00:00it was a rainy night and i was driving home from my shift at the late night diner i work at
00:16it was a quiet shift at work i had a weird amount of energy still so i knew i was going to have to
00:22pop a melatonin when i got home i was driving my usual route a scenic road during the day but
00:28majorly dark at night lacking many light posts there's the occasional little parking lot with
00:34cute little strips of stores or family-owned restaurants and shops and then just stretches
00:39of nothingness and by nothingness i mean forest obviously i was passing one of the aforementioned
00:45parking lots of a well-known deli and under a light post was a woman standing out in the rain
00:50with her arm held out she was waving me down i slowed as i realized it was a slightly older woman
00:57who appeared to be in her mid-50s maybe this woman was really tall like 5 11 or 6 foot but very skinny
01:05i lowered my window and yelled do you need a ride she came over to the front door and opened it
01:11chanting how much of a hero i am i asked where she's heading and she said just up the road to town
01:16she was soaking wet getting my car all wet but i like to think of myself as a good person and i
01:23couldn't in good conscience leave another woman out there in the cold rain however picking up a random
01:27man on the other hand would be a different story the woman seemed sweet but i noticed as i looked at
01:33her while talking to her she was missing a few teeth very very off-putting i had to now wonder if
01:40she were homeless she didn't smell or look like a homeless person though but the rain soaking her and
01:46her clothes couldn't have been masking any sense temporarily plus her hair was so wet that what
01:52may have usually been scraggly undone hair could now have been weighted down and straightened by the
01:57water either way the woman was smiling the whole time and didn't seem like a threat we pulled up to
02:03an intersection with a gas station on one corner i pulled in next to a pump might as well fill up
02:09i asked her if she wanted anything from inside i was really doing my good deed for the week
02:15she said no thanks honey so i went inside to pay the attendant for gas and some spiked seltzers since
02:21tomorrow was the weekend when i got back to my car the woman was gone i looked around the gas station
02:27lot real quick but it was tiny she was gone she must have ran off somewhere i felt slightly bad feeling
02:36like she was some lost helpless woman but part of me also felt slightly relieved i filled up the tank of
02:42my suv and i was on my way home when i got back to the house i went straight inside my apartment which
02:49is the first level of a two-family house there's a tenant upstairs and me the front door into the
02:55foyer was usually left unlocked then the two doors leading to each apartment were locked i let myself in
03:01out of the rain and into my apartment i set the seltzers down on the counter i wasn't that tired
03:06yet so i took a melatonin and tried to go to bed even with the melatonin though i was having a hard
03:12time sleeping that night my mind was kind of going wild with thoughts a lot of thinking about that
03:18woman i picked up earlier and what happened to her at certain points i heard slight sounds from
03:24outside of my bedroom but i dismissed them as sounds from the upstairs tenant boy do i wish i was more
03:30suspicious before falling asleep i woke up in my dark bedroom something that usually would never
03:36happen when i take a melatonin i usually sleep like a baby through the night i sat up feeling drowsy
03:43feeling really thirsty too i reached over the table next to my bed for my water and then i saw and heard
03:49something across the room from me i saw someone crouched in the corner of my bedroom behind a clothing
03:55dresser with their legs folded i had to be hallucinating it i shook my head violently and
04:03made weird noises i even slapped myself in the face and now whoever was in the corner stood up and
04:09walked out of the room i didn't scream i didn't say a word i sat in my bed in literal shock the part
04:17that had me questioning my sanity for a bit after the figure was gone was that there wasn't a single
04:21sound from outside the room after this no footsteps not the sound of a door closing i grabbed my phone
04:28and called my dad he picked up confused why i was calling so late i told him of what i just saw and he
04:35said trish you probably just had a night terror i stayed on the phone with him as i was continuing to
04:41become more awake and i left my room and turned on the lights to the living room outside it was a small
04:47space there was no one in there i looked around the entire space and could confirm no one was there
04:53i started to believe that maybe i did just hallucinate it but still i slept with the bedroom
04:59door locked that night when i woke up in the morning i drank some coffee and got dressed for the gym
05:05i went to open the door to the foyer and realized it was already unlocked my heart sank
05:11last night what i saw was it real i did another look around the apartment confirming no one was
05:19inside i went out to my car and opened the back door to put my gym bag in the back seat and that's
05:24when i noticed the damp yellow brownish stains all over the floor in the back and my blanket that i
05:30always had back there was gone i wanted to cry or scream i figured it out that woman snuck into the
