1
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,839
Speaker 1: On the west edge of the small town of Five

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,119
Lakes lies or Lake Road. It is a narrow, ruddy,

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:18,239
twisted lane that runs between small and waverly roads. On

4
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,440
one side, the land is heavily forested and rises higher

5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,480
than the church steeple, and on the other side, the

6
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,280
land slopes down to or Lake, a large dank, lily

7
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:33,520
covered wetland beyond. On both sides, the land is wooded, dark,

8
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,880
and as silent as a grave. They say it always

9
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,640
feels cold on or Lake Road, even on the hottest days.

10
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,520
Some say the road is haunted, that a wild man,

11
00:00:44,799 --> 00:00:47,719
a creature, or even a witch lives in the forest.

12
00:00:49,119 --> 00:00:52,399
The first person to notice something strange on or Lake

13
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,159
Road was young Master John Rumley Sky, one of the

14
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,920
richest family in Five Lakes. One day, as Rumley later

15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,679
told the tale, he was riding down the road when

16
00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:07,239
halfway through he saw an old, withered woman sitting on

17
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,359
a stump paring an apple. He didn't recognize her as

18
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,480
anyone he knew, so he dismounted to address her. Once

19
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:18,760
he was on the ground, the woman had vanished stumping.

20
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:24,480
All after that, there were disappearances at least three known

21
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,599
to the people in Five Lakes, people traveling alone down

22
00:01:28,879 --> 00:01:31,799
or Lake Road who went onto the lane and never

23
00:01:31,879 --> 00:01:38,400
came out. Legend, of course, added another two. On Waverley Road,

24
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:42,599
there was a small country store called Miller's Market. Mister

25
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,640
Miller owned this old time general store and had for

26
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,920
many years. He was a respected man in Five Lakes.

27
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:53,120
He didn't believe the Or Lake stories, though he did

28
00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:56,560
acknowledge that, yes, over the years, there had been some

29
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,840
disappearances in the area, and that what they all seemed

30
00:01:59,879 --> 00:02:03,920
to have in common were people traveling on Oor Lake Road.

31
00:02:05,319 --> 00:02:09,120
Mister Miller had a daughter named Mary. His wife had

32
00:02:09,159 --> 00:02:12,560
died some years before, and Mary was very dear to

33
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:17,199
her father. Like her mother, she had rich, thick hair,

34
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,439
dark as coal, eyes a gem like blue, and lips

35
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:26,120
red as summer berries. She was a lively, dutiful girl

36
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:30,759
and a renowned sixteen year old beauty. Many people would

37
00:02:30,759 --> 00:02:34,439
stop at Miller's Market just to see Mary, maybe buy

38
00:02:34,479 --> 00:02:37,199
a coke or a sandwich as an excuse to pause

39
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,280
a while and talk with her. One of the people

40
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,319
was a big, husky young man named Daniel Martin. Dan

41
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,560
would stop every day after work to spend time with Mary,

42
00:02:48,159 --> 00:02:51,400
and one day mister Miller asked Mary about the braid

43
00:02:51,439 --> 00:02:53,719
and her hair, and she told him it was what

44
00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:57,800
they called a love Not on the other end of

45
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,439
our lake road was Small Road, and the last house

46
00:03:01,479 --> 00:03:05,919
on Small Road was owned by the Wilmos family. As

47
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,319
it happened that winter, the Wilmos baby took sick. Doctor

48
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,719
Kepler went out there to find the infant to be

49
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:15,919
very sick, indeed, so he phoned in a prescription to

50
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,520
be delivered immediately. The delivery boy from the pharmacy in

51
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,719
Five Lakes went out on Waverley Road and stopped at

52
00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:27,800
Miller's market. When he learned from mister Miller that he

53
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,000
would have to take or Lake Road to reach the

54
00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:33,599
Wilma's place on Small Road, he declared that he was

55
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,639
afraid and he wouldn't do it. It's your job and

56
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,080
your duty, mister Miller told him. But the boy said no,

57
00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:45,120
he wouldn't travel on or Lake Road. Had they never

58
00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:50,240
heard the rumors about the place. Confounded rumor boy said,

59
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:53,199
mister Miller, you might be saving that child's life with

60
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,479
this medicine, and I might be losing my own in

61
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,919
doing so. The boy replied, and he set the package

62
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,520
down on the counter and ran out. It happened that

63
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,759
Dan Martin was in the store just then talking with Mary.

64
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:12,599
He heard the conversation and watched the boy leave. Mister

65
00:04:12,639 --> 00:04:17,199
Miller stood there, almost quivering with disgust. He started to

66
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,399
take off his shop apron and said, Mary, I'm off

67
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:22,759
to the Wilma's place. You mind the store for me,

68
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,959
and just do as we always do and close at six.

