00:00:00.959 --> 00:00:05.599
This was a story that I caught on a BBC series of documentaries called Haunted.
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:07.759
So it's about the Mackenzie Cold Guys.
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:16.079
This guy rounded up 1,200 people, put them in an open prism in Edinburgh in in the winter, and essentially watched them starve and freeze to death.
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:26.480
We are going to travel from Scotland all the way over to Connecticut, and we're going to go back in time a little bit to the 1980s.
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:32.240
I think the truth is a little bit different, and I think we're still trying to uncover a lot of the truth, too.
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:36.000
And it's not your typical munster under the bed type of things.
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:40.960
It is a decaying old man who's snarling and threatening him.
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:46.640
And he's also telling him that he's going to hurt his family if they stay in that house.
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:14.560
And I'm here with the amazing Lady Teal and John Scott Comedy, who I could not do this without, of course, despite the title being Haunted Minds with Mr.
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:15.120
Graves.
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:16.560
I couldn't do without these amazing people.
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:18.079
So I'm so happy to be here with you guys.
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:20.640
So let me start with that, of course.
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:23.599
And then let's get into how everyone's been.
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:26.480
It's been a crazy leap.
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:28.560
That's what I was saying.
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.840
I was just talking to um Lady Till's John right before you got in.
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.480
Um, on a work trip, getting situated.
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:35.680
It's a lot going on.
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:37.760
Um, are you having fun though, Lady Till?
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:38.319
Everything?
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:44.799
Yes, it's I'm in Tampa, so I mean, what's better than being in Florida, right?
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:45.680
Right.
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:47.439
A little warm weather while you're working.
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:47.840
That's good.
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:48.560
How about you, John?
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:49.920
I know we're dealing with a heat wave.
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:51.359
It's a lot going on out there.
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:59.920
We have uh very unusual for us to have anything remotely like heat, but we've got it sufficiently just now.
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:01.120
And uh, I'm good.
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:06.400
Yeah, I'm I'm I'm getting ready for the first time in 10 years to go up to the Edinburgh Festival to tell some jokes.
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:09.280
I've not done that in in, as I say, a decade.
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:14.080
Uh, but somebody made me an offer I couldn't refuse, which was mainly involving money.
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.000
And so I'm gonna do that, yes.
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:18.400
Yeah, gotta handle that.
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:19.280
That we handle that.
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:20.080
I appreciate that.
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.319
Did the AC situation ever get worked out?
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.840
No, we we just don't have it in this country.
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.080
We we we're you know, we're backwards.
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:36.879
We think, yeah, we just get through extreme weather because we're not used to it, but now we're getting extreme weather, and so at the moment we just sweat, that's what we do.
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:39.039
That's something you can do.
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.919
Usually body tries to cool itself down somehow.
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.400
But well, I'm hoping everything works out.
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:45.759
Really hope it cools off.
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:48.000
You get some relief somehow, something.
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:48.719
Yeah.
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:52.719
So, with that being said, I guess we can jump right into it.
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:56.000
We have a great lineup of topics to discuss.
00:02:56.159 --> 00:03:02.719
Um, the first of which I really would love, John, if you could, you know, kick us off with that Scotland horror story you had.
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:04.319
Yeah, yeah, great.
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:10.319
So, I mean, this is a story I was really drawn uh it's awesome to be here on Haunted Minds to talk about this.
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:16.560
This was a story that I caught on a BBC uh series of documentaries called Haunted.
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:26.719
And you know, they were all great, but this one I I this happened where I I used to live, and I've been in the place where this story unfolded.
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:30.560
And watching a documentary, I found it really compelling and it scared me.
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:40.800
And that's good, that's what I want from these things, like you know, and uh so it's about uh the Mackenzie Poltergeist is the key title to the story, uh bit of history.
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.840
So George Bloody Mackenzie in Scottish history.
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:53.280
I won't get into the politics, but he was basically a royal enforcer, and you know, we're always having wars about one thing or another in Scotland and England.
00:03:53.520 --> 00:04:03.919
This guy rounded up 1,200 people, put them in an open prison in Edinburgh in the winter, and essentially watched them starve and freeze to death.
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.120
So he's not a good guy in our history.
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:17.920
And uh, but the the actual this poor guy's story that revolves around his name is a modern horror story that didn't start until 1999.
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:33.040
Uh the story kicks off with uh widely reported, we we can't prove it, a homeless guy cutting through Greyfriars graveyard where Mackenzie is buried, and where also is right next to the prison where all these people died.
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:36.720
And he fell through, he fell

through into the catacombs underneath.
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:42.800
And Edinburgh, as I say, there's built on several layers, and so that's quite believable that that could happen.
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:50.319
And that is believed what triggered a set of hoter guised type incidents.
00:04:50.480 --> 00:05:03.920
These these incidents mainly revolve around people feeling they've been attacked physically with you know scars, scratches, burns, um, bruising around the neck and everything.
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:05.120
That's how it started.
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:06.319
That's how it started.
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:16.560
Now, the the real entry point in the story, and of course, we we have to look at was this done for tourism, but the way this unfolds, it looks beyond that.
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:22.800
There was uh we have Edinburgh ghost tours uh around haunted places in Edinburgh, you know.
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:28.160
So it would really suit the guy that was running this tour for this place to turn out to be super haunted.
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.959
But I've seen a lot of documentary footage on him.
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:32.879
He was actually quite a skeptic about this at first.
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:45.439
His name was Jan Andrew Henderson, and uh he was doing the City of the Dead tours, and he had exclusive access to uh this this where this prison was and taking tourists in it.
