Hello! Listeners Jordan here. I just wanna

0:02

let you know that you can listen

0:04

to nighttime early in ad free on

0:06

Amazon Music included with prime. You.

0:17

Are listening to the Nighttime podcast.

0:23

Hello Listeners. And welcome back to

0:25

the nighttime series covering the strange story

0:27

of the Halifax glove got in the

0:29

prior episode we heard for stories of

0:32

late night encounters with this enigmatic love

0:34

says it was strange. a disturbing as

0:36

those stories may have been, they all

0:38

had relatively happy endings. Other fellows we

0:40

met got out of the car voters

0:42

unscathed as you would hope given the

0:44

situation. but as you heard me mentioned

0:47

at the end of the last episode,

0:49

not everyone was so lucky. Tonight we're

0:51

going to hear about the dark side

0:53

of The Glove. To provide

0:55

some background information. After the release of

0:58

the first episode in the series, there

1:00

was considerable online debate about whether or

1:02

not this man was a harmless glove

1:04

salesman or something worse. Defenders

1:06

of the a Centric Glove Guy

1:09

seem to be unaware of a

1:11

detail that the Halifax Police made

1:13

no secret of. I wrote to

1:15

them asking for a statement related

1:17

to the glove guy phenomenon and

1:19

their response was surprised. I jordan

1:21

I can confirm that we have

1:23

received reports and information regarding a

1:25

man offering rides to mail pedestrians

1:27

and asking them to try on

1:29

gloves after they entered the vehicle.

1:31

Each report was investigated to determine

1:33

if anything of a criminal major

1:35

had occurred. In

1:37

May two thousand and sixteen

1:39

officers charged with one count

1:42

of committing an indecent act

1:44

in relation to one of

1:46

the reports. We. Appreciate

1:48

that this behavior may be disconcerting

1:50

and encourage anyone who has been

1:52

approached in this manner to contact

1:55

police so we can investigate the

1:57

matter. These criminal charges against The

1:59

Glove. We're new to me and set

2:01

me off on a bit of a journey

2:03

to get to the bottom of what was

2:06

so severe about this event that justifies criminal

2:08

charges. The victim in the case shop was

2:10

more than willing to share his encounter with

2:12

the dark Suffer The Glove. So it all

2:14

that said, Let's get into it

2:16

tonight and this episode are going to hear

2:19

about the time that glove guy won a

2:21

few steps to far. without

2:26

getting too much personal information to tell

2:28

me a little bit about yourself in

2:30

what your life would have been like.

