  Speaker 1: Today, I'm going to tell you three stories that are
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: all connected under the theme of Stranger than Fiction, but
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: they really couldn't be more different from each other. I mean,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: these are three very diverse stories, ranging from almost comical
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: two very dark, but regardless.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I know you're gonna like them.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: But before we get into today's stories, if you're a
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format,
• 0:23

• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's get into today's stories.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: In October of twenty fifteen, a receptionist sat at her
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: desk at a sports medicine center in Birmingham, Alabama, and
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: scrolled through her boss's upcoming surgery schedule on her computer.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: The receptionist worked for a famous orthopedic surgeon named doctor
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: James Andrews, and because of his notoriety, his schedule was
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: typically packed and so her job, for the most part
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: was just to go through his schedule all the time
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and make sure nothing conflicted. And so as this receptionist
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: scrolled through the schedule, she saw that over the next
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: couple of days that doctor Andrews did have several surgeries
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and there actually didn't appear to be any conflicts, and
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: so she began moving on to the next part of
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: her job, which was to alert upcoming surgery patients about
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: their upcoming surgery and to make sure that all their
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: information and the timing of the procedure were all in
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: line with whatever they were expecting. And so the next
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: person up to get surgery by doctor Andrews was this
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: minor league baseball player whose name was Brady Feigel, and
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: he was having an elbow surgery.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: And he was supposed to come in the following morning.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: So the receptionist called the number on file for Brady,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: but it actually wasn't.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Brady's phone number.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: It was Brady's baseball team's athletic trainer. And so, you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: this guy picks up the phone and the receptionist says, hey,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: just so you know, Brady has a surgery tomorrow morning.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: It's his elbow surgery, just trying to confirm the details
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and make sure he understands what he needs to do
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to prep forward, et cetera, et cetera. And so after
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: she ran through her spiel, the trainer just kind of
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: paused for a second and there was silence on the line,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and then the trainer said to the receptionist, there's got
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to be a mistake here, because Brady already had that surgery.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: He said, Brady had gotten it done six months earlier
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and as a result of the surgery, had had to
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: sit out basically the entire baseball season.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: So there was no mistaking it. He had had this surgery.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: It was done.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: But the receptionist, as she's hearing this, she's like, no,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: that doesn't make any sense. Because the receptionist actually remembered
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Brady Feigel. He had come in recently for his consultation
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: for this elbow surgery, and he was a really unique
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: looking guy. I mean, he's six foot four, he had
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: bright red hair, a big beard, and also he is
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: a professional baseball player. Like, this is a unique guy
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: that's coming in for a unique surgery that's related to baseball.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: And so the receptionist is like, no, like he came
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: in recently for his consultation.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: He still needs the surgery, I'm sure of it.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: And so what ended up happening next is the receptionist
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and the trainer started going back and forth kind of
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: trying to describe Brady Feigel to make sure they both
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: were talking about the same person. But of course they were,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: because how many six foot four, you know, professional baseball
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: player pitchers with this particular elbow problem that we're coming
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to this clinic for an elbow surgery were there? Like,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: this had to be the same guy, but how could
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: they both be right? That the trainers saying, well, my
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Brady Figel already got it done, and the receptionist is like, no,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: he's scheduled to come in tomorrow because I had a
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: consultation with him a couple of days ago. Like, they
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: couldn't both be right, but they couldn't understand how this
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: could be possible. But the explanation for this that they
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: did eventually figure out, you just have to see believe
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: it would turn out the receptionist and the trainer were
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: both right. Doctor James Andrews was scheduled to perform an
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: elbow surgery on a six foot four red haired, big
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: bearded minor league pitcher named Brady Figel the following morning,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and doctor James Andrews had also performed the same surgery
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: on another six foot four, red haired, big bearded Brady Figel,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: who also was a minor league baseball player, also a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: pitcher who hurt his elbow months earlier. There were literally
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: two Brady Figels that didn't know each other, that looked
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the same did the same sort of really unique job,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: minor league baseball player that also went to the same
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: clinic to get the same surgery at roughly the same time.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: But somehow or another, the clinic put the wrong contact
