0:32
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get into today's stories.
0:49
Speaker 1: At about eight twenty in the morning on June twenty ninth,
0:52
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, an eighty three year old woman named
0:55
Speaker 1: June Baxter shuffled her way down the hallway of her
0:58
Speaker 1: small home in Attleborough, which is a quiet town in
1:00
Speaker 1: eastern England. As she walked, she had to keep one
1:03
Speaker 1: hand on the wall to keep her balance. She was
1:05
Speaker 1: pretty frail these days and also just had a lot
1:08
Speaker 1: of medical problems. But she also really valued her independence
1:12
Speaker 1: and so she was determined to keep living alone, even
1:15
Speaker 1: if it was kind of risky. So June used to
1:17
Speaker 1: live with her husband and their dog. But about seven
1:21
Speaker 1: years earlier, her husband had gotten really sick and so
1:24
Speaker 1: because of that, they'd had to give their dog to
1:26
Speaker 1: their granddaughter because they just couldn't take care of it
1:28
Speaker 1: anymore and also care for him. And then, unfortunately, June's
1:32
Speaker 1: husband did pass away, and so she was left all alone.
1:35
Speaker 1: But even though she was you know, all alone in
1:37
Speaker 1: terms of living in the house by herself, she wasn't
1:40
Speaker 1: completely isolated. Her granddaughter, who she had given the dog to,
1:44
Speaker 1: lived close by and visited a whole bunch and almost
1:47
Speaker 1: always brought along June's old dog, which June loved.
1:51
Speaker 2: Now.
1:51
Speaker 1: In addition to just being good company, June's granddaughter also
1:55
Speaker 1: regularly made herself available to help June with all sorts
1:58
Speaker 1: of basic things like you know, picking up her prescriptions
2:01
Speaker 1: and going grocery shopping for her, and you know, driving
2:04
Speaker 1: her to and from doctor's appointments. Like she was really
2:06
Speaker 1: available to her. But despite June knowing that, you know,
2:09
Speaker 1: knowing she could always call on her, she tried hard
2:12
Speaker 1: not to call on her granddaughter because again, she just
2:15
Speaker 1: really liked being independent. So on this particular day, she
2:19
Speaker 1: you know, continued slowly walking down the hallway, you know,
2:22
Speaker 1: you know, guiding herself by holding onto the wall, and
2:25
Speaker 1: then she turned the corner to go to the bathroom,
2:27
Speaker 1: and when she stepped inside, she slipped on the tile,
2:31
Speaker 1: and as she was falling to the ground, her legs
2:34
Speaker 1: scraped the corner of the bathroom counter. Immediately, June's legs
2:38
Speaker 1: started bleeding and June's yelling out in pain. But she
2:41
Speaker 1: lives alone, nobody can hear her, and so June quickly
2:44
Speaker 1: went from you know, just reacting to the pain and
2:47
Speaker 1: the blood. June was scared. I mean, this is the
2:50
Speaker 1: exact scenario that she was so worried about, you know,
2:53
Speaker 1: getting hurt when she was all alone, because she didn't
2:55
Speaker 1: really have a plan.
2:57
Speaker 2: It was like, I'm going to live alone, so help me.
2:59
Speaker 1: But fortunately for June, she had installed throughout her house
3:03
Speaker 1: all these emergency call bells that would allow her to basically,
3:06
Speaker 1: you know, hit the bell, and they were programmed to
3:08
Speaker 1: contact both her granddaughter and also the local emergency services.
