00:02:03
It's emails you send us. It's really great. And because it's squad gourd season, we're getting more and more spooky emails.
00:02:10
That's right. And Halloween themed emails, which I'm really enjoying. I don't have any of those this week.
00:02:15
Oh, really? Did I get them all? That's funny. Okay. Yeah. You want to go first? I have a really long one to start.
00:02:23
And then I have, okay. It doesn't matter. I just realized. We need to get this figured out.
00:02:28
I don't need to tell you the fucking timetables. What do you think? Ro, sham. Wait, wait.
00:02:35
Ro, sham, fo. That means you... I cover your rock with this paper. So do you want to go first or do you want to go second?
00:02:41
Oh, shit. We didn't decide what it meant. No more time. Go first. There we go. Like clockwork.
00:02:51
Like German clockwork. That's the best. This show. the subject line of this one is the one time i lied convincingly and it saved my life
00:02:59
hi mfm fam i was recently introduced to your podcast i've been listening daily for a couple
00:03:05
of months have had only two murder inspired nightmares so no regrets my hometown murder
00:03:12
uh happened in 2005 when i was 17 i'm from long beach california the part that borders compton so
00:03:18
i definitely have more than one hometown murder but this is the one that impacted me directly
00:03:22
It was three days before my senior year, and I had just picked up my textbooks from school.
00:03:27
I was walking down the sidewalk, middle of the afternoon, mind you. I was approached by a man, probably in his 50s.
00:03:33
We said hello. He asked me if I was a teacher at the school. I had grown up with people telling me that I seemed mature for my age, so the 17-year-old
00:03:41
me didn't think there was anything strange. The 31-year-old me knows otherwise. I told him no, I was just about to start my senior year.
00:03:49
Already too much information. Yep, doesn't need to know anything about you. Doesn't need to know shit.
00:03:53
You owe him nothing. He seemed so surprised by this, but there was something in that response which set me on edge.
00:04:01
So he told me that he thought that I was very beautiful, which was uncomfortable, but also dangerously flattering because I had incredibly low self-esteem.
00:04:10
Dude, I get it. Right? Me too. And pointed out the by the hour motel down the street.
00:04:17
Scumbag. After knowing that she's a senior in high school. Yes. He said he wanted to take me there.
00:04:23
It's 14 years later, and I will never forget every detail of the moment when he said, I'll make you feel real good.
00:04:30
I won't hurt you at all. There are bad men out there, but I'm not one of them. Blowing right past that invitation, I said, oh, I know there are definitely bad people out there.
00:04:40
My dad, he's a cop, will always drive around when he knows I'm out to keep an eye on me.
00:04:46
Do dads who are cops actually do this? I don't know. my dad's an electrician. God and the whole damn universe was on my side in that moment because
00:04:59
I had never before and never since lied so smoothly. I laugh when I'm nervous and I trip
00:05:05
over my words if I'm making anything up. But that just came out like it was as nonchalant as the guy
00:05:11
was. His response was, your daddy's a cop. I have to go and turned around and to head in the opposite
00:05:18
direction. I ran the rest of the way home. As soon as I turned the corner, glancing over my shoulder
00:05:23
to be sure I wasn't being followed, afraid of this guy knowing where I lived. Very smart. I told my
00:05:28
mom about what had happened and she wasn't happy about the experience. Almost was almost as surprised
00:05:34
by me by my sudden ability to lie. And that was that a few days later after dinner, my non-police
00:05:41
officer dad was watching the news. I was reading. So only half paying attention. My eyes flicked up
00:05:47
And on the split screen was a video of that very motel with crime tape across one room door and a mugshot of the man who had approached me on the street My mom shouting gibberish to distract me leapt to the remote to change the channel She wouldn answer me when I asked what was being said
00:06:05
but I can guess. Anyway, fuck politeness, learn to lie enough to save your life, stay sexy, and don't
00:06:11
get murdered. Aubrey. Aubrey. You should be so proud of yourself. Genius, Aubrey. Genius.
