00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:04.480
It's midnight on the radio. The phone lines are open,
2
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:08.160
the signal is strong, and somewhere out in the dark,
3
00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:13.439
people are calling in with impossible stories of faceless figures,
4
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:17.480
dark roads, and voices in the static. But the callers
5
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:21.320
aren't the most terrifying thing. It's everything else.
6
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.359
What's that You want to be scared?
7
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:30.320

Over our roam, ghosts.
10
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:42.880
And death gut.
11
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:50.240
It is not recommended for the weet our heart listeners
12
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:54.280
in the dark. It's more fun at that way way.
13
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.119
This is Weekly.
14
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:09.799
Speaking, Hello my Spookyes, it's Wednesday, and you know what
15
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:14.719
that means. It's time for a little spooky in your

from the Hood, and many other films and TV shows.
22
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.799
This episode is extra special for me because what got
23
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:50.400
me into doing this podcast in the first place was
24
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:57.400
that mysterious unknown void of am radio a space that
25
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:02.239
brought all kinds of dreams and nightmares to life. So
26
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:07.439
tonight I'm recreating that vibe to tell you a story.
27
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:11.520
We'll be tuning in to a little station out of
28
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:17.639
a small town where something big is happening. But before
29
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:19.599
we get to that, I want to say thank you
30
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.919
all so much for joining me on this four hundred
31
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:27.719
episode celebration. I really really went all out, and I
32
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:31.759
hope you enjoy it so very much. It's been a
33
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:37.039
dream to bring you four hundred scary stories, and there's
34
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:42.960
no plan on stopping anytime soon. Now, as for tonight,
35
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.879
there's something strange about a voice in the middle of
36
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:52.439
the night on the radio. It can feel like company
37
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:56.120
when the roads are empty, when the house is quiet,
38
00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:00.960
when the world outside your window has gone black. It
39
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:05.800
tells you that someone else is awake, someone else is listening.
40
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:10.199
But what if the signal goes farther than it should.
41
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:15.080
What if the wrong thing hears you. Tonight's tale comes
42
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:19.240
from the lonely hours after midnight, where a paranormal talk
43
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:25.199
show host opens the lines and invites the unknown to speak.
44
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:29.800
But once a voice enters the void, it may not
45
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:40.800
be so easy to get it back out. Final broadcast
46
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:42.680
by Enrique Kuto.
47
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:50.080
You're joining us togab on to Newbraska. Talk to me.
48
00:03:53.400 --> 00:04:01.639
It's midnight, it's dark, the quiet can be overwhelming. It's okay, though,
49
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:07.479
because you are lost in the void and I'm Randall Byrne.
50
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:12.560
It is a beautiful, clear night over the Great Plains.
51
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:18.839
The ionosphere starts to dissipate, and our beefy twenty thousand
52
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:25.439
watts reaches hundreds of miles into the ether. No way
53
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:30.920
to know exactly how far. So who needs syndication When
54
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:35.040
we've got the laws of physics. We're happy to have
55
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:39.199

your dialing th we have some news to get. To
60
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:13.279
researchers in Northern norway are reportedly investigating strange blue lights
61
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:19.480
moving under a frozen lake Near. Tramsau let's, say said Tromsaw.
62
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:24.600
Tramsau can you imagine being in the northern part Of?
63
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:30.000
NORWAY i mean the country basically means. North how far
64
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:34.920
north do you get before you're finding. Yourself South, well
65
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:40.120
local residents say the lights appear just after midnight and
66
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:45.600
seem to follow people walking along the. Shore officials insist
67
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:51.000
it may be an unusual but natural. Phenomenon, however fishermen
68
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:54.800
in the area claim the lights have been seen for,
69
00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:02.920
generations always before someone. Disappear could there be some sort
70
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:08.959
of extraterrestrial lurking in the Deep the water is hard to.
71
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:14.000
Investigate the oceans are as mysterious as outer, space at
72
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:18.279
least when it comes to our. Understanding it could be
73
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:21.959
easy to cozy up under the ice and wait for
74
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:27.360
someone to pass by, alone snatch them, up and keep
75
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:34.079
gathering intelligence on the volatile ape. Species of, course who
76
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:38.759
knows what pertinent details we just might be missing. Here
77
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:44.199
while it is a long, shot a very long, shot
78
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.519
it would be a dream to have someone out that
79
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.199
way give us a. Call these news stories are always
80
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:58.319
so hard to grasp properly because of editorial. Influence usually
81
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:03.360
use to make them more palatable for the. Public as
82
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:07.279
my Wife jen loves to, say a lie can travel
83
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:10.720
around the world before the truth even has time to
84
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:16.439
get the curlers out of her. Hair, okay let's head
85
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:22.959
Down south, AWAYS i mean Way. South ranchers Outside Bahia,
86
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:28.360
Blanca argentina say several herds of cattle were discovered standing
87
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:35.680
silently in near perfect rings before, dawn refusing to move for.
88
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:41.600
Hours no sign of, predators, storms or trespassers were. Found
89
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:46.439
one ranch hand claims he heard a low humming sound
90
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:51.680
quote like power lines under the, ground even though there
91
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:59.920
are no lines for. Miles vibrations electromagnetic. Radiation it's a whi.
92
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:04.639
Thing it's how you're listening to this right, Now these
93
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:10.120
invisible waves all around, us zooming past our faces while
94
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:14.319
we go about our. Day but what do these vibrations
95
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:22.399
have in? Common? Communication the waves carry, tones, codes, words
96
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:26.040
whatever you want to put on. Them seems like the
97
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:34.200
cattle are. Receiving so who's? Broadcasting i've got my, theories
98
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:40.120
but that is for another. Time back In North, america
99
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:46.840
listeners in Remote, Manitoba canada say a weather radio broadcast
100
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:53.360
was interrupted by an unknown, voice calmly repeating do not
101
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:58.559
look at the tree. Line the message allegedly aired for
102
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:05.759
thirteen seconds before normal programming. Resumed federal authorities deny any
103
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:14.080
such interruption, occurred but recordings have begun circulating. Online i'm
104
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:17.840
not sure WHAT i find stranger about, this the ominous
105
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:22.799
message or the fact that so many people were concurrently
106
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:28.480
listening to weather, radio let alone getting a recording of.
107
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:34.360
It my Producer boyd is reminding me that with smartphones
108
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:40.279
in everyone's, hands capturing a random moment isn't so unusual to,
109
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:44.120
THAT i, say mister smarty, pants if they have an
110
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.120
iPhone in their, hand why on earth are they checking
111
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:51.799
the radio for the. Weather then, AGAIN i shouldn't talk
112
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.000
too much, smack considering we are over the air and
113
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.559
grateful for every damn one of you, listening and my
114
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.360
diligent producer has queued up a recording of the sound
115
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:08.600
for us to. Sample play it for, Me, boyd.
116
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.799
Do not look at the tree. Line do not look
117
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:16.960
at the tree. Line do not look at the tree.
118
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:23.519
Line, WELL i would be lying IF i said that
119
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:29.879
wasn't a bit. Eerie could it be a frequency outside
120
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:34.039
of our normal, listening or maybe an echo of a
121
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:39.519
warning from the, past our, past though that's a little
122
00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:45.200
harder to. Say BUT i promise you our radio waves
123
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:49.960
aren't trying to trick you into anything beyond supporting our.
124
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:58.159
Sponsors that's The Randall burr promise perfect TIMING boyd heading

local saying an abandoned hilltop temple has begun ringing its
127
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:15.600
bells every night at three seventeen. Am residents report that
128
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:20.960
the sound continues for exactly four, minutes even when the
129
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:26.879
temple doors are locked and the interior is. EMPTY a
130
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:31.600
local official dismissed it as, pranksters though no footprints or
131
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:36.720
signs of entry could be. FOUND i Swear i'm smarter
132
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.840
than EVEN i, thought because we're, back yet again to

00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:46.000
the basest of elements on this rock of, ours frequency.
134
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:51.000
VIBRATION i don't mean to sound like a broken, record
135
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:56.440
but it just keeps coming. Up the first vibrations to
136
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:00.639
exist were from The Big bang. Itself in a, way
137
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:04.120
everything from the alarm you wake up to to the
138
00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:07.279
sound of your wife nagging you to finish raking the
139
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:12.480
leaves is inspired by the cosmic beginning of it. All
140
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.480
i'm just, kidding, JEN i Swear i'll get to it.
141
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.879
Tomorrow whether you are a dyed in the wool believer
142
00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:25.600
or just a casual observer of the strange and, paranormal
143
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:31.600
you can't help but appreciate the poetry of that reality
144
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:37.519
where all just echoes of the greatest event ever. Known,
145
00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:43.320
Woof after all that, PONTIFICATING i THINK i need a,

drink just flat, water my. Friends, Sadly, sadly transportation officials
147
00:12:55.159 --> 00:13:00.159
near a Desolate nevada highway interchange say several traffic cameras
148
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:04.480
captured a, tall human like figure cross the road over
149
00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:08.759
a six hour. Period see, honey me taking a couple
150
00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:13.279
of weeks to bag up some leaves seems pretty fast in, comparison. Right,
151
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:19.159
oddly troopers sent to investigate found no one, there and
152
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.720
the figure does not appear on dash cams from the
153
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:28.120
vehicle's passing at the. Time we actually have an eyewitness

YOURSELF i appreciate you having me. On of, Course i've
160
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:49.440
gone back and forth on WHETHER i should talk about
161
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:52.159
it publicly at, all because once you say something like
162
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:55.639
this out, loud people start fitting you for a tinfoil. Hat,
163
00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:59.360
YEAH i get, that but, YES i saw it myself

00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:03.360
with my eyes on that stretch of, highway not on a,
165
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.639
screen not later on some clip somebody sent. ME i
166
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.039
was there behind the wheel and whatever that thing, was

00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:13.240
it crossed right in front of.
168
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:17.200
Me reports called it human. Like would you say that's
169
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:21.559
fair or has reporting tried to shift the narrative in
170
00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:22.720
a different.
171
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.639
Direction human like is, fair and the same way a
172
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:28.720
mannequin is human, like, okay or something you catch out
173
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:30.679
of the corner of your eye and your brain rushes
174
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.080
into label before it really knows what it's looking. At
175
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.840
H So, NO i don't think that wording is the
176
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.320
media trying to spin it into something more. Sensational if,
177
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:43.240
ANYTHING i think it softens it because IF i say a,
178
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:47.759
person that isn't, right and IF i say a creature
179
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:50.279
that sounds Like i'm trying to sell a monster.
180
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.200
Story right, right WHAT.
181
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:55.360
I saw looked enough like a person to trigger that recognition,
182
00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:58.960
immediately head, shoulders.
183
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:00.559
Arms legs upright.
184
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:04.759
Posture but the longer you, looked the less human it.
185
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:10.480
Felt the proportions were, off the movement was, off and
186
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:14.759
more than anyone, detail there was this absence to, it
187
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:19.039
like it occupied space, visually but not physically the way
188
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:23.879
a living person. Should, so, yes human like is probably
189
00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:26.919
the most honest phrase for. It all, Right But i'll
190
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:29.919
tell you, this if you had seen it, yourself you
191
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:33.159
would not have come away, thinking, oh that was just
192
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:34.159
some guy crossing the.
193
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:37.759
ROAD i hope my journalistic demeanor hasn't made you THINK
194
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:43.120
i don't think this is interesting and. Unnerving was it
195
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:47.000
animal like or more like a? Person?
196
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:50.080
Absolutely more like a? Person, okay it was.
197
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:53.679
Upright the whole, time two, legs two, arms head where
198
00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:56.120
it ought to. Be it wasn't hunched over like an,
199
00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:59.159
animal and it didn't move on all fours or anything like.
200
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:02.240
That if you'd caught just a split second look at,
201
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:04.879
it you'd have said it was a tall man crossing the.
202
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:07.879
Highway but the REASON i can't just leave it at
203
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.080
that is because the closer it got to the center
204
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:14.320
of my, headlights the less natural it. Seemed not, animal,
205
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:17.279
no but not fully comfortably human.
206
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:17.639
Either.
207
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.120
Okay it moved with this eerie kind of. Purpose no,
208
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:26.399
startle no reaction to the, car no little adjustments people
209
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:27.639
make when they realize they're in.
210
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:28.120
Danger.
211
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:34.759
Hmm an animal, darts freezes, bolts a person, flinches shields their,
212
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:39.559
face turns their head. Something this thing just kept, going
213
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:41.879
like the road in my truck meant nothing to.
214
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:42.039
It.
215
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:46.200
Wow so if you're asking me to, choose i'd say person,
216
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:49.000
shaped not person person?
217
00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:53.799
Shaped all, Right, well did you attempt to document.
218
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:53.799
It in the?
219
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:54.159
Moment?
220
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:56.720
No AND i know people always want to ask, that
221
00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:59.360
AND i get. It but when you're driving on a
222
00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:02.039
dark stretch of highway at two in the morning and
223
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:05.039
something steps out in front of your, vehicle your first
224
00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:08.720
instinct is not let me grab my. Phone your first
225
00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:10.839
instinct is don't hit it or don't.
226
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:11.599
Die that's.
227
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:14.119
Fair WHAT i did do was pull over about maybe
228
00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:16.960
a quarter mile. Up ONCE i got myself under, control
229
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:20.440
my hands were shaking so BAD i fumbled my phone
230
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:23.200
the first TIME i tried unlocking. IT i took a
231
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:26.160
few pictures of the road behind, me the, shoulder the
232
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:28.839
area WHERE i THOUGHT i saw it, cross but of
233
00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:32.319
course there was nothing there by, then just black top and.
234
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:35.880
Darkness WHEN i heard there was traffic camera footage from
235
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:39.160
roughly the same, stretch that's when it really turned my blood,
236
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:42.440
cold because then it wasn't just my word against my
237
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:47.440
own nerves. Anymore something was there or at least something showed.
238
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:52.000
Up did you make an attempt to contact authorities about
239
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:54.400
what you'd? Encountered not right.
240
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:58.200
AWAY i pulled over, first tried to calm myself, down
241
00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:01.240
and spent a few minutes argue with myself about what
242
00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:05.160
EXACTLY i would even. Say fair concern there's something on
243
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:08.839
the highway is one. THING i saw something that looked
244
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:10.759
like a person until it didn't is.
245
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:12.559
ANOTHER i knew.
246
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:15.480
How that would, sound but, YES i did call it.
247
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:16.880
IN i kept it.
248
00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:19.880
SIMPLE i Said i'd seen a figure crossing the road
249
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:22.480
on that, stretch that it could be a, hazard that
250
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:25.480
somebody might be out. THERE i did not give them
251
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:28.920
the whole stranger side of it at, first FAIR i
252
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:32.319
just wanted someone to check the. Area the operator asked
253
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:35.880
if it was a, pedestrian AND i remember, HESITATING i
254
00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:39.920
SAID i think, so because that was the closest honest
255
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:43.240
ANSWER i. HAD i gave them my location as BEST i.
256
00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:46.160
Could later, on AFTER i started hearing there may have
257
00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:49.200
been camera footage from near that same, AREA i did
258
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:52.319
speak to someone again and gave a fuller. Account and
259
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:54.880
you can hear the temperature and the conversation change when
260
00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:58.759
you move from possible person on roadway to describing how
261
00:18:58.759 --> 00:18:59.640
it looked and how it.
262
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:01.799
Moved AND i can imagine.
263
00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:03.880
There's this polite silence people get when they're still on
264
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.559
the line with, you but they've already decided they know
265
00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:07.279
what you are.
266
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:11.000
With footage confirmed to have captured something on the. Road
267
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:16.119
did they attempt to offer you any? Explanation not a real.
268
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:16.359
One.
269
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:22.680
No what they offered were, possibilities, reflections compression, artifacts a
270
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:26.839
person outside the camera's effective, depth heat, shimmer even which
271
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:28.839
out there at that hour didn't make.
272
00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:30.039
A lot of sense to, me not at.
273
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.720
All one of them mentioned frame, interpolation like the system
274
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.160
had somehow built a figure out of bad visual. Information
275
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:40.319
that was the closest anyone came to putting a label on.
276
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:40.519
It.
277
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:42.480
Wow but here's the problem with.
278
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:45.880
That those explanations might work if all you had was the.
279
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:48.640
Footage if this were just a weird shape on a
280
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.880
traffic monitor and nobody had seen anything in, person then
281
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:55.200
sure you can start talking about glitches and lensing and
282
00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:59.319
digital ghosts in the. MACHINE i understand, that BUT i
283
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:02.200
was there RIGHT i saw it with my own eyes
284
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:05.359
BEFORE i ever knew there was camera. Footage so when
285
00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:07.440
they start explaining the footage to me as if the
286
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.759
footage is the entire. Event it feels like they're answering
287
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:12.720
a smaller question than the One i'm.
288
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:14.200
Asking trying to control the.
289
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:16.920
Narrative they kept circling back to what the camera may have.
290
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:19.839
CAPTURED i kept trying to bring them back to what
291
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:24.039
was actually on that. Road and the unsettling part was
292
00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:26.720
once they REALIZED i wasn't backing off the fact THAT
293
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:31.440
i saw it, myself the explanations got, vaguer not, clearer less,
294
00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:36.160
technical more like these systems pick up strange things, sometimes
295
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:39.680
which may be, true but that's not an. Explanation, no
296
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:42.480
that's a way of ending the conversation without saying.
297
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:43.519
You don't, know a total.
298
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:47.319
Blowoff so, no nobody gave me an explanation that accounted
299
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:48.160
for both things at.
300
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.559
Once that is so. Bizarre they were almost answering the
301
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:57.079
questions they would prefer you'd, asked rather than listening to,
302
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:01.599
you almost like it was a. Script have you spoken
303
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:06.559
to anyone else that saw the figure or anyone investigating
304
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:09.279
it outside of the very helpful.
305
00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:11.759
AUTHORITIES i have spoken to a couple of other.
306
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.359
People one was another, driver not that same, night but
307
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:17.279
within a day or two of it becoming a local,
308
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:21.000
story he reached out through somebody who knew somebody that
309
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:23.480
kind of. Thing he didn't want his name out there.
310
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:26.720
Either said he saw something tall on the shoulder just
311
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:29.880
past one of the camera, points early, morning still. Dark
312
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:32.839
he told. Me the strangest part wasn't what it looked.
313
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:35.319
Like it was that when his headlights hit, it he
314
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:38.880
expected a. Reaction sounds, familiar but it just stayed, there
315
00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:41.880
almost like it didn't register him at. All the other
316
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.440
person wasn't a witness, exactly more like a county employee
317
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:48.119
who'd heard enough hallway talk to know something odd had.
318
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:52.359
Happened he was careful with his, words never said, yes
319
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:56.440
this is, real never said the footage proves. Anything but
320
00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:58.279
he did tell me there was a lot more interest
321
00:21:58.359 --> 00:22:01.440
in shutting down speculation than you'd expect for a simple camera.
322
00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:04.480
Glitch But i'll tell you what stuck with. ME a
323
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:08.680
woman called, me older, woman very, calm not dramatic at,
324
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:11.240
all said her brother used to drive freight through that
325
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:14.559
area years, ago and he had one. Rule if you
326
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:17.759
ever saw someone crossing out there late at night and
327
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:20.960
they didn't react to your, lights you kept. Driving, oh
328
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:24.359
you did not, stop you did not turn, around you
329
00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:28.319
did not go. LOOKING i asked her, why and she,
330
00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:31.920
said because if it wants to be, seen you're already too.
331
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:38.559
Close that is sincerely. CHILLING i really appreciate you taking
332
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:41.920
the time to share your experience with us here. Tonight
333
00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:46.319
i'd say it's safe to assume you'll be avoiding that
334
00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:49.119
stretch of road for the foreseeable.
335
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:51.079
Future, yeah without.
336
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:53.799
QUESTION i, mean, Look i'm not a superstitious man by.
337
00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:56.880
Nature i've driven lonely roads my whole. Life you see
338
00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.000
strange things out in the desert. Sometimes i've always believed
339
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:02.480
most things have an, explanation even if it takes a
340
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:03.079
while to find.
341
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:04.839
It but that's stretch of.
342
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:10.759
Road no Not. Now maybe that sounds dramatic to some people,
343
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:14.200
listening but there's a difference between being spooked and feeling
344
00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:17.279
in your bones that you were in the presence of
345
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:20.079
something you were never meant to. Notice and that's what
346
00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:23.440
this felt, Like not LIKE i stumbled onto a, Mystery
347
00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:26.680
LIKE i crossed paths with something that had always been,
348
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:31.359
there and for one moment it let me see. It so,
349
00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:35.519
Yes i'll go the long way around happily And i'll
350
00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:37.480
tell you something ELSE i haven't really said out loud
351
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:41.519
before ever since that. Night When i'm driving after dark
352
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:43.799
AND i see somebody standing near the shoulder way up,
353
00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:47.279
AHEAD i get this instant flash of panic before my
354
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:50.920
brain catches up and, says, no that's a, sign or
355
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:54.960
that's a, mailbox or that's. Nothing but after you've seen
356
00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:58.200
one thing that should have been nothing and, wasn't you
357
00:23:58.240 --> 00:23:59.640
don't trust the dark the same way.
358
00:23:59.640 --> 00:23:59.960

world getting up early was. An understatement the show went
390
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:30.240
live at. Six am talent would arrive at five am to,

at three am pulling the, news stories prepping sound effects,
393
00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:45.640
and music the. Whole, shebang now this wasn't. Before computers
394
00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:50.680
i'm not, that old but you couldn't just aggregate news.
395
00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:55.200
Pieces easily you had to scour, the internet and the
396
00:26:55.319 --> 00:27:01.279
connection speed was lacking to say. The least so, one
397
00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:04.839
morning really the middle of the night is far. More
398
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:08.799
accurate i'm on my way to. THE station i lived
399
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:12.960
almost an, hour away, BUT hey i needed a job.
400
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:16.720
In RADIO so i would get in my car coffee
401
00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:21.079
in hand at, two am smile on, my face tan,
402
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:25.839
do attitude and a prior to cups of coffee already
403
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:30.920
coursing through. My veins once my hands, stopped shaking it
404
00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:36.240
was a pretty PEACEFUL drive i learned. To, appreciate however,
405
00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:40.920
one night going up the dark state route In, RURAL
406
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:46.920
iowa i noticed something strange off in. THE distance i
407
00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:51.079
swear it was, a hitchhiker but this was well after
408
00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:56.720
hitchhiking had fallen out. Of fashion some people blame murky
409
00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:00.079
state laws that put it in a gray area. Of,
410
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:05.400
LEGALITY personally i Always Blamed Henry, lee LUCAS but. I
411
00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:10.319
digress it was a particularly groggy drive, for ME so
412
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:14.319
i had my windows down to get some cool air on.
413
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:18.880
My FACE as i drove past this man standing on
414
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:21.599
the side of, THE road i got a. Better look
415
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:27.440
he was Wearing a. Canadian tuxedo for those of you lacking,
416
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:32.920
in culture that is referring to denim on denim jean
417
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:36.720
jacket and a pair. Of jeans seemed a little out,
418
00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:41.319
of style but BACK then i, wore Turtlenecks so i'm
419
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:46.440
not about to judge anyone's. Fashion, SENSE subconsciously i slowed
420
00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:49.759
DOWN as i was gaining up. On him he was,
421
00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:52.599
facing AWAY and i was the ONLY car i had
422
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:56.359
seen on that road in. A while even with my
423
00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:01.880
lights blasting, on him he didn't seem, to notice just.
424
00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:06.839
Standing there JUST as i was about right next, to
425
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:11.640
him he turned suddenly to, face ME and i swear
426
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:15.720
it was like he whipped his. Whole body his eyes
427
00:29:16.119 --> 00:29:19.319
snapped to mine like, a MAGNET and i could feel the.
428
00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:23.000
Eye contact he raised his hand up at that exact
429
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:28.119
moment and opened his mouth wide like he was screaming his.
430
00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:32.359
HEAD off i didn't get the sense he was scared
431
00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:36.039
or desperate from being stranded on the side of. The
432
00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:41.400
road it was it was something else. More PRIMAL as
433
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:45.880
i kept driving in silence thinking ABOUT what i, HAD
434
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:51.240
seen i couldn't shake that feeling of him staring right.
435
00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:55.000
At me after a minute, OR two i decided to
436
00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:58.960
roll up. MY window, i mean he can't be, too.
437
00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:03.880
CAREFUL right i rolled up my driver's. Side, FIRST no
438
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:07.839
i didn't use a hand, crank again not that. Old
439
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:12.160
jeez as the window, WENT up i could hear the
440
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:17.200
wind whistle and stop in my. Left EAR as i
441
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:21.039
rolled up the passenger, SIDE window i moved my eyes
442
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:25.559
back to, the road and then out of the corner of,
443
00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:30.960
MY eye I swear i saw a hand going straight for.
444
00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:35.519
MY face i swerved the. Wheel slightly thankfully the road was.
445
00:30:35.559 --> 00:30:41.119
Still EMPTY as i regained my composure and managed to
446
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:44.720
look around, the car all that stood out Was My
447
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:50.000
jolly roger air freshener hanging from the rear. View mirror
448
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:55.079
it was jostling in the slight breeze coming from the
449
00:30:55.160 --> 00:31:00.720
WINDOW that i hadn't. QUITE closed i convinced myself that
450
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:04.720
it was my tired eyes playing tricks. ON me i
451
00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:09.000
shouldn't drive. So tired, of course by THAT point i
452
00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:12.880
had never been so awake in. MY life i headed
453
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:16.079
the rest of the way to, the station wide eyed.
454
00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:20.880
And sweating from that NIGHT on i always got a
455
00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:25.640
full eight hours before heading to, the station no, Matter
456
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.359
what AND whenever i drove that road at night heading,
457
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:34.680
INTO work i would keep my windows rolled up and
458
00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:40.039
my eyes on. The road so that's, my story? What's

you described, BUT you know i pretty much live. On
473
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:28.799
the road i've been finding myself more and more creeked.
474
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:31.559
Out sounds? Juicy do.
475
00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:34.559
Explain you know a, FEW weeks ago i was making
476
00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:39.079
A run From georgia TO manitoba and i stopped at
477
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:41.599
a truck Stop outside of lexington to gas up and.
478
00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:45.000
Grab a BIKE and while i. WAS settling up i
479
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:49.720
noticed the cashiers just, kind of.
480
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:53.599
Off like looked. Strange or no he.
481
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:57.359
Looked totally normal like the, definition of. Average you know
482
00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:00.720
but the only thing that stuck out about him is
483
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:02.680
he seemed to be incapable of.
484
00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:06.400
Making. SMALL talk, hmmm i, mean you know it's, LATE.
485
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:06.920
At night i was.
486
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:08.960
FEEDING the restless i just wanted to chit chat. FOR
487
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:12.319
a second i asked him how long, he'd worked here
488
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:14.519
and he just he just. Stared at me but.
489
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:17.160
He did manage to cast, You, out, right.
490
00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:19.799
Yeah yeah yeah he ASKED me if i found, everything
491
00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:22.799
ALL right AND i, said i had and.
492
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:24.599
He said good and He asked if i'd had.
493
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:26.359
A good night i said it was, a long one
494
00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:28.640
and he just he just looked at me and he
495
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:30.960
went back to work. On the register it is ODD
496
00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:34.920
and when i started with, a small talk he just stared,
497
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:37.680
at me, again you, know all blank like the.
498
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:42.160
Gen z stare i've, Seen that before like they've never
499
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:47.039
talked Outside of a. Zoom, MEETING room yeah i, Thought.
500
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:49.200
That too and he, was pretty young, AND you know
501
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:51.519
i chalked it up to awkwardness and never really thought.
502
00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:54.559
About it more BUT then after i dropped My.
503
00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:58.319

