00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Hi there to Mumbay listeners. This is Fred Greenholsch, the

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: host of Undertow Realm's premiere horror podcast, and I'm excited

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: to let you know that the creators of Tumumbay have

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: a new show out with us called The Sisters. When

5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: the curator of a museum of medical oddities receives a

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: mysterious gift, she uncovers a story of a curse that

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: connects her present with one family's haunted past. Terrifyingly enough,

8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: this tale of grief and obsession was inspired by real events,

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: and if you are a skeptic about ghosts and the paranormal,

10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: while listening to The Sisters will probably make you think again.

11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: Today you'll hear the first full episode of The Sisters.

12
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,720

Speaker 2: It happened in Hexham, England in the nineteen fifties and sixties.

16
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: Names have been changed out of respect to the victims

17
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: and to protect the innocent. The Sisters episode one Believe

Speaker 6: years old. We live in Hexham, England. We ride bikes.

41
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 11: Hell.

42
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 12: Hello, good afternoon. My name is Frankie Bradshaw. I'm the

43
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 12: chief curator of the world famous Motor Museum here in

44
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 12: downtown Philadelphia, and I'll be your tour guide through Hell. Kidding,

45
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 12: that's just a joke. Before we get started, you should

46
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 12: know some of the objects on display here can be

47
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 12: quite triggering. I hate that word, but it's true. This

48
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 12: isn't a typical museum. It's not filled with beautiful objects.

49
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 12: To the contrary, it's a showcase of imperfection, an unflinching

50
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 12: look into the mysteries of the human body, and that.

51
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 13: Yes, you have a question.

52
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 14: Is it true you have a piece of Einstein's brain?

53
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 8: Yes, we do.

54
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 12: We also have the fucking moor of pickled skin. This

55
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 12: is the last place I ever wanted to work.

56
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 11: Yes.

57
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 12: Actually, when I was in grad school at Penn, I

58
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 12: thought I'd be the curator of the Philadelphia Art Museum

59
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 12: by now, or at least a gallery with actual art.

60
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 10: Follow me.

61
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 12: The fact is I'm thirty four years old and working

62
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 12: here is one step above Ripley's believe it or not.

63
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 14: So where's the rest of Einstein's brain?

64
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 8: Do you keep it on a separate floor?

65
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 13: Like the different rings and Lord of the Rings?

66
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 15: It's too powerful to have them together?

67
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 12: So how do I deal with questions like these? I

68
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 12: sneak into the bathroom for a drink. I really shouldn't.

69
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 12: What I should do is call my sponsor. But before

70
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 12: I get the chance, Frankie, Yes, duncan, I'm in here.

Speaker 15: any time for it.

00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 13: Did you tell them you work here?

74
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 15: Yes, Frankie, of course.

75
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 16: Well what kind of box?

76
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 15: I don't know. I haven't seen it.

77
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 17: I want you, Frankie, what should I tell him?

78
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,760

00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 12: How big is it?

90
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 14: Oh?

00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 13: Let's take the plastic off.

93
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 15: Okay, let me cut it.

94
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 14: Shit.

95
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 13: I think it's some kind of animal.

96
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 15: Animal, Franky, it's a bipedal. Do you know what this is?

97
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 15: It's a fucking alien. Look at the thing. It's huge.

98
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 12: It is huge, twice as thick and several feet longer

99
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 12: than a normal human skeleton. And there's no space between

100
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 12: the bones. It's like the skeletal remains of a blob.

101
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 15: Jesus, where do you think he's from? Mars or Venus?

102
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 12: Probably New Jersey? Oh, come on, Duncan, don't you see

103
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 12: it's a prank, you think. Yeah, remember the two headed

104
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 12: pig man we got in the mail last year.

105
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 13: That was very convincing, I know, And remember how disappointed

106
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 13: you were hi estas, Yeah, I know. It's my faults.

107
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 12: Day is my childhood friend from Hershey, Pennsylvania. She's from

108
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 12: an orthodox Jewish family, but she's a devout atheist like me.

109
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 12: I'm proud of her. She's the best medical examiner in Philly.

110
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 11: Anyway, it's been a long day.

111
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 13: Listen, we have something for you. Tada, So what do

112
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 13: you think? It just arrived?

113
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 14: Duncan thinks it's an alien?

114
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 11: Tilt the camera, Frankie.

115
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 15: Frankie thinks it's a frank.

116
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 11: Oh, it's not a prank. Pull back, Frankie scroll from

117
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 11: head to toe.