00:06:17
And you're wrong about you tripping over your words and not being able to say, like, that was you. Yeah, yeah.
00:06:22
Yeah, you know, exactly. We all have that strength within ourselves. You can trust yourself enough to know that you can protect yourself in those moments.
00:06:30
And that she and, you know, she could because she had that instinct. The second he started talking to her.
00:06:36
Yeah. Her insides were like, get the hell out of here and her. Her insides were like, let's get out of her.
00:06:42
Hey, her. Let's get out of here. This might be one of the craziest ones I've ever gotten.
00:06:50
Oh, and that's really saying. Yeah, it's kind of long. Okay. But I promise it's worth it.
00:06:54
Okay. Okay. It's called My Dad, Urban Legend or True Life Vigilante. Okay. It's intense.
00:07:03
Okay. Greetings from the Pacific Northwest. You're right about the insane amount of bizarre crimes and murders that happen near the Washington
00:07:09
and Oregon coast. In our small town, we have dozens of unsolved disappearances and crimes.
00:07:15
And I swear to God, last year, my neighbor cut off his own head with a chainsaw.
00:07:19
And then it says hashtag crystal meth. Oh, fuck. How do you do that? You got it.
00:07:25
Because you start, but then you have to keep going. Oh, maybe you. No. Okay. Throw yourself down.
00:07:31
We'll have to Google it. The hometown story I'm sharing with you has. Sorry, really quick.
00:07:37
Were you suggesting he threw himself down onto the chainsaw? Yeah, that's how you do it.
00:07:40
You go. No, that's horrible. Pick all of that out. It's all horrible. Okay, go ahead.
00:07:46
The hometown story I'm sharing with you has circulated throughout our small community for nearly 40 years.
00:07:51
In the early 1980s, my mother was attacked and raped at our home while my brother and I were at school.
00:07:56
Our mom, an easygoing neighborly hippie, heard a knock at the door and hollered, come on in, thinking it was one of her girlfriends visiting for morning coffee.
00:08:05
She was brutally beaten, raped, and the attacker hit her hard enough to break bones in her cheek and eye socket.
00:08:11
Oh, my God. Before he left, he warned her not to call the cops, and he threatened to hurt her children if she did, and he called us by our names, as he had obviously been stalking her for some time.
00:08:20
Fuck. I warned you. My mom called my dad as soon as the attacker left, and my dad rushed home and brought mom to the hospital.
00:08:27
There, she agreed to contact police, and because of the man's threat to us kids, our grandparents were called to pick us up from school and be brought to their house.
00:08:34
Of course, we wouldn't be told these details for many years. I was in kindergarten, and my brother was in middle school at the time, so we were told my mom had an accident at home and would be in the hospital for a while.
00:08:44
Yeah. When police had mom look through photos of known perps, she instantly recognized her attacker.
00:08:50
He had been arrested and convicted of attempted rape and assault in prior years, but was currently serving a jail sentence in a county jail hours away.
00:08:59
My mom was adamant, however, that the man in the picture was the man who raped her.
00:09:03
Our small town police officer argued with her and said it's impossible that he was the guy.
00:09:08
A few days later, however, my parents received a visit from the local sheriff. A mistake had been made, and the man that my mom had ID'd was, in fact, not just out of jail, but had failed to report to his parole officer for the last few days.
00:09:20
How about you fucking, instead of arguing, check into it. Right, right. All right, all right.
00:09:25
My mom was devastated, scared, and hysterical. But when she looked up at my dad, he had a smug, tight-lipped look on his face.
00:09:31
And he said, we don't have to worry about him. Uh-oh. Of course, most of the story has come to me from friends and relatives in bits and pieces.
