1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Bridgewater is a production of I Heart Radio three D

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: audio and Grim and Mild from Aaron Mackey. For a

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: full exposure, listen with headphones. Listener discretion advised. So as

4
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: we know, the myth of Sasquatch is one that can

5
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: be found in many regions, such as um Well, the

6
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: legend is primarily North American, with the majority of sightings

7
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: occurring in the Pacific Northwest and Canada, but there have

8
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 1: of course been um reports of sightings in our very

9
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: own Bridgewater Triangle. Most of the descriptions of Sasquatch, or

10
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: Bigfoot as he's sometimes known, describe this unnaturally tall ape

11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: like creature that's covered in hair and his red eyes.

12
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: Um not red eyes, Nope. UM. Well, I guess I

13
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: don't have to tell you what Bigfoot looks like, because

14
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: we all know what Bigfoot looks like. Um. As for

15
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: um sightings in this region we have, Does anyone know

16
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: of any sightings in the in this region? Anyone? Yeah? Amy? Um, professor,

17
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: did you hear about that missing boy over the weekend? Uh? Yeah,

18
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: I did? The missing boy? Yeah yeah, we were all

19
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: talking about it before class. Apparently some kid went missing

20
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: and they think it has to do with cold activity.

21
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: Oh god, no, okay, what if it was another alien

22
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: abduction like that hiker that went missing last week? Guys,

23
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: that hiker. That hiker was found and so was the boy,

24
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: but neither of them remember anything, right, How do you

25
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: all know about this? It's a small town, sure is.

26
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: So do you know anything about the boy? I know

27
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: that he's fine, But that's like the fourth person to

28
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: go missing and free town for us this year. Yeah,

29
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: while people get lost in the woods. So yeah, I mean,

30
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: are we safe here? Come on, guys, you don't actually

31
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: believe any of this stuff. You have to admit that

32
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: there's some genuine questions to ask. Yeah, but this is

33
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: what we've been talking about in class all semester. It's

34
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: all just lower and rumor exactly. Let's get this back

35
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: on task everyone. Come on, why don't multiple people report

36
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: the same thing because internal life? Well, that was a

37
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: dis esther. No, it wasn't that bad. Oh, it absolutely was.

38
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: Thank you for covering for me, by the way. Oh,

39
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: I didn't have to do a lot. They seem to

40
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: have plenty to talk about. Oh god, hey, are you okay, professor? No, No,

41
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 1: I'm absolutely not. Okay. What about you? How you doing.

42
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: How's your head? And okay, um, I was gonna tell

43
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: you Olivia brought me some soup yesterday homemade. Wow, that's

44
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: so sweet. Yeah, yeah, it was really sweet. I mean

45
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: having her be nice to me because I got attacked

46
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: by an owl is how do I put it? Deeply humiliating,

47
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: but hey, I'll take it, especially with everything that happened

48
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: with her brother this weekend. Kind of amazed she even

49
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: thought of me, you know, oh, speaking of how so

50
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: wait are you too? Oh? I don't know. I hope,

51
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't know. Um, it's been a

52
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: weird couple of weeks, you know, uh, not counting on anything, right,

53
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: But she's actually really really sweet and as smart and

54
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: sharp and witty as as I thought. And yeah, you

55
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: know she's a she's a queen. Yeah yeah, she's a

56
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: Oh god what hip and she's my niece. Jeremy what

57
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: what what do you? What are you? What are you

58
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: talking about? Yeah? Katie? Hi, Mr Bradshaw, Professor, call me Jeremy, Jeremy, Ah,

59
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: this is my my teaching assistant, whipping Corona. Hi, Kitty

60
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: Frank's um professor. Can we discuss what we were just

61
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: talking about? Katie, you want to come in and have

62
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: a seat. I'm sorry to just drop in like this.

