3:51
so to succeed special this one much like that
3:53
story was name as or are because he's ellery
3:55
search for it as soon as all the heavy
3:57
lifting impact tv told me the story is briefly
4:00
A couple of weeks back when
4:02
we were recording the Dali Osterreich
4:05
story and it's wild. I'm gonna
4:07
be deadly serious right now. My
4:09
jaw hit the floor. Ladies and
4:11
gentlemen, I had to seek medical attention. It's a really really
4:13
interesting story. I heard the name but I didn't know the
4:15
story at all. So, uh... Well you did like
4:17
when I was telling the story. I think it was half or two and you're
4:19
like, Is this real? Yeah, no,
4:21
because it sounds like fake. Is this a movie
4:23
you watched? No, no, this is real. So
4:26
this is a story of Daniel LaPlante.
4:29
Or LaPlante. Which
4:32
I like, actually might say it like
4:34
that. But Dan the Plant, for you
4:37
uncoots who don't speak Le...
4:40
Non le parle flancole du le bouer
4:42
chante. It means Dan the Plant. And
4:45
yeah, I think we should just kind of get straight into
4:47
this one. So this is quite a dark story for the
4:49
folks Tom. This is a dark and
4:51
disturbing one. Keith, can I
4:53
say before we start? No, great.
4:57
Today's story is an interesting one.
5:00
We wouldn't be telling you if it ain't
5:02
an interesting story. But what's really cuckoo is
5:04
despite the tragic ending, which would lead to
5:06
some horrifying deaths in the story, there's
5:08
sort of an even more terrifying chain of events leading up to
5:11
it. Like this story would
5:13
definitely be scary enough, as you said,
5:15
without the horrific aftermath. Yeah. He could
5:17
have stopped telling the story halfway and
5:20
it's like, Holy shit, that's absolutely terrifying.
5:22
Shelves. Yeah. The story
5:24
of Daniel Le Plant, it definitely resembles something
5:26
out of a horror movie. So let's not
5:28
delay any further and give it a go.
5:30
Today's story takes us to a place which
5:32
may be best known for its top educational
5:34
institutions or for its significant role
5:37
in the American Revolution. However, to me, and
5:39
by me, I mean Keith, it reminds you
5:41

10:16
or more specifically the small town
10:18
of pepper out pepper ales
10:20
northern mass. It's on the New Hampshire border pepper
10:22
ales small It's about 10,000 people live there and
10:25
if you look Google it in pictures It's very
10:27
pretty quaint little New England town. It has a
10:29
has a covered bridge nearby Mm-hmm kind of cool
10:31
and for listeners that keys I know you don't
10:34

