0:51
Speaker 1: get into today's stories. Just after midnight on May first,
1:09
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy one, a twenty year old woman named Elizabeth
1:12
Speaker 1: Ford was sleeping on a couch in the front room
1:15
Speaker 1: of a small house near a city in Arkansas called Texarcana.
1:19
Speaker 1: Elizabeth and her husband Bobby were staying at the house
1:21
Speaker 1: with Bobby's brother and his wife, who owned the house.
1:24
Speaker 1: Bobby and his brother were still both awake, and Elizabeth
1:27
Speaker 1: could hear them talking in the kitchen quietly. The house
1:30
Speaker 1: was surrounded by woods and swampland, and Elizabeth had opened
1:33
Speaker 1: up a window above the couch, so a breeze was
1:35
Speaker 1: blowing in. Now, usually she slept really well with the
1:38
Speaker 1: sound of the woods in the background, but tonight she
1:41
Speaker 1: was tossing and turning. And this was because as she
1:44
Speaker 1: lay there trying to sleep, she became very aware of
1:47
Speaker 1: a unique sound coming from outside. That was not the
1:51
Speaker 1: sound of the trees blowing in the wind or the
1:53
Speaker 1: insects buzzing. This was something else. It was a slow,
1:56
Speaker 1: creaking sound, and at first it kind of sounded like
1:59
Speaker 1: a could be out in the woods somewhere. But eventually
2:02
Speaker 1: Elizabeth realized this creaking sound was sort of moving back
2:06
Speaker 1: and forth, back and forth right outside on the porch
2:09
Speaker 1: below the open window. Suddenly, Elizabeth's eyes flew open and
2:13
Speaker 1: she looked at the window because this creaking sound had
2:15
Speaker 1: just intensified and then came to a stop on the
2:19
Speaker 1: immediate other side of this window, like there was something
2:21
Speaker 1: heavy right outside. Elizabeth sat up to face the window,
2:25
Speaker 1: but she didn't see anything outside through the screen, and
2:28
Speaker 1: so right away she felt totally relieved. You know, she
2:31
Speaker 1: didn't know what that sound was, but clearly there was
2:33
Speaker 1: nothing there. However, just to be certain, she decided she
2:37
Speaker 1: would go a little bit closer to the screen and
2:39
Speaker 1: actually look right up close to make sure there was
2:41
Speaker 1: nothing down below on the porch. And so Elizabeth leaned
2:44
Speaker 1: forward and pressed her face to the screen and began
2:46
Speaker 1: to look. And as she did, this dark figure down
2:50
Speaker 1: below suddenly rose up and completely blocked out the window
2:54
Speaker 1: and Elizabeth's looking at it, having no idea what it is.
2:57
Speaker 1: And before she could do anything, this huge thing slowed
3:00
Speaker 1: at the screen and this big, reddish, furry brown paw
3:04
Speaker 1: with razor sharp claws cut through the screen and nearly
3:07
Speaker 1: cut Elizabeth's face. Elizabeth screamed and practically fell over, and
3:11
Speaker 1: this dark creature outside turned and bolted and disappeared. And
3:15
Speaker 1: then a moment later, Elizabeth's husband, Bobby and his brother
3:18
Speaker 1: came running into the room, asking what was going on.