In.
557
00:37:05.039 --> 00:37:08.679
Grand island welcome mine was out on a county road,
558
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:11.760
north of town maybe. FOUR years ago i was driving
559
00:37:11.800 --> 00:37:14.039
back from, my sister's PLACE later than, i meant to
560
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:18.079
and there was this pick up behind, me for, miles not,
561
00:37:18.239 --> 00:37:23.039
tailgating not passing just staying the exact same distance back
562
00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:27.280
and on an. Empty dark road, after a while that
563
00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:31.239
starts to get, under, Your SKIN agreed so i sped.
564
00:37:31.320 --> 00:37:35.039
Up a little it, stayed with me slowed, down a.
565
00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:39.239
LITTLE same distance, I, remember thinking.
566
00:37:39.800 --> 00:37:41.440
Okay this is.
567
00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:43.519
How people disappear.
568
00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:45.719
I've had that thought cross my mind. A FEW times
569
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:46.440
then i.
570
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:48.480
Came up on a turn off and took it, kind
571
00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:50.199
of sudden just to lose.
572
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:50.599
Whoever.
573
00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:58.719
It was randal there was no truck, behind me, anymore no, headlights, no.
574
00:37:58.880 --> 00:38:01.440
Engine noise nothing.
575
00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:04.280
Did you manage to get a peek at the driver
576
00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:08.039
at any point, in, this, encounter no.
577
00:38:08.199 --> 00:38:11.599
Sir not once that was part of what made. IT
578
00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:15.519
so unnerving i could see the headlights, plain as day
579
00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:18.760
but they sat just right where the glare kept me
580
00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:22.800
from making out anything, in the, cab no, face, no
581
00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:29.360
SHAPE nothing and i did look. More than once by the,
582
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:32.199
END of it i was less scared of who the
583
00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:35.880
DRIVER was than i was of the idea there might not.
584
00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:39.400
Have been one as a, WOMAN traveling alone i can
585
00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:43.880
imagine it feeling like a. Like a nightmare you're sure
586
00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:48.119
he didn't manage to turn off before you. LOOK back,
587
00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:49.199
AGAIN i.
588
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:51.320
Mean i can't swear to it in a, court OF
589
00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:55.679
law but i. Don't think SO that's what i, told myself,
590
00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:59.679
later of course that maybe there was a field ENTRENCE or,
591
00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:03.840
As i missed but it was flat out there randall
592
00:39:04.639 --> 00:39:07.960
OPEN enough that I feel like i should have seen headlights.
593
00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:12.679
Swing off somewhere what bothered me was how. Instant it
594
00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:16.760
was one second those, lights were there, steady behind me
595
00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:18.880
and THE next time i checked.
596
00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:23.400
Just black road worried that he was following you and
597
00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:25.639
now he's in, waiting.
598
00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:29.599
Or something not that a truck, was following me that
599
00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:34.079
it seemed to stop, existing between glances almost.
600
00:39:33.800 --> 00:39:36.360
Like it had taken an exit back to. Its own
601
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:41.400
dimension maybe he realized he was. Late For supper thanks denise.
602
00:39:41.440 --> 00:39:45.639
For your call. Appreciate you caller you're. On, the, Air,
603
00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:46.719

604
00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:47.800
Randall this Is Cal.
605
00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:50.800
AND north plaid i used to do, some Nighttime hauling
606
00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:53.800
and i'll tell you the worst roads are the ones
607
00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:57.079
where there's nothing out there but fields in, your own
608
00:39:57.199 --> 00:40:01.119
headlights your minds starts filling in.
609
00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:03.719
The blanks as minds are. Wont to, DO.
610
00:40:04.519 --> 00:40:07.280
One night i was coming down a Gravel road outside
611
00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:11.280
brady and kept seeing what looked like somebody walking along,
612
00:40:11.320 --> 00:40:15.679
the fence line staying just. Ahead of ME every time,
613
00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:20.239
i got close there'd. Be nothing there then a little
614
00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:21.639
farther up there.
615
00:40:21.679 --> 00:40:22.360
It was again.
616
00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:28.239
Happened THREE times finally i stopped the truck and got out,
617
00:40:28.239 --> 00:40:31.159
with a FLASHLIGHT and all i could hear was the
618
00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:35.679
wind and those. Fence wires humming never found a, soul
619
00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:38.480
out there got back in the cab and drove home
620
00:40:38.599 --> 00:40:39.840
a whole Lot faster.
621
00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:41.280
Than i'd planned.
622
00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:45.239
Don't take this, the WRONG way but, i gotta ask
623
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:48.440
what on earth made you want to get out and?
624
00:40:48.679 --> 00:40:50.840
Look for him part stupidity.
625
00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:55.239
And Part pride if, I'm being honest after, THE third
626
00:40:55.280 --> 00:40:59.280
time i got more. Annoyed than scared you start thinking
627
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:03.679
either somebody's messing With me or i'm letting a row
628
00:41:03.719 --> 00:41:07.480
of fence posts make a fool, out OF me and
629
00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:10.679
i think there's something in a man that hates being
630
00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:11.519
scared by.
631
00:41:11.519 --> 00:41:11.960
His own.
632
00:41:12.079 --> 00:41:14.679
Headlights relatable content.
633
00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:18.480
AS soon as, i, stepped out though that confidence went missing.
634
00:41:18.519 --> 00:41:21.880
In a hurry old road fell different with, the engine
635
00:41:21.880 --> 00:41:27.000
off too quiet except for those wires singing.
636
00:41:27.039 --> 00:41:31.039
In the dark was it at least playing, A, familiar, tune.
637
00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:35.519
No sir, just that high lonesome hum fence wire gets
638
00:41:35.960 --> 00:41:36.239
when the.
639
00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:40.880
Wind. Hits It right but i'll, tell you this when
640
00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:41.960
you're standing.
641
00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:44.920
Out there, alone at night it doesn't have to be
642
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:48.840
a melody to get. Under your skin it just has
643
00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:53.360
to sound almost human enough that you start listening harder than.
644
00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:57.960
You ought to mysterious hitchhikers standing on the side of
645
00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:01.760
the road. With a flashlight that is the kind of
646
00:42:01.840 --> 00:42:07.159

Hasting welcome SIR creepiest thing.
652
00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:25.400
I ever had was driving home on a farm road
653
00:42:25.480 --> 00:42:28.760
after midnight and seeing a porch light way out, in
654
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:32.599
the distance just sitting, there by itself no. HOUSE around
655
00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:35.760
it i could make out just that. ONE yellow light
656
00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:38.280
i used it to keep my bearings for. A FEW
657
00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:41.039
miles then i came over a hill and it was
658
00:42:41.079 --> 00:42:44.400
suddenly right there, on my left hanging from a post
659
00:42:44.440 --> 00:42:48.000
in the middle of. An empty, field no, house no,
660
00:42:48.199 --> 00:42:52.400
driveway no barn just a lit porch lamp with maths
661
00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:55.719
around it and nothing under. IT but dirt i did
662
00:42:55.760 --> 00:42:59.800
not stop to investigate that Particular piece of. Nebraska real estate.
663
00:43:00.599 --> 00:43:04.400
Was there at least. An old foundation maybe someone had
664
00:43:04.480 --> 00:43:07.719
torn down a structure and left the light, for the
665
00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:09.079
REBUILD not that i.
666
00:43:09.119 --> 00:43:13.079
Could, see RANDALL now granted i wasn't exactly conducting a.
667
00:43:13.159 --> 00:43:16.719
SURVEY out there, i slowed down leaned over the wheel.
668
00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:19.920
And LOOKED hard but i didn't, see any slab no,
669
00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:23.840
pile of lumber, no driveway gravel nothing that said a
670
00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:27.079
house had, ever stood there just that light burning like.
671
00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:32.679
It Expected company oof and maybe there was, a sensible
672
00:43:32.760 --> 00:43:35.280
explanation but it was one of those sites that.
673
00:43:35.280 --> 00:43:37.199
Feels wrong faster than your brain.
674
00:43:37.239 --> 00:43:38.639
Can EXPLAIN it so.
675
00:43:38.760 --> 00:43:40.039
I kept driving.
676
00:43:39.960 --> 00:43:44.599
That's the thing. About dark roads when, things get eerie
677
00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:47.599
you put the pedal to the metal and gun it
678
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:52.760

682
00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:04.079
WADE in holdridge i was coming back from visiting My,
683
00:44:04.119 --> 00:44:07.199
brother outside alma taking the BACK roads because i don't
684
00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:09.400
much care for interstate. Driving at night.
685
00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:11.559
At this point, in the show who. Could blame you.
686
00:44:11.719 --> 00:44:13.559
Must have been a little after one o'clock, in the,
687
00:44:13.599 --> 00:44:17.559
morning real, clear real cold one of those nights where
688
00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:20.360
you can see forever and still feel. LIKE you shouldn't
689
00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:22.840
i came over a rise and caught something on the
690
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:25.880
right side, of the road crouched. In the DITCH at
691
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:29.760
first i took it. For a deer then. It stood
692
00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:33.159
up oh too tall for a man to be, comfortable
693
00:44:33.159 --> 00:44:36.159
looking at and too LEAN for anything i know. How to,
694
00:44:36.280 --> 00:44:41.880
name long, arms narrow shoulders head kind of tipped forward like.
695
00:44:41.920 --> 00:44:47.320
It was listening, it didn't, run didn't spook just turned
696
00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:50.440

00:44:53.079 --> 00:44:56.719
Not look back how tall are? We talking here.
699
00:44:56.719 --> 00:44:58.880
Taller than a man ought to be standing in a
700
00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:02.519
ditch and he'll look higher than the road seven feet,
701
00:45:02.599 --> 00:45:06.960
maybe maybe more but that's with fear doing. Some MEASURING
702
00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:10.519
too what i know is when, it rose up it
703
00:45:10.599 --> 00:45:13.960
did it in, one smooth motion and my brain quit
704
00:45:14.039 --> 00:45:15.599
trying to make it. Into, A deer.

the road whether driving a big rig like, many of you,
718
00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:22.639
faithful listeners do, strange pit stops trips you've made a
719
00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:28.679
million times that take more than, a wrong turn and even, hotels,
720
00:46:28.760 --> 00:46:33.679
and motels which, BY the way i swear most are haunted.
721
00:46:33.719 --> 00:46:38.920
In some way but, that's. Just me caller you are
722
00:46:39.079 --> 00:46:40.800

In, The, void hello Randall this is.
724
00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:44.840
Evan and McCook.
725
00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:46.639
Thanks for calling i've had.
726
00:46:46.559 --> 00:46:49.960
An uncomfortable experience repeat itself at truck stops, in different
727
00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:52.960
places and after a while it stopped. Feeling like.
728
00:46:53.039 --> 00:46:55.679
Coincidence i'm intrigued.
729
00:46:55.880 --> 00:46:59.519
The first Time, was outside lexington just a tired man
730
00:46:59.559 --> 00:47:02.360
at the, count buying coffee looking at me a. Little
731
00:47:02.360 --> 00:47:07.119
too long not like he, knew me exactly more like he.
732
00:47:07.239 --> 00:47:10.000
Was trying to HE asked if i was. From, around
733
00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:14.039
there okay nothing wrong with that, on its face but
734
00:47:14.119 --> 00:47:16.519
there was something in the way he asked it that put,
735
00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:20.239
me on edge like the question mattered more to him than.
736
00:47:20.239 --> 00:47:23.360
It should HAVE and then i saw him again, at another,
737
00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:29.039
stop different place, entirely different, weather same man, same searching
738
00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:34.880
look same little hesitation, before he spoke and again the
739
00:47:35.039 --> 00:47:38.280
questions HOW long had? I worked there had?
740
00:47:38.320 --> 00:47:38.360
We?
741
00:47:38.519 --> 00:47:43.880
Met before well, By, THAT point randall i started to
742
00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:47.000
feel like this man wasn't recognizing me so much as
743
00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:50.440
trying to make me confirm. Something for HIM and, when
744
00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:54.199
I didn't when i just kept, the interaction normal he
745
00:47:54.239 --> 00:47:57.400
looked AT me like i was the one. Making it strange.
746
00:47:57.440 --> 00:48:02.480
Well that that would BE unsaid but i. Have to
747
00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:06.440
ask you said you saw him, At another stop so
748
00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:09.760
do you work at? Multiple?
749
00:48:09.880 --> 00:48:15.119
Truck stops yes or near enough to yes that most
750
00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:20.320
people would not bother. SEPARATING the two i AM assigned where.
751
00:48:20.360 --> 00:48:23.760
I am needed that is the practical way. To, put
752
00:48:23.760 --> 00:48:28.440
it okay some locations are more, temporary than others some
753
00:48:28.559 --> 00:48:32.119
ARE familiar. Before i arrived it is not unusual for
754
00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:35.199
me to be in one place and then another and
755
00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:40.119
have the work feel. Essentially, the same okay realize that. May,
756
00:48:40.199 --> 00:48:43.320
SOUND evasive yeah i do not mean. IT that way
757
00:48:44.159 --> 00:48:46.679
i only mean that he seemed much more troubled by
758
00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:49.320
SEEING me where i was supposed TO be than i
759
00:48:49.519 --> 00:48:51.400
was by seeing him where.
760
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:57.280
He was not so you're. A traveling cashier I can't
761
00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:01.159
say i've ever really heard of. That one before you understand.
762
00:49:01.199 --> 00:49:05.480
How that sounds cashier is close enough. For most purposes
763
00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:10.039
the work is, not always identical but, is, public facing
764
00:49:10.440 --> 00:49:14.880
transactional and usually. Done at night that is the simplest way.
765
00:49:14.920 --> 00:49:18.280
To describe it and, TO be fair i had not heard,
766
00:49:18.320 --> 00:49:24.159
of him either and yet there. He was repeatedly so
767
00:49:24.280 --> 00:49:26.679
perhaps we both encountered something a little outside.
768
00:49:26.719 --> 00:49:32.000
The usual categories, so you're saying this odd customer. Was
769
00:49:32.920 --> 00:49:36.920
following you is it that unusual to see the same
770
00:49:37.039 --> 00:49:41.000
folks that the truck stops? You work at, Not, At.
771
00:49:40.840 --> 00:49:45.239
First no but you see the same, types of, people similar.
772
00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:51.239
Faces similar habits the road, has its regulars even when
773
00:49:51.239 --> 00:49:52.480
they are not regular in.
774
00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:52.599
The.
775
00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:57.199
Traditional sense okay what made this feel different WAS not
776
00:49:57.280 --> 00:50:00.079
that i saw him. More than once it was the
777
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:02.920
the way he looked at, me each time as though
778
00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:06.159
each encounter was carrying over from the last one IN
779
00:50:06.199 --> 00:50:10.039
a way i had. Not agreed to most repeat customers,
780
00:50:10.119 --> 00:50:14.559
recognize you casually, if at, all a nod, a little
781
00:50:14.559 --> 00:50:19.960
familiarity maybe a. Joke about coffee this man looked at
782
00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:23.360
me like he WAS checking whether i had CHANGED and
783
00:50:23.400 --> 00:50:26.559
when i had not or had not in the. Way
784
00:50:26.599 --> 00:50:28.719
he wanted that seemed.
785
00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:33.880
To disturb him i'm still trying to wrap my mind around.
786
00:50:33.920 --> 00:50:37.440
This whole thing what exactly did he? Say to you
787
00:50:38.039 --> 00:50:42.119
were these truck stops in, The, same area.
788
00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:46.320
No that was. Part of it not, the same area
789
00:50:47.440 --> 00:50:50.119
far enough apart that the second time should have felt
790
00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:54.639
incidental and the third time should. Have felt wrong what
791
00:50:54.760 --> 00:50:58.440
he said. Was never dramatic that is almost what. Made,
792
00:50:58.519 --> 00:51:03.480
it worse okay ordinary questions asked with too much. Weight
793
00:51:03.559 --> 00:51:07.639
behind them HE asked whether i had, always WORKED nights
794
00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:11.360
whether i was. From around there once he asked very
795
00:51:11.400 --> 00:51:15.280
directly if we, had, Met before right and there was
796
00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:19.360
another question he asked, more than once though not in exactly.
797
00:51:19.440 --> 00:51:23.400
The same words he wanted to KNOW how long i,
798
00:51:23.440 --> 00:51:28.920
had been, there not employed not scheduled there as though
799
00:51:28.920 --> 00:51:31.079
he was not asking, about a shift but.
800
00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:37.039
About, my presence okay and what were your answers? TO his,
801
00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:42.320
questions i mean you, had met before as, YOU just mentioned.
802
00:51:42.559 --> 00:51:45.800
I answered AS plainly. As i could, THE first time
803
00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:49.760
i told him, whatever was sufficient the kind of answer
804
00:51:49.760 --> 00:51:53.960
that closes a conversation instead. Of opening, one after that
805
00:51:54.880 --> 00:51:59.960
less and, Less, and yes randall that, is the. Difficult
806
00:52:00.199 --> 00:52:04.320
isn't it by, the later encounters we had, Technically met
807
00:52:04.360 --> 00:52:07.679
before but that was not what he meant. When he
808
00:52:07.719 --> 00:52:11.679
asked he was asking as if there were supposed to
809
00:52:11.719 --> 00:52:18.079
be a deeper, continuity between, us something, recognized something CONFIRMED
810
00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:22.719
as if, i, should say, yes of course. IT'S still
811
00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:26.320
me i did not see any reason to reassure.
812
00:52:26.360 --> 00:52:29.800
HIM of that i hate to, be that guy but
813
00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:35.280
you are being very evasive. With my questions and it
814
00:52:35.400 --> 00:52:39.360
sounds like you were evasive towards this man due to his.
815
00:52:40.920 --> 00:52:47.079
Tone or vibe do you think maybe this could play? Into?
816
00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:53.159
His, REACTION possibly yes i, Have considered that but there
817
00:52:53.239 --> 00:52:57.800
is a difference between being reserved. AND provoking alarm i
818
00:52:57.880 --> 00:53:01.760
was not hostile to. HIM threaten him i did not
819
00:53:01.920 --> 00:53:04.639
raise my voice. OR refuse service i simply did not
820
00:53:04.800 --> 00:53:08.039
participate in the level of familiarity he seemed to.
821
00:53:08.079 --> 00:53:12.880
Want, from me okay but what? Does that mean, he
822
00:53:13.000 --> 00:53:15.760
asked you if you, had met before what did you.
823
00:53:15.840 --> 00:53:19.639
SAY to, that i mean that's a, pretty STRAIGHTFORWARD question.
824
00:53:19.719 --> 00:53:23.360
AND i said i, don't believe so which was the
825
00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:26.400
most accurate answer available to me, at the time because
826
00:53:26.400 --> 00:53:29.559
what he seemed to be asking was not have? Our
827
00:53:29.599 --> 00:53:33.800
paths crossed it, was more like are you? The same
828
00:53:33.840 --> 00:53:37.639
one and that is not a question most people know
829
00:53:38.119 --> 00:53:39.480
how to answer politely at.
830
00:53:39.519 --> 00:53:42.400
A cash register so, You, MISLED him.
831
00:53:42.599 --> 00:53:46.679
No i do. NOT think SO i think i answered
832
00:53:46.679 --> 00:53:50.400
the human version of the. Question he asked if a
833
00:53:50.480 --> 00:53:53.760
man wants to know whether you, remember his face that.
834
00:53:53.920 --> 00:53:56.519
Is one thing if he wants to know whether you
835
00:53:56.639 --> 00:54:00.400
persist from place to place in, the same form that is. A.
836
00:54:00.440 --> 00:54:05.440
Different question entirely he asked you a pretty direct question by.
837
00:54:05.480 --> 00:54:09.079
Your own description don't you think saying you had never
838
00:54:09.199 --> 00:54:14.440
met before when you had would just? Increase his confusion, it's,
839
00:54:15.039 --> 00:54:17.000
CERTAINLY increasing mind.
840
00:54:17.119 --> 00:54:20.679
I, can understand that but confusion. Was, ALREADY present yeah
841
00:54:21.000 --> 00:54:23.880
i did. NOT create it i only declined to organize.
842
00:54:23.880 --> 00:54:27.119
It, for him okay you're. KILLING me here i can't
843
00:54:27.159 --> 00:54:31.000
figure out. What that means my producer is telling me to.
844
00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:35.320
Cut you off but, Lucky for you i'm. A nice
845
00:54:35.360 --> 00:54:40.679
guy i'll give you, one more chance as. Succinctly as
846
00:54:40.880 --> 00:54:45.880
possible what do you do for a living and why
847
00:54:45.920 --> 00:54:52.719
did you mislead this. SUPPOSEDLY odd customer i work nights.
848
00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:57.079
In customer service that doesn't. ANSWER the question.
849
00:54:57.280 --> 00:55:00.679
I sell people what they came. In to buy that.
850
00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:03.320
Is THE job and i did not answer him the
851
00:55:03.320 --> 00:55:06.320
way he wanted because his question was not really, about
852
00:55:06.360 --> 00:55:09.639
the sale, or the store or even whether we had.
853
00:55:09.639 --> 00:55:12.159
Crossed paths before so you're.
854
00:55:12.199 --> 00:55:17.159
A traveling cashier the average cashier makes like thirteen. Bucks
855
00:55:17.239 --> 00:55:20.800
an hour that level of a skilled labor validates some
856
00:55:20.880 --> 00:55:24.360
kind of a. Travel, expense account huh, room and. Board
857
00:55:24.639 --> 00:55:27.920
per diem it sounds to me like you just don't
858
00:55:27.960 --> 00:55:30.360
know how to. Communicate at all.
859
00:55:30.599 --> 00:55:35.079
That, is possible randall but poor communication does not usually
860
00:55:35.119 --> 00:55:37.760
cause the same man to look at you in three
861
00:55:37.760 --> 00:55:41.480
different states as though you have. Failed a, TEST and
862
00:55:41.559 --> 00:55:45.440
no i would not describe myself as. A traveling cashier
863
00:55:46.800 --> 00:55:48.800
that seems to bother you more than. It bothers me.
864
00:55:49.159 --> 00:55:53.800
It bothers me because it doesn't make any sense sending
865
00:55:53.920 --> 00:55:58.880
someone across three states to dispense. COFFEE and snacks i
866
00:55:58.920 --> 00:56:01.119
am trying to get give you the benefit, of the
867
00:56:01.199 --> 00:56:08.280
doubt And right now i'm. Really regretting it i'll try
868
00:56:08.320 --> 00:56:14.480
to make it as. Simple, as possible okay what does
869
00:56:14.519 --> 00:56:19.639
it say on? Your business card? What's the title you
870
00:56:19.719 --> 00:56:23.239
must have one to identify yourself to co workers when
871
00:56:23.239 --> 00:56:27.079
you show up, to, work shifts right especially if they've never,
872
00:56:27.119 --> 00:56:28.559
met you before, because you know it's a.
873
00:56:28.559 --> 00:56:31.760
WHOLE new state i do not, carry business, cards of
874
00:56:31.800 --> 00:56:34.920
course and titles are less useful than you're. Making them
875
00:56:34.960 --> 00:56:39.199
sound but if it, would help you the closest term would.
876
00:56:39.239 --> 00:56:42.920
Probably be attended that is what most people seem to need,
877
00:56:42.960 --> 00:56:44.239
me to be need?
878
00:56:44.280 --> 00:56:47.239
You, to be yeah that would go over great. With,
879
00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:50.400
my boss oh you need me to, host A show
880
00:56:50.480 --> 00:56:53.400
but i am not. A, radio host yes.
881
00:56:54.000 --> 00:56:57.320
That is, A. Reasonable, comparison randall oh except your listeners
882
00:56:57.360 --> 00:56:59.480
would notice if someone else sat in your chair and
883
00:56:59.519 --> 00:57:03.280
failed to. Sound like you in my, line of work
884
00:57:03.599 --> 00:57:07.239
people usually do not. Listen that closely they want coffee
885
00:57:07.719 --> 00:57:12.159
fuel change FROM a. Twenty a receipt the role matters
886
00:57:12.199 --> 00:57:13.079
more to them than the.
887
00:57:13.079 --> 00:57:16.920
Person in it except it didn't in the case of
888
00:57:17.000 --> 00:57:19.920
the Customer. YOU gaslet no.
889
00:57:20.880 --> 00:57:23.519
I think he arrived already unwilling to accept what was in.
890
00:57:23.559 --> 00:57:27.639
Front OF him all i did was refused to help
891
00:57:27.679 --> 00:57:30.119
him turn that. DISCOMFORT into certainty.
892
00:57:30.079 --> 00:57:34.280
I recommend you turn that discomfort into A. Prescription, for,
893
00:57:34.480 --> 00:57:40.280
Zoloft goodbye caller sorry for putting my expectation in you
894
00:57:40.440 --> 00:57:48.239
answering a. Simple, single question, well my FRIENDS my producer

