1
The world is full of creepy things.
2
But nothing is more creepy than a creepy, creepy story.
3
They can scare kids at summer camp.
4
Horrify misbehaving boys and girls.
5
Since you won't quiet down,
6
I have no choice but to tell you the tale of the kids who refuse to listen to the underpaid babysitter.
7
And explain the unexplainable.
8
I know what I saw!
9
He was there, right where you're standing!
10
This house has been empty for years!
11
It must have been a ghost!
12
But you have to be careful with a creepy, creepy story.
13
Because sometimes, sometimes they can change you you,
14
make you monstrous and unrecognizable.
15
I should know, it happened to me.
16
I used to be a normal kid,
17
but I listened to too many creepy stories.
18
And now, I'm a creep.
19
I used to be a girl who spent all her time at the library reading up on werewolf history,
20
Insect scientists and interdimensional transport. And then...
21
Something monstrous happened. And now...
22
I'm a creep.
23
I'm not as creepy as these other guys, to be totally honest.
24
Toro, come on!
25
We coached you on this!
26
Ugh, here we go again.
27
Okay, Axe, okay, okay, uh...
28
Ooh...
29
I'm a creep.
30
I'm also a creep.
31
We used to be normal kids.
32
We'd hang out in Weta's basement late at night.
33
And share stories about all of the creepiest,
34
darkest things we could imagine.
35
We'd still gather in the basement for one hour once a week.
36
But it's different now.
37
Because we're different.
38
It happened to us, and it can happen to you.
39
So here's your warning.
40
Turn this off.
41
and stay your normal self.
42
Or keep listening and become something different.
43
Something grotesque and awful and wonderfully creepy.
44
Still there?
45
Okay then.
46
Strap in your ribs, crumple your ears,
47
and suck on something sour.
48
Because we're the creeps, and this is The Creeping Hour.
49
I didn't know it was pig slime.
50
I was so thirsty.
51
My, what strange feet you have.
52
This story is about two boys,
53
a dog, and an old man with a horrible secret.
54
The dog is named Lucky,
55
but in some ways, he's the exact opposite of that.
56
But the story doesn't start with Lucky.
57
It starts with the strange old man.
58
The kids called him Mr. Dirt Spy,
59
because those were the only two words he seemed to know.
60
Dirt Spy!
61
Dirt Spy!
62
Dirt Spy!
63
Hi!
64
Every day, Kevin and Derek passed his rundown,
65
cobwebbed covered house when they took Lucky on his afternoon walk.
66
Why do we always go this way, Kevin?
67
We're literally walking past the creepiest house on the planet.
68
Look, if it was up to me,
69
I'd go on a different block.
70
But Lucky calls the shots here,
71
and he loves the street.
72
That dog owns you, man.
73
I can't believe you don't even keep him on a leash.
74
I don't need to.
75
He's the perfect dog.
76
Aren't you Lucky?
77
Come here, baby.
78
Who's a good boy?
79
Oh.
80
Can you please stop that?
81
I'm gonna barf.
82
You're just jealous because your dog would be number one in the world's ugliest muck competition.
83
I wish your mom would let me submit him.
84
A. Detective Barnacles is beautiful, just in a different way than Lucky.
85
It's more inner beauty. And B.
86
He's not even my dog.
87
He's my mom's.
88
That makes him yours!
89
No, it doesn't.
90
What is it, boy?
91
It's Mr. Thirstby.
92
Look, he's on his porch.
93
Thirstby!
94
Thirstby!
95
Thirstby!
96
Don't get close to him.
97
He'll break your neck.
98
It happened to Anna's brother.
99
No one has seen him in months.
100
That's not even close to what happened.
101
Anna's brother moved to California.
102
She posted a photo of him at the Hollywood sign last week.
103
Hey, where's Mr. Durspy going?
104
He's leaving his porch?
105
Durspy!
106
Durspy!
107
Look, he left his front door open.
108
Now's your chance to go inside the creepiest house on the planet.
109
After you, Kev.
110
I wouldn't go in there if you gave me $200 billion.
111
If I had $200 billion, I'd quit school and buy my own island.
112
Then I'd give Detective Barnford...
113
Lucky!
114
Get back here!
115
Where are you going?
116
Don't run there, Lucky.
117
Get away from the house!
