George Lutz interview : Part 2

John : So George , what about the marching band ? I mean , let's be honest , uh ... George ?

George : Okay .

John : I mean , an old lady spirit would just as much not have a reason to be marching in a band as an Indian , or , or group of Indians !

George : " Group " is a funny word , isn't it ? I bet there's a demon somewhere named " Group " . Not one I've ever met , but one ... Somewhere out there .

John : George , you're built like a bull , but dance like a freakin' ballerina around my questions ! Now , just answer the question ... What ghost - or ghosts - would be marching in a band in your house ? Does the land have a history of any marching band ever having marched across it , thus giving credence to what some parapsychologists call the psychic residue theory ?

George : No , there's no recorded history of that , but ... As a matter of fact , I think I might have heard the beating of a coconut shell in the band .

John : ... When you heard it ?

George : Heard what ?

John : The band ?

George : Yes , when I heard it .

John : The band ?

George : Yes .

John : The band , though ?

George : What about it ?

John : That's what you're referring to ?

George : When ?

John : When you say , " when I heard it " ?

George : Yes .

John : But ... You're not hearing it now ?

George : No .

John : Okay , so ... Are you suggesting a prehistoric band once marched across 112 Ocean Avenue ? I mean , that would account for it never being known from history , as " prehistoric " implies prehistoric ; more than that , it means prehistoric . ... It is prehistoric ; the word " prehistoric " is the word " prehistoric " .

George : John , I ... I really think you're dwelling too much on this marching band thing , I ... I only said it sounded like a marching band . For all I know it could've been Satan beating out a maddening tune directly on my ear drums .

John : That's a thought .

George : It is , and I'm rather proud of it .

John : How stupid of me to be picking apart the marching band incident , when both film versions only dealt with it subtly at best .

George : How stupid ? I'd say somewhere in the realm of willful ignorance . And that's the problem most people have with this whole story . People will not accept the existence of a demon-pig who can change size , and who is eternally locked in battle with God and Man . ... Despite the overwhelming evidence for it .

John : Such as ?

George : There were cloven hoof tracks in the snow outside the house , John .

John : And do you have proof of that ? Photos , or measurements , or ... ?

George : John , I wouldn't lie about this unless I had some kind of bogus " evidence " to " back it up " . I feel that since I have my testimony alone , without " physical evidence " , shows I'm telling the truth . After all , fakery requires so-called " evidence " to back it up ; truth stands on its own .

John : So , people should believe you because you don't have evidence ?

George : It's what their heart tells them .

John : Okay , um ... Heheheheheheh .... Hehehehahahahahaaahaaahaaaahaha !! Excuse my - hehahahehha - excuse my laughing , George . I know you're a tired man who certainly doesn't need anymore mocking laughter directed toward you , but ... It just tickles me sometimes , the way people entertain fantasies of demonic pigs , excelleratedly aging wives , and ... Oh , I don'know , people having diarrhea as bad as you claimed you had . Was the diarrhea that bad , George ?
