0:00:10.201 --> 0:00:13.881
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to the Chills. These are short, spooky stories

0:00:13.961 --> 0:00:16.361
<v Speaker 2>that you're most likely to get from a mate over

0:00:16.401 --> 0:00:18.841
<v Speaker 2>a whine or two a dinner. They're the sort of

0:00:18.841 --> 0:00:22.161
<v Speaker 2>stories that you don't believe unless, of course, they happen

0:00:22.241 --> 0:00:24.561
<v Speaker 2>to you. If you have a story that you think

0:00:24.601 --> 0:00:27.321
<v Speaker 2>could give us the chills, then email us at the

0:00:27.401 --> 0:00:36.481
<v Speaker 2>Chills at podshape dot com. Let's hear Ryan's story. Now.

0:00:36.521 --> 0:00:39.801
<v Speaker 2>I first heard this story as part of another podcast

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:43.721
<v Speaker 2>I was recording. It starts off pretty macabre, but trust me,

0:00:44.321 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 2>it will give you the chills by the time Ryan's done.

0:00:47.601 --> 0:00:50.441
<v Speaker 1>We were in Adelaide in my grandfather's house at the

0:00:50.480 --> 0:00:53.721
<v Speaker 1>time due to the fact that my grandfather had just

0:00:53.801 --> 0:00:57.801
<v Speaker 1>been murdered. How little did we know at that time.

0:00:58.281 --> 0:01:01.641
<v Speaker 1>It actually has turned out that my sister had actually

0:01:01.761 --> 0:01:03.281
<v Speaker 1>murdered him by dab again to that.

0:01:05.241 --> 0:01:07.561
<v Speaker 2>So now you have the context. If you want to

0:01:07.601 --> 0:01:10.960
<v Speaker 2>hear that story about Ryan's granddad being killed by his sister,

0:01:11.521 --> 0:01:14.121
<v Speaker 2>then you can listen to it in the full podcast

0:01:14.241 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>My Sister the Murderer, which is out now on the

0:01:16.961 --> 0:01:17.881
<v Speaker 2>player you're listening to.

0:01:19.081 --> 0:01:22.761
<v Speaker 1>So the first instance that we had is when we

0:01:22.801 --> 0:01:27.041
<v Speaker 1>first recovered the house. The police attended us over the keys.

0:01:27.321 --> 0:01:29.401
<v Speaker 1>My mum and I were the executors at the wheels,

0:01:29.481 --> 0:01:32.001
<v Speaker 1>so we were able to actually go back in once

0:01:32.041 --> 0:01:35.121
<v Speaker 1>they had cleaned it and whatnot. We decided that we

0:01:35.121 --> 0:01:39.641
<v Speaker 1>were going to re They changed the lock in the

0:01:39.681 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>front door and the back door as we thought that

0:01:42.241 --> 0:01:45.521
<v Speaker 1>the keys had gone astraight. When we were waiting for

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:49.041
<v Speaker 1>the locksmith to come, we were sitting in the formal lantern,

0:01:49.161 --> 0:01:52.601
<v Speaker 1>which is the face we never really got to go in.

0:01:52.681 --> 0:01:57.001
<v Speaker 1>It had a lot of my great grandmother's furniture in there,

0:01:57.201 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>and a few other keeps eggs, a lot of crystal,

0:01:59.961 --> 0:02:02.041
<v Speaker 1>that sort of thing, and so the doors were always

0:02:02.041 --> 0:02:04.921
<v Speaker 1>closed and it was always dark. At this particular night,

0:02:05.161 --> 0:02:08.001
<v Speaker 1>we were sitting in there on an old lounge suite

0:02:08.521 --> 0:02:13.441
<v Speaker 1>which was my great grandmother's, one of those green olive

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 1>dark with the big wooden arm breast and they could

0:02:17.561 --> 0:02:23.401
<v Speaker 1>actually recline by pulling that big wooden lever. Anyway, we

0:02:23.401 --> 0:02:26.441
<v Speaker 1>were sitting in there and my mum was talking about

0:02:26.441 --> 0:02:29.321
<v Speaker 1>some difficulties she was having with another family member about

0:02:29.321 --> 0:02:32.641
<v Speaker 1>the will, and I think she felt a little bit defeated,

0:02:32.721 --> 0:02:34.641
<v Speaker 1>and at the time she said, oh, I think I'm

0:02:34.641 --> 0:02:37.321
<v Speaker 1>just going to give up and just let him have

0:02:37.481 --> 0:02:40.641
<v Speaker 1>whatever money he wants to have. And as she said that,

0:02:40.761 --> 0:02:44.521
<v Speaker 1>the whole armchair that she was sitting in completely opened

0:02:44.641 --> 0:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>up and nearly flung her off the armchair. And she said, Uh, okay,

0:02:49.921 --> 0:02:52.361
<v Speaker 1>I take that as a sign I'm not going to succeed,

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.161
<v Speaker 1>like not go ahead with theirs. I will buy that.