10:40
out He's gay. It's in New Hampshire. I think
10:43
it kind of a that's the ten It looks
10:45
like that ten like just a very small quaint
10:47
little pretty New England ten and the year is
10:51
1986 and our tale Begins much
10:53
like a classic horror story
10:57
15 year old Tina Bowen and her nine
10:59
year old sister Karen had gathered around a
11:01
Ouija board in the basement of their house
11:04
You see tragically the girl's mother
11:06
had died the year before from cancer
11:08
and they were performing a seance in their
11:11
basement as an attempt To connect with
11:13
their with their mother. It's very that is
11:15
very sad story Yeah, unfortunately,
11:17
however by the end of the session
11:19
they were unable to make any contact
11:21
with their mother's spirit or
11:25
So they thought my friend if
11:27
you can believe that Because
11:29
almost right after some very very startling
11:31
things started to happen in their
11:33
home Not nice as the girls
11:35
tried to sleep. They started hearing a light
11:40
Knocking light knocking on their
11:42
walls Wondering if their attempt
11:44
to communicate with the spirits had worked
11:46
and their mother was was trying to
11:48
reach out they excitedly began to ask
11:50
the entity questions and To
11:53
their surprise they got
11:55
a response in the form of more knocks
11:58
and Scratches
12:00
on the walls. Do you
12:02
like me doing sound effects? Oh good. It was good. Yeah,
12:04
thank you There's one knock for yes two knocks for now.
12:06
Yeah, that was a no. There was enough Yeah,
12:11
so this is actually it's that's how it like This
12:14
are really does start out like the horror movie
12:16
and you think you know It's the beloved mom
12:18
speaking from beyond but then it turns out it's
12:21
a demon the whole time I mean like conjuring
12:23
all this shit follows the same plot gotcha Yeah,
12:25
exactly, but this one really does it actually was
12:27
a demon from hell who was speaking some They
12:29
just didn't know it. Mmm. Yeah, the
12:32
girls However, we're excited that they had gotten
12:34
the chance to communicate with their mother again
12:37
however in the following weeks the
12:39
knocking became more aggressive and Frequent
12:43
disrupting their sleep and causing them
12:45
distress now their father Frank bone
12:47
He thought the girls were simply
12:49
distressed out from grief and they
12:51
were imagining things He never
12:53
really noticed anything weird or the knocking but
12:57
the unexplained events just seemed to escalate
12:59
Drinks vanished from glasses objects shifted around
13:01
the house and the TB changed channels
13:03
by itself Which is frankly just more
13:06
annoying than anything else. It is now
13:08
watching us watching the bad scheme Furniture
13:11
even moved from one side of the room
13:13
to the other as if they had a
13:15
poltergeist in their home Eventually
13:18
Tina and young Karen figured that they
13:20
were being haunted by a malicious Demon
13:22
not the spirit of their mother as
13:24
they had they had initially thought the
13:27
knocking kept getting louder and louder
13:29
Starting in the girls rooms, but
13:31
soon spreading throughout the house One
13:34
day as they sat in the
13:37
living room. They heard the knocking from
13:39
beneath them Scared out of
13:41
their wits but desperate for answers. They grabbed
13:43
a kitchen knife and headed down into their
13:45
basement There they
13:48
found a chilling message
13:51
scrawled in red on
13:53
the wall I'm in
13:55
your room Come and find
13:57
me. That's their daddy's
14:00
frickin yeah no yeah
14:02
no no yeah no that's
14:04
all I say that the last thing you want
14:07
to see yeah however unlike in
14:09
a horror movie where the protagonist would investigate further
14:11
the girls did exactly what weird we would do
14:13
and they got the shit out of our house
14:15
without a second thought to get help from their
14:17
neighbor which is a very smart move we'll see
14:19
people in real life are more intelligent because if
14:21
this is a movie yes they would have gone
14:23
oh yeah do what are you gonna run by
14:25
a monster yeah yeah do what went up to
14:27
the room had a look yeah exactly no way
14:29
Jose when their dad Frank got
14:31
back yeah they explained what they found in the
14:33
basement and Frank he just was like no
14:37
having it he thought his daughters were behind to
14:39
the creepy writing on the wall playing playing tricks
14:42
on each other he was convinced it was just
14:44
grief messing with their heads and so he sent
14:46
his two daughters Tina and Karen off for counseling
14:48
how terrifying was the but they must have been
14:50
for the two girls well that is classic horror
14:52
movie no yeah when like you know you're explained
14:55
to the Atari figure the parents yeah you're crazy
14:57
yeah yeah you're nuts man especially got like the
14:59
writing on the wall it wasn't read and was
15:01
made it was meant to look like blood but
15:03
I think it's in ketchup several
15:05
weeks later on December
15:11
8 1986
15:14
Frank Tina Karen and Tina's best
15:16
friend Kathy nap they arrived home
15:18
after a day out only
15:20
to discover the house was an
15:22
absolute mess they also
15:24
noticed that the toilet had been used
15:27
but not flushed while they were away
15:29
someone left a giant shit in
15:33
here note for a Gina please insert
15:35
the video of the Scottish woman yeah
