(02:50):
everybody that tonight at ten pm Eastern Standard time, we

all the questions, all the questions about the church can
be found if you go to the church's website. It's
all there USOCC dot org. It's all there for you now.

(03:34):
But again, four classes you're going to learn for free,
and there's a tremendous amount of work that went into
these classes. And so I believe in giving giving back
and teaching. You know, I have a Master's of education,
so teaching for me is something that teaching is always

(03:54):
excuse me, let me just pose. Teaching has always been
very important to me, very important. And I love theology.
I love the study of demonology, angelology, and for me,
I want to eventually leave a legacy behind, not about
the television shows that I've been on, but rather uh
the education that I passed on. That's important. That is important.

(04:19):
So because I believe, you know, as the old saying goes,
people don't care how much you know until they know
how much you care. And I believe that, And so
giving back and teaching people and encouraging people and lifting
people's spirits, that's important. Thank you, Thank you, Carrie. Okay,
so let me just address one thing and then we're

(04:39):
not going to We're not going to discuss it anymore.
And by the way, moderators, if TikTok is but if
TikTok gets bad with Charlie, just let me know. Okay,
what is your take on higher end jewelry? Oh? Yeah,
Blue Eyed, sure, I'm Catholic and curious. What's your take
on No, No, that's a good question, Blue, I'd breased them.
So what a my take on high end jewelry? I

(05:01):
have no problem obviously, if someone wants to spend high
end jewelry with their money they earn, that is their
right but now if you're referring to the jewelry that
I wear, you can actually get this ring for fifty
two dollars on Etsy. And this ring actually was a gift,
so that's you can actually buy on Etsy for fifty
two dollars. And the gold chain, by the way, it's

(05:22):
it's not gold, it's brass. And you can get this
at Walmart for four dollars, which I did. So anyway,
I just want to pass that on. So I've taken
a valve poverty, and I've also taken a valve celibacy.
So with the United States Old Catholic Church, we're allowed
to be in relationships or we can remain celibate. I've
chosen to remain solivate. So anyway, there we go. When

(05:46):
God cleanses you of evil, who why do devils terry you?
Let's see, when God cleanses you of evil, why do
devil's interview? That's a good question. Ov Oh, well think
you Jane. So Jane is asking when God clings you
of evil, why do devils enter you? It really goes
back to invitation. I have always, always found, always found

(06:13):
that well, there are very few exceptions, but in the
thirty three cases that I've worked on people who were possessed,
I would say ninety five percent of them was because
there was some form of invitation. And what I mean
by that is either playing with Wijia boards or doing seances,
doing things that they shouldn't do, and so that's been

(06:34):
a problem. So again, just let me know, guys. If
TikTok is a problem, I would like for everyone to
be able to chat with us. But if if the
trolling is bad, okay, all right, well then all right,
trolls are here of course, goodbye tros. All right, this
is I mean, TikTok is getting terrible with the trolling.

(06:54):
It's getting so sorry, guys, we have to put subchat
on because the trolling is just that bad. So if
you want to chat on TikTok, you're going to have
to subscribe. That's and if you send me a message,
a nasty message saying, oh you're a fake bishop because
you're putting on subscribers, I'm just going to block you.
I'm not even going to read your message. I'll block
you because you're going to you're being vicious against the

(07:15):
very people that the trolls are harassing us. And the
only way that we can stop it is put subchat
only on. So if you're angry, then address that with
TikTok okay. So anyway, happy Friday too, you guys. So
let me just I'm going to say this very quickly
and then we're moving on. I am fully aware of

(07:38):
what happened in the political world today. I'm fully aware
of that.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
I had.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Matter of fact, I had a conversation with Judy Ane
about that earlier today when I went out walking. So
here's what I'm going Here's what I'm going to say
about that. Nothing. Nothing. I am not going to bring
in politics into this conversation. I'm not going to bring
politics into this platform. Unless I see something that is

(08:03):
so egregious, then go to I will speak out because
I have to as a clergy member. It is my
moral and ethical obligation to speak out. But I think
that there's too much divisiveness in this world when it
comes to politics, and I think I will say this.

(08:24):
I do believe it was a mistake having that argument
in front of the cameras. That should have never happened,
That should have been kept quiet, because the negotiation can
be nasty. I mean, it can be a kind of aggressive.
So that's the only thing. I did not like that
at all, not the only thing, but nonetheless, So anyway,

(08:45):
people come here because they want to get away from politics.
Turn off the camp, turn off the top. The political
world can get so overwhelming that the anxiety just builds
up and people are having nervous breakdowns. So I think
this is my opinion. I think it's going to work out.

(09:06):
That's what I think. I'm an optimistic guy. I choose
to live my life with optimism. And so there we go,
all right, and people can disagree if you want, and
that's fine too, But nonetheless, that's what I believe. Okay,
tonight we are going to have a cool, very cool conversation,

(09:28):
and this is one of those conversations that I'm looking
forward to it. I am looking I love urban legends.
And when you talk about urban legends, you know what,
some of them are pretty frightening. Some of them are
pretty frighting. Used to yep I study with the Benedictines
and with the Jesuits. Yep I am a Benedictine. I

(09:48):
have taken a vow of poverty and of course chastity,
the celibacy. So there we are Yeah, we're gonna, we're
gonna have a conversation. Let's turn this on here and
let's get into this. I can't ever find I don't
know why this thing here won't. I'm getting old. That's
the problem. There we go, all right, urban legends, everybody,

(10:13):
let's talk about it. So let me just ask you
a question. Just just say yes or no, Yes or no?
Do you actually believe there is any truth in urban legends?
I'm really curious. Just say yes or no. But Judi

(10:35):
Anne says yes twice. Okay, so several So Julienne even
put it on Facebook.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Really, there's a lot of you that says yes. Wow,
I'm honestly, I'm legit.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
I'm legit. I had no idea. Yeah, hey, Jack's paranormal soon.
Can we do a quick little survey? Do you think
there is truth in urban legends? Yes or no? Because
there are a lot of people have said yes, I honestly, legitimately.
I am surprised at that. Okay, I didn't I didn't

(11:18):
know people. I didn't know there were so many people
who believe this. That's news. That's certainly news to me.
I did not know this. Okay, Well, let's talk about. Yeah,
let's do it. Let's do a poll on TikTok and
see what the answer is, because I'd be curious to
see what the post is say. Yeah, even if you

(11:39):
don't believe in aliens. Okay, So let's go into this
and then we'll find out what the posts say. Okay,
let's talk about urban legends. So sit back, relax, grab
a cocktail, grab some water, whatever it is, popcorn, and
let's talk about these urban legends. And by the way,
I'm going to give you urban legends, alleged urban legends

(12:02):
from around the world. All right, the poll is up,
by the way, on TikTok, the poll is up. Make
sure you go to the poll right there and make
sure you put yay or nay, yay or nay, and
let's find out. Okay, it's all good, it's all good,
Steven Welcome. Urban legends are a form of modern folklore,

(12:24):
comprising stories circulated as true, often with macabre or even
sometimes humorous elements. These stories can vary in their form
of in content, but they usually convey a warning or
provide an explanation for mysterious happenings. The historical context of
urban legends, it can actually be contraced through several pivotal

(12:46):
developments in human communication, society, culture. So again, we're going
to get into the good scary stories in a moment,
but let's get a background first. All right, Wow, sixty votes,
eighty seven percent says yes, thirteen percent said no. All right,

(13:10):
let's talk about the early developments of urban legends. First
of all, folklore roots. So urban legends share characteristics under
older folklore, which has existed in virtually every culture around
the world. Traditional folklore often include like myths, fairy tales,
legends passed down through generations, and this tradition served as

(13:33):
a vehicle for teaching cultural norms, imparting moral lessons. Now,
the term urban legend, it reflects the shift from rule
to urban living as populations move into cities, the nature
of storytelling evolved. Well, I'll answer that afterwards, Rosella. Now,

(13:54):
the vastness of urban legends provided fertile ground for new
forms of the legend, often reflecting the certainties and fears
that's associated with urban life. So in the nineteenth century
and early twentieth century, the Industrial Revolution brought about massive
change and how people lived and communicated. And with these changes,

(14:15):
came new types of stories. The increased communication capabilities and
literacy rates due to the printing press and public education
helped spread stories more widely and rapidly than ever before,
and as people moved from cities and mingled with other
people from different backgrounds, stories began to cross cultural boundaries,

(14:37):
and this blending contributed to the richness and variety of
urban legends, with certain themes thank you becoming universal. Now
in the mid twentieth century, there was a mass media influence,
so the rise of mass media, particularly radio and later television,
provided new avenues for the spread of urban legends. Programs

(14:59):
often sinceationized stories to capture public interest, aiding in their dissemination,
and there was also a social political climate. What I
mean by that is the post World War two era
saw significant social change and uncertainty, including fears about nuclear war,
alien invasion, the Cold War, and these existential anxieties were

(15:24):
often reflected in urban legends thinking, which began to incorporate
themes of technology and supernatural threats. And in the late
twentieth century to the present now we're in the internet
and digital age, and the advent of the Internet has
had a powerful impact on the creation and distribution of
urban legends, so stories can now spread globally almost instantaneously,

(15:49):
gaining massive followings. So the line between truth and fiction
has even blurred further, with platforms like email and later
social media allowing legends to morph and come to life.
And by the way, if you're on TikTok, please make
sure you share, share, share, and like the video if
you would, please, I appreciate that. Now modern urban legends

(16:14):
often reflect contemporary societal issues, thank you, such as concerns
over privacy and online scams, technological dependence, and they can
be adapted to address new fears. So I do Stephen
so uh. And by the way, if if you guys

(16:36):
hear me here, if you say thank you, because my
friends on TikTok are often gifts, so I try to
thank them every time I see them. Now there's a
there's been cultural impact and significance with urban legends. See
urban legends often carry implicit or explicit moral lessons, serving
as a cautionary tale about contemporary issues societal norms, and

(17:00):
these stories help form a shared cultural consciousness if you will,
as they're recounted and interpreted within communities, and they can
reflect the values and fears of society at even any
given time. Now and again, we're going to get into
the scary urban legends in a moment. But as you know,
I'm kind of a nerd, so I like to set
up the topic first so you can get a background. Now,

(17:25):
there is psychological comfort in urban legends. What do I
mean by that? By providing explanations for strange or inexplicable phenomenon,
urban legends can offer psychological comfort even if the stories
themselves are frightening. So urban legends are a dynamic and
evolving form of folklore that have adapted with technological advances.