2:32

and twenty six team in the south

2:35

when you got pulled I'm making sure you

8:24

try on the gloves so I got the glove again I

8:27

put it on and I'm working

8:29

it on I'm stretching the gloves and I was doing

8:31

this for about 10 maybe

8:34

15 minutes before I finally looked over and I

8:36

was really trying to focus in on what he

8:38

was doing and I just remember him leaning back

8:41

and I remember seeing his penis was out and

8:43

he was jerking it as

8:47

soon as I seen

8:50

that I took off the glove I

8:52

opened up the door I shut it and I

8:54

ran through my neighbor's yard and I cut back

8:56

to my house so you just took off right

8:58

away yeah do you did

9:00

you see him again like you just see his car leave or

9:02

did he just you know what

9:04

happened you just get out and take off I

9:06

just got out took off went in my house

9:09

and then I went to sleep and

9:12

I told my roommates what happened

9:15

and then I used to do volunteer work at

9:17

choir and I told

9:20

one of the volunteers what happened and as soon

9:22

as I said the glove guys she knew exactly

9:24

what I was gonna say because apparently it happened

9:26

to her friend as well so

9:30

at that point that's when I decided to

9:32

call the police I gave

9:34

him my story about everything

9:38

and yeah so

9:40

that's when I decided to get in

9:42

charge hey

body aches, sudden fevers, and strange

10:02

rashes. Though our minds tend to

few, these unsuspecting symptoms can start

10:11

the clock ticking on a terrifying

10:13

medical mystery. Like the unexplainable death

10:15

of a retired firefighter, whose body

10:17

was found at home by his

10:19

son, except it looked like he

10:21

had been cremated, or the time

10:23

when an entire town became ill

10:26

with nausea and chills, and the

10:28

local doctor chalked it up to

10:30

being food poisoning until people started shimping

10:32

from buildings and seeing tigers on their

10:34

ceilings. Each terrifying true story will be

10:37

10:47

you're looking for a smoking gun,

10:49

I can absolutely guarantee you, you

10:51

will not find it. In

10:54

October 2001, a series of letters filled

10:56

with a deadly powder called anthrax were

10:58

dropped into the U.S. mail system. What

11:00

started as an unprecedented case turned into

11:02

an unsettling mystery. Who sent

11:04

these deadly letters? Why? From

11:08

Campside Media and Sony Music Entertainment, I'm

11:11

Josh Dean, and this is Cover Up

11:13

Season 4, The Anthrax Threat,

11:15

available now. When

11:21

did you call the police the next day, a

11:23

couple days later? Two days after. It's

11:26

such a strange story to call and tell

11:28

the police. Do

11:31

you remember how you explained it to them and what

11:33

they said? How did that go down? I

11:37

remember when I called the police, I asked if I

11:39

could call the non-mergency line. I asked if I could

11:41

have an officer here because I wanted to tell him

11:43

the story about a man who took

11:46

his penis and jerked off when he gave me

11:48

a ride home. So

11:51

they sent officers there. They asked

11:53

for a description and I

11:55

can give part of it but I kind

11:57

of forgot. Then I remembered I had a at

12:00

his card with his face and everything onto

12:02

it, his address and all that,

12:04

that said here, this is actually his card. I remember

12:06

him giving it to me. And

12:09

where'd it go from there? So the police came, you

12:11

told them the story. Yeah, told them the

12:13

story. I also told them that one of my friends told me,

12:16

you know, happened to his, her friend.

12:19

And that's why I came

12:21

out now to, you know,

12:23

charge him. Because, you know,

12:26

if it's an on occurring thing, it

12:29

has to be stopped. Yeah. Do you

12:31

think when you talk to the cop, did you get

12:33

the impression that they were aware of this guy or

12:35

were they kind of like looking like this was a

12:38

shocking story to them? I

12:41

would say it seems more like a shocking

12:43

story or they seem a little weirded out

12:45

from it. Yeah. What

12:47

happened after you told the police? Because eventually you

12:49

faced them in court. So what happened next after

12:51

you reporting this to the police? So

12:54

after he reports the police, they

12:56

told me they'll be in contact. They

12:59

would get me a lawyer for it. Cause I

13:01

told him I want to press charges. And

13:05

then I got a message

13:09

about it. And then they said, this is my

13:11

court date, which was the following year in about

13:13

2017, if I correct. And

13:18

I met with the lawyer that time. I

13:21

told her what happened and told her that

13:24

I heard it happened to other people. That's

13:27

why I came out about

13:29

it. And what were the

13:31

original charges he was facing? I

13:37

know it was indecent exposure and we tried to

13:39

get them down to

13:42

be known as like a predator. But

13:46

I guess there was

13:48

a problem with that. I think it was more

13:50

because of the age. Okay, yeah,

13:53

2019. So you meet

13:55

with your lawyer, you tell the story, yet

13:58

you get your court date, which is a year. or

14:00

so later. So now we're in 2017.

14:03

What did you in that period of time, what did

14:05

you learn about him? Because there's so many stories out

14:07

there about the glove guy. Like you must have done

14:10

a Google search or something. I didn't

14:12

do any Google search. I didn't know until I

14:15

didn't know he was on the internet until after

14:17

you contacted me and that's when I did research.

