1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:24,240 You can hear me, but you can't hear the music? 2 00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:26,640 Yeah, how am I supposed to get hyped up with no music? 3 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:34,800 And whatever. Anyways, hey everybody. Hey everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Cryptic Cocktail Party. I'm your host Dave. 4 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:41,760 I'm Saj! Hi! We're still working on it. I'm Saj the Destroyer from the internet. 5 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:51,920 We're off to a rough start. Yeah, anyways, how you doing buddy? You looking good? 6 00:00:51,920 --> 00:01:00,800 I'm good. I'm good. I'm doing phenomenal. I'm taking my sons to Legoland out in Goshen, New York tomorrow. 7 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,600 That's going to be a fun drive. Four hours through Connecticut. 8 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,320 Hey man, I have to do it all the time to go back to New Hampshire. So it's not too too bad. 9 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,600 You know Connecticut is... Oh yeah, but the problem is you have to drive through Pennsylvania. 10 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,640 Well, I don't have to drive through... All right, if I was on like the Pittsburgh end, that would suck. 11 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:27,120 But like I'm two minutes and I'm in Jersey and then I'm like a half hour from there I'm in New York and then like an hour or so I'm in Connecticut. 12 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,760 Like once I hit Connecticut, I know I'm at like almost a halfway point to New Hampshire. 13 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:37,760 Mostly because the traffic in Connecticut is way worse somehow than New York and Massachusetts. 14 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:45,760 I think it's just because they all suck at being humans in general there. So, but I always wanted to go to Legoland. 15 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:53,040 But are you going to like Legoland like the theme park or like Legoland like just like the store? 16 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,240 No, it's a theme park. 17 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,600 Okay. Now... 18 00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:02,880 Yeah, it's a theme park. It's got... The best part is when you get in the elevator, it plays disco music as it goes up. 19 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:08,240 And there's like a disco ball and like the lights flash. It's... I don't know why. 20 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,800 It activates something in my brain that immediately makes me 10 years old again. 21 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:20,080 All right. See, I've always wanted to go to Legoland, but I've always been on the impression that you can't go if you don't have a child. 22 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,760 I believe that's the case. 23 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:29,760 Yeah, they do do do do. They do do like an adults only like night. 24 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,920 Yeah, they do. They do an adults only night. Yep. 25 00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:37,440 But it's like once every like few months and it's always like in the middle of the weekday. 26 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,000 Like I can't... 27 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:38,640 Well, yeah. 28 00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:43,760 Like I'm not going to fucking like... Because I would kill to go to Legoland. 29 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:51,360 I remember going... Off topic. I went... When I was a kid, we went to Germany because my grandparents live there. 30 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,200 And we went to K'nex Land, not going to lie. Not as cool as fucking... 31 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:57,840 Not as cool. 32 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,360 Not as cool as Legoland. 33 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:00,160 Close. 34 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,960 Yeah. Wait, can you be taking your kids places? Doesn't want to have COVID. 35 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,360 Like, isn't he fucking sick? 36 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,880 Oh, no, no. He's good now. 37 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:13,760 Okay. All right. Yeah. I mean, COVID doesn't last... COVID's not like old COVID. This is new COVID. 38 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,720 New COVID takes like two days to get over and then you're fine. It's like a cold. 39 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,320 Gotcha. Gotcha. All right. I just... 40 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,560 But yeah, that sounds awesome, man. A bit... 41 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,360 Yeah, I'm excited. 42 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:26,960 Have you been before? 43 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:34,800 Oh, yeah. Yeah. We went when it first opened for my son's 10th birthday. Now it's his 13th birthday. 44 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,960 Is this like a welcome to puberty kind of like special occasion? Like in a few years, 45 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,440 you're not going to want to do this. So let's get it over with. 46 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,520 Oh, no. In this family, he will always want to do this because my whole house 47 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,720 is surrounded by Legos, as you can see. 48 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:49,440 Oh, yeah. 49 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,800 So like, it's a whole thing. And for those of you listening, just know that I just showed a badass 50 00:03:54,800 --> 00:04:02,480 Lego collection. My entire room down here, it's 360 degrees of Legos. You can't look somewhere 51 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:09,200 without seeing them. Yeah. Which makes it very hard when I'm working for me to have like serious 52 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:16,720 HR type conversations when I'm also looking at three different Lego Millennium Falcons. 53 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:17,840 Yeah, that's, you know... 54 00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:22,880 I mean, I'm at that point, too, where I'm literally trying to figure out what stuff to get rid of. 55 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,240 It's like trying to pick which one of your kids is your favorite. 56 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,920 Yeah. But I mean, that's I feel like that's easier said than done. 57 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:38,320 Yeah. So, but yeah, so we're going to Legoland and I'm going to be a giant child for basically two 58 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,320 days. Going down on Monday and then coming back on Tuesday. 59 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:47,680 Well, if you see any cool fucking like cryptid Lego minis, fucking scoop some up and send them 60 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:52,320 my way. I'll fucking, I'll then use a few a few ducats for that. 61 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,280 You got it. 62 00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:59,600 Well, that's cool. That's a pretty good bright spot for your week. I got a really good 63 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,240 I got a bright little bright spot that I came across today. So we live. 64 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:09,840 Yeah. We live pretty close to not pretty close. We live like pretty much right beside 95 in Philly. 