63
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: That's okay, you don't okay after last night? God was

64
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: not just last night. No, actually it was the night

65
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: before last, right, Christ It feels like it's been a

66
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: week and you got attacked this weekend, didn't you. How

67
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: do you know about that? It's a small town and

68
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: we're travel's double speed when it's something to do with

69
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: the triangle. Great, I'm so glad everyone knows an owl

70
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: beat me up. That's really the cherry on top of

71
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: the concussion. It wasn't an owl. What There are things

72
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: in that swamp, all sorts of things. Oh Jesus, I'm sorry, Katie,

73
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: but we're really not interested in hearing any more of

74
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: these crazy theories. Can you? Can you just tell me? What? What?

75
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: What do you need? What are you doing here? I

76
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: got spooked the other night. Yeah, so let's tell me.

77
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: She was very gracious about it, far more than she

78
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: had to be, especially considering, yeah, considering what I've been

79
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: pushing her to include me in all the gatherings activities

80
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: you mean, the secret midnight meetings. Yes, that's why Daniel

81
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: and I went on that hike in the first place.

82
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: I go on that hike every single Sunday afternoon to

83
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: look at that pyramid rock and tried to decipher the symbols.

84
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: Because celest won't tell you what exactly did they do

85
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: with these midnight meetings. They commune right, my spirits exactly,

86
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: And you want to participate in this. I want. I

87
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: just want to give my mother peace. She died painfully.

88
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: It was long and horrible, and she's still here. I

89
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: know she is restless and angry, and I don't I

90
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: don't want that for her. She never would have wanted

91
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: to be a dark cloud over the world. She would

92
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: have wanted to move on. I want to help her

93
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: move on. And Celeste told you that she can do that. No,

94
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: of course not. It's it doesn't work like that. I

95
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: know what you're thinking. Maria thinks the same thing, even

96
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: if you won't say it outright. You think that Celeste

97
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: is a Charlatan praying on the vulnerable. Yeah, that's exactly

98
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: what I think. That's just the case with most psychics

99
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: and mediums, that they cold read someone just enough to

100
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: convince them of their abilities, make themselves so necessary that

101
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: someone will pay over and over again. It's simple psychology. Really,

102
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: it's toxic and effective. Celeste isn't a psychic. She's not

103
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: a witch or or anything else you're thinking of. She's

104
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: just a woman who understands this place. No offense, Katie,

105
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: But I understand this place. It actually might be the

106
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: only thing I do understand. I have spent my entire

107
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: life here, in the better part of a decade, studying it,

108
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: and I can tell you it is a It is

109
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: a unique place. To be sure, it's got an dreamly

110
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: high concentration of sightings and claims of encounters, but that

111
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: has to do with the history of the region and

112
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: with self perpetuating myth. There is nothing that's actually paranormal

113
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: going on here. Okay have you ever thought about leaving?

114
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: You've been here your whole life, haven't you. I am

115
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: a folklore professor. There is literally no better place to be. Mhm, Celeste,

116
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: what have something different to say about why you're still here? Uh? Katie?

117
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: Why did you get spooked? What happened? The forest is

118
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: coming alive. The spirits are restless and dangerous. I think

119
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: that's what attacked you the other day, avengeful spirit, not

120
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: a giant black dog. I don't believe in monsters, all

121
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 1: the big foots, the snakes, the puckwag. I agree with you,

122
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: it's all nonsense, the errors of human perception. But spirits,

123
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: you believe there our worlds beyond this one. I'm sure

124
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: about that. And the veil between it's starting to be

125
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: ripped open. That's why all of this is happening. Now,

126
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: that's what Celeste says. She hasn't come right out and

127
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: said it, but yes, that's what the gathering believes. Celeste

128
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: is trying to keep things quiet, keep the peace. Wait,

129
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: there's in fighting. Some of our members want to help

130
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: open the veil, let all the spirits out. That's what

131
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: the children of Tischiba were trying to do, open the

132
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: gates of hell. It isn't hell. It's not that binary, Katie,

133
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: Why are you here? It's Celest She's doing ritual tonight

134
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: at the ledge. What kind of ritual? She's going to

135
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: try to fix the terar? But I thought you said

136
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: she wasn't a witch. She's not, but she I think

137
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: something happened years ago. She blames herself for all the troubles.