69
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,360
This was December and it was already dusk. The sun

70
00:04:31,519 --> 00:04:36,560
was a cold ragball on the splintered western horizon. Dan

71
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,040
Martin stepped up and said, mister Miller, here, give it

72
00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:43,160
to me. I'll deliver the package. The Wilma's house is

73
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,920
that blue house, right, yes, said mister Miller. It's the

74
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,959
last house on small road, and as soon as you're

75
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,120
off four Lake Road, it's that house. You sure you

76
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,000
want to do this, Dan, Well, I'm not sure, said Dan.

77
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,360
But it's better for me to go than you, with

78
00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:03,279
your business and all. And if I leave now, I'll

79
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,839
be back no later than midnight. And so that's when

80
00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:11,839
Dan Martin left. But he didn't return at midnight, and

81
00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:15,879
he didn't return at dawn. In fact, he never returned

82
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,240
at all. What we do know is that he did

83
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,120
reach the Wilmos house sometime around ten o'clock because he

84
00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:28,639
delivered the medicine that saved the Wilma's boy. That baby

85
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,600
was Ron Wilmos, and his son Ray now owns the

86
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,000
dry cleaning shop in Five Lakes. But Dan Martin never

87
00:05:36,079 --> 00:05:39,120
returned from his errand that saved Ron Wilmos, and he

88
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:42,319
never returned to Miller's market, and he never returned to

89
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,920
Mary with the dark love knot in her hair. Many

90
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,680
years passed, the water table rose, and the rising waters

91
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,040
of or Lake nibbled away at or Lake Road, and

92
00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:57,319
they had to close it. No one had traveled that

93
00:05:57,439 --> 00:06:00,680
road for a long while. Anyway, the store worries about

94
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,680
the creature, the wildman or the witch persisted. There was

95
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,519
a new story about the disappearance of Dan Martin. Mister

96
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,720
Miller took sick. A few years after this happened. He died,

97
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,680
and dutiful Mary took over the market. She was known,

98
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,759
like her father, for kindness and for her beauty, though

99
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,040
they said something seemed to have gone out of her

100
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,240
after Dan Martin disappeared. She never married, though it is

101
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:31,319
said she had many offers. Some time later, Mary died

102
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,160
when she was in her early forties and there was

103
00:06:34,199 --> 00:06:38,519
no one left to take over the store. Five Lakes

104
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,120
has changed over the years, but not much. The land

105
00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:45,959
indoors or a lake indoors and has in fact grown.

106
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,000
There is still a deep gnarl dark forest where Ora

107
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,680
Lake Road once lay. Eventually, over the years, the stories

108
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,680
about the wildman, the creature, the witch, even about Dan

109
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,720
Martin ceased. Things change and go on what do you do?

110
00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:09,120
But sometimes on dark December nights, between twilight or his

111
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,079
latest midnight, the people that still live along Waverley Road

112
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,120
swear they can see a shadowy figure, a big man,

113
00:07:17,399 --> 00:07:21,319
walk out of the woods where or Lake Road once lay.

114
00:07:21,519 --> 00:07:24,279
He walks to the ruins of Miller's Market, which is

115
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,439
now abandoned and boarded over, and he walks to the

116
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,519
market and looks around as if someone is waiting for him,

117
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,360
expecting him. If you go to or Lake Road today,

118
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,279
you can still find a remnant of the road where

119
00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:43,399
John Rumley met the old woman on the small roadside.

120
00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:46,639
The Wilma's house is long gone, and there's an orchard

121
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,759
and a day spa there. Now on Waverley you can

122
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,959
see the old Miller's Market building washed gray by the

123
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,920
years and back by a tangle of thorns. Be careful

124
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,560
if you walk around the building the thorn you're thick

125
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:04,439
and sharp as knives. But above all, don't spend much

126
00:08:04,519 --> 00:08:08,040
time pondering oor Lake Road. You just might wind up

127
00:08:08,079 --> 00:08:14,839
writing a story about it. I got a message on

128
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,720
Facebook from someone who follows my page, or is who's

129
00:08:19,879 --> 00:08:24,439
liked my page, and they posted a series of articles

130
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,680
on a some kind of creature down in Smith County, Mississippi.

131
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,399
This caught my attention and it's a whole series of articles,

132
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:34,240
and I thought i'd just share it with you guys.

133
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,960
The name of the publication is The Morning Call. I

134
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,320
don't know where that paper was based out of, but

135
00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:47,360
the first article was issued on September one, nineteen twenty nine,

136
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,320
on a Sunday, and the big headline is big posse

137
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,120
will seek wild woman this morning. So I'm just gonna

138
00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:57,159
start at the first article, and I'm gonna read them

139
00:08:57,159 --> 00:08:59,840
all to you because I don't know why, but these old,

140
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,480
older articles really interest me. But here we go. Let me.

