  Speaker 1: The woman was too stunned to speak. I'm sorry, I'm
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: taking someone to the poo-poo party court. Did I do
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: court back then? Because that is not all right. This
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: is not a drill. We are halfway to Halloween.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Halloween is cool. So I am giving you exactly what
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: you want. And we are reading real, true, horrifying Reddit stories.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Let's get into it. I grew up in a funeral home.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Helped out in the office.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: When I was about 15, we got a call from
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: a man... whose wife and infant baby had been cancelled
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: in cold blood. There were very few clues, and it
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: made headlines. Cops set up surveillance at the viewing. It
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: was heartbreaking as the mother was holding the baby.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: In her arms. I always hear that.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I always hear from funeral people that babies are the hardest.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: If I died in childbirth, I'd want my baby in
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: my arms too. I was asked to take the flower
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: cards and periodically get the husband and ask if he
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: recognized the names. Then I photocopied them and put them back.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I did it because I was a kid. People knew
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: me and I was not obtrusive.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: And abrusive? Define that, please.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I talked to the husband quite a bit and he
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: seemed devastated and shaken. As we expected. The cops told
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: me that they had an eyewitness to someone leaving the
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: house the day of the murder. The witness was a
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: three-year-old little girl. She recognized the man leaving. It was
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the husband's best friend. Right to jail.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Right away.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Turns out that the friend and the husband had made
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: a pact to kill each other's families and run off
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: with their secretaries. The little girl identified the friend, and
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I guess one of them cracked.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: The p * * * wants what the p *
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: * * wants.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: They both went to jail on multiple counts, all on
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: the testimony of.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: A three-year-old girl.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I still cannot believe to this day that that man
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: stood right beside me. Multiple times, and I had no clue.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I don't think I ever looked at life the same
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: way after that.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you wouldn't.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Being someone who has touched in the realm of the M-word... Yeah,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: you're never the same. You never look at anyone the same,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: you never trust anyone the same.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: It is what it is. Probably for the best. Not
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the murder. Looking at life differently.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: The Cincinnati Privy Disaster of 1904. Although the morning paper
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: said it would be a fair, warming day, the horizon
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: darkened with looming rain. Principal Thomas L. Simmerman watched the
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: fidgeting children as they lined up in the hall and
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: decided to give them a few minutes of frolic and exercise.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: A little rain wouldn't hurt them. At precisely 10.15 a.m.,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: September 23, 1904, Zimmerman rang the bell to release the
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: students from the Pleasant Ridge School for morning recess and
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: watch them file outside. Caring little about the threatening skies,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: the boys immediately started a game of baseball. The girls
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: scattered about the playground in smaller groups. Zimmerman had misjudged
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the proximity of the approaching storm.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Only a few moments had passed.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Before the wind kicked up and the first scattered raindrops
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: started to fall. The ball game continued for another minute.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: The girls huddled.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Together but didn't seek shelter until a sudden downpour caught
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: them off guard. The boys playing ball and most of
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the girls ran for the school building. But some of
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the girls, at least 30 of them, made a dash
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: for the outhouse on the other side of the playground.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: The outhouse was.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Positioned over a 12-foot-deep stone vault and located on the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: east side of Pleasant Ridge School. The building was 11
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: years old and had been repaired several times. Just a
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: year prior, the school had hired a carpenter to install
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: new seats and replaced the flooring and siding. The carpenter
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: presumed that the building was sound when he laid the
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: floor over the old one, which he did without inspecting
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: the joists. Great.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: A huge thank you to Midas Merge for sponsoring today's video.

• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Thanks Midas for sponsoring today's show.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Let's get back to it.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Alishkor, 14, was among the girls to enter the privy.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: When she saw how many girls were in, she tried
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: to squeeze into the small, smelly place. She had a
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: vision of a collapsing floor and tried to get out,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: but the bottleneck on the side of the door pushed
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: her back inside. Twelve-year-old Hazel heard someone say, oh, what
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: if this would break down with us here? The words
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: had hardly come out of her mouth when something happened.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Hazel said, without the slightest groaning of the wood or
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: tremble of the floor, the joists on the side of
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the building, sodden from years of moisture- In an instant,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the entire floor crashed to the bottom of the vault,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: carrying with it a crowd of shocked and frightened girls.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: There were at least 31 girls, maybe even 35, inside
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: the tiny room when the floor fell from underneath them.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: The floor fell nearly 8 feet straight down and disintegrated,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: churning with the children in a stone vault with a.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Pool of foul water flowing.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Feet deep. The children were as young as seven. In
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: the panic that ensued, it became a battle for life.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: The girls unwittingly pitted against each other for survival as
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: they tried to climb out of the vault and into
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the four-foot-deep pool of waste.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, he just doesn't discuss that.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: The weaker ones were crushed down by the stronger and
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: forced under the mass of filth.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: To their death.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Simmerman wrote an account published in the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: No warning from the hysterical girls screaming in the rain
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: could have prepared Simmerman for what he was about to discover.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: There was only one narrow door to the outhouse. A
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: dozen toilet seats were still attached to the three sides
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: of the wall, but there was no floor at all.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: The sight of the girls, some of them scrambling to
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the walls, others struggling to keep their heads above the
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: sinking waist, and nearly all of them screaming, help me,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: save me, caused the principal to stagger back in almost vain.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Zimmerman quickly rallied himself, called out for a rope and ladders.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Then teachers leaped into action, but the stepladders from the
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: school were too short and the ropes were clotheslines that
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: proved to be as rotten as the piffy joists. Coroner
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Weaver issued his verdict on October 19th, citing suffocation as
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: the cause of the nine deaths and declaring gross negligence
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: on the part of the Board of Education. No charges
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: were ever filed or indictments issued.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: The woman was too stunned to speak.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm taking someone to the poo-poo party court.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Did I do court back then? Because that is not
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: all right. Next up, this one's about a morgue.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: But that wasn't in the interview, was it? And then
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: you show up and they're like, this is Francis. You're
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: gonna roll Francis down the hall for his last little
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: walk of life.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: That's a weird.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Way to look at it, but alright. There was only
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: one instance that spooked me so bad. My coworker and
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I were given notice to move a body out and
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: clean up the room for its next occupant. We got
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: up there, got the woman's body out of the bed
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: and onto a gurney, and went around making sure that
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: the various apparati around the bed was dormant.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Nurse's job.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: But we were always told to check. I go stand
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: at the foot of the gurney to direct it when
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: my co-worker squeaks.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Dude, she's awake. Can you imagine?
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: They're like, yeah, go take this dead person down.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: And then they're just like, you want to party? That'd
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: be me. I'd wake up and I'd be like, whoa,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: they sent me back. Shit.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: The lady was blinking rapidly over freaky glassed over dead eyes.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Anyone who has seen a dead person eyes knows what
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about. There is clearly no life left in
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the body. I can attest to that when my grandmother
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: died of pancreatic cancer.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: That was wild.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: You know they're gone. In that moment, you're like, we
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: are meat sacks. We both freaked out and screamed for
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: the nurses who came running. They called a code whatever,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: thinking she might be waking up. My coworker and I
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: just backed up, flattened ourselves against.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: The windows, and watched the ruckus. Amen. The woman was
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: stone dead.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: No breathing, no heartbeat, no brain activity, nada. None of
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: the nurses or the doctor could tell us why the
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: woman was blinking several hours post-mortem. I'm wondering if it's
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: some kind of rigor mortis, some kind of nerve thing
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: in the body, but that's weird.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Other than that, nothing weird.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Has ever happened except for feeling like a bad person
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: because I was amused by a cardiac patient who passed
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: away from the effort of self-tickling.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I would have went home.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I would have been like, I need to go home
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: because I need to process what just happened because that just.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Opens a lot of questions about life and death. Great,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: sounds fun.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Am I an asshole for being angry that my roommate
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: was sleeping under my bed for months without telling me?
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say no.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Immediately, you're not an asshole. That's, he's an asshole. That's weird.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Okay. I, 24 male, have lived with my roommate, Coral,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: 24 male, for two years. A few months into rooming
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: with him, he told me he was pansexual.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I said, okay, cool.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: I am not interested in that personal information, nor am
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I judgmental.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I said, all right, all right.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: A few times over the past year, he has asked
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: me if I have ever considered experimenting with other men.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I said, no.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Also, I said I didn't feel comfortable with him asking
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: me such a personal question.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: It's not like we were close friends.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: We were only roommates by happenstance. Anyway, every time I
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: said this, he basically said, we'll see.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I was like, what?
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Anyways, last night I had such a horrifying experience. I
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: heard a noise under my bed.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: It was a movement.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: At first I thought it was imagining things, but then
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I heard it again. I thought, oh God, it is
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: a mouse or a rat or some shit. My God,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: this was like 3 a.m. So I got out of
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: bed and I looked under my bed with my phone off.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Now this was the most.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Startling moment of my life. There under my bed was
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: my roommate staring wide-eyed at me and he screeched when
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I looked under the bed.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: No! No!
