Speaker 3 (01:53):
And I am your host creature. Yeah, happy, holloway cool.
Oh yeah, you're development in skel of zooms.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Perfect, no notes, I didn't even plan what to say.
You were on top of it. Great. So yeah, we're
we're we're doing the Halloweens. We're I don't know what
that means, but we're doing Collins tonight. Although we do
have a guest who is here with me because you
(02:26):
already had a ghost story.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
I do have to get a story.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Am I muted still or no, you're unmuted, So just
talking to the mic.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
A long time ago with some of me and my friends,
we went on a big nice trip through West Virginia
doing the first time I ever went to the Mothman Museum
and stuff like that. And this was at the time
I was working overnight, so I was already like, I'm good, ready, I,
you know, have all the energy that I need. So
(02:58):
I was the one who's driving. I woke up the
I just didn't sleep pretty much, and I just drove
up to Point Pleasant and then all the way to Weston,
West Virginia to the trans Allegheny Luna Tic Asylum where
we were going to go ghost hunting. And I have
never been ghost hunting before. I grew up watching so
(03:18):
much stuff showing me how to ghost hunting, you know,
EVP reports and stuff like that, and all the technology
I needed, so I thought I was ready. So the
Transalghanty Lunaic Asylum is the big scary psychiatric hospital that
like everyone thinks about. Really it's not Waverly Hills, no
(03:42):
TV or anything, but that place was honestly, very very
very spooky. It was four floors and it was incredibly dark,
no electricity like flowing through the except for the bottom floor.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
And we were going floor by floor and just kind.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Of they were getting to leave out and stuff like that,
and telling us what happened there in the history, you.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Know, this is the Men's Wars, the Female Award.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
And we were at the very top and the hallway
in front of me was just pitch black and I
could kind of only see a little bit of light
coming in from outside. And I looked over to my
left and I just see this big black void of
(04:30):
form leaning casually against the door frame next to me,
like just kind of like relaxing, like okay, got my
shoulder up and everything, and I screamed. I have never
in my life screamed so loudly, so authentically in.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
My entire life.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
And it was just one of the people that were
there with me while we were doing our tour, and
I didn't realize it was him, and he was just
he just happened to be standing at that like and.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Scared the of me.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
So uh as stupid as it was, that was like
one of the scariest moments of my life because I
was so ready to see it.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Go yeah, and I finally it was just a random person.
It was like, hey, yeah, James, what's up.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Yeah. His wife was like, oh my god, I should
seeing with the lights on.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
So I did actually end up seeing like or like
experiencing a lot of weird stuff there. I highly recommend
it if you get to go.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
It's so spooky.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
I think they've actually done a lot more work to
add on whole tracks of the hospital for tours and
stuff now has an amazing history. There's actually a good
episode of flore by Aaron Mankee if you guys listen
to that on.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, I haven't caught up and lost time.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Yeah, it's been going for years now. So I did
see lot you know, spooky things there.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Are you also hearing that door? Or am I losing
it right now? It sounds like a creaky door.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I stepped outside.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Oh, I was like, are we being haunted through the phone?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Are ultimately scary?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I was just like, I didn't put a soundboard on
this one because we've been shown that we cannot be
trusted with.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
That happy Halloween.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Oh sorry about that?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Oh you're all good. I was just like, what what?
I didn't do a soundboard? I know it's not me.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
First blood. Second, I was like should I should I
not say anything and be like no I heard.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
That, No, we heard it. Don't worry.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
The closest thing, real good ghost story that I got.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, that was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Honestly, I'm trying to think if I have any good
like visual ghost stories, because I feel like most of
what I've seen has been more like stuff moves. I'm liken't.
I don't know about that. I'm not cool with that.
But I don't think I've really like seen scene a ghost.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I think I don't know if I've ever told it
on the show, but I have one very It was
a couple of years ago. But my sister has a
house and when she goes out of town with my
with my brother in law to visit his family, she'll
(07:46):
ask if I can house it, right m hm, And
it's a it's a house with a basement and television
and all that's in a basement, right yeah. So I
was downstairs watching movies and I hear it has to
(08:06):
be around like two am. I just.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
Start.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I just hear feet running across the kitchen upstairs, and
I'm a little a little freaked out because my first
thought isn't ghost. My first thought is like intruder. And
so I go up there and there's just no one
(08:32):
up there. And that was like some some legitimately unnerving stuff. Yeah,
I was like, I'm just gonna stay awake all night now. Yeah,
that's about my only ghost story.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
That's what I get a lot of too.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I think I've heard a lot of ghosts, and I
know that I heard a lot of weird things.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, I've heard and not seeing like the ghost itself,
but like seeing weird things that I'm like, I don't
like that. We're not doing that. But it's mostly it's
mostly heard, which I think I'm fine with that. If
I see it, I'm gonna feel way worse than if
I just hear it, because you know, there's all kinds
(09:18):
of weird sound anomalies I probably have tonightis you know. Yeah,
but uh, I'm not thinking if I've got some more
spooky stories. But since it is Halloween, what's our favorite
Halloween candy?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Twizzlers?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Twizzlers. Twizzling Twizzlers are my like road trip snack as creature.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
If I if I gotta go Halloween candy, Uh, this
is really spooky for a lot of people. But candy
corn and candy pumpkins, Oh.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
That is spiky. They're just pure. I mean they're corn
at heart, really, aren't.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
We are just corn? At heart.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I'm from Ohio, so I actually.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Am I wanted. I wanted to try this candy that
apparently just came out that I heard about. What's caramel
stuffed marshmallows.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I don't, Oh, I don't know about that one.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
That seems like a texture nightmare.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, that's what I'm like, texture wise, I hate that.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yeah, sticky, I will say, I guess, I guess. Technically
my favorite Halloween seemed candy is the pumpkin shavers.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
These cups, but I mean, okay, yes, they are superior
to the normal. Yeah, and I don't know why. I think.
I think something about the shape gives it the correct
chocolate to peanut butter ratio.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
That was like the eggs, the Easter egg. Yeah, like
that's like the perfect size for my mouth.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
See we were okay, Christie, you weren't here for this,
but I was talking earlier about how spoon size matters,
Like it's just a sensory thing. I like to use
big spoons. You do not. People have spoon preferences. It's
just a thing. I don't know. Tiny spoons. I'm just like,
I don't like tiny spoons are for ice cream for me.
(11:24):
That's what I associate them with, which doesn't make any
sense at all. It's I have a weird brain, which happens.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
The best brains are weird.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
The best brains are weird.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Thankfully, your weird brain is perfect for this format.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I mean, it's not called strange talk for nothing.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
It's true. What's your favorite candy?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Oh? Oh, my favorite candy h as far as getting them,
like candy that I only get around Halloween, the fruit
flavored tutsi rolls. I hate normal tozy rolls, but I
love the weird fruit flavor ones that end up at
the bottom of your bag on Halloween. And everyone's like, eh,
I don't know, and I was like, give me all
(12:09):
of them.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
You were my best spread out of playground. Give you
all of them.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I'll trade you some Twizzlers for them.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Yes, exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
It's not that I don't love Twizzlers.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Basically, they basically like kaffe are they?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I mean kind of at that point they're like taffy,
but they're not gonna break your teeth. And I mean
unless they're really stale.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Yeah, they made those the seventies, so they're probably.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Still probably all stale. Yeah, they probably were all made
in the seventies are.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Just chocolate taffy.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Uh so, okay, I looked this up. They're not even
chocolate flavored. They're berry flavored.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
What kind of berry?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I don't I don't know. The more I read, the
more confused I got, Like, look up what a twototzy
roll flavor is, and you will regret everything. Actually, I
guess I will look it up.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
They talked about missing the mark on what a pair?
Speaker 4 (13:08):
I mean, neither berry nor chocolate totsy roll.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Oh, come on night, what is the original one. It's
trying to give me all the like actual fruit flavors,
And I'm like, no, no, no, what did they create? What
abomination have they set upon us?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
What? What aberration into our reality?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Okay, this one's saying it is cocoa flavor, but what
I was reading was saying that it was not, and
that they messed up. Yeah, a perfectly balanced cocoa taste
lined with a subtle fruit flavored undertone to zero answer to.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
The people, just not a specific fruit, just fruit.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yeah, just vaguely fruit flavor. I mean, I don't know
they tried. I guess it exists.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Oh yeah, you know the only time I ever I
ever a favorite TUTSI role is when they're just around
and no one's eating them, and I'm like, I guess
I'll eat a tootsi roll.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Well I guess. So.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Oh you are? Are you guys, uh excited for tonight
since it's Halloween night?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Yeah? Actually, yeah, that's another good question. What are you
all dressing up as for Halloween?
Speaker 4 (14:42):
I am doing Atlas from Alice in Wonderland.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, yeah, that's a good one, like the original Analyst. Yeah, okay, yeah,
not the video game.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
That Yeah, that's next year.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
I was actually the one to say that.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah. I was like, what do you gna next year?
And you're like Alice and the like again and You're like, no, no, no, no,
no different alists. There's so many Alice from Twilight. Uh
the other Alice I can think of right now? Oh god?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Uh yeah no, no, oh I'm gonna I'm probably gonna
go as a skeleton because classic I have the stuff
to addressed up as a skeletons.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
That's pretty had.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
You guys can hear this, but there are coyotes and
dogs howling in the background, so I apologize if that
picks up, but it is pretty spooky.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Oh, it's not picking up, and I so regret that
it is. I didn't even do a soundboard. I don't
remember what sounds are programmed in here, and I.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Well, you know what with the dog Man of County, Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
So the only this board comes pre programmed with sounds,
and so the only sounds that have available our applause,
which I'm not going to hit because it doesn't end,
it goes on forever, or I have rim shot that
didn't or said trombone yeah, actually here there we go. Yeah,
(16:21):
I've just never replaced them on there, so They've just
been hanging out at the bottom of the board, just waiting.
There's so many moments that I'm sure I could have
hit that button and have not. So, you know, you're
welcome for the restraint.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
This isn't like a morning talk show or anything like that. See,
this is a higher caliber.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
It's higher caliber. You make me want to hit the
applause button so bad, but it literally does not stop.
It would just go for the rest of the show
and we would just kind of have to live with that.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Are deserving a constant Alex.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
For him, Alex vouch for me that at one point
I said we should try a I'm more you a
Strange Talk, just to see how that goes.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
A morning?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
What a morning? Oh?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Oh like, yeah, yeah, I gotcha. I just all I
heard was morning. It went, oh god, you don't want
strange talk in the morning. It wouldn't go well, it
wouldn't be able to be aired. I am not a
morning person. The FCC would find me specifically.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Yeah, we have like the Strange Talk T shirt can
and it's like, you're welcome this Strange Talk your place
for a strange radio.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah, since that's the only one I got right now.
Oh wait, I guess I do get this. Hey, creature,
I just realized, can you even hear that?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I cannot?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I forgot that the sounds only go one way? Oh
that's even better. You don't know what sound effects I'm
hitting igic.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I'm assuming it.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Was that followed by rimshot. That didn't I feel like,
especially talking about the sound board, this should be unsurprising.