(17:49):
So let's talk about the key characteristics of urban legends.
Urban legends are a type of folklore comprising stories as
true and many times with urban legends, they're anonymous. So
urban legends are typically anonymously sourced and lack specific details
such as precise names, places and dates, and the plausibility

(18:14):
to While urban legends may contain supernatural or exaggerated elements,
they often start with a kernel of truth or scenario.
It seems plausible enough to be credible, and that helps
the audience suspend disbelief, and unlike traditional folklore, set in

(18:35):
a mythical past. Urban legends usually take place in modern settings,
involving contemporary concerns cultural anxieties, and many urban legends serve
as a cautionary tale, conveying a moral message or a
warning about specific behavior in situations. By the way, they
often reflect societal fears or taboos, such as the dangers

(18:58):
of hitchhiking, the perils of modern technology, stranger danger, and
urban legends are passed down through tradition and the media,
and these stories often evoke strong emotions, whether it's fear, shock, humor, disbelief.
And many times urban legends are spread by a use

(19:20):
of a friend of a friend of a friend narrative. Well,
I know a friend of a fern of a friend.
It's a common feature, and then there's a rapid spread.
So urban legends can spread quickly, especially with the advent
of the Internet and social media. And many urban legends
contain a twist, an unexpected outcome, even a shocking revelation

(19:41):
that defies normal expectation. And I've actually experienced an urban legend,
the black eyed children. I've seen them. I don't know
what in the world they were. I would assume I
truly believe they were demonic, but I'll talk about that
in a moment. So urban legends often mirror the cultural society,

(20:06):
political anxieties of the time and place where you know,
where they're popular. So remember there's a narrative structure and
themes with urban legends. There's a fear of the unknown.
There's always a moral lesson there, and I think when
when people tell these stories, it's it's quite frightening, and

(20:29):
there's a look there there. They're entertaining, they create social bonding,
and there's always some an expression of fear anxiety. So
let's get into some of them, because there's quite a few.
All right, Let's go into each state and then we'll

(20:50):
talk about other there's other, gosh, even around the world.
So in Alabama, there is a urban legend of dead
children's playground. So the eerie playground adjacent to Maple Hill,
Huntsville's oldest cemetery, doesn't just have an eerie nickname for fun.

(21:12):
The playground was presumably designed to entertain kids while their
parents visited the graves of loved ones. Legend has it, though,
that the spirits of children who have been buried in
the cemetery since the first grave was actually Doug was
put there in eighteen twenty two. They come out at
night and the living have observed orbs of lights going

(21:34):
down the slide, seen swings moving on their own, even
heard giggling and creepier still, some say the spirits include
victims of a bunch of children that in that area
that were unlived. Happened in the sixties. Now, the playground

(21:55):
itself wasn't open until nineteen eighty five, so you can
imagine how much pent up energy that the tiny spirits
had one hundred and sixty three years without a slide,
And in two thousand and seven the city tried to
raise the park to make more room for graves and
remove the slides and swings overnight. Well after public outcry,
it was replaced with more modern equipment, making it slightly

(22:17):
less creepy to look at and also probably resulting in
many people say happier ghosts. However, many people who go
to this particular cemetery the Dead Children's Playground in Alabama,
say that if children come up to you and they
ask for you to push them down the slide, many

(22:40):
times people say that they will see black eyed children.
I personally believe that children are not lost, meaning that
when they pass over, I think they are immediately into heaven.
I don't think God would allow that to occur. So
I was working a case that it was a demonic case,

(23:03):
and it was pretty late. It was around midnight, and
we were there in this house. And this house had
like a screened in porch in the very front, so
you go to the screen in porch and then you
go to the front door. So we were there in
this house performing the minor right of exorcism. We're getting
ready to do this, and I would say it was
probably around midnight or so. It was very dark. They

(23:25):
had the street lights, but the street light there weren't
some streetlights were not working. And while we were right
there at the door going into the front room to
the living room, two kids, the small kids I would
say probably maybe twelve to thirteen years old, That's what
I would guess is a little boy and a little
girl came and the clothing was kind of odd. But

(23:47):
they knocked on the screen door and we turned around.
We were kind of confused that kids would be out
that late at night. That was kind of and it
was dark anyway where it was because the light was
behind them, so we really didn't get to see their
face because the porch they didn't have a porch light,
so they would knock on the door and they there
was nothing. When I walked to it the side, one

(24:10):
of the investigators was right behind me and he and
I remember him grabbing my right well he was on
this side, my right arm. He grabbed and squeezed, and
I knew exactly what he was thinking because when I
looked at him, I mean, he was like pale as ghost.
And I looked at the kids and I got closer
because you know, they couldn't see. There were no eyes.

(24:33):
There were absolutely no eyes. And originally I thought maybe
the light was playing tricks on me. And I asked,
I said, well, you know where are you? Are you lost?
Do you need me to call your parents? Do we
need to call anybody? There was no response, none, And
I said, look, you know it's it's midnight here. You
guys shouldn't be out in the streets here. We need

(24:53):
to call like authorities, or we need to call your parents.
What are the names? Nothing? They just turn around and
they walked down the street. So one of the investigators said,
we need to go find out we need to find
out who they are. So we were kind of like
having a conversation about this, like, yeah, you know, we
need to go keep you know, because the kids shouldn't
be out there that late at night, and it was
just eerie and we didn't see the eyes. None of

(25:16):
us did, and so one of the investigators went out
and turn left to try to go towards them, and
there was nowhere for them to just vanish. But they
were not around. So it's not like we were having
a law law conversation where the kid ran, because they didn't.
They just walked and then turn and then we just said, okay,
we need to call the authorities or something. So one
of the investigators went out and turn left. They were

(25:38):
not there. They were not there. So if you go
to the cemetery and you see these kids, black eyed children,
you might want to just be aware. There were no whites.
There was nothing. It was. It was just black everywhere.
I mean, the whole thing was just black. And even
if they, you know, put makeup on, is scarce. It

(26:00):
wasn't Halloween anyway, But even if they did, when they
opened their eyes, you could have seen there was nothing. Nothing. Now,
the Alaskan Triangle in Alaska a legendly an urban legend,
encompassing an area ranging from Juno in the southeast to
where the Northern Barow region, Alaska's answer to the Bermuda Triangles,

(26:22):
comprised of some of the most barren wilderness in the
United States. It's apparently craves souls. More than twenty thousand
people have gone missing without a trace in the area
during the half past century alone. Are they being consumed
by mythological beams, loss on extreme hikes, simply vanishing into
a dark vortex. Nobody knows, though it's not for a

(26:46):
lack of trying. See when a government lost House majority
leader Hail Bogs Cessna to the triangle in nineteen seventy two,
a massive search turned up tons of conspiracy theories, but nothing,
absolutely nothing. They couldn't find anything. That by itself is
kind of concerning. Now, I know that there to be fair,

(27:07):
to be fair, logically, let's let's use logic. It's a
big area. It is a very very big area. And yes,
we can easily argue because it is so huge, you know,
it's probably can be explained logically. But nonetheless, nonetheless, people
swear by this. Okay, let's go in now to the

(27:30):
dog Boy. The dog Boy is located allegedly in Arkansas,
so the name kind of sounds goofy, or actually even
kind of like goofy if you will. But if you
find yourself at sixty five Mulberry Street in the middle

(27:51):
of a minuscule Arkansas town of Quitman, you won't laugh.
If you see the hulking outline of a three hundred
pounds half man, half beast, complete with glowing animal eyes
and glaring out the windows. Walk quickly, as he has
been known to chase people down the street, biting at
their heels, kind of like a dog. And this has

(28:13):
actually been urban legend. This is actually a rare urban
legend and where the story behind ends up even creepier
than the folklore. So Gerald bettis the only son of
Betis's family of sixty five Mulberry was always a problem child,
but not an acute junior heally way Betts would collect

(28:34):
and do terrible things to animals, hence the dog boy name,
and before turning his sociopathic focus on his elderly parents,
allegedly imprisoning them in their own home and potentially even
unliving his father. Eventually, Betis would be imprisoned for growing
illegal substance on his back porch and would pass away

(28:55):
in a state penitentiary in nineteen eighty eight. So this
is actually where this actually came from. In California, turn
Bull Canyon never been so if you know this, let
me know if these are legit Located in Los Angeles,

(29:16):
between Whittier and the City of Industry, Turnbull is a
forty nine thousand acre smorgas board of nightmare fuel set
amid the Sini Kills. You want your scares rooted in
American history, Well, the Natives call it a hunt Naga,
or the place of the Devil, where the ghosts of
those slain for not converting to Christianity. Christianity dwell alongside

(29:39):
witches and Satanists who reportedly use the place to unlive children,
whose spirits now walk the canyon and dangle. So have
you et you've heard of this desire? They're joined by
ghosts of twenty one kids who perish in a plane
crash in fifty two and allegedly and there's no existing
record of it. And then there's the remains of the

(29:59):
old Old Insane asylum that came back to life to
unlive eighteen in the sixties via a long dormant electrical wire.
There are cults, alien encounters, gravity hills. Oh Desiree says, yes, Wow,
it goes on and on. Basically, if it's something that
gets under your skin, there is a story about it.