3:20
Speaker 1: Elizabeth was so shocked at what she had just experienced
3:23
Speaker 1: that all she could say to her husband was, it's
3:26
Speaker 1: a bear. It's a bear. Bobby helped Elizabeth off the
3:29
Speaker 1: couch and then told her and his brother's wife to
3:31
Speaker 1: stay in the house and away from the windows, and
3:34
Speaker 1: then Bobby and his brother got shotguns and flashlights and
3:37
Speaker 1: went outside. Once outside, Bobby and his brother began scanning
3:41
Speaker 1: all around the porch area where Elizabeth had apparently seen
3:44
Speaker 1: this bear to see where it was. They held their
3:46
Speaker 1: flashlights out and they scanned the tree lines. They looked
3:49
Speaker 1: all over the place, all around the front of the property,
3:52
Speaker 1: but there was no sign of this animal. And so
3:53
Speaker 1: the brothers looked at each other and nodded, and then
3:56
Speaker 1: they both left the porch and went different directions, kind
3:59
Speaker 1: of looping around the back of the house. They were
4:00
Speaker 1: going to scan the entire property and meet up at
4:03
Speaker 1: the back. And when they met up at the back,
4:05
Speaker 1: they still hadn't found this bear, and so they walked
4:07
Speaker 1: away from the house towards the tree line and did
4:10
Speaker 1: another big sweep together of the entire perimeter, again looking
4:13
Speaker 1: for any sign of this animal, but there was nothing.
4:16
Speaker 1: And so after a while of circling the property, the
4:19
Speaker 1: brothers decided that, you know, this bear must have just
4:21
Speaker 1: run off, and so Bobby and his brother returned to
4:24
Speaker 1: the porch to figure out their next move. Both Bobby
4:26
Speaker 1: and his brother were hunters, and they knew that usually
4:29
Speaker 1: the best thing to do with the bears that roamed
4:31
Speaker 1: this area was to leave them alone. I mean, these
4:34
Speaker 1: bears could grow to be five hundred pounds, and if
4:36
Speaker 1: they were provoked, they could run at thirty five miles
4:39
Speaker 1: an hour, and so generally you just stayed away from
4:42
Speaker 1: these things and they'd leave you alone too. However, as
4:45
Speaker 1: the brothers were sitting there talking through what had happened
4:47
Speaker 1: that night, they both said, you know, it definitely seemed
4:50
Speaker 1: like this bear was different. I mean, apparently it was
4:53
Speaker 1: aggressive enough to come right up to the house unprovoked
4:56
Speaker 1: and reach in and swipe at Elizabeth, which obviously was
4:59
Speaker 1: not normal bear behavior. And so to Bobby and his brother,
5:03
Speaker 1: this meant that they really couldn't just leave this bear alone.
5:06
Speaker 1: They had to go out there and find it and
5:09
Speaker 1: kill it to protect themselves. And so Bobby lit a
5:11
Speaker 1: cigarette to calm his nerves, and then the two brothers
5:14
Speaker 1: came up with a plan for how they were going
5:16
Speaker 1: to go find the spar Bobby's brother would man the
5:18
Speaker 1: front of the house and Bobby would man the back
5:21
Speaker 1: of the house, and they would stay in their respective positions,
5:24
Speaker 1: monitoring the property until either they saw the bear and
5:27
Speaker 1: dealt with it, or until the sun came up, at
5:30
Speaker 1: which point they could go get help. And so, after
5:32
Speaker 1: agreeing to this plan, Bobby took one final dragon a cigarette,
5:36
Speaker 1: chucked it to the ground, and then, with a shotgun
5:38
Speaker 1: in one hand and his flashlight in the other, he
5:40
Speaker 1: stepped off the porch and walked around to the back
5:42
Speaker 1: of the house and stared off into the darkness. Bobby
5:46
Speaker 1: had only been in the back of the house for
5:47
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes manning his post when he began
5:50
Speaker 1: to smell this horrible smell. Now, at first, he thought
5:53
Speaker 1: it was just some sort of wet, musky smell that
5:55
Speaker 1: came over from the swamp land nearby, but as he
5:58
Speaker 1: continued to smell, it got heavier and more pungent. It
6:02
Speaker 1: smelled like a wet, decaying animal. Bobby tensed up and
6:05
Speaker 1: aimed his flashlight up at the tree line and began
6:07
Speaker 1: looking back and forth, trying to figure out where this
6:10
Speaker 1: horrible smell was coming from. And as he was doing this,
6:13
Speaker 1: he suddenly heard the sound of tree branches snapping off
6:16
Speaker 1: to his left, and so he whipped his flashlight over
6:18
Speaker 1: and shined it, and he saw this big, dark figure
6:22
Speaker 1: charging across the property away from him into the forest.
