Monthly Spooky paranormal podcast time—Henrique & Michelle dig into spooky news, urban legends, and creepy folklore that hits different when winter won’t let go. We start with the chaos of modern life (yes, taxes), then dive headfirst into spring superstitions from around the world, including the wild Annapolis sock-burning tradition that literally sets “winter” on fire.

Inside this episode:
  • Sock Burning in Annapolis, Maryland: the bizarre spring festival you have to hear to believe
  • Springtime superstitions & rituals: strange “good luck” rules that feel like accidental curses
  • Wilderness encounters: unsettling stories that blur the line between fear, memory, and the unknown
  • Cursed Lake Lanier: deadly reputation, dark history, and why people call it haunted
  • Bigfoot sightings in Ohio: local buzz, creature-in-the-trees paranoia, and cryptid talk
  • Lake Shawnee Amusement Park: tragedies, eerie lore, and why some places never feel “quiet” again
  • Horror movies reviewed: what’s worth your time right now

New here? This episode stands alone—jump in for Bigfoot, haunted lakes, spring folklore, and the kind of spooky headlines that make you side-eye the woods on a sunny day.

The joys of burning socks, haunted house brawls, bigfoots or

2
00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:12.480
big feet in Ohio, and strange traditions meant to help

3
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:15.359
you ring in the spring.

4
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:28.480
Get comfortable, turn off the lights. It's Monthly Spooky.

5
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:39.000
Hello, my spookies, and welcome back to Monthly Spooky. I'm

6
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:41.640
your host, Enrique Kuto here with my good buddy and

7
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:45.759
co host Michelle. Michelle, how are you, Like.

8
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.880
Do you want a real answer to that question or not?

9
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:51.840
I think they do want a real answer, believe it

10
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:52.119
or not.

11
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:54.359
That's weird. No, I'm not good.

12
00:00:54.439 --> 00:01:00.840
Everything sucks, I I yeah, I unfortunately I know, and

13
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:03.719
I'm in the mid midst of my taxes right now,

14
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:07.879
so I'm not super happy go lucky in the world either.

15
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:10.120
Yeah.

16
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.439
It's the only time of year, you know, where you

17
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:16.359
really get to remember that everybody else has easy and

18
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:20.200
easier go of things when you see people like telling

19
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:21.799
you like I had a friend tell me like he

20
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:23.959
was so mad because he only got twenty two hundred

21
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:28.239
dollars back from his taxes, and I was like, that's cool.

22
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:31.760
I'm praying not to owe like five or six thousand dollars.

23
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:34.519
Yeah, I don't live in that world like every well,

24
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.239
I just know my parents and shit, and they're all like, oh,

25
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.719
I have to give money to the government, so we're

26
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:41.920
all on the same age.

27
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:47.000
That's nice. See, that's nice. At least that's my mom.

28
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.480
I mean, she's retired now, so she has to pay

29
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:51.959
a little bit of taxes, you know, but not that

30
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:55.719
much because she's you know, getting whatever the pension and

31
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:01.120
Social Security and shit. But like, uh, yeah, it's it's uh,

32
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.200
it'll it's yeah, it's it's a weird. Like I like

33
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:06.799
my life obviously. I mean I like what I do

34
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.439
for a living very much actually, and not just I'm

35
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.199
not just saying that because I'm doing it right now.

36
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.759
But tax time is about the one time where it's

37
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:20.800
like it's the worst because you'll be going through your

38
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:25.599
your everything, your income and everything, and then it'll be like, congratulations,

39
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.240
you made more money than last year. You owe way

40
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.960
more money than last year, and you're like, yeah, this

41
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:35.439
doesn't suck, this is fine, this is fine. It does sometimes.

42
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:38.599
Do you ever, when you're working on your your small business,

43
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:43.639
do you ever feel like it's very obvious that that

44
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:47.719
the government doesn't want you to have your small business?

45
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.759
Sorry, no, my business is so small that I don't

46
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:56.599
even think the government cares at all.

47
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.599
Oh, I mean I haven't did. I didn't like any

48
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.080
ten ninety nine's for my main earning because of the

49
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:04.840
way they've changed all the regulation.

50
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.400
Yeah, yeah, so neither.

51
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:09.919
Yeah. My mom was like, how do they even know

52
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:11.520
what you made? Then? And I was like, it's not

53
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:13.960
my problem. I'm just reporting what I earned. I don't

54
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:14.360
know what to.

55
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.879
Say, like, yeah, yeah.

56
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:19.599
Nobody's sending a ten ninety nine now, I'll tell you.

57
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:22.680
Yeah, I'm a little confused because the thing that I

58
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.479
get all the money from this didn't send me a

59
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:27.840
ten ninety nine, and I feel like they needed to.

60
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.000
So I guess did it rhyme with shmae pal?

61
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:32.120
Yeah?

62
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:34.080
Yeah, they didn't send me one either, And that's that

63
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.039
was over ninety percent of my income, was it?

64
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.840
Yeah, that's like it's it's like sixty five seventy percent

65
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:42.800
of my income. So I don't understand, but hey.

66
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:47.039
Whatever, they changed the rules and it's really weird. I think,

67
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:50.599
I think this is not tax advice, and we'll talk

68
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.560
about something spooky. Well though there's nothing spooky though, screw that.

69
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:56.560
This is the scariest thing I can talk about let's

70
00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:01.879
talk about taxes. No, but uh now am I am?

71
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:03.000
I still really loud in your head?

72
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:03.039
No?

73
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:08.039
My, my, my computer made it like a sound that

74
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:11.159
was really loud, and I didn't mean to react to it.

75
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.839
Well, all I was going to say is I think

76
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.240
that the rule now is you have to hit the threshold,

77
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:23.920
which is twenty grand and have over two hundred transactions.

78
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.560
Ah, I think it's maybe one of that's not true.

79
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:32.759
Yeah, because I doubt that my setup has over two hundred.

80
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:35.680
It might be close, but probably not.

81
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:40.480
Yeah. Mine, let's say mine probably does not have over

82
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:41.240
two hundred either.

83
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.519
And I think it's only I think transactions. It means

84
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.000
going in only. I don't think it means, you know,

85
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:47.399
paying out stuff too.

86
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:51.000
Yeah. Yeah, okay, so that's that's that's why I don't

87
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:52.639
have a ten ninety nine. That sucks?

88
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.279
Yeah, well does it? I mean all that all hair,

89
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.399
All I had to do was download the report and get.

90
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:02.480
Total, So big deal. I only use PayPal. I mean

91
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.920
nine percent of the stuff coming in my PayPal is

92
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:08.160
from business.

93
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.720
So yeah, yeah, mine, I have I have a business

94
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.839
PayPal now. Every now and then I accidentally realize I'm

95
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:16.800
logged into it when I bought something. So I just

96
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:19.480
but it's easy. It's easy to tell because you know

97
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:24.160
it'll be like it'll be like microphone, microphone cord, you know,

98
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.839
recordable media, box of cigars. And I'm like, okay, well

99
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.399
that one is not business. I don't buy recordable media

100
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:31.759
for weekly spooky.

101
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:33.920
No exactly, just the cigars, just.

102
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:37.360
The cigars, damn it. But no. So yeah, that's that's

103
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:41.639
the excite, exciting fear that's going on in my life.

104
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:49.480
It's all taxes. But we have a pretty cool topic

105
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.480
for tonight. Yeah, we'll be getting too after the spooky

106
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:56.639
news that I found just by luck, which is a

107
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:01.839
we have a top list of bizarre spring superstitions.

108
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:02.560
Hmm.

109
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:07.160
Okay, since spring has sprung, is it spring already?

110
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.279
I don't know, I think. So you look at your watch, well,

111
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:12.759
I was looking for the date.

112
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.000
My mom still my mom has a smart watch. We

113
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:20.079
were out of an antique mall last yesterday and my

114
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:23.519
mother has a smart watch. She understands the concept of it,

115
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:25.399
but she still will be like, do you have to go?

116
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:29.040
When I look at it out of time, and I'll

117
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:33.879
be like no, somebody's calling me yeah or no, I'm like,

118
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.759
you know, I got an email anyway, but no. So

119
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.079
I've got this cool list of Spring superstitions and some

120
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.720
of them are really are pretty weird, and I hadn't

121
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:45.560
heard of a lot of them. So I thought that'd

122
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:49.600
be a cool end of March concept because I didn't

123
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.399
want to I didn't want to run into nothing but

124
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:55.439
IDEs of March stuff forever, because that's really like the

125
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.680
big that's the money March concept, you know, it is

126
00:06:58.720 --> 00:06:59.600
the IDEs of March.

127
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.160
Yeah, so yeah, but.

128
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:06.680
Yeah, so other than that, it's it's I wish, I

129
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.600
wish I could say it was more exciting than just taxes.

130
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:16.399
And I tried become I've tried smoking a pipe, very

131
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:20.759
exciting stuff. I'm still not sure I love it, so

132
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:22.879
I'm gonna give it a chance because it's overall not

133
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:27.399
that expensive to pick up and start. Yeah, so you know,

134
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:31.160
like I love cigars, and like a cigar is you know,

135
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:34.040
ten to twelve dollars and that's just one time, but

136
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:37.199
like a tin of pipe tobacco will be like twenty

137
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:42.720
bucks and it's like I don't know, like maybe fifteen sessions,

138
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.759
like fifteen one hours, like, so it's very inexpensive compared

139
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:49.279
to cigars and stuff like that. So I'm trying some

140
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:53.759
different tobaccos and learning the technique because it's all technique.

141
00:07:55.399 --> 00:08:00.560
It's always technique. Yeah, well see, and this is why

142
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.839
it's tough too. So not only do taxes scare me

143
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.040
the most, but the other horror stuff that happened this

144
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.480
month is I went and saw quite a few horror

145
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:10.839
movies in the theater, but we save that for the

146
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:12.680
end of the show. So I don't want to spoil it,

147
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:17.720
okay by giving away the horror movies I saw, but

148
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:21.879
I will say ahead of time, if you haven't seen

149
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.199
the Undertone or Undertone, I don't think it's the Also,

150
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:30.160
I like it because undertone it's a lowercase all the

151
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.039
way through, Like that's their styling. Like at the movie

152
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.240
theater was lowercase U undertone on the ticket it was undertone.

153
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:43.600
But I loved that film, okay, And it's a great

154
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:47.039
example of when you have a cool concept and some

155
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:50.240
well you have a cool concept, decent marketing, and a

156
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:53.720
ton of luck. Because that film was made for a

157
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.360
half a million dollars. A twenty four picked it up

158
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:00.720
and put it into theaters and it it did sixteen

159
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.919
million opening weekend. I think it was sixteen million. But

160
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:09.120
for context, another film I saw The Bride, which I

161
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.919
thought was fine. I thought it had a lot of problems,

162
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:14.200
that it had a lot of things that didn't make

163
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:18.679
sense and not in a fun way. But I did

164
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:21.879
enjoy it. But that cost eighty or ninety million dollars

165
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:25.320
and it did sixteen million. And it's oh my god,

166
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:30.399
so people and undertone. I'll go into detail at the

167
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:33.919
end of the show. But it had some of the

168
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:36.960
most legitimately scary things I've seen in a movie in

169
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:42.039
the theater in a while by being simple and creepy, Okay,

170
00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:46.440
Like they did a lot with quietness, like with silence,

171
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.360
and that I loved. I loved that it was playing

172
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.919
up silence they did. They did a ton with millennial dread.

173
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:57.679
And I'll tell you that right now, Like, if you

174
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:01.279
watch it, you will be upset because it is built

175
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:04.919
to really hurt the feelings of somebody in our era

176
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:05.559
of life.

177
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:06.600
Interesting.

178
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:12.759
It really does. I was very upset watching it.

179
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:15.720
Really, I don't think it can hurt my feelings.

180
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:21.919
Oh, I would love to test that when it comes out.

181
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.639
I'll rent it for you. I'll send you a rental

182
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:27.440
four of it and you can watch it and then

183
00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:30.360
you can call your mom immediately when it's over and

184
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:31.440
see if she's okay.

185
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:34.960
But I always call her and see if she's okay.

186
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:38.360
Like immediately after watching any movie, Yeah, are you okay?

187
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:40.639
And she's like, did you watch a movie?

188
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.960
Oh? Man? Do you do?

189
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:45.080
You?

190
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:49.519
Like, do you ever watch a movie or a TV show,

191
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:53.279
TV episode or whatever? And afterward you just have to

192
00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:56.759
like call your mom or your dad or text them. Never, no, no,

193
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:00.279
oh my gosh. Sometimes I'll watch a movie and just

194
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.320
the way somebody talks to their mother will make me

195
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:05.279
have to send my mom and I love you text

196
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:08.480
like in the middle of the night, you know, like

197
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:13.000
just whenever, like just yeah. So but maybe I'm just

198
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:15.600
a softie. I'm probably just a big softie.

199
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:17.720
No, I mean I just wait until, like I talk

200
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:20.519
to them again and then I say something about it.

201
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:23.360
Yeah. And my mom's an avid texter, which is weird,

202
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:25.440
Like she doesn't like to talk on the phone. She

203
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:29.399
likes to text. So I mean that's nice because we

204
00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:31.480
just kind of like can talk throughout the day if

205
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:34.320
we want or whatever. But sure, you know, it was

206
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:36.039
really nice when she had a job because she could,

207
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.240
you know, sneak it?

208
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:39.960
Yeah.

209
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:43.840
So, but with all that, we're gonna take a quick break,

210
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:45.600
and when we get back, we're going to jump into

211
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:49.919
the spooky mood and the spooky moves, the spooky news,

212
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.279
and we're going to talk about a news story I

213
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:57.960
found that is out of Maryland about a new spring

214
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:02.159
tradition in Maryland. I'd never heard of. That sounds so weird.

215
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.840
I can't wait to learn about it. Okay, so we'll

216
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:16.720
jump into that right after this. All right, we're back,

217
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:22.799
and it's about time we dive in to the spooky news.

218
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:25.200
The spooky news.

219
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:29.399
This first story is from NPR. I know it's it's

220
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:36.120
one of Chell's preferred whatever NPR ish. But the headline reads,

221
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:41.440
decades ago, a Maryland sailor burned his winter socks. Now

222
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:48.679
it's a spring tradition. No, what what? What's your problem

223
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:49.000
with this?

224
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:51.840
I don't want to burnt socks?

225
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:52.559
Why not?

226
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:54.799
Socks are good and you need them.

227
00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:58.559
But even if they're your winter socks and now it's spring.

228
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.000
Yeah, what about next winter? What's happening here?

229
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:02.840
Who knows that next when you're leaving? Come?

230
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.679
I guess that's right. Just burn everything, burn it all down.

231
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:10.840
See there you go. Now you're getting it. But I'd

232
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:15.240
never heard of this in any way. Yeah, so this

233
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:19.480
is out of Annapolis, Maryland. How do you welcome spring

234
00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:23.279
after one of the coldest winters in decades in Chesapeake

235
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:28.879
Bay town of Annapolis by burning your socks? And there's

236
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.679
bunches of pictures of people like it, holding socks on

237
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:33.960
a stick and burning them and people filming them doing it.

238
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:34.919
Wow.

239
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:40.080
Yeah. This annual festival, which draws hundreds, is held in

240
00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:43.960
the city's Eastport neighborhood and time to coincide with the

241
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:49.000
Spring equinox. It's a potent blend of smelly socks, alcohol, music,

242
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:55.120
piles of oysters, and more than a hint of pyromania. Yeah,

243
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:58.559
I'm sold already, Like now I want to go? No, No,

244
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:02.120
we should next to your chell, we should go to

245
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:04.039
the event. You don't have to partake, You don't have

246
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:06.080
to burn a these socks. You could even we could

247
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:07.600
even give you a microphone and you could be asking

248
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:10.440
people like why would you burn these innocent socks?

249
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.039
Okay, fine, we do.

250
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:15.840
We need to take monthly Spooky on the road. People

251
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:19.200
have commented how cool that would be yea to see that.

252
00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:21.480
Were we like going to go in like stay in

253
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:23.480
scary places that well.

254
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:24.919
That would have to be a part of it. Yeah, yeah,

255
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:26.960
we would, we would. I'm saying this could be a

256
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:29.360
part of that ouvra. You know, it's also going to

257
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:33.120
like strange festival things. It doesn't hurt that you're not

258
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:37.000
that far from Maryland either, No, so as opposed to

259
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:38.639
like if it was far from both of us, that's

260
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:43.679
much more inconvenient. Quote. I like to watch the socks burn.

261
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:48.440
Something about that, acknowledges Mary Keller, a lifelong an Appolis resident.

262
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:56.200
That's the best. For nearly fifty years, the Anapolis oyster

263
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.320
roast and sock burning has marked the long awaited, the

264
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:04.799
long awaited return of warmer days to the East Coast

265
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:08.600
boating hub and time for sailing season to begin again.

266
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:11.840
Usually I saved these for later in the show, but

267
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:15.039
I didn't realize it would be this funny. But I

268
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:19.480
liked it because it's about spring. Kelly sword Out, vice

269
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:22.759
president of Development at the Annapolis Maritime Museum and Park,

270
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:27.480
explains that it all started in nineteen seventy seven. Quote,

271
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:31.720
during one of the coldest seasons we had the bay

272
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:34.879
froze over. Wow. The bay itself froze over.

273
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:36.600
Yeah, that's pretty cold.

274
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:40.799
Yeahah, but that's pretty cold when you're like an ocean bay. Yeah,

275
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:41.799
to freeze.

276
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:43.320
Over, and it has all that salt in it, so

277
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:45.320
I would think it would be harder to do.

278
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:45.919
Yeah.

279
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:47.200
Yeah, yeah.

280
00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:51.200
Usually when ocean's freeze we call that, you know, glaciers.

281
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:56.600
Oh yeah, icebergs. Yeah, the bay froze over, and quote

282
00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:59.279
a local sailor got so fed up with the cold

283
00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:01.600
weather that he decided he was going to take his

284
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:06.240
socks off and burn them. Do they mean for warmth?

285
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:09.000
I don't know. I think he was just angry and

286
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:11.759
he was like, I hate the things that are protecting me,

287
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:12.679
and he just burn.

288
00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:16.200
I think he was just angry and also criminally insane

289
00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:18.919
exactly not burning these sons of it.

290
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:23.000
And everyone was just staring like I don't what's happening.

291
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:25.399
Yeah, But then one guy was just like sitting in

292
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:28.120
the back of his arms cross nodding like yes yeah,

293
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:30.480
and it just smash cuts him being the mayor Aye

294
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:35.000
here by declare today. I like that he's a Kennedy

295
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:41.240
in that version. Yes, Forrest Gump just walks by. Was

296
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:46.960
he born in his socks? I just watched. I watched

297
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:49.720
Forrest Gump at the cigar lounge the other day. That

298
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:52.279
movie is so good, I don't I loved it when

299
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:53.519
I was a kid, and then I didn't like it

300
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:56.840
as a teenager, and now I love it as an adult. Okay,

301
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:01.399
so I I could go on forever about that. Bob Turner,

302
00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:05.000
a boatyard worker, is credited with starting the tradition. According

303
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:09.839
to Baltimore Magazine, Turner found two things unbearable winter and

304
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:15.160
wearing socks. I don't like wearing socks very much either.

305
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.160
I don't really. I well, that's not true. If I

306
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:20.640
could live somewhere that was warm all the time, I

307
00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:23.039
wouldn't wear socks. But I like the idea that the

308
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:25.720
socks protect my feet when my feet are cold.

309
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:30.799
Oh I do too. I mean I wear like crocs

310
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:33.960
until I literally can't survive anymore, and then I switch out.

311
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:34.799
Mmm.

312
00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:40.440
I'm just classy like that, I know. So he decided

313
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:44.720
to toss his into a bonfire. He told his quote

314
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:47.759
coworkers quote, I'm not putting them on again until next winter.

315
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:50.400
He recalled to the magazine in twenty fifteen.

316
00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:54.559
He can't put them on again ever, Yeah.

317
00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:57.960
Because they're ashes. Now, this guy, he's this is a

318
00:17:58.000 --> 00:17:59.559
man after my own heart. This is the kind of

319
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:03.559
thing I did, like, uh, you know, like wearing crocs

320
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:05.960
until after Thanksgiving. I don't care. I don't care how

321
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:09.240
coldly gets. I'm wearing them until then because I say so.

322
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:11.680
I don't know.

323
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:14.720
I mean, at least I don't wear crocs and socks.

324
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:16.680
Well I do, so there.

325
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:19.839
Oh yeah, you do have pair of crocs, don't you. Yeah,

326
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:22.200
but aren't they like like special crocs?

327
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:24.640
I don't know what does that mean?

328
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:27.640
I feel like they're not traditional crocs. Aren't they like

329
00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:32.240
different like pal I don't. I don't know they're your crocs.

330
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:37.279
I can't even see them. Well, you bought them for me,

331
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:40.119
didn't I get like fur lined crocs or something for

332
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:43.359
You're okay, I'm a good friends.

333
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:45.960
See Yeah.

334
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:48.720
Well, also I'm happy they're still treating you well. I

335
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:51.039
wear mine so often they barely last a year before

336
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:52.279
I have to get new ones.

337
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:55.519
Yeah, I mean I should probably get into be time.

338
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:58.960
But yeah, probably you're gonna burn them. I'm not wearing

339
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:00.000
these things till next.

340
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:02.759
I would burn them. That they're made out of some

341
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:04.400
sort of plastic.

342
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:08.839
So no, yeah, yeah, they would not smell so great. Yeah,

343
00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:11.920
many here in Annapolis are equally fed up after this

344
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:15.240
past winter, using the same word to describe it, brutal.

345
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:19.160
How brutal. The start of the Annapolis Yacht Club's annual

346
00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:22.599
Frostbite Sailboat Race series, so named because it runs in

347
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:25.759
the winter, had to be delayed this year because there

348
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:28.720
was too much ice in Spa Creek and the Severn

349
00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:32.519
River where the races are held. It's the first time

350
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:35.799
that's happened in twenty years, according to Dick Neville, co

351
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:39.359
chair of the race committee. Quote, we had a real

352
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:41.599
old style winter and it caught us a little bit

353
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:44.680
by surprise, he says, But it was it is what

354
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:47.079
it is, and when the creek freezes, you can't race.

355
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:50.559
I mean that's you know, that's life. Oh my gosh,

356
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:51.720
I gotta show you.

357
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:51.839
So.

358
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:54.799
I wasn't going to show you images from this event,

359
00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:58.319
but then I just saw this guy and it maybe

360
00:19:58.359 --> 00:20:01.920
want to show you so so real quick, cell, that

361
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:06.039
is not that's not right. Uh oh, I think it's

362
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:10.079
I think the capture froze not what I'm looking.

363
00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:12.000
At at all. Yeah, I'm confused.

364
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:14.799
Sorry, pal, I guess I can't show.

365
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:15.839
You it's okay.

366
00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:17.880
Well, there was a guy like burning, you know, a

367
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:19.519
sock on a stick, and then there were just people

368
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:23.039
wearing really wild socks. And but my fear was then

369
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:25.640
the reason I burst out laughing was I scrolled down

370
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:27.599
and it's just a bunch of people jumping around and

371
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:29.799
a guy just playing a saxophone in the middle of

372
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:35.119
the photo. It just made me happy. But today the

373
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:37.920
sun is shining and it feels like spring. At this

374
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:41.480
beach festival, live music by the Eastport Oyster Boys and

375
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:46.240
the Naptown Brass Band Blairs from the bandstand, I know

376
00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:50.279
we should go. This sounds awesome. Actually, yeah, I want

377
00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:54.799
to hear the Naptown Brass Band and the Eastport Oyster Boys, who,

378
00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:56.119
by the way, I feel you'd be hard not to

379
00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:01.279
call the the Oystport Easter Boys, just for the record.

