He was a theologist, and ashis wife was on biltering a holiday

(03:17):
in South Wales. Look about flags. It's ugliness. What man has done
with it is ugly. It musthave been beautiful a couple of hundred years
ago. Look as if that mineshut down altogether, that's sunny. Man.

(03:40):
If I have a look at thisplace, if it is ever coal
mine, why that you must deliberateas well? If it did run out,
it would be lots of interesting,wouldn't it well to you? I
suppose come along. You don't haveto be intelligent, but you have to
be interested. Many of the earlycoal mines in Whales were open cast working.

(04:05):
Those who weren't, such as thisone, never went down particularly deep.
There was a hand ladder down theside of the pit shaft and more
than two keen, so she stayedon the surface while I descended a letter.
There were three levels, and Ireached the deep's run quite easily.
That must be yearly away. Nowthe horse voices, and I'm going to

(04:41):
have a lead. I couldn't believemy ears. The voices were hollow and
lasting, and had the strange soundof death about them. I admit I
didn't stop to find out. Iscrambled back up at lad and double quick
time and was waiting impatiently for meon the surface. Let's get out of

(05:10):
there. What's the night? Youlook as if you've seen again. I
didn't see anything, but I heardenough. Come on, let's get back
to the car. I need adrink. That would have given me fell
was my night? Boss? Didn'tthose down? His last continued, Why
did they closed it down? Becausean energy to work there, That's why

(05:34):
after they brought up those bodies.What bodies? Oh, well there was
a kid, you know, therewas only a lad at the time,
but I remember it well. Threemen were trapped. Took him two days
to dig them out. When theydid, two of them are dead,
horribly dead. And the third whyleading more? The legs out of his
mind? Every thing, the stainaging captain. Well, that plus the

(05:55):
fact that was breathing bad it Icould damage the burw Wasn't that at all?
Oh? You as a third man, he's getting over there. What
why don't you have a word withyou? Like Christmas? What they calls
me? I have a find ofyou, I guess no, thanks,
get them on. Oh this ismy wife. Man, you would like
to have a word with the DNmine? Whatn't mind? What about?

(06:17):
What do you want to talk about? Done? My friend is on my
neither, but I don't suppose youcan see them. Your friend is yet
to me, they won't be youthat innes making sure I don't talk too
much to talk about what? Whatdoes matter? Else? So what do

(06:38):
you want to talk about? Then? The minds well in my mind the
vinan says that you are the onlysurvivor of a disaster there occasion. That's
right, only I didn't survive reallynot really, I'm I'm a geologist.
I'm very interested in that. Oldman looks to me as that there's still
printed code down there, or senttons and tons and tons of it tent

(07:00):
hey by, So why is noone worth it anymore? Can't get nobody
to go down? Theyre not afterthe sacrifices I was last to. I
might have been sacrificed you. Idon't understand sacrifized. So who would have
sacrificed you? But the word therud down there in the name, he
would have done that. I lookedat the old man. He was smiling

(07:26):
at me with a look on hisface. That was far from man.
But he didn't expect me to believewhat he said. I can steal the
possibility if he was having a jokeof the stranger's expense. I heard of
the Druids Ofcause, the ancient Celticpeople who had inhabited that part of the
world before the Roman's Land of thefifty five PC. An ancient cause,
their secrets lost in antiquity, butI did remember that they were known to

(07:47):
have had temples where they carried outhuman sacrifices. I still names. For
instance, I prodded you with thepromised priest, and he started on his
stought. Yeah, it was mewhen Williams and re say this, there's
the three of us. For along time before that, we've been bothered
with trains, things happening in thatmind, everyone was on edge, like,

(08:09):
well, what's those things? Therewas the time the pit frame ran
itself? Did we have tree down? We used to have strings of trucks
filled with the coal and pulled byponies in those days never saw the light
of day, some of them ponies. Bonne down there died down one day

(08:31):
so long ago. Now it seemslike another life. He was walking along
number three level, singing a bitwhen we hear the train come in.

(09:00):
I did you see that? Didyou see that? I saw him,
boy, I saw him standing there, and the kidders a day pictured all

(09:22):
over screaming a last when I sawhim. Oh boy, it's best to
say nothing about this, all ofus. Nobody wanna believe us, come
on by lead that it was onlyone of the things. But what did

(09:43):
you say on the sun truck,which was traveling along like a butt out
of darkness, A man's toot,a man a ghost? I don't want
to say. They wore lashing witha long branch like a whit, as
if we were driving some port ofa carrier, only there were no what
says, just those little petronians tappingis just as if the devil himself were

(10:05):
behind them, their eyes white withterror. And it was quite impossible that
little things like that could throw thatnumber of chance and that speed, But
they did, they did. Theygalloped trying to get away from the thing
to which they were hanged, thatwith that mat Tavage standing on it,
and he was laughing, laughing andscreaming and wing at the phonias, and

(10:28):
he wasn't read it at all.I knew that, but he would believe
us. He decided to say nothingabout it. Didn't see because if we
had, well, maybe O andrees would be alive today. No were
the ones who were checked. That'sright. What wasn't just that train?
How the things happened? The cagedropped two levels that there was no one
inside it. And then came thatday owing reason me far as we were

(10:54):
wood pas who sustined that why arethere or find general thing? Hope they
get the chance to seeing whatever he'sdone. But he didn't see that day,
he screamed, John screamed in tever. We were working in number five,
work in a new face hadn't beenworked long at the three year o
oe and you working with the face. And then he shoveling into the truck.

(11:16):
Then I slapped from the room fromthe lead pony, and they would
drop to that road while that's thea bree until they came back together.
They gave me the boy we're notworking on nut like just nice boy,
Oh boy, let's set you're allday on the right and we I see
a matter whether it's play a dayto me. My friends now midnight.