00:57:48.320 --> 00:57:52.280
boyd tried to, reel me in but apparently my blood
896
00:57:52.320 --> 00:57:55.800
pressure got the. Best of me if that was, a
897
00:57:56.000 --> 00:58:00.679
prank caller he definitely has a master's. Degree in troll
898

906
00:58:39.199 --> 00:58:42.719
producer boyd is showing me a caller from all The.
907
00:58:42.760 --> 00:58:46.360
Way in norway that is a first. For us here
908
00:58:46.519 --> 00:58:49.960
not sure if it's the clear night or maybe someone
909
00:58:50.079 --> 00:58:57.119
sharing our, stream online again which we can't legally. Recommend,
910
00:58:57.159 --> 00:59:01.440
you do caller you are laws in The Void. With

00:59:01.599 --> 00:59:02.840
randall burr? How?
912
00:59:02.880 --> 00:59:06.760
Are, You, yes hello Randal this.
913
00:59:07.000 --> 00:59:10.760
IS mikael intromsu i do not mean, to DISAPPOINT you
914
00:59:10.840 --> 00:59:14.360
but i think your last collar may have been less supernatural.
915
00:59:14.440 --> 00:59:20.480
Than socially incompatible he sounded to me like a man
916
00:59:20.559 --> 00:59:24.760
with a very rigid way. Of describing things some people work,
917
00:59:24.880 --> 00:59:28.320
nights too long speak to, too few others and after
918
00:59:28.360 --> 00:59:31.119
a while they stop arranging their thoughts in the order.
919
00:59:31.280 --> 00:59:37.400
Everyone else expects it does not, make them. Sinister only difficult.
920
00:59:37.280 --> 00:59:42.119
Leave it to norwegians to. Bring the pragmatism so what
921
00:59:42.400 --> 00:59:44.159
strange experience do you?
922
00:59:44.239 --> 00:59:47.239
Want to share it was near a frozen lake, outside
923
00:59:47.239 --> 00:59:53.519
the city not terribly remote, by our standards though perhaps remote.
924
00:59:53.639 --> 00:59:57.880
ENOUGH by yours i was walking AFTER midnight and i
925
00:59:58.000 --> 01:00:01.840
noticed a blue light. Beneath the EYES at first i
926
01:00:01.880 --> 01:00:05.079
thought it, was a reflection or perhaps a. Trick of
927
01:00:05.159 --> 01:00:10.840
depth but it kept, pace with, me not. Quickly not
928
01:00:10.960 --> 01:00:15.360
dramatically it SIMPLY adjusted, when i adjusted as though it
929
01:00:15.400 --> 01:00:18.199
had decided that my shoreline was the correct. ONE to follow,
930
01:00:19.159 --> 01:00:23.679
i stopped walking and, after a. Moment stopped also that
931
01:00:23.960 --> 01:00:26.320
was when it became difficult to continue believing it was.
932
01:00:26.360 --> 01:00:31.280
A natural thing you said it, moved too smoothly or
933
01:00:31.559 --> 01:00:36.639
was something else about? It particularly unnatural if it.
934
01:00:36.599 --> 01:00:40.199
Had, drifted or flashed or moved on some course, OF
935
01:00:40.239 --> 01:00:43.000
its OWN i think i would have accepted. It more
936
01:00:43.039 --> 01:00:48.920
easily but it seemed to respond to ME specifically, when i.
937
01:00:49.039 --> 01:00:52.920
Slowed IT slowed, when i. Stopped it stopped that is
938
01:00:52.960 --> 01:00:54.760
a very unpleasant quality.
939
01:00:54.840 --> 01:00:58.599
In a light, Pardon, my ignorance uh this time of
940
01:00:58.719 --> 01:01:03.559
year is still, light. After midnight right could it perhaps
941
01:01:03.639 --> 01:01:07.880
have been an odd reflection that simply followed you because.
942
01:01:08.000 --> 01:01:10.320
Your perspective changed.
943
01:01:10.239 --> 01:01:13.960
That would be. A, Sensible explanation yes and if it
944
01:01:14.000 --> 01:01:17.159
had only tracked, WITH my ANGLE i think i would
945
01:01:17.199 --> 01:01:20.039
have accepted it and gone. Home less interested but there was.
946
01:01:20.079 --> 01:01:25.920
No midnight sun then, it was. Dark properly dark the
947
01:01:26.000 --> 01:01:28.239
eyes held a light under it instead of. Giving it
948
01:01:28.320 --> 01:01:33.079
back and what bothered me was not that it seemed to.
949
01:01:33.159 --> 01:01:36.519
Remain in view it was that it seemed TO wait.
950
01:01:36.639 --> 01:01:41.000
WHEN i did a, reflection does not, in my. Experience
951
01:01:41.079 --> 01:01:42.679
become patient that.
952
01:01:42.760 --> 01:01:46.920
Is perhaps something reflection and myself. Have in common then
953
01:01:48.639 --> 01:01:52.119
has this kind of thing been reported? OUT there before
954
01:01:52.719 --> 01:01:56.079
I feel like i've heard. About, this before.
955
01:01:56.400 --> 01:02:00.159
Yes people say. It has not in a way the,
956
01:02:00.199 --> 01:02:04.280
authorities enjoy. Discussing of course but if you, ask quietly
957
01:02:04.400 --> 01:02:08.679
enough especially, among older fishermen you will hear that the lights.
958
01:02:08.760 --> 01:02:12.559
Are not new they say the lights do not, appear
959
01:02:12.679 --> 01:02:17.440
for everyone and they say when, they do appear it
960
01:02:17.519 --> 01:02:19.519
is best not to let them keep your pace.
961
01:02:19.559 --> 01:02:23.239
For too, long sounds ominous.
962
01:02:23.360 --> 01:02:26.000
That is because it is usually followed by a. More ominous,
963
01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:29.800
sentence they say if the light keeps pace with, you
964
01:02:29.960 --> 01:02:32.559
long enough it is no longer following.
965
01:02:33.159 --> 01:02:37.400
It's. Begun, leading yikes well thank you for sharing your,
966
01:02:37.440 --> 01:02:40.360
story With us and i'm so happy to have you
967
01:02:40.519 --> 01:02:43.039
listening all the way on the other side.
968
01:02:43.039 --> 01:02:47.880
OF the world i am, happy TO listen though i admit,
969
01:02:48.480 --> 01:02:51.639
AFTER that night i have become a little more SELECTIVE
970
01:02:51.679 --> 01:02:53.679
about what i choose to.
971
01:02:53.639 --> 01:02:58.280
Follow wise Words from the Land Of. The midnight sun
972
01:02:59.159 --> 01:03:02.880
looks like Our old pal pete is. On the horn you're, on,
973
01:03:02.960 --> 01:03:05.920
The air pal did you forget something you wanted to
974
01:03:05.960 --> 01:03:09.760
share about your? Strange, road ENCOUNTERS.
975
01:03:09.800 --> 01:03:15.079
Yeah but i give you A call because, i'm having,
976
01:03:15.199 --> 01:03:16.559
like you, know deja vu.
977
01:03:16.719 --> 01:03:20.679
But it's worse huh is there a? Word for that.
978
01:03:21.360 --> 01:03:24.519
I'm not sure the friendship figured out the nomenclature for,
979
01:03:24.559 --> 01:03:30.440
that one, yet but uh? What's? GOING on yeah i.
980
01:03:30.400 --> 01:03:34.079
Start to gas up and, use the FACILITIES and well
981
01:03:34.079 --> 01:03:38.400
i noticed that. SAME damn cashier i swear, it was,
982
01:03:38.519 --> 01:03:41.719
him just, now same.
983
01:03:41.480 --> 01:03:43.960
Guy, the, one who yeah.
984
01:03:43.920 --> 01:03:48.559
Just just never, really answered me. Just blank stairs he'd
985
01:03:48.599 --> 01:03:50.000
been in five STATES now that.
986
01:03:50.119 --> 01:03:54.440
I know of you're not riffing off that caller, before
987
01:03:54.480 --> 01:03:57.800
the break the one who got? My blood up? Are,

LAST twenty minutes i was filling MY tank and i
991
01:04:04.320 --> 01:04:07.599
went in to hit the head. And CAFFEINE up when
992
01:04:07.599 --> 01:04:10.559
i saw that dead eyed. FACE watching me i tailed.
993
01:04:10.559 --> 01:04:15.440
It out there no confrontation. On, This, occasion then no it.
994
01:04:15.559 --> 01:04:19.159
WAS too weird i hadn't seen him, in a while
995
01:04:19.320 --> 01:04:24.000
and all, of a sudden he's RIGHT there and i
996
01:04:24.039 --> 01:04:26.800
paid it the pump AND that's WHEN i when i
997
01:04:26.800 --> 01:04:35.920
saw him all. Staring at me, all who everyone every
998
01:04:35.960 --> 01:04:39.559
single person at. The truck stop and he wasn't a.
999
01:04:39.639 --> 01:04:42.800
Small one either is that, it was huge, lit up
1000
01:04:42.920 --> 01:04:49.159
right people, filling. Their trucks staring folks were standing, at
1001
01:04:49.159 --> 01:04:52.800
the cars some were just standing in the lobby looking.
1002
01:04:52.840 --> 01:04:57.079
Out THE windows AND i mean i got on.
1003
01:04:57.159 --> 01:05:00.920
OUT of there. I, was sweating man that.
1004
01:05:00.039 --> 01:05:05.119
That is bizarre but maybe it. Was your truck maybe
1005
01:05:05.159 --> 01:05:09.760
it was, squealing or rattling or or you had toilet
1006
01:05:09.800 --> 01:05:12.840
paper on your. Shoe or something an awkward moment in
1007
01:05:12.920 --> 01:05:16.519
the middle, of the night combined with lack of caffeine
1008
01:05:16.559 --> 01:05:19.320
can turn on. You pretty, quickly.
1009
01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:25.480
I'd, Say, you're right hum. It ain't stopped.

Dozens of times there's almost never anybody.
1013
01:05:35.719 --> 01:05:39.679
Else this late but in, MY rear view i see five,
1014
01:05:39.760 --> 01:05:42.320
or six cards write some just right.
1015
01:05:42.400 --> 01:05:46.920
On, my tail well sometimes folks just need to ride on.
1016
01:05:47.000 --> 01:05:48.599
A random stretch.
1017
01:05:48.920 --> 01:05:52.679
Been fifteen miles and not A single one i can
1018
01:05:52.760 --> 01:05:53.880
see his past me or.
1019
01:05:53.960 --> 01:05:59.639
TAKEN an exit i had seen a single soul a.
1020
01:05:59.760 --> 01:05:59.920
Hit.
1021
01:06:00.119 --> 01:06:03.599
Of me neither it sounds to me like you're just
1022
01:06:03.760 --> 01:06:08.440
UNNERVED from. Everything i know often when people speak or hear,
1023
01:06:08.519 --> 01:06:14.320
about strange, phenomenon like, say sleep paralysis they're more likely
1024
01:06:14.440 --> 01:06:20.800
to experience it. Later that, night, It's weird man i'm just.
1025
01:06:20.880 --> 01:06:24.760
HOLDING at seventy i see a lot of lights whenever
1026
01:06:24.800 --> 01:06:26.480

1027
01:06:26.639 --> 01:06:32.440
MOVING in unison i can't. Go any faster just hope
1028
01:06:32.440 --> 01:06:33.679
they get. Where they're going.
1029
01:06:34.599 --> 01:06:39.719
It may be worth calling up, the highway patrol, don't
1030
01:06:39.719 --> 01:06:40.639
you think and.
1031
01:06:40.639 --> 01:06:44.239
Tell them what their. Cars behind me.
1032
01:06:44.800 --> 01:06:48.639
You could ask them if there's any, unusual highway activity
1033
01:06:49.280 --> 01:06:55.679
maybe a closure or. Something, like that sure that's not.
1034
01:06:55.719 --> 01:07:01.840
A bad idea i never said, ANYTHING like yes i
1035
01:07:01.840 --> 01:07:02.920

01:08:32.840 --> 01:08:35.159
On The. Air with Randall burr This.
1056
01:08:35.319 --> 01:08:38.399
IS dana in concordia i had a strange experience at
1057
01:08:38.399 --> 01:08:41.279
a truck, stop TONIGHT as Well and i SUPPOSE i'm
1058
01:08:41.279 --> 01:08:43.920
calling because i do not think the place was strange
1059
01:08:44.279 --> 01:08:49.439
until one particular. Person decided it was it seemed, ordinary, enough, at,
1060
01:08:49.439 --> 01:08:54.199
first bright tired functional the sort of place no, one,
1061
01:08:54.239 --> 01:09:00.319
Intends to remember, right nothing, obvious happened, no shouting no
1062
01:09:00.439 --> 01:09:03.960
scene nothing you. Could point to cleanly it was more
1063
01:09:04.000 --> 01:09:07.359
that one person seemed to arrive, carrying a private suspicion
1064
01:09:07.840 --> 01:09:11.560
and by, carrying it visibly enough started offering, it to everyone,
1065
01:09:11.600 --> 01:09:16.439
else not in. Words just in attention, and once that
1066
01:09:16.520 --> 01:09:19.560
began the place. NO longer felt neutral.
1067
01:09:19.479 --> 01:09:23.439
A private suspicion is, what creeped.
1068
01:09:23.479 --> 01:09:27.880
You out not exactly what unsettled me was how quickly.
1069
01:09:27.920 --> 01:09:32.000
It stopped being private most people can be uneasy in public.
1070
01:09:32.079 --> 01:09:36.279
Without changing the. Room this felt different it was as
1071
01:09:36.279 --> 01:09:39.720
if he was looking for confirmation so intently that other
1072
01:09:39.760 --> 01:09:42.520
people began wondering what exactly he.
1073
01:09:42.600 --> 01:09:48.199
Thought, he had found okay? But how would that how?
1074
01:09:48.199 --> 01:09:52.119
Would that be unsettling how? Would how would that how would?
1075
01:09:52.119 --> 01:09:53.520
That elicit that response.
1076
01:09:54.079 --> 01:09:58.640
Because attention is contagious if one person keeps looking around as,
1077
01:09:58.720 --> 01:10:02.720
though something is wrong everyone nearby begins asking, themselves the
1078
01:10:02.760 --> 01:10:06.199
same question even if they had been perfectly. Comfortable a
1079
01:10:06.239 --> 01:10:10.279
moment before, and once that happens the room is no.
1080
01:10:10.359 --> 01:10:13.720
Longer just a room it becomes a place where something
1081
01:10:13.800 --> 01:10:15.239
might be, about to reveal.
1082
01:10:14.960 --> 01:10:17.960
Itself something like what.
1083
01:10:18.560 --> 01:10:21.039
That was the problem he did not seem to know
1084
01:10:21.840 --> 01:10:24.239
if a person looks frightened of a gun or an,
1085
01:10:24.359 --> 01:10:28.520
argument or a fire other people understand the. Category and
1086
01:10:28.600 --> 01:10:32.880
respond accordingly but this was. Less specific than that he,
1087
01:10:33.000 --> 01:10:35.920
was looking at, people at the windows, at the whole
1088
01:10:35.960 --> 01:10:39.239
place as if he felt something was wrong but had
1089
01:10:39.239 --> 01:10:43.119
not yet decided. Where it was located that kind of
1090
01:10:43.199 --> 01:10:47.760
uncertainty spreads faster, than a clear threat because then everyone
1091
01:10:47.800 --> 01:10:48.920
starts wondering whether.
1092
01:10:48.960 --> 01:10:52.079
It Might be them I'M i'm not, sure I follow
1093
01:10:52.119 --> 01:10:57.000
you and i'm not. Sure how that works was he taking,
1094
01:10:57.239 --> 01:11:04.439
some sort? Of action sneaking around why would anyone be worried?
1095
01:11:04.520 --> 01:11:08.479
It might be? Them, what could happen.
1096
01:11:08.840 --> 01:11:12.479
No that was what. Made it so unpleasant, he was,
1097
01:11:12.520 --> 01:11:17.119
not sneaking not threatening not doing anything a manager. Could
1098
01:11:17.119 --> 01:11:21.119
reasonably intervene over he was simply looking at people as
1099
01:11:21.119 --> 01:11:24.600
though one of them might. Explain something to him and
1100
01:11:24.680 --> 01:11:28.239
when someone, studies strangers that way they begin to feel
1101
01:11:28.319 --> 01:11:34.199
less like strangers, and more like suspects suspects of what
1102
01:11:35.000 --> 01:11:38.880
of being the thing. That had disturbed him not guilty,
1103
01:11:39.000 --> 01:11:44.680
in any. Legal, sense more responsible somehow he was looking
1104
01:11:44.680 --> 01:11:47.319
at people the way someone looks at a room after
1105
01:11:47.399 --> 01:11:50.520
hearing a, noise in the walls not because he knows,
1106
01:11:50.560 --> 01:11:53.640
where it came from but because he has decided. It
1107
01:11:53.680 --> 01:11:55.560
came from someone.
1108
01:11:55.520 --> 01:11:59.039
It sounds like you're speaking for? More than just yourself?
1109
01:11:59.119 --> 01:12:05.720
Are you saying this one guy made everyone feel threatened by.
1110
01:12:07.119 --> 01:12:11.239
Looking around with concern threatened.
1111
01:12:10.960 --> 01:12:16.000
Maybe too strong a, word at first observed perhaps drawn
1112
01:12:16.079 --> 01:12:20.359
into something they. Had not, AGREED to and yes i
1113
01:12:20.399 --> 01:12:23.479
am speaking, for more than myself but only. In the
1114
01:12:23.520 --> 01:12:27.560
modest way people sometimes can you can feel when a
1115
01:12:27.600 --> 01:12:31.159
room has begun sharing an emotion, before anyone says, so
1116
01:12:32.119 --> 01:12:36.640
people flow, down they look up. They stop being casual
1117
01:12:37.520 --> 01:12:40.680
he did not need. To frighten, everyone directly.
1118
01:12:41.000 --> 01:12:50.439
Oh okay so this man frightens you and ostensively everyone else,
1119
01:12:50.560 --> 01:12:56.520
at this truck stop not by saying anything, or literally
1120
01:12:57.119 --> 01:13:02.960
doing anything but by. Thinking wrongly, Of, you.
1121
01:13:03.279 --> 01:13:07.279
Not exactly no it was not that he. Thought wrongly
1122
01:13:07.359 --> 01:13:10.920
of me it was that he seemed to, think wrongly
1123
01:13:11.239 --> 01:13:14.920
through us as though the people around him were not
1124
01:13:15.119 --> 01:13:18.560
people in the ordinary sense, for a few, moments but
1125
01:13:18.760 --> 01:13:22.479
possible explanations.
1126
01:13:20.960 --> 01:13:24.119
Possible, Explanations instead of.
1127
01:13:25.199 --> 01:13:27.079
People or at least that.
1128
01:13:27.239 --> 01:13:33.920
Is how, it felt not enemies, not exactly just candidates
1129
01:13:34.840 --> 01:13:38.319
as if he had already concluded something was wrong and
1130
01:13:38.439 --> 01:13:41.800
was moving through the people around him trying to determine
1131
01:13:41.920 --> 01:13:45.800
which arrangement of faces would make. The feeling make sense
1132
01:13:47.079 --> 01:13:51.359
that is a very uncomfortable way to be included. In someone, else's.
1133
01:13:50.960 --> 01:13:56.439
Thinking oh okay so his vibe was off and it made.
1134
01:13:56.479 --> 01:14:03.960
You everyone feel? Off what happened next he.
1135
01:14:03.920 --> 01:14:07.640
Moved through the place, the way anyone might too, quickly
1136
01:14:07.720 --> 01:14:12.000
to seem relaxed too slowly to. Seem in a, panic he,
1137
01:14:12.119 --> 01:14:17.479
kept looking not wildly just, with too much, intention at
1138
01:14:17.520 --> 01:14:21.199
the cashier at the, people by the windows. Out toward
1139
01:14:21.239 --> 01:14:24.800
the pumps and because he was behaving as though the,
1140
01:14:24.840 --> 01:14:29.159
place contained an answer other people began behaving as though
1141
01:14:29.199 --> 01:14:30.239
they might not want to.
1142
01:14:30.279 --> 01:14:34.920
Be mistaken, for one, hold on hold on you're saying.
1143
01:14:35.199 --> 01:14:41.239
A lot of nothing did the guy like leave, or
1144
01:14:41.439 --> 01:14:45.960
evaporate into nothing or did he turn into an idea
1145
01:14:46.119 --> 01:14:48.760
and become? The damn Easter, bunny.
1146
01:14:49.119 --> 01:14:52.600
He left randal huh that is what made the rest,
1147
01:14:52.640 --> 01:14:56.279
of it less. Comfortable, Not more right right he left,
1148
01:14:56.279 --> 01:14:59.479
in the ordinary sense went back, out, to his truck
1149
01:15:00.239 --> 01:15:05.159
away became someone else's, headlights on the road and yet
1150
01:15:05.319 --> 01:15:08.439
the feeling did not leave with him as completely. As
1151
01:15:08.439 --> 01:15:11.640
it should have it was as if, he had gone
1152
01:15:11.720 --> 01:15:15.479
first and the unease took a moment longer to decide
1153
01:15:15.520 --> 01:15:18.199
whether it. Was staying or following.
1154
01:15:18.199 --> 01:15:23.800
So you're saying he upsets you more by removing. Himself
1155
01:15:23.800 --> 01:15:25.199
from the situation.
1156
01:15:25.159 --> 01:15:29.920
Not, by removing himself no by revealing that he had not.
1157
01:15:30.119 --> 01:15:34.239
Been the whole situation if a man makes a place,
1158
01:15:34.359 --> 01:15:39.199
uneasy and then leaves the. Place should correct itself people.
1159
01:15:39.319 --> 01:15:44.079
Should return to themselves this did not happen as quickly as,
1160
01:15:44.119 --> 01:15:46.760
it ought, to have, right right you.
1161
01:15:46.880 --> 01:15:52.239
Said this happened tonight are you still at, the truck
1162
01:15:52.279 --> 01:15:56.760
stop then or did you? GO about your business.
1163
01:15:56.960 --> 01:16:00.159
I went ABOUT my business or. I intended to two
1164
01:16:01.000 --> 01:16:04.000
i left not very, long after he did and for
1165
01:16:04.039 --> 01:16:07.039
a while that seemed like. The end of it BUT
1166
01:16:07.119 --> 01:16:10.920
after some miles i began to suspect the unease had not.
1167
01:16:11.039 --> 01:16:15.600
Remained where it began THAT is partly why i called
1168
01:16:16.319 --> 01:16:19.680
it is difficult to know when an atmosphere has ended and.
1169
01:16:19.760 --> 01:16:21.800
A pattern has started.
1170
01:16:21.800 --> 01:16:24.560
Are you trying to tell me you're on the road right?
1171
01:16:24.560 --> 01:16:26.359
Now following a.
1172
01:16:26.279 --> 01:16:28.680
Truck THAT is the part i am.
1173
01:16:28.720 --> 01:16:31.680
Trying to, DESCRIBE carefully of course i got, back on
1174
01:16:31.720 --> 01:16:34.279
the highway AND after some time i realized the truck
1175
01:16:34.279 --> 01:16:37.439
ahead of ME was his or i believe, it was,
1176
01:16:38.159 --> 01:16:43.119
same shape same pace same sense, of DELIBERATENESS around it
1177
01:16:43.800 --> 01:16:47.720
and i would have. PASSED under normal circumstances i think several.
1178
01:16:47.760 --> 01:16:50.560
Of us would have but the spacing on the road.
1179
01:16:50.680 --> 01:16:54.640
Has stayed, STRANGELY consistent so yes i am behind.

