  Speaker 1: I had always heard the rumors about the old building,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the way people said it was cursed, haunted by the suicides,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: from years back when it was an office complex.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: And it's twenty twenty four and.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I was working at McDonald's, not some horror movie set.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Yet that night changed everything.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: It was a.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Tuesday, dead slow as usual. I texted my boyfriend Ryan
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to come by. We were both making ends meet and
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: on some nights i'd just stay back late and have
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: our dinner date there in the McDonald's.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: It was getting late and there was no sign of him.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I stood behind the counter, scrolling through my phone when
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I saw a shadow moving toward the door.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Finally Ryan.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I decided to mess with him and crouch behind the counter,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: ready to jump out and scare him. As soon as
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: he walked in. The bell above the door chimed softly
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: as it opened. I held my breath, but nothing, no footsteps,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: no sounds. I waited, hunting the seconds in my head. Five, ten, fifteen,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Still nothing Ryan, I whispered, peeking over the counter. The
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: dining area was empty. The door had closed, but no
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: one had come in. My heart fluttered with the sudden unknees.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I stood up slowly scanning the room. Maybe he was
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: messing with me too and had to be it. I
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: walked around the counter, checking the tables, even the bathroom door.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Ryan, Seriously, this isn't funny.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: No answer, just the low hum of the machines and
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the weight of the empty restaurant pressing in on me.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Then out of nowhere, there was a loud crash outside.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: My heart jumped, and I rushed out to see what
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: had happened, fearing the.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Worst, what if Ryan was hurt?
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: The parking lot was empty that there was a trash
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: can lying on its side, the metal bent like something
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: had fallen on it from above. I stood frozen, staring
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: at it. There was no one around, no cars, no wind,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: no reason for it to be knocked over like that.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I hadn't even heard any footsteps. Just as I was
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: about to head back inside, I heard someone call.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: My name, Stacy.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I spun around to see Ryan sprinting towards me, out
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: of breath and pale as a ghost. He grabbed my arms,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: his eyes wide with fear, and he looked around desperately.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Did you see that? See what? I saw?
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Someone jump? Stacy from the roof right here? He pointed
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to the top of the building, his voice shaking. I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: followed his gaze to the roof, but there was no
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: one there.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: There's no one up there, Ryan, you're freaking me out.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I'm serious.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Someone jumped from the roof. They should have fallen right here.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: The look in his eyes told me he wasn't joking.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I glanced back at the trash can, the dent in
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the metal. I had heard the loud sound well, but
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to believe it, nor tell about it
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: to Ryan.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Come on, let's go inside, I said, pulling him toward
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the door. It's probably just.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Suddenly a figure moved in the window reflection behind us.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I froze. We spun around, but the parking lot was
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: still empty. Nothing. I locked the door behind us in
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: a hurry.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I tried telling myself it was just my imagination running wild.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: But then Ryan glanced toward the kitchen. Is Ramon still here?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: His voice was tight, like he was trying to stay calm.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: No, he left an hour ago.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Why then, who else is doing the graveyard shift, Solomon?
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: No one, It's just me, I swear.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I just saw someone walk into the kitchen and I
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: turned to look, my stomach dropping the door to the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: kitchen was swinging ever so slightly, like someone had just
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: passed through.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Could be one of those kids they'd get high and
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: steal burgers in the night.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: But something didn't feel right. The air felt off, thick.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I went inside the kitchen, but there was no one.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Ryan followed, puzzled himself. That is when suddenly the fryer
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: turned on by itself, the oil bubbling violently. I jumped back,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: my heart slamming in my chest. What the hell is happening?
