Starting point is 00:00:01 My name is Andrew Small and I'm a police officer in what has to be the single bizarrest most otherworldly place on the face of the earth. A small town in the middle of nowhere called Junction Falls. Here are a few of our strangest cases. Annual mystery screenings in the Westbrook Drive-In June 15th, 2006 was a fairly quiet night, right up until around 9.30. Then all hell broke loose. We got calls from no fewer than two dozen livid homeowners who all claimed that they couldn't sleep
Starting point is 00:00:36 because a film had begun to play in the old Westbrook drive-in. Now, that immediately gave us pause because the Westbrook had been closed down ever since the multiplex had forced it out of business in 1979. So, any screening there was obviously unauthorised. When we arrived, so bad it's good, sci-fi-slash-horror B movie from 1956 called
Starting point is 00:00:59 it came from Mars, was indeed playing at full brightness and volume. But we never did find anyone at the lot who could have been responsible. In fact, the only thing there was a single, red, 1950, Crosley Station Wagon, also empty, sitting in Space 21B. But we figured we'd find who put it there and started the film later on. For now, we needed to shut down the movie before all the locals started a riot in the bathrobes and slippers. Now, this is where things get wild. We looked everywhere.
Starting point is 00:01:34 In the operations booth, in the old dilapidated concession stand, in that old car, and in any nearby trees tall enough to have an unobstructed line of sight to the screen. But no sound or projection equipment could be found anywhere within a mile radius of the lot. As far as we could tell, the film was playing completely on its own. Luckily, the lot plunged back into its natural. dark, silent state, the second the movie finished. The Crosley wagon vanished too. But that only left us frustrated and confused. After that, at least, nothing else interesting happened at the Westbrook for a good while. The so-called mystery screening case started to get
Starting point is 00:02:16 buried under more pressing work, and, as the months dragged on, we began to forget about it entirely. But then, at exactly 9.30pm on July 15, 2007, the screening began anew, and the same events, more or less, repeated themselves. Angry locals, an empty lot, the Crosdy station wagon in Space 21B, and an exhaustive, but ultimately fruitless search for the responsible individuals and offending equipment. We were pulling our hair out, and it didn't stop there either. the next July 15th, same thing, and it happened again the next year, and the one after that, and the one after that, and it's happening every year since. July 15th, 9.30, it came from Mars, Red Crossley, boom, clockwork. As of this posting, we still have no idea how the film is being shown in the absence of projection or sound equipment,
Starting point is 00:03:16 but we have discovered some other things about the film since the case began. It came from Mars was financed entirely by a man named Bill Booth, who also wrote, directed, and starred in the film as his protagonist, Jack Burnley, and who believed the film would launch his Hollywood career. However, production was plagued with setbacks, almost from the beginning. Costs ballooned, two actors and the chief editor quit halfway through, thus forcing an inexperienced Booth to edit the film himself, something that he clearly had no business doing, if the final results is any of the end. indication, when he paid the rest of his family savings to the Westbrook Drive and Theatre to hold the movie's premiere on July 15, 1956. Sadly though, it came from Mars, received overwhelmingly negative reviews from a few critics who attended their own screening, and Booth attended the official premiere alone, as the
Starting point is 00:04:11 cast and crew were too embarrassed to be associated with it. Then Booth's wife left him the following month due to their declining financial situation. Humiliated, painless and alone, Bill Booth drove his red, 1950 Crosley station wagon to the Westbrook, parked once again in space 21B, and shot himself in the mouth, and forgotten off-Hollywood tragedy. Now obviously, none of this explains the physics of how a film could play on its own, or how an old car can appear and vanish the same way that Crosley does every July 15th. So officially, the case remains unsolved. But, when the above details were first reported by the Junction Falls Dispatch in April of this year,
Starting point is 00:04:57 the story of what many assumed to be that of an old filmmaker's ghost caused the sensation. And, on July 15th, 349 people came and joined a red, 1950 Crosley station wagon in watching this stupid, tacky, low-budget, wonderful film. Status? Unsolved. The Screaming House Well before I joined the JFPD in 2005 A large, abandoned two-story house in the Shelby neighborhood
