You've seen something. Heard something. Felt something you can't put into words. Rae Nowack and Luke Adams want to hear it... live, every Thursday night on 91.1 FM WGEL, Brakensville Community College Radio.
Call in. Tell your story. You're not the only one.
00:10
Welcome in, dear listeners. You are now listening to the Overnight Radio Hour on WGLE 91.1 FM. This is your hour to tell your spookiest and unexplainable stories from all around Brackensville. I'm one of your hosts, Rae. And I'm Luke. The line's hot, so sit back and take a listen, because the truth is on the air.
00:44
And we're back for episode two. Welcome in, listeners, to the spookiest and scariest show this side of the Chattahoochee River. This is, of course, the Overnight Radio Hour, and I'm your host, Rae.
00:58
And I'm your host, Luke. Thank you for being here. Aren't you excited that we're back? I legitimately can't believe we're back doing this. Well, of course. We had so much good feedback from the last episode. Yeah, we had so many normal callers calling in. We had a lot of good feedback on the last episode. I even had a guy come up to me in the Publix saying he liked our episode.
01:22
People haven't been coming up to me. Well, maybe you should be a bit more...
01:27
Excitable.
01:29
Ecstatic. I can be super excited. Yeah, like that, Luke. That's what they want to hear from you. That's what the people want to hear is these two kooks talking about just some random stuff going on around town, around Brackensville. Exactly. See, you're getting it now. The most exciting town on this side of the Chattahoochee River. We are pretty exciting.
01:51
Yeah. I mean, we're here. Don't you hear how excited I am to be doing this? Yeah, but... I'm overjoyed. I can see your face, Luke. Well, not the listener. Hello, listener. Welcome back to the Overnight Radio Hour. Okay, well, you told me before we started recording that you might have a story before we get some more callers, and I want to hear it.
02:14
I do have something that happened that I think is somewhat interesting of note that we can start this off with. I haven't even heard it yet. I'm so excited.
02:26
This was a long time ago, like I'm, I don't know, 8, 9, 10 or so. I'm 22 now, for reference, for anyone wondering how spry I am.
02:38
There used to be this park in the summers that my dad would take me to.
02:43
We liked to go outside a lot, and he would play basketball in this section where the courts were, and I would play by the park, because the park is where the slides are, and you guys know it's at a park, it's fine. But one day I was on the swing set, and this couple came up and they started talking to me.
03:02
There was a man, there was a woman, and they had a black stroller. I don't know if there was a baby in it, come to think of it, because it was always faced away from me, which I think is interesting. But this may have been like a normal interaction.
03:20
but eventually interactions actually, but something fell off or sort of dreamlike and not just because I was eight.
03:29
Even at that age, I remember being able to pick up on it being sort of strange.
03:35
The man was wearing blue jeans and a red-white plaid checkered shirt. He was like the American flag.
03:44
Uh, but he looked odd. Like, he was kind of clammy and pale. Uh, like... Like, sickly? Yeah, like, jaundiced or gray. Like, uh, I don't know. Like, he had, like, the, like, the live sucked out of him or something. It was kind of weird. Vampires? Like, no. Okay, sorry. I don't like vampires. But, uh...
04:06
Yeah, just very strange. And his eyes were, like, very piercing, very penetrating. Like, they saw right through you. And the woman, she had on this, like, I think it was, like, a medium-length dress. It was brown hair. And I don't remember her face. Like, as hard as I try. And I have, like, a good...
04:29
photographic memory always have, I do not remember this lady's face. Like it's just, it's erased from my mind.
04:36
But she looked more normal. It was the only thing I remember at that age. Remembering from the situation was the guy was like way more odd looking and then she was more normal.
04:47
The guy, his hair was like a blonde, ashy, like Ken's hair from Barbie. Like Barbie hair? Like artificial plastic hair. And it's like sticky up, lots of flyaways, excuse me, and like a bowl cut.
05:08
Not the type of hair like a man, like maybe a boy would.
