  to another episode, another creepy, creepy episode of creep cast Oo.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Are you sure you don't want to actually, you know,
• 0:30
  talk about how this is a stretch and fade episode
• 0:33
  or perhaps no crew episode or.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: No no no.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why I'm not going to do
• 0:38
  that is because today we're doing another creepy crab bagoo.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I gotta say I'm actually pretty excited because normally Hunter's
• 0:47
  so unsure about what we're gonna read. He's always like,
• 0:50
  I don't know, do something, what do you think? And
• 0:52
  then he gets on the tolidays like we're doing these
• 0:55
  three videos in this order. Here's the links. Read it like.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Came in with a little bit of confidence today.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I somebody actually they suggested this these three stories on
• 1:10
  a Reddit post and it was the disappearance of Ashley Kansas.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Oh wait, one of our audience members suggested this, this
• 1:18
  is a horrible idea.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's been to will since we've done
• 1:21
  reader's suggestions. Actually, we've been doing a lot of them
• 1:24
  just off of you know, you know, I know it's
• 1:26
  impossible to not talk about one that people haven't probably recommended,
• 1:29
  but it's been a while since we've specifically looked at
• 1:33
  a post and then read what they suggested. So the
• 1:36
  three today are the Disappearance of Ashley Kansas, Ilish Jack,
• 1:41
  and the Pancake Family, which the last two the last
• 1:46
  two sound a little little funky, especially Eilish Jack all right, which,
• 1:51
  as I was saying before we recording, I feel like
• 1:53
  Ilish Jack.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: If I don't get me wrong, Dare I say?
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a story about probably a
• 2:00
  man who visits a child in their bed and just
• 2:04
  looks at him, and it's gonna say something like he
• 2:07
  had no eyes but he stared at me if I
• 2:11
  was a betting man.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I I have no idea what you're talking about. Okay,
• 2:15
  so what the story actually is? You're so stupid right.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Now, you know you look like such an I but
• 2:20
  I want to talk about I want to start with
• 2:23
  the disappearance of Ashley Kansas because I just love these
• 2:27
  kinds of names.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: I really like how this first story is written.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Is written and uploaded by coaster Kid ninety three.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like roller coasters. It's kind of by. It's
• 2:40
  kind of by by jib.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: It's also funny how enthralled I am by just like
• 2:45
  the verb of insert woman's name that apparently is. I'm like,
• 2:51
  that's a damn good title. Wow, the Feeding of Jessica Bunny.
• 2:57
  There's something lay would.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Love that if we came a cross the store at
• 3:00
  that title, you'd be like, we have to read this.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: If I saw a story titled the Feeding of Jessica Bunny,
• 3:05
  would you not be a little bit curious?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, for one, I would assume it was like
• 3:10
  a play on Jessica Rabbit, right.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I think that's where my mind wanted to go.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: But I had to where your mind wanted to go,
• 3:16
  because you were thinking about the word feeding and then
• 3:18
  you're like, oh, I'd like to feed her, and then
• 3:20
  like it's just like your brain implanted image. Yeah, I
• 3:23
  think that's what happened there. But the feeding of X
• 3:27
  y Z could be interesting. I get what you mean
• 3:29
  though about like the hyper specific titles. It feels like,
• 3:34
  I don't know, it feels very direct, you know.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I think I think you're right too.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: We're not gonna get any of this artsy stuff. It's
• 3:39
  gonna be it's gonna be loud. Whatever happens.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: It kind of has a I think you're right where
• 3:44
  it feels like I get like a police report or
• 3:46
  some kind of thing, just feels like it's it's going
• 3:48
  to like almost like a true crime or paranormal kind
• 3:51
  of like, oh, you know, there's like just a level
• 3:53
  of mystique too, So I am looking forward to this.
• 3:55
  It is twelve years ago, so this is prime primo
• 3:58
  no sleep uploads time.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: And once again, if this all sucks, it is the
• 4:04
  fault of for one, the person who posted this is
• 4:06
  the subreddit, but more importantly Hunter for trusting you. That's true,
• 4:09
  So I take blame, and if it does good, then
• 4:14
  it's me for allowing him to do I will accept.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: That as well.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I'm a chronically unhealthy person that's unhappy the majority of
• 4:20
  time in my life.
• 4:21

• 5:57
  Speaker 2: So on that note, the disappearance of Ashley, Kansas. Sometime
• 6:01
  during the night of August the sixteenth, nineteen fifty two,
• 6:04
  a small town of Ashley, Kansas ceased to exist. All right,
• 6:08
  I'm in.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I thought I thought it was about just a woman
• 6:14
  who actually Kansas.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I thought it was about a girl named Ashley who
• 6:17
  was from Kansas.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Wow, It's just that's interesting. A whole town disappearing.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Keep going, I've immediately interested. Okay. At three twenty eight
• 6:26
  am on August seventeenth, nineteen fifty two, a magnitude seven
• 6:30
  point nine earthquake was measured by the United States Geological Survey.
• 6:35
  The earthquake itself was felt throughout the state and most
• 6:37
  of the Midwest. The epicenter was determined to be directly
• 6:41
  under Ashley, Kansas. When state law enforcement arrived at what
• 6:45
  should have been the outskirts of the farming community, they
• 6:49
  found a smoldering, burning fissure in the earth measuring one
• 6:52
  thousand yards in length and approximately five hundred yards in width.
• 6:57
  The depth of the fissure was never determined. After twelve days,
• 7:01
  the statewide and local search for the missing six hundred
• 7:04
  and seventy nine residents of Ashley, Kansas was called off.
• 7:08
  By the Kansas state government at nine point fifteen PM
• 7:11
  on the night of August twenty ninth, nineteen fifty two,
• 7:14
  All six hundred and seventy nine residents were assumed to
• 7:17
  be dead. At two twenty seven am on August thirtieth,
• 7:21
  nineteen fifty two, a magnitude seven point five earthquake was
• 7:24
  measured by the United States Geological Survey. The epicenter was
• 7:28
  situated under what used to be the location of Ashley, Kansas.
• 7:33
  Law enforcement investigated. At five point thirty two am, they
• 7:37
  reported that the fissure in the earth had closed.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Oh that's fun.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: In the eight days leading up to the disappearance of
• 7:44
  the town and its six hundred and seventy nine residents,
• 7:47
  bizarre and unexplainable events were reported by dozens of residents
• 7:51
  in Ashley, Kansas and law enforcement from the surrounding area.
• 7:55
  By the way, that thing we talked about, how these
• 7:57
  titles are indicative of like a police of like a
• 8:01
  very you know, like a cold true crime fiel. Almost
• 8:05
  this this reads exactly like a report. Oh okay, cool
• 8:09
  look agency or something. So I think that's kind of
• 8:11
  the viber getting On the evening of August the eighth,
• 8:14
  nineteen fifty two, at seven thirteen pm, a resident by
• 8:17
  the name of Gabriel Jonathan reported a strange sight in
• 8:21
  the sky above Ashley. The town itself, having no official
• 8:25
  branch of law enforcement, called into the police station of
• 8:28
  the neighboring town of Hayes. Gabril reported what appeared to
• 8:32
  be a quote small black opening in the sky end quote.
• 8:37
  Within the next fifteen minutes, the Hayes police station became
• 8:40
  overwhelmed with dozens of phone calls, all reporting the same phenomenon.
• 8:44
  The phenomenon was never reported by any neighboring communities. A
• 8:49
  decision was made to send a trooper to Ashley to
• 8:51
  investigate in the matter the following morning.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Almost like a setup of a UFO or kind of
• 8:56
  like an alien to me, is what it feels like
• 8:58
  A little bit is a setup. I don't think that's
• 9:01
  what it is necessarily, but I feel like if somebody
• 9:04
  who's reporting stuff in like that, you would almost think
• 9:06
  it's like almost phoenix lights kind of vibe or something
• 9:10
  where multiple people saw this thing and then they darted away,
• 9:14
  except having it be a small black hole in the skies.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: The black opening in the sky's interest at seven fifty
• 9:23
  four am. On the morning of August the ninth, nineteen
• 9:26
  fifty two, Hayes police officer Alan Mace radioed the Hayes
• 9:30
  Police station. He reported that despite following the one way
• 9:34
  road leading into Ashley, he had become lost. According to
• 9:39
  his report, the road quote continued along its normal path,
• 9:42
  but somehow ended up back in Hayes end. Quote. Officer
• 9:46
  Mace went on to add that the road never curved
• 9:49
  or bent in a direction. Nine to fifteen am, seven
• 9:53
  of the town's ten police cars were sent to investigate
• 9:56
  the situation, and all members of the team came to
• 9:59
  the same conclusion. The only road leading into Ashley stopped
• 10:03
  leading into Ashley, but instead led back to Hayes. Phone
• 10:09
  calls continue to pour into the Hayes Police station, all
• 10:12
  reporting that the black opening in the sky continued to
• 10:14
  grow in size. All callers were advised to remain inside
• 10:18
  and do not travel outside unless absolutely necessary. At eight
• 10:22
  seventeen pm, Miss Elaine Canter reported her neighbors mister and
• 10:27
  Missus Milton and their two children, Jeffrey and Brooke, missing,
• 10:32
  reporting a Missus Cannor's phone call. The Milton's attempted to
• 10:35
  leave town in their family car earlier in the evening.
• 10:38
  They never returned. Law enforcement officials from Hayes never reported
• 10:42
  the car or individuals coming up the one way road. Okay,
• 10:46
  this goes hard, so the police are trying to get
• 10:49
  in to Ashleigh, but the road has become non euclidean
• 10:54
  right like they passed that, they're going straight and then
• 10:56
  they wind up back where they started over and over
• 10:59
  the meantime, people who are inside of Ashley trying to
• 11:03
  leave don't come back. At seven thirty eight am on
• 11:06
  the morning of August tenth, nineteen fifty two, phone calls
• 11:09
  from Ashley into the Hayes Police station reported that the
• 11:12
  town was in total darkness. The sun had never risen.
• 11:17
  At ten fifteen am, at the request of Hayes law enforcement,
• 11:20
  a helicopter from Topeka, Kansas, flew over the region in
• 11:23
  which Ashley, Kansas stood. The town was never observed from
• 11:27
  the air. At twelve forty three pm on the afternoon
• 11:30
  of August eleventh, nineteen fifty two, Miss Phoebe Daniel Luski
• 11:35
  called into the Hayes police station. She reported that her
• 11:39
  daughter Erica, had begun to have conversations with her father,
• 11:42
  who died three years prior in a drunk driving accident.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: WOW.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: To add to her concern, Miss Daniel Luski reported that
• 11:49
  Erica was attempting to go outside into the dark to
• 11:52
  quote join them. Over the course of the next twelve
• 11:55
  hours are reported three hundred and twenty nine phone calls
• 11:59
  were placed into the police station, all describing similar phenomenon
• 12:03
  with the children of the town.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it almost seems like something otherworldly, almost
• 12:09
  like a portal of Hell is opening or something. So,
• 12:12
  because do you do you like, whenever you have these
• 12:15
  dead relatives reaching.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Out to these people manipulating them, do you actually believe
• 12:19
  that they're the actual people or do you think that
• 12:20
  they're disguised?
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Are you talking about within the story or like real life? Yeah,
• 12:25
  and the story I thought you were like in real life?
• 12:27
  Do you think the what do you think of?
