Welcome to Radio Rental. I'm Terry
2:28
Carnation, the shopkeeper here. At
2:30
this VHS rental house, a
2:32
mistle purr machine is my cat
2:35
Malakai. What? Hey,
2:37
hey, hey. It's okay, Malakai. Just a little
2:39
lightning. Poor little guy. He's
2:41
terrified of inclement weather. Ever
2:43
since he saw the 1996 classic, Twister. Which,
2:47
by the way, did you hear there's going to
2:49
be a sequel? Twisters. Yes, the
2:51
sequel to Twister will be called... Twisters.
2:55
My prediction for the movie is that there will be
2:58
more than one tornado. They
3:00
should have called it Twizzlers. That's a movie I
3:02
would see. Twizzlers.
3:06
Thank you for listening to Radio Rental, brought
3:08
to you by Twizzlers. We wish. Ha
3:10
ha ha. I would love some Twizzlers
3:12
sponsorship if anyone can get me the hookup.
3:15
Hmm. I just love the taste of Red 40.
3:19
And by the way, screw Red Vines. I
3:21
would never take a sponsorship from them. Twizzlers
3:25
forever. Oh,
3:28
wow. It's really coming down out there. Perfect
3:30
weather for some spooky stories. Am I
3:32
right? Well, let's just pop something in,
3:34
shall we? Well,
3:37
honestly, you're going to have to do the
3:39
legwork yourself. I've got a cat on my
3:41
lap, after all. Oh, look. He's
3:43
so cozy. He's
3:45
making biscuits. Who
3:48
is the biscuit chef in today?
3:50
Hmm. Has the biscuit
3:52
chef begun his shift at the biscuit
3:54
factory? Hmm. Oh, yes,
3:56
chef. Yes, chef. Yes, chef. Corner.
4:00
Okay, that's all the culinary language I know. Now,
4:04
have you chosen your tape yet? Yes, just you
4:06
go ahead, pop it in right there, pop it
4:08
in, put it in, press
4:11
play. When
4:18
I was 17, I
4:20
really wanted to go and work as an au
4:23
pair. I
4:25
was done with school and
4:27
I really wanted to do something
4:29
new and travel. I
4:32
thought that it was a good idea to
4:34
do it as an au pair
4:36
because I love kids, I love working with people.
4:40
It's something I wanted to do as well, you know, as an
4:42
adult. I thought it was something
4:44
I could be good at, doing it
4:46
in a country where I could see some
4:49
really good friends. That
4:51
was really appealing to me. Since
4:55
I was only 17, I couldn't really do
4:58
that most places. I
5:00
was very impatient, so I looked up places where I
5:02
could go and work and I found out that I
5:04
could do that in the UK. Everyone
5:08
recommended to do it with an agency where you would
5:10
pay a lot of money for it. I
5:13
didn't really have that much money, so I was just thinking,
5:15
that's fine. I was just
5:17
going to do it through this free website
5:19
where everyone can apply for an au
5:21
pair. I
5:25
decided to apply for an
5:28
au pair job in Birmingham
5:30
where I have a few friends
5:32
living. I
5:35
found this woman named Elizabeth. I
5:38
was very happy when she replied back because I
5:40
felt like, you know, this was good. It
5:43
was good and it was going to lead to something. We
5:47
started talking and she seemed very nice. She
5:50
told me that she had two children
5:52
who she needed help with since
5:55
her husband was in Africa
5:57
working. That
5:59
sounded amazing. and the kids they
6:01
just seemed like sweet kids from the pictures.
6:04
They were smiling and looking happy and just
6:07
very cute kids. So
6:09
they looked like this really nice family. I
6:13
thought that it sounded
6:15
legit. You know, it
6:18
could be good. I
6:22
was a bit nervous talking to her. I
6:24
really wanted to do it well. Tell
6:26
her the right things and give a very good impression. And then we started
6:28
skyping. It
6:32
was always her laying in her
6:34
bed. She just
6:36
told me that she had just woken
6:38
up because she had been working night shifts. I remember her
6:40
being really nice in a way that she always smiled and
6:42
called me sweet names. Like
6:45
Han and Darling. I
6:48
really liked her for that. I thought it was really, really
6:50
sweet. I was
6:52
really happy. For
6:56
that I thought it was really, really sweet of her since
6:58
I'm not really used to that here in Denmark. She
7:02
just had this nice energy
7:04
about her. Asking me
7:07
questions and curious about me.
