5 Horrific Tales of Bloody Thanksgivings!
Tonight, we dive into the dark and twisted tales that dance around Thanksgiving—a time traditionally filled with gratitude, food, and family gatherings, but here, it takes a chilling turn!
As the leaves fall and the air turns crisp, we remind ourselves that Halloween may have passed, but the thrill of fear is alive and well as we prepare for the upcoming holiday season. From a small-town Thanksgiving dinner gone awry to shocking revelations during a welfare check, each tale will leave you haunted long after the feasting is done.
We kick off our eerie exploration in a small Indiana town where Officer Sophia Cortez embarks on a routine welfare check. What starts as a mundane task escalates into a nightmare as she uncovers a horrific scene that unfolds the dark secrets hidden behind closed doors. The chilling atmosphere will have you on the edge of your seat, pondering the horrors lurking within our own communities.
Next, we venture into the chilling backwoods of Ozark Mountains, where the seemingly mundane practice of hunting takes an unfathomable turn. Sheriff Eldon Hart and his deputy Alex Hargrove discover a grisly mystery involving missing victims and a monstrous secret masquerading as an average Thanksgiving tradition. As the clock ticks, they find themselves battling monstrous turkeys unlike anything you've ever seen—redefining the meaning of being ‘thankful’ in a most grotesque way!
But the horrors don't stop there! In a Friendsgiving gathering where tensions brew and friendships are tested, we witness a tale of betrayal, envy, and the supernatural. A group of friends returns home only to realize that the bonds they share may not be enough to save them from a vengeful spirit seeking retribution. This festive gathering unravels into a horrific reflection of past grievances, with life or death on the line.
And just when you think the horror has reached its peak, we bring in a story that dives into family tradition steeped in grotesque betrayal, filled with twists and turns that will make you question everything you know about the home-cooked Thanksgiving feast. As ancestors' rituals are uncovered and the turkeys serve more than just a meal, our protagonist must learn the truth lurking beneath the surface of their family’s dining table.
To wrap up this night of fright, be prepared for a shockingly humorous yet blood-curdling finale that digs deep into the darker side of culinary traditions gone horribly awry. Thanksgiving transforms into a suspenseful delight filled with unexpected dangers and revelations about those closest to us, ensuring that this year's celebrations will not be what they seem.
So grab your pumpkin pie, and ensure the doors are locked tight, because you won’t want to miss these spine-tingling stories that remind us to be wary of the monsters that may show up at our Thanksgiving table. Careful what you wish for this holiday season; it might just come with a side of nightmarish horror. Remember, my spookies, I will be back next week with more tales to keep your fears alive. Enjoy the festivities... if you dare!

1
00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:06.360
Well, my spookies, how are you tonight? The Halloween season
2
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:10.039
may be over, but it just so happens that the
3

entire end of the year really is the spookiest of times.
4
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:17.800
And tonight we're going to celebrate a little bit of
5
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:23.079
the scarier side of America's tradition known as Thanksgiving. Every

We're releasing a brand new, terrifying novella, so stay subscribe
16
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:08.560
now enjoy the stories. Thanksgiving Dinner by Rachel Ridolfi, a
17
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:14.959
weekly spooky original. Monticello, Indiana, just an hour and a
18
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.519
half from the infamous Gary and still less than three
19
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.560
hours from Chicago. It was a small town with a
20
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:25.760
population that barely scratched five thousand men, women, and children.
21
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:31.200
Most residents grew up together, worked together, went to school together. Hell,
22
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.439
most of them even frequented the same five churches. That's
23
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:38.959
why when Sophia got the chance to move, she chose Monticello,
24
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:41.719
just close enough to home that she could visit her
25
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.519
family if she chose to, but usually she chose not to.
26
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:50.319
She loved her family, but they were a thorn in
27
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:54.560
her side. Chicago wasn't quite her speed. There was just
28
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:57.319
too much going on all the time, and she just
29
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.239
couldn't cope with all of that, not anymore. Aside from
30
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:03.920
being constantly high strung from all the work she had
31
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:07.000
to do for the city, she also found herself increasingly
32
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:11.280
depressed dealing with the less than responsible members of her precinct.
33
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:14.360
With the recommendation of her chief, and with a little
34
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.439
bit of finagling, when a position opened up, Sophia got
35
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:22.199
herself a cushy job in Monticello, Indiana. She considered it
36
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.680
cushy because she really didn't have to do much or
37
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:29.080
deal with much, aside from the odd noise complaint or
38
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:32.960
writing your standard parking tickets. Sure, in the summer, she
39
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.639
would have to work a little harder to control traffic
40
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.639
or stave off the common drunken tourist. But for the
41
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.039
most part, she really didn't have to work that hard.