1197
01:17:51.079 --> 01:17:54.760
i've known pete as. A listener for years he's not,
1198
01:17:54.960 --> 01:17:58.640
In on this prank so that means you're making fun of.
1199
01:17:58.680 --> 01:18:00.279
A genuinely skilled.
1200
01:18:00.760 --> 01:18:05.399
Man, Yes, TO all three randall, I have a job.
1201
01:18:05.760 --> 01:18:08.840
I have an address i have lived an ordinary, life
1202
01:18:08.840 --> 01:18:12.199
in ordinary sequence at least to the extent anyone ever
1203
01:18:12.279 --> 01:18:15.560
proves that to another. Person OVER the radio and i
1204
01:18:15.560 --> 01:18:18.520
am not. MAKING fun of him i am saying that fear.
1205
01:18:18.640 --> 01:18:21.159
Is not always private once a person, gives it enough
1206
01:18:21.159 --> 01:18:28.319
structure sometimes it begins recruiting, the, things, around. It people distances, timing.
1207
01:18:28.520 --> 01:18:32.600
If you're serious and god knows how, you possibly could,
1208
01:18:32.640 --> 01:18:37.319
be leave him alone take your line of creepy cars
1209
01:18:37.479 --> 01:18:42.079
and get. Off The, damn highway go, terroriza BUCkies or something.
1210
01:18:42.439 --> 01:18:43.880
Get a new hobby.
1211
01:18:44.199 --> 01:18:46.479
If, IT were that simple i think one of us would.
1212
01:18:46.479 --> 01:18:49.039
Have done it ALREADY that is, what i, am trying
1213
01:18:49.359 --> 01:18:53.119
perhaps badly. To explain to you no one appears. To
1214
01:18:53.159 --> 01:18:56.800
be forcing anything, there is no, swerving no boxing in
1215
01:18:57.399 --> 01:19:00.319
no threat you could point, to in a report just a.
1216
01:19:00.399 --> 01:19:03.920
Continued FAILURE to separate and i do not think telling
1217
01:19:03.960 --> 01:19:06.479
the road to stop being a pattern has much effect
1218
01:19:06.600 --> 01:19:07.359
once it has become.
1219
01:19:07.399 --> 01:19:12.520
ONE good night CALLER i know, before i Recommended medication

01:26:43.439 --> 01:26:47.640
least but i suppose that's what you want when you
1318
01:26:48.159 --> 01:26:52.399
tune into a late night discussion of. THE unknown and
1319
01:26:53.760 --> 01:26:59.399
paranormal i guess the, positive spin would be it's been
1320
01:26:59.439 --> 01:27:04.359
a very memorable. Night Over the airwaves producer boyd has
1321
01:27:04.479 --> 01:27:08.279
talked me off The ledge and now i'm ready. To
1322
01:27:08.359 --> 01:27:13.199
take your calls no more letting the faceless. Trolls dominate
1323
01:27:13.479 --> 01:27:17.680
my imagination the lines are open at three oh eight
1324
01:27:17.880 --> 01:27:22.279
one five seven, six' one seven four and i would
1325
01:27:22.359 --> 01:27:27.600
love to hear your. Experiences in the Out There. You're
1326
01:27:27.720 --> 01:27:29.399
on WITH randall Burr.
1327
01:27:29.560 --> 01:27:31.399
This, is tomasi mayev langa.
1328
01:27:31.399 --> 01:27:35.920
Well the airwaves, do Work in mysterious ways but i'm.
1329
01:27:35.920 --> 01:27:39.199
Glad to have you. Listening what's on your mind.
1330
01:27:39.279 --> 01:27:42.600
Something happened out on, a PROPERTY near here recently and
1331
01:27:42.680 --> 01:27:44.720
i think it may be long in the category of
1332
01:27:44.800 --> 01:27:48.199
things that are. Easier to, feel than, explain all right,
1333
01:27:48.600 --> 01:27:52.840
at first nothing. Appeared wrong that is, important there, was
1334
01:27:52.880 --> 01:27:56.479
no damage no blood, no sign of forced entry if
1335
01:27:56.520 --> 01:27:58.880
that is the right phrase. To use for open land
1336
01:28:00.000 --> 01:28:02.000
it was simply that the place had taken on the
1337
01:28:02.039 --> 01:28:05.600
feeling of a decision having been made there before anyone.
1338
01:28:05.680 --> 01:28:09.159
Present understood what it was and once you notice that kind,
1339
01:28:09.199 --> 01:28:12.199
of arrangement in a field it becomes difficult?
1340
01:28:12.319 --> 01:28:17.920
To, keep calling it ordinary okay what kind? Of arrangement
1341
01:28:18.640 --> 01:28:22.239
are you talking crop, circles or something less.
1342
01:28:22.239 --> 01:28:26.880
Common less decorative than, that not in, the crops in
1343
01:28:26.920 --> 01:28:30.880
the animals though in may not be, the best world.
1344
01:28:31.760 --> 01:28:36.880
Around them perhaps between them it was not that anything
1345
01:28:36.920 --> 01:28:40.039
had been done to. Them in the obvious sense it
1346
01:28:40.159 --> 01:28:42.800
was that they seemed to have accepted a pattern all
1347
01:28:42.840 --> 01:28:46.840
at once and were remaining faithful to it for reasons.
1348
01:28:47.000 --> 01:28:49.279
No one nearby could access could you?
1349
01:28:49.520 --> 01:28:56.079
Please please? Be more specific what happened something in a
1350
01:28:56.159 --> 01:28:57.880
field right, like a farm?
1351
01:28:58.039 --> 01:29:03.439
Or Yes a run property cattle they were standing in
1352
01:29:03.479 --> 01:29:07.520
a formation that, no one recalled them entering and no one.
1353
01:29:07.560 --> 01:29:12.600
Could persuade, them to, Leave not panicked not aditated. That
1354
01:29:12.680 --> 01:29:16.760
would have been easier they were, simply polding to it
1355
01:29:17.680 --> 01:29:21.880
quietly as though whatever had arranged them. Had not entirely
1356
01:29:21.920 --> 01:29:23.560
finished speaking, I'll.
1357
01:29:23.600 --> 01:29:27.159
Give it to you thomas you're. A man of many words.
1358
01:29:27.199 --> 01:29:32.680
But unfortunately airtime isn't free try, to cut, To the
1359
01:29:32.760 --> 01:29:37.439
chase all right, so cattle are acting strange. Standing in
1360
01:29:37.520 --> 01:29:42.000
an unusual formation was anything else odd? Going on, in,
1361
01:29:42.039 --> 01:29:46.640
the area strange? Lights sounds something like.
1362
01:29:46.560 --> 01:29:50.520
That there was a sound not loud that is part
1363
01:29:50.560 --> 01:29:54.680
of why people kept. Second guessing themselves about it if it,
1364
01:29:54.720 --> 01:29:59.000
had been machinery or, thunder or some obvious intrusion.
1365
01:29:59.000 --> 01:30:00.800
At least it would. Have belonged to.
1366
01:30:00.880 --> 01:30:06.359
A category this did not, it was a low hum but,
1367
01:30:06.520 --> 01:30:09.760
not steady enough to ignore and not. Buried enough to
1368
01:30:09.880 --> 01:30:13.880
call music more like the ground had begun holding a
1369
01:30:13.920 --> 01:30:16.159
note and the animals had decided.
1370
01:30:16.279 --> 01:30:17.800
It was worth listening.
1371
01:30:17.439 --> 01:30:21.760
To you're assuming a lot. Of the mentality of cows don't?
1372
01:30:21.760 --> 01:30:25.359
YOU think that is fair i am, describing it. From
1373
01:30:25.399 --> 01:30:28.920
the outside of course, but when, animals.
1374
01:30:28.439 --> 01:30:33.039
Refuse food refuse prodding refuse habits, they have kept for
1375
01:30:33.279 --> 01:30:37.560
years one is left either to assign them intention or
1376
01:30:37.600 --> 01:30:40.520
admit that something less comfortable may have.
1377
01:30:40.600 --> 01:30:42.720
Been supplying it for them have.
1378
01:30:42.800 --> 01:30:47.079
The cattle died you? Said they were refusing food did?
1379
01:30:47.119 --> 01:30:52.600
They maintain this formation indefinitely or did it end just? As?
1380
01:30:52.680 --> 01:30:55.640
Suddenly as, it began, No.
1381
01:30:55.600 --> 01:31:00.079
NOT died not then and i should be careful if
1382
01:31:00.159 --> 01:31:02.920
using may sound more dramatic than, It looked in the
1383
01:31:03.000 --> 01:31:04.880
moment it was.
1384
01:31:04.880 --> 01:31:06.199
More that food ceased.
1385
01:31:06.239 --> 01:31:10.880
To matter, for a while water also the usual little
1386
01:31:10.880 --> 01:31:14.199
motives that keep animals moving through a day. Seemed, to,
1387
01:31:14.239 --> 01:31:15.920
LOSE their authority.
1388
01:31:15.760 --> 01:31:20.600
Well yeah i wasn't. Suggesting they. Were otherwise immortal they're
1389
01:31:20.640 --> 01:31:26.560
cows they die. Inevitably like all living things refusing food
1390
01:31:26.600 --> 01:31:31.279
and water for a short time isn't an uncommon mistake for.
1391
01:31:31.319 --> 01:31:35.720
A sick or, Upset animal that is true.
1392
01:31:35.960 --> 01:31:38.279
And if, it had been, one animal or a few
1393
01:31:38.800 --> 01:31:42.439
or anything with, THE untidiness of ordinary ILLNESS i do not.
1394
01:31:42.600 --> 01:31:46.520
Think i would have called but sickness is usually. Individual
1395
01:31:46.640 --> 01:31:52.479
first and collective. Second this felt collective first that is
1396
01:31:52.479 --> 01:31:56.840
what made it difficult. To regard as merely veterinary they
1397
01:31:56.840 --> 01:32:00.520
were not each behaving. Badly in their own way they
1398
01:32:00.560 --> 01:32:04.399
were behaving correctly together according to something no.
1399
01:32:04.479 --> 01:32:06.920
One else had been shown isn't that?
1400
01:32:07.000 --> 01:32:12.079
What cattle do behave collectively we even use the phrase
1401
01:32:12.600 --> 01:32:18.199
like cattle. To, describe operating in, Unison yes to.
1402
01:32:18.199 --> 01:32:20.359
A point but there is a difference.
1403
01:32:20.399 --> 01:32:26.119
BETWEEN herd behavior and, compliance, a herd follows appetite alarm
1404
01:32:26.520 --> 01:32:27.520
have it the.
1405
01:32:27.640 --> 01:32:32.199
Movement of the nearest body, this was. Quieter, Than, that more.
1406
01:32:32.039 --> 01:32:36.960
Exact okay, well thanks for the call and best of.
1407
01:32:37.079 --> 01:32:40.720
Luck with the whole situation as, vague, as it may be.
1408
01:32:42.600 --> 01:32:45.960
Caller You're On. The air with randal burr hopefully you're
1409
01:32:46.000 --> 01:32:50.159
a bit more. Concise of a speaker word salad seems
1410
01:32:50.199 --> 01:32:52.840
to be the. Special, on, The, menu tonight.
1411
01:32:53.079 --> 01:32:57.119
Yes hello Randall, This. Is leah in thompson manitoba i'll
1412
01:32:57.119 --> 01:32:59.640
try to be more. Economical Than your last caller.
1413
01:32:59.640 --> 01:33:03.279
Thank heavens for Small Miracles Up. In, the great white
1414
01:33:03.319 --> 01:33:07.560
north eh we really are becoming. A global experience. For
1415
01:33:07.680 --> 01:33:11.039
listeners please GO ahead i'm.
1416
01:33:10.840 --> 01:33:13.640
Calling because i heard SOMETHING on weather radio that i,
1417
01:33:13.680 --> 01:33:16.600
do NOT think belonged there and i have been having
1418
01:33:16.640 --> 01:33:20.520
a hard time convincing. Myself it was only interference.
1419
01:33:20.399 --> 01:33:23.319
There seems to be a lot of talk about those kinds.
1420
01:33:23.359 --> 01:33:28.159
Of phenomenon as of late so? WHAT exactly did, you hear.
1421
01:33:28.720 --> 01:33:35.119
A voice calm very calm not the tone they. Use for,
1422
01:33:35.199 --> 01:33:40.479
watches or warnings, no urgency no official cadence none of
1423
01:33:40.520 --> 01:33:43.439
that clipped authority weather radio has when it wants you
1424
01:33:43.520 --> 01:33:48.399
to take. Shelter and stop asking questions, this was. Quieter
1425
01:33:48.600 --> 01:33:54.520
than that more certain it said not to.
1426
01:33:54.600 --> 01:33:54.840
Look.
1427
01:33:54.920 --> 01:33:55.800
At the tree.
1428
01:33:55.560 --> 01:34:00.920
Line right don't emergency warnings tend? TO be kind of
1429
01:34:01.800 --> 01:34:05.760
deadpan i mean they don't, speak in a panicked tone.
1430
01:34:05.920 --> 01:34:09.600
Since that would, be counterproductive.
1431
01:34:09.479 --> 01:34:14.119
Yes they do but deadpan is not. The same thing
1432
01:34:14.319 --> 01:34:17.800
as intimate this did not sound like a system. Speaking
1433
01:34:17.840 --> 01:34:21.479
to everyone at once it sounded like something. Addressing the
1434
01:34:21.520 --> 01:34:26.720
people already awake that was the. Distinction an alert in
1435
01:34:26.840 --> 01:34:31.279
forms this sounded like it. ALREADY knew WHO was listening.
1436
01:34:31.800 --> 01:34:35.039
I think i follow you, BUT at the same time
1437
01:34:35.319 --> 01:34:39.760
i have to ask why were? You tuned into emergency
1438
01:34:39.880 --> 01:34:42.319
radio was there something.
1439
01:34:42.399 --> 01:34:46.039
Going on at the time it's common enough up here to,
1440
01:34:46.119 --> 01:34:48.720
leave one on at night especially if. The weather has
1441
01:34:48.760 --> 01:34:52.439
been shifting you stop noticing it until. It says something
1442
01:34:52.520 --> 01:34:56.119
worth noticing that was part. OF what made this worse
1443
01:34:56.800 --> 01:34:59.680
i wasn't sitting there in. FEAR waiting for a message,
1444
01:35:00.479 --> 01:35:05.039
i was. Doing something ordinary half listening when the ordinary
1445
01:35:05.119 --> 01:35:08.640
voice was replaced by one that seemed to understand. It
1446
01:35:08.680 --> 01:35:10.159
had found me already.
1447
01:35:10.560 --> 01:35:15.239
So people were already, listening and as. You explained it's
1448
01:35:15.479 --> 01:35:19.920
not uncommon so why is it strange that It acted
1449
01:35:20.079 --> 01:35:22.239
like it knew because it.
1450
01:35:22.199 --> 01:35:24.680
Did not sound as though. It had found an audience
1451
01:35:25.680 --> 01:35:30.119
it sounded as. Though it had found. Witnesses there, Is a.
1452
01:35:30.079 --> 01:35:36.920
Difference uh right is there anything unusual? About that particular.
1453
01:35:37.039 --> 01:35:41.560
Tree, line not in daylight no that. Is part of the,
1454
01:35:41.600 --> 01:35:47.800
problem it, was just trees black spruce mostly the sort
1455
01:35:47.840 --> 01:35:50.840
of edge your eyes slide over. A hundred times without,
1456
01:35:50.880 --> 01:35:55.159
consequence no. LIGHTS in it no movement i. Could swear
1457
01:35:55.199 --> 01:36:01.119
to nothing, theatrical but after the message. It stopped feeling
1458
01:36:01.159 --> 01:36:04.279
like scenery it felt like the part of the night
1459
01:36:04.359 --> 01:36:04.640
that had.
1460
01:36:04.640 --> 01:36:06.840
Been, listening back right right.
1461
01:36:06.960 --> 01:36:10.880
WELL thank you for calling i, guess STAY safe out
1462
01:36:10.880 --> 01:36:14.840
there though i guess not by. Listening to the radio
1463
01:36:15.000 --> 01:36:18.600
anymore we're going to take a quick break, and when
1464
01:36:18.640 --> 01:36:21.399
we get back we'll be taking some more of your
1465
01:36:21.439 --> 01:36:28.960

a little, too high falutin but regardless where still somehow. Happy,
1475
01:37:12.119 --> 01:37:16.039
To take your calls Caller, you're lost, in the void
1476
01:37:16.119 --> 01:37:17.479

1477
01:37:17.520 --> 01:37:17.600
The?
1478
01:37:17.680 --> 01:37:20.239
Void, Feel, deep tonight.
1479
01:37:20.239 --> 01:37:21.199
Yes hello Randal.
1480
01:37:21.479 --> 01:37:24.560
This is arjun in rajasthan i'm calling because there IS
1481
01:37:24.600 --> 01:37:27.079
a temple near where i live that has begun. Making
1482
01:37:27.119 --> 01:37:30.560
ITSELF difficult to ignore and i do not think that difficulty.
1483
01:37:30.680 --> 01:37:33.399
Is entirely RELIGIOUS in nature Who whoa whoa Hold?
1484
01:37:33.439 --> 01:37:35.479
On, Rajasthan, As.
1485
01:37:35.520 --> 01:37:40.720
IN india yes rajasthan india i realize your show covers
1486
01:37:40.760 --> 01:37:43.319
a great deal of, Territory in a single, night but
1487
01:37:43.439 --> 01:37:46.760
in this case, the geography is real enough. The temple,
1488
01:37:47.000 --> 01:37:50.680
IS as, well the difficulty. I think begins after that?
1489
01:37:51.039 --> 01:37:53.680
But how are you listening is it some kind of.
1490
01:37:53.760 --> 01:37:58.319
UNAUTHORIZED web stream or something i know we have a mighty,
1491
01:37:58.520 --> 01:38:02.359
tower for our stations size but that's the whole, other
1492
01:38:02.479 --> 01:38:03.079
side of the.
1493
01:38:03.000 --> 01:38:05.800
Planet, not by your tower randal by.
1494
01:38:05.840 --> 01:38:08.479
A copy of. Your. Voice, that is common now yes
1495
01:38:08.720 --> 01:38:12.239
a thing said once can continue arriving elsewhere long after.
1496
01:38:12.319 --> 01:38:15.319
IT has left the room. I found your, program online
1497
01:38:15.479 --> 01:38:19.479
the temple unfortunately does Not. Seem to require the internet.
1498
01:38:19.279 --> 01:38:22.439
You certainly took your sweet time. To get to that, Revelation,
1499
01:38:23.680 --> 01:38:29.359
hold on a Second yeah we. Talked about rajasthan earlier
1500
01:38:29.359 --> 01:38:33.359
tonight now you HAPPEN to be. Calling in i get
1501
01:38:33.399 --> 01:38:36.880
it now you want to enjoy riling up the. Small
1502
01:38:36.920 --> 01:38:41.520
town talk radio guy guess. That's. Your, Idea, of FUN.
1503
01:38:41.479 --> 01:38:44.960
Huh no randal if i, WANTED only to rile you
1504
01:38:45.199 --> 01:38:48.239
i would have called much earlier. AND spoken much less
1505
01:38:48.279 --> 01:38:50.199
carefully i am calling because you.
1506
01:38:50.319 --> 01:38:52.239
Mentioned THE bells.
1507
01:38:51.960 --> 01:38:56.199
Less carefully if, I didn't know any better i'd. Say
1508
01:38:56.239 --> 01:39:00.279
that was a threat tough talk from. A, guy on the.
1509
01:39:00.119 --> 01:39:02.039
Phone no not a threat.
1510
01:39:02.399 --> 01:39:05.439
Only an observation about tone you are treating this like
1511
01:39:05.479 --> 01:39:08.640

That.
1514
01:39:11.680 --> 01:39:13.119
Category, some time ago.
1515
01:39:13.279 --> 01:39:17.039
Cute well next time you, want to get your jollies
1516
01:39:17.560 --> 01:39:23.560

1517
01:39:23.640 --> 01:39:26.399
apologies to boyd and the booth for having to catch
1518
01:39:26.439 --> 01:39:30.640
those words flying before they snag US. A, fine from
1519
01:39:30.680 --> 01:39:37.279

the record books all right let's take one more call
1521
01:39:41.439 --> 01:39:45.920
before we wrap up for the Night Caller. You're, On, With,
1522
01:39:46.960 --> 01:39:48.079

Yes hello Randall this Is. Mara and carnie.
1524
01:39:51.319 --> 01:39:55.439
Ah good a local caller was half expecting this call
1525
01:39:55.479 --> 01:39:59.920
To Be Coming. From the international space station so what
1526
01:40:00.000 --> 01:40:02.279
would you. LIKE to share with us.
1527
01:40:02.239 --> 01:40:05.039
I had an experience a while back on A dark
1528
01:40:05.159 --> 01:40:09.439
road with someone i was trying in, my OWN way
1529
01:40:09.520 --> 01:40:13.680
to help and i have never been entirely. Sure, whether
1530
01:40:13.720 --> 01:40:14.800
he understood that.
1531
01:40:15.359 --> 01:40:20.600
Okay you've piqued my curiosity, even in. My let's. Say
1532
01:40:21.399 --> 01:40:25.520
agitated state please continue.
1533
01:40:25.600 --> 01:40:29.119
It was on a, road outside town, years ago now
1534
01:40:30.000 --> 01:40:34.079
sparse traffic the kind of night where a single pair
1535
01:40:34.119 --> 01:40:38.000
of headlights feels less like company than a measurement of.
1536
01:40:38.039 --> 01:40:40.119
How alone everything else is.
1537
01:40:42.000 --> 01:40:47.159
I'm, A lot less excited? NOW but why stop now.
1538
01:40:47.720 --> 01:40:51.319
I was off, the SHOULDER that is important because i
1539
01:40:51.359 --> 01:40:53.880
do not WANT to give the impression i stepped into
1540
01:40:53.920 --> 01:40:58.439
the lane. OR meant to endanger anyone i was where
1541
01:40:58.439 --> 01:41:03.039
a person could reasonably. Be without becoming an obstacle the
1542
01:41:03.119 --> 01:41:06.800
driver came along looking tired in the. Particular way, that worries,
1543
01:41:06.840 --> 01:41:13.560
you not asleep not intoxicated just thinned out too. Much
1544
01:41:13.640 --> 01:41:17.279
ROAD behind the eyes and i had the sense very
1545
01:41:17.319 --> 01:41:20.439
strongly that if he, kept going in that condition he
1546
01:41:20.560 --> 01:41:22.800
was going to give his attention to the wrong. Thing
1547
01:41:23.319 --> 01:41:27.640
AT the wrong moment so. I tried, to make contact.
1548
01:41:27.520 --> 01:41:32.159
That's scary even in. THE least paranormal of situations a
1549
01:41:32.239 --> 01:41:37.159
car without an attentive driver. Is a danger to everyone
1550
01:41:37.359 --> 01:41:42.359
so how did? YOU try to make contact i raised.
1551
01:41:42.399 --> 01:41:47.319
A hand, toward the, window only, that not, pounding not
1552
01:41:47.520 --> 01:41:52.520
grasping nothing wild just enough to bring his attention back into,
1553
01:41:52.560 --> 01:41:57.399
ONE place at one time a very simple signal from.
1554
01:41:57.439 --> 01:42:00.600
The side of the road you raised a, hint to
1555
01:42:01.560 --> 01:42:03.119
get his attention.
1556
01:42:03.319 --> 01:42:05.960
Or toward, the side of the car if. You prefer
1557
01:42:06.039 --> 01:42:10.479
it that way these things become, imprecise very quickly in
1558
01:42:10.560 --> 01:42:14.800
memory especially when one person is moving and the other is.
1559
01:42:14.840 --> 01:42:18.960
Trying NOT to cause ALARM what i mean is i
1560
01:42:19.039 --> 01:42:22.680
made the smallest gesture available to me that still had.
1561
01:42:22.720 --> 01:42:26.399
SOME chance of being noticed i did not think of it.
1562
01:42:26.439 --> 01:42:28.800
AS reaching into his. Space i.
1563
01:42:28.840 --> 01:42:32.720
Think he did sounds dangerous to, reach toward a moving
1564
01:42:32.800 --> 01:42:36.199
car you'd have to be pretty close for a hand to,
1565
01:42:36.239 --> 01:42:37.920
Be able to signal.
1566
01:42:37.600 --> 01:42:42.039
Him closer than HE liked certainly closer. Than i meant to?
1567
01:42:42.079 --> 01:42:43.079
Feel what?
1568
01:42:43.279 --> 01:42:47.680
Does? That mean be specific please people, are trying to
1569
01:42:47.840 --> 01:42:53.319
Understand you. AND it's me i'm people i mean it.
1570
01:42:53.279 --> 01:42:57.000
Did not feel close. Until he reacted, TO it from
1571
01:42:57.079 --> 01:43:00.840
my perspective i was making a small. Practice gesture FROM
1572
01:43:00.880 --> 01:43:04.840
the roadside from his i think it became, a hand
1573
01:43:04.880 --> 01:43:05.920
at the window.
1574
01:43:07.199 --> 01:43:11.640
Like at the. Window, or inside, the.
1575
01:43:11.560 --> 01:43:16.199
Car no not inside but near enough. TO be mistaken
1576
01:43:16.239 --> 01:43:17.000
for that i.
1577
01:43:16.920 --> 01:43:21.439
Think you think you. Know what the motorist felt you
1578
01:43:21.600 --> 01:43:26.239
signaled him in a startling way because you saw some vague.
1579
01:43:26.279 --> 01:43:28.239
Signs he was in danger.
1580
01:43:28.439 --> 01:43:31.279
There is a particular kind of driver who is no longer.
1581
01:43:31.319 --> 01:43:34.039
Fully where the road is you can, see it in
1582
01:43:34.119 --> 01:43:37.239
the pace in the way the vehicle holds itself, just
1583
01:43:37.279 --> 01:43:40.680
a little too rigidly as if the person inside is
1584
01:43:40.800 --> 01:43:43.079
using attention to. Keep something, ELSE out.
1585
01:43:43.439 --> 01:43:49.920
Right of course i think. I've Heard, this story before
1586
01:43:50.119 --> 01:43:54.359
so marra what do? You do for a living where?
1587
01:43:54.359 --> 01:43:58.199
Did you go to school? WHAT'S your mother's first, Name.
1588
01:43:59.159 --> 01:44:02.479
I do ordinary work randal I went to, school where
1589
01:44:02.479 --> 01:44:05.439
i was sent and my mother had a name people used.
1590
01:44:05.439 --> 01:44:09.399
When they needed her attention if you're asking whether reciting
1591
01:44:09.439 --> 01:44:12.439
credentials would, MAKE the story feel safer i.
1592
01:44:12.520 --> 01:44:15.079
Do not think it would i'm trying to figure out
1593
01:44:15.119 --> 01:44:17.479
if you're an honest caller or another one of these
1594
01:44:18.399 --> 01:44:22.079

