Bridgewater is a production of iHeartRadio

0:02

three D audio and Grim and Mild from

0:04

Aaron Mankey for full exposure,

0:06

listen with headphones. Listener

0:09

discretion advised. Oh

0:14

my god, I'm getting tired of running

0:17

through the woods away from monsters.

0:20

Jeremy, how did you? I

0:23

mean you just I don't

0:27

know I did that? Did

0:30

that really just happen? I guess

0:32

yeah it did. Welcome to the club of people

0:34

with evidence of the paranormal. This

0:39

is unbelievable. It is

0:41

a lot to take in. We've

0:44

been dealing with it for a week now, and

0:47

I don't think we've even begun to process it. I

0:49

mean, those are those were thunderbirds, like

0:52

real thunderbirds. I'm not sure

0:54

about that. Actually, what do you mean? They

0:56

were enormous birds who brought

0:58

thunder and lightning with them.

1:00

Thunderbirds are sacred protectors in Wampanog

1:03

legend. They mostly attack creatures from the underworld

1:06

or people who broke moral rules. It

1:08

doesn't make sense that they'd attack us.

1:11

Not to mention the face of one of them, it looked,

1:13

well, it looked a little too human, didn't it.

1:16

Maybe our shape shifter has a greater range

1:18

than we thought. Impandulu the

1:20

Pandulu the lightning bird from South

1:22

African myth. That bird also creates

1:25

lightning, but it's considered much more

1:27

malevolent. Right. It's vampiric,

1:30

isn't it, And it can disguise itself as human. Maybe it

1:32

was in the middle of transformation or something, or

1:35

maybe it was a thunderbird and it was simply

1:37

trying to protect its domain. I don't know that's

1:39

possible too. Yeah,

1:41

maybe if it had a human mouth

1:43

along with those claws, that could be our

1:45

cow killer. Well, whatever it was, we better

1:48

hope that it went back into the forest and not farther

1:50

out looking for dinner. Okay,

1:52

so we

1:55

need to know how to take

1:57

it down if we encounter it again. I'd

1:59

say you did pretty well on that score. I

2:02

mean, I can't believe it actually worked.

2:04

I know, right, Holy

2:08

shit, did I just do? Imagine? I think

2:10

you did. Wow,

2:14

that's amazing. What room

2:16

exactly? Was that one

2:19

for protection? Not banishment? I

2:21

guess that's maybe the best way to protect against

2:24

them. Well, it didn't get rid of all of them,

2:26

so maybe one of these rooms Peyton gave me

2:28

will do that. Oh wait, no, don't

2:30

banish them all? What wouldn't

2:33

you want to study it, show it

2:35

to the world, prove that monsters actually exist. Peyton

2:39

made it very clear that keeping

2:41

the secrets of the phayrealm is vital.

2:44

Think about the kind of chaos that would ensue

2:46

if if people the phayrealm. You

2:48

didn't tell her it

2:51

hadn't come up yet, sop

2:55

and I think that this all,

2:58

all of this has been the work of the realm.

3:00

That the Bridgewater Triangle is

3:04

a gate from this world to

3:06

theirs, and that that's

3:08

where all of these creatures are coming from. WHOA,

3:11

yeah, and look, not many people know this, so

3:13

you cannot tell the other legend

3:15

trippers. Okay, yeah,

3:17

Mum's the word. So we've been working on closing

3:20

the gate. And there's this whole deal that's

3:22

been in place, I guess for centuries.

3:24

That explains some of the missing people

3:26

throughout the years. And it seems like with the old

3:28

Bridgewater Gathering more or

3:30

less now defunct, it's

3:34

maybe up to us to fix it. That's what you're doing.

3:37

You're not just doing research for your class.

3:40

By the way, I am really a professor.