7:10
From then on it was just us contacting
7:13
each other a few times a week. Just talking
7:15
about asking how things were.
7:17
Asking each other questions about
7:20
what we were doing. Getting
7:22
things settled on the contract.
7:28
I never saw the children
7:30
when I was talking to her. We were just talking
7:33
about what she expected of
7:35
me and she was asking me
7:37
about myself. She
7:40
told me one day that I should
7:42
try and Skype the kids. She
7:45
gave me their Skype IDs. I
7:48
tried to call the children a few
7:50
times but they never faked
7:52
up. I
7:56
was thinking, oh that's strange. That's weird
7:58
that I don't see the kids that I'm
8:00
supposed to take care of. You know,
8:02
that she's not bringing them in to talk to me. And
8:05
I thought, oh, that's okay. It's just a
8:07
weird little thing. We
8:10
were talking for a few weeks and
8:12
then we settled
8:15
on the fact that I should come work for her.
8:18
And we decided for me to fly
8:20
over in the start of
8:22
January, 2017. I
8:26
was really desperate to travel
8:28
and work as an au pair, so I accepted
8:31
it. I
8:36
remember when I bought the ticket,
8:38
I was very giddy, I was very excited
8:40
about going. I was very
8:42
excited to go to the city where my
8:44
friends lived. I was just, you know, talking to
8:46
them and telling them about it. And we were
8:49
getting excited together about it. We
8:52
just talked about how good it
8:54
was gonna get, you know, how good it was gonna be. We
8:56
were talking about the things we were gonna do and
8:59
I just got super happy and
9:01
excited about that. It
9:03
was, you know, a good feeling.
9:09
Up until flying out, I
9:12
did a lot of research. I watched
9:14
a lot of YouTube videos and
9:17
I read a lot of blogs about people
9:19
working as an au pair. All
9:22
of them had these pictures
9:24
or videos of those
9:26
families picking them up in the airport. So
9:29
that was kind of what I was expecting. See
9:32
this welcome committee waiting, you know, with
9:35
the mom and her kids. I
9:38
was kind of looking forward to that, just to meet them.
9:41
Since I have never really talked to the kids either,
9:44
I thought that would be a nice way of meeting them.
9:50
When I arrived at the airport
9:52
in Birmingham, there
9:54
was no one there to greet me. I
9:58
was honestly... Very confused
10:00
and a bit disappointed as well. So
10:04
I sent her a message where I
10:06
told her, Hey, are you here?
10:11
I'm here. I'm just waiting
10:13
to get my luggage. She
10:16
told me that that was traffic, but that
10:18
she would be there in about 10 minutes
10:21
and asked me what I was wearing. I
10:25
told her that I was wearing almost
10:27
all black and I had this brown
10:29
bag with me. She
10:32
told me to go to the car drawer and
10:35
she told me to wait at the bus stop. I
10:39
was a bit confused, couldn't really find it. She kind
10:41
of guided me to watch it. I
10:44
was apologizing for not really knowing where it was. I
10:47
told her that I found it. She told
10:49
me to give her 10 minutes and then she will be with me. I
10:54
was waiting around for a bit and
10:57
then I saw this woman
11:00
waving at me, smiling.
