1
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:09.160
We're live all across social media for
another episode of your Scary Stories. We've

2
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:13.199
got people filing in. Somebody said
Luke is their favorite. Is he walking

3
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:18.199
his cat again? Tonight it was
a dog I walk the cab. We

00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:22.359
are going to be sharing, taking
turns, sharing score stories tonight Scary Stories.

5
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:24.600
Of course, last week we kind
of did like this format where we

6
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:28.800
had one long story and we all
took turns different parts of reading it.

7
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:34.000
Tonight, we're going to return back
to the normal format of just each sharing

8
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:36.640
a story. So yeah, if

13
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:55.320
had I don't know quite a bit
of people. I think Twitter is the

14
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:59.079
most, but that's just where I
personally the biggest following. But nevertheless,

15

we are live everywhere, so if
you're joining us, comment a log.

16
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.200
Wow, So where do I go

17
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.879
on the website this week. You
were getting up and going well. Guys.

18
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:14.280
Are our past episodes I believe on

19
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.480
there for different ways to contact us
and get in touch with us as well,

20
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:21.159
including our read in our discord.
We're up everywhere, guys, look

21
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:23.200
for your scary stories. I think
I'm going to tick it off. I

22
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.239
think that was a plan, right, I'm going to kick it off,

23
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:32.799
all right, fear thy roommate scary
story. In June of twenty nineteen,

24
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:37.560
an ad was posted on Craigswood Craig's
List for a room available for rent and

25
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:42.519
a single family home in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. The ad wasn't for a

26
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.159
whole house rental. Rather, the
man who posted the ad was looking to

27
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.439
be roommates with somebody, meaning they
would share the living space, including the

28
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.359
kitchen. That is what the ad
said. It said in further details,

29
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.519
thirty five year old male looking to
rent out so one of my empty bedrooms

30
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:00.719
and my four bedroom one family house. It's just me living here currently.

31
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:05.599
The other two rooms are currently being
used as storage, But depending on how

32
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.879
much space you need, I could
consider allowing you to use one extra spare

33
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:14.280
room with storage that then goes on
to list all the futures inside the house,

34
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:19.120
including maintenance. It even goes on
to note and all capitals that no

35
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:23.759
pets or no smokers were allowed,
which could lead some to believe the person

36
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:29.800
behind the listing is a clean person, halfway trusting person possibly definitely a plus

37
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.400
if you neither if you don't have
either one of those. A few days

38
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:36.719
after this ad was posted, a
regular twenty five year old named James came

39
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.280
across the listing, desperate for a
place of his own and to move out

40
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:43.560
of his parents' house. For nine
hundred dollars a month. He thought it

41
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.280
could be a good deal, depending
on the homeowner, of course. James

42
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.800
contacted the owner through the number provided
on the ad and they had a five

43
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.400
minute phone call and set up a
time and date for James to view the

44
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:58.919
house. On a Tuesday after work, James stopped by the house, which

45
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.319
was exactly how it looked in all
the photos. The order was waiting on

46
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:06.039
the front porch. He introduced himself
as Todd. He had to be at

47
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.560
least thirty five years old anyways.
Todd gave James a walk around the house,

48
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:14.759
like you would if you were viewing
any Aparliament Warhouse for the first time.

49
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.560
The house was a modest size,
nothing fancy or anything like that,

50
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.240
but clean for the price was very
spacious. James noted that there were no

51
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:25.960
wood floors. There was all carpon, even the living room and bedrooms.

52
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:32.280
After the showing, Todd discussed with
James the ground rules, which were mostly

53
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:36.639
normal most of them. The one
that stood out to James was the rule

54
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:42.439
of having a sleep time by twelve
o'clock midnight during the week. Since James

55
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.000
works full times, he didn't see
this as much of an inconvenience, just

56
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:52.159
rather unusual rule to have for grown
adults having a roommate, but he chalked

57
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:53.919
it up to Todd also working nine
to five and not wanting to be woken

58
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:58.319
up by noises late at night.
A week later, James moved in,

59
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.680
which given that the bedroom was already
furnished, it was an easy quick process.

60
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.800
Todd would be in the living room
most of the time watching TV,

61
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.840
or he was in the living room
most of the time watching TV or just

62
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:13.199
reading the paper. He didn't go
out much. He would try to talk

63
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:15.439
to James anytime he was in the
kitchen making food, which to be honest

64
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:20.000
got a little bit old pretty fast, according to James. He says he

65
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:24.040
wanted to be left alone and just
wanted to eat in peace, but never

66
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:29.439
had the luxury of doing that.
One work night, James woke up thirsty,

67
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:31.639
so he went to fill up a
cup of water down in the kitchen.

68
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.720
Once in the kitchen, he noticed
red stains on the carpet leading to

69
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.839
the basement. You know, the
basement door was in the kitchen, pretty

70
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.839
common. He quietly opened the basement
door and found the red stains led down

71
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.439
the carpeted stairs. Todd's voice came
from behind him in the kitchen, which

72
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.600
was let up by a small night
light. He saw Todd was sitting on

73
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.759
in the kitchen on one of the
kitchen chairs, and he said in a

74
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:58.439
raspy voice, to don't go down
there. Todd said the stains on the

75
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.600
carpet were wine stains. James didn't
ask any questions. He just filled up

76
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:06.120
his cup with water and went back
upstairs. From this moment onward, James

77
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:11.959
wasn't one hundred percent comfortable in the
house and was now suspicious of his landlord

78
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.839
slash roommate's behavior. One day,
after work, Todd was at home,

79
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.160
so James decided to take a look
at take a look in his bedroom,

80
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:24.120
his bedroom being todd bedroom his landlords. The door was locked, but it

81
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:28.040
was easily unlockable with his fingernail,
so that's what he did. Entering the

82
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:31.120
room. Once inside, James immediately
found two of his shirts and strangely,

83
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:36.279
his under armoured water bottle and a
basket of clothes. James took his three

84
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:41.959
belongings and left the room. When
he left the room, he locked the

85
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.199
door back with his fingernail. He
planned on taking a personal day from work

86
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:50.199
and evacuating the place early the next
day without mentioning anything to Todd. After

87
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:54.879
all, there was no leave or
security deposits, so he could leave pretty

88
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:58.480
easily. He did some packing that
night, and he had a hard time

89
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:02.000
sleeping because his mind was racing.
At some point, while he was lying

90
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:06.800
there awake trying to sleep, his
door creaked open. It was past midnight

91
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:13.000
when this happened. Since he was
lying on his back, he simply opened

92
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.120
his eyes to see Todd standing in
the doorway. The dim light from the

93
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:24.480
hallway night light was eliminating his face
and body in an unsettling way, possibly

94
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.040
not even aware that James was awake
or not. James wasn't sure if Todd

95
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.439
was aware, but Todd stepped into
the room slightly and said, I know

96
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:36.000
you went into my room. I
told you my room is off limits for

97
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:41.079
now on. Also, I don't
want you going into the basement. If

98
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:46.160
this happens again, there's going to
be a big problem. He then got

99
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.160
angry and slammed the door, and
James heard him stomping back down the hallway

100
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:54.040
to his room. He then slammed
the door as well to his room.

101
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:58.879
Once he got in there. James
said that Todd sounded drunk, and he

102
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.319
was saying this because he was slurring
his words and his voice was raspiard than

103
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:08.120
usual. James started packing up the
rest of his thanks first thing. The

104
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:12.639
next morning, he blocked Todd's phone
number and temporarily and moved back into his

105
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.000
parents' house. A couple of days
later, he received a voicemail from a

106
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:19.560
some random number that sounded all garbled. There's just a lot of breathing and

107
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:25.800
weird mouth sounds on other side of
the phone. James said he's confident that

108
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:30.160
the stains on the carpet weren't whine. They looked more like bloodstains. Whether

109
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:36.879
this Todd guy was hiding something or
not will remain a mystery. Yeah,

110
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:41.839
I think it was a good move
to get out of there. Run side

111
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:46.839
run. That sounded like a really
real story. Well, you've kind of

112
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:48.839
you know, you've dealt with if
you throughout life, you deal with like

113
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:53.480
really confrontational people, so you can
kind of get that feeling. What's going

114
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:58.120
on with this guy stepping in your
room and just kind of shouting or whatever,

115
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:00.360
saying, you know, dug in
my room. That was just it's

116
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:03.319
weird. But I think the creepy
part is he went in his room and

117
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.160
he found some of his stuff.
Yeah, like why does he have my

118
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:11.199
stuff in here? Like your water
bottle and some of your shirts, So

119
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:16.160
obviously he's going through your room.
Yeah, he keeps basically threatening you not

120
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.879
to go in his room. Then
he adds the basement to it after he

121
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:24.040
sees these red wine stains. According
to the landlord roommate, I think the

122
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:28.879
thing, the part of the story
that makes it seem so real is the

123
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.960
opening the door lock with the fire. Now, Oh yeah, my door

124
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.639
lock does that? Like I could
open it up with my fire now from

125
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.480
the outside on my bedroom door,
so like, you know, I don't

126
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:43.039
have a key to it, but
we lock it. Anyone could just go

127
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:48.399
up to click it with his finger
now and turn it over to the internet.

128
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.919
You see so many Craigslist stuff over
the years. Obviously Craigslist isn't relevant

129
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.279
really anymore, but so many horror
stories come from Craigslist. And this is

130
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.919
another one. You want to move
out. This guy wants to move out

131
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:01.159
his parent's house. He sees this
ad online, right, He's like,

132
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.279
hey, this is the perfect opportunity. Is cheap, the house is nice.

133
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:07.919
There were some weird rules though,
right, like bedtimes and stuff,

134
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.399
which isn't really typical. But I
guess if you want to go to your

135
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:13.600
parents house was bad enough, you've
gotta go along with it. I don't

136
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.120
know, yeah, And I guess
if you grew up with certain types of

137
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.279
parents, you might be like,
well, yeah, okay, this is

138
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.960
normal. I guess they've got to
have like really like a really strict structure

139
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.960
in a household or something. And
also Craigslist is just one of those things

140
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:30.840
where there was just so much you
know, anonymous, so anonymity involved with

141
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.840
it. So yeah, that was
only like any of vetting really that went

142
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:37.159
into posting any or doing anything on
the platform. Yeah, and it involved

143
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.799
a lot of meeting up in person
too. So yeah, there were a

144
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:45.919
lot of stories involving Craigslist. It
was a little suspicious. Put yourself in

145
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.879
the shoes of this person, Jack, how would you be feeling? Well,

146
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.480
I would probably also want to leave
right away if I saw my stuff

147
00:09:52.480 --> 00:10:07.600
in there. You know what,
I think you would probably do well.

148
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:15.080
I should have expected some kind of
set up here. Wow, I mean

149
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.120
that would be my reaction. I
mean, especially after if he took my

150
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.200
water bottle. Yeah, for sure, I don't think i'd take that back.

151
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.440
Honestly, I don't look the water
bottle anymore. Just to be completely

152
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.759
Oh, that's a good story,
Yeah, definitely I agree with to look

153
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.759
belie. Believable story. My definitely
a very believable story. Well, I

154
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:39.840
think we have Luke up next.
I mean, this is actually kind of

155
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:45.000
exciting because it's one of two stories
by the same user that I got for

156
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:48.360
this so later, Well, here
another one I'm kind of excited about too.

157
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:54.039
And so it starts off. I
work at County Jail. One night,

158
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.879
I was working in the maximum security
unit on the night shift. He

159
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:03.039
was pretty boring, with nothing really
to do except the checks, where I'd

160
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.480
go around and look at each cell
every thirty minutes or so make sure everything

161
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:11.399
was okay the inmates weren't doing anything
that weren't supposed to. It had been

162
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:15.399
about fifteen minutes or so since my
last check. I was sitting in the

163
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:20.279
control room reading a book that pass
the time. Control room sits higher than

164
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:24.679
four level. It looks out over
the cell block. If a person of

165
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.840
average height were to walk right by
you, you'd only see the top of

166
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.200
their head. As I'm reading my
book, I see out of my peripheral

167
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.519
top of a bald head walk past
the window. I knew that nobody else

168
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.879
was in the area, as another
officer would have to go through two sets

169
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:48.000
of remote controlled doors or no way
passed my control room. I looked up

170
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.279
and into the cell block. I
didn't see anyone. I didn't looked at

171
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.559
the camera monitors, which showed every
ankle of the cell block. Still nothing.

172
00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:00.200
I put my book down exit of
the control room, making sure to

173
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.559
lock the door behind me in case
an inmate got out of their cell.

174
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.039
They couldn't lock me out of the
control room it's uncommon, but it is

175
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:13.360
possible. I walked into the cell
block, shining my flashlight in some of

176
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.639
the more dimly little areas. I
took notice that I did not hear cell

177
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.879
door close, so if an inmate
did get out of the cell, they

178
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:24.639
either had to close their cell door
incredibly quietly or they were hiding somewhere.

179
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:31.960
I radioed for another officer to respond
to my locationist back up. I began

180
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:35.879
to conduct a check, make sure
that the account the inmates in each cell,

181
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.080
and pull on the door make sure
it was locked. When I reached

182
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.159
the upper tier, one of the
inmates was standing at the cell window and

183
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:45.600
asked what time it was. I
told him, he knows that I was

184
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.480
early on my check. He knows
that I had been checking the doors.

185
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.639
These guys have nothing to do but
to watch you do this. So the

186
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.519
inmate asked if I saw the ball
headed guy. He must have seen the

187
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:03.480
expression on my face, because he
said he was seen by somebody at least

188
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.360
once a night, usually passing quickly
by the cell windows, so they always

189
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.879
knew it was him because there's no
bald officers on the night shift. I

190
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:16.639
went back to the control room and
locked it behind me, I asked.

191
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.240
The officer responded as my backup about
the bald headed guy. He was a

192
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.320
very senior officer and said that he
had never personally seen him, but it

193
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:30.360
wasn't uncommon for people to report it. I never saw the baldheaded guy again.

