WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:06.360 This happened last month. I am a twenty six year 2 00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:09.519 old male living in Atlanta. I took a side job 3 00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:12.199 as an Uber driver. I worked morning shift in a 4 00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:14.880 garage so that I can drive Uber at night. I 5 00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:19.039 preferred the Uber night shift because of less traffic. Anyways, 6 00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:22.079 one night, I was finishing up a trip nearby the 7 00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:23.399 city mall around eight thirty. 8 00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:25.160 It was a long summer night. 9 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:28.320 I decided to take one more trip and go home 10 00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.679 to enjoy my weekend in peace. I waited near the 11 00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:34.479 mall to get another trip request, but I kept waiting 12 00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:38.159 for ten or fifteen minutes and nothing happened. Being disappointed, 13 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.520 I thought to call it a day and return home. 14 00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:44.039 I lived in a small cabin at the outskirts. I 15 00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:47.000 took the highway and started to drive home. I put 16 00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:50.280 on some music and opened the car window. A cool 17 00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:53.359 breeze came in and gave me some relief. I lit 18 00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:56.320 a cigarette and kept driving in a light moved. I 19 00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:58.960 couldn't wait to return home and sleep till noon the 20 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.359 next day. Everything was going fine until I reached near 21 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:05.840 the highway tunnel. IMR Highway has a huge tunnel that 22 00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:07.640 connects the city with the Outskirt area. 23 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:09.519 I was almost near the tunnel. 24 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.879 Due to the roads being completely empty, I was driving 25 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:16.000 a bit faster. I was almost ten to fifteen hands 26 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.719 distance from entering the tunnel when a man sprinted right 27 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:21.560 in front of my car from the bushes. I pushed 28 00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:24.120 the brakes so hard that the car stopped, making the 29 00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:28.000 tire screech loudly. I got extremely scared, thinking I might 30 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:30.920 have hurt that guy. My eyes kept searching for that man, 31 00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:34.680 but he was nowhere to be found. Suddenly, I hand 32 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:37.719 grasped my shoulder from the window. At first, I was 33 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.159 scared like hell, Bud. Then I got my shit together 34 00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.519 and looked at the window. I saw a man in 35 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.239 his late thirties panting and gasping for air. He said 36 00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:52.599 in a broken voice, please help me, please. I realized 37 00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.760 he is in danger or something similar. I asked him, 38 00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:58.120 what is it. Why are you freaking out like this? 39 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.359 The man looked here and there as if someone is 40 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:03.879 out there looking for him. He then said, in a 41 00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:08.360 whispering voice, they are searching for me. Please, you must 42 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.280 help me. I got out of the car and looked around. 43 00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:15.639 Being honest, there wasn't a single creature nearby. The wide, 44 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.439 empty highway was filled with the sounds of crickets chirping it. 45 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:21.639 I stared at the tunnel to check if someone was there. 46 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.520 The long, hollow tunnel had nothing but yellow lights in it. 47 00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:29.439 I asked the man, who are you searching for. The 48 00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:33.639 man said, in a terrifyingly low voice, the shadow people. 49 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:35.520 They want me dead. 50 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.039 I was out of my mind at that time. I 51 00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.360 didn't know what the hell this guy was talking about. 52 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.719 I said, is this some kind of a sick joke, 53 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:48.199 cause I'm really not in the mood right now. The 54 00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:50.919 man got inside the car. He sat in the driver's 55 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:54.400 seat and said, just drive. We must leave this place 56 00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.319 right now. They're coming. I got into the car cluelessly. 57 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.240 I told the man, let me call nine one one 58 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:03.919 for you. See, my house is on the other side 59 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:06.479 of the tunnel. You can wait my car until they arrive. 60 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.319 The man then took out a knife from his pocket 61 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.560 and held it near my throat. He screamed at me 62 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:16.199 and said, just fucking drive. I'm not gonna die the 63 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.840 hand of those shadow people. I didn't know what to 64 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.639 do then. I was stronger than the guy. I would 65 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:25.400 have knocked him out immediately. If the knife wasn't pointed 66 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:29.400 at me. I said, in a low but firm voice. Listen, 67 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.120 let's just relax. I will drive you wherever you can. 68 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.879 Just take the knife down. The man started screaming again, 69 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:41.039 looks like you have no fear of death if you 70 00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:44.800 don't drive right now. Before he could finish the sentence, 71 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.800 he looked at the back of the car and became numb. 72 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:52.120 He was staring like a statue. I asked, what is 73 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.520 wrong with you? There is no such thing called shadow people. 