3:12
Speaker 1: And in the bathroom there was one of these bells,
3:15
Speaker 1: and so once she kind of composed herself a little bit,
3:17
Speaker 1: grabbed the string for the spell and she pulled it
3:20
Speaker 1: about ten minutes later, June was still in the bathroom
3:23
Speaker 1: on the ground, holding onto her leg wound, when she
3:25
Speaker 1: heard the front door of her house swing open, and
3:27
Speaker 1: immediately she heard the sound of her granddaughter calling out
3:30
Speaker 1: for her, and June, as best as she could, even
3:32
Speaker 1: though her voice was a little bit weak, she called
3:34
Speaker 1: out and said where she was. A moment later, June's granddaughter,
3:38
Speaker 1: along with June's old dog she'd brought along, came bombing
3:41
Speaker 1: around the corner and they looked into the bathroom and
3:43
Speaker 1: they saw, you know, June and her horrible leg wound,
3:46
Speaker 1: and clearly the granddaughter is really worried right away. I mean,
3:49
Speaker 1: this was a very bad cut. But you know, for June,
3:53
Speaker 1: she's looking at her granddaughter and she's just flooded with
3:56
Speaker 1: relief because she knows, no matter how bad this is,
3:58
Speaker 1: her granddaughter is here. Everything's fine. And also her dog
4:02
Speaker 1: was here, which made everything better already. And so while
4:04
Speaker 1: June's granddaughter began rummaging through the bathroom to look for
4:07
Speaker 1: some bandages, June just kind of relaxed and just began
4:10
Speaker 1: petting her dog, who was clearly very worried about June.
4:13
Speaker 1: You know, this is her her dog, previously they had
4:15
Speaker 1: a very strong bond, and so she just petting her dog.
4:18
Speaker 1: And then you know, June's granddaughter did find some bandages
4:21
Speaker 1: and she wrapped up June's leg, and then by the
4:23
Speaker 1: time the paramedics got there, June actually was feeling basically okay.
4:27
Speaker 1: I mean, her leg definitely hurt, but she was very
4:30
Speaker 1: calm at this point. A couple of minutes later, the
4:32
Speaker 1: paramedics arrived and by this point, you know, June was
4:35
Speaker 1: actually feeling basically back to normal. I mean, her leg
4:38
Speaker 1: definitely still hurt, but again, her granddaughter had put that
4:41
Speaker 1: dressing on it and basically stopped the bleeding. And also
4:44
Speaker 1: June has her dog that she's petting like her comfort animal,
4:47
Speaker 1: and so she was very calm. Paramedics come in and
4:50
Speaker 1: they assess her, and they take off the dressing to
4:53
Speaker 1: check the wound, and after they cleaned it, they said, look,
4:56
Speaker 1: this is a pretty minor cut.
4:57
Speaker 2: You don't even need stitches. I think you're okay.
5:00
Speaker 1: Just be careful and maybe have your granddaughter stay here
5:02
Speaker 1: for a little bit just to make sure you don't
5:03
Speaker 1: fall again.
5:04
Speaker 2: But you're okay, like we're going to go.
5:07
Speaker 1: And so June, you know, she thanked the paramedics as
5:09
Speaker 1: they walked out the door, and then she and her
5:11
Speaker 1: granddaughter and the dog just sort of sat there, feeling
5:14
Speaker 1: grateful that this fall wasn't more serious.
5:17
Speaker 2: However, the next morning, when.
