00:00:05.668 --> 00:00:07.150
Welcome back to MVPs.

00:00:07.150 --> 00:00:12.217
What the f***, what the f***, what the f***, what the f***?

00:00:12.217 --> 00:00:17.990
Paranormal Podcast, where we talk about, well, everything the paranormal encompasses.

00:00:17.990 --> 00:00:19.033
So you ready?

00:00:19.033 --> 00:00:20.605
Let's f***ing do this.

00:00:20.605 --> 00:00:23.265
All right, welcome back everyone.

00:00:23.265 --> 00:00:28.204
I'm Evanan here with mel and wes, and if you're tuning in this evening, then you know what the deal is.

00:00:28.204 --> 00:00:32.584
Tonight we're talking about your worst nightmares, the man-eating monsters.

00:00:32.584 --> 00:00:43.465
So settle into your comfy chairs with a nice warm glass of whiskey, because, whether you're ready or not, it's story time, fuckers so, evan, talk to me, bro, what you got.

00:00:44.125 --> 00:01:00.277
Well, I got a couple stories to tell you guys about some interesting critters in the world that have allegedly allegedly killed people and or eaten maimed, you know something like along those lines.

00:01:00.901 --> 00:01:03.106
So I noticed you said world.

00:01:03.106 --> 00:01:05.771
Does that mean we're going to take a trip around the world?

00:01:06.332 --> 00:01:21.906
we are, we are so first on our list is called the beast of jevedon oh, that's a fancy word yeah, it's a place in france, apparently, I don't know I am familiar with this, are you?

00:01:21.906 --> 00:01:22.748
I am.

00:01:22.748 --> 00:01:24.790
Yes, this is a cool story, man.

00:01:24.790 --> 00:01:35.694
So the uh, the beast of jevedon is a creature that is allegedly responsible for at least 60 human deaths during the 1760s in france.

00:01:35.694 --> 00:01:41.106
Some reports put this number at over 100 deaths what oh yeah.

00:01:42.388 --> 00:01:56.454
So some of the locals originally believed and probably maybe still do, I don't know that it was a werewolf or, more specifically, a sorcerer that shapeshifted into a werewolf-type creature in order to feed on human flesh.

00:01:57.060 --> 00:01:58.284
Another shapeshifter.

00:01:58.826 --> 00:02:00.927
Yeah, man, yeah, I thought it was a werewolf.

00:02:00.927 --> 00:02:07.268
Yeah, that's what they thought, or they believed, or maybe still do, I don't know.

00:02:07.268 --> 00:02:25.067
But uh, descriptions of it were so varied at the time that most researchers, you know, believe that there had to be at least two of these creatures, because they were getting such wildly different descriptions of this thing, especially on during of the color of its fur.

00:02:25.067 --> 00:02:33.221
Sometimes it was described as like red with gray patches on it, or a big gray patch all over it, or to be red with stripes all over it.

00:02:33.221 --> 00:02:48.993
Most of the times it was like red, black and white colors, though, but it was also said to remind the witnesses that seen this thing, it was, uh, that reminded them of like a bear or a hyena and a wolf and a panther, like all combined into one, like all at one time.

00:02:49.433 --> 00:02:50.074
How would you?

00:02:50.855 --> 00:02:51.195
So many.

00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.385
How would you even combine those?

00:02:54.169 --> 00:02:54.590
I don't know.

00:02:54.590 --> 00:03:09.973
I guess it had like features of each of those things you know all along its body, and some people even said it had like this panther, like tail that was so strong that it could use it as a weapon you know that hell yeah that I wouldn't doubt.

00:03:10.033 --> 00:03:15.969
Have you guys ever been hit with like a long dog tail of like a box?

00:03:16.090 --> 00:03:18.596
maybe just a pit bull tail or a boxer?

00:03:18.616 --> 00:03:24.002
yeah, yeah, those things are devastating yeah, they're the shin killers for sure.

00:03:24.562 --> 00:03:24.923
Oh yeah.

00:03:26.383 --> 00:03:29.445
But some people said that it had cloven hooves on it.

00:03:29.445 --> 00:03:36.570
But you know, others say that this thing had claws that were so heavy and thick that it just merely resembled hooves.

00:03:36.570 --> 00:03:40.814
So it's hard to, you know, really pinpoint what this thing actually looked like.

00:03:41.134 --> 00:03:43.096
Did they do any drawings or anything of it?

00:03:43.977 --> 00:03:53.103
I think there are some drawings out there, yeah, so the head would be what?

00:03:53.103 --> 00:03:57.935
I think the head's more like a wolf hyena kind of looking thing, maybe, with like the body of a bear and the tail of a panther.

00:03:57.935 --> 00:03:59.018
Yeah, sounds wild.

00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:03.905
I'm just saying Because the feet would be horse hooves right.

00:04:04.907 --> 00:04:10.193
It's either hooves or, like claws, so thick that they just were mistaken for hooves.

00:04:11.134 --> 00:04:11.915
Is it bipedal?

00:04:11.915 --> 00:04:15.129
I mean, who's really like standing there taking the test?

00:04:15.129 --> 00:04:16.324
Sir, can you hold?

00:04:16.406 --> 00:04:16.485
on.

00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:18.668
I really have to look at these hooves.

00:04:18.668 --> 00:04:21.725
Oh, those are claws.

00:04:21.725 --> 00:04:22.288
You're right.

00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:26.423
Listen, I don't need.

00:04:26.423 --> 00:04:26.723
You're right.

00:04:26.723 --> 00:04:29.846
Listen, I don't need your sass, I'm just trying to get a visual.

00:04:31.129 --> 00:04:34.273
That dude's trying not to die and you're like look at the hubs.

00:04:34.273 --> 00:04:36.175
Can you tell me what its feet look like?

00:04:38.579 --> 00:04:40.391
Well, how long is that tail?

00:04:42.942 --> 00:04:48.848
I don't like you, join my fan club you may have a sparsely attended funeral.

00:04:51.889 --> 00:04:52.509
Do continue.

00:04:53.221 --> 00:04:59.053
So this thing's first documented kill occurred on June 30th 1764.

00:04:59.053 --> 00:05:09.413
When a mostly eaten Like flesh eaten off of her 14 year old shepherdess was discovered in the woods.

00:05:09.413 --> 00:05:16.774
Whatever killed her had preferred human flesh to all of the lambs and baby lambs that she had been herding around.

00:05:16.774 --> 00:05:17.642
It just ate her.

00:05:17.642 --> 00:05:18.526
None of the lambs.

00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:26.192
Oh, they spared the good stuff and just said you know, Just took the human Damn stuff and just said you know, just took the human, damn.

00:05:26.192 --> 00:05:26.353
Yeah.

00:05:26.353 --> 00:05:39.189
So after that it was like this long string of these similar deaths that kept happening all around the area, and majority of the deaths were all women and children that's kind of sus, don't you think?

00:05:39.189 --> 00:05:46.646
I mean, yeah, I mean a little bit, but no, men, no not yeah, not that I know of, not that the story goes anyways.

00:05:47.220 --> 00:05:55.915
So this beast terrorized this area for like three years, leaving more than 100 people dead and many more were maimed by it.

00:05:56.300 --> 00:05:57.745
Ooh, maimed by it.

00:05:57.745 --> 00:06:10.047
Oh yeah, so people had encounters with this, direct attacked encounters, allegedly survived, and that's where we're getting all these jacked up descriptions.

00:06:10.047 --> 00:06:11.310
Uh yeah, that's that's.

00:06:11.350 --> 00:06:18.422
That's what I gathered, yeah interesting it says that all of the survivors weren't weren't sure of what sort of creature had attacked them.

00:06:18.422 --> 00:06:23.007
Most of them were reported it to be like, they said, like a wolf, but not a wolf.

00:06:23.007 --> 00:06:25.791
That's literally the description they gave.

00:06:25.791 --> 00:06:55.946
Okay, after all of this was taking place, that stories began to circulate around that they were under attack from something much crazier than just some ordinary wolf.

