Starting point is 00:00:00 Wow. What do you think of that? What don't you think of that? What I think that girl is fucking? What you see? Who? Ah! Shut up.
Starting point is 00:00:10 Your mum. Yours. Yours. Yours. Yours. Oh, Mia, that's next to you, honey. Okay, honey. Don't mind you, don't you.
Starting point is 00:00:22 Pull that down. Look, not. I probably will. We only need it for one. You've only got a last one. All right. Right, but you're closest, so you can close the door. Okay.
Starting point is 00:00:34 Oh. It's from my move. I'm like, jeep. So, in the name of love, before you break my heart. I'm so nervous. You're nervous. Just one. One we've got to get through.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Oh, tell me what you're thinking for the finale. I want it on my phone How can you not know No Because I don't know the guy He's not well known I don't think It's just a murderer
Starting point is 00:01:10 Is it gruesome? I don't know yet I haven't fully looked But I was just Yeah okay this could work It'd be gruesome enough It's Halloween mate Like when we're saying gruesome
Starting point is 00:01:20 We're talking like guts and stuff Yeah like whatever Just enough that you go Oh my God Well most of that stuff makes me go Oh my God Okay so you're not really a good judge. Yeah, I'm weak.
Starting point is 00:01:30 Okay, I'm weak. He likely greased her arm. Ooh! I can't cope. Yeah. I'll be like, that's not the kind of thing we're looking for. That's not it. I feel like I do more at work. Is he a cereal?
Starting point is 00:01:47 Yes. But I like a big serial killer. Selling pile needs to go away, pile. Jumpers. what this oh that's just washing these go away I um
Starting point is 00:02:04 I thought that some of my clothes like packed up some of my summer clothes to put in the that's selling but I've taken photos of most of it that pile down there is not had photos done yet I'm getting there you're doing well
Starting point is 00:02:19 I'm getting there you're doing well have you sold more no really slow so actually what I'm thinking is I need to be looking at the season and what people may be wanting now. So Christmas stuff or winter stuff, so stop putting pictures of shorts on.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Okay, maybe. That'd be careful, because I did see someone talking about a scam where they sent them an expensive £60 item, which was like a bargain, because it was brand new, never worn dress. And then the buyer opened, sent a picture back of shorts saying you sent me shorts, not even in the correct package
Starting point is 00:02:59 and vintage sided with them the person that brought it so they logged 60 quid okay well I am taking pictures of everything even packages and stuff like that yeah of the man taking it I've got a picture of that poor man across the road's hand so many hands so many hands yeah I'm just saying be careful because it's like a scam thing
Starting point is 00:03:22 especially if it's an expensive if it's a four pound diet and moving on with your life do you know what I mean but if it's an expensive item that's a fucker yeah yes yes
Starting point is 00:03:35 open shushami right hello everyone hey we're back for another week what's happens what's happens in your week I am wearing yellow
Starting point is 00:03:48 because today at my work was mental health day I didn't realize it was represented by yellow Yeah Yeah There was a lot of mental health happening And it was a lot
Starting point is 00:04:05 Did you actually learn anything Or you just wore yellow And made the children pay for it We just done fun things all day Did the kids have to pay for it? Yeah they did They don't have to pay for the privilege Always
Starting point is 00:04:21 I didn't You're not meant to are you or a teacher I suppose you. Are you? Yeah. I'm guessing you neither. Oh. Reporter someone.
Starting point is 00:04:32 So what else? Tell them. Where else? What else? I so want to cuddle chaos. That would be amazing. I'll make daise chains and put it on his head. It's not the right time of year.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Sorry. I'll bring one. Okay, you bring a daisy chain. I'll just cuddle. Can we bring them fruit and stuff? I'd hope so. Yeah, but they're not in like one of those things where they're they're all lined up one after another being milked, are they?
Starting point is 00:04:59 Well, when they're getting milked, I guess they are. But hopefully they're allowed out on a field. Like free range cows. Oh, don't. Talking about cows. I think, you know, what's the algorithms picked up that I was talking about cows and then this thing came up and this poor cow, dairy cow, obviously in a real bad way, giving birth in its shackles.
