And yeah, so I feel if 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.320 you want to head just I'll let me say it's 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:16.040 a very well known thing, okay, yeah, and that so 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.440 please take again it And as they say on with 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:22.880 the show, today's story takes place in Stall, Kansas, which 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:27.080 is about fifty miles from Kansas City or Missouri or 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:32.800 it's you said, it's about ten outside of Lawrence. Yeah. Yeah, 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.560 and everybody knows where that is, of course, yeah, of course. Uh. 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.520 And there's there's quite as it's been quite a legend 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.320 around that area. It's pretty well known and depending on 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:45.160 the sources, this story has been around for anywhere from 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.560 fifty to a hundred plus years. Yeah, though it's it 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.440 seems too well. I'll talk about that more later. Yeah, 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:53.880 just quickly, then, let me describe Stall, because I got 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:57.840 a Google streep you this afternoon look at everything, and yeah, 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.720 I know, I know. Um. And so it's title town 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:02.919 of I don't know, twenty or thirty people or something 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.360 like that. Not very many people lived there. And by 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.280 the way, when I was cruising through on Google street View, 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:11.760 not a soul was evident, not a single human being 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:16.560 was in sight. Well that was the story, the story 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.239 itself from this creepy little town. According to Joe, all 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:24.040 centers around the cemetery in that town, and in the 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:29.360 cemetery supposedly is a gateway to help. So here's the legend. 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:36.119 In eighteen sixty seven a church was built where currently 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:42.120 the Stall cemeteries located, and that church was eventually abandoned 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:46.240 and it fell into disrepair. Maybe part of the reason 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.760 is the fact that behind the church is a set 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.520 of stairs, which, according to the legend, opens up on 0:03:53.640 --> 0:04:00.640 Halloween and from it emerges Satan himself. That's right, old scratch. 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:06.360 And why do you know why? Because because he want 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.560 breath of fresh air. Maybe well, yeah, probably to reclaim 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.480 the souls of the damned. Well, there's actually a lot 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:17.880 of supposed reasons why Satan comes out of this stairway 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:23.320 on Halloween at midnight on Halloween every year, and this 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.040 is kind of a laundry list. I'm sorry. Is it 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.159 just the one night or is there another night? Well, 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:35.200 depends on the accounts. There's Halloween, there's the spring or 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:41.400 summer equinox, supposedly, I mean, people account a lot of 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:45.120 different days and it's that midnight, but it's always at midnight. Interesting, 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.960 always at midden. I have such a problem with that time. 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:53.880 But okay, sure, why well, okay, so in pretty much 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.120 all of the like accepted Christian lore, the night, the 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.400 hour of the witching hour, almost the hour of beast 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.200 is actually three am. So it's always interesting when people 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.640 are like, oh, yeah, it's a midnight, because that's like, 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:11.159 for whatever reason, not nearly as like credit double credible. 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:12.840 There we go with the word I'm looking for. It's 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:16.719 not only as credible or like mysterious and believable to 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:18.720 me as when people are like, oh, it was like 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.839 almost three am. I think it's got something to do 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.880 with the you know, the clock hitting and the night spinning. 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.680 I don't know, there's all kinds of it's always it's 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:31.839 always midnight. Midnight has always had that sort of creepiness 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:33.800 about it, or so for some reason, just the very 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:39.000 word midnight. Yeah yeah, all right, Well, let's let's go 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.080 through this, this list of supposed reasons as to why 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.520 Satan himself comes out every night. The first is that 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:49.800 the graveyard which the church is located on, sits on 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:53.479 one of the seven points on this planet where the 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:57.920 devil has his gateways. There's okay, run with me here. 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:03.920 There's seven gateways to Hell on this planet. Supposedly one 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:07.160 of them is located somewhere in India, and according to 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.680 the legend, it just happens to be that Stall, Kansas 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.960 houses one of those very spots. So they just had 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:15.840 the bad luck to build their church right right the 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:19.719 top of a stairway to Hell. Basically, yeah, so yeah, 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:21.720 they had a really bad surveyor I don't know, I 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.880 would guess that there was some kind of like, oh, yeah, 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:25.560 there was a draw there because there was so much 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:27.480 evil and they felt the need to cleanse it. But 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:31.120 and and we're gonna we'll go into some of that stuff. 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.040 Let then let me just kind of run through this. 