141
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,000
I'm just reading this off my screen, so y'all bear

142
00:09:07,039 --> 00:09:10,519
with me. Here a wild woman reported in the swamps

143
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,799
in Smith County. Scores of citizens from Smith and Jones

144
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,639
Counties are expected to gather at Taylorsville Sunday morning, when

145
00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:21,279
a hunt will begin at eight o'clock for a wild

146
00:09:21,399 --> 00:09:24,679
woman reported to be in the swamps near that town.

147
00:09:25,759 --> 00:09:30,759
Marshall TE. Blankney of Taylorsville informed the Call Saturday night.

148
00:09:31,799 --> 00:09:34,480
Whether the affair will be a wild woman chase or

149
00:09:34,519 --> 00:09:38,279
a wild goose chase remains to be seen. At any rate,

150
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,200
a lot of people who have never before chased wild

151
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:44,840
women are expected to be on hand. Quote. We are

152
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,600
extending a special limitation to our Laurel friends to come

153
00:09:48,639 --> 00:09:53,320
out and join us in this hunt. Marshall Blankney stated, quote,

154
00:09:53,399 --> 00:09:56,440
we intend to comb the swamp where she is reported

155
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,720
to be until we find her. That Marshall can continues on.

156
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,720
We will begin our search. We will not use dogs

157
00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:07,080
to track her down, but should it become necessary in

158
00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:11,159
order to locate her, we will probably secure some good hounds.

159
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,000
Some of this is real faded on the article, so

160
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,039
I'm having a strain to read it. The search for

161
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,039
the wild woman reported to be inhabiting the swamps near

162
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:26,879
Taylor Taylorsville follows the account which PA Walker, a farmer

163
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,399
tells of having seen such a creature and talked with

164
00:10:30,519 --> 00:10:34,399
her several days ago at his farm. According to mister

165
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,320
Walker's description, the woman, who was nude except for a

166
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,159
cloth girdle, was covered from head to foot with hair

167
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:47,000
about four inches long. From mister Walker's description, she has

168
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,720
more the appearance of an animal than a human being.

169
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,960
Mister Walker states that he questioned the woman when she

170
00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:57,080
suddenly appeared near him at the edge of the swamp

171
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,519
where he was chopping wood. She told the Smith County

172
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,960
farmer that she was reared in Alabama about six years

173
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,480
ago and became mentally deranged. Since that time. She has

174
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,960
reported to have said she has lived in the Smith

175
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,639
County swamp, where she has shot her food and eaten

176
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,799
it raw. We have heard no definite reports of the

177
00:11:18,799 --> 00:11:22,919
woman since she was seen by mister Walker, Marshall Blakeney

178
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,720
told the call, but we have reason to believe that

179
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,039
she is still in the swamp where she was first reported.

180
00:11:29,279 --> 00:11:33,600
That's the first article. The second thing of the Gentleman

181
00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:37,960
sent me is another article says big Posse fails to

182
00:11:38,039 --> 00:11:42,039
find trace of wild woman. If there's a wild woman

183
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,720
in Leaf River Swamp in Smith County, one hundred and

184
00:11:44,799 --> 00:11:49,039
fifty citizens from that and adjoining counties failed Sunday morning

185
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,200
to find hair nor height of her, and from all reports,

186
00:11:53,399 --> 00:11:57,120
she has plenty of the lighter and maybe presumed sooner

187
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,519
or later to shed some of that hair near her lair.

188
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,120
Gathering at the home of Pa Walker, Smith County farmer,

189
00:12:05,159 --> 00:12:08,159
who reported several days ago that the wild woman had

190
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,919
visited him at his farm, a large posse led by

191
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,039
Sheriff TJ. Tullis, Smith County, began a search for the

192
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,519
harry Swamp Dennison. About eight o'clock, members of the posse

193
00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:24,519
stationed themselves fifty paces apart and proceeded up to swamp

194
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,039
until they reached a vacated mill house, where the woman

195
00:12:28,399 --> 00:12:33,039
told mister Walker she spent her nights. Nowhere was there

196
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,759
a trace of the wild woman found, and before eleven

197
00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:39,080
o'clock the posse decided that it might be engaged in

198
00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:42,559
a wild goose chase instead of one for a wallwoman,

199
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,559
and abandoned the search. No further efforts will be made

200
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,399
to apprehend the weird creature, officers state unless she again

201
00:12:50,759 --> 00:12:54,320
makes her appearance. In such a case, dogs will be

202
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,600
secured and put on her trail. Failure of the posse

203
00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:02,440
to find the wall woman was the greatest disappointment in

204
00:13:02,519 --> 00:13:05,360
the lives of a lot of Laurel County people who

205
00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:09,159
have been preparing themselves for a look at the unusual lady.