05:12
Like a childlike hairstyle? Yeah, like a child, like a Lego child hairstyle, like a Euro Danish plastic haircut. And I don't know what we talked about, but it revolved around like God and religion and was a fairly short interaction i mean 10 minutes or so i was i was swinging uh the weirder part is i saw them later at a different park at a different day could have been weeks months once again i was like nine uh but they were in the exact same outfits with the exact same stroller well having a stroller kind of makes sense but the outfit's weird i mean yeah, I mean, weeks, months, sure, you can have a stroller for that long, maybe they have another child, whatever, but the guy's still dressed like the American flag, and the lady is still in this dress, and just, what, what are the odds, I, I just remember thinking, like, huh, they're like cartoon people, like, you know, in cartoons, they always had the same outfits, it was like that, which I just, I, I just picked up on that, and, um,
06:22
Yeah, it looked like only five minutes had passed. Also kind of like a cartoon character like they like they don't age.
06:30
They don't seem any different. The environment didn't affect them. Just completely different location at a different time and they look the same and I can remember feeling this.
06:41
Apprehension this off feeling. That.
06:47
They weren't like human.
06:51
Maybe.
06:53
I don't know. I mean, they were probably human, just not a good, you know.
07:03
And, like, what do you think if they, like, if you're saying they are human, then what do you think, who would they be if they were human? Because I'm thinking that we maybe got some aliens on our hands. I don't know about that. Come on. They always describe aliens as, like, European. Yeah. Yeah.
07:21
Give us a sec. We have a caller coming. Oh, we have a call. All right, caller, can you hear us?
07:29
Yeah, yeah.
07:30
Awesome. What's your name, and what do you got to say? Jimmy, Jimmy, hi.
07:38
Hi, Jimmy. Hi, Jimmy.
07:44
I've seen those envoys in the park. Many a time, I see them.
07:51
I stay there a lot, and they're everywhere. They're artificial envoys of doom.
08:01
They have a porcelain wash over their skins. They speak of gods, but they burn like wretches.
08:07
There's no baby in the stroller. There's no baby. They have nothing. They are pure wretches.
08:14
Wait, sorry, Jimmy, so what do you mean you stay in the park?
08:20
What are you asking?
08:23
When do I stay in the park? Why do you stay in the park, or is that what you said?
08:27
Yeah, yeah, I stay all over town. I don't really have, I don't have a residency. Oh, I'm sorry. It's cool.
08:42
So, what do you mean? Envoys? Like, what? They speak of gods, but they're not.
08:52
What are they? They're... I don't know, but they're not holy. They're... They're sheer... They're... They don't make sense, but they appear.
09:07
They have no eyes, but they see you. They're...
09:13
I see them all over in, like, the three parks that I reside in. I... And they're always wearing those same damn clothes. It's... It's like they're tormenting me.
09:28
Do they talk to you ever? Mm-hmm. What do they say?
09:36
They... They ask me of, like, the permanence of this mortal coil and how...
09:42
I'd like to escape it. And then they try to beckon me.
09:46
They try to beckon me to more secluded areas of the park, but... I just... I just... I can't. They're... They feel so wrong. You... You okay there, Jimmy?
10:00
Hmm? You okay there? I'm... That's... What?
10:08
Are you okay, Jimmy?
10:10
I'm fine. I'm fine.
10:13
So they come up to you in these envoys of doom, I think you said you called them? They come up to you in the park and they want to take you somewhere secluded to do what with you?
10:28
I don't know.
10:29
Is it always the same two people? And they're not baby, you said? In the parks, mostly. It's mostly them. But that's the only time I've ever truly interacted with the wretches. Oh, they're called the wretches.
10:48
Or is that what you call them? I... They don't... Whatever I feel in the moment, you know, I don't really... Oh.
11:02
Right. Right, Jimmy. Uh... So, like, did they say their names or where they're from or, like, what their end goal is ever?
