  Speaker 1: Welcome back to a Greek guest. Today, we are in
• 0:27
  a paranormal hot spot in the basement of the Sally House.
• 0:31
  We're gonna be doing a little grab bag of sorts today,
• 0:34
  starting off with the portraits, which is ak the Cab
• 0:38
  in the Woods, which is apparently a classic that you read.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Og got posted everywhere back in the day.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: We're also going to cover the bath game, and then
• 0:46
  we're going to go into our Stories of the day,
• 0:48
  which is an empty prison and an ending on my
• 0:51
  students submitted the most disturbing living history project I've ever seen.
• 0:55
  Pretty excited before we get into it, I just want
• 0:58
  to say thank you to spot to find Apple podcast listeners,
• 1:02
  and of course to our beautiful patrons for making it
• 1:04
  possible for us to be here and be tormented. I'm
• 1:06
  almost positive that there is a possum in this hole
• 1:09
  in the wall over there, and it's scary.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So, for those who didn't watch the last episode
• 1:14
  or however many ago it was on how these things
• 1:16
  get edited. We are inside of the Sally House and.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: What's the town's name, Atchinson, Kansas.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Atchins in Kansas. This house is regarded as being one
• 1:26
  of the most haunted houses in America. As legend has it,
• 1:29
  back in the eighteen hundreds, this basement that we are
• 1:31
  in now was used as a makeshift hospital before hospitals
• 1:36
  in the region. One day, a little girl named Sally
• 1:39
  came here with stomach pains and tragically died on the
• 1:41
  table during an appadectomy.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I had not been dec to me, yeah, but you're alive. Well,
• 1:46
  but I was gonna say, I don't know if I
• 1:48
  don't know if you can see it, but can you
• 1:50
  see my appendix scar in the infrared?
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: It's pretty cool? But you lived well.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I guess what, Isaiah, what I'm the ghost saying is
• 2:00
  she's jealous.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if the ghost is gonna get anyone, it's you,
• 2:04
  because you lived.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I don't have an appendix for her to take.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's jealousy. We're also talking about like an
• 2:11
  eight year old child.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, she's one hundred. She's over one hundred years old.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Now, that's sure, she's pretty old by now. She's a
• 2:18
  little bit of compassion perspective. Perhaps.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Also, this place has been you know, it's been a
• 2:23
  little spooky. I will say the spookiest thing that happened
• 2:25
  so far as the DoorDash driver that dropped up dropped
• 2:27
  off our taco bell for the last episode, which it
• 2:29
  was delicious. I wish I had another breeder now was uh.
• 2:33
  They wouldn't even drop the thing knocked.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: On the door and then they ran to the corner
• 2:37
  of the street and they had to Harry go out
• 2:39
  and find him because he's like, I'm not standing at
• 2:42
  the door. Yeah, that's how freaked out people are of
• 2:44
  this house, which I will say has been some pretty
• 2:46
  creepy stuff if you were putting it on the Patreon
• 2:49
  right our vlog of like walking through the house and
• 2:51
  talking about it and all that, visiting the town and
• 2:54
  stuff like that. There is a lot of weird stuff
• 3:00
  in the house. People have dreams of, like dead children.
• 3:03
  There is a room where people come and leave toys
• 3:06
  for Sally and stuff like that where we recorded the
• 3:09
  last episode. Very creepy. So now we are in the dark,
• 3:13
  very dingy. Basement is all completely off. Lights are all
• 3:17
  completely off. I can fill my throat closing up as
• 3:19
  I'm down here is getting to me.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: The open the open dry wall here is there is
• 3:29
  a kid you not.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: We were reading about this place that someone was kicked
• 3:34
  out because they tried to perform a ritual to summon
• 3:36
  BL's above and you can see the mark in the floor.
• 3:41
  Nick is sitting on it. Nick is sitting on the
• 3:43
  mark on the floor where they made the sigil to
• 3:45
  try to summon the devil. It's right there. So it's
• 3:49
  a very freaky place. There's also a giant hole in
• 3:51
  the wall that you can't see all the way back
• 3:55
  in it like bows to the right, and they have.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: It's fenced off.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: It's fenced off. They fenced off a hole in the
• 4:00
  wall as if there's something back there there keeping it there.
• 4:03
  We keep hearing weird noises coming.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I'm almost one hundred percent positive it's either door for
• 4:07
  it's a possum. Similar noises coming from yes, yes, similar noises.
• 4:14
  Probably similar noises coming from the hole. I don't know.
• 4:17
  But to start off, I'm gonna read that. This is
• 4:19
  a very short story. I'm gonna read it. Just just
• 4:22
  idn't hold hold of it?
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Can you? Also? So before we start recording, I asked.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Or we man tell you what that seriously? I might
• 4:32
  I might just take a break for a second. I
• 4:34
  that taco bell is fucking running serious right now? Oh my,
• 4:38
  I took a piss I'll hold it.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: But I like, we did all this to set up
• 4:44
  for recording.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: That double I didn't think about it. That double beef
• 4:48
  burrito with the potatoes added to it has fucking it's
• 4:52
  like a it's an actual spring trap on my stomach. Okay,
• 4:55
  let me just let me just get into the flow
• 4:57
  of it here, Okay, hold on, hold on.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Or the episodes started, I kept asking are we cool?
• 5:01
  And you didn't answer me.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: What do you mean? What are we cool about?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: What? Like? It's the show cool? Are we cool? No? This?
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: No?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: God, no, are you fucking kidding me?
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: No?
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Have you seen all the YouTube videos people doing this shit? No,
• 5:12
  it's fucking cringe. We're cringe, but we're reading. But see
• 5:15
  it works because we're reading cringey stories at a haunted house.
• 5:20
  I mean, like it's cohesive.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: God.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, this first one's called The Portraits aka
• 5:28
  Cabin in the Woods. Isaiah, you've read this one? Yeah, okay,
• 5:32
  well here we go, here we go. I'm gonna read
• 5:35
  it verset. Look, I didn't get you that Diablo Sauce.
• 5:37
  I was asking for it too, wasn't I?
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: So he was.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I'm luck I'm luckyb I'm lucky approached that bitch raw
• 5:43
  because I tell you that was if I would have
• 5:44
  had some Diablo sauce on that, it would be a
• 5:46
  different ballgame.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Right now.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Holy Hill. Okay. There was a hunter in the woods who,
• 5:51
  after a long day hunting, was in the middle of
• 5:54
  an immense forest. It was getting dark, and having lost
• 5:57
  his bearings, he decided to head in one direction until
• 5:59
  he was clear of the increasingly oppressive foliage. After what
• 6:03
  seemed like hours, he came across the cabin in a
• 6:05
  small clearing. Realizing how dark it had grown, he decided
• 6:09
  to see if he could stay there for the night.
• 6:11
  He approached and found the door jar. Nobody was inside.
• 6:15
  The hunter flopped down on the single bed, deciding to
• 6:18
  explain himself to the owner in the morning. As he
• 6:20
  looked around, he was surprised to see the walls adorned
• 6:23
  by many portraits, all painted an incredible detail without exception.
• 6:29
  They appeared to I heard that that was something we
• 6:37
  have that flashlight, Nick, Why do you have to say
• 6:38
  like that. It's like, it's just it's just such a
• 6:42
  fucking it's an immediate like accepting defeat God. The way
• 6:47
  Nick said that was very uh yeah, yeah, we're dead.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, while Nick's over here, like, don't worry everyone.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Without exception, they appeared to be staring down at him,
• 7:06
  their features twisted into looks of hatred. Staring back, he
• 7:11
  grew increasing and uncomfortable, Making a concerted effort to ignore
• 7:14
  the many hateful faces. He turned to face the wall
• 7:17
  and exhausted, he fell into a restless sleep. Face down
• 7:21
  in an unfamiliar bed, he turned blinking in an unexpected sunlight.
• 7:26
  Looking up, he discovered that the cabin had no portraits,
• 7:30
  only windows. That's fun people looking at him in the dark.
• 7:34
  I mean, how cool is that? And see what was
• 7:35
  fucked up is out now? With that bang, Nick, just
• 7:38
  immediately accept that fucking defeat, that we're gonna die now,
• 7:41
  I just expect that in there. I'm like, I'm not
• 7:43
  even joking. I keep looking over there, and I keep
• 7:45
  feeling like I see some kind of fucking figure.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: On the show. So I'm not I'm not gonna lie.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Shut up, don't even say fucking anything something back there.
• 7:52
  I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say fucking anything. I'm
• 7:56
  saying that I don't even know what I saw.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Just so, guys, I really we need to put a
• 8:00
  picture on screen. I can't explain to you how much
• 8:03
  of a death dungeon this thing looks like, Yeah, we
• 8:06
  have to put all right. So I actually have to
• 8:08
  quit looking at it because I keep looking at this
• 8:10
  one spot. Flashlight right now. Someone get a flashlight right now,
• 8:14
  and china into that hole in the wall. What do
• 8:18
  you mean you did it? Break? Okay? All right, I'm
• 8:21
  I'm a little okay.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: You guys are spooking me out. Dude, I'm fucking freaking
• 8:26
  myself out.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, So there's about to be a flashlight to dispel this.
• 8:30
  But I look, I'm looking in that top right corner,
• 8:32
  and I swear I keep seeing, dude, shut the I
• 8:35
  keep seeing this. To keep here's the wall. I keep seeing.
• 8:39
  You're fucking with me, I swear. The longer I look,
• 8:42
  it's like uh uh uh huh. So I just need
• 8:45
  you to shine a light so I know it's my
• 8:46
  eyes plaining.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: What the are we gonna It's like a Middle Eastern
• 8:50
  man down here.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: You know what it is? Okay?
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Do you see how from here you can see that
• 8:55
  brick a little bit back on this Oh my god,
• 8:57
  that mound of dirt. Yeah, this is a start of
• 9:02
  a horror movie.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: It's like the.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Whole what what, what the fuck are we doing?
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Shut the that brick that's in the top right from
• 9:11
  right here. It is right on the press of what
• 9:14
  you see. So it showing and going. It looks like
• 9:17
  it's moving.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: It's horrible. Yes, and it's like it's it's an illusion
• 9:23
  and it's horrible. Okay, all right, so that's wait. So
• 9:30
  you know, at first, you know, I thought it was
• 9:31
  I thought this was like a who the who's the
• 9:34
  fucking like fat little girl that goes to the bear's
• 9:36
  house little red writing no, no, no, Goldilocks. I thought it
• 9:44
  was that vibe for a second, Yeah, the whole idea though.