(30:21):
And the seemingly cursed canyon. You know we're going to.
I'm gonna have to go to the Curs Canyon the place.
Evil vibes date back centuries, though it wasn't until the
site was established as a fur trapping site in eighteen
forty five that things started getting really intense, with the
word of the site's terraced traveling far and wide and

(30:42):
making it a place visited as much for its beauty
as morbid curiosity. Hmm, that's censrue. I'm gonna have to
look this up again. For those of your looking, Turnbull
Canyon in Colorado Riverdale Road for eleven horrifying miles. Riverdale

(31:04):
Road near Thornton, Colorado, is crammed with enough horrifying legends
to bring even the bravest paranormal investigators to their knees
from a ghostly runner attacking part cars on Joggers Hill
to various demons and even a phantom camaro revving up
and down the winding road. But the gates of Hell

(31:27):
seems the epicenter. The physical iron gates are now gone,
but what remains is the partial shell of an old
mansion where a madman supposedly unlived his wife and children,
and left behind are the barren, charred plot of land
and a white clad woman who wonders the area. She's

(31:49):
joined by the ghosts of people supposedly who did the
terrible tortured and go ahead and run away, says when
you see something creepy like an ethereal pack of dogs,
and you're probably just going to bump into something worse,
possibly Hell. It's a portal to which some believe is
there that maybe explains why so many demons were conjured

(32:10):
in a weird underground chicken coop near a set of
underground tunnels. Now it is unknown when things got really
hairy there. Even given the spirits of slaves, it's safe
to assume terrible things have been happening on Riverdale Road
since eighteen fifties. Again, if any of these, let me know.

(32:32):
Connecticut Dudley Town, so often cited as a dark vortex.
Rumor has it that any visitor that steals an artifact
from Dudley Town will have a curse put upon them
and their family. Dudleytown Forest visitors reports seeing just about
every kind of paranormal phenomenon you can think of. People

(32:53):
describe an unnerving lack of wildlife in the area, as
well as floating orbs of light and a sinner wolf
like black shadows, murmurs and disebodied voices as voices that
you can actually hear, as well as feeling of general
dread and on the fact that there's a mysterious group
called the Dark Forest Association that policies the grounds with

(33:18):
militant force. And you've got yourself a serious case of
what is really going on here? I've never been this
area now. The curse of the ill fated Dudley's began
back in England, where Edmund Dudley was beheaded for conspiring
against King Henry the seventh, and this treacherous act apparently

(33:39):
unleashed the curse on the rest of Dudley Clan, which
immigrated from England to Cornwall in Connecticut in seventeen forty eight.
They helped establish a community centered around the towns then
thriving iron industry, before a series of untimely disasters befell
the family. These calamities included a series of mysterious deaths,
which in turn inspired madness and unaliving among the Dudleys,

(34:04):
several of whom disappeared into the woods, never to be
seen again. The remaining residents very sensibly ditched the town,
which has been abandoned ever since. Wow. Oh, absolutely, I'd
go to an old funeral home. Yeah. In Delaware here
is an urban legend called mister Chew. So Samuel Chu

(34:29):
was a respected man, a chief justice in the state
back in the colonial days. Still, even in Colonial America,
bullies latched onto his name, constantly proclaiming a Chu as
if sneezing. He apparently hated it so much that his
spirit still stalks those who mock him, showing up in

(34:50):
his robes and powdered wig to scare the ever loving
world out of people who can't resist the easy joke
at the expense of centuries dead legislator. That's not too creepy, Okay,
Florida the skunk ape now there. I have spoken to
people and they swear that this exists. The Everglades are

(35:11):
filled with an array of terrifying creatures, man eating alligators
and eating snakes, man eating roadkill. However, one human like
figure has been spotted enough enough times to warrant elevated
levels of concern. The skunk ape so relative of Bigfoot.
A fully grown skunk ape stands between five to seven

(35:32):
feet tall and weighs approximately four hundred and fifty pounds.
Then they can be detected by a horrific odor that's
been described as a sun baked animal carcass, and rotted garbage.
They mostly eat berries and small animals, but from time
to time they have been known to ravage farms and
tear wild boars to shreds. Recently, a skunk ape headquarters

(35:57):
has popped up in the Everglades, where you can book
tours out into the swamp or reserve a spot on
a honting expedition to finally prove that the hairy beast
is true. So no one can say for sure as
far as the history and where this came from, but
because this lineage can be traced back to Bigfoot, many
believe it migrated south from the mountains and found refuge

(36:18):
in the swamp lands and environments safe from humans with
ample sustenance and room to rome. Now I know people
who do believe, and who do live close to the Everglades.
They will not. They will not go in the Everglades
at night. They won't. And they live in this area.

(36:38):
That's how they make their living, and they there's no
way that I've talked to a couple of friends of
mine that live in this area about the skunk Cape,
and so just take me out there, let me go down,
and let me go visit, and let's just go out
in the Everglades. They will not do it at night.
They won't. In Georgia, the Curse of Lake Lanier. So

(37:00):
the massive man made lake of Atlanta is unnerving on
multiple fronts, with a reputation for tragic and sometimes mysterious
deaths from a disproportionately high frequency of boating accidents and drownings.
So on. Explain unlivings. A construction crew discovered the skeleton
of a woman who disappeared in nineteen fifty eight, still

(37:21):
trapped in a car at the bottom of a lake.
More than thirty years later, and since then, people have
reported sightings of a ghostly female figure on the lake's waters.
There are even reports of malevolent catfish lurking at the
bottom that's large enough to swallow a dog or even
a drown even a diver. Now I know people investigators

(37:44):
who've gone to Lake Lanier. I do know an individual
who is, or who was not a believer in the paranormal.
They went to Lake Laneer. He will never go back
to Lake Laneer. Ever, he doesn't like talking about it.
What he saw startled him so much that he refuses.

(38:08):
He refuses to go to this lake ever. Okay, in Hawaii, Ye,
Hawaii has urban legends, the night Marchers urban legend, so
it says, there, picture yourself on a scenic Hawaiian beach
at night. Imagine a full moon and a cool breeze
running across the sand. Dreamy. But if you hear the

(38:29):
faint sounds of drums pounding in the distance, or see
a barrage of torches out on the horizon, it could
be your worst nightmare. So the urban legend says that
these spirits of ancient Hawaiian warriors dedicated to protecting the
island from all outside threat, they will only spare your

(38:50):
life if, reportedly, if you lay face down, you submit
to them. Or you perhaps share a bloodline with one
of the warriors. If not, allegedly, you will never be
seen again. Now. The alleged encounter with the night Marches,

(39:10):
known as in Hawaii, was recorded when Captain Cook arrived
on Hawaiian shores in seventeen seventy eight. In Hawaiian tradition,
the night Marches role in life was to protect sacred
members of the community. In modern times, their spirits have
been reported all throughout the island, mainly at the sites
of a sacrificial temple and other sacred grounds, and apparently

(39:34):
and the decidedly corporate Davy's Pacific Center building in downtown Honolulu.
Apparently they still protect the island from outsiders. I know
nothing about this, so I've never been to Hawaii. In Idaho,
I have spoken to a person who swears this happen
to them, and I wouldn't say I know them well,

(39:55):
but they don't. I don't know them as a liar.
They're pretty straightforward. The Phantom Jogger of Canyon Hill in Idaho.
There are rumors of many hauntings in Caldwell, Idaho's century
old Canyon Hill Cemetery, but the one that gets the
most attention is the midnight jogger. As with many of

(40:19):
the best urban legends, you have to do your park
to get attention, and in this case it involves parking
between certain trees in the cemetery at night. Do it right,
and the legless apparition will knock on your window to
let you know that she's there, then continue on her route.
Many people swear that this has happened, though now it's

(40:42):
only the second worst image conjured when you think of
a sinister jogger. The origins of this is unknown, though
considering there's another conspiracy you know, legend that the entire
state of Idaho doesn't actually exist believe it or not anyway.
And Illinois the Italian Bride. Okay, the Italian Bride, Yeah,

