Speaker 1: Bridgewater is a production of iHeart Radio three D Audio
Speaker 1: and Grimm and Mild from Aaronmankey Headphones recommended for a
Speaker 1: full exposure Listen with headphones. Listener discretion advised. Dad at
Speaker 1: why ya h oh m hmm yeah, good morning, Professor,
Speaker 1: morning um, Professor Bradshaw. Did you sleep here? M hm no,
Speaker 1: uh no, No. I got here a few hours ago
Speaker 1: and I couldn't sleep, and I was just I was
Speaker 1: just trying to get some work done. And I guess
Speaker 1: my own writing was that thing that finally put me
Speaker 1: to sleep. Okay, I have to ask, are you okay? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm fine. It's just um having a dream I got.
Speaker 1: I got lost in Freetown forest once. Am I supposed
Speaker 1: to know what that means? No, I just I forgot.
Speaker 1: But when I was a little boy, my dad and
Speaker 1: I went hiking in the woods, and I guess hiking
Speaker 1: is probably a strong word. We went, We went for walks,
Speaker 1: We went for walks all the time. He just loved
Speaker 1: that forest. And there was this one time when I
Speaker 1: guess I saw something and wandered off, and then when
Speaker 1: I turned around, I had lost him. Except that was
Speaker 1: broad daylight. It wasn't night. Right, Well, that's good. Right,
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was easier to find you. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: that's not that's not what I'm talking about. It just
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I just woke up from a dream just
Speaker 1: now about that day, except it was pitch black and
Speaker 1: there was something, there was something behind me. Just feeling
Speaker 1: a little um, feeling unsettled. I guess it's all of
Speaker 1: the old memories being dredged up. Well, I can say
Speaker 1: this from personal experience that I doubt falling asleep on
Speaker 1: your desk helps much with feeling settled. Yeah, you are
Speaker 1: probably right. What are you? What are you doing here
Speaker 1: so early? Well? I am glad you asked, because I
Speaker 1: went down a bit of a rabbit hole last night.
Speaker 1: But it was so fun I can see that. Wow.
Speaker 1: Is this all about Anne Becker? Yep, the one and
Speaker 1: only Anne Becker. Oh hipp And why because I don't
Speaker 1: think she's crazy? Okay, okay, just hear me out. She
Speaker 1: has closed more disappearance cases, hikers, kids, even a missing
Speaker 1: dog once than anyone else in this entire county. I
Speaker 1: found local news clippings, public records, some news segments from
Speaker 1: the early nineties. I mean, this lady, she is a
Speaker 1: hero to a lot of people, and then the freaking
Speaker 1: force they just edged her out. I just think when
Speaker 1: you meet her, you should go in with an open mind. Oh,
Speaker 1: vipp and I already met her. What Yeah, I want
Speaker 1: to see her us night. I don't I don't know
Speaker 1: what to tell you. She thinks my dad encountered some
Speaker 1: kind of a monster wormhole or something. I mean, it's nuts,
Speaker 1: it's something of something down by the lake, that's what
Speaker 1: she says, right, Okay, yeah, But in her defense, water
Speaker 1: has been known to be a conduit for also, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, Fippen, it is not real. None of it
Speaker 1: is real. And you know that. No, I don't know that.
Speaker 1: I just I know that. You know, we should just
Speaker 1: have a healthy sense of skepticism, but that is what
Speaker 1: I have. You cannot be skeptical about skepticism. No, I
Speaker 1: know that. I just I just I know that we
Speaker 1: don't know everything, Professor. I am skeptical, skeptical of anyone
Speaker 1: who claims to understand everything about our world. But there
Speaker 1: is so much that's unexplainable. But it's not unexplainable. There
Speaker 1: is a rational explanation for everything. We just have to
Speaker 1: find it. Is there because look right here, in a
Speaker 1: year after your father went missing. There, thank you. I
Speaker 1: can do the math. A motorist ran over an eighteen
Speaker 1: foot Boa constrictor. Becker herself is quoted in this article
Speaker 1: saying nothing surprises them anymore. It wasn't the first or
Speaker 1: the last time that they found an enormous snake in
Speaker 1: this area with no explanation of its origins. I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, people have weird hobbies. Maybe someone was breeding
Speaker 1: them and setting them free. Maybe maybe an escape from
Speaker 1: a kid's terrarium. Okay, okay, maybe, but I kept digging,
Speaker 1: and sightings of giant sneakes go back all the way
Speaker 1: to the twenties. There are some things that you can't explain, professor, No,
Speaker 1: there are things that I can't explain. Yet. That doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that my dad encountered something supernatural. Okay, he was
Speaker 1: investigating a cult. End of story with Ann Becker. She
Speaker 1: was the other police officer on the case, and she
Speaker 1: doesn't believe the cult theories. I know. Okay, Why why
Speaker 1: are you bothering with all this? Because I knew you wouldn't.