3:42

It just happened to be a professor who's actually

3:45

gotten in very over his

3:48

head. Wow, you

3:50

know, like an os goot, Indiana Jones. This

3:54

isn't a movie, Okay, it's real

3:56

life, is our lives? Look,

3:59

I didn't mean so if there's anything

4:01

you know that you're not telling us, you really

4:04

need to what. No, I'm not hiding

4:06

anything from you, guys. I wouldn't

4:08

do that. I mean I want

4:10

to help. I like to think I already

4:12

have. She has. I

4:15

think we're covered. You

4:17

know as well as I how expansive all these

4:19

legends are, how unreliable

4:22

and vague they can be. I

4:24

know your experts, but it seems

4:26

like maybe we each have gaps in knowledge that

4:28

the other ones can fill. Just

4:31

let me help. She knows how to help.

4:33

I can't hurt, and we

4:35

would have been torn to shreds if she hadn't

4:37

taught me that room.

4:40

I guess. Okay,

4:43

we should go over to the Hoskins and meet up with everyone

4:45

else, Olivia said, she and Thomas.

4:47

We're going to try and get Lee's old radio working.

4:50

All right, let's see if the coast

4:53

is clear. Stuck

5:03

what I don't know? I can't can't.

5:06

I can't get the door knob to turn

5:10

that h happen?

5:13

Can you everything is unlocked.

5:16

I don't know what's Uh, do you want me to give it a try?

5:18

Yeah? Sure, go for it. Yeah,

5:21

let's up. Oh it feels like it's

5:23

like here, let me help. It's

5:26

like someone is pulling from the other side. What

5:29

we're trapped? Oh

6:11

my god, we're not through all the

6:13

stations yet. We've been at this for

6:15

forty five minutes and nothing.

6:18

I don't know that we're ever going to find something. FM

6:20

didn't have anything. But that doesn't mean am

6:22

well, wow, you have the patience of a saint.

6:26

Yeah, I kind of had to oh

6:27

shit, right, sorry, Oh

6:30

it's okay. How's your chest? Because

6:33

you sound a little would you stop

6:35

hovering? I'm okay, okay, okay.

6:38

It's just if you're having anxiety

6:40

about this whole thing, and I can handle it on my own.

6:43

What with the shallow breathing tightness

6:45

in the chest. Look, I have friends with anxiety,

6:47

and I don't get anxious. It is

6:49

understandable. I mean, we're trying to tune into

6:51

the place where you were trapped, I know, and

6:54

I just want to find it. You

6:56

know you're safe here, right, Thomas,

7:00

No, I'm

7:02

not, but I'm

7:04

not anxious. This

7:07

It's been happening every couple of hours today.

7:10

It's always something something what

7:13

I don't belong

7:16

here, Olivia,

7:18

which is why I need to figure this out. Wait,

7:21

go back, stop stop stuff there?

7:25

That that that's the music,

7:27

Nan and I heard when the house went nuts? What

7:30

what station is this? Nine

7:33

twelves? What? How's

7:35

that possible? Hey?

7:41

How's it going in here? Hey? Are you

7:43

okay? Yeah? And

7:46

Shelley? Yeah, picking up

7:48

some food for all of us. I think she needed some time

7:50

to herself. But we're you know, I don't

7:52

know. I don't think that things

7:54

are broken beyond repair. So good

7:57

good, Yeah, but I'm sure

7:59

she love to talk with you at some point tonight, So

8:02

really i'd love that. Okay. So hi,

8:04

Nana. I can't find any

8:06

evidence that this particular station

8:08

has ever been registered anywhere. Wait

8:12

is that music? I know? Station

8:14

nine twelve on AM radio? I

8:16

mean no idea who owns the frequency or

8:18

where the broadcast is coming from?

8:21

Yeah? I thought all AM stations ended

8:23

in zero? Yeah they do. So

8:26

what this is some kind of pirate radio? More

8:28

likely magic radio? Now

8:31

what we wait

8:34

for a voice? See if Alden

8:37

is still trying to call out? You

8:39

said you thought that music was coming from the

8:41

other side, not the liminal.

8:44

So maybe there's another station that's tapped into the

8:46

in between, or things

8:49

are so thin between worlds that the

8:51

other side is bleeding through and

8:54

drowning everything else out. Ah,

9:03

okay, so we're stuck magic,

9:08

some kind of creature a run

9:10

maybe, whatever it

9:13

is. I don't think getting out of here

9:15

is going to be easy. What the fuck?

