Speaker 1: discretion advised.
0:06
Speaker 2: In the middle of my turn, the man repeated himself
0:09
Speaker 2: squeezing the wheel again, and suddenly he grabbed the back
0:12
Speaker 2: of my neck hard with his hand, forcing me to
0:14
Speaker 2: lean down.
0:17
Speaker 3: There was a figure standing about a foot away from
0:20
Speaker 3: the window and the bare space between the shrubs and
0:22
Speaker 3: the house.
0:23
Speaker 4: They were staring at us.
0:26
Speaker 5: But when my back was turned, he pulled me down
0:28
Speaker 5: to the ground wrestled me till he was able to
0:31
Speaker 5: put me in a choke hold.
0:34
Speaker 6: From Disturbed Media, join your host Chad for true tales
0:39
Speaker 6: of horror, bizarre happenings, and unexplainable events.
0:44
Speaker 4: This is Disturbed.
1:12
Speaker 7: Welcome back in everyone, and thanks for joining me this week.
1:17
Speaker 7: I'm bringing you five true horrifying tales that will horrify
1:21
Speaker 7: and terrify. So sit back and listen close as we
1:26
Speaker 7: dive into the horror. We open the show hearing from
1:30
Speaker 7: Reddit user adept Mechanics seventy eighty three, featuring voice work
1:35
Speaker 7: by Stephen Brink.
1:41
Speaker 2: So just to detail before everything, this takes place during
1:44
Speaker 2: my mid twenties, and at the time I didn't know
1:47
Speaker 2: I had psyclothymia, So I didn't know how to regulate
1:50
Speaker 2: my mind, and my life was quite an emotional mess.
1:53
Speaker 2: It was the summer of twenty twenty and I was
1:55
Speaker 2: back in town after a long while. At the time,
1:58
Speaker 2: I was living in my grandmother's apartment for work related reasons,
2:01
Speaker 2: which was in the worst part of town. My friend
2:04
Speaker 2: was living ten minutes from my grandmother's place, so I
2:06
Speaker 2: used to see him often. We used to play video games,
2:09
Speaker 2: have long talks about life and the future, smoke pot,
2:13
Speaker 2: usual best friend stuff. That night, though, as I thought
2:16
Speaker 2: about going home around two in the morning, my friend
2:18
Speaker 2: told me at the end of a whiskey bottle and
2:20
Speaker 2: we could drink a glass to enjoy my return into town.
2:23
Speaker 2: We rolled up two cigarettes, poured two glasses, and went
2:26
Speaker 2: walking in the night around the lot in the park
2:29
Speaker 2: and just continued our discussion. As we were talking into
2:32
Speaker 2: a street lamp, we saw a car with a bunch
2:34
Speaker 2: of guys. They just passed the street, but we didn't
2:37
Speaker 2: think much about it. It was just a car passing by.
2:41
Speaker 2: After the glass and a cigarette, we decided to go
2:43
Speaker 2: back into the apartment. On the way, we saw two
2:45
Speaker 2: or three guys in the street passing us. One of them,
2:48
Speaker 2: exclaimed that's them, but seemed to look away behind us. Again,
2:53
Speaker 2: we didn't think too much and continued to walk. When
2:56
Speaker 2: we arrived, my friend said I could stay on the
2:58
Speaker 2: couch for the night because it was pretty late, but
3:00
Speaker 2: I knew I would be home in ten minutes by bike.
3:03
Speaker 2: Plus I didn't want to bother his roommates, so I
3:05
Speaker 2: said no. I added that I used to do this,
3:08
Speaker 2: so there was no problem and he shouldn't worry. Boy,
3:10
Speaker 2: was I wrong. I packed my stuff, said goodbye to
3:13
Speaker 2: my friend, put on my head, said rode towards my
3:16
Speaker 2: grandma's place. After one minute, I saw a sketchy guy
3:19
Speaker 2: on the road. I just put some distance and that
3:22
Speaker 2: was it. I turned to take the usual shortcut, a
3:25
Speaker 2: narrow path with a big rock at the entrance to
3:27
Speaker 2: avoid cars, to borrow the street. But this time there
3:30
Speaker 2: was a car stopped there, all doors open and engine on.
3:34
Speaker 2: Now it didn't surprise me too much because there was
3:37
Speaker 2: a lot of these in the neighborhood. Silly as I was,
3:40
Speaker 2: I just assumed it was in the way these groups
3:42
Speaker 2: hung out together, smoking pod music blasting out of these
3:45
Speaker 2: open cars. It was something I was used to seeing
3:47
Speaker 2: every night. In the environment I was living in at
3:50
Speaker 2: the time. The thing is the path being too narrow.
3:53
Speaker 2: I couldn't just pass by speeding on my bike, so
3:56
Speaker 2: I got off the bike and started walking by, only
3:58
Speaker 2: to jump back a few meals further and right again.
