WEBVTT
1
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:08.720
I'll jump back in here, all righty. We drove her
2
00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:10.919
to a cheap motel in town and checked her in.
3
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.439
Her mental state already seemed to have improved in that
4
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:17.120
short amount of time being away from that house. She
5
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:19.719
smiled and told us she couldn't wait to finally get
6
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:21.839
a night, a decent night of sleep, without having to
7
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:25.120
worry about that thing banging on the doors. I think
8
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.000
mostly she was just glad she wouldn't have to be
9
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:31.359
afraid anymore the entity she was convinced was lurking in
10
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.640
her house. We both smiled at her and said goodbye,
11
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:38.439
getting in the cruiser and driving away. Our smiles faded
12
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.359
as soon as we pulled away from the motel. We
13
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:45.840
both drove in grim silence. We both liked old miss Garrity,
14
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:48.359
in spite of all the time she had made herself
15
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.039
a nuisance to the police department with her bogus calls
16
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:54.960
and her ratic behavior. We were sorry her mental state
17
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.719
had deteriorated to such a point where she could no
18
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:01.520
longer look after herself. We told the chief her story
19
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.760
when we got back. He sighed sadly and nodded, agreeing
20
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:09.159
that she had to be committed somewhere tomorrow, him and
21
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:12.000
me were going to drive out there personally visit her
22
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.480
son and daughter and explain to them what was going on,
23
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:16.879
and as they still refused to do what needed to
24
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:21.000
be done, the Chief would see to it himself that
25
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:23.599
Miss Garretty would get the help that she needed. But
26
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.799
we never got the chance. The last time we ever
27
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:28.959
saw Miss Garritty was when Jerry and I left her
28
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.239
at the motel around four in the morning. The next morning,
29
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.159
I was awakened by an urgent phone call from the
30
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.079
Chief telling me to get over to the motel as
31
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:40.120
soon as possible. He wouldn't say why over the phone,
32
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:42.400
but I already had a hunch had something to do
33
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.799
with missus Garritty. I felt an awful sense of dread
34
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:48.519
as I got dressed. I wondered if maybe she had
35
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.120
taken her own life in the motel room after we
36
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:54.280
had left her. When I arrived outside the motel, my
37
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:57.599
fears were confirmed when I saw crime scene tape blocking
38
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.799
the door to Miss Garretty's room. The Chief, along with Jerry, Pete,
39
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.799
and Vance, were gathered outside, along with a couple cops
40
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.239
from the State Police and a pair of detectives from
41
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.840
the city. The Chief greeted me with a grave expression.
42
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:14.000
As I approached him, he told me Missus Garritty was gone.
43
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.240
At first I thought he meant she was dead. Then,
44
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.039
seeing the solemn look in his eyes, he clarified himself
45
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.919
she was literally gone. I looked at him, confused. I
46
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.280
saw something in his eyes that I had never seen before,
47
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.439
something that caused a ripple of fear in my heart.
48
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.199
The Chief was scared, he told me he didn't know
49
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:37.479
what to make of it himself. People in the neighboring
50
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:41.639
rooms had heard blood curling screams and sounds of violence
51
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.560
coming from Missus Garretty's room around two in the morning,
52
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:49.960
then nothing silence. They had called the police department. Pete
53
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:51.960
in Vance had been the first to arrive, since they
54
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.639
were on the night shift. They had pounded on the door,
55
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:58.400
but there had been no response. They had to force
56
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.759
the door open. When they saw what was inside. They
57
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.000
called the chief himself. What did they find? I asked,
58
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:07.719
Maybe you ought to come see for yourself, he told me.
59
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:11.000
Leading to the doorway and under the crime scene tape,
60
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.120
he explained to me that they had found no sign
61
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.960
of forced entry, and that the door and windows of
62
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.000
the motel room had had all still been locked from
63
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.240
the inside. When Pete Advance showed up, I took a
64
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.919
look around, feeling a shiver run through my body. There
65
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.360
was fresh blood splattered around the room, on the walls,
66
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:34.120
the floor, the bed, even the ceiling. The blood stained
67
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.599
bed sheets had been ripped away from the mattress, as
68
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.719
if somebody had desperately tried holding onto them as they
69
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:42.560
were pulled off of the bed. There were ten very
70
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.479
thin trails of blood on the carpet leading away from
71
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.680
the bed, ten thin trails of blood that had been
72
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.400
made by ten terrified fingers, clawing as if they were
73
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:56.080
being dragged away. I followed the bloody finger marks across
74
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.719
the floor, away from the bed to where they led
75
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:02.479
where they ended at the closet. I looked at them
76
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.159
that I looked at the chief. He looked back at me,
77
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.479
his face hard and impassive, but I could see fear
78
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:10.759
in his eyes. I approached the closet. The door was
79
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.439
standing open. I stood there looking in for some time.