• 9:47
  All the faces look that's fun.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, this used to get passed around all the time. Uh,
• 9:51
  and it'd be like it'd be accompanied with images like
• 9:53
  scary portraits and stuff like that, or like an empty woods.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Is it not a groom's fairy tale? It has that
• 9:58
  such a vibe.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, it has a related to it, but I
• 10:00
  don't think it's literally a grim's fairy tale. I remember
• 10:03
  this game passed around the time that like the Stairs
• 10:05
  in the Woods were popular and stuff like that. Oh,
• 10:07
  it's like you come across weird structures out of the woods.
• 10:10
  What they mean? What could it be about? And I
• 10:11
  like the idea that this cabin is like an open
• 10:14
  door for anyone to come lay in, but then they're
• 10:16
  watched for some reason. It's also just a great zinger on.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: The end, no point, it's great. I mean, my god,
• 10:21
  was there even a minute long? Besides my dyslexia? I
• 10:23
  mean that have been that would have been a thirty
• 10:25
  second read.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's it's a very powerful little kick.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I read that one here. We put in here the
• 10:32
  Bath Game. Do you want to do? You want to
• 10:33
  read the basket and explain what it is.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: To the Bath Game. So the Bath Game we did
• 10:37
  a video at one point when we it's the one
• 10:39
  we did the Bring Her Back gray Water. In the
• 10:42
  Greywater video, we covered a series of ritual creepypastas where
• 10:45
  it's like you perform some action and then like a
• 10:48
  thing like the Midnight Game and stuff like that. So
• 10:50
  the Bath Game is one of those.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: And given that we are in a house with a
• 10:54
  spirit that keeps showing up through the wall over there,
• 10:58
  this one's about somebody in a spirit though, did you
• 11:02
  hear a cat mew right now? Yeah?
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: No, okay earlier, Yes, you heard one earlier, but not
• 11:09
  right now right now? You heard a cat me out earlier?
• 11:12
  You fucking why didn't you say anything?
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Why do I hear it right now?
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: Cat?
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Nick, you're setting on a satanic signal.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I hate on top of him, no ship, I hate
• 11:23
  that you're in the You're in the creakest fucking chair, no,
• 11:26
  no man, And then you keep shifting back and forth
• 11:29
  and you keep saying it's just a cat. You sick fuck. Also,
• 11:36
  I think my foot swollen from the being so asleep.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: There's gonna be a giant hand reached down and just
• 11:41
  flip me through the floorboards. I don't like that. Oh yeah,
• 11:48
  I really like it either, Nick.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I don't like that.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I don't Oh, I say it's dead.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I don't like to a bummer?
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: All right? The Bath Game, The bath Game, formerly known
• 12:05
  as rumas sand.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Does that mean holy?
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: The tone I approached that way?
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Formally known as Daruma sand? This this bitch comes from overseas?
• 12:17
  Are you fucking kidding me?
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Ruba Jomaica Islamic, Darumah Daruma is Islamic. Now it isn't
• 12:27
  this isn't this is an.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Islamic bath game. No, are you fucking We're just I
• 12:32
  can barely see your face, you cocksucker.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you you're freaking out right.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: He's just alway seeing the I see the darkest just what,
• 12:40
  I'm just looking at your smiling at me.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Bath game formerly known as Daruma San, is an old
• 12:48
  game surrounding a ghost from a bathtub that follows you
• 12:50
  all day. Ms can result in bad things happening to you,
• 12:55
  even death.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: It's kind of fun. It's like it's not even you
• 12:57
  might not even.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Get killed, but it still it's like it could you
• 13:00
  never know things that you will need bathroom with the bathtub.
• 13:03
  I'll just figure starting the game, Step one, before you
• 13:07
  go to bed, take off all your clothes, all right.
• 13:10
  Step two enter the bathroom, fill up the bathtub, and
• 13:13
  turn out all the lights. Step three. Sit in the
• 13:16
  middle of the tub while facing the faucet. Tap, close
• 13:20
  your eyes, wash your hair.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Step four.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: As you wash your hair, told repeat these words.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Msom fell down. Dumasong fell down.
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: So it looks like the dull is a traditional Japanese hollow.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Nick.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Why did you say it was Islamic.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: All right II, Maja Nick said it in his room
• 13:53
  like the turbine in the prayer Chick. I saw someone
• 14:04
  comment on a Pop of Me video one time. Anytime
• 14:06
  Nick speaks, I have to get ready. Step four, do
• 14:12
  not stop repeating this until you finish washing your hair.
• 14:16
  Your eyes must remain shut. Step five. As you wash
• 14:20
  your hair, you will picture a Japanese woman standing in
• 14:22
  the bathtub. You will slip and fall into a rusty tap,
• 14:26
  gouging her eye out, killing her Jesus. Step six. You
• 14:31
  will hear a sound coming from behind you or feel
• 14:33
  a movement in the bath Do not turn around or peak.
• 14:37
  You will finally summon the ghost. You will feel her
• 14:40
  presence she emerges out of the bathtub, ask out.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Loud, why did you fall in the bathtub?
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Step seven. The boy you said that was very choosator, idiot.
• 14:58
  Step seven you can finally get out of the bathtub
• 15:01
  and make sure your eyes remain shut. Make sure not
• 15:04
  to slip or trip as you get out of the bath.
• 15:07
  Not drain the water until the next morning. Step eight.
• 15:10
  Shut the door behind you. Now safe to open your eyes.
• 15:14
  Keep the water in the bathtub until morning. Do not
• 15:18
  turn any lights on go to bed. The woman is
• 15:21
  a ghostly figure that will follow you all day. He
• 15:24
  wears tattered and stained white clothes with black hair. She
• 15:27
  has only one eye. Your left eye is wide open
• 15:30
  and bloodshot. Her right eye is missing, leaving bloody hollow
• 15:35
  eye socket. When you wake up in the morning, game
• 15:37
  will begin. Your day will begin normal until you will
• 15:41
  feel the presence of the one eyed Woman glancing over
• 15:43
  your right shoulder. When you turn around, she will not
• 15:46
  be there. She will get closer and closer as your
• 15:49
  day goes on. Not let her catch you. If the
• 15:52
  one eyed Woman is getting too close, you should shout
• 15:55
  to maare, which means stop, then run away fast. We'll
• 16:01
  put a distance between you and the woman. You must
• 16:03
  end this game before midnight, or else you will keep
• 16:05
  stalking you and appear in your dreams to kill you.
• 16:08
  In the game, you must catch a glimpse of the
• 16:11
  one eyed woman and shout.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Kita, which means I cut you loose while.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Swinging your arm in a chopping motion. The game will end.
• 16:19
  One eyed Woman won't follow you anymore. We'll number one.
• 16:23
  Do not open your eyes when the ghost first appears.
• 16:26
  Will number two. Do not let the one eyed woman
• 16:28
  trip you when you leave the bathtub. Rule number three,
• 16:32
  do not re enter the bathroom after you leave. We'll
• 16:35
  number four not drain the bath until morning. Rule number
• 16:38
  five do not let the one eyed woman catch you.
• 16:41
  This game is very dangerous. It can get you killed
• 16:45
  when you get out of the bathtub. It's very important
• 16:47
  to play with caution.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: What a fucking demented, fucking Japanese game that is?
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Huh well, it is like you want to touch the
• 16:56
  supernatural and like there ain't no fucking touching your You
• 16:59
  basically make you know, you make it.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: You make a Japanese pirate that follows you around all day.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: You know who it would have.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: You wouldn't even nightmares, Miss Watson, Kay, you're in Yeah,
• 17:15
  gotcha guy, You're in one, Miss wont Well.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: When you put it like that, also, this literally does
• 17:23
  sound like a perverts fantasy of like, also, be sure
• 17:26
  to take your clothes off, wash your hair very rapidly,
• 17:28
  but don't open your eyes, and then also don't drain
• 17:31
  the water till morning. What do you think they're doing
• 17:33
  with water?
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: The implication is you're mimicking the steps of the woman.
• 17:37
  If you're hearing it's taking a shower and fell and died,
• 17:39
  and the water stayed until someone found her the next morning.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: If you hear somebody, if you hear somebody drinking the
• 17:44
  bathtob water with a straw, don't look it kind of
• 17:50
  from ye then y'all, then Y'allama, it's it's a curat.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: There's one face, and the mistake gets passed around on
• 17:59
  my round a lot online as a scary image that
• 18:04
  I think might actually be related to this story. Yeah,
• 18:07
  I can't find the image right now. I was just
• 18:08
  pulling up like stuff from the crutch, which is what
• 18:10
  I'm looking for. But there's this imager that goes around
• 18:12
  line that I think only has one eye. I think
• 18:16
  might have come for this, but it's the images often
• 18:17
  detached from the story. If I can find it in post,
• 18:19
  we'll show it. But I think that stories like this
• 18:26
  are for people that I could see it working with
• 18:29
  a narrative like the character we just read about in
• 18:31
  our last story at Infinum, where it's someone who is
• 18:34
  at the end of the rope needs something, needs to
• 18:36
  change something, and it's like, what have I got to lose?
• 18:39
  Kind of thing, right, I could see them doing a
• 18:41
  game like this to touch the other side to see
• 18:44
  what's beyond the veil sort of.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: When I said look over at your right shoulder, I
• 18:47
  fucking did it, and I scared the fuck out of myself.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: What'd you look out?
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I looked at Well, there's just a there's a silver
• 18:55
  handle there, but I thought it was eyes.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Scare me.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Have fun this one. But anyway, we can go on,
• 19:01
  all right, But what do you think of that? What
• 19:03
  do you think of the ritual games? I mean, they're not.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I mean I like the idea because it's just like
• 19:09
  this was this was this was like fan fiction before
• 19:14
  the internet. To me, this is like what this is
• 19:16
  what those kinds of people did before the internet existed
• 19:20
  or whatever. So the people would pass on this. I
• 19:23
  just mean, like it's just people being like is this cool?
• 19:26
  Like that kind of thing, and it's whatever that mindset is.
• 19:28
  It doesn't make a lot of sense what I'm saying.
• 19:29
  I'm just end not even urban legends. They're just saying,
• 19:32
  like that kind of person that would be, like, you know,
• 19:34
  like someone who's obsessed with what's a show? What's a
• 19:36
  popular show? Supernatural? Really?
