- 0:26Speaker 2: Okay, let's get into today's stories. At 5.15 p.m.
- 0:45Speaker 1: On June 28, 1980, a 38-year-old man named Robert Davidson
- 0:50Speaker 1: drove his motorcycle down Interstate 74 in Acton, Indiana, which
- 0:54Speaker 1: is a small community just outside of Indianapolis. On the
- 0:57Speaker 1: back of the motorcycle, with her arms wrapped around his waist,
- 1:00Speaker 1: was Robert's wife.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Her name was Wanda.
- 1:02Speaker 1: The couple was on their way to visit family, and
- 1:05Speaker 1: they were hoping to get there as soon as possible,
- 1:07Speaker 1: not because they wanted to visit, but because there was
- 1:09Speaker 1: a big storm rolling in, and they were hoping to
- 1:11Speaker 1: beat the rain. In fact, right now, right above them,
- 1:13Speaker 1: the sky was turning a dark gray and looked very ominous.
- 1:17Speaker 1: But as Robert nudged his engine to go a little
- 1:19Speaker 1: bit faster, these big raindrops began pelting his arms and
- 1:23Speaker 1: he knew the skies were opening up and he would
- 1:25Speaker 1: have to pull over so he and his wife could
- 1:27Speaker 1: put on rain jackets. And so Robert pulled over to
- 1:29Speaker 1: the side of the road and as soon as he
- 1:30Speaker 1: was stopped, Wanda climbed off and Robert was about to
- 1:34Speaker 1: climb off as well and open up the little trunk
- 1:36Speaker 1: in the back of the motorcycle to get the rain jackets.
- 1:39Speaker 1: But before he did that, There was this sudden flash
- 1:42Speaker 1: of light, and then Robert felt pain all throughout his body.
- 1:46Speaker 1: His muscles went totally rigid, and then he crumpled off
- 1:49Speaker 1: his bike onto the ground, and everything went black. Less
- 1:52Speaker 1: than five minutes later, an ambulance arrived on the scene,
- 1:55Speaker 1: and several first responders jumped out, including a woman named
- 1:59Speaker 1: Kimberly Cobb. Now, Kimberly had been briefed up on this situation.
- 2:03Speaker 1: A man and his wife had pulled over on the
- 2:04Speaker 1: side of Interstate 74, and the man had been struck
- 2:07Speaker 1: by lightning. And so as she ran up to the couple...
- 2:10Speaker 1: She could see Robert was on the ground.
- 2:12Speaker 2: He was not moving.
- 2:13Speaker 1: His skin was waxy and gray and his wife was
- 2:15Speaker 1: sort of in shock and she was standing next to him,
- 2:18Speaker 1: just kind of sobbing uncontrollably. And Kimberly, she jumped into action.
- 2:22Speaker 1: She jumped down next to Robert and she felt for
- 2:24Speaker 1: a pulse, but he didn't have one. At this point,
- 2:27Speaker 1: Kimberly knew she maybe had a couple of minutes here
- 2:29Speaker 1: to basically revive Robert or he was doomed. And so Kimberly,
- 2:33Speaker 1: she worked immediately on stabilizing Robert's spine while one of
- 2:36Speaker 1: her team members, one of the other first responders.
- 2:39Speaker 2: Jumped in and began doing CPR.
- 2:41Speaker 1: And then a third first responder hopped on the ambulance
- 2:43Speaker 1: radio and called in an emergency medical helicopter to get
- 2:47Speaker 1: here and fly Robert to a hospital as soon as possible.
- 2:50Speaker 2: They quickly got a.
- 2:51Speaker 1: Response from the helicopter crew saying they were en route,
- 2:54Speaker 1: but before the crew or any of the first responders
- 2:57Speaker 1: could communicate any further over the radio, suddenly out of nowhere,
- 3:01Speaker 1: their ambulance just completely shut down, like completely shut off
- 3:06Speaker 1: The lights, the sirens, the engine, everything went completely silent.