11:12
No, no. The way that they talk just seems very, like, presently based. They only really seem to – they ask you very, like, present-oriented questions, like, what are you doing here? Like, who do you believe? Where do you go? Like, those kind of questions.
11:31
Yeah. Right. Right.
11:35
Interesting. Well, so they're always at the three parks?
11:43
I don't know if they're at more, but that's where I always see them.
11:47
And it's usually not every day, but a few times a month, I'd say.
11:54
What kind of gods do they serve? You said that they serve multiple, I think, if I can remember correctly. Yeah.
12:04
I don't know, but they lure you in with the gods that you already know, but they're not the gods they speak of. Oh. That's interesting.
12:21
So, Luke, do you think they think what you saw were these envoys? No, no.
12:30
I don't know. My dad always said they were like, they were angels.
12:35
And like that, that freaked me out. But I mean, they're, I don't know, maybe, maybe they're just like poor and they just have one outfit, you know, like it could. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, people are, I am, I'm poor and I only, and I don't have an outfit and I don't wear the same thing every day.
12:52
I bet they have more than me and I wear, and I wear more than they do. All right. All right. All right. Well, thanks, Jimmy. Thanks for that insight. We'll talk to you later. Make sure to call any local, Resources, if you need help out there. Wish you the best.
13:08
Okay.
13:11
Wow.
13:12
That was really something.
13:14
But, uh... No, these... First of all, the whole eyeless... They had eyes. Oh, they had eyes? They were people. I think he probably meant it, like... More metaphorically, like eyeless. I don't know, right? I mean... He's crazy.
13:31
I mean, like... Yeah, but if he's at the park all the time, he may see things that we don't. You know, there may be some truth in what he's saying. Oh, I'm sure he's seeing things all right. Luke.
13:43
Sorry. We can't make presumptions about him. They're not presum... I mean, I'm just saying, like... Is he that guy that we saw the other day?
13:51
Oh, by the, uh... Shoot. And, like, that graffitied alley?
13:57
Yeah, yeah. Oh.
14:00
I wonder if it... I mean...
14:02
I would check out. Yeah.
14:05
I don't see. See, this is this is like this is stupid. It was it was stupid to bring this up because. It was it was just nothing. I was a kid.
14:16
Well, I was a kid. I mean, you were a kid, but things can still happen to kids that are weird. And like you obviously remember it now and it had an effect on you. And your dad obviously thinks it's something weird.
14:27
Maybe. He, like, doesn't bring it up. I'm like, I don't... I just thought it was going to be, like, a time killer, really. But... Oh. I mean, sorry. That's not what I meant. I just... You know, like, I don't know. It was something. But I don't really think it's anything.
14:46
Jimmy thought it was something.
14:48
Yeah, Jimmy thinks a lot of stuff. Well, we have to go to break now. I think we're at time.
14:56
Did you say, God, well, I know him by everything you say and do? Did you say, God, well, I've seen him every time I look at you? He's touched you with his love and with his truth. Don't look any further. You are his proof.

This hand in your hand, your hand in my hand, can you hear the music sing? Sisters and brothers loving each other, we're gonna make a better day. This message is brought to you by Religion in American Life. You're about to hear a radio first. We found a way to get a small man with a tiny microphone actually inside someone's brain. You ready yet, Howard? Not quite. While we're waiting, now's a good time to tell you why we're doing all this. We've picked this person because he's been extremely careless with fire in the forest. He's walked away from campfires, he's tossed lit cigarettes out his car window, and he's never, ever careful with burning debris. He's caused a number of forest fires and doesn't even know it.
16:23
Norman? Yes, Howard? I think he's there. There's nothing up here. Nothing? Nothing at all. It's like a handball court. Empty and dark. I don't like it here one little bit. I'm leaving. You've just heard a radio first. Most forest fires are started by people who just don't seem to have a brain. Remember, only you... Wait, I'll do that.
16:45
Only you can prevent forest fires. A public service of this station, the Smokey Bear Program, and the Ad Council.
