[SPEAKER_04]: Now you get to hang out and check out this word from our friends over at the sightings podcast.
5:52

5:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it the mysterious allure of the unknown?
6:03

6:47
[SPEAKER_04]: So here we are.
6:48
[SPEAKER_04]: Holocaust back in the forty and fifty Connecticut version or we're magically whisk away to the land that is Connecticut.
7:01
[SPEAKER_04]: Good old Connecticut.
7:03
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
7:06
[SPEAKER_04]: Honestly, when I think about like America and states and stuff, it's not Connecticut.
7:13
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, as a guy firmly planted in the Midwest, Connecticut is not one of the first states to jump into my brain.
7:20
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's know, that's not like heat toward anybody from Connecticut.
7:24
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just like not a state that I think about a lot.
7:27
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, hopefully it's full of a bunch of weirdos.
7:29
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a lot of lore and stuff.
7:31
[SPEAKER_04]: a lot of the interesting stuff.
7:34
[SPEAKER_04]: It is ironic though that, like, because Connecticut is like super American.
7:39
[SPEAKER_04]: It's nicknamed the Constitution State.
7:42
[SPEAKER_04]: It's state song as Yankee Doodle.
7:43
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, that's pretty American.
7:46
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
7:46
[SPEAKER_04]: Good for them.
7:48
[SPEAKER_04]: It's one of the first thirteen original colonies.
7:50
[SPEAKER_04]: I was just giving you a little Connecticut tidbits here.
7:53
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the third smallest state, like it geographically.
7:58
[SPEAKER_04]: It's only a hundred and ten miles long and seventy miles wide.
8:01
[SPEAKER_04]: That's tiny.
8:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like there, I mean, I know there's people that own more property than that.
8:07
[SPEAKER_04]: That's tiny.
8:09
[SPEAKER_01]: It's tiny.
8:10
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's the, like, thirty people that live there.
8:13
[SPEAKER_04]: No, it's the fourth in population density, the smallest and the most packed.
8:21
[SPEAKER_04]: How?
8:22
[SPEAKER_04]: Because people have been in the Constitution state.
8:25
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I guess.
8:29
[SPEAKER_04]: It's had some famous people that were born there Samuel Colt of Colt revolvers Showman PT Barnum of Barnum and Bailey Circus Charles Good Year of the Good Year tire fortune.
8:42
[SPEAKER_04]: He's famous.
8:43
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Edmund Land of inner of the Polaroid camera and Noah Webster the dictionary guy.
8:49
[SPEAKER_01]: So Yeah, he's not that cool
8:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Nah.
8:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, I mean, he wrote out a bunch of words.
8:56
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a dog.
8:58
[SPEAKER_04]: Kind of a nerd, if you will.
9:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's one of the dumbest books out there.
9:03
[SPEAKER_04]: A geek.
9:04
[SPEAKER_04]: There's different tiers to this stuff.
9:07
[SPEAKER_04]: I feel like a geek is like someone who is into learning things and a nerd is like someone who's into to like weird nerdy things.
9:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's pretty good description.
9:24
[SPEAKER_04]: That makes sense.
9:27
[SPEAKER_04]: Like a geek memorizes calculus equations and a nerd will memorize anime dialogue.
9:38
[SPEAKER_04]: That's fair.
9:40
[SPEAKER_04]: Is that in my office?
9:41
[SPEAKER_04]: Am I off here?
9:41
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know what a dork does.
9:42
[SPEAKER_04]: I haven't got that far yet.
9:44
[SPEAKER_04]: Anyway, it's not what you're here for.
9:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Working it out.
9:48
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll circle back to that in a follow-up episode.
9:50
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not what you're here for.
9:50
[SPEAKER_04]: We're here for the weird stuff.
9:52
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's what we're gonna dive into.
9:55
[SPEAKER_04]: You said that you hoped that there was one to weirdos and Connecticut.
9:58
[SPEAKER_04]: We're gonna start with the melon heads.
10:02
[SPEAKER_04]: It sounds great, doesn't it?
10:03
[SPEAKER_01]: It's interesting title.
10:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I will give you that.
10:08
[SPEAKER_01]: So the melon sounds actually it sounds like a B horror movie.
10:12
[SPEAKER_04]: It kind of is good.
10:14
[SPEAKER_04]: It's kind of set up.
10:15
[SPEAKER_04]: Connecticut has a lot of weird lore.
10:18
[SPEAKER_04]: Like as a whole.
10:20
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's a weird because not a big area, so.
10:23
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, there's something going on.
10:25
[SPEAKER_04]: Something weird.
10:28
[SPEAKER_04]: Something terrifying and cannibalistic is lurking around in the backwaters of Connecticut.
10:34
[SPEAKER_04]: This is the melon heads, of course.
10:37
[SPEAKER_04]: These small humanoids with giant domes, bulging eyes, and long spindly limbs lurking the woods, and reportedly prey on passerby's.
10:49
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
10:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, a big ass head and get kicked.
10:54
[SPEAKER_04]: Especially their short.
10:55
[SPEAKER_01]: The bolt.
10:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Be a funny, funny ball rolling down the road.
11:02
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a tiny body connected to it that rolls around.
11:06
[SPEAKER_04]: The Connecticut melon heads are reported to inhabit the woods of Fairfield County and Connecticut.
11:11
[SPEAKER_04]: Their described as having large malformed heads supposedly due to cranial deformation caused by a long-forgotten nineteenth-century medical procedure.
11:21
[SPEAKER_04]: One of the origins of the melon heads can be traced back to a mental institution in Fairfield County known as the Fairfield Hills Hospital.
11:30
[SPEAKER_04]: According to local legends, the hospital was home to a group of mentally disabled children who were subjected to a cranny ottomy.
11:36
[SPEAKER_04]: A procedure in much portion of the skull would be surgically removed.
11:42
[SPEAKER_04]: The procedure is meant to reduce the size of the head and was thought to be beneficial to patients suffering from mental illness.
11:48
[SPEAKER_04]: The children were allegedly just released into the surrounding woods after the institution was closed.
11:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the protocol here.
12:01
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, hey, dude, just saying you're definitely not all there, um, heads big.
12:08
[SPEAKER_01]: So, with that being said, what we're going to do is we're going to move piece your head, okay?
12:15
[SPEAKER_01]: And this, my friend, is going to fix all your problems.
12:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't see anything they could go wrong.
12:22
[SPEAKER_01]: And then when it does go wrong, and the hospital goes, ass up.
12:26
[SPEAKER_01]: They're like, hey, just saying, we could just release these little shits in the woods.
12:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, not out there.
12:36
[SPEAKER_01]: We just let him go.
12:37
[SPEAKER_01]: They'll figure it out.
12:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Watch it now.
12:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Now they've created a little cannibal tribe.
12:42
[SPEAKER_01]: A fat head.
12:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Just running around.
12:47
[SPEAKER_04]: Even people just running around attacking the public.
12:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
12:54
[SPEAKER_01]: How you don't judo kick him down and beyond me.
12:58
[SPEAKER_04]: I had to look up if a cranny ought to be was an actual thing.
13:02
[SPEAKER_04]: Apparently it is.
13:04
[SPEAKER_04]: So we're going to we're going to talk about craniotomy versus craniectomy.
13:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, let's figure this out because I want to hear about it.
13:11
[SPEAKER_04]: But then, both surgical procedures that involve opening the skull to access the brain, but the key different lies in whether the bone flap is immediately replaced after the procedure.
13:23
[SPEAKER_04]: In a craniumy, the bone flap is replaced and secured with screws and plates, while in a craniumy-ectomy, the bone flap is not immediately replaced.
13:32
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just stored later for replacement, or replaced with artificial materials.
13:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's how that works.
13:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we just put this on ice.
13:41
[SPEAKER_01]: We could put it back later.
13:42
[SPEAKER_03]: That's fine.
13:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
13:44
[SPEAKER_03]: That's fine.
13:45
[SPEAKER_01]: And I also feel like it's not typically the best idea to run screws into somebody's skull.
13:56
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it is the best idea if you're just going to let them go in the woods afterwards.
13:59
[SPEAKER_01]: That is true.
14:00
[SPEAKER_01]: That's true.
14:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't, I forgot to consider that.
14:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't like the the skulls are very thick.
14:09
[SPEAKER_01]: uh substance to be running drywall screws through.
14:13
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I guess it depends.
14:17
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't understand why their bodies are so tiny.