Now I have a clown costume for Halloween that I'm
depending on if I should put it on or not.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Do it.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I'll be the you're here now and it's Halloween. What
I'm saying is I'm just putting on the little hat
right now in my little clown shoe.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Is it scary clown or is it like sexy clown?
Because I've seen a lot of that this year.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I don't think it's either. I think it's just like
I think it's scary sexy clown. It's like a pierrot clown.
It's like all black and white, so it's not particularly scary,
but I can I can make it scary.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
Dramatic that people are going to ask you if you're
Art the Clown, though from terrifying.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Oh, you're right, you're going to get a lot of that.
Maybe I shouldn't wear that. Uh. When we were at Scarefest,
we talked about that last episode, so we're not gonna
talk about it again. But one of the things that
we didn't mention while we were there. There there were
so many people dressed is Art the Clown, and at
one point, because they all had the little Honko honk,
(19:21):
they started playing Marco polo with their little Honko hon ko,
like Marco poloing around all of the Art the clowns.
It was kind of amazing. So that is the one
bit of Scarefest that I forgot to mention, and I
mostly have my voice back from that. Oh my gosh,
I talk so much and I did not ever want
to talk to another person again after that. But we're here,
(19:43):
we're doing it. I don't know if the radio show
counts as talking to another person.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
It's just, you know, I don't think it does.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
It's kind of like talking to myself. It feels like
sometimes like it's not the same pressure as talking to
I don't know, a person I don't know. Explain that
it makes sense to me.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
We met a fan, didn't we.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yeah, we did. I don't know if I talked about
it or not. We met a couple of people. Yeah,
she said her name was Leonor at Scarefest, which was
really cool. And then right and at an octoberfest, I
met Elizabeth and her mom, who apparently both listened in,
So hellow to you both. I think that is so cute.
(20:31):
I think I kind of touched on this, But like,
I don't always hear from people who listen to the show,
So when people tell me they listen to it, it's
really cool. Because making the show half the time feels
like I am yelling into the void, stuffing it in
a bottle and then throwing it in the ocean and
I don't know what happens to it. It's just out
there and it is not my problem anymore. But it's
(20:52):
kind of nice for people to be like, hey, I
found your bottle that you hear in the ocean. I'm like,
oh sick. I was wondering what happened to that. So
it's it's it's actually like really nice to hear from
people who listen to the show and are like, oh, yeah,
I listened to that with my mom, which is the
sweetest thing. I'm gonna cry.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Oh yeah, that was a big thing for me and
my mom.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Actually, yeah, yeah, we would like she got me. She
told me about Coast to Coast. Really, I was very
little and we would hang out in her car. I
don't know why her car.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Has the best radio reception, honestly, I guess so because
you're moving around.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
It was so it was two in the morning, yes,
and I still remember that hat. Yeah, because of the
time difference to a you'd go out to my mom's
car and we'd listened to Coast to Code.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
That's part of why they started it. I think they
started at like eleven pms that way, all across the
coast they would be getting it in the middle of
the night to make it extra like, which it was
never actually meant to be, like a spooky show. It's
just a talk show that happened to be, like, well,
what's out there? And the answer is aliens and ghosts
and weird, weird stuff that we can't explain.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Holes that just don't end.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Mail's hole is so classic. I wonder. I wonder what
Mail's up to now. I'm sure I can look that up,
but part of me doesn't want to ruin the mystery exactly.
He might be in the hole for all we know,
I hope.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
So. So, now that Coast to Coast.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Is over, what's not over?
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Is it not?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
No George Noruri took over? Or Snorri? Is the people
call him? Y?
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Yeah, there is that one right now that you no
longer listen to Coast to Coast, do you listen to
us with your mom and the car?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I don't talk to my mom right now, but she
is aware. She knows the strange thought.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Your mom's aware of about that, so I listen. She
might I don't know if she's listening.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Maybe she wanted to be emailing us and I'll be like, hi,
am mom, Hey don't text me. Yeah, don't, don't. Don't
do it, do it. We're explicitly asking you not to.
It'd be kind of rude to do that after we
asked you not to be too spooky. Yeah, happy Halloween.
You deserve a treat and that is your mom not
(23:11):
texting you and could be trick. Oh no, that's true.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
I remember thinking that was sacri saint. As a kid,
like you actually had to like you had to pick.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Yeah, you had to. You had to pick too. Like.
It wasn't like you go trigg or treating. No, you
went up and you hoped that everyone gave you a treat.
You hoped that they didn't trick you. But then there's
some houses where it was trick and treat. Those are
some of my favorite where it was usually some teenager
was like hiding behind some bushes that you didn't see him,
and so you'd like get your candy and then they'd jump
(23:44):
out and scare the ever loving god out of you.
It was great.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Or the werewolf guy that just sits perfectly still on
the bench in front, perfect and lunges at you and
you reach for the candy.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
It's so perfect. Halloween is just a perfect holidays. I
mean it's getting to be less cool, but I mean
we can make it cool again.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Personally, I say band trunk or treat.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I think that that makes it so boring. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Trunk or treat should be reserved for like rural kids
who's nearest neighbor is like ten miles away. That's when
you do yeah, well.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Because I think trunk or treat you're just meeting other
parents who also have kids instead of getting to meet
your actual neighbors, like the nice old lady down the
way who may or may not be a witch, but
like doesn't have a lot of friends or family and
really enjoys kids coming trig or treating because that's when
she gets interact with people. Things like that. You get
to actually meet your neighbors and not just the ones
(24:55):
that are parents with kids. I know. I think that's
part of why Halloween's coool holiday. It's a community event exactly.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
It's the only holiday that's really based around the community,
not around.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Your family and your family. And that's why I only
trunk or treat it bases it around your family. It
should be about your community.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
Everyone's just so worried and scared nowadays, I guess so
the razor blades in your candy.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Which is funny because all that stuff happened, like all
the rumors of that happened back in the day, and
all of it was so I parent was trying to
murder their kid. Yeah, and that was the only instance
of it. But now it has become this big thing.
Everone's afraid of it. I will say, I partially get it.
It's definitely parents perpetuate that so that way they can
look through your candy first and take what they want.
(25:39):
I understand that that is the main reason that I
think that gets perpetuated is they're like, now, Timmy, I
gotta make sure there's no razor blades in your dutsy
bowls that are chuck cocoa and fruit flavored.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
There was just something of a ritual about how though,
like everyone agreed, we're going to make our house this
looks scary.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Yeah, you're going to come over the scary of the house.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Better.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
The candy absolutely, because they cared, they did.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Care, and fun sizes were actually fun too. Not to
be old about it, but Snickers fun sized bars have
gotten smaller.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah, they have well. And then there was always the
one house that gave out the king size candy dolls,
and they were legends in your neighborhood. And there was
always the one neighbor that would give you like a toothbrush,
and you're like, okay, thanks. In retrospect, I actually do
appreciate you. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
I don't know. I don't think we can describe that
neighbor on the radio.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
But you know, again, in retrospect, I do actually appreciate
the toothbrush. I did not at the time, and I
was a fool. It was like when you were a
kid and someone gives you socks and you're like, oh sucks.
Now I as an adult, I'm like, oh socks, My
socks always go missing. Why are they always missing? But yeah, no,
like you said, like you get to go out in
(26:57):
your community. You walk around, you get all your candy eat.
So you go with your friends and or sometimes the siblings,
or sometimes your parents, depending or sometimes just by yourself.
If your parents are like whatever, it's the nineties, go
please don't die whatever you remember back in the day
when they might have been like, yeah, it's ten o'clock,
are your kids at home? And like parents were all like,
(27:18):
oh god, I've been watching TV for three hours, and
I go, yeah, so yeah, you got to like it.
It tastes of freedom a little bit, unless you know,
you had to go with your sibling. You got to
meet all your neighbors, you got all this candy, and
then the ritual of it for us afterwards was we
would always go back to somebody's house afterwards and we
(27:40):
would sort through all over candy in trade all the
good stuff while telling ghost stories. And that was the
most fun part to me was we have all this candy,
now we're all hyped up. We're gonna stay up all
night telling ghost stories. And it was so much fun.
And also like usually somebody would order pizza because it
was like, okay, you can't eat just sugar for dinner.
(28:01):
I remember the neighborhood that I grew up in. Technically
I was outside the neighborhood, but they claimed me as
one of their own. There was this one house there
that was always the house that would all go to,
you know, afterwards, after trigger treating, and they'd have a
big Halloween party and we would do do you remember
those games where you would lie on the floor and
(28:23):
they would like take you through a story, and I
remember there was two of them that I remember. One
was it was talking about how you know, cut your
body open and pack it full of sand, and cut
your other arm open and pack it full of sand.
And so at the end of the story, they'd be like, Okay,
now try to get up, and you try to get
up and you couldn't. And so because the story was like, oh,
your body's full of sand like you were a sandman.
(28:45):
Now it's really just you've been lying on the floor
not moving for like a good twenty to thirty minutes.
Your body is just as sleep. But the other one
that actually really freaked me out was one called Cat Scratches,
where they would go through this whole thing and I
don't remember the whole story now, but basically there was
a black cat and in the story, it scratches you.
(29:08):
And so at the end of this game, you'd be
laying flat on the board on the floor and you'd
roll over and lift up your shirt and then they
would count the number of cat scratches on your back.
And there was always scratches on the person's back. And
I'm trying to think, like, in retrospect, it had to
be like the wrinkles from your clothes or something. But
that freaked me out as a kid. It like absolutely
(29:30):
freaked me out. Yeah, we kind of did the light
as of feather, stiff as a board stuff, but it
was mostly stuff like that. Yeah. Did you all have
any like fun weird rituals like that or were we
just really weird?
Speaker 6 (29:47):
No?
Speaker 4 (29:47):
I never did.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Anythink of that. Honestly, me and the guys leave to
we do out trick or treating that there was a
abandon store that we would hang out and during the year.
But uh so it loo wasn't weird to just go
into those place just because whoever owned it just didn't
care about the leaves or couldn't leave it out. But
(30:10):
we uh there's like three or four years in a
row where we go trick or treating and then go
hang out in there till like midnight just telling. Uh.
I guess we told ghost stories and spooky stories.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
But.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Not probably nothing is the well thought out or creative
is what you did?
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Well? I didn't make these up. These were these were
like things that were like passed down. I mean, I'm
going to look it up all.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
Some scary stories to tell it in the dark sight
type rituals.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Oh my mom was the one who did those, because.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
I know here's another another little side spooky story. Either
of you are familiar with the one man hide and
seek creepy pasta where you have to like get a
teddy bear, you take out the fluffing and you put
in rice and you had to sew it up with
(31:07):
red bread you put it in. I'm trying to remember
the exact thing. It's one of those creepy pastas. That's
like step one, this, step two, that, and you had
to like turn on a TV fuzzy channel, which I
don't even think you can do anymore. Yeah, so you
can hear the weird voices coming through and this doll
apparently will chase you through your house and play hide
(31:30):
and seek with you. So I was not there for that,
but I was there the next day when my ex
came over and was ranting to me about it and
telling me that she needed to burn this doll because
it had chased her all through her house last night
and that doll was pretty spooky.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Ye, honestly.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
So I had a fire pit in the back of
my house and we had to to burn this this
rice beard burn there.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Yeah. Burn.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Yeah, gosh, it does sound like some weird like sometimes
you gotta burn the riceberr, you know what I'm saying.