194
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:35.039
Eventually I was promoted, and every
once in a while an officer or

195
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:39.840
inmate well asked me about him.
Prisons are scary, man, Yeah,

196
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:45.279
it's scary without ghosts. They're scary
without ghosts and other paranormal things. You

197
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.759
throw that in, it's just terrifying. Yeah, there's something about like certain

198
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:54.159
places you just immediately have something scary
about it. Yeah, hospitals for me

199
00:13:54.840 --> 00:14:00.240
and for his nurseries, everything to
do. But wait, that's true.

200
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.200
Going back to the story, and
obviously I'm multitasking people on social media,

201
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.480
but you got to assume that it's
a it's an inmate at first, right,

202
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.360
like he said he did. Yeah, and that would be a terrifying

203
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:15.200
thing because he's in the maximum security
unit. Yeah, these are dangerous people

204
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.080
and he wouldn't want to deal with
that on the night's shift or something.

205
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:22.360
So that alone is scary. Well, it does. It does make you

206
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:24.559
think that it's possible that it was
an inmate, because the inmate was the

207
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:28.399
one that was saying, hey,
did you see that? You know,

208
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.399
did you see the bald headed man
there? It does make it seem like

209
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.679
they're setting up something or I don't
know, you know, either way it

210
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:39.000
would be be a bit too much. I think the inmates messed with him

211
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:43.080
or see. I don't know,
because the other officer said that they had

212
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.679
heard about this before, and we
find out later it's an inmate escape from

213
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:52.080
a maximum security Yeah, I guess
wouldn't have known the bald thing obviously.

214
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:54.240
I mean, he interested scary story. So what made you like you said,

215
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:56.879
this is the story I want to
share today, Like there had to

216
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:00.279
be something that drew well, it
was mostly the prison thing, all,

217
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:03.840
you know. I read his this
story and then I found out he had

218
00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:07.960
another one, and I was like, two ghost stories from a prison from

219
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:11.879
the same guy. I wanted to
do him both because I thought, this

220
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:16.039
is great prison. Like you say, prison's in general just terrifying. And

221
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:20.120
so I don't know, something odd. It's not like a jump scare kind

222
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:26.399
of monster story. It's just like
something slightly off about already a tense situation

223
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:31.320
that makes the whole thing just feel
creepy and kind of terrifying to me.

224
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.120
I don't know where he was located
at it all here, I'm sure he

225
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:39.159
just kept anonymous. He did keep
the anonymous. He didn't listen to anyone's

226
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:43.639
names, just in case. You
know, you don't want certain people,

227
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.600
you don't have people's information getting out, So he didn't say where he was

228
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:48.679
from. Sure caught out us bald
people going bald. They didn't. He

229
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:52.000
man, My forehead goes all the
way back, all the way back,

230
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.639
just keeps going back. Wow,
delicious orange juice, you got there?

231
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:00.480
Yeah, it's orange juice. Just
yeah, just for the AI out there

232
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.440
on social media trying to get me
for doing something all alive, it is

233
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.480
orange juice. So everybody knows that's
the truth. So I had to do.

234
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.240
I have the next story. Es
to do? I had the next

235
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:11.960
story. Okay, yeah, because
Jack didn't do much this week. That's

236
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:15.720
fine though, I'm just kidding,
just kidding. It was cute music.

237
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:22.000
Back up do this. This is
called hacker. I'm twenty four years old

238
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:25.639
and I'm from a small town in
Nova Scotia, Canada. I keep my

239
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:30.120
social circle very small, just a
few friends and my co workers. Really.

240
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.080
I mentioned that as a point in
saying that I don't really know anyone

241
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:36.480
who would be out to get me
in any way. I browse read it

242
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:40.320
a lot in my free time,
and I'm an active poster. There was

243
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:44.000
this one night when I pulled up
Reddit on my browser out of boredom and

244
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:48.159
I had a new message, which
was not unusual because I'd have people message

245
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:52.200
me in reference to my post quite
often. It was a message request from

246
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:56.360
some random account, and oddly enough, it was a now deleted username.

247
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:00.600
The message said check your email.
Make sure sure you'd check your spam folder.

248
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:06.720
I replied back, huh, why
who is this? In the meantime,

249
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:08.839
I opened my Gmail and went to
my spam folder. There was one

250
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:14.519
email that stuck out from the rest
titled in all caps, I Know who

251
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:19.119
you are. I opened the email
and it was basically a paragraph full of

252
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:23.720
all my personal information, including my
full name, my Reddit password, my

253
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:27.720
home address, along with other threats. Basically, whoever said this email was

254
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:33.319
asking for a one time payment of
five thousand dollars through bitcoin to a specific

255
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:37.440
bitcoin wallet address. My heart was
in my throat at this point in time,

256
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:44.480
I had a terrible feeling of helplessness
and like the entire world was collapsing

257
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:48.160
in on me. The first thing
I did was cover my webcam with a

258
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:49.839
piece of tape. Secondly, I
went back to Reddit to see if the

259
00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:55.519
user had ever answered my message,
and they hadn't. I went to report

260
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:57.359
the account on Reddit as quickly as
I could, as if that would even

261
00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:02.400
do anything. I replied to the
email, copy and pasting the exact same

262
00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:06.920
message I'd sent the person and read
it on my Reddit account, asking who

263
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:10.160
is this, how they got my
information and if this was a prank.

264
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:12.880
I got an email back around five
minutes later, in an all caps saying

265
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:18.880
no, it's not a prank.
We have all your information, including where

266
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:21.880
you live, so your best course
of action is to do exactly what we

267
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.440
say and you'll never hear from us
again. Obviously, I was not going

268
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:29.559
to show out five thousand dollars.
I don't even make a lot of money

269
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:33.599
to begin with. I contacted all
my friends asking them if it was any

270
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:36.480
of them, begging them just to
come forward before I call the police.

271
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:41.200
None of them admitted to it.
So given that threatened to call the police,

272
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:44.160
I knew it was none of them. I tried to think of anyone

273
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:45.519
at work who might have an issue
with me, but I get along with

274
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:51.079
everyone at work. I chalked it
up to my password somehow being stolen by

275
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:55.160
a malware or a hacker, and
through that they somehow got the rest of

276
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:59.839
my information. The main question was
do I pay the money, and that

277
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.559
was absolutely not going to happen.
I forced myself to go to sleep.

278
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.480
I left my laptop off the whole
next day. I used my desktop instead.

279
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:11.000
After getting home from work. I
didn't sign into Reddit or anything,

280
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:15.839
though I did, however, change
my password on all the other websites and

281
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:19.319
apps. I finally signed into my
laptop late that night because I was just

282
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:25.240
so bored and curious, curious but
nervous to see if anything had changed and

283
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:30.039
if I had got any new emails. I signed on and everything on my

284
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.000
computer still looked normal. So I
went to Reddit and I saw the user

285
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:38.880
who messaged me was now deleted,
And then went to a subreddit which talked

286
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:44.680
about computer hackers and scams and such, and I posted my experience. At

287
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:48.359
some point, I noticed the task
bar at the bottom of my screen turned

288
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:53.839
darker. Curious, I minimized all
windows, and my desktop wallpaper was different.

289
00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:00.400
I knew right away what it was
because I recognized outside of my bedroom

290
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:03.519
window showing the white frame of outside
my window, and in the picture there

291
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:07.480
was a flash of the camera and
inside that It also caught me laying in

292
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:12.720
my bed sleeping. Some seconds later, a pop up window appeared along with

293
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:19.240
the normal windows air beep sound that
comes up when this happens, the message

294
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:27.759
dread pay with a winky face emoji
with it. I closed my laptop scream

295
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:33.039
and forced the computer off by holding
down the power button. I also pulled

296
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:36.720
my blinds down and called my parents. I told my dad over the phone

297
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:40.400
that some hacker got all my information, and he came over right away with

298
00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:42.680
his truck to help me load any
valuables I could think of into his truck

299
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:48.160
to stay with them for a while. Before we drove off off from my

300
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.079
apartment, my dad yelled out like
a madman into the night sky, basically

301
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:55.480
threatening whoever was hacking me. It
was definitely a scene, but I was

302
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:59.880
too preoccupied with worry to be embarrassed
by it. I saved with my parents

303
00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:03.960
for a few weeks and use my
mom's computer when needed, I blocked that

304
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:07.000
email address. This sent me the
original email. I finally got back to

305
00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:11.960
my apartment a few days ago.
I'm still very scared to hear a knock

306
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:15.200
at my window or get another threatening
email. I haven't brought it to the

307
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.039
police yet, as I'm hoping all
this was just a bluff to try to

308
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:25.119
get me to pay. Yeah,
so that's that's rough. You definitely want

309
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:29.359
to take cybersecurity very seriously because,
like, there's just a lot of crazy

310
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:33.920
people out there. I was actually
watching a video today on how easy it

311
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.000
is to get everybody's information. This
guy, you know, showed how you

312
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:41.480
just go to like a coffee shop, set up like a hundred dollars piece

313
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:45.079
of equipment, and every person who
logs in onto the Wi fi there,

314
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:49.119
you get their passwords, you get
their emails, and then from there you

315
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:55.359
can escalate and grab more stuff like
getting a secure shell onto their computer and

316
00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:59.960
start messing with stuff like changing the
wallpaper. Totally doable with a little time

317
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:03.079
a training that you can find completely
free on the internet. Yeah, but

318
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:06.079
they went to his house. Yeah
that's a bit much. But that's a

319
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:08.599
whole other level of I mean,
just yeah, like another thing about like

320
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:12.160
that kind of stuff is you definitely
do want to coach the police about that.

321
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:18.400
And there's really, yell, not
a whole lot you can do by

322
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:21.799
yourself, you know, in that
situation, And definitely a good idea to

323
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:26.720
get out of that area because they're
taking pictures of you. You're laying in

324
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:29.799
your bed sleeping. That in the
window, that's just you know, you

325
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:33.920
imagine seeing that, like you just
open up your your your wallpaper on your

326
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.480
desktop. Is you and your bed
sleeping. Clearly someone who knew where he

327
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:41.519
lived. And I would I would
say, you know, in addition to

328
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:45.079
like going to the police, you
know, I would say, definitely,

329
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:48.119
like you know, don't there's really
no reason to pay these people because they're

330
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:51.640
crazy. You know that they're doing
crazy things and you're not going to get

331
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:53.920
you're gonna give any kind of peace
from them. You think it was someone

332
00:22:53.960 --> 00:23:00.559
he knew. Possibly they could be
I take this out, son of a

333
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:07.960
bitch. What hits me, Austin? It was me. I think it's

334
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:15.000
possible something like that happened. So
I actually said, so awesome, I

335
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:18.039
do wonder. I mean it's possible. Like what he doesn't say, though,

336
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:21.720
is if he has like a computer
savvy friend, right, like that'd

337
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:26.359
be the first person you'd think of. But how far do you take it?

338
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:29.240
You know, I don't know.
I think the bitcoin thing for me

339
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:33.599
almost makes it seem more legitimate because
you do see so many of these bitcoin

340
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:40.119
scams happening. Yeah, it's such
an easy way to hide transactions of money.

341
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:45.680
There's a thing called like a crypto
funnel or crypto vortex, and you

342
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:49.519
basically you put bitcoin into it and
you pull different bitcoin out. Yeah,

343
00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:53.200
it's online, obviously, but this
is way of hiding where it's going.

344
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:57.640
Just totally launders some money in seconds. I personally haven't had this happen to

345
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:00.279
me yet. I don't know if
you guys have any issues of this,

346
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.359
but not to this extent obviously,
but the thought of that it could easily

347
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:07.160
happen, it's pretty pretty terrifying.
I haven't had, you know, something

348
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:11.519
specifically with bitcoime. I've had my
identity still on years and years ago,

349
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:15.720
and that was a whole process of
dealing with that. Obviously, this is

350
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.319
far more intense and far more extreme. But it, you know, it's

351
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:23.640
not a great feeling, so definitely
happens. I don't remember the statistics off

352
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:26.079
the top of my head, if
you hear it all the time, how

353
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:30.480
common it is. And this person
definitely had a terrifying one. So it

354
00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:34.839
lives in a cool sunding place,
Nova, Scotia. Yeah, oh,

355
00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:38.799
I was gonna say it's very common. But a thing that's very interesting about

356
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:44.960
it is a lot of you will
feel like they are ashamed that they get

357
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:48.359
their identity still on. And that's
like the number one thing that hackers rely

358
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.359
on is that you are too ashamed
to tell people or to tell authorities.

359
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:56.359
It's absolutely the wrong thing to do. You must tell people, you must

360
00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:59.880
let them know. But it's a
it's a big deal with people getting there

361
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.799
Dani song to be just like afraid
or a sad or just they you know,

362
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.359
go in on themselves feeling that they
made a mistake. It's not their

363
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:12.400
fault. It's the person who's doing
it that's the terrible person. And anyway,

364
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:15.799
I just was to say that because
it comes up so often, you

365
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:18.640
know, people get there a Dentiy
song, like you said, all the

366
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:21.240
time. So I just want to
say that, thank you, Thank you,

367
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:23.839
Lucas very reassured those of you listen
out there. Luke feels for you.

368
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:29.480
It's gonna be okay, it's gonna
be okay. Just learn from your

369
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:32.119
mistakes. And yeah, I'm gonna
cute the music. Are you ready,

370
00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:36.559
Jack, I'm ready? Okay.
So this story comes from Go for the

371
00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:41.480
Internet. My name is Zobofin.
That's what they go about anyways, and

372
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:45.039
the title of the story is I
grew up in a haunted, demonic house

373
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:52.640
has been abandoned since we moved out. I don't often talk about it because

374
00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:57.559
it's scarred. Just talking about it
freaks me out. But here we go.