138
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: Now she thinks she's the only one who can fix it.

139
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: What what does that have to do with us? You

140
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: and the officer beck Are you're the only ones I

141
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: trust to help her. If you know where she is.

142
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: Why don't you just go and you stop her? Okay? No,

143
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to stop her. I just I'm scared, Okay.

144
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: So Lesta is right, I'm not ready. I'm not ready

145
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: to confront any spirits little and my mother's and I

146
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen tonight. So you want

147
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: us to to protect her? Just you an officer Becker,

148
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: you're the only ones Katie. Last time I checked, your

149
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: girlfriend is an actual police officer. I think she'd be

150
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: pretty capable of protecting Celeste from imaginary spirits. Why don't

151
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: you talk to her? I don't want to put Maria

152
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: in the middle of this, okay, But me and Anne,

153
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: you'd be happy to put us in the middle of it,

154
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: put us in the land of fire. I don't want

155
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: to see Celesque get arrested. Okay. So you're expecting her

156
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: to break the law of that? Please just go to

157
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: the ledge tonight, help her. Well, it could be an

158
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: interesting prologue for the book you have to bring Anne.

159
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm not talking to her, right now I don't care

160
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: and the Woods won't. Either you and Anne have to

161
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: go together or something something terrible is going to happen.

185
00:12:52,960 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: let's not talk, okay, but please, Jeremy. Look, I only

186
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: asked you to come with me because I think Celeste

187
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: will only talk to both of us. We are not friends, okay,

188
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: and we're not back on a case together. I just

189
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: needed you today. That's it, got it? What was that?

190
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, probably a dog or something, or a wolf.

191
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: I don't know a wolf. There is wildlife out here, Anne, Jeremy,

192
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: let's just keep moving. The thing is, no, never mind,

193
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: it's just what I don't understand is okay, let's just

194
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: focus on what we're doing here. So that's fine with me.

195
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 1: And what are we doing here? While a woman in

196
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: a cult told me that she was worried about her

197
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: spiritual leader and that we were the only ones that

198
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: could help her, and you thought that sounded like a

199
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: great idea. No, I don't know, An, I don't know.

200
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing because two

201
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: weeks ago I didn't have anything of my father and

202
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: now now I have his badge and an entire family

203
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: that I didn't know about. But blood doesn't make family. Jareman,

204
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: trust me? Trust you? Trust you? How dare you talk

205
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: to me about family when you destroyed mine? Okay, it

206
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: wasn't my fault that your parents marriage fell apart. I

207
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: would stop talking if I were you. Your father made

208
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: the exact same choices that I did. No, he didn't

209
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: because he went out there alone and you just let

210
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: him go out there alone. Oh my god, don't you

211
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: think I know that? You think that that hasn't haunted

212
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: me for forty years. This is exactly why no one

213
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: wants anything to do with me. I've spent my whole

214
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: life trying to find out what happened, and because of that,

215
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: I couldn't have my family. You know, I would have

216
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: done anything, anything to have Thomas back, but I couldn't

217
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: even have that either. But you could have had me.

218
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: You're not You're not the only person that lost someone

219
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: In me and my mother, nothing was ever the same,

220
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: and I never knew why, and now I know why.

221
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: But we could have had each other, you and me.

222
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: There's so many things I'm mad about and there's so

223
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: many but that's like we could have had each other. Jeremy,

224
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm I'm so sorry. No, Jeremy, just let me get

225
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: this out and behind you? Oh my god? What I

226
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: come on? And wait? We have to follow them and

227
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: we can't just know these are the same lights that

228
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: Ethan saw. Yes, no, we have to find where they lead.