380
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:05.839
Scott Laban of Annapolis says he's been coming here for

381
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:07.720
years and is eager to get his boat out of

382
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:10.599
storage and back in the water. He holds up what

383
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:14.559
he describes as quote probably a blended nylon cotton sock

384
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:18.519
with a hole in it. Laban details the elaborate process

385
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:21.440
of elimination that determines which socks to bring to the

386
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:25.240
festival each year. Okay, so it's not just like you know,

387
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:27.880
your your brand new winter sock. Wow, there's a picture

388
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:30.119
of a little girl throwing a bald up sock at

389
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:33.759
a big pile of fire. But the pile of fires

390
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:37.160
like maybe four maybe three feet wide by three teen

391
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:40.079
So it's like a little pit of fire in the sand,

392
00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:43.960
and there are guys around it with shovels. Quote, you've

393
00:21:43.960 --> 00:21:46.680
got the Egyptian cotton socks that your mom got you,

394
00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:49.920
those are going into the fire, he says. With remote

395
00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:53.680
work these days, quote, you don't need the dress socks anymore,

396
00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:56.119
so you know those are going on the fire as well.

397
00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:01.920
I love this so much, Lavid says. He's also a

398
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:05.720
big fan of oysters at Chesapeake Bay favorite and there

399
00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:08.559
are copious amounts of them here. I love. I could

400
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:11.359
go for I just anything that's in the ocean, I'll

401
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.200
eat it. You know, it's pretty much anything just about

402
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:16.160
anything attire.

403
00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:18.480
Yeah. Yeah.

404
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:21.799
Mike Dikas is an oyster expert. He's been shucking them

405
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:25.000
for thirty years. He says he's already shucked a couple

406
00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:27.599
thousand for this event and expects to go through many

407
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:30.839
more before it's finished. Referring to the part of Maryland

408
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.359
that lies on the eastern side of the Bay, Dykas

409
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:38.200
demonstrates that what he calls the quote Eastern Shore stabbing style.

410
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:40.880
You come in from the front, not the back, give

411
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:44.880
it a little wiggle and cut the two muscles. The

412
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:49.240
event's culmination mirrors as an applis. Poet Lauriate Jefferson Holland

413
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:53.400
recites his Ode to the Equinox, which explains that revelers

414
00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:56.839
quote burn their socks at the Equinox. Hey, the rhymes.

415
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:00.480
I like that because quote through the spring and summer

416
00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:03.720
into the fall, they go around not wearing any socks

417
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:07.720
at all, just stinky bear feet stuck in old deck shoes,

418
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:13.160
whether out on the water or enjoying a brew. And

419
00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:15.079
then there's a photo of a woman throwing a pair

420
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:18.119
of socks into a blaze. It's like, this is amazing.

421
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:21.960
I need I need this in my life. Sholl We're

422
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:23.880
going I'm making this happen.

423
00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:27.359
You could just burn socks whenever you want, but.

424
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:29.920
I won't have the the East Coast oyster boys.

425
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:32.880
You could just.

426
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:35.960
I could hire them, Yeah.

427
00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:37.759
They can come and you could be like, hey, I

428
00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:39.880
really like that thing that you did. Come here, I'm

429
00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:42.920
gonna exploit some socks on fire, and they'd be like

430
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:44.680
I'm in Yeah.

431
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:47.279
With the last line of the poem hanging in the air,

432
00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:50.680
it's the signal for the main event. Sockburning not an

433
00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:54.160
orderly affair, but a free for all. Dozens of socks

434
00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:57.279
of all colors and fabrics arc overhead and rain down

435
00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:01.119
on the sandy pit. Some land squarely the flames, others

436
00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:03.720
miss the mark and have to be helped into the fire.

437
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:07.799
The annual festival is quote really just an excuse to drink,

438
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:13.559
says Laban, holding a beer and obviously feeling a bit flush.

439
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:16.839
Quote But build it around sock burning and bringing out

440
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:18.960
the old and ringing in the new, and you've got

441
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:24.160
a good party. Yeah that is great. I enjoyed that

442
00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:25.119
so deeply.

443
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:26.079
I'm glad.

444
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:29.200
Yeah, let's burn some socks, baby.

445
00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:31.240
Yeah.

446
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:33.559
We're gonna take a quick break and when we get back,

447
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:36.920
we're going to talk about a haunted hotel with one

448
00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:41.839
of Scotland's oldest bars looking for new owners. Right after this,

449
00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:55.160
all right, real quick, before we jump back into the

450
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:58.240
spooky news, I wanted to show tell some of the

451
00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:03.240
images of the sock burning parade or the sock burning party.

452
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:05.519
So there's the guy I was talking about holding the

453
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:09.880
stick burning sock. Look how happy everybody is.

454
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:11.920
Yeah, everybody likes fire.

455
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:15.039
Yeah. Now look at those socks.

456
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:17.039
Those are pretty interesting socks.

457
00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:17.960
I like him.

458
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:19.720
Yeah, they're okay.

459
00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:24.880
And is this the one? Yeah, the guy playing the saxophone.

460
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:26.519
Yeah, just like in the crowd.

461
00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:29.440
And do you see the guy in the mascot outfit

462
00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:30.400
that's a giant oyster.

463
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:33.400
Yes, he looks like he's crying.

464
00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:36.160
Well yeah, because they're gonna shuck him.

465
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:37.519
I don't like this.

466
00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:42.039
Little girl throwing the sock at the fire. Oh my god,

467
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:49.519
shucking oysters. And then like this, this is a great that's.

468
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:51.960
A perfect photo, really good picture, because it's.

469
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:54.440
Like you see two matching socks in midair over top

470
00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:55.039
of flames.

471
00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:56.119
Yeah.

472
00:25:56.519 --> 00:25:59.400
So I man, that's one of those rare times when

473
00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:02.559
we discover news story and I just love it so much.

474
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:06.559
You're not quite as good as when we got enamored

475
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:11.440
with the poison mushrooms in Australia, but still pretty good. Yeah.

476
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:12.759
Yeah.

477
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:19.000
But now let's head from Maryland to Scotland. Oh and

478
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:22.039
this is from the Scottish Sun Dot co dot uk.

479
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:27.000
The headline is that's the spirit haunted hotel with one

480
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:30.839
of Scotland's oldest bars on the hunt for new owners.

481
00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:35.240
Yay, that that sounds like an ad.

482
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:42.960
I mean, I mean it's not not an ad. Yes,

483
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:48.200
it's billed as quote an accessible haven for those seeking

484
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:51.640
to escape the city so they can immerse themselves in nature.

485
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:55.599
But the seventeenth century property is believed to be haunted

486
00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:59.079
by the restless spirit of a young boy who died

487
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:00.440
century years ago.

488
00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:04.359
Yeah, that's that's how they do it.

489
00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:07.319
But don't worry. Later on they talk about how they're

490
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:11.559
going to have an exorcism. Oh god, I think I mean,

491
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:13.119
I didn't see that. I just made that up, but

492
00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:14.240
it could be there. You never know.

493
00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:16.279
I would think that would be bad because it sounds

494
00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:18.519
like they're trying to convince people to buy this because

495
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:21.079
there's ghosts there. Yeah, they're like, no, we got rid

496
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:22.799
of it. Don't worry about that. We don't even know

497
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:23.519
why we wrote this.

498
00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:25.839
We're just crazy.

499
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:28.680
Yeah.

500
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:32.480
According to folklore, the Blue Boy as he's known, is

501
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:35.720
said to have met a tragic fate at the lock,

502
00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:39.799
with his ghost continuing to roam the corridors of the building.

503
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:42.839
So he's all like blue because he didn't have any

504
00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:43.839
air anymore.

505
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:46.039
I'm guessing, or froze in the water.

506
00:27:46.279 --> 00:27:49.559
Oh yeah.

507
00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:53.519
CCL Real Estate Limited, who put up the listings, said quote.

508
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:57.359
The coilet in operates as a traditional village in with

509
00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:01.680
revenue generated from a balanced mix of food, drink, and accommodation.

510
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:06.279
Its reputation draws regular trade from the local community, with

511
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:10.319
a catchment area extending up to fifty miles and encompassing

512
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:16.759
several towns and villages. No mention of the ghost though, Yeah, like,

513
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:19.400
I mean, but what of the ghost?

514
00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:22.279
I don't think it's that important.

515
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:23.559
That's harsh.

516
00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:25.359
Yeah.

517
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:29.839
Quote. The property itself is a distinguished seventeenth century coaching in,

518
00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:35.279
thoughtfully maintained to honor its historic character while providing modern comforts.

519
00:28:35.880 --> 00:28:39.480
A further description said quote. The enn's atmospheric charm is

520
00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:43.079
enhanced by local folklore, including the tale of the Blue

521
00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:46.680
Boy Ghost, adding to its appeal as a destination for

522
00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:49.720
authentic Scottish hospitality.

523
00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:54.480
Okay, you know, I don't like that. It's like they

524
00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:58.000
it's updated, but they and it keeps its charm, but

525
00:28:58.039 --> 00:29:02.799
they don't describe anything, like what does it look like? Like,

526
00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:05.720
what was its charm? How is it updated? Does it

527
00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:06.599
have hot water?

528
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:07.200
Like?

529
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:08.839
What's going on? So?

530
00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:14.599
Oh, you're just that's just those are just details. I

531
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:17.880
guess that's your point though, Yes, yes they're details.

532
00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:19.440
I want the details.

533
00:29:20.359 --> 00:29:23.440
The building includes a reception, hallway and office leading to

534
00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:27.319
a spacious lounge and restaurant with original features, a rustic

535
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:30.359
public bar with a roaring open fire, and a well

536
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:32.000
equipped commercial kitchen.

537
00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:35.440
Okay, that's a little better. But of course it said

538
00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:38.599
original features but didn't tell me what those were. Things.

539
00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:43.160
Well, their original original features yea, yeah, you know the

540
00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:45.279
original kind, I know.

541
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:47.240
The original features.

542
00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:48.880
Yeah, they're original.

543
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:52.359
Yeah.

544
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:55.960
Uh. There are also a number of bedrooms with stunning.

545
00:29:55.640 --> 00:29:59.039
Views to what what do we see.

546
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:05.920
Scotland? Duh oh. The Coilet Inn is surrounded by approximately

547
00:30:05.960 --> 00:30:09.640
one point five acres of woodland and hillside, providing a

548
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:15.720
serene and scenic environment for guests. There. Fine, you just

549
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:18.480
you just had to jump on it right away. Huh. Yeah,

550
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:20.519
you're still mad because you're worried they're gonna be like anyway,

551
00:30:20.519 --> 00:30:21.960
we're exercising the blue boy.

552
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:24.200
Yeah.

553
00:30:24.319 --> 00:30:28.279
The grounds also feature a timber holiday lodge, a small jetty.

554
00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:30.400
Do you know what the jetty is?

555
00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:33.039
Isn't it like a Does it have to do with water?

556
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:39.039
What is a jetty like a little a law? A

557
00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:42.400
jetty is a long, narrow structure, typically made of wood, concrete,

558
00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:45.400
or stone, that projects from the shore into a body

559
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:45.880
of water.

560
00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:49.400
Yeah, that definitely, and I did know that, but I

561
00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:50.759
was afraid to say it.

562
00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:54.319
You're afraid to be wrong. Yes, this is not a

563
00:30:54.359 --> 00:30:56.400
safe space to be wrong. We will never let you

564
00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:03.480
live it down the small jetty and phishing rights on

565
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:09.039
the on lock ck. What with scope for further development

566
00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:12.799
subject to planning? Well, all development is subject to planning.

567
00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:15.880
That's just. All things are subject to planning.

568
00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:18.559
You can do this, but you'd have to decide to

569
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:20.160
do it and figure out what it would be.

570
00:31:20.920 --> 00:31:24.480
That's everything. But even things that are impossible are subject

571
00:31:24.519 --> 00:31:26.759
to planning. You can't send a man to the moon

572
00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:32.519
subject to planning. Yeah, we send him. It includes a

573
00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:36.799
range of outbuildings and stores supporting both the inns operations

574
00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:40.680
and the on site water sports business, which offers kayak

575
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:43.880
and paddleboard hire directly from the private beach.

576
00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:46.079
Wow, this is a lot of work. I don't want

577
00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:46.519
to own this.

578
00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:51.240
Oh, I already put a bid in for you. Fuck yeah,

579
00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:52.279
you're probably gonna own it.

580
00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:58.480
But it's a lot of work. I know, why, why

581
00:31:58.480 --> 00:31:59.160
would you do that?

582
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:01.519
Because I know how much you like things.

583
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:05.279
I do really like things, and I really like houses.

584
00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:08.119
So okay, fine whatever, I'll figure it out.

585
00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:10.720
We heard about a few of the features and their

586
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:17.519
original original features. The private stretch of beach, complete with

587
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:20.359
a jetty and boat moorings, provides, Man, they just really

588
00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:24.440
love their jetty because yeah, apparently yeah, provides exclusive fishing

589
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:27.599
rights and direct access to the lock for water based activity.

590
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:31.640
There's also a beer garden and terrace for outdoor dining.

591
00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:34.079
M See, you got a beer garden.

592
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:35.559
Just what I always wanted.

593
00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:39.839
The selling agent said the property near Dunnun was a

594
00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:43.559
destination for relaxation and a property with significant scope for

595
00:32:43.599 --> 00:32:46.720
future growth. There is also an option to buy historic

596
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:49.880
seventeenth century coaching in and additional land.

597
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:52.039
Jeez, there's a lot of stuff.

598
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:55.759
Yeah, we're gonna have to, We're gonna have to. We're

599
00:32:55.799 --> 00:32:57.400
gonna have to work on it together. I guess I'll

600
00:32:57.400 --> 00:32:58.759
come and help you out a little bit. But it's

601
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:00.960
entirely yours, so like, it's all your liability.

602
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:05.680
Fuck Yeah, I'm closing it. I don't want all this work.

603
00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:10.839
I'll keep the money. Oh, I don't care. It's mine now.

604
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:15.759
I'm just going to live there. Something fair enough, Okay,

605
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:18.599
Well any money.

606
00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:21.160
Well, when we get back from the break, we're going

607
00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:26.440
to take a trip to Ohio, my homeland, to talk

608
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:32.559
about a sanitation worker finding something suspect. Right after this,

609
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:44.319
we're back and looking at a news story from Huffington

610
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:51.000
Post that says Ohio sanitation worker finds police suspect hiding

611
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:56.960
in trash can. What surprises me the most? Though, I

612
00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:58.799
saw the headline and I was like, well, that's going

613
00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:01.640
on the show. But then it says Huber Heights, Ohio.

614
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:04.400
I go to Huber Heights to see movies. Sometimes it's

615
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:07.160
really close by, like it's super close by ites off

616
00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:12.679
the highway. Wow from me, Hubert Heights, Ohio. A sanitation

617
00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:16.360
worker making his rounds in Ohio got an unexpected surprise

618
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:19.360
when he opened a trash can and found a man

619
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:23.920
hiding inside. I just immediately imagined Oscar the Grouch. I

620
00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:24.519
don't know about you.

621
00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:27.960
I didn't, but I wish I did.

622
00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:29.800
What did you imagine?

623
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:32.880
Just a guy in a trash can, just a dude.

624
00:34:33.159 --> 00:34:34.440
Yeah, just doing his.

625
00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:38.599
Thing, sitting there in trash can, being a dude. Yeah.

626
00:34:38.679 --> 00:34:42.559
Nice. Dash camera video posted by the Huber Heights Police

627
00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:45.920
Department on its Facebook page shows the worker rolling the

628
00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:49.199
bin toward a garbage truck, lifting the lid, and quickly

629
00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:55.840
staggering back before pointing toward the container as officers pull up. Wow,

630
00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:57.880
so he was lucky. The cops must have already been

631
00:34:58.000 --> 00:34:59.800
looking for the guy in the They must have seen

632
00:34:59.840 --> 00:35:00.440
him nearby.

633
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:02.679
That would make sense, And that would make more sense

634
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:05.039
because because obviously you wouldn't want to hide in a

635
00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:08.000
trash can that's on the street getting ready to be obviously.

636
00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:11.239
So I mean, unless it was for a little while

637
00:35:11.559 --> 00:35:15.079
and you're running from the police, So I get it. Yeah.

638
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:18.280
Police police said the man had fled on foot after

639
00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:23.480
a traffic stop earlier Monday. GEEZ officers briefly lost sight

640
00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:25.960
of him and set up a perimeter in the area.

641
00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:28.679
The video shows the man climbing out of the bin

642
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:32.559
and taking off running as an officer chases. During the pursuit,

643
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:35.719
the man's shoes appear to fly off. That's when you

644
00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:39.079
know you're just having a bad day. Yeah, you're running

645
00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:43.639
for it. And your shoes just kick right off. You're like, oh, good, good, great, thanks.

646
00:35:43.840 --> 00:35:45.679
Well maybe they were really bad shoes and they were

647
00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:46.400
holding him back.

648
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:54.199
Hmm maybe, Yeah, you're like the heels. That is one

649
00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:56.159
of my favorite I don't even know if you'd call it.

650
00:35:56.159 --> 00:35:58.199
I guess you could call it a trope in movies,

651
00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:00.320
is when women kick off their shoes to like really

652
00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:02.719
get a good run. I was gonna not call it

653
00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:04.880
a trope because I know that legitimately a lot of

654
00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:07.079
women's shoes suck to run in. Yeah, but I guess

655
00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:09.639
anything that's done repeatedly in movies is a trope, even

656
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:10.320
if it's real.

657
00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:10.920
Yeah.

658
00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:13.199
Yeah, you know, like like it was a trope for

659
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:17.559
detectives to smoke cigarettes in movies, but like people smoked

660
00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:20.000
cigarettes in real life. Yeah, you know that kind of thing.

661
00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:25.400
The man was taken into custody without injury, according to police.

662
00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:29.280
I wish they told us what he like, why he

663
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:34.400
was running or something. Nothing on that though, just a

664
00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:36.760
just a living guy in a trash can.

665
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:38.880
Yeah, I would that would scare me.

666
00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:42.079
I think it would scare me too.

667
00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:45.599
Yeah. I didn't feel really bad. Sorry, No, no, you

668
00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:48.239
feel really bad because I rolled the trash can, and

669
00:36:48.280 --> 00:36:51.519
I was almost gonna throw him in the truck and kill.

670
00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:53.320
Him and smash him.

671
00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:55.280
Yeah, compact him.

672
00:36:56.800 --> 00:37:00.039
Well, it's like, I imagine the reason the guy didn't like

673
00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:06.039
the the sanitation worker didn't freak out more was probably

674
00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:09.400
because maybe like right when he noticed something was up,

675
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:11.559
he saw the cop car coming up. Yeah, so he

676
00:37:11.679 --> 00:37:14.199
just kind of put two and two together really fast. Also,

677
00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:18.320
I know I've known a few sanitation workers and they

678
00:37:18.320 --> 00:37:20.000
are used to the unexpected.

679
00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:22.039
That would make sense.

680
00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:24.199
I had a buddy I went to high school with.

681
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:27.719
He was a sanitation worker for a few years, and

682
00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:31.440
he was just like, oh, yeah, man, if you don't

683
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:34.199
pay attention, that's when you just like you're just hanging out,

684
00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:35.679
spacing out, and all of a sudden you have to

685
00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:37.800
go to the hospital because you got covered in battery acid.

686
00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:41.239
Oh god, and you're like oh And he was like, yeah,

687
00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:43.119
I think I'm gonna quit some time. And I was like,

688
00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:50.960
I appreciate your service. Geez, that's rough. Yeah, so so chill.

689
00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:56.679
Let's let's let's imagine for a second you are a

690
00:37:56.800 --> 00:37:57.599
garbage woman.

691
00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:01.960
Okay, like that straight, Yeah, that's basically me.

692
00:38:03.719 --> 00:38:06.360
I felt bad. I kept saying sanitation worker, and I

693
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:09.360
don't think that's a bad term, you know, or like

694
00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:12.119
I'm not against saying sanitation worker instead of garbage man.

695
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:16.079
But I also love when language is more lively and

696
00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:18.920
you know what I mean, Like, there's no there's no

697
00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:23.719
gusto in sanitation worker. Yeah, like it's not. It doesn't.

698
00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:26.920
There's no flourish. That's the term, okay, for there's no flourish.

699
00:38:27.159 --> 00:38:30.880
So you're a garbage woman and you're wheeling out the

700
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:31.679
garbage can.

701
00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:34.039
Okay, so it has wheels on the bottom.

702
00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:36.679
Now, yeah, you know, like the the kinds that you

703
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:39.559
wheel up. Do you not have wheels on yours? Yeah?

704
00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:42.559
No I do. I'm just okay, I'm just asking.

705
00:38:42.239 --> 00:38:43.920
It's gonna have wheels because otherwise you would have never

706
00:38:43.960 --> 00:38:45.440
been able to move it to the curb anyway, with

707
00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:46.599
a whole guy in it.

708
00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:49.400
I kind of thought, for some reason, my brain thought

709
00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:51.760
because they said roll that they like rolled.

710
00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:54.480
This, Oh that's you felt, you were like, I feel

711
00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:57.559
bad for him. He was rolling him to his his death. No,

712
00:38:57.679 --> 00:38:59.400
I think they met, you know, the ones where you

713
00:38:59.440 --> 00:38:59.920
tilt it, And.

714
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:02.920
I think you're right. I think they do. Okay, So

715
00:39:02.920 --> 00:39:03.440
so you're not.

716
00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:07.079
You're rolling this to the curb or past the curb

717
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:09.360
to uh to get it to the dump the dump

718
00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:12.440
truck and uh. And when you open the lid, I

719
00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:15.559
want you to imagine that you know, you see me.

720
00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:17.960
I'm gonna be the guy inside the okay, trash can?

721
00:39:18.239 --> 00:39:20.239
So you open it up? Go ahead?

722
00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:23.239
Oh you you can't be in here?

723
00:39:24.199 --> 00:39:24.559
Why not?

724
00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:27.719
This is this is where trash goes. This is not

725
00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:31.199
where you like hang out. This is I gotta take

726
00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:33.400
this trash out. So you need to get out of

727
00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:34.079
the trash can.

728
00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:36.880
Who are you to tell me, or to tell anybody

729
00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:37.840
where trash goes.

730
00:39:38.599 --> 00:39:42.079
I am a sensation marker, so I'm pretty sure that's

731
00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:43.719
my job. So I'm gonna need you to get out

732
00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:45.199
of the trash can right now.

733
00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:47.239
Yeah, but you're not a lawyer or something like. You

734
00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:49.840
don't know the rights of this. You're just like a

735
00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:50.880
cog in the machine.

736
00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:51.159
Man.

737
00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:54.119
You're just like a guy in a trash can. I'm

738
00:39:54.119 --> 00:39:56.320
not really sure what's even happening now.

739
00:39:56.360 --> 00:40:02.719
We're just throwing around accusations. We're throwing and around harsh pejoratives.

740
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:06.320
You're you're right, this is fair. I don't know if

741
00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:08.440
you're a guy. And I'm not one hundred percent sure

742
00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:10.440
this is a trash can. It could be a recycling

743
00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:13.480
can that went out on the wrong day, but I

744
00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:16.519
do need you to get out of its.

745
00:40:16.559 --> 00:40:17.480
So this is your can.

746
00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:22.280
This is the city's can. I work for the city.

747
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:24.800
It says rumpky on it. I don't think that's the city.

748
00:40:26.119 --> 00:40:32.599
Well I am rumpky, So I don't know, Alison, I am.

749
00:40:33.159 --> 00:40:36.760
I am whoa You must be loaded.

750
00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:39.519
Wealthy, you know I am. But I still like to

751
00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:43.159
come out and participate in all this, you know, so

752
00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:44.320
like again.

753
00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:47.400
Can not lose touch with the common man.

754
00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:50.360
Yeah, yeah, I like to. I like to work, would

755
00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:51.480

Wow.

761
00:41:03.599 --> 00:41:06.079
And now I feel like extra chargem. But I feel

762
00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:09.519
like I made your day a little bit too, you mean.

763
00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:12.320
Because I don't normally run into guys in garbage cans. Yeah.

