  Speaker 1: Yo, welcome back to great Dust.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: We're in person again. Baby, back in the library, we're
• 0:22
  reading three Little grab Bag.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Maybe were these ones that were on the tails from
• 0:26
  the creeps?
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: No, these are old.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: These are all older. These are all older.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: But we are getting we are going to be reading
• 0:31
  some tales in the creeds here pretty soon. These are
• 0:33
  so oh yeah, this is fourteen years ago from a
• 0:35
  deleted user. This first one that we're reading is called
• 0:37
  the strangest security tape I've ever seen. And then wait,
• 0:41
  the next one is my doorbell sends a motion detected
• 0:44
  alert every night. At two fifty three, found a form
• 0:46
  full of users experiencing the exact same issue. Now, something
• 0:49
  seriously strange is going on. And then lastly, I was
• 0:52
  in air traffic controller at Atlantic Municipal Airport, Iowa for
• 0:55
  twenty seven years. My first year at the job, I
• 0:57
  unwillingly went from a firm atheist to a lever. The
• 1:00
  long overdue end this is these are old with long
• 1:04
  ass titles like those. You bet your bottom dollar these
• 1:06
  are fucking old stories, dude. Lord well, the doorbell one's
• 1:10
  four years old, the doorbell one is Yeah, it's hearkening back, dude,
• 1:14
  it's it's it has an old soul.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so yes, we are in person again. Harry picked
• 1:18
  me up from the airport, not hunter. Harry picked me
• 1:20
  up from the airport, which I was gonna hang over him.
• 1:23
  But we're getting started on the recording two hours late
• 1:25
  because I overslept.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: So that is true.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: This is really weird, you know, if you think about it.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: We should actually already have an episode done.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: You made me wait at the airport, so I made
• 1:36
  you waited, not affect literally anything it could have, you know,
• 1:41
  hypothetically given given time and strains, and so so I
• 1:45
  think we're even. It's what I'm trying to trying to
• 1:47
  say about.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Hey, if you're listening to on Apple
• 1:51
  Podcasts or Spotify, leave us a good review. And if
• 1:54
  you are our Patreon, thank you or considered joining the patreon.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: There's good stuff there. Don't get that shrug in there.
• 2:06
  There's good stuff.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Well. I think the shrugs on brand for you. And
• 2:09
  you do like the sad e boy thing a lot.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when they see me, they usually think of an
• 2:14
  e boy.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, by definition, can morbidly obese people be e boys.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: On the the end, you're not morbidly obese. Yes, you can,
• 2:23
  you absolutely can.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So the stranger security tape I've ever seen has
• 2:28
  been recommended a ton. I don't think you're familiar with
• 2:31
  this story, but it is an og. This thing has
• 2:34
  been around a while. Pretty much everyone who did like
• 2:35
  creepypasta readings back in the day covered it. We will
• 2:38
  begin with that one and again the other ones. Harry
• 2:40
  said that there is a theme to these stories, like
• 2:43
  an interconnected thing, so we'll see what that is as
• 2:46
  we go, but we can begin with the stranger security tape.
• 2:50
  Are you ready to get into it? Oh? Already, then
• 2:52
  let us begin. I work at a gas station in
• 2:55
  rural Pennsylvania. Already, it's terrifying entry.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: It's a went to Philly, one of the worst cities
• 3:02
  in America.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: That's scary.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Maybe not as bad as Saint Louis, but horrible, crashy, horrible,
• 3:08
  horrible place, horrible fans of anything anything they like, they
• 3:14
  just love to hate and tear down.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: I worked at a gas station in rural Pennsylvania. It's
• 3:19
  a boring job, but it's pretty easy and it pays
• 3:22
  all right. A few weeks ago, this new guy started
• 3:26
  I'll call him Jeremy. Jeremy is weird. He's about twenty
• 3:29
  five or twenty six, and he hardly speaks, but he's
• 3:32
  got the creepiest laugh I've ever heard. My boss and
• 3:35
  I have both noticed this, but it's never been a problem,
• 3:38
  so there's not much we can do about it. Customers
• 3:41
  have never complained about him, and he's always done his
• 3:44
  job fairly well up until a few weeks ago, anyway.
• 3:48
  That's when things started going missing. Employee theft can be
• 3:52
  a problem at any business that sells consumer goods, and
• 3:55
  there's only one person working at a time. At this
• 3:57
  gas station, it's a pretty small player. About two weeks ago,
• 4:02
  my boss started noticing that we were short on motor oil.
• 4:05
  At first it was a few containers at a time,
• 4:08
  then the entire shelves and boxes from the back room.
• 4:12
  Pretty soon, entire shipments would be gone day after we
• 4:15
  got them, and it would always be right after Jeremy's shifts.
• 4:19
  My boss has checked the security camera tapes from every
• 4:22
  single night he worked, but he could never catch him
• 4:25
  in the act. Jeremy would lock up closing and the
• 4:28
  motor oil would be on the next day. My boss
• 4:31
  usually takes the tapes home with him to try and
• 4:33
  catch Jeremy stealing. But his daughter at a softball game
• 4:36
  last night, so he asked me to watch the tape
• 4:38
  for him. He offered to pay me overtime under the table,
• 4:41
  so obviously I took the offer. There are three cameras,
• 4:46
  so he gave me three different tapes to check. I
• 4:49
  figured it'd be a long night, but I'm trying to
• 4:51
  save up for vacation, so I really needed that money.
• 4:54
  Took the tapes home, popped them in the old VCR
• 4:56
  set back two days ago. The last time he worked.
• 5:00
  Jeremy started at four pm. Everything seemed pretty normal at first.
• 5:04
  He counted up his drawer, switched off the girl, switched
• 5:08
  off with the girl who was working before him, and
• 5:10
  waited for a customer. The first person who came in
• 5:13
  was Missus Templeton. The time stamp on the video read
• 5:17
  four to three. A regular picked up her cigarettes in
• 5:20
  a newspaper and paid with a twenty. Nothing unusual there.
• 5:23
  The next customer was some local guy named Ron. He
• 5:26
  drives a motorcycle, usually comes in every few days, filled
• 5:30
  up his tank, got a back of beef jerky, paid
• 5:32
  with his credit card and then left next with some
• 5:35
  guy with a cowboy hat. I've never seen him before.
• 5:38
  We get plenty of strangers passing through, just like any
• 5:41
  gas station. He got forty dollars worth of diesel fuel,
• 5:43
  paid with one hundred dollars. Bill went on his way
• 5:45
  back inside. Another thing more boring than doing this job
• 5:48
  is watching someone else do it. My boss's offer was
• 5:50
  enough to keep me watching, though, so I left the tapeon.
• 5:54
  Everything seemed pretty normal, at a feeling that if Jeremy
• 5:57
  was Steely motor Oil, he knew we were suspicious of
• 5:59
  him by now, I didn't expect him to be dumb
• 6:02
  enough to let us catch him on camera. Banks stayed
• 6:05
  bored and routine until about five o'clock. At five o three,
• 6:09
  Missus Templeton came back in. She must have forgotten something,
• 6:13
  but she did it. She bought the same pack of
• 6:15
  cigarettes as before, in the same newspaper. She paid with
• 6:19
  another twenty That's odd, I thought, But then again, she's
• 6:23
  a little absent minded. I thought Jeremy should have told
• 6:26
  her she already got her smokes. But it's not against
• 6:28
  the rules to sell somebody the same thing twice. That's
• 6:31
  when Ron came in again, bought another tank of gas
• 6:34
  for his motorcycle. Again. I later checked the outdoor camera
• 6:37
  because I thought maybe he had another car he won
• 6:39
  to fill up and the same pack of beef jerkey.
• 6:42
  He paid with his credit card. Again, no big deal.
• 6:45
  I figured this was just a weird coincidence. Missus Templeton
• 6:48
  is forgetful and Ron probably owns more than one Harley.
• 6:51
  That's when the guy in the cowboy hat came back in.
• 6:53
  I felt a chill run down my spine.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Don't get diesel, don't get diesel.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: I found myself whispering to my living room. But he did.
• 7:02
  He got forty dollars worth of diesel fuel and paid
• 7:05
  with another one hundred dollars bill. Every move he made
• 7:08
  was identical to his first visit, right down to the
• 7:10
  way he scratched his nose before he walked down either
• 7:13
  This guy's rich owns a lot of trucks and just
• 7:16
  moved into town where something really bizarre was happening. I
• 7:20
  kept watching every customer for the next hour was the
• 7:23
  same as before, every single one. It was seriously freaked out.
• 7:28
  And then at six p' oh three, Misus Simpleton walked
• 7:31
  back in She bought her cigarettes and newspaper again and
• 7:34
  paid with the twenty again. Thought I was going to
• 7:36
  lose it. I only watched another half hour before I
• 7:38
  started fast forwarding through the rest. It was all the same.
• 7:42
  Every customer would come in at the exact same times,
• 7:45
  exactly one hour apart. Now I know what you're thinking,
• 7:48
  That sneaky guy Jeremy had messed with the tapes. He
• 7:51
  had run a loop of his first hour of do it.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: I said, mother fucker, Oh thank you? Were you?
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Thank you, honter? He had run a loop of his
• 7:57
  first hour of business over and over. That wasn't the case.
• 8:02
  There are windows around the cash register area that the
• 8:04
  camera covers, and I watched the sunlight fade as time
• 8:07
  ran on. Jeremy's routine didn't loop over. He swept, mopped, restocked,
• 8:12
  and did all his duties exactly how you would expect.
• 8:15
  But the same customers kept coming in. That's that's a
• 8:19
  neat touch because I was thinking the exact same thing,
• 8:21
  like this is just a looped hour of footage. But
• 8:24
  you can see him, Jeremy being different in between each
• 8:27
  person and stuff like that.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to worked. I used to work at Dollar
• 8:31
  General back in the day.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Is there anywhere you haven't worked I felt like I've
• 8:35
  worked at a lot of places. It's crazy.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I used to work at Dollar General back in the day,
• 8:38
  and some of the people I worked with, I feel
• 8:39
  like you could show them this footage and they just
• 8:41
  would not give a fuck, Like do you think the
• 8:44
  people would be do you think you'd be.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Like, honestly, do you think he'd be like that this
• 8:48
  is insane? Or like do you think that.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: I think if they thought about it, I mean, if
• 8:53
  they were absent mindedly looking at the screen, the no,
• 8:57
  But if they took time, like it is weird that
• 8:59
  these people are on tracks over and over for some
• 9:01
  reason the whole day. Yeah.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of people I have worked with her
• 9:04
  they'd just be like, I don't know, it's just weird.
• 9:06
  And it didn't just turn off.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, there are some people who maybe I guess
• 9:13
  would be low IQ enough that they'd be like, yeah,
• 9:16
  this is something like incomprehensible entity. I don't like it. Yeah.
• 9:20
  I was panicking at this point. Something was seriously wrong
• 9:23
  with what I was seeing and I had no explanation
• 9:25
  for it. I skipped ahead to when he locked up
• 9:28
  and walked out to his car. He hadn't stolen anything,
• 9:31
  but I kept watching just to make sure. FAST forwarded
• 9:35
  one last time to about midnight. At exactly twelve o three,
• 9:39
  out of nowhere, Jeremy's face pops up on camera. I
• 9:44
  don't mean he moved his head into view. I mean
• 9:46
  that one second the store was emptied, the next second,
• 9:49
  his face was all I could see. He wasn't looking
• 9:52
  at the camera. He was looking at me. I was
• 9:55
  sure of it. I screamed and fumbled for the remote.
• 10:00
  The time I grabbed it, he was gone. Just as
• 10:02
  soon as he had left one frame, he was there,
• 10:05
  the next he wasn't. My hands were shaking like crazy.
• 10:09
  But I popped in another tape. The other indoor camera
• 10:12
  shows the back area by the cash register, and I
• 10:14
  would be able to see how he got up to
• 10:16
  put his face in the camera like that. Skipped ahead
• 10:18
  to twelve oh three, but there was nothing. I would
• 10:21
  have been able to see him standing on a chair
• 10:23
  or something on this tape, but he wasn't there. I
• 10:26
  didn't see him enter the store at all. After he left.
• 10:30
  It's like he wasn't really there. He doesn't know the
• 10:33
  security code, No alarms were triggered that night after he
• 10:35
  locked up. What I did see, however, was that at
• 10:39
  twelve oh three, the motor oil vanished off the shelf,
• 10:43
  all of it same as Jeremy's face. One second it
• 10:46
  was there and the next it wasn't. I turned the
• 10:49
  tape off and went to bed, but I didn't get
• 10:51
  a wink of sleep. My body's exhausted right now, but
• 10:54
  my mind is racing. That tape was undoubtedly the creepiest,
• 10:58
  most disturbing thing I've ever seen my life. I work
• 11:01
  in a few hours. The boss asked me to bring
• 11:03
  the tapes back in and let him know what I found.
• 11:06
  But really, what the hell am I gonna say? Jeremy
• 11:10
  works the night Ship tonight directly after me, and the
• 11:13
  plan is for my boss to come in just before
• 11:15
  I leave and confront him with me. So I'm supposed
• 11:18
  to be the one who caught him stealing. I have
• 11:20
  no idea what I'm going to do. I suppose I'll
• 11:23
  have to show my boss the tapes, but I don't
• 11:25
  want to watch them again. But I don't want to
• 11:27
  watch them with him. I never want to see something
• 11:29
  like that again. I can't get the image of Jeremy
• 11:33
  just smiling directly into the camera. Out of my mind.
• 11:36
  It was the creepiest look I've ever seen on another
• 11:39
  human beings face. Anyway, I'm going to try again to
• 11:42
  get some last minute sleep before I have to go
• 11:44
  in and deal with this. I'll let you guys know
• 11:47
  what happens. Update two forty nine pm updating from my phone.
• 11:51
  Apologies in advance for ers. My boss just finished watching
• 11:54
  the last of the tapes. I told them what to expect,
• 11:57
  but you really can't prepare someone for something like that.