6:25
Speaker 1: Bobby instinctively raised a shotgun and fired, and then after shooting,
6:29
Speaker 1: a loud yelp echoed in the air, and then Bobby
6:32
Speaker 1: just took off, running in the direction he had just fired.
6:34
Speaker 1: And as he's running across the yard, he's screaming for
6:37
Speaker 1: his brother, who had already heard the shotgun blast, so
6:39
Speaker 1: he was coming around the house and the two men
6:41
Speaker 1: linked up, and as they're running in the direction of
6:44
Speaker 1: this bear, Bobby's telling his brother, I think I got it.
6:46
Speaker 1: I shot the bear. But they get over to where
6:49
Speaker 1: Bobby had last seen it and where he heard this
6:51
Speaker 1: yelp come from, and there was nothing. There was no bear. Still,
6:55
Speaker 1: the brothers did feel a little relieved. They figured, even
6:58
Speaker 1: if they couldn't find this thing, you know, clearly Bobby
7:01
Speaker 1: had hit it. He had heard the sound of it
7:02
Speaker 1: yelping out, and so maybe by at least wounding it,
7:05
Speaker 1: it would stay away and leave them alone. But just
7:07
Speaker 1: then the men heard the sound of their wives screaming
7:11
Speaker 1: from inside the house. The men immediately ran back to
7:14
Speaker 1: the house, and as they got closer, Bobby again began
7:17
Speaker 1: to smell that horrible smell, and right as Bobby's foot
7:21
Speaker 1: hit that first fourth step, his brother from behind him
7:24
Speaker 1: screamed out stop, but it was too late. The bear
7:27
Speaker 1: was on the porch. That's why the women were screaming.
7:30
Speaker 1: They had seen it, and Bobby's brother had seen it,
7:33
Speaker 1: but Bobby hadn't, and now he was too close to
7:35
Speaker 1: it to get away. And before Bobby could raise his
7:38
Speaker 1: gun to protect himself, this thing attacked and Bobby felt
7:42
Speaker 1: this horrible, burning, tearing sensation in his arm. He fell
7:45
Speaker 1: to the ground, twisting wildly back and forth trying to
7:48
Speaker 1: protect himself. He was pinned underneath this enormous bear, level
7:53
Speaker 1: with its chest, with its arms and legs on either
7:55
Speaker 1: side of him, and that horrible smell he was smelling
7:58
Speaker 1: was clearly coming from this animal. Well that's all he
8:00
Speaker 1: could smell from underneath. But just then it was like
8:03
Speaker 1: a miracle because to his side Bobby could see there
8:06
Speaker 1: was an opening, and so he rolled and somehow got
8:09
Speaker 1: out from underneath this enormous creature. Bobby scrambled up to
8:12
Speaker 1: his feet and he darted past the bear and rammed
8:15
Speaker 1: into the closed front door of the house. It popped open.
8:18
Speaker 1: He fell inside, and his wife ran forward and shut
8:22
Speaker 1: the door behind him, leaving Bobby's brother outside on the
8:24
Speaker 1: porch alone with the bear. But before any of them
8:27
Speaker 1: could do anything about that, they heard the sound of
8:30
Speaker 1: his brother's shotgun going off. Then there was a long
8:34
Speaker 1: moment of silence inside the house. Everybody was frozen. A
8:38
Speaker 1: few seconds later, the door slowly opened and Bobby's brother
8:41
Speaker 1: walked inside. Everyone was too shocked to say anything, so
8:45
Speaker 1: for a second they all just stared at each other,
8:47
Speaker 1: and then finally Bobby asked him, is the bear dead?
8:51
Speaker 1: And Bobby's brother, with a trembling voice, said no, and
8:55
Speaker 1: that wasn't a bear. As soon as dawn broke and
8:58
Speaker 1: it was not dark outside anymore, Bobby's wife drove him
9:01
Speaker 1: to the hospital where they would treat him for shock
9:03
Speaker 1: and for the wound to his shoulder. They had hoped
9:05
Speaker 1: to find it somewhere on the property, either dead or wounded,
9:09
Speaker 1: based on Bobby's brother's account of having fired at it.
