00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:05.400
Our summer mini series continues with Kiewee Richter learning the
2
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:11.839
truth about the cursed Double Zero, Jersey, Greg Branlake's missing body,
3
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:16.920
and the demon stalking Camp Red Feather because the monster
4
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:21.000
is back on the field and no one is safe.
5
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:30.320
What's that you want to be scared? He Come with me.
6
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:41.159
You will experience tales over our roam.
7
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:42.479
Ghosts and death.
8
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:50.119
It is not recommended for the week at art Listeners
9
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.240
in the dark. It's more fun at.
10
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:57.719
That way way. This is Weekly Speaking.
11
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:11.079
Hello, my spookies. It's Wednesday, and you know what that means.
12
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:16.799
It's time for a little spooky in your weekly. I'm
13
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:20.599
your host, Enrique Kuto, and tonight we bring you part
14
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:26.760
two of our summer mini series, aptly titled Summer of
15
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.319
the Demon. You're not gonna want to miss this because
16
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:35.120
so much is revealed and so much blood is shed.
17
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:37.920
But before we get to that, I want to say
18
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.680
thank you all so much for joining us here tonight.
19
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:46.760

00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:52.599

the show going for another four hundred episodes. But now,
36
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:55.080
as for tonight, what if the monster chasing you wasn't
37
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:59.360
just back from the dead. What if it left clues behind,
38
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:05.080
a missing body, a vanishing jersey, a box of journals
39
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:10.960
filled with obsession, rage, and secrets nobody was ever supposed
40
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:15.240
to read. Pee Wee Richter thought surviving the demon once
41
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:20.960
made him lucky, but at Camp Redfeather, luck is running
42
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:27.639
out because the demon isn't hiding in nightmares anymore. He's
43
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:37.919
in the daylight last time. On Summer of the Demon,
44
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:42.560
Eddie pee Wee Richter recounts how he braved the Demon
45
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:47.240
and won the state championship for Strickfield High. His life
46
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:51.080
hasn't been the same since. The following summer, Eddie and
47
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.599
some of his teammates are at a football camp to
48
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.520
practice playing at Strickfield U in the fall. Eddie still
49
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:02.439
has nightmares about the championship. Gar Aim, the Demon returns
50
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:06.199
to wreak havoc at the camp, killing the former quarterback
51
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:11.039
of Strickfield High. Unable to cope, Eddie tries to escape
52
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:15.680
the camp, only for the Demon to intercept him. Knowing
53
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:19.759
that he has to do something, Eddie returns to Strickfield
54
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.839
and breaks into Greg Brandlake's house. Finding some of his
55
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:27.680
old journals, Eddie reads an entry regarding the jersey that
56
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:32.439
transformed Greg into the Demon. Eddie is soon ambushed and
57
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:37.560
shocked into unconsciousness as the Demon found Eddie again for
58
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:42.279
the final confrontation. Let's find out In Summer of the
59
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:48.759
Demon Part two by Rob Fields. I wake up and
60
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:53.800
see I'm on a bed still in Greg Brandlake's room.
61
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.399
The lights are on and I'm seeing an older couple,
62
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:04.360
both wearing paja ammas and slippers. Easy, son, The man says,
63
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.560
what are you doing in our house? The woman demands.
64
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.040
When I see the man's got a gun, I raise
65
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:16.000
my hands. I ain't here to rob you. The man
66
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:20.040
puts the gun down on Greg's desk. I'm not going
67
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:23.040
to shoot you. I only stunned you with a taser.
68
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:28.920
I'm not arresting you because you're peewee richter. See. I'm
69
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:33.120
with Strickfield PD. You were in the state championship game
70
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:38.240
that night at Strickfield Academy. I nod and point to them,
71
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:42.000
and if you two were there, you saw what happened
72
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:46.439
to Greg. The couple glances at each other. Then the
73
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.680
woman sighs. The man holds up the journal I was
74
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:55.079
looking at. Greg's been keeping these since he started playing football.
75
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.480
May I ask what you were looking for in them?
76
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:04.000
I sigh. You're not going to believe me, son, we
77
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.480
saw what happened to Greg on the field that night,
78
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:12.519
just like you. Mister Branlake reminds me the demon's back.
79
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:17.800
I blurret out. When Greg's parents stare at me in disbelief,
80
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:22.639
I tell them what happened at Camp Redfeather. Was he
81
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:29.639
wearing that Micknight jersey? Mister Branlake demands, sir, you can't
82
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:33.600
not see that double zero or those glowing red eyes.
83
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:38.519
I answer, but that's why I came here to see
84
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:42.160
if I could find out anything about that jersey. I
85
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.399
think I found something in the journals before you busted me.
86
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:50.120
I really feel bad now. I know what I did
87
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:53.079
was wrong, and if you have to arrest me, I
88
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:57.279
get it. I said, I'm not going to arrest you, son.
89
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:03.040
Mister Brandlake said, come downstairs. I got some things to
90
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.920
share with you. I get off the bed and follow
91
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:11.519
them downstairs. Missus Brandlake tells me to sit on the couch.