Starting point is 00:05:20 See what I'm saying? That baby could not come out because there were bars behind the spot. you know and she couldn't lay down and I just felt awful watching it and I was just like why did you watch it all but I was like straight through can't do it going I don't understand it's like you know where they do all those chickens I don't understand how that's allowed and why not all animals are free range come in at night and then free range it's one thing to eat animals but I'm quite funny with like um I like free range right and although obviously we you know they're more expensive and Paul doesn't always buy them
Starting point is 00:06:00 it actually makes me feel sick when I cook that have been in the in the battery thing you know what I'm talking about because the thought of it is I can't watch it just makes me cry stuff like that but yeah I really I should give up meat because of the way I feel but I just I'd starve to death meat is a massive part of my diet yeah I do have quite a summertime I don't I do Sometimes I just have meat Last night I had
Starting point is 00:06:32 What did that Brussels sprouts Oh I like Brussels sprouts I literally put some Brussels sprouts With honey in the air fryer And that's what I had for dinner Because I really wanted Brussels sprouts I really like Brussels sprouts
Starting point is 00:06:47 Especially with bacon I had no bacon Back to the meat I did have bacon And normally I would put bacon in with it but it meant I had to fuff around and cut up the bacon. I couldn't be bothered. I just wanted to do a quick in and eat it.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Okay, sweet. So if we can meet these cows, I'm into it. We're in. Right, my week, what's happened? Went to college, learned some stuff. We're doing science at the minute, and there's a lot of maths, and then we're learning some electrics, and I'm like, what's this got to do with plumbing,
Starting point is 00:07:22 but it all does. Yeah, it does. You've got earth stuff, haven't you? Yeah, the earth, but it's not that. It's, you've got to work out the voltage of stuff and then compare it to the amp and then the voltage amp and the wattage, and then you've got to do the calculations for all of that.
Starting point is 00:07:40 And I'm just like, I mean, I did it, and then you've got to work out what amp goes with that and, like, I did it, but I'm still like, wow, man. So then what I did is I put it all, I took photos of all the workbook and everything and then put it into a text and then transcribed it and now I can listen to it when I'm on dog walks and that super boring so that goes off after about 20 minutes
Starting point is 00:08:05 but I'll get there I just I doubt myself quite a lot but then we did then we have practical that all went well and then we had to do like a so we had to say elbow tea joints what they were what they meant, blah, blah, blah. And, of course, I went into full detail. And he's like, no, just say your elbow.
Starting point is 00:08:27 And then missed that in the other. And I was like, for fuck sakes, I had to cross loads of it out. But, you know, that's really been my week. Dog walking. What else? Oh, my son started a job. I feel like that's it. Just boring.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Boring. It's been a quick week, isn't it? It's gone really fast, but I've been feeling that way for it because there's so much going on all the time. I think it's just flying by it, than it. and I'm just like gasping for a break and a vacation on my own I was looking to see if I could take the dog
Starting point is 00:08:57 on the plane to Scotland just go on the train on the train to Scotland yeah it'll take a few hours few hours yeah but think of the views on the way I mean I suppose I feel like I want to go to Scotland

Maybe I need to get it looked at, but of course I want, because you're going to see a physiotherapist, and I'll be like, can you just do, like, something to have a look inside, see why I'm always in pain? And they're going, nothing wrong with you. He doesn't talk like that.

Starting point is 00:17:06 Haven't been playing postern for the last weekend? What? Remember those years that I kept ending up in hospital? Then they finally did surgery and they were like, oh, you've been ending up in hospital? And I was like, yeah, what is it? Oh, your stomach and liver were stuck together. You were fused together. Yeah, I was fused.
Starting point is 00:17:26 No wonder you were in pain. Oh, okay. In a car. Oh. Thanks for letting me know. I would have never had known. I mean, I did mention, ow. You know what I mean?

Starting point is 00:17:51 and I'm like left and walk and drop it! Okay okay the cold passenger don't say you got that did I take it out
Starting point is 00:18:06 I'm trying to think where I am yes one two three I got enough. You sure? Got enough. Because I'll skip it.
Starting point is 00:18:16 I got enough. Gone. You sure? Yes. All right. So, my Tio is a taxi driver. I heard him tell this story to my dad
Starting point is 00:18:29 when they were drinking. Full stop. This sounds like I was going to go. Yeah, we're like, yeah, then. I don't, and it. And then. Shh. Just go.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Sorry. There's this stretch of road outside my small town that every cab driver knows about. No one talks about it unless there's a few beers deep. The road runs along the airport, no houses, just these tall trees, dense trees that swallow both sides. No streetlights either. After the last flight lands around 9pm, the road is dead. One driver fell asleep in his cab outside the airport waiting for a fare. He woke up at 11pm to an empty parking lot.
Starting point is 00:19:21 He pulled out when he spots a passenger in the middle of nowhere. Nothing around for miles. Slim, long black hair spilling down her waist. Wasn't you? She flags him down. He stops. stops, she gets in without a word, gives an address in this flat distant voice. He turns on the meter and starts driving.
Starting point is 00:19:51 He tries small talk, nothing. She faces the window. It says dindo. Dindo? She faces the dindo. She faces the window completely still, hair hanging like a curtain over her face. Then the driver notices the cold, not AC cold, it was just chilling cold, the kind that creeps into your bones. He turns the AC off completely, it doesn't help.