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:57.199
And then one night when he was doing a tour, somebody collapsed on the tour in front of him, brought them around, they had bruising on the arms and the neck, and they said they felt an overwhelming presence.
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:03.439
He described it as saying it looked like they were hit by a by a bat and knocked over, and that was the start of it.
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:05.519
Even then, he's still skeptic.
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:11.360
But this happened a couple more times when he was doing tours around this particular place.
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.879
So then the local press, Edinburgh Even News got involved.
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:18.959
And by the way, the Edinburgh Even News is not like a tabloid paper, it's very conservative.
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:22.240
So they would be extremely skeptical about this kind of stuff.
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:29.839
But they they they went up to, you know, investigate, see what was happening, and it suddenly exploded in the Scottish press.
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:36.720
People sending in endless photographs, uh, you know, scratches, burns, bruising around the neck, all that kind of stuff.
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:37.920
Any of the Enread News.
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:39.680
We we can't verify any of it.
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:42.240
People could have done this to themselves, no problem at all.
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:44.399
But uh, but it but but the thing blew up.
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:50.240
The thing blew up, and so then it was decided by it was the editor, the news themselves, the the paper.
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:56.639
So they they can uh they contacted uh genuine, what do we call them, spiritualist?
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:58.000
That's probably another right word.
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:05.360
A qualified reverend, uh respected reverend to come and exercise this place.
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:08.560
Oh no, I should say, while yeah, this is a side story.
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:16.639
While this exorcism was happening, they had uh an Edinburgh Evening News photographer there taking photos of this guy conducting the exorcism.
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:22.720
And then the next day, the photographer, again, they're not a sensationalist newspaper news.
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:28.480
They've caught this one photograph of the of uh what's what I'm I need to find the man's name.
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.079
It's uh was oh goodness, I've not noted it down.
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:33.360
Uh I should have.
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:38.079
Uh anyway, the guy doing the exorcism, this spiritualist.
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.639
Um, behind them, there's a window.
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:46.480
And the photographer's taking photos, and behind them, the next day in the photos, the photographer found this image.
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:51.920
I've seen this image, and people should go and Google this related to the Mackenzie Porter guys.
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.959
And it looks like there's a figure watching from the window.
00:07:55.199 --> 00:08:04.240
Now, the photographer went back the next day and checked every angle, every way that a statue or something could have caused a shadow and could find nothing.
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:07.439
And even the photographer was kind of spooked in this documentary.
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:10.639
This is when things started to escalate in his documentary that started to make me interesting.
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:12.959
I was like, this is starting to get some interesting places.
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:19.680
So the man, I think the man that conducted the exorcism was spiritualist, George, and as I say, a qualified reverend.
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:29.759
And uh about two weeks later, well, on the night he was conducting the exorcism, he's he well, he staggered out of the graveyard that night saying he felt overwhelmed.
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:37.279
He said if he felt he kept conducting this exorcism, there was a presence of evil there that would put his life at risk.
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:40.399
Okay, this is this is documented, this was seen in front of witnesses.
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:43.360
And was the two weeks later exorcism on McKenzie?
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:47.039
Sorry, uh yeah, so an exorcism on the McKenzie Poltergeist, yeah.
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:54.399
And uh just on, but not on McKenzie herself, she wasn't the one receiving uh the McKenzie pollergeist.
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.559
Um, that's sorry, that is George McKenzie.
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:00.080
This good I should have had this noted the
name of this exorcist.
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:10.000
I thought I had it in front of me, but um no, he was trying to exorcise the McKenzie Poltergeist, which is you know steeped in all this wicked man folklore.
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:14.320
And on the night that he was doing it, and it's well photographed, you can you can find it online.
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:19.440
Uh, he refused to enter the tomb where this guy's buried, where many of these incidents are happening.
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:22.799
Because he said he felt overwhelmed by the presence of evil.
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:27.600
And he and he also said, I feel if I continue, this this could kill me.
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:29.600
Quite an extreme thing to say.
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:31.120
Quite an extreme thing to say.
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:31.679
Yeah.
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:42.960
So a couple of weeks later, he was involved in performing a seance in a in a clairvoyant shop in Edinburgh, and he suddenly became very weak.
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:52.480
And he approached a person that was there and said, and this is documented, and this is with witnesses, I have no more good news, I've only got bad news.
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:54.720
And then he died of a heart attack.
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:57.600
Right there, yeah, right there, right there.
00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:08.240
And uh, I found that like that's that's quite uh, you know, it's that's that's a potent piece of that story, but it doesn't even end there.
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:23.120
Um the the ghost tour guy by this point, all I'm trying to, I'm not shooting my ladies, all his employees, and I'm talking about 20 odd people, resigned from the job of doing ghost tours around around this graveyard.
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:24.720
They were like they wanted nothing to do with it.
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:33.919
This this was really escalating a situation that was beginning to frighten people, and uh so um Jan Anderson.
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:45.120
Whilst he was away from he he decided to become quite obsessed with the case and decided writing a book on it, uh, only to return one home one day and find his entire uh you call it an apartment.
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:57.600
It's uh it's a block of flats that we have in Edinburgh, we call tenements, and his place was burnt out entirely, everything gone, and yet nothing was damaged around that apartment.
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:03.759
And and I this this was a tricky one to to investigate on chat GPT.
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:04.960
I I looked at it.
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:09.519
How how tricky is it to fraudulently burn down your apartment?
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:16.080
In case you could be making money or something, and of course you got a warning at first from from okay going, don't burn down your house if that's what you're thinking.
