0:43
Speaker 1: Okay, let's get into our first story, called Peace and Serenity.
1:06
Speaker 1: On the morning of July twenty third, two thousand and six,
1:09
Speaker 1: a seventy four year old artist named Maurice Aegis paced
1:12
Speaker 1: back and forth near an art exhibit in Riverside Park
1:15
Speaker 1: in Chesterless Street, England, and Maurice was frustrated because this
1:19
Speaker 1: was supposed to be one of the biggest days of
1:22
Speaker 1: his entire forty year career as an artist. Right now,
1:26
Speaker 1: his exhibit, his masterpiece should be full of people, but
1:31
Speaker 1: it wasn't.
1:31
Speaker 2: So.
1:32
Speaker 1: Maurice's exhibit was called dream Space. It was this massive
1:35
Speaker 1: structure about half the size of a soccer field, and
1:39
Speaker 1: inside of it was the sprawling network of small, colorful,
1:42
Speaker 1: interconnected rooms. Dreamspace was designed so that visitors could sort
1:46
Speaker 1: of wander from room to room and be affected by
1:49
Speaker 1: the music and soothing lighting and have kind of an immersive,
1:52
Speaker 1: serene experience. And this was by far the largest physical
1:57
Speaker 1: exhibit that Maurice had ever done, so it had taken
1:59
Speaker 1: a lot a lot of preparation, and naturally there had
2:02
Speaker 1: been some construction hiccups, but it was all going to
2:05
Speaker 1: be worth it, because Maurice knew it was about to
2:08
Speaker 1: be seen by a lot of people since it was
2:10
Speaker 1: located in a really big public park. However, before they
2:13
Speaker 1: could actually open, there was still one more hiccup to
2:17
Speaker 1: deal with. This morning, when Maurice had arrived, he'd realized
2:20
Speaker 1: that part of his exhibit had not been set up correctly,
2:24
Speaker 1: so he and his staff had spent the last few
2:26
Speaker 1: hours rushing around to fix everything and add some finishing
2:30
Speaker 1: touches to the exterior, and Maurice knew they really needed
2:33
Speaker 1: to hurry here because making these changes had already taken
2:36
Speaker 1: up way too much time, and they were already late
2:39
Speaker 1: in opening the exhibit. Maurice could see that there were
2:42
Speaker 1: guests who had already purchased tickets who were lining up
2:45
Speaker 1: at the entrance to get into dream Space, and they
2:48
Speaker 1: looked confused and sort of annoyed about why they weren't
2:51
Speaker 1: inside already, and so naturally, Maurice was afraid that if
2:54
Speaker 1: he didn't wrap this up soon and start letting people in,
2:57
Speaker 1: these people would just start leaving. They would not get
3:01
Speaker 1: to see how amazing his masterpiece was, and that would
3:03
Speaker 1: be just devastating. So at this point Maurice just stepped
3:07
Speaker 1: back and he looked at what he and his staff
3:09
Speaker 1: had done so far in terms of fixes, and he
3:12
Speaker 1: decided that, you know, things were looking good enough. They'd
3:15
Speaker 1: addressed the major issues that he had had, and even
3:19
Speaker 1: though Maurice was ultimately a perfectionist and would have liked
3:22
Speaker 1: to do even more additions, just getting dream Space open
3:26
Speaker 1: at this point was way more important. So Maurice told
3:29
Speaker 1: a staff to stop what they were doing and go
3:32
Speaker 1: to the entrance and start letting the visitors in a
3:35
Speaker 1: few hours later, around three fifteen pm, sixty eight year
3:38
Speaker 1: old Elizabeth Collings walked into Riverside Park with her fourteen
3:42
Speaker 1: year old grandson. They lived in the area and they
3:45
Speaker 1: had just decided to take a walk together in the park,
3:47
Speaker 1: and Elizabeth was glad they had. It was like the
3:50
Speaker 1: perfect summer day. There was a light breeze, it was
3:52
Speaker 1: very sunny and warm, and so with the wind rustling
3:55
Speaker 1: her hair and her grandson happily walking beside her, she
3:59
Speaker 1: felt very at peace. But just then her grandson stopped
4:02
Speaker 1: and sort of broke her piece by telling her to, hey,
4:05
Speaker 1: look at this, And Elizabeth turned and looked, you know,
4:08
Speaker 1: where her grandson was pointing, and she saw on the
4:11
Speaker 1: other side of the park there was this sprawling, colorful
4:14
Speaker 1: structure with a huge line of people out front and
4:18
Speaker 1: soothing music coming from its open doors. And Elizabeth thought,
4:21
Speaker 1: you know, whatever that is, it looked really intriguing and
4:24
Speaker 1: not like anything she had ever seen before. So she
4:27
Speaker 1: was just excited as her grandson to go check it out,
4:30
Speaker 1: and so she said, let's go. Just a few minutes later,
4:33
Speaker 1: and Elizabeth and her grandson had purchased their tickets and
4:36
Speaker 1: actually stepped inside the exhibit, and Elizabeth knew instantly that
4:41
Speaker 1: this had been a great idea.