375
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.279
It was about nine years old I'm
twenty seven now for a reference,

376
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:07.640
and my parents decided to move out
to a small out of their small apartment

377
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:15.480
read a house and Brisbane, Australia. We couldn't afford much, so it

378
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:21.759
was cheap and very old looking house
and nothing so bad that my dad couldn't

379
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:26.319
fix it up, but at least
that's what he thought. Keep in mind,

380
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:30.720
the owner of the property lived in
another area, pretty far away,

381
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:36.279
so it was hard to get into
contact with him. Once we moved in,

382
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:40.720
there was some strange thing that caught
our attention. There was a big,

383
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:45.759
gross and tanky looking rug in the
kitchen with weird brownish red blotches looked

384
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:52.039
like old bloodstains. So we thought
this has got to go. We rolled

385
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:56.079
it up and chucked it out.
The property had a big backyard with acreage

386
00:26:56.079 --> 00:27:00.680
of land. There were a lot
of trees. On these trees, at

387
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:07.400
least many of them, there were
some for some reason horseshoes nailed to them.

388
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:15.920
Horseshoes nailed on trees all over the
property. One horseshoe was even nailed

389
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:21.000
to the wall inside the kitchen.
Again, we thought, now, this

390
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:27.359
is weird and creepy. It wasn't
until years later that I looked into it

391
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:33.440
and found out that apparently hanging horseshoes
was meant for good luck. They were

392
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:36.440
supposed to get rid of negative energy, but we didn't realize this at the

393
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:41.039
time, and after taking them down, we went through many years of bad

394
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:45.960
luck while living in this house.
At first, apart from the house looking

395
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:52.799
creepy and old, there were no
physical signs of anything paranormal. But as

396
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:56.759
a kid, I loved playing outdoors. I want to have the backyard with

397
00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:02.720
lots of land. This was pretty
fantastic at first. Soon enough, being

398
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:07.039
a kid that plays in the dirt, I started to find things under the

399
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:14.279
dirt. I found clothing buried in
random parts of the property. In My

400
00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:17.480
Mom would occasionally see little bits of
claws sticking out of the ground too.

401
00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:19.880
Being curious, we would dig them
out, and it was always clothing of

402
00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:30.759
women or children, sometimes even the
odd shoe here or there. My parents

403
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:34.359
didn't seem to care too much,
and my dad was a skeptic. They

404
00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:38.599
always had some excuse for why stuff
was there. They'd tell me not to

405
00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:45.599
worry about it and change the subject. The house was kind of lifted off

406
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:48.559
from the ground, so I could
go under the house and play. One

407
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:53.119
day, I found a bone buried
over there. This is when my mom

408
00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:57.720
realized this was just too many coincidences
and told my dad. She wanted to

409
00:28:57.720 --> 00:29:02.599
report to the police, but my
dad just said something like this, don't

410
00:29:02.599 --> 00:29:06.920
waste your time. It's most likely
old cattle bones. So we listened to

411
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:14.559
my dad. Soon enough, the
paranormal stuff started opening. My dad always

412
00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:18.440
worked at nights, leaving me and
Mom in the house alone in the living

413
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:22.119
room. We had one computer.
We had dial up internet back then,

414
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:27.640
and it was referred to as the
family I would usually stand behind my mom

415
00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:32.680
while she was using computer and I
would just watch. While I watched,

416
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:36.759
it felt and grabbed me on the
shoulder from behind. I turned around,

417
00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:40.680
thinking it was my dad all Murli
from work, but there was no one

418
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:45.519
there. Another night, I was
in my bedroom. It was the middle

419
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:48.640
of the night and I was asleep, but I was woken by the sound

420
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:53.799
of a toy from my shelf.
And I had a furby little toy because

421
00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:59.119
since someone was in front of it
and start talking, I heard it activate

422
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:03.119
and it started rambling nonsense. If
you ever had one, you know what

423
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:07.039
I'm talking about. However, my
bed was nowhere near the shelf and never

424
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:12.519
activated on some before, and the
rambling just kept continuing so much. I

425
00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:17.160
couldn't go back to sleep, so
I wanted to go turn it off.

426
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:22.440
I walked over to the furby and
pick it up. It had stopped now.

427
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.559
I checked the switch on the bottom
it was already set to awe.

428
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:34.720
Eventually I started having nightmares, the
same nightmare every single night. It was

429
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:40.559
always so vivid and real. The
dream was of me tied up with rope

430
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:44.880
on an old bed with springs and
no mattress. It was my bedroom,

431
00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:52.039
though the room was differently. No
light bulbs or electricity. A single bedside

432
00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:56.720
table with this like old timey candle
on a plate. It almost seemed like

433
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:02.440
from a different time period. I
would try to yank free from the ropes,

434
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:04.880
kicking and trying to get out.
I would wake up at a sweat,

435
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:10.759
have three red marks in my stomachs, almost like three scratch ms.

436
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:21.160
No I've looked into this. Scratch
marks often mean demonic possession. It was

437
00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:25.240
mentally exhausting. I couldn't handle being
in my room anymore. I would maybe

438
00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:27.559
around ten years old at this point, and I was too scared to talk

439
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:32.799
about my parents. I didn't tell
them exactly what was going on. I

440
00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:37.559
just kept insisting on sleeping in their
room. I don't have any memory of

441
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:40.440
this, but my parents have since
told me when I did this, I

442
00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:42.079
would often sit up in the middle
of the night, point at the window

443
00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:48.079
and start screaming, saying things like
don't let them in and shut the windows.

444
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.160
Windows were already closed, but my
mom wou could get freaked out about

445
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:55.920
this. Dad would say something like
he's just having a bad dream. Go

446
00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:04.480
back to sleep. Over time,
my mom would start hearing walking on the

447
00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:07.119
floorboards in the middle of the night, well, dad was at work,

448
00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:15.200
but nobody was in the house.
The ceiling fan would turn on by itself,

449
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:20.359
even when the switch on the wall
was strange. Things like this have

450
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:23.839
happened. Eventually, things began to
wrap up and the bad luck turned into

451
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:30.960
a living nightmare. Our family started
to grow. My baby brother was born,

452
00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:34.200
and after some time he was starting
to walk. It was a great

453
00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:38.000
memory, but it quickly he was
ruined. Shortly after learning to walk,

454
00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:44.480
out of nowhere, he was bedridden. He wouldn't sleep, He suddenly couldn't

455
00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:47.079
walk anymore, and he wouldn't eat. He had to be taken to the

456
00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:52.799
hospital and the doctors weren't sure what
was wrong with them. They did tests,

457
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:55.440
and one doctor even suggested he was
faking it. They did X rays

458
00:32:55.480 --> 00:33:00.200
and couldn't find anything wrong. I
think my parent parents weren't satisfied with that

459
00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:05.119
answer. How or why would a
little child fake something like whatever was wrong.

460
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:07.880
We took them to another doctor and
they found a rare cyst on a

461
00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:12.599
spine. They had never seen it
before, only heard about it in textbooks,

462
00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:17.799
and it was close to bursting could
have paralyzed them for life. After

463
00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:22.319
months of being in the hospital,
we were finally getting back to a normal

464
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:25.160
life, as normal as you can
have in a house with these strange events.

465
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:30.920
We decided to install a chicken coop
raised some chickens. With size of

466
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:35.519
our backyard, it felt like a
good use for it. However, it

467
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:38.839
seems his house had other plants.
We always locked up the coop before night,

468
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:44.079
but we woke up one morning to
see the door wide open. All

469
00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:47.880
the chickens were gone. We had
ten of them. We found them shortly

470
00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:53.200
after discovering the door was open,
at least part of them. All the

471
00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:58.559
chickens had their heads hacked off.
No bodies found, just the heads,

472
00:33:58.599 --> 00:34:02.880
all laid out neatly in a straight
line in our yard. That seemed to

473
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:07.799
have been the final strawl. My
dad was the one to call the police.

474
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:12.320
No sucks best were found, and
despite struggling for money, we finally

475
00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:16.480
moved out of that house. The
nightmares have stopped. It's been over ten

476
00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:21.599
years since been moved out, and
the house was never rented out again.

477
00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:25.599
It has begun to decay and weeds
are taken over most of the property.

478
00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:32.280
I've dabbled in haunted house investigations over
the years, but that's one place I'm

479
00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:43.519
never going back. I did find
one update to this post. It says

480
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:49.519
I've shared the story before and as
a result, apparently some kind of investigation

481
00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:54.599
was opened revolving around the house.
I was visited by police officers asking questions.

482
00:34:57.280 --> 00:35:00.159
They told me they'd contact me if
they got anything new. The only

483
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:05.119
thing I learned was that before we
rented it, we have been rented out

484
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:12.280
to a biker gang. That is
crazy. Well that is really crazy.

485
00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:15.719
Why didn't they just hang that horseshoe
back up? Man? I don't know,

486
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:16.840
I guess, he said, I
guess. Apparently he didn't learn that

487
00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:21.639
until after they like they thought about
it later, like we removing those horseshoes,

488
00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:24.320
and when they started mentioning the horseshoes, I was like, hmm,

489
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:29.719
you probably shouldn't take those down.
I was definitely put up for some sort

490
00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:35.199
of protection ward by somebody captures hindsight
on South Park is what came to my

491
00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:37.440
mind. And you set all that, Oh man, that's terrifying. Yeah.

492
00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:42.000
And so there's actually a couple of
different beliefs about the horseshoes. Some

493
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:44.880
said to have them kind of like
turned up, and some of them have

494
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:49.880
turned down. Both of them involves
containing luck of some kind of good luck,

495
00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:53.239
and if it's facing down, the
good look will pour down and act

496
00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:58.920
as a like a barrier. So
some people say to put them up during

497
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:01.119
certain times of the year and turned
them down and put them on your front

498
00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:05.239
door or any entrance to your house. So there's a couple of different,

499
00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:09.440
you know, beliefs around positions of
the horseshoes. He was having very vivid

500
00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:15.079
dreams, yes, as kind of
like almost the start of things, and

501
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:19.239
it seemed too obviously it escalated I
think to the point of where what happened

502
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:22.880
with this younger sibling correct, Yeah, for sure, And you know,

503
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:27.480
the the dreams, you know,
he describes them very, very particularly,

504
00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:30.599
and it definitely seems like, you
know, if there was some kind of

505
00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:35.679
like negative energy involved a house,
it was definitely you know, seeping over

506
00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:37.519
into his dreams. For sure.
Kind of hear that that happens a lot

507
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:42.199
of times with people. But I
think that, like I just said,

508
00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:45.800
the real thing, crazy thing was
really I don't remember how old a Yogur

509
00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:50.760
sibling was, but sounds like developmentally
he just completely stopped and actually like he

510
00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:54.079
couldn't walk anymore. That's just yeah, terrifying Yeah, so it seems like

511
00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:58.400
because he mentions that he had left
the house over ten years ago, so

512
00:36:58.400 --> 00:37:00.079
it seems like they were there for
many years. I was probably like five

513
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:02.440
years or so. So yeah,
it's hard to say how old is his

514
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:07.280
younger brother was. Yeah, that
was crazy. It was soon as we're

515
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:10.559
talking about the close too. I
was just like, man, why didn't

516
00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:15.639
you call it cops then? That
it sounds like something bad happened there and

517
00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:21.320
you want to make sure that the
data that you rhyme. Yeah, definitely

518
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:24.119
wanted he wanted to know what was
going on. He wanted to know more.

519
00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:27.400
You know, he's kind of like
even it. I don't remember his

520
00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:30.480
age then, but he was investigating, right, He's like digging under his

521
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:34.920
house. Uh yeah, I mean
I assume for a reason. So obviously

522
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:37.360
had an inkling of it. And
I want to say a knack for this

523
00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:39.000
because it was kind of forced upon
him, But it seems like he was

524
00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:43.599
completely aware in trying to get to
the bottom of it a little bit,

525
00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:45.920
even though later, you know,
war came to him obviously. Yeah,

526
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:50.039
it definitely seemed that way. Uh. He also you know, started doing

527
00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:52.639
like you mentioned there at the end
that he was started doing like haunted house

528
00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:57.639
investigations. So I imagine he's probably
pretty uh, you know, almost obsessed

529
00:37:57.639 --> 00:38:00.400
in some degree with the with the
whole thing. After having personal experiences like

530
00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:02.920
that, you'd have to be and
to do something like that. It's just

531
00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:09.840
evidently fear is not a factor for
you. Who Yeah, I mean yeah,

532
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:14.280
I mean to me, I have
all that crazy stuff happened to you

533
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:17.280
and then still pursue it. He
may be still afraid, but he wanted

534
00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:23.039
answers nevertheless. Oh yeah, definitely
that's crazy lucause I found this bone down

535
00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:28.760
there. What it was a lot
to take away from that. If you

536
00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:30.760
move in and there's a bunch of
good luck stuff hanging up on the wall,

537
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:32.559
and there's a bunch of stuff hanging
up on the wall, maybe should

538
00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:36.440
research what that means, Kelly.
Even through in the dial up internet,

539
00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:40.400
it's very important part of the story. Very nostalgic. Yeah, the give

540
00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:45.039
a feeling, you know, set
the mood. I definitely had that,

541
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:47.679
like you know, we had that
like family computer thing where everyone gathered it

542
00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:51.119
around it well, even if you
weren't using it, you were all kind

543
00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:53.000
of like in the same room together. Yeah, for sure, that was

544
00:38:53.039 --> 00:38:55.480
a good story. It's a good
story. I like that one. Who

545
00:38:55.480 --> 00:38:59.199
do we have next together? Luke, you're up next for another story.

546
00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:01.320
Let me set the scene for you
man. All right, This is the

547
00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:07.159
second story by the user that wrote
the Another jail House one. I didn't

548
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:12.159
mention. His name was the Coyote
kid on Reddit. All right, So

549
00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:15.679
this is at the County jail again. One night. He was around three

550
00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:21.400
thirty am to four am. I
was called to come to a sell box

551
00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:23.880
or leave the officer for a short
time. He had a phone call in

552
00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:28.199
the off or something or something.
When I got to the cell block,

553
00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:30.159
he says thanks, and he show
it back before it sided to a check

554
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:36.480
and leaves. So all the cells
in this unit faced the desk and a

555
00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:39.599
small window so the inmates could look
out. I sit at the desk and

556
00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:45.119
twiddled my thumbs for a few minutes
when heard tapping sound coming from one of

557
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:49.119
the cells. The ground to see
where the tapping was coming from, and

558
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:52.199
I hear it again, and then
I hear a voice say, seventeen house.