16:58
And we're back. You're listening to the Overnight Radio Hour on WGLE 91.1 FM. I'm your host, Ray, and I'm with... Luke. Luke, yay! We just had an interesting fella call in, but we are quickly moving past that.
17:17
Now to our next caller. Just give us one sec. Our next caller. Hello.
17:23
Hello. Hello. What is our caller's name? My name's Jack.
17:28
Thank you guys for, you know, picking up. Yeah. So, what's your weird, unexplained paranormal story for us tonight?
17:38
Well, to tell you the truth, guys, it's about my girlfriend, Thea.
17:42
It's kind of... Well, it'll make sense if I explain it. You see, my girlfriend, Thea, decided to go hiking today. And, you know, I should have gone with her, but every time I go with her, I always slow her down. So, I don't know. I just...
17:58
Anyway, usually she's only gone for like two hours or so, but now she's been gone almost four, and I'm considering calling the police. You know, she should have been home by now. Sorry, I guess I just didn't really know what else to do. No, it's okay. I understand. That's scary. So what else has happened?
18:19
Well, here, I have some texts from today, if you like. I can read some of them off. Yeah, if you're willing. It's weird. It's like... It's just, there's something off about it. You'll see.
18:31
I guess I could start at the beginning. Around 2.30 today, I texted her and I asked if she'd seen anything cool. You know, nothing really particular. But she responded with a photo of her, or rather, she told me that she was going to send a photo when she got to the waterfall, so I just decided to start making dinner.
18:53
And, you know, after that exchange, you know, she was hiking, so I didn't really thinking anything of it. So we didn't have any texts between each other for like an hour.
19:03
So, you know, I just kind of did my own thing. And then finally, around four, she finally sends me the text. And she found the waterfall. And below the text was a selfie she sent to go along with it.
19:18
And so I'm looking at this photo and, you know, standing under a waterfall. She's smiling. Her arms are crossed.
19:28
you know she's wearing the earrings the turquoise ones I got her on her first anniversary and so I guess I didn't think anything wrong at the time and I just texted her back but you know the more I looked at it the more something about this photo just like bothered me you know I saw the same face I know and you know her blue eyes her thick curly hair but like
19:57
And I noticed her arms were clearly crossed. You know, she wasn't holding the phone herself. There was no way. There was no way she could have taken the photo. What if she just, like, propped it up on a tree or something, the timer, you know?
20:11
So I thought the same thing, but then she couldn't have taken the photo.
20:15
Her phone doesn't have the timer feature on it. It's a long story, but she's not very into a lot of the newer phones. So I knew it couldn't have been that.
20:28
So I don't know. And so I asked her, I said, you know, who took that photo?
20:33
And she didn't reply right away. So, again, I sound crazy right now.
20:40
I thought I was being crazy. And so I just, you know, I put my phone down and I went on with my day. I started making dinner. I put the thought in the back of my mind of any anxiety. I mean, it could have just been a friendly other hiker, you know, helping her take a photo.
20:58
Maybe, I guess. I don't know.
21:02
Call me paranoid, but my last girlfriend, she cheated on me. I'm sorry. So even just knowing someone, okay, even just knowing someone took the photo and the fact that she wasn't responding, especially before she responded to the others so promptly, like normally she's fine, I don't know. It just, it was off. If you knew Thea, you would know it was off.
21:28
So anyway, I was cooking. I don't remember. Cutting onions, I think.
21:35
And then I just could not get this out of my mind. So about 45 minutes later, I went upstairs and I checked my phone. And I was so relieved. It was crazy. She sent me another text.
21:49
I think it was, let's see. Yeah, it was 4.53 p.m.
21:54
And she said, thinking of you with a winky face emoticon, you know, where you use like a semicolon and an outer parenthesis. Yeah, classic. The classic, right, exactly.
22:07
And so, well, it would be, but Sia doesn't normally send emotes like that. A GIF, sure, but still not this. So it was still weird.
