This is What Happens When You Step on the Stairs in the Woods scary story part 5

WEBVTT

1
00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:07.799
Jesus, are you ready to pull
this back up? Luke? They just

2
00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:12.480
found the real plate here and the
mimics vanished off into the woods, evaporated,

3
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:16.519
I think is what was said.
Yep. So we immediately start putting

4
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:21.039
all of our attention towards Kristen.
A hell around her, and the ranger's

5
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:26.640
giving her water. We're so relieved
why she starts slowly regaining consciousness. It

6
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:30.480
takes about full minute for her to
start making sounds of her eyes starting to

7
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:35.240
open. When she looks coherent enough, the ranger asks if she's okay,

8
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:39.679
and she just says, what took
you guys so long? It's been days.

9
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.640
The ranger follows up and asks her
if she remembers anything. She barely

10
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:49.520
gets out it told me you'd come, told me i'd be safe by the

11
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:54.840
stairs. I didn't realize why that
rubbed me the wrong way until Sam whispered

12
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:59.079
to me, that's exactly what the
mimic said when we first found it.

13
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:06.319
This realization to me was absolutely world
shattering, because I realized that we didn't

14
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:10.200
win. It's like the mimic knew
we were going to find her like this,

15
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:15.439
and it's mocking us from the beginning. Then even more questions started flooding

16
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.760
my mind did not want to get
out of the park. What's this motive

17
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:25.079
just to get us back to the
stairs. Why this thing looks so deviously

18
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:30.519
satisfied. We're tending to Christen while
I'm internally turning these questions over into my

19
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:36.879
head. She severely just dehydrated and
starving, so I really don't have time

20
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:42.400
to think. We just have her
slowly rehydrating from the ranger's canteen and nimbling

21
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:47.840
on protein bars from Sam's pack.
I want to leave so bad, but

22
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:51.519
we have to wait till she's strong
enough to walk herself for us. Is

23
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:55.239
way too dense for us the carrier, so we just assisted her about thirty

24
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:59.120
one feet away from the stairs because
it doesn't feel right just hanging out right

25
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.159
next to them. We have to
wait there for about a half hour.

26
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.719
The part of me is very curious
to see at the stairs disappear or transform

27
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:13.159
in any way. We don't start
questioning it Kristen immediately because we want her

28
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.840
to just focus on getting better.
We all just focused on being as gentle

29
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:23.439
and consoling as we possibly can.
I could tell we all don't want her

30
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:27.560
to see how shaken up we are
because we just wanted to feel safe.

31
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.400
Once she seems calm and content enough, we all kind of huddle up start

32
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:36.400
a game plan. Our phones are
working out, and even though the data

33
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.280
is kind of spotty, we could
see that we're only a mile away from

34
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:44.039
the camp. Once I let them
know how close we are, I could

35
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:47.800
see it in our face that we
had the exact same experience, because they're

36
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:52.280
as a surprise as I am.
Because I felt like whatever the moment did

37
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:57.919
to us went on for hours before
we could start talking and get into detail

38
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.560
about any of our experiences. Kristen
speaks up, of course, she asks

39
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:06.479
to see if Nick is safe and
okay. At this point, she's standing

40
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.879
up and seems okay to start walking, so we walk over to her and

41
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:15.120
ensure that Nick is safe with his
father. We calmly explained to her that

42
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:19.000
we didn't feel safe having Nick in
the campsite what we were looking for just

43
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:23.919
in case he tried to run off
and look for her himself. She had

44
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:27.840
a little bit of a shame in
her face. She nodded and accepted it

45
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:34.159
as a pretty reasonable explanation. The
ranger asks if she's okay to start walking

46
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.479
back to camp, and she nodded
obediently, so we got all of our

47
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:43.800
stuff and start walking. We're about
twenty feet before the most futrid rotten smell

48
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:47.439
hits my nose. I know we
all smell it at once based on everybody's

49
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:52.879
body language, and immediately whip my
head around see if the sorcerers the stairs,

50
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.879
and of course the stairs are nowhere
to be found, and the ranger

51
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:01.280
looks as lest that says we need
to leave right now. We all feel

52
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:06.400
guilty rushing Kristen, and after all
she's been through, but it's clear that

53
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:11.400
Ranger feels like we leave the area
with a sense of urgency. So we

54
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.400
really start picking up the pace.
But it feels like the smell is falling.

