Speaker 1 (00:00):
From UFOs two, Ghosts and government cover ups. History is
rolled with unexplained events. You can turn back now or
learn the stuff they don't want you to now. Hello,
welcome to the stuff they don't want you to know.
Halloween Special. My name is Matt and I am Ben.
(00:23):
We've got a treat for you today with no tricks.
No tricks, maybe a few that all deprinds on our
super producer Noel, who has been rocking a bear mask
on and off as we prep to the podcast. Yeah,
he's wearing it right now. It looks I can't tell
if it's sad or Yeah, he's got crazy eyes behind it. Okay,
(00:47):
this is You're an intense dude, My friends. Happy Halloween everybody.
If you're listening to this on the day it comes out,
then you are listening to our episode on Halloween holiday.
You'll recognize if you are from the United States or Canada.
But what may be unfamiliar to some of our listeners abroad.
(01:10):
Maybe I assume everybody knows about Halloween. I think it's yeah,
it should be known at this point. So what we
want to do today in this special episode, we had
asked viewers and listeners across the Internet and therefore the
world to send us. Uh scary story. And we found one,
(01:32):
didn't we That's right, Ben. All of them that we
got in were fantastic. Uh. The one that we chose
was we we picked it because of the way it
flowed pretty much the story and um, it comes from
Moises g And we spoke with Moises and we've actually
made a couple of changes just to make it fit
(01:52):
our audio format a little better. Um, so we've taken
some liberties, however, Uh it is Moises, so thank you,
thank you so much for sending this in. And I
guess we should just get into it right then. Absolutely.
(02:14):
I ran after her as fast as possible, but it
was too late. She was gone, Oh well, she'll find
out soon enough. Gasoline sprayed from the broken pump with
such force that the hose flailed like a decapitated snake.
The sound was disturbingly loud. I hit the emergency switched
(02:34):
to make it stop. The station attendant finally noticed the
commotion and joined me by the mess. Did you catch
your license plate? No, but I think it was a
South Dakota plate. Thanks, I'll take care of this. He
started cleaning up the mess. The stench was overwhelming. I
went to the restroom, cleaned up, and got back on
(02:55):
the road. Another three hundred and fifty miles before Eagle Butte.
I had just bought the ends from a dealer in Vegas.
It was winter round thirty degrees. Ice was falling on
the rear view. Guess he forgot to mention the heater
was broken. I was almost home. The night was moonless,
(03:18):
but the stars were so bright. It smelled so fresh
and clear that I wished I could bottle it up
and take it with me. Above the trees untils, I
saw the flash of a big green falling star. I
was feeling cold, but I only had about a hundred
and fifty miles till Rapid City, so I just decided
(03:40):
to hold out for an early breakfast. It wasn't long
before I saw the lights ahead. I figured they were
from Hot Springs or some other small town. I was wrong.
I came over a hill and found myself in a
commotion of lights and vehicles, swarms of police from Wyoming
and South Dakota and others that were obviously military. Some
(04:04):
guy was directing me to an area where I could
see other vehicles. He yelled park behind that cadillact. He
pointed to a very familiar car. It was the lady
from the gas station. I was getting a bit scared
because there were soldiers with gas masks on and people
running around in these weird blue plastic suits. I tried
to get out of my car, and a soldier ran
(04:25):
over to me, Stay in your vehicle. What what's this
all about? Just stay in your vehicle and await further instruction.
I noticed there were several big semi trucks with antennas
and what looked like radar dishes sticking out from the top.
A military humby screen. Toward where we were parked with
(04:47):
the Darman, there was a gun turned on top man
by a soldier in a hazmat suit. You could smell
the diesel and dirt as it slid to a halt
in front of the first car. The war soldiers got
out one of emotion to me to roll my window down.
What's going on? Is everything okay? Were you stopped by
anyone in the last one miles? No? Did you give
(05:11):
a passenger a ride in the last two hundred miles? No?
Why would I give any Have you had any contact
with anyone in the last three I don't know a
gas station attendant, but he seemed fine. Where do you live,
Eagle Butte, South Dakota. What time is it right now?
This was a strange question. I glanced at my watch
(05:33):
ten oh five pm. The soldier immediately pulled his weapon
from his shoulder. We've got one, sir, I need you
to exit the vehicle startled, I complied. Several soldiers began
scouring over my car with some kind of instrument that
looked like a Geiger counter. They searched my trunk like clothes,
looked under the hood underneath my car. Then they started
(05:54):
scanning me. Why are you doing this, sir? Please stay calm.
