The Blackwell Ghost 5 (2020) Movie Script
(soft music)
(police radio chattering)
- [Officer] We have all units standing by.
Please stand by.
- [Man] You need to send everybody out
to the Andrew Burton Farm right now!
- [Officer] All units report
to the Andrew Burton Farm.
- [Man] Send them right now.
- [Reporter] So, we don't
know exactly what is going on
right now because the police
have shut down and closed
off this area of forest behind me.
We just overheard from
an officer not long ago
that this activity could be
due to the possible discovery
of human remains but we cannot
confirm that at this time.
We do expect that there will
be some type of informative
press conference today
given by the local police
but until then we can only
speculate as to what is going on.
- Okay, okay.
Just give me one second, I have
so much (beeping) in my head
right now, it's not even
funny, so if you won't let me
see it, if you won't
let me see it, can you
at least tell me what is
on the piece of paper?
- [Officer] No, we can't do that.
- That's why I'm (beeping) upset.
- [Officer] I know.
I know.
- Hey, man, can I at least
have a copy of this (beeping)
footage you've been shooting of me
this whole (beeping) time, please?
- One sec.
- For my next documentary.
It's the least you can
(beeping) do is give me
the footage of this thing,
I mean, Jesus Christ.
- [Terri] Okay, I'm
kinda worried right now.
Are you okay?
- I'm just really tired and
it's been a really long day.
I was too tired to find a
hotel room so I just came,
I'm at the house right now.
I'm just gonna stay tonight and then
I'm gonna head home in the morning.
- [Terri] I mean, you still
haven't told me what happened.
- You're not gonna believe it.
- [Terri] Did you find something?
- I found,
hey, I gotta go, there's
an officer here right now.
I'll call you back, all right?
- [Terri] Okay.
- All right, I love you.
- [Terri] I love you too.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- [Officer] When do you go home?
- I go home in the morning,
I'm only here for one night.
- [Officer] Okay.
- Question, what's with
the flagged off areas?
I see there's one back
there and you got one
right here, what is that all about?
Is it because of the bottle,
something in the bottle?
- [Officer] Uh, is that recording?
- Yeah.
- [Officer] Well, could
you turn that off, please?
- I'm waiting for the cops to leave.
They just came out here to
make sure I didn't tamper
with these flagged off
areas I'm about to show ya.
Here let's go outside,
a storm's about to come
so you might, it might
get a little windy here.
So they put these pink
flags just around the corner
of the house and they won't
tell me why they did it.
And there's another one
and I can see another one
back there in the corner, you
might not be able to see it.
There's another one.
So there's the house, I'm walkin' this way
and there's the flagged off area.
But, you know, right
after they found the body,
some cops came out here and
planted these flags right here
and the ones up by the corner of the house
and I have no idea because
they won't let me see
what's in the bottle,
I guarantee that this has
something to do with it.
And they came all the way
out here to make sure I
didn't tamper with this and
here I am, I'm outside of it.
And as a law abiding citizen,
I don't think I should tamper with it.
I don't wanna dig up this
area 'cause they'll know
that I was there so I'm just gonna,
I think that's about as much as I can do.
Shit.
(beeping)
All right, it didn't find anything there.
I'm not gonna go dig that up either
because they'll know I was there.
So here I am in the house.
It's gettin' late, there's
a huge storm comin' in
and as usual, I'm not prepared,
I don't have my little
block letters or the voice
machine, or the chimes,
I just have this camera and
two other little cheapos.
I really don't know
what to expect tonight,
don't have a plan, we'll
just see what happens.
It's been the longest
day of my life, I think.
I think I'm still a
little in shock, in fact
about today but I'm so tired.
I was gonna get in my car and
head all the way back home
but I'm just too tired.
So I'm here at the house
because the nearest hotel
is like 40 minutes away,
something like that and I'm just too tired
so I just stayed here.
I need a nap, I'm tired.
(knocking)
(ominous music)
(knocking)
(knocking)
(knocking)
I hope they know.
(knocking)
I hope they know what
happened to me because,
I'm thinking they know.
They must know, right?
(thundering)
Damn.
Damn.
(chuckling)
Shit.
(ringing)
- [Terri] Hi, this is
Terri, I'm not available
right now, so leave a message.
- So now that it is gettin' a little late,
I am gettin' a little scared
'cause I remember now,
the last time I was here,
I saw somethin' in that
reflection of that door over there
so I'm actually kind of afraid
to even look over there.
Yeah, I'm mainly scared of
the reflections and that.
(knocking)
Oh crap.
As I sit here, just waitin'
for the night to end.
(chuckling)
You know, my eyes just
keep going to all these
reflections out here in the glass, sorry.
And I keep wonderin'.
(thundering)
So it's 2:45 in the
mornin', I was just awake,
waitin' for the phone call to come in.
And there was a huge lightning
crash that just happened
outside the door here and I've
been scurrying around to try
to find some light, I found
a light for the camera here.
Nothin' works in here, no lamps.
I have a lantern light
here, luckily, because I'm,
otherwise just in the dark and
I have a light on the camera
here but other than that
I'm just in the dark.
That's a night vision light
but doesn't help me 'cause I can't see it.
(knocking)
(knocking)
(ominous music)
That's new.
That's new.
I've never seen that
door open, period, ever.
My God.
(telephone ringing)
(static crackling)
Hello?
Hello?
(static crackling)
(beeping)
All right, Andrew, I got
your mic hooked up now.
Could you just give me
a quick sound check?
Say anything.
- Can you hear me now?
- Perfect, got it.
- Great.
- [Turner] Interview with
Andrew Burton, marker.
- My name is Andrew Burton and I own
60 acres of property in central Florida.
I grew up on a piece of
that property and I think
it's safe to say that I know
every square inch of it.
My father was church
friends with Mr. Lightfoot
and I remember Mr.
Lightfoot used to come over
and fish on our property.
Part of our property butts
up against some water
and I remember he and my
Dad casting off the bank
just about every Sunday for a few summers.
I always thought
there was something odd
about Mr. Lightfoot.
I mean he showed up
with his bait and tackle
but I didn't think he really
wanted to do any fishing.
Like he wasn't even there to fish at all.
It was kinda like he was casing
the property or something.
I never really thought
much of it 'til now.
(ominous music)
(phone chiming)
(phone ringing)
- [Officer Ramey] This is Ramey.
- Hey, it's me, I got your message.
What's it a map of, exactly?
- [Officer Ramey] Well, that's
the problem, we can't tell
because we think it
might be another puzzle.