74 00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.439 Stop this insanity and let me call nine one one 75 00:03:58.479 --> 00:03:58.879 for help. 76 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:01.759 The man and said, oh. 77 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.400 My god, they are watching us now. I turned around 78 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:07.639 to see what the hell he was talking about. Looking 79 00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.039 at the backside of the car. I knew it was 80 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:13.240 something made of by his crazy mind. But as I looked, 81 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.759 my heart dropped into my stomach. Who are these people? 82 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.879 Where did they come from? I swear guys, there was 83 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:24.399 a group of black shadows standing on the road. Nothing 84 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:28.720 was visible except darkness on their entire body. The man said, 85 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.759 now do you believe me? Dry dry? I said, in 86 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.839 a panicked voice, what the hell? Who are these people? 87 00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:40.839 Why do they look like that? The man said, They're 88 00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:44.639 all dead, and now they want my soul. The group 89 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.959 started to walk towards our car. I can't explain the 90 00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.839 horror because even if there were ten to twelve people, 91 00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:54.680 not a single step taken by their foot made a sound. 92 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.920 It felt like they were all kind of floating on 93 00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:00.720 the air instead of walking. I tried to start the 94 00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.720 car engine, but suddenly it didn't start. I tried again 95 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:09.120 and again, but nothing happened. I was completely shocked by 96 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.079 how the car suddenly got stuck like this. The man 97 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:17.639 said in a panicked voice, they're coming now, Please do something. 98 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.199 I twisted the car key one last time, and finally 99 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.720 the car started. I pressed the accelerator and the car 100 00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:29.040 picked up speed. We drove into the tunnel at full speed. 101 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.759 I looked in the rearview mirror and there was no 102 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.439 one behind us. I made up my mind to reach 103 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.480 home and call nine point one to hand over this freak. 104 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.240 I was almost close to getting out of the tunnel 105 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:42.680 just when a group of black shadows appeared from the 106 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.000 air and blocked the exit. I hit the brakes and 107 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.199 stopped in front of the group, but this time I 108 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.040 didn't turn off the engine. It was hard for me 109 00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.120 to believe what I was seeing there were no faces, 110 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:59.000 no color, only black figures standing at some distance from 111 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:03.000 the car, and then screamed and said, why don't you 112 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:07.000 leave me alone? And started to sob like a child. 113 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:11.000 What happened next still gives me chills to this day. 114 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.600 The group suddenly opened up all their eyes at the 115 00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:19.639 same time. Now there were black shadows with huge, wide eyes. 116 00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:24.399 Their eyes were blood red and their pupils were pale white. 117 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.240 I have never seen such horrifying guys in my entire life. 118 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.519 They all looked at the man beside me and made 119 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:36.560 terrifying ground. For a second, it felt like we were 120 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.519 being hunted by a pack of wolves. I broke free 121 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:43.079 from my numbness and pressed the accelerator once again. The 122 00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:45.600 car drove into the black shadow group and we passed 123 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.680 through them as air blew upon us. As we made 124 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:51.079 it out of the tunnel, I finally saw red and 125 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:52.160 blue lights coming. 126 00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:55.160 From the other side. I saw three or four cop cars. 127 00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:57.800 I didn't call for nine to one one yet, but 128 00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:01.600 I was out of all senses and national thinking. I was, 129 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:05.720 in one word, exhausted. The man in the car was 130 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:09.000 still sobbing and muttering, please. 131 00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.279 Let me go, leave me alone. 132 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.360 I know what I faced that night might seem like 133 00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:17.160 a made up story to some, but if you believe me, 134 00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:20.920 then I do have a rational explanation behind that vicious night. 