00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:08.080
Luke, can you hear me?
Yes? I can? Can you hear

2
00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:11.320
me? I can hear you?
Yes, I can already get a little

3
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:14.720
bit of a video lag going.
It's that great internet. Do you have?

4
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:20.039
Wonderful? Some would say you have
scary Internet. I would say that

5
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:25.519
get everything going? All right?
All right, all right, this is

6
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:29.600
your Scary Stories Live. This show
where we share your scary stories live every

7
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:36.200
Monday at ten thirty pm ish.
As it's eleven pm. Luke was busy

8
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:41.200
beating the first boss. Would you
say that's the case? Yeah, something

9
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:45.520
like not quite like that. No, weird stuff always pops up though it

10
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:49.640
seems like put us off slightly.
It's all good. We're here though,

11
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.520
man, how are you doing?
Good? Good? Are you good?

12
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.439
Man? Cutting in and out?
It's all right though. So yeah,

13
00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:00.560
I've got three stories tonight that I'm
gonna share. How do you? I

14
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:06.719
have two. One's a little bit
different than what I normally do because it's

15
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:11.920
more of a pretty well documented story. Okay, well, it's nothing wrong

16
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.879
with that. I have one.
It's pretty well documented too. So yeah,

17
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:18.280
this one I've been wanting to talk
about for a long while because it's

18
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:22.319
something that I was always interested in
when I first heard the story, and

19
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.480
so this one I'm pretty excited about
though. Yes, Lucas spooky Internet and

20
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.959
a sure what's going on? You
must live out there in a some rural

21
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.120
area. I'm excited about this.
I will start off with the first story

22
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.560
tonight. Cost If you want to
submit a story to us, you can

23
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:42.560
go to your Scary Stories dot com. There's a submission tab there, also

24
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:48.079
available across all social media, including
Discord, Reddit. I think there's some

25
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.640
variation differences. You'll have to give
the Discord and read it. I know

26
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:55.480
that we're your scary stories on every
other platform, but it's a little different

27
00:01:55.480 --> 00:02:00.560
on one of them. Were your
scary stories on Discord as well? It's

28
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:06.239
sharey or scary stories on Reddit because
somebody already has your scary stories that they're

29
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:09.680
not using tragic on Reddit. Yeah, well I'm going to kick things off.

30
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:12.439
Luke, Are you ready? We'll
see if we can get the music

31
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.360
going. You ever been more ready
in your life, that's what you're saying.

32
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:17.879
Yeah, well, okay, I'm
going to share the first story this

33
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:25.000
evening. This is called evil Clown
Story. This happened at a haunted house

34
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:30.000
on Halloween. Just me and my
friend Sarah. Me and Sarah are total

35
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:35.159
opposites. She's blonde, outgoing and
completely fearless. I have dark hair,

36
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.680
introverted, and I'm honestly at people
pleaser. That's actually how I ended up

37
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:43.520
at this haunted house. Anyways,
we go through the haunted house and it

38
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:47.639
was pretty awesome. The usual people
with chainsaw, screamers, clowns. However,

39
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:52.159
one clown in particular kept following us. He wasn't like the other clowns

40
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.439
who wore face paint with fake blood
splattered on them. He didn't have a

41
00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:01.879
big rigged nose and clown clubs either, irregular if not, tattered jeans,

42
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:07.080
stained sweaty white tea, and a
clown mask. The mask was very detailed.

43
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.919
It had eyes cut out and a
wicked, jagged teeth with blood smeared

44
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:15.159
around the mouth. It was seriously
creepy. He followed us all the way

45
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:20.439
through the house as we giggled and
ran into the last room full of fog.

46
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.319
Once we make it outside, we
go to the stand outside the attraction

47
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:27.840
to get some hot cocoa. There
was a local band playing on the stage

48
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.800
outside. This is on the fairgrounds
in their local area. While enjoying the

49
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:36.680
cocoa and watching the band from a
distance. The clown. That same clown

50
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.719
walks up and stand inches away from
me. I noticed he was breathing in

51
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:45.360
and out so hard his mask was
sticking to his face and releasing with each

52
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:47.919
breath. I was thinking, Okay, this is pretty odd, but I

53
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:53.199
guess we're an environment where this could
be considered normal. He walks away for

54
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:57.960
a moment. We giggle about it, but he stays pretty close, staring.

55
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:00.960
We walk up closer to the band, and he comes back right back

56
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:05.120
up and stands right behind me.
He starts tugging my hair. I try

57
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:09.599
to ignore it. He's just tugging
the hair softly at this point, but

58
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:13.960
he keeps tugging harder and harder.
Suddenly he pulls my hair so hard my

59
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:17.600
head whips back. Sarah starts yelling
at him, and he lets go and

60
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:23.000
walks away, but not far.
Like before. She wanted to tell someone,

61
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.959
but I didn't want to tell anybody. We're at a haunted house and

62
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:29.399
he probably didn't mean to. But
she said no, that the people working

63
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.199
in the house and on the property
are not allowed to touch you during this

64
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:36.480
attraction. We told her something like
this, ma'am. Your clown over there

65
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:41.120
pulled my friend's hair so hard it
almost ripped out. The manager replied,

66
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:43.720
I don't see any of our clowns. They're all in the Haunted House.

67
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.240
We don't allow them to walk around
out here because some families with small kids

68
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:51.160
are doing other activities in this area
and we don't want to scare them.

69
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:55.879
I told her, but it's that
clown standing right there. He did it.

70
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:58.519
Do you not see him? How
do you not see him? She

71
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.639
told me, calm down, that's
not one of our clowns. Are you

72
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.800
sure that just isn't a friend of
yours messing with you? Terrified, I

73
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:10.839
responded with a thank you and told
her that we're sorry to bother her.

74
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:14.000
I just wanted to leave. At
this point, the clown is still staring

75
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:17.360
and I'm missing a hair nails,
so this isn't very fun anymore. Fearless

76
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:21.959
Sarah decides to confront the clown.
She marches right up to with me behind

77
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:27.439
her, and demands he takes off
his mask. He doesn't speak, he

78
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.480
just looks at me and turns his
head to the side. He reaches out

79
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:34.399
his hand to me, and I
refuse to touch him. He pushed Sarah

80
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:38.759
from in front of me and stepped
two inches from my face and screamed the

81
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:44.399
most terrifying, psychotic scream I've ever
heard. Everyone turned to look. The

82
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.279
band even stopped playing music. Sarah
grabbed me by the arm, but I

83
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:51.199
was frozen in fear. Sarah then
grabbed my face and slapped me. She

84
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:56.160
pulled my arm again and we started
to run away. We stopped a short

85
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.560
distance away. I looked back at
the clown and he was still standing and

86
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.600
staring. Everyone just went back to
what they were doing like nothing happened.

87
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.600
We got into our car and peeled
out of there. Sarah kept yelling that

88
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.680
we needed to call the police.
I told her that it wasn't a big

89
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.680
deal and there was just some weirdo
at a haunted house, and that I

90
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.600
had no hard feelings for her slapping
me because I know I wasn't reacting because

91
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:21.319
I was so scared. Then she
said the most terrifying thing ever to me.

92
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:25.959
He had a knife. That's why
she slapped me and pulled me to

93
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:30.000
run away, not from fear of
me being screamed at. She saw the

94
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:32.519
weapon in his hand. We contacted
the police, but they didn't take us

95
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:36.600
seriously. I am now afraid to
go to any haunted attraction, not because

96
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:41.920
they're too scary, but because you
never really know if someone works there or

97
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:47.319
they're just there because they fit in
so well. Shit, you have a

98
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:53.720
fear of clowns. Look not so
much of clowns. But I have always

99
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:58.000
thought about how like a place like
that, if you were going to be

100
00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:02.519
at Killer Man obvious, that you
could get away with it there, like

101
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:06.959
you might not get hot like yo, you would just be like yo,

102
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:12.279
quick stick and move and you get
out of there and uh, drop your

103
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.560
disguise. Did you just say quick, stick and move? I did?

104
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:20.199
Oh well no, all right.
So on Netflix there's this nice knife for

105
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:24.560
death I think what it was called. And there's this challenge called stick and

106
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.879
Move where you're supposed to stab these
things. So that's like stuck in my

107
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.240
head for everyone. I think of
knives. I think of knife for dads,

108
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:35.079
and sometimes you got stick and move. Yeah. I think a lot

109
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:39.800
of people out there have a fear
of clowns. So I antally think back

110
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:44.839
to it was like two thy sixteen
or something with all those clown sightings everywhere,

111
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.279
but all those random creepy ass blowns. It's just like that was so

112
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:53.279
weird. They were like everywhere man
like, they were scary, terrifying.

113
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:56.480
They would like fake charge you.
Well, I guess I don't really know

114
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.279
if fake if you run away,
but they're like charge you, you know

115
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.160
what I mean. Some of the
most scary ones I seem were like the

116
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.800
doorbell cameras, like the cloud to
walk up to the door in the middle

117
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:09.639
of the night and be like,
what was that? That was so weird.

118
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.920
That's spontaneously like everybody's gonna get in
on the movement all of a sudden.

