00:04:57

00:05:02
think the dream was that was it maybe not though um so yeah you're listening to the show in a in a twar now in a for
00:05:12
about a twar now and that and you're going at a at a very interesting way I guess from now to beginning but but you
00:05:24
are also saying that your name is Jade um which I can say yep thank you so this terrifying butthole clenching experience
00:05:34
takes place way back when in the lovely year of 2016 I was but a scrawny pimple-faced wild-haired mentally
00:05:42
unstable middle schooler weren't we all during this unfortunate time in my life you may remember a certain killer clown
00:05:48
pandemic had Arisen I personally had never been scared of clowns but oh boy was that opinion about to kick me in my
00:05:54
non-existent middle school balls let's set the scene it was 11:00 at night on Friday mid spooky season the fall air
00:06:02
was nippy and I was at a sleepover with two of my friends Amy whose house we were residing lived in the middle of
00:06:08
literally bum [ __ ] nowhere like actually she lived on a 100 Acre private property
00:06:13
that was only accessible by a windy Gravel Road honestly the dream her father was a very paranoid man who we
00:06:20
all joked but seriously thought was part of the CIA or the FBI he supposedly worked as a mailman but sir sir you
00:06:28
expect us to believe you're children go to private school on a mailman's salary not [ __ ] buying it AR they like
00:06:34
government workers though like don't they make like better money I have no idea like there's not one part of me
00:06:39
that could answer that question yeah I don't know what they make but I do know that they work like technically you're a
00:06:43
government employee private school is wildly expensive though yeah I don't I don't I didn't do that that shit's like
00:06:50
college yeah I like I went to like the worst public school ever so I but you know public school's great
00:06:57
sometimes um yeah depending on where yeah exactly yeah so the house was an old two-story brick house with looming
00:07:04
Windows Amy's dad also had numerous secret tunnels in the house just in case of any threat yeah he's not a mailman I
00:07:10
was just going to say I think we figured this out established he is Cia my friend
00:07:15
he said welcome to the CIA there you go does anybody remember sorry we're going off topic but I know we've talked about
00:07:23
this before it's a um it doesn't exist anymore it was it's it was called like the California Institute of the Arts I
00:07:30
think CIA and it's actually on topic because they had a dead clown there there you go and CIA so it all makes
00:07:37
sense but when I went to California before uh there they yeah they had like a dead mummified clown
00:07:44
there and all this other weird [ __ ] and it was a cool place but I think it's gone now ever been there people in
00:07:49
California but Amy's dad also had numerous secret tunnels baah blah blah I've never seen I've never personally
00:07:55
seen these tunnels they were locked up but Amy has informed us that there were bulletproof vests stored inside that man
00:08:01
is in the FBI CIA 100% this is not relevant to the story but it helps set the scene and Vibe of the house and area
00:08:08
we were at leading up to this my friend had told us a handful of times how strangers had shown up lost on her
00:08:15
property most had been illegally hunting the land not knowing it was private property or college kids [ __ ] around
00:08:22
so random people showing up was not uncommon however they were quickly taught a lesson by her dad the clown
00:08:28
attack happened outside we were sitting on her trampoline one of those with the net around it we were discussing deep
00:08:35
topics as middle schoolers do the only light nearby was a faint glow from the back porch light the house was a good
00:08:41
way away from the trampoline her backyard was large it was almost a semicircle of cleared land edged by
00:08:47
thick dark woodsa excuse me Amy Sarah and I were sitting in a sort of triangle formation
00:08:54
the two of them were sitting facing me and I was facing them as we were talking something caught my eye eye over their
00:08:59
shoulders keep in mind I have terrible eyesight and consistently boycott wearing my glasses so it was hard to
00:09:05
make out what I was seeing your eyesight has going to got worse baby a glint of something White had shifted in the woods
00:09:10
which was a very good distance away at first I just assumed it was a wind chime or something but my friends had noticed
00:09:16
that I had gone quiet they eyed me questioningly I think I saw something White Moving in the woods over there I
00:09:21
whispered they turned to look behind them squinting for a moment we were all silent observing the entrance to the
00:09:27
woods then I saw it again it seemed to be pacing the edge of the woods outside of the C of the cast of the dim light
00:09:33
the porch light was giving off Sarah gasped her hand was trembling Jade I'm not kidding I see something red too at
00:09:40
this point it was apparent to all of us that there was something alive moving in
00:09:44
the woods we stood from our spots cautious cautiously I'm sure it's nothing Amy assured us we watched as the
00:09:51
black figure crept out from the shadows and oh my gosh with a labored breath Sarah says guys it was red hair it has
00:09:59
red hair it has it was I thought I what I saw was red it was red hair it was just that's all that's it guys that was
00:10:10
red hair we saw that was just just I'm just picturing like yes like the hand in the Adam's
00:10:19
family just like booping around just red hair just red hair said it has red hair
00:10:30
I caught my breath it became clear that a full ass clown was in the woods and was approaching us baby you better run
00:10:38
so far away he was wearing a black cloak likee outfit his mask was a haunting almost blank clown face with darkened
00:10:46
eyes and a crooked smile oh I hate it chunks of red hair spotted his head as he stepped out of the woods we screamed
00:10:53
well Amy and Sarah did I just kind of stood there he tilted his head observing us he paced the edge Ed as if pondering
00:11:00
his victims he was still a good ways away at this point at this point I was thinking he was perhaps a [ __ ] up
00:11:05
college student as multiple college students have wandered onto the property before I forgot to mention that they
00:11:10
have a well-known abandoned house on their property as well that people like to visit Why without even thinking I
00:11:16
began to shout at him this is private property I love your 12-year-old asking like private property [ __ ] my
00:11:24
friends were huddled on the edge of the trampoline hugging each other and periodically screaming whenever he moved
