WEBVTT - Short Stuff: Dodleston Messages

0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Hey, and welcome to the Short Stuff. I'm Josh and

0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 1>there's Chuck and this is short stuff. So let's talk

0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the mystery that annoys Chuck. Yeah, it annoys me too,

0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:18.680
<v Speaker 1>all right, good. I just found myself getting mad when

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I read this. No, but it's it's interesting though at

0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>the very least you got to give it that sure creative,

0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:27.160
<v Speaker 1>because Chuck we're talking about today has it all. It's

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:30.440
<v Speaker 1>got poultry geist, activity, has time travel, it's got early

0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:34.720
<v Speaker 1>UM computers from the mid eighties, it's got the UK,

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>it's got a fraud. Yeah, it has a lot of

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 1>stuff in it. And um, what we're talking about. He

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:45.479
<v Speaker 1>is known as the Dondalston Messages and it's a I

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:49.880
<v Speaker 1>guess a fairly well known occult event that took place

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>in Doddleston, um, which is I think in Chess here, yeah, um,

0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 1>in England in the mid eighties. I believe it was

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:03.319
<v Speaker 1>eighty six over span of eighteen months. And it was

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 1>so strange that the people involved wrote a book about

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:11.199
<v Speaker 1>it and we're still talking about it today, that's right. Uh.

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:15.520
<v Speaker 1>There's a gentleman named Ken Webster and his wife Debbie

0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>who bought an old cottage Meadow Cottage because they named

0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>their cottages over there, and sure, and this thing was old.

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 1>It was eighteen century brick cottage and they were fixing

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 1>it up and um, and this is just sort of

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.959
<v Speaker 1>a precursor to the messages. But apparently there was some

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>other weird goings on before the messages. Uh, and that

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.360
<v Speaker 1>when they were fixing it up one night, Uh they

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:43.760
<v Speaker 1>are one day they noticed some six toed footprints in

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>the dust that walked up the wall between the bathroom

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>in the kitchen. Uh ken that they reckoned it was

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>a prank and uh they had a guest staying with him, Nick,

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 1>and they all kind of decided it was a prank

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 1>by whom I don't know, But they decided to paint

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 1>over all that stuff off. And the next day they

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.920
<v Speaker 1>found footprints in the paint as well. Yeah. And then

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.959
<v Speaker 1>cat food packages or little cans were stacked up in pyramids,

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.680
<v Speaker 1>real Poulter guy stuff. Yeah, Poulter Guests the movie by

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Toby Hupairr. So Um, this this that was Yeah, like

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>you said, it was kind of a precursion to the

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.240
<v Speaker 1>whole thing. Um, and it really took off and got

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>strange when um, what was the guy's first name Webster.

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.360
<v Speaker 1>When Ken Webster, who was a teacher at a school,

0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 1>brought home a BBC micro computer and it had a

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>word processor UM program on it called Edward w r

0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 1>D pretty cute and um. He would write on it,

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 1>he would use it, and every once in a while

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 1>a weird message would pop up. And it got even

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 1>weirder when it turned out that the author of these messages,

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 1>who Ken Webster, his girlfriend Debbie, and their their house

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 1>guest Nick All said, we don't know who's doing this. Uh.

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 1>The author of those messages claimed to be living in

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 1>the year fifteen forty six, and it actually lived in

0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 1>that same cottage, or was living in that same cottage

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>in fifty six when he's writing these messages to them

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.919
<v Speaker 1>in which is immediately weird because it was an eighteenth

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>century cottage. Yeah. But the one thing we do want

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 1>to point out that wasn't quite clear to me at

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>first is that this computer was not hooked up to

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.959
<v Speaker 1>some early kind of modem in some early weird version

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.800
<v Speaker 1>of the Internet in the sticks of England. It was

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 1>just a computer sitting there alone, and ostensibly these messages

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 1>would just appear on that word program, right, Yes, and

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>all right, very very big, also really important. Anytime you

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 1>turn that computer off, like you couldn't save anything. You

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 1>could save it on like a floppy disc. But if

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 1>you turn the computer on it whatever was on their

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 1>last wouldn't just be there again. Okay, that's great. I

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 1>think before we take a break, we should read uh

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 1>some of the early posts. Um. The messages began by

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 1>saying basically, who are you people? Um, you've stolen my house.