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:22.159
I'm like, no, I'm trying to find out if if this is an easy thing to cover, and it's not, and it's not anyway.
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:33.919
The the the the inspectors could find no source of the fire that that that that burn out every all all the evidence, all the all the writing that he'd be doing, and his and his entire livelihood was gone.
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:35.120
And so he left.
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.200
He he he's in Australia now.
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:44.159
Uh so he went as far away as you could go to get away from this kind of story, and that that was in the documentary as well.
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:47.440
He he doesn't do ghost tours or anything anymore.
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:55.840
Uh but he does speak openly in documentary about how much it escalated and how much it unsettled him and and his life, you know.
00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:13.519
I mean, you see all of that happening when you see so many people involved, and that's I guess that's something I could tag in Lady Till here about when I'm thinking about reverence, um, people just going through the graveyard tour guides and everything, where would a paranormal investigator even start or get involved in that?
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:20.320
And then no one's thinking to tap into paranormal investigators, which is crazy to me, but it seems like that would be a specialty.
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:26.320
But I think when people are moving so much in fear and you know, fear of the unknown, you just don't even know where to start.
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:27.919
But like, what's what's your thoughts on it?
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.120
Everything, where would you have started if you were getting involved?
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:35.919
This was in the 1999, 2000s, right?
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:36.639
Yeah.
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:45.840
So paranormal investigating was around, but maybe not exactly what we think of it today.
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:51.840
Um, and I'm not sure, I can't really speak to how popular it is in Edinburgh.
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:59.519
Um, so that is also a consideration in the States, it's really big, but in Europe it might not be as big.
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:07.919
But I know here um paranormal investigators will work with exorcists, psychics, and whoever is on the case.
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:16.559
So um, and it sounds like they probably, if they're doing ghost tours, they've probably worked with paranormal investigators at some point on this.
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:27.519
Um, I think the part that is strange um is I think the guy's name was Colin Grant that you were talking about, John.
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:27.840
Yeah.
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:37.840
So that part with him passing away and spooking everybody, and then nobody really like researching it after is kind of weird.
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:43.440
Um, because normally if somebody were to pass away, then they would do even more research.
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:47.039
So it must have really frightened some people.
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:58.799
And um, I dropped in the chat if anybody wanted to look and see, like those are
all pictures from documented scratches that various people got while they were there.
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:05.919
So it's pretty, I mean, there like John was saying, there's a lot of documentation, which is crazy.
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:15.679
That's me drawing, I'm drawing notes over here because like um I wanted to definitely Google those images and maybe share them with our community and everything if possible.
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:30.960
Um, because there's with so much documented physical evidence and so many people involved, especially over 20 employees leaving, it just seems like there's so much to dig into and this traveled like in many ways.
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:34.879
We don't know where all those employees went, you know, one by one.
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:38.240
And they're definitely telling people about like, so what was your last job like?
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:39.840
Well, let me tell you.
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:50.320
Yeah, I think also because the guy who is supposedly the poltergeist, he's a pretty awful person.
00:14:50.720 --> 00:15:03.519
So you have that, you know, you got all that trauma from all the history, and and then now all of these people are experiencing their own trauma on top of that.
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:13.600
And I know um, I don't want to spoil it, but we'll be getting into like some psychological aspects of hauntings and everything later in the episode.
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:25.200
So yeah, it's a I actually had only heard about this particular um story through like friends of friends, so I never got to hear all the details.
00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:27.120
So I appreciate you sharing, John.
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:28.639
No problem, yeah.
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.120
I wish I I should have remembered calling Grant's name.
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.919
I thought I would have that in front of me and I apologize for that.
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:36.000
But yeah, and no disrespect to that man.
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:44.720
He seemed like a very plausible character in Amongst Us, and yeah, I find that a little bit unsettling as well.
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:45.360
Yeah.
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:47.120
Yeah, definitely.
00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:48.639
And no apologies necessary.
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:49.840
That's why we're a team.
00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:51.519
I think that was excellent, excellent.
00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:59.200
Unless you had anything else to you know wrap up there with John, I think Lady Teal just gave us a great segue to our next topic.
00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:01.840
All good, all good by me.
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:02.799
Perfect.
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:04.320
Take it away, man.
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:23.600
Well, we are going to travel from Scotland all the way over to Connecticut, and we're going to go back in time a little bit to the 1980s, and everybody is very familiar with uh the movies The Conjuring, I'm sure.
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:25.919
Have you guys seen The Conjuring series?
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:27.519
Top the bottom.
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:38.799
So it is one of my favorite um horror ghost story, poltergeist story series of movies that are out.
00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:45.600
But um, I think the truth is a little bit different, and I think we're still trying to uncover a lot of the truth too.
00:16:45.759 --> 00:17:06.960
So I'm gonna go back to the 1980s here, and uh we're going to talk about uh an 11-year-old boy named David who all of a sudden starts seeing things, and it's not your typical monster under the bed type of things, it is a decaying old man who's snarling and threatening him.
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:12.319
And he's also telling him that he's going to hurt his family if they stay in that house.
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:15.440
And as an 11-year-old, that's pretty frightening.
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:19.440
I would be scared if I saw an old guy coming at me like that.
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:28.240
So, first, everybody just assumes it's like a kid with an overactive imagination.
00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:30.480
Maybe he's getting some bad dreams.
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:35.599
Um, but then it starts escalating and then he starts having convulsions.
00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:46.079
Um, then he starts getting scratches, he's being choked, he's being literally thrown around the rooms by an invisible force.