- All right, well, just send it over
and I'll take a look at it.
- [Officer Ramey] Well, it's
not that easy this time.
We sent you the last puzzle
because it was over 45 years old
and we didn't think
you'd actually solve it.
Internal actually got pretty
upset with us about that.
- Well, I'm confused, I
thought your message said you
wanted my help, so how can I
help if I can't see the map?
- [Officer Ramey] Well,
that's why I'm callin'.
We've started to feel our
pressures on the family
to figure things out and we
know that you're obviously
the best chance, not to
mention that they all like you.
- Right.
- And so we got to thinking
and we came up with an idea that might
get you access to everything.
- All right, how's that gonna work?
- [Officer Ramey] Now don't laugh too hard
but we can actually deputize you.
- What?
- [Officer Ramey] If we
can make you a deputy,
you can access all the
evidence without our permission
and it'd be legal.
(chuckling)
- Okay, I didn't see
that comin', do I get,
do I get a badge or a uniform or anything?
- [Officer Ramey] It's not a joke.
- Do I get a gun?
- [Officer Ramey] Do you
wanna do this or not?
Robert needs to know by the
end of the day if you're in.
- Joking aside, yes, tell
him, absolutely and thank you.
I owe him a cupcake.
- [Officer Ramey] Good,
I'll handle these forms
and get you an ID card and--
- I get an ID card?
- [Officer Ramey] Do you look
like it's lying on the phone?
- No.
- Good.
- Wait, yes, I do.
- [Officer Ramey] What?
- Can I bring my own gun?
Ramey?
He hung up.
(chuckling)
(clapping)
Wow.
And that's how it happened.
I filled out some forms and
before I knew it, I was a deputy
complete with ID badge that
gave me access to names,
addresses and all existing evidence.
My new coworkers were even kind
enough to throw me a party.
But most important to me, I
was finally going to get to see
what was in that bottle.
(dramatic music)
All right, so I got it.
Here is the, what I've been waiting on
for a really long time.
This is the contents from the bottle.
I didn't really know what that
dark spot was in the middle
right here but I found out it
just kinda resembles a palm.
It's missing the fingers of course.
I feel like there's gonna
be some significance to that
because I'm starting to
figure out how that guy
kinda thought in his puzzle
making so all we have is a palm
but let's look at what we do
know so let's start at the top
and we go to the top and we see the house.
How do I know this, because it says house
and on the corner it says the North Star,
don't know what that
means and there's a star.
But what I do know is
the last time I was there
at the house, this star
is where, this is where
the police didn't want me
digging and they flagged off
the corner of that house,
that's what this is and this
is why they flagged that area off, now
how do you get to these spots?
Well, you can go up here to the corner
and he was kind enough to
leave us this little key
and it says compass
direction over heel toes
and he's got a compass, you
know, representing north,
south, east, and west so the
compass direction over heel
toes is this little code that
he puts next to all these
dashed lines, 212 is the compass direction
and 400 is the heel toes.
Pretty self explanatory
and so when you go from
the corner here down to number one,
that is 400 heel toes is right where they,
the police flagged off
that second area I went to.
So moving on, you can do the same for each
to get to number two, so
there's the second site
and then on to three and
then finally on number four,
what I did notice was that number four
has a little sailboat over some water
and I really don't know
what that means other than
it's probably, this spot might be in water
or it's in kind of like a swamp area,
that's the only thing I can think of.
Because I know that area pretty good
and I don't remember there
being any water there.
Oh, wanted to show you something else.
I didn't really see this at first
or I did but I didn't pay
attention to it much until now
and on the back there is this little verse
or whatever you wanna call it.
Suddenly the fingers
of a man's hand emerged
and began writing on
the plaster of the wall.
The king saw the hand
that did the writing.
Daniel 5:5.
What the hell is that
supposed to mean, no idea.
Although, I do know the little
tricks of this guy's clues.
There's obviously some significance
to fingers of the man's hand
because there's a palm on the other side,
what appears to be the pal of a hand
so like, that's just too coincidental
that this mentions a hand
and there's part of a
hand on the other side.
Okay, so that's one and
the other is he capitalized
all of the word, wall.
No other word in this whole
thing is capitalized like that
so there's somethin' about
a wall and I don't know what that means.
It's time to get started on
crackin' this thing, I guess.
Tomorrow morning, when I wake
up, I'm posting this thing
to social media because
I'm desperate for help.
I actually get a lot of
help from people online
because I'm not really good
at puzzles, believe or not.
I need to get this out
on the internet asap
'cause I know someone's
gonna see this and be like,
I can help.
All right, I'm goin' to
bed, it's late, goodnight.
Cut all these camera, cut it.
(ominous music)
(typing)
When I was first introduced
to the Lightfoot case,
I was provided false
information that I thought
to be accurate which
resulted in the publishing
of a statistic that wasn't true.
In that mistake, I relayed
that of the 18 victims,
eight were recovered, when in actuality,
only the three were ever found.
But what is interesting
is how this happened.
On April 17th, 1973, John
Forrester began his new job
as a police officer in
Marion County, Florida.
He never imagined that on his first day,
he would be working on
a serial killer case.
His first task was to fill out this form.
The same form that I saw to conclude
that eight victims were found.
Its purpose, to be passed
along to the local newspaper,
informing them of any changes in the case
on a day to day basis.
Not knowing the importance of the form,
John filled it out
incorrectly and accidentally
put an eight instead of a three
next to the number of victims.
The following day, rumor had
spread that five new bodies
had just been recovered which
resulted in a bombardment
at the station by all
the victims' families.
In hopes that one of the five was theirs.
All because a rookie officer
wrote down one wrong number.
(dramatic music)
On the day of her daughter's funeral,
a mother asked, "What
happens after we die?"
The priest said, "We go to heaven."
The atheist said, "We do not."
Saddened by the argument, the mother
didn't know who to believe.
However, that night, as the
mother cried herself to sleep,
she noticed movement from
the corner of her eye.
Movement in the mirror over her vanity.
As she turned her head,
she caught a brief glimpse
of her daughter staring back at her.
When she told the others
what she had seen,
no one believed her but she didn't mind
because she knew that one day,
she would see her daughter again.
When I started making the
Blackwell Ghost documentaries,
I never thought I'd make it this far.
When it all started, I had one goal
and that was to prove
that ghosts are real.
Before I headed back to Florida,
leaving my wife and newborn,
my wife asked,
what else do I have to prove?
