Don't buy this SERIAL KILLER'S mansion! The haunting of Fox Hollow Farm - MrBallen · Crime and Horror

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Before Herb Baumeister would become a prolific, horrible serial killer,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: he was a pillar of his community. He was a
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: doting father. He was a loving husband. His neighbors enjoyed
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: spending time with him because he was high energy and
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: he threw great parties. But what people didn't know from
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: outward appearances is that he was schizophrenic and had been
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: diagnosed at a young age. He also had this deep
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: obsession with death and dying that he could never quite shake.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: His morbid obsession would ultimately take over and he would
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: go on to end the lives of nearly two dozen
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: young men in Indiana. And he would bury the majority
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: of them on his property, which was known as Fox
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Hollow Farm. When an investigation into all these missing young
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: men in Indiana points at Herb Baumeister being the primary suspect,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Baumeister flees his property and ultimately ends his own life.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: And in the note he leaves, He just says that
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the reason he's taking his own life is because his
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: business is failing and so is his marriage. He doesn't
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: confess to any of the murders. He doesn't give investigators
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: any indication of how many people he killed or where
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: they are. He didn't give any closure to anyone. He
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: just took his own life and that was that. And
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: so while investigators did a very thorough search of the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: property that Baumeister owned, the Fox Hollow Farms property, and
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: found over 5,000 human bone fragments and were able to
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: identify a number of victims, They believe that there are
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: more victims buried at Fox Hollow Farms that we may
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: never uncover. So our story picks up over a decade
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: later when two new owners come in, purchase Fox Hollow Farms,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: and almost immediately some very strange things start happening in
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and around the property. Then they record this very famous
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: audio recording inside the property, which that, in conjunction with
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the other strange things that they had seen around the property...
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: leads them to believe that Fox Hollow Farms is haunted.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: So before we get into their story and we listen
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to that audio recording, if you're interested in strange, dark,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and mysterious content like what I'm promising on today's episode,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: then you've come to the right place because this is
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the type of content that I produce three to four
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: times a week. And so if that interests you, if

  Speaker 1: turn on all notifications so you don't miss any of
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: these uploads every week. So let's dive in. In 2006, Rob,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Vicki Graves, and their two teenage sons were tired of
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: living the city fast-paced lifestyle and decided to look for
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: some property in suburban Indiana where they could kind of
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: escape that busy lifestyle. And so when they were looking
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: at real estate in some of the nicer suburbs of Indiana,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: they They found this one property called Fox Hollow Farms
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: that was this huge, sprawling estate, but was selling for
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: some unbelievably cheap price. And so they contact a real
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: estate agent who says, yeah, we'd love to give you
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: a tour of the place. It's up for sale. No
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: one's occupying it right now. It's owned by an investor,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: but they are looking to sell, obviously. So yeah, let's
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: do a house tour. And so they're open-minded. It seems
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: too good to be true. But they decide, you know what,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: we'll go take a look. And so they get to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: this property and it's beautiful. It is everything they wanted
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: this dream home they're looking for to be. It has
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: an indoor swimming pool. It's got loads of bedrooms and bathrooms.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: It's like basically a mansion. And as they're walking around
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the property, Rob is speaking to his wife, Vicky, and
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: they're both kind of going back and forth like, what's
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: wrong with this place? This doesn't make any sense. Rob
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: starts to wonder, wait a second, think i've heard of
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: this place on tv before and he's having like an
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: epiphany and he's like i think that this could actually
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: be the home of one of the most notorious serial
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: killers in indiana's history herb baumeister it's like he just
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: came to him that the name fox hollow farm was
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: something he remembered hearing on tv and so he stopped
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the real estate agent on their tour and he says
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: hey this this is a beautiful home but is this
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the home of herb baumeister And the real estate agent,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: almost expecting this to be brought up, was like, yes,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: that's why it's still in the market. People are unwilling
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to purchase this home, even though the investor who scooped
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: this up in the 90s following the tragedy that was
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the Herb Baumeister case, the investor had basically gutted the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: whole residence and basically removed all the kind of remnants
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: of what it used to look like when Herb Baumeister
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: was living there. Nobody wanted it because, you know, Herb
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Baumeister had killed nearly two dozen young men and buried
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: them on the property and investigators still were finding pieces
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: of bone on the property and they didn't really know
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: how many victims there were. And so it was this
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: kind of spooky place to live. And so the real
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: estate agent just said, that's why it's so cheap. The
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: property is beautiful. It's well kept, but no one wants