14:21
[SPEAKER_01]: All I do is picture rolling a pumpkin down the road and it has a stem that does like a like a like a just shakes off fucking weird.
14:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's what I, that's what I picture.
14:34
[SPEAKER_01]: If you do kick one, it just takes off rolling and it's body just kind of stays straight and just hobbles.
14:40
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all down your own question.
14:44
[SPEAKER_04]: Question.
14:45
[SPEAKER_04]: How many melon heads do you think you could fight off before they get the best of you?
14:50
[SPEAKER_01]: At least fifteen.
14:52
[SPEAKER_04]: I quit them to like, so I'm assuming they're probably like, I don't know, like three feet tall.
14:58
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah.
15:00
[SPEAKER_04]: No body masks.
15:00
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you have to be a little bit strong to carry it around of thirty seven pound dome.
15:06
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
15:09
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
15:09
[SPEAKER_04]: Fifteen's a good number.
15:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I think.
15:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Fifteen solid.
15:12
[SPEAKER_04]: It'd be like fighting grace.
15:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
15:14
[SPEAKER_04]: Honestly, only any any kind of advancement that the grace have the melon heads have went backwards.
15:24
[SPEAKER_01]: But the determining factor that we didn't calculate in this equation is
15:29
[SPEAKER_01]: What are the melon heads, jaw power like?
15:33
[SPEAKER_01]: If they can, if they can run up and just clean, take a chunk out of you, you might have some problems.
15:38
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah, take your leg off at the shin.
15:41
[SPEAKER_04]: Why?
15:41
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not saying each whole leg of once.
15:43
[SPEAKER_01]: You're done it.
15:45
[SPEAKER_01]: But even if it like gets onto your calf and just bites a massive chunk out of your calf, like that's
15:52
[SPEAKER_01]: They can debilitate you pretty quick.
15:54
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I lose a few.
15:55
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to start thinking weird.
15:58
[SPEAKER_01]: You got to start throwing roundhouses quick, especially if you make a one leg.
16:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, be efficient with them.
16:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Make contacts.
16:05
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, don't miss because then the little things.
16:08
[SPEAKER_01]: If they swarm in, they can take chunks out of you, dude.
16:11
[SPEAKER_01]: It's over.
16:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
16:13
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
16:13
[SPEAKER_01]: There's like little fat head zombies.
16:18
[SPEAKER_01]: So with any kind of one of those little toys called.
16:22
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I'm talking about you have some in your room.
16:25
[SPEAKER_01]: That's it.
16:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
16:30
[SPEAKER_04]: So with any kind of geographical lore, there is a lot of starting points to how the melon heads came about.
16:39
[SPEAKER_04]: One of them being this, that we just talked about, the medical procedures and such, those kind of spin off into one of two things.
16:49
[SPEAKER_04]: The institution was closed or it burned down.
16:52
[SPEAKER_04]: So either way, the kids got out into the damn forest.
16:57
[SPEAKER_04]: Other claims that they are an incestuous backward tribe of rednecks.
17:05
[SPEAKER_04]: And these are their offspring running around.
17:08
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a little discriminatory towards some rednecks there.
17:14
[SPEAKER_04]: I just do the research.
17:18
[SPEAKER_04]: Some claim them to be the long lineage of a colonial family that was banished into the woods because of witchcraft.
17:25
[SPEAKER_04]: I think I talked about it a little bit.
17:26
[SPEAKER_01]: That's interesting.
17:28
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
17:29
[SPEAKER_01]: That seems like a little bit more of a, I mean, it's kind of crazy.
17:33
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's a little more of a logical explanation versus we cut chunks of their heads out and let them all free into wood through about the window.
17:43
[SPEAKER_04]: Some more variations, according to one variation of the myth, the Fairfield County, or Fairfield County, was once the location of an asylum for the criminally insane that burned down in the fall of nineteen sixty.
17:54
[SPEAKER_04]: Resulting in the death of all the staff and most of the patients, except for ten to twenty inmates that were on account for supposedly having survived.
18:03
[SPEAKER_04]: and escaped to the woods.
18:06
[SPEAKER_04]: The legend states that the melon heads appearance as a result of having resorted to cannibalism in order to survive harsh winners in the region, also due to inbreeding, which in turn caused some sort of hydrocephalis, which is like water on the brain, which caused the head this well.
18:23
[SPEAKER_04]: Some retellings of this version substitute the asylum or prison with places of business or campgrounds or the inmates or patients are exchanged with employees, staff and campgoers.
18:38
[SPEAKER_04]: Individual variations will modify what town these individuals originally are from and where they end up.
18:44
[SPEAKER_04]: So you have cannibalistic tribe in the woods.
18:48
[SPEAKER_04]: Nobody can agree on where they came from.
18:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's kind of fitting for
18:54
[SPEAKER_01]: for that scenario, realistically.
18:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
18:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, as much as I hate to say it, the inbreeding aspect makes a little bit of sense.
19:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Great, so anomalies there.
19:08
[SPEAKER_04]: Connecticut Hills have eyes.
19:10
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, yeah, that's kind of, that's what I'm visioned.
19:14
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a scary shit.
19:16
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I mean, that's not something that doesn't happen.
19:23
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a council.
19:25
[SPEAKER_04]: hold like towns living in the mountains and shit that haven't seen other people for years and years and years.
19:32
[SPEAKER_04]: So not that far off.
19:36
[SPEAKER_01]: No, and it would be terrifying.
19:39
[SPEAKER_04]: According to another variation, which when I talked about earlier, the melon heads are descendants of a colonial area, or a colonial era family from the Shelton Trumble, who were banished after accusations of witchcraft were made against them, causing them to retreat to the woods.
19:55
[SPEAKER_04]: As with the first version of the legend, this variation attributes to the appearance of the melon heads due to inbreeding, melon heads allegedly prey upon humans who wander into their territory.
20:05
[SPEAKER_04]: Like the first version, individuals retelling, individual retellings will modify what town, the family was originally from and where they end up.
20:13
[SPEAKER_04]: Sightings of the melon heads have often been reported in the area ever since and they are said to be harmless, shy creatures that flee at the side of humans sometimes.
20:21
[SPEAKER_04]: So either they're cannibalistic attacking everything that moves or they're scared of you and run away.
20:27
[SPEAKER_01]: There's little bashful things.
20:28
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, just open those giant water melon-sized heads out.
20:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
20:34
[SPEAKER_01]: This is my favorite, that's my favorite version, I think, because they're not cannibals and it links back to the early colonial days, like it has a thick lore to it that I enjoy.
20:49
[SPEAKER_04]: Kind of getting a little bit more into like the commonality of all of the folklore here.
20:55
[SPEAKER_04]: One thing that's in common is the inclusion of a secluded rustic or single lane dirt road that runs through their territory.
21:03
[SPEAKER_04]: Many towns in Fairfield County and New Haven County.
21:06
[SPEAKER_04]: have rule-enforceded sections, and it's not uncommon for these forests to have rural roads running through them.
21:12
[SPEAKER_04]: These roads at times are associated with the local variation of the melon head legend, and are said to be part of melon head territory.
21:17
[SPEAKER_04]: In a number of towns such as Newtown, New Millford, Shelton, Trumble, and Monroe, several legends placed the melon heads territory around a mysterious and mythical street, commonly referred to as Dracula Drive.
21:30
[SPEAKER_04]: None of these towns that have melon head legends have roads with the actual name Dracula Drive.
21:35
[SPEAKER_04]: But depending on what version of the legend is told, one of several existing streets are mistakenly referred to or coincidentally coincide with the Dracula Drive mentioned in the Mellonhead stories.
21:46
[SPEAKER_04]: For instance, some legends placed the Mellonhead's territory in and around saw Mill City Road in Shelton.
21:53
[SPEAKER_04]: And that is mistaken for Dracula Drive.
21:55
[SPEAKER_04]: Some other roads commonly mistaken for Dracula Drive include Edmunds Road in Oxford, Velvet Street in Trumble in Monroe.
22:04
[SPEAKER_04]: Zion Hill Road in Milford, the roads around Lake Mohegan in Fairfield, Marginal Road in New Haven, Jeremy Swamp Road in Southbury, and paths in roads in or around Roosevelt forest in Stratford.
22:20
[SPEAKER_04]: So holocul, our Connecticut holocul folk.
22:24
[SPEAKER_04]: If you have any information on the melon heads or these particular roads, if you've been out on these roads and seen some weirdness, we're going to need you to circle back here and let us know.
22:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to go out to Connecticut and randomly stumble across somebody in a diner or a gas station and be like, hey boys,
22:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Watch out for them.
22:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Watch out for them.
22:52
[SPEAKER_01]: They're out here.
22:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
22:54
[SPEAKER_04]: There was of course I started looking for like actual melon head sightings and it takes you directly to read it and one person was on there was like I made it to the millenid compound and they all ran me off.
23:05
[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
23:07
[SPEAKER_04]: Sick.
23:09
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
23:11
[SPEAKER_04]: From melon heads we go.
23:14
[SPEAKER_04]: to another place in Connecticut, hanging hills, which probably isn't that far because Connecticut isn't that big.
23:19
[SPEAKER_04]: So we've got the black dog of hanging hills.
23:21
[SPEAKER_04]: You're going to start out with a quote, if you meet the black dog once, it shall be for joy.
23:26
[SPEAKER_04]: If you meet the black dog twice, it shall be for sorrow and the third for death.
23:32
[SPEAKER_04]: So just north of downtown Meridian and southern Connecticut are the hanging hills, which run through Hubbard Park in a hundred acre mountainous area on the national register of historic places.
23:43
[SPEAKER_04]: covered in a, covered in a forest broken by different cliffs and rocky outcroppings.
23:52
[SPEAKER_04]: This is the land of the black dog.
23:54
[SPEAKER_04]: The first reported sighting.
23:57
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow, of the black dog.
23:59
[SPEAKER_04]: By someone other than the locals was in the late eighteen nineties.
24:02
[SPEAKER_04]: When a New York geologist WHC pension, visited the hanging hills and discovered a medium-sized black dog that began to follow it.
24:10
[SPEAKER_04]: the dog remained with pinch in the entire day.
24:12
[SPEAKER_04]: Either barking or whining or doing anything like annoying.
24:16
[SPEAKER_04]: So he was kind of glad to have the company.
24:20
[SPEAKER_04]: But when the scientists started to leave the dog, who he was happy to have along, vanished into thin air right before his eyes.
24:29
[SPEAKER_04]: He wrote about his encounter in the April to June, eighteen, ninety eight Connecticut quarterly on a second trip around three years later,
24:39
[SPEAKER_04]: Pension saw the dog again.
24:40
[SPEAKER_04]: A companion he was with, however, having been to the area before was seeing his dog for the third time.
24:46
[SPEAKER_04]: Glegeon has it that the third time seeing the black dog means a death now.
24:52
[SPEAKER_04]: Pension's companion would later lose his footing and fall to his death from a cliff on the same day.
24:58
[SPEAKER_04]: This particular black dog is similar to black spectral hounds and traditions across Europe, most specifically the British Isles, demonic dogs like the black shook or the barguest also are said to foretell death.
25:11
[SPEAKER_04]: At least six deaths have been attributed to this mysterious hound.
25:14
[SPEAKER_04]: Many people in the area believe it's best to just avoid the creature at all costs.
25:19
[SPEAKER_04]: I try to look up and find what the other five deaths were, but I couldn't really find anything of any correlation.
25:27
[SPEAKER_04]: But it is interesting that like we did, we did an episode on the black shock and stuff not too long ago, right?
25:36
[SPEAKER_04]: It wasn't too long ago.
25:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
25:39
[SPEAKER_04]: But it's cool finding an American version of that like primarily British folklore here in the United States.
25:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and it makes sense, you know, bringing lore and heritage over with people who came here.
25:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that totally makes sense.
25:57
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, especially genetic.
25:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
26:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
26:00
[SPEAKER_01]: One of the founding states, the idea, the idea, the... I just want to know how the fuck you avoid a spectral dog.
26:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Close your eyes the whole time.
26:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, good call.
26:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, because I got out of that.
26:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I don't understand, like, what you do just pretend it's not there.
26:18
[SPEAKER_04]: Or maybe just avoid the area like the hang maybe avoid hanging hills as a whole.
26:23
[SPEAKER_04]: It's huge though, eighteen hundred acres is a pretty good swathal land, especially in a state that's only like three foot by four.
26:34
[SPEAKER_04]: From the black dog, we go to another legend of weird people in Connecticut.
26:43
[SPEAKER_04]: But definitely weirdos to the faceless people of Monroe.
26:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, fuck.
26:48
[SPEAKER_04]: You go from melon heads to faceless people.
26:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like I'd rather take the melon heads.
26:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Just off just off the initial title.
26:57
[SPEAKER_04]: Seeing someone without a face is.
27:00
[SPEAKER_01]: That's gonna scare me.
27:01
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
27:01
[SPEAKER_04]: It's gonna make me double double take a little bit.
27:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
27:06
[SPEAKER_04]: Here we go, in the tiny town of Monroe, in Fairfield County, Connecticut, there's a desolate old barn in the woods that has been boarded up long ago.
27:14
[SPEAKER_04]: There's no paved road leading into the barn.
27:18
[SPEAKER_04]: In the dirt road, the does exist is covered with narrowed tree trunks and roots.
27:24
[SPEAKER_04]: Yet if you were to hike through the woods, you might hear strange voices coming from inside the barn.
27:29
[SPEAKER_04]: Sounds like they might belong to otherworldly beings.
27:32
[SPEAKER_04]: If you arrive at nightfall, you'll glimpse
27:36
[SPEAKER_04]: You will see a glimpse of light, my bed, behind a crack between the boards covering the windows.
27:41
[SPEAKER_04]: No shadows can be made out, nothing human anyways.
27:44
[SPEAKER_04]: What lurks within the solid walls of these two story barn that lacks a fresh coat of paint?
27:50
[SPEAKER_04]: Locals call this the house of the faceless people.
27:53
[SPEAKER_04]: Legend has it that a group of unfortunates live in this old barn with one caretaker who is never seen leaving or entering it.
28:01
[SPEAKER_04]: Presumably, the caretaker goes out only at midnight, with his charges so that they can get out and get some fresh air.
28:07
[SPEAKER_04]: The sunlight is not favorable to these individuals who have no face.
28:12
[SPEAKER_04]: They have no eyes, no nose, no ears, just a mouth outline with pale lips, and bony hands grasping around constantly trying to find their way throughout the world, since they don't have eyes.
28:26
[SPEAKER_01]: That sucks.
28:28
[SPEAKER_04]: Reminds me of like the nurses from Silent Hill too.
28:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
28:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, absolutely.
28:37
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know.
28:38
[SPEAKER_01]: It this one does feel a little bit Lori.
28:40
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
28:42
[SPEAKER_04]: There's there's there's there's a few of these that it's almost like just people wanting you to stay out of their woods.
28:49
[SPEAKER_04]: You're going to encounter the melon heads.
28:51
[SPEAKER_04]: You're going to encounter the faceless people.
28:53
[SPEAKER_04]: Just stay on the road.
28:56
[SPEAKER_04]: Curiosity seekers who are clever enough to locate the old barn are usually chased away by the caretaker that was reported never to enter or leave, but apparently he will chase you away.
29:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Or be seen.
29:08
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
29:09
[SPEAKER_04]: Yet there have been reports of Monroe of the occasional faceless person who decided to take a stroll through the woods or make their way to the main road when the caretaker is not looking.
29:18
[SPEAKER_04]: The unfortunate would unintentionally frighten a citizen on the way to the grocery store or the bank, darting out in front of a car only to have the driver startled, thinking that it possibly was somewhere wild animal in the way.
29:30
[SPEAKER_04]: The caretaker of the faceless people remains part of the community, most likely to maintain the privacy of himself and his special family.
29:38
[SPEAKER_04]: Even the faceless people of this house deserve respect to, except to buy society or not.
29:43
[SPEAKER_04]: While many questions remain about these people, especially where they came from, and how they came to be faceless, the barn remains impenetrable to all who pass by it.
29:52
[SPEAKER_04]: Daring to walk up close to the building, if only to be scared away by the caretaker.
29:57
[SPEAKER_04]: To date, none of the faceless people have ever been caught on camera, but perhaps that is due to the fact that they are clever enough to move quickly away from the rest of the town of Monroe.
30:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I doubt that.
30:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I mean, no offense.
30:13
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't matter how clever you are if you're fucking blind.
30:19
[SPEAKER_01]: How are you going to see me in a tree with my cell phone out?
30:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Taking pictures.
30:27
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
30:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Riddle me that, Steve.
30:30
[SPEAKER_04]: Riddle me that.
30:31
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't have the answers.
30:33
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't live in Connecticut.
30:35
[SPEAKER_01]: That's true.