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Like no, like going aside into the dark to join them,
• 12:34
  But it's like issue being coerced by people pretending to
• 12:37
  be you know, or do you actually think that it's uh,
• 12:41
  maybe like ghost of people or spirits of people in
• 12:43
  that way.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I don't have enough info yet to know if this
• 12:46
  is like malicious or like kind of just.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Well, I guess, I guess just first first impression.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: I guess first impression is that the town is going
• 12:54
  through some kind of like spatial you know, thing where
• 12:59
  maybe maybe like maybe I was right with the Boiled
• 13:01
  One thing, that it's like an unholy rapture, like on
• 13:04
  this specific community, there is a the afterlife is creeping
• 13:08
  in and dragging them in. So then under that impression,
• 13:12
  maybe it is actually lost loved ones.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: It's kind of interesting.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: I could be wrong. It could just be stuff trying
• 13:18
  to tempt them.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't think that there's ever I'm trying to
• 13:21
  I'm trying to think if I was if I was
• 13:23
  a dead if I was a dead man, right, if
• 13:25
  I was a dead guy who died in a drunk
• 13:27
  driving accident, would I talked to what I talked to
• 13:32
  my daughter Erica and be like, hey, I want you
• 13:35
  to come join me into the darkness.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Hey, sweetheart, come out here.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like I feel like i'd like you
• 13:42
  should stay. This sucks, you should just stay away from
• 13:45
  me or whatever.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's true, that's true, but we also don't
• 13:49
  know how corrupted you would be, true or like whatever. Three,
• 13:52
  Because this obviously is like a heavenly presence or whatever,
• 13:56
  so you've become some corrupted lost soul. The reason I
• 13:59
  think maybe it's their actual souls is because if this
• 14:03
  is like an alien instityre or something like that, we
• 14:05
  know where the story ends. We know that the whole
• 14:08
  town disappears. So why would they need to like lure
• 14:10
  kids out of their houses because the house and everything
• 14:12
  else is just gonna be like warp drived in a
• 14:15
  minute anyway.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: No, I mean, the opening, like the fissure opening up
• 14:19
  of the earth does have kind of like a mouth
• 14:20
  of Hell kind of you know, just kind of visual
• 14:25
  vibe to it. But I think it's interesting too, the
• 14:28
  helicopters flying above and it just it can't even see
• 14:30
  the town. It's like almost just totally enveloped in this
• 14:33
  like black crack in the.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Sky blot from the map.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The following morning of August the twelfth, nineteen fifty two,
• 14:40
  the situation became dire. Oh it wasn't ye.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: People's spirits are coming in and there's nothing but blackness outside.
• 14:49
  I think things are getting kind of serious out there.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Hey, yeah, you remember that call we had about that
• 14:53
  town over with you know, the the the looping geometry
• 14:57
  of the roads and the kids joining their lost souls
• 15:02
  in the afterlife, and also people just basically driving into
• 15:05
  the void if they leave town. Well, that was all
• 15:08
  fine and dandy, but something happened last night and now
• 15:10
  we're starting to show concern.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: We'll just give it a couple more days and we'll
• 15:13
  just see what happens.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: We'll see what goes on there.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: So anyway, do you find the typos here also kind
• 15:19
  of charming? I feel like it's kind of charming.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like it's on a typewriter because you can't
• 15:23
  go back and you know, backspace on a typewriter. I mean,
• 15:26
  you can x out, but then the mistakes still there.
• 15:29
  The following morning of August twelfth, nineteen fifty two, the
• 15:32
  situation became dire. During the middle of the night, all
• 15:35
  two hundred and seventeen children in the town of Ashley, Kansas, disappeared.
• 15:39
  Are reported four hundred and twenty one phone calls replacing
• 15:42
  in the Hayes Police department. Unable to be of any
• 15:45
  useful assistance, Hayes Law Enforcement instructed all callers to remain
• 15:49
  inside and to avoid any and all attempts at finding
• 15:52
  the missing children. Man well, that's uh, that's decisively not good.
• 15:59
  I think, did you imagine that two hundred and seventeen
• 16:02
  kids just like gone, and you're already in like a
• 16:05
  weird like Eclipse town or whatever.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: It would definitely feel like.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: It's been night for three days.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I would almost just be like, well, they're coming for
• 16:15
  us next, Like I don't know, like I feel like
• 16:17
  all hope would. I feel like a lot of hope
• 16:19
  would be quickly.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Draining from my veins.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Like I feel like it would be a lot of acceptance.
• 16:25
  I feel like after too long.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the kids disappear and you're like, yeah, that.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Track, Yeah, it'd be awesome.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: It'd be awesome for a couple of days, but then
• 16:32
  you'd be like, it's just kind of a bit weird.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: They're all just gone.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: At five nineteen pm on the evening of August thirteenth,
• 16:43
  nineteen fifty two, Ashley elderly man Scott Luntz reported a
• 16:47
  growing distant fire to the south We're in his description,
• 16:50
  fires seemed to turn the distant black into quote bright red,
• 16:54
  and orange seemed to extend high into the sky quote
• 16:58
  Throughout the rest of the day. Calls can continued in
• 17:00
  stating that the fire, in addition to moving north now
• 17:04
  seemed to quote come out of the black sky. No
• 17:07
  fire was ever witnessed by any of the neighboring communities
• 17:09
  or law enforcement officials.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: So is that trying to insinuate that only he could
• 17:14
  see it.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: No, I think it's saying only people within the town
• 17:18
  could see it us. Yeah.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, the more this goes on, the more that
• 17:24
  I think you're right about it being some kind of
• 17:26
  hell open hell.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. And it's like maybe the children were spared
• 17:31
  for it, like Hell's descending on the town like a

  Speaker 3: Could be I mean, Erica, we didn't.

  died last year. I raised him, says he was a baby.
• 19:27
  It was just me and him.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: I told him to watch for cars. He rode his bike,
• 19:32
  but he never wanted to listen.
• 19:34

  Where where are you now?
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Are you safe?
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: I might just like everyone else if we saw them
• 20:05
  coming from the fields, some people open their doors for them.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: God screaming.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: I don't know what happened to them, but the house
• 20:13
  has caught fire and they caved in.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Laugh. My curtains drawn.

  Speaker 2: Oh, you were doing so good. You're doing so good.

  Speaker 3: Tried, Oh that was great.
• 20:57

  Speaker 1: Mommy, mommy, where are you hiding?
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: Mallam?

  Speaker 4: I sud your mommy.

  Speaker 2: What are they doing to you in there?
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: What the hell's your boy doing? Hello?
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: The following morning, at six fifty five am, the law
• 21:39
  enforcement officials of the Hayes Police Department arrived at the
• 21:42

• 23:27
  And we are now back to the show. You know.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: For a story about just like basically Hell opening up
• 23:32
  and the dead walking the earth again, it also kind
• 23:35
  of seems like, yes they are, I think once again,
• 23:38
  I think you predicted that right of I think it
• 23:40
  is the people, but they're just corrupted.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's like Hell. It's like, you know, the
• 23:45
  soul's the worst parts of them, you know, condemned to hell,
• 23:48
  fire whatever, and then they've been burnt and stuff like that.
• 23:51
  So there's one belief I've heard, like miss not really Christianity.
• 23:57
  This is more like sort of a esoteric extra spirit believe.
• 24:01
  I think's cool is that when you die, it's not
• 24:06
  that you either go to heaven or Hell. It's that
• 24:09
  the good parts of you, the holy parts go to
• 24:11
  Heaven and the wicked base parts of you go to hell.
• 24:14
  So you're effectively separated and half fascinating. And then salvation
• 24:18
  quote unquote is which part your consciousness your thoughts go with? Sure,
• 24:22
  you know which one is more one way or the other. Yeah.
• 24:25
  So it's like everyone that's sent to hell, Like, sure
• 24:28
  it's that person, but it is the evil, It's the bitterness,
• 24:31
  the parts you want to wash out of them. It's
• 24:34
  it's almost like this child that's returned is like this
• 24:36
  part the evil that's been burning for a year, you know,
• 24:39
  like come to find.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Her, yeah, or even just kind of pet cemetery esque
• 24:44
  like you just come back, wrong, you come back?
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the ground, the ground salur Yeah. Yeah.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: So almost like even if even if you were a child,
• 24:52
  that like festering hatred that's probably in every human being
• 24:56
  has just like you, I mean, boiled and marinated over time.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: I do think too.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: As the story goes, I think it's I like that
• 25:05
  it's all from the afterthought and you get that like
• 25:07
  one little preamble at the end that gives you just
• 25:10
  a little peek in, but it doesn't reveal its hand
• 25:13
  too much because I feel like if the more that
• 25:15
  you the more you reveal of that, the more that
• 25:18
  I think hell can become very like, not scary in
• 25:22
  a story sense, but I think that the idea of
• 25:26
  the mystery of hell and the things that hell can
• 25:29
  be can obviously be horrifying. So I think that erode
• 25:32
  that fine line, and it's you know, the length of
• 25:34
  it felt fun too, like it felt like just.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: A nice little like a nice passing car.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: I agree it lost me a little bit at the
• 25:42
  ending with the transcript, with the call yeah yeah, well
• 25:48
  not the Nate like a transcript's fine, but more specifically
• 25:52
  like the mommy, where are you? Because you can do
• 25:57
  the kind of not only I think not only were
• 25:59
  you funny? Yeah, but also it's like I get it,
• 26:02
  you know, I know that it's like a demon son.
• 26:06
  I don't need to be like yeah, mommy, and I
• 26:08
  see you.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: It's like that was creepy and pet cemetery like then
• 26:13
  in the eighties, when ever since then, I feel like
• 26:16
  every movie gets one mommy from me before I roll
• 26:18
  my eyes, because I've never met anyone in my fucking life,
• 26:21
  even as as a child, that's ever said mommy or daddy.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Don't like that already.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: So to me, I'm like, you have like one like
• 26:29
  oh mommy, like you're coercing somebody in.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: You're not walking over that way? What do you mean?
• 26:36
  You've never heard a child called their mom and mom?
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: I have never once heard a child say mommy or daddy?
• 26:44
  Never once?
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, are you have you been around a child? Have
• 26:48
  you seen what you say?
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: A lot? I tried to.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: My cousins have children, and I tried to I'm not
• 26:54
  a big kid person, Like I don't like you know,
• 26:56
  like I don't know.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: People are like, oh they guy, new baby, we gotta go.
• 27:00
  That's not me whatever. They're like, it's his third birthday,
• 27:04
  like none of that. Don't care for any of that.
• 27:06
  To me, I don't even say if I had.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: A child, maybe you're just a bad person.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: That could be that very well could be the case.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: All I know is this you could More So, what
• 27:15
  I'm trying to get at too, is that you can
• 27:17
  say the mommy line wants to deceptively try to like
• 27:21
  lure the person out. But then I think it might
• 27:23
  have been it might have been fun to just see
• 27:26
  that change immediately, so instead of like continuously hitting that
• 27:31
  kind of child trope, of like mommy, whatever, I see
• 27:34
  you and try to be creepy that way. To me,
• 27:36
  it would have almost been creepier if they would have
• 27:38
  dropped the child act, and I guess take took another
• 27:44
  tone with it.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it works, but I think it could
• 27:49
  have worked better. Again, I think overall it's a good story.