05:38back seat last night when i was in the gas station she either somehow unlocked the door to my apartment
05:42or i mistakenly left it unlocked i called my dad again frantically asking him what to do
05:48he said check and make sure nothing was stolen and if nothing was then calling the police really
05:54wouldn't do anything i checked the house and didn't find anything to be missing just my blanket
05:59from the car i skipped the gym that day in fact i stayed bottled up in my apartment for a while
06:05after that i was just genuinely disturbed i didn't want to live there for much longer after that
06:11and so after that month i found a new place to live
06:14this happened a few months ago and i don't know why i agreed but i decided to go with my friend michael
06:30to a house party he was attending during our first year of high school even though i wasn't even
06:34invited michael was able to pull some strings and i accepted the invitation knowing that i wouldn't be
06:40able to drive i made the choice to go with michael when we arrived at the home late at night michael
06:45told me to leave my phone in the car he explained that maybe i could lose it or someone i don't know
06:51could try and take it for me while i'm not looking at first i was confused i simply nodded and we got out
06:57of the car i went with michael into the home or backyard where the party was taking place
07:01i glanced around the backyard and saw people engaging in various activities such as smoking
07:07drinking and possibly even doing drugs in small groups michael had encouraged me to go mingle and
07:12say hello to a few people after a few hours i realized i had way too much to drink because my
07:18vision was completely foggy after getting closer to the house i leaned against the wall to support
07:23myself as i did so i noticed the time on my watch indicated that it was either midnight or one in
07:30the morning i knew it was time to leave so i set out to find michael and despite my overwhelming need
07:36to collapse i scanned the yard for him but i was unable to locate him or see him when i asked a few
07:42others if they'd seen michael they all said they had not i decided to call mike to find out where he was
07:47so i reached inside my pocket to feel for my phone but it wasn't there and i cursed myself in the back
07:53of my mind because i realized that i had left my phone in michael's car it disappeared with him
07:59i realized there was only one way to get home which was walking because i remembered my house
08:04wasn't too far from this house but the night was chilly because it was fall i thought about just
08:09asking someone else to take me home but i didn't know anyone else that could help so i stuck with my
08:14idea of walking home in the darkness by myself i then got to the road and started stumbling down the
08:19street and i knew i had too many drinks because i felt lightheaded and dizzy a few minutes later i
08:25made it to the main area of the street and kept walking i lazily started thinking about a bunch of
08:31different things like why did michael decide to leave me alone at the party or why i decided to
08:36listen to michael's idiotic idea of leaving my phone in his car so i couldn't call him or anyone else
08:41i started cursing myself for being so careless with my drinking and even getting drunk knowing i
08:46shouldn't have done that i stopped walking on the side of the road because i was getting tired
08:51and i crossed my arms over my chest tightly to keep myself warm then i remembered something i could do
08:57which was hitchhiking and i then held out my arm and stuck out my thumb hoping someone else could see
09:02me i watched as a couple cars drove past me they wouldn't stop and as minutes ticked by i started
09:09feeling uneasy thinking i would have to start walking again it was past one in the morning and there were a
09:15few cars driving past me but no one was stopping because they either didn't notice me or didn't
09:20care i hesitated i thought about walking home again but i realized that in my drunken state it would be
09:27too daunting i was still holding out my thumb when a gray truck pulled up and stopped in front of me
09:32and i smiled as i stumbled towards the vehicle the window rolled down and an older looking man with a
09:38beard asked me if i needed a ride i told him yes and then told him where my house was before getting
09:43into the truck feeling grateful for the ride as we started driving down the road the man started
09:49trying to make small talk with me asking what happened to me however i was too disoriented to
09:55have an actual conversation with him and the only things i could manage to say were low mumbles or
09:59just murmurs and groans as we turned the corner to my street away from the party i started feeling
10:05uneasy for some reason i couldn't shake the feeling that something was strange about this man
10:10suddenly we drove past my house when i told the man that we had just driven past it and i felt my
10:16gut telling me to get out but i couldn't because i was too drunk to move i was about to tell the man
10:22to let me out before we got too far away from my house when suddenly the man turned to me and i noticed
10:28he had a sinister look on his face you know you shouldn't be drunk while you're hitchhiking because
10:32you'd make a very easy target the man said smirking darkly the man reached over and started rubbing my
10:39leg and i didn't know what he was trying to do but i knew it probably wasn't anything good
