We appreciate all the support on those audio listening channels as well. Welcome back to another episode, another creepy, creepy episode of Creepcast. Are you sure you don't want to actually, you know, talk about how this is a stretch and fade episode or perhaps the Cream Crew episode? or no no no and i'll tell you why i'm not going to do that is because today we're doing another creepy grab bag i got to say i'm actually pretty excited because normally hunter's so unsure about what we're going to read he's always like i don't know this is so good what do you think and then he he gets in the call today's like we're we're doing these three videos in this order here's the links read it like i'm like oh yeah came in with a little bit of confidence today i

A little bit. Somebody actually, they suggested this, these three stories on a Reddit post. And it was the disappears of Ashley, Kansas. Oh, wait. One of our audience members suggested this? This is a horrible idea. Yeah.

Well, you know, as good a while since we've done reader suggestions. Actually, we've been doing a lot of them just off of, you know, you know, I know, it's impossible to not talk about one that people haven't probably recommended. But it's been a while since we've specifically looked at a, a post and then read what they suggested. So the three today are the disappearance of Ashley, Kansas, Elish Jack and the Pancake family, which the last two,

the last two sound a little, a little funky, especially Eilish Jack, all right, which as I was saying before we were recording, I feel like Eilish Jack, if I don't get me wrong, dare I say,

I think it's going to be a story about probably a man who visits a child in their bed and just looks at him and it's going to say something like he had no eyes but he stared at me if I was a betting man I have no idea what you're talking about

so far off from what the story actually is you're so stupid right now you look like such an idiot but I want to I want to start with the disappearance of Ashley Kansas because I just love these kinds of names

I really like how this first story is written Written and uploaded by Coaster Kid 93. Yeah, I like roller coasters. It's kind of by, it's kind of by, by jab. It's also funny how enthralled I am by just like the verb of insert woman's name. That apparently is, I'm like, that's a damn good title. Wow.

The feeding of Jessica Bunny or something like that. You would love that if we came across the sort that time. You'd be like, we have to read this. If I saw a story titled, the feeding of Jessica Bunny, would you not be a little bit curious? Well, okay, for one, I would assume it was like a play on Jessica Rabbit, right? I think that's where my mind wanted to go, but I had to pivot last second. I think that's where your mind wanted to go because you were thinking about the word feeding

and then you were like, oh, I'd like to feed her. And then like, you just like your brain implanted image. Yeah, I think that's what happened there. But the feeding of XYZ could be interesting. I get what you mean, though, about, like, the hyper-specific titles, it feels like, I don't know, it feels very direct, you know? I think you're right, too. You're not going to get any of this artsy stuff. It's going to be, it's going to be loud, whatever happens.

It kind of has, I think you're right where it feels like, I get like a police report or some kind of thing. Just feels like it's going to, like, almost like a true crime or paranormal kind of like, ooh, you know, there's like just a level of mystique to it. So I am looking forward to this. It is 12 years ago. So this is prime. Primo, no sleep. uploads time and once again if this all sucks

it is the fault of for one the person who posted this to the subreddit but more importantly Hunter for trusting you that is true I take blame and if it if it does good then it's me for allowing him to do I will accept that as well I'm a chronically unhealthy person

this story. So, on that note, the disappearance of Ashley, Kansas. Sometime during the night of August of 16th, 1952, small town of Ashley, Kansas ceased to exist. All right, I'm in. I thought,

I literally thought it was about just a woman named Ashley Kansas. I thought it was about a girl named Ashley who was from Kansas. Yeah, wow. It's just, that's interesting. A whole town disappearing. Keep going.

I'm, I've immediately interested. Okay. At 3.28 a.m. on August 17th, 1952, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake was measured by the United States Geological Survey. The earthquake itself was felt throughout the state and most of the Midwest. The epicenter was determined to be directly under Ashley, Kansas. When state law enforcement arrived at what should have been the outskirts of the farming community, they found a smoldering, burning fissure in the earth, measuring 1,000 yards in length, and approximately 500 yards in width.

The depth of the fissure was never determined. After 12 days, the statewide and local search for the missing 679 residents of Ashley, Kansas, was called off by the Kansas State Government at 9.15 p.m. on the night of August 29, 1952. All 679 residents were assumed to be dead. At 2.27 a.m. on August 30, 1952, a.m., a.m., a.m., a.m., a.m., a.m., a.m., a.m., a magnitude 7.7. 5 earthquake was measured by the United States Geological Survey. The epicenter was situated under what used to be the location of Ashley, Kansas. The law enforcement investigated at 532 a.m.

They reported that the fissure in the earth had closed. Oh, that's fun. In the eight days leading up to the disappearance of the town and its 679 residents, bizarre and unexplainable events were reported by dozens of residents in Ashley, Kansas, and law enforcement from the surrounding. an area. By the way, that thing we talked about how these titles are indicative of like a police presence of like a very, you know, like a cold true crime feel almost. This reads exactly like a report. Oh, okay. Cool. Okay. Agency or something. So I think that's kind of the vibe we're getting.

On the evening of August 8th, 1952 at 7.13 p.m., a resident by the name of Gabriel Jonathan reported a strange sight in the sky above Ashley. The town at having no official branch of law enforcement, called into the police station of the neighboring town of Hayes. Gabriel reported what appeared to be a, quote, small black opening in the sky, end quote. Within the next 15 minutes, the Hayes police station became overwhelmed with dozens of phone calls all reporting the same phenomenon. The phenomenon was never reported by any neighboring communities. A decision was made to send a trooper to Ashley to investigate the matter the following morning almost like a setup of a uh UFO or kind of like an alien to me is what it feels like a

little bit is the setup i don't think that's what it is necessarily but i feel like if somebody was reporting stuff in like that i you would almost think it's like almost phoenix lights kind of vibe or something where multiple people saw this thing and then they darted away except having it be a small black hole in the skies the black opening in the sky is interesting At 7.54 a.m. on the morning of August 9th, 1952, Hayes Police Officer Alan Mace radioed the Hayes Police Station. He reported that, despite following the one-way road leading into Ashley, he had become lost.

According to his report, the road, quote, continued along its normal path, but somehow ended up back in Hayes, end quote. Officer Mace went on to add that the road never curved or bent in any direction. 9.15 a.m. seven of the town's 10 police cars were sent to investigate the situation, and all members of the team came to the same conclusion. The only road leading into Ashley stopped leading into Ashley, but instead led back to Hayes. Phone calls continue to pour into the Hayes Police station, all reporting that the black opening in the sky continued to grow in size. All callers

were advised to remain inside and do not travel outside unless absolutely necessary. At 877, 17 p.m. Miss Elaine Cantor reported her neighbors. Mr. and Mrs. Milton and their two children, Jeffrey and Brooke, missing. According to Mrs. Cander's phone call, the Milton's attempted to leave town in their family car earlier in the evening. They never returned. Law enforcement officials from Hayes never reported the car or individuals coming up the one-way road. Okay, this goes hard. So the police are trying to get in to Ashley, but the road has become. non-Euclidean, right? Like they pass, they're going straight and then they wind up back where they started over and over. And in the meantime, people who are inside of Ashley trying to

leave don't come back. At 7.38 a.m. on the morning of August 10th, 1952, phone calls from Ashley into the Hayes police station reported that the town was in total darkness. The sun had never risen. At 10.15 a.m. at the request of Hayes law enforcement, a helicopter from Topeka, Kansas, flew over the region in which Ashley, Kansas stood. The town was never observed from the air. At 12.43 p.m. on the afternoon of August 11, 1952,

Ms. Phoebe Daniel Luski called into the Hays police station. She reported that her daughter, Erica, had begun to have conversations with her father who died three years prior in a drunk driving accident. Oh, wow. To add to her concern, Miss Daniel

Luski reported that Erica was attempting to go outside into the dark, to quote, join them. Over the course of the next 12 hours, a reported 329 phone calls were placed into the Hayes police station, all describing similar phenomenon with the children of the town.

I mean, yeah, it almost seems like something otherworldly, almost like a portal to hell is opening or something. So because, like, whenever you have these dead relatives reaching out to these people and manipulating them, do you actually believe that there are the actual people or do you think that they're disguised? Are you talking about within the story or like real life?

Yeah, yeah, and the story. I thought you're like, in real life, do you think the go? What do you think of like? No, no. Like Erica was attempting to go aside into the dark to join them. But it's like, is she being coerced by people pretending to be, you know? Or do you actually think that it's, uh, maybe like ghost of people or spirits of people in that way? I don't have enough info yet to know if this is like malicious or like kind of just.