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: information for the wrong Brady, and so the guy who
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: was supposed to get surgery the next day, they accidentally
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: put in the contact info for the other Brady Figle
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: because they confused them because they look exactly the same
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and they had the same name, and they the same surgery.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: So you can see how the mistake happened.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: And so it was not until this surgery mix up
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that the two Brady Figels learned the other existed. They
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: did not know each other, and when they met each other,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: i mean, they're spitting images of each other, and they
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: do the same job and they have the same issue
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: with their elbow.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was like this incredible coincidence.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: But believe it or not, they did do a DNA
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: test because they're thinking we've got to be related, right.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Nope, they're not related.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: They are just absolutely perfect doppelgangers. Hey, guys, just want

  Speaker 1: it out around one thirty pm on January fourth, twenty twenty,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: a twenty five year old woman named Stov Hurrari and
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: her boyfriend, whose name was Dean Shoshani, looked out the
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: window of their apartment, which was located in Tel Aviv, Israel.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Their apartment was located on the top floor of a
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: brand new complex, and from that position they had a
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: great view of the whole neighborhood, at least normally, but
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: today their view was pretty much completely obscured because there
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: was this horrible thunderstorm outside, tons of rain and hail.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, they could barely look out their window. It
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: was just like water and hay all blasting against the glass.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: And so Stop and Dean. They look at each other
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and it's pretty clear both of them are thinking the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: same thing. So this couple, they've been together since they
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: were super young, and they really had just begun to
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: transition into adulthood together, and so in this transitional time,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: you know, they were just starting to make real money,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: but they really didn't have a lot of money. They'd
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: put a lot of whatever they had into this apartment,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and they also had recently purchased a car. And so
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the two of them, as they're looking at each other,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: they're thinking about that car, their investment, and with this
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: huge storm out there, there's a chance the storm could
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: damage that car and they couldn't have that. They didn't
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: have the money to fix it, like they needed that car,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and so they both were like, you know what, let's
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: go down to the parking lot and move the car
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: just to make sure.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: It does not get damaged.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: So Dean grabbed the car keys and then he and
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Stob left their apartment, went into the hallway and walked
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: down to the elevator. They pressed the down button and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: then a moment later, the elevator car opened up.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: There was nobody inside. Stop and Dean stepped in.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: They hit the button that would bring them down to
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the parking lot, and then the door's closed and the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: elevator began to go down.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: And as they were going down, you know, Stop.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: And Dean were quiet, just sort are waiting, anxious to
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: see if their car had already been damaged.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: They didn't know, and so down it went, you know,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: top floor again.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of a long ride and they get
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: really close to the floor they're waiting to get off
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: at when suddenly the car kind of comes to an
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: abrupt stop. And for a second, both Stop and Dean
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: are thinking, Okay, well, I guess we must be at
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the floor. I mean, this is about where we should
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: have stopped anyways, and the two of them are just
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: staring at the doors.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Waiting for them to open up.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: But they don't, and after what felt like too long
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: of a waiting period for the doors not to open,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Stop reached out and hit the button that opens up
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the doors, but when she pressed the door open button,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: they didn't open.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Nothing happened.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: At this point, Stop began to panic, and she turned
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: to Dean and said, like, what do we do, Like
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: we're stock, We're trapped, but Dean.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Said, don't worry about it. It's fine.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: It's probably just some small malfunction. It'll start working again soon,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: like no big deal. But within seconds of that exchange,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the two of them heard a very familiar sound, and
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: when they looked at where the sound was coming from,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: they both began to scream. At the same time this
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: was happening, another resident of this complex, a young man
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: named Eli, happened to be nearby when he heard screaming,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and he found out that the screaming was coming from
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the elevator shaft and the doors were shut on his side,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: and so he runs to the doors and he listens
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: and very clearly, just beyond these doors had to be
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: people who were stuck in the elevator and they were