764
00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:14.880
Yeah, Like, how would you if you were some corporate

765
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:18.800
suit you know, going into your office every day and

766
00:41:18.840 --> 00:41:22.000
then having your high ball martini and then go into

767
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:27.199
your the golf course and whatever else. Those people, those

768
00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:31.079
people do you never meet a guy like me.

769
00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:35.320
I mean, that's really true. I don't if I was,

770
00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:38.360
if I was, you know, doing that, I wouldn't meet

771
00:41:38.400 --> 00:41:40.920
a lot a lot of like, you know, just criminals

772
00:41:40.960 --> 00:41:42.119
trying to escape the police.

773
00:41:42.840 --> 00:41:47.400
Okay, hold on, hold on. First of all, are the

774
00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:48.320
police still here?

775
00:41:49.800 --> 00:41:53.840
They are sitting in the car like two inches from

776
00:41:53.920 --> 00:41:55.840
us right now, Like I know, you can't see them

777
00:41:55.880 --> 00:41:58.719
because you're in the trash can, but they're like waiting

778
00:41:58.760 --> 00:42:01.039
for my signal so they can come get you.

779
00:42:01.400 --> 00:42:04.719
So that's why I feel the engine vibrating.

780
00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:08.000
Yes, yeah, we turned off the trash truck. So it's

781
00:42:08.039 --> 00:42:09.679
not us, it's the police.

782
00:42:10.159 --> 00:42:10.760
The police.

783
00:42:11.280 --> 00:42:13.239
Yeah, so you I gotta so I would I would

784
00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:15.800
advise you to just stand up and go quietly, because

785
00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:18.440
you're just making theself this worse for you. You know.

786
00:42:19.360 --> 00:42:22.239
Could I ask you, I understand you don't want to

787
00:42:22.360 --> 00:42:24.960
hide me from the police and pretend I'm not in here.

788
00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:27.360
That would be aiding at a bedding and I get it, right.

789
00:42:27.519 --> 00:42:27.960
Yeah?

790
00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:30.920
Yeah, Could I ask you one really small favor?

791
00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:33.119
Uh, you can ask.

792
00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:38.239
It's just one favor please, as from one garbage man

793
00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:39.400
to a garbage woman.

794
00:42:39.639 --> 00:42:42.239
You know, uh, okay, okay, what is it?

795
00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:42.760
What is it?

796
00:42:43.079 --> 00:42:45.239
Would you mind paying for all of my legal fees?

797
00:42:46.719 --> 00:42:49.440
Huh? What what did you do exactly?

798
00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:53.000
I don't know. That's kind of the problem. But my

799
00:42:53.079 --> 00:42:55.239
feet are bleeding. That's that's really all I know.

800
00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:58.440
Okay, So that's probably because of all that lass that

801
00:42:58.480 --> 00:42:59.679
you're stepping on right now.

802
00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:02.119
That's what the crunch sound was.

803
00:43:02.440 --> 00:43:05.760
Yeah, that and probably your bones a little but like

804
00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:08.000
and it's a lot of blood.

805
00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:10.199
Too, No, it's a ton of blood.

806
00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:15.360
Yeah. Yeah, So how about this, I'll pay for your

807
00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:17.840
hospital fees and I'll see if we can find you

808
00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:18.599
a good lawyer.

809
00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:22.599
Oh I actually have cobra. Oh oh so my hospital

810
00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:23.639
stuff is probably good.

811
00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:28.280
Okay, so how about the lawyer. And then once uh, once,

812
00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:30.519
once you're once we get this all taken care of,

813
00:43:31.320 --> 00:43:32.239
I'll get you a job.

814
00:43:33.239 --> 00:43:36.239
Oh man, I just hope it's not being a garbage man.

815
00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:40.679
That's kind of demeaning work. Yeah, I'll put up my

816
00:43:40.719 --> 00:43:42.760
hands right now. They don't have their guns drawn, do they?

817
00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:44.360
They totally have their guns drawn.

818
00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:46.199
That's price smart. Okay.

819
00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:54.320
Oh well, we're gonna take a quick fr but when

820
00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:59.920
we get back, we're heading to India because I found

821
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:05.400
new story about some paranormal vloggers who they got into

822
00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:08.440
some serious trouble and I need I need a minute

823
00:44:08.440 --> 00:44:09.239
to laugh off.

824
00:44:09.639 --> 00:44:13.159
Art the thing. So we'll be back right after this.

825
00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:23.760
We're back, and this one caught my eye. I hope

833
00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:52.239
Is this the music station? What do they play?

834
00:44:53.400 --> 00:44:56.199
I don't really know. They think they're playing alternative, but

835
00:44:56.400 --> 00:44:58.039
they don't really know what they're doing.

836
00:44:58.519 --> 00:45:04.719
They think they're playing alternative. The headliner eads Indian paranormal

837
00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:09.880
vloggers spark brawl over phony haunted house, claims uh oh,

838
00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:13.320
it's rare that I find something that says like paranormal

839
00:45:13.360 --> 00:45:16.360
people are in like fistfight.

840
00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:21.119
Mm hmm, and says that it might not be true too.

841
00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:24.559
Usually we don't acknowledge that things are fake.

842
00:45:26.239 --> 00:45:33.280
Yeah, So two people in India were left injured when

843
00:45:33.320 --> 00:45:37.400
a brawl erupted between paranormal vloggers and residents of a

844
00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:42.519
neighborhood fed up with videos of about a purportedly haunted

845
00:45:42.559 --> 00:45:47.320
house in the community. So this I believe would happen. Yeah,

846
00:45:48.039 --> 00:45:49.800
At first, the way the headline made it sound, I

847
00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:53.320
thought maybe they'd gotten in a fight with other paranormal vloggers,

848
00:45:53.400 --> 00:45:56.920
or maybe they'd gotten in a fight with something like that.

849
00:45:57.000 --> 00:45:59.320
But I could totally see a local community being like,

850
00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:02.440
we are tired of you guys running around making tiktoks

851
00:46:02.800 --> 00:46:05.440
that about like not true stuff in our neighborhood and

852
00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:09.880
it's causing people to like come here or do TikTok

853
00:46:09.960 --> 00:46:13.519
dance challenges in our neighborhood. And like, you know, my

854
00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:16.679
husband hit three of them with his car just trying

855
00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:20.039
to get out of the driveway, Like he has very

856
00:46:20.079 --> 00:46:23.119
bad debt perception, but he passed his driver's test, so

857
00:46:23.199 --> 00:46:28.039
like he's allowed to drive legally, so they're at fault. Like, yeah,

858
00:46:28.159 --> 00:46:33.079
you have me an improv brain now, Jesus. According to

859
00:46:33.119 --> 00:46:36.440
a local media report, the curious case started earlier this

860
00:46:36.559 --> 00:46:39.880
month when content creators on social media learned of a

861
00:46:39.960 --> 00:46:42.719
home in the village of Senper where a family of

862
00:46:42.800 --> 00:46:50.360
seven was mysteriously slain back in nineteen ninety nine. The

863
00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:54.760
story of the still unsolved massacre captured the imagination of

864
00:46:54.880 --> 00:46:59.559
Indian vloggers, who twisted the tail into something supernatural by

865
00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:03.119
a certain that the now empty residents had been abandoned

866
00:47:03.320 --> 00:47:05.760
due to paranormal activity.

867
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:10.360
Hmm. I mean, that's how they get you.

868
00:47:10.639 --> 00:47:13.639
That's how they get you. Man. Much to the chagrin

869
00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:16.679
of people in sam Purr, the dark account of the

870
00:47:16.920 --> 00:47:22.400
haunted house spread like wildfire on Indian social media, prompting

871
00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:26.360
thrill seekers and would be online stars to flock to

872
00:47:26.480 --> 00:47:27.199
the residence.

873
00:47:27.960 --> 00:47:29.079
Yeah.

874
00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:32.559
I can oh, man, I can only imagine. I mean,

875
00:47:34.079 --> 00:47:37.719
it's it's hard, you know, because I work in new media.

876
00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:42.199
But new media. When I when I first had when

877
00:47:42.199 --> 00:47:44.000
I had my first podcast forever ago two thousand and

878
00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:46.119
four to two thousand and five, new media basically just

879
00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:50.719
meant like podcasts and sort of YouTube. Now we have

880
00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:55.760
social media, yeah, which is sort of new media, and

881
00:47:56.280 --> 00:48:01.159
you kind of have to like cohabitate with the influencer

882
00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:04.039
space a little bit to kind of be in that

883
00:48:04.119 --> 00:48:09.079
space at all. And it can be really obnoxious. You know,

884
00:48:09.320 --> 00:48:14.840
I've been I've been experimenting with growing my TikTok audience. Yeah,

885
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:20.000
for Weekly Spooky. What I've been doing is and YouTube

886
00:48:20.039 --> 00:48:24.320
and Instagram as well, but mostly it's been TikTok that's

887
00:48:24.360 --> 00:48:28.360
caught traction where every week when we do a terrifying

888
00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:32.079
and true I do a ten part you know, one

889
00:48:32.119 --> 00:48:37.800
minute each ten part series about whatever the topic is. Like,

890
00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:40.360
we do a piece and then there's, you know, another

891
00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:42.400
one comes out, you know, three or four hours later,

892
00:48:42.440 --> 00:48:44.440
and I published two a day all week and it

893
00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:48.119
kind of helps get people interested in the show. But

894
00:48:50.119 --> 00:48:52.760
like the I would get like messages on TikTok and

895
00:48:52.800 --> 00:48:54.760
they'd be like, yo, if you want like advice on

896
00:48:54.840 --> 00:48:58.000
how to get more traction. You know, I have all

897
00:48:58.000 --> 00:48:59.840
these videos about it, and they're like telling you to

898
00:48:59.880 --> 00:49:01.920
like scream and shake your head at the start of

899
00:49:01.960 --> 00:49:04.000
the videos and stuff. And I was like, no, wonder,

900
00:49:04.039 --> 00:49:07.800
I hate being on TikTok so much. Everybody's like like

901
00:49:07.960 --> 00:49:10.880
they're they're they're like three steps away from just jangling

902
00:49:10.960 --> 00:49:12.920
keys at the start of the video just to make

903
00:49:12.920 --> 00:49:19.440
you not slipe past them. But I will say about

904
00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:24.239
a last week, five for four different people on four

905
00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:27.599
different TikTok videos I released that week, commented basically the

906
00:49:27.639 --> 00:49:31.159
same thing, which was they said I sounded like a

907
00:49:31.159 --> 00:49:32.159
certain voice actor.

908
00:49:32.800 --> 00:49:33.920
Huh.

909
00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:39.400
I'm trying to remember his name, Nick Backay Becky. So

910
00:49:39.599 --> 00:49:43.039
he was most famous for doing the voice of Salem

911
00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:48.519
the Cat on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I mean, I

912
00:49:48.760 --> 00:49:50.360
I don't think I sounded that much like him.

913
00:49:50.400 --> 00:49:51.800
I don't think you sound that much like it.

914
00:49:51.920 --> 00:49:56.079
I hear it a little bit maybe, but like a well,

915
00:49:56.119 --> 00:49:58.639
I think that Salem's voice is very kind of like

916
00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:03.360
annunciation for you know, so I get it, but like

917
00:50:03.880 --> 00:50:06.000
literally some of them said, you sound like Nick Beckey,

918
00:50:06.039 --> 00:50:07.480
and then the others were just saying, you sound like

919
00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:11.079
Salem from Sabrina and I but I do take it

920
00:50:11.079 --> 00:50:13.119
as a compliment because I actually I've always loved that

921
00:50:13.239 --> 00:50:16.360
character in that show. And he was also the voice

922
00:50:16.360 --> 00:50:20.639
of Norbert on Angry Beavers, so said nicolodeon show I

923
00:50:20.639 --> 00:50:25.199
loved back then anyway, But yeah, that was my experience

924
00:50:25.199 --> 00:50:28.760
dealing with I don't think so he had more of

925
00:50:28.760 --> 00:50:30.440
this kind of voice, you know, he was a little

926
00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:33.760
bit more of a big this thing, because Salem was like, right,

927
00:50:33.840 --> 00:50:36.559
in the microphone kind of voice. You know, he was

928
00:50:36.639 --> 00:50:39.639
just right here. You know, I.

929
00:50:39.559 --> 00:50:41.280
Actually think you sound kind of like Norburn.

930
00:50:41.400 --> 00:50:44.039
Now, I mean I actually like that even more. Yeah,

931
00:50:44.519 --> 00:50:47.960
thank you, You're welcome. During the break, I'm gonna have

932
00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:50.239
to pull up a clip from Angry Beavers. Also, I

933
00:50:50.320 --> 00:50:54.639
loved that show me too, Daggett and Norbert because Daggett

934
00:50:54.719 --> 00:50:58.440
was the same voice actor who did Invader Zim. He

935
00:50:58.480 --> 00:51:01.920
was Zim's voice. So anyway, Wow, that was quite the tangent.

936
00:51:04.239 --> 00:51:08.440
The situation has been particularly infuriating to residents as despite

937
00:51:08.480 --> 00:51:12.199
its dark history, there has never been any paranormal activity

938
00:51:12.239 --> 00:51:16.760
associated with the abandoned home in nearly thirty years since

939
00:51:16.800 --> 00:51:21.039
the massacre occurred. Yeah, I mean that sounds a little

940
00:51:21.119 --> 00:51:22.440
too convenient, but.

941
00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:25.039
Okay, Yeah.

942
00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:28.480
The situation seemingly came to a head last Thursday when

943
00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:31.239
a trio of vloggers broke into the house to film

944
00:51:31.239 --> 00:51:34.599
a video and wound up being confronted by something far

945
00:51:34.639 --> 00:51:38.400
more frightening than the spirits of the Slain family, a

946
00:51:38.599 --> 00:51:44.199
mob of angry villagers. They better have had torches and pitchforks,

947
00:51:44.239 --> 00:51:46.719
That's all I'm saying. You can't say a mob of

948
00:51:46.760 --> 00:51:48.480
angry villagers if there are torches.

949
00:51:48.199 --> 00:51:51.280
And pitchforks, I guess what do.

950
00:51:51.239 --> 00:51:53.079
You think of an angry mob of villagers?

951
00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:54.519
Is guns?

952
00:51:55.519 --> 00:51:57.440
I mean, there're gonna be guns too, but I feel pitchfork,

953
00:51:57.559 --> 00:52:00.519
pitchforks and torches are like the pre was it.

954
00:52:01.239 --> 00:52:05.119
Like guns and like flashlights and phones. That's what we

955
00:52:05.199 --> 00:52:05.760
do now.

956
00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:11.239
You just had to modernize it. This is the angry

957
00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:13.199
mob for the skibbitty toilet generation.

958
00:52:13.719 --> 00:52:15.159
Yeah.

959
00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:18.800
What began as an exchange of harsh words soon turned

960
00:52:18.800 --> 00:52:22.679
into a physical altercation that resulted in a resident needing

961
00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:27.000
hospitalization for his injuries. Wow yeah, and one of the

962
00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:30.239
content creators also being badly bludgeoned.

963
00:52:30.880 --> 00:52:32.719
Wow yeah.

964
00:52:33.039 --> 00:52:36.360
Authorities are now investigating the matter, and the individuals behind

965
00:52:36.360 --> 00:52:39.440
the videos promulgating the tale of the haunted house in

966
00:52:39.519 --> 00:52:45.960
Sampur could wind up facing charges for inciting panic. At

967
00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:49.159
the very least, one imagines that the incident will dissuade

968
00:52:49.159 --> 00:52:53.000
paranormal vloggers from visiting the village lest they wind up

969
00:52:53.039 --> 00:52:56.760
being chased out of town by irritated residents tired of

970
00:52:56.800 --> 00:53:00.199
the town's fifteen minutes of Internet fame.

971
00:53:02.039 --> 00:53:07.360
Interesting yikes, I mean yeah, I mean I I don't know,

972
00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:10.000
Like if if I was, I wonder exactly how it

973
00:53:10.039 --> 00:53:13.880
went down. Because if I went to abandon house and

974
00:53:13.920 --> 00:53:15.880
there was people and they were like, we're going to

975
00:53:15.960 --> 00:53:19.519
kill you because you keep doing this shit, I would

976
00:53:19.519 --> 00:53:21.840
just leave. There would be no altercation. I would be

977
00:53:21.880 --> 00:53:23.199
like okay, and I'd be out.

978
00:53:23.519 --> 00:53:25.280
I thought you'd be I would just keep doing that shit.

979
00:53:25.519 --> 00:53:27.719
I would just be like okay. But it's being filmed,

980
00:53:27.800 --> 00:53:29.400
so everyone's gonna see you hitting me.

981
00:53:29.880 --> 00:53:32.679
And I'm maet so many so much content.

982
00:53:32.920 --> 00:53:36.039
Man, much interaction hospital, So like.

983
00:53:36.239 --> 00:53:38.800
What's up, gang, I'm in the hospital right now after

984
00:53:38.840 --> 00:53:42.559
being beaten by an angry mob. Yeah, don't forget to

985
00:53:42.719 --> 00:53:47.239
like share and subscribe. Mash that like button, like they

986
00:53:47.320 --> 00:53:50.840
mashed my face into the concrete. Let's get this video started.

987
00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:56.119
We're gonna take a quick break, and when we get back,

988
00:53:57.159 --> 00:54:01.559
we're gonna talk about a a horror discovery found inside

989
00:54:01.559 --> 00:54:07.559
a home by a prospective home buyer. Oh and oh

990
00:54:07.599 --> 00:54:12.840
my gosh, really this articles from Today's city. No, it's

991
00:54:12.840 --> 00:54:17.000
from my city. Oh I didn't even see that. Yeah,

992
00:54:17.079 --> 00:54:29.760
well we'll get to that right after this. So when

993
00:54:29.800 --> 00:54:33.960
I was locking down this news story, I didn't realize

994
00:54:33.960 --> 00:54:37.760
it was literally from Dayton, Ohio, my city.

995
00:54:38.239 --> 00:54:39.840
Yeah, you're just getting all the stories.

996
00:54:40.599 --> 00:54:42.960
And we have another Ohio story for a little bit

997
00:54:43.000 --> 00:54:44.719
later in the show too, although I don't think this

998
00:54:44.719 --> 00:54:46.519
one is right by me. I think this one's further

999
00:54:46.599 --> 00:54:50.000
over the other side of the state. But this is

1000
00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:53.239
from the Dayton Daily News and the headline is previous

1001
00:54:53.320 --> 00:54:57.119
residents remains found by potential home buyers in Dayton.

1002
00:54:58.280 --> 00:55:00.840
Huh. I'm so interested and confused.

1003
00:55:01.239 --> 00:55:05.000
I figured you would be being a home inspector. A

1004
00:55:05.400 --> 00:55:10.199
sixty nine year old man whose skeletal remains were found

1005
00:55:10.239 --> 00:55:13.559
by potential home buyers in a Dayton house previously lived

1006
00:55:13.559 --> 00:55:15.360
at the residence, according to police.

1007
00:55:18.199 --> 00:55:20.159
Your faces, I'm so confused.

1008
00:55:21.159 --> 00:55:24.679
The Montgomery County Corner's Office identified the man as Stephen Wortham.

1009
00:55:24.960 --> 00:55:27.800
His cause and manner of death are undetermined, which means

1010
00:55:27.800 --> 00:55:30.400
it's unclear what led to Wortham's death. That's one way

1011
00:55:30.440 --> 00:55:36.519
to put it. Quote Montgomery County, right, His death is undetermined,

1012
00:55:36.519 --> 00:55:38.519
which means it's unclear what led to his death.

1013
00:55:38.639 --> 00:55:41.519
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what that's what undetermined means.

1014
00:55:41.800 --> 00:55:44.880
Yeah yeah, yeah. His leg was broken, which means that

1015
00:55:44.960 --> 00:55:46.480
his leg is not not broken.

1016
00:55:47.760 --> 00:55:48.119
Quote.

1017
00:55:48.159 --> 00:55:50.880
The Montgomery County Corner's Office told detectives that there are

1018
00:55:50.880 --> 00:55:53.679
no obvious signs of trauma, and they believe that the

1019
00:55:53.719 --> 00:55:57.920
mail had been there for several months, said Police Lieutenant

1020
00:55:58.039 --> 00:56:01.760
Eric Sheldon. Around nine fifty am on September tenth, on

1021
00:56:01.800 --> 00:56:05.880
my birthday, Okay, fine, two people entered the back door

1022
00:56:06.079 --> 00:56:10.880
of thirty nine forty Delfos Avenue and found badly decomposed remains.

1023
00:56:11.280 --> 00:56:14.159
The remains were believed to be Worthm and multiple family

1024
00:56:14.199 --> 00:56:17.199
members came forward to provide DNA to help with identification,

1025
00:56:17.440 --> 00:56:21.559
according to police. The Coroner's office confirmed the identification on Tuesday.

1026
00:56:21.800 --> 00:56:24.440
The house was vacant when his remains were discovered.

1027
00:56:26.239 --> 00:56:31.840
No, it wasn't. But yeah, I'm like, you don't understand.

1028
00:56:31.880 --> 00:56:35.440
I am so confused, Like, I mean, keep going, but

1029
00:56:35.480 --> 00:56:36.360
I'm confused.

1030
00:56:36.719 --> 00:56:40.039
Quote. Mister Wortham previously lived at the address, but had

1031
00:56:40.079 --> 00:56:43.360
been pink slipped and removed from the home because of

1032
00:56:43.400 --> 00:56:48.400
the poor living conditions. Sheldon said. A tipster said that

1033
00:56:48.480 --> 00:56:51.239
mister Wortham would continue to return to the home and

1034
00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:55.679
squat there. So the reason this became news apparently is that,

1035
00:56:56.239 --> 00:56:59.119
first of all, Wow, you actually love this house? Yeah,

1036
00:56:59.159 --> 00:56:59.960
aside from the court.

1037
00:57:01.079 --> 00:57:02.239
I love this house.

1038
00:57:02.440 --> 00:57:04.559
I told you you want me to see how much

1039
00:57:04.599 --> 00:57:05.800
it costs, you could probably get it.

1040
00:57:06.199 --> 00:57:07.599
Yeah, I want to get it.

1041
00:57:08.960 --> 00:57:12.320
You're going to pull up the zillo. Yeah, hopefully it

1042
00:57:12.360 --> 00:57:13.800
won't mention the corpse, but.

1043
00:57:14.599 --> 00:57:18.559
I mean somebody needs to care about that house so

1044
00:57:18.920 --> 00:57:19.440
that we.

1045
00:57:19.440 --> 00:57:24.400
May Okay, what do you think the zestiment for this house.

1046
00:57:24.239 --> 00:57:26.880
Is sixty nine thousand dollars?

1047
00:57:27.159 --> 00:57:32.280
Nice? Thirty six seven. Wow, it's a nine hundred and

1048
00:57:32.280 --> 00:57:36.480
seventy five square foot, one bedroom, one bath house. Wow,

1049
00:57:36.519 --> 00:57:38.039
that's nineteen thirty eight.

1050
00:57:38.599 --> 00:57:40.400
That's how big my last house was.

1051
00:57:41.079 --> 00:57:41.400
Really.

1052
00:57:41.840 --> 00:57:44.360
Yeah, it was nine hundred and six actually square feet.

1053
00:57:44.440 --> 00:57:47.239
Oh, because my house is ten eighty. So I always

1054
00:57:47.239 --> 00:57:48.880
thought your place was a little bigger pride because it

1055
00:57:48.920 --> 00:57:50.960
was split level, two floors.

1056
00:57:51.000 --> 00:57:53.239
I mean, yeah, I mean the last one.

1057
00:57:53.719 --> 00:57:55.679
Oh yeah, Oh, I didn't think you meant the one

1058
00:57:55.719 --> 00:57:57.920
you're in now. I figured you meant the other one.