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 1>The first message ever on the computer said the following,

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 1>true are the nightmares of a person that fears safe?

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Or the bodies of the silent world? Turn pretty flower

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 1>turned towards the sun, for you shall grow and so,

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.320
<v Speaker 1>but the flowers reaches too high and withers in the

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 1>burning light. Get out your bricks. Pussycat. Pussycat went to

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 1>London to seek fame and fortune. Faith must not be lost,

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 1>for this shall be your redeemer. It's pretty yeah, I

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 1>mean it's pretty creepy. Admittedly, if if I were to

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 1>get a message like that on a computer not plugged

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>into the Internet, it would be great. Yeah, it takes

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 1>a real turn with Pussycat. Pussycat went to London to

0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 1>seek fame and fortune. It seems like a cusatory, you know. Yeah.

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 1>So this was I think that was the first message

0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 1>that ken Webster got, and he went on to write

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.640
<v Speaker 1>book I think in eight nine called The Vertical Plane

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:06.000
<v Speaker 1>that chronicles all this and more. UM And like you said,

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:07.600
<v Speaker 1>we're going to take a short break and we'll come

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:09.480
<v Speaker 1>back and talk about this some more, because it gets

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 1>even weirder shortly after stuff you should know, stuf, stuff

0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 1>you should you should know. Okay, So ken Webster's intrigued,

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:52.719
<v Speaker 1>and he starts asking questions of this author who signs UM.

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 1>The early post is l W and then finally later

0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>on L the L turns out to Standford Lucas with

0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.719
<v Speaker 1>a K, and Lucas is writing in what's called early

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:07.919
<v Speaker 1>modern English UM, which is not really easy to recreate

0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 1>in any kind of fast manner, which is one of

0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 1>the defenses that Ken Webster UM brought whenever he's accused

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.480
<v Speaker 1>of this being a hoax. He's like, first of all,

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how to do that, and secondly, I

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.040
<v Speaker 1>certainly don't know how to do it in any kind

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 1>of quick manner. And some of these supposedly came back

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>like answers came back rather quickly when he would ask

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:31.479
<v Speaker 1>them a question. Yeah, he said, I doth have no

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:36.720
<v Speaker 1>talent forthwith Uh, here's the second just it's fun reading these.

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.039
<v Speaker 1>Here's the second message. I ride on behalf of many

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.200
<v Speaker 1>What strange words you speak. You are a worthy good

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.200
<v Speaker 1>man who has a fanciful woman, and you live in

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:50.159
<v Speaker 1>my house, who dwell in my home with lights which

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.840
<v Speaker 1>the devil makes It was a great crime to have

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.240
<v Speaker 1>stolen bribed my house. Yeah, so this is the point

0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.039
<v Speaker 1>where Lucas is like, what are you guys doing in

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 1>my house? Um? And apparently in fairly short order they

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.720
<v Speaker 1>developed kind of a fondness for one another. So like

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 1>the the accusations and the problems with them living in

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>that cottage, um get dropped pretty quickly and they start

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 1>going back and forth. And um, I just saw it

0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 1>described as a mutual a deep mutual affection for one

0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:23.240
<v Speaker 1>another that developed. Yeah, from the other side, just a

0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 1>pinbell from another dimension. But here's the thing, m h,

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>there's some there's some holes in the story. There's some

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 1>problems with the logic to all this. If you haven't

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.680
<v Speaker 1>picked up on that by now at computer, one of

0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the ones that pops up and I didn't catch the

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.120
<v Speaker 1>eighteenth century cottage thing, and apparently no one else in

