A visit to the dentist is not a pleasant experience, even if it is just a routine check-up. But when a poltergeist settles in a doctor's office, things take a serious turn, turning into pleasure for strong-minded people. If you were a patient of the sixty-year-old doctor Kurt Bachseitz, you would have to treat not only the dental nerve, but the entire nervous system as a whole.
A small dental clinic was located in a picturesque area of the German city of Neutraubling. The doctor worked there with his assistant, a young nurse, Claudia Judenman. In the spring of 1981, the girl was barely seventeen.
Life in a quiet and clean province went on as usual, every square meter of a neat German clinic was equipped to perfectionism, when suddenly inexplicable events began to take place in this ideal living space. A metal bowl, into which one of the patients was going to spit saliva, suddenly barked at the dumbfounded man: "Stop moaning!"
A few days later, the same voice ordered another patient sitting in a chair: "Wider your mouth, dumbass." This time, the sounds came from the side of the sink. Neither the doctor, nor the nurse, nor, moreover, their patient could understand who was the source of the evil voice.
After a while, a new incident occurred when a third patient decided to use the toilet. Before the man had time to sit down on the toilet, a voice from there, below, shouted: "Get out of here, I can't see anything!"
The news of a talking toilet in a dental clinic spread through the small town as quickly as a plague epidemic in medieval Europe. The unfortunate doctor had a hard time. Not only had the number of visitors dropped sharply, but this malicious poltergeist was becoming more chatty every day, and it seemed that he would never close his otherworldly mouth.
Barabashka called himself Chopper and was a very unpleasant person. He spoke in a male voice with a guttural Bavarian accent. Chopper constantly interrupted phone calls, tried to blackmail Bachseits and his patients, shouted various obscenities, and from time to time threatened the doctor and his wife with physical harm.
Promotional video:
The voice was broadcasting from the radio, from the washstands, from the electrical outlets - it was everywhere, ubiquitous and annoying, like a toothache. You never knew where he would come from next.
The only person Chopper was polite to was Claudia. He spoke to her in a friendly tone.
Soon, most of the residents of Neutraubling, without even saying a word, decided that it was more expensive for themselves to treat their teeth in the Bachseitz clinic. Chopper was the perfect anti-advertisement - a curse sent to the doctor for some sins. Bachseits' medical practice was in danger of complete collapse.
In February 1983, a desperate doctor, tormented by an annoying poltergeist, was ready to sue him. Of course, the police could not catch the talking otherworldly creature. The detectives tried to find a hidden device in the office that could reproduce the voice, but nothing came of it.
Then Bachseitz invited the most famous ghost hunter in Germany, Hans Bender. “Let me out! Let go…”, - Chopper begged the hunter - and, meanwhile, he was not going to leave anywhere.
Soon the fame of the nightmarish clinic left the town and went, stumbling over the taunts of evil jokers, wandering the country. Smelling the smell of fried, reporters, spiritualists and just crazy people of all stripes began to come to the small clinic. They even wrote a song about Chopper.
Only the local prosecutor, Elmar Fischer, did not believe in the devilry. He was deeply convinced that the origin of the drum was not paranormal, but criminal. Fischer believed Chopper was a "stupid joke" of Dr. Bachseitz and his nurse, part of their business. In March he announced that Mrs. Judenman had invented a sound projection method.
During interrogation, Claudia fully admitted her guilt, saying that she invented Chopper and was engaged in ventriloquism in order to somehow dispel the "dreary work environment." Bahzeitz, his wife Margot and a nurse were charged with perjury and cheating, as well as damaging the mental health of patients.
Judenmann was fined 1,500 Deutschmarks, and Bachseits and his wife, who until the last denied their guilt, had to pay 23 times more. Thus, Chopper became the most expensive "ghost" in the history of German dentistry. Unfortunately, it did not occur to the prosecutor why a respected dentist in his city, leading a successful practice, needed to ruin his career and endure public humiliation just for the sake of a meaningless prank.
After their ordeal, the doctor and his wife were so emotionally drained that they had to undergo treatment in a psychiatric clinic. And Claudia changed her name and soon left the city.
