1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: I live below a cult leader, and I fear I've

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: angered her. Part three Okay, Dakota. Last we left off

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: in part two, Opie's cult neighbors were caught red handed.

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: The fake smiles, the gas lighting about furniture rearranging, and

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: then the creepiest moment. After op complained about their party,

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: the cult group sang Happy Birthday in a haunting monotone

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: with no clapping or cheering, just eerie chanting. Opie finally

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: got attorneys involved, but then someone pounded on her door.

9
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: We've got one part left for this story, so let's

10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: find out if op survives this nightmare. But first, a

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: quick two minute break for the sponsors keeping this show alive.

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: And there is another part to the story, a final part.

13
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: Well, the first moment that you actually become alive is

14
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: when you realize that you are just one with the dirt,

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 2: with the Cult of the Dirt. Yeah, and that's what

16
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: they're there. They're actually there to bring you to live

17
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: for the first time ever.

18
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: They're like, you don't understand, We just want to bring

19
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: you closer to the dirt.

20
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: These people are so free, heated.

21
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: It's a mercy. This is yeah, this is really freaky.

22
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: I literally would have moved out so much, so much

23
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: quicker than OPI seems to be considering.

24
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,279
Speaker 3: That I would be making more of a problem.

25
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: I'd be disrupting their activities, genuine if my own I

26
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: would have a giant speaker on them as hot, as

27
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: close as I could to the ceiling, and I would

28
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: be playing the most obnoxious sounds possible. Yeah, just animal

29
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: noises like the or like the cocomelon intro.

30
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, over and over, but like bass boosted. Yeah.

31
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: Personally, I think I would just be going up every

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: time they did this and be like banging on their

33
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,279
Speaker 1: door and saying, like you need you need to stop.

34
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: I cannot deal with this. But let's get into part three.

35
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: The music and jumping increased after the knocking incident. Maybe

36
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: they were testing if I was home, But I'm rattled

37
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: by how I feel watched when I'm minding my own business.

38
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: At the same time, I want to keep LANDLD to

39
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: protect myself. I still have very little information about this group.

40
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: They're clearly escalating three events planned within one week despite

41
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: added pressure from everyone around them. In the meantime, I

42
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: edited a new video with my recent recordings, including the

43
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: creepiest Happy Birthday of all time. Footage of the living

44
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: room ceiling damage, audio recordings from the gatherings. Whenever my

45
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: neighbors succeed in making contact or I'm notified about a

46
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: solid resolution, I'll update the post. There's a YouTube.

47
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: Ooh mama, I can hear it. There's another crack growing

48
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: in the ceiling.

49
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: Lord.

50
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 3: It's just like, what do they do? What? What's going on?

51
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 4: I'm just waiting for the happy birthday.

52
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 3: Oh that's the note you hear.

53
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 4: It's like, have your birthday.

54
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: This is so holmeless, it's but it's it's like, yeah.

55
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: There's definitely something going on. There's some creepy thing going

56
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: on where it's like someone passes away and then that's

57
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: their actual birthday because they turned to the Earth mother

58
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: or whatever, the dirt mother.

59
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: Guess who it does. And then you can turn off

60
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: the computer audio and everything else should be okay.

61
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 3: Who oh boy, scary. I don't like it. I don't

62
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 3: like it.

63
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 1: But there are some comments common one, if you're in

64
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: the US, you can call the cops. Disturbing the piece

65
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: is a real thing. Also, get enough of those, and

66
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: it voids an apartment lease, making it easier for the

67
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: landlord to punt her out. OP says, yeah, that's part

68
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: of the plan. Now. I called the building manager again

69
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: this morning, and she said, next time, call the cops

70
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: asap for a noise complaint. Yes, I don't know how

71
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: you've gone through all of this and haven't called the cops.

72
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 3: That is actually absurd.

73
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: That way, we'll have the police report and more evidence.

74
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: Comment two says you're not in a safe situation, and

75
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: I would genuinely seriously consider moving or staying with family

76
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: or friends until you can break your lease. Op says, yeah.