00:11:30
you need to leave do you want to be arrested I screamed at the approaching clown you're a queen as the clown slowly
00:11:37
crept Out of the Woods he sporadically turned his head to the side as if observing his victims again I heard Amy
00:11:43
whimper something beside me clearing her throat as she repeated her inaudible sentence a bit louder I think he has a
00:11:49
knife I whipped my head back to the clown and sure enough in his hand the clown was clutching a long butcher knife
00:11:56
glinting in the low light my friends clung to each other Sarah had fat tears rolling down her cheeks I cleared my
00:12:03
throat and continued yelling my empty threats do you really think that this is Worth jail time it's not too late to
00:12:09
turn around and leave you're a [ __ ] Queen but this [ __ ] was not having it he was making
00:12:15
his way closer and closer we were too far from the house to run to it he would have gotten Us by then Sarah unzip zip
00:12:22
up the trampoline I commanded what just do it I don't know what I was thinking but I guess I thought it would save us
00:12:28
like 30 seconds of life if you were to take the time to unzip it to get to us a nice Sarah Sarah zipped it up he was now
00:12:35
at the edge he his dark eyes taking us in then this [ __ ] bent down slowly and went under the trampoline under the
00:12:45
trampoline what a [ __ ] dick wad and do not read further I'm not going to okay don't read further Sarah and Amy
00:12:53
were screaming for their life he had a knife and could potentially cut through the trampoline or stab at us from
00:13:00
underneath but I only had one thought in my mind jump on his head this is my last
00:13:04
chance at saving us I start but like if you jump I'm like what if he sticks the knife up and you jump right on the knife
00:13:11
I mean that's terrible but like what the [ __ ] else are you going to do cuz he the
00:13:15
net man I started to run where he was Jade what are you doing Amy called after me I prepared my LEAP I was at least
00:13:22
going to make this clown regret messing with us before he killed us but as I ran
00:13:26
over to him and jumped to land on his head he came back up from under and he pulled off his mask and it was Amy's dad
00:13:33
the end are you [ __ ] kidding me what the [ __ ] is wrong with Amy's Dad it was
00:13:41
Amy's [ __ ] dad what the [ __ ] is wrong with Amy's dad I'm going to go on the record and say Sir what the [ __ ] is
00:13:47
wrong with you E's dad that's that's if my husband did that to my children I would divorce him what the [ __ ] are you

00:14:17
the CIA that's unhinged Behavior I don't know if you should be in the CIA oh my God I love that story so much can you
00:14:24
imagine going back home after that and being like Mom Amy's dad dressed up like a [ __ ] clown with a knife approached
00:14:31
us from inside of the woods and then crawled underneath the trampoline that was like L JK it's Amy's dad I'd be like
00:14:38

00:14:43

00:16:56
beautiful ladies my name is Maran feel free to use my name and any others I mention I want to preface this with the
00:17:01
fact that this will likely be a bit long insert apologies that I don't really mean here I'm from a small town in Utah
00:17:06
but don't let the fact that I live in Utah fool you into thinking that my life has been simple or boring because it has
00:17:12
been anything but and I have so many crazy stories to tell from an accidental near-death experience or multiple to
00:17:18
multiple different unexplicable paranormales ones today I'm going to tell you two stories that are not my own
00:17:24
but don't fret I have many of my own that I may write down and send you guys in the future if you'd be interested
00:17:29
please yeah are always interested I want to start by saying that I love your podcast for many
00:17:34
reasons thank you thank you but a huge reason is because of the completely and utterly accepting environment you
00:17:39
amazing women have created oh that makes me happy as I stated before I grew up and still live in a small and extremely
00:17:46
extremely religious City in Utah being someone that has always been incredibly into anything fantasy hell yeah movies
00:17:52
TV shows games and especially books music that my peers considered strange at ghost and BL October I haven't heard
00:17:59
of Blue October they're good are they mhm uh things like the horror Thriller and True Crime genres and I God forbid
00:18:05
shopped at Hot Topic back when it was more edgy hell yeah there's also the frequent usage of the [ __ ] word and
00:18:10
cussing is not widely accepted here I was always somewhat of an outcast and one of them weirdos I was told my
00:18:17
passion for Fantasy was childish on a regular basis and that my interest in True Crime and similar genres was creepy
00:18:23
among other colorful and creative insults that's so terrible you know what I say [ __ ] them you know what I say it
00:18:28
sounds like you're [ __ ] cool as hell yeah you are the weirdos Mister yeah and we love you it didn't help that I'm not
00:18:35
subscribed to a certain religion that is wildly popular in my Desert State and that I was always open about the fact uh
00:18:41
excuse me about that fact and my interest that didn't quite fit into the standards of said religion hey to each
00:18:46
their own everybody can believe whatever the [ __ ] they want and let everybody believe whatever the [ __ ] they want yep
00:18:52
Live and Let Live that's what I say if you didn't already know it can be considered incredibly Taboo in certain
00:18:58
highly religious areas of my home state to have more than one piercing in your ears oops let alone have some on your
00:19:04
face like I do oops we'd all be [ __ ] together don't even get me started on the dirty looks and even scrutinizing
00:19:10
comments that I get about my tattoos oops another oops I bet they're beautiful I have one that's a Nordic uh
00:19:17
oh a Nordic rune with beautiful flowers that sounds sounds Gorge beautiful it's a excuse me it's meaning is a piece
00:19:24
between a mother and a daughter that my mom and best friend and I got together as my first tattoo obsessed love also

00:20:09
lines of is that satanic or something with nor like you being Norwegian are you satanic like are those two things
00:20:17
mutually excusive because you're so otherworldly beautiful that's why jealous yeah I'm Norwegian jealous and
00:20:28
plenty more things that are absolutely absurd for a stranger to inquire about the state isn't all that bad but it's
00:20:33
definitely unique and these are just my personal experiences and opinions here my amazing mother always told me Let
00:20:39
your freak flag fly darling and boy do I with no plans of stopping your mom sounds awesome and can we get a hell
