00:00when my dad was around 50 he got an african gray he always loved parrots his whole life so i was
00:15happy for him to get one after his retirement he named the bird kevin my dad taught kevin a whole
00:21vocabulary of words and he actually trained him to understand the meaning behind certain words
00:25like hello what's up food thank you good and a few others my dad passed away at 70 and with that came
00:33the time to figure out amongst my siblings and i what would happen to kevin my brother and sister
00:38didn't want the responsibility of taking kevin into their homes plus their spouses were against it too
00:44but i couldn't bear the idea of giving him away to a new home kevin was and is one of my last
00:49connections to my dad in a sense that was his best friend so i decided i would take him into my home
00:55i put his cage in the den of my house my house doesn't have a basement so the den is considered
01:00the lowest level of the house kevin is a moderately noisy bird he can be a chatterbox some hours of
01:06the day usually earlier on but later in the day and at night he quiets down when he's too noisy i'll
01:12throw a blanket over his cage and that normally quiets him down i watch tv in the den at night to
01:18keep him company then around 10 i'll migrate to my room to let him go to sleep that's pretty much the
01:23backstory behind kevin i've been taking care of him for two years now so i know exactly how he
01:29behaves and when he's acting out of the ordinary speaking of out of the ordinary there was one
01:34night in december around 11 p.m that kevin started making sounds while i was trying to sleep i sleep
01:39with the door open since i live alone and need to be able to hear anything if something's going on in
01:44the house hearing him making his squawking noises past dark especially this late at night
01:49was unusual beyond doubt and something was irritating him i went down to the den to see
01:54what was bothering him he was wide awake on the lower perch of the two in the cage he looked at
02:00me and was saying things like hello and what's up and his name all the while he was nodding his head
02:05up and down moving his whole body in the process as if he were dancing i tried to feed him but he didn't
02:11eat so i covered him with the blanket hoping he would stop i was in the kitchen when i stopped inside
02:18because he was still making the noises and i had a feeling he wasn't going to stop having work the
02:23next day i couldn't afford to lose sleep because of him i really didn't know what to do i'm still to
02:28this day not exactly a bird expert i went back downstairs and uncovered him he was still doing
02:35his little dance bobbing his head and body and making his distressed sounds it didn't click with
02:40me until thinking i heard something in the pantry closet a few feet away from his cage i walked over to
02:46it and hovered my hand over the light switch to the pantry which was outside of the door the door has
02:51one of those big glass panels that many pantry doors have so when i flicked the light switch i saw the
02:57outline of a body on the inside my flight or flight response kicked in and i chose fight i opened the
03:04door screaming trying to get my adrenaline rushing and i grabbed the man in the pantry closet out and
03:09threw him to the floor he tried to fight back but i easily overpowered him and had him what i could
03:15best describe as a chokehold he was a 50 something year old homeless looking man with the smell to
03:20match it i yelled at him who are you why are you in my house he tried grabbing my face to possibly
03:26gouge my eyes or something but i continued to wring his neck and punch him during all this kevin was
03:32going berserk in his cage when the man on the floor seemed weak enough i literally sprinted for the
03:38nearest phone and came right back and kept him on the ground while i called 911. the man was taken to
03:43jail but he had no idea on him nothing he was homeless and had nothing to his name and as such
03:49he was considered what some people call judgment proof meaning even if i tried to sue him i wouldn't
03:54get anything from him he had raided my pantry closet that night and had open jars of peanut butter boxes
04:00of cookies and crackers and all sorts of other boxed and canned foods if it weren't for my dad's parrot
04:06i don't know what else that man would have taken or done in my house i'm grateful for kevin
04:11and i like to think part of my dad is watching over me in that bird
04:15this story takes place when i was a junior in high school for context here's a little background
04:29information back in the day i was a pretty involved student took all the hard classes and was in a few
04:35varsity sports in one of these ways i was always busy and didn't have much time for myself and part
04:41of me was thankful for that it provided me an escape from a world where my parents had recently
04:45parted ways and my older brother had just gone to college it was just me and my little brother then
04:50he also was a swimmer and a smart kid in his own right we were really similar even to this day
04:56but probably because of the stresses our family situation put on us at the time we didn't get along
05:01near at all one of those wet winter days in the midwest i'd put in my time at school and swim
05:08and i still had to sit down for several hours of homework this time i had to write an essay for
05:13some advanced class that i wasn't really interested in i dropped my swim bag at the door when i got home
05:18and looked around my house to see if anyone was home empty dad must be out with reese at swim practice
05:24his club team had the slot at the pool after the high school team was done i popped in a mouthful
05:31of cheese it's and headed down to the basement to my office to get some school work done the house was
05:36a middle class two-story with an unfinished basement with the exception of what i referred to as my
05:40office from a career past my dad used to work from home but no longer did i was the only one who
05:46used this place so my family or what was left of it just called it quinn's office so i made my way
05:52across the concrete floors and unattached carpet samples down there to the one finished out room
05:57in the basement i flicked on the cfl light it was like any other night after practice i still had
06:04hours of homework to do so i turned on the computer and started typing away i was typing typing for what
06:11seemed like an hour trying to bring to words to what the concept of hedonism and the picture of
06:15dorian gray meant to me as best i could or as convincingly as i could out of the dark i heard my
06:21little brother call out to me quinnie quinnie come up almost reflexively i called back to him
06:27reese i'm working what do you need we would yell through the house like brothers do but it took me
06:32a minute to realize i didn't hear him come home i got no response only for a couple minutes though
06:38again i heard my little brother's voice sing out quinnie quinnie come up it felt strange hearing
06:44those words carry across the dark concrete floor he's supposed to be at swim practice i called back
