THAT WITCH DOESN’T KILL YOU: URBAN LEGENDS

This week on the pod… as a follow up to Urban Legends and a final hoorah for Halloween, Jacob and Reese travel beyooond the graveee to bring you a very special halloween day episode all about ghost stories. The pair discuss the trend of shortest scary stories, butt stabbings, horror tropes, ghost hunting, and the spooky-ooky feeling of being all alone. 

In this episode, we started by looking back at the phenomenon of Pokémon Go, but quickly found ourselves discussing clowns and how if you’re going to act like the Joker, you should commit to it fully.

Urban legends became the core of our chat. We tackled the bizarre myths, fanfiction, and reminisced about shows like MythBusters. We also dug into the strange tale of Alexandria’s Genesis, which stemmed from Daria fanfiction.

From there, we touched on various urban legends, such as the Bunnyman Bridge, killer dolls, and the Bell Witch. The discussion flowed easily from one topic to another, each one spurring thoughts and ideas for future videos.

The conversation had a bit of everything: humor, intrigue, and that unique spark that comes from diving into the unknown. I’m already looking forward to our next talk.

For a final halloween treat, for the first time on the podcast today’s episode features a very special guest to tell us a ghost story of her very own… our friend Vivian! 

*hear ye, hear ye* NEXT WEEK! We watch 1982’s The Thing. We’d love for you to join us.

00:00,000 00:04,720 Hi there, Jacob here. Stick around to the end of the episode for a little preview of
00:04,720 00:09,400 our latest video on YouTube, A Killing Jar. Okay, no more self-advertising. Let’s get
00:09,400 00:10,400 to it.
00:10,400 00:11,400 Hi!
00:11,400 00:12,400 Hi!
00:12,400 00:13,400 Oh my goodness. What a horrible start.
00:13,400 00:14,400 Okay, try again. We’ll try again.
00:14,400 00:15,400 Okay, so I’m going to start with a little bit of a preview of our latest video on YouTube,
00:15,400 00:16,400 A Killing Jar. Okay, no more self-advertising. Let’s get to it.
00:16,400 00:17,400 Hi!
00:17,400 00:18,400 Hi!
00:18,400 00:19,400 Oh my goodness. What a horrible start.
00:19,400 00:20,400 Okay, try again. We’ll try again.
00:20,400 00:21,400 Okay, so I’m going to start with a little bit of a preview of our latest video on YouTube,
00:21,400 00:22,400 A Killing Jar. Okay, no more self-advertising. Let’s get to it.
00:22,400 00:23,400 Hi!
00:23,400 00:24,400 Hi!
00:24,400 00:33,880 horrible start. Okay, try again. What’s your favorite urban legend? Mothman. That makes
00:33,880 00:43,300 sense. Why? Because you talk about Mothman a lot and you like moths and men. I do. My
00:43,300 00:51,700 point exactly. For those not watching video, Rhys has slowly stripped away his exterior
00:51,700 00:54,780 to reveal his moth-like insides.
00:54,780 00:56,980 – I have a moth tattoo.
00:56,980 00:59,220 What about you?
00:59,220 01:00,620 What’s your favorite?
01:00,620 01:01,460 – I don’t know.
01:01,460 01:06,460 I think I was a big fan of the “Beyond Belief” show
01:06,460 01:11,300 when I was a child.
01:11,300 01:12,700 It was the one where they would give you
01:12,700 01:15,500 a fact or fiction narratives.
01:15,500 01:17,780 They would give you three or four an episode
01:17,780 01:20,820 and you would have to guess, is this true or false?
01:20,820 01:25,820 And I always loved just being like, no, that’s fake.
01:25,820 01:27,540 Or like, no, that’s true.
01:27,540 01:28,700 Oh my God, that’s so real.
01:28,700 01:30,860 And then of course, looking back on it now,
01:30,860 01:32,460 like I was watching some of them
01:32,460 01:36,500 and I was just like, yeah, these are all pretty bad.
01:36,500 01:40,380 – But it’s fun when you’re young.
01:40,380 01:42,460 – Exactly, I’m like, you know, it’s fine.
01:42,460 01:44,780 And apparently like the first season
01:44,780 01:48,220 was hosted by Josh Berlin’s dad,
01:48,220 01:52,780 which is like very random thing.
01:52,780 01:54,780 Do you say who’s Josh Brolin?
01:54,780 01:56,100 – Hey, Thanos. – Thanos?
01:56,100 02:00,300 – Oh, whoa. – Fucking Thanos.
02:00,300 02:01,620 How dare you?
02:01,620 02:03,180 – His dad?
02:03,180 02:05,940 – Yeah, his name is apparently James.
02:05,940 02:07,700 I just find the concept of people
02:07,700 02:12,300 like believing random things like really interesting,
02:12,300 02:14,980 especially when it’s like very clearly false.
02:14,980 02:18,180 But you know, in the 90s and early 2000s,
02:18,180 02:19,740 that was like cute.
02:19,740 02:23,300 And now it’s like going to be the end of our country
02:23,300 02:24,860 and possibly planet.
