so while all this was happening the

story got around

supposedly it came from this old indian

living back up in the hills here

an old indian and according to this

indian

everything that had happened was the

work of a spirit

this thing called shataba a very evil

very powerful spirit

so

legend was that it only came to life in

the winter

it had been around forever but this was

its territory

and always would be

you chased the indians tribe off a long

time ago and ran off the farmers too

it was the spirit of the wind

that's what shitaba means coyote win

come on

that's what i said well every once in a

while somebody goes crazy in podunk

the guy with a sack on his head just

like that yeah you hear all kinds of

stories

if you listen that's right and most of

the time that's

it stories what do you mean stories

just that weird tales well some of that

weird stuff happens

oh geez well it does this isn't his case

people are always scared of stuff that

they don't understand heavy

so we make up stories right based on

some pretty

creepy stuff everything's creepy to you

john

well then on the other hand they're not

always just stories

here we go come on now john no no

no no no no listen have any of you ever

heard of the moss point man

the what the moss point man i've heard

of that

that's right and i know for a fact that

it's true is this one of those bigfoot

things

no it happened near here yeah it

happened down south wasn't it

yes uh near the gulf it was in the paper

for for weeks uh lots of cops and all

like that

you mean you guys don't know about it

well let's hear it steve

you really want to hear about it we're

gonna hear it go on john tell him you

sure now

wait a minute i gotta get into the beer

this is a really strange deal harper

just goes to show you that some things

happen that you can't even imagine

weird things things that come right out

of the blue

you never know when these things will

happen and you never know where

now this particular thing happened a

couple of years ago there was this big

party at

end of school whatever some big

celebration and these two kids wanted to

leave to be uh

well but you know alone so they decided

they'd take a drive out to the sticks

and find a place to park

[Music]

now the guy roger something i can't

remember his last name

a great plan he made one small

miscalculation

he ran out of gas you know for real

ordinarily it wouldn't have been that

big of a deal but this guy roger had

also gotten them lost

they were miles away from any place

didn't have any idea where they were

and plus roger was a little drunk and

the girl had a curfew at midnight so she

was hacked off

right we're out of gas how could you do

this

uh i didn't plan it

what are we gonna do i'm supposed to be

home by 12 o'clock look i'll get you

home

i'll just go i'll get i've got a

well i don't know where i'm going to go

but i'm going to find a place if there's

a place to be found i'll find it

you're going to stay here and wait right

oh wonderful

it wasn't exactly your perfect evening

and it didn't get any better

he figured that she'd give in before

she'd stay there by herself and

she probably never thought that he'd

leave her there alone

look just uh stay put i'll be right back

but what else can i do huh

roger what do you want miracles

[Music]