I said, "I'm not going
back to prove anything.
"I'm going back to help."
(dramatic music)
(ominous music)
All right, we're back.
I heard one a second ago.
(knocking)
Not even
one minute.
Maybe a minute in, I'm
already starting to hear it.
All right, usual game
here, I'm gonna set up
motion sensors in this room, that room
and maybe at the front hall.
Night vision cameras in all these rooms.
You know the gist, I'm just gonna--
(chuckling)
This is not a joke, this is
so much work, it's crazy.
I don't know why I do it.
(beeping)
(indistinct)
All right, I got everything
set, I got the letters set.
I got the letter machine here in case
they wanna speak to me somehow.
I mean all I hear in this house
are the noises from the back occasionally.
I really don't know what else
I'm gonna be able to get.
But I'm here, I've set up everything
and we'll just see what happens, I guess.
(groaning)
All right, so here's what I'm doin',
so I've gone around the entire house
and I've closed the curtains,
I've turned every light off
and I'm gonna be gone for about an hour,
trying to hunt down these other sites
and I've noticed that on
occasions when I leave
and come back, that's when they
like to tamper with things.
So I'm gonna be gone for about 60 minutes.
Maybe more.
So let's go.
As I began my journey into
the forest, following the map,
I didn't realize it would
take me approximately
half a mile away from the house.
As I arrived at each site,
seeing them for the first time
with my own eyes, I noticed
where the authorities
had excavated in hopes
of finding something.
All the while knowing in the end
nothing was found at these sites.
That's when it became abundantly clear
that something major was being overlooked.
You know, I'm out here, I've
come all the way out here
in the forest, followed the map,
found all these spots
and I can't help but notice
the only thing on this map
that we don't know is
what the North Star means
and it's obviously
important because why else
would he put it on the
map in the first place?
And if he actually thought
someone would find this map,
he knew someone would be
coming out here in the forest
and checking all these spots,
ultimately to find nothin'.
So he did this on purpose.
This is a misdirection and the
North Star means something.
What does it mean?
I have no idea.
(buzzing)
(beeping)
Something else I noticed is that site four
which is the little boat over water,
there ain't no water out
here, so it supports the fact
that we're looking in the wrong place.
But it's getting late and I'm
still about a half mile out
in the forest and if I wanna get home
before the sun goes down, I better hop to.
Might actually happen.
(chuckling)
I might actually get stuck out here.
Trying to follow my path I took.
I think I'm getting close, I've
seen some of my footprints.
I was getting kinda,
getting kinda lost
and as you can see, the sun's almost down.
But I think I'm on the right track.
(hooting)
It's time to hurry.
All right, I'm back.
(ominous music)
There is a light on in the house.
There's a light on in the house.
Oh my God.
Hello?
(chiming)
It doesn't look like
anything else changed.
The only thing that's different
is that that bathroom light is on.
And the reason that's weird is because
nothing has ever happened in here.
Clap slate.
(clapping)
I've got these cameras set
up 'cause I was just trying
to distract myself from what
just happened, I came home,
saw the light on in the bathroom,
I know you guys are like,
big whoop but man, when you're
out this far by yourself
and you come home to what
you know is a haunted house
and you see that light
on, it's pretty scary
and I know whatever's in
this house, I feel whatever's
in this house has no ill
intentions towards me
but it's still scary.
Somethin' I've noticed
and this can't be overlooked
and that's about light.
Ambient light versus directional light.
I have a strong belief that ambient light
reduces the possibility of
seeing a ghost as we know it.
If that makes sense because
the lights turned out
the last time I was here
because of the thunderstorm
and so it forced me to
use directional light
and it allowed the camera
to see it which I believe
is the key to seeing ghosts
but long story short, I was gonna attempt
to sit in the darkness tonight
and now for some reason,
I'm just eeried out.
It's eerie.
(chiming)
(chiming)
Man.
(knocking)
Might be a hotel night.
(chuckling)
I'm dead serious.
I need a moment, I need one
moment of quiet, please.
I don't what's worse, the
quiet or the fact that
when you ask for it, they give it to ya.
(ominous music)
I got a lamp on
and I got my lantern on
and I got the TV on, I think that's
still pretty scary.
(knocking)
(knocking)
(ominous music)
It's gettin' close.
It's almost time for the phone
call and I said (beeping) it.
And I turned off the TV and the light
so that's where we're at.
Any second now.
Any second.
(knocking)
(ringing)
(static crackling)
Hello?
(knocking)
(knocking)
(knocking)
(knocking)
(knocking)
- I remember one week when my father said
he was gonna take the whole
family to South Carolina.
In fact, at church, he told everyone.
We were going to leave Friday morning
for Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Well, the morning we were
supposed to leave was delayed
because the night before,
my father's brother got picked
up for drinking and driving.
It delayed our trip.
So the next morning we
were not on the road,
we were eating breakfast at home.
My father looked out
of the window and said, "That's strange.
"Mr. Lightfoot is walking in the woods."
Well the woods are behind
our house so I get up
and looked out and there was
Mr. Lightfoot pushing a cart.
It looked like he was pushing a cart
with a barrel on it or something.
My father didn't seem concerned
so I never thought
about it much until now.
- Well, we had another
interesting night last night.
As usual, after the phone call
came in, things went dormant,
however, when I woke up this morning,
I found something quite interesting.
This hallway closet door wide open again.
What the hell is it with this door?
But that's not all,
you might hear running,
I'm not sure if the
microphone can pick it up.
You might be able to hear
running water in the background.
So I'll show you what else I found.
You know, this one's actually
pretty cool to me 'cause,
well, I'll just show ya.
I woke up to that.
(running water)
Shower runnin' at full blast.
To activate this shower you
have to actually pull it out.
Not just turn it, so something actually
and that's actually really difficult.
That's hard to push that out,
that's an old shower, man.
But anyway,
long story short,
that was on when I woke up
and haven't seen that since the Blackwell
house which is pretty cool.
All right.
The only I can think of, you know,
I've been thinking about
this for a second because
there's a recurring thing
happening between this
closet and that bathroom
and the only thing
they have in common is
they share a common wall.
But other than that it
leads me to think that maybe
somethin' happened in
this closet or somethin'
happened in that bathroom.
How could anything happen
in this closet, it's tiny.
Although, Joe did say at
one point he found a body
wrapped in plastic in a closet.
There's only so many
closets in this house.
Can you imagine opening this door
and seeing a body wrapped in plastic?
I don't even wanna think about it.
Let's think about something else.