4:02
Speaker 2: When I was a few meters further from the car,
4:04
Speaker 2: a man appeared from the complete darkness with a disturbing
4:07
Speaker 2: grin on his face. I realized there was at least
4:10
Speaker 2: three other guys behind me, just standing there watching. The
4:15
Speaker 2: guy came just in front of me, squeezing my front
4:17
Speaker 2: wheel between his legs, silent, staring at me with his
4:22
Speaker 2: disturbing smile. My brain was unalert, but I was feeling
4:26
Speaker 2: slow and hazy because of the substances I had in
4:28
Speaker 2: my system. I rolled the bike back and started to
4:31
Speaker 2: turn back, saying something like okay, I got it. In
4:35
Speaker 2: the middle of my turn, the man repeated himself, squeezing
4:38
Speaker 2: the wheel again, and suddenly he grabbed the back of
4:41
Speaker 2: my neck hard with his hand, forcing me to lean down.
4:44
Speaker 2: Now I knew I was in real shitty situation here.
4:48
Speaker 2: He was making fun of me, saying this to his friends.
4:50
Speaker 2: Oh what am I gonna do? What am I gonna
4:53
Speaker 2: do now and laughing, just so you know how this
4:57
Speaker 2: is hilariously stupid. People usually say I look like a
5:01
Speaker 2: nice and chill guy, and I got round glasses. That
5:04
Speaker 2: guy was a rather muscular, shirtless and full of bad
5:08
Speaker 2: hash and cocaine. At some point I managed to free
5:11
Speaker 2: myself from his grip and took a few steps back
5:14
Speaker 2: and turned. I was now facing back to him, and
5:17
Speaker 2: that's when he threw a punch at the side of
5:18
Speaker 2: my head. White flash. I fell on the ground, headfirst
5:23
Speaker 2: on my back. I was hyperventilated and in a state
5:26
Speaker 2: of shock. He started to search in my pockets and bag,
5:30
Speaker 2: took my phone, headset, papers, everything I had on me.
5:34
Speaker 2: I heard the voice of a girl saying enough, leave
5:37
Speaker 2: him alone, but he didn't pay attention as he was
5:40
Speaker 2: going through my papers. She obviously knew him and was
5:42
Speaker 2: part of the group lying down on the road. I
5:45
Speaker 2: was paralyzed in fear. I remember I was afraid to
5:49
Speaker 2: draw attension on me if I tried to stand up.
5:51
Speaker 2: Also that I was afraid he would just beat me
5:53
Speaker 2: up and break my arms and legs or roll me
5:56
Speaker 2: over if they decided to go. As the scene took
5:58
Speaker 2: place just near the back of the car, but apparently
6:00
Speaker 2: they were more interested in my belongings. I decided to
6:04
Speaker 2: stand up. The girl standing near the guy looked at
6:06
Speaker 2: me and said, you need to go now. So I
6:09
Speaker 2: took my bike and started to walk away. The other
6:12
Speaker 2: guys were around watching a complete silence. Suddenly I heard
6:16
Speaker 2: the man screaming, I'm gonna kill you, bitch. Terrified, I
6:21
Speaker 2: threw the bike and started to sprint toward my friend's flat.
6:24
Speaker 2: I heard him run behind me on almost the whole
6:26
Speaker 2: street before he gave up. I never ran that fast,
6:29
Speaker 2: even in sports class. I knocked at my friend's door.
6:32
Speaker 2: I couldn't breathe. He opened, sat me down, called the police,
6:36
Speaker 2: and gave me a huge glass of water. I woke
6:39
Speaker 2: up his room mate. He appeared more annoyed by all
6:41
Speaker 2: the noise and the fact that I could have led
6:43
Speaker 2: these men to the apartment more than anything else. I
6:45
Speaker 2: finally slept on the couch. This is not even the
6:48
Speaker 2: end of the nightmare. The next day, around noon, I
6:52
Speaker 2: called my friend, asking him to help me to try
6:54
Speaker 2: to search for anything they could have left behind. We
6:57
Speaker 2: met at the scene. I found back my now empty wall,
7:00
Speaker 2: and he found a little satchet full of cocaine. I
7:03
Speaker 2: also found a dead crow. On my way back, I
7:06
Speaker 2: noticed a car similar to the one of the last
7:08
Speaker 2: night in a street nearby. It wasn't moving, the engine
7:12
Speaker 2: was on. Didn't want to care. It was bright daylight
7:15
Speaker 2: and I was going home to sleep. When I arrived
7:17
Speaker 2: in the parking lot at my grandma's place, I heard
7:20
Speaker 2: a car honking. I turned back that same car I
7:23
Speaker 2: saw earlier. It stopped in the middle of the empty road.
7:27
Speaker 2: The men were throwing me a killer look, screeching tires,
7:31
Speaker 2: and they were gone in a second. Now I was
7:34
Speaker 2: paranoid on top of it all. Walked to the doors,
7:37
Speaker 2: looked all around to see if anyone was watching me.
7:40
Speaker 2: I removed my name from the letterboxes and went inside.