Well, I guess, I guess just first, first impression. I guess first impression is that the town is going through some kind of like spatial you know thing where maybe like maybe I was right with the boiled one thing that it's like an unholy rapture like on this specific community there is a a the afterlife is creeping in and dragging them in so then under that impression maybe it is actually lost loved ones that's kind of interesting but I could be wrong it could just be stuff trying to tempt them well i don't think that there's ever i'm trying to i'm trying to think if i was if i was a dead if i was a dead man right if i was a dead guy who died in a drunk driving accident

would i talk to what i talked to my daughter erika and be like hey want you to come join me into the darkness hey sweetheart come i don't want to come out here i don't feel like i feel like hey you should stay this sucks you should stay away from me or whatever i mean that that's true that's true, but we also don't know how corrupted you would be. True. Or like whatever, three, because it's obviously like a heavenly presence or whatever. So you've become some corrupted lost soul. The reason I think maybe it's their actual souls is because if this is like an alien

entity or something like that, we know where the story ends. We know that the whole town disappears. So why would they need to like lure kids out of their houses? Because the house and everything else is just going to be like warp drive in a minute anyway. No, I mean, the opening. like the fissure opening up with the earth does have kind of like a mouth of hell kind of you know um yeah just kind of visual vibe to it but i think it's interesting too the helicopter's flying above and it just it can't even see the town it's like almost just

yeah totally enveloped in this like black crack in the sky like a lot from the map yeah yeah the following morning of august 12th 1952 the situation became dire oh it wasn't yeah previous like it became dire people's spirits are coming in there's nothing but blackness outside. I think things are getting kind of serious out there. Hey, uh, yeah, you remember that call we had about that town over with, uh, you know, the, uh, the, looping geometry of the roads and the, uh, the kids

join in their lost souls of in the afterlife. And also people just basically driving into the void if they leave town. Well, that was all fine and dandy, but something happened last night and now we're starting to show concern. Well, let's give it a couple more days and we'll just see what happens. We'll see what goes on there. So anyway, Do you find the typos here also kind of charming? I feel like it's kind of charming. Yeah, it's like it's on a typewriter because you can't go back and, you know,

backspace on the typewriter. I mean, you can X out, but then the mistake's still there. The following morning of August 12th, 1952, the situation became dire. During the middle of the night, all 217 children in the town of Ashley, Kansas disappeared. A reported 421 phone calls replaced into the Hayes Police Department. Unable to be of any useful assistance, Hayes Law enforcement, instructed all callers to remain inside and to avoid any and all attempts at finding the missing children. Man, well, that's, uh, that's decisively not good, I think. Did you imagine that

270 kids just like gone and you've, you're already in like a weird, like eclipse town or whatever? It would definitely feel like it's been night for three days. I would almost just be like, well, they're coming for us next. Like I don't like, I feel like all. hope would, I feel like a lot of hope would be quickly draining from my veins. Like I feel like it would be a lot of acceptance. I feel like after too long. Yeah, the kids disappear and you're like, yeah, that tracks. Yeah, it'd be awesome. It'd be awesome for a couple days. But then you'd be like, it's just kind of a bit weird. Huh? They're all just gone. At 5.19 p.m. on the evening of August 13th, 1952, Ashley elderly man, Scott Luntz reported a growing

distant fire to the south. According to his description, fire seemed to turn the distant black into, quote, bright red and orange seemed to extend high into the sky, unquote. Throughout the rest of the day, calls continued in, stating that the fire, in addition to moving north, now seemed to, quote, come out of the black sky. No fire was ever witnessed by any of the neighboring communities or law enforcement officials. Hmm. So is that trying to insinuate that only he could see it?

No, I think it's saying only people within the town could see it. Okay. Oh, and neighboring communities. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I mean, the more this goes on, the more that I think you're right about it being some kind of hell opening up. Yeah.

Yeah. And it's like maybe the children were spared for it. Like hell's descending on the town, like a Sodom and Gomor thing almost. But the lost loved ones are coming to take the children out of it before it happens. Could be. I mean, Erica, we didn't, I don't think we specifically got how old she was. but she could have been a child, you know? Yeah.

The reports continued until 12.9 a.m. on the morning of August 14th, 1952. The last phone call, placed by Mr. Benjamin Indicott, reported that the fire in the sky had grown so intense that it began to appear as daytime over the town. Phone call ended abruptly. This is from the phone call placed by Benjamin Sherman Indicot. Just hold on. Wait.

Yeah. Yeah, I see something. It's to the south. it looks like... The next phone call wouldn't be placed until the following evening. The following is the entire

transcript of the final phone call to be received by the Hayes Police Department out of the town of Ashley, Kansas. It was placed at 9.46 p.m. on the evening of August 15th, 1952. In this recorded phone call, the officer on duty is Officer Peter Welsh.

The caller has been identified as Miss April Foster. Hayes Police Department, hello? Yes, yes, hello? Ma'am, but who am I speaking with? My name is April. April Foster. Please, sir. Please help me.

What's happening, ma'am? Last night, last night they came back. Ma'am, I need you to... Last night they came back! Ma'am, I'm going to need you to calm down and speak clearly. What happened? Who came back? Everyone. Everyone?

They all came in the fire. What do you mean, everyone? My son... I saw my son last night. He was walking. He was walking down the street. He was burned. Jesus Christ, he was burned.

Ma'am, I died last year. I raised him since he was a baby. It was just me and him. I told him to watch for cars he rode his bike. But he never wanted to listen. Ma'am, what you're saying isn't making any sense. You said everyone came back? But he fucking listened to me.

Everyone! Everyone came back! Everyone who died, or who went missing, they're back, and they're looking for us. He said, Mommy, I'm okay now, see, I can walk again. Where are you, Mommy? I want to see you. Ma'am, where, where are you now? Are you safe? I'm hiding. Just like everyone else, we saw them coming from the fields. Some people opened their doors for them.

God, screaming. I don't know what happened in them. But the houses caught fire, and they caved in. I have my curtains drawn. I have hiding in the closet right now. Ma'am, is everything all right? Are you okay? Ma'am.

Oh, my God! Ma'am! So they just came in! No! Ma'am, stay as quiet as you can't. Don't make a sound. Mommy. Mommy.

He came inside! Dude, there was no way for me to do that. Oh, you were doing so good. You were doing so good. You were killing it. Oh, that was great. Oh, fuck, there's more. That's screaming about, that's screaming about his legs were going, his legs worked or whatever.

You were nailing it. Stay absolutely still. Don't leave. Mommy. Mommy, where are you hiding? I am. This isn't funny. It's all funny, but I need you to stay quiet.

I found you, mommy. Ma'am, ma'am. Ma'am, ma'am. What are they doing to you in there? What the hell's your boy doing? Hello? The following morning at 6.55 a.m., the law enforcement officials of the Hays Police Department arrived at the location of Ashley, Kansas.

You know, for a story about just like basically hell opening up and the dead walking the earth again, it also kind of seems like, yes, they are. I think once again, I think you predicted that right of,

think it is the people but they're just corrupted yeah yeah it's like hell it's like you know the the souls the worst parts of them you know condemned to hellfire whatever and then they've been burnt and stuff like that so um there's one belief i've heard like miss not really christianity this is more like sort of a esoteric extra spiritual belief um that i think's cool is that when you die it's not that you either go to heaven or hell it's that the good part parts of you, the holy parts go to heaven, and the wicked base parts of you go to hell. So you're effectively separated in half. That's fascinating. And then salvation, quote, unquote, is which part your consciousness, your thoughts go with. Sure. You know, which one is more one way or the other.

So it's like everyone that's sent to hell, like sure, it's that person, but it is the evil. It's the bitterness, the part you want to wash out of them. It's almost like this child that's returned is like this part, the evil that's been burning for a year, you know, like come to find her. Yeah, or even just kind of pet cemetery-esque, like, you just come back wrong. You come back evil. Yeah, the ground, the ground's sour. Yeah, yeah. So almost like even if, even if you were a child that like festering hatred, that's probably in every human being has just like, I mean, boiled and marinated over time. I do think too, as the story goes, I think it's, I like that it's all from the afterthought and you get that like one little preamble at the end that gives you just a little

peek in but it doesn't reveal its hand too much because I feel like if the more that you the more you reveal of that the more that I think hell can become very like not scary in a story sense I think that the idea of the mystery of hell and the things that hell can be can obviously be horrifying so I think that it wrote that fine line and it's you know the length of it felt fun too like it felt like just a nice little like a nice passing car i agree it lost me a little bit at the ending uh with the transcript like the call yeah yeah well not the nat like a transcript's fine but more specifically like that mommy where are you at mom like it's like okay i get it yeah yeah yeah because

you can do because it's like not only i think not only were you funny yeah but also it's like i i get it you know i i know that it's like a demon son for me yeah I don't need to be like, Mommy, I see you. That's like I. Yeah, that was creepy in Pet Cemetery like then in the 80s when the ever since then.