• 12:00
  He scared shitless. I still am two and Jeremy is
• 12:03
  due to come in at four. We've got a little
• 12:06
  over an hour to get our shit together, but neither
• 12:08
  of us knows what to say to him. Is he
• 12:11
  just a screwed up guy who likes to steal motor
• 12:14
  oil and scare the shit out of people? Or is
• 12:17
  he something else? I don't know if this is crazy,
• 12:19
  but does anyone think he could have anything to do
• 12:22
  with the time loop? My boss said he never noticed
• 12:25
  anything like that in the other tapes, but the way
• 12:27
  he popped up in this one made me think he
• 12:29
  knew I would be watching. It's like he wanted me
• 12:32
  to see what he could do, Like he was showing
• 12:35
  off or something. The way he smiled into the camera,
• 12:38
  it's like a little kid showing you a sand castle.
• 12:40
  They just built her something. I don't know. I probably
• 12:45
  sound crazy. I sure feel the part. We're going to
• 12:48
  talk to my boss some more. We have to calm
• 12:50
  ourselves down and figure out how to handle this. I'll
• 12:52
  love date again tonight, but I have a really bad
• 12:54
  feeling about how this is going to play out. Update
• 12:57
  four thirty three, no sign of Jeremy. Tried calling him,
• 13:01
  but his phone has been disconnected. We're calling the police.
• 13:04
  Update five thirty three, no sign of Jeremy tried calling him,
• 13:08
  his phone has been disconnected. Calling the police. That exact
• 13:11
  loop repeats again at six thirty three, seven thirty three,
• 13:13
  and eight thirty three, So at the thirty three, in
• 13:16
  a roll of every hour, the same thing he was
• 13:18
  seeing on the security camera with the customers, the loop
• 13:20
  un till there's an update at ten fifty eight. Holy shit,
• 13:24
  Holy shit, holy shit. I just got home and saw
• 13:26
  my previous updates. Things make less sense now than ever.
• 13:31
  Here's what I can tell you. I went to work,
• 13:34
  Jeremy never showed up, but my boss and I decided
• 13:36
  to call the police. As you're well aware, when I
• 13:39
  picked up the phone to call, though, the sun went out.
• 13:42
  I shouldn't you not. That's what I thought happened. Apparently
• 13:45
  I blacked out for exactly five hours, because when I
• 13:49
  looked at the clock it was nine thirty three. I
• 13:51
  think I got stuck in Jeremy's time loop and then
• 13:53
  I snapped out of it at that exact point I
• 13:56
  blacked out. That makes sense, but that's what things got
• 13:59
  really weird. My boss was right next to me when
• 14:01
  I blacked out, ready to corroborate my story to the cops.
• 14:05
  When I came to the phone was in my hand,
• 14:07
  but it was dead, not even a dial tone. My
• 14:11
  boss was still right there, but he wasn't moving. He
• 14:14
  was standing up frozen. I looked at the clock again
• 14:17
  and it wasn't moving. The second hand was stuck on
• 14:20
  the twelfth. It was nine thirty three, exactly block on
• 14:25
  the register computer screen wasn't moving either. My phone was frozen.
• 14:30
  There was even a customer at the register waiting for
• 14:32
  my boss to get them cigarettes and betting that would
• 14:35
  have been his fifth pack of the day. I got
• 14:38
  out of there, didn't lock up, didn't turn the lights out.
• 14:41
  Sorry guys, didn't grab the security tapes to upload on
• 14:43
  the internet. Believe me, that was the last thing on
• 14:46
  my mind. The gas station is on a major highway
• 14:49
  and cars were parked all along it, except they weren't parked,
• 14:52
  they were frozen. The people inside were setting still as
• 14:56
  wax statues. I got in my car and prayed that
• 14:59
  it would start. Thankfully it did. About halfway home, time
• 15:02
  started up again. Static from the radio turned into music
• 15:06
  like it's supposed to be, and for what I could
• 15:08
  tell by listening to the host talk in between songs,
• 15:10
  no one noticed the time freeze or whatever it was.
• 15:14
  I was the only one. Well, I'm sure Jeremy noticed
• 15:18
  as well. I still have no clue where he is
• 15:21
  or what he's doing. I'm hiding in my room and
• 15:23
  calling the police again in the morning. I don't know
• 15:26
  if I ever got through to them before, or if
• 15:28
  I did, whether they took me seriously scared for my
• 15:32
  life at this point. An update tomorrow if I can.
• 15:36
  Final update ten thirty three am. I finally fell asleep
• 15:40
  last night around four. I have no idea how I
• 15:43
  did it. I guess exhaustion finally got the best of
• 15:46
  me this morning. I woke up to my phone ringing
• 15:49
  it was my boss. You've been calling me since about six.
• 15:53
  He woke up when time turned back on last night
• 15:56
  and immediately called the cops. They came back to see
• 15:59
  what was wrong, and he told them everything. The police
• 16:01
  around here are all small time guys. They were more
• 16:04
  concerned with the missing motor oil than anything, but my
• 16:06
  boss figured he would take it as long as he
• 16:09
  had their attention. They decided to go looking for Jeremy.
• 16:12
  We keep all employee applications on file. Since Jeremy just
• 16:15
  started working here, as was easy to find. They checked
• 16:18
  the address on it and headed over to his house.
• 16:21
  They're not going to believe what they found. The address
• 16:23
  Jeremy listed on his application was an empty lot, or
• 16:27
  at least now it is. There used to be a
• 16:30
  house there, but it burned down in nineteen ninety three.
• 16:34
  Being a small town, almost everyone remembers that fire. A
• 16:38
  family of four used to live there way back when.
• 16:41
  Rumor has it that they had an estranged son who
• 16:44
  they never really talked about. But I can't say for
• 16:47
  sure if that's true. What I can say is true
• 16:50
  is that after an insurance investigation, the fire was ruled
• 16:53
  in arson and the entire house was soaked in oil
• 16:56
  and torched with a Molotov cocktail. The entire family was
• 16:59
  sleeping it happened. None of them survived. They never caught
• 17:02
  the guy who did it. Rumor has it that when
• 17:05
  they try to contact the estranged son, no one could
• 17:08
  find him. Anyway. My boss called and told me this,
• 17:11
  and I freaked out. Then he asked me to come
• 17:14
  to the gas station. What are you crazy, I said,
• 17:17
  but he assured me that the cops were there with him.
• 17:19
  Then he dropped a bomb. The FBI were also in town,
• 17:22
  that they were going to talk to me one way
• 17:24
  or another, so I might as well come in. It
• 17:27
  was about seven point fifteen and I wanted to go
• 17:29
  back to bed, but I figured I wouldn't be able
• 17:31
  to sleep much more anyway, so I went down. Four minute.
• 17:34
  Suits greeted me and told me to have a seat.
• 17:36
  We went over everything she were three times until they
• 17:38
  got all the details down. I told him about Jeremy,
• 17:42
  the security tape last night at work, everything. Finally, after
• 17:46
  I finished, one of the agents said.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Oh Christ, we've got another one on our hands.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Then they made me sign a bunch of papers and
• 17:52
  I wouldn't tell anyone about what happened, so I can't
• 17:54
  say much more. I might be breaking the law just
• 17:57
  by posting this. So now I'm home, I'm not sure
• 17:59
  what to do with myself. That agent's words when I
• 18:02
  told him the story, You're going to haunt me for
• 18:03
  the rest of my life. Anyway. I've got to go
• 18:06
  have some errands to run a day, and then I
• 18:08
  have to go into work to pick up some tapes.
• 18:11
  My boss and I think this new guy, Jeremy, he's
• 18:13
  a complete creep stealing motor oil, and I have to
• 18:16
  watch the security footage see if I can catch him
• 18:18
  doing it. I have better things to do. My boss
• 18:21
  is paying me over time under the table, and I'm
• 18:24
  trying to save it for vacation, so I could really
• 18:26
  use the money. Should be pretty simple. The oil always
• 18:29
  goes missing right after his shifts. I figure I'll just
• 18:32
  watch the tapes, catch him in the act, and that
• 18:34
  will be that.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: So the end of you just like forget that.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: He just it's a time loop. It's a bigger time
• 18:40
  He's a bigger time loop. Yeah, he's in this like
• 18:42
  bigger pocket of that I don't know where. So this
• 18:46
  is a this is a story people share around a lot,
• 18:48
  talked about a lot. I get it. It's a fun
• 18:49
  little like you know, was it also.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Just one of those stories back in the day that
• 18:52
  it was so new that it was like, Oh, that's
• 18:54
  a cool way that I didn't know. I didn't know
• 18:56
  that you could approach creepypastas in that kind of way
• 18:57
  or something.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, And I mean like the idea of some
• 19:00
  security tapes and time loops are fun and stuff like this.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: We need the oil. We know the oil?
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Uh the arson fight. I yes, it's tied to the
• 19:08
  arson somehow, because it's an empty lot and there was
• 19:11
  a fire a long time ago. So maybe Jeremy, Jeremy's
• 19:15
  obviously the strange son, right, but maybe it's not so
• 19:17
  much in a strange son. Maybe like Jeremy is some
• 19:21
  entity who's always been this age and like the family
• 19:24
  knew and then the house burned down. But maybe to
• 19:27
  the family, like there's still existent in a time loop
• 19:30
  for like the past thirty years, and Jeremy is the
• 19:34
  one like the thing causing the fire and now he
• 19:37
  comes here and it's starting to spread basically to other people.
• 19:39
  And now we see here that there's time loops within
• 19:41
  time loops, because he thought that earlier the previous night,
• 19:45
  he's like, whoa, I just went through one, not realizing
• 19:47
  the whole day, like twenty four hour cycle is a
• 19:50
  greater one as well. So it's some entity that's like
• 19:53
  messing with their experience of time and stuff like that.
• 19:58
  And also we don't know how far it spreads, because
• 20:00
  if the house that's on fire is in a time loop,
• 20:03
  then to them they're still there, but to everyone else
• 20:05
  it was a lot that burned down years ago.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure I read a story this is like
• 20:09
  a while back, but it was like an Illinois in
• 20:11
  southern Illinois.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: There's just like O'Reilly's manager that was.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Like dumping oil in like a in like a bucket
• 20:19
  or something, and he was like he would like wipe
• 20:21
  his skin with it like oil. I don't know if
• 20:25
  it was used, but I just I thought I heard
• 20:27
  something where he had like some kind of bucket in
• 20:29
  the back he would like take off his shirt and
• 20:31
  like rub oil on his arms and his chest and
• 20:35
  all that kind of shit. I don't know if it
• 20:37
  was going to something like that. I mean, arson things
• 20:39
  kind of cool, but it would be cool if Jeremy
• 20:43
  was he was gonna phone with all these old stories. Well,
• 20:47
  there's just like some i mean borderline autistic guy almost
• 20:53
  always and they're just like, yeah, he's a freak, he's
• 20:55
  such a weirdo. Let's watch on the cameras because I
• 20:58
  feel like he's stealing oil, you know what I mean.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: I mean a lot more cruel Jeremy who flashes onto
• 21:06
  the camera.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: The first talk about him.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: I mean they how many autistic people do you know?
• 21:11
  They can create time?
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: They don't know that.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: No, No, well, first of all, they don't know that.
• 21:14
  I'm saying that from when their first starting someone said yeah, yeah,
• 21:18
  everyone raises their head. No, I'm saying that the uh
• 21:23
  I would saying when they first talk about him, they're like, oh, yeah,
• 21:25
  he was a fucking what if they said?
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: What did they say?
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: They said he was like slow and he was a
• 21:30
  weird guy, had a weird laugh. Also, I did what
• 21:32
  do you think his laugh sounded like? What do you
• 21:34
  think his laughs sound like? To where they that was
• 21:35
  like the one distinguishal thing about him.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: Like either a Tommy Taffy, like overly thing, or like
• 21:40
  a devilish laugh I would have watched.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Isn't that crazy? I think that's a crazy laugh to.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: If you if I told you a joke and you
• 21:48
  would yes, I would think that was pretty crazy.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: I almost prefer that laugh over your laugh. You you
• 22:01
  get high, he starts a lower that goes hi. How
• 22:06
  do you're like, you're the German in the situation, dude,
• 22:09
  not going to picture that security cam footage.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: You're just like waddling around, waddling around the store.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: I waddle.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Well, because they they made himself, did they not make
• 22:19
  him sound like a dopey bastard?
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: You just added that ee waddle without precedents.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Well, the wattle is just because of the dopey thing?
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, am I wrong?
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Didn't they say that they definitely were picking on this guy?
• 22:29
  Do you think that he like saw like?
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: Do you think he like says he not like a
• 22:33
  time looping dimensional thing that's caused the death of people
• 22:36
  and the entity? I think so? Yeah. The way he
• 22:40
  pops into the camera then disappears. Yeah, oh he puts
• 22:43
  everyone else in these time prisons.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: If you were an entity, why I have a guy
• 22:47
  people come in and get like cigarettes and a chocolate
• 22:50
  bar and gas for.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, like, what is it spreading? It's it's like
• 22:54
  it's like it started with the house. You No, it's
• 22:56
  spreading to other places.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: So it's just like infecting other areas in this time.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know what his reasoning is, but the
• 23:02
  FBI seems onto it because that whole We've got another
• 23:04
  one of these, so it seems like they're aware that
• 23:06
  it's spreading. We don't know why, but I wonder.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: What the laugh did sound like? Also, what do you
• 23:11
  think he saw?
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: Apparently sounds like my laugh because it's worse.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't think it's as bad as your laugh,
• 23:15
  but I think that the uh, you have a nice laugh,
• 23:20
  very nice the uh what I mean, what do you
• 23:23
  think he could have seen that would cause such a laugh?
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Well, especially an entity?
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: What are you talking about.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: The entity's laugh. They're saying that Jeremy's laughing like, oh,
• 23:31
  he had a weird laugh.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: It was always weird.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, obviously trying to fit in. He has a job
• 23:38
  at a gas station, that'd be weird.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I would say that's a fucking terrifying laugh. Yeah, he's
• 23:50
  like reading ah, He's like uh, he sees a shirt
• 23:53
  that's on like one of the racks of the store
• 23:55
  that says, like, what's the one thing?
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: It's just like, uh, I need to activate protocol coffee
• 24:00
  or where the fuck it is?
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: What was it? I need a firmware update in the coffee.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: I need a firmware update in the firm of coffee.