42
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.039
It really felt like the only time she was working
43
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:48.919
was May through August. Once the chilly September air hit,
44
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:52.080
everything quieted down and she got a chance to relax.
45
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.360
Sitting in her cruisers, she got a text on her phone.
46
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:58.599
Are you coming or not? The text message from her
47
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:03.199
brother bellowed. Sophia grimaced at her phone, sighed and stretched out.
48
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.840
It had been a long shift already. She really didn't
49
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.560
feel like dealing with her family. She glanced at a
50
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.479
picture on her dashboard before opening up her phone and responding, No,
51
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.800
I'm not coming, The drive is too long. She tapped
52
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:21.800
back three dots. Someone honked across the street, and she
53
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:25.479
glanced up. One elderly driver was taking too long to
54
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.479
make a left turn to light. She decided to ignore it.
55
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:32.800
The response finally chimed, dinner starts at six. Just say
56
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:35.840
you don't want to see us. Okay, fine, I don't
57
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.840
want to see you. She hastily pounded back, then hit send.
58
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.319
She was working the double anyway. Chief Lewis called off
59
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.120
sick and she'd taken his shift. Even if she wanted
60
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.159
to see her family, she couldn't. Her black coffee gave
61
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:51.520
off big puffs of heat vapor. She took a huge,
62
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:55.520
scolding gulp and hissed fuck her at her phone, before
63
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:59.039
glancing back up at traffic. The picture on her dashboard
64
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:03.039
glowered at her end monochromatic tones. The elderly driver had
65
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:06.360
figured out the problem in traffic was moving along fine.
66
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:09.280
It was never busy during noon anyway, but during the
67
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:11.759
holiday season it was so slow she could almost take
68
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.599
a nap. Another ding. She glanced at the home screen
69
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.319
of her phone, which had the banner of but Grandma
70
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:22.720
really misses you her and Mom. She honestly debated opening
71
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.399
up that message. It had been a whole year since
72
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:28.600
her brother had attempted an honest to god conversation with her.
73
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.560
She was curious to see what he would try to
74
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.839
pull this time. Officer Cortes, please report, A familiar and
75
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:39.240
friendly voice chimed, Nancy was always too polite. If she
76
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.680
didn't end a call with please, Sophia would be suspicious.
77
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:47.000
Officer Cortez reporting, Sophia said back, we have a request
78
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.920
for a welfare check at nineteen eleven East Davidson, Please,
79
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.600
Nancy said, Sophia plugged it into her GPS. It was
80
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.759
less than three miles away. Now, this one here is
81
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:01.680
a doozy, Nancy continued. Should have just called animal control,
82
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:06.279
if you please. Officer Cortes talked back through the receiver.
83
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:10.199
If you needed animal control, you should have just called them.
84
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:15.160
Why am I going here? Well, to be honest, Nancy droned.
85
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.360
If she wasn't droning, something was wrong, perfectly honest, mind you.
86
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.240
The animal isn't of the utmost concern, all right, then?
87
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:27.399
So what is Norman Roberts? He ain't been in contact
88
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.000
with his neighbor and his dog is still outside, if
89
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:33.279
you please. Abigail White called and said he hadn't been
90
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:36.759
seen over twelve days. Sophia started her car, and the
91
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:39.199
engine of her cruiser grumbled to life when she followed
92
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:43.000
the directions on her GPS. Oh good, you are going.
93
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:45.319
I'll let Chief Lewis know he don't need to go
94
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:49.319
all the way down there, Nancy said. Sophia paused, furrowed
95
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:53.360
her brows, hissed into the radio. You didn't disturb him,
96
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.480
did you. Oh, I've been keeping him updated on all
97
00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:01.160
activity in the town. Nancy chortled back cheerily. Sophia sighed,
98
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.360
pinched her brow at a stop sign and groaned, let
99
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:08.959
him know I'm handling it, and then just stop please,
100
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:13.519
he needs his rest. Oh sure, Nancy chirped. Sofia headed
101
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.480
forward and followed the directions on her phone. I guess
102
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:21.639
chemo ain't easy after all, the dispatcher noted, No, it's not,
103
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:25.040
Sophia reassured, trying not to look at the picture of
104
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:29.120
her father. Sophia took a turn, waited at a traffic light,
105
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.759
and took another sip of her coffee. Well paved roads
106
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:35.560
gave way to gravel as she headed towards the trailer park.
107
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.319
The soy fields were barren and empty. A corpse of
108
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:43.040
oak trees with vibrant orange leaves towered near a fence line,
109
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:46.040
and a few crows glowered at her from their perch
110
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.639
on the phone lines. The road was bumpy, and her
111
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.439
cruiser had a rough time hopping over all the potholes.