9:12
Speaker 1: Basically point blank, but the creature was gone. They did
9:16
Speaker 1: find its tracks, though, and this discovery made it clear
9:19
Speaker 1: that Bobby's brother was right that this wasn't a bear,
9:22
Speaker 1: because in the dirts surrounding the house were all these
9:25
Speaker 1: bizarre footprints and handprints of a creature that seemed to
9:29
Speaker 1: walk on its hind legs with three toes on each
9:32
Speaker 1: and had three long, sharp claws on its hands. And
9:36
Speaker 1: as unbelievable as this all seemed to the police, this
9:39
Speaker 1: actually tracked with what Bobby's brother said he saw when
9:42
Speaker 1: he was out on the porch. He said he saw
9:44
Speaker 1: a creature with reddish brown hair all over it that
9:47
Speaker 1: stood over seven feet tall, and after being shot, it
9:51
Speaker 1: took off running on two legs, and it ran fast.
9:54
Speaker 1: But the most terrifying thing about it, at least according
9:57
Speaker 1: to Bobby's brother, was actually its eyes. They were blazing red.
10:03
Speaker 1: And when the news of this attack spread to the
10:05
Speaker 1: nearest town, which was called Fouk, the people there knew
10:08
Speaker 1: exactly what this creature was. For two hundred years, people
10:11
Speaker 1: in that part of Arkansas had been talking about this
10:14
Speaker 1: huge creature that was sort of like a sasquatch that
10:17
Speaker 1: roamed the forest and the swamps. They said it was
10:19
Speaker 1: fast and elusive, and it ate livestock and pets. They
10:23
Speaker 1: called it the Fuc Monster, or sometimes the Boggy Creek Monster.
10:27
Speaker 1: But Bobby Ford and his family's encounter with this creature
10:31
Speaker 1: was unlike any other story that had been told about
10:33
Speaker 1: the Fouc Monster. While some people claimed in the past
10:36
Speaker 1: that this creature had attacked people, nobody had ever heard
10:40
Speaker 1: of it actually coming up to somebody's house trying to
10:42
Speaker 1: break in and terrorize a family. Bobby's ordeal would inspire
10:46
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventy two horror movie The Legend of Boggie Creek.
10:50
Speaker 1: Over the years, police officers and some scientists have suggested
10:54
Speaker 1: that maybe what Bobby and his brother encountered that night
10:57
Speaker 1: was actually a feral pig. However, authorities have never actually
11:01
Speaker 1: been able to pinpoint what this thing was. Nobody knows,
11:05
Speaker 1: and to this day, hikers and hunters near the swamps
11:07
Speaker 1: of southwest Arkansas and also across the border into East
11:11
Speaker 1: Texas still report run ins with the legendary Falk Monster.

Speaker 1: that bonus tenth story called a Forest so Evil. On
12:42
Speaker 1: the evening of August first, twenty fifteen, a twenty year
12:46
Speaker 1: old man named Fraser Bloye walked alone down a main
12:49
Speaker 1: road toward his village in the South African province of Limpopo.