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I didn't answer, too busy watching the fryer. As the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: heat climbed higher, smoke beginning to curl from the oil,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and just then a loud bang echoed through the kitchen.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: The metal spatulas and pans started falling, crashing onto the floor. Stacy,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: we need to get out of here. Ryan was already
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: backing away, his voice shaking. I ran to the fryer,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: trying to shut it off, but the buttons wouldn't work.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: As I pulled away, the lights flickered, My breath caught
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: in my throat. In one of those flashes, I saw
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: something someone standing in the doorway to the kitchen, a
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: figure tall and shadowed, watching us.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: The lights came back on he was gone. Ryan pulled
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: me toward the door. Let's go. We sprinted outside.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: My hands were shaking so badly I dropped the keys twice.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: We got into Ryan's car and drove away.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: That is when I glanced in the rearview mirror and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: saw a figure standing in the window of the McDonald's
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: dark with glowing right eyes. It had been a brutal
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: month ever since James lost his job.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: We were barely holding it together.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: His new gig at the garage didn't cover the bills,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and my late shifts and McDonald's left me running on fumes.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: But none of that could have prepared me for that.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: It had just been a week since I started bringing
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: my seven year old to work. Isabella didn't mind, though,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: she loved it, especially when he was there, Kevin, the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: guy who played Ronald McDonald. Every time he came in
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: dressed in that ridiculous costume, Isabella's eyes would light up
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and she'd rush over to him. He'd let her sit
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: on his lap, play games with her, and even give
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: her a little happy meal toys in the Lost and
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Found box. But there was something about him that made
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: my skin crawl. It wasn't just his costume, it was him.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: His crooked teeth and pale blue eyes never seemed to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: blink enough. None of his smiles reached his eyes. I
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: told Isabella to stay away from him, but she was whipped.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: The night was no different. The dinner rush hit hard.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I could barely hear myself think over the noise. Isabella,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: as always was with Kevin, it was entertaining the kids.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: He cracked some joke and the kids irrupted into giggles.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: It had to be just a second.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I turned away, just long enough to hand over a tray,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: though when I looked back, Isabella was gone, and so
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: was Kevin. Panic surged through me like ice water. I
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: scanned the room frantically, looking for her in the crowd
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: of customers.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Nothing. I saw him, heading out back.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: One of my coworkers muttered. My heart slammed against my chest.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: As I shoved open the back door, the alley yawned
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: before me, dim and cold.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Bella, I yelled, running like a woman gone mad. Silence.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: She wasn't in sight, Bella. I cried again.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Then I heard it, a quiet sobbing mingled with the
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: soft cooing of another voice from behind the dumpster.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: It's all right, dear, You're all right.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: We don't have to tell Mommy, okay, she'd just worry unnecessarily, Kevin.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I froze, My heart pounded against my ribs as I
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: got closer. His words made my blood run cold, and
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: all the fears I'd ever had about this man came
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: to the surface. Isabella sniffle, But what about all.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: The blood so all over my dress? Hommy's going to
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: be mad.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I rushed toward the dumpster, my mind filled with images
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: of the worst nightmares imaginable.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: I rounded the corner and there they were.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Isabella sitting on Kevin's lap, her dress smeared with dark
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: red stains. She was crying, and Kevin was holding her,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: his hands covered in blood. I saw red. I didn't
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: even think. I grabbed a nearby rock and threw it
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: at him. The force of my fear and anger drove
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: me forward.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: You sick monster, I.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Screamed, lunging at him, trying to pull Isabella away from him.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I knew it, you pedophile.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Kevin barely flinched as the rock hit him. His pale
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: blue eyes looked up at me, wide and shocked, but
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: still that same unnerving calm, Michelle, wait, he started, but
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I listening.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: How could you to a seven year old? I screamed,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: my hands shaking get away from her.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: At that moment, some of the employees came rushing out,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: drawn by the commotion. They froze, looking at the scene
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the blood. Isabella crying, Kevin sitting there with the strange,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: unreadable expression, slowly getting angry. Follow me, Kevin snarled as
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: he dragged me behind the dumpster. There was something small
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: and furry lying on the ground in a pool of.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Blood of raccoon. He attacked me. Mommy, Kevin, he she
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: saved me.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I felt the world tilt beneath me, my breath caught
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: in my throat as the reality of the situation hit
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: me with a tidal wave of guilt.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Kevin had saved my daughter.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I stumbled back, my hands trembling, the rocks slipping from
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: my grasp.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Mind reeled, trying to process what I had done, what
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I had thought, I didn't know. I stammered, my voice breaking,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I thought.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Kevin's eyes softened and he gave me that same crooked smile,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: the one that I had always hated. But now it
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: looks different, kinder, somehow, it's okay, Michelle, he said quietly.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I know how I look. Hideous, people think things. I