Speaker 1: In my four years of knowing you, I've heard you
Speaker 1: talk about your dad half a dozen times. Maybe you've
Speaker 1: buried what happened. But at the same time, you decided
Speaker 1: to dedicate your life to studying the supernatural. I don't
Speaker 1: study the supernatural, tip and I study reports of the supernatural.
Speaker 1: I study stories about the supernatural. It's a very different thing.
Speaker 1: And then you decided to spend the next few years
Speaker 1: writing a book on the area that took your dad
Speaker 1: away from you. Oh my god, right now, I am
Speaker 1: so regretting recommending that graduate psychology class to you, professor,
Speaker 1: I'm serious, serious about what. So There've been a couple
Speaker 1: of giant snakes, and Becker has found a lot of
Speaker 1: missing people. So what what does that mean? Do you
Speaker 1: think it's weird that your dad's badge was found in
Speaker 1: Freetown Forest when he went missing in Hackamox Swamp. What
Speaker 1: this article right here? Uh? December twelve police officer Thomas
Speaker 1: Bradshaw was last seen in Hawka Mock Swamp. Wait did
Speaker 1: you not know that? Ah? No, oh no, my mom
Speaker 1: always told me that he went missing in Freetown Forest.
Speaker 1: You know it's um, it's possible the paper got it wrong.
Speaker 1: It's only one article and fake news and all, Oh god,
Speaker 1: damn it. What I think I need to go back
Speaker 1: and talk to Anne Becker m Bradshaw, and he came back.
Speaker 1: Can I come in? Where did my dad go missing? November?
Speaker 1: Possibly late on the sixteenth. That's impossible to know for certain. No,
Speaker 1: not when? Where? Oh that's one of the many things
Speaker 1: we don't know. What the hell are you talking about?
Speaker 1: How can you not know where he went missing? Isn't
Speaker 1: that sort of the whole point of missing? You don't
Speaker 1: know where a pison is? Please don't be clever with me.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? The two of you were
Speaker 1: investigating some cult, the children of Yes, the children of what,
Speaker 1: like the Salem witch trials? Like like that tchaba, a
Speaker 1: bunch of white hippies, misinterpreting history and playing with things
Speaker 1: they couldn't possibly understand. What do you mean by that?
Speaker 1: Do you want some coffee? Uh? Sure? And are you
Speaker 1: supposed to have these what's that? These old files? Is
Speaker 1: all police property, isn't it? M hmm? It's my property.
Speaker 1: The police closed the case and Thomas and I were
Speaker 1: the only ones working on it. I wrote all these
Speaker 1: files myself. I'm not sure that's how it works. Oh
Speaker 1: so you're an expert on police protocol, Now, how can
Speaker 1: you not know where my dad went missing? Sit down?
Speaker 1: What do you know about your dad's case? I know
Speaker 1: that he was investigating a satanic cult, the children of Tituba,
Speaker 1: I guess, and he went into Freetown Forest to catch
Speaker 1: them red handed in a ritualal and has never heard
Speaker 1: from again. Well that's one theory. That's the theory. We
Speaker 1: were investigating a cult. There have been reports of animal
Speaker 1: sacrifice and strange symbols and the woods pretty standard stuff
Speaker 1: for this part of the country. But then a kid
Speaker 1: went missing. A twelve year old was camping with her
Speaker 1: girl Scout troop in the forest and when they woke up,
Speaker 1: she was gone. We searched the woods for hours and
Speaker 1: hours deep into the night. I mean, have you ever
Speaker 1: been in Freetown Forest at night? No? No, I haven't.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't recommend it. People don't think of it as wilderness,
Speaker 1: but it is. It doesn't matter how many towns surround it,
Speaker 1: how much civilization has started to encroach on the forest.