(41:05):
so Lucia can chase in Illinois. An elaborate marble statue
of a woman in a wedding dress is bound to
stand out in a cemetery as it is, but that's
not what's driven the Italian Bride to be subject of
local fascination. Upon closer inspection, there is an actual photo
plaque on the grave site of a woman in a

(41:25):
casket looking perfectly preserved, even though as an inscription notes
the photo was taken six years after burial and the
body was exhumed. Reports of unusual activity cover everything from
the smell of fresh flowers near the grave site in
the dead of the winter, or the ghostly figure of

(41:45):
a woman in white roaming cemetery now where this urban
legend came from. Nineteen twenty one, recently married Julia Petta
passed away in childbirth was buried in her wedding dress.
Legend says that her mother immediately began experiencing nightmares that
Julia was demanding her grave to be reopened. The source

(42:09):
of the distress varies depending on the storyteller, often related
to some sort of discontent with Julia's new husband. But
what isn't in dispute is that six years later, the
mother got her wish and julius pristine condition inspired her
to raise fund for the statue that's been creeping out
generations ever since. In Indiana. Diana of the Dunes. Oh wow,

(42:40):
black Father, I'm going to also talk about the Gates
of Hell, the urban legend that we saw so along
the shores of Lake Michigan, fishermen, vacationers, and other passerbys
have reported sightings of Diana, a ghostly female apparition floating
along the shoreline and eventually just appearing into the water

(43:01):
without a trace. So where this came from? As fisherman
first started reporting the sightings of a woman in the
waters off Indiana's a Lake Michigan coastline in nineteen sixteen,
and that's because Alice Gray, the source of the Diana legend,
was still very much alive at that point. The exact

(43:21):
circumstances that caused her to live in a reclusive life
in a lakeside shack aren't entirely clear, but the years
that followed saw her marry a man who later become
a terrible suspect who did something terrible and then passed
away at an early death, allegedly from poisoning. So her

(43:43):
ghostly presence has been a subject of local lure ever since.
Now the other urban legend, but this is actually a
true story. The vascilla acts unaaliving house in that so stupid,
we have to say that, But nonetheless, so what part

(44:03):
of the acts unliving house really? That's why it's creepy.
The unlivings themselves are not much of an urban legend.
They actually happened, and they remained unsolved. Sometimes. Between the
evening of June ninth, nineteen twelve and the morning that followed,
six members of the More family and two house guests

(44:25):
were brutally unalived, with each victim having suffered an axe
wound to the head. One suspect was tried twice, never convicted,
surprising no one that somehow still standing house is a
subject of numerous rumors, urban legends, and reports of paranormal activity.

(44:46):
Has anyone been to this house?

Speaker 3 (44:51):
You know?

Speaker 1 (44:51):
I have spoken to people who've been to this house,
and they absolutely swear that the urban legends are one
hundred percent right true. Okay, so a lot of people
have not. Okay, all right? In Kansas, Oh, crossing guard
paranormal says, yes, okay, So in Kansas, have you heard

(45:13):
of the Stalls Gateway to Hell? The Stalls Gateway to Hell.
The tiny town of stoll Stull has counted very few
residents since it was founded in eighteen fifty six. The
most famous is rumored to be Lucifer himself, who some
say appears in the town cemetery on Halloween and Spring Equinox.

(45:39):
They say he uses the site where a roofless church
once stood as a portal to and from Hell. Now
some say that he's drawn the site of the frequent
witch hangings. Others believe one of the graves actually contained
Satan's own child. Either way, new graves continue to be
dug despite signs warning against trespassers, perhaps referring directly to

(46:03):
the Prince of Darkness himself. Now, I have had friends
go to the cemetery and they did investigation and they
have thank you, Michelle, and they absolutely have really deep
growls EVPs. One actually said leave, the others said get out.

(46:25):
It was pretty intense. In Kentucky, there's quite a few
in Kentucky. But there's an urban legend called the witch
Girl of Pilot's Knob. So just looking at the pictures
of young Mary Evelyn's Ford's grave feels a bit unnerving,
with a series of interlocking white crosses forming a fence

(46:47):
around a pit of gravel, and the bars appearing unnaturally
bent in some places I have seen this. Then you
hear the alleged backstory a mother and a daughter both
accused of which and burn at the stake in nineteen sixteen,
with a mother's charred remains being carried off to a
far off location, while the daughter was buried in a

(47:11):
steel lined coffin, covered in stone and encased in crosses
to prevent her from escape. Some have claimed to witness
tiny footprints appearing in the gravel, or even a young
ghostly figure trying to escape the grave site. Kid's ghosts,
as we know, are the creepiest of ghosts, it says here. Now.

(47:32):
While stories about the gravesite go back decades and naturally
increased in detail with the growth of the Internet, there's
not much evidence that anyone was burnt the stake for
witchcraft in the area of nineteen sixteen. Even back then
that was generally big news. Mary evelyn Ford really did
pass away, a tragic young death. But the state of
cause of death is an inflammation of the stomach's lining.

(47:55):
But they're in the cemetery. It is interesting this cemetery.
The things that I saw were like caved in and
it was kind of strange. It was like keeping something in.
It was very very odd. So I did see that
in Louisiana, the vampire of Saint Germain or from Saint Germain.

(48:19):
As far as spooky stuff goes to Louisiana, does not
rely solely on voodoo or hudoo, ghost or what he
Harrison's accent from True Detective. The site says, like any
vampire with this garlic, Jacques Saint Germain's hobby is seducing
attractive young females in New Orleans, only to properly drink

(48:39):
their blood. By some accounts, he was born in the
seventeen hundreds, and others he's been alive since the beginning
of time. Well, anyway, he's still on this blood drinking
binge in the French Quarter today, though now he just
goes by Jack so comply. De Saint Jermaine was certainly
a real person. He was an alchemist, an all around

(49:01):
high society snob who he befriended, a laundry list of
famous eighteenth century luminaries. He ran with cruise, and you
know King Louis and Catherine the Great Volitary, who has
also seen who said he was also a man who
never dies and who knows everything. There's a lot of

(49:21):
people who swear that if you go to this particular
cemetery you'll see him. Allegedly, maybe one day we'll go
to it. We'll go there and find out. In Maine,
the Wood Island light. So instead of providing useful light
to help ships navigate, the lighthouse on Wood Island reportedly

(49:42):
provides a space for strange moans, unexplained shadows, and other
indicators of paranormal activity commonly attributed to it. Unliving that
took place there decades ago. Howard Hobbes, a local fisherman
and drifter, really did unlive his land work Fred Millikan
on the Wood Island in eighteen ninety six. Hobbs had

(50:05):
been drinking and after on aliving, Millican left the scene
and turned his rifle. The terrible things himself. Anyway, people
allegedly see this light that's not there In Maryland the
goat Man, So, Maryland's infamous goat man allegedly does all
the things you would expect a deranged half goat half

(50:26):
man to do un alive teenagers eat dogs, scream like
a goat, et cetera. But the most terrifying aspect is
just how deep the lure goes. So the USDA was
even forced at one point to publicly deny accidentally creating
the beast in their Beltsville Agricultural Research Center. That's how

(50:48):
bad this urban legend got. Another tale revolves around a
goat farmer who, after realizing a group of rowdy teens
had unlived his tribe, went totally crazy and turned into
to this slaying goat monster. Now where this came from.
The first recorded media mentions of the goat Man occurred

(51:09):
in nineteen seventy one, courtesy of writer Karen Holster. The
first was a deep dive into Maryland folklore, followed by
an actual news item about a family blaming the brutal
unaliving of their puppy on the goat Man, which they
may or may not have heard about in city news.

(51:29):
Now in the Massachusetts the Curse of Giles Cory so
the Salem witch Trial. They were creepy enough to begin with,
but the story of Giles Corey was obviously he was
slowly pressed to death under a series of progressively heavier
rocks in an effort to extract the confession is particularly unsettling.

