00:07:47
says hi I'm a big fan of True Crime and I love listening to your podcast so thanks for all the wild stories you're
00:07:53
welcome you're welcome and thank you for listening to our podcast on a Saturday morning in 2008 my mom her partner I'm
00:08:01
gonna call him D because I'm not sure if he wants me to share his name and I we're sitting in the kitchen making
00:08:06
coffee I was seven at the time and we were waiting for a friend of my mom's who was bringing her son over to have a
00:08:11
playdate with me since we were expecting them any minute my mom had left the front door wide open and just told them
00:08:16
to come in when they arrived as she was waiting for the coffee to be ready we all heard a noise in the Next Room and
00:08:22
my mom got up to see if it was our friends a second later we heard her scream Dee got up to see what was wrong
00:08:28
and I followed him we walked into the living room and saw a man in a ski mask with one arm around my mom and a gun to
00:08:35
her head and this is just a Saturday morning this is a morning they were just making coffees he told me indeed to lay
00:08:42
down on the ground face down and then made my mom find something to cover us oh my God she pointed to a laundry
00:08:48
basket with a sheet inside and right before covering both of us he told me that if I made a sound he would kill my
00:08:54
mom oh my God and you're seven oh my god oh then he told her he would shoot me and her partner if she didn't do what he
00:09:01
said after that I couldn't see what was happening but I could hear the conversation my mom reflexively started
00:09:07
talking non-stop asking him what he wanted she said that we didn't have any cash in the house but if he wanted money
00:09:12
he could take her ATM card and take out as much cash as he needed she even suggested that he should look in my room
00:09:18
since I had a couple piggy banks full oh my God this is destroying my soul I want
00:09:22
this man to get the [ __ ] kicked out of him within an inch to of his life yeah I'm so angry right now what the hell
00:09:29
this is insane I remember my dumb seven-year-old self being a little annoyed that she was volunteering my
00:09:36
precious piggy banks to this man without even asking me but then the Intruder got
00:09:40
angry hit my mom in the head with the gun and pulled her into my bedroom which was across a small hallway from the room
00:09:46
that we were in he pushed her against the wall oh my God and pulled off her pants oh my God my mom said that
00:09:53
although she was facing the wall she sensed him momentarily put his gun down as he reached to unbutton his pants this
00:10:00
is when her badass Mama instincts kicked in and she knew that it was her moment to get away and save us my mom being a
00:10:08
bad [ __ ] and trained in Krav Maga and self-defense kicked behind her and smashed in his kneecap so he could hell
00:10:16
yeah so he fell down and could not get up help I've fallen and I could not get up don't help him don't help she then
00:10:22
ran out of my bedroom and slammed the door behind her and held the door shut with both hands and her body and her
00:10:28
whole body weight while screaming to her partner to take me and run for your life
00:10:32
God he was gonna do this in a seven-year-old child's bedroom with her in the morning like who the [ __ ] is this
00:10:41
piece of [ __ ] hopefully he I hope he's dead oh my God Jesus Christ he picked me
00:10:46
up and ran out the back door of the house screaming call the police and didn't put me down until we reached the
00:10:51
gate my mom stayed in the house holding the bedroom door shut until she knew we'd made it out safely I kept looking
00:10:56
back at the back door and it was a really scary moment because I wasn't sure if I would see my mom again until a
00:11:03
few seconds later she ran out of the house in her nightgown yeah I stood in place wanting to wait for her but she
00:11:09
screamed at me to keep going so I turned around and I ran faster than I've ever ran before she caught up we all kept
00:11:15
running and halfway down the block we ran into our friend's house who were casually strolling toward our house for
00:11:20
a Saturday morning play date and breakfast imagine their shock when they realized that we were running away from
00:11:26
an armed Intruder they turned around and we all booked it to the nearby grocery store where we met were met by the
00:11:31
police they drove us back to our house in the back of a police car but by the time we got there the attacker was gone
00:11:38
no there were cops in the house for the rest of the day dusting for fingerprints
00:11:42
and Gathering evidence they asked the same questions over and over and over again to me my mom and Dee and they took
00:11:49
me to a child psychologist to be interviewed again my mom was called in for a few lineups but not able to
00:11:54
identify him because he'd been wearing a ski mask they never found him and it has
00:12:00
remained the [ __ ] up are you kidding me I'm sorry I'm so angry for your entire family like I'm raging just The
00:12:08
Invasion that that is alone and then like having to go to like that little like little you having to go to sleep in
00:12:15
your bedroom where that monstrosity almost occurred and it's like this person is a [ __ ] monster yeah he
00:12:23
walked into a house on a Saturday morning and tried to rape a woman in her seven-year-old daughter's room after
00:12:30