4:43
Speaker 2: The lights were dim inside.
4:45
Speaker 1: And the colorful walls seemed almost glow as they went
4:48
Speaker 1: from room to room, and all around them the dreamy,
4:51
Speaker 1: tranquil music played, and even though it was fairly crowded
4:55
Speaker 1: and pretty hot inside, it still felt quite peaceful, and
4:59
Speaker 1: Elizabeth could fe her entire body just sort of relax,
5:03
Speaker 1: and for the next ten minutes or so, she and
5:04
Speaker 1: her grandson just wandered around slowly, taking in the atmosphere
5:08
Speaker 1: and the lights and the music.
5:09
Speaker 2: It was really nice.
5:10
Speaker 1: At some point they made their way into this room
5:13
Speaker 1: which had this beautiful blue hue to it, and there
5:16
Speaker 1: was some light coming in from the room next to them,
5:17
Speaker 1: which was sort of brownish, and when the color of
5:20
Speaker 1: the room they were in and this brownish light combined,
5:23
Speaker 1: it sort of had this effect of making the room
5:25
Speaker 1: feel almost green. And then mixed with the music, it
5:28
Speaker 1: was just this really cool experience, and both Elizabeth and
5:31
Speaker 1: her grandson were just sort of transfixed, sort of taking
5:34
Speaker 1: in this really cool exhibit. But as they were taking
5:37
Speaker 1: this in, all of a sudden, there was this deafening
5:41
Speaker 1: snapping sound and the moment that snapping sound happened, Elizabeth
5:45
Speaker 1: suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented, and as she stared at
5:49
Speaker 1: all the colors around her, the room seemed to almost tilt,
5:52
Speaker 1: and she found herself stumbling a few steps, like the
5:55
Speaker 1: room was moving and she was losing her balance. And
5:58
Speaker 1: at first she wondered if maybe the lights and the
6:01
Speaker 1: heat were just getting to her, except then she couldn't
6:04
Speaker 1: help but have this almost floating sensation, like the room
6:07
Speaker 1: itself was moving away from her, And then she realized
6:12
Speaker 1: her feet were no longer touching the floor. Have you
6:19
Speaker 1: ever wished you could consume the strange, dark and mysterious
6:24
Speaker 1: in a live storytelling event, Well that dream is becoming

7:45
Speaker 1: The creator of Dreamspace, Maurice, had been outside with the
7:48
Speaker 1: guests who were in line waiting to get into the exhibit,
7:52
Speaker 1: and so far the day really had been going great.
7:54
Speaker 1: I mean, he had done all those last minute changes
7:56
Speaker 1: and fixes to the exhibit and he had sort of
7:59
Speaker 1: got it done just in time to open it up.