77
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: My mom offered to drive out from our hometown to

78
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: stay with me if needed, But for now, I've asked

79
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: the building manager to give me a day's notice before

80
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: their attorney sends the letter. Then my boyfriend will stay

81
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: over and friends have offered a hangout during the day

82
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: so I'm never caught alone in the event of another confrontation.

83
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: There is a third update, but I think, yeah, call

84
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: the police, get family members to stay with you until

85
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: you can break the police But don't be in this

86
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: place alone because they've already stalked you. Yea, and they're

87
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: gonna blame you if we're getting them. We kicked out.

88
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: When your neighbors are stalking you and running a cult

89
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: that involves mixing dirt with like probably human remains and

90
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: then spreading it into your building, and then the sludge

91
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: is making your ceiling fall apart, it's time to call

92
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: the police.

93
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: It's maybe time to call the police.

94
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 3: It's been time to call the police. Eh, couch, there

95
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 3: we go.

96
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 4: Okay.

97
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: Update three Attorney letter after Matt fifteen days later, Tuesday evening,

98
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: my boyfriend and I were making dinner when we began

99
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: to hear a standard outburst of stomping and clomping overhead.

100
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: While I've continued to document the most egregious incidents since

101
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: building management promised to pursue legal action, I've also tried

102
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: to block out some of the sounds for the sake

103
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: of my mental health. This would drive me crazy. I

104
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: have really quick not I've been through anything like this,

105
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: but I have had like people come to work on

106
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: a roof and it was because we had a leak

107
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: actually after like the tropical storm that we had, and

108
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: you know it was in San Diego, so we had

109
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: a leak in the roof and so they had to

110
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: come redo the roof and literally just for from like

111
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: eight am to five pm, just doom doom, doom, doom,

112
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: doom doom all day and it drives you crazy. It's

113
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: like your mental health goes down so much when you

114
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: have to listen to that constant noise and construction. And

115
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: it's pretty similar in this case. But also you were

116
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: also terrified for your safety in this case, so it's

117
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:55,679
Speaker 1: even worse.

118
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't want to get turned into dirt, but.

119
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, no it is. It's just really an nightmare to

120
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: go through that, So definitely get out of there. My

121
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: boyfriend pointed out the Shenanigans from above he was genuinely startled,

122
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: to which I replied, I told you it's maddening. About

123
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes after the upstairs settled down, my flimsy front

124
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: doorbell rang. I crept over to look through the people

125
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: and cringed. My neighbors were on the other side of

126
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: the door, standing like statues with hands behind their backs

127
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: and heads cast down. All I'm not opening I'm not

128
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: opening that door, no saying I'm saying, what do you want?

129
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: And then if they don't say anything, I say, I've

130
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: calmed the police. Their determined stance signaled that there was

131
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: no way they would leave until I answered. If I

132
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: chose to ignore, I knew they would either return, send

133
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: a text, or stalk me on the street.

134
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 3: Again.

135
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: Since my boyfriend was present, I figured this confrontation was

136
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: the safest option, so I waved him over with fear

137
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: in my eyes that conveyed all he needed to know.

138
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: When I opened, there were no fixed miles. However, in

139
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: typical fashion, my neighbors began the conversation with a misdirection.

140
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: I just wanted to check in with youth thins. You

141
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: never responded to my text, the woman said, was there

142
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: something in the language? Or Keep in mind our final

143
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: text exchange had been over two weeks prior, so I

144
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: knew that was not the point of their visit. I

145
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: told her the language was fine. I just didn't know

146
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: what to say. From there, the gas lighting and denial

147
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: campaign took off in full swing. I told my neighbors

148
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: we had just heard commotion minutes before their arrival, which

149
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 1: elicited reactions of pure show and if you're new here,

150
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: there are multiple parts to this story, so make sure

151
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: to follow us on iHeartRadio app or Apple podcasts. Okay,

152
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: let's get back into this story. We were just drinking tea.