Starting point is 00:20:23 He keeps his eyes on the road, tells himself that he'll go home after dropping this last cold passenger. But something fills off, he finds his hands shaking anxiously on the wheel. finally he hits a red light he glances up at the rearview mirror the back seat was empty he swears he never heard a door open never felt the car shift but she's gone the driver was said to be an atheist he's not superstitious as well his brain was scrambled for logic maybe she slipped out at the stop impossible they were still at the edge of the city that was the first stop like they had passed through maybe he imagined it no it was too vivid even though his brain kept telling him
Starting point is 00:21:23 logic explanations logical explanations he didn't believe any of that he felt it something got in his cab that night that was never human to begin with now every driver hangs a roh rosary in their mirror touching it when the passengers when passed oh bleh touching it when they pass by that road I think it is a spirit something bad happened to her and she is living on repeat she is stuck on repeat flagging the car down this is where I'm going so what I feel like's
Starting point is 00:22:03 happened is she's been killed by some taxi Uber driver, someone that's picked her up to take her home and they've done something bad to hers and now she's on a loop. But what I thought was interesting was when did she disappear and is at that point where she possibly gets out of the car and is left. That's what I'm saying. Yes, this is where my head went with this as well. Yeah, straight away. So it's like Yeah, so... And the thing is, like, because he's feeling negative, but of course she's negative,
Starting point is 00:22:39 because she's like, I got in the car, this is where it happened, where she gets out, and then obviously they're realising that she's not there. Don't think she's a bad person, I think she's trying to get someone to find her. That's what it's giving me. And that is why she's stuck on repeat.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Because, you know, you happen to flag down a taxi, Uber, drug, whatever it is. there isn't actually any comments but yeah I really liked that one I liked that one as well but it really gave something really bad happened to her now she this poor woman is like oh yeah just on repeat so any taxi driver any cab driver she flags down gets in tells them where and gets out where where it took took place yeah here we go Being dragged out of bed while sleeping. I was living a reckless life.
Starting point is 00:23:39 I ended up getting drunk, sleeping over some random guy's house. I knew he was bad news because of his lifestyle, but misery loves company. Anyway, we pass out on his bed and at 4 a.m., I was awoken by something yanking me out of his bed. I'm on the floor and I'm screaming that somebody has broken in. He gets up and checks and I actually felt somebody grabbing my ankles and I felt the cold air on my back. He jumped out of bed running around looking. He finds nothing and calms me down and we go back to sleep.
Starting point is 00:24:24 I filed it away in my brain as a warning that I need to stay away from this guy. I ended up dating him and it quickly turned violent Easiest break up For me hands down Because I just knew I'd end up dead If I'd stay Thinking back on it now
Starting point is 00:24:47 Like what the fuck was that Go on I mean What the fuck was that Yeah Grabbing their ankles I'm pulling them out of bed. No, thank you.
Starting point is 00:25:02 I would not be staying in that bed. That is your warning. Get out. Get out. Do you think they were trying to save her? Yes. Or do you think there was just something bad there that just happened to be happening at the same time? There was feeding off the negativity.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Maybe, but I do feel like they were trying to save her. Quite physically. Get the fuck out. Literally get the fuck out and save yourself. Maybe it's a next. That's what I feel. thought as well because I was like that's buried under the floor balls that of his literally I was like god we're sickos yeah that's we're proper on the same ball
Starting point is 00:25:39 tonight um top comment did you have any other experiences during the time you might be correct that this was a warning to wake you up this happened to me before but it was a different situation and with other things happening around me a very dark time indeed okay OP did respond. During this time, nothing else. I will say I would get something overwhelming and sometimes underwhelming gut feelings and that man has killed before or will kill. I know it sounds crazy because I still hung around him but it got to me to the point I couldn't ignore it anymore and cut my losses. So, but that's what we've just said. Like, Has he done something that stirred whatever's living there
Starting point is 00:26:33 or has he killed someone before and they're like, get the fuck and go? Yeah, I'm never going to let this happen to someone else again. Exactly, that's what I'm saying. Wow. It's kind of a nice thought, but it's awful. It's kind of a nice thought, but when it happened, she stored it in a place that made it easier to leave
Starting point is 00:26:56 when things turned violent. So actually It was a good thing Because straight away She was like Danger danger Do you know what I mean So I don't know
Starting point is 00:27:07 I don't know Or it could have been Something negative Just playing with her Either way it did her a favour Yeah massively That's what I'm saying Whatever the intent was
Starting point is 00:27:17 It saves her life Yeah because she didn't Hang around long enough To keep putting up Keep putting up Keep putting up Because he obviously started hitting her and then she kept going back
Starting point is 00:27:28 to that. Do you know what I mean? Which tells me, I don't know, it was a positive thing. Whether whatever did it meant it positively or not. It turns positive. Yeah, definitely. But how funny we're both like, as he killed before and it's an ex going, run.