7:43
Speaker 2: That night, I laid in bed with a butcher knife
7:45
Speaker 2: under my pillow. They had all the information about me.
7:48
Speaker 2: I was terrified they would come back at night hurt
7:51
Speaker 2: my grandmother. The next day, I headed back to my
7:54
Speaker 2: parents in the countryside. Again, this is not even the end.
7:58
Speaker 2: My mother found me a psychoanaly near their home in
8:01
Speaker 2: a small village. I went there and he started to
8:03
Speaker 2: ask me about my bad childhood. I remembered. I thought
8:07
Speaker 2: something was off when he started to say things like God,
8:10
Speaker 2: your childhood was not easy at all and personal remarks
8:13
Speaker 2: on my life. I thought it wasn't part of their job.
8:17
Speaker 2: This was the first red flag, But the worst happened
8:19
Speaker 2: after I told him what happened to me the other night.
8:23
Speaker 2: He told me that these people spread all the information
8:25
Speaker 2: about me all around the town, that I was now
8:27
Speaker 2: their milking cow and their easy target, and if I
8:31
Speaker 2: showed up in town again, I should be very careful
8:33
Speaker 2: because they would know me. He added, They probably assumed
8:37
Speaker 2: that we were a gay couple and that's the reason
8:39
Speaker 2: he wanted to beat me up. Just before I leave,
8:42
Speaker 2: he told me that he would like to talk about
8:44
Speaker 2: the interesting way I dress and what I wanted to
8:47
Speaker 2: communicate with my different style. I was even more shocked
8:51
Speaker 2: and completely paranoid after that. For no reason, the town's
8:55
Speaker 2: bicycle agency refused to take the police report about the
8:58
Speaker 2: bike theft, so I had to pay the full penalty,
9:01
Speaker 2: also had to repay all my IDs and cards, the
9:04
Speaker 2: psychoanalyst bills. I ended up paying almost a thousand euros
9:08
Speaker 2: for everything. I lived reclused for two years in my
9:12
Speaker 2: parents' house in the countryside, feeling highly depressed. I felt
9:16
Speaker 2: no one would understand my distress and no one would
9:19
Speaker 2: try to help me. At that moment, I felt alone.
9:22
Speaker 2: What still disturbs me to this day is the fact
9:24
Speaker 2: that even after he mugged me and had all my possessions,
9:27
Speaker 2: he still wanted to beat me up only for sadistic pleasure.
9:31
Speaker 2: I'm so glad I have good legs now. I often
9:34
Speaker 2: have the PTSDs when I try to sleep, and also
9:37
Speaker 2: a lot of anger and feeling of injustice inside. So
9:40
Speaker 2: to that psycho bastard full of cocaine, the silent group
9:44
Speaker 2: around him, and that twisted psychoanalysis that made me flip
9:47
Speaker 2: into paranoia. Fuck you and let's not meet again.

Speaker 4: Up.
10:23
Speaker 7: Next, we hear from Reddit user tall Pale and Met,
10:26
Speaker 7: featuring voice work by Matt Bradford.
10:31
Speaker 3: My wife and I recently purchased our first home after
10:34
Speaker 3: the birth of our daughter. Everything was as you would
10:36
Speaker 3: expect in the first few months, painting, decorating, renovating, basking
10:40
Speaker 3: in our newfound slice of the American dream. But unusual
10:44
Speaker 3: thing started happening several months ago. One day, I was
10:47
Speaker 3: getting home after work and I passed a strange truck
10:50
Speaker 3: two or three houses down the road from ours.
10:52
Speaker 4: And I say strange for a few reasons.
10:55
Speaker 3: We know literally everyone in our small neighborhood, and I've
10:57
Speaker 3: never seen this truck or person before. There's no reason
11:00
Speaker 3: for through traffic to come down our street. And the
11:02
Speaker 3: truck was driving very slowly, like put it in drive,
11:06
Speaker 3: but don't press on the gas slowly. As I pulled
11:09
Speaker 3: into the driveway, the truck flipped to U turn and
11:11
Speaker 3: came back towards my house. Getting out of my car,
11:15
Speaker 3: the truck crawled by and the driver just stared daggers
11:18
Speaker 3: at me as he passed. I don't like to judge
11:20
Speaker 3: anyone based on appearances, and I like to think that
11:22
Speaker 3: I don't scariesily, but something about this guy's eyes gave
11:26
Speaker 3: me a bad feeling.
11:28
Speaker 4: Obviously, this was weird.
11:30
Speaker 3: I mentioned what happened to my wife, telling her we
11:32
Speaker 3: should be more mindful about security, and when I told
11:35
Speaker 3: her the type of truck, my wife said that same
11:37
Speaker 3: truck drove by me, and the guy stared at me
11:39
Speaker 3: when I got home this afternoon, and I thought he
11:41
Speaker 3: was just being creepy and checking me out. I tried
11:44
Speaker 3: to tease her a bit to lighten the mood, calling
11:47
Speaker 3: her cocky for assuming any guy driving by was checking
11:50
Speaker 3: her out. I didn't want to freak her out, but
11:52
Speaker 3: I was definitely freaked out. And he saw the truck
11:55
Speaker 3: a few more times over the next couple of weeks,
11:57
Speaker 3: either driving by slowly or parked on the lock and
12:00
Speaker 3: facing our yard. One day, the truck just stopped driving by.
