Found this today while researching urban legends about phone numbers. This is delightfully creepy and I'll be very disappointed if none of my writer friends ever sneak some of these into a horror novel or something..

(tl;dr: it's a carefully formulated series of phonetically balanced phrases for use in testing phones; out of context, most of them are rather creepy in a way that I find... pretty awesome, honestly, this is my kind of horror)

"This is the water and this is the well. Drink full and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within."

@Phorm @zebratron2084

that is one scary horse.

The scene that series of phrases originates from is one of the most genuinely disturbing things I've ever seen on television.

@Phorm @001zlnv Found one of the clips! I really need to break down and watch the rest of S3, don't I...

@Phorm @001zlnv Also, huh, I guess now I know what voice mail I'm leaving all the GOP senators on Monday. =^________^=

Yes - You absolutely should watch The Return if you have the stomach for it. It's very slow, it's not at all what people expected, and Lynch takes it in a weird direction that I'm not sure I fully liked. But I appreciated it, and it's very well done.

Also, ABSOLUTELY yes to the voice mail idea. Heck that's good.

@Phorm @001zlnv I mean, I enjoyed What Did Jack Do? ffs, so I will probably be able to deal with The Return!

Also now I wonder if the White Horse knows the Red Rabbit...