02:24,860 02:25,700 – It was cute back then.
02:25,700 02:28,700 – It’s like our whole world is an urban legend.
02:28,700 02:31,420 – But did you see,
02:31,420 02:35,460 ’cause it makes me think of ghost stuff and ghost hunters.
02:35,460 02:40,460 Did you see that new Netflix show, “The 28 Days” thing?
02:40,460 02:43,820 It’s like, and this has always been my thing.
02:43,820 02:47,780 So these, it’s not a ghost episode,
02:47,780 02:49,380 I’m about to make it a ghost episode.
02:49,380 02:51,280 So, you know, you know, these ghost hunters,
02:51,280 02:55,420 they go and they’re only there for like a night or two
02:55,420 02:58,280 and they don’t see anything.
02:58,280 02:59,940 And it’s like, well, yeah, you won’t
02:59,940 03:02,340 because you were just there for one night.
03:02,340 03:05,680 So these people stay in these haunted places for 20 days.
03:05,680 03:08,180 – Ah.
03:08,180 03:09,740 – I think that’s a very good concept.
03:09,740 03:12,020 And that could be applied to anywhere
03:12,020 03:14,100 where you think something isn’t real.
03:14,100 03:16,260 You just probably aren’t there long enough.
03:17,340 03:19,300 That’s a very good point.
03:19,300 03:20,940 Like maybe people would find Bigfoot
03:20,940 03:23,620 if you just like spent more time in the woods.
03:23,620 03:27,980 – Yeah, if you, you know, just got to know him.
03:27,980 03:28,820 – You know what?
03:28,820 03:30,060 I don’t wanna go outside either.
03:30,060 03:32,220 I don’t want people taking photos of me.
03:32,220 03:33,060 I get it.
03:33,060 03:35,260 – I mean, and if he’s all big,
03:35,260 03:37,060 then it’s not just his feet that are big.
03:37,060 03:38,300 So that’s kind of rude.
03:38,300 03:43,300 – I think Bunnyman is interesting being so local to our area,
03:43,300 03:45,260 just like the whole concept and everything.
03:45,260 03:51,740 And like, going through the research, just learning how ridiculously like shoddy its
03:51,740 03:53,540 background information is.
03:53,540 03:58,820 It’s like one man wears a suit and now we have like, an entire mythos.
03:58,820 03:59,820 I know that.
03:59,820 04:03,380 That’s funny, because the more I was like kind of doing research on it, the more I was
04:03,380 04:07,860 like, I just want to stick with the legend I knew.
04:07,860 04:11,060 And there’s probably a lot of people feel that way, too, because they’re just like,
04:11,060 04:14,260 “Okay, well, let’s continue to just lie.”
04:14,260 04:18,980 Like, it’s a man, and it was, you know,
04:18,980 04:21,660 going to Lorton Prison, and it crashed,
04:21,660 04:24,220 and all these things, and he kills all the bunnies.
04:24,220 04:28,300 And it’s like, “Well, actually,
04:28,300 04:33,300 there was an insane asylum in Lorton, Virginia, so.”
04:33,300 04:35,660 – So actually.
04:35,660 04:38,020 – So actually, I’m just gonna well actually
04:38,020 04:44,660 my own local. Well, what was you said you wanted to stick to like what you knew? What
04:44,660 04:52,700 was the version that you grew up with? Just that it was I remember, it was a guy who escaped
04:52,700 05:02,540 from an insane asylum, and had went into the woods and killed bunnies and made like a coat
05:02,540 05:04,220 or a suit of the bunnies.
05:04,220 05:06,660 That’s why I thought he was called Bunny Man.
05:06,660 05:08,340 – Oh, jeez. – I thought he did that.
05:08,340 05:12,100 And I heard that he lived at the Bunny Man Drill.
05:12,100 05:13,220 – Was this something you were told
05:13,220 05:14,980 or something that you heard the name
05:14,980 05:17,580 and were like, “Oh yeah, it’s a suit of bunnies.”
05:17,580 05:19,340 – No, it was what me and my friends,
05:19,340 05:21,020 like it’s what they were. – Interesting.
05:21,020 05:23,200 – Well, we told each other in,
05:23,200 05:27,740 I was in middle school, high school.
05:27,740 05:30,140 – Well, it’s kind of funny because you
05:30,140 05:33,300 were obviously much more closer to Lorton
05:33,300 05:35,460 from your undisclosed location as a child.
05:35,460 05:39,220 And I was much closer to Clifton
05:39,220 05:41,620 from my undisclosed location as a child,
05:41,620 05:44,100 but I didn’t learn about Bunnymen Bridge
05:44,100 05:45,920 until I was an adult already.
05:45,920 05:48,980 Like it was not something I knew about as a teenager
05:48,980 05:50,300 because I didn’t talk to anybody.
05:50,300 05:52,860 So like who was gonna tell me about it?
05:52,860 05:55,300 But I lived like 15 minutes from it.
05:55,300 05:59,680 – And bridge, I remember in my head before we went there,
05:59,680 06:02,600 Am I skipping ahead to the legend tripping on accident?