11:05
I was a bit confused because I didn't
11:07
know who that one was. This
11:09
wasn't the woman I'd been talking to. She
11:13
was just smiling really big, waving at me
11:16
and coming over to me. I
11:20
was getting a bit nervous, thinking
11:23
that something might be wrong. The
11:28
second I saw that woman, I
11:31
got a message from Elizabeth,
11:34
the woman I've been talking to, saying,
11:37
that's my cousin's sister and she will take
11:39
good care of you. And then
11:41
another one saying, Hi hon, I'm so sorry, I
11:43
didn't want to disappoint you but I
11:45
just thought since you had bought a ticket already,
11:48
you just come to my cousin's sister. My
11:50
husband moved back home, I want to try to raise the kids
11:53
and he thinks it's a waste of money to have
11:55
someone when he is here and that's why. Find
11:58
it in your heart, forgive me, the kids are so...
12:00
who wants to see you too, but it's the same
12:02
job. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. She
12:05
only has one child and it's easier. I
12:09
was kind of in shock. My
12:12
head was just going 200 miles an hour. I
12:15
didn't really know what to think. I
12:18
was just adding things together, and then the
12:20
fact that I didn't see any kids, and
12:23
this wasn't the woman who I was supposed to talk to, this
12:26
wasn't the woman I was supposed to work
12:28
for. And
12:30
I didn't reply to this. I
12:34
thought it was so weird that I got that
12:36
message the second I saw the woman. I
12:39
was almost looking around to see if she was
12:41
standing somewhere or sitting in a car or
12:43
anything, just looking. I
12:46
just thought that maybe something very weird was
12:48
going on and that someone was looking at
12:50
me like
12:53
someone else was watching me. While
12:58
I was reading this message, the woman came up to
13:00
me like Elizabeth. She seemed
13:02
very nice. She seemed very
13:04
happy and she was smiling a lot and talking to
13:06
me. She
13:08
gave me a hug. I
13:11
was in shock. I didn't really know how to react to it. She
13:14
took my luggage from me. She
13:17
was very quick about putting it in her
13:19
car, kind of trying to
13:22
get my things in the cars if we could leave.
13:25
Again, I didn't really know how to react to it all.
13:27
I was just letting her, kind of
13:29
asking her about what was going on. She
13:33
told me again the story like Elizabeth had.
13:37
I remember the feeling when
13:39
your heart sinks, feeling
13:43
kind of being told in your body, not
13:47
really being able to say anything. I
13:51
remember being kind of in shock in that way
13:53
and that was when it really hit me that I
13:56
Didn't know what was going on and I got really, really scared.
14:01
He will are insisting on me getting in
14:04
a car. And excuse
14:06
for for her like a clue. For soon as the bears
14:08
and that it was the have some. Put
14:10
her hand on my back and guided
14:13
me to my car. I didn't Really
14:15
cute said socks proxy so fast as
14:17
he was saying. The little things about
14:19
you house was added to meet P
14:21
and Habitat. Me here. Are
14:24
from others here. I I couldn't really see that
14:26
much. As
14:28
is credited so missed his. I've
14:33
gotten her car. The
14:36
second I got in her car
14:38
and tar close I. Told her I
14:40
didn't want to this. I'm
14:42
not comfortable with his. Idols,
14:45
Space. I just don't
14:47
wanna do this So if you could
14:50
please says polemic out and she could
14:52
give me my luggage again. Lt Grade.
14:57
She didn't really wanna to that. Due
14:59
to the fact that we were in
15:02
as drop off not a pick up
15:04
area and that smoker finds his did
15:06
that. Ah
15:08
was kind of. ceilings. Stocks.
15:13
Aus or okay. we didn't
15:16
drive somewhere else. I
15:20
can have club fully agree to
15:22
that. This
15:25
wasn't right for me to do. I
15:29
told her like a really want to get out of.