00:09:39
But rumors went around for years that as soon as mom had recognized the man in the photograph lineup,
00:09:44
dad had driven hours away to the town he lived in, questioned and investigated anyone he could,
00:09:48
and took care of business that very next day. My brother has hinted to me that dad opened up to him one night
00:09:54
when they were having a heart-to-heart and confessed to it. Local drunks have started rumors about my dad burying the body in the woods,
00:10:01
sinking it in the river, using it in crab pots as bait, or hiding it in a car and pushing it over a cliff.
00:10:08
I do remember my mom's car being stolen about that same time. My dad passed away in 2017.
00:10:14
He was a lovely, kind, funny, compassionate man who was endlessly in love with my mom
00:10:19
and who everyone in our small town looked up to. I certainly never asked him about the attack on mom,
00:10:24
and in the back of my mind, I wondered if the guy really did just skip town or if dad had got to him before the police did.
00:10:30
About a year ago, I was sitting with mom when an old friend stopped by. It was the sheriff from our town, long since retired.
00:10:36
We all chatted about things for a bit, and he brought up the subject of the attack.
00:10:40
He must have assumed that I knew all the details because he started talking in depth
00:10:44
about an Oregon State prison inmate who had confessed to multiple rapes and attacks in the 1980s before dying in prison a few years ago.
00:10:51
He looked at my mom and said, he confessed to being in town, he knew the details of your attack,
00:10:56
and he even named the street you lived on. My mom's face was stoic, but she didn't make any comments, just nodded and kept drinking coffee.
00:11:03
After our friend left, I was still sitting there dumbfounded. I asked her, but dad, what about the guy? Was this the guy?
00:11:11
Or did dad really, my mom didn't give me any answers. So a few different scenarios could have happened.
00:11:17
One, dad killed the wrong guy. Two, dad killed the right guy. Three, dad didn't kill anybody and the rapist who died in prison was my mom's attacker.
00:11:26
Four, dad didn't kill anybody and the rapist who died in prison was not her attacker but had been given our street address.
00:11:31
Yikes. Or five, our sheriff friend wanted to squash any rumors of dad being a murderer, so he pinned this crime on a dead convict.
00:11:38
My brother's in his mid-40s now and still adamantly argues that dad really did murder the man who mom ID'd in the photo
00:11:44
He said to me about it, sis, best case scenario, two rapists are dead Thanks for reading
00:11:50
I might be the only fan who listened to your book on Audible before even knowing about the MFM podcast I just spent the last few months catching up on all the episodes Thanks for all you do sis Wow Is that the most intense fucking one
00:12:05
Fuck. I know. I mean. And there's no, you can't tell who it is or where it is or any of those details and the
00:12:13
dad's dead. So like. It's all history. It's all history. But at the same time, it's that kind of thing where it's, I don't know.
00:12:23
It's those family stories. and family rumors. And it's hard not to absolutely cheer a vigilante
00:12:28
in a situation like because rapists get let out of jail all the time. Their sentences
00:12:35
are not long enough, especially when they're repeat rapists. And it's like, after a while, what are you supposed to do?
00:12:40
Yeah. And you knew your children's names? I mean, it's crazy. I don't know. I know.
00:12:49
We don't have to have an opinion about it. Not at all. I'm all for it. It's a great fucking story. It was really well written
00:12:54
and it's so fucking personal. And I'm all for it. Okay. I 100% support it. Okay.
00:13:01
This just says hometown in the subject line. Hi, spooky friends. Yes. Yes. Yes. Oh, that's from Schitt's Creek.
00:13:10
That's Moira's quote. Oh, is it? Remember when she goes, when she's telling Stevie
00:13:14
to take naked pictures of herself, she goes, oh, and I know you think, oh, I'm too spooky.
00:13:20
Remember that? It's my favorite line of any television show of all time when she's basically giving her
00:13:27
a self-esteem, like, you're hot now, take pictures, do what you want, live your life.
00:13:32
The way she said it. Oh, and I know you're thinking, oh, I'm too spooky. Ow! Yeah, that's good comedy when you want
00:13:41
to beat yourself up over it. Okay, hi spooky friends. Oh my God, Moira's writing to us.