(51:52):
So legend at has it that he uttered a curse
against Salem right before he had his passing breath. So
for generations his apparition has allegedly appeared in the cemetery
before something terrible is about to happen. Tell me if
you guys are in that area. Tell me if you
guys have heard this, I'm sure you have. So for

(52:14):
generations that's what happened. And there's also been a series
of tragedies that have hit the Salem Sheriff's office, starting
with a sixteen ninety six heart attack that unlive George
Cohen for four years after he presided over the Trios.
In Michigan, there is a bridge called Hell's Bridge. I
have not no Amanda, So this is a the tale

(52:40):
of Elias Frisk. He was a deranged old preacher who,
according to blood curling lore, pied piper a group of
tethered children into the woods near what is now Algama Township.
He unlive them one by one, casting them into a
cedar creek before being caught by their parents and unlived,

(53:02):
but not before saying he was possessed by demons. In
its current form, Hell's Bridge is a creaky, narrow metal
foot bridge in the middle of the woods where those
brave enough to cross at night claimed to hear the
voices and screams of children, and sometimes greeted by a
black figure with glowing eyes as they traverse it. In Minnesota,

(53:27):
the Hairy Man of Virgus Trail. So it's not to
be creeped out about that. One eight foot, musty smelling,
barefoot man with a reputation for being unnaturally aggressive is
a heck of a thing to consider encountering in the woods. Now,
some reported sightings were just that sightings. However, reports like
ken Zitzals made the hairy man more than an apparition

(53:51):
but something to fear. So ZiT Sal returned from driving
in the woods with dense all over his car and
said that the hairy man jumped onto the road and
began pounding on the hood. In Mississippi, the three legged
Lady of Nash Road. So whenever a strange person starts

(54:16):
chasing your car as you drive down a dark, unfamiliar road,
it's unsettling. When she bangs on your hood, it's even worse.
But when she has three legs and one seems to
be a rotting limb, she's so to her body. That's
just the worst. But that's what generations of Mississippians have
said about the stretch of Nash Road near Columbus or

(54:38):
the Lady does her thing. Tell me if you guys
have heard of this, if you're in this area, Jack's Paranormal.
You've heard this. If you've heard of this, let me know. So, Okay,
the next one. I have heard of this, and as
a matter of fact, I have spoken to keith A

(55:00):
and the Booth Brothers. I've been in five documentaries with
the Booth Brothers. They were there, they saw this in
Missouri Zombie Road. As a matter of fact, they even
have a picture and you see hundreds of shadow people
in Zombie Road in Missouri. The Dark Canoeby trail, running

(55:24):
through Wildwood, Missouri, just outside of Saint Louis, had been
a hotbed of creepy tails for ages, often revolving around
shadowy human figures following a frightening those along the trail.
Originally built as an access road for the gravel quarries
along the river, the road fella that disrespair disrepair in

(55:45):
the seventies saw an increase in teenagers flocking to the
area to party and to scare each other. The origin
stories of the trail haunting varies widely, from the kind
of plausible railroad accidents, ex etc. More sensational. Several years ago,
the pathway was paved so it might be used as

(56:05):
a byte path, but that hasn't done much to slow
down the legend in Montana, I have heard of this before,
the hitchhiker of black Horse Lake. So usually when you
see a hitchhiker on a particularly desolate stretch of highway,
which Highway eighty seven can certainly be, it gives you
the willies. On this particular stretch of great Falls. It's

(56:29):
compounded by the fact that the namesake lake is seasonal
and dry most seasons. Regardless, then, result of the body
of a Native American man clad in jeans with jet
black hair slamming into your windshield as you're driving its
sheer terror. Legend has it that those who encounter the
hitcher suddenly find his body bouncing off the front of

(56:51):
the car, and when they do stop to help, there's
nothing there, no damage to the windshield. The hitchhiker meanwhile
repeat to cycle endlessly, trapped in his own personal hell
as he repeats his moment of death with whichever driver
happens to be cruising down the road for the wrong time.

(57:12):
Kind of creepy, isn't it? Nebraska? Nebraska seven Sisters Road,
there's no shortage of creepy road where creepy things happen stories,
but Nebraska's Seven Sisters Road is particularly unsettling, with the
legend telling of a young man who, following a dispute
with his family, led each of his sisters out to

(57:35):
seven different hills and unlive them. The precise origins of
the legend are unclear depending on who you hear from,
but it goes back long enough and has ingrained well
enough in the local culture that it's taken into account
when making highway construction plans, and people in the locals
do not go on Seven Sisters Road at night. Nevada

(57:59):
Area fifty one look Area fifty one, Laura has been remixed, rifts,
and so much popular culture. Sometimes it's hard to remember
how creepy this whole deal was or is in the
first place. But secret government cover ups, aliens playing god
in the middle of the desolate Nevada desert is creepier
than many things. But it's been said that everything from

(58:21):
time travel, genetic experiments, alien autopsies are commonplace at Area
fifty one. Now, first of all, Area fifty one is real.
It is a highly classified military base. Don't even think
about approaching New Hampshire. The Cursed Isles of Shoals, the

(58:47):
charming little isles of shows off New Hampshire's eastern shore
is a perfect destination for a seaside picnic or you know,
a series of unalivings. Two young women were horrifically unlived
via the particularly creepy maniac with an axe in eighteen seventies,
and apparently you can still hear them screaming, often late

(59:09):
at night, which is just objectively unsettling. This specific island,
Smutty Nose is said to be haunted by these ghosts,
and even the unliver himself pirates and a game of
other poulterdist Now, the island has a history of longer

(59:29):
than the country that they're in, So Blackbeard himself was
rumored to use the island as a honeymoon destination and
a gold depository in the early eighteenth century, and naturally
he unlives some people there along the way. In New
Jersey the Watcher, so the average New Jersey's devil fanboy

(59:52):
is scary than obviously obviously the Jersey Devil the Watcher.
It is an urban legend that creeped its way to
viral fame in twenty and fifteen. So if you don't
know in the details in the summer of twenty fifteen,
a young family moved into a million dollar house in Westfield,
New Jersey. Soon after, they started getting letters signed by

(01:00:15):
someone only ideing themselves as the Watcher, claiming that it
was his duty to watch over the house, while also
spouting crazy lines like do you need to fill the
house with the young blood I requested? Or who has
the bedrooms facing the street? This actually occurred in New Mexico. Chupacabra.

(01:00:41):
So basically, it's a rabbit beast that may or may
not be the size of a bear, but definitely has
spikes on its back, glowing eyes. Allegedly some say it
can fly, but it will definitely suck the blood out
of your pets and your family, and a ton of
people think that it is real in New York. The
Montalk Project, it's a series of alleged government experiments conducted

(01:01:06):
in montuk, a Long Island, in the early eighties, reportedly
served as one of the Duffer brothers main inspirations. The
Stranger Things. That's where it comes from. So we're talking
about psychological warfare, spending on experimenting on children, opening portals
to other dimensions, and various other nefarious government funded creepiness.
Many people swear that creatures lurk in this area, monsters

(01:01:30):
lurk in this area, and you never go ever in
the woods in this area. Perhaps I don't know. In
North Carolina the Beast of Bladen Borough because it's largely
possibly vampire cat. It's a vampire cat beast that might
also be part bare well brutally unlive your pets livestock.

(01:01:52):
In nineteen fifty four, a stream of mysterious, gruesome deaths
began to hit animals in and our bladen Borough, North Carolina.
Terrible things. Eye witness accounts of varied, but seemed to
point to something vaguely feeline in nature, also larger and
more powerful. The story made national news. There might be

(01:02:16):
multiple hunting parties that attempted to catch the beasts, and
they never did. Eventually, the una liivings stopped. In North Dakota,
there's a place called the Gates of Hell. So abandoned
towns are generally creepy, and North Dakota has an abundance
of settlements that were all abandoned after the railroad boom. Tegas, though,

(01:02:39):
takes the cake due to the little fact that people
believe that it once housed a Lutheran church that doubled
as a hotbed for Satan worship. Now urban legend says
it burnt down, but if you stand just in the
right place, you can still hear the screams of the
dam bubbling up from Hell itself, and there also reports

(01:03:00):
of hell hounds, glowing gravestones, and a ghost train. Vandals
and revelers have made the few people who call Tegus
home very wary of visitors. And Lord knows that the
combination of a rumored portal to Hell and extremely unwelcoming
lotals locals in a small town, it's a horror movie fodder,
no doubt. In Ohio, melon heads sounds like something you

(01:03:26):
know your grandma might have in a candy dish, but
it's actually a true urban legend about pale, sickly genetically
altered children with giant heads and razor sharp teeth that
simply love unliving. So riffs on this tails exist in
Michigan and Connecticut, but the Ohio case of particularly compelling.

(01:03:51):
These melon heads haunt the woods of Kirkland, and apparently
they adopted children of an unscrupulous doctor who used the
if you would the pre melon Heads to test new
medical and surgical methods. Well anyway, In some versions of
the tale, the kids are merely likely to scurry away
like chipmunk than bite your face off. In others, they're

(01:04:12):
just ghost of the kids. So it's called yeah check
that it's a melon heads in Ohio. In Oklahoma, the
scurve In Hotel, And because the place is basically Oklahoma's
equivalent to the Hotel from the Shining, a luxury hotel
whose permanent residents include eternally crying babies, a ghost that

(01:04:38):
likes to grab people spirits at slam doors, and the
ghost of the original owner's mistress is allegedly there and
who still walks the halls with the stroller. It's so
prevalent that even the toughest of NBA players who stay
at the Posh Hotel when in Oklahoma City often find
themselves seeking alternative comic combinations. They don't stay there. Yeah,

(01:05:04):
that's called the scurvet s k I r v N
Hotel in Oklahoma. In Oregon, see if I win the lottery,
I would go to every one of these places. I
would and I would stream live in Oregon. The Bandage
Man of Canyon Beach, okay, so far from the rooted

(01:05:27):
in history scares of Portland Shanghih Tunnels. The Bandage Man
haunts a lonely, lonely patch of decommissioned highway near the
idyllic coast town of Cannon Beach. Like many slightly pervy
ghost he likes to mess with randy teenagers, making it
out of the cars and though more sinister, legends have

(01:05:48):
him eating animals and wondering the wind swept the roadside,
and even jumping in the back of pickups and sedans,
filling the car with a scent of rotting flesh by
the way. The bandage Man, most properly a logger hacked
up at the nearby mill, made his earliest documented appearance