00:06:55.946 --> 00:07:16.668
So eventually, during this time, the court of King Louis XV, I believe, they sent royal hunters out into this area to destroy, to capture and or kill this beast, you know, and the reward for that beast's head was up to like, I think at one point it got up to like 10 000 I don't know how you say that word livers, liveries, I don't know.

00:07:16.668 --> 00:07:23.766
Anyway that it was, you know well, worth over like half a million dollars today, jesus.

00:07:23.766 --> 00:07:29.149
Yeah, like it was a big bounty on this thing's head for the head of a panther wolf.

00:07:29.670 --> 00:07:33.821
Yeah, jeez, man, I want to hunt one right now.

00:07:33.841 --> 00:07:51.000
I know, man, you think that reward is still payable I don't think so just head on over, man, and put this hunt on so this bounty, obviously you know it attracted all kinds of people from far and wide to come and, you know, get their, put their hand in and try and hunt down this beast.

00:07:51.000 --> 00:08:02.982
And there were a bunch of different sightings of it and the beast had apparently been shot on several different occasions but each time it escaped, you know, unscathed or wasn't hurt enough to kill it.

00:08:02.982 --> 00:08:13.273
The hunters that were out there taking part in all of this, they ended up killing lots of wolves and they even went so far as using poison to kill, you know, whole wolf packs at a time.

00:08:13.273 --> 00:08:18.973
Even after killing all of these wolves in the area, all of the beasts' killings continued.

00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:24.952
Well, clearly somebody didn't get the memo that it looked like a wolf but wasn't a wolf.

00:08:27.843 --> 00:08:30.029
That's what I'm saying, that it looked like a wolf but wasn't a wolf.

00:08:30.029 --> 00:08:30.572
That's what I'm saying.

00:08:30.572 --> 00:08:31.795
It's like a wolf, you know, but it's, it's not a wolf.

00:08:31.815 --> 00:08:32.738
So stop killing the fucking wolves.

00:08:32.738 --> 00:08:36.466
Yeah, so in the the spring of 1767 was, you know, the lat?

00:08:36.466 --> 00:08:40.293
That was the last year that, uh, these killings were going on.

00:08:40.293 --> 00:08:46.432
But at this time, during the spring of 1767, this beast was eating people on a weekly basis.

00:08:46.432 --> 00:08:49.668
At least one person a week was getting eaten by this thing.

00:08:49.668 --> 00:09:06.513
And so in the summer of 1767, this guy named Jean Chastel he was one of the wolf hunters that were there and he killed this large, abnormally large, extremely strange looking wolf.

00:09:06.513 --> 00:09:09.567
It wasn't like, it didn't look like a normal wolf.

00:09:09.567 --> 00:09:18.673
Apparently, it had a bunch of abnormalities all over it and and it definitely wasn't common to any of the wolves that they had in the local region there.

00:09:18.673 --> 00:09:28.414
Allegedly, this guy shot this animal with ammunition that he had melted down from a silver medal of the Virgin Mary.

00:09:29.381 --> 00:09:32.548
There it is yeah, that's, that's what I'm saying there.

00:09:32.548 --> 00:09:34.585
It is the werewolf story.

00:09:34.585 --> 00:09:37.429
Allegedly that's according to the legend you know.

00:09:37.429 --> 00:09:49.111
So who knows if that's actually true or not, but this guy really did kill a really big, strange looking wolf, and after he killed this wolf, these killings did stop.

00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:51.648
After he killed this big giant wolf.

00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:56.753
After he killed this giant, you know, deformed looking panther wolf, yeah.

00:09:58.442 --> 00:09:59.746
The were panther wolf.

00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:01.325
Panther bear horse wolf.

00:10:01.424 --> 00:10:03.505
Yeah, yes, don't forget about the hooves.

00:10:03.580 --> 00:10:13.889
Apparently the wolf that he killed had this unusual black and red fur all over it and several morphological differences, like he had real short front legs on him.

00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:16.828
So he was just deformed.

00:10:16.828 --> 00:10:29.269
So maybe he was just angry because none of the other wolves wanted to play with him and he felt like he had something to prove look, he ain't fucking the murderous rudolph, it ain't.

00:10:29.789 --> 00:10:36.389
Yeah, come on, man, I mean maybe none of the other wolves wanted to play with him.

00:10:36.389 --> 00:10:39.553
You don't know, I don't.

00:10:39.693 --> 00:11:00.166
I wasn't there, so the real shitty part of this whole story is this guy, jean chastel, didn't receive any of that reward or reverence for killing this wolf why, I don't know well, I'm sure he was a local hero though he was he probably didn't have to pay at the brothel okay, now fuck the hero

00:11:00.225 --> 00:11:02.169
bullshit where's the money?

00:11:02.571 --> 00:11:04.783
that's what I'm saying that was a lot of cash back then.

00:11:04.783 --> 00:11:09.470
That's a good amount of cash right now yeah man absolutely do you think he kept the wolf?

00:11:09.470 --> 00:11:11.701
Do you think he took it to the taxidermist?

00:11:11.722 --> 00:11:12.625
apparently he did.

00:11:12.625 --> 00:11:16.900
Apparently they did mount it at the taxidermist yes, good for you.

00:11:16.961 --> 00:11:19.528
Yeah, see, so he got his prize.

00:11:19.528 --> 00:11:20.451
Man, he's a hunter.

00:11:20.451 --> 00:11:21.816
Yeah, he knows why he's out there.

00:11:21.816 --> 00:11:23.562
He's just doing his best.

00:11:23.562 --> 00:11:25.268
Yeah, he's doing his job, man.

00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:40.514
So you know after he killed this thing, the attacks did end and while it was assumed that this beast that Shastell did kill was the beast, many doubts remained that that was merely just a wolf.

00:11:40.514 --> 00:11:43.889
Like, a lot of people doubted that it was a wolf that he actually killed.

00:11:43.889 --> 00:11:49.231
They thought it was something else, like locals yeah, all the locals said that's no wolf, that's a panther wolf.

00:11:49.231 --> 00:11:51.868
Yeah, I don't know what that is, but it ain't no wolf so?

00:11:52.068 --> 00:11:52.772
so what do you think?

00:11:52.772 --> 00:11:55.039
Do you think it was this crazy?

00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.850
Uh, you know, jacked up wolf, this dude shot.

00:11:57.850 --> 00:12:02.764
Or do you think they were just dealing with a serial killer and they also had wolves?

00:12:03.307 --> 00:12:04.509
that's a really hard.

00:12:04.509 --> 00:12:12.486
You know that's a hard thing you know what I mean I mean, have you ever heard of a lone wolf killing over a hundred people over the course of three years?

00:12:12.486 --> 00:12:13.711
Like that's crazy, dude.

00:12:13.711 --> 00:12:17.423
That's a lot of people to be murdered over three years.

00:12:17.764 --> 00:12:21.572
Yeah, but I mean people would be, you know, relatively easy prey.

00:12:21.572 --> 00:12:32.982
You know, if it was, you know, a solo wolf and he didn't have the help of the pack and all of that, it would be easier to transition to people and it was the 1700s we didn't have modern weapons and stuff.

00:12:33.043 --> 00:12:33.244
Yet.

00:12:33.244 --> 00:12:38.181
I mean, if you're out there with a musket and you miss, like well hold on.

00:12:38.181 --> 00:12:51.754
Let me reload take five minutes to reload this bad boy also, can you hold up your hooves, I'd like to investigate yeah, man, just let me reload this musket.

00:12:52.835 --> 00:12:53.816
You give you a pedicure.

00:12:53.816 --> 00:12:54.397
I don't know.

00:12:54.397 --> 00:12:57.947
I think you know.

00:12:57.947 --> 00:13:01.253
Just based on the conversation, there's probably a pretty good chance.

00:13:01.253 --> 00:13:04.043
You know that they just happen to have wolves.

00:13:04.043 --> 00:13:09.855
But they were dealing with some ruthless fucking serial killer man.

00:13:09.855 --> 00:13:11.827
They had their own Jack the Ripper going on.