12:04
Speaker 3: We haven't seen it since.
12:06
Speaker 4: I sort of.
12:07
Speaker 3: Dismissed the whole thing as me being paranoid. Then other
12:11
Speaker 3: things started happening. In the past month or so. My
12:14
Speaker 3: wife and I have been hearing tapping on the windows
12:16
Speaker 3: at the front of our house at night. It's happened
12:18
Speaker 3: two or three times to each of us separately, always
12:21
Speaker 3: around ten or eleven PM, and always a soft but
12:24
Speaker 3: distinct tap tap to tap. I mean it sounds like knocking,
12:29
Speaker 3: but with a single knuckle on the metal part of
12:31
Speaker 3: a screen door, if that makes sense. The first time
12:34
Speaker 3: that my wife and I heard the tapping together was
12:36
Speaker 3: last weekend. When we were in the front room playing
12:39
Speaker 3: with our daughter at around nine point thirty, just about
12:41
Speaker 3: to settle or down for bed. Our front room has
12:44
Speaker 3: a large, almost floor to ceiling window running the length
12:47
Speaker 3: of the wall next to the front door, which faces
12:49
Speaker 3: the street. We were all sitting on the floor with
12:51
Speaker 3: our backs to the window, reading our daughter a book
12:54
Speaker 3: when we heard.
12:55
Speaker 4: It, tap tap tap tap.
12:58
Speaker 3: Now our house is older, creeks and cracks are not uncommon.
13:02
Speaker 4: This sound was so distinctly intentional.
13:05
Speaker 3: I had my wife and daughter locked themselves in a
13:07
Speaker 3: back room while I turned on all the lights and
13:10
Speaker 3: did a sweep around the outside of the house. Of course,
13:13
Speaker 3: I didn't see anything, and I was ready to dismiss
13:15
Speaker 3: the whole thing as more paranoia over something that probably
13:18
Speaker 3: had an innocent explanation.
13:20
Speaker 4: Until last night, around nine.
13:22
Speaker 3: Forty five, we heard our daughter making noises in the
13:25
Speaker 3: baby monitor. I waited a few minutes to see if
13:28
Speaker 3: she would settle down. When it became clear she wouldn't,
13:32
Speaker 3: I got up to put her back to sleep. The
13:35
Speaker 3: layout of the room is important to visualize this next party.
13:38
Speaker 4: See.
13:38
Speaker 3: The room is on the side of our house, but
13:40
Speaker 3: the exterior wall juts out a bit in an L shape,
13:42
Speaker 3: and the corner of this L is made up of windows,
13:45
Speaker 3: so if you're standing in the door to the room,
13:47
Speaker 3: you're directly across from these windows in one corner, and
13:50
Speaker 3: there's a rocking chair in the other corner, pointed toward
13:53
Speaker 3: the front of the house, and one window faces the
13:55
Speaker 3: street and the other faces our neighbor's house. A garden
13:58
Speaker 3: bed planted with small shrubs wraps around the outside of
14:01
Speaker 3: the house directly underneath. I was sitting in the chair
14:04
Speaker 3: getting my daughter settled down. I had a lamp on
14:07
Speaker 3: so the room was softly lit. When she fell asleep,
14:10
Speaker 3: I stood up to put her in her crib when
14:12
Speaker 3: something caught my eye. There was a figure standing about
14:16
Speaker 3: a foot away from the window and the bare space
14:19
Speaker 3: between the shrubs.
14:20
Speaker 4: And the house. They were staring at us.
14:23
Speaker 3: I didn't look long enough to see anything more than
14:26
Speaker 3: what appeared to be a man in a light gray
14:28
Speaker 3: hoodie standing a few feet away on the other side
14:30
Speaker 3: of the glass, sprinting from the room. I brought my
14:33
Speaker 3: daughter back to my wife and I his bedroom, leaving
14:35
Speaker 3: her there while telling my understandably confused wife to lock
14:38
Speaker 3: the door. After turning on all the lights inside the
14:41
Speaker 3: house and turning on all the lights outside. I began
14:44
Speaker 3: moving from room to room but peering out of the
14:47
Speaker 3: windows into the darkness. I couldn't see anything out of
14:50
Speaker 3: the ordinary. Whoever it was must have taken off orter
14:54
Speaker 3: seeing me notice them and make a quick excit. Obviously,
14:57
Speaker 3: I had some trouble sleeping after this, and I spent
15:00
Speaker 3: hours checking security cameras and going from room to room
15:03
Speaker 3: looking out windows into the night, hoping but also not
15:07
Speaker 3: hoping that I would see anything that could explain what happened.