119
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:18.160
Yeah, it was just crazy that. I don't know, that's that's

120
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.759
crazy. I definitely I'm not like
afraid of clowns. But I guess I

121
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.279
haven't been to a lot of these
hotter attractions since I was like little,

122
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.879
right. I don't even remember doing
it. I was a little bit older

123
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.960
maybe in call It and stuff.
I just can't really remember. But I

124
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:39.559
think this clown sounds pretty terrifying and
compare compared to like Ronald McDonald it's definitely

125
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.200
a little bit different than Ronald McDonald's. Well he was still loving it though,

126
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.519
Yeah, he was that A lot
of people get. Uh, it's

127
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.399
a it's a natural instinct to be
afraid of something that you can't fully make

128
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.039
out, you know, and when
something's behind it, each type of mask,

129
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.879
you don't see their emotions, right, and this is a human creature

130
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.799
coming at you, but you can't
tell their friend or foe by looking at

131
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.200
their face. And this guy had
a face mask on for what the story

132
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:09.759
described, whether it's even just paint, it was a fall on mask with

133
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.559
eye holes, which is why,
like you know, Michael Myers is such

134
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:20.519
a scary villain. It's because his
face is so emotionless because it's a mask,

135
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.879
and so it makes it more terrifying. Do you think the body language

136
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:26.559
is very telling though? Like they
like she said as he turned his head,

137
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:28.679
like you know, I'm talking about
like a dog does, Like you

138
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:33.960
know what I mean? That speaks
to a person who is more deranged than

139
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:37.799
your average person. How did you
feel about the point when it the clown

140
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:43.799
that started screaming in her face?
That was kind of terrifying. Uh,

141
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:52.519
And it shows that they kind of
have a total lack of respect for normal

142
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.759
human interactions. It doesn't seem like
something that they would even do at a

143
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:01.159
regular haunted house. Now they're there
are more extreme haunted houses like that was

144
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:07.759
really weird one you hear about they
go overboard and but I don't think this

145
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.360
was that kind of because you normally
they don't have like clown guys and shit

146
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:15.840
like that, so like that that
to me, it seems like this is

147
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:20.679
much more of a somewhat normal haunted
house, and with something like that to

148
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.879
happen there would be highly unusual,
and it makes you think, you know,

149
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:26.759
this is not that kind of person. Kind of seems like she has

150
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.799
a pretty good friend though, Yeah, absolutely does. They were definitely on

151
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.759
the ball that night. Yeah,
kind of a good friend like that kind

152
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:48.519
of reminds me of this. See
that right there? Well, anyway,

153
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.320
he's staring in the camera. That's
the way a killer stares into someone's eyes.

154
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.360
But you only get what you give
there, right Yeah, And I

155
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.919
feel like what he's gonna give you
is a knife and you Oh, I

156
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.519
love that clip. I was.
I was so excited to share that clip

157
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.000
with you. You don't even know. I couldn't even wait till like the

158
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.919
second story to do that. We
have a very long history with that clip.

159
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.759
I don't know many people in the
world. That would be like everybody,

160
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.559
there's so many insight jokes. They're
just like, what are they talking

161
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.120
about? Yeah, there's definitely a
long history with that clip. Yeah,

162
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.240
it's funny because like twenty five percent
of the jokes that we have knowing but

163
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.759
us would get. That's why it
makes it great though, great song though,

164
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.679
but only give what you give.
She had a good friend. Uh,

165
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.440
she called her something at one point
that I thought was pretty funny.

166
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:43.600
Here something Sarah fearless, Sarah gotta
go confront the clown herself. Would you

167
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:46.840
confront the clown yourself? I mean, until I saw the knife, that'd

168
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:50.120
be like, we gotta go wors
enough, Harrybird, get out of here,

169
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:56.879
clown. Yeah, then once you
saw that, you probably wouldn't beat

170
00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:58.519
Yeah, you're right, Probably nothing
else you could say. Now at that

171
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.960
point, we got to get out
and then maybe call the cops. But

172
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.039
they called the cops, I think
right in the story. So yeah,

173
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:09.240
it kind of seemed like she was
very hesitant to act upon any of these

174
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:13.039
things. They did eventually tell the
manager and then when they left they called

175
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.600
the cops and they said, didn't
take them serious. This is on Halloween

176
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.759
too, right, you think that's
you think there's probably a lot going on.

177
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.759
Yeah, I imagine that's a nightmare
for police every year. Yeah,

178
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:26.720
Like, what do you take serious? You know? Yeah, Luke,

179
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.039
it's your time. Let me cueue
up the music. So the title of

180
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:37.240
this is Shadows over the House in
the Desert. When I was ten years

181
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.759
old, I lived in the desert
outside of Tucson, Arizona. There,

182
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:46.919
my mother and I lived in a
house with their significant other, Rick.

183
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:52.480
I would have fun playing outside in
the sand and playing around the cacti.

184
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.200
Who's a decent place. Our closest
neighbor was a mile down the dirt,

185
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:03.440
dusty dirt road, no one else
around for good hike Down behind the house

186
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:07.960
was a railroad track trained to go
by once in a blue moon, and

187
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.840
the distant whistle could be heard faintly
from our house. Everything was going well

188
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:18.720
until Rick's mother passed away. Once
that happened, he changed. He became

189
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:24.879
more aggressive. It was understandable considering
the tragedy, but kept getting worse.

190
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:30.840
Each day. He seemed to become
more and more disturbed. My mother was

191
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:33.159
not a religious woman, but one
night she felt the need to pray.

192
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:39.399
She prayed for me for herself and
for him. She went to place her

193
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.000
hand on him as she prayed.
As soon as her handmade contact, Rick

194
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:48.960
shot up, gasping, two light
must get to the dark. And he

195
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.840
left the bed and went to go
sleep on the couch. My mom was

196
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.240
terrified, unsure of what to do. After a minute, she got out

197
00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:00.720
of bed to go check on him. He was dead asleep. She tried

198
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:05.639
talking to him. Rick started muttering
about trains. She wasn't sure what he

199
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:09.519
was on about. Then second later, the distance sound of the train could

200
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:15.720
be heard. Since Rick started changing, I had also been experiencing phenomena.

201
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:20.200
Each night I would go to bed, couldn't sleep. There was something there.

202
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:26.960
It wasn't the usual shadows cast by
things that make monsters in a kid's

203
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:31.639
mind. Now this was real.
There were a dozen shadow figures standing in

204
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:39.000
my room. Very clear, black
figures with distinctly human shape stood around the

205
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.679
room looking at me. They had
no features, but I knew they were

206
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:48.399
looking at me. They were there
every night, couldn't sleep. Each night

207
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:56.559
they became clearer and less like shadows. They became these bluish creatures with pure

208
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.440
red eyes and sharp teeth jutted out
of their mouth, but still had the

209
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:07.639
shape of humans. They were always
looking at me, and now they had

210
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.720
features. I could see they were
smiling. All of this came to the

211
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:16.399
head On my birthday. Rick and
my mother were in an argument. I

212
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.720
was told to step outside. I
did so I couldn't hear them. After

213
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:26.240
that, I sat outside for several
minutes. Suddenly every fiber of my being

214
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:31.279
told me to go back into the
house. I ran back inside and I

215
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:35.840
saw Rick rage to strike my mother
in the head. I yelled, He

216
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.840
stopped, brother ran to me,
and we ran out the door. We

217
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.559
got into the truck and drove off
as fast as we could. As we

218
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:48.279
drove away, Rick through a rock
that cracked the rear the window. We

219
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:52.600
never returned to the house. We
never saw Rick again, and I have

220
00:15:52.720 --> 00:16:00.159
never seen another shadow person. Yeah, that's creepy. I guess a lot

221
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.600
of times you hear about these entities
that have that appear and stuff. Sometimes

222
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:08.440
negative energy can attract them. Some
people would say, right, that was

223
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:14.159
my thought process on the whole thing. That seemed like what he was going

224
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:19.440
through brought something into that house.
Yeah, that is terrifying. Uh So

225
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.919
people are sitting here that gave me
serious chills people. Yeah, yeah,

226
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.039
me too. So people are saying, is they come in along their live

227
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:30.840
I think it was interesting that they
went into the detail about seeing the features.

228
00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:36.679
Yeah, typically you don't talk about
shadow people and facial features. That

229
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:40.519
was something I thought was interesting too. You know, he mentioned that first

230
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:45.679
they didn't and then each night,
as things got progressively worse, they became

231
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:52.039
more full featured. And I actually
had never heard of a shadow person becoming

232
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:59.440
like this, like bluish uh looking
or whatever, and having these sharp teeth.

233
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.200
So that was a different spin off
from me. I thought that was

234
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:07.680
interesting, and I thought that,
you know, it seems like someone can

235
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:14.000
be made to be worse under these
conditions too, like Rick was clearly getting

236
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:18.039
worse as their influence grew. Also, it just seemed like there was some

237
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:22.319
sort they're feeding off each other almost
kind of thing. Makes you wonder if

238
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:26.000
when he had the tragedy happen,
you said his mother had passed away.

239
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:30.079
Story said that, excuse me,
It makes you wonder if that, like,

240
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:34.079
if that leaves a person vulnerable for
like that sort of thing to happen

241
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:38.440
to them. I believe so,
Yeah, assuming something has I don't want

242
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:44.519
to overtaken. It's like such a
strong thing has got somehow involved with him.

243
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:45.359
I don't know how it's to word
it, you know what I'm saying,

244
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:52.599
though, absolutely I do believe so. I think it depends on the

245
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:57.039
person. It depends on how the
person that you knew passed away. I

246
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:02.960
think those things all contribute to what
could happen to you. And I do

247
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:07.920
believe that certain things will leave you
more vulnerable to some sort of darkness,

248
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.920
you know, something that you don't
want to have in you. It all

249
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.240
comes down to how how you let
it affect you. Someone asked, do

250
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:18.960
you think they could see them clear? Because it was getting worse, like

251
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:25.920
progressively worse. I think that was
making the entity become more visible. I

252
00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:33.400
think it was the whole tragedy of
the situation forcing itself on his mind that

253
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:38.240
allowed him to perceive these things.
It was like stripping away the barrier between

254
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:45.079
one world and another. Yeah,
that's terrifying. I think it's It's fortunate

255
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.920
though, that when they got out
of the situation, they didn't experience it

256
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.680
anymore. Like it's not something that
followed them, this evil thing or whatever

257
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.400
it was. Yeah, yeah,
it seemed like it was there in that

258
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:00.839
house. He was ten at the
time, and I kind of wonder what

259
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:04.680
happened to this Rick after that.
You know, they never saw him again.

260
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:08.759
He's ten years old at the time. We don't know what happened with

261
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:14.079
him, the Rick guy ever again, but we do know that it ended

262
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:17.519
and escalated to the point where he's
chasing down the car and threw a rock

263
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:21.880
at it as they were leaving his
So they lived at Rick's house, I

264
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:25.079
assume, Yeah, moved in with
Rick, and this was like the one

265
00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:27.079
night it all escalated and that's when
they decided to get out of there.