06:02,600 06:03,440 – That’s fine, that’s fine.
06:03,440 06:04,920 – Is that okay?
06:04,920 06:06,340 Legend tripping.
06:06,340 06:10,600 – We need little bumpers, little audio bumpers
06:10,600 06:11,940 at the beginning of new segments.
06:11,940 06:13,580 We’re just like, legend tripping.
06:13,580 06:22,000 – I had like an idea in my head
06:22,000 06:24,600 of what the bridge was gonna look like when we went.
06:24,600 06:27,280 I know we went at night
06:27,280 06:33,520 And your friend like took a lot of pictures so I was able to kind of see some stuff like in the bridge
06:33,520 06:35,520 uh
06:35,520 06:37,520 but
06:37,520 06:39,840 I
06:39,840 06:43,920 You know and there was other stuff going on. So I don’t remember actually being that scared
06:43,920 06:47,280 I was definitely nervous just from the point of view of like
06:47,280 06:53,360 We’re out here thinking that there’s like a person that kills people
06:53,360 06:56,320 And we’re trying to find it
06:56,720 06:59,280 Yeah. A whole bunch of kids.
06:59,280 07:04,000 Was that the same time, or the same day we went to Clifton and we were trying to go to
07:04,000 07:08,000 the top of that area and you were like freaking out?
07:08,000 07:13,720 Yeah, because it’s like, and then we ended up like in Woodbridge.
07:13,720 07:21,600 Yeah, so Clifton terrifies me for far more reasons than Bunnyman. Like Bunnyman is the
07:21,600 07:23,360 least of my concerns.
07:23,360 07:30,360 Well, in freaking Clifton, we, uh, didn’t we like, either I heard about it or it happens,
07:30,360 07:34,600 but like, there’s like a crossroad or whatever you get stuck on.
07:34,600 07:37,880 Like that sounds believable.
07:37,880 07:43,480 I know that whenever I’m in Clifton, I can be going down a very clear like road and somehow
07:43,480 07:44,480 I’m on another road.
07:44,480 07:45,480 And I’m like, what the fuck did I do?
07:45,480 07:50,520 Yeah, no, I was, I was freaking out because we were like, it was very off road and we
07:50,520 07:56,440 We kept on going up and we went through this crazy ass way and somehow we ended up in Woodbridge,
07:56,440 07:57,440 Potomac.
07:57,440 08:00,320 Yeah, it’s just a weird area in general.
08:00,320 08:02,960 Let’s talk about some other urban legends.
08:02,960 08:06,920 I’ve got a little list here from good old Wikipedia.
08:06,920 08:08,400 We’re stealing content.
08:08,400 08:09,960 Wiki Wiki.
08:09,960 08:11,880 Oh, this is actually a really good one.
08:11,880 08:14,400 I’m sure you’ve probably heard of this one.
08:14,400 08:16,080 Have you heard of the 27 Club?
08:16,080 08:17,080 No.
08:17,080 08:18,080 What’s that?
08:18,080 08:19,080 Oh my God.
08:19,080 08:26,080 It’s actually very up our alley as alternative lifestyle peoples.
08:26,080 08:32,000 So it’s an urban legend that says popular musicians and other celebrated artists die
08:32,000 08:33,000 at age 27.
08:33,000 08:34,000 Oh, that’s what that’s called.
08:34,000 08:43,920 Yes, with a statistical anomalous frequency, a whole bunch of people dying at 27, famous
08:43,920 08:44,920 celebrities.
08:44,920 08:50,200 So these are people like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse.
08:50,200 08:57,680 I mean, it kind of makes sense to like, I could believe it because like, even if the
08:57,680 09:04,600 spike isn’t real, these are all people who are living like non straight edge fantasies,
09:04,600 09:05,600 right?
09:05,600 09:09,840 So eventually, like a lifestyle is going to catch up with you.
09:09,840 09:21,160 So you either make it to 27 and go on to live a life full of ruckus behavior or you don’t
09:21,160 09:22,160 make it.
09:22,160 09:23,160 You doubt.
09:23,160 09:25,200 And I mean, you know what?
09:25,200 09:28,440 Being 27 is kind of hard.
09:28,440 09:30,840 Honestly, 27 is hard enough.
09:30,840 09:37,400 And then you throw in touring and drugs and everything they do.
09:37,400 09:39,720 Yeah, I could believe it.
09:39,720 09:43,000 This next one I think is pretty stupid.
09:43,000 09:44,680 But I’m gonna, you know what, no.
09:44,680 09:47,120 I’m gonna let people make their own decisions.
09:47,120 09:52,680 The 999 phone charging myth is an urban legend which claims that calling the police and fire
09:52,680 09:56,120 services then hanging up charges mobile phone batteries.
09:56,120 09:59,120 999 I think is UK, I think?
09:59,120 10:01,240 I don’t know, actually.
10:01,240 10:02,240 But I’m pretty sure it is.
10:02,240 10:03,240 But this just-
10:03,240 10:06,240 You call them, you hang up, and you charge your phone.