00:20:45
yeah hell yeah to this day she's never stopped encour never stopped encouraging me to completely envelop myself in all
00:20:52
my interests hobbies and passions and anything else I love from going with me to Comic Cons when I have no one else to
00:20:58
go with to listening to all my Rants and theories about the most recent shows and
00:21:01
movies I'm watching and books that I'm reading I also have to give my best friend Cassidy a shout out for playing a
00:21:06
huge part in helping me in school and supporting me in all my nerd [ __ ] and always reminding me it's never annoying
00:21:11
even when I feel like it is she's actually assisting me in writing this out because the second story is her
00:21:16
Grandma's story o she is my partner in crime and my emotional support pitch I love both of these people I love all of
00:21:23

00:22:01
exactly and you shouldn't feel stupid I'm glad you have cool people around you that are like [ __ ] yeah girl you deserve
00:22:05
it anyway that was a lengthy way of stating that I regularly felt like an outsider and your typical strange and
00:22:10
quiet kid in school that wasn't actually a freaky weirdo but was often assumed to
00:22:15
be these last couple years I've been on a journey of really discovering who I am
00:22:19
because I've been 100% allowed to for the first time in my life hell yeah when I found your podcast and discovered the
00:22:25
accepting of all no matter what environment it made me made me realized that I can find in people in my own life
00:22:30
as well I love you you guys played a big part in that even though you now have to
00:22:34
read through a couple of unnecessary paragraphs of my life story before these Tales I wanted you to know thank you no
00:22:40
that that's wonderful and it's nice to hear that like we created that and and that like what we're wanting to say is
00:22:47
coming across how we want to say it exactly exactly I love you guys I love you I thought you would want to know
00:22:54
that what you guys do truly does mean a lot to many people you're going to [ __ ] cry right now I be msing okay uh
00:23:01
for many reasons you may not have even realized and even if you don't read this on the podcast I hope you see it so you
00:23:06
can at least read that I also thought you would need some backstory as to why your loving environment meant so much to
00:23:12
me so thank you for reading and thank you for helping me realize that being interested in these things is normal
00:23:17
hell yeah it is I'm also realizing as I write this that it was a long-winded way
00:23:21
of telling everyone in The Morbid universe who my favorite stranger thing character is I bet I know although he
00:23:26
wasn't my favorite until he made Lord of the Rings book reference in the woods because same Edward same yes as somebody
00:23:32
whose bookshelf is mostly fantasy and who makes strange fantasy references people usually don't understand this
00:23:37
spoke to me on a cellular level all right now that I've accidentally rambled on a bit too long let's get into the
00:23:42
story you did not ramble at all that was amazing the crazy story of the time that
00:23:46
my mom's brother was nearly true cried in the nighttime by none other than than the infamous Richard Ramirez aka the
00:23:52
nightstalker Y you read that right drunk me coined the phrase true crime in the nighttime
00:23:58
and sober me has never stopped using it since around the night around the time the nightstalker was doing his [ __ ]
00:24:04
True Crime things my mom was a cute little fifth grader living in California DN my young mother was obviously
00:24:09
horrified about what could happen to her and her two siblings and her mother her
00:24:13
dad didn't live with them but I honestly don't think any of them were too concerned about that
00:24:17
hoe I have talked to her about this and all of her memories of the time which she still remembers vividly I thought
00:24:23
you guys might find an inside perspective from someone who was directly affected and traumatized by the
00:24:27
horror things this man did interesting she can still recall the voices of reporters on the news with startling
00:24:33
accuracy and remembers almost every detail about the case including the fact that it was people in the neighborhood
00:24:38
not too far away from her own that finally took down that [ __ ] living personification of greasy Bog
00:24:44
Water the best takedown of a piece of [ __ ] that is the best ever hisory I wish
00:24:51
every criminal was caught like that I to californ baby that was that's great unfortunately before he was taken down
00:24:59
in an epic citizen's arrest my mom was not sleeping at night she would stay up all night staring into her backyard and
00:25:04
watching the family dog to see if anything startled her she assumed that if anyone were to try to break in that
00:25:09
the dog would be alerted the fact that she was 5 years old and worried about this grade oh fifth grade okay I'm silly
00:25:16
but either way I mean still you're so young you're like 10 or like 11 I don't [ __ ] know I know you're you're so
00:25:22
young baby now there was one dreary night that my grandma was out of the house for a little while my 10 or
00:25:29
11-year-old mom see I should have [ __ ] read that first was staring out the window at the backyard her eyes
00:25:33
trained on the family sleeping golden golden retriever there was a stocky tree right outside of her bedroom window and
00:25:39
the leaves began to rustle the only thing her young brain could think of was that the noise had belonged to the
00:25:44
nightstalker there was no other possibility it couldn't have been her black cat putty who loved being outside
00:25:49
and climbing trees of course when in a state of current Terror and constant General Panic the human brain is seldom
00:25:55
wired to think clearly so she did what any Terror ified tenis year-old kid would do and she promptly called the
00:26:00
police and told them that the nightstalker was trying to break into her house honestly good for her you know
00:26:04
what you'd rather be safe safe than sorry within a few minutes the police showed up the nightstalker was nowhere
00:26:10
to be found but better safe than sorry there you go overreact or in this case serial murdered yeah the police did
00:26:16
their due diligence and searched the premises before clearing it but my mother's anxieties did not stop there
00:26:21
far from it she did not sleep for months because of her ongoing fears if he were
00:26:25
to show up at her house she wanted to know immediately so she could alert the rest of her family and hopefully keep
00:26:30
them safe luckily he never did show up at their house she remembers hearing about every single time there were new