- 3:09Speaker 1: And this was a huge problem because some of the
- 3:12Speaker 1: medical equipment that they needed to keep Robert alive until
- 3:16Speaker 1: the helicopter got here required the ambulance to be on
- 3:19Speaker 1: to use it. And so with the ambulance off, it
- 3:23Speaker 1: was useless. But in addition to just what a problem
- 3:25Speaker 1: this was, this also was like really confusing to Kimberly
- 3:29Speaker 1: and the other first responders. Because when ambulances are built,
- 3:34Speaker 1: they are built with the idea that there can never
- 3:36Speaker 1: be a situation where the ambulance just totally turns off.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Because again, it's like a worst case scenario. And so
- 3:42Speaker 1: they give each ambulance two batteries, a primary and a backup.
- 3:46Speaker 1: So that if for some reason the primary dies, you
- 3:49Speaker 1: always have that backup and can always use the life-saving equipment.
- 3:53Speaker 1: So the idea that both of these batteries failed simultaneously
- 3:57Speaker 1: was like, How?
- 3:58Speaker 2: How could that possibly happen?
- 4:00Speaker 1: But before Kimberly or the other first responders could even
- 4:03Speaker 1: begin to understand how that happened, something else began happening.
- 4:07Speaker 1: They turned and saw there was this woman dressed in
- 4:10Speaker 1: this old, long, black dress running up the road, this
- 4:15Speaker 1: desolate highway. This woman is charging up the road, screaming
- 4:19Speaker 1: at them. And above her head, she's waving a Bible
- 4:22Speaker 1: and she's yelling at them to, hey, let me touch him.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Let me touch him. I can save him. And the
- 4:28Speaker 1: first responders are looking at each other like, what is
- 4:30Speaker 1: going on here? Now, none of the first responders, nor Wanda,
- 4:34Speaker 1: had any idea who this woman was as she continued
- 4:36Speaker 1: running up the road, waving her Bible and yelling at them.
- 4:39Speaker 1: But again, you need to picture this scene. The ambulance
- 4:42Speaker 1: is off. They can't do anything to help Robert. They're
- 4:45Speaker 1: basically waiting for the helicopter to show up. which they
- 4:48Speaker 1: hope is on the way, but they can't communicate with
- 4:50Speaker 1: the helicopter. And Robert basically is clinically dead at this point.
- 4:54Speaker 1: He doesn't have a pulse. He's been struck by lightning. Like,
- 4:56Speaker 1: there's nothing anybody can do except wait around and hope
- 4:59Speaker 1: the helicopter shows up. And so when this woman came
- 5:01Speaker 1: running up to the scene saying she could touch Robert
- 5:04Speaker 1: and save him, none of the first responders were like, oh, yeah,
- 5:07Speaker 1: that's a great idea.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Let's bring her in. She can save the day. But
- 5:10Speaker 2: they were sort of like, well... No one else is
- 5:12Speaker 2: doing anything.
- 5:13Speaker 1: And they looked over at Wanda and she was just
- 5:15Speaker 1: as shocked as they were at this woman's arrival and
- 5:17Speaker 1: what she was saying. And so the first responders and
- 5:20Speaker 1: Wanda just kind of stood there and allowed this woman
- 5:23Speaker 1: in her black dress with her Bible to just wander
- 5:26Speaker 1: up and crouch down next to Robert. and begin this
- 5:30Speaker 1: totally bizarre ritual. At first, the woman just began praying
- 5:33Speaker 1: over Robert, and she's holding her Bible, and she's very focused,
- 5:36Speaker 1: and she's calm. And again, Kimberly, the first responders, and Wanda,
- 5:40Speaker 1: they're all just standing there looking at each other and
- 5:42Speaker 1: looking at this woman being like, what is going on here?