559
00:39:53.360 --> 00:39:57.480
I look over at Cell seventeen on
the corner. I see an inmate

560
00:39:57.559 --> 00:40:00.639
standing in the window tapping on his
wrists, asking what time it is.

561
00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:07.440
I head up the number of fingers
and he nodded for stepping back in the

562
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:12.199
dark. A few more minutes went
by and the officer still not come back.

563
00:40:13.039 --> 00:40:15.079
I looked at his log and I
realized he was due for a check.

564
00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:20.400
I stood up and began going around
the cell block, looking through the

565
00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:23.639
cell door windows to make sure all
the inmates were safe and nothing was out

566
00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:29.079
of the ordinary. When I got
to the cell seventeen with the inmate who

567
00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:31.760
asked me for the time, I
shined my light into the cell and it

568
00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:37.239
was empty, like completely empty.
No inmate, no bedding, no personal

569
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:42.039
effects, nothing. I double checked
that it was Sell seventeen. I finished

570
00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:45.880
my check. When I go back
to the desk, I pulled the cell

571
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:51.159
log that showed which inmates for each
cell at seventeen was empty. I sat

572
00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:53.039
back at the desk and looked over
again to make sure it was Sell seventeen

573
00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:58.719
that asked me in not eighteen or
sixteen. Cell seventeen was in the corner

574
00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:02.519
and I was hermersent that it was
that cell. When the officer got back

575
00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:06.440
and told him what happened, he
thought that was strange. It had been

576
00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:10.400
out of service for about two weeks
due to having a broken toilet. When

577
00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:14.360
I left the cell block, I
went to the sergeant's office to ask him

578
00:41:14.400 --> 00:41:16.159
to pull the video of the incidant. As I know there was a camera

579
00:41:16.199 --> 00:41:21.519
in the face. Cell seventeen video
showed me sitting at the desk. You

580
00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:27.280
could hear the tapping and the voice
saying seventeen house and me holding up my

581
00:41:27.360 --> 00:41:32.920
fingers to show the time, but
no face was in the window. Oh,

582
00:41:34.159 --> 00:41:37.320
I really don't like the prisons.
Prisons are nothing to mess with.

583
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:42.159
This guy is in like a hot
spot paranormal activity at his job. Yeah,

584
00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:46.840
it seems like it. He's had
a couple encounters already. And I

585
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:52.360
liked the details in this story.
You know, the checking of the cells

586
00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:55.159
is consistent between two stories, which
adds a lot of credence to you know

587
00:41:55.280 --> 00:42:00.519
that it seems like it's real.
And then you know, talking about working

588
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:05.320
the night shift, the different uh, the way the positioning of the cells

589
00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:07.800
in that particular second room when he
was at that one, and how they

590
00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:13.639
were slightly different than other maximum security
unit. I just felt like, you

591
00:42:13.719 --> 00:42:16.760
know, the if this is a
fake, this is a very good fake.

592
00:42:17.159 --> 00:42:21.360
Someone who definitely works at the jail. But I think these are actually

593
00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:24.760
real true stories, and if so, they're kind of he made himself.

594
00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:29.239
I do that just so I know
that Jack might say something. At least

595
00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:31.159
you click it, Jack, and
I just hit the damn microphone. I

596
00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:35.280
realized that when I'm at at it, and like Jack is always beating up

597
00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:37.400
his mic Oh yeah, yeah,
Anyway, it happens all the time,

598
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:39.719
right, in a bunch of different
scenarios. So the likelihood of being one

599
00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:44.519
individual doing it to him a probably
pretty low. But who knows. It

600
00:42:44.519 --> 00:42:47.519
sounds like some pretty elaborate prank that
was the case, right, Yeah,

601
00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:52.079
at some point they will probably figured
that out, I would think. So

602
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:54.000
this guy prays a bunch of more
stories. I assume I believe he does

603
00:42:54.079 --> 00:42:59.360
have a couple more. I'm curious
if his coworkers are experiencing some of the

604
00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:01.360
same thing. You know. Well, yeah, they're obviously they also saw

605
00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:07.719
the ball hidden man, it was
you know, not capturing on camera,

606
00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:09.800
you know, and it's time something
was captured though, You're right, Yeah,

607
00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:13.719
they heard the voice and everything and
the tapping, and yeah, he

608
00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:16.960
was responding, so it's very clear
that he could see what he was looking

609
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:21.800
at and looking in that direction.
So, yeah, that's a good story.

610
00:43:21.800 --> 00:43:24.360
I like that one. I just
think I wouldn't want to work in

611
00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:29.079
that environment, and kudos people that
do it. It's it can't be easy,

612
00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:31.880
I know. No, I wouldn't
want to work that without ghosts as

613
00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:37.079
it sounds like such a hard job, stressful situation. Yeah, high stress.

614
00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:39.360
Then you had throwing things like that. I can't even imagine what that

615
00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:44.639
would do to you. Just sounds
insane. Do apologize though, because can

616
00:43:44.639 --> 00:43:46.480
you hear my dog barking? I
guess you can probably hear a little bit

617
00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:50.480
more, but I couldn't tell if
that's what it was. Yeah, that's

618
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:52.159
what it is. So it kind
of ruined the story for me because like

619
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:57.159
this is a letterc this is what
the story sounded like to me. Man,

620
00:43:57.239 --> 00:44:00.960
it just it not complicated, you
know, not got that Rubik's cute

621
00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:04.400
man. You like tombuated blue red
man, and you get one side and

622
00:44:02.760 --> 00:44:07.760
the messed up on the other side. I really like that one. I'm

623
00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:13.239
glad that one was for me.
I even love the captions bouncing around.

624
00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:15.880
It worked out perfect because I didn't
work it did through in half of that

625
00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:20.079
story for me. Just try to
get on like my security cameras and be

626
00:44:20.159 --> 00:44:24.599
like shut up to the dog daring
that story. Oh, can't live with

627
00:44:24.679 --> 00:44:28.199
him, can't without him. I
need a cat like Luke, big old

628
00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:30.880
cat. I'm up next, right, I think this is this is my

629
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:35.519
last story ye of the night.
So let me set the mood up back

630
00:44:35.559 --> 00:44:38.360
for me now and we'll give it
a go. Here. This I have

631
00:44:38.519 --> 00:44:44.840
titled pizza delivery scary story. You
know, and I was excited to share

632
00:44:44.920 --> 00:44:50.320
this after Luke shared his pizza place
scary stories. Uh so two weeks ago

633
00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:52.679
now I can't remember, but yeah, I'm excited. So pizza play scary

634
00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:58.320
story here. I recently graduated from
high school and I work at a local

635
00:44:58.360 --> 00:45:01.760
pizza place as a delivery driver night
to make a little extra cash. Friday

636
00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:07.159
and Saturday nights are always the busiest
because everyone's either home or with a friend

637
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:12.519
ordering food, so those were usually
the nights I would work. We got

638
00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:15.519
a delivery order late one Saturday night, right before Chloe we closed at one

639
00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:19.559
am. Right before we closed,
the call came in. It was a

640
00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:22.039
delivery order for a guy named Kyle. It was a small order. I

641
00:45:22.039 --> 00:45:27.760
think he only ordered a medium cheese
pizza. He lived like ten minutes away

642
00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:30.119
from the store. After the order
was done, I hopped in my car

643
00:45:30.239 --> 00:45:37.760
and put in the GPS in It
populated the directions to his house, so

644
00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:40.519
eventually it led me to a short
dead end street that veered off another dead

645
00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:44.639
end street. The house was the
last one on this dead end road.

646
00:45:44.960 --> 00:45:47.760
It sat right next to the line
of trees that ran along the side of

647
00:45:47.760 --> 00:45:52.599
it, and another side ran along
the side of a highway. It's pretty

648
00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:53.800
much dead at this hour. Given
how late of the hour it was,

649
00:45:53.840 --> 00:45:58.199
I didn't want to ring the doorbell, so I sat in my car and

650
00:45:58.280 --> 00:46:01.480
called this Kyle Guy's number. It
rang once, then went to voicemail,

651
00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:06.039
so I hung up. Then I
got a text from him selling me to

652
00:46:06.239 --> 00:46:08.920
come up to the door, so
I did. I got to the big

653
00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:14.119
wooden front porch of the house and
the front door opened. A bald guy

654
00:46:14.239 --> 00:46:15.960
opened the door. He didn't look
very old. He looked like in his

655
00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:22.039
thirties, yet his head was completely
bald. Maybe he was sick or just

656
00:46:22.639 --> 00:46:27.559
thought this look looked good on him, so I won't judge. However,

657
00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:31.440
his breath was discussing. He seemed
to be quite drunk. Something was a

658
00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:36.360
little off. The payment was made
through a credit or debit card, so

659
00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:39.800
usually there is no need to wait
around for money. However, this Kyle

660
00:46:39.880 --> 00:46:43.960
guy asked me to come in put
the pizza on the kitchen table while he

661
00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:45.679
went down to the basement and got
the money for the tip. Said he

662
00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:51.239
left his walk down to the basement. I don't object to money, so

663
00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:53.760
I waited in his kitchen. The
room was only lit up by a small

664
00:46:53.880 --> 00:46:59.320
light, so it's pretty dim in
there. The house smelled disgusting, discussing

665
00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:02.480
as hell to beyond. I don't
know what the smell was. Kyle was

666
00:47:02.519 --> 00:47:07.400
taking an awfully long time down there
in the basement, fetching this tip that

667
00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:09.480
he talked about. So while the
guy was gone, I figured and I'd

668
00:47:09.519 --> 00:47:13.760
start to wander around a bit.
I stepped into the living room, which

669
00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:16.840
was adjacent to the kitchen. The
TV was on, and I noticed the

670
00:47:16.880 --> 00:47:21.000
back door. I could see through
the room that the back sliding glass door

671
00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:24.400
was half open. Maybe he was
airing out whatever that god awful smell was.

672
00:47:25.679 --> 00:47:30.000
I walked to the back door,
expecting to get a quick breath of

673
00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:36.039
fresh air, but the smell only
got worse. Then finally I stepped outside

674
00:47:36.039 --> 00:47:40.119
to the back deck. I heard
flies, the sound of swarming flies right

675
00:47:40.159 --> 00:47:45.079
by the door. Well, I
guess there was a motion sensing light because

676
00:47:45.079 --> 00:47:50.519
as soon as it saw me movement, it turned on. This revealed two

677
00:47:50.519 --> 00:47:55.960
big black trash bags stuffed with two
long objects. The smell was unbearable too.

678
00:47:57.239 --> 00:47:59.960
It took me a second to catch
on to what I was most likely

679
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:04.800
looking at. Suddenly waiting around from
the tip didn't seem like a good idea.

680
00:48:05.880 --> 00:48:09.679
I went back inside and rushed to
the front door, and as I'm

681
00:48:09.679 --> 00:48:15.119
doing so, nearly there, I
heard and saw Kyle emerge from the basement,

682
00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:21.199
calling to me, waving a few
singles in his hand. He saw

683
00:48:21.239 --> 00:48:22.079
me as I was about to reach
for the door and out to open the

684
00:48:22.079 --> 00:48:24.639
door, and he asked where I
was going. I had to come up

685
00:48:24.639 --> 00:48:28.079
with something, so I said,
I was just rushing to check if I

686
00:48:28.119 --> 00:48:30.840
had left something in my car.
He said, oh, okay, as

687
00:48:30.920 --> 00:48:35.440
he came over to me and handed
me the bills. He then turned to

688
00:48:35.519 --> 00:48:37.800
the back door, sliding glass door
to the porch, where the light was

689
00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:43.559
still on. He then looked back
at me, with his gummy smile now

690
00:48:43.599 --> 00:48:46.480
disappearing. He asked me in a
firm voice. Did you go to the

691
00:48:46.519 --> 00:48:52.559
backyard? Told him no. He
just stared at me, not saying anything.

692
00:48:53.679 --> 00:48:57.920
I didn't care so much some more
so I opened the door and let

693
00:48:57.960 --> 00:49:01.280
myself out, but not without him
trying to grab me by my shoulder.

694
00:49:01.519 --> 00:49:05.719
As I got onto the first step, I yanked his hand off my shoulder

695
00:49:05.719 --> 00:49:09.880
and ran to my car. I
saw him run back inside with the front

696
00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:14.199
door still open. I turned my
car on, and then I sat and

697
00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:19.000
watched his front door, curious to
see if he'd come back out. And

698
00:49:19.079 --> 00:49:22.199
he did. He came back out, running full speed towards my car with

699
00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:25.880
a big metal rod in his hand. I sped away from the house,

700
00:49:25.960 --> 00:49:29.519
ready to call the police and report
him as soon as I got a little

701
00:49:29.519 --> 00:49:32.679
bit away. I called when I
got down the block, making sure to

702
00:49:32.760 --> 00:49:37.280
leave him no time to dispose of
those potential dead bodies. I waited down

703
00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:40.280
the block and saw the police cars
pull up, literally within two minutes.