00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:51.759
And I think one of the creepy parts to me is that his voice starts to change.
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:57.920
Um, instead of an 11-year-old boy voice, he starts sounding like an old man or a monster.
00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:04.720
Um, of course, the family's terrified, and they go and find a priest.
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:08.319
Um, and they that doesn't exactly work.
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:19.920
So they go and find Ed and Lorraine Warren, who um we all know are famous um exorcists and also paranormal investigators.
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:41.440
Um so now the Warrens are investigating this, and I'm gonna fast forward a little bit um for the sake of time, but they get an actual Catholic exorcism approved, which if you know anything about Catholicism, getting an exorcism approved is actually a lot of paperwork.
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:47.359
So the the church isn't just like handing out exorcisms like candy.
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:53.440
Yeah, they they view those that do it as the most, I guess, certified for lack of a better word.
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:55.519
Like, you know, anyone can't do this.
00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:58.559
If it didn't come for us, it's not real, you're not doing it.
00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:00.960
Someone could get hurt, you know, all that sort of stuff.
00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:04.400
So it's almost like the medical field almost.
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:08.480
I don't know if I'm giving like a you know analogy to it or anything.
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:09.119
Yeah.
00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:10.240
Yeah, yeah.
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:14.319
They they definitely take it extremely
seriously.
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:31.200
So then um, as we advance in the story, then Arnie Johnson comes in, and Arnie is engaged to David's older sister, and so they're you know, watching David go through all of this, and they obviously want to help.
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:43.359
So he actually grabs David during one of his episodes and starts yelling at whatever it is, saying, Leave the boy alone, take me, take me instead.
00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:47.359
And according to everyone, it worked.
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:55.839
The entity switched from David's body to Arnie's body, and then the convulsions just stopped.
00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:59.759
And the Warrens called this a transmigration.
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.920
So, this is the idea that a possessing spirit can jump from one body to another body.
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:09.680
Um, and everybody thinks all is good.
00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:12.400
Uh David's fine, case closed.
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:16.079
Then Arnie all of a sudden is not fine.
00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:20.880
So Arnie starts acting weird, people start noticing changes in him.
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:30.799
Uh, he get gets into the trance states, and then we get to 1981, February 16th, where Arnie has fianc fine.
00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:32.640
Oh my goodness, I can't talk.
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:35.440
Fiance, Debbie.
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:36.400
Be careful.
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:38.640
She's traveling, be careful.
00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:42.160
My brain's trying.
00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:53.359
Um, so they were all having pizza together, and the their landlord, 40-year-old man named Alan Bono, was there.
00:20:53.519 --> 00:21:01.839
And at some point during this party, um, Alan grabs a young girl who is here, and Arnie just snaps.
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:08.960
He proceeds to grab a knife and stabs the landlord, Alan, over 20 times.
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:12.960
He, of course, dies, and Arnie is arrested.
00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:32.640
And this is the first case where a uh trial is using the um what I'm gonna forget the word, the defense attorney uses the argument that Arnie was not responsible because he was being possessed by a demon.
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:41.200
So, like when you say not guilty because X, Y, and Z, he said not guilty because I was possessed by a demon.
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:46.079
And this is like the first time a case has gone to trial where they've used that excuse.
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:50.880
But then it gets shut down because it's not scientific.
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:58.880
So they don't know, like you can't scientifically prove that somebody's been possessed by a demon.
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:05.359
Um So that's where it gets like kind of fascinating from the legal side of things.
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:08.640
But he was sentenced to 10 to 20 years.
00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:10.880
Um he only served five.
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:21.759
And now, if we fast forward to today, everybody has different opinions on what exactly happened.
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:29.920
Um, because even some of the family don't believe that David, the original kid, was actually possessed.
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:38.319
Um there's theories that the mom was actually sedating him with a drug that made him get into those trance-like states.
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:54.720
And then there's also um theories that Ed and Lorraine kind of like pushed the family to do this for the movies and for the um like for the storytelling and for fame and everything.
00:22:54.880 --> 00:23:00.319
So we have all these theories that maybe it actually wasn't a possession.
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:02.319
I'm curious what y'all think.
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:04.880
I'll let you start, John.
00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:08.240
Okay, so I I'm familiar with this story.
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:11.599
Well, what what stuff are we watching at night to keep us awake like this, right?
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:19.759
But I uh no, I I think I've seen a documentary on this, and and it's been a little while.
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:43.119
But what's springing to mind is other witnesses in this story seeing visible changes of perhaps, like real switches uh in periods around this was happening, but that doesn't just immediately say uh demonic possession, that could say uh mental health, uh considered you know it's a mental health thing going on.
00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:48.160
Uh, I certainly remember watched dog men find it interesting that that was presenting as a defense.
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:53.359
Do we do we know much more about why why the sentence was reduced so much?
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:59.680
Uh to me, that would say, well, it was considered a psychiatric case and he he wasn't in control of his faculties.
00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:04.880
Um, but I'm not sure, does anybody know anything as to why the the sentence was was reduced so much?
00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:17.920
I I actually didn't do a whole lot of research into that side of thing, um, but I think it was just good behavior from what I remember.
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:24.480
Um because he served he served almost five years.
00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:28.880
I think it was like four years and 11 or four years and 10 months.
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:37.680
And then it basically came down to how he was acting behind bars, and he was a good person, I guess.
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:42.880
So um, yeah, I believe that was the case as well.
00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:50.160
Um, if I remember right, doing some quick research, and then also um certain parts of the movie that were accurate.
00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:54.960
Um, he didn't try to run away per se, he was just gone.