It's midnight on the radio. The phone lines are open,
2
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:08.160
the signal is strong, and somewhere out in the dark,
3
00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:13.439
people are calling in with impossible stories of faceless figures,
4
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:17.480
dark roads, and voices in the static. But the callers
5
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:21.320

in the dark. It's more fun at that way way.
13
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.119
This is Weekly.
14
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:09.799
Speaking, Hello my Spookyes, it's Wednesday, and you know what
15
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:14.719
that means. It's time for a little spooky in your
16
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:20.640
weekly And this is the four hundredth time we've brought
17
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:24.519
it to you. I'm your host and narrator, Enrique Kuto,
18
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:29.120
and we have a very very special episode just for
19
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:33.760
you to enjoy, featuring our guest star Dwayne Whittaker, who
20
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:38.799
you may recognize from Pulp Fiction, The Devil's Rejects, Tales
21
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:41.959
from the Hood, and many other films and TV shows.
22
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.799
This episode is extra special for me because what got
23
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:50.400
me into doing this podcast in the first place was
24
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:57.400
that mysterious unknown void of am radio a space that
25
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:02.239
brought all kinds of dreams and nightmares to life. So
26
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:07.439
tonight I'm recreating that vibe to tell you a story.
27
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:11.520
We'll be tuning in to a little station out of
28
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:17.639
a small town where something big is happening. But before
29
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:19.599
we get to that, I want to say thank you
30
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.919
all so much for joining me on this four hundred
31
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:27.719
episode celebration. I really really went all out, and I
32
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:31.759
hope you enjoy it so very much. It's been a
33
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:37.039
dream to bring you four hundred scary stories, and there's
34
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:42.960
no plan on stopping anytime soon. Now, as for tonight,
35
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.879
there's something strange about a voice in the middle of
36
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:52.439
the night on the radio. It can feel like company
37
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:56.120
when the roads are empty, when the house is quiet,
38
00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:00.960
when the world outside your window has gone black. It
39
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:05.800
tells you that someone else is awake, someone else is listening.
40
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:10.199
But what if the signal goes farther than it should.
41
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:15.080
What if the wrong thing hears you. Tonight's tale comes
42
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:19.240
from the lonely hours after midnight, where a paranormal talk
43
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:25.199
show host opens the lines and invites the unknown to speak.
44
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:29.800
But once a voice enters the void, it may not
45
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:40.800
be so easy to get it back out. Final broadcast
46
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:42.680
by Enrique Kuto.
47
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:50.080
You're joining us togab on to Newbraska. Talk to me.
48
00:03:53.400 --> 00:04:01.639
It's midnight, it's dark, the quiet can be overwhelming. It's okay, though,
49
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:07.479
because you are lost in the void and I'm Randall Byrne.
50
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:12.560
It is a beautiful, clear night over the Great Plains.
51
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:18.839
The ionosphere starts to dissipate, and our beefy twenty thousand
52
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:25.439
watts reaches hundreds of miles into the ether. No way
53
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:30.920
to know exactly how far. So who needs syndication When
54
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:35.040
we've got the laws of physics. We're happy to have
55
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:39.199

your dialing th we have some news to get. To
60
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:13.279
researchers in Northern norway are reportedly investigating strange blue lights
61
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:19.480
moving under a frozen lake Near. Tramsau let's, say said Tromsaw.
62
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:24.600
Tramsau can you imagine being in the northern part Of?
63
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:30.000
NORWAY i mean the country basically means. North how far
64
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:34.920
north do you get before you're finding. Yourself South, well
65
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:40.120
local residents say the lights appear just after midnight and
66
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:45.600
seem to follow people walking along the. Shore officials insist
67
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:51.000
it may be an unusual but natural. Phenomenon, however fishermen
68
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:54.800
in the area claim the lights have been seen for,
69
00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:02.920
generations always before someone. Disappear could there be some sort
70
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:08.959
of extraterrestrial lurking in the Deep the water is hard to.
71
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:14.000
Investigate the oceans are as mysterious as outer, space at
72
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:18.279
least when it comes to our. Understanding it could be
73
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:21.959
easy to cozy up under the ice and wait for
74
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:27.360
someone to pass by, alone snatch them, up and keep
75
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:34.079
gathering intelligence on the volatile ape. Species of, course who
76
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:38.759
knows what pertinent details we just might be missing. Here
77
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:44.199
while it is a long, shot a very long, shot
78
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.519
it would be a dream to have someone out that
79
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.199
way give us a. Call these news stories are always
80
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:58.319
so hard to grasp properly because of editorial. Influence usually
81
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:03.360
use to make them more palatable for the. Public as
82
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:07.279
my Wife jen loves to, say a lie can travel
83
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:10.720
around the world before the truth even has time to
84
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:16.439
get the curlers out of her. Hair, okay let's head
85
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:22.959
Down south, AWAYS i mean Way. South ranchers Outside Bahia,
86
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:28.360
Blanca argentina say several herds of cattle were discovered standing
87
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:35.680
silently in near perfect rings before, dawn refusing to move for.
88
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:41.600
Hours no sign of, predators, storms or trespassers were. Found
89
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:46.439
one ranch hand claims he heard a low humming sound
90
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:51.680
quote like power lines under the, ground even though there
91
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:59.920
are no lines for. Miles vibrations electromagnetic. Radiation it's a whi.
92
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:04.639
Thing it's how you're listening to this right, Now these
93
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:10.120
invisible waves all around, us zooming past our faces while
94
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:14.319
we go about our. Day but what do these vibrations
95
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:22.399
have in? Common? Communication the waves carry, tones, codes, words
96
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:26.040
whatever you want to put on. Them seems like the
97
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:34.200
cattle are. Receiving so who's? Broadcasting i've got my, theories
98
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:40.120
but that is for another. Time back In North, america
99
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:46.840
listeners in Remote, Manitoba canada say a weather radio broadcast
100
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:53.360
was interrupted by an unknown, voice calmly repeating do not
101
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:58.559
look at the tree. Line the message allegedly aired for
102
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:05.759
thirteen seconds before normal programming. Resumed federal authorities deny any
103
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:14.080
such interruption, occurred but recordings have begun circulating. Online i'm
104
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:17.840
not sure WHAT i find stranger about, this the ominous
105
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:22.799
message or the fact that so many people were concurrently
106
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:28.480
listening to weather, radio let alone getting a recording of.
107
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:34.360
It my Producer boyd is reminding me that with smartphones
108
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:40.279
in everyone's, hands capturing a random moment isn't so unusual to,
109
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:44.120
THAT i, say mister smarty, pants if they have an
110
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.120
iPhone in their, hand why on earth are they checking
111
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:51.799
the radio for the. Weather then, AGAIN i shouldn't talk
112
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.000
too much, smack considering we are over the air and
113
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.559
grateful for every damn one of you, listening and my
114
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.360
diligent producer has queued up a recording of the sound
115
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:08.600
for us to. Sample play it for, Me, boyd.
116
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.799
Do not look at the tree. Line do not look
117
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:16.960
at the tree. Line do not look at the tree.
118
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:23.519
Line, WELL i would be lying IF i said that
119
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:29.879
wasn't a bit. Eerie could it be a frequency outside
120
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:34.039
of our normal, listening or maybe an echo of a
121
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:39.519
warning from the, past our, past though that's a little
122
00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:45.200
harder to. Say BUT i promise you our radio waves
123
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:49.960
aren't trying to trick you into anything beyond supporting our.
124
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:58.159
Sponsors that's The Randall burr promise perfect TIMING boyd heading
125
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:03.440
back To. ASIA a small village In, Rajasthan, india as
126
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:08.799
local saying an abandoned hilltop temple has begun ringing its
127
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:15.600
bells every night at three seventeen. Am residents report that
128
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:20.960
the sound continues for exactly four, minutes even when the
129
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:26.879
temple doors are locked and the interior is. EMPTY a
130
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:31.600
local official dismissed it as, pranksters though no footprints or
131
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:36.720
signs of entry could be. FOUND i Swear i'm smarter
132
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.840
than EVEN i, thought because we're, back yet again to
133
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:46.000
the basest of elements on this rock of, ours frequency.
134
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:51.000
VIBRATION i don't mean to sound like a broken, record
135
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:56.440
but it just keeps coming. Up the first vibrations to
136
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:00.639
exist were from The Big bang. Itself in a, way
137
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:04.120
everything from the alarm you wake up to to the
138
00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:07.279
sound of your wife nagging you to finish raking the
139
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:12.480
leaves is inspired by the cosmic beginning of it. All
140
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.480
i'm just, kidding, JEN i Swear i'll get to it.
141
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.879
Tomorrow whether you are a dyed in the wool believer
142
00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:25.600
or just a casual observer of the strange and, paranormal
143
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:31.600
you can't help but appreciate the poetry of that reality
144
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:37.519
where all just echoes of the greatest event ever. Known,
145
00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:43.320
Woof after all that, PONTIFICATING i THINK i need a,
146
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:55.080
drink just flat, water my. Friends, Sadly, sadly transportation officials
147
00:12:55.159 --> 00:13:00.159
near a Desolate nevada highway interchange say several traffic cameras
148
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:04.480
captured a, tall human like figure cross the road over
149
00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:08.759
a six hour. Period see, honey me taking a couple
150
00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:13.279
of weeks to bag up some leaves seems pretty fast in, comparison. Right,
151
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:19.159
oddly troopers sent to investigate found no one, there and
152
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.720
the figure does not appear on dash cams from the
153
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:28.120
vehicle's passing at the. Time we actually have an eyewitness
154
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.480
to the events on the. Line thank you so much
155
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:34.840
for joining us On lost in The void to share your.
156
00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:38.720
EXPERIENCE i know you've requested your name not be, given
157
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:43.399
AND i can't SAY i blame. You you say you witnessed
158
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:44.279
this figure for.
159
00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:47.440
YOURSELF i appreciate you having me. On of, Course i've
160
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:49.440
gone back and forth on WHETHER i should talk about
161
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:52.159
it publicly at, all because once you say something like
162
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:55.639
this out, loud people start fitting you for a tinfoil. Hat,
163
00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:59.360
YEAH i get, that but, YES i saw it myself
164
00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:03.360
with my eyes on that stretch of, highway not on a,
165
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.639
screen not later on some clip somebody sent. ME i
166
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.039
was there behind the wheel and whatever that thing, was
167
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:13.240
it crossed right in front of.
168
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:17.200
Me reports called it human. Like would you say that's
169
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:21.559
fair or has reporting tried to shift the narrative in
170
00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:22.720
a different.
171
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.639
Direction human like is, fair and the same way a
172
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:28.720
mannequin is human, like, okay or something you catch out
173
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:30.679
of the corner of your eye and your brain rushes
174
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.080
into label before it really knows what it's looking. At
175
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.840
H So, NO i don't think that wording is the
176
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.320
media trying to spin it into something more. Sensational if,
177
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:43.240
ANYTHING i think it softens it because IF i say a,
178
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:47.759
person that isn't, right and IF i say a creature
179
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:50.279
that sounds Like i'm trying to sell a monster.
180
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.200
Story right, right WHAT.
181
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:55.360
I saw looked enough like a person to trigger that recognition,
182
00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:58.960
immediately head, shoulders.
183
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:00.559
Arms legs upright.
184
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:04.759
Posture but the longer you, looked the less human it.
185
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:10.480
Felt the proportions were, off the movement was, off and
186
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:14.759
more than anyone, detail there was this absence to, it
187
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:19.039
like it occupied space, visually but not physically the way
188
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:23.879
a living person. Should, so, yes human like is probably
189
00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:26.919
the most honest phrase for. It all, Right But i'll
190
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:29.919
tell you, this if you had seen it, yourself you
191
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:33.159
would not have come away, thinking, oh that was just
192
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:34.159
some guy crossing the.
193
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:37.759
ROAD i hope my journalistic demeanor hasn't made you THINK
194
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:43.120
i don't think this is interesting and. Unnerving was it
195
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:47.000
animal like or more like a? Person?
196
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:50.080
Absolutely more like a? Person, okay it was.
197
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:53.679
Upright the whole, time two, legs two, arms head where
198
00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:56.120
it ought to. Be it wasn't hunched over like an,
199
00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:59.159
animal and it didn't move on all fours or anything like.
200
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:02.240
That if you'd caught just a split second look at,
201
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:04.879
it you'd have said it was a tall man crossing the.
202
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:07.879
Highway but the REASON i can't just leave it at
203
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.080
that is because the closer it got to the center
204
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:14.320
of my, headlights the less natural it. Seemed not, animal,
205
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:17.279
no but not fully comfortably human.
206
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:17.639
Either.
207
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.120
Okay it moved with this eerie kind of. Purpose no,
208
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:26.399
startle no reaction to the, car no little adjustments people
209
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:27.639
make when they realize they're in.
210
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:28.120
Danger.
211
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:34.759
Hmm an animal, darts freezes, bolts a person, flinches shields their,
212
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:39.559
face turns their head. Something this thing just kept, going
213
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:41.879
like the road in my truck meant nothing to.
214
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:42.039
It.
215
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:46.200
Wow so if you're asking me to, choose i'd say person,
216
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:49.000
shaped not person person?
217
00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:53.799
Shaped all, Right, well did you attempt to document.
218
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:53.799
It in the?
219
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:54.159
Moment?
220
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:56.720
No AND i know people always want to ask, that
221
00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:59.360
AND i get. It but when you're driving on a
222
00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:02.039
dark stretch of highway at two in the morning and
223
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:05.039
something steps out in front of your, vehicle your first
224
00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:08.720
instinct is not let me grab my. Phone your first
225
00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:10.839
instinct is don't hit it or don't.
226
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:11.599
Die that's.
227
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:14.119
Fair WHAT i did do was pull over about maybe
228
00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:16.960
a quarter mile. Up ONCE i got myself under, control
229
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:20.440
my hands were shaking so BAD i fumbled my phone
230
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:23.200
the first TIME i tried unlocking. IT i took a
231
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:26.160
few pictures of the road behind, me the, shoulder the
232
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:28.839
area WHERE i THOUGHT i saw it, cross but of
233
00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:32.319
course there was nothing there by, then just black top and.
234
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:35.880
Darkness WHEN i heard there was traffic camera footage from
235
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:39.160
roughly the same, stretch that's when it really turned my blood,
236
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:42.440
cold because then it wasn't just my word against my
237
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:47.440
own nerves. Anymore something was there or at least something showed.
238
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:52.000
Up did you make an attempt to contact authorities about
239
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:54.400
what you'd? Encountered not right.
240
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:58.200
AWAY i pulled over, first tried to calm myself, down
241
00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:01.240
and spent a few minutes argue with myself about what
242
00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:05.160
EXACTLY i would even. Say fair concern there's something on
243
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:08.839
the highway is one. THING i saw something that looked
244
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:10.759
like a person until it didn't is.
245
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:12.559
ANOTHER i knew.
246
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:15.480
How that would, sound but, YES i did call it.
247
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:16.880
IN i kept it.
248
00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:19.880
SIMPLE i Said i'd seen a figure crossing the road
249
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:22.480
on that, stretch that it could be a, hazard that
250
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:25.480
somebody might be out. THERE i did not give them
251
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:28.920
the whole stranger side of it at, first FAIR i
252
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:32.319
just wanted someone to check the. Area the operator asked
253
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:35.880
if it was a, pedestrian AND i remember, HESITATING i
254
00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:39.920
SAID i think, so because that was the closest honest
255
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:43.240
ANSWER i. HAD i gave them my location as BEST i.
256
00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:46.160
Could later, on AFTER i started hearing there may have
257
00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:49.200
been camera footage from near that same, AREA i did
258
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:52.319
speak to someone again and gave a fuller. Account and
259
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:54.880
you can hear the temperature and the conversation change when
260
00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:58.759
you move from possible person on roadway to describing how
261
00:18:58.759 --> 00:18:59.640
it looked and how it.
262
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:01.799
Moved AND i can imagine.
263
00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:03.880
There's this polite silence people get when they're still on
264
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.559
the line with, you but they've already decided they know
265
00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:07.279
what you are.
266
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:11.000
With footage confirmed to have captured something on the. Road
267
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:16.119
did they attempt to offer you any? Explanation not a real.
268
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:16.359
One.
269
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:22.680
No what they offered were, possibilities, reflections compression, artifacts a
270
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:26.839
person outside the camera's effective, depth heat, shimmer even which
271
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:28.839
out there at that hour didn't make.
272
00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:30.039
A lot of sense to, me not at.
273
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.720
All one of them mentioned frame, interpolation like the system
274
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.160
had somehow built a figure out of bad visual. Information
275
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:40.319
that was the closest anyone came to putting a label on.
276
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:40.519
It.
277
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:42.480
Wow but here's the problem with.
278
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:45.880
That those explanations might work if all you had was the.
279
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:48.640
Footage if this were just a weird shape on a
280
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.880
traffic monitor and nobody had seen anything in, person then
281
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:55.200
sure you can start talking about glitches and lensing and
282
00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:59.319
digital ghosts in the. MACHINE i understand, that BUT i
283
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:02.200
was there RIGHT i saw it with my own eyes
284
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:05.359
BEFORE i ever knew there was camera. Footage so when
285
00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:07.440
they start explaining the footage to me as if the
286
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.759
footage is the entire. Event it feels like they're answering
287
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:12.720
a smaller question than the One i'm.
288
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:14.200
Asking trying to control the.
289
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:16.920
Narrative they kept circling back to what the camera may have.
290
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:19.839
CAPTURED i kept trying to bring them back to what
291
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:24.039
was actually on that. Road and the unsettling part was
292
00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:26.720
once they REALIZED i wasn't backing off the fact THAT
293
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:31.440
i saw it, myself the explanations got, vaguer not, clearer less,
294
00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:36.160
technical more like these systems pick up strange things, sometimes
295
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:39.680
which may be, true but that's not an. Explanation, no
296
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:42.480
that's a way of ending the conversation without saying.
297
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:43.519
You don't, know a total.
298
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:47.319
Blowoff so, no nobody gave me an explanation that accounted
299
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:48.160
for both things at.
300
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.559
Once that is so. Bizarre they were almost answering the
301
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:57.079
questions they would prefer you'd, asked rather than listening to,
302
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:01.599
you almost like it was a. Script have you spoken
303
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:06.559
to anyone else that saw the figure or anyone investigating
304
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:09.279
it outside of the very helpful.
305
00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:11.759
AUTHORITIES i have spoken to a couple of other.
306
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.359
People one was another, driver not that same, night but
307
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:17.279
within a day or two of it becoming a local,
308
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:21.000
story he reached out through somebody who knew somebody that
309
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:23.480
kind of. Thing he didn't want his name out there.
310
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:26.720
Either said he saw something tall on the shoulder just
311
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:29.880
past one of the camera, points early, morning still. Dark
312
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:32.839
he told. Me the strangest part wasn't what it looked.
313
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:35.319
Like it was that when his headlights hit, it he
314
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:38.880
expected a. Reaction sounds, familiar but it just stayed, there
315
00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:41.880
almost like it didn't register him at. All the other
316
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.440
person wasn't a witness, exactly more like a county employee
317
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:48.119
who'd heard enough hallway talk to know something odd had.
318
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:52.359
Happened he was careful with his, words never said, yes
319
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:56.440
this is, real never said the footage proves. Anything but
320
00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:58.279
he did tell me there was a lot more interest
321
00:21:58.359 --> 00:22:01.440
in shutting down speculation than you'd expect for a simple camera.
322
00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:04.480
Glitch But i'll tell you what stuck with. ME a
323
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:08.680
woman called, me older, woman very, calm not dramatic at,
324
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:11.240
all said her brother used to drive freight through that
325
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:14.559
area years, ago and he had one. Rule if you
326
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:17.759
ever saw someone crossing out there late at night and
327
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:20.960
they didn't react to your, lights you kept. Driving, oh
328
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:24.359
you did not, stop you did not turn, around you
329
00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:28.319
did not go. LOOKING i asked her, why and she,
330
00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:31.920
said because if it wants to be, seen you're already too.
331
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:38.559
Close that is sincerely. CHILLING i really appreciate you taking
332
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:41.920
the time to share your experience with us here. Tonight
333
00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:46.319
i'd say it's safe to assume you'll be avoiding that
334
00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:49.119
stretch of road for the foreseeable.
335
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:51.079
Future, yeah without.
336
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:53.799
QUESTION i, mean, Look i'm not a superstitious man by.
337
00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:56.880
Nature i've driven lonely roads my whole. Life you see
338
00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.000
strange things out in the desert. Sometimes i've always believed
339
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:02.480
most things have an, explanation even if it takes a
340
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:03.079
while to find.
341
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:04.839
It but that's stretch of.
342
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:10.759
Road no Not. Now maybe that sounds dramatic to some people,
343
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:14.200
listening but there's a difference between being spooked and feeling
344
00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:17.279
in your bones that you were in the presence of
345
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:20.079
something you were never meant to. Notice and that's what
346
00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:23.440
this felt, Like not LIKE i stumbled onto a, Mystery
347
00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:26.680
LIKE i crossed paths with something that had always been,
348
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:31.359
there and for one moment it let me see. It so,
349
00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:35.519
Yes i'll go the long way around happily And i'll

00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:50.920
brain catches up and, says, no that's a, sign or

world getting up early was. An understatement the show went
390
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:30.240
live at. Six am talent would arrive at five am to,
391
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:34.400

00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:39.279
at three am pulling the, news stories prepping sound effects,
393
00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:45.640
and music the. Whole, shebang now this wasn't. Before computers
394
00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:50.680
i'm not, that old but you couldn't just aggregate news.
395
00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:55.200
Pieces easily you had to scour, the internet and the
396
00:26:55.319 --> 00:27:01.279
connection speed was lacking to say. The least so, one
397
00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:04.839
morning really the middle of the night is far. More
398
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:08.799
accurate i'm on my way to. THE station i lived
399
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:12.960
almost an, hour away, BUT hey i needed a job.
400
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:16.720
In RADIO so i would get in my car coffee
401
00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:21.079
in hand at, two am smile on, my face tan,
402
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:25.839
do attitude and a prior to cups of coffee already
403
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:30.920
coursing through. My veins once my hands, stopped shaking it
404
00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:36.240
was a pretty PEACEFUL drive i learned. To, appreciate however,
405
00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:40.920
one night going up the dark state route In, RURAL
406
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:46.920
iowa i noticed something strange off in. THE distance i
407
00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:51.079
swear it was, a hitchhiker but this was well after
408
00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:56.720
hitchhiking had fallen out. Of fashion some people blame murky
409
00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:00.079
state laws that put it in a gray area. Of,
410
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:05.400
LEGALITY personally i Always Blamed Henry, lee LUCAS but. I
411
00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:10.319
digress it was a particularly groggy drive, for ME so
412
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:14.319
i had my windows down to get some cool air on.
413
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:18.880
My FACE as i drove past this man standing on
414
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:21.599
the side of, THE road i got a. Better look
415
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:27.440
he was Wearing a. Canadian tuxedo for those of you lacking,
416
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:32.920
in culture that is referring to denim on denim jean
417
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:36.720
jacket and a pair. Of jeans seemed a little out,
418
00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:41.319
of style but BACK then i, wore Turtlenecks so i'm
419
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:46.440
not about to judge anyone's. Fashion, SENSE subconsciously i slowed
420
00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:49.759
DOWN as i was gaining up. On him he was,
421
00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:52.599
facing AWAY and i was the ONLY car i had
422
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:56.359
seen on that road in. A while even with my
423
00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:01.880
lights blasting, on him he didn't seem, to notice just.
424
00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:06.839
Standing there JUST as i was about right next, to
425
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:11.640
him he turned suddenly to, face ME and i swear
426
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:15.720
it was like he whipped his. Whole body his eyes
427
00:29:16.119 --> 00:29:19.319
snapped to mine like, a MAGNET and i could feel the.
428
00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:23.000
Eye contact he raised his hand up at that exact
429
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:28.119
moment and opened his mouth wide like he was screaming his.
430
00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:32.359
HEAD off i didn't get the sense he was scared
431
00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:36.039
or desperate from being stranded on the side of. The
432
00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:41.400
road it was it was something else. More PRIMAL as
433
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:45.880
i kept driving in silence thinking ABOUT what i, HAD
434
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:51.240
seen i couldn't shake that feeling of him staring right.
435
00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:55.000
At me after a minute, OR two i decided to
436
00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:58.960
roll up. MY window, i mean he can't be, too.
437
00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:03.880
CAREFUL right i rolled up my driver's. Side, FIRST no
438
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:07.839
i didn't use a hand, crank again not that. Old
439
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:12.160
jeez as the window, WENT up i could hear the
440
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:17.200
wind whistle and stop in my. Left EAR as i
441
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:21.039
rolled up the passenger, SIDE window i moved my eyes
442
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:25.559
back to, the road and then out of the corner of,
443
00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:30.960
MY eye I swear i saw a hand going straight for.
444
00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:35.519
MY face i swerved the. Wheel slightly thankfully the road was.
445
00:30:35.559 --> 00:30:41.119
Still EMPTY as i regained my composure and managed to
446
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:44.720
look around, the car all that stood out Was My
447
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:50.000
jolly roger air freshener hanging from the rear. View mirror
448
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:55.079
it was jostling in the slight breeze coming from the
449
00:30:55.160 --> 00:31:00.720
WINDOW that i hadn't. QUITE closed i convinced myself that
450
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:04.720
it was my tired eyes playing tricks. ON me i
451
00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:09.000
shouldn't drive. So tired, of course by THAT point i
452
00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:12.880
had never been so awake in. MY life i headed
453
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:16.079
the rest of the way to, the station wide eyed.
454
00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:20.880
And sweating from that NIGHT on i always got a
455
00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:25.640
full eight hours before heading to, the station no, Matter
456
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.359
what AND whenever i drove that road at night heading,
457
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:34.680
INTO work i would keep my windows rolled up and
458
00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:40.039
my eyes on. The road so that's, my story? What's

you described, BUT you know i pretty much live. On
473
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:28.799
the road i've been finding myself more and more creeked.
474
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:31.559
Out sounds? Juicy do.
475
00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:34.559
Explain you know a, FEW weeks ago i was making
476
00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:39.079
A run From georgia TO manitoba and i stopped at
477
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:41.599
a truck Stop outside of lexington to gas up and.
478
00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:45.000
Grab a BIKE and while i. WAS settling up i
479
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:49.720
noticed the cashiers just, kind of.
480
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:53.599
Off like looked. Strange or no he.
481
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:57.359
Looked totally normal like the, definition of. Average you know
482
00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:00.720
but the only thing that stuck out about him is
483
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:02.680
he seemed to be incapable of.
484
00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:06.400
Making. SMALL talk, hmmm i, mean you know it's, LATE.
485
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:06.920
At night i was.
486
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:08.960
FEEDING the restless i just wanted to chit chat. FOR
487
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:12.319
a second i asked him how long, he'd worked here
488
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:14.519
and he just he just. Stared at me but.
489
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:17.160
He did manage to cast, You, out, right.
490
00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:19.799
Yeah yeah yeah he ASKED me if i found, everything
491
00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:22.799
ALL right AND i, said i had and.
492
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:24.599
He said good and He asked if i'd had.
493
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:26.359
A good night i said it was, a long one
494
00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:28.640
and he just he just looked at me and he
495
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:30.960
went back to work. On the register it is ODD
496
00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:34.920
and when i started with, a small talk he just stared,
497
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:37.680
at me, again you, know all blank like the.
498
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:42.160
Gen z stare i've, Seen that before like they've never
499
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:47.039
talked Outside of a. Zoom, MEETING room yeah i, Thought.
500
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:49.200
That too and he, was pretty young, AND you know
501
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:51.519
i chalked it up to awkwardness and never really thought.
502
00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:54.559
About it more BUT then after i dropped My.
503
00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:58.319
LOAD in manitoba i was gassing up to head out
504
00:33:58.400 --> 00:33:59.240
for a pickup about one.
505
00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:01.720
Hundred. Miles AWAY way when i walk up, to the.
506
00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:07.680
Counter it's it's the same guy standing there and in,
507
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:09.199
the same outfit.
508
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:11.440
Like deja, vous.
509
00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:15.079
Not exactly because it was a totally. DIFFERENT truck, stop
510
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:19.039
i mean this one was rural. And PRETTY small all
511
00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:21.719
i bought was a bag of chips. And mixtin gun
512
00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:25.079
he ASKED me if i found, everything ALL right and,
513
00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:27.960
i said yes and he said good AND asked if
514
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.440
i was having, a good, night you know exactly the,
515
00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:31.840
same as before.
516
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:33.360
Exactly the same.
517
00:34:33.639 --> 00:34:37.679