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: to be here because of the history. The real estate
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: agent says, here, why don't you and your wife just
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: go talk about it? We can leave if you guys
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: aren't comfortable with this. Ultimately, they decide to purchase the property.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: So a couple of weeks later, Rob and Vicki and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: their two teenage sons move into Fox Hollow Farms and
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: they love it. And especially their two teenage sons love
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: swimming in the pool. And they've gotten in the habit
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: of basically running around outside and and then tracking in
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: dirt and gravel into the swimming pool. And so one day,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Vicki is vacuuming up some of this dirt and gravel
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: that had gotten inside of the area around the pool.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: And so she's vacuuming up the gravel, and all of
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a sudden, her vacuum cuts out. And in fact, the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: power cord where the vacuum was attached to had come undone.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: And so she thinks, oh, I must have yanked on
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the cord and pulled it out of the outlet. And
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: so she goes over and she plugs it back in
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: and she goes back to vacuuming up the gravel that
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: was in the pool. And so as she's doing that,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: it goes out again, which surprised her because she remembered
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: thinking to herself, like, don't yank on the cord because
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: you just unplugged it. And she turns around and now
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the cord from the vacuum and the outlet it was
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: plugged into are separated by about a foot. It was
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: as if it had been yanked out pretty hard. And
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: she's thinking to herself, like, did I just yank on
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: it again? Like, am I wrapped on a chair or something? Like,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: how did I yank it out and how did it
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: move a foot away from the outlet? And so after
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: she plugs it in, she checks it and kind of
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: yanks on it to make sure it's not falling out
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: on its own. Like it's not a, you know, kind
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of weak connection to the port and it's not, it's
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: in there secure. And she goes back to vacuuming and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: she's looking over her shoulder and checking the outlet as
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: she's vacuuming, like wondering like what was causing it to
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: pop out of the socket like that. And as she's
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: looking at it, she watches it pop out of the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: socket again. except it didn't just fall to the ground.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: It like jumped out as if there was a surge
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: of electricity that, you know, popped it out of the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: socket or something. And she drops the vacuum because it
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: startled her and she didn't know what to make of it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Rob worked at a car dealership and one of his employees, Joe,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: was chronically late. And it got to the point where
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Rob's like, Joe, what's going on? Like, why are you
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: always late? And Joe said, you know, I live over
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: an hour away and I just, I can't get here
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: on time. I got to find somewhere, you know, to
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: live that's closer to the dealership. And Rob is like, well, actually,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: we have an entire apartment attached to our residence at
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Fox Hollow Farms that no one's staying in. We'd be
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: happy to let you rent that out. It's right down
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the road. And Joe's like, actually, that sounds pretty great.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: And so just a couple days later, Rob helps Joe
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: move into the new apartment. And they spend the whole
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: day moving all the boxes and furniture in there. And
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: just in the span of just a few hours, they
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: move everything into Joe's apartment. Rob leaves. Joe is exhausted.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: It's just he and his dog, Fred. And Joe just
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: decides to crash for the night and he lays down
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: in the bed and falls asleep. And so that night
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: he has this dream where he's being chased by someone.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: He doesn't know what it is, but it causes him
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to actually act out his dream, like sleepwalk. He jumps
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: up out of his bed and starts running as if
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: he needs to escape the apartment. But he's like kind
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: of half dreaming and he runs into the doorframe, falls
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: to the ground, knocks a glass over and actually cuts
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: his hands up pretty bad. And so he like comes
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: to and he's like looking around and he's like, what
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: was that? So a couple of days later, Vicki comes
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: home and she finds Rob painting the side of the house.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: And she and Rob stop and are talking about how
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: beautiful it's going to look when the painting's done. And
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: out of the corner of her eye, Vicki sees something
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: in the forest that was on the edge of their property.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: And it was actually a man standing with a red
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: t-shirt on, just standing like looking at their property. And
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: as she's looking at him, he turns around and he
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: starts walking away. farther into the forest. And so she
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: kind of looks and before she says anything to Rob,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the guy has just vanished into the woods. And so
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: she just goes, Rob, Rob, I just saw someone standing
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: on our property. He had a red shirt on and
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: he was right over there. And Rob immediately is like, well,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: you know, honestly, we moved into a serial killer's house.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: We should accept that there's going to be people that
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: are just going to want to speak onto our property
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to get a look at this building. And so they