• 27:53
  I called it from the beginning with like it's like
• 27:54
  a healthy I think the Sodomicamoor comparison is accurate, like
• 27:58
  for whatever reason, this one specific town is facing judgment
• 28:01
  day sooner than everyone else, right, so it's like the
• 28:04
  children are taken away, hell fire's brought down. I think
• 28:07
  maybe the story'd be a bit more interesting if it
• 28:09
  leaned into that, like what the sins of the town
• 28:11
  might have been. But I like the idea that the
• 28:14
  nearby police try to get in and they can't. I
• 28:16
  like that the ground was like this giant burnt out hole,
• 28:19
  like the entire thing was purified from there, assaulted, and
• 28:22
  then the ground just built over it, almost like it's
• 28:25
  like the hell itself is like cleansing the earth of
• 28:28
  It's like fissure and then moves.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: On to you have a judgment day, just be to
• 28:33
  a certain community is fun because I like the idea
• 28:37
  of you could just be like what if that happens
• 28:39
  to us next? Or like I always enjoy when stories
• 28:42
  have that when you kind of you leave the viewer
• 28:46
  kind of like looking over their shoulder a bit of
• 28:48
  like am I am I going to be next? Am
• 28:50
  I the next victim? Like that's in my opinion, that's
• 28:53
  always a very strong story. That was fun though the
• 28:55
  disappearance of actually can't it's fun.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: It was fun. I enjoyed it. Yeah, anything to make
• 29:00
  you do the moms.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Well, guess what, here's here's the next mommy. The next
• 29:04
  story is called elish Jack.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: I'm looking and I'm on a creepypasta dot com right
• 29:11
  now looking. And what's the first thing I saw above
• 29:13
  the story is two little paragraphs I wanted to see
• 29:16
  to read here. Like many creepasta characters, there was an
• 29:20
  ek frastiic efrastic element.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: What the fuck does ek frastik mean?
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I've actually never heard that word of moment.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: That's a made up word.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Like minikreupaska characters, there was a made up word element
• 29:31
  to elish Jack's creation, meaning that the actual story of
• 29:33
  elish Jack came after or was inspired by the image.
• 29:37
  That story was eventually posted to Creepasta by a user
• 29:39
  name as Elf five thousand on February twenty fifth, twenty twelve,
• 29:44
  once again those twenty twelves, and was presented as a
• 29:46
  first person account of an encounter with elish Jack. Interestingly,
• 29:49
  the original Creepasta was removed by its creator in the
• 29:52
  wake of the original Jeff the Killer story being removed,
• 29:55
  with its author expressing a desire to remove it himself
• 29:58
  before the admins of the site. So I think that
• 30:02
  anytime we can get Jeff the Killer thrown in here,
• 30:05
  which I still think.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Dare I say is?
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: I don't? I don't know if I can say it's
• 30:12
  the worst.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Still, I'm still wondering, Well.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Because squidwards unliving or squidwards is really bad.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: I almost thought.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: That, Well, that was fun.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: That was fun bad you think I think Jeff the
• 30:24
  Killer was.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: I think that's great. Do you remember how hard you
• 30:27
  laugh when he died?
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't be wrong, but I was laughing
• 30:29
  pretty hard with Jeff the Killer too, with the bullies
• 30:31
  and stuff.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: I thought it had a bunch of fun.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: It had a bunch of fun moments versus I don't
• 30:38
  know the thing in the basement that was just unbearable,
• 30:42
  that was just torturous, like you laughing?
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Was that that had that had good moments too? What
• 30:47
  are what are you of? Monster hunter? Huh? Like that?
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: That's undefeated spooky ship And trust me, this is some
• 30:56
  seriously spooky ship.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Whatever you put that thing behind ten locks and keys
• 31:03
  like just such a bizarre wording on stuff.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: But yes, this is my as L five thousand aka
• 31:11
  thunder Slash Joey.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know what the hell that means.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: But this is a very very short story, so I say, well,
• 31:17
  let's just burn through it. Let's let's burn through it.
• 31:20
  Uh and and hope the cringe consumes us.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: I will. I will mention that I have seen this
• 31:27
  character drawn in, so.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: You don't need to you don't need to say that.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Hello, my name is Mitch. I'm here to tell you
• 31:37
  guys about an experience I had. I don't know if
• 31:41
  it was paranormal or whatever stupid words people used to describe.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, it was paranom or whatever stupid fucking words people
• 31:53
  use for supernatural.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: Phenomena like ghost already love, I'm ready to.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: I haven't looked at this story since I was this
• 32:00
  is once again, this has got to be some primo,
• 32:04
  very edgy, like thirteen year old. Oh yeah, well when
• 32:08
  I was twelve, I'm like, this is so good. I
• 32:11
  never I never liked eyelish jack that much, but I
• 32:15
  remember it. I remember it being like favored in the
• 32:17
  same way other stuff was like Jeff the Killer. The
• 32:19
  image was out there, so people made a story around it.
• 32:22
  Same with this. I don't know if it was paranormal
• 32:24
  or whatever stupid words people used to describe supernatural phenomena,
• 32:28
  but after that thing visited me, I believe in that
• 32:31
  paranormal trash.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Now I believe in that paranormal trash. That fucking gunk
• 32:38
  beneath my boot, it's.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Stupid idiot stuff. Yeah, it tried to kill me. It
• 32:43
  tried to eat it tried to eat me alive. I
• 32:45
  actually believe that now.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: I just look the pot.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Now that's great. A week after I moved in with
• 32:54
  my brother Edwin, after my house was foreclosed, I finished
• 32:58
  unpack it. Wait, what's the the structure of that sentence?
• 33:01
  A week after I moved in with my brother Edwin,
• 33:03
  after my house was foreclosed, I finished unpacking that feels
• 33:07
  like one of those sentences you would get when you
• 33:09
  were in the fourth grade, Like, correct the sentence, which
• 33:11
  part should this?
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Also, how old is this person supposed to be that
• 33:15
  his house was foreclosed?
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't know, but this is again, how
• 33:20
  a twelve year old about it?
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, I just assume that's my dad's house
• 33:24
  because obviously I I you know, I I don't have.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: A house because I'm a kid, you know.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: But I've heard the word foreclosed in relation to house.
• 33:32
  You know.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: I heard foreclosure and Happy Gilmour, which is my favorite
• 33:36
  movie of all time.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're reading about it makes it sound like we're
• 33:39
  reading about a fifty four year old man who's on
• 33:41
  his third marriage and.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: A week anyway, he's just paying normal stuff. Stunted hid
• 33:47
  a week after I moved in with.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: My brother Edwin, who's sixty three.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the way you would write that, it says a
• 33:56
  week after my house was foreclosed, I moved in with
• 33:58
  my brother Edwin. It doesn't need to be. E would
• 34:02
  like the idea of me moving in since we had
• 34:05
  not seen each other for ten years, so I was excited. Two,
• 34:10
  the grammar is filling me so I was excited too too. Wait,
• 34:19
  they haven't seen each other in ten years.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: I just actually seriously might be a fifty four year
• 34:23
  old and a sixty three year.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Old be yeah, how old are these people? My gosh.
• 34:29
  I soon fell asleep after I moved in. After These
• 34:34
  are phrases so funny.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: I move in on ult fell asleep after I moved in.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, you mean you went to bed there? Yeah?
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: What you just went to You fell house?
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Fucked? Like? Why mine alien? After that first week, I
• 34:51
  heard rustling noises coming from outside at about one in
• 34:54
  the morning. I thought it was a raccoon, so I
• 34:57
  ignored it and tried to fall asleep. The next morning,
• 35:02
  I told Edwin about it, and he agreed these comments.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: Hey, hey, Edwin, yeah, I think I heard a raccoon.
• 35:14
  You probably did, Okay, all.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Right, hey Edwin, Yeah there was a noise outside. Okay,
• 35:23
  I think it was raccoon. Uh huh do you agree? Yeah? Yeah.
• 35:28
  The next night, however, I thought I heard my window
• 35:32
  opening and a loud thump, as if something entered my room.
• 35:39
  I darted up and looked around my room, but I
• 35:42
  saw nothing. The next morning, Edwin dropped his coffee cup.
• 35:50
  When he saw me, he held up a nearby mirror,
• 35:53
  and I saw myself. I had a large, a large tablin.
• 36:00
  I left you.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Edgwood takes off a comically large gothic mirror off his
• 36:04
  wall adults up to his brother.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: It's like, bigger than he is.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: You look good yourself. You have a large cash and
• 36:15
  you don't have cheek.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: These interactions are so alien. Imagine it's like, oh, hello, brother,
• 36:20
  I haven't seen in ten years, and then the next
• 36:22
  morning's like raccoon yeah, and then they don't talk the
• 36:24
  rest of that.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: How do we know this isn't the author of this
• 36:29
  didn't have the first version of AI or like a
• 36:31
  chat GPT, because this feels like a story written by AI,
• 36:35
  like the way that it's like trying to be human.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Tea would not add this many commas. It's true.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: It would know that that's wrong. All right, it's true.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: That's true. So okay, So to keep you bout, our
• 36:47
  protagonist is in the bed and then he hears a
• 36:50
  thump and then he's like, oh, nothing's here, and then
• 36:53
  unknowingly to him, something cut his face open.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, bad enough to where his brother Edwin had to
• 36:58
  grab a literal mirror off the wall and.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: I put it up, dropping his coffee like shattered on
• 37:04
  the ground. After I was rushed to the hospital, my
• 37:08
  doctor told me that I must have been sleepwalking. But
• 37:11
  then he showed me something that made my blood turn cold.
• 37:15
  He lifted up my shirt to reveal a sewn up
• 37:17
  incision where my kidneys were.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: Ilish.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: Jack took his kidneys, Oh, Shack, took his head, took
• 37:30
  his cadies.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's awesome.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Oh god, I look like I wash.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: Jack fucking like took the guy's kidneys.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: But he's like he sent to be to remember me
• 37:43
  with and cut his cheek for what reason?
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: You already took the guy's kidneys?
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: He took his kidneys and then cut him off the
• 37:50
  cheek so that he would have a plot element to
• 37:53
  be scared of before he then goes to the doctor.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: How did Mitch not wake up?
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Ter this?
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guy cut this son of a bitch open,
• 38:04
  and Mitch is like me, me, me, me.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: But but but he heard a drop in up on
• 38:12
  the window and he was like, oh my god, what
• 38:14
  what's like?
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: That's not that He's probably just one of those track coons, right, edwin, Right,
• 38:20
  he's in the road next door, right, probably okay.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: But that is good, dude. I forgot. I thought I
• 38:28
  hadn't heard the story so long. From what I remember Eilish,
• 38:31
  Jack just kills you or something, right, I forgot about
• 38:33
  the kidney part. That's great.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, my god, I read the next line.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: I stared into his eyes, mind widening.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: You somehow lost your left kidney last night.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: The doctor told me.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: We don't know how though, sorry, Mitch.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: That makes the doctor to be fair, that makes the
• 38:59
  doctor so suspicious.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: We don't know how though, Sorry, match, I don't know what.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Holl you're you're missing your kidney. Oh, that's weird.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: Telling you. It's so funny.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: You're gonna want to see You're gonna.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Want to probably get that figured out.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: That's the health gut. Do you remember In Jeff the Killer,
• 39:20
  Jeff's little brother is like, I stab that kid. The
• 39:22
  cops like, well, that's a year in juvie. It just
• 39:25
  takes them straight to jail.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: I'm the judge and the executioner. You're going to juvie
• 39:28
  for one year.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: This is the healthcare equivalent of that. You're you just lost, Oh,
• 39:33
  you lost your kidney last night. Well that sucks. Sorry
• 39:36
  about that. Oh boy. The next night was my breaking part,
• 39:40
  not losing the kid.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: You can take my left kidney, that's fine, But now
• 39:44
  you've really started to leave me.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: I'm gone too far. Around midnight, I woke up to
• 39:51
  see a truly horrifying sight. You know. A kid saw
• 39:55
  this picture yeah, and was like, this is so cool,
• 39:58
  and he just he wrote this horror He wrote this
• 40:01
  in seven minutes, like the whole thing.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Right, there's definitely a kid to who doesn't understand the
• 40:05
  severity of like he probably heard yeah, because it's kind
• 40:08
  of a meme, right, Oh yeah, they took my kidneys
• 40:11
  or whatever.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: People you know like that.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Was or like or like the whole thing that like, oh,
• 40:14
  you get roofed at a bar, wake up.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: With Yeah, you're a bathtub full of ice and your
• 40:19
  kidneys are gone.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Hever.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So he probably saw that in a movie, because
• 40:22
  I'm pretty sure that's in the movie.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: I know what you did last summer. I'm almost positive
• 40:25
  it is.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: I think it is.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: So he probably saw that and he's like, I have
• 40:29
  your kids, use it's fine when you live. So it's
• 40:31
  like that's step one in this horrior icing process.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a kid saw that, not really realizing like the
• 40:37
  gravity or what that would imply in the real world.