10:06,240 10:08,000 It just doesn’t make any sense.
10:08,000 10:09,440 How would that improve your battery?
10:09,440 10:14,640 people don’t be thinking. I’ve never heard of that.
10:14,640 10:20,160 Oh, the 1962 Halloween Massacre was an urban legend about a terrifying photo at
10:20,160 10:25,120 a costume party in which seven people were killed on Halloween night in 1962.
10:25,120 10:30,240 I had not heard about this one. So I’m gonna go ahead and take a look. Is that on Halloween?
10:30,240 10:37,760 I guess so. Oh, that’s spooky. Here, I’ve got the link. Let me see.
10:37,760 10:43,680 All right, so we’ve got here a Snopes article about the 1962 Halloween massacre
10:43,680 10:52,560 that is rated it false. Spoilers. But if I were to describe the image, it definitely looks very old.
10:52,560 11:00,080 It’s got a lot of those like old costumes that I really like that are like head coverings and masks
11:00,080 11:09,360 and hats. And they’re very creepy. It looks a lot of like clown masks kind of vibe.
11:09,360 11:12,000 Have you heard of this?
11:12,000 11:21,680 Upside down face man. There’s that. Have you ever heard of the man with the upside down face?
11:21,680 11:22,720 No.
11:22,720 11:25,440 Are you gonna send me a link?
11:25,440 11:26,640 Yeah.
11:26,640 11:27,760 Okay.
11:27,760 11:28,600 Okay.
11:28,600 11:34,760 – ‘Cause that just reminded me,
11:34,760 11:41,120 I follow this guy on Twitter
11:41,120 11:43,040 and he’s like a horror artist,
11:43,040 11:45,920 but it had like the same vibe of like,
11:45,920 11:49,720 there’ll be these olden day pictures
11:49,720 11:54,720 and it’ll be like pictures taken at like tragedies and stuff
11:56,600 11:59,400 If you look really hard, you see like a man with an upside down face.
11:59,400 12:01,800 Oh, I don’t like it.
12:01,800 12:04,200 I know it’s so great, right?
12:04,200 12:08,440 This this definitely gives me like a lot of like the A.R.G.
12:08,440 12:10,940 by some like creepypastas.
12:10,940 12:15,140 Yeah, I really like that one where the that there’s that car accident.
12:15,140 12:19,440 The very first related link is who is Jeff the killer?
12:19,440 12:20,900 Creepypasta is evil villain.
12:20,900 12:23,000 Creepypasta should be a whole separate thing.
12:23,000 12:25,400 We definitely should have one about that.
12:26,040 12:31,720 Yes, um, I have I have some favorite kibbe pastas remember we used to uh
12:31,720 12:36,680 We used to listen to that one guy read the kibbe pastas. Oh, yeah
12:36,680 12:40,360 It’s funny because like I mean it’s kind of like pre-podcast
12:40,360 12:45,480 Oh, I guess we were listening to podcasts then too, but it’s like before the big podcast boom when it was like a lot smaller
12:45,480 12:47,080 um
12:47,080 12:49,080 We just wanted to creep ourselves out
12:49,080 12:53,720 Well, and there’s still a lot of like youtubers that do that
12:53,720 12:55,640 um
12:55,640 12:56,640 And I just feel like…
12:56,640 12:57,640 Do you read scary stories?
12:57,640 13:00,160 Yeah, and I’m all for it.
13:00,160 13:02,360 You know, do your creative thing.
13:02,360 13:04,160 You’ve got the voice for it, go for it.
13:04,160 13:05,160 Yeah.
13:05,160 13:09,720 But it is kind of lazy to just like throw an image on the screen, read someone else’s
13:09,720 13:13,000 work and then get a million views for it.
13:13,000 13:16,320 But hey, what, you know, I’m not going to complain.
13:16,320 13:18,480 I mean, if you got the voice for it.
13:18,480 13:19,480 2016 clown sightings.
13:19,480 13:22,440 I mean, I wouldn’t consider that an urban legend.
13:22,440 13:24,040 That was definitely actually happening.
13:24,040 13:25,520 That was a real thing.
13:25,520 13:27,160 I was in Tennessee at the time.
13:27,160 13:28,940 I’m so sorry.
13:28,940 13:31,200 Of all places to be, that is not one.
13:31,200 13:31,920 I know.
13:31,920 13:35,680 I was scared of the cows in my backyard.
13:35,680 13:39,720 Would have definitely been scared of clowns.
13:39,720 13:43,800 And that was the height of Pokemon Go.
13:43,800 13:45,920 Everyone was outside doing things.
13:45,920 13:48,040 Pokemon Go to the polls this November.
13:48,040 13:49,600 Don’t forget everyone.
13:49,600 13:51,000 Yay!
13:51,000 13:53,200 All right, Hillary.
13:53,200 13:55,200 [laughter]
13:55,200 14:04,000 Could you imagine if you like looked out your back door and you just saw a clown tipping over a cow?
14:04,000 14:06,000 Oh. [laughter]
14:06,000 14:08,000 Those poor cows. I’m like, “No!”