22:23
And so I responded to her, and she sent another text. And this time she used the heart symbol, where it's like a less than symbol and then a three, which, again, she doesn't really do that.
22:38
So that was more my thing, I guess. I don't know. I just decided to let it go at the time. But anyway, it was weird.
22:51
So... Gosh, where was I at this time?
22:55
That's right. I was playing StarCraft, I think.
22:58
And I was playing for a while, so I wasn't actually paying too much attention. But I was finally interrupted by my phone pinging, and I picked it up immediately. And it was Thea, finally. At this point, it was 5.30, I'd say. And she told me that she was on her way back.
23:17
And then she sent me an image.
23:19
And it was, again, another selfie. Except this time, she was holding the phone, thank God. I could see her arm in the lower part of the frame, so nothing really kind of screamed suspicion right on the outset. And so I started to feel relieved, but I started to text her that the dinner was almost ready, and I was kind of just so happy that I was making myself go crazy over nothing.
23:52
And then once again, I noticed something. Again.
23:56
In the same photo, the one where she's taking a selfie, just at the very edge of the screen, there was something in, like, the fallen leaves on the ground. It was a shadow.
24:09
Really close to her. Like, I don't know, a few feet. Someone immediately offscreen from her.
24:15
And so now at this point, it's after six, and I'm way back into feeling anxious again. And...
24:23
You know, I've just been sitting here for about time, racking my brain, trying to figure out what's going on with her. Because if you knew her, this is not normal. And I've been calling her, and I've been getting just nothing.
24:39
Oh, wait, I'm sorry. She just texted me back. Oh.
24:48
She said, I'm going to be home late, period.
24:52
Sorry, period. I love you. And then another heart with the less than in three.
25:00
Sweet. I don't know. I don't think she's the one that sent that text.
25:12
Well, maybe she'll be home soon, you know? Maybe she just got caught up in the fun of, you know, our local parks. Yeah.
25:20
Well, thank you, Jack, for calling in. That's certainly interesting. Yeah, we thank you. Listen, we're taking callers any moment. We're about to go.
25:35
Thank you, Jack, for calling in. We're about to go to break, right, Luke? Yes.
25:41
Sorry.
25:43
Phone. All the phones got the timer feature, though.
25:48
Like about the photo. The timer feature? Yeah, to, like, take that photo. I mean, he said that her phone didn't work, you know? I mean, I know computers, and I don't know. She's got to have, like, a really old... I don't know if I buy that. I don't know. I think he needs to take a...
26:12
Maybe, Jake, maybe you just gotta take a chill pill. I don't, I don't know. I know I've been, you know, hiking a lot, and sometimes you just get caught up in the beauty of it, and you're just trying to send some quick text out.
26:23
You know, there's a lot of friendly hikers on the woods. Maybe she got someone to take that photo. And for the shadow, you know,
26:30
There's many things in those woods. Who knows? Who knows what's out there?
26:34
You know? And maybe you have some, you, dear listener, maybe have some fun stories about the woods yourself. Some spooky or weird experiences. 334-844-9345. That's, once again, the call in at 334-844-9345. Once again, I want to thank Jack right before we go to our ad break.
26:58
Did you ever listen to a tree? Here, listen to this and see if you can pick out which one is the tree.
27:06
Could you hear it? Listen again. It's right there.
27:12
Did you get it? Now listen to the same tree after a forest fire.
27:17

Welcome back. You are listening to the Overnight Radio Hour on WGLE 91.1 FM.
28:25
We're taking callers at 334-844-9345. Once again, that's 334-844-9345. Call in with your spookiest or weirdest stories. We just had a good one. Jack calling in about his girlfriend, you know? Yeah, just wondering about that girl. Hope she's doing all right up there on the hike. It's pretty. It's pretty. We have, over the break, we have been thinking, you know, what that could...
28:56
You know, if we should do something.
29:00
I mean, if Jack doesn't think he should do something, like call the police, then I don't think he should. You know, what if it's just something weird that happens? You know, sometimes you go out late. Mm-hmm.