266
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:33.079
Yeah, it was when he was
already actually hit his wives. Yeah,

267
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:37.319
so they never saw him again.
Yeah, probably for the best. Yeah,

268
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:40.799
definitely just wonder what happened with the
guy though. Can't imagine it ended

269
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:44.319
well, No, I wouldn't think
so. Okay, move on to the

270
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.240
next story. I'm excited about this
story. It's got video with it.

271
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:51.599
I don't know how familiar you are
with the Mac's Headroom signal hijacking in nineteen

272
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:55.359
eighty seven. I know a bit
about it. Yeah, we're going to

273
00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:59.480
talk about that tonight. A lot
of people consider this to be really scary

274
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.720
to me, it's almost humorous,
but I can see where it's pretty freaky

275
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.599
too though. Oh yeah, and
this is a well known thing, but

276
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.480
there's got to be people watching this
right now that have not heard of this,

277
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:15.240
and I'm excited to share that with
him. Sound good? Okay?

278
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:19.559
So yeah, this is the Max
Headroom signal hijacking. On the night of

279
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:23.599
November twenty second, nineteen eighty seven, the television signals of two stations in

280
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:30.000
Chicago, Illinois were hijacked, briefly
sending a pirate broadcast of an unidentified person

281
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:36.119
wearing a Max Headroom mask and costume
to thousands of home viewers. So,

282
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:38.039
just to go to a little bit
of a backstory here on what or who

283
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:44.000
rather Max Headroom is. He's a
fictional character that they really got going in

284
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:45.799
the eighties. I think it was
actually played by an actor. But this

285
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:52.440
is advertised as like the first computer
generated TV host TV presenter. It was

286
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:59.240
clearly just an actor. I think
they makeup on him and other prosthetic things

287
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:03.759
and contact lenses, and I think
the way they shot with the camera they

288
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:07.279
tried to make it look like this
was an AI generated person. The lighting

289
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:10.519
looked weird, right, and he
would have this weird the background to be

290
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:15.319
moving these like straight bars had been
moving behind him, and he actually caught

291
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:18.119
on. I think it started as
like he had like a television series and

292
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:22.319
stuff. He caught on to the
point where I believe major companies were using

293
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:26.079
him, like Coca Cola for other
advertisements things like that. He was well

294
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:30.200
known. Put it that away.
This is not the first time this had

295
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:33.240
happened with the broadcast television. There
was a real notable event that happened the

296
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:41.599
year before with HBO where somebody had
hijacked the HBO signal and broadcast at a

297
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:48.400
message essentially complained about the price jack
and then I don't want to mess up

298
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:51.279
the terminology, but HBO basically made
it where you weren't going to see it

299
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:53.319
for free anymore. They would mess
with the image. I think they called

300
00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:56.799
it scrambled it. So this wasn't
a new event, new thing that happened,

301
00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:02.559
But this is definitely like probably the
most notable one. Obviously there's stories

302
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:06.319
that go back to like War of
the World's plan on radio and stuff like

303
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:08.720
that, but this one is pretty
creepy. So we'll get into it here.

304
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:11.599
Okay, So yeah, like I
said. This was the night of

305
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:15.400
November twenty second, nineteen eighty seven. This takes place in Chicago, Illinois.

306
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:21.160
The first hijacking of the radio of
the airwave took place at nine to

307
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:26.200
fourteen PM during a sports segment on
WGN's TVs the nine o'clock news. Home

308
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:30.880
viewer screens went black for about fifteen
seconds before footage of a person wearing a

309
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:37.079
Max Headroom mask and sunglasses is displayed. The individual rocks erratically in front of

310
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:42.359
the rotating metal panel behind him.
You could tell it's it's somebody in a

311
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:48.400
Max Headroom costume, but they're trying
to mimic this background that's moving around.

312
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:51.839
Like we talked about, it was
just a bunch of buzzing sounds on this

313
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:56.000
first one is as if the audio
did not go through, so it was

314
00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:00.759
strange. This lasted about twenty seconds
and was cut off when the engineers that

315
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:04.599
were on shift then change the frequency
of the signal linking the broadcast studio to

316
00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:11.319
the transmitter on top of the John
Hancock Center. I do have a video

317
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.960
to share of this first event when
they're able to take over the this particular

318
00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:26.960
news channel, slowt me pull it
up here dumps of the five McMahon McKennon

319
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:56.480
fourteen nothing bears. Well, if
you're wondering what's happened so on, I

320
00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:00.400
actually the computer that we have running
our news from time to time took off

321
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.160
and went wild. So what we're
gonna do is tart over from the top

322
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:06.759
of the bears and tell you once
again about the thirty to ten victory they

323
00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:11.839
had over Detroit today out of Soldier
Field. So yeah, this first instance

324
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:17.480
goes by, and the news crew
on shift actually acknowledges it, right,

325
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:22.039
they don't know what happened. Back
then, funky things would happen sometimes,

326
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:27.359
like what you were trying to display
would get scrambled or whatever it get stuck

327
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:30.720
on the screen, So they're not
really sure what happened at this point in

328
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:36.920
time. Like I said, there's
no audio. It's just a brief interruption.

329
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:40.000
I think how long did I say, maybe fifteen seconds? I think

330
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:44.200
the whole thing went on twenty seconds
in total, So just weird. Nine

331
00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:48.559
to fourteen at night is a very
is a primetime television time, right,

332
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:51.559
I mean, And they kind of
blew it off and said it was the

333
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:56.559
computer doing funky things, which I
guess back then probably people didn't really know

334
00:24:56.599 --> 00:24:59.000
as much about computers either, right, so they're just like, hey,

335
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:02.720
that this is just this is a
computer acting funky. Right, moving on

336
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:07.079
later in the night, This is
at about eleven twenty pm, and that

337
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:08.519
is the same night. However,
this is a different station. The first

338
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:17.640
one was WGNTV that eleven twenty pm
on WTTW. It's the essentially the local

339
00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:22.680
signal for the PBS station. It
was interrupted during Doctor Who. It was

340
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.559
a horror of fang Rock, which
I'm not familiar with that, but the

341
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:30.680
culprit of this hijacking of the airwave
was the same. It was the Max

342
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:37.359
Headroom impersonator, and this time audio
actually came through. Let's just go ahead

343
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:41.799
and share that clip before we discuss
it. This is where things get freaky.

344
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:45.160
You should go with the old ones
of your child. But the only

345
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:52.680
way to learn, I'll get you
a hot drink. You can fourteen r

346
00:25:55.279 --> 00:26:33.359
checks, worsening ocasions, special years, the way you don't get social bars.

347
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:51.559
Oh I guess they are giant blast
you spa home the greatest girls newspapers

348
00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:22.319
Remember when you were the other one? Small as I can tell the mass.

349
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:29.880
Yeah, freaky, so we'll go
on with the description of the events

350
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:34.119
here. The mass figure made a
comment about nerds, calling WGN sportscaster Chuck

351
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:38.440
Sworsky a freaking liberal, held up
a can at Pepsi while saying catch the

352
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:41.160
wave. That's a slogan from the
campaign for Coca Cola. That what we

353
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:45.759
were talking about the Max Headroom character
was doing, and held up the middle

354
00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:49.119
finger inside what appears to be a
hollowed out sex toy. The figure then

355
00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:53.200
ran through a series of quick comments
and in song snippets with exciting noises and

356
00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:59.200
explanations, Max saying the phrase your
love is fading on part of the theme

357
00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:03.640
song for the nineteen fifty nine animated
series Clutch Cargo, and he then said

358
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.000
I still see the X. This
was a reference to the last episode of

359
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:15.240
that show. He also started rambling
randomly about the files and explained that he

360
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:22.440
had made a giant masterpiece for the
Greatest World Newspaper Nerds. WGN's call letters

361
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:26.000
actually stood for World's Greatest Newspaper could
have just mixed up there, and he

362
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:32.039
was describing sharing dirty gloves with his
brother. After a crude video edit,

363
00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:36.839
the person had mostly off screen at
this point. He had his partially exposed,

364
00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:40.720
but talks visible from the side with
a female figure wearing a French made

365
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:44.000
costume what appears to be a mask. This is on the right side of

366
00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:48.000
the frame. She is spaking him
with the fly'swater and he was holding the

367
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:52.400
mask out there for a second before
that and scream and I know they're coming,

368
00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:56.480
make it stop. The female,
like I said, figure was spanking

369
00:28:56.559 --> 00:29:00.839
him flyswater. The image faded into
static, then viewers were returned to the

370
00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:07.119
doctor who broadcast this is a total
interruption about ninety seconds. Technicians at the

371
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:11.839
stations could not counteract to takeover because
there were no engineers on duty when this

372
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:17.039
happened. So this was a serious
tower now known as Willis Tower. I

373
00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:21.920
guess where the station's broadcast tower was
located. According to the station spokesperson,

374
00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:27.079
technicians monitoring the transmission from the headquarters
attempted to take countermeasures but couldn't. The

375
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:33.480
director recalled that as the content got
weirder, we got increasingly stressed out about

376
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:40.000
our inability to do anything. The
pirate broadcast actually ended because the pirates transmitted

377
00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:44.480
and ended it. By the time
the people really got into looking what was

378
00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:48.880
going on, it was already over
with. They received a bunch of phone

379
00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:53.119
calls about this. Then some experts
FCC gets involved in stuff, and the

380
00:29:53.200 --> 00:30:00.279
broadcast intrusion was archived by sending a
more powerful microwave transmission to this broadcast towers.

381
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:04.880
Then the stations were sending themselves,
triggering a capture effect. This was

382
00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:10.359
a difficult task in nineteen eighty seven, but was possible before American television stations

383
00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:14.440
switched from analog to digital signals in
two thousand and nine. But even so,

384
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:18.519
we've seen things happen with the digital
signals. It's just not quite as

385
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:22.200
easy to do, I guess.
Experts have said that this stunt required extensive

386
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:26.920
technical expertise and a significant amount of
transmitting power, and that the pirate broadcast

387
00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:33.400
likely originated from in the line of
sight of both station broad broadcast towers.

388
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:37.680
No one has ever claimed responsibility for
this. There's a lot of speculation out

389
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:42.000
there about the identity of this Max
person. Really, nothing solid has ever

390
00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:47.039
come out of this. People have
said it's former employees upset with station.