65 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,440 And they just redid underneath like the entire length of where we live. It's 66 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,440 like all parking underneath it. Like they made it like an actual usable space and not just 67 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:25,280 under a bridge, which you know what I mean? But because of that, there is kind of like not a 68 00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:32,160 homeless problem, which I mean, it doesn't mean it's a problem, but someone put a sign made out 69 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:38,640 of plywood and bolted it to a stop sign that says, oh, I love it. Take your drugs and sex and trash 70 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:48,240 with you. And then it gives a, and then it gives a list of things that, oh, and also inside of all 71 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:55,680 the O's and take your drugs and trash with you. And like the dotting of the eyes are all smiley 72 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,400 faces. So I don't know if this is an adult or a child, but on it, it says, it gives a list of 73 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:07,440 things they want you to take with you when you leave underneath that 95 needles, caps, crack jars, 74 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:18,800 baggies, glass dicks, blunt, blunt guts, condoms, new and used with two exclamation points. And then 75 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:24,800 a smiley face, like a smiley face underneath it. Now I, I, I pose to you this question. What is a 76 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:31,520 glass dick? My first thought was like a crack pipe. My wife, my wife said, you know, maybe, 77 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:37,840 maybe it's a dildo. I was like, first of all, glass dildos cost like way more than just regular 78 00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:41,440 silicone dildos. So then no one's leaving those bad. And then we both came to the conclusion that 79 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:46,560 maybe this person who made this sign doesn't know anything about drugs. And they think that 80 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,600 like the, like just a regular weed bowl, cause it kind of looks like a dick. 81 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,200 Like, do you think they mean that? But also who's leaving behind glass bowls again, 82 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:03,040 far more expensive than just make you getting a pen, like a pen and some tin foil. Like. 83 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,840 That is amazing. I don't know. The sign made my day. It was one of the funniest. I knew, 84 00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:13,840 I knew a woman who had a pink bowl. It was like a light pink bowl and it was shaped like a dick. 85 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,120 Yeah. I mean, I've seen. The bowl part was in the balls. Yeah. And then of course you. 86 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,400 I mean, I've, I've, I've seen those before, but just, but I'd need to know what a glass 87 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:30,080 dick is. And also the fact that I'm guessing it's just the pipe. It's just some unsophisticated 88 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:36,000 Rube who's like, you suck it on that pipe. It's a dick. But also I walk underneath that 89 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:42,160 this all the time. I've never seen whatever the fuck they're talking about. I mean, 90 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,760 I've seen needles, but I live in the city. That is going to be needles no matter where you are. 91 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,920 And it's not like, it's not like a pile. Like, it's not like a, I mean, it's not, 92 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,920 it's not like a fucking hazmat situation where like you need, do you know what I mean? Like 93 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,320 you see it. I mean, also you're under a bridge. Like what are you expecting down there? 94 00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,680 True. It's not fucking Narnia. 95 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,000 And I'm a big fan of being underneath bridges. I like when I was in my youth and I was like, 96 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:12,640 super punks, I'd go down on bridges, spray paint, fucking get drunk. I, I'm a big fan of hanging out 97 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:17,440 under bridges. Yeah. And most people you meet under there, super nice. Are they addicted to 98 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:22,320 heroin? Probably, but that's maybe, you know what I mean? But like, whatever. Never had a bad 99 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,000 experience under a bridge. Now, obviously I can't speak for everyone because there's been a lot of 100 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,600 terrible things that happened under a bridge, but fucking leave these people alone. There was that 101 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,920 guy in Florida, I believe we had his face eaten off. I think he was under a bridge. No, that was 102 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:39,200 on top of a bridge. That was like on like on top of the bridge. Okay. Sorry. They got helicopter 103 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:45,520 footage of that bath salts guy. Are you sure? I really thought he was like coming out from 104 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:50,080 underneath the bridge. No, you can walk in on the sidewalk. We watched you. You could watch it. 105 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,760 I watched, I mean, I watched it, but it was a long time ago. It was back when the internet was fun 106 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,680 and you could still watch stuff like that. Yeah. Speaking of the internet, uh, 107 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,640 you ready to, uh, dive into today's topic? Oh yeah, that's right. We're, we're podcast. 108 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,680 Yeah, I know. I forget sometimes too. Yeah, me too. All right. So today we're going to be going to 109 00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:12,560 the land between the lakes. Are you familiar with the land between the lakes? 110 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:18,880 I've heard of it, but I also have been playing a lot of Elden Ring. So it could be, it might be 111 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:26,400 fun like conflating the two. Yeah. All right. So the land between the lakes is a 171,000 acre 112 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:31,840 recreational area that sits in both Kentucky and Tennessee between Lake Barkley and the Kentucky 113 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:38,640 lake. Uh, altogether, it consists of more than 300 miles of shoreline, 200 miles of walking trails, 114 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:44,800 and just like endless acres of unbroken forest. It's a spot where locals and tourists alike go 115 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:52,000 camping, fishing, or, or partake in the more popular activity there. Bird watching. Apparently 116 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,240 the land between the lakes or LBL for short, uh, is apparently the most popular inland birding area 117 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:04,160 in the Eastern United States with over 250 species of birds observed there since 1963. 118 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,800 I thought you, I added that in there because I know you're a bird lover. You have one who 119 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:14,240 makes guest appearances on the show very frequently. You don't, let's, uh, let's just spell that myth 120 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:21,760 right now. Um, my daughter is a bird lover. And you take care of the bird. So you love the bird. 121 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:29,920 I got her two birds thinking this would help her learn some responsibility and, and relax a little 122 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:37,600 bit. And then I found out that she was allergic to birds. Is that a thing? Yes. I guess, I guess so. 123 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,760 That's something you can't find out until you're like pretty much in contact with a bird until you 124 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:49,200 have one in your house that you have invested money in. And then me being the sucker that I am, I can't, 125 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:58,800 I don't feel right going back to the pet store and being like, take these. So I took on these two birds. 