8:01
Speaker 1: And now all these people are here and there's at
8:03
Speaker 1: least forty some odd people in line, with more and
8:06
Speaker 1: more joining and everybody who comes out of the exhibit
8:09
Speaker 1: is you know, beaming and talking about what an incredible
8:11
Speaker 1: experience it was. I mean, the day had been going
8:14
Speaker 1: great for Maurice until he heard.
8:18
Speaker 2: That snapping sound.
8:20
Speaker 1: When that loud snap rang out, everybody heard it, and
8:24
Speaker 1: then Maurice, who was looking away from dream Space, he
8:27
Speaker 1: began hearing screams behind him, and then before he could
8:30
Speaker 1: say or do anything, he just sort of whipped around
8:33
Speaker 1: and looked, and all he saw were these shapes just
8:36
Speaker 1: falling from the sky and smashing into the ground. And
8:39
Speaker 1: at first Maurice and everybody else around him didn't even
8:42
Speaker 1: know what they were. Then suddenly Maurice realized those shapes
8:47
Speaker 1: were people. So earlier in the day, when Maurice and
8:51
Speaker 1: his staff were sort of hustling to get all those
8:53
Speaker 1: last minute fixes done on this exhibit so they could
8:56
Speaker 1: open it to the public. Well, Maurice, who knew that
9:00
Speaker 1: this was going to be his last big art exhibit,
9:02
Speaker 1: this was like the end of his career. It was
9:03
Speaker 1: supposed to be the exclamation point on a storied career.
9:07
Speaker 1: Here he was so worried that if he didn't get
9:10
Speaker 1: the doors open fast enough that people in line were
9:12
Speaker 1: going to leave and not even show up, and it
9:14
Speaker 1: would be this catastrophic failure that he ultimately basically stopped
9:19
Speaker 1: his staff from finishing all the renovations, all the fixes
9:22
Speaker 1: he needed to do, in favor of just getting people
9:25
Speaker 1: in the door. And the way he sort of rationalized
9:27
Speaker 1: it was, well, you know, I'm a perfectionist, and I
9:31
Speaker 1: would have liked to have done all the fixes, but
9:34
Speaker 1: I did enough.
9:35
Speaker 2: Like, you know, it's good enough. Let's get this place open.
9:37
Speaker 1: Let's send people in. The problem with that is some
9:40
Speaker 1: of the things that he overlooked in his haste to
9:42
Speaker 1: open up the front doors for the public included vital
9:46
Speaker 1: safety precautions. Some of these missed safety precautions included tying
9:52
Speaker 1: down a series of extra ropes to anchor the exhibit
9:56
Speaker 1: to the ground. The staff had ultimately tied down the
9:59
Speaker 1: front of the structure, but you know, because Maurice rushed
10:03
Speaker 1: them to get the place open, they didn't anchor the
10:06
Speaker 1: back of the exhibit, and this would turn out to
10:08
Speaker 1: be just a catastrophic oversight. Dream Space was not a
10:14
Speaker 1: regular permanent art exhibit. It was not made of walls
10:18
Speaker 1: and concrete with a real foundation. It was an inflatable
10:22
Speaker 1: exhibit made of plastic sheeting, sort of like what shower
10:26
Speaker 1: curtains are made of. So even though there was just
10:29
Speaker 1: a light breeze going through the park that day, it
10:31
Speaker 1: was enough to sort of suddenly lift the entire dream
10:35
Speaker 1: Space structure out of the ground because again there was
10:39
Speaker 1: just a couple of anchors, not a full set of anchors,
10:41
Speaker 1: and so suddenly the wind yanks the space out of
10:44
Speaker 1: the ground.
10:45
Speaker 2: That was the snapping sound.