206
00:13:09,799 --> 00:13:12,240
From all the descriptions, she is covered from head to

207
00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:16,039
foot with brown hair about four or five inches long.

208
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,399
Her face is covered with hair two inches long, and

209
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,240
for six years, as the wild Woman's story goes, she

210
00:13:23,279 --> 00:13:26,759
has been living in Leaf River swamp, shooting her food

211
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:32,200
and eating at raw That's a second article. Here's another article,

212
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,519
and I don't I guess it's from the same newspaper.

213
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,080
Call offers reward for a wild woman. The Morning Call

214
00:13:39,159 --> 00:13:42,440
will pay one hundred dollars in cash to any person

215
00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:45,960
or persons delivering to the office of this newspaper a

216
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,879
wild woman found in a Smith County swamp, whose body

217
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,000
is naturally covered with brown hair between four and five

218
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,559
inches long, and whose face is covered with hair one

219
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,399
inch long, whose hair drops down over her wrist us

220
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,000
to her knuckle joints, and that on her feet trails

221
00:14:04,039 --> 00:14:07,799
in the dust as she walks to and fro. Provided

222
00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:12,879
these conditions are carefully observed, Number one, said wild woman

223
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,000
must be securely tied and delivered at this office. We

224
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,600
don't propose to have our whole staff laid up in

225
00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:22,919
the hospital. She must be brought directly to this newspaper

226
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,000
office after she is found. Note. If her clothing or

227
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,000
absence of it is ultra modern, she may be taken

228
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,039
first to a dress shop and guarbed. However, the lady's

229
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,679
wishes shall be abided by in this case. If she

230
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:44,039
doesn't care well, we aren't particular either. Number three, Any

231
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,399
and all newspaper interviews with her must be secured by

232
00:14:47,559 --> 00:14:51,600
representative of the call. We may have to employ a

233
00:14:51,639 --> 00:14:55,759
special reporter to handle this assignment. Our regular staff is

234
00:14:55,799 --> 00:14:59,879
skittish of the wild woman. Number four The said l

235
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:05,799
must be really wild. That is wilder, wilder than the

236
00:15:05,919 --> 00:15:09,279
wilder than women usually are. We don't want her if

237
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,759
she's just crazy. A lot of people are that way. Okay,

238
00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:17,159
this gets better as we go. Okay, here's another one.

239
00:15:17,679 --> 00:15:21,240
I can't see the title of it. Let me zoom out. Okay,

240
00:15:21,559 --> 00:15:27,840
Smith County Man seeks wild Woman Naked in the Woods, Taylorsville,

241
00:15:27,919 --> 00:15:31,720
August thirty first. Apparently this was written before the first

242
00:15:31,799 --> 00:15:34,639
article I read you, but here we go hopes had

243
00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:37,240
not been abandoned Friday night in the search for a

244
00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:39,720
wild woman who is reported to be living in the

245
00:15:39,759 --> 00:15:43,399
swamps a few miles below here. The first reports were

246
00:15:43,399 --> 00:15:47,360
given last Wednesday, when Pink Walker, a farmer who lives

247
00:15:47,399 --> 00:15:50,240
below here, said that the woman approached him where he

248
00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:53,639
was at work in the woods. A search was made,

249
00:15:53,679 --> 00:15:57,200
but no trace of her was found. Rumors were spread

250
00:15:57,279 --> 00:16:00,360
Friday that other people living in that vicinity he had

251
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,120
seen a wild woman. Walker is said to have stated

252
00:16:04,159 --> 00:16:08,039
that she had long hair, she was manlike, and wore

253
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:13,519
very little clothing. Okay, that's another. Here's one more again.

254
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,799
I'm assuming this is from the call, but it says

255
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,879
wild woman eludes Smith County posse. All right, this is

256
00:16:19,919 --> 00:16:24,399
September two, the day after the first article. Smith County's

257
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,320
wild woman is still at large, roaming the woods of

258
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,399
that county at will and eating raw rabbits and other tidbits,

259
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,200
unmolested by the rules of etiquette and unhampered by the

260
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,519
criticisms of society. Efforts of a posse is said to

261
00:16:39,559 --> 00:16:42,120
have contained at least one hundred and fifty seekers for

262
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,519
the wild woman and determined to catch her, have returned

263
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:51,159
to their homes solely disappointed and painfully unrewarded they didn't

264
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,480
find her. The posse was headed by Sheriff TJ. Tullis

265
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,320
and Town Marshall Borough Blakeney of Taylorsville in the name

266
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,639
of the law to capture the wild Woman of Leaf

267
00:17:02,759 --> 00:17:06,079
River Swamp or know the reason why they now know

268
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,640
they couldn't find her. The party formed at the home