- 5:44Speaker 1: But then eventually, this woman in black, she begins getting
- 5:47Speaker 1: really animated and begins slamming her Bible on the and
- 5:52Speaker 1: begins screaming up at the heavens, demanding they save this
- 5:56Speaker 1: man's life. Now, Kimberly and the others and Wanda, they're
- 5:59Speaker 1: all watching this in total shock and just kind of
- 6:02Speaker 1: let it keep on happening. Because again, it was sort
- 6:04Speaker 1: of like, at this point, we're already committed and what
- 6:07Speaker 1: harm can this woman do? I mean, Robert's clinically dead.
- 6:10Speaker 1: And so Kimberly and the others just stood there silently
- 6:12Speaker 1: watching as this woman in black continued to slam her
- 6:15Speaker 1: Bible and demand that this man be saved.
- 6:19Speaker 2: And then it was like something.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Came over this woman. It was like she was completely
- 6:22Speaker 1: possessed and she grabbed her Bible and she lifted it
- 6:25Speaker 1: over her head. She's kneeling right beside Robert. And when
- 6:28Speaker 1: she opened her mouth and looked up at the sky,
- 6:31Speaker 1: it wasn't her voice that came out. It was like
- 6:33Speaker 1: another voice. And she began speaking in tongues, things that
- 6:36Speaker 1: didn't make any sense. She's saying all these crazy gibberish
- 6:39Speaker 1: things to the sky. And as Kimberly and the others
- 6:41Speaker 1: are getting frightened by what they're seeing and are about
- 6:43Speaker 1: to step in, it was like the woman just stopped
- 6:46Speaker 1: and she stood up slowly, turned, and walked down the
- 6:49Speaker 1: road back the direction she came. And within seconds of
- 6:52Speaker 1: this woman beginning to walk off, the ambulance turned back on, lights, sirens,
- 6:57Speaker 1: the engine all came back on, nothing wrong with it,
- 7:00Speaker 1: and Robert began to breathe. Kimberly and the other first
- 7:04Speaker 1: responders and Wanda just stared at Robert in total shock.
- 7:08Speaker 1: He had not had a heartbeat for several minutes. Like,
- 7:11Speaker 1: he was dead. How he's alive, when there was no
- 7:14Speaker 1: medical intervention, really, because the ambulance was off, the only
- 7:18Speaker 1: intervention was this woman and whatever she was doing. Like,
- 7:21Speaker 1: nobody could comprehend that. But before anybody could make sense
- 7:24Speaker 1: of that, the medical helicopter arrived. And seconds later, it
- 7:27Speaker 1: was chaos getting Robert onto the helicopter. And then before long, Robert, Wanda,
- 7:32Speaker 1: and the helicopter took off. And then before long, Kimberly
- 7:35Speaker 1: and the other first responders were just left there in
- 7:38Speaker 1: the first moment of silence they had had for several minutes.
- 7:41Speaker 1: just standing on the side of Interstate 74 thinking, what
- 7:44Speaker 1: just happened? Now, none of the first responders wanted to
- 7:46Speaker 1: admit to this, but they were all thinking the same thing.
- 7:49Speaker 1: That woman in black had to have done something that,
- 7:53Speaker 1: you know, brought Robert back to life. I mean, there
- 7:55Speaker 1: really was no other explanation. However, when the first responders
- 7:59Speaker 1: just all kind of looked in the direction where this
- 8:02Speaker 1: woman had turned and walked off just a couple of
- 8:04Speaker 1: minutes earlier, she was gone. Now, keep in mind, where
- 8:08Speaker 1: she had come from, where she had, you know, run
- 8:10Speaker 1: up the road from. It was just one big open
- 8:12Speaker 1: road with really no obstructions. And then off to the
- 8:16Speaker 1: side of the road.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Was this huge open field.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Basically, if someone had been walking for only a couple
- 8:21Speaker 1: of minutes in that direction, from their vantage point, they
- 8:24Speaker 1: would have seen them.
- 8:26Speaker 2: There's nowhere to hide.
- 8:26Speaker 1: There's nowhere to go.
- 8:27Speaker 2: But she was gone.