126 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:06,640 Okay. And now one of them who I think might be the Highlander because I've had it for like 127 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:13,840 well over five years at this point. Yeah. Birds live forever, dude. So I like this bird. Okay. 128 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:20,400 Because I've lived with it for five years. Gotcha. But I don't like all birds because they shit on 129 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:26,000 stuff and I hate that. Yeah. So I'll just go to your nest and squeeze one out and grow a tail right 130 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,200 above your heads. So just to reiterate, Sarge, bird lover. I figured you would love that. 131 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:41,920 No, no, no. Oh, fuck. Not going to scrap the episode with, with all it has to offer the LBL 132 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,120 land between the lakes. I'm going to call it LBL from now on because saying land between the lakes is 133 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:51,280 aggressive. It's a tongue twister. However, LBL sounds like a weird fundamentalist version of like 134 00:11:52,000 --> 00:12:00,160 the Mormon faith, but the LBL has now become the focal point of the region's now $600 million 135 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:07,360 tourism industry. And the area was also once designated a UNESCO biosphere reserve. And I say 136 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:15,760 once was because the Trump administration withdrew it from the program in 2017. But in this lush area, 137 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:21,920 a seemingly untapped nature, something more ominous may have made its home today, Sarge. We're going 138 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:27,120 to be covering the beast of LBL and the land between the lakes massacre. Is this something that 139 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,120 you might be familiar with? Do you think? No, no, no, I'm interested, but I do want to provide 140 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:36,560 some context as to why Trump eliminated that bio biosphere. It was because it might be oil 141 00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:42,400 there or something designation. He heard that birds were migratory and then just immediately 142 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:50,560 assumed they were all coming from Mexico. So I mean, are they not? I mean, they have vice 143 00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:57,360 over the winter. I don't want any migrant birds. They're the worst. Now in this area, there's always 144 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:03,520 been talk of supernatural ship hauntings, Native American curses, mysterious orb like lights that 145 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:09,120 hung around graves and over the waters. And these were presumed to be the spirits of those who graves 146 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:14,160 were flooded. Oh yeah. So it's like a Bridgewater triangle situation. Well, kind of. So the land 147 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:20,160 between the lakes was originally called the land between the rivers until the government came and 148 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:27,920 made a bunch of dams. And then the government, the army Corps of engineers, usually they send out. 149 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,840 Yeah. They were kind of, but the government was like eminent domain or whatever, and just kicked 150 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:38,000 a bunch of people out of their homes. Entire towns ended up under the water. So, so there's a bunch 151 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,600 of graves and like homes and shit underneath the water. So that's what they think. These lights 152 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:47,280 that were above the water are. Yeah. According to one source I read, there are at least 250 153 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,120 family graveyards scattered throughout the surrounding forests, as well as underwater, 154 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:57,760 as well as as well as countless revolutionary and civil war grave sites and just a ton of like 155 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:03,600 native American graves and holy sites now lost to the lakes and also the dense forest that no one's 156 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:08,080 allowed to be in because it's a protected area. So it makes sense that there's some sort of like 157 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:15,440 supernatural tomfoolery afoot, I guess is the best self don't go swimming there. Yeah. There's like 158 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:22,320 entire towns that are just under this lake or both these lakes. But ghost orbs and bog witches, 159 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,400 which is another thing that was rumored to have been lurking in the woods, aren't what we're here 160 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:31,840 to discuss. The creature that strikes fear into the hearts of those that live and play in the area 161 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:37,440 is known as the beast of LBL. It's described as being a wolf like creature that stands on his 162 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:44,080 hind legs. It stands over seven feet tall with long course hair covering its entire body. Its head is 163 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:49,520 massive. It wears a short sleeve white button down shirt, a black tie, and it keeps asking you if you 164 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:56,880 want to go to church with it. Its head is massive and wolf like with an extra long snout with 165 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:01,600 unnaturally sharp teeth. Like apparently the incisors on this thing are fucking like, 166 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,320 like saber tooth almost, but like fits in the mouth. It's fucked up. Like unnaturally sharp 167 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:12,000 teeth, like like scalpels. I don't know, dude. It's just what it said, bro. I don't know. Well, 168 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,640 look, I'm, I'm trying to paint a picture of my mind. All right. I don't think they're like serrated 169 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:21,840 or like razor sharp, but I mean like pointy sharp, like, I don't know. All right. Sharp 170 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:27,600 and then a dog's teeth. Yes. Uh, it's, it's arms are long, but muscular ending in huge hands with 171 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:32,960 long spindly fingers and sharp pony claws that could cut down any livestock in like one fell swoop. 172 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,680 So we're talking like Kellyanne Conway right now. Pretty much. It's, uh, it's feet are like that of 173 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,960 a man's, but the tracks that leaves behind are kind of unusual. It leaves behind like the barefoot 174 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,360 impression of a man's foot, but where the toes are, it looks as though they're padded, like a 175 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:53,760 paw print almost. Okay. It's howl is something even like the most seasoned of outdoorsmen know 176 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,680 that when, like when you hear it, you just get the fuck out. It was described as an unnatural 177 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:06,720 guttural sounds of painful hunger and agony. So that's not great. Okay. Uh, uh, so the beast of 178 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:13,200 LBL is what the cryptic community would classify in these days as a dog man dog. Men are like pretty 179 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:19,920 hot, quote unquote hot in the community right now for some reason. And it's cause of all the erotica 180 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,720 on Amazon. Yeah. I did see one called nodded by the dog man. And I thought that was one of the 181 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:33,760 funniest fucking things. Oh God. Oh God. It's, which implies that it has the penis of a dog and 182 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:40,400 a nod. Okay. I'm glad we're all just to be on the same page here. Uh, yeah. Yeah. Unfortunately, 183 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:46,080 I know what that means. I wish I didn't, you know? Yeah. Now I'm going to be, I'll be the first to 184 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:52,880 say it just like big foot. I'm not convinced at all that the dog man is real. Okay. I'm just going 185 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:58,640 to flat out say it. I don't believe in the dog man, but this story rules. So I'm just going to 186 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:03,760 tell it cause I think let's go with it. Just go with it. Legends of the beast of LBL. Like they aren't 187 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:09,840 new. It's been around for at the very least a hundred years or so, obviously again, it's gaining 188 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:15,040 popularity now because everything is a dog man or a werewolf or something fucking stupid. 189 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,440 Naturally, but it's probably been around longer. I mean, just like big foot. I'm sure the native 190 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:25,760 Americans had like their own lore about it. Yeah. Uh, you know, like stories passed down from family 191 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:30,640 member to family member, town to town. You know how oral traditions go. Yeah. And with each new 192 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:36,960 encounter or story, the tales were like updated and changed to reflect the, the changes, I guess. 