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Really, why don't you just.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Say monk while you're at a dude, you went, never
• 19:50
  fucking mind.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: It's it's fun. They're fun. But at the same time,
• 19:56
  just like, what.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Kind of fucking psychopath would do this? Dude, God, so Supernatural,
• 20:00
  shut the fun. I've never heard you once say that.
• 20:02
  For what's a popular show, Supernatural?
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: You want to know some horrible information? What did surprise
• 20:10
  you to know? I used to be super into Supernatural.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: It's a good it's a good show. I'm not saying
• 20:14
  it's I'm not saying that the show is not good.
• 20:16
  It's just a funny thing to write, like you could
• 20:18
  have said the Sopranos or anything like, I don't.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Know anything that isn't Supernatural.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, should we get into empty prison? Yeh,
• 20:25
  let's start actually reading a story. Let's it on, this
• 20:30
  is a story, pok. How long have we been recording
• 20:32
  so far? Twenty four minutes, half an hour. We haven't
• 20:35
  read one story.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: I've read to thank you very much.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: That's not how You've basically heard me have a seizure
• 20:42
  and then I got, yeah, tripped up over a Japanese pirate. Also,
• 20:45
  once again, I cannot I feel like I hear something
• 20:47
  in the hole and I cannot stress that enough.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: You're probably because.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: There's like dirt where I am.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Trevor is trying to calm your nerves.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: You are directly in line with the whole.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Why would you say that?
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Why would you say that?
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: It's so cool?
• 21:07

• 24:37
  guy who's stuck in his apartment or whatever?
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Not? Not the one we read recently about the pill
• 24:43
  that keeps them going?
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: No?
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: No, no, I'm talking about the one where it's like
• 24:45

• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and he thinks that everyone's been turned into aliens.
• 24:51
  Yeah okay, yeah, that's him. Psychosis is the name of psychosis.
• 24:53
  There you go, So m fifty nine Gar wrote that
• 24:56
  he's reading a bunch of other stuff too. Among After
• 24:59
  we read Psychosis for Creek Cast, a bunch of people
• 25:02
  recommended this one as a follow up.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Amus you said among among Omas is that still popular.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Nothing would make me happier?
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Could they get you? Could they get you?
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Pussy? Now you think like it? Nothing would make me
• 25:15
  happier than It's like a retro meme. If something flew
• 25:19
  out of that fence at one hundred miles an hour
• 25:21
  directly into you.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: I don't think so.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: As. I bet you anything, people are gonna be like,
• 25:35
  I bet you there's I don't think if you're If
• 25:37
  you're a good enough looking guy and you're going to
• 25:38
  like a twenty eight year OLDLD, you probably could say
• 25:40
  amogas and you get your stress. It's probably true.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: They probably think you're saying it's ironic. What do you think, amongas,
• 25:49
  you're horrible? You're actually.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Amagas supernatural? I think your sah, please fuck me, okay,
• 26:07
  please split me open? Is that have you have you
• 26:13
  on iron lay, she said to a girl before.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: You.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: That sounded like detail with that. That's never.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: This guy.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I'm just a little guy.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: What are you looking up like?
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: It's just like a bunch of trying to find this
• 26:32
  one image.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: God, just can we read an empty prison?
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Freaking you know?
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: No, none of none of those bring that just gaate born.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: He's on as that go off? Save sure? All right?
• 26:51
  An empty prison? But what what's the actual name of
• 26:55
  Matt Damirski? Matki is an empty prison sounds like a
• 26:59
  hockey player. A single day added onto my sentences, the
• 27:04
  difference between a normal jail and unindie nightmare.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Hold on a second, Nick, what are you doing? He
• 27:12
  little goblin?
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: He's fucking getting up.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Where are you going near the gate?
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: I was checking on the camera. Okay, okay, all right,
• 27:19
  go ahead, stands up, randomly walk up to the Hold
• 27:25
  this right.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: He's he literally sat there. I sit there and I
• 27:28
  look at it.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: He's just like.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: He like crawls off. It's the fucking scariest thing. And
• 27:39
  he's in the creakiest, oldest Polish chair.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: That could find on on something that's been well established
• 27:46
  as a demonic summit in schel.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: And Loui Georgie. All right, empty prison, Come on, let's
• 27:56
  get no one messed around seriously A.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Single day added on to my It's meant the difference
• 28:00
  between a normal jail and the unending nightmare of ben
• 28:04
  being a prison. I was supposed to get three hundred
• 28:06
  and sixty four days, that was the deal. The judge
• 28:10
  didn't like my attitude. What over the hell that meant,
• 28:12
  so he made it three hundred and sixty five boom.
• 28:16
  One year was the minimum for prison. My lawyer made
• 28:19
  a stink in half but didn't do any good. It's
• 28:23
  not his fault. Fact he's the one who's going to
• 28:25
  release this statement to the press or leak it online.
• 28:28
  If the Guardian Corrections Group the GCG tries to get
• 28:32
  an injunction on us. People have to know what happened.
• 28:36
  I've been being a prison. I'm going to put it
• 28:39
  right out there and tell you that it was haunted.
• 28:43
  You think I'm joking knots or line, but you have
• 28:46
  no idea. Haunted prisons aren't anything like you imagine those
• 28:50
  places that advertise themselves and give people tours or sick
• 28:54
  jokes compared to the real thing. It got so bad
• 28:57
  that you can actually look up GCG's official Fire Islands
• 29:00
  from chapter eleven. That ship put them out of business
• 29:03
  on their very first prison. And right there on the
• 29:06
  briefs using an early statute of North Dakota law from
• 29:09
  eighteen fifty seven to follow an insurance claim, it says
• 29:13
  site of Fambina Prison confirmed by Governor's office and two
• 29:17
  notary publics witnessing in person to be afflicted by the
• 29:21
  supernatural such that continued business is impossible.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I'm donia, okay, what I don't want to say. I'm
• 29:31
  not even going to say it.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Say it. This is a show, and you have to.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck. If it's a show, Fuck them.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: It is a horror podcast. Give me something. I'm afraid.
• 29:43
  Why are you doing that? Did you do that? Note?
• 29:48
  Actually made me mad? Just then I got nick got scared.
• 29:53
  But the way he got scared, the way he got scared,
• 29:57
  and I'm not kidding, I saw him. It was like,
• 30:08
  it's like Freddie Mercury just dem.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I thought it was the possum getting in the event
• 30:17
  or something.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, did the ghost of my grandfather just show
• 30:27
  up in the.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Room with us?
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: My god?
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: The setting.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: It's fucked up because it's just like I'll tell you
• 30:41
  it's a haunting, and I just like you kind of
• 30:43
  like settle it in. But then I just keep like,
• 30:45
  I'm like, we're in a very.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Scared right now.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: I keep getting in my head about it.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: What did you see over there that freak you out? Okay?
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: So this was too bright? I looked over and then
• 30:56
  I like, you know, when the image a little dots, Yeah,
• 30:59
  so I go for and it looked like a white
• 31:01
  bald head in there.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: That's what I keep seeing out of that right corner.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: That's the demon.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Shut the fuck up.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: It might be the possums getting into the van.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Do you think so? Is that's who?
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Na?
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Oh God, let's just keep reading.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Going to keep reading any more comments from the Peanut
• 31:36
  Gallery before we continue. Side of beIN a prison confirmed
• 31:41
  by governor's office and two notary publics witnessing in person
• 31:45
  to be afflicted by the supernatural such that continued business
• 31:48
  is impossible. It wasn't the first time the prison was
• 31:52
  closed for that reason either. Leeches kept buying it and
• 31:55
  reopening it, hoping to make a buck off the common man.
• 31:59
  And I was into that hell hole without knowing the
• 32:02
  history even a single bit. Don't get me wrong, The
• 32:05
  building itself wasn't so bad, especially for something straight out
• 32:09
  of eighteen fifty three. It was a big stone cube
• 32:12
  that was squat heavy and cramped, but way less sealed
• 32:15
  off than modern prisons. We could see a lot of
• 32:18
  the cells around us. There was only one main hallway
• 32:21
  per floor, and we were close enough to pass things
• 32:24
  between the bars and have some real human interaction. Could
• 32:27
  have been worse. There were five floors in capacity for
• 32:31
  five hundred prisoners. When I first got there, I had
• 32:34
  a bunch of cell mates and I heard there were
• 32:36
  two thousand guys locked up, and I believed it, but
• 32:40
  that soon changed. I didn't talk to anyone for the
• 32:43
  first three weeks. Never been a real prison before, and
• 32:47
  I was messed up over it. I didn't want to
• 32:49
  accept that I would be in that place and stuck
• 32:52
  with three other guys in my cell for an entire year.
• 32:56
  The whole prison seemed full of feral men. The bottom
• 32:59
  floor would start screaming and hollering and panicking in the
• 33:02
  middle of the night, all at once. We were on
• 33:05
  the top floor, but we could hear their screams echoing
• 33:07
  through the open old layout length. They were right there
• 33:10
  with us. I just thought the prisoners on the bottom
• 33:13
  floor were all nuts until the guards weren't there to
• 33:16
  wake us up. The first day my fourth week, when
• 33:19
  I woke up in my corner without some asshole guard
• 33:22
  banging on the bars of our cell, I finally had
• 33:25
  to talk. I asked one of my cell mates, Dante,
• 33:28
  what was going on, And I'll never forget the fear
• 33:31
  in his voice as he said something that should have
• 33:34
  made us all incredibly happy.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: The guards are all gone, man.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Prisoners were talking quietly between the cells and loudly between
• 33:41
  the floors through various whispers and shouts. But the most
• 33:45
  we could figure out was that something on the first
• 33:48
  floor and made them all quit in protest. Sure must
• 33:51
  have been the crazy screaming like that during the night, right,
• 33:54
  except none of us could get any word from the
• 33:56
  bottom floor. It was dead silent down there. The guys
• 34:00
  on the second called out for hours. Someone was down there,
• 34:04
  they said, because they could hear shuffling footsteps walking around
• 34:07
  at random ever so often, but whoever it was never
• 34:11
  said a single word. That was the first time Dante
• 34:14
  mentioned the crazy stories from the first floor. He muttered
• 34:18
  that he hoped none of that was true, but when
• 34:20
  I asked about it, he just shook his head.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Nothing man, None of it ever made sense.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: We were a little worried as the day wore on,
• 34:28
  and nobody came to let us out for breakfast, and
• 34:31
  then nobody came to let us out for lunch. The
• 34:34
  time we usually got to spend outside in the yard
• 34:36
  came and went, and people began getting restless, and they
• 34:39
  cell they were left. Dante's friend Will began telling guys
• 34:43
  to pass the word that we should all calm down
• 34:44
  and start sharing any food we had a hold away.