- 8:29Speaker 1: However, Kimberly and the other first responders would quickly learn
- 8:33Speaker 1: this particular stretch of highway, in fact more specifically the
- 8:37Speaker 1: field off the side of this highway, had great significance
- 8:41Speaker 1: to this whole story. That big field that lined Interstate 74,
- 8:45Speaker 1: where effectively the woman in black had disappeared to, used
- 8:48Speaker 1: to be the home of a place called the Acton Campground,
- 8:51Speaker 1: which was a Methodist community in the 1800s.
- 8:54Speaker 2: The members of this community.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Were known for their really loud prayer style, and also
- 8:59Speaker 1: for speaking in tongues. Now, unfortunately, this community actually burned
- 9:04Speaker 1: to the ground in 1864. Afterwards, they rebuilt, but then
- 9:08Speaker 1: in 1905, disaster.
- 9:10Speaker 2: Struck again, and it burned to the ground again. And
- 9:13Speaker 2: this time, they did not rebuild.
- 9:15Speaker 1: Instead, the community was leveled to the ground, was sold off,
- 9:18Speaker 1: and then eventually was just abandoned and became a big
- 9:21Speaker 1: empty field. After the story of Robert's miraculous recovery began
- 9:25Speaker 1: to spread, some people began to think that the woman
- 9:28Speaker 1: in black might have been a ghost of one of
- 9:30Speaker 1: these Acton residents from the 1800s who basically was drawn
- 9:34Speaker 1: out to save Robert's life. Also, her intense prayers and
- 9:38Speaker 1: speaking in tongues, along with the woman disappearing back into
- 9:42Speaker 1: the field where the Acton campground had been, certainly seemed
- 9:45Speaker 1: to cement the idea that this theory could actually be true.
- 9:48Speaker 2: However, since that.
- 9:50Speaker 1: Day in 1980, no one has seen the woman in
- 9:52Speaker 1: black again. The show is sponsored by BetterHelp, your most
- 9:59Speaker 1: important relationship is the one you have with yourself. But oftentimes,
- 10:03Speaker 1: building that relationship can be hard because we spend a
- 10:05Speaker 1: lot of time simply cutting ourselves down when actually we
- 10:08Speaker 1: should be trying to build ourselves up.
- 10:10Speaker 2: Whether you're going through difficult.
- 10:11Speaker 1: Times or struggling with past traumas or simply just growing up,
- 10:15Speaker 1: you still deserve to like yourself. Your self-esteem is really
- 10:18Speaker 1: something that's worth looking after and and therapy can help
- 10:21Speaker 1: you do that. When I got out of the military
- 10:23Speaker 1: in 2017, I basically hated myself. I was angry all
- 10:26Speaker 1: the time, I was destroying relationships left and right, and honestly,
- 10:30Speaker 1: therapy made the difference.

- 11:11Speaker 1: in February of 2011... A man in his 30s named
- 11:14Speaker 1: Yang was eating dinner inside of his home in a
- 11:17Speaker 1: rural village in China. Around him at the table were
- 11:20Speaker 1: his five elderly aunts, who he lived with and took
- 11:22Speaker 1: care of. Now, nobody spoke over dinner. It was totally silent.
- 11:26Speaker 1: But this was common, and it was not awkward at all.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Because Yang actually preferred silence. He had been born with
- 11:33Speaker 1: a disability that made it nearly impossible for him to speak.
- 11:36Speaker 1: It also had left him blind in one eye. And
- 11:38Speaker 1: over the course of Yang's life, he had been sort
- 11:41Speaker 1: of bullied for his disability. And as a result, he
- 11:44Speaker 1: really didn't like being around other people. And he certainly
- 11:46Speaker 1: didn't like trying to talk to other people. I mean,
- 11:49Speaker 1: that was really, again, something he had a really hard
- 11:51Speaker 1: time doing. But in his life, the few people that
- 11:55Speaker 1: totally accepted him and loved him were his family, in particular,
- 11:59Speaker 1: his five aunts. They didn't care at all that basically
- 12:02Speaker 1: he never spoke. And so, for example, at this dinner table,
- 12:05Speaker 1: there was no expectation that anybody would speak.
