1
00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:04.280
Deep sea fish washing up on the shores of California

2
00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:11.080
could spell doom and danger. Never ever trust a giraffe

3
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:16.399
and a ghost that makes a troubling pass it you romantically.

4
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:23.120
Get contact, turn off the life. It's Monthly Spooky.

5
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:30.760
Well, hello, my spookies, and yes, Kelle, you earned that

6
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:35.640
sigh of relief you had. We were experiencing some technical

7
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.520
difficulties at the start of the show, but now we

8
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:42.520
are back with Monthly Spooky. I am, of course your host,

9
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:47.640
Enrique Kuto here with my good buddy and co host Michelle. Michelle,

10
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:48.280
how are you.

11
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:51.920
I'm fine, everything's fine.

12
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.600
Yeah, I feel that. I feel that very much.

13
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:57.679
Yeah.

14
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:01.600
So we are here to talk about some spooky topics

15
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:06.840
and just some general tomfoolery in the world of spooky,

16
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:12.760
as well as be you know, moderately depressed together I suppose. Yeah,

17
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:17.400
so hooray. But uh, Chelle, how was your Halloween?

18
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:22.680
I don't remember. It was fine. My my dad was here,

19
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:27.280
so we he was here during it.

20
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.400
Yeah, you handed out candy mostly.

21
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:31.959
I just handed out the candy.

22
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:33.159
What did your dad do?

23
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:39.840
Then just kind of hang out. We were watching that

24
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:44.079
like the Halloween that by that thing where they like

25
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:47.640
the Halloween Challenge baking thing where they have the pumpkin

26
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:51.359
person and then like the candy person and the cake person.

27
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:54.920
I am not familiar, but now I kind of wish

28
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:55.359
I was.

29
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.719
It was it's really good because they have them make

30
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:02.480
like really scary scenes a pumpkin, cake and candy together

31
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:07.239
like their team. And then yeah, I.

32
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:09.520
Mean fair enough did did did? Do you think the

33
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:11.680
winner was the was the real winner? Or did you

34
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:13.319
feel like they got stolen? They got robbed?

35
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.120
Oh? I didn't see all of it because it's like multiple,

36
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.520
multiple episodes, so I think I saw like the middle ones,

37
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:21.520
and then I was like, Okay, that was good.

38
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:28.439
Hurtful, didn't even finish it, didn't even finish it well.

39
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:34.479
I had a great Halloween aside from having just getting

40
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:38.960
over a cold. I handed out candy. We had way

41
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.719
too many kids. It was great. Yeah, it's so weird,

42
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.360
you know. I read on like Facebook and stuff. I

43
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:48.039
have so many friends who are like, there's no kids

44
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:52.199
trigger treating anymore in my neighborhood. It's just every year

45
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:56.360
there's more, Like uh, I mean when I grew up

46
00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:59.879
in and around this area, there were like no kids.

47
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.240
It was like, you know, maybe three or four kids

48
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:08.560
per block. It was very very minimal. Now we're just

49
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:09.719
maggoty with kids.

50
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:10.479
Yeah.

51
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:14.439
So and it makes Halloween really fun. And now we're

52
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.800
starting to get kids who come back to my house

53
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.280
because they know that we'll have the cool decorations and

54
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:24.039
a lot of candy. Cool because we give out handfuls

55
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:28.439
of candy. So my role is big handfuls for at

56
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:31.120
least the first hour. And then once you once you

57
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.039
notice your down to like the last big bowl, you

58
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:35.080
slowed down a little bit, maybe two or three pieces.

59
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:39.840
Because the youngest kids come early. Yeah, you know, and

60
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:42.479
they're the ones who need the most candy in my

61
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:44.439
in my estimation.

62
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:45.560
Yeah, because they're still growing.

63
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:51.080
Yeah yeah, they growing bodies needs. They need highrouctose corn syrup. Man.

64
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:51.719
Yeah.

65
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:54.960
So plus the older kids, it's like candy is a

66
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.960
little less exciting to the older kids than the younger kids.

67
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.199
And the older kids can like, you know, walk to

68
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.800
the you know, the United Dairy farmers down the road

69
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.439
and get candy whenever they want. But these kids, I mean,

70
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:10.159
when you're four, you're basically a prisoner. So so this

71
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.159
is this is a small reprieve for you.

72
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:17.920
Yeah, but no it was.

73
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.800
It was a really nice Halloween. We got at least

74
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:22.879
a I would say, about one hundred and forty hundred

75
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:25.120
and fifty kids. Wow, it could have been a little

76
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:27.839
bit more. I mean I try to kind of count,

77
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.519
but it's hard. The reen camera makes it a lot easier.

78
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:34.439
So and this year we went a little kinder. We

79
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:37.920
only made one kid like so afraid that they wouldn't

80
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:39.879
walk up to the door at all, even when we

81
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:40.759
offered the candy.

82
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.480
Oh come on, I mean that's nothing though, because I

83
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.040
also made some kids so afraid they wouldn't walk up

84
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.879
to the door. And I wasn't even doing anything.

85
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.920
And let the record show you weren't wearing a costume either.

86
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:55.279
No, I was just I just went outside and I

87
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:56.720
was like, hey, do you want some candy? And the

88
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.439
kid was like, no, I don't want to go over there.

89
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:07.000
Well, you know, in some ways, you do fill that

90
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:10.560
like really stereotypical and kind of racist depiction of a witch.

91
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:18.759
Oh oh that's second. Oh that's the the knowing. Oh yeah,

92
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.160
it's okay. One time I had to explain to a

93
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.439
friend how you can love a Christmas Carol but also

94
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.959
accept that Ebenezer Scrooge's description is extremely problematic.

95
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:27.639
M M.

96
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:34.199
A spoiler alert. He's a Jew if you if you

97
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:37.360
look at if you read his description in the book,

98
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.120
and then especially see his description or the way he's

99
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.399
depicted in plays and stuff, he's just like a caricature

100
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.879
of a Jewish person from that time period, like not

101
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:51.279
a nice one. You know, he's greedy, he has a

102
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:54.319
big nose. He uh, he doesn't, he doesn't. He makes

103
00:05:54.360 --> 00:06:00.360
you work on Christmas. Eh. Still a good story, but eh, anyway, Uh,

104
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:05.120
it's just the reality. I'm just pointing out something that

105
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:10.920
is unfortunately true. So I mean, it's true that the

106
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.519
story did that, not that that's the way Jewish people are.

107
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:15.879
Oh okay, sure.

108
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.720
Great, now you don't believe me, okay, fine, no, no, no,

109
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:25.800
but no. It was a good Halloween season. We released

110
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.600
our thirty one weekly Spookies in thirty one days and

111
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:33.759
it was a roaring success. Lots of folks are still

112
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:36.399
with us through November, which is really cool to have

113
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.240
a lot of new listeners who've decided they want to

114
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:43.639
stick around for more scary stories and weird talking shows

115
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.680
and stuff like that. So I'm very happy with that.

116
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:52.279
Most exhausting month possibly of my entire life. Wow, well

117
00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:55.120
I was moving Well I wasn't. I was moving Rachel in,

118
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:59.839
which is about half the stress of you know, moving

119
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.199
out is just like moving things around and changing things

120
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:07.000
and reorganizing. So I did that at the same time

121
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:10.079
I was doing all of those episodes. Uh, there was

122
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.240
there were only I think maybe five days in October

123
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:18.399
that I wasn't recording a podcast, maybe five total days

124
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:20.160
in that month that I didn't record apart, it might

125
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:22.360
be less than that. I'm trying to be trying to

126
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.079
be liberal with it, so I don't you know, I

127
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:28.199
don't want to overestimate or you know, it might have

128
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:32.560
only been three if I'm honest. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it

129
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:35.000
was a it was a hell of a time. So

130
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:39.279
but but no, it was a it was a good October.

131
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:42.199
We didn't have the all night horror movie marathon in

132
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.240
town this year for the first time in twenty some years,

133
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:48.560
which was kind of a bummer. But I had a

134
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:52.759
good time, handed out lots of candy. I what did

135
00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:56.720
I dress as? I can't even remember what I dressed. Oh,

136
00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.720
I was dressed as a psycho Santa. Yeah, yeah, which

137
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:01.000
was a really fun costume.

138
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:01.959
Cool glad.

139
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.600
I just bought a out of seasoned Santa suit and

140
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:09.319
made it dirty and bloody and the kids were a

141
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:10.199
little afraid.

142
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:14.040
Yeah, yeah, you're your rooming there there. Yeah.

143
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:16.079
And I had a big I had a fake axe,

144
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.120
so it answered the door. And when the kids will

145
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:21.639
go trick or treat, I'd look at him and go

146
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:28.480
naughty or nice. So it was a very it's very fun.

147
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.480
Oh. I had this kid who was like trying to

148
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.200
be like fun and he was. He had like a

149
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:36.840
backpack that he was using as his his bag for candy.

150
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.440
And he's like, okay, so we're gonna play a game.

151
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:43.639
I will I will have my bag open, right, and

152
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.360
you throw the candy and if you get it in

153
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.159
the bag, I'll give it back to you. But if

154
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:51.240
you miss, then I get to keep the candy. And

155
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:54.240
I was like okay, And so I did it and

156
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:55.759
I just got them all in and I was like

157
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:57.879
it's okay, it's okay to just keep them.

158
00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:00.559
And leave mans game.

159
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.639
It was not hard. He was like he was like

160
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:04.840
three feet away from me.

161
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.960
Yeah. My response would be, you know the point of

162
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:11.639
this whole thing is for you to keep to.

163
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.200
Take candy, right, Like candy.

164
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.399
Yeah, like if anything, once you get to a certain

165
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:18.879
age as an adult, you're very frustrated if there's a

166
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:21.840
lot of Halloween candy left over, because you're like like

167
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:25.320
a big bowl of Halloween candy. It's like I like sweets.

168
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:27.440
I like to eat. I'm never like, how am I

169
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:30.240
gonna eat all that? Even in a year. I'm probably

170
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.000
not gonna eat that much candy in my living room.

171
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:35.840
Yeah, you know it's.

172
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.120
I mean, that's what my dentist says. He's like, I

173
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:40.960
want to boat. You need to eat more candy.

174
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:42.679
Yeah.

175
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.360
Oh, and before we go to break and then get

176
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.240
into the spooky news, I am very excited because today

177
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:53.559
as we record this, I am waiting on a very

178
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:58.039
special package in the mail, yeah, which will arrive today

179
00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:02.120
according to the Post Service, which means there's a forty

180
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:04.879
eight percent chance it's gonna come today since it says

181
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:07.120
it's out for delivery. I love when they put like

182
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:12.279
delivery attempted. No one home, and I'm like I was home. Also,

183
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:15.159
the ring camera never showed anyone walking up to my

184
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.240
door or a or a What was the one time

185
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.919
it said delivery attempted? Business closed? And I was like

186
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:25.519
it's my house. Yeah, but then the ups comes in clutch.

187
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:28.200
I ordered a brand new monitor and I missed them

188
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.799
by ten minutes, and when I arrived there was a

189
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.639
notice on my door. I was like, god, I ah.

190
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:35.120
And then I look at it just as left at

191
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.840
back door and I went around my backyard opened up

192
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:39.120
the Yeah. I was just sitting in my back and

193
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:42.720
I was like, thank you. I really really wanted that today.

194
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:44.799
Yeah.

195
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:46.639
It was nice of him because they freaking shipped it

196
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:48.639
in like just a monitor box, So it just was

197
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:50.759
a box with a handle that said you know, Dell

198
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:53.000
Ultra Sharpe thirty two inch monitor. And I was like,

199
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:56.679
oh cool, that's not I mean, my neighborhood's pretty safe.

200
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:59.159
I would honestly be shocked if someone had the goal

201
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:01.080
to walk up and star feel something off my porch.

202
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:02.159
Yeah.

203
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:04.919
But still it's like, do you want to tell them, Hey,

204
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:06.600
this is expensive and really cool.

205
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:08.120
You should take it.

206
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:12.200
Yeah, it should just say on it too, like and lightweight,

207
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:16.720
easy to stow in cars, you know, yes, but uh no.

208
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:18.879
But what I'm waiting on that I'm really excited about

209
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:23.399
is I ordered the overseas edition of the new Blair

210
00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:27.679
Witch Project Blu Ray. Oh okay, you've seen the Blair

211
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:30.159
Witch Project, right yeah? Are you a fan or are

212
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:30.720
you a hater?

213
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:32.399
I think it was fine.

214
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:35.279
I really loved it. I saw in the theater when

215
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:37.039
I was a kid and it scared the ever loving

216
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:37.679
shit out of me.

217
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:38.919
Yeah.

218
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.600
Well, apparently when the film was completed and purchased by

219
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:46.399
at the time I believe it was Artisan was the

220
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:50.519
company that Licenser that bought it. They had the film

221
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:52.279
because it was shot on sixteen millimeter film and it

222
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:55.320
was shot on Super eight or a high video. They

223
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:59.399
had a film print created that combined the two right, okay, Well,

224
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:02.440
that film print was then used to make the Blu Ray,

225
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:06.399
which means that the Blu Ray was basically a scan

226
00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:10.159
of a film print of a video, so it always

227
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:13.320
looked kind of weird. Yeah, and not very high quality.

228
00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:17.840
Well overseas. I forget the name of the Blu Ray company,

229
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:19.840
but they hied they wanted to do a Blair Rich

230
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:23.519
Project Ultimate Edition. They got the original filmmakers and got

231
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:26.799
the original Hiate tapes and the sixty milimere film and

232
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:29.639
did a scan. So it is the first ever edition

233
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:32.000
of the film approved by the filmmakers.

234
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:32.960
Wow.

235
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:35.960
It looks the way they wanted it to look cool

236
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.960
when they made it cool, And I don't want to

237
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:41.759
like crap on Artisan which is now Lionsgate for like, dude,

238
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:44.120
it's such a badge. At the time, literally, they were like,

239
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:46.559
how the hell do we release this wide in theaters?

240
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.120
It's like mostly shot on videotape. They just didn't know

241
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.039
what to do. This is, you know, nineteen ninety nine,

242
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:54.200
there's video projectors were garbage and there were barely any

243
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:57.440
of them. So I cannot wait to crack it open

244
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:00.679
and then try to get past the rechi encoding so

245
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:04.120
that I can watch it right away. I'm hopeful, but

246
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:06.399
I'm really excited because that's a movie that's I've always

247
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:09.480
found really eerie and fun and scary, and I'm excited

248
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:11.159
to crack it open and watch it in a way

249
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:15.320
for the first time. But yeah, I was gonna talk

250
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:17.200
about that off camera or off mic, and then I

251
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:19.399
was like, oh, yeah, that that actually pertains to the

252
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:23.360
show and it's exciting. But speaking of exciting, we're gonna

253
00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:25.360
go to a quick break and when we get back,

254
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:29.480
we're gonna talk all about the spooky news after this,

255
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:44.240
and we are back and till it's about time for

256
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:47.960
the spooky news.

257
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:49.639
Why why you gotta.

258
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:53.960
I'm trying to time it perfectly and here you are

259
00:13:54.159 --> 00:14:01.600
just messing with you. Oh sorry, that's fine. Well I

260
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:04.840
feel like I would be truly missing out if we

261
00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:08.519
didn't go right. For a Mirror dot co dot uk

262
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:11.799
article that has a headline that made me ask so

263
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:20.399
many questions. Huh yeah, yeah, So the headline is a

264
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:25.840
ghost asked me for a totally inappropriate sex act. What

265
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:29.120
it freaked my boyfriend out?

266
00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:34.080
What I wonder what they consider a totally inappropriate sex act?

267
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:36.960
No, what I want to know is what they consider

268
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:43.279
a totally appropriate sex act for a ghost to ask for? Yeah?

269
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:44.519
I guess me too.

270
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:49.440
The use of a qualifier in this is what throws

271
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:50.360
me completely.

272
00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:52.399
Yeah, Like, if you.

273
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.679
Just said a ghost ask me for a for a

274
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:57.080
sex act, I'd be like, whoa, that's freaky. The fact

275
00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:59.919
that says a totally inappropriate sex sex act makes me go, oh,

276
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.440
so where is the line? I'm very curious where this

277
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:04.080
line is.

278
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:07.039
I hope that they explain because I have a feeling

279
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.840
they're not going to explain what inappropriate sex sex would be.

280
00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:14.679
I mean, that would be expected from mirror dot co

281
00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:19.840
dot UK. A viral ghost hunter claims a spirit made

282
00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:23.480
a creepy sexual demand of her and it freaked her boyfriend.

283
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:25.879
Now you're calling creepy, So what is a not creepy

284
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:27.279
sexual demand?

285
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:32.480
Maybe? I mean, to be fair, maybe all sexual demands

286
00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:34.879
made by ghosts are creepy, because that's kind of that

287
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:35.919
would kind of creepy to me.

288
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:39.960
I would agree. Yeah, It's just there's something weird to

289
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:44.440
me about about qualifying things that are already like bizarre

290
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:48.200
and terrifying. The creepy sexual demand is a little less

291
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:52.639
confusing than calling something totally inappropriate when it's like that

292
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:55.399
would suggest there are appropriate ones. Yeah.

293
00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:56.080
Yeah.

294
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:00.480
Sarah Carter thirty two fell in love with her online

295
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:02.480
follower Lee Steer thirty eight.

296
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:07.759
Oh the ghost no oh man, sorry, I mean unless

297
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:09.279
that's the plot twist in the end.

298
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:09.759
Of the whole thing.

299
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.080
I really hope so me too.

300
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:16.200
And now they hunt down paranormal activity together. The pair

301
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:19.000
initially met at a ghost hunting event led by Lee

302
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:22.399
and his then wife, a fellow paranormal investigator.

303
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:26.799
Oh, hold record, I hope that she's the dead one.

304
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:27.879
That would be cool.

305
00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:29.879
I mean, that would be nice. But I have a

306
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:33.840
feeling that it's more just like he started having an affair. Well,

307
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:35.600
you know, what are you gonna do?

308
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:36.279
Uh?

309
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:39.759
I do like how it refers to her as fell

310
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:42.600
in love with her online follower Lee, But then it

311
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:45.480
says they met at a ghost hunting event Lee was

312
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:49.200
the organizer of. So how I don't think he was

313
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.320
just some follower. It sounds like they were colleagues.

314
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:56.840
Well, it sounds like they met online and then they

315
00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:59.799
got kind of close, and then they met in person

316
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:01.919
first time at this event.

317
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:06.680
Right. Well, here's some coke, here's some cope right here.

318
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:09.759
They started their relationship at the beginning of twenty twenty

319
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:15.240
four after Lee's divorce, right, and now live in Rotherham,

320
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:19.720
South Yorkshire, where they run the Haunted Objects Museum, housing

321
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:26.160
a collection of other worldly objects. Okay, the ghost obsessed

322
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:30.039
couple were visiting Wafttown Hall in Rotherdam when they came

323
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.839
across the creepy spirit and managed to capture evidence of

324
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:40.640
the so called sexual interaction. Sarah was gobsmacked when she

325
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:44.799
heard the randy spirit asking her to suck my blank.

326
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.279
It says blank, what no I want the time?

327
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:51.559
Like fine?

328
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:55.640
And she recorded the creepy ordeal for her huge TikTok

329
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:59.599
following She said Lee had warned her about entities that

330
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:03.880
can be aggressive towards women, but she was left stunned

331
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:06.720
at what she encountered. Man, she would have a real

332
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:09.880
rough time if she played Call of Duty online.

333
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:13.839
Yeah.

334
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:17.039
Quote, when we went to a haunted town hall, we

335
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:19.920
heard that the person who died there was not very

336
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:23.880
nice to women, and spirits can be quite rude, Lee explained.

337
00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:27.279
Our recording picked up a voice saying, suck my dot

338
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:30.839
dot dot. You know it says dot dot dot in.

339
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:34.279
The in the quote literally say dot dot do o

340
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:36.839
t d o t d o t Oh my god,

341
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:39.160
I hate everyone.

342
00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:42.440
We could all hear it a creepy deep voice. It

343
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:47.400
was totally inappropriate. Well, what are you gonna do. Let's

344
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.599
let's tell your social media followers they can get the

345
00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:50.400
ghost fired.

346
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:56.240
Like, yeah, well, I mean you could, right, you could

347
00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:00.160
go to HR for the ghosts.

348
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:02.400
Gr ghost resources.

349
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:06.119
Yeah exactly. Well there's still they were human, so maybe

350
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:07.720
it still is human resource.

351
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:11.880
Oh that's a good point, Sarah added, quote, it was weird.

352
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:15.960
Lee had forewarned me that entities can be aggressive towards women.