1059
00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:00.000
I just didn't want to say things like the city

1060
00:58:00.360 --> 00:58:03.440
of your last thousand stuff. You know, kind of worth

1061
00:58:03.440 --> 00:58:06.840
being private, I guess. But you want to know the

1062
00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:12.079
true tragedy is that post COVID, you know, home values

1063
00:58:12.079 --> 00:58:14.880
have gone up so much here. Home prices have gone

1064
00:58:14.960 --> 00:58:17.079
up so much. So this house right now they're looking,

1065
00:58:17.360 --> 00:58:22.079
they're asking thirty six. Right before twenty twenty and twenty nineteen,

1066
00:58:22.119 --> 00:58:23.559
it was sixteen thousand dollars.

1067
00:58:24.039 --> 00:58:24.559
Wow.

1068
00:58:25.079 --> 00:58:28.400
Yeah, and it was cheaper than that. In twenty seventeen

1069
00:58:28.440 --> 00:58:31.960
they wanted twelve twelve sales do or that was what

1070
00:58:31.960 --> 00:58:33.239
it was estimated to be valued at.

1071
00:58:33.480 --> 00:58:34.280
That's amazing.

1072
00:58:34.920 --> 00:58:38.360
So unfortunately it says it's off the market, probably because

1073
00:58:38.360 --> 00:58:39.719
of corpse no something.

1074
00:58:39.719 --> 00:58:41.400
You probably bought it, it was a while ago.

1075
00:58:42.119 --> 00:58:45.800
Maybe maybe you should really buy a second home out here.

1076
00:58:46.559 --> 00:58:49.960
I kind of buy a second home in Pittsburgh.

1077
00:58:50.000 --> 00:58:52.320
But I bet you get way more for your money here.

1078
00:58:53.320 --> 00:58:54.920
This brute has some good deals.

1079
00:58:55.360 --> 00:58:58.360
But then if you get a place here, I can

1080
00:58:58.440 --> 00:58:59.800
check on it when you're not in town.

1081
00:59:00.320 --> 00:59:01.039
That's true.

1082
00:59:01.400 --> 00:59:04.199
That's the big win is that I can go and

1083
00:59:04.199 --> 00:59:05.760
do maintenance if you need it and stuff.

1084
00:59:06.159 --> 00:59:06.800
Yeah.

1085
00:59:07.119 --> 00:59:09.559
Yeah, although it's not a place in Pittsburgh, I could

1086
00:59:09.639 --> 00:59:11.719
like hang out there too, exactly.

1087
00:59:11.800 --> 00:59:13.719
You can just go hang out in Pittsburgh.

1088
00:59:14.039 --> 00:59:16.800
Man. But then see, but then you could always tell

1089
00:59:16.840 --> 00:59:19.320
people like, ah, I'd love to do whatever that thing

1090
00:59:19.440 --> 00:59:21.920
is you just told me. But I'm going to my

1091
00:59:22.000 --> 00:59:25.920
vacation house in Dayton, Ohio. Pittsburgh sounds funny too, Yeah,

1092
00:59:26.119 --> 00:59:28.320
vacation in Pittsburgh, But since you're already in PA, it

1093
00:59:28.320 --> 00:59:29.360
doesn't sound as weird.

1094
00:59:29.840 --> 00:59:31.199
Yeah, and their vacation.

1095
00:59:30.960 --> 00:59:32.599
House in Pittsburgh.

1096
00:59:33.039 --> 00:59:34.119
Yeah.

1097
00:59:34.159 --> 00:59:37.199
But the reason this became like a whole deal in

1098
00:59:37.280 --> 00:59:42.400
Dayton is because initially they just found a corpse in

1099
00:59:42.440 --> 00:59:44.960
a random house and nobody knew who he was or

1100
00:59:45.159 --> 00:59:49.360
why he was there. So people, you know, theories started abounding.

1101
00:59:49.519 --> 00:59:51.960
People were like, was it a drug thing or a

1102
00:59:52.039 --> 00:59:54.679
drug deal, or was there you know, a body dumped there?

1103
00:59:54.679 --> 00:59:57.719
Because no details came out other than body found in house?

1104
01:00:02.159 --> 01:00:04.880
What you started like three times you almost said stuff.

1105
01:00:05.119 --> 01:00:07.920
I'm just really sad about this one because it is

1106
01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:11.719
sad because especially because like basically what happened is so

1107
01:00:11.880 --> 01:00:15.920
he's evicted this dude, but he's squatting there. But that

1108
01:00:16.079 --> 01:00:21.440
means that the actual owner like just never checked. Yeah,

1109
01:00:21.800 --> 01:00:23.719
it had been months and this owner who was selling

1110
01:00:23.760 --> 01:00:25.920
their house had not been in this house to just

1111
01:00:26.039 --> 01:00:28.880
check about the condition or check anything. And that's really

1112
01:00:28.880 --> 01:00:29.400
fucked up.

1113
01:00:31.679 --> 01:00:33.599
Wow, you're really taking a stand on this one. This

1114
01:00:33.719 --> 01:00:36.400
is like similar to how mad you were about exorcism.

1115
01:00:37.159 --> 01:00:41.280
I mean, I feel bad for everyone, the dead guy,

1116
01:00:41.599 --> 01:00:46.039
the house, the people who walked into viewits.

1117
01:00:46.119 --> 01:00:49.519
So I pulled up another another piece because there wasn't

1118
01:00:49.519 --> 01:00:50.320
a ton of detail.

1119
01:00:50.679 --> 01:00:52.360
Yeah, you still have that your screen on.

1120
01:00:52.679 --> 01:00:57.039
Oh sorry, it says the police said the remains were skeletal.

1121
01:00:57.760 --> 01:00:59.159
Yeah, yeah, that's what.

1122
01:00:59.400 --> 01:01:02.440
Yeah, I mean, like I just wanted to confirm, like

1123
01:01:03.400 --> 01:01:07.679
skeletal remains, yeah, because they've been there so long. I mean,

1124
01:01:07.719 --> 01:01:11.000
but unfortunately in this part of Dayton, because it's a

1125
01:01:11.079 --> 01:01:14.159
rough area m h. I mean, the houses are under

1126
01:01:14.199 --> 01:01:18.360
fifty grand you know, like like now yeah today era,

1127
01:01:18.519 --> 01:01:20.519
because when I was growing up, it was normal from

1128
01:01:20.559 --> 01:01:26.559
the view that cheap. Excuse me, but so they sit

1129
01:01:26.599 --> 01:01:27.519
for a really long time.

1130
01:01:28.840 --> 01:01:34.679
Yeah, but like I I mean, it seems like this

1131
01:01:34.840 --> 01:01:38.440
is the the first time anybody had like gone to

1132
01:01:38.519 --> 01:01:42.719
this house to look at it. Yeah. And also, you

1133
01:01:42.719 --> 01:01:45.800
would think that if you have a you're selling the house,

1134
01:01:46.159 --> 01:01:48.800
you'd think that you'd have your like the seller's realtor

1135
01:01:48.800 --> 01:01:50.840
would like go in the house and like take pictures

1136
01:01:50.880 --> 01:01:57.239
and shit. So like I'm a little surprised, me too.

1137
01:01:57.280 --> 01:02:00.519
But you know, the real problem is that you weren't

1138
01:02:00.519 --> 01:02:02.960
buying the house, so you weren't looking at it. Therefore

1139
01:02:03.400 --> 01:02:04.480
nobody was checking it.

1140
01:02:04.840 --> 01:02:05.320
Yeah I know.

1141
01:02:05.599 --> 01:02:08.239
Oh, therefore he died. You caused his death, is what

1142
01:02:08.280 --> 01:02:10.480
we're actually getting at. Yeah, no, I won't lie. That

1143
01:02:10.559 --> 01:02:12.480
was a That was a bit more of a bummer.

1144
01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:17.480
So when we get back, we'll go into something a

1145
01:02:17.519 --> 01:02:24.960
little bit different from a story about a Georgia reservoir

1146
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:33.400
that spawned countless ghost stories. Oh yeah, countless right after this? Yeah,

1147
01:02:33.760 --> 01:02:34.840
you can't even count them.

1148
01:02:34.880 --> 01:02:36.800
Try, Oh I can't.

1149
01:02:47.800 --> 01:02:52.320
All right, So we're gonna head down to Georgia chill,

1150
01:02:53.559 --> 01:02:57.880
looking for a soul to steal what I mean, okay,

1151
01:02:58.360 --> 01:03:02.280
in a bind way by behind. Now this is from

1152
01:03:02.360 --> 01:03:06.920
the Guardian dot com and the headline is Haunted and

1153
01:03:07.000 --> 01:03:12.159
cursed Lake Lanier has a deadly reputation. A dark tail

1154
01:03:12.360 --> 01:03:13.920
hides beneath the surface.

1155
01:03:15.159 --> 01:03:15.880
Dunt dundum.

1156
01:03:16.639 --> 01:03:20.280
Thank you. Kyle Glover. Wow, Kyle spelt k I l

1157
01:03:20.320 --> 01:03:27.400
e Kyle. I don't think I've ever seen that before, Keelee.

1158
01:03:27.719 --> 01:03:29.679
That would be so cool if that was the name Kila.

1159
01:03:30.960 --> 01:03:31.519
I think it's.

1160
01:03:31.440 --> 01:03:33.840
Kyle though, if I'm honest.

1161
01:03:34.159 --> 01:03:37.159
Kyle Glover was the entertainer in the family the pride

1162
01:03:37.199 --> 01:03:40.599
of his stepfather, the R and B superstar Usher. Oh,

1163
01:03:40.599 --> 01:03:45.119
his stepfather was Usher. Wow, he's sang, He danced, He

1164
01:03:45.239 --> 01:03:48.679
burned CDs of his own music, styled the covers with

1165
01:03:48.800 --> 01:03:52.800
self made art, and was otherwise expressing his creativity in

1166
01:03:52.800 --> 01:03:58.159
internet videos before it was trendy. Quote, he would have

1167
01:03:58.159 --> 01:04:01.519
been a YouTube sensation by now, says his mother. That's

1168
01:04:01.519 --> 01:04:05.440
what my mom would say too. But the celebrity stylist

1169
01:04:05.480 --> 01:04:09.320
Tamika Foster. But that future was thwarted on a family

1170
01:04:09.360 --> 01:04:14.639
trip to Lake Lanier, just outside his Atlanta hometown in

1171
01:04:14.719 --> 01:04:20.719
July of twenty twelve. Kyle was only eleven. Well, first

1172
01:04:20.719 --> 01:04:23.000
of all, that's tragic, but also, wow, he was really

1173
01:04:23.039 --> 01:04:26.480
into doing a lot of stuff. That's really wonderful. Yeah,

1174
01:04:26.559 --> 01:04:30.880
he was so into it. Kyle was only eleven when

1175
01:04:30.920 --> 01:04:34.039
he was struck by a speeding jet ski while tubing

1176
01:04:34.320 --> 01:04:38.960
and knocked unconscious. Suck yeah. Foster, on the island of

1177
01:04:39.000 --> 01:04:41.840
Saint Martin at the time, managed to get Kyle to

1178
01:04:41.880 --> 01:04:45.519
a hospital or managed to get to Kyle's hospital bedside

1179
01:04:45.559 --> 01:04:49.199
within hours thanks to Usher sending a private plane an

1180
01:04:49.280 --> 01:04:52.840
olive branch that came amid a bitterly public custody battle

1181
01:04:53.159 --> 01:04:57.639
over their two younger sons. As Kyle lay on life support,

1182
01:04:57.719 --> 01:05:01.280
Foster passed the time googling for infra about Lake Lanier.

1183
01:05:02.119 --> 01:05:10.360
She is still horrified by what she learned. Right, what

1184
01:05:11.639 --> 01:05:13.880
I just I just like letting leaving you hanging for

1185
01:05:13.920 --> 01:05:16.760
a second to see what you'd say. A reservoir fed

1186
01:05:16.800 --> 01:05:21.320
by the Chattahoochee and chest To Chesta Tee rivers in

1187
01:05:21.400 --> 01:05:24.880
the Blue Ridge Mountains foothills. That is more than twice

1188
01:05:24.920 --> 01:05:29.159
the area of Manhattan Lake Lanier. Wow, that's it's twice

1189
01:05:29.159 --> 01:05:30.079
the area of Manhattan.

1190
01:05:31.559 --> 01:05:32.400
I guess that's big.

1191
01:05:32.519 --> 01:05:34.800
Is that big? Bet? It smells better though.

1192
01:05:35.960 --> 01:05:37.320
It just smells different.

1193
01:05:40.000 --> 01:05:42.960
I mean, Manhattan's not tiny, No, it's not.

1194
01:05:43.159 --> 01:05:44.800
It's pretty decently sized.

1195
01:05:45.559 --> 01:05:49.239
Lake Lanier juts northeastward from the city of Atlanta like

1196
01:05:49.280 --> 01:05:53.760
a forked tongue portending danger. That's that's some nice riding

1197
01:05:53.880 --> 01:05:56.159
mm hmm. It is reputed to be one of the

1198
01:05:56.280 --> 01:06:00.000
US's most dangerous lakes, up there with the far large

1199
01:06:00.320 --> 01:06:04.840
Great Lakes, with an estimated seven hundred fatalities over the

1200
01:06:04.920 --> 01:06:06.440
past seventy years.

1201
01:06:07.559 --> 01:06:10.960
I mean, that's a lot of fatalities in seventy years.

1202
01:06:11.280 --> 01:06:12.039
I would say so.

1203
01:06:12.519 --> 01:06:13.039
Yeah.

1204
01:06:13.199 --> 01:06:18.199
According to Georgia's Department of Natural Resources, the authority responsible

1205
01:06:18.280 --> 01:06:21.159
for policing the lake, two hundred and thirty three of

1206
01:06:21.199 --> 01:06:25.119
those deaths have occurred in the last twenty years.

1207
01:06:25.559 --> 01:06:31.679
Jeez, guys, well that's actually sounds about right, because it

1208
01:06:31.760 --> 01:06:36.199
was seventy years, seven hundred deaths, twenty years two hundred

1209
01:06:36.199 --> 01:06:36.559
and thirty.

1210
01:06:37.199 --> 01:06:40.360
Yeah. You expect a lake to get safer as time

1211
01:06:40.400 --> 01:06:44.000
goes on, not stay the same dangerous or be more dangerous.

1212
01:06:44.159 --> 01:06:46.159
You do know how the lake feels about things. Maybe

1213
01:06:46.159 --> 01:06:48.199
the lake feels like it's more dangerous now.

1214
01:06:48.519 --> 01:06:51.360
I mean I was thinking more about just, you know,

1215
01:06:51.719 --> 01:06:57.119
safety protocols on boats, hospital accessibility, medication.

1216
01:06:57.679 --> 01:07:00.880
I guess that's not how it goes apparently not.

1217
01:07:02.079 --> 01:07:06.960
But it is the particular. It is the particularly mysterious

1218
01:07:07.079 --> 01:07:11.159
nature of many of these incidents that fuels talk that

1219
01:07:11.320 --> 01:07:17.679
is recreationally that this recreational idyllic, that this recreational idyllic,

1220
01:07:19.360 --> 01:07:25.599
what that this recreational idyllic lake is cursed by restless spirits.

1221
01:07:26.159 --> 01:07:29.679
Quote if people really knew what was underneath the water still,

1222
01:07:30.159 --> 01:07:34.239
says Dave Khan, a lake resident and pleasure cruise operator,

1223
01:07:34.719 --> 01:07:41.280
they'd think twice about partying here. I'm getting very curious.

1224
01:07:41.000 --> 01:07:44.599
Like a rip current or like like cause there's a

1225
01:07:44.639 --> 01:07:48.000
reason that people are dying and it's probably not ghosts.

1226
01:07:48.960 --> 01:07:52.360
Well, we're gonna find out. Each tale from Lake Lanier

1227
01:07:52.559 --> 01:07:56.079
seems more bizarre than the last. This summer alone saw

1228
01:07:56.119 --> 01:07:59.280
a twenty seven year old man who drowned despite wearing

1229
01:07:59.320 --> 01:08:02.960
a life jack. That is strange.

1230
01:08:03.119 --> 01:08:07.039
All right, Yeah, I'm wondering how this how it happens.

1231
01:08:07.800 --> 01:08:13.239
And a family of seven narrowly surviving their boat spontaneously combusting.

1232
01:08:16.560 --> 01:08:19.079
Let's be real, it's not spontaneous. Something was wrong with

1233
01:08:19.119 --> 01:08:22.680
the boats and it almost blew up or went on fire.

1234
01:08:23.880 --> 01:08:27.600
Okay. Less than a month before the speeding accident that

1235
01:08:27.720 --> 01:08:30.920
killed Kyle Glover, two young boys had died on the

1236
01:08:30.960 --> 01:08:33.319
water in nearly the same manner.

1237
01:08:36.199 --> 01:08:41.439
Well that's just people like, there's a safety problem on

1238
01:08:41.520 --> 01:08:41.960
this leg.

1239
01:08:42.399 --> 01:08:43.640
I mean it sounds like it.

1240
01:08:44.079 --> 01:08:45.119
Yeah.

1241
01:08:45.479 --> 01:08:49.560
Over the decades, visitors have related strange encounters that tip

1242
01:08:49.600 --> 01:08:54.199
into the paranormal, from phantom cries and laughter to full

1243
01:08:54.279 --> 01:08:59.880
on ghost sightings. Some swimmers tell of feeling unseen hand

1244
01:09:00.199 --> 01:09:01.560
pulling them underwater.

1245
01:09:02.560 --> 01:09:03.720
Oh that's not nice.

1246
01:09:04.000 --> 01:09:06.279
That sounds pretty scary to me. I don't know about you.

1247
01:09:06.359 --> 01:09:08.600
Yeah, I mean not really, but yeah, I get it.

1248
01:09:09.680 --> 01:09:11.239
Does that not sound scary?

1249
01:09:11.079 --> 01:09:13.920
They're just they just want you to go down there

1250
01:09:13.960 --> 01:09:16.199
and drown so you can be with them forever. That's

1251
01:09:16.239 --> 01:09:17.159
not scary?

1252
01:09:17.319 --> 01:09:20.000
How is that not scary? That that's like the definition

1253
01:09:20.079 --> 01:09:21.079
of my You.

1254
01:09:21.000 --> 01:09:24.039
Just know, you just gotta let you, just gotta relax,

1255
01:09:24.880 --> 01:09:27.880
let yourself go, and then you can live forever in

1256
01:09:27.960 --> 01:09:28.960
the water as a ghost.

1257
01:09:29.039 --> 01:09:32.439
But by being dead, you're not living forever if you're dead.

1258
01:09:32.520 --> 01:09:33.720
That's how that works.

1259
01:09:33.720 --> 01:09:34.960
Semantics like I.

1260
01:09:34.920 --> 01:09:38.399
Don't know, I was afraid. You gonna say they were

1261
01:09:38.399 --> 01:09:45.039
trying to tickle your feet. No, thank you no, gross,

1262
01:09:45.039 --> 01:09:45.720
big problem.

1263
01:09:45.840 --> 01:09:48.760
I just don't want people like touching me for weird reason.

1264
01:09:49.279 --> 01:09:51.199
Like it's one thing I'm to just try to drown me,

1265
01:09:51.359 --> 01:09:52.199
but like, don't.

1266
01:09:51.960 --> 01:09:55.039
Just touch me for weird reason. Tickling is tickling the

1267
01:09:55.199 --> 01:09:55.880
weird reason?

1268
01:09:56.239 --> 01:09:59.319
Yeah, Like what why you want to tickle me to

1269
01:09:59.359 --> 01:10:01.880
hear you laugh? I'm not gonna laugh. I'm gonna go

1270
01:10:01.960 --> 01:10:02.560
creep down.

1271
01:10:04.600 --> 01:10:10.920
I mean, okay, consent, jeez. Well, but that's the thing.

1272
01:10:11.000 --> 01:10:13.279
Tickling doesn't work as well if you're like, yeah, go ahead,

1273
01:10:13.279 --> 01:10:13.720
and tickle me.

1274
01:10:14.680 --> 01:10:17.439
Well, then don't. Then you shouldn't tickle people. Sorry, I

1275
01:10:17.520 --> 01:10:20.720
don't care. Oh, okay, okay, ti people's feet.

1276
01:10:22.319 --> 01:10:26.439
In twenty twenty two, the critically acclaimed FX series Atlanta

1277
01:10:26.560 --> 01:10:31.720
explored Lake Lanier's mythology for its season three premiere oh

1278
01:10:32.000 --> 01:10:35.119
and played on the differences in perspective between the white

1279
01:10:35.119 --> 01:10:37.760
locals and the out of towners who flocked to the

1280
01:10:37.840 --> 01:10:41.920
lake in droves, and Black Georgians who regularly express their

1281
01:10:41.960 --> 01:10:47.279
trepidations as a result of news making disasters, including Kyle's,

1282
01:10:47.560 --> 01:10:52.359
which thrust Lanier into the national spotlight. But where does

1283
01:10:52.439 --> 01:10:55.720
lore diverge from the truth out on the water and

1284
01:10:55.800 --> 01:11:04.359
why do the myths about Lake Lanier abide the lake abides? Man?

1285
01:11:06.960 --> 01:11:09.720
I this is I'd never heard about this one before.

1286
01:11:09.720 --> 01:11:11.279
I won't lie. This is a lot more of an

1287
01:11:11.319 --> 01:11:15.319
expansive article than I was expecting. Yeah, so we'll go

1288
01:11:15.399 --> 01:11:17.520
through a little bit, but we're gonna take a quick

1289
01:11:17.520 --> 01:11:19.279
break and when we get back, we'll learn a little

1290
01:11:19.359 --> 01:11:28.800
more about Lake Lanier. All right, we're back, and Chelle

1291
01:11:28.840 --> 01:11:32.560
and I had a little a little conversation about Lake

1292
01:11:32.640 --> 01:11:36.319
Lanier because it turned out there was an insane amount

1293
01:11:36.520 --> 01:11:42.239
of really bizarre interesting history there. So we're gonna save

1294
01:11:42.720 --> 01:11:46.439
the remainder of that for next monthly Spooky in April,

1295
01:11:47.520 --> 01:11:51.119
where we're gonna dive dive pardon the pun, right, we're

1296
01:11:51.159 --> 01:11:54.479
gonna dive deep into Lake Lanier. Maybe I'll take Michelle

1297
01:11:54.479 --> 01:11:58.000
there and the ghost particular feet and upset her. No,

1298
01:11:58.760 --> 01:12:02.199
she's like, why don't like they're still touching your feet

1299
01:12:02.239 --> 01:12:03.119
if they're drowning you.

1300
01:12:03.600 --> 01:12:05.680
I know. But the reason they're touching my feet, there's

1301
01:12:05.720 --> 01:12:07.600
like a there's like a purpose for it, not just

1302
01:12:07.680 --> 01:12:10.600
like we're gonna make you uncomfortable. So it's okay.

1303
01:12:11.199 --> 01:12:13.239
If they're gonna make you dead, that's better than make

1304
01:12:13.279 --> 01:12:21.000
you uncomfortable at least. Yes, yes, okay, I'll just let

1305
01:12:21.000 --> 01:12:22.239
that you can have that one.

1306
01:12:22.960 --> 01:12:23.760
Thank you. Wow.

1307
01:12:24.439 --> 01:12:28.520
Well we're heading yet again back to Ohio. It has

1308
01:12:28.560 --> 01:12:32.880
been a busy couple months here apparently, And this article

1309
01:12:32.960 --> 01:12:35.840
is from people dot com, which is weird because it's

1310
01:12:35.840 --> 01:12:42.000
about Bigfoot. Oh Ohio town is buzzing after multiple alleged

1311
01:12:42.079 --> 01:12:48.359
sightings of mythical Bigfoot. Oh I'm wondering where exactly it is.