Starting point is 00:05:30 had already carved out for itself a rather macabreputation You see, at random times during the night You can hear shrill and desperate screams and cries for help seemingly coming from a woman trapped inside The department dispatched the unit to investigate Bizarrely though the officers were unable to locate a trapped woman because the screams themselves
Starting point is 00:05:54 always seemed to be coming from a part of the house that nobody was in or near. When the screaming came from the master bedroom upstairs, the officers charged up to the second story and entered that room, only to find it empty and that the screaming could now be heard coming from the kitchen. So they went to the kitchen
Starting point is 00:06:11 only to discover the sounds were now coming up from the cellar. And when they went to the cellar, they realized they could hear it, once again, coming from the vicinity, of the master bedroom. No matter where they were, the screams and cries
Starting point is 00:06:24 were always coming from someplace else. Eventually they called for backup, but even with each room covered by an officer, the team couldn't seem to find the source, isolate the screams, or even reach a consensus as to where it was coming from. They never did find that woman either, and each of the six men and three women who were there
Starting point is 00:06:44 suffered at least moderate psychological damage as a result from the experience. As far as the howls and wise, the leading official theory, at least in regards to the bouncing sound phenomenon, is that there is some subtle trick of architecture that is wreaking havoc on the acoustics inside the structure. Not sure if anyone buys that, but at least they're trying. But no one, no one can explain the source of the screams to begin with. No woman has ever been found inside, and would never have survived as long as the screams have now lasted anyway. priests have given it the all clear as far as potential demonic activity and the man who built and later sold the house
Starting point is 00:07:25 assures us he is as horrified as we are and most certainly did not build the place with any abnormalities that would mess with the acoustics let alone with hidden compartments that might have housed a captive woman the official position of the JFPD don't go in or near that place it still makes those sounds and we're no closer to figuring it out than we were years ago. Status.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Unsolved. Mr. Mysteries Travelling Circus and Extravaganza. Sometimes we'll have two cases that end up being connected down the road by a single cause and solution. This particular time, the two cases were, one, a string of disappearances affecting the local homeless population. And two, reports of, and I'm not kidding here, a clown that was allegedly attempting to lure people into the
Starting point is 00:08:19 woods. For obvious reasons, we took the former case more seriously. But then, a few weeks into the investigations, a local business owner came by the precinct and delivered to us the previous night's security camera footage, which showed a drugged-up homeless man being led off towards the woods by, you guessed it, a post-Volderville jester with a ruffled collar and a skip in his step. Eventually, we traced that particular vanishing to a small shack in the woods beyond the outskirts of town and kicked in the door to find a scene of spectacular and breathtaking
Starting point is 00:08:53 brutality. All six of the homeless men who'd been reported missing, including the one from the footage, were not only dead, but mutilated, burnt and twisted, hairless and diseased and disfigured. They had all been experimented on too. One man had his limbs amputated
Starting point is 00:09:13 and each one could be found sewn to the backs and sides of four other men who had. like him, died of infections. The last man was intact, and then some. He had been injected with various substances, ranging from silicon to cement, in order to produce warts and bumps and other unsightly abnormalities of the flesh. We found the clown too, who ended up being an unstable lunatic named Terry Bird,
Starting point is 00:09:39 who claimed he was working on behalf of someone known as the Ringmaster. When pressed for further information, Terry claimed he didn't know the ringmaster's identity, but was familiar with his plans. Oddly enough, the ringmaster wanted only to create and host a classic touring carnival called Mr. Mystery's travelling circus and extravaganza. And of course, no good carnival would be complete without a genuine freak show. Terry alleged the ringmaster had enlisted his help in finding some willing or unwilling volunteers, as he put it. Terry got a life sentence without parole, and we kept up our search for this ringmaster, but never did find him, and about a year
