Speaker 1: Ed Hedges, a slender, floppy haired up and comer stands

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: on the stage. He was captivating and quirky and had

8
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: the audience eating out of his hand. And then the

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: whole night took a turn.

10
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:49,760

11
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 2: up to that noise coming from my front door. That

12
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: was the loudest thing I've ever heard in my life.

13
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: And at the end of my bed, staring out of

14
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: my window, there is someone standing. She is terrified, and

15
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: she says, whatever you do, do not turn on the lights.

16
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: Questioned the death of a woman and a man.

00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: The lifeless body slumped on the sofa and covered in

00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,440

25
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: I was shocked, and so was the audience. This can't

26
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: be true, but I had to find out more. The

27
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: mystery would take me to a small village outside of

28
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,040