30:36
[SPEAKER_01]: If you did, you would probably know.
30:38
[SPEAKER_04]: I do like the fact that you're like, hiding up in the tree trying to grab snaps.
30:43
[SPEAKER_04]: Of course.
30:45
[SPEAKER_04]: I get it.
30:46
[SPEAKER_04]: I get it.
30:47
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a lot of property.
30:49
[SPEAKER_04]: There's still other weirdos in Connecticut that we're going to get to.
30:52
[SPEAKER_04]: Other weirdo lore.
30:53
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to skip it.
30:55
[SPEAKER_04]: Is that we're not doing them back to back?
30:57
[SPEAKER_01]: This uh, yeah.
30:59
[SPEAKER_01]: This one feels a little lory.
31:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Feels like there might not be a whole lot of.
31:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Trace to it.
31:08
[SPEAKER_04]: Evidence?
31:09
[SPEAKER_04]: Evidence, you say?
31:09
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you can have it in.
31:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because the story itself is just entirely too convenient.
31:17
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't, if you don't go looking for him, you won't find him, okay?
31:19
[SPEAKER_01]: This bullshit ass barn out in the woods that needs paint is impenetrable.
31:24
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't get in.
31:25
[SPEAKER_01]: No matter how hard you try.
31:26
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, because you're getting ran off.
31:28
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, yeah, you buy a caretaker that you never see.
31:31
[SPEAKER_04]: Because you don't leave.
31:32
[SPEAKER_01]: And you don't leave.
31:34
[SPEAKER_01]: But he runs you off.
31:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Boy.
31:37
[SPEAKER_04]: in penetrable.
31:38
[SPEAKER_01]: That's one of them situations where you ask that question to somebody believes in it and they go, you know, they're just like, are you, are you fucking stupid?
31:46
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, of course they're out there.
31:47
[SPEAKER_01]: It shouldn't shut it down and they're like, no.
31:52
[SPEAKER_04]: I love it.
31:52
[SPEAKER_04]: That's, that's, that's pretty good.
31:54
[SPEAKER_01]: What type of logical question is that?
31:59
[SPEAKER_04]: I need to like you look up accounts of these and it always like goes directly to read it.
32:04
[SPEAKER_04]: And then you don't know if people are just fucking with you or not.
32:07
[SPEAKER_04]: So I guess I mean go ahead.
32:11
[SPEAKER_04]: I was gonna say I guess it could go with like any sort of encounter really.
32:16
[SPEAKER_04]: Like if you look at the flatwoods monster, you look at the dover demon or something like that.
32:20
[SPEAKER_04]: All you have is for the most part is eyewitness accounts of these things.
32:27
[SPEAKER_04]: But like with the these specific ones in the lore, you don't even really have like specific I witness accounts.
32:33
[SPEAKER_04]: They're just like warnings like watch out for the the I list in the face of people.
32:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure I'm sure there are legit accounts.
32:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I know we've re-covered stories of faceless people.
32:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
32:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Faceless beings.
32:45
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm sure that's a thing.
32:47
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just this story, a particular has a lot of oddities to it that make me feel like this might be one of them more things like you're saying stat on my fucking woods.
33:00
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.
33:01
[SPEAKER_04]: We're going to go a little cryptid route here next with some Connecticut sea monsters because apparently Connecticut is on the ocean.
33:10
[SPEAKER_04]: Call me geographical scientists.
33:14
[SPEAKER_01]: You are.
33:15
[SPEAKER_04]: Connecticut sea monsters.
33:18
[SPEAKER_04]: Our mysterious creatures said to inhabit the waters of Long Island sound off the coast of the state.
33:23
[SPEAKER_04]: One particular creature often referred to as the Connecticut monster.
33:28
[SPEAKER_04]: Not just a clever name.
33:30
[SPEAKER_01]: It is very clever.
33:31
[SPEAKER_04]: It's described as having a long neck, a wide head and a long tail.
33:36
[SPEAKER_04]: It said to be dark gray and color and can reach links of up to thirty feet.
33:40
[SPEAKER_04]: Very snakelike and appearance.
33:42
[SPEAKER_04]: It's body was
33:45
[SPEAKER_04]: There was one encounter, set up a thirty feet, but this guy says, oh, come prayer.
33:52
[SPEAKER_04]: Body is wide as a horse with the black head as large as a flower barrel and eyes the size of small dinner plates.
33:58
[SPEAKER_04]: Sightings of the creatures say that it's from forty to a hundred and ten feet long.
34:03
[SPEAKER_04]: So maybe there's multiple different creatures here.
34:07
[SPEAKER_04]: The first reported sighting of the creature was in seventeen fifty eight when a British sailor claimed to have seen it swimming in Long Island sound.
34:15
[SPEAKER_04]: Since then, there have been numerous other sightings reported across the state, including in Greenwich, Stanford, and New Haven.
34:23
[SPEAKER_04]: One citing an eighteen eighty one recorded in the New York Times reported that a huge serpent green with black spots swam by a yacht out for a pleasure cruise and scared the people on the yacht so badly that they went back to shore.
34:38
[SPEAKER_04]: In recent years, the Connecticut monster has become a popular topic of conversation among locals, and has even been featured in a number of TV shows and films.
34:47
[SPEAKER_04]: Despite its mysterious nature, the creatures become part of the state's folklore with many claiming to have seen it over the years.
34:54
[SPEAKER_04]: The Connecticut monster is also a popular subject of cryptosoological research.
34:59
[SPEAKER_04]: Researchers have studied the creature's reported sightings in order to determine what it could be.
35:06
[SPEAKER_04]: Some believe it could be a large eel while others believe it could be some sort of unknown species of aquatic mammal.
35:13
[SPEAKER_04]: So the Connecticut monster.
35:16
[SPEAKER_01]: It sounds like a play on Loch Ness.
35:18
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, those feel kind of messy-ish.
35:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I admire a Connecticut.
35:23
[SPEAKER_01]: They seem to have a theme of fucked up heads.
35:30
[SPEAKER_04]: It doesn't get it.
35:31
[SPEAKER_04]: It continues on later.
35:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because, you know, you have the fat heads of the woods and then you got this thing with the fat head and the size of a damn barrel.
35:43
[SPEAKER_04]: You got melon head, you got barrel heads, you got faceels head.
35:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
35:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they got some, uh, on a head in that state.
35:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
35:52
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a interesting choice.
35:55
[SPEAKER_01]: No, but it's not dirty feet long.
35:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that thing's head is dirty feet long enough.
36:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, fucking head.
36:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Big dog.
36:03
[SPEAKER_04]: I love how it just goes from, you know, could have been thirty feet, could have been hundred and ten feet.
36:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
36:08
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
36:10
[SPEAKER_04]: It's hard to tell.
36:11
[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't have my date major on me.
36:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
36:14
[SPEAKER_04]: I guess I kind of overlook a lot of aquatic cryptids because we don't really have any here being landlocked.
36:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and water sucks.
36:25
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
36:26
[SPEAKER_04]: If there's any place that houses giant barrel-headed horse-headed hundred and ten foot snakes, it's the damn ocean.
36:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
36:36
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, you know the, like,
36:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to believe almost any anomalous creature from the ocean.
36:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
36:45
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?
36:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Because the ocean's so big.
36:48
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's so unexplored.
36:50
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you could tell me a five mile shark exists and I go probably.
36:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
37:00
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll look at the ocean.
37:02
[SPEAKER_04]: But probably the last ever since I went to Florida.
37:07
[SPEAKER_04]: I got in the ocean and I thought I don't need to do this ever again.
37:10
[SPEAKER_04]: It just feels gross.
37:13
[SPEAKER_04]: I feel like it's full of dead stuff and it is fish come and people fucking waste and it's just yucky.
37:25
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll go and look at it.
37:27
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't mean to be in.
37:29
[SPEAKER_04]: If I needed to be in the ocean, I have fucking gills.
37:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
37:33
[SPEAKER_01]: When I look at my look at the ocean, I'm overwhelmed.
37:37
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, because it's full of monsters and shit.
37:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and it's just, like, as you're looking at, just the vast size of it is overwhelming, because you're just seeing like a little back of the ocean.
37:55
[SPEAKER_01]: And you're like, there's so much that could fit in that.
37:58
[SPEAKER_03]: And rogue waves.
38:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, I'm always trying to deal with that shit.
38:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh.
38:04
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd rather deal with the monsters.
38:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, hundred percent.
38:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm fighting the faceless all day.