Right. I feel like every movie gets one mommy from me before I roll my eyes because I've never met anyone in my fucking life even as a child that's ever said mommy or daddy don't like that already. So to me, I'm like you have like one like oh mommy like you're coercing somebody in. Because it would have been interesting. You're not walking over that one. What do you mean?

you've never heard a child call their mom mommy i have never once heard a child say mommy or daddy never once okay are you have you been around a child have you seen a i wouldn't say a lot i tried to my cousins have children and all i tried to i i'm not a big kid person like i don't like you know like uh i don't know people are like oh they got new baby we got to go i'm not that's not me whatever they're like oh it's his third birthday like none of that don't care for any of that to me I don't even if I had a child maybe you're just a bad person that could be that very well could be the case

all I know is this you could more so what I'm trying to get at to is that you can say the mommy line wants to deceptively try to like lure the person out but then I think it might have been might have been fun to just see that change immediately

so instead of like continuously hitting that kind of child trope of like mommy whatever I see you and try to be creepy that way to me it would have almost been creepier if they would have dropped the child act and I guess took another tone with it yeah I think it works but I think it could have worked better um again I think overall it's a good story I called it from the beginning with like it's like a healthy I think the Sodom and Gamora comparison is accurate like for whatever reason this one specific

town is facing judgment day sooner than everyone else right so it's like the children are taken away Hellfires brought down. I think maybe the story would be a bit more interesting if it leaned into that, like what the sins of the town might have been. I like the idea that the nearby police try to get in and they can't. I like that. The ground was like this giant burnt out hole.

Like the entire thing was purified from the earth. And then the ground just built over it. Almost like it's like hell itself is like cleansing the earth of its like fissure and then moves on. To have a judgment day just be to a certain community is fun.

because I like the idea of you could just be like, oof, what if that happens to us next? Or like, I always enjoy when stories have that when you kind of, you leave the viewer kind of like looking over their shoulder a bit of like,

am I, am I going to be next? Am I the next victim? Like that's, in my opinion, that's always a very strong story. That was fun, though.

The disappearance of Ashley Kansas is at the school. It was fun. I enjoyed it. Any, anything to make you do the mommy. Well, guess what? Here's the next mommy.

The next story is called Isles Jack. I can't wait. I'm still excited. I'm looking and I'm on a creepypasta.com right now looking and what's the first thing I saw above the story is two little paragraphs that I wanted to see to read here. Like many creepy posse characters, there was an ect frastic element. What the fuck does ech frashtick mean?

I've actually never heard that word in my life. That's a made up word. Like many crewpast characters, there was a made up word element to iLish Jack's creation, meaning that the actual story of iLis Jack came after or, was inspired by the image. That story was eventually posted to Creepasta by a username Azel 5,000 on February 25th,

2012, once again, those 2012s, and was presented as a first person account of an encounter with Eilis Jack. Interestingly, the original Creep pasta was removed by its creator in the wake of the original Jeff the killer story being removed. With its author expressing a desire to remove it himself before the admins

of the site could. So I think that anytime we can get Jeff the killer thrown in here, Which I still think, dare I say, is, ah, I don't know if I can say it's the worst one still. I'm still one. No, because Squidward's unaliving or Squidward's. Squidward's really bad.

I almost don't that. Well, that was fun. That was fun bad. You think so? Jeff the killer was just bad. Yeah, Squidward's was great. Do you remember how hard you laugh when he died? I mean, I don't be wrong, but I was laughing pretty hard with Jeff the killer, too,

with the bullies and stuff. I thought all that, I mean, it had a bunch of fun. had a bunch of fun moments. Those are versus I don't know the thing in the basement that was just unbearable.

That was just torturous. Like you laughing was just No, that had good moments too. What are you some kind of monster? No, Monster Hunter, huh?

Like that that's undefeated. I want to come here when they're spooky shit. And trust me, this is some seriously spooky shit. Whatever. You would put that thing

behind 10 locks and keys. Like just, it's such, Such bizarre wording on stuff. But yes, this is by Asl 5,000, aka Thunder slash Joey. I don't know what the hell that means. But this is a very, very short story. So I say, let's just burn through it.

Let's burn through it. And hope the cringe consumes us. I will, I will mention that I have seen this character drawn in. So you don't need to, you don't need to say that. Hello, my name is Mitch I'm here to tell you guys about an experience I had I don't know if it was paranormal

or whatever stupid words people used to describe I don't know it was paranoid or whatever stupid fucking words people use for supernatural phenomenon like ghosts I already love it I'm ready dude

I haven't looked at this story since I was this is once again this has got to be some Primo very edgy like 13 year old Oh yeah Well when I was 12 I'm like this is so good

Yeah this is fucking bad I never liked I never liked Iless Jack that much But I remember it I remember it being like favored in the same way other stuff was like Jeff the killer the image was out there So people made a story around it same with this Don't know if it was paranormal or whatever stupid words People used to describe supernatural phenomena But after that thing visited me

I believe in that paranormal trash now I believe in that paranormal trash That fucking gunk beneath my boot That's stupid idiot stuff Yeah it tried to kill me It tried to eat it tried to eat me alive Actually believe that now I just look the the pod

The comma Yeah the comment is great A week after I moved in with my brother Edwin After my house was foreclosed I finished unpack What's the structure of that sentence A week after I moved in with my brother Edwin when after my house was foreclosed.

What? I finished unpacking. That feels like one of those sentences you would get when you were in the fourth grade, like, correct the sentence. Which part should this place? How old is this person supposed to be that his house was foreclosed?

I don't know. But this is again how a 12 year old about adult stuff. They're like, yeah, just assume that's my dad's house because obviously I, you know, I don't have a house because I'm a kid, you know. But I've heard the word foreclosed in relation to house.

Yeah, I, you know, I, I heard foreclosure and Happy Gilmore, which is my favorite movie of all time. Yeah, we're reading about, it makes it sound like we're reading about a 54-year-old man who's on his third marriage and age job.

So a week anyway, this paranormal stuff started happening. So a week after I moved in with my brother Edwin, who's 63. Yeah, the way you would write that sentence says, a week after my house was foreclosed,

I moved in with my brother Edwin. It doesn't need to be, whatever. Evan liked the idea of me moving in, since we had not seen each other for 10 years. So I was excited, two. The grammar is killing me. So I was excited. Two.

Two. Wait, they haven't seen each other in 10 years. This actually, seriously, might be a 54-year-old and a 63-year-old. It might be. Yeah, how old are these people? My gosh. I soon fell asleep after I moved there. after

the way these are so funny I move in I fell asleep after I moved in it's like yeah you mean you went to bed

there yeah so what you just went to you fell asleep in a house what the fuck like why this is written

by an alien after that first week I heard rustling noises coming from outside at about one in the morning I thought it was a raccoon so I ignored it and tried to fall asleep

the next morning I told Edwin about it and he agreed these commas Hey Hey Edwin Yeah I think I heard a raccoon

You probably did Okay That's right Hey Edwin Yeah there was a noise outside Okay I think it was a raccoon Uh huh do you agree Yeah

Yeah The next night However I thought I heard my window opening and a loud thump as if something entered my room I darted up and looked around my room

but I saw nothing the next morning Edwin dropped his coffee cup when he saw me he held up a nearby mirror and I saw myself I had a large I had a large cash

in my left cheek. Eswin takes off a comically large gothic mirror off his wall and holds it up to his brother. It's like bigger than he has. He's like waddling over. Look at yourself. You have a large gash in your left cheek. These interactions are so alien.