Speaker 1: It's still untamed. There are some sections where the growth
Speaker 1: is so thick that you need a machete to cut
Speaker 1: through it, and that is what we did that day
Speaker 1: and night. We were searching for the little girl. We
Speaker 1: tore the forest apart, and nothing, not so much as
Speaker 1: a child's footprint. Did you ever find her body? She
Speaker 1: found us. She walked out of the forest the next
Speaker 1: morning like nothing had happened. I didn't remember a damn thing.
Speaker 1: Her family moved away a little while after that. I
Speaker 1: guess the girl had nightmares of the forest. I thought
Speaker 1: some distance might help, did it? No idea moving someone
Speaker 1: from missing the found is usually the extent of my
Speaker 1: relationship with them. So you thought that the children took
Speaker 1: the girl. We did something to her. That's what the
Speaker 1: masses wanted to believe. Yeah, children of Chichibo weren't known
Speaker 1: to most people. Your father and I discovered them just
Speaker 1: before he went missing. But there was a religious group
Speaker 1: the gathering, still a bunch of white hippies, but less severe,
Speaker 1: mostly robes and chance circles and since crystals, that sort
Speaker 1: of thing seem harmless. But they weren't good Christians, so
Speaker 1: not beloved in the community. That is putting it mildly.
Speaker 1: For two or three years they were active in this area.
Speaker 1: Everything got blamed on them, disappearances, theft, even a murderer.
Speaker 1: Two giant snakes, mhm, my t A dug up some
Speaker 1: old articles. Yeah, the papers love those, even if basilisks
Speaker 1: weren't the weirdest thing spotted in those years. Boa constrictors,
Speaker 1: excuse me, not basilisks, boa constrictors, basilisks of beasts of
Speaker 1: myth that these were so you think they're not even snakes,
Speaker 1: They're they're a lizard rooster hybrid. And so what happened
Speaker 1: with the gathering? Nothing? They eventually packed up and left,
Speaker 1: and you never charged them with anything, mom. They never
Speaker 1: committed any crimes as far as we could tell you.
Speaker 1: Open flames in the woods, maybe some littering, but nothing
Speaker 1: worse than that. This doesn't look like nothing. This is
Speaker 1: all the information Thomas and I collected about the area
Speaker 1: after you came by last night. I pulled it all out,
Speaker 1: and it's all the strange sightings, missing persons, unexplained phenomenon.
Speaker 1: The gathering knew more about this stuff than most, and
Speaker 1: they led us to the children of Tichibo, who, to
Speaker 1: the mob's credit, more Satanists, though not very effective ones.
Speaker 1: What is an effective Satanist? Well, one who fails to
Speaker 1: summon a demon and opens the gates to the underworld. Right,
Speaker 1: look do you mind if I take some of these
Speaker 1: homes I've never actually i'd like to look them over.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, be my guest. I have copies plus all
Speaker 1: the tapes. Tapes. Yeah, Thomas took notes that way sometimes. Huh.
Speaker 1: I think I think I remember that him sitting at
Speaker 1: that kitchen table at night speaking into a tape. Require
Speaker 1: huh do you can? I can I take those two
Speaker 1: I need I kind of need them. But I can
Speaker 1: make you copies. Thank you. M hm. But you know
Speaker 1: that stack of philes there, those those were all written
Speaker 1: by Thomas. He would copy over all of his audio
Speaker 1: onto the official reports. We still handwrote most things back then.
Speaker 1: You know, you're welcome to him. I got plenty of photocopies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I see that. I write my capital bees in the
Speaker 1: same way. I didn't even realize I was copying him. Well,
Speaker 1: you know what that is a plenty of sitting around
Speaker 1: for one morning. Come on, what what what? We're going
Speaker 1: into the forest. We're going to find out who are what?
Speaker 1: Dug up Thomas's batch? Have you spent much time in
Speaker 1: these woods? Some? Yeah? Actually a fair deal. My dad,
Speaker 1: My dad and I would take hikes every Saturday. A
Speaker 1: man as an adult. I remember the hikes you and
Speaker 1: your dad took. You guys were close. Huh, we got along,
Speaker 1: you know. We both thought that there was more to
Speaker 1: this forest, more to this whole area than most people
Speaker 1: wanted to believe. No, my dad didn't believe in all
Speaker 1: that nonsense. Trust me, you were a child. You think
Speaker 1: he was going to tell you about the monsters in
Speaker 1: the woods. Why are you doing this, Jeremy, Why why
Speaker 1: did you come back to see me? My t a
Speaker 1: um his name is Vipen. Those articles he dug up.