5:19
Speaker 1: June woke up, she knew something was wrong because, you know,
5:22
Speaker 1: all she's doing is laying in bed, but her heart
5:24
Speaker 1: is racing, she's sweating, she's lightheaded, Like, clearly something is
5:28
Speaker 1: off here now. The day before, after the paramedics left,
5:32
Speaker 1: her granddaughter did stick around for a little bit, but really,
5:35
Speaker 1: I mean, June was okay, and so June was alone
5:37
Speaker 1: in that night. You know, she had some soreness around
5:40
Speaker 1: the cut, but it really wasn't that serious. She really
5:42
Speaker 1: felt like dodged a bullet there. But now, you know,
5:45
Speaker 1: twelve hours later, something's going on here. Now, June had
5:49
Speaker 1: no way of knowing if her current symptoms were indeed
5:52
Speaker 1: connected to her you know, minor cut on her leg,
5:56
Speaker 1: but her concern that maybe this was serious and could
5:59
Speaker 1: potentially spiral really quickly made her not pull on one
6:03
Speaker 1: of those emergency bells, but instead she just picked up
6:06
Speaker 1: the phone and called an ambulance to take her to
6:08
Speaker 1: the hospital. When she got to the hospital doctors immediately
6:11
Speaker 1: began running all these tests on her, and very quickly
6:14
Speaker 1: they determined that she did have a very severe bacterial infection,
6:19
Speaker 1: which she must have gotten after cutting her leg, and
6:21
Speaker 1: unfortunately that infection had already spread into her blood, which
6:26
Speaker 1: would explain why she was feeling sweaty and lightheaded and
6:29
Speaker 1: why her heart was racing. Now, the medical staff definitely
6:32
Speaker 1: had some questions like how in the world could this
6:34
Speaker 1: have developed so quickly, especially after the paramedics the day
6:38
Speaker 1: before had at least, according to them, properly cleaned this
6:41
Speaker 1: wound before they left. But you know, their issue now
6:44
Speaker 1: was not how did this happen, but instead just stabilize
6:48
Speaker 1: June treat her, and so right away they began treating
6:51
Speaker 1: June with general antibiotics to try to fight off this infection,
6:54
Speaker 1: but it just wasn't working. And June was eighty three
6:58
Speaker 1: and already in relatively poor health, and her condition was
7:01
Speaker 1: clearly deteriorating rapidly, So the doctors began running more tests
7:06
Speaker 1: to try to determine exactly what type of bacteria was
7:09
Speaker 1: causing this infection, because if they knew that, they might
7:12
Speaker 1: be able to give her more targeted treatment than just
7:15
Speaker 1: general antibiotics, which clearly were not working, and they did
7:19
Speaker 1: eventually identify this bacteria, but by the time they did,
7:23
Speaker 1: June had unfortunately already developed sepsis, which is a life
7:27
Speaker 1: threatening condition that occurs when a person's body tries so
7:30
Speaker 1: hard to fight off an infection that it basically ends
7:33
Speaker 1: up damaging their vital organs in the process. Medical staff
7:36
Speaker 1: did everything they could, but it wasn't enough, and so eventually,
7:40
Speaker 1: one week after going to the hospital, June passed away.
7:44
Speaker 1: It would turn out the deadly bacteria that found its
7:47
Speaker 1: way into June's open wound was introduced to her by
7:52
Speaker 1: her granddaughter, completely by accident. The bacteria is called Pastorella multicida,
7:59
Speaker 1: and it's found in a very specific place inside the
8:03
Speaker 1: mouths of domestic dogs. While June laid on the bathroom
8:06
Speaker 1: floor waiting for her granddaughter to find bandages to wrap
8:09
Speaker 1: up her leg, June's old beloved dog, who her granddaughter
8:13
Speaker 1: had brought over, was trying to comfort June, and June
8:17
Speaker 1: was allowing the dog to do that.
8:19
Speaker 2: But what the dog was doing actually doing.
8:22
Speaker 1: To comfort June was licking her open wound, and so
8:26
Speaker 1: that led to the bacteria going in and it would
8:29
Speaker 1: kill June. One week later, on the afternoon of March fourth,
8:48
Speaker 1: two thousand, a forty year old woman named Enus Ramirez
8:52
Speaker 1: stood in the kitchen of her tiny, one room home,
8:54
Speaker 1: which was deep in the mountains of Wahaca, Mexico. Enus
8:57
Speaker 1: had a whole chicken on the counter right in front
8:59
Speaker 1: of her that she had just killed and plucked, and
9:02
Speaker 1: now she was using a six inch long knife to
9:04
Speaker 1: butcher it for their dinner. And as she did this,
9:07
Speaker 1: every once in a while she would look out the
9:09
Speaker 1: window to check on her seven kids were playing together
9:12
Speaker 1: out in the yard. So Enus and her large family
9:15
Speaker 1: lived in a very isolated rural community of about maybe
9:19
Speaker 1: five hundred people.