roger

roger come back here

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

national park crew found the car the

next morning

they found the girl too she was tied to

a tree near the road

the amazing thing was that besides a few

bruises she was okay

physically okay anyway

there was one very weird thing

bite marks on her legs human you know

well the papers that said the coroner

said that it was um

juvenile tiny teeth marks you're

kidding and on top of the car small

muddy footprints no bigger than a child

but what about the girl yeah she was all

right

well she got all right she got a little

uh

but she stuck to her story

the whole time she claimed her attacker

had been a

well what well come on john

a little person

herself she's probably in shock john i

mean you couldn't blame her but

well anyway it sure does give you the

creeps can you imagine

i wouldn't have stayed there crazy is

right

john gives me the crazy

okay but that stuff does happen and not

believing it doesn't make it stop

happening

what about the hook

i've heard of that now me too i think

the hook

that's a hook the hook

hangs around a lake or a lover's lane

sneaks up on kids in parked cars and

slices them to pieces with his bloody

hook

stop it

one time this guy was telling me that up

in arkansas where he's from the story

about this old guy

okay

anyway this story got spread around that

a maniac

was stalking the woods where everybody

went parking right i got blown all out

of proportion there was absolutely

nothing to it

but it just so happened there was no guy

living out there alone in a shack

an old bum and he got wind of it somehow

now obviously it was a little strange to

begin with i mean living out there alone

and all

anyway he became the maniac

well he never hurt anybody or anything

you know he was a harmless old guy

but he prowl the woods at night rattling

chains and jumping on park cars

scared the hell out of everybody

suggestions yeah

sort of wait a minute sure that makes

sense

you can build things up to a point where

they really get caught the most point

man

okay john okay trying to say is that

people get ideas from things like

tv i mean there are things like that but

never mind oh i won't let them get you

you see what you're doing john what are

you doing now john yeah what are we

doing oh i told a lousy story that's

awesome no you were right

would you believe they're arguing about

spooks now steve and sally are at it

again

watch it alan come on you guys

personally i don't know what she sees

next

well anyway

i i think i'll go to the powder room

sally

sure

you got a hell of a big mouth

uh would anybody else like another beer

yeah me

you want anything laurie anybody

i think i'll have a beer

alan would you

now steve you know i was just kidding

but all this talk about ghosts and

goblins drives me crazy

it's just plain silly we're just having

fun elaine

that's all there are a lot of other

things to talk about

aren't there we talk all the time for

god's sakes and never about that kind of

garbage

what's the use elaine just

knock it off i mean nobody wants to hear

that crap

isn't harper sweet such a

nice boy

what john i just want to ask you

something

are you drunk or what no no listen uh

what do you think about liz

she's cute yeah she's lovable

be serious why

hello i kind of like her

really yeah well take my advice then

john

what don't tell her about the durans oh

cal

listen wait a minute huh you want to see

something

like what come here come here for a

second

let's see it's right along here

sometimes ah there it is

read that you're kidding

i told you look at that picture

john this happened in the 40s 1948 yeah

i know

they lost a lot of equipment and some

pretty weird stuff happened to the crew

too

read that i've seen in 20 years working

timber

nobody can tell me your guy did that to

himself with the song

no way i'd go back in there now john

look at that truck wow john wait a

minute what does jatob i have to do with

all this

what what's happening uh uh there look

no it says here that none of the

accidents were out of proportion that

they were unusual

uh a company line that was the company

spokesman there

die hard well they pulled out didn't

they

john you know what i think oh come on

what's that what are you doing in here

nothing uh dirty pictures you can't look

cal look

we'll be right in okay all right hurry

up

everybody's already talking about you

two guys

well it is pretty weird john i'll say

that much well that's about it uh

just between the two of us you sure sure

wildman and all that stuff is one thing

this is weirdness

so that's it huh well there's another

one along here someplace

you're kidding it's a disappearance

thing

this family went out camping in 1959

completely vanished

just like that pretty weird huh

there they are i told them about the

dirty pictures what were you doing

john was giving me a tour down memory

lane well come on steve's about to tell

another story oh what story

the green light whatever that is oh boy

perfect i told him about my brother's

school

where he went to college cal my brother

was a good friend of a guy who just

happened to

you haven't heard it i don't think so

well

this fraternity over there was pledging

you know and then these three guys

one of their brothers had been in before

or something anyway they couldn't get

to them you know they knew all the

tricks

so they set it up for these guys to

spend the night

in an old abandoned hotel outside of

town

that was supposed to be haunted

well it met all the requirements that's

for sure it had been a real

snazz place at one time back in the big

railroad days but it had been shut down

for years

and it got pretty run down and

very creepy

all kinds of weird stories and ghost

tales and stuff have been told about the

place over the years

but nobody really knew anything about it

one very strange thing

the word was that every so often

somebody would spot a real

dim light moving around on the upper

floors

moving back and forth and they said

nobody had ever been past the first

[Music]

floor

so it was a perfect place see for

hassling these particular pledges

kind of straighten them out now they

knew what the deal was

so naturally they were just a little bit

nervous about it

but they weren't going to let it get to

him

[Music]

just a damn minute will you

quiet they'd love to get us right now

and have a big laugh okay okay

geez this place

okay now now the main thing is to keep

cool right

check

the rules for the deal were simple all

they could take in were their sleeping

rolls

and one flashlight between them they had

to stay

inside the hotel till a car came for him

at daybreak

and they were told not to go beyond

the first floor no matter what

hey

this ought to be all right you did bring

those

matches and candles honey got them right

here in my gym sock

will be what fine

we'll set it right here

we ought to be able to see everything

from right here

or hear it

um

we're just supposed to have a flashlight

we're only supposed to have the light

look knuckle brain

listen billy anything

goes here if they stay outside like

they're supposed to

they won't see it right god

you guys just calm down settle back

and relax it's gonna be a long

night

still i i don't know about that um

one cruddy little candle

we're beating the system okay

we should have brought some beer there

to bring girls

reynolds what about her

what about her i took her out

you're kidding well we didn't go to the

prom or anything

john ray set me up with a buck night

at the drive-in

[Music]