193 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:43,520 Uh, some people told the story as the beast being a native American shaman who uses powers for evil 194 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,560 and was killed in his wolf state. And now roams the area is kind of just like one last like, fuck you 195 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:56,400 to like, yeah, the area, uh, others claim it was a cursed or disease man that at night turned into 196 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:01,600 a werewolf basically. And that curse like continued down his bloodline, like to this day, you know, 197 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,200 it's just like a continuation of that. And then like others just claim it's like straight up, 198 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:12,160 just like the devil or whatever. It's just like demons. Um, turns out it's a guy who just cooks 199 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:18,000 meth in the woods. Yeah. And uh, settings of the beast continue obviously to this day, mostly it 200 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:23,360 coming out, killing some pigs and cows and shit, whatever horses. Uh, one dude said that he was 201 00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:29,760 cleaning his horse stables or something one night and the beast kind of like side jumped out of one 202 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,720 of the stalls with its arms spread out. Like it was going to grab him like a, like, I'm going to get 203 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:44,720 you. But, uh, but it just, it just screamed at him and then ran past him out of the barn. 204 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:49,360 And the man who told this story also admitted that he quote unquote, what his overalls. So 205 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,720 that's kind of funny. This is not the first time that we've heard of somebody who made poopies 206 00:18:54,720 --> 00:19:00,640 when they saw a monster and every time I hear it, I love it. It just, it adds so much to the story, 207 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:08,240 but the story that caught my eye is a story that has, is a story that has no official police record, 208 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:14,640 no media coverage. And the source for this is an article written by a gas station employee named 209 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:21,120 Jan Peterson, who heard the story from two cops that came into their store at 3 AM and also claims 210 00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:27,920 there is a coverup. And that's why there's blackout on information. So process that information, 211 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:34,320 however you want. It's wild because even knowing all of this, there's documentaries made about this 212 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:40,800 story. There are multiple episodes. There's probably full podcasts dedicated to this story. 213 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:46,800 And they know this, they know that this is, this is the only source. Absolutely amazing. So the 214 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:52,240 story goes that one night in the mid 1980s, Jan Peterson was working the graveyard shift at a gas 215 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:58,000 station when two officers came in looking shaken, terrified, and just all around like visibly upset. 216 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,480 One of them even looked like he was going to like puke. Oh, so like normal cops. Yeah. So the cops 217 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:07,200 come in, get some coffees and some waters and went outside and sat on the curb. Since there were no 218 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:12,320 other customers, Jan decided to step outside and see what was going on or maybe help ease their minds 219 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:17,440 or whatever. Just friendly small township. Uh, they, she even offered some roll aides to the man who 220 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:23,840 looked like, uh, so he's going to puke. And apparently in her words with his shaking hand, 221 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:30,720 he took them and put them in his mouth. It's, but I love it. Yeah. Uh, they sat in silence until one 222 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:37,440 of the officers for some reason decided to go into great detail about their active murder investigation 223 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:44,320 that they just came from. Random gas station employee. Now you got an honest face. Let me 224 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,800 tell you about all the secrets from this investigation. Yeah. Now her telling of it reads like a creative 225 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:53,760 writing prompt. So instead of me reading all of it and trying to put it into my own words, I'm just 226 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:59,760 going to read to you what she wrote because one, yes, please. I'm lazy as fuck. And two, it's just 227 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:07,200 way funnier. So now you gotta read it. Yeah. So this is what she says that they told her. 228 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:13,440 Okay. Are you ready for this? I'm ready. Let's go. They had, they had gotten the call to help 229 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:18,960 with an investigation at one of the many rural campgrounds down in LBL. The tour season was 230 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:23,520 about to start in a few weeks. So the usual, also by the way, I'm reading this off of a blog that 231 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:30,080 has like one of those old, like, like the color of the font and the color of the background are so 232 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:36,720 aggressive to the eyes that reading this is very hard. What is it like black background with red or 233 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:43,920 green font? It's yeah. Uh, it's actually like neon yellow. Now the tour season was about to start in 234 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:48,560 a few weeks. So as usual, there were some early arrivals that had come to claim prime camping 235 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:54,320 spots before the areas were overrun with tents, campers and travel trailers. The sun was setting 236 00:21:54,320 --> 00:22:00,320 low. I don't know how she got all this information because this is way too much. The sun was setting 237 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,880 low in the sky when they arrived at the scene. Several other office official vehicles were 238 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:10,160 already there and there are many more to come as they would see, you find out many coming from 239 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:16,000 other counties and a few coming all the way from another state. Several of these, several of these 240 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,960 to come were corners from different counties. One corner vehicle was already present as well as an 241 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:26,560 ambulance, which would prove useless as there was no one to save. The victims were all dead, 242 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,480 quite dead, completely, totally and thoroughly deceased. 243 00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:38,160 A young married couple that had come to take it easy for a few days were the first to discover 244 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,480 the ghastly scene. Neither one of them wanted to stay behind while the other went for help. So they 245 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:47,680 both nervously traveled to the nearest town, Grand Rivers and called the authorities. They did not 246 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,880 return to LBL. They merely gave the arriving of officer directions to the area of discovery and 247 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,440 rented a local hotel room. With the sun going down, it got dark pretty fast. So there was a 248 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:02,160 flurry of floodlights from the cruisers being pointed in all directions, along with the excited 249 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:07,520 movements of $50 flashlights being held by nervous restless hands, searching the trees, the grounds, 250 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:13,680 the leaves, the shadows. You can tell that this woman, this was her time to shine. She was like, 251 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:18,560 I have always wanted to be a writer and now I'm finally here. There was a parked motor home at 252 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:24,160 the site, its frame being lit by a campfire close by a fire that had almost went out on its own, 253 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,560 but had been rekindled by the new crowd of men in uniform so that they could have more light. 