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: screaming for help, and so instinctively Eli grabbed the outside
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: of the elevator and he tried to pry it open,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: but he just couldn't get them to budge. And the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: whole time Stop and Dean on the inside are freaking out, screaming,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: pleading with someone to get them out, and so Eli
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: he turns and starts yelling for other people who were
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: also nearby to come over and help, and before long
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: there was a group of guys over at the elevator
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: doing everything they could with Eli to pry this thing open,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: but they just couldn't. And the whole time Stop and
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Dean are inside, sounding more and more desperate, and so
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Eli finally pulled out his phone and called the emergency
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: services line. However, despite Eli pretty quickly alerting the authorities
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: about this ongoing crisis here, this elevator issue, it would
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: take over an hour and a half for first responders
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: to finally arrive to the apartment building. Because of this
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: treacherous storm. There were loads of other problems in the city.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: But when they finally arrived at Stob and Dean's apartment
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: and they got to the elevator, it was already too late.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: It would turn out after stop and Dean got stuck
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: in the elevator and they're hitting the button waiting for
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: it to open, but nothing's happening. Well, that familiar sound
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: they heard was water rushing into the elevator. They looked
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: down and saw water filling up this space that they
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: can't get out of, and they began to panic and
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: scream and beat on the doors as the water level
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: slowly continued to rise. Because their parking lot was not outside,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: it was underground, and the big risk to anybody who
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: parked in this lot is during big storms, this lot
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: was known to flood, and so the couple had gone
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: down to move their car to avoid flooding, not to
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: avoid hail damage.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: But where this elevator car.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Had stopped was underground, and so the parking lot did
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: begin to flood, and that water found its way into
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the actual elevator car, and so Eli and those other
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: people who were nearby who went over to the elevator
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and tried to open it. They were also standing in water.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: They were very well aware of the fact that if
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: they couldn't open these doors, Stove and Dean are going
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to drown. And Eli, he didn't call the emergency services
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: line once and.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Call it good.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: He called sixteen times because he's watching as the water
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: is rising and rising, and no one's shown up yet.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: And so eventually Eli and the others they had to
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: abandon the elevator and basically swim out of the parking
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: garage as they're listening to the sound of two people
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: stop and Dean still trapped inside of the elevator car.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: And so as they swam out.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Of the parking garage and no first responders arrived, they
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: knew what happened clearly they were going to drown, and
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: so they listened to those screams until they stopped. And
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: then finally firstas Fonders showed up, and when they got there,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: they literally had to use scuba equipment to dive down
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the elevator shaft, which by this point was totally submerged,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: and then when they reached the car, they had to
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: cut a.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Hole in the ceiling and then.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: They pulled Stobnden out and even though they rushed them
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: to the hospital, unfortunately they both had already died. On
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the evening of July second, nineteen ninety three, a forty
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: nine year old politician named Maslin Idris paced around the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: living room inside of his home, which was located in
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a suburb of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Maslin was feeling very
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: anxious because tonight in his home, he was going to
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: have a very important meeting. So Maslin was all already
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: a very successful politician. He was a state assemblyman, which
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: is sort of like a state congress person. But what
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: he really coveted, the thing he wanted more than anything
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: else in his political career was to become the state's
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: mentory bizarre, which is sort of like being the state's governor.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: But to get this.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Role, Maslin had to be appointed, and realistically, he didn't
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: know if that was going to happen. And that was
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: in part because recently he had felt like his political
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: power was sort of, you know, slipping away from him.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: And on top of that, you know, he was getting
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: older and he sort of felt like his popularity was
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: waning too, and so he felt like, you know, in
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: order for me to get appointed to become the state's
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: mentory bizarre.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: I really need to find a unique way to reclaim.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: That political power and popularity, and that was going to
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: be the central focus of the big meeting at his
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: house that night. So Maslin continued to pace around anxiously
