0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Consumed is a production of iHeart Podcasts and Grimm and

0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Mild from Aaron Maky. Headphones Recommended Listener discretion advised.

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:20.560
<v Speaker 2>It's happening. That's what the voice on the phone said.

0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Means someone already knew got to call a couple.

0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:26.040
<v Speaker 3>Of days ago. Wouldn't say who it was, though, that

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:28.480
<v Speaker 3>proves it aliens not.

0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Exactly the scientific method.

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:32.520
<v Speaker 3>Who also know about the thirty one years?

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 4>That's not what it said.

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:37.040
<v Speaker 3>But there's something unnatural going on here, and you know

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:39.040
<v Speaker 3>it it was you.

0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:42.839
<v Speaker 2>Wasn't it what you bastards called me? Didn't you know?

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 2>That's an outrageous accusation.

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.479
<v Speaker 4>No, the only thing at rageous is you expecting me

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:50.199
<v Speaker 4>to believe your bedtime stories.

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 3>And besides, we're here. You can get out now. I

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 3>swear it wasn't us.

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 2>We're not making this up. Call me again when you're

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 2>not too absorbed in your story to see the facts.

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:08.479
<v Speaker 2>But for no, get out. Yeah, yeah, we got it. Oh,

0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:10.679
<v Speaker 2>there's one step forward, two step back with that one.

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:13.279
<v Speaker 3>It's really so hard to believe that there's something bigger

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 3>at play here.

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't blame her. We did sound kind of kooky,

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:19.679
<v Speaker 2>and by we I mean.

0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 3>You come on. Please don't tell me I'm losing you

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 3>to the dark side.

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.320
<v Speaker 2>No, you are losing me to common sense. Is there

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 2>a pattern? Sure? But does correlation equal causation? You're damn

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:32.400
<v Speaker 2>sure it doesn't. I already got that test question wrong once.

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 3>What if I told you I knew something that was prove? Oh?

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:39.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Like what?

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Like?

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 3>How I sometimes hear things in that library when there's

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 3>no one else there, So the wind no, I mean whispers, right.

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 2>And sometimes I see dead.

0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 5>People And.

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 2>It's all right not to know the answers.

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 6>So we'll come to you when you least expected.

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 4>God, damn it, kid, where are you?

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 7>Nice to see you finally?

0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 3>Remember you have a job. Sorry, boss, I was.

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 7>Just doesn't matter.

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Grab those markers.

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 7>We're going to have to divvy up this map to

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.119
<v Speaker 7>set up search grids, and I need you to get

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 7>started on volunteers.

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 3>What's this about.

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 7>It's about the child we allow to go missing under

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 7>our watch or don't tell me you've already forgotten being fooled.

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 4>However it happened.

0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.119
<v Speaker 7>It happened, and that's not going to change. So now

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 7>it's our job to fix it.

0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 4>We need to get central in on this ivery.

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Could be hard even worse out there.

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 4>Something happened to that kid.

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 3>I know it, I can feel it, Sheriff.

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 6>I'm telling you what. Avery's fine. He's with his family.

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 6>Oh that's what I've been trying to say, Sheriff. Avery

0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 6>went right on home after his escape. The kid's fine department.

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:21.039
<v Speaker 8>Can I help you?

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:23.039
<v Speaker 4>He went straight home.

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:25.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, hit out by the shed for a bit. I

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.840
<v Speaker 6>guess he was embarrassed or something, but he came out

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 6>pretty quick.

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 7>And you're sure that's what happened.

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:33.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, just came.

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 4>From there, so he didn't go into the woods.

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 3>Why would you think that thought?

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 4>I saw traces there must have been in my head,

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:44.159
<v Speaker 4>I suppose. So why didn't you bring him back?

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.719
<v Speaker 6>Kid's been through a lot. Thought it better he'd be

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 6>with family for the time being.

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, doesn't seem like that was your choice to make.

0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.559
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, but with all the stuff that went down with Rama,

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 6>I felt like there wasn't enough to hold.

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:56.719
<v Speaker 2>Him that stuff right.

0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 4>Well, I'll be sure to straighten it all out when

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 4>I stopped by.

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 6>To check on every sounds good, boss. I'm sure they're

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 6>expecting you.

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 3>Hey, quick question, how much longer do we have to

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 3>do this? Please?

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.159
<v Speaker 2>Don't make me make the chicken sound. It's not my

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:18.839
<v Speaker 2>best impression.