telling the seven-year-old I'll kill your mom if you make a sound he's a [ __ ] monster seriously I'm so angry I
00:12:37
hope he is dead a hundred percent oh my God in prison I hope oh God since then my mom and I have always
00:12:44
referred to the attacker as the guy whenever we talk about it I wrote this story down a while back planning on
00:12:50
sending it in but I ended up getting busy and forgetting to send it in but I'm so glad I didn't now because now I
00:12:56
have a boyfriend wait the attack happened in 2008 and it was a Cold Case until in 2016. stop the guy was pulled
00:13:06
over for a traffic violation and when the police took his fingerprints they found that they were already in the
00:13:12
[ __ ] system holy [ __ ] I added the [ __ ] fast forward to a few weeks ago it's May of 2022 now the guy
00:13:20
confessed and was convicted of a series of rapes within the same month in 2008 in the same neighborhood with a very
00:13:28
similar Mo piece of [ __ ] another crazy detail we found out is that this man is
00:13:34
currently 30 years old [ __ ] which means he was only 16 at the time of the attack my God it blows my
00:13:45
mind to think of a literal child committing all of these horrible crimes he's sentenced to 24 prints 24 years in
00:13:51
prison now after getting away with it for almost a decade he should be in there for longer yeah he should so
00:13:57

00:14:01

00:17:25
ridiculous traffic in my La commute bearable and for that I can't thank you enough oh oh and just a quick note on
00:17:32
our Trilogy it is no longer up at all not for subscribers of wondering Plus or anybody yeah
00:17:38
it shows up as like subscriber only it's not available for anyone we took it down
00:17:43
because we've evolved a lot and and we thought with the with the Evan Peters Dahmer I think we that was going on and
00:17:50
everybody it was very focused on that and I'm sure people were looking looking for episode podcasts to listen to about
00:17:55
the case and when we listen to it we just felt like we could do better yeah we just didn't we there were things like
00:18:02
we wouldn't have joked about now like I don't know it just didn't feel like us yeah no it didn't you know so we took it
00:18:08
down just as a way of being like you know what go elsewhere for your Dahmer yeah like you want other podcasts who
00:18:14
covered it way better than we did to get the views exactly we might revisit it at
00:18:19
some point and like you know do it the way we feel like we should do it but that's the reason I think some people
00:18:25
are confused about it yeah but it's not available anywhere like we just took it down this listener tale is from May of
00:18:31
last year yeah that's last year but we just wanted to clear that up in case you were like where the [ __ ] did that go
00:18:35
exactly uh yeah so maybe we'll cover it again it's just it's good to evolve and if you see you know yeah if you feel
00:18:42
like you can do something better you should do it better hell yeah brothers and I hope other podcasts got views
00:18:46
because of that me too so or listens I should say you're old I don't know either way but thanks for listening you
00:18:54
guys make the ridiculous traffic in my La can you bearable and for that I can't thank you enough I thank you for
00:18:58
existing you know LA traffic how the city's slow you know yeah I know Boston traffic that's for sure isn't it like
00:19:04
the worst in the world LA traffic or Boston no Boston is it the worst yeah I think we got like that honor this year
00:19:10
oh damn I always thought California was worse it's the worst in like the nation I'm pretty sure I mean that checks when
00:19:16
I used to have to drive into Boston every day it would take me like two and a half hours yeah it's no good so anyway
00:19:22
My Story begins when an Uber driver totals his car on the freeway thanks to a couch sitting in the middle of the
00:19:28
freeway and not enough room for him to swerve around it it's me I'm that Uber driver oh my God on the freeway anyways
00:19:35
here I am suddenly unemployed and without a car fast forward a couple of weeks and I find myself working at a
00:19:41
haunted Flooring Warehouse driving driving a forklift on the night shift wow how times have changed what a time
00:19:46
when I say this place was haunted I mean the guy that interviewed me told me on the tour of the warehouse that two
00:19:52
people have come around a certain Corner seen a girl in a white dress floating outside of the window on the second
00:19:57
floor and immediately quit that sounds beautiful though yeah so you know that solves the mystery of why there was a
00:20:03
job openings now I absolutely believe in ghosts I'm convinced my grandfather haunts the kitchen where he died in this
00:20:08
house but like in a friendly way I also saw a ghost once at a hotel in London when I was 16 but it was literally just
00:20:15
a quick flash like when Shelley Duvall goes up the stairs at the end of The Shining and sees the butler with the old
00:20:20
school furry but not as scary or weird I love you anyways obviously the terrifying girl did not
00:20:28
deter me from getting this job I also learned that there was a second ghost over there and I learned their origin
00:20:33
Stories the dude ghost was a former employee in his 50s died of a heart attack in the bathroom about 15 years
00:20:40
ago that's awful the girl however she was 16 and jumped in front of a train that went by on the tracks directly
