1
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 1: To find the rest, look for The Sisters, season six

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,360

Speaker 2: What you are about to hear is a true story.

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,320
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

18
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:57,480

Speaker 5: Is it black going to the dentist?

27
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 6: No, that's much nicer than going to the dentist.

28
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 4: What have you got there, Jill? What are you playing

29
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 4: with my locket? Is there anything inside it?

Speaker 4: Did you?

35
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 8: That doesn't mean anything?

36
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 4: She's heard me talk? Please let the child speak.

37
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 6: My name is mort all right, Maude, tell me about yourself.

38
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 9: My name is Jill any years old. We are eight

39
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 9: years old. We live in Hexham, England.

40
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 10: 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 Sprinkie Bradshaw. I'm the

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

44
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:05,480
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 7: Is it true you have a piece of Einstein's brain?

53
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 4: Yes, we do.

54
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,960
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 14: 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 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 6: 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 7: So where's the rest of Einstein's brain?

64
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 4: Do you keep it on a separate floor?

65
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 14: Like the different rings? And Lord of the Rings? It's

66
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 14: 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.

71
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 14: We just got a delivery, a box. They won't let

72
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 14: me time for it.

73
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 11: Did you tell them you work here?

74
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 14: Yes, Frankie, of course.

75
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 15: Well what kind of box?

76
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 4: I don't know.

77
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 14: I haven't seen it.

78
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 16: I want you, Frankie, what should I tell him?

79
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: Do you?

80
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 17: Frankie to diary?

81
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 4: Uh?

00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 12: Yeah, well sort of. I'm divorced. It's no longer.

83
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 14: My last name. Well, whatever your name is.

84
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: You kept me out here fifteen minutes freezing my assigh?

85
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 14: Yeah, sorry, don't be gorgeous A signy? So where's the

86
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 14: box back of the truck? You got a back door

87
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 14: or something.

88
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 18: I can help you load it in.

89
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 12: How big is it?

90
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 4: Oh?

91
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 8: It's big.

92
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 2: Let's take the plastic off.

93
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 14: Okay, let me cut it.

94
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 7: Shit.

95
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 12: I think it's some kind of animal.

96
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 14: Animal, Franky, it's a bipedal. Do you know what this is?

97
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 14: 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 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 14: 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 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 12: pig man we got in the mail.

105
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 14: Last year, Hey, that was very convincing.

106
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 11: I know.

107
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 12: And remember how disappointed you were.

108
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 11: Hi Estas, Yeah, I know.

109
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 12: It's my faults. Day is my childhood friend from Hershey, Pennsylvania.

110
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 12: She's from an orthodox Jewish family, but she's a devout

111
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 12: atheist like me. I'm proud of her. She's the best

112
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 12: medical examiner in Philly.

113
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 11: Anyway, it's been a long day.

114
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 12: Listen, we have something for you. Tada, So what do

115
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 12: you think? It just arrived?

116
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 7: Duncan thinks it's an alien?

117
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 11: Tilt the camera, Frankie.

118
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 14: Frankie thinks it's a frank.

119
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 11: Oh, it's not a prank. Pull back, Frankie, scroll from

120
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 11: head to toe.

121
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: Poor woman, it's a woman.

122
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 11: I think. So it's hard to tell over FaceTime. Maybe

123
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 11: I can come by tomorrow and take a closer look.

124
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 14: Sure, that'll be great.

125
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 11: Just so I'm clear, there was no information, no return address.

126
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 12: Nothing, no no, she came in this box, just totally anonymous.

127
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 8: Shall we stop right?

128
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 18: Today is August the twenty third, nineteen sixty nine, and

129
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 18: I'm here interviewing Francis Pollard. Has brought hospital night and

130
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 18: giral wins.

131
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 4: It's all right.

132
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 7: You can call it an asylum for the criminally insane,

133
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 7: because that's what it is.

134
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 18: I'm here to help you better understand your your situation.

135
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 7: No doctor, No, you're here to answer a question.

136
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 8: Well, hopefully together we will answer many.

137
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 4: No, just one.

138
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 7: Why would a mother come to the conclusion that the

139
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 7: world would be a better place if her children were dead?

140
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 7: That's the question.

141
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 19: Okay, yeah, all right, Mum and dad, if you stand

142
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 19: on either side of.

143
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 8: The girls, all right, like this yet? Yeah, just like

144
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 8: that it Maud, move a bit closer on the sofa.

