Speaker 1: I have been working get a Target for a long time.
0:06
Speaker 1: We face all kinds of customers every day, from the
0:09
Speaker 1: over demanding dad to nagging kids.
0:12
Speaker 2: We try to.
0:12
Speaker 1: Manage everyone with a smile, but some customers turn out
0:16
Speaker 1: to be completely different from what they appear in the beginning.
0:20
Speaker 1: It was a boring Tuesday night and I was cleaning
0:23
Speaker 1: the store. It was near closing hours when I noticed
0:25
Speaker 1: a woman standing in front of a shelf full of
0:27
Speaker 1: toilet paper. She was nodding her head from left to
0:30
Speaker 1: right and talking to herself in a very weird manner.
0:33
Speaker 1: I was stunned to see her behave like that. I
0:36
Speaker 1: stopped working and stood there and all. She suddenly turned
0:39
Speaker 1: back and said, Melissa, don't you have work to do?
0:45
Speaker 1: I am sorry, ma'am. I turned around awkwardly and started
0:49
Speaker 1: mopping the floor again. It took me a second to
0:51
Speaker 1: realize what just happened. Wait a minute, how does she
0:55
Speaker 1: know my name? I don't even know her, and I'm
0:58
Speaker 1: pretty sure this is the first time we are meeting
1:00
Speaker 1: in person. I looked at her with a confused face
1:03
Speaker 1: and said, ma'am, how do you know my name? She
1:07
Speaker 1: didn't reply, just stood there like before. I went to
1:10
Speaker 1: her and touched her shoulder, when she suddenly broke free
1:13
Speaker 1: from her transient state and looked at me as if
1:15
Speaker 1: this is the first time she's seeing me. Can you
1:18
Speaker 1: please tell me where I will get the toilet paper? Ma'am,
1:22
Speaker 1: you are standing right next to them. She looked up
1:25
Speaker 1: at the stacked rolls of toilet paper and get extremely embarrassed.
1:28
Speaker 1: I could see in her eyes that all this time
1:31
Speaker 1: standing there, she didn't even notice these rolls. It was
1:34
Speaker 1: as if all this time she was in a different world.
1:38
Speaker 1: I asked her again, ma'am, you didn't tell me. How
1:42
Speaker 1: do you know my name?
1:43
Speaker 2: What?
1:44
Speaker 1: I don't know your name? What are you saying? You
1:47
Speaker 1: just called me by my name? I don't even have
1:49
Speaker 1: a name tag, ma'am. Are you feeling all right?
1:54
Speaker 2: Yeah?
1:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just going to finish shopping and go home.
2:00
Speaker 1: I am sorry if I startled you. The woman grabbed
2:03
Speaker 1: some toilet rows and threw them in her cart. I
2:05
Speaker 1: could tell from her body language that she is aware
2:08
Speaker 1: of her weirdness and she is trying to hide something.
2:11
Speaker 1: At the same time, as soon as she went out
2:13
Speaker 1: of my sight, I felt the urge to keep an
2:16
Speaker 1: eye on her. I secretly followed her. She walked past
2:19
Speaker 1: the hardware section and went to the clothing department. At
2:22
Speaker 1: that moment, there were hardly three to four people in
2:25
Speaker 1: the store. The clothing section was completely empty. The woman
2:29
Speaker 1: who was going through boys T shirts like a normal person.
2:31
Speaker 1: I started organizing the shells nearby and observed her with
2:35
Speaker 1: the corner of my eye. Three minutes went by, and
2:37
Speaker 1: she didn't do anything weird like before. I kind of
2:40
Speaker 1: lost my interest, thinking it was all just a coincidence.
2:44
Speaker 1: I might have taken five to six steps when I
2:46
Speaker 1: heard a chuckle. As I looked back, I met with
2:49
Speaker 1: a disgusting sight. She was pulling her own hair and
2:53
Speaker 1: chewing it like crazy. The way she was eating her
2:56
Speaker 1: own strands of hair made me shudder in disgust. Survivable
3:00
Speaker 1: drooling from her mouth, and her eyes were moving around
3:02
Speaker 1: like crazy. I couldn't wait and watch her going on
3:05
Speaker 1: like this. I rushed to the counter and called my coworker,
3:08
Speaker 1: explaining this emergency situation. By the time I reached near
3:12
Speaker 1: the counter, I saw other customers leaving and Paul locking
3:15
Speaker 1: the main entrance. Don't there's someone in here?
3:18
Speaker 2: What tell them?
3:19
Speaker 1: We are past closing hours? No you're not getting it.
3:24
Speaker 1: There's something very wrong with her. You need to come
3:27
Speaker 1: with me. The usual routine was to lock the main
3:29
Speaker 1: entrance after ten pm and leave for home using the
3:32
Speaker 1: back door. Paul and I have worked many ships together,
3:35
Speaker 1: and we were the ones who left the store last.