135 00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:23.480 The cops came and arrested the man. 136 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.920 They told me he is convicted and sentenced to life 137 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.639 imprisonment for mass murder in a cathedral. He broke out 138 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.800 of prison a few hours back, but it's sterily shocking 139 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:36.519 to his state of mind. The cops took him back. 140 00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:40.879 I later read about that man. His name was Peter Shipman. 141 00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.160 One Sunday morning, he entered a church with two of 142 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:47.920 his followers. After the prayer ceremony, his followers locked the 143 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:51.360 church door from the outside. They shot seven men and 144 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:53.959 the five women who came to attend the prayer. 145 00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:56.879 They robbed them and escaped the area. 146 00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:00.079 I can't even imagine how vicious that scenario was to 147 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.839 be when he shot all those people and left their 148 00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:06.879 bodies drenched in blood. But somehow one of his followers 149 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.959 drove their car into a tree while escaping. He died 150 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:12.399 as his head bashed against the dashboard of the car. 151 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.800 The man and his other follower ran away. The cops 152 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.000 arrested the man under a dirty bridge. He was muttering, 153 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.920 shadow people killed my partners. The body of the second 154 00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:26.800 follower was seen floating on the river near the bridge. 155 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:30.879 Investigating officers claimed that the man killed the other partner 156 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:34.080 to acquire the entire share, But if you ask me, 157 00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:37.759 I think it was those people's haunting spirits who took 158 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.600 revenge on these three men. I have started day shifts 159 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:44.639 in Uber now. I have decided to stay home at 160 00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:46.679 night for a couple of months to get over this 161 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.279 unnatural incident. I don't know when I'll be able to 162 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.440 go out at night again without the fear of shadow people. 163 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:04.919 Riley started late from her friend's house. Her feet stumbled 164 00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:08.639 as she walked on the sidewalks. She went to attend 165 00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:12.399 a party and got really drunk. The street light stood 166 00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:15.559 on the empty roads. There was no one around her. 167 00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:19.879 Her house is still thirty minutes away from here. She 168 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.840 somehow stopped under a street light and decided to book 169 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.519 an uber for a safe journey home. With the gloomy 170 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:30.240 eyes and hazy vision, she booked a cab. The cab 171 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:34.679 number red two thousand nine. Riley waited for a few minutes. 172 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:38.000 She looked around her, the wind and the silence of 173 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:39.480 the night spooked. 174 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:39.480 Her a bit. 175 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:43.519 She thought to herself, I should have listened to Casey. 176 00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:46.200 It was a bad idea to leave for home tonight. 177 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:49.240 All kinds of tense thoughts were going through her mind 178 00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:51.639 when a pair of headlights appeared from the end of 179 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:55.080 the road. A white colored uber kept coming towards her. 180 00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:59.440 Riley immediately gestured with her hand and the uber stopped 181 00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:01.679 right in fro in front of her. She was so 182 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:04.320 drunk that the bright headlights of the car made her 183 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:10.679 vision even more blurry. She saw the number two zero zero, Oh, yes, 184 00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:14.200 this is it and got into the cab. The cab 185 00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:17.200 driver looked at the rear view mirror and said where 186 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:22.200 will you go? Riley replied twenty one I m R Street. 187 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.519 Just drive faster. The driver had a weird smile on 188 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:31.279 his face. He started the car and replied, as you wish. 189 00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:34.759 Riley closed her eyes and sat for a few minutes. 190 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:38.600 She started to feel a bit fine. As she opened 191 00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:41.480 her eyes, she saw they weren't of the highway anymore. 192 00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:45.039 The car is now going through an old, dusty road. 193 00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:49.799 She got a bit tensed and said, Hey, which road 194 00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:53.519 is this. The car driver smiled and said, I took 195 00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:57.840 a shortcut, madam, don't worry. Riley checked the GPS and 196 00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.559 there was indeed a connecting road at some distance from 197 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:04.240 this one. The driver started to chat with her. So 198 00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:10.559 you live alone, huh, the driver said. Riley replied yeah. 199 00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:13.840 She was trying to keep the conversation as short as possible, 200 00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:16.679 but it seemed like the driver was hitting on her. 201 00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:20.039 The driver then said something which ran a shiver down 202 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:23.480 her spine. You know, a beautiful girl like you should 203 00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:25.960 not roam in the streets at night all by herself. 