14:19

Oh really? Okay. Yeah. So you in your mind

14:21

it happened to you and a friend of a

14:24

friend and that was about it? Yeah.

14:26

Wow. And so now

14:28

tell me about court. What was like that's

14:30

must be bizarre going to court over

14:32

something like this. Well I thought

14:34

that he wasn't gonna be there and

14:37

then when I came, truly enough

14:39

he was there. He had his

14:41

own lawyer and I remember

14:43

I was in the room with her. The

14:45

lawyer came in and asked to see the evidence and

14:48

then it was the card right? His card that

14:50

he gave me and when he looked at

14:52

the card he came back and they

14:54

asked for a plea deal and

14:57

I did accept only because I

15:00

was scared that he wouldn't get anything

15:02

because I was intoxicated at the time.

15:04

Yeah. And you know. You

15:06

don't know what's gonna happen and like what were

15:08

you aiming to do? Did you want to warn

15:11

people that this happened or were you wanting to

15:13

see him in you know in jail and treatment

15:15

or something? What was a best-case scenario for you?

15:18

If I could have my own way I wish he

15:20

would at least did some time

15:22

in jail as well as you know

15:24

get known throughout that you

15:27

know the awareness about this guy

15:29

and him getting treatment. What

15:39

was it like to see him in the room because

15:42

it's the only time you would have ever seen him

15:44

up until this point would have been

15:46

you drunk and him in a dark car. What

15:48

was it like to see him in broad daylight

15:50

in courtrooms? Very weird

15:52

you know I just felt

15:54

a little bit of a disgust. Yeah. And

15:57

I was Just

16:00

kind of worried that he would actually

16:02

try to come and you know talk to me But

16:05

I did feel a little sense of comfort

16:07

because I did have an officer right by

16:09

me the whole time kept me company Did

16:12

he the developed I have to speak during

16:14

the trial or anything like that? He

16:17

didn't say much. I Remember

16:19

the judge asked insane night So you I

16:21

heard that you're taking a plea and then

16:24

he said yes I do plead guilty to

16:26

these charges and that was but he

16:28

didn't have to explain himself or anything No,

16:30

did you have to during the trial? Did you

16:32

have to give your story of what happened or

16:35

did the lawyers handle all that? The lawyers handled

16:37

it You would

16:39

think that the story is done at this point,

16:41

but I understand After

16:43

his sentence was delivered and

16:45

you walk out of the courtroom. That's not the last time you've

16:47

seen the glove guy no, so I

16:50

remember he was supposed to get six months probation and I

16:54

remember I went downtown another time and

16:56

it had to be only three months there

16:59

was no way it was six months and It

17:02

was just outside of the dome this time and

17:06

he actually tried to pick me up again And

17:08

I said no and when he drove off I

17:10

told the police officer right away What

17:12

happened how you know about the charges and this

17:14

guy's without six month probation and he tried to

17:17

pick me up again But I

17:19

don't think they did anything Wow

17:22

Like I think if I was in your position and this happened to

17:25

me I feel really like

17:27

dirty about the whole thing like I've

17:29

never had the experience of having something like this happen

17:31

What does it feel like to have

17:34

been been through such a kind of

17:36

a gross? experience with somebody

17:38

I felt

17:40

very embarrassed I didn't

17:44

really want to tell people but You

17:47

know the more I talked about

17:49

it the more I just felt

17:52

comfortable telling people Because

17:56

it's just kind of getting

17:58

off my chest right yeah, so was

18:00

embarrassing. I did feel gross

18:02

and I was scared that people might make fun of

18:04

me but you know

18:06

people were more understanding. A

18:10

lot of the other people like to like their stories

18:12

didn't go this far. And

18:15

they kind of chalked it up to you know, it's

18:17

more like a you know, it was this weird, creepy

18:19

thing and it's kind of funny. But

18:21

I'm really getting the vibe that you don't

18:23

find anything funny about this. This is like

18:25

a serious thing. No, and

18:28

it's not funny. It's it's gross.