92
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:17.360
I read all of Greg's journals, mister Branlake says, sitting down.
93
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:23.040
Greg bought that Micknight jersey at this junk store called Tinkers.
94
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.720
Ever hear of it, I shake my head, can't say
95
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:33.120
I have. Mister Branlake continues, Greg saw that jersey and
96
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:35.680
spent a lot of money to get it. It was
97
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.639
no secret he was struggling with coach Crandon. I think
98
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:43.279
his game suffered because of him. He nearly lost his
99
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:47.519
quarterback position because of what you did at the Battle
100
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:52.040
of Strickfield. When I look scared, mister Branlake raises his
101
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:56.120
hand a little relax, son, you were just playing the game.
102
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:01.279
I respect that, he sighs. When when Greg started wearing
103
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:05.279
that jersey, he got better and fast. At first I
104
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.560
thought he got his confidence back. I couldn't tell you
105
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:12.360
what was inside that jersey, but I knew something bad
106
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:16.560
had got into Greg. He turned on his friends, especially
107
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:22.800
his girlfriend, Katie Kleine. Greg never turned against us, Missus
108
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:27.519
Brandlake added, but George and I knew something was terribly
109
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:32.519
wrong with him. She heavy sighs. When we heard about
110
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:38.399
coach Crandon's murder, we knew Greg did it. Looking in
111
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:42.120
the later journals, Greg was obsessed with getting even with you,
112
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:46.600
mister Branlake says, and based on what happened at the
113
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:51.240
state championship game, not to mention what you told us upstairs.
114
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:55.720
I gulp. Do either of you think Greg's back from
115
00:08:55.759 --> 00:09:00.000
the dead. I was going to ask you that, Eddie,
116
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:07.399
Missus Branlake answers in a shaky voice. I think about it. Okay.
117
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:12.000
If you're right about the jersey, then what happened after
118
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:19.879
the well after Greg was killed, Missus Branlake finishes for me.
119
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.000
She gets up and goes into the den. Then she
120
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.480
returns with a copy of the Strickfield Journal. This paper's
121
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:32.519
from two weeks ago. I take the paper and see
122
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:37.919
the headline deceased high school football star missing from grave.
123
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.919
I feel my heart pounding fast as I try to
124
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:47.279
read the article. Missus Brandlake must have seen how scared
125
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:50.799
I am, because she eases the paper away from me.
126
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:55.679
It was a shock to us too, son, mister Branlake says,
127
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:59.639
Chief Kasmarak called me into the office and told me
128
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:05.000
about it. Then I had the unfortunate responsibility of informing
129
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:09.919
my wife and daughter. I still can't believe it, Missus
130
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:17.000
Brandlake says quietly. I had to ask Greg wasn't buried
131
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.240
with that jersey? Was he.
132
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:25.200
No?
133
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:30.039
Mister Branlake quickly answers he had it on him that
134
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.360
night at the game when he was killed. The hospital
135
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:36.200
Morgue called the station to tell us the jersey had
136
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:41.360
disappeared from there. We never figured out who took it,
137
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:45.879
but that jersey wasn't anywhere near Greg when we had
138
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:51.039
the funeral service and buried him at the funeral home.
139
00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:55.600
I even checked under his suit myself. Greg might have
140
00:10:55.720 --> 00:11:00.279
returned as the demon. I tell them he's already killed
141
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.120
a couple of us at the camp where we're practicing.
142
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:08.200
The bran Lakes both give me a sympathetic look. Now,
143
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:12.759
mister Brandlake gives me a stern one. I hope you're wrong,
144
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.759
but if you're looking into it, you can look through
145
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.720
the journals or whatever else is in Greg's room. You
146
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:23.039
can even take what you need, so long as you
147
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:28.200
bring everything back when you're finished. We just want Greg
148
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:32.879
to rest in peace. Missus Branlake ads, and if you
149
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:36.080
need me to look into anything for you, son, just
150
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:41.720
give me a call. Mister Branlake ads, thank you, I reply.
151
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.559
Before they head back up to bed, mister Branlake gives
152
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:50.000
me their phone numbers. I head back up to Greg's
153
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.919
room to skim through the journals some more. I end
154
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.759
up taking a few select ones before I leave the
155
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:01.440
house time to hitch a ride back back to Camp
156
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:12.559
Red Feather. The next day, like yesterday, I didn't sleep good.
157
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:15.799
I wanted to read through the journals I borrowed, but
158
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.440
was too tired. On the field, I'm barely keeping the
159
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:25.240
other players off me. Coach Mercer notices. Come on, Richter,
160
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:28.200
you're better than this. You just showing off or what
161
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:32.919
I wish I was showing off. The only thing keeping
162
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:35.519
me awake are the two cups of coffee I downed
163
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.559
in the rec hall and wondering when the Demon is
164
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:43.799
coming back. Coach Mercer gives me a hard time again
165
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:49.000
when Mark Schumer viciously creams me during a play. Come on, Richter,
166
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:52.559
we ain't in the MAAC conference no more. You start
167
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.039
out like this against old miss to be fair, Coach
168
00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:01.440
Mercer's writing everybody, and he's right. Moving to SEC is
169
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.159
a big deal for the Serpents, but those other teams
170
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.840
don't have the demon haunting and killing their players. I
171
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:12.240
managed to pull it together and get a few good
172
00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:16.080
compliments out of the coach. The end of practice couldn't
173
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:25.799
come soon enough. That night, the football team and cheerleaders
174
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:29.000
are at the pool. The guys talked me into putting
175
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:31.679
my trunks on, but I don't get in the water.