Speaker 1: One mentioned that my dad went missing in Hackamuck Swamp,
Speaker 1: and I had always been told the Freetown forest was
Speaker 1: the last place that he'd been seeing, And I, I
Speaker 1: guess I just want to know the truth. The truth is,
Speaker 1: we don't know. Hawkamock and Freetown were the two hotspots
Speaker 1: at the time, and they still are. But you know,
Speaker 1: we didn't have jurisdiction in Hackamon didn't stop us from looking, though,
Speaker 1: and we scoured both areas and found nothing without concrete evidence.
Speaker 1: The room of mill spun whatever was most interesting at
Speaker 1: the moment. I just I wouldn't believe a thing that
Speaker 1: you read in those old papers. I see Why didn't
Speaker 1: you wonder about all of this until now? What's the
Speaker 1: use of wondering. My dad's gone and he's never coming back.
Speaker 1: Nothing's going to change that, Especially crazy theories about monsters
Speaker 1: and hotter woods. Such a strange first spective for a
Speaker 1: folklore professor. No, on the contrary, I think it's the
Speaker 1: only perspective for someone like me. If I actually believed
Speaker 1: in this stuff, I would not be able to look
Speaker 1: at it academically. Academics, Yeah, because I'd save so many lives.
Speaker 1: All right, look at that academically. Okay, Um, well they
Speaker 1: were carved recently. They look fresh. Um, do you recognize them?
Speaker 1: I have to say stone carvings are pretty standard in
Speaker 1: my line of work and in this area in particular.
Speaker 1: But no, not immediately. I'll have hip and start to
Speaker 1: look them up. Man, would've been really nice to have
Speaker 1: that in my day. I'm pretty sure they had cameras
Speaker 1: in the nineteen seventies. Al Right, smartass we did, but
Speaker 1: we couldn't instantly send them to an assistant, you know,
Speaker 1: had to print them, do our own research. I do
Speaker 1: my own research. If my book it has a whole
Speaker 1: chapter on rock carvings, Dighton Rock being a feature, of course,
Speaker 1: But these are quite distinct from the usual North American petroglyphs.
Speaker 1: I can tell you that much. Yeah, they look brand new.
Speaker 1: I think they must be. I would guess that it's
Speaker 1: just teams having a laugh. But there is a pattern here,
Speaker 1: and this looks similar to the Wapaog symbol for water.
Speaker 1: But what do you think about twenty ft from where
Speaker 1: that badge was found? How would you know exactly where
Speaker 1: it was found. The way that that rock is pointed,
Speaker 1: You know, it might act like is kind of a sundial.
Speaker 1: I bet you that it cast a shadow right here
Speaker 1: at a certain hour. Okay, that seems like unnecessary speculation. Okay,
Speaker 1: well you'll learn nothing counts of speculating out here. I
Speaker 1: doubt the carvings have anything to do with the badge.
Speaker 1: There's petroglyphs all over this forest and there's nothing else here. Look,
Speaker 1: I mean, if this were really where the badge was found,
Speaker 1: it could have easily washed up. It's actually much closer
Speaker 1: to the shore than I expected, right, because lake water
Speaker 1: really polishes metal and leather over forty years. Okay, do
Speaker 1: you see anything that suggests foul play? Not yet, But
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean there isn't we need to talk to
Speaker 1: those hikers. Hey, look, I know you know all these folks,
Speaker 1: but just let me do the talking. Mm hmm. You're
Speaker 1: worried they won't believe the crazy lady. We actually don't
Speaker 1: need them to believe anything. We just we just need
Speaker 1: some names. When we brought in that badge the other day,
Speaker 1: you spent two hours questioning us, and now you can't
Speaker 1: even listen to me. Well, it isn't down, lucky. It
Speaker 1: hasn't been twenty four hours. I know, but I'm worried
Speaker 1: about him. You said he just moved here, right, He's
Speaker 1: probably just out exploring the area and what he left
Speaker 1: his phone behind. He hasn't responded to a single text
Speaker 1: or call in fourteen hours. I'm his only friend in
Speaker 1: this entire state, and I know I'm sorry. Miss. There's
Speaker 1: nothing we can do until twenty four hours have passed.