254 00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:34,080 The front and back doors of the home were open. One of the doors hanging by one hinge in a crooked 255 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:40,080 slant through the windows, they could see zigzag movements of luminosity as the beams from flash 256 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:45,840 lights search the interior. Bloody hand prints slid down the thin metal walls close to the front 257 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,880 door and more bloody hand prints could be seen the length, the length towards the back door. 258 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:55,280 There are images dancing eerily in the firelight, like some ancient tribal symbols. 259 00:23:55,280 --> 00:24:07,600 Bro, who taught this person to write? I don't know. Hold on. Adam and Bill, also she gave these 260 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:13,520 people names to protect their identities. So Adam and Bill are the two cops. Adam and Bill did not 261 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,760 even want to imagine what was inside the motor home, but then again, they would soon find out 262 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:23,920 that it wasn't what was inside, but what was outside that would change their lives forever. 263 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,480 There was already crime scene tape placed in numerous scattered parts of the area. 264 00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:34,000 The little white flags on metal stakes stuck into the ground marking evidence. Evidence of ripped 265 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:40,480 clothing, bodies and body parts separated by limbs, a pile of bowels, pieces of loose flesh clinging 266 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:46,240 to muscle tissue. What used to be three bodies that just hours before had been a happy family 267 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:51,200 on a happy vacation to create happy memories. But now there were just three distinct buttocks. 268 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:58,080 Is a father, a mother and a young son. The happiness was gone, destroyed by a psychotic madman 269 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:03,680 or was it men? A murderous rage had taken place. Once so abhorrently appalling that there were a 270 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,840 few witnesses to the scene that had kept their composure or held their recently eaten dinners 271 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:12,880 down. At first sight, the victims appeared to be butchered by some unnameable weapon, possibly an 272 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:20,320 axe or a chainsaw. Upon further inspection by the first arriving coroner, the wounds on the bodies 273 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:25,120 were determined not to have been caused by a sharp instrument but rather by some piercing well-defined 274 00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:35,120 claws. In other words, by some keen mordently long incisors. Wildcat, bear, wolves? The coroner shook 275 00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:40,640 his head in baffled disagreement with each guest from the officers. The claw marks, for instance, 276 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:47,840 on the back of the father's corpse was distinctly made by four long claws with a smaller digit like 277 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:53,280 a thumb on the side. A span wider than a man's print, wider and different than bears marks, 278 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:58,880 with deeply deliberate gouges in the flesh. Rake marks from an angry unknown source trying to grab 279 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:04,160 its prey that was no doubt trying to escape. The wildcat and wolf's theory was dismissed as an 280 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:11,520 as the open wound marks were apparently made by a more grandiose animal source. The marks were much 281 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:17,040 larger than any mountain lion, wolf or coyote. Whatever did it had a larger snout and more 282 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:23,120 sizable teeth. There was also indications of the larger areas of the cadavers, a bite marks where 283 00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:28,000 the flesh, meat and bone had been yanked away from the body. Like a human who bites into an apple and 284 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:34,320 leaves the impression of his bite and teeth marks. So there so were the open wounds on these 285 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:40,640 individuals. Bears, well they aren't native to the area but who knows maybe a grizzly did sneak in 286 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:46,640 some way but that was far-fetched. He would have had to have traveled several states and crossed 287 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:52,880 several rivers to even get close to this part of Kentucky. Everyone present was betting on the 288 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:58,400 quote-unquote bear hypothesis anyway and no one even thought of anything, sorry this is so hard 289 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:03,920 to read, even thought of so poorly written of anything else to be the cause of such a savage 290 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:09,520 attack. A bear, it had to be a bear. From the back door of the motor home an officer stepped down 291 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:14,800 slowly holding in his hands some type of garment, a dress, a small dress that would have fit a small 292 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:19,840 girl of around five years old. He informed the onlookers that there was more little girls clothing 293 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:24,400 packed inside the coach. Oh yeah they only found the bodies of the mom, the dad, the son so that's 294 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:30,960 what. Okay. This meant that there was a missing person or an absent body, a member of the family. 295 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:36,560 They all prayed she was still alive somehow, hiding somewhere. A new search began. As time went by 296 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:41,440 additional law enforcement employees arrived as well as a few volunteer rescue squad members. 297 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,600 Groups were spread out in assigned areas to examine and explore. Another coroner arrived to 298 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:51,200 assist in the identification of and cause of death and much later a third one showed up. This one 299 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,680 from a nearby state. All types of samples were placed in plastic bags marked as evidence and 300 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,920 carefully stowed away. As they were packaging up what appeared to be one of the father's arms, 301 00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:04,480 one of the doctors noticed something wrapped between the dead fingers. Some tweezers slowly 302 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:09,600 untangled a clump of long gray and brown hairs. This too was placed in the bag and marked and put 303 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:14,480 away to be analyzed at a lab later. From somewhere in the woods about 50 yards from the campfire, 304 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:20,240 a scream was heard. A man's shriek that turned into a long wail and then to whimpering. As others 305 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:25,680 arrived they could see the gleam of several flashlights that the cop was holding. Several 306 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:31,440 flashlights that the cop was holding. He was holding three flashlights. What the fuck. As 307 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:36,800 others arrived they could see, they could see, oh they could see by the gleam of several flashlights 308 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:42,480 that the cop was holding his hat in one hand and his light in the other. There was blood on his face, 309 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:47,520 the front of his shirt and on the brim of his hat. More blood could be seen dripping on him. 310 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:52,240 It was coming from above, high in the trees. The flashlight swung searching for the source of the 311 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:58,000 mysterious bleeding. A very small hand could be seen dangling down from a tree limb way up high 312 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:04,160 as well as a slender lifeless leg that still had a white sock still on the foot. The missing child 313 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:10,400 had been located. It had been Adam that the blood had trickled upon, hitting his hat first, making 314 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:16,960 him look up and then feeling the thick cold fluid sprinkling down his face and sliding down to his 315 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,520 neatly buttoned shirt. It had been Adam that screamed. The little girl had apparently been 316 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:27,600 carried up the tree and leisurely eaten upon while carefully laid across the large tree branch. 