Starting point is 00:27:45 But if that was the case also, do you think maybe they would have tried otherwise? More stuff. Do you know what I mean? Other than just that one time. Or they were like, well then stay bitch. Well, maybe, maybe they were struggling to connect. So when you're in that, the state of sleep, it might be easier to sort of, I don't know. If I got pulled off the bed by my ankles anytime, anywhere, I would leave and never go back. No, I agree. Never ever. Fuck everyone else.
Starting point is 00:28:16 I'd be gone. I'd get everybody up and say, get out. And I don't know. I don't know what I'd do, but I feel like that is very powerful if it was a spirit for a spirit to do yeah I don't start already sorry I didn't mean to
Starting point is 00:28:31 it's been a long day okay yeah about mental health honestly it's draining all these kids who were struggling with the yellow
Starting point is 00:28:42 I don't understand why they were struggling with yellow I can't help you will you like calm down the whole day yeah but say that if it was a day of
Starting point is 00:28:52 That was supposed to be a day of fun. That would be more what they were struggling with. Yeah, it was out of routine. But not most, it was like break time out of routine, not like they weren't doing their lessons. Oh, they still had lessons? Yeah. Yeah. But then we just had, when did you break up?
Starting point is 00:29:11 Next week. So it means I break up next week. Possibly, I don't know. We get two weeks. They know, I don't. One. Mine's only got one. And he's got two more weeks at school.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Oh, I'm like, I hope we don't talk about that. That's mean. For who? For me. I need the time, man. I need my brain to switch. I really need to switch my brain off. Mine won't be switched off.
Starting point is 00:29:40 I'll be doing other shit. Exactly. Like my coursework that I should have been dating. So will I. So will I. To go. Right. The doorbell.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Ding dong. My sister died of cancer in 2012. I lived with her for several months beforehand and would frequently help her however I could. As the disease progressed, she had become confined to bed. We had a hospital bed brought to the setup in the small apartment we shared. I slept in the other room and because she couldn't speak very loudly, I brought a wireless doorbell and affixed the button to the side row of her bed. I put the chime part in the other room where I slept
Starting point is 00:30:29 and told her to just ring the bell if she needed a glass of water or anything else. That's sweet. After she died, I was a mess emotionally. She was my only sibling and her death really hit me hard. One day shortly after she died, Mark, one of her best friends, stopped by to see me. We were chatting in the room where I had slept prior to her passing. The hospital bed had been removed and the doorbell button and chime was sitting on a sideboard in the room where we were talking. I was looking in the general direction of the doorbell when I suddenly saw the red LED light on the button light up.
Starting point is 00:31:13 The way it did when you pushed it, the doorbell chimed. Mark and I stopped talking and looked at the doorbell and then at each other. My heart skipped a beat and I lost a thread of the conversation. Mark seemed a little rattled too. We didn't really acknowledge it at the time. That never happened before or since. I still have the doorbell in a cabinet somewhere. I think I'll bring it out someday and put fresh batteries in it and just leave.
Starting point is 00:31:49 it out just in case. What do you think? I want to do what you would do. The batteries were low, but I don't think it was that. I do think that she was letting them both know that she knew Mark had come and she was just saying hi to them. Stop fucking talking about me. Maybe. I'm still in the room. Yeah, I do. I feel like she was just giving them a little nod to say, I'm here. Do you know what I mean? I'll tell you what I wouldn't be taking it out of the cupboard and putting batteries in it then me neither but because I know because obviously you don't know what you're inviting in but that and they're not acknowledged I'm fine with that do you know what I mean it's a little bit of a I'm here okay you know what I mean like when my mum died and then the bottom of the
Starting point is 00:32:36 washing machine kept opening like we literally have to push it in to undo it um I acknowledged it in my mind but obviously not out loud because obviously we've spoken about why but sometimes it's like a little nod yeah I quite like that I think that's quite sweet I would again I wouldn't get out and start playing because I wouldn't want to keep hearing it either do you know what I mean no because it would freak me out like dead asleep positing and then ding dong I'd freak out did you like that ding dong just like that yeah I'd stay poised Awesome.
Starting point is 00:33:16 I heard nothing. Nothing. Nothing. There was quite a few messages back but they were like having something similar. Someone was like, go ahead and pull it out now. It's my understanding that they don't need batteries to make things work like that. I don't know why we want to encourage this. We don't.