00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:58.319
So that was to them kind of okay, that's odd.
00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:03.119
Like you just did this a very violent crime, 20 stabbings and all of that.
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:06.400
And then you're not even trying to get away, so that's a gap.
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:11.359
And then when
he was being um, when he was arrested, he didn't try to say I didn't do it.
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:13.279
Just like, yeah, that was me.
00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:14.640
I did it, you know.
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:30.640
And there, Ed and Lorraine were more so about the exorcism and everything, which goes to Lady Till point of uh people bringing them into it, like, oh, they talked them into doing this for the sake of fame and all of that, because they're like, it was the devil made you do it, right?
00:25:30.799 --> 00:26:08.480
So we were a little out of control, but he was always a more um timid or nice or whatever type of word you want to put on it, and that goes to the uh I'll say irony, I don't know the right word to use here, of the difference between when you're talking about mental health and everything, like John said, there are a lot of things where you can't necessarily scientifically prove it, you know, that a person is this, there's plenty of things there are, but then when it comes to um the devil making you do this or anything like that, it's not classified as mental health, it's classified as like, oh, you're just lying about possession.
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:21.359
You know, there's just a gap in the mentality of what they you know persecuted him for, but that goes that goes to the fear of the unknown and kind of just everything we're talking about with a lot of these stories is just like scary.
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:21.839
Yeah.
00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:23.039
Can I come in on that, Ron?
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:28.960
So I I I work uh in community engagement, I teach creative writing, and I work with mental health groups.
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:39.279
And this idea that a person's uh personality can fracture and it can be one person in one moment and another person in another moment, it is quite that's a myth.
00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:43.279
That's that's not how more extreme mental health affects people.
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:49.599
And and and I am dredging up memory from from watching this, but I'm sure I watched a documentary about this.
00:26:49.920 --> 00:27:05.279
That was the unsettling element of it, is that people that knew this person well saw real personality, persona, everything change about them and going from one state to another.
00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:14.079
And so I wouldn't, you know, I'm not saying that couldn't be mental health, but I would I wouldn't just go, that's a typical example of mental health.
00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:20.720
That's not how uh more acute cases of mental health actually affect people, and that's something I find interesting.
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:24.160
100% wordy perfectly.
00:27:24.319 --> 00:27:34.480
Yeah, it is it is weird, and he does like he did mention that he was having blackouts and things, and he couldn't remember, he doesn't even remember doing it.
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:56.240
Um, and so like it makes you wonder if there, I mean, there's something else going on, maybe, or I mean,
I know I personally have experienced blind rage where you're seeing red, but that's I've never had it to the extent that I want to go stab somebody 20 times, you know.
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:12.160
So I I don't know if that level of intensity is different in different people too, and maybe he just, you know, had a moment of blind rage, and because of his good behavior, then everything went back to normal.
00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:30.400
But I know um there's several quotes that I found from Arnie that he's like talking about how he doesn't actually think he was possessed, and then there's several quotes where he was like earlier, closer to the time it all actually happened, he does think he was possessed.
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:35.119
So there's a little little conflicting information there too.
00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:51.680
Yeah, and it really that's why you need experts in fields, just like you and John, which you're experts in, which you've studied, which you worked hard on, and then giving um unbiased opinions, like just looking at the facts that's in front of you based on what you you know are best at.
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:59.920
And you know, we don't know because we weren't there, so it's like it's all of those elements you read upon these stories, and it's like wow, yeah.
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:21.359
I I just find it interesting, Ron, that there was a there was a level of understanding about this, whether it was mental health or something unusual happening, that this guy lost his sense of faculty and his sense of right and wrong, but that doesn't mean to say that was the person that he really is.
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:25.200
There seemed to be, with this short sentence, uh an understanding about that.
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:27.279
So, so that can be mental health as well.
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:28.720
That can be mental health as well.
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:29.039
Yeah.
00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:30.319
Excellent point.
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:32.319
Yeah, very true, very true.
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:44.319
Yeah, and I think the one thing that's really different about this case, if we compare it with the case that John just talked about, um, is there is a lot of lack of evidence with this case.
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:50.000
Like there when I was looking at the Scotland stuff, there's pictures all over the place.
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:56.559
There are no pictures of David levitating, there's no pictures or videos of that.
00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:00.319
Like it's there's there's nothing.
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:08.079
And in the 80s there were cameras, so like I mean, they were Polaroid cameras and stuff, but there were still cameras.
00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:09.920
There were still cameras for sure.
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:15.759
And then um, if I remember correctly, they were deep in the they were deep in the south, right?
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:19.920
And it was like a small town situation, and it but it was Connecticut, yeah.
00:30:20.160 -->
00:30:21.440
Oh, Connecticut, okay, yeah.
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:32.799
So I don't know what was a around and it because that was another thing, like the amount of witnesses, we would only have the young lady, and yeah, no one else was around, right?
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:36.400
Yeah, so yeah, interesting, great comparison.
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:37.759
That makes complete sense, yeah.
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:40.480
Anything else to um add there, John?
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:44.400
It just sounds exactly like what I grew up in Scotland.
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:51.599
Yeah, I come from a small town as well.
00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:00.240
John, were there shit levitating around you all the time or what?
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:05.440
Like, how is it oh my time was like Twin Peaks, it was unreal.
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:09.920
I love Twin Peaks, that's one of my favorite shows.
00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:11.039
Me too.
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:15.119
That is excellent.
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:15.920
That was excellent.