353
00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:19.160
I was just asking him normal questions. When it happened,

354
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:21.559
he said a lot of CD things, and I feel

355
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:29.599
really uncomfortable. We got this camera with sensors. We've got

356
00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:32.599
this camera with sensors, and it picked up that there

357
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:36.599
was a figure there bending down and mining sexual actions

358
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:37.200
towards me.

359
00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:42.200
Man, But do I get to see any of this

360
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:43.839
or hear this? EBB?

361
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:48.319
No, there's no video clips on this news page.

362
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:51.480
Why don't Why don't they care about me?

363
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:57.599
I know the sexual position left the couple feeling spooked,

364
00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:00.720
but it's all part of their ghost hunting pas times

365
00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:04.720
they share their experiences on their TikTok account named Ghosts

366
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:08.440
of Britain, amassing millions of followers as they visit haunted

367
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:12.599
venues and share their encounters with creepy apparitions, including in

368
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:13.920
appropriate incidents.

369
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:19.480
So so now we are saying that sexual harassment is

370
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:25.160
part of ghost hunting, right, Yeah, that's that's pretty rough.

371
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:29.119
Well, it's it's called ghost hunting, not ghost hanging out

372
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:34.799
and having a drink in an air conditioned space. I mean,

373
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:39.200
you would assume if ghosts were people, and some amount

374
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:43.599
of people are dangerous, that then some amount of ghosts

375
00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:45.079
would be dangerous.

376
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:49.759
That depends on what you think ghosts can do, right, because.

377
00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:52.119
Like, well, I mean, I guess more, what I mean

378
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:54.440
is they would have the mindset of a dangerous person,

379
00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:59.440
not necessarily be literally dangerous, you know, like if they

380
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:03.240
were an asshole when they were alive, then they'd probably

381
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:06.880
be an asshole as a ghost. Sure, Sure, that's what

382
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:09.720
I'm more what I mean, because I mean, clearly, I mean,

383
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:13.240
they're suggesting that the ghosts said suck my blank. It

384
00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:17.720
says blank, I'm reporting the news, and then was miming

385
00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:26.559
sexual acts toward her. I don't even know man. Sarah

386
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:30.119
said her belief in ghosts was reinforced after she's observed

387
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:35.960
a microwave meal inexplicably flipping over while at least house. Huh,

388
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:45.759
I just, I guess observed a microwave meal explicably flipping over.

389
00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:48.640
I think that was when she just realized, like, oh,

390
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:51.440
this divorced guy doesn't know how to cook. She's a

391
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:54.759
great This is going to be bad times. The pairs

392
00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:58.200
say that most days they witness objects flying around the room,

393
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:02.799
doors rattling, and CCTV cameras moving by themselves in their

394
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:07.200
haunted museum, So it's literally a museum which is haunted.

395
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:08.160
Yeah.

396
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.880
Yeah, quote, it's weird to say, but it's important to

397
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:14.759
me that my partner, that a partner believes in the paranormal,

398
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.960
because it's a huge part of my life. Lee shared clearly.

399
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:21.559
Yeah.

400
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:25.000
He has since dedicated his entire life to exploring and

401
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:28.599
looking for the afterlife, saying he can't see himself ever stopping.

402
00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:31.000
The pair met over their shared interest in the paranormal

403
00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:34.640
world and enjoyed ghost hunting expeditions together. One of Sarah's

404
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:38.359
most memorable supernatural encounters occurred early in their relationship. She

405
00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:40.319
stayed at Lee's house and claimed to have seen a

406
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:45.400
ready meal packet mysteriously flip over. She explained, quote, we

407
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:47.920
had just returned from an investigation and we're having a

408
00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:50.720
microwave meal. I saw the tray it comes in flip

409
00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:54.200
over completely one hundred and eighty degrees and turn upside down.

410
00:22:54.759 --> 00:22:58.160
There was no mess, mess, It was just perfectly turned

411
00:22:58.519 --> 00:23:00.279
and there was no one else around.

412
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:05.359
Wait if it flipped over one hundred and eighty degrees,

413
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:07.759
so it's upside down, now, what do you mean there's

414
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:09.559
no mess?

415
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:14.000
Yeah, that's uh yeah, I guess she's claiming it flipped

416
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:17.839
so quickly that like gravity just held the stuff in.

417
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:19.799
Okay, but it's upside down now, so.

418
00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:21.759
Well, I'm sure once you pick it up, it's gonna

419
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:25.519
pour everywhere. Yeah yeah, Yeah, that's actually a pretty solid prank.

420
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:27.880
Good one goes stick to that instead of telling people

421
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:31.000
to suck your blank or your dot dot dot.

422
00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:34.480
Uh.

423
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:37.200
Lee has been fascinated by the paranormal world since he

424
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:39.400
was fourteen years old, and it stemmed from the moment

425
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:42.119
he believes he witnessed objects moving around in his bedroom.

426
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:45.000
At their Spooky Museum, the pair of reports seeing objects

427
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:48.039
move regularly and hearing voices. They believe this is linked

428
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:51.839
to newly acquired haunted artifacts, such as a window frame

429
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:55.000
from the Amityville Horror House in New York, infamous for

430
00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:59.119
a nineteen seventy four family murder and paranormal claims. Quote.

431
00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:02.440
We've got relics from Alistair Crowley's house. He was a

432
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:06.200
very famous occultist, and since his conjuring lamp appeared in

433
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:09.519
the museum, we've noticed activity ramping up, with cameras moving.

434
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:10.759
Uh.

435
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:13.759
There's a very dark, horrible energy and things have started

436
00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:16.880
happening all over the house, Sarah said one evening the

437
00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:18.960
door was locked and it sounded like someone was trying

438
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:22.000
to open it, but no one was outside. It was terrifying.

439
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:25.000
Things like this still make me jump. But Lee is

440
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:28.000
more inquisitive and wants to investigate. Well, yeah, because he's

441
00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:32.640
not being sexually harassed exactly. I'm sorry, spectraally harassed.

442
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:33.400
There you go.

443
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:35.000
Oh man, that's the funniest time we're gonna be. We

444
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:37.680
should just end the show right now. That's it. Okay,

445
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:40.079
have a great one. Everybody will see you in December.

446
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:48.519
No spectual spectral harassment. Oh no, Well, we're gonna take

447
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:51.119
a quick break and we'll be back with even more

448
00:24:51.480 --> 00:25:06.720
spooky news. And we are back talking all about spooky news.

449
00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:13.200
But before we get to the next story, Cell, what like, what.

450
00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:14.920
How?

451
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:17.799
What's the least creepy thing a ghost could say if

452
00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:18.839
it was like coming on to you?

453
00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:23.160
Oh my god, I don't know. I would think anything

454
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:25.319
a ghost could say that was coming on to me

455
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:28.440
would be really upsetting for me. Anything.

456
00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:33.640
It's just like, oh, you look so pretty when you smile, Like.

457
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:38.279
What the fuck is your problem? No?

458
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:43.519
No, oh, do you come here often?

459
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:54.160
I live here so not really, I don't know, are.

460
00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:57.799
Your legs tired because you've been running through my mind

461
00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:05.240
all night. No, no, okay, I just wanted to make sure.

462
00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:06.799
I want to see if we can come up with

463
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:13.240
any appropriate advances from a ghost. Sorry, this shouldn't be

464
00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:13.799
this funny.

465
00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:20.079
I guess if they complimented me on something that wasn't physical,

466
00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:26.279
they were like, oh, I really liked how you was

467
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.240
drawing that picture.

468
00:26:28.839 --> 00:26:34.400
Drawing that thing. I'm you have a beautiful singing voice.

469
00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:39.640
Yeah, oh, thank you so much. I'm really concerned about this.

470
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:42.519
I will never sing in this house again.

471
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:48.160
All right, Well this next article, oh, by the way, chell,

472
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:50.480
I didn't tell you what it started to show what

473
00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:53.039
this month's topic is going to be. In case you

474
00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:59.440
were curious, Okay, I found a list of Christmas ghost stories,

475
00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:04.680
famous ghost stories that are revolving around Christmas. I thought

476
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:07.079
they'd be fun to kind of go through. I was

477
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:09.160
going to try and find a Thanksgiving kind of thing.

478
00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:11.640
But we're actually not going to be talking everybody until

479
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:15.079
right before New Year's Eve again, so I was like, yeah,

480
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:19.200
let's do Christmas now. Okay. But anyway, this story comes

481
00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:23.000
from the Huffington Post. The headline is Abe Lincoln wax

482
00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:30.480
Statues head melts off, and of course there are jokes. Yeah.

483
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:33.720
Literally a wax replica of the Abraham Lincoln Memorial. It's

484
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:37.880
had melted off, honest abe was no match for a

485
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:42.680
DC heat wave. A six foot tall wax replica of

486
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:46.279
the sixteenth President created by artists Sandy Williams. The fourth

487
00:27:46.920 --> 00:27:52.519
was installed in February on on in On in Northwest Washington.

488
00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:58.440
Great job, huff Post. The Washington Post reports, although Williams

489
00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:01.000
told New York Magazine that the public art piece was

490
00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:05.559
always meant to melt, it was installed under shady trees

491
00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:10.039
so it could survive the summer. For the Post, but.

492
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:13.880
Thanks to sorry, then, when was it supposed to melt?

493
00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:16.960
Well, they assumed it would, but they were trying to

494
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:17.480
prevent it.

495
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:20.440
Okay, fine, whatever, But thanks.

496
00:28:20.119 --> 00:28:23.359
To the temperature topping one hundred degrees over the weekend,

497
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:27.480
Lincoln's head got a little gooey for too guy for comfort,

498
00:28:28.759 --> 00:28:32.119
so it was removed and stored for safe keeping, with

499
00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:36.480
plans to reattach it. On Tuesday, the Post reported this

500
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:40.440
is the second Lincoln candle Williams has crafted. The first

501
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:44.039
wax replica had one hundred wicks which were meant to

502
00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:47.079
be lit just not all at once, Williams told The

503
00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:50.039
New York magazine. It was installed at the same location

504
00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:52.880
in September of twenty twenty three, but was melted by

505
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:56.240
some wily local residents.

506
00:28:56.559 --> 00:29:00.000
Yeah yeah, oh no, you shouldn't. You shouldn't light them

507
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:02.000
all the ones. Well they're right there though.

508
00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:10.519
Yeah no, these kids lighting Lincoln emancipate this. Oh it's

509
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:15.720
just a candle, let's leave. Uh. People found the sculpture

510
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:18.680
without any sort of prompt, Williams told New York Magazine.

511
00:29:19.079 --> 00:29:22.119
They just noticed it had wicks. Then they lit all

512
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:25.319
the wicks and left it melting for days. So when

513
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:28.319
we came back to have the unveiling, it was already

514
00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:29.079
half melted.

515
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:33.000
And and see, I really like that. That's what I would do.

516
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:37.079
Like it has wicks, you could.

517
00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:38.519
Just put up a sign that says please do not

518
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:41.599
light like unveiling, and then put like on the like

519
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:45.200
unveiling on this date or something else. Well like yeah,

520
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:48.759
yeah yeah, because then whoever lights it is like being

521
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:51.119
a real jerk as opposed to just an average like

522
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:52.720
why would you light this?

523
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:55.799
But I mean it has wis Yeah, it's a candle.

524
00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:58.960
Why isn't it lit? We should light it just leave

525
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:01.279
it going for or whatever.

526
00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:04.559
It's great because when you look at the statue, the

527
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:07.519
only part of it that isn't like really leaning on

528
00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:09.559
the base is its head. So there are all these

529
00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:12.319
pictures of the head like it like leading these different

530
00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:15.160
ways because it's like the neck is too skinny. It's

531
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:20.039
very funny. Even before Wax Lincoln number two's head melted off,

532
00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:23.960
the statue began to droop backwards, making it appear like

533
00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:28.720
the former president was exhausted and slouching back in his seat.

534
00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:33.400
Journalist Kirk A. Battow snapped a shot of Abe in

535
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:36.640
this position and posted it on x formerly Twitter on Sunday.

536
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:39.440
People quickly started making jokes, and some of them were

537
00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:44.079
pretty dirty. I like this comment. It's just Lincoln looking

538
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:46.400
like he's like drunken passed out the comic just as

539
00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:50.880
me two wax Lincoln, Me too. Another says how your

540
00:30:50.880 --> 00:30:56.319
email finds me? Uh, maybe a wax Lincoln sculpture wasn't

541
00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:58.559
the best idea during DC's first week of summer. That's

542
00:30:58.559 --> 00:31:04.559
not that funny, Just like old Abe to wax eloquently,

543
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:05.759
that's a good one.

544
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:08.319
Yeah, it's okay.

545
00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:13.079
He was known for being a good talker. Yes, yes,

546
00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:21.160
this lady commented, Abe getting that good? Oh lord, is

547
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:23.799
it live or is it memory? X? That's pretty good.

548
00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:33.200
That old commercial somebody posted historically accurate and oh man,

549
00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:35.599
oh this is a good one. Even our monuments are

550
00:31:35.640 --> 00:31:46.039
exhausted by our politics. That's a pretty good one. Yeah.

551
00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:51.599
Other than that, how was the statue Missus Lincoln? Do

552
00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:52.279
you know that joke?

553
00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:54.160
Maybe?

554
00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:57.640
Oh, it's just that's a joke when things go really bad,

555
00:31:57.640 --> 00:31:59.200
As you say, well, other than that, how is the

556
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:00.759
play Missus Lincoln? Yeah?

557
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:01.640
Yeah, I do know that.

558
00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:06.920
Yeah. Yeah, man, these comments are all right, They're not

559
00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:11.720
fire like they were making me think it was. Jeez.

560
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:16.480
Williams said that the piece was initially intended to draw

561
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:19.960
attention to the Civil War era and its aftermath. Quote.

562
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:23.200
For this work, we chose Garrison Elementary School because it

563
00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:25.960
sits on top of Camp Barker, which was a Civil

564
00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:29.480
War era freedman's community that we often don't learn about.

565
00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:33.200
Williams told New York Magazine. Quote, I think we learned

566
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:35.720
this history that Lincoln freed the slaves, but we aren't

567
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:39.279
taught what happened to the early freed communities. The injustices

568
00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:42.799
of that period of reconstruction and the concept of reparations.

569
00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:46.240
But the artist was also open to quote wherever people

570
00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:49.359
take their interpretations of the piece, because that is what

571
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:51.680
public artwork is about.

572
00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:54.039
Quote.

573
00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:57.000
My methodology around the work is that I put love

574
00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:59.519
into making these projects and present them as a sort

575
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:02.359
of gift to the community. I'm hands off on the

576
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:06.119
authorship of its form or its reading. William said. I

577
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:08.920
thought one comment was like, this is me after I

578
00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:10.920
get home from work, or this is me in the

579
00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:12.960
zoom meeting. That could have been an email. I think

580
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:15.359
it's funny the way an image can be so viral

581
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:19.799
and have so many different meme interpretations. Oh, that artist

582
00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:21.279
seems like somebody I'd like to hang out with.

583
00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:22.839
Yeah, he seems like a nice guy.

584
00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:29.559
Good attitude. So well, slumpy Lincoln statue, we kind of

585
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:33.119
salute you. So we're going to take a quick break

586
00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:35.240
and then we're going to talk about something creepy that's

587
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:48.119
going on offshore in California right after this welcome back.

588
00:33:48.839 --> 00:33:51.279
Now it's time to take a trip to your favorite place.

589
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:55.960
Michelle npr Oh, okay, that's what were you going to say.

590
00:33:56.079 --> 00:33:57.839
I don't know, like Pittsburgh or something.

591
00:33:58.279 --> 00:33:59.440
I like Pittsburgh.

592
00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:02.920
Yeah, huh, you could move there if you just believed.

593
00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:06.559
I don't, though I know it makes me sad.

594
00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:12.360
The headline says, or fish keep washing ashore in California.

595
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:16.199
Folklore suggests that could be a bad omen.

596
00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:21.440
Hmmm, I guess well.

597
00:34:21.239 --> 00:34:24.119
It says here a deep sea creature steeped in folklore

598
00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:28.320
has once again washed ashore in California. On November sixth,

599
00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:33.199
the researcher on an in Sinatas and Sinatas Beach spotted

600
00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:36.360
an oar fish measuring nine to ten feet long. The

601
00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:39.400
fish typically swims at depths of three thousand or three

602
00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:43.000
hundred two three thousand feet and are rarely seen on

603
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:45.840
the surface. Yet it was the third time one has

604
00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:51.360
appeared in southern California since August. Hmm, I'll show you.

605
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:54.559
I'll show you image of it. So it's like a

606
00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:57.039
very very long fish with like kind of like tentaclely

607
00:34:57.280 --> 00:35:02.039
little like whisker things. Would you say it's cute?

608
00:35:03.199 --> 00:35:05.199
I was going to except it's dead.

609
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:12.639
Oh wow, that's harsh and very judgmental. Sorry, we'll learn

610
00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:17.920
to forgive you. Let's see. They have been associated with

611
00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:22.519
bad omens, according to English language accounts, of Japanese folklore.

612
00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:27.800
Why why the sigh on that?

613
00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:30.280
I don't know, because I was getting ready to get

614
00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:33.119
annoyed with that because like, can you imagine if you

615
00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:35.239
just came somewhere and they were like, oh, it's a

616
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:38.440
bad omen because you exist, like that's mean. But then

617
00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:40.400
you said Japanese and then I was like, well, I

618
00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:43.079
like Japanese things, and I got confused.

619
00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:46.800
I mean, for the record, I am Hispanic in America,

620
00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:49.920
and when I was younger, I feel like when my

621
00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:52.760
family moved into neighborhoods, it was a bad omen to

622
00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:53.519
some people.

623
00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:56.920
Okay, so that's what I'm saying. It's not good. I

624
00:35:57.000 --> 00:35:59.880
don't want to feel like a bad omen to be

625
00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:06.440
because they exist. Oh sorry, sorry, Oh so I know

626
00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:08.840
I was gonna say, see, you understand the plight of

627
00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:10.960
this fish. I do.

628
00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:13.880
I just remember moving into neighborhoods. It would just be

629
00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:17.039
like they'd see my Mexican stepdad and be like h

630
00:36:17.079 --> 00:36:18.559
and then they see my white mom would be.

631
00:36:18.440 --> 00:36:21.320
Like ah, it's worse.

632
00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:22.960
Why can't they why?

633
00:36:23.159 --> 00:36:23.480
Why?

634
00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:26.440
I mean, this is the you know, nineties, the early nineties,

635
00:36:26.599 --> 00:36:31.400
very fun time. The fish, which can grow up to

636
00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:36.119
thirty feet in length. And feeds on. Krill have typically

637
00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:40.320
washed up on beaches when injured or disoriented, according to scientists,

638
00:36:42.119 --> 00:36:46.519
I know, right, yeah, The current group of oarfish washing

639
00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:49.599
ashore quote may have to do with changes in ocean

640
00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:52.920
conditions and increased numbers of oar fish off our coast.

641
00:36:53.559 --> 00:36:55.840
You think it might be that there are more if

642
00:36:55.880 --> 00:36:59.719
you're seeing more of them. Sorry, I know that's like that.

643
00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:01.639
They're their job is to answer it, but that just

644
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:04.519
seems really obvious. I think we're seeing more or fish

645
00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:06.320
because there are more or fish.

646
00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:09.440
Well, I mean, considering we're seeing them in an area

647
00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:15.320
of depth which is not on land. I don't know.

648
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:17.480
That could mean that there's less or fish because they're

649
00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:20.239
all dying out because they can't survive in their place.

650
00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:21.559
So I don't know.

651
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:27.239
That could be Ben Frable, manager of the Script's Oceanography

652
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:31.159
Marine Vertebrate Collection that you See San Diego, said in

653
00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:34.679
a statement. Many researchers have suggested this as to why

654
00:37:34.719 --> 00:37:37.880
deep water fish strand on beaches. Sometimes it may be

655
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:41.000
linked to broader shifts such as El Nino or and

656
00:37:41.159 --> 00:37:44.079
La Nina cycles, but this is not always the case,

657
00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:47.079
he said, adding that many variables could be the cause.

658
00:37:48.840 --> 00:37:52.239
The previous fish were discovered in Huntington Beach in September

659
00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:56.639
and in La Jola in August. According to scripts, before

660
00:37:56.679 --> 00:38:00.480
August discovery, scientists had only recorded nineteen or fish that

661
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:04.880
had washed up on the California coast since nineteen oh one. Wow,

662
00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:09.599
so that's a lot more mm hmm. Or fish have

663
00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:13.800
been found around the globe, but one particular country's history

664
00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:16.920
with the fish has gathered the most attention. Japan.