1312
01:12:48.439 --> 01:12:53.520
Oh yeah, it doesn't say right away. Not since the

1313
01:12:53.600 --> 01:12:59.279
late nineteen seventies Minerva Minerva Monster. Have Ohio residents been

1314
01:12:59.319 --> 01:13:04.000
so enamored with potential Bigfoot sightings? I don't know. People

1315
01:13:04.000 --> 01:13:07.920
in Ohio really like their Bigfoot. Yeah they do. I

1316
01:13:08.439 --> 01:13:12.920
know for a fact, because I made that documentary Bigfoot

1317
01:13:12.920 --> 01:13:15.920
in Ohio, and a lot of people found it. Found

1318
01:13:15.920 --> 01:13:19.960
the blu ray just on eBay. Oh wow, because yeah,

1319
01:13:20.119 --> 01:13:23.319
Ohio people, they're curious. A lot of Michigan people bought

1320
01:13:23.359 --> 01:13:26.720
it too, probably just to judge us.

1321
01:13:27.159 --> 01:13:27.960
Yeah. Probably.

1322
01:13:29.520 --> 01:13:33.319
Recently, a flurry of social media posts about alleged sightings

1323
01:13:33.319 --> 01:13:37.560
of a massive beast have left residents in Portage County, Ohio,

1324
01:13:38.079 --> 01:13:42.600
on the lookout for the infamous Sasquatch. That's pretty far

1325
01:13:42.640 --> 01:13:46.920
away from me, that's more toward Cleveland, Youngstown, Cleveland acron area.

1326
01:13:49.199 --> 01:13:53.560
Quote ten individual people were like, Yeah, I was walking

1327
01:13:53.600 --> 01:13:56.119
my dog when I saw a big creature with musty

1328
01:13:56.199 --> 01:14:00.920
odor and suddenly it ran. Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zakowski

1329
01:14:01.000 --> 01:14:09.439
told local CW affiliate WOIO in early March, wow, musty odor. Okay,

1330
01:14:09.640 --> 01:14:13.640
harsha fair. People reached out to the Portage County Sheriff's

1331
01:14:13.640 --> 01:14:16.720
office and Garrettsville Police Department for the latest updates on

1332
01:14:16.800 --> 01:14:21.279
official reported sightings, but did not receive an immediate response

1333
01:14:21.640 --> 01:14:27.119
m Imagine that Yeah. Reactions to the reported bigfoot sightings

1334
01:14:27.239 --> 01:14:31.800
range from sincere to skeptical. Jeremiah Byron, host of the

1335
01:14:31.800 --> 01:14:35.800
Bigfoot Society podcast, believes the claims and told Imagine that

1336
01:14:35.840 --> 01:14:39.760
he believes the claims hmmm, and told local Fox affiliate

1337
01:14:39.920 --> 01:14:43.760
WJW that it's not normal to have so many sightings

1338
01:14:44.119 --> 01:14:45.199
so close together.

1339
01:14:47.239 --> 01:14:51.359
It's not normal. That's not how things work, because people

1340
01:14:51.399 --> 01:14:53.800
hear about stuff and then they get worried in and

1341
01:14:53.920 --> 01:14:58.000
na see things and it's not like mass like paranoia

1342
01:14:58.119 --> 01:15:01.920
or something hysteria. Thank you you were close.

1343
01:15:02.720 --> 01:15:06.000
It was area term.

1344
01:15:06.199 --> 01:15:06.439
Yeah.

1345
01:15:06.520 --> 01:15:09.159
No, I would say that it's super common for people

1346
01:15:09.199 --> 01:15:11.760
to hear that and start and not even to lie,

1347
01:15:11.800 --> 01:15:13.800
to just think that they're doing stuff.

1348
01:15:14.279 --> 01:15:16.520
Yeah, I mean, that's how that goes.

1349
01:15:18.680 --> 01:15:22.680
Byron cited several ports, including two friends hiking who said

1350
01:15:22.720 --> 01:15:25.760
they spotted a ten foot tall sasquatch and a man

1351
01:15:25.840 --> 01:15:28.199
who took his dog out at four am local time,

1352
01:15:29.600 --> 01:15:32.880
only for the dog to seemingly be startled by a large,

1353
01:15:33.319 --> 01:15:35.640
shadowy figure at the woodline.

1354
01:15:35.960 --> 01:15:38.760
Oh no, there's not people.

1355
01:15:39.720 --> 01:15:45.479
Quote or nothing. Yeah, it's a shadowy tree line. Quote.

1356
01:15:45.800 --> 01:15:49.560
The Bigfoot community is extremely excited because we thought we'd

1357
01:15:49.600 --> 01:15:52.960
never lived through anything like this again where there's a

1358
01:15:53.000 --> 01:15:56.000
massive amount of sightings in such a short amount of time.

1359
01:15:56.399 --> 01:16:04.520
Byron told wl WJW. Others like local chiropractor doctor John Barnowski,

1360
01:16:04.800 --> 01:16:08.920
have enjoyed engaging with the posts, but don't seriously believe

1361
01:16:09.039 --> 01:16:13.439
Bigfoot exists. I like that it's the chiropractor they had

1362
01:16:13.439 --> 01:16:16.960
to get. Yeah, set the record straight. Yeah, like like

1363
01:16:17.000 --> 01:16:18.640
your spine, he's setting it straight.

1364
01:16:19.640 --> 01:16:21.119
Yeah.

1365
01:16:21.600 --> 01:16:24.319
Quote, there as a joke that we put on our

1366
01:16:24.399 --> 01:16:27.760
Facebook that he did there as a joke. There was

1367
01:16:27.800 --> 01:16:29.960
a joke that we put on our Facebook that he

1368
01:16:30.039 --> 01:16:32.239
did arrive at the office while I was at lunch

1369
01:16:32.600 --> 01:16:35.239
and was seeing a couple of patients while I wasn't here.

1370
01:16:36.960 --> 01:16:40.920
So the the chiropractor, uh said that Bigfoot was seeing

1371
01:16:40.960 --> 01:16:44.560
patients at his office. Okay, I'm not really get like

1372
01:16:44.880 --> 01:16:46.880
getting really crack your back, you know.

1373
01:16:47.239 --> 01:16:51.239
I guess, I mean I don't creature. Yeah, Bigfoot might

1374
01:16:51.520 --> 01:16:54.840
might be good at that, Like he might have some

1375
01:16:54.880 --> 01:16:56.319
sort of license thing.

1376
01:16:57.079 --> 01:16:59.159
I mean, you better hope so, because otherwise the only

1377
01:16:59.199 --> 01:17:01.359
other option you have to tickle your feet, right.

1378
01:17:02.359 --> 01:17:06.279
I don't know why you like beed tickling so much.

1379
01:17:06.760 --> 01:17:08.520
It's because it upsets you so much.

1380
01:17:08.680 --> 01:17:11.319
Oh, it doesn't upset me. I just don't want it

1381
01:17:11.359 --> 01:17:15.479
to ever happen ever, And if it did, then I

1382
01:17:15.560 --> 01:17:16.920
would be not very pleased.

1383
01:17:17.159 --> 01:17:19.560
Oh, you would not be upset. You would just be displeased.

1384
01:17:19.720 --> 01:17:20.920
I would be displeased.

1385
01:17:21.159 --> 01:17:26.560
Okay, that checks out. That checks out. Other businesses like

1386
01:17:26.640 --> 01:17:30.079
the Solid Rock Auto Group and the Garrettsville Cinema have

1387
01:17:30.199 --> 01:17:33.399
similarly gotten in on the fund by posting edited pictures

1388
01:17:33.399 --> 01:17:38.640
and videos depicting a Sasquatch in town. Oh that's fun,

1389
01:17:39.520 --> 01:17:42.960
you know. Regardless of whether you believe in Bigfoot or not,

1390
01:17:43.399 --> 01:17:47.319
the figure remains relevant in pop culture. Most recently, documentary

1391
01:17:47.319 --> 01:17:51.119
filmmaker Mark Evans produced a film debuting it south By

1392
01:17:51.119 --> 01:17:54.439
Southwest that he said, finally proves that the most famous

1393
01:17:54.479 --> 01:17:57.840
Bigfoot film of all time is nothing more than an

1394
01:17:57.880 --> 01:17:58.880
incredible hoax.

1395
01:18:00.079 --> 01:18:00.920
We already knew that.

1396
01:18:01.239 --> 01:18:03.439
Oh we knew that since the nineties.

1397
01:18:03.640 --> 01:18:04.800
Yeah, I'm so confused.

1398
01:18:06.159 --> 01:18:09.800
That's just marketing. I'm sorry. Like, look, the Patterson footage

1399
01:18:09.840 --> 01:18:14.840
is what it's called. It's it was debunked. I want

1400
01:18:14.840 --> 01:18:17.199
to say in the nineties. It might have been debunked

1401
01:18:17.239 --> 01:18:25.079
earlier than that. I'm checking Patterson footage debunked. It's the

1402
01:18:25.119 --> 01:18:28.239
famous eight millimeter footage of the guy. It looks like

1403
01:18:28.279 --> 01:18:32.039
a guy in a gorilla suit. Honestly. Yeah, like it

1404
01:18:32.119 --> 01:18:32.680
really does.

1405
01:18:32.960 --> 01:18:36.359
But that's what all big foot footage looks like, or

1406
01:18:36.479 --> 01:18:37.279
a blurry thing.

1407
01:18:39.279 --> 01:18:44.319
Uh. So, apparently nobody ever came forward and said they

1408
01:18:44.359 --> 01:18:45.800
made it or that they faked it.

1409
01:18:46.159 --> 01:18:47.199
Okay, but.

1410
01:18:49.039 --> 01:18:51.479
But it's been, it's been looked at, and most people,

1411
01:18:51.840 --> 01:18:54.239
I mean everybody who's researched it has said it's not real.

1412
01:18:56.159 --> 01:18:59.680
So I don't know. It's bizarre to me that. I mean,

1413
01:18:59.720 --> 01:19:01.279
it's just marketing. They want to get people to come

1414
01:19:01.279 --> 01:19:03.680
and see their movies. So like, we've proved it definitively.

1415
01:19:05.600 --> 01:19:07.359
I mean, unless they got the guy who filmed it

1416
01:19:07.399 --> 01:19:13.079
to say he faked it, they haven't. Yeah, that would

1417
01:19:13.119 --> 01:19:16.880
be My guess is that they didn't. They just say

1418
01:19:16.920 --> 01:19:22.039
in it again maybe. So Yeah, it's been It's been

1419
01:19:22.239 --> 01:19:29.640
analyzed by so many different people. Wow, like the American

1420
01:19:29.960 --> 01:19:36.279
Museum of Natural History, the University of Florida, Stamford Monster Quest.

1421
01:19:37.920 --> 01:19:39.199
Wow, Monster Quest.

1422
01:19:39.359 --> 01:19:43.039
I like putting all of those together. That makes me happy. Yeah,

1423
01:19:43.079 --> 01:19:46.840
so Ohio you know, uh, well, this would be northeastern

1424
01:19:46.880 --> 01:19:52.439
Ohio is just maggoty with big feet. Yeah so, I

1425
01:19:52.479 --> 01:19:54.479
mean fair enough. They deserve to have a little fun

1426
01:19:54.479 --> 01:19:59.119
out there. But speaking of but speaking of fun, when

1427
01:19:59.119 --> 01:20:01.199
we get back, we're going to take a trip to

1428
01:20:01.239 --> 01:20:05.479
an abandoned theme park where something horrible.

1429
01:20:05.760 --> 01:20:09.000
Happened worse than a normal theme park.

1430
01:20:10.319 --> 01:20:21.800
We'll just have to find out. So we're back and Cell, Yeah,

1431
01:20:21.840 --> 01:20:23.640
I don't. I feel like we must have talked about

1432
01:20:23.640 --> 01:20:25.439
this at some point in our friendship, but I don't

1433
01:20:25.479 --> 01:20:28.159
think we have. On Mike, what do you think of

1434
01:20:28.239 --> 01:20:29.199
amusement parks?

1435
01:20:29.600 --> 01:20:31.840
Oh, I don't like amusement parks at all?

1436
01:20:32.800 --> 01:20:33.039
Yeah?

1437
01:20:34.119 --> 01:20:38.359
Really, yeah, I really don't like amusement parks. Why because

1438
01:20:38.359 --> 01:20:41.359
I don't like the rides, So that means there's nothing fun.

1439
01:20:41.479 --> 01:20:42.560
You hate roller coasters?

1440
01:20:42.800 --> 01:20:47.239
I hate roller coasters, terribly hate roller coasters. Why because

1441
01:20:47.239 --> 01:20:49.560
they're terrifying and they make me feel scared.

1442
01:20:49.760 --> 01:20:51.640
They're supposed to scare you, that's I don't.

1443
01:20:51.840 --> 01:20:53.720
I don't want to feel scared. I feel scared all

1444
01:20:53.720 --> 01:20:56.239
the time. Why would I want to feel more scared?

1445
01:20:57.560 --> 01:20:59.760
I I don't know if you know this about I

1446
01:20:59.800 --> 01:21:03.720
hate roller coasters actually know? Yeah, I thought, yeah, yeah,

1447
01:21:03.760 --> 01:21:05.680
I'm actually not a big fan of theme parks.

1448
01:21:05.920 --> 01:21:09.720
No. No, I mean, like I don't mind like Ferris Wheel,

1449
01:21:10.119 --> 01:21:14.199
but like that's it. So that's no.

1450
01:21:14.199 --> 01:21:15.079
No Tilt to World.

1451
01:21:15.119 --> 01:21:17.560
I don't want that. I don't want any of those things.

1452
01:21:17.640 --> 01:21:23.439
No, No, you want to get dizzy? No, Well, this,

1453
01:21:23.920 --> 01:21:26.600
this musement park in West Virginia is very interesting.

1454
01:21:27.039 --> 01:21:27.399
Okay.

1455
01:21:28.199 --> 01:21:31.840
This is from Newsweek and the headline is abandoned theme

1456
01:21:31.920 --> 01:21:36.880
park with gruesome past one of the world's most haunted sites.

1457
01:21:37.800 --> 01:21:41.119
H huh. I wonder if I know about this one?

1458
01:21:41.399 --> 01:21:43.199
Would you go to a haunted amusement park?

1459
01:21:43.439 --> 01:21:45.319
Sure? If as long as I don't have to.

1460
01:21:45.199 --> 01:21:48.520
Go on, as long as the rides aren't functioning, right, Yeah?

1461
01:21:48.560 --> 01:21:49.199
Absolutely.

1462
01:21:50.319 --> 01:21:53.239
An abandoned amusement park in West Virginia described by the

1463
01:21:53.279 --> 01:21:56.279
Mercer County Convention and Visitors Bureau as one of the

1464
01:21:56.319 --> 01:22:01.960
most haunted places. Yeah, the visitors Bureau. They have no

1465
01:22:02.039 --> 01:22:03.800
reason to make you. They have no reason to make

1466
01:22:03.840 --> 01:22:05.079
you think it'd be cool to be there.

1467
01:22:05.479 --> 01:22:06.479
Yeah.

1468
01:22:06.479 --> 01:22:11.159
Sits on lamb Land, shaped by violence, tragedy, and decades

1469
01:22:11.640 --> 01:22:12.840
of local folklore.

1470
01:22:13.319 --> 01:22:15.359
Oh.

1471
01:22:15.720 --> 01:22:20.279
Lake Shawnee Amusement Park has become a national curiosity. It's story,

1472
01:22:20.319 --> 01:22:24.680
which blends documented history with persistent legend, reflects how places

1473
01:22:24.800 --> 01:22:28.680
tied to real tragedy can take on a second life

1474
01:22:29.000 --> 01:22:35.199
through folklore and tourism. Hmm ooh man, this must have

1475
01:22:35.239 --> 01:22:37.199
been a really old place. Look at this. This is

1476
01:22:37.239 --> 01:22:41.159
a photo from two thousand and seven of the swings. Yes,

1477
01:22:41.760 --> 01:22:44.560
horrible wood boards and like rusted chain.

1478
01:22:45.039 --> 01:22:48.279
I think I know about this one really. Yeah, well,

1479
01:22:48.359 --> 01:22:50.199
you'll have to keep going because like.

1480
01:22:50.159 --> 01:22:54.439
A ghost Hunter show or something. Yeah, yeah, much more

1481
01:22:54.560 --> 01:22:55.359
versed in that than me.

1482
01:22:55.920 --> 01:22:56.199
Yeah.

1483
01:22:56.439 --> 01:23:01.479
Sorry. Lake Shawnee Amusement Park located in Mercer County, near

1484
01:23:01.520 --> 01:23:04.319
the town of Rock. The town is just called Rock.

1485
01:23:04.920 --> 01:23:05.560
I like that.

1486
01:23:07.039 --> 01:23:11.279
Has been closed for decades. Once a popular summer destination

1487
01:23:11.439 --> 01:23:14.439
for families, it is now best known for its reputation

1488
01:23:14.840 --> 01:23:18.079
as a haunted site shaped by generations of tragedy along

1489
01:23:18.159 --> 01:23:22.520
the Bluestone River. I want to mention out by me,

1490
01:23:22.840 --> 01:23:28.840
we had an amusement park called Americana and it closed

1491
01:23:30.319 --> 01:23:33.319
probably I think in two thousand and five, or maybe

1492
01:23:33.319 --> 01:23:36.520
it was maybe earlier than that, but it was very nearby,

1493
01:23:36.640 --> 01:23:39.760
so school field trips and stuff. We would go there,

1494
01:23:40.119 --> 01:23:42.479
okay because it was affordable and not very far away.

1495
01:23:43.439 --> 01:23:47.159
It is just sat and nature has reclaimed almost all

1496
01:23:47.159 --> 01:23:49.000
of it now. It had. They had two roller coasters.

1497
01:23:49.000 --> 01:23:51.079
It was very It was not a big park. They

1498
01:23:51.119 --> 01:23:53.359
had two roller coasters. They had a bunch of like

1499
01:23:53.439 --> 01:23:56.000
tilt whorls and rides, and my favorite thing was they

1500
01:23:56.039 --> 01:23:59.880
had a a It was built around a lake and

1501
01:24:00.239 --> 01:24:02.199
they had these machines where you put coins in and

1502
01:24:02.199 --> 01:24:05.560
get fish food, and the fish would run to you

1503
01:24:05.720 --> 01:24:08.119
to get the fish food, which I, as a little kid,

1504
01:24:08.640 --> 01:24:15.439
do what with their Yeah? Fish? And I'm pretty sure

1505
01:24:15.439 --> 01:24:18.319
the fish food was actually just cat food. Yeah, did

1506
01:24:18.359 --> 01:24:20.119
you know that that fish like to eat cat food?

1507
01:24:20.439 --> 01:24:22.600
I didn't, but I think just fish like things.

1508
01:24:23.840 --> 01:24:26.680
What things. There was a cabin I used to go

1509
01:24:26.760 --> 01:24:29.399
to in the summer and they had a little lake

1510
01:24:30.359 --> 01:24:32.279
and the guy had told us, he was like, if

1511
01:24:32.279 --> 01:24:33.720
you want to see fish, because it was kind of

1512
01:24:33.800 --> 01:24:36.279
murky sometimes and you were allowed to fish there. But

1513
01:24:36.319 --> 01:24:37.960
I don't like to fish very much. But if you

1514
01:24:37.960 --> 01:24:40.239
want to see fish, just get a bag of cat

1515
01:24:40.279 --> 01:24:43.279
food of cat kibble, Because he was like, that's what

1516
01:24:43.399 --> 01:24:46.800
I feed him to help sustain the environment, keep the

1517
01:24:46.800 --> 01:24:48.720
fish healthy. He was like, I feed them cat food.

1518
01:24:48.800 --> 01:24:51.560
So we brought a big sack of cat food, dry

1519
01:24:51.600 --> 01:24:54.199
cat food, and you'd throw a cup in and they

1520
01:24:54.239 --> 01:24:57.560
would come running. It was really cool. You'd see tons

1521
01:24:57.600 --> 01:25:00.720
of fish. I like fishsh You're kind of cool.

1522
01:25:01.119 --> 01:25:04.039
Yeah, weird, but yeah.

1523
01:25:04.079 --> 01:25:05.720
I just want to mention that there's basically an abandoned

1524
01:25:05.720 --> 01:25:07.479
amusement park not far from me, although I think it's

1525
01:25:07.520 --> 01:25:10.319
mostly been torn down now. But I had friends who

1526
01:25:10.359 --> 01:25:12.279
would like go there and they just break in and

1527
01:25:12.319 --> 01:25:15.000
like get pictures and stuff. I mean breaking in was

1528
01:25:15.039 --> 01:25:16.439
just like going around lands.

1529
01:25:17.039 --> 01:25:17.239
Yeah.

1530
01:25:17.319 --> 01:25:22.039
Yeah. Basically. Once a popular summer destination for families, it's

1531
01:25:22.079 --> 01:25:24.960
now best known for its reputation as a haunted site.

1532
01:25:25.920 --> 01:25:28.680
Over time, the abandoned rides and overgrown grounds became a

1533
01:25:28.720 --> 01:25:32.960
focal point for ghost stories and paranormal themed tourism. Today,

1534
01:25:33.039 --> 01:25:36.479
the rusting ferris wheel and swing set remain standing, surrounded

1535
01:25:36.520 --> 01:25:40.439
by vegetarian and the remain vegetarian vegetation and that was

1536
01:25:40.479 --> 01:25:44.079
me and the remains of ticket booths and pathways. Visits

1537
01:25:44.119 --> 01:25:47.000
to the site are typically limited to guided tours arranged

1538
01:25:47.039 --> 01:25:50.439
in advance. That's okay, so I don't feel as bad

1539
01:25:50.479 --> 01:25:52.279
that it's like basically just a ferris wheel and a

1540
01:25:52.319 --> 01:25:55.680
swing set, because yeah, yeah, ours is basic. Is actually

1541
01:25:55.680 --> 01:25:58.800
like slightly more than that. Although I don't think anybody

1542
01:25:58.800 --> 01:26:03.359
claims it's haunted yet go for it claiming yeah, I'm.

1543
01:26:03.159 --> 01:26:09.199
Gonna people come in and beat you up. Yeah finally Yeah.

1544
01:26:09.439 --> 01:26:12.920
According to historical records, the park was originally opened in

1545
01:26:13.000 --> 01:26:17.439
nineteen twenty six as a family oriented attraction serving nearby

1546
01:26:17.520 --> 01:26:18.840
coal mining communities.

1547
01:26:19.159 --> 01:26:19.399
Hmm.

1548
01:26:21.119 --> 01:26:24.439
Before any rides were built, however, the land had a

1549
01:26:24.479 --> 01:26:28.359
far older history. Well what, I didn't think they just

1550
01:26:28.439 --> 01:26:30.760
invented the land. They were like, we made this land.

1551
01:26:31.119 --> 01:26:31.359
Yay.

1552
01:26:31.439 --> 01:26:32.960
He had no history at all.

1553
01:26:34.199 --> 01:26:39.600
This land didn't exist until nineteen twenty two, I wish.

1554
01:26:39.880 --> 01:26:42.600
Multiple sources document that the site was the location of

1555
01:26:42.640 --> 01:26:46.880
a violent Frontier era attack in seventeen eighty three involving

1556
01:26:46.920 --> 01:26:51.159
the family of settler Mitchell Clay. During that incident, three

1557
01:26:51.239 --> 01:26:54.199
of Clay's children were killed or captured during a raid

1558
01:26:54.479 --> 01:26:57.640
attributed to a group of Shawnee Native Americans.

1559
01:26:57.960 --> 01:26:59.960
Yeah, I do know about this one, oh dear.

1560
01:27:00.279 --> 01:27:04.760
Yeah, entrepreneur Conley Twigg Snideow senior. That's see, these are

1561
01:27:04.760 --> 01:27:09.159
the names that we don't get anymore. Conley Trigg Snideow Senior.

1562
01:27:09.880 --> 01:27:10.399
I like that.