00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:33.839
Also, I just want to throw out there, um, I don't know if y'all have ever read the contracts for uh Ed and Lorraine Warren and how they're portrayed in movies, but uh the actors who play them are some of my favorite actors and they play them very well.
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:45.519
They're like a cute couple who are there in solidarity and everything, but there are actually stories of perhaps Ed having some uh cases of infidelity.
00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:59.759
And in their contract, it states that every single movie that portrays them must portray them in a way where Ed does not have any girlfriends or is not cheating or anything like that.
00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:09.519
And it's like such a specific way that it's worded where you wonder like most people probably wouldn't put that in if they had something to worry about.
00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:17.839
So it makes you think like maybe there were things going on, maybe they were not quite the stand-up people that everybody thought they were.
00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:20.880
I'm 100% with you on that point.
00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:22.400
I've read a bit about them as well.
00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:31.039
And uh, you know, they're the most famous paranormal investigators, but yeah, there's there's uh there's enough reasons to be skeptical about them as well.
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:50.880
And then I've read that uh that number one, that was an excellent point because it goes to how you put your two cents into how a story is being portrayed and depicted when in the beginning of all the movies, it's like this is these are from real cases and everything's real, and these are the facts, you know, preface with that.
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:54.079
But then you have something in there is like, okay, accept this part though.
00:32:54.240 --> 00:33:06.960
Um, and then I believe that they're the only people that are not a part of, to your point earlier, Late to like only people part of the
that are certified exorcists but not a part of the Catholic Church, something like that.
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:09.759
I think yeah, recognized or something.
00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:12.720
Yeah, another interesting thing about them, yeah.
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:19.279
But yeah, so some of the best movies and horror and thrilling, you know, thrilling movies.
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:20.720
I love those movies.
00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:39.440
Yeah, definitely my favorite, and I love how they kept the same actors the entire course, so it gives that continuity of the story, and I believe um it's the woman that plays Lorraine's younger sister that's the um young lady from the Nun series.
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:45.519
Yeah, and she's she also plays in uh I think American Horror Stories, too.
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:47.200
Yep, yep, yep.
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:48.400
Also one of my favorites.
00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:53.200
We can have a we're gonna have to add an episode about uh horror stories for sure.
00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:54.720
And even Loubi Club.
00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:58.720
Yay, let's do it.
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:03.519
Um all right, so moving on to our next topic.
00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:05.279
Um, lead eye mask.
00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:07.359
We're going, we're traveling to Brazil here, John.
00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:08.960
You want to take it away?
00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:29.280
Yeah, so I'm just discovering this this story via Lady Chill uh today about these Mexican guys who were found with uh lead can eye masks on, and they had instructions in their pockets as well, written out, and and no both dead, nobody could figure out reason for death.
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:45.039
It's it's to do with um well possibly to do with aliens, UFOs, and that I have my own story around that that I'm not gonna get into in episode one, but I have other stuff about a friend that I can get into tonight.
00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:48.880
Uh it it's I'm a believer in that kind of thing.
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:54.159
Uh, I've just been able to see Spielberg's new movie Disclosure Day, which everybody found quite disappointment.
00:34:54.559 --> 00:35:03.599
But I I thought it was beautiful in the message that it sent out that if the aliens are coming, all they're trying to teach is us we need to be more empathetic towards each other.
00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:05.039
That was the message of the movie.
00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:12.159
It wasn't quite as thrilling as War of the Worlds, which was, you know, we're all gonna die if we don't find up theirs.
00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:24.880
But it's certainly very intriguing story, and uh yeah, I I I have some intriguing stuff in my own life, and and we're friends around the whole our aliens rule thing.
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:29.599
So, so so so let maybe Lady Teal take over this one, maybe not a bit more than me.
00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:33.440
Yeah, I can I can give you the rundown of what happened.
00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:50.159
Um, so there is
a kid in the local town that was flying a kite, and it's just a normal sun, summy, summer day, and he notices something, he goes to take a look, and there's just two men lying there completely dead.
00:35:50.320 --> 00:36:04.559
So at first glance, you think it could be anything, it could be gang related, it could be maybe they had a fight, and you know, but both men are in formal suits, and then they have raincoats on top of them.
00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:10.000
There's no wounds, there's no blood, there's no sign of struggle at all.
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:13.519
It just looks like they laid down and died.
00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:26.400
And then next to them, there was an empty water bottle, there were some wet towels, and then covering their eyes, they didn't have sunglasses or goggles or anything else on.
00:36:26.559 --> 00:36:30.480
It was like homemade masks that were cut out of lead.
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:32.559
And they're they're very crude.
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:38.639
It was like hand cut, um, like maybe you would cut metal with like sniffs or something.
00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:42.320
So now these men were their names were.
00:36:48.400 --> 00:36:51.119
Um, their years are Manuel.
00:36:52.000 --> 00:37:04.480
If I can get my words out, the men who were killed, um their names are Manuel Pereira de Cruz, 32 years old, Miguel Jose Viana, 34 years old.
00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:06.639
And they were both technicians.
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:14.880
Um, they actually seem to be good friends, uh, so no malintent or anything like that.
00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:21.760
But they told their families that they were heading out to buy work supplies, and instead they take a bus in the opposite direction.
00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:22.800
So that's weird.
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:27.519
Like they're telling friends and family they're doing one thing, they go and do a different thing.
00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:42.159
Um, they've got a significant amount of cash on them, like enough to buy a used car down there, but they buy raincoats, but it's summer day and it's not raining, so that's weird to you.
00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:48.000
Um, and then they bottle buy a bottle of water from a bar, y'all.