(01:06:09):
in the fifties. He was likely a spook story told
around beach bonfires by teens for to scare people. In Pennsylvania,
Charlie No Face urban legend. According to legend, after a
tragic childhood accident, Charlie NoFace aka the Glowing Green Man

(01:06:31):
lost his face and turned radioactive, literally glowing a toxic
green as he stalks western Pennsylvania highways at night. His
main haunt is Piney Fork, tunnel an abandoned freight freight
tunnel in Hillsville. Now, if you seek him out, keep
your foot on the accelerator. Even if he managed to

(01:06:53):
touch your car, it might stall out. According to some people.
Then you'll be hanging out with Charlie No Face for
the rest of your probably short life in Rhode Island.
Mercy Brown. So, Rhode Island's home to many a one hundred,
many haunted houses, including one that inspired the Conjuring, But
one legend you can experience without trespassing is the tale

(01:07:16):
of Mercy Brown. So it seemed that back in the day,
Rhode Island was in the midst of a vampire panic,
and its most famous victim was nineteen year old Mercy Brown.
After her mother and sister passed away, Mercy succumbed to
tuberculosis as well. Due to the panic, villagers presumed something
supernatural was afoot. When they exhumed Mercy, her body was

(01:07:40):
remarkably well preserved, so this is true story. They removed
her heart and liver and burned them to ashes and
fed them to her sick brother. He died two months later,
and they say that the spirit of Mercy, though still
haunts the cemetery of this area, where her grace remains
a place where morbid tourists flock and where a chill

(01:08:04):
hangs perpetually in the air. Now, the historical fact is
this Mercy Brown died January seventeenth, eighteen ninety two, and
her cremated heart was in fact force fed to her brother.
They believe that if he consumed the ashes, that that

(01:08:29):
would keep her spirit, her vampire spirit, from coming to
attack him. That's what they actually believe. So this is
a really creepy, crazy story that's actually true. South Carolina
boo hags so boo hags basically make traditional vampires seem
like Robert Robert Patten's vampire. They're skinless beings that creep

(01:08:54):
into people's homes in the low Country, climb on their chest,
and attack them. They allegedly suck out your breath, and
they've also had a nasty habit of tearing off a
victim's skin and wearing it to keep themselves warm. So
boo hags are a fixture of urban legends, prevalent in

(01:09:16):
coastal low country areas populated by African American descendants of slavery.
The creatures are among the most horrifying and unsettling among
rich folkloric history. South Dakota Walking Sam, a wave of
unalivings one hundred and three attempts as of December twenty

(01:09:38):
fourteen on Pike on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota,
is being attributed to the presence of the Walking Sam figure.
Teenagers claim a slender shadow like spirit dubbed Walking Sam,
appears before them and commands them to unalive. The first

(01:09:59):
wave of heard in twenty thirteen when five members of
the Sioux Tribe unlive themselves, continue to spiral until the
Sioux Tribe president Thomas Poobert discovered photos on Facebook in
twenty fifteen depicting terrible things from trees revealing plants behind

(01:10:21):
a teenager's group unliving. This is a terrible The spectra
archetype that Walking Sam is based on has roots starting
with good old fashioned Boogeyman and walking certainly working all
the way down his slender Man told me to do
it in two thousand and eight. The idea of shadow
people is also pretty old school urban legend, going back

(01:10:41):
further than history and care to track. However, the character
of Walking Sam itself has existed among the Lakota and
Dakota Native American tribes for some time now, with a
record of him being described in a book called in
the Spirit of Crazy Horseback in nineteen eighty. In the
Tennessee the Bell Witch Cave or the Bell Witch now,

(01:11:07):
Willie Winwalker is on and he's absolutely convinced of this
essentially a real life horror movie. The hauntings of one
of Tennessee's family by some sort of spirit believed to
be a witch, ultimately attracted the attention of subsequent visitors,
soon to be President Andrew Jackson, and while Jackson, who
allegedly was spoken to by the Witch, got the heck

(01:11:31):
out of Dodge, a cave near the site believed to
be a portal for where the Witch remains a major
tourist attraction. Okay. In Texas, many have reported Black Eyed Children.
Scary movies constantly have people fearing old country back roads,
abandoned homes, and kids popping out of cornfields, but the

(01:11:54):
Black Eyed children are known to be seen wandering around
totally normal, non threatening locals in walmart parking lot, sonic
drive ins, and worse, their rumor to put their victims
in a tight situation by starting out asking for something
totally unsuspecting, like a ride home or in fact, petty cash.

(01:12:15):
Now here's what's interesting. The first documented case of black
eyed children came in nineteen ninety six from a report
Brian Bethel, who had pulled his car into the parking
lot of Abilene Movie Theater to use the bright Marquee
light to write a check. While filling out the check,

(01:12:35):
two young kids, who Bethel claims were between nine and twelve,
approached the car, knocked on the window, asked for a
ride home to grab cash to come back for a movie.
The children, who totally unnerved Bethel, claimed that they did
not have any type of weapon before making eye contact

(01:12:56):
and revealing coal black eyes that Bethel later described as
the sort of eyes one sees these days on aliens
or bargain basement vampires on late night television. This is
a true story, and you can actually look this up.
Brian Bethel in Utah Escalante Petrified Forest curse. So Utah's

(01:13:23):
legend in particularly troubling for taurists, as they might be
taking the horror home with them even if they escape
the forest. With shocking regularity, visitors who have stolen chunks
of petrified wood from Escalante Petrified Forest State Park will
mail back their lifted souvenirs. All their letters detail series

(01:13:47):
of unfortunate vins, from broken collar bones, arms and ribs,
to mysterious illnesses, horrific accidents, financial ruin. The one thing
they have in common, they all occurred after the victim
allegedly and illegally stole a piece of the forest. This

(01:14:08):
actually is many people swear by those so by the way,
many people have and still do mail back curse pieces
of the petrified wood, and the park even displays the
letters and samples openly as an attraction. Apparently there have
been real cases of stolen wood turning to bad luck

(01:14:30):
since the nineteen thirties, though it's unclear that the actual
root of the curse who knows, But nonetheless, it's so
bad that people mail it back and say we're sorry,
we should not never have done it. That's crazy. In Vermont,
the Hayden family curse, you know, it curses a series

(01:14:51):
when it takes down an entire lineage and still manages
to bother people after everyone else has passed away. Well,
I visited Vermont, said I have heard of this. William
Hayden was a wealthy landlord in Albany, Vermont, in the
early eighteen hundreds, but he never repaid his even wealthier
mother in law for loaning him some major funds over

(01:15:12):
the years. So after much complaining, she became mysteriously ill,
accused William of poisoning her, and with her dying breath,
she said, the Hayden name shall die in the third generation,
and the last to bear the name shall die in poverty. Well,
the Hayden family barely made it another one hundred years

(01:15:33):
after being plagued with financial catastrophes and illnesses. Phantom music,
mysterious lights, and other assorted paranormal activity is said to
haunt their estate in Albany, along with the ghosts of
vengeful mother in law too. This is and I actually
heard about this now in Virginia the bunny man bridge. Okay,

(01:15:59):
and I'll Toronto. I'll turn the chat on TikTok into
a moment for everyone. The legend is fun to repeat
at campfires, but the real sightings beyond the legend are
some to give you some nightmares. So in nineteen seventy
there were numerous police reports of people who had been
threatened by a man holding a weapon wearing a white

(01:16:23):
suit with bunny ears. A few individuals reported that the
man in the suit actually threw the acts at them
for trespassing. To this day, there have been many sightings
of dead rabbits appearing in the woods surrounding at Fairfax
Bridge and known now known as the bunny Man Bridge,

(01:16:44):
am as well as a white figure appearing late at
night underneath a bridge. Now here's what's interesting about this.
A legend says that in nineteen oh four, a group
of convicts were piled onto a bus to be transported
from an asylum Clifton, Virginia to a nearby prison. Well

(01:17:07):
en route, one of the bushes crashed. The convicts managed
to escape. The police were able to round everyone but one,
and as their search went on, they began to find skinned,
half eaten bunnies in the woods and hanging from the
overpass of Fairfax Bridge known as the bunny Man Bridge.
A year later, on Halloween night, several teens went to

(01:17:29):
hang out under the bridge. Come morning, they were all unalived.
It is said that if you hang out under the
bridge on Halloween night, you will meet the same fate
as the rabbits and the teenagers, and that actually is
true in Washington thirteen Steps to Hell urban legend, so

(01:17:51):
basically the opposite of the Zeppelin song. The multi cemetery
itself is a subject of rumors associating with Satanism. Is
rumored to include a subterranean tomb for a really creepy
rich family that could be accessed by thirteen steps that
led to their final resting place, or the final resting
place of every soul in history, as legend has it,

(01:18:14):
descending the entire staircase led you into a glimpse of
Hell itself. Well, the cemetery has been around since nineteen
oh one, though the crypt itself date has not really
been lost the time, and has had the stairs themselves,
which have been bulldozed and covered in concrete. That hasn't
stopped curious paranormal people from trespassing on the secluded private property.