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the world did either except for you, Chuck, So congratulations

0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 1>on that. But Um, one of the things that that

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 1>um Lucas does to kind of set a trap for

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Ken to see if they're actually if he actually is

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 1>from the future like he reported, was that Lucas told

0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 1>them that he was educated at Jesus College, Oxford Jesus

0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 1>or hay Suits, one of the two um, and that

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.480
<v Speaker 1>the problem with that is that that Jesus College wasn't

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 1>founded until fifteen seventy one. Remember he's writing from fifty six,

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>so he is saying, like, if you're from the future,

0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 1>you would know that Jesus College wasn't founded yet from

0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:22.240
<v Speaker 1>the time that I'm writing from. But the problem with

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 1>that is, how would Lucas know that this Jesus College

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 1>was coming years and years after the time that he

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:35.320
<v Speaker 1>is ostensibly writing from. It's a problem. There's a real

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.440
<v Speaker 1>another name that came out later. Apparently Lucas wasn't the

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:42.600
<v Speaker 1>real name, but it was Thomas either Harden or Hawarden,

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:48.079
<v Speaker 1>and they say that someone that had that name existed

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 1>in the fifteen fifteenth nearby. No, not nearby, a hundred

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 1>and fifty miles away, which might as well be in

0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:58.200
<v Speaker 1>another dimension at that time. You know, well that's nearby

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.280
<v Speaker 1>to me, but sure, I guess at the time it yeah,

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:04.280
<v Speaker 1>in the fifteen fifties with a donkey pulling you around. Okay,

0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 1>good point. Another cool thing that I think we should

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 1>mention is that there were times where it appeared that

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Thomas a k A. Lucas could see what they were doing,

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.080
<v Speaker 1>because the guy Ken had a picture of his car

0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 1>a Jaguar near the computer, and like the the Thomas

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:25.360
<v Speaker 1>person referenced that picture in the message and said, I

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 1>found a picture of your cart, but it is a

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.560
<v Speaker 1>crude thing, for without the horse it won't go far.

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.880
<v Speaker 1>So apparently this thing can see them, which is a

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.280
<v Speaker 1>pretty key thing. But also I literally wrote ha ha

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 1>next to that, because it's so dumb. You see a

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.680
<v Speaker 1>picture of a Jaguar automobile, do you think you'd be like,

0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:45.960
<v Speaker 1>that's a cart without a horse. I know exactly what

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.079
<v Speaker 1>that is. Well, I mean I had wheels and it's squaring.

0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.280
<v Speaker 1>It's just I mean I could see that was the

0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 1>one that was like, well, there's there's the basically the

0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 1>admission of guilt by Ken Webster right there. Uh, this

0:09:57.880 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 1>thing gets a little weirder though even right does take

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Chuck Well, a third player, a second ghost, and a

0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:10.160
<v Speaker 1>third player comes into this when uh, someone named one

0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 1>O nine pops onto the scene. Yeah, and twenty one

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:18.440
<v Speaker 1>nine popped onto the scene inadvertently because Lucas reference twenty

0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.360
<v Speaker 1>one O nine and a post because when Ken Webster

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.880
<v Speaker 1>said he's from the year, Lucas says, I thought you

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.440
<v Speaker 1>were also from twenty one o nine, like your friend

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 1>who brought the box of lights pray, And he didn't

0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 1>say box of lights. He said Leam's boist, which is

0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:38.680
<v Speaker 1>early modern English four box of lights, which everyone has taken. Two.

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.720
<v Speaker 1>They taken all that to mean that the traveler, the

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:48.480
<v Speaker 1>time traveler from nine brought Thomas or Lucas a computer. Okay,

0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:51.640
<v Speaker 1>how would you operate a computer though in fifty six

0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:55.280
<v Speaker 1>is a big question that I have as well. Yeah.