I imagine it's like, oh, hello brother. I haven't seen in 10 years. And then the next morning he's like raccoon. Yeah. And then they don't talk the rest of the day. How do we know this isn't the author of this didn't have the. first version of AI or like a

chat GPT. Because this feels like a story written by AI. Like the way that it's like trying to be human. T would not add this many commas. That is true. It would know that that's wrong. All right. It's true. That's true. So, okay. So to keep in mind, our

protagonist is in the bed and then he hears a thump. And then he's like, oh, nothing's here. And then unknowingly to him, something cut his face open. Yeah. Bad enough to where his brother Edwin had to grab a literal mirror off the wall and after dropping his coffee like shattering it on the ground after i was rushed to the hospital my doctor told me that i must have been sleepwalking but then he showed me something that made

my blood turn cold he lifted up my shirt to reveal a sewn up incision where my kidneys were Isles Jack took his kidneys. Holy shit. He took his kidneys. He took his fucking kidneys. Oh, my God, that's awesome. Oh, God. I like how I was Jack fucking, like, took the guy's kidneys,

but he's like, he's something for you to remember me with. And, like, cut his cheek? For what reason? You already took the guy's kidneys? He took his kidneys and then cut him on the cheek so that he would have a plot element to be scared of before he then goes to the doctor. How did Mitch not wake up during any of this? You have a guy cut this son of a bitch open and Mitch is really like, but he heard a drop in his door.

He heard a thump on the window and he was like, oh my God, what? he's like that's nothing it's probably just one of those raccoons right edwin right he's in an room next door right probably raccoon okay but that is good dude i forgot i thought i had had heard the story so long from what i remember it iless jack just kills you or something right i forgot about the kidney part that's great oh my god oh my god i read the next line i stared into his eyes mind widening you somehow lost your left kidney last night The doctor told me. We don't know how, though.

Sorry, Mitch. That makes the doctor, to be fair, that makes the doctor so suspicious. We don't know how, though. I'm sorry, Mitch. I don't know what happened. Oh, you're missing your kidney. Oh, that's weird. Mitch, anyway.

I don't know what I'm going to tell you. That's so funny. Uh, you're going to want to see this. I'm going to want to probably get they figured out. That's the health care. Do you remember Jeff the killer? Jeff's little brother is like, I stab that kid. The cop's like, well, that's a year in Juvie.

It just takes them straight to jail. I'm the judge and the executioner. You're going to Juvie for one year. This is the health care equivalent of that. You just lost, oh, you lost your kidney last night. Well, that sucks. Sorry about that. Oh, boy.

The next night was my breaking point. Not losing the kidney. No, me, you could take my left. kidney, that's fine, but now you've really started to peeve me off. You've gone too far. Around midnight, I woke up to see a truly horrifying sight.

You know a kid saw this picture. Oh, yeah. And was like, this is so cool. And he just, he wrote this. He wrote this in seven minutes, like the whole thing, right? There's definitely a kid too who doesn't understand the severity of like, he probably heard, yeah, because that's kind of a meme, right?

Oh, yeah, they took my kidneys or whatever. You know, like that was good. Or like the whole thing that like, oh, you get roofied at a bar, wake up with that. Yeah, you're a bathtub full of ice and your kidneys are gone or whatever. Yeah, so he probably saw that in a movie because I'm pretty sure that's in the movie. I know what you did last summer. I'm almost positive. It is.

I think it is. So you probably saw that and he's like, I would have your kidneys. I was fine when you live. So it's like, that's step one in this horrifying process. Yeah, a kid saw that not really realizing like the gravity or what that would imply in the real world and stuff is like, oh, it can take an organ and you can still be a lot. That's cool. That's going into the story. Yeah.

I woke up to see a truly horrifying sight. I was staring face to face with the creature. Here we go. They always used the word creature. It's always a word creature. Never monster thing being presents. It's always the creature. They always say,

do you know the word creature was banned for a while from R slash two sentence horror stories? Really? Because every, yes, because everyone was using the word creature in every story that became a meme. They would just write, they'd write two sentence stories that are like, I felt a weird presence in my house.

It was then that I saw the creature. It was then I saw the creature. I wasn't her shirt so bad. There's a weird person. It was then I saw the creature. People, it became a joke to go on two sentence horror and just like make something dumb with the word creature in it.

Like, I almost felt like Christmas, except I've got no eggnog. Thankfully, I can just milk some more from the creature. The family enjoys their milk at the table. Little do they know it was harvested from my creature.

I like the majority of them are literally just milking some kind of creature. Hey, chef, I called it to the kitchen. My meal began being produced by a creature. Hey, chef. Yes, chef. Okay. Yeah, yeah, you get the idea.

people do let's keep re i just look we're almost done with this we'll get you through well yeah i want to get you done with this fucking eyeless jack bullshit yeah yeah yeah okay so i'm having a great time i was staring face to face with a creature with a black hoodie and dark blue mask with no nose or mouth staring down at me the thing that scared me the most was that it had no eyes that would be the most horrifying part of a person breaking into your room is them having no eyes yeah that would be pretty not wearing a mask that you can't see their eyes. That's the scariest part about all this. Just empty

black sockets. The creature also had some black substance dripping from its sockets. I grabbed a camera from the nearby mantle and took a picture. Immediately after taking the shot, the creature lunged at me and tried to claw open my chest to get to my lungs.

Of course. Natural conclusion. It wants its orchids. It wants its orchids. I stopped it by kicking it in the face. Nice. as I ran out of my room I grabbed my wallet I would need the money

what do you mean you need the money yeah I ran out of my brother's house into the night I eventually ended up in the woods near Edwin's house and tripped on a rock I was like how he left his brother in there with the guy

yeah yeah what a loser like oh I guess I want to need this bus ticket I'm glad he grabbed the wallet you know that's that's something I guess I fell unconscious and woke up in the hospital my doctor the same one who treated me before entered the room I have good news and bad news, Mitch.

The good news is that you had minor injuries and your parents are going to pick you up. The bad news is that your brother has been killed by some thing. Sorry. Yes. Yes. I've got good news.

You're all right. Bad news. Your brother's dead. It's just, it's the fucking has been killed by some thing. So they know what it is. And then he just ends it with sorry. Sorry about that.

The idea of the doctor, just like he's about to go tell him at his brother's dead. And he kicks open the door like, well, it's one of them good news, bad news scenarios. Also, what do you mean you're getting picked up by your parents? I thought this guy was like 40. We have no idea how old this man is. He has a foreclosed house. Had to see his brother 10 years, but his parents are picking him up. It's, we have no idea.

We have no idea. Yeah, we have weird set up stuff that doesn't mean anything, like his house got foreclosed on. Why do you even have to have the foreclosed? Why can't you just be like, yeah, I went to go live with my brother. To say that his house got foreclosed, which is like, I, let's just, let's finish this last paragraph. My parents took me back to Edwin's house to collect my remaining belongings, which I did. Upon entering my room, I was scared, but remained calm. I grabbed my camera and then stopped dead of my tracks. in the hallway leading

to my room I saw Edwin's body what something small line next to it what wait so wait they just left his dead body in the house

they just the cops just left the cops left his body they can't for some reason we don't even know why the police showed up to the house

because he was unconscious outside and Edwin's presumably dead in the house so the cops show up they're like this guy dead. That's weird. So they like take it something did it. So they put him they put his brother in the hospital and leave the body. I'm guessing it's supposed to. I'm guessing it's supposed to be

a crime scene, but we have not, I've not established that at all is what I'm. No, he's actually like it's an empty house that's what I'm that's what it reads as for sure. But I feel like he's probably saying that it's I don't know. Again, this was written by a child. This was written by a child. I saw him's body in something small line next to it. I retrieved it up and entered my parents car, not mentioning Edwin's corpse. Wait, okay. So wait, not mentioning Edwin's court. So they're just like, hey, can you go into Edwin's house even though he's dead? So they

are we under the impression that they don't know that Edwin's dead body's lying there? I guess not. Okay. No one knows, I suppose. I looked at the thing I had picking up and nearly vomited. I was holding my stolen, half-eating kidney. Yes!

Yes! With some black substance on it. Oh, yeah. oh yes yes oh my gosh that's so good oh my gosh he saw he saw his brother's dead body and he says there was a thing there so i just pick it up i don't look at what the thing is i get in the car and i look down at it and it's my kidney half eden that this story hurt me that was great that was so good dude if you it didn't realize his brother's bodies left there

the for some reason the doctor knows that it's there but no one else does and then he goes and he's like oh there's a thing there and he thinks it's like he phrases it like it's a coin or a note yeah and then he's like it was neither of those things at all instead it was an organ my organ so here's here's a couple questions i have one if there was a dead body and there was an organ would you just assume that it's how would you know that it's your kidney okay well just one number one there right right number two is if so in the hospital does the doctor not tell the family that the other son is dead and then also do they just let the is the family so nonchalant how did the doctor know that the how did the doctor know that the other i don't know i have no idea all i know is the family

is like either delusional because they're just like all right we'll be waiting here in the car we'll see just grab your stuff and we'll head on out for this unidentified 15 to 87 year old man hmm wow um that was terrible that might have actually been my least favorite story we've ever read that was dude no how it's so funny yes it's so it's so bad it's good this is like the room of stories it's not like that we've read stories that are just boring you remember the second half of um uh of uh what was the been drowned thing that whole lot that's that's true that's true that's boring. This is memorable. I had a

great time reading this. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Thank God, too. It was, you know what? I'll give it credit. They was short. It was very, very short. It was very short. Dude, that's so funny. I looked down and it was that. I remember being 12 and listening to this story and was like, I never liked it that much, but I didn't remember it being so bad. Oh, that's funny.