So I did look it up and I found I
don't I don't remember if this was the exact story
we had, because obviously they're kind of regional. But I
do have the cat scratch story if you all want
me to read it. It says, so, when you're playing
(32:29):
this game, Yeah, so you have the one person sit
and then the other person sits and their head is
sting in your lap and you kind of rub their
temples while you do this. So imagine that you were
laying in someone's lap and theyre rubbing your temples, kind
of like you would pet a cat. And it says
you were walking through a dark alley late at night.
You were the only one there. The ground is slick
(32:49):
with rain, and the alley is filled with garbage cans
and litter. But then you hear something of movement in
the garbage cans. You pick up your pace. You want
to get out of the alley fat, but then you
see something red eyes glowing, red cat eyes. They're the
eyes of an enormous cat. You run, but the cat
chases and jumps on you. It scratches you one two three,
(33:12):
cat scratch, cat scratch, cat scratch, And that's when you're
supposed to roll the person over and see how many
cat scratches they have on their back. Spooky and they're
like we would always be like, oh, you want to
get the most cat scratches, not that there was any
way to like really control a lot, but I always
thought that was fun. And my gosh, why are children's
(33:32):
games so creepy? Because yeah, the website that I found
this on was like, yeah, these are like the games
that kids play at party, like Owija and Bloody Mary
and cat Scratch, and so this one is sort of
like light as a feather, stip as a board. They
theorize that it's like a sort of form of group hypnosis.
(33:53):
But like, as a kid, I never could figure out
why you had the marks on the back because they
wouldn't hurt, they were just there. But I'm thinking now
and I'm like, oh, it's probably like close wrinkles. But
it's interesting. I wonder if I can find the Sandman one.
Speaker 5 (34:10):
And that's like a thing that continues today because I
know there was that Charlie Charlie thing like maybe five
six years ago that kids were doing where you've put
like two pencils over each other, and that is like
divining answers somehow.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yeah, yeah, because it is kind of like dowsing kind of.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Yeah, kids are spooky.
Speaker 5 (34:32):
That's just what we do. When you're a kid, you
just make up weird spooky games.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Yeah. I found on wiki how let me see if
this is the Sandman one.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
I'd love that there's pictures for this. So it says
choose two players to be the sleeper and the storyteller.
Oh yeah, so obviously you have to have the lights
off for all of these or else it doesn't count.
Oh oh, hold on, we have a call in. Hold on,
I will read this after this. Okay, Hello, you're on
(35:08):
with Strange Talk.
Speaker 6 (35:11):
What's up, creep?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Hi? How are you doing, pretty kid? How about you?
Speaker 6 (35:17):
I'm doing fantastic.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
We were just talking about the creepy rituals that kids do.
Did you ever play the Sandman game?
Speaker 6 (35:27):
I did not. I would say I had a fairy
sheltered existence.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Our neighborhood was full of menaces unfortunately slash fortunately for me.
But yes, do you have a ghost story for us.
Speaker 6 (35:46):
I do because, as you know, I was a paranormal
investigator in Washington State for a long time before I
moved out here to Ohio, and we decided to do
an investigation based off of some claims that were happening
at Green Lake Park in Green Lakes I'll say Seattle
(36:10):
slash Washington. It's not quite in the heart of Seattle.
So the claims that were there, you know, we were
because of Sylvia Gaines was murdered in that park and
they had found her in a i'll say, in a
position that that claimed, you know, maybe something had happened
(36:31):
to her, maybe she had been sexually assaulted. What what
happened to her? And all these years had gone by
after this grizzly murder, you know, made all the papers,
and people were now seeing and having encounters with a
potential female spirit in this park that was wandering around
the lake. And these claims had been happening for years.
(36:54):
So that was one thing that we had read about,
you know, perhaps a restless spirit. We hadn't read too
far into why, you know what, why were we being
haunted and that sort of thing, but that for sure,
the female spirit kept popping up people kept talking about it,
so that was we were like, well, let's let's read
(37:16):
into it. So it turns out June seventeenth, nineteen twenty six,
you know, a kind of a carpenter checking the end
of the park had discovered made a grizzly discovery of
this woman left near the park. She was nearly naked.
She was sprawled out, like I mentioned in a very
(37:37):
you know it's not so good position. They found a
bloodied rock near her, and you know, she had a
severe head wound. Yeah, And it turns out that the
father was the first person that they fingered for this murder.
They may have had in Setu incestuous relationship and one
(38:02):
night potentially a fight broke off and they were potentially
in the park they were. Of course, can't prove these
things in the twenties, there's no there's no security cameras,
there's nothing. It is just yet is whatever you see now.
And we decided to go there kind of at the
(38:23):
typical time, you know, at night, kind of where dusk
is happening. We had brought these kind of hand radios
to like walkie talkies, but kind of a step up.
We had our other equipment with us detecting any sort
of electromagnetic field. You know, we were just asking all
(38:43):
the questions. We knew the names before. We went kind
of just seeing if we could get some sort of
back and forth. And it was a typical, typical evening.
You know, nothing crazy happened other than a little bit
of maybe a little EMF here there. And we thought,
you know, we should we should just call quits. And
(39:06):
we had one person on one end of the of
the pond and another person on the other end, and
all of a sudden, our radios pop off for no
no reason. We're not talking to one another, we're just
kind of gathering our things, and we hear a Transatlantic
voice come through the walkie talkies, and of course, you know,
(39:28):
you're looking at each other. You're like, who's talking? What
is this? And you hear a man's voice that potentially
he sounds like he's saying, you know you you've He says,
you've caught me in a rut. And then you hear
you you make me, you made me lie, and he's
he's so you just imagine him with like slick back,
(39:52):
you know, undercut hair, and he's just with the wild
eyes and everything and then you hear a woman's voice
say Bob, and we're like, what is going on? You know,
there's no way this could be any sort of I'll say,
semi truck or people. We talks in a Transatlantic accent,
(40:15):
and it just doesn't it just doesn't happen. Yeah, So
it turns out the dad's name was Bob and it
was Wallace. I had not I had to dig a
little deeper, Wallace cloy Skins. But he also went by Bob.
And because we believe that in a drunken stupor, they
(40:37):
suspected that that he had done this to her, that
he had hit her over the rock. So we think
she went into the water at one point, like running
running into the water to try and get away, and
then she ran down the edge of the pond and
then came back out and that's when it happened. And
(40:59):
we went I can look at our time and when
all this happened, and it was the suspected exact time
of when they believe she was murdered.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Wow, that's that's super spooky.
Speaker 6 (41:14):
Yeah, And we and and this you can you can
hear that. We obviously kept the recording because we had
our audio recorders going. We had our video recorders going. Yeah,
but it's nice. You can't see a whole lot, and
we have that on our episode so that people can
listen to it.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
Yes, which, by the way, would you like to mention
where people can listen to that episode?
Speaker 6 (41:36):
Of course, so Creepy Confidential at Creepy Confidential YouTube, it's
the Sylvia Games episode. At the very end, we play
those audio samples and you can imagine them happening at
the time.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
Of the murder.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Yes, definitely definitely check that out. It will make that
story even spookier.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (41:56):
You can kind of listen to the whole story, read
the whole story. But I didn't. I was just made
all of our hair stand up. We couldn't. As soon
as we heard the voices and we were able to
determine that this was not this was not anything around us.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
I don't know why. For some reason, it always makes
it like when you hear like a ghost voice and
it's just a normal voice, you're like, okay, But when
you hear one that has like a different exit from
a different time, it makes it creepier. And I don't
know why.
Speaker 6 (42:25):
Yeah, because there's no because people don't don't talk, you know,
just we just don't talk that way. We don't have
that yes, say, you know this is like we had
we have.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
A correct all ghosts used to be mobster.
Speaker 6 (42:42):
Yeah, I mean that's it's crazy because it makes sense.
They were traveling more, they were there were they were
starting to kind of get I'll say immigrants that were
moving up in the in the world. They weren't just
all suffering and really struggling. They started to have higher
paying jobs and it was but they weren't necessarily first
(43:02):
generation here, so they still had just a swig of something.
But that was that was our crazy story.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
It may be pretty wild, and I mean it is
a great brief story, quick question for you.
Speaker 6 (43:22):
I definitely found out, you know, there was more. I
had lived in that area for a long time and
it was really interesting to find out all of the
little things that leading up to this. It kind of
makes you go, like, why was she with him? Why
were they having it there? What about the wife?
Speaker 2 (43:37):
Yeah, it's drama, drama, yeah, and then you you know,
hear a ghost.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
Yeah. Right.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
We've been asking everyone tonight what their favorite Halloween candy
is and what your Halloween costume is By the way.
Speaker 6 (43:55):
Oh well, we love that. So my favorite candy is
you know, butter the ref peanut butter cup. It's over
my favorite perfectly. You don't you can. You can bite
a little or take the whole thing. It's like a
choose your own adventure. And my costume this year is
going to be a vampire queen. Yes, and of course
(44:18):
that's my favorite favorite time year. I will be tricker.
I'll be out with the trick or treaters, panding out candy,
hoping to scare them.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
Yes, that's what we were talking about earlier, is uh,
we missed the days of good old trick or treating,
Like trunk or treat has its time and place, but
you don't get to meet your neighbors that way.
Speaker 6 (44:36):
Oh yeah yeah. And now I've been doing it for
a couple of years and now I think they look
forward to it because I did. I acted in haunted
houses and built hant in houses, you know, attractions back
in the day. So I take it very seriously.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
As you should. As you should. A few of our
neighbors already like decorated, and they've done it pretty big,
and I'm like, okay, I know now that I have
to step it up next year. I just had to
make sure because like I just moved. I was like,
I just got to make sure that you know, they're
not gonna get married about this. Yeah, no exactly. But
there's like there's two other houses in our neighborhood that
(45:11):
are like they really did it up. One has the
twelve foot skeleton and it glows, and I'm like, all right.
Speaker 6 (45:18):
Some of those but they never glow.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
They must have done it themselves. They must have done
it themselves. Their whole back patio is also decorated in Halloween.
I'm just like, I want to be friends with this person.
Speaker 4 (45:30):
So that's how you make.
Speaker 6 (45:30):
Friends if you're like I need to know, I need
to know the inner working How did they do this?
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Yeah? And can we coordinate next year? Yes, exactly. If
we can get the whole neighborhood in on a theme,
like everybody pick a different scary movie and you're doing
that scary Like that'd be awesome.
Speaker 5 (45:47):
That'd be incredible, and just have house to house to
house to house. Yes, Oh, there'd be such a journey
for the kids.