204 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:29.600 Haven't you heard of the incidents that are happening these days? 205 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:32.919 Riley suddenly remembered what her friend Sarah told her at 206 00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:36.080 the party. They were all sitting on the couch and 207 00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:39.320 having drinks when Sarah said, have you guys heard about 208 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:44.600 the slit throat killer? Everyone gets surprised, including Riley. Sarah 209 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:47.360 went on saying that for the last couple of days 210 00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:50.639 at Atlanta, cops have said to have discovered three bodies 211 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.720 from the highways. It seemed like someone slit their throats 212 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.720 and dumped their bodies and the bushes on the high road. 213 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.360 The cops have no idea who did this, but they 214 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:04.480 are suspecting that there might be a serial killer roaming 215 00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:07.960 the streets at night, luring people into traps and slicing 216 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:12.600 their throats. All three bodies were found on abandoned, empty roads, 217 00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:15.799 pointing out that when they were killed, there wasn't anyone 218 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:19.679 around the area. Riley got all tensed and immediately got 219 00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:23.279 charged up, but the horror was yet to unfold in 220 00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:26.600 front of her. She received a notification from her Uber 221 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.159 app until now. She closed the app after getting into 222 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:34.320 the car. The notification read, you have been charged for 223 00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:38.919 the canceled booking. Raleigh opened the app and realized she 224 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:43.360 is stepping into grave danger. Car number two zero zero 225 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.440 nine waited for her at the pickup location for almost 226 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:49.679 fifteen minutes, but as she didn't show up there, the 227 00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:53.759 driver just canceled the ride and left. If her ride 228 00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:57.159 has been canceled, then who is this person driving her 229 00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:01.759 right now? Raleigh's stomach dropped in fear. She couldn't speak 230 00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:04.799 or say a single word. There is no point of 231 00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:07.240 screaming right now because there wasn't a single. 232 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:08.120 Human being nearby. 233 00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.279 She can't call someone in front of this guy asking 234 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:14.159 for help. Riley knew this man took her into his 235 00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:18.480 car with bad intentions? Is he the slit throat killer 236 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:21.840 everyone was talking about at the party? Oh my god. 237 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.759 Drops of sweat appeared on her forehead. Riley calmed herself down. 238 00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:29.279 The only way she can get out of this situation 239 00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:33.039 alive is if she uses her brain. The man looked 240 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:35.799 at her from the rearview mirror and asked, are you 241 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:40.279 all right, madam? Riley smiled and said, yeah, I'm fine. 242 00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:43.159 How long will it take? The man replied in a 243 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:47.840 cold voice, not much longer. The man's reply felt like 244 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:52.000 something is about to happen at any moment now. Riley 245 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:54.480 was praying to God to save her from this unknown 246 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.720 guy and his evil intentions. Riley said to the driver, 247 00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:03.240 keeping her voice as calm as possible, what were you 248 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:07.919 talking about back then? The driver said, Oh, you mean 249 00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:13.039 the slit throw killer? Interesting guy, huh? Then the man chuckled. 250 00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:17.919 Riley said, interesting. The cops are going to catch that 251 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.639 killer soon. They have already found his victims' bodies. The 252 00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:26.120 driver laughed this time and replied, Madam, the cops found 253 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:29.879 his victims because he wanted them to. People like this 254 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:33.840 are insane. You can't spot them out even if they 255 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:35.080 come right in. 256 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:38.000 Front of you. They wear masks to fool you. 257 00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:42.159 The more the driver spoke about this serial killer, Riley's 258 00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:46.399 heart started to beat faster. But suddenly the car started 259 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:49.559 to jerk hugely, and the driver pulled the brake. The 260 00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:51.000 car stopped, making. 261 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:51.679 A loud noise. 