• 24:06
  He reads that shirt, He does, I would be fun
• 24:13
  watch them. I think that motherfucker's chugging five W thirty in.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: The back, feeling the oil. Yeah, uh yeah, this story
• 24:22
  is a classic. It's fun, especially fourteen years ago, especially
• 24:26
  then the market for scary stories that was out there.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: So sometimes I feel like this podcast would be a
• 24:30
  lot funner if we were like eight.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Like that, because I feel like a lot of people
• 24:37
  when they were reading this stuff.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: Back in the day, you were How do I interact
• 24:40
  with that?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Listen, I need a Hey, I ran out of my
• 24:44
  firmware update.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: I might need another one. I'm saying that.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: I'm saying that kids, kids reading these for the first time,
• 24:52
  might be like, isn't that crazy, So let's do it.
• 24:55
  I didn't have that. I didn't have that. What what
• 24:57
  age did you start reading these? A fetus Eleve was
• 25:03
  twelve fourteen years ago, So.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: I mean that's what I mean. It's like people kids
• 25:06
  that age being like, are you serious.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's when all this stuff freaks me out.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, because I feel like sometimes our viewers want.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: That us to be scared.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I don't think I don't think necessarily scared scared in episodes,
• 25:17
  Oh definitely. Yeah, But I'm just saying that I think
• 25:19
  that generally there's a want or desire for someone.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: To be like that's awesome?
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Is it bad that I'm not giving that.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: I think it's a cool concept. I'm not like, this
• 25:30
  is a terrifying super like. No, the strangest security tip
• 25:32
  I've ever seen isn't some magnum opus of writing. It's
• 25:36
  just good for when it came out, and it's an
• 25:40
  inventive concept. It's not another kind of creepy. It's not yeah,
• 25:44
  well the whole time it is. That's also another tale
• 25:46
  of like old creepypastas when it's like it's it's the
• 25:50
  haunted house down the street that they say the woman
• 25:53
  died at ten years ago, like they always tie it
• 25:55
  to some like you know, tragedy that happened back in the.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Day, because if you think about it, twelve I mean
• 26:00
  by that time Ghost Hunters and the Ghost Adventures, all that.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: Ship was popping off. I feel like they tie it in.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: Because that's what most horror movies did that too, Yeah, true, yeah,
• 26:09
  ghost So most horror movies have something where it's like, oh,
• 26:13
  well we found this newspaper that said someone died in
• 26:15
  the house for.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: How about a fucking guy.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: How about a time entity that's using oil rubbing on
• 26:21
  his skin, like that guy from the O'Reilly's that I
• 26:23
  read about. Yeah, and he's looping time to where it'll
• 26:27
  like affect his skin or something.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: He wants oil skin.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think, honestly, you could have done the
• 26:31
  time loop thing without tying it into the old thing.
• 26:33
  And also I'm kind of reaching a bit to make
• 26:35
  the connection between like that's a time loop there and
• 26:38
  stuff like that. I think that's what's implying, but it's
• 26:42
  it's like kind of a weak connection.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: You could do without it, kind of a capris on.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: My biggest takeaway from Matt was that this like supernatural
• 26:54
  time loop entity's name.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: Is Jeremine hav Having said, let's call him Jerreedy is.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Supernatural climateity named Jeremy is kind of a creator.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: His actual entity, his actual names like Orgone, Lucifer.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: He's called Jeremy. He drives. Yeah, he rides to work
• 27:15
  every day on his Mongoo.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: You're so sweet, Harry, Thank you, buddy, very kind Harry.
• 27:21
  Harry wakes me up after I sleep in an hour
• 27:22
  and a.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Half because I went down there and said, go fucking
• 27:25
  wake him up, is what I said.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: No, not pointing any names.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Uh, but he does that, I mean, not pointing names
• 27:31
  to you, motherfucker.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: No. I think I think, you know, it could have been.
• 27:34
  It's really one of those like, you know, class half full,
• 27:37
  half empty kind of things. But Harry brings me a coffee,
• 27:41
  and now he brings me red Bull and Dyke coke.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: This guy couldn't help but notice a lack of caprice.
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: Son.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: I think that says. That says a lot about your character.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it says a lot about you. Right after you
• 27:52
  said you wish you were eight years old, I'm saying.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: That I wish that we were eight years old doing
• 27:56
  this so we could have fantastical experiences reading this. I
• 27:58
  feel like if I was eight years old and I
• 27:59
  read my mom be fucking blown. Yeah, I'm sure that's
• 28:02
  what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, that sounds like I wish
• 28:03
  that we were twelve.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Hey, age of the average creep cast.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: I wish you were twelve, all right.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Also, we could get our bikes. You could ride bikes
• 28:12
  to a recording. You can do that now, No, no,
• 28:16
  not really. I'm saying that if I sat there, we did. Hey, guys,
• 28:19
  we're we're gonna go read a scary story down at
• 28:23
  my mom's barn. And we get on my mongoose. You're
• 28:26
  on the back pegs and.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: We're like whoa, and we have a goprofotage of that.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: People would love that we if we were eight, If
• 28:34
  we were eight.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, kids, Now you're like, I mean, I'm like.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: Forty, you're like, for one half of these people would
• 28:39
  love to see both of us on a bicycle. Anyway.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's any like, I don't think there's
• 28:44
  any structural bike that could hold me. That's point. Maybe
• 28:49
  maybe the mongoose. Maybe is mongoos still a thing?
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: I have no idea.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Are they like said, I think the song of Walmart
• 28:56
  you see, yeah, mongus bikes that was a good story.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: Uh uh yeah, yeah, I loved it.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: Uh, this is this is a this is a pussy
• 29:04
  getter right here?
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: Okay, Uh those were pretty cool.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Well maybe not this one. If they don't have pegs,
• 29:14
  then you can add the people. Do kids even care
• 29:17
  about pegs anymore?
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: I don't think kids are biking like they used to.
• 29:20
  I mean maybe they are. I'm gonna get my kid
• 29:23
  a bike, you know, which is cool to see now.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I'm just you know what I had when I was younger,
• 29:27
  or not what I had when my buddy had that.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: I used to ride when I was younger.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: I was a fat little boy, and I had my
• 29:33
  buddy had one of those fucking remember when like West
• 29:35
  Coast Choppers was really big. Are you're so much younger
• 29:37
  than us? You remember when it had? Though it was
• 29:39
  like an easy rider motorcycle bike, but it was in
• 29:41
  the shape of like they had like the fat back
• 29:43
  tire and the skinny front tire. See, impossible to ride
• 29:46
  up hills. It was horrible, but it looked so cool.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Let me see if I can find a picture of it.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: I had, Uh, I had a bike kind of like that,
• 29:54
  and my parents we we got really into biking for
• 29:56
  like a couple of years. We'd go to like these
• 29:58
  parks and bike around and stuff. Barons always had townies
• 30:01
  that's really nice with like the gears you could switch
• 30:04
  and stuff like that. I thought those were cool. Yeah,
• 30:06
  he doesn't care about whatever.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's a cool thing about your parents with
• 30:12
  a tandem bicycle or whatever.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: The uh they're called sting rays. That would explain why
• 30:18
  they don't work on hills. So for beaches, No it doesn't. No,
• 30:22
  here it is.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: This was a legitimate bike you could get.
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: I mean one hundred percent. See how a kid?
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh boy, impossible to.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Go they look it looks like a motorcycle.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Possible, especially with my fat ass ankles and stuff trying
• 30:35
  to push these pedals. Yeah right, hold on, guys like that.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: Come on. I want to take a moment to think
• 30:46
  today's sponsor Ridge Wallet, because Ridge has some of the
• 30:48
  most durable and stylish wallets on the market. Normal wallets
• 30:52
  clog up your pockets, making it impossible to take your
• 30:54
  phone or keys out. Putting a normal wallet in your
• 30:56
  back pocket leads to bad posture and back paint. So
• 30:59
  what do well? Do? What I do and get a
• 31:01
  Ridge wallet. Ridge has taken their game changing wallet and
• 31:04
  made it even better with Ridge two point zero. Ridge
• 31:07
  two point zero wallets have the perfect balance of form
• 31:09
  and function. They're ten percent lighter and are more modular
• 31:12
  with improved cash straps and money clips, and the overall
• 31:15
  improved surface design gives it a sleek look. The wallet
• 31:18
  holds up to twelve cards plus cash and comes in
• 31:21
  over fifty colors in designs including pro and college sports
• 31:24
  teams and whatever you choose. Ridge has a built for
• 31:26
  life warranty, so if your wallet's ever lost or stolen,
• 31:29
  they've got you covered. On top of that, with the
• 31:31
  Ridge Tracker card, you can always know exactly where your
• 31:34
  wallet's at. Which is someone who drove to many stores
• 31:36
  he'd been to that day because he lost his wallet,
• 31:39
  only to find it hidden in a hole in the couch.
• 31:42
  I can tell you that would be nice. And for
• 31:44

  Rich for sponsoring the show. There link will be in
• 32:02
  the description, and we are now back to the episode.
• 32:05
  I want to take a moment to think today's sponsor Tushy.
• 32:07
  Tushy is a product that I can wholeheartedly, not a
• 32:10
  part of the script, say change my life. I always
• 32:13
  thought bidays were done until I tried one and realized
• 32:15
  that my life was literally worse before I got it.
• 32:18
  Imagine if every time you got done eating with your hands,
• 32:21
  you just rubbed it on a dry piece of paper,
• 32:23
  never washing them, and then ask yourself, why do you
• 32:25
  do that when you go to the bathroom. Well, I'm
• 32:28
  here to tell you that Tushy is the luxury biday
• 32:30
  that your bathroom's been missing. I love Tushy because it
• 32:33
  gives me the benefits of reducing irritation, making me more hygienic,
• 32:37
  and I use way less toilet paper because you pretty
• 32:39
  much just use the toilet paper to dry off, and
• 32:42
  less toilet paper means less clog toilets, more saved money.
• 32:46
  Some Tushy models even have a built in dryer, and
• 32:48
  Tushiy bidets are easy to install, either going under your
• 32:51
  toilet seat or becoming your new seat. No power tools
• 32:54
  are needed, and you can go to the bathroom, clean
• 32:56
  yourself off and dry off without ever getting up. Stop
• 32:58
  guessing that you're clean, and start leaving the bathroom with confidence.
• 33:02
  And now is the perfect time to get in on
• 33:04
  Tushy's offer. That's because for a limited time, our listeners
• 33:07
  can get ten percent off your first Bedey when you
• 33:09

• 33:12
  percent off. Just aad to hellotushy dot com and use

  discount code creek Cast to get in on your new

• 33:20
  Their link will be in the description and we are
• 33:22
  now back to the episode. All right, well my video
• 33:26
  doorbell right yep, so our next video next video next
• 33:30
  episode is posted by Lighting Nations. I don't believe we've
• 33:36
  covered before. It looks like they've continued to post on
• 33:40
  like our slash stories and stuff like that. Their last
• 33:43
  No sleep sends to be ten months ago. I think,
• 33:46
  so so still seem to be an active writer. We
• 33:49
  will have their account linked in the description below. But
• 33:53
  this story, again, Harry says, is in line with the
• 33:56
  last one that was gonna catch my video door bell
• 34:00
  Sin's Emotion Detected alert every night. At two fifty three,
• 34:03
  I found a form full of users experiencing the exact
• 34:06
  same issue as something seriously strange is going on. So
• 34:09
  another creepy security camera video? Hunter? Are you ready to
• 34:12
  get into it? Yeah?
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, damn, can't fucking get this sunstrow on there? The fuck?
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: Hold on? Move your thumb from the top. Okay, I
• 34:27
  thought I thought you had it upside down. Okay, I
• 34:30
  we can act like we're eight if you want. I
• 34:33
  don't think we could have started our platforms and you know,
• 34:37
  had this whole audience going in that same timeframe. But
• 34:40
  you know I would have had to have started YouTube
• 34:41
  when I was two, so.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: That'd be good. Combo. You want to make a podcast,
• 34:52
  little boy? Well is yeah? What would you say?
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: I would be like, my mom told me not to
• 34:59
  talk to people like you.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Your mom's dumb.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: I'd say, this is some penny wise energy.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: What are you talking about?
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: That's what we need. We need, like we need a
• 35:10
  child to set right here and be like, that's scary you? Oh?
• 35:13
  Is that freaky? Are you scared?
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: I tell you what I've been Caprisa makes me gassy?
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: How it's liquid.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: I think it's the I think it's whatever the chemicals
• 35:22
  they put in the fruit. They say, well, they say
• 35:25
  it's all natural ingredients, but I can't believe that. Okay,
• 35:28
  you're gonna putting all natural ingredients in this kind of container,
• 35:34
  probably coffee coffee with capriso and probably can't be a
• 35:37
  good combo.
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: You know? That would actually be well, no, I don't.
• 35:39
  I don't want to show her face like online until
• 35:43
  she's old enough, but my kid, but that would be
• 35:46
  excellent if we're still doing the thing in a few years,
• 35:49
  be like, was that scary? Did that freak you out? No?
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, well there's how much longer do you think
• 35:58
  this has the show?
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: How long have we been doing it now? What can
• 36:02
  I don't ask you?
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: We would do it for like how long were we know this?
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: Three years? Years? We're pushing on a million subs. Typically
• 36:08
  the rule of thumb is after five years you're either
• 36:10
  like pack your bags or you're in it for the
• 36:12
  long call. I think at a million subs, which is
• 36:16
  like now away, so like right now, I don't know.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: We're still we're like forty thousand subs away.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: At a million, I think we we fucking right off
• 36:27
  in the sunset. We leave them wanting more to be
• 36:30
  ready for the next story. Let's go to the next story.
• 36:31
  Let's go the next story.
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: The following our post from the roost Video Doorbell help form.
• 36:35
  After my phone started spamming motion Detected alerts, did a
• 36:38
  quick Google search, stumbled across this thread, and created an account.
• 36:42
  In case it isn't obvious, my username is Lighting Nations.
• 36:46
  Dates are in UK format. Motion alert triggered every night
• 36:49
  at two fifty three. Dan King twenty two posted on
• 36:53
  twenty seven two at three oh six, trying this again
• 36:57
  because the admins are a bunch of winy snow flakes
• 37:00
  who cry whenever somebody uses. Okay, so actually you know what,
• 37:04
  immediately I think you should be Dan King after reading
• 37:08
  that percent that's a uke. Well he's British, yes, but
• 37:12
  he's talking about snowflakes, so whatever you think.
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: Join this again because because the admins are a bunch
• 37:18
  of whiny.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Snowflakes w cry whenever somebody uses and not a word.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: There we go. That's all I wanted, was he is
• 37:29
  he British? Yeah?