00:13:47
Love you all, let's get started. It's Halloween 2004 in the suburbs of Chicago. For the first time
00:13:53
my friends and I were allowed to go trick-or-treating alone. That's a big year. Big.
00:13:57
Big deal. It's just past sundown. Love it. The sky is blood red, turning blue. We were told not to loiter.
00:14:08
Don't forget to check in on our Nokia phones. And above all else, not to stay out past sundown.
00:14:14
So, of course, that's exactly what we did. But soon it got dark enough to freak us out,
00:14:18
And we started back towards my house for the requisite deep dish and candy counting.
00:14:23
What a life. That's amazing. Candy and like three inches of melted cheese. Chicago fucking deep dish.
00:14:32
So, so good. I just read something somewhere where a person from Chicago was like, I think people need to know that we don't eat this all the time.
00:14:38
It's special occasion food. It made me laugh. Okay. Cut to my parents pacing. I haven't checked in.
00:14:45
It's dark and they're grappling with letting me have independence versus versus turning the whole neighborhood upside down.
00:14:51
Cut back. Middle schoolers walking on a dark street and I'm the only one who's paying attention.
00:14:56
This is my entire life. My parents outside fear based parenting had me on alert when I locked eyes with an adult man walking toward us.
00:15:06
Head down, big hood over his head, hands shoved in his pockets. Even at 11, my baby murderino self knew that I had to herd our little group forward and watch for stragglers.
00:15:18
Bless your heart. Once we passed him, I looked over my shoulder. Good job, baby Sarah.
00:15:23
To make sure he wasn't following us. He was. We turned to see him stalking after us in the scariest mask we'd ever seen.
00:15:32
Suddenly, eight 11-year-old girls are shrieking, crying, screaming at the top of their lungs down the block.
00:15:38
It is to this day the fastest I've ever run I whipped out my Nokia to call my parents
00:15:44
Page 2 Cut 2 My mom, already on edge, gets a phone call She answers it and all she can hear is hysterical crying
00:15:53
Oh my god So thinking about that now, that's so scary Sorry mom We finally make it back to my house
00:15:59
Where we weepily explain what happened And my mom quietly goes Everybody in the van
00:16:04
Oh my god My mother, Virginia, is not to be messed with. She is tough as nails when she has to be, and there's no one else I'd want with me in an emergency.
00:16:16
She got everyone in our Dodge minivan and drove straight to where we said we saw the masked man.
00:16:21
Oh, my God. I love this. As we pull up, we see the man on the corner and shrieking, crying and screaming commence once again.
00:16:29
This man sees our car, walks over to it and has the nerve to put his hands on the window and stare into the backseat.
00:16:36
I will never forget the image of my mother, Virginia, looking back at the window, throwing that Dodge minivan into park right in the middle of the goddamn street and getting out of the car.
00:16:46
Next thing we know, she is verbally slicing this man in half as he panics, backs up and takes off his mask.
00:16:53
Turns out it was some idiot dad from our class who was pulling this prank in front of his house to make this his kids laugh inside.
00:17:01
Oh, my God. My maybe five five mother came for this man's whole life right in front of our eyes as this much taller man fell over himself, apologizing and wincing and backing up slowly.
00:17:15
He stayed inside the rest of the night and never pulled that shit again. Even though we were having a really bad night at the time, getting the scare of a lifetime and then watching my mom just obliterate this dude makes it my favorite Halloween to date.
00:17:28
Stay sexy and don't stay out later than your mom asked you to, Sarah. I was waiting for it to be the mom in the mask.
00:17:38
Wow. I love it. Virginia. I love moms acting like moms. It's my favorite. Virgie.
00:17:44
That's how you do it. Mom's acting like mom. Yeah, mom's doing that mom thing. That's fucking right.