145
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 13: I'm Mary.

146
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 8: It's okay.

147
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 7: Everyone confuses.

148
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 19: Sorry about that, Mary, about you and your sister have

149
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 19: a lot of fun confusing people.

150
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 5: Ah, No, I'm married. No, I'm married.

151
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 20: Enough.

152
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,599
Speaker 17: Okay, a big smile everyone, three two one.

153
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 7: We had a happy life. We were a happy family until.

154
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 18: Relax, Francis, just relax, have another sip of water, the better.

155
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 4: Yes.

156
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 8: Do you want to stop now? No?

157
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 7: No, I want to carry on all right. It was

158
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 7: the summer of nineteen fifty seven, our last summer together.

159
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 7: Our twins Mary and Maude were everything we ever wanted.

160
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 7: It was a good year for us, for the whole country.

161
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 7: In fact, the war was over, we had a new

162
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 7: queen on our throne, and we just bought our first

163
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 7: car on higher purchase. It seemed like it really was

164
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:30,599
Speaker 7: a new era where everything was possible. My husband, Thomas,

165
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 7: was an engineer. He worked at the local car factory.

166
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 7: Was a good, steady job. We enjoyed simple pleasures, you know,

167
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 7: family outings, picnics by the lake, church, social events, we

168
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 7: went to Saint Luke's.

169
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 18: But most of all.

170
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 7: We enjoyed going to the pictures around New York, especially

171
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 7: Hollywood movies from America.

172
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 5: I want to go to America in there. Why no,

173
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 5: you don't. You're only seen it because I said it.

174
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 11: No, not yes, you are.

175
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 7: Girls. We had everything we needed, and yet Thomas.

176
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 8: What about Thomas Francis?

177
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 7: There was somehow did I ever really know him?

178
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 8: What do you mean, Francis?

179
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 20: You're such a good girl, you know I think Matelda

180
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 20: needs a brother. Good idea, Mary, Hey, Dad, can we

181
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 20: get a boy dog? What we can name him Cliff?

182
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 19: Oh no, no, no, no more dogs.

183
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 18: No, but listen, I've got something even better for you.

184
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 17: Come on, come on, girls.

185
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 19: Following into the garage.

186
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 8: Is this another invention, Daddy? No, No, it's not just

187
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 8: another invention. It's the invention.

188
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 4: This is my masterpiece.

189
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 19: You ready, Tella?

190
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 4: Well what is it?

191
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 19: This is our future, girls. It's a refrigerator motor, my

192
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 19: original design, so it will allow fridges to run longer

193
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 19: and more efficiently.

194
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 7: Do you have any other inventions?

195
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 19: This is my masterpiece.

196
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 7: So that's how it started, with a fridge motor. He

197
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 7: took it around the trade show as we tried to

198
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 7: find investors. No one was interested. As far as I

199
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 7: was concerned, it was a hobby, something he tinkered within

200
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 7: the garage. I didn't realize then that.

201
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 8: What didn't you realize, fancis.

202
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 7: That it would lead to the end of everything. Fancy

203
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 7: a cup of tea?

204
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 4: Love?

205
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 5: Oh?

206
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 4: Yes?

207
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 7: One evening we were watching television. The girls were upstairs asleep,

208
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 7: and suddenly Matilda, our dog, began running around in circus bark.

209
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 17: Matilda calmed down.

210
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 4: Helm's got into her eight Until they come here?

211
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 7: You expecting anyone?

212
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 18: It's probably someone collected for some of that.

213
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 4: All right or right? I'm coming.

214
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 17: Uh yeah, hello, there are you? Thomas pol If not,

215
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 17: I've got their own half.

216
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 13: Hi, I'm Frankie.

217
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 12: Hi, Hi, I'm an alcoholic.

218
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 11: Yeah.

219
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 12: I'd been sober, well semi sober, for you know, about

220
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 12: three years, but the last six months have been, uh

221
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 12: been pretty rough on me. You know, I got divorced. Well,

222
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 12: I mean it wasn't consensual, you know. He he left me,

223
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 12: which was probably a good decision on his part because

224
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 12: I'm a complete mess.

225
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 13: But you know, I'm I'm.

226
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 12: Also a fighter.

227
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 13: So here I am Bagels.

228
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 15: I've got bagel, Good morning yesterday.

00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 7: Here you go, duncan Oh?

230
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 14: I stay here?