- 12:08Speaker 2: And Yang loved it.
- 12:10Speaker 1: But more than just feeling happy that he could be
- 12:12Speaker 1: himself around his aunts, Yang also took a lot of
- 12:15Speaker 1: pride in looking after his aunts. He wanted to make
- 12:17Speaker 1: sure they were comfortable and well looked after in their
- 12:20Speaker 1: old age. So after this silent dinner, Yang stood up
- 12:24Speaker 1: and he cleaned the table off, And then he helped
- 12:26Speaker 1: one of his aunts go up to her bedroom. And
- 12:27Speaker 1: after getting her tucked in, and as Yang was about
- 12:30Speaker 1: to go down and help the next aunt go to
- 12:32Speaker 1: her bedroom, he heard sirens outside. Now, Yang lives in
- 12:35Speaker 1: this very remote rural village in China that's actually so
- 12:39Speaker 1: remote they didn't have their own police force. But even
- 12:42Speaker 1: more specifically, Yang literally in his whole life had never
- 12:46Speaker 1: even heard a siren or seen a police car. And
- 12:49Speaker 1: so this is like really unique. And so instead of
- 12:51Speaker 1: going and helping his next aunt, Yang went outside to
- 12:54Speaker 1: see what was going on.
- 12:56Speaker 2: And as soon as he got out there, he looked
- 12:57Speaker 2: down the hill. He was up on top of this hill.
- 12:59Speaker 2: That's where his house was.
- 13:01Speaker 1: He saw at the base of the hill, about 600
- 13:03Speaker 1: feet away, were two police cars with their lights flashing.
- 13:06Speaker 1: I mean, clearly something major was happening in his town.
- 13:09Speaker 1: And so again, feeling very curious because he's never seen
- 13:12Speaker 1: anything like this, Yang decides to continue to investigate. And
- 13:16Speaker 1: so he leaves his home and begins walking down the
- 13:18Speaker 1: road towards the cars.
- 13:20Speaker 2: But he stops at a safe distance away because one,
- 13:23Speaker 2: he doesn't want to interfere.
- 13:25Speaker 1: And two, he really doesn't want to talk to the
- 13:27Speaker 1: police because he can't really talk. And he's actually worried
- 13:30Speaker 1: that he's going to get bullied if he talks to
- 13:32Speaker 1: the police. And so from a safe distance... He just
- 13:35Speaker 1: stood there and watched whatever was going on. And what
- 13:38Speaker 1: was going on is the two police officers who had
- 13:41Speaker 1: responded and shown up in Yang's village were standing there
- 13:44Speaker 1: at the foot of this hill trying to make sense
- 13:47Speaker 1: of this insane story a local farmer had just told them.
- 13:50Speaker 1: The man was sitting there, you know, his face was
- 13:52Speaker 1: in his hands. He was crying hysterically and he was
- 13:55Speaker 1: trying to give them more information, but it was like
- 13:57Speaker 1: he was too upset. And finally, one of the officers
- 14:00Speaker 1: tells the guy like, hey, stop what you're doing. start
- 14:02Speaker 1: all over again. Calm down and just tell us the
- 14:05Speaker 1: story from the beginning. And at this, the farmer did
- 14:07Speaker 1: calm down. And after taking a deep breath, he told
- 14:10Speaker 1: the officer the story. He said about a week earlier,
- 14:12Speaker 1: he had this horrible nightmare. He said he dreamed of
- 14:15Speaker 1: his mother and she was shrouded in darkness and she
- 14:18Speaker 1: was terrified and she was screaming for his help. And
- 14:21Speaker 1: the farmer said, you know, in the dream, he ran
- 14:23Speaker 1: to his mother to try to save her. But as
- 14:25Speaker 1: soon as he would get close to her, it was
- 14:27Speaker 1: like the shadow went over his mother and then she disappeared.