00:17:49
All right. This one's called Hometown Story. Also. Hello, all. In the early 80s my oldest brother was in kindergarten He had the stressful task every kindergartner faces a picking out of what to share for show and tell Just so happened that a murder had recently taken place at a local fast
00:18:05
food restaurant. A murderino before his time, he decided this had all the ingredients for a story
00:18:11
to tell the class. I'm unsure what details he actually shared. From what I've heard, it was
00:18:18
mainly the location. I mean, a fast food restaurant. Come on, almost any kid could relate to the
00:18:22
setting. Sure. And that a murder had happened. The real story is extremely sad. A 27 year old woman
00:18:28
was killed by a group of teens during a robbery. Oh my god. Having a flair for dramatics and wanting
00:18:33
to make sure this was the best show and tell for his attentive audience of fellow kindergartners.
00:18:38
My brother finished with a plot twist of four memorable words. And I did it. the teacher called my humiliated mom and was very concerned my mom explained they had been
00:18:54
talking about the murder at home and he wasn't a budding psychopath we all laugh about it now
00:18:58
and my brother did not grow up to be a murderer but he can still tell an engaging story stay sexy
00:19:03
and don't let your kindergartners confess to murder for show and tell sarah and i and i did it
00:19:12
And I did it. And I did it. Motherfucker. That, when you first started and said show and tell, it immediately, I flashed to like
00:19:22
second grade and standing up and just bold face lying about something. I can't remember what it was, but I was just like, it was the exact same thing where I
00:19:30
was like, I have nothing. There's nothing going on. Pick a plant and be like, this is my plant.
00:19:34
Yes. And it's like, this is the plant that I poisoned everybody. I mean, like, that's the.
00:19:38
I have zero memories of show and tell to a point that I want to say we didn't do it,
00:19:42
which must mean I have terrible fucking memories of show and tell that I just have blocked out.
00:19:47
Of just being miserable. Yeah. It's so much pressure for a little kid to be like, get up and entertain a bunch of the kind of kids that like they're the age where they can't pay attention.
00:19:57
And they also can't articulate anything much like I can't these days, too. And I did it.
00:20:03
And I did it. Oh, shit. That teacher was like, not paying attention, then just like doesn't double take, spits her coffee.
00:20:11
Man, that's amazing. Okay. And horrifying because he also told the story to a bunch of little kids.
00:20:19
Yeah, like at what point was she going to stop him? Yeah. Until he fucking admitted to it.
00:20:22
She's like, okay, that's enough because the lying. It's the 80s and you can talk about murder.
00:20:27
Sure. Can't lie. Let's not go crazy and tell a lie. Yeah. Hello, beautiful. I'm Amy Erick, founder of Madison Reed, a hair color company I named after my daughter.

Hi, Karen, Georgia, and Steven. A classic opening. I have a true ghost story for you that will warm your soul.
00:22:55
My grandma passed away in October 2012 in Rochester, Minnesota My grandma has seven children, but my mom and her were especially close
00:23:04
In the days before her passing, my mom and my grandma My mom asked my grandma to send her a sign that she's okay
00:23:10
When she makes it to the afterlife Being that my mom and grandma were both religious
00:23:15
I'm sure my mom prayed for her safe passing and a sign from her as well On the day of the wake, my mom distinctly remembers turning her phone off out of respect
00:23:23
But during the wake, she heard her phone go off at full volume. She was really surprised by this, so she went outside to check and saw a voicemail from my grandma's church.
00:23:33
An important detail for later, the church is affiliated with the Mayo Clinic because the church is in a Mayo Clinic retirement community.
00:23:41
So it was a Mayo Clinic phone number that called. When she listened to the voicemail, it was just classical music playing for two minutes.
00:23:48
Specifically, String Quartet No. 21 in D, K575, Prussian No. 1, 5, Allegretti. No, I don't remember this detail, but I did text her to ask.