9:18

Why is it dark all of a sudden, and

9:21

what's what the fuck? I'm a little more focused

9:24

on the fact that everything seems to be moving. It's

9:26

like we're looking through a fun house mirror. What the hell

9:28

is that? I thought maybe it was

9:30

old glass. No, that's

9:33

definitely just what the outside looks like

9:35

now, and

9:38

that's not a way out either. Not the

9:40

going outside is particularly appealing at the moment.

9:43

Sh do you do

9:45

you hear that it's music? I

9:48

wonder if that's the same as that

9:50

has to be right. I totally

9:52

get what Olivia meant by wrong now.

9:55

It doesn't really sound like music is

9:57

supposed to. What are you guys

9:59

talking about? The woman who lives here

10:01

and she and her granddaughter heard music

10:03

the other day when the house was shaking an earthquake,

10:06

we don't think so if those incidents

10:08

were the veil between worlds and Freetown force

10:10

getting weaker on the other realm bleeding through, then

10:12

and we might be inside the liminal now,

10:15

oh god, Okay, okay,

10:17

everybody, stay calm. We'll find our way

10:19

out of this. Okay, She's right, she's right. Maybe

10:21

we just need to wait it out. Eventually, whatever weird

10:23

force was coming out of Freetown making everything

10:26

quiet, it did retreat before, right, So

10:28

it's it's almost like a tide that goes in and

10:30

out. So where we just sit here and wait for it to

10:32

go out again. Well, I don't know. I

10:34

just think we need to keep our heads.

10:36

Okay, what exactly did you do with that run?

10:39

What? Everything was completely

10:42

normal until you showed up, Vip,

10:44

And I was the one who did the run. No,

10:47

no, not that one, the one that she carved

10:49

right before everything went to shit. I

10:51

don't get while you're trusting her, Jeremy, you barely

10:54

know, aren't. She was clearly stalking you. Oh

10:56

who woa, whoa whoa. I'm just trying to help,

10:59

And oh exactly do you think you're

11:01

helping? You? Say? Peyton

11:03

made a mistake with the ruin, but the moment you carved

11:06

it, those things attacked us and then this happened.

11:08

Look, I'm not I'm not trying to disturp your position

11:11

here or anything. Excuse me. Look,

11:13

I get it. You've been Jeremy's tea for

11:15

a long time and you're used to being his right hand

11:17

man. I'm not trying to take that from you.

11:20

Who exactly do you think you

11:23

are? Okay? Okay, okay, okay, why why

11:25

don't we all this? Can? Can? Can

11:27

we all just take a deep breath here? Yeah?

11:30

Yeah, yeah, that's a that's a

11:32

good idea. I'm just gonna,

11:34

well, I can't get some fresh air,

11:36

so I'm just gonna

11:40

jesus, I'm so sorry. I've

11:43

never seen rip and do

11:45

anything like that before. It's

11:48

okay, I mean we're in a tough spot. I get it.

11:50

You know. I haven't been following you or

11:52

anything, right, those those first few times

11:54

we ran into each other. No, no, of

11:57

course not obviously, and you've

11:59

been a big house. Yeah.

12:01

Yeah, it's nice

12:03

to have someone around who gets this stuff and who I

12:08

don't know. This is gonna sound strange to say

12:11

at a time like this, but you've been a very calming

12:13

presence. I'm not sure Vippin would agree.