This will all be over. So what's wrong with my watch?
He looked me straight in the eye. It's one fifteen
a m. You lost time somewhere between here and your
last stop. What I lost? What the hell does that mean?
That's classified. All you need to know is that you
(06:15):
don't seem to be affected at this point. You're free
to go. Please get back into your vehicle and leave immediately.
You saw nothing. Go home the point and now, ladies
and gentlemen, we will cause for grief and emission with
a word from our sponsor. I was so confused. I
(06:50):
guess none of us were affected because all of the
drivers parked with me were being signaled to get back
onto the highway. As we were leaving, one of the
cars slammed to a halt. The driving got out and
began running. I had to swerve around it to avoid
a collision. From my rear view, I could see the
soldiers rushing towards this car, and I saw what I
(07:10):
could only assume that the bright flashes of weapons fired.
The cars in front of me sped up, and so
did I. I glanced back again and it looked like
the car was on fire. I slowed down to get
a better view on explosion and nothing. The lights went dark.
(07:32):
That's where my engine started sputtering and shut down. Two
jets flew overhead during extremely fast I jumped out, popped
the hood and looked over the engine. Everything seemed fine.
I got back in and tried it again. It started,
no problem. I put the car and drive and tore
(07:52):
out of there. I looked back again at the area
where I was about five miles in the distance, and
it was lit up again. But now you could see
huge fire blazing to the south of the lights. I
turned my radio on to see if there was anything
about it on the news, but there was just static
and the strange humming noise. I turned the radio off.
(08:13):
I was so full of adrenaline vest that I punched
it and made it back to Hot Springs in just
a few minutes. I caught up to the cars that
were sitting there with me. They were at the only
truck stop around. I pulled it next to them and
got out of my car. I walked up to the
window of the first car. The guy had a blank
look on his face. Before I could say anything, he muttered,
(08:34):
I didn't see anything, did you? Yeah, I'm not sure
what it was, but I saw something. What were they doing?
Did they tell you what happened? I didn't see anything,
did you? He just kept repeating, I didn't see anything.
I didn't. I didn't see anything, did you? I didn't
see anything? Did you? I didn't, I didn't see anything.
(08:59):
They must have been imidated him, or maybe they did
something to his head. As I was contemplating the possibilities
of what on earth had just happened to me, the
guy threw his car and geared and yelled at me.
As he bolted out at the parking lot. Don't let
it get you, don't let night that. His words fell
to shivered down my spine. I tried to shake it
(09:20):
off with some coffee. The store clock said two both
three a M. So I adjusted my watch the match.
I wondered how I had lost that time. The guy's
words ringing in my ears. Don't let what get me.
I walked back to my car, got in and shut
the door, and started up like the drew. Finally a
(09:43):
bad I can get home and get some rest. Maybe
I'm just exhausted. Maybe this isn't even real. Just as
I was about to leave, the lights of the truck
stop went out, complete darkness. I threw the car and
to drive, slammed on the gas and nar mean. Then
the car barely lurched forward. I wasn't going anywhere. I
(10:04):
kept hitting the gas and tried switching gears, but nothing
was working. Out of desperation, I switched to reverse. It
felt like my rear bumper was pressed up against something immovable.
I flashed a look in my rear view and I
couldn't believe my eyes. I could barely make it out
the darkness. You understand, was everywhere, but there was a
(10:25):
dark black figure standing behind my car, holding my car
in place. My thoughts melted into sheer terror. I hit
the lock button on my doors and put the car
and drive and just punched it. My tires squealed and squealed,
and I could feel the car moving slowly forward. That
(10:47):
man's words were echoing in my head. My hands were trembling.
I couldn't free. A metallic ribby valley shot through my
ears and my car lunged forward. I had broken through.
I gunned it the highway. That dark, bigger was running
behind me the whole time. It was so fast. How
is this possible? I thought? I hit fifty five in six.
(11:08):
He was still behind me. I accelerated to over a
hundred and just kept going. Was I losing it? Am
I going crazy? I closed my eyes for just a moment,
trying to wake up from what I thought might be
a nightmare. But when I opened my eyes it was gone.
I kept that speed up until I reached the outskirts
(11:29):
of rapid How is in shock? I got gas at
the flying ja like a dazed man under hypnosis. It
all seemed like a dream, and I drove back still
wired and shook up, confused, drained on every level. I
couldn't believe what I saw and experienced. I thought maybe
(11:51):
one day it would be something I could laugh about.