00:20:46
behind the warehouse around the same time give or take a couple years well that's really really sad
00:20:51
the old heads on my team all told me that they'd never seen the girl but they had heard the guy whisper their names or
00:20:57
see hear random things falling here and there and I I myself experienced one of those after working there a few months I
00:21:04
was in the back putting away a load of flooring when at the end of the aisle I was working in alone one single box of
00:21:10
flooring fell off a pallet about 14 feet up whoa [ __ ] we think the guy was going
00:21:15
back to work and somehow knocking over real [ __ ] with his ghost forklift I love
00:21:20
that it's important to note that I've always tried to maintain a positive vibe with with Spirits if I suspect or know
00:21:26
that they're there that's smart anytime I do too I do that too yeah you know just be be kind and you'll get kindness
00:21:32
back exactly you know get what you give you sure do anytime I would find myself in that section of the warehouse I'd
00:21:38
call out some variation of hey ghosts I'm chill I just need to do something really quickly and I promise I'll leave
00:21:44
you alone I like that that's adorable and it seemed to work really well as they never showed themselves or really
00:21:49
scared me until one night I'm putting a Load Away that goes around that girl's cone Corner oh like I do literally every
00:21:55
time I say my usual Spiel this time though I see her she was on the ground instead of floating 10 feet above your
00:22:02
head like usual and in a white dress I didn't feel whatever those guys that immediately quit felt and she didn't
00:22:08
seem scary or gruesome at all she looked right at me and said get out she didn't
00:22:13
seem scared my whole body just went home holy [ __ ] [ __ ] you guys I I [ __ ] dipped yeah I turned to my happy little
00:22:22
ass right around and made a beeline zooming full speed at seven miles per hour on my forklift when maybe two
00:22:29
seconds after I saw a goddamn ghost an earthquake hits no like my night wasn't scary enough already oh she was telling
00:22:37
you to get it exactly I got another womb it's happening so I'm buzzing along as fast as my electric motor could carry me
00:22:45
joining the forming Convoy of my co-workers that were closer to the door than I was as we all gather safely in
00:22:52
the center of the yard all accounted for we chilled in the lot waiting for an Aftershock that never came smoking
00:22:57
cigarettes and bullshitting for 30 minutes before the safety team went in to check for damage and to make sure we
00:23:03

00:25:04
this down no because it's a lengthy ass rambling of a doozy I love those whoop I
00:25:10
will say I have told this story before on some platforms and details are different than before see each time I
00:25:16
tell it I open up a bit more about it the first few times was just I saw a ghost girl how spooky I think this will
00:25:22
be the first time I leave nothing out yeah going all in oh I am honored as [ __ ] right now call nerd Color Me honor
00:25:30

00:25:39
video then you don't know that video I think it was actually like before was it probably yeah I hope you're happy I hope
00:25:46
you're happy all right for some background I was practically raised in the theater oh hell yeah growing up my
00:25:51
parents worked at the local community theater and I got to work on a lot of shows in different areas that's cool I
00:25:56
did have a lot of experiences while there but I didn't realize a lot of it until I was older and understood that
00:26:01
that stuff it wasn't normal unfortunately or perhaps fortunately my scariest experience wasn't there those
00:26:09
are tales for another day that day is today please send them being the theater kid I was I decided to get my degree in
00:26:15
theater education and become a theater teacher the theater theater during the university college still more
00:26:22
spooky things happened but again not the scariest so another day on those another
00:26:26
day another day um that just reminds me of the Madonna song when she's like I think another
00:26:32
time yeah yeah it's like her and Justin Timberlake my voice like betrayed my lack of confidence with that because it
00:26:41
was like yeah yeah for a second did you ever watch The Proud Family I did you sounded like
00:26:49
because he used to watch it okay yeah yeah that was me okay all right y'all that was a great comparison
00:27:00
deep cut it was okay during the years in college still more spooky things happened but again not the scariest so
00:27:09
another day on those I think I read that like oh yeah another day but during that
00:27:15
time it was Christ I'm sorry but during that time it was cemented that a theater is not a
00:27:21
true theater unless it's haunted oh I agree with that good or bad doesn't matter just need to go just need a ghost
00:27:27
I also agree now to the scary story during my last cement semester while completing my student teaching I
00:27:37
was at a high school [ __ ] something to me I was on a high school I was at a high school paired with a
00:27:47
fantastic cooperating teacher I'll call Bell not her real name seriously this woman is still my hero when it comes to
00:27:53
education about halfway through the semester I was getting bogged down and Grading as well as my own final project
00:27:59