10:47
Speaker 1: And so basically this this big structure turned into like
10:49
Speaker 1: a giant hot air balloon and everybody inside of it,
10:53
Speaker 1: the dozens of people, including Elizabeth and her grandson, were
10:57
Speaker 1: thrown thirty feet into the air, and they're all trapped
11:00
Speaker 1: inside of this plastic key structure that's contorting in the
11:03
Speaker 1: wind up at thirty feet and as the wind picked up,
11:07
Speaker 1: the higher up they went, the dream Space structure as
11:09
Speaker 1: it contorted, began ejecting all of the people inside of
11:13
Speaker 1: it out. And so that's why when Maurice looked, he
11:16
Speaker 1: saw all these people falling to the ground. In the end,
11:20
Speaker 1: twenty seven people were injured and two were killed, including
11:24
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Collings. As for Maurice, aegis the creator of dream space.
11:29
Speaker 1: He was convicted of a health and safety violation and
11:32
Speaker 1: given a fine, but despite that being a relatively light
11:36
Speaker 1: punishment relative to what happened, he was so devastated by
11:40
Speaker 1: the destruction that his creation caused that he never made.
11:44
Speaker 2: Anything like it again.
11:45
Speaker 1: This was the last piece of art he ever did,
11:48
Speaker 1: and in fact, he died just three years later in
11:51
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. At five am on December twenty fourth,
12:09
Speaker 1: eighteen eighty five, thirty year old Samuel Wardell abruptly sat
12:13
Speaker 1: up in his bed in New York City, having just
12:15
Speaker 1: been woken up by the sound of his deafening alarm clock.
12:19
Speaker 1: And just like every other morning, Samuel immediately got up
12:23
Speaker 1: out of his bed and he trudged across the floor
12:25
Speaker 1: of his one bedroom apartment to the shelf where his
12:28
Speaker 1: alarm clock was, and he reset it. Now, the placing
12:31
Speaker 1: of this alarm clock was very intentional. Samuel was a
12:36
Speaker 1: very very heavy sleeper, and so by putting the clock
12:39
Speaker 1: all the way over there, it forced him to get
12:41
Speaker 1: out of bed walk all the way across the room
12:43
Speaker 1: to reset it, and then ideally he just wouldn't go
12:46
Speaker 1: back to bed. Then, for the most part, he wouldn't
12:48
Speaker 1: Now it can't be overstated just how heavy a sleeper
12:53
Speaker 1: Samuel actually was. In fact, he'd actually taken another step
12:57
Speaker 1: to make sure that he really could not sleep through
13:00
Speaker 1: his alarm. He'd made some additional alterations to the alarm
13:03
Speaker 1: clock that made it way louder.
13:06
Speaker 2: Now, this did seem.
13:07
Speaker 1: Sort of like overkill to most people who knew about it,
13:10
Speaker 1: but it was hard to argue with the results. Samuel
13:14
Speaker 1: had not been late to work in years, and that
13:16
Speaker 1: was really important because Samuel had a very early morning
13:20
Speaker 1: job that he didn't want to lose. He was a
13:23
Speaker 1: city lamplighter. In eighteen eighty five, large parts of New
13:27
Speaker 1: York City still relied on gas burning street lights when
13:30
Speaker 1: it got dark outside. So the way it worked is
13:33
Speaker 1: there was a night shift lamplighter, not Samuel. There's somebody
13:37
Speaker 1: else who would go around the city and light those
13:39
Speaker 1: lights at dusk, and then in the early morning hours,
13:43
Speaker 1: the morning lamplighter Samuel would go put them out again.
13:47
Speaker 1: And so that's why he had to get up early
13:50
Speaker 1: to go put out the lamps. And even though Samuel
13:53
Speaker 1: really didn't like getting up this early, the reality was
13:56
Speaker 1: is he did need the job, and also too, he
13:59
Speaker 1: had sort of grown fond of the job. He had
14:02
Speaker 1: a lot of fun doing it. Over the years, he'd
14:04
Speaker 1: become very friendly with basically everybody on his local route,
14:07
Speaker 1: and so he didn't mind it. You know, getting up
14:10
Speaker 1: was painful, but it was worth it. Samuel actually had
14:13
Speaker 1: become so close with the people on his route that
14:16
Speaker 1: that night he was going to be throwing this big
14:18
Speaker 1: Christmas party for all these people. It was like all
14:20
Speaker 1: his friends from his job were going to come over
14:22
Speaker 1: and celebrate with him, and he was really excited about it.
