• 0:52
  Speaker 1: On the evening of December twentieth, twenty twenty two, a
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: young woman named Moon Suho, along with her boyfriend whose
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: name was Lee Kee Young, sat at a table at
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: a Korean barbecue restaurant in northern Seoul, which is the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: capital city of South Korea. The couple didn't even have
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: any food yet, but Moon was not even looking at
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the menu. Instead, she was excitedly checking her watch waiting
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: for her parents to arrive. This dinner was a very
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: special occasion for Moon because she had been dating Lee
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: for several months now and she was totally in love
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: with him, but she had not introduced him to her
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: parents yet, and so Lee had surprised her with reservations
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to this restaurant tonight for four people. He had invited
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: her parents to come to the dinner so they could
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: all finally meet. Moon looked across the table at Lee
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and she smiled because she knew as soon as her
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: parents saw the sky, they were going to be impressed.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Lee was a thirty two year old army veteran with
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: lots of crazy stories from his time in the military.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: He was also exceptionally good looking. He was very well educated,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and he came from a family that was extremely successful
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and very wealthy. Lee's grandfather owned the high rise building
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that Lee was staying in. I mean, this family was
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: very influential and powerful in South Korea. But Lee was
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: not full of himself. He was very humble. He was
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: kind and polite, and he had a total soft spot
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: for little animals. He had adopted a dog and three
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: cats and adored them. I mean, this was a guy
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: who was kind of like the total package that any
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: parent would be psyched that their daughter was dating. After
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Moon and Lee had been sitting at this table for
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes, Moon looked up and she saw her
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: parents finally coming in the door, and so Moon she
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: stood up and she waved to her parents and flagged
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: them over to the table, and so they came over.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: They said hi to Lee, and right away Lee he
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: picked up the menu and he ordered all these very
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: expensive drinks and all the expensive meats on the menu,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and then before long, Lee was chatting with Moon's father
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: about his military service, and then Lee was talking to
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Moon's mother and showing her pictures of his dog and
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: his three cats, and Moon she was just sitting back
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: enjoying watching this because she could see from her parents'
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: facial expressions that they seemed to really like Lee too,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: And so this night was going as good as it
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: could have. Moon and Lee and Moon's parents stayed at
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: this restaurant for at least two hours, just enjoying each
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: other's company and throwing back a lot of drinks and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: eating expensive food. And by the end of the night,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: when the parents got up to leave, they were like
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: hugging Lee and slapping him on the back and telling
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: him how great he was, and Lee was doing the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: same thing to the parents. It was like, really they
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: had hit it off. But after Moon's parents were gone,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Moon and Lee they left the restaurant too, and they
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: began walking across the street towards the parking garage where
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Lee had parked, and right away Moon could tell Lee
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: was actually pretty drunk. She had not noticed it in
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the restaurant, but now she could see Lee was kind
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: of stumbling a little bit. But Moon wasn't upset about this.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: If anything, she just thought, wow, he was so composed
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: talking to my parents in there, despite obviously being drunk.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: He had just managed to mask it really, really well.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: But despite how impressed she was with her boyfriend, Moon
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: didn't want Lee to drive them home. It seemed like
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that would be really unsafe to do because again, obviously
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: he is drunk, And so when Lee and Moon made
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: it to Lee's car, Moon kind of gently told Lee, Hey,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: why don't we leave your car here and just call
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: a taxi and they can take us home safely. But
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: when she said this, Lee took it as if Moon
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: was criticizing him for being too drunk, and he felt
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: really offended because in his mind he had just put
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: on this great date and made this great first impression
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: on Moon's parents, and here she is kind of nagging him,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: and so Lee just kind of blew his lid, and
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the couple got in this horrible yelling fight in the
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: parking garage, which ended with Lee telling Moon that their
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: relationship was now over. And then Lee turned around and
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: stormed off to hail a cab by himself, and after
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: he was gone, Moon just stood there next to Lee's car,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: being totally shocked at what had just happened, and then
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: kind of in a daze, she went and hailed a
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: cab herself and went home, and then she just laid
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: in bed and cried until she went to sleep. But
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Moon was not heartbroken for long because next morning, when
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Moon woke up, she heard a knock on the front door,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and when she opened it up, there was a delivery
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: guy with this huge, beautiful bouquet of roses for Moon,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and so Moon took these roses and quickly found a