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm not scared so much as wondering when something's going

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 3>to rush down this tunnel and a viceratus.

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:28.039
<v Speaker 2>No, biggie, there is something up with these tunnels, and

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm not stopping until I figure out what that is,

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 2>unless you want to fess up and admit it was

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 2>you who left Aaron's phone.

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:39.799
<v Speaker 3>There, tuche. Hey, I think we already took this turn.

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, did the whispers tell you that?

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 8>Really?

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:44.240
<v Speaker 3>That's how we're doing this?

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.799
<v Speaker 2>Doing what you said? You hear magical whispers? Then, okay,

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:49.359
<v Speaker 2>you hear magical whispers?

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 3>Pretty sure I didn't use the word magical. Now I'm

0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 3>starting to think it doesn't matter what word I use,

0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 3>because you wouldn't believed me. Anyways.

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Let me tell you what my options look like. Either one,

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 2>you do hear voices in your head, in which case

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 2>you need immediate psychiatric care, or two you're lying to

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 2>me again, which wouldn't be out of character, except this

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 2>time I must look gullible enough to buy this sixth sense.

0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 2>I hear dead people bullshit?

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 3>Hey, can you slow down?

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:20.280
<v Speaker 2>And there goes our light?

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.240
<v Speaker 3>There can you at least hear me out.

0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm not gagging you am I thanky?

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna put up in that I'm waiting. It sound

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.720
<v Speaker 3>like I've always heard them, So you.

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Were normal once. That's comforting.

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.839
<v Speaker 3>It started in January of this year. At first I

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 3>thought it was just a wind, you know, old buildings,

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:41.719
<v Speaker 3>creepy sounds. It's in the ballpark.

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 2>So what made you change your mind?

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.200
<v Speaker 3>When the wind stops sounding like the weather and more

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:51.919
<v Speaker 3>like someone was inside? Because then came the nightmares. I

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 3>spent hours on end in that library, wide awake in bed,

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.599
<v Speaker 3>unable and unwilling to go to sleep because I was

0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 3>so genuinely terrified of what I'd say. What was it

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.599
<v Speaker 3>on a good night? The worst memories of my life?

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:08.479
<v Speaker 3>But on a bad night, Oh, those were things even

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.080
<v Speaker 3>my imagination couldn't conjure.

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 2>You should take an edible before bed might take the

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:14.120
<v Speaker 2>edge off.

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 3>I know this all sounds crazy. I mean, hell, there's

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 3>a reason I didn't lead with HI. My name is Gordon.

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:19.679
<v Speaker 3>I'm haunted.

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't just sound crazy, it sounds impossible.

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 3>So what about all the bizarro murders going on in

0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 3>this town? Two weeks ago? I would have said that

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:32.120
<v Speaker 3>was impossible. Can't you just believe me, Gordon?

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 2>You were asking me to believe a lot.

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:38.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but it's me. Do you know when the first

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.120
<v Speaker 3>time I had an actual good night's sleep was in

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 3>a long time?

0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't.

0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 3>It was the day I met you, when I saw

0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:48.080
<v Speaker 3>you standing there under the nave, surrounded by all those books,

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 3>and it just felt right. That night I just slept.

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.240
<v Speaker 3>No monsters beneath the bed, no shadows in the closet,

0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 3>only rest.

0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 2>That's not the creepiest pickup line I've ever heard, But

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm a creepy doesn't cut it.

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.160
<v Speaker 3>You want the story, right? What if this is part

0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 3>of it? What do you mean there's something I need

0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 3>to show you?

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Wow? A book in a library? How mind blowing?

0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:17.840
<v Speaker 3>Not just any book, okay. This is a transcribed copy

0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 3>of the journals kept by the Jesuit priests who were

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:21.559
<v Speaker 3>originally settled in the area.

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 2>So an antique diary, bingo, but darker.

0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:29.000
<v Speaker 3>These aren't just records of prayers in daily life. These

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 3>texts go into detail about the conquering process. And yes,

0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.079
<v Speaker 3>I'm saying conquering in quotes.

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:36.000
<v Speaker 2>How bad was it?

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:36.480
<v Speaker 8>Well?

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.959
<v Speaker 3>According to this, not bad at all. The priests were

0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 3>Mother Teresa, while the native Algonquin tribe essentially played the

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:46.040
<v Speaker 3>role of lemmings in one widely misconceived mass cliff diving.

0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Video from the White Wilderness.

0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 3>Dark Yes, and a very fitting name for our current subject.