15:10
Speaker 3: This morning, I went outside to the spot where the
15:13
Speaker 3: figure would have been standing. I thought, hoped maybe there
15:17
Speaker 3: was a plant or something that I mistook for a person.
15:20
Speaker 3: When I got to the spot, I realized the figure
15:23
Speaker 3: had to be standing exactly in a bare patch of
15:25
Speaker 3: ground about two feet in diameter, directly in front of
15:28
Speaker 3: that window.
15:29
Speaker 4: Part of me is still hoping that I'm being paranoid.
15:32
Speaker 3: The mine can play tricks on you in the dark,
15:34
Speaker 3: seeing things that aren't there, especially when you're a sleep
15:36
Speaker 3: deprived new parent. But with everything that's been happening, I
15:40
Speaker 3: can't shake the feeling there was actually someone out there
15:43
Speaker 3: last night watching us.
15:45
Speaker 4: Please let me be wrong.
15:55
Speaker 8: My Chad didn't ever want to Disturbed team. I just
15:57
Speaker 8: wanted to leave a voicemail saying that I absolutely love
16:00
Speaker 8: the show. I started listening about it over a year ago.
16:04
Speaker 8: I don't remember how many episodes you had at that time,
16:07
Speaker 8: but I remember specifically trying not to binge through all
16:11
Speaker 8: of that because I wanted to have you back up
16:13
Speaker 8: episodes listen to. But I couldn't help myself. It was
16:16
Speaker 8: so good. I love true stories, especially you know true
16:20
Speaker 8: by creepy scary stories about creatures and stuff like that. Yeah,
16:24
Speaker 8: now every Thursday I look forward to a new episode
16:27
Speaker 8: and I love listening to it on my drive home homework.
16:29
Speaker 8: But anyway, keep up the good work, and you guys
16:31
Speaker 8: are doing a great stuff. Thanks.
16:37
Speaker 6: Do you have your own terrifying encounter?
16:40
Speaker 4: Did something unexplained happen to you? Let us know and
16:44
Speaker 4: get featured on the podcast.

16:53
Speaker 7: Up next, we check in with redit user Funny Likes
16:56
Speaker 7: twenty forty three, featuring voice work by Sarah thomas Us.
17:05
Speaker 1: On June third, twenty sixteen, I had a social media event.
17:09
Speaker 1: I was an Instagram influencer and the event was a
17:11
Speaker 1: golf tournament, I posted on social to ask followers to come.
17:15
Speaker 1: When he showed up, it didn't surprise me. Sure the
17:19
Speaker 1: tickets were two hundred and fifty dollars, but for some
17:22
Speaker 1: reason that didn't click with me. It was a drinking
17:25
Speaker 1: event as well, and he showed up at least tipsy
17:28
Speaker 1: but having a good time. He was also an Instagram
17:32
Speaker 1: model who I knew online. He asked me out on
17:35
Speaker 1: a date for after the tournament. I was a single
17:37
Speaker 1: mom and because of the event, my parents were watching
17:40
Speaker 1: the kid until the next day. I said sure. We
17:44
Speaker 1: went off on the date, went to a bar and
17:46
Speaker 1: grabbed food. The man was handsome, but mostly charming as heck.
17:51
Speaker 1: We had a beer, and then in his car he
17:53
Speaker 1: offered me some weed. I rarely smoke, but decided what
17:57
Speaker 1: the heck. We hot boxed. Then he went off to
18:00
Speaker 1: a bar. He was friendly with everyone and made me
18:03
Speaker 1: laugh quite a few times. Then off to the liquor
18:06
Speaker 1: store for more alcohol, and finally.
18:08
Speaker 9: To his house.
18:10
Speaker 1: I was drunk and high, so it was easy to
18:13
Speaker 1: sleep with me. He had a bunk bed, and I
18:16
Speaker 1: remember him being on top and being very selfish and
18:19
Speaker 1: aggressive and being scared. I didn't stop him out of fear.
18:24
Speaker 1: He had driven and my car was still at the
18:26
Speaker 1: golf tournament location and we were far too far from
18:30
Speaker 1: me to afford an uber back to my car. The
18:32
Speaker 1: next morning, I went to the restroom and afterward noticed
18:36
Speaker 1: a long pipe coming from the toilet after I flushed.
18:39
Speaker 1: He came out upset because it was to water the
18:42
Speaker 1: weed him and his roommate were growing. I didn't know,
18:46
Speaker 1: or was too drunk, and Hie still for it to click.