665
00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:20.480
I know, accord, have you heard.

666
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:20.920
Of these before?

667
00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:25.239
No, we already talked about it being Yeah.

668
00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:26.719
You're just you're a Japanophile. So I wanted to make

669
00:38:26.760 --> 00:38:31.199
sure that. According to some media reports, or fish have

670
00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:35.599
been associated in Japanese folklore with prophecies of doom, in

671
00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:40.760
particular earthquakes. H Well, then it makes sense for them

672
00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:44.920
to be in California. Mm hmm, although it be weird

673
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:48.360
if it was like they were in Minnesota. It was

674
00:38:48.480 --> 00:38:51.360
or fish in Minnesota, there must be an earthquake coming.

675
00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:53.679
How did they get here? Eh?

676
00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:58.159
Uber, Yeah, they just come dead over. They just let

677
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:00.440
them out on this street.

678
00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:04.119
They just dropped the dificials. Make sure to rate five stars.

679
00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:11.199
Thank you. Duisla researchers in Japan looked into this in

680
00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:16.000
twenty nineteen. Quote in Japan folklore says that uncommon appearances

681
00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:19.559
of deep sea fish are an earthquake precursor. If this

682
00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:22.760
folklore is to be proven true, the appearance of deep

683
00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:26.840
sea fish could be useful information for disaster mitigation. A

684
00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:30.679
group from the Tokai Universe University and the University of

685
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:36.840
Shinzuako Shinzuaka wrote, but they were scoured news reports. But

686
00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:39.599
they scoured news reports of deep sea fish washing up

687
00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:42.239
and determined that there wasn't much of a relationship between

688
00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:46.840
those sightings and earthquakes. Oh well, it was fun while

689
00:39:46.840 --> 00:39:51.800
it lasted. Yeah, old wives tales. Some accounts say the

690
00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:55.599
oar fish were known in centuries past as ryugu no sukai,

691
00:39:56.559 --> 00:40:01.840
roughly translating to a messenger from the dragon Palace. That

692
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:04.159
sounds first of all, I would love to eat at

693
00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:06.840
Dragon Palace. That sounds like they probably have really good food.

694
00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:10.119
It does number one. Yeah.

695
00:40:10.519 --> 00:40:15.280
But Yoshiko okumar and Yama, a professor of Japanese studies

696
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:18.800
at the University of Hawaii at Hilo, pointed to a

697
00:40:18.880 --> 00:40:21.639
Japanese fairy tale with source text dating back to the

698
00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:24.519
eighth century It tells the story of a fisherman named

699
00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:30.239
Ershami or Ashima Taro, who, in return for saving a turtle,

700
00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:33.000
is taken to the underwater palace of the Dragon king

701
00:40:33.320 --> 00:40:38.480
or yugojo. H Does that make sense to you?

702
00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:39.440
Sure?

703
00:40:41.000 --> 00:40:46.480
You're the Japanese expert? Okay quote. In Japan, several different

704
00:40:46.519 --> 00:40:49.159
sea creatures have been called the messenger of the Dragon Palace.

705
00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:52.840
The list includes eels and turtles. She said in an email,

706
00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:56.400
adding or fish to that list was plausible. Anything mysterious

707
00:40:56.400 --> 00:40:59.039
from the sea can be imagined as such, right, but

708
00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:02.000
she said she was unable to immediately verify it with

709
00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:06.559
source material. A database of Japanese folklore describes for Yugo

710
00:41:06.679 --> 00:41:10.800
no sukai as large fish with human heads, horns, long hair,

711
00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:15.280
and sometimes beards. Huh, I guess it depends on what's

712
00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:16.239
in style at the time.

713
00:41:16.440 --> 00:41:19.360
Yeah, yeah, exactly. I mean, if they're going to have hair, yes.

714
00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:24.320
You gotta style it. Yeah, you gotta keep it frigginy fresh.

715
00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:27.159
In a retelling of a legend on the folklore database,

716
00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:29.559
the creatures were a bit of a mixed bag. They

717
00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:32.800
foretold of death and disease, but said people would be saved,

718
00:41:32.840 --> 00:41:35.960
so long as they quote hear my message.

719
00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:40.800
Okay, so it's like, uh, it's it's a warning, but

720
00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:44.719
it's like it's like, if you follow my warning, it's

721
00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:45.960
good warning.

722
00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:48.400
Yeah yeah, if you listen, if you take heed.

723
00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:49.119
Yeah.

724
00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:52.760
Now, I feel like California has been told for a

725
00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:55.280
very long time everything is going to go horribly wrong

726
00:41:55.559 --> 00:41:58.039
in every way, and they just like chill.

727
00:41:58.760 --> 00:42:04.159
But what are they supposed to do exactly anything? Well,

728
00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:07.159
I mean besides like leave, what are they supposed to do?

729
00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:09.920
I mean, they could go to northern California where it's better.

730
00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:13.519
M I don't know.

731
00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:16.159
I mean, I'm not one hundred percent sure either. I

732
00:42:16.199 --> 00:42:17.800
just know that it's like, you have a place with

733
00:42:17.880 --> 00:42:24.519
constant wildfires, constant earthquakes, constant compared to like Ohio, where

734
00:42:24.519 --> 00:42:28.159
we have had none. We actually are on a fault line.

735
00:42:28.199 --> 00:42:29.840
It's just been a really long time since we've had

736
00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:33.159
an earthquake, are you guys? You guys aren't on a

737
00:42:33.159 --> 00:42:33.800
fault line, are you?

738
00:42:34.559 --> 00:42:36.000
I don't think so?

739
00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:43.840
Lazy So, but anyway, so that's the story of the

740
00:42:44.679 --> 00:42:49.239
Messenger of from the Dragon Palace worn in California that

741
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:51.480
gas prices are probably gonna go up or something. Who

742
00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:56.599
knows high. Yeah, but we're gonna take a quick break

743
00:42:56.639 --> 00:42:59.159
and when we get back, we're gonna talk about a giraffe.

744
00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:01.559
We have a lot of animal stories this week boo

745
00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:06.880
or this month and boo. Yeah, why do you hate animals?

746
00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:09.800
Oh no, I don't really like giraffes. I think they're weird.

747
00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:12.599
Oh well, you're gonna like them a lot less when

748
00:43:12.639 --> 00:43:15.440
we get done reading this story, we'll be right back.

749
00:43:23.519 --> 00:43:26.960
And we are back with even more spooky news. And

750
00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:29.719
something must be in the water, because we have a

751
00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:33.960
lot of animal stories today, and this one features one

752
00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:38.000
of Michelle's least, in her opinion, the least trustworthy animals

753
00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:41.280
on earth, the giraffe.

754
00:43:42.199 --> 00:43:45.039
I don't know why they got all tall like that, though,

755
00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:46.599
Like it.

756
00:43:46.599 --> 00:43:51.119
Seems mean, well, it's to eat food from high trees.

757
00:43:51.320 --> 00:43:53.679
But they don't get it down for other animals, right,

758
00:43:53.920 --> 00:43:55.519
they just eat it themselves.

759
00:43:56.000 --> 00:43:58.320
Yeah, well, I mean but they But then other giraffes

760
00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:00.719
can also eat it if they can. If they want

761
00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:02.199
to eat it, they could either grow long neck or

762
00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:02.920
learn to climb.

763
00:44:03.800 --> 00:44:05.639
That seems like that's going to take too long.

764
00:44:06.119 --> 00:44:09.519
Well, the girafts didn't, but that was a long time ago.

765
00:44:10.599 --> 00:44:15.639
Perhaps It's like, if you figured out calculus, you wouldn't

766
00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:18.280
tell other people. I can't help you with this calculus

767
00:44:18.320 --> 00:44:20.400
problem because you have to figure it out by yourself.

768
00:44:20.480 --> 00:44:21.679
I think, I don't know.

769
00:44:21.840 --> 00:44:24.679
Uh do you? Is that an open invitation for people

770
00:44:24.679 --> 00:44:26.639
to email you and ask calculus questions?

771
00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:29.599
No, that's an open invitation for me to ask other

772
00:44:29.639 --> 00:44:30.760
people calculus.

773
00:44:32.760 --> 00:44:35.400
I'm applauding that that was that solid point. Do you

774
00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:38.519
remember when well, I'm sure you do. When you had

775
00:44:38.519 --> 00:44:42.559
that apartment in West Philly. Your shower had like a window,

776
00:44:42.599 --> 00:44:47.239
but it was way high. Every time I would take

777
00:44:47.280 --> 00:44:49.599
a shower in there, I just imagined a giraffe popping

778
00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:52.679
its head into going hello. Because it was so I

779
00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:54.960
was like this, why is there a window that high up?

780
00:44:56.119 --> 00:44:58.880
It's because it used to be bigger, but then they

781
00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:01.039
put the shower there, so then they made a small

782
00:45:01.079 --> 00:45:01.880
window instead.

783
00:45:03.519 --> 00:45:05.639
That's like whenever I hear giraffe, I think of that

784
00:45:05.719 --> 00:45:10.199
bathroom mineral department. But this story the headline, this is

785
00:45:10.239 --> 00:45:14.760
from Huffington Post. Giraffe takes Texas toddler to frightening heights

786
00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:21.960
in shock Safari movie. Okay, Glen Rose, Texas, a Texas

787
00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:24.280
family got a brief scare when a nibble from a

788
00:45:24.320 --> 00:45:27.199
giraffe turned a two year old safari visit into an

789
00:45:27.239 --> 00:45:32.960
airborne adventure. Paisley Totin was in the bed of a

790
00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:36.079
pickup truck on June first when her family drove through

791
00:45:36.119 --> 00:45:40.079
the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, where visitors can see exotic

792
00:45:40.119 --> 00:45:44.159
animals such as zebra's giraffes and sable antelope and feed

793
00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:48.480
some of them from their car. Okay, the first miss

794
00:45:48.719 --> 00:45:51.440
I've never been to a drive through wildlife center. But

795
00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:56.000
the first mistake is putting like anybody in the bed

796
00:45:56.039 --> 00:45:56.880
of the vehicle.

797
00:45:57.559 --> 00:46:01.199
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Like have.

798
00:46:01.159 --> 00:46:03.360
You ever heard the stories Because you're from Jersey, you

799
00:46:03.400 --> 00:46:06.400
know about Great Adventure. There used to be a zoo

800
00:46:06.519 --> 00:46:08.440
or a theme park or whatever you want to call it,

801
00:46:08.519 --> 00:46:10.480
called Great Adventure, And one of the things they had

802
00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:15.119
was a drive through monkey habitat and they had to

803
00:46:15.119 --> 00:46:18.320
close it down because for years monkeys were just like

804
00:46:18.480 --> 00:46:20.960
terrorizing people in their cars.

805
00:46:21.320 --> 00:46:25.119
Okay, first of all, there's obviously still Great Adventure.

806
00:46:25.440 --> 00:46:26.320
Oh it's still around.

807
00:46:26.559 --> 00:46:29.480
It's yeah, if you were from the monkey part, I

808
00:46:29.519 --> 00:46:33.360
guess if you if you are on if you're not

809
00:46:33.400 --> 00:46:35.840
from New Jersey, you may not understand because we call

810
00:46:35.880 --> 00:46:38.199
a great Adventure. But it's a six Flags theme park

811
00:46:38.360 --> 00:46:42.840
six Flags, so it's absolutely still there. I actually had

812
00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:45.960
the tallest roller coaster in the world up until like

813
00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:48.719
two weeks ago when they closed it. We don't know why.

814
00:46:48.960 --> 00:46:53.119
Uh they closed that tall one Cope. I don't remember

815
00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:56.320
what it was called. Anyway they did. They did have

816
00:46:56.400 --> 00:46:59.639
like a like a drive through Safari thing that I've

817
00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:02.199
been to. I guess maybe they just got rid of

818
00:47:02.199 --> 00:47:03.039
the monkey exhibit.

819
00:47:03.199 --> 00:47:04.440
They must have just gotten rid of the monkey.

820
00:47:04.519 --> 00:47:06.119
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah.

821
00:47:05.639 --> 00:47:09.400
So, back when I lived in Jersey, I was already

822
00:47:09.400 --> 00:47:11.880
a fan of what it was called pen Radio, was

823
00:47:11.880 --> 00:47:16.079
Pendulutt's radio show on free FM in New York. I

824
00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:17.719
used to listen to in Ohio, but I'd have to

825
00:47:17.760 --> 00:47:20.239
download it, somebody would record it and upload it. When

826
00:47:20.239 --> 00:47:21.840
I moved to Jersey, I would just put it on

827
00:47:21.880 --> 00:47:25.239
my radio because I could get free FM from where

828
00:47:25.239 --> 00:47:27.960
I lived in North Jersey. And every Tuesday they would

829
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:30.920
do Monkey Tuesday, where they would encourage listeners to call

830
00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:36.679
in with their monkey stories. Oh and it was literally

831
00:47:36.719 --> 00:47:39.679
eighty five percent where like so it's the nineteen eighties

832
00:47:39.719 --> 00:47:44.880
and I met great Adventure. They're like yep, like apparently

833
00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:49.039
they stopped doing the monkey exhibit in the nineties, in

834
00:47:49.119 --> 00:47:51.679
the early nineties, but like they said, like they would

835
00:47:51.679 --> 00:47:53.880
be like, does anybody have a story that doesn't involve

836
00:47:53.960 --> 00:47:57.000
New Jersey's Great Adventure, And it'd be like all the

837
00:47:57.039 --> 00:48:00.800
hands would go down, like okay, the monkeys would just

838
00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:03.559
like they said that, like the sign would just get

839
00:48:03.639 --> 00:48:06.840
longer and longer of like what's not allowed, like no

840
00:48:07.039 --> 00:48:11.440
convertible top cars, no this, no this, Yeah, the monkeys

841
00:48:11.480 --> 00:48:17.440
were just terrorizing people. The family had stopped to feed

842
00:48:17.480 --> 00:48:20.440
a giraffe when it grabbed Paisley's shirt with its mouth

843
00:48:20.639 --> 00:48:23.760
and lifted her several feet. Paisley's mother was in the

844
00:48:23.800 --> 00:48:26.800
pickup bed with her and shouted and shouted, prompting the

845
00:48:26.840 --> 00:48:31.000
giraffe to drop the toddler into her arms unhurt. Okay, fine,

846
00:48:31.880 --> 00:48:33.599
I mean at least the mother was with the kid

847
00:48:33.679 --> 00:48:36.119
in the back of the pickup. But I've seen all

848
00:48:36.119 --> 00:48:39.119
these fail videos of like, you know, people getting swarmed

849
00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:43.159
for their treats that like drive through animal shelter things.

850
00:48:44.280 --> 00:48:45.639
I would not want to be in the bed of

851
00:48:45.639 --> 00:48:46.320
the pickup truck.

852
00:48:46.599 --> 00:48:48.800
Yeah, No, that doesn't feel like that would be safe.

853
00:48:49.800 --> 00:48:53.159
Video of the encounter, taken from the car behind, went viral.

854
00:48:53.480 --> 00:48:57.039
The girl's family also shot their own video. Quote Paisley

855
00:48:57.119 --> 00:48:59.119
was holding the bag and the giraffe went to get

856
00:48:59.119 --> 00:49:01.840
the bag, not to get her, but ended up getting

857
00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:04.360
her shirt too and picking her up. Jason Totin, the

858
00:49:04.360 --> 00:49:09.079
girl's father, told television station KWTX, my heart stopped, my

859
00:49:09.119 --> 00:49:13.679
stomach dropped. It scared me. Totin said, yeah, do you

860
00:49:13.760 --> 00:49:15.840
believe that or do you think the giraffe was is

861
00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:18.960
just inherently evil? Oh, because it sounded like you kind

862
00:49:18.960 --> 00:49:19.559
of believe that.

863
00:49:20.840 --> 00:49:24.400
I think that in this case, the giraffe was just

864
00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:29.559
kind of scheming and wanted to freak everyone out because

865
00:49:29.559 --> 00:49:33.880
that's what they do. So that's why it lifted up

866
00:49:33.920 --> 00:49:37.960
the kid, because what they do, because that's what they do.

867
00:49:41.480 --> 00:49:47.880
I mean, fair enough. Oh, I love this. After the encounter,

868
00:49:48.599 --> 00:49:51.039
the family then took the girl to the gift shop

869
00:49:51.079 --> 00:49:52.719
and bought her a toy giraffe.

870
00:49:53.320 --> 00:49:55.760
And she didn't want it because she was terrified of it.

871
00:49:56.519 --> 00:49:58.719
No, she loves it because giraffes are fun.

872
00:49:59.320 --> 00:50:02.559
Oh maybe this was all the ploy to get them

873
00:50:02.599 --> 00:50:04.519
to go buy a toy giraffe.

874
00:50:04.679 --> 00:50:06.320
Maybe that's the move.

875
00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:09.880
Okay, so they're just yeah, so the giraffe is just

876
00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:13.320
in on it with the gift shop and then they

877
00:50:13.400 --> 00:50:15.480
get a cut or something.

878
00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:18.719
The girafts Yeah, get it cut nice?

879
00:50:18.800 --> 00:50:23.679
Yeah, otherwise would they do that? Yeah?

880
00:50:23.960 --> 00:50:28.280
Always those scheming giraffes. Yeah, oh you'll like this last part.

881
00:50:28.679 --> 00:50:31.719
Park rules when the family visited allowed riding in an

882
00:50:31.719 --> 00:50:34.440
open truck bed as long as an adult was riding

883
00:50:34.480 --> 00:50:39.159
with any children. The park on Thursday changed its safety

884
00:50:39.280 --> 00:50:42.920
rules to require everyone to stay inside their vehicles with

885
00:50:43.079 --> 00:50:44.280
doors closed.

886
00:50:46.239 --> 00:50:49.719
I am yeah, I would be really proud if I

887
00:50:49.800 --> 00:50:52.000
was the reason that the park changed the rules.

888
00:50:54.719 --> 00:50:56.559
Has anybody ever changed the rules because of you?

889
00:50:58.440 --> 00:51:01.639
When I used to work one of my last jobs,

890
00:51:01.639 --> 00:51:07.679
when I worked for the company in Stacart, there was

891
00:51:07.719 --> 00:51:11.079
a time where they changed their dress code and literally

892
00:51:11.440 --> 00:51:14.119
me and everyone else in the store thought that we

893
00:51:14.199 --> 00:51:16.639
were the reason that they changed it. Like everyone was

894
00:51:16.639 --> 00:51:19.199
like it was probably me, So we really don't know

895
00:51:19.239 --> 00:51:19.920
who it was.

896
00:51:21.760 --> 00:51:24.320
But if I have been the reason for workplace change

897
00:51:24.360 --> 00:51:28.000
dress code, yeah, that that absolutely happened to me. Yeah,

898
00:51:28.199 --> 00:51:30.360
I remember because I got angry and I was like,

899
00:51:30.400 --> 00:51:32.840
why don't you just ask me to dress differently.

900
00:51:33.480 --> 00:51:36.559
Yeah, yeah, like you're.

901
00:51:36.440 --> 00:51:38.239
Putting out this dress code thing. They also did the

902
00:51:38.239 --> 00:51:42.079
thing where they said no more listening to one earbud

903
00:51:42.280 --> 00:51:45.119
because I would have like one air like it had

904
00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:47.239
phone in while I worked. Oh and they put it

905
00:51:47.239 --> 00:51:48.679
and I was like, and I literally was like, I'm

906
00:51:48.719 --> 00:51:50.320
the only person who does that. You could have just

907
00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:52.760
told me, yeah, you don't want me to yeah, but

908
00:51:52.800 --> 00:51:54.239
then I was. But I was also like, but also

909
00:51:54.280 --> 00:51:56.039
the reason I use one is so I can hear

910
00:51:56.079 --> 00:52:00.599
the phone right, Like, I don't miss any anything. So

911
00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:02.239
then they were like, well you can listen through the

912
00:52:02.239 --> 00:52:04.800
speakers on your computer. I was like, oh, okay, so

913
00:52:05.039 --> 00:52:08.599
I'll just let other people listen to my podcast and

914
00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:10.480
then they'll realize what a loser am because I'm listening

915
00:52:10.559 --> 00:52:13.480
to the combined letters of Thomas Jefferson. That was what

916
00:52:13.559 --> 00:52:15.599
I was listening to at that time. I remember, because

917
00:52:16.239 --> 00:52:18.559
I was I was like, enjoy listening to the combined

918
00:52:18.639 --> 00:52:23.960
letters of Thomas Jefferson. Jerks, Wow, They're fascinating to me

919
00:52:24.119 --> 00:52:30.320
and only me probably, So yeah, it was just a

920
00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:33.360
guy who would read Thomas Jefferson letters. That was the

921
00:52:33.360 --> 00:52:33.880
whole show.