Speaker 2 (45:53):
Yes, I would love that. It'd be so fun, so fun.
Speaker 6 (45:58):
Yeah, And I've done I've done I'll say safe costumes
where they're not they're not gory, and I still build
them from head to toe. I build characters and that's
who I go with. Yeah, but this year we're turning
up the volume. I've been watching my vampire traditional vampire movies,
and I was like, no, no, they're we're gonna scare
them this year.
Speaker 3 (46:19):
For a blood. Yes.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
These are always my favorite house as a kid.
Speaker 6 (46:26):
Oh yeah, I'm like, should I put a little like
a little like a little beauty band? Should I put
it in front of my face so I don't scare
the little And I'm like, nah, you can always have it.
Scare them last year. I tried to scare them last
year and I did the It was basically a ghost bride,
(46:46):
but I made the whole thing and my eye was
had a contact in one eye. I died the whole thing,
like I was head to tell. Handing out candy to
these little, tiny kids. All they cared about was the
fact that something was wrong with my eye. Not scared
at all.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
They were like, okay, and you look cool, but like
is your eye okay?
Speaker 6 (47:06):
Yeah? Like off on the mouths of babe. That was
so cute.
Speaker 2 (47:16):
You're supposed to be scared children say the nicest and
the weirdest.
Speaker 3 (47:22):
The person says, pink saw me, and they were I
mean they were little.
Speaker 6 (47:29):
They were probably like, i'll say, between three and four
feet all like they were. They were tiny. And they're
in their little you know, Bell Disney costume with their
little veil and everything. That's all they They don't and
they just stare at the one eye, not both my eyes.
Speaker 2 (47:45):
Yeah, again, that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (47:52):
That's so cute.
Speaker 6 (47:55):
Yeah, they're they're at the middle age. As soon as
they go above like ten, terrified of everything. I had
some time to get that that life trauma in them,
A little one like, oh I care about is my
fruit roll up?
Speaker 2 (48:09):
It's not real. Yeah, that's how I feel about a
lot of life. I'm like, listen, I got some fruit
roll ups.
Speaker 6 (48:17):
Yeah, that's all I care about. I'm not afraid that
anything else.
Speaker 2 (48:20):
All I need is life, no fear, only fruit. Now
I want to get fruit roll ups.
Speaker 4 (48:28):
It does sound good.
Speaker 2 (48:29):
It does sound good.
Speaker 6 (48:30):
I know they're delicious. Oh my gosh. That's another friend
of mine. Today. I was talking about Halloween candy. She's like,
I don't have to go buy three bigs.
Speaker 3 (48:37):
Just for me.
Speaker 2 (48:38):
Yes, I've always got you always have to buy a
bag for yourself.
Speaker 6 (48:45):
They are they Halloween or are they just regular?
Speaker 2 (48:48):
I think they're regular, But I think Scooby Doo counts
as Halloween.
Speaker 6 (48:53):
I mean it's their time of year, go for it.
Speaker 2 (48:55):
Yeah, and also they're pretty tasty, so it.
Speaker 6 (49:01):
Oh yeah, we're taking my phone call about it, calling in.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
We'll talk too soon. Thank you so much. Happy Halloween,
Happy Halloween.
Speaker 6 (49:14):
Problem, have a great night.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
Yeah you too, Happy.
Speaker 6 (49:18):
Happy Halloween.
Speaker 2 (49:20):
Good bye, bye, there we go, awesome.
Speaker 3 (49:27):
Yeah have you been Have you been picking up any
of the cars driving past me?
Speaker 2 (49:31):
No? No, I haven't.
Speaker 3 (49:34):
Okay, good.
Speaker 5 (49:35):
Are these the coyotes you were talking about earlier driving past?
Now they're they're mobile.
Speaker 2 (49:39):
They've stolen cars and they're driving away.
Speaker 3 (49:45):
Uh. It was actually was really cool. While she was
telling the story. Uh, the animals started howling really intensely.
It is pretty I had a pretty good soundtracks this evening.
Speaker 2 (50:03):
Well, we've got our own soundtrack here that you can't
hear since the audio does not go both ways with that,
and I have the Sandman game still pulled up on
wiki how, which I think is so funny. That's on
there because there's pictures. So yeah, sand manahaw, you play
this one, you just straight lay in the center. One
person's a storyteller, and then if you have more people
that are like part of this game that aren't those two,
(50:24):
you just sit in a circle around this person. So
how we're talking about earlier, how people watching you sleep
is really creepy. Eh, well, I guess they're not asleep.
But yeah, so the funny thing is on this one,
there is not a story written down. The sleeper or
the storyteller just makes up a story about how the
(50:45):
sleeper died, so details are fully up to you.
Speaker 4 (50:48):
It was an improv.
Speaker 2 (50:50):
It's an improv exercise. Yeah, so yeah, in the story,
sleeper dies and then you're slowly sliced open and filled
with sand. So we would always do the and you
cut it open and pack it full of sand and
then you sew it back up, and they would do
that on each thing, and you'd slowly do it on
(51:10):
each thing. While you're the sleeper, you just like, you
just chill. So then obviously the end of that, they're like,
all right, now you got to stand up, and supposely
if you don't stand up fast enough, you get possessed
by the sand man. But yeah, oh, they do have
(51:31):
scary story examples down here. Let's go all right, let's
read the first one. A man chased you in the woods. Boom.
You tripped over a rock and broke your ankle. The
man caught up to you and pulled out a knife.
He ran it across your ankles and then sliced them open.
He filled them with sand. He ran his knife across
(51:51):
your arms and sliced them open, and he filled them
with sand. You tried to escape, but your body was
too heavy. Finally, he slit your throat so you couldn't scream,
and stitched you back up. That one did not have
his main details. We went really detail because you really
want the body to fall asleep. Oh there's three examples here, Okay,
(52:13):
I'll read the other two. You were walking down the
street when someone ran up behind you and knocked you out.
When you woke up, you couldn't identify your surroundings, but
you heard footsteps running towards you. It was a man
with a knife, always a man with a knife. He
came closer, sliced your shoulders and filled them with sand.
He slid his knife across your legs and sliced them open.
(52:34):
He filled them with sand. He finally read the blade
across your neck and sliced your throat, and he filled
it with sand and stitched you up. We went way
too in detail. And then the last one on here
is there was once a woman who lived in a
quiet neighborhood. She had no idea she was being watched
from afar. The sand man followed her every move, waiting
(52:58):
for the opportunity to strike. One day, the woman forgot
to lock her front door, so the sandman snuck into
her apartment with a knife. He sliced her legs open
and filled him with sand. She began to scream, so
he taped her mouth shut. He sliced her arms and
filled him with sand. He finally slid his knife across
her face and sliced her throat, and he filled it
(53:18):
with sand. And I like that it specifies you're supposed
to lightly pat instead of just like twa smack in
your friend. Yeah. No, we would really go through it
all because we would always use a specific wording like yeah,
an he cut up in your arm and he packed
it full of sand. It was always packed full of sand,
was the way we always phrased it, so maybe that's
a regional Ohio thing, southern Ohio. But uh, very fun
(53:44):
And yeah, of course you couldn't get up afterwards. Your
body was basically asleep from laying on the floor for
twenty minutes not moving while you're listening to your friend
talk about how you got murdered. Isn't it Halloween? Fun?
Speaker 3 (53:55):
That's happened?
Speaker 4 (53:58):
Storytailers of assault to you?
Speaker 2 (54:01):
Truly? Yeah, I don't remember that one ever, being like
a set story every time, so I think we did improv.
So I feel like I need to have a sleepover
now and play this game again.
Speaker 4 (54:12):
I really want to you.
Speaker 2 (54:14):
We're gonna strange shock sleepover not tonight, but like so, yeah,
I super want to play.
Speaker 3 (54:23):
That sounds pretty fun.
Speaker 2 (54:24):
Yeah, no, that sounds great. We are hitting the top
of the hour here in just a minute. Is there
anything else about Halloween that you all wanted to talk about?
We got a six minutes ish, I.
Speaker 3 (54:43):
I guess I'll say, Uh, it is not to be
a bummer, but it is. I believe a lot of
black cats get harmed on Halloween night.
Speaker 2 (54:56):
You were in the season leading.
Speaker 3 (54:58):
Up to that, So if if any of you out
there in radio land want to take in a black
cat for the night. Tonight would be the night to
do that.
Speaker 2 (55:11):
It would be the night to do that. It's better
to not leave them out. Halloween is about treating and tricking. Unfortunately,
some children hurt animals and some you know, best of
adults too. People are messed up sometimes.
Speaker 3 (55:30):
And as much as we love monsters here on Strange Talk,
we don't like that kind of model.
Speaker 2 (55:37):
We like the like fun monsters that like, I don't know,
will terrorize a community, not that will like hurt animals
that didn't do anything.
Speaker 3 (55:47):
Yeah, and yeah, did you g Sorry for that weird tangent,
but that popped in my head.
Speaker 2 (55:58):
That's fairy black cat today in the neighborhood.
Speaker 5 (56:02):
Yeah, just Halloween is a spooky, scary, fun time. If
you graduate from trigger treating and you're having parties and
stuff like that, good awesome, you know, keep it alive.
Remember Randy's rules. Never say you'll be back, because you
won't be back.
Speaker 2 (56:21):
You will never be back.
Speaker 5 (56:22):
But more importantly, look if you're if you're partying, if
you're doing something silly, if you're playing with chemicals, just uber, yes, yeah, uber,
brush your teeth.
Speaker 4 (56:34):
Happy Halloween.
Speaker 2 (56:36):
I'm pretty sure we can sign off on that note.
We can uh sign up. I'm gonna say Happy Halloween. First,
Happy Halloween everyone. I hope you got all the candy decided.
Do you have it? Do you have an evil laugh
for us? That's not my evil laugh. That one just
(57:02):
got me.
Speaker 4 (57:03):
That sounded so real.
Speaker 5 (57:04):
That sounded like an evil ex laugh, Like I think
I've actually heard that laugh before.
Speaker 2 (57:10):
I like, I want to try to do it now,
but it's not. It's not coming to me. That got
me anyway.
Speaker 3 (57:17):
To be fair, that's just kind of that's kind of
close to my normal laugh.
Speaker 2 (57:24):
It's not coming to me right now. Anyway, Happy Halloween.
We're gonna sign up from Strange talk, good night, and
good luck.
Speaker 3 (58:00):
Give me.
Speaker 7 (58:06):
Things to come up with the night, give me a
t ride. I turned around to sweat Shulder nights.
Speaker 2 (58:19):
Something was holding me time.
Speaker 7 (58:47):
It looked like an given right, seemed to come right
to the world. I thought for a time it would fight,
perhaps like a fother.
Speaker 1 (59:02):
The fo this one.
Speaker 7 (59:12):
You kiss speaking nights, it's said shooting.
Speaker 1 (59:32):
Get the light to give me together, get to give me.
Speaker 2 (59:41):
A fight to get from from the look up with
the Knights. Get me a table, Frock.