9:20
Speaker 2: They didn't have running.
9:21
Speaker 1: Water, or electricity or a phone, and they lived miles
9:25
Speaker 1: away from their closest neighbors. They mainly lived off of
9:28
Speaker 1: corn and vegetables that they grew themselves, chickens they raised,
9:32
Speaker 1: and then wild animals that Enus's husband would catch. Her
9:35
Speaker 1: husband was actually gone that day because he was out
9:37
Speaker 1: in the mountains hunting for deer, and so as Enis
9:40
Speaker 1: is just kind of going about her fairly typical evening
9:42
Speaker 1: routine here, you know, making dinner, she suddenly felt this
9:46
Speaker 1: really intense, very painful cramping sensation that was kind of
9:51
Speaker 1: ripping through her abdomen, and it hurt so bad that
9:54
Speaker 1: Enus stopped what she was doing and kind of doubled
9:56
Speaker 1: over and grabbed the counter and just tried to steady
9:59
Speaker 1: or breathe.
10:00
Speaker 2: I mean, this was really shocking, and for about a minute.
10:03
Speaker 1: Enis just stood there, you know, holding onto the counter,
10:05
Speaker 1: just waiting for this pain to pass. And eventually it did,
10:09
Speaker 1: and once it eased up, it was like, okay, she
10:11
Speaker 1: was back to normal and she could stand up again.
10:13
Speaker 1: But this was sort of alarming, But at the same time,
10:17
Speaker 1: Enus was used to dealing with basically all medical crises
10:21
Speaker 1: on her own. They lived in this isolated part of
10:23
Speaker 1: the world, and the nearest medical clinic was fifty miles
10:26
Speaker 1: away and they didn't have a car, so like anything
10:30
Speaker 1: that happened, they basically had to deal with it themselves
10:33
Speaker 1: and that was routine. And so for Enis, despite how
10:36
Speaker 1: incredibly painful this was, she just told herself like, now
10:39
Speaker 1: that it had passed, the pain was gone, she said,
10:41
Speaker 1: you know what, it's probably fine, like I'm good, and
10:44
Speaker 1: so pretty quickly she just kind of forgot about it
10:47
Speaker 1: and went back to butchering the chicken.
10:49
Speaker 2: But several hours later, this is after.
10:51
Speaker 1: Midnight now, the pain came right back. And at this
10:55
Speaker 1: point enis she's in this one common room in her
10:58
Speaker 1: house where.
10:59
Speaker 2: All her kids her fast asleep.
11:01
Speaker 1: It's past midnight now, and she's sitting on this bench
11:04
Speaker 1: and she's gripping her abdomen, rocking back and forth as
11:08
Speaker 1: this pain just rockets back and forth across her abdomen constantly.
11:13
Speaker 2: There's no relief, nothing, and.
11:15
Speaker 1: She's trying so hard not to make a sound because
11:17
Speaker 1: she doesn't want to wake her kids up, nor does
11:19
Speaker 1: she want to scare her kids. Her husband is still
11:22
Speaker 1: off in the mountains hunting for deer, so she is alone.
11:25
Speaker 1: She just has this little flickering candle nearby. That's the
11:28
Speaker 1: only light she's got, and she just isolated dealing with
11:31
Speaker 1: this excruciating pain. And so at this point Us really
11:35
Speaker 1: felt like this could be a real problem. This might
11:38
Speaker 1: not be something she could just brush off and let
11:40
Speaker 1: pass on its own. This was real, this was an
11:43
Speaker 1: actual emergency.
11:45
Speaker 2: But what can she even do. There's nowhere to go,
11:47
Speaker 2: She can't do anything.