391
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:52.039
People have tried to connect to various
other people. Nothing's ever come of it.

392
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:56.920
Soon after the investigation, FCC official
quoted it in news reporting that perpetrators

393
00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:00.759
would phase A five, which excuse
me, face a maximum fine of ten

394
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:03.960
thousand dollars then up to a year
in prison. However, the five year

395
00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:08.720
statute limitation has done long past.
No one's ever been identified in the case

396
00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:15.680
of who did this? I love
that so much. I guess it's crazy

397
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:22.200
and messed up, right, but
I loved how like crazy early television,

398
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:26.200
you know, eighties television was out, like there's no security at all.

399
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:33.400
You just needed a lot of electrical
power and an antenna and you could blow

400
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:38.599
out their transmission and take it over. That's so crazy. Yeah, what

401
00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:42.039
happened where it didn't really work the
first time? I get somebody was there

402
00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:45.200
working. First of all, they're
able to counter it, but it's like

403
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:48.799
the audio didn't go through. I
guess it must be when you're intercepting a

404
00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:52.759
signal. Maybe it varies. I
think they had just enough power to get

405
00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:56.119
on the screen, but not enough
to blow out their audio entirely. Do

406
00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:00.480
you think this is scary to some
people watching it? Absolutely? Yeah,

407
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:04.160
I mean it's crazy. This is
a crazy person doing this. I mean,

408
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:08.079
obviously, whoever did it is slightly
unhinged, and so you have a

409
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:13.799
person that has it's like the Joker
and in Batman he takes over the airwaves

410
00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:19.759
at one point and he does a
broadcast like this in the mac Michael Keaton

411
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:22.920
Batman. I thank even so,
Yeah, this is something crazy person would

412
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:29.799
do, and if they actually applied
themselves, they could be a terrifying person.

413
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:32.519
Yeah, we got a lot of
comments saying things like that unstable person.

414
00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:36.599
Then people are asking why would they
come forward now? Right like it's

415
00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:38.400
all done. They can't get in
trouble for it. Nobody has a claim

416
00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:42.359
responsibility for it, though it seems
like something you'd be like, Oh,

417
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:45.240
I did that. You know it's
crazy, as I'm sure you are.

418
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:49.559
Besides the people who did it,
I'm sure that there are a lot of

419
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:53.319
people in deeper par pockets of the
Internet who know who did it. And

420
00:32:54.519 --> 00:32:59.319
I don't understand why no one's coming
forward. That is super weird because there's

421
00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:04.319
more than just a people who were
there who know guaranteed they probably told somebody

422
00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:07.799
at some point. A lot of
people are so sure it's an inside job.

423
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:10.680
I'm not so sure. Yeah.
So, like you mentioned early on

424
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:15.480
in the HBO thing, which happened
like the year before or something like that.

425
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:22.839
Yeah, so that was a guy
who who did run like another station

426
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:27.839
and he just sucked hijack. Yeah, he hijacked their signal to you know

427
00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:35.480
everything like that. So like these
people probably had access to some stuff and

428
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:37.839
they just decided to use it for
something crazy. Like they weren't like part

429
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:44.359
of WGN or it was WGN,
Is that right? The first one is

430
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:47.960
WGN, the second was wttw okay
yeah, yeah, so I don't believe

431
00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:52.599
they were affiliated with either of those
two stations, but they were definitely people

432
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:55.559
who worked at some other station because
they knew at least the broadcasting power.

433
00:33:57.240 --> 00:34:00.640
So when I was researching the HBO
in the INI happened here before, they

434
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:06.079
were talking about how there for a
while they were like both amping up their

435
00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:10.440
power to see who it who could
take over the frequency. But HBO actually

436
00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:15.360
backed off because they were worried that
it would blow their trans I get like

437
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:17.760
blow a transmitter. I don't know
now to describe it. They're worried that

438
00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:22.639
it would damage their satellite if they
continue to up their power. So that's

439
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:25.360
why, I mean, that's why
they like let it go. Yeah,

440
00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:30.719
it's really crazy. And like I
said, That's something I really like about

441
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:36.960
that era of TV and radio and
stuff like that. Radio is still saying

442
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:42.079
what you can build a little FM
transmitter and then pump in a lot of

443
00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:47.440
electricity and you'll overpower the local FM
radio. They gather this HBO got like

444
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:52.760
a one year probation in his ham
radio license second way for a year or

445
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:55.280
something like that. That sounds about
right, Yeah, you see, it's

446
00:34:55.360 --> 00:35:01.760
weird like these uh these uh fi
and like everything seems a little low.

447
00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:06.559
But after but because of the HBO
thing, they made a federal offense.

448
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:09.880
Oh did they? Yeah, so
that's why the person didn't come forward then

449
00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:15.199
yeah, but now so long later, it's like, why would you not

450
00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:17.559
do that? Let's talk about the
obscene gestures he was doing though, Luke,

451
00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:22.320
that was gross, Like it's a
gross thing to do. It's a

452
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:25.800
gross person to do that, and
light because you don't know who's gonna be

453
00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:30.480
watching this. Granted this was at
like eleven o'clock at night and but eleven

454
00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:37.280
twenty, but this was still a
PBS station like oh broadcasting SISH. They

455
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:39.519
interviewed a couple kids, They interviewed
like a bunch of different people, Like

456
00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:43.440
I saw news reports. Some people
were like it was funny. Some people

457
00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:46.880
were basically called them terrorists. Some
people were kids are staying they're scared.

458
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:50.920
There's like a bunch of different It
was a mixed reaction, but some people

459
00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:54.239
were legitimately freaked out. So here's
the thing. These people are deliberately doing

460
00:35:54.719 --> 00:35:59.360
weird, gross stuff like that when
they know it was a good chance to

461
00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:01.639
kid it is going to be on
the other side of that, and so

462
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:07.639
yeah, that's a terrifyingly gross thing
to do. It's a weird thing to

463
00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:10.320
do. I just think it's funny
that it was even impossible to be done.

464
00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:15.079
Like it's you know, technology has
changed so much. They like you

465
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:20.440
said, it can still technically be
done in some instances, but it's a

466
00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:24.199
lot harder. That's definitely pumped a
lot of power. I saw one where

467
00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:30.000
this had happened in the last fifteen
years, I believe, Oh where was

468
00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:31.519
it. I don't know. If
it's a Montana, I don't know.

469
00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:37.199
But somebody was able to hijack like
the emergency system, so it came on

470
00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:40.960
or like you know, like public
service, like emergency service announcement, and

471
00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:44.960
they said the zombies. They basically
said the dead was coming back to alive.

472
00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:50.320
The person caught and got in trouble. But it's still possible. But

473
00:36:50.480 --> 00:36:53.559
it definitely seems like what it was
analog that was kind of like a free

474
00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:58.760
for all that. Yeah, I
remember when that happened. Actually, well

475
00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:00.719
I don't remember the year, obviously, I remember hearing about it. That

476
00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:08.760
reminds me of another story in Hawaii
when it wasn't someone hijacked the emergency broadcasts,

477
00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:15.000
but someone made a mistake with the
emergency broadcast and they broadcasted a nuke

478
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:19.760
was on the way. Wow.
And this happened I think maybe six or

479
00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:23.320
seven years ago. It wasn't very
long ago now, and so a lot

480
00:37:23.320 --> 00:37:28.960
of people believed they were gonna die. So it caused about like it was

481
00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:34.719
like fifteen fifteen, twenty minutes of
just pure chaos. I had someone said,

482
00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:39.480
doctor, who got a little more
PG? Maybe at thirteen? I

483
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:45.199
had to blurry out the butt talks. Yeah, like I've seen the unblurred

484
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:51.119
video at one point, So you
did. I fear it's more appropriate,

485
00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:53.079
it's not really Definitely get the point. You get the point. I mean,

486
00:37:53.119 --> 00:37:57.639
it's gross, it's weird. Why
the hell did we do that?

487
00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:01.119
Definitely several people involved, that there's
a person filming it, just twisting the

488
00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:05.639
camera trying to create this effect.
You got a person in a French made

489
00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:07.840
outfit, so there's not just one
person behind it. Yeah, and the

490
00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:14.800
French maid was definitely a female person. Yes, Yeah, people were really

491
00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:19.639
You could basically come to the conclusion
this wasn't live, it was recorded because

492
00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:23.000
the cut in the video. Yeah, I guess the creepy part is.

493
00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:27.159
The scary part is what was the
purpose? Was there a message they were

494
00:38:27.199 --> 00:38:30.840
trying to give or because nobody really
got it. People have their opinion on

495
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:35.599
things, but I think it was
a narcissistic sociopath kind of saying, like

496
00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:38.239
they were just like, hey,
we could do this. These people are

497
00:38:38.280 --> 00:38:43.840
stupid. We can just do this
ourselves and mess with everybody. And they

498
00:38:44.119 --> 00:38:46.559
think they knew no one was working
to counter it. I think so.

499
00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:50.920
Yeah, I think that they knew, well, they probably guessed that nobody

500
00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:52.760
was gonna be there, and they
probably figured, well, we got enough

501
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:58.159
juice, we can pull this off
and we'll be legends because everybone's gonna be

502
00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:01.639
talking about us for the next thirty
years. People still are. Do you

503
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:05.599
think the scary part is that this
could be done though, Like what else

504
00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:08.079
could happen? Yeah, because like
you know, they could have done stuff

505
00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:13.480
that you have more malicious if they
wanted to. Yeah, they showed a

506
00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:19.320
definite flaw in the system and all
you needed was power and you could do

507
00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:22.000
ever you want. You may never
know. It's like Cooper, they're playing

508
00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:25.079
guy, We'll never know, you
know. Yeah, so exactly like that

509
00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:29.960
may he may be a future story
right there. Yeah, there you go.

510
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:32.360
Uh, good one. I enjoyed
that one. I did too.

511
00:39:32.599 --> 00:39:36.239
I didn't know that's what you were
going to go do. And I'm really

512
00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:37.960
excited about I'm glad that one was
the one we did. Yeah, it's

513
00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:47.280
awesome. So this one's a very
well documented notable case in UFO history.

514
00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:57.079
This is the Kelly Hopkinsville encounter,
is also known as the Hopkinsville Goblin case.