Starting point is 00:10:24 after our homeless incident, the nearby towns of Doolittle and Crosby Springs reported that their homeless men were being abducted too. We did what we could to help, even going as far as to offer Terry a plea deal for information on the ringmaster. But he simply laughed, and I punched him in the face and got a weak sleeve, and he said that he, quote, quite liked his cell. It's cozy. As of this posting, any information on the ringmaster will yield a $10,000 reward. Status, partially solved, perpetrator at large. Abigail Jones from Stamford Springs
Starting point is 00:11:09 About 10 or 12 miles southeast of Junction Falls, near the hiking trails, you'll find an old ghost town called Stamford Springs. Now, I'm no expert on it. I'm sure the local rangers and tour guides could fill you in if you're interested. But from what I understand, it used to be a tiny little late 19th century community in its heyday that featured a small general store, a clinic, a church, and about 12 or 13 houses. Inside the buildings, you'll still see all the original furniture too, and some clothes and closets, toys in the children's rooms, small animal bones in the barns and coops, and various other indications that the town was both lived in and abandoned in a hurry. verdict is out and what caused that. It's eerie and creepy and totally cool
Starting point is 00:11:58 and for obvious reasons it's a popular spot for Halloween hikes and other I dare you type excursions. But here's why I'm writing this. In 2009 a hiker reported hearing cries and whimpers coming from the backyard of one of the houses there. He called it in
Starting point is 00:12:15 and the rangers found and opened a previously undiscovered cellar behind the house in which a little girl had been staying for an indeterminate amount of time. She was dressed in an old gown and scared to death. After confirming she was okay, the Rangers asked her all the basics, her name, how she got in there, where and who her parents were, etc. The girl said her name was Abigail, that her parents own the house above, and that they'd put her there and gone back inside to get the rest of the children.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Under further questioning, Abigail insists it's 80. and that her parents have only been gone for minutes, not decades. And keep in mind, this girl is maybe 9 or 10, and she's just bawling her eyes out and confused and so terrified she's shaking. So either she's a future Oscar nominee, putting on the performance of a lifetime for no reason whatsoever, or she really is convinced she was a resident of this 19th century Stanford Springs. So they take her down to the Junction Falls Medical Center, center, and she's keeping up the act too, just in awe of the people and technology,
Starting point is 00:13:25 mouth agape, and they get attested. No brain damage, no malnutrition, no other disorders of any kind. She's a perfectly healthy little nine-year-old kid, and she just insists that her parents were Thomas and Elizabeth Jones, 19th century shopkeepers. You can probably tell where this is going. The authorities searched exhaustive. for any record of a missing girl matching Abigail's description, and found nothing. No birth certificate, no medical records, no social security number and no relatives. And of course, other folks who caught wind of the situation through the dispatches record did some research of their own. And you guessed it, there was indeed a Thomas Jones and an Elizabeth Jones shopkeepers who lived in Stanford Springs in 1884
Starting point is 00:14:16 and who had three children, including a daughter named Abigail, still no information on what happened to the town. Eventually, they brought Abigail with a child placement agency, and I have no idea what came of her after that, but it's definitely one of the weirdest Junction 4 stories I've ever heard. Status. Unsolved Ranchet Singh, explorer of the sewers. Beyond and beneath the standard, subsurface level,
Starting point is 00:14:48 routinely accessed by the maintenance crews, the Junction Four sewers more closely resembles the catacombs of Paris or Odessa than any functioning sewer system. It's just a labyrinth of tunnels that plunge deep into the earth and stretch on for miles and miles and miles, twisting and turning and circling back around and getting hopelessly tangled. It is a far, far larger network than would even be remotely necessary to accommodate a town of this size it makes no sense at all from an engineering perspective. In addition, nobody knows how big they are, how old they are. Ancient, we presume, at the deepest levels. What lies within them?
