00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:11.480
This story that I have was submitted
by Alex Voss. It's our last story

2
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:19.719
of the night. I have titled
it Down on the Farm. Thank you

3
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:23.079
Alex for your submission. Go ahead
and go into it here. This story

4
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:26.600
takes place at my grandparents' farm in
the summer of twenty eighteen. I was

5
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.079
alone one night. Since my grandparents
were away, I was getting paid to

6
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:33.280
watch the farm for a couple of
nights. On the last night, I

7
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:37.119
was watching TV in the living room
when I started to hear strange noise coming

8
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:41.439
from outside in the cornfield. At
first, I shrugged it off because I

9
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:45.719
figured it was most likely a dear
that that wasn't until I heard all the

10
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:50.079
cows start mowing at the same time. Usually, when you hear maybe one

11
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:54.840
cow moo that's not a big deal. But when every cow starts mooing,

12
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:59.719
then you know something is wrong.
Something or someone would have to startle them.

13
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:04.840
To me, all the cows freak
out at the same time. I

14
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.599
was the only one at the farm
watching over the farms. Of course,

15
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.560
it was my job to see what
was going on, so I went to

16
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.640
the closet to get a coat on
and go outside. But I was just

17
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:21.000
about to go outside when I heard
a very high pitched cowscream. I stood

18
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.239
still for a while, shaking in
my boots. Something terribly wrong was going

19
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:27.760
on with the cows. I quickly
ran upstairs in my grandpa's room under his

20
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:32.560
bed. He always kept a few
guns loaded. I made sure the Honting

21
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:37.439
rifle was loaded, and I went
outside. The cow still would not stop

22
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.760
moving. I went into the barn
to check. There was nothing out of

23
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.079
the ordinary going on inside the barn. All the cows were still here.

24
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:48.000
That was until I walked further down
and noticed that one cow was missing from

25
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:51.280
the stall. From his stall,
it didn't make sense. I was sure

26
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.439
he was tied up the last time
I had checked a few hours, right

27
00:01:53.519 --> 00:02:00.680
before darkness. I knew I saw
him. I thought I could hear a

28
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:04.920
cow make a high pitched moose sound
as it's titled. As it's worded,

29
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.639
excuse me from the cornfield outside the
barn. So I went outside. But

30
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:13.280
while I was walking to the field, I swear I heard what sounded like

31
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.759
people talking. I finally had enough
of this and I fired two rounds into

32
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:21.759
the air. Everything went silent.
The cows were quiet. I couldn't hear

33
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.280
anything from the field. That wasn't
until I heard the footsteps in the field.

34
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.800
I didn't know if I had the
balls to go inside the cornfield,

35
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.240
but I had to do it.
I was watching over the farm anyway.

36
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:36.680
This was in the exact reason farmers
have guns. I couldn't just hide inside

37
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.039
with trespassers in the field. It
was my job to protect the farm.

38
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:44.400
I started to walk into the crops
and I could hear many pairs of footsteps

39
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.919
all beside me. I was even
getting more freaked out as I continued to

40
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:52.960
walk deeper in the field, and
then I froze down one of the rows

41
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:54.960
of the cornfield. There was a
person in all blacks standing a few feet

42
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:59.560
away from me. I rose my
gun up, telling him to get out

43
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:04.639
of my I wasn't bluffing. I
was ready to shoot, but he never

44
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.039
moved, so I fired another round
into the air to scare him off,

45
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:13.599
but he still didn't move an itche
Then he actually started walking towards me with

46
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:19.280
his arms slightly out, as if
telling me to lower my weapon. I

47
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:23.840
aimed my gun at him again,
screaming go away. That's when I made

48
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.960
the horrible realization that I was surrounded
by people dressed in dark clothing, at

49
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:32.919
least six or seven people. That
was only the people that I see.

50
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:37.039
Who knows that there was even more
out there? And the one guy got

51
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.599
close. As the one guy got
closer, I realized something he along with

52
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:45.759
the rest, were wearing all these
creepy masks. The man stopped approaching me

53
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.080
as I started stepping backwards. They
all stood in silence for a moment.

54
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.479
I cannot explain the fear that I
was experiencing. I thought I was about

55
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.680
to get killed. They all started
chanting something at this point in time.

56
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:01.400
I couldn't understand it. It sounded
like a different language, but the chance,

57
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.639
the chance, almost sounded like a
song. I started wondering if they

58
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:09.520
were about to perform some sort of
sick ritual on me. That was when

59
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:13.560
I took the opportunity to run away
as fast as I could. Down a

60
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:15.959
few more rows of corn. When
I was out of breath, I stopped

61
00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:20.920
and fired about six rounds in their
direction. I heard a bunch of footsteps

62
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:25.720
and rustles and the crops going in
the opposite direction. I finally scared them

63
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:31.560
off. I ran back towards the
direction of the farmhouse, I stopped as

64
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.560
I saw something on the ground.
What I saw has stuck with me and

65
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:41.759
scared me till this day. There
was a cow head sitting in the top

66
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:46.560
excuse me, sitting in the middle
of circles of candles. I wanted to

67
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.040
puke. As I soon got back
to the farmhouse. I did then puke.