Well, is she okay?
- Yeah, she's fine--
- Check, check.
What'd she eat?
- [Terri] I think she ate
a little bit of dish soap
that was left over on one of the bottles.
- I don't need to come home, do I?
- No.
- Does that make me a bad dad?
- [Terri] She's fine, she
just has an upset stomach.
- Okay, I figured it wasn't that serious.
Could you send me a picture of
her, please, I miss you guys.
- [Terri] You get enough service
out there to get a picture?
- Oh, well, I'm goin' into
town, I'll have service there,
so you can just send it
and it'll come through
when I get there.
- [Terri] Okay, I'll be
sure to get a good one.
- All right, send that picture.
- [Terri] All right.
- All right, I love ya.
- We love you too.
- Bye.
- Bye.
(making farting sound)
- So a few days ago, I
called Joe Lightfoot.
If you don't remember
who Joe is, he's the son
of the serial killer.
And I said, "Hey, man, I'm
gonna be spending a few nights
"in your old house, is
there any place that maybe
"was special to you growing up nearby
"that I could go look at?"
And he goes,
"Well, you gotta go to the water tower."
And I was like, "What's that?"
And so, it's apparently a
place he used to go fishing
with his dad all the time
and I found it on the map.
Figured I'd shoot some 16 millimeter film,
I got the old, trusty
drone in the back there.
So I'm goin' to this old, random ass
water tower to get some beauty shots.
So that's the plan for today.
(light music)
What's the name of this poem?
- Destiny.
- [Turner] How's it go?
- Destiny, destiny.
It's a young man's thoughts.
A young man's dreams.
Do you ride on our shoulders,
destiny, destiny,
is it money that talks
while our lives as we walk
would you ever let me down?
Do you talk to my soul?
Do you plan my next step?
Are you riding my shoulders?
Or showing me the way?
Through life's twists and
turns, are you going my way?
Are you seeing me as a man
or as a topic for the day?
Destiny, destiny, do you ride my way?
(ominous music)
(water running)
(knocking)
So they're obviously
trying to tell me something
about this bathroom and or this closet.
I don't know if there's a
correlation between the two
but something' is goin' on.
I mean to take the energy,
I'm not sure if I showed this
on camera earlier, to take the energy
to pull that stuff out
and put it on the ground,
tells me.
(knocking)
Okay.
You know.
Wait.
(knocking)
That is creepy as hell.
That is just creepy as hell.
I had one camera on it and we'll check
the footage right now.
I need another camera in here somewhere.
I'm gonna put another
camera up real quick.
(knocking)
This house never ceases to
amaze me, I'll tell you that.
Well, so sorry if I'm a
little bit out of breath,
I'm about a nine on the tension scale
and I'm trying to bring
myself down, it's really hard.
I got all the lights on and
the TV on in the background
so that makes me feel more cozy, I guess
but as far as the plan for tonight,
I think I'm just gonna try
to do what I did last night
and sit in the darkness,
we'll see if that happens.
Except, I got some time to
kill and my heart is poundin'
and there's one cure for that
and it's whiskey.
Whoa, God.
Cheers.
(coughing)
(ominous music)
(exhaling)
This is the part of the night
I dread the most because
it's almost time for me to turn the TV off
and the lamp back there.
I think I'll go ahead and do it.
God, this is the dumbest
(beeping) thing I've ever done.
Dumbest (beeping) thing I've ever done.
All right, here we go.
It's time.
(knocking)
(ringing)
(static crackling)
(yelling)
(ominous music)
(water running)
(knocking)
(light music)
There's something,
I think I see something down there.
You know, it's been a really long morning.
I've been pacing up and
down that hallway over there
for, I can't tell how many
hours but I've been refraining
from just grabbin' a hammer
and just beatin' the (beeping)
out of that wall to get
whatever is behind it.
But the reason I'm not
doing that is 'cause
I'm not a kid anymore.
The kid in me would be
doing that right now.
I'd be tearing the
(beeping) out of that wall.
But I'm not a kid anymore.
I put away the childish
things and now I'm an adult
and I gotta do what's right.
So the way I see it is
I got three options.
Option one, I grab a hammer,
I go back there, tear open that wall
and grab what I know is behind it.
And I patch it back and pretend
that I never was back there.
But then the documentary
gets released and the owner
sees that I lied to him,
he'll never let me come back.
Option two, I call my friends
at the police department,
tell them what I found,
they come out here and open up the wall
but I risk them taking
it away like before,
before I get a chance to see it.
No (beeping) way I'm lettin' that happen.
Or there's option three.
I do nothing.
I go home
and I wait for the right opportunity
to let the owner know what I found.
Do it correctly, with
permission, come back
and I ensure that I'm the one
that gets to see it first.
Whatever it is.
That's the right thing to do.
That's the right thing to do.
(knocking)
But I'm tired of doing the right thing.
I'm tired.
(light music)
(knocking)
(ominous music)
(chiming)
So Andrew, we're just gonna,
I'm gonna go ahead and slate
this and then we're gonna
start the interview, okay?
- Mm hm.
Yeah, you can stop and
start at anytime there?
When we're doing this--
- Yeah, yes absolutely.
- Okay.
- [Turner] So why'd you reach out to me?
- As soon as I saw the map,
I realized I had to reach out to you
because I have some information about it.
There's a very small detail about it.
That probably only a
local would understand
but it's there.
- Really?
Well, do you mind
explaining to the cameras
what that detail is?
- No, I don't mind at all.
Back in the day when I was much younger,
they decided to build an
airport in our small town.
They decided to build the airport
right next to our property
and we found out
the project was being mismanaged
and they were way over budget.
So in an effort to save some money
in building a new beacon tower,
the manager noticed our water tower.
So the airport people
called the water people
and they decided to put the beacon light
on top of the water tower.
(chuckling)
They didn't realize that our water tower
is much taller than the
traditional beacon light tower.
So when they turned it on,
it lit up the whole town.
Lot of the town people got upset
and so after a few days, they took
the beacon light down but that light
was up there just long
enough for the water tower
to get its nickname, the North Star.

it's me, give me a call back
when you can, I hope you're
sittin' down when you
get this message, you're not
gonna believe what I found out.

I'm not one for poems.
But puzzles, I adore.
If you've made it this far,
you may wish for more.
More to the clue,
I will help you see,
read what I write and you have the key.
Roses are red,
violets are blue,
11 hundred heel toes due northwest of two.
I'm sure whoever found this
was a laborer but if not,
an officer or searcher
with clues that you sought.