00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:19.461
I mean, that kind of you know would make more sense to me than some supernatural wolf running around you know murdering people, but I don't know.

00:13:20.201 --> 00:13:21.744
You know, you never know, you never know.

00:13:21.744 --> 00:13:30.673
Although, man, if they got this thing, if he got it stuffed like he did the taxidermy work on this thing, why can't we see this?

00:13:30.673 --> 00:13:32.775
Is this still in existence?

00:13:32.775 --> 00:13:35.542
Are there any paintings of this?

00:13:35.802 --> 00:13:37.365
I believe it's in some museum.

00:13:37.905 --> 00:13:44.203
to be honest with you Really what, yeah, but black and red fur.

00:13:44.203 --> 00:13:49.820
I mean, that's spot on with a lot of the people's descriptions that had encounters with it.

00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:52.067
Right, yeah, that's what they said was black and red fur.

00:13:52.421 --> 00:13:56.932
Like red as in like red, red or red as in like ginger, I mean.

00:13:56.991 --> 00:13:57.393
I don't know.

00:13:57.880 --> 00:14:00.229
I'm thinking like a deep wine, red.

00:14:00.229 --> 00:14:04.871
Maybe, a burgundy, yeah, burgundy, a good Merlot.

00:14:06.364 --> 00:14:07.150
We're stupid.

00:14:07.150 --> 00:14:07.958
Yeah, burgundy, a good merlot or stupid.

00:14:07.979 --> 00:14:09.826
Oh man, Only on sight.

00:14:10.019 --> 00:14:13.711
So it ended after he shot him and stuffed it.

00:14:14.941 --> 00:14:21.114
Yeah, the killings, the mass killings around the area and the region ended after this guy shot this thing.

00:14:21.659 --> 00:14:24.849
Or maybe he was the serial killer.

00:14:25.870 --> 00:14:29.159
Ooh, was he a local or did he come in from outside?

00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:30.924
He came in from out.

00:14:31.988 --> 00:14:37.105
Uh-huh, ma see, ma, so I don't know, he did it.

00:14:38.626 --> 00:14:39.028
Guilty.

00:14:39.428 --> 00:14:40.350
Guilty as charged.

00:14:41.331 --> 00:14:41.812
Next case.

00:14:42.192 --> 00:14:42.552
Hang him.

00:14:43.495 --> 00:14:45.147
Oh man, so fun story.

00:14:45.147 --> 00:14:45.892
It's a cool story.

00:14:45.892 --> 00:14:46.456
It's interesting.

00:14:46.456 --> 00:15:06.028
You know, you never know what was real, what wasn't real, but it was documented that that all those killings and murders did happen in that region of france during that time yeah, I knew about the, the werewolf aspect, but I never deep dove into it, so I didn't find out all these little, uh little tidbits of information it's rooted in history.

00:15:06.109 --> 00:15:16.184
It's not just like word of mouth, it's actually been documented in historical record yeah, it's pretty interesting man when you can find that in history.

00:15:16.184 --> 00:15:22.484
I think that's far more fascinating than some of the bullshit that people make up absolutely.

00:15:22.504 --> 00:15:23.446
oh yeah, for yeah, for sure.

00:15:23.446 --> 00:15:26.711
Well, if you enjoyed that, you'll really enjoy this next one.

00:15:27.111 --> 00:15:29.034
Ooh, Ooh, stay tuned, folks.

00:15:29.034 --> 00:15:30.826
All right, you tickled my fancy.

00:15:32.801 --> 00:15:35.669
So this next story hits a little closer to home here.

00:15:35.669 --> 00:15:40.652
This one comes to us out of the great states of Kentucky and Tennessee.

00:15:40.652 --> 00:15:44.068
Ooh shit, I know where you're going.

00:15:44.068 --> 00:15:57.033
This is the beast of the land between the lakes he went there, oh my god so those of you out there that are listening that don't know, land between the lakes is a.

00:15:57.033 --> 00:15:59.164
What is it?

00:15:59.164 --> 00:16:01.230
Is it just a national park, or is it like?

00:16:01.230 --> 00:16:07.823
I think it is wildlife management area or all-in-one kind of thing I think it's kind of.

00:16:07.904 --> 00:16:09.970
It's kind of a mix between those.

00:16:10.049 --> 00:16:19.716
Yeah but it's like a park 350 000 acres yeah, and it's split between uh kentucky lake and lake barkley yeah, it's a.

00:16:19.836 --> 00:16:23.686
It's a national forest there we go.

00:16:24.147 --> 00:16:24.607
It's a gem.

00:16:24.607 --> 00:16:25.610
I love it out there.

00:16:25.649 --> 00:16:28.346
It's awesome, incredible it's a beautiful place really is?

00:16:28.346 --> 00:16:29.691
It's just right down the road from us.

00:16:29.691 --> 00:16:53.287
So, anyways, there's this alleged creature that roams out there that they call the beast of lbl, and this thing is said to resemble a gigantic, you know, like seven feet tall, half man, half wolf, that walks on two legs and has five fingered human hands, vicious claws on them, kind of thing, what's with the wolves.

00:16:53.287 --> 00:16:55.785
Hey, the wolves are freaking.

00:16:55.785 --> 00:16:56.187
Scary man.

00:16:58.942 --> 00:17:00.400
They're scary, that's.

00:17:00.400 --> 00:17:01.466
That's what's up with them.

00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:05.351
And a seven foot tall one that walks like a man, that's what's up with them.

00:17:05.351 --> 00:17:06.123
And a seven foot tall one that walks like a man, that's really scary.

00:17:06.123 --> 00:17:12.181
Probably wouldn't be as scared if he was like it's a seven foot tall goat, like he wouldn't be as scared of that I mean.

00:17:12.201 --> 00:17:13.266
that would be terrifying.

00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:15.164
Seven foot tall poodle?

00:17:15.164 --> 00:17:18.948
I don't know, that would be scary as well actually.

00:17:18.948 --> 00:17:21.970
Yeah, I'm not messing with a seven foot poodle.

00:17:21.970 --> 00:17:24.102
Yeah, that's bad.

00:17:24.102 --> 00:17:25.866
I don't know, I guess anything.

00:17:25.866 --> 00:17:26.588
Seven foot tall.

00:17:26.608 --> 00:17:27.369
That's what I was thinking.

00:17:27.369 --> 00:17:28.272
Yeah, pretty much.

00:17:30.202 --> 00:17:30.585
Do proceed.

00:17:31.641 --> 00:17:43.997
This thing apparently has massive crushing jaws and glowing eyes, and some people claim it to be some sort of Native American skinwalker type thing.

00:17:43.997 --> 00:17:44.478
I don't know Of thing.

00:17:44.478 --> 00:17:44.959
I don't know.

00:17:44.959 --> 00:17:49.443
I don't know where they're getting that from, but who knows?

00:17:49.443 --> 00:18:05.694
Anyways, early accounts from French explorers and traders in this region say that they were warned of some thing that the Shawnee fur traders warned them about called.

00:18:05.694 --> 00:18:08.843
I don't know how to say this word, I'm just gonna say it.

00:18:08.843 --> 00:18:10.188
It's like loop guru.

00:18:10.188 --> 00:18:12.509
I don't know how you say that.

00:18:15.585 --> 00:18:16.327
I think you nailed it.

00:18:16.619 --> 00:18:36.868
Anyways, the Shawnee traders out there warned them of this crazy creature in the region, and a later legend claims that this monster is the spirit of a shape-shifting Shawnee shaman who was killed in wolf form by the inhabitants of his village for abusing powers or something.

00:18:36.868 --> 00:18:40.307
His spirit is said to still walk the woods in search of revenge.

00:18:40.307 --> 00:18:49.373
Yeah, so, um.

00:18:49.373 --> 00:19:04.807
Other accounts of this beast of lbl from the early days of american expansion into kentucky tell of lots of hunters disappearing in the woods, strange and unnatural howls that, uh, you know, echoed through the night in the forest.