And I got home just before dawn. Was this a dream?
Was it real? I don't know, but I do know
that there were scratches on my car's rear bumper and
they weren't there before h Well, welcome back. That was
(12:29):
a nice spine tingling story, wasn't it been horror story
for us? Straight out of South Dakota. Thank you again
Moises for writing in and thanks to everybody who sent
scary stories, because one of the things that we ran
into was that we we read so many great stories
about astro projection and things like that. Remember that one
(12:51):
and uh Unfortunately the length of the stories made it
a little bit tough for us. But this doesn't have
to stop at Halloween. If you enjoy this, you can
go check out our ghost story, which another listener had
written to us with and we and we adapted that
with the help, of course, of super producer Noel. Yeah,
(13:11):
mostly no mainly Nol. We hung out while no we
helped the way that that kid in the shaking Bait
commercials helps and uh and uh. We don't have to
wait until Halloween to do these sorts of episodes. So
if you enjoy adaptations of things, we can bring in
(13:32):
some more listeners stories or maybe stories that you and
I work on. Many. Absolutely, for me, these are tremendously fun.
I would do this every week if we could get
away with it. It's just I don't know. I think
the sound design factor makes it. Yeah, I don't know
a great experience for me. We sure hope you enjoy
listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it,
(13:53):
but that's a tall order. So if you have a
story that you want us to read, why not send
it in. Hey, we'd love to read it and maybe
adapt it, but mostly just read it. I want to
know what you're what you're writing. Yeah, we want to
know what's going on. Not to be creepy, but I'm kidding.
It's It's funny though, how every time every sentence that
(14:14):
begins with not to be creepy we talked about this
comes out as the creepiest possible things. Definitely, So to
definitely be creepy. We'd love to read your scary stories. Uh.
And if you are interested in Halloween. We have a
video series we're working on this week about Satan and
devil worshiping that may catch your eye. We also have
(14:35):
an earlier story on the origins of Halloween, and you
can find all of that on our YouTube homepage. I've
got a playlist up there right now that you can
go check out and show your mom, m and be like, mom,
look at this these Halloween traditions. It's kind of interesting
right where they came from. We also have a piece
(14:57):
of urban legends, which ones are true and twes are not.
The answers might surprise you. Raisers in the candy I
don't know, watch the video. Yeah, actual corpses hanging from trees.
Who knows you will if you watch the video. So, Matt,
before we go, I want to ask you a null
a great question here for for Halloween. Number one question
(15:19):
people across the internets are wondering, maybe are you dressing
up for Halloween? Do you have a costume? I don't
officially have a costume. I went to a party as
the the associate professor from wet Hot American Summer. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(15:39):
yeah yeah, nice nice work. It was It was one
we know something Uh. The laziest costume that I do,
if I can't think of one, is I dress up
as H. H. Holmes, which for me is honestly just
a mustache and a bowler hat because I already kind
of dressed that way. That's why so lazy. Just introduce
(16:02):
yourself as Mr. Holmes and people think you're talking about
Sherlock and they'd be like, yeah, uh do historical costumes,
and uh, I'd like to go for straight up, scarier,
interesting costumes. I'm not so much a funny costume guy.
I get it. I like it when other people do it,
but I'm saying I'm not at all into the horror thing. Yeah,
(16:24):
there's not even kind of takes her takes all kinds.
I guess, Hey, no, what about you? Are you dressing
up for Halloween? I am, indeed, Yeah, what tell us
what your costume is. I'm going to be Torgo from
the classic film Manos the Hands of Fate. Yeah, excoop
(16:45):
me on that. That's awesome. I okay, I really like that.
That's okay. I would go as a Manhos the handle
fake character, but uh really all right, hey, no problem,
I'll just make it over. I don't know, I got
a couple of hours. Yeah, yeah, just do a montage, right, yeah,
(17:08):
that's all we need to do. Uh, And listeners, we
want to ask you the same question. Enough about us,
what about you? What are your Halloween costume plans? Send
us a photo, especially if you have really scary costume,
that's what I want to see. But Matt, you want
to see you want to see your hilarious costumes, all right,
(17:28):
So that's the whole gamut. And if you send us
a picture, we would love to be able to maybe
post it on our Facebook or Twitter to show some
other people. My favorite costume I've ever seen. There was
a Vice magazine cover on this years and years ago,
this handmade sasquatch costume where it had small stilts or lifts,
(17:50):
you know, and the guy had instructions on how to
build it yourself. And I kept telling myself that I
would do it. But ladies and gentlemen, as you know,
telling yourself, if you're going to do something that's not
quite the same thing as doing it. Is this a dream?