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: Video doorbell sends motion look to my phone every night
• 37:34
  at two point fifty three. Tech support keeps saying it's
• 37:37
  picking banging gate or squirrel, but that's raddish.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: All the camera says is a patio from furniture.
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: Can all get some assistance please?
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm so glad I did that all right? Reply
• 37:54
  from too Many Tofats. Oh yeah, because it would be
• 37:59
  to I'm like, what's a tow fat? Too many to Fats,
• 38:07
  it's too many top hats. I'm in the exact same
• 38:10
  boat two point fifty three each night like clockwork. There's
• 38:14
  weird pixelation distortion in the footage, but it works like
• 38:16
  a charm the rest of the time. Monitoring this thread
• 38:20
  to tech support not good enough. Reply from Paleo ten
• 38:24
  mine's doing the same thing. Bloody phone goes off every
• 38:27
  night and I get an alert with garbled footage. Support
• 38:30
  lines aren't much help. I've muted notifications for now, but
• 38:34
  it's a bit pointless having the camera if it won't
• 38:37
  warn me and the misses whenever someone's breaking in. A
• 38:40
  solution would be much appreciated. Cheers. Reply from Dan King.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Glad to say it is only me, don't bet on
• 38:48
  the phone to check going for.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: Dice r slash Reply from deleted user. Hi Dan, there
• 38:55
  are instructions for that is how it goes.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: Dan, My dad's been so emotionally calm this whole time.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: Thank you for your patients. There are instructions for fixing
• 39:08
  this exact issue in the user guide, page fifty three.
• 39:12
  I've attached a PDF version here. Author's note, I've not
• 39:15
  included the link. Follow the troubleshooting steps and you'll be
• 39:18
  good as new. Replied Dan King, It's not.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: A guide for a video doorbell.
• 39:23
  Speaker 7: Those are instructions for installing a samsunk smart fridge.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: Did you have an on the wrong foul? How is
• 39:30
  I supposed to help anybody?
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: There's a such a pot forum for roots fion dormouse.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: They are at all caps like that.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: I mean it's like it's like the madest this guy
• 39:46
  has ever been over a doorbell reply Paleo Tin. Dan
• 39:51
  just ignored that poster. He's a troll. I'm pretty sure
• 39:54
  that's his sixth account reply from Dan King.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Doesn't this fucking it not have anything bad? Maybe just
• 40:02
  get a job with rus Jacksonport.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: I mean it can't be that on good news for.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Once technical morage.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: Sitting here replacement. I just had to shout at them
• 40:14
  for three hours.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: Use they so swear.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: I scrolled down. It's another reply from Dan King and
• 40:22
  the entire message is in all caps.
• 40:27
  Speaker 8: The replacement s it's the same a lodgs, no motion
• 40:30
  in the garden, no in turn it dilmos. I've checked
• 40:35
  the video feed and there's nothing. Check the fucking shape.
• 40:39
  I afraid of these idiots. One star on Amazon.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: Replied from Lighting Nations, Hi everyone, Hi everyone, I'm afraid
• 40:54
  I'm in the exact same boat triggering in two fifty three.
• 40:58
  Video feed comes out garbled, but it's fine, works perfectly
• 41:01
  the rest of the day. Tech guy said it might
• 41:03
  be a low tree branch blowing in the wind, but
• 41:06
  I'd expect to be receiving random alerts spaced out across
• 41:08
  several hours, not once per day, at the exact same time.
• 41:12
  I spent a fair chunk of change on this thing,
• 41:14
  and now Roofs won't issue a refund, only replacements. Reply
• 41:18
  from deleted user. Sorry it's my fault, Dan. I was
• 41:21
  in the garden piping your mom down, wearing Camo gear,
• 41:24
  which is why you couldn't see us. No funny, that's
• 41:30
  really funny. After Dan blows up there like as like, sorry, Dan,
• 41:33
  I was doing your mom?
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: What was dick?
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: I was?
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: I was deep dicking your mom with me Willie.
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: He got the accounts deleted because Dan just killed him.
• 41:47
  Reply from Paleo ten. Okay, so I'm not so sure
• 41:50
  the doorbell's actually the problem. I got held up at
• 41:53
  work last night choice of working in it, and was
• 41:55
  heating dinner at two fifty three when the microwave fritzed.
• 41:59
  The digital blinked on and off for a full minute. Meanwhile,
• 42:02
  my echo device stopped mid song and I got another
• 42:05
  motion alert one minute later everything went back to normal. Well,
• 42:08
  maybe get an electrician round to have a look. Also,
• 42:12
  the footage distortion keeps getting worse now in the alerts.
• 42:16
  It kind of looks like there's static, except it's warping
• 42:19
  around the garden. Really gave my wife a heart attack.
• 42:22
  Apply from Lighting Nations. It's interesting about the electrics. Keep
• 42:25
  us posting Apply too many top hats A TV fridge
• 42:29
  just now, same problem as Palio ten blinked on an
• 42:32
  offer a full minute right as the motion alert came through.
• 42:35
  Do you think maybe these things are draining power when
• 42:39
  they do overnight software updates or something. I'm not very technical,
• 42:43
  might not make sense, just a thought. I'm just gonna
• 42:46
  check for grid faults with the council, such as life
• 42:49
  in the South of England, empty office blocks, righting hunger
• 42:52
  and now potential rolling blackouts, lovely reply lighting nations. Tell
• 42:56
  me about it. I'm in blank. Stories you hear are
• 43:00
  breaking reply Palio ten. Seriously, this is spooky. I'm in
• 43:04
  blank as well. I'm tempted to say there's a faulty
• 43:07
  batch of door bell sitting in an Amazon wirehouse somewhere
• 43:09
  that are going to start blowing fuses replacements on the
• 43:12
  way out to me. By the way, arranging before noticing
• 43:15
  the problems with the microwave, had the electrician round and
• 43:18
  he saw no problems. That'd have smashed this thing already.
• 43:21
  But the misses saw how much I spin on it,
• 43:23
  so apply too many top hats. Holy shit, this is
• 43:26
  too many top hats reporting to you. Live from blank
• 43:30
  and the twelve points from England go to not but seriously,
• 43:34
  rust ships internationally weird. We're all in the same city.
• 43:39
  Councils say everything's fine, by the way. Apply from new
• 43:42
  user Pixie Chick oh one Hi experiencing same issue. I
• 43:47
  feel like actually, you know what, you should also be
• 43:49
  pixie Chick. Just given the screen name.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: I feel hi experiencing the same issue.
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: Also in reply too many top Hats quick update, the
• 43:59
  guy who lives doors down for me also has a
• 44:01
  roost door bell, different model, and he has the exact
• 44:04
  same problem. Motion alerts and muddled footage at two fifty
• 44:08
  three works like a charm at all other times. Also,
• 44:11
  we're both now getting garbled audio like feedback wine from
• 44:14
  an amplifier in the recordings. The fun never ends, replied
• 44:18
  Dan King. I been sick of this rubbish.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Can't say what I really think cause the stupid admit
• 44:25
  in its now getting somebody outside of it.
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: They sent me a third device, now it's start.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: If one goes off again tonight, I'm gonna go outside
• 44:34
  and ribbon out of the door frame and send them
• 44:37
  repair bill.
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: I'm sick of this.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: Just so much energy. Once. Have you ever got really
• 44:45
  mad with the customer service person.
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: All the time? Okay, they're not human. I don't talk
• 44:50
  to them as if they are human. Like how proud
• 44:52
  I was?
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you kind of like readjusted. You're like, yeah, I'm
• 44:55
  better than them. Wait and then another replied from Dan King.
• 45:00
  Speaker 7: Actually the device is working now, is attended? Go out
• 45:02
  saw it two fifty three?
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: Check the camera.
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: Alright, So Dan either is like super okay or he's.
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: Dan's fucking dead.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a skin walker, like a British skin walker.
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: It's working.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: Go outside, you call it British skin walker.
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: A skin chap wow skin, chapskin, chapskin, chepskin, old chap
• 45:28
  skin coming down the block on the top.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: Of Dan King's durned himself and do a chap skin.
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, see it works, Yeah, chap skin. I mean skin
• 45:39
  walker is kind of a slur in itself, right, seem
• 45:42
  like this ancient monster that like steals the faces of
• 45:46
  what it kills, and it's like, oh what we got here?
• 45:50
  Skin walker? I think you can walk around in people's skin.
• 45:53
  Huh Australia what oh No, I mean, I mean skin
• 46:02
  walker's a native legends, so British or Australia would not
• 46:04
  interact with one.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: I like chaps I like chapskin. Yeah, oh my god,
• 46:10
  it's a thing of mystery. It's a chap skin over there.
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's like, yeah, that makes sense. Chapskin.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: You filthy chap skin.
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, when you had filthy when you head filthy to
• 46:25
  it really changes the tonation.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: Hey, get on the Hey, Hey driving them on a
• 46:32
  chap skin.
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: Those blokes can't drive it.
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: This used to be a nice neighborhood to the reply
• 46:46
  Paleo Tin, I've got my replacement installed in this one
• 46:49
  bugs out worse than before. Now the bell rings for
• 46:52
  one minute NonStop, and I get constant there's somebody at
• 46:55
  the door alerts hearing the stupid jingle in my dreams.
• 46:59
  Now I won't even show the wife the footage because
• 47:01
  it's like a figure made of pixels keeps ringing the bell,
• 47:05
  also hearing the high pitched screech when I play back footage.
• 47:08
  I'm seriously about to go all office space on this thing.
• 47:11
  Apply too many top hats? Yeah, I'm confused, Dan, Could
• 47:15
  you elaborate, preferably with less capital letters and more punctuation
• 47:19
  than usual. Apply Paleo ten, Dan was right, go outside
• 47:23
  of two fifty three? Check the camera lighting nations. Reply
• 47:27
  what do you mean? Check the camera? Check what specifically?
• 47:30
  Too many top hats? Yeah, uh plus one. Please elaborate.
• 47:34
  I've got the same problem as Paleo. Now lightning full
• 47:38
  minute of somebody at the door alerts and constant ding
• 47:41
  dong ding dong with multiple distortions about the garden. When
• 47:44
  I play back the recording audio from outside, it's all screechy. Also,
• 47:48
  the app is useless. Tried disabling alerts on the phone,
• 47:52
  but they still came through. Already it couldn't sleep because
• 47:55
  the wind keeps banging the gate. This is the last
• 47:58
  thing I need to be honest, I'll be hearing that
• 48:01
  stupid two note chime in hell the way things are going.
• 48:05
  One more night of this and I'm grabbing the sledgehammer.
• 48:07
  Let's see if it detects that motion reply too many
• 48:10
  top hats. The others were right, go outside of two
• 48:14
  fifty three check the camera reply, Lighting Nations. What it's
• 48:18
  freezing this time of year. I'm not getting out of
• 48:21
  bed in the middle of the night to check the camera.
• 48:23
  I've decided to get a ring device instead and cut
• 48:25
  my losses. It's already been ordered. Cheers. So then that's
• 48:29
  the end of the forum post and now it's back
• 48:30
  to Lighting Nations account. Later that night, my phone buzz
• 48:34
  on the bedside table, like always, Motion detected alerts started
• 48:37
  coming through. A two fifty three pulled up the grainy
• 48:40
  feed from outside and in it. There were vague suggestions
• 48:43
  of figures scattered about the garden by the fence post,
• 48:47
  under the tree, peeking through downstairs windows. Meanwhile, the soft
• 48:52
  two note chime rang out, ding Dong ding Dong. It
• 48:58
  happened again and again, gathering speed, morphing into a hysterical scream,
• 49:03
  ding dong ding dong, ding dong ding dong. I got
• 49:06
  up and peeled back the curtain just a few inches.
• 49:09
  All of a sudden, there came a pounding from downstairs,
• 49:12
  a furious thumb thumb, dumb, so powerful the windows and
• 49:16
  doors almost burst from their housings. What are you smiling about?
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: I'm Mary Dresden. This is my neighborhood. Motherfucker.
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: It's him.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: I was, I was, I was thinking about that like
• 49:34
  halfway through him, like it's.
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: Just that guy.
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: Let me worrish I who's Harry dressed in the guy
• 49:40
  that went like you know the guy the viral ring
• 49:43
  all that video.
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: That's right, that's Mary Dresden.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: Which also that's like a video game character's neighbors that
• 49:48
  opened the fucking door.
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: Now I'm just picturing that guy out there with that door,
• 49:54
  with the bellies like a.
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: Whipping ugh ding Dong, ding Dong, ding Dong, ding Dong.
• 50:06
  The house became alive with movement. It felt like being
• 50:08
  trapped inside a tornado. Everything around me rattling and quivering,
• 50:12
  storm shutters, scratching against walls, the letterbox wrapping away. Ding Dong,
• 50:16
  ding Dong, ding Dong. I sprinted into the bathroom and
• 50:19
  barricaded myself inside and called the police, phone buzzing with
• 50:22
  the course of NonStop alerts. There's someone at the door,
• 50:25
  there's someone at the door, there's someone And then out
• 50:28
  of nowhere, the house lowered its voice and went back
• 50:31
  to sleep. Checked my phone two fifty four, now trembling,
• 50:37
  I brought up the feed from outside. There was nothing
• 50:40
  except a peaceful garden and the quiet section of street
• 50:43
  that lay beyond it. Two officers turned up, checked the footage,
• 50:47
  dismiss the encounter is a mixture of a technical glitch
• 50:50
  and overactive imagination and some nasty weather. But when I
• 50:53
  next clicked onto the forum, there were four new posts.
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: It's two fifty three. Time to come outside, replied ten.
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: It's two fifty three time to come outside, Reply Pixie
• 51:04
  chickoh one.
• 51:05
  Speaker 7: It's two fifty three time to come outside.
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: Reply, too many top hats. It's two fifty three. Time
• 51:10
  to come outside. That's pretty fun. That's a fun little
• 51:15
  story of like this uh entity that's like at this
• 51:18
  one minute for whatever reason in this area, it's going
• 51:20
  door to door trying to convince people that they need
• 51:23
  to come outside, and seemingly they join it or it
• 51:26
  consumes them then pretends to be them or something like that.
• 51:28
  But it's a fun thing told through like a help
• 51:30
  for them for a doorbell thing.
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's a die coke.
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay. Sorry. You
• 51:41
  don't have to apologize. I understand what happened.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: Man, Time's creepy.