29:13
You know, or maybe, you know, maybe he's right. You know, maybe she isn't acting all herself for some reason or another.
29:25
What are you saying?
29:26
I'm not putting down any hard theories. This is a real thing that's happening. But, you know, sometimes... I mean, you've heard the stories.
29:39
You know? Sometimes... I've heard a lot of stories. What are you getting at here? Sometimes people, you know, aren't the same people sometimes.
29:54
What, like... Like, they grow up? Like, their personality changes? Maybe. I mean, maybe... Maybe something happened and she's not the same.
30:04
What... What is she? I don't know. I don't know. I'm just... What is she? What would it... Luke, I'm just spitballing here. I'm... I'm... The dear listeners want to know. What... What is... What's going through your mind? Listen, I'm just saying that if Jack doesn't think she's... You know...
30:25
Thea, then maybe it's not Thea.
30:28
And if that means that she's in trouble because of someone got a hold of her phone, then maybe that's the story here. And maybe he should contact the police.
30:38
Maybe.
30:39
But if he knows his girlfriend better than I do, I don't know if it's Thea. Maybe she's, maybe she's, yeah, maybe she's kidding that. Maybe she might, she might be, there might be, there might be some lurker, some creeper out there, uh...
30:54
Yeah, I mean, Jack, if you're still there pausing the StarCraft game, buddy, I think I might give the authorities a ring. I might do a little check-in, get those park rangers up there to check up on Thea.
31:10
It's something. I mean, but what are they going to do? They don't do anything. What are they going to call the mimic police? I'm not saying that, Luke.
31:20
I'm just... I didn't say that. I'm just saying, I mean, this sounds a little serious, and I think it might be good if... Maybe... I'm not saying you shouldn't call the police. I'm just saying that... I'm just throwing it out there, you know? I think... I don't know. I'm worried. She might be kidnapped. You hear about that, you know.
31:46
Your mom ever talk about that? The milk carton? The milk carton? Yeah. What year is it, Luke? 1990? No.

But I'm just saying that that did happen. I mean, it's a plausible explanation. If I were Jack, I would highly suggest that he gets in contact with the BPD and tries to get this going, because, I mean, that sounds a little strange. I might look into that, you know? I think it's strange, too. Yeah, but you don't mean what you're all that. What do you mean I don't mean it?
32:31
Come on, I mean, I'm sorry, I just refuse, I'm refusing.
32:39
no no no no i think i don't know it's all full of it it's all it's all stories it's all um you know stuff that people shout on the street corner you know you look past those people i mean but this is this is like a real thing that happens this is real this is real yeah he should contact the authorities if that's what he thinks he should do And if you have a story listener like Jax or like Sam's or like Garrett's or any of our dear callers, then you can call us at 334-844-9345.

35:38
Welcome back. You're listening to the Overnight Radio Hour here on WGLE here in Brackensville. Luke and Ray joined here as always. And we're moving right along throughout the show. And we have another caller lined up. Hello, caller. What's going on? Hey, what's up? My name's Troy. I'm a longtime caller, first-time listener.
36:00
Just kidding. No, my employee was talking about this show the other day.
36:06
And I have a story I just kind of wanted to call in and say my piece. Oh, awesome. Yeah, man, let's go for it.
36:13
Yeah, okay. Well, yeah, whatever. So I was meeting up with a buddy of mine, old buddy, for dinner. It was Saturday, early evening. And we decided to go to a movie downtown. Like, at this time, downtown is not, like, super busy. But, like, on a Saturday, you'd expect a few more people there than there were.
36:36
Anyways, the movie theater, it's across from a public building with a bathroom. It's super nice, so we decided to go there first. It has some loft apartments, everything, and I saw this dude in the lobby, and he was just looking straight down at his phone.
36:51
He was maybe like 5'10", something like that, and I guess he has a super regular body, right? He wasn't like fat or skinny, just kind of a normal-looking dude.