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: checking his watch, you know, waiting for these people to
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: show up.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: And then, sure enough, late that night, he heard a
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: knock on the door. He hustled over.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: To the door and he made sure he looked okay,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and then he opened it up and standing in the
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: hallway is this unbelievably beautiful woman who's flanked by these
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: two men that he didn't know. And immediately Maslin is
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: just completely drawn to this woman. She had long, dark hair,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: this huge smile in her eyes.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, they sucked him in. It was like she was,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: you know, hypnotizing her for something.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, she really looked like a celebrity, at least
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: as Maslin imagined celebrities look up close. This woman's name
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: was Mona Fandy, and actually, to some degree, she was
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: a celebrity.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Back in the nineteen eighties.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: She had released a pop music album that had been
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: very popular all over Malaysia, and so she was like
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: kind of famous in Malaysia.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Now in the.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Early nineteen nineties, Mona was done singing, that part of
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: her life was over, but she had launched this brand
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: new second career post music that to some people it
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: seemed like that actually made her more notable and more
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: famous than her singing had. These days, Mona was a
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: highly sought after professional shaman. You know, in Malaysia at
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: this time, shamanism was pretty popular, and mainstream shamans were
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: these people who claimed to have supernatural powers, you know,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: they could heal.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: People and bring them prosperity.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: And so it wasn't uncommon for the really well known
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: shamans to be called upon by very powerful people like
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: you know, politicians, let's say, to sort of leverage their
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: powers to increase their clout and their influence. And so
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Maslin saw Mona, who at the time was arguably the
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: most famous shaman in the entire country. He saw her
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: as his meal ticket. She was going to be the
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: way that he reclaimed the power he needed so he
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: could be appointed as the states Mentry Bizar. And so
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Maslin very excitedly welcomed Mona and the two men who
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: were her husband and her assistant into his home. And
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: you know, even though Maslin had expected to see Mona tonight,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, he knew she was the one who'd be
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: performing this ritual tonight, he still couldn't help but feel
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: totally starstruck by her. And so as a result, he
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: had a lot of nervous energy, and he began sort
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: of like rapid firing, asking her questions about, you know,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: like how quickly will I see results? And like how
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: is this going to go? And you know, how successful
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: are these things really? And Mona, as she's just looking
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: at him and smiling, she just eventually reaches out as
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: he's talking and just puts her hand on his shoulder
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: and says, it's okay, why don't you show my husband
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: and my assistant where the room is, where the space
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: is that we're going to be doing this ritual tonight.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: And at this Maslin just totally shut up, and he nodded.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: He sort of got the hint that he was sort
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: of being too much here, and he led them into
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: this other room that he had cleared out for tonight.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: There was nothing on the ground. It was like a
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: vacant room in his house. And right away the assistant
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: he began spreading flower pedals all over the ground while
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Maslin began speaking to Mona's husband to work.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Out payment details. I mean, this was not a free
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: thing that he was getting.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: It was going to cost him the equivalent of tens
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: of thousands of US dollars to get what he wanted here,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: to gain his power back. But Maslin didn't really care
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: about how much this cost in money, because to him,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: it was absolutely worth it. And so once the payment
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: details were handled and Maslin was ready and the assistant
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: had finished putting all the flower pedals out, Mona walked
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: over and told Maslin to come with her, and so
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: he followed Mona and they went into the ritual room
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: that again is covered with flower pedals, and she told
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Maslin to lay down on his back in the middle
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: of the room.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: So he did that.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: He laid down, and he's looking up at Mona and
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: her assistant and her husband are off in the background,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: and Mona's got that big, dazzling smile, and she's staring
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: right at him. She says, close your eyes and clear
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: your mind, and all I want you to do is
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: just focus on your desires for the future. You know
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: what riches do you want to come to you and
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: focus solely on those, And so Maslyn did this. In
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: his mind's eye, he pictured himself becoming more politically powerful
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: and more popular and landing the job of his dreams.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: And he's sort of narrating what he's saying out loud,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: and Mona's telling him good, good, keep going, keep picturing