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.559 Think the Satan put some some warning signs up, don't 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:40.880 build here, you know, because that's the way he is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.440 he's a real warner. Wants you to build there, all right. 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:47.920 The next is that that location was a favorite spots 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:53.720 for witches to practice black arts, and they do this 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.599 because of the fact that this place is a focal 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.360 point for black magic. Again, if I'm guessing this is 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.000 based on being a gateway, this focus one of the 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.919 seven points on the planet, and also because there's a 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:08.200 large pine tree on the grounds that was used to 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.040 hang at one time, which is I just feel like 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.600 this is a chicken egg scenario. Yeah, well, let me 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.640 let me keep going. I got a tree to talk about. 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.640 The tree has been in the graveyard evidently for decades 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:24.440 and up until several years ago when it was cut down. 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.040 But evidently there was a headstone at the base of 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.360 the tree, and the tree had grown up and around 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:34.679 this headstone and eventually split it apart, which is something 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:38.760 that people point to as evidence that it's an evil place. 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:44.000 That's just kind of what tree roots do. Yeah, I know, 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.520 let's see. The next one is that Satan is visiting 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:52.040 a dead witch who was at one time his bride 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:55.800 who was buried there. Yeah, as we saw on the 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:59.440 thrilling documentary of Corpse Bride. I didn't see that one. 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:03.320 Putting them before I get too far off, I'm pretty sure. 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:05.520 Did Do you ever, either of you ever watch that 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:10.440 TV shows Supernatural? That's it's not on anymore, right, I 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:14.400 think it might be done. I I watched some. Yeah, 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:18.200 but evidently evidently there was an episode where they actually 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.480 played off of this whole Gateway to Hell installed and 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.480 there was a season finale where they were shutting the 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.760 Gateway to Hell and it was installed, and they were 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.880 like inside them, they were shutting the Gateway to Hell. 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.199 They were closing it from it was closed on them. 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:36.200 They were closing it to stop the evening escaping. I 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:39.080 haven't seen the episode. I just happened to find something 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:42.800 that related to and then read it on IMDb. Padlock 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:47.480 on it. Yeah, I think concrete. Yeah, Okay. The next 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.160 reason that Satan would be coming out at that location, 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:54.600 he's visiting a son that he had with a witch, 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.400 and that son was so deformed that he only lived 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:02.679 for a few days end. According to the legend, the 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:08.360 ghost of this boy appears on Halloween as a werewolf 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.679 and scares or chases people off of the grounds or 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:17.200 prowls around the woods. How many? How many supernatural legends 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:22.920 can we cram into one theory? Just wait? Actually, I 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.040 which attack a few more on Well we're at it. Well, 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:28.480 let me let me before you start working on these, 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.520 let me just give you the rest of them, because well, 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.720 I gotta say the story about Satan's son who was 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.400 it was deformed and diet maybe you know, I feel 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:39.760 really sorry for Satan. I'm next up the legends. And 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.720 this is again another reason that it's so haunted and 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:47.840 so terrible. Is that in the eighteen fifties, the mayor 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:51.880 of the town of Stall was stabbed to death by 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:56.120 a stable hand in a stone barn that was on 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.760 the cemetery grounds. And I'm guessing the idea behind that 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:04.000 is that it's desecrations of hallowed ground. I've got to 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.719 guess that's why this would be a reason, but I'm 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:10.160 not sure. Like the Indian grave thing, right, you're you know, 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.560 this is a hallowed site and then you commit murder, 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:15.880 although I guess that would mean that no more than 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:21.640 seventeen years later, but probably like ten years later they 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:23.960 built a church on top of that building. So that's 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:28.520 a weird. I'm sorry, I'm just like attacking, but I 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:32.000 need I need a little clarification here. Okay, So the 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.920 town was stabbed and that's what attracted Satan to it, 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.440 or it was the gateway was already there, and I 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:44.320 think it attracted Satan. Again, it's so it's committing murder 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:48.760 on on hallowed ground. That wasn't that that it was 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.920 a cemetery at that time, which is technically theoretically according 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:53.920 you know, it was supposed to be. When when it's 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:58.120 a um some kind of religious burial area, you know, 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.680 it's whatever. I can't remember. It was Germanic people that 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:05.960 had settled the area and had made the graveyard, and 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:11.200 suddenly I can't remember whether they were Catholic or what. 