112
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:55.959
Monticello was doing well, but not well enough to buy
113
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.240
new SUV's for the police or repave all the roads,
114
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.160
and even as well as the city was doing It
115
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:04.800
still had its rough areas, just like any city around
116
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:08.759
the world. Sophia just counted herself lucky that this particular
117
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:12.160
city didn't have many of the other issues as elsewhere
118
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:16.160
in the country. While driving past a barren grove of trees,
119
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.839
her phone chimed again another message from her brother, this
120
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:24.560
time insisting Dad would want you here. That almost set
121
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.759
her off. Feeling the blood pounding heart in her arms
122
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.600
and burning the sense of rage in her chest, she paused,
123
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:44.199
took a deep breath, and counted one, two, three, four, five.
124
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:48.199
She released the breath, glanced at the picture of her
125
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:50.759
father in uniform she kept in the car, and scowled,
126
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:55.240
grumbling to herself, Now he's trying to use you against me.
127
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.439
She wouldn't dignify her brother's harassment with a response. She
128
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.079
turned at the entrance of the trailer park and followed
129
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.720
each left hand turned until she came to the address
130
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:08.399
she was looking for. An elderly woman definitely past her
131
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:11.680
seventies rushed out of a trailer and swarmed Sophia's SUV.
132
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:15.959
Are you here for norm, the woman asked. Sophia nodded,
133
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.519
stepped out from the car with hardly a glance at
134
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.480
the photo and considered leaving her phone in the car,
135
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:25.079
but then thought better of it. If this was an emergency,
136
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:28.800
she would want her phone, and if it wasn't well,
137
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:33.600
it was still set on vibrating wouldn't disturb her. The woman, Abigail,
138
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.080
bombarded Sophia with a ti rate of information. I've been
139
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:40.399
waiting for what seems like forever. It's Thanksgiving now, and
140
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:43.480
norm promised to have dinner with me. He always promises,
141
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.440
but rarely keeps them. Almost two weeks ago, though I
142
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:48.639
made him swear on his mama's grave he'd come for
143
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:50.960
Thanksgiving dinner with me, and he ain't said a word.
144
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:54.279
Sophia nodded, took out her notepad, and wrote down any
145
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.519
pertinent information she could discern. There was none. So the
146
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.639
last time you spoke to Norman was twelve days ago,
147
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:06.200
she asked, Yes, twelve days ago. Abigail confirmed with a nod.
148
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:09.039
He'd just got home from a long hall and promised
149
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.960
me a visit today. Sophia closed the door of her
150
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:15.279
car with a slam, and immediately a cacophony of barks
151
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:17.879
sounded from behind the trailer. Within a few moments, the
152
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:21.759
entire park was filled with warning howls of dogs. He
153
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:25.480
does that when anyone comes over, Abigail explained, pointing at
154
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:27.960
the small yard behind the trailer. He's been chained up
155
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.720
this whole time for almost two weeks. Yeah, I just
156
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.600
been giving him food and water, Abigail explained, looking rather sheepish.
157
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.000
Sophia grimaced before the yelping died down and only the
158
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:43.440
baying of Norman's hound remained. Have you tried contacting Norman directly,
159
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:47.240
she pried. Abigail nodded. I banged on the door, both
160
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:51.080
front and back, and he ain't said nothing. She explained.
161
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:53.919
I called him last week, but it went straight to voicemail.
162
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:57.639
Sophia nodded and glanced over at Norman's trailer. None of
163
00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:59.440
the other trailers were in the best of shape, but
164
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:02.519
his this was the most worn down. The paint had
165
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.519
peeled off of practically every inch. All of the windows
166
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.360
had been broken and replaced with plywood. The front door
167
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:10.759
itself was held in place with a patchwork of duct
168
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:13.600
tape and bungee cords. The trailer sat at nearly a
169
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.120
forty five degree angle at the left corner because the
170
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.120
foundation had settled unevenly. She noted a security camera duct
171
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:22.759
tape just above the front door, and she assumed on
172
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:24.919
instinct there was a twin on the other side of
173
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.879
the house. She didn't mention this to Abigail. Officer Cortez
174
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.559
took a step forward and asked, so, when was the
175
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.600
last time you spoke to him directly. Abigail's answer finally
176
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:37.840
raised enough alarm that Sofia had to write down the
177
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.360
answer just about three weeks ago, right before he went
178
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.480
on the road. Noting it and raising an eyebrow, Sofia
179
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.200
took another step forward and the dog in the backyard
180
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:52.039
began to growl again. Another noise like a dog growling,
181
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.039
but very muffled, caught her ear.