55
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:20.000
It smells like a mix of sour
sewage rotten meaning sulfur. After five

56
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:25.319
straight minutes of it not losing any
intensity, I asked, what does that

57
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.480
smell? Sam replies quietly, because
I don't think he wants Kristin to hear.

58
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.560
It's a carcass, he says with
certainty that I know is from experience.

59
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:41.160
I wisher back one of their carcasses. Ranger cuts me off and says

60
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.480
it's carcass. But he says in
a way that Kristen wouldn't be able to

61
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.519
tell what he actually meant. But
me and Sam knew what he was implying,

62
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:54.319
and the look on his face was
also implying we should be quiet.

63
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:59.480
Finished our whispering conversation by saying,
if you see antlers, keep your head

64
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:03.480
down walking. I no, I
can't reply verbally, but internally, I

65
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:09.279
was cynically joking to myself. Great, I don't just worry about magical stairs

66
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:13.920
in the faceless mimic, but now
I have to worry about territorial stinky elk.

67
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:18.319
Now momentarily forgot that the most dangerous
thing here is still mother nature and

68
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.480
the last thing when he needs to
be rushed by a six hundred pound elk.

69
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:28.079
We get through most of the hike
back with zero complications, but we

70
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.879
could see the start of the edge
of the campsite through the trees. We're

71
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:34.199
all about one hundred yards away from
the finish line when we hear an elk

72
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:40.160
scream from behind us. You've never
heard an elk scream. It's horrifying and

73
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:44.920
borderline human like. I encourage you
to look it up on YouTube. We

74
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.639
start to pick up speed a little
bit until we're twenty feet away from the

75
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:53.959
campsite. Elk let's out a second
scream, but the tone changes a little

76
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:58.279
bit. Half second into the scream, it sounds like a young boy screaming

77
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:05.079
mom send. Panicky whips her heads
around towards Ranger and says, that was

78
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:10.560
nick. I thought you said my
son was safe. Ranger grabs her both

79
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.720
both so shoulders, not in an
aggressive voice, but a way that he's

80
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:19.920
about to say she needs to listen. I promise you that was not your

81
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:24.160
son. Right now, we just
need to get you to the lodge,

82
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:29.000
and the second we get there will
call him, I promise, okay.

83
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.160
And then to break the tension a
little bit, he said with a smile,

84
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.360
I just found you. Please don't
go running off of the woods again.

85
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:42.199
This comforted Kristen enough forget her through
the trees. When we get out

86
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.879
of the woods, it felt like
I could finally breathe again. We were

87
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.800
only in there for about three hours, but with everything that happened, I

88
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:55.839
couldn't believe that it was just past
nude. The campsite was still empty,

89
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:59.319
but we needed to get Kristen into
a vehicle and headed to the lodge before

90
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.240
anybody came back. Because it raised
a lot of questions with other campers,

91
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:06.120
why is she still here? There's
common knowledge that she was gonna leave that

92
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:11.800
morning. We could tell she's peeking
towards the campsite looking for her belongings.

93
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.040
But the ranger gets ahead of it
and he says, don't worry. Your

94
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:18.199
stuff left when Nick did. It
was a great quick thinking by the rangers.

95
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.319
So now let's get you home.
And the ranger said, in my

96
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:25.519
head, I'd consider in asking her
what she remembers. But during the two

97
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.639
minute walk to the vehicle, I
can tell that she's fully under the impression

98
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:30.839
that she had a couple too many
and got herself lost in the woods.