317 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:33,760 More of the same long gray and brown hairs were found sticking in the bark and the tree nearby 318 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,040 near her body. How are you doing so far, Sarge? I feel like I should check in on you. 319 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:44,000 The writing in this is so bad that it's hard to pay attention. Like when she was like, 320 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:49,920 it could have been a bear, but it had to have traveled across three states in a number of 321 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:54,400 rivers. I mean, by that logic, it could have been a lion that just had to get in a boat. 322 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:59,760 Like, are you fucking kidding? Yeah, it's not, it's not well, it's not well written. 323 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:04,160 That's not it. She's like, oh, the dad severed arm and he has dead fingers. 324 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,840 There was hair. Well, yeah, we know the fingers are dead because it's not attached to a person 325 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:16,800 anymore. You fucking clown. This sounds like the worst Reddit creepy pasta I've ever read. 326 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:24,000 Like, I'm sorry, guys. I know you don't know me from anyone. You don't know why I am this mad, 327 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:32,480 but I am a creative writing minor. 90 percent of my degrees came from my ability to write a sentence 328 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:38,640 coherently. And I'm not like an expert in grammar, but I know that like you don't need to say half 329 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:44,640 the shit this person was saying. Like every other sentence is a redundancy built on the first on the 330 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:50,320 previous sentence. Well, yeah, but here's the thing. This is this is what this is word for word. What 331 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:57,200 the cops told her they. Yeah, exactly. It is word for word. The cops are like it was a cold, 332 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:02,560 dark, sultry night. What are you talking about? It's a cold, dark, sultry. Yeah, don't worry about 333 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:08,480 it. But anyways, after seven hours, most of the officers were sent away as a new team of investigators 334 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:13,920 arrived. They were told not to talk to any one of the incident, especially not the media. I am sure 335 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:18,480 that besides Adam and Bill, there were others who had to confess what they saw that night. If in fact, 336 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:23,680 this whole event ever really happened, witnesses that had to divulge the awful secret of this, 337 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:29,440 that atrocious, the atrocious discovery at one of the campgrounds at LBL. About a month after sitting 338 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:34,560 outside with about a month. Oh, OK. About a month after sitting outside with Adam and Bill that 339 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:39,360 night, they stopped in again during one of my midnight shifts. They're both rather quiet, 340 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:44,160 more serious in nature, not like before the incident where they would get around while 341 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:49,280 drinking their sodas and eating a snack or two. They had both aged in some odd way. Streaks of 342 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:54,080 gray that had not been there before highlighted both of their heads of hair. Their faces had 343 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:59,280 lines of worry and showed signs of stress. I would see them again and again many times afterwards. 344 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:04,880 But on this particular evening, they informed me that they got word about some of the lab tests 345 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:10,160 that were taken that dreadful night. The tests on the saliva taken from the from the bite marks and 346 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:15,680 from the hair found on the man's fingers in the in the tree bark came back with an unknown species 347 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:21,840 origin. The closest animal that they could compare it to was that of Canis lupus, a wolf. 348 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:38,160 It's just full on jerk off motion. Thing is, this story, super compelling. I love the idea. I love 349 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:43,360 everything about it except for the writing has completely ruined it for me. Now I don't even care. 350 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:48,960 Now I hope everyone's dead. Yeah. But but that's I mean, and this goes on, but that's that's the 351 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:55,680 story of the massacre of at a lab between the lakes. She just go on to say that whether Adam 352 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,680 and Bill had played an elaborate hoax on me, I'll never really know for sure. But their sincerity 353 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:04,560 and fear painted a picture of truth in their eyes and actions. And then she goes on to say there 354 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,160 were several more stories that I've heard about this werewolf over and I'll be out, but I'm not going 355 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,840 to fucking read any of that because I don't care. Yeah. I really hope she doesn't write any more 356 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:18,480 stories because it would take forever for her to be like a guy got killed by an undisclosed bear 357 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:25,120 like wolf like creature. Yeah. It would be 25 paragraphs and she would have 13 13 different 358 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:32,320 sentences to describe how old somebody looked. Yeah. She does. She does say that you will never 359 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,960 read about this in the papers or hear about it on the news or get a confession from any law enforcement 360 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:43,680 official or man of office. The media will say it's a bunch of hoo ha or just prank, silly stories, 361 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:49,360 urban legends, lies, tall tales and such. This is that's weirdly convenient because they told her 362 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:54,400 right away. This is tourism country and that means millions of dollars to the area. So you can't scare 363 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:59,920 off business. Can you? And by the way, that's a great place to end this. I'm only halfway down 364 00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:04,640 the page of the article. She already says everything she needed to say and she just keeps going. So, 365 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:10,960 Oh God. Yeah. But wow. Yeah. There you have it. You find this on Reddit? No, no, this is on 366 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:20,720 dude. If you Google massacre of land between the lakes or whatever, like you'll find like a full on 367 00:34:20,720 --> 00:34:25,520 documentary by small town monsters who was the most incredible fucking asshole bullshit that I can 368 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:30,080 think of. And I've called them out before, especially when they called fucking the, 369 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:36,160 they called the Ruger, a skinwalker and all they, they're just bad all around. They promote, 370 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:41,520 they promote a bunch of native American legends as like, they just steal them. Yeah. It's bad. 371 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:47,200 But yeah, there's like, this is like a heavily believed in thing in the cryptic community. Like 372 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,680 they, they believe that this happened because it's gotten so muddied over the, because the 373 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:58,160 original post no longer exists. This, I took this from someone who found it, was able to save it 374 00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:02,720 and then post it on the, it's actually a phantasmonsters.com the same one where I got 375 00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:09,840 the, the mantis man stories from that explains the over describing of the muscly arms of this 376 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:15,360 creature. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. But there you have it. So yeah, what do you, what do you, 377 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:20,560 what do you think? But writing aside, yeah, writing aside, I'm not, I'm not going to harp on it 378 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:25,920 anymore. My anger has subsided. Yeah. Focusing on like the story itself, like how we, how we feeling? 379 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:32,000 I mean, I like it. I like it, but I think, I think what's missing is just the, the, we got like the 380 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:37,840 one story about the police. Yeah. I would have, and I'm going to just have to look it up myself, 381 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,200 but I want to see like what other people have said, like what, what other people have seen, 382 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:48,400 is there any consistency to the description of it? I mean, but I find it very interesting. 383 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:53,600 Like the description of the beast. Yeah. Yeah. It's all consistent across the board. But I mean, 384 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:57,280 if you, if you, if you grew up in this area, you know, with a description, you could easily make 385 00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:01,760 up the story. I want to find it. I just don't want to get eaten by it. You know what I mean? 386 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:06,320 Set up some trail cams. Let's make this happen. But I mean, it's just like, it's like every story 387 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:12,880 of anyone encountering the dog, man, it's always like, they always describe it as like, it's a 388 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:18,480 ferocious creature that upon sight will murder you and you know, whatever. But it's like every 389 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:23,200 story I've ever heard of the dog, man is like, I saw it. It looked at me growled and then ran away. 390 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:28,960 It's like, no one, like, you know what I mean? It's like, I've never heard a story like I was 391 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:35,280 attacked by it survived. And well, maybe with the family, the dog, man took a bite and was like, 392 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,680 I don't like the way this tastes. And now he runs away from people. Cause he's like, 393 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,840 Oh, broccoli. You know what I mean? Like you just don't taste good. So you're saying he's like, 394 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:48,320 he's curious, like a shark, like a shark, like humans aren't in their food chain, but they'll, 395 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:54,560 they'll take a bite. But then they'll spit you out. Like, yeah. Or maybe, or maybe like the family 396 00:36:54,560 --> 00:37:00,400 just played baby shark too much in the, in the, in the dog, man was just like, all right, I'm done. 397 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:07,200 Well, this isn't, this isn't the mid 80s. So, so maybe they played some raffy. Oh, he was popular. 398 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,600 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They could have done that. I don't know. Dogs are very sensitive to sound. 399 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:16,880 So maybe the dog heard that horrible music and decided to kill the whole family. Yeah. I just, 400 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:23,280 the dog dog, man, I don't, I don't buy it, dude. I mean, it's weird because I do believe in a lot 401 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:28,480 of weird shit. Do I believe in a lot of things that we talk about on the show? No. Are there some, 402 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:33,920 are there some things that I do? Hell yeah, man. Like I want them to be real. Yes. Do I believe 403 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:39,200 they're real? No. It's just like same thing with big foot and like any of the bigger quote unquote, 404 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:44,320 like bigger cryptids, like the sightings are never compelling. It's always just like, I saw it from a 405 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:49,040 distance, like at least with like the stuff that we cover, especially the more niche ones, like 406 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:53,440 flat was like, there was people face to face with it. It was a one-off thing. Like they didn't see 407 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:58,000 from a distance. They encountered a creature. They encountered something with this shit. It's like, 408 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:04,080 yeah, you know, I saw a wolf man. He was, yeah, what ruined the believability for me was the 409 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:12,400 terrible writing because my thought is this person was trying to write like a creepy pasta on Reddit. 410 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:19,280 They weren't actually trying to tell a real story, but even if like it was real and like don't add 411 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:24,400 like flavor, the flavor, like, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like that's why I think it's fake. Like 412 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:29,840 it's fake. Like write what you remember, write down like what you can somewhat remember what they 413 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:37,040 exactly said. Like don't add like, you know what I mean? Like fucking all this flavor texts and also, 414 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:44,800 and again, the entire story that I told you was in the middle of this entire long fucking post. Like 415 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:49,360 just give me the details. Like don't add like. That's why I said at the beginning, this was 416 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:59,680 clearly her time to shine. Yeah. Like she needed to write this like super detailed, heavily described 417 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:04,320 flowery bullshit when she could have just been like, I knew these two cops and they told me about a 418 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:10,320 fucking wolf man that killed a bunch of people. Here's the details. Way more believable than 419 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:18,000 it was a dark night. There were many flashlights, $50 flashlights. Yeah. So this is, so this is, 420 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:24,000 this is the header of the article on phantoms and monsters. It says the article, the following 421 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:29,840 article is written by Jan Thompson and forwarded to me by my colleague, Ben Peveller of the NAFS, 422 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:34,480 the website where this article originally appeared was taken down by the author after she was deemed 423 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:40,640 a liar and a fraud. Oh, Yatsi. There you go. I'm not the only one. And then it says, uh, I'm not 424 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:45,280 going to go into the scenario considering the source of the accusation. The article has been 425 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:51,600 reprinted by others though. I cannot attest to the exact content. Those, those, those versions 426 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:57,760 presented Ben believes that Jan story is credible and he is from the area of the incident and has 427 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:03,920 talked to others who have met Jan, but not, but not the office. All right. Uh, I also want to give 428 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:09,040 credit to Barton Nunley, who brought this story to the public's attention in his documentary, 429 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:15,040 hunt the dog, man, high strangeness in Western Kentucky. And then again, there's also a small 430 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:19,760 town monsters documentary about it as well as countless episodes of podcasts, stuff like that. 431 