00:37:48.159 --> 00:37:49.760
Like that is super weird.
00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:58.320
Buy a bottle of water in a soup.
00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:00.400
Yeah.
00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:06.159
So everybody said that they like whoever interacted with them, they said they seemed kind of nervous.
00:38:06.239 --> 00:38:09.679
Um, and they kept like checking their watches and all of that.
00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:18.960
Um, but the last confirmed sighting of them was they hitched a ride up to this hill in a Jeep with two men who were never identified.
00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:20.639
We don't even know who they are.
00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:22.559
Nobody's ever seen them.
00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:30.320
Um, so then we have a notebook that's found right next to the bodies, and somebody had written a set of instructions.
00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:42.719
It said 4:30 p.m., be at the determined place, 6 30 p.m., swallow capsules, after effect, protect metals, wait for mask signal.
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:47.519
I don't know what that means.
00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:50.400
Can I comment that?
00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:51.920
I I I love this.
00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:53.599
That's the I mean the truth is out there.
00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:56.800
I don't need anything more from that story.
00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:00.480
Yeah, it's this aliens and it's government conspiracy.
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:01.920
You don't need to tell me anything more.
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:04.239
Like, yeah, uh that's stunning.
00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:08.639
That is a stunning story of you know the unexplained.
00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:10.639
And uh yeah, sorry, I just love it.
00:39:11.519 --> 00:39:13.599
No, they oh no, your light turned off.
00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:15.679
I'll get it, I'll get it back on again.
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:18.719
The aliens heard you and you're testing.
00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:21.199
You said too much, John.
00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:26.639
You said it keeps happening.
00:39:26.719 --> 00:39:30.800
You've no idea what it's like doing this on a spooky night when my light's going on all the time.
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:32.719
We'll fix that for the next time.
00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:34.079
And it's fine.
00:39:34.960 --> 00:39:43.360
Well, so the note said that they get it gave instructions to swallow capsules, but no capsules were ever found.
00:39:43.599 --> 00:39:49.679
And then there it was like a really long time before the autopsy actually happened.
00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:53.920
So they couldn't actually run like a toxicology testing thing.
00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:58.239
So we don't actually even know if they took any capsules.
00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:08.960
Um, so there's one theory that's like the most credible theory, and that is they were also known as scientific spiritualists.
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:20.719
Um, so they used like electronics and radio equipment to make contact with the spirit world, which is kind of cool and kind of similar to like what some paranormal investigators do.
00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:27.360
They also tried to make contact with Mars, um, which is also interesting, I think.
00:40:27.599 --> 00:40:36.079
And then two months before the men died, there was a device that the three of them had built and it exploded.
00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:41.840
Which I don't know if that's where like the lead scraps come from or what.
00:40:41.920 --> 00:40:50.159
Um, but those they found like similar tools and similar material from that that were sitting next to them.
00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:52.239
So it kind of makes you wonder.
00:40:52.480 --> 00:41:02.400
Um and when I think of like scientific spiritualism, I don't sometimes I kind of lean more into Scientology.
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:08.639
I know it's not the same thing, but then sometimes I get
like weird cult vibes from the story too.
00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:19.280
So um, we also have like a yoga instructor who told the newspaper that this spiritualist scene was using psychedelic drugs.
00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:24.400
Um, so maybe they overdosed accidentally or something.
00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:26.400
That's what the capsules were.
00:41:26.559 --> 00:41:28.400
Maybe it was like a ritual of some sort.
00:41:28.559 --> 00:41:32.639
That's the first credible theory, but there's still a lot of missing holes in it.
00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:37.840
The second theory, that's the most popular one, is what John said, UFOs.
00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:51.199
And the reason UFOs is the second theory, is because a woman who lived near that hill actually saw a an orange UFO hovering over where they were.
00:41:57.360 --> 00:41:58.960
Yeah, I'm I'm with it as well.
00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:16.400
And I I also that there's a new uh dialogue emerging about seeing UFOs or UFO encounters that is to do more with consciousness and or perceived reality than people traveling billions of light years across because that's impossible almost.
00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:18.480
And I kind of like the angle of that as well.
00:42:18.559 --> 00:42:20.400
That might lead us into what we're gonna talk about later.
00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:22.239
But yeah, just a thought on that.
00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:23.199
Yeah, yeah.
00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:25.760
Yeah, I I like that idea too.
00:42:26.079 --> 00:42:34.719
And like with the theory that the universe might be multiple dimensions, or you know, any how do you travel from multiple dimensions?
00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:38.239
But if it's consciousness, that would be super easy.
00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:42.320
So it's a fascinating story.
00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:50.880
Deja vu, I think was my first experience because I've been thinking about that into that for a long time, just like you know, you had John.
00:42:51.119 --> 00:43:01.199
And I think deja vu is the first time I really thought about like that concept of your I've already done this, and I've that familiar feeling, it's literally this spiritual consciousness.
00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:10.559
Like, no, you really have, and it's this playback or a mistake with the system of the aliens or whatever, you know, you weren't supposed to see that, you know.
00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:19.440
I mean, however, some concept of that is, especially when um, if we're talking specifically about this story, like it's the laying side by side for me, right?
00:43:19.599 --> 00:43:23.599
Like you said, that's how they were found with no wounds or anything like that.
00:43:23.760 --> 00:43:39.199
So even if I guess you could take capsules of some sort that you think would kill you, or potentially, and you both lay down side by side, but like if you overdose, I mean you're dropping and it's not perfectly side by side.
00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:41.280
So the accidental part of it.
