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

14:24

from others here. I I couldn't really see that

14:26

much. As

14:33

gotten her car. The

14:36

second I got in her car

14:38

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

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