3:37
Speaker 1: I escorted him to the closing section where I saw
3:39
Speaker 1: the woman last time. There was no one else in
3:42
Speaker 1: the store, and Paul was getting anxious to leave as well.
3:45
Speaker 1: What is it, Melissa, there's no one here. No, I
3:48
Speaker 1: just saw her right here. She was eating her own hair.
3:51
Speaker 1: I'm telling you there was something wrong with her. Look,
3:55
Speaker 1: I don't have time for all this. Let's make a
3:57
Speaker 1: quick round around the store and leave. I have a
4:00
Speaker 1: date to go to. We started searching the store. Paul
4:04
Speaker 1: was walking casually while I searched for that woman frantically.
4:07
Speaker 1: I even called out to her, ma'am, where are you.
4:11
Speaker 1: We are about to close the store, Please come out.
4:15
Speaker 1: But no sign of her. We came back to the entrance.
4:18
Speaker 1: I still couldn't shake off that memory of seeing her
4:20
Speaker 1: chewing her hair. When I heard a gasping sound. My
4:23
Speaker 1: eyes went to Paul, who was standing right beside me.
4:25
Speaker 1: I noticed his face turning pale with an unknown fear.
4:28
Speaker 1: His eyes were stuck at something ahead of us. As
4:31
Speaker 1: I followed his eyes, I found that same woman standing
4:35
Speaker 1: in front of us, but this time there was definitely
4:38
Speaker 1: something wrong with her.
4:39
Speaker 2: Her eyes were turned inside her head, revealing the white area.
4:43
Speaker 2: It was so scary. For that moment, it felt like
4:46
Speaker 2: she had no eyeballs.
4:48
Speaker 1: She was breathing heavily while making a groaning sound. I
4:51
Speaker 1: whispered to Paul in a low voice, she's the one
4:54
Speaker 1: I was talking about. Paul took a step ahead and said,
4:57
Speaker 1: in a fumbling voice.
5:00
Speaker 2: Are you all right? Shit?
5:03
Speaker 1: We called for an ambulance. She didn't reply, and then
5:06
Speaker 1: smiled at us in the eeriest way possible. I took
5:09
Speaker 1: up my phone and started dialing paramedics because it was
5:11
Speaker 1: clear by then that this woman is not in the
5:14
Speaker 1: best shape. I was about to make the call when
5:17
Speaker 1: the woman started to choke. She was choking all the
5:19
Speaker 1: air and gagging in pain. It was as if something
5:22
Speaker 1: is stuck in her throat. Her gags soon transformed into
5:25
Speaker 1: horrible coffee, and Paul and I just stood there cluelessly.
5:29
Speaker 1: We had no idea what was happening to her, and
5:31
Speaker 1: we were so much taken aback by this terrible sight
5:33
Speaker 1: that we forgot to act on it. She slowly crouched
5:36
Speaker 1: down on the floor while coffee and gagging. Oh my god,
5:39
Speaker 1: she's about to vomit, Paul said in disgust. But what
5:43
Speaker 1: happened afterwards none of us expected to see. The woman
5:46
Speaker 1: shoved her index finger inside her mouth and started to
5:49
Speaker 1: pull something out of her throat. It was a freaky,
5:52
Speaker 1: scary sight to watch. After a few seconds of suffering
5:55
Speaker 1: like this, something actually started to come out of her mouth.
5:58
Speaker 1: Once she took her fingers from her we saw what
6:01
Speaker 1: it was. Believe me or not, that woman pulled out
6:04
Speaker 1: almost a ball of hair strings from her throat. Yes,
6:08
Speaker 1: all that hair she ate back. Then she pulled it
6:10
Speaker 1: out from her stomach. I can't tell you how slimy
6:13
Speaker 1: and filthy it all looked. But there we were, watching
6:16
Speaker 1: this awful scene like statues. After discharging a pile of
6:20
Speaker 1: saliva covered hairballs from her mouth, she got up and
6:23
Speaker 1: turned to Paul. Her inverted eyes turned back to their
6:26
Speaker 1: normal shape, and she said, please help me. She's trying
6:30
Speaker 1: to replace me. Who what do you mean, Paul asked her,
6:35
Speaker 1: But before she could reply, something inside of her started
6:38
Speaker 1: to break her bones from within. Her body was bending upwards,
6:41
Speaker 1: the downwards, sideways, and in every direction possible, like crazy,
6:45
Speaker 1: while her bones snapped. It was a scene from an
6:48
Speaker 1: exorcist movie, and we had no idea what the hell
6:50
Speaker 1: was going on with it. I didn't wait anymore and
6:53
Speaker 1: called the paramedics. Paul screamed in fear as neither of
6:57
Speaker 1: us were able to witness this woman turning into a
6:59
Speaker 1: vegetable with her ohones breaking one after the other. By
7:02
Speaker 1: the time the paramedics reached us, she was lying on
7:05
Speaker 1: the floor, wrapped and folded like a garbage dash and
7:07
Speaker 1: barely breathing. Her eyes were popped from its sockets, with
7:11
Speaker 1: enormous pain and fear. Even though she was taken to
7:14
Speaker 1: the hospital, she couldn't be saved. Paul took a leave
7:17
Speaker 1: to get a shit together and didn't discuss a word
7:19
Speaker 1: about that woman or that night to anyone. But I
7:22
Speaker 1: couldn't just let this matter go. A few days later,
7:26
Speaker 1: I went to the hospital she was being taken to
7:28
Speaker 1: and asked a nurse about her. I had to give
7:31
Speaker 1: quite a description of her condition, as the nurse recognized, oh,
7:35
Speaker 1: you mean miss Ruby. Yeah, it was bound to happen anyway.