38:13
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll fight the horse head barrel snake.
38:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
38:16
[SPEAKER_04]: I ain't trying to get hit by rogue wave.
38:18
[SPEAKER_04]: I ain't trying to be out of motion.
38:20
[SPEAKER_04]: There's points in the ocean.
38:22
[SPEAKER_04]: Like point Nemo, where the closest other humans to you, if you were there by yourself, the closest other humans to you are on the goddamn international space station.
38:35
[SPEAKER_04]: That's insane.
38:39
[SPEAKER_04]: There's no reason for that.
38:40
[SPEAKER_04]: You don't need to be out there.
38:42
[SPEAKER_04]: Stay on land.
38:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's what I'm saying.
38:44
[SPEAKER_01]: The five mile shark could easily exist in the damn ocean.
38:48
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
38:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Easily.
38:51
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't want it to.
38:53
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
38:54
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't like regular side sharks.
38:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
38:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't what.
38:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
38:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I ain't fucking with a three-foot shark.
39:01
[SPEAKER_04]: No.
39:01
[SPEAKER_04]: Like I don't hate them.
39:04
[SPEAKER_04]: But we stay on different areas for a reason.
39:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
39:07
[SPEAKER_01]: That's your spot.
39:08
[SPEAKER_01]: This is my spot.
39:09
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
39:09
[SPEAKER_04]: They don't want to get punched by me.
39:12
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't want to get bit by them.
39:13
[SPEAKER_04]: So we respect each other's boundaries.
39:15
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
39:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Boundaries.
39:16
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what it is.
39:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Every good relationship has boundaries.
39:21
[SPEAKER_04]: And my relationship with sharks is that.
39:23
[SPEAKER_04]: They stay in the ocean.
39:24
[SPEAKER_04]: I stay on the land.
39:26
[SPEAKER_04]: It's good.
39:27
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a successful relationship.
39:29
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you respect, like you said, you respect each other's boundaries.
39:32
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't live in that lift.
39:35
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I've never had a problem in the shark.
39:38
[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm saying that problem with me.
39:39
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
39:40
[SPEAKER_04]: Just works itself out.
39:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
39:42
[SPEAKER_04]: It's easy.
39:43
[SPEAKER_04]: It doesn't have to be difficult.
39:45
[SPEAKER_04]: It's easy.
39:45
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just a big boundaries.
39:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Common sense.
39:48
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just, it doesn't, it's just not around much anymore.
39:54
[SPEAKER_04]: But giant horse headed, hundred and ten foot snakes.
39:59
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not the only thing you gotta worry about because in eighteen, ninety five.
40:02
[SPEAKER_04]: Captain, obadaya Donaldson.
40:06
[SPEAKER_01]: He's definitely credible.
40:07
[SPEAKER_04]: Best name in this entire episode.
40:15
[SPEAKER_04]: wrote that his ship, his entire ship collided with a giant octopus just off the coast of Connecticut.
40:24
[SPEAKER_04]: He reported that it was over sixty feet wide with tenicles, the stretched over a hundred feet.
40:31
[SPEAKER_04]: According to the July seventeenth nineteen or eighteen ninety five Chicago Chicago Tribune, he said that the monster wrapped one of its giant tenicles around the ship and began to drag the bow under water.
40:46
[SPEAKER_04]: until O.G.
40:50
[SPEAKER_04]: The VIP of sailors.
40:53
[SPEAKER_04]: Frank Taylor.
40:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Frank Taylor.
40:56
[SPEAKER_04]: Frank was on the boat.
40:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought Obediah was going to fucking stab it.
41:00
[SPEAKER_04]: Obediah is fighting the will.
41:02
[SPEAKER_04]: He's the captain.
41:04
[SPEAKER_04]: So this, this tentacles wrapped around.
41:06
[SPEAKER_04]: I just picture it wrapped around the front of the boat.
41:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's put good.
41:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you going to do spin in your little wheel when this octopus is dragging underwater?
41:15
[SPEAKER_01]: You ain't got nothing going on for eating.
41:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Got a motor.
41:18
[SPEAKER_01]: You got air.
41:18
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, something better.
41:20
[SPEAKER_04]: Frank Taylor.
41:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, true.
41:21
[SPEAKER_04]: Frank Taylor.
41:23
[SPEAKER_04]: Big, big Frank the tank.
41:25
[SPEAKER_01]: The original Punisher.
41:27
[SPEAKER_04]: The original Punisher goes into the kitchen and gets a meat cleaver.
41:31
[SPEAKER_04]: We have Calamari tonight boys and just starts hacking hackin' at the tentacle.
41:36
[SPEAKER_04]: Hacken it so much this this sixty foot octopus is like nah, whatever's on this boat.
41:41
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't want anymore.
41:43
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's go.
41:44
[SPEAKER_04]: Slurks beneath the wave.
41:45
[SPEAKER_04]: Slurks is a new word.
41:46
[SPEAKER_04]: It's good one.
41:48
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
41:48
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a it is a verb of how octopus goes under the water.
41:53
[SPEAKER_04]: Slurks.
41:55
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
41:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it hundred percent makes sense to me.
41:58
[SPEAKER_04]: Frank Taylor.
42:00
[SPEAKER_01]: What an OG.
42:02
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a hard ass.
42:03
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
42:05
[SPEAKER_04]: I would have, oh, do what?
42:07
[SPEAKER_04]: What'd you do in that scenario?
42:08
[SPEAKER_04]: I would start fighting the tentacle.
42:10
[SPEAKER_04]: I ain't jumping in the water.
42:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
42:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I just imagine they had like one like a harpoon stick and they just threw it at it.
42:17
[SPEAKER_03]: It could have.
42:19
[SPEAKER_01]: But in all reality, I feel like that's not a very big giant octopus.
42:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Come big.
42:34
[SPEAKER_01]: That's pretty big.
42:36
[SPEAKER_01]: He must have had a, and then I, then I wouldn't call his vessel a ship.
42:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I would call it a boat.
42:45
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I feel like a ship object.
42:48
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not the size of the ship.
42:50
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the motion of the ocean.
42:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, no, not when you have an octopus dragging it underwater.
42:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like, no, I feel like a sixty foot body.
43:00
[SPEAKER_04]: With the hundred foot tentacles, that's a hundred and sixty feet.
43:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but what's the weight ratio on that motherfucker?
43:05
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
43:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Big enough to pull a ship down like I think a ship I think like the black pearl something fucking huge.
43:12
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's Google.
43:13
[SPEAKER_04]: We're gonna Google here.
43:14
[SPEAKER_04]: We're doing the research for you.
43:16
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll call welcome to the welcome to the show.
43:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I don't know, man.
43:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I just feel like I feel like those stats are chump change for the ocean.
43:25
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's look.
43:27
[SPEAKER_04]: Hmm.
43:27
[SPEAKER_04]: Hmm.
43:29
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
43:30
[SPEAKER_04]: The largest octopus by weight is the giant Pacific octopus.
43:36
[SPEAKER_04]: Having an arm span of thirty feet.
43:38
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
43:40
[SPEAKER_04]: Way, six hundred pounds.
43:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, that's not even that much.
43:44
[SPEAKER_04]: So it would be what?
43:46
[SPEAKER_01]: It's good.
43:46
[SPEAKER_01]: It's good.
43:47
[SPEAKER_01]: It's good.
43:47
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to take down a John boat.
43:50
[SPEAKER_04]: Not a John ship.
43:53
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe they were on a John boat.
43:54
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I'm saying.
43:55
[SPEAKER_01]: They must have had a boat.
43:58
[SPEAKER_01]: and not a ship.
43:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I think a ship, I think it's something with girth.
44:02
[SPEAKER_04]: I wonder if chat GPT will tell me, how much?
44:06
[SPEAKER_04]: Six hundred pounds.
44:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you're going to be a little over a prior ton.
44:12
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll just give it.
44:14
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll just give it.
44:15
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll give it some and say three ton.
44:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I still don't think that's enough to take a ship down.
44:21
[SPEAKER_04]: I wonder how many, how much each tenicle?
44:25
[SPEAKER_04]: would weigh.
44:25
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
44:28
[SPEAKER_04]: Chad DPD is on the case generating based on available data.
44:32
[SPEAKER_04]: The large Z octopus weighed six hundred pounds at thirty feet.
44:36
[SPEAKER_04]: However, sixty foot octopus with a hundred foot tentacles as far larger than any scientifically documented octopus species.