• 40:39
  And stuff is like, oh, it can take an organ
• 40:41
  and you can still be alive. That's cool, that's going
• 40:43
  to the store. Yeah, I woke up to see a
• 40:46
  truly horrifying sight. I was staring face to face with
• 40:49
  the creature.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: They always use the word creature. It's always the word creature,
• 40:54
  never monster, thing being presence. It's always the creature. They
• 41:02
  always say, do you know the word creature was banned
• 41:05
  for a while from r slash two centence horror stories
• 41:09
  really because every yes, because everyone was using the word creature,
• 41:13
  and every story that became a meme. They would just write,
• 41:16
  they'd write two sentence stories that are like, I felt
• 41:19
  a weird presence in my house. It was then that
• 41:21
  I saw the creature. I saw the creature.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: So bad, and I saw the creature.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: People. It became a joke to go on two centence
• 41:35
  horror and just like make something dumb with the word
• 41:38
  creature in it. Like I almost felt like Christmas, except
• 41:42
  I've got no eggnog. Thankfully, I can just milk some
• 41:45
  more from the creature. The family enjoys their milk at
• 41:50
  the table. Little do they know it was harvested from
• 41:53
  my creature.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Them, the majority of them, are literally just milking some
• 41:57
  kind of creature.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: Hey, chef, I called it. At the kitchen, my meal
• 42:01
  began being produced by a creature.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: A chef, yes, chef.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, you get you get the idea of people.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: Just let's keep reading. I just look, we're almost done
• 42:13
  with this.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: We'll get you through. Well, yeah, I want to get you.
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: Done with this fucking eyelish jack bullshit.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, Okay, So I'm having a great tig.
• 42:21
  I was staring face to face with a creature with
• 42:23
  a black hoodie and dark blue mask with no nose
• 42:26
  or mouth, staring down at me. The thing that scared
• 42:31
  me the most was that it had no eyes.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: That would be the most horrifying part of a person
• 42:35
  breaking into your room as them having no eyes. Yeah,
• 42:38
  that would be not wearing a mask that you can't
• 42:41
  see their eyes. That's the scariest part about all this, Just.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: Empty black sockets. The creature also had some black substance
• 42:49
  dripping from its sockets. I grabbed a camera from the
• 42:52
  nearby mantle and took a picture. Immediately after taking the shot,
• 42:55
  the creature lunged at me and tried to claw open
• 42:59
  my chest to get to my lung.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: Of course, of course.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: It was organs. I stopped it by kicking it in
• 43:08
  the face nice as I. As I ran out of
• 43:11
  my room, I grabbed my wallet. I would need the money.
• 43:14
  What do you mean you did the money? Yeah? I
• 43:16
  ran out of my brother's house into the night. I
• 43:19
  eventually ended up in the woods near Edwin's house and
• 43:21
  tripped on a rock.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: Left his brother in there with the guy, Yeah, to lose.
• 43:26
  I guess I want to need this bus ticket.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: I'm glad he grabbed the wallet. You know. That's that's
• 43:31
  something I guess. I fell unconscious and woke up in
• 43:34
  the hospital. My doctor, the same one who treated me before,
• 43:37
  entered the room.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: I have good news and bad news, Mitch. The good
• 43:40
  news is that you had minor injuries and your parents
• 43:44
  are going to pick you up. The bad news is
• 43:46
  that your brother has been killed by some thing.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: Sorry, yes, I've got good news.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: You're all right. Bad news your brother's dead.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: It's just it's it's the fucking has been killed by
• 44:03
  some things. So they know what it is, and then
• 44:05
  and then he just ends up with sorry, sorry about that.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: The idea of the doctor just like he's about to
• 44:13
  go tellimate his brother's dead and he kicks open the door,
• 44:16
  like well, it's one of them good news bad news scenarios. Also,
• 44:21
  what do you mean you're getting picked up by your parents?
• 44:23
  I thought this guy was like, we have.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: No idea how old this man is.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: He has a foreclosed house, had to see his brother
• 44:31
  ten years, but his parents are picking him up.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: It's we have no idea, we have no idea.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: What yeah, we have weird set up stuff that doesn't
• 44:39
  mean anything, like his house got foreclosed on.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: You even have to close thing.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Why can't you just be like, yeah, I went to
• 44:45
  go live with my brother, like to say that his
• 44:47
  house got foreclosed, which is.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Let's finish this last paragraph.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: My parents took me back to Edwin's house to collect
• 44:55
  my remainium belongings, which I did. Upon entering my room,
• 44:59
  I was scared but remained called. I grabbed my camera
• 45:03
  and then stop dead of my tracks. In the hallway
• 45:07
  leading to my room, I saw Edwin's body. What something
• 45:13
  small light next to it? What? Wait?
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: So wait they just left his dead body in the house.
• 45:20
  They just the cops just left.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: The cops left his body. They they can't for some reason.
• 45:27
  We don't even know why. The police showed up to
• 45:29
  the house because he was unconscious outside and Edwin's presumably
• 45:32
  dead in the house. So the cops show up. They're like, Hey,
• 45:35
  this guy dead. That's weird. So they like, take and
• 45:38
  something did it? So they put him. They put his
• 45:41
  brother in the hospital and leave the body.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: I'm guessings to I'm guessing it's supposed to be a
• 45:45
  crime scene, but we have not have not established that
• 45:48
  at all, is what.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: I'm exactly like. It's an empty hat, That's what.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: I'm way it reads as for sure, but I feel
• 45:54
  like he's probably saying that it's I don't know.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: Again, this was written by a child. This is written
• 45:59
  by I saw Edward's body and something small line next
• 46:02
  to it. I retrieved it up and entered my parents' car,
• 46:05
  not mentioning Edwin's corp.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, so wait, not mentioning Edwind's court. So they're
• 46:10
  just like, hey, can you go into Edwone's house even
• 46:11
  though he's dead. So they are we under the impression
• 46:14
  that they don't know that Edwin's dead body's lying there.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: I guess not, Okay, no one knows. I suppose I
• 46:21
  looked at the thing I had picked up and nearly vomited.
• 46:24
  I was holding my stolen half eating kidney. Yes, yes,
• 46:32
  with some black substance on it. Oh yeah, yes, yes.
• 46:39
  Oh my gosh, that's so good. Oh my gosh. He saw,
• 46:45
  he saw his brother's dead body, and he says, there
• 46:48
  was a thing there, So I just pick it up.
• 46:49
  I don't look at what the thing is. I get
• 46:51
  in the car and I look down at it and
• 46:52
  it's my kidney half eating that.
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: This story hurt me.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: That was great, That was so d if you did.
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: There was a dead body.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: Brother's body's left there for some reason. The doctor knows
• 47:06
  that it's there, but no one else, no one else.
• 47:09
  And then he goes and he's like, oh, there's a
• 47:12
  thing there, and he thinks it's like he phrases it,
• 47:14
  like it's a coin or a note, and then he's like,
• 47:16
  it was neither of those things at all. Instead, it
• 47:18
  was an organ, my organ.
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: So here's here's a couple of questions.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: I have.
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: One.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: If there was a dead body and there was an organ,
• 47:26
  would you just assume that it's How would you know
• 47:28
  that it's your kidney? Okay, well just one number one there, right,
• 47:33
  Number two is if so in the hospital, does the
• 47:39
  doctor not tell the family that the other son is dead?
• 47:43
  And then also do they just let the Is the
• 47:46
  family know that?
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: How did the doctor know that the other I don't know.
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: I have no idea.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: All I know is the family is like either delusional
• 47:56
  because they're just like, all right, we'll be waiting here
• 47:58
  in the car, we'll see just grab your stuff and
• 48:01
  Ale had on out.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: For this unidentified fifteen to eighty seven year old man.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: Hmmm, wow, that was terrible. That might have actually been
• 48:10
  my least favorite story we've read.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: That was dude, how it's so funny? Yes, it's so
• 48:16
  it's so bad. It's good. This is like the Room
• 48:18
  of Stories. It's not like that. We've read stories that
• 48:22
  are just boring. You remember the second half of what
• 48:26
  was the being drowned thing?
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: That's that's true. That's true.
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: That's boring. This is a member of that had a
• 48:33
  great time reading this. Yeah, yeah, thank god too. Is
• 48:36
  that you know what?
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: I'll give it credit? They was short, It was very
• 48:39
  very short.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: It was very short, dude, that's so funny. I looked
• 48:42
  down and it was that. I remember being twelve and
• 48:44
  listening to this story and was like, I never liked
• 48:46
  it that much, but I didn't remember it being so bad. Oh,
• 48:50
  that's funny. It went from my lungs. It clearly reached
• 48:52
  for my lungs and then called my brother, and then
• 48:54
  I told the doctor and nobody else, and then it
• 48:55
  had my happy kidney. I think my brother was trying
• 48:58
  to eat my kidney.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: It was lunging at me in one of my it
• 49:00
  was good to steal my lungs.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: I think I think realistically this thing was going to
• 49:03
  be my kidney. If I think I come to the
• 49:07
  same conclusion. I think I got to the conclusion that
• 49:09
  it was trying to eat my kidney.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: I let me to believe that it was going to
• 49:12
  go for my kidneys and then eventually go for my
• 49:14
  lungs and sell it on the black market before dining
• 49:16
  on it before he sells it.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: This story has eight at eight point seven out of
• 49:20
  ten stars on Creepypostas.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: I think that's I refuse to those are fixed. Those
• 49:26
  are Chinese bots that are flooding and giving it.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: I am being honest. I have seen so much poor
• 49:33
  of this. We don't talk back with enough. We don't
• 49:36
  need to talk about that, because yeah I do. I
• 49:38
  need to. Someone's got to be my psychiatrist. Back when
• 49:43
  I was like really in a creepypasta community, I would
• 49:45
  read all like the fans stories and fans been off
• 49:48
  and stuff, and a bunch of them were like weirdly sexual,
• 49:50
  like you know, like snuff like very book talk askue right,
• 49:55
  and then I would be like, people will do cool
• 49:59
  fan art of them. I'd be like, okay, so let
• 50:01
  me just go search creepy pasta fan art and then
• 50:04
  just so much like rule thirty four of Jeff the
• 50:08
  Killers Slenderman Eilish Jack, a lot of a lot of
• 50:12
  young people who had a lot of complicated emotions and
• 50:17
  two good capabilities of drawing, and it just it just
• 50:20
  manifested in a bad way.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: So and there it is. I said, we move over
• 50:24
  to our slash no sleep again, and we we we
• 50:29
  put a nice pin in it today with reading Okay,
• 50:32
  first office is not safe for work.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: So don't know what this is our.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: Audience suggesting an not say for work story. I just
• 50:39
  would never do that. I'm not like that's what I
• 50:42
  thought was gonna happen at the start of this whole thing.
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: Eighteen plus it is. And this one's called The Pancake Family.
• 50:48
  Very I don't the title. Honestly, it gets you pretty good.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: It feels innocent, but it's very feels there's a level
• 50:56
  of maliciousness to it.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: Real quick, I need to read a couple more of
• 50:59
  these two sentences horror stories that I saw while I
• 51:02
  was searching it. I just I need to just put this.