11:48
Speaker 1: She is just completely trapped here with this excruciating pain
11:52
Speaker 1: that's making it hard to even have coherent thought.
11:55
Speaker 2: It's so bad.
11:57
Speaker 1: But the one thought that kept going through her mind
12:00
Speaker 1: was she had to do something or whatever this was,
12:02
Speaker 1: it felt like it was going to kill her. And
12:04
Speaker 1: so Enus felt like she really only had one option here,
12:08
Speaker 1: and it was a horrible, horrible option, but she knew
12:12
Speaker 1: she had to do it, and so she got up
12:14
Speaker 1: and she's, you know, she's hunched over in pain, and
12:16
Speaker 1: as quietly as she could, she walked over to a
12:19
Speaker 1: cabinet and she opened it up and she grabbed a
12:22
Speaker 1: small bottle of alcohol and she took a few SIPs
12:24
Speaker 1: to kind of numb the pain a little bit. And
12:27
Speaker 1: then after she had done that, she turned around, and
12:29
Speaker 1: still with this blinding pain, she hobbled into the kitchen
12:33
Speaker 1: and she grabbed that six inch knife she had used
12:36
Speaker 1: earlier to butcher the chicken, and then she walked right
12:39
Speaker 1: back over to the bench near that candle that she
12:41
Speaker 1: had been sitting on earlier. And once she was there,
12:44
Speaker 1: she reached down and she pulled up her shirt, exposing
12:47
Speaker 1: her abdomen, you know, where.
12:48
Speaker 2: This pain was coming from. And then she took the
12:51
Speaker 2: knife and.
12:52
Speaker 1: She plunged it into her abdomen, and immediately she let
12:56
Speaker 1: out this blood curdling scream. She couldn't help it, and
12:59
Speaker 1: she sort of vaguely aware of all her kids waking
13:02
Speaker 1: up and sort of making their way over to her,
13:04
Speaker 1: but she was so focused on what she was doing,
13:07
Speaker 1: and she began slowly dragging this blade down her abdomen
13:11
Speaker 1: all the way to her belly button, and then she
13:13
Speaker 1: pulled out the knife and she can barely think.
13:15
Speaker 2: It's so painful. Her kids are.
13:17
Speaker 1: Crying, and then she plunged the knife back into her
13:21
Speaker 1: abdomen and raked it down the other side, creating this.
13:25
Speaker 2: Massive gash in her stomach. And then she kind of
13:28
Speaker 2: dropped the knife and she's screaming.
13:29
Speaker 1: She can't even help it, and her kids are all crying,
13:32
Speaker 1: and she takes her hand and she reaches into her
13:35
Speaker 1: stomach and she's fishing around. Every little move is like
13:39
Speaker 1: lightning striking her body. But she eventually finds what she's
13:42
Speaker 1: looking for and she pulls it out of her stomach,
13:46
Speaker 1: and what she's looking at is her eighth child, a
13:50
Speaker 1: baby boy, And she had enough wherewithal to take that
13:53
Speaker 1: knife and cut the ambilica cord and place the baby.
13:56
Speaker 2: Down before she passed out.
13:59
Speaker 1: After Enu's law consciousness, one of her kids left the
14:02
Speaker 1: house and just started running to go find the nearest
14:05
Speaker 1: person to get some help. And miraculously, after finding some people,
14:09
Speaker 1: you know, when those first responders got to the home
14:12
Speaker 1: where Enus was hours later, they found her and her
14:16
Speaker 1: newborn son alive and they were taken to the closest
14:20
Speaker 1: hospital for emergency treatment and they would both make full recoveries. Today,
14:24
Speaker 1: Enus Ramirez is the only woman ever who has performed
14:29
Speaker 1: a successful C section on herself. In the early morning
14:45
Speaker 1: hours of December third, nineteen twenty one, a sixty two
14:48
Speaker 1: year old woman named Augusta Roblin lay awake in her
14:51
Speaker 1: bedroom inside of her daughter's house in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Augusta
14:55
Speaker 1: had lived with her daughter now for about a year.