Speaker 1: He's an adult. It isn't a crime for him to
Speaker 1: go off the grid for half a day. He's been
Speaker 1: having nightmares since the other day when we found that
Speaker 1: bad What kind of nightmares? Ms? Becca? This is a
Speaker 1: police matter, honey. I was a police officer so longer
Speaker 1: than you've been alive. My friend is missing. He's not missing.
Speaker 1: He's been gone for a few hours. Look, I know
Speaker 1: that there's a window. I know there's no window. What
Speaker 1: he's telling you have to wait twenty four hours? Yes,
Speaker 1: Officer McDermott, correct me if I'm wrong. But Section one,
Speaker 1: Chapter thirty eight A of Massachusetts law states that acceptance
Speaker 1: of a missing person's report cannot be refused on any grounds,
Speaker 1: including the length of time an individual has been missing.
Speaker 1: Isn't that right? Yes, ma'am. So why don't you go
Speaker 1: back to your desk and get a report started while
Speaker 1: I talked to this young woman. I'll send her right
Speaker 1: over once I'm done, Miss Becca, I really can't let
Speaker 1: you interview with police business. Well, she's not a suspect,
Speaker 1: is she were just two civilians having a chat. Or
Speaker 1: I could go tell Captain Haddock that you were trying
Speaker 1: to get out of doing a little bit of paperwork.
Speaker 1: I'll need your friends information to file a report, and
Speaker 1: I'll only keep her for a second. Sure, Wow, thank you?
Speaker 1: That was Yeah, that was impressive. Although so much for
Speaker 1: letting me do all the talking. And how's your state
Speaker 1: law knowledge? Okay? Fair enough? Um, if you don't need
Speaker 1: to talk to me. I should probably. Oh, actually, we
Speaker 1: we did come here looking for you, you and your
Speaker 1: friend Daniel, Right, Daniel. What's your name, Katie? I'm Jeremy.
Speaker 1: You found the police badge? Yeah, he was my father's. Oh, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Yeah, he's he's been gone a long time.
Speaker 1: What's happened with your friend? I don't know. I've hiked
Speaker 1: in Freetown Forest hundreds of times and everything seemed to fine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a bit weird to find an old police badge,
Speaker 1: but it's not like they ever cleaned up the place,
Speaker 1: so he didn't go missing when you were hiking. No,
Speaker 1: he seemed totally fine. But then he calls me late
Speaker 1: last night, at at like two am, and he's either
Speaker 1: drunk or sleep crazy or I don't know what, because
Speaker 1: he was ranting about how something followed him back from
Speaker 1: the woods. But I mean something followed him. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: been having nightmares all night, every night since the hike,
Speaker 1: and then last night he said he was dreaming about
Speaker 1: something following him, behind him, following in his footsteps. He
Speaker 1: said something about lights and quills. I don't know, it
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. When he woke up, he was convinced
Speaker 1: that something was outside his window, something with quills. That's
Speaker 1: what he said. He just moved here from New York,
Speaker 1: and I know that things are a big quieter than
Speaker 1: he's used to. But I was telling him about ghosts
Speaker 1: in the forest. I know I shouldn't have been. He's
Speaker 1: not like me. He doesn't believe in all this stuff,
Speaker 1: so I thought it would be fine. It's not your
Speaker 1: fault if a creature followed him out of the forest.
Speaker 1: There is no such thing as monsters. No, I know
Speaker 1: that I do. But there are spirits in that forest.
Speaker 1: I know there are, and I think I think maybe
Speaker 1: I made them angry. I really didn't mean to. Daniel
Speaker 1: doesn't believe, so there must have been something. Does Daniel
Speaker 1: have any history of mental illness? Um? No, no, not
Speaker 1: that I know of. Listen, I'm I'm really freaked out.
Speaker 1: So no offense. But I think I'm going to go
Speaker 1: talk to the actual cops about this. Of course, I
Speaker 1: hope you find your friend. Thanks Katie. Just one more thing.
Speaker 1: There was a rock near the lake. It had a
Speaker 1: bunch of simples carved into it. Jeremy, here, did you
Speaker 1: happen to notice these? I? No, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: There's lots of carvings in that part of the forest,
Speaker 1: the ledges covered in them. Right here. This is my number.