• 34:47
  I remember asking Dante, is it really that bad?
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: They'd nine meals in yard times for a day or
• 34:53
  two before, But the other two guys in our cell
• 34:56
  didn't look convinced.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: One of them said, like.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: This, they mean damn sure. We knew what they did.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: They never just up and left. Someone hated us pieces
• 35:06
  of crusty old bread through the bars as much appreciated.
• 35:10
  New guards didn't show up for work for another full day.
• 35:13
  We got plenty of yard time that day from these
• 35:15
  new guys, but they seemed more confused than us. We
• 35:19
  all watched from a distance. As we all asked a
• 35:21
  guard about what happened? Are shrugged.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know. GCG was paying a premium for fast tire,
• 35:27
  so I signed up. What about the prisoners on the
• 35:30
  first floor. We could still hear them shuffling around down there.
• 35:34
  We looked on the way out of the yard and
• 35:36
  we couldn't see anyone. Huh, nobody in there. They all
• 35:41
  got transferred. Transferred the hell that mean? It means the
• 35:46
  doc R took him back, returned to state custody since
• 35:49
  the company couldn't handle them.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: That made sense if the floor had been full of
• 35:53
  nut jobs, then North Dakota's first local private prison company
• 35:56
  hardly had the experience to handle them. But these news
• 35:59
  guys didn't even have the skills to handle us. There
• 36:02
  were half as many guards as before, and they didn't
• 36:04
  know the routines or who the dangerous ones were among us.
• 36:08
  As a result, they were distant, scared, and forceful, all
• 36:12
  except one guy, Kellen. Kellen wasn't the first guard to
• 36:16
  treat us like human beings, but by then he was
• 36:19
  the only one around. Traded jokes while on the yard,
• 36:22
  never hit us, and looked us in the eyes when
• 36:24
  he talked. He went and found some paperwork to confirm
• 36:27
  the crazies had actually been transferred, but it took three
• 36:29
  months to get that info out of GCG. By the
• 36:33
  time he told us he'd heard back, it's sort of
• 36:35
  forgotten the whole thing. Two nights later, maybe two hours,
• 36:38
  pass lights out, guys on the second floor and screaming.
• 36:43
  Monte leapt up and fell on one of our cellmates
• 36:46
  by accident, before.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Shouting shit must be a fire.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Other guys in our row began banging on the bars
• 36:52
  and shouting for the guards, but the uniforms charged past
• 36:56
  and headed downstairs without talking to us. We could hear
• 36:58
  them shouting orders down below and then yelling in confusion.
• 37:01
  The prisoner of screams were clear coming from the second
• 37:04
  It sounded like they were terrified if something in particular
• 37:07
  wanted help. Sounds of gates being slammed and people running
• 37:12
  reached us after about ten minutes of shouting. Then it
• 37:15
  was silent, said in the dark, waiting and listening till morning.
• 37:19
  When the new shift came in. They were surprised and confused.
• 37:22
  Kellen came by to ask what had happened. We told
• 37:24
  him what we knew, but he'd shown up and found
• 37:27
  open gates in an empty second floor. There's no indication
• 37:30
  what had happened, but he promised to check with the
• 37:32
  corporate and figure out if the absent prisoners all been
• 37:35
  rapidly transferred. Again, Dante gripped the bars and made sure
• 37:38
  Kellen was looking at him.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Please find out who the hell is walking around down
• 37:41
  there at night, Ellen blanked him. I mean, I'm day shift,
• 37:45
  so I don't know what I can do. But but
• 37:48
  what do you mean the prisoners are gone?
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Dante told him fiercely, quietly, But.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: The guys on the third floor said they still hear someone,
• 37:57
  maybe two or three of someone's shuffling their feet every hour,
• 38:00
  so until morning, I guess I could go look right now.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: Until reached through the bars and grabbed his uniform. Some
• 38:06
  moods usually got us a beating.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Hear me, Do not go on there by yourself, stay
• 38:12
  in the stairwellunless someone's with you.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Kellen nodded, fearfully, looked like he finally understood how spooked
• 38:17
  we were. He waved another guard off, Dante let go.
• 38:21
  Nothing more came of it for a whole season. Night
• 38:24
  chips quit, more guards got hired, at an even higher pay.
• 38:29
  Kellen had another uniform scoped out the first two floors
• 38:31
  but found nothing. Dante thought it was because they were
• 38:34
  looking during the day, but he wasn't about to ask
• 38:37
  our only friend to risk himself. It was maybe three
• 38:40
  months later. Yeah, I was halfway through my sentence now.
• 38:44
  I had taken up drawing, so I had pin and
• 38:45
  paper when we woke up in the middle of the night,
• 38:48
  everyone on the third floor screaming in an absolute panic.
• 38:53
  I do like this recurring thing. It's almost like water
• 38:55
  rising up through the other floors and there's no I mean,
• 38:58
  it sounds like there's a cover up with them. Everyone
• 39:00
  was transferred, yea, but it's like there's this evil approaching
• 39:05
  getting closer. This time we were less scared during the
• 39:08
  event itself. Will offer to guard racing past five hundred
• 39:12
  bucks from his commissary account if the man would come
• 39:15
  back and tell them what was going on. Dante listened intently,
• 39:18
  trying to hear individual screams from the third floor over
• 39:21
  everyone else's shouting and confusion. Down any words he thought
• 39:25
  he had heard, But I wrote down.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ killing him. God let us out coming this way.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: We weren't as scared when it was happening because we'd
• 39:37
  lived through it twice before, but this time, long term
• 39:41
  fear was much deeper. Now we knew for sure that
• 39:44
  it was going to happen again, and any prisoners that
• 39:47
  had the means began lawyering up and doing everything they
• 39:50
  could transfer to other prisons, even if it meant worse conditions.
• 39:55
  The problem was North Dakota prison system was already overflowing,
• 40:00
  which was the whole reason GCG got started in the
• 40:02
  first place, so every guy that got out meant it
• 40:05
  was that much harder for the rest of us. Both
• 40:08
  of our cell mates transferred, giving us more space, so
• 40:10
  that was nice, but it was small consolation. Apparently word
• 40:16
  had started to spread on the outside, and GCG's solution,
• 40:20
  instead of paying the guards even more, was to stop
• 40:22
  having a night shift at all, except for just one
• 40:25
  poor guy. Hellen was a bit miffed he hadn't gotten
• 40:28
  a raise out of the whole thing, but we're starting
• 40:30
  to believe us something was going on. By then, he'd
• 40:34
  been around a while and he knew we weren't bullshitters.
• 40:37
  Too many of the other prisoners had told him they'd
• 40:39
  heard something walking around the first, second, and third floors
• 40:43
  at random during the night. It was just a few steps,
• 40:47
  sometimes as many as twenty, but it only happened every
• 40:50
  so often, and only once it had been long enough
• 40:53
  that you thought it had stopped for good. One guy
• 40:55
  on the fourth floor said he'd heard a full run
• 40:58
  from one end of the third floor hallway to the other,
• 41:00
  clear enough that he expected a guard to come charging
• 41:03
  up the stairwell. Nobody had appeared. He slid his wrist
• 41:06
  and got transferred out on medical leave the next day,
• 41:09
  so he took him serious. All that was enough to
• 41:12
  get Kellen to start doing some research on the outside.
• 41:15
  Came to us in the seven month of my sentence,
• 41:17
  with a pale face beside us at the bars well
• 41:20
  asked what's the word?
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: Kellen, seemed Graham.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Lot a bullshit out there, But this place is mentioned
• 41:28
  a lot. It's been closed before, But I keep getting
• 41:31
  stonewalled when I ask for historical documents. The thing is,
• 41:34
  I don't think the prison itself is the problem.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Get this pulled out a notepad for reference.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: Two Canadian priests, father father Norbert Provencher, and Severe Doomlin,
• 41:45
  visited Pembina in eighteen eighteen before was it even official township.
• 41:50
  It was back then when the Hudson's Bay Company was
• 41:52
  big around these parts. That's how long ago it was.
• 41:55
  Pembin was the biggest town in North Dakota then, so
• 41:57
  the trading post was full. So the pre chose to
• 42:00
  sleep outside by by where the Pimbina River meets the
• 42:03
  Red River. The folkto has it that the vision of
• 42:06
  a rotting woman came in the night and stole Provincier's life.
• 42:10
  The two men bartered with her to split the remaining
• 42:12
  life between them. Concerning both, I live only thirty five
• 42:15
  more years instead of the seventy Severe had left. Severe
• 42:20
  got an extra month in twenty days as a gift
• 42:22
  from his friend for a sacrifice.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: He paused, as if we might guess the obvious outcome.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: They both died thirty five years later.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: A knew Pimbina Prison had a horrible problem, but that
• 42:31
  didn't mean I had to believe everything.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Let me guess a month and twenty days apart.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Kellen nodded. Conte snorted, it's true, dude. Kellen insisted, the
• 42:43
  dates of death are right there on Wikipedia.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: But get this. Thirty five years later, after eighteen eighteen,
• 42:48
  made their death year eighteen fifty three, the year this
• 42:50
  prison was built at the place they camped that night
• 42:53
  by the meetings of the Rivers.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: I didn't know what it meant, but I was beginning
• 42:56
  to feel very uneasy. It's right here, isn't it. It
• 43:00
  was dead serious.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: I think there's some shit here, ancient shit. I asked
• 43:05
  a guy I know. He's got Chippewarella dives over at
• 43:08
  Turtle Mountain. They know the history of the Red River
• 43:10
  better than anyone else. He said. His uncle told him
• 43:13
  never to sleep at the meeting of the Red River
• 43:14
  and the Pembina River. He said, something lives here.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: Under the ground.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: It awakens with the changing of the seasons.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: That's cool. That's pretty sick. I know we bring it
• 43:25
  up constantly, but final prayer. Yeah, some great thing underground.
• 43:29
  But it's like it's physically rising through the levels of
• 43:31
  the prison people. Yeah, that's pretty cool. We were silent
• 43:35
  for a beat after that. It was folk tale nonsense,
• 43:38
  but it was as good as a theory as any.
• 43:41
  Whatever it was, it was going to come back, and
• 43:43
  it wasn't friendly. We'll talk to Kellen for another few minutes.