(01:18:37):
So don't do this now. In West Virginia, Mothman So
I don't know if it was Mothman what I saw,
but I'll talk about that in just a second. From
the Gates of Health, So Mothman. The Mothman was introduced
to West Virginia nineteen sixty six with the best newspaper

(01:18:58):
headline ever. Couples see man sized bird creature something from
their Residents all over West Virginia reported seeing the winged,
human like, red eyed creature around the state, unsure if
it was a demon, alien, or genetic experiment gone wrong.
Even as recently as twenty sixteen, mothman signings have made
the news, yes, the actual news. In Wisconsin. The rhine

(01:19:24):
Lander hodagg so the hodagg is a small creature that
is simultaneously is a frightening demon comically covered in spikes.
It's often portrayed as a being a dog sized, but
earlier reports said it could grow to six feet long.
In nineteen twenty eight, legend describes the hodagg as having
the head of a frog, saber toothed, tiger like fangs,

(01:19:49):
thick legs with large claws, and the back of a
plated dinosaur, and a long tail with spears on the end. Okay,
that's interesting. Now here's what's interesting. The the Green Devil
was discovered in eighteen ninety three by developer Eugene Shepherd
and almost instantly became a fixture of North Wisconsin folklore.

(01:20:10):
Three years later, Sheppard claimed he caught another and put
it on display in eighteen ninety six at the county Fair.
He had knocked it out with the chloroform, so of
course it was sleeping. But he, of course he had
wires hooked up to the fake animal to make it
move occasionally, so words spread fast, and anyway that was

(01:20:31):
believe it or not an herban legend debunked, and of
course the Wyoming the Platte River ship of death. There
are endless creepy tails in the wilds of Wyoming, among
them a headless woman who haunts the lodge at Old Faithful.
But the creepiest is also the most overlooked, a ghost
ship that materialized out of a spectral fog on the

(01:20:54):
Platte River. The cursed crew huddles on the deck of
the old sailboat, surrounded the surround boy, and if the
onlooker persists in looking, the corpse is revealed to be
that of a still living loved one, who will then
pass away afterwards. So the ship was reportedly first spoted
in eighteen ninety two by a trapper named Leon Weber,

(01:21:18):
whose girlfriend passed away shortly after he envisioned her on
this cursed deck. So legend has it that the last
documented sighting claimed the life of Lumberjack's friend back in
nineteen oh three. There had been no official sighting since
though You could forgive people obviously if they truly believe this,

(01:21:38):
and they absolutely do so, Yeah, that's kind of creepy.
That's kind of creepy. Here's an interesting one. Let me
share the sums that are around the world by Aaron Chack.
Listen to this and again in about ten minutes, I'll
open up the chat to everybody on TikTok Soul Snatchers

(01:22:00):
of Bangladesh. So in Bangladesh, there is a story that
during funeral processions, all evil spirits that have sold themselves
to the devil tried to snatch the soul of the
deceased and drag them to help. The more people you
have during processions, the better, because you literally have to fight,

(01:22:21):
struggle and work very hard to hold on to the coffin,
so much so that some people find themselves extremely fatigued
and have to give up, and then other pall bears
actually take over. This is another one. The haunted tomb
at Gray Friar's Kirkyard, and in late nineteen nineties, a

(01:22:45):
homeless man in Edinburgh sought shelter from a storm in
a black mausoleum in Greyfriars Kirkyard, and once inside he
realized there might be items of value in the wooden coffins,
began smashing them and open in search of treasure, and
suddenly he fell through the floor into an underground chamber,

(01:23:06):
only to land in the stinking soup of rotted human bodies. See,
he had inadvertently discovered a pit where victims of the
plague had been tossed. The coffin he had disturbed right
before falling through the floor. It belonged to a notorious
rebel named Lord Advocate, Sir George Mackenzie, who was responsible

(01:23:29):
for the deaths of over eighteen thousand of his countrymen,
some of which lay in that very pit beneath his grave.
So now when people visit the cemetery, they report feelings
of unrest, cold winds, choking sensations, fainting, burns, gouges, cuts
and bruises. There have been, by the way it listit,

(01:23:51):
over five hundred cases of unexplained injuries of people who
visited this place. Here's another one in Oklahoma, near Oklahoma
between Missouri and Oklahoma spook Light. This person says I
lived near the site of spook Light, which is a
light that appears in a small area known locally as

(01:24:13):
the Devils Promulgate. It's on the border between south western
Missouri and northeastern Oklahoma. The spook Light is reported to
be the shining lamp of a Native American chief searching
for his missing head. Apparently back in the nineteen eighties
and nineties, a pair of teenagers teenage sisters took a
pumpkin and drew a smiley face on it before leaving

(01:24:36):
it out on the road where the spook Light can
be spotted. They went home immediately after and went to bed,
and when they woke up the next day, the pumpkin
was on their kitchen table, but instead of a smile,
it was scowling creepy. The Maryland goat Man in Beltsville, Maryland,
a scientist of Agriculture Research Center was experimenting on goats

(01:24:59):
when the sezure backfired and of course wants to smoke
clear the scientists had become a mutated half goat man,
half monster. Thank you. Legend says that the creature roams
the back roads of Beltsville with an axe, attacking cars
and wrecking havoc. La ya Rona, otherwise known as the

(01:25:20):
Weeping Woman, is a story of a poor Mexican woman
who married a rich Spaniard. Now after they had children,
the spaniard started losing interest in his wife. It was
embarrassed to be married to a woman without proceige thin.
In a rage, the woman took all of her children
to the river and unlive them, thinking that would appease

(01:25:41):
the spaniard. Instantly she was hit with regret. She started
screaming miss EHOs, miss mihos, which means my children, my children.
Today people say that layar Rona wonders near river banks
look for her children. So if la Verona finds any

(01:26:03):
children near the river alone, she lures them to the water. Yeah,
I've heard quite a bit about Laona. The Crescent Motel.
This is kind of creepy place, the Crescent Motel. So
guests of the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas have
claimed to notice ghostly activity during the stay. Among the

(01:26:24):
more famous ghosts are Michael, construction worker who fell to
his death while building the hotel. There's a place that
was in California, What is that hotel in California that
the nightstalker or that Serra killer? Who is it that
he stayed in? What was that place called something hotel?

(01:26:48):
It's in California, Cecil Hotel. Now, that would be an
interesting place to go to. That would be a very
interesting place. Yeah, is this that would be It's okay,
it's in Los Angeles. See, I've never been there, Cecil Hotel. Yeah.

(01:27:19):
And oh it's still operational. I didn't think it was
still operational. So it's still it's still there. Oh, it's
just near skid Row. Mm hmm. Wow. Oh wait, wait

(01:27:47):
it was I think it. I don't know. I don't
know if it's still available or not. It's still there,
apartments in hotel? Wow? Okay. The Rake here is an
urban legend. In New York. There is a creature called
the Rake who stalks suburban areas at night. The rake

(01:28:09):
is a grayskin, half human, half dog creature that walks
with a ruined, mangled posture, almost like it had been
hit by car. Anyone who looks back into its black
solis eyes becomes its victim. Oh okay, I'll have to
watch that, sis, Jennifer. It waits at the foot of
a person's bed then and when they wake up make

(01:28:31):
eye contact. It attacks the Loveland frogmen. In nineteen fifty five,
a salesman was traveling down an old road near Loveland, Ohio,
three point thirty in the morning when he spotted three
humanoid reptilian beings near the guardrail. He stopped to observe
them and notice they closely resembled frogs except for the

(01:28:52):
fact that they were nearly four feet tall. Right when
he was about to leave, one of the creatures raise
its hand above its head and way what looked like
a sparkling wand the man drove away spooted. There have
been multiple reportings on this since nineteen fifty five. The
next one is the Fresno night crawlers. This person says,

(01:29:14):
in my hometown of Fresno, California, we have these things
called the Fresno night crawlers. They are like gollum like
things that look like a pair of legs with a face,
and they come out at nights, but only only on
federal buildings in spaces to terrorize people and walking through.
They are rumored to be about seven to elite eleven

(01:29:36):
feet tall. Next one is flat Woods monster. In nineteen
fifty two, a couple of kids in flat Woods, Virginia
saw a bright light streak across the sky, tracted to
a field full of mysterious mists, and near the edge
of the field they spotted a seven foot tall, black bodied,

(01:29:57):
red eyed monster whose blood charge them and screeching until
the group ran off. The kids suffered throat burning, sore muscles, convulsions,
vomiting from ingesting the mist, and legend says that the
alien like creature is still trapped in the woods somewhere
trying to get home. The Jakartan call girl. There was

(01:30:21):
a call girl who got unalived in Indonesia. Somebody slashed
her face and unlived her. And after she passed away,
her phone number remain active. You can still call the
number and you will hear her pick up the phone. Allegedly,
after a couple of minute conversations, she will ask if
you want to meet her. If you say yes, she
will ask you to turn your head and look at
the window, and when you look at the window, you

(01:30:43):
will see her ruined face looking at you, smiling. The
clown statue. Now, I've heard of this room, and I've
heard of this I've heard of this urban legend. A
girl was babysitting one night, and upon entering the house,
she immediately noticed a clown staff. It creeped her out.
The eyes always seemed to follow her as she passed,

(01:31:04):
but she tried to ignore it, and after the children
had gone to bed, she called the parents and asked
if she could perhaps put a blanket over the clown
because it was starting to really creep her out. We
don't have a clown statue, the mother said, and obviously
she and the kids allegedly left. Okay. The legend of Griyla.