In.
557
00:37:05.039 --> 00:37:08.679
Grand island welcome mine was out on a county road,
558
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:11.760
north of town maybe. FOUR years ago i was driving
559
00:37:11.800 --> 00:37:14.039
back from, my sister's PLACE later than, i meant to
560
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:18.079
and there was this pick up behind, me for, miles not,
561
00:37:18.239 --> 00:37:23.039
tailgating not passing just staying the exact same distance back
562
00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:27.280
and on an. Empty dark road, after a while that
563
00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:31.239
starts to get, under, Your SKIN agreed so i sped.
564
00:37:31.320 --> 00:37:35.039
Up a little it, stayed with me slowed, down a.
565
00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:39.239
LITTLE same distance, I, remember thinking.
566
00:37:39.800 --> 00:37:41.440
Okay this is.
567
00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:43.519
How people disappear.
568
00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:45.719
I've had that thought cross my mind. A FEW times
569
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:46.440
then i.
570
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:48.480
Came up on a turn off and took it, kind
571
00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:50.199
of sudden just to lose.
572
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:50.599
Whoever.
573
00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:58.719
It was randal there was no truck, behind me, anymore no, headlights, no.
574
00:37:58.880 --> 00:38:01.440
Engine noise nothing.
575
00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:04.280
Did you manage to get a peek at the driver
576
00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:08.039
at any point, in, this, encounter no.
577
00:38:08.199 --> 00:38:11.599
Sir not once that was part of what made. IT
578
00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:15.519
so unnerving i could see the headlights, plain as day
579
00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:18.760
but they sat just right where the glare kept me
580
00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:22.800
from making out anything, in the, cab no, face, no
581
00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:29.360
SHAPE nothing and i did look. More than once by the,
582
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:32.199
END of it i was less scared of who the
583
00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:35.880
DRIVER was than i was of the idea there might not.
584
00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:39.400
Have been one as a, WOMAN traveling alone i can
585
00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:43.880
imagine it feeling like a. Like a nightmare you're sure
586
00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:48.119
he didn't manage to turn off before you. LOOK back,
587
00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:49.199
AGAIN i.
588
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:51.320
Mean i can't swear to it in a, court OF
589
00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:55.679
law but i. Don't think SO that's what i, told myself,
590
00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:59.679
later of course that maybe there was a field ENTRENCE or,
591
00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:03.840
As i missed but it was flat out there randall
592
00:39:04.639 --> 00:39:07.960
OPEN enough that I feel like i should have seen headlights.
593
00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:12.679
Swing off somewhere what bothered me was how. Instant it
594
00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:16.760
was one second those, lights were there, steady behind me
595
00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:18.880
and THE next time i checked.
596
00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:23.400
Just black road worried that he was following you and
597
00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:25.639
now he's in, waiting.
598
00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:29.599
Or something not that a truck, was following me that
599
00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:34.079
it seemed to stop, existing between glances almost.
600
00:39:33.800 --> 00:39:36.360
Like it had taken an exit back to. Its own
601
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:41.400
dimension maybe he realized he was. Late For supper thanks denise.
602
00:39:41.440 --> 00:39:45.639
For your call. Appreciate you caller you're. On, the, Air,
603

Randall this Is Cal.
605
00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:50.800
AND north plaid i used to do, some Nighttime hauling
606
00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:53.800
and i'll tell you the worst roads are the ones
607
00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:57.079
where there's nothing out there but fields in, your own
608
00:39:57.199 --> 00:40:01.119
headlights your minds starts filling in.
609
00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:03.719
The blanks as minds are. Wont to, DO.
610
00:40:04.519 --> 00:40:07.280
One night i was coming down a Gravel road outside
611
00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:11.280
brady and kept seeing what looked like somebody walking along,
612
00:40:11.320 --> 00:40:15.679
the fence line staying just. Ahead of ME every time,
613
00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:20.239
i got close there'd. Be nothing there then a little
614
00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:21.639
farther up there.
615
00:40:21.679 --> 00:40:22.360
It was again.
616
00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:28.239
Happened THREE times finally i stopped the truck and got out,
617
00:40:28.239 --> 00:40:31.159
with a FLASHLIGHT and all i could hear was the
618
00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:35.679
wind and those. Fence wires humming never found a, soul
619
00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:38.480
out there got back in the cab and drove home
620
00:40:38.599 --> 00:40:39.840
a whole Lot faster.
621
00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:41.280
Than i'd planned.
622
00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:45.239
Don't take this, the WRONG way but, i gotta ask
623
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:48.440
what on earth made you want to get out and?
624
00:40:48.679 --> 00:40:50.840
Look for him part stupidity.
625
00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:55.239
And Part pride if, I'm being honest after, THE third
626
00:40:55.280 --> 00:40:59.280
time i got more. Annoyed than scared you start thinking
627
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:03.679
either somebody's messing With me or i'm letting a row
628
00:41:03.719 --> 00:41:07.480
of fence posts make a fool, out OF me and
629
00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:10.679
i think there's something in a man that hates being
630
00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:11.519
scared by.
631
00:41:11.519 --> 00:41:11.960
His own.
632
00:41:12.079 --> 00:41:14.679
Headlights relatable content.
633
00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:18.480
AS soon as, i, stepped out though that confidence went missing.
634
00:41:18.519 --> 00:41:21.880
In a hurry old road fell different with, the engine
635
00:41:21.880 --> 00:41:27.000
off too quiet except for those wires singing.
636
00:41:27.039 --> 00:41:31.039
In the dark was it at least playing, A, familiar, tune.
637
00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:35.519
No sir, just that high lonesome hum fence wire gets
638
00:41:35.960 --> 00:41:36.239
when the.
639
00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:40.880
Wind. Hits It right but i'll, tell you this when
640
00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:41.960
you're standing.
641
00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:44.920
Out there, alone at night it doesn't have to be
642
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:48.840
a melody to get. Under your skin it just has
643
00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:53.360
to sound almost human enough that you start listening harder than.
644
00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:57.960
You ought to mysterious hitchhikers standing on the side of
645
00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:01.760

00:42:01.840 --> 00:42:07.159

Hasting welcome SIR creepiest thing.
652
00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:25.400
I ever had was driving home on a farm road
653
00:42:25.480 --> 00:42:28.760
after midnight and seeing a porch light way out, in
654
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:32.599
the distance just sitting, there by itself no. HOUSE around
655
00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:35.760
it i could make out just that. ONE yellow light
656
00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:38.280
i used it to keep my bearings for. A FEW
657
00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:41.039
miles then i came over a hill and it was
658
00:42:41.079 --> 00:42:44.400
suddenly right there, on my left hanging from a post
659
00:42:44.440 --> 00:42:48.000
in the middle of. An empty, field no, house no,
660
00:42:48.199 --> 00:42:52.400
driveway no barn just a lit porch lamp with maths
661
00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:55.719
around it and nothing under. IT but dirt i did
662
00:42:55.760 --> 00:42:59.800
not stop to investigate that Particular piece of. Nebraska real estate.
663
00:43:00.599 --> 00:43:04.400
Was there at least. An old foundation maybe someone had
664
00:43:04.480 --> 00:43:07.719
torn down a structure and left the light, for the
665
00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:09.079
REBUILD not that i.
666
00:43:09.119 --> 00:43:13.079
Could, see RANDALL now granted i wasn't exactly conducting a.
667
00:43:13.159 --> 00:43:16.719
SURVEY out there, i slowed down leaned over the wheel.
668
00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:19.920
And LOOKED hard but i didn't, see any slab no,
669
00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:23.840
pile of lumber, no driveway gravel nothing that said a
670
00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:27.079
house had, ever stood there just that light burning like.
671
00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:32.679
It Expected company oof and maybe there was, a sensible
672
00:43:32.760 --> 00:43:35.280
explanation but it was one of those sites that.
673
00:43:35.280 --> 00:43:37.199
Feels wrong faster than your brain.
674
00:43:37.239 --> 00:43:38.639
Can EXPLAIN it so.
675
00:43:38.760 --> 00:43:40.039
I kept driving.
676
00:43:39.960 --> 00:43:44.599
That's the thing. About dark roads when, things get eerie
677
00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:47.599
you put the pedal to the metal and gun it
678
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:52.760

00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:22.840
i came over a rise and caught something on the
690
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:25.880
right side, of the road crouched. In the DITCH at
691
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:29.760
first i took it. For a deer then. It stood
692
00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:33.159
up oh too tall for a man to be, comfortable
693
00:44:33.159 --> 00:44:36.159
looking at and too LEAN for anything i know. How to,
694
00:44:36.280 --> 00:44:41.880
name long, arms narrow shoulders head kind of tipped forward like.
695
00:44:41.920 --> 00:44:47.320
It was listening, it didn't, run didn't spook just turned
696
00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:50.440
a little and watched my. Truck Go by and i'll
697
00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:53.039
tell you, The, HONEST truth randal i did.
698
00:44:53.079 --> 00:44:56.719
Not look back how tall are? We talking here.
699
00:44:56.719 --> 00:44:58.880
Taller than a man ought to be standing in a
700
00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:02.519
ditch and he'll look higher than the road seven feet,
701
00:45:02.599 --> 00:45:06.960
maybe maybe more but that's with fear doing. Some MEASURING
702
00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:10.519
too what i know is when, it rose up it
703
00:45:10.599 --> 00:45:13.960
did it in, one smooth motion and my brain quit
704
00:45:14.039 --> 00:45:15.599
trying to make it. Into, A deer.
705
00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:18.440

the road whether driving a big rig like, many of you,
718
00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:22.639
faithful listeners do, strange pit stops trips you've made a
719
00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:28.679
million times that take more than, a wrong turn and even, hotels,
720
00:46:28.760 --> 00:46:33.679
and motels which, BY the way i swear most are haunted.

In some way but, that's. Just me caller you are
722
00:46:39.079 --> 00:46:40.800

724
00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:44.840
Evan and McCook.
725
00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:46.639
Thanks for calling i've had.
726
00:46:46.559 --> 00:46:49.960
An uncomfortable experience repeat itself at truck stops, in different
727
00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:52.960
places and after a while it stopped. Feeling like.
728
00:46:53.039 --> 00:46:55.679
Coincidence i'm intrigued.
729
00:46:55.880 --> 00:46:59.519
The first Time, was outside lexington just a tired man
730
00:46:59.559 --> 00:47:02.360
at the, count buying coffee looking at me a. Little
731
00:47:02.360 --> 00:47:07.119
too long not like he, knew me exactly more like he.
732
00:47:07.239 --> 00:47:10.000
Was trying to HE asked if i was. From, around
733
00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:14.039
there okay nothing wrong with that, on its face but
734
00:47:14.119 --> 00:47:16.519
there was something in the way he asked it that put,
735
00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:20.239
me on edge like the question mattered more to him than.
736
00:47:20.239 --> 00:47:23.360
It should HAVE and then i saw him again, at another,
737
00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:29.039
stop different place, entirely different, weather same man, same searching
738
00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:34.880
look same little hesitation, before he spoke and again the
739
00:47:35.039 --> 00:47:38.280
questions HOW long had? I worked there had?
740
00:47:38.320 --> 00:47:38.360
We?
741
00:47:38.519 --> 00:47:43.880
Met before well, By, THAT point randall i started to
742
00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:47.000
feel like this man wasn't recognizing me so much as
743
00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:50.440
trying to make me confirm. Something for HIM and, when
744
00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:54.199
I didn't when i just kept, the interaction normal he
745
00:47:54.239 --> 00:47:57.400
looked AT me like i was the one. Making it strange.
746
00:47:57.440 --> 00:48:02.480
Well that that would BE unsaid but i. Have to
747
00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:06.440
ask you said you saw him, At another stop so
748
00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:09.760
do you work at? Multiple?
749
00:48:09.880 --> 00:48:15.119
Truck stops yes or near enough to yes that most
750
00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:20.320
people would not bother. SEPARATING the two i AM assigned where.
751
00:48:20.360 --> 00:48:23.760
I am needed that is the practical way. To, put
752
00:48:23.760 --> 00:48:28.440
it okay some locations are more, temporary than others some
753
00:48:28.559 --> 00:48:32.119
ARE familiar. Before i arrived it is not unusual for
754
00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:35.199
me to be in one place and then another and
755
00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:40.119
have the work feel. Essentially, the same okay realize that. May,
756
00:48:40.199 --> 00:48:43.320
SOUND evasive yeah i do not mean. IT that way
757
00:48:44.159 --> 00:48:46.679
i only mean that he seemed much more troubled by
758
00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:49.320
SEEING me where i was supposed TO be than i
759
00:48:49.519 --> 00:48:51.400
was by seeing him where.
760
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:57.280
He was not so you're. A traveling cashier I can't
761
00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:01.159
say i've ever really heard of. That one before you understand.
762
00:49:01.199 --> 00:49:05.480
How that sounds cashier is close enough. For most purposes
763
00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:10.039
the work is, not always identical but, is, public facing
764
00:49:10.440 --> 00:49:14.880
transactional and usually. Done at night that is the simplest way.
765
00:49:14.920 --> 00:49:18.280
To describe it and, TO be fair i had not heard,
766
00:49:18.320 --> 00:49:24.159
of him either and yet there. He was repeatedly so
767
00:49:24.280 --> 00:49:26.679
perhaps we both encountered something a little outside.
768
00:49:26.719 --> 00:49:32.000
The usual categories, so you're saying this odd customer. Was
769
00:49:32.920 --> 00:49:36.920
following you is it that unusual to see the same
770
00:49:37.039 --> 00:49:41.000
folks that the truck stops? You work at, Not, At.
771
00:49:40.840 --> 00:49:45.239
First no but you see the same, types of, people similar.
772
00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:51.239
Faces similar habits the road, has its regulars even when
773
00:49:51.239 --> 00:49:52.480
they are not regular in.
774
00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:52.599
The.
775
00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:57.199
Traditional sense okay what made this feel different WAS not
776
00:49:57.280 --> 00:50:00.079
that i saw him. More than once it was the
777
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:02.920
the way he looked at, me each time as though
778
00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:06.159
each encounter was carrying over from the last one IN
779
00:50:06.199 --> 00:50:10.039
a way i had. Not agreed to most repeat customers,
780
00:50:10.119 --> 00:50:14.559
recognize you casually, if at, all a nod, a little
781
00:50:14.559 --> 00:50:19.960
familiarity maybe a. Joke about coffee this man looked at
782
00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:23.360
me like he WAS checking whether i had CHANGED and
783
00:50:23.400 --> 00:50:26.559
when i had not or had not in the. Way
784
00:50:26.599 --> 00:50:28.719
he wanted that seemed.
785
00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:33.880
To disturb him i'm still trying to wrap my mind around.
786
00:50:33.920 --> 00:50:37.440
This whole thing what exactly did he? Say to you
787
00:50:38.039 --> 00:50:42.119
were these truck stops in, The, same area.
788
00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:46.320
No that was. Part of it not, the same area
789
00:50:47.440 --> 00:50:50.119
far enough apart that the second time should have felt
790
00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:54.639
incidental and the third time should. Have felt wrong what
791
00:50:54.760 --> 00:50:58.440
he said. Was never dramatic that is almost what. Made,
792
00:50:58.519 --> 00:51:03.480
it worse okay ordinary questions asked with too much. Weight
793
00:51:03.559 --> 00:51:07.639
behind them HE asked whether i had, always WORKED nights
794
00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:11.360
whether i was. From around there once he asked very
795
00:51:11.400 --> 00:51:15.280
directly if we, had, Met before right and there was
796
00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:19.360
another question he asked, more than once though not in exactly.
797
00:51:19.440 --> 00:51:23.400
The same words he wanted to KNOW how long i,
798
00:51:23.440 --> 00:51:28.920
had been, there not employed not scheduled there as though
799
00:51:28.920 --> 00:51:31.079
he was not asking, about a shift but.
800
00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:37.039
About, my presence okay and what were your answers? TO his,
801
00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:42.320
questions i mean you, had met before as, YOU just mentioned.
802
00:51:42.559 --> 00:51:45.800
I answered AS plainly. As i could, THE first time
803
00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:49.760
i told him, whatever was sufficient the kind of answer
804
00:51:49.760 --> 00:51:53.960
that closes a conversation instead. Of opening, one after that
805
00:51:54.880 --> 00:51:59.960
less and, Less, and yes randall that, is the. Difficult
806
00:52:00.199 --> 00:52:04.320
isn't it by, the later encounters we had, Technically met
807
00:52:04.360 --> 00:52:07.679
before but that was not what he meant. When he
808
00:52:07.719 --> 00:52:11.679
asked he was asking as if there were supposed to
809
00:52:11.719 --> 00:52:18.079
be a deeper, continuity between, us something, recognized something CONFIRMED
810
00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:22.719
as if, i, should say, yes of course. IT'S still
811
00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:26.320
me i did not see any reason to reassure.
812
00:52:26.360 --> 00:52:29.800
HIM of that i hate to, be that guy but
813
00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:35.280
you are being very evasive. With my questions and it
814
00:52:35.400 --> 00:52:39.360
sounds like you were evasive towards this man due to his.
815
00:52:40.920 --> 00:52:47.079
Tone or vibe do you think maybe this could play? Into?
816
00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:53.159
His, REACTION possibly yes i, Have considered that but there
817
00:52:53.239 --> 00:52:57.800
is a difference between being reserved. AND provoking alarm i
818
00:52:57.880 --> 00:53:01.760
was not hostile to. HIM threaten him i did not
819
00:53:01.920 --> 00:53:04.639
raise my voice. OR refuse service i simply did not
820
00:53:04.800 --> 00:53:08.039
participate in the level of familiarity he seemed to.
821
00:53:08.079 --> 00:53:12.880
Want, from me okay but what? Does that mean, he
822
00:53:13.000 --> 00:53:15.760
asked you if you, had met before what did you.
823
00:53:15.840 --> 00:53:19.639
SAY to, that i mean that's a, pretty STRAIGHTFORWARD question.
824
00:53:19.719 --> 00:53:23.360
AND i said i, don't believe so which was the
825
00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:26.400
most accurate answer available to me, at the time because
826
00:53:26.400 --> 00:53:29.559
what he seemed to be asking was not have? Our
827
00:53:29.599 --> 00:53:33.800
paths crossed it, was more like are you? The same
828
00:53:33.840 --> 00:53:37.639
one and that is not a question most people know
829
00:53:38.119 --> 00:53:39.480
how to answer politely at.
830
00:53:39.519 --> 00:53:42.400
A cash register so, You, MISLED him.
831
00:53:42.599 --> 00:53:46.679
No i do. NOT think SO i think i answered
832
00:53:46.679 --> 00:53:50.400
the human version of the. Question he asked if a
833
00:53:50.480 --> 00:53:53.760
man wants to know whether you, remember his face that.
834
00:53:53.920 --> 00:53:56.519
Is one thing if he wants to know whether you
835
00:53:56.639 --> 00:54:00.400
persist from place to place in, the same form that is. A.
836
00:54:00.440 --> 00:54:05.440
Different question entirely he asked you a pretty direct question by.
837
00:54:05.480 --> 00:54:09.079
Your own description don't you think saying you had never
838
00:54:09.199 --> 00:54:14.440
met before when you had would just? Increase his confusion, it's,
839
00:54:15.039 --> 00:54:17.000
CERTAINLY increasing mind.
840
00:54:17.119 --> 00:54:20.679
I, can understand that but confusion. Was, ALREADY present yeah
841
00:54:21.000 --> 00:54:23.880
i did. NOT create it i only declined to organize.
842
00:54:23.880 --> 00:54:27.119
It, for him okay you're. KILLING me here i can't
843
00:54:27.159 --> 00:54:31.000
figure out. What that means my producer is telling me to.
844
00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:35.320
Cut you off but, Lucky for you i'm. A nice
845
00:54:35.360 --> 00:54:40.679
guy i'll give you, one more chance as. Succinctly as
846
00:54:40.880 --> 00:54:45.880
possible what do you do for a living and why
847
00:54:45.920 --> 00:54:52.719
did you mislead this. SUPPOSEDLY odd customer i work nights.
848
00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:57.079
In customer service that doesn't. ANSWER the question.
849
00:54:57.280 --> 00:55:00.679
I sell people what they came. In to buy that.
850
00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:03.320
Is THE job and i did not answer him the
851
00:55:03.320 --> 00:55:06.320
way he wanted because his question was not really, about
852
00:55:06.360 --> 00:55:09.639
the sale, or the store or even whether we had.
853
00:55:09.639 --> 00:55:12.159
Crossed paths before so you're.
854
00:55:12.199 --> 00:55:17.159
A traveling cashier the average cashier makes like thirteen. Bucks
855
00:55:17.239 --> 00:55:20.800
an hour that level of a skilled labor validates some
856
00:55:20.880 --> 00:55:24.360
kind of a. Travel, expense account huh, room and. Board
857
00:55:24.639 --> 00:55:27.920
per diem it sounds to me like you just don't
858
00:55:27.960 --> 00:55:30.360
know how to. Communicate at all.
859
00:55:30.599 --> 00:55:35.079
That, is possible randall but poor communication does not usually
860
00:55:35.119 --> 00:55:37.760
cause the same man to look at you in three
861
00:55:37.760 --> 00:55:41.480
different states as though you have. Failed a, TEST and
862
00:55:41.559 --> 00:55:45.440
no i would not describe myself as. A traveling cashier
863
00:55:46.800 --> 00:55:48.800
that seems to bother you more than. It bothers me.
864
00:55:49.159 --> 00:55:53.800
It bothers me because it doesn't make any sense sending
865
00:55:53.920 --> 00:55:58.880
someone across three states to dispense. COFFEE and snacks i
866
00:55:58.920 --> 00:56:01.119
am trying to get give you the benefit, of the
867
00:56:01.199 --> 00:56:08.280
doubt And right now i'm. Really regretting it i'll try
868
00:56:08.320 --> 00:56:14.480
to make it as. Simple, as possible okay what does
869
00:56:14.519 --> 00:56:19.639
it say on? Your business card? What's the title you
870
00:56:19.719 --> 00:56:23.239
must have one to identify yourself to co workers when
871
00:56:23.239 --> 00:56:27.079
you show up, to, work shifts right especially if they've never,
872
00:56:27.119 --> 00:56:28.559
met you before, because you know it's a.
873
00:56:28.559 --> 00:56:31.760
WHOLE new state i do not, carry business, cards of
874
00:56:31.800 --> 00:56:34.920
course and titles are less useful than you're. Making them
875
00:56:34.960 --> 00:56:39.199
sound but if it, would help you the closest term would.
876
00:56:39.239 --> 00:56:42.920
Probably be attended that is what most people seem to need,
877
00:56:42.960 --> 00:56:44.239
me to be need?
878
00:56:44.280 --> 00:56:47.239
You, to be yeah that would go over great. With,
879
00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:50.400
my boss oh you need me to, host A show
880
00:56:50.480 --> 00:56:53.400
but i am not. A, radio host yes.
881
00:56:54.000 --> 00:56:57.320
That is, A. Reasonable, comparison randall oh except your listeners
882
00:56:57.360 --> 00:56:59.480
would notice if someone else sat in your chair and
883
00:56:59.519 --> 00:57:03.280
failed to. Sound like you in my, line of work
884
00:57:03.599 --> 00:57:07.239
people usually do not. Listen that closely they want coffee
885
00:57:07.719 --> 00:57:12.159
fuel change FROM a. Twenty a receipt the role matters
886
00:57:12.199 --> 00:57:13.079
more to them than the.
887
00:57:13.079 --> 00:57:16.920
Person in it except it didn't in the case of
888
00:57:17.000 --> 00:57:19.920
the Customer. YOU gaslet no.
889
00:57:20.880 --> 00:57:23.519
I think he arrived already unwilling to accept what was in.
890
00:57:23.559 --> 00:57:27.639
Front OF him all i did was refused to help
891
00:57:27.679 --> 00:57:30.119
him turn that. DISCOMFORT into certainty.
892
00:57:30.079 --> 00:57:34.280
I recommend you turn that discomfort into A. Prescription, for,
893
00:57:34.480 --> 00:57:40.280
Zoloft goodbye caller sorry for putting my expectation in you
894
00:57:40.440 --> 00:57:48.239
answering a. Simple, single question, well my FRIENDS my producer

boyd tried to, reel me in but apparently my blood
896
00:57:52.320 --> 00:57:55.800
pressure got the. Best of me if that was, a
897
00:57:56.000 --> 00:58:00.679
prank caller he definitely has a master's. Degree in troll