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: card attached to the roses. She opened it up and
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: there was a letter from Lee saying, you know, please
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: accept these roses. As a part of my apology. Last
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: night didn't go so well. I'm really sorry. Please come
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: to dinner with me tonight. Moon was so relieved to
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: get this apology letter that she called Lee right away
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and said, you know what I do forgive you. It's
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: all water under the bridge. You know my parents they
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: loved you, and they have no idea about that fight
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: we had, so let's just put it behind us and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: just continue being boyfriend and girlfriend. And at this point
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: it was Lee's turn to be totally relieved, because he
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: didn't know if Moon would want him back. But they
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: were back together, and that night they went out for
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: a fancy dinner together, and then also Lee had booked
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a very fancy hotel room that night for them to
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: stay in. And this is really how their relationship went
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: for the next couple of days. Basically, Lee would take
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Moon out shopping anywhere she wanted to go. They went
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: to all the best restaurants and stayed in the best hotels.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: To Moon, it was obvious that Lee was really just
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: continuing to shower her with gifts and praise and all
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: these fun things to still try to make up for
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: that big fight they got into. Even though Moon really
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: had forgiven him, and at some point, after several days
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: of being treated like a princess by Lee, Moon finally
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: told Lee stop buying me stuff. It's fine, I totally
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: forgive you. Everything is good. But Lee insisted that he'd
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: be allowed to continue to spoil her. After all, it
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: was the Christmas season and she deserved to be spoiled
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: around Christmas. So in South Korea, Christmas is celebrated a
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: bit differently than it is in Western countries like America.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: In South Korea, Christmas is a big holiday, but it's
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: really just a holiday for couples. It's not really a
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: family occasion. So in South Korea on Christmas, lots of
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: couples will go out on these fancy dates and so
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: that's kind of how they celebrate Christmas, whereas you know,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: in Western countries like America, it's all about family and
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: waking up and getting presents from Santa Claus. So that's
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the difference. Western is family centric and in South Korea
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: it's very couple centric. It's kind of like Valentine's Day
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: in the winter. So on Christmas, eve Lee told Moon
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: that he had a very special dinner plan for Christmas,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and Wood Moon mind coming over to Lee's apartment on
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Christmas morning to feed his cats and his dog, because
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Lee was going to be out running errands in preparation
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: for this big Christmas dinner, and of course Moon said
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: she would so. At around eleven am on Christmas Day,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Moon hopped off the elevator inside of Lee's apartment building
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and began walking down the hall towards his door, carrying
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the key to his door. But as Moon walked closer
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: and closer to Lee's door, she began smelling this really
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: powerful smell. It smelled like roses, and for a second,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Moon thought to herself, oh my goodness, this whole thing
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: was a setup. I'm not here to feed his pets.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I'm here because he must have planned some really elaborate
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: for Christmas Day for right now, and probably it has
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: to do with lots of roses inside of his apartment.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: And so Moon was really excited by the time she
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: got out front of Lee's apartment door, But before she
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: used her key to open it up and just go in,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: she decided she would just call out for Lee because
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: she figured at this point he's got to be in there.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: He knows I'm about to be surprised by this big thing,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: and so she calls out for Lee, but there's no answer,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and so she knocks a couple of times to see
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: if maybe she can get Lee to come to the door,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: But after knocking several times, there was no answer. So
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: eventually Moon used the key. She opened up the door,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: swung it open, and she stepped inside of Lee's apartment,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: expecting to be wowed by whatever Lee had planned, but instead,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: when she looked around, she couldn't really understand what she
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: was even seeing. Lee was nowhere to be found, but
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: there were roses all over the apartment. However, these were
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: not new roses. These were like several days old. Many
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: of them were wilted and the petals were starting to
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: fall off, and the water that all these roses were
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: sitting in was very dirty. But really there were like
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: vases of roses everywhere on every surface, and right away
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Moon started to feel really uneasy. It was like very
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: creepy to be in this dark apartment where no one's
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: inside of with just these weird flowers everywhere. And so,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: without going any further into the apartment, Moon once again
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: yelled out for Lee in hopes that maybe he was
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: here but again he didn't come out of any of
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the rooms, so she knows she's alone, and so she
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: called Lee on his phone to try to get an
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: explanation for what she was looking at, but Lee didn't
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: answer his phone. By this point, Lee's three cats were