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I literally thought I was having a heart attack. I
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: then just started hearing, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. My
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: roommate crawled out from under the bed crying. I was
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: so creeped out and afraid that I ran out of
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: the apartment in my pajamas. There was a Dunkin' Donut
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: that was open 24-7 a couple blocks away from me,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: so I just sat in there with a decaf and
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: a breakfast sandwich with my heart thundering away. My roommate
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: kept texting me, asking me to talk.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I ignored it.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Babe, you get your parents to go move you out,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: and you never talk to that person again, okay?
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Call the cops. It's really creepy. I don't know. Would
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: you call the cops? Would you call the cops?
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: In the text, he found a way to horrify me
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: even further. He confessed that he had been sleeping under
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: my bed for a few nights a week for three
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: or four months, and that he was doing it to
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: get closer to me and physically saturate each other. What
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: the fu- I waited for him to go to work
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: and I ran into the apartment, got my essentials and left.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: I am currently crashing with a buddy. Our lease is
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: up in one month and my intention is to simply
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: not renew.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Ding!
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: This dude is blowing up my phone and I am
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: getting texts from other people. He is going around telling
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: people that I shamed him and that I'm rejecting his apologies.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Some people are claiming that I'm overreacting and invalidating his feelings.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Most people agree that he was improper, but that I
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: should work it out with him and give him a
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: second chance because he's sensitive. No, sorry, I'm not one
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: of those people. So am I an asshole or is
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: everyone around me a nut?
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: You're not the asshole.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: As a pansexual person, I would like to say for
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: our group of people, though, no.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, babe. That's gross. And horrifying.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: This is under a Reddit thread called, Reddit, what's the
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: creepiest true story someone has ever told you?
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Let's get into it.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Way back in the fifth grade or so, I discovered
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: a glorious Pokemon-themed chat room through the wonders of Yahoo.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Within this chat room, there were maybe 15 regulars, generally
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: between the ages of 12.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: And 16 or so.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: We had a great time role-playing various anime characters and storylines.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Anyway, I got to know a few people.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: From there overall well enough to chat with them on AIM.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Is it A-I-M or AIM? That's before my time. Or
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: by phone.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: And a few of those friendships lasted a good four
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: or five years. One of these guys was a little eccentric.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: He.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: loved creature monster models and stories.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: He believed in things like chupacabras, which I thought was silly, but.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Didn't really care. He lived out in the boonies.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: In some Midwestern state. After getting to know him pretty
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: well and having a good 100 hours of phone conversations
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: over the years, he finally revealed this lovely story.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: He told me that sometimes he would black out and
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: wake up to discover that he had or was still
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: in the process of hurting animals and children. When he
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: revealed this to me, I felt sick inside. I love animals,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: and this information chilled me to the bone. It was
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: really hard for him to tell me this, and he
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: confided that I was one of the only people he
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: had ever been.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Able to tell. Then it got weird.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: How does it get weirder? Someone in his family, or
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: maybe a family friend, decided that he must be possessed
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: by a demon, and that they had to perform an exorcism.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: They did it at night, of course, in a.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Dark room lit by candles, and he was tied to
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the bed because they didn't know how the demon would react.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I could hear his voice quivering, because he was so
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: emotional and terrified at this part of the story. He
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: said that they heard something hit the floor under the
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: bed when the demon left his body. Then something scrabbled
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: across the floor and out of the room into the darkness,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: leaving claw marks on the wood floor. He was totally
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: and completely serious about this and how it cured him
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: and he didn't hurt things anymore. As any sane person
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: would do, I noped the f * * * right
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: out of that situation.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Yay men! I'm glad you noped out of that.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I'm really gonna hope this is someone just trolling you
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: on the internet because I just don't want to believe
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: that they were doing anything like that.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I just don't want to. How could you do that?
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: My HIV story.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: What?
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: I was on a trip on my first commercial flight
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: to visit my girlfriend and I didn't feel well. Once
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: I got off the plane, I made it to the
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: hotel and had bouts of nausea and diarrhea for a
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: few days straight when I finally decided to go to
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: a hospital.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Baby, that's my everyday.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: After waiting hours, I was let into a room and
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: sometime later, a woman wearing a mask.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: And gloves entered. Please leave the room, she told my girlfriend.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Let's call her Beatrice.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: No, she can stay.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: It's okay, I said.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: The doctor still hadn't looked at me, but looked back
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: to Beatrice.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: I think you should leave.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I looked to Beatrice and said, can you please wait outside?