515
00:39:58.639 --> 00:40:04.440
On August twenty first, nineteen fifty
five, the Sutton that family from

516
00:40:04.599 --> 00:40:10.800
Kelly, Kentucky reported being terrorized by
small goblin like creatures that they believed to

517
00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:17.800
be exterrestrial in origin. It began
on a warm summer night in fifty five

518
00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:24.519
when Elmer Sutton and Billy Ray Taylor, who has visiting the Sutton family residents

519
00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:31.960
went outside to investigate strange noises they
had heard. According to Sutton and Taylor,

520
00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:38.000
they were confronted by a small creature
with large eyes, a pointed head,

521
00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:45.840
and long, spindly arms and legs. The creature was described as standing

522
00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:52.119
around three feet tall and having a
metallic or reflective skin. Two men panicked

523
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:57.400
and ran back into the house,
where they told the other occupants of the

524
00:40:57.480 --> 00:41:01.679
house, including Sutton's wife and his
chill children, about the creature. The

525
00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:07.280
family quickly locked all the doors and
windows and armed themselves with guns, expecting

526
00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:13.719
the creature to return. However,
instead of one creature, they soon found

527
00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:21.159
themselves under attack by multiple creatures upwards
of fifteen, which they describe as being

528
00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:27.119
similar in apparents to the first they
had seen. The creatures reportedly began banging

529
00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:31.000
on the doors and windows and making
strange noises, causing the family to fear

530
00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:37.719
for their lives. The family reported
that the creatures were not human and had

531
00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:43.320
glowing red eyes. They also reported
that the creatures admitted a high pitched whining

532
00:41:43.480 --> 00:41:47.599
noise. The family held out through
the night, firing shots at the creatures,

533
00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:53.119
but the bullets had no effect.
The creatures continued to bang on the

534
00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:58.000
doors and windows, but eventually left
in the early hours of the morning.

535
00:41:58.920 --> 00:42:02.639
During the encounter, the family also
reported that the creatures had a distinct smell,

536
00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:09.639
described it as a burning sulfur smell. They also reported the creatures had

537
00:42:09.719 --> 00:42:17.760
strange, hard skin, seemingly there
was almost mirror like. The creatures had

538
00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:22.440
long arms, as they said,
and legs, and they were able to

539
00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:30.639
move quickly and with great agility despite
their small size. It's worth noting that

540
00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:37.480
the Sutton's family account of the incident
was consistent and detailed, as they stuck

541
00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:44.199
to their story even under intense questioning
and skepticism. This, along with the

542
00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:49.719
evidence found by police, leads credibility
to their claims of an extraordinary encounter.

543
00:42:50.719 --> 00:42:54.079
The next day, the Sutton family
recorded incident to the police. We went

544
00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:59.800
to the Sutton residence to investigate.
They found no evidence of the creatures or

545
00:42:59.840 --> 00:43:02.760
in need damage to the doors or
windows, but they did find evidence of

546
00:43:02.920 --> 00:43:09.480
bullets having been fired from inside the
house out They also found footprints that they

547
00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:15.519
said were of the size of a
child's footprints all around the house. Family

548
00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:22.079
insisted that the creatures were not human. The incident quickly gained national attention and

549
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:29.360
became one of the most well known
cases of alleged alien interaction. Case was

550
00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:34.960
investigated by the military, the FBI, and private investigators. No concrete evidence

551
00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:39.159
was turned up to support the family's
claims. One theory is that the family

552
00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:47.239
was suffering from hallucinations or mass hysteria, but this did not explain the showing

553
00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:54.000
up of the footprints. Some people
said that what they encountered was a screech

554
00:43:54.079 --> 00:44:00.239
owl, which can get large and
make the noise, but once again does

555
00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:07.360
not have the footprints that match that
of a small human child. Another theory

556
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:10.400
was that it was mischievous teenagers.
They're playing a frank on them, but

557
00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:15.000
once again, none of them were
found. There was no evidence of them

558
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:20.920
being shot. And this was a
family of hunters. Their aim was usually

559
00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:25.599
pretty true. Until they had passed
away. None of the family members had

560
00:44:25.679 --> 00:44:31.880
ever changed their story. It remained
consistent for the rest of their lives.

561
00:44:35.199 --> 00:44:39.159
Lots unpacked with this well known story. Like you said, great horned owls,

562
00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:43.639
that is what they were always saying. It was such a stretch,

563
00:44:43.679 --> 00:44:46.039
isn't it. There were fifteen great
horn owls hanging out, you know,

564
00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:51.400
that's the thing, right, you
see one owl, and that's kind of

565
00:44:51.480 --> 00:44:55.440
just rare occurrence. Some people have
never seen an owl. Yeah, I've

566
00:44:55.599 --> 00:45:00.719
only seen an owl, like where
I could see the whole in the zoo

567
00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:07.239
and like I've seen herd owls in
my backyards. They sound crazy, like

568
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:13.280
they sound like some sort of monster. But yeah, I've only seen one.

569
00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:17.360
Right to see that many in the
whole family beforeting the same number,

570
00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:22.960
that sounds insane. This is actually
it was actually a Project blue Book case,

571
00:45:22.039 --> 00:45:27.440
wasn't this? Yes, a Project
blue Book determined that it was not

572
00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:32.079
aliens, because that's what Project blue
Book depths, regardless of anything that happens,

573
00:45:32.119 --> 00:45:36.039
to go in there and say it's
something else. Yeah, uh,

574
00:45:36.360 --> 00:45:38.000
this is a really popular one.
You are a kidd. This is like

575
00:45:38.119 --> 00:45:42.159
in a time too where that was
really that kind of stuff is really starting

576
00:45:42.239 --> 00:45:47.519
to pop off. Yeah, yeah, like fifties, really big time.

577
00:45:47.719 --> 00:45:52.519
It was the fifties, right,
yeah, nineteen fifty five. A lot

578
00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:54.840
of people are commenting that people they
actually started firing at them, which is

579
00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:59.159
actually I remember them saying that,
like their house was full of bullet holes

580
00:45:59.199 --> 00:46:02.400
and stuff. Yeah, they fired
their guns. That's something you releas sudden

581
00:46:04.280 --> 00:46:07.920
ell or sudden and the guy who
was visiting definitely did, and I believe

582
00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:12.000
the wife also fired at them.
Some people just say they're intoxicated them.

583
00:46:12.079 --> 00:46:15.440
They try to write it off as
that, so that the police that investigated

584
00:46:15.480 --> 00:46:17.760
didn't cout to that conclusion though I
don't think if I remember, they did

585
00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:22.440
not. And also the kids also
reported seeing these things as well. How

586
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:30.960
does mass hysteria work? Mass hysteria
is a very un It exists so like

587
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:37.119
someone could say they saw something and
then suddenly someone who is susceptible to it

588
00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:42.960
will also see it. It normally
is some people who are sick or under

589
00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:47.519
some sort of duress already will will
experience it. It is unusual, though,

590
00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:53.199
for it to happen so fast and
with people of such varying. Like

591
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:57.760
I said, this happened to the
adults and the children. Wasn't just one

592
00:46:57.960 --> 00:47:00.760
or the other. They really try
to write them off. There's meteor showers

593
00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:06.559
going on that night, There was
metreat Owls have yellow eyes, right,

594
00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:07.960
that's the thing, Like they said, meteor shower. Why do you bring

595
00:47:08.119 --> 00:47:12.880
up meteor showers if you're so sure
it was the owls? But they always

596
00:47:12.920 --> 00:47:15.039
do. They always bring up both
things. It's like, why would media

597
00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:20.880
showers lead them to believe that there
was a metallic creature with long, spin

598
00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:23.480
ling arms and legs that was three
feet tall? You know this doesn't make

599
00:47:23.559 --> 00:47:25.920
sense. Let me ask you this, How do you think this would be

600
00:47:25.960 --> 00:47:31.039
handled today? Knowing that the last
oh, I don't know, five years,

601
00:47:31.159 --> 00:47:36.400
four years, three years has been
pretty much more have come out about

602
00:47:36.440 --> 00:47:42.760
this, right, Yeah, you
see a lot of declassified Navy UFO sightings

603
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:46.440
and stuff like that. Now where
it becomes like, hmm, what how

604
00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:50.039
have we all been seeing this whole
time? And why is it that you

605
00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:53.639
have all this classified information on it? Yeah? I would think that today,

606
00:47:54.519 --> 00:47:58.880
I don't know, maybe they wouldn't
be written off so quickly. I

607
00:47:58.920 --> 00:48:00.800
don't Yeah, I agree with that. How would you handle this situation?

608
00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:04.679
If that's happening to you, would
you be firing through house? Too?

609
00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:07.800
Oh? Yeah? If I see
a bunch of these things smashing against my

610
00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:09.719
window, yeah, I want to
open fire. Same here. I don't

611
00:48:09.760 --> 00:48:13.519
even it's an owl. I want
to shoot an owl that's like smashing into

612
00:48:13.559 --> 00:48:16.519
my doors? Yeah, like smacking
my door. There's fifteen of them,

613
00:48:16.599 --> 00:48:21.760
fifteen freaking ours. I've only seen
two or three probably in my life.

614
00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:24.239
Yeah, that's just being in the
woods at night. My daddy just made

615
00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:28.360
me go hunting. Some guy had
a joke about it. It's like,

616
00:48:28.519 --> 00:48:31.119
how many times do you have to
see something that is kind of normal before

617
00:48:31.159 --> 00:48:35.000
you start to get terrified? And
it's like, yeah, we see an

618
00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:37.079
owl, that's like, oh,
that's kind of it's alling out today.

619
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:40.159
You start to see two or three
owls, then you call your mom and

620
00:48:40.760 --> 00:48:45.920
start selling to prey, right,
yeah, see, yeahs normal. Yeah,

621
00:48:46.639 --> 00:48:51.679
man, I just I wonder how
close the nearest by house was.