12:15

I'm not sure you would either. He's usually

12:18

very easy going. I'm I'm

12:20

sure he'll warm up to you. I think

12:22

this. I mean,

12:24

he's obviously pretty stressed

12:27

about the whole situation, and you're

12:29

not. No, I

12:32

am definitely. I

12:34

have a special personal interest in all

12:36

of this, which is that my father. My

12:40

father's Thomas Bradshaw. And I

12:43

assume, given your hobbies, you're familiar

12:45

with his name, right, Yeah, yeah,

12:47

of course I am. Oh,

12:51

holy shit, I

12:53

had no idea. I'm I'm so sorry. No,

12:55

no, it's actually actually okay,

12:58

you don't need to be sorry. What do you mean? He's

13:03

back, like alive

13:05

and back. It turns out he was never

13:08

dead at all. After all this time

13:10

he was he was stuck in

13:13

this in between space, a liminal

13:15

that's that's what you guys called it, right right, and

13:18

he was trapped there this whole time. And some kind of sacrifice

13:22

to the fae and then Celeste,

13:24

that's the old gathering leader, she did this ritual

13:26

that brought him back, except it

13:29

seems to have broken everything

13:31

else. The monsters as I see

13:33

it, the liminal is some kind of stop gap

13:35

between our world and the other one, and

13:38

without two people in there, it

13:40

stops functioning, right And you think

13:42

that's where we are right now. I think maybe

13:44

maybe it's seeping out of its usual

13:47

dimension. That's the fear of

13:49

what will happen if we don't close the gate, that the Faye

13:51

Realm will just come pouring into

13:54

our world. It's

14:00

happening again. I'm hearing myself talk

14:02

and it sounds crazy.

14:06

Well, okay, but that doesn't mean

14:08

it's not true. I mean,

14:10

I think of it this way. You just saved us from a

14:12

pretty hitchcocky in situation by waving

14:15

your hands, So that's not that absurd.

14:18

Oh gosh, okay, So all these

14:20

attacks, these monsters

14:22

there here, we think

14:25

because the gate is open, if we're

14:27

in the liminal right now, or

14:29

I guess if the liminal has come to us,

14:32

do you think we could get into the Fay

14:34

Realm. I don't know. My dad

14:37

was in there for years and never figured out how to pass

14:39

through. He tried, I don't know. I don't know what he could

14:41

have tried. Did he know about the runs about

14:43

magic? Well? I assume falling

14:46

into a different dimension made him realize that magic

14:48

was real. Yeah, but if he didn't know how to

14:50

use it, maybe

14:52

we could. Olivia did

14:54

say that she thought the music wasn't

14:56

coming from the liminal but from the other

14:59

side, So

15:01

maybe what happened

15:03

to the music? Do you

15:06

think the tie is going back out? I'm

15:09

not. I'm not sure.

15:13

What the hell what was that? I

15:16

think there's something in that

15:21

bad. Did you

15:23

guys hear that? Yeah?

15:25

The music stopped too. That can't be good,

15:27

right, Oh, maybe it means that there's more distance

15:30

between us and the other side. Maybe that that's not a

15:32

bad thing, right? What there?

15:36

Oh? Do you see something? You

15:38

don't see? There?

15:41

I don't see it. I don't see it. What is it? Are you serious?

15:44

You can't see it? That's taking up an entire wall.

15:46

Okay, Vippin, it's just calm down.

15:48

What do you see? It's it's almost in the shape of

15:50

a person, and it's moving. Oh

15:54

god, it's it's it's coming off the wall.

15:57

Oh hell, you

15:59

really? I don't see it? No, I know.

16:01

Okay, maybe it's a trick of the light. Are you

16:05

okay? Well I heard that ship? Ship

16:07

ship? Oh god, oh god, oh

16:10

god? You see it? Now yeah,

16:13

I see it has horns.

16:16

I don't know. The whole thing has made a slow Oh

16:18

god, and then run is that what?

16:21

Yeah, that's that. That's a kind of yokai. Right,

16:25

but don't they need bonfires? Apparently

16:27

not? Okay? Okay, yoki yokai? Are

16:29

there ways pipping? What? How do you repel a yokai?

16:32

Beads? Beads? What? Soybeans?

16:34

Thick and thick and drive away? Yoki? Oh

16:41

german him?

16:45

Yes, I got him, I

16:48

got him, I got him. Go go get you see an

16:50

as any beans. Just

16:56

just I

17:00

17:06

harpendo being but just

17:08

17:13

17:21

17:42

god, holy shit, what

17:44

the hell is that? Oh my god,

17:47

zippin or live what?