118
No!
119
He's going right for the door!
120
Lucky, are you crazy?
121
Bucky!
122
I told you to keep him on a leash.
123
What are we gonna do now?
124
I know what I would have done.
125
I'd have given up on the dog
126
and slithered down the street to the nearest dumpster where I'd eat a late lunch of dead cockroaches,
127
rat droppings, and garbage juice.
128
But Kevin and Derek weren't interested in fine cuisine.
129
They stood there on the sidewalk in front of the rundown house covered in so much dust,
130
it looked like it had never been cleaned.
131
And they knew what they had to do.
132
We obviously got to go in there and save my dog.
133
Right, obviously.
134
Speaking of obvious, I think you should go in by yourself since Lucky is technically your dog,
135
and technically you're the one who decided not to put him on a leash.
136
Technically you're coming with me or I'm telling everyone in school how technically you're the biggest wimp-noid ever.
137
Who are you calling a wimp-noid?
138
Who's acting like a wimp-noid.
139
Okay, okay.
140
Best friends go down together, I guess.
141
We just have to do it really fast before Mr. Dirt Spy gets back.
142
I do not want to be in that house when he returns.
143
Okay, let's go.
144
Are we sure about this?
145
It's Lucky.
146
Lucky.
147
Remember when he chased that skunk away from you?
148
And got himself sprayed?
149
Lucky is the worst name for him, but fine.
150
After you.
151
Who leaves their front door open?
152
I guess someone who's not that worried about people breaking in.
153
Why is it so dark in here? Are there any lights? Do you smell that?
154
It's like rotten eggs or something.
155
Ew!
156
It's so strong!
157
Waki?
158
Waki?
159
Where are you, boy?
160
Here, just let me turn on my flashlight.
161
Oh man, this place is a mess.
162
Look at this dust, it's everywhere. Did you hear that?
163
That sounded huge.
164
Way too big to be lucky.
165
Does Mr. Dirt Spy have pets?
166
I've never seen any.
167
Maybe somebody lives with him.
168
Hello?
169
Mrs. Dirt Spy?
170
What are you doing?
171
Keep your voice down.
172
I can't believe this dust.
173
Eww, it's sticky, like cotton candy or something.
174
Don't rub it on my shirt.
175
Come on, let's find Lucky and get out of here.
176
Lucky, Lucky, come here boy.
177
Lucky, come on Lucky, where are you?
178
Something's not right.
179
Do you think it's strange that there's no staircase or anything?
180
Yeah.. good call.
181
It's just.. one big room...
182
covered in all this.. dust.
183
Oh, wait!
184
Over there!
185
I see him!
186
He looks okay!
187
See?
188
His tail is wagging!
189
Lucky, what are you doing in that pile of.. gunk?
190
Come on, boy.
191
Looks like he's stuck.
192
Here, let's grab him and pull.
193
Okay, okay.
194
You got him?
195
Yeah, but I touched the gunk.
196
It's disgusting.
197
Like a giant hairball.
198
We just gotta get him and then we're out of here.
199
Okay? On three.
200
One, two, three!
201
Ew!
202
Lucky, what's in your mouth?
203
Is that a bone?
204
Do you hear that?
205
It's him.
206
He cannot find us here.
207
We have to hide.
208
Over there.
209
The dust is so thick he won't see us.
210
Dear Spine!
211
Dear Spine!
212
Dear Spine!
213
Dear Spine!
214
Dear Spine!
215
Lucky, I need you to be quiet.
216
Keep the bone in his mouth so he won't bark.
217
Oh, do you smell that?
218
It's awful.
219
Like rotten meat.
220
What do you think is in his bag?
221
I don't know.
222
Loki won't stop moving.
223
Come on, Loki.
224
Cut it out!
225
There's mine!
226
There's mine!
227
There's mine!
228
There's mine!
229
There's mine!
230
What does that even mean?
231
Dirt Spy?
232
Maybe he's saying...
233
Dirt Spy?
234
Like he eats dirt or something? Did you hear that?
235
What's he doing?
236
What's that on the floor? Is that.. a door?
237
Dirt Spy!
238
Dirt Spy!
239
There's mine!
240
There's mine!
241
There's mine!
242
Lucky, seriously, stop moving so much!
243
There's mine!
244
There's mine!