622
00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:53.559
The nearest house was, you know, I didn't look that up. I

623
00:48:53.559 --> 00:48:57.480
should have. I should have seen
how close their neighbors were, because I'm

624
00:48:57.480 --> 00:49:01.559
sure it's documented somewhere. Yeah,
it's definitely a strange phenomenon that I don't

625
00:49:01.599 --> 00:49:04.719
know. I don't know what I
do if I experienced it, because it's

626
00:49:04.760 --> 00:49:08.280
just such an odd ball thing.
It's truly, uh man, it's just

627
00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:13.400
crazy and mesori. See. I
think it's kind of like the It has

628
00:49:13.480 --> 00:49:17.239
that like black dog effect, right, like you don't really know you saw

629
00:49:17.320 --> 00:49:22.199
the dog, bett't you the black
dog. I've heard truckers talk about it

630
00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:25.800
on the yard to say it comes
to take everything away from it, and

631
00:49:25.960 --> 00:49:30.440
it did. It took everything away
from those people. People probably thought they

632
00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:34.000
were crazy forever. Did you see
them playing with the cards in the background

633
00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:36.679
of this st Yeah, atally had
these cards here, but it seems like

634
00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:39.400
people were jerked towards those people.
They did. Yeah, but you know

635
00:49:40.280 --> 00:49:43.800
that was the fifties, right,
You had to cover if there was something

636
00:49:43.840 --> 00:49:46.280
going on. They had to cover
it up because you know, it was

637
00:49:46.320 --> 00:49:52.039
the Cold War and things were crazy. You didn't want, uh there to

638
00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:58.440
we talk of monsters and you know, look stupid from the communists, you

639
00:49:58.519 --> 00:50:00.480
know, it was that. That's
what it was like, you know,

640
00:50:00.559 --> 00:50:05.360
aliens, the big eyes. Yeah, oh, just the black dog.

641
00:50:06.199 --> 00:50:08.599
Yeah. Someone said that they see
fifteen hours that are calling fifteen owls.

642
00:50:08.599 --> 00:50:13.079
They're calling Max Headroom. I don't
know if he would be able to help

643
00:50:13.119 --> 00:50:17.000
you or or or there's another person
says they would call Jean the Kodiak bear

644
00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:22.880
guy. Oh, Geneo, he
take care of it you if they're aliens,

645
00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:25.920
he would take care Yeah, with
his bare hands. Yeah, he

646
00:50:27.199 --> 00:50:30.519
punched the bear and ended its life. Yeah, that's crazy. That's still

647
00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:35.159
the craziest thing we've talked about on
here, and he still has the bear

648
00:50:35.239 --> 00:50:37.519
hanging up. Just think if they
could have got their hands on one of

649
00:50:37.519 --> 00:50:40.400
these aliens, it can still have
the alien hanging up. Yeah. Yeah,

650
00:50:40.639 --> 00:50:45.840
Geo stuffed the alien for him.
Yeah, tags the germy that thing.

651
00:50:45.880 --> 00:50:49.480
That's a well known one. You're
right, that's a super popular one.

652
00:50:49.639 --> 00:50:52.480
It's a good one though. It
is freaky. It's creepy. It's

653
00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:58.039
like, I know that things could
happen where people would still like could all

654
00:50:58.960 --> 00:51:01.159
they're at the house, start thinking
they were imagining it. But that's like

655
00:51:01.239 --> 00:51:05.679
a large scale thing. Yeah,
it's not like this was like a fifteen

656
00:51:05.719 --> 00:51:09.400
minute thing too, Like they are
terrorized these creatures all night. Yeah,

657
00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:14.639
it was hours, and I wondered, like if they had called the cops,

658
00:51:14.639 --> 00:51:15.599
how quick they got there, Like
I wonder and all that. You

659
00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:21.920
know, So they left their What
I remember reading is they left their house

660
00:51:21.960 --> 00:51:25.039
about three point thirty and went to
town. And so it was like three

661
00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:30.400
thirty in the morning. They went
to town right after the creature stopped attacking

662
00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:36.119
the house, and then shortly after
people showed up sheriff station or whatever.

663
00:51:36.199 --> 00:51:39.239
They probably couldn't call, could they. Yeah, this is you know fifty

664
00:51:39.280 --> 00:51:43.639
five they had a way to call, and especially the out boonies like that,

665
00:51:43.719 --> 00:51:47.119
they're probably no even landlines. Just
try to hug her down for the

666
00:51:47.199 --> 00:51:50.480
night, then try to get help
the next day. Yeah, I hope

667
00:51:50.480 --> 00:51:53.400
you don't run at bullets you think
about that. Yeah, nineteen fifty five,

668
00:51:53.920 --> 00:51:58.639
probably no landline out to there,
and it was I don't know what

669
00:51:58.760 --> 00:52:00.960
the technology is even that, but
this is a rule Kentucky, right,

670
00:52:01.079 --> 00:52:06.039
So yeah, so like you take
the current level and you drop a down

671
00:52:06.159 --> 00:52:12.880
peg and yeah, they probably still
don't have landlines there. Poor people anyway,

672
00:52:13.280 --> 00:52:16.320
Uh, just kidding people of Kentucky. I love you. No one

673
00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:20.239
would believe you though. There's like
nothing you could say to make anybody believe

674
00:52:20.239 --> 00:52:23.159
you that happen to you not at
all. Makes you wonder how many people

675
00:52:23.199 --> 00:52:25.880
had things happen to them They just
don't say anything because they're like, nobody

676
00:52:25.920 --> 00:52:31.960
would ever believe me. Probably a
lot until the anomymous nature of the internet

677
00:52:32.239 --> 00:52:36.119
came out. But you can just
like say, hey, this happened to

678
00:52:36.159 --> 00:52:38.760
me, and then you don't have
to be like having your name attached to

679
00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:42.559
it so they can't make fun of
you. And shitn't I will say one

680
00:52:42.639 --> 00:52:44.960
thing. There's so many more cameras
and stuff these days. It makes you

681
00:52:45.039 --> 00:52:50.159
wonder why there's not something completely viral
if something captured. That's fair. I

682
00:52:50.239 --> 00:52:52.400
guess you see a lot of bigfoot
stuff too, though, But yeah,

683
00:52:52.559 --> 00:52:57.199
see lots of lights in the sky
and stuff like that. Yeah, UFOs

684
00:52:57.239 --> 00:52:59.880
are still captured, and there's some
things where the air, like the Kong

685
00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:04.360
Congress and the government's recognize that they
have no explanation for something, right.

686
00:53:04.480 --> 00:53:07.039
But yeah, still though, make
you wonter why somebody hasn't got one of

687
00:53:07.079 --> 00:53:10.159
these little black creatures on camera.
Yeah, that's a good point. Them

688
00:53:10.800 --> 00:53:15.800
gray horned owls really stick together.
They had the old population there in that.

689
00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:19.960
Yeah, property heard of them.
Yeah, I heard of owls.

690
00:53:20.360 --> 00:53:23.760
It's kind of terrifying in its own
right. Yeah, tacking your house.

691
00:53:23.880 --> 00:53:28.559
Man, If that heard of owls
attacking my house, I'd be fired through

692
00:53:28.559 --> 00:53:34.119
the Waltz too. Yeah, I
understand completely. Okay, let's see what

693
00:53:34.199 --> 00:53:37.880
somebody else said here. Even smaller
stories. People don't believe. Bill Murray

694
00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:42.400
walked up to someone's table and ate
their fries and said, no one will

695
00:53:42.480 --> 00:53:45.800
believe you. Who knows how this
story is real? Yeah, I guess

696
00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:50.880
that's true, right, I mean, that's don't know fun. But one

697
00:53:50.920 --> 00:53:53.639
thing about this particular story, though
it was a mainstream I think, like

698
00:53:54.880 --> 00:53:59.239
just like any other story, though
it changed over time where eventually it was

699
00:53:59.280 --> 00:54:01.320
like little greens, right, even
though they weren't described like that at all.

700
00:54:02.039 --> 00:54:06.599
Yeah, but this story made national
attention. Yeah. I mean this

701
00:54:06.800 --> 00:54:09.239
was like, you know, right
after Oswell happened, you know, not

702
00:54:09.360 --> 00:54:16.039
too long after, so like people
were on guard for alien stuff and this

703
00:54:16.280 --> 00:54:21.480
pops up and it's it's big news. Well I've got the last story of

704
00:54:21.519 --> 00:54:24.559
the night. No easy task after
what we've laid out thus far, forward

705
00:54:24.599 --> 00:54:28.599
to it. Well yeah, yeah, I mean that was a good one.

706
00:54:29.000 --> 00:54:30.159
We've had some good ones tonight this
will be the last one. Let

707
00:54:30.199 --> 00:54:39.159
me get the music going. This
is called Terrifying Uber story. I'm sharing

708
00:54:39.239 --> 00:54:44.440
this as a precautionary tale, and
I understand that most of this was my

709
00:54:44.639 --> 00:54:46.960
fault, but maybe if I can
help one person by telling my story,

710
00:54:47.000 --> 00:54:51.199
it's worth it. It's creepy as
hell, and I want people to learn

711
00:54:51.239 --> 00:54:54.159
from my experience. I don't drink
much as a general rule, but once

712
00:54:54.199 --> 00:54:58.239
a month or so I'll go out
with friends a few nights ago, my

713
00:54:58.280 --> 00:55:00.079
friends and I had a great night
at the bar in the city, and

714
00:55:00.239 --> 00:55:04.079
then they left. I was chatting
with a cute guy, so I decided

715
00:55:04.079 --> 00:55:07.679
to stay and went back to his
place. The rest of that part was

716
00:55:07.840 --> 00:55:12.760
very unsatisfying, and I immediately thought
I'm ready to head home. I called

717
00:55:12.760 --> 00:55:15.719
an uber to come pick me up. I don't know where I am.

718
00:55:15.239 --> 00:55:19.519
I know the city I'm in,
but I'm not sure of my exact location.

719
00:55:20.000 --> 00:55:22.679
I tried one uber, but it
was taking forever, so I canceled

720
00:55:22.719 --> 00:55:25.239
it and decided to try again.
Pretty soon, a car pulled up and

721
00:55:25.400 --> 00:55:30.360
I drunkingly mumbled something along the lines
of is this the uber and I hopped

722
00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:35.719
in. Drivers are apparently supposed to
have some kind of market on the vehicles,

723
00:55:36.119 --> 00:55:37.800
but the kind of state I was
in at the moment, I didn't

724
00:55:37.800 --> 00:55:42.239
pay attention to that. The guy
pulls away and starts driving and chatting.