922
00:52:34.679 --> 00:52:36.800
That's pretty good.

923
00:52:36.559 --> 00:52:39.840
For him, I think it was called Letters from Monticello

924
00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:42.760
or something was the name of the podcast. This was

925
00:52:42.800 --> 00:52:46.559
like thirteen fourteen years ago. So but we're going to

926
00:52:46.639 --> 00:52:48.480
take a quick break and then we're gonna come back

927
00:52:48.519 --> 00:52:50.800
with one more piece of spooky news before we jump

928
00:52:50.840 --> 00:52:55.639
into allegedly true paranormal stories of Christmas right after this.

929
00:53:07.119 --> 00:53:11.760
And we are back with one more piece of spooky news,

930
00:53:11.760 --> 00:53:13.440
and this one is a little bit more on the

931
00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:18.199
strange side. It's odd this month the stories were very

932
00:53:18.280 --> 00:53:21.199
light on ghosts, which is surprising because we had all

933
00:53:21.239 --> 00:53:25.039
of October for ghost stories and very little. But luckily

934
00:53:25.039 --> 00:53:27.199
we'll make up for it when we start talking about

935
00:53:27.400 --> 00:53:30.119
allegedly true ghost stories of Christmas, which we'll be getting

936
00:53:30.159 --> 00:53:34.519
to in the next segment. But this story, I thought

937
00:53:34.559 --> 00:53:38.360
you'd appreciate, Michelle, because am I right? And assuming that

938
00:53:38.440 --> 00:53:44.000
you like a good cheese, I guess you don't enjoy cheese.

939
00:53:44.000 --> 00:53:45.159
I thought you were a cheese person.

940
00:53:45.280 --> 00:53:47.960
No, I like cheese, you know, I don't make it

941
00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:49.719
my whole personality or anything.

942
00:53:53.800 --> 00:53:55.840
As you slowly lean down so I can't see your

943
00:53:55.920 --> 00:54:00.199
cheese T shirt you're wearing the lea. Yeah, well, this

944
00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:03.960
story talks about cheese in a way, I never really considered.

945
00:54:04.440 --> 00:54:08.360
Man arrested in United Kingdom cheese heist where impostors stole

946
00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:11.760
three hundred and eighty nine thousand dollars worth of cheddar.

947
00:54:12.440 --> 00:54:19.199
Wow. Yeah, that's probably a lot of cheese.

948
00:54:19.239 --> 00:54:23.599
Yeah, it must be high quality too, Maybe it's just

949
00:54:23.719 --> 00:54:28.000
a lot of it. Authorities in London have arrested a

950
00:54:28.039 --> 00:54:30.719
sixty three year old man in connection with the cheese

951
00:54:30.719 --> 00:54:34.360
heist of twenty twenty four, in which tens of thousands

952
00:54:34.400 --> 00:54:37.280
of pounds of high value cheddar were stolen from a

953
00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:40.079
major distributor. Now do they mean money or do they

954
00:54:40.079 --> 00:54:40.519
mean weight?

955
00:54:42.639 --> 00:54:50.639
I think they Oh, I don't know. Then did they

956
00:54:50.719 --> 00:54:52.360
even know any.

957
00:54:52.239 --> 00:54:54.400
I don't know. I mean, I guess both are true,

958
00:54:55.679 --> 00:54:57.239
so they don't need to qualify it.

959
00:54:57.599 --> 00:54:59.280
I guess because it was.

960
00:54:59.239 --> 00:55:01.800
Tens of thousands pounds and tens of thousands of.

961
00:55:01.679 --> 00:55:05.800
Pounds, I guess.

962
00:55:07.639 --> 00:55:09.719
I guess since it has tens of thousands of pounds

963
00:55:09.719 --> 00:55:12.519
of high value cheddar, that means that it's probably.

964
00:55:12.199 --> 00:55:15.039
Okay, it's the cheese. Yeah yeah.

965
00:55:15.159 --> 00:55:20.400
So. London based retailer and cheesemaker Neil's Yard Dairy said

966
00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:23.159
it learned on Wednesday that a suspect was in custody.

967
00:55:23.440 --> 00:55:26.559
The Metropolitan Police confirmed to NPR that a man was

968
00:55:26.559 --> 00:55:30.800
detained on suspicion of fraud by false representation and handling

969
00:55:30.960 --> 00:55:35.679
stolen goods quote. The man was taken to a South

970
00:55:35.719 --> 00:55:38.599
London police station where he was questioned. He has since

971
00:55:38.599 --> 00:55:43.119
been bailed pending further inquiries, a police spokesman said. Over

972
00:55:43.119 --> 00:55:45.800
the past week, the British artisanal cheese community has been

973
00:55:45.880 --> 00:55:49.079
reeling after Neil's Yard Darry announced it had been quote

974
00:55:49.400 --> 00:55:52.599
victim of a sophisticated fraud resulting in the loss of

975
00:55:52.679 --> 00:55:57.719
over three hundred thousand pounds worth of cloth bound cheddar,

976
00:55:58.079 --> 00:56:01.960
the equivalent of more than three hundred eighty nine thousand dollars.

977
00:56:02.280 --> 00:56:02.880
Wow.

978
00:56:04.159 --> 00:56:06.800
That is quite a bit of cheddar and also quite

979
00:56:06.800 --> 00:56:14.519
a bit of cheddar. Hmmm, living language, never confusing quote.

980
00:56:14.599 --> 00:56:17.679
The theft involved a fraudulent buyer posing as a legitimate

981
00:56:17.679 --> 00:56:21.440
wholesale distributor for a major French retailer, with the cheese

982
00:56:21.519 --> 00:56:26.440
delivered before the discovery of the fraudulent identity. The company Saidah,

983
00:56:26.719 --> 00:56:28.960
you should never. You shouldn't have trusted them simply because

984
00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:29.559
they were French.

985
00:56:31.239 --> 00:56:34.920
Well what did they so? They must have delivered it? Right?

986
00:56:35.039 --> 00:56:37.360
So did they just delivered to like some dude's bedroom.

987
00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:39.599
He was like, just I don't know, just put it in.

988
00:56:39.480 --> 00:56:41.840
Here, and they were like behind the flat screen.

989
00:56:42.239 --> 00:56:45.079
Yeah, and they were just like, Okay, I don't know

990
00:56:45.119 --> 00:56:47.199
anything about you. I'm sure it's fine.

991
00:56:48.000 --> 00:56:51.119
Hey, I'm not Union. I don't care. Also, if I

992
00:56:51.199 --> 00:56:55.320
was Union, would not care. The thief made off with

993
00:56:55.519 --> 00:57:00.719
nine hundred and fifty wheels. Wow, that's over twenty two

994
00:57:01.039 --> 00:57:02.199
metric tons.

995
00:57:02.440 --> 00:57:03.760
Where would he put them?

996
00:57:04.519 --> 00:57:07.960
Or roughly forty eight thousand, five hundred pounds.

997
00:57:08.280 --> 00:57:12.039
I don't even know what That's a lot of pounds.

998
00:57:12.280 --> 00:57:18.159
Did you know that? I mean the the like the

999
00:57:18.199 --> 00:57:21.480
way that floors are made. They're only made to support

1000
00:57:21.599 --> 00:57:24.199
so much weight. You know. I think if you put

1001
00:57:24.239 --> 00:57:28.119
that much cheese in the floor on your bedroom, you

1002
00:57:28.239 --> 00:57:30.320
might have a structural problem.

1003
00:57:30.679 --> 00:57:33.159
I'm gonna guess that he has some kind of storage

1004
00:57:33.159 --> 00:57:36.519
space rented, because this is not a small grift. This

1005
00:57:36.599 --> 00:57:39.360
is like hundreds of thousands of dollars in grift.

1006
00:57:39.800 --> 00:57:40.920
Let me believe this.

1007
00:57:41.639 --> 00:57:44.599
Oh, I mean, I hope it's a studio apartment. He's like,

1008
00:57:44.679 --> 00:57:51.280
just put it right by the lava lamp. Yeah, but

1009
00:57:51.639 --> 00:57:54.280
forty eight thousand, five hundred pounds of cheese. How much

1010
00:57:54.320 --> 00:57:55.800
do you weigh, Michelle? I want to know how many

1011
00:57:55.800 --> 00:57:56.960
michelles this cheese?

1012
00:57:57.280 --> 00:58:01.199
Just assume I weigh an amount of pounds one hundred

1013
00:58:01.239 --> 00:58:06.440
and eighth. Why that, I don't know.

1014
00:58:06.440 --> 00:58:08.480
I'm just guessing because you won't give us a number.

1015
00:58:08.679 --> 00:58:13.000
That's about right, I know, all.

1016
00:58:14.559 --> 00:58:17.840
By one eight. So that's four hundred and forty nine

1017
00:58:17.880 --> 00:58:21.199
point seven Michelle's. I actually thought it would be more

1018
00:58:22.559 --> 00:58:29.679
kind of disappointed. Now, yeah, I'm sorry, sorry, pal, So

1019
00:58:29.760 --> 00:58:32.480
for four hundred or forty eight, five hundred pounds of

1020
00:58:32.480 --> 00:58:36.800
hal of Halford, Westcombe and Pitchfork cheddar. It added the

1021
00:58:36.800 --> 00:58:41.239
wheels came from three different artisan suppliers across England and Wales.

1022
00:58:41.719 --> 00:58:43.559
Wow quote.

1023
00:58:43.599 --> 00:58:46.400
Between them, these cheeses have won numerous awards and are

1024
00:58:46.400 --> 00:58:49.559
amongst the most sought after artisan cheeses in the UK.

1025
00:58:50.119 --> 00:58:53.360
Neil's Yard Dairy said the high monetary value of these

1026
00:58:53.400 --> 00:58:56.840
cheeses likely made them a particular target for the thieves.

1027
00:58:57.360 --> 00:59:01.639
You think, no, I think they Yeah, yeah, that's like

1028
00:59:01.960 --> 00:59:04.719
that's why they steal diamonds. They're particularly valuable.

1029
00:59:05.119 --> 00:59:07.360
I could have been just a coincidence. Maybe he just

1030
00:59:07.480 --> 00:59:08.199
likes cheese.

1031
00:59:09.400 --> 00:59:13.679
That is. Man, if this dude was just like I

1032
00:59:13.760 --> 00:59:16.440
got it to eat it, I'd be like, man, you

1033
00:59:16.559 --> 00:59:17.440
got a hand to it.

1034
00:59:17.599 --> 00:59:19.679
Yeah, he's just gonna have to keep it, I guess.

1035
00:59:19.880 --> 00:59:22.760
Yeah. Like there's a difference between being a thief and

1036
00:59:22.840 --> 00:59:24.960
being someone who makes your own dreams come true.

1037
00:59:25.320 --> 00:59:30.920
Yeah, he's never had good cheese before because he's been impoverished.

1038
00:59:31.079 --> 00:59:35.079
So yes this time, so with his wits, he got

1039
00:59:35.119 --> 00:59:41.280
all that Cheddar. Yeah, the crime cuts deep. Cheddar, which

1040
00:59:41.480 --> 00:59:44.559
originated in a village by the same name in Somerset, England,

1041
00:59:44.840 --> 00:59:48.039
is the best selling cheese in the UK and a

1042
00:59:48.079 --> 00:59:52.519
big source of national pride. Aw it's like Wisconsin.

1043
00:59:53.679 --> 00:59:55.599
Yeah.

1044
00:59:55.719 --> 00:59:59.400
Last oh no. Last week, British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver

1045
00:59:59.519 --> 01:00:02.360
explained an Instagram video that there is quote only a

1046
01:00:02.360 --> 01:00:05.000
small handful of real Cheddar cheese makers in the world

1047
01:00:05.440 --> 01:00:08.119
and that's where the stolen cheese came from. He called

1048
01:00:08.159 --> 01:00:11.280
it a real shame. I'm assuming that that a real

1049
01:00:11.280 --> 01:00:14.159
shame was a quote from anyone who's made his recipes.

1050
01:00:15.320 --> 01:00:18.679
I've watched so many Jamie Oliver videos. He is not

1051
01:00:18.800 --> 01:00:22.880
a good cook. I'm sorry, I don't understand. I'll send

1052
01:00:22.920 --> 01:00:25.000
you a video of him making ramen, where he boils

1053
01:00:25.039 --> 01:00:29.679
the broth the entire time. You'll love it. Hum a

1054
01:00:29.840 --> 01:00:34.679
rolling boil of broth, heinous Asian food is where he's

1055
01:00:34.719 --> 01:00:35.320
at his worst.

1056
01:00:36.760 --> 01:00:38.800
Yeah.

1057
01:00:38.880 --> 01:00:41.480
Quote this will slow Neil's Yard being able to support

1058
01:00:41.559 --> 01:00:44.079
all of their cheesemakers over the next five years. I

1059
01:00:44.079 --> 01:00:47.679
would imagine, Oliver said, Neil's Yard Dairy is shouldering the

1060
01:00:47.719 --> 01:00:51.079
cost of the crime, having already paid the artisan cheesemakers

1061
01:00:51.079 --> 01:00:54.199
in full. Shouldn't you have insurance?

1062
01:00:54.800 --> 01:00:55.679
Well maybe they do.

1063
01:00:57.920 --> 01:01:00.199
The company says it is now taking steps to ensure

1064
01:01:00.239 --> 01:01:03.840
its own financial stability and the quote continued development of

1065
01:01:03.880 --> 01:01:08.239
the British artisan cheese sector. It sounds like they don't

1066
01:01:08.239 --> 01:01:11.880
have insurance. I don't like that's bizarre, like with that

1067
01:01:11.960 --> 01:01:14.679
big of a business, with like, if you have inventory

1068
01:01:14.719 --> 01:01:17.800
of over a half a million dollars, you should really,

1069
01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:19.239
I mean, like I would have insurance. I've had an

1070
01:01:19.239 --> 01:01:22.960
inventory of over forty thousand dollars, probably even thirty.

1071
01:01:23.519 --> 01:01:26.360
I mean, maybe they just never thought anyone would steal

1072
01:01:26.400 --> 01:01:28.480
it because it's cheese.

1073
01:01:28.840 --> 01:01:32.719
Because it's cheese. On Thursday, the company said it was

1074
01:01:32.760 --> 01:01:35.280
aware of the arrest. Quote, we are grateful for the

1075
01:01:35.320 --> 01:01:38.039
progress they have made and we will continue to support

1076
01:01:38.039 --> 01:01:40.960
their investigation in any way we can, Neil's Yard Darry

1077
01:01:41.039 --> 01:01:44.119
said in a statement. So it was like, I guess

1078
01:01:44.119 --> 01:01:47.199
they're not going to get it back or anything.

1079
01:01:47.840 --> 01:01:49.880
Yeah, where is it? And how did how did they

1080
01:01:49.880 --> 01:01:52.159
find this guy? Did they find the cheese?

1081
01:01:52.440 --> 01:01:54.360
Well, good news is there's actually a lot more story

1082
01:01:54.400 --> 01:01:58.280
left than I thought there'd be. Neil's Yard was not

1083
01:01:58.360 --> 01:02:01.320
the only company affected by the chief. Tom Calver with

1084
01:02:01.400 --> 01:02:04.360
the Cheesemaker Westcombe, said they were led to believe they

1085
01:02:04.360 --> 01:02:08.599
were sending their products to France via Neil's Niel's Yard Dairy. Quote.

1086
01:02:08.679 --> 01:02:12.639
These guys basically impersonated a wholesaler slash customer, quite a

1087
01:02:12.719 --> 01:02:15.480
large retailer over in France, he said in an Instagram

1088
01:02:15.559 --> 01:02:18.079
video showing a row of empty shelves and noting he

1089
01:02:18.119 --> 01:02:21.679
had posted excitedly about the ten ton order just weeks earlier.

1090
01:02:23.000 --> 01:02:26.320
That is a bum yeah, bummer. It was a hoax,

1091
01:02:26.360 --> 01:02:28.960
it was theft, it was fraud. I mean it's nuts, No,

1092
01:02:29.079 --> 01:02:34.519
it's cheese. Patrick Patrick Holden, whose Hafford Welsh Cheddar was taken,

1093
01:02:35.519 --> 01:02:38.320
told the BBC that the robbers asked Neil's Yard Dairy

1094
01:02:38.400 --> 01:02:41.880
to dispatch the cheese to a London warehouse, then collected

1095
01:02:41.880 --> 01:02:45.440
it and disappeared. He believes they may be trying to

1096
01:02:45.480 --> 01:02:48.599
sell it in the Middle East or Russia. Quote because

1097
01:02:48.599 --> 01:02:53.199
people won't ask questions there. Wow, tell us your real

1098
01:02:53.239 --> 01:02:57.519
feelings about them geese. Quote. I think they tried to

1099
01:02:57.559 --> 01:02:59.840
sell it closer to home. If they tried to sell

1100
01:02:59.880 --> 01:03:02.360
it as home, they'd find it difficult, he said, naming

1101
01:03:02.400 --> 01:03:06.079
North America and Australia as examples. Quote because the international

1102
01:03:06.119 --> 01:03:11.039
artisan community is very connected the cheese. I mean sorry,

1103
01:03:11.639 --> 01:03:12.079
I don't know.

1104
01:03:12.119 --> 01:03:14.679
If somebody was just like, hey, do you want some cheese.

1105
01:03:14.760 --> 01:03:16.079
It's good cheese, I would.

1106
01:03:15.840 --> 01:03:20.400
Just be like, okay, you'd be like, say less us brother.

1107
01:03:21.280 --> 01:03:24.400
The cheesemakers have all issued statements thanking Nil's Yard Dairy

1108
01:03:24.480 --> 01:03:27.519
for honoring the sale and praising the company's response as

1109
01:03:27.519 --> 01:03:31.000
an example of the trust and integrity that exists in

1110
01:03:31.039 --> 01:03:31.960
the small industry.

1111
01:03:32.280 --> 01:03:34.239
Yeah. I mean they're not going to be a company anymore,

1112
01:03:34.320 --> 01:03:35.440
but sure, sure.

1113
01:03:35.280 --> 01:03:40.320
No again, ensure your stuff man. To that end, Niel's

1114
01:03:40.360 --> 01:03:44.159
Yard Dairy is asking its esteemed community of cheesemongers around

1115
01:03:44.159 --> 01:03:46.519
the world that's in quotes to keep an eye out

1116
01:03:46.559 --> 01:03:48.599
for the cheese and contact them if they are offered

1117
01:03:48.679 --> 01:03:52.800
or receive any suspicious deals, especially cloth bound cheddars of

1118
01:03:52.800 --> 01:03:56.400
certain weights ten kilograms and twenty four kilograms with the

1119
01:03:56.480 --> 01:04:01.559
tags attached. Calver amplified that request in his Instagram video. Quote,

1120
01:04:01.599 --> 01:04:04.000
if you see or know of anybody over in Europe

1121
01:04:04.079 --> 01:04:07.440
or around the world that there's some cloth bound raw

1122
01:04:07.480 --> 01:04:10.039
milk cheddar that's going cheap, then just can you let

1123
01:04:10.119 --> 01:04:13.360
us know, he said, because we can potentially trace it

1124
01:04:13.400 --> 01:04:16.280
back hopefully maybe I don't know, and we can hopefully

1125
01:04:16.320 --> 01:04:18.199
work with the police to try and find out who

1126
01:04:18.199 --> 01:04:20.920
the culprits are and in some way help Neil's Yard

1127
01:04:20.960 --> 01:04:27.199
in this quest of finding the cheese. Yeah that's in

1128
01:04:27.280 --> 01:04:36.920
his quest of finding the cheese. Yeah wow. So. In

1129
01:04:36.960 --> 01:04:39.639
a social media update posted on Sunday, Nil's Yard, Darry

1130
01:04:39.679 --> 01:04:42.480
said it has received an overwhelming number of calls, messages

1131
01:04:42.519 --> 01:04:45.360
and visits from supporters since announcing the theft, and it

1132
01:04:45.400 --> 01:04:48.199
offered an answer to many everyday cheese lovers who have

1133
01:04:48.239 --> 01:04:52.360
been asking how they can help. He wrote, continue to

1134
01:04:52.400 --> 01:04:56.360
support British and Irish cheese. Hafford, Pitchfork and Westcombe are

1135
01:04:56.400 --> 01:05:00.039
special examples of farmhouse, cheddar, eat them, celebrate.

1136
01:04:59.599 --> 01:05:02.239
Them, and also we need money.