Starting point is 00:33:42 Oh, I don't know where there was more. there was more I feel like that's enough yeah you know like she rung the bell she said hi as Mark come and see which again is really lovely because a lot of people don't after people have died and I think take it for what it was and don't make it any worse in case it wasn't what we think it is do you know I mean yeah that's my advice I found the stories that I have read by the way so it's like I didn't read that one why is that there right ready yeah the thing by the road the road the thing the thing done done when I was a kid my dad used to drive us out to visit my grandparents in rural Kentucky every other weekend it was a four-hour drive
Starting point is 00:34:38 Most highway, mostly highway, but the last part went through empty back roads, just trees, fields and the occasional mail box. How lovely. One night it was raining hard and we were running late. I remember the wipers squeaking and that steamy, dreary on the roof as we went through a stretch with no streetlights at all. Then the car headlights caught something, a person standing on the shoulder. Dad slowed down a little. Why? Dad slowed down a little. The figure looked like a woman, barefoot wearing a thin white dress, plastered to her legs from the rain. Her head was tilted down, her hair covered her face.
Starting point is 00:35:35 I remember the weirdest thing. was she wasn't shivering just still. Dad rolled down the window an inch and called out, Are you okay, ma'am? She didn't move, just slowly lifted her arm and pointed down the road. Don't you do it? Down, that you're scaring you. It's scaring her.
Starting point is 00:35:57 After a hundred feet, a massive tree had fallen across the road. We wouldn't have seen it in time to stop if we had kept driving. Dad braked hard, heart racing. By the time he turned to thank her, she had gone. No sound, no movement, no footprints in the mud. We backed up, turned round and found another route. When we got to my grandparents' house, Dad called the county sheriff to report the fallen tree.
Starting point is 00:36:30 The deputy said, yeah, that's a bad stretch. You aren't the first to see a woman there. What do you think? What is she like knocking down fucking trees just to wind people up? She saved their lives. Yeah but why is she knocking down trees? I don't think she did knock down the tree. She needs to behave herself.
Starting point is 00:36:52 Why are she doing? Why are you finding all these weird women just lurking about? Oh you like women? Just fucking lurkers. Maybe she died there. You found the last woman. You're right, I did. Yeah, I'm not, I'm done.
Starting point is 00:37:10 I'm not, my brain was like circle. After I sit down, I like that shit as me. Yeah, it was actually me. I did that. Because I didn't just like the story. I'm not like, oh, that I didn't actually read that. Fucking bitch. What do you think?
Starting point is 00:37:26 She was good. We're not finding scary ones though, are we? But it's a very weird encounter. And lucky, again, another lucky encounter. Another lucky encounter. Very spooky, almost like she wanted to make sure nothing happened because the same accident may have happened to her. See, I told you, her in trees.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Yeah. Yeah, it's weird. It's weird. You're not the first to see a lady there. No, thank you. No, thank you very much. Nah. But why often are the people who see?
Starting point is 00:38:02 I do. I feel like she's a good spirit. Have you ever watched, what the fuck is it? Probably not. With, um... Oh, she's a mixed race actor. Hallie Berry, beautiful woman. Cassie wanted to marry her, went to have been here.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Yeah, get it. Even I wanted to marry her at one point. Well, yeah, when she was a cat woman, I would have married her as well, I'm not going to lie. She could have joined us and the Avengers. Um, what is it? She played in this horror. It's one of the best horrors I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:38:34 scene because again it's a ghost I'm not going to tell you because I'm going to make you watch it anyway long story short it is all about I don't know I'm coming here for that we could still have a sleepover
Starting point is 00:38:50 but yeah is it gothic car might be gothic oh you've got to watch it man but it's fucked up and the whole premise of the film is basically the ghost has been through something
Starting point is 00:39:03 and then lead everyone to what's going on and that's all I'm going to give you but it's been done so good that I've watched it probably about eight times and you may fucking bought it's so good and you can't remember what it's called I think it's gothic car I know it when I see it
Starting point is 00:39:21 but yeah it's a great fit if any of you know what I'm talking about oh so well made okay so well made right is it you or me me? I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:39:34 You just did this. Yeah. I just, no, this. I think I'm going to stand outside your window. Throw something up and then do this. Which window are you standing outside? Just do this. Such a knobbed.
Starting point is 00:39:51 And then it looked at my head, be like, ah. I'm moving on. Are you? Something ran down the hill towards my house. No. Possible, yeah. When I was a teenager, I had this strange habit. Later night, I'd sneak in onto the roof of my house with a pair of binoculars and just watched the town.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Sounds a bit weird, but a bit weird, yeah. The streets felt different after dark. The vendor machines glowed like beacons, taxis dragged themselves uphill with drunks in their backseat. and the long slope that led straight to my house stretched out in full view from where I sat. One night I noticed something moving on the slope. It wasn't walking, it was sprinting, far too fast for any normal person. I lifted the binoculars and froze. It looked like a child but horribly wrong.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Skin and bones, completely naked. its face stretched into a wide grin it was waving at me and its eyes were locked on mine panic hit that's through binoculars no panic hit me all at once
Starting point is 00:41:19 I scrambled down from the roof knocked the front door and stood in the living room gripping an iron like a weapon shaking so badly I could barely breathe that's when I heard it Heavy footsteps thundered up up the stairwell like it was searching for me on the roof. Seconds later, they pounded back down, heading straight towards the entrance. Then the banging start started.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Bang, bang, bang. The door shook under the blows. The doorbell rang over and over in a frantic rhythm and it, and in between I could hear it groaning, I'm not going to do the groaning noises. Do it, no, you have to. It's part of the story. Ah, nah, ah, nah. Is it good? Yeah, you really make that scared.