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Right as the doctor closed the door, the doctor said,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: you have HIV. My mind instantly started racing, trying to
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: problem solve. I can't have AIDS. I got tested before
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: being with Beatrice.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I was clean, I said.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: The doctor again, you have HIV, while avoiding eye contact.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I looked at my palms for the first time in
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: my life. They were sweating, really sweating. I said again,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I can't. I've been tested. The doctor flipped a page
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: and asked my name, which I responded. And finally, the
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: doctor's contact made eyes with my own. I am so
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: sorry I have the wrong chart. You have strep throat
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: and laryngitis. I remember the world ending and then feeling
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: the most relief I've ever experienced in my life. When
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I told Beatrice the whole story, she awkwardly laughed and said,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: but you don't have AIDS, right? To this day, when
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: I tell people what happened, a good portion say, but
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: you don't have AIDS, right?
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: A whole lot of f * * * ing nope.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: A terrifying but true story I experienced when I was 12.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I moved to my.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Dad's when I was 10 and didn't know anyone in
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: the area except for the family my dad's was friends with.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: A single mom with three kids. Luckily, there was a
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: girl a couple years older than me. And we got
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: to know each other a little over a couple years.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: We weren't close, but ended up having the same friends.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: One night, my friend Rob was hanging out with her
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: and her younger brother. They happened to be in the
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: house alone because my friend's mom was at work. Which
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: is where this gets terrifying and sad. Her mother had
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: been helping this one lady through her work and had
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: gotten to know her fairly well. She found out her
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: sister was in a mental institution and was let out recently.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: The night Rob was hanging out with my friend, they
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: got a knock on the door. My friend thought it
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: was just their mom. She knocks a certain way when
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: coming in and answered it without thinking. Rob wasn't supposed
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: to be there and he took off through the window
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: to his house down the road. He never thought about
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: it twice. It wasn't her mom. It was the sister
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: of the lady her mom was helping. And she figured
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: out through talking to her sister where the family lived
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: and her mom's working schedule.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: She came in.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: And this is where I don't know details, but I'm
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: glad I don't. My friend's younger brother got away to
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: the neighbors to call the police. The lady brutally cancelled
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: my friend a week from Christmas. Deca- her and left
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: her body new kid in the bathtub and hit her
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: head they had to look through the presence and i
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: don't know where they found it but they did i
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: was not allowed to go to her funeral that reminds
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: me of the movie the visit if you're ever wondering
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: what movie scared me the most the visit i don't
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: know what it is about creepy old people but we're
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: all gonna be one Oh, I'm definitely gonna be a
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: creepy old person. I can't wait for that. That's horrifying. Ugh,
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: another school went great. In third grade, I had this
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: strange short teacher named Mrs.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Todd.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: She was always super nice to me in class. She'd
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: always call on me to do the activities first, compliment
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: me whenever I did anything, and was generally just very.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Positive towards me.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: At the time, I thought she was perhaps my favorite
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: person in the world. I remember even telling my mother
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: about how much I loved Mrs.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Todd.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Anyways, one day, I sat down at my desk and
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: opened it up to put crap in it, when shockingly,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: I saw there was a Victoria's Secret box. magazine sitting
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: in the pull-out drawer. The kid sitting next to me
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: noticed how shocked I was I thought I was going
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: to get in trouble and we started talking about how
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: it might have gotten in there. Almost immediately Mrs. Todd
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: walks up and asks, what have you got there? I
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: was seriously confused and I told her it was just
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: sitting in my desk when I got there this morning. Well,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: she looks at me and tells me that the kid
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: sitting next to me must.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Have put it in there.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: She kept repeating that statement over and over again, both
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: to him and me, until I finally admitted that I
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: guess he must have put it in there. Maybe a
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: few days after that, she approached me after class to
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: tell me about this special field trip I could go
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: on If I kept doing well in class, it would
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: be a trip with just her and I to the
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Gulf of Mexico for the weekend. I remember being really
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: excited about it at the time. However, suddenly she got
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: replaced at school and we got this new teacher that
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: didn't like me as much. I was so heartbroken at
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: the time. It's not until many years later I realized
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: how fucked up that situation was and it scares me
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: thinking about it.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Your teacher was grooming you.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the grooming session. Very, very glad nothing bad happened.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: So, so sorry.
• 19:46