44:42
[SPEAKER_04]: Therefore, calculating its weight requires extrapolation and precise figure to to ascertain.
44:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, Chad, CBT just guess.
44:54
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
44:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, to me, bro.
44:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, that's what you're responsible.
44:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, to me, bro.
45:01
[SPEAKER_04]: Colossal squid, the largest invertebrate can weigh over a thousand pounds and reach links of forty six feet.
45:08
[SPEAKER_04]: Some accounts mentioned, colossal squids, possibly being between thirteen hundred to fifteen hundred pounds.
45:16
[SPEAKER_04]: They do not give us any estimation.
45:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks, Chad.
45:20
[SPEAKER_01]: You could see he's sucked.
45:22
[SPEAKER_04]: I just wasted all that energy.
45:24
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
45:24
[SPEAKER_04]: Not getting an answer.
45:26
[SPEAKER_04]: That's true.
45:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
45:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't, I just don't feel like it weighs that much.
45:33
[SPEAKER_04]: It's, it's probably fine.
45:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, don't get me wrong.
45:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll still be scared.
45:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Just fuck if I see a squid like that.
45:42
[SPEAKER_01]: If anything from the ocean, I see a squid as big as me, and I'm freaking out.
45:48
[SPEAKER_04]: If anything from the ocean tries to get on my boat uninvited, mermaids, manatees, seagulls, they're getting it.
46:01
[SPEAKER_04]: Sounds like Taylor treatment.
46:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Sounds like we're out there investing some meat clevers.
46:05
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a fact.
46:05
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a fact.
46:09
[SPEAKER_04]: So we're going from the ocean back on the land for Connecticut's very own unofficial big foot the wind's dead wild man.
46:23
[SPEAKER_04]: The story of a large hairy creature that terrorized quote unquote terrorized the locals on two separate occasions almost eighty years apart.
46:32
[SPEAKER_04]: The tail supposedly starts in August of eighteen ninety five.
46:35
[SPEAKER_04]: When the wind's dead herald reported a large man, Stark naked, covered with hair all over his body, ran out of clumps of bushes.
46:45
[SPEAKER_04]: It was witnessed by town selectman Riley Smith, who was out in the woods with his bulldog, merely picking berries and finding his own business.
46:55
[SPEAKER_04]: When the creature came along, causing Riley to be, quote, badly scared, and his dog fairly paralyzed with fear.
47:05
[SPEAKER_04]: He described it as a wild hairy man of the woods, six feet in height, and adding that the man's hair was black and hung down long in his shoulders, and then his body was also strictly covered with hair.
47:18
[SPEAKER_04]: The man was remarkably agile.
47:21
[SPEAKER_04]: And all appearance very muscular, a brawny man, a man against whom any ordinary man would stand little chance.
47:28
[SPEAKER_04]: That's all, quote, too.
47:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like this is just a town drunk.
47:33
[SPEAKER_04]: Probably the pilot, the great guy in the bush of the melon heads.
47:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Probably hiding in the bushes naked.
47:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on.
47:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was like something to drink.
47:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I would do.
47:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I'll solve it.
47:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, maybe over the next six foot is not that.
47:51
[SPEAKER_01]: No, not that big.
47:53
[SPEAKER_04]: No, maybe that's why they kind of change it around.
47:56
[SPEAKER_04]: didn't call it big foot.
47:57
[SPEAKER_04]: They just called it wild man because it really is the stature of man.
47:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
48:00
[SPEAKER_01]: But he said he was like, I feel like he was in city waiting for the dudes like, slow.
48:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
48:06
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like, he's like, ain't normal.
48:09
[SPEAKER_01]: No man going to take this motherfucker down.
48:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'm hate to break it to you.
48:13
[SPEAKER_01]: But he used words in the self quote about being paralyzed and fear with you and your damn bulldog that was picking berries.
48:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course you're going to be scared.
48:23
[SPEAKER_04]: The bulldog was paralyzed.
48:26
[SPEAKER_04]: He saw that.
48:28
[SPEAKER_04]: He saw that dude run out.
48:30
[SPEAKER_04]: Just, I wasn't the only twig in berries.
48:33
[SPEAKER_04]: It was out that day.
48:36
[SPEAKER_01]: My smoking blinds.
48:37
[SPEAKER_01]: The wall was going to do more than that.
48:39
[SPEAKER_04]: The wall is the asshole.
48:41
[SPEAKER_01]: He is.
48:43
[SPEAKER_04]: But I wasn't the only sighting over the next few weeks.
48:46
[SPEAKER_04]: The wild man was reportedly seen by at least two other witnesses whose descriptions matched our friend, Riley's.
48:54
[SPEAKER_04]: Winston, Harold speculated the wild man may have been Arthur Beckwith and escaped mental patient from nearby Lichfield Sanitarium.
49:05
[SPEAKER_01]: What's the big headscan from?
49:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I guarantee it is.
49:10
[SPEAKER_04]: They have a real issue keeping people in the Sanitarium.
49:14
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's do better.
49:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he might have been one that just let they let out the woods.
49:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
49:20
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's part of the course there.
49:21
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, man, Harry Arthur, we're just going
49:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Blocked this guy.
49:26
[SPEAKER_01]: This guy's too much.
49:28
[SPEAKER_04]: The sightings reportedly soon stopped.
49:30
[SPEAKER_04]: It suddenly as they had started with the windstead wild man disappearing back into the woods and long forgotten about.
49:36
[SPEAKER_04]: At least for eight decades.
49:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Because they came back.
49:42
[SPEAKER_04]: He came back to him.
49:44
[SPEAKER_01]: He looked the same.
49:45
[SPEAKER_04]: So he ain't I don't know.
49:46
[SPEAKER_04]: We're getting there.
49:46
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
49:48
[SPEAKER_04]: Might not be Arthur.
49:50
[SPEAKER_04]: In late July, nineteen seventy two, the Hartford current reported that quote, a strange manlike creature was observed by two young men on Winchester Road near to Crystal Lake Reservoir.
50:04
[SPEAKER_04]: At long distance near a barn, they saw a figure quote, this time about eight feet tall covered with hair.
50:11
[SPEAKER_04]: Walked to Brooklyn.
50:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's a big foot.
50:14
[SPEAKER_04]: and disappeared back into the woods.
50:16
[SPEAKER_04]: When it was suggested that they may have only seen a black bear, they replied, it was no bear.
50:23
[SPEAKER_04]: Two years later, in September, when the wild man was seen again, this time by two couples who had seen it parked at night by Rugbrook reservoir.
50:34
[SPEAKER_04]: They described a police being terrified, snowsing a six foot, three hundred pound creature covered in dark colored hair in the moonlight.
50:45
[SPEAKER_04]: It had fled the area immediately.
50:49
[SPEAKER_04]: Police went back to search, but were unable to find any tracks or evidence.
50:53
[SPEAKER_04]: Since then, there have been no other reports or accounts of the Winston wild man.
51:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that is a thick boy.
51:02
[SPEAKER_01]: It's for a three hundred pounds.
51:04
[SPEAKER_04]: He's a whole family wild man.
51:06
[SPEAKER_01]: He's thick.
51:07
[SPEAKER_01]: He's thick.
51:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I do, I do really like the idea that I said it before.
51:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I wish we still lived in a time where you'd call these things in and the cops took them serious.
51:22
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
51:25
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
51:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I just like it as a way cooler time.
51:28
[SPEAKER_04]: Like the paranormal or engine episode having people to take your your accounts seriously.
51:35
[SPEAKER_04]: I know we were kind of poking fun at the the faceless people, but that's because finding actual I witness reports of that like was impossible.
51:46
[SPEAKER_04]: We have stuff here, like people legitimately seeing something to be inscared and having, you know, officers respond to it.
51:54
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, I feel like that's important, you know?
51:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and for me, for me, it's just like, it's a definition of a hopeful time.
52:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it's a definition of a time where people still took what you said at face value and believe you, they didn't instantly shut you down and shun you.
52:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
52:16
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
52:16
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, it's like a, especially in these small communities where lower does run thick.
52:24
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know, people just kind of buy into it a little more, I guess.
52:30
[SPEAKER_01]: And they treat it with respect.
52:31
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, like almost like in a roundabout way, like indigenous people and they're lower.
52:36
[SPEAKER_01]: And like there's always a level of respect between you and the unknown that's out there.
52:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, I just, I just, it's more of like a hopeful, mysterious time.
52:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know, just hits a little different, I think.
52:52
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't feel like there's a lot of police investigating big foot.