68
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:54.480
I grabbed the house phone and called
the police. I told the operator

69
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.720
everything to the best of my ability. She said an officer would be there.

70
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.120
Soon after I got off the phone
with the police, I started calling

71
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.600
my parents, explaining the situation and
asked them to come pick me up,

72
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:08.120
and my dad said he'd be there
in one hour, that's how far away

73
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.959
they lived. I sat upstairs at
my grandparents' room, shaking and crying at

74
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.399
the same time, waiting for what
it felt like an eternity, until I

75
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:19.160
finally heard a police car outside.
I ran outside in that to the officer

76
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:24.160
and never felt happier in my life. I told them everything. He searched

77
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:28.240
the barn, then a little bit
around the cornfield he found the cow head

78
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.639
and called up a search and rescue
team. After this and now an active

79
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:34.920
crime scene, This was not actual
crime scene. When my parents arrived,

80
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:40.360
I, along with the first officer, had to talk with them about everything

81
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:44.240
that had happened. Thankfully, my
parents took me home after that. My

82
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:47.680
grandparents took this very serious and of
course installed high tech security cameras all around

83
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.879
the farm. Who knows what kind
of group this was, but clearly they

84
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:56.800
were doing some kind of animal sacrifice
ritual or something. I just happy to

85
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.639
be the unlucky one home alone on
a farm they chose to do it at.

86
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.439
Yeah, I don't know. I
mean, that's that's wild, because

87
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:15.560
uh, this isn't the only uh
animal sacrifice story I've heard recently, And

88
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.199
yeah, I don't know, like, like what what could heell? Someone

89
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:25.120
say something like that, what is
the what is the what is the gain

90
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.519
that they're going to get from it? Is that? I can't process it.

91
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:34.399
I don't know. But when I
read this, I really I was

92
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:38.199
just trying to put myself in his
shoes, being young, and like,

93
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:43.199
you're in charge, You're being paid
for this, to do this job for

94
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.560
your grandparents, You're looking over your
family's farm. I can only imagine how

95
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:55.399
terrifying this was. Yeah, that
that's pretty crazy, And I actually was

96
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:59.720
trying to picture in my head a
high pitched cow sound like. I haven't

97
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:05.680
been aroun of cows personally so very
much anyways, but I think that was

98
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:11.360
very let the cowship. But I
don't remember here in a screen, but

99
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.560
I can almost picture what they're talking
about, like yeah, and it's like

100
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:21.920
yeah, yeah. What I do
know is though I'm not a cow expert,

101
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:28.000
but I can only imagine when they're
all going getting stirred up at once,

102
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.319
all those sounds going on for all
the cows at the same time,

103
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.560
that has to be freaking terrifying.
So like this, I gotta say,

104
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:36.680
kid, I don't say how old
he was. I don't remember. I'm

105
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:43.600
sorry, Alex. Did college parents
come get up? So he's probably teenager.

106
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.639
Yeah, he felt as if though
he had to protect the place.

107
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:58.839
Yeah, I don't know if when
I went outside, if I realized there

108
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:03.920
was a cow missing and I heard
noise from the cornfield, that I would

109
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:05.399
have an enybody to go run into
the cornfield. It seems like a very

110
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.040
risky thing to do, right,
kind of vulnerable running into a cornfield.

111
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:15.240
Yeah, of course, if I'm
trying to put myself in the mind of

112
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:20.720
like teenage Jack and you know that
that kind of like, well, I've

113
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.360
got I've got to do this,
this is my job kind of thing.

114
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.879
Maybe maybe I would go out there
to like threaten someone and be like get

115
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:35.360
out of here, especially with a
gun. But yeah, you're surrounded,

116
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.799
but you'd never I guess I can
almost see it because you wouldn't expect there

117
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:41.279
to be multiple people out there,
right. You probably just think this is

118
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:46.320
some jackass, and really it's it's
beyond messing around with like you personally,

119
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.919
it's like your family's business. I
mean, I can see, oh,

120
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.360
you have a farm having that mindset, but you wouldn't run out there thinking

121
00:08:54.360 --> 00:09:01.320
there's a group of people right alter
something. So I don't know if I

122
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:07.240
would have immediately assumed that the cow
was dead, you know, if they

123
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:13.159
just pulled it out of the barn
and just set it loose or something like

124
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:16.480
that, I don't know. But
when he sees the when he comes back,

125
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:22.159
and they were clearly using the cow
for some sort of I don't know,

126
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:26.960
either just to either mess with them, which is really messed up,

127
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:33.320
or if they were trying to do
some real witchcraft or something like that and

128
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:39.320
candles around it. That's kind of
yeah, Yeah, I would have.

129
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:41.279
I would done the same thing.
I definitely would have gone straight to the

130
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:45.759
house, locked the door, called
the cops for sure.
