Transcript

[radio static] [gentle music] Another night with the voices and the static. [sighs] [footsteps] [door opening and closing] [slurping] Good evening, midnight riders. This is Jack Mercer, and this is "The Witching Hour." Let's see what's out there. [upbeat music] Hello, you're on the air. Where are you calling from tonight? Jack, this is Ken, in Kentucky. You aware of the Tommyknockers? Now, Ken, Tommyknockers, these gnome-like creatures from Cornish mines, why would they surface here in Kentucky of all places? [static] Caller, I need you to speak up through that static. [static] Still with me? I guess I should start at the beginning. [thunder rumbling] Things started going south about three weeks ago at the Calico Mine. The team had just started a new vein. [suspenseful music] Foreman's pushing hard for that new vein to open up today. We knew nothing of this uncharted shaft when we accidentally broke through an unmarked tunnel. There was weird writing on the stone. The weird symbols didn't stop the men, though. They began jackhammering away. Then it happened. [men screaming] [jackhammering] Ken, were you exposed to this mystery gas? Could trigger group hallucination. I don't... [growling] No, I got out of there. I know I didn't breathe any of that stuff. Even if I did, doesn't explain what came after. Lord, what in God's name is that sound? [gunshots] They ain't human. [growling] Last thing I remember was that mine. Now I was at home, in bed. [gentle music] [knocking] The knocks followed me home. Nobody there, just those damn sounds everywhere I go. Ken, you still with me? Talk to me, friend. When did the knocks start following you? [static] We'll be back after this short break with more from Ken in Kentucky. You're listening to "The Witching Hour." I'm Jack Mercer. [upbeat music]