15:38
which one he has forgot that
15:40
much the father of the shit
15:43
well fucking one of you this
15:45
time however Frankie really did I think they
15:58
take it takes us house to be destroyed to actually
16:00
believe that his two daughters were telling the
16:02
truth that there was something very wrong with
16:04
the house. No girl of mine is taking
16:07
this shit. That's our big shit.
16:10
So he began to snoop her hand. He began to investigate and
16:12
see what the heck is going on. When
16:14
he walked into his teenage daughter, Tina's
16:17
room, Frank was confronted
16:19
with a disturbing message painted on
16:21
the wall. Marry me,
16:23
Tina. But that's not the weirdest
16:25
part. On the other side
16:27
of the room, Frank saw something even
16:30
creepier. There was
16:33
this young man dressed up in
16:35
his late wife's clothes with makeup
16:37
on, wearing a dress, a
16:39
blonde wig, and in one hand
16:42
the man held a hatchet. Fuck
16:45
me. Yeah. This
16:48
entity? I cannot imagine you must thought it was
16:50
like an entity or is this too freaky to
16:52
be real? This person thing,
16:54
calmly ordered the tree girls and
16:56
Frank into the bedroom where he
16:58
threatened them with his weapon. That's
17:00
terrifying. It's like um, Inyo Insidious.
17:02
The ghost woman haunting him and
17:04
Insidious. That's like that kind of
17:06
shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This
17:09
person calmly ordered the tree girls and
17:11
Frank into the bedroom where he threatened
17:13
them with his hatchet. Thankfully, Tina somehow
17:15
managed to escape. She made a hasty
17:18
getaway via the window. She dashed to
17:20
their neighbor's house and called the police
17:22
from there. However, by
17:24
the time the authorities showed
17:27
up, this man had seemingly
17:29
vanished without a trace. The
17:31
family was shaken and deeply unsettled as
17:34
they realized that the disturbances they'd endured
17:36
for almost a year were
17:38
not caused by a ghost but
17:41
by a person living in their
17:43
walls, deliberately tormenting them. The
17:46
Bowens decided to stay elsewhere while the
17:48
police investigated. Understandably too scared to return
17:50
home while this madman was still out
17:52
there somewhere and clearly had the easy
17:54
access to their house somehow. So they
17:56
held up at a nearby hotel. incident,
18:00
Frank went back to the house to
18:02
grab a few things for his girls.
18:04
However, as he approached, he spotted movement
18:06
in the front window of his house.
18:09
Squinting, he realized that it was a
18:11
man's face staring back at
18:13
him. It was terrifying. I genuinely am
18:15
wondering if this story is the basis
18:17
for so many horror movies. Yeah, right?
18:19
There's just so much going on here.
18:22
Frank wasted no time in the A Call
18:24
of the Police, noting that the intruder was
18:26
still, still in the house. But
18:28
when the authorities arrived and searched the house again,
18:31
they found no sign of anyone, just like the
18:33
first time. It was starting to feel like they
18:35
really were chasing a ghost, like this guy just
18:37
kept vanishing. He never felt safe in your own
18:39
home. And like around the time as well, I
18:41
think it was like snow as well. So they
18:43
looked all around the house and there was no
18:46
footprints coming or leaving those either. So he was
18:48
there. He was in there, but they couldn't find
18:50
him. Yeah, yeah, that's terrifying. But
18:52
they did find, however, were two family
18:55
pictures stabbed with kitchen knives and two
18:57
chilling messages scrawled on the walls. One
18:59
saying, I'm still here. Come
19:02
find me. And another
19:04
bluntly stating, I am going
19:06
to kill you, which is no read
19:08
between the lines. I can't fuck this. No
19:10
messing around there. They're not
19:12
getting my message. Really clear. I'm
19:15
being way too vague. So
19:18
where had the perpetrator gone? Clearly
19:20
he'd been hiding in the home for some
19:22
time before taking the family hostage. And Frank
19:24
had just spotted him in the front window.
19:26
But as you said, Keith, oddly enough, the police
19:28
found no footprints leading away from the house in
19:31
the snow. And this is in the middle of
19:33
winter. By the way, this reminds me, I think
19:35
it's called frogging. Okay, let me just Google this.
19:38
Mike's Google over here. It's called Frogging
19:40
windows. Somebody living in your house while
19:42
you're there. While you're there. Yeah. So
19:45
Wikipedia is a rescue. Frogging is the
19:47
act of an individual, a frog, a
19:49
ph Or Og, secretly living in another
19:51
person's home without authorization. And It's like you
19:54
hear so many of these urban legends of
19:56
these things going missing in the house. And
19:58
Then they set up a camera. Undefined
20:00
somebody getting of an email nine like dragon or
20:02
milk front of regions of us and there's a
20:04
lot of stories. the ones I was going to
20:06
minor ones for my Japan and so like that
20:09
year maybe someone a more famous I don't have.
20:11
These stories are in real similar murders, urban legends
20:13
near a of but yeah just like so. a
20:15
woman sits at the security camera in her kitchen.
20:17
she sees this crazy guy climate of her addicts.
20:19
Jesus yeah it's really scary. no way. those kind
20:21
of I get all. he also writes oh yes
20:24