[Music]

so this big car drives up in the parking

lot

and four or five guys in suits get out

right

so we tried to turn all the lights in

the house out but no

we heard him coming up the front there

were people scattering everywhere

there was a stack of beer cans this hot

well anyway there was money scattered

all over the place and people were

jumping out windows man somebody even

left their shoes

wow but but nobody got caught nobody

oh god are you guys gonna talk all night

or what

it's a time anyway so

almost 2 30 oh christ

into these old places

guys from the fraternity figured they'd

be waiting at the door when they came to

get them

they weren't they found their sleeping

bags

they combed the whole house from top

to bottom they called everywhere

no luck then

finally they found the door and the

secret staircase

and they found the two guys in the upper

room

they were all scratched up bleeding

exhausted circling around

under an empty light socket dangling

from a tattered old cord

hopelessly insane

one of the guys never uttered a word for

the rest of his life

they did get snatches of the story from

the other

[Music]

but well

what happened to the first guy parker

[Laughter]

okay well

the little town i'm from is very old

it's one of the oldest towns in the

whole country

full of history you know

[Music]

legends anyway

in the town there's an old catholic

cemetery

where most of the people from back then

are buried

[Music]

except for one

[Music]

lorraine

she was an old outcast left alone in the

woods near the town

horrible looking old

the indians around there practically

worshipped her

not the town's people though most of

them thought she was crazy

they say she was a witch and that they'd

burned her alive if it hadn't been for

the priests

and when she died the town's people

were able to force the priest to bury

her outside the cemetery

i've heard all sorts of stories since i

was a little girl

about what happened then

whatever something did happen

and it made those people believe that

lorraine's spirit was haunting the

graveyard

[Music]

the rain meant to have her place in the

cemetery

that's what they said she would

unless she was stopped

of course it happened a long time ago

people in town still tell the story

[Music]

and just a few years ago some kids from

our high school were doing this

project digging for old artifacts near

the cemetery

or something what they dug up

was an old unmarked grave

empty there was nothing

in it caused quite a stir

a whole town was buzzing about it

and it started to happen people started

hearing noises again in the graveyard

[Music]

seeing things and then one night

the cemetery was ransacked

[Music]

stones knocked over old tombs opened

it was awful

[Music]

vandals they said kids playing

sick jokes that's what some people said

other people said it was the rain

i don't know maybe there's nothing to it

what do you think they said they saw

but listen great just great how could

you do that john

oh we just wanted to liven things up a

little

it was a joke that's all a joke

boy winds uh really blowing like crazy

out there where

it nearly knocked us down i think

everybody's letting their imagination

run away with

it that's just for good yeah listening

it's really easy for you to see it's

true

well it is i mean here you are getting

all worked up over some crazy stories

about

maniacs and curses and spooks and

cemeteries

and wolf men or whatever that thing was

supposed to be in the window

i mean think about it what are the odds

of running into anything like that

ah the odds don't matter what i'm saying

john

is that it's all a bunch of nonsense

like flying saucers well now hold on

people have seen those

no well they have they've been dozens of

them people

think they've seen them see well what

about all the pictures people have of

them

thanks obviously

look what i'm getting at is this dummy

the really creepy things that happen

aren't supernatural

they're human very human yeah like john

right no no

not really usually there's somebody you

would never

expect actually

somebody mousy

like our little jukie there i don't

think anybody wants to hear about it

elaine

or sweet like sally i want to hear about

it

me too let's don't they're the people we

never think would be capable of those

horrible things they do

i'm not listening to this clam up will

you

they go through their whole lives

feeling ignored

unappreciated belittled used

one day they're pushed too far and

something just snaps up there they go

berserk

they do incredible things everybody's

caught off guard

shocked horrified amazed stunned

that little guy in english you mean the

girl right down the hall

you're kidding i don't believe it it

couldn't be them

that's what's weird that's

what's really scary

i went to school with a girl once i

didn't really know her

she was a sweet little thing apparently

not overly pretty

that's very nice you know wouldn't hurt

a bug

she didn't even date until we were

seniors no one even noticed her

she wasn't in any of the clubs or

anything

then a friend of mine decided to feel

sorry for the poor thing

badgered her boyfriend into lining up

somebody to ask her out

so he did but he picked the wrong

friend

after the briefest of preliminaries this

friend

took her straight to our local lovers

lane up on a bluff near town overlooking

the river

very romantic

since he gallantly offered to take the

poor thing out

this creep decided she should show a

little gratitude

i better not ah come on now you'll love

it

well tell me is this your very first

date

hey hey where you going hey wait a

minute look look i didn't need it

hey hey come on girlie wait for me

[Applause]

[Music]

oh

[Music]

oh

[Music]

um

[Music]

some people picked her up out on the

highway

she told him an hysterical story about

some

maniac who had attacked them out on the

bluff

he came upon them suddenly out of

nowhere

somehow she had gotten away the papers

ate it up

they never found the maniac of course

he continued to terrorize kids out on

the block

everyone was sympathetic for a while

but she got very strange completely

withdrew

they all took to calling her crazy annie

drove her right up the wall

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

so when she graduated her parents

shipped her off to college in another

state

so she could get away from all that

forget the awful past make new friends

she didn't make any and she avoided men

like the plague

crazy annie
