00:00Phantom Lake County is well known for its share of odd and disturbingly unique occurrences.
00:12However, all of them pale in comparison to the time a piece of chewing gum became sentient,
00:16grew as big as a barn, maybe two, and threatened to eat everyone.
00:21So many people lost their lives.
00:23I still struggle believing it happened, but it did, and it was so horrible.
00:30Can you tell us about your encounter with the WAD?
00:32You mean that big angry ball and chickle that tried to swallow me up all those years ago?
00:37Yeah.
00:38We have several clips which include you.
00:40I still think it's a hoax.
00:42It's just a lie that the government wants you to believe, and people like me, who don't,
00:49are targeting.
00:50Whether or not this thing actually exists, look outside.
00:53The weather today is beautiful.
00:54The lake, the parks, the drive-in, the annual hot dog festival is going on right now as
00:59we speak.
01:00Phantom Lake County is open, and people should feel free to come on down and have a wonderful
01:04time.
01:07Do you have any idea how it happened?
01:09How it happened?
01:11You mean how it went from a harmless piece of candy to a soulless, nearly unstoppable
01:15killing machine?
01:16It was only a matter of time before it would start moving into more populated areas, and
01:21you'd need to feast on something larger than your average farm animal.
01:25You mean it would need to start eating people?
01:27Yes.
01:28At that point, it seemed to me the only choice we had left was to just drop a nuke on the
01:33place and be done with it.
01:35Collateral damage be damned.
01:37If we were to detonate one of those suckers here, it would level half the buildings in
01:41the area.
01:43Which half?
01:44What does that matter?
01:46Tonight, I will be your guide as you learn about The WAD, the true story behind the Phantom
01:51Lake County chewing gum disaster.