Starting point is 00:42:21 Are you scared? It's okay. It was just me. It was just me. It was just me. It was just me. I stood frozen in the middle of the room. in the middle of the room, heart hammering, the iron slick in my sweaty hands, and then as suddenly as it began, everything stopped. Silence. I stayed like that until the first light of dawn,
Starting point is 00:42:45 too terrified to move. I never went back on the roof with my binoculars again. Yeah, no fucking way. No way on this earth. I would have died from a heart attack. I would have been under something as well I'd be like wedged under the floorboards yeah I don't like that at all what was it I don't know but the first and how did it know that it was there yeah I was just like whoa like but if you're doing this often maybe people maybe things are noticing you out on a roof and because they can't move around doing their business they then decided to come for you. Yeah, like,
Starting point is 00:43:28 you're watching. You're the night watcher. So we'll show you that there's really something to see. Yeah, nothing to watch here, fuck off. And you wouldn't. You never look out. You never look out the window again,
Starting point is 00:43:41 I'll tell you that. Close your curtains. Yeah, with locks. I'd have locks all the way round the whole entire door. Okay, go on. I would just like, put some wood across.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Don't ever, don't know anything. Don't need windows. Yeah, yeah. Delivery. Anyway The top The top comment was Where were the adults in your house
Starting point is 00:44:01 Surely the ruckus woke them too Which is a really good point It's a good question Yeah OPE replied with good question They actually didn't react at all Which made it even creepier Like they were the only ones
Starting point is 00:44:18 Who noticed something running Like we were the only ones who noticed something running down the hill. I don't know why he said we. Yeah, maybe he meant him and the thing running down the hill. Yeah, maybe. Huh? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:37 Keep going. I'm going to see the bus away. I don't know what's going about. That's just giving me the hebi-jubis big time. Oh my God, I hope I never see that. Opie then says there are tons of stories like this in Japan. I was like, oh. Yeah, now I would possum and die from a heart attack.
Starting point is 00:45:01 Yeah, I'm not okay with it. That's literally what would happen. I'd be dead from a heart attack. Could you imagine, you know, you got your binoculars, bonoculars? Benucon loch, you've got your knuckles. Got your knuckle loch. Got your knuckles. Got your knuckles.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Yeah. And not only do you notice something, but you also notice that that thing has noticed you, that you are looking at each other. Literally, the moment I saw it, the knoculars would go down, I'd go in, bolt everything down, climb into bed with pull, which is rare,
Starting point is 00:45:34 and then just be possum until with the covers over my head until morning. No, no, the covers over your head. Why, I'd rather not see that death is coming. Just let death come. You hear it. Breathing. So you'd rather watch it climb in?
Starting point is 00:45:49 What would it do? It would do. Yeah, come on, tell us all what it would do. And I'll be yes, brough. Yes, brough. Or I've got covers and go. Fuck off. I'm not here.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Right, my last one. Or have I read three? I'm so confused tonight. I've read free. So yeah, it's my third. It took me a minute, brain engaged. Right. I had a dream about an old fling and found out he had passed away. I, 43 year old woman, and when I was about 19 or 20, I met a guy.
Starting point is 00:46:42 Let's call him Jay. We were more like friends with benefits, but I definitely liked him more than he liked me. He was loud, a little obnoxious, and kind of hard to deal with at times. Still, I liked him. Once I turned 21, we went our separate ways. You know how it is. Nearly 21, living near a big city, going out with friends, clubbing, meeting new people. I lost touch with Jay completely.
Starting point is 00:47:14 From what I can remember, he tried to reach out a few times, but I had brushed. him off. Fast forward, about five or six years later, I had this really vivid dream about him. In the dream, I was in a parked garage with Jay and he was chasing after me, trying to get my attention. I remember turning around and yelling, no, I don't like how you treated me. Then I ran off. When I woke up, it had stuck with me. The dream felt real like it meant something. I couldn't shake the feeling so I decided to look him up. I couldn't find much about him online so I searched for his mum.