00:26:35
victims on the news and her Terror Rising wondering if her family would be next oh that must have been awful
00:26:40
seriously one night her older brother decided he was going to stay over at a friend's house this was a little
00:26:45
worrisome for obvious reasons but they promised to be safe so my grandma okayed it you can imagine the horror of the
00:26:51
next morning when they heard that the nightstalker had struck again on the same street where my uncle had stayed
00:26:56
the night before dickle Ramirez had struck on that street in the house that was right next door to the one my uncle
00:27:03
had slept over at there's some debate between my Mom and Grandma about whether it was the house right next door or if
00:27:09
it was the one two houses down either way but my mom says she's positive it was next door so we'll go with that I
00:27:15
believe your mom honestly it's so fortunate that he didn't become a victim but it is extremely unfortunate that the
00:27:20
nextd door neighbors did my mom can't remember the name of the family that this did end up happen uh excuse me that
00:27:26
did end up his victim but does remember that her family somewhat knew them of course we're all so thankful he didn't
00:27:32
choose the house my uncle was in but it's weird to feel glad about it because it was another family and people who
00:27:37
also didn't deserve it instead oh that's so awful I know there are undoubtedly a
00:27:41
lot of conflicting emotions there it's like Survivor guilt it is yeah like a different kind of form of it my uncle's
00:27:47
now growing up to be a cop who has taken down some really awful dudes so big that
00:27:52
he and his family had to go to a witness protection once which is part of the reason why the only names I've given are
00:27:57
me and my best friends damn that's wild wow my mom has grown up to be an amazing
00:28:01
nurse who helped so many people and same with my aunt my grandma's still around and even though we don't always see eye
00:28:06
to eye we do generally get along because they're all always there for me whenever
00:28:10
I need them I can't imagine what would have happened if any of them had been the victim of that [ __ ] kicking ass
00:28:15
clown [ __ ] kicking ass clown is exactly what he was love that so much now if you
00:28:20
aren't tired of my writing yet then I have another story about someone else I know who was almost true cried in the
00:28:25
night time by an Infamous serial killer here in Utah his name was Ted Bundy you may have heard of him never heard of him
00:28:31
no some backstory to how I know this one I met my current best friend close to six years ago when I was in junior high
00:28:37
when I was a junior in high school I met her through a coworker and a little bit
00:28:40
later she became a cooworker as well we were acquaintances for a little while and then it wasn't long until we were
00:28:46
best [ __ ] friends it's crazy how fast I went from thinking she was a chill person I wanted to know better to
00:28:51
suddenly knowing that if anyone even looked at her wrong I would promptly be ready to aggressively throw these hands
00:28:56
directly into their face these hands are a class two weapon and I am not afraid to use them now back to the story this
00:29:04
particular evening Bundy decided to wait for a victim in the parking lot of vont
00:29:08
high school in Centerville Utah this is about 5 minutes from where I live now holy [ __ ] that's crazy my friend's
00:29:15
grandma was going to drill practice at the school which was her high school at the time when she got out of the car he
00:29:21
approached her and gave his usual crusty Dusty lines about needing help to fix his lame car she basically told him
00:29:27
sorry I don't know anything about cars got to go I'm late and continued hurrying into the school if you've ever
00:29:31
been on a drill team or met someone in charge of one you know that they do not [ __ ] around she was like nope I got to
00:29:37
go she was like I am late and I must go I think even the most selfless and helpful person on this planet would not
00:29:42
have stopped to help him if they were keeping the coach of a drill team waiting there you go also get inside
00:29:46
that school girl fresh air is for dead people by the time she left he was no longer there sadly he did come back
00:29:52
later that night and take a different girl from view uh vont who did theater and was heading home after a school play
00:29:58
she'd participated think it was Deborah Kent yeah I think she was only like 17 years old so crazy oh when I think she
00:30:05
was there actually if I remember correctly she was picking up her brother from school oh yeah like from the play I
00:30:15
think it was yeah like the play was going on and she was picking him up I believe oh that's so sad and I think she
00:30:21
she was one that um like he strangely kept at his home for a little while they don't know
00:30:27
long it was a very strange one he he had like such a weird like everything was like a little bit different with each
00:30:33
was very strange so it's just like scary and so sad only 17 my God you're so young like your whole life ahead of you
00:30:41
well when she heard about the missing girl she immediately thought about the man in the parking lot and the fact that
00:30:45
the girl went missing from her school she then remembered there was a serial killer at large and thought that was
00:30:50
most likely him and could have easily been her once that intolerable bastard was caught and his face was plastered
00:30:55
all over the news her grandma recognized him and the car they said he drove she wasn't one to give any stranger the time
00:31:01
of day because [ __ ] people you don't know but if she had simply been on time to her drill practice she could have
00:31:06
been 10 by's victim that night again I'm glad she wasn't his victim because I wouldn't have my best friend if she had
00:31:12
been but just like my uncle it's hard to be completely glad when when you know that someone else was still victimized
00:31:18

00:35:24
to say that as nice as I could so this story takes place on the 13th of December 2018 here in Sweden every year
00:35:32
we celebrate St Lucia which I know is not really something you guys have in the US OFA so I'll add a bit of
00:35:39
background feel free to skip if I bore you you I love this stuff also know that I've not slept well so things might be
00:35:45
Wilding things are always wilding in these parts as you just saw as you just heard St Lucia is said to have lived in
00:35:52
Sicily between the years 286 to 304 picture it so if I get things wrong about the legend just remember that I've
00:35:58