269
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,960
of Pa Walker, who reported seeing the demented woman who

270
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,359
claims to have lived in the swamps the past six years,

271
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,880
and took to the lowlands of the river at eight

272
00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:22,960
thirty o clock space fifty paces apart. The party moved

273
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,240
down the river for several miles to the abandoned sawmills

274
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,359
site where the young woman claims to have lived, without

275
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,640
seeing any trace of her. The search was given up

276
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,240
about ten thirty o'clock and the party made its way

277
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,839
back to the starting point. It is likely that no

278
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,559
further effort will be made by a posse to run

279
00:17:42,599 --> 00:17:45,720
the woman to earth, but that if she reappeared, it

280
00:17:45,799 --> 00:17:48,680
is planned to secure dogs and put on her trail.

281
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,759
The woman, extremely muscular, is said to be covered in

282
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,079
short brown hair. That's the end of that one. And

283
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:01,000
here's one more. I don't see the title for it, mitral, Okay,

284
00:18:01,039 --> 00:18:04,079
the title is wild woman. I'm sorry. Unmolested by the

285
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,880
rules of etiquette and unhampered by polite society, a wild

286
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,599
woman has been eluding all searchers in the woods of

287
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,519
Smith County, famous now as the wild Woman of Leaf

288
00:18:14,599 --> 00:18:18,000
River Swamps. She dines on raw rabbits and other tidbits,

289
00:18:18,039 --> 00:18:21,720
wears little if any clothing, and is covered with short

290
00:18:21,759 --> 00:18:25,839
brown hair, and has been seen several times but never captured.

291
00:18:26,319 --> 00:18:28,599
And I think that's the last article. But anyway, I

292
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,079
thought that was interesting, and you all may not think

293
00:18:32,079 --> 00:18:37,160
it is. But I have so many people, most of

294
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,039
them that I know are dead now dead and gone,

295
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:45,200
but uncles and aints and just people I grew grew up.

296
00:18:45,319 --> 00:18:48,559
This team down there around Amy and the tom Bigbee

297
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,240
River bottoms. That's where my people lived, and I would

298
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,559
love to have them around and ask them if they

299
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,359
remember this, because a lot of them were live in

300
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:04,160
nineteen twenty nine. I'm not interested in bigfoot research whatsoever.

301
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,480
I'm not interested in camping out to look for them,

302
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,839
gathering evidence of anything that has anything to do with

303
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,720
looking for them to prove they exist. I know they exist.

304
00:19:14,759 --> 00:19:18,160
I've seen them. There is at least one clan that

305
00:19:18,319 --> 00:19:21,000
lives in this particular area, and I'm not the only

306
00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:23,960
one who has seen them. You could say that all

307
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,240
the farmers who live in this area have seen it,

308
00:19:26,319 --> 00:19:29,440
and we all know they're here. We choose to leave

309
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:34,559
them alone. I am other than a farmer, a paranormal investigator.

310
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,559
I live on my family farm that has been in

311
00:19:37,599 --> 00:19:41,599
my family for over two hundred years. This particular house

312
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,759
that I live in was built in eighteen sixty. Of course,

313
00:19:45,799 --> 00:19:48,680
it has gone through many updates through the years, and

314
00:19:48,759 --> 00:19:51,920
it also happens to be haunted, but that's not really

315
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,799
why I'm sending this. This property borders the largest land

316
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,400
state park in this state. There are thousands of ares

317
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,720
of forest in this area, which a lot of people

318
00:20:02,759 --> 00:20:07,240
find surprising for this area of Illinois. Our fields are

319
00:20:07,279 --> 00:20:09,720
spread out a bit in this area, and instead of

320
00:20:09,759 --> 00:20:12,359
taking the highway, we would cut up over the ridge

321
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,079
and end up on the blacktop road that ran behind

322
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,680
the park. I've heard about Bigfoot all my life, and

323
00:20:18,759 --> 00:20:22,160
sometimes the other farmers in the area would mention seeing

324
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,920
one or catching a glimpse of one from time to time.

325
00:20:25,599 --> 00:20:27,880
I didn't pay much attention to it because at the

326
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,920
time I never had had an encounter. I would sit

327
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,000
out on the back deck at night and I would

328
00:20:34,039 --> 00:20:37,000
hear wood knocks in an occasional wound, but I never

329
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,599
saw one. Sometimes I would take a baseball bat and

330
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,000
hit a tree or even the railing of the deck,

331
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,559
and sometimes I would get an answer. In the late

332
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,440
nineteen nineties, I cut up over the ridge and I

333
00:20:49,519 --> 00:20:52,519
was on the blacktop. I was almost to the back

334
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,440
entrance of the park when this huge creature jumped the

335
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,720
fence along the park. It was on my right and