10:43but before he could do anything else to me we both heard a loud siren behind the car and then a
10:49flashing red and blue light flooded the night i realized it was the police and i jumped for joy
10:53inside the man panicked and stopped unlocking the doors which allowed me to jump out of the car
10:59i ran as fast as i could and the police officer rushed over to me and i told him the entire story
11:04about what happened to me unfortunately nothing illegal happened per se at that point the police
11:10officer told me that he was looking for someone in a gray truck who had apparently stolen something
11:14from a store i'm not sure if it was the man who picked me up or someone else but i was just glad
11:19the police officer stopped the car a cop gave me a ride home and i decided from there on i wouldn't get
11:24so drunk that i couldn't think straight i now know the importance of being responsible and staying
11:30aware of my surroundings even when having a good time
11:33i was still in college when this happened i went to a big party school in upstate new york
11:47i wasn't in a sorority but i attended a lot of the frat parties still
11:51i had a heavy drinking phase in college unfortunately but i guess it's good that i got it out of my system
11:57there was an upcoming frat party that my friends deanna and kayla wanted to go to
12:02i was not one to ever say no to a party unless i was already deathly hung over
12:07and even then i'd sometimes be known to still go out
12:10i was living in a house off campus with three other girls
12:13we were not a sorority house or team house or anything like that
12:17just four friends renting a house together i believe it was a kappa sigma party that we were going to
12:23the house was about 20 minutes away from campus we pre-gamed pretty heavily at our house and then
12:29we called an uber which we all split on the uber ride there we pre-gamed some more which was a recipe
12:35for disaster by the time we showed up to the party i was borderline blacked out i just barely remember
12:42the layout of that house i'd never been to a kappa party besides that night it's weird i have short
12:48spans of memory from that night i vaguely remember the outside that there were a bunch of frat guys
12:53standing out front of the house and then i remember the dj in the living room and the two beer pong
12:58tables in the kitchen i was later told that i played beer pong with some random frat guy and
13:04ended up talking to him in a corner for a big chunk of the night but after that nobody knows where i
13:09went i couldn't even tell you the last thing i remember before waking up sleeping on the grass on
13:14the side of the road in a daze my head was throbbing i had to still be somewhat intoxicated
13:20it was pitch black outside i was laying by a bunch of trees like a wooded area apart from the university
13:27there wasn't much up there besides woods and the occasional little town there were a couple light
13:32posts further down the road so i wasn't just laying in complete darkness i patted down my pockets
13:38looking for my phone and i had a meltdown when i realized my pockets were empty i was also
13:43missing my cross body bag i had absolutely nothing on me i started to freak out i couldn't even call
13:50for help let alone check the time or where i was i looked around the immediate area by where i was
13:56sleeping nothing my white shirt was stained with dirt but that was the least of my worries i started
14:03walking down the road closer to the light posts i was starting to realize there were no buildings in
14:08sight i was on some completely random back road i leaned on the light pole for a few minutes wondering
14:15what to do i decided i'd wait for someone to pass by and ask for help it took a long time though at
14:22least 15 minutes before i noticed headlights down the road i stepped out onto the road waving my arms
14:27and jumping trying to ensure i got their attention the car slowed to a stop on the side of the road
14:33i approached the car and the guy inside rolled down the window once he asked me if i was all right
14:39i told him i was stranded without a phone and needed a ride home he told me to get in and i did
14:44making sure to let him know how much i appreciated it he of course asked me about my predicament how i
14:50found myself stranded on the side of the road i told him i was at a party and the next thing i remembered
14:55was waking up on the side of the road in hindsight i should not have said any of that i should have been
15:01as vague as possible not let this guy know that i got completely trashed and was vulnerable
15:06he asked why i didn't call for help and i told him i lost my cell phone too the guy looked at me
15:12like i was a moron i looked back at him for a second and this was the first time i really analyzed his
15:18features he was like 35 he wasn't the best looking guy he had a thin goatee and a big nose i gave him
15:26my address to put into his house as he drove he put the address in and then i heard him say under
15:32his breath okay here we go i asked how far away we were and he said about 20 minutes that sounded
15:39about right since the frat house was about 20 minutes from our house i thought things would go
15:44smoothly i'd get dropped off at the house where kayla and diana would be waiting for me with my
15:49belongings but nothing can ever go that smoothly the man spoke in a gentle voice basically the entire
15:55time he was asking basic questions at first his soft voice was almost in a weird way off-putting