never met the woman anyway this dude whoa uh Dio cleans dianus di dius tus tenus I don't
00:36:14
know you know what de decious do we're ganous or tenacious Tenacious D tenacious Doo wait wait you know what
00:36:30
exists pronounce names.com pronounce names.com we're gonna do this I hope we get the French guy I do too I love that
00:36:36
guy this is easy easy oh he's a daddy either way I don't know if you're supposed to say
00:36:44
that about Gods but he is you can all I did so all right are you ready Dian we were nowhere near that all right well
00:36:53
that Dian but you know what they gave me a good little like AKA one of the last Roman emperors who just didn't Vibe with
00:37:01
Vibe with Christianity oh so he is a z yeah there you go he gave the order to burn all Christian books churches were
00:37:07
to be torn and leaders of Christianity were to be killed okay not zad that is the opposite of Z Energy zaddy doesn't
00:37:16
kill zaddy shall not kill woo as an empath I think he did not like Christianity but I don't
00:37:23
know I feel like I'd go out on a limb there our girl Lucia name meaning something like carrier of light remember
00:37:30
this came from a relatively well-off family work and was raised by a mother since her father died when she was young
00:37:37
not work as a child she took a vow of Chastity and whis to give to the poor this was not something she told anyone
00:37:44
even her own mother this ended up as a wee problem when she grew up and her mother wanted to marry her off to a mans
00:37:49
who was not Christian but our girl was able to postpone the engagement every time while praying to God to save her
00:37:56
from this marriage marriage her mother however got sick with an incurable disease so after some persuading by S by
00:38:03
Lucia they went not St yet went they went to St aotus I hope I'm saying this right grave to pray for a cure St agus
00:38:12
I'm going to look it up probably aotus oh here we go can I get your autograph no you can't get my autograph you're
00:38:18
supposed to nice to me you're supposed to say Nas to me Chan the fuck. AATA Agata all that
00:38:27
Aus you're supposed to say nice to meet you B Mikey just goes what is happening it's like a preview for an a24 movie so
00:38:37
St agus is said to have shown themselves to Lucia saying something like sis why are you asking me when your faith has
00:38:43
already healed her direct quote and so her mother was healed and promised Lua that she wouldn't have to get married
00:38:50
instead the dowy was given to the in need in in Sicily picture it The Suitor was real mad that he was rejected Q I
00:38:57
roll and tattled on her to our guy that guy sounds awesome and Lucia was then arrested and tortured however she never
00:39:07
gave up her faith she was then ordered to become a sex worker at a brothel not really how I would personally describe
00:39:13
what happened as she was to be taken to the brothel she was placed in this like cart thing can't remember the English
00:39:18
word for it that was to be pulled by oxin it was discovered that the cart was frozen to the ground then boiling oil
00:39:25
was instead poured on her but she was not hurt last attempt to kill her was to stab her with a sword straight through
00:39:31
her neck but she did not die not until someone came to do the anointing of the sick other versions of the legend
00:39:38
include one where a man is said to have fallen in love with her eyes which prompted her to tear her eyes out and
00:39:44
send them to him on a plate that's that's my version of the story that's bad [ __ ] energy a man is
00:39:51
like you have the most beautiful eyes and you just look right at him and then you rip them out of your put them on a
00:39:57
plate and you're like eat them if you think they're so beautiful you like my eyes eat them now apparently this made
00:40:03
the man go and get baptized apparently that man found Jesus apparently she was later given new even more beautiful eyes
00:40:12
by a miracle so like you rip your eyes out and then you get new ones yeah recycle like use these up and then
00:40:21
she's like I would like new ones please [ __ ] the thought of somebody plopping their eyes out really upsets
00:40:27
now during the 1300s in Sweden we celebrated Lucia during one of the darkest nights in order to call for the
00:40:33
light to scare off the evils in the dark I love Sweden uh today we celebrate Lucia in church and even in schools you
00:40:40
guys all rip your eyeballs out I hope not also you know who's from Sweden Tobias Forge yeah we Sweden could never
00:40:47
forget in schools all participating children are dressed up in these white dresses they wrote question mark with
00:40:54
traditionally all the girls wearing re W young kids usually wear wreaths that are
00:40:58
more sparkly cuz why not hell yeah and the guys wear this Con looking hat with stars that's sounds like a wizard hat
00:41:05
sounds like a great time Merlin in kindergartens you can sometimes see even see some kids dressed as mini Santas or
00:41:12
even gingerbread men America sucks anyways all the girls also wear this red ribbon around their waist that
00:41:19
symbolizes the Bloods lucious shed for her face that's metal and they say I know really metal I I actually didn't
00:41:25
even that when I said that everyone also carries one lit candle during the whole
00:41:30
thing electric ones for the kiddos that's smart this also causes multiple people to faint every year also very
00:41:35
metal of us and no one really does anything to stop this wait but like why do you guys faint I don't know I love
00:41:42
that they said also very metal of us they don't give you refreshments and no one really does anything to stop this
00:41:47
question mark we just have buckets of water close by and tell everyone that if they feel dizzy to blow their candle out
00:41:53
for a while oh cuz they're all walking around with a candle in a room together it's getting hot and they're dressed in
00:42:00
these things oh oh oh oh it says it is wild and in the very front of this choir is the Lucia traditionally played but by
00:42:07
by a girl but you know what it's 2023 so let's skip the boy versus girl thing oh
00:42:12
yeah the Lucia is dressed in the same white gown and red ribbon but instead of a wreath they wear this crown with like
00:42:17
seven lit candles on it that's danger anyway this Lucia choir then sings a bunch of songs and then we eat these
00:42:23
really good saffron buns to celebrate have you ever had saffron I have it's delicious it is act two vibing with
00:42:32
Jesus never done that so in 2018 when I then 15-year-old was part of the local Church's youth choir I was to be that
00:42:40
Year's Lucia oh wow this was big for me since I had never been Lucia after some kids said that I can't be Lucia since