7:39
Speaker 1: I obviously got pretty shocked with that kind of reply
7:42
Speaker 1: and asked, what why are you saying that? The nurse
7:46
Speaker 1: told me she knew this woman from her neighborhood. Ruby
7:49
Speaker 1: lived close to her house. She had no family and
7:52
Speaker 1: was on her own, and she worked as a medium
7:54
Speaker 1: in seances. The nurse also told me her profession took
7:58
Speaker 1: a huge toll on her and that in her last
8:01
Speaker 1: seance she got very sick as the spirit denied going back.
8:05
Speaker 1: I understood why she said someone is trying to replace
8:07
Speaker 1: her that night, all her spooky behaviors were the result
8:10
Speaker 1: of being possessed. I don't know if all that is
8:13
Speaker 1: true or she was just a very sick individual, but
8:16
Speaker 1: trust me, the way Paul and I witnessed her bones breaking,
8:19
Speaker 1: it has to be some evil force lurking inside her
8:22
Speaker 1: at that moment. There's no human on earth who can
8:24
Speaker 1: break his or her own bones like that. Often at night,
8:28
Speaker 1: I woke up imagining those snapping sounds and her gagging
8:31
Speaker 1: voice trying to ask for help as the uninvited guest
8:34
Speaker 1: took over her body.
8:40

8:43

Speaker 3: mind later.
9:12
Speaker 1: I was going through my shopping cart when my eyes
9:14
Speaker 1: went to a girl standing near the counter. She was
9:17
Speaker 1: scanning the entire Target store with her nervous eyes. It
9:21
Speaker 1: was near closing gowers, hence the store had very few customers.
9:24
Speaker 1: There were two other people at the counter. The manager
9:27
Speaker 1: was a fifty year old man with a sharp face.
9:30
Speaker 1: I noticed him staring at the girl with a not
9:32
Speaker 1: so gentleman look. The girl was wearing a flower printed
9:35
Speaker 1: short skirt and a red tank top. Honestly, she was attractive,
9:40
Speaker 1: and I immediately realized why she felt uncomfortable standing near
9:43
Speaker 1: that counter. It was clear from her face that she
9:45
Speaker 1: was hesitating to approach the man at the counter. Once
9:48
Speaker 1: those two people left the store, the girl moved her
9:51
Speaker 1: car away and started going back to the store shelves again.
9:54
Speaker 1: I couldn't help but ask her, Hey, is everything all
9:57
Speaker 1: right to it? She replied, yeah, I just forgot to
10:01
Speaker 1: get some snacks. I could have just bought my stuff
10:04
Speaker 1: and left the store, Bud. I decided not to leave
10:06
Speaker 1: the girl alone with this weird dude at the counter.
10:09
Speaker 2: Care for billing.
10:10
Speaker 1: The man at the counter asked in a rough voice, no,
10:14
Speaker 1: I would just wait for her to come back, I replied,
10:16
Speaker 1: pulling my cart aside. Needless to say, he wasn't happy
10:20
Speaker 1: at all as I robbed him of one chance to
10:21
Speaker 1: be alone with an attractive girl and make her uncomfortable
10:24
Speaker 1: in every possible way. I did what I felt I
10:27
Speaker 1: should have done for my sister if she was in
10:29
Speaker 1: place of that girl. After waiting ten minutes, when the
10:32
Speaker 1: girl didn't come back, I started to look for her.