17:50

I don't know. I don't know, Jeremy,

17:53

how are we hearing this? This? This

17:55

this free have no idea, Jeremy

17:57

and and Viippen. We're going to Freetown today. Maybe

18:00

who's that? I don't know, but

18:04

I think I know where they are. Jeremy.

18:25

Whoa, whoa there, you're

18:27

okay, You're okay? Now? H

18:34

m hm is

18:37

it gone for

18:40

now? At least? Come on, come on, let's

18:42

sit down. A

18:48

whoa, thanks thanks

18:53

for saving me with the beans. It

18:55

was all fipping fast thinking with

18:57

those beans. Whatever

19:00

that thing was, it wasn't like an one or anendra

19:02

I've read about, and I don't know

19:04

how long it will stay away. Well

19:10

at least we've got some more beans. Ah,

19:14

did it hurt you? M

19:18

Yeah, I think I

19:22

think my wrist is broken, hipp

19:24

and go see if there's an ice pack or frozen peas

19:26

or anything. Yeah

19:28

here, let me see, like

19:30

if you I've broken my fair share of bones before.

19:34

Yeah, hazard of the hobby.

19:37

I guess. Oh

19:39

yeah, this is definitely broken, but

19:41

I think I can probably get some kind of a splint together

19:44

here frozen tater talk.

19:46

Oh sorry,

19:49

Fhippen. Do you think you could try looking for

19:52

a first aid kit, bandage's tongue depressor

19:54

anything we used to stabilize his wrist? I

19:58

thought I thought the birds were first time

20:00

that you've ever seen a monster? Oh no, I guess

20:02

I can say I've seen two, although

20:04

I feel like I barely saw that, yo guy.

20:07

So if those were your first monster attacks

20:11

while all the broken bones, I'm

20:13

very clumsy. Uh uh,

20:19

thanks for holding onto me. I thought

20:22

that thing was going to drag me into hell,

20:26

I probably would have just taken you to the other side, right,

20:28

the fay Realm. Yeah, well sixth

20:31

one. Do you really think it's that

20:33

bad over there? I don't know, but I can't say I'm particularly

20:36

fond of the residents I've met. Oh, sure, but

20:39

I mean they're just doing what they've been taught to

20:41

do right, protecting their home, following

20:43

the terms of the deal. God doesn't make it

20:45

right. No, No, but

20:48

I I don't know that we can blame

20:50

a guard dog for biting an intruder? Is

20:53

that? When you think those monsters were guard dogs? What

20:56

else would they be? I don't know. I guess

20:59

I hadn't really thought about who and

21:01

what the fay Realm actually are. It's

21:04

been a few encounters that were almost certainly

21:07

puckwadgies, and I'd sort of assumed that those

21:10

were the ones that have made the deal. Maybe

21:13

or maybe the faith themselves haven't even come

21:15

to this side yet. Well, I hope we never find

21:17

out. But magic is

21:19

real. You just did it, and

21:21

that's that's incredible.

21:25

We live our whole childhood's reading

21:27

stories about magical worlds and superpowers,

21:30

and then we grow up and find out that those

21:33

things only exist in the realm of our imaginations.

21:37

But here we are, you and me to

21:39

otherwise normal people, and

21:42

we've been let in on this amazing secret

21:44

that basically no one else knows that

21:48

all the stories are real, and that if we

21:50

wanted to, we could probably learn

21:52

all sorts of magic, learn how

21:54

to visit those other worlds. Doesn't

21:57

that excite you? Everything

21:59

I've encounter in the past few weeks has been

22:01

terrifying, and it feels more like a nightmare

22:04

coming true than a fantasy. But what

22:06

if that's not all there is to this? Come

22:09

on, are you telling me that in all your

22:11

years of teaching folklore you

22:13

never once wish that all of it was

22:16

real and you could be a part of it. Here

22:21

some ace bandages, first aid kid,

22:23

and a ruler. I figured that might work

22:25

as a splint. Yeah, that's great, thank

22:28

you. This is probably

22:30

going to be unpleasant. Oh

22:32

good, something new and different.

