Good, very, nothing. The I'm not going to be. I'm going to be. I'm going to

I'm going to Good evening and welcome to monsters among us.

I am your guide, Derek Hayes.

Thank you for tuning in despite my long hiatus.

I also want to thank everyone for reaching out

with kind words, thoughts, and prayers over the past two weeks. For those that don't know,

I lost my little brother recently, words I never thought I would utter. It's been a very tough time

for not only me, but my entire family, so I

truly appreciate all the support you guys have given me and for the patience that you've shown

over the past few weeks. My brother, Cohen, was a big fan of the paranormal. He was a huge part

of my interest in this field growing up.

He often accompanied me on many outings in my hometown visiting potentially haunted locations

and searching the darkest parts of our farm in search of the infamous black cat we saw many

years ago.

So tonight, I dedicate this show in his memory.

I don't think he ever listened to the show, but wherever he is tonight, I hope he's tuning in.

The last thing I will say before we get this episode rolling is this.

If you or someone you know is struggling with depression or entertaining suicidal thoughts,

please call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1,800-273-8255. You never know when one call will change

everything.

And now, on to a less somber topic.

Our first call of the evening is one that touches on an earlier story told by Katie back on episode two of season four.