It went for my lungs. It clearly reached for my lungs. And then it killed my brother, and then it told the doctor and nobody else. And then it had my half-ean kidney. I think my brother was trying to eat my kidney. It was lunging at me. It wanted my lungs. It was going to steal my lungs. I think, I think realistically, this thing was going to eat my kidney. If I'm being honest, I think I come to the same conclusion. I think I come to the conclusion that it was trying to eat my kidney. Let me to believe that it was going to go for my kidneys and then eventually go for my lungs

and sell it on the black market before dining on it before he sells it. This story has eight at 8.7 out of 10 stars on creepypos. I think that's, I refuse to, those are fixed. Those are Chinese bots that are flooding and giving it. I am being honest. I have seen so much porn of this character We don't talk

Enough! We don't need to talk about that. Because yeah I do. I need to... Someone's got to be my psychiatrist. Back when I was like really in a creepypasta community, I would read all like the fan stories and fans spin-offs and stuff. And a bunch of them were like weirdly sexual

like you know like snuff, like very book talk-esque, right? And then I would be like people would do cool fan art of them. I'd be like, oh, okay, so let me just go search creepy pasta fan art. And then just so much like Rule 34 of Jeff the Killer, Slender Man, Islis Jack. A lot of young people who had a lot of complicated emotions and two good capabilities of drawing. And it just, it just manifested in a bad way.

And there it is. I said we move over to R slash no sleep again. and we we put a nice pen in it today with reading okay first off it says not safe for work so don't know what this entails our audience suggesting a not safe for work story they would never do that I'm just putting that out there we did not like that's what I thought

was going to happen 18 plus it is and this one's called the pancake family very I don't the title honestly it gets you pretty good it feels innocent but it's there's a level of maliciousness to it. Real quick, I need to read a couple more of these two sentence horror stories that I saw while I was searching it. I just, I need to just put this out there. They said the library was

safe and nothing was here. I think about how that was a lie as I sit here, bleeding out from my missing arm. Can you imagine a full two hour podcast with two sentence horrors? Just me and you doing this for two hours three. God, that would be hell. As I, as I, as I, no more I am. No, no. No more As I fell on my bed Can we just Read the pancake family I decided

To go on a tour of the Ikea factory Little did I know That I would find the creature That lays the IKEA Meatballs All right All right

Not safe if we're at the pancake family We're going to give me one more You do that you read it to I'm gonna go grab a Baja blast. No, I have... I'm going, I'm getting a Baja blast! Like, Hunter is so privileged. This guy, he hears Eilish Jack

and he's like, wow, I can't believe. That physically hurt me. It's the worst thing ever hurt. He wasn't in the trenches where I was. Okay, he didn't grow up with like the worst exceiturred. Did he drive to Taco Bell to get a Baja blast? Is that what he made?

I'm coming back. And if there's still a two cities who are being read, I quit. Come on in. have a seat, said the dentist, who invented the electric chair. All right, our slash no sleep, and this is uploaded eight years ago by A.A. Peterson. I don't know what A.A. Peterson, what A.A. stands for, but I'm going to assume it means amazing author. Sure, babe. Whatever you think. Whatever you think is best. I guess it's just between people, someone's being interviewed. So this is kind of another, has another kind of transcripty,

field to it, which should be, uh, should be fun. All right. And again, if this is too mature or weird and stuff, this is Hunter's fault. I take full responsibility. That pale, huh? Man, I bet I look like a ghost. I feel like I've bled out two gallons. What? No, not a scratch.

Sorry to ramble. It's, it's just that I'm, what's the word for it? Um, detached. Strange feeling. Seen it enough times in the field. Sort of figured if I was ever going to experience myself, then I would have experienced it by now. A hell of a thing. I feel like I'm floating outside of my body. Just cut the cord and I'd float away.

Did you see the crime scene? Don't. Don't look at the pictures. Don't even touch the file. You'll thank me. I can't get my knees to stop rattling. Is that why you're holding onto your coffee like that? I'm shaking the table, aren't I?

Hold on a second. Let me back up my chair. There, that's better. we've got to go official now hob can you confirm for the record that you've been waiving your right to an attorney no i'm still not interested in an attorney

i mean i mean yes yes i'm waving my rights sorry and i'm as sound of mind as i'll ever be are you sure yes let the record show that detective hobbson millgate retired

has waived his rights to an attorney i won't need a lawyer after the DA stops puking and considers taking it public. They're not showing that to a jury. Are you ready to begin? No, but I'll talk anyway. What led you to the crime scene on that night in question?

Would you believe I was planning a fishing trip before this started? Never mind. Hold on, I'm thinking. Sorry, just hard to organize it. Never been on this side of the interrogation table before. I guess it started with the reporter, name of bomber. She contacted me a week ago by email and claimed that she had new information on the Driscoll murders. I was the lead investigator, so, you know, the case had gone unsolved for 20 years.

Hold his eyes. Frankly, I thought it was all bullshit at first. You know that can be. most of the time it's not even on purpose it's just that everyone thinks they know something that will crack a case wide open theories are easy when you don't have to check them against any evidence the Driscoll murders were a big story around these parts

and there was lots of interest lots of press over the years I must have gotten a couple hundred shit theories but none of them panned out when I retired I handed the investigation over to Detective Carroll but I didn't want him to be bothered I know he's a busy guy you know with the recent gang activity and whatnot so I figured I'd check it out

as a courtesy I wasn't expecting it to go anywhere I met her for lunch at per year's cafe it's a good looking blonde gal professional so she didn't fit the typical profile of a hoaxer or some conspiracy theorist

not that I put too much faith in profiles but you know she also might have been one of those creepy gals that gets off on death. God knows I've dealt with those too. I still thought she might be pulling my leg, or maybe she had been fooled to, but she had a file with her, and it looked legit.

It contained what appeared to be a confession by the Driscoll. Well, he wasn't a murderer, was he? I do really, like, really wish he had been, though. You know, like, it would have been so much better for everyone if it was that simple. Can you please fill us in on relevant details of the Driscoll case? Ah, let's see.

It would have been 20 years ago now. Thinking of all those years, I mean 20 damn years. That's a long time to be take your time, Hobb. Yeah, yeah, thanks. The Driscolls were a

family of six out in the suburbs, upper middle class. Father was an attorney. Mother ran her own business selling pottery out of the house. Uh, let's see, four children. All high school age or below. They were good kids on a roll. No criminal records of any kind to speak of. Uh, the oldest son was caught smoking dope at his high school once, but nothing much besides that. It's the typical stuff you find when you look at people too closely they disappeared i think it was october 13th 1994 no trace of the bodies uh the mystery and seeing us how it was right around halloween is probably why the press went so crazy um you still see it show up on some of those unsolved mystery shows whole family disappeared and no one saw a thing no one knew where they went

A neighbor logged a sound complaint, which is how we got involved in the first place. There's an alarm going off, and they figured it might be an intruder or something. We dispatched a vehicle. When no one answered the door, the patrolman went in to investigate. So, yeah, there were obvious signs of a struggle in the youngest daughter's bedroom. the bed had been flipped over and the sheets were torn off the alarm was a carbon monoxide detector found elevated concentrations of carbon monoxide in the fabric

of all the bed spreads except the youngest daughters we wouldn't have known to look without the alarm so anyway the neighbor indicated the alarm had been sounding for over a day and he'd been unable to get anyone one to answer the door during that time. We also found several aluminum canisters and some hoses in a dumpster a few blocks away. At the time, we assumed the Driscolls

had been gassed and disposed of at a different location, excepting, of course, the daughter who woke up at the inn and put up a struggle. So, yeah, as you know, the investigation, Gave no leads. So real quick pause. This is saying that all of this, like the disappearance began with the neighbor calling

about an alarm going off, right? Yeah, yep. So that is, so they go, they disappear there when the alarm goes off. There's like a carbon monoxide thing in all the rooms except for the youngest daughters. And then there was never a trace found after that. And that's when it became a big,

true like a unsolved mystery type thing yeah yeah also the the shakiness uh of this officer even in the way that they wrote the text so far do you do you find him to be it do you think he shake it up or do you feel like it's like an unreliable narrator i think he's reliable i think whatever we're going to get to whatever has been discovered recently has like haunted him sure i think that's where it's go I think like, because he keeps being like, well, at the time, it wasn't or like, well, back then we didn't know anything. And he's made that one line that's like, I really wish he just murdered them. Right. The shaking.