Starting point is 00:15:28 Who contributed to their construction? Or when, or why, or how it's laid out? The department has been slowly piecing together a map. But even the most optimistic estimates put our progress at or near 25%. It's almost certainly closer to 12 or 15%. So, for obvious reasons, we dread when missing person cases involved the sewers. But luckily, between 2006 and 2014, we had Ranjit Singh. Now, Ranjit was a Junction Falls legend, an experienced Splunker and outdoorsman,
Starting point is 00:16:03 who took it upon himself to explore the deep sewers in depth, uncover their secrets, and not only lend his knowledge and help the force whenever asked, but document his findings for his now removed, blog, and the dispatch. Among the most insane things he encountered and recorded are... Pipetown. I've never actually been to this one, but it's one of his more popular stories, so I'll add it here anyway. A makeshift tent city in the cavernous sewer chamber beneath the north side projects that was built by and for the city's disproportionately large population of addicts,
Starting point is 00:16:38 vagabonds and at large criminals. Pipetown has all the cosy trappings of a third world, back alley slum, too. Ali slum too. Tents and shacks, cardboard, aluminium sheets, drum barrel fires, human waste, illegal gambling and prostitution rings, armed trafficking, and so, so many drugs and related paraphernalia, hence the name. It's a lawless, unorganised, filthy, dystopian swamp, and it is one of the saddest things I've ever seen. A large portion of the sewer-related disappearances either end in or in some way involve pipe town or its residence. In a deep corner of the tunnels, only ever accessed by Singh and his camera,
Starting point is 00:17:20 Ranjit ran across a naked man with the head of a pointer dog. Luckily, the dogman is harmless, from what we can tell. In the video Singh took, he was clearly aware of Ranjit's presence, but didn't seem the least bit alarmed by it and made no effort to interact with him at all. Singh claimed he'd seen the creature frequently down there since and that he never did anything other than sleep, sit in a corner, stare at you or prance around on all four human limbs The JFPD's official advice is to not try to feed or interact with the dogman in any way
Starting point is 00:17:55 Clearly it's getting along just fine without us and has no intention of causing harm So there's no need to upset the balance The Door An Old One wooden door built by the side of the tunnel that you'll never find in the same place twice. Ranjit is actually not the only person who reported the door, nor is he the first, although he is the only one who have successfully recorded it, since it can pop up in the more
Starting point is 00:18:23 accessible near-service tunnels, just as easily and just as frequently as it appears in the deepest, darkest depths of the sewers. As is the case with almost everything in the sewers though, no one knows who built the door, what its nature or purpose is, the extent of its abilities or properties, the only thing we do know about it definitively, and, other than the fact that it moves around a lot, is that those who enter it tend to vanish without a trace. In 2013, Ranjit became the first person to find someone who'd been rumoured to have disappeared through the door. Sadly, the poor girl had been dead for some time. He found a corpse months and months after her disappearance.
Starting point is 00:19:04 appearance case had been shelved, and in a part of the sewers no one could have possibly predicted she'd end up in, given where she'd entered. As far as we can tell from the photos, she entered the door, and, an indeterminate amount of time later, found herself in a forgotten tunnel where she starved her death, lost and alone. Horrible where to go. The clock room. Literally, just a room full of clocks and other timekeeping devices. Kuku clocks, standard wall clocks, wrist watches, digital alarm clocks. You'll even find some make timers there, as well as hourglasses and other. And a gorgeous grandfather clock in the back corner.
Starting point is 00:19:49 Singh recorded it all. The room is too far from the nearest sewer access point to be easily explained as some above-ground clock enthusiast his or her collection either. We still have no idea what to make of this one. The Stalker's Stash. This one we actually did have to respond to And luckily it was close enough to the service That it didn't take a lot of effort to reach
Starting point is 00:20:12 But the reason it was that easy to access Is because the stash wasn't paranormal or alien Or otherworldly in nature at all It was just a small closet-like room Not far from pipe town Filled and covered with pictures Of an underage local girl named Emily Fisher 12 at the time
Starting point is 00:20:30 Although some of the pictures there were of her when she was younger than that All of the photos were clearly taken from bushes, trees, cars or other places where she wouldn't spot the photographer and therefore were taken without a knowledge or consent. Some were of her in class, others were of her on the way to and from school. Others were of her on the bus, in a bedroom from across the street, across the restaurant, at the pool, at friends' houses and countless others.