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: Huh what like time time itself concept?
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: All right? So that was Lighting Nations. You can check
• 51:54
  them out. I'll be linked in the scripture below. Hunter.
• 51:56
  We have one more story today, all right. That story
• 51:58
  is I was an air traffic controller at Atlantic Municipal Airport,
• 52:02
  Iowa for twenty seven years. First year at the job,
• 52:05
  I willingly went from a firm atheist to a believer.
• 52:08
  And the story is posted by I nace The name
• 52:11
  is I n Aaacee. The profile picture is terrifying.
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: Their profile picture is sertifying. Yes, uh yeah, that is
• 52:21
  kind of fucked up. So Michael Jackson needed a potato.
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: I don't think that's Michael Jackson, that is it. I
• 52:27
  don't think. So. They posted a lot in our slash
• 52:30
  golf and golf and stuff like that. About four years
• 52:32
  ago they started talking about how they have cancer and
• 52:36
  how that's making more making it more and more difficult
• 52:38
  to play. And then they post a lo on ar
• 52:40
  slash cancer about their condition and stuff like that, and
• 52:43
  then they haven't posted in three years.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: It's pretty rough, mane. This is the second person we've
• 52:50
  come across it. We're just like people have recommended the
• 52:52
  story and then you find out the person who's passed.
• 52:53
  It's such a weird part of this podcast. And even
• 52:57
  just being like an Internet user stumbling across people's just
• 53:02
  completely live interactions.
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: Like you look at these comments, you're just like, oh,
• 53:04
  these are people that are just he liked five. But
• 53:07
  now there's so much.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: Documentation out there now that it's just like, uh, you're
• 53:11
  gonna you're gonna keep seeing this, Like people years from now,
• 53:13
  we're gonna see stuff, or like whenever we're gone to
• 53:15
  they're gonna see that stuff and be like that's insane,
• 53:17
  you know, like it's just it's odd.
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean it's it's kind of like you know,
• 53:22
  people always say if it's on the Internet, it's there forever,
• 53:24
  which is normally meant as a negative thing, but in
• 53:27
  other ways, you know, you have something like this where
• 53:30
  eleven years ago, this guy wrote a story that he
• 53:34
  thought was cool enough to post online, and other people,
• 53:36
  even after he passes, still recommend it, still think it's
• 53:40
  a cool story, still pass it around. I remember there
• 53:43
  was there's this YouTube video by guy named Jacob Geller.
• 53:47
  He makes like these really cool video essays, but he
• 53:49
  was talking about this video game where the plot of
• 53:52
  it was like it's these eternal beings that are trying
• 53:54
  to figure out how to make stories basically, and the
• 53:57
  resolution that come to at the end is they can't
• 53:59
  understand storytelling because they're not human. They're not temporary creatures
• 54:03
  who know loss and life and stuff like that. And
• 54:07
  Jacob Geller said something at the end of the video
• 54:09
  I think about all the time. He said, stories are
• 54:11
  our immortality. They're a kinder collective immortality. I've always thought
• 54:16
  that's such a cool way to look at it. It's
• 54:18
  like all of us contribute to this one thing that
• 54:20
  a piece of us lives on forever. Sure it's not
• 54:22
  all about us, but in that way, we never die.
• 54:25
  I think that's a really cool idea. And this is
• 54:27
  an example of that where he's gone. We didn't even
• 54:29
  know he was gone because the only thing that we
• 54:30
  were introduced to was that it's a cool story some
• 54:33
  of that stage. So that's pretty cool. So I nace.
• 54:37
  We'll have their account linked in description if you want
• 54:39
  to scroll through see what else sayve written and stuff
• 54:41
  like that. But in honor of them, hunter, are you
• 54:44
  ready to get into it?
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: Let's get into it.
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: My uncle and aunt came to visit me here in Atlanta.
• 54:49
  We got to talking about all sorts of general things,
• 54:52
  you know how family is, but we somehow ended up
• 54:55
  on the topic of strange and supernatural. This is when
• 54:58
  my uncle started telling me is story that he says
• 55:01
  will haunt him all the way to his grave. I
• 55:04
  stopped him two minutes into it, got to my laptop
• 55:07
  because I wanted to write it down for no sleep.
• 55:10
  These are his memories, almost word for word. Forgive the
• 55:13
  non traditional writing. Are you typing? You are okay? Okay,
• 55:18
  and your friends on the internet will read this all right,
• 55:22
  but warn them that these are just old man's memories. Okay,
• 55:26
  So back to the beginning. So I graduated from Fordham
• 55:29
  in nineteen seventy four and still had no idea what
• 55:32
  to do. Times were different then. We were able to
• 55:35
  find jobs easily. God I remember companies practically begging us
• 55:39
  to work for him. But I didn't want to do
• 55:41
  some shitty dash job for the rest of my life,
• 55:44
  so I waited. Then one day, while flying to visit
• 55:47
  your inn on Thanksgiving, I caught myself being fascinated with
• 55:50
  the complexity of air traffic systems. It's all it took.
• 55:55
  I decided to become an air traffic controller. By the
• 55:57
  time I turned twenty seven, I had passed all have
• 56:00
  the necessary test, and have accumulated enough experience to be
• 56:03
  hired and work without a supervision. Thing with air traffic
• 56:06
  controllers is that you don't really get to choose where
• 56:09
  you're going to work. In the beginning. Sure, we all
• 56:12
  wanted to work at JFK or Hartsfield Jackson, but those
• 56:16
  jobs just weren't available to us rookies. So I had
• 56:19
  to take a job in a bum little town in
• 56:21
  Iowa called Atlantic. It was literally a single landing strip
• 56:24
  and a damn cornfield. I had to pay my dues
• 56:27
  and the money was all right. Now, small airports like
• 56:30
  these usually only work eight to five, but this particular
• 56:34
  strip was in such a geographical location that there were
• 56:37
  a lot of flights going above us at any time,
• 56:40
  so we needed to stay open until four am in
• 56:43
  case of emergency landing. By staying open, I mean I
• 56:46
  had to sit in the control tower and there was
• 56:49
  one security guy sleeping in the airport's only terminal. It
• 56:52
  wasn't that bad, really. I'd bring my books and crossword puzzles,
• 56:56
  and I'd spend hours on the phone with your aunt. You. Now,
• 56:59
  they say that the air traffic controllers the most stressful
• 57:01
  job in the world. Well, I was bored ninety nine
• 57:04
  percent of the time, and that one percent was guiding
• 57:07
  small cessnas into my cornfield airport. So why am I
• 57:10
  telling you all this? Well, about three months into my job,
• 57:14
  something started happening, something that even today I can't really
• 57:19
  I'll save you the talk about the supernatural, but what
• 57:21
  happened at that airport just st ain't right. February twentieth
• 57:24
  nineteen seventy nine. I remember it like it was yesterday.
• 57:29
  It was a regular winter night in Iowa, winds and
• 57:32
  freezing cold, but no snow. I was supposed to work
• 57:36
  until close, although we didn't have any flight scheduled. Around
• 57:40
  one am, I received radio message from a small Cessna
• 57:43
  about thirty miles from the airport. They were having really
• 57:46
  bad snowstorm up in Omaha and he had to land
• 57:48
  here in Atlantic. I guess being open late was justified.
• 57:51
  After all, got my binoculars out, verified the visibility, and
• 57:56
  started gotting the aircraft, though it was really windy out there.
• 58:00
  The man shoed touch down. I looked through the binoculars
• 58:04
  to verify the landing went okay, and that's when I
• 58:07
  saw her for the first time, just walking down the
• 58:10
  runway as if it were a normal street. Was this woman?
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: Shit?
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Now. There were about one hundred things
• 58:18
  wrong with this situation. First, the woman was wearing some
• 58:21
  sort of short summer dress or a nightgown. She was barefoot,
• 58:26
  believe it or not, normal person would be cold dressed
• 58:30
  like that during the summer, let alone our winter. And
• 58:33
  then you had to wonder what in the world was
• 58:36
  this person doing walking down the active runway and how
• 58:39
  the hell did she get there?
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: To begin with flighty four. This is Alex from air
• 58:43
  Traffic Control. Do you happen to see a woman walking
• 58:45
  down the runway towards you?
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: I asked the pilot who just landed, let me chat.
• 58:50
  Still watching through binoculars, I saw him open the door
• 58:53
  of the plane to get out started walking towards the woman.
• 58:57
  Not gonna lie at that point, I was a lot
• 59:00
  of fun. Not much happened in Atlantic, Iowa, and this
• 59:03
  certainly wasn't entertaining. I couldn't wait to hear her story.
• 59:07
  My bet was that she got in a car accident
• 59:09
  near the airport. Well. Pilot walked up to her, and
• 59:12
  I could make it that he was saying something. I
• 59:15
  saw still through the binoculars her leaned to his ear
• 59:18
  and almost whispered something to him. He just stood there
• 59:23
  for a good ten seconds, with neither of them moving.
• 59:27
  She was still leaning close to his ear, and then
• 59:29
  he snapped out of it. I guess turned around and
• 59:33
  literally sprinted to the plane. When I saw the propellers
• 59:36
  starting to rotate, I jumped on my radio Flight eighty four,
• 59:39
  what are you doing? No?
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: Answer Flight eighty four, I repeat, what is happening?
• 59:44
  Speaker 4: Nothing? Then the plane started moving, speeding up.
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: Flight eighty four. You did not have permission to take off?
• 59:50
  I repeat, you are not cleared for takeoff.
• 59:52
  Speaker 4: There was no answer that damn Cessna kept speeding up,
• 59:55
  then took off. Now that I could do really besides
• 59:58
  making sure that no other planes we're above us at
• 1:00:00
  the time, I tried one more time.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: Flight eighty four, this is air traffic control. What the
• 1:00:05
  hell is happening?
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: Then my radio started making white noise. It was all
• 1:00:12
  I could hear coming from the radio.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: Fight eighty four. Please repeat, you're breaking up?
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: What a night?
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: I thought?
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 4: Radio started transmitting again. Run Run, Run flighty four.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: Did you see the run? Please repeat yourself.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 4: Nothing else came from that was the damn radio. The
• 1:00:30
  plane was long gone. Dude. If I was in air
• 1:00:33
  traffic and I wentnes se and then the guys like run, run, run,
• 1:00:37
  I'd be like, well, all right, got it, traffic control?
• 1:00:40
  Yeah no, fuck yeah, you're alone in the whole airport.
• 1:00:43
  It's just I'm good, Yeah, okay, all right. I mean
• 1:00:49
  I'm either running immediately or I'm never leaving that room
• 1:00:51
  again forever until sunlight, and I'm like, someone's gonna have
• 1:00:54
  to pull me out of here. I sat in my
• 1:00:57
  chair trying to decipher what just happened. Run from what
• 1:01:02
  what the helen? Then it dawned on me the woman
• 1:01:06
  grab the binoculars. She was looking straight at me. Yeah, no, no, no,
• 1:01:13
  absolutely not a good two hundred yards away at night.
• 1:01:18
  She was somehow looking straight at me, eyes open so wide.
• 1:01:22
  It's hard to explain what she looked like. I guess
• 1:01:26
  you know how when someone's super surprised. I don't like it.
• 1:01:32
  It's like the yeah, like the impossibly wide eyes.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: Almost like she has no eye.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 4: It kind of reminds me of the image of the
• 1:01:41
  woman in my head's the image of that girl from
• 1:01:43
  the beginning of the first VHS. Oh sure, I want you,
• 1:01:48
  I want you? Yeah that one, Yeah yeah, that's what
• 1:01:50
  he says. I like you, yeah yeah. Like when you
• 1:01:52
  startle someone in their eyes just get so wide, some
• 1:01:55
  sort of fence mechanism. I suppose that's how she was
• 1:01:58
  looking at me in the world at that moment.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: She started running towards me, some fucking barefoot, demonic bitch
• 1:02:12
  running towards me, you kidd me?
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: Fuck that?
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: No, I I'd have I'd have my parachute backpack and
• 1:02:18
  I'd be gliding out of that Oh.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 4: Bro, oh my gosh. That always freaks me out in
• 1:02:30
  stories or like movies and stuff where someone you can
• 1:02:32
  have a dead friend running really fast but it's far
• 1:02:35
  enough away.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: Like the binoculars kind of things.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you look up. She started running towards my tower,
• 1:02:40
  like not jogging, but really running, still looking straight at me.
• 1:02:45
  I swear to you, goosebumps ran all over me, like
• 1:02:47
  ten thousand cold ants. What do you mean by that?
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 5: Uncle?
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 4: You know, well, we've all had ten thousand warmans.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: I thought that was kind of fun.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 4: Imagine all jas were cold. You know, I'm not one
• 1:02:59
  to get scared. Shit, I spent six years in Vietnam.
• 1:03:03
  Something about this situation so something that I don't know.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: There's something.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: This girl and you off here, something about the situation,
• 1:03:18
  something about that pilot telling me to run and this
• 1:03:21
  woman running towards me. Something seems so wrong.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: Joe, are you there?
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: Joe blurted into the radio. Joe's our not security guard.
• 1:03:30
  He didn't answer. Ship. I looked through the window just
• 1:03:33
  in time to see the woman run into my tail.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, dude, brot the I got the one pilot,
• 1:03:41
  Like the one pilot desported back to his plane and
• 1:03:43
  he just had a plane and just it's actually such
• 1:03:48
  a fun visual, now.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 4: Okay, run and the like. He doesn't say anything to
• 1:03:53
  the guy except running and run. What a loser to
• 1:03:59
  not give anything to not be like taking a tower?
• 1:04:04
  Run run, this guy helped you land your plane. Look
• 1:04:11
  through the window just in time to see the woman
• 1:04:12
  run into my tower. I heard the door downstairs slam open.
• 1:04:16
  I honestly didn't know what to do. This wasn't a
• 1:04:19
  rational situation. You know, if it were some sort of
• 1:04:22
  terrorist or whatever, I know what needs to be done.
• 1:04:24
  But this was this situation malicious. It was certainly strange.