336
00:20:58,759 --> 00:21:01,680
it stood in the road. I had to slam on

337
00:21:01,759 --> 00:21:04,160
my brakes or I would have hid it. And when

338
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,759
I stopped, I could not have been more than twenty

339
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:11,200
feet away. This thing was huge, and I'm guessing it

340
00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:13,640
was seven and a half feet tall and three feet

341
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,160
across at the shoulders. It had dark brown hair all

342
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,440
over its body except on its face. It had a

343
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,759
broad nose, wide set eyes, and a protruding forehead, and

344
00:21:24,799 --> 00:21:28,240
its arms almost appeared to be normal from the shoulders

345
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,519
to the elbows, but from the elbow to the hands,

346
00:21:31,559 --> 00:21:35,000
the arms were long. It stood there and we made

347
00:21:35,039 --> 00:21:38,359
eye contact for what seemed like a full minute. I

348
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,519
had the window down on my truck, and there was

349
00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:42,759
a slight breeze, and I caught a whiff of a

350
00:21:42,799 --> 00:21:46,920
strong odor. It was almost like a bad body odor,

351
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,079
like someone who had not had a bath in months.

352
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,599
It never made a move towards me. It just stood there,

353
00:21:53,839 --> 00:21:56,400
and then suddenly it crossed the road and went down

354
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,839
the hill to my left. I tried to see where

355
00:21:59,839 --> 00:22:02,279
it was going, but the trees were so thick and

356
00:22:02,319 --> 00:22:05,359
I couldn't see it. It was almost like it vanished.

357
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,880
The sun was setting, but it was not quite dust,

358
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,480
so there were still plenty of light. The sun that

359
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,079
was left was behind me. I rolled up my window

360
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,319
and I locked my doors, and I turned around and

361
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,240
I went back home. When I got home, I told

362
00:22:20,319 --> 00:22:23,240
my mom what I had seen, and she never said

363
00:22:23,279 --> 00:22:27,680
a word. She just nodded. Her response made me think

364
00:22:27,839 --> 00:22:30,960
she had seen it, or at least knew of its existence.

365
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,480
We never had problems with them coming down to the

366
00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:37,960
farms and bothering our livestock. But I think that's because

367
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,680
there are so many deer around here and there's no

368
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,240
need to come raid a farm, but listening to them

369
00:22:44,319 --> 00:22:47,200
you can tell there are more than one. You will

370
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,000
hear a tree not coming from one direction, and it

371
00:22:50,039 --> 00:22:53,359
will be answered from another, the same with the whoops.

372
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,720
This farm sits near the Mississippi River, and in December

373
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,440
of twenty fifteen, we had you might call a freak

374
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,279
of flood. We have flooding in the spring, but never

375
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,799
in the winter. It was flooding our land, so my

376
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,640
mother and I moved into a house in town. Three

377
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,119
weeks later, the floodwaters receded enough that we could have

378
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,599
moved back, but we decided to spend the rest of

379
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,680
the winter in town. We had a hired hand and

380
00:23:22,759 --> 00:23:25,160
he called one day to say that he had seen

381
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,200
a bigfoot crossing one of the pastures near the house.

382
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,319
This was the first time he had seen one, so

383
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,599
he was very excited and even afraid. I went down

384
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,480
there to check things out and to assess any damage

385
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,640
from the flood. It had snowed a couple of inches

386
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,400
the night before, not much. My farm hand and I

387
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,240
went to the house and there were these huge footprints

388
00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:50,880
that looked like it had walked around the house and

389
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,359
had even stopped to look into four of the windows.

390
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,880
I believe they know who belongs here, and since we

391
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,200
were gone, it was looking for a us. I know

392
00:24:01,279 --> 00:24:05,160
it sounds silly, but that's my opinion. This is the

393
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,400
only time I know of that one has come to

394
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,960
one of our houses. We and the other farmers in

395
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,680
this area have not been bothered by them, except for

396
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,960
a sighting now and then, one either crossing a field

397
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,440
or walking along the woodline or along the river. Sometimes

398
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,200
while out hunting there will be reports of a sighting.