Yet another clue that
I've decided to cast.
Good luck on your journey,
you'll need it to last.
(dramatic music)
(police radio chattering)
- [Officer] We have all units standing by.
Please stand by.
- [Man] You need to send everybody out
to the Andrew Burton Farm right now!
- [Officer] All units report
to the Andrew Burton Farm.
- [Man] Send them right now.
- [Reporter] So, we don't
know exactly what is going on
right now because the police
have shut down and closed
off this area of forest behind me.
We just overheard from
an officer not long ago
that this activity could be
due to the possible discovery
of human remains but we cannot
confirm that at this time.
We do expect that there will
be some type of informative
press conference today
given by the local police
but until then we can only
speculate as to what is going on.
- Okay, okay.
Just give me one second, I have
so much (beeping) in my head
right now, it's not even
funny, so if you won't let me
see it, if you won't
let me see it, can you
at least tell me what is
on the piece of paper?
- [Officer] No, we can't do that.
- That's why I'm (beeping) upset.
- [Officer] I know.
I know.
- Hey, man, can I at least
have a copy of this (beeping)
footage you've been shooting of me
this whole (beeping) time, please?
- One sec.
- For my next documentary.
It's the least you can
(beeping) do is give me
the footage of this thing,
I mean, Jesus Christ.
- [Terri] Okay, I'm
kinda worried right now.
Are you okay?
- I'm just really tired and
it's been a really long day.
I was too tired to find a
hotel room so I just came,
I'm at the house right now.
I'm just gonna stay tonight and then
I'm gonna head home in the morning.
- [Terri] I mean, you still
haven't told me what happened.
- You're not gonna believe it.
- [Terri] Did you find something?
- I found,
hey, I gotta go, there's
an officer here right now.
I'll call you back, all right?
- [Terri] Okay.
- All right, I love you.
- [Terri] I love you too.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- [Officer] When do you go home?
- I go home in the morning,
I'm only here for one night.
- [Officer] Okay.
- Question, what's with
the flagged off areas?
I see there's one back
there and you got one
right here, what is that all about?
Is it because of the bottle,
something in the bottle?
- [Officer] Uh, is that recording?
- Yeah.
- [Officer] Well, could
you turn that off, please?
- I'm waiting for the cops to leave.
They just came out here to
make sure I didn't tamper
with these flagged off
areas I'm about to show ya.
Here let's go outside,
a storm's about to come
so you might, it might
get a little windy here.
So they put these pink
flags just around the corner
of the house and they won't
tell me why they did it.
And there's another one
and I can see another one
back there in the corner, you
might not be able to see it.
There's another one.
So there's the house, I'm walkin' this way
and there's the flagged off area.
But, you know, right
after they found the body,
some cops came out here and
planted these flags right here
and the ones up by the corner of the house
and I have no idea because
they won't let me see
what's in the bottle,
I guarantee that this has
something to do with it.
And they came all the way
out here to make sure I
didn't tamper with this and
here I am, I'm outside of it.
And as a law abiding citizen,
I don't think I should tamper with it.
I don't wanna dig up this
area 'cause they'll know
that I was there so I'm just gonna,
I think that's about as much as I can do.
Shit.
(beeping)
All right, it didn't find anything there.
I'm not gonna go dig that up either
because they'll know I was there.
So here I am in the house.
It's gettin' late, there's
a huge storm comin' in
and as usual, I'm not prepared,
I don't have my little
block letters or the voice
machine, or the chimes,
I just have this camera and
two other little cheapos.
I really don't know
what to expect tonight,
don't have a plan, we'll
just see what happens.
It's been the longest
day of my life, I think.
I think I'm still a
little in shock, in fact
about today but I'm so tired.
I was gonna get in my car and
head all the way back home
but I'm just too tired.
So I'm here at the house
because the nearest hotel
is like 40 minutes away,
something like that and I'm just too tired
so I just stayed here.
I need a nap, I'm tired.
(knocking)
(ominous music)
(knocking)
(knocking)
(knocking)
I hope they know.
(knocking)
I hope they know what
happened to me because,
I'm thinking they know.
They must know, right?
(thundering)
Damn.
Damn.
(chuckling)
Shit.
(ringing)
- [Terri] Hi, this is
Terri, I'm not available
right now, so leave a message.
- So now that it is gettin' a little late,
I am gettin' a little scared
'cause I remember now,
the last time I was here,
I saw somethin' in that
reflection of that door over there
so I'm actually kind of afraid
to even look over there.
Yeah, I'm mainly scared of
the reflections and that.
(knocking)
Oh crap.
As I sit here, just waitin'
for the night to end.
(chuckling)
You know, my eyes just
keep going to all these
reflections out here in the glass, sorry.
And I keep wonderin'.
(thundering)
So it's 2:45 in the
mornin', I was just awake,
waitin' for the phone call to come in.
And there was a huge lightning
crash that just happened
outside the door here and I've
been scurrying around to try
to find some light, I found
a light for the camera here.
Nothin' works in here, no lamps.
I have a lantern light
here, luckily, because I'm,
otherwise just in the dark and
I have a light on the camera
here but other than that
I'm just in the dark.
That's a night vision light
but doesn't help me 'cause I can't see it.
(knocking)
(knocking)
(ominous music)
That's new.
That's new.
I've never seen that
door open, period, ever.
My God.
(telephone ringing)
(static crackling)
Hello?
Hello?
(static crackling)
(beeping)
All right, Andrew, I got
your mic hooked up now.
Could you just give me
a quick sound check?
Say anything.
- Can you hear me now?
- Perfect, got it.
- Great.
- [Turner] Interview with
Andrew Burton, marker.
- My name is Andrew Burton and I own
60 acres of property in central Florida.
I grew up on a piece of
that property and I think
it's safe to say that I know
every square inch of it.
My father was church
friends with Mr. Lightfoot
and I remember Mr.
Lightfoot used to come over
and fish on our property.
Part of our property butts
up against some water
and I remember he and my
Dad casting off the bank
just about every Sunday for a few summers.
I always thought
there was something odd
about Mr. Lightfoot.
I mean he showed up
with his bait and tackle
but I didn't think he really
wanted to do any fishing.
Like he wasn't even there to fish at all.
It was kinda like he was casing
the property or something.
I never really thought
much of it 'til now.
(ominous music)
(phone chiming)
(phone ringing)
- [Officer Ramey] This is Ramey.
- Hey, it's me, I got your message.
What's it a map of, exactly?