• 51:06
  They said the library was safe and nothing was here.
• 51:09
  I think about how that was a lie. As I
• 51:11
  sit here bleeding out from my missing arm.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine a full two hour podcast with two
• 51:18
  centens horrors?
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: Just me and do this as I know, as I
• 51:24
  know as I fell on my bed.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Please, can we just read The Pancake Family.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: I decided to go on a tour of the Ikea factory.
• 51:41
  Little did I know that I would find the creature
• 51:43
  that lays the ike of meat balls.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: All right, not to say if we work the Pancake Family,
• 51:53
  we're we're giving it.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: Give me one bar well you do that.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: You read it to them, I'm gonna go grab a
• 51:58
  baja blast.
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: No I'm going I'm getting a poplast.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: Like Hunter is so privileged. This guy he hears eyelish
• 52:07
  Jack and he's like, well, I can't believe that physically
• 52:09
  hurt me. It's the worst thing I've heard. He might
• 52:10
  give any drinking a little Did he drive to Taco
• 52:20
  Bell to get a ballja blast? Is that what he means?
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: Coming back? And if there's still two students horror being read.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: I quit. Come on in, have a seat, said the
• 52:28
  dentist who invented the electric chair.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: All right, marsilash, no sleep. And this is uploaded eight
• 52:38
  years ago by AA Peterson. I don't know what A
• 52:42
  Peterson what A stands for, but I'm gonna assume it
• 52:45
  means amazing author.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: Sure, babe, whatever you think, whatever you think is best.
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: I guess it's just between people. Someone's being interviewed.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: So this is kind of another has another kind of
• 52:55
  transcripty feel to it, which should be uh, should be fun.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: And again, if this is too mature or weird and stuff,
• 53:03
  this is Hunter's fault.
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: I take full responsibility.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: That pill. Huh man, I bet I look like a ghost.
• 53:11
  I feel like I've bled out two gallons. What no,
• 53:15
  not a scratch. Sorry to ramble, It's just that I'm
• 53:19
  what's the word for it, detached, strange feeling. Seeing it
• 53:24
  enough times in the field, sort of figured if I
• 53:27
  was ever going to experience myself, then I would have
• 53:29
  experienced it by now. A hell of a thing. I
• 53:32
  feel like I'm floating outside of my body. Just cut
• 53:35
  the cord and I'd float away. Did you see the
• 53:38
  crime scene? Don't. Don't look at the pictures, don't even
• 53:41
  touch the file. You'll thank me. I can't get my
• 53:45
  knie to stop rattling. Is that why you're holding onto
• 53:47
  your coffee like that? I'm shaking the table? Or I
• 53:51
  hold on a second, Let me back up my chair there,
• 53:54
  that's better.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: I've got to go official now, hob Can you confirm
• 53:57
  the record that you've been waving your right to an Attey?
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: No, I'm still not interested in an attorney. I mean,
• 54:05
  I mean yes, yes, I'm waving my rights. Sorry, and
• 54:09
  I'm as sound of mine as i'll ever be.
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: Are you sure? Yes?
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: Let the record show that Detective Hobson Millgate, retired, has
• 54:20
  waved his rights to an attorney.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: I won't need a lawyer after the DA stops puking
• 54:26
  and considers taking it public. They're not showing that to
• 54:30
  a jury.
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: Are you ready to begin?
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: No, but I'll talk anyway.
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: What led you to the crime scene on that night
• 54:40
  in question?
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: Would you believe I was playing in a fishing trip
• 54:44
  before this started? Never mind, hold on, I'm thinking. Sorry,
• 54:50
  just it's hard to organize. It never been on this
• 54:54
  side of the interrogation table before. I guess it started
• 54:59
  with the report order name of bomber. She contacted me
• 55:04
  a week ago by email and claimed that she had
• 55:07
  new information on the Driscoll murders. I was the lead investigator,
• 55:11
  so you know the case had gone unsolved for twenty years.
• 55:14
  Pulled his eyes. Frankly. I thought it was all bullshit
• 55:18
  at first. You know that can be most of the time.
• 55:23
  It's not even on purpose. It's just that everyone thinks
• 55:26
  they know something that will crack a case. Wide open
• 55:30
  theories are easy when you don't have to check them
• 55:32
  against any evidence. The Driscoll murders were a big story
• 55:36
  around these parts, and there was you know, lots of interest,
• 55:39
  lots of press. Over the years. I must have gotten
• 55:42
  a couple hundred shit theories, but none of them panned
• 55:45
  out when I retired. I hated the investigation over to
• 55:49
  Detective Carol, but I didn't want him to be bothered.
• 55:53
  I know he's a busy guy, you know, with the
• 55:54
  recent gang activity and whatnot, So I figured i'd check
• 55:58
  it out as a courtesy. I wasn't expecting it to
• 56:01
  go anywhere. I met her for lunch at per Year's Cafe.
• 56:07
  It's a good looking, blonde gal, professional, so she didn't
• 56:11
  fit the typical profile of a hoaxer or some conspiracy theorist.
• 56:16
  Not that I put too much faith in profiles, but
• 56:18
  you know, she also might have been one of those
• 56:20
  creepy gals that gets off on death. God knows, I've
• 56:24
  dealt with those two. I still thought she might be
• 56:27
  pulling my leg, or maybe she had been fooled too.
• 56:30
  But she had a file with her and it looked legit.
• 56:35
  It contained what appeared to be a confession by the Driscoll.
• 56:38
  Well he wasn't a murderer, was he. I do really,
• 56:44
  like really wish he had been, though, you know, like
• 56:48
  like it would have been so much better for everyone
• 56:51
  if it was.
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: Can you please phill us in on relevant details of
• 56:54
  the drist School case, Ah, let's see, it would have.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: Been years ago. Now thinking of all those years, I
• 57:04
  mean twenty damn years. That's that's a long time to
• 57:11
  be h.
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: Take your time home.
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, thanks. The Driscols were a family of six
• 57:20
  out in the suburbs, upper middle class. Father was an attorney,
• 57:25
  mother ran her own business selling pottery out of the house.
• 57:30
  Let's see, four children, all high school agor below. They
• 57:36
  were good kids, honor roll, no criminal records of any
• 57:39
  kind to speak of. The oldest son was caught smoking
• 57:44
  dope at his high school once, but nothing much besides that,
• 57:48
  just the typical stuff you find when you look at
• 57:50
  people too closely. They disappeared. I think it was October thirteenth,
• 57:56
  nineteen ninety four. No trace of the bodies. The mystery,
• 58:03
  and seeing as how it was right around Halloween, is
• 58:07
  probably why the press went so crazy. You still see
• 58:11
  it show up on some of those unsolved mystery shows.
• 58:14
  The whole family disappeared and no one saw a thing,
• 58:17
  No one knew where they went. A neighbor logged sound complaint,
• 58:23
  which is how we got involved in the first place.
• 58:26
  There was an alarm going off and they figured it
• 58:29
  might be an intruder or something. We did s patched
• 58:33
  the vehicle. When no one answered the door, the patrolman
• 58:37
  went in to investigate. So yeah, there were obvious signs
• 58:43
  of a struggle in the youngest daughter's bedroom. The bed
• 58:47
  had been flipped over and the sheets were torn off.
• 58:52
  The alarm was a carbon monoxide detector found elevated concentrations
• 58:57
  of carbon monoxide in the fabric for all the bed
• 59:00
  spreads except the youngest daughters. We wouldn't have known to
• 59:05
  look without the alarm, So anyway, the neighbor indicated the
• 59:10
  alarm had been sounded for over a day and he'd
• 59:14
  been unable to get anyone to answer the door during
• 59:17
  that time. We also found several aluminum canisters and some
• 59:22
  hoses in a dumpster a few blocks away. At the time,
• 59:27
  we assumed the driscolls had been gassed and disposed of
• 59:31
  at a different location, excepting, of course, the daughter who
• 59:36
  woke up at the end and put up a struggle.
• 59:41
  So yeah, as you know, the investigation gave no leads.
• 59:47
  So real quick pause. This is saying that all of this,
• 59:53
  like the disappearance, began with the neighbor calling about an
• 59:57
  alarm going off, right, Yeah, yep, So that is, so
• 1:00:01
  they go, they just appeared there when the alarm goes off,
• 1:00:05
  there's like a carbon monoxide thing in all the rooms
• 1:00:08
  except for the youngest daughters. And then that there was
• 1:00:12
  never a trace found after that, and that's when it
• 1:00:14
  became a big true like an unsolved mystery type thing. Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: Also the shakiness of this officer, even in the way
• 1:00:25
  that they wrote the text so far, you do you
• 1:00:27
  find him to be Do you think he's shaken up
• 1:00:30
  or do you feel like it's like an unreliable narrator.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: I think he's reliable. I think whatever we're going to
• 1:00:35
  get to, whatever has been discovered recently, has like haunted him. Sure,
• 1:00:40
  I think that's where it's go I think, like because
• 1:00:42
  he keeps being like, well at the time, it wasn't
• 1:00:45
  or like well back then we didn't know anything, and
• 1:00:48
  he's made that one line that's like I really wish
• 1:00:50
  he just murdered them, right, Yeah.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: And the shakiness of his voice of an experienced detective
• 1:00:57
  being that I don't know, shaken and unprofessional in a
• 1:01:01
  situation like this feels like he definitely.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's twenty years ago when we worked the case,
• 1:01:08
  so you know, he's been working murder cases for twenty years.
• 1:01:10
  You think this guy would see everything, and now he's
• 1:01:12
  like man, I wish he was just a murderer. That
• 1:01:14
  would make this a lot easier, right, h back into character.
• 1:01:22
  Of course, our first thought was that the father did it.
• 1:01:26
  We checked it out, but he didn't have any kind
• 1:01:29
  of motive, no leads to follow up on. Same with mom. Uh,
• 1:01:34
  surviving family checked out clean two. Father had a few
• 1:01:40
  clients who might have had motive, but the means weren't there.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: He was a divorce lawyer, but not for anybody who
• 1:01:47
  could have taken out an entire family without leaving evidence.
• 1:01:50
  There's a chemistry teacher who lived three blocks away and
• 1:01:53
  we investigated him for a while because of the canisters,
• 1:01:57
  but he alibied out, so clean there. Same with the
• 1:02:02
  dentist who lived nearby. The wife had an online flirtation
• 1:02:07
  with some kid out in England, but nothing adulatrous, and
• 1:02:11
  he wasn't even in the country at the time of
• 1:02:14
  the murder, so that's out. We settled unhappily on the
• 1:02:19
  idea of a random killing artist. Pieces of shit to
• 1:02:24
  catch when there's no pattern like that, You know, it's
• 1:02:27
  just one and done. We must have sunk tens of
• 1:02:30
  thousands of man hours into this case chasing down leads.
• 1:02:34
  But yeah, yeah, nothing ever came of any of it.
• 1:02:38
  We did track down the canisters, they were stolen from
• 1:02:41
  a laboratory about ten miles away. There was no security footage.
• 1:02:47
  We couldn't find any leads on the thief, and after
• 1:02:51
  six months with no repeat attacks, the investigation went cold.