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.920
<v Speaker 3>These so called settlers pushed this tribe to the brink

0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:58.720
<v Speaker 3>of extension in ways that they cannot even be called human.

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.880
<v Speaker 3>See here, Well, that.

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:06.079
<v Speaker 2>Just says the food supplies were redistributed.

0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 3>Which is code for look right here.

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 2>What is this hunting log?

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 3>I wish no. This is a log of the refuse,

0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.680
<v Speaker 3>the hundreds, if not thousands of heads of cattle skin

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.320
<v Speaker 3>for their hides and left to boil in the sun.

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 3>It's every bit of food they made to rot and

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 3>fester for the sole purpose of starving out the native

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:30.280
<v Speaker 3>inhabitants of this land.

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Gordon, that's horrible, But I still don't understand what any

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:35.720
<v Speaker 2>of this has to do with you hearing voices.

0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.240
<v Speaker 3>This is just a tip of the Titanic singing iceberg

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 3>and all that ice that they couldn't see on the water,

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 3>aka the brunt of it. None of that is recorded,

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:47.040
<v Speaker 3>trust me, I've looked, But that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:48.200
<v Speaker 3>And how do I know that?

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:50.319
<v Speaker 2>The whispers?

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, let's just say that once I stopped trying to

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 3>shut them out and actually listen instead, those creepy ass

0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:01.320
<v Speaker 3>nightmares didn't seem all that bad by comparison. Dare I ask,

0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 3>what do you think happens when you corral human beings

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.320
<v Speaker 3>as if they're animals and then starve them to the brink,

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:12.800
<v Speaker 3>leaving them no other way to survive except for each other.

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Gosh Jesus, that's what you've been hearing.

0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.840
<v Speaker 3>Could be worse. I could hear traumatizing voices and be

0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:22.439
<v Speaker 3>lactose intolerant. But I'm not.

0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay say everything you're telling me is true.

0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.240
<v Speaker 3>Ooh, progress, I like it.

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Then what the hell are you still doing here?

0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 3>Well?

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:34.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't say it's complicated.

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Remember when you asked me why I wasn't at the

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.760
<v Speaker 3>Boston Public Library, or, better yet, the Benecke.

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh that bit of foreplay.

0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:44.640
<v Speaker 3>Anywhere else, I'm just another super sexy librarian, But here

0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 3>I get a chance to do this journal. Your feelings,

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 3>not mine, theirs, and not feelings. It's their history, their stories,

0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.440
<v Speaker 3>not everything's black and white and blood and gloom. They

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:06.240
<v Speaker 3>deserve to be remembered for more. Pardon this? Would you

0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.360
<v Speaker 3>figure it out of the thirty one year pattern? You

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 3>know what was the first thing I thought of?

0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:11.079
<v Speaker 2>What?

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 3>What if I'm not the first to hear these voices

0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:14.080
<v Speaker 3>in the library.

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Either you're talking predecessors.

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm talking employment records.

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Hit me with it. Who is here before you?

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:28.319
<v Speaker 3>Old man Cahill? But it says here he wasn't hired

0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:29.320
<v Speaker 3>until ninety three.

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.520
<v Speaker 2>That's too late. What about the one before him?

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:35.160
<v Speaker 3>Ninety one ninety one? Howard Gillies, He was on from

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:39.319
<v Speaker 3>sixty seven until uh February of ninety one, a twenty

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 3>four year veteran of the job. And he didn't even

0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.520
<v Speaker 3>pick up his last check, just left.

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because he probably high tailed it out of here

0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.679
<v Speaker 2>after he started hearing voices, which is what you should

0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:49.079
<v Speaker 2>have done.

0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh why would you punch my arm? Wait? Does this

0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.480
<v Speaker 3>mean you believe me? Because if so, the pain was

0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 3>worth it.

0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 2>I believe you're a martyr for putting yourself through this.

0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.440
<v Speaker 3>Gillies left, and I'm sure, however far back this goes,

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.840
<v Speaker 3>they all left too. So sure it's no benecky. But

0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.199
<v Speaker 3>if I don't fit the bill, then who will.

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:10.560
<v Speaker 2>You vexed me, Gordon, you vexed me.

0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 3>Besides, if I wasn't here, then you might have had

0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.200
<v Speaker 3>to do this whole two hander thing with old man Khill,

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.720
<v Speaker 3>and I doubt you'd have the same rapport and definitely

0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.200
<v Speaker 3>not the same sexual attention. I hope.