- [Officer Ramey] Well, that's
the problem, we can't tell
because we think it
might be another puzzle.
- All right, well, just send it over
and I'll take a look at it.
- [Officer Ramey] Well, it's
not that easy this time.
We sent you the last puzzle
because it was over 45 years old
and we didn't think
you'd actually solve it.
Internal actually got pretty
upset with us about that.
- Well, I'm confused, I
thought your message said you
wanted my help, so how can I
help if I can't see the map?
- [Officer Ramey] Well,
that's why I'm callin'.
We've started to feel our
pressures on the family
to figure things out and we
know that you're obviously
the best chance, not to
mention that they all like you.
- Right.
- And so we got to thinking
and we came up with an idea that might
get you access to everything.
- All right, how's that gonna work?
- [Officer Ramey] Now don't laugh too hard
but we can actually deputize you.
- What?
- [Officer Ramey] If we
can make you a deputy,
you can access all the
evidence without our permission
and it'd be legal.
(chuckling)
- Okay, I didn't see
that comin', do I get,
do I get a badge or a uniform or anything?
- [Officer Ramey] It's not a joke.
- Do I get a gun?
- [Officer Ramey] Do you
wanna do this or not?
Robert needs to know by the
end of the day if you're in.
- Joking aside, yes, tell
him, absolutely and thank you.
I owe him a cupcake.
- [Officer Ramey] Good,
I'll handle these forms
and get you an ID card and--
- I get an ID card?
- [Officer Ramey] Do you look
like it's lying on the phone?
- No.
- Good.
- Wait, yes, I do.
- [Officer Ramey] What?
- Can I bring my own gun?
Ramey?
He hung up.
(chuckling)
(clapping)
Wow.
And that's how it happened.
I filled out some forms and
before I knew it, I was a deputy
complete with ID badge that
gave me access to names,
addresses and all existing evidence.
My new coworkers were even kind
enough to throw me a party.
But most important to me, I
was finally going to get to see
what was in that bottle.
(dramatic music)
All right, so I got it.
Here is the, what I've been waiting on
for a really long time.
This is the contents from the bottle.
I didn't really know what that
dark spot was in the middle
right here but I found out it
just kinda resembles a palm.
It's missing the fingers of course.
I feel like there's gonna
be some significance to that
because I'm starting to
figure out how that guy
kinda thought in his puzzle
making so all we have is a palm
but let's look at what we do
know so let's start at the top
and we go to the top and we see the house.
How do I know this, because it says house
and on the corner it says the North Star,
don't know what that
means and there's a star.
But what I do know is
the last time I was there
at the house, this star
is where, this is where
the police didn't want me
digging and they flagged off
the corner of that house,
that's what this is and this
is why they flagged that area off, now
how do you get to these spots?
Well, you can go up here to the corner
and he was kind enough to
leave us this little key
and it says compass
direction over heel toes
and he's got a compass, you
know, representing north,
south, east, and west so the
compass direction over heel
toes is this little code that
he puts next to all these
dashed lines, 212 is the compass direction
and 400 is the heel toes.
Pretty self explanatory
and so when you go from
the corner here down to number one,
that is 400 heel toes is right where they,
the police flagged off
that second area I went to.
So moving on, you can do the same for each
to get to number two, so
there's the second site
and then on to three and
then finally on number four,
what I did notice was that number four
has a little sailboat over some water
and I really don't know
what that means other than
it's probably, this spot might be in water
or it's in kind of like a swamp area,
that's the only thing I can think of.
Because I know that area pretty good
and I don't remember there
being any water there.
Oh, wanted to show you something else.
I didn't really see this at first
or I did but I didn't pay
attention to it much until now
and on the back there is this little verse
or whatever you wanna call it.
Suddenly the fingers
of a man's hand emerged
and began writing on
the plaster of the wall.
The king saw the hand
that did the writing.
Daniel 5:5.
What the hell is that
supposed to mean, no idea.
Although, I do know the little
tricks of this guy's clues.
There's obviously some significance
to fingers of the man's hand
because there's a palm on the other side,
what appears to be the pal of a hand
so like, that's just too coincidental
that this mentions a hand
and there's part of a
hand on the other side.
Okay, so that's one and
the other is he capitalized
all of the word, wall.
No other word in this whole
thing is capitalized like that
so there's somethin' about
a wall and I don't know what that means.
It's time to get started on
crackin' this thing, I guess.
Tomorrow morning, when I wake
up, I'm posting this thing
to social media because
I'm desperate for help.
I actually get a lot of
help from people online
because I'm not really good
at puzzles, believe or not.
I need to get this out
on the internet asap
'cause I know someone's
gonna see this and be like,
I can help.
All right, I'm goin' to
bed, it's late, goodnight.
Cut all these camera, cut it.
(ominous music)
(typing)
When I was first introduced
to the Lightfoot case,
I was provided false
information that I thought
to be accurate which
resulted in the publishing
of a statistic that wasn't true.
In that mistake, I relayed
that of the 18 victims,
eight were recovered, when in actuality,
only the three were ever found.
But what is interesting
is how this happened.
On April 17th, 1973, John
Forrester began his new job
as a police officer in
Marion County, Florida.
He never imagined that on his first day,
he would be working on
a serial killer case.
His first task was to fill out this form.
The same form that I saw to conclude
that eight victims were found.
Its purpose, to be passed
along to the local newspaper,
informing them of any changes in the case
on a day to day basis.
Not knowing the importance of the form,
John filled it out
incorrectly and accidentally
put an eight instead of a three
next to the number of victims.
The following day, rumor had
spread that five new bodies
had just been recovered which
resulted in a bombardment
at the station by all
the victims' families.
In hopes that one of the five was theirs.
All because a rookie officer
wrote down one wrong number.
(dramatic music)
On the day of her daughter's funeral,
a mother asked, "What
happens after we die?"
The priest said, "We go to heaven."
The atheist said, "We do not."
Saddened by the argument, the mother
didn't know who to believe.
However, that night, as the
mother cried herself to sleep,
she noticed movement from
the corner of her eye.
Movement in the mirror over her vanity.
As she turned her head,
she caught a brief glimpse
of her daughter staring back at her.
When she told the others
what she had seen,
no one believed her but she didn't mind
because she knew that one day,
she would see her daughter again.
When I started making the
Blackwell Ghost documentaries,
I never thought I'd make it this far.
When it all started, I had one goal
and that was to prove
that ghosts are real.