20:30

20:32
I mean this is his name on and
20:34
I sent over the. As
20:37
the police kept searching the
20:39
has, they eventually came across
20:41
a false wall in the
20:43
basements. Behind. It they
20:45
saw what they initially thought was just
20:47
a pile of clothing until. They.
20:49
Realize that was in fact a person.
20:52
Sixteen. Year old Danny Appliance.
20:55
Curled up in sight when they pulled
20:57
all time out from the wall space
20:59
and arrested him they made a chilling
21:02
discovery. Finding this teenager hides even living
21:04
inside the walls of the has for
21:06
so quite a long time at dismissed
21:09
the passageway they found it gave him
21:11
access to other parts of the has
21:13
true the walls and crawl spaces and
21:15
they sent several people's scattered around alone
21:18

21:22
obsessive. the family and he had access. To.
21:25
Every single parts v abused as
21:27
connecting spaces between between the walls
21:29

21:31
May have Even more disturbing is that
21:33
in custody. It. was discovered that daniel
21:36
a plant that as you would spin on
21:38
a date with. Teen A Bone. So.
21:40
Who is Daniel Last long time? I
21:42
don't I have an answer Them and
21:44
I saw calm down. Different dump on
21:46
that has it done. The science came
21:48
into this world and nineteen seventy in
21:50
towns and Massachusetts which it's the next
21:52
town over from temporal. In
21:54
his early years he was far from.
21:57
He did not have a happy childhood
21:59
whatsoever. According to his own
22:01
account, he endured physical and sexual abuse at
22:03
the hands of his own father. He
22:05
actually had in school. When he didn't have
22:08
many friends he was often labeled as weird
22:10
or and a creepy to. This was likely
22:12
due to his be cure your behavior and
22:14
complete disregard for personal appearance and hygiene. Smell
22:16
Bastard Basic on high. I don't know if
22:18
they did vote on us and I've got
22:20
out of business as you. If you look
22:22
a photo the air. when he got a
22:24
wrestler he's he's a big response. How in
22:26
a new area around them a lot of
22:28
some photos? Hey listen, nothing better than audio.
22:30
Medium to decipher allows. My best way describing
22:32
is when you see him he looks like
22:34
he smells like. Sour milk. Oh,
22:37
I see what you mean. Yeah, He
22:40
does. He. Served as of like
22:42
he says he's got his like blacks
22:44
greasy hair when he got just looks
22:46
a teenager is was hairdresser greasy. thought
22:48
I'd recommend the disadvantages with. But
22:51
yes, you're absolutely right seat. Once
22:53
again, you nail And my friend
22:55
athletic this so he was mostly
22:57
send to a psychiatrist and diagnosed
22:59
with a hyperactive disorder. However,
23:02
Instead of helping, Daniel claimed his
23:04
doctor also sexually abused him during
23:06
their sessions for a full year.
23:09
By. The age of fifteen, Daniel
23:11
was already becoming a well experienced
23:13
home invader and burglar. However,
23:16
His interests were not just in seeing things.
23:18
Oh no. Not really tickled.
23:20
Daniels fancy was terrorizing the people
23:22
living in the houses he invaded.
23:25
He loved playing mind games and
23:27
moving objects around and meeting things
23:30
behind just so the owners would
23:32
know someone had been inside their
23:34
home in said they're safe little
23:36
space I'm inside you. Know
23:39
God just say oh the and ever precipitous. In
23:42
Nineteen Eighty Six stand the plants set
23:44
in motion me chain of events so
23:46
it at his name into in semi.
23:49
According to what some people say, Daniel.
23:51
Acquired the Bone family phone number
23:54
following a break in out there
23:56
residents. He then proceeded to may
23:58
cause to the home. The Protein
24:00
and saying that he had gotten her number
24:02
true a friend at her school and thought
24:04
she was very pretty. He. Described herself
24:07
as blonde, tall, athletic, a far
24:09
cry from his true appearance space.