00:19:04.807 --> 00:19:21.944
And at this time, during this time, there was, like bison that still roamed wild in kentucky, I believe, and, uh, the hunters would sometimes encounter these mutilated carcasses of these bison that were lying, just like half eaten, you know, and their throats had been ripped open by these massive claw marks.

00:19:21.944 --> 00:19:30.417
Now, who's to say that wasn't just a pack of wolves or coyotes or something else that was, you know, roaming around killing these bison back in the day?

00:19:30.699 --> 00:19:39.835
I don't know well in the beginning of the 20th century this is a story that I heard when I first got to Fort Campbell.

00:19:39.835 --> 00:20:12.508
They said that it was the beginning of the 20th century, early 1900s there was this group of old folks and they were sharing their encounters of the beast of LDL and one guy said that he was running out of one of his horse stalls because he was trying to hurry up and get all of the animals into the stalls and the beast of lbl stopped right in front of his, spread out its arms like it was gonna grab him.

00:20:13.068 --> 00:20:18.781
it howled or maybe hug him you know, wolves need hugs, they, they're angry.

00:20:19.583 --> 00:20:20.403
Yeah, I don't know.

00:20:20.403 --> 00:20:21.644
You know he's lonely.

00:20:21.663 --> 00:20:22.125
Could be.

00:20:22.125 --> 00:20:56.344
The other wolves didn't want to play with him, so, anyway, it spread its arms out like it wanted to grab him, but then at the last minute it howled and then ran past him into the sunset and he said he wet his overalls during the episode hell yeah, brother, well, and now you know he's not bullshitting man, because nobody's saying they're not in the early 1900s to say it in early 1900s a man ain't gonna say I wet my overalls unless he wet his overalls

00:20:57.326 --> 00:21:06.710
um another man said that he would hear it wail a lot at night, but it didn't sound like a wolf or coyote.

00:21:06.710 --> 00:21:15.990
It was more deeper, longer, stronger sounding than would come out of any animal that he had ever heard.

00:21:16.731 --> 00:21:18.924
So I heard it man.

00:21:19.300 --> 00:21:19.944
You've heard it Well.

00:21:19.965 --> 00:21:21.054
I mean, I heard, so I heard it, man, you've heard it.

00:21:21.054 --> 00:21:29.540
Well, I mean I, I, I heard something stop it yeah, at land between the lakes, yep swear to god tell it uh, tell the story no I don't I mean I don't want to.

00:21:30.102 --> 00:21:33.230
Yeah, no, seriously um, yeah, tell them of course.

00:21:33.250 --> 00:21:34.112
What are we talking about here?

00:21:34.112 --> 00:21:49.125
All right, so I was, I was deer hunting man, I was deer hunting and I was deer hunting man, I was deer hunting and, uh, I was deer hunting on the Kentucky side of LBO and, um, I went out I get, we were still working together, evan at the store, okay, and I took off after work, you know.

00:21:49.125 --> 00:21:58.790
So I had maybe an hour to hunt, you know, but I drive all the way out there, I get out of my truck, I got my climbing stand on my back and I'm walking down the edge of this.

00:21:58.790 --> 00:22:01.796
It was already harvested corn at the time, you know.

00:22:01.796 --> 00:22:02.917
So it's just an empty field.

00:22:03.679 --> 00:22:23.523
Walking down the edge of the field, it's probably, I don't know, two 300 yards long, and I'm about two thirds of the way back there and the woods was just dead man, it was super quiet and this it was more like a roar, you know, than a howl, um, but it was super quiet.

00:22:23.523 --> 00:22:36.282
And this it was more like a roar, you know, than a howl, but it was super deep and it was really really loud, man, almost more like, uh, like you know, when you hear cows move, they do that, that real deep, freaking move you know, it was, it was kind of like that, but but guttural.

00:22:36.584 --> 00:22:45.112
I I don't know really how to explain it, but it came from behind me back the way that I parked my truck and I stopped there for a minute and was like what the hell was that?

00:22:45.112 --> 00:22:50.893
And it did it again and I just walked back to the truck and I threw my climber in and I, I went home.

00:22:50.893 --> 00:22:52.123
I didn't even hunt that night.

00:22:52.442 --> 00:23:02.467
As a matter of fact, I've never hunted out there since man stop so for those that don't know, like if wes isn't going to hunt out somewhere there's got to be a reason.

00:23:02.487 --> 00:23:03.450
There's a problem.

00:23:03.450 --> 00:23:04.232
I won't go back.

00:23:04.232 --> 00:23:07.742
I won't go back, really, and I don't know what it was, but there's no.

00:23:07.742 --> 00:23:14.404
There's no cattle, there's nothing out there, there's nothing in those woods that can even make that freaking noise.

00:23:14.404 --> 00:23:18.673
Man, yeah, so I don't know what it was have you guys ever heard of jan's tales?

00:23:19.314 --> 00:23:26.250
no, no, no jan's tales is stories put together of experiences.

00:23:26.250 --> 00:23:38.615
It's a collection by this person named uh jan thompson and they're as, as from what I could find they were like the original source I could find for the beast of lbl.

00:23:38.615 --> 00:23:54.365
Well, apparently thompson stated that in the early 1980s they used to work midnight at the gas station that was just like right by the kentucky dam and it's right in the beginning of lbl in grand rivers.

00:23:54.365 --> 00:24:10.257
Well, he had two visitors that made him think they were possibly werewolves, but he thinks it's more like the Beast of LBL.

00:24:11.397 --> 00:24:11.917
Okay.

00:24:13.421 --> 00:24:21.075
He said after he started to shake so bad that he couldn't take it anymore.

00:24:21.075 --> 00:24:34.215
They were and it was him and I guess like two officers or something that were stuck there for like eight hours because they were too afraid to leave the booth.

00:24:34.215 --> 00:24:44.164
The two officers one was like shaking and was in a state of shock and confusion so wait, hold on, hold, on pause.

00:24:45.448 --> 00:24:57.968
These guys were running like a you know convenience store thing or this guy was, and there was two officers in there with him that ran and there was like there was like werewolves outside of this convenience store.

00:24:58.368 --> 00:25:06.590
Well, from what I understood, Thompson would hear him, okay, and he wasn't sure he was in the gas station.

00:25:06.590 --> 00:25:10.105
I don't know if Jan Thompson is a male or a female, so I'm just going to say he.

00:25:10.105 --> 00:25:24.642
But anyway, the two officers ran inside the gas station and they were scared shitless, and so they heard it and then ran inside.

00:25:24.642 --> 00:25:25.482
Well, he heard it, jan thompson heard it.

00:25:25.482 --> 00:25:27.866
Then the two officers ran in.

00:25:27.866 --> 00:25:42.440
One officer had to sit on the curb to put his head between his legs and vomit, and the other officer came in what the hell yeah, um, to get some water for his partner.

00:25:42.980 --> 00:26:06.249
There were no other customers and the officers said I don't even know how to put this they saw this like nasty shadow, like thing that would wait around the corner, and they tried to call for help, but they didn't know if anybody was going to believe them of what they saw.

00:26:06.249 --> 00:26:15.913
And it was so it was kind of like a cross between a werewolf, but they got that feeling that it was intelligent and it was a.

00:26:15.913 --> 00:26:18.528
It was going to do them harm.

00:26:18.528 --> 00:26:30.461
They wanted to warn the campers and everything else like that and call for backup, but they that when they went to one camping area everybody was dead.

00:26:30.461 --> 00:26:32.771
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I'm tracking.

00:26:32.811 --> 00:26:45.174
Yeah, I'm tracking what you're talking about motor home yeah, yeah and so when the cops went in there to warn people hey, there might be wolves in the area or we're hearing these strange noises everybody was dead.

00:26:45.174 --> 00:26:48.375
They had been ripped to shreds.

00:26:49.019 --> 00:26:49.220
Yeah.

00:26:49.962 --> 00:26:50.727
It was a motorhome.

00:26:50.819 --> 00:26:52.405
There was four people in there, I believe.

