Recording Scary Stories from the Middle of Nowhere! (AMA)

The host announced the launch of a new $10 Patreon tier dedicated to a movie review podcast called 'The Dead Astronauts Movie Review Podcast'. The first episode reviews 'The Exorcist' and future episodes will cover horror movies twice a month. This initiative aims to engage with fans on a new platform and explore a different content format.

I have started a new tier on Patreon. It is a movie review podcast over on Patreon. So, the first episode is about The Exorcist. We're going to keep reviewing horror movies at least twice a month, every other week over on a $10 tier over there.

A listener, Ally, was sent to her 'Uncle Allan's' remote farm for two weeks to dry out from alcohol abuse. She soon discovered Allan lived in fear, regularly leaving produce for two 'ugly' men who extorted him. Her accidental exposure to these men led to Allan being beaten and the men demanding her as 'something new to offer them,' forcing a desperate escape.

I was forbidden from leaving the house for any reason at all. Allan looked very shifty before claiming that they were his friends. To the visitors, it meant that Allan had something new to offer them instead of fruit and vegetables. Myself. Obviously, when asked if they could take me away with them for a couple of nights, Allan said, 'Hell no.'

An 1851 letter from Dr. Joseph Padet details his medical residency on the Texas frontier, specifically at Fort William. He describes the constant threat of Comanche attacks, culminating in a deceptive parlay that led to the brutal slaughter of a delegation and a fierce battle within the fort. Padet's account highlights the grim resolve of settlers and the deep-seated conflict between them and the Comanche.

With a sudden and violent screech, the Comanche overwhelmed the delegation, impaling them on their war lances. Warriors then dismounted and began butchering them alive, all within plain view of the man on the fort's battlements. The battle raged across the dusty enclosure for what seemed an eternity.

A childhood friend, June, lived on a remote homestead where her family engaged in unusual practices. Her father and brother hunted turkeys without guns, and her brother was seen with blood around his mouth, described as a 'right of passage.' Most disturbingly, June mentioned that newborn foals 'never survived for very long' because they 'came out different,' some 'didn't even look like horses,' implying a disturbing secret kept in a forbidden shed.

To this day, I wonder to myself, how the hell did they catch those birds if they didn't have guns? June's brother had all this blood and gore around his mouth and neck. June told me how they never survived for very long. And when I asked, 'What do you mean they come out different?' June told me they came out looking wrong. And then when she said that some of them didn't even look like horses, I told her not to say anymore.

The host explores various conspiracy theories surrounding the massive water and energy consumption of data centers. These theories range from storing digital twins of every individual, mass surveillance archives, and AI training data scraped from all human activity, to enabling social credit systems, biometric databases, predictive policing, and even military AI command networks. The most extreme claims suggest they store human consciousness or are part of a 'beast system' for global control.

The conspiracy crowd says they're storing things like digital twins of everyone. They claim data centers are building complete behavioral replicas of people. They say the infrastructure is for a future where everyone gets scored based on behavior. The most ridiculous claim though is they're storing literal thoughts and souls and consciousness or running a beast system mind control grid.