Starting point is 00:48:03 She was easy to find since she was a real estate agent and we happened to share the same last name. I found her number and actually called. When she answered, I said hi. I don't know if you remember me but I used to know your son Jay. I'm calling because I had a dream about him. How is he doing? There was a long pause and then she told me that Jay had passed away. He had died in July of 2025. No, July of 2005. I don't know why 2025 come out. And I had the dream about around October of 2005. Apparently he had been born with a heart condition and passed away in his car on the side of the road after feeling unwell. I was speechless. I remember just sitting there after the call completely stunned. I couldn't believe it. It still gives me the chills thinking about it because
Starting point is 00:49:03 is that a dream or is he trying hard to get my attention? And it happened after he had already passed. Part of me truly believes that that was his way of reaching out, maybe to say goodbye. or make peace I just wish I could have seen him one more time what do you think about that what why you laughing but she thinks it might have been like he was in a dream to get her attention and he had died and she was just like no I don't like you go away and he's just like yeah and she's like fuck off running away He's like, he's like, Biv, Beverly, Biv! And she's like, fuck off!
Starting point is 00:49:58 And then wakes up and calls his mum. I had a world weird dream about him. The thing is, maybe you did have a message. But it's too late now, isn't it? It is too late. I just found it a bit weird. I quite like it. It is weird, and do you know what?
Starting point is 00:50:12 It's weird that she rung the mum. It's weird. That's probably the weirdest part of it all. For me as well. But it must have really bothered her. Yeah. I mean, what else was going on in this? But how bad was this dream?
Starting point is 00:50:25 That's what I mean that is that she stalked down, tried to stalk him down, then stalked down the mum, and then rung the mum. And she's like, I had a dream. And he's like, he's dead. See, when I dream about people, I generally do give him a message. And I've dreamt about you last night. Nine times ten, they're not even doing anything in my dream. They're just in it.
Starting point is 00:50:48 Oh, really? Yeah, I've had loads of things. I mean I've had dreams but I don't message the people I just well when there's someone you haven't spoken to for a while you're like fucking why are you in my dream what's going on are you okay that's how where my head goes mine I only panic if I get a bad feeling I just feel like when people are in my dream it's a bad thing has anything bad ever happened not bad as in like someone's died yeah but they're like I lost my job something's just something's happened with them or they've got something going on okay
Starting point is 00:51:20 I don't know. It has been like that. Then maybe that is your thing. Mine isn't like that. Mine's a feeling. I like to get a feeling about someone and then that's that. It's not like that. But I suppose it is the same thing.
Starting point is 00:51:32 You're just asleep when it happens. Yeah, it's bizarre. Top comment. This happened to me also was a boyfriend I had when I was 17. A really vivid dream about him, not romantic, just talking and hanging out. and when I woke up for some reason I felt that he must be dead I looked online and sure enough he had passed away very recently it really felt like he wanted to say goodbye I think about it a lot
Starting point is 00:52:03 and then Opie did respond and said wow really I think about a lot also I feel bad because of the times he was reaching to me but I brushed him off she brushed him off for a reason maybe he just came to give her closure but again she didn't let him but she obviously because of the way she liked him
Starting point is 00:52:30 she just would never let herself yeah let herself give him that time because if she gave him that time she could be drawn back in etc so I think don't feel bad about yourself but you know it happened for a reason like you rejected even in your dream for a reason and I think don't go against that, go with that.
Starting point is 00:52:51 You know what I mean? Right, finish is off. All right. Finish! I'm an undertaker and something happened. Me too. Didn't I tell you? It's what I started undertaking.
Starting point is 00:53:04 Just something else for the... My victims don't know, but... I go like this and they get in my car. Something happened and I've always been sceptical until today. I'm an undertaker and I have been for the past eight years. I've always been sceptical when it comes to the afterlife, especially the paranormal. But today, something happened that I cannot explain. I was cleaning unclaimed ashes.
Starting point is 00:53:35 Oh, that's sad. Sorry. That is fucking sad. Never think about that, do you? No. Okay. I'll start that big. I was cleaning unclaimed ashes out.
Starting point is 00:53:47 of the funeral home where I work. We are moving out of the old Victorian building we operate out of into a new funeral home. For the past week, we have been making a slow transition moving out our current home into our new one. In our basement we have unclaimed ashes going as far back as the 1970s. Sad. I just...