0:02:57.121 --> 0:02:58.761
<v Speaker 1>It was a bit speaking at the time. We all

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:00.641
<v Speaker 1>looked at each other and had a bit of a

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:05.001
<v Speaker 1>moment going, oh, my god, did that actually just have.

0:03:07.641 --> 0:03:10.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Ryan had me at my sister killed my granddad.

0:03:10.841 --> 0:03:14.721
<v Speaker 2>But that story about the chair giving way, which felt

0:03:14.761 --> 0:03:17.881
<v Speaker 2>like someone from beyond was trying to tell Ryan something.

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.680
<v Speaker 2>It's creepy. But the next one blew me away.

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:29.161
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, funny enough. In the exact same room we were,

0:03:29.401 --> 0:03:31.281
<v Speaker 1>there was a mental peak clock that was in my

0:03:31.281 --> 0:03:35.801
<v Speaker 1>grandfather's house and I've always admired it from a little boy,

0:03:35.801 --> 0:03:37.881
<v Speaker 1>and I said, oh, what is that and who is that?

0:03:38.161 --> 0:03:40.601
<v Speaker 1>And I knew it to be again my great grandmother.

0:03:41.721 --> 0:03:44.121
<v Speaker 1>And I said to my grandfather as I was growing up,

0:03:44.201 --> 0:03:46.321
<v Speaker 1>I would love to have that one day, if you're

0:03:46.321 --> 0:03:48.801
<v Speaker 1>happy to pass it down. And so he said, yeah, absolutely,

0:03:48.881 --> 0:03:51.961
<v Speaker 1>it's yours, but it's broken. It's been broken for years.

0:03:52.041 --> 0:03:55.961
<v Speaker 1>I said, okay, no worries. Anyway, he did obviously pass away,

0:03:57.201 --> 0:03:59.401
<v Speaker 1>and when I was in the house with my sister

0:03:59.521 --> 0:04:02.241
<v Speaker 1>and my mom, I asked him my sister to help

0:04:02.361 --> 0:04:06.841
<v Speaker 1>in wrapping that. So I brought into the formal lunge

0:04:06.921 --> 0:04:09.281
<v Speaker 1>room again and I sat it on the floor and

0:04:09.321 --> 0:04:11.241
<v Speaker 1>I got the bubble wrap handy and I said, when

0:04:11.281 --> 0:04:14.121
<v Speaker 1>I pick up the bubble wrap and lay it, I

0:04:14.161 --> 0:04:17.361
<v Speaker 1>want you to pick up the mental piece clock and

0:04:17.601 --> 0:04:19.121
<v Speaker 1>lay it down for me, just so I can get

0:04:19.121 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 1>a flat And as she picked it up, it began

0:04:23.041 --> 0:04:28.561
<v Speaker 1>to chime so incredibly loudly throughout the whole house and

0:04:28.601 --> 0:04:34.721
<v Speaker 1>at times numerous times, and I went, oh, I thought

0:04:34.801 --> 0:04:38.281
<v Speaker 1>it was meant to be broken. And Britney's face went

0:04:38.361 --> 0:04:40.481
<v Speaker 1>wide as a ghost, and my mum on the other

0:04:40.561 --> 0:04:42.241
<v Speaker 1>side of the room like, what are you doing? What's

0:04:42.281 --> 0:04:46.121
<v Speaker 1>going on? What have you broken? Essentially, and she comes

0:04:46.161 --> 0:04:49.600
<v Speaker 1>in and this thing is still going off loud chime.

0:04:50.361 --> 0:04:53.801
<v Speaker 1>It eventually quietened, but it was still making like coe

0:04:54.121 --> 0:04:58.281
<v Speaker 1>chime noises. We wrapped it, we covered it, and I

0:04:58.361 --> 0:05:00.801
<v Speaker 1>ended up covering up with another layer of this paper,

0:05:00.801 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 1>and I could still hear it very quietly going in

0:05:04.041 --> 0:05:07.561
<v Speaker 1>the paper. Anyway, I put it into storage for about

0:05:07.561 --> 0:05:10.721
<v Speaker 1>a year, moved it up to prison eventually, and then

0:05:10.801 --> 0:05:13.681
<v Speaker 1>about another year later I got it out and I

0:05:13.721 --> 0:05:16.521
<v Speaker 1>wanted to put it in the house, and as I said,

0:05:16.561 --> 0:05:20.201
<v Speaker 1>it was broken, I couldn't seem to get the wine.