Before I headed back to Florida,
leaving my wife and newborn,
my wife asked,
what else do I have to prove?
I said, "I'm not going
back to prove anything.
"I'm going back to help."
(dramatic music)
(ominous music)
All right, we're back.
I heard one a second ago.
(knocking)
Not even
one minute.
Maybe a minute in, I'm
already starting to hear it.
All right, usual game
here, I'm gonna set up
motion sensors in this room, that room
and maybe at the front hall.
Night vision cameras in all these rooms.
You know the gist, I'm just gonna--
(chuckling)
This is not a joke, this is
so much work, it's crazy.
I don't know why I do it.
(beeping)
(indistinct)
All right, I got everything
set, I got the letters set.
I got the letter machine here in case
they wanna speak to me somehow.
I mean all I hear in this house
are the noises from the back occasionally.
I really don't know what else
I'm gonna be able to get.
But I'm here, I've set up everything
and we'll just see what happens, I guess.
(groaning)
All right, so here's what I'm doin',
so I've gone around the entire house
and I've closed the curtains,
I've turned every light off
and I'm gonna be gone for about an hour,
trying to hunt down these other sites
and I've noticed that on
occasions when I leave
and come back, that's when they
like to tamper with things.
So I'm gonna be gone for about 60 minutes.
Maybe more.
So let's go.
As I began my journey into
the forest, following the map,
I didn't realize it would
take me approximately
half a mile away from the house.
As I arrived at each site,
seeing them for the first time
with my own eyes, I noticed
where the authorities
had excavated in hopes
of finding something.
All the while knowing in the end
nothing was found at these sites.
That's when it became abundantly clear
that something major was being overlooked.
You know, I'm out here, I've
come all the way out here
in the forest, followed the map,
found all these spots
and I can't help but notice
the only thing on this map
that we don't know is
what the North Star means
and it's obviously
important because why else
would he put it on the
map in the first place?
And if he actually thought
someone would find this map,
he knew someone would be
coming out here in the forest
and checking all these spots,
ultimately to find nothin'.
So he did this on purpose.
This is a misdirection and the
North Star means something.
What does it mean?
I have no idea.
(buzzing)
(beeping)
Something else I noticed is that site four
which is the little boat over water,
there ain't no water out
here, so it supports the fact
that we're looking in the wrong place.
But it's getting late and I'm
still about a half mile out
in the forest and if I wanna get home
before the sun goes down, I better hop to.
Might actually happen.
(chuckling)
I might actually get stuck out here.
Trying to follow my path I took.
I think I'm getting close, I've
seen some of my footprints.
I was getting kinda,
getting kinda lost
and as you can see, the sun's almost down.
But I think I'm on the right track.
(hooting)
It's time to hurry.
All right, I'm back.
(ominous music)
There is a light on in the house.
There's a light on in the house.
Oh my God.
Hello?
(chiming)
It doesn't look like
anything else changed.
The only thing that's different
is that that bathroom light is on.
And the reason that's weird is because
nothing has ever happened in here.
Clap slate.
(clapping)
I've got these cameras set
up 'cause I was just trying
to distract myself from what
just happened, I came home,
saw the light on in the bathroom,
I know you guys are like,
big whoop but man, when you're
out this far by yourself
and you come home to what
you know is a haunted house
and you see that light
on, it's pretty scary
and I know whatever's in
this house, I feel whatever's
in this house has no ill
intentions towards me
but it's still scary.
Somethin' I've noticed
and this can't be overlooked
and that's about light.
Ambient light versus directional light.
I have a strong belief that ambient light
reduces the possibility of
seeing a ghost as we know it.
If that makes sense because
the lights turned out
the last time I was here
because of the thunderstorm
and so it forced me to
use directional light
and it allowed the camera
to see it which I believe
is the key to seeing ghosts
but long story short, I was gonna attempt
to sit in the darkness tonight
and now for some reason,
I'm just eeried out.
It's eerie.
(chiming)
(chiming)
Man.
(knocking)
Might be a hotel night.
(chuckling)
I'm dead serious.
I need a moment, I need one
moment of quiet, please.
I don't what's worse, the
quiet or the fact that
when you ask for it, they give it to ya.
(ominous music)
I got a lamp on
and I got my lantern on
and I got the TV on, I think that's
still pretty scary.
(knocking)
(knocking)
(ominous music)
It's gettin' close.
It's almost time for the phone
call and I said (beeping) it.
And I turned off the TV and the light
so that's where we're at.
Any second now.
Any second.
(knocking)
(ringing)
(static crackling)
Hello?

- I remember one week when my father said
he was gonna take the whole
family to South Carolina.
In fact, at church, he told everyone.
We were going to leave Friday morning
for Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Well, the morning we were
supposed to leave was delayed
because the night before,
my father's brother got picked
up for drinking and driving.
It delayed our trip.
So the next morning we
were not on the road,
we were eating breakfast at home.
My father looked out
of the window and said, "That's strange.
"Mr. Lightfoot is walking in the woods."
Well the woods are behind
our house so I get up
and looked out and there was
Mr. Lightfoot pushing a cart.
It looked like he was pushing a cart
with a barrel on it or something.
My father didn't seem concerned
so I never thought
about it much until now.
- Well, we had another
interesting night last night.
As usual, after the phone call
came in, things went dormant,
however, when I woke up this morning,
I found something quite interesting.
This hallway closet door wide open again.
What the hell is it with this door?
But that's not all,
you might hear running,
I'm not sure if the
microphone can pick it up.
You might be able to hear
running water in the background.
So I'll show you what else I found.
You know, this one's actually
pretty cool to me 'cause,
well, I'll just show ya.
I woke up to that.
(running water)
Shower runnin' at full blast.
To activate this shower you
have to actually pull it out.
Not just turn it, so something actually
and that's actually really difficult.
That's hard to push that out,
that's an old shower, man.
But anyway,
long story short,
that was on when I woke up
and haven't seen that since the Blackwell
house which is pretty cool.
All right.
The only I can think of, you know,
I've been thinking about
this for a second because
there's a recurring thing
happening between this
closet and that bathroom
and the only thing
they have in common is
they share a common wall.
But other than that it
leads me to think that maybe
somethin' happened in
this closet or somethin'
happened in that bathroom.
How could anything happen
in this closet, it's tiny.
Although, Joe did say at
one point he found a body
wrapped in plastic in a closet.
There's only so many
closets in this house.
Can you imagine opening this door
and seeing a body wrapped in plastic?
I don't even wanna think about it.
Let's think about something else.