Starting point is 00:20:59 There were several there of her in various states of undress that I will not go into here or anywhere else, and others still where she was happy and in the company of loved ones and what appeared to be a big party or a family reunion. Those were some of the most disturbing, not only because they were what appeared to be the most recent shots, but because if the photographer was now bold enough
Starting point is 00:21:21 to take pictures of her when she was right next to family and friends, he was probably bold enough to make a physical move against her in the very near future. So we called in our findings and got to her. units dispatched to the Fisher's house to explain this situation and protect Emily. Meanwhile, my partner and I hid around the corner and waited until the photographer arrived. Turns out, it was none other than serial violent offender named Davis T.J. James, who, we were not aware had been released on bail while he awaited trial on another charge, and who had come to Junction Falls to do his business.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Needless to say, we arrested him on the spot. easily, one of the most nauseating and disturbing things I've ever witnessed, and one of the main reasons the forces loves Rajit Singh so much. Who knows what would have happened if he hadn't stumbled across the stash when he did? Anyway, he has countless more stories if anyone's interested. But the point is, Ranjit is our go-to guy for sewer-related cases, and he never complained when we asked him for help. One day, recently, though, it became our turn to help him.
Starting point is 00:22:29 His girlfriend came to us in hysterics. She said he'd gone into the sewers in search of something called The Presence four days ago, even though he said he'd only been gone half that amount of time. Luckily, Ranjit likes to mark his paths with glow sticks and flares, so we were able to track him down to a chamber, about two or three miles down in the sewers. Now, obviously, the sewer network was dark and suffocating,
Starting point is 00:22:54 but this particular room was even more so. It was so dark, so suffocating. that he can only be described as harboring a presence, just like he'd said. A faceless, invisible, silent entity that felt malicious in an ancient way. I felt like I was being watched by something that just wanted me to suffer. Even standing right next to my partner did nothing to combat the power this presence had over us, all to divide and isolate. And the further we went in, in search of Ranjit, the stronger it got.
Starting point is 00:23:27 before long I could barely see my partners and after a while I couldn't see them at all the darkness was so thick in there that even a powerful source of direct light couldn't avoid being overwhelmed and when one of us would shout for the others it sounded distant or obstructed the presence muffled the sound
Starting point is 00:23:48 and then muted it fully just like the light and when it had me isolated and alone It began to communicate terrible things Without words or sounds or images I entered in a place a blank slate And suddenly I just knew things Awesome and terrible
Starting point is 00:24:13 The essence of infinity and nothingness The spirit of death I felt like a child or an insect Trying to make sense of man In a panic I turned and ran back the way I came It felt like it took hours or days In fact it felt like all time had no power or meaning in that place at all.
Starting point is 00:24:34 Luckily, all the officers made it out too and every last one of us was in the same state terrified in an existential way unable to explain the thing that presence in any capacity whatsoever All we know is that it is a manifestation of some kind of evil stuck out of time
Starting point is 00:24:53 Sadly, we never did find Ranjit. The official story is that he died while trying to navigate a particularly treacherous part of the tunnels, which is true, but we didn't go into any detail beyond we weren't able to extract the body. For good measure, we also did not disclose what part of the sewer we lost them in in order to prevent anyone else from accessing it on one of the search for Ranjit parties that are popping up on local social media groups and message boards all the time now. But the one thing I can't get out of my head when I'm lying awake at night is this. Time didn't exist within the presence.
Starting point is 00:25:34 None. Past, present, future. It felt like it all got rolled into some kind of alien and morphous bubble of the fourth dimension, which means that even to this day, all these years later, Ranjet might still be alive, sitting up against the wall, basking in and behind. beholding the presence, lost forever in the deep. Status solved.