14:08,000 14:15,000 I, you know, I mean, it makes me think of, I mean, I talked about like the ring footage cameras last episode, but
14:15,000 14:21,000 um, a lot of clowns end up on those videos and I’m just like, “Y’all need to chill.”
14:21,000 14:26,800 Like you’re not really about that life and I know a lot of those little security footage
14:26,800 14:30,720 ones, the moment they think they see someone, they like scurry off like a little bitch.
14:30,720 14:33,720 If you’re going to be about that life, you’re going to try to be the Joker.
14:33,720 14:36,080 The Joker doesn’t run away and hide, okay?
14:36,080 14:38,800 He slaughters you and he laughs about it.
14:38,800 14:39,800 That’s it.
14:39,800 14:42,800 Why are you giving pep talks to me?
14:42,800 14:50,120 I’m just saying, if you’re really going to be about that life, be about it.
14:50,120 14:57,120 about why you have the mask on. What are you hiding? Who are you hiding?
14:57,120 15:00,120 Hello? Who’s in there?
15:00,120 15:05,120 Therapy. Right now. Right now. We’re doing it.
15:05,120 15:11,120 Sponsored by BetterHelp.
15:11,120 15:13,120 Get out.
15:13,120 15:16,120 One day, one day, we’re gonna get those sponsorships.
15:16,120 15:21,120 but not before they catch the aerial water bomber picking up scuba diver.
15:21,120 15:23,120 I don’t know what this means.
15:23,120 15:25,120 What are the words you said?
15:25,120 15:27,120 Yeah.
15:27,120 15:29,120 Aerial water bomber.
15:29,120 15:34,120 I guess I could read the info text that immediately follows the title.
15:34,120 15:36,120 What? I need you to explain to me.
15:36,120 15:41,120 It’s an urban legend about a water bomber or a helicopter with a dangling water bucket
15:41,120 15:44,880 bucket, scooping up a scuba diver and dumping them on a
15:44,880 15:52,200 wildfire. Legend was used as a plot device in the film Barney’s
15:52,200 15:55,400 version. I don’t know what that means. The urban legend
15:55,400 15:58,880 debunking site Snopes reports there are no proven cases of
15:58,880 16:02,720 this happening in reality. While the Discovery Channel show
16:02,720 16:07,200 Mythbusters also to prove disproved the myth. Mythbusters
16:07,400 16:09,640 is another TV show I used to love as a child
16:09,640 16:13,600 that was related to like this like urban legend thing.
16:13,600 16:15,920 I used to love watching that show.
16:15,920 16:17,520 – What happened?
16:17,520 16:19,040 – It stopped airing.
16:19,040 16:19,880 – It did?
16:19,880 16:20,700 – I think.
16:20,700 16:21,960 – I always thought there was sexual tension
16:21,960 16:23,160 between those two guys.
16:23,160 16:24,000 – It’s hot.
16:24,000 16:24,820 Good for them.
16:24,820 16:27,280 – I mean, you can say it’s hot, but you know, it’s fine.
16:27,280 16:28,800 – Yeah, it’s for them, you know,
16:28,800 16:31,280 like I make really about like people like personality,
16:31,280 16:33,040 you know, like I don’t judge people by their looks.
16:33,040 16:34,760 Like I’m not that kind of person.
16:34,760 16:36,880 – The walrus man and his lover.
16:36,880 16:38,760 Oh, I heard about this one on the internet.
16:38,760 16:42,400 Did you hear about Alexandria’s Genesis during your time on Tumblr?
16:42,400 16:50,480 Wait, wait, you guys send me these things. I don’t,
16:50,480 16:51,560 I need to see.
16:51,560 16:53,760 That’s going to be a no, you don’t know it by the name.
16:53,760 16:55,760 So I don’t have a link here.
16:55,760 16:56,840 Tell me it again.
16:56,840 17:00,120 So it’s called Alexandria’s Genesis.
17:00,120 17:04,600 It’s a purported genetic mutation that gives its carrier purple eyes,
17:04,600 17:06,000 shimmering pale skin.
17:06,000 17:12,240 Okay, there we go. A lack of body hair and a lack of menstruation while still remaining
17:12,240 17:18,920 fertile. That’s impossible. I what do you just have one egg sitting in there? Just waiting,
17:18,920 17:25,840 just waiting to make this. I remember like when you that was such a weird thing that
17:25,840 17:33,280 I that I would see around. I never thought that was really it’s like when you have like,
17:33,280 17:37,360 You know, you have to check the gun to make sure there’s not like a bullet in the chamber.
17:37,360 17:39,000 There’s just an egg waiting.
17:39,000 17:41,440 It’s just like going back and forth, rolling.
17:41,440 17:46,720 People want to be freaking weeaboos.
17:46,720 17:51,680 So apparently it was originated in a Daria fanfiction in 1998.
17:51,680 17:52,680 Daria?
17:52,680 17:53,680 Like…
17:53,680 17:56,840 Yeah, like my queen Daria.
17:56,840 17:57,840 What does she have to do?