14:25
Speaker 1: But that was not going to be until much later
14:27
Speaker 1: that night.
14:28
Speaker 2: You know.
14:28
Speaker 1: For now, he just needed to reset his alarm clock,
14:31
Speaker 1: get dressed, and go out and put out those lamps.
14:41
Speaker 1: Fast forward to the end of the night and Samuel
14:44
Speaker 1: now is he's done with his work.
14:46
Speaker 2: He's back home. All his friends are over.
14:48
Speaker 1: And he's pouring some ale from this big barrel that
14:51
Speaker 1: his friends had brought over for this party, and he's
14:53
Speaker 1: just having a great time. The single room of his
14:56
Speaker 1: tiny apartment was now packed with about thirty people and
14:59
Speaker 1: they two, We're all having just a great time. They
15:01
Speaker 1: didn't care how small it was. This was just like
15:04
Speaker 1: an awesome party. Now by this point, Samuel and his
15:07
Speaker 1: friends had already spent the last few hours drinking, and
15:10
Speaker 1: so they were quite drunk, but they were having a
15:13
Speaker 1: great time, laughing and eating and everyone's just having so
15:15
Speaker 1: much fun. And so even though it was definitely getting
15:18
Speaker 1: late and Samuel did have to work the next day,
15:22
Speaker 1: it just felt like the party was not about to
15:24
Speaker 1: end anytime soon, and Samuel was not quite ready to
15:28
Speaker 1: turn it off yet.
15:28
Speaker 2: He was having too good of a time, and so.
15:30
Speaker 1: When one of his friends randomly stood up and sort
15:33
Speaker 1: of drunkenly suggested they have an amateur boxing match, Samuel
15:38
Speaker 1: immediately voiced his approval along with everybody else.
15:41
Speaker 2: They cheered. They're like, yeah, let's do it. And so
15:44
Speaker 2: Samuel and the.
15:45
Speaker 1: Other party guests they cleared the furniture out from you know,
15:48
Speaker 1: this single room, you know, to set up the boxing ring,
15:51
Speaker 1: and then Samuel and the others all stood back and
15:53
Speaker 1: cheered while two of their friends began, you know, fighting
15:56
Speaker 1: each other in the middle of the apartment. It was
15:58
Speaker 1: like this totally booze fuel just madness happening inside of
16:03
Speaker 1: this place, and Samuel was having the time of his life,
16:07
Speaker 1: not thinking remotely about how absolutely miserable it was going
16:10
Speaker 1: to be waking up in now just a few hours
16:13
Speaker 1: when his alarm went off at five am. He was
16:15
Speaker 1: just doing his best not to think about it, you know,
16:18
Speaker 1: enjoy the party.
16:19
Speaker 2: That's it.
16:19
Speaker 1: And so for a while the madness continued until eventually
16:23
Speaker 1: people did get really tired and began leaving, and before
16:26
Speaker 1: long it was just Samuel standing in his now totally
16:29
Speaker 1: destroyed apartment from this party. And so at this point
16:32
Speaker 1: Samuel he looked at his clock and he saw he had,
16:35
Speaker 1: you know, barely two hours before he would have to
16:37
Speaker 1: get up for work. And he's thinking, oh my gosh,
16:39
Speaker 1: this is going to be so awful. I'm going to
16:41
Speaker 1: feel so miserable. But it was totally worth it. What
16:45
Speaker 1: a great party, and so very drunkenly, Samuel kind of
16:48
Speaker 1: stumbled his way over to his bed.
16:50
Speaker 2: He just fell right.