Speaker 1: If you think of anything, anything at all, you give
Speaker 1: me a call. I have a lot of experience with
Speaker 1: what can happen in the forest. You mean the spirits? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the police, they might not be able to help with
Speaker 1: whatever happened to your friend. Yeah. If it really is spirits,
Speaker 1: and I have someone who thank you. You should not
Speaker 1: have done that. What encouraging that girl's belief in ghosts
Speaker 1: in the woods, making her believe that her friend might
Speaker 1: be in danger? Friend might be in danger. He is
Speaker 1: a young man who just moved to a new place
Speaker 1: and got spooked by some wilderness, and police questioning the
Speaker 1: children of titch About didn't take him. Okay, okay, all right,
Speaker 1: it's not the Satanist that I'm worried about. Okay, it
Speaker 1: looks like I got to get back to my office.
Speaker 1: Fiffin was able to identify a couple of the symbols
Speaker 1: carved into the rock. Good good, that's good, and I'll
Speaker 1: come with you. Compared to our old notes. See if
Speaker 1: there's an overlap. I think it's happening again. Bradshaw, and
Speaker 1: it's not going to take more people this time. I
Speaker 1: won't let it. I don't mean to be rude, miss Becker,
Speaker 1: but I really don't think that we're on the same
Speaker 1: page here. It is clear that neither of those hikers
Speaker 1: know anything about how the badge got there. It really
Speaker 1: was just random coincidence, just like one of them being
Speaker 1: missing now is a coincidence. There's not some big conspiracy
Speaker 1: at work. Nothing is happening again because nothing happened the
Speaker 1: first time, just like your mother. Excuse me, why come
Speaker 1: with me to the forest, then? Why bother with any
Speaker 1: of this? I really need to go. No, Jeremy, you
Speaker 1: have to listen to me. Your father, he was worried
Speaker 1: that night, the last time that I saw him. He
Speaker 1: wasn't himself. I think I think he knew. I think
Speaker 1: he knew that something more was going on. Something had
Speaker 1: followed him too, And he's not the only one. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I don't think I can help you if you are
Speaker 1: not careful, If you don't listen to me, it will
Speaker 1: get you too. What will get me to huh? You
Speaker 1: don't even know what it is that you're afraid of
Speaker 1: and fear for. Fear sake is just not something that
Speaker 1: I'm interested in entertaining by ann whoa, it sounds intense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was the look in her eyes. It's so odd.
Speaker 1: It was like one moment she's taking down a negligent
Speaker 1: cop several notches, and then the next she's gone completely
Speaker 1: tinfoil hat kan the rice. I have to say your
Speaker 1: text was perfectly timed. I just wanted out. Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: helped a lot of friends on bad dates. Hey, I'm
Speaker 1: sorry I couldn't figure out more. I think you're right.
Speaker 1: I think the Wapanog symbol for waters in there, and
Speaker 1: then there's the Norse symbol for fire, but it seems
Speaker 1: to be an abstraction of the traditional norsem where that
Speaker 1: they're paired together. And there's a few in here that
Speaker 1: look Japanese. They're definitely not Japanese characters. But it's all
Speaker 1: too deliberate just to be random carving. So yeah, exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well thanks for trying all the same. I think we
Speaker 1: should do another survey of the petroglyphs in the area
Speaker 1: and just see if we can find any other fresh ones,
Speaker 1: and I don't know, maybe look through some old files. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess I'm not sure why it took them, honestly, sentimentality.
Speaker 1: Maybe I doubt there's going to be anything new here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe not. But retrow photos is that? Is that assen
Speaker 1: at ledge? Sure is? Oh my god, doesn't it look
Speaker 1: exactly the same. There's less graffiti. Yeah, you can see
Speaker 1: the carvings on the rock face pretty clearly. This is
Speaker 1: really great, um, professor. Yeah, look the pyramid rock by
Speaker 1: the lake, there's symbols on it. What oh huh. Maybe
Speaker 1: the old ones got weather away and somebody went back
Speaker 1: and recarved them all. But why and why now? I mean,
Speaker 1: and if your dad was investigating this area and there
Speaker 1: were these symbols then and now his badge shows up
Speaker 1: a careful bit and you were starting to sound an
Speaker 1: awful lot like Anne. I think that's enough for tonight.
Speaker 1: We should probably both get some sleep, Professor. If we
Speaker 1: get into this habit, we're both going to be dead
Speaker 1: before the book comes out. Yeah, unless a giant snake
Speaker 1: gets us first. Yeah, that could happen. You heading out, Um,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick around and get some thesis work done
Speaker 1: if you don't mind, No, of course not. My office
Speaker 1: is your office to night Biben Night, Professor. Professor Bradshaw.