704
00:49:42.159 --> 00:49:45.039
I watched the whole thing come to
find out. In fact, Kyle that's

705
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:50.360
his real name, had already started
moving the bags, which did contain dead

706
00:49:50.360 --> 00:49:55.239
bodies. He was trying to move
into the bushes in his backyard. Everything

707
00:49:55.239 --> 00:49:59.599
about this guy was off from leaving
the back door open to reveal dead bodies

708
00:49:59.639 --> 00:50:02.920
to it pizza delivery boy. The
man was definitely deranged, but he also

709
00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:08.519
wasn't the smartest man around. He's
take it. It takes some nerve to

710
00:50:09.159 --> 00:50:13.800
go wandering around somebody's house though,
right Like, I've delivered pizzas back in

711
00:50:13.880 --> 00:50:16.360
my day in high school. I
don't remember just think, oh this person,

712
00:50:16.360 --> 00:50:20.360
I'll be right back, I'm going
to go wander around. You don't

713
00:50:20.400 --> 00:50:23.559
do that specifically so you don't uncount
or anything like that. I've heard people,

714
00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:27.440
you know, they take a delivery
and they get invited in. It's

715
00:50:27.480 --> 00:50:30.440
always an awkward thing. And then
when you're in there, I you know,

716
00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:32.599
I've heard they do wander around.
They could kind of like just check

717
00:50:32.599 --> 00:50:37.280
out the place, and well that
makes you think twice for sure. I

718
00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:40.159
don't know if I would go in
someone's house of the even if they're like,

719
00:50:40.239 --> 00:50:43.719
oh not, come on, come
on in, I don't know.

720
00:50:43.760 --> 00:50:45.679
I guess I would. I would
just be like no, no, no,

721
00:50:45.679 --> 00:50:50.199
no no, have you heard have
you read online stories? Back in

722
00:50:50.239 --> 00:50:53.519
my day? Back in my day, there wasn't like as many cards when

723
00:50:53.519 --> 00:50:57.440
I was in high school, delivery
pieces, right, like debit credit cards.

724
00:50:57.440 --> 00:51:01.599
So really it was like cash based. Yeah, but I imagine that

725
00:51:01.800 --> 00:51:06.440
majority of the time is probably cards
now. But you might have that every

726
00:51:06.480 --> 00:51:08.679
once in a while where somebody wants
to give you a few dollars cash and

727
00:51:08.760 --> 00:51:12.840
you understand why, like he waits
around for it. To me, it's

728
00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:16.519
weird that the guy's got to go
to the basement to get the money of

729
00:51:16.559 --> 00:51:19.760
it. He said he left his
wall down there, So I guess that's

730
00:51:20.039 --> 00:51:22.719
one thing. But when you start
pizza things together, like I smelled this

731
00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:28.559
freaking god awful smell of something,
you gotta wonder, like how long would

732
00:51:28.599 --> 00:51:30.199
you stick it out? Before a
year? At some point you got to

733
00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:34.519
said this is not worth it.
I don't know what the tip's gonna be,

734
00:51:34.639 --> 00:51:37.360
but I don't. I don't need
it. It's not gonna be enough,

735
00:51:37.440 --> 00:51:40.280
right, I mean it's like a
medium pizza is that said? It

736
00:51:40.480 --> 00:51:44.960
was? Yeah, most was gonna
make a couple of bucks. Someone said,

737
00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:47.039
what if they lured your end by
saying, come look at these cool

738
00:51:47.159 --> 00:51:51.679
retro video games? Jack, dang
it? Maybe? Okay, yeah,

739
00:51:51.679 --> 00:51:55.000
I probably, uh man, I
don't know. So for me, just

740
00:51:55.000 --> 00:51:58.719
because I've done a lot of delivery
back in the day, there were a

741
00:51:58.760 --> 00:52:00.400
couple of weird people. Do have
you come in that that is a real

742
00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:04.800
thing and set something like on the
counter or something. Yeah, like I've

743
00:52:04.840 --> 00:52:07.880
done that. But what about that
moment when he like comes back up and

744
00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:10.920
they had this awkward exchange and he's
like this flight o't ask him if he

745
00:52:10.920 --> 00:52:14.880
went to the backyard. He's so
creepy, Like, how would you respond

746
00:52:14.920 --> 00:52:16.639
to that? Yeah, I would
probably do is I guess what they did

747
00:52:16.800 --> 00:52:20.159
was trying to play cool and be
like, no, no, I didn't

748
00:52:20.199 --> 00:52:23.639
do that, and then what backyard? Yeah, but like there was motion

749
00:52:23.800 --> 00:52:28.639
though, right, so like obviously
motion light was on. He knew I

750
00:52:28.800 --> 00:52:31.079
was just say, like, I
heard some raccoons back there or something like

751
00:52:31.119 --> 00:52:36.679
that, rout our parts. Raccoons
would definitely be a thing going backyards,

752
00:52:36.880 --> 00:52:38.519
so he'd say, hew, do
you know it's a raccoon? Yeah?

753
00:52:38.639 --> 00:52:43.599
Right, at this point, this
gay kind of knows, right, I

754
00:52:43.679 --> 00:52:45.599
think I would just I got to
get out of here. He didn't have

755
00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:47.800
to make fun of the guy for
being bald, though. Can't escape it

756
00:52:47.920 --> 00:52:54.760
to way story very well, another
very well unbrelvant one likelihood of this being

757
00:52:54.800 --> 00:53:00.079
true luke the end is what gets
me, like because he could confirm that

758
00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:02.760
there were dead bodies somehow, but
he didn't say like this guy's name was

759
00:53:02.920 --> 00:53:06.639
or whatever, or maybe not even
that, but just say like this guy

760
00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:08.480
did end up going to jail.
But then again, would you add a

761
00:53:08.480 --> 00:53:10.960
fear kind of leave it at that, or if I thought I was like

762
00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:15.960
in that situation, I would probably
check up on and make sure whether or

763
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:17.280
not this guy got arrested. Like
if he came out I started, like,

764
00:53:17.320 --> 00:53:21.280
you know, presumably trying to attact
me with some kind of metal rod.

765
00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:22.679
I would want to know did he
get arrested. If he did,

766
00:53:23.159 --> 00:53:27.000
I would be all over that story. I would be like what happened,

767
00:53:27.079 --> 00:53:30.480
specifically what happened, because I would
need to know to see So that guy

768
00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:32.559
like kind of like chased him out
the front door, like the front of

769
00:53:32.599 --> 00:53:37.039
the porch, then he went back
inside, Like I found it really interesting

770
00:53:37.039 --> 00:53:38.559
that he just sat there and waited
to see if the guy would come back.

771
00:53:38.719 --> 00:53:42.360
Yeah. I don't know, but
maybe you know, from trying to

772
00:53:42.360 --> 00:53:45.280
think get in that headspace, maybe
they were almost hoping something would happen so

773
00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:49.840
that they could call the police,
Like you know, before that it's just

774
00:53:49.880 --> 00:53:53.000
like spelled weird. You know,
he may have grabbed me on the way

775
00:53:53.039 --> 00:53:57.760
out. I can't tell if he
comes back out. I'm calling the cops.

776
00:53:57.840 --> 00:54:00.239
You know. Yeah, someone comes
at you with a metal pipe for

777
00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:02.920
something, then you have grounds to
call the cops. And yeah, that

778
00:54:02.960 --> 00:54:07.360
makes sense. Actually, I assume
this all happened pretty quick too. Probably

779
00:54:07.360 --> 00:54:09.000
wasn't like I just sat there for
minutes and waited. I'm sure like the

780
00:54:09.000 --> 00:54:13.360
guy ran in and grabbed the first
grabbed it pretty quickly and got back out

781
00:54:13.360 --> 00:54:15.320
the door. Well, Luke,
you have the last story tonight. Then

782
00:54:15.360 --> 00:54:19.760
we'll go into the our vote for
the scaries story of the night. Then

783
00:54:19.840 --> 00:54:22.599
Jack will share a personal experience.
So Luke will que you up and let

784
00:54:22.639 --> 00:54:29.199
you get to your last story.
I was a sergeant in the US Army

785
00:54:29.440 --> 00:54:34.639
and getting out from the military when
President Bush ordered more troops into Iraq in

786
00:54:34.719 --> 00:54:37.840
two thousand and three, and I
just returned home to Austin, Texas.

787
00:54:37.880 --> 00:54:44.119
When I was summoned it to my
local National Guard. It told I was

788
00:54:44.159 --> 00:54:47.559
being recalled to the army, but
the unit was already that was tasked out

789
00:54:47.559 --> 00:54:52.119
to deploy to Iraq was already out. I was not part of the union,

790
00:54:52.400 --> 00:54:57.039
so the commander offered me a waiver
to deploy with the government contractor Haliburton.

791
00:54:59.039 --> 00:55:00.559
I knew that would make more mo
as a contractor, so I took

792
00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:07.719
the offer. Not long after arriving
at Kuwait Camp Doudoha, again working with

793
00:55:07.760 --> 00:55:14.760
the operations team overseeing logistics affairs,
we would oversee the daily convoy of supplies

794
00:55:14.800 --> 00:55:20.679
between Kuwait and Baghdad, a route
riddled with ied incidents, small arms skirmishes,

795
00:55:21.039 --> 00:55:25.320
and almost constant breakdowns of army and
civilian vehicles. Because I was a

796
00:55:25.400 --> 00:55:30.199
saw gunner in the first Infantry Division
while inactive during duty and was technically still

797
00:55:30.239 --> 00:55:35.039
in the Guard, I was often
in the convoys, manning a mounted weapon

798
00:55:35.119 --> 00:55:39.559
that accompanied the mostly civilian convoys.
During these runs, we had a few

799
00:55:39.639 --> 00:55:46.679
strange encounters in area south of Baghdad
known then as Camp Babylon, occupied by

800
00:55:46.719 --> 00:55:53.119
French troops but then designated an archaeological
site for obvious reasons. Camp Babylon was

801
00:55:53.119 --> 00:55:58.320
set up in an area that was
said to originally be inhabited by the famous

802
00:55:58.559 --> 00:56:01.679
Tower of Babel. Indeed, there
are ruins here that did look like a

803
00:56:01.719 --> 00:56:07.280
massive structure once stood at that spot. I had two strange incidents happened to

804
00:56:07.280 --> 00:56:12.639
me while passing through there. The
first incident seems a bit benign, but

805
00:56:12.760 --> 00:56:16.920
sets the move for the second.
We're passing through Camp Babylon in the afternoon

806
00:56:16.960 --> 00:56:22.679
one day when a convoy took small
arms fire. The standard operating procedure at

807
00:56:22.679 --> 00:56:28.519
the time was to stop the convoy
in return fire. This was because in

808
00:56:28.559 --> 00:56:32.079
the past such incidents ended up being
a long lone gunman attempted to scare the

809
00:56:32.079 --> 00:56:37.960
convoy into run into id's on the
road. Because of this, we are

810
00:56:38.360 --> 00:56:45.880
drawers changed to stop the convoy dismount
return fire while engineers look for explosive devices

811
00:56:45.920 --> 00:56:50.760
on the road. We scanned the
horizon for enemies. Nothing They most likely

812
00:56:50.880 --> 00:56:58.519
led immediately. However, the ruins
around Camp Babylon were alive with shadow figures.

813
00:56:59.400 --> 00:57:02.079
They seemed them move about the area. Several times we spot the figures,

814
00:57:02.320 --> 00:57:07.480
but they would immediately disappear. Contractor
lying beside me with this weapon commented

815
00:57:08.159 --> 00:57:14.679
how odd that we were in the
shadow of Babyl fighting supernatural. I didn't

816
00:57:14.679 --> 00:57:19.079
respond, but knew he was a
mason high up one of that. He

817
00:57:19.280 --> 00:57:23.880
was really into the arcane aspects of
Babylon. I didn't feel at the time

818
00:57:24.239 --> 00:57:32.800
that much was supernatural with sudden these
shadowy and bizarrely small figures did seem so,

819
00:57:34.400 --> 00:57:38.920
and they darted about the structure.
Once the road was deemed clear,

820
00:57:39.119 --> 00:57:45.320
we continued on to Baghdad. The
second incident occurred about a month later.

821
00:57:46.239 --> 00:57:51.880
At this point, the weather in
southern Iraqi Kuwait I turned quite cold at

822
00:57:51.960 --> 00:57:57.360
night. During this encounter, we
had just completed the fire run to Baghdad

823
00:57:57.880 --> 00:58:01.880
and we're returning back to campada Ah
and Kuwait when a vehicle on our convoy

824
00:58:01.960 --> 00:58:07.360
broke down once again. We found
ourselves right at Camp Babylon. While the

825
00:58:07.480 --> 00:58:10.280
army mechanics took a look at the
vehicle and the rest of us took up

826
00:58:10.320 --> 00:58:15.039
fighting positions around the area, strange
things began to occur. Started with a

827
00:58:15.079 --> 00:58:20.000
strange light bobbing in the desert.
Thinking it as a person with the flashlight,

828
00:58:20.039 --> 00:58:22.800
we used night vision goggles to watch
and check it out. It was

829
00:58:23.079 --> 00:58:30.960
simply a glowing ball of light moving
to where a set of ruins. After

830
00:58:30.000 --> 00:58:35.960
the initial contact with the light,
few of us had moved forward away from

831
00:58:35.960 --> 00:58:38.840
the convoys see what the source was. After seeing it was self contained and

832
00:58:38.920 --> 00:58:44.920
not a person. We were a
bit along then we heard sound that I

833
00:58:44.960 --> 00:58:51.039
will never forget. A long wailing
began from one of the ruined structures foundations

834
00:58:51.119 --> 00:58:54.960
not far away. It sounded like
a woman in agony, mixed with loneliness.

835
00:58:55.559 --> 00:58:59.840
On and on the sounds went while
we huddled in the cold and dark,

836
00:59:00.280 --> 00:59:04.079
wondering what the hell we were listening
to. With our goggles equipped,

837
00:59:04.119 --> 00:59:07.320
we used our flashlights to spotlight the
ruins. You've ever done this, you'll

838
00:59:07.320 --> 00:59:12.360
know that a normal flashlight with night
vision goggles looks like a massive beam of

839
00:59:12.440 --> 00:59:15.840
light. We scoured the area of
a source of the whales or the ball

840
00:59:15.960 --> 00:59:20.760
light were seen. About this time, we were told via radio that the

841
00:59:20.840 --> 00:59:24.159
vehicle was repaired and ready to roll, so we decided to return to the

842
00:59:24.159 --> 00:59:29.639
convoy. I was slinging my sow
over my shoulder when I noticed my contractor

843
00:59:29.679 --> 00:59:34.239
partner was staring at the ruins in
horror. He was frozen. I shook

844
00:59:34.320 --> 00:59:37.519
him and he snapped out of a
stupor, quickly leaving the area with the

845
00:59:37.559 --> 00:59:39.920
rest of us. Once we were
back of the camp and it was pleasantly

846
00:59:40.000 --> 00:59:45.599
daylight the following morning, so several
of us were chatting about the encounter Camp

847
00:59:45.639 --> 00:59:51.199
Bawl On before our daily operations briefing. It was then that I remember the

848
00:59:51.280 --> 00:59:53.960
terrified expression on the face of the
contract, so I asked him about it.