1563
01:27:10.760 --> 01:27:14.800
I guess later purchased the property and developed it into

1564
01:27:14.800 --> 01:27:17.760
an amusement park. I mean later as in much much later,

1565
01:27:17.880 --> 01:27:25.000
like two hundred years later, maybe more. According to historical accounts,

1566
01:27:25.079 --> 01:27:28.159
the park featured a ferris wheel, swing rides, a swimming area,

1567
01:27:28.319 --> 01:27:32.119
a dance hall, concession stands, and cabins for overnight stays.

1568
01:27:32.760 --> 01:27:35.000
I know that was really popular. That was really popular

1569
01:27:35.000 --> 01:27:37.359
with early amusement parks, as cabins to stay there.

1570
01:27:38.319 --> 01:27:41.159
I mean, I guess like Disney has hotels. Yeah, the

1571
01:27:41.159 --> 01:27:41.560
same thing.

1572
01:27:41.880 --> 01:27:45.239
Well back in the day, though, the amenities weren't as aggressive.

1573
01:27:46.000 --> 01:27:46.199
You know.

1574
01:27:46.239 --> 01:27:49.399
The amenity was like there's a lake, there's you know,

1575
01:27:49.600 --> 01:27:52.880
there's food, there's whatever. So it was like camping almost

1576
01:27:53.000 --> 01:27:55.319
like except with like a lot more stuff to do.

1577
01:27:56.399 --> 01:27:57.760
So you get a cabin and be like, do you

1578
01:27:57.800 --> 01:27:59.119
want to go for a swim or do you want

1579
01:27:59.119 --> 01:28:01.920
to get a corn dog? Oh? I want a corn

1580
01:28:01.960 --> 01:28:02.600
dog so bad?

1581
01:28:02.680 --> 01:28:04.279
Now you get one?

1582
01:28:04.520 --> 01:28:08.279
Really? Yeah, thank you. I'm gonna do that though. I

1583
01:28:08.359 --> 01:28:11.560
just needed somebody to give me for me. Yeah, finally

1584
01:28:11.720 --> 01:28:18.760
somebody for many local families, Lake Shawnee was remembered as

1585
01:28:18.800 --> 01:28:22.279
a popular summer destination rather than a place of fear,

1586
01:28:22.720 --> 01:28:25.039
except for those afraid of roller coasters.

1587
01:28:25.239 --> 01:28:25.760
Mm hmmm.

1588
01:28:26.920 --> 01:28:27.039
Uh.

1589
01:28:27.159 --> 01:28:31.000
That reputation began to change after a series of fatal

1590
01:28:31.199 --> 01:28:35.159
accidents occurred during the park's operation.

1591
01:28:35.800 --> 01:28:38.720
Yeah, there's at least one that's really really upsetting.

1592
01:28:39.479 --> 01:28:42.680
Well, we're gonna take a quick break then, and when

1593
01:28:42.680 --> 01:28:47.319
we get back, we're gonna look into Lake Shawnee Amusement

1594
01:28:47.359 --> 01:28:50.680
Park and find out all the gory details that Michelle

1595
01:28:50.720 --> 01:29:02.520
has teased. Right after this, all right, we're back at

1596
01:29:02.600 --> 01:29:10.920
the amusement park, Chell's favorite place, right, because apparently some

1597
01:29:10.960 --> 01:29:16.720
horrible things are about to happen. So, according to reports,

1598
01:29:16.880 --> 01:29:20.680
two drowning deaths occurred on the property. That's pretty weak

1599
01:29:20.760 --> 01:29:24.359
compared to Lake Lanier, but okay, Yeah, along with the

1600
01:29:24.399 --> 01:29:26.560
death of a young girl who was struck by a

1601
01:29:26.600 --> 01:29:29.560
delivery truck while riding the park's swing ride.

1602
01:29:29.920 --> 01:29:35.039
Yeah, that's what I remember. This is the same place. What.

1603
01:29:35.960 --> 01:29:42.600
Yeah, holy crap, that's I wasn't expecting while on the

1604
01:29:42.600 --> 01:29:44.640
swing ride when I heard hit by a delivery truck,

1605
01:29:44.640 --> 01:29:47.479
I'm like, Oh, she was playing in the street or something. No,

1606
01:29:47.640 --> 01:29:50.880
she was just on the swing ride and got creamed.

1607
01:29:51.520 --> 01:29:57.119
Yeah, she did it, explain I don't know. Oh, then

1608
01:29:57.159 --> 01:29:57.680
I won't say.

1609
01:29:57.760 --> 01:29:58.359
We'll find out.

1610
01:29:58.640 --> 01:29:59.840
Yeah.

1611
01:30:00.039 --> 01:30:03.359
The park ultimately failed a health inspection and closed in

1612
01:30:03.359 --> 01:30:07.960
the late nineteen sixties. That's the real horror. After sitting

1613
01:30:08.079 --> 01:30:10.920
unused for years, the property changed hands again in the

1614
01:30:11.000 --> 01:30:15.560
nineteen eighties. Gaylord White another what a name? Gaylord White,

1615
01:30:16.159 --> 01:30:19.920
a former park employee, briefly reopened the site in nineteen

1616
01:30:19.960 --> 01:30:23.960
eighty seven, but rising insurance costs forced it to shut

1617
01:30:24.000 --> 01:30:26.479
down permanently in nineteen eighty eight.

1618
01:30:27.680 --> 01:30:29.560
Yeah. People were like, that's the place where all those

1619
01:30:29.600 --> 01:30:32.640
people died, right, And he was like, yeah, but we

1620
01:30:32.720 --> 01:30:34.239
fixed things and why my god.

1621
01:30:36.239 --> 01:30:40.079
In the early nineteen nineties, archaeological work conducted by researchers

1622
01:30:40.119 --> 01:30:44.960
from Marshall University uncovered Native American artifacts and burial remains

1623
01:30:45.239 --> 01:30:45.920
on the property.

1624
01:30:46.039 --> 01:30:49.000
Yep, there's a lot of stuff here, ancient.

1625
01:30:48.600 --> 01:30:52.760
In the imburial ground Baby thirteen skeleton. Have you ever heard,

1626
01:30:52.800 --> 01:30:55.760
by the way, that's digress too much? But apparently that's

1627
01:30:55.960 --> 01:30:59.600
actually not even vaguely uncommon, Like it's just they for

1628
01:30:59.720 --> 01:31:01.920
hunts of years they were burying bodies all over the place.

1629
01:31:02.840 --> 01:31:05.680
I mean, I believe that definitely, you know.

1630
01:31:05.760 --> 01:31:07.600
Like, I mean, that doesn't mean that there weren't very

1631
01:31:07.640 --> 01:31:12.000
specific important places they buried bodies. It's just that it's

1632
01:31:12.079 --> 01:31:15.880
not crazy to find bodies buried places.

1633
01:31:16.239 --> 01:31:16.680
Yeah.

1634
01:31:16.880 --> 01:31:21.279
Now, if you found you know, fifty, that's unusual.

1635
01:31:21.840 --> 01:31:23.720
Yeah, and this is so yeah.

1636
01:31:23.760 --> 01:31:31.399
Yeah. Thirteen skeletons, mostly of elderly individuals and children that

1637
01:31:31.720 --> 01:31:35.840
sound you do it, were documented during the excavation. According

1638
01:31:35.840 --> 01:31:40.239
to historical summaries, that discovery added another documented layer to

1639
01:31:40.279 --> 01:31:43.600
the site's history and helped fuel its reputation as a

1640
01:31:43.640 --> 01:31:46.920
place tied to unresolved tragedy.

1641
01:31:47.560 --> 01:31:47.880
Hmm.

1642
01:31:49.760 --> 01:31:52.720
Mercer County Convention and Visitors Bureau sat on its website

1643
01:31:52.800 --> 01:31:55.760
quote known as one of the world's most haunted places.

1644
01:31:55.880 --> 01:31:58.359
Lake Shawnee abandoned the amusement park. I like how they've

1645
01:31:58.359 --> 01:31:59.800
added abandoned amusement park.

1646
01:32:00.359 --> 01:32:01.760
Yeah.

1647
01:32:01.039 --> 01:32:04.239
Yeah, is a place where mystery hangs in the air.

1648
01:32:04.720 --> 01:32:07.880
Stories passed down by word of mouth recall a frontier

1649
01:32:07.960 --> 01:32:12.479
era tragedy, an ancient burial ground, and an eerie amusement

1650
01:32:12.560 --> 01:32:17.279
park left behind. The site draws historians and curious minds alike,

1651
01:32:17.680 --> 01:32:22.079
all wondering what truths lie within the folklore. You'll have

1652
01:32:22.159 --> 01:32:30.680
to see for yourself. Oh, that that's it. Oh so

1653
01:32:30.960 --> 01:32:33.119
I thought there was another piece, So you had some

1654
01:32:33.199 --> 01:32:34.399
insight if.

1655
01:32:34.319 --> 01:32:36.920
I remember correctly, And I did just only see this

1656
01:32:37.279 --> 01:32:41.000
ghost hunting thing once where they went here, she was

1657
01:32:41.039 --> 01:32:44.399
on the ride and like a delivery truck like parked

1658
01:32:44.600 --> 01:32:46.399
too close to their ride, and.

1659
01:32:48.319 --> 01:32:51.359
Yeah, yeah, I was kind of thinking something like that

1660
01:32:51.359 --> 01:32:54.079
would happen, because that makes the most I mean, like,

1661
01:32:54.520 --> 01:32:57.920
why would it drive you know, into the Yeah, but

1662
01:32:57.960 --> 01:33:00.000
they just parked too close and they're probably up high

1663
01:33:00.159 --> 01:33:04.720
and yeah, gosh, that's a horrible way to go. Yeah,

1664
01:33:05.279 --> 01:33:08.199
not like having your leg pulled under water and drowning you.

1665
01:33:08.239 --> 01:33:09.239
No, that's the good way.

1666
01:33:09.359 --> 01:33:12.119
That's the good way. That's the relax Just let go

1667
01:33:12.920 --> 01:33:16.960
as long as there's no tickling on the way down. Yeah,

1668
01:33:17.439 --> 01:33:18.840
what if they tickled you to death?

1669
01:33:20.000 --> 01:33:20.960
I don't think that's a thing.

1670
01:33:21.960 --> 01:33:23.560
I think anything can be a thing with.

1671
01:33:23.640 --> 01:33:27.439
Planting, Well, what if I'm not ticklish?

1672
01:33:27.760 --> 01:33:29.119
You're clearly ticklish.

1673
01:33:29.199 --> 01:33:30.840
I don't think i'm ticklish.

1674
01:33:30.600 --> 01:33:34.279
By how aggressively anti tickling you are. You don't want.

1675
01:33:34.119 --> 01:33:37.039
People just like touching me with their fingers like that,

1676
01:33:37.239 --> 01:33:40.560
But I don't know that I'm actually ticklish.

1677
01:33:40.960 --> 01:33:46.279
I mean, I think you probably are. No, I'm just

1678
01:33:46.319 --> 01:33:48.760
saying it makes me think you are because you seem

1679
01:33:48.800 --> 01:33:50.600
afraid of tickling.

1680
01:33:50.880 --> 01:33:54.439
I just don't want people just randomly touching me so

1681
01:33:54.479 --> 01:33:56.720
that they can be happy with themselves.

1682
01:33:58.720 --> 01:34:00.920
That is. I don't know if I ever heard tickling

1683
01:34:01.000 --> 01:34:11.359
described in such a truly upsetting way. So wow, But

1684
01:34:11.399 --> 01:34:16.560
that's that's it. Okay, I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I'll let

1685
01:34:16.600 --> 01:34:17.399
you have that one.

1686
01:34:18.239 --> 01:34:19.000
Okay.

1687
01:34:20.319 --> 01:34:28.479
So, Chell, as springtime sprung, what what do you usually what?

1688
01:34:28.479 --> 01:34:31.439
What do you usually do first when springtime begins?

1689
01:34:32.680 --> 01:34:35.319
I mean, I don't know what do you mean, like

1690
01:34:35.960 --> 01:34:36.720
it gets warm?

1691
01:34:37.279 --> 01:34:39.199
I mean like is there stuff you do around the house?

1692
01:34:39.479 --> 01:34:39.800
Is there?

1693
01:34:39.960 --> 01:34:43.439
Like what what tells you, hey it's spring. Is it

1694
01:34:43.520 --> 01:34:45.960
like that you're mowing the lawn, you know, for the

1695
01:34:45.960 --> 01:34:47.640
first time of the year or something? What is it?

1696
01:34:47.960 --> 01:34:51.760
I mean, there's not really anything. I guess I guess

1697
01:34:51.800 --> 01:34:54.600
that could be taken care of outside stuff, but you know,

1698
01:34:55.520 --> 01:34:58.560
I haven't done any of that yet, and technically it's spring,

1699
01:34:58.800 --> 01:34:59.319
so no.

1700
01:35:00.279 --> 01:35:03.520
On a technicality, I just I was curious because you know,

1701
01:35:03.920 --> 01:35:06.600
some people, they you know, they open up some windows

1702
01:35:06.720 --> 01:35:09.000
or they're like they're just doing some stuff to like

1703
01:35:09.119 --> 01:35:12.800
kind of I don't know, get out of the winter mindset.

1704
01:35:13.359 --> 01:35:17.600
I mean, I do things when it gets warm, So.

1705
01:35:17.880 --> 01:35:20.000
Sure, I mean that's when. Is that not spring?

1706
01:35:21.000 --> 01:35:23.560
It could be spring. It could also be January. I

1707
01:35:23.600 --> 01:35:25.840
don't know, you don't know.

1708
01:35:26.479 --> 01:35:29.159
I mean, it's definitely warmer in the spring than it

1709
01:35:29.199 --> 01:35:30.000
is in January.

1710
01:35:30.039 --> 01:35:32.560
Sometimes it's like sixty five in January.

1711
01:35:33.199 --> 01:35:38.000
Yeah, but not for the whole month. Okay, can we

1712
01:35:38.039 --> 01:35:40.399
at least agree that we trend warmer.

1713
01:35:42.039 --> 01:35:44.000
I don't know, you don't know.

1714
01:35:44.680 --> 01:35:50.479
I don't know, man, you know how people are, Like

1715
01:35:50.560 --> 01:35:52.840
when you woke up today, you chose violence. You woke

1716
01:35:52.920 --> 01:35:56.560
up today and chose just difficulty. Sorry, I'm gonna have

1717
01:35:56.640 --> 01:35:59.279
to talk to your mom about how you're being after

1718
01:35:59.319 --> 01:36:00.840
this chainsaw man ending.

1719
01:36:03.239 --> 01:36:04.840
I tried to explain it to her.

1720
01:36:04.920 --> 01:36:06.800
No, but she doesn't know what it's done to you.

1721
01:36:07.239 --> 01:36:12.079
Oh, but how is that going to help us? Oh?

1722
01:36:12.119 --> 01:36:14.159
I just wanted to really like mess up your life

1723
01:36:14.159 --> 01:36:16.399
a bit. Oh okay, it's really revenge.

1724
01:36:16.720 --> 01:36:18.279
Okay, you can tell her. It's fine.

1725
01:36:18.800 --> 01:36:20.680
Just call your mom and be like, I'm really worried

1726
01:36:20.680 --> 01:36:21.359
about Michelle.

1727
01:36:21.800 --> 01:36:26.359
Yeah, you know, it's it's it's over. My life's over.

1728
01:36:26.560 --> 01:36:31.960
Just well, what I was trying to do before Michelle

1729
01:36:32.439 --> 01:36:35.159
fought me like a freaking you know, like a like

1730
01:36:35.199 --> 01:36:39.000
a wolverine was set up that when we get back,

1731
01:36:39.239 --> 01:36:41.319
we're going to talk about our topic for this month,

1732
01:36:41.760 --> 01:36:46.279
and it's eleven springtime superstitions and a lot of these

1733
01:36:46.359 --> 01:36:49.520
I'd never heard of. But they're pretty fun and some

1734
01:36:49.600 --> 01:36:51.479
of them are a little a lot of them are

1735
01:36:51.520 --> 01:36:57.439
pretty pretty weird. One even involves killing.

1736
01:36:59.199 --> 01:36:59.880
Like a person.

1737
01:37:00.560 --> 01:37:15.039
No, oh maybe, oh, right after this, all right, shell, Okay,

1738
01:37:16.119 --> 01:37:19.960
we're gonna talk about some springtime traditions. I myself don't

1739
01:37:20.000 --> 01:37:22.840
have any major ones, but I will say, like the

1740
01:37:22.920 --> 01:37:26.159
first day that it's just warm enough to open all

1741
01:37:26.159 --> 01:37:28.640
the windows is kind of nice. Yeah, and just get

1742
01:37:28.640 --> 01:37:33.960
some fresh air in m I don't hate out and

1743
01:37:34.039 --> 01:37:37.359
out yard work. Yeah, Like I just noticed today, like

1744
01:37:37.399 --> 01:37:39.960
I'm probably if I don't have to mow this Friday,

1745
01:37:40.000 --> 01:37:41.960
I'll definitely have to mow next Friday.

1746
01:37:42.359 --> 01:37:45.079
Interesting, we don't really have skin there, We don't really

1747
01:37:45.079 --> 01:37:46.439
have anything growing yet.

1748
01:37:47.920 --> 01:37:50.319
We had some so we had a lot of rain

1749
01:37:50.439 --> 01:37:54.079
there for a minute, a lot of rain. But uh,

1750
01:37:54.119 --> 01:38:01.000
this is from mentalfloss dot com. Wow, yeah, eleven springtime superstitions,

1751
01:38:01.000 --> 01:38:03.920
from balancing eggs to burning snowmen.

1752
01:38:05.199 --> 01:38:06.520
That's unique.

1753
01:38:07.840 --> 01:38:09.880
I'm actually I wonder if the socks burning will be

1754
01:38:09.920 --> 01:38:11.239
in here. I don't think it is. I think these

1755
01:38:11.279 --> 01:38:14.520
are all older superstitions. I really want to go to

1756
01:38:14.520 --> 01:38:15.560
that sock burning festival.

1757
01:38:15.600 --> 01:38:15.800
Dude.

1758
01:38:15.880 --> 01:38:20.520
I know we'll have so much fun. We can dance

1759
01:38:20.560 --> 01:38:25.279
around and drink and drink the non alcoholic beer and

1760
01:38:25.399 --> 01:38:27.279
be like, Uh, this is so bad. That's what that's

1761
01:38:27.279 --> 01:38:29.079
the whole time. We'd be like, Oh, this tastes so bad.

1762
01:38:29.159 --> 01:38:34.800
That's all we talk about. So uh. Let's see. Spring

1763
01:38:34.880 --> 01:38:38.760
brings with its new with it new flowers, plenty of

1764
01:38:38.800 --> 01:38:42.359
irritating pollen for those with allergies, and a general feeling

1765
01:38:42.399 --> 01:38:46.840
of freshness and rebirth. M Michelle disagrees. I could tell

1766
01:38:46.920 --> 01:38:48.039
my a look in your face, you're like, no.

1767
01:38:48.560 --> 01:38:50.920
Yeah, no, no freshness or rebirth.

1768
01:38:51.800 --> 01:38:55.039
Of course, in olden times and for many people who

1769
01:38:55.079 --> 01:38:58.640
still live closely with the land, spring was and is

1770
01:38:59.319 --> 01:39:05.079
much more than an esthetically pleasing, sometimes eye irritating seasonal shift.

1771
01:39:05.600 --> 01:39:09.399
It's onset literally means survival for those who rely on

1772
01:39:09.439 --> 01:39:12.840
the season's warmth. To bring the birth of new crops

1773
01:39:12.880 --> 01:39:19.159
and livestock, and winter's brutal concept. When I think about winter,

1774
01:39:19.920 --> 01:39:23.319
you know, I have you know, HVAC. You know, when

1775
01:39:23.359 --> 01:39:25.800
I think of winter without it, I'm like, wow, that'd

1776
01:39:25.800 --> 01:39:26.560
be horrible.

1777
01:39:27.159 --> 01:39:29.399
Yeah, yeah, it's true. It would suck.

1778
01:39:30.119 --> 01:39:31.960
A lot of people did not survive winters.

1779
01:39:32.520 --> 01:39:34.840
Yeah. Yeah.

1780
01:39:34.920 --> 01:39:38.439
It's no surprise then that spring is associated with a

1781
01:39:38.479 --> 01:39:41.880
wide variety of superstitions and traditions meant to predict the

1782
01:39:42.039 --> 01:39:45.720
arrival of warm weather, to bring protection, and much more.

1783
01:39:47.159 --> 01:39:51.279
Most of these eleven superstitions have their roots in ancient faiths,

1784
01:39:51.640 --> 01:39:59.520
but many still resonate with people around the world today. Yeah, yeah,

1785
01:39:59.640 --> 01:40:04.960
Sonumber one, and uh this, don't worry. At first, I

1786
01:40:05.039 --> 01:40:10.800
read this as killing the first adler. Oh no, creepy,

1787
01:40:10.840 --> 01:40:17.399
but no, it's killing the first adder. Oh that made

1788
01:40:17.439 --> 01:40:21.520
you sadder. You're like, oh no. There is a vast

1789
01:40:21.560 --> 01:40:25.520
amount of folklore and legends related to snakes. These creatures

1790
01:40:25.560 --> 01:40:28.479
appear everywhere, from the Bible to the archetype of the

1791
01:40:29.159 --> 01:40:33.159
aur aurbus. Oh I did say that, right? Aurbus?

1792
01:40:33.760 --> 01:40:34.680
Is how you say that?

1793
01:40:35.199 --> 01:40:41.119
Aurbus? Yeah it's aurbus? Okay, isn't it? The sneaking it's

1794
01:40:41.119 --> 01:40:41.840
own tail, right.

1795
01:40:42.079 --> 01:40:45.279
I actually don't know how that's pronounced. Yeah.

1796
01:40:45.479 --> 01:40:49.680
Since serpents tend to emerge from their wintertime bremation periods

1797
01:40:49.920 --> 01:40:53.439
as the weather warms, it's no surprise there's some specific

1798
01:40:53.520 --> 01:40:59.319
spring related war around them. According to Scottish folklore, killing

1799
01:40:59.359 --> 01:41:02.800
the first seen in spring would bring good luck and

1800
01:41:02.840 --> 01:41:06.680
would allow people to triumph over their foes, but killing

1801
01:41:06.720 --> 01:41:10.119
to kill but failing to kill one would summon misfortune.

1802
01:41:12.520 --> 01:41:14.920
Yeah. Yeah, I totally get it. You don't kill something,

1803
01:41:14.960 --> 01:41:17.520
it means that you're not lucky.

1804
01:41:19.119 --> 01:41:21.239
I mean, I'm surprised. I thought you'd take a stand

1805
01:41:21.239 --> 01:41:22.640
and be like, don't hurt those snakes.

1806
01:41:22.920 --> 01:41:25.520
Well, no, I'm not happy about this, and I'm also

1807
01:41:25.560 --> 01:41:27.319
not sure if they eat the snake. If they eat

1808
01:41:27.319 --> 01:41:28.880
the snake, I guess that's fine.

1809
01:41:29.359 --> 01:41:31.000
I would be shocked if they eat the snake. I

1810
01:41:31.039 --> 01:41:34.479
don't feel the Scottish folklore they eat snakes or Scottish history.

1811
01:41:34.920 --> 01:41:37.520
Then I don't like this really.

1812
01:41:38.199 --> 01:41:42.279
Yeah, I'm checking if they eat snakes, but it kept

1813
01:41:42.319 --> 01:41:49.119
autocorrecting to snacks, So Scottish people do not generally eat snakes.

1814
01:41:49.079 --> 01:41:50.880
Not even when they kill them.

1815
01:41:51.479 --> 01:41:56.359
Nope. Adders are venomous so I did forget that until

1816
01:41:56.399 --> 01:41:58.800
I read that adders are a venomous snake. So it's

1817
01:41:58.840 --> 01:42:01.039
not like a garter snake or something. I'm not saying

1818
01:42:01.079 --> 01:42:02.800
therefore just kill it for fun. I'm just saying, like,

1819
01:42:03.000 --> 01:42:06.600
it's not a corn snake. You know that literally is like, Hey,

1820
01:42:06.680 --> 01:42:09.039
I'm just like living because I'm a corn snake.