399
00:24:24,759 --> 00:24:27,000
I'm not saying we see them every day, but we

400
00:24:27,079 --> 00:24:29,119
do see them. When they decide to come out of

401
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,400
the woods. They pretty much leave us alone and we

402
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,920
don't bother them. We've been fortunate that they have not

403
00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:40,640
bothered our homes are our livestock. On October twenty third,

404
00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:44,720
twenty eighteen, my farm hand, Mike, and myself went to

405
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,480
pick up some per simmons because we had had a

406
00:24:47,519 --> 00:24:50,160
frost a couple of days before and that's the best

407
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,400
time to pick them up. I also wanted to see

408
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,960
if there were any pawpaws left, and even though it

409
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,200
was a bit late in the year for them, any

410
00:24:58,279 --> 00:25:00,440
that were left will fall off the t and the

411
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,599
deer and other animals are going to get him, but

412
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,359
I figured it was worth a look. Mike and I

413
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,240
hopped into his truck and headed for the pawpaw trees

414
00:25:08,319 --> 00:25:11,480
because they were closer. When we got there, we saw

415
00:25:11,519 --> 00:25:13,680
that there were some on the ground and some on

416
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,119
the trees. Mike grabbed a ladder out of his truck,

417
00:25:17,279 --> 00:25:19,440
and as he was setting it up, he pointed to

418
00:25:19,519 --> 00:25:22,559
a tree stump about halfway up the small hill and

419
00:25:22,599 --> 00:25:25,839
said that he didn't remember that stump being there. I

420
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,359
don't remember seeing it either. Mike set up the ladder,

421
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,880
and as he was picking off the tree, I was

422
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,519
picking some up off the ground. I picked a few up.

423
00:25:35,839 --> 00:25:38,519
I straightened up, and I was hitting the head with

424
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:43,119
a pawpaul. Oh crap. I heard Mike say. We looked

425
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:47,039
up the hill and that stump was gone. I told

426
00:25:47,079 --> 00:25:49,519
Mike to quickly gather up what he had and get

427
00:25:49,519 --> 00:25:52,279
in the truck. He grabbed the ladder and he threw

428
00:25:52,319 --> 00:25:55,119
it into the bed of his truck. I stopped and

429
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,039
started digging through a backpack. We heard a grunt just

430
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,279
inside the tree lying thirty feet away, and we heard

431
00:26:02,279 --> 00:26:05,799
a big crack like something had stepped on a large stick.

432
00:26:06,599 --> 00:26:08,960
I was still fumbling through my backpack, and he was

433
00:26:09,079 --> 00:26:12,000
urging me to hurry up. I was trying to hurry up,

434
00:26:12,039 --> 00:26:14,680
but I couldn't find my phone. Who the hell are

435
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,599
you gonna call? He asked, The phone has a camera

436
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,519
on it, I said, apparently I had left the phone

437
00:26:20,519 --> 00:26:24,160
at home. Though I had some venison jerky with me

438
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,799
that I had brought for the day. I pulled it

439
00:26:26,839 --> 00:26:29,559
out and I stopped and laid some on a stump,

440
00:26:29,839 --> 00:26:32,000
and then I headed for the truck and we left.

441
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,960
Mike was in hysterics. I knew something was wrong with

442
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,920
that stump. It had eyes, he said. He kept asking

443
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,079
me how I could be so calm. I finally persuaded

444
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,759
him to stop and let me dry, because I honestly

445
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,279
thought he was going to wreck. He stopped and I

446
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,480
drove the rest of the way to Mike's house, and

447
00:26:51,519 --> 00:26:54,119
then I walked home from there. It was only about

448
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,240
a mile. The next day I drove out to the

449
00:26:57,279 --> 00:27:00,799
Pawpaul Pass to see if I could find anything. I

450
00:27:00,839 --> 00:27:03,759
had left a five gallon bucket with a few pawpoles

451
00:27:03,799 --> 00:27:06,319
in it. The bucket was tipped over and the paw

452
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,119
poles were gone, along with the jerky. I looked around

453
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,759
for footprints or anything else that I could find, but

454
00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:16,519
I didn't see anything. I drove out to the Presimon

455
00:27:16,559 --> 00:27:18,720
trees but didn't get out of the truck because some

456
00:27:18,759 --> 00:27:22,000
of the lower branches had been broken off. They looked

457
00:27:22,039 --> 00:27:24,440
almost like they had been twisted, and you can tell

458
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,319
these were fresh breaks. We had not had any storms

459
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,680
or high winds, so I can only guess at what

460
00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:33,839
broke them off. I never got out of the truck

461
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,680
and I went home. In July, I had to have

462
00:27:37,759 --> 00:27:40,440
some work done on my truck. I took it to

463
00:27:40,519 --> 00:27:43,160
my cousin who has a shop in the next county.

464
00:27:43,559 --> 00:27:46,119
He's a good mechanic and when he fixes something, he

465
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,279
does it right. He also gives me a break on

466
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,599
the labor charges. He had my truck for a week

467
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,880
because he had to wait on some parts to come in.

468
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,119
And when I went to pick up the truck, he

469
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,319
told me that he was going to the Great Smoky

470
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,039
Mountains for vacation to stay in a cabin owned by

471
00:28:03,079 --> 00:28:07,039
his sister. He had seen bears and other critters on

472
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,880
his last trip there, and so jokingly I asked him

473
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,200
if he had ever seen a bigfoot because there are

474
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,400
a lot of sightings down there. He went totally quiet.

