00:02 | It's true. Yes, it is true. |
00:11 | My mother, my father and my little brother burnt to death in the family funeral home. |
00:28 | But I think it's important that we have all the facts straight. |
00:38 | Yes, Kane and I were playing with matches that day. |
00:45 | And we were punished when my father found us. |
00:49 | Me more so than Kane. I was the oldest. |
00:54 | I should have known better. |
00:59 | My father explained to us what we were doing and how all this liquids were flammable. |
01:10 | And after he punished me he sent me on my way to do my daily chores. |
01:16 | And as I was leaving the funeral home, |
01:19 | I looked back and I've seen Kane leaving out of one of the rear doors of the embalming room. |
01:27 | And I've seen that he had those liquids in his hands. |
01:35 | It would have never occurred to me what he was gonna do. |
01:40 | I thought nothing of it. |
01:43 | And I live with that fact every day of my life. |
01:50 | Kane was my responsibility. He was my little brother. |
01:58 | As I returned to the funeral home from doing my chores I could hear the sirens. |
02:06 | I could see the smoke filling the sky. |
02:13 | Without knowing I knew...I knew what had happened. |
02:21 | And I ran. And I ran as fast as I could. |
02:29 | When I got to the funeral home it was engulfed in flames. |
02:37 | I never slowed down for one second. I ran right for the front door. |
02:43 | That's when they grabbed me. |
02:50 | They wouldn't let me go in. |
02:55 | The fire fighters, they held me back. |
02:59 | And as I stood there – restrained. |
03:04 | I watched the funeral home. |
03:09 | And inside that funeral home was my mother, my father and little Kane. |
03:23 | I watched that funeral home burn down to the ground. |
03:31 | And yes, Paul, it's true. I wasn't at the funeral. |
03:37 | But you didn't care to explain to the people why that was. |
03:44 | That two nights before during the middle of the night you drug me to the neighboring funeral home so that I could see my family. |
04:02 | To this very day the image of my mother laying on that table |
04:20 | as you pulled that sheet back and I look at the burnt and charred body of the most wonderful woman, |
04:28 | that had ever walked on this earth, laid there, the air escaped from my lungs. |
04:36 | I couldn't breathe. I thought I was gonna be sick. |
04:44 | But you insisted...you insisted that the small boy in the middle of the night go and look at the charred remains of what two days earlier was his family. |
05:05 | It was the day that changed me forever. |
05:18 | For me to be able to deal with the death of my family I had to look at death. |
05:30 | I had to understand that without death there cannot be life. |
05:47 | So I have taken it a part of myself to walk a path where no one else chooses to. |
05:58 | I draw strength from the spirit of the dead. |
06:05 | And that spirit of my mother, of my father and of my little brother will strike you down, Paul Bearer – will strike...you...down! |