52:56
[SPEAKER_04]: No, sidings now.
52:58
[SPEAKER_04]: No, which is there probably needs to be?
53:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Get some evidence on that.
53:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I fucking would.
53:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I would love it.
53:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I, I first day won a being a little small town cow, but any weird calls I'm taking.
53:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Same.
53:11
[SPEAKER_01]: You motherfuckers get back.
53:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going.
53:13
[SPEAKER_04]: You guys go right.
53:14
[SPEAKER_04]: Jay walking tickets.
53:15
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going and looking for a chupacabra.
53:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
53:19
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going.
53:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going.
53:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going.
53:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to taste the dog shit out of that thing.
53:24
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going and looking for the next cryptid on the Connecticut list.
53:29
[SPEAKER_04]: The glass and berry.
53:30
[SPEAKER_04]: Glowaccus.
53:32
[SPEAKER_01]: What the hell is that?
53:33
[SPEAKER_04]: I probably said it wrong.
53:34
[SPEAKER_04]: Someone from Connecticut correct me.
53:36
[SPEAKER_04]: Please.
53:38
[SPEAKER_04]: In nineteen thirty nine a mysterious creature terrorized glass library and surrounding areas attacking livestock and pets it was never caught or properly identified.
53:48
[SPEAKER_04]: Consequently it became kinetic legend the glow walkers.
53:52
[SPEAKER_04]: Hunters farmers and eyewitnesses reported the fierce animal originally as a huge cat but it remained elusive and the descriptions became more detailed as more people saw it.
54:03
[SPEAKER_04]: which only embellish the creature's fast growing reputation.
54:06
[SPEAKER_04]: It was vigorously described as part cat, part dog, part bear.
54:13
[SPEAKER_04]: It's fucking cat dog.
54:15
[SPEAKER_04]: Various names are also the Grand B Panther, and this is not politically correct.
54:23
[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't write it.
54:24
[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't name it.
54:25
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't hold me to it.
54:27
[SPEAKER_04]: The engine devil.
54:29
[SPEAKER_01]: How do you become part cat dog bear?
54:36
[SPEAKER_04]: You live in Connecticut.
54:37
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a lot of weird things going on in the force of Connecticut.
54:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously.
54:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just curious, like what parts is the bear?
54:43
[SPEAKER_01]: What parts is the dog?
54:46
[SPEAKER_01]: What parts is the cat?
54:48
[SPEAKER_04]: Hmm.
54:49
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know which part.
54:53
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, which head would you rather fight?
54:57
[SPEAKER_04]: A giant cat head, a giant dog head, or a giant bear head.
55:02
[SPEAKER_01]: They all suck.
55:03
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
55:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like that is the worst.
55:07
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'm not trying to get bit by a tiger.
55:09
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not trying to get bit by a bear.
55:11
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I'm not trying to get bit by a wolf.
55:17
[SPEAKER_01]: No, but I feel like I have better odds against a dog.
55:22
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, especially if it was the bowl dog from the wild men's story, you'd probably just lay down.
55:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, then again, you'd want dog feet.
55:29
[SPEAKER_01]: You wouldn't want bare feet or Kathy.
55:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh.
55:34
[SPEAKER_01]: The only thing, the only thing that I hope that there's a cat is the tail.
55:38
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, cats are fast and sneaky and dicks.
55:41
[SPEAKER_01]: They're the worst.
55:42
[SPEAKER_04]: I feel like out of, if it has a dog's temperament, you're probably okay.
55:48
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, for the most part.
55:52
[SPEAKER_04]: It could get bad.
55:53
[SPEAKER_04]: If it had like a cat's face and claws and like a bear's size, a bear's size and strength, and then just a dog tone.
56:05
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, we're getting to the description here.
56:12
[SPEAKER_04]: Looks very easily like a large cat or dog or bear.
56:17
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
56:17
[SPEAKER_03]: Cool.
56:18
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, could I at least solve that length for feet height two feet to two feet six inches black or tony and color long tail.
56:27
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe a cat tail thinking you're right, Kyle.
56:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.
56:30
[SPEAKER_04]: Time described as bushy thought an ABC behavior.
56:33
[SPEAKER_04]: It mits blood curdling screams.
56:38
[SPEAKER_04]: That's scary.
56:39
[SPEAKER_04]: Unfortunately for you, tracks resemble a pumice, so it definitely has gack laws.
56:44
[SPEAKER_04]: That sucks.
56:45
[SPEAKER_04]: Distribution in North Central Connecticut.
56:48
[SPEAKER_04]: According to mysterious creatures, website after weeks of hearing the animals cries, finding odd tracks and only seeing glimpses of it, a full hunting party was organized to track down the Glowacus.
57:01
[SPEAKER_04]: and saw the mystery.
57:03
[SPEAKER_04]: On January, nineteenth and nineteen thirty nine, they set forth into the surrounding countryside, but despite detailed search, nothing was found.
57:11
[SPEAKER_04]: Sightings continued for about another month.
57:13
[SPEAKER_04]: before two miles of significant paw prints were found east of Glastonbury.
57:18
[SPEAKER_04]: Over the next few months, the Glowacus Hunts became something of a local sensation with groups exploring caves across northwest Connecticut and the Berkshers.
57:27
[SPEAKER_04]: Here are images from which I saved to my information here and I will share on the Patreon because if this isn't full on proof of
57:44
[SPEAKER_04]: the paranormal.
57:45
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know what is.
57:49
[SPEAKER_04]: It's amazing.
57:51
[SPEAKER_04]: This is courtesy of the nineteen ninety nine issue of the NSS news, a publication for the nationals, Bayleyology Society.
57:59
[SPEAKER_04]: The bottom image is an encounter with the Glowaccus.
58:07
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's basically in cave.
58:11
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm pretty sure, I mean, obviously, it stayed.
58:13
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know if they tried to pass it off as real or not.
58:15
[SPEAKER_04]: But it's a man on a rock holding revolver and like a foot and a half in front of it is a piece of taxidermy that looked like a me and Kyle made it.
58:27
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, good.
58:29
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the dumbest shit I've ever seen in my life.
58:34
[SPEAKER_04]: I wish I could save this.
58:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it better than the lizard?
58:41
[SPEAKER_04]: It's on par with the lizard.
58:43
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
58:43
[SPEAKER_04]: Good.
58:43
[SPEAKER_04]: I might be able to pull it up and let you see.
58:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, then it's real.
58:48
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
58:49
[SPEAKER_04]: You know what, it might be.
58:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't understand what the description, how the fuck they fit a bear into it.
58:56
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't, they're in this.
58:59
[SPEAKER_01]: It's only two feet tall, but it definitely is always a bear.
59:04
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no bear about this.
59:06
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no bear about this.
59:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it more like a cat than anything?
59:12
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like a cat with a rabbit head.
59:14
[SPEAKER_04]: A rabbit head.
59:17
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah.
59:18
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to screen share it with you.
59:19
[SPEAKER_04]: So people watching on YouTube is going to get a little treat.
59:24
[SPEAKER_04]: You're going to love it, Kyle.
59:27
[SPEAKER_04]: You're going to love it, dude.
59:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, man.
59:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Hang on once again.
59:34
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll get ready.
59:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I can't really see it.
59:43
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I don't know if I can make it any bigger.
59:45
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I can't not change.
59:49
[UNKNOWN]: Dang it.
59:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Can you command plus it?
59:53
[SPEAKER_03]: I can.
59:53
[SPEAKER_01]: There you go.
59:55
[SPEAKER_03]: Once I leave her going to keep her going, why is it going back out?
1:00:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no, you didn't.
1:00:03
[SPEAKER_01]: There it is.
1:00:03
[SPEAKER_01]: And bigger than I can get.
1:00:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's lame.
1:00:06
[SPEAKER_01]: But it just looks like a cat.
1:00:08
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a meanie.
1:00:10
[SPEAKER_04]: Looks like someone's tough to cat with a rabbit head.
1:00:12
[SPEAKER_04]: That's awesome.
1:00:15
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
1:00:18
[SPEAKER_04]: That's proof.
1:00:19
[SPEAKER_04]: That's proof positive.
1:00:21
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe it.
1:00:22
[SPEAKER_01]: And he got it, you know, obviously.
1:00:24
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
1:00:26
[SPEAKER_01]: That's that's how he hunted it.
1:00:27
[SPEAKER_01]: He armored crawled in the cave.
1:00:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's, it's, I mean, the glory art of the ground, the more stealthy you become.