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: walk over to where Vicki has seen this guy in red,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and they look, and, you know, there's no one there.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: They yell out, like, hey, is anybody here? And no
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: one's there. And so even though it was pretty unsettling,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Vicki and Rob just decide that I guess this is
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the reality of living here, is that you're going to
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: have people spying on you a little bit because of
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the notoriety of the home. So later that night, Joe
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: is in his apartment, and he's doing some dishes, and
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: it's late at night, probably like 10 or 11 o'clock
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: at night, and he hears a knock on the door.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: And he's literally mid dishes. His hands are wet. And
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: so he turns off the water and he yells out, hey,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: just a second. And he starts toweling off his hands.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: And as he's doing that, the knocking gets louder and
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: more aggressive. And he's like, hey, hold on. I'm just
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: drying my hands off. Hold on. And he assumes it's
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Vicky or Rob. And so he starts walking over and
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the knocking is just incessant. And he finally opens the door.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: door and no one's there it wasn't like the knocking
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: was going on and stopped and then he went over
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: there and opened it it was literally like the knocking
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: was happening as he's opening the door and no one
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: is standing there he's like immediately on guard like okay
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: someone like on the roof like bending down and Is
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: someone hiding? Like, what's going on? And he kind of
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: pokes his head out and he's looking around. And he
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: actually steps out onto the front steps there and he's
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: looking around. And he figured, like, if someone had knocked,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: they'd be running away if they're gone already. And he
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: can't hear anything. It's just silent. There's no one there.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: And then he goes back into his apartment, shuts it,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: bolts the door shut. And out of the corner of
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: his eye, he spots what looks like a man in
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: his bedroom, basically just walking past the doorframe into his bedroom.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: And it totally startles him. His dog starts growling and
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: looking in the direction of the bedroom. And so he
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: walks over there and looks in his bedroom and there's
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: nothing there. He flips on all the lights. He looks
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: around and he's like, what's going on here? Like it totally,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: totally scared him. So Joe had only been in this
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: apartment for about three weeks. And one of the things
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: he had kind of developed a habit doing was in
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: the evenings, he would take his dog, Fred, For a
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: walk along the driveway. That was well lit. And the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: driveway was pretty long. It was a big piece of property.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: And he would take his dog up to the end
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: of the driveway. And then walk back. And because of
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: what he's just witnessed. With the knocking on the door.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: And what looked like someone in his apartment. He decides
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: he just wants to clear his head. And go on
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: a walk with his dog. And he figured he could
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: maybe swing by the main house. And see if the
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: lights were on. In Rob and Vicky's house. Because in
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: some way. Maybe if their lights were on. It would
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: indicate that. maybe they had been over and had been
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: knocking on his door and tomorrow he'll find out what
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: it was about. Like he's searching for a way to
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: rationalize this. And he notices right away that Vicki and
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Rob's house is totally dark. They're asleep. He doesn't make
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: it very far when his dog stops. The dog starts
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: taking off into the tree line. And before Joe actually
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: takes off after his dog, he looks up and he
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: breaks out through some of the lighting over the driveway
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: that there is a man in red and with a
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: red t-shirt that's at the edge of the forest. And
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: his back is turned, and he's walking into the forest,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: and as Joe's looking, it looks like the man in
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: red actually disappears. And so the dog is heading straight
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: for this man in red, and so Joe, because it's
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: his dog, he loves his dog, he starts running after
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the dog. Even though he's absolutely terrified of what's going
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: to happen here, he couldn't let his dog get harmed.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: So he chases into the woods, makes it like a
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: few feet into the woods, where he finds his dog.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: that's now not barking and is actually facing back out
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: at Joe and it's kind of cowering, looking at where
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Joe is now standing. And Joe kind of begins to
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: turn and the man in red is standing right next
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: to him, looking directly at Joe. And Joe just panics
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: and starts running out, doesn't stop to do anything. The
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: dog follows Joe and they run back to Joe's apartment,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: run upstairs, shut the doors, shut the blinds, lock everything.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: And they just sit there. For the rest of the night,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Joe is literally checking his window and looking outside because
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: he doesn't know if he just saw that or not
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: because that person in red had vanished a minute ago.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: He thought that perhaps he was convincing himself that he
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: saw someone in red because he had just seen like
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: a ghost in his apartment like a few minutes earlier.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: And he's starting to think that maybe he's just kind
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: of hallucinating all this stuff or that he's imagining all
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: this stuff. So he wasn't quite prepared. to go tell