• 43:47
  Dante was silent after he was gone. I asked him,
• 43:51
  what's wrong? He said on one of the now unused
• 43:53
  bunks and told.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Me I got another five years in here. I got
• 43:57
  no money for a lawyer. Your sentence will be a
• 44:00
  fort reaches us and we'll be here alone, will it.
• 44:04
  There's no way to be sure, and we'll be back
• 44:06
  at two months for the fourth floor, and then three
• 44:09
  months after that for us. I could get out a
• 44:11
  week before or a day too late. Doesn't seem to
• 44:15
  be exact. Just looked at the floor. What I mean
• 44:18
  is I do hope you get out here before it comes.
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: I wasn't sure what else to say after that, so
• 44:25
  I just said in my corner like I always did.
• 44:27
  It wasn't too much after that that we heard GCG
• 44:30
  was going under mad rush of transfers. It pissed off
• 44:33
  the state and lost the company a vital contract for
• 44:35
  a second location. Investors had pulled out or something. The
• 44:39
  number of guards was cut and slashed. Kellen took a
• 44:41
  pay hit to stay on as the only guy left
• 44:43
  on the day shift.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: There's only two prisoners left on the fourth floor, called.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: The twenty of us remaining as the general week. We
• 44:50
  expected it to happen approached. I feel like it's just
• 44:53
  stayed late just to see what the hell is going
• 44:54
  to go on down here. But the former guards I
• 44:58
  ask about it all terrified as hell, refused to talk.
• 45:01
  Something got violent just because I asked, it's cool, you
• 45:05
  got a kid at home, don't be here for it.
• 45:08
  Twenty of us left on the fifth floor, set in
• 45:10
  ourselves ones night fell, rained and listening. Monday night, nothing happened.
• 45:16
  Two guys down below occasionally shouted up to us, and
• 45:19
  everything was clear. Tuesday night, nothing happened. Strain was growing, though,
• 45:24
  and we could sometimes hear them breathing rapidly down there.
• 45:28
  Could only imagine the adrenaline rushing through them every minute.
• 45:31
  Until dawn on Wednesday night, nothing happened. Yet something had
• 45:37
  changed in the air. Prison was much quieter now. The
• 45:41
  two thousand men had become twenty two, and I thought
• 45:44
  I could feel a subtle sort of heartbeat in the air,
• 45:47
  hounding against reality and like it was a thin sheet
• 45:50
  of paper. It's just your imagination. And of us were
• 45:53
  willing to speak louder than that. Thursday night, that Harvey
• 45:57
  became a feeling of footsteps approaching distance. Guys a little
• 46:02
  shouted from his cell. You good down there, still here,
• 46:06
  one responded from down below, but I can feel it.
• 46:10
  It's at the doors.
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: It's knocking.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: What the hell that's supposed to mean?
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: Man below did not respond. Friday night, that was the
• 46:19
  night it would happen all day. The two guys on
• 46:22
  fourth pulled and clanged on their bars, begging to be
• 46:25
  led out. Helen was torn. After two hours of listening
• 46:29
  to that plating, he came up with an idea. Transferred
• 46:31
  both of them up to our floor. If nobody's on four,
• 46:34
  then we'll be safe. Right out loud, we agreed, but
• 46:39
  we were kidding ourselves. When the night guard showed up,
• 46:41
  he freaked took the two men back down, said out
• 46:45
  loud what we were all thinking.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: If nobody's on four, then we'll just come right to five.
• 46:50
  It'll just come right to five and get us all
• 46:52
  What the hell was killing thinking?
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: We like out there's so like assured this thing is
• 46:57
  gonna happen. The Guard's like, we got to feed them
• 46:59
  to it, need to gotta go down there. We had
• 47:03
  to listen to hours of sobbing that evening. It was
• 47:06
  the hardest trial of my life. I wanted to call
• 47:09
  out to the night guard. I wanted to ask him
• 47:11
  to get those men out of there, but if I did,
• 47:14
  I knew whatever was coming find all of us instead.
• 47:17
  The moment had happened with like a cold hand on
• 47:20
  my shoulder. What's going on down there, Dante shouted. The
• 47:25
  man was not sobbing called back.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: It's changing, Will demanded, what's happening? Tell us redd?
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: What's read?
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: Will yelled insistently, God damn it. What's red stared down
• 47:40
  the hallway at the night guard stood, listening with fear.
• 47:44
  Screaming began a few seconds later, this time only one
• 47:48
  floor above. We could clearly hear their every word. The
• 47:51
  sobbing prisoner shrieked. The man who'd been communicating with us
• 47:56
  began incoherently raging with fear against his bar. Then strangely
• 48:01
  he stopped. The twenty of us clung to our bars
• 48:04
  and able to help and able to flee. Many of
• 48:07
  us cried, but we were otherwise silent, or to yell
• 48:11
  would be to drown out the last words of the
• 48:13
  men below. But they were eerily quiet. For nearly two hours,
• 48:18
  we waited and strained silence, as random footsteps traversed the
• 48:21
  fourth floor every so often what was happening For the
• 48:25
  first time victims of whatever was going on down below
• 48:28
  and chosen to be quiet instead of yelling for help?
• 48:30
  How would that make things different? Long last, the sobbing
• 48:33
  man broke the silence coming your way, it'll see you
• 48:39
  hit your bars. Sound of clinging echoed up the stairwell.
• 48:43
  Sobbing man said with terrors. We were no longer silent.
• 48:49
  We echoed that sentiment loudly and repeatedly to the guard
• 48:52
  do something. Just stood there, literally quaking in his boots.
• 48:57
  Will screamed at him.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: Snap out of it. The other ards the prisoner's gone away.
• 49:01
  You can't too.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: Whatever it is, it won't follow you if you let
• 49:04
  him out and leave, I shouted, They're gonna die down there.
• 49:08
  Dante threw his shoe and the impact finally snapped a
• 49:11
  man out of his tair guard ran to the stairwell
• 49:13
  and descended. The first thing we heard him say was
• 49:16
  it taken back Mary, Father Christ sobbing man again, over here,
• 49:21
  for God's sakes, let us out. The other prisoner wasn't
• 49:24
  talking for some reason, but hears gasping terror. But that
• 49:27
  too went quiet. Then we heard a buzzer, and all
• 49:30
  the gates on floor slammed loudly open. Sounds of panting,
• 49:34
  running and someone dragging something followed. The prison went silent.
• 49:38
  Just like that, we were alone again. The formerly crowded
• 49:42
  prison now felt terrifyingly large and empty, with only twenty
• 49:45
  of us and no guards. That night, the unmistakable sound
• 49:49
  of footsteps echoed from down below. I counted time as
• 49:53
  best I could. Forty minutes someone took three steps out
• 49:56
  of a cell and into the hallway. Now we're in
• 49:59
  six minutes someone ran ten steps along the hallway and
• 50:02
  stopped abruptly. Twenty eight minutes, footsteps approached the stairwell, but
• 50:06
  then turned into a cell and went silent. The thing was,
• 50:10
  whoever it was, sounded barefoot starting and stopping. Locations did
• 50:14
  not match where they ended. It was often nowhere near
• 50:17
  where they began again later. That's pretty all the little
• 50:21
  like clues would get to this. Things terrifying that we
• 50:23
  don't see it, but we hear people talking about it.
• 50:25
  But I also love that, like, whatever happens is these
• 50:28
  people they're moving somewhere down there, but it's almost like
• 50:31
  they're floating in between locations or somewhere They're very quiet,
• 50:35
  then they get loud and stuff. By the time dawn came,
• 50:38
  we were scared into motionless, terrified silence, and it took
• 50:41
  Kellen's arrival for us to begin stirring again. With GCG
• 50:44
  and bankruptcy court. We no longer had a night guard
• 50:47
  at all. If it came for us, there would be
• 50:50
  nobody to let us out of our cells. Like everyone else,
• 50:52
  we hardly talked, We hardly ate. Each passing day was
• 50:56
  a grain of sand falling through an hourglass marking our execution.
• 51:00
  Our fellows began confessing to crimes they hadn't even committed,
• 51:03
  just to get transferred to supermax out of state. The
• 51:06
  only option left well that suicide attempts. One by one,
• 51:12
  Kellen escorted or dragged guys out of our floor twenty
• 51:15
  He became fifteen and ten. Then it was just me
• 51:18
  and Dante, with Will still in the cell to our left,
• 51:21
  three of us and Kellen, four men waiting for doom.
• 51:25
  We sat playing card games and the week's leading up
• 51:28
  to it, it would be one full year for me
• 51:30
  in that place, but I could swear I'd spend a
• 51:32
  lifetime in that cell. I couldn't think, couldn't remember life before,
• 51:37
  couldn't imagine surviving after. Every day I prayed for a
• 51:41
  transfer to come in. But North Dakota had gotten sick
• 51:44
  of our shit. The judges had stopped hearing cases from
• 51:47
  him being a prison. They didn't know there were only
• 51:49
  three of us left. Nobody knew. Contacted the media, We
• 51:54
  phoned the governor's office. We made a ruckus that was
• 51:57
  worse than nobody knowing. Turned out nobody cared. Two. There
• 52:03
  was nobody higher up at the GCG following the situation,
• 52:06
  and Kellen couldn't get anybody on the phone. Payroll, meaning
• 52:10
  just his paycheck was being handled by a third party
• 52:13
  disbursement company that couldn't answer questions about ongoing proceedings. The
• 52:18
  week approached. On Monday night, nothing happened. We were like
• 52:22
  statues in ourselves alone, waiting for a sign of the
• 52:25
  executioner's approach. When dawn came, we sighed and began moving again.
• 52:31
  Dante asked you get out on Friday. I nodded, things
• 52:36
  went like before to be released the day of As
• 52:39
  long as I left before sundown, be all right. Tuesday night,
• 52:43
  nothing happened. Two for two one more, one more day
• 52:48
  sat through the darkness until no The feeling of the
• 52:53
  prison had changed around us. A subtle heartbeat seemed to
• 52:56
  pulse against our faces and ears and eyes that had
• 52:59
  come a day earlier in the week than the last time.
• 53:02
  That morning, Will patted my arms, who both leaned out
• 53:05
  the bars. Sorry, man, don Jay just shook his head angrily.
• 53:09
  I wasn't going to get out in time. On Wednesday night,
• 53:13
  the heartbeat became the sound of footsteps approaching from some
• 53:16
  unfathomable distance. I think I stood at the bars of
• 53:19
  ourselves that entire day, fingers wrapped around metal with force
• 53:23
  to match the tension in the air and in our minds.