00:26:52.606 --> 00:26:54.586
Yeah, there was the motorhome.

00:26:54.586 --> 00:27:07.740
The frame had been torn, the doors were hanging by one hinge like kind of crooked, and then when they looked through the window they could see some sort of zigzagged movements.

00:27:07.740 --> 00:27:16.548
And then there were bloody handprints that slid down the thin metal walls and there was blood everywhere.

00:27:16.548 --> 00:27:23.336
The people were ripped up inside what used to be three bodies.

00:27:23.336 --> 00:27:28.326
It was a family on a happy vacation, but the clothing was ripped.

00:27:28.326 --> 00:27:40.028
Their bodies and the body parts were not just separated, but they had been torn out of the sockets, and that takes a lot of strength.

00:27:40.028 --> 00:27:42.286
That's not just something you just do.

00:27:42.286 --> 00:27:43.108
You know what I mean.

00:27:43.569 --> 00:27:43.891
Yeah.

00:27:44.320 --> 00:27:47.049
And there was a pile of bowels.

00:27:47.049 --> 00:27:54.692
All of their bowels were put in a pile, with pieces of loose flesh still clinging to the muscle.

00:27:55.121 --> 00:27:56.185
I mean, you don't want to eat that?

00:27:56.185 --> 00:27:58.167
No, you can put that over there to the side.

00:27:58.167 --> 00:28:00.402
That's a scrap pile.

00:28:00.782 --> 00:28:04.230
It was a was a father, a mother and a young son I was.

00:28:04.250 --> 00:28:06.682
I had read that there was a daughter as well.

00:28:07.103 --> 00:28:17.961
Yeah, found in the tree the daughter, daughter's half-eaten body was lodged up in a tree yeah, yeah, like way, like 20 feet in the tree, like it was way up there, tucked up in a, in a saddle or whatever.

00:28:17.961 --> 00:28:18.842
That's crazy.

00:28:19.423 --> 00:28:29.232
Yeah, I read something that that whole police incident was supposedly or allegedly somehow like covered up by the authorities.

00:28:30.474 --> 00:28:32.016
Yeah, by the men in black.

00:28:32.016 --> 00:28:32.817
Yeah, it was.

00:28:33.420 --> 00:28:38.271
I don't know something about a cover up for that whole incident, but I haven't read too much into that.

00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:49.653
I don't know much about that dude, I looked, I tried to find the you know like the police reports and just something, man, I couldn't find nothing, nothing they said that they looked at me.

00:28:49.875 --> 00:28:54.867
You know, could it been a bobcat, a bear, could it have been the?

00:28:54.887 --> 00:29:04.990
coroner said it couldn't have been a bear because the I guess the but the bite pattern that they found the snout would have been far too elongated to even be a bear.

00:29:04.990 --> 00:29:09.493
Even if it was a bear, which it couldn't be a bear you know, yeah, I mean definitely.

00:29:09.694 --> 00:29:11.201
I don't think there's any bears around here.

00:29:11.603 --> 00:29:15.000
I mean, I guess there's like I mean like they're dropping them in out in east tennessee.

00:29:15.681 --> 00:29:20.452
That's wild it was the coroner that was just like well, it can't be this, it can't.

00:29:20.553 --> 00:29:47.548
It's not a bobcat, or it would have had this and the bobcat tearing people's limbs out of their sockets not to mention keep in mind their bowels were put in a pile yeah, I mean, even if it was like, even like a mountain lion, a mountain lion is not going to do all of that like that's, that's but I mean, it would tuck your ass up in a tree that is one thing it would do and then jan thompson said that she, uh, he or she, whatever it was, they could hear it.

00:29:47.627 --> 00:29:55.925
So they didn't want to leave the gas station before the police officers ran in and they said it sounded like a kind of a growl.

00:29:55.925 --> 00:30:04.155
But it had like a clicking sound and a rough clicking growl, as if it's like kind of like a car with a bad muffler.

00:30:04.516 --> 00:30:15.413
They said have you heard the story about the same beast from the 1973, the group of Murray State University?

00:30:15.453 --> 00:30:16.115
kids, yeah.

00:30:17.583 --> 00:30:21.281
I didn't get the full story, I just knew it was a bunch of kids from Murray College, yeah, from Murray State University College kids, yeah.

00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:23.506
Yeah, I didn't get the full story, I just knew it was a bunch of kids from Murray College, yeah, from Murray State, up there.

00:30:23.506 --> 00:30:24.122
They kind of went.

00:30:24.122 --> 00:30:26.229
They went out there in LBL and, you know, went camping.

00:30:26.229 --> 00:30:29.109
They were driving this old Vita bus out there.

00:30:29.109 --> 00:30:30.987
This was 1973 after all.

00:30:31.027 --> 00:30:33.666
So Well, were they hippies.

00:30:34.540 --> 00:30:35.965
I mean pure rock stars.

00:30:35.965 --> 00:30:37.309
I hope so.

00:30:37.351 --> 00:30:38.654
I mean pure rock stars.

00:30:38.694 --> 00:30:39.036
I hope so.

00:30:42.001 --> 00:30:49.680
Well, if they were hippies, it's because you know that smell of patchouli and stuff it attracts bear slash, horse panther dogs Wrong story.

00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:56.449
It attracts hooven, beasts, hooven beasts that sound like cars with bad mufflers.

00:30:57.029 --> 00:30:57.330
Yeah.

00:30:57.330 --> 00:31:12.186
So in the middle of the night, out there, these kids, you know, these college kids are, you know, camping in the middle of the night they hear these like shuffling sounds around their campsite and it's moving all around, you know, in the leaves they get out and they shine their flashlights around.

00:31:12.186 --> 00:31:13.130
You know they don't see nothing.

00:31:13.130 --> 00:31:14.384
They're like what the hell is that?

00:31:14.384 --> 00:31:14.886
That's weird.

00:31:14.886 --> 00:31:25.550
And then all of a sudden they start hearing these deafening howling sounds, like so close right up and next to them and it was wild and insane howling.

00:31:25.550 --> 00:31:27.221
It was like all around them all at one time.

00:31:27.221 --> 00:31:39.291
Um, they were like it's like a wolf howl, but like with unnatural, like blood curdling quality that sounded almost like laughter at times, really.

00:31:39.332 --> 00:31:40.273
Yeah that's what they said.

00:31:40.273 --> 00:31:45.565
So these dudes obviously scared shitless.

00:31:45.565 --> 00:31:49.684
Playing it smart, they ran to the van or the VW bus.

00:31:49.684 --> 00:32:00.448
They take off, tearing down the road, they're hauling ass and then all of a sudden, in the taillights behind them, they see that there's this shadowy figure chasing after them.

00:32:00.448 --> 00:32:01.785
You know, chasing them down.

00:32:01.785 --> 00:32:04.146
It's barely visible back there.

00:32:04.146 --> 00:32:12.848
And as they take the corner, you know, leaving out of the campground area and headed down the road, they feel this massive jolt into the side of the bus.

00:32:12.848 --> 00:32:15.606
They peel free of it and they get all the way.

00:32:15.606 --> 00:32:16.609
They didn't stop at all.

00:32:16.609 --> 00:32:24.103
They drove all the way back to campus, didn't even stop once.

00:32:24.103 --> 00:32:27.157
They get all the way back to campus and they see these massive like claw marks torn down through the metal next to the engine compartment of the bus.

00:32:27.178 --> 00:32:27.439
You know what?

00:32:27.439 --> 00:32:30.605
That reminds me of jeepers, creepers hell yeah, it does.

00:32:30.605 --> 00:32:40.571
Scary as shit and they're in like this coke can of a vehicle yeah, in the middle of nowhere, yeah bro, and those vw buses.

00:32:41.534 --> 00:32:45.890
They can only go so fast yeah, you don't know that one might have been souped up.

00:32:45.890 --> 00:32:47.133
He might have turbocharged it.

00:32:47.133 --> 00:32:47.681
I don't know.

00:32:47.961 --> 00:32:53.191
Yeah, twin turbos so that one is left, you know, unknown.

