:06:01
How about your wife and son?
Do you think they'll take to it?
:06:06
They'll love it.
:06:07
Great.
:06:11
Before I turn you over to Bill...
:06:14
...there's one other thing I think
we should talk about.
:06:18
Not to sound melodramatic...
:06:19
...but it's been known to
give a few people...
:06:22
...second thoughts about the job.
:06:25
I'm intrigued.
:06:27
I don't suppose they
said anything in Denver...
:06:29
...about the tragedy we had up here
during the winter of 1970.
:06:33
I don't believe they did.
:06:38
My predecessor in this job...
:06:40
...hired a man named Charles Grady
as the winter caretaker.
:06:43
He came up with his wife and
2 little girls of about 8 and 10.
:06:47
He had a good employment record,
good references.
:06:50
And from what I've been told,
he seemed...
:06:52
...like a completely
normal individual.
:06:55
But at some point
during the winter...
:06:58
...he must have suffered some kind
of a complete mental breakdown.
:07:01
He ran amuck...
:07:07
...and killed his family
with an ax.
:07:10
Stacked them neatly in a room
in the west wing, and then...
:07:15
...he put both barrels
of his shotgun in his mouth.
:07:20
The police thought...
:07:22
...that it was what the old-timers
used to call cabin fever.
:07:26
A kind of claustrophobic reaction
which can occur...
:07:29
...when people are shut in together
over long periods of time.
:07:38
That is...
:07:40
...quite a story.
:07:42
Yeah, it is.
:07:45
It's still hard for me to believe
it actually happened here.
:07:48
But it did.
:07:52
I think you can appreciate
why I wanted to tell you about it.
:07:56
I certainly can.
:07:59
I also understand
why your people in Denver...