Speaker 7 (59:57):
I turned Rob the sweat shudder Knights. Something was holding
me up, and the eyes turning, turn him up, out,
turn him up, turn him up, turning up, turn him up, turning.
Speaker 3 (01:00:19):

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Killing, the
Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
Killing, the
Space in in.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Good evening and welcome to the hour dedicated to talking
about all things strange, weird and paranormal. You're listening to
Strange Talk podcasting on sixteen sixty AM in Northside ninety
one point seven f M h G, twowvx U and Cincinnati.
We're also streaming at Radio artiffact dot com around the
entire planet Earth. The intro track to this episode and
most of our episodes is the Star Soak or is
the Strange Shock intro by Star Soak and I am
(01:50):
your host, Alex.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
And I am your host creature. Yeah, happy, holloway cool.
Oh yeah, you're development in skel of zooms.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Perfect, no notes, I didn't even plan what to say.
You were on top of it. Great. So yeah, we're
we're we're doing the Halloweens. We're I don't know what
that means, but we're doing Collins tonight. Although we do
have a guest who is here with me because you
(02:26):
already had a ghost story.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
I do have to get a story.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Am I muted still or no, you're unmuted, So just
talking to the mic.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
A long time ago with some of me and my friends,
we went on a big nice trip through West Virginia
doing the first time I ever went to the Mothman Museum
and stuff like that. And this was at the time
I was working overnight, so I was already like, I'm good, ready, I,
you know, have all the energy that I need. So
(02:58):
I was the one who's driving. I woke up the
I just didn't sleep pretty much, and I just drove
up to Point Pleasant and then all the way to Weston,
West Virginia to the trans Allegheny Luna Tic Asylum where
we were going to go ghost hunting. And I have
never been ghost hunting before. I grew up watching so
(03:18):
much stuff showing me how to ghost hunting, you know,
EVP reports and stuff like that, and all the technology
I needed, so I thought I was ready. So the
Transalghanty Lunaic Asylum is the big scary psychiatric hospital that
like everyone thinks about. Really it's not Waverly Hills, no
(03:42):
TV or anything, but that place was honestly, very very
very spooky. It was four floors and it was incredibly dark,
no electricity like flowing through the except for the bottom floor.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
And we were going floor by floor and just kind.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Of they were getting to leave out and stuff like that,
and telling us what happened there in the history, you.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Know, this is the Men's Wars, the Female Award.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
And we were at the very top and the hallway
in front of me was just pitch black and I
could kind of only see a little bit of light
coming in from outside. And I looked over to my
left and I just see this big black void of
(04:30):
form leaning casually against the door frame next to me,
like just kind of like relaxing, like okay, got my
shoulder up and everything, and I screamed. I have never
in my life screamed so loudly, so authentically in.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
My entire life.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
And it was just one of the people that were
there with me while we were doing our tour, and
I didn't realize it was him, and he was just
he just happened to be standing at that like and.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Scared the of me.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
So uh as stupid as it was, that was like
one of the scariest moments of my life because I
was so ready to see it.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Go yeah, and I finally it was just a random person.
It was like, hey, yeah, James, what's up.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Yeah. His wife was like, oh my god, I should
seeing with the lights on.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
So I did actually end up seeing like or like
experiencing a lot of weird stuff there. I highly recommend
it if you get to go.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
It's so spooky.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
I think they've actually done a lot more work to
add on whole tracks of the hospital for tours and
stuff now has an amazing history. There's actually a good
episode of flore by Aaron Mankee if you guys listen
to that on.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, I haven't caught up and lost time.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Yeah, it's been going for years now. So I did
see lot you know, spooky things there.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Are you also hearing that door? Or am I losing
it right now? It sounds like a creaky door.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I stepped outside.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Oh, I was like, are we being haunted through the phone?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Are ultimately scary?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I was just like, I didn't put a soundboard on
this one because we've been shown that we cannot be
trusted with.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
That happy Halloween.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Oh sorry about that?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Oh you're all good. I was just like, what what?
I didn't do a soundboard? I know it's not me.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
First blood. Second, I was like should I should I
not say anything and be like no I heard.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
That, No, we heard it. Don't worry.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
The closest thing, real good ghost story that I got.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, that was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Honestly, I'm trying to think if I have any good
like visual ghost stories, because I feel like most of
what I've seen has been more like stuff moves. I'm liken't.
I don't know about that. I'm not cool with that.
But I don't think I've really like seen scene a ghost.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I think I don't know if I've ever told it
on the show, but I have one very It was
a couple of years ago. But my sister has a
house and when she goes out of town with my
with my brother in law to visit his family, she'll
(07:46):
ask if I can house it, right m hm, And
it's a it's a house with a basement and television
and all that's in a basement, right yeah. So I
was downstairs watching movies and I hear it has to
(08:06):
be around like two am. I just.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
Start.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I just hear feet running across the kitchen upstairs, and
I'm a little a little freaked out because my first
thought isn't ghost. My first thought is like intruder. And
so I go up there and there's just no one
(08:32):
up there. And that was like some some legitimately unnerving stuff. Yeah,
I was like, I'm just gonna stay awake all night now. Yeah,
that's about my only ghost story.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
That's what I get a lot of too.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I think I've heard a lot of ghosts, and I
know that I heard a lot of weird things.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, I've heard and not seeing like the ghost itself,
but like seeing weird things that I'm like, I don't
like that. We're not doing that. But it's mostly it's
mostly heard, which I think I'm fine with that. If
I see it, I'm gonna feel way worse than if
I just hear it, because you know, there's all kinds
(09:18):
of weird sound anomalies I probably have tonightis you know. Yeah,
but uh, I'm not thinking if I've got some more
spooky stories. But since it is Halloween, what's our favorite
Halloween candy?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Twizzlers?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Twizzlers. Twizzling Twizzlers are my like road trip snack as creature.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
If I if I gotta go Halloween candy, Uh, this
is really spooky for a lot of people. But candy
corn and candy pumpkins, Oh.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
That is spiky. They're just pure. I mean they're corn
at heart, really, aren't.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
We are just corn? At heart.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I'm from Ohio, so I actually.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Am I wanted. I wanted to try this candy that
apparently just came out that I heard about. What's caramel
stuffed marshmallows.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I don't, Oh, I don't know about that one.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
That seems like a texture nightmare.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, that's what I'm like, texture wise, I hate that.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yeah, sticky, I will say, I guess, I guess. Technically
my favorite Halloween seemed candy is the pumpkin shavers.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
These cups, but I mean, okay, yes, they are superior
to the normal. Yeah, and I don't know why. I think.
I think something about the shape gives it the correct
chocolate to peanut butter ratio.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
That was like the eggs, the Easter egg. Yeah, like
that's like the perfect size for my mouth.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
See we were okay, Christie, you weren't here for this,
but I was talking earlier about how spoon size matters,
Like it's just a sensory thing. I like to use
big spoons. You do not. People have spoon preferences. It's
just a thing. I don't know. Tiny spoons. I'm just like,
I don't like tiny spoons are for ice cream for me.
(11:24):
That's what I associate them with, which doesn't make any
sense at all. It's I have a weird brain, which happens.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
The best brains are weird.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
The best brains are weird.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Thankfully, your weird brain is perfect for this format.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I mean, it's not called strange talk for nothing.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
It's true. What's your favorite candy?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Oh? Oh, my favorite candy h as far as getting them,
like candy that I only get around Halloween, the fruit
flavored tutsi rolls. I hate normal tozy rolls, but I
love the weird fruit flavor ones that end up at
the bottom of your bag on Halloween. And everyone's like, eh,
I don't know, and I was like, give me all
(12:09):
of them.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
You were my best spread out of playground. Give you
all of them.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I'll trade you some Twizzlers for them.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Yes, exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
It's not that I don't love Twizzlers.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Basically, they basically like kaffe are they?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I mean kind of at that point they're like taffy,
but they're not gonna break your teeth. And I mean
unless they're really stale.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Yeah, they made those the seventies, so they're probably.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Still probably all stale. Yeah, they probably were all made
in the seventies are.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Just chocolate taffy.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Uh so, okay, I looked this up. They're not even
chocolate flavored. They're berry flavored.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
What kind of berry?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I don't I don't know. The more I read, the
more confused I got, Like, look up what a twototzy
roll flavor is, and you will regret everything. Actually, I
guess I will look it up.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
They talked about missing the mark on what a pair?
Speaker 4 (13:08):
I mean, neither berry nor chocolate totsy roll.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Oh, come on night, what is the original one. It's
trying to give me all the like actual fruit flavors,
And I'm like, no, no, no, what did they create? What
abomination have they set upon us?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
What? What aberration into our reality?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Okay, this one's saying it is cocoa flavor, but what
I was reading was saying that it was not, and
that they messed up. Yeah, a perfectly balanced cocoa taste
lined with a subtle fruit flavored undertone to zero answer to.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
The people, just not a specific fruit, just fruit.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yeah, just vaguely fruit flavor. I mean, I don't know
they tried. I guess it exists.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Oh yeah, you know the only time I ever I
ever a favorite TUTSI role is when they're just around
and no one's eating them, and I'm like, I guess
I'll eat a tootsi roll.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Well I guess. So.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Oh you are? Are you guys, uh excited for tonight
since it's Halloween night?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Yeah? Actually, yeah, that's another good question. What are you
all dressing up as for Halloween?
Speaker 4 (14:42):
I am doing Atlas from Alice in Wonderland.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, yeah, that's a good one, like the original Analyst. Yeah, okay, yeah,
not the video game.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
That Yeah, that's next year.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
I was actually the one to say that.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah. I was like, what do you gna next year?
And you're like Alice and the like again and You're like, no, no, no, no,
no different alists. There's so many Alice from Twilight. Uh
the other Alice I can think of right now? Oh god?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Uh yeah no, no, oh I'm gonna I'm probably gonna
go as a skeleton because classic I have the stuff
to addressed up as a skeletons.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
That's pretty had.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
You guys can hear this, but there are coyotes and
dogs howling in the background, so I apologize if that
picks up, but it is pretty spooky.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Oh, it's not picking up, and I so regret that
it is. I didn't even do a soundboard. I don't
remember what sounds are programmed in here, and I.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Well, you know what with the dog Man of County, Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
So the only this board comes pre programmed with sounds,
and so the only sounds that have available our applause,
which I'm not going to hit because it doesn't end,
it goes on forever, or I have rim shot that
didn't or said trombone yeah, actually here there we go. Yeah,
(16:21):
I've just never replaced them on there, so They've just
been hanging out at the bottom of the board, just waiting.
There's so many moments that I'm sure I could have
hit that button and have not. So, you know, you're
welcome for the restraint.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
This isn't like a morning talk show or anything like that. See,
this is a higher caliber.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
It's higher caliber. You make me want to hit the
applause button so bad, but it literally does not stop.