10:35
Speaker 1: I went straight to the snacks area where the girl
10:37
Speaker 1: mentioned making a check Bud. There was no one standing
10:40
Speaker 1: in the empty passage. I was wondering if she left
10:43
Speaker 1: using the back door out of panic, when suddenly I
10:46
Speaker 1: noticed her cart parked at the end of the passageway.
10:49
Speaker 1: Why did she leave her shopping cart like this? I
10:51
Speaker 1: looked here and there, but didn't see her. I started
10:54
Speaker 1: searching for her in the empty store.
10:56
Speaker 2: Light.
10:56
Speaker 1: Rain was going outside, and the murmur of thunder hinted
10:59
Speaker 1: towards an upcoming storm. I was already late, so when
11:02
Speaker 1: I didn't find her, after searching for almost fifteen minutes,
11:05
Speaker 1: I gave up. I was heading back towards the counter
11:08
Speaker 1: when a huge lightning struck nearby as the power went out.
11:11
Speaker 1: The storm has begun. Heavy winds blew like crazy, making
11:15
Speaker 1: the storage glass wall tremble with its pressure. Hello, anybody.
11:21
Speaker 1: I took up my phone and turned onto the flashlight.
11:23
Speaker 1: I heard a soft whimper behind me and turned back.
11:25
Speaker 2: Right At that.
11:26
Speaker 1: Moment, the girl was standing there. She was covered in
11:29
Speaker 1: sweat and tears rolled down from her eyes.
11:32
Speaker 2: He locked us inside. What Who the man at the counter.
11:37
Speaker 2: He's a freak. He had a gun. I've seen it.
11:40
Speaker 1: I had no idea about whatever she was saying. I
11:43
Speaker 1: looked at my phone and saw there was no network.
11:46
Speaker 1: The phones aren't working right. How did you He is
11:50
Speaker 1: probably looking for me now he's going to kill us both.
11:53
Speaker 1: I couldn't decide what to do at that moment. The
11:56
Speaker 1: girl was saying really scary things about that guy at
11:58
Speaker 1: the counter. I had to act on this matter, so
12:01
Speaker 1: I decided to check the exit first. She said, the
12:04
Speaker 1: man locked the exit, But why would he do that?
12:07
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he appeared like a weirdo to me,
12:10
Speaker 1: and yeah he was trying to flirt with that girl,
12:13
Speaker 1: but is he really a killer roaming around this empty
12:15
Speaker 1: target store. I calmed myself down and said to the girl,
12:19
Speaker 1: we should go to the front door and check if
12:21
Speaker 1: we can open it. Also, we have to get out
12:24
Speaker 1: and call nine one one. There's no signal inside the store.
12:28
Speaker 1: The girl nodded her head and started to follow me.
12:30
Speaker 1: We were walking side by side. There was pin dropped silence,
12:34
Speaker 1: and in that huge store, I felt like we were
12:37
Speaker 1: going to get lost in the dark. The storm was
12:39
Speaker 1: roaring outside, and I could hear the nervous breathing of
12:42
Speaker 1: that girl. I wasn't able to figure out which way
12:45
Speaker 1: is the main door in that excessive darkness. Also, my
12:48
Speaker 1: mobile's battery was draining out. I gave my phone to
12:51
Speaker 1: the girl and said, you wait here, I'll go grab
12:54
Speaker 1: a flashlight. We were walking amidst the hardware section. I
12:57
Speaker 1: could almost see flashlights hanging, so I walked the head
13:00
Speaker 1: and grabbed one. I was about to walk back to
13:02
Speaker 1: her when someone grabbed me from behind and pulled me aside.
13:06
Speaker 1: Whoever it was placed a hand on my mouth so
13:08
Speaker 1: that I couldn't scream. It was a strong hand, and
13:11
Speaker 1: it pinned me on the other side of the huge shelf.
13:14
Speaker 1: Out of shocking panic, I turned on the flashlight and
13:17
Speaker 1: it was him, the weirdo from the cash counter. His
13:20
Speaker 1: eyes were wide and blood was dripping from a cut
13:23
Speaker 1: on his forehead. He spoke in a low but a
13:25
Speaker 1: panicked voice. We must get out of here. That girl
13:29
Speaker 1: is out of her mind. I was extremely surprised to thinking,
13:33
Speaker 1: what the hell is he talking about? He is the
13:35
Speaker 1: one who chased her like a killer. The man took
13:38
Speaker 1: his hand off from my mouth. What are you saying?
13:42
Speaker 1: She told me you're the one who is trying to
13:44
Speaker 1: kill her. What she's the one who attacked me? She'll hey,
13:49
Speaker 1: did you get the flashlight?
13:51
Speaker 2: Hurry up?