99
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:35.759
I can see the embarrassment building on
her face. Our current situation, that's

100
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:40.759
kind of ideal because we just need
to get her at it here as soon

101
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:45.120
as possible. She climbs into the
vehicle, but before she but before they

102
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.839
drive off, the park ranger Walkie
talking's the camp guides. He alerts them

103
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:53.639
to bring the campers back to the
camp site because there's an aggressive elk in

104
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:57.639
the area and he doesn't want them
walking back after dark, where they can't

105
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:01.319
see one coming, and on the
other the camp guide, one of the

106
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:05.639
other camp guys, replies, don't
worry, we're already on our way back

107
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.920
because an aggressive, quick full cold
front has moved through and nobody's dressed for

108
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:15.000
it. I don't know what it
was about the camp guide saying that,

109
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.079
but it put a sense of urgency
into the ranger as he starts to walk

110
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:22.600
away to the vehicle, but it
shouts back to us before he gets in.

111
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.360
Boys, I'll get back as soon
as I can. Stay away from

112
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:30.279
the tree line, and if you
smell it, hide. We nervously watch

113
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:35.200
him drive off. It's only noon
and I'm absolutely exhausted. I catch myself

114
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:41.519
just thinking about the devious look on
the mimixed face before it disappeared and evaporated

115
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:43.559
into nothing into the forest. It
reminds me to check on my friend.

116
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.960
This is the first time Sam and
I have been able to have a minute

117
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.279
to talk since everything that's gone down, So I just opened up the conversation

118
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.720
with should we leave, and Sam
goes, we can't. If it was

119
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.000
just you that touched the stairs,
i'd say let's go, but I cannot

120
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:03.799
leave knowing that I might just made
everything worse when I stepped on the steps.

121
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.440
Well, I was not surprised with
that answer at all, because that's

122
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.080
exactly what I was thinking earlier when
everything happened to me. I tried to

123
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:18.679
comfort him a little bit more.
I even asked the question, because hey,

124
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.759
it's the first thing that came to
my mind. Pretty crazy, how

125
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:28.000
we were in that time loop back
there. Don't really understand that. Sam

126
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.159
looks at me funny, and he
says time loop. Mine wasn't like that

127
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:35.320
at all. Mine felt like sleep
paralysis. I saw everything happening. I

128
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:37.879
saw you losing it. I saw
the ranger voluntarily switched spots with her,

129
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.879
and I was trying to scream but
nothing would come out. And then she

130
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:48.080
started talking to me, but not
out loud. She was talking to me

131
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.080
in my head. She just kept
telling me that it was my turn to

132
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:56.480
go out the steps and that we
should really stop fighting it and there was

133
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:58.720
nothing that we could do. And
she just kept asking me, do I

134
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.200
know what the crows mean? And
then I asked him, I asked,

135
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.159
Sam, did she tell you what
they meant? Like? What does she

136
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:09.879
mean by that? Because I haven't
been able to stop thinking about it this

137
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:11.960
whole time, and Sam says,
no, she just kept tawning me with

138
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.480
the question about the crows. But
she did say that we'll know what they

139
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.159
mean when we get back to the
camp. That was basically our cue to

140
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:24.200
start walking back to the camp because
we're both looking for answers. I kept

141
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:28.919
the dialogue going and I asked him, if our experiences were so different,

142
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:33.120
what do we think happened to the
ranger. He jokingly replied, I'm sure

143
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.159
it was something unique and horrible,
but I'm more interested to see what he

144
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.399
knows about the source of that smell. We walked quietly for a second,

145
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.080
straight ahead towards the logs to sit
down. We could see from a distance

146
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.279
the crows were still perched exactly where
they were, and we just set on

147
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.159
the log straight across from them.
It's funny, because we were so tired,

148
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.320
we didn't even have enough energy to
be scared of the crows at this

149
00:10:54.360 --> 00:11:00.320
point in time. We were just
sitting having a standoff with these things staring

150
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:05.399
at us, and we're staring at
them. And then one all the way

151
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:07.840
to the left, the crew all
the way to the left just squawks out

152
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:13.159
of nowhere and just flies off.
We just look at each other and nod.

