3:47

3:49

what am i see and office or yes as

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

of... Witches. Yes, it does. You

5:43

love your witches. I do, I do, I

5:46

5:51

10:13

that's right today folks we are off to Massachusetts

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

watch the prannos But for the listeners who do

10:36

watch the prannos if you know that town video

10:38

escapes to in like season six when they find

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

20:21

the police kept searching the

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

21:02

discovery. Finding this teenager hides even living

21:04

21:06

so quite a long time at dismissed

21:09

the passageway they found it gave him

21:25

Every single parts v abused as

May have Even more disturbing is that

21:33

in custody. It. was discovered that daniel

21:36

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

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

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

Agree with Scott fishing her the

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

25:07

her final moments and you know was a

25:10

painful the sky on a sealed anything for

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

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

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

when he broke and he was

31:42

greeted by pregnant Priscilla Gustafson thirty

31:44

31:46

year old son William. Daniel.

31:48

This time decided to escalate

33:30

possible. As. Utans over done broke

33:32

into a woman's home and kidnapped her

33:34

in her vehicle. The. Woman managed

33:36

to escape. A Daniel was spotted

33:38

by someone who had seen his photograph in

33:41

the news green arrow. It was everywhere. A

33:43

long lost Danielson hiding in a dumpster forty

33:46

eight hours after the manhunt for him began.

33:48

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