262 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.600 The driver got out of the car and lifted the 263 00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:59.320 hood to check the engine. Riley sat inside quietly. The 264 00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:02.440 driver then came close to her window and said, I 265 00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:05.480 think there has been some issue in the engine. Wait 266 00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:09.159 inside as I check it out. Riley knew the end 267 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:12.240 was near. The man has probably stopped the car on 268 00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:15.759 his own and is now making this all up. It's 269 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:20.360 high time and Riley needs to act. The man again 270 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:23.200 went in front of the car. Riley could hear the 271 00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:27.759 metal sound coming from behind the car bonnet. She slowly 272 00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:30.519 opened the car door, grabbing her bag in her hand, 273 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:33.960 then tiptoed to the back of the car. There were 274 00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:37.320 vast empty fields on one side and deep woods on 275 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.399 the other side of the road. The driver said, looks 276 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:43.440 like we have to think of some other option, madam. 277 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:45.919 I don't think this car will start tonight. If you 278 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.600 don't mind, my house is nearby. We can go there 279 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:52.120 and call the mechanics. So this is why this guy 280 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:55.960 took this road, Riley thought to herself. This guy wants 281 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.480 to lure her into the woods now and murder her 282 00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:03.279 like his three other victims. Riley didn't respond. She stood 283 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.440 at the back of the car as silently as possible. 284 00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:10.320 Riley knew this is her only chance. She started to 285 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:13.840 hear footsteps approaching her. With every step coming close to her, 286 00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:17.559 Riley slid to the opposite direction. By the time the 287 00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:20.559 driver reached behind the car, Riley went to his side. 288 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:24.360 The driver got shocked as he realized Riley was missing. 289 00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:30.440 He said in a confused voice, Madam, madam. Just then 290 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:34.559 he heard Riley's voice behind him. Yes, what is it? 291 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:38.440 Riley said in a firm voice. Her eyes were wide 292 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:41.919 and big. The driver got spooped for a moment. He 293 00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:45.840 then said, we can walk to my house and call 294 00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:46.600 for a mechanic. 295 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:50.279 Riley smirked and replied, you are not my ride. 296 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:54.279 No. I booked a cab number two zero zero nine. 297 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:59.000 Your cab is two zero zero six. The cab driver 298 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:03.120 smiled awkwardly and said, well, you asked for a lift 299 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:05.680 and I could use some extra cash, so I thought 300 00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:08.920 i'd drive you, bud, I took a wrong shortcut. Please 301 00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:09.920 don't call the cops on. 302 00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:10.319 Me, Madam. 303 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:14.279 Riley looked at him and said, for a moment, I 304 00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:17.000 thought you were the slit throat killer. The man laughed 305 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:21.200 awkwardly and said, no, Madam, I am definitely not that 306 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:26.079 creepy guy. Please believe me. Riley laughed. He said, you 307 00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:29.359 are wrong again. It's not a he, but a she. 308 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.440 The driver spoke in a terrified face. What Riley took 309 00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:38.559 out her shining knife and lifted her hand. Her innocent 310 00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:42.839 face turned into a devil. She smiled in a horrible 311 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:46.640 way and sliced the driver's throat with one slash. The 312 00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.200 man felt lifeless on the floor while choking on his 313 00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:52.200 own blood. She then washed her hands with a water 314 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.079 bottle inside her bag. She always carries water with her. 315 00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:59.119 It is better to wash off the blood immediately before 316 00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:02.039 it dries out on her skin. She pushed the body 317 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:04.279 in the ditch nearby the dusty road with a kick. 318 00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:07.559 The high road is five minutes walk from there. She 319 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:10.400 reached the highway and booked herself in uber. This time, 320 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:13.960 it was twelve o'clock at night. Riley got inside the 321 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.599 car and said to the driver, drive me home, I 322 00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:22.319 feel tired. Next day, the news flashed new body found 323 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:25.279 near an old, dusty road at the town Outskirt. Cops 324 00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:27.440 are saying this is the fourth victim of the slit 325 00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:30.920 throat killer. The victim was an uber driver, probably coming 326 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.119 home that night as he had no bookings in the record. 327 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:36.359 It seems like the killer stopped his car and lured 328 00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:39.200 him into his trap, like every other victim. The Senior 329 00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:41.680 Commissioner of Police has said they are going to catch 330 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:44.400 this man very soon and put him behind bars for 331 00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:47.160 the rest of his life. Riley soot from her coffee 332 00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:50.000 cup and gave an evil smile as she watched the 333 00:18:50.079 --> 00:19:01.000 news sitting on her living room couch. It's crazy, Uber driver. 