1137
01:05:02.719 --> 01:05:05.480
Yeah, but also like we need money. Do they know

1138
01:05:05.480 --> 01:05:09.960
how we could illegally get retroactive insurance? Yeah? I like

1139
01:05:10.039 --> 01:05:13.320
putting illegally in the request. Yes, is there any way,

1140
01:05:13.599 --> 01:05:15.599
like that's the best Reddit question. Is there any way

1141
01:05:15.639 --> 01:05:17.719
I can illegally do this thing?

1142
01:05:18.039 --> 01:05:21.559
Yeah? You have to. You have to kind of state

1143
01:05:21.599 --> 01:05:24.719
your intentions.

1144
01:05:24.400 --> 01:05:25.159
Manifest it.

1145
01:05:26.199 --> 01:05:27.599
Yeah.

1146
01:05:27.639 --> 01:05:29.239
Well, we're gonna take a quick break and then we're

1147
01:05:29.280 --> 01:05:33.599
gonna jump into allegedly true paranormal stories involving Christmas right

1148
01:05:33.639 --> 01:05:44.400
after this. All right, we are back and I found

1149
01:05:44.519 --> 01:05:50.239
a list of some allegedly true paranormal stories revolving around Christmas,

1150
01:05:50.280 --> 01:05:52.440
courtesy of rancor dot com.

1151
01:05:53.360 --> 01:05:53.880
Wow.

1152
01:05:55.000 --> 01:05:58.960
Thanks, But here's the fun thing there, Because it's rancor,

1153
01:05:59.280 --> 01:06:02.159
there's a vote counter at the bottom of each story

1154
01:06:02.519 --> 01:06:04.400
and that's what makes it number one, number two and

1155
01:06:04.480 --> 01:06:07.440
number three and stuff. So, cell, after I read this

1156
01:06:07.519 --> 01:06:09.000
and we talk about it, you have to tell me

1157
01:06:09.679 --> 01:06:14.000
the question is is this a chilling tale? Upvoter down vote? Okay,

1158
01:06:14.719 --> 01:06:17.239
So we have to if we're gonna use this for content, we.

1159
01:06:17.239 --> 01:06:21.280
Have to share, Okay.

1160
01:06:20.159 --> 01:06:23.800
Okay, we have to, like help So number one is

1161
01:06:23.840 --> 01:06:28.480
the legend of the Mistletoe Bride that haunts England's Bramshill House.

1162
01:06:30.400 --> 01:06:33.920
Okay, that's it, I'm just kidding.

1163
01:06:36.000 --> 01:06:38.800
The legend of the Mistletoe Bride has been retold for

1164
01:06:38.920 --> 01:06:42.800
centuries and has taken many forms. While the story's true

1165
01:06:42.840 --> 01:06:45.920
origin is difficult to determine, many have come to believe

1166
01:06:46.000 --> 01:06:49.000
its roots are in the disappearance of Lord Lovell's bride

1167
01:06:49.320 --> 01:06:55.719
at Bramshall House in Hampshire, England. Allegedly, Lord Lovelle was

1168
01:06:55.760 --> 01:06:59.320
preparing to wed a young woman related to Sir John Cope,

1169
01:06:59.360 --> 01:07:02.559
the owner of of the Bramshall House. This was around

1170
01:07:02.639 --> 01:07:06.679
Christmas time, so mistletoe hung throughout the mansion, inspiring the

1171
01:07:06.679 --> 01:07:09.880
wedding party to play a game. The young bride to

1172
01:07:09.920 --> 01:07:13.199
be would hide somewhere in the mansion, The groomsmen would

1173
01:07:13.199 --> 01:07:15.920
all seek her out, and whoever found her would get

1174
01:07:16.039 --> 01:07:20.199
to kiss her. Gross So the bride went to hide,

1175
01:07:21.320 --> 01:07:23.599
and the wedding party sought to find her. That part

1176
01:07:23.639 --> 01:07:27.360
didn't rhyme, However, the minutes turned to hours and they

1177
01:07:27.440 --> 01:07:29.079
still could not find her.

1178
01:07:29.599 --> 01:07:31.960
I yeah, no, if someone wanted to kiss me, I'd

1179
01:07:31.960 --> 01:07:33.320
be gone too. That'd be it.

1180
01:07:35.000 --> 01:07:37.079
Fair fair, I mean, but she agreed to the game.

1181
01:07:37.119 --> 01:07:37.639
As far as we.

1182
01:07:37.559 --> 01:07:43.000
Can tell, we don't know that she could have been coerced.

1183
01:07:44.079 --> 01:07:48.960
Eventually, the game turned terribly serious, as no matter where

1184
01:07:49.000 --> 01:07:56.119
they looked, she remained missing. Not until fifty years later

1185
01:07:56.239 --> 01:08:00.000
did Lord Lavelle, still seeking answers to his bride's disappear.

1186
01:08:00.000 --> 01:08:03.719
Appearance happened upon a secret closet in an upstairs room

1187
01:08:03.760 --> 01:08:07.960
of the Bramshall House. Inside he found a wooden chest

1188
01:08:08.239 --> 01:08:13.000
sealed shut with a lock. Upon opening the chest, he

1189
01:08:13.079 --> 01:08:17.319
found the nearly unrecognizable remains of his bride.

1190
01:08:19.000 --> 01:08:23.640
Huh, So how'd you get in there? That's the question, because, like,

1191
01:08:24.199 --> 01:08:26.720
I mean, I could see going into a chest, but

1192
01:08:26.760 --> 01:08:29.039
if it's it can't. It's not about lock on its own.

1193
01:08:29.039 --> 01:08:29.960
That's not how locks were.

1194
01:08:30.159 --> 01:08:33.239
It had a lock on the outside. Somebody definitely locked

1195
01:08:33.239 --> 01:08:38.359
her in there. Yeah, whether intentional or not, I would

1196
01:08:38.399 --> 01:08:42.319
assume intentional, probably intentional.

1197
01:08:41.880 --> 01:08:43.760
Because I don't I mean, I don't just walk around

1198
01:08:43.920 --> 01:08:46.520
to like strange boxes and go like maybe I should

1199
01:08:46.560 --> 01:08:47.039
lock this.

1200
01:08:48.760 --> 01:08:51.199
Maybe you do now you know, now you're in denial

1201
01:08:51.239 --> 01:08:53.479
because you realize you killed so many people doing that.

1202
01:08:53.560 --> 01:08:55.520
Well, I mean I always think I killed some people,

1203
01:08:55.680 --> 01:09:00.680
so fair fair killed her her?

1204
01:09:00.840 --> 01:09:02.399
Well, No, I don't think. I think that was a

1205
01:09:02.399 --> 01:09:03.439
little bit before your time.

1206
01:09:03.640 --> 01:09:05.279
Probably, I don't know.

1207
01:09:06.199 --> 01:09:07.880
So is that a chilling tale?

1208
01:09:10.800 --> 01:09:13.800
Sure? Sure, okay, I'll give it to him because I'm

1209
01:09:13.960 --> 01:09:18.479
involved trying to kiss somebody who obviously would rather die

1210
01:09:18.600 --> 01:09:22.000
than be kissed, so fair enough.

1211
01:09:22.239 --> 01:09:25.000
Ninety six percent of people who've read this agree with

1212
01:09:25.079 --> 01:09:31.720
us that it is indeed chilling. Okay, all right. Number two,

1213
01:09:32.199 --> 01:09:37.359
The Brown Lady of Rainham Rainham Hall wanders the passages

1214
01:09:37.800 --> 01:09:39.439
every Christmas.

1215
01:09:40.119 --> 01:09:41.960
Okay.

1216
01:09:43.119 --> 01:09:46.800
The Brown Lady of Rainham Hall has perplexed visitors and

1217
01:09:46.880 --> 01:09:52.640
paranormal investigators for hundreds of years. Back in the seventeen hundreds,

1218
01:09:53.000 --> 01:09:57.079
owner Charles Townshend married a young woman named Dorothy Walpole.

1219
01:09:57.800 --> 01:10:01.439
While they lived happily together for some in Rayham Hall

1220
01:10:01.760 --> 01:10:07.600
a Rainham Hall and these English words, Townshend soon became

1221
01:10:07.720 --> 01:10:11.199
paranoid that his new wife was being unfaithful to him,

1222
01:10:11.560 --> 01:10:15.520
Eventually driving himself mad with jealousy. He decided to hide

1223
01:10:15.600 --> 01:10:18.479
Dorothy away in the hall, telling all of their friends

1224
01:10:18.479 --> 01:10:25.760
and family that she had tragically passed away. Mm hmm ooh.

1225
01:10:26.199 --> 01:10:29.359
Dorothy was forced to stay inside the mansion, allowed only

1226
01:10:29.439 --> 01:10:33.159
to wander through its halls. Not long after, she perished,

1227
01:10:33.520 --> 01:10:37.000
never having left Raynham Hall after her husband imprisoned her.

1228
01:10:37.680 --> 01:10:40.680
Ever since her passing, people have witnessed the image of

1229
01:10:40.720 --> 01:10:44.279
a woman in a tattered brown dress wandering through the halls,

1230
01:10:44.760 --> 01:10:49.199
and some of these reported encounters are truly horrifying. One visitor,

1231
01:10:49.279 --> 01:10:52.840
unaware of the Brown Lady's legend, approached a woman in

1232
01:10:52.880 --> 01:10:55.279
the hall, only to have her look at him with

1233
01:10:55.399 --> 01:10:58.720
a glowing face, but where her eyes should have been

1234
01:10:59.279 --> 01:11:01.239
there were only the empty.

1235
01:11:00.880 --> 01:11:03.199
Sockets ew Why.

1236
01:11:05.399 --> 01:11:09.079
Years after or later, after numerous other reported sightings, a

1237
01:11:09.079 --> 01:11:13.960
photographer from Country Life magazine visited Raynham Hall to document

1238
01:11:14.000 --> 01:11:16.760
it for an article. After snapping a photograph of the

1239
01:11:16.760 --> 01:11:20.479
central stairwell, he saw within the image a hazy silhouette

1240
01:11:20.680 --> 01:11:23.920
that many believe is none other than Dorothy Walpole The

1241
01:11:24.000 --> 01:11:26.760
Brown Lady.

1242
01:11:26.920 --> 01:11:27.720
Yeah.

1243
01:11:27.800 --> 01:11:29.359
I have a little bit of a problem with this

1244
01:11:29.399 --> 01:11:31.920
one because the color brown doesn't actually exist.

1245
01:11:33.199 --> 01:11:34.760
Boo, it does exist.

1246
01:11:36.399 --> 01:11:39.800
This is a long standing debate between Michelle and I.

1247
01:11:39.920 --> 01:11:42.319
It is simply orange with no luminance.

1248
01:11:42.520 --> 01:11:45.600
I can't, I like, I want to explain this to you,

1249
01:11:45.680 --> 01:11:48.800
but it would take so long and require so much

1250
01:11:48.920 --> 01:11:52.359
like legwork. They're like, I don't want to do it,

1251
01:11:52.880 --> 01:11:54.880
but it but brown.

1252
01:11:54.720 --> 01:11:58.159
Exists, So why can't we make a brown light? Then?

1253
01:11:58.720 --> 01:12:01.800
I don't know why because magic? I don't know.

1254
01:12:03.840 --> 01:12:05.800
So why if you take a photo of something that

1255
01:12:05.880 --> 01:12:08.119
is brown and put it into a photo ending software

1256
01:12:08.159 --> 01:12:11.600
and use the dropper tool, why is it that brown

1257
01:12:11.800 --> 01:12:14.239
is just darkened orange?

1258
01:12:14.800 --> 01:12:18.840
Because because that's a computer, Like, it's not real. The

1259
01:12:18.880 --> 01:12:21.920
computer is just trying to like explain something to you,

1260
01:12:22.079 --> 01:12:25.399
and that's how it did it. There's plenty of browns

1261
01:12:25.399 --> 01:12:29.680
that are not dark orange. I almost said orange, so

1262
01:12:30.399 --> 01:12:35.079
I got you so, like I'm telling you, it's not

1263
01:12:35.479 --> 01:12:38.800
the same all the time. And brown is just a

1264
01:12:38.840 --> 01:12:42.920
combination of colors. So maybe it's not a real color,

1265
01:12:42.960 --> 01:12:44.720
but it's definitely not orange.

1266
01:12:45.199 --> 01:12:55.840
It's mostly orange. No, okay, So is this a chilling tale? Yes?

1267
01:12:55.920 --> 01:12:56.159
Or no?

1268
01:12:56.560 --> 01:12:59.000
I mean it's a little chilling because I'm worried about

1269
01:12:59.000 --> 01:13:01.680
that dude. Why did he go crazy? You don't go

1270
01:13:01.800 --> 01:13:06.000
crazy from jealousy like that. He probably had lead poisoning

1271
01:13:06.159 --> 01:13:06.640
or something.

1272
01:13:07.319 --> 01:13:11.600
Well, it's England, yeah, so we're giving it. Yes, it's chilling.

1273
01:13:11.880 --> 01:13:15.800
I guess all right, up vote that ninety percent of

1274
01:13:15.800 --> 01:13:16.840
people agree with us.

1275
01:13:17.319 --> 01:13:17.680
Okay.

1276
01:13:19.640 --> 01:13:23.840
Number three. An old Victorian house is allegedly haunted by

1277
01:13:23.880 --> 01:13:31.359
an eccentric woman every Christmas, just on Christmas, just on Christmas.

1278
01:13:32.199 --> 01:13:35.079
One group of ghosts from the Stark family have created

1279
01:13:35.119 --> 01:13:39.079
quite a legacy for themselves. The Starks left behind numerous

1280
01:13:39.119 --> 01:13:42.880
spirits that are now haunting a Victorian home in Luddington, Michigan,

1281
01:13:43.560 --> 01:13:50.319
and visitors have reported numerous sightings, particularly around Christmas. Oh

1282
01:13:50.800 --> 01:13:54.640
One such specter, Vera Stark, was well known in life

1283
01:13:54.640 --> 01:13:57.560
for her eccentricities and seems to have brought them with

1284
01:13:57.640 --> 01:14:00.920
her into the afterlife. Those who to have seen her

1285
01:14:00.960 --> 01:14:03.439
ghost say she appears in the front yard of the

1286
01:14:03.479 --> 01:14:08.039
home wearing only a fur coat and picking flowers, just

1287
01:14:08.119 --> 01:14:13.279
as she did in life. In addition, the ghost of

1288
01:14:13.359 --> 01:14:16.000
one of the Stark daughters, who suffered a terrible misapp

1289
01:14:16.239 --> 01:14:19.640
in the mansion's gymnasium. Damn they have a gymnasium. That's

1290
01:14:19.680 --> 01:14:23.880
pretty cool, can allegedly be seen walking through the halls

1291
01:14:23.920 --> 01:14:27.760
of the home. So is this another example of ghost

1292
01:14:27.800 --> 01:14:29.760
being inappropriate? If she's out there with just a fur

1293
01:14:29.800 --> 01:14:32.119
coat and nothing else, But she's also a ghost.

1294
01:14:32.000 --> 01:14:34.359
Yeah, that's what I want to know. Do we really

1295
01:14:34.399 --> 01:14:37.279
mean nothing else? Just a fur coat?

1296
01:14:37.920 --> 01:14:39.520
Just a fur coat, that's what it says.

1297
01:14:39.640 --> 01:14:42.800
That is pretty inappropriate. Yeah.

1298
01:14:43.000 --> 01:14:45.880
The current owners of the home have even attempted to

1299
01:14:45.920 --> 01:14:49.439
open it up to historical tours, but they apparently ran

1300
01:14:49.479 --> 01:14:50.920
into problems.

1301
01:14:50.560 --> 01:14:52.359
Because of the inappropriateness.

1302
01:14:56.479 --> 01:15:00.600
Perhaps quote our spirits did not care for it being

1303
01:15:00.600 --> 01:15:03.399
open to the public and went wild.

1304
01:15:04.640 --> 01:15:08.279
I mean, if I was just mostly naked outside picking flowers,

1305
01:15:08.319 --> 01:15:13.600
I wouldn't want people coming over. I mean, but yeah,

1306
01:15:13.640 --> 01:15:16.159
I don't know. Maybe I'm kind of an exhibitionist if

1307
01:15:16.159 --> 01:15:18.159
I'm just outside in just my pro code, So.

1308
01:15:18.920 --> 01:15:19.920
It would sound that way.

1309
01:15:20.199 --> 01:15:21.920
Yeah.

1310
01:15:21.960 --> 01:15:25.319
So is this a chilling tale?

1311
01:15:25.640 --> 01:15:30.920
Yeah, because it's we're bordering on inappropriate ghosts behavior again.

1312
01:15:30.960 --> 01:15:34.520
So ninety percent of people agree with us.

1313
01:15:35.079 --> 01:15:37.920
Yeah.

1314
01:15:38.000 --> 01:15:39.920
Well, we're gonna take a quick break and we'll jump

1315
01:15:39.960 --> 01:15:45.039
back in with even more stories of paranormal Christmas after this,

1316
01:15:53.279 --> 01:15:56.279
and we are back looking at rancor dot COM's list

1317
01:15:56.279 --> 01:16:00.960
of Christmas ghost stories and rating how spoopy they are.

1318
01:16:02.079 --> 01:16:04.319
One thing I really do love about Christmas a lot

1319
01:16:04.319 --> 01:16:06.279
of my friends and now I think they get it

1320
01:16:06.319 --> 01:16:08.119
because I've been doing the show so long, but like

1321
01:16:08.439 --> 01:16:10.439
Christmas has always been a bit spooky.

1322
01:16:10.960 --> 01:16:11.239
M h.

1323
01:16:11.760 --> 01:16:13.960
Which is one of the reasons I extra love Christmas

1324
01:16:14.039 --> 01:16:16.079
so much is that, like you get a little Halloween

1325
01:16:16.119 --> 01:16:18.840
in there too. There's all kinds of ghost stories. It's

1326
01:16:18.840 --> 01:16:22.680
all about, like you know, Christmas night, there's lots of

1327
01:16:22.800 --> 01:16:25.920
night time stuff in the winter nights are longer, like ye,

1328
01:16:26.079 --> 01:16:29.600
there's a lot to be spooky about Christmas, yeah, which

1329
01:16:29.640 --> 01:16:32.520
I've always enjoyed. I love the British tradition of telling

1330
01:16:32.560 --> 01:16:34.680
ghost stories. I mean because whatever I tell people that

1331
01:16:34.720 --> 01:16:36.640
are like, really they did that, I'm like a Christmas Carol.

1332
01:16:37.399 --> 01:16:39.640
They're like oh, and I'm like yeah. That was just

1333
01:16:40.439 --> 01:16:42.319
most of the time, the ghost stories that they would

1334
01:16:42.319 --> 01:16:45.359
that would get famous on Christmas Eve were not directly

1335
01:16:45.399 --> 01:16:48.479
related to Christmas. They were just ghost stories. But that's

1336
01:16:48.520 --> 01:16:51.239
why Christmas Carol became extra famous was it was a

1337
01:16:51.279 --> 01:16:54.479
really good one and it was Christmas themed, so it became,

1338
01:16:55.319 --> 01:16:58.359
you know, popular in America too. It got popular everywhere.

1339
01:16:58.760 --> 01:17:03.359
So but like you've seen Scrooged, right, did I send

1340
01:17:03.399 --> 01:17:05.279
you a copy of Scrooged or did you already see

1341
01:17:05.279 --> 01:17:05.560
that one?

1342
01:17:05.800 --> 01:17:06.880
I had already seen it.

1343
01:17:07.520 --> 01:17:11.119
That's a great one. Like the scary moments are really great,

1344
01:17:11.279 --> 01:17:15.279
Like they're really scary, like the demonic monster, ghosts and stuff.

1345
01:17:15.279 --> 01:17:20.439
They're really scary. I love that about that movie. Yeah, anyway,

1346
01:17:21.880 --> 01:17:24.399
do you remember on Christmas? It was Christmas Eve, I

1347
01:17:24.479 --> 01:17:27.560
rented the movie theater and showed Scrooged. I rented a

1348
01:17:27.640 --> 01:17:31.920
movie theater at my local cineplex. It was during COVID, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1349
01:17:31.920 --> 01:17:34.199
and we showed Scrooged and it was me and like,

1350
01:17:34.239 --> 01:17:36.600
I think it was eighteen friends because you're allowed to

1351
01:17:36.640 --> 01:17:41.520
have I think at that time it was thirty people. Okay, well,

1352
01:17:41.760 --> 01:17:43.760
well based on the rental price. Because the rental price

1353
01:17:43.840 --> 01:17:45.800
was not very high. If I want to have more

1354
01:17:45.840 --> 01:17:48.079
than that, I had to pay a little bit more,

1355
01:17:48.079 --> 01:17:49.760
like fifty dollars more or something. It wasn't too bad.

