18
00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: got one that I uh oh. Last week I was

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: downtown Austin Congress Avenue visiting a local Hanna bar. I

20
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: was talking is it's a well known place for paranormal

21
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: activity out of here in Austin, and I met a

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: young man, a bartender, and I was asking him them

23
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: if he had any ghost stories about the place, and

24
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: he said yes, he did. He told me a few,

25
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: and then he told me something. He said, you know

26
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: when I was there's something still bothers me from when

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: I was a kid. And I said, well, what is that?

28
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: And he said, when I was six years old in

29
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: my bedroom, I saw a dark, shadowy figure that was

30
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: a trench coat and a hat. And I said what

31
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: kind of hat? And he said a little bit of

32
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: a broader rim hat. And I said like a fedora

33
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: and he said yeah, Because what's a fedora? I had

34
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: to describe what a fedora looked like. He said, yeah,

35
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,639
Speaker 1: that's what I saw. And I said, well, what happened

36
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: then to you know that it had come closer to

37
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: He said no, I just stood there and I said,

38
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: as you see its face? And I didn't see its face.

39
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 1: And I said what did you do then? And he said,

40
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: I just pulled the covers up over my head. I said, well,

41
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: of course, I said, I understand that, and he goes

42
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: you know, I've looked all over the place and I

43
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: tried to meet people saw the same thing, and it's

44
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: all over the internet, he told me. I said, well,

45
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: you know, that's curious, I said, because ironically, I have

46
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: not found anything on the internet like that. But you

47
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: just met someone who saw the same thing that you did.

48
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: And I was fourteen years I'm forty seven years old now,

49
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: I was fourteen years old. As in my house, I

50
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: had an old friend of mine that kid I grew

51
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: up with it from across the street. And uh, the

52
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: house is wide open. My parents were gone for the evening,

53
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: which was unusual. The front, the back door open. We

54
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: had screen doors trying to air the place out in

55
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: the summer summertime. And we went back in the old kitchen,

56
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: back towards the back door. We're going to go outside,

57
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: and right on the other side of the screen door,

58
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: we saw the same thing, this dark, shadowy figure. It

59
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: looks like it was wearing a trench coat hat man

60
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,399
Speaker 1: with a hat. Yeah, I've looked it up online. That's

61
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: what I saw. Hollis. We just had her oun last week. Um, well,

62
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: here's the thing. From all the other stories that I

63
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: saw online, I actually saw the face, and the face

64
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: it was a skull. Really, not a lot of people

65
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: see the face. It was. Yeah, well that's what I've

66
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: come to realize over the past week and a half.

67
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was. It was a skeleton. It was

68
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: as far as I coulday. The only part of the

69
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: body I could see was the face. There was a skull,

70
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: and it was wearing a trench coat, and it had

71
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: the Fedora cap on its head, and it just stood there. Yeah.

72
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: And and so I looked at my buddy whom I

73
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: grew up with, and I could see his eyes were

74
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: wide open. He had looked a fear in his face.

75
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: I looked at him, he looked at me, and we

76
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: ran outside through the old house, back to the front

77
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 1: of the house, out the door, back across the road

78
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: to his old house. And we stood there wondering what

79
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. And I had before we before anything else,

80
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, what did you see? I know

81
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: you saw something. I saw your face. And he told

82
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: me what he saw, and I said, well, we saw

83
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: the same thing. I said, I've got to go back

84
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: over there. My house is wide open. I can't just

85
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: leave it like that. My parents will come home kill me.

86
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: And so I said, I'm going to the house and

87
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: you're coming with me? Said no, I'm not. I said,

88
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: yes you are. Were you scared? Terrified? Terrified? And that's

89
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: not the first thing that happened at the house. That's

90
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: another story, but that is that is the time that

91
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: I saw that apparition, whatever that was. When we went

92
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: back into the house, nothing was there. The house was

93
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: still wide open, nothing on behind the back screen door,

94
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: nothing was there. But we did see the same thing.

95
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: And this young man whom I met, it's a particular

96
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,799
Speaker 1: bar in Austin. I was not drinking, by the way.

97
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: I was stout asking questions because I've heard their stories

98
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: about this place. And he told me after all other

99
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: conversations about ghost stories and whatnot, which was entertaining, but

100
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: he told me he had seen the same thing that

101
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: I had. He was six years old when I was fourteen.

102
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: We both saw the same thing. And I got to

103
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: tell you, Jeff, those are some of the earlier stories

104
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: of seeing the hatman. Uh, really early. I mean, that's

105
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:17,839