12:53
Speaker 1: Fraser was on his way home from work and he
12:55
Speaker 1: was pretty desperate to get there. It was only about
12:57
Speaker 1: seven thirty pm, and usually around this time Fraser was
13:01
Speaker 1: used to seeing other people out and about on this road,
13:03
Speaker 1: just kind of walking around in the dusk or you know,
13:06
Speaker 1: chatting or doing various errands. But tonight there was nobody
13:09
Speaker 1: out there, and in fact, in recent days, this area
13:12
Speaker 1: of Limpopo had basically become a ghost town. Nobody went
13:16
Speaker 1: out unless they absolutely had to, because over the last
13:19
Speaker 1: ten days, over twenty people in this area had been
13:23
Speaker 1: brutally mauled. The victims had all insisted that the creature
13:27
Speaker 1: that had mauled them was some kind of four legged demon,
13:31
Speaker 1: and they had begun calling it the Beast. Now, Fraser
13:34
Speaker 1: considered himself a pretty level headed person who did not
13:36
Speaker 1: necessarily buy into the hype around this beast. He figured
13:40
Speaker 1: it was very likely just a dog, but still he
13:42
Speaker 1: didn't want to get attacked, and so as he walked
13:44
Speaker 1: down this vacant road, he periodically looked over his shoulder
13:47
Speaker 1: just to make sure no dog was following him. As
13:50
Speaker 1: Fraser continued to walk along, he looked up and saw
13:53
Speaker 1: the huge forest fire that was raging on a mountain
13:56
Speaker 1: miles and miles off in the distance. A few days
13:58
Speaker 1: ago the fire had started, and from Fraser's perspective, it
14:01
Speaker 1: still seemed to be going strong. In fact, in the darkness,
14:04
Speaker 1: it almost looked like the mountain was glowing red. Just then,
14:07
Speaker 1: Fraser noticed the turnoff for the shortcut that would take
14:10
Speaker 1: him through some forest back to his home, and when
14:12
Speaker 1: he got there, he stopped and looked over his shoulder
14:15
Speaker 1: one more time to make sure he was still all alone,
14:17
Speaker 1: and he was, And then he stepped off the main
14:19
Speaker 1: road into the woods and into the darkness under the
14:22
Speaker 1: tree canopy. The knight suddenly seemed a lot darker. Fraser
14:25
Speaker 1: did his best to think about the chores he needed
14:27
Speaker 1: to do for his mother once he got home, instead
14:30
Speaker 1: of thinking about the beast. But he'd only been on
14:32
Speaker 1: this path for about three hundred feet when he suddenly
14:35
Speaker 1: heard a rustling from behind him, and so right away
14:37
Speaker 1: Fraser stopped and turned around and looked where the noise
14:39
Speaker 1: was coming from, but all he saw was darkness. There
14:42
Speaker 1: was nothing there, and so Fraser for a whole minute
14:45
Speaker 1: just stood there, staring out into the tree line, waiting
14:48
Speaker 1: for something to move. But nothing did, and so Fraser
14:51
Speaker 1: told himself he was just being paranoid. Everything was fine,
14:54
Speaker 1: and then he turned back around and kept on walking.
14:56
Speaker 1: But pretty quickly his walk turned into a jog and
14:59
Speaker 1: he was almost to the end of this path, almost
15:01
Speaker 1: out of the forest. He could see his village. It
15:03
Speaker 1: was right there when he heard noises behind him again,
15:07
Speaker 1: except now in addition to the rustling sounds, he heard
15:10
Speaker 1: a new sound. It was like a wheezing sound, like
15:13
Speaker 1: a sick animal that was breathing heavily. Now Fraser knew
15:16
Speaker 1: he was not just being paranoid. Something was out there
15:20
Speaker 1: and it seemed like it might be following him without
15:22
Speaker 1: slowing down. Fraser looked over his shoulder again to see
15:25
Speaker 1: what was out there, but again he just saw nothing.
15:27
Speaker 1: It was just shadows. However, when he turned back around
15:31
Speaker 1: and kept on going towards his village, he heard this loud,
15:34
Speaker 1: crashing sound behind him, like a massive animal had leapt
15:37
Speaker 1: out of the brush and landed on the path behind him,
15:40
Speaker 1: and so Fraser was immediately so scared he couldn't even
15:43
Speaker 1: turn around. He just started sprinting toward the village, and
15:46
Speaker 1: all he could hear behind him were these loud, pounding
15:49
Speaker 1: footsteps as whatever this was was gaining on him, And
15:52
Speaker 1: so Fraser was so instantly terrified that instinctively he just
15:55
Speaker 1: started sprinting off without even looking behind him. And so
15:58
Speaker 1: as he's running, this thing gaining on him, and again
16:01
Speaker 1: he can hear this awful wheezing sound coming from whatever
16:05
Speaker 1: this is, as if there was something wrong with its lungs.