This is even real? Um? You got me quoting Freddie
Mercury in my head, right, yeah? All right, Well that's
(18:11):
when Matt Night start openly questioning reality. That's when we
know it's time to get out of here. So write
to us. You find us on Facebook, on Twitter, go
to stuff they don't want you to know dot com.
That is the place to find all the stuff. Also
write us an email. We love email, and put those
photos into it. We are conspiracy at how stuff works
(18:32):
dot com. From more on this topic, another unexplained phenomenon,

welcome to the stuff they don't want you to know.

a great experience for me. We sure hope you enjoy
listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it,
(13:53):
but that's a tall order. So if you have a
story that you want us to read, why not send
it in. Hey, we'd love to read it and maybe
adapt it, but mostly just read it. I want to
know what you're what you're writing. Yeah, we want to
know what's going on. Not to be creepy, but I'm kidding.
It's It's funny though, how every time every sentence that
(14:14):
begins with not to be creepy we talked about this
comes out as the creepiest possible things. Definitely, So to
definitely be creepy. We'd love to read your scary stories. Uh.
And if you are interested in Halloween. We have a
video series we're working on this week about Satan and
devil worshiping that may catch your eye. We also have
(14:35):
an earlier story on the origins of Halloween, and you
can find all of that on our YouTube homepage. I've
got a playlist up there right now that you can
go check out and show your mom, m and be like, mom,
look at this these Halloween traditions. It's kind of interesting
right where they came from. We also have a piece
(14:57):
of urban legends, which ones are true and twes are not.
The answers might surprise you. Raisers in the candy I
don't know, watch the video. Yeah, actual corpses hanging from trees.
Who knows you will if you watch the video. So, Matt,
before we go, I want to ask you a null
a great question here for for Halloween. Number one question
(15:19):
people across the internets are wondering, maybe are you dressing
up for Halloween? Do you have a costume? I don't
officially have a costume. I went to a party as
the the associate professor from wet Hot American Summer. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(15:39):
yeah yeah, nice nice work. It was It was one
we know something Uh. The laziest costume that I do,
if I can't think of one, is I dress up
as H. H. Holmes, which for me is honestly just
a mustache and a bowler hat because I already kind
of dressed that way. That's why so lazy. Just introduce
(16:02):
yourself as Mr. Holmes and people think you're talking about
Sherlock and they'd be like, yeah, uh do historical costumes,
and uh, I'd like to go for straight up, scarier,
interesting costumes. I'm not so much a funny costume guy.
I get it. I like it when other people do it,
but I'm saying I'm not at all into the horror thing. Yeah,
(16:24):
there's not even kind of takes her takes all kinds.
I guess, Hey, no, what about you? Are you dressing
up for Halloween? I am, indeed, Yeah, what tell us
what your costume is. I'm going to be Torgo from
the classic film Manos the Hands of Fate. Yeah, excoop
(16:45):
me on that. That's awesome. I okay, I really like that.
That's okay. I would go as a Manhos the handle
fake character, but uh really all right, hey, no problem,
I'll just make it over. I don't know, I got
a couple of hours. Yeah, yeah, just do a montage, right, yeah,
(17:08):
that's all we need to do. Uh, And listeners, we
want to ask you the same question. Enough about us,
what about you? What are your Halloween costume plans? Send
us a photo, especially if you have really scary costume,
that's what I want to see. But Matt, you want
to see you want to see your hilarious costumes, all right,
(17:28):
So that's the whole gamut. And if you send us
a picture, we would love to be able to maybe
post it on our Facebook or Twitter to show some
other people. My favorite costume I've ever seen. There was
a Vice magazine cover on this years and years ago,
this handmade sasquatch costume where it had small stilts or lifts,
(17:50):
you know, and the guy had instructions on how to
build it yourself. And I kept telling myself that I
would do it. But ladies and gentlemen, as you know,
telling yourself, if you're going to do something that's not
quite the same thing as doing it. Is this a dream?
This is even real? Um? You got me quoting Freddie
Mercury in my head, right, yeah? All right, Well that's
(18:11):
when Matt Night start openly questioning reality. That's when we
know it's time to get out of here. So write
to us. You find us on Facebook, on Twitter, go

photos into it. We are conspiracy at how stuff works
