Speaker 2 (00:03):
Let's talk about this US couple have discovered something underneath
their jacuzi. They live on Lake Huron in Michigan. This
is a it's a body of water that separates us
from the Canada from the Canada. So they were digging
out their jacuzi. They were renovating. They bought this house
in twenty twenty and they found sort of a weird
(00:26):
outlet underneath.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
The jacuzzi, a lot of hair, I'd imagine.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
A lot of hair. The wookie was living there. They
found underneath a water filled.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Room when the jacuzi broke and they connected this. Then
this they discovered was connected to a huge body of
water by six foot pipe. And when I say body
of water, they scuba dived to discover where it went.
So this jakuzi underneath the jacuzzi was a big tank
(00:59):
like a giant chain with water in it. They scuba
dived in the river and found the other end of it,
which was a part of a huge tunnel system. Right,
So they said, what they think is that this was
used for prohibition.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
AH to smuggle the liquor.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yep, the prohibition era.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
So this is a six meter deep bootleggers tunnel beneath
their house that was used for smuggling alcohol.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
I wanted getting the booze into the house or out
of that hat.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Probably both.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Apparently a century ago, this area, like Huron and the
adjoining Saint Clair River were critical waterways with boaters and
crime syndicates to bring in bootlet leg alcohol from north
of the border.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Amazing, this area.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Was responsible for seventy five percent of prohibition activity according
to experts. And they said that many of their neighbors
apparently have the same thing, have these big water chambers
and tunnel systems under their home. But how brave are
you to say, there's a water system I'm going.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
To put on scuba dear and swim through it.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Oh yeah, had scuba gear.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Oh I assume they rented it. It wasn't just.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Heydings and rent the scooby.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Does she go to a scuba place a master's ticket?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Okay, presumably they did. Frustrated presby did what are the
chances they live on a lake?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Maybe they're those kind of people.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Lake people like people people that live on the water.
They're all weird.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Have you ever found anything interesting when you're renovating.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
It's funny you mentioned that one time.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Ticket When I was living in Brisbane, we got a
house in Boomoral, nice little suburb in Brisbane, and as
I was moving the landlord it was a shame around
the place and I was were moving out a cupboard
and on the back of a cupboard in red drawn
with finger like fingerpaint, was a pentagram.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Oh like the devil sign.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, gee, what's with that? And is that blood?
Speaker 4 (02:48):
It wasn't blood, it was red paint, but it looked
like blood. And they dridden a pentagram and.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I said, geez, what was What were your last tenants into?
I said, that's the landlord. He goes, yeah, they were weders.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
I remember I came around one night and there was
all these candles burning and if you stand up here,
there was a sunken lounge room. So if you stand
out here you can barely see it now, but there's
there's an outline, a chalk outline of that similar thing
that And he didn't know what it's called.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I said pentagram. Heys, yeah, same as that.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I wouldn't have moved in.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Same I would not have moved in.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Did you go ahead and move in?
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Well, you know the thing was my wife and my
son were living in Sydney and I'd taken the job
up in Brisbane and they were going to eventually come.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
And join me.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
So so why wouldn't you bring a child into sight.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
I've signed the lease on this giant and all that
sort of stuff, and it was a nice place, ramp
was cheap, and all of a sudden this so.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Were you thinking, I won't tell my wife.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I wasn't going to say it to anyone. So I
went to work that night.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
I was doing late night radio at Boo and five
in Brisbane, and there was this lady that did the
midnight to dawn shift after me, and I was just
sort of sitting there doing the songs and she said,
if you found a place to live yet, and I said, yeah,
this beautiful place in Balmorrow and we're just talking about
it and I said, just you know, I told her
about the Pentagram.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Anyway, she's a rabid Christian and she said, you cannot
move into that house.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
That house is bad and went under this whole thing,
and like throughout the rest of my she sat through
my whole show, just constantly telling me not to buy into.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Not to move my family into the house with her.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
So that night, when I'm heading home from work at
about two in the morning, I thought, the last place
I want to go into is that house.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
So I kind of spooked myself and my mate Dave.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I told him about it, and he started overegging the
pudding and his wife. He said, she said, well, you know,
why don't you get like a priest to come and
bless the house?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Just why do you do that? And I went because
I'm a Catholic, okay, sure, you know.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
So each time I wanted someone to say, oh, you're crazy,
no one said I was crazy.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Everyone said you need to do something about it.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
You should do something about it.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I signed the least I could have waved some sage
around something.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Well, I didn't even know about sage back then. So
I go to the local church and I.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Meet what you know, what are you went to local church?
What trouble are you going to be in? Because then
they'll expect to see you there every way exactly, So
I mean, that's frauds, even worse than living in a
devil house.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
I met with the local priest's father, Terry, and I
thought he would say, ah, yeah, crazy, don't worry about it.
He sat me down in his office and he said, so,
have you seen any strange phenomenon?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And I went, well, no, not really, but I do.
This is do you feel uncomfortable in the house? And
I went, yeah, actually I do.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
I do feel uncomfortable, but I'm thinking is it part
of my mind?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Also, there's all possums and stuff running.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
It was in a bushland sort of setting, so there's
a lot of things that kept you up at night.
And also I'm by myself, working late at night. So anyway,
he says, oh, come past and I'll bless the house.
Oh sweet, and you know, I'm like, I'm sort of
good tick done. So he came round to the house
and he brought his you know, his robe and his
(05:51):
Bible and some holy water. I was like full on
scene for this. We go into the house and we're
walking along and he just starts, you know, and then
he starts quite in Latin, and then and I'm going, jeez, okay,
so I'm just going long and I don't speak Latin, and.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Then might I don't even speak Latin.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
As we're walking through that status quite as we're walking
through the house, I said, so, I say, father, you're
getting any vibe, and he said, I felt incredibly uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
It's getting worse.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Well, that's going to be my son's front. Oh no,
I thought, better put the kid in the room than me.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Yes, there are monsters under the.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Bed in there.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
At least you can tell him they're fake gold running monsters.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Mate, forget a trampoline, you got a monster in your room. Anyway, anyway,
we go downstairs and there was and I thought it
was a great work bench and Father Terry looks at
me and says, that's an altar. And what do you
mean that is a church altar? So you can see
here is where the sacristy used to be and all that.
(06:57):
And I went and he said, who are the people
that lived here? Like?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Were they just students mucking up?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I don't know. I don't know who who they were.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
And so anyway, Charles Manson he did the blessing in there,
but at that point he said, anyway, I've got to go,
and then he just ran off, you know, not rub
but he was quite up for the chat before that.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
As soon as you saw the altar gone.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
So and there did he insist you go to church everywhere.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I never went back to the church.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
You know, I gave him fifty bucks as a donation
when thanks Father, there's something for the church, and then
after that nothing.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
I didn't feel uncomfortable anymore.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
So that worked for you.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
But it's a head game, and if it can work
for you, that's great. That would have wound me up
even further. Yeah, that would have upset.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Me even more.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, the fact that no one said this is a
joke and that he took it so seriously, that would
have I couldn't have stayed there.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
And so did you tell Helen this at the time?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
No, are you joking? No? I kept that.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
There was one point where my son's head started spitting
around in the bedroom.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
And I said, he's been a head turner ever since.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
I said, honey, it's caught holt and cold running monsters.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
How won't you stay there?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Eight months?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
You miss amitable? Don't you know you still.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Live next door to me? Carl sandlans three houses.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
The devil went to the wrong house.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Kept well away from that anyway when you freaked me out.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Now, yeah, we're going bless his house.