15:32
If she could please let me out. so I
15:34
think oh. And
15:36
she says oh no, we can trust
15:38
Wales And and are. Going. To be off
15:40
a nuisance think about as. I
15:44
wasn't released. Or was it would be taking
15:46
me. This
15:48
whole thing for her says save Me
15:50
to. Priscilla into something else and I will be
15:52
it. Thought I was
15:54
freaking out on the inside really
15:57
scares said she would disagree with
15:59
are adorable. It
16:02
was just all these insane sauce coins
16:04
from I have. This
16:06
fear of getting transit. I've
16:09
watched a lot of movies and
16:11
hurdle of stories about young girls going
16:13
to other countries in than they can
16:16
translate. With a kid kidnapped or
16:18
murdered or anything like that. I
16:21
was just thinking the worst. She's
16:26
trove to this hangar a
16:28
bit away from was pick
16:31
the up. There
16:33
was a few minutes for our members ceiling
16:35
like. A cell like forever. Which
16:39
part? I got out of the
16:41
car and I instantly just called
16:44
my mom. I
16:46
was born in my has out our sobbing
16:48
I was so scared. When
16:51
she had me crying. I could
16:53
just hear the seer in a voice when
16:55
she asked me what was wrong. I
16:59
told her about woman about her announcing the
17:01
one I had some. Positive, I told
17:03
her that I was really
17:05
scares. See advised
17:08
me to not for with her.
17:11
And to get back to. The airport.
17:14
She. Wanted me to get away
17:16
from that woman. We
17:20
hung up and I call my dad. I told
17:22
him the same thing. He
17:24
was a bit more angry. I could hear
17:26
He was very afraid as well. He
17:29
advised me to call one of
17:31
the close friends that I had
17:33
that city and ask her if
17:35
she could help me. And
17:38
I call her. She.
17:40
Saw me that her dad would pay
17:42
for me to get access to a
17:44
place. I
17:46
was sitting outside the car. I
17:49
was crying and I single
17:51
sulking real out. I
17:54
could hear woman in the car so speaking
17:56
on the phone as well and her former
17:58
speaker. I. don't really
18:00
understand what they were saying since it was
18:02
in another language than English. But
18:05
I'm pretty sure she was talking
18:07
to Elizabeth. I
18:10
got back into the car and I
18:14
saw that she was still on the phone and
18:16
then she hung up a minute after I got back in. I
18:20
told her that I really wanted
18:22
to go back to the airport and I needed her to
18:24
drop me off. Every
18:26
time I asked her, can you please drop me
18:28
off to the airport, she said, oh, I'm already,
18:30
I'm going to go in this city. Don't
18:34
you want me to stay with me? I
18:36
can drop you off at the shopping center
18:38
or I can drop you off in this
18:40
city. She was going
18:42
to go shopping anyway so she could just take me with her.
18:46
I told her, no, I
18:48
really don't want to do this. I'm not
18:50
comfortable with this. I just wanted to try
18:52
to be back to the airport and
18:55
it was kind of the same thing every time I asked
18:57
her to please drop me off at the airport and I
18:59
think I asked her three times. In
19:03
the end, she just relented.
19:08
She told me that she would drop me off
19:11
in the parking area where there was a shuttle bus
19:13
that would take me back to the airport. I
19:16
was just crying. I was
19:19
really, really scared. I didn't
19:22
know if she was just going to drive
19:24
off with me somewhere else or
19:26
if she was actually going to drop me off. On
19:32
the drive, I was sitting next to her and
19:35
she kept looking over at me and was
19:38
talking to me about going
19:40
with her, getting dropped off somewhere else. I
19:44
was just focused on where we were
19:46
going and looking to see
19:49
if I could recognize the airport.
19:53
After a few minutes, she did drop
19:55
me off at the parking lot by
19:57
a bus station. We both
20:00
Cut out and she's a
20:02
message out. Socialising vary between
20:04
his hands and knees as
20:06
his eyes out. it's come
20:08
with her anyways that I.
20:11
Could to centers which presented
20:13
as businesses. I
20:16
took myself when I went up to
20:19
the bus station and. As as waited
20:21
there for her to leave and them
20:23
which he did, I just had this
20:25
huge sigh of relief. Now
20:29
that I was says I was thinking. Own
20:31
on wasn't as being really roots of
20:33
it as woman who just wanted and

24:29
another story. jelly. Or
24:40
studied abroad add a small university
24:43
called Queen Mary University of London.
24:46
I'll be enough. It was like a few miles
24:48
away from where the Jack the Ripper says happened.
24:52
The very end of my study abroad
24:54
time. I was the only
24:56
person left in the dorms. So.