00:32:53.191 --> 00:32:55.020
Nobody knows what the hell that is.

00:32:55.020 --> 00:32:57.348
Ain't nothing been killed out there?

00:32:57.348 --> 00:32:58.111
That was crazy.

00:32:59.134 --> 00:33:04.309
No wolves, no man and like, how much time do we spend out there, man?

00:33:04.309 --> 00:33:08.259
So much time yeah that that like how thing that I heard.

00:33:08.259 --> 00:33:09.281
That's the only thing.

00:33:09.281 --> 00:33:11.047
I've never ran into.

00:33:11.086 --> 00:33:18.450
This thing I've never seen it, you know yeah, but like you said earlier, I never do 350 000 acres like it so big.

00:33:18.450 --> 00:33:23.128
It's a massive chunk of land, but it is crazy and it is creepy, it's very creepy.

00:33:23.128 --> 00:33:31.047
It's kind of like just lingers in the back of your mind every time you go out there and you're walking around in the woods, especially at dark, you're like, oh fuck.

00:33:31.228 --> 00:33:37.352
Yeah, yeah, when you're like two and a half miles back and you're walking back with a red lens flashlight.

00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:43.126
You're like oh man, this is a bad start thinking about all the things that are real.

00:33:43.346 --> 00:33:45.271
You know you're like, oh man, these hogs.

00:33:45.271 --> 00:33:48.446
You know damn cougars and coyotes.

00:33:48.446 --> 00:34:03.056
And then you start thinking about you know the shit that you don't know, the beast, the beast, you know, it's always in the back of your mind, if there's any cryptid in LBL, it wouldn't be a Bigfoot or just a basic werewolf.

00:34:03.180 --> 00:34:07.387
It needs to be something special, just needs a better description, that's all.

00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:12.637
Well, you don't get a lot of descriptions from this thing because it kills everybody.

00:34:12.637 --> 00:34:13.679
It comes in contact Bro.

00:34:13.699 --> 00:34:17.030
it had a whole bunch of college students in the VW van.

00:34:17.030 --> 00:34:28.875
It tried to kill them they just you know, know they got away the power of the bus was too strong number one twin turbos there's no power in vw buses number two.

00:34:28.875 --> 00:34:37.748
Come on, you don't think there's not one person in that fucking bus that wasn't looking out the window saying it's getting closer, it, it's almost here.

00:34:37.748 --> 00:34:42.340
Really, I'm not saying a horror movie Everybody's looking forward.

00:34:42.340 --> 00:34:43.384
No, they're going to.

00:34:44.222 --> 00:34:45.867
And they all had their seatbelts on.

00:34:48.280 --> 00:34:52.150
They definitely didn't smoke any weed that night either, not at all yeah.

00:34:52.431 --> 00:34:52.690
None.

00:34:53.032 --> 00:34:53.413
What?

00:34:53.413 --> 00:34:54.985
No, they did LSD.

00:34:55.125 --> 00:34:55.728
Or acid.

00:34:55.728 --> 00:34:59.148
Yeah, they were dropping tabs.

00:34:59.148 --> 00:35:05.465
Turns out there was no beast.

00:35:05.505 --> 00:35:14.186
No, it was a bad trip, that's all it was so, mel, did you have anything that you wanted to add into this?

00:35:14.847 --> 00:35:20.512
I did find a Hindu flesh-eating monster.

00:35:21.034 --> 00:35:22.474
Hindu right.

00:35:23.376 --> 00:35:27.748
Lay it on us, but apparently it's pretty big and they're called rukshasas.

00:35:27.748 --> 00:35:29.030
Have you ever heard of them?

00:35:29.652 --> 00:35:29.833
No.

00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:31.621
In Hindu mythology.

00:35:31.621 --> 00:35:45.806
They are bloodthirsty demons that were banished from the realm of the gods and they have to live on earth as some sort of beast, and they make mankind its prey.

00:35:45.806 --> 00:35:59.315
They are as evil as evil can be, and they claim that a few of them formed alliances with noble armies and fought in battle with them back in the ancient times.

00:35:59.695 --> 00:36:01.644
All right, you've piqued my interest.

00:36:01.965 --> 00:36:03.110
That's badass.

00:36:03.150 --> 00:36:03.371
Yeah.

00:36:04.101 --> 00:36:16.387
There's actually lots of sculptures and paintings of Rakshasas, so their shape is basically human, but they're exceptionally tall like giants, almost exceptionally tall like giants.

00:36:16.387 --> 00:36:32.485
Almost their limbs are like twice as thick as a regular person's, but they have fangs that come out of the corner of their lips.

00:36:32.485 --> 00:36:34.507
They've got claws for fingers and toes.

00:36:34.507 --> 00:36:39.240
They have bull-like horns that grow from not just the sides of their head, it can come from the front or the back.

00:36:39.420 --> 00:36:40.202
Like a unicorn.

00:36:40.842 --> 00:36:44.326
But there's multiple horns because, it's a weapon as well.

00:36:44.326 --> 00:36:54.737
Their eyes are kind of like piggish, but they glow and they have manes, and the stronger ones have multiple heads.

00:36:54.737 --> 00:36:58.005
What they fly, they spit, fire.

00:36:58.005 --> 00:37:05.744
They possess dead corpses and then we'll use those to attack the enemies fucking.

00:37:05.824 --> 00:37:07.989
Oh, my necromancers now we've got to draw.

00:37:07.989 --> 00:37:12.188
Yeah, we've got to draw the line these things can't just do everything.

00:37:12.228 --> 00:37:17.382
Yes, they can, and apparently they can magic, for their magic is illusion.

00:37:17.382 --> 00:37:24.688
Now they're tricksters too, but they're extremely difficult to kill I imagine they, they are.

00:37:24.688 --> 00:37:36.146
They get their strength at night, but they have an insatiable taste for human flesh insatiable taste for the dead Cue Rob.

00:37:36.166 --> 00:37:38.548
Zombie.

00:37:39.550 --> 00:37:54.182
Not only do Hindus believe in this, but Buddhists do as well, and Buddhists claim that the Buddha himself encountered one who threatened to eat the Buddha if he couldn't answer the riddles.

00:37:54.182 --> 00:37:59.673
But you know, buddha is all knowing, and so they were able to protect it.

00:37:59.673 --> 00:38:08.873
The females they make themselves super beautiful to lure in the men, and then they eat them alive.

00:38:08.873 --> 00:38:10.896
Dang what?

00:38:10.896 --> 00:38:14.269
They eat them alive from the middle.

00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:17.510
It's good that they don't start eating you at the feet, though.

00:38:17.639 --> 00:38:20.382
Yeah, that would be frowned upon but they want you to.

00:38:20.382 --> 00:38:22.791
That would suck the thing is, is they want you to suffer?

00:38:25.103 --> 00:38:26.326
then they should start at the feet.

00:38:26.326 --> 00:38:28.389
Yeah, they're fucking up no, they.

00:38:28.570 --> 00:38:38.608
They start in the, they rip your innards out, and then I mean they torture you as they eat you yeah, but I'm not gonna suffer for very long if you're ripping my innards out.

00:38:38.608 --> 00:38:39.371
I'm going to die pretty quickly.

00:38:39.371 --> 00:38:40.036
You'd be surprised.

00:38:40.036 --> 00:38:40.820
That is not true.

00:38:40.820 --> 00:38:41.958
You want me to suffer, you start at my toes.

00:38:41.958 --> 00:38:46.969
A person can live for a while, even though they've been abdominally eviscerated.

00:38:47.260 --> 00:38:48.565
I guess you would be the one to know.

00:38:48.887 --> 00:38:52.489
I would Wait, wait, that came across really weird people.

00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:02.842
That came across really weird I don't eat innards.

00:39:02.842 --> 00:39:03.143
Yes it did.

00:39:03.143 --> 00:39:03.643
Yeah, yes, yes, it did.

00:39:03.643 --> 00:39:03.903
That was.

00:39:03.903 --> 00:39:04.445
That was weird as fuck.

