Interviews

I will be transcribing all the interviews I had made this morning. I used my EVP recorder so I did catch some things I didn't hear before.

*****

INTERVIEW #1:
Name: Margaret Price
Age: Early-to-mid 20's
Sex: Female
Height: Taller Than Me
Extra Information: She is most likely a caterer of some kind. Perhaps fast food- I could tell by the attire she was taking off. She doesn't seem
Travis (Me): Hello, ma'am. Would you mind if I asked you some questions?

Margaret: No, I don't mind.

Travis: Would I be bold to first ask your name?

Margaret: It's Margaret. Margaret Price.

Travis: Margaret, have you heard of the Jersey Devil?

Margaret: (to herself) Oh god, one of these guys again. (to me) Yes, of course I have! What do you want to know?

Travis: Well... is there any local place where I can learn more about the Jersey Devil?

Margaret: Yes. It's called the internet.

Travis: ...of course, ma'am. Have any paranormal researchers been here?

Margaret (to herself) Ha ha, that's a laugh.

Travis: What, ma'am?

Margaret: I said yes, quite a few.

Travis: Oh. Okay. Have you personally ever experienced an encounter with the Jersey Devil?

Margaret: No.

Travis: Okay, that will be all.

*****
The results of that interview were inconclusive, and upon further examination I noticed her spite. I am severely offended.

INTERVIEW #2:
Name: Jason ???
Age: Early 20's
Sex: Male
Height: My Height
Extra Information: Seems to appreciate music- had an iPod in hand and was focused on his music. He wore a black hooded coat with sleek red markings. Loitering near a park fountain.

Travis: Hello, sir.

Jason: Hey.

Travis: What's your name?

Jason: Jason.

Travis: Mind if I ask some questions, Jason?

Jason: Yes.

Travis: ...may I ask some questions?

Jason: No.

Travis: ...okay.

At least he wasn't as sarcastic or bitter as the previous person interviewed.

INTERVIEW #3:
Name: Elijah Stevens
Age: Mid 70's
Sex: Male
Height: Definately tall, but he is hunched over due to arthritis.
Other Information: He is the interview I had completely and totally planned. He is akin to a legend in the area. He fought in the Vietnam War, and had some scars. But his the thing he is primarily known for is a supposed attack on him by the Jersey Devil. He works in a farmland close to the Pine Barrens.

Travis: Hello. Am I adressing Mr. Stevens?

Elijah: Yes, you are. May I ask why you're here?

Travis: Yes. I'm here on account of a paranormal investigation...

Elijah: ...and you wish to know any information I have...

Travis: Precisely!

Elijah: Well, I haven't seen that creature since I was twelve. I was wandering through the forest, and suddenly I heard a roar from behind and a claw rake open my back.

Travis: ...oh my God...

Elijah: I still have the scar to prove it. *Takes off shirt* I don't know, though. My folks told me that it was probably a bear or something, but I saw some hoof prints. They say it was probably a deer.

Travis: Ouch!

Elijah: Yep. I've been staying away from that place for weeks. Anyways, I have people coming over, and I suggest you go now.

Travis: Yes sir, Mr. Stevens.

*****
That one yielded the most fruitful results, but I decided to conduct one last random interview. I saw a man walking towards the back alley between a bar and a hospital.

INTERVIEW #4:
Name: ?
Age: ?
Sex: Male
Height: Somewhat taller than me
Other Information: I... I can't really say. I knew he was taller than me and I knew he was male. I don't distinctly remember the clothes he wore, or the voice he had. His age was indiscernible. I didn't remember if he was of any specific ethnicity. I never even saw emotion. The one other thing I remembered was that he showed absolutely no emotion during our conversation.

Travis:  Excuse me, sir?

?: Huh?

Travis: Would you mind asking questions?

?: *sighs* Make it quick, kid. I'm in a hurry.

Travis: Thank you. Do you know anything about The Jersey Devil?

?: The Jersey Devil? *snickers* Kid, why would go try looking for a foolish thing like that?

Travis: What?

?: Kid, don't go chasing around for things you don't understand, or you'll end up like me.

Travis: What do you mean?

?: Kid, just trust me. Don't poke your nose into things that they shouldn't.

Travis: Why-

?: Just... don't. I have to go now.

*****
At that point, I saw that at the end of the alley was a door with a garishly pink neon sign above it flickering "FREE CLINIC". I decided to have a bite across the road at a Panera Bread for some time. I'm still at the restaurant now. It has been two hours and I have, momentarily, looked out the window and into the alley. I never saw the man come back out. It may be possible that he left while I wasn't looking, but... I don't know. It's just an aching feeling in the back of my mind. I may try to look for the man tomorrow.