00:42:47
I'm Brown me being South Asian and that I should be a gingerbread man instead what a bunch of racist brats and yes I
00:42:54
was a gingerbread man during Lu in kindergarten anyway casual racism aside I was hyped to be the Lucia that that is
00:43:01
a lot of racism yeah get you a you who can do both hell yeah however I also have a record of random health problems
00:43:08
and basically proof that proof that survival of the fittest doesn't really work in a modern society some of which
00:43:14
include random dizziness but I never fainted at least foreshadowing this was obviously something we worried about so
00:43:20
we made sure that during the performance we had someone in the very front making
00:43:23
sure that I don't faint and is ready with supplying me with water to drink and to make sure that I don't get turned
00:43:28
into South Asian barbecue by seven candles on my head in this case it was a priest and let me just say she looked at
00:43:35
me and kept moving her head around like we were in a one versus one basketball match she was like I'm not letting you
00:43:40
go down baby no way we begin with the whole church lights out there were like I think 100 to 200 people in the
00:43:46
audience so when everyone was seated we lit our candles and started walking and singing all good a bit nervous but you
00:43:52
know what a you know what a dark church with only a few candles lit while we are
00:43:56
singing our whole show was also without any instrument is a Vibe we sang a couple of songs all is well the priest
00:44:03
is still doing her little moves to check if I was good so I gave her a thumbs up
00:44:07
but then I started feeling a bit warm and soon I felt like the world was spinning oh no at this point I was like
00:44:13
oh this is not ideal and I remember looking at the priest still singing and just shaking my head to show all is not
00:44:19
well anymore no then it all got dark when I opened my eyes again all I saw was the blurry figure of a woman with
00:44:25
long blonde hair smiling looking down at me and behind her I saw Jesus on the crucifix in this bright light the [ __ ]
00:44:32
at this point I remember thinking well I guess I'm dead Jesus and an angel are here to collect my soul I was also
00:44:38
confused not by the fact that I had apparently died no no no but because as I may have failed to mention earlier I
00:44:45
am Buddhist how hard did I die to see someone else's Gods why was I a Buddhist in a Christian
00:44:53
choir I don't know I was just vibing but was I not supposed to be reincarnated did I turn the wrong Corner in the
00:45:00
afterlife oh no during this confusion the angel began speaking to me she said in a calm voice hey amaly do you know
00:45:07
who I am I was silent since well you know me dying and ending up in Christian Heaven like where's Buddha she then
00:45:14
laughs a bit at my silence before saying no of course not we've never met before
00:45:18
okay then why do you ask me I mean y'all not get some kind of training from God before doing this like how can you be
00:45:25
underfunded and I can take being dead like oh chill but do yall not have a functional working
00:45:30
system up here damn during my during my mental tiate the angel then says you fainted oh I'm alive chill I
00:45:39
fainted that's neat never done that before I'm alive chill being alive is like the least chill ever but I love I
00:45:48
fainted that's neat never done that before turns out the angel was like a doctor or something something who was a
00:45:55
apparently in the crowd and the light was just the ceiling lamps that were turned down after I fainted oh so you
00:46:02
like you came too so you thought you died but this was really just you coming to and
00:46:09
the oh so so you're still Buddhist you're still Buddhist you're okay Jesus so they said it's just the ceiling lamps
00:46:17
that were turned on after I fainted well what I saw as Jesus was just chilling was the crucifix that hung from the
00:46:23
ceiling they a church while my vision was almost completely back to normal I finally started to notice that the show
00:46:29
was still going on everyone was still singing and when the current song was done my choir teacher ran up to me and
00:46:35
asked you want to rest or do you want to keep going I as the rational person I am
00:46:39
and knowing that oh boy I'm still dizzy said yeah sure let's keep going oh my God you can't stop a they from a
00:46:46
sleigh [ __ ] iconically as I iconic as I got helped up I noticed that they had removed the crown apparently as
00:46:56
I fainted my choir teacher was able to run up and scoop up the crown before I hit the floor honestly very impressive
00:47:03
as I stood up I felt the priest putting on the crown I heard the sound of my teacher using the lighter to light the
00:47:07
candles which I did not know they were going to do since it all went so well the first time but in for a penny in for
00:47:13
a pound I guess when all the candles were lit a man in the audience yelled out hooray for the Lucia and started app
00:47:19
plotting and with that confidence boost I decided that I will make it through the show candles on fire or not and so
00:47:25
kept singing and after the show was done I was damn proud of myself I got some minor what are you doing sit down and
00:47:31
rest this is the last time you are Lucia from my friends but the adrenaline kept
00:47:35
me alive and full of energy that day I got lots of hugs from random people in the audience saying that they were so
00:47:40
proud of me and honestly writing this I still am smiling by the kindness of everyone who was there and apparently
00:47:46
from what I heard I fainted very elegantly a dramatic back of my hand to my forehead and all some thought for a
00:47:52
few seconds some thought for a few seconds it was part of the show because it was so theatrical so at least I kept
00:47:58
slaying till the very end can't stop a they from a slay I love that so much I love that they this may not have been
00:48:04
the normal crime or Supernatural listener tale but hey I thought believing I saw the wrong afterlife was
00:48:10
close enough it was absolutely I hope you enjoyed reading it and if not I included another file in my mail with an
00:48:15
attempt of animating one of my favorite morbin moments and as always keep it weird but not so weird you think you
00:48:21
died and came to the wrong afterlife that's incredible that was amazing I'm quite literally obsessed with you truly
00:48:30

00:49:26
going to read my next listener tale how a butter knife and my friends manly yell
00:49:30
probably saved my life let's go I'm just making sure I can read the name as I can hello weirdos my
00:49:39