176
00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:35.559
I can swim. I just have a gut feeling the
177
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:38.960
Demon might show up. I know some of the staff
178
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.200
here have seen him. I'm surprised Camp Redfeather hasn't been
179
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:47.679
shut down. Mister Branlake wasn't kidding about Greg wanting to
180
00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:51.399
get even with me. It wasn't just me he was
181
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:55.159
obsessed with. He was obsessed with Mick Knight, which was
182
00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:58.759
the whole reason why he wanted to play football. I
183
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.519
don't think he knew what that jersey could do before
184
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:04.440
he saw it at the shop. But once he felt
185
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:09.080
that power, that was it. Greg got the girls, He
186
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:12.960
got the full ride scholarship offers to top colleges. He
187
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.759
became the talk of the high school football scene. If
188
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:19.600
he hadn't been killed, Greg might have breezed his way
189
00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:24.159
through college ball and moved on to the NFL. When
190
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:28.000
I see my teammates having fun with the cheerleaders, Charlie
191
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:32.399
Thass comes floating by, Come on, pee, wee get in here.
192
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:36.159
It's still too hot out to just sit around out there.
193
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:42.120
I smile a little, Yeah, you ain't wrong. When Chase
194
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:46.919
Randall approaches the pool, all eyes are on her and fast.
195
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:51.159
Then my jaw drops fast, but not because of Chase's
196
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:56.480
provocative bikini. The demons coming out of the thick bushes nearby.
197
00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:02.759
Look out, I yell to him. The demon leaps and
198
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:05.679
lands in the pool as Chase and I are helping
199
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.879
people get out, but the demon reaches Biff Errands before
200
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:14.120
we can. Didn't anybody ever tell you never to go
201
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:19.279
swimming after dinner? The demon jeers, get off me, you
202
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:25.120
fuck her, Biff yells. Now they both disappear under the water.
203
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:32.440
Soon the pool is turning blood red. Everybody's screaming when
204
00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:36.480
body parts come up to the surface like flotation devices.
205
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:40.919
When the demon resurfaces, more people gasp. When he's got
206
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:45.679
Biff head in hand, Go out for a pass, go deep.
207
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:50.240
When the Demon's got his eyes on Kim Tolman, a cheerleader.
208
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:55.039
She's too scared to run away. I try and help her,
209
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:58.799
but suddenly I feel myself being forced to the ground.
210
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:03.039
The demon leaped out of the water and clobbered me.
211
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:07.679
Penalty too many men on the field, Pee wee. The
212
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.360
demon jeers, pinning me down with a knee on my back.
213
00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:17.039
Get off me, I yell, just stop. You want your revenge,
214
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:22.559
then take me. The demon ignores me and tells Kim,
215
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:28.360
I told you to go long. The demon throws Biff's
216
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:32.799
head right into Kim's stomach. The demon throws Biff's head
217
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:37.080
right into Kim's midsection. She only gasps for a moment
218
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:42.639
before bleeding from her stomach. With Biff's head lodged in there.
219
00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:47.960
Her mouth's bleeding as she falls to her knees. As
220
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:51.159
she drops on her side, the demon gets off me
221
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:55.919
and moves to her. Kim wasn't dead yet. When he
222
00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:00.799
makes a punt, her head immediately fly right off her
223
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:07.160
body and soars out to the field, eventually splitting the uprights.
224
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:11.759
Now the demon grabs me and lifts me up. I'm
225
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:15.519
still scared, but I'm also pissed off at how he
226
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:19.759
killed Biff and Kim just like that. I told you,
227
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:25.039
a little man, you die when I say so, not before.
228
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:29.759
Why don't you go for a little swim and cool off? No,
229
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.720
I scream When he throws me in the bloody pool,
230
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:37.640
I sink to the bottom of the deep end and
231
00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:41.759
make myself come back up. Even though the blood was
232
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:45.559
diluted by the water, I still had red all over me.
233
00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:49.599
When I climbed out of the pool. The demons on
234
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.319
the other side of the pool and points at me.
235
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:58.640
Now that's blood, sweat and tears. The demon laughs cruelly
236
00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:03.119
before he turned and heads back into the trees. I
237
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:07.480
want to go after him. But what would I even do?
238
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:12.839
How would I bring the demon down? I feel so helpless,
239
00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:24.480
and I start crying. The next afternoon practice was called off.
240
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:28.960
Coach Mercer didn't even try getting people motivated when he
241
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:32.519
saw how messed up we all were at breakfast. I
242
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:36.079
take the journals and head out to be alone. When
243
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:39.000
I find a big tree, I park it and start