24:11
Agree with Scott fishing her the
24:13
very first Catfish Daniel unseen are
24:15
they were talking the phone often
24:18
anonymously a friendship blossoms. Tina.
24:20
Agreed to go on dates with Daniel, however
24:22
when he showed up to that was looking
24:24
pretty much the opposite of what he described
24:26
himself as she got a bit of a
24:28
shock. But. Seen as being be nice
24:30
person that she is, she decided to give
24:32
Daniel the benefit of the doubt and went
24:34
on a date with him. Regardless of the
24:37
noises it's like expecting when shown up. yet
24:39
why do I know as enjoy the whole
24:41
thing because his they want you were Dc
24:43
discounting though she's she's going to see you.
24:45
Unfortunately, things when says pretty quick. When
24:48
Tina confided in Daniels that her mother
24:50
had recently passed. Honestly you could
24:52
not have picked a worse person to open
24:54
up serious instead of having sympathy and just
24:57
listen to Tina as he opened up emotionally
24:59
about her grief over losing a mother. status
25:01
of these to ask him to specific questions
25:03
and details that heard you had your mother
25:05
die instead once exactly did see suffer in
25:07
her final moments and you know was a
25:10
painful the sky on a sealed anything for
25:12
you notice kind shit like he wanted to
25:14
know exactly eighteen and her sister felt when
25:16
they send at her mother was that's because
25:18
I get into is like emotional torture porn
25:20
yeah he's a getting. Off on a. Tina.
25:23
Rightly so said to herself. But this guy I
25:25
made an excuse to leave and got the hell
25:27
out of there. She but the whole thing behind
25:30
are just hope to never see down the plant
25:32
ever again. Unfortunately, Daniels.
25:34
Obsession had only just begun.
25:37
And. As we know without the
25:39
bone family know it's He decided to move
25:41
from south into their house for the better
25:44
part of a year. Tormenting.
25:46
Than the spying on them. It's
25:48
witnessing their every move and hearing
25:50
their every conversation before he was
25:52
finally costs. Now.
25:54
He might be thinking to yourself,
25:56
oh, this story sounds unbelievable. It's
25:58
like something. The of an urban legend. Only.
26:01
Answer you would like? You wouldn't be
26:03
entirely wrong. Is he like when Daniel
26:05
started breaking into homes on terrorizing Sina
26:08
and care about they were all miners
26:10
are the time so none of this
26:12
was actually officially reported to police and
26:14
was a money papers outside? Yeah. It.
26:17
Sucks if it wasn't for to more
26:19
serious crimes does Dial commit as a
26:21
year later which were on dive into
26:23
shortly this tale of him being the
26:25
ghost in the walls or and boy
26:27
and walls or what they want to
26:29
call it a bit might have remained
26:31
hidden from the public forever a half.
26:33
So it wasn't until after these subsequent
26:35
crow crimes did press they started to
26:37
delve into Dials. Pass Them on Earth
26:39
his term say is a youthful shenanigans
26:41
of heroes and of Jesus of People.
26:43
So when they found out about his
26:45
past old holding a family hostage. With
26:47
hatches while wearing a dress and after living
26:49
and or walls it will it was too
26:52
good. Not the prince. However, Overtime
26:54
was there was a lot of details
26:56
missing. Because of that it was no
26:58
official reports people's they've taken a bit
27:00
of or artistic license to sell in
27:02
some of the gop than sensationalize story
27:04
Olympus. Noticed. Not to say that
27:06
the stories of the horses effect like
27:08
thanks to his later crimes, I was
27:10
able to source a court appeal documents
27:12
on government old Massachusetts website where it
27:14
outlines to the Grand jury a number
27:16
of his crimes were committed when he
27:18
was a minor. So. In that
27:20
document a list of crimes like
27:22
malicious destruction of property or frank bound
27:25