16:02like why was he talking in an almost whisper in the car we drove on and on for what seemed like
16:08over 20 minutes on the same road i started to get concerned and so i asked him how much further we had
16:14he didn't respond right away so i said sir and he went hmm and i repeated my question
16:21he said in his soft voice not far this wasn't right our house is in town yet we were still on
16:28the same back road with nothing but trees everywhere i started noticing in my peripheral vision that he
16:34would look at me multiple times like he'd move his whole head to stare at me for a few seconds and
16:39then look back at the road i was starting to feel sick i asked him if he put the right address in
16:45and he said yes then he said what color underwear are you wearing as he put his hand on my knee and
16:51started rubbing my knee i moved it away and told him in a desperate voice to please not hurt me
16:57i just want to get home safe he said why would i hurt you after saying this he pulled onto the grass
17:03on the side of the road and put the car in park and he was about to lean over towards me and do
17:08something like put his arms around me but i didn't let him i opened the door and ran into the woods
17:14luckily i was wearing my air force one so i didn't have a hard time running in the woods
17:18i ran only just enough to be out of sight from the car when i could no longer see its headlights
17:23i heard the man for the first time raising his voice and he yelled into the woods where you at
17:29i just want to see i put my hands over my mouth not only to muffle my breathing but because of pure
17:35fear i waited and waited until i heard a car door slam shut and the sound of a car speeding off
17:41i waited a few more moments before walking back to the road confirming he was gone i felt truly
17:48helpless i didn't want to run into that man again but i also needed someone else to help me
17:52i waited just at the edge of the woods for another car to come and eventually one did i saw the
17:59headlights approaching from afar but i waited until i was sure that it was a different car before
18:03jumping out and waving my arms and yelling the car came to a stop it was another man this guy a little
18:10older i sat in the back seat this time i was so shaken up that i hardly spoke apart from answering
18:16whatever questions about my predicament he asked thankfully this man dropped me off at the house
18:21it was like 4 a.m at this point my friends were still awake waiting for me they had my phone and
18:28my bag they were contemplating calling the police if i didn't come back by morning no one had any clue
18:34who i left with or how i ended up on the side of the road the boy who i was with claimed he wasn't the
18:39one to leave with me in fact there's no solid proof that i even left with anyone but that leaves no
18:45explanation how i ended up sleeping on the side of the road i cut back heavily on the drinking after
18:50this night and i never want to be in a situation again where i have to hitchhike
18:54out of the dark forest i was hitchhiking from leipzig germany to paris he was a french man a somewhat
19:11dirty and unshaven driver small and shabby he agreed to give me a ride in his car a ride with
19:17him to paris where i needed to pick up my paintings from an exhibition i had there
19:21it was october i was 29 years old and he seemed about the same age he spoke broken english i spoke
19:29no french at all i really didn't have a clue who this guy was the day was mild sunny and blue it was
19:36a warm and comfortable french day a great day to hitchhike it was around 4 30 p.m when i met him
19:42at a gas station somewhere in france i hopped into his little old car happy to have scored a ride
19:47we drove off to paris on the main highway after some small talk mainly about where i'm from he
19:54reached over my lap and opened the glove compartment he pulled out what looked like a bunch of passports
19:58they were passports he handed me all four the first pretty girl was his girlfriend who died falling off
20:05the back of his motorcycle he said the second his girlfriend who died in a car crash he told me
20:11the third girlfriend died from a brain tumor and the fourth fell off of a horse he said i'm such an
20:17unlucky man i agreed he was unlucky the uneasiness started then and only grew as the miles rolled on
20:25he was in possession of four young women's passports soon after showing me the passports the man said he
20:32wanted to take a shortcut to paris it wasn't really a question to me excellent i thought get me out of
20:38here asap i assumed we would cut through some charming french villages on secondary roads
20:44past houses and farms but no instead we turned off onto an implausible dirt road off the main highway
20:50uh-oh i thought not good but i kept silent why we keep quiet is a mystery perhaps because of our dumb
20:58manners at first the road was out in the open through a field we rolled over the typically vivid green
21:05french hillside until we finally reached the oncoming heavy woods the road narrowed it grew
21:11instantly darker as we entered the forest road and drove in the interior of the forest was creepy
21:17the woods looked like the perfect place to hide something i still found the woods beautiful beautiful
21:23and dreadful it was at this point that my french driver shouted in broken english i don't want to speak