17:57,840 17:59,760 Was there an Alexandria on that show?
17:59,760 18:02,080 It’s been a little while.
18:02,080 18:10,200 Is it like an original character or like a type of what’s that really famous Harry Potter
18:10,200 18:11,200 one?
18:11,200 18:13,680 Oh, the really bad one?
18:13,680 18:16,360 Yeah, Raven something here.
18:16,360 18:17,360 Urban Legend.
18:17,360 18:21,120 That’s how bad it was.
18:21,120 18:22,120 My immortal.
18:22,120 18:23,120 That’s what it was.
18:23,120 18:24,120 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:24,120 18:25,120 Ebony darkness, dementia, Raven way.
18:25,120 18:26,120 What a name.
18:26,120 18:31,600 Oh, we’re gonna have to have a fanfic episode.
18:31,600 18:38,540 The podcast is basically like the thought experiment of like, if I were to make a video
18:38,540 18:43,900 on this topic, what are the rabbit holes I would go down?
18:43,900 18:47,620 Speaking of rabbit holes, check out our latest video on the YouTube channel.
18:47,620 18:48,620 Bunnyman.
18:48,620 18:49,620 About the Bunnyman Bridge.
18:49,620 18:50,620 Bunnyman.
18:50,620 18:55,740 I just started talking about Annabelle was one of the next ones.
18:55,740 18:59,540 And I definitely want to talk just killer dolls in general at some point.
18:59,540 19:00,540 Yes.
19:00,540 19:06,420 That’s pretty well known. We’ve talked about that on our well, we’ve mentioned it already before and to clarify where it was
19:06,420 19:14,220 The bandage man is an urban legend that describes a logger who died in a grizzly sawmill accident
19:14,220 19:18,060 Who attacks cars and terrorizes teenagers?
19:18,060 19:27,180 This goes with my theory that a lot of like like the mid-century urban legends are all flashers, which is very interesting
19:27,940 19:32,940 – Or like industrial based deaths type of thing like that.
19:32,940 19:36,620 – And they’re always attacking people in cars,
19:36,620 19:40,180 in like bridges, lovers lanes.
19:40,180 19:41,940 Ooh, the Bell Witch.
19:41,940 19:44,220 – Oh, okay, I know the Bell Witch.
19:44,220 19:48,020 – What do you know about the Bell Witch?
19:48,020 19:48,860 – Okay.
19:48,860 19:55,860 Oh, I was thinking about the witch’s own.
19:55,860 19:59,300 – No, but the bell witch, the cave is in Tennessee.
19:59,300 20:00,500 – Yes, it is in Tennessee.
20:00,500 20:04,580 – I used to pass it all the time on my way into Nashville,
20:04,580 20:09,580 but it was like a cave near a house,
20:09,580 20:13,700 and this house was like, they got cursed
20:13,700 20:18,700 because of something they did to this witch or something.
20:18,700 20:19,740 – Fair.
20:19,740 20:20,580 – I know.
20:20,580 20:21,400 – That sounds fair to me.
20:21,400 20:22,240 – Okay, tell me.
20:22,240 20:25,540 – Oh, I don’t know anything about it.
20:25,540 20:26,940 I’m just reading off a list.
20:26,940 20:28,440 – Oh.
20:28,440 20:29,820 – Well, not a fundamental element
20:29,820 20:31,340 of the original recorded legend,
20:31,340 20:33,100 the Bellweth Cave in the 20th century
20:33,100 20:34,980 became a source of continuing interest,
20:34,980 20:36,580 belief and generation of lore.
20:36,580 20:37,400 Interesting.
20:37,400 20:39,180 And that’s interesting that that was like
20:39,180 20:40,780 the thing that stood out to you.
20:40,780 20:41,620 – What?
20:41,620 20:45,500 – The cave, that it wasn’t an original part of the story,
20:45,500 20:49,420 but it kind of became part of the fundamental part of it.
20:49,420 20:51,700 – I think when I passed it,
20:51,700 20:53,860 the sign would say Bellweth Cave.
20:54,820 20:56,820 I think that’s what I remember.
20:56,820 20:59,660 So I was always like, I’m gonna go there.
20:59,660 21:02,140 – I would love to do like a two minute video on this.
21:02,140 21:04,260 This is, I’m gonna go ahead and pin this.
21:04,260 21:05,980 – Yeah, go with it. – Put a pin in it.
21:05,980 21:10,180 I think, yeah, so right now I’m working on a little project
21:10,180 21:11,660 that’s gonna take a while,
21:11,660 21:14,720 but I do want to kind of incorporate
21:14,720 21:17,660 a lot of these urban legends into more videos.
21:17,660 21:19,500 I think they’re really interesting.
21:19,500 21:22,980 – I like anything spooky, anything creepy.
21:22,980 21:25,420 – I like monsters.
21:25,420 21:27,500 I watched “Hellraiser” this weekend.
21:27,500 21:30,840 I wanna do something about that.
21:30,840 21:33,740 When you said the village cave,
21:33,740 21:36,980 I was thinking about there’s this unsolved case
21:36,980 21:40,680 of who put Bella in the witch’s elm.