Yeah. And the shakiness of his voice of an experienced detective being that, I don't know, shaken and like unprofessional in a situation like this feels like he definitely. I mean, he's talking about 20 years ago when we worked the case. So, you know, he's been working murder cases for 20 years. should think this guy would see everything. And now he's like, man, I wish he was just a murderer. That would make this a lot easier, right? Mm-hmm.

All right. Back into character. Of course, our first thought was that the father did it. We checked it out, but he didn't have any kind of motive. No leads to follow up on. Same with mom. Surviving family checked out clean two. Father had a few clients who,

might have had motive but the means weren't there. Uh, he was a divorce lawyer, but not for anybody who could have taken out an entire family without leaving evidence. There's a chemistry teacher who lived three blocks away and we investigated him for a while because of the canisters, but, uh, he alibied out. So, clean there. Same with the dentist who lived nearby. The wife had an online flirtation, some kid out in England, uh, but nothing indulged. and he wasn't even in the country at the time of the murder so that's out we settled unhappily on the idea of a random killing uh hardest pieces of shit to catch when there's no pattern like that you know it's just one and done uh we must have sunk tens of thousands of man hours into this case

chasing down leads but yeah yeah nothing nothing ever came of any of it um we did track down the canisters they were stolen from a laboratory about 10 miles away there was no security footage we couldn't find any leads on the thief and after six months with no repeat attacks the investigation went cold so the driscolls had been knocked out and abducted like I said no one ever found the bodies

who was to say they hadn't just you know run off until well well you know I'd rather only talk about that once what could you tell us about how the confession wound up with Miss Bonner

well she'd been following the case for some years both personally and as a reporter like I said it captured the imagination of a whole lot of people even seemingly normal folks thought it could have been aliens goes demons or you know whatever miss bomber published a retrospective on the murders given the

20 year anniversary it caused a sort of renewed interest which happened from time to time as usual i declined to comment citing you know lack of new evidence what i have to say i remembered her asking for my quote though which is why i accepted the lunch meeting publication of the article, Miss Bomber claimed that she had been sent a file. She wished to have me authenticate. The most pertinent part of the file

was confession. I assured Ms. Bomber that such a false documents are not uncommon, especially on alter cases like this, you know, and that I personally heard two dozen confessions of the Driscoll murders. You know, kind of just becomes standard fare at some point.

But she was insistent. Once I felt she wasn't trying to pull off a hoax or, you know, she wasn't getting off on the idea of talking about a murder. Um, I agreed to the meeting. So she stated that the confession had been mailed to her in the same envelope she showed to me when we met for lunch. Can you describe its content? Yeah, um, old newspaper clippings outlining the progress of my investigation.

They seemed appropriately yellowed, so I guess they were, you know, from the trophy book of the perpetrator. There were also six photos alleging to be of the individual members of the Driscoll family, as well as several other photos of the facility where they had been taken. Look at that. My hands won't stop shaking. see um i'm trying as hard as i can and i just i can't make it happen um i'll i'll have to ask the the paramedic for a sedative i guess when i'm done with the statement um i don't think i'm going to sleep otherwise uh uh no no i'm i'm fine i'm fine for now um i don't want anything

to interfere with my recollection don't want to mess with the recording and all uh i'm fine but uh just carrying it around in my head is like uh uh sorry sorry i'll stay focused um yeah so the photos uh were of the driscoll family of course at the time i didn't know that uh the photos had aged poorly and they they could have been of anyone um it was hard to distinguish features however given the elaborate nature of the file

I figured it did warrant further look after the confession letter well it was brief gave an address that's the first thing I noticed I couldn't locate the address online which meant it had to be old

the confession letter said stop printing lies never killed anyone just took a while to get them ready for breakfast and there was no signature. Oh, I just remembered something. Damn it. Yeah, yeah, that's right.

We got sent a breakfast menu a month after the disappearance. Someone had drawn a red circle around a picture of pancakes. Yeah, the letter said, they're not dead. They're getting ready for breakfast. We put it in the junk lead file. Damn it. We, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Getting ready for breakfast. Detective Millgate, do you need a moment? Oh, my God. I mean, how could I have known, you know? We tried to track down that menu. You know, we could never find out where to come from. So it wasn't any place local, and any of the identifying information

we could use track down where the menu came from had been cut out. So, you know, I don't know, if we did have, And I don't know what else could have been done. I just, uh, God, I, I, I, I, I, yeah. Why did you decide to personally investigate the location mentioned in the letter? Um, sorry. Um, I, I, I, I wanted to make sure that it wasn't a hoax. I still wasn't convinced.

I had 20 years of people sending me fake evidence. Um, I, I, I, I, I, I, maybe the case kind of captured my imagination too you know um i always figured one day i'd think of something that i'd overlooked and i'd solve the whole thing but uh i felt i felt unbelievable to have someone dumped the answer in my lap i needed to see it with my own two eyes so yeah miss barmer had pinpointed the location uh with city records but but neither of us was sure if it was still there. So it was an abandoned, an abandoned industrial building.

Last time it had a valid mailing address. It was 50 years ago. So that tracks on the address from the confession. It might have caved in for all we knew. I think I also wanted to be the one to crack it, you know, whether or not it was dumped into my lap. That case hung over my head for, 20 years

Miss Bomber and I agreed to meet there on the following morning Can you describe the crime scene? Yeah, yeah, so it was an industrial building as I stated

approximately 100, 120 feet long maybe 40, 45 feet wide it was a wooden structure and at first the condition seemed to match the neighboring buildings however I noticed

that the facade of it had been recently patched in a few locations further investigation also revealed that the entrance to it had been chained and locked and uh but my understanding was that it used to be a sheet metal shop at least

I'm sorry excuse me is there a garbage can I think I'm going to throw up yeah thank you we bleh whatever

gagging noises yeah yeah yeah hunter could you throw up on demand for me I'd be appreciated that'd be so funny if I was like just projectile all over stuff thanks Hunter appreciate you

sorry Um, I thought I was empty. Um, no, I want to get this done with. Uh, then I'm going to want that sedative. Uh, I could smell something from inside the building. Uh, very faintly. I figured that would count as probable cause. Not that I need it as a civilian, but you never forget the way that a corpse smells, you know? Uh, they were, they were bad enough that they had that same smell like a corpse that is um i i had to forgotten how to pick a lock so i let myself inside you know i really i really do wish that they had just been corpses um and i and i really like i said earlier i really do wish that he had been a serial killer i i do please say that you please say you believe me

I do I do can you describe the interior of the building yeah I'm sorry I'm sorry yeah I'm trying to focus through this I apologize I'm sorry I am

it's just that I'd like to go asleep after this for a really long time is that paramed Is that paramedic here is, does he have a sedative ready? Okay, thank goodness. Okay, so get through it, get through it, get through it.