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh you don't know my tastes.

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 3>I know me.

0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 2>I did not wake up this morning prepared to deal

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.160
<v Speaker 2>with forces beyond my understanding.

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:30.760
<v Speaker 3>Please I call that breakfast.

0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.719
<v Speaker 2>You realize this doesn't just open the floodgates, this is

0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:34.600
<v Speaker 2>the whole deluge.

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.280
<v Speaker 3>Then I guess I'll grab the raincoats.

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you said this was an Algonquin tribe, right, Any

0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:47.320
<v Speaker 2>chance those whispers of yours ever mentioned an old legend

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 2>about the wind to Go?

0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.640
<v Speaker 3>You mean slender Man with andlers?

0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:53.679
<v Speaker 2>No, that would be the One to Go two thousand

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 2>and one movie. I'm talking about the cannibalistic and endlessly

0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:01.600
<v Speaker 2>famished monster found in folklore of the Algonquin speaking First Nations.

0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.000
<v Speaker 3>Are you telling me that's what's been running around out

0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 3>there ripping people apart?

0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:10.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying it fits the pattern and the history. Jesus,

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:11.120
<v Speaker 2>where the fuck?

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 3>Sorry? I got it? Anderson Memorial Library, How may I

0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:17.800
<v Speaker 3>help you?

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 2>How may I help you?

0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:21.960
<v Speaker 3>Okay? Thanks? Max?

0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:27.440
<v Speaker 2>What that was, Sheriff Allan? Yeah, no, I got that.

0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:29.600
<v Speaker 2>What I want to know is have you had a

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:31.880
<v Speaker 2>working phone here the entire time?

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 3>Calling it a working phone is an overreach. I have

0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.240
<v Speaker 3>as much control over that phone working as I do

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.040
<v Speaker 3>over my cholesterol when I eat at Shaw's.

0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:41.360
<v Speaker 2>That's concerning. But fine, What did she want?

0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 3>Said? Avery's fine? Supposedly unless she's gonna go check in

0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:47.240
<v Speaker 3>on him at home. But I don't know. Something felt off.

0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:49.760
<v Speaker 2>If you're done with that, then I really need to

0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:50.200
<v Speaker 2>make a call.

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:04.839
<v Speaker 8>Sheriff Allen. I thought we'd be seeing you Jack, Come in,

0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.920
<v Speaker 8>Come in. We're just having a little family dinner to

0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:09.840
<v Speaker 8>celebrate our son's homecoming.

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:16.000
<v Speaker 4>Heard about that that he'd been hiding out in the shed.

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:20.320
<v Speaker 8>Kids. You know how it is. I remember hiding in

0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 8>my father's attic for hours after I broke his window

0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 8>playing ball. Please take a seat.

0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm fine, thank you. I don't see Avery.

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.960
<v Speaker 8>He's upstairs getting ready. Rema should be bringing him down.

0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.080
<v Speaker 8>You're welcome to join us for our meal if you'd like.

0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:38.880
<v Speaker 2>I already eat.

0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:42.240
<v Speaker 7>Oh, but I promise my pow roast will make you

0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.760
<v Speaker 7>forget about any meal you've had before.

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:50.200
<v Speaker 4>Rema, Sheriff Avery close behind almost though.

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 2>I can pour you some lemonade while we wait. Sure

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.520
<v Speaker 2>would love to hear how the investigation is going. Soothe

0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:58.200
<v Speaker 2>a lot of nerves around town.

0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:02.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm only here check on Avery the table set?

0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Does he always take this long?

0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.920
<v Speaker 8>He might be resting. It's been a tough couple of days.

0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:11.480
<v Speaker 4>You mind if I go check?

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:13.640
<v Speaker 8>Rather? You didn't? And why is that?

0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:17.040
<v Speaker 3>Here's the food? Ready? Avery?

0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:18.600
<v Speaker 9>Sir?

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.880
<v Speaker 3>If Alan's here to see you, what do you say?

0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:22.560
<v Speaker 8>Hey?

0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:27.720
<v Speaker 4>Hey, Avery, how are you feeling fine? Your prison breaks?

0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:28.080
<v Speaker 4>Sit you?

0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:35.440
<v Speaker 3>Well? It's a joke. Oh right, Can I have a moment?

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 4>I was hoping to ask you a few questions? Is

0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.480
<v Speaker 4>that necessary right now?

0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.040
<v Speaker 8>Like I said, the kids had a rough day.