27:44
by Frank Baum on armed burglary as
27:47
well. And. Dissolved and web
27:49
sites at What Is No Reporters are
27:51
details like Daniel was dressed up in
27:53
here in Frank's late Weiss clothing. For example,
27:55
underwriter order sources though dare to say
27:57
he was dressed up like a ninja.
27:59
his name. That he had face paint
28:01
on or as he was dressed up
28:03
as m like tribal year. A. Force
28:05
me like the truth is we may never
28:07
know exactly what do you details are now.
28:09
however what we do know for a fact
28:11
is the horrific crimes committed by Daniel was
28:13
running into right now. Yes he did do
28:15
some murphy stuffed as for sure especially as
28:17
it had a lot of story is quite
28:20
of question marks by you know what if
28:22
the imprint, the trees or less. And less
28:24
print. Print? The Legend maybe? I
28:26
know what I'm going to live in houses or is for you.
28:28
But a different gets even free geared no matter
28:31
how he was dressed or what he was
28:33
doing. The story, it's pretty horrific. Self.
28:35
Wins have sustained Daniel. Hidden within
28:37
the walls of the Bone family
28:39
home, they promptly placed him under
28:41
arrest. From there, he found himself
28:44
confined to a juvenile detention center
28:46
until October. Nineteen Eighty Seven. Following
28:48
is this since he was moved to
28:50
and adults facility where thanks to his
28:53
mother's intervention she was able to secure
28:55
his release by posting ten thousand dollars
28:57
bail. Daniel. Then returned to
28:59
the custody of his mother and
29:01
stepfather as he waited trial. December
29:04
Eleventh, Nineteen Eighty Seven. All.
29:06
As do you know with keepers had done it's
29:08
like a month and a half you were armed
29:10
may be last you know from when he was
29:13
out on bail to win his trial for break
29:15
it into the bones but only as do you
29:17
keep his head down until fried rice. And.
29:19
Deaths Not what he did at all. That's.
29:22
For sure. Almost. Immediately after
29:24
being let out, daniels ios and
29:26
old habits die hard. he started
29:28
breaking the houses once again. He.
29:30
Burglarized one home on October fourteenth in
29:33
broad daylight only about a quarter mile
29:35
from his mother's house. And another
29:37
instance, he sold cash and two guns.
29:40
That on Nov sixteen to Nineteen eighty
29:42
seven he broke into the disgusting home
29:44
which was just you to would sat
29:46
behind his own has. Among. Other
29:48
things: Daniel took a cordless
29:51

30:01
brief google tells me those word A lot
30:03
of teaching. Daniel.
30:06
Some we did. It begin to notice that he
30:09
somehow had a lot of cash for someone who
30:11
had no job and was meant to be just
30:13
sitting at home awaiting trial. But. They
30:15
couldn't connects as adults to this one I
30:17

Once again broke into D. Gustafson

31:32
he was not expecting anyone to be home
31:35
and was planning his usual antics us moving
31:37
items around to scare the homeowners. However,
31:39
when he broke and he was
31:42
greeted by pregnant Priscilla Gustafson thirty
31:44
three years old and her five
31:46
year old son William. Daniel.
31:48
This time decided to escalate

things dramatically. He. Served at

took young William to the bathroom
32:08
and drowned the boy in the
32:10
bathtub. This was