906
00:58:39.199 --> 00:58:42.719
producer boyd is showing me a caller from all The.
907
00:58:42.760 --> 00:58:46.360
Way in norway that is a first. For us here
908
00:58:46.519 --> 00:58:49.960
not sure if it's the clear night or maybe someone
909
00:58:50.079 --> 00:58:57.119
sharing our, stream online again which we can't legally. Recommend,
910
00:58:57.159 --> 00:59:01.440
you do caller you are laws in The Void. With
911
00:59:01.599 --> 00:59:02.840
randall burr? How?
912
00:59:02.880 --> 00:59:06.760
Are, You, yes hello Randal this.
913
00:59:07.000 --> 00:59:10.760
IS mikael intromsu i do not mean, to DISAPPOINT you
914
00:59:10.840 --> 00:59:14.360
but i think your last collar may have been less supernatural.
915
00:59:14.440 --> 00:59:20.480
Than socially incompatible he sounded to me like a man
916
00:59:20.559 --> 00:59:24.760
with a very rigid way. Of describing things some people work,
917
00:59:24.880 --> 00:59:28.320
nights too long speak to, too few others and after
918
00:59:28.360 --> 00:59:31.119
a while they stop arranging their thoughts in the order.
919
00:59:31.280 --> 00:59:37.400
Everyone else expects it does not, make them. Sinister only difficult.
920
00:59:37.280 --> 00:59:42.119
Leave it to norwegians to. Bring the pragmatism so what
921
00:59:42.400 --> 00:59:44.159
strange experience do you?
922
00:59:44.239 --> 00:59:47.239
Want to share it was near a frozen lake, outside
923
00:59:47.239 --> 00:59:53.519
the city not terribly remote, by our standards though perhaps remote.
924
00:59:53.639 --> 00:59:57.880
ENOUGH by yours i was walking AFTER midnight and i
925
00:59:58.000 --> 01:00:01.840
noticed a blue light. Beneath the EYES at first i
926
01:00:01.880 --> 01:00:05.079
thought it, was a reflection or perhaps a. Trick of
927
01:00:05.159 --> 01:00:10.840
depth but it kept, pace with, me not. Quickly not
928
01:00:10.960 --> 01:00:15.360
dramatically it SIMPLY adjusted, when i adjusted as though it
929
01:00:15.400 --> 01:00:18.199
had decided that my shoreline was the correct. ONE to follow,
930
01:00:19.159 --> 01:00:23.679
i stopped walking and, after a. Moment stopped also that
931
01:00:23.960 --> 01:00:26.320
was when it became difficult to continue believing it was.
932
01:00:26.360 --> 01:00:31.280
A natural thing you said it, moved too smoothly or
933
01:00:31.559 --> 01:00:36.639
was something else about? It particularly unnatural if it.
934
01:00:36.599 --> 01:00:40.199
Had, drifted or flashed or moved on some course, OF
935
01:00:40.239 --> 01:00:43.000
its OWN i think i would have accepted. It more
936
01:00:43.039 --> 01:00:48.920
easily but it seemed to respond to ME specifically, when i.
937
01:00:49.039 --> 01:00:52.920
Slowed IT slowed, when i. Stopped it stopped that is
938
01:00:52.960 --> 01:00:54.760
a very unpleasant quality.
939
01:00:54.840 --> 01:00:58.599
In a light, Pardon, my ignorance uh this time of
940
01:00:58.719 --> 01:01:03.559
year is still, light. After midnight right could it perhaps
941
01:01:03.639 --> 01:01:07.880
have been an odd reflection that simply followed you because.
942
01:01:08.000 --> 01:01:10.320
Your perspective changed.
943
01:01:10.239 --> 01:01:13.960
That would be. A, Sensible explanation yes and if it
944
01:01:14.000 --> 01:01:17.159
had only tracked, WITH my ANGLE i think i would
945
01:01:17.199 --> 01:01:20.039
have accepted it and gone. Home less interested but there was.
946
01:01:20.079 --> 01:01:25.920
No midnight sun then, it was. Dark properly dark the
947
01:01:26.000 --> 01:01:28.239
eyes held a light under it instead of. Giving it
948
01:01:28.320 --> 01:01:33.079
back and what bothered me was not that it seemed to.
949
01:01:33.159 --> 01:01:36.519
Remain in view it was that it seemed TO wait.
950
01:01:36.639 --> 01:01:41.000
WHEN i did a, reflection does not, in my. Experience
951
01:01:41.079 --> 01:01:42.679
become patient that.
952
01:01:42.760 --> 01:01:46.920
Is perhaps something reflection and myself. Have in common then
953
01:01:48.639 --> 01:01:52.119
has this kind of thing been reported? OUT there before
954
01:01:52.719 --> 01:01:56.079
I feel like i've heard. About, this before.
955
01:01:56.400 --> 01:02:00.159
Yes people say. It has not in a way the,
956
01:02:00.199 --> 01:02:04.280
authorities enjoy. Discussing of course but if you, ask quietly
957
01:02:04.400 --> 01:02:08.679
enough especially, among older fishermen you will hear that the lights.
958
01:02:08.760 --> 01:02:12.559
Are not new they say the lights do not, appear
959
01:02:12.679 --> 01:02:17.440
for everyone and they say when, they do appear it
960
01:02:17.519 --> 01:02:19.519
is best not to let them keep your pace.
961
01:02:19.559 --> 01:02:23.239
For too, long sounds ominous.
962
01:02:23.360 --> 01:02:26.000
That is because it is usually followed by a. More ominous,
963
01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:29.800
sentence they say if the light keeps pace with, you
964
01:02:29.960 --> 01:02:32.559
long enough it is no longer following.
965
01:02:33.159 --> 01:02:37.400
It's. Begun, leading yikes well thank you for sharing your,
966
01:02:37.440 --> 01:02:40.360
story With us and i'm so happy to have you
967
01:02:40.519 --> 01:02:43.039
listening all the way on the other side.
968
01:02:43.039 --> 01:02:47.880
OF the world i am, happy TO listen though i admit,
969
01:02:48.480 --> 01:02:51.639
AFTER that night i have become a little more SELECTIVE
970
01:02:51.679 --> 01:02:53.679
about what i choose to.
971
01:02:53.639 --> 01:02:58.280
Follow wise Words from the Land Of. The midnight sun
972
01:02:59.159 --> 01:03:02.880
looks like Our old pal pete is. On the horn you're, on,
973
01:03:02.960 --> 01:03:05.920
The air pal did you forget something you wanted to
974
01:03:05.960 --> 01:03:09.760
share about your? Strange, road ENCOUNTERS.
975
01:03:09.800 --> 01:03:15.079
Yeah but i give you A call because, i'm having,
976
01:03:15.199 --> 01:03:16.559
like you, know deja vu.
977
01:03:16.719 --> 01:03:20.679
But it's worse huh is there a? Word for that.
978
01:03:21.360 --> 01:03:24.519
I'm not sure the friendship figured out the nomenclature for,
979
01:03:24.559 --> 01:03:30.440
that one, yet but uh? What's? GOING on yeah i.
980
01:03:30.400 --> 01:03:34.079
Start to gas up and, use the FACILITIES and well
981
01:03:34.079 --> 01:03:38.400
i noticed that. SAME damn cashier i swear, it was,
982
01:03:38.519 --> 01:03:41.719
him just, now same.
983
01:03:41.480 --> 01:03:43.960
Guy, the, one who yeah.
984
01:03:43.920 --> 01:03:48.559
Just just never, really answered me. Just blank stairs he'd
985
01:03:48.599 --> 01:03:50.000
been in five STATES now that.
986
01:03:50.119 --> 01:03:54.440
I know of you're not riffing off that caller, before
987
01:03:54.480 --> 01:03:57.800
the break the one who got? My blood up? Are,
988
01:03:57.840 --> 01:03:58.360

LAST twenty minutes i was filling MY tank and i
991
01:04:04.320 --> 01:04:07.599
went in to hit the head. And CAFFEINE up when
992
01:04:07.599 --> 01:04:10.559
i saw that dead eyed. FACE watching me i tailed.
993
01:04:10.559 --> 01:04:15.440
It out there no confrontation. On, This, occasion then no it.
994
01:04:15.559 --> 01:04:19.159
WAS too weird i hadn't seen him, in a while
995
01:04:19.320 --> 01:04:24.000
and all, of a sudden he's RIGHT there and i
996
01:04:24.039 --> 01:04:26.800
paid it the pump AND that's WHEN i when i
997
01:04:26.800 --> 01:04:35.920
saw him all. Staring at me, all who everyone every
998
01:04:35.960 --> 01:04:39.559
single person at. The truck stop and he wasn't a.
999
01:04:39.639 --> 01:04:42.800
Small one either is that, it was huge, lit up
1000
01:04:42.920 --> 01:04:49.159
right people, filling. Their trucks staring folks were standing, at
1001
01:04:49.159 --> 01:04:52.800
the cars some were just standing in the lobby looking.
1002
01:04:52.840 --> 01:04:57.079
Out THE windows AND i mean i got on.
1003
01:04:57.159 --> 01:05:00.920
OUT of there. I, was sweating man that.
1004
01:05:00.039 --> 01:05:05.119
That is bizarre but maybe it. Was your truck maybe
1005
01:05:05.159 --> 01:05:09.760
it was, squealing or rattling or or you had toilet
1006
01:05:09.800 --> 01:05:12.840
paper on your. Shoe or something an awkward moment in
1007
01:05:12.920 --> 01:05:16.519
the middle, of the night combined with lack of caffeine
1008
01:05:16.559 --> 01:05:19.320
can turn on. You pretty, quickly.
1009
01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:25.480
I'd, Say, you're right hum. It ain't stopped.
1010
01:05:25.519 --> 01:05:29.880
You're, in your Truck right you you? Left the, STOP oh.

YEAH i Did i mean i've driven in a stretch.
1012
01:05:33.079 --> 01:05:35.719
Dozens of times there's almost never anybody.
1013
01:05:35.719 --> 01:05:39.679
Else this late but in, MY rear view i see five,
1014
01:05:39.760 --> 01:05:42.320
or six cards write some just right.
1015
01:05:42.400 --> 01:05:46.920
On, my tail well sometimes folks just need to ride on.
1016
01:05:47.000 --> 01:05:48.599
A random stretch.
1017
01:05:48.920 --> 01:05:52.679
Been fifteen miles and not A single one i can
1018
01:05:52.760 --> 01:05:53.880
see his past me or.
1019
01:05:53.960 --> 01:05:59.639
TAKEN an exit i had seen a single soul a.
1020
01:05:59.760 --> 01:05:59.920
Hit.
1021
01:06:00.119 --> 01:06:03.599
Of me neither it sounds to me like you're just
1022
01:06:03.760 --> 01:06:08.440
UNNERVED from. Everything i know often when people speak or hear,
1023
01:06:08.519 --> 01:06:14.320
about strange, phenomenon like, say sleep paralysis they're more likely
1024
01:06:14.440 --> 01:06:20.800
to experience it. Later that, night, It's weird man i'm just.
1025
01:06:20.880 --> 01:06:24.760
HOLDING at seventy i see a lot of lights whenever

they get. Where they're going.
1029
01:06:34.599 --> 01:06:39.719
It may be worth calling up, the highway patrol, don't
1030
01:06:39.719 --> 01:06:40.639
you think and.
1031
01:06:40.639 --> 01:06:44.239
Tell them what their. Cars behind me.
1032
01:06:44.800 --> 01:06:48.639
You could ask them if there's any, unusual highway activity
1033
01:06:49.280 --> 01:06:55.679
maybe a closure or. Something, like that sure that's not.
1034
01:06:55.719 --> 01:07:01.840
A bad idea i never said, ANYTHING like yes i

01:08:32.840 --> 01:08:35.159
On The. Air with Randall burr This.
1056
01:08:35.319 --> 01:08:38.399
IS dana in concordia i had a strange experience at
1057
01:08:38.399 --> 01:08:41.279
a truck, stop TONIGHT as Well and i SUPPOSE i'm
1058
01:08:41.279 --> 01:08:43.920
calling because i do not think the place was strange
1059
01:08:44.279 --> 01:08:49.439
until one particular. Person decided it was it seemed, ordinary, enough, at,
1060
01:08:49.439 --> 01:08:54.199
first bright tired functional the sort of place no, one,
1061
01:08:54.239 --> 01:09:00.319
Intends to remember, right nothing, obvious happened, no shouting no
1062
01:09:00.439 --> 01:09:03.960
scene nothing you. Could point to cleanly it was more
1063
01:09:04.000 --> 01:09:07.359
that one person seemed to arrive, carrying a private suspicion
1064
01:09:07.840 --> 01:09:11.560
and by, carrying it visibly enough started offering, it to everyone,
1065
01:09:11.600 --> 01:09:16.439
else not in. Words just in attention, and once that
1066
01:09:16.520 --> 01:09:19.560
began the place. NO longer felt neutral.
1067
01:09:19.479 --> 01:09:23.439
A private suspicion is, what creeped.
1068
01:09:23.479 --> 01:09:27.880
You out not exactly what unsettled me was how quickly.
1069
01:09:27.920 --> 01:09:32.000
It stopped being private most people can be uneasy in public.
1070
01:09:32.079 --> 01:09:36.279
Without changing the. Room this felt different it was as
1071
01:09:36.279 --> 01:09:39.720
if he was looking for confirmation so intently that other
1072
01:09:39.760 --> 01:09:42.520
people began wondering what exactly he.
1073
01:09:42.600 --> 01:09:48.199
Thought, he had found okay? But how would that how?
1074
01:09:48.199 --> 01:09:52.119
Would that be unsettling how? Would how would that how would?
1075
01:09:52.119 --> 01:09:53.520
That elicit that response.
1076
01:09:54.079 --> 01:09:58.640
Because attention is contagious if one person keeps looking around as,
1077
01:09:58.720 --> 01:10:02.720
though something is wrong everyone nearby begins asking, themselves the
1078
01:10:02.760 --> 01:10:06.199
same question even if they had been perfectly. Comfortable a
1079
01:10:06.239 --> 01:10:10.279
moment before, and once that happens the room is no.
1080
01:10:10.359 --> 01:10:13.720
Longer just a room it becomes a place where something
1081
01:10:13.800 --> 01:10:15.239
might be, about to reveal.
1082
01:10:14.960 --> 01:10:17.960
Itself something like what.
1083
01:10:18.560 --> 01:10:21.039
That was the problem he did not seem to know
1084
01:10:21.840 --> 01:10:24.239
if a person looks frightened of a gun or an,
1085
01:10:24.359 --> 01:10:28.520
argument or a fire other people understand the. Category and
1086
01:10:28.600 --> 01:10:32.880
respond accordingly but this was. Less specific than that he,
1087
01:10:33.000 --> 01:10:35.920
was looking at, people at the windows, at the whole
1088
01:10:35.960 --> 01:10:39.239
place as if he felt something was wrong but had
1089
01:10:39.239 --> 01:10:43.119
not yet decided. Where it was located that kind of
1090
01:10:43.199 --> 01:10:47.760
uncertainty spreads faster, than a clear threat because then everyone
1091
01:10:47.800 --> 01:10:48.920
starts wondering whether.
1092
01:10:48.960 --> 01:10:52.079
It Might be them I'M i'm not, sure I follow
1093
01:10:52.119 --> 01:10:57.000
you and i'm not. Sure how that works was he taking,
1094
01:10:57.239 --> 01:11:04.439
some sort? Of action sneaking around why would anyone be worried?
1095
01:11:04.520 --> 01:11:08.479
It might be? Them, what could happen.
1096
01:11:08.840 --> 01:11:12.479
No that was what. Made it so unpleasant, he was,
1097
01:11:12.520 --> 01:11:17.119
not sneaking not threatening not doing anything a manager. Could
1098
01:11:17.119 --> 01:11:21.119
reasonably intervene over he was simply looking at people as
1099
01:11:21.119 --> 01:11:24.600
though one of them might. Explain something to him and
1100
01:11:24.680 --> 01:11:28.239
when someone, studies strangers that way they begin to feel
1101
01:11:28.319 --> 01:11:34.199
less like strangers, and more like suspects suspects of what
1102
01:11:35.000 --> 01:11:38.880
of being the thing. That had disturbed him not guilty,
1103
01:11:39.000 --> 01:11:44.680
in any. Legal, sense more responsible somehow he was looking
1104
01:11:44.680 --> 01:11:47.319
at people the way someone looks at a room after
1105
01:11:47.399 --> 01:11:50.520
hearing a, noise in the walls not because he knows,
1106
01:11:50.560 --> 01:11:53.640
where it came from but because he has decided. It
1107
01:11:53.680 --> 01:11:55.560
came from someone.
1108
01:11:55.520 --> 01:11:59.039
It sounds like you're speaking for? More than just yourself?
1109
01:11:59.119 --> 01:12:05.720
Are you saying this one guy made everyone feel threatened by.
1110
01:12:07.119 --> 01:12:11.239
Looking around with concern threatened.
1111
01:12:10.960 --> 01:12:16.000
Maybe too strong a, word at first observed perhaps drawn
1112
01:12:16.079 --> 01:12:20.359
into something they. Had not, AGREED to and yes i
1113
01:12:20.399 --> 01:12:23.479
am speaking, for more than myself but only. In the
1114
01:12:23.520 --> 01:12:27.560
modest way people sometimes can you can feel when a
1115
01:12:27.600 --> 01:12:31.159
room has begun sharing an emotion, before anyone says, so
1116
01:12:32.119 --> 01:12:36.640
people flow, down they look up. They stop being casual
1117
01:12:37.520 --> 01:12:40.680
he did not need. To frighten, everyone directly.
1118
01:12:41.000 --> 01:12:50.439
Oh okay so this man frightens you and ostensively everyone else,
1119
01:12:50.560 --> 01:12:56.520
at this truck stop not by saying anything, or literally
1120
01:12:57.119 --> 01:13:02.960
doing anything but by. Thinking wrongly, Of, you.
1121
01:13:03.279 --> 01:13:07.279
Not exactly no it was not that he. Thought wrongly
1122
01:13:07.359 --> 01:13:10.920
of me it was that he seemed to, think wrongly
1123
01:13:11.239 --> 01:13:14.920
through us as though the people around him were not
1124
01:13:15.119 --> 01:13:18.560
people in the ordinary sense, for a few, moments but
1125
01:13:18.760 --> 01:13:22.479
possible explanations.
1126
01:13:20.960 --> 01:13:24.119
Possible, Explanations instead of.
1127
01:13:25.199 --> 01:13:27.079
People or at least that.
1128
01:13:27.239 --> 01:13:33.920
Is how, it felt not enemies, not exactly just candidates
1129
01:13:34.840 --> 01:13:38.319
as if he had already concluded something was wrong and
1130
01:13:38.439 --> 01:13:41.800
was moving through the people around him trying to determine
1131
01:13:41.920 --> 01:13:45.800
which arrangement of faces would make. The feeling make sense
1132
01:13:47.079 --> 01:13:51.359
that is a very uncomfortable way to be included. In someone, else's.
1133
01:13:50.960 --> 01:13:56.439
Thinking oh okay so his vibe was off and it made.
1134
01:13:56.479 --> 01:14:03.960
You everyone feel? Off what happened next he.
1135
01:14:03.920 --> 01:14:07.640
Moved through the place, the way anyone might too, quickly
1136
01:14:07.720 --> 01:14:12.000
to seem relaxed too slowly to. Seem in a, panic he,
1137
01:14:12.119 --> 01:14:17.479
kept looking not wildly just, with too much, intention at
1138
01:14:17.520 --> 01:14:21.199
the cashier at the, people by the windows. Out toward
1139
01:14:21.239 --> 01:14:24.800
the pumps and because he was behaving as though the,
1140
01:14:24.840 --> 01:14:29.159
place contained an answer other people began behaving as though
1141
01:14:29.199 --> 01:14:30.239
they might not want to.
1142
01:14:30.279 --> 01:14:34.920
Be mistaken, for one, hold on hold on you're saying.
1143
01:14:35.199 --> 01:14:41.239
A lot of nothing did the guy like leave, or
1144
01:14:41.439 --> 01:14:45.960
evaporate into nothing or did he turn into an idea
1145
01:14:46.119 --> 01:14:48.760
and become? The damn Easter, bunny.
1146
01:14:49.119 --> 01:14:52.600
He left randal huh that is what made the rest,
1147
01:14:52.640 --> 01:14:56.279
of it less. Comfortable, Not more right right he left,
1148
01:14:56.279 --> 01:14:59.479
in the ordinary sense went back, out, to his truck
1149
01:15:00.239 --> 01:15:05.159
away became someone else's, headlights on the road and yet
1150
01:15:05.319 --> 01:15:08.439
the feeling did not leave with him as completely. As
1151
01:15:08.439 --> 01:15:11.640
it should have it was as if, he had gone
1152
01:15:11.720 --> 01:15:15.479
first and the unease took a moment longer to decide
1153
01:15:15.520 --> 01:15:18.199
whether it. Was staying or following.
1154
01:15:18.199 --> 01:15:23.800
So you're saying he upsets you more by removing. Himself
1155
01:15:23.800 --> 01:15:25.199
from the situation.
1156
01:15:25.159 --> 01:15:29.920
Not, by removing himself no by revealing that he had not.
1157
01:15:30.119 --> 01:15:34.239
Been the whole situation if a man makes a place,
1158
01:15:34.359 --> 01:15:39.199
uneasy and then leaves the. Place should correct itself people.
1159
01:15:39.319 --> 01:15:44.079
Should return to themselves this did not happen as quickly as,
1160
01:15:44.119 --> 01:15:46.760
it ought, to have, right right you.
1161
01:15:46.880 --> 01:15:52.239
Said this happened tonight are you still at, the truck
1162
01:15:52.279 --> 01:15:56.760
stop then or did you? GO about your business.
1163
01:15:56.960 --> 01:16:00.159
I went ABOUT my business or. I intended to two
1164
01:16:01.000 --> 01:16:04.000
i left not very, long after he did and for
1165
01:16:04.039 --> 01:16:07.039
a while that seemed like. The end of it BUT
1166
01:16:07.119 --> 01:16:10.920
after some miles i began to suspect the unease had not.
1167
01:16:11.039 --> 01:16:15.600
Remained where it began THAT is partly why i called
1168
01:16:16.319 --> 01:16:19.680
it is difficult to know when an atmosphere has ended and.
1169
01:16:19.760 --> 01:16:21.800
A pattern has started.
1170
01:16:21.800 --> 01:16:24.560
Are you trying to tell me you're on the road right?
1171
01:16:24.560 --> 01:16:26.359
Now following a.
1172
01:16:26.279 --> 01:16:28.680
Truck THAT is the part i am.
1173
01:16:28.720 --> 01:16:31.680
Trying to, DESCRIBE carefully of course i got, back on
1174
01:16:31.720 --> 01:16:34.279
the highway AND after some time i realized the truck
1175
01:16:34.279 --> 01:16:37.439
ahead of ME was his or i believe, it was,
1176
01:16:38.159 --> 01:16:43.119
same shape same pace same sense, of DELIBERATENESS around it
1177
01:16:43.800 --> 01:16:47.720
and i would have. PASSED under normal circumstances i think several.
1178
01:16:47.760 --> 01:16:50.560
Of us would have but the spacing on the road.
1179
01:16:50.680 --> 01:16:54.640
Has stayed, STRANGELY consistent so yes i am behind.
1180
01:16:54.640 --> 01:16:55.359
A truck right.
1181
01:16:55.239 --> 01:16:59.439
Now what do you mean? By several of us if
1182
01:16:59.520 --> 01:17:03.239
you're trying to say you're part Of, the cars following pete.
1183
01:17:03.720 --> 01:17:08.640
Then just say it you've succeeded in. SAPPING plenty, of
1184
01:17:08.720 --> 01:17:10.079
airtime i.
1185
01:17:10.039 --> 01:17:13.439
Mean there are other, cars here behind me ahead of
1186
01:17:13.479 --> 01:17:16.840
me when, the road, Allows IT behind him and i
1187
01:17:16.880 --> 01:17:19.840
am not trying to say we are following him in the.
1188
01:17:19.880 --> 01:17:23.039
Sense you mean it that, would suggest, a decision a.
1189
01:17:23.079 --> 01:17:26.560