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:13.840 But you know, if it's at that point it's a graveyard, 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.040 it's a hallowed piece of ground. But it was in 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.600 a barn on a graveyard. So how does that make 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:23.439 a difference. You know? I think what we need to 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.800 do is actually that there's a really cool graveyard not 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:27.760 far from where I live. It's a it's a very 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.920 old Pioneer Graveyard. Let's let's go murder somebody there and 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:34.200 see if it's stairway the hell appears. Okay, onto the 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:37.160 next one. Thank you, thank you for making Halloween just 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:42.400 got weirder. Thanks Joe. Uh here's our next one. In 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:46.080 early nineteen hundreds, and I don't have a year, but 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.320 this will be, you know, between nineteen hundred nineteen ten, 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.920 when everybody calls at the nineteen hundreds, I'm guessing that's 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:55.400 the time range we're looking at. A boy was accidentally 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.560 burned to death by his own father while he was 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:00.920 burning a field. So Dad, it's burned in the field, 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:06.240 doesn't realize the boys in the field, and its walk 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:10.240 out of the field or dies from smoke anilation, I 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.079 don't know for sure. And then a few years later 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:17.679 a man in the town was found hanging from a tree, 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.800 and I have to presume it's that same pine tree. 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:25.000 Um And both of these took place near a road 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:29.480 that was known as Devil's Road, which appeared on old 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:33.440 maps of Stall, but it doesn't exist anymore, so it's 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.920 it's not a modern road. You can't go on Google 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.520 maps and find it. But you know, some of the 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:43.840 hype maybe the fact that Stall is located. Also, this 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.120 is another thing to kind of go in that same 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:51.920 same vein, is that in the state, Stall is in 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:57.439 the Topeka zip code, and that's evidently has the prefix 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:00.720 of six six six the market of least this this 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:04.320 and this attracted Satan to the spot. I don't I'm 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:08.559 guessing we're still We're still. This is on the laundry 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:12.360 list of things that are built up around why Satan 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.360 might be coming there. I can't point it was attracted 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.840 to the six six six postal code, which didn't come 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.840 into exist as a delay in the nineteen sixties. I 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:24.040 don't know. Also, like, are we going to discuss the 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.400 fact that it turns out that six six six is 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:31.400 actually like a misinterpret misinterpretation. Actually we can actually talk 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.160 about that right now, I mean, what do we I 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:37.440 don't remember what is the translation? Correct, It's like six 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:41.760 six one or something. Six nine six is one possible 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:45.160 interpretation of it. It's not six six six whatever it is. Yes, 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.840 I know that that it's a misinterpretation. And the that 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.240 reminds me I saw this whole laundry list in this 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.760 in this humorous email that was rocketing around it was 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.559 like all these different numbers, like you know, six six 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.960 six six six six six six six social Security now 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:05.000 broke the beast and we're just the whole there, riffed 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:09.560 on the whole thing they had. Yeah, because we're not 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:12.240 done yet with the reasons why Satan might be coming 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:16.280 to this place. Uh. And and I should probably just 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:20.520 go ahead and say something right now, which is this 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:25.720 story kind of has the feel of a very urban legend. Yeah, 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:29.240 it's totally got the urban legend field, So don't I 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:32.360 think everybody who's listening is probably figured that out by now. 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.360 But I just want to say that, which is why 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:38.400 I want to get all of these supposed reasons out 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.680 there and out of the way. If you're already packing 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.840 your bags and then gassing up your car, is to 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:44.760 drive the Kansas to go look at this place. Hold 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:45.760 off a bit until we get to the end of 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:50.040 the Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you you'll find a few things. Um. Now, 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:54.280 this doesn't say exactly why he's going to that location, 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:59.200 but one of the things that it's believed he's doing 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:03.520 by I mean out at midnight on Halloween, is that 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.520 he's gathering up all of the souls in the area 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:10.160 and by the area. I don't know how big that is. 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:13.000 I don't know what that denotes. Is that the continental 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:16.040 US or is that just that area code? I don't know. 