13:51
Speaker 1: We need to go. I saw the girl walking towards
13:54
Speaker 1: us with my phone in her hand. As soon as
13:56
Speaker 1: she reached close, the power came back and I found
13:59
Speaker 1: myself stick between the man and that girl. They both
14:02
Speaker 1: saw each other and their faces turned pale. Will anyone
14:06
Speaker 1: tell me what's to deal?
14:07
Speaker 2: With you too.
14:08
Speaker 1: This man said that you attacked him. What look at him?
14:12
Speaker 1: Look at me. He's lying. Didn't you see how he
14:15
Speaker 1: was checking me out at the counter before. He is
14:17
Speaker 1: the reason why I scared off that moment. Oh my god,
14:20
Speaker 1: she is such a lying bitch. I'm telling you, Please
14:23
Speaker 1: believe me. I saw her lunge over that dead body
14:26
Speaker 1: in the storeroom. That's when she tried to attack me.
14:29
Speaker 1: She's the one who hit me on the forehead with
14:31
Speaker 1: a spanner. I don't have a single drop of blood
14:34
Speaker 1: on my hands, you murderer. Don't trust him. Now, think
14:37
Speaker 1: about my situation. I had no idea what these two
14:40
Speaker 1: were saying, so to get my head straight, I asked
14:43
Speaker 1: them to take me to that body in the storeroom.
14:46
Speaker 1: The man walked ahead and I followed him, for not
14:48
Speaker 1: having any other option. The girl went on saying how
14:51
Speaker 1: I should not listen to him, but I had to
14:53
Speaker 1: consider both sides. When we reached near the storeroom, the
14:57
Speaker 1: man opened it and one got saying, look there it is.
15:01
Speaker 1: There was indeed a bloody body of a young woman
15:03
Speaker 1: on the floor. Her mouth was slid open in a
15:06
Speaker 1: pretty gruesome manner. It was so violent that one could
15:09
Speaker 1: barely stand the sight. Her eyes were jumping out from
15:12
Speaker 1: the sockets and blood was everywhere. Oh my god. We
15:16
Speaker 1: need to call the cops. Yes, and put this man
15:19
Speaker 1: in jail for what he did. What me, I didn't
15:23
Speaker 1: do anything. You're the one sitting near this body. I'm
15:26
Speaker 1: gonna tell the cops what I saw. Yeah, obviously, because
15:30
Speaker 1: I found her when I went back to get those snacks.
15:33
Speaker 1: So you mean she was already dead when I immediately hit
15:36
Speaker 1: the guy in the head with all my strength.
15:39
Speaker 2: He fell on the floor.
15:40
Speaker 1: Screaming and got the top of his lungs. You were right,
15:44
Speaker 1: he is the murderer.
15:45
Speaker 2: Let's go.
15:46
Speaker 1: We have to find a way out. I was telling
15:48
Speaker 1: you he is the one. Thank you so much for
15:50
Speaker 1: trusting me over him. I found the woman in the storeroom.
15:54
Speaker 1: I swear I was just checking her out, and when
15:56
Speaker 1: I turned back, I saw this guy standing behind me
15:59
Speaker 1: with an evil lie on his face. I mean, he
16:02
Speaker 1: was behaving really odd. The moment I entered the store,
16:04
Speaker 1: he came at me. So I grabbed a spanner from
16:06
Speaker 1: the storeroom and hit him in my defense. Trust me,
16:10
Speaker 1: I just did that to save myself. That's when the
16:12
Speaker 1: power went out. I met you all freaked out. Yes,
16:16
Speaker 1: I trust you, don't worry. I took the girl towards
16:19
Speaker 1: the interest and told her to wait near the door.
16:22
Speaker 1: There were two locks of that door. I walked straight
16:24
Speaker 1: to the counter and picked up a key chain full
16:26
Speaker 1: of keys. The girl stood beside me and I opened
16:29
Speaker 1: the first lock of the door. She said in a
16:32
Speaker 1: relieved voice, Thank god, we will finally be able to
16:35
Speaker 1: get out. I thought this night would be the But
16:39
Speaker 1: she didn't finish her sentence. She started to step back
16:42
Speaker 1: nervously again. How did you guess the key writing at
16:45
Speaker 1: the very first attempt?
16:47
Speaker 2: What?
16:47
Speaker 1: How did you find the right key at the first attempt? Look,
16:51
Speaker 1: I really don't know what you're trying to say. It
16:53
Speaker 1: was just a wild guess. You're the one who killed
16:55
Speaker 1: that woman, right, and now now you killed that man too?
17:01
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he was telling the truth.
17:05
Speaker 2: Well. I couldn't lie to her anymore.
17:08
Speaker 1: I was anyway going to take her to some unknown road,
17:11
Speaker 1: slash her neck and dump her body in the woods.
17:14
Speaker 1: Then why not do it now? I gave her a
17:16
Speaker 1: friendly smile, but she still didn't stop being afraid of me.