16:08
Speaker 1: And in Fraser's panic, as he's sprinting through the forest,
16:11
Speaker 1: Fraser's telling himself, it's just got to be a rabbit dog,
16:13
Speaker 1: that's why it's making those sounds. But he knew that
16:16
Speaker 1: didn't track. This thing is huge. This can't just be
16:19
Speaker 1: a rabbit dog, and so Fraser just kept on running
16:22
Speaker 1: and running, and finally he got out of the trees,
16:24
Speaker 1: back into his village, and at the exact same moment,
16:27
Speaker 1: the pounding footsteps behind him came to a stop. But
16:30
Speaker 1: again Fraser, he didn't turn around. He's too scared he
16:33
Speaker 1: just ran for his door. His house was right there
16:35
Speaker 1: in front of him, and he gets to his door,
16:37
Speaker 1: he's about to open it up, and right as he does,
16:39
Speaker 1: he feels this searing pain in his neck. This creature,
16:42
Speaker 1: whatever it was, had leapt and grabbed onto him and
16:45
Speaker 1: bit down on the back of his neck, and so
16:48
Speaker 1: Fraser crumpled to the ground and threw his arms up
16:50
Speaker 1: over his head to protect himself. And with one eye
16:53
Speaker 1: he can see it's this massive black creature on top
16:57
Speaker 1: of him, chewing on the lower half of his face,
17:00
Speaker 1: and so Fraser he couldn't even feel any pain. He
17:02
Speaker 1: just began screaming for help, and he tried to push
17:04
Speaker 1: it off of him, but he couldn't. And then a
17:06
Speaker 1: second later, a flash of metal came across his eye
17:09
Speaker 1: as his mother and other villagers who had seen this
17:12
Speaker 1: happening and heard him screaming, came out and began smashing
17:15
Speaker 1: whatever this was with shovels, and so a second later,
17:18
Speaker 1: Fraser's pulled away and dragged towards his house, and this
17:21
Speaker 1: huge black creature it marched over to the edge of
17:25
Speaker 1: the tree line and just stopped, turned and looked back
17:28
Speaker 1: at Fraser and his mother and the neighbors, and Fraser,
17:31
Speaker 1: as he's sitting there in total shock, he can tell
17:34
Speaker 1: that whatever this thing is, this enormous dog like creature,
17:38
Speaker 1: this had to be the beast. That's what just attacked him.
17:42
Speaker 1: And in this moment, Fraser realized, you know, this creature
17:45
Speaker 1: may have the shape of a dog, but it was
17:48
Speaker 1: not a dog. South Africa has its share of wild dogs, jackals,
17:52
Speaker 1: and hyenas, and typically they're multicolored and fairly small, and
17:56
Speaker 1: this thing was jet black, pitch black, and gigantic. And
18:01
Speaker 1: when this thing first started chasing Fraser, he'd had that
18:04
Speaker 1: panicked thought that maybe it was a rabbit dog. But
18:07
Speaker 1: rabbit animals are typically lethargic and confused, and this thing
18:11
Speaker 1: that was fifteen feet away from them was absolutely alert
18:14
Speaker 1: and calm. The only thing sick about it was that
18:17
Speaker 1: horrible wheezing sound it would make as it breathed. And
18:20
Speaker 1: as Fraser and his mother and the neighbors just stood
18:22
Speaker 1: there staring at this thing, this creature just continued to
18:26
Speaker 1: stare back at them with piercing eyes. And its eyes
18:29
Speaker 1: were not normal. These were not like animal eyes or
18:32
Speaker 1: dog eyes. They were too small and set at the
18:34
Speaker 1: wrong angle. And there was real sentience behind them. They
18:39
Speaker 1: were humanized. Just then, Fraser's mother grabbed Fraser and yanked him,
18:43
Speaker 1: kind of jerking him back to reality, and he scrambled
18:46
Speaker 1: to his feet, and he and his mother and the
18:48
Speaker 1: two neighbors they took off, running back into their respective homes.