00:39:04.445 --> 00:39:04.826
The end, allegedly.

00:39:04.826 --> 00:39:05.467
That's crazy.

00:39:05.467 --> 00:39:07.630
Yeah, that's a weird creepy.

00:39:07.871 --> 00:39:09.920
I never heard of demon, goblin creature.

00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:11.686
Whatever the hell it is I got.

00:39:11.686 --> 00:39:15.222
I got another short one we could talk about if you guys want to go for it.

00:39:15.222 --> 00:39:17.547
Go, all right.

00:39:17.547 --> 00:39:20.373
So, jesus Mel, you crack me up.

00:39:20.373 --> 00:39:26.021
This one comes to us from Eastern South Africa, and this is known as the.

00:39:26.021 --> 00:39:29.927
I don't quite know how to say this word, but it's Malawi.

00:39:29.967 --> 00:39:30.447
Malawi.

00:39:30.608 --> 00:39:31.128
Malawi.

00:39:31.128 --> 00:39:36.420
I think it's a place, an area, region in Africa.

00:39:36.420 --> 00:39:44.842
The Malawi Terror Beast is what they call it, so it was located in the district of Dawa.

00:39:45.329 --> 00:39:48.317
Are you talking about Malawi, like the country?

00:39:48.777 --> 00:39:50.762
Yeah, malawi, that's it, the country.

00:39:50.762 --> 00:39:54.635
Yes, I don't know how to say these things, man, I'm not from Africa.

00:39:55.177 --> 00:39:57.277
Okay, this is true because you're very white.

00:39:57.710 --> 00:39:58.956
Yeah, white as shit.

00:39:58.956 --> 00:40:06.344
Anyways, in 2003, this thing caused some pretty widespread panic and chaos all across this region.

00:40:06.630 --> 00:40:08.097
Did you say 2003?

00:40:08.550 --> 00:40:09.572
Yeah, Very recent.

00:40:09.572 --> 00:40:11.840
Yes, yes, I did All right.

00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:17.742
So this thing, this actually resulted in several deaths and prompted military action within the region.

00:40:17.742 --> 00:40:29.161
Um, so, in the district of dawa in eastern south africa, um, there were some reports emerged of an unidentified animal attacking and mauling residents in the region.

00:40:29.161 --> 00:40:37.378
The unidentified creature attacked 19 different residents and killed three of them at first.

00:40:37.378 --> 00:40:39.121
And, uh, so this you know.

00:40:39.121 --> 00:40:44.418
Naturally, this is an area of the world where animal attacks are, you know, quite common.

00:40:44.418 --> 00:40:46.543
We're talking about africa here.

00:40:46.543 --> 00:40:56.175
So, however it was, you know the brutal ways in which these people were killed and maimed that struck fear into basically the entire nation there.

00:40:56.175 --> 00:41:02.684
The three deaths that it started with were of two elderly women and a three-year-old baby.

00:41:03.190 --> 00:41:11.081
Each of these people had their skulls completely crushed in them and their intestines and their genitals were all devoured.

00:41:15.351 --> 00:41:22.092
That's weird, Like that's just a weird place to start yeah, very weird, very freaking weird they ate their.

00:41:22.092 --> 00:41:33.472
We was yeah, yeah well you know two, two elderly ladies and uh some hoo-hahs and some we was, yeah, so it crushed their skulls in you know like down to the you know meat just nothing but a pile of meat there, and then ate their intestines and all of their privates.

00:41:33.492 --> 00:41:42.659
It crushed their skulls in you know like, down to the you know meat Just nothing but a pile of meat there, and then ate their intestines and all of their privates.

00:41:42.659 --> 00:41:43.940
Jesus.

00:41:44.181 --> 00:41:44.701
And that was it.

00:41:44.701 --> 00:41:45.501
That's how they left.

00:41:45.661 --> 00:41:51.686
That's how it left them Just like that Skulls crushed in intestines and privates were eaten, nothing else.

00:41:52.146 --> 00:41:53.306
What do you think happened first?

00:41:55.750 --> 00:41:56.891
I'm going to say the skull got crushed in first.

00:41:56.891 --> 00:41:58.311
Could it have been a hyena?

00:41:58.411 --> 00:42:08.358
I don't know yet that was the first thing that popped into my brain too, so get stranger All of those that were lucky enough to survive their attacks.

00:42:08.418 --> 00:42:12.280
Remember I told you there were 19 people attacked but only killed three of them.

00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:15.382
Oh, so all of these people saw this.

00:42:15.802 --> 00:42:17.344
Oh yeah, oh yeah, they did.

00:42:17.463 --> 00:42:19.545
And they didn't have blow darts or spears.

00:42:20.266 --> 00:42:20.965
I don't think so.

00:42:21.927 --> 00:42:23.708
Well, they're slacking, they're fucking up buddy.

00:42:24.650 --> 00:42:24.931
Or maybe guns.

00:42:24.931 --> 00:42:26.179
I don't think it's 2003.

00:42:26.179 --> 00:42:27.043
Maybe they had some guns.

00:42:27.650 --> 00:42:29.235
I know, but I'm still thinking.

00:42:29.275 --> 00:42:30.371
No, I don't know what.

00:42:30.371 --> 00:42:31.797
They didn't have no boomerangs.

00:42:40.730 --> 00:42:41.090
What's here?

00:42:41.090 --> 00:42:44.458
Oh no, addle, addles, come on, man listen, my biscuits not completely done in the middle right now.

00:42:44.478 --> 00:42:44.978
Go fair enough, all right.

00:42:44.978 --> 00:42:52.355
So those lucky enough to survive these attacks suffered horrific disfigurements um.

00:42:52.355 --> 00:43:01.746
Several of the victims lost either both legs or both hands, and two people lost both of their ears and eyes.

00:43:01.746 --> 00:43:07.949
One unfortunate woman had her nose and her mouth completely torn off by this creature.

00:43:08.231 --> 00:43:12.239
To gouge out their eyes and rip both ears off.

00:43:12.239 --> 00:43:14.344
That's not like one swipe.

00:43:14.344 --> 00:43:50.916
Imagine being the guy who survived this attack without and lost both of his legs I could deal with losing both legs, but if you just got attacked by this random ass beast that just ravaged your village and then you lost your eyesight and your hearing, bro, I would be that that's a whole level of p PTSD that is just a whole nother level because you're so, you can't see where you're going and you know, none of those fuck fucks are going to help you out, because they're all running in different directions and then you're just standing there.

00:43:51.409 --> 00:43:52.251
Speaking of running.

00:43:52.251 --> 00:44:06.682
In the wake of this attack, over 4000 people left the area of dawah to seek refuge in the town halls but in the early 2000s there was a lot of ethnic cleansing and wars that were going on.

00:44:07.123 --> 00:44:14.231
Who's to say it wasn't just rebel factions going through towns with machetes and then they're afraid, faces off.

00:44:14.570 --> 00:44:18.300
Well, because there was survivors of the attacks.

00:44:18.521 --> 00:44:19.182
That's what I'm saying.

00:44:19.182 --> 00:44:28.681
How do you know that the survivors wouldn't I mean you wouldn't want to put out this rebel faction that's going to blame them?

00:44:29.483 --> 00:44:30.324
I mean, I guess.

00:44:30.824 --> 00:44:31.164
I don't know.

00:44:31.164 --> 00:44:34.579
Maybe it would put them on the map.

00:44:34.579 --> 00:44:36.501
Maybe they think it'll increase tourism.

00:44:36.501 --> 00:44:37.289
It would put them on the map.

00:44:37.289 --> 00:44:38.911
Maybe they think it'll increase tourism.

00:44:38.911 --> 00:44:46.518
All you hunters can come out here to Malawi and our village and get you, get your privates yeah.

00:44:46.518 --> 00:44:51.443
But while you hunt this, you know, please partake in our fruit stand.

00:44:52.525 --> 00:44:58.115
Well, the officials you know, as official as it gets over there in that region of the world.