• 1:02:55
  So the Driscolls had been knocked out and abducted. Like
• 1:03:00
  I said, no one ever found the bodies. Who was
• 1:03:03
  to say they hadn't just you know, run off until well, well,
• 1:03:11
  you know, I'd rather only talk about that once.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: What can you show us about how the confession wound
• 1:03:19
  up with Miss Bomber.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: Well, she'd been following the case for some years, both
• 1:03:25
  personally and as a reporter. Like I said, it captured
• 1:03:30
  the imagination of a whole lot of people, even seemingly
• 1:03:34
  normal folks thought it could have been aliens, ghost gamons,
• 1:03:37
  or you know whatever. Miss Bomber published a retrospective on
• 1:03:42
  the murders given the twenty year anniversary. It caused a
• 1:03:49
  sort of renewed interest which happened from time to time
• 1:03:54
  as usual, I declined to comment, citing, you know, lack
• 1:03:57
  of new evidence. What did I have to say? I
• 1:04:01
  remembered her asking for my quote, though, which is why
• 1:04:03
  I accepted the lunch meeting. After publication of the article,
• 1:04:08
  Miss Bomber claimed that she had been sent a file
• 1:04:13
  she wished to have me authenticate. The most pertinent part
• 1:04:17
  of the file was a confession. I assured Miss Bomber
• 1:04:21
  that such a false documents are not uncommon, especially on
• 1:04:24
  alder cases like this, you know, and that I'd personally
• 1:04:28
  heard two dozen confessions of the driscal murders. You know,
• 1:04:31
  kind of just becomes standard fair at some point. But
• 1:04:35
  she was insistent. Once I felt she wasn't trying to
• 1:04:39
  pull off a hoax, or you know, she wasn't getting
• 1:04:42
  off on the idea of talking about a murder, I
• 1:04:46
  agreed to the meeting. So she stated that the confession
• 1:04:50
  had been mailed to her in the same envelope she
• 1:04:53
  showed to me when we met for lunch.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: Can you describe its content?
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, old newspaper clippings outlining the progress of my investigation.
• 1:05:06
  They seemed appropriately yellowed, so I guess they were, you know,
• 1:05:10
  from the Trophy Book of the perpetrator. There were also
• 1:05:13
  six photos alleging to be of the individual members of
• 1:05:18
  the Driscoll family, as well as several other photos of
• 1:05:22
  the facility where they had been taken. Look at that.
• 1:05:32
  My hands won't stop shaking. See, I'm trying as hard
• 1:05:37
  as I can, and I can't make it happen. I'll
• 1:05:40
  I'll have to ask the the paramedic for a sedative.
• 1:05:43
  I guess when I'm done with the statement. I don't
• 1:05:46
  think I'm going to sleep otherwise. No, No, I'm I'm fine.
• 1:05:51
  I'm fine for now. I don't want anything to interfere
• 1:05:55
  with my recollection, don't want to mess with the recording
• 1:05:57
  and all. I'm fine, But just carried it around in
• 1:06:01
  my head is like a sorry, sorry, I'll stay focused. Yeah,
• 1:06:07
  so the photos were of the Driscoll family. Of course,
• 1:06:15
  at the time, I didn't know that the photos had
• 1:06:18
  aged poorly, and they could have been of anyone. It
• 1:06:25
  was hard to distinguish features. However, given the elaborate nature
• 1:06:30
  of the file, I figured it did warrant further luck.
• 1:06:37
  After the confession letter, well, it was brief, gave an address.
• 1:06:44
  That's the first thing I noticed. I couldn't locate the
• 1:06:46
  address online, which meant it had to be old. The
• 1:06:50
  confession letter said stop printing lies. Never killed anyone, just
• 1:06:54
  took a while to get them ready for breakfast, and
• 1:06:58
  there was no signature. I oh, I just remembered something.
• 1:07:03
  Damn it. Yeah, yeah, that's right. We got sent a
• 1:07:05
  breakfast menu a month after they disappeared. After the disappearance, Uh,
• 1:07:09
  someone had drawn a red circle around a picture of pancakes. Yeah. Yeah,
• 1:07:15
  the letter said they're not dead, they're getting ready for breakfast.
• 1:07:20
  We put it in the junk lead file. Damn it.
• 1:07:24
  We yeah, yeah, yeah, getting ready for breakfast.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: Detective Millgate, do you need a moment?
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, how could I have known? You know, we
• 1:07:40
  tried to track down that menu, you know, we could.
• 1:07:43
  We could never find out where to come from, so
• 1:07:46
  it wasn't any place local, and any of the identifying
• 1:07:49
  information we could use track down where the menu came
• 1:07:52
  from had been cut out, So you know, I don't know,
• 1:07:55
  I don't if we did have it, I don't know
• 1:07:57
  what else could have been done. I just uh, I
• 1:08:04
  I yeah.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: Why did you decide to personally investigate the location mentioned
• 1:08:08
  in the letter?
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: Sorry, I wanted to make sure that it wasn't a hoax.
• 1:08:20
  I still wasn't convinced. I had twenty years of people
• 1:08:24
  sending me fake evidence. I guess maybe the case kind
• 1:08:29
  of captured my imagination too, you know. I always figured
• 1:08:33
  one day I'd think of something that I'd overlooked, and
• 1:08:37
  I saw the whole thing. But I felt I felt
• 1:08:40
  unbelievable to have someone dump the answer in my lap.
• 1:08:45
  I needed to see it with my own two eyes.
• 1:08:49
  So yeah, Miss Barmer had pinpointed the location with city records,
• 1:08:56
  but neither of us was sure if it was still there.
• 1:09:00
  So it was an abandoned an abandoned industrial building. Last
• 1:09:06
  time it had a valid mailing address was fifty years ago,
• 1:09:10
  so that tracks on the address from the confession. It
• 1:09:15
  might have caved in for all we knew. I think
• 1:09:19
  I also wanted to be the one to crack it,
• 1:09:21
  you know, Whether or not it was dumped into my lap,
• 1:09:24
  that case hung over my head for twenty years. Ms
• 1:09:29
  Bomber and I agreed to meet there on the following morning.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: Can you describe the crime scene?
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, So it was an industrial building as I
• 1:09:46
  stayed in, approximately one hundred one hundred twenty feet long.
• 1:09:53
  Maybe forty four to five feet wide. It was a
• 1:09:57
  wooden structure, and at first the condition seemed to match
• 1:10:03
  the neighboring buildings. However, I noticed that the facade of
• 1:10:09
  it had been recently patched in a few locations. Uh.
• 1:10:14
  Further investigation also revealed that the entrance to it had
• 1:10:18
  been chained and locked and uh. But my understanding was
• 1:10:24
  that it used to be a sheet metal shop at least.
• 1:10:31
  I'm sorry, excuse me there garbage? Can I think I'm
• 1:10:34
  gonna throw up? Yeah? Thank you? We whatever gagon noises yet? Yeah?
• 1:10:46
  Could you throw up on demand for me? I'd be
• 1:10:47
  appreciated this projectile all over stuff? Thanks, hunter, appreciate you.
• 1:10:55
  Sorry I thought I was empty. No, I want to
• 1:10:59
  get done with then. I'm gonna want that sedative. I
• 1:11:03
  could smell something from inside the building, very faintly. I
• 1:11:11
  figured that would count as probable cause, not that I
• 1:11:14
  need it as a civilian. But you never forget the
• 1:11:19
  way that a corpse smells, you know. Uh. They were
• 1:11:26
  they were bad enough that they had that same smell
• 1:11:31
  like a corpse. That is. I I hadn't forgotten how
• 1:11:36
  to pick a lock, so I let myself inside, you know,
• 1:11:40
  I really, I really do wish that they had just
• 1:11:44
  been corpses. And I really, like I said earlier, I
• 1:11:49
  really do wish that he had been a serial killer.
• 1:11:54
  I do please say that, you please say you believe me.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 3: I do, I do. Can you describe the interior of
• 1:12:04
  the building.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Uh yeah, I'm trying
• 1:12:11
  to focus through this. I apologize, I'm sorry, I am.
• 1:12:15
  It's just that I'd like to go asleep after this
• 1:12:19
  for a really long time. Is that par Is? That
• 1:12:24
  paramedic here is? Does he have a setative? Ready? Okay?
• 1:12:28
  Thank goodness. Okay, So get through it, Get through it,
• 1:12:31
  Get through it. The warehouse had not been as abandoned
• 1:12:38
  as we were previously led to believe. The interior had
• 1:12:45
  a hallway, and in this hallway there was like, there's
• 1:12:48
  six rooms and the construction was old, but visibly newer
• 1:12:55
  than the rest of the building. So sort of an addition,
• 1:13:00
  the walls between each room had been soundproofed, so there
• 1:13:04
  were no windows to the outside or doorways between the
• 1:13:07
  rooms themselves, so the only access was through the hallway.
• 1:13:12
  None of the rooms could get to each other and
• 1:13:13
  see each other, hear each other. I tried to make
• 1:13:19
  Miss Bombered leave at that point, because you see, the
• 1:13:27
  smell was stronger inside and you could feel it. The smell.
• 1:13:35
  It was like a grit stuck in your nose. It's
• 1:13:39
  like feeling it's like sand, like grits of sand all
• 1:13:42
  over your skin. The rooms. The rooms contained presses, hydraulic presses.
• 1:13:51
  They were four foot by eight foot, these like custom presses.
• 1:13:56
  I couldn't figure out what they were at first because
• 1:13:59
  they were hovering over what looked like hospital beds. So
• 1:14:06
  there were IV bags in each room, as well as
• 1:14:12
  other medical equipment. That's how That's how we kept them
• 1:14:18
  alive for so long. Of course, I think I've kind
• 1:14:23
  of seen I think I'm starting to see black spots
• 1:14:25
  right now.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: Do you need to take a break.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: The idea of having to start this again is worse
• 1:14:34
  than the idea of finishing it.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: Then please describe your next course of action.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: The building was obviously an active crime scene. I had
• 1:14:45
  no doubt at this point I was in the layer
• 1:14:49
  of what I believed to be what I thought was
• 1:14:51
  a serial killer. I tried to tell Miss Bomber to
• 1:14:56
  leave several times. She refused on the grounds that it
• 1:15:01
  would not be right to leave me on my own.
• 1:15:05
  There wasn't much to make an issue out of it.
• 1:15:09
  My opinion of her was that she was a bit nosy,
• 1:15:12
  but basically all right, and I didn't think she would
• 1:15:15
  be a liability if she stayed.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 3: Out of my way.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: So I had to make to make a judgment call
• 1:15:22
  as to whether or not I should proceed on my
• 1:15:24
  own case the family was somehow, you know, impossibly still
• 1:15:28
  alive and perhaps in danger, or if I should leave
• 1:15:31
  and call for backup. I told my wife where I
• 1:15:36
  was going previously, so I knew my absence would be
• 1:15:39
  noted and reported if the worst were to happen and
• 1:15:43
  neither of us could get cell phone reception. I'm sorry,
• 1:15:46
  I'm I'm rambling again. It was then that I heard,
• 1:15:54
  I mean, really really, it wasn't even a gasp. It
• 1:15:57
  was like a gasp, but not really. You know, if
• 1:16:00
  I don't want to describe it any more than that
• 1:16:03
  there was a sound, I'll say that it drew my
• 1:16:07
  attention further on and I had to act, and that's
• 1:16:10
  all that matters. There were some stairs at the very
• 1:16:16
  far end of the warehouse, descending to a basement. I
• 1:16:21
  told miss bomber to remain behind and pulled my service revolver.
• 1:16:28
  I had a flashlight on my person as well, and
• 1:16:30
  turned it on as I descended into the basement. The
• 1:16:35
  basement had been hand dug, maybe even over the course
• 1:16:39
  of the entire twenty year disappearance. For all I know,
• 1:16:42
  I don't know. The floor was dirt, and there was
• 1:16:45
  a tunnel that retreated back far enough that it had
• 1:16:48
  to be supported with struts at intervals. So yeah, then
• 1:16:56
  my flashlight. When my flashlight illuminated the uh, the stack,
• 1:17:07
  I wish they'd been dead. I wish he'd been a
• 1:17:12
  serial killer. Please take a moment after after I recovered.