name is Riley feel free to use my name and the names in the story I have attached a double space putterer to this
00:49:44
email also do people usually write puaa or do you just read puer as puer I need to know uh yes I read PDF as puaa and
00:49:52
when people write puaa I read it as puaa so basically no matter what you say we'll say puaa anyways I will absolutely
00:49:59
freak out if this gets read on your podcast I've been listening for years and absolutely adore you guys your Woody
00:50:03
banter and humor has me almost peeing my pants and laughing out loud to myself which often creeps my fiance out when I
00:50:09
have airpods in because it just sounds like I'm randomly laughing standing in the middle of the kitchen I'm realizing
00:50:14
that last last sentence might not make sense so let me explain that we live in a house built in 1895 and some very
00:50:20
creepy stuff has been happening my fiance came up to me the day after we moved in and said why did you just say
00:50:25
my name I calmly said I did not I was on the other side of the house and he says
00:50:30
someone or something oo spooky just whispered his name right into his ear we both about pooped our pants and the
00:50:37
weird stuff has continued my fiance has always said he will believe in ghost once he experiences something and boy
00:50:43
has he so I'm kind of down with the spooky stuff as long as it makes him finally realize that ghost spirits or
00:50:49
whatever you want to call them are real I just keep talking out loud to the ghost saying please just let me know
00:50:53
what you need in a non- creepy way and I can do it for you but enough of the creepy whispering and knocking things
00:50:58
over when I'm alone and enjoying some of that sweet green Washington herb if anything major happens I will be sure to
00:51:05
write in again but as of now I think that it is a nice ghost anyways that is not what this story is about so let's
00:51:11
get into it how a butter knife and my friend's manly yell probably saved my life I met my best friend Hannah during
00:51:18
my freshman year of college at the University of Arizona we both didn't love the college or the vibe so halfway
00:51:24
through our first year we said screw it both applied to study abroad in uh orto Italy oh that sounded nice I hope I
00:51:33
liked it okay cool thanks uh for the first semester of sophomore year fast forward a few months and we both got
00:51:39
accepted to study abroad and we were work when no and we were working our summer jobs in order to pay for all the
00:51:45
amazing things we were about to experience in Italy we were only 19 so one of the main things we were excited
00:51:50
about was that we could legally be able to drink woohooo wo I mean seriously when we landed and room the first thing
00:51:56
we did was go to the bar and get a drink before even checking if our train was on
00:51:59
schedule but I digress so we get to orva I hope can you look it up for me or you're
00:52:08
welcome Oro I like it I don't know if in Italy you roll your your are like that so I won't uh so we get to orvet right
00:52:17
yeah ORV God and we meet all of our roommates and are loving experiencing the culture food and people in the small
00:52:23
town of ORV during the month of October we got a fall break which meant we got two weeks off of school to travel and
00:52:29
experience life abroad our roommate Allison me and Hannah all decided it would be fun to travel to Greece for
00:52:34
part of our fall break we would F we would first fly to Athens and stay there for a few nights and then from Athens we
00:52:40
would fly to mikinos we booked our Airbnb uh airbnbs for both Athens and mikinos and before we knew it we were on
00:52:48
our flight to Athens when we got to Athens we had to take a train from the airport to where we were staying and
00:52:53
this was a challenge because none of us us could speak or read Greek but after a
00:52:57
few hours we finally figured it out and we're stepping off the train into beautiful nope not beautiful we were
00:53:03
stepping into what we did not know at the time was one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Greece great awesome it
00:53:10
was dark and we pretty much sprinted to our Airbnb from the train station and did not leave until the next morning to
00:53:15
go into the actual town of Athens and explore ha tricked you nothing bad happens in Athens even though it would
00:53:21
have been made even though it would have made more sense based on where we were staying now it's time to go to mikos
00:53:26
mikos mikos it just reminds me of um wasn't that where Lindsay Lohan's uh [ __ ] uh God damn it reality show was
00:53:36
oh was it wasn't it like the one that she had with MTV I never finished watching it but I think it was in mikos
00:53:41
I don't think I ever actually watched it I only listen to Su podcast SE unique podcast I love that show uh I think it
00:53:50
was MOS so we got on our plan to fly from Athens to mikinos I meant to say plane and then we find our beautiful
00:53:57
Airbnb it's a ground level Studio that opens up to the blue and white cobblestone streets of Greece with Blue
00:54:03
Shutters and we basically realize we are living out our Mama Mia dreams hell yeah
00:54:07
that's awesome the studio is one room and in that room is the kitchen in an area for three twin beds then there's a
00:54:13
little door off to the side where the bathroom is the kitchen is near the front door and there's a little sink
00:54:18
with chutters above it now it is important to note for the story that most windows in grease are just shutters
00:54:24
two Shutters on the the inside and two on the outside that hook together there is no glass so we're settling into our
00:54:31
Airbnb and it's about 8:00 p.m. when we decide we should go out for some drinks we start walking around the town and
00:54:36
find this bar that's right on the water when we walk in there's a small wedding party going on and they're handing out
00:54:41
free drinks to everyone and Blasting Mama Mia Mama Mia here I go again staying at this bar was an obvious and
00:54:49
Easy Choice all three of us are having the best time drinking meeting people from all over the world and just dancing
00:54:55
the night away around 1:00 a.m. we decide that it's time to go back to our Airbnb so we head out after walking for
00:55:00
a minute we kind of realize we are not too sure how to get home but the island is small and we generally know where our
00:55:06
place is we keep walking and something in my gut tells me to turn around when I do I see a man walking just far enough
00:55:13
away from us uh far away enough from us to notice him he shouts at us hi girls do you need some help just like that I
00:55:21
don't know it just came to me H girls he's in GRE need some help H girls need some help you hear that in grease run