00:44:58.115 --> 00:45:02.364
The officials claimed that it was a hyena that was attacking these people.

00:45:02.364 --> 00:45:08.922
However, the people that saw this thing claimed that it was not any kind of hyena they'd ever seen.

00:45:09.182 --> 00:45:09.903
And they wouldn't know.

00:45:10.570 --> 00:45:17.302
Yeah, I would say they wouldn't know To this day what the beast was or where it went, remains, you know, a mystery.

00:45:17.302 --> 00:45:20.952
They never caught it, unless you believe the hyena theory.

00:45:20.952 --> 00:45:31.197
Nobody knows hyenas run and pat I mean yeah, typically, and they laugh, yeah, they make, they make funny noises.

00:45:31.217 --> 00:45:38.012
So one hyena, I would think a village could could kill it or at least hyenas are pretty badass.

00:45:38.052 --> 00:45:41.237
They are badass and they have big jaw strength is ridiculous.

00:45:41.376 --> 00:45:44.300
That's great, but you got I mean easily crush a skull.

00:45:44.300 --> 00:45:46.884
You got 25 villagers with weapons.

00:45:46.884 --> 00:45:48.126
I mean come on.

00:45:48.489 --> 00:45:49.971
Yeah, but with what weapons They've got?

00:45:49.971 --> 00:45:52.494
Blow darts and addle addles, or did they have guns?

00:45:53.255 --> 00:45:54.237
They have machetes.

00:45:54.737 --> 00:45:56.119
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:45:56.119 --> 00:45:58.724
I'm not going to fend off a fucking hyena with a machete.

00:46:05.670 --> 00:46:08.438
If it's coming at me and it's going to eat my wee-wah.

00:46:08.458 --> 00:46:10.063
I am absolutely a slash, slash, slash Wee-wah.

00:46:10.585 --> 00:46:14.898
You'll never take me alive, not me and my wee-wah.

00:46:14.998 --> 00:46:18.554
That's crazy, though, so how long did it go on for think it was just.

00:46:18.554 --> 00:46:25.048
It was just a couple months during the early months of 2003 and these people, like, like thousands of people, left that.

00:46:25.048 --> 00:46:30.550
It left that little town in that area you know to go, and they took refuge in the town halls and stuff and they were.

00:46:30.550 --> 00:46:41.157
They only returned home when they had armed guards to take them home, like they were that scared of it but then it just never, and never had like it, stopped as quick as it started pretty much.

00:46:41.217 --> 00:46:43.672
It stopped a little while afterwards and you know it.

00:46:43.672 --> 00:46:47.126
Uh, people went back to their homes you know what that reminds me of?

00:46:47.246 --> 00:46:49.594
did you guys ever see that movie, the ghost in the darkness?

00:46:49.934 --> 00:46:51.960
yes, such a good movie man.

00:46:52.000 --> 00:47:01.195
I like the movie flick I've actually seen the pair of lions yeah I went to chicago and it's in the field museum I'd want to go, man.

00:47:01.235 --> 00:47:05.472
I've seen the pictures of the taxidermy, though, and I'll be honest with you, man.

00:47:05.552 --> 00:47:22.318
I look at those lines and I'm like you guys don't really intimidate me, you know yeah, well, for those that don't know, uh, or who hasn't seen the ghost in the darkness, it back in Kenya and, like the late 1800s, early 1900s, there were these two.

00:47:22.318 --> 00:47:24.795
There were.

00:47:24.795 --> 00:47:34.679
It was a pair of male lions and in nine months they hunted humans and they killed over 130 people.

00:47:34.679 --> 00:47:53.878
Yeah, michael Douglas and Val Kilmer, they were the two in the movie, but they had to bring in the specialists from outside to hunt them and kill them, and the real bodies, they stuffed them in there in the Field Museum in Chicago Illinois.

00:47:53.878 --> 00:47:56.021
They hunted the humans for the kill, not to eat.

00:47:56.021 --> 00:47:56.264
That's what she said.

00:47:56.264 --> 00:47:56.713
So that's what this story kind of reminds me of.

00:47:56.675 --> 00:47:57.969
In Chicago Illinois, they hunted the humans for the kill, not to eat the human.

00:47:58.489 --> 00:48:00.958
So that's what this story kind of reminds me of.

00:48:01.371 --> 00:48:03.097
Yeah, this thing only ate their wee-wahs.

00:48:06.793 --> 00:48:20.842
And the reason why that to me is just so disturbing is because you guys have hoo-hoos and they can bite off a hoo-hoo, but to this sounds awful to eat the wee-wah out.

00:48:20.842 --> 00:48:23.077
I mean, how does that even work?

00:48:23.911 --> 00:48:25.797
The whole groin out of there, I guess.

00:48:25.797 --> 00:48:27.775
I mean there's nothing really to bite off.

00:48:28.016 --> 00:48:30.516
Really Everything's tucked neatly inside.

00:48:30.536 --> 00:48:32.735
I don't know, man, I don't know how it works.

00:48:32.735 --> 00:48:40.280
You know what else could crush a skull though A rock, a damn evil-ass, or maybe an ape chimp.

00:48:41.492 --> 00:48:43.478
Yeah, and those will take your nose and your ears.

00:48:43.498 --> 00:48:44.019
Yeah, they will.

00:48:44.019 --> 00:48:46.960
That's what I immediately thought of when I heard this story.

00:48:46.960 --> 00:48:51.202
I was like man that sounds like one of those evil chimps over there whatever they are that fight each other.

00:48:51.202 --> 00:48:52.717
They wage war on each other, you know.

00:48:52.717 --> 00:48:55.295
Oh God yeah, yeah man, that stuff is crazy.

00:48:55.295 --> 00:49:00.559
They like rip each other's faces off and shit all the time yeah, and they're incredibly strong.

00:49:00.599 --> 00:49:09.942
They can crush a skull with their hand yeah, they get war parties together and go to the other monkeys freaking house and terrorize them, that's nuts.

00:49:10.141 --> 00:49:11.451
Wage war on them.

00:49:11.471 --> 00:49:20.853
It's wild extremely intelligent, so they know how to chimps, chimpanzees, I don't know if those are like in this area of africa or not.

00:49:21.315 --> 00:49:21.715
I don't know.

00:49:21.715 --> 00:49:23.380
I didn't do that much research on it.

00:49:23.722 --> 00:49:27.373
I'll admit it malawi has gorillas, african gorillas.

00:49:28.293 --> 00:49:38.561
Um, oh they've got the chimps, chimpanzees yeah, all right, yeah, see it could have just been a chimpanzee could have been a rogue chimp out there just crushing people's skulls and eating their wee-waws.

00:49:38.561 --> 00:49:40.916
Vicious, just vicious, little bastards.

00:49:42.791 --> 00:49:43.596
It's just awkward.

00:49:43.596 --> 00:49:46.878
It's just unnecessarily awkward.

00:49:47.391 --> 00:49:48.530
That's all I got for you tonight.

00:49:48.530 --> 00:49:57.670
If you guys were offended by anything that we said tonight about your country or anything like that, we're Americans, we have the tact of bowling balls thing like that.

00:49:57.710 --> 00:49:59.835
Uh, we're americans, we have the tact of bowling balls.

00:49:59.835 --> 00:50:11.378
If you are from africa, we, we, we need to know, and particularly been to malawi, we kind of want to know your take, your, your, your take and um.

Yeah, that's dope as fuck man, I didn't even know that was a thing.

00:51:00.981 --> 00:51:01.764
Hope you enjoyed.

00:51:02.170 --> 00:51:03.577
What's the lesson today, Wes?

00:51:03.577 --> 00:51:05.054
How are you going to take us out of this?

00:51:05.637 --> 00:51:05.978
All right.

00:51:05.978 --> 00:51:12.023
If you're going to go to Africa, protect your hoo-ha, go, fuck yourself.

00:51:12.269 --> 00:51:15.715
As you talk about hoo-has, protect your hoo-ha and just fuck yourself.

00:51:15.715 --> 00:51:16.217
Perfect, great.