(01:31:28):
In the hills of Iceland, there lives a giant troll
with hoofs for feet and thirteen tails named Greyla, and
every Christmas, Greyla comes down from her mountain cave to
hunt for naughty children. Once she brings her bounty back
to the cave, she has two. Okay. The next one
is the Ghost Children of Munger Road. So in Wayne, Illinois,

(01:31:52):
there is a Munger Road that's supposed to be haunted.
The legend goes that its school bus, stalled on tracks,
was struck by a train. Now people will go park
on the tracks and put baby powder on their bumpers
because the ghost kids will leave fingerprints as they try
and push your car off the tracks. I have seen

(01:32:13):
videos of this. I have seen people actually do this.
They will place baby powder on the back of their
car and they will park on the tracks and they
will wait and wait, and then they leave. They pull
over and they allegedly see little kid's hands Stall cemetery.

(01:32:40):
So once a year on Halloween Night, the devil rises
from Hell through a portal in the small town cemetery
in Stole, Kansas. The area is so haunted that many
say that the Pope won't even fly directly over it anyway.
A large gnarled tree in the cemetery is said to
have been a terrible tree for witches, and a grave
marked with a name with it may house the bones

(01:33:01):
of Satan's own child again. Winding Stairs. There's a winding
road in the middle of nowhere. This person says near
my town called the Winding Stairs. A lot of satanic
richip there. After several years of black magic and satanic rituals,
the woods around the road started to get pretty haunted
and creepy. People say, if you drive out there and

(01:33:23):
turn off the car, demons will either push the car
or try to get in. You can see lights moving
in the woods and hear strange sounds. The country even
put a sign up that the road is closed a
few years ago, never took it down because they don't
want people to mess around with it. Wow, that's kind
of crazy. Yeah, so's there's a lot of really interesting

(01:33:50):
there's a lot of interesting urban legends. When you see
some of these urban legends and you think, and there
are so many guys there are we didn't even get
the half of them. But there are people who absolutely
swear by this, and they are you're not going to
tell them, You're not going to convince them otherwise. They
absolutely are convinced that these urban legends legends exist. Okay,

(01:34:13):
so for those of you who are on TikTok, I've
opened the chat up for everybody. I was okay, yeah,
so let's get into some paranormal con result. If you
have any questions, we'll be happy to jump into. If
you just have questions, I'll be happy to to entertain them.

Speaker 2 (01:34:41):
Oh hmm, one second, Oh boy, Yeah, yeah, I'm looking

(01:35:09):
at someone's mentioning about the pope and updated.

Speaker 1 (01:35:18):
Okay, so yeah, I'm trying to find it. Most updated information.
Bronchiospasm worsens PO France as a condition, but signs of
improvement emergence, says. Po Francis suffered an isolated episode of
bronchio spasm of February twenty causing vomiting deterioration in his
respiratory condition. Vatican News reports says here the Holy Father

(01:35:41):
and healed some of the vomit, leading to a sudden
worsening of his condition. He was immediately subjected to bronchio
aspiration clear airways placed on non evasive mechanical ventilation, which
improved his auctionygen levels. Wednesday evening, the office issued in
updating the Pope Francis condition had shown a slight further
improvement over the last twenty years. Twenty four hours, okay,

(01:36:05):
but so there was some improvement improvement there. I listened
to this. This is a very very interesting listen. This
is my TK randall. I don't know, this is kind
of strange. Let me see if I can share this
with everybody here. It does look weird, and then I'll
see if I can share this with you guys too.

(01:36:26):
On TikTok. That is kind of odd. Let me see
if I can find a hold on. It's got a load.
There is a odd face. Let me update this in
Antarctica and let me add it one secon Come on,

(01:36:54):
I don't know how to make it. Yeah, it's kind
of it's kind of a weird thing. Well, what I
can do is just take a screenshot of it, because
it's gonna take freakin forever. I don't know why they
won't sink not just take a picture of the damn thing. Okay, there,

(01:37:19):
so let me show this to you guys. This is
kind of weird. Yeah, that's so. There's a as you
saw a giant, creepy alien face discovered actually in art
in ant article on Google Earth. So a satellite image

(01:37:40):
covering part of a desolate antarcticle waste shows a feature
that looks deceptively like a face. So from the entrance
of a secret base to the silhouette of a giant
sea monster, amateur Google Earth sleuths have found all sorts
of strange and unusual features some of the world's remotest places. Well.
Their latest example, which was recently discovered and posted on Reddit,

(01:38:03):
shows a bizarre alien like face complete with a large nose.
Two closed eyes and a small slit like mouth. Weird
says you can find it, by the way, if you
want to find it, you can find it on Google Maps.
It's seventy two degrees zero zero. Well, it's seventy two

(01:38:28):
zero zero thirty six point zero s south if you
want to find it. So it's seventy two zero zero
thirty six point zero south, and the other it's one
sixty eight thirty four forty point zero east. Anyway, I

(01:38:52):
showed you that's what it looks like. But of course
this isn't actually a face, but an example of paradolia.
How many people say it's paradolia, so brains in aate
tendency to perceive meaningful shapes and otherwise abstract patterns. It's
the same phenomenon that enables us to see familiar shapes
and clouds, and also responsible the discovery of various weird
and wacky anomalies on the surface of Mars. But it

(01:39:14):
is interesting. I mean, when you see that, you see
the nose, you see the mouth, you see the eyes,
it's kind of creepy. I think it gives creepy vibes.
I don't know what do you guys think I'm gonna
show so you get let Michel. That is very strange,
but nonetheless it's there and you can actually google it. Yeah,

(01:39:35):
it does it. I mean you can see the eyes
and you can see the nose in the mouth. But anyway,
that's some folks found this on Google on Google Maps,
and so I just all you gotta do is in
our Antarctic Antarctic waste. It's a desolate Antarctic waste, so
and our Antarctic on Google Earth. So just type in

(01:39:58):
giant creepy alien face discovered in Antarctica on Google Earth.
I understand that. I understand the argument of paradolia. No, no,
it is that you can actually see it. So you
can actually go on Google Maps yourself. That's why I
gave the coordinates, and you can actually go there. Uh
and look at look at it yourself. That is just

(01:40:21):
really creepy. Let me see Google Maps. I'm not really
that great with Google Maps. I hardly ever use it.
But let me just try this. Where is this thing? Okay,
I am going to see there is the I'm going

(01:40:44):
to post it in the chat so all you guys
can get it. At least there's the chat for the coordinates.
I'm going to pace it in here. Okay, but how
are you supposed to layers? Yeah, that's all that's kind

(01:41:10):
of creepy. Yeah, you clearly see it. So folks, for
those of you who are on TikTok seventy two, just
type in seventy two space zero zero space thirty six

(01:41:33):
dot zero. Again, seventy two space zero zero space thirty
six dot zero and then give us space and that's
s that's south. Make sure you put south and then
it's one sixty eight space thirty four space forty point

(01:41:55):
zero east. And if you just type in Google maps
there it is so it's not a I and you
have to you have to type a click on terrain.
That is that is kind of that is that is
that's weird. Hm hmm. Yeah, that's well pretty cool that.

(01:42:22):
I think it's very very cool. And when you see
things like that, it's like, well that's got like okay, yeah,
so there you go, guys. Make sure you check make
sure you check that out because that's here's a very
interesting yeh, I did I just did. I showed it twice.

(01:42:49):
I did thor I showed it twice. I can do
one more and then we're gonta. We're gonna move on
the coordinates that I put in the chat and it
takes you right there. Yeah, there it is seventy two years.

(01:43:12):
Here there is excelth yep one sixty eight thirty four young.
I don't know, but listen, this is a very interesting conversation.
I want to this is we're going to do this
and then we have to close out on Facebook, YouTube
and all that other stuff and KGIDB reading. Listen, this
is a really cool article that I read. This is
by TK Randall. A burst of brain activity after death

(01:43:38):
could be the soul leaving the body. Really interesting. A
leading psychologist has identified an unusual burst a brain activity
that occurs after a patient has died. Says, there's do
we possess a soul that persists after we die or
consciousness that produce entirely within the physical brain. It's a
question that scientists, psychologists, philosophers have been attempting to definitely

(01:44:02):
answer for centuries, and a conundrum that we seem no
closer to solving. Well, that said doctor Stuart hammer Off,
he's a professor of anesthesiology and psychology at the University
of Arizona, believes that he may be closer than most
of finding an answer. So back in two thousand and nine,
researchers in George Washington University place small sensors in the

(01:44:24):
brains of patients deemed to be clinically dead just before
their life support machines were turned off. Surprisingly, they recorded
unexpected brain activity, sometimes lasting up to ninety seconds, occurring
after the patient had died. Now, doctor Hammeroff now believes
that this could be evidence of a soul leaving the

(01:44:47):
body upon death. He said, the research also suggests that
consciousness may be the last thing that goes when we die.
Quote this is what he says as the brain reaches
Now again, this guy is he's a professor of anesthesiology
and psychology, so this is not somebody who gets medical
information from YouTube. With all due respect, he says, as

(01:45:09):