118
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 13: Poor woman, it's a woman.

119
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 11: I think. So it's hard to tell over FaceTime. Maybe

120
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 11: I can come by tomorrow and take a closer look.

121
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 15: Sure, that'll be great.

122
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 11: Just so I'm clear, there was no information, no return address.

123
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 14: Nothing, no, no.

124
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 13: She came in this box, just totally anonymous.

125
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 5: Shall we stop.

126
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 6: Right?

127
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 19: Today is August the twenty third, nineteen sixty nine, and

128
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 19: I'm here interviewing Francis Pollard has brought hospital night and

129
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 19: Gal wins.

130
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 8: It's all right.

131
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 14: You can call it an asylum for the criminally insane,

132
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 14: because that's what it is.

133
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 19: I'm here to help you better understand your your situation.

134
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 14: No doctor, No, you're here to answer a question.

135
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 5: Well, hopefully together we will answer many.

136
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 8: No, just one.

137
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 14: Why would a mother come to the conclusion that the

138
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 14: world would be a better place if her children were dead?

139
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 5: That's the question.

140
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,560

00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 14: In fact, the war was over, we had a new

161
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 14: queen on our throne, and we just bought our first

162
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 14: car on higher purchase. It seemed like it really was

163
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:30,599
Speaker 14: a new era where everything was possible. My husband, Thomas

164
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 14: was an engineer. He worked at the local car factory.

165
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 14: Was a good, steady job. We enjoyed simple pleasures, you know,

166
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 14: family outings, picnics by the lake, church, social events, we

167
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 14: went to Saint Luke's. But most of all we enjoyed

168
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 14: going to the pictures around New York, especially Hollywood movies

169
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 14: from America.

170
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 6: I want to go to America in there. Why no,

171
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 6: you don't. You're only seen it because I said it.

172
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 11: No, not, yes, you are.

173
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 14: Girls. We had everything we needed, and yet Thomas.

174
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 5: What about Thomas Francis?

175
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 14: There was Somehow did I ever really know him?

176
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 5: What do you mean, Francis?

177
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 6: You're such a good girl? You know, I think Matelda

178
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 6: needs a brother. Good idea, Mary? Hey, Dad, can we

179
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 6: get a boy dog? What we can name him Cliff?

180
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 9: Oh no, no, no, no more dogs. No, but listen,

181
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 9: I've got something even better for you. Come on, come on, girls,

182
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 9: follow into the garage.

183
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 5: Is this another invention?

184
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 11: Daddy.

185
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 9: No, no, it's not just another invention.

186
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 5: It's the invention.

187
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 9: This is my masterpiece. You ready, Tella, Well.

188
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 11: What is it?

189
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 9: This is our future, girls. It's a refrigerator motor, my

190
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 9: original design, so it will allow fridges to run longer

191
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 9: and more efficiently.

192
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 8: Do you have any other inventions?

193
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 15: This is my masterpiece.

194
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 14: So that's how it started with a fridge motor. He

195
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 14: took it around the trade show as we tried to

196
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 14: find investors. No one was interested. As far as I

197
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 14: was concerned, it was a hobby, something he tinkered within

198
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 14: the garage. I didn't realize then that.

199
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 5: What didn't you realize, fancis.

200
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 14: That it would lead to the end of everything. Fancy

201
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 14: a cup of tea?

202
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 5: Love?

203
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 6: Oh?

204
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 11: Yes.

205
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 14: One evening we were watching television. The girls were upstairs asleep,

206
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 14: and suddenly Matilda, our dog, began running around in circus bark.

207
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 4: Mantilda calmed down, Helmos got into her.

208
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 9: Eight until they come here.

209
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 14: You expecting anyone?

210
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 9: It's probably someone collected for something, all right or right?

211
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 10: I'm coming.

212
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, hello, there are you Thomas Pola? If not,

213
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 4: I've got their own half.

214
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 11: Hi.

215
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 13: I'm Frankie. Hi. Hi, I'm an alcoholic.

216
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 8: Yeah.

217
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 13: I'd been sober, well semi sober.

218
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 12: For you know, about three years, but the last six

219
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 12: months have been, uh been pretty rough on me.

220
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 13: You know, I got divorced. Well, I mean it wasn't consensual,

221
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 13: you know.

222
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 12: He he left me, which was probably a good decision

223
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 12: on his part because I'm a complete mess.

224
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 13: But you know, I'm I'm.

225
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 12: Also a fighter.