1821
01:42:09.199 --> 01:42:10.359
And I'm really soft.

1822
01:42:11.439 --> 01:42:13.039
Oh gosh, have you touched a corn snake.

1823
01:42:13.319 --> 01:42:17.359
I've touched a snake. Oh, they're very soft. There was

1824
01:42:17.399 --> 01:42:18.760
one outside and I touched it.

1825
01:42:19.520 --> 01:42:21.359
Oh god, you touched an outside snake.

1826
01:42:21.720 --> 01:42:22.760
Yeah.

1827
01:42:22.920 --> 01:42:25.199
I only touched my dad's python when I was a kid,

1828
01:42:25.239 --> 01:42:28.560
and that was it. It was soft, though, that's nice.

1829
01:42:28.600 --> 01:42:31.600
Yeah. I never touched an inside snake, just outside snakes.

1830
01:42:33.600 --> 01:42:40.680
Another springtime myth is spider webs. Okay, they don't actually exist,

1831
01:42:40.720 --> 01:42:41.920
it's just a springtime myth.

1832
01:42:42.199 --> 01:42:44.119
Wow, I'm so confused.

1833
01:42:46.199 --> 01:42:49.520
Another this holds that the more spider webs you see

1834
01:42:49.600 --> 01:42:52.439
in the spring, the better fortune you'll have in the autumn.

1835
01:42:52.920 --> 01:42:53.319
Okay.

1836
01:42:54.840 --> 01:42:57.680
This may connect to a folk tale about how spiders

1837
01:42:57.720 --> 01:43:01.319
helped to protect baby Jesus when and Joseph needed a

1838
01:43:01.359 --> 01:43:04.760
place to hide him. According to the story, they hid

1839
01:43:04.760 --> 01:43:07.960
in a cave, and spiders wove a thick web at

1840
01:43:07.960 --> 01:43:13.199
the entrance to shield the family from view. Hmmm, I

1841
01:43:13.239 --> 01:43:18.800
remember that part in Charlotte's Web. Yeah, yeah, were you

1842
01:43:18.880 --> 01:43:19.920
a Charlotte's Web kid?

1843
01:43:20.159 --> 01:43:21.399
I did like Charlotte's Web.

1844
01:43:21.600 --> 01:43:23.840
I loved Charlotte's Web. Do you cry at the end?

1845
01:43:24.680 --> 01:43:25.119
I don't know.

1846
01:43:25.880 --> 01:43:31.319
Probably you cried at the end. Despite the fact that

1847
01:43:31.359 --> 01:43:34.800
these creatures often trigger fear, at least within anyone with

1848
01:43:34.880 --> 01:43:38.479
a touch of a rachnophobia, spiders have long been associated

1849
01:43:38.520 --> 01:43:42.680
with good luck, prosperity, and creation. Of course, there are

1850
01:43:42.720 --> 01:43:46.720
also tangible benefits to keeping those spiders in your house around,

1851
01:43:46.840 --> 01:43:51.520
such as reliable pest control. Mm hm, I am a

1852
01:43:51.520 --> 01:43:55.520
big believer in I would. I don't kill spiders good

1853
01:43:56.439 --> 01:43:58.199
unless it's on.

1854
01:43:58.319 --> 01:44:01.439
Me, then you just let it off you geez.

1855
01:44:01.600 --> 01:44:05.000
No, if it violates my personal space, that's it's over

1856
01:44:05.039 --> 01:44:05.640
for the spider.

1857
01:44:06.119 --> 01:44:09.760
Really, it doesn't even know what's on you. It just

1858
01:44:10.000 --> 01:44:13.319
is on a surface. And it didn't. It didn't. It

1859
01:44:13.399 --> 01:44:14.800
was not trying to hurt you.

1860
01:44:14.800 --> 01:44:16.960
You and I both know that spider's trying to tickle you.

1861
01:44:17.039 --> 01:44:17.880
That's what they're there for.

1862
01:44:18.439 --> 01:44:21.359
No, spiders are not like people. They don't just get

1863
01:44:21.479 --> 01:44:23.199
joy out of touching people.

1864
01:44:23.199 --> 01:44:25.760
They have all those legs. Of course they're gonna tickle.

1865
01:44:26.079 --> 01:44:31.000
They can't. They're too small to even be ticklish. You know.

1866
01:44:31.119 --> 01:44:33.439
No, they're not. No, they're trying to tickle you, I know.

1867
01:44:33.840 --> 01:44:37.279
But there it's too there's like sometimes you can't even

1868
01:44:37.319 --> 01:44:39.680
feel a spider on you because they're so small.

1869
01:44:40.640 --> 01:44:45.359
They don't know that they're not you, that's true, they're

1870
01:44:45.359 --> 01:44:47.319
like on you, Like, yeah, I'm tickling the hell out

1871
01:44:47.319 --> 01:44:48.000
of this bastard.

1872
01:44:49.000 --> 01:44:50.760
Now I don't like spiders anymore.

1873
01:44:53.640 --> 01:44:55.319
But my point is, I mean, like, the only way

1874
01:44:55.319 --> 01:44:57.359
I would kill a spiders if I like realized one

1875
01:44:57.439 --> 01:44:59.399
was on me and it scared me, and I'd probably

1876
01:44:59.439 --> 01:45:03.039
hit it. But in my house, I don't bother a spider.

1877
01:45:04.560 --> 01:45:07.039
And it's funny because you know this house, I almost

1878
01:45:07.079 --> 01:45:10.520
never find bugs in my house. It's very very rare,

1879
01:45:11.199 --> 01:45:13.119
and I wonder if it's because I would never hurt

1880
01:45:13.119 --> 01:45:15.119
a spider. But I also don't find a lot of spiders.

1881
01:45:15.640 --> 01:45:17.880
Yeah, I think you just don't have bugs.

1882
01:45:18.279 --> 01:45:18.600
Nice.

1883
01:45:19.039 --> 01:45:22.319
Yeah, yeah, well it's funny. Oh sorry, I have a

1884
01:45:22.319 --> 01:45:24.760
lot of spiders and a lot of bugs, so yeah.

1885
01:45:24.600 --> 01:45:26.680
Well it's funny because like, my mom's house is like

1886
01:45:26.720 --> 01:45:30.399
way fancier and in a really nice area, and they

1887
01:45:30.439 --> 01:45:32.159
have way more bugs than I do. Like, I just

1888
01:45:32.159 --> 01:45:33.159
don't have a lot of bugs.

1889
01:45:33.479 --> 01:45:35.159
Yeah that's interesting.

1890
01:45:35.520 --> 01:45:37.960
I find them every so often, but just yeah, like

1891
01:45:39.279 --> 01:45:41.159
usually the only place I see bugs in my house

1892
01:45:41.199 --> 01:45:43.000
is like, if I have like a really old lamp,

1893
01:45:43.039 --> 01:45:46.199
I'll find you know, dead bugs in the lamp, But

1894
01:45:46.239 --> 01:45:47.399
like otherwise I never see.

1895
01:45:47.199 --> 01:45:51.319
Any lucky sort of, Actually, bugs are nice.

1896
01:45:51.920 --> 01:45:55.279
You like bugs? Yeah, yeah, even though they're literally they

1897
01:45:55.279 --> 01:45:59.520
exist only to tickle. That's literally what they're for. How

1898
01:45:59.520 --> 01:46:01.479
about you ever felt like a weird tingling on your

1899
01:46:01.560 --> 01:46:02.920
arm and thought maybe there was a bug there, and

1900
01:46:02.960 --> 01:46:05.039
then there wasn't one, and that was being you were

1901
01:46:05.079 --> 01:46:07.720
you thought about how bugs tickled, That's what you thought about.

1902
01:46:07.800 --> 01:46:11.399
Oh God, I'm just trying to help you.

1903
01:46:11.840 --> 01:46:13.760
I don't think you're trying to help me at all.

1904
01:46:14.039 --> 01:46:16.880
I want you to live your best life, not being tickled.

1905
01:46:16.880 --> 01:46:18.560
So I'm going to tell you all of the tickle

1906
01:46:18.600 --> 01:46:22.199
threats that exist, Oh God, from here on out, not

1907
01:46:22.239 --> 01:46:25.079
just on the show, I'll be text messaging you no

1908
01:46:24.239 --> 01:46:29.479
no with a tickle threat report, like you're you're the president.

1909
01:46:29.680 --> 01:46:34.079
You're at Warrior, but we're going to take a quick break.

1910
01:46:34.159 --> 01:46:36.640
But don't go away, because we're going to be talking

1911
01:46:36.680 --> 01:46:40.399
about something. I think Shell, you'll like this big porridge

1912
01:46:40.479 --> 01:46:52.640
Day oh right after this. So Chell, if you had

1913
01:46:52.680 --> 01:46:57.159
to guess, what do you think big porridge Day is.

1914
01:46:58.800 --> 01:47:03.439
I guess it's probably day where you get like your

1915
01:47:03.560 --> 01:47:14.479
biggest carton of carton, like canister of oatmeal, okay, and

1916
01:47:14.520 --> 01:47:18.399
then you pour it in a pot or vat then

1917
01:47:18.439 --> 01:47:22.039
you just make porridge for everyone.

1918
01:47:22.319 --> 01:47:25.359
You're I was gonna say close, but I think actually

1919
01:47:25.399 --> 01:47:27.000
you're probably as far off as possible.

1920
01:47:27.279 --> 01:47:27.680
Okay.

1921
01:47:28.880 --> 01:47:32.760
Spring is an extremely important and sacred time in Celtic

1922
01:47:32.800 --> 01:47:36.199
and Gaelic culture, and there are many different practices that

1923
01:47:36.239 --> 01:47:39.600
come from places like Ireland, Scotland and Wales related to it.

1924
01:47:41.079 --> 01:47:46.560
One particularly unique springtime superstition that comes from Scotland is

1925
01:47:46.600 --> 01:47:53.680
the tradition of pouring a pot of porridge into the ocean, oh,

1926
01:47:53.720 --> 01:47:59.800
which was believed to draw seaweed, an important and nutritious commodity, to.

1927
01:47:59.800 --> 01:48:04.960
The Okay, I mean, I at least I don't know

1928
01:48:04.960 --> 01:48:07.960
if that works, but I get it sort of.

1929
01:48:08.199 --> 01:48:10.720
It doesn't really sound I don't know, I mean, if

1930
01:48:10.760 --> 01:48:13.840
it does work, it's beyond anything I understand.

1931
01:48:14.840 --> 01:48:16.520
Yeah.

1932
01:48:16.600 --> 01:48:19.279
This event typically took place in late spring, and was

1933
01:48:19.319 --> 01:48:23.319
sometimes called Shore Thursday or Monday Thursday.

1934
01:48:23.880 --> 01:48:26.079
Hmm, that's interesting.

1935
01:48:26.720 --> 01:48:29.920
Ooh the call of the cuckoo.

1936
01:48:32.039 --> 01:48:32.399
Okay.

1937
01:48:32.920 --> 01:48:38.239
Another Scottish springtime myth concerns bird song, a common sign

1938
01:48:38.279 --> 01:48:41.520
of spring, though not all bird song was associated with

1939
01:48:41.600 --> 01:48:46.560
good luck and blooming flowers. Specifically, hearing the song of

1940
01:48:46.600 --> 01:48:48.960
the cuckoo early in the morning was said to bring

1941
01:48:49.000 --> 01:48:53.920
misfortune in some Scottish traditions, so some people even hid

1942
01:48:53.960 --> 01:48:58.000
bread under their pillows and ate breakfast immediately after waking

1943
01:48:58.319 --> 01:49:00.720
to avoid any ill effect.

1944
01:49:01.319 --> 01:49:02.640
Wow, that's rough.

1945
01:49:03.159 --> 01:49:04.760
Your fear of the cuckoo?

1946
01:49:05.720 --> 01:49:09.840
Yeah, so you have to eat bread that you kept

1947
01:49:10.840 --> 01:49:13.840
your pillow. Yeah.

1948
01:49:13.880 --> 01:49:16.319
Wow, Well you don't want to have any ill effects

1949
01:49:16.319 --> 01:49:21.479
from the cuckoo. I guess this one really interests me.

1950
01:49:22.920 --> 01:49:24.840
Burning a snowman.

1951
01:49:25.319 --> 01:49:26.880
Yeah, because I'm not sure how you do that.

1952
01:49:27.760 --> 01:49:29.720
It's it's it's uh, it's the cheat.

1953
01:49:30.239 --> 01:49:31.119
Oh fuck.

1954
01:49:31.920 --> 01:49:35.279
Groundhog Day is a popular tradition said to predict the

1955
01:49:35.319 --> 01:49:40.359
timing of spring's arrival, but another more obscure ritual said

1956
01:49:40.359 --> 01:49:44.239
to do the same thing stems from Switzerland and involves

1957
01:49:44.239 --> 01:49:49.479
burning a snowman called the boig. It had two umlatted

1958
01:49:49.520 --> 01:49:53.000
oh's back to back man boig, I think is how

1959
01:49:53.039 --> 01:49:56.079
you said. The tradition dates back at least to the

1960
01:49:56.119 --> 01:49:59.800
sixteenth century, but may have roots in ancient pagan practice.

1961
01:50:00.159 --> 01:50:03.720
Practice is meant to get rid of winter, and it's

1962
01:50:03.760 --> 01:50:06.720
not hard to see the symbolism in literally setting fire

1963
01:50:06.800 --> 01:50:09.920
to a being made of snow. According to some who

1964
01:50:10.000 --> 01:50:14.159
still practice this tradition, the faster the snowman's head explodes,

1965
01:50:14.479 --> 01:50:20.079
the warmer winter will be yay. You know what. I

1966
01:50:20.119 --> 01:50:22.239
can't actually, as I'm looking at it, I don't I

1967
01:50:22.279 --> 01:50:24.039
can't tell. At first I thought it was just like

1968
01:50:24.039 --> 01:50:27.359
an effigy of a snowman. But this might actually be

1969
01:50:27.560 --> 01:50:28.720
just like a snowman.

1970
01:50:29.760 --> 01:50:31.720
Yeah, I can't really tell what's going.

1971
01:50:31.600 --> 01:50:33.439
On because there's snow on the mountains behind it. So

1972
01:50:33.479 --> 01:50:36.279
I think it's actually a snowman. It's just like a

1973
01:50:36.279 --> 01:50:38.880
a It's like got a frame on it, like it's

1974
01:50:38.880 --> 01:50:39.760
built around it.

1975
01:50:40.319 --> 01:50:42.520
Yeah, I don't know. I'm thinking it might not be

1976
01:50:42.600 --> 01:50:43.479
a real snowman.

1977
01:50:44.880 --> 01:50:47.039
Has a corn cob pipe in his mouth, so I

1978
01:50:47.079 --> 01:50:48.600
think that makes it legally a snowman.

1979
01:50:48.720 --> 01:50:50.159
It looks too much on fire.

1980
01:50:51.279 --> 01:50:53.800
Well, if you pour gasoline on it, it would burn.

1981
01:50:56.680 --> 01:51:00.800
Just say you said about anything though. Yeah, oh, this

1982
01:51:00.840 --> 01:51:09.239
one sounds fun. Drowning a pagan goddess okay. Slavic tradition

1983
01:51:09.399 --> 01:51:12.560
has a similar practice to the Swiss tradition of burning

1984
01:51:12.560 --> 01:51:16.000
a snowman to usher in spring, only the Polish version

1985
01:51:16.199 --> 01:51:19.359
involves parading a straw effigy of the goddess of winter

1986
01:51:19.760 --> 01:51:22.840
through the streets, burning it, throwing it into the water,

1987
01:51:23.000 --> 01:51:24.680
and immediately looking away.

1988
01:51:25.359 --> 01:51:26.000
Wow.

1989
01:51:26.680 --> 01:51:29.720
The immediately looking away part is what makes me go wow.

1990
01:51:29.920 --> 01:51:33.199
The old world man, yes, so they always have something

1991
01:51:33.279 --> 01:51:36.800
like that too, something that to me doesn't even make

1992
01:51:36.840 --> 01:51:38.520
sense as a ritual part like and then you gotta

1993
01:51:38.560 --> 01:51:45.920
look away. Okay. This particular goddess, Marzana is connected to

1994
01:51:46.039 --> 01:51:50.279
plagues and death in addition to winter. Hmm, well that's fun.

1995
01:51:50.800 --> 01:51:51.840
Yeah.

1996
01:51:51.920 --> 01:51:55.439
In old times, it was believed to be extremely important

1997
01:51:55.520 --> 01:51:57.680
not to look at her effigy after it had been

1998
01:51:57.720 --> 01:52:01.159
tossed into the water. Quote. Getting rid of this symbol

1999
01:52:01.199 --> 01:52:06.560
of winter deadness was considered a dangerous act, okay. Rights

2000
01:52:07.039 --> 01:52:13.439
beta wa jakowska, i'm at w oj c I e

2001
01:52:13.760 --> 01:52:17.399
c h O. W Ska. I think it is Wadjakowska.

2002
01:52:19.680 --> 01:52:24.239
That's one of those a history a history professor at

2003
01:52:24.239 --> 01:52:32.560
the jen Kochanowski University, sorry quote. The hostile force, which

2004
01:52:32.640 --> 01:52:36.000
was being destroyed could reveal its destructive power even at

2005
01:52:36.039 --> 01:52:42.159
the very last moment of its existence. Ok yeah, ooh,

2006
01:52:42.199 --> 01:52:44.279
this one. You'll like this one, actually, I think, or

2007
01:52:44.319 --> 01:52:46.159
maybe you'll hate this one. You'll be like, that's wrong.

2008
01:52:46.640 --> 01:52:47.319
Yeah.

2009
01:52:47.399 --> 01:52:49.479
Tying a trinket to a.

2010
01:52:49.479 --> 01:52:52.039
Tree, I mean, I guess that's okay.

2011
01:52:54.000 --> 01:52:56.960
In Romania, the arrival of spring is heralded by the

2012
01:52:57.000 --> 01:53:02.640
holiday of Martysur. As part of this holiday, people often

2013
01:53:02.640 --> 01:53:06.439
wear trinkets with red and white strings. According to superstition,

2014
01:53:06.640 --> 01:53:10.199
tying these strings to trees can bring good luck and

2015
01:53:10.319 --> 01:53:17.840
can help make wishes come true. Okay, sure, I don't

2016
01:53:17.840 --> 01:53:19.239
have a lot of trinkets laying around.

2017
01:53:19.520 --> 01:53:21.680
Yeah, I mean neither. I guess you'd get one and then.

2018
01:53:21.720 --> 01:53:23.520
Yeah, I gotta get one at the trinket shop.

2019
01:53:23.840 --> 01:53:25.800
Yeah. Yeah, And that's kind of nice because the tree

2020
01:53:25.800 --> 01:53:29.039
gets in like a new gift, yeah, that it can wear.

2021
01:53:29.640 --> 01:53:33.880
And the trinket emporium stays in business exactly, the trinket

2022
01:53:33.920 --> 01:53:35.159
industrial complex.

2023
01:53:35.760 --> 01:53:37.279
Yeah, yeah, that's how they get you.

2024
01:53:38.560 --> 01:53:45.520
Ooh. Fairy folklore hmmm. Various cultures have countless superstitions associated

2025
01:53:45.560 --> 01:53:49.039
with fairies, who are often thought to be particularly active

2026
01:53:49.119 --> 01:53:54.479
around spring, and particularly around the pagan holidays of May

2027
01:53:54.560 --> 01:53:59.319
Day or Beltane, which takes place on May first. In

2028
01:53:59.439 --> 01:54:05.199
Celtic pagan tradition, engaging with fairies always required care and respect,

2029
01:54:05.319 --> 01:54:08.439
as they were often said to wreak havoc on humans

2030
01:54:08.720 --> 01:54:13.000
when displeased by them. Yeah, the actual fairy lore is

2031
01:54:13.039 --> 01:54:14.520
really creepy and weird.

2032
01:54:14.920 --> 01:54:16.000
Yeah.

2033
01:54:16.319 --> 01:54:20.239
For example, leaving primrose flowers on doorsteps was something believed

2034
01:54:20.279 --> 01:54:23.880
to attract fairies who would bless the home, but allowing

2035
01:54:23.920 --> 01:54:27.800
these flowers to die was thought to provoke iron among

2036
01:54:27.880 --> 01:54:32.880
the fair folk. Hmmm, it does sound.

2037
01:54:32.760 --> 01:54:34.159
Like flowers do die.

2038
01:54:34.600 --> 01:54:37.560
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the fairies are just ready to get you.

2039
01:54:37.720 --> 01:54:40.479
That's really what it comes down to. Hawthorn trees were

2040
01:54:40.479 --> 01:54:42.960
believed to be entrances to the fairy realm and could

2041
01:54:43.000 --> 01:54:46.159
be asked for blessings, though they were to be avoided

2042
01:54:46.800 --> 01:54:51.199
after dark. Oh no, as fairies would often hang around

2043
01:54:51.239 --> 01:54:54.760
playing dreamy music there in the night, waiting to lure

2044
01:54:54.880 --> 01:54:58.920
humans into the underworld. It was also highly inadvisable to

2045
01:54:59.000 --> 01:55:05.079
destroy a fairy fort or fairy ring. Okay, All traditions

2046
01:55:05.119 --> 01:55:08.239
related to fairies took on more significance during spring, as

2047
01:55:08.279 --> 01:55:11.359
this was the time when they would most often enter

2048
01:55:11.439 --> 01:55:21.239
into the human world. Hm. Daffodils, Yeah, that's all I got, no. Uh.

2049
01:55:21.600 --> 01:55:24.199
Flowers are clear signs of spring, and many have various

2050
01:55:24.239 --> 01:55:28.359
superstitions associated with them. Daffodils, in particular, are shrouded in

2051
01:55:28.479 --> 01:55:33.279
stories and legends. These yellow blooms could traditionally signify both

2052
01:55:33.359 --> 01:55:37.680
misfortune and luck, which makes sense as daffodils can be

2053
01:55:37.840 --> 01:55:40.800
toxic when eaten, yet are often one of the first

2054
01:55:40.840 --> 01:55:43.600
flowers to emerge out of the snow at winter's end,

2055
01:55:44.039 --> 01:55:49.600
leading to their association with rebirth and hope. According to

2056
01:55:49.640 --> 01:55:53.800
some European traditions, finding the year's first daffodil was sometimes

2057
01:55:53.840 --> 01:55:57.560
believed to guarantee a lucky year, but giving someone a

2058
01:55:57.600 --> 01:56:00.319
single daffodil could bring bad luck.

2059
01:56:02.159 --> 01:56:03.720
You gotta be careful. I guess.

2060
01:56:05.000 --> 01:56:09.479
Well, we're finally leaving and Eastern Europe here for a minute.

2061
01:56:10.600 --> 01:56:16.119
Balancing eggs on the equinox wo Chinese legends suggest that

2062
01:56:16.159 --> 01:56:19.680
eggs can balance upright on the spring equinox, a phenomenon

2063
01:56:19.800 --> 01:56:24.960
often associated with the sun's position. Successfully balancing an egg

2064
01:56:25.079 --> 01:56:27.840
has been linked to good fortune for the coming year.

2065
01:56:29.479 --> 01:56:30.439
Well that's nice.

2066
01:56:30.800 --> 01:56:34.560
While there's no scientific backing to this tradition, you think

2067
01:56:34.960 --> 01:56:37.560
it's a fun practice to try any time of year.

2068
01:56:39.000 --> 01:56:40.720
I mean, that's one way to have a good time.

2069
01:56:40.760 --> 01:56:42.359
You like to balance eggs, I imagine.

2070
01:56:42.680 --> 01:56:45.800
I mean I don't normally balance things that are fragile,

2071
01:56:46.600 --> 01:56:48.760
but sure, I'll give it a shot.