22:35

Hey, we need to figure out how we're going to

22:37

get out of here, right before

22:39

that thing comes back or before

22:41

something else comes through. Okay,

22:46

what do we know about getting out of the fay realm? We shouldn't

22:48

eat anything we shouldn't step into circles,

22:50

we shouldn't follow music, check,

22:53

check and check what else? Ah

22:57

Oh, iron repels

22:59

fairies, turning your clothes inside out

23:01

right church

23:03

bells. But okay, okay, okay,

23:06

some of those things we can do, and some of them maybe

23:08

we can fake. I think we've probably

23:10

passed the always be polite to fairies

23:12

stage of Hey,

23:14

guys, what about salt. That's a thing to protect

23:17

against all kinds of paranormal beans, right, I

23:19

might as well add it to the list. It can't hurt. Okay,

23:22

you finished patching him up, and I'll start to

23:24

gather whatever supplies I think might be useful.

23:27

Thanks. You

23:31

know I have thought about it before, of course,

23:34

the possibility of it all being real.

23:37

It's actually, um ah

23:42

sorry, it's actually why

23:44

I got into folklore in the first place. I

23:47

never I never told

23:49

anyone this before. Now. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of

23:51

people who wouldn't be surprised. But I started

23:53

researching all sorts of things that when

23:55

I was a teenager because I thought, um, I

24:00

thought, maybe if I put the right

24:02

pieces together, I could bring

24:05

my dad back. I

24:08

mean, I guess I thought some

24:10

of it must be real. If there were so many people

24:12

in the world. I believed in it, and I

24:16

I even tried some spells and as

24:20

a team I got into Wicca

24:23

for a bit. I had a similar

24:26

phase, did you. Yeah,

24:30

And then I realized

24:33

that he was dead and he was never coming back, and there

24:35

was nothing I could do about it. And fuck

24:40

now I realize, of course

24:44

there was something I could have done. Oh, there's

24:46

no way you could have known. All

24:48

the research in the world wouldn't have led you to what's actually

24:51

happening. I know, but

24:53

I'm still I'm

24:57

angry. I think I'm angry that magic

24:59

is real and that this is

25:01

what it's giving me. It's a life forty years

25:03

without my father and monsters breaking

25:05

my bones. And can

25:09

I tell you something I've never told anyone? Yeah,

25:14

I lied. I

25:17

do remember a little bit about when I went missing

25:19

as a kid. Really, I

25:22

think I was somewhere

25:25

else, somewhere

25:29

else. I don't know if I was

25:31

in the same place your dad was. It doesn't

25:33

sound like it. Wherever I

25:35

was, it was beautiful.

25:39

It looked like Freetown forest, but better,

25:42

brighter. Everything smelled better,

25:44

tasted better, felt better. I

25:47

mean, maybe I wandered off and ate some drugged up mushrooms

25:49

or something. But whatever happened,

25:52

I've been trying to figure it out ever since, trying

25:55

to recapture it. I mean, if I'm

25:57

honest, do you think

25:59

I'm just totally off my rocker?

26:02

Well, if you are, I am,

26:05

I get it a little. I mean when

26:09

I did that run, I

26:14

don't know if I can describe this, but it felt

26:17

what I

26:20

felt. It felt

26:22

incredible. I don't know how to describe anyway.

26:24

I think I would definitely

26:28

want to feel that again,

26:30

and that

26:33

it scares me. What doesn't have to

26:36

be scary? I mean, if

26:38

doing magic felt good and protected

26:40

you, how can it be bad?

26:45

Here? Keep that on as long as you can.

26:48

Look. I get being

26:50

angry and scared, But

26:52

everything we've ever been taught about magic tells

26:54

us that it doesn't need to be bad, right,

26:57

I mean, in every legend, there's always

26:59

light magic and dark magic. It's

27:02

about the user, not the

27:04

magic itself. Well,

27:09

do you think we could use magic to get out of here? I

27:11

don't just mean here, I mean the whole

27:14

deal. The Faye Court are famously

27:16

not very generous negotiators.

27:19

Well, what if the deal wasn't broken? But changed.