21:29english anymore this was definitely not a request then silence uncomfortable silence in the darkening
21:36forest i started to feel a small trickle of adrenaline in my body my fight or flight instinct was warming up
21:43communication had now officially ended just silence i pondered this because i knew i would surely have
21:49questions as we would get deeper and deeper into the thickening woods i knew though that i wouldn't ask
21:55anything nothing it was now 5 pm and the sun was fading fast the woods grew darker the driver seemed
22:03so tense and i could tell he was in deep thought i noticed his lips moving almost imperceptibly
22:08it was rigid snake-like i myself had moved my hand to the car door handle a movement i'm sure could not
22:15have been missed the car was slowing down i did not say a word was i gonna die now did he have a gun
22:22i looked all these questions ran through my head my life was now surreal this was not my plan
22:29maybe i communicated with my captor in some secret way maybe i gave off some kind of male
22:35pheromones perceptible only to men facing off i possessed my own rage issues and i was not going
22:40down without a fight that i knew there would be no begging or cries of mercy from me not to this fucker
22:47i also had my own secret storeroom of crazy i was big and strong at that time road tough through my
22:54travels and there's no substitute for my nothing to lose stare that is all i gave him something very
23:00primitive transpired between us then i think rather quickly in a matter of seconds it's a sort of inner
23:06calculus as to whether one can overcome stop or kill the other guy or not and all its peripheral
23:11considerations not the least blood gore strength and alas dying i don't think these calculations
23:18are the same when the victim is small and scared begging and weak i think between those two uneven
23:23people it just becomes bloodlust power panic scratching and doom 5 12 p.m the car was now moving
23:31really really really slow i entered a very strange and new place in myself i was transformed with very
23:38little preparation transformed into a potential killer myself maybe my chauffeur could read my
23:44mind or my body language or sense my intent or see my hand on his dirty door handle it was the moment
23:50of truth and then we suddenly started to speed up thank god out of those woods odd how these memories
23:58have come back to me as i write this some memories i'm not certain of like did he say he had to hit one
24:03girlfriend with a shovel because she attacked him and would not be quiet and leave him in peace did
24:08he really explain the two backpacks on the back seat did i not hear that on purpose did i later imagine
24:14those words did i see more passports in his glove box than the four he pulled out why didn't i say
24:19stop the car after the passport show the road began to widen and we emerged out of the dark forest
24:25into the setting sun dark red and orange in the sky i could hear and then see the highway now
24:31i saw tiny houses across the highway i had no idea where exactly i was the frenchman asked me if i
24:37wanted to spend the night at his house we could eat dinner together a quick film of his filthy
24:42torture chamber basement ran through my head i politely said no my first words spoken since the
24:48order not to speak english i sincerely think that had i broken that command and blabbered something in
24:54the woods my story might have had a different ending it all came down to silence i can be silent
24:59sometimes one needs to be to contemplate the next move maybe one of the faces in the passports may
25:05not have been able to spring over her nature and started to talk or beg with fear would that have
25:10fed the killer's darkness as evil who really knows i got out at the side of the highway and with night
25:17settling in i watched him drive away i never went to the police because i didn't speak french and i
25:23thought maybe my imagination was just too damn active i yelled something into the night sky just
25:29wondering what the hell just happened it was fully dark now i was now exhausted after that little
25:34adventure and i soon fell asleep on the side of the highway the next morning i was worried what the new
25:40day would bring i looked at my hands am i still alive jump ahead 20 years and i'm teaching a german
25:47business student english in a cafe on a boulevard in leipzig germany for whatever reason we discussed this
25:52topic hitchhiking and i tell him my story my student promptly whips out his smartphone and google's french
25:59serial killers then he shows me pictures there he was i was shown a photo of serial killer patrice
26:06allegrae it was him all those years ago me and him on that strange ride i had never forgotten his face
26:13at that time 1990 there was a reported serial killer leaving bodies of girls on the french roadsides
26:20and highways he was in the midst of his killing hobby back then i had heard about a killer on the
26:25loose my french girlfriend told me to be careful hitchhiking back then i've often wondered if the
26:31murdered women and other men may have been buried in those woods we passed through slowly i now wish i
26:37had gone to the police and have since subsequently tried he's in jail and they're not interested
26:42maybe i could have helped stop more murders back then that's heavy on my soul and since then i felt the
26:49dark light in my body maybe the souls of the girls escaped with me desperate to get out of the forest
26:54you