1356
01:17:49.840 --> 01:17:51.640
It was like two hundred bucks. It was totally worth it.

1357
01:17:53.119 --> 01:17:55.359
But during the end when they do the singing part

1358
01:17:56.079 --> 01:17:58.119
where they're like during the credits, Orry saying like now

1359
01:17:58.159 --> 01:18:00.399
you on the left, now you on the right doing that.

1360
01:18:00.479 --> 01:18:01.880
I stood up at the theater. I was like, you

1361
01:18:01.920 --> 01:18:05.279
all sing right now? Because I paid for this, so

1362
01:18:06.039 --> 01:18:08.399
we followed his direction, like when he said like all

1363
01:18:08.439 --> 01:18:10.159
you on the left. Everybody on the left of the

1364
01:18:10.159 --> 01:18:12.520
theater was singing, and then other right the right was singing.

1365
01:18:12.600 --> 01:18:17.159
It was really fun cool anyway, all right. So number

1366
01:18:17.159 --> 01:18:21.239
four at Rancor alleged phantoms. Ooh, you're gonna like this.

1367
01:18:21.239 --> 01:18:25.000
This is near your ancestral homeland. Alleged phantoms plague a

1368
01:18:25.039 --> 01:18:27.159
Brooklyn home during Christmas time.

1369
01:18:27.560 --> 01:18:28.079
Yay.

1370
01:18:29.520 --> 01:18:31.640
Hopefully we get to the bronx at some point.

1371
01:18:31.960 --> 01:18:32.560
Yay.

1372
01:18:33.439 --> 01:18:37.319
A few weeks before Christmas in eighteen seventy eight, Edward F.

1373
01:18:37.439 --> 01:18:40.039
Smith was at his home in Brooklyn, New York. When

1374
01:18:40.079 --> 01:18:43.880
the doorbell rang. He answered the door, but there was

1375
01:18:43.920 --> 01:18:48.800
no one there. This soon became a nightly occurrence. The

1376
01:18:48.840 --> 01:18:51.159
doorbell would ring, only for Smith to find no one

1377
01:18:51.199 --> 01:18:54.520
outside and no sign that anyone had been there at all.

1378
01:18:56.439 --> 01:19:01.079
Growing frustrated, Smith sprinkled ash and fly along the path

1379
01:19:01.159 --> 01:19:04.840
of the door, expecting to find footprints left behind, but

1380
01:19:04.960 --> 01:19:08.720
substances were undisturbed, and the noises continued.

1381
01:19:10.199 --> 01:19:13.039
Pesky kids, lousy kids.

1382
01:19:13.399 --> 01:19:16.279
See Brooklyn was going to health so long before now?

1383
01:19:18.640 --> 01:19:22.319
Growing Oh wait, no, sorry, you lost my place. No

1384
01:19:22.359 --> 01:19:24.960
matter where he and his family stood around the house,

1385
01:19:25.199 --> 01:19:30.439
the noises remained unidentifiable. Smith and his family were growing

1386
01:19:30.479 --> 01:19:34.119
more concerned as the doorbell ringing turned aggressive banging on

1387
01:19:34.159 --> 01:19:39.960
the doors. Eventually they contacted the police. The ringing and

1388
01:19:40.000 --> 01:19:42.800
banging continued, and still no one was able to identify

1389
01:19:42.840 --> 01:19:46.800
its source. One night, a brick suddenly flew through the

1390
01:19:46.840 --> 01:19:50.800
window from outside, even though police officers were standing nearby

1391
01:19:51.640 --> 01:19:52.560
and no one saw.

1392
01:19:53.239 --> 01:19:54.720
So, I get it.

1393
01:19:56.000 --> 01:19:57.760
I think there was a printer. It was just a

1394
01:19:57.760 --> 01:19:59.079
printer turning.

1395
01:19:58.760 --> 01:20:01.560
On h I mean, I was gonna say, I think

1396
01:20:01.560 --> 01:20:02.920
it's the police.

1397
01:20:02.960 --> 01:20:05.840
That was actually my first thought. The cops doing it then.

1398
01:20:06.039 --> 01:20:07.319
Yeah.

1399
01:20:07.359 --> 01:20:10.800
Although they investigated the home for some time, police were

1400
01:20:10.880 --> 01:20:14.840
unable to identify the cause of the disturbances. Smith and

1401
01:20:14.880 --> 01:20:19.119
those who witnessed the strange occurrences ultimately concluded that they

1402
01:20:19.199 --> 01:20:24.159
must have been paranormal in nature. Oo.

1403
01:20:26.880 --> 01:20:32.840
Yeah, yeah, it was only a person, fair fair.

1404
01:20:34.640 --> 01:20:36.399
Well? Is that a chilling story?

1405
01:20:36.680 --> 01:20:36.760
No?

1406
01:20:38.000 --> 01:20:39.560
Wow, you just no way?

1407
01:20:40.079 --> 01:20:41.039
No.

1408
01:20:41.079 --> 01:20:43.439
What about the ash and flower they sprinkled on the

1409
01:20:43.479 --> 01:20:44.479
path to the doorway.

1410
01:20:44.720 --> 01:20:47.000
Oh you don't think that a person could not step

1411
01:20:47.039 --> 01:20:48.479
on something, because I do.

1412
01:20:49.560 --> 01:20:50.880
But how would they know it was there?

1413
01:20:51.640 --> 01:20:53.960
They can't see m.

1414
01:20:55.439 --> 01:21:00.319
All right, we'll downvote that one. Thirteen percent of people

1415
01:21:00.359 --> 01:21:09.560
agreed with us. Yeah, ooh, number five. A headless horseman

1416
01:21:09.600 --> 01:21:12.239
allegedly haunts Ruce Hall every December.

1417
01:21:13.960 --> 01:21:17.960
So there was there is a headless horseman at Christmas.

1418
01:21:18.199 --> 01:21:20.520
Well now this but for the record, this is not

1419
01:21:20.560 --> 01:21:23.039
a headless horseman legend. This is what's called a doula

1420
01:21:23.079 --> 01:21:28.199
han okay, which is the story that is very common

1421
01:21:28.279 --> 01:21:31.439
in the England and Ireland. And that's kind of where

1422
01:21:31.479 --> 01:21:33.239
the concept of it came from. I think we cover

1423
01:21:33.279 --> 01:21:38.760
that last week we did. Yeah, so a doulahn is

1424
01:21:38.800 --> 01:21:40.520
a specific kind of ghost that rides a horse and

1425
01:21:40.600 --> 01:21:41.399
usually has no head.

1426
01:21:41.760 --> 01:21:42.880
Yeah.

1427
01:21:43.000 --> 01:21:45.840
So let's see. Ruce Hall, a mysterious mansion in the

1428
01:21:45.840 --> 01:21:48.560
English countryside, is rumored to be one of the most

1429
01:21:48.600 --> 01:21:52.680
haunted places in England. Located just outside the small town

1430
01:21:52.720 --> 01:21:56.840
of Beccles or Vessels, whichever, in the County of Suffolk.

1431
01:21:57.840 --> 01:22:01.000
The mansion has accumulated plenty of ghost stories ever since

1432
01:22:01.039 --> 01:22:04.960
it was first built in the sixteenth century. One of

1433
01:22:04.960 --> 01:22:07.960
the most horrifying stories is that of the headless horsemen.

1434
01:22:08.800 --> 01:22:11.079
Many people may be familiar with this legend, but at

1435
01:22:11.159 --> 01:22:13.159
Ruce Hall it takes on a life of its own.

1436
01:22:13.760 --> 01:22:16.800
Numerous vigious visitors to Ruce Hall have reported a man

1437
01:22:16.840 --> 01:22:19.319
on a horse riding toward them on the road, only

1438
01:22:19.399 --> 01:22:25.399
to discover that he has no head. Allegedly on Christmas Eve,

1439
01:22:25.439 --> 01:22:28.399
the headless man is often seen clattering down the driveway

1440
01:22:28.560 --> 01:22:33.520
with his phantom coach and four horses. Ooh, that's a

1441
01:22:33.600 --> 01:22:35.279
version of the doula han. You don't hear as much

1442
01:22:35.359 --> 01:22:39.760
as the headless horseman is riding a cab you know

1443
01:22:40.279 --> 01:22:46.520
a thing. Yeah, carriage, couldn't couldn't think of it. And

1444
01:22:46.600 --> 01:22:50.000
this is only the beginning of Ruce Hall's ghostly existence.

1445
01:22:50.520 --> 01:22:53.600
Other rumors claim that there are strange markings inside the

1446
01:22:53.640 --> 01:22:58.760
hall known as Devil's footprints, and some have even reported

1447
01:22:58.800 --> 01:23:03.920
seeing a girl watch them from the windows. Eh, girls,

1448
01:23:03.960 --> 01:23:09.399
they're gross. Yeah, that one's pretty creepy.

1449
01:23:09.720 --> 01:23:13.439
Yeah, I mean it would be creepier if the headless

1450
01:23:13.479 --> 01:23:16.199
horseman doula hand dude came up to them and was like,

1451
01:23:16.239 --> 01:23:18.680
are you do you need a ride? And then if

1452
01:23:18.720 --> 01:23:21.000
you get in, he takes you to hell or something.

1453
01:23:21.239 --> 01:23:23.039
You're back home or something. I don't know.

1454
01:23:23.560 --> 01:23:26.640
I love your phrase, the doula hand dude.

1455
01:23:27.600 --> 01:23:28.760
You're welcome than.

1456
01:23:28.840 --> 01:23:35.159
The tale of the doula hand dude. No, I agree

1457
01:23:35.159 --> 01:23:37.479
and there are some stories like that where it's like

1458
01:23:37.479 --> 01:23:38.199
they take you to hell.

1459
01:23:38.600 --> 01:23:39.640
Yeah.

1460
01:23:40.119 --> 01:23:41.680
I don't hear a lot of stories about a doula

1461
01:23:41.720 --> 01:23:44.800
han haunting like a house specifically. Usually it's like an area.

1462
01:23:45.520 --> 01:23:47.840
Yeah, maybe he just really likes this one.

1463
01:23:49.920 --> 01:23:54.000
Number six, The ghost of Sir Jeoffrey D. Manville and

1464
01:23:54.079 --> 01:23:57.399
his headless dog roam the streets on Christmas Eve.

1465
01:23:57.720 --> 01:23:59.840
Oh that's sad, poor dog.

1466
01:24:01.000 --> 01:24:04.199
The story of Sir Jeoffrey D. Mandeville is brimming with

1467
01:24:04.279 --> 01:24:08.239
political betrayals. Thank god that's stopped. He held the title

1468
01:24:08.279 --> 01:24:11.039
of the Earl of Essex and was a prestigious European

1469
01:24:11.119 --> 01:24:14.960
landowner during the eleven hundreds. Because of his title, he

1470
01:24:15.000 --> 01:24:18.319
had great influence over royal politics at the time. However,

1471
01:24:18.359 --> 01:24:21.920
when a debate emerged regarding the rightful heir to the throne,

1472
01:24:21.960 --> 01:24:25.199
he chose the losing side and was promptly stripped of

1473
01:24:25.279 --> 01:24:30.520
many of his assets and excommunicated from the Church. During

1474
01:24:30.560 --> 01:24:35.039
his excommunication, s Joffrey was slain on the battlefield, but

1475
01:24:35.159 --> 01:24:37.640
because of his exile, he was not allowed a prop

1476
01:24:37.680 --> 01:24:42.279
and proper Christian internment, which many believe left his spirit

1477
01:24:42.439 --> 01:24:49.199
trapped within the earthly realm. Rumours claim that Sir Jeoffrey

1478
01:24:49.520 --> 01:24:53.199
also left a curse on the properties he owned, stating

1479
01:24:53.239 --> 01:24:55.920
that should they ever be taken away from him, Ruin

1480
01:24:56.000 --> 01:25:00.479
would befall his betrayer, and every six years on Christmas Eve,

1481
01:25:00.960 --> 01:25:04.439
he and a headless dog would haunt the lands draped

1482
01:25:04.920 --> 01:25:05.880
in a red cloak.

1483
01:25:07.840 --> 01:25:10.439
That's oddly specific a bit.

1484
01:25:11.560 --> 01:25:15.680
I know. Headless dogs are like a very European ghost thing.

1485
01:25:16.119 --> 01:25:20.000
Headless dogs why because they're spooky, I guess. I mean

1486
01:25:20.039 --> 01:25:20.960
I would be creeped out.

1487
01:25:22.039 --> 01:25:25.359
I mean, I guess it depends on if it's friendly

1488
01:25:25.479 --> 01:25:25.680
or not.

1489
01:25:25.840 --> 01:25:28.399
I guess would you be more afraid it was friendly?

1490
01:25:28.520 --> 01:25:30.119
Oh God, that's gonna touch me with its stuff?

1491
01:25:30.319 --> 01:25:33.760
Yeah, I would be more afraid. Yeah, I don't know

1492
01:25:33.800 --> 01:25:36.199
what it's gonna do with its its neck hole.

1493
01:25:37.079 --> 01:25:40.159
It'd be like how like gigs, How gigs natural instinct

1494
01:25:40.199 --> 01:25:41.960
is to put the part of her face that's missing

1495
01:25:42.000 --> 01:25:42.960
like right to whoever.

1496
01:25:43.399 --> 01:25:46.920
Yeah, exactly. It'd be like sticking its neck up against me,

1497
01:25:46.960 --> 01:25:48.479
And I'm just like, I don't, I don't know what

1498
01:25:48.479 --> 01:25:51.680
I'm supposed to do. Do I touch it or all?

1499
01:25:51.800 --> 01:25:55.319
Sweet gigs. Ever since his demise, people have visited the

1500
01:25:55.359 --> 01:25:59.159
properties he once owned particularly the Pims brook Bridge in

1501
01:25:59.239 --> 01:26:03.560
East Barnett, and they have reported hearing strange sounds and

1502
01:26:03.600 --> 01:26:07.079
witnessing the hazy image of a headless dog breaking through

1503
01:26:07.119 --> 01:26:10.159
the fog accompanied by a knight in full armor and

1504
01:26:10.199 --> 01:26:10.960
a red cloak.

1505
01:26:11.880 --> 01:26:15.439
Oh we came back as a knight. Huh, yeah, he's

1506
01:26:15.560 --> 01:26:21.359
pretty cool. Now, well he's Sir Jeoffrey. He was a knight. Okay, fine,

1507
01:26:21.640 --> 01:26:23.279
what that's what it means? I know?

1508
01:26:26.319 --> 01:26:28.560
Yeah, so is this a chilling tail?

1509
01:26:30.560 --> 01:26:33.720
I mean, considering there's that dog that I'm scared of?

1510
01:26:33.800 --> 01:26:35.920
Now yeah, yeah.

1511
01:26:35.560 --> 01:26:40.840
All right. Eighty eight percent of people agreed with us. Well,

1512
01:26:40.880 --> 01:26:43.680
we'll have even more of these tales right after this.

1513
01:26:52.520 --> 01:26:56.359
And now, for number seven on rancor dot COM's Christmas

1514
01:26:56.399 --> 01:27:01.640
ghost stories list, a ghost supposedly disrupts a Christmas party

1515
01:27:01.680 --> 01:27:02.720
at Alcatraz.

1516
01:27:04.279 --> 01:27:08.399
Oh fine, what do you mean?

1517
01:27:08.399 --> 01:27:08.600
What?

1518
01:27:09.079 --> 01:27:11.319
Why is there a Christmas party at Alcatraz?

1519
01:27:11.840 --> 01:27:15.119
There are employees. Oh so prisoners don't get to celebrate.

1520
01:27:15.239 --> 01:27:16.279
I say, how do you feel?

1521
01:27:16.680 --> 01:27:18.479
No, yeah, that's.

1522
01:27:18.359 --> 01:27:21.199
Against the constitution. That's cruel and unusual punishment.

1523
01:27:21.880 --> 01:27:24.199
I think that that is debatable.

1524
01:27:25.159 --> 01:27:29.039
Wow, you're just gonna withhold Christmas?

1525
01:27:30.640 --> 01:27:33.079
No, you can celebrate Christmas in your own way. But

1526
01:27:33.119 --> 01:27:35.079
we're not going to do it like as a thing.

1527
01:27:35.720 --> 01:27:37.840
I'm not gonna have a Christmas celebration.

1528
01:27:38.600 --> 01:27:45.199
Ooh, it explains it, and it actually raises way more questions. Yay. Alcatraz,

1529
01:27:45.239 --> 01:27:49.119
the isolated penitentiary located in the middle of California's San

1530
01:27:49.159 --> 01:27:53.399
Francisco Bay, closed down in nineteen sixty three, but tales

1531
01:27:53.399 --> 01:27:55.760
of those who were once held on the island continue

1532
01:27:55.760 --> 01:27:59.520
to haunt generations of onlookers and visitors. Often referred to

1533
01:27:59.560 --> 01:28:03.720
as the Rock, Alcatraz has gained a reputation for unexplainable

1534
01:28:03.720 --> 01:28:06.640
and shocking ghost encounters, and one of the most notable

1535
01:28:07.000 --> 01:28:11.039
was recounted during Christmas time. I prefer to call Alcatraz

1536
01:28:11.159 --> 01:28:13.319
Dwayne Johnson instead of the Rock.

1537
01:28:14.000 --> 01:28:16.159
Yeah.

1538
01:28:16.199 --> 01:28:19.479
But in the nineteen forties, while the facility was still

1539
01:28:19.520 --> 01:28:23.720
in operation, the warden at the time, Warden Johnston, decided

1540
01:28:23.760 --> 01:28:26.680
to throw a small Christmas party at his boarding house

1541
01:28:26.760 --> 01:28:32.319
on the island. Okay, I'm guessing it wasn't he didn't

1542
01:28:32.319 --> 01:28:34.079
own the boarding house. That would be an awfully big

1543
01:28:34.119 --> 01:28:36.039
conflict of interest to be like, I own the boarding

1544
01:28:36.039 --> 01:28:38.560
house on this island, which is the only place anybody

1545
01:28:38.560 --> 01:28:41.960
can live that wants to work here conveniently and pretty brutal.

1546
01:28:42.439 --> 01:28:44.000
Yeah, but it makes sense.

1547
01:28:44.039 --> 01:28:46.159
Like when you look at the Alcatraz photo of Alcatraz,

1548
01:28:46.199 --> 01:28:48.239
there is like a board, there's a house on one

1549
01:28:48.279 --> 01:28:49.039
side of the island.

1550
01:28:49.560 --> 01:28:50.439
Yeah, I've been there.

1551
01:28:50.479 --> 01:28:55.680
I don't remember you went to Alcatraz? Yeah, man, you people.

1552
01:28:57.319 --> 01:28:59.680
Sorry, I never got to do anything awesome like that.

1553
01:29:00.279 --> 01:29:02.359
I mean I didn't go that long ago.

1554
01:29:02.800 --> 01:29:08.239
Oh man, that's even worse. I hate you. During the gathering,

1555
01:29:08.279 --> 01:29:11.079
a few of the guards began retelling the story of

1556
01:29:11.119 --> 01:29:14.520
a phantom figure who appeared before them quote, wearing a

1557
01:29:14.560 --> 01:29:19.439
gray suit, brimmed cap, and sporting mutton chop sideburns. All

1558
01:29:19.479 --> 01:29:21.960
the guards could do was stare at the ghostly figure

1559
01:29:22.000 --> 01:29:25.279
and shock. Before they had a chance to move quote,

1560
01:29:25.520 --> 01:29:28.800
the room suddenly turned very cold, and the fire in

1561
01:29:28.840 --> 01:29:32.840
the Ben Franklin stove was extinguished, And just as suddenly

1562
01:29:33.399 --> 01:29:41.079
as he had appeared, the phantom vanished. Okay, so is

1563
01:29:41.079 --> 01:29:42.000
that a chilling tail?

1564
01:29:43.279 --> 01:29:43.880
That was it?

1565
01:29:44.520 --> 01:29:49.680
That was it? Sid, I'm just reading No, damn hateful,

1566
01:29:49.760 --> 01:29:55.680
Michelle is hateful. Thirteen percent of people agreed with you. Okay, brutal.

1567
01:29:56.159 --> 01:29:58.079
I'm sorry. That was like nothing. It was like, oh,

1568
01:29:58.119 --> 01:30:00.279
they saw a thing and it got cold.

1569
01:30:01.279 --> 01:30:05.239
Come on, well, this next one takes us to Canada.