24:59
I was on one less there for about three
25:01
or four days. They didn't
25:03
really bother me too much. There was plenty of
25:05
security on campus. It
25:09
was the second day before I was going
25:11
back to the states. I
25:13
went to bed around like ten or eleven
25:15
o'clock. A few
25:18
hours later, I woke up.
25:22
And I just kind of so right. There was
25:24
something going on a my room, but I couldn't
25:26
quite tell what was going on. I
25:30
aware like opened my eyes and I looked over into
25:32
the corner of the room. It
25:36
looks like there's like a shadow or something. At.
25:40
First, I wasn't doing anything. There
25:43
was a certain like Stanley mirror. Almost
25:46
like is standing guard in the corner of the
25:48
room. But
25:51
I wasn't quite sure what it was. So
25:54
I just kind of. I close my eyes. As
25:57
me, this is a six hour or more time. I
26:02
look over and I see the same exact thing I saw the
26:04
first time. As
26:07
Black. Figure was like a hood right
26:09
in the corner where the door jamb
26:11
met the spokes. I
26:14
knew right away when I was looking out, there is no
26:16
question that there was a cuffs my room. And
26:20
now I'm starting to panic. The
26:24
next question was. It
26:26
is this a friendly ghost. Or
26:29
was to figure out if this comes was
26:32
gonna possess me. Now
26:34
This Is Not Happening Right Now. I
26:38
was quite scared. It
26:40
was worse knowing that I was the only one
26:42
in the dorms and had no one. I couldn't
26:44
go next door to my neighbor. This
26:48
has to be a shadow because there's a window
26:50
the directly across like on the other side of
26:52
the room from the door, but it's also the
26:54
middle of a nice so there isn't too much
26:56
light on a member. there been a late in
26:58
the courtyard or anything that was on that window.
27:03
Eyes closed, my eyes and I
27:05
said i'm an account a ten.
27:08
Open embark on and are not going to
27:11
see anything and her son to go to
27:13
sleep. Close
27:16
my eyes. counter tends one.
27:20
Two. Three. Four,
27:23
Five. Open
27:26
my eyes real quick before even get to ten.
27:29
Causing them and then just saying okay, let's wait
27:31
till I get to ten. Six.
27:35
Seven, eight, Nine
27:38
ten, I
27:42
open my eyes. I
27:44
look over in that same spot. And
27:47
they don't see anything. But
27:51
that's only because. This
27:53
hooded figure is now tense. The
27:57
middle of my room. I
28:01
sat up in bed, could not
28:03
have sat up any faster had I tried. Sheer
28:07
panic. What
28:10
the heck is going on? Am
28:13
I having like a fever
28:15
dream? Am I hallucinating? Have
28:18
I been drinking too much? I'm
28:22
sort of looking at this thing and
28:25
it has some depth to it. I can make
28:27
out a hood. I can make
28:29
out that there is a head. I
28:31
can make out shoulders. I can make
28:33
out that they have their arms sort of cross like a
28:35
monk would. And
28:38
I'm just sort of watching this thing very slowly
28:40
kind of glide through my room. A
28:45
fighter flight mechanism is coming up and saying if it's getting
28:47
any closer to me, I got to do something. It's
28:51
the middle of the night. There's no one around. I'm in
28:53
my bed. It's between me and the door. I'm
28:57
paralyzed with fear that I'm
28:59
stuck here watching this thing,
29:01
this cloudy, misty, ghosty figure
29:04
in my room. It
29:09
gets right next to me in my bed.
29:12
Can I touch it? This is
29:14
just a shadow. Is this something else?