2072
01:56:50.279 --> 01:56:54.800
Interestingly, sometimes eggs can be really can be really can

2073
01:56:54.840 --> 01:56:59.520
be balanced upright thanks to a little abrasion on the shells. Oh,

2074
01:57:00.079 --> 01:57:01.960
if you have the patience to work with them for

2075
01:57:02.000 --> 01:57:02.439
a while.

2076
01:57:03.960 --> 01:57:05.600
I just have to like mess it up a little

2077
01:57:05.640 --> 01:57:07.800
and then it will work. Yeah.

2078
01:57:07.840 --> 01:57:10.159
And our last one, this is one we're familiar with.

2079
01:57:10.760 --> 01:57:15.520
Animals predicting the weather. Oh, of course, you know, because

2080
01:57:15.560 --> 01:57:20.479
of a Punksatunny Fill. Animals and their habits have long

2081
01:57:20.560 --> 01:57:23.439
been associated with spring, though this is less based in

2082
01:57:23.520 --> 01:57:28.760
superstition and more rooted in fact. Bears and other mammals

2083
01:57:28.800 --> 01:57:33.239
really do reliably emerge from hibernation during spring. However, this

2084
01:57:33.319 --> 01:57:38.039
reality has generated many superstitions, including groundhog Day, when a

2085
01:57:38.079 --> 01:57:41.920
groundhog seeing his shadow or not signifies the remaining length

2086
01:57:41.960 --> 01:57:47.079
of winter. This particular ritual might have its roots in

2087
01:57:47.159 --> 01:57:50.840
pagan traditions that tried to divine the timing of spring's

2088
01:57:50.880 --> 01:57:54.680
arrival from late winter weather or from the habits of animals.

2089
01:57:55.079 --> 01:57:58.800
For example, a bright sunny day on Candlemas, a pagan

2090
01:57:58.840 --> 01:58:03.720
holiday sometimes celebrated on February second, was sometimes associated with

2091
01:58:03.920 --> 01:58:04.800
a longer winter.

2092
01:58:06.199 --> 01:58:09.239
Interesting how you would like because I would think it'd

2093
01:58:09.279 --> 01:58:11.840
be the other way around. You have a sunny day,

2094
01:58:11.960 --> 01:58:14.840
so maybe springs coming. But that's kind of how groundhog

2095
01:58:14.920 --> 01:58:17.560
Day is too, because if he sees his shadow, you

2096
01:58:17.600 --> 01:58:19.159
would assume it would be sunny out.

2097
01:58:19.279 --> 01:58:22.279
Yeah, and that he was, you know, on the alert

2098
01:58:22.560 --> 01:58:23.960
because he's like, oh got my shadow.

2099
01:58:24.319 --> 01:58:27.359
M Yeah, he doesn't really care.

2100
01:58:27.439 --> 01:58:32.960
But many other animal related beliefs and stories exist, such

2101
01:58:33.000 --> 01:58:35.479
as a long standing folk belief that the sound of

2102
01:58:35.520 --> 01:58:40.800
croaking frogs signifies incoming rain. Interestingly, it turns out that

2103
01:58:40.840 --> 01:58:44.159
frogs really do sometimes start croaking louder when it's about

2104
01:58:44.159 --> 01:58:46.840
to rain, as that as they lay their eggs in

2105
01:58:46.880 --> 01:58:50.520
bodies of water, meaning that male frogs tend to start looking,

2106
01:58:50.600 --> 01:58:57.560
often loudly, for a mate just before a downpour. H

2107
01:58:57.600 --> 01:59:00.039
So there you go. These are all the ways that

2108
01:59:00.159 --> 01:59:02.640
you should definitely ring in spring if you don't have

2109
01:59:02.960 --> 01:59:07.560
If you don't like snakes, oh I said, if you

2110
01:59:07.600 --> 01:59:09.520
don't like them. If you do, you don't do it.

2111
01:59:10.119 --> 01:59:12.680
Yeah, but I don't want people who don't like snakes

2112
01:59:12.720 --> 01:59:13.640
to hurt snakes.

2113
01:59:14.920 --> 01:59:16.840
Well, then you're gonna have to do something about it yourself.

2114
01:59:16.880 --> 01:59:18.279
You're gonna have to start. You're gonna have to put

2115
01:59:18.279 --> 01:59:21.760
your money where your mouth is and become a snake vigilante. Okay, fine,

2116
01:59:23.239 --> 01:59:25.159
Well we're gonna take a quick break and we're gonna

2117
01:59:25.159 --> 01:59:28.399
wrap up this month's Monthly Spooky by talking about some

2118
01:59:28.439 --> 01:59:33.560
horror media, some creepy Reddit stuff, and I promise I

2119
01:59:33.640 --> 01:59:35.720
will not personally hurt any snakes.

2120
01:59:36.039 --> 01:59:37.479
Yay today?

2121
01:59:38.039 --> 01:59:49.520
Oh all right, wrapping up this month's episode, I want

2122
01:59:49.520 --> 01:59:52.199
to mention a few horror films I went to see

2123
01:59:52.199 --> 01:59:55.640
in the theater. There were plenty uh to see in

2124
01:59:55.640 --> 02:00:00.640
the theater. One of the big ones was Scream Part seven.

2125
02:00:01.359 --> 02:00:07.359
Wow Yeah part seven Nev Campbell's back. It made me

2126
02:00:07.439 --> 02:00:13.119
realize something that I feel bad saying. What the Scream

2127
02:00:13.279 --> 02:00:16.840
movies are all so similar to each other, like even

2128
02:00:16.880 --> 02:00:21.760
by horror movie sequel standards. Really they're really similar to

2129
02:00:21.840 --> 02:00:24.560
each other. Man, they're they're almost all the same thing.

2130
02:00:24.680 --> 02:00:28.159
It's just like there's a setup and then it's like, oh,

2131
02:00:28.159 --> 02:00:30.720
could the killer really be back? And then people start

2132
02:00:30.800 --> 02:00:32.560
dying and then they reveal who the killer is and

2133
02:00:32.600 --> 02:00:34.760
they give a monologue about why they're the killing. They're

2134
02:00:34.960 --> 02:00:40.600
really alike. Humh And because it's that's saying something, because

2135
02:00:40.600 --> 02:00:42.720
you know, like, oh, for thirteen movies are all like, yeah,

2136
02:00:42.840 --> 02:00:44.720
kind of, I mean, this guy he's holking around killing

2137
02:00:44.800 --> 02:00:48.479
people at camp, but they're not that much alike, Like

2138
02:00:48.880 --> 02:00:51.880
the broad Strokes are alike, but in these it's like

2139
02:00:52.079 --> 02:00:53.680
all the beats are feel the same.

2140
02:00:54.199 --> 02:00:54.720
Interesting.

2141
02:00:55.119 --> 02:00:58.479
That being said, it was fun. It had some really

2142
02:00:58.520 --> 02:01:02.520
imaginative kills. It's a fun universe to hang out in.

2143
02:01:02.600 --> 02:01:05.119
If you love the Scream movies. Yeah, you know, it's

2144
02:01:05.159 --> 02:01:08.520
cool to get another one. It didn't do anything bad,

2145
02:01:08.680 --> 02:01:11.279
it just it just I really kind of realized. I

2146
02:01:11.279 --> 02:01:14.720
was like, crap, are these all basically the same movie?

2147
02:01:15.119 --> 02:01:15.560
Interesting?

2148
02:01:15.920 --> 02:01:21.039
They kind of are so uh yeah, but if you

2149
02:01:21.159 --> 02:01:23.960
like basically, if you like the Scream movies, it's worth seeing.

2150
02:01:24.880 --> 02:01:25.560
That makes sense.

2151
02:01:26.920 --> 02:01:29.520
After that, I saw Undertone, which I talked about at

2152
02:01:29.560 --> 02:01:31.439
the beginning of the show. I loved it. I thought

2153
02:01:31.479 --> 02:01:35.119
it was really scary and really creepy. It is. It

2154
02:01:35.119 --> 02:01:38.800
does star a woman who hosts a horror podcast, which

2155
02:01:38.840 --> 02:01:40.960
is hilarious that I like, was like, man, I could

2156
02:01:41.000 --> 02:01:42.960
really use a break from work. I'm gonna go watch this.

2157
02:01:43.039 --> 02:01:46.039
And then it's just no, no, no joke. She sits

2158
02:01:46.079 --> 02:01:48.560
down at the dining room table and she's using the

2159
02:01:48.600 --> 02:01:51.279
microphone I'm talking into right now. Oh wow, it was

2160
02:01:51.279 --> 02:01:54.520
an electro voice are twenty because she sat down and

2161
02:01:54.520 --> 02:01:56.560
started talking and I was like and I was like, wow,

2162
02:01:56.680 --> 02:01:59.239
at least she knows that you talk into the front

2163
02:01:59.239 --> 02:02:01.239
of it and not the side, because I've seen movies

2164
02:02:01.239 --> 02:02:02.600
where people talking to the side.

2165
02:02:03.000 --> 02:02:03.680
Wow.

2166
02:02:05.560 --> 02:02:11.279
Yeah, including Halloween Ends. Yeah, the radio disc jockey's talking

2167
02:02:11.279 --> 02:02:13.640
into the side of it, because you're gonna make me

2168
02:02:13.720 --> 02:02:17.920
nerd out. But it has like little vents on the side,

2169
02:02:18.520 --> 02:02:21.119
so some people think it's a side address microphone because

2170
02:02:21.119 --> 02:02:24.840
they're events, But the vents are actually variable d which

2171
02:02:24.880 --> 02:02:31.119
makes makes the proximity effect less noticeable. Okay, it's actually

2172
02:02:31.119 --> 02:02:32.920
meant so that you can kind of move around a

2173
02:02:32.920 --> 02:02:34.840
little bit, and they don't hear it in your voice,

2174
02:02:34.920 --> 02:02:36.640
because like, see it when I get this close, it

2175
02:02:36.680 --> 02:02:39.720
doesn't get crazy basy. I mean there's still more base,

2176
02:02:39.840 --> 02:02:43.439
but yeah, it doesn't sound in it's just volume up. Yeah, yeah,

2177
02:02:43.479 --> 02:02:46.239
it's it's a thing with these mics. But I will

2178
02:02:46.279 --> 02:02:49.720
say she had the she had a cheaper mic arm

2179
02:02:50.600 --> 02:02:52.680
and she didn't have a shock mount, and that drove

2180
02:02:52.760 --> 02:02:55.079
me crazy. I was like, you're gonna use You're gonna

2181
02:02:55.079 --> 02:02:57.680
spend four hundred and eighty dollars on that microphone and

2182
02:02:57.680 --> 02:02:59.880
not have a shock mount. You're gonna just put it

2183
02:02:59.920 --> 02:03:03.079
on whatever Mike's stand you have. I'm my mom. That's

2184
02:03:03.079 --> 02:03:06.319
how my mom talks about stuff like that. But no,

2185
02:03:06.439 --> 02:03:09.439
it was really it was a cool movie. She's in

2186
02:03:09.520 --> 02:03:12.119
a house with her mother who has been sick for

2187
02:03:12.159 --> 02:03:15.039
a long time and now is in the process of dying.

2188
02:03:17.000 --> 02:03:20.960
And it's creepy, it's scary. It's got an incredible amount

2189
02:03:20.960 --> 02:03:24.760
of millennium dread, millennium millennial dread. It's got an incredible

2190
02:03:24.800 --> 02:03:28.439
amount of Internet culture in it that I thought was

2191
02:03:28.479 --> 02:03:32.840
really fun. So I really recommend Undertone the most of

2192
02:03:32.840 --> 02:03:37.039
all the horror movies I've seen this month. Cool and Finally,

2193
02:03:38.159 --> 02:03:40.600
the last horror film that I saw in the theater

2194
02:03:40.720 --> 02:03:45.399
this month was Ready or Not Too two, which is

2195
02:03:45.439 --> 02:03:48.960
Ready or Not under in the subheading is Here I Come,

2196
02:03:49.000 --> 02:03:52.399
which I thought was perfect. Did you ever see Ready

2197
02:03:52.479 --> 02:03:55.760
or Not? You would love it. It's really good. It's

2198
02:03:55.800 --> 02:03:59.159
really good. It's basically this woman marries into a family

2199
02:03:59.159 --> 02:04:02.600
where they have to play they like on their wedding night,

2200
02:04:02.640 --> 02:04:05.880
they have to play to the death Hydria or hide

2201
02:04:05.920 --> 02:04:09.600
and seek. Huh, there's more to it, but like I

2202
02:04:09.680 --> 02:04:12.600
actually realized that when I try to describe it in detail,

2203
02:04:12.640 --> 02:04:16.760
it just doesn't work because it's so it's so intricately wild. Yeah,

2204
02:04:17.079 --> 02:04:18.680
because I tried to explain, like, yeah, so they do

2205
02:04:18.680 --> 02:04:20.000
this and this and this and then this hapend was

2206
02:04:20.000 --> 02:04:21.800
like no, no, it's just they're play hide and seek to death.

2207
02:04:21.880 --> 02:04:23.600
That's what you need to know to go and see it,

2208
02:04:23.640 --> 02:04:26.399
and then you can get all the awesome backstory because

2209
02:04:26.399 --> 02:04:28.359
there's lots of cool stuff. But you really should watch

2210
02:04:28.399 --> 02:04:30.439
Ready or Not. I think you'd like it a lot. Okay,

2211
02:04:31.199 --> 02:04:35.920
It's one of those horror films that's scary and really

2212
02:04:35.960 --> 02:04:39.319
funny without being like silly all the time. You know,

2213
02:04:39.439 --> 02:04:41.960
like it's not joky, but it's sincerely funny. There's a

2214
02:04:42.000 --> 02:04:45.600
lot of really great lines. Since there's a sequel, I

2215
02:04:45.680 --> 02:04:47.680
can say that at the end, you know, because she

2216
02:04:47.760 --> 02:04:51.079
obviously doesn't die if there's a sequel. Right, She's sitting

2217
02:04:51.159 --> 02:04:53.640
on the front porch of this house, just drenched in

2218
02:04:53.720 --> 02:04:56.880
blood in her wedding gown and she's just smoking a

2219
02:04:56.920 --> 02:05:00.159
cigarette like with her handshaking, and when the police walk

2220
02:05:00.239 --> 02:05:01.560
up to it and they go, what happened to you?

2221
02:05:01.640 --> 02:05:07.359
And she goes in laws, come on, you know, you call?

2222
02:05:07.439 --> 02:05:08.720
Could you not love a movie like that?

2223
02:05:08.800 --> 02:05:08.960
You know?

2224
02:05:10.000 --> 02:05:14.000
So? But Ready or Not here I come. I think

2225
02:05:14.039 --> 02:05:16.039
that the first Ready or Not was like lightning in

2226
02:05:16.079 --> 02:05:18.880
a bottle. It's and that's a hard thing to because

2227
02:05:18.920 --> 02:05:20.239
it was not fair to say, you know, as good

2228
02:05:20.239 --> 02:05:22.359
as the first one. Well, the first one blew everybody's mind.

2229
02:05:22.359 --> 02:05:25.159
Nobody was expecting it to be so good. Yeah. I

2230
02:05:25.199 --> 02:05:27.239
thought it was damn fun I thought it was really

2231
02:05:27.239 --> 02:05:30.560
cool how they expanded the world of why they hunt

2232
02:05:30.640 --> 02:05:34.920
people and play hide and seek. I thought Samorrow Weaving

2233
02:05:35.399 --> 02:05:38.520
was great stepping back into that role. So if you

2234
02:05:38.600 --> 02:05:40.560
liked Ready or Not, you desperately need to see Ready

2235
02:05:40.680 --> 02:05:42.520
or Not Here. I come and if you've never seen

2236
02:05:42.560 --> 02:05:44.640
Ready or Not, you need to see Ready or Not.

2237
02:05:45.239 --> 02:05:46.960
That's my full opinion.

2238
02:05:47.479 --> 02:05:47.680
Yeah.

2239
02:05:48.600 --> 02:05:51.479
So with that being said, Chell, do we have anything

2240
02:05:51.560 --> 02:05:52.720
creepy on Reddit?

2241
02:05:54.079 --> 02:05:56.880
So Reddit was really hard this month. I was looking

2242
02:05:56.880 --> 02:06:00.800
on glitch in the Matrix and all the stuff was like, yeah, no,

2243
02:06:01.159 --> 02:06:03.800
that that that's just something that happens to people in

2244
02:06:03.800 --> 02:06:05.880
real life. I don't know why you're freaking out about that.

2245
02:06:06.840 --> 02:06:13.239
But I did find on there was a there was

2246
02:06:13.279 --> 02:06:17.119
an ask Reddit that was like, I can't even tell

2247
02:06:17.159 --> 02:06:18.840
you what it was. It was the creepiest thing that

2248
02:06:18.880 --> 02:06:22.239
ever had that ever happened to you in the woods. Okay,

2249
02:06:23.800 --> 02:06:25.880
but most of them were just not that creepy. But

2250
02:06:25.960 --> 02:06:31.720
there's this one person and they were hiking in where

2251
02:06:31.720 --> 02:06:41.960
the hell not Kentucky. It was a Kentucky.

2252
02:06:38.000 --> 02:06:40.159
Damn in West Virginia, I don't know.

2253
02:06:40.920 --> 02:06:45.239
No, it was like somewhere Hirish. They oh, they just said,

2254
02:06:45.399 --> 02:06:49.920
they just said the eastern US. Oka say. So they're

2255
02:06:49.960 --> 02:06:55.359
hiking and they like they're just gonna like stay overnight

2256
02:06:55.479 --> 02:06:57.640
and then hike back in the morning or something. So

2257
02:06:57.680 --> 02:07:01.880
they like set up there tent and everything, and they're

2258
02:07:01.920 --> 02:07:04.039
like having a fire and like reading a book and

2259
02:07:04.119 --> 02:07:08.560
just being a person. It's in the evening and they

2260
02:07:09.199 --> 02:07:13.199
hear this really really loud like bang or crash, and

2261
02:07:13.279 --> 02:07:16.560
they're like a seasoned hiker, so they they were like,

2262
02:07:16.600 --> 02:07:19.000
that's not a normal sound. That sounds like a car

2263
02:07:19.239 --> 02:07:19.960
hits something.

2264
02:07:20.479 --> 02:07:21.279
Yeah.

2265
02:07:21.319 --> 02:07:23.560
So they get up to kind of like look around

2266
02:07:23.560 --> 02:07:25.640
and they don't see anything, and they're like, Okay, I

2267
02:07:25.680 --> 02:07:27.720
mean whatever, go back.

2268
02:07:27.760 --> 02:07:27.840
Oh.

2269
02:07:27.920 --> 02:07:30.359
And at this point they like texted their wife or

2270
02:07:30.520 --> 02:07:32.840
girlfriend or something to say like, Hey, I'm gonna go

2271
02:07:32.880 --> 02:07:35.000
look at something like if I hope I don't die,

2272
02:07:35.039 --> 02:07:39.399
I kind of do get back, sit down, gonna read

2273
02:07:39.399 --> 02:07:42.359
the book again because obviously there's really nothing going on. Yeah,

2274
02:07:43.159 --> 02:07:45.439
don't remember anything else until three o'clock in the morning

2275
02:07:45.600 --> 02:07:49.399
when they wake up and they're like, okay, I don't

2276
02:07:49.439 --> 02:07:50.760
even remember going to sleep.

2277
02:07:51.319 --> 02:07:51.439
Oh.

2278
02:07:51.520 --> 02:07:55.000
Book is like on them closed. I think they had

2279
02:07:55.039 --> 02:08:00.159
like a they like can't find their their fire is out. Basically,

2280
02:08:00.560 --> 02:08:04.359
they like can't find their flashlight with their phone. So

2281
02:08:04.399 --> 02:08:07.720
they're like, so they have like a watch, I guess,

2282
02:08:07.720 --> 02:08:11.680
like a you know, special watch thing, and so they're

2283
02:08:11.680 --> 02:08:13.920
trying to use their phone light to like find things.

2284
02:08:14.680 --> 02:08:17.640
Go over to the tent, and a tent like two

2285
02:08:17.680 --> 02:08:19.680
of the ten poles have just been ripped the fuck

2286
02:08:19.720 --> 02:08:22.920
out and their tent is all like folded and wound up,

2287
02:08:23.640 --> 02:08:27.279
so they're like okay. They they unwind their tents and

2288
02:08:27.319 --> 02:08:30.079
it's still like closed in everything and unzip it, and

2289
02:08:30.199 --> 02:08:34.920
inside their sleeping bag is their like phone and flashlight

2290
02:08:34.960 --> 02:08:37.239
like all shoved at the bottom of the sleeping bag,

2291
02:08:37.960 --> 02:08:41.039
and it like including like a I think that the

2292
02:08:41.039 --> 02:08:43.039
the person had like a the flashlight around their neck

2293
02:08:43.119 --> 02:08:46.840
or something. So just no idea what happens. Never figured

2294
02:08:46.880 --> 02:08:48.640
it out. They just didn't go back to sleep that

2295
02:08:48.760 --> 02:08:50.039
night and then they went home.

2296
02:08:51.199 --> 02:08:54.680
Well, the involvement of three am makes me skeptical because

2297
02:08:54.760 --> 02:08:57.239
three am is the popular internet witching hour.

2298
02:08:57.640 --> 02:08:59.600
It might not have been three am. It might be

2299
02:08:59.680 --> 02:09:02.880
that I remember it as three am, but.

2300
02:09:04.880 --> 02:09:07.520
That one, I mean, I'd be perplexed. I mean, not

2301
02:09:07.640 --> 02:09:11.279
remembering falling asleep. That's not so crazy, you know, sometimes

2302
02:09:11.319 --> 02:09:16.479
you just fall asleep, but all the stuff being all

2303
02:09:16.520 --> 02:09:19.359
messed up. I mean, like, did they happen to mention

2304
02:09:19.560 --> 02:09:22.560
earlier in the story that they were foraging for mushrooms

2305
02:09:22.560 --> 02:09:23.880
to eat that night or anything?

2306
02:09:24.079 --> 02:09:26.199
No, no, And they didn't say like I took a

2307
02:09:26.199 --> 02:09:28.680
bunch of drugs or I was on ambient.

2308
02:09:31.199 --> 02:09:34.920
Did anybody ask if the woods had a carbon monoxide detector?

2309
02:09:35.479 --> 02:09:36.359
No one asked that.

2310
02:09:36.960 --> 02:09:40.279
Yeah, man, Red, it really is slipping.

2311
02:09:40.760 --> 02:09:43.359
Yeah yeah, but yeah, I don't know. I mean, I

2312
02:09:43.359 --> 02:09:46.159
can only assume that they like sleep walked or like

2313
02:09:46.239 --> 02:09:49.520
something happened, they get some sort of mental breakdown, because

2314
02:09:49.680 --> 02:09:52.960
aside from that, like aliens, I don't know.

2315
02:09:55.479 --> 02:10:00.119
Yeah, aliens would be like the I mean or I

2316
02:10:00.119 --> 02:10:03.600
mean alternate universe. I mean, you could have he could

2317
02:10:03.600 --> 02:10:06.039
have like been in another he could have like switched

2318
02:10:06.039 --> 02:10:07.880
to a universe where his stuff was all changed.

2319
02:10:09.239 --> 02:10:12.119
I guess it's just weird because something happened and like

2320
02:10:12.239 --> 02:10:14.880
ripped the ten out of the ground, so he didn't

2321
02:10:14.920 --> 02:10:16.920
do it. You would think he would have woken up

2322
02:10:17.359 --> 02:10:19.800
of course someone else doing it. So it's weird.

2323
02:10:20.399 --> 02:10:24.880
It is, No, it's super weird. Yeah huh, yeah, I've

2324
02:10:24.880 --> 02:10:29.439
gotten I don't know what the hell that could have been. Yeah, well,

2325
02:10:30.840 --> 02:10:33.439
good job, chill. That one actually was pretty weird. Like

2326
02:10:33.479 --> 02:10:37.239
that one actually got me a bit, so oh chill. Well,