It would just go for the rest of the show
and we would just kind of have to live with that.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Are deserving a constant Alex.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
For him, Alex vouch for me that at one point
I said we should try a I'm more you a
Strange Talk, just to see how that goes.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
A morning?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
What a morning? Oh?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Oh like, yeah, yeah, I gotcha. I just all I
heard was morning. It went, oh god, you don't want
strange talk in the morning. It wouldn't go well, it
wouldn't be able to be aired. I am not a
morning person. The FCC would find me specifically.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Yeah, we have like the Strange Talk T shirt can
and it's like, you're welcome this Strange Talk your place
for a strange radio.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah, since that's the only one I got right now.
Oh wait, I guess I do get this. Hey, creature,
I just realized, can you even hear that?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I cannot?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I forgot that the sounds only go one way? Oh
that's even better. You don't know what sound effects I'm
hitting igic.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I'm assuming it.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Was that followed by rimshot. That didn't I feel like,
especially talking about the sound board, this should be unsurprising.
Now I have a clown costume for Halloween that I'm
depending on if I should put it on or not.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Do it.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I'll be the you're here now and it's Halloween. What
I'm saying is I'm just putting on the little hat
right now in my little clown shoe.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Is it scary clown or is it like sexy clown?
Because I've seen a lot of that this year.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I don't think it's either. I think it's just like
I think it's scary sexy clown. It's like a pierrot clown.
It's like all black and white, so it's not particularly scary,
but I can I can make it scary.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
Dramatic that people are going to ask you if you're
Art the Clown, though from terrifying.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Oh, you're right, you're going to get a lot of that.
Maybe I shouldn't wear that. Uh. When we were at Scarefest,
we talked about that last episode, so we're not gonna
talk about it again. But one of the things that
we didn't mention while we were there. There there were
so many people dressed is Art the Clown, and at
one point, because they all had the little Honko honk,
(19:21):
they started playing Marco polo with their little Honko hon ko,
like Marco poloing around all of the Art the clowns.
It was kind of amazing. So that is the one
bit of Scarefest that I forgot to mention, and I
mostly have my voice back from that. Oh my gosh,
I talk so much and I did not ever want
to talk to another person again after that. But we're here,
(19:43):
we're doing it. I don't know if the radio show
counts as talking to another person.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
It's just, you know, I don't think it does.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
It's kind of like talking to myself. It feels like
sometimes like it's not the same pressure as talking to
I don't know, a person I don't know. Explain that
it makes sense to me.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
We met a fan, didn't we.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yeah, we did. I don't know if I talked about
it or not. We met a couple of people. Yeah,
she said her name was Leonor at Scarefest, which was
really cool. And then right and at an octoberfest, I
met Elizabeth and her mom, who apparently both listened in,
So hellow to you both. I think that is so cute.
(20:31):
I think I kind of touched on this, But like,
I don't always hear from people who listen to the show,
So when people tell me they listen to it, it's
really cool. Because making the show half the time feels
like I am yelling into the void, stuffing it in
a bottle and then throwing it in the ocean and
I don't know what happens to it. It's just out
there and it is not my problem anymore. But it's
(20:52):
kind of nice for people to be like, hey, I
found your bottle that you hear in the ocean. I'm like,
oh sick. I was wondering what happened to that. So
it's it's it's actually like really nice to hear from
people who listen to the show and are like, oh, yeah,
I listened to that with my mom, which is the
sweetest thing. I'm gonna cry.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Oh yeah, that was a big thing for me and
my mom.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Actually, yeah, yeah, we would like she got me. She
told me about Coast to Coast. Really, I was very
little and we would hang out in her car. I
don't know why her car.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Has the best radio reception, honestly, I guess so because
you're moving around.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
It was so it was two in the morning, yes,
and I still remember that hat. Yeah, because of the
time difference to a you'd go out to my mom's
car and we'd listened to Coast to Code.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
That's part of why they started it. I think they
started at like eleven pms that way, all across the
coast they would be getting it in the middle of
the night to make it extra like, which it was
never actually meant to be, like a spooky show. It's
just a talk show that happened to be, like, well,
what's out there? And the answer is aliens and ghosts
and weird, weird stuff that we can't explain.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Holes that just don't end.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Mail's hole is so classic. I wonder. I wonder what
Mail's up to now. I'm sure I can look that up,
but part of me doesn't want to ruin the mystery exactly.
He might be in the hole for all we know,
I hope.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
So. So, now that Coast to Coast.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Is over, what's not over?
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Is it not?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
No George Noruri took over? Or Snorri? Is the people
call him? Y?
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Yeah, there is that one right now that you no
longer listen to Coast to Coast, do you listen to
us with your mom and the car?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I don't talk to my mom right now, but she
is aware. She knows the strange thought.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Your mom's aware of about that, so I listen. She
might I don't know if she's listening.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Maybe she wanted to be emailing us and I'll be like, hi,
am mom, Hey don't text me. Yeah, don't, don't. Don't
do it, do it. We're explicitly asking you not to.
It'd be kind of rude to do that after we
asked you not to be too spooky. Yeah, happy Halloween.
You deserve a treat and that is your mom not
(23:11):
texting you and could be trick. Oh no, that's true.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
I remember thinking that was sacri saint. As a kid,
like you actually had to like you had to pick.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Yeah, you had to. You had to pick too. Like.
It wasn't like you go trigg or treating. No, you
went up and you hoped that everyone gave you a treat.
You hoped that they didn't trick you. But then there's
some houses where it was trick and treat. Those are
some of my favorite where it was usually some teenager
was like hiding behind some bushes that you didn't see him,
and so you'd like get your candy and then they'd jump
(23:44):
out and scare the ever loving god out of you.
It was great.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Or the werewolf guy that just sits perfectly still on
the bench in front, perfect and lunges at you and
you reach for the candy.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
It's so perfect. Halloween is just a perfect holidays. I
mean it's getting to be less cool, but I mean
we can make it cool again.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Personally, I say band trunk or treat.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I think that that makes it so boring. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Trunk or treat should be reserved for like rural kids
who's nearest neighbor is like ten miles away. That's when
you do yeah, well.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Because I think trunk or treat you're just meeting other
parents who also have kids instead of getting to meet
your actual neighbors, like the nice old lady down the
way who may or may not be a witch, but
like doesn't have a lot of friends or family and
really enjoys kids coming trig or treating because that's when
she gets interact with people. Things like that. You get
to actually meet your neighbors and not just the ones
(24:55):
that are parents with kids. I know. I think that's
part of why Halloween's coool holiday. It's a community event exactly.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
It's the only holiday that's really based around the community,
not around.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Your family and your family. And that's why I only
trunk or treat it bases it around your family. It
should be about your community.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
Everyone's just so worried and scared nowadays, I guess so
the razor blades in your candy.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Which is funny because all that stuff happened, like all
the rumors of that happened back in the day, and
all of it was so I parent was trying to
murder their kid. Yeah, and that was the only instance
of it. But now it has become this big thing.
Everone's afraid of it. I will say, I partially get it.
It's definitely parents perpetuate that so that way they can
look through your candy first and take what they want.
(25:39):
I understand that that is the main reason that I
think that gets perpetuated is they're like, now, Timmy, I
gotta make sure there's no razor blades in your dutsy
bowls that are chuck cocoa and fruit flavored.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
There was just something of a ritual about how though,
like everyone agreed, we're going to make our house this
looks scary.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Yeah, you're going to come over the scary of the house.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Better.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
The candy absolutely, because they cared, they did.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Care, and fun sizes were actually fun too. Not to
be old about it, but Snickers fun sized bars have
gotten smaller.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah, they have well. And then there was always the
one house that gave out the king size candy dolls,
and they were legends in your neighborhood. And there was
always the one neighbor that would give you like a toothbrush,
and you're like, okay, thanks. In retrospect, I actually do
appreciate you. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
I don't know. I don't think we can describe that
neighbor on the radio.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
But you know, again, in retrospect, I do actually appreciate
the toothbrush. I did not at the time, and I
was a fool. It was like when you were a
kid and someone gives you socks and you're like, oh sucks.
Now I as an adult, I'm like, oh socks, My
socks always go missing. Why are they always missing? But yeah, no,
like you said, like you get to go out in
(26:57):
your community. You walk around, you get all your candy eat.
So you go with your friends and or sometimes the siblings,
or sometimes your parents, depending or sometimes just by yourself.
If your parents are like whatever, it's the nineties, go
please don't die whatever you remember back in the day
when they might have been like, yeah, it's ten o'clock,
are your kids at home? And like parents were all like,
(27:18):
oh god, I've been watching TV for three hours, and
I go, yeah, so yeah, you got to like it.
It tastes of freedom a little bit, unless you know,
you had to go with your sibling. You got to
meet all your neighbors, you got all this candy, and
then the ritual of it for us afterwards was we
would always go back to somebody's house afterwards and we
(27:40):
would sort through all over candy in trade all the
good stuff while telling ghost stories. And that was the
most fun part to me was we have all this candy,
now we're all hyped up. We're gonna stay up all
night telling ghost stories. And it was so much fun.
And also like usually somebody would order pizza because it
was like, okay, you can't eat just sugar for dinner.
(28:01):
I remember the neighborhood that I grew up in. Technically
I was outside the neighborhood, but they claimed me as
one of their own. There was this one house there
that was always the house that would all go to,
you know, afterwards, after trigger treating, and they'd have a
big Halloween party and we would do do you remember
those games where you would lie on the floor and
(28:23):
they would like take you through a story, and I
remember there was two of them that I remember. One
was it was talking about how you know, cut your
body open and pack it full of sand, and cut
your other arm open and pack it full of sand.
And so at the end of the story, they'd be like, Okay,
now try to get up, and you try to get
up and you couldn't. And so because the story was like, oh,
your body's full of sand like you were a sandman.
(28:45):
Now it's really just you've been lying on the floor
not moving for like a good twenty to thirty minutes.
Your body is just as sleep. But the other one
that actually really freaked me out was one called Cat Scratches,
where they would go through this whole thing and I
don't remember the whole story now, but basically there was
a black cat and in the story, it scratches you.
(29:08):
And so at the end of this game, you'd be
laying flat on the board on the floor and you'd
roll over and lift up your shirt and then they
would count the number of cat scratches on your back.
And there was always scratches on the person's back. And
I'm trying to think, like, in retrospect, it had to
be like the wrinkles from your clothes or something. But
that freaked me out as a kid. It like absolutely
(29:30):
freaked me out. Yeah, we kind of did the light
as of feather, stiff as a board stuff, but it
was mostly stuff like that. Yeah. Did you all have
any like fun weird rituals like that or were we
just really weird?
Speaker 6 (29:47):
No?
Speaker 4 (29:47):
I never did.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Anythink of that. Honestly, me and the guys leave to
we do out trick or treating that there was a
abandon store that we would hang out and during the year.
But uh so it loo wasn't weird to just go
into those place just because whoever owned it just didn't
care about the leaves or couldn't leave it out. But
(30:10):
we uh there's like three or four years in a
row where we go trick or treating and then go
hang out in there till like midnight just telling. Uh.
I guess we told ghost stories and spooky stories.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
But.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Not probably nothing is the well thought out or creative
is what you did?