18:50
Speaker 1: I apologized deeply, and I was scared. We came downstairs
18:55
Speaker 1: and I looked at the walls and decor for the
18:57
Speaker 1: first time. Knives and weapons were used as decorations all
19:02
Speaker 1: over the house. I waited for him to have breakfast
19:05
Speaker 1: and drive me back to my car, trying not to
19:08
Speaker 1: show panic. In the car, I knew I needed an
19:12
Speaker 1: excuse that wouldn't hurt his feelings. I told him I
19:15
Speaker 1: had a blast, and I'm so bummed because I really
19:19
Speaker 1: like him, but my child's father passed away when he
19:22
Speaker 1: was one true, and I can't have CPS take him
19:26
Speaker 1: away because I'm around someone growing weed. I told him
19:29
Speaker 1: I didn't care about the weed and didn't want him
19:31
Speaker 1: to change, so it really was a bummer. I let
19:36
Speaker 1: him make out with me one last time as he
19:38
Speaker 1: dropped me off at the golf place. I was shaking
19:41
Speaker 1: as he drove off because of the vibes I caught
19:44
Speaker 1: from him. The very next day after he dropped me off,
19:49
Speaker 1: he met a girl that was ten years our junior
19:52
Speaker 1: and an eighteen year old mini me. He dated her
19:55
Speaker 1: for three weeks. She dumped him, and he stalked her
19:59
Speaker 1: like crazy, so much so he was arrested a few times.
20:04
Speaker 1: In September of the same year, he gets out of
20:06
Speaker 1: jail one last time and heads to a bar. Meets
20:09
Speaker 1: a girl there and takes her home. He ends up
20:13
Speaker 1: murdering her, chopping up her body, cutting her heart out,
20:17
Speaker 1: and setting it on fire. He's currently serving life for
20:21
Speaker 1: his crime, and I get flashbacks all the time.
20:42
Speaker 5: You're listening to Disturbed. Now back to the horror.
20:49
Speaker 7: Next up, we check in with Reddit user bumble Queen
20:52
Speaker 7: four twenty featuring voice work by Tanya eb.
21:00
Speaker 5: This is my first Reddit post and it's gonna be heavy.
21:04
Speaker 5: It's going to contain mentions of physical and mental abuse.
21:07
Speaker 5: So this is a tw for everyone. I eighteen female
21:12
Speaker 5: met my ex male twenty two in February of twenty twenty,
21:16
Speaker 5: but didn't end up dating him till closer to my
21:18
Speaker 5: seventeenth birthday because he still lived with his girlfriend. He
21:22
Speaker 5: told me they were just friends and he didn't like
21:25
Speaker 5: her like that, and I didn't find out later that
21:28
Speaker 5: they were actually still doing things together. And meeting him
21:32
Speaker 5: was the biggest mistake of my life. Everything started off great,
21:37
Speaker 5: as every relationship goes. I sent picks because he was
21:40
Speaker 5: my boyfriend, so you know, and of course I let
21:43
Speaker 5: him save them for later. Use another big mistake. I
21:48
Speaker 5: noticed that they were still texting, and when went through
21:51
Speaker 5: his phone, he was saying he still loved her and
21:54
Speaker 5: missed her. I was deeply hurt and called him out
21:56
Speaker 5: on it. He apologized and said it would never happen again,
22:00
Speaker 5: and I told him to text her that we were dating,
22:03
Speaker 5: and he did. She was pissed. She stopped paying for
22:09
Speaker 5: the house and helping him with car payments, and at
22:12
Speaker 5: this time, he had quit Taco Bell and refused to
22:15
Speaker 5: do his new job Ubering because I need to practice
22:18
Speaker 5: League of Legends because I want to be a pro
22:20
Speaker 5: league streamer. So I worked my ass off and ended
22:23
Speaker 5: up losing my job because the manager didn't let me
22:26
Speaker 5: work without a doctor's note, so I was stuck working
22:29
Speaker 5: his job while he played his games. Before I met him,
22:33
Speaker 5: I had four and a half thousand dollars in my savings.
22:37
Speaker 5: He ended up using my card to pay his phone bills,
22:39
Speaker 5: car payments, the apartment, daily weed, fast food, new league accounts,
22:44
Speaker 5: and fucking csgo knives. But the worst was yet to happen.
22:50
Speaker 5: I found that he was using an old tablet to
22:53
Speaker 5: excessively watch porn, set updating accounts, and have different Instagram accounts,
22:58
Speaker 5: but on these accounts he was pretending to be women.
23:02
Speaker 5: I called him out about this and told him I
23:04
Speaker 5: wanted to leave. He freaks out, jumping around and screaming
23:08
Speaker 5: and crying, saying he would change, and I trusted him.
23:12
Speaker 5: Why as time went on, things got worse and I
23:17
Speaker 5: was scared to leave. And by the end of this
23:19
Speaker 5: you will see why. He had shoved me into a
23:22
Speaker 5: wall and getting into my face, screaming, you stole my
23:25
Speaker 5: car key because you didn't want me to work, because
23:27
Speaker 5: you're jealous of other girls, which was stupid because he
23:31
Speaker 5: had thrown his car keys at me during a different argument.
23:35
Speaker 5: But one day I went through the iPad and found
23:37
Speaker 5: that he was actively not just sending, but selling my
23:41
Speaker 5: pictures from when I was sixteen and seventeen, and doing
23:45
Speaker 5: the same with his other ex. I started to try
23:48
Speaker 5: to get my stuff together and put gorilla glue in
23:50
Speaker 5: the charging port to just get rid of the filth
23:53
Speaker 5: I just saw. When he found out that it no
23:56
Speaker 5: longer charged after he used my card to get us food,
23:59
Speaker 5: he was livid. He started screaming and getting in my face.