16:50
Speaker 1: Down on top of it, and he fell asleep, and
16:53
Speaker 1: sure enough, you know, just about two hours later, at
16:56
Speaker 1: five am sharp, his alarm went off. Hours later, on
17:00
Speaker 1: Christmas afternoon, a local police officer walked up to Samuel
17:04
Speaker 1: Wardell's front door and knocked. The officer was there because
17:08
Speaker 1: Samuel's boss had called the station when Samuel had failed
17:12
Speaker 1: to show up for work that morning, and this was
17:14
Speaker 1: so out of character for Samuel that right away his
17:17
Speaker 1: boss contacted the police and said, please, someone needs to
17:20
Speaker 1: go check on him and make sure he's okay. And
17:22
Speaker 1: so now the officer waited at the door for Samuel,
17:25
Speaker 1: but when no one answered, he tried the door handle
17:28
Speaker 1: and he found it was locked. But this was a
17:31
Speaker 1: very rickety tiny home, and the officer could tell it
17:34
Speaker 1: would not take much to basically kick the door in,
17:37
Speaker 1: and so after calling out for Samuel a few more
17:39
Speaker 1: times and knocking, you know, pretty loud, and still not
17:42
Speaker 1: getting a response, the officer just stepped back and then
17:45
Speaker 1: kicked the door and blasted it open. And so the
17:48
Speaker 1: officer stepped inside the home and immediately saw Samuel, and
17:54
Speaker 1: when he did, he understood why he had missed work.
17:57
Speaker 1: It would turn out when Samuel went to bed after
18:00
Speaker 1: big party, he forgot to move his bed back into
18:03
Speaker 1: the position that it normally was in. You know, he
18:05
Speaker 1: had moved the furniture around for that boxing match and
18:08
Speaker 1: just didn't put it back, and so instead he wound
18:11
Speaker 1: up going to sleep with his bed all the way
18:14
Speaker 1: across the room under the shelf where he kept his
18:17
Speaker 1: alarm clock. And this was like the worst place for
18:20
Speaker 1: Samuel to fall asleep, because you know, he had set
18:23
Speaker 1: his alarm to go off at five am the following morning,
18:26
Speaker 1: just like he did every day, but his alarm clock
18:30
Speaker 1: was not a normal alarm clock. Samuel had intentionally altered
18:35
Speaker 1: his alarm clock to be way louder than a standard
18:39
Speaker 1: alarm clock. But the way he had done that was
18:42
Speaker 1: fairly unique. He had run a wire between a normal
18:46
Speaker 1: alarm clock and this shelf that had hinges. Basically, the
18:49
Speaker 1: shelf could you know, be situated like this or it
18:51
Speaker 1: could fold down, basically making it flush to the wall
18:54
Speaker 1: so it could hold stuff or be flushed to the wall.
18:56
Speaker 1: And so when his normal wind up alarm clock would
18:59
Speaker 1: go off in the morning and begin to ring, it
19:01
Speaker 1: would begin to vibrate and would sort of move across
19:04
Speaker 1: the shelf, and connected to it was this wire that
19:07
Speaker 1: ran to the hinges, and at a certain point, when
19:09
Speaker 1: this alarm sort of got far enough, it would pull
19:12
Speaker 1: enough to disable the hinges, and the shelf that was
19:15
Speaker 1: situated like this would suddenly fall. And in order to
19:18
Speaker 1: make this alarm really really loud, Samuel had put a
19:23
Speaker 1: ten pound rock on that shelf, so the instant the
19:27
Speaker 1: hinges dropped, that ten pound rock came crashing down and
19:31
Speaker 1: smashed into the floor, causing a huge noise that consistently
19:35
Speaker 1: woke Samuel up. But on the morning after his big party,
19:39
Speaker 1: because Samuel was sleeping now directly under the shelf because
19:43
Speaker 1: he didn't move his bed back, that ten pound rock
19:46
Speaker 1: didn't hit the ground. It fell and smashed directly into
19:50
Speaker 1: Samuel's head and broke his skull. After being discovered by
19:53
Speaker 1: that police officer, Samuel was rushed to a local hospital
19:57
Speaker 1: but later died from his injuries. Hey everyone, just a reminder,