725
00:55:42.639 --> 00:55:45.840
I'm fumbling for a cigarette and the
next thing I noticed is we're heading down

726
00:55:45.880 --> 00:55:49.800
the highway, but in the opposite
direction I thought we needed to be driving,

727
00:55:50.519 --> 00:55:53.159
and we're going a solid ninety miles
per hour. Then I get a

728
00:55:53.199 --> 00:55:59.119
call from my herber Uber driver telling
me he's there and I'm not because I'm

729
00:55:59.159 --> 00:56:02.920
in the car with some random nutcase. I start texting my friend frantically counting

730
00:56:04.039 --> 00:56:07.320
off mile markers for her. I
realize at that point that's not going to

731
00:56:07.360 --> 00:56:12.119
do jack squat because she's probably wasted
too. I called nine to one one

732
00:56:12.159 --> 00:56:15.320
at this point, but I realize
this guy is crazy. If he's willing

733
00:56:15.360 --> 00:56:16.920
to do this, he's crazy.
He's refusing to let me get out of

734
00:56:16.960 --> 00:56:21.760
the car, so I got to
do this in a manner that he won't

735
00:56:21.800 --> 00:56:24.639
comprehend. It's been over half an
hour at this point, and I'm terrified.

736
00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:28.440
I don't know where I am,
I have no idea who this person

737
00:56:28.599 --> 00:56:31.000
is, and we're driving over ninety
miles an hour while weaving in and out

738
00:56:31.039 --> 00:56:36.239
of traffic in the early morning hours. This guy is trying to get me

739
00:56:36.320 --> 00:56:38.360
to hang up my cell phone,
saying things like get off the phone,

740
00:56:38.400 --> 00:56:40.559
Who the hell are you talking to? You better not be a snitch.

741
00:56:42.039 --> 00:56:45.199
I'm terrified, and I don't want
to do anything that might provoke a violent

742
00:56:45.280 --> 00:56:47.559
reaction from him. I start chatting
with the nine to one to one dispatcher

743
00:56:47.679 --> 00:56:52.920
as if it's my friend, praying
that they'll catch on. Hey girl,

744
00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:57.280
it's me. Yeah, I need
someone right now. We're driving past this

745
00:56:57.400 --> 00:57:00.199
highway exit. Now it's not my
where I thought it was as not.

746
00:57:00.639 --> 00:57:02.079
It's a shame you can't come meet
up and hang out with us, Bring

747
00:57:02.159 --> 00:57:06.119
your friend, and bring all of
our friends. Thank god. The operator

748
00:57:06.199 --> 00:57:08.480
catches on. He gets me to
stay on the phone while he sends cops,

749
00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:12.599
and we develop a code. If
I see cops, I'm supposed to

750
00:57:12.639 --> 00:57:15.360
casually put my hand out the window, which looks semi normal because I'm smoking

751
00:57:15.400 --> 00:57:21.559
a cigarette. We pulled into some
random little housing complex and he busts out

752
00:57:21.599 --> 00:57:24.559
some powder and forms two lines.
I now understand why he's emotionally unstable.

753
00:57:24.840 --> 00:57:28.679
Pretty soon I can see the lights
from the cop cars, so I start

754
00:57:28.760 --> 00:57:30.480
waving my hand out the window.
At this point, I don't care if

755
00:57:30.519 --> 00:57:35.119
he's on to me or not.
I don't know if he has a weapon,

756
00:57:35.440 --> 00:57:37.079
but I slum down in my seat
just in case things get a little

757
00:57:37.119 --> 00:57:42.039
hot. And then cops surround us, remove me from the car, take

758
00:57:42.079 --> 00:57:45.199
me to safety. Then they arrest
a guy. They took me to the

759
00:57:45.239 --> 00:57:47.920
hospital for evaluation. All the way
to the hospital, I find out this

760
00:57:49.039 --> 00:57:52.960
guy had been a federal prison for
twenty years of his near forty years of

761
00:57:52.039 --> 00:57:57.360
existence. That is where my story
ends. Hopefully people will learn from my

762
00:57:57.480 --> 00:58:00.440
mistake and if nothing else call nine
one one, stay on the line.

763
00:58:01.920 --> 00:58:07.360
Oh man. That is that is
terrifying. That's something that can easily happen,

764
00:58:07.480 --> 00:58:10.880
right like all the time. Uber
driver? Sure, yeah, I'm

765
00:58:10.960 --> 00:58:14.320
uber. Yeah baby, get on
it, you know, like, yeah,

766
00:58:14.360 --> 00:58:16.159
you wouldn't even if you're in a
bad state and even think about it.

767
00:58:16.599 --> 00:58:21.599
Yeah, I mean you hear about
stuff like this a lot because it

768
00:58:21.679 --> 00:58:24.559
constantly happens. People get into what
they think is an uber or it could

769
00:58:24.599 --> 00:58:30.320
even be an uber, but it's
set up for like you know, something

770
00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:37.280
crazy happens a lot and all the
world, different countries. You get taxi

771
00:58:37.480 --> 00:58:40.360
in the wrong area, you can
end up someplace you don't want to be.

772
00:58:40.920 --> 00:58:44.800
A lot of people are commenting that. Always ask who the huber driver

773
00:58:45.119 --> 00:58:47.480
is. Make sure you verify a
lot of people are saying things. But

774
00:58:47.679 --> 00:58:51.800
I think it's important to mention that
the state of this person was doxicated.

775
00:58:51.880 --> 00:58:54.199
Yes, she was very drunk.
Yeah yeah, so, I mean you're

776
00:58:54.199 --> 00:59:00.199
not gonna have much luck there.
She mentioned that she understands now that Uber

777
00:59:00.320 --> 00:59:02.519
driver is supposed to have some sort
of marking and what they do have like

778
00:59:02.599 --> 00:59:07.719
a little sign that they put in
their window, do they? Yeah,

779
00:59:08.519 --> 00:59:15.000
I've only I've only noticed it when
I've been into a convention and I gotten

780
00:59:15.039 --> 00:59:19.000
a couple of ubers. There's like
a oh they have a little light up

781
00:59:19.079 --> 00:59:22.480
sign thing that they put in their
window. But it's not superniceable at the

782
00:59:22.599 --> 00:59:27.199
best of times. This is the
night too. Yeah, if you're if

783
00:59:27.239 --> 00:59:30.920
you're drunk at night, you're not
going to see it. So like at

784
00:59:30.960 --> 00:59:35.519
that point you see it at your
cosplay convention let alone, Yeah, you

785
00:59:35.599 --> 00:59:38.960
barely see it. Yeah, and
there was costplay there. It wasn't a

786
00:59:39.039 --> 00:59:47.599
cost but anyway, Yeah, it
makes sense though, like, uh,

787
00:59:47.920 --> 00:59:52.079
this person she could have been it
could have got so much worse. She

788
00:59:52.280 --> 00:59:57.840
was very smart though too to stay
on the line and kind of like you

789
00:59:57.920 --> 01:00:01.119
know, they can see like she
was talking to a friend and about it.

790
01:00:01.159 --> 01:00:06.760
How could this be prevented? Well, why saying you if you're drunk,

791
01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:08.880
you need to make sure you check
your apps, make sure you get

792
01:00:09.000 --> 01:00:14.360
like a notification that your driver's there. Captain Hindsight, the hero of the

793
01:00:14.480 --> 01:00:16.559
modern Age. Captain Hindsight, like
God, you come. They should have

794
01:00:16.599 --> 01:00:20.679
built fire escapes on those windows for
the higher floors, then people could have

795
01:00:20.719 --> 01:00:22.599
gotten down. Well, it looks
like my job here is done. Goodbye

796
01:00:22.679 --> 01:00:34.280
everyone, I say you up there. Yeah. Well, you can't plan

797
01:00:34.400 --> 01:00:37.119
for the best of times though,
right, because like you're gonna make a

798
01:00:37.199 --> 01:00:42.800
mistake. No one's gonna be on
it all the time. So people are

799
01:00:42.880 --> 01:00:45.559
waiting. People are waiting to prey
on people. That's a scary part.

800
01:00:45.320 --> 01:00:51.039
Yeah, they really are. They'll
be uh, you know, people will

801
01:00:51.119 --> 01:00:55.679
prowl areas where they know people will
get ubers, like clubs and stuff like

802
01:00:55.760 --> 01:00:59.800
that. I've seen that on a
what would you do? You've seen that

803
01:00:59.840 --> 01:01:05.239
shot. It's on ABC. I
think it's been on forever. But he

804
01:01:06.039 --> 01:01:08.800
they did this scenario where they acted
like obviously they're actors, right, the

805
01:01:08.880 --> 01:01:12.079
girl and then the fake uber driver
was trying to get her to go in

806
01:01:12.119 --> 01:01:15.880
the car, and people were like, really helpful, but if nobody's there

807
01:01:15.960 --> 01:01:20.000
for you, then you're kind of
sol Yeah, it was this exact same

808
01:01:20.079 --> 01:01:22.599
it's kind of the same scenario,
but there were people nearby and they did

809
01:01:22.679 --> 01:01:25.400
react and made sure that they called
the cops and everything on this guy man

810
01:01:25.559 --> 01:01:29.440
everybody was on it, people were
going to fight him and everything, But

811
01:01:30.320 --> 01:01:34.800
this poor lady did not have that
same scenario. So, yeah, that's

812
01:01:34.840 --> 01:01:38.719
a scary one because it could just
happen. It will happen again, there's

813
01:01:38.760 --> 01:01:44.199
no way it's not gonna happen again. And some that you can't prepare for

814
01:01:45.199 --> 01:01:50.280
all the time because only you know, paranoid people are always ready to be

815
01:01:50.320 --> 01:01:53.199
attacked. But you're right, she
did a great thing by and really good

816
01:01:53.239 --> 01:01:57.480
thinking. Though even though it states
she was in to do the stay on

817
01:01:57.519 --> 01:02:00.159
the phone and describe like all that
without giving it away. Yeah, well