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:26,400 Like, I mean, you can believe it if you want, but to me, this is just fucking great. It's not real. 432 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:32,400 It's it's bullshit. I really think it's like slender, man. It's a creepy pasta and this person 433 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:38,240 thought they were going to pull one over and it just, all of it smacks of nonsense. But the other 434 00:40:38,240 --> 00:40:44,320 thing too, is that like, this is like the perfect, like you're this area already heavy heavily 435 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,800 believes in shit like this. You know what I mean? Like it's been around forever. So to write this, 436 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:54,000 to be from the area and then to have someone who's also from the area, part of like a fucking like 437 00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:01,200 cryptid paranormal group, like kind of give you their backing even makes it more credible, 438 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:07,040 even though it's like clearly not like, yeah, but the, but the, the, the big red flag for me, 439 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:12,800 and which I don't understand how no one else, because I hate to say it, but the cryptic community 440 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:18,960 and the fucking conspiracy and like weird right wing, they all kind of mesh together at certain 441 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:23,680 points. So they don't care about the fact that the biggest red flag was when she started out with, 442 00:41:24,720 --> 00:41:30,480 you won't find this in the newspaper. You won't find it in the media. There'll be no police records 443 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:35,680 of this because they want to keep it hush hush because it'll impact tourism. Yeah. That's the 444 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:41,360 biggest red flag. If you can't verify that this fucking happened, it didn't happen. There's no way. 445 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:46,800 Yeah. Also the media cannot wait to report things. Exactly. And you're telling me that like 446 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:56,720 Jan, not even like a firsthand witness. This is like a third hand witness. Like it's nonsense. 447 00:41:56,720 --> 00:41:59,840 It just absolute nonsense. It just frustrates me because like shit like this, like this is why I 448 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:04,400 hate fucking dog man, big foot. And I hate all the new skin walker shit because like it just muddies 449 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:10,080 the water of just like what actually might actually be out there. But also, I don't know. I don't know 450 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:14,000 the history of the dog, man. Like, I don't know if this is like appropriation of like a Native 451 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:18,080 American thing. It probably fucking could be. And we're just probably we're just being super white 452 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:24,000 about it. And I don't want to do that. But who the fuck knows, man? I don't know. Yeah. The thing 453 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:28,960 that annoys me the most about it. And this is what triggered me to believe that it wasn't real was 454 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:35,120 just like you were saying, how descriptive she was about everything. Yeah. When you're telling 455 00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:39,760 somebody else's story, you don't you don't add flourishes. Yeah. I've never been like I've never 456 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:45,200 witnessed something and then had to tell a friend about it and be like, yeah, man, dude, it was a 457 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:51,360 it was a cold and brisk autumn evening. Yeah. Sun was setting just below the horizon. 458 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,600 The amber unless you were trying to make a joke out of it. Like if you were trying to fuck around 459 00:42:55,600 --> 00:43:01,280 to the end, that would make sense. Well, like, yeah, like don't don't like the guys were like, 460 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:05,360 yeah, it's like seven o'clock. We went to this trailer. A bunch of people died and she's like, 461 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:12,400 seven o'clock. The sun was just setting below the. Oh, no. My favorite part was this is this is where 462 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:17,600 it started for me when I when my bullshit meter went off. It was a very beginning when she's like, 463 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:23,360 the sun was setting low in the sky. Yeah. When does the sun set high in the sky? You fucking idiot. 464 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:28,080 When when once have you ever seen the sun set, you know, at noon? What if there's a mountain in the 465 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:35,200 way? Then it's setting high and it's still low. Not really. It's big mountain, Everest, big mountain. 466 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:42,400 Also, is Kentucky and is Kentucky and Tennessee? I think there's some mountains that way. There's 467 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:46,720 a lot of hills in Kentucky. I know for sure, but well, I think there might also be some mountains. 468 00:43:46,720 --> 00:43:51,280 I didn't look this up, but like is is the the line between the lakes? It's got to be like kind of 469 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:56,160 that's like Appalachia kind of area, right? It's going to be our longest episode ever because 470 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,360 we're just going to fucking sit here and talk shit about this for so long. 471 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:05,680 I'm looking it up right now, but I feel like we don't ever break down the stories we're telling. 472 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:09,360 I think this is a good time to do it because this is clearly nonsense, but I just don't understand 473 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:15,600 how like if I Google massacre between the lakes, like you're going to get so many results and 474 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:22,160 they're all going to do like this run right here. This is from July 29th, 2024. OK, so it is part 475 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:28,080 of the Appalachian mountain range. Yeah, but if you Google the massacre of land between the lakes 476 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:33,120 or land between lakes massacre, you get a bunch of like stuff like new like stuff like from this year 477 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:41,440 talking about it and how like it's real. And again, the new like this article right here from 2024, 478 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:46,800 it says the newest entry about the LBL massacres entitled Dogman territory, werewolves in the land 479 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:52,000 between the lakes, which first of all, even though dog man's not real, it's not a werewolf. It's like 480 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:59,920 it's not a dude who turns into a wolf. It's just a fucking wolf man. Like I don't like it's like 481 00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:07,600 how like they did the Rougarou like they said that like the Rougarou is a werewolf. It's not 482 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:12,000 huge. Yeah, they're just making more out of it than it needs than there needs to be. 483 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:16,720 Like a werewolf, you're cursed. You don't want to be a werewolf like a Rougarou. You want you become 484 00:45:16,720 --> 00:45:21,760 like you actively seek out becoming that same thing with like the dog man. Like the dog man is 485 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:26,720 just a fucking dog man. I don't know. Anyway, Sarge. Yeah, we're getting we're just 486 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,240 two thumbs way down on the reality of this. Two thumbs way down. 487 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,680 This one. And if I had a third thumb, it would be three thumbs down for the writing. 488 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:43,200 Yeah. Oh, God. The writing was so bad. But anyways, this is uh, that's it. We're done. 489 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:49,200 All right, Sarge. So that's the episode. We did good. I think it's a long survive. It's a longer 490 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:53,840 one. It was dumb. It was really fucking stupid, but it was funny and I had a good time. Yeah. 491 00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:58,320 People will appreciate it. Yeah. All right. Is there anything you want to plug?