Um, the warehouse had not been as abandoned as we were previously led to believe. Um, the interior had a hallway, uh, and in this hallway there was like, uh, there was six rooms. And, uh, the construction was old, but visibly new. than the rest of the building so sort of an addition the walls between each room had been soundproofed so there were no windows to the outside or doorways between the rooms themselves so the only access was through the hallway none of the rooms could get to each other see each other hear each other um i tried to make miss balmer leave at that point because you see

the smell was stronger inside and you could feel it the smell it was like a grit stuck in your nose it's like it's like feeling it's like sand

like grits of sand all over your skin the rooms the rooms contained presses hydraulic presses they were four foot by eight foot these like custom presses I couldn't figure out what they were at first because they were hovering over what looked like

hospital beds so there were IV bags in each room as well as other medical equipment that's how that's how we kept them alive for so long of course I think I've kind of seen

I think I'm starting to see black spots right now Do you need to take a break or The idea of having to start this again Is worse than the idea of finishing it Then please describe your next course of action The building was obviously an active crime scene I had no doubt at this point I was in the layer of what

I believe to be what I thought was a serial killer. I tried to tell Ms. Bomber to leave several times. She refused on the grounds that it would not be right to leave me on my own. There wasn't much to make an issue out of it. My opinion of her was that she was a bit nosy, but basically all right. And I didn't think she should be a liability if she stayed out of my way. so i had to make i had to make a judgment call as to whether or not i should proceed on my own case of family was somehow you know impossibly still alive and perhaps in danger or if i should

leave and call for backup uh i told my wife where i was going previously so i knew my absence would be noted and reported if the worst were to happen uh and neither of us could get cell phone reception i'm sorry i'm i'm rambling again um it was then that i heard i mean really really it wasn't even a gasp it was like a gasp but not really you know if i don't want to describe it any more than that uh there was a sound i'll say that it drew my attention further on and i had to act and that's all that matters there were some stairs at the very far end of the warehouse descending to a basement i told miss bomber to remain behind and pulled my service revolver

uh i had a flashlight on my person as well and turned it on as i descended into the basement the basement had been hand dug uh maybe even over the course of the entire 20-year disappearance for all I know. I don't know. The floor was dirt and there was a tunnel that retreated back far enough that it had to be supported with struts at intervals. So yeah, then my flashlight, when my flashlight first illuminated the stack, I wish they'd been dead. I wish he'd been a serial killer. Please take a moment. After, uh, after I recovered my first thought, uh, my first thought was, honestly, it was,

I thank God that they're dead. Um, uh, I'm, I'm 64 years old for, for God's sakes. Uh, I'm not, I'm not a young man who can forget things anymore like I used to. you know uh when you're young you have this sense that you're you're like invincible and you're you're never going to die i don't have that to protect me anymore um i mean look at me whining um when they had that done to them um it's my fault i should i should have found them save them i don't know i don't know how somehow anyhow i'm sorry hob i'm sorry i've got to ask describe the scene? Yeah, yeah.

I can. I didn't know what I was looking at at first. I mean, hell, I still don't. It was, well, it was a stack. Maybe two feet thick. From the stink and the coloring, it was obviously made of flesh. I thought maybe he had had.

them up, you know, I didn't like stack them up in pieces like that. That would have been bad enough, but the first thing that alerted me to the truth was the eye, the eyeball. On top of the stack was a perfectly round eye in the middle of a socket that had been distorted to the size of a saucer. uh that's why i realized what i was looking at uh 20 years of torture basically is uh is what i was looking at uh he had the entire driscoll family under those presses for 20 years he was keeping them alive on an iv drip increasing the pressure on them so so very slowly that their bodies had time to adapt until they had been flattened

like well I mean like pancakes um he squished them by about a quarter inch every year for 20 years then he had he pulled them out when they were too broken

wretched to move without any chance of recovery and then he just stacked them on top of each other I have I don't know I have no idea of four I don't think I I don't want to know what four and I was still thinking

thank God they're all dead when the one on top started gasping again what did they say well they didn't say anything at first nothing at first it couldn't speak without help I think

it I think it would have been Avery Driscoll not that I could tell much about the gender or the age but the hair was blonde where there was hair at least the head was a mess of scars I think the son of the bitch who did it must have removed parts of their skulls

um i've got no idea how he got their heads so flat otherwise you know um not as flat as the rest of the bodies sure but but flat who they'll knows how their brains handled that um their lips were like they were punctured

by their own teeth everywhere after the presses had flattened out their noses I guess uh avery was 14 when she disappeared I've stopped shaking

wow that's damn weird you know the way our bodies work isn't it what else there was a machine it was a sort of pump I followed a hose with my flashlight

and realized everyone in the stack was hooked up to that pump don't think they could breathe on their own, you know, not after a while. There simply wasn't enough volume for their lungs to inflate. There was some sort of opening cut right into each of their chest, and there was a switch on the pump. I don't know why I pressed it. I was in a panic. I wanted to do something. Maybe some stupid part of me thought that if I switched it on, they would inflate and be okay, you know. So I switched it, and it increased the volume of air to the topmost hose.

And I could hear the pump working harder, which is when Avery started to scream. He begged me to kill him. um he said other things too he didn't he didn't make much sense he kept yelling pain of error over and over again something about uh the family too didn't understand it uh he was in pain and i hope or at least i would hope that he had gone insane several years previously yeah uh yeah my thoughts exactly funny enough um i mean i didn't know what to do uh he wouldn't stop screaming

i i think he was convinced i was his torture uh a look a closer look at his eye revealed that it was mostly a mess of white scar tissue he was blind as a bat uh you know that that thing quit working a while ago. You know, I spoke with some burn victims once and they told me that they managed to find meaning and purpose again after a while. And that makes sense for them. I get it. But I don't know how anyone in the Driscoll family could have done that. You know, uh, I said my name. I told him I was a detective. I told him I was there to help. I repeated it over and over again, knowing of course that there was nothing that anyone anywhere could do to help this bomber arrived um she was drawn by the sound before she saw the stack she told me that i had screamed and she had come to help but i don't

remember having done that um but nevertheless she had arrived so i must have um then she saw the stack and screamed but i was intent i was like looking at avery driscoll uh and he he was able to hear so he became lucid for a few moments and it was a strain to understand what he said but um i'll never forget what what i think he said you know he said um something to the effect of please kill me it hurts i don't want to be a monster kill me kill me tell my family i died long time ago, uh, I don't know if they're still looking for me. Don't let them know what happened to me. Please kill me.

Uh, he could still cry somehow. And he did. Uh, although his tear ducks were, um, they were too deformed for it to be noticeable, but I knew, I knew what he was doing. Uh, I, I should have forced Miss Bomber to leave that's the only action in the matter which I regret more than failing

to solve the case you know 20 years ago not just for her own sake but you know what she did next I don't think she could have wounded them any more deeply if she tried

she she took away the last comfort any of them in the stack had so you see they had not been able to speak to one another for 20 years and so she looks at them and she

says that's all of them isn't it that's the entire Driscoll family they're all alive and they're the whole family so for 20 years to understand why that meant so much for 20 years each member of the Driscoll family had been

unaware that their fellow inmates were the other members of the family. You know, the, so, yeah, they were blind,

like I mentioned, uh, weren't, they couldn't hear each other. So they'd all been holding out hope that their family was okay. All of them probably dreaming someone out there, you know, love them and was free from suffering.

Uh, do you know what the screams of six people tortured over two decades? Smash down to a width of four inches. Sounds like when they're all stacked on top of one another. it's i'll tell you what sounds like it sounds like the gates of hell swinging open i think that's enough detective mill gate well not not yet actually um so it it was my mistake uh i should have tried harder you know uh i tracked down that lead maybe that's what they met you know screaming that uh it was my air so it was my responsibility

I did the only thing I could do to help them at this point. Uh, I shot them. Uh, mercy's hard, but I owed it to them. Uh, I'm, I'm the one that failed to save them. So, it only took one bullet, you know, to go all the way through. Uh, I, I emptied the revolver, though, you know. I, I wanted to make sure they didn't linger another second. They didn't have to.

uh, to, you know, to give him that final piece. It was the only kindness I had to give him. So we left and, uh, we called for back up after that. Uh, neither Miss Bomber nor I wish to remain with the bodies. I like to not to follow, uh, the crime scene investigators back into the basement. Uh, I asked if I could make my statement and leave and after one of them saw what I had seen, they agreed. Uh, that, That's sedative I talked about. Can I have that now?