• 1:04:29
  And that exact weirdness that not knowing what is happening
• 1:04:33
  is what made me run into the bathroom and lock
• 1:04:35
  the doors. So I turned the lock. I heard the
• 1:04:38
  control room doors open. You know, in your Generations movies,
• 1:04:43
  you just your quiet footsteps of some invaders slowly looking
• 1:04:46
  for you, and then the shadow show up under the door. Well,
• 1:04:51
  this was the opposite. As soon as those doors opened,
• 1:04:55
  chaos began. I tried peeking through the keyhole but all
• 1:05:00
  I was able to see is fast shadow running across
• 1:05:03
  the room, accompanied by tremendous noise. I swear I was
• 1:05:07
  so shocked that at one point I nearly opened the
• 1:05:10
  door just to see what was causing all this. Then
• 1:05:12
  a hard slam into the bathroom door had me nearly
• 1:05:15
  fall on the floor, and then nothing silence. I could
• 1:05:19
  line pretend I was brave enough to get out of
• 1:05:21
  that bathroom soon after, but I wasn't. I'll admit it.
• 1:05:24
  I stayed in there the whole night. Waent for the
• 1:05:26
  morning shift. Around seven fifty four am, I heard a
• 1:05:29
  familiar voice say, what the fuck? It was Clark, the
• 1:05:33
  morning shift controller. I opened the door to see a
• 1:05:35
  scene so twisted that even to this day, I remember
• 1:05:38
  every detail. Control room was nearly totaled. Radios ripped out,
• 1:05:43
  papers and manuscripts everywhere, Radar screens smashed to pieces. When
• 1:05:47
  the police came, I gave the full report. Took eleven
• 1:05:50
  days to repair all the equipment and get the room
• 1:05:52
  fully functional. Security guard on duty that night was fired.
• 1:05:57
  They even started considering installing security cameras. I know today
• 1:06:00
  that seems like a normal thing to you, but it
• 1:06:02
  wasn't back in the day. Police had no idea what
• 1:06:05
  to make of it. It just urged us to report
• 1:06:07
  anything suspicious. I used the eleven day break to sort
• 1:06:10
  myself out, and by the end of that force vacation,
• 1:06:13
  I was convinced that all of this was caused by
• 1:06:15
  some deranged woman, possibly a mental patient. Whenever made me
• 1:06:19
  sleep at night right. Came back to work on March fourth.
• 1:06:23
  I was a bit worried about working nights again, but
• 1:06:25
  I was convinced that whoever did this was far gone
• 1:06:29
  by now. The next month or so was very uneventful.
• 1:06:32
  That's how I liked it. Iowa was scheduled to get
• 1:06:35
  hit with the big snowstorm that day. Most of the
• 1:06:38
  flights were grounded, but some were still in the air
• 1:06:40
  and I had to work. I hated it because if
• 1:06:43
  we did get hit with heavy snow, I'd probably end
• 1:06:45
  up being stranded. I wish that was the worst thing
• 1:06:48
  that happened. Around eleven PM that night, when it was
• 1:06:51
  already snowing big time, I received radio message from a
• 1:06:54
  small private jet that was some fifty miles away. They
• 1:06:57
  were getting caught in heavy winds in the pilots wanted
• 1:06:59
  to in our airport immediately. Now, jets like that would
• 1:07:03
  traditionally be too big to land at our strip, but
• 1:07:05
  the emergency like this called for overriding of guidelines.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: Flight six seven six, you were a clue to land.
• 1:07:12
  We have to remain in contact at all times. The
• 1:07:14
  strip's pretty short, do you acknowledge shut thing?
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 5: Let's just get this fucking down, shall we?
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 4: Snowing heavily by that point. Thankfully, we had a clean
• 1:07:21
  up crew d ice and clean the runway before they
• 1:07:23
  headed home, so it was still in decent condition. Again,
• 1:07:26
  back then, we were way more relaxed about the rules.
• 1:07:29
  I took a look at the strip to make sure
• 1:07:31
  it was clear out of nowhere. Just when I forgot
• 1:07:34
  about her, she appeared. She was just slowly strolling down
• 1:07:38
  the strip, about one hundred yards away from the tower,
• 1:07:42
  her bare feet slowly moving across the freezing asphalt. The
• 1:07:45
  worst part about it, she was looking straight at me
• 1:07:48
  again again, those crazy eyes. This is when I realized
• 1:07:53
  what the most disturbing thing about her was. She wasn't blinking.
• 1:07:56
  I was looking at her for a good two minutes,
• 1:07:58
  winds and snow lasting in her face, and she wasn't blinking.
• 1:08:02
  It was almost as if she didn't want to lose
• 1:08:04
  a millisecond of looking straight at me.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: Oh God, flight to seven six. Maintain, I repeat, maintain
• 1:08:10
  the altitude until further communication traffic.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 5: Control, this is six seven six.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 3: That's a negative. We cannot maintain with head winds like this.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 5: We have to land.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 4: Are we clear?
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: We're six minutes away.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 4: I couldn't risk the lives of people up in that plane.
• 1:08:25
  I had to land them despite this, whatever this was.
• 1:08:29
  Walking down the runway.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: Cleared the land six seven to six.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 4: I put down the radio and look through the window.
• 1:08:34
  She was now some ten yards away, coming closer to
• 1:08:37
  the tower. Though I shouldn't, under any circumstances leave the
• 1:08:42
  control room. I ran down to the first floor and
• 1:08:44
  locked the outside door. I knew she was close, and
• 1:08:47
  I knew she was coming. I got back to the room,
• 1:08:50
  I heard the radio control tr.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: We're approaching the runway, Please advise rotate three degrees right.
• 1:08:55
  Acknowledge copy that we see the lights down. See you soon.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 4: Looked up through the window and could see the plane
• 1:09:02
  in the distance. There was no trace of the woman
• 1:09:05
  on the runway. Beside a breath of relief, I was
• 1:09:08
  gonna deal with this issue after the jet had safely landed.
• 1:09:11
  At that moment, a loud noise broke through the tower.
• 1:09:16
  I didn't want to believe it, but I was afraid
• 1:09:18
  that the first floor door had slammed open. How the
• 1:09:22
  hell I locked it? I know I did. I think
• 1:09:25
  goosebumps overcame me again, almost as if my body could
• 1:09:28
  feel something that I couldn't. My first instinct was to
• 1:09:32
  lock myself in the bathroom again, but I couldn't. I
• 1:09:35
  couldn't leave the radio. Footsteps on the metal stairs were
• 1:09:38
  getting louder. She I assumed it was her wasn't running
• 1:09:42
  at the least, but the violent sound of footsteps made
• 1:09:45
  me think she was what, slamming her feet into the
• 1:09:48
  ground with every step she made. Six seven six. This
• 1:09:51
  is traffic control. I have visual confirmation clear to land.
• 1:09:55
  I heard the control room doors open. This is when
• 1:09:57
  I realized just how afraid I was. You know, I'm
• 1:10:01
  almost seventy now, and I'm not embarrassed to admit how
• 1:10:04
  scared I was at that moment. Matter of fact, I
• 1:10:08
  was so scared that I couldn't even turn around. If
• 1:10:10
  you can believe that, I just couldn't face what was
• 1:10:13
  behind me. This was very unusual because I was always
• 1:10:16
  composed and rational, always, whether it was being stuck in
• 1:10:21
  a ditch and Vietnamese jungle or being nearly hit by
• 1:10:24
  an eighteen wheeler on the highway, always calm. And there
• 1:10:27
  I was staring straight at my radio, unable to turn
• 1:10:31
  my head and face it. I'm sure your friends on
• 1:10:35
  the internet will laugh I reacted, but I guarantee most
• 1:10:38
  of you would have been the same, And I guarantee
• 1:10:41
  most of you would behave the same. Your body just
• 1:10:44
  doesn't behave normally when you're terrified traffic control. Thirty seconds out.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 4: I slowly press the talk button on the radio, my
• 1:10:53
  teeth literally chattering.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: All clear.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 4: Then I felt a cold breath on my neck. She
• 1:10:59
  was behind me, breathing slowly into my neck. I could
• 1:11:04
  feel the lips move up to my ear. You know
• 1:11:08
  how when you're a kid and someone was messing behind
• 1:11:11
  your back, making faces or bunny ears, and you could
• 1:11:13
  somehow feel it. I could feel the mouth an inch
• 1:11:17
  from my ear, though I couldn't even see her with
• 1:11:21
  the corner of my eye. I was still nearly paralyzed.
• 1:11:24
  I admit I used to be ashamed of my inability
• 1:11:26
  to act in this surreal situation. But now when I
• 1:11:29
  look at it, no one can tell me they'd react
• 1:11:32
  any differently. It just wasn't in an earthly situation, you know, come.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: Down to feel it. Come down.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 4: Whisper crawled into my ear. You normally think that ear
• 1:11:44
  in a voice would somehow diffuse the situation, or at
• 1:11:47
  least brush away any thoughts of supernatural. But that voice
• 1:11:51
  was so different than anything I've ever heard. I'm not
• 1:11:55
  a writer. I can't explain it. It was cold, human even,
• 1:12:00
  But what scared me the most was the anger I
• 1:12:03
  felt in it. Though she whispered, I could feel the rage,
• 1:12:08
  and I don't even know to put it into words.
• 1:12:10
  Her voice lacked something that every other voice had. I
• 1:12:13
  don't know.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 3: Touchdown, traffic control six seven six on the ground.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 5: Ipe, you have some hot choking the ready.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 4: The woman behind me snapped back, and I heard what
• 1:12:21
  I assumed was running. I forced myself to turn around
• 1:12:24
  just in time to her running out barefoot six seven six. Welcome,
• 1:12:30
  I made myself say into the radio, though my legs
• 1:12:33
  were still foreign to the rest of my body. I
• 1:12:35
  propped myself up and looked through the window I was
• 1:12:38
  expecting to see the woman running out, but she was
• 1:12:40
  nowhere to be seen. I thought that she was still
• 1:12:44
  in the building. This time, I managed to get the
• 1:12:46
  security on the radio and he showed up a few
• 1:12:48
  minutes later, did a full walk through the tower, no
• 1:12:51
  trace of the woman. I started feeling relieved only when
• 1:12:54
  the police showed I started feeling relieved only when the
• 1:12:57
  police showed up. They thoroughly so the building with no success.
• 1:13:02
  They did notice the trace of footsteps coming from the
• 1:13:04
  neighboring cornfield to the tower, but there were no prints
• 1:13:07
  going back. Imagine my situation at the time. Just take
• 1:13:10
  a second to think about it. You're the only one
• 1:13:13
  to ever see this woman. I'll call her a woman.
• 1:13:16
  I wouldn't be surprised if the police started thinking that
• 1:13:19
  I was hitting the bottle during work. I decided to
• 1:13:22
  keep it to myself until I could prove there was
• 1:13:24
  this person's disrupting or haunting the airport. I couldn't really quit,
• 1:13:30
  and honestly, would you probably not. I mean, yes, these
• 1:13:35
  were two absolutely surreal experiences, and I did feel some
• 1:13:38
  sort of intangible hazard, but I didn't think my life
• 1:13:41
  was ever in danger. I decided to stick with it.
• 1:13:44
  Winner was almost over. Anyways, Spring brought more horror than
• 1:13:47
  Winner ever could in de part one. I gotta say
• 1:13:50
  this is pretty good. I'm vibing with this. I'm vibing
• 1:13:54
  with this tone pretty much. I like the like, for one,
• 1:13:59
  what did to have that thing behind you and not
• 1:14:02
  abandon your post for the plane coming in? You could
• 1:14:09
  have done that on You could have done that on
• 1:14:12
  the show. That would have been funny. I see, I
• 1:14:14
  got you. Yeah, he was like air traffic control, gotta
• 1:14:16
  go to I think that this is a fun setup
• 1:14:23
  with the creepy woman and it's like, you don't know
• 1:14:26
  what she wants, but it's clearly hostile the way she runs,
• 1:14:28
  and now she wants them to come out to the
• 1:14:30
  cornfield and it only shows up when there's emergency landing.
• 1:14:32
  So I think it's pretty cool. It's a cool concept.
• 1:14:34
  I think that the uncle's a g for surviving through
• 1:14:37
  this and like not abandoning his post when most people would.
• 1:14:42
  This is a really cool story so far. I'm excited
• 1:14:44
  for part two. Are you ready?
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 3: I am ready Part two?
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 4: Part two. This won't make much sense to you if
• 1:14:51
  you haven't read my first right up from a few
• 1:14:52
  months back. Again, this was a conversation with my uncle,
• 1:14:55
  who was an air traffic controller in Atlantic Musical Airport
• 1:14:57
  in Iowa during the seventies. This is his account, word
• 1:15:00
  for word. I'm just kind it up. The city council
• 1:15:03
  finally listened to me and decided to install a security camera.
• 1:15:06
  Due to municipal bureaucracy and limited funds, or so they say,
• 1:15:10
  they only mounted one camera that could stream video to
• 1:15:13
  the control room stream, not record. Let that sink in.
• 1:15:17
  Who installs cameras that only stream? Town of Atlantic does,
• 1:15:20
  That's who. Anyways, I had to pick my battles, so
• 1:15:24
  I had them install a camera in front of the
• 1:15:25
  tower door. That way I could always see who's outside.
• 1:15:29
  A good month has passed since the last encounter, and
• 1:15:31
  to be honest, the horror started it all away. It
• 1:15:34
  was still fresh in my mind, yes, but the lack
• 1:15:36
  of new developments had me thinking it all ended as
• 1:15:39
  quickly as it started. My mind. She was probably some
• 1:15:42
  lunatic who decided to move on. Then, on May third,
• 1:15:46
  I received a memo letting me know I needed to
• 1:15:48
  stay late that day since some local politicians plane was
• 1:15:52
  due to land around ten pm. Naturally, I guess my
• 1:15:56
  mind went straight to thinking about the crazy girl. You know.
• 1:15:59
  This was was the first late night for me since
• 1:16:01
  the last encounter. Nine forty five came around and there
• 1:16:04
  was no side of the plane. I didn't care, though
• 1:16:08
  my eyes were glued to the binoculars, searching for any
• 1:16:11
  movement on the strip, even a minimal commotion, and my
• 1:16:15
  heart would race. Then. God, it still scares me to
• 1:16:19
  this day. Then, for some reason, I decided to look
• 1:16:23
  down at the monitor that camera was streaming on, and
• 1:16:26
  my world turned upside down. I expected her, I really did.