01:17:40.760 --> 01:17:43.520

YOU have a? Job a zip code did you. Go
1196
01:17:46.720 --> 01:17:50.600
to high school i'm getting tired. Of this Run around
1197
01:17:51.079 --> 01:17:54.760
i've known pete as. A listener for years he's not,
1198
01:17:54.960 --> 01:17:58.640
In on this prank so that means you're making fun of.
1199
01:17:58.680 --> 01:18:00.279
A genuinely skilled.
1200
01:18:00.760 --> 01:18:05.399
Man, Yes, TO all three randall, I have a job.
1201
01:18:05.760 --> 01:18:08.840
I have an address i have lived an ordinary, life
1202
01:18:08.840 --> 01:18:12.199
in ordinary sequence at least to the extent anyone ever
1203
01:18:12.279 --> 01:18:15.560
proves that to another. Person OVER the radio and i
1204
01:18:15.560 --> 01:18:18.520
am not. MAKING fun of him i am saying that fear.
1205
01:18:18.640 --> 01:18:21.159
Is not always private once a person, gives it enough
1206
01:18:21.159 --> 01:18:28.319
structure sometimes it begins recruiting, the, things, around. It people distances, timing.
1207
01:18:28.520 --> 01:18:32.600
If you're serious and god knows how, you possibly could,
1208
01:18:32.640 --> 01:18:37.319
be leave him alone take your line of creepy cars
1209
01:18:37.479 --> 01:18:42.079
and get. Off The, damn highway go, terroriza BUCkies or something.
1210
01:18:42.439 --> 01:18:43.880
Get a new hobby.
1211
01:18:44.199 --> 01:18:46.479
If, IT were that simple i think one of us would.
1212
01:18:46.479 --> 01:18:49.039
Have done it ALREADY that is, what i, am trying
1213
01:18:49.359 --> 01:18:53.119
perhaps badly. To explain to you no one appears. To
1214
01:18:53.159 --> 01:18:56.800
be forcing anything, there is no, swerving no boxing in
1215
01:18:57.399 --> 01:19:00.319
no threat you could point, to in a report just a.
1216
01:19:00.399 --> 01:19:03.920
Continued FAILURE to separate and i do not think telling
1217
01:19:03.960 --> 01:19:06.479
the road to stop being a pattern has much effect
1218
01:19:06.600 --> 01:19:07.359
once it has become.
1219
01:19:07.399 --> 01:19:12.520
ONE good night CALLER i know, before i Recommended medication

1317
01:26:43.439 --> 01:26:47.640
least but i suppose that's what you want when you
1318
01:26:48.159 --> 01:26:52.399
tune into a late night discussion of. THE unknown and
1319
01:26:53.760 --> 01:26:59.399
paranormal i guess the, positive spin would be it's been
1320
01:26:59.439 --> 01:27:04.359
a very memorable. Night Over the airwaves producer boyd has
1321
01:27:04.479 --> 01:27:08.279
talked me off The ledge and now i'm ready. To
1322
01:27:08.359 --> 01:27:13.199
take your calls no more letting the faceless. Trolls dominate
1323
01:27:13.479 --> 01:27:17.680
my imagination the lines are open at three oh eight
1324
01:27:17.880 --> 01:27:22.279
one five seven, six' one seven four and i would
1325
01:27:22.359 --> 01:27:27.600
love to hear your. Experiences in the Out There. You're
1326
01:27:27.720 --> 01:27:29.399
on WITH randall Burr.
1327
01:27:29.560 --> 01:27:31.399
This, is tomasi mayev langa.
1328
01:27:31.399 --> 01:27:35.920
Well the airwaves, do Work in mysterious ways but i'm.
1329
01:27:35.920 --> 01:27:39.199
Glad to have you. Listening what's on your mind.
1330
01:27:39.279 --> 01:27:42.600
Something happened out on, a PROPERTY near here recently and
1331
01:27:42.680 --> 01:27:44.720
i think it may be long in the category of
1332
01:27:44.800 --> 01:27:48.199
things that are. Easier to, feel than, explain all right,
1333
01:27:48.600 --> 01:27:52.840
at first nothing. Appeared wrong that is, important there, was
1334
01:27:52.880 --> 01:27:56.479
no damage no blood, no sign of forced entry if
1335
01:27:56.520 --> 01:27:58.880
that is the right phrase. To use for open land
1336
01:28:00.000 --> 01:28:02.000
it was simply that the place had taken on the
1337
01:28:02.039 --> 01:28:05.600
feeling of a decision having been made there before anyone.
1338
01:28:05.680 --> 01:28:09.159
Present understood what it was and once you notice that kind,
1339
01:28:09.199 --> 01:28:12.199
of arrangement in a field it becomes difficult?
1340
01:28:12.319 --> 01:28:17.920
To, keep calling it ordinary okay what kind? Of arrangement
1341
01:28:18.640 --> 01:28:22.239
are you talking crop, circles or something less.
1342
01:28:22.239 --> 01:28:26.880
Common less decorative than, that not in, the crops in
1343
01:28:26.920 --> 01:28:30.880
the animals though in may not be, the best world.
1344
01:28:31.760 --> 01:28:36.880
Around them perhaps between them it was not that anything
1345
01:28:36.920 --> 01:28:40.039
had been done to. Them in the obvious sense it
1346
01:28:40.159 --> 01:28:42.800
was that they seemed to have accepted a pattern all
1347
01:28:42.840 --> 01:28:46.840
at once and were remaining faithful to it for reasons.
1348
01:28:47.000 --> 01:28:49.279
No one nearby could access could you?
1349
01:28:49.520 --> 01:28:56.079
Please please? Be more specific what happened something in a
1350
01:28:56.159 --> 01:28:57.880
field right, like a farm?
1351
01:28:58.039 --> 01:29:03.439
Or Yes a run property cattle they were standing in
1352
01:29:03.479 --> 01:29:07.520
a formation that, no one recalled them entering and no one.
1353
01:29:07.560 --> 01:29:12.600
Could persuade, them to, Leave not panicked not aditated. That
1354
01:29:12.680 --> 01:29:16.760
would have been easier they were, simply polding to it
1355
01:29:17.680 --> 01:29:21.880
quietly as though whatever had arranged them. Had not entirely
1356
01:29:21.920 --> 01:29:23.560
finished speaking, I'll.
1357
01:29:23.600 --> 01:29:27.159
Give it to you thomas you're. A man of many words.
1358
01:29:27.199 --> 01:29:32.680
But unfortunately airtime isn't free try, to cut, To the
1359
01:29:32.760 --> 01:29:37.439
chase all right, so cattle are acting strange. Standing in
1360
01:29:37.520 --> 01:29:42.000
an unusual formation was anything else odd? Going on, in,
1361
01:29:42.039 --> 01:29:46.640
the area strange? Lights sounds something like.
1362
01:29:46.560 --> 01:29:50.520
That there was a sound not loud that is part
1363
01:29:50.560 --> 01:29:54.680
of why people kept. Second guessing themselves about it if it,
1364
01:29:54.720 --> 01:29:59.000
had been machinery or, thunder or some obvious intrusion.
1365
01:29:59.000 --> 01:30:00.800
At least it would. Have belonged to.
1366
01:30:00.880 --> 01:30:06.359
A category this did not, it was a low hum but,
1367
01:30:06.520 --> 01:30:09.760
not steady enough to ignore and not. Buried enough to
1368
01:30:09.880 --> 01:30:13.880
call music more like the ground had begun holding a
1369
01:30:13.920 --> 01:30:16.159
note and the animals had decided.
1370
01:30:16.279 --> 01:30:17.800
It was worth listening.
1371
01:30:17.439 --> 01:30:21.760
To you're assuming a lot. Of the mentality of cows don't?
1372
01:30:21.760 --> 01:30:25.359
YOU think that is fair i am, describing it. From
1373
01:30:25.399 --> 01:30:28.920
the outside of course, but when, animals.
1374
01:30:28.439 --> 01:30:33.039
Refuse food refuse prodding refuse habits, they have kept for
1375
01:30:33.279 --> 01:30:37.560
years one is left either to assign them intention or
1376
01:30:37.600 --> 01:30:40.520
admit that something less comfortable may have.
1377
01:30:40.600 --> 01:30:42.720
Been supplying it for them have.
1378
01:30:42.800 --> 01:30:47.079
The cattle died you? Said they were refusing food did?
1379
01:30:47.119 --> 01:30:52.600
They maintain this formation indefinitely or did it end just? As?
1380
01:30:52.680 --> 01:30:55.640
Suddenly as, it began, No.
1381
01:30:55.600 --> 01:31:00.079
NOT died not then and i should be careful if
1382
01:31:00.159 --> 01:31:02.920
using may sound more dramatic than, It looked in the
1383
01:31:03.000 --> 01:31:04.880
moment it was.
1384
01:31:04.880 --> 01:31:06.199
More that food ceased.
1385
01:31:06.239 --> 01:31:10.880
To matter, for a while water also the usual little
1386
01:31:10.880 --> 01:31:14.199
motives that keep animals moving through a day. Seemed, to,
1387
01:31:14.239 --> 01:31:15.920
LOSE their authority.
1388
01:31:15.760 --> 01:31:20.600
Well yeah i wasn't. Suggesting they. Were otherwise immortal they're
1389
01:31:20.640 --> 01:31:26.560
cows they die. Inevitably like all living things refusing food
1390
01:31:26.600 --> 01:31:31.279
and water for a short time isn't an uncommon mistake for.
1391
01:31:31.319 --> 01:31:35.720
A sick or, Upset animal that is true.
1392
01:31:35.960 --> 01:31:38.279
And if, it had been, one animal or a few
1393
01:31:38.800 --> 01:31:42.439
or anything with, THE untidiness of ordinary ILLNESS i do not.
1394
01:31:42.600 --> 01:31:46.520
Think i would have called but sickness is usually. Individual
1395
01:31:46.640 --> 01:31:52.479
first and collective. Second this felt collective first that is
1396
01:31:52.479 --> 01:31:56.840
what made it difficult. To regard as merely veterinary they
1397
01:31:56.840 --> 01:32:00.520
were not each behaving. Badly in their own way they
1398
01:32:00.560 --> 01:32:04.399
were behaving correctly together according to something no.
1399
01:32:04.479 --> 01:32:06.920
One else had been shown isn't that?
1400
01:32:07.000 --> 01:32:12.079
What cattle do behave collectively we even use the phrase
1401
01:32:12.600 --> 01:32:18.199
like cattle. To, describe operating in, Unison yes to.
1402
01:32:18.199 --> 01:32:20.359
A point but there is a difference.
1403
01:32:20.399 --> 01:32:26.119
BETWEEN herd behavior and, compliance, a herd follows appetite alarm
1404
01:32:26.520 --> 01:32:27.520
have it the.
1405
01:32:27.640 --> 01:32:32.199
Movement of the nearest body, this was. Quieter, Than, that more.
1406
01:32:32.039 --> 01:32:36.960
Exact okay, well thanks for the call and best of.
1407
01:32:37.079 --> 01:32:40.720
Luck with the whole situation as, vague, as it may be.
1408
01:32:42.600 --> 01:32:45.960
Caller You're On. The air with randal burr hopefully you're
1409
01:32:46.000 --> 01:32:50.159
a bit more. Concise of a speaker word salad seems
1410
01:32:50.199 --> 01:32:52.840
to be the. Special, on, The, menu tonight.
1411
01:32:53.079 --> 01:32:57.119
Yes hello Randall, This. Is leah in thompson manitoba i'll
1412
01:32:57.119 --> 01:32:59.640
try to be more. Economical Than your last caller.
1413
01:32:59.640 --> 01:33:03.279
Thank heavens for Small Miracles Up. In, the great white
1414
01:33:03.319 --> 01:33:07.560
north eh we really are becoming. A global experience. For
1415
01:33:07.680 --> 01:33:11.039
listeners please GO ahead i'm.
1416
01:33:10.840 --> 01:33:13.640
Calling because i heard SOMETHING on weather radio that i,
1417
01:33:13.680 --> 01:33:16.600
do NOT think belonged there and i have been having
1418
01:33:16.640 --> 01:33:20.520
a hard time convincing. Myself it was only interference.
1419
01:33:20.399 --> 01:33:23.319
There seems to be a lot of talk about those kinds.
1420
01:33:23.359 --> 01:33:28.159
Of phenomenon as of late so? WHAT exactly did, you hear.
1421
01:33:28.720 --> 01:33:35.119
A voice calm very calm not the tone they. Use for,
1422
01:33:35.199 --> 01:33:40.479
watches or warnings, no urgency no official cadence none of
1423
01:33:40.520 --> 01:33:43.439
that clipped authority weather radio has when it wants you
1424
01:33:43.520 --> 01:33:48.399
to take. Shelter and stop asking questions, this was. Quieter
1425
01:33:48.600 --> 01:33:54.520
than that more certain it said not to.
1426
01:33:54.600 --> 01:33:54.840
Look.
1427
01:33:54.920 --> 01:33:55.800
At the tree.
1428
01:33:55.560 --> 01:34:00.920
Line right don't emergency warnings tend? TO be kind of
1429
01:34:01.800 --> 01:34:05.760
deadpan i mean they don't, speak in a panicked tone.
1430
01:34:05.920 --> 01:34:09.600
Since that would, be counterproductive.
1431
01:34:09.479 --> 01:34:14.119
Yes they do but deadpan is not. The same thing
1432
01:34:14.319 --> 01:34:17.800
as intimate this did not sound like a system. Speaking
1433
01:34:17.840 --> 01:34:21.479
to everyone at once it sounded like something. Addressing the
1434
01:34:21.520 --> 01:34:26.720
people already awake that was the. Distinction an alert in
1435
01:34:26.840 --> 01:34:31.279
forms this sounded like it. ALREADY knew WHO was listening.
1436
01:34:31.800 --> 01:34:35.039
I think i follow you, BUT at the same time
1437
01:34:35.319 --> 01:34:39.760
i have to ask why were? You tuned into emergency
1438
01:34:39.880 --> 01:34:42.319
radio was there something.
1439
01:34:42.399 --> 01:34:46.039
Going on at the time it's common enough up here to,
1440
01:34:46.119 --> 01:34:48.720
leave one on at night especially if. The weather has
1441
01:34:48.760 --> 01:34:52.439
been shifting you stop noticing it until. It says something
1442
01:34:52.520 --> 01:34:56.119
worth noticing that was part. OF what made this worse
1443
01:34:56.800 --> 01:34:59.680
i wasn't sitting there in. FEAR waiting for a message,
1444
01:35:00.479 --> 01:35:05.039
i was. Doing something ordinary half listening when the ordinary
1445
01:35:05.119 --> 01:35:08.640
voice was replaced by one that seemed to understand. It
1446
01:35:08.680 --> 01:35:10.159
had found me already.
1447
01:35:10.560 --> 01:35:15.239
So people were already, listening and as. You explained it's
1448
01:35:15.479 --> 01:35:19.920
not uncommon so why is it strange that It acted
1449
01:35:20.079 --> 01:35:22.239
like it knew because it.
1450
01:35:22.199 --> 01:35:24.680
Did not sound as though. It had found an audience
1451
01:35:25.680 --> 01:35:30.119
it sounded as. Though it had found. Witnesses there, Is a.
1452
01:35:30.079 --> 01:35:36.920
Difference uh right is there anything unusual? About that particular.
1453
01:35:37.039 --> 01:35:41.560
Tree, line not in daylight no that. Is part of the,
1454
01:35:41.600 --> 01:35:47.800
problem it, was just trees black spruce mostly the sort
1455
01:35:47.840 --> 01:35:50.840
of edge your eyes slide over. A hundred times without,
1456
01:35:50.880 --> 01:35:55.159
consequence no. LIGHTS in it no movement i. Could swear
1457
01:35:55.199 --> 01:36:01.119
to nothing, theatrical but after the message. It stopped feeling
1458
01:36:01.159 --> 01:36:04.279
like scenery it felt like the part of the night
1459
01:36:04.359 --> 01:36:04.640
that had.
1460
01:36:04.640 --> 01:36:06.840
Been, listening back right right.
1461
01:36:06.960 --> 01:36:10.880
WELL thank you for calling i, guess STAY safe out
1462
01:36:10.880 --> 01:36:14.840
there though i guess not by. Listening to the radio
1463
01:36:15.000 --> 01:36:18.600
anymore we're going to take a quick break, and when
1464
01:36:18.640 --> 01:36:21.399
we get back we'll be taking some more of your
1465
01:36:21.439 --> 01:36:28.960

Maybe radio, as A whole all right maybe i'm getting,

a little, too high falutin but regardless where still somehow. Happy,
1475
01:37:12.119 --> 01:37:16.039
To take your calls Caller, you're lost, in the void
1476
01:37:16.119 --> 01:37:17.479

1477
01:37:17.520 --> 01:37:17.600
The?
1478
01:37:17.680 --> 01:37:20.239
Void, Feel, deep tonight.
1479
01:37:20.239 --> 01:37:21.199
Yes hello Randal.
1480
01:37:21.479 --> 01:37:24.560
This is arjun in rajasthan i'm calling because there IS
1481
01:37:24.600 --> 01:37:27.079
a temple near where i live that has begun. Making
1482
01:37:27.119 --> 01:37:30.560
ITSELF difficult to ignore and i do not think that difficulty.
1483
01:37:30.680 --> 01:37:33.399
Is entirely RELIGIOUS in nature Who whoa whoa Hold?
1484
01:37:33.439 --> 01:37:35.479
On, Rajasthan, As.
1485
01:37:35.520 --> 01:37:40.720
IN india yes rajasthan india i realize your show covers
1486
01:37:40.760 --> 01:37:43.319
a great deal of, Territory in a single, night but
1487
01:37:43.439 --> 01:37:46.760
in this case, the geography is real enough. The temple,
1488
01:37:47.000 --> 01:37:50.680
IS as, well the difficulty. I think begins after that?
1489
01:37:51.039 --> 01:37:53.680
But how are you listening is it some kind of.
1490
01:37:53.760 --> 01:37:58.319
UNAUTHORIZED web stream or something i know we have a mighty,
1491
01:37:58.520 --> 01:38:02.359
tower for our stations size but that's the whole, other
1492
01:38:02.479 --> 01:38:03.079
side of the.
1493
01:38:03.000 --> 01:38:05.800
Planet, not by your tower randal by.
1494
01:38:05.840 --> 01:38:08.479
A copy of. Your. Voice, that is common now yes
1495
01:38:08.720 --> 01:38:12.239
a thing said once can continue arriving elsewhere long after.
1496
01:38:12.319 --> 01:38:15.319
IT has left the room. I found your, program online
1497
01:38:15.479 --> 01:38:19.479
the temple unfortunately does Not. Seem to require the internet.
1498
01:38:19.279 --> 01:38:22.439
You certainly took your sweet time. To get to that, Revelation,
1499
01:38:23.680 --> 01:38:29.359

01:38:33.399 --> 01:38:36.880

1502
01:38:36.920 --> 01:38:41.520
town talk radio guy guess. That's. Your, Idea, of FUN.
1503
01:38:41.479 --> 01:38:44.960
Huh no randal if i, WANTED only to rile you
1504
01:38:45.199 --> 01:38:48.239

01:38:48.279 --> 01:38:50.199
carefully i am calling because you.
1506
01:38:50.319 --> 01:38:52.239
Mentioned THE bells.
1507
01:38:51.960 --> 01:38:56.199
Less carefully if, I didn't know any better i'd. Say
1508
01:38:56.239 --> 01:39:00.279
that was a threat tough talk from. A, guy on the.
1509
01:39:00.119 --> 01:39:02.039
Phone no not a threat.
1510
01:39:02.399 --> 01:39:05.439
Only an observation about tone you are treating this like
1511
01:39:05.479 --> 01:39:08.640
a prank because. THAT is the, Safer category I understand
1512
01:39:08.720 --> 01:39:11.439
that but where i am people stopped enjoying.
1513
01:39:11.520 --> 01:39:11.600
That.
1514
01:39:11.680 --> 01:39:13.119

01:39:41.439 --> 01:39:45.920
before we wrap up for the Night Caller. You're, On, With,
1522
01:39:46.960 --> 01:39:48.079
randal burr.
1523
01:39:48.319 --> 01:39:51.600
Yes hello Randall this Is. Mara and carnie.
1524
01:39:51.319 --> 01:39:55.439
Ah good a local caller was half expecting this call
1525
01:39:55.479 --> 01:39:59.920
To Be Coming. From the international space station so what
1526
01:40:00.000 --> 01:40:02.279
would you. LIKE to share with us.
1527
01:40:02.239 --> 01:40:05.039
I had an experience a while back on A dark
1528
01:40:05.159 --> 01:40:09.439
road with someone i was trying in, my OWN way
1529
01:40:09.520 --> 01:40:13.680
to help and i have never been entirely. Sure, whether
1530
01:40:13.720 --> 01:40:14.800
he understood that.
1531
01:40:15.359 --> 01:40:20.600
Okay you've piqued my curiosity, even in. My let's. Say
1532
01:40:21.399 --> 01:40:25.520
agitated state please continue.
1533
01:40:25.600 --> 01:40:29.119
It was on a, road outside town, years ago now
1534
01:40:30.000 --> 01:40:34.079
sparse traffic the kind of night where a single pair
1535
01:40:34.119 --> 01:40:38.000
of headlights feels less like company than a measurement of.
1536
01:40:38.039 --> 01:40:40.119
How alone everything else is.
1537
01:40:42.000 --> 01:40:47.159
I'm, A lot less excited? NOW but why stop now.
1538
01:40:47.720 --> 01:40:51.319
I was off, the SHOULDER that is important because i
1539
01:40:51.359 --> 01:40:53.880
do not WANT to give the impression i stepped into
1540
01:40:53.920 --> 01:40:58.439
the lane. OR meant to endanger anyone i was where
1541
01:40:58.439 --> 01:41:03.039
a person could reasonably. Be without becoming an obstacle the
1542
01:41:03.119 --> 01:41:06.800
driver came along looking tired in the. Particular way, that worries,
1543
01:41:06.840 --> 01:41:13.560
you not asleep not intoxicated just thinned out too. Much
1544
01:41:13.640 --> 01:41:17.279
ROAD behind the eyes and i had the sense very
1545
01:41:17.319 --> 01:41:20.439
strongly that if he, kept going in that condition he
1546
01:41:20.560 --> 01:41:22.800
was going to give his attention to the wrong. Thing
1547
01:41:23.319 --> 01:41:27.640
AT the wrong moment so. I tried, to make contact.
1548
01:41:27.520 --> 01:41:32.159
That's scary even in. THE least paranormal of situations a
1549
01:41:32.239 --> 01:41:37.159
car without an attentive driver. Is a danger to everyone
1550
01:41:37.359 --> 01:41:42.359
so how did? YOU try to make contact i raised.
1551
01:41:42.399 --> 01:41:47.319
A hand, toward the, window only, that not, pounding not
1552
01:41:47.520 --> 01:41:52.520
grasping nothing wild just enough to bring his attention back into,
1553
01:41:52.560 --> 01:41:57.399
ONE place at one time a very simple signal from.
1554
01:41:57.439 --> 01:42:00.600
The side of the road you raised a, hint to
1555
01:42:01.560 --> 01:42:03.119
get his attention.
1556
01:42:03.319 --> 01:42:05.960
Or toward, the side of the car if. You prefer
1557
01:42:06.039 --> 01:42:10.479
it that way these things become, imprecise very quickly in
1558
01:42:10.560 --> 01:42:14.800
memory especially when one person is moving and the other is.
1559
01:42:14.840 --> 01:42:18.960
Trying NOT to cause ALARM what i mean is i
1560
01:42:19.039 --> 01:42:22.680
made the smallest gesture available to me that still had.
1561
01:42:22.720 --> 01:42:26.399
SOME chance of being noticed i did not think of it.
1562
01:42:26.439 --> 01:42:28.800
AS reaching into his. Space i.
1563
01:42:28.840 --> 01:42:32.720
Think he did sounds dangerous to, reach toward a moving
1564
01:42:32.800 --> 01:42:36.199
car you'd have to be pretty close for a hand to,
1565
01:42:36.239 --> 01:42:37.920
Be able to signal.
1566
01:42:37.600 --> 01:42:42.039
Him closer than HE liked certainly closer. Than i meant to?
1567
01:42:42.079 --> 01:42:43.079
Feel what?
1568
01:42:43.279 --> 01:42:47.680
Does? That mean be specific please people, are trying to
1569
01:42:47.840 --> 01:42:53.319
Understand you. AND it's me i'm people i mean it.
1570
01:42:53.279 --> 01:42:57.000
Did not feel close. Until he reacted, TO it from
1571
01:42:57.079 --> 01:43:00.840
my perspective i was making a small. Practice gesture FROM
1572
01:43:00.880 --> 01:43:04.840
the roadside from his i think it became, a hand
1573
01:43:04.880 --> 01:43:05.920
at the window.
1574
01:43:07.199 --> 01:43:11.640
Like at the. Window, or inside, the.
1575
01:43:11.560 --> 01:43:16.199
Car no not inside but near enough. TO be mistaken
1576
01:43:16.239 --> 01:43:17.000
for that i.
1577
01:43:16.920 --> 01:43:21.439
Think you think you. Know what the motorist felt you
1578
01:43:21.600 --> 01:43:26.239
signaled him in a startling way because you saw some vague.
1579
01:43:26.279 --> 01:43:28.239
Signs he was in danger.
1580
01:43:28.439 --> 01:43:31.279
There is a particular kind of driver who is no longer.
1581
01:43:31.319 --> 01:43:34.039
Fully where the road is you can, see it in
1582
01:43:34.119 --> 01:43:37.239
the pace in the way the vehicle holds itself, just
1583
01:43:37.279 --> 01:43:40.680
a little too rigidly as if the person inside is
1584
01:43:40.800 --> 01:43:43.079
using attention to. Keep something, ELSE out.
1585
01:43:43.439 --> 01:43:49.920
Right of course i think. I've Heard, this story before
1586
01:43:50.119 --> 01:43:54.359
so marra what do? You do for a living where?
1587
01:43:54.359 --> 01:43:58.199
Did you go to school? WHAT'S your mother's first, Name.
1588
01:43:59.159 --> 01:44:02.479
I do ordinary work randal I went to, school where
1589
01:44:02.479 --> 01:44:05.439
i was sent and my mother had a name people used.
1590
01:44:05.439 --> 01:44:09.399
When they needed her attention if you're asking whether reciting
1591
01:44:09.439 --> 01:44:12.439
credentials would, MAKE the story feel safer i.
1592
01:44:12.520 --> 01:44:15.079
Do not think it would i'm trying to figure out
1593
01:44:15.119 --> 01:44:17.479

1594
01:44:18.399 --> 01:44:22.079