27:22

What if I don't know,

27:25

merge the world somehow. You

27:27

mean, let them Faye realms seep

27:29

out into ours, Let magic exist

27:31

here. The Faye use it to keep

27:33

their gate closed, and we use it to keep our gate

27:35

closed, and no one has to sit in the liminal. Why

27:38

would the fay realm ever go for something like

27:40

that? What if the gates were closed but not locked,

27:43

accessible to those who knew, able

27:46

to pass through from one world to the next. Wouldn't

27:49

you want to see it if you could the

27:51

other side. I don't know if I trust it.

27:53

I haven't seen any magic that's led me to believe

27:55

that it's a stable or

27:58

positive force. It just

28:00

saved our lives. It brought

28:02

your dad back. Yeah, but it

28:04

took him away first, but it brought him

28:07

back. And on top

28:09

of that, you now have more time together

28:11

than you ever would have if he'd stayed an age normally.

28:14

You have your whole lives to get to know each other, for

28:17

him to know his grandkids and great

28:20

grandkids. What

28:22

a gift that is. I

28:24

didn't know you were such a glass half full

28:26

person. I don't need to be a glass

28:29

half full person because the glass is

28:31

magic fair

28:36

enough. But you might actually

28:38

have a point. Maybe there is a way to make all of this work

28:40

for us, for the other side to

28:42

be an ally not an enemy. My thoughts

28:44

exactly. Well,

28:48

first things first have to figure

28:51

out how to get out of here, yeah

28:53

and fast. I

28:59

don't get it. Are you

29:01

sure it's unlocked? I know how

29:03

to unlock my own front door. I'm

29:06

still not getting anything from the station. Maybe

29:09

whatever was going on is over, or

29:11

something much worse happened. Let

29:14

me try. It

29:17

feels like, yeah,

29:19

like someone's pulling from the other side, right, Jeremy,

29:25

Jeremy, Jeremy,

29:29

Hippen. What

29:33

was that? Was that coming from inside

29:35

the house? Jeremy, Jeremy,

29:39

All right, that's it. I'm breaking it down. God,

29:44

thank fuck Jeremy, Dad, Hippen,

29:48

Who are you? Oh? Um, Hi?

29:52

What the hell happened? We all? Are you guys

29:54

doing here? We heard you screaming

29:56

on the radio. Watch Alden's

29:58

radio. We could hear shouting at and something

30:00

about bean. That's what we used

30:02

to get rid of the only but what uh

30:06

it's a kind of malevolent spirit in Japanese

30:09

lore. That's what broke Jeremy's hand.

30:12

Let me see, I'm

30:14

fine. I shit you

30:17

were able to tune into the limit only.

30:19

Huh, you really did

30:22

it? I guess. So is

30:24

that where you guys were. Uh,

30:28

I don't know. Uh, we're not completely

30:30

sure. We got chased by these birds

30:33

what and then and

30:35

then we hid inside the house. We got trapped. There was

30:37

this um music like before.

30:39

Oh yeah, we heard that on the radio. Yeah.

30:42

I think there were other worlds there. There was

30:44

like spreading out of Freetown

30:46

again. But I don't know. Everything

30:48

looks I think it looks

30:50

really normal now. I mean, I haven't gotten

30:53

any more strange broadcasts.

30:55

So are you

30:57

really okay? Yeah?

30:59

Yeah, I am a little

31:01

beaten up, But okay, wherever? And

31:03

why's your sweaterans? We had to hum

31:06

better? Question? Who is this great?

31:10

Sorry? This is that's weight breaking news.

31:12

A body was just discovered by police and

31:14

Freetown State Forest, a popular hiking

31:17

and camping destination. The body was

31:19

discovered earlier this afternoon, and the identity

31:21

of the victim and the exact cause of death is

31:23

unknown at this time. The police

31:25

have stated that due to recent attacks, they

31:27

are taking this as a matter of public safety

31:30

and we'll be closing down the park until further

31:33

notice, especially since they have already

31:35

ruled out natural causes based on

31:37

the state of the body. Whether this

31:39

hiker was murdered or attacked remains

31:42

to be seen. This