00:43:41.440 --> 00:43:53.039
It's just so many little things here that point to the supernatural situation happening more than just psychedelics gone wrong with the crazy space people.
00:43:57.679 --> 00:43:59.760
Well, yeah, I mean, I'm I'm old, I'm 56.
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:05.039
I'm from the 1990s, and as far as I know, you can't overdose on psychedelics.
00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:11.360
Yeah, but that was my youth.
00:44:11.440 --> 00:44:12.559
That's a long, long time ago.
00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:21.599
But uh yeah, I don't know if you can overdose on those kind of drugs, apart from you know, you maybe send your brain a bit sideways, but I don't know if physically if that can kill you.
00:44:21.840 --> 00:44:24.159
Uh those those kind of experiences.
00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:26.880
So yeah, worth considering in that as well.
00:44:26.960 --> 00:44:27.519
Yeah.
00:44:27.760 --> 00:44:29.280
Yeah, yeah, 100%.
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:33.920
Um, anything else to add there, Leto, before we move on?
00:44:34.559 --> 00:44:40.239
I just wanted to say there's a lot happening in South America right now with UFOs.
00:44:40.559 --> 00:44:43.760
So all right, it makes you wonder.
00:44:44.639 --> 00:44:48.559
I mean, if we're looking at real, you know, so many UFO stories.
00:44:48.639 --> 00:44:56.639
Like, I don't, you know, if you guys remember a couple years ago, the whole radar balloons popping up everywhere, and there's like, oh, they're just going off course.
00:44:56.800 --> 00:45:00.000
Don't look at that, you know, stop looking up at the sky, guys.
00:45:00.239 --> 00:45:02.559
But, you know, what was that really like?
00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:15.039
You know, just so many questions in the world and multiple situation cases that just really makes you think there's something else there, and it's all paranormal, it's all worth investigating, it's all worth talking about.
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:20.000
But it always gets to a point where someone just said, like, please take your tinfoil hat off.
00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:25.440
Um, we're getting close to the end here.
00:45:25.679 --> 00:45:36.079
So if we wanted to talk about um Widow's Bay, is what I have down here when we're talking about, you know, uh this final season concluding on Apple TV.
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:37.679
Have you guys been following that?
00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:39.920
I binged it.
00:45:41.039 --> 00:45:42.000
Wonderful, wonderful.
00:45:42.159 --> 00:45:44.239
Yeah, I've always I've watched Widows Bay too.
00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:50.159
Uh great, really, because uh because it was spooky at parts and extremely funny other parts.
00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:59.679
And I think that's a really difficult mix to pull off as both the the the comedy and the you know slightly unsettling thing that Widows Bay has got on.
00:45:59.760 --> 00:46:00.400
I thought it was great.
00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:01.440
I thought it was great.
00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:02.880
Yeah, awesome.
00:46:03.039 --> 00:46:12.400
I think we could wrap with, you
know, Lake Two, if you wanted to tell us since you got the binge it, like most recent, if you want to tell us about your favorite scene or anything, something light for us to wrap up on.
00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:16.480
Just I well, okay, one of my favorite scenes.
00:46:16.639 --> 00:46:20.880
I mean, this is spoilers for anybody who hasn't watched it, obviously.
00:46:21.039 --> 00:46:24.880
So um giving you guys plenty of advanced notice.
00:46:25.119 --> 00:46:37.920
Um, so one of my favorite scenes was when the one gal who's like the mayor's assistant, um, she throws the party and she reads the book and she thinks it's like the best party in the whole world.
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:50.960
And there's like the scene where she's dancing and she's just having the time of her life because she's socially awkward, but all of a sudden everybody loves her and it's because of this book, and it helped her so much.
00:46:51.119 --> 00:47:05.840
But there's like a quick moment in the scene where it goes from everybody's dancing and having fun to everybody is just standing still and they're in a trance, and it's so creepy, but it's also funny at the same time.
00:47:06.159 --> 00:47:10.400
And that's like that was one of my favorite episodes.
00:47:11.519 --> 00:47:12.719
Absolutely love that.
00:47:12.880 --> 00:47:23.119
This is like the great things that make these shows so great is that great camera work, camera work, and those great little moments that just make you say, What just happened there?
00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:25.760
And then everyone on cue to just stop and do it.
00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:28.079
It's just like I love it, I love it.
00:47:28.159 --> 00:47:30.239
These are this is why I binge these type of shows.
00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:37.679
I can go into a whole rant about one of my favorites where I had a similar moment somewhere in there was the fall of the house of usher.
00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:46.480
I think we might have talked about that off pod one time, but uh before I take up so much time, we're definitely gonna talk about that in one of our next episodes.
00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:49.199
But if everyone's good, I think we can wrap here.
00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:53.679
If anyone else had anything they want to bring up or say, I'm all good, Ron.
00:47:53.760 --> 00:48:01.199
Uh, fall of the House of Usher is one of the greatest horror things that's been made in recent years, and he's a stunning director.
00:48:01.360 --> 00:48:03.119
So I look forward to any work from him.
00:48:03.199 --> 00:48:05.920
So I'm happy to wind up on that and we can move on.
00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:06.400
Yeah.
00:48:06.639 --> 00:48:07.199
Yep.
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:10.239
Well, we can we definitely, like I said, add that to the list.
00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:13.440
But I think we could uh wrap things up here.
00:48:13.599 --> 00:48:16.719
Um, once again, we are the Haunted Minds podcast.
00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:22.239
I am Buddy Graves, my amazing partners in crime here, Lady Till, John Scott Comedy.
00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:24.159