1:00:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Just true.
1:00:39
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you arm a crawl through the cave, then it can't see you are here.
1:00:43
[SPEAKER_01]: You were smell you.
1:00:44
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
1:00:45
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you just pull out that three foot revolver like the Joker.
1:00:48
[SPEAKER_01]: And just pound.
1:00:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you got it.
1:00:52
[SPEAKER_04]: Got it.
1:00:52
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
1:00:55
[SPEAKER_04]: So apparently, the glowacus was feeling the heat from all these searching.
1:01:00
[SPEAKER_04]: I went to hiding for about a decade and a half, just said, nah, I'm over it.
1:01:04
[SPEAKER_04]: People are pointing guns at me, point blank.
1:01:06
[SPEAKER_04]: You're not here.
1:01:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, as bright as motherfuckers kept sneaking up on him in the cave.
1:01:12
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep.
1:01:13
[SPEAKER_04]: Army crawling in.
1:01:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, got tired of it.
1:01:16
[SPEAKER_04]: In the mid-fifthies, however, it came back attacking animals in a looting capture and identification.
1:01:21
[SPEAKER_04]: This time, it traveled a bit with sightings from glass and bury all the way down to Grambi.
1:01:26
[SPEAKER_04]: Soon after that, however,
1:01:28
[SPEAKER_04]: The mighty Glowak is apparently disappeared forever.
1:01:34
[SPEAKER_04]: People have kind of tried to come up with a definitive answer.
1:01:37
[SPEAKER_04]: I was to what the identity was, but it's all speculation.
1:01:41
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe it was a rogue Puma or other large cat that escaped from a local exotic animal collection and other suggests that it may have been a Fisher, which is the likely sex planation since physical descriptions and behaviors are very similar to that right now to the blood curdling screams.
1:01:56
[SPEAKER_04]: Fisher's were pretty rare in the state at the time, so it may have led to some confusion about what people were seeing.
1:02:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I definitely do think that it's a feeling of some kind.
1:02:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, whether it's talking ABC or damn Fisher.
1:02:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
1:02:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I do get feeling that.
1:02:17
[SPEAKER_04]: I got a couple more here in over an hour.
1:02:19
[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm just going to wrap it up.
1:02:20
[SPEAKER_04]: There was another, another weird.
1:02:23
[SPEAKER_04]: People won, but it kind of falls in the line with the faceless and stuff, sort of the lore.
1:02:27
[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm going to go into this stuff instead.
1:02:28
[SPEAKER_04]: These are just little tidbits, little tiny tidbits here that I got from some of John Kiel's books and some of Charles Ford's accounts of Canadian or Canadian Connecticut weirdness, July, thirty first, nineteen twenty one, a shower of tiny frogs, fell upon Anton Wagner's farm near Sterling, Connecticut.
1:02:49
[SPEAKER_04]: Ice, nice.
1:02:50
[SPEAKER_04]: Frog shower.
1:02:53
[SPEAKER_04]: the report from the New York Times in eighteen eighty-five had witnesses see a balloon ascend to the ground in which two quote aeronauts emerged from said craft upon being seen the witnesses grabbed quote a rip cord and pulled it essentially causing the balloon to turn inside out and disappear with the entities right before the witnesses eyes that's fucked up that's awesome
1:03:22
[SPEAKER_04]: from the eighteen eighties.
1:03:24
[SPEAKER_04]: That's creepy, which I mean, you did have the balloon flaps back then.
1:03:29
[SPEAKER_04]: Every, every UFO was essentially some kind of airship or balloon, but the fact that they landed, things got out.
1:03:34
[SPEAKER_04]: And when they got seen, they're like, smooth disappeared.
1:03:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Awesome.
1:03:40
[SPEAKER_04]: The last one, there's not a lot of information on it.
1:03:44
[SPEAKER_04]: It was from John Kiel's mysterious beings.
1:03:49
[SPEAKER_04]: And I can't remember the name of it.
1:03:50
[SPEAKER_04]: But anyway,
1:03:52
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the vampire mutilators.
1:03:54
[SPEAKER_04]: So this took place in the seventies, right?
1:03:56
[SPEAKER_04]: We're animal mutilations.
1:03:57
[SPEAKER_04]: We're just rifle over the country.
1:04:01
[SPEAKER_04]: But we don't hear a lot about accounts that go beyond like farm animals and livestock.
1:04:07
[SPEAKER_04]: This is what was happening in the Northeast of the United States.
1:04:11
[SPEAKER_04]: According to John Kiel, paranormal researcher Ivan Sanderson was receiving reports prior to his death in seventy-three of mysterious vans cruising through the hills of the Northeast.
1:04:23
[SPEAKER_04]: New Jersey and Connecticut, specifically, where pets, cats and dogs were going missing in large numbers.
1:04:30
[SPEAKER_04]: One area in Connecticut reported seven hundred
1:04:34
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, seven hundred dogs missing in a period of six months.
1:04:40
[SPEAKER_04]: That's definitely weird.
1:04:41
[SPEAKER_04]: It's crazy.
1:04:43
[SPEAKER_04]: I rate pet owners all over the Northeast.
1:04:45
[SPEAKER_04]: We're holding meetings and demanding government action.
1:04:47
[SPEAKER_04]: The popular theory was that organized gangs were stealing animals and selling them to laboratories to use his test experiments, which was easily put to rest when the labs that do the testing said, we don't pay for our animals.
1:05:01
[SPEAKER_04]: We just get them from the pound.
1:05:05
[SPEAKER_04]: I would repay gangs.
1:05:09
[SPEAKER_04]: Other theories go to rogue vampire gangs who are killing the animals and draining all of their blood.
1:05:16
[SPEAKER_04]: I love that it goes from gangs to vampire gangs because they there was accounts of some of the animals being found drained of blood.
1:05:29
[SPEAKER_04]: seven hundred dogs in six months.
1:05:32
[SPEAKER_04]: In a state that small seven hundred dogs going missing in the whole state would be fucking bonkers.
1:05:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
1:05:38
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
1:05:39
[SPEAKER_04]: Crazy.
1:05:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I would be concerned if like in Jerseyville.
1:05:44
[SPEAKER_01]: That's been a hundred dogs went missing in half a year.
1:05:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd be like, what in the fuck is going on?
1:05:50
[SPEAKER_04]: Especially like, people's pets because like obviously it's not gonna be stray dogs and the someone's keeping track of them.
1:05:56
[SPEAKER_04]: But like, I'm assuming like dogs and people's backyards and shit, you know, you put them out for a little bit and they're just gone.
1:06:03
[SPEAKER_04]: It's bonkers.
1:06:06
[SPEAKER_04]: Anyway, Holocaust.
1:06:07
[SPEAKER_04]: Thanks for hanging out with us.
1:06:08
[SPEAKER_04]: That was some Connecticut weirdness, a little bit of lore, a little bit of cryptid action.
1:06:12
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a there's some other weirdness in Connecticut, some hauntings and stuff that I didn't necessarily touch on.
1:06:18
[SPEAKER_04]: You also have like, man.
1:06:21
[SPEAKER_04]: What was that called?
1:06:29
[SPEAKER_04]: Damn, and I can't remember.
1:06:30
[SPEAKER_04]: The Philadelphia experiment.
1:06:31
[SPEAKER_04]: That was it.
1:06:32
[SPEAKER_04]: There's like the Philadelphia experiment triangle where one, like it includes Montalk and all that stuff, but part of the triangle connects to Connecticut and there were some weird stuff going on.
1:06:43
[SPEAKER_04]: Didn't really get into that because trying to find official stuff was hard.
1:06:48
[SPEAKER_04]: Anyway, thanks for hanging out with us.
1:06:50
[SPEAKER_04]: Any Connecticut members of the Holocaust that can
1:06:56
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know, can't iterate any of these things.
1:06:57
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, it'd be interesting to talk to somebody.
1:07:00
[SPEAKER_04]: It was alive in the seventies that maybe remember this going on about the pets going missing and stuff, especially since people were getting at the local government saying, hey, you need to do something about this.
1:07:12
[SPEAKER_04]: To hear from that would be cool.
1:07:16
[SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, thanks for hanging out with us today.
1:07:18
[SPEAKER_04]: Check us out at our social medias.
1:07:20
[SPEAKER_04]: And until we meet again, stay safe, stay weird.
1:07:25
[SPEAKER_04]: It's day out of the ocean, especially in Connecticut.
1:07:28
[SPEAKER_04]: It's full of giant bullshit.