37:02
I couldn't really see his face, but I noticed him when we were walking into the lobby from the bathroom, and he walked at a, like, don't hold the door distance away from us, and also went to the movies. So from the get, he was already, like, kind of weird, you know, this weird dude, but just, like, shrugged it off, whatever, who cares, there were weird people at the movies here. um but uh yeah me and my friend we get to the movie and we sit in the top middle seats for this and about five rows down there was an older couple and the rest of the room was completely empty it was just us um and then the dude from earlier he comes in he's still staring down at his phone and it was so weird like i i could not make out his face i kept looking i could not make out his face at all um even though his phone was super bright um
37:52
Yeah, I wasn't trying to stare at him or anything. I just, you know, kind of freaky dude. I didn't want anything to happen. I didn't want to get kidnapped or something. And he seemed pretty close to our age. He was like 19, 22, something, but, you know, you really never know.
38:05
Anyway, he comes into this empty movie theater, and he sits in our row at the very far left end, which is arguably a pretty terrible spot, especially with so many options in there. He sat there, and he just proceeded to continue staring at his phone, brightness on full max for the entire length of the movie. And at this point, I'm getting a little nosy. I'm like, what's so important for this guy to be staring at his phone? Sue me. But I was looking over at him,
38:35
And just kind of glancing to see what was going on. And it was just a bright white screen.
38:42
He wasn't clicking on anything or playing anything or doing anything. He was just holding his phone like that was it, staring at the screen. It was weird. But anyways, the movie ends. We go to leave, and I'm holding the door for the older couple, and he's behind them. So I decide to stay holding the door for just a little longer, kind of see this guy. And as he gets closer, he looks up at me. You know, I smile, and I don't want to be courteous. And his face looked regular at first, you know, like normal. He was a good-looking dude.
39:13
But when he smiled, his smile changed very quickly into, like, his whole face. Like, it was such a huge smile, it did not feel real at all.
39:28
Not in like a creepy movie way, just someone with a big mouth. It looked not human.
39:34
And his eyes flashed like, I don't know, they were just different. Weird.
39:40
I guess my face looked shocked. I kind of feel bad about that, I don't want to freak him out, but then his eyes went straight back to normal. Um...
39:50
and uh he looked normal but his facial expression was like he was embarrassed or caught or like i'd caught him i don't know didn't want me to see that and he uh he looked back down at his phone and continued to walk past me straight through the door um so you know i followed him as he walked around me at a door meaning i did like like a 270 kind of turn uh around to watch him walk away um but by that time he'd already just disappeared like he was gone like uh i'm saying he was very close to me as we were walking out and then when i spun around he was gone and and we were in a pretty fairly quiet downtown you know there weren't that many people there and even if this dude started like running there was no alley he could have gone to there's nowhere he could have gone at all to just disappear like that uh and i would have seen him running or whatever but you know i even kept like walking around i walked away as
40:46
trying to see if he hid behind a parked car or something. There were only like two cars out there, but, you know, I was just looking around. Nowhere to be seen. It's the weirdest thing ever. I don't really, I don't know how to explain it. It's been freaking me out. Yeah, that's my story.
41:03
Well, that's crazy.
41:06
Yeah, that's quite the event happened to you at the movies. What movie were you seeing?
41:15
It was, I don't really want to say, but it was like a new Minions movie. You know, I kind of like those. They're fun.
41:22
No, that's respectable. No, it's respectable. I mean, he had to be some inhuman to have his phone on full brightness in the movie theater. That's really rude of him to do that. Yeah. It was like, he just didn't seem like a normal dude at all. And his face, I don't know, it's been freaking me out. I've been having trouble sleeping. Like, I just don't really know what to do about it, so. yeah whatever well cool man thanks for calling in we're gonna move on throughout the show uh sorry that happened to you and i hope you get some better sleep yeah thanks for calling in uh and stay keep that dial tuned and all that good stuff uh with your with your totally totally wild story um what if what if that was like a vampire what if it was