153
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: Ha hah, Yeah, we were just sitting on the couch

154
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: drinking tea. I'm literally like, this is me, this is me,

155
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: ball bing.

156
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: Ball, I don't know. I'm like, genuinely, I think.

157
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: They want top to crash out.

158
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 2: I'd be afraid of these people just because of how

159
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: unhinged their words are, but like they're not even like

160
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: scary words.

161
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 3: It's more just like, wol do you what universe? Do

162
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 3: you think? That's like, I'm gonna believe this.

163
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: Okay. There's an episode of Black Mirror where this girl

164
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: has a spoilers for Black Mirror, I don't know what

165
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: episode is, I haven't seen it, but she has this

166
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: like pendant that she can change reality, and she makes

167
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: it so only one girl knows that she's changed reality

168
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: and basically drives this girl mad. Yeah, Carly knows what

169
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. And this is what it feels like.

170
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: They're like, what are you talking about? And they're trying

171
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: to actively make apego mad because they're keeping her up.

172
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: Noise is just like a huge way to like make

173
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: someone go crazy.

174
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 3: But honestly, why haven't we invested in noise canceling headphones?

175
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: I think she has I think she said, I've been putting,

176
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: you know, blocking the sound.

177
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 3: No, we got to get those nice noise cancelers.

178
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

179
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: Rest of the conversation, which I tried to end three

180
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: times before they finally got to the point of their

181
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: check in, went similarly. Every statement I made was return

182
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: with expressions of bewilderment. Is if I were speaking in tongues,

183
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: and every response was riddled with lies. At times, the

184
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: couple would accidentally contradict themselves, such as that when Wednesday

185
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: party was the first time we had people over in

186
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, or since twenty twenty, right, since twenty

187
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: twenty and we didn't have any other parties that weekend,

188
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: especially not on Sunday. Sunday is when we have our

189
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: dance class. Yeah, and we were hungover on that Sunday

190
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: from our party. So they just keep going back and forth.

191
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 3: Just them.

192
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: I would not enter to I'd say night, get out,

193
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: stop talking to me, Get off my doorstep, go.

194
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: Back upstairs, call on the cops.

195
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 3: Don't talk to me again. Do you not come back? Hey,

196
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 3: it's John here. We're gonna get back to the stories.

197
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: Put a quick three minute ad break from our sponsors

198
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: that keep the show going.

199
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: They also claim that they're too old to be partiers,

200
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: even though they allegedly held three birthday parties in honor

201
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 1: of the guy. Since my neighbor is a dancer, her

202
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: body language became amusingly expressive, as if her motions would

203
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: somehow sway my opinions. Wait, I'm just imagining her being there,

204
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: like we never had a party. She we're too old

205
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: for parties.

206
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 3: I can't believe that you would say such.

207
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: What what are you talking about? That's crazy op At

208
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: one point, the woman said, wait, can you do the dancing?

209
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: I think we should resolve this right now, while undulating

210
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: her arms towards herself in.

211
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 3: My direction way she was doing that.

212
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: I think we should resolve this right now.

213
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 3: Get away from me. Shoo, I'm gonna I don't know

214
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 3: what is throwing water on somebody? Ram What can you do?

215
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: I don't know.

216
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 3: Close the day, officer. I just spilled that water.

217
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: It was I spilled that water.

218
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: It looks like what you should tell them, Yeah, get

219
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 2: a glass of water, splash it on them. And then

220
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 2: when they go, why did you do that? You go,

221
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: I don't know what you're talking about.

222
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 4: I can do anything.

223
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 3: It was raining, you're standing outside in the rain.

224
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: You flash. It looked like she was attempting to send

225
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: energy waves at me. How about this, she proposed, how

226
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: about one of you?

227
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 4: You?