21:40,680 21:44,060 – I don’t know what that means.
21:44,060 21:48,740 – There was a skeleton found in,
21:48,740 21:53,740 a woman skeleton found in a tree by these two kids.
21:53,740 21:59,000 And they’re trying to figure out for the longest time,
21:59,000 22:00,240 like, who is she?
22:00,240 22:02,200 How she got in this tree?
22:02,200 22:04,060 How she died?
22:04,060 22:07,380 Some people think that she was a,
22:07,380 22:09,480 like some type of spy or something.
22:09,480 22:12,840 And she like, unfortunately parachuted
22:12,840 22:14,340 into the middle of a tree.
22:14,340 22:16,840 – Parachute?
22:16,840 22:18,840 Yeah, because there was like
22:18,840 22:21,720 Did she have a parachute on her?
22:21,720 22:25,400 Well, she did been she’d been in there for so long that she like
22:25,400 22:28,960 Decomposed so there’s like not a lot. There wasn’t a lot of stuff
22:28,960 22:35,040 they could use to tell like who was but she had like some clothes and
22:35,040 22:39,520 What is the material of a parachute they found that
22:40,520 22:44,120 Okay, was it Amelia Earhart? Did they finally find her?
22:44,120 22:46,120 Her and her crab buddies.
22:46,120 22:48,120 Just parachuting into a tree.
22:48,120 22:50,120 I don’t know what that means. Crab buddies?
22:50,120 22:53,520 Yeah, Amelia Earhart got eaten by coconut crabs.
22:53,520 22:54,520 What?
22:54,520 22:55,520 Myth!
22:55,520 22:57,520 [laughter]
22:57,520 22:59,520 You never heard that?
22:59,520 23:00,520 No.
23:00,520 23:02,520 She got eaten by coconut crabs.
23:02,520 23:04,520 [laughter]
23:04,520 23:08,520 Anyway, yeah, Amelia Earhart got eaten by crabs.
23:08,520 23:20,160 I’m just so shocked by that story. I’ve never heard of this crab theory. No, I started typing
23:20,160 23:21,160 crab theory.
23:21,160 23:25,160 No crab theory. Amelia Earhart coconut crabs. They’re huge.
23:25,160 23:32,760 Okay, well, I just control F’d on her Wikipedia article and there’s nothing about crab. So
23:32,760 23:35,680 this is a deep cut urban legend. So thank you for
23:35,680 23:37,680 No
23:37,680 23:46,400 That’s wild I’ve never heard of that before my life crabs crab theory
23:46,400 23:50,160 Not crab theory
23:50,160 23:52,160 That’s like the worst
23:52,160 23:57,440 On a fractured skeleton on an island that has been torn apart limb from him many believe
23:57,440 24:03,080 It is found the body of American aviation pioneer million air heart that should be torn apart by coconut crap
24:03,080 24:04,080 Good for them.
24:04,080 24:05,080 Good for the crabs?
24:05,080 24:10,120 Honestly, yes, this is the way they finally take revenge for the way we treat them.
24:10,120 24:11,120 Good for them.
24:11,120 24:12,480 How do we treat them?
24:12,480 24:14,380 Everything becomes crab.
24:14,380 24:15,960 We will all become crab.
24:15,960 24:16,960 Crab is life.
24:16,960 24:17,960 Life is crab.
24:17,960 24:18,960 We will all become a crab.
24:18,960 24:19,960 Love that for us.
24:19,960 24:20,960 Thank you.
24:20,960 24:21,960 All right, that was my…
24:21,960 24:22,960 End scene.
24:22,960 24:23,960 Okay, what’s another one?
24:23,960 24:24,960 Ankle slicing car thief.
24:24,960 24:25,960 I feel like that’s happened at least once.
24:25,960 24:26,960 There’s been at least one.
24:26,960 24:30,560 What’s another one ankle slicing car thief? I feel like that’s happened
24:30,560 24:35,440 At least once there’s been at least one person who hit under a car. The problem is
24:35,440 24:38,240 And this is something that a lot of movies get wrong
24:38,240 24:42,720 There’s not actually enough room under most cars for somebody to hide under
24:42,720 24:46,880 No, not unless you’re like a child. Yes children
24:46,880 24:49,440 Or if you have like really high
24:49,440 24:56,080 Wheels because you’re in like like a super large truck or something, which you know like under they kind of deserve it anyway
24:56,080 25:04,840 Wait, Annabelle was a Raggedy Ann doll?
25:04,840 25:05,840 Yeah.
25:05,840 25:06,840 I didn’t know that.
25:06,840 25:08,280 I only know the movie.
25:08,280 25:12,680 She was a, the real Annabelle is like that little redhead doll.
25:12,680 25:14,480 Yeah, I had no idea.
25:14,480 25:15,480 You think she really looks like that?
25:15,480 25:16,480 Do you think that inspired Chucky?
25:16,480 25:19,280 I just figured she was just a doll.
25:19,280 25:21,720 I didn’t know that she was specifically a Raggedy Ann doll.