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.080 I like that. I like it that he operates by 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.560 ZIP code. Yeah, that's kind of cool. But but he's 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.560 gathering up all the souls in the area who died 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:27.320 of a violent death that year to then parade them 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:30.160 around the earth for one more night before taking them 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.600 back to Hell. Nice. Although just because somebody died of 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.280 violent death doesn't mean they gotta go to hell. Yeah, 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:37.880 because you never know, maybe you do go to Hell 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:39.520 for diying of violent death. You know, if you weren't 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:41.640 smart enough to out without what your adversary, maybe it 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.320 God send you to Hell for that. So sorry, you 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.720 guys were talking about something, but I was busy off 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:49.400 in google land. Um so I found the number of 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:53.760 the base, the actual number. It's um six one six. Well, okay, no, 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.760 I'm sorry. It's Google says it's six one six point 0:15:56.880 --> 0:16:01.320 six six six six six, So it's not a whole number, 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:05.480 it's not calculated number. So I guess the world's hardest. 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:11.880 I guess it's six one seven because you're round up. 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:14.920 But I don't. I mean, I'm just saying so, just 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.320 so f y I every listener, that is the number 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.360 of the piece, six six point six six six six six. 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.240 I don't know. I don't know where the number comes 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.520 from and why a fraction is attached to it, but 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:36.000 I don't know. Maybe maybe look it up later. Let's 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:40.760 let's keep and sorry, that's all right, I like that, Okay, Well, 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.160 and this is just more to add to the legend. 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:48.240 Less of a reason why Satan would come around, but 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:53.280 thanks to his presence, evidently strange things happen in the graveyard, 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:55.440 and these are a lot of room. This is some 0:16:55.560 --> 0:17:02.000 reports on all hallow z Halloween. People keep saying that 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:07.399 they are reporting strange moaning noises that the old church 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.600 that's on the property on the graveyard, that church that 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:14.159 we that was built, uh, still had a crucifix on 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.679 the wall, and evidently on Halloween the crucifix would spin 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.359 a hundred eighty degrees so that it was upside down, 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.199 which kind of sounds like pranksters to me. And I 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.040 also don't know that it would still be attached to 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:29.000 the wall, but that's what people say is happening. Think 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:32.160 somebody would have stolen a long time ago, you would, uh. 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:33.840 And and actually you know that there's a lot of 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.719 focus on the church. This this, the church this on 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:41.600 this site has spawned and helped foster a lot of 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:45.879 the stories in the legends. The church itself in the 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:51.840 early nine hundreds caught fire for reasons unknown. I could 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:54.400 never find out what caused the fire. It was never 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:57.080 recorded anywhere that I could track down. Probably caused by 0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:03.040 something flammable. But after it caught fire, stop being used. 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:08.360 And some people are saying that the religious community actually 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:12.840 destroyed the church themselves in an effort to seal the 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:18.679 gateway to Hell. So yeah, and because it wasn't maintained 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:22.240 for so long, the roof of the church actually blew 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:25.760 off many years ago, likely in a big windstorm, just 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:28.920 ripped off. So it's a building with no roof. That 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:31.919 sounds so much like an episode of True Detective. I 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:36.680 can't even tell I remember that church. But being open 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:40.240 to the sky, uh, it seems to be one thing 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:43.720 that that helps some of the stories. Um. It seems 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:47.679 to help the idea that witches and black magic are 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.879 taking place because they can get in on their flying broomsticks. 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:53.600 Now yeah, and they you know, they're not going to 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.760 be seen by anybody when they're doing their their practices. 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:02.160 According to the stories, when it rained in the area, 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:06.040 water would not fall on the inside of the church, 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:09.840 but instead would run off as if the roof was 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:13.480 still there. Well, obviously the rain didn't get the news. 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:18.520 Evidently there are reports that strong winds were actually happening 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:21.400 inside of the church. So this is this is kind 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:25.680 of that Poultergeist area where there's just strange cold spots 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:28.480 and winds out of nowhere. And there was one guy 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:31.560 who said that the wind was so strong it knocked 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:35.560 him over and quote held him down and wouldn't let 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:38.560 him up for a while. So they were probably hot 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:40.560 winds and they smelled the sulfur and all that stuff. 