17:20
Speaker 1: I tried to calm her down, but she made me
17:22
Speaker 1: chase her the entire store. The more I laughed and
17:25
Speaker 1: tried to make things comfortable for her, the more she screamed,
17:29
Speaker 1: I mean, think about it. What other option do I have?
17:33
Speaker 1: I was returning home after finishing my final kill of
17:36
Speaker 1: the night. I put the body of that woman in
17:38
Speaker 1: the storeroom. It was all set to leave. My intentions
17:42
Speaker 1: were all good. I knew that man was being a creep,
17:45
Speaker 1: so I waited for that girl. But look at this dumbach.
17:49
Speaker 1: She had to go back and sneak into the storeroom
17:51
Speaker 1: for no fucking reason. She had to find that body.
17:55
Speaker 1: I could have already hit her from behind when she
17:57
Speaker 1: lunged on the dead body and watched it with skins eyes.
18:00
Speaker 1: If not, the man came in the same direction. I
18:03
Speaker 1: hid behind the shelf and watched that entire drama unfold.
18:08
Speaker 1: None of them had a single idea that I am
18:10
Speaker 1: the predator and.
18:12
Speaker 2: They were my prey. But no regret. Three kills instead
18:16
Speaker 2: of one not bad, huh.
18:19
Speaker 1: All I have to do now is dump these three
18:21
Speaker 1: bodies inside that storeroom, then destroy the security footage and
18:25
Speaker 1: drive home. Can't wait to finally enjoy a long shower
18:29
Speaker 1: with a glass of wine before going to bed tonight.
18:37
Speaker 1: I was tan that my sister was six or seven
18:39
Speaker 1: years old when this incident happened. We lived in a
18:42
Speaker 1: small suburb with less entertainment. The only thing we looked
18:45
Speaker 1: forward to was the weekends, because on weekends our mom
18:49
Speaker 1: took us to the city park and then for a
18:51
Speaker 1: small shopping trip where we could get any toy or
18:54
Speaker 1: chocolate we wanted. There was a Target store across the
18:57
Speaker 1: city park where we used to go. Being a huge tark,
19:00
Speaker 1: it was our ideal spot to play all kinds of games.
19:03
Speaker 1: I still remember running among the highwaye shelves trying to
19:06
Speaker 1: catch each other. But being kids, we were naive. We
19:10
Speaker 1: had no idea that not everyone saw us like cute
19:13
Speaker 1: little children. Some saw us like prey too. After a
19:17
Speaker 1: hectic week at work, when Mom got some leisure the
19:20
Speaker 1: weekend came knocking around the door. I could tell she
19:23
Speaker 1: was too tired and needed rest, but my sister Martha
19:26
Speaker 1: was adamant to go to the Target store and by
19:28
Speaker 1: her long wished Barbie dial, Mom tucked us to bed,
19:31
Speaker 1: saying the next day she will take us there.
19:34
Speaker 2: Next morning, when I woke up, I found a mom
19:36
Speaker 2: lying sick on.
19:37
Speaker 1: Her bed, she caught the flu and instructed me not
19:40
Speaker 1: to go near her. I don't think I can take
19:42
Speaker 1: you out today. Let me call Grandma. She can take
19:45
Speaker 1: you to the park. There's some money on the kitchen counter,
19:48
Speaker 1: take it and have fun today. I nodded my head
19:52
Speaker 1: and Mom called Grandma, explaining the entire situation. Mom taught
19:56
Speaker 1: us to listen to her and not wander around by
19:58
Speaker 1: ourselves being the big She set me in charge to
20:01
Speaker 1: take care of Martha. Within a half hour, Grandma pulled
20:05
Speaker 1: her car into our driveway and off the horn. Buy kids,
20:09
Speaker 1: have fun. Listen to Grandma. Mom bid us goodbye, and
20:12
Speaker 1: we ran outside. I sat on the passenger seat and
20:15
Speaker 1: Martha sat at the back. Grandma told us funny stories
20:19
Speaker 1: on our way to the park, and we began the
20:20
Speaker 1: day cheerful laughter. When we reached the park, we saw
20:24
Speaker 1: other kids running here and there. The park was an
20:27
Speaker 1: ideal spot for family picnics, so lots of people used
20:30
Speaker 1: to come there. Martha ran to the swing and I
20:32
Speaker 1: followed her. After playing for almost two hours, I felt
20:36
Speaker 1: like getting a soda for myself. The Target store stood
20:39
Speaker 1: across the park. I walked to Grandma, who was sitting
20:42
Speaker 1: on the corner park bench and reading her book. Grandma,
20:45
Speaker 1: can we go to the store, Sure, but just wait
20:48
Speaker 1: some minutes. One of my friends is about to come.