0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 1>The other question I have is, uh, did these messages

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 1>here before his eyes? Or I did see where he

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.160
<v Speaker 1>would take like a car drive and come back, and

0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:06.920
<v Speaker 1>that they would they would be there? Is that how

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.880
<v Speaker 1>it generally worked? That's what I saw. Yeah, Like he

0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.480
<v Speaker 1>never thought to just round the clock, sit there and

0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>watch the computer. I guess not, or maybe he tried

0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 1>and it didn't work, so that's when he would go

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.439
<v Speaker 1>for a drive. Who knows, or maybe he made all

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:23.320
<v Speaker 1>this up. So what was possible? So Ken Webster says, well,

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.560
<v Speaker 1>there's a there's a third party involved in there from

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty one o nine, I'm gonna start trying to message them,

0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:30.840
<v Speaker 1>and in very short order, twenty one o nine, who

0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:34.600
<v Speaker 1>only referred to themselves as they or them um, they

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:38.840
<v Speaker 1>responded and they said, hey, man, we're not really happy

0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.559
<v Speaker 1>that you stumbled upon our presence. Like we're we've been

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:45.800
<v Speaker 1>basically running an experiment here that you and Lucas and

0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Debbie are all involved in and it's going to change

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.679
<v Speaker 1>the world. So just pretend like we don't exist. We're

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:53.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna go back into the woodwork now and just keep

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 1>watching and manipulating. Right. Eventually they bring in a paranormal

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:04.920
<v Speaker 1>investig Asian team, the Society for Psychical Physical Psychical. Yeah,

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:08.079
<v Speaker 1>the s SPR. We've talked about them plenty of times. Yeah,

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 1>am I saying that psychical research? Uh, And they brought

0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.440
<v Speaker 1>them to investigate. They came out three times said we

0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:20.559
<v Speaker 1>got nothing, No, activity at all. Um Thomas eventually said that, uh,

0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.120
<v Speaker 1>he was forced out of the land, so maybe that

0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.240
<v Speaker 1>was the deal. He lived at a place that was there,

0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and it wasn't necessarily the same cottage, but at any rate,

0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 1>he said he was never heard from again, and but

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.680
<v Speaker 1>did say he would leave something for them to discover

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:37.360
<v Speaker 1>in the future, right, Yeah, He said that he would

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.200
<v Speaker 1>write from his perspective this series of events in a

0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:41.960
<v Speaker 1>book and would leave it in a place that it

0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 1>could be discovered. So kenn and Debbie and everyone who

0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.000
<v Speaker 1>believes in the Dottalston messages are waiting for that book

0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:52.360
<v Speaker 1>to be found to prove this once and for all again.

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.040
<v Speaker 1>It's possible that book doesn't exist. It's possible this was

0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.560
<v Speaker 1>a hoax. Um. There's a really good post on it

0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 1>called um on um on a site called The Joy

0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 1>of Mirror Words by Tom Ruffles. It's called The Vertical

0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Plane by Ken Webster. I guess it's a book review.

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:10.520
<v Speaker 1>And Tom Ruffles, PhD is very generous by considering that

0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:14.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe Kennon Debbie we're doing this but weren't aware of it,

0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.960
<v Speaker 1>That maybe they were using telekinesis and weren't aware of it,

0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 1>and that's how these messages were being generated. Before he

0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.679
<v Speaker 1>finally settles on it's likeliest that this was just all

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 1>a hoax. As for what Chuck believes, if you couldn't

0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:33.840
<v Speaker 1>tell fraud, Occam's razor tells me it is fraud. There

0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:37.600
<v Speaker 1>are no haunted computers the end. Yeah, which is kind

0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 1>of a bummer because I I was anticipating us to

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 1>at least kind of entertain this for a second. But

0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:46.440
<v Speaker 1>it's impossible. It's impossible. Well, fun story, It is a

0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.560
<v Speaker 1>fun story. How about that? So Chuck said it's impossible.

0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I said, it's impossible. We've given our final judgments. That

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:58.719
<v Speaker 1>means short stuff is out. Stuff you Should Know is

0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.600