0:05:20.521 --> 0:05:23.841
<v Speaker 1>It wouldn't make any noise. And the clockface was broken

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 1>as well. It had the glass to be replaced. So

0:05:26.041 --> 0:05:29.161
<v Speaker 1>I took a tambourine mountains at the one of the

0:05:29.161 --> 0:05:33.201
<v Speaker 1>cuckoo clock places and I so, can you please fix

0:05:33.241 --> 0:05:34.881
<v Speaker 1>it for me? It's broken.

0:05:35.521 --> 0:05:38.161
<v Speaker 2>That shop Ryan's talking about, I know, well, it's a

0:05:38.201 --> 0:05:40.681
<v Speaker 2>cool little shop on the outskirts of the Gold Coast

0:05:40.721 --> 0:05:44.241
<v Speaker 2>and the hinterland. It's a place that most people from

0:05:44.241 --> 0:05:47.440
<v Speaker 2>around these parts know. When you walk in, there's every

0:05:47.481 --> 0:05:54.600
<v Speaker 2>type of cuckoo clock you can imagine. So Ryan walks

0:05:54.641 --> 0:06:00.041
<v Speaker 2>in carrying his granddad's treasured possession. At this stage, Ryan

0:06:00.161 --> 0:06:03.841
<v Speaker 2>knows that the face is broken and it's damaged, but

0:06:03.921 --> 0:06:07.921
<v Speaker 2>the chiming is ok because just a year before at

0:06:07.921 --> 0:06:11.601
<v Speaker 2>his granddad's house, it chimed while it was in the

0:06:11.641 --> 0:06:15.081
<v Speaker 2>hands of his sister, who would eventually be charged by

0:06:15.161 --> 0:06:18.201
<v Speaker 2>police with Ryan's granddad's murder.

0:06:18.601 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 1>I said, but I think the times worked fine. They

0:06:21.481 --> 0:06:23.801
<v Speaker 1>might go see the tumor. Anyway, it was with him

0:06:23.841 --> 0:06:25.761
<v Speaker 1>for a few weeks and I went back up there

0:06:25.801 --> 0:06:27.681
<v Speaker 1>and he said, oh, it's going to cost a little

0:06:27.681 --> 0:06:30.321
<v Speaker 1>bit more than what you're expecting to pay because she

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:34.081
<v Speaker 1>had to put in new times. And I said, oh,

0:06:34.281 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 1>what was wrong with the old one? They seem to

0:06:36.081 --> 0:06:39.561
<v Speaker 1>work perfectly fine. And they're like, there isn't any and

0:06:39.601 --> 0:06:42.601
<v Speaker 1>I said, oh, that's impossible because it was chiming when

0:06:42.641 --> 0:06:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I last it out. He said, no, it couldn't have.

0:06:46.161 --> 0:06:49.121
<v Speaker 1>There literally is nothing for it to bang against in

0:06:49.241 --> 0:06:53.160
<v Speaker 1>order for it to actually chime. And then we looked

0:06:53.161 --> 0:06:56.921
<v Speaker 1>back and obviously my sister was the one that actually

0:06:57.041 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 1>murdered my grandfather, and she was holding it at the

0:06:59.801 --> 0:07:00.801
<v Speaker 1>time of the prost off.

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:05.841
<v Speaker 2>Another sign from granddad.

0:07:07.001 --> 0:07:11.761
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, either granddad or my great grandmother, someone was trying

0:07:11.761 --> 0:07:12.521
<v Speaker 1>to tell her something.

0:07:12.601 --> 0:07:17.721
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, And you still have the clock now, I don't have.

0:07:17.721 --> 0:07:20.281
<v Speaker 1>The clock in my laundroom anymore. To be honest, it

0:07:20.361 --> 0:07:23.281
<v Speaker 1>to me the creeps a little bit. So it's downstairs

0:07:23.321 --> 0:07:26.561
<v Speaker 1>in the basement in storage. But yes, I still have it.

0:07:30.721 --> 0:07:33.281
<v Speaker 2>If you've got a story like Ryan's that can give

0:07:33.441 --> 0:07:36.521
<v Speaker 2>us the chills, then reach out and tell us it's

0:07:36.561 --> 0:07:41.081
<v Speaker 2>the chills. Podshat dot com. See you next time.