18:52
Speaker 1: All the while this creature just sat there on the
18:54
Speaker 1: edge of the forest, staring still in the direction of
18:57
Speaker 1: Fraser and his home. Once inside of Fraser's house, his
19:01
Speaker 1: mother immediately dialed the emergency number to tell the police
19:04
Speaker 1: about what had just happened, but the police told her
19:06
Speaker 1: they were not going to send people out there to
19:09
Speaker 1: deal with some dog, and so Fraser's mother decided she
19:11
Speaker 1: would just treat her son's wounds on her own until
19:14
Speaker 1: this doglike creature had left, and then once it had,
19:17
Speaker 1: she would get him ride to the hospital. However, as
19:20
Speaker 1: Fraser and his mother stared out the window at this creature,
19:23
Speaker 1: it didn't leave. It just sat there staring back at
19:27
Speaker 1: Fraser and his mother with these hideous human eyes for
19:31
Speaker 1: hours and hours. Finally, in the morning, it was gone.
19:35
Speaker 1: The attack on Fraser was the last straw for the
19:38
Speaker 1: people of his village. They believed the creature that had
19:41
Speaker 1: bit his face was the demon beast that had hurt
19:44
Speaker 1: so many other people, and so the elders of Fraser's
19:47
Speaker 1: village came up with a plan of how to deal
19:49
Speaker 1: with this beast, and so a few days after the
19:51
Speaker 1: attack on Fraser, this group of elders went off on
19:55
Speaker 1: a journey up into that mountain that Fraser had seen
19:57
Speaker 1: off in the distance that had that huge forced on it,
20:01
Speaker 1: and they were there for two whole days before returning
20:03
Speaker 1: to the village and telling everyone that they had successfully
20:06
Speaker 1: performed a ritual that had appeased their ancestors and so
20:10
Speaker 1: hopefully now the attacks would stop, and sure enough they did.
20:13
Speaker 1: They did not see the beast again. At least forty
20:16
Speaker 1: people in Limpopo had encountered the beast at some point,
20:19
Speaker 1: either because they were attacked or they helped fend it
20:22
Speaker 1: off like the neighbors did with Fraser. But because this
20:25
Speaker 1: beast was never caught and it did stop attacking the
20:28
Speaker 1: village and just kind of disappeared, nobody ever actually figured
20:31
Speaker 1: out what it was. To this day, people in Fraser's
20:34
Speaker 1: village maintain that this creature was a demon and that
20:38
Speaker 1: it came down from the burning Mountain because every person,
20:41
Speaker 1: including Fraser, who had encountered this beast noted its wheezing,
20:46
Speaker 1: heavy breathing as if its lungs had been damaged by smoke.
20:50
Speaker 1: In all, at least forty people in Limpopo encountered this beast,
20:54
Speaker 1: either because they were attacked or they helped fend it off,
20:57
Speaker 1: but because it was never caught, there is no definitive
21:00
Speaker 1: proof of what it actually was. As many of you
21:07
Speaker 1: may know, the biggest event to ever come out of
21:10
Speaker 1: Ballin Studios is fast approaching. Starting September twenty sixth to
21:14

Speaker 1: fifteen different cities across the country, delivering the strange, doc
21:21
Speaker 1: and mysterious to you all live and in person. We
21:25
Speaker 1: did one sold out show last year in Austin, Texas
21:28
Speaker 1: at the Paramount Theater. It was sort of like to
21:30
Speaker 1: see if people liked it, and it seemed like people
21:32
Speaker 1: loved it, so we decided to take that format and
21:35
Speaker 1: run with it on this year's tour. Just like in Austin,
21:38
Speaker 1: Texas last year, there will be some og classic mister
21:41

21:52
Speaker 1: but there are still tickets available in cities like DC, Chicago,