229
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: Where did they go? Are we even sure that we

230
00:15:54,360 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: saw those? Okay? Okay, okay, the ledge. Let's just get

231
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: to the ledge. Wait do you hear that? Jeremy, be careful,

232
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: it sounds like celest No, we don't know that there

233
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: are no ghosts in here. Okay, and Jeremy, thank you

234
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:33,359
Speaker 1: for coming. You were expecting us. Of course you were invited.

235
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: Oh right, of course, Katie manipulated me and you are

236
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: not in trouble. You lured us here. Great, it's important

237
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: that you be here for this. And what is this?

238
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: The truth? Finally, the truth? Did you see the lights? Yes?

239
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: I saw something. They led you here, didn't they? Can

240
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: you just stop being cryptic and tell us what the

241
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: hell is going on? It's happening again? What's happening again.

242
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: You remember Anne, Forty years ago the veil between worlds opened,

243
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: leaving us vulnerable to all sorts of creatures. Radshaw's right

244
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: cut the craps of us. We were trying to protect

245
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: the world, that's all we were doing. Who the gathering.

246
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: We had nothing to do with the missing girl or

247
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: the boy who went missing over the weekend. That boy

248
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: was my grandson, and I am so glad that he

249
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: is all right, that we were able to save him.

250
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 1: There are dangerous forces at work, and you want us

251
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: for what for some kind of ritual to close this

252
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: imaginary door. No, you won't be able to assist. This

253
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: is something I have to do alone. But I wanted

254
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: you here as witness and to tell you the truth. Well,

255
00:17:55,359 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: guess what. We are no longer interested in your ghost story. Okay,

256
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: this isn't a ghost story. It's about your father. I

257
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: left the badge what you It has been in my

258
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: possession for forty years. When the trouble began earlier this year,

259
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: I knew the veil was opening again. What trouble a

260
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: higher number of sightings of disappearance as a general unrest

261
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: here in the forest and in the swamp. We could

262
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: feel it all of us, But I am the sole

263
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: member who was here back then, all those years ago,

264
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 1: I was able to recognize it for what it is.

265
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: What does this have anything to do with Thomas? I

266
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: wanted to place the piece of him that remained in

267
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: this plane back where it belonged. Why did you have

268
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: my father's badge? If you're making this up, I promise you, Jeremy,

269
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: I am not. Why did you have it in the

270
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: first place? Because I was there the night he plummeted

271
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: to the ground from this ledge. He was come here

272
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: closer to the edge, and do not fear me, Jeremy,

273
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: You are not in danger here. That's rather the whole point.

274
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: Forty years ago, I was standing on this ledge with

275
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,239
Speaker 1: members of the gathering, or at least that's who I

276
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: thought they were. I was a young member then, still

277
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: so excited to have an outlet for the connection I

278
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: had always felt to this place. I was honored to

279
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: have been invited to such a central ceremony. We were

280
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: performing a ritual, trying to communicate with the dead. Beloved spirits,

281
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: please move among us and speak through us. We welcome

282
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: you with open minds and hearts. Had all started normally enough.

283
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: But I should have known, by the leader's choice of

284
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: words English as his vessel no less, that I was

285
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: not among the pupil I had grown to love and trust.

286
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: We called to you, spirits of the deep, great and powerful.

287
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: It was the children of Titchiba trying to open the

288
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: gates to the underworld, defiling everything that I and the

289
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: gathering stood for. And it was beginning to work. They've

290
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: been trying for months. The doors were left ajar, and

291
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: a final, ultimate sacrifice was needed to swing the gates open.

292
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: Did you hear that the spirits are here? Hear us, spirits?

293
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: We prostrate ourselves before you. One of the members was

294
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: prepared to throw themselves off the ledge. The blood sacrifice,

295
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: the final key, the final lock on the door to

296
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,479
Speaker 1: the other world. Once I realized what was happening, I

297
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: tried to stop it. Wait, no, you can't. You don't understand.