Not the end of his hers due

This is in his head of air mass,
33:50
she says twenty minutes from his home, so
33:52
he never really got very far. When.
33:55
He was inspected. A hair belonging
33:57
to Abigail Gustafson was discovered on.
34:00
The confirming his involvement in
34:02
her murder. It was
34:04
one year later, he nineteen Eighty eight. And.
34:06
Daniels and guilty of three counts of
34:09
murder and was sentenced to three life
34:11
sentences deservedly so. Absolutely yeah, there was
34:13
under is a little Shit Show and
34:15
Frank Bowen. He was outraged that Daniel
34:17
had been allowed out on bail and
34:19
then I'll me I was. So he
34:21
was able to commit be tree murders
34:23
he said to a local paper. As
34:26
Daniel a plant does not get convicted
34:28
and gets out, I will personally kill
34:30
him. You. Can't imagine what kind
34:32
of fear we've been living in. He
34:34
is mentally insane. There's no question about
34:36
it is messed up on him. The.
34:39
Bill also like during his time
34:41
behind bars so Danny he and
34:43
he'd show Nazis zero remorse for
34:45
his actions on apart he had
34:47
no intention of serving his sentence
34:49
quietly eater. So between Nineteen Eighty
34:51
Eighth and Tell them Fourteenth et
34:53
Le Pen's he made numerous attempts
34:55
to sued courts. Alleging. That
34:58
nations old his rights and tell them.
35:00
And thirteen. he managed to make it
35:02
back in the news again when he
35:04
claimed that the prison system violated his
35:06
religious rights to practice his wicca. safe.
35:08
So wicked. It is a recognize religion
35:11
and is it the nature of based
35:13
pagan belief system founded in that the
35:15
mid twentieth century. The term wicket it
35:17
is often confused with Witchcraft Bush the
35:19
Earth Separate Week is a religion whereas
35:21
with craft is a craft and magical
35:24
practice. So you could be a which
35:26
but not a weekend. Or you could
35:28
do a which the also praxis wicket. Forced.
35:31
To be a daunting dial gather Sybil any
35:33
this I'm pretty sure his lousy was not
35:35
to be edgy bit of and nuisance for
35:37
to course. They're. Following his was
35:39
on your requests itself as a plant
35:41
as the courts to order to Dlc
35:43
to provide him with thirty six different
35:45
kinds of ritual oils. If a wiccan
35:48
do not have a particular cent of
35:50
oil aplenty implies he cannot properly performed
35:52
a spell that uses that that kind
35:54
of oil to achieve a particular result.
35:58
i was looking to get more invoke as a It's
36:00
like you give him oil and he just puts it all over his
36:02
arms and he slips out a hank up for a put on the
36:04
ground. Oh, he's gone like a shot. He's got a slip through the
36:06
bars. Yeah. Le
36:08
Plant, he requested that the defendants allow him
36:11
access to 23 different ritual
36:13
herbs. He claimed that the herbs are
36:15
an essential part of practicing Wicca. He
36:17
also asked the courts to order the defendants to
36:20
provide him with 16 different
36:22
ritual teas. He asked that he
36:24
and the other Wiccans were allowed
36:26
to wear ceremonial robes during their
36:28
corporate worship. He requested
36:30
varieties of cake for each of
36:32
their monthly full moon celebrations. And
36:35
he also requested that he be given colored
36:37
pens in order to write in his Book
36:39
of Shadows, which is required by the Wicca
36:41
face. Yes, and also I request for the
36:43
Wiccan face the key to myself and a
36:46
gun. Wiccans
36:48
are required to have guns with lots of bullets, big
36:50
bullets, really big bullets. I'll
36:54
get loads of different bullets and put them all together. Yeah,
36:56
and I'll blow a hole in the cell. I have practice
36:58
with that. So in
37:00
2017, he appealed for a
37:02
reduced sentence as well. But the judge
37:04
said that he was clearly not
37:06
regretful of his horrific crimes and upheld the
37:08
tree life sentences. Daniel
37:11
Le Plant will not be eligible for parole until
37:13
he has served 45 years. Sadly,
37:16
Andrew Guesupson, the husband and father of
37:18
Daniel's victims, he passed away in 2014.
37:21
So he wasn't allowed to see Daniel appeal to be rejected. However,
37:24
reportedly on his deathbed, he said, never let him
37:26
out. He deserves to remain in prison for life.
37:28
And I think it's safe to say that we
37:30
are all right there with him on that one. Agreed,
37:33
yeah. So that is the story of
37:35
Daniel Le Plant. I wish
37:37
he had been a fucking plant. Because
37:39
he got up some really sick ass
37:41