for student teaching which ended up being over 50 pages of analysis and about 50 pages of supplements hell yeah
00:28:05
the band room was right next to our classroom and I remember struggling to focus during a planning period so Belle
00:28:11
told me I could go into the theater as it would be empty until our next class I take my veritable amount of paperwork
00:28:17
and lug it into the theater and decided to sit on the pitch shell to pause the spookies for a moment I
00:28:24
need to try and lay out how particular this theater how this [ __ ] I need to try
00:28:29
and lay out how this particular theater is well laid out and what the heck I mean by pitch shell thank you for that
00:28:34
because I was lost I have attached to janky drawing to try to help you visualize what I'm talking about so the
00:28:42
theater stage is raised off the ground floor by about five feet the pit where the orchestra plays is centered in front
00:28:48
with two open doorways that are usually curtained off during the performances with stairs leading about two to three
00:28:54
feet from the ground floor the top of the pit is usually cut uncovered during musicals but when there's not a musical
00:29:01
it is covered by a wooden by wooden boards that we called the shell hence pit show picture
00:29:09
other theater folk might have different names for it but that's what we called it at that particular theater so that's
00:29:15
her way of saying don't at me growing now back to the spookies I plopped down my workload and start trying to get
00:29:22
through it now I was facing out to the theater so my back is to the back of the stage I hear some heavy footsteps behind
00:29:29
me now thinking it was the man who helps us build the sets I turned around to greet him only to find no one there now
00:29:37
I try to be rational about things even with all my experiences as nine times out of ten it's something not spooky
00:29:42
it's the one time you have to watch out for so I try to convince myself it was maybe the base of the from the band room
00:29:49
but also knowing that that noise was very much a work boot walking across the stage I go back to work not even five
00:29:55
minutes later I hear the chains in the catwalk swinging no one could get up there it's locked but again my brain is
00:30:04
trying to say it's just the HVAC turning on no spookies here yeah I go back to work and get through a half a page of
00:30:10
homework responses when the light in the pit turns on this is a manual light no motion sensor no random switch backstage
00:30:18
the switch is in the pit the switch is in the pit I can see both entrances to the pit no one went down there but I can
00:30:26
definitely see the light on down there through the cracks between the boards feeling less sure it's nothing now I hop
00:30:33
off the stage to the ground floor level and I walk around to the entrance light definitely on and definitely no one down
00:30:39
there I think I said something to the effect of haha hazing the new teacher cute go on get out of there and go to
00:30:46
class I won't even write you up if you leave now but no one came out I waited another maybe 30 seconds before
00:30:52
turning the light off and hopping back onto the pitch shell and trying to get back to work now the next 10 minutes or
00:30:58
so are filled with footsteps behind me coming closer and closer and chain swings more loudly in the catwalk James
00:31:05
this is literally Jacob Marley oh my God yeah all up in this pit I don't like that
00:31:13
Jacob Marley all up in this [ __ ] it's true I feeling I'm feeling the tension but I really need to make a dent in this
00:31:21
paperwork so obliviousness is what must happen then the lights turn on again in the pit I just say out loud knock it off
00:31:28
and then the light goes off a beater two passes like goes on again I said knock it off a few seconds longer than the
00:31:35
last time before the lights go off again this time accompanied by a giggle no that's when I'm out yeah
00:31:43
at this point I'm both scared and pissed pissed because this could be some stupid
00:31:47
teenage prank that I'm falling right into let's be honest as much as I love working with teenagers they can be
00:31:52
vicious vicious creatures yeah and scared because it could be something completely different and that Primal
00:31:59
part of my brain was screaming danger I try to calm myself by organizing my mountain of work into manageable piles
00:32:06
uh it keeps me distracted for maybe three minutes with the noises continuing to get louder and closer then the lights
00:32:14
in the pit turn on off on off on off rapid fire what the anger went well and I jump back down to go to the entrance
00:32:21
of the pit now not my proudest moment but I do remember saying this as I reached from the last thing
00:32:27
listen here you little [ __ ] listen here you little [ __ ] like goes on and there
00:32:33
is standing a girl in her teens long auburn hair covering her face oh I don't like that wearing what looked like a
00:32:43
long white nightgown oh you need to go back to class now wow it's covering her face
00:32:52
that girl that's a full-on ghoul I tried to sound very authoritative but hadn't yet found my teacher voice I love that
00:32:57
this girl said nothing no movement at all no she's a ghost did you hear me you need to get back to class stop playing
00:33:03
with the lights again no movement no acknowledgment I would be sharting even she's like I'm dead like you can't mess