• 53:25
  This couldn't happen. This wouldn't happen. My lawyer would walk
• 53:29
  in and tell me he'd got in the judge's unfair
• 53:31
  addition of an extra day removed one day, one damn day.
• 53:37
  Even if I'd spend the whole year in this prison,
• 53:39
  one day still met life or death. Let me out,
• 53:42
  Let me the hell out, for God's sake. But nobody cared.
• 53:46
  Nobody would listen. I'd like to tell you that Helen
• 53:50
  saved late that night. I'd like to tell you that
• 53:53
  when the entire floor began to glow red always the cells,
• 53:57
  the stone itself, whatever on godly abomination in the earth,
• 54:01
  began to wake upon the changing of the season, as
• 54:04
  distant footsteps became a traveler at the door of our minds.
• 54:08
  I'd like to tell you that Kellen was there, hit
• 54:11
  the button, opened the gates, and let us all out.
• 54:14
  I'd like to tell you that I didn't see anything
• 54:17
  that I'm not permanently a broken man. I didn't claw
• 54:21
  the walls of my cell so that approached slowly, move
• 54:24
  in a few steps every twenty to seventy minutes. I'd
• 54:27
  like to tell you that all three of us were
• 54:29
  able to run away, to escape that horror upon reality.
• 54:33
  That's rotting hands and blind eyes radiating crimson light as
• 54:37
  it searched.
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: For us at random.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: But I can't give you a satisfying end to this story.
• 54:43
  The disbursement company fired Kellen to change the locks on
• 54:45
  the property. Bored into their paperwork. All the prisoners had
• 54:49
  been moved, and they thought he'd been getting paid for
• 54:52
  guarding an empty prison. They left us in there for
• 54:55
  eleven days before the air was found. Spent eleven nights
• 55:00
  that thing for eleven days, we starved. For eleven nights,
• 55:05
  we sat absolutely still, not daring to move or breathe,
• 55:09
  or even look left or right. Knew where we were
• 55:13
  generally so right outside ourselves for hours, sometimes walked right
• 55:18
  through the bars and grasped at the beds around us,
• 55:21
  daring us to make even the slightest motion. When you've
• 55:25
  spent six hours staring into the blind crimson eyes of
• 55:28
  a rotting demon, unable to blink your eyes for fear
• 55:31
  that it will hear the air your lashes move, When
• 55:35
  you've seen what I've seen the world it's walked, reflected
• 55:39
  and hellish red, you'll understand no one cares. I'd like
• 55:44
  to tell you that Kellen actually existed. I'd like to
• 55:47
  tell you we had a friend among the guards, that
• 55:49
  it wasn't all bad. I'd like to tell you I
• 55:52
  wasn't traumatized by the hell I went through. Being left
• 55:54
  to rot and left to die is nothing more than
• 55:57
  a number on some corporation's books. But no one cares.
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: End of story.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: That was fine. I like that one.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: That was a good one.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: That's a really cool idea that there's a there's like
• 56:07
  a curse prison, that this thing rises up through I
• 56:10
  also like to mention of the end of Kelton's not real.
• 56:12
  That's kind of just like, oh, this is how we
• 56:14
  found out our information, but that's not No one actually
• 56:17
  cared about us. There was no one there to help
• 56:18
  us out in the midst of this.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was uh really, I mean like the build
• 56:23
  up was really really nice. Yeah, really fucking creepy.
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: And it's like it's like prowling around this thing, slowly
• 56:30
  moving looking for people, like it's come to collect its
• 56:33
  due of anyone who camps by the river, and the
• 56:35
  prisoners counts people that are camping, but it's slow and
• 56:38
  it takes its time to move and float around and
• 56:41
  stuff like that. I think that's really cool. Yeah.
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: I think that like a really great payoff, great build
• 56:46
  up to the same that I felt whenever we read
• 56:49
  a psychosis and stuff kind of like a weird conspiracy thing.
• 56:52
  Has there ever been like the GDC in this, you
• 56:54
  know how like in government documents people say there's like, oh,
• 56:58
  there's aliens and stuff. Has there ever been anything with
• 57:00
  like paranormal stuff in official documents?
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: Hazard? Noah, Oh, I didn't know that. Well, do you mean,
• 57:09
  what do you mean about paranormal stuff like investigation into
• 57:11
  the paranormal. Yes, confirmed, like ghosts exists, no, right, right, right,
• 57:16
  But there's stuff like like if you like got a
• 57:18
  bunch of the old CIA files, there was a ton
• 57:20
  of stuff background, like the sixties and seventies where they
• 57:23
  did experiments to try to understand if there was something
• 57:25
  to like telepathy. So they got like a bunch of
• 57:29
  professional telepathics and like have them conduct a bunch of experiments.
• 57:33
  They did a bunch of experiments with the hallucinogenics to
• 57:35
  see if people were able to like astrally project and
• 57:39
  stuff like that. So there was one called Operation Sunbeam,
• 57:43
  I believe it was where they gave people like LSD
• 57:46
  and stuff like that, and they called it controlling where
• 57:50
  they would try to pilot where they were projecting themselves
• 57:52
  to is the MOVI.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: Is that what that movie the Menu Steric Ghosts was
• 57:55
  based about.
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: Not actually projecting like that, but it's a similar thing
• 58:01
  of Like that was during World War Two, So that
• 58:03
  was oss that was like pre experiments. Oh okay, but
• 58:06
  same idea. But there's some crazy stories from operations, some
• 58:10
  being where like people reported that they found the arc
• 58:12
  at the Covenant in a cave in the Middle East
• 58:15
  and people who reported, what.
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: About the fucking Middle East giants or whatever? What the
• 58:19
  fuck was that about?
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: Remember that happened? Yeah, the Afghanistan giants, yep giants and kandor.
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: I think it was.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: Do people say, is that like is that a meme
• 58:26
  or is that like a it comes from?
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: So there's you know, the stories of biblical giants and
• 58:31
  stuff like that, which is my you know, if you
• 58:33
  watch I make it to I've made a bunch of
• 58:35
  videos and like references to biblical giants and stuff like that.
• 58:38
  I think they're really interesting topic. But the rumor is
• 58:42
  that graves and like sides of them exist in the
• 58:45
  Middle East that have been covered up by like governments,
• 58:48
  and there's been a bunch of political interests to try
• 58:50
  to keep information of them secret, and that there's passageways
• 58:53
  in the mountains and like Iraq and Afghanistan leads down
• 58:56
  to places where they could still exist. So the story
• 58:58
  is in twenty twelve, I believe if there was a
• 59:00
  group of rangers who got into combat with something and
• 59:04
  a bunch of them were killed, and it's supposedly a
• 59:06
  cover up that they were searching in caves for insurgents
• 59:09
  and ran into a giant that killed several of them
• 59:13
  until eventually the area was like blown to bits and
• 59:16
  then the whole thing kept hush hush. But the story
• 59:19
  is that a group of army rangers ran into a
• 59:21
  giant in Afghanistan. Interesting, there's a I mean that's not
• 59:25
  official document. It's more of like a fun conspiracy theory thing,
• 59:27
  but there are official documents with the CI and like
• 59:29
  mk Ultra for example, most of m kulture was if
• 59:32
  you could like change someone's mind and like make them
• 59:35
  into the perfect soldier through psychotropics and like breaking them
• 59:38
  down with drugs and stuff like that. And there's a
• 59:40
  bunch of stuff done there to see if like you
• 59:42
  could basically make people be telepathic. Part of MKA culture
• 59:46
  was giving LSD to dolphins to see if they could
• 59:48
  learn to communicate with humans. Off of that, for the dolphins, yeah, yeah,
• 59:54
  they actually started speaking in a new like cadence that know,
• 59:57
  other dolphins would amongst themselves. So it seems they did
• 1:00:00
  create their own like communication with each other. Yeah, we
• 1:00:08
  gotta believe that, all right. So one final story tonight, Yeah,
• 1:00:14
  we're reading. My students submitted the most disturbing living history
• 1:00:17
  project I've ever seen, and this is posted by Gretelcat.
• 1:00:20
  We haven't read anything from gretel Cat before. It looks
• 1:00:22
  like they only have two stories ever posted no Sleep,
• 1:00:24
  and it was like eight to nine years ago. But
• 1:00:26
  this story has twenty four thousand up votes.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, a bunch of people were super into this,
• 1:00:31
  so it seems they had a couple of bangers and
• 1:00:33
  it just dropped off that. So we'll leave the LinkedIn
• 1:00:37
  description gretel Cat. If you somehow watch this and you
• 1:00:39
  want to make more stories, here's your audience. Keep writing,
• 1:00:43
  keep rutting, but for now, into their story. One of
• 1:00:46
  my least favorite parts about being obviously everyone will be
• 1:00:50
  linked in the script. If you want to support the artists,
• 1:00:52
  please do they deserve it. One of my least favorite
• 1:00:55
  parts about being a middle school history teacher is the
• 1:00:57
  bullshit living history assignments we give. It the end of
• 1:01:00
  every school year, kids are supposed to sit with their grandparents, videotape,
• 1:01:04
  voice record, or transcribe their oldest memories for posterity and
• 1:01:08
  for an easy way to bring up their GPA. I've
• 1:01:11
  been doing this for seventeen years and when I collected
• 1:01:14
  the projects this time around, I assumed they would be
• 1:01:17
  as dull, if not duller, than usual. This had not
• 1:01:20
  been a particularly bright class, so I went home, boreed
• 1:01:24
  myself a class of wine, and prepared for a long
• 1:01:26
  night of I only owned two pairs of pants when
• 1:01:29
  I was your age, and my brother got beat with
• 1:01:32
  a newspaper for hitting a baseball into an aghbor's yard.
• 1:01:35
  And of course these projects were peppered with innocent old
• 1:01:38
  person comments that were so horribly sexist and racist you
• 1:01:42
  just had to laugh. Now, I had a girl in
• 1:01:44
  my class whom I will call Olivia. She was pudgy, quiet,
• 1:01:48
  and proved herself a consistent beast student I expected from
• 1:01:52
  and just dog in this kid. I expected her project
• 1:01:59
  to be as unremardable as her. Would you consider that
• 1:02:02
  on it?
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: We're getting at a little blow of the bell?
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: Is that?
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: How does Why did both of you turn and look
• 1:02:13
  at the look at what you? You looked up there?
• 1:02:18
  And the nick spun around in his chair really quick.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't look up there. I was I was
• 1:02:22
  just looking at the light off the it's from the deal.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: I was just looking at that. Also, how does that look?