14:58
Speaker 1: She had moved in after her husband had away. She
15:00
Speaker 1: just really hated being alone, and at night in particular,
15:04
Speaker 1: you know, it was difficult to sleep sometimes, you know,
15:06
Speaker 1: just the weight of the loneliness was very intense.
15:09
Speaker 2: And also Augusta was known to have.
15:11
Speaker 1: Really visceral bad dreams, and so that combined with loneliness
15:16
Speaker 1: made living alone, really awful.
15:18
Speaker 2: So here she was living with her daughter.
15:20
Speaker 1: But on this particular night, Augusta she was wide awake
15:23
Speaker 1: in bed because she had had one of these awful nightmares,
15:26
Speaker 1: but she knew she could not tell her.
15:29
Speaker 2: Daughter about it. Now.
15:31
Speaker 1: Normally, one of the ways that Augusta would cope with
15:33
Speaker 1: these terrible nightmares, even when she was living alone, is
15:37
Speaker 1: she would get in touch with her daughter and they
15:38
Speaker 1: would talk about it. They would try to figure out
15:41
Speaker 1: if there was meaning in this awfulness of these nightmares,
15:44
Speaker 1: and sometimes they felt like they did find deeper meaning,
15:47
Speaker 1: and it sort of was cathartic for Augusta. But on
15:50
Speaker 1: this night, the dream she had just had, this nightmare,
15:53
Speaker 1: this visceral, awful nightmare, she knew based on what she
15:57
Speaker 1: believed it meant, she absolutely could not tell her daughter
16:01
Speaker 1: anything about it. She had to hide it at all costs.
16:04
Speaker 1: In the dream Augusta had just had, she kind of
16:07
Speaker 1: came to and she was in her daughter's basement. So
16:10
Speaker 1: in the basement of the house she was in right now,
16:13
Speaker 1: and in front of her on the ground were these
16:15
Speaker 1: two perfectly circular, very very deep holes just that went
16:19
Speaker 1: straight into the ground. And so Augusta she found herself
16:22
Speaker 1: walking towards the edge and looking over, and she saw
16:26
Speaker 1: it was like this unbelievable abyss in each hole. It's
16:29
Speaker 1: like it went on into infinity. But despite this innate
16:32
Speaker 1: fear she had for these holes, she sat down on
16:36
Speaker 1: the edge of one of these holes and basically dangled
16:39
Speaker 1: her feet over this cataclysmic abyss below her. And as
16:43
Speaker 1: she's sitting there like a child dangling her feet, these
16:46
Speaker 1: two men in dark clothes they wander over out of
16:49
Speaker 1: the shadows, and they walked behind Augusta. They don't interact
16:53
Speaker 1: with her, and they go to the other hole, the
16:55
Speaker 1: hole that is next to Augusta, and she looks at.
16:58
Speaker 2: These men and they're not looking at her. They're doing something.
17:00
Speaker 1: They're clearly in the middle of some sort of act.
17:04
Speaker 1: And they pull this huge carpet seemingly out of nowhere,
17:07
Speaker 1: and the two men stretch it out over this other
17:09
Speaker 1: hole next to Augusta, and they lay it over the hole.
17:14
Speaker 1: And as soon as Augusta saw that, she suddenly understood
17:18
Speaker 1: what was happening here, and she was horrified.
17:20
Speaker 2: So she woke up and.