24:05
Speaker 5: I tried to go around him and grab my things,
24:08
Speaker 5: but when my back was turned, he pulled me down
24:10
Speaker 5: to the ground wrestled me till he was able to
24:13
Speaker 5: put me in a choke hold. I was sobbing and
24:16
Speaker 5: just accepted that this would be the end. But before
24:19
Speaker 5: I backed out, he let me go and I started
24:22
Speaker 5: gasping for air and gagging from excessive coughing as he
24:26
Speaker 5: just stood and laughed at me. I tried to crawl
24:29
Speaker 5: away from him when he grabbed my leg and started
24:32
Speaker 5: dragging me out of the apartment. I kicked to try
24:35
Speaker 5: to get him off, which just made him pull me
24:37
Speaker 5: like a dog playing tug of war. He eventually dragged
24:41
Speaker 5: me out, keeping my wallet, keys, and all of my
24:44
Speaker 5: valuables so I sat crying, begging for my stuff so
24:48
Speaker 5: I could just go home. He came outside and pulled
24:52
Speaker 5: me down the apartment stairs by my leg and I
24:54
Speaker 5: was left with extreme bruising and some cuts. I did
24:58
Speaker 5: end up calling the police and they did absolutely nothing.
25:03
Speaker 5: Fast forward, he had to move because he had nowhere
25:05
Speaker 5: to stay or live after getting evicted from the apartment,
25:08
Speaker 5: and I had gotten a new job. One day, it
25:11
Speaker 5: was particularly cold and I went to get a shirt
25:14
Speaker 5: out of my car and there he was. BM was
25:17
Speaker 5: sitting in my car on his phone. I left the
25:20
Speaker 5: door unlocked, usually because I worked in a good area.
25:23
Speaker 5: I called him a cheater and told him to leave.
25:25
Speaker 5: He got out of the car and was starting to
25:27
Speaker 5: go around the back, so I jumped in and tried
25:29
Speaker 5: to lock the door from the back seat. He ran
25:32
Speaker 5: over and pulled the door open and started trying to
25:34
Speaker 5: pull me out of the car. I started screaming and
25:37
Speaker 5: kicking at him. Thankfully, a customer saw this happening and
25:40
Speaker 5: called the police. They arrested him and told me to
25:44
Speaker 5: go home for the night, which they ended up firing
25:47
Speaker 5: me for. Unfortunately, he got bailed out and while he
25:52
Speaker 5: was in jail, he had given out my phone number
25:54
Speaker 5: to other people there. He walked four and a half
25:58
Speaker 5: hours to my house after he was relieved and was
26:00
Speaker 5: looking around my backyard when my neighbor saw him and
26:03
Speaker 5: called my dad. My dad got in his truck with
26:06
Speaker 5: his gun and waited for him to come out of
26:08
Speaker 5: the gas station. He eventually did, but ran off. He
26:12
Speaker 5: wasn't shot. He had harassed me saying that he was
26:16
Speaker 5: going to show up to my graduation and ruin everything,
26:19
Speaker 5: and has gotten to the point making multiple fake accounts
26:21
Speaker 5: on Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok pretending to be me and
26:26
Speaker 5: his other exes, and as of today, he still pretends
26:30
Speaker 5: to be high school girls, selling our pictures and making
26:34
Speaker 5: fake accounts.

27:10
Speaker 7: email submission featuring voicework by Denuda Marie.
27:19
Speaker 10: I'm a middle school teacher. I have never had any
27:22
Speaker 10: experiences in my three year career as an educator that
27:25
Speaker 10: has shook me to the core as much as this one.
27:29
Speaker 10: I think what made this experience more horrifying was that
27:32
Speaker 10: this lockdown happened a week after the Uvedale school shooting.
27:36
Speaker 10: The majority of the staff at my school felt something
27:39
Speaker 10: after hearing what happened in Uvedale, whether that be anger, grief,
27:43
Speaker 10: or fear that could have been us. This happened on
27:47
Speaker 10: the last day of the twenty twenty to twenty twenty
27:50
Speaker 10: one school year. The school was scheduled to have a
27:53
Speaker 10: field day. Of course, all the students were really excited
27:56
Speaker 10: to spend the whole day outside competing with their friends.
28:00
Speaker 10: School started and all students were walking to their classrooms
28:03
Speaker 10: at eight thirty and were seated by eight thirty five am.
28:06
Speaker 10: It was a morning like every other. My homeroom students
28:09
Speaker 10: were eating their breakfast listening to me giving the rundown
28:12
Speaker 10: of the day. As I was telling the students where
28:15
Speaker 10: they need to be for field day, the intercom came on,
28:18
Speaker 10: blaring the alarm which screamed lockdown.
28:21
Speaker 5: All my students and.