0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:47.760
<v Speaker 4>It won't take long, Avery, Dad, would you like to

0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 4>speak in private?

0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:49.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't.

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:51.360
<v Speaker 4>I promise you can talk to me.

0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:58.800
<v Speaker 8>And he will, but not tonight. Avery, go sit down, yes, sir? Now,

0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 8>if that's everything, like to enjoy one final meal in

0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:05.920
<v Speaker 8>peace with my son, Rema, show the sheriff out.

0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 4>What does final mean?

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:11.480
<v Speaker 3>Rema?

0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:15.880
<v Speaker 2>Please, Sheriff just go. He'll tell you whatever you need

0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:26.840
<v Speaker 2>to hear tomorrow. Okay, tomorrow, I promise, come on, come on.

0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:33.520
<v Speaker 3>Again. I told you that phone has a will of

0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:34.000
<v Speaker 3>its own.

0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Try pulling that cable a little higher and remember, lift

0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:38.160
<v Speaker 2>with your legs.

0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:42.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm the issue here, right. How important is this call?

0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, it might just save her lives, so pray for signal.

0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, oh it's your daddy.

0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.480
<v Speaker 3>Now, okay, please don't sexualize my telephone.

0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:52.760
<v Speaker 2>I think he's going through.

0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.760
<v Speaker 3>Hello, Professor Bradshaw, Yeah, the one and the same.

0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 9>Listen. I'm sorry, but I told Vippin to put an

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.720
<v Speaker 9>the syllabus that I can't take calls after hours. I

0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:03.640
<v Speaker 9>have office hours.

0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:08.920
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, this is Sarah, Sarah Simmons. We spoke about

0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 2>a month ago regarding my story on the Succubus of

0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Streatham Hill.

0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:17.639
<v Speaker 9>Oh oh, how, but I'm so sorry. I thought you

0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:19.760
<v Speaker 9>were one of my students, right, you had the tale

0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:23.200
<v Speaker 9>of the local demonic paramour. I was thinking after we

0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:26.919
<v Speaker 9>met that that is aptly the Latin linguistic rig.

0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, it's going great, very feisty, but that's actually

0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:35.439
<v Speaker 2>not why I'm calling. Oh, Professor Bradshaw, what can you

0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:37.360
<v Speaker 2>tell me about windigoes?

0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:39.800
<v Speaker 8>Wow?

0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:41.600
<v Speaker 9>You're changing your subject matter.

0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:41.800
<v Speaker 8>Huh.

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:42.640
<v Speaker 2>One could say that.

0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.840
<v Speaker 9>Well, I guess considering the area you're in, it doesn't

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:49.439
<v Speaker 9>really surprise me. How So, when you study folklore for

0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:51.040
<v Speaker 9>as long as I have, you start to pick up

0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.679
<v Speaker 9>on these lower specific hotspots. So if someone goes missing,

0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:58.640
<v Speaker 9>there it's a whin to go, but forty miles east

0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:02.119
<v Speaker 9>it's a witch, and forty miles self it's a I

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:04.479
<v Speaker 9>don't know something else. It's so on and so on.

0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.800
<v Speaker 2>You know, So there have been sightings, Well, it's the

0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:08.760
<v Speaker 2>northern wilderness.

0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:10.800
<v Speaker 9>I could hop on social media and find you a

0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:11.960
<v Speaker 9>siting of pretty much anything.

0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:13.040
<v Speaker 3>But with When to.

0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:15.520
<v Speaker 9>Goes, it's not as simple as just you know, seeing

0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:17.840
<v Speaker 9>a shadow in the woods. And why is that Well,

0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:21.879
<v Speaker 9>because it could be a shadow with the ravenous monster

0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.840
<v Speaker 9>just out of sight, or it could be your neighbor

0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:29.360
<v Speaker 9>who's developed an insatiable craving for human flesh. Because when

0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:34.000
<v Speaker 9>to Goes appear either in physical form or as a

0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:37.960
<v Speaker 9>malevolent spirit capable of possessing men. It depends on which

0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:39.520
<v Speaker 9>branch of lore you find the most appealing.

0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:41.639
<v Speaker 2>So how would you know which one you're dealing with?

0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:42.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, if not.

0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:47.720
<v Speaker 9>By sight, then I suppose by cause the spirit form

0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:53.240
<v Speaker 9>is attracted to those overcome by selfishness and greed, hence

0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:59.800
<v Speaker 9>the result of man consuming man, or rather the unwilling

0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:03.119
<v Speaker 9>sacrifice of one for the survival.