Well, is she okay?
- Yeah, she's fine--
- Check, check.
What'd she eat?
- [Terri] I think she ate
a little bit of dish soap
that was left over on one of the bottles.
- I don't need to come home, do I?
- No.
- Does that make me a bad dad?
- [Terri] She's fine, she
just has an upset stomach.
- Okay, I figured it wasn't that serious.
Could you send me a picture of
her, please, I miss you guys.
- [Terri] You get enough service
out there to get a picture?
- Oh, well, I'm goin' into
town, I'll have service there,
so you can just send it
and it'll come through
when I get there.
- [Terri] Okay, I'll be
sure to get a good one.
- All right, send that picture.
- [Terri] All right.
- All right, I love ya.
- We love you too.
- Bye.
- Bye.
(making farting sound)
- So a few days ago, I
called Joe Lightfoot.
If you don't remember
who Joe is, he's the son
of the serial killer.
And I said, "Hey, man, I'm
gonna be spending a few nights
"in your old house, is
there any place that maybe
"was special to you growing up nearby
"that I could go look at?"
And he goes,
"Well, you gotta go to the water tower."
And I was like, "What's that?"
And so, it's apparently a
place he used to go fishing
with his dad all the time
and I found it on the map.
Figured I'd shoot some 16 millimeter film,
I got the old, trusty
drone in the back there.
So I'm goin' to this old, random ass
water tower to get some beauty shots.
So that's the plan for today.
(light music)
What's the name of this poem?
- Destiny.
- [Turner] How's it go?
- Destiny, destiny.
It's a young man's thoughts.
A young man's dreams.
Do you ride on our shoulders,
destiny, destiny,
is it money that talks
while our lives as we walk
would you ever let me down?
Do you talk to my soul?
Do you plan my next step?
Are you riding my shoulders?
Or showing me the way?
Through life's twists and
turns, are you going my way?
Are you seeing me as a man
or as a topic for the day?
Destiny, destiny, do you ride my way?
(ominous music)
(water running)
(knocking)
So they're obviously
trying to tell me something
about this bathroom and or this closet.
I don't know if there's a
correlation between the two
but something' is goin' on.
I mean to take the energy,
I'm not sure if I showed this
on camera earlier, to take the energy
to pull that stuff out
and put it on the ground,
tells me.
(knocking)
Okay.
You know.
Wait.
(knocking)
That is creepy as hell.
That is just creepy as hell.
I had one camera on it and we'll check
the footage right now.
I need another camera in here somewhere.
I'm gonna put another
camera up real quick.
(knocking)
This house never ceases to
amaze me, I'll tell you that.
Well, so sorry if I'm a
little bit out of breath,
I'm about a nine on the tension scale
and I'm trying to bring
myself down, it's really hard.
I got all the lights on and
the TV on in the background
so that makes me feel more cozy, I guess
but as far as the plan for tonight,
I think I'm just gonna try
to do what I did last night
and sit in the darkness,
we'll see if that happens.
Except, I got some time to
kill and my heart is poundin'
and there's one cure for that
and it's whiskey.
Whoa, God.
Cheers.
(coughing)
(ominous music)
(exhaling)
This is the part of the night
I dread the most because
it's almost time for me to turn the TV off
and the lamp back there.
I think I'll go ahead and do it.
God, this is the dumbest
(beeping) thing I've ever done.
Dumbest (beeping) thing I've ever done.
All right, here we go.
It's time.
(knocking)
(ringing)
(static crackling)
(yelling)
(ominous music)
(water running)
(knocking)
(light music)
There's something,
I think I see something down there.
You know, it's been a really long morning.
I've been pacing up and
down that hallway over there
for, I can't tell how many
hours but I've been refraining
from just grabbin' a hammer
and just beatin' the (beeping)
out of that wall to get
whatever is behind it.
But the reason I'm not
doing that is 'cause
I'm not a kid anymore.
The kid in me would be
doing that right now.
I'd be tearing the
(beeping) out of that wall.
But I'm not a kid anymore.
I put away the childish
things and now I'm an adult
and I gotta do what's right.
So the way I see it is
I got three options.
Option one, I grab a hammer,
I go back there, tear open that wall
and grab what I know is behind it.
And I patch it back and pretend
that I never was back there.
But then the documentary
gets released and the owner
sees that I lied to him,
he'll never let me come back.
Option two, I call my friends
at the police department,
tell them what I found,
they come out here and open up the wall
but I risk them taking
it away like before,
before I get a chance to see it.
No (beeping) way I'm lettin' that happen.
Or there's option three.
I do nothing.
I go home
and I wait for the right opportunity
to let the owner know what I found.
Do it correctly, with
permission, come back
and I ensure that I'm the one
that gets to see it first.
Whatever it is.
That's the right thing to do.
That's the right thing to do.
(knocking)
But I'm tired of doing the right thing.
I'm tired.
(light music)
(knocking)
(ominous music)
(chiming)
So Andrew, we're just gonna,
I'm gonna go ahead and slate
this and then we're gonna
start the interview, okay?
- Mm hm.
Yeah, you can stop and
start at anytime there?
When we're doing this--
- Yeah, yes absolutely.
- Okay.
- [Turner] So why'd you reach out to me?
- As soon as I saw the map,
I realized I had to reach out to you
because I have some information about it.
There's a very small detail about it.
That probably only a
local would understand
but it's there.
- Really?
Well, do you mind
explaining to the cameras
what that detail is?
- No, I don't mind at all.
Back in the day when I was much younger,
they decided to build an
airport in our small town.
They decided to build the airport
right next to our property
and we found out
the project was being mismanaged
and they were way over budget.
So in an effort to save some money
in building a new beacon tower,
the manager noticed our water tower.
So the airport people
called the water people
and they decided to put the beacon light
on top of the water tower.
(chuckling)
They didn't realize that our water tower
is much taller than the
traditional beacon light tower.
So when they turned it on,
it lit up the whole town.
Lot of the town people got upset
and so after a few days, they took
the beacon light down but that light
was up there just long
enough for the water tower
to get its nickname, the North Star.

I'm not one for poems.
But puzzles, I adore.
If you've made it this far,
you may wish for more.
More to the clue,
I will help you see,
read what I write and you have the key.
Roses are red,
violets are blue,
11 hundred heel toes due northwest of two.
I'm sure whoever found this
was a laborer but if not,
an officer or searcher
with clues that you sought.
Yet another clue that
I've decided to cast.
Good luck on your journey,
you'll need it to last.