00:24:03
At the time, she brushed it off as a technical glitch. Then, when we arrived home at the end of the weekend, she checked her landline voicemail,
00:24:11
and she noticed a voicemail from the same number at the same exact time as the voicemail on her cell phone.
00:24:19
And guess what? She listened to the message, and it was the same song playing. While freaking out, she called the church and asked if they called her during the weekend,
00:24:29
and the minister replied that he didn't call her once. The church also never heard the song before
00:24:35
and said that they'd never had that happen to anyone else. The minister said, that must have been a sign from my grandma.
00:24:42
Here's where things get even stranger. No, what? Remember how I mentioned that this church
00:24:46
is from a Mayo Clinic phone number? The only time she's gotten a call from the Mayo Clinic
00:24:51
that resulted in music playing on a voicemail was on the same day that one of her close friends passed away.
00:24:57
coincidence or does my mom get voicemails from heaven routed through the mayo clinic
00:25:02

00:25:24
cahoots friends i love it all right last one this is called the body in the window
00:25:30
as long as no one no uh they don't even talk about no intro thank you as long as i can remember my
00:25:38
grandma has lived in a small town of prescott arizona and then says pronounce press cut i know i know spell it like you say it Back in the early 1900s there was a traveling salesman who came through town about once every month or so
00:25:50
selling pens, paper, and thread. He was well-known around town, but people only knew him as Mike, no last name.
00:25:56
Mike would come in on the train one day and leave the next afternoon. During one of his visits in 1911, Mike was apparently attending an event in a local park.
00:26:04
The next morning, his body was found dead, sitting under a tree. There's no sounds of foul play.
00:26:12
There was no signs of foul play. He was taken to a local funeral home where it was determined that Mike had either suffered from a heart attack or stroke.
00:26:19
A search of his belongings turned up no identification or signs pointing to where he was from.
00:26:23
The funeral home decided to embalm Mike and place him in an open coffin in hopes that his body would be identified.
00:26:30
And so the body sat in plain view and became something of a tourist attraction. People would come to town just to see old Mike as he became known.
00:26:40
Well, nobody ever claimed old Mike or was able to successfully identify him. Until 1975, when state officials ordered that he be buried.
00:26:48
That's right. Mike sat in the funeral home for 64 years before finally being put to rest.
00:26:55
He's buried in a local cemetery with a headstone that simply says, Mike died August 21st, 1911.
00:27:01
I attached a couple pictures of embalmed old Mike and his creepy painted on eyeballs if you're interested.
00:27:07
Oh, no, I am interested. Sidebar. My great uncle Chester Hooker also lived in Prescott.
00:27:13
He was brutally murdered in a hotel that he ran in 1997 at the age of 77. The crime still remains unsolved.
00:27:20
SSDGM, Kayla. Kayla Kayla That was so much Too far About Prescott Prescott Prescott Prescott Prescott Arizona Wow Yeah look up those photos guys of old Mike in Prescott Arizona
00:27:35
So a body was basically laying in state for 60 years. 60 years. Because no one knew who it was, and they didn't want to bury him.
00:27:44
And I guess they painted on his eyes. Steven. Oh. Oh, wait. Oh. Oh, no. Oh, no. Are his eyelids painted?
00:27:54
It looks like his glasses. Yeah, his eyelids are painted. Yeah, it looks like over the top.
00:27:59
Oh, no. You know what it looks like is, remember in Game of Thrones, where the main dad from Game
00:28:07
of Thrones, when he was laying in state, and they had rocks that had eyes painted on them,
00:28:11
put on his eyes. I think that was a thing, wasn't it? I think so. They finally buried him.
00:28:15
They, like, stood him up near a car and shit. Look at him. Poor Mike. I mean, yeah.
00:28:21
Wow. Well, I'm glad he got laid to rest. Also, I wish that Chester Hooker's murder would get solved from 1997.
00:28:29
Let's look into that, too. Yeah. Oh, no. I'm sorry. Steven's phone is laid to rest.