228
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: Now, I'm imagining that her husband. She's doing the thing

229
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: where she has her arms behind her back, and her

230
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: husband's like, how about you you? It's just so weird, dude,

231
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: motioning at my boyfriend with both arms. Come up to

232
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: our apartment right now and walk around, swirling fingers in

233
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: a clockwise circle above her head. It's giving Coraline. Yes,

234
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: this is so scary. Don't go up to the apartment, Opie,

235
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: don't go up there. She's gonna take you to the other,

236
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: the other place, and she's gonna sew buttons into your eyes.

237
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: I could tell she really wanted to invite herself into

238
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: my apartment, but she sensed that wasn't an option given

239
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: my stoic demeanor. Throughout the entire panduring episode, I told

240
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: her no, we were making dinner. When they interrupted, Girl,

241
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: stop it.

242
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 2: Don't say no, we were making dinner. Say no, I

243
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 2: want nothing to do with you.

244
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: Op you watch that's the door close. It just just

245
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: shut it easy. At this point, my neighbors finally admitted

246
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: why they had come. They said they had received a

247
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: letter that was aggressive and included additional wild accusations. The

248
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: guy asked, point blank, did you involve the building? I

249
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: told him I did because I was confused and they

250
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: had not listened to my requests. I also said that

251
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: I genuinely don't know what the letter says. The building

252
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: manager told me to tell them that it was in

253
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: the hands of management.

254
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 4: Now.

255
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: With that, both members of the couple said okay. I

256
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: said okay, and they awkwardly retreated upstairs. I shut the door,

257
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: heart racing. I was so glad that my boyfriend was

258
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: present to witness the gas flighting and validate me. Every

259
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: time I interact with them, I'm left confused as to

260
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: what was even said. Within ten minutes of the confrontation,

261
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: I received a call from my super He said that,

262
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: presumably after our talk, the couple called to him and

263
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: asked what's going on. He said, I don't know. I'm

264
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: just the SUPA. They asked to schedule a meeting with him,

265
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: he declined. The following day, it was clear that the

266
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: neighbors were not happy. The woman moved their speaker and subwhoffer. Yes,

267
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: they admitted they have a subwhiffer in their apartment.

268
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 3: They have a sub wwiffer, they've got the subs, they've

269
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 3: got a subwoofer, They've got the subs back.

270
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: Into their living room and bumped it so loud that

271
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: the glasses on my bar cart were tinkling together rhythmically.

272
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: I emailed the building manager with videos of the repaired ceiling,

273
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: mentioned the confrontation, and attached a couple audio recordings of

274
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: jumping that I'd taken amidst writing the note. It's true

275
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: that neither my super nor I know the contents of

276
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: the letter. Was it a warning or a notice that

277
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: the eviction process would commence? But the building manager replied

278
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: that she was sorry they came downstairs, She didn't understand

279
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: why they felt the need to confront anyone, and hopefully

280
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: the letter would do its job. While all of this

281
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: sounds like I've made my situation worse, there's now a

282
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: silver lining of hope. After the increase in music and

283
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: jumping on Wednesday and Thursday, I noticed a stark change.

284
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: On Friday. I started to hear commotion as if the

285
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: couple was either soundproofing their entire unit or in the

286
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: act of moving. Think rearranging furniture, but for real this time.

287
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 3: Right, Because that is a distinct sound.

288
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: You can hear it.

289
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 2: It's different than jumping side trance music and jumping up

290
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: and down over and over and over again.

291
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: I heard items being dragged, loud bangs, and a power drill.

292
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: Maybe they're moving out.

293
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 3: They're taking the bodies out of the floor.

294
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: Oh, that's terrifying. The moving style activities continued throughout the weekend,

295
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: including Sunday morning when I saw a professional cleaner working

296
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: in the building stairwell I was leaving for a day trip.

297
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: Of course, they would not be evicted at the drop

298
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: of a hat. I mean, is it a drop of

299
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: the hat. The hat's been dropping for months.

300
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been at least a month. It's probably been longer.