17:22
Speaker 1: Now here she was knowing that based on what she
17:25
Speaker 1: just saw in her mind's eye in this horrible nightmare,
17:28
Speaker 1: that she could never share it with anyone, that she
17:30
Speaker 1: would live with the secret. So Augusta would eventually fall
17:35
Speaker 1: back to sleep that night and she would get up
17:37
Speaker 1: in the morning and she would not tell her daughter,
17:39
Speaker 1: Henrietta anything about this dream she had had. She played
17:43
Speaker 1: it off like everything was just fine. Over the course
17:45
Speaker 1: of the day, Henrietta, even though she didn't say anything,
17:48
Speaker 1: began to notice that her mom was just acting really weird,
17:51
Speaker 1: like something was on her mind. And finally at night,
17:54
Speaker 1: when the two of them sat down for dinner. This
17:56
Speaker 1: is basically, you know, twenty four hours give her take
17:59
Speaker 1: from when a go to.
18:00
Speaker 2: Have this dream.
18:01
Speaker 1: Right, They're sitting down for dinner and Augusta she's not eating,
18:05
Speaker 1: she seems totally like disconnected, and she just seems off,
18:08
Speaker 1: and Henrietta's like, Mom, what is going on with you?
18:12
Speaker 1: And Augusta at this point realized she must be giving
18:15
Speaker 1: off very negative vibes here, and so she told her daughter,
18:17
Speaker 1: don't worry, I'm fine, I'm sorry, I'm just I'm not hungry.
18:20
Speaker 1: Everything's fine. I'm just feeling a little bit off. So
18:23
Speaker 1: everything's fine. But Henrietta realistically did not believe her mom,
18:28
Speaker 1: but she didn't push her. She said okay, and they
18:30
Speaker 1: finished their dinner, and then before long, you know, Augusta
18:33
Speaker 1: had gone to bed. But the next morning, when Henrietta
18:37
Speaker 1: got up, she went downstairs expecting to see her mom,
18:40
Speaker 1: but Augusta was nowhere to be found, and so, again,
18:43
Speaker 1: feeling kind of concerned about her mom's behavior, she went
18:46
Speaker 1: to Augusta's bedroom to check on her, and she found
18:49
Speaker 1: her mom seeming really weak and lethargic and just totally
18:53
Speaker 1: out of it, laying in bed, and she asked her mom, like, really,
18:56
Speaker 1: what's going on with you or are you not feeling well?
18:58
Speaker 1: What's happening here? And her mom just said, like, I
19:01
Speaker 1: just don't want to get into bed. I'm just I'm
19:03
Speaker 1: feeling under the weather. I'm gonna stay here. But even
19:05
Speaker 1: though Henrietta could see her mom was clearly downplaying this,
19:09
Speaker 1: she just felt like there's too many red flags. So
19:11
Speaker 1: she called a doctor, and a doctor came to the
19:13
Speaker 1: house and a doctor examined Augusta and they determined that,
19:17
Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't really clear exactly what was going
19:19
Speaker 1: on with her. You know, clearly she's not feeling great,
19:22
Speaker 1: but the only thing they found was that her heart
19:25
Speaker 1: sounded a little bit weak, and so the doctor suggested
19:28
Speaker 1: that Augusta just, you know, rest, have some water, eat
19:31
Speaker 1: some food, and just stay in bed and you should
19:33
Speaker 1: get better. But despite Augusta doing what the doctor said
19:37
Speaker 1: and basically remaining on bed rest, she didn't get better.
19:41
Speaker 1: And in fact, Henrietta, her daughter, is watching and she's
19:45
Speaker 1: clearly seeing that not only is her mother deteriorating physically,
19:49
Speaker 1: but she was also becoming more and more despondent and
19:52
Speaker 1: sort of disconnected emotionally. It was like she was drifting
19:56
Speaker 1: off into some other world that Henriette was not a
19:58
Speaker 1: part of, and she was just so worried about her mom.