• 1:17:18
  My first thought. My first thought was, honestly, it was
• 1:17:24
  I thank God that they're dead. Uh huh. I'm I'm
• 1:17:31
  sixty four years old, for God's sakes, I'm not. I'm
• 1:17:35
  not a young man who can forget things anymore like
• 1:17:38
  I used to. You know, when you're young, you have
• 1:17:41
  this sense that you're you're like invincible and you're you're
• 1:17:45
  never gonna die. I don't have that to protect me anymore.
• 1:17:50
  I mean, look at me whining when they had that
• 1:17:54
  done to them. It's my fault. I should I should
• 1:17:58
  have found them, gave them. I don't know. I don't
• 1:18:02
  know how somehow anyhow.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, hob, I'm sorry. I've got to ask. Can
• 1:18:08
  you describe the scene?
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, uh I can. I didn't know what I
• 1:18:17
  was looking at at first. I mean, hell, I still don't.
• 1:18:22
  It was well, it was a stack maybe maybe two
• 1:18:28
  feet thick. From the from the stink and the coloring,
• 1:18:34
  it was obviously made of flesh. I thought maybe he
• 1:18:38
  had hacked them up, you know, and didn't like stack
• 1:18:42
  them up in pieces like that. That would have been
• 1:18:45
  bad enough. But the first thing that alerted me to
• 1:18:49
  the truth was the eye. Eyeball on top of the
• 1:18:57
  stack was a perfectly round in the middle of a
• 1:19:02
  socket that had been distorted to the size of a saucer. Uh.
• 1:19:10
  That's why I realized what I was looking at. Uh.
• 1:19:14
  Twenty years of torture basically is uh is what I
• 1:19:17
  was looking at. H. He had the entire Driscoll family
• 1:19:24
  under those presses for twenty years. He was keeping them
• 1:19:30
  alive on an ivy drip, increasing the pressure on them
• 1:19:35
  so so very slowly that their bodies had time to
• 1:19:38
  adapt until they had been flattened like well, I mean
• 1:19:44
  like pancakes. He squished them by about a quarter inch
• 1:19:50
  every year for twenty years. Then he had he'd pulled
• 1:19:56
  them out when they were too broken, wretched move without
• 1:20:01
  any chance of recovery. And then he just stacked them
• 1:20:04
  on top of each other. I have I don't know,
• 1:20:09
  I have no idea for. I don't think I I
• 1:20:13
  don't want to know what for. And I was still thinking,
• 1:20:18
  thank god, they're all dead when the one on top
• 1:20:24
  started gasping again.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 3: What did they say?
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: Well, they didn't say anything at first, nothing at first,
• 1:20:34
  it couldn't speak without help. I think it. I think
• 1:20:42
  it would have been avery, driscal Not that I could
• 1:20:47
  tell much about the gender or the age. But the
• 1:20:50
  hair was blonde. Where there was hair, at least, the
• 1:20:54
  head was a mess of scars. I think the son
• 1:20:57
  of the bitch who did it must have removed hearts
• 1:21:00
  of their skulls. I've got no idea how he got
• 1:21:05
  their heads so flat, otherwise, you know, not as flat
• 1:21:10
  as the rest of the bodies, sure, but but flat.
• 1:21:14
  Who they all knows how their brains handled that. Their
• 1:21:18
  lips were like they were punctured by their own teeth
• 1:21:22
  everywhere after the precess had flattened out their noses. I
• 1:21:26
  guess Avery was fourteen when she disappeared. Huh, I've I've
• 1:21:38
  stopped shaking. Wow, that's damn weird. You know, the way
• 1:21:43
  the way our bodies are, the way our bodies work,
• 1:21:45
  isn't it? What else? There was a machine. It was
• 1:21:52
  a sort of pump. I followed a hose with my
• 1:21:55
  flashlight and realized everyone in the stack was hooked up
• 1:21:58
  to that pump. I don't think they could breathe on
• 1:22:02
  their own, you know, not. After a while, there simply
• 1:22:07
  wasn't enough volume for their lungs to inflate. There was
• 1:22:13
  some sort of opening cut right into each of their chest,
• 1:22:17
  and there was a switch on the pump. Do know
• 1:22:22
  why pressed it? That was in a panic. I wanted
• 1:22:26
  to do something. Maybe some stupid part of me thought
• 1:22:29
  that if I switched it on, they would inflate and
• 1:22:33
  be okay, you know. So I switched it and it
• 1:22:43
  increased the volume of air to the topmost hose, and
• 1:22:49
  I could hear the pump working harder, which is when
• 1:22:53
  Avery started to scream. He begged me to kill him.
• 1:23:02
  He said other things too. He didn't He didn't make
• 1:23:06
  much chance. He kept yelling pane of error over and
• 1:23:11
  over again. Something about the family too, didn't understand it.
• 1:23:19
  He was in pain, and I hope, or at least
• 1:23:23
  I would hope that he had gone insane several years previously.
• 1:23:29
  Oh my god, yeah, yeah, my thoughts exactly funny enough.
• 1:23:37
  I mean, I didn't know what to do. Uh. He
• 1:23:40
  wouldn't stop screaming. I think he was convinced I was
• 1:23:45
  his torturer. A look, a closer look at his eye
• 1:23:50
  revealed that it was mostly a mess of white scar tissue.
• 1:23:53
  He was blind as a bat. You know that that
• 1:23:55
  think quit working a while ago. You know, I spoke
• 1:23:59
  with some bird victims once, and they told me that
• 1:24:03
  they managed to find meaning and purpose again after a while.
• 1:24:08
  And that makes sense. That makes sense for them. I
• 1:24:10
  get it. But I don't know how anyone in the
• 1:24:12
  Driscoll family could have done that. You know. Uh, I
• 1:24:17
  said my name. I told him I was a detective.
• 1:24:20
  I told him I was there to help. I repeated
• 1:24:23
  it over and over again, knowing, of course, that there
• 1:24:26
  was nothing that anyone anywhere could do to help. This
• 1:24:31
  bomber arrived. She was drawn by the sound before she
• 1:24:36
  saw the stack She told me that I had screamed
• 1:24:39
  and she had come to help, But I don't remember
• 1:24:41
  having done that, but nevertheless she had arrived, so I
• 1:24:45
  must have. Then she saw the stack and screamed, But
• 1:24:51
  I was intent. I was like looking at Avery driscoll
• 1:24:55
  uh and he he was able to hear, so he
• 1:25:01
  became lucid for a few moments, and it was strained
• 1:25:04
  to understand what he said. But I'll never forget what
• 1:25:10
  I think he said. You know, he said something to
• 1:25:15
  the effect of, please kill me. It hurts. I don't
• 1:25:21
  want to be a monster. Kill me, kill me. Tell
• 1:25:24
  my family I died a long time ago. I don't
• 1:25:29
  know if they're still looking for me. Don't let them
• 1:25:32
  know what happened to me. Please kill me. He could
• 1:25:41
  still cry somehow, and he did, although his tear ducts
• 1:25:46
  were they were two deformed for it to be noticeable.
• 1:25:50
  But I knew, I knew what he was doing. I
• 1:25:55
  should have forced miss Bomber to leave. That's the only
• 1:25:59
  act in the matter which I regret more than failing
• 1:26:02
  to solve the case, you know, twenty years ago, not
• 1:26:08
  just for her own's sake. But you know what she
• 1:26:10
  did next. I don't think she could have wounded them
• 1:26:17
  any more deeply if she tried. She took away the
• 1:26:22
  last comfort any of them in the stack had. So
• 1:26:26
  you see, they had not been able to speak to
• 1:26:28
  one another for twenty years. And uh so she looks
• 1:26:36
  at them and she says, that's all of them, isn't it.
• 1:26:40
  That's the entire Driscoll family. They're all alive in there,
• 1:26:44
  the whole family. So for twenty years to understand why
• 1:26:48
  that meant so much. For twenty years, each member of
• 1:26:50
  the Driscoll family had been unaware that their fellow inmates
• 1:26:55
  were the other members of the family. You know. So
• 1:26:59
  they were blind, like I mentioned where, they couldn't hear
• 1:27:03
  each other. So they'd all been holding out hope that
• 1:27:07
  their family was okay, all of them probably dreaming someone
• 1:27:11
  out there, you know, loved them and was free from suffering.
• 1:27:16
  Do you know what the screams of six people tortured
• 1:27:18
  over two decades, smashed down to a width of four
• 1:27:22
  inches sounds like when they're all stacked on top of
• 1:27:25
  one another. It is, I'll tell you what sounds like.
• 1:27:28
  It sounds like the gates of hell swinging open.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 3: I think that's enough. Detective Millgate.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: Well not not yet actually, So it was my mistake.
• 1:27:41
  I should have tried harder, you know, I tracked down
• 1:27:44
  that lead. Maybe that's what they meant, you know, screaming
• 1:27:47
  that it was my air. So it was my responsibility.
• 1:27:55
  So I did the only thing I could do to
• 1:27:57
  help them at this point, I shot them Mercy's hard,
• 1:28:04
  but I owed it to them. I'm I'm the one
• 1:28:08
  that failed to save them. So it only took one bullet,
• 1:28:14
  you know, to go all the way through. I emptied
• 1:28:17
  the revolver though, you know, I wanted to make sure
• 1:28:21
  they didn't linger another second. They didn't have to to,
• 1:28:26
  you know, to give them that final piece. It was
• 1:28:29
  the only kindness I had to give him. So we
• 1:28:33
  left and we called for back up. After that, Neither
• 1:28:39
  Miss Bomber nor I wish to remain with the bodies.
• 1:28:43
  I like to not to follow the crime scene investigators
• 1:28:46
  back into the basement. I asked if I could make
• 1:28:47
  my statement and leave, and after one of them saw
• 1:28:50
  what I had seen, they agreed. That sedative I talked about,
• 1:28:56
  can I have that now?
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, of course, okay, all right, cool, thank you, please
• 1:29:06
  show please show in the paramedic I'll roll up my sleeve.
• 1:29:11
  My wife's diabetics, so I'm well aware of the routine. Oh,
• 1:29:16
  please make sure you have the same courtesy available for
• 1:29:18
  miss Bomber. She seemed to have it worse than me afterwards,
• 1:29:22
  at least that poor woman couldn't even throw up or cry.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: Of course, do you know where she is now? She
• 1:29:33
  told the lead of the crime since she was going home,
• 1:29:34
  But we have been able.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 3: To reach her.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: Well did you try the paper? Which paper? Her paper?
• 1:29:43
  The Daily World?
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: Are you sure there's no one the last name Bomber
• 1:29:50
  on stuff with the Daily World?
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: And with that we have the end of the story.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 3: Soul Bomber was the one who did it, you think? Huh?
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: I think that's the implication. Or she was like an
• 1:30:00
  accomplice or something like that.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, her last name was Bane, Oh oh, oh oh
• 1:30:06
  oh Bomber.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what was it? Bomber bene of air Bomber. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:30:13
  didn't put it together.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's just why I read in the comments there.
• 1:30:18
  What'd you think of that one?
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: Uh? It was fun. I enjoyed reading it.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 3: A lot of detective stuff today. I love like transfers
• 1:30:24
  back and forth.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: A lot of yeah, yeah, a lot of that in
• 1:30:28
  Eyelis Jack.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: That and Eyelis Jack, which you can't even you can't
• 1:30:31
  put a price on gold.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: You can't see now now you're getting it. How do
• 1:30:36
  I feel about that one?