- 14:30Speaker 1: And then the farmer would wake up and he'd be
- 14:32Speaker 1: so terrified and so upset. Now, at first, the farmer
- 14:35Speaker 1: told the officer that, you know, he didn't think much
- 14:37Speaker 1: of this nightmare. You know, he was not a superstitious person.
- 14:40Speaker 2: He just thought, you know what, it's a nightmare. But
- 14:42Speaker 2: over the next several days, he kept having the.
- 14:45Speaker 1: Same nightmare about his mother that, you know, she was
- 14:48Speaker 1: scared and then she would disappear as soon.
- 14:49Speaker 2: As he went to help her.
- 14:50Speaker 1: And so after a week of these horrible dreams, the
- 14:53Speaker 1: farmer said he finally decided, you know what, I'm just
- 14:56Speaker 1: going to go check on my mother in person and
- 14:58Speaker 1: make sure she's okay. But when he went to his
- 15:00Speaker 1: mother's place, his mother was missing and he couldn't find
- 15:03Speaker 1: her anywhere. And he had this horrible thought that she'd
- 15:06Speaker 1: been abducted. And so he had called the police. Now,
- 15:09Speaker 1: the police did understand that it was totally bizarre that
- 15:12Speaker 1: they were here ultimately because of some guy's nightmare. But
- 15:16Speaker 1: when they went to his mother's place, she really was missing.
- 15:19Speaker 1: And so they ultimately told the farmer to just go
- 15:21Speaker 1: home and that they would put together a search party
- 15:24Speaker 1: and they would look for his mother. And so after
- 15:26Speaker 1: the farmer said, okay, and then headed back towards his place,
- 15:29Speaker 1: the two officers got back in their cruisers and they
- 15:32Speaker 1: drove out of the village past Yang, who was still
- 15:34Speaker 1: standing there watching everything happening, back to the police station.
- 15:38Speaker 1: And there, the officers immediately coordinated two investigative teams that
- 15:42Speaker 1: would go out and look for the farmer's mother. Now,
- 15:44Speaker 1: one of these teams was sent to a local city
- 15:46Speaker 1: to basically canvas the area to see if she was there,
- 15:49Speaker 1: but that search proved to be fruitless. And then the
- 15:51Speaker 1: other investigative team they were sent back to the village.
- 15:55Speaker 1: And when they were there, they went door to door
- 15:57Speaker 1: asking all the residents if they had any idea what
- 16:00Speaker 1: happened to this farmer's mother. And it was during this
- 16:02Speaker 1: search in the village that they got a tip. And
- 16:06Speaker 1: that tip would lead them to a very specific location,
- 16:09Speaker 1: Yang's home. And when police went to Yang's home, they
- 16:12Speaker 1: found the front door.
- 16:13Speaker 2: Was wide open.
- 16:14Speaker 1: But when they walked right up and yelled inside of
- 16:16Speaker 1: the home calling out for Yang, nobody yelled back. In fact,
- 16:20Speaker 1: the home was totally dark and silent. And so after
- 16:22Speaker 1: a few more minutes of police calling out for anyone
- 16:25Speaker 1: inside the home to come out and talk to them
- 16:26Speaker 1: and not getting an answer, the police decided to walk inside.
- 16:30Speaker 1: And so into this dark, cramped home they went. And
- 16:34Speaker 1: as they walked, they noticed there were all these dirty
- 16:36Speaker 1: towels and dirty dishes and sort of trash everywhere. I mean,
- 16:39Speaker 1: the place was kind of a pigsty.
- 16:41Speaker 2: And again, it's eerily silent.
- 16:43Speaker 1: Every step they took, they were walking on these boards
- 16:45Speaker 1: that creaked with every step. And as they're moving, they're
- 16:48Speaker 1: calling out, you know, Yang, if you're in here, come out.
- 16:51Speaker 1: But again, it's totally silent. And they eventually make their
- 16:54Speaker 1: way to the very back of the home. Now, the
- 16:56Speaker 1: police really did not know what to expect when they
- 16:58Speaker 1: showed up at Yang's place. But they did hope that
- 17:01Speaker 1: by going there, they would somehow, someway find a reasonable
- 17:05Speaker 1: explanation for all of this. You know, the dream that
- 17:08Speaker 1: kicked off this investigation and this totally bizarre tip they got.