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Rob and Vicky or do anything about it. So he
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: just spent the night basically looking out his window and
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: making sure no one was coming into his residence again.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: And so the next morning he goes and tells Rob
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: and Vicky what happened the night before. Everything from the
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: knocking on the door to the person that he thought
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: he saw inside of his apartment to then ultimately the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: man in red that his dog chased after. As he's
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: telling them about this exchange with the man in red,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Vicky is getting pretty emotional. And Vicki is like, I
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: saw a man in red. And she points to the
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: area of their property. And it's the same area that
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Joe had just been describing where this had all happened.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: She was like, I saw a man in red right
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: over there. Like, what's going on? So that night, Joe
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: is in his apartment. And Joe is definitely on edge
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: about what had happened the night before. He's increasingly almost
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: listening for noises outside because of how scary the night
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: before was. And he forgoes his walk on the driveway
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: with his dog. I think he's pretty much done doing
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: that after that encounter. And as he's in his apartment,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: he hears knocking on the door again. And he yells,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: who is it? Who's at the door? And no answer.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: But the knocking continues. And it's one of those knockers.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: It's the actual knocker on the outside of the door
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: that's being hit over and over again. He can see
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the door actually shaking from how hard this is being
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: banged against the door. And finally, after like poking his
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: head out and seeing no one, rips the door open
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: and no one's there and he looks at the door
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: itself and the knocker is perpendicular to the ground like
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: someone's holding it up but no one's there and as
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: he's looking at it it swings down and knocks the
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: door one last time he slams the door shut locks
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: it and he's absolutely petrified he sees the doorknob on
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the door start to turn he can hear the sound
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: of the spring tightening as the doorknob slowly turns all
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the way over into the open position The door's locked,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: but the doorknob's been twisted. And he's looking at the door,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: and then there's silence after the doorknob's being held in the,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: you call it, open position. And then all of a sudden,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: it bursts open, breaking the lock. No one's outside. And
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: he looks at it, and he's absolutely frozen for a second.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: And then he just runs out of his apartment to
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: see who is doing this. No one's there. When he
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: turns around and looks into his apartment, He sees a
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: man in white, not in red, who is soaked head
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: to toe, screaming and running towards him, who runs out
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: of the apartment past him and vanishes into the air.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: And so he takes off, Joe. He's not sticking around
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: to grab his dog, runs to Rob and Vicky's, and
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: he goes in and tells them what happened. Joe, Rob,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: and Vicky are so scared that now they're not even,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: they're not trying to rationalize that this wasn't a ghost,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: let's say. They're trying to convince themselves that this is
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: a friendly ghost. that these are the victims of Herbert
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Baumeister that have been tormented by Baumeister, but they're here
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: because they're trapped here. That man you saw in your apartment,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: you know, that was a victim of Herbert Baumeister escaping
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: from Herbert Baumeister. You know, the man in red, that
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: was a victim of Herbert Baumeister. We're dealing with the
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: victims here because so many people had their lives snuffed
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: out here. And so it isn't really calming them, but
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: it's like they're creating a narrative that fits what's happening.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Because without a story, this is impossible to understand. And
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: so they really start to believe that what they're experiencing
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: is a haunting, but it is of Herb Baumeister's victims
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: basically acting out their final moments or kind of leading
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: them to what happened to these victims. And so that night, Joe, Rob,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: and Vicki start going online and researching who the victims were,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the known victims of Herb Baumeister. And there's images of
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: all of these different victims. And as they're scrolling through
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: all the pictures, Joe stops them on one and he goes,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: that's the guy that was in my apartment. It looks
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: exactly like the guy that was soaking wet, screaming that
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: ran out of my apartment. Like that confirms, this is
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: a confirmation to the three of them that the, the
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: entity they're experiencing in this property, uh, is definitely the victim.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: So they, they do feel reassured at this point, scared,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: but reassured that these are the victims. And so they
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: start really aggressively researching the Baumeister case and And they
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: come to realize that there's actually a number of victims,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: more than likely that have not been uncovered, that have
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: been buried on this property. Only lending, in their mind,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: more credibility to the idea that this is a property
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: that is haunted by the victims of Herb Baumeister. And
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: so after a couple of days where there isn't much activity,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Joe decides to go for a walk in the woods
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: in the same area where the man in red had