226
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 20: So here I am bagels.

227
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,600

00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 15: I stay here? The best?

230
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 16: Could you remember this extra cream cheese? Yes, we're all

231
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 16: going to have high cholesterol. Now where is she in

232
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 16: the back? Come on, so, Frankie, how was your date

233
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 16: last night?

234
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 8: Oh?

235
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 16: Shit, you forgot Huh?

236
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 8: Poor guy.

237
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 13: He'll be fine. He's a straight man on tender. He

238
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 13: probably had another date lined up right after. Besides, I'm

239
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 13: preoccupied with who Banil?

240
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 11: Frankie, you got to stop thinking about him. It's over.

241
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 14: No, not Banil.

242
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 13: I was thinking about Matilda, who.

243
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 15: She named the skeleton Matilda?

244
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 16: You name the skeleton Matilda?

245
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 11: It's cute?

246
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 16: Any reason?

247
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 11: Why?

248
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 14: No?

249
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 13: Not really, It's just sort of came to me.

250
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 12: Okay, there she is, that's her in the box.

251
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 15: And I still think it's an alien.

252
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 20: Mm hmm, this is wow.

253
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 16: The bones are so thick. See here, the first seven

254
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 16: ribs are completely fused. They're thick as baseball bats.

255
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 21: Right, I've never seen anything like this?

256
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 15: Who is she?

257
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 14: Not she? They?

258
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 11: Maybe?

259
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 8: Wait?

260
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 14: Two people?

261
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 11: Oh?

262
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 16: Look at the neck here in the conjoin twins connected

263
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 16: like this, just stacked on top of each other, their

264
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 16: organs would be crushed.

265
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 12: I mean, she's not a conjoined twin, She's not a giant.

266
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 8: Who is she?

267
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 16: I don't There is one other possibility?

268
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 11: What I have to call?

269
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 14: Doctor Lee? Who my boss?

270
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 16: Can you stop by?

271
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 5: Is there a better light back here?

272
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 15: Maybe turn on the overheads they're already on.

273
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 11: Oh maybe it's just my eyes.

274
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 5: No, that can't be possible.

275
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, to say it?

276
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 16: Say what it's FOP right?

277
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 5: FOP yes?

278
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 16: Or to use the technical name fibro dysplasia osipicuns progressive.

279
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 14: My god, there's only been a handful of cases.

280
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 13: Really in your whole career.

281
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 4: Ever, and you have no idea where it came from.

282
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 12: No, she was sent here anonymously.

283
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 5: Well I need to know more. Can I take her

284
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 5: back to my office?

285
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 11: No?

286
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 12: Sorry, it might be helpful I know, but it was

287
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 12: sent here Esda to me.

288
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 5: Is this about credit?

289
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 11: Yes?

290
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 12: Actually, I'm the curator of this museum.

291
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 5: Who else has seen it?

292
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 16: Just us break it down for me, Doc, What is FOP?

293
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 15: I mean?

294
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 12: If what you're saying is true, if it's so extremely rare,

295
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 12: then finding the owner of this skeleton shouldn't be too hard, right, Okay,

296
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 12: let's see For the next week, I researched every known

297
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 12: case of FOP I could find Harvard Medical Journal, July.

298
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 12: It turns out FOP is an extremely rare genetic disorder

299
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 12: that causes the body's soft tissue to transform permanently into bone.

300
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 12: In other words, a second skeleton grows on top of

301
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 12: the first. Early doctors posited that it was the result

302
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 12: of two souls trapped in one body. Hi, I'm calling

303
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 12: about an old case of a child with FOP back

304
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 12: in the early seventies in a village called Mattie Carrey. Okay,

305
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 12: this might sound kind of strange, but basically, in nineteen

306
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 12: seventy two, in the small farm town of Mahdi, Care, India,

307
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 12: a boy named ragu Basi Maadra was born with FOP.

308
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 12: Some of the locals worshiped him as the reincarnation of

309
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 12: the god Vishnu.

310
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 13: You knew the location of that skeleton at this time.

311
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 11: Sorry unusual cases.

312
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 12: My apartment slowly transformed into a science lab. I pinned

313
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 12: up pictures of bones on the wall, surrounded by anatomy

314
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 12: textbooks and medical journals. If someone walked in on me,

315
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 12: they'd think I was a doctor, or a serial killer,

316
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 12: or just a lonely woman desperate to connect some dots

317
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 12: and that our next guest is.

318
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 8: Great.

319
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,359