20:51
Speaker 1: We'll go after meeting her. I had no problem waiting,
20:54
Speaker 1: but Martha was going crazy to buy her Barbie doll.
20:57
Speaker 1: She pulled my shirt and said, the store's right there.
21:00
Speaker 1: We can go and get it by ourselves. Grandma looked
21:03
Speaker 1: at me and nodded her head, saying, no, no, you
21:07
Speaker 1: two wait here. My friend will be here any minute.
21:10
Speaker 1: But my sister has always been a stubborn kid. She
21:13
Speaker 1: started kicking the mud and pleaded to Grandma to let
21:16
Speaker 1: us go. Being fed up with her tantrums, Grandma asked
21:19
Speaker 1: me if I could take her there and wait in
21:21
Speaker 1: the store. I replied I could. Martha and I started
21:24
Speaker 1: walking towards Target. Being a huge store, I often enjoyed
21:28
Speaker 1: exploring that place. Not to mention, the toy section was
21:32
Speaker 1: our favorite, but I liked wrooming around the entire store.
21:35
Speaker 1: As we entered the store, we realized it was indeed
21:38
Speaker 1: a weekend because people were all over the place buying groceries,
21:41
Speaker 1: food items, daily needs, and whatsoever. I held Martha's hand
21:46
Speaker 1: because I didn't want her to get lost. Amidst the crowd,
21:49
Speaker 1: we started walking towards the toy section, and Martha's.
21:52
Speaker 2: Face lit up in joy.
21:53
Speaker 1: She was ranting about how she is going to dress
21:56
Speaker 1: her Barbie once she takes her home. The toy section
21:59
Speaker 1: was comparatively empty considering the other departments. As soon as
22:03
Speaker 1: she saw barbie dolls stacked up on the shelves, she'd
22:05
Speaker 1: let go of my hand and rushed towards them. Don't run, Martha,
22:09
Speaker 1: I screamed, Look, there's so many of them.
22:13
Speaker 2: I will buy one on each birthday. Then I will
22:16
Speaker 2: have a room full of Barbies.
22:18
Speaker 1: Her eyes dazzled in excitement. I took out one barbie
22:21
Speaker 1: randomly and said, yeah, yeah, now, let's go buy this one.
22:26
Speaker 1: I will get a soda after that. I don't want
22:28
Speaker 1: that one. I put the barbie back and asked, in
22:31
Speaker 1: a tiring voice, then which one do you want?
22:34
Speaker 2: They're all the same, you know, no, they're not.
22:38
Speaker 1: She then pointed her fingers to a Barbie dressed in
22:40
Speaker 1: blue at a really top shelf, which was obviously out
22:43
Speaker 1: of my reach. I tried to grab that jumping two
22:46
Speaker 1: or three times, but they all failed. Just when I
22:49
Speaker 1: was thinking of looking for a target employee to help
22:51
Speaker 1: us out. A woman with a squeaky voice spoke to us,
22:54
Speaker 1: do you need help with that? I followed the voice
22:57
Speaker 1: and saw a woman standing in front of us. Woman
23:00
Speaker 1: her fasique was really well built. She had broad shoulders
23:03
Speaker 1: and too much makeup on her face. The red lipstick
23:06
Speaker 1: on her rough lips looked like dried bloodstains. She smiled
23:10
Speaker 1: with her yellow teeth and asked again, do you need
23:13
Speaker 1: help with that? Before I could say anything, Martha pointed
23:16
Speaker 1: to the top shelf, saying can you get that blue barbie?
23:20
Speaker 1: She slowly came close to us, and, without taking her
23:23
Speaker 1: eyes off me, grabbed the barbie.
23:25
Speaker 2: Here you go, little girl. Doesn't your brother talk much?
23:30
Speaker 2: Thanks for helping us. I see you talk really well.
23:34
Speaker 2: What is your name? Matthew? And that's my sister Martha?
23:39
Speaker 2: How sweet? You know what? Martha?
23:42
Speaker 1: I have so many beautiful dolls in my van. What
23:45
Speaker 1: do you like to come and take a look. You
23:48
Speaker 1: can get the ones you like for free. Maybe I
23:51
Speaker 1: was only ten years old, but I knew this woman
23:53
Speaker 1: is a stranger to us, and honestly I wasn't liking
23:56
Speaker 1: her at all. No thanks, we better get going. Our
24:00
Speaker 1: grandma will be here any minute. As soon as she
24:03
Speaker 1: heard me mentioning my grandma, her face changed. Oh, I
24:08
Speaker 1: thought you guys were.
24:09
Speaker 2: All by yourselves.