00:55:27
that's not grease I don't know I just wanted to Y it like that my morbid brain immediately jumps into action and I say
00:55:32
no we are fine screw the thank you and being polite there's no room to be nice when it's dark and you're kind of lost
00:55:37
in a different country bye so we keep walking and are chatting to each other when I turn around again and the man is
00:55:42
still behind us we know where we are now and are only about one minute one minute
00:55:46
from our place and my gut was telling me don't show him where you live hell yeah
00:55:51
you get it there's a corner coming up and as I turn to take it I I yank both of my friends by their shirts around the
00:55:56
corner and we Crouch down behind a small wall to hide good for you the man walks
00:56:01
right past us we realize our front door is directly across from where we are once the man is out of sight me and my
00:56:06
friends run to the front door unlock it and go inside my heart is racing Hannah goes to lay down in one of the beds beds
00:56:12
but I suggest to Allison that we barricade the door and the windows so if he somehow saw where we live and tries
00:56:18
to get in then all the stuff will fall over and wake us up so smart I'm very smart so we stack our suitcases and
00:56:25
chairs in front of the front door and then we stack plates and cups in front of the window above the sink that's so
00:56:30
smart that was really smart that's what my mom did in Boston Strangler was around I was just
00:56:35
thinking that and to think of that like after a night of drinking is especially I'm like that's very impressive we also
00:56:41
agree that we should grab some type of Defense tool from the kitchen but when we begin looking for something all the
00:56:47
Airbnb has is freaking butter knives butter knives I can't even cut butter straight out of the fridge with a butter
00:56:53
knife but it'll have to do so Allison and I grabbed the butter knives setting one next to peacefully sleeping Hannah
00:56:59
and we get into our beds we decide to keep the lights on because that [ __ ] was
00:57:03
scary and after about 30 minutes we both fall asleep around 4:00 a.m. I wake up and hear a noise it sounds like the
00:57:09
shutters above the sink are banging against each other I like that I decide to wake Allison up and I say hey do you
00:57:14
hear that noise it sounds like the shutters are moving she's half asleep and says it's probably just the wind in
00:57:19
my mind I'm thinking the wind we just got followed home and barricaded the door in fear but also she could be right
00:57:24
I'm probably paranoid so I get back into my bed and keep my eyes locked on the shutters above the kitchen sink as I do
00:57:30
the banging gets louder and I see them begin to Shake in and out of the window slot this time I spring out of bed with
00:57:37
my butter knife and Shake Alison awake she immediately looks at the shutters and goes okay probably not the wind we
00:57:43
both quietly and slowly walk over to the shutters Allison in front and me directly behind her our pitiful butter
00:57:49
knives are held up near our ease and Alison open ear excuse me and Allison opens the shutters you went from ear to
00:57:56
ears ears it was like ear ear ears when you really have to pronounce it R for some reason it does just go
00:58:06
like Southern it gets ears it's hard pronoun hard an R I must go there halfway through our window is the man
00:58:15
who followed us home with a black ski mask pulled over his face kill him kill him we lock eyes and my friend Allison
00:58:23
lets out the man scream yell that I have ever heard so maybe it was her that was
00:58:28
saying that earlier hey girls hey girls that was Alison she's like like what is a manly
00:58:40
yell I'm just picturing you see this Intruder in your window and you're just like the face that went along with that
00:58:50
just made me spit everywhere oh man the man freezes quickly backs out of the shutters and
00:58:56
runs down the street Alice and I slim the shutters closed and run to grab our phones
00:59:02
Hannah's awake at this point we're all pretty much just [ __ ] our pants Manley screaming for me it's great we
00:59:09
huddle on the bed as Allison calls the police but the language barrier is making it impossible for them to know
00:59:13
where we're located the police simply say that they're on their way and hang up at this point it's about 430 a.m. I
00:59:19
FaceTime my mom to let her know what's going on and she is freaking out but also calming me down I start to feel
00:59:24
sick partially because my hangover is starting to make an appearance and partially partially because I'm
00:59:29
traumatized and I throw up in the trash can I would too honestly 30 minutes later the police still aren't there so
00:59:36
we call them back and they ask us if we can go outside in the dark to try to find them I grabbed the phone it was not
00:59:43
my best moment and start yelling at them to freaking find us before the man comes
00:59:46
back and that no I will not be going outside when he could be waiting right there honestly you're finest moment
00:59:51
don't worry about it all the police say is that they'll continue to try to find us we all sit on the bed waiting for
00:59:56
them to arrive keeping in contact with our family when the police finally do arrive it is 8:00 a.m. J yep 8:00 a.m.
01:00:03
it took them over 3 hours to find us when we were literally in the heart of mikos wow that's upsetting when they get
01:00:11
there they ask us questions and we try to explain what happened to the best of our ability when we finally go outside
01:00:16
we see a huge black footprint on the window platform where he tried to come in that's terrifying they take our
01:00:22
statements and leave saying they'll update us if they find anything we never heard from them again awesome after the
01:00:27
police left we notified the Airbnb host about what happened and she was just an angel she gave us a full refund
01:00:33
apologized profusely saying that nothing like this has ever happened at the Airbnb and even recommended a safe Hotel
01:00:39
on the island what a mama bear we got out of that Airbnb so fast and went to check into the hotel that night in the
01:00:46
hotel we barricaded everything again just in case and all slept huddled together we ended up staying in mikinos
01:00:52
and it still is my favorite place I visited while stud ing abroad so don't let this story stop you from going maybe
01:00:57
just know where your Airbnb is and get home before 1:00 a.m. there you go I'm still left wondering what he wanted us
01:01:03
our passports money who knows all I know is screw that guy honestly when we got back home from studying abroad I got
01:01:09