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: felt like a fool, an absolute fool. I had judged him,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I had hated him because of the way he looked,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: because he made me feel uneasy, and in the end,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: he had been the one to protect my daughter when
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I wasn't paying attention. I'm sorry, I whispered, my voice,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: barely audible. Kevin just smiled again. No need to apologize.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I judge me too if it were my kid. That night,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: as I held Isabella close, I realized how deceiving appearances
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: could be. Sometimes the people who look the scariest can
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: be the ones who save you, And sometimes the ugliest
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: things are just the shadows of our own fear. Working
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the night shift at McDonald's always had an eerie quiet
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to it. There wasn't much action past midnight, just the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: occasional car pulling into the drive through and the lonely
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: sounds of the highway a mile away. The McDonald's was
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: at the edge of a small town, surrounded by a
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: thick forest. We didn't belong there. It was like the
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: forest wanted to swallow us up. I was the closer
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: that night, cleaning tables while Louise handled the kitchen. Since
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: it was a boring job, I had my earphones on
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: listening to some Lincoln Park bangers while cleaning the tables,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: but soon I heard some disturbance from outside. I took
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: on my earphones when I heard it, faint at first,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: like a soft shuffling just outside the window, like someone
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: or something was moving outside. I turned toward the big
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: window that faced the woods, but all I could see
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: was the reflection of the empty dining area, and myself curious,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I stepped outside the night, air biting at my skin,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I stared into the thick trees. The forest was still,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: not even a breeze moving through the branches, no animals,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: no wind, just dead silence. But as I turned to
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: go back inside, I had the daylight shaken out of me.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I saw it, a dark figure perched on one of
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the branches of the.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Old oak tree. My breath hitched.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: It was hunched over, completely, still watching me from its spot.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: High in the tree. I could barely make it out,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: but it was there, unmoving.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I felt my chest tighten, and before I could think,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I backed away toward the door. Then came a sudden,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: violent rustling from the tree, like something big was shifting.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I stumbled backward, my heart pounding in my throat. I
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: ran inside, slamming the door behind me, screaming, Luise, you
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: gotta come out here, ma'am. Something is outside. Luise was
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: scrubbing down the fryer, barely lifting his head. What no,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: just come, there's something strange in the tree, I swear.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: He rolled his eyes but followed me to the front.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I pointed to the oak tree outside the window, but
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the figure was gone, nothing but empty branches, swaying ever
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: so slightly. Dude, you're seeing things. It's probably an animal.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a damn animal. It was some other thing,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: like one of those skin walkers Jeremy used.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: To talk about.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I said, my voice shaking, but I couldn't explain it,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: not really. He shrugged and went back to cleaning, leaving
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: me staring at the tree.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: The rest of the shift was tense for me.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Every creak, every little noise made me jump, but I
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: tried to push it down, convincing myself that I was
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: just tired. By the time we finished, I just wanted
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: to get the hell out of there. Louise walked ahead,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: and I fumbled with my keys as we reached my car.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Just as I slid into the driver's seat, Louise stopped
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: dead in his tracks. Hold up, who's that? I froze,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: looking up. He was staring off into the forest, past
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the dim glow of the lights, toward the edge where
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the trees loomed. What do you mean there's no one there.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: He's right there, man, standing by the trees. He's waving.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I felt a cold sweat break out on the back
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: of my neck.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: There was nobody there.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: I strained my eyes, but all I saw were the trees,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: thick and unmoving in the darkness.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Louise, there's no one there. He just wait? Where did
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: he go?
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Before I could respond, the tree branches above the car
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: began to shake violently, as if something huge was thrashing
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: through them. My hands trembled as I gripped the steering wheel.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: What the hell is that? We need to go now?
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I started the car as Louise jumped in, but before
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I could shift into drive, something landed on the roof
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: with a sickening thudd. The entire car rocked, the metal
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: groaning under the weight of whatever had dropped on us.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Louise screamed. My chest tightened. I couldn't move, couldn't breathe.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: What the hell was that? Louise was frozen, his eyes wide,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: his hands gripping the dashboard.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Just thrive, Thrive.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I slammed my foot on the gas tires, screeching as
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: we tore out. We didn't speak the entire drive back,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: my hands shaking the whole time. The next morning, we
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: went back to check the security footage, half expecting to
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: see something, anything that would make sense of the night.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: We fast forward through the hours, but the cameras didn't
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: show anything. No figures, no rustling trees, just empty footage.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: But as we walked back to the car, my stomach
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: dropped the roof of the car.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: There were claw.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Marks, deep jacket scratches etched across the roof, like something
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: had tried to tear its way inside. I swallowed hard,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: and that's when I noticed something wedged into the window frame,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: a note, scrawled and smudged shaky letters.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: We watching