245
There's mine!
246
There's mine!
247
There's mine!
248
There's mine!
249
Come on, he's in the cellar.
250
We've got your dumb dog.
251
Let's get out of here.
252
Yeah, let's leave and never come back.
253
Lucky, no!
254
Why'd you let him escape?
255
I did.
256
He just ran away.
257
Lucky, no!
258
What are you doing?
259
He ran down into the cellar.
260
We gotta go after him.
261
No way, man.
262
You'll never make it out.
263
I'm going to save my dog.
264
Kevin.
265
Kevin.
266
Oh, hi.
267
Um, hi.
268
I didn't mean to surprise you.
269
I just came to get my dog.
270
He ran down here.
271
Uh, what's going on?
272
Kevin, you have to get up here right now.
273
Dirt Spy!
274
Dirt Spy!
275
Dirt Spy!
276
Why do you keep saying that?
277
Dirt Spy!
278
Dirt Spy!
279
What is Dirt Spy?
280
Dirt Spy!
281
Kevin, get up here!
282
It's not gunk, it's a web!
283
A huge web!
284
And there are a ton more bones in it.
285
Unfortunately, Kevin didn't hear Derek.
286
He just stood there, staring at the old man,
287
and watched him reach into his bag.
288
The old man poured out piece after piece of animal meat covered in blood,
289
with the bones still hanging off them.
290
As he arranged them on the floor like a nice rack of ribs,
291
Kevin listened, really listened, and finally understood what he'd been saying all these years.
292
DIR SPY!
293
DIR SPY!
294
DIR SPY!
295
DIR SPY!
296
DIR SPY!
297
DIR SPY!
298
DIR SPY!
299
DIR SPY!
300
DIR SPY!
301
DIR SPY!
302
DIR SPY!
303
DIR SPY!
304
DIR SPY!
305
SPIDER!
306
The old man stepped aside and something huge and hairy with far too many legs rushed forward.
307
RUN!
308
Look at me!
309
RUN!
310
RUN!
311
Well, I warned you that it was a creepy, creepy story.
312
But no, you had to prove that you have a spine and stick around for it.
313
Did Kevin, Derek, and Lucky make it out of the house alive?
314
Or were they eaten by the enormous spider that the old man kept as a pet?
315
Or was the spider the owner and the old man the pet?
316
Do us a favor and don't check out the next episode of this podcast because like this story,
317
the next one will be creepy.
318
Too creepy for anyone, except for creeps like us.
319
And now maybe you.
320
Until next time, we're the Creeps.
321
And this has been The Creeping Hour.
322
The Creeping Hour is a co-production of WGBH and Ellie Lickshine in coordination with PRX.
323
I'm out.

このビデオで話す練習をする理由は？
このオーディオビデオ「エピソード1: ミート・ザ・クリープス」は、話す練習をするための素晴らしい素材です。恐怖心を感じさせるストーリーが展開され、リスナーは自然にその世界に引き込まれます。このようなコンテキストで話す練習をすることは、語彙の拡張や表現力の向上に非常に効果的です。特に、英語の発音を良くするためのリスニングやリピーティングの練習ができるため、成果を実感しやすいです。さらに、ストーリーの中に隠されたメッセージや感情を理解することは、言語能力の向上にも寄与します。
文法と表現のコンテキスト
- 過去形の使用: スピーカーは自己の過去の経験を語っており、「I used to be a normal kid」という表現がその一例です。この構造を理解することで、過去の習慣や状態を表す方法を学べます。
- 条件文: 「If you keep listening, you might become something different」という表現は、条件を示す文法を学ぶのに役立ちます。この形式は、発音の練習にも適しています。
- 強調構文: 「I know what I saw!」という言い回しは、自分の経験を強調するためのフレーズです。強調を使うことで、より印象的な会話が可能になります。
一般的な発音の落とし穴
このビデオには、発音に関するいくつかのトラップが含まれています。例えば、creepyやcreepsなどの音は、子どもたちの恐怖感を引き出すために繰り返し使われていますが、「クリーピー」と発音する際に、母音をしっかりと入れないと正確な発音ができません。また、ストーリーの中では時折早口になり、そこがshadowspeakの練習に最適な部分となります。これらの発音に挑戦することで、IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立つでしょう。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