475
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,640
I had to coax him to tell me what was wrong,

476
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,799
and he asked me if I believed in bigfoot, and

477
00:28:23,839 --> 00:28:26,319
when I said yes, that I had seen him, he

478
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,440
told me about when he and his wife and his

479
00:28:28,599 --> 00:28:31,240
son went mushroom hunting in the hills on the back

480
00:28:31,279 --> 00:28:34,960
of our property just last May. The three of them

481
00:28:35,039 --> 00:28:38,200
had been standing on a hill when one walked across

482
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,839
a clearing below them. He said it was dark and

483
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:46,000
it was walking on two legs. He raised his binoculars,

484
00:28:46,039 --> 00:28:48,200
but by the time he got them out to look

485
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,640
at the creature, all he saw was its back. He

486
00:28:51,759 --> 00:28:54,200
told his wife and son not to make any noise

487
00:28:54,279 --> 00:28:57,400
and to walk quietly back to the truck. He didn't

488
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,599
want to draw the attention of the creature. But that

489
00:29:00,799 --> 00:29:04,680
wasn't the only bigfoot my cousin had seen. He was

490
00:29:04,839 --> 00:29:07,920
raised in this area. They lived on a farm up

491
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,319
on the ridge. He didn't lean towards farming, so he

492
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,880
got a job in town when he was nineteen. He

493
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:19,279
worked late one night until one am. On his way home,

494
00:29:19,359 --> 00:29:21,680
he was about a mile from home when one came

495
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,240
out of the woods and crossed in front of him.

496
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,039
It stopped for a moment and then went into the

497
00:29:27,039 --> 00:29:29,960
woods on the other side of the road. It scared

498
00:29:30,039 --> 00:29:32,319
him so bad that he didn't drive on that road

499
00:29:32,359 --> 00:29:35,839
at night again for two years. Instead, he took a

500
00:29:35,839 --> 00:29:39,920
longer route home. He never told anyone about that until

501
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,400
he and his family saw the one in May, and

502
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,799
on the drive home he told them all about it.

503
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,359
I'm guessing he felt better knowing he was not the

504
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,400
only one who had seen a bigfoot. The area where

505
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,440
these farms is are isolated. The nearest town in any

506
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:01,119
direction is forty minutes away. The Mississippi, Missouri and the

507
00:30:01,119 --> 00:30:05,079
Illinois Rivers are not far away either. There are acres

508
00:30:05,119 --> 00:30:08,759
and acres of woods. It's a great area for bigfoot

509
00:30:08,799 --> 00:30:11,200
to live and hide and not be seen for long

510
00:30:11,279 --> 00:30:15,279
periods of time. There are plenty of deer berries and

511
00:30:15,359 --> 00:30:18,200
other sources of food for them, and this is probably

512
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,160
why they've not rated our farms. But we also know

513
00:30:22,279 --> 00:30:26,079
that these things are dangerous. They have enormous strength, and

514
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,519
at any time they could turn on us if they

515
00:30:28,519 --> 00:30:31,839
had a mind to live and let live only go

516
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,359
so far when dealing with a non human creature. But

517
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,480
we give them a wide path. Not long ago, the

518
00:30:39,559 --> 00:30:41,759
man down the road told me about being in his

519
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,440
field checking his corn when one appeared out of nowhere.

520
00:30:46,079 --> 00:30:48,400
He was almost face to face with it, and it

521
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,400
shook him up pretty good. I grew up on this farm,

522
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,920
I was born on it. I played in these woods

523
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,240
and I hunted in them since I was fourteen. I

524
00:30:58,279 --> 00:31:01,440
fished in the river, been all over this area. I

525
00:31:01,559 --> 00:31:06,519
never saw one until I became an adult. The first encounter,

526
00:31:06,799 --> 00:31:11,079
although it didn't traumatize me, changed my life. It made

527
00:31:11,119 --> 00:31:13,559
me aware that there are things in this world that

528
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:18,519
you once believed did not exist. That's a strange statement

529
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:23,000
coming from someone who chases ghosts. I know that, but

530
00:31:23,039 --> 00:31:25,920
the ghosts seemed far more normal to me because I

531
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,400
had been around them all my life. My dad was

532
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,720
from Arkansas. I remember him telling me when I would

533
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,920
be getting ready to go play in the woods, be careful,

534
00:31:36,039 --> 00:31:39,000
don't let them boogers get you. I never took him

535
00:31:39,039 --> 00:31:42,240
seriously because I always thought he meant the Boogeyman and

536
00:31:42,279 --> 00:31:45,640
I didn't believe in it. Little did I know that

537
00:31:45,759 --> 00:31:57,000
he is real and sign spooky