20:01
Speaker 1: And so finally, on December seventh, so this is for reference,
20:05
Speaker 1: five days after Augusta had that visceral nightmare that she
20:08
Speaker 1: felt like she couldn't share with anybody, Henrietta went into
20:12
Speaker 1: her mother's room and she sat on the edge of
20:13
Speaker 1: the bed and she said to her mom, you gotta
20:16
Speaker 1: tell me what's going on. It seems like there's something
20:19
Speaker 1: else here that you're not sharing with me. You gotta
20:21
Speaker 1: tell me. I don't care what it is, but I
20:23
Speaker 1: gotta know Augusta. When she heard her daughter saying this,
20:26
Speaker 1: she sort of thought about trying to keep doing the
20:28
Speaker 1: same thing she was doing, which was, you know, basically
20:31
Speaker 1: say everything's fine and push her daughter off. But she
20:33
Speaker 1: could tell Henrietta was not going to take that for
20:35
Speaker 1: an answer, and so Augusta sighed and she said, I
20:39
Speaker 1: had that dream again.
20:41
Speaker 2: Except this time I watched the procedure.
20:45
Speaker 1: Now to us, this is you know, cryptic and weird
20:48
Speaker 1: and doesn't really mean anything. But to Henrietta, who understood
20:53
Speaker 1: what her mom was talking about, she was completely horrified.
20:57
Speaker 1: It would turn out Augusta really did have like horrible
21:01
Speaker 1: nightmares that plagued her for at least the last year
21:03
Speaker 1: or so. But it was like a recurring nightmare. She
21:08
Speaker 1: didn't have different variations. It basically was the exact same
21:11
Speaker 1: nightmare that just really upset her. The way it went is,
21:15
Speaker 1: you know, she would open her eyes in this nightmare
21:17
Speaker 1: and in front of her would be these two bottomless pits,
21:20
Speaker 1: these huge holes in the ground. Now she wouldn't know
21:23
Speaker 1: what these holes are, but she'd be able to tell
21:26
Speaker 1: that she was in an environment that she recognized. One
21:29
Speaker 1: time she saw that she was in her sister in
21:32
Speaker 1: law's guarden. Another time she saw she was in her
21:34
Speaker 1: neighbor's backyard, like she knew where she was, but she
21:37
Speaker 1: didn't understand these holes. But in this nightmare, she would
21:41
Speaker 1: always walk up to the holes and then she not
21:44
Speaker 1: two men who walked in, but she would take a
21:47
Speaker 1: rugout and cover up one of those holes, and then
21:50
Speaker 1: she'd wake up. Now, on its face, this does not
21:53
Speaker 1: sound like a particularly frightening dream, but there's a connection
21:57
Speaker 1: to the real world that made it frightening. Every time
22:01
Speaker 1: Augusta would have these nightmares, the person who lived at
22:05
Speaker 1: the property where the dream took place, the sister in
22:09
Speaker 1: law's garden, the neighbor's backyard. When she would have that dream,
22:13
Speaker 1: she would come to and then within a couple of
22:15
Speaker 1: days that person would die, usually inexplicably. It was like
22:20
Speaker 1: a harbinger of doom that these dreams represented who was
22:23
Speaker 1: going to die next, And so every time she had
22:26
Speaker 1: this dream, she knew someone's gonna die. But in that
22:29
Speaker 1: last dream, she had the one, you know, five days earlier,
22:32
Speaker 1: that scared her so badly, she knew she couldn't tell Henrietta.
22:35
Speaker 1: In that dream, it was the first time she Augusta
22:40
Speaker 1: didn't perform the procedure, i e. Putting the rug over
22:43
Speaker 1: one of the holes. Those two men came over and
22:45
Speaker 1: they did it, and Augusta realized she's sitting with her
22:49
Speaker 1: feet in the other hole. And she's realizing she's in
22:53
Speaker 1: her daughter's basement. That's where this dream's taking place. This
22:57
Speaker 1: must mean she Augusta is next. And wouldn't you know it,
23:02
Speaker 1: just days after telling her daughter about this, you know,
23:05
Speaker 1: within two weeks of having this dream, Augusta died of
23:09
Speaker 1: heart failure in her daughter's house. Thank you so much
