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

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