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: those things. And then at some point she's like, look,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I want you to picture riches raining down from the
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: sky on you, sort of symbolizing you getting these things
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: that you want.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: And so Maslin did that, and he began.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Picturing the gold and the silver falling from the sky,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: you know, landing on him, and he's narrating what he's
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: feeling and seeing. And at some point he was so
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: fixated on this idea of riches coming from the sky
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: that he swore he could literally feel the gold and
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: silver actually hitting his body.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: And at that point when he was actually feeling something
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: is when the ritual was done.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: A little over a year later, on September twelfth, nineteen
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: ninety four, the famous shaman Mona Fandy glided her way
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: through a crowd of photographers on a street just outside
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: of Kuala Lumpur, Mona was dressed to the nines, she
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: had red lipstick on, her hair was all styled up,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: she had beautiful clothes on. And you know, as she
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: maneuvered through the crowd, she sort of feigned like she
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: didn't want the attention, but she totally did. So it
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: would turn out the ritual that she had performed on
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Maslin a year earlier had made Maslin incredibly famous, and
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: in turn, it had made Mona even more famous than
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: she already was. And so the paparazzi, they were desperate
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: to get a photo of her because of her unbelievable
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: fame and for Mona, even though she acted like what
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: she really cared about was being a shaman and helping
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: people achieve their dreams and to heal and gain and prosperity.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Even though that's what she would say, the truth was,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: ever since she had had that big hit, that pop
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: music album that had launched her into the stratosphere, ever
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: since then she had been chasing fame and now she had.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Really nailed it. I mean, she was like an icon
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: in Malaysia.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: And so as she maneuvered past the paparazzi and everyone's
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: clamoring to get her attention and to get her photo.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: She thought to herself, my plan has worked perfectly, except
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: it's important to understand that, you know, Mona wasn't really.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Famous as much as she was infamous.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: And it really stemmed from that ritual she performed on Maslin,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: because what she did to Maslin is she actually just
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: ritualistically executed him. Except it would turn out Maslin wasn't
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: even her first victim. He was her eighth victim, at
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: least as far as we know. And she just got
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: caught after she killed Maslin. When Maslin was laying in
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: that room and the ritual's going on, and he's being
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: told to picture all these you know, gold coins and
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: silver bars raining down on him. Well, while he was
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: doing that and critically he had his eyes closed, Mona
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: grabbed an axe, raised it up and brought.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: It down into the middle of his chest. And so
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: this ritual murder.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Was designed to lead to somebody getting more power and
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: more fame. Except that person was not really Maslin.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: It was Mona.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, Maslin did become extremely well known for being
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: a victim.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Of Mona, but it was Mona who suddenly was the
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: talk of the entire country. I mean, she was all.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Over the news and she was beautiful, and so it's
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: like this crazy dichotomy of this unbelievably attractive woman who's
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: also a serial killer. I mean, this is the stuff
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: that just makes the news over and over and over again,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and Mona loved it. And so when Mona was walking
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: past that crowd of paparazzi and they're all taken photos
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: of her, that was actually her walking to her murder trial.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Every day, she would basically treat that walk up the
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: steps to her murder trial as like her personal red
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: carpet with all the paparazzi taken her photo. She'd dress
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: up in these lavish outfits and smile for the cameras
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: on her way to be tried for murder and then
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: ultimately she was convicted of it and sentenced to death,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: but she was totally unfazed because for her, again, it
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: was all about gaining this incredible notoriety and she had succeeded.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: It was like the ultimate shaman move and she had
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: done it.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: On the day of Mona's actual execution, she was going
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: to be hanged along with her assistant and husband. They
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: too were found guilty, you know, on her walk to
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: the gallows. We have all these reporters and all these photographers,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: and she's still flashing smiles and treating it again like
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: it's her own personal movie premiere.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, she didn't care.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: At all that she's literally about to be killed, and
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: literally her final words as the news is being put
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: around her neck were I'll never die. Thank you so