80
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:19.399
The closet was empty, completely empty. There wasn't even blood
81
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.759
on the floor. They never found Missus Garretty.
82
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:28.839
Such a Nightmary, looking the scene that's been described here.
83
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.000
It's just changed so much from when we just had
84
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.720
that recap. It was a positive thing. They were going
85
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:36.399
to get her help. They were going to talk to
86
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:38.759
her family the next day, and if the family wasn't
87
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:40.000
gonna help, they were still going to make.
88
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:40.680
Sure she got help.
89
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:46.160
Basically, Yeah, and everything seemed I don't want to say
90
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.319
good because I think they were really sad about the situation.
91
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.759
But for missus Garretty herself, it seemed like she was
92
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:53.399
going to get help.
93
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.879
It was like a bitter sweet thing. Right. They didn't
94
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.439
want to have to do it, but if they were
95
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:02.319
to do it because that's what she needed.
96
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:04.399
Yeah, that's not an easy thing to do to, like
97
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:06.920
this person can no longer live at their house take
98
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:09.120
care of themselves. It's a pretty sad thing when you
99
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:13.360
really think about it. But she's relieved though. They like,
100
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.360
like we said last time they leave her at the
101
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.639
motel room, it seems to be everything seems to be okay.
102
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.199
She seems to be looking up, they said, instantly, her
103
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:26.360
aura her, she just seemed to be in a way
104
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:27.360
better place.
105
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:32.800
Yeah, and then this nightmarish outcome.
106
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:35.639
He's awolcome by a phone call at night saying he
107
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:37.600
needs to get to the motel as soon as possible.
108
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.720
He thinks the worst, Right, she's dead, she's taking her life.
109
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:43.000
Something the terrible has happened to her. Can you imagine
110
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:43.879
that drive over there.
111
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:46.680
Yeah, I was thinking about that. That would be like
112
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:52.240
a very dark and like a terrible time in your
113
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.800
own head driving over there to this because you're like, yeah,
114
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:58.399
you just saw this person. You're trying to get her help.
115
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.120
And then it's like or she either she died of
116
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:06.720
you know, a parent suicide, or she could have been
117
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.079
natural causes. You know, she could have had a heart attack.
118
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.680
But to think that you just saw her not that long.
119
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:14.879
Ago, and that drive over there, you're wondering what happened.
120
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.319
The whole time he gets there, he sees he sees
121
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:19.160
a lot of people there. He sees all his fellow
122
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:20.839
co workers. There's only a few of them, I guess
123
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.519
for the local police department. But he also sees state
124
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.959
police and a detective from a nearby, bigger city. So
125
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:28.879
you pull up, you see that, you think.
126
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.120
Oh shit, yeah, definitely seems like something else happened, or
127
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:35.639
you know, it's a little bit more involved. But you
128
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:39.399
wouldn't expect that, you would definitely never expect that.
129
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:43.240
Then he's told that they heard blood curling, screaming, and
130
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:47.519
like what sounded like an altercation, like a violent fight,
131
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:50.560
like something crazy was happening in her room. The neighboring
132
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:54.199
hotel rooms heard. Then it went completely silent.
133
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:58.879
What I find interesting is it even mentions it specifically
134
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.000
that when Pete in vance to the night shift guys
135
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:06.839
show up, the door is locked. Yeah, the doors and
136
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.680
windows are all locked, so they force themselves in. Yeah,
137
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.439
they break in to get in there and see what
138
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:14.240
was going on. And that the you know, the scene
139
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:19.600
of all that blood on everything everywhere, and then the
140
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:22.839
where her finger nails have been dragging across the floor
141
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:26.680
trying to stop herself from being dragged away. All that
142
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.120
blood there too. Horrific scene.
143
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.759
So let's talk about the doors and the windows real quick.
144
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:35.600
So you definitely can't go out a window then lock
145
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.160
it behind you at that I'm aware of how you know. Now,
146
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:40.480
I don't know if these hotel room doors are like
147
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:43.240
either a lot of the ones I've been to you
148
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:45.399
they lock on their own. You have a key card.
149
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.920
This sounds like an old motel though, actually have that
150
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.199
like dead bowl on the inside. So it makes you wonder,
151
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:54.199
like could you truly leave and lock it? But this
152
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:56.279
is an old room, you think, so it's got to
153
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:56.959
be confusing.
154
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:00.759
Nevertheless, Well, also the question of whether it had one
155
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.160
of those you know, they usually have the dead bolt,
156
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:06.040
but they also have like the half block too. Yeah,
157
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:09.720
was that locks as well? I don't know, uh, but yeah,
158
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:12.560
so like maybe the door cut relocked if it's an
159
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:14.319
older one, like you said, it has a key and
160
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:19.000
actual key, they don't relock, So that's a good question.