334 00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:03.880 This is a true incident that disturbed me for a 335 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.400 long time. I was in high school back then. One 336 00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:09.480 evening I went to one of my friend's houses for 337 00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:12.799 a sleepover. My friend Thomas, and I decided to go 338 00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:16.799 to a supermarket nearby to grab some beers. Thomas's parents 339 00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:18.799 were out of town, so we kind of had the 340 00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:21.839 house to ourselves. We planned to drink beer and watch 341 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:25.079 a football match that night. The supermarket was quite far 342 00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:28.000 from his house, so we decided to call for an uber. 343 00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:31.200 Our ride arrived within ten minutes and we hopped in. 344 00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:34.920 The driver was polite and well behaved. He seemed like 345 00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:37.519 a man in his late thirties. He was wearing blue 346 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.039 T shirt and black trousers. Thomas started to chat with 347 00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:43.839 the guy. Eventually I was sitting quietly at the back 348 00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:47.240 seat while Thomas was in the front. Being honest, I 349 00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:49.519 didn't notice the man's face when we got into the car. 350 00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:51.880 We booked the ride as a round trip. 351 00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:55.559 After reaching the supermarket, Thomas went inside to get the 352 00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:58.240 booze while I stood outside the car waiting for his return. 353 00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:01.680 The driver sat in side the car. I lit a 354 00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:04.440 cigarette for the first time. My eyes went to the 355 00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:08.400 rear view mirror. I saw the man's face. There was 356 00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:10.759 nothing od about his face, but as my eyes went 357 00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:13.759 to his neck, I got a bit startled. I saw 358 00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:16.799 deep scratch wounds on his neck, as if someone scratched 359 00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:20.279 him really bad, with long, sharp nails. The man suddenly 360 00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:23.160 noticed me watching his neck. He immediately pulled his T 361 00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.359 shirt collar up to hide them. I thought he might 362 00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:28.759 have some pet at his house or whatever it is. 363 00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:32.359 It's definitely none of my business. Thomas came back within 364 00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:35.200 a few minutes and we got into the car. This time, 365 00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:38.559 I noticed a change of behavior and the driver Thomas 366 00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:41.319 again started to chat Bud. The driver kept cutting the 367 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:45.240 conversation short. Suddenly it felt like he was no longer 368 00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:47.839 interested in talking and just wanted to drop us off 369 00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:50.960 as soon as possible. I was sure Thomas felt weird 370 00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:53.799 too with this sudden change. He then handed me the 371 00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:57.039 beers and said keep it in the Backsmith. I took 372 00:20:57.079 --> 00:20:59.519 the plastic bags and I dropped it behind the back seat. 373 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:02.119 The car had a narrow space behind the seat I 374 00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:05.119 was on. There was still fifteen to twenty minutes to 375 00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:07.799 reach home, so I started to scroll through my phone 376 00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:11.599 and silence took place inside the car. Everything was going 377 00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:14.160 well when suddenly the driver hit the brakes to avoid 378 00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:17.240 hitting a cat crossing the road. It created a little 379 00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:19.160 jerk and I heard the bottles clink to each other. 380 00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:21.559 I wanted to make sure that none of the bottles 381 00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:24.160 were broken, so I decided to check the plastic bag. 382 00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:27.359 But this time, as I lifted the bag to see inside, 383 00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:31.319 something unexpected happened. I saw that the bottom of the 384 00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:34.599 plastic was wet with a liquid like substance. It was 385 00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:37.440 dark inside the car and I couldn't see clearly. At first, 386 00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:41.000 I placed my hand underneath, and what I discovered gave 387 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:42.039 me a hell of a shock. 388 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:44.960 The liquid was nothing but blood. 389 00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:47.799 I was sure that the blood somehow came from the 390 00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:51.839 car itself, So without attracting the driver's attention, I switched 391 00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:53.960 on my phone's flashlight and tried to look at the 392 00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:57.480 narrow empty space behind. What I saw made my skin 393 00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:01.480 crawl in fear. A girl was and taped lying inside 394 00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:03.759 that empty space. She was hit on the head with 395 00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:07.480 a heavy object, which caused massive bleeding. I accidentally put 396 00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:09.640 the bag on her face, and thus her blood left 397 00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:12.240 a spot on the bag too. I could tell from 398 00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:16.480 her still motionless body that she was dead. Now I 399 00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:19.359 understand why the driver had those scratch marks on his neck. 400 00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:24.240 This man is a cold blooded murderer. He just murdered 401 00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:26.319