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: circling around Moon's legs because they were eager to be fed,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and so Moon kind of stopped thinking about this strange
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: flower situation and looked over at the cat's bulls and
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: saw there was no dry food. They had eaten all
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: of their food, and so Moon began walking over to
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the bowls when she realized Lee had not told her
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: where he kept the cat food, and so she had
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: no idea where it was. So Moon began opening all
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the kitchen cabinets hoping to find this cat food somewhere.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: She didn't, and so eventually she left the kitchen and
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: she walked down this hallway inside of the apartment, and
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: she found there was a skinny closet in the hallway
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: that looked like a place where you would store cleaning
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: supplies and vacuums and that sort of thing. So she
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: reached down and tried to open it, but she was
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: able to turn the doorknob, but there was something inside
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: of this closet that was making it really hard to open,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: like it was stuck on something. Now again, Moon is
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: kind of looking around this dark, dingy apartment that's filled
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: with all these wilted roses, and she's feeling super uneasy.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: But she thought, you know, I just want to feed
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: these cats and just get out of here. And so
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Moon just grabbed that door handle and yanked as hard
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: as she could and she managed to pop it open.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: And for a second, Moon just stared at the inside
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: of the closet, having no idea what she was even
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: looking at, and then she started to screen. One of
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the most terrifying places in the entire world is a
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: place called skin Walker Ranch in Utah. There have been
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: so many unexplained occurrences on this property that government agencies
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: have been sent to this ranch to basically do an investigation,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: and a lot of what they found is classified. I
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: actually covered the Skinwalker Ranch story early on in my
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: YouTube career. But the reason I covered it is because
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I watched another video which was way better than mine
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: about Skinwalker Ranch, and it was by my favorite YouTube
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: channel by far back then and still today, and that
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: is of course Bedtime Stories their coverage of Skinwalker Ranch
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: is terrifying. The scene where one of these things is
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: outside the door of this house and they're tapping on
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the walls. It's like the most unsettling thing I've ever
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: seen on YouTube. And if you don't know this by now,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: we ball In Studios were lucky enough to secure our
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Bedtime Stories on our roster and they now produce a
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: weekly podcast where new episodes come out every single Wednesday.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: But this week, to celebrate Christmas, they're going to be
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: releasing three new episodes and they are all about skin
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Walker Ranch. Also, stick around till the end of this
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: video because we're gonna play a sneak peek from one
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: of those three episodes. It would turn out virtually everything
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Moon thought she knew about Lee, her boyfriend, was wrong.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Five days earlier, after Moon and Lee had gotten into
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: that horrible fight in the parking garage following the dinner
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: with Moon's parents, Lee had made it seem like he
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: was storming off to go hail a cab and drive
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: home on his own, but in reality, after he stormed off,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: he waited for Moon to walk away and get a
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: cab on her own and then Lee just walked right
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: back over to where he had parked his car in
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the parking garage. He got inside, turned it on, and
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: began driving home. But on his drive home, he actually
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: crashed into a taxi driver. Now, neither Lee nor the
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: taxi driver were harmed in this accident, and both cars
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: were still drivable. But Lee actually had a really big
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: problem with drinking and driving. Nine years earlier, in twenty thirteen,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: when Lee was serving in the military, he was put
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: in military prison for drunk driving, and then after he
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: got out of the military, he was arrested two more
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: times for drunk driving in twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: And so, even though this accident with the taxi driver
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: was very minor, Lee did not want to go to
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: police and report this accident because if officials got involved,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: they would see that Lee has this horrible history of
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: drunk driving and he would get in way more trouble.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: And so Lee convinced the taxi driver to just allow
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: him to pay him privately for the damages in order
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: to avoid getting officials involved. However, the taxi driver, who
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: was open to this, demanded that Lee pay him in cash.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: He didn't want some sort of deferred payment plan. He
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: wanted to be paid now, and so Lie said, okay, well,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: then let's go to my apartment and I'll just pay
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: you there. However, when the taxi driver and Lee got
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: to Lee's apartment, they got in a fight over how
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: much money Lee actually needed to pay the taxi driver
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: for the damages, and eventually Lee just kind of snapped
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and beat the taxi driver to death and then stuffed
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: his body inside of that cleaning closet in his apartment's hallway.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: And so that's what Moon had seen when she had
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: opened up that closet, she saw the corpse of the