298
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: This is powerful magic. You're dealing with spirits. We call

299
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: to you stop shut her up the underworld. There were

300
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: too many of them that believed. They thought I would agree,

301
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: simply because I wanted to find a portal. But they

302
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: were getting so close. The gates were opening. The lake

303
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: was shimmering a portal forming above it, but we were interrupted.

304
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: Step police, keep going, We call to you, spirits, stay

305
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: right there. Thomas found us. The lights had lured him

306
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: to the ledge, just like they brought you here tonight.

307
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: And then, spirits, we call to you. Open the gates.

308
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: Stop right now. He saw what one of the members

309
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: was about to do, and he wanted to stop it. No,

310
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: you don't have to do this. I will live in

311
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: glory forever. Open the gates. Let your power pour out.

312
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: There were too many of them, too strong and determined.

313
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: He was just trying to stop someone from making the

314
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: ultimate sacrifice. And instead we looked for his body for

315
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: hours until the sun rose, but we never found it.

316
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: But his badge was down there along the shore. He

317
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: fell off this ledge. It was an accident, a horrible,

318
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: horrible accident. No, no, no, it was fucking murder. He

319
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: made the ultimate sacrifice, fell into the lake, into the

320
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: portal that we had half opened. No, he didn't fall

321
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: into a fucking portal. He fell to his death, and

322
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 1: you never reported it, and you lied to the police.

323
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: You lied to me. I needed to protect our work.

324
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: The children of Titchapa were close. They were wrong, but

325
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: they were close, knowing that the portal could be open,

326
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: that proper communication between worlds could be established. It was

327
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: too important, bigger than any single death. So, because you

328
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 1: believe that the Bridgewater Triangle is some kind of fucking

329
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: gate to the other world, you let a good man's

330
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: murder go unsolved for forty years. For forty years, I

331
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: didn't know what happened to my father. He wasn't murdered.

332
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: Why leave the badge in the forest at all after

333
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: all this time? Why because things need to be done,

334
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: and I didn't want to leave before, being fully honest,

335
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: And there's a chance now, there's a chance for him

336
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: to find peace. What are you talking about? If his

337
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: spirit had something to anchor to. When the portal is

338
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: open again, which it will be soon, he'll be set

339
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: free from the trap that he's been in. He hasn't

340
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: been in a trap. He's been dead all this fucking time.

341
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: He's been dead, jeer, And how are you not furious

342
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 1: right now? After all of this, This is the answer.

343
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: He's really gone. I've been trying to get him back,

344
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: I promise you. But he's messages. I mean, he's been

345
00:23:54,760 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 1: leaving me messages. Yes, the veil ist thin. There are echoes. No, no,

346
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: that's not just the echo. He's not he's not. I mean,

347
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: he can't be gone. He can't and it is over. No,

348
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm so so sorry. You don't get to be sorry.

349
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: You and your group are responsible. He was just doing

350
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: his job. Okay, try and understand. And because you refused

351
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: to tell us the truth about what you were doing,

352
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: it wasn't me. I didn't even know the truth of

353
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: what was possible. Not then the truth. They weren't doing anything,

354
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: and now you're not doing anything. The truth won't wait

355
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: for you to believe it. Jeremy, it's happening again. The

356
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: children of Titchyba were wrong. They weren't controlling if they

357
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: were drawing the dark spirits out. But the portal, the

358
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: portal wants to be open, The veil wants to be lifted.

359
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: It's happening. It's Jeremy, and it's okay. Just just get

360
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: back to the tree line, hold on to something. The

361
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: storm will pass. He's right, This storm will pass. Things

362
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: will be set to right. I am sorry about your father.

363
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you made an unwilling sacrifice. It was for

364
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: not then, but it won't be now. What are you

365
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: talking about the Hordle still needs blood to open, willing blood.

366
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,480