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's it has an interesting
• 1:30:42
  I think it.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: I mean it was.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 3: I liked it.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: I think that it's fun to have the people pressed
• 1:30:48
  together like a weird pancake thing, even though yeah, I
• 1:30:50
  have no idea what you would get.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know what you would get out of that.
• 1:30:53
  It's kind of like a weird torture or whatever.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: But maybe a bit more of the investigative side, or
• 1:31:00
  maybe even it would have been fun to have it
• 1:31:02
  not be a transcript and just be like a log
• 1:31:05
  or something like you're following the person on the first
• 1:31:07
  time of this, you know, which I know that it
• 1:31:10
  sets up the kind of the very creepypasta ending of
• 1:31:14
  you have the person being like, but.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 3: There is no person named this at the daily World.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty The ending's kind of like stereotypical. I
• 1:31:22
  can't tell you how many creepypastas I've read that have
• 1:31:25
  ended like, oh, what do you mean? That was my
• 1:31:27
  best friend Clay and they're like, Clay's been dead for
• 1:31:29
  fourteen years, you know, like yeah, yeah, it kind of
• 1:31:33
  does that. So I'm not crazy about that.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: The idea of hydraulic it's kind of the same thing,
• 1:31:40
  the same complaint I have with Jigsaw, where it's like, yeah,
• 1:31:43
  you're an engineer, but how the hell do you have
• 1:31:46
  the money or.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: Resources to.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: Like set up these elaborate things like in Jigsaw or
• 1:31:52
  Saw the movie Saw, it's like how many industrial park
• 1:31:56
  places are abandoned for you to set up these crazy traps?
• 1:32:01
  And with this it's kind of like how did they
• 1:32:04
  set up I mean, what was the dimensions again? It
• 1:32:07
  was like six feet by eight feet, like human massive.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: I mean it's a human pancake press.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: It's a hydraulic press, which, once again for the story,
• 1:32:15
  it's fiction whenever you know, you can have this suspension
• 1:32:18
  of belief. But still, I'm just like, who has the
• 1:32:21
  resources to do that?
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: I felt, So I was actually kind of laughing a
• 1:32:28
  bit leading up to because I could tell like where
• 1:32:31
  he was going. As soon as he said stack.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I looked at the camera like, Okay.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: I was starting to kigg a little bit. It wasn't
• 1:32:38
  as bad as I thought of you. I thought they
• 1:32:39
  were going to be like completely formed pancakes.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: I thought somebody was gonna be eating them, or like cannibalism,
• 1:32:45
  because the whole thing too is like, oh, they're getting
• 1:32:47
  ready for breakfast. It's like, just because you squash somebody
• 1:32:49
  like a pancake, I guess it's because then it makes
• 1:32:52
  it seem like the person has like a pancake fetish
• 1:32:55
  because it even send them a menu. It's like you
• 1:32:57
  can squash somebody, that doesn't mean like they're a pancake,
• 1:33:00
  Like what the fuck.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: There's also questions where he's like, yeah, yeah, someone could
• 1:33:03
  be flat, but like pancakes a bit an exaggeration, I guess.
• 1:33:06
  I mean, I get it, but whatever. But what he
• 1:33:08
  was talking about he saw the stack, I thought they
• 1:33:09
  were going to be perfectly formed pancakes. Yeah. Stuff. So
• 1:33:12
  that's why I was laughing a bit. But thankfully, thankfully,
• 1:33:15
  there was some level of trying to incorporate biology, like
• 1:33:18
  they have a machine for their lungs, they're blinded and
• 1:33:22
  like the Body of Horror aspect of it flex like
• 1:33:24
  that that works kind of well, that there's some thought
• 1:33:28
  given to the logistics of it. But that being said, it.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: To me, it falls into the worst category where it's
• 1:33:37
  not totally incompetent and stupid to be really funny, but
• 1:33:41
  it doesn't leave enough lasting impression to where like I
• 1:33:45
  feel like it's it's just kind of forgettable.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's not there's not really a narrative or anything.
• 1:33:50
  Like I said, I had fun reading it, but there's
• 1:33:51
  not really a narrative. It's just kind of like, oh,
• 1:33:54
  here's a bad thing that happened. And then you are
• 1:33:58
  like taking like, isn't the disturbing be disturbed? And you're like, well,
• 1:34:02
  I mean, I guess if I saw this in real life,
• 1:34:04
  that'd be pretty bad. But I'm reading about it and that.
• 1:34:07
  But but if that, if it doesn't catch you, it's
• 1:34:10
  like this is so disturbing, yeah, then it just falls through.
• 1:34:14
  It's just a guy describing something he saw for a while.
• 1:34:17
  It's honestly, you haven't seen this ship. But for the audience,
• 1:34:19
  it's honestly like Urban Spoop a lot of that work.
• 1:34:22
  I have the same critiques about this that I do
• 1:34:24
  that like, if it doesn't get you as being so like,
• 1:34:29
  oh this is awful, then you're not. It's not gonna
• 1:34:32
  do anything for you. Yeah, I liked the writing in
• 1:34:35
  some parts, I think.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was fine.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: I think it was nice.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: I think some of the dialogue was a bit like
• 1:34:40
  him continuously for the sedatives, I thought was a bit overplayed.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, well, it's like, what do you mean
• 1:34:45
  you went to do an investigation? You're like, does a
• 1:34:46
  paramedic have sedatives or whatever?
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: It's like that's kind of weird, which I get it.
• 1:34:51
  It's like the guy shaking up, but I feel like
• 1:34:52
  there's other ways you could go about it. I mean, like,
• 1:34:54
  oh no, I'm finding more and more though, I really
• 1:34:57
  like these detective kind of like I like the idea
• 1:35:01
  of somebody actually trying to uncover something and like it's
• 1:35:04
  somebody's duty and job. Like that's always a fun that's
• 1:35:08
  always like a fun way to play with a narrative,
• 1:35:10
  in my opinion, So I.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 3: Would be interested to see more of these.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: And it's nice too that it's not like it's not
• 1:35:16
  a kid or it's not like it doesn't come from
• 1:35:18
  this perspective of like a teenager and like you know,
• 1:35:22
  kind of like a like a cat, like a group
• 1:35:25
  of kids or something that are dealing with something kind
• 1:35:27
  of like it or you know, like Baska that kind
• 1:35:31
  of stuff. I kind of like the idea of it
• 1:35:32
  being like an older investigator. It's just that it felt
• 1:35:36
  different in that way from from some of the other
• 1:35:38
  stuff we've read.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 3: At least it felt unique in that way.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: It's kind of just a description of a thing that happened.
• 1:35:44
  And if that descriptor is not super intense, over the
• 1:35:47
  top spooky to you, then it's kind of whatever. But
• 1:35:49
  if basically, if you really like this story because you
• 1:35:53
  found the whole human squish concept scary or like creepy,
• 1:35:56
  then you know, I totally understand. But for me, whenever
• 1:35:59
  he's like, oh I walked in, I knew where he
• 1:36:01
  was going where He's like, none of the rooms could
• 1:36:03
  hear each other. And then there was a press above
• 1:36:06
  a hospital bed, I like, pause for a second. I'm like,
• 1:36:08
  there's no way.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's just like six eight feet wide hydraug press.
• 1:36:13
  I mean, do you understand the engineering, Like how crazy
• 1:36:17
  big that fucking thing would be. Also the whole thing too,
• 1:36:21
  you're liking them auto manufacturer level zone.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 3: You're keeping them alive through an ivy drip.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: It's the problem is it's funny enough Actually when I
• 1:36:29
  was reading this, because I was kind of like like, Okay,
• 1:36:32
  this is where we're going, it was kind of the
• 1:36:35
  same critiques I had with that movie Long Legs, where
• 1:36:38
  it was like, you introduced an interesting.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: Watch your mouth, watch your tone, You introduced.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: An interesting element through this investigation right of like a crime,
• 1:36:48
  but you really don't do anything that's earned through investigating it.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 3: The same thing with Long.
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: Legs of like the person just drops off the code
• 1:36:56
  to be like, hey, here to cipher this now because
• 1:36:58
  it's time. It's the same thing of like oh, the
• 1:37:00
  killer just kind of shows up to the detective and
• 1:37:02
  is like, hey, I have some leads, and it feels
• 1:37:06
  like nothing feels earned, and then it's just like the
• 1:37:09
  shock value aspect of it for the sake of shock value.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 3: And I think that's like the really integral part of like.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: If you do a kind of like detective kind of
• 1:37:20
  crime thriller is you have to have like the fun
• 1:37:23
  stuff of the fun visuals, but then you need to
• 1:37:26
  have an interesting, actual interesting investigation kind of like Seven
• 1:37:30
  or Signs of the Lambs to where you're watching these
• 1:37:33
  reporters go th or detectives really go through the ringer
• 1:37:36
  of unveiling these things that leads to a very finite,
• 1:37:41
  satisfying conclusion that also acts as like a character arc
• 1:37:45
  for them as well. It's just kind of the thing, which,
• 1:37:47
  to be fair, it's a short internet horror story.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 3: It is what it is.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: But I just think it's interesting because I do think
• 1:37:53
  that this could be done in a really sweet way,
• 1:37:55
  maybe not pressing people into pancakes for just the sake
• 1:37:58
  of them being pancakes, but even just the idea of
• 1:38:01
  the Like, it's horrifying thinking people are being abducted and
• 1:38:04
  tortured for twenty years.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 3: That's like disgusting.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 2: What was the not safe for work tag on that.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing it's the I'm guessing it's Yeah, I'm guessing
• 1:38:13
  it's the the the the very graphic detail of how
• 1:38:18
  they're pressed and stuff, because there was some elements of
• 1:38:20
  like mutilation and stuff. Nothing as crazy if we as
• 1:38:23
  we've seen. But I wonder if they're just being safe
• 1:38:25
  for like, you know, better safe than sorry.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think you're right.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: So oh and although I want to say too, I
• 1:38:32
  think that you did a great job with the voice
• 1:38:33
  acting of that guy, like a very shaky thing.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 3: I thought that you did a really good job.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, thank you. Yeah, I thought I figured
• 1:38:39
  might as well have fun with it, right, It got
• 1:38:41
  hard to keep that guy. I really wanted to break
• 1:38:44
  when he was like I heard a.
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: Couple of times and I was trying not to derail
• 1:38:47
  it either, but I was like, yeah, let's just keep
• 1:38:48
  the pace going. So I'm glad you didn't break. But no,
• 1:38:51
  I'm curious to see what people think too. I do
• 1:38:53
  think I like the first story a lot. I think
• 1:38:56
  that was the highlight of today, besides obviously Eyelist Jack
• 1:38:59
  being very funny, but I was Jack was my But
• 1:39:02
  I think like the disappearance of Ashley Kansas is just
• 1:39:05
  a fun concept. It didn't go too far. I think
• 1:39:08
  that you could like with that thing. It's like almost
• 1:39:11
  if it was a movie or something that would be
• 1:39:12
  a really fun movie to watch, something like that kind
• 1:39:15
  of I don't I don't know why, but it had
• 1:39:16
  elements of like the Bay of like that those like time,
• 1:39:20
  like time unfolding in a way through footage that has
• 1:39:22
  found like found footage. I could see the disappearance of
• 1:39:27
  actually Kansas being something similar.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I liked it. That was fret I think that
• 1:39:31
  was the best story we read today, but my favorite
• 1:39:35
  was I was Jack.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: Also, I just want to say too, I just want
• 1:39:40
  to say the last thing we recorded, we didn't know
• 1:39:43
  what our tickets that were, like the ticket the tour
• 1:39:45

  Speaker 3: Across GA, but I don't know.
• 1:39:55

• 1:40:23