• 1:16:30
  You can expect something unnatural, but you're never really ready
• 1:16:34
  for it. You always hope that it was just your
• 1:16:37
  imagination or something. But no, there she stood right in
• 1:16:42
  front of the camera in her summer white dress. She
• 1:16:45
  looked different though. She was holding her arms as if
• 1:16:48
  she were freezing. She was shaking, and I could hear
• 1:16:51
  crying through the shitty speakers they gave me. This wasn't
• 1:16:54
  the enity I remember terrorizing me. Then she looked up
• 1:16:58
  at the camera, and though the picture was granny and
• 1:17:00
  black and white, I can see tears in her eyes.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 3: Please it's preezing out here.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 4: Cried at the camera. Audio was obviously out of sync
• 1:17:10
  as she opened her mouth and voice would come through
• 1:17:12
  my speakers much later. Please, I'm not sure what you
• 1:17:17
  do in that situation, but I immediately saw an opportunity.
• 1:17:21
  If I can bring her in and call the security guard,
• 1:17:23
  i'd finally have the proof that I wasn't making it
• 1:17:25
  all up.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: Jerry, get to the control tower right now, please.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 4: He said as I stood up.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: He's gonna let her in, I think, because he's like
• 1:17:34
  it's the proof that I need, and she's like desperate.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 4: I guess just have him come look at the camera.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 3: Well, that's not how they do it in Iowa.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 4: You know what. I don't care what happens to this
• 1:17:42
  guy now. Immediately, Oh my good will, I've got to
• 1:17:45
  let this thing inside. I walk down. I know I
• 1:17:48
  shouldn't have left an active control tower, but this was
• 1:17:51
  my chance. Propped the door open. Adrenaline burst through my pores.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 3: Are you okay?
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 4: I mumbled, with my voice cracking like a schoolgirl's shit.
• 1:18:00
  I was scared, man, you know, yeah, you're opening the
• 1:18:03
  door for this thing. She was still sobbing, hair covering
• 1:18:07
  her face. I was shaking, not sure whether from cold
• 1:18:10
  or fear or both, but I needed to get her
• 1:18:13
  to come in. I stepped out. She took a step
• 1:18:17
  towards me, still crying.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 3: Ma'am, are you all right?
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 4: I spoke again, this time more firmly. She moved the
• 1:18:25
  hair off her face and looked me straight in the eyes. Damn,
• 1:18:30
  I can't explain it, but her eyes, although still filled
• 1:18:34
  with tears, just weren't the same as on camera. They widened,
• 1:18:39
  and I swear to you she wasn't blinking.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 3: Man, please step back.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 4: I said, as she moved another step closer.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: Just opened the door for all right, closed the door
• 1:18:49
  for whoa, whoa?
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 4: Whoa? Why?
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 3: Baby?
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 4: What's all?
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 3: What's all?
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 4: This?
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 3: A right? Baby, sweetheart, I'm gonna need.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 4: You to take a step back. Hey, b babe, go
• 1:18:56
  I need do a dog I need to do to
• 1:18:58
  take a cowboy step back. This is like my impression
• 1:19:04
  of Nick's discordant. Yeah, you didn't need to take a
• 1:19:08
  couple of step back, yeah, I said. Is. She moved
• 1:19:11
  one step closer, now about a foot away from me.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 3: Ma'am, Please step back, she repeated. Oh, she saying, man,
• 1:19:17
  please step back.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 4: She repeated my words, nearly freezing blood off.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: He's like getting the bones.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is like a skin walker thing that's been
• 1:19:31
  haunting the corn field for years. And he's like, oh,
• 1:19:33
  come on in, I gotta show someone else that you're
• 1:19:36
  I got to kill my friend. My legs gave in
• 1:19:40
  and I almost fell to the ground. Her voice, her voice,
• 1:19:43
  wasn't the same one that spoke into the camera. This
• 1:19:47
  voice was genderless. Is that word? It was?
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 5: They them?
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 4: I think it's non binary. Her voice didn't belong to
• 1:19:58
  a woman or a man. I swear to you, but
• 1:20:01
  that wasn't what petrified me to these goosebumps. Now you
• 1:20:04
  know I'm telling the truth, right. Her voice came out
• 1:20:07
  with delay, just like on the camera. Her lips moved,
• 1:20:12
  but the words came out a few seconds later.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 3: What the fuck?
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 4: I mumbled as I leaned against the door, and I'll
• 1:20:18
  believe in what I was seeing.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 5: What the fuck?
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 4: She mumbled back at me, that damn voice coming out
• 1:20:25
  after her mouth had closed. Leave me alone, Get the
• 1:20:27
  fuck away from me, I screamed at her, and I
• 1:20:30
  mean screamed. I never heard myself this lad before accumulation
• 1:20:34
  of all fear and anger. I suppose she took a
• 1:20:36
  violent step towards me, and her face got so close
• 1:20:39
  to mine. I think her nose touched me. She opened
• 1:20:42
  her mouth wide as if she were screaming, but it
• 1:20:45
  was silent, And then seconds after she closed her mouth,
• 1:20:49
  scream came out of her throat. It was unearthly and
• 1:20:54
  so piercing that I was completely shell shocked and able
• 1:20:57
  to do so much as moved. I was frozen still
• 1:20:59
  and spot and she, without moving her face from mine,
• 1:21:02
  she raised her right arm and pointed at the cornfield.
• 1:21:06
  Her eyes were so wide that they didn't look human anymore.
• 1:21:09
  She just stood like that for good thirty seconds or
• 1:21:13
  eternity in my time, not blinking. I couldn't take it anymore.
• 1:21:17
  I just couldn't. I gathered all of bravery I've ever had,
• 1:21:21
  and I've pushed her.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: Look at the camera and do the scream, but don't
• 1:21:24
  make the sound. An editor edit the thing, and so
• 1:21:28
  point is if so, don't scream, but do your mouth
• 1:21:31
  as if you are screaming, and then editor will put
• 1:21:33
  the scream in.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 3: Once you close your mouth and emanating from your throat.
• 1:21:36
  You have to be at pointing like you're at a cornfield.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 4: I have to point like I'm in a corn field,
• 1:21:40
  like you're pointing out the cornfielding Oh is that good?
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 3: Did you like that.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 5: Look?
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 4: Your mouth curled on?
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: That was so funny for some scream now together at
• 1:21:53
  the same time.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 4: Get ready, what it looks like you're holding in a burp?
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 3: No long false.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 4: Unlike invincible creatures in today's books and movies, she fell
• 1:22:11
  as any normal as human would. She fell on her back,
• 1:22:13
  but as soon as she hit the ground, she got
• 1:22:16
  up unnaturally fast. I mean, no human I've ever seen
• 1:22:19
  got up with such speed. At that moment, I was
• 1:22:22
  certain that this was the end of me. But as
• 1:22:24
  soon as she stood back up, she turned around and
• 1:22:27
  ran towards the field. I don't want to stop her.
• 1:22:30
  I'm not sure I even could. I stood there for
• 1:22:32
  some time, trying to figure out what reality I lived in,
• 1:22:36
  and then finally gathered myself enough to climb back to
• 1:22:39
  the control room. Security guard showed up and get thirty
• 1:22:42
  five minutes later, giving me some bullshit excuse for taking
• 1:22:45
  so long. Politicians. Plane landed late as well, and I
• 1:22:48
  chose not to tell anyone about the encounter, as I
• 1:22:50
  was running the risk of sounding and saying at that point,
• 1:22:53
  I didn't know what to do, but I didn't know
• 1:22:55
  that she wasn't going to leave me alone. I spent
• 1:22:58
  the next six nights of the airport glued to myoculars,
• 1:23:00
  scouting the ground for any movement. I talked the guard
• 1:23:04
  into doing a walk through of the strip every couple hours,
• 1:23:07
  just on the off chance that she'd be caught. Naturally,
• 1:23:10
  I didn't tell him what we look for because I
• 1:23:13
  didn't want to sound crazy when he found nothing. It
• 1:23:15
  was not seven since he encounter, and I was spending
• 1:23:19
  my hours staring down the binoculars. Saw the guard walk
• 1:23:22
  around eight forty five pm. He saw me in the tower,
• 1:23:25
  so he laughed and waved, giving me thumbs up. This
• 1:23:28
  wasn't going to work. She wasn't about to get caught.
• 1:23:31
  I showed up for the next day shift. Everyone was
• 1:23:33
  skickling in the break room.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 3: What's going on here?
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 4: I asked? Want to join on the fun? Oh you know, Jerry,
• 1:23:40
  the guard said. Burston was laughter with the others.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 3: I really don't. What's the joke.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm just telling the guys about your boring night.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 4: He said, chuckling and air quoting the word boring.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 3: What do you mean? Come on, man, it's only GUIDs
• 1:23:54
  in here. It's all right.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: No, I really don't know what you mean. Well, I
• 1:24:00
  didn't see you guys last night, so I was just
• 1:24:02
  telling the boys, how good you have it up there
• 1:24:04
  in the control room. What do you mean you guys,
• 1:24:06
  what'd you see? Come on now, man, I saw you
• 1:24:09
  and your lady friend up there last night when I
• 1:24:11
  did the walkthrough.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 3: Remember me waving at you.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 4: Brother, dude, i'd be like, all right, moving out of Iowa,
• 1:24:22
  changing my name, going to the other side of the country.
• 1:24:27
  Absolutely not. It's like, man, I can't find her. She's
• 1:24:30
  just floating behind you the whole time. Yeah.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 3: Also, this guy seeing he sees.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: An ethereal being like floating behind him, He's just like, oh, by.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 4: Getting it. Yeah, fuck you, Jerry loser. Like reversing a VHS,
• 1:24:49
  memories from last night started pouring through my mind. Nothing happened, though,
• 1:24:54
  nothing that I could remember. I was looking at the
• 1:24:57
  airfield the whole night. Jerry even saw me and wait
• 1:25:00
  saved and nothing was out of the ordinary. End his wave,
• 1:25:04
  his laugh, thumbs up.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw your lady friend standing behind you when
• 1:25:09
  I waved.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I didn't know it was a secret.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 4: I don't know how my legs worked, but I used
• 1:25:14
  them to run out of the break room, scorted by
• 1:25:16
  laughter from my co workers. That funny visual.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: That description is pretty funny because it reads like this.
• 1:25:22
  He's like, I don't know how my legs work, but
• 1:25:24
  it's just like.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 4: It's funny for everyone else because he walks in. Jerry's
• 1:25:34
  been telling about like I had this scroll up here.
• 1:25:35
  He's like, oh, we saw your lady friend.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 3: And he's just like, like, we saw your lady friend.
• 1:25:40
  She was up there looking your bowl.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 4: Okay, alright, we don't need to counch. We don't need
• 1:25:46
  to get all the graphics or anything. I know.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 3: I think we can all assume.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, Yeah, Amelia earhart N.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 4: She was not lady just went to her. Oh my gosh. Okay.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: First thought that they snipped, look at you buttthole?
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 4: First first thought.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: There's something funny about I'm somebody's just saying buttole, isn't
• 1:26:15
  it how often you actually your butthole?
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: I feel like when you're a kid, you were like
• 1:26:19
  you used to always say like you're a butthole.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I haven't.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 4: We can be eight if you want to act like
• 1:26:26
  we're years older. Okay. Also, Jerry rules By the way,
• 1:26:31
  Jerry's pretty cool minutes lately than being thirty five minutes
• 1:26:34
  late when he's like I need you here right now.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: He's probably thirty five minutes late because he's like, oh yeah,
• 1:26:37
  I wantn't want to go up there and watch you
• 1:26:39
  get your ass eating your lady For.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 4: Saying Jerry worked at the World Trade Center. You think
• 1:26:45
  they're like, hey, we see we need to come check
• 1:26:46
  something out. He's like yeah, and he like turns the corner.
• 1:26:49
  He's like, oh my.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: Gosh, he's a ghost up there to eating another guy's
• 1:26:52
  I asked, is that a good dream impression?
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 4: First thought, at least I wasn't going insane someone else
• 1:27:05
  saw her, you know. Second thought, what in the god's
• 1:27:10
  name she was behind me for how long? And how
• 1:27:13
  the hell didn't I hear her? Honestly, I had no
• 1:27:16
  idea what to do at that point. The only hope
• 1:27:18
  for my well being was that she'd get caught by
• 1:27:21
  someone other than me. Otherwise everything I said to anyone
• 1:27:24
  would make me sound insane.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 3: I didn't hear no wonder.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: It sounds like somebody eating a bullet chili bind me.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, oh my god, it sound.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 3: Like you eat a bullet pedigree.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 4: There was a scary one. Fine, that's all that was happening.
• 1:27:57
  That soupped.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know one is quit that job at Iowa.
• 1:28:13
  I wouldn't either.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 3: This chair is comfortable, yeah, Miller.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 4: My.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, who would have thought that?
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: Who would have thought these Who would have thought these
• 1:28:25
  gaming cheers were.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 4: This comfy of a Herman Miller doesn't do that?
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's cool as we got those Herman Miller's that
• 1:28:34
  clean your bottom h.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 4: Control doll?
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 5: Oh I wish?
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 4: Okay. The only hope for my well being was that
• 1:28:45
  she get caught by someone other than me. Otherwise everything
• 1:28:48
  I said to anyone would make me sound insane. Two
• 1:28:51
  weeks had passed by with no further sight. Two. I
• 1:29:00
  hate how much poison this story for me now because
• 1:29:03
  imagine him like leaned over on his elbows with his
• 1:29:06
  binoculars looking out the window and behind him. Okay, quick.
• 1:29:17
  Two weeks had passed by with no further side of her.
• 1:29:21
  Then sometime in early June, mind you, I was still
• 1:29:24
  scanning the airstrip every night. I okay, I saw her
• 1:29:36
  at the edge of the field. She just stood there.
• 1:29:39
  I must have watched her for two hours, and she
• 1:29:41
  didn't move a finger.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 6: She she didn't move a finger, and she was knuckled
• 1:29:51
  do I hate you know what, that's the worst thing
• 1:29:54
  about it.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 4: I hate these jokes. They're so gross, but you're funny.
• 1:29:59
  That makes.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 3: It writes itself. Dude, the fucking she.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 4: Didn't move a finger from I must have watched her
• 1:30:06
  for two hours, and she didn't move a finger. She
• 1:30:08
  just stood looking straight at me one hundred yards away
• 1:30:12
  in the control tower. After the initial shock, and again
• 1:30:16
  every time I saw her was a shock to me.
• 1:30:19
  I did the only logical thing and picked up the radio.
• 1:30:22
  I called Jerry and asked him to do a walk through.