06:51out to him asking if he needed anything but again i received no answer i thought about just starting
06:57my essay again but the family situation was delicate at best and i didn't want to be in trouble if my
07:02little brother actually needed something i made the decision to get up and go find out for myself
07:07i bounded up the basement staircase the only way a high schooler can and i called out again for my
07:13brother reese what's up i'm really busy i checked all around the main floor looking for my little
07:18brother or even signs he was home no shoes no backpack so he wasn't home and there was no car
07:24in the driveway either the only reason my dad would be gone right now would be to pick him up
07:29satisfied i turned back for the stairs when i heard my little brother's voice ring out
07:34quinnie quinnie come up this time every hair on my body stood on end it just didn't make sense
07:40he had to be at practice and if he really needed me he would have come to me
07:45i go to the base of the second floor stairs and called out to him one more time
07:49reese what's going on are you okay for a minute no answer reese i'm really busy can you tell me
07:56what's up it's quiet for way too long as i stared up the dark staircase logically i had no reason to
08:03believe anyone was up there until i heard reese's voice calmly speak this time and not call out in
08:08a sing-song way those same four words quinnie quinnie come up what i asked under my breath
08:16i couldn't comprehend the situation i did quick inventory of any probable scenario break in wrong
08:24voice a prank i would have seen something at this point it had to be reese and maybe helping him would
08:30make me a good brother so i began up the stairs my heart pounded with each step and i was about to
08:37make the landing to the dark second floor then i heard the buzz of the garage door motor i ran back
08:43down the stairs and looked out the window it was my father's sedan and him and my little brother got
08:49out i stumbled from the window to the hall where they would enter and i felt my heart almost stop
08:54beating i collapsed on the floor and just started to cry uncontrollably
08:59this was like 15 years ago now when i was a kid i was with my best friend jackson at some
09:14abandoned family resort or bungalow colony type place in new york it was off a main road and then
09:20down a private dirt path driveway entrance and it was a rather large property with a bunch of old
09:25abandoned buildings including at least 10 small bungalows a main hall a few bathroom stations and
09:30an indoor pool house along with that was an outdoor pool a shuffleboarding area and a kid's playground
09:36everything was old run down and with tall overgrown grass growing over it we found this place
09:43accidentally one time walking down route 209 but we didn't explore it that day we came back another
09:48night by the time we went it was past sunset the sun was kissing the sky good night it was getting
09:55very dark but we didn't want to come during the day in fear of getting caught and getting charged
09:59with trespassing we brought along walkie-talkies and flashlights with us to communicate to each
10:04other when we'd split up we started looking around the bungalows together most of them looked the same
10:10and were relatively small one or two beds each a small kitchen and one bathroom each some of them
10:16had these little living room areas halfway looking through these bungalows i split off from jackson
10:22because he was moving kind of slow i tried to enter the building that looked to be the main hall or
10:27office or something but every entrance was locked i walkie-talkie jackson to tell him that the big
10:32building was locked he didn't walkie-talkie back i wondered if i was out of range from where he was
10:39two minutes later i found myself at one of the two bathroom buildings it was probably a 400 square foot
10:45building there were no doors to the building though it was unusual it just had two big openings one for
10:51the men's room one for the women's room i remember the signs being faded and worn out looking then i
10:57saw these red tracks on the dirty old concrete bathroom floor now i'm not going to sit here and
11:02say they looked like bloody footprints but i couldn't explain what these red marks could be then and i still
11:07can't say for certain now regardless it was pitch black inside that bathroom around that corner
11:12and that was the first building i was scared to enter i tried walkie talking to jackson again hoping
11:18he was in range this time i pressed the button on the walkie and said yo where are you when i let go
11:24i heard the beep sound that the receiving walkie makes after getting a message from inside the bathroom
11:31it gave me a near heart attack then i thought jackson must already be in there hence the red looking
11:36footsteps i called his name and it echoed into the bathroom i was actually about to step into the
11:43bathroom thinking he was hiding from me pranking me when i heard jackson's voice call out from the
11:47distance behind me outside in the darkness of the night i heard him getting closer couldn't see him in
11:54the dark but he obviously saw my light so i yelled back i found your walkie talkie i started stepping into
12:00the bathroom but then he said back don't go in there i never went in there this is when i turned around
12:05and hurried right out of there i pressed and released the talk button really quick on my walkie
12:10causing the beep again from inside that pitch black women's room jackson and i looked at each other for
12:15half a second then began dashing in the direction we came we made it back to route 209 and had to stop
12:21to catch our breaths this is when jackson told me that inside one of the bungalows he went into he tried
12:26walkie talking to me but i wasn't answering meaning we must have been out of range but then he heard a
12:32noise from the living area of the bungalow as he turned around his flashlight revealed an older
12:36woman almost running towards him he dropped his walkie talkie and flashlight and ran out from the
12:42bungalow he ran in the dark and hid refraining from making noise and fear of being followed
12:47he hid for a questionable amount of time before looking around and seeing my flashlight across the
12:51field over at the bathrooms the most likely explanation to me was that some cracked out drug
12:57addict was hiding or living in that abandoned bungalow and for whatever reason lunged at jackson
13:02and picked up his walkie talkie what she was doing in that bathroom who knows maybe drugs maybe the
13:08bathroom in the bungalow didn't work but what i don't know is why was there a trail of what looked
13:13like blood in there those are my theories but i can't explain all of it away and that's the scariest part
13:27perspective what I've been doing for those of us is because you don't have a ability to
13:32be in a way of birth for older him
13:43to be in the old Slai floor at home no one at all
13:49while he was asking me to know how to deny me