29:20
I put my arm out and
29:22
I put my arm through it. I
29:26
fully extended my arm and just kind of swept
29:28
that all the way through. The
29:32
cloud dissipates. It
29:35
just became like this blob. Maybe
29:40
after five or ten seconds I start seeing this
29:42
thing come back to form. To
29:45
this hooded figure form. I
29:51
can see it turn and face me. I
29:55
can see hood, shoulders,
29:59
arms crossed. And
30:01
I see this thing bow. The
30:06
actual tip of the hood is getting closer to
30:08
me. And
30:10
then I can see it stand back up. And
30:14
then it turns and starts
30:16
gliding in the same direction it had been going. I
30:21
don't understand. Did
30:23
it just bow to me? What
30:26
just happened? I
30:29
watched this thing bow to me. Turn
30:32
and continue on. I
30:35
just turned the lights on. And
30:38
I was like, what did I just see? I have
30:40
no idea what just happened. So
30:43
I just sat up in bed, turned
30:45
the lights on, grabbed my laptop. I
30:48
was determined just not to go back to sleep that
30:50
night. I
30:52
watched movies, videos, anything I could keep
30:55
my attention away from this, for the next
30:57
five or six hours until the sun came up. Why
31:01
did this happen to me? What
31:03
was this? Has this been
31:06
happening the whole time? Has
31:08
this happened another night and I just wasn't awake? All
31:11
the things you hear that ghosts are capable of doing or
31:13
spirits are capable of doing. That's just all
31:15
racing through your mind. So
31:19
I'm exhausted. I'm like, I got to get out of this dorm room.
31:22
So I went to Central London, did some shopping. Since
31:24
I'm going home in a couple of days and I
31:26
came back, I
31:29
was so freaked out by what happened. Uneasy,
31:32
just tried to tell myself this didn't
31:34
happen, this didn't happen. I
31:37
decided to set up my camera and my microphone on
31:40
my laptop to try to catch this thing. Audio
31:42
and video in my room that whole night. I
31:46
hit record, but
31:48
I was like too filled with adrenaline to
31:51
be able to actually fall asleep. Get
31:54
up in the morning. I listened
31:56
to all eight hours of it. The
31:59
only thing I... heard was my
32:03
fridge kick on about two
32:05
minutes later. I'm flying out
32:07
that morning so I close my laptop, pack
32:10
up all my stuff. I had the Heathrow Airport. My
32:16
parents took me out from the airport and
32:19
very nonchalantly I just said, oh by the way I'm pretty
32:21
sure I saw a ghost in my dorm room and
32:25
my mom is like a huge believer in
32:27
the paranormal and whatnot. My
32:29
mom shoots up and she's like, what do you mean you saw a
32:32
ghost in your dorm room? So
32:34
I tell her this story and she's
32:36
like that's so fascinating. She's like asking me all
32:39
these questions. You
32:41
saw a hooded figure. Where
32:43
was it? How quickly did
32:45
everything happen? Trying
32:47
to recall those moments over and over again
32:49
and trying to like prove yourself wrong that
32:52
you didn't just see what you saw. A
32:57
week or so later, she tells
32:59
me, by the way I've been doing
33:01
some research on what your experience was.
33:04
Apparently this is a fairly common
33:07
phenomenon. Well in Europe,
33:09
especially England, they
33:11
call them ghost monks and
33:15
they're like a quote unquote a good omen. That
33:19
someone's like watching over you during like a stressful
33:21
period or anything and
33:23
it appears in a form that
33:26
people understand. We
33:28
think of monks as these very spiritual,
33:31
good-natured people who lived a long time
33:33
ago and so it lends a
33:35
hand for them to come in this form to show
33:37
people there's no need to be afraid. I'm here to
33:39
help you. For her
33:42
it really just kind of meant that someone
33:45
was watching over me before I made this journey back
33:47
to the U.S. She
33:50
found there was actually a monastery hundreds
33:52
of years before the university was built
33:54
like on or near that location that
33:57
had burned down. The
34:00
fact that's happened to me and I
34:03
can't explain it tells me that
34:05
there's more to the story than what I
34:07
can even think of. A
34:17
ghost monk in his room? Wow.
34:21
Like the ghost of Tony
34:23
Shalhoub's character wandering around
34:25
his room straightening out
34:27
picture frames and ironing pants and
34:29
stuff. Actually that would be really
34:31
fun. I would like to see that. Oh
34:33