25:21,720 25:22,720 Oh my god, Annabelle.
25:22,720 25:25,120 Wait, who was first, Annabelle or Chucky?
25:25,120 25:26,480 – Annabelle was definitely first.
25:26,480 25:27,320 – Okay.
25:27,320 25:28,960 – ‘Cause that was in like the 70s, right?
25:28,960 25:30,520 – Oh yeah.
25:30,520 25:35,080 With Elizabeth and Dude Warren.
25:35,080 25:35,920 – Yeah.
25:35,920 25:36,760 – I forgot his name.
25:36,760 25:37,600 (laughing)
25:37,600 25:38,440 – Dude Warren, yeah.
25:38,440 25:40,960 (laughing)
25:40,960 25:41,800 That’s his name.
25:41,800 25:42,720 – His name.
25:42,720 25:46,880 The guy.
25:46,880 25:48,440 – Dude Warren, that’s his name.
25:48,440 25:50,700 (laughing)
25:50,700 25:52,800 – Wait.
25:52,800 25:53,640 – I don’t understand.
25:53,640 25:55,000 – It’s like Elizabeth.
25:55,000 26:06,000 And I was just gonna go with it.
26:06,000 26:22,760 I’ve run out of steam on this topic.
26:22,760 26:23,920 That was great.
26:23,920 26:28,400 Now we’re talking about scary video games.
26:28,400 26:31,480 Every episode just ends in a video game corner.
26:31,480 26:37,840 Yeah, we were talking about it the other day and I really like talking about it and nobody
26:37,840 26:41,040 else knows what I’m talking about.
26:41,040 26:42,040 That’s fair.
26:42,040 26:48,520 That’s why you need to become our residential scary video game expert and get us all those
26:48,520 26:51,320 sweet sweet video gamer views.
26:51,320 26:53,320 I need to play them too.
26:53,320 26:54,760 Can we stream?
26:54,760 26:55,880 – Yes.
26:55,880 26:56,720 – Okay.
26:56,720 26:58,520 – That’s all I’ve got, just yes.
26:58,520 26:59,360 – Okay.
26:59,360 27:00,320 – We gotta figure out how to set it up.
27:00,320 27:02,600 We gotta take a weekend to set that up.
27:02,600 27:04,080 – Yeah.
27:04,080 27:05,960 – And then once we know how to do it,
27:05,960 27:08,040 it’ll be like, oh, we’ll just do it.
27:08,040 27:11,080 It’s the concept of setting.
27:11,080 27:12,260 And that’s the same thing with all of this.
27:12,260 27:15,440 The podcast was that way, the videos are like that.
27:15,440 27:18,700 The idea of never having done it is more daunting
27:18,700 27:20,360 than once you know how to do it.
27:20,360 27:21,200 – Yeah.
27:21,200 27:22,280 – Once you know how to do it, you’re like,
27:22,280 27:25,840 gotta get it done. Like just, just start. But when you don’t know how to do it,
27:25,840 27:26,640 you’re like, Oh my God,
27:26,640 27:29,400 I’m never going to start that because that’s so scary and intimidating.
27:29,400 27:33,560 But once we, once we, once we do it the first time, we’re going to be like,
27:33,560 27:36,280 we can just set a schedule and be like every whatever.
27:36,280 27:40,680 I’d really like to get back into playing more video games.
27:40,680 27:45,720 And I’d feel very brave if I played video games
27:45,720 27:47,720 with you or Vivian around me.
27:47,720 27:50,840 I think we could definitely set up some kind of like a,
27:51,000 27:56,120 We gotta figure out how to set up like a streaming thing where we can just both like, you know,
27:56,120 28:00,960 be on it and just play games on like a figure out a schedule, you know, whatever day we
28:00,960 28:01,960 want to do it and just start it.
28:01,960 28:04,320 That’s definitely something that I think would be fun to do.
28:04,320 28:05,320 Sweet.
28:05,320 28:06,320 Yeah.
28:06,320 28:07,320 We did it.
28:07,320 28:08,320 Yes, yes, yes, yes.

29:20,580 29:24,980 and I will catch you guys in the next one. Alright bye.
29:24,980 29:39,060 A famous urban legend exists in the sprawling suburbs outside of Washington DC.
29:39,060 29:42,180 The infamous Halloween tale of the Bunnyman Bridge.
29:42,180 29:47,300 According to the legend, if you visit the bridge at midnight on Halloween,
29:47,300 29:50,820 you’ll be murdered by an axe-wielding man in a white bunny suit.
29:50,820 29:56,900 Those who tell it say there was an asylum in the northern Virginia area that had closed down
29:56,900 30:01,780 due to the growing suburban development and the patients were being transferred to a local prison.
30:01,780 30:07,380 Along the way, there was an accident and all of the prisoners died except for one,
30:08,020 30:13,540 who fled into the woods and was never found again. Near a bridge in Clifton, Virginia,
30:13,540 30:19,940 many rabbit corpses were soon discovered hanging from the overpass, and the Bunnyman legend was
30:19,940 30:28,660 born.