182
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:00.320
You're not safe yet. Weekly, Spooky will be right back.
183
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:09.360
Sophia nodded and asked, does he travel often every week?
184
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:12.480
Abigail said, as Sophia took another few steps toward the
185
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:16.960
front door. He's a trucker. Both nodded. Abigail, finding a
186
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:20.320
sense of urgency, yelled back at the dog, hush your face, hank.
187
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:23.519
The dog out back whimpered, then shut up, while the
188
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:27.840
near silent grumbling indoors still continued. The wind picked up
189
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:31.440
and changed direction, and Sophia's nose wrinkled when she caught
190
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:37.039
an acrid, metallic scent. Been stinking like that for almost
191
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:40.600
a week, Abigail said, seeing her face, don't smell good.
192
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:45.159
But it's not a gas leak. No, Sophia agreed, definitely
193
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.039
not a gas leak. She took a step up onto
194
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:51.639
the porch and the dog began barking again. The smell
195
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:56.799
definitely wasn't gas, but it wasn't good. It was bittersweet
196
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:01.600
and smelled of decomposition. It was the smell of death,
197
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:06.919
and she knew it. She'd smelled it before when her
198
00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:14.480
father passed. And you've tried contacting him directly, Sophia pressed,
199
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.399
trying to be heard above the hound, her hand hovering
200
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:21.039
over the doorknob. Abigail nodded. Every day at three pm
201
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:26.440
when the mail comes, Sophia nodded, opening the door. The
202
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:32.480
smell was undeniable. Decomposing flesh was somewhere nearby. Over the
203
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:35.039
howling barks of the dog, she could still hear that
204
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:42.120
growling noise. The door creaked open, The dog whimpered and
205
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:48.639
then fell silent, but the growling continued. Norman Roberts, She
206
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:53.240
called into the trailer, no answer, This is Officer Cortes
207
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:57.960
with Monticello PD. Still nothing but the faint growling and
208
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.120
the hum of the TV. The living room housed an
209
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:05.840
old TV, still running, ads, a dilapidated recliner with a
210
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:09.360
bowl of popcorn. Flies buzzed around the bowl, then dispersed
211
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:14.799
as she walked forward. The room itself was sparse. There
212
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:19.480
was furniture, a TV stand and a TV, a recliner,
213
00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:25.360
even a bookshelf, but no books or decorations, no pictures,
214
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:30.840
no posters, not even a loose receipt. Every step she
215
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:36.480
took echoed around that blank room. The growling grew louder,
216
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:41.120
but Sophia couldn't place where it was coming from. First,
217
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:44.960
she searched the room to her right, a bedroom. She
218
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:50.080
walked slightly uphill against the setting foundation boards creaking underfoot.
219
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:54.559
The bed wasn't a real bed. It lacked a frame
220
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:57.519
and was really only a mattress on the floor. A
221
00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:00.519
line a nylon cord like the kind use to contain
222
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.759
a dog, was bolted to the floor near the mattress
223
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:08.679
and extended to the doorframe of the room. No pictures
224
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:11.879
or anything to make the room homie, just the mattress
225
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:16.519
and the cord. The windows were enclosed with boards nailed
226
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:20.720
from the inside. Hank the dog began to whimper when
227
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:25.440
he heard the floorboards creak. Sophia called back to the station, Nancy,
228
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:27.240
I need you to stay on the line with me.
229
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:30.600
Her eyes followed the cord from the far end of
230
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.960
the room to the door she was standing at, and
231
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:38.240
she could still hear Hank's whimpering, now an excited yelping,
232
00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:42.600
as well as the constant grumbling. In that bare bedroom,
233
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:45.919
there was a closet to her left and a dresser
234
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:49.879
to her right. She considered searching either of them, but
235
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:53.440
since this was only a welfare check, she decided against it.
236
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:57.120
She doubled back and paced through the living room, the
237
00:14:57.159 --> 00:15:00.080
ad on TV proclaiming it could cure any subscriber of
238
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:05.279
all credit card debts. While the growling grew louder, little
1
00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:06.360
2
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:10.039
3
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:13.759
4
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:17.800
5
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:23.079
6
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:26.440
7
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:29.760
8
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:34.479
9
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.320
10
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:40.759
11
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:46.119
12
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:49.200
13
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.880
14
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:56.240
15
00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.759
16
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:08.560
17
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:14.959
18
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.519
19
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.560
20
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:25.760
21
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:31.200
22
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.439
23
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:38.959
24
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:41.719
25
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.519
26
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:50.319
27
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:54.560
28
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:57.319
29
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.239
30
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:03.920
31
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:07.000
32
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:11.280
33
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:14.360
34
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.439
35
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:22.199