00:33:12
with me you can't tell me to go back to class my God I'm picturing this and I'm so freaked I hate this I'm also just
00:33:17
picturing you with your hair just me with my hair covering my face on a nightgown yeah now I'm freaked out but
00:33:23
the anger is slowly killing the fear as I honestly believed this was just some kid from the school playing a prank I
00:33:28
reached toward her and went to touch her shoulder saying starting to say listen here when her hand snapped up and
00:33:34
grabbed my wrist then before I could say anymore her head snapped up and oh boy oh let me tell you I wish I wish I could
00:33:45
forget her face I'm so scared stark white skin it is Elena like a porcelain doll lips slightly more pink
00:33:53
but still pale as hell I so black not like all black like you can see in the movies but just like all pupil no color
00:34:00
eyes oh she opened her mouth and let out this scream like I've never heard before or
00:34:06
since it's difficult to scribe but here's the best to describe but here's the best I got it was like every sound
00:34:13
possible combined so high it made my ears hurt but yet so low I felt my chest Rumble with it oh my God I am so
00:34:21
stressed out right now my whole body is wombing I have every Goosebump ever and all of my hair is literally standing up
00:34:28
Goosebumps have Goosebumps oh my God I yanked my arm free and she thankfully let go because no lie if she hadn't let
00:34:36
me go I wasn't going to get out of there I had a bruise on my wrist for a couple
00:34:40
days to even prove it I grabbed all my piles from the shell thankfully Within Reach and hustled on out of there back
00:34:46
to the classroom Belle gave me a funny look and asked if I was okay and I think I tried to pass everything off as it was
00:34:52
too quiet to work but being a good teacher she knew I was lying and I just said I got spooked just got into my own
00:34:58
head I was not about to tell this veteran teacher that a ghost girl scared the [ __ ] out of me nope that's a quick
00:35:04
way to get any potential credentials revoked but she already knew was it Dawn the monkey or the girl go or the ghost
00:35:11
girl she asked calmly what wait are those three separate things are they Dawn the monkey or the ghost crawlers
00:35:19
that Don the monkey I don't know I gotta know or the ghost girl what did you hear
00:35:25
footsteps the chains or Giggles so I think it's three damn she asked Justice calmly hey jaw meet Flores yeah same uh
00:35:34
all three and then some I mumbled each of the following question became more and more hesitant from her like she knew
00:35:41
what was coming but she didn't want it to come did you see her a nod for me did she touch you oh a hesitant nod oh my
00:35:50
God not so much a nod but like a singular body roll oh my oh my she then went on to explain a few things to me
00:35:58
the footsteps were those of dawn a nice older man type ghost who usually just wanted uh who was usually just around to
00:36:05
help and some of the students believe to protect others from the girl and the monkey oh now the monkey wasn't the
00:36:12
adorable primate the name conchers oh no but rather a thing in the catwalks that
00:36:16
would crawl and swing oh my God and cause Mischief at best or throw things and do its best to get people to go away
00:36:23
at worse a few students claim to have seen it but I hadn't for which I'm thankful and the
00:36:29
girl ghost a lot of people heard her few had seen her fewer had touched her accidentally or otherwise and about four
00:36:37
total had heard her scream what the [ __ ] she wasn't a bad Omen per se but it was
00:36:42
just a rarity oh my God that it but it was just such a rarity that it did make the teacher nervous she asked if I was
00:36:48
okay and I just Shrugged and I said I guess this is a real theater holy [ __ ] I
00:36:54
was never alone in the theater again always had a student or another teacher or adult with me according to kids oh my
00:37:00
God according to the kid thing kids things were a lot more active that semester a lot more stories of sounds
00:37:07
were more frequent I tried not to acknowledge it with the students but they knew I was hearing things too I
00:37:12
talked with a few of the students about the noises but I never spoke about what I saw it's not that I mind talking about
00:37:19
my experiences I think people should be able uh should be able to without any stigma but during that that time I felt
00:37:25
like I couldn't talk about it like if I did it would make things so much worse give it more power maybe whoa and you I
00:37:33
ended up graduating within teaching for about 10 years more spooky stories there
00:37:37
for yet another day that's that day girl it's today I ended up leaving due to the
00:37:42
pandemic and burnout which is a real thing in education everywhere but with education I can't
00:37:48
imagine I was able to reconnect with a lot of people from my past during the pandemic and found out more about the
00:37:54
experiences from my younger years which has brought a lot more questions for me personally wondering if I'm just a ghost
00:37:59
Beacon I say you are but that's an introspection for another day another day I still work with the local theater
00:38:06
getting my theater fix I still experience odd things both in theaters and out in the world but hey what can
00:38:12
you do stay weird but not so weird that a creepy ghost girl alerts you into a pit and scream at you while you a monkey