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: been seen by Vicky and by himself a couple days earlier.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: And he just decides, you know, in broad daylight, I'm
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: going to go for a walk with my dog out
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: in the woods. And so he starts walking in that
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: direction and literally sitting on the leaves, like practically on
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: the trail in plain sight is a human bone. It's
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: a femur bone just sitting on the trail. Like the
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: idea that that bone wouldn't have been located during the
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: extensive search for bones on this property is nearly impossible.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: To Joe, the way he described it is, I feel
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: like that bone was left there for me to discover it.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: That the man in red who was more than likely
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: a victim of her Baumeister had led us, had led
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: me to finding that bone. And so they believe Joe,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Rob and Vicki, that when they send this bone in
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: for forensic analysis, that they'll determine that this was another
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: victim that perhaps hasn't been identified yet. And they're kind
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: of expecting it to be the man in red, whoever
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: that was. And so they, They end up calling, Rob
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: ends up calling the lead detective from the Baumeister case
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and says, hey, we found a bone. And so they
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: submit that and they take it in as evidence. And
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Rob asked the lead investigator if he would mind coming
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: to the property and just kind of explaining to them,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: you know, where things occurred on the property relative to
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the Baumeister case. Where did all the tragedy unfold? Where
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: were people buried? Just to give us a sense of
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: what we're dealing with here. And so the investigator agrees,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: and the investigator comes out, and the vast majority of
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the killings happened in the swimming pool, where Baumeister would
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: basically lure young men to come to his property to
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: go swimming. And as soon as they got in the pool,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: he would strangle them to death. And the weird thing
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: about the pool area is that Baumeister was, well, a psychopath.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: He had put mannequins all over the inside of this
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: swimming pool that had party outfits on. And so there
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: are these very eerie pictures of the swimming pool with
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: like mannequins all around the outside. And it was basically
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: a place where he lured his victims and ended their lives.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: A couple days later, Joe is in his apartment and
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: he's doing some work at his computer. And he hears
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: a metallic scraping sound coming from his kitchen. And so
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: he goes over to his kitchen and he finds that
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: all of the knives that were in his butcher's block
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: have been pulled out and lined up neatly in the
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: bottom of his sink. like very neatly arranged. And he's
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: looking at it like, I didn't do that. And he
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: turns towards his workstation, like as if to look around
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: the room. And he notices on the island that sits
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: where he was standing right in front of him, a
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: little bit low down, like halfway up the island, there
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: was all these fresh cut marks in the wood, like
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: quite a number of cut marks across the wood. And
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: he's looking at that and he's thinking to himself, is
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: this one of the victims telling me that, you know,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: perhaps they had been attacked with a knife right here
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: in the kitchen. He's thinking like it's his duty to,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: to try to figure out, uh, which victim this was
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: and what happened to them. And so, and so he
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: gets his iPhone out and he turns on the voice
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: recorder and he starts recording and asking some questions, uh,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: of the room. And he make first, make sure to
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: turn off the TV, turn off the AC. So it's quiet.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: And so with his recorder, he starts asking like, who's
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: anybody here? And there's silence. And he's like, uh, Who
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: was the person in the kitchen? Who was walking through
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: the kitchen? And there's silence. And then when he asks
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: again about was there anybody in the kitchen, his dog
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: starts growling and reacting to something in the room. And
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: now Joe hasn't heard anything. He's not heard any confirmation that,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: you know, there's someone in the room. He actually felt
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: quite silly doing it. He takes his phone back to
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: his computer because he takes his dog growling as maybe
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: somehow confirmation that there was something there. And he downloads
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: the audio file and he listens to it. And as
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: he's listening to the file, right after he asks about
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: is there anybody in the kitchen, he gets a response.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Who keeps walking in the kitchen? Who's in the kitchen?
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: The married one. And so as Joe is looking through
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: all their files, he's seeing that every single victim was single.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: No one's married. They're all young men who are single.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: The only one who was married, involved in this case,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: was none other than the serial killer himself, Herb Baumeister.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: And so Joe has had this revelation, and it's when
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: he realizes that it's not just the victims here. Herb Baumeister,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: the serial killer himself, is haunting this property. So I'd
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: love to hear what you think is going on at
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Fox Hollow Farm, whether this is a haunting with Herb
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Baumeister himself, showing himself and speaking on audio files, or
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: if this is just a big hoax. I'd love to
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: hear what you think. And if you want to get