0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Of the other. And say someone suspected there was a

0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:12.359
<v Speaker 2>when to go? How would said someone go about killing it?

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:12.920
<v Speaker 3>Exactly?

0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:16.040
<v Speaker 5>And the more detailed of better, Sarah, is this still

0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:16.719
<v Speaker 5>for your story?

0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:20.480
<v Speaker 2>No, of course, But as a student of folklore, you,

0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.399
<v Speaker 2>of all people, must understand the importance of presenting hope

0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:24.880
<v Speaker 2>alongside the horror.

0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:26.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if you frame it that way.

0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:28.560
<v Speaker 2>So the juicy bits you were saying.

0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:32.600
<v Speaker 9>That's the simple part. You either burn the creature to

0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:35.840
<v Speaker 9>its core or dismember.

0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:37.080
<v Speaker 3>It with silver. Oh? Is that all?

0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:40.680
<v Speaker 9>That's what they say? Legends do mix and mingle over time,

0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:43.719
<v Speaker 9>and some accounts claim that the creature is only vulnerable

0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:48.960
<v Speaker 9>after a meal, but others warn against believing that. But

0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:54.440
<v Speaker 9>there is one thing that is consistent across the lore.

0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Please do tell I'll take anything.

0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:56.840
<v Speaker 3>At this point.

0:19:57.400 --> 0:19:59.560
<v Speaker 9>The when to go strikes the hardest.

0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:04.760
<v Speaker 2>Come the season of starvation, and when exactly is that?

0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:06.360
<v Speaker 2>A date would be helpful?

0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:12.240
<v Speaker 9>Well? When do animals migrate when the fields dry up?

0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:16.280
<v Speaker 2>Are you telling me that winter is coming?

0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Now?

0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:22.040
<v Speaker 9>I promise you. Winter was feared in New England long

0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:25.200
<v Speaker 9>before there was any talk of night walkers going around,

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.240
<v Speaker 9>and with the dread of their own food supplies, dwindling

0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:30.440
<v Speaker 9>came the even.

0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:33.080
<v Speaker 2>Scarier Hello, Hey, can you hear me? Professor?

0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:37.719
<v Speaker 9>When grow stronger? When it snows?

0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:38.399
<v Speaker 8>Shit?

0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:41.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, what do you say?

0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Do you want the good news or the eyelide? There

0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:44.040
<v Speaker 2>is no good news?

0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:45.080
<v Speaker 8>Uh?

0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:57.120
<v Speaker 3>The first? Okay, fire and silver. That's a pretty run

0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:58.080
<v Speaker 3>of the mill monstercule.

0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah for Buffy, maybe never a struggling journalist in a

0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:01.359
<v Speaker 2>winded librarian.

0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:04.040
<v Speaker 3>Hey, I'm not that one, Gordon.

0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:05.800
<v Speaker 2>We are barely halfway to the police station.

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:08.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you might need to carry me.

0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:12.639
<v Speaker 2>Hey didn't you say Shaws was closed tonight?

0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:13.840
<v Speaker 3>It's supposed to be.

0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Then, why are all the lights still on?

0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:19.520
<v Speaker 3>Oh? Duck?

0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Did they see us?

0:21:21.920 --> 0:21:22.919
<v Speaker 3>I can barely see us.

0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Seal Team six training, go? What we're crawling?

0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:28.919
<v Speaker 5>Is this?

0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:30.040
<v Speaker 3>Is this really necessary?

0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:32.320
<v Speaker 2>About to find out? Can you see inside?

0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:35.399
<v Speaker 3>I could if you would just screech over? Oh my god.

0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I've never seen a sacrificial altar before, but I'm

0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:41.520
<v Speaker 2>one hundred percent sure that is one.

0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 3>So many things make sense. Now, Holy shit, here's that jack,

0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:48.200
<v Speaker 3>the one's sharpening that knife. Yeah, that's him.

0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:53.160
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna kill someone, They're gonna feed the creature. What

0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:55.960
<v Speaker 2>the hell is with that chanting? Got a chorus in

0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:56.560
<v Speaker 2>there or what?

0:21:57.520 --> 0:22:00.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't think that's coming from in there? And it

0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:00.879
<v Speaker 3>gets worse?

0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:03.520
<v Speaker 2>How could it possibly be any worse?

0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:06.440
<v Speaker 3>WOSI Professor Bradshaw said about the snow.

0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Something about the whend to go striking hardest from snows.