231
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 4: The best?

232
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 14: Could you remember this extra cream cheese?

233
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 15: Yes, we're all going to have high cholesterol. Now where

234
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 15: is she.

235
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 18: In the back?

236
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 4: Come on?

237
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 15: So, Frankie, how was your date last night?

238
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 4: Oh?

239
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 7: Shit, you forgot Huh?

240
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: Poor guy.

241
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: He'll be fine.

242
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 11: He's a straight man on tender.

243
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 12: He probably had another date lined up right after. Besides,

244
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 12: I'm preoccupied with who Banil?

245
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 11: Frankie, you got to stop thinking about him.

246
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 17: It's over.

247
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 7: No, not Banil.

248
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 12: I was thinking about Matilda, who.

249
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 14: She named the skeleton Matilda?

250
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 15: You name the skeleton Matilda.

251
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 11: It's cute?

252
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 15: Any reason?

253
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 11: Why?

254
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 7: No?

255
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 12: Not really, It's just sort of came to me. Okay,

256
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 12: there she is that's her in the box.

257
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 14: And I still think it's an alien.

258
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 11: Mm hmm. This is.

259
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 13: Wow.

260
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 15: The bones are so thick. See here, the first seven

261
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 15: ribs are completely fused. They're thick as baseball bats. Right,

262
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 15: I've never seen anything like this?

263
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 17: Who is she?

264
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 11: Not she?

265
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 7: They?

266
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 11: Maybe?

267
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 5: Wait?

268
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 7: Two people?

269
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 15: Oh look at the neck here in the conjoin twins

270
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 15: connected like this, just stacked on top of each other,

271
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 15: their organs would be crushed.

272
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 12: I mean, she's not a conjoined twin, she's not a giant.

273
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 7: Who is she?

274
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 15: I don't there is one other possibility? What I have

275
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 15: to call doctor Lee?

276
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 14: Who my boss?

277
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 15: Can you stop by?

278
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 8: Is there a better light back here?

279
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 14: Maybe turn on the overheads they're already on.

280
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 17: Oh maybe it's just my eyes. No, that can't be possible.

281
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 8: No, no, no, no.

282
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 14: Just say it.

283
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 15: Say what it's FOP right?

284
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 8: FOP yes?

285
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 15: Or to use the technical name fibro dysplasia osipicuns progressive.

286
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 17: My god, there's only been a handful of cases.

287
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 12: Really in your whole career.

288
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 17: Ever, and you have no idea where it came from.

289
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 12: No, she was sent here anonymously.

290
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 8: Well I need to know more. Can I take her

291
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 8: back to my office.

292
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 12: No, sorry, it might be helpful, I know, but it

293
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 12: was sent here ESDA to me.

294
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 4: Is this about credit?

295
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 11: Yes?

296
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 12: Actually, I'm the curator of this museum.

297
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 8: Who else has seen it?

298
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 15: Just us break it down for me, Doc, What is FOP?

299
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 14: I mean?

300
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 12: If what you're saying is true, if it's so extremely rare,

301
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 12: then finding the owner of this skeleton shouldn't be too hard, right.

302
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 4: Okay, let's see.

303
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 12: For the next week, I researched every known case of

304
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 12: FOP I could find Harvard Medical Journal, July. It turns

305
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 12: out FOP is an extremely rare genetic disorder that causes

306
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:15,719
Speaker 12: the body's soft tissue to transform permanently into bone. In

307
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,479
Speaker 12: other words, a second skeleton grows on top of the first.

308
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 12: Early doctors posited that it was the result of two

309
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:29,479
Speaker 12: souls trapped in one body. Hi, I'm calling about an

310
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 12: old case of a child with FOP back in the

311
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 12: early seventies in a village called Mattie Carrey. Okay, this

312
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 12: might sound kind of strange, but basically, in nineteen seventy two,

313
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 12: in the small farm town of Mahdi, Care, India, a

314
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 12: boy named ragu Basi Maadra was born with FOP. Some

315
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 12: of the locals worshiped him as the reincarnation of the

316
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 12: god Vishnu. You knew the location of that skeleton at

317
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 12: this time. Sorry, unusual cases, and my apartment slowly transformed

318
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 12: into a science lab. I pinned up pictures of bones

319
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 12: on the wall, surrounded by anatomy textbooks and medical journals.

320
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 12: If someone walked in on me, they'd think I was

321