18:30

It's uncalled for.

18:33

Like you jumped out of

18:35

the car when this was happening. Like

18:37

do you feel like this could have progressed further? Like

18:39

maybe if you passed out in the car or something

18:41

like I'm just wondering with

18:43

your experience and what you've seen and been

18:45

through. Do you feel like this guy's a

18:47

three? I feel that

18:49

if I passed on the car, I

18:51

feel like he would have at least done

18:53

some touching. I do feel

18:56

like he would 100% done some touching if I

18:58

passed in this car then God

19:00

knows that he would have left me on the

19:02

road or anything. After the second time you encountered

19:04

him, you were kind of done with you

19:07

had no other basically run ins or information

19:09

come to you about glove guy. Tell me

19:11

about what you thought about when you got

19:13

the message from me and what you've learned

19:15

about him since. It threw

19:18

me off guard because they know my

19:20

story was online or anything. So

19:23

as soon as you message me, the first thing

19:26

I did was, you know, Google, you know,

19:28

my name, nothing came up. But

19:30

then when I googled the glove guy, everything

19:32

came up, you know, between YouTube videos

19:34

and stories online

19:37

and how he's a legend, things

19:40

like that, or a myth that people

19:42

think which is not true. A lot of people

19:44

see it as it's more like

19:46

a funny story. It's interesting and kind

19:48

of weird. But what

19:50

do you think of the story having a

19:53

firsthand encounter with this guy? Funny,

19:55

I would say is more kind of

19:57

disgusting, disturbing that

19:59

this guy goes around gets people to try

20:02

on gloves because it's fetish or

20:04

whatever and you'll jerk off

20:06

like that's not right. I

20:14

want to thank you for joining me for this episode of Neth time. A

20:17

third episode covering the glove guy will be out

20:19

in the coming days but I'm always up for

20:21

doing more. If you've had an experience with

20:23

the glove guy that you'd like to share I want

20:25

to hear from you. You can email

20:28

me at [email protected] or send

20:30

me a voice memo at

20:32

nighttimepodcast.com slash contact.

20:34

I look forward to hearing from you. Now

20:37

before we part here let me end with some things. First

20:40

a big thanks to Sean for discussing such

20:42

a delicate and traumatic experience with us.

20:45

Sean's bravery in telling his story is something to

20:47

be applauded. I'm happy to have provided a platform

20:50

for him to do it. Next

20:52

a big shout out to LJ from

20:54

the dystopian simulation podcast who provides my

20:56

intro and outro voiceovers and

20:59

Monte Dada who provides the music. And

21:01

then lastly but most importantly a thank you

21:03

to everyone who listens to nighttime as without

21:05

your interest and your support this show would

21:07

be as pointless as it would be impossible.

21:10

Now on the topic of support let me thank the

21:12

newest subscribers of the premium feed Frosty,

21:15

Shelby and Jordan. Thank

21:17

you for going premium. For anyone else

21:19

who'd like to support the show you can help

21:21

us out here in a variety of ways. First

21:23

of all the premium feed costs just a couple

21:25

dollars a month and that's the creation of the

21:27

show but the premium feed will also give you

21:29

the episodes two days early, give them to you

21:31

ad free and give you access to a full

21:33

back catalog of episodes. You

21:35

can go premium at

21:38

patreon.com/nighttime podcast. And

21:40

even if you don't want to go premium you

21:42

can still support the show by simply sharing this

21:44

episode on social media and letting all your like-minded

21:46

friends know why they should listen. Your

21:48

support in growing this is very much appreciated.

21:50

Now I'm gonna wrap it up but until

21:52

next time take care of each other hug

21:55

your loved ones tight let me know if

21:57

you see anything weird. We

22:04

shouldn't. I

22:10

have my parents don't trust or I

22:12

wouldn't listen every family has a secret

22:14

to join the line or for the

22:17

22:19