818
01:02:00.199 --> 01:02:05.199
this person was obviously out of their
mind. Yeah, we talked about a

819
01:02:05.239 --> 01:02:08.039
lot of these other stories where people
don't get on the phone immediately or something

820
01:02:08.159 --> 01:02:12.119
like that. It's like, no, yeah, call the cops as soon

821
01:02:12.199 --> 01:02:14.960
as you can, you know,
if you just have the speakerphone on and

822
01:02:15.039 --> 01:02:17.760
you're just letting them hear sounds.
That concludes our stories for the night,

823
01:02:17.880 --> 01:02:22.039
Luke, we will go to a
short clip and we will come back with

824
01:02:22.480 --> 01:02:27.760
our favorite story of the night.
Let me find that I got one hundred

825
01:02:27.800 --> 01:02:30.280
dollars check from my grandma and my
dad said I need to put in the

826
01:02:30.320 --> 01:02:32.559
bank. So it can grow over
the years. Well, that's fantastic,

827
01:02:32.639 --> 01:02:36.760
a really smart decision, young man. We can put that check in a

828
01:02:36.840 --> 01:02:40.559
money market mutual fund. Then we'll
reinvest the earnings into foreign currency accounts with

829
01:02:40.679 --> 01:02:52.719
compounding interest. And it's gone.
Oh what, it's gone, It's all

830
01:02:52.800 --> 01:03:02.239
gone. Scene your favorite story of
the night, I'm going to go with

831
01:03:04.280 --> 01:03:07.119
that last one, the uber one, because it's it's probably the most realistic

832
01:03:07.239 --> 01:03:12.239
and definitely has happened. If you're
watching live, let us know what you

833
01:03:12.360 --> 01:03:15.320
think. What was your favorite story
of the night? Luke is going with

834
01:03:15.559 --> 01:03:20.039
the last one because you're right,
it does seem the most realistic. Yeah,

835
01:03:20.239 --> 01:03:23.719
and it seems like that's the worst. That's like the most nightmarish scenario

836
01:03:23.880 --> 01:03:28.119
to be in. Yeah. It
sounds like the person was so out of

837
01:03:28.159 --> 01:03:30.880
their mind, like so out of
their mind though that they're able to get

838
01:03:30.280 --> 01:03:35.239
out of that scenario. Yeah,
Like they were so unhinged. That guy

839
01:03:35.360 --> 01:03:38.320
was so unhinged. They said that
he had spent was it twenty of his

840
01:03:38.440 --> 01:03:42.440
forty years if exists, it's about
forty years old what they're saying. Yeah,

841
01:03:42.480 --> 01:03:45.960
he said twenty of them in prison. That's like whole adult life and

842
01:03:45.079 --> 01:03:49.360
they were so crazy they just pulled
over and start. There are lines of

843
01:03:49.440 --> 01:03:52.599
coeah. Yeah, eh, yeah
it's what he did. Yeah, insane,

844
01:03:52.320 --> 01:03:55.119
But okay, we got a lot
of people going with the Max Headroom.

845
01:03:55.760 --> 01:04:00.159
Those were all good stories, honestly, from the clown through the uh

846
01:04:00.039 --> 01:04:03.079
what was the other one you did? It was the one with the family

847
01:04:03.679 --> 01:04:08.159
or out in that desert where yeah, creepy shadow person they could see the

848
01:04:08.199 --> 01:04:13.280
figures. Yeah, to Maxizinrooms,
to the Alien, to the Uber.

849
01:04:14.519 --> 01:04:16.800
Yeah, it's it's a really tough
one for me. Yeah, Max Headroom,

850
01:04:16.840 --> 01:04:19.079
because I came up, I'm always
gonna favor of mine, I guess.

851
01:04:19.159 --> 01:04:24.199
But I liked the Alien one a
lot. I think I like doing

852
01:04:24.360 --> 01:04:28.559
different sharing different things like the Alien
one. Like last week we did the

853
01:04:28.639 --> 01:04:31.400
deep dive on the Joplin tornado,
yeah, and then we did Max Headroom

854
01:04:31.440 --> 01:04:35.440
also, like it's kind of like
different scary stories. Yeah. I like

855
01:04:35.559 --> 01:04:41.519
the different vibes. You know,
last week was definitely a much more somber

856
01:04:42.239 --> 01:04:46.519
story, and you know, because
it was a tragedy. Yeah, but

857
01:04:46.599 --> 01:04:49.199
this one, that one could have
ended like that, I mean could have

858
01:04:49.280 --> 01:04:54.079
ended some tragedy. So like one
thing I liked about the alien one is

859
01:04:54.159 --> 01:04:58.199
because it's such a well documented case. This's so not so much like I'm

860
01:04:58.679 --> 01:05:01.360
sharing a story with no one I's
ever heard before. I'm sharing a story

861
01:05:01.400 --> 01:05:05.519
that I really enjoy, that I
had heard many times over the years,

862
01:05:05.639 --> 01:05:10.800
and like, I'm like, this
is one of my favorite stories of aliens.

863
01:05:11.440 --> 01:05:14.480
It's crazy. These people in this
house, all my fighting aliens that

864
01:05:14.559 --> 01:05:17.079
are trying to break in. It's
terrifying. I mean, it's it's terrifying.

865
01:05:17.800 --> 01:05:20.760
On the other hand, it also
sounds kind of fun, one thing's

866
01:05:20.760 --> 01:05:25.239
for sure. And they shot up
the house. Yeah, they're trying to

867
01:05:25.280 --> 01:05:28.239
get to these aliens one way or
another. Edith, there was an aliens.

868
01:05:28.280 --> 01:05:32.559
It was a very dangerous place to
be it. It's crazy. Much

869
01:05:32.599 --> 01:05:34.960
more could have aided, much more
worse, I guess, is what I

870
01:05:35.079 --> 01:05:40.440
was saying. Yeah, especially if
it was like a prank by like teenagers

871
01:05:40.559 --> 01:05:43.599
or something, you know, something
like that. Yeah, somebody could have

872
01:05:43.599 --> 01:05:45.079
got hurt really bad. I don't
know a lot of people are going with

873
01:05:45.119 --> 01:05:50.760
the Max Headroom though, So Max
Headroom, that's a crazy one perpetrated by

874
01:05:50.840 --> 01:05:56.480
crazy people. The fact that it
is, I don't know that one's a

875
01:05:56.559 --> 01:05:59.800
well documented one too, because you
know it was on TV. You know,

876
01:06:00.679 --> 01:06:03.880
people saw us all over the place. I really like that story.

877
01:06:04.639 --> 01:06:10.800
I like any story where people are
exposed to something that they see every day,

878
01:06:10.840 --> 01:06:14.800
like television, and something goes wrong. You know, technologies that we

879
01:06:15.559 --> 01:06:19.360
we embrace on a day to day
basis fail us in some way. That's

880
01:06:19.400 --> 01:06:24.559
a great story. People always figure
out a way to take advantage of the

881
01:06:24.599 --> 01:06:28.360
situation though, no matter if it's
technology or anything. Yeah. Well,

882
01:06:28.480 --> 01:06:31.800
Luke, this comes to the conclusion
of this week's stream live recording of your

883
01:06:31.880 --> 01:06:39.159
Scary Stories. It was another fun
episode with five awesome stories. That It's

884
01:06:39.639 --> 01:06:41.960
it's harder and harder to find awesome
stories, you know, It's like,

885
01:06:42.000 --> 01:06:44.880
how can you keep topping it?
But there's so many out there. I've

886
01:06:44.960 --> 01:06:47.519
got a couple that I have lined
up for next week, actually already.

887
01:06:47.920 --> 01:06:53.039
I try to stay a week ahead
and if I see another one that really

888
01:06:53.239 --> 01:06:55.880
like, I'll try to add it. But so far I've kept that too.

889
01:06:56.000 --> 01:06:59.719
We might have three next week.
Right. Check out the YouTube.

890
01:06:59.719 --> 01:07:02.679
It's that podcast father of my YouTube, Joe Townsend Media. We're uploading new

891
01:07:02.800 --> 01:07:06.840
videos every day of stories, so
I encourage you to listen to It's also

892
01:07:06.880 --> 01:07:14.639
available in podcasts form audio, but
I definitely encourage the video. Live interaction

893
01:07:15.880 --> 01:07:20.519
Mondays at ten thirty pm Eastern Ish
Ish is the way to go. Would

894
01:07:20.519 --> 01:07:25.760
you agree with that? The live
experience is awesome. Live experience is my

895
01:07:25.840 --> 01:07:29.320
personal favorite for a lot of things
like this, and so yes, definitely,

896
01:07:29.840 --> 01:07:32.000
if you can make it for our
live broadcast, it's definitely the best

897
01:07:32.000 --> 01:07:36.599
way to do it. What's if
our broadcast got hijacked by Max Headroom,

898
01:07:38.519 --> 01:07:43.599
I would poop my pants. Yeah, maybe I can. Just maybe I'll

899
01:07:43.639 --> 01:07:45.320
save that for the future. One
day, Right, You'll just be in

900
01:07:45.360 --> 01:07:49.679
the middle of telling your story and
I'll just and Max head pop up getting

901
01:07:49.679 --> 01:07:56.000
spanked with the flyswater. Oh that
sounds sounds terrifying. Just think about every

902
01:07:56.039 --> 01:08:01.000
normal day live getting interrupted by Max
Headroom. It's terrifying. Yeah, that's

903
01:08:01.039 --> 01:08:04.840
pretty pretty crazy. We're gonna put
a book in on this one though,

904
01:08:05.280 --> 01:08:09.880
until next week, until next episode, until next moment, until the next

905
01:08:09.960 --> 01:08:14.119
stories. Make sure you get in
on these stories too, submit them your

906
01:08:14.159 --> 01:08:17.800
Scary stories dot com. Until then
though, Keep being you, keep being

907
01:08:17.880 --> 01:08:28.439
great. Jeff Townsend Media sees you. Good night, and the question is

908
01:08:28.479 --> 01:08:32.239
do I stay here? Will you
be back Are you gonna come back,

909
01:08:33.119 --> 01:08:36.199
will you be back? Are you
coming back?