1570
01:30:06.880 --> 01:30:10.920
A Christmas ghost is said to haunt Bastion Square in Victoria,

1571
01:30:10.960 --> 01:30:17.560
British Columbia. On December twenty fifth, eighteen ninety, a disturbing

1572
01:30:17.600 --> 01:30:20.479
story appeared on the front page of a Victoria newspaper,

1573
01:30:20.760 --> 01:30:25.119
The Daily Colonist, quote, just as the clock was striking midnight,

1574
01:30:25.239 --> 01:30:29.640
ushering in the joyous Christmas Day, A misdeed as dark, cowardly,

1575
01:30:29.720 --> 01:30:33.039
and mysterious as ever disfigured the history of this province,

1576
01:30:35.119 --> 01:30:38.399
as ever disfigured the history of this province, and was

1577
01:30:39.159 --> 01:30:45.640
perpetuated or weird phrasing most eighteen ninety. The target, who

1578
01:30:45.680 --> 01:30:48.520
went by the name of David Fee, was only twenty

1579
01:30:48.560 --> 01:30:51.039
one years old and had been walking to meet his

1580
01:30:51.159 --> 01:30:54.399
parents for evening Mass at the nearby church after attending

1581
01:30:54.399 --> 01:30:58.119
a costume party. Dressed up in a white clown costume,

1582
01:30:58.399 --> 01:31:00.600
Fee had just arrived at the court corner where the

1583
01:31:00.600 --> 01:31:03.560
cathedral sat when a man burst out from the shadows

1584
01:31:03.560 --> 01:31:06.479
and aimed a double barrel directly at him. The man

1585
01:31:06.560 --> 01:31:13.439
simply said, you challenged me whoa before Fee could speak

1586
01:31:13.720 --> 01:31:17.680
the man fired and Fee perished within moments. Apparently the

1587
01:31:17.720 --> 01:31:20.880
man had confused Fee for another man in a hollow

1588
01:31:21.000 --> 01:31:22.960
or in a clown costume.

1589
01:31:23.479 --> 01:31:23.920
I guess.

1590
01:31:23.920 --> 01:31:28.840
So Ever, since that tragic night, Fee's ghost is rumored

1591
01:31:28.840 --> 01:31:32.479
to rome the streets outside the cathedral, as well as

1592
01:31:32.520 --> 01:31:37.239
his grave site. What do you think of that one?

1593
01:31:37.760 --> 01:31:40.239
I guess that was whatever?

1594
01:31:41.039 --> 01:31:41.399
Chilling?

1595
01:31:41.760 --> 01:31:47.239
Chilling? Well, I just tale, yeah, I guess I'm just

1596
01:31:47.239 --> 01:31:48.720
feeling bad for that kid.

1597
01:31:49.520 --> 01:31:55.319
Eighty six percent of people agreed with us, all right.

1598
01:31:55.439 --> 01:31:58.520
Annie Bolin is said to return to her child at

1599
01:31:58.520 --> 01:32:04.079
home every Christmas. Heaver Castle, which is nestled deep in

1600
01:32:04.119 --> 01:32:06.960
the British countryside of Kent, was once home of the

1601
01:32:06.960 --> 01:32:10.000
Bolan family. Anne Bolan, the most well known member of

1602
01:32:10.000 --> 01:32:12.600
the family, lived the early part of her life there

1603
01:32:12.640 --> 01:32:16.840
before she married King Henry the six eight.

1604
01:32:17.840 --> 01:32:20.720
Oh no it's Roman numerals black.

1605
01:32:22.319 --> 01:32:25.399
Within a few short years of her marriage, however, Anne

1606
01:32:25.560 --> 01:32:29.039
was targeted by descent and gossip within the castle, accusing

1607
01:32:29.079 --> 01:32:33.439
her of everything from witchcraft to adultery. It would be

1608
01:32:33.439 --> 01:32:35.279
better if it was adultery to witchcraft, because that's a

1609
01:32:35.359 --> 01:32:41.159
to w know. Eventually, her husband formally accused her of

1610
01:32:41.199 --> 01:32:47.479
these charges, and she was ultimately executed. Whether she suffers

1611
01:32:47.520 --> 01:32:51.680
from heartbreak or homesickness. Anne Bolan's spirit is said to

1612
01:32:51.680 --> 01:32:55.760
haunt the halls of her child at home, Heaver Castle. However,

1613
01:32:55.800 --> 01:32:59.720
she is allegedly only However, she allegedly only appears on

1614
01:32:59.720 --> 01:33:07.159
one day of the year, Christmas Eve. Okay, fine, I

1615
01:33:07.159 --> 01:33:11.000
thought that was creepy. Rumors persist that her quote somber

1616
01:33:11.159 --> 01:33:14.920
specter is seen drifting silently over the picturesque bridge that

1617
01:33:15.039 --> 01:33:18.000
spans the River Eden in the grounds of the home

1618
01:33:18.319 --> 01:33:25.199
where she knew much happiness. Yeah, so I'm guessing you

1619
01:33:25.199 --> 01:33:26.439
don't find that one chilling at all.

1620
01:33:26.800 --> 01:33:32.760
Actually, the image of her somber spirit drifting over that

1621
01:33:32.920 --> 01:33:36.039
bridge is actually kind of chilling.

1622
01:33:36.720 --> 01:33:39.239
Oh so that's a chilling.

1623
01:33:39.439 --> 01:33:40.560
Sure, I don't care.

1624
01:33:40.800 --> 01:33:44.560
Sure eighty four percent of people agree with you.

1625
01:33:45.119 --> 01:33:47.000
Okay ooh.

1626
01:33:47.159 --> 01:33:54.680
A slain highwayman supposedly reappears each Christmas Eve in England.

1627
01:33:54.760 --> 01:33:58.439
One particularly twisted ghost story hearkens back to a tragic

1628
01:33:58.479 --> 01:34:02.199
event that occurred on Chrissmiths Eve in the late eighteenth century.

1629
01:34:03.239 --> 01:34:05.960
According to legend, there was once a fearsome high woman

1630
01:34:06.439 --> 01:34:09.920
known only as Gilbert, who would wander up and down

1631
01:34:10.159 --> 01:34:13.399
one of the town's main roads. One evening the night

1632
01:34:13.439 --> 01:34:16.079
before Christmas, a man and his daughter were traveling in

1633
01:34:16.119 --> 01:34:19.560
a horse drawn coach when Gilbert apprehended them. The daughter

1634
01:34:19.680 --> 01:34:22.039
was able to exit the coach, but before her father

1635
01:34:22.079 --> 01:34:26.359
could disembark, the horses became startled and bolted down the

1636
01:34:26.439 --> 01:34:30.720
road with the man and his coachman in tow. The

1637
01:34:30.760 --> 01:34:33.560
two men struggled to get the horses back under control

1638
01:34:33.720 --> 01:34:35.840
so they could go back and find the man's daughter,

1639
01:34:36.159 --> 01:34:40.079
who had been left behind with Gilbert. However, when they

1640
01:34:40.159 --> 01:34:45.079
arrived back at the scene, she was nowhere to be found. Instead,

1641
01:34:45.520 --> 01:34:48.279
they saw Gilbert hunched over on the ground with a

1642
01:34:48.399 --> 01:34:53.000
dagger in his side. Rumor claims that once the coach

1643
01:34:53.079 --> 01:34:56.119
took off down the road, Gilbert revealed to the girl

1644
01:34:56.199 --> 01:34:58.520
that he was the one who took her brother's life

1645
01:34:58.560 --> 01:35:02.560
some time before. Thrown into a rage by the revelation,

1646
01:35:03.119 --> 01:35:07.880
she stabbed him and fled the scene. Local legends say

1647
01:35:08.199 --> 01:35:10.520
that Gilbert was buried by the side of the road,

1648
01:35:11.000 --> 01:35:14.239
and every Christmas Eve he can be seen wandering that

1649
01:35:14.399 --> 01:35:17.199
same road, waiting for the coach with the man and

1650
01:35:17.239 --> 01:35:19.960
his daughter to pass by again.

1651
01:35:22.119 --> 01:35:24.159
I don't know it's just is very convoluted.

1652
01:35:25.039 --> 01:35:27.960
There's a lot of moving parts on that one.

1653
01:35:28.279 --> 01:35:31.319
Yeah, I don't know, man, why did she have a dagger?

1654
01:35:32.000 --> 01:35:34.600
I don't know, because high women rob you all the time, though,

1655
01:35:34.640 --> 01:35:37.000
I guess that actually kind of answers itself.

1656
01:35:39.520 --> 01:35:42.279
I don't know. Ooh oh.

1657
01:35:42.760 --> 01:35:46.720
This one takes place in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Oh, okay, I

1658
01:35:46.760 --> 01:35:51.279
love Bethlehem. A spectral socialite is said to sing Christmas

1659
01:35:51.359 --> 01:35:53.439
carols at the Hotel Bethlehem I've stayed.

1660
01:35:55.520 --> 01:35:57.920
Yeah, it's a.

1661
01:35:57.680 --> 01:35:59.159
Really, really nice hotel.

1662
01:35:59.439 --> 01:36:00.159
It is nice.

1663
01:36:00.600 --> 01:36:04.039
Hotel Bethlehem, located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, is home to a

1664
01:36:04.159 --> 01:36:07.239
number of chilling ghost stories, not the least of which

1665
01:36:07.279 --> 01:36:10.520
centers around a young girl named Mary Yo Born in

1666
01:36:10.560 --> 01:36:14.520
eighteen sixty six, Mary or May was raised on the stage,

1667
01:36:14.600 --> 01:36:18.000
inspiring within her a love for singing and performing. From

1668
01:36:18.039 --> 01:36:21.399
a young age, her talent gained her much attention, and

1669
01:36:21.479 --> 01:36:25.199
eventually she found herself performing with great success on stages

1670
01:36:25.239 --> 01:36:28.680
in Paris and throughout Europe. She even caught the attention

1671
01:36:28.760 --> 01:36:31.439
of a wealthy lord, who quickly married her and made

1672
01:36:31.479 --> 01:36:37.000
her a member of the British aristocracy. Tragically, her success

1673
01:36:37.159 --> 01:36:40.279
led to led her down a dangerous path. Her marriage

1674
01:36:40.319 --> 01:36:42.560
fell apart after the lord who swept her off her

1675
01:36:42.560 --> 01:36:46.520
feet went bankrupt and she went to She went on

1676
01:36:46.680 --> 01:36:49.840
to marry an American soldier who robbed her of much

1677
01:36:49.880 --> 01:36:53.920
of her wealth. I like how she was rich, so

1678
01:36:54.000 --> 01:36:55.520
then when her husband went broke, she just went and

1679
01:36:55.560 --> 01:36:56.439
found another husband.

1680
01:36:56.760 --> 01:37:00.000
Yeah exactly, yeah. Yeah.

1681
01:37:00.199 --> 01:37:03.840
At the time of her eventual passing, reports claimed that

1682
01:37:03.920 --> 01:37:07.119
she recalled her years in Bethlehem as the best of

1683
01:37:07.159 --> 01:37:11.560
her life. To this day, the Hotel Bethlehem's visitors claimed

1684
01:37:11.560 --> 01:37:14.760
to see apparitions of a young may Yo dressed in

1685
01:37:14.800 --> 01:37:18.520
elegant attire and either singing at the paid patio, either

1686
01:37:18.560 --> 01:37:22.680
singing at the piano, or pacing next to the Christmas tree.

1687
01:37:22.840 --> 01:37:26.079
Some even claim to have heard her faint but recognizable

1688
01:37:26.159 --> 01:37:28.840
voice singing one of her favorite songs.

1689
01:37:29.520 --> 01:37:32.680
They would recognize her voice well.

1690
01:37:32.479 --> 01:37:35.319
When it start singing. The wheels on the bus go round,

1691
01:37:35.359 --> 01:37:40.079
then round, round, then round. It's extra creepy because buses

1692
01:37:40.079 --> 01:37:41.079
didn't exist yet.

1693
01:37:41.520 --> 01:37:44.079
Yeah.

1694
01:37:44.119 --> 01:37:45.960
Well, we're gonna take a quick break and then we'll

1695
01:37:46.000 --> 01:37:48.800
do one more, a little bit more of these lists,

1696
01:37:48.840 --> 01:37:51.479
and then we're gonna jump into our goodbyes and such

1697
01:37:51.720 --> 01:37:54.399
or something like that. I was really thrown off by

1698
01:37:54.439 --> 01:37:58.000
thinking it was patio when it was piano. Oh, I

1699
01:37:58.079 --> 01:38:01.520
read out loud, way too much. We'll be right back,

1700
01:38:09.039 --> 01:38:11.720
And we are back with a few more of Rankers'

1701
01:38:12.319 --> 01:38:17.079
best ghost stories involving Christmas. This one is called the

1702
01:38:17.520 --> 01:38:20.159
is referred to as the raucous Revelers who are said

1703
01:38:20.199 --> 01:38:24.399
to ring in the season at the Crescent Hotel, Okay.

1704
01:38:25.479 --> 01:38:29.680
The Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, is by far

1705
01:38:29.760 --> 01:38:32.560
one of the most notoriously haunted hotels in the US.

1706
01:38:32.960 --> 01:38:36.000
Located in the northern border of Arkansas near the Ozark

1707
01:38:36.079 --> 01:38:39.479
National Forest, the hotel has been plagued by tragedy and

1708
01:38:39.520 --> 01:38:42.760
ghost stories since it was first erected in eighteen eighty.

1709
01:38:43.840 --> 01:38:44.319
Wow.

1710
01:38:46.000 --> 01:38:48.479
Yeah, people, I guess wasted no time in dying.

1711
01:38:48.239 --> 01:38:49.239
There, I guess.

1712
01:38:49.279 --> 01:38:49.359
So.

1713
01:38:49.720 --> 01:38:50.960
Yeah.

1714
01:38:51.039 --> 01:38:54.279
While there are different legends and ghostly sightings associated with

1715
01:38:54.319 --> 01:38:58.239
almost every square inch of the hotel's estate, that's a

1716
01:38:58.239 --> 01:39:03.600
lot one story can used to astonish visitors to this day. Allegedly,

1717
01:39:03.720 --> 01:39:07.039
one year, during Christmas time, visitors came to view the

1718
01:39:07.079 --> 01:39:11.960
hotel's Christmas tree only to find that quote the Christmas

1719
01:39:12.000 --> 01:39:15.760
tree in all its packages were mysteriously moved to the

1720
01:39:15.800 --> 01:39:21.640
other side of the room. Oh okay, This could have

1721
01:39:21.680 --> 01:39:25.600
been a prank staged by the hotel staff or a visitor. However,

1722
01:39:25.640 --> 01:39:29.479
the occurrence was accompanied by sightings of various phantom spirits

1723
01:39:29.720 --> 01:39:34.079
dressed in Victorian era clothing, wandering aimlessly around the hotel's

1724
01:39:34.119 --> 01:39:34.680
dining room.

1725
01:39:35.760 --> 01:39:36.119
Hummm.

1726
01:39:37.039 --> 01:39:39.800
Some said the spirits appeared to be playful, and they

1727
01:39:39.840 --> 01:39:42.840
moved the gifts and furniture across the room as a joke.

1728
01:39:43.800 --> 01:39:47.600
This was seemingly confirmed when the hotel staff reportedly returned

1729
01:39:47.600 --> 01:39:50.640
the next day, only to find that everything was back

1730
01:39:51.039 --> 01:39:52.680
exactly where it was supposed to be.

1731
01:39:55.119 --> 01:40:00.079
Okay, I don't know. Maybe there were some drugs in.

1732
01:40:00.680 --> 01:40:03.479
I'm there's a lot of stuff going on here. There's

1733
01:40:03.520 --> 01:40:07.600
just spirits hanging around. Maybe they seem playful. Maybe maybe

1734
01:40:07.600 --> 01:40:10.199
they moved an entire tree in presence. I don't know.

1735
01:40:11.720 --> 01:40:13.319
So do you find that one? You sound like you're

1736
01:40:13.359 --> 01:40:14.279
not chilled by that one?

1737
01:40:14.479 --> 01:40:15.039
No, I'm not.

1738
01:40:16.279 --> 01:40:21.359
Damn, that's hateful, all right, No chill. Twenty two percent

1739
01:40:21.399 --> 01:40:22.439
of people agree with you.

1740
01:40:22.920 --> 01:40:26.439
Yeah, I know, but's not a lot of people.

1741
01:40:28.359 --> 01:40:30.800
All right, This next one, maybe this one will redeem itself.

1742
01:40:31.079 --> 01:40:34.119
The ghosts of Poland's kings are said to gather in

1743
01:40:34.159 --> 01:40:36.319
a dragon's den on Christmas Eve.

1744
01:40:37.119 --> 01:40:37.600
Okay.

1745
01:40:38.680 --> 01:40:42.159
In the middle of Krackow, Poland sits the Wawell Castle,

1746
01:40:42.800 --> 01:40:45.439
which for centuries served as the home of each of

1747
01:40:45.479 --> 01:40:48.880
Poland's kings after it was built in the early Middle Ages.

1748
01:40:49.720 --> 01:40:52.800
Since this time, it has been associated with numerous legends

1749
01:40:52.800 --> 01:40:56.800
and ghost stories spanning as far back as the prehistoric era.

1750
01:40:58.760 --> 01:41:01.520
What what?

1751
01:41:02.039 --> 01:41:05.319
How are their legends and ghost stories from the prehistoric era?

1752
01:41:08.600 --> 01:41:16.560
Maybe they're like we saw dinosaur and we know that

1753
01:41:16.560 --> 01:41:20.720
that dinosaur was killed by the meteor.

1754
01:41:23.039 --> 01:41:26.239
One such legend involves a large series of caves that

1755
01:41:26.279 --> 01:41:29.239
are rumored to exist under a plot nearby of nearby

1756
01:41:29.319 --> 01:41:33.479
land known as Wawell Hill. These caves have been explored

1757
01:41:33.520 --> 01:41:36.680
countless times since they were discovered centuries ago, and they're

1758
01:41:36.760 --> 01:41:39.720
rumored to hold quote, a statue of a dragon and

1759
01:41:39.760 --> 01:41:45.399
a millennia of human record. The caves are believed to

1760
01:41:45.560 --> 01:41:49.600
have been inhabited by humans since the prehistoric era. Okay,

1761
01:41:50.560 --> 01:41:52.119
that's a stretch, but all right.

1762
01:41:52.680 --> 01:41:53.119
Sure.

1763
01:41:54.600 --> 01:41:57.239
The legend says that the eleventh in the eleventh century,

1764
01:41:57.319 --> 01:42:00.399
King Casimir, who was just a child at the time

1765
01:42:00.479 --> 01:42:04.039
explored these caves and came across a strange tunnel. Inside

1766
01:42:04.039 --> 01:42:06.279
the tunnel, he claimed to have found a large stone

1767
01:42:06.279 --> 01:42:09.800
emitting a glowing light, and from this light, a magical

1768
01:42:09.840 --> 01:42:14.159
protective energy is said to be emitted throughout to this day.

1769
01:42:14.359 --> 01:42:17.920
Local legends claim that the ghosts of all of Poland's

1770
01:42:17.920 --> 01:42:21.640
passed King's meet every Christmas Eve in that very tunnel

1771
01:42:21.840 --> 01:42:27.239
to confer upon the fate of Krackow. Why oh for

1772
01:42:27.359 --> 01:42:28.119
the wulls.

1773
01:42:28.560 --> 01:42:30.680
I don't know, man, I didn't get any real evidence

1774
01:42:30.680 --> 01:42:32.800
that they meet in this tunnel with this glowing rock.

1775
01:42:32.840 --> 01:42:34.239
It's probably just normal rock.

1776
01:42:36.359 --> 01:42:39.119
Yeah, I don't know about that one.

1777
01:42:39.479 --> 01:42:41.840
So no, chill, no, no chill.

1778
01:42:42.039 --> 01:42:43.920
I would agree on that one. Twenty six percent of

1779
01:42:43.920 --> 01:42:45.159
people agreed with us.

1780
01:42:45.479 --> 01:42:46.880
Finally, more than a quarter.

1781
01:42:47.399 --> 01:42:56.720
We did it. Oh boy, oh that was it.

1782
01:42:57.359 --> 01:42:58.079
Oh yeah.

1783
01:42:59.520 --> 01:43:01.800
I thought that the next button would take us to more,

1784
01:43:01.880 --> 01:43:03.960
but no, that would It took me to another article.

1785
01:43:04.000 --> 01:43:05.640
That's why I was like what when I was reading?

1786
01:43:06.920 --> 01:43:09.159
But that was pretty pretty good. I mean most of

1787
01:43:09.159 --> 01:43:11.439
those were good. I think it had a good hit

1788
01:43:11.520 --> 01:43:16.319
to miss ratio r. Yeah, so well, now you know,

1789
01:43:16.520 --> 01:43:18.119
and knowing is half the battle.