28:22
Speaker 10: I looked at the intercom confused a lockdown drill on
28:26
Speaker 10: the last day of school. To give a bit of
28:28
Speaker 10: context on why I thought it was a drill, we
28:31
Speaker 10: teachers were told that we had to have a lockdown
28:34
Speaker 10: drill for the month. Since we didn't have one yet,
28:37
Speaker 10: I let out shit under my breath. I left the
28:40
Speaker 10: keys to my classroom in my backpack all the way
28:42
Speaker 10: on the other side of the room. I rushed to
28:44
Speaker 10: get my keys from my backpack, killed the lights, and
28:46
Speaker 10: locked the door. I let my students stay in their seats.
28:50
Speaker 10: Luckily they were silent and keeping each other silent. As
28:53
Speaker 10: I was walking back to my desk from the door,
28:55
Speaker 10: the door was all the way to the left, while
28:57
Speaker 10: my desk was all the way to the right of
28:59
Speaker 10: the room. I heard the door handle jiggle then open.
29:02
Speaker 10: Two women whom I recognized worked in the cafeteria came
29:05
Speaker 10: rushing into the room without locking the door behind them.
29:08
Speaker 10: Annoyed because they didn't lock the door, and confused that
29:11
Speaker 10: they came into the room, I went back to the
29:12
Speaker 10: door and locked it. I checked my phone to see
29:15
Speaker 10: my coworkers have already blown up our group chat. We
29:18
Speaker 10: were all asking the same question, is this a drill?
29:21
Speaker 10: Have any of you heard from any admin yet?
29:24
Speaker 5: What's going on?
29:25
Speaker 10: When all of a sudden, the veteran teacher in our
29:28
Speaker 10: group texted this is not a drill. Barricade your doors now.
29:33
Speaker 10: My heart instantly dropped, my blood ran cold. I was
29:38
Speaker 10: in complete disbelief on what I read that I had
29:40
Speaker 10: to reread the message again. I looked up from my
29:42
Speaker 10: phone to look at my classroom. Tears welled up in
29:45
Speaker 10: my eyes. I took a deep breath. This is it,
29:49
Speaker 10: the moment every teacher fears. I shook my head and
29:53
Speaker 10: walked quietly to my desk to grab the scissors. I
29:55
Speaker 10: didn't want my students to panic, so I didn't barricade
29:58
Speaker 10: my doors. I stood by the door, scissors in hand, ready,
30:02
Speaker 10: just in case. Unfortunately, my door was the one nearest
30:06
Speaker 10: to the entrance, so all these scenarios began running through
30:09
Speaker 10: my head. If anyone came through the door, I would fight.
30:13
Speaker 10: My phone was blowing up again with messages, but not
30:16
Speaker 10: from teachers. My best friend was messaging me. Her sister,
30:20
Speaker 10: who is also a student where I work, was messaging
30:22
Speaker 10: her saying she loves my best friend. The sister also
30:26
Speaker 10: texted her saying that she heard there was someone in
30:28
Speaker 10: the school parking lot with a weapon, presumably a gun.
30:31
Speaker 10: She wasn't sure if that person came in. My best
30:35
Speaker 10: friend worried about what her sister told her and messaged
30:37
Speaker 10: me since maybe I knew a bit more about the situation.
30:40
Speaker 10: I replied back, telling her that I wasn't sure what
30:43
Speaker 10: was happening, but the lockdown was real. That's when she
30:46
Speaker 10: started to fill my inbox with I love you, Please
30:48
Speaker 10: come back home safe. No, you and my sister need
30:51
Speaker 10: to come back home safe and sound. I almost wept
30:54
Speaker 10: when I saw those messages, but I knew that if
30:56
Speaker 10: I wasn't calm, my students were going to freak out.
31:00
Speaker 10: I wasn't sure how long that lockdown was. I later
31:03
Speaker 10: found out it was fifty minutes, but it felt like
31:05
Speaker 10: an eternity. We got a message that we were clear,
31:08
Speaker 10: but had to keep the doors locked until the police
31:11
Speaker 10: came to sweep the school. I turned on the lights
31:13
Speaker 10: and took a seat. I had to clear my mind.
31:16
Speaker 10: I looked down at my hands and noticed I was trembling.
31:19
Speaker 10: I guess the adrenaline was wearing off. A lot of
31:22
Speaker 10: my students began speaking amongst themselves, hugging and crying. Of course,
31:26
Speaker 10: due to the situation, the students were dismissed early, but
31:30
Speaker 10: I cannot stress the look in all my colleague's eyes.
31:33
Speaker 10: We all looked so shaken up. Many were already in tears.
31:37
Speaker 10: All staff was gathered together in the cafeteria and were
31:40
Speaker 10: dismissed early. We all hugged and cried before we left
31:43
Speaker 10: for home. We thought we were next. This has been,
31:48
Speaker 10: tops down one of the most horrifying experiences in my life.
31:52
Speaker 10: I don't wish this type of fear on anyone.