849
00:59:54.400 --> 00:59:59.480
He was still obviously traumatized by the
event, but managed to explain that

850
00:59:59.599 --> 01:00:02.519
as we were leaving our position on
the standy hill, he saw a tall,

851
01:00:02.920 --> 01:00:08.000
dark figure standing beside the ruins.
There's washing as we're looking for it,

852
01:00:09.079 --> 01:00:13.639
he said that he felt an instant
way of despair hit him and thought

853
01:00:13.679 --> 01:00:16.840
he was going to die. He
didn't leave in the area. His memory

854
01:00:17.199 --> 01:00:22.159
was in the humpy heading back to
Kuwait. I now write non fiction books

855
01:00:22.199 --> 01:00:30.800
about haunted places for Luin Publishing,
and visited hundreds of reputedly haunted spots,

856
01:00:30.119 --> 01:00:35.280
but I'll never forget the wailing figure
at the ruins of Babbel. It's also

857
01:00:35.360 --> 01:00:39.119
worth noting that when I related this
story to sober our Pakistani employees at Camp

858
01:00:39.159 --> 01:00:45.760
Doha and Camp are Found, they
were quite horrified. I want them.

859
01:00:45.039 --> 01:00:51.079
A translator we called Artie, said
we had encountered a jin or a damned

860
01:00:51.159 --> 01:00:57.559
spirit and we were lucky to be
alive to tell the tale. That's intense,

861
01:00:58.039 --> 01:01:00.599
yeah, wor so scary than you
have, Yes, you have shatary

862
01:01:00.679 --> 01:01:06.599
figures. You have you know,
this this gin or whatever it was.

863
01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:09.960
Yeah, that would be very difficult
to deal with, just just to see

864
01:01:10.159 --> 01:01:15.760
looking over the landscape and seeing all
these shadow, shadowy shadow figures that had

865
01:01:15.760 --> 01:01:20.480
to be terrifying. Yeah. I
think what makes even worse is he described

866
01:01:20.480 --> 01:01:24.719
them as being very small, like
almost like a childlike size, darting between

867
01:01:24.760 --> 01:01:29.199
the structures. I'm sure they're like
stuff like this happens all the time,

868
01:01:29.199 --> 01:01:31.679
but a lot of people just don't
come forward with it. And war seems

869
01:01:31.679 --> 01:01:35.440
like it would like you know,
if if these things are true, it

870
01:01:35.480 --> 01:01:38.079
would be like a definitely something that
would manifest these sort of things, you

871
01:01:38.119 --> 01:01:40.880
know what I mean. Yeah,
this would be like a location that would

872
01:01:42.360 --> 01:01:45.639
attract negative energy or evil spirits.
I mean why that would be like a

873
01:01:45.679 --> 01:01:49.719
place to go if it was if
there's some sort of war or battle that's

874
01:01:49.760 --> 01:01:52.920
happening, that would be where they
would end up. It's also you know,

875
01:01:52.960 --> 01:01:55.440
it makes sense that like you know, military like soldiers would dismiss these

876
01:01:55.480 --> 01:02:01.159
things or not tell though we still
end up finding out these stories like you

877
01:02:01.199 --> 01:02:06.000
know, you know, even going
back to you know, stories from like

878
01:02:06.159 --> 01:02:09.079
Vietnam and things like they would hear
there there are there are some soldiers who

879
01:02:09.159 --> 01:02:15.880
had supernatural experiences as well. Also, this is an area just filled with

880
01:02:15.000 --> 01:02:21.400
ancient traditions and magics and stuff that
date back millennia, the very cradile cization

881
01:02:21.559 --> 01:02:25.119
with Babylon, and so there's definitely
if there's going to be a place where

882
01:02:25.159 --> 01:02:31.039
something old and ancient and dark exists, it would be somewhere out there,

883
01:02:31.840 --> 01:02:37.320
just something that's been around for a
long time, feeding on war energy or

884
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:42.079
despair and waiting. Yeah. The
translator said it all like I think a

885
01:02:42.159 --> 01:02:44.760
lot of times if you have like
shadow people, I don't know if people

886
01:02:44.760 --> 01:02:47.920
always associate that with something so dangerous, because the translator said, like,

887
01:02:47.960 --> 01:02:52.559
you're lucky to be alive. Yeah, but you definitely seemed like he knew

888
01:02:52.599 --> 01:02:55.199
that this was something they should not
have been near. You're just going about

889
01:02:55.199 --> 01:03:00.280
your normal route, doing your normal
things, and it's that's terrify already had

890
01:03:00.280 --> 01:03:04.679
like several stories tonight where I've got
now I gotta check, I'll check all

891
01:03:04.719 --> 01:03:08.000
the locks. We gotta get new
locks from every week he gets new locks.

892
01:03:08.000 --> 01:03:12.519
This is a getting expensive. The
fact that he mentions that he now

893
01:03:12.559 --> 01:03:16.000
writes books about humptings and stuff like
that. I need to track down his

894
01:03:16.079 --> 01:03:20.440
books. Actually, I believe he
linked it in one of the comments,

895
01:03:20.480 --> 01:03:22.760
so I'm wanting to check that out
at some point. What was his name

896
01:03:22.800 --> 01:03:28.000
again, you don't know, he
didn't give us. It's on the book.

897
01:03:28.079 --> 01:03:30.880
So once I looked at it,
finally, Yeah, unless he's like

898
01:03:30.880 --> 01:03:32.960
a ghost writer, I really did
me to do that. Well, I

899
01:03:32.960 --> 01:03:36.960
think we're at the point of night
now where we gotta We'll take just a

900
01:03:37.039 --> 01:03:39.320
quick break. We'll play a clip, and while the clip is playing,

901
01:03:39.400 --> 01:03:45.079
we'll come back and try to I
guess we'll just I don't want to say

902
01:03:45.079 --> 01:03:47.199
to babe, but we'll discuss what
the scary story in our opinion of the

903
01:03:47.280 --> 01:03:55.039
night was. You saw the dog, didn't you? What dog? The

904
01:03:55.119 --> 01:04:00.000
black dog? You mean like the
led Zephyn's song No Cruise, And that

905
01:04:00.039 --> 01:04:04.639
was what I'm talking about, don't
you. I've heard truckers talk about it

906
01:04:04.679 --> 01:04:08.800
on the yard. They say it
counts when you've been on the road too

907
01:04:08.880 --> 01:04:14.199
long and pushing too hard, when
you get greedy, to say, it

908
01:04:14.199 --> 01:04:24.119
comes to take everything away from it, and it did. I was hauling

909
01:04:24.119 --> 01:04:28.400
a load up from Atlanta on my
sixth straight Georgia run. It was my

910
01:04:28.480 --> 01:04:32.000
daughter's birthday and I thought I could
make a homely time. It was on

911
01:04:32.039 --> 01:04:35.400
this long dark stretch of I seventy
five. Was nothing to look up but

912
01:04:35.480 --> 01:04:40.719
the white line. When I saw
it, it was in the middle of

913
01:04:40.719 --> 01:04:44.920
the road, coming straight at me
with his teeth bared and eye staring.

914
01:04:45.559 --> 01:04:59.800
So I swore through this and I
lost control. Where do you come up?

915
01:05:00.639 --> 01:05:04.920
It's for real West? Yeah,
and I bet you've seen UFOs and

916
01:05:05.039 --> 01:05:21.360
aliens with big eyes just a black
dog from a great movie? Is the

917
01:05:21.519 --> 01:05:26.239
West? Guy is a prick.
He's kind of jerk, isn't he?

918
01:05:26.559 --> 01:05:33.440
Where did you come up? The
Randy Travis is a great award worthy performance

919
01:05:33.440 --> 01:05:35.360
in the movie. By the way, it's quick to put him in his

920
01:05:35.400 --> 01:05:41.079
place, though, Hey he knows
and I'm talking about Yeah, it's real

921
01:05:41.119 --> 01:05:45.880
West. The most amazing name ever, like Jack Cruise or Cruise. Yeah,

922
01:05:45.480 --> 01:05:47.360
yeah, that's the best name ever. Great movie. Anyways, though

923
01:05:47.360 --> 01:05:50.920
this kind of goes along with a
scene there right the black dog comes.

924
01:05:50.920 --> 01:05:56.280
It's terrifying and bad things happened.
So that being said, Luke, what

925
01:05:56.480 --> 01:05:59.239
was your in your opinion, the
most scary story of the night. I

926
01:05:59.239 --> 01:06:04.039
gotta say that first of all,
with you said with the roommate and like,

927
01:06:04.599 --> 01:06:08.760
but he came into his room in
the middle of the night after Yeah,

928
01:06:08.800 --> 01:06:11.840
he went into his other room to
found that water bottle and stuff in

929
01:06:11.920 --> 01:06:15.360
there and the possible blood stains.
That was terrifying. He said it was

930
01:06:15.400 --> 01:06:17.920
wine though you stay say it was
wine. Jack. So I have a

931
01:06:18.360 --> 01:06:28.800
chuffdown deciding between the prison story with
the inmates in in room seventeen, which

932
01:06:28.880 --> 01:06:33.360
was an empty room, and the
the the both the both the prison stories

933
01:06:34.159 --> 01:06:39.639
were pretty rough to kind of like
visualize, and it just kind of like,

934
01:06:39.880 --> 01:06:42.320
you know, seeing things and you're
constant, you know, you're you're

935
01:06:42.320 --> 01:06:45.480
absolutely certain you can see it that
that's uh that something that really affects affects

936
01:06:45.559 --> 01:06:47.880
me for sure. Yeah. I
mean it's hard for me to get past

937
01:06:47.880 --> 01:06:53.079
that first story too, because I
felt like it was just so simple yet

938
01:06:53.159 --> 01:06:55.800
real. I don't know if that
makes sense what I'm saying. Yeah,

939
01:06:55.920 --> 01:06:59.000
I liked that last story too,
though. I think it was just terrifying,

940
01:06:59.159 --> 01:07:02.800
uh, because these guys already in
are like a really bad mental space

941
01:07:03.519 --> 01:07:06.280
just from the effects of war then
your experience and stuff like that. You

942
01:07:06.280 --> 01:07:09.920
know, I guess people would say, you know, did that cause that

943
01:07:10.159 --> 01:07:14.119
like a hallucination or I Nevertheless,
it wouldn't be any less terrifying. I

944
01:07:14.119 --> 01:07:16.559
mean it wouldn't matter. Oddly enough, Jack, this is strange. We

945
01:07:16.599 --> 01:07:21.320
have people asking for a story from
you from your real life experience, and

946
01:07:21.440 --> 01:07:27.719
before we which is weird because before
we went on the air here Jack said

947
01:07:27.719 --> 01:07:30.760
he was going to finish the episode
off tonight, but talking about a story

948
01:07:30.800 --> 01:07:33.000
from his real life experience. So
the people are asking for it, dude,

949
01:07:33.000 --> 01:07:40.639
I mean you can't fight that,
Okay, So this story is actually

950
01:07:41.679 --> 01:07:47.480
I don't know how familiar are with
how familiar you are with reoccurring dreams,

951
01:07:50.159 --> 01:07:55.960
because you get used to them.
They're the same, They're the exact same

952
01:07:56.079 --> 01:08:00.199
the first time that happened. They're
very jarring, they're very you know,

953
01:08:00.239 --> 01:08:01.480
it's just it's usually, at least
for me, it's usually some kind of

954
01:08:01.599 --> 01:08:05.119
night So some people have recurring dream
where it's just like a regular dreams.

955
01:08:05.360 --> 01:08:10.400
For me, it's usually a nightmare. It started when I was really really

956
01:08:10.440 --> 01:08:14.440
young, So I was playing outside
with like toys or something like that,

957
01:08:15.319 --> 01:08:18.600
and I would I would I was
on the front portion it would be like

958
01:08:18.640 --> 01:08:24.439
a gust of wind. It would
get a chill. I would look up

959
01:08:24.760 --> 01:08:29.199
and everyone was gone. You know, I grew up with ten or twelve

960
01:08:29.199 --> 01:08:32.800
people in the same house easily,
so this was very and you'd be completely

961
01:08:32.880 --> 01:08:40.880
alone, except there was one person
staring at me at the edge of the

962
01:08:40.920 --> 01:08:46.359
front yard. He would always be
wearing like a robes, maybe like Monk

963
01:08:46.560 --> 01:08:49.399
Monkish robes, you know, like
kind of like drab kind of color,

964
01:08:50.399 --> 01:08:58.239
a rope like sash around his waist
and his head his he had like a

965
01:08:58.279 --> 01:09:00.640
hood, but it was it was
pulled back. It's very short, kind

966
01:09:00.640 --> 01:09:06.880
of stalking me, and he would
just stare directly at me. I immediately

967
01:09:06.880 --> 01:09:16.079
would get this feeling that I should
leave. I would stand up and I'd

968
01:09:16.159 --> 01:09:24.239
keep my eyes on. I'd walk
into the house, close the door,

969
01:09:26.720 --> 01:09:30.880
look out the window, and he
would still be staring. Usually I would

970
01:09:30.960 --> 01:09:35.199
wake up around that point. It
was very difficult to process when I was

971
01:09:35.199 --> 01:09:39.520
a little kid, but you know, it's a dream. But then I

972
01:09:39.560 --> 01:09:45.000
started having the dream again and again. It actually got to the point that

973
01:09:45.079 --> 01:09:48.640
I would know I'm in a dream, and because I was so used to

974
01:09:48.680 --> 01:09:54.199
this, I was almost expecting it
and it would never change. I would

975
01:09:54.199 --> 01:09:56.319
feel the gust of wind. It
was really about the gust of wind where

976
01:09:56.319 --> 01:09:59.359
I would realize, Okay, I'm
in a dream. I know what's going

977
01:09:59.439 --> 01:10:01.840
to happen. Next, look up, everyone's gone. I see this man

978
01:10:01.920 --> 01:10:08.720
standing at the edge of the yard. I would keep my eyes on and

979
01:10:08.800 --> 01:10:12.239
I would walk into the house and
close the door, look out the window,

980
01:10:12.720 --> 01:10:15.319
almost like this will wake me up. Now I will look out the

981
01:10:15.319 --> 01:10:18.640
window, I'll see him. The
dream will end. And I had this

982
01:10:18.720 --> 01:10:23.600
for several years to the point that
it was at that point it was normal,

983
01:10:23.680 --> 01:10:29.960
didn't it wouldn't affect me anymore.
The only thing that changed was that

984
01:10:30.039 --> 01:10:33.239
I would get older in the dream
I was now. I was always the

985
01:10:33.279 --> 01:10:39.239
age that I was what I had
it, so, maybe starting at like

986
01:10:39.479 --> 01:10:46.920
ten and then eleven and twelve.
Eventually we moved to a new house that

987
01:10:47.000 --> 01:10:55.319
didn't have a yard, and he
would stand at the edge of the drive.