• 1:30:24
  As soon as the door of the airport barn opened,
• 1:30:26
  she slowly walked back into the cornfield, never taking her
• 1:30:30
  eyes off me. By the time Jerry walked by where
• 1:30:33
  she stood, she was long gone. This happened every night
• 1:30:36
  for the next eight days. She'd stand at the edge
• 1:30:39
  of the field, staring at me and not blinking, and
• 1:30:41
  every time Jerry would come out, she'd slowly disappear into
• 1:30:45
  the field. One night, I called Jerry up in the
• 1:30:48
  control room for a simple whiskey, hoping she'd come out
• 1:30:50
  and I'd show her to him. It's always so convenient
• 1:30:53
  in movies, though, isn't it The entity whose existence she's
• 1:30:57
  trying to prove never appears before witnesses. Right, Well, Jerry
• 1:31:01
  came up and we shared a nice bottle of Jack
• 1:31:03
  Daniels over some small talk. I was discreetly keeping on
• 1:31:06
  the cornfield at the same time she always appeared. I
• 1:31:09
  noticed movement in the field, and there she was. Came
• 1:31:12
  out of the field and froze in the same spot
• 1:31:13
  she always says. Had to be careful. I'm so excited, man,
• 1:31:17
  I was overrun with emotion. She was finally about to
• 1:31:20
  get caught. But I had to contained myself so I
• 1:31:23
  could look somewhat same while telling Jerry what was happening.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 3: Hey, Jerry, do you do you see what I see?
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 4: Asa? As I handed him the binoculars done by the cornfield,
• 1:31:33
  him staring down the strip for the longest five seconds
• 1:31:36
  of my life.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 3: What in the world was that girl doing there?
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 4: Oh? Man? The sense of relief?
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 3: All right, I had something to tell.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 4: You, I spoke calmly. It took about five minutes to
• 1:31:48
  give him a gist of what was happening. All the stalking,
• 1:31:50
  control room destruction incident, on camera.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 3: Jesus man, why didn't you tell me something earlier? Would
• 1:31:56
  you believe me if I did?
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 4: He just shook his head. All right, Jerry said, as
• 1:32:00
  he stood up.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: You call the police and I'm gonna go down there
• 1:32:02
  and speak to her. I'll hold her until they come.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 4: All right, Jerry, you do that, buddy?
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, good luck, Bud.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 4: I was strongest soldier marching off to scripped to shreds
• 1:32:14
  at the end of the run.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 3: All right, I'll take care of it.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 4: I wanted to tell him to be careful. I wanted
• 1:32:20
  to even stop him, but more than anything, really, I
• 1:32:22
  wanted it all the end. I dialed N one one
• 1:32:25
  while I watched Jerry walk down the strip toward this
• 1:32:28
  this thing by the field. She wasn't moving, matter of fact,
• 1:32:32
  she was still looking straight at me.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 3: She whispers in his ear, and he does dead sprints
• 1:32:37
  to a plane.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 4: Jerry, No, what do you think she whispered to the
• 1:32:45
  first guy that made him run par the Didn't she
• 1:32:48
  say come to the field?
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 3: Whatever was something like that?
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 4: Maybe? Yeah, I don't know. If you saw a woman
• 1:32:53
  outside and she said come to the field, that wouldn't
• 1:32:54
  be immediate reason to take off in your airplane. You
• 1:32:57
  know this is true. They'd have to whisper like something
• 1:33:01
  about me no one else knew, or like a dead
• 1:33:04
  relative's name or something like that.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 3: For what they like, this is what would I have
• 1:33:07
  to say for you to get in a plane and
• 1:33:08
  fly off.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 4: It'd have to be like like if I had a
• 1:33:12
  family member that recently died, they said, like they're waiting
• 1:33:14
  for me or whatever, like and this random person just
• 1:33:17
  knows about that or something that would that. I'd be like,
• 1:33:19
  all right, I'm out, I'm leaving. Because if some if
• 1:33:22
  I saw a woman, like realistically, outside of the story,
• 1:33:25
  if a crazy woman came up, it was like, come
• 1:33:27
  to the cornfield, I'd be like, what is this crack
• 1:33:30
  addict doing on the runway. It's like, no, I'm not
• 1:33:34
  gonna do that. Stopped to get away from me. It
• 1:33:39
  was late in Atlantic, at such a small, uneventful town.
• 1:33:41
  The cop said, it take a good fifteen minutes to
• 1:33:44
  come to the airport. Binoculars pointed at her. As Jerry approached.
• 1:33:48
  I saw that he started to talk to her. She
• 1:33:50
  was still looking straight in my eyes all the way
• 1:33:53
  from there. Then, without taking her eyes off of me,
• 1:33:57
  she leaned towards his ear and whispered something. I don't
• 1:34:02
  know what, I'm not a lip reader, took a step
• 1:34:05
  back than another one, turned around and looked at me.
• 1:34:11
  I've never seen such a terrified look on another human.
• 1:34:15
  This man was beyond himself, face so petrified than even
• 1:34:21
  resembled that Jerry. I knew. He ran into the field.
• 1:34:26
  Bro Jesus is all I could say. And she was
• 1:34:31
  still looking at me, only she had this what do
• 1:34:33
  you call it? Misbehaving smile on her face. I had it.
• 1:34:37
  That pilot and Jerry both ran away from her after
• 1:34:40
  she whispered something to them. And why was I still here?
• 1:34:43
  What was happening to me?
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 3: I had it.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 4: I ran down the stairs and out of the tower.
• 1:34:48
  She was standing in her spot. As I ran to her,
• 1:34:52
  I could see she still had that smile on her
• 1:34:54
  pale face. No more talking, so wasn't a movie. I
• 1:34:57
  wasn't about to let her run again. I tackled her.
• 1:35:01
  It sounds funny, I know, but I ran into that
• 1:35:03
  bitch and I hit her hard. We both hit the pavement.
• 1:35:06
  As soon as I got on top of her, I
• 1:35:08
  noticed she still had the smile, even though there was
• 1:35:11
  a big cut on her forehead. She wasn't talking, she
• 1:35:14
  wasn't resisting, She was just laying there, smiling at me
• 1:35:18
  and bleeding. I heard the car pull up by the strip,
• 1:35:20
  and you can imagine how thankful I was when I
• 1:35:22
  saw it was the police over here here, I screamed
• 1:35:25
  as I held her down, though she wasn't really trying
• 1:35:27
  to escape, so the cops ran towardoise. I looked at
• 1:35:30
  her one last time. Why why, I asked, so frustrated,
• 1:35:35
  so angry. She just smiled even wider, See you.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 3: Later, alligator. She was what kind of cringe?
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 4: Oh the lines kind of cringe. Well it may have
• 1:35:50
  some grace hold on, she whispered. Second before a police
• 1:35:54
  officer pulled me off her. Her words came out with
• 1:35:56
  the lay again. That wasn't the last shock of the night.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 3: Out Officer, this man, this man was trying to kill me.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 4: Girl cried as the officer helped her up. He tried
• 1:36:05
  to murder me. I was speechless. This woman, I thought
• 1:36:09
  she was what a demon was now acting human. I
• 1:36:14
  was sure she was finally caught, but as the cop
• 1:36:16
  turned to me, I realized I was alone on the strip,
• 1:36:19
  nearly choking a defenseless woman. Jerry was nowhere to be found.
• 1:36:24
  Take me, said, as the officer stepped towards me. The
• 1:36:27
  sense of helplessness was the most overwhelming feeling I've ever experienced.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 3: But please don't let her get away.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 4: Spent the night in jail, certain that I was going
• 1:36:36
  to be found guilty for everything. It's the only witness
• 1:36:38
  long gone to who knows where. When my buddies from
• 1:36:41
  the airport came to bail me out in the morning,
• 1:36:43
  I was so tired I didn't feel like explaining anything.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: I just told him that if Jerry were here, he'd
• 1:36:50
  tell you what. Jerry's at the airport right now.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 4: That was in disbelief, but I didn't want to waste
• 1:36:57
  a second. Twenty minutes later, I was standing in front
• 1:36:59
  of Jerry. Man, why don't you tell me, one, I asked,
• 1:37:03
  nearly crying from all emotions.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 2: Tell what.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 4: Jerry answered, just laughed and looked around the break room
• 1:37:09
  that was now full of coworkers.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: Gerry, I went to jail because of her. Man, you
• 1:37:13
  gotta tell him. Look, man, why don't you get some
• 1:37:16
  rest and we could talk about this later, all.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 4: Right, Jerry said in a condescending voice. Patting my shoulder.
• 1:37:22
  I lost it. I just started crying. I was the
• 1:37:24
  most helpless man in the world. There was nobody that
• 1:37:26
  could help me, and this hurt more than not understanding
• 1:37:29
  why Jerry chose to act as if nothing happened. Last night,
• 1:37:32
  I walked out of that airport, never to come back.
• 1:37:35
  Three days later, I received a letter in the mail
• 1:37:37
  giving me a formal you have been terminated notice, followed
• 1:37:40
  by a call from a police department saying that no
• 1:37:42
  charges will be filed. As a woman there's nowhere to
• 1:37:45
  be found. I moved to New York to live with
• 1:37:48
  your aunt. After that, I never did see that woman again,
• 1:37:51
  And to be honest, to this day, I'm not sure
• 1:37:54
  what I dealt with. If I'd put my hand on
• 1:37:56
  the Bible, I'd say it wasn't a human who stalked
• 1:37:58
  me those nights in Iowa. There's a little bit more
• 1:38:01
  of the story. So the alligator line, I was gonna say,
• 1:38:03
  could have some grace because that also sounds like something
• 1:38:06
  like someone would tell a kid or a thing like that.
• 1:38:08
  So without what I talked about with the skin walker,
• 1:38:10
  how it would have to be something from my past,
• 1:38:13
  I was thinking, maybe see you later alligator with something
• 1:38:15
  from his past, maybe something his mom used to say
• 1:38:18
  to it or something like that, and I could explain it.
• 1:38:19
  But yamn't got an explanation for that. But that's why
• 1:38:23
  that was fine to me, because that's what I thought of.
• 1:38:24
  It's probably something from his history. Right at that point,
• 1:38:28
  my aunt walked into the room.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: Is he talking about that woman in the Atlantic again?
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 4: She said, trying to look irritated.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 2: I was just telling the boy about what happened to
• 1:38:36
  me worth knowing what's out there? Oh stopping, Alex.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 9: Poor guys doesn't need to listen to your rambling, rambling, rambling, bitch,
• 1:38:45
  You did say that rambling rambling?
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 7: Since I left, that damn airport has had forty one
• 1:38:50
  air traffic controllers.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 3: Quid? How about that?
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: Well, I think it's time to go. We overstayed it
• 1:38:54
  as it.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 4: Is, my aunt said, trying to get out of the
• 1:38:57
  awkward situation.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: Well, walk you out.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 3: We'll walk you out.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 4: When we got outside the house, my uncle sat in
• 1:39:02
  the car. But I had to ask my aunt was
• 1:39:04
  that all it started?
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 9: But she interrupted, oh goodness, no, we don't like to
• 1:39:09
  talk about it. But Yolka started his depression medication around
• 1:39:12
  that time, and it affect him in a strange way.
• 1:39:15
  It was back when medications weren't well researched. That's why
• 1:39:18
  he was let go and unable to work at airports again.
• 1:39:20
  And the woman, uh yes there was a girl there.
• 1:39:25
  Look at the cops got him off before he did
• 1:39:26
  any damage. But he's been under control ever since, no incidents.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 3: Knock on wood.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 4: As she opened the car door, I whispered, one last.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 3: Thing, and all those controls you quit?
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 4: Is that true? My aunt smile went from genuine ones
• 1:39:41
  one that was very obviously forced.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 9: We better get on the road before the night falls. Honey,
• 1:39:46
  call hers sometime. You got her number, you know, see
• 1:39:51
  you later, alligator.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 4: Hm. So is the implication there then that she became
• 1:39:57
  his wife, like ed his wife and then became I
• 1:40:03
  think that's what it's assuming. Yeah, but I don't know.
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 3: We're in an unreliable narrator situation.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 4: Now, yeah, well he could have said the skinwalker no.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: Well yes, yes, but also the because all the stuff.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 4: That discredits his story came from her.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: At the well, thank you about being I mean, we're
• 1:40:20
  also hearing from him though, being like, well, I don't
• 1:40:22
  know why he didn't say.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know why he didn't.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 4: It could also be that he was on the medication,
• 1:40:30
  started to see things lose his mind got fired. Uh,
• 1:40:33
  and then maybe his wife says see you later, alligator.
• 1:40:36
  So he imprinted that on the story. But if you
• 1:40:38
  view everything literally, his wife was killed by the skin
• 1:40:42
  walker at some point and replaced right, probably similar to
• 1:40:46
  what happened.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 2: That's a that's a creative reach. There's nothing to assume
• 1:40:50
  that the skin walker killed his wife.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 4: See she said see you later, alligator, implying I'll see
• 1:40:56
  you later. And now the wife's saying it, So no, I.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 2: Understand, but I'm just saying and that like there's I mean,
• 1:41:02
  I guess we assume that the creature found him in
• 1:41:04
  New York and killed the wife because that's where the
• 1:41:06
  ant was at.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 4: I think it's implying it followed him and like at
• 1:41:10
  some point replaced her something like that, niccause I think
• 1:41:12
  that's the same thing that happened with Jerry, because Jerry
• 1:41:14
  gets freaked out, runs into the cornfield, and then the
• 1:41:16
  next day Jerry's they're like, yeah, you think the skin
• 1:41:20
  walker was probably just the It's it's like one or
• 1:41:23
  several replacing people like that. Yeah.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 3: Well, there's one thing to take away from all of this.
• 1:41:27
  It's fuck cancer.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, this was This is a very fun story.
• 1:41:31
  It's very telling the story. It's a shame that the
• 1:41:32
  author was taken too soon, but I am glad that
• 1:41:36
  stories like this from them we can still read, we
• 1:41:38
  can enjoy, we can talk about because this was a
• 1:41:40
  legitimately creepy story with her staring and running to the
• 1:41:43
  tower and stuff. All that was great. This was very
• 1:41:46
  well done, and it's a tragedy that he's taken too soon,
• 1:41:50
  but I'm glad we still get to enjoy what he wrote.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 2: Fuck cancer. Fuck cancer, And guys, thank.