153
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.639
It turns out the mimic was right. We knew exactly what they meant,

154
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.080
the crows meant. Sam just casually
says one down, two to go,

155
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.639
and then he follows up and kind
of shamefully asked me, did I

156
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.320
do what you did? He was
implying, you know, did he have

157
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.440
a seizure as well? I said
no, It just seemed like you were

158
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.039
really trying hard to get at the
top of those stairs, rushing as fast

159
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.120
as you as fast as you could, but I stopped before you could get

160
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.080
I stopped you before you could get
there. He says, did you feel

161
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:45.240
that vibrations? And I said,
yeah, same thing happened, and you,

162
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:46.960
you know, same thing happened with
him a step on them. He

163
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.039
asked me, do you think there's
a correlation between how many steps you go

164
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.919
up in the severity of the consequences? I replied, I really hope not.

165
00:11:54.679 --> 00:12:00.440
And then right then we hear laughing
and talking approaching us. It's the

166
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:05.000
group of campers coming back from fishing. Luckily, the chatter sounds very nice

167
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:07.799
and pleasant, so that gives us
a little bit of relief because we know

168
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.879
nothing bad happened to that while they
were out. Me and Sam do are

169
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:16.159
best to keep everything out of control, obviously, so nobody else knew.

170
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.679
We didn't want them in to show
uncomfortable. Everybody else is unloading all their

171
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.399
gear and gathering around them for lunch. Once everybody's settled in, one of

172
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:28.200
the camp guides starts going around and
he's doing a head count, and he

173
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:33.799
shouts, were one short. Everybody
look around, who's missing? Everybody looks

174
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:37.320
around for the immediate family or friends
or loved ones. And then two guys

175
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.159
speak up playfully. They're both in
their early thirties, like real outdoor looking

176
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:46.159
types. They said, don't worry, guys, that's just our buddy Pete.

177
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:48.679
Sam and I looked at each other
in fear and couldn't help but assume

178
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.559
that this was a result of the
stairs in the woods being stepped on again.

179
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:58.639
To be continued. Oh, man, I wish I gotta know what

180
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:03.279
happens next. Yeah, there's another
apart. Man, Well did dive into

181
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.240
that later? I mean, wow, Hell, what a cool story though.

182
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:09.480
Yeah. So when I said this
over to you guys, I sent

183
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:13.519
it over in batches, like I'm
gonna read this part, Jack, You're

184
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:15.679
gonna read this part. You're gonna
read this part. Did you guys read

185
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.240
the whole story? Though I read, I was going to read it all,

186
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:20.919
but then I thought to myself that
I kind of I was I kind

187
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:26.399
of wanted to experience it live,
and so I was like, you know,

188
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:30.360
I'm kind of spoil it for myself. So I ended up not reading

189
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:35.480
the whole thing in one setting that
was also my kind of feeling, and

190
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.960
I was like, you know,
I could get into my portion and I

191
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.320
can experience that. But then I
was like, I want to hear the

192
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:50.159
experience of hearing the story from you
guys when you do your guys' portions,

193
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:52.039
and that way I can can I
get a feeling of how our listeners might

194
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.840
feel as well. So I was
just like in this mindset, like you

195
00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:58.759
know what, I could read this
whole thing, bash it out real fast,

196
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:01.919
and go from there. But then
I was like, man, I

197
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.000
just I wanted to see what was
like being on the other side of this

198
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:09.720
listening to it being read off by
people, and so I was like excited

199
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.559
to hear how you guys did your
takes because I knew how I was gonna

200
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:15.679
do mine, and so I was
like, you know, I want to

201
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:20.879
hear how you guys do. And
so I really enjoyed experiencing it with everybody