988
01:10:55.880 --> 01:11:00.920
There was the gravel drive. But
I was maybe not playing the toys

989
01:11:00.960 --> 01:11:09.560
anymore. I was just maybe standing
outside or something like that. Even though

990
01:11:09.560 --> 01:11:12.560
it didn't scare me, I guess
I always woke up with like a chill,

991
01:11:12.800 --> 01:11:15.880
like a like a spine tingling chill. You feel on the back of

992
01:11:15.880 --> 01:11:25.199
your neck, you feel it on
your arms like goosebumps, and nothing would

993
01:11:25.239 --> 01:11:34.600
change except for one day. I
stare at him and he takes one single

994
01:11:34.640 --> 01:11:41.760
step forward. I was terrified in
the dream. I was terrified. I

995
01:11:41.800 --> 01:11:44.399
recognize it was a dream, but
this is something that's not supposed to happen.

996
01:11:44.439 --> 01:11:47.119
At this point, something was different
and it shouldn't have happened. I

997
01:11:47.239 --> 01:11:55.920
turned around, I take off running
towards the house. I slammed the door.

998
01:11:56.119 --> 01:11:59.960
I look out the window and he's
not there. I wasn't watching it

999
01:12:00.279 --> 01:12:02.039
while I was walking towards the house. I will always step away, keeping

1000
01:12:02.039 --> 01:12:04.319
my eyes on him until I would
get in. This time, I turned

1001
01:12:04.319 --> 01:12:12.600
her out ran I don't know where
he is. This became the normal dream

1002
01:12:12.920 --> 01:12:17.479
for a while, and this one
always unsettled there. I never got used

1003
01:12:17.520 --> 01:12:21.520
to this one. A few years
go by again I keep having it,

1004
01:12:21.560 --> 01:12:25.560
to the point that I think,
I guess this is just my life.

1005
01:12:25.760 --> 01:12:29.199
Now I'm going to have this dream
over and over again. You know,

1006
01:12:30.960 --> 01:12:33.840
you know you always wake up after
a night it's like okay, you know,

1007
01:12:34.239 --> 01:12:38.439
you feel around, you make sure
you're you're fine. This isn't really

1008
01:12:38.520 --> 01:12:43.800
this doesn't really happen, but you
still can't shake that feeling for a while.

1009
01:12:45.199 --> 01:12:48.399
And that was that was you know, annoying to some degree because you

1010
01:12:48.439 --> 01:12:50.760
know, couldn't give a good nice
to sleep. Whenever I would have this

1011
01:12:50.840 --> 01:12:57.199
dream, it kind of escalated a
little bit. He would take more than

1012
01:12:57.239 --> 01:13:01.039
one step at or multiple steps.
Eventually he was just it wasn't running,

1013
01:13:01.359 --> 01:13:06.720
It was just a constant walk towards
me. And I could never keep track

1014
01:13:06.760 --> 01:13:10.600
of him because I tried to run
as fast as I could to get back

1015
01:13:10.600 --> 01:13:16.600
in the house because at the very
least I could wake up, I had

1016
01:13:16.640 --> 01:13:23.720
to dream one more time. I
think, maybe on my twenties. And

1017
01:13:25.279 --> 01:13:29.479
I make it back to the house, I spin around, shut the door,

1018
01:13:30.960 --> 01:13:35.000
and I looked through the window of
the door, and there he is,

1019
01:13:35.399 --> 01:13:42.520
face almost pressed against the glass,
and he's pushing through the door.

1020
01:13:42.880 --> 01:13:46.119
I can't I'm running, ramming my
shoulder into it. I can't close it.

1021
01:13:48.239 --> 01:13:50.720
And I'm thinking, because anyone be
young, because there's no one like

1022
01:13:50.760 --> 01:13:56.000
I said that. Every time everyone
just disappears. They can't get any assistance

1023
01:13:56.000 --> 01:14:03.520
because there's no one around. And
he's speaks in this strange voice. You

1024
01:14:03.560 --> 01:14:08.439
know, you think it like a
scary voice that must be deep or loud

1025
01:14:08.560 --> 01:14:15.439
or you know, violent, it's
calm and almost kind of quiet. He

1026
01:14:15.520 --> 01:14:23.880
looks at me and he says,
why won't you let me in? And

1027
01:14:24.079 --> 01:14:30.039
I just give everything I can.
I know instinctively knows something is wrong.

1028
01:14:30.039 --> 01:14:34.720
It's always bothered me, whatever this
is, and I ram into the door.

1029
01:14:35.640 --> 01:14:41.560
It finally clicks locks, like flipped
the lock. I looked up and

1030
01:14:41.560 --> 01:14:50.640
he's gone. I have not had
that dream since, but I'm convinced that

1031
01:14:50.680 --> 01:14:54.439
if I had let him in,
something terrible. I don't know what it

1032
01:14:54.479 --> 01:14:58.439
is. I don't know what it
means, but I have never had that

1033
01:14:58.520 --> 01:15:05.279
dream since then, because now I'm
thinking a recurring dream i'd have not quite

1034
01:15:05.319 --> 01:15:10.680
that pretty scary, but not to
that level. I used to have this

1035
01:15:10.800 --> 01:15:15.279
dream that and sometimes my friend or
two would be with me, and sometimes

1036
01:15:15.319 --> 01:15:19.680
just me. I would be in
this big concrete place and we'll just concrete

1037
01:15:19.720 --> 01:15:26.199
everywhere, and this figure it never
be actually chasing me. He'd be walking

1038
01:15:26.439 --> 01:15:29.560
and no matter how fast iran,
whenever I turned around, he would be

1039
01:15:29.600 --> 01:15:33.439
there. And the weird part about
those dreams were sometimes I would wake up,

1040
01:15:33.800 --> 01:15:36.760
fall back asleep, and it would
pick back up right where it was,

1041
01:15:38.319 --> 01:15:41.880
and sometimes it would be a week
later it'd picked back up where it

1042
01:15:41.960 --> 01:15:45.079
left off again. It was like
one continuous loop. It was kind of

1043
01:15:45.119 --> 01:15:48.880
like he was kind of like Michael
Myers but not quite. It's scary even,

1044
01:15:49.439 --> 01:15:54.840
but he was just like after me, but never really wanted to catch

1045
01:15:54.880 --> 01:15:58.560
me. It's weird, like,
so if he was literally able to,

1046
01:15:58.680 --> 01:16:00.520
like I was never able to make
ground on him, he could have caught

1047
01:16:00.520 --> 01:16:03.439
me. It's almost like he didn't
want to catch me. That's what your

1048
01:16:03.479 --> 01:16:05.680
story reminded me of. That was
kind of how I got I know,

1049
01:16:05.840 --> 01:16:10.359
it's kind of the same feeling.
It was just that in you know,

1050
01:16:10.520 --> 01:16:13.920
like instinct to just get away.
And I don't even know exactly why.

1051
01:16:14.520 --> 01:16:16.720
But it's weird because like when I
had these dreams, I was in almost

1052
01:16:16.760 --> 01:16:20.760
in like another world. It felt
like another world in a whole different place,

1053
01:16:20.800 --> 01:16:25.520
but yours is like this, like
maybe this a different world but at

1054
01:16:25.560 --> 01:16:29.039
the same place at your house.
Yeah, it's just weird. Yeah,

1055
01:16:29.079 --> 01:16:31.279
it's very very wild. It was
unsettling for the longest time. I was

1056
01:16:31.279 --> 01:16:34.279
expecting to have the dream again,
you know, because I had it for

1057
01:16:34.680 --> 01:16:39.199
I don't know, fifteen years probably
at that point. How often were you

1058
01:16:39.199 --> 01:16:42.720
having it? Did it Did it
end at least once a week? Did

1059
01:16:42.720 --> 01:16:45.640
you ever have two in the same
night or not? No, every time

1060
01:16:45.680 --> 01:16:47.600
it would end kind of pretty formulaic. As soon as I would look out

1061
01:16:47.600 --> 01:16:50.800
the window, I would wake up. It would be basically the next day,

1062
01:16:50.880 --> 01:16:53.640
you know. It was like,
gready to be awake. I know

1063
01:16:53.720 --> 01:16:56.840
what you're saying, though, because
I knew it was a dream when this

1064
01:16:56.880 --> 01:16:59.960
happened to me, and I would
think I'm going to wake up from the

1065
01:17:00.239 --> 01:17:02.399
dream, and it was so long
ago and trying to remember exactly, but

1066
01:17:02.399 --> 01:17:05.760
I almost feel like I could wake
myself up then when I couldn't, that

1067
01:17:05.840 --> 01:17:09.880
was terrifying. So like you were
fully aware that this was a dream.

1068
01:17:10.119 --> 01:17:13.199
Yeah, certainly, after after you
do it enough times, after you get

1069
01:17:13.239 --> 01:17:15.680
the same dream over and over again, I feel like it's like, oh,

1070
01:17:15.800 --> 01:17:18.680
I've been here before. I kind
of know what's going to happen next.

1071
01:17:18.720 --> 01:17:21.239
At the same time, I still
want to be awake because this is

1072
01:17:21.399 --> 01:17:25.600
terrifying. Did this guy in your
dream look like anything you had, anybody,

1073
01:17:25.680 --> 01:17:28.560
or anything you'd seen before. No, he actually I meant to describe

1074
01:17:28.560 --> 01:17:31.439
his face. It was it was
very big, like I mean like wide,

1075
01:17:31.640 --> 01:17:36.159
like almost and also I say cartoonishly
wide, but like to the point

1076
01:17:36.159 --> 01:17:40.720
that it would, you know,
take up the entire window. Not like

1077
01:17:40.840 --> 01:17:43.199
it wasn't like a big window.
This was just like a door. So

1078
01:17:43.359 --> 01:17:45.800
I would say maybe like twice the
size of my head or so. So

1079
01:17:45.840 --> 01:17:50.159
it was just like a very big
face. You know. There was something

1080
01:17:50.560 --> 01:17:55.279
off putting about it. It was
almost like a yeah I did mention that

1081
01:17:55.319 --> 01:17:58.840
cartoony kind of look, because it
was almost like is if someone was drawing

1082
01:17:58.880 --> 01:18:01.680
a face that was trying to make
a really ugly looking face. That was

1083
01:18:01.760 --> 01:18:04.479
kind of like the way I describe
it, whenever you woke up, did

1084
01:18:04.520 --> 01:18:08.159
you actually ever go check out the
one do in real life? I did,

1085
01:18:08.520 --> 01:18:10.640
But like I said, you know, I grew up with like when

1086
01:18:10.680 --> 01:18:14.039
I was younger, it was like
twelve to fifteen people, so there was

1087
01:18:14.079 --> 01:18:16.800
like this pretty good sense of security. I guess I could say, you

1088
01:18:16.840 --> 01:18:19.279
know, I had to kind of
climb over other people who were asleep to

1089
01:18:19.279 --> 01:18:23.640
go look out the front door.
As I got older, there was shiking

1090
01:18:23.640 --> 01:18:27.399
your humble line movie. Yeah,
it was kind of like that. It's

1091
01:18:27.399 --> 01:18:30.279
a good question though. I like
that question. Yeah. Someone else asked

1092
01:18:30.600 --> 01:18:33.560
how deep of a pitch. Was
the voice? No, it was like

1093
01:18:33.600 --> 01:18:38.279
really soft. It was almost like
a like you said, calm, yeah,

1094
01:18:38.359 --> 01:18:41.560
calm, it was like soft.
How big was the person? So

1095
01:18:41.680 --> 01:18:43.960
a lot of people were being asked
for a better description of the person,

1096
01:18:44.159 --> 01:18:47.279
right, So I actually do remember
this person most of the time. I

1097
01:18:47.319 --> 01:18:50.520
would say, like right at five
foot maybe a little bit less even,

1098
01:18:50.640 --> 01:18:54.479
like very kind of kind of you
know, kind of on the shorter scale.

1099
01:18:54.640 --> 01:18:57.199
You know. I definitely got the
feeling that this person was an adult.

1100
01:18:57.920 --> 01:19:01.600
However, when it came to the
door, I was actually more shocked

1101
01:19:01.600 --> 01:19:05.119
than they were able to be at
the window, like my at my eyes,

1102
01:19:05.319 --> 01:19:09.119
did he look different than ever before? He always looked the same.