161
00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:22.040
This is a very small town, so I can't imagine
162
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:23.560
they have the most up to date doors.
163
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.759
This is where it gets weird. Like you said the
164
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.519
bed sheets had been ripped off the bed and the
165
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:31.879
blood and all that actually does not lead to the door,
166
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:37.519
indicating that she was dragged outside and taken away. Uh,
167
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.720
there's actually like finger marks on off of this bed
168
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:45.919
that lead clear across the floor to the closet, not
169
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.960
the door, like her window, like she was forced out
170
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:53.279
to leave to the closet and then then upon getting
171
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:55.639
into the closet nothing they stopped there.
172
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:00.879
Yeah, And that is like, you know, you look at that,
173
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:04.200
You're like, the body is gonna be in the closet, right, Yeah,
174
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:08.320
but we quickly find out that that's not the case,
175
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:11.759
and that was basically everything even more terrified in my opinion.
176
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:14.240
Yeah, but she's been so afraid of these damn closets
177
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:14.840
the whole time.
178
00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:18.440
Man, the holes eye. You have some sort of thing
179
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.679
that supposed to be in this closet that's been threatening
180
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.759
her for weeks now that it's gotten worse and worse
181
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:26.159
to the point that she actually shot at the closet
182
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.200
door at her house try to stop it. And then
183
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:33.440
it told her tonight. They told her tonight, and this
184
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:36.879
is that night. This happens in that room, and you
185
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:40.200
see what appears to the evidence of her being dragged
186
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:41.360
to the closet.
187
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:45.360
You always hear these things that like something demonic haunts
188
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:48.000
somebody or something. It's not just where they live, it's
189
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.879
like attached to them. That seems to be the case
190
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:53.519
for missus Garretty here it does seem to be.
191
00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:54.039
Yeah.
192
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.039
Of course she was never found again.
193
00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:59.840
Yet, and there was no blood or anything in that closet.
194
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.200
Tex She's dragged in the closet then just vanished. Yeah,
195
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:05.360
she's so afraid of those closets.
196
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:07.000
Too, the whole time, and that's gonna be what godters
197
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:10.440
thought she got away from it. Yeah, imagine being the
198
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:12.799
people next door hearing that.
199
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:15.919
That would be a very terrifying night. All you could
200
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:18.600
do is call the police and never go back to
201
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:22.720
that town again. Yeah, a small tower, nothing hardly happens.
202
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.919
Do you think this sticks with the people that were
203
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:27.799
involved forever? Oh yeah, this would be something that they'll
204
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:30.840
never get over and something that will affect them for
205
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:34.080
the rest of their lives, and will probably affect people
206
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:37.960
who weren't necessarily there but who have here about later.
207
00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:40.759
She's still missing. We don't know if she's dead. We
208
00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:43.679
could presume, I guess. Uh. Yeah, it's crazy how this
209
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:46.799
progressed over time, and you really think about it, it's
210
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.600
just a lady living on her house alone and all
211
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:52.519
this has just happened. I can't imagine how terrifying it was.
212
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:55.840
It's definitely as it goes, like I said, it goes
213
00:10:55.879 --> 00:11:00.519
from zero sixty like that. It's like craziest thing you'll
214
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:01.039
ever hear.
215
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:06.360
Absolutely. This guy actually years later posted yet another story,
216
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:08.799
so we will go back to that. He had something
217
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:12.000
else crazy he happened. So this is he saying crazy
218
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:13.320
thing that's happened. How long did he say?
219
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:15.919
He say twelve years, ten years. How long did he
220
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:16.519
be in this cop?
221
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:19.120
Twelve years. He had been a cop in this town
222
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:21.559
for twelve years. And this is really the case that
223
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.080
Haunts had that sticks out to him. The rest of
224
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:28.600
stuff is pretty typical, pretty normal. This is not normal though, man, No,
225
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:32.759
it's definitely not Previas the opposite. Years later, he has
226
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:35.039
something else too, and we'll share that one day. I'm
227
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:35.799
excited about that.
228
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:37.559
Yeah, that'd be awesome. I can't wait.
229
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:40.960
This is a story that leaves it on the ultimate cliffhanger.
230
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:46.639
Yeah, yeah, it does terrible, terrible cliffhanger and one that yeah,
231
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:55.120
gir will take whoever. It'll be solved. Jeff Townsend Media
232
00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:58.320
sees you good night. And the question is do I
233
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:03.000
stay here? Will back? Are you going to come back?
234
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:04.879
Will you be back?
235
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:06.879
Are you coming back?