Yes. Yes, of course. Okay, all right, cool. Thank you. Please show, please show in the paramedic. I'll roll up my sleeve. My wife's diabetic, so I'm well aware of the routine. Oh, please make sure you have the same courtesy available for Miss Bomber. She seemed to have it worse than me afterwards at least. that poor woman couldn't even throw up or cry

of course do you know where she is now she told the lead of the crime since she was going home but we haven't been able to reach her well did you try the paper which paper her paper her paper the

uh the daily world are you sure there's no one's last name bomber on staff with the daily world and with that we have the end of the story so bomber was the one who did it you think huh I think that's the implication or she was like an accomplice or something like that

yeah her last name was bane oh oh oh oh oh oh bomber yeah what was it bane of air bomber bane of air bomber yeah yeah yeah didn't put it together maybe that's just why I read in the comments there what did you think of that one uh it was fun I enjoyed reading

a lot of detective stuff today a lot of like transfers back and forth a lot of detect yeah yeah a lot of that and iless jack that and iless jack which you can't even you can't put a price on gold you can't see now now you're getting it how do i feel about that one i think it's i think it's it has an interesting i think it i mean it was i liked it i think that it's fun to have the people pressed together like a weird pancake thing i even though yeah i have no idea what you you would get. I don't know what you would get out of that. It's kind of like a weird torture or whatever, but maybe a bit more of the investigative side or maybe even it would have it not be a transcript and just be like a log or something like you're

following the person on the first time of this, you know, which I know that it sets up the kind of the very creepy pasta ending of you have the person being like, but there is no person named this at the daily world. Yeah, it's a pretty, the endings kind of. kind of like stereotypical. I can't tell you how many creepy posses I've read that have ended like, oh, what do you mean? That was my best friend Clay and they're like, Clay's been dead for 14 years. Yeah. What? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, it kind of does that. So I'm not crazy about that. The idea of hydro hydraulic. It's kind of the same thing, the same complaint I have with jigsaw. Where it's like, yeah, you're an engineer, but how the hell do you have the money or resources to

like set up these elaborate things? Like, and jigsaw or saw the movie saw it's like how many industrial park places are abandoned for you to set up these crazy traps and with this it's kind of like how did they set up i mean what was the dimensions again it was like six feet by eight feet like huge massive i mean it's a human pancake press it's a hydraulic press which once again for the story it's fiction whenever you know you can have the suspension of belief but still i'm just like who who has this the resources to do that. I felt,

so I was actually kind of laughing a bit leading up to, because I could tell, like, where he was going. As soon as he said, stack. I knew. Yeah, I looked at the camera like, okay. I was starting to giggle a bit. It wasn't as bad as I thought of it. I thought they were going to be, like, completely formed

pancakes. I thought somebody was going to be eating them or like cannibalism. Because the whole thing, too, is like, oh, they're getting ready for breakfast. It's like, just because you squash somebody like a pancake. I guess it's, because then it makes it seem like the person has like a pancake fetish because they even send them a menu it's like

you can squash somebody that doesn't mean like they're a pancake like what the fuck? There's also questions where he's like yeah yeah someone can be flat but like pancakes a bit an exaggeration I mean I get it but whatever but what he was talking about he saw the stack I thought they were going to be perfectly formed pancakes stuff so that's why I was laughing

a bit but thankfully thankfully there was some level of trying to incorporate biology like they have a machine for their lungs they're blind I mean like the body horror aspect of it is like that that works kind of well that there's some thought given to the logistics of it but that being said

it to me it falls into the worst category where it's not totally incompetent and stupid to be really funny but it doesn't leave enough lasting impression to where like I feel like it's it's just kind of forgettable yeah there's not there's not really a narrative or anything like I said I had fun reading it but there's not really a narrative.

It's just kind of like, oh, here's a bad thing that happened. And then you are like taken, like, isn't this disturbing, be disturbed. And you're like, oh, I mean, I guess if I saw this in real life, that'd be pretty bad. But I'm reading about it. And that, but if that, if it doesn't catch you, it's like, this is so disturbing. Yeah, then it just falls through. It's just a guy describing something he saw for a while. It's honestly, you haven't seen this yet.

But for the audience, it's honestly like urban spook. a lot of that work. I have the same critiques about this that I do that. Like, if it doesn't get you as being so like, oh, this is awful, then you're not, it's not going to do anything for you. Yeah.

I liked the writing in some parts. Yeah, I thought it was fine. I think that was nice. I think some of the dialogue was a bit like him continuously for the sedatives. I thought was a bit overplayed. Yeah, it's like,

it's like, what do you mean? You went to do an investigation and you're like, does a paramedic have sedatives or whatever? It's like, that's kind of weird. which I get it it's like the guy's shaking up but I feel like there's other ways you can go about it

I mean like all in all I'm finding more and more though I really like these detective kind of like I like the idea of somebody actually trying to uncover something and like it's somebody's duty and job

like that's always a fun that's always like a fun way to play with a narrative in my opinion so I I would be interested to see more of these and it's nice too

that's not like it's not a kid or it's not like it doesn't come from this perspective of like a teenager and like, you know, kind of like a, like a cat, like a group of kids or something that are dealing with something kind of like it or, you know, like Barasca, that kind of stuff. I kind of like the idea of it being like an older investigator. It's just that it felt

different in that way from some of the other stuff we've read at least. It felt unique in that way. It's kind of just a description of a thing that happened. And if that descriptor is not super intense over the top spooky to you, then it's kind of whatever. But, But if, basically, if you really like this story because you found the whole human squish concept scary or like creepy, then, you know, I totally understand. But for me, whenever he's like, oh, I walked in, I knew where he was going where he's like, none of the rooms could hear each other. And then there was a press above a hospital bed.

I like, pause for a second. I'm like, there's no way. Yeah. Well, it's just like, you know, six feet by eight feet wide hydraulic press. I mean, do you understand the engineering, like how crazy big that fucking thing would also the whole thing too this is like an auto manufacturer level of scale you're keeping them alive through

an IV drip it's the the problem is it's funny enough actually when I was reading this because I was kind of like like okay this is where we're going it was kind of the same critiques I had with that movie long legs where it was like you introduce an interesting

watch your mouth watch your toe you introduce an interesting element through this investigation right of like a crime but you really don't do anything that's earned through investigating it. The same thing with long legs of like the person just drops off the code to be like, hey, here, decipher this now

because it's time. It's the same thing of like, oh, the killer just kind of shows up to the detective and is like, hey, I have some leads. And it feels, like nothing feels earned. And then it's just like the shock value aspect of it for the sake of shock value. And I think that's like the really integral part

of like if you do a, a kind of like detective, kind of crime thriller is you have to have like the the fun stuff of the fun visuals but then you need to have an interesting actual interesting investigation kind of like seven or signs of the lambs to where you're watching these reporters go through or detectives really go through the ringer of unveiling these things that leads to a very finite uh satisfying conclusion that also acts as like a character arc for them as well is it's just kind of the thing which to be fair it's a short internet horror story. It is what it is. But I just think it's interesting because I do think that this could be done in a really sweet way. Maybe not pressing people into pancakes for just the sake of them being pancakes. But even just the idea of the like it's horrifying thinking people are being abducted and tortured for 20 years. That's like disgusting. What was the not safe for work tag on that? I'm guessing it's the I'm guessing it's the yeah. I'm guessing it's the the the very graphic

detail of how they're pressed and stuff because there was some elements of like mutilation and stuff nothing as crazy as we've seen but i wonder if they're just being safe or like you know better safe and sorry yeah yeah i think you're right so all and although i want to say too i think that you did a great job with the voice acting of that guy like a very shaky thing i thought that you did a really good job oh thank you thank you yeah i thought i figured might as well have fun with it right it got hard to keep that guy i really wanted to break when he was like i heard a couple times and i was try not to derail it either but I was like yeah let's just keep the pace going so I'm glad you didn't break but no I'm curious to see what people think to I do think um I like the first

story a lot I think that was the highlight of today besides obviously eyeless jack being very funny but I was my highlight but I think like the disappearance of Ashley Kansas is uh just a fun concept didn't go too far I think that you could like with that thing it's like almost if it was a movie or something that would be a really fun movie to watch something like that kind of I don't I don't know why, but it had elements of like the bay of like those like time like time unfolding in a way through footage that is found like found footage

I could see the disappearance of Ashley Kansas being something similar. Yeah, I like it. That was pretty. I think that was the best story we read today. But my favorite was Iless Jack. Yeah. Oh, also I just want to say too. It was my kidney.

Just want to say the last thing we recorded, we didn't know what our tickets were like the ticket, the tour sold out like almost instantly so we're looking forward to seeing all you guys we got some fun stuff playing i think there's like what 60 seats left across all i think across ga but i don't know i've been seeing people i i i don't know even by this time it could be totally totally but it's basically sold out so we appreciate you i've been seeing people try to fucking do scalping tickets incredibly cool yes i'm blown away by that thank you guys very yes it means a lot but until next

time y'all we appreciate you stay very very scared out there and also be sure to say send some stories or give us any stuff that you might want us to read. This was a fun one. I think this was a good little thread of suggestion. So we appreciate it. It was a good mix up. And yep, thank you all very much for watching. Thank you all so much for the support. You've shown on everything from the merch to the tickets. It really does mean the world. So thank you all. But with that, I think we're done. So stay creeped out. Stay creeped, you stupid sons of bitches. How's that? Is that going? Okay. Well, maybe that's a bit much. Stay's creeped, you assholes. That's still a bit violent. You fucking vile dogs.

How about stay, stay spooky, you bunch of dorks. Stay, stay spooky, you creeps. There you go. There you go. Bye.