24:11
Speaker 1: I started to walk away, pulling Martha, but being the
24:14
Speaker 1: hyperactive kid, she replied, yeah, we are.
24:17
Speaker 2: Grandma is waiting for us in the park.
24:20
Speaker 1: I saw the woman's eyes sparkle with a weird joy.
24:23
Speaker 1: She once again gave her a dirty yellow smile and said, oh,
24:28
Speaker 1: I see, I'll see you around. Then I walked away,
24:32
Speaker 1: holding my sister's hand, without taking the conversation ahead. I
24:36
Speaker 1: looked back just to see if she is following us,
24:39
Speaker 1: and found her standing in the same manner, smiling at us.
24:42
Speaker 1: We reached near the cash counter and stood in line waiting.
24:45
Speaker 2: For our turn.
24:46
Speaker 1: There were four other people ahead of us, and I
24:48
Speaker 1: remembered I forgot to buy my soda. I told Martha
24:51
Speaker 1: to wait in line and rush to get my soda,
24:53
Speaker 1: can making my way among the crowd and cackle of people.
24:57
Speaker 1: When I finally got my soda, I realized Martha might
25:00
Speaker 1: be waiting there all by herself. I was walking fast
25:03
Speaker 1: to the cash counter when.
25:04
Speaker 2: A hand grabbed my shoulder.
25:06
Speaker 1: I turned around and saw Grandma where's your sister, she asked.
25:11
Speaker 1: I told her she is waiting for me near the
25:12
Speaker 1: cash counter. We both went there, but Martha wasn't there.
25:17
Speaker 1: Grandama and I both started to panic and informed the
25:19
Speaker 1: woman at the counter about my sister's sudden disappearance. They
25:23
Speaker 1: started announcing all over the store asking for Martha to
25:25
Speaker 1: meet us back here, but she was nowhere to be found.
25:29
Speaker 2: We searched the entire store with four.
25:30
Speaker 1: Employees, and I was terrified that something bad might have
25:33
Speaker 1: happened to her. The store manager called the cops, and
25:36
Speaker 1: that's when I remembered about that weird looking woman. I
25:40
Speaker 1: told the cops how she was trying to take her
25:42
Speaker 1: to her minivan, saying she had lots of dows inside it.
25:45
Speaker 1: The police rushed through the Target parking lot and covered
25:47
Speaker 1: it from all sides. Thankfully, they found this damp, rusty
25:51
Speaker 1: black minivan parked at the dark corner. The van was
25:54
Speaker 1: shaken violently and a cry of a kid was coming
25:57
Speaker 1: from it. My Grandma held me back so I couldn't
25:59
Speaker 1: see what those cops saw once they opened the back
26:01
Speaker 1: door of the mini van. Years later, when I grew up,
26:05
Speaker 1: my mother told me all about it. The woman was
26:07
Speaker 1: actually a man dressed like a woman. The cops caught
26:11
Speaker 1: him while he was tying up my sister with barbed
26:13
Speaker 1: wat Not just that, there were two other small girls
26:16
Speaker 1: inside that van. They were heavily sedated, and there's no
26:19
Speaker 1: doubt he abducted those two kids too. But once they
26:22
Speaker 1: checked the front seat, they met with an even uglier side.
26:26
Speaker 1: There was a woman lying on that seat with her
26:28
Speaker 1: face cut off with a sharp knife. Her hair was
26:31
Speaker 1: pulled out and formed into a wig. Her mutilated face
26:34
Speaker 1: was lying on the dashboard of the car with heavy
26:37
Speaker 1: makeup put on it. So basically, when we met that man,
26:40
Speaker 1: he was wearing this dead woman's face, which is why
26:43
Speaker 1: he looked so weird to me. The man was arrested
26:45
Speaker 1: with the charge of kidnapping, abduction, and murder. This woman
26:49
Speaker 1: was his wife, who used to help him by learning
26:51
Speaker 1: kids into his van, but with time she demanded to
26:54
Speaker 1: be free of this inhumane profession and might have threatened
26:57
Speaker 1: the man to stop or she would go to the cops.
27:00
Speaker 1: What creeps me to the core is that this man
27:02
Speaker 1: not just killed his wife to shut her mouth, he
27:05
Speaker 1: even decided to use her face to appear like a
27:07
Speaker 1: woman in front of kids.
27:09
Speaker 2: And trust me, his plan did work to some extent.
27:12
Speaker 1: When I went to get a soda, he approached my
27:14
Speaker 1: sister again and lured her into his trap. If you
27:17
Speaker 1: ask me, I don't think that man did all these
27:20
Speaker 1: Cruciomacs just for money. He is a six psycho and
27:23
Speaker 1: I'm glad he is going to rot in prison for
27:25
Speaker 1: the rest of his life.