Starting point is 00:54:16 Oh my God. Would they be James and Jane Does? Sad. I just had my headphones in, putting the boxes into bags so we could send them to the local crematorium for them to be scattered. I must have put away hundreds of boxes of ashes
Starting point is 00:54:41 without even thinking about it. I was just listening to a podcast, getting another task ticked off my to-do list I was putting one box into the bag and felt my body and brain freeze with no word with the word no but I didn't hear anything do you want to say what I was right yeah
Starting point is 00:55:06 it's hard to explain what I felt the best I can explain is that my own free will had gone and I was ordered to stop what I was doing. I stopped immediately and put the box of ashes in my hand onto the table. On closer inspection there were two boxes I was going to put in two separate bags, one small box and one normal size one. Let's just say for privacy reasons, one box was labelled Hannah Williams. On top of Hannah Williams ashes, there was a box labelled baby Williams. Oh. I presume they are mother and baby who I was about to separate into two separate bags, which I find quite spooky because I didn't read the labels before. I was doing a mundane task
Starting point is 00:56:03 as fast as I could with my existing duties and clearing the premises. I was doing a mundane task. I was doing a mundane task. was just trying to get things done as fast as possible and was not paying attention to the names. I just needed to get this done. So yeah, I cannot explain for this for the life of me. I cannot come up with an explanation for this. I'm not scared nor am I excited about what I felt. I just felt confused about the whole situation. The mum was simply saying no, don't separate us. It's very powerful. Yeah, mad. And extremely sad that the mum and the baby had a name
Starting point is 00:56:45 with no one to claim either of them. Actually, a really sad story. Massively sad. But I do believe it was simply the mum to communicate with you saying no, like make sure we're together. Because can you imagine being moved somewhere else and scattered
Starting point is 00:57:01 and you're not with your child? It's incredibly sad. Yeah. Yeah. I don't have a lot to say about that. I do, I think it was the mum. It was like, yeah, I think definitely the mum being like, no, I need to be with my baby. And you're right, the right word powerful, because something to just sort of stop you.
Starting point is 00:57:23 He didn't hear the word no, no, no, but, oh, he didn't hear the word be said, but he heard the word no. Yes. Like, yeah, like the voice that talks you in your head, but a different one was like, no, do you know what I mean? So you just kind of stop what you're doing and make, and then you try. kick and yeah so the top comment I've got two top comments yeah to me this is a very powerful illustration of the continuation of consciousness after physical death mum didn't want her remains separated from her child's and firmly told you so simple and profound yeah as that yeah 100% which is exactly what you just said um kind of
Starting point is 00:58:06 worries me that any of us would ever care what happens to our remains after we're dead. I would much prefer to believe that our remains seem totally irrelevant at this point. Maybe for those of us who move on after death, it is irrelevant. And for those who refuse to move on, it means everything. When it's my time, I am saying yes to that lie. I am moving on to whatever there is. because everything I hear about those that don't move on
Starting point is 00:58:40 it's never good and they never seem too happy about hanging around check out the blah blah blah blah yeah I mean who knows whether that that mum has moved on we don't know what happened there and simply simply in that moment got pulled back to say no we stay together maybe that I don't know
Starting point is 00:59:04 Nobody can answer what happens next. Nobody, even the people that claim that they know what happens next because they've died for a few minutes or whatever. You won't truly know until you get there yourself, do you know what I mean? And, you know, that person saying, no matter what, I'm going to the light, you don't know if the light's going to be your option or not. You have no idea. Maybe, because there was no one to take care of those ashes.
Starting point is 00:59:32 it was important that those ashes stayed together. They should stay together. And nobody else had taken them to put them to rest. It does surprise me, not the fact that there's, because, you know, people die on their own all the time, but the fact that they, you know, from the 70s, it surprises me that they are not dealt with, like once a year, nobody's come forward in a year,
Starting point is 00:59:58 say even five years, nobody's come forward in five years. And then you get a spray. Brinkled somewhere beautiful, whatever, like that surprises me that 70, yeah, that, like 50 years ago is a long time to be stored somewhere in a funeral home and fuck, they're, I mean, they're moving funeral homes. Who the fuck is going to buy that? Would you ever buy a funeral home? I don't think funeral homes are haunted because my theory is you don't, um, places that will be haunted, it would be like tragic accidents, murders. I don't know, because maybe they are. Maybe if that's where their remains are. Well, maybe they just visit their remains.
Starting point is 01:00:40 But if you were murdered, like, because that wouldn't make any sense, if you're, like, same as I don't really think grave sites are haunted. I think, yes, they might visit their bodies, but I don't think they're haunted in the sense that if you're murdered, for example, say you murder me tonight here, then bitch is sticking around to piss you off. I'm not going to follow my ashes round. That makes more sense to me. especially when you hear like oh 10 people were killed in this house and it's extremely haunted
Starting point is 01:01:08 that makes sense not that you're going to follow your body you might visit your body and whatever because you might be allowed to if you're stuck with your body and you don't know where you should be wouldn't be insane with your body sounds like the safest but surely then there wouldn't be haunted places if that was the case do you see what I'm saying But this is my whole theory about you have no idea what happens and why people visit their bodies and why
Starting point is 01:01:39 do you know what I mean? I mean the story is sad but also beautiful that the mum was like absolutely not. Yeah I have to admit we haven't gone very spooky spooky skeletons. Although we have Oh I did a scary one Yeah I feel like um
Starting point is 01:01:55 I did one with a lady in an arm But we thought we decided She'd saved them Yeah, I feel like it's because we've got the finale coming up and that's going to be quite deep, that I didn't really look for deep, deep ones tonight. But it's all relative, it's all Halloween. It's all.