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: taxi driver. And then after Lee had murdered the taxi driver,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: he stole the taxi driver's credit cards and his cell phone,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: and Lee would use the taxi driver's credit card to
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: pay for all those lavish dinners and hotel stays and
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: gifts over the next few days as Lee spoiled Moon
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: for Christmas. And also during that time, Lee was using
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the taxi driver's cell phone to send messages to the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: taxi driver's family to convince them that he was still alive. Also,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Lee went out and bought a whole bunch of bouquets
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: of roses and put them all over his apartment to
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: try to mask the smell of the rotting corpse inside
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: of his closet. But this murder and Lee's horrible drunk
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: driving were not his only secrets. Lee claimed he was
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: from this very wealthy, successful family that owned all these
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: amazing high rises in South Korea. But that was all
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: a big lie. Lee was not from a very successful family.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: He did not have any money. He basically just borrowed
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: money from family and friends and then lied about how
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: he acquired the money, claiming he was this big, successful,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: wealthy guy. Also, when the police in South Korea began
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: investigating the taxi driver's murder, they discovered that Lee's apartment
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: was not even his. It belonged to his ex girlfriend,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: who was a bartender in South Korea who was in
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: her fifties. Also, Lee's beloved three cats and dog that
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: he talked about all the time about how much he
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: loved them and cared for them, well those weren't his either.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Those were his ex girlfriends. And as police continued their
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: investigation into the murder of this taxi driver, they would
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: eventually find traces of Lee's ex girlfriend's blood inside of
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Lee's apartment, so his ex girlfriend's apartment, and they would
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: discover that Lee had murdered his ex girlfriend, stolen her apartment,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: stolen her pets, and even took her cell phone, and
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: to this day had been sending messages to her family
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: to try to convince them that she was still alive,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: even though nobody had seen her and had no idea
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: what was going on with her. Lee was ultimately arrested
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: for two counts of murder, and he would quickly admit
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: that he did kill the taxi driver and his ex girlfriend. However,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: by this point, police had located the cell phone of
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: a missing woman amongst Lee's things, and so they became
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: very suspicious that he might have had something to do
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: with this third woman's disappearance. However, to this day, Lee
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: has denied having anything to do with this missing woman,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: and they still have no idea what happened to her,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and so that case is kind of on hold. Despite
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: how totally crazy this whole story sounds, the craziest part
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: actually happened after Lee was arrested. Once Lee's crimes were
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: being talked about all over the news, Lee became totally
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: famous in South Korea because he was exceptionally good looking.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: On the news, they would play CCTV footage of Lee
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: interacting with that taxi driver before he murdered him, and
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the only takeaway from lots of people in South Korea was, Wow,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: this guy is so unbelievably attractive. He looks like an actor.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Not here's a guy who's about to murder someone. In fact,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Lee became so popular in South Korea for being so
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: beautiful that there became a real fear that Lee's ex
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: girlfriend Moon would become a target in some way, that
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: maybe Lee's fans would blame her for putting their beloved
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Lee in prison and they might try to attack her. However,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the police in South Korea did a really good job
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: of masking Moon's identity and so to this day we
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: believe she is still safe. And also for clarity, Moon
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: is actually not her real name. That is a pseudonym
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: that we used to protect her identity as well. In
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the end, Lee was sentenced to life in prison for
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: those two murders. One of the most terrifying places in
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the entire world is Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, and this week,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: as part of a special Christmas release, Bedtime Stories, the podcast,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: who was part of the ball and Studios network, is
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: going to be releasing three episodes about Skinwalker Ranch, and
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: as promised, here is a sneak peek from one of
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: those episodes.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Enjoy in the new year. As the spring rains began
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: to lash the ranch, the family would lose even more cattle,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: but now they began to reappear, sometimes dead from no
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: apparent cause, other times extensively mutilated. The nature of these
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: mutilations was bizarre. Huge chunks of flesh and skin were
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: carved out of the animals, yet there was no blood.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: The wounds always seemed to be cut with precision instruments,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: displaying an almost surgical quality rather than the savage tearing
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: of animal predators. The Shermans were feeding the stress caused
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: by these losses. Throughout nineteen ninety five, the strange activity
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: only intensified. Events took place that were frankly beyond bizarre.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: So that's going to do it. If you've got something
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: out of today's story, be sure to check out our
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: podcast called The Mister Ballin Podcast, where we have hundreds
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: more stories a lot like this one that are available