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Well? I didn't make these up. These were these were
like things that were like passed down. I mean, I'm
going to look it up all.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
Some scary stories to tell it in the dark sight
type rituals.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Oh my mom was the one who did those, because.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
I know here's another another little side spooky story. Either
of you are familiar with the one man hide and
seek creepy pasta where you have to like get a
teddy bear, you take out the fluffing and you put
in rice and you had to sew it up with
(31:07):
red bread you put it in. I'm trying to remember
the exact thing. It's one of those creepy pastas. That's
like step one, this, step two, that, and you had
to like turn on a TV fuzzy channel, which I
don't even think you can do anymore. Yeah, so you
can hear the weird voices coming through and this doll
apparently will chase you through your house and play hide
(31:30):
and seek with you. So I was not there for that,
but I was there the next day when my ex
came over and was ranting to me about it and
telling me that she needed to burn this doll because
it had chased her all through her house last night
and that doll was pretty spooky.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Ye, honestly.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
So I had a fire pit in the back of
my house and we had to to burn this this
rice beard burn there.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Yeah. Burn.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Yeah, gosh, it does sound like some weird like sometimes
you gotta burn the riceberr, you know what I'm saying.
So I did look it up and I found I
don't I don't remember if this was the exact story
we had, because obviously they're kind of regional. But I
do have the cat scratch story if you all want
me to read it. It says, so, when you're playing
(32:29):
this game, Yeah, so you have the one person sit
and then the other person sits and their head is
sting in your lap and you kind of rub their
temples while you do this. So imagine that you were
laying in someone's lap and theyre rubbing your temples, kind
of like you would pet a cat. And it says
you were walking through a dark alley late at night.
You were the only one there. The ground is slick
(32:49):
with rain, and the alley is filled with garbage cans
and litter. But then you hear something of movement in
the garbage cans. You pick up your pace. You want
to get out of the alley fat, but then you
see something red eyes glowing, red cat eyes. They're the
eyes of an enormous cat. You run, but the cat
chases and jumps on you. It scratches you one two three,
(33:12):
cat scratch, cat scratch, cat scratch, And that's when you're
supposed to roll the person over and see how many
cat scratches they have on their back. Spooky and they're
like we would always be like, oh, you want to
get the most cat scratches, not that there was any
way to like really control a lot, but I always
thought that was fun. And my gosh, why are children's
(33:32):
games so creepy? Because yeah, the website that I found
this on was like, yeah, these are like the games
that kids play at party, like Owija and Bloody Mary
and cat Scratch, and so this one is sort of
like light as a feather, stip as a board. They
theorize that it's like a sort of form of group hypnosis.
(33:53):
But like, as a kid, I never could figure out
why you had the marks on the back because they
wouldn't hurt, they were just there. But I'm thinking now
and I'm like, oh, it's probably like close wrinkles. But
it's interesting. I wonder if I can find the Sandman one.
Speaker 5 (34:10):
And that's like a thing that continues today because I
know there was that Charlie Charlie thing like maybe five
six years ago that kids were doing where you've put
like two pencils over each other, and that is like
divining answers somehow.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yeah, yeah, because it is kind of like dowsing kind of.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Yeah, kids are spooky.
Speaker 5 (34:32):
That's just what we do. When you're a kid, you
just make up weird spooky games.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Yeah. I found on wiki how let me see if
this is the Sandman one.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
I'd love that there's pictures for this. So it says
choose two players to be the sleeper and the storyteller.
Oh yeah, so obviously you have to have the lights
off for all of these or else it doesn't count.
Oh oh, hold on, we have a call in. Hold on,
I will read this after this. Okay, Hello, you're on
(35:08):
with Strange Talk.
Speaker 6 (35:11):
What's up, creep?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Hi? How are you doing, pretty kid? How about you?
Speaker 6 (35:17):
I'm doing fantastic.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
We were just talking about the creepy rituals that kids do.
Did you ever play the Sandman game?
Speaker 6 (35:27):
I did not. I would say I had a fairy
sheltered existence.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Our neighborhood was full of menaces unfortunately slash fortunately for me.
But yes, do you have a ghost story for us.
Speaker 6 (35:46):
I do because, as you know, I was a paranormal
investigator in Washington State for a long time before I
moved out here to Ohio, and we decided to do
an investigation based off of some claims that were happening
at Green Lake Park in Green Lakes I'll say Seattle
(36:10):
slash Washington. It's not quite in the heart of Seattle.
So the claims that were there, you know, we were
because of Sylvia Gaines was murdered in that park and
they had found her in a i'll say, in a
position that that claimed, you know, maybe something had happened
(36:31):
to her, maybe she had been sexually assaulted. What what
happened to her? And all these years had gone by
after this grizzly murder, you know, made all the papers,
and people were now seeing and having encounters with a
potential female spirit in this park that was wandering around
the lake. And these claims had been happening for years.
(36:54):
So that was one thing that we had read about,
you know, perhaps a restless spirit. We hadn't read too
far into why, you know what, why were we being
haunted and that sort of thing, but that for sure,
the female spirit kept popping up people kept talking about it,
so that was we were like, well, let's let's read
(37:16):
into it. So it turns out June seventeenth, nineteen twenty six,
you know, a kind of a carpenter checking the end
of the park had discovered made a grizzly discovery of
this woman left near the park. She was nearly naked.
She was sprawled out, like I mentioned in a very
(37:37):
you know it's not so good position. They found a
bloodied rock near her, and you know, she had a
severe head wound. Yeah, And it turns out that the
father was the first person that they fingered for this murder.
They may have had in Setu incestuous relationship and one
(38:02):
night potentially a fight broke off and they were potentially
in the park they were. Of course, can't prove these
things in the twenties, there's no there's no security cameras,
there's nothing. It is just yet is whatever you see now.
And we decided to go there kind of at the
(38:23):
typical time, you know, at night, kind of where dusk
is happening. We had brought these kind of hand radios
to like walkie talkies, but kind of a step up.
We had our other equipment with us detecting any sort
of electromagnetic field. You know, we were just asking all
(38:43):
the questions. We knew the names before. We went kind
of just seeing if we could get some sort of
back and forth. And it was a typical, typical evening.
You know, nothing crazy happened other than a little bit
of maybe a little EMF here there. And we thought,
you know, we should we should just call quits. And
(39:06):
we had one person on one end of the of
the pond and another person on the other end, and
all of a sudden, our radios pop off for no
no reason. We're not talking to one another, we're just
kind of gathering our things, and we hear a Transatlantic
voice come through the walkie talkies, and of course, you know,
(39:28):
you're looking at each other. You're like, who's talking? What
is this? And you hear a man's voice that potentially
he sounds like he's saying, you know you you've He says,
you've caught me in a rut. And then you hear
you you make me, you made me lie, and he's
he's so you just imagine him with like slick back,
(39:52):
you know, undercut hair, and he's just with the wild
eyes and everything and then you hear a woman's voice
say Bob, and we're like, what is going on? You know,
there's no way this could be any sort of I'll say,
semi truck or people. We talks in a Transatlantic accent,
(40:15):
and it just doesn't it just doesn't happen. Yeah, So
it turns out the dad's name was Bob and it
was Wallace. I had not I had to dig a
little deeper, Wallace cloy Skins. But he also went by Bob.
And because we believe that in a drunken stupor, they
(40:37):
suspected that that he had done this to her, that
he had hit her over the rock. So we think
she went into the water at one point, like running
running into the water to try and get away, and
then she ran down the edge of the pond and
then came back out and that's when it happened. And
(40:59):
we went I can look at our time and when
all this happened, and it was the suspected exact time
of when they believe she was murdered.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Wow, that's that's super spooky.
Speaker 6 (41:14):
Yeah, And we and and this you can you can
hear that. We obviously kept the recording because we had
our audio recorders going. We had our video recorders going. Yeah,
but it's nice. You can't see a whole lot, and
we have that on our episode so that people can
listen to it.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
Yes, which, by the way, would you like to mention
where people can listen to that episode?
Speaker 6 (41:36):
Of course, so Creepy Confidential at Creepy Confidential YouTube, it's
the Sylvia Games episode. At the very end, we play
those audio samples and you can imagine them happening at
the time.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
Of the murder.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Yes, definitely definitely check that out. It will make that
story even spookier.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (41:56):
You can kind of listen to the whole story, read
the whole story. But I didn't. I was just made
all of our hair stand up. We couldn't. As soon
as we heard the voices and we were able to
determine that this was not this was not anything around us.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
I don't know why. For some reason, it always makes
it like when you hear like a ghost voice and
it's just a normal voice, you're like, okay, But when
you hear one that has like a different exit from
a different time, it makes it creepier. And I don't
know why.
Speaker 6 (42:25):
Yeah, because there's no because people don't don't talk, you know,
just we just don't talk that way. We don't have
that yes, say, you know this is like we had
we have.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
A correct all ghosts used to be mobster.
Speaker 6 (42:42):
Yeah, I mean that's it's crazy because it makes sense.
They were traveling more, they were there were they were
starting to kind of get I'll say immigrants that were
moving up in the in the world. They weren't just
all suffering and really struggling. They started to have higher
paying jobs and it was but they weren't necessarily first
(43:02):
generation here, so they still had just a swig of something.
But that was that was our crazy story.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
It may be pretty wild, and I mean it is
a great brief story, quick question for you.
Speaker 6 (43:22):
I definitely found out, you know, there was more. I
had lived in that area for a long time and
it was really interesting to find out all of the
little things that leading up to this. It kind of
makes you go, like, why was she with him? Why
were they having it there? What about the wife?
Speaker 2 (43:37):
Yeah, it's drama, drama, yeah, and then you you know,
hear a ghost.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
Yeah. Right.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
We've been asking everyone tonight what their favorite Halloween candy
is and what your Halloween costume is By the way.
Speaker 6 (43:55):
Oh well, we love that. So my favorite candy is
you know, butter the ref peanut butter cup. It's over
my favorite perfectly. You don't you can. You can bite
a little or take the whole thing. It's like a
choose your own adventure. And my costume this year is
going to be a vampire queen. Yes, and of course
(44:18):
that's my favorite favorite time year. I will be tricker.
I'll be out with the trick or treaters, panding out candy,
hoping to scare them.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
Yes, that's what we were talking about earlier, is uh,
we missed the days of good old trick or treating,
Like trunk or treat has its time and place, but
you don't get to meet your neighbors that way.
Speaker 6 (44:36):
Oh yeah yeah. And now I've been doing it for
a couple of years and now I think they look
forward to it because I did. I acted in haunted
houses and built hant in houses, you know, attractions back
in the day. So I take it very seriously.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
As you should. As you should. A few of our
neighbors already like decorated, and they've done it pretty big,
and I'm like, okay, I know now that I have
to step it up next year. I just had to
make sure because like I just moved. I was like,
I just got to make sure that you know, they're
not gonna get married about this. Yeah, no exactly. But
there's like there's two other houses in our neighborhood that
(45:11):
are like they really did it up. One has the
twelve foot skeleton and it glows, and I'm like, all right.
Speaker 6 (45:18):
Some of those but they never glow.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
They must have done it themselves. They must have done
it themselves. Their whole back patio is also decorated in Halloween.