• 1:02:28
  Did you turn your screen brightness up.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: On this one.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, some of them, it keeps, it keeps the longing
• 1:02:36
  stick to keep tapping out.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: I just look over look like the sun. I expected
• 1:02:44
  her project to be as unremarkable as her, and perhaps
• 1:02:47
  that's why I was so profoundly disturbed. But when I
• 1:02:49
  witnessed that night, Olivia had submitted two discs for some reason.
• 1:02:53
  So I began with the one marked interview. My screen
• 1:02:56
  hiccup twice before grainy image of a living room came
• 1:02:59
  into view. The place was a hoarder's hell. Olivia was
• 1:03:03
  curled up in an armchair, clutching a notebook and looking
• 1:03:06
  like a scared animal. Cross from her, said a man
• 1:03:09
  with a somber countenance, smoking a cigarette and staring at
• 1:03:11
  her expectantly. Go ahead, woman's voice whispered from behind the camera.
• 1:03:17
  Olivia's owlish eyes flashed towards the screen back to the man.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: I am here with my great uncle Stephen.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: She began, almost inaudibly.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: He's going to tell us about his oldest memories from
• 1:03:28
  being in the army.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: Great uncle Stephen looked like he'd rather be in the
• 1:03:33
  damn trench at the moment, but he waited patiently for
• 1:03:36
  the questions to begin. Not surprisingly, Olivia read verbatim from
• 1:03:40
  the suggested question she'd I had handed out to the students.
• 1:03:43
  He answered her curtly. Once or twice I heard her
• 1:03:46
  mother whisper speak up Olivia from behind the camera. Typical
• 1:03:50
  boring shit. So I was intrigued when Olivia sat down.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: The notebook and asked, did you like being in the army?
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: That was totally off script. Great Uncle Stephen admitted a
• 1:04:00
  chain smoker's wheeze.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: Nope, I got to get it out of my town. Though,
• 1:04:07
  where did you go Balkans? Uh?
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: I doubt she knew what the Balkans were, and my
• 1:04:14
  suspicion was confirmed when she.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: Asked, was Balkis very different from here? Yes?
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: Cleared her throat from behind the camera, perhaps encouraging Great
• 1:04:23
  Uncle Stephen to be a little more forthcoming. But Olivia
• 1:04:27
  seemed genuinely interested.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: Uncle Stephen, what is your very worst memory from the army?
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: I'm starting to see what she's a beast student, just
• 1:04:38
  chowing down double stuff, oreos why she's asked these questions.
• 1:04:41
  She's taking off tops and putting them together. Quadruple stuff,
• 1:04:44
  Uncle Stephen, dipping them in water, God.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: Water her favorite cookie, like it's a hot dog contest.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: Exactly, that's not the same.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: The all man crushed his cigarette in the ash tree
• 1:04:59
  and slowly lifted himself out of his chair. I'll be back,
• 1:05:04
  Amy cut off. Then the screen flashed back on. Everything
• 1:05:08
  was the same except great Uncle Stephen had several pieces
• 1:05:10
  of paper and plastic sleeves laid it off to all
• 1:05:13
  the crap sitting on his coffee table. One he held
• 1:05:16
  in his hand. I was a kid when I was enlisted,
• 1:05:19
  he said, looking at Olivia, your brother's age. Olivia nodded.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 8: I never saw combat. Both of my diployments were to
• 1:05:28
  cities in eastern Europe that had been destroyed by some wars,
• 1:05:31
  and everything was a mess. And I feel like a
• 1:05:33
  janitors for fox It.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, Uncle Stephen's sighed and looked at his paper.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 8: My unit was a scientist school that had been obliterated
• 1:05:42
  by all the violence, broken windows caved in rooms, and
• 1:05:46
  for some reason, the part that got me was the
• 1:05:50
  most was the school had been like this for years
• 1:05:52
  before we got there. No one had lifted a finger
• 1:05:55
  to fix it. They saw kids walk by it on
• 1:05:57
  the way to go beg for money for whatever.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: Shit they did.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: Cameron dipped towards the floor. I heard Mom was propartially
• 1:06:05
  a great Uncle Stephen. I couldn't make out what she
• 1:06:08
  was saying, but it wasn't hard to imagine you why
• 1:06:11
  have a goddamn story or that heard him parking response?
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: Did you better let me tell how I wanted? Mom?
• 1:06:18
  Please stop interrupting. Are you presenting this in front of
• 1:06:21
  the class? No? Mom, we're just heading into the teacher.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 4: I'm sure he's heard worship before.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: Great Uncle Steven contributed helpfully. It wasn't a he as
• 1:06:31
  a matter of fact, but other than that statement was accurate.
• 1:06:34
  Camera was lifted and after a couple of blurry focus adjustments,
• 1:06:38
  the shot was the same as before.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 3: I'm talking too much anyway.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: I lifted the piece of paper in his hand close
• 1:06:44
  to his face.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 8: In the basement, I found this letter. I didn't know
• 1:06:49
  what it said, but I had a buddy in my
• 1:06:51
  translated so I'm gonna read it now. I'll tell you
• 1:06:55
  what I saw in the basement.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: Jill ran down my spine. Mom zoomed in too. Great
• 1:07:01
  Uncle Stephen in his letter. His palsied hands trembled as
• 1:07:05
  he held up the paper. This is what he read here, sir,
• 1:07:10
  and never loved my country. So many of these skirmishes
• 1:07:13
  are born from patriotism, a power struggle for the shards
• 1:07:17
  of a once great empire. And I do not care
• 1:07:20
  what name my home has on a map. It's fighting
• 1:07:23
  as senseless. I stay as far away from it as
• 1:07:25
  I can. It was not these attacks and disorganized violence
• 1:07:29
  but took the lives of my wife and child. It
• 1:07:31
  was illness, mercifully and having quickly for the baby, Nacha
• 1:07:36
  suffered for longer, washed in horror, knowing I could do
• 1:07:40
  nothing for them. My only solace is said I was
• 1:07:43
  there for them every step of the way. Stopped going
• 1:07:46
  to work one day, and no one came after me.
• 1:07:49
  I doubt they noticed I was gone. Since the school
• 1:07:53
  was simply across a field visible from my window. It
• 1:07:56
  would have been easy to go for a few hours
• 1:07:58
  each day, come home quickly to care for them. What
• 1:08:02
  was the point? All I did was clean floors. I
• 1:08:05
  was as useless as the world as I was to
• 1:08:07
  my family. I tried to take knowledge to the hospital,
• 1:08:10
  but the journey was too long and taxing. I brought
• 1:08:13
  her home and she died that night. After Nadge and
• 1:08:16
  the baby were gone. Well, I don't remember much. I
• 1:08:20
  didn't leave my hovel, barely ate and slept, thought many
• 1:08:24
  times of taking my own life empty. Though it was
• 1:08:27
  felt paralyzed by my own helplessness. The one thing that
• 1:08:31
  kept me saying was my radio. Never turned it off once,
• 1:08:35
  even though I didn't listen to the words being said back.
• 1:08:38
  The channel I got the clearest was in English, I think,
• 1:08:41
  which I don't speak a lick of. But the voices,
• 1:08:44
  the music, the true knowledge that life existed beyond this
• 1:08:47
  violent city sustained me. I have no idea how long
• 1:08:51
  passed before I saw the light of day again. It
• 1:08:54
  was dizzy from hunger. Finding food was my priority. My
• 1:08:58
  radio came with me, of course, as I first hold
• 1:09:02
  myself up. It's gone everywhere with me. It talks to
• 1:09:06
  me as I sleep and as I wake. I don't
• 1:09:08
  know what it's saying, but now I would die without it.
• 1:09:12
  Once I had some water and food, it occurred to
• 1:09:14
  me that the only thing left to do was to
• 1:09:15
  go back to work, so I did. The following morning,
• 1:09:19
  I simply returned to the school where I was a janitor,
• 1:09:22
  got back to work. Nobody made a big deal out
• 1:09:25
  of it. Like I said, Naja had been sick a
• 1:09:28
  long time, and those who worked at the school knew it.
• 1:09:31
  I appreciate that no one had pestered me to come
• 1:09:34
  back to work during the hardest days of my life.
• 1:09:37
  The teacher has never said much to me, but we
• 1:09:39
  smiled at each other in the halls, and that mutual
• 1:09:41
  respect was perhaps the reason I decided to come back.
• 1:09:43
  In all, place had gone to the dogs without me,
• 1:09:46
  so I simply grabbed my broom and rags from my
• 1:09:49
  closet and set to cleaning. Everyone is grateful to have
• 1:09:52
  me back, I know. And the best part is that
• 1:09:55
  nobody minds my radio. I bring it with me everywhere,
• 1:10:00
  volume low enough not to disrupt the students. No one
• 1:10:04
  has ever complained. In fact, I suspect they like it.
• 1:10:08
  Schoolhouse is not very big but does require a lot
• 1:10:10
  of maintenance. Floors are always sticky and stained, so I
• 1:10:14
  spend most of my time mopping kids make messes. I
• 1:10:18
  guess that's why I'm still in business. Sometimes I have
• 1:10:21
  to move things around to make sure I get every
• 1:10:22
  spot on the floor beautiful and clean, but I take
• 1:10:25
  pride in that, and the repairs school always needs tune
• 1:10:29
  ups here and there. I'm happy to help. Some days
• 1:10:32
  I'm reconstructing a desks that broke because I whistle along
• 1:10:35
  with the radio. Other times I handle more serious structural issues.
• 1:10:40
  Days when I have work like this, I feel truly instrumental,
• 1:10:43
  like a cog and a larger machine. How could the
• 1:10:46
  school survive without me? It took me a long time,
• 1:10:50
  but I once again film that I have purpose. There
• 1:10:53
  is a larder behind the school and is full of
• 1:10:56
  preserved food. Really, with payment, I'm allowed to take as
• 1:10:59
  much food as I I need. That arrangement's fine. What
• 1:11:03
  would I do with money anyway? I used to bring
• 1:11:05
  the food back to my home, one field away from
• 1:11:08
  the school. When I started sleeping in the basement. No
• 1:11:11
  one seemed to notice. School is special to me, and
• 1:11:14
  I cannot leave it unguarded when I'm besieged with memories
• 1:11:18
  my wife and baby. Turning to volume on the radio
• 1:11:21
  to drown out such thoughts works for me every time.