0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:44.119 Never heard that part. Nobody ever commented on the temperature, 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:46.840 which was a little funny to me for that same reason, 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:51.399 I know. But we still got some more things that 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:55.719 are about the church. Man. Oh yeah, there's a lot here. Uh, 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.760 there's there's glass bottles, so I don't know if you 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:02.879 guys had come across, but they yeah, some people say, 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:06.240 and they are adamant about this, that if you throw 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:09.560 through a glass bottle at the interior wall of the 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:14.480 church on Halloween, it wouldn't break. Or if you held 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:17.840 two glass bottles in the shape of the cross and 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:21.840 hit him against the wall, they wouldn't break, which is 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:26.720 a little odd that that also then spawns people to 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:30.479 say that, well, if you did throw a bottle at 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:33.760 the wall and it did break, then you were going 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:37.239 to hell. It's so convenient. It's so convenient. I just like, 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:41.480 for a second, like these kinds of stories are just 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:43.880 like the worst, right, because you're like, well, it didn't 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:45.239 break for me, but if it breaks for you, you're 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:47.439 going to hell, which is like it a house for 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:50.040 the fact that like anybody who has like a fine 0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:52.600 grasp of physics or like feels like they want to 0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:54.880 do it, they are going to go and it's gonna break, 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:56.639 and they're gonna be like, oh, well, maybe I'm going 0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:59.920 to hell. Or I have a really thick wine bottle 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:04.080 and you have a very thin walled vodka bottle. There's 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:07.879 always that even beer bottles don't breaks as easily as 0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:10.879 you would think. I remember many years ago, I was 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:12.520 out with a friend and we were kind of bored, 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:15.600 and uh so we decided to make a Molotov cocktail. 0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:19.120 So he poured some gasoline into a Raineer pounder, which 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:23.080 is a sixty in beer ball, which is actually, uh 0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:24.879 not as heavily built as like say a long neck 0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:26.600 bottle like you find a bud in or something like that. 0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:31.200 Those are those have thicker walls than the old Rainier pounders. 0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:33.879 And so we we stuffed a rag and you know, 0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:35.720 and then it was about half filled with gasoling and 0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:41.199 stuff to raging. And I'm so afraid it was. And 0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:42.960 so we were out and we go out to the 0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:45.639 middle of nowhere and we um and we light the 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:48.439 rag on fire, and then then we take the bottle 0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:51.400 and fling it like fling it hard down the road 0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:53.199 about twenty ft, you know, that's what. It hits the 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:58.960 pavement good and hard, and it didn't break. And yeah, 0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:01.240 so beer bottles don't break is easily a sea things. 0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:03.320 But I have a theory about the origin of this, 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:07.439 particularly this particular thing. Okay, let's hear this. Yeah, I'm curious, 0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:10.480 and just I'm curious. I think that somebody decided to 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:12.359 insert this in the legend at some point. This is 0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:14.600 the glass bottle, the glass bottle that that won't break. 0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:16.280 No matter, how are you start against the wall. I 0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:19.480 think whoever was doing it was being was some guy 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:22.840 and probably as Lateeen's earliest one, who was being a 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:27.000 complete flaming and thought, I know, I'm gonna trick all 0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:29.639 these people that go out there and the smashing bottles 0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:33.679 and leaving broken glass everywhere. So and so I think 0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:38.000 that's what I think it was. Could be all right? Well, 0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:40.480 and and and we've we're not done here with the 0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:44.400 legend and the stories around the legend. Uh, there are 0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:48.920 threads out there that say the name of the town 0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:53.560 was actually Skull and not Stall. So the town is 0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:56.639 s t U l L. And people are saying that 0:22:56.680 --> 0:23:00.320 that T was actually a K at one point, so 0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:04.160 it was the town of Skull, but the residents changed 0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:07.000 the name just Stall as a way to try to 0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:10.479 repent from the bad deeds that had happened there and 0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:13.800 throw people off from the trail of everything wrong that 0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:16.040 was done. If you're going to change your town name 0:23:16.560 --> 0:23:20.640 from Skull, I mean, just like change it a little more, 0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:29.720 maybe maybe like Scroll or like Keaven. How about I mean, 0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:33.080 like really you know the fact that you like change 0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:36.760 one letter in your thing, like that's probably we're not 0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:39.840 going to help so much. Maybe just be like no, no, no, 0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:43.040 we're called normal now. Well no, they just were as 0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:48.119 creative in the olden days. Apparently they didn't have the internets. 0:23:48.880 --> 0:23:51.320 They could have come up with something else. This is 0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:54.480 pretty I never I never knew that Kansas was such 0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:58.720 a hot bit of black magic and witchery. Evidently it is. Okay, well, 0:23:58.800 --> 0:24:01.359