00:38:17
swings in the rafters and an old man just walks around from K holy [ __ ] K oh my God that was one of the scariest ever
00:38:26
that is wow especially because like what did she want I'm I am shook what do you
00:38:33
want from me I am truly shookus that's what I would have said oof wow I pictured that whole thing in my head and
00:38:40
now I'd like to get it out of my head oh yeah okay foreign [Music] and I'm really stressed out about it so
00:39:00
I'm gonna go to the next one it's called The Curious Case of Bonnie the Basset Hound Bonnie the Basset Hound which
00:39:07
that's delightful oh dear Elena and Ash kudos for the great podcast thanks my dog Bruce and I listened to it while we
00:39:15
take walks in the woods he couldn't give a [ __ ] but I love it I'm obsessed with
00:39:20
you kudos for a laugh within two seconds I love you so much already he couldn't give a [ __ ] but I sure love it so sorry
00:39:27
to hear about Bailey oh thank you I am a veterinarian and I was touched to hear all the staff at Bailey's Clinic
00:39:33
assisted you and your family with compassion oh I love I love you I love you for what you do oh hell yeah I'm
00:39:39
sure she's chasing rabbits and doggy Heaven she sure is because she has eyes now you don't have to use my name but
00:39:45
you can mention Bruce he's listening but he couldn't give a [ __ ] but he couldn't
00:39:49
give a [ __ ] so in 2010 I finally closed my companion animal veterinary clinic following 17 years of practice holy [ __ ]
00:39:58
I transferred my caseload to a neighboring Clinic run by a highly competent and compassionate colleague
00:40:03
she promised to take good care of my patients and was to become the veterinarian for my own pets because Dad
00:40:08
no longer ran a clinic I have since dedicated my career to teaching writing and Consulting and listening to weird
00:40:14
podcasts and I love every minute of every day I'm I love you you're delightful I'm so glad that you love
00:40:20
every minute of every day you too you absolutely you've earned it everyone should you may be wondering why the hell
00:40:26
I chose to hang out my stethoscope in the middle of my career I was going to ask that but there were many reasons
00:40:31
including wanting to spend more time with my girls who in 2010 were age 14 16 and 18 oh my God you got better and
00:40:38
better and my wife the love of my life I'm sobbing you're a wonderful human you are however one contributing factor
00:40:45
undoubtedly tipped the decision scale the fact here was my taffophobia which I didn't even know how to name before I
00:40:51
listened to episode morbid episode 253 buried alive well maybe not genuine tapophobia but definitely a weird
00:40:58
variation of it okay that was a crazy episode it all started when I was in my final year of vet school in 1993. the
00:41:06
last year of Veterinary studies is spent in clinical practice the students do rotations in various Fields getting
00:41:12
gaining hands-on experience preparing for finals and mostly trying to find random Snippets of sleep throughout the
00:41:18
day or night most of the rotations are done in the University teaching Hospital while on
00:41:23
duty the student receives all incoming cases does the initial intake and then leaves the room to consult with the
00:41:29
attending veterinarian on the case after that the student and teacher returned the owners to the owners who have been
00:41:35
anxiously waiting in the exam room with their ailing pet to complete the visit usually the hospital attracts the
00:41:41
unusual and challenging cases referred to by stumped vets in the community or brought in by owners who seek a second
00:41:47
opinion One Stormy afternoon while I was on Clinic Duty a cup a young couple was
00:41:53
sent into my examination room with a lovely seven-year-old female basset hound named Bonnie I love her after
00:42:00
introducing myself as a student in training and explaining the teaching hospitals procedure I asked them how I
00:42:05
can help Bonnie they told me that Bonnie was feeling fine and that they just wanted a complete checkup for her I told
00:42:11
them that this is a highly unusual request and reminded them that this is a teaching hospital that normally only
00:42:16
sees complicated cases they insisted on a routine physical and said we promise that after you complete the exam we'll
00:42:23
tell you why we're here that would freak me the [ __ ] out and I'd be like what am
00:42:27
I about to find inside of this dog that is ominous as [ __ ] we'll tell you why we're here I examined the droopy-eyed
00:42:34
Hound from her perfectly healthy nose to the tip of her wagging tail I listened especially hard to hear her beating
00:42:40
heart trying to pick up a subtle murmur or anything that might tell me why the seemingly normal dog had been brought in
00:42:46
to taunt me I was sure that I had overlooked some rare disorder but that at the end of my examination I concluded
00:42:52
that I could find nothing wrong with Bonnie I told them that I'm going to consult with my attending and that they
00:42:57
would both we would both be back momentarily after telling my teacher about the case we returned to the exam
00:43:02
room and the attending doctor performed a complete physical only to confirm much
00:43:07
to my relief that she could find nothing wrong with Bonnie she said that we could
00:43:11