I'm just like, I want to be friends with this person.
Speaker 4 (45:30):
So that's how you make.
Speaker 6 (45:30):
Friends if you're like I need to know, I need
to know the inner working How did they do this?
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Yeah? And can we coordinate next year? Yes, exactly. If
we can get the whole neighborhood in on a theme,
like everybody pick a different scary movie and you're doing
that scary Like that'd be awesome.
Speaker 5 (45:47):
That'd be incredible, and just have house to house to
house to house. Yes, Oh, there'd be such a journey
for the kids.
Speaker 2 (45:53):
Yes, I would love that. It'd be so fun, so fun.
Speaker 6 (45:58):
Yeah, And I've done I've done I'll say safe costumes
where they're not they're not gory, and I still build
them from head to toe. I build characters and that's
who I go with. Yeah, but this year we're turning
up the volume. I've been watching my vampire traditional vampire movies,
and I was like, no, no, they're we're gonna scare
them this year.
Speaker 3 (46:19):
For a blood. Yes.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
These are always my favorite house as a kid.
Speaker 6 (46:26):
Oh yeah, I'm like, should I put a little like
a little like a little beauty band? Should I put
it in front of my face so I don't scare
the little And I'm like, nah, you can always have it.
Scare them last year. I tried to scare them last
year and I did the It was basically a ghost bride,
(46:46):
but I made the whole thing and my eye was
had a contact in one eye. I died the whole thing,
like I was head to tell. Handing out candy to
these little, tiny kids. All they cared about was the
fact that something was wrong with my eye. Not scared
at all.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
They were like, okay, and you look cool, but like
is your eye okay?
Speaker 6 (47:06):
Yeah? Like off on the mouths of babe. That was
so cute.
Speaker 2 (47:16):
You're supposed to be scared children say the nicest and
the weirdest.
Speaker 3 (47:22):
The person says, pink saw me, and they were I
mean they were little.
Speaker 6 (47:29):
They were probably like, i'll say, between three and four
feet all like they were. They were tiny. And they're
in their little you know, Bell Disney costume with their
little veil and everything. That's all they They don't and
they just stare at the one eye, not both my eyes.
Speaker 2 (47:45):
Yeah, again, that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (47:52):
That's so cute.
Speaker 6 (47:55):
Yeah, they're they're at the middle age. As soon as
they go above like ten, terrified of everything. I had
some time to get that that life trauma in them,
A little one like, oh I care about is my
fruit roll up?
Speaker 2 (48:09):
It's not real. Yeah, that's how I feel about a
lot of life. I'm like, listen, I got some fruit
roll ups.
Speaker 6 (48:17):
Yeah, that's all I care about. I'm not afraid that
anything else.
Speaker 2 (48:20):
All I need is life, no fear, only fruit. Now
I want to get fruit roll ups.
Speaker 4 (48:28):
It does sound good.
Speaker 2 (48:29):
It does sound good.
Speaker 6 (48:30):
I know they're delicious. Oh my gosh. That's another friend
of mine. Today. I was talking about Halloween candy. She's like,
I don't have to go buy three bigs.
Speaker 3 (48:37):
Just for me.
Speaker 2 (48:38):
Yes, I've always got you always have to buy a
bag for yourself.
Speaker 6 (48:45):
They are they Halloween or are they just regular?
Speaker 2 (48:48):
I think they're regular, But I think Scooby Doo counts
as Halloween.
Speaker 6 (48:53):
I mean it's their time of year, go for it.
Speaker 2 (48:55):
Yeah, and also they're pretty tasty, so it.
Speaker 6 (49:01):
Oh yeah, we're taking my phone call about it, calling in.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
We'll talk too soon. Thank you so much. Happy Halloween,
Happy Halloween.
Speaker 6 (49:14):
Problem, have a great night.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
Yeah you too, Happy.
Speaker 6 (49:18):
Happy Halloween.
Speaker 2 (49:20):
Good bye, bye, there we go, awesome.
Speaker 3 (49:27):
Yeah have you been Have you been picking up any
of the cars driving past me?
Speaker 2 (49:31):
No? No, I haven't.
Speaker 3 (49:34):
Okay, good.
Speaker 5 (49:35):
Are these the coyotes you were talking about earlier driving past?
Now they're they're mobile.
Speaker 2 (49:39):
They've stolen cars and they're driving away.
Speaker 3 (49:45):
Uh. It was actually was really cool. While she was
telling the story. Uh, the animals started howling really intensely.
It is pretty I had a pretty good soundtracks this evening.
Speaker 2 (50:03):
Well, we've got our own soundtrack here that you can't
hear since the audio does not go both ways with that,
and I have the Sandman game still pulled up on
wiki how, which I think is so funny. That's on
there because there's pictures. So yeah, sand manahaw, you play
this one, you just straight lay in the center. One
person's a storyteller, and then if you have more people
that are like part of this game that aren't those two,
(50:24):
you just sit in a circle around this person. So
how we're talking about earlier, how people watching you sleep
is really creepy. Eh, well, I guess they're not asleep.
But yeah, so the funny thing is on this one,
there is not a story written down. The sleeper or
the storyteller just makes up a story about how the
(50:45):
sleeper died, so details are fully up to you.
Speaker 4 (50:48):
It was an improv.
Speaker 2 (50:50):
It's an improv exercise. Yeah, so yeah, in the story,
sleeper dies and then you're slowly sliced open and filled
with sand. So we would always do the and you
cut it open and pack it full of sand and
then you sew it back up, and they would do
that on each thing, and you'd slowly do it on
(51:10):
each thing. While you're the sleeper, you just like, you
just chill. So then obviously the end of that, they're like,
all right, now you got to stand up, and supposely
if you don't stand up fast enough, you get possessed
by the sand man. But yeah, oh, they do have
(51:31):
scary story examples down here. Let's go all right, let's
read the first one. A man chased you in the woods. Boom.
You tripped over a rock and broke your ankle. The
man caught up to you and pulled out a knife.
He ran it across your ankles and then sliced them open.
He filled them with sand. He ran his knife across
(51:51):
your arms and sliced them open, and he filled them
with sand. You tried to escape, but your body was
too heavy. Finally, he slit your throat so you couldn't scream,
and stitched you back up. That one did not have
his main details. We went really detail because you really
want the body to fall asleep. Oh there's three examples here, Okay,
(52:13):
I'll read the other two. You were walking down the
street when someone ran up behind you and knocked you out.
When you woke up, you couldn't identify your surroundings, but
you heard footsteps running towards you. It was a man
with a knife, always a man with a knife. He
came closer, sliced your shoulders and filled them with sand.
He slid his knife across your legs and sliced them open.
(52:34):
He filled them with sand. He finally read the blade
across your neck and sliced your throat, and he filled
it with sand and stitched you up. We went way
too in detail. And then the last one on here
is there was once a woman who lived in a
quiet neighborhood. She had no idea she was being watched
from afar. The sand man followed her every move, waiting
(52:58):
for the opportunity to strike. One day, the woman forgot
to lock her front door, so the sandman snuck into
her apartment with a knife. He sliced her legs open
and filled him with sand. She began to scream, so
he taped her mouth shut. He sliced her arms and
filled him with sand. He finally slid his knife across
her face and sliced her throat, and he filled it
(53:18):
with sand. And I like that it specifies you're supposed
to lightly pat instead of just like twa smack in
your friend. Yeah. No, we would really go through it
all because we would always use a specific wording like yeah,
an he cut up in your arm and he packed
it full of sand. It was always packed full of sand,
was the way we always phrased it, so maybe that's
a regional Ohio thing, southern Ohio. But uh, very fun
(53:44):
And yeah, of course you couldn't get up afterwards. Your
body was basically asleep from laying on the floor for
twenty minutes not moving while you're listening to your friend
talk about how you got murdered. Isn't it Halloween? Fun?
Speaker 3 (53:55):
That's happened?
Speaker 4 (53:58):
Storytailers of assault to you?
Speaker 2 (54:01):
Truly? Yeah, I don't remember that one ever, being like
a set story every time, so I think we did improv.
So I feel like I need to have a sleepover
now and play this game again.
Speaker 4 (54:12):
I really want to you.
Speaker 2 (54:14):
We're gonna strange shock sleepover not tonight, but like so, yeah,
I super want to play.
Speaker 3 (54:23):
That sounds pretty fun.
Speaker 2 (54:24):
Yeah, no, that sounds great. We are hitting the top
of the hour here in just a minute. Is there
anything else about Halloween that you all wanted to talk about?
We got a six minutes ish, I.
Speaker 3 (54:43):
I guess I'll say, Uh, it is not to be
a bummer, but it is. I believe a lot of
black cats get harmed on Halloween night.
Speaker 2 (54:56):
You were in the season leading.
Speaker 3 (54:58):
Up to that, So if if any of you out
there in radio land want to take in a black
cat for the night. Tonight would be the night to
do that.
Speaker 2 (55:11):
It would be the night to do that. It's better
to not leave them out. Halloween is about treating and tricking. Unfortunately,
some children hurt animals and some you know, best of
adults too. People are messed up sometimes.
Speaker 3 (55:30):
And as much as we love monsters here on Strange Talk,
we don't like that kind of model.
Speaker 2 (55:37):
We like the like fun monsters that like, I don't know,
will terrorize a community, not that will like hurt animals
that didn't do anything.
Speaker 3 (55:47):
Yeah, and yeah, did you g Sorry for that weird tangent,
but that popped in my head.
Speaker 2 (55:58):
That's fairy black cat today in the neighborhood.
Speaker 5 (56:02):
Yeah, just Halloween is a spooky, scary, fun time. If
you graduate from trigger treating and you're having parties and
stuff like that, good awesome, you know, keep it alive.
Remember Randy's rules. Never say you'll be back, because you
won't be back.
Speaker 2 (56:21):
You will never be back.
Speaker 5 (56:22):
But more importantly, look if you're if you're partying, if
you're doing something silly, if you're playing with chemicals, just uber, yes, yeah, uber,
brush your teeth.
Speaker 4 (56:34):
Happy Halloween.
Speaker 2 (56:36):
I'm pretty sure we can sign off on that note.
We can uh sign up. I'm gonna say Happy Halloween. First,
Happy Halloween everyone. I hope you got all the candy decided.
Do you have it? Do you have an evil laugh
for us? That's not my evil laugh. That one just
(57:02):
got me.
Speaker 4 (57:03):
That sounded so real.
Speaker 5 (57:04):
That sounded like an evil ex laugh, Like I think
I've actually heard that laugh before.
Speaker 2 (57:10):
I like, I want to try to do it now,
but it's not. It's not coming to me. That got
me anyway.
Speaker 3 (57:17):
To be fair, that's just kind of that's kind of
close to my normal laugh.
Speaker 2 (57:24):
It's not coming to me right now. Anyway, Happy Halloween.
We're gonna sign up from Strange talk, good night, and
good luck.
Speaker 3 (58:00):
Give me.

me up, and the eyes turning, turn him up, out,

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