1790
01:43:19.239 --> 01:43:21.840
So I can't do. But that's not very much, and

1791
01:43:21.880 --> 01:43:22.800
I don't know the rest.

1792
01:43:24.760 --> 01:43:28.199
Gi Joe. Well, before we take a break and come

1793
01:43:28.239 --> 01:43:30.520
back and wrap up the show, I did want to

1794
01:43:30.560 --> 01:43:33.319
mention I did something I've been putting off for a

1795
01:43:33.399 --> 01:43:35.680
really long time that I'm very excited about, Michelle.

1796
01:43:36.119 --> 01:43:39.079
Really, I bought.

1797
01:43:38.399 --> 01:43:41.760
A real legitimate Santa hat.

1798
01:43:42.880 --> 01:43:44.640
Oh, I don't know what this means.

1799
01:43:45.319 --> 01:43:47.840
I bought so Santa's clothes are from like a specific

1800
01:43:47.920 --> 01:43:51.119
time period, the ones that he's drawn in. I bought

1801
01:43:51.159 --> 01:43:54.199
like a legitimate hat made exactly the way they were

1802
01:43:54.199 --> 01:43:58.600
made back then, with fox fur and felt and everything.

1803
01:43:58.720 --> 01:44:00.239
From Ukraine of all places.

1804
01:44:00.479 --> 01:44:01.119
Wow.

1805
01:44:01.600 --> 01:44:04.239
Yeah, apparently they have a lot of winter foxes, so

1806
01:44:04.279 --> 01:44:07.000
it's a very popular place to make those kinds of

1807
01:44:07.000 --> 01:44:10.600
hats now. So I ordered one and it should be here,

1808
01:44:10.720 --> 01:44:13.479
and it's shipped already, so it should be here in

1809
01:44:13.600 --> 01:44:14.560
two weeks or less.

1810
01:44:14.920 --> 01:44:16.439
Okay, that's pretty cool.

1811
01:44:16.720 --> 01:44:18.680
I've always wanted a really good Santa hat, and I

1812
01:44:18.760 --> 01:44:22.800
used to buy like, you know, expensive, you know, fake ones,

1813
01:44:22.920 --> 01:44:25.800
I mean, like kind of traditional one nowadays, and they

1814
01:44:25.800 --> 01:44:28.359
were always they like, they always left something to be desired.

1815
01:44:28.359 --> 01:44:30.439
They never were that fluffy yeor they never felt like

1816
01:44:30.640 --> 01:44:34.239
they were worth like sixty dollars, you know, yeah, I'd

1817
01:44:34.279 --> 01:44:35.479
be like, why don't I just stick with like an

1818
01:44:35.479 --> 01:44:38.119
eight dollar when you buy at the grocery store. Then yeah,

1819
01:44:38.159 --> 01:44:39.880
So this year I was like, I want to buy

1820
01:44:39.960 --> 01:44:45.119
a legitimate fur Santa hat. Yeah, so I'm really excited

1821
01:44:45.439 --> 01:44:49.239
cool to have it. Then the next step is buy

1822
01:44:49.279 --> 01:44:51.720
a full fur Santa suit, and then I can become

1823
01:44:51.880 --> 01:44:56.199
just like the guy in Christmas Evil. Yeah. Yeah, it's

1824
01:44:56.239 --> 01:44:59.000
my favorite movie. I love that movie so much.

1825
01:44:59.479 --> 01:45:00.520
It's good movie.

1826
01:45:00.920 --> 01:45:03.239
Well you I'm sure you enjoyed half for just being

1827
01:45:03.279 --> 01:45:05.199
able to see like New York and Jersey in the

1828
01:45:05.239 --> 01:45:07.359
seventies because they show like a ton of New York

1829
01:45:07.359 --> 01:45:11.199
and Jersey. Yeah, it's very New York and Jersey heavy.

1830
01:45:11.600 --> 01:45:13.960
But that movie just speaks to me. It's a character

1831
01:45:14.000 --> 01:45:17.319
study about a person who's like, you know, deeply troubled.

1832
01:45:17.319 --> 01:45:20.560
It's not really so, it's about somebody who's like who

1833
01:45:20.600 --> 01:45:23.239
tries to legitimately become Santa Claus and how terrifying that

1834
01:45:23.279 --> 01:45:26.199
would actually be to actually be Santa. I love that

1835
01:45:26.239 --> 01:45:28.199
movie Christmas Evil. If you haven't seen it, guys, you

1836
01:45:28.239 --> 01:45:30.760
need to watch it. It's great. I love it so much.

1837
01:45:30.760 --> 01:45:33.680
I sent Michelle a copy. Yeah, so you need to

1838
01:45:33.680 --> 01:45:36.079
watch this, and she was like, Okay, I'm sorry, I

1839
01:45:36.119 --> 01:45:41.479
will please stop. So, but that's a damn good movie

1840
01:45:41.479 --> 01:45:43.079
and it stars Fiona Apple's dad.

1841
01:45:43.960 --> 01:45:44.760
That's pretty cool.

1842
01:45:45.439 --> 01:45:48.479
Yeah, I suppose so. So well, we're gonna take a

1843
01:45:48.520 --> 01:45:51.760
quick break and we'll wrap up with some scary stories

1844
01:45:51.760 --> 01:45:54.920
from Reddit, some horror media I've looked at, and what

1845
01:45:55.000 --> 01:45:57.159
I'm looking forward to as far as having a scary

1846
01:45:57.239 --> 01:46:09.039
Christmas right after this, and we are back wrapping up

1847
01:46:09.079 --> 01:46:14.560
this December two or December November twenty twenty four episode

1848
01:46:14.680 --> 01:46:17.000
of Monthly Spooky. I got ahead of myself a little

1849
01:46:17.000 --> 01:46:20.520
bit and I wanted to mention a few things I've

1850
01:46:20.520 --> 01:46:23.960
seen in the theater horror wise that I really enjoyed.

1851
01:46:24.479 --> 01:46:28.239
The first one is I saw a Smile Part two, Yeah,

1852
01:46:28.279 --> 01:46:32.199
which the sequel to Smile Part one, obviously, and I

1853
01:46:32.279 --> 01:46:35.560
have to say, I dare say it's almost a better

1854
01:46:35.560 --> 01:46:37.960
film than Part one. Like it was definitely a really

1855
01:46:38.000 --> 01:46:41.279
fun movie. I was not expecting to be like completely

1856
01:46:42.319 --> 01:46:45.479
invested and just love it, but Smile Too was really

1857
01:46:45.520 --> 01:46:49.600
really good good. I really enjoyed the hell out of it,

1858
01:46:50.159 --> 01:46:55.039
and It's basically there's this illness that's spread by somebody

1859
01:46:55.159 --> 01:46:59.399
smiling at you and then killing themselves, like they're haunted

1860
01:46:59.479 --> 01:47:03.520
by these apparitions that make them go crazy and eventually

1861
01:47:03.520 --> 01:47:07.119
trick you into killing yourself. Is basically the gag and

1862
01:47:07.319 --> 01:47:11.439
the moment that the smile demon or whatever wins it

1863
01:47:12.039 --> 01:47:14.119
will look at the person nearest by and give this

1864
01:47:14.159 --> 01:47:17.319
like terrifying grin and then kill themselves in some way,

1865
01:47:17.680 --> 01:47:20.119
and then that passes the smile illness onto you.

1866
01:47:20.680 --> 01:47:20.960
Wow.

1867
01:47:21.479 --> 01:47:24.079
So in this one, the smile illness gets passed on

1868
01:47:24.119 --> 01:47:29.319
to like a a drug recovering pop star who was

1869
01:47:29.359 --> 01:47:32.520
in a year earlier, was in like a horrible car

1870
01:47:32.520 --> 01:47:36.039
accident where her boyfriend died. Oh so now she's like

1871
01:47:36.119 --> 01:47:38.359
in horrible pain but can't have pain killers because she

1872
01:47:38.399 --> 01:47:41.239
has a history of drug abuse, and then she starts

1873
01:47:41.279 --> 01:47:44.159
being haunted by all these eerie visions of smiling people.

1874
01:47:45.920 --> 01:47:50.039
Very good. I really enjoyed it cool. And the other

1875
01:47:50.079 --> 01:47:53.479
film I saw was Heretic or The Heretic, either one.

1876
01:47:53.479 --> 01:47:57.479
They're all good, but this one really surprised me how

1877
01:47:57.600 --> 01:48:01.119
damn good it was. It stars Hugh Grant as an

1878
01:48:01.279 --> 01:48:05.960
older gentleman who basically traps these two Mormon missionaries in

1879
01:48:05.960 --> 01:48:08.159
his house so he can debate theology with them.

1880
01:48:08.600 --> 01:48:08.920
Wow.

1881
01:48:10.119 --> 01:48:13.680
Yeah, but it goes crazy, It gets really really wild.

1882
01:48:13.760 --> 01:48:15.479
But the first half of the movie is just him

1883
01:48:15.520 --> 01:48:18.319
like pointing out, like your religion is basically a lie,

1884
01:48:18.479 --> 01:48:21.600
it's basically a cult. And he does this really great

1885
01:48:21.640 --> 01:48:26.119
thing where he points out like there was the Landlord's

1886
01:48:26.159 --> 01:48:30.359
Game compared to Monopoly, compared to like a different version

1887
01:48:30.359 --> 01:48:32.319
of Monopoly that's out now, and he basically says that

1888
01:48:32.359 --> 01:48:36.079
like that's Judaism, Christianity, and islam m which I thought

1889
01:48:36.119 --> 01:48:39.239
was really funny. But because Landlord's Game was basically ripped

1890
01:48:39.239 --> 01:48:43.119
off and turned into Monopoly, Okay, so but yeah, I

1891
01:48:43.119 --> 01:48:45.279
thought that was really funny. But then the girls start

1892
01:48:45.319 --> 01:48:47.600
like fighting back, and you realize that they're not stupid,

1893
01:48:47.640 --> 01:48:50.239
and that they're not religious because they're scared or their

1894
01:48:50.279 --> 01:48:54.479
parents made them. They're actually people who can think for themselves.

1895
01:48:55.000 --> 01:48:58.279
It's really really good. I enjoyed the hell out of it.

1896
01:48:58.359 --> 01:49:01.479
I thought it was scary and sup bnsful. I'll probably

1897
01:49:01.479 --> 01:49:04.000
go see it again on Monday when this is airing,

1898
01:49:04.319 --> 01:49:05.920
because I want to see it with Rachel because I

1899
01:49:05.920 --> 01:49:09.920
think she'll really enjoy all the epistemological debate that happens

1900
01:49:09.960 --> 01:49:12.920
in it. He basically Q Grant's basically playing like an

1901
01:49:13.000 --> 01:49:16.560
evil Richard Dawkins who's just like, clearly religion's not real,

1902
01:49:16.640 --> 01:49:19.399
blah blah blah blah blah. Anyway I might be a murderer.

1903
01:49:19.439 --> 01:49:22.000
You have to figure that out. There's basically a whole

1904
01:49:22.000 --> 01:49:23.760
thing where he says like where he's like, you can

1905
01:49:23.800 --> 01:49:26.119
go out through the back door. This doesn't spoil anything.

1906
01:49:26.119 --> 01:49:27.079
He's like, you can go out through the back door.

1907
01:49:27.119 --> 01:49:29.920
But there are two back doors, and they're like, well,

1908
01:49:29.920 --> 01:49:31.399
which one do we go through? And he's like, well,

1909
01:49:31.920 --> 01:49:35.319
I don't know. I mean, can anyone really know which

1910
01:49:35.359 --> 01:49:39.199
door takes you where you want to go. I'm pretty

1911
01:49:39.199 --> 01:49:41.000
certain one of them takes you out the front and

1912
01:49:41.039 --> 01:49:42.960
the other one I'm not sure where it goes. And

1913
01:49:43.000 --> 01:49:45.079
he's like, would you like a hint? And they're like sure,

1914
01:49:45.319 --> 01:49:48.680
And he's like, well, I think this door is the one,

1915
01:49:48.680 --> 01:49:50.159
but the only way to know is to go through it.

1916
01:49:50.319 --> 01:49:53.039
So I couldn't sell tell you for sure because I

1917
01:49:53.079 --> 01:49:55.680
can't go through it. So and I was like, ah,

1918
01:49:55.720 --> 01:49:57.880
I see oh. And he keeps referencing his wife and

1919
01:49:57.920 --> 01:49:59.720
it becomes clear that his wife, like they'd be like

1920
01:49:59.720 --> 01:50:01.439
who this house, He'd be like, my wife because you

1921
01:50:01.479 --> 01:50:03.359
never see her. He keeps saying that there's a wife,

1922
01:50:03.359 --> 01:50:04.920
but they never get to see her. And I was like, oh,

1923
01:50:04.920 --> 01:50:08.800
that's a really clever kind of like metaphor for people

1924
01:50:08.800 --> 01:50:10.600
who just say God did it, God did it, God

1925
01:50:10.640 --> 01:50:12.920
did it. He just keeps saying like my because eventually

1926
01:50:12.920 --> 01:50:14.439
it becomes like, my wife built this whole house, my

1927
01:50:14.479 --> 01:50:16.840
wife designed this, my wife did all this stuff. But

1928
01:50:16.880 --> 01:50:19.079
at first it's just like, oh, she made a pie, Well,

1929
01:50:19.079 --> 01:50:21.680
can we have the pie when it's ready, Like I'll

1930
01:50:21.720 --> 01:50:23.239
ask her, And then he keeps coming back and never

1931
01:50:23.279 --> 01:50:25.760
having the pie. It's a it's a really fun movie.

1932
01:50:25.800 --> 01:50:26.680
I really enjoyed it.

1933
01:50:26.760 --> 01:50:27.279
So cool.

1934
01:50:28.239 --> 01:50:30.600
But yeah, so I highly recommend seeing The Heretic in

1935
01:50:30.640 --> 01:50:34.119
the theater. Cell. Did you find anything creepy on the Reddit?

1936
01:50:35.079 --> 01:50:36.760
Yeah? I have. I have one thing that I could

1937
01:50:36.800 --> 01:50:41.960
share if I can paraphrase it correctly. So there's this dude, right,

1938
01:50:42.479 --> 01:50:46.359
and he works at a place as people do, right,

1939
01:50:46.479 --> 01:50:49.239
and he has like he always goes to this coffee

1940
01:50:49.239 --> 01:50:52.560
shop when he takes a break at two o'clock and

1941
01:50:52.960 --> 01:50:56.239
like every day so the burista like even knows who

1942
01:50:56.319 --> 01:50:58.680
he is, and he knows the borista's name. His name

1943
01:50:58.720 --> 01:51:01.119
is the Borusu's name might be Tom, I don't remember.

1944
01:51:01.359 --> 01:51:06.039
And so one day he is running late a little bit,

1945
01:51:06.760 --> 01:51:09.359
you know, because I don't know why he didn't. So

1946
01:51:09.439 --> 01:51:12.840
he goes down to leave the office at two fifteen

1947
01:51:12.880 --> 01:51:15.279
and said two you know, no big deal. But he

1948
01:51:15.319 --> 01:51:17.439
also realizes he doesn't have his key card. He left

1949
01:51:17.439 --> 01:51:19.840
it upstairs in the office. So he talks to the

1950
01:51:20.199 --> 01:51:21.840
person at the front desk who knows him, and it's like,

1951
01:51:21.880 --> 01:51:24.319
it's cool, just like sign in and I'll remember when

1952
01:51:24.359 --> 01:51:27.439
you come back. So he goes out to the coffee shop,

1953
01:51:27.760 --> 01:51:32.920
and as he is approaching the coffee shop, he I guess,

1954
01:51:33.039 --> 01:51:38.640
looks in the window and he sees himself getting some

1955
01:51:38.760 --> 01:51:44.039
coffee and he's just like, what so like wearing the

1956
01:51:44.079 --> 01:51:46.439
same clothes and everything. So he just turns around and

1957
01:51:46.439 --> 01:51:48.119
goes back and he's like, I'm just getting a coffee

1958
01:51:48.159 --> 01:51:50.399
because I don't know what the fuck that was. He

1959
01:51:50.439 --> 01:51:54.199
goes back and when he gets back, he's probably having

1960
01:51:54.199 --> 01:51:57.119
some sort of psychotic break. He gets back and he

1961
01:51:57.279 --> 01:52:00.159
in his bag. I guess he has like a Uh.

1962
01:52:00.680 --> 01:52:02.600
He had to explain this to people because they asked.

1963
01:52:02.760 --> 01:52:05.079
He's got like a like a drink holder in his bag.

1964
01:52:05.079 --> 01:52:07.319
I don't know what kind of bagasses, and there's coffee

1965
01:52:07.359 --> 01:52:13.800
in there that he absolutely ordered, I guess. And so

1966
01:52:13.880 --> 01:52:16.800
he's like, what the fuck happened? Who am i? Am

1967
01:52:16.800 --> 01:52:18.560
I the person who've got coffee? Or am I the

1968
01:52:18.600 --> 01:52:21.840
person who watched myself get coffee? And he like went

1969
01:52:21.880 --> 01:52:24.520
to the front desk to ask the lady, like when

1970
01:52:24.560 --> 01:52:26.640
time did I like come down here? And she remembered,

1971
01:52:26.840 --> 01:52:28.560
but she said she thought it was at two o'clock.

1972
01:52:28.920 --> 01:52:32.600
And then the next day he went to the coffee

1973
01:52:32.600 --> 01:52:35.239
shop like normal at two o'clock and he talked to

1974
01:52:35.279 --> 01:52:37.159
his barista, and his brista was like, oh, I didn't

1975
01:52:37.199 --> 01:52:41.720
see yesterday what happened? So we have no idea what's

1976
01:52:41.760 --> 01:52:42.319
going on?

1977
01:52:44.520 --> 01:52:46.880
Oh? What are what are the popular theories?

1978
01:52:48.960 --> 01:52:54.239
I don't even remember what they were. My theory is

1979
01:52:54.239 --> 01:52:57.079
that oh right, yeah, The biggest popular theory was that

1980
01:52:57.159 --> 01:53:00.359
he made that up. That that's not I mean, that's

1981
01:53:00.359 --> 01:53:03.640
the easiest one to go. Yeah. My theory is that

1982
01:53:03.680 --> 01:53:08.439
he probably has cancer or something like something something bad

1983
01:53:08.560 --> 01:53:09.800
is happening to his brain.

1984
01:53:10.439 --> 01:53:13.039
Did you ask They should have asked, like, is there

1985
01:53:13.079 --> 01:53:16.119
a carbon monoxide detector in the coffee shop?

1986
01:53:16.439 --> 01:53:19.159
And yes, and in your job because one of them

1987
01:53:19.199 --> 01:53:19.520
needs it.

1988
01:53:20.239 --> 01:53:20.560
Yeah.

1989
01:53:20.680 --> 01:53:23.560
Yeah, So I don't know. But he's he was like

1990
01:53:23.640 --> 01:53:25.119
it was a couple of months ago, and he's like,

1991
01:53:25.119 --> 01:53:27.479
I'm still freaking out about it. I still don't understand.

1992
01:53:27.760 --> 01:53:32.439
So, I mean that would, uh, that would concern me

1993
01:53:32.520 --> 01:53:34.000
a little bit about you.

1994
01:53:34.239 --> 01:53:36.079
I mean I go to the doctor, I'd be like,

1995
01:53:36.159 --> 01:53:38.159
that's I need to know what.

1996
01:53:38.399 --> 01:53:41.000
You go to the doctor and the doctor said, no

1997
01:53:41.079 --> 01:53:42.840
more monkeys jumping on the bed.

1998
01:53:43.279 --> 01:53:44.960
Yeah, And then you're like, wow, I really do have

1999
01:53:45.000 --> 01:53:46.920
a problem if I think that this is happening in

2000
01:53:47.000 --> 01:53:48.039
a doctor's office.

2001
01:53:49.439 --> 01:53:52.720
I mean, I feel like that's the most classic kind

2002
01:53:52.760 --> 01:53:54.720
of advice you can get from a doctor, is no

2003
01:53:54.800 --> 01:53:56.279
more monkeys jumping on a bed.

2004
01:53:56.680 --> 01:53:59.880
I think we've probably gone to different kind of doctors before.

2005
01:54:00.399 --> 01:54:03.039
That's true. I mostly go to monkey related doctors.

2006
01:54:03.840 --> 01:54:07.039
Oh I get it. Now A lot of things make sense.

2007
01:54:08.479 --> 01:54:12.199
So much makes sense now. Well, thank you for pulling