301
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: However, I think it's possible that the letter angered the

302
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: couple enough to make an arrangement with the building. If

303
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: they leave on their own terms, they won't be penalized

304
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: for breaking the lease. The only other in person encounter

305
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: I've experienced since the confrontation was on Sunday evening. My

306
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: boyfriend and I were unloading our friend's car, which was

307
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: parked outside the apartment building after our day trip. It

308
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: was taking some time since my boyfriend couldn't find my

309
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: jacket he borrowed. Since I was preoccupied by the jacket,

310
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: I didn't give any thought to the neighbors. Right as

311
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: we geared up to shut the car doors and say

312
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: oh goodbye, I looked up to see my neighbors crossing

313
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: the street about fifteen feet in front of our car

314
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: while holding hands. And also she's holding hand and she's.

315
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 3: Going she's waving them around like its interpretive dance. Ooh,

316
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 3: and she's making ooh, she's making fairs noises.

317
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: They both looked to their left, made brief eye contact

318
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: with blank expressions, and then continued forward. Naturally, this could

319
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: be a coincidence, but the front window of their apartment

320
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: has a direct view of the street out front. It

321
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: was also somewhat late to be going out on a Sunday,

322
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 1: and they didn't enter any of the businesses that are

323
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: opposite our building. If they had wanted to avoid me,

324
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 1: I was quite conspicuous while holding a pumpkin. They could

325
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: have walked on the sidewalk behind us. I asked my

326
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: boyfriend if he saw them too. He did, but we've

327
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: got a little more, just a teeny bit to this

328
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: long tail. Any final thoughts.

329
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 2: I want to know what the sludge is, man, I

330
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 2: need to know what the sludge is now.

331
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: I need to know what the sludge is. Tell me

332
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: what the sludge is.

333
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 2: Tell me the sludge is not people, please, please please.

334
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: I'll ask my super if he knows about any developments,

335
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: including a potential move. The neighbors are still here, obviously,

336
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: but in the meantime, my ring camera arrived. I'll be

337
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: installing it outside my door this afternoon, which will give

338
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: me a better sense of what's happening. Let's see if

339
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: I receive a confirmation that they are really heading out

340
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: the door once and for all. If they aren't, I

341
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: expect my ring camera will provide evidence as to how

342
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: many and how often people are participating in the jumping routines.

343
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: When I woke up this morning, I immediately heard some

344
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: of my overhead light fixtures shaking as the neighbors dance

345
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: to music with hand drums and a singer shouting in

346
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: a foreign language. So my torture continues, but signs point

347
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: to a peaceful or at least a piece for storing

348
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: resolution on the horizon. Common one says, they're really erratic

349
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: behavior sounds beyond cult stuff. It sounds like substances, but

350
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: who knows. Op says, yeah. After the seven and a

351
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: half dance party on Sunday, I also started to suspect

352
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: that substances are in. I also wonder what kind of

353
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: bush medicines they're making on a patio in an urban area.

354
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: And another commoner says, genuinely, f those guys. Some people

355
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: just have no consideration of others. And I'm so sorry

356
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,719
Speaker 1: you have to go through this. Could you stay at

357
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 1: your boyfriend's place temporarily while this blows over? Op says,

358
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: thank you for the support he's offered for me to stay,

359
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: and I will if I notice them continuing to stalk me.

360
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: But I worry that me leaving for an extended period

361
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: will only serve as an invitation for the neighbors to

362
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: escalate again. I traveled a lot during the summer, which

363
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: is likely when the gathering started, so I'd rather stick

364
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: around to keep them in check. I also got my

365
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: ring camera set up, so that makes me feel a

366
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: bit better. And folks, that's the end of that story. Man,

367
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 1: oh man, what a tale? Oh p I'm glad that

368
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: your neighbors are getting out, but if you ever experience

369
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: anything like that, call the cops. If your super and

370
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: your landlords aren't doing anything about it, bang on their doors.

371
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: Get people to help you. You don't have to be

372
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: nice about it. Don't worry about being a snitch the

373
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: people who so. But that is the end of that

374
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: story and the end of this episode. So if you