run blood work but only after they tell us the reason for coming to an expensive
00:43:15
referral center with a seemingly healthy Pooch their story story was morbid as [ __ ] oh
00:43:21
that said so they said that the week before Bonnie was feeling weak and had started to limp on her hind leg the next
00:43:28
day she stopped eating and they took her to the neighborhood vet he examined her
00:43:32
and told them that she had Advanced incurable bone cancer and he recommended that they put her to sleep oh my God he
00:43:38
assured them that it was the Humane choice because she was suffering and it would only get worse they explained the
00:43:44
heartbreaking situation to their two small children and told them that Bonnie was very sick and that she will be with
00:43:49
Grandma in Heaven Bonnie was euthanized and buried by her family in the woods not far from their house no she wasn't
00:43:57
because um she's she's here right now my following the tragic and unexpected chain of events the family went on a
00:44:06
four day vacation to relax and mourn the loss of their beloved pet when they returned home
00:44:12
Bonnie was waiting for them on the front porch what what at first they assumed that a new
00:44:21
Basset Hound had miraculously adopted them but after visiting Bonnie's grave and finding it to be dug up with a torn
00:44:28
body bag they knew that Bonnie had either come back from the dead or had been buried alive the latter being the
00:44:35
more logical explanation oh my God holy [ __ ] she was hungry and had lost some weight but was otherwise perfectly
00:44:44
healthy what which is why they chose an advanced teaching hospital for her post-mortal checkup we never did figure
00:44:51
out what ailment had mimicked her misdiagnosed bone cancer because after running an additional battery of tests
00:44:57
she was declared perfectly healthy oh my God happy to have Bonnie back and after
00:45:03
explaining to the children that no grandma is not coming back they chose not to confront their now
00:45:09
ex-veterinarian on his malpractice which only include which included not only a reckless and false diagnosis but also a
00:45:16
failed attempt at euthanasia holy [ __ ] the case of Bonnie the resurrected Basset Hound haunted me from that day on
00:45:24
I am I don't even have words dug themselves out of their own grave oh my God and
00:45:32
that family and not well this isn't even done yet but that family had to think about the fact that they buried their
00:45:38
pet alive and that while they were on vacation he unburied himself she I would literally be thinking about that 24 7
00:45:45
that if that was Bailey I'd be like oh my God Bailey woke up in a body bag I know and had to dig herself out oh my
00:45:53
God holy [ __ ] I am just like I'm like flabbergasted right now oh okay so it says euthanasia of a pet is an act of
00:46:00
Mercy that we veterinarians are thankful to be able to perform when Justified yeah but every time we take a beloved
00:46:07
Pet's life a little part of us dies with it oh my practice was in a Royal rural area where most owners choose to bury
00:46:14
their pets so for me the emotional burden of Performing euthanasia was weighed down even more by the Deep
00:46:20
Terror that I would fought fear that I would fail and that the animal would be buried alive because of me no after
00:46:27
after every euthanasia I was a mess I had nightmares and couldn't sleep for days the image of Bonnie standing on the
00:46:33
porch to meet her grieving family wouldn't leave my mind my tafophobia phobia by proxy eventually brought me to
00:46:40
leave clinical practice a difficult decision but one that I'm totally happy with and which has brought me new
00:46:45
opportunities and Adventures so that's my story keep it weird but not so weird that you obsess about burying dogs alive
00:46:51
because of an [ __ ] veterinarian that kills dogs for no reason and can't even get that right oh my God holy [ __ ] like
00:46:58
that's a thing why did like why there was no I always thought like I was I'm always
00:47:16
in like I'm really Amazed by veterinarians that they can handle what they can handle when it comes to animals
00:47:23
and and I always thought about that like when they you know when Bailey passed away I was sitting there and I was like
00:47:29
uh we're grieving but this poor vet has to go back and finish their day at work after they just killed not like killed
00:47:37
but you know I mean like oh yeah they had to put this dog to sleep I know I've never actually even really thought about
00:47:41
that and that's like a huge responsibility and that's why like we made sure like when it happened we were

00:49:16
like the spooky spooky I will preface this with that I am absolutely a believer in most I just
00:49:22
can't get behind the idea of zombies but I'm open to someone to try to convince me things paranormal I love that I'm
00:49:28
open to a zombie trying to convince me I'm open to it I think there are some things in this world we can't explain
00:49:33
even in the height of this technological era there are still Mysteries that have
00:49:38
plagued Humanity for Millennia that we cannot explain I agree I was beautifully written I will say that this is not my
00:49:44
only encounter with the Paranormal I have several this is just the most recent it's called whose blood is it
00:49:50
anyways I wish that was a name to a quirky game show alas it is a burning question that
00:49:57