1103
01:19:09.239 --> 01:19:12.800
He always looked the same. I
never got quite that good of a view

1104
01:19:12.840 --> 01:19:15.880
of his face before that point because
he was always at the end of the

1105
01:19:15.960 --> 01:19:18.079
driveway or at the end of the
yard or something like that. But this

1106
01:19:18.239 --> 01:19:21.840
was like face to face, like
it was like the only thing separating us

1107
01:19:21.880 --> 01:19:25.840
was the glass. And well,
yeah, like I said, it was,

1108
01:19:25.880 --> 01:19:29.439
it was terrifying. It was terrifying
at the time. And how did

1109
01:19:29.479 --> 01:19:31.439
he stand well normally, I mean
I guess you would say just kind of

1110
01:19:31.439 --> 01:19:34.359
like kind of relaxed. I guess. I would say relax would be the

1111
01:19:34.399 --> 01:19:38.960
best way to put. His shoulders
were down. It was almost like he

1112
01:19:39.039 --> 01:19:45.079
was just passively watching me. It's
staring directly at me. Obviously was the

1113
01:19:45.079 --> 01:19:46.960
only one around in the dream.
And then when he was walking towards me,

1114
01:19:47.079 --> 01:19:49.800
was very clearly you know, you
can kind of like, get look

1115
01:19:49.840 --> 01:19:51.960
at my eyes. That's kind of
like he was just kind of looking directly

1116
01:19:51.960 --> 01:19:57.399
anyone. Did you ever tell anybody? I think I did, But you

1117
01:19:57.399 --> 01:20:00.279
know, it's like most of the
time with a dream, you know,

1118
01:20:00.319 --> 01:20:03.680
it's like you tell someone a dream
and it's almost never quite as interesting as

1119
01:20:03.720 --> 01:20:08.479
it is to yourself, I guess. And also it never seemed to resolve,

1120
01:20:08.720 --> 01:20:11.640
and so I didn't really know what
to say about it other than there

1121
01:20:11.760 --> 01:20:15.439
was a guy that was watching me. And as it started to escalate over

1122
01:20:15.479 --> 01:20:18.039
the years, I was so used
to it that I felt like this was

1123
01:20:18.119 --> 01:20:20.680
just this was just for me.
I don't know what it means, but

1124
01:20:20.720 --> 01:20:24.880
it's just for me. And after
it was completely over, I was like

1125
01:20:25.399 --> 01:20:28.439
I had to really go back and
really analyze everything that happened. It was

1126
01:20:28.479 --> 01:20:30.840
like, wow, this is yeah, I don't know how to describe it

1127
01:20:30.920 --> 01:20:33.439
other than this is just like a
dream of a guy who was I guess

1128
01:20:33.520 --> 01:20:39.319
trying to get into the house all
along. I guess someone else is asking,

1129
01:20:39.359 --> 01:20:43.560
did you ever think about doing something
different in the dream? What would

1130
01:20:43.560 --> 01:20:47.319
happen? Actually? I was always
scared of doing something different. That was

1131
01:20:47.800 --> 01:20:51.119
the one thing I was like,
if I do something different, what is

1132
01:20:51.239 --> 01:20:55.119
he going to do? I know
that if I get in the house,

1133
01:20:55.199 --> 01:20:58.680
I close the door and then I
can wake up. That was always my

1134
01:20:58.720 --> 01:21:01.720
number one priority. When things started
changing, I did try something else.

1135
01:21:01.760 --> 01:21:05.640
I did like try to, I
don't know, run to a different door.

1136
01:21:05.680 --> 01:21:08.600
There was the front door, in
the back door of the house.

1137
01:21:08.600 --> 01:21:12.520
I would try to figure out,
like do I need to do something different

1138
01:21:12.560 --> 01:21:15.800
to make him go back to not
walking on to the yard. You know,

1139
01:21:15.880 --> 01:21:18.840
it's you know, you're in that
moment of like in a dream space

1140
01:21:18.880 --> 01:21:24.239
where things sometimes make sense and sometimes
it don't make sense, and so you

1141
01:21:24.319 --> 01:21:27.960
just kind of try to make a
decision. Some good questions. When did

1142
01:21:28.000 --> 01:21:30.520
you know that the dream had started? Was there a transition from another dream?

1143
01:21:30.800 --> 01:21:33.199
How long it did the dream to
take you to realize before you're in

1144
01:21:33.239 --> 01:21:40.159
this scenario. When I first had
the dream. I had had weird nightmares

1145
01:21:40.199 --> 01:21:42.840
before, you know, like I
don't know, running from a wheat thresher

1146
01:21:42.920 --> 01:21:45.920
or something like that in the field. Weird stuff, terrifying, and I'm

1147
01:21:45.920 --> 01:21:47.239
like, oh it did never happened
again. It was just like, oh,

1148
01:21:47.239 --> 01:21:49.640
that was a weird dream that was
kind of scary. I'm glad it's

1149
01:21:49.640 --> 01:21:53.439
not real, you know. Like
I said, I was like maybe nine

1150
01:21:53.840 --> 01:21:58.520
ten when I first started, and
when it started happening more than once,

1151
01:21:58.640 --> 01:22:00.239
I would wake up and go,
oh, that's the exact same dream,

1152
01:22:00.760 --> 01:22:04.079
and then having a couple more times, and then it was at some point

1153
01:22:04.119 --> 01:22:09.439
maybe I had a six seventh time
that that's when I started to like acknowledge

1154
01:22:09.439 --> 01:22:12.159
it in the dream. Have had
any more questions pop up? Luke?

1155
01:22:12.239 --> 01:22:15.359
What do you think? This is
the first time I've heard this dream.

1156
01:22:15.079 --> 01:22:17.680
This is very odd because you nort
really you know, Jack would tell me

1157
01:22:17.680 --> 01:22:20.239
stuff like this. But then again, I kept the ghosts from himself.

1158
01:22:20.319 --> 01:22:25.199
Yeah, I had the internive events. Yeah, I've had recurring dreams before.

1159
01:22:25.640 --> 01:22:29.840
You guys both described it somewhere kind
of thing like a person coming at

1160
01:22:29.920 --> 01:22:33.279
you or something like that. Mine
were never like that, but they were.

1161
01:22:33.479 --> 01:22:39.720
I did have a recurring nightmare of
this creature that would always kill someone

1162
01:22:39.760 --> 01:22:45.000
in my family, and I would
wake up realizing I failed again to stop

1163
01:22:45.279 --> 01:22:49.840
happening, and after a while I
kind of got a sense that I could

1164
01:22:49.880 --> 01:22:53.439
control the dream, so I would
try to stop it the next time.

1165
01:22:53.960 --> 01:22:59.159
Always failed. Every time. It
was probably about seven or eight years,

1166
01:22:59.199 --> 01:23:02.479
I would have the same type of
dream, the same creature. I actually

1167
01:23:02.479 --> 01:23:08.319
needed to maybe use like something like
so sure of ai art assistant or something

1168
01:23:08.319 --> 01:23:11.800
to draw it at some point,
because I could tell you, well,

1169
01:23:12.000 --> 01:23:14.640
well, you know, I could
break it down after to think about it

1170
01:23:14.680 --> 01:23:17.479
for a few minutes. But he
was always something horrible, something I've never

1171
01:23:17.520 --> 01:23:21.920
seen before in any movie or now, and it was the same thing.

1172
01:23:23.319 --> 01:23:27.960
But yeah, this to me that
that seems a little more silly than like

1173
01:23:28.119 --> 01:23:33.079
Jack's and yours did, because something
about those two dreams seems unsettling, like

1174
01:23:33.239 --> 01:23:39.560
something else that shouldn't be here was
there. Looking back at it, You're

1175
01:23:39.560 --> 01:23:44.520
always like, well, would have
happened if I would have approached this being

1176
01:23:44.600 --> 01:23:47.039
or whatever it was? In my
case, it was a man that had

1177
01:23:47.039 --> 01:23:50.359
to mask and I never really knowed. I can't even describe what the person

1178
01:23:50.399 --> 01:23:54.239
looked like. If that makes sense. It was so it's like he was

1179
01:23:54.279 --> 01:24:00.000
always just far enough away but never
close, but always never not far away.

1180
01:24:00.079 --> 01:24:01.199
I mean, I don't know how
to describe it. But so you've

1181
01:24:01.239 --> 01:24:03.920
looked into this some more, Yeah, I have, Well, yeah,

1182
01:24:04.000 --> 01:24:09.000
I have, and I'm like,
oh, this, this face, this

1183
01:24:09.079 --> 01:24:13.640
is this is almost exactly like that
character from the dream. And I guess

1184
01:24:13.840 --> 01:24:15.560
so I'm trying to think of when
this was I had last had the dream.

1185
01:24:16.600 --> 01:24:21.479
Maybe it was so it was in
my twenties, so like seven eight

1186
01:24:21.560 --> 01:24:25.079
years ago, probably was one of
the last time I had this dream.

1187
01:24:26.000 --> 01:24:28.720
So it's so crazy that he had
moved. He would go to your different

1188
01:24:28.760 --> 01:24:32.920
houses too. Yes, everything was
Yeah, like I was suddenly we had

1189
01:24:32.920 --> 01:24:36.920
like three different places we lived at, maybe three or four, and I

1190
01:24:36.960 --> 01:24:45.000
was always in wherever I was currently
been another interesting recording, but another cool

1191
01:24:45.039 --> 01:24:48.000
episode here that we've laid out.
Yeah, I don't I don't know,

1192
01:24:48.079 --> 01:24:50.000
mix some mix. Think about your
dreams, you know, how much do

1193
01:24:50.039 --> 01:24:53.399
they really mean? Like a lot
of people are really into like what your

1194
01:24:53.439 --> 01:24:56.640
dreams mean, and you know,
I never really have that. But thinking

1195
01:24:56.680 --> 01:25:00.720
about this, it's like every you
have to dream something for a reason,

1196
01:25:00.840 --> 01:25:04.600
right, Like it's obviously you can't. You're always dreaming when you're going to,

1197
01:25:04.640 --> 01:25:09.079
like any sleep cycle at all,
you just don't remember it. But

1198
01:25:09.119 --> 01:25:14.079
it makes you wonder, like what
how you generate these thoughts about these dreams

1199
01:25:14.119 --> 01:25:16.119
that you do remember. Some of
them are happy, some of them are

1200
01:25:16.159 --> 01:25:20.079
sad, some of them are scary. But it makes you wonder, like

1201
01:25:20.159 --> 01:25:26.359
what elevates your brain to like generate
that. Yeah, definitely the question of

1202
01:25:26.399 --> 01:25:31.000
like why did I dream? Sometimes
even just asking that sometimes it gets me

1203
01:25:31.079 --> 01:25:34.079
a little bit, like, I, no doubt don't have the answer for

1204
01:25:34.119 --> 01:25:36.399
that, and so it kind of
it kind of creeks me out a little

1205
01:25:36.399 --> 01:25:40.920
bit. Yeah, it's it's a
creepy thing. I need like a pick

1206
01:25:41.000 --> 01:25:43.239
me up. I got to play
the black dog here one more time.

1207
01:25:43.399 --> 01:25:47.159
You saw the dog, didn't you? The black dog? I've heard truckers

1208
01:25:47.199 --> 01:25:50.239
talk about it on the yard to
say it comes to take everything away from

1209
01:25:50.279 --> 01:25:55.520
it, and it did. I
don't know why that that killed me.

1210
01:25:57.279 --> 01:26:00.960
I actually saw a black dog,
I think one time. No, this

1211
01:26:01.159 --> 01:26:06.079
was years and years ago. We
were out late moving some restaurant equipment.

1212
01:26:06.600 --> 01:26:11.720
We were out very late where it
was around four or five in the morning

1213
01:26:11.760 --> 01:26:15.239
at this point. I think at
that point it's just very early. Yeah.

1214
01:26:15.279 --> 01:26:18.439
I was sitting in the back of
a truck. We have been driving

1215
01:26:18.479 --> 01:26:25.680
down the highway for a while and
I look out and by back of the

1216
01:26:25.680 --> 01:26:28.880
truck, I mean like pick up
bed and I was back there with some

1217
01:26:28.960 --> 01:26:33.119
of the equipment and I look off
to the side and it's not dog,

1218
01:26:33.479 --> 01:26:41.680
but I see a shadow person running
alongside the car. And we take a

1219
01:26:41.720 --> 01:26:45.079
turn, it's gone. Yeah,
that was a really I you know,

1220
01:26:45.520 --> 01:26:48.359
you could probably chalk it up to
the fact that I was running out of

1221
01:26:48.359 --> 01:26:51.439
the fumes and I actually had to
get up for work in like three hours,

1222
01:26:53.000 --> 01:26:55.880
so when we got back all my
I almost look like a couple hours

1223
01:26:55.920 --> 01:26:59.960
after that. But yeah, I
was pre burnt out and we had moved

1224
01:27:00.079 --> 01:27:04.159
this equipment all night long. I
see this thing running beside the truck.

1225
01:27:04.760 --> 01:27:09.000
I was actually in the truck with
you. I remember you tapped my shoulder

1226
01:27:09.039 --> 01:27:12.800
and said, look at this.
And that's right when we made that turn,

1227
01:27:13.000 --> 01:27:15.279
and I don't know, I saw
some shadow. I couldn't quite make

1228
01:27:15.319 --> 01:27:17.399
it out, but I was like, we have to go. I don't

1229
01:27:17.399 --> 01:27:21.239
know what's going on, but I
don't want to be outside right now.

1230
01:27:32.079 --> 01:27:36.359
My reaction to Scary Stories. It's
horrible. Oh we've been recorded away too

1231
01:27:36.399 --> 01:27:41.840
long. I've getting very really slap
happy at this point in time. Yeah,

1232
01:27:41.920 --> 01:27:45.159
a lot to make light of their
black doll glue or black band.

1233
01:27:45.199 --> 01:27:46.359
And it was a creature. I
don't know what you said it was,

1234
01:27:46.399 --> 01:27:51.560
but shadow person. That's terrifying though
actually kind of like that guy described in

1235
01:27:51.640 --> 01:28:00.199
that War one. It was like
a very small figure of a shadow creature.

1236
01:28:00.720 --> 01:28:03.600
I think, guys, that puts
a rap on this episode of your