202
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.039
else except for the parts that were
I had edited into mine. I knew

203
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:26.440
it was gonna be a little bit
different because the last couple of weeks we've

204
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:31.759
just been sharing a story boom table
talk right afterwards. But I was curious,

205
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.000
WOULDY actually read the whole thing?
Like obviously I had. I mean,

206
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:37.679
I was so into this I did, so I was kind of looking

207
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:41.159
for your reactions as we went along. I don't how did you guys feel

208
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:43.240
about We'll get back to the story
in a second. How did you feel

209
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.360
about the change and pace this week? Obviously it's not something I think we

210
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:50.159
could do every week, but so
I really enjoyed it. It really felt

211
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:54.000
like we were kind of like weaving
the story together while we're reading it.

212
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:56.279
Yeah, I felt like we were
in school, like taking her in to

213
00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:01.279
reading. Well, we were actually
paying right. Yeah. I was gonna

214
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.840
say a slightly more ancient form that
it would be like a Viking Scalds would

215
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:13.320
take turns telling a ghost story.
And since this is a very druidic story,

216
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.759
as it is with the mimics and
the crows, which kind of reminds

217
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:20.159
me of Odin's Ravens in a way. I was thinking more like that,

218
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.639
but similar, that's exact same thing. I was thinking, Look, that's

219
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.320
exactly thing. Yeah, that's what
Pilgrims and the vikings and all that stuff.

220
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:31.399
What do you guys think about this
story? Though? It was so

221
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:33.960
last week we talked about the Stairs
in the woods, and then I was

222
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.080
able to find this. I really
love this. I always enjoy stories involved

223
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:43.720
going into the woods. I've always
liked going into the woods as a kid,

224
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:48.240
not at night. That was That's
where I drew the line. Not

225
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.440
searchingly for missing people, no,
no, but I would you know,

226
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:54.600
go on trails, go on hikes
and things like that, and you just

227
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.679
stare off out there and you're just
like, what kind of things are going

228
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:00.519
on out here? When when no
one's watching, you know, it's just

229
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:06.799
the animals and just stuff like that. So I've always enjoyed woods and wood

230
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:11.759
based stories. I guess I'm always
been a big fan of preachers too,

231
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:17.759
Like, you know, things that
someone might have conjured in some past life,

232
00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:22.080
some sort of weird thing that shouldn't
be here, and so like this

233
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:27.600
idea of something coming into our world
or being attracted to someone because they interact

234
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:33.440
with something from their world. That
kind of uh story always is like the

235
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.039
perfect type of like story for me. Like, you know, it gives

236
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:40.720
you a little bit of a chill, but it's also like, you know,

237
00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:45.080
it kind of harkens back to old
and religions and stuff about you know,

238
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.320
their you know, ritualistic offerings or
something, you know, just some

239
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:52.120
sort of dark creature in the woods. So I've always liked stories like that

240
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:56.279
in general. So this has been
absolutely awesome to listen to and to talk

241
00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:02.240
about. I thought this was like
a good follow up to what Jack teased

242
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:04.480
last week. Then yeah, you
know what happened when you touch the stairs

243
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:07.119
in the woods. This story is
a little bit everywhere. I got a

244
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:12.000
lot of controversy around it. I
will say one thing, it's a great

245
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:15.960
story. I mean, wow,
how creative? Is there another part to

246
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:19.000
this? Like this, I cut
it off because I knew I knew it

247
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:22.720
would be it would be past our
time. Well I definitely want to rest.

248
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.759
Yeah, oh yeah, there's more. I uh, there's basically a

249
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.160
second half. There's about the same
amount left again length. Yeah, I

250
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:34.960
would like to like to revisit for
sure, and and uh get the ending

251
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:40.519
and get get the final bits of
the story. Yeah yeah, so I

252
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:41.480
don't know, that's what happens when
you step on the stairs in the woods,

253
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:44.039
So yeah, don't do it.