- 17:12Speaker 2: I mean, they really just wanted to put this thing
- 17:13Speaker 2: to bed.
- 17:14Speaker 1: And they were hoping that by going to Yang's place,
- 17:16Speaker 1: they would get that. However, when the police walked into
- 17:19Speaker 1: the very last room they had not searched yet, the
- 17:21Speaker 1: very back of his home, they knew there was no
- 17:24Speaker 1: reasonable explanation here. That back room is where Yang's aunts
- 17:28Speaker 1: all slept. And when the police walked into that room,
- 17:31Speaker 1: sure enough, the aunts were in their beds where Yang.
- 17:34Speaker 2: Had left them.
- 17:35Speaker 1: However, the police realized, like, wait a minute, we have
- 17:37Speaker 1: been yelling and screaming and trying to get people to
- 17:40Speaker 1: come out of the home, yet all these women are
- 17:42Speaker 1: still asleep. How could they possibly sleep through all that commotion?
- 17:46Speaker 1: But as the police walked up to each of these
- 17:49Speaker 1: five women, they realized the outlandish tip that had sent
- 17:53Speaker 1: them here in the first place had to be correct.
- 17:56Speaker 1: It would turn out Yang did not harm that farmer's mother.
- 17:59Speaker 1: In fact, he did the opposite. She was one of
- 18:02Speaker 1: his five elderly aunts, and he went to great lengths
- 18:05Speaker 1: to care for each of these women. I mean, he
- 18:07Speaker 1: basically would have done anything for them.
- 18:09Speaker 2: However, there was a problem.
- 18:10Speaker 1: His five aunts were dead and had been for a
- 18:13Speaker 1: long time. While Yang considered these women to be his family, literally,
- 18:17Speaker 1: I mean, he called them his aunts. In reality, he
- 18:20Speaker 1: was not related to them at all. Instead, these were
- 18:23Speaker 1: just women from the local village where he lived who
- 18:26Speaker 1: had been nice to him. They had all died of
- 18:28Speaker 1: natural causes. But Yang didn't understand it when they passed away. Instead,
- 18:33Speaker 1: all Yang knew is that he was sort of an
- 18:35Speaker 1: outcast and that nobody respected him and he was treated
- 18:38Speaker 1: really badly by most people except for these women. They'd
- 18:41Speaker 1: been the only people that really cared about him. And
- 18:44Speaker 1: so after they died, he felt really sad and lonely.
- 18:48Speaker 1: And so one by one, he dug these women up
- 18:51Speaker 1: and brought them home with him. and began caring for
- 18:54Speaker 1: them as if they were still alive. When that farmer
- 18:56Speaker 1: had gone to go check on his mother after having
- 18:58Speaker 1: the recurring nightmare about her going missing, he had gone
- 19:02Speaker 1: to her grave site and found her coffin was literally empty,
- 19:06Speaker 1: hence believing somebody had abducted her body. And then the
- 19:09Speaker 1: strange tip police got that led them literally to Yang's
- 19:12Speaker 1: house was a local had seen Yang carrying a body
- 19:16Speaker 1: up the.
- 19:16Speaker 2: Hill to his home.
- 19:17Speaker 1: And his home actually was not a typical home. Instead,
- 19:20Speaker 1: Yang's home was actually just a cave that he had
- 19:23Speaker 1: outfitted with some boards on the ground for a floor
- 19:25Speaker 1: and a couple of makeshift beds. Yang was arrested for
- 19:28Speaker 1: what he did, but ultimately he was sent to a
- 19:31Speaker 1: psychiatric hospital for treatment. All of the bodies that Yang
- 19:34Speaker 1: stole were reburied, and the farmer's recurring nightmares about his
- 19:37Speaker 1: mother stopped as soon as her body was returned to
- 19:40Speaker 1: her grave.