• 1:11:26
  Up this morning, because this morning I woke up in
• 1:11:31
  dead silence, I frantically examined the radio to see what
• 1:11:34
  had happened. I honestly cannot tell how many days in
• 1:11:37
  a row i've been using it did simply live out
• 1:11:40
  its life and die naturally. Spent the entire day trying
• 1:11:44
  to fix it. Most of this time I've been crying.
• 1:11:47
  I'm losing my mind without it. I've given myself until sundown.
• 1:11:52
  If I cannot fix it by then, I'm going to
• 1:11:54
  take my life. I'm writing this because the sunlight starting
• 1:11:57
  to die, and I know what my fate shall be.
• 1:12:00
  Thought about taking one last walk to the halls of
• 1:12:02
  my school, saying goodbye to the students and teachers. I
• 1:12:06
  know I will be missed. I cannot bring myself to
• 1:12:09
  leave this room. I cannot go anywhere knowing that my
• 1:12:12
  radio is dead. In here, there are no more tears
• 1:12:15
  in me. It feels now like I can't catch my breath.
• 1:12:19
  I vomited what little food I had in my stomach.
• 1:12:22
  I'm growing dizzy again, like I did after Nauja died.
• 1:12:26
  I am not long for this world. But before I
• 1:12:28
  take my life, I have closed the door to this
• 1:12:31
  room and stuck a chair beneath the handle. See the
• 1:12:34
  only room in the basement and has a small casement
• 1:12:36
  that looks in just enough light for me to see
• 1:12:38
  what I am doing. Anyone's kind enough to come looking
• 1:12:41
  for me. I should not be met with this gruesome sight.
• 1:12:45
  Perhaps they we'll see the door is blocked. Smell my
• 1:12:47
  rotting body. Simply forget I ever existed. But I've placed
• 1:12:52
  my radio and this note outside the door. Kind sir,
• 1:12:56
  if you are reading this, I have one humble request,
• 1:13:00
  please fix it. Save my radio. Did not deserve to
• 1:13:05
  dine and sleep, and I am ashamed. I cannot revive it.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: I'm ready to join Nauda and little Ludmilla in heaven.
• 1:13:13
  I hope the school can find another janitor who loves
• 1:13:16
  and cares for it the way I do. The hours now,
• 1:13:20
  do not forget my radio, Stanislav. When Mom zoomed back out,
• 1:13:25
  Olivia had tears in her eyes.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 3: Thank you for sharing, Uncle Stephen.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: Mom said, her voice choked.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 3: I think we have enough.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: Wait, Olivia chirped.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: He said, there's more. What did you find?
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: Poor great Uncle Stephen could open his mouth. The image disappeared.
• 1:13:42
  A jaw dropped.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 3: Was that it?
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: But what did great Uncle Stephen see? I promptly remembered
• 1:13:49
  that there was a second disc. This one was unmarked,
• 1:13:51
  but I hope to contain the rest of the interview.
• 1:13:55
  There was no video, only audio voice started up. It
• 1:13:59
  was Olivia.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 3: Yes, I am miss Gary, I'm serre a boy, my mom,
• 1:14:03
  but she refused to record the rest of what my
• 1:14:05
  uncle was saying. But I asked him to continue and
• 1:14:07
  secret record the story as a voicemanb on my phone.
• 1:14:10
  I remember you said earlier this year that history was
• 1:14:12
  written by the people who win wars.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: He sucked in a breath and commenced crime.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: But everyone's history is important, even if they are said
• 1:14:20
  pathetic people, even if they never won a single thing
• 1:14:24
  in their life. I haven't slept the night since I
• 1:14:26
  finished this project, but you have to hear what my
• 1:14:29
  uncle has to say.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: Her tears in my eyes too. Sincerity of her words
• 1:14:34
  was beautiful. It was also flattered that she had remembered
• 1:14:37
  some trite phrase I threw around because it was what
• 1:14:39
  my history teacher said to me before I got too
• 1:14:42
  sappy over it. The audio began again. Fine, came mom's
• 1:14:47
  frustrated voice.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: Twenty of the rest of the story. Fine, but this
• 1:14:49
  is not appropriate for our school project. Let me finish.
• 1:14:53
  It was too much for you help yourself to a
• 1:14:55
  snack in the kitchen. But Lilly wants to know what happened?
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: Heard her mother mumbled something and walk away. Levia and
• 1:15:02
  her uncle were alone, imagined her, looking at him expectantly.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: So did you find the read you? Or did you
• 1:15:08
  get room? The in the school got blown up?
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: He rasped. When I heard it distinct of a lighter.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 3: That letter. I had a date on it?
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 4: What date?
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: It was?
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 4: Dated?
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 3: Two weeks before we started rebuilding the school. Didn't you
• 1:15:24
  say the school had been destroyed like two years ago?
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: It had been.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: Ah, that's pretty cool. That's cool. Does I'll be honest,
• 1:15:34
  like the letter was cool and stuff. I'm like, where's
• 1:15:36
  this going? Like what's the what's that get around to?
• 1:15:38
  But that that's that's a fun reveal.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: I like that.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: There was silence as I felt goosebumps on my arms.
• 1:15:44
  The images that came to my mind were almost too
• 1:15:46
  overwhelming to express, but great Uncle Stephen put them into
• 1:15:50
  words effortlessly. Literally, he had spent his whole life thinking
• 1:15:54
  about it.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 8: This man, this Stanislav went to went to a fand
• 1:15:59
  a live used to falling apart schoolhouse and cleaned up
• 1:16:02
  blood and rubbled like it was spilt drinks and dust.
• 1:16:05
  He smiled at dead bodies in the hallway and believed
• 1:16:08
  they were smiling back at him because they liked his radio.
• 1:16:12
  He moved around corpses so he could swooped the ground
• 1:16:15
  under them. The roof half collapsed, so when it rained,
• 1:16:18
  he must have gotten silking wet, but was so oblivious
• 1:16:22
  that he didn't even feel a thing.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: I could hear Olivia grind stintly.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 4: I found the larder he was talking about.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 3: It was a pickle.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 5: There was the food that probably tastes like shit. Most
• 1:16:34
  of the stuff was moldy. Did did you see the
• 1:16:38
  dead body? Yes, hanging him from the ceiling, but still
• 1:16:44
  amazingly lifelike. He wasn't running away. This hadn't happened years ago.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: Did he look peaceful, yes, sort of desperation in your voice.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 3: Couldn't tell you. The smell was rank, and his face
• 1:16:59
  was blue and his eyes bulging like this.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: Imagine him demonstrating the radio. Her great uncle Steven take
• 1:17:07
  a long track off his cigarette.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 4: It was there, right and it was still on.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: That's fun.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 4: Wow, that's good.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: Wow. All right. So in the midst of it, about
• 1:17:19
  midway through, that was kind of like where you know.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: Beautifully written story, but what is the what's the catch? Yeah, yeah,
• 1:17:24
  it's like what I was kind of waiting for a reveal, you.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: Wait for the shoe to fall. It's like, all right,
• 1:17:29
  I see it, well done and stuff. But then with
• 1:17:32
  the schools destroyed, he's clean up the revel and that
• 1:17:34
  last line radio was still on. It's like, then, what
• 1:17:37
  was the switch that made him not see through the delusion?
• 1:17:40
  Part of the delusion ended? And there's so many different.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: Layers of stuff of a war torn person. I mean,
• 1:17:47
  like not now even the the top comment talking lost.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: His family to illness? Was that even true? Maybe who knows?
• 1:17:52
  I mean to take him?
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: He could have been the war that took him.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: Devastating, But man, I will say today too fucking amazing story.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: Wow, and I went really good.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: And I really really want to read another one of
• 1:18:03
  the other Gretel Cat story immediately because that was a
• 1:18:06
  punch of the fun.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: That one that the ending of that was sick. The
• 1:18:10
  radio was still on. Ah, that's so good. It's it's like,
• 1:18:13
  what what did his mind construct to where he was
• 1:18:18
  in a normal school but the radio quit working when
• 1:18:20
  in reality he was cleaning rubble and the radio was fine,
• 1:18:23
  Like what what was he seen? What did reality look like?
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: Because it just lets the viewer just run with it
• 1:18:29
  of like what the fuck happened. It's one of those
• 1:18:31
  things too that the author probably has such a clear
• 1:18:33
  picture in their head, but they just didn't. They just
• 1:18:36
  know not to like totally give it all to you,
• 1:18:38
  you know, because that level of mystery, I mean, you're
• 1:18:40
  you're in the same boat as the teacher. Also was
• 1:18:42
  what a fun premise to is a setup of like, oh,
• 1:18:44
  we do these stupid living history assignments and it's just
• 1:18:48
  such a great setup.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: It's like, oh, this is dumb, but here we go
• 1:18:51
  to it again. Well, here's a weird one. I came
• 1:18:53
  across also to stories, even the stuff like the beginning
• 1:18:56
  where it says that his house looked like a hoarder
• 1:19:00
  and stuff everywhere. There was so much little context you
• 1:19:02
  didn't get till the end, you know, And that line
• 1:19:05
  she says where it's like you can tell Uncle Sam,
• 1:19:07
  which his name is Uncle Sam. Yeah, but where she
• 1:19:11
  says you can tell Uncle Sam had spent his life
• 1:19:13
  thinking about this question. You know, what did it? It's
• 1:19:16
  like I don't know. The radio was still on, Like
• 1:19:17
  that's haunted him.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: Decades since. Yeah, I think two stories that were awesome
• 1:19:23
  for this setting. I mean, I will say the first
• 1:19:25
  story got me pretty scared and stuff, and I think
• 1:19:28
  that just a fucking eerie fun time it was. I
• 1:19:31
  hope that it was as fun to watch as it
• 1:19:33
  was to be in here recording the shit, because it
• 1:19:35
  was pretty crazy. But guys, this is our story.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: I also want to addro quick to give Gretel Cat
• 1:19:40
  another shout out. Remember I said she has one other story.
• 1:19:43
  The title of the one other story is the Animals
• 1:19:45
  on My Farm Always killed the newborns.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: Oh that's fun.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so well, to check it out some time. Yeah, so,
• 1:19:52
  Gretel Kat, maybe.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: We can read it while you're in town.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: That'd be fun. Yeah. N fifty nine guar And then
• 1:19:57
  the other two stories is the bath one in the portraits,
• 1:19:59
  one r anonymous but classics. So hopefully you all enjoyed
• 1:20:02
  two ogs or original game and OG and then two
• 1:20:06
  really good stories off not It was.