literally haunts me oh man what a game show that would be it's yeah right some background before I jump in setting
00:50:03
summer 2020. I am very pregnant with my first child congrats my husband and I purchased a home in my hometown as my
00:50:11
mom is going to watch the baby when we have to go back to work the house we purchased was in okay condition
00:50:16
definitely livable but the house had previously been a rental property and the last tenants before we purchased the
00:50:22
house left a mess and some damage to the home the home was built in the early 80s
00:50:26
so every room had lovely popcorn ceilings before we moved in we hired somebody to repaint every room and
00:50:32
scrape those ceilings this job was not quite finished before we moved in the master bedroom and the bathroom was
00:50:39
the last two to be painted and scraped so for the time being our bed and most everything was in the living room for
00:50:45
about two weeks until the contractor could finish the job so on to the good part my stepdad was
00:50:50
having a birthday party in town anyone who had a key to my house was at this party this will be important later I was
00:50:56
pregnant was the designated and was the designated driver for my husband after a
00:51:01
few hours I was tired and I wanted to go home a severe summer storm oh those are
00:51:05
my favorite I want a severe summer storm well one had blew through and all the many party guests were now stuck inside
00:51:13
we live in Texas for anyone who is curious and September is Peak tornado season so severe storms are common we
00:51:21
leave and I pull into the garage and my husband who has only had about three beers was still for the most part sober
00:51:26
we walked through the kitchen when I observe that there is blood splattered on the kitchen tile oh I think okay
00:51:33
maybe Carl our cat hurt herself Carl the cat Carl the cat I love it and I love that Carl is a woman yeah she's a woman
00:51:39
she's a woman yes she is a female cat named Carl I didn't question it I love that thing I am not getting any
00:51:47
explanation into that just yep I love it I love it so I as quickly as my pregnant
00:51:51
body would allow waddled into the living room to find more blood there was blood
00:51:56
spattered on the pool on the bed a blood trail across the living room until it finally created a small pool by the
00:52:02
front entrance what when I looked up I saw in disbelief that the front door was wide open this was weird as the doorknob
00:52:10
was still locked what so the best theory that we had was that the storm blew the
00:52:15
door open maybe an animal walked in and Carl fought it for all the female cat fighting it the only thing was Carl
00:52:22
darts out any open door for the oh my God I'm so sorry the only thing was Carl darts out any open door the second it's
00:52:29
opened and she was pleasantly sleeping in the guest room perched on a box unbothered nothing had been moved in the
00:52:35
house no valuables taken nothing out of place there was there were several electronic items in plain sight that
00:52:41
could have easily been stolen what before I could think straight I was I was full on Panic that the blood needed
00:52:47
to be cleaned it could not be on the floor obviously the reason set in then reason set in and I decided to call my
00:52:54
dad who's a retired police officer he immediately told me to call the police and get out of the house in case there
00:53:00
was still a person there I think that was good advice me too I would also give you that advice so we wait in my car
00:53:05
until the police show up they clear the house no one's inside and we're allowed back again they ask us some questions
00:53:11
most of which we have no answers for is we have no idea where this blood came from our cat's not injured nor do we
00:53:17
have any injuries they collect a blood sample and run a field test it is human blood what they swab several locations
00:53:25
and take the bloodstained sheet from our bed and tell us to call if anything happens what a few days later I get a
00:53:32
call from a detective telling me that she's just trying to close her case the blood was ran through whatever system
00:53:37
they had and there was no matches um I'd be like I don't live here anymore I feel like that's not the end of this
00:53:44
my friend it's not fast forward maybe a month my husband and I were painting our
00:53:48
office we step out of the house to go have lunch and there's a small blood splatter on the freshly painted wall
00:53:55
that was definitely not there before currently we find random blood every so often in random spots always small
00:54:03
nothing like the first time and we clean it and ignore it what there have been times in this house that I have felt
00:54:09
like I was being watched or just got the Shivers because I was feeling creeped out things have gone missing to return
00:54:14
and a not so obvious Place days to a week later other than the creepy feelings I have I've not had any
00:54:21
feelings of malice we ran a history check on the house and no one's died in the house the land is
00:54:26
not on an ancient burial ground we have no idea whose blood it is or even what it means it's very creepy and for the
00:54:33
most part I just like to pretend it didn't happen I can send pictures if you'd like yeah thanks for reading yeah
00:54:39
please do it please send pictures holy [ __ ] you just find random blood in your
00:54:45
