00:00The woman was too stunned to speak.
00:02I'm sorry, I'm taking someone to the poo-poo party court.
00:04Did I do court back then?
00:05Because that is not all right.
00:07This is not a drill.
00:09We are halfway to Halloween.
00:11Halloween is cool.
00:12So I am giving you exactly what you want.
00:15And we are reading real, true, horrifying Reddit stories.
00:19Let's get into it.
00:20I grew up in a funeral home, helped out in the office.
00:23When I was about 15, we got a call from a man
00:25whose wife and infant baby had been canceled in cold blood.
00:30There were very few clues and it made headlines.
00:33Cops set up surveillance at the viewing.
00:35It was heartbreaking as the mother was holding the baby in her arms.
00:39Oh, I always hear that.
00:41I always hear from funeral people that babies are the hardest.
00:43If I died in childbirth, I'd want my baby in my arms too.
00:48I was asked to take the flower cards and periodically get the husband
00:52and ask if he recognized the names.
00:54Then I photocopied them and put them back.
00:57I did it because I was a kid.
00:59People knew me and I was not obtrusive.
01:02And abusive?
01:04Define that, please.
01:05I talked to the husband quite a bit and he seemed devastated and shaken.
01:09As we expected.
01:11The cops told me that they had an eyewitness to someone leaving the house
01:14the day of the murder.
01:15The witness was a three-year-old little girl.
01:17She recognized the man leaving.
01:19It was the husband's best friend.
01:22Right to jail, right away.
01:23Turns out that the friend and the husband had made a pact to kill each other's families
01:29and run off with their secretaries.
01:33What?
01:34The little girl identified the friend and I guess one of them cracked.
01:39What the p*** wants?
01:40What the p*** wants?
01:41They both went to jail on multiple counts.
01:43All on the testimony of a three-year-old girl.
01:46I still cannot believe to this day that that man stood right beside me.
01:51Multiple times and I had no clue.
01:54I don't think I ever looked at life the same way after that.
01:57Yeah, you wouldn't.
01:58Being someone who has touched in the realm of the M word.
02:01Red rock.
02:02Yeah, you're never the same.
02:04You never look at anyone the same.
02:05You never trust anyone the same.
02:07It is what it is.
02:08Probably for the best.
02:09Not the murder.
02:10Looking at life differently.
02:12The Cincinnati Privy Disaster of 1904.
02:16Although the morning paper said it would be a fair warming day,
02:19the horizon darkened with looming rain.
02:21Principal Thomas L. Simmerman watched the fidgeting children
02:25as they lined up in the hall
02:26and decided to give them a few minutes of frolic and exercise.
02:30A little rain wouldn't hurt them.
02:31At precisely 10.15 a.m.
02:33September 23rd, 1904.
02:35Simmerman rang the bell to release the students
02:38from the Pleasant Ridge School for morning recess
02:40and watch them file outside.
02:42Caring little about the threatening skies,
02:44the boys immediately started a game of baseball.
02:48The girls scattered about the playground in smaller groups.
02:51Simmerman had misjudged the proximity of the approaching storm.
02:54Only a few moments had passed before the wind kicked up
02:57and the first scattered raindrops started to fall.
03:00The ball game continued for another minute.
03:02The girls huddled together but didn't seek shelter
03:05until a sudden downpour caught them off guard.
03:08The boys playing ball and most of the girls
03:10ran for the school building.
03:11But some of the girls, at least 30 of them,
03:14made a dash for the outhouse
03:16on the other side of the playground.
03:18The outhouse was positioned over a 12-foot deep stone vault
03:21and located on the east side of Pleasant Ridge School.
03:24The building was 11 years old
03:26and had been repaired several times just a year prior
03:30The school had hired a carpenter to install new seats
03:32and replace the flooring and siding.
03:35The carpenter presumed that the building was sound
03:37when he laid the floor over the old one,
03:39which he did without inspecting the joys.
03:42Great.
03:42A leash score, 14, was among the girls to enter the privy.
03:46When she saw how many girls were in,
03:47she tried to squeeze into the small smelly place.
03:50She had a vision of a collapsing floor
03:52and tried to get out,
03:53but the bottleneck on the side of the door
03:55pushed her back inside.
03:5812-year-old Hazel heard someone say,
04:00oh, what if this would break down with us here?
04:03The words had hardly come out of her mouth
04:04when something happened.
04:06Hazel said, without the slightest groaning
04:08of the wood or tremble of the floor,
04:10the joys on the side of the building,
04:12sodden from years of moisture, gave way.
04:15In an instant, the entire floor
04:17crashed to the bottom of the vault,
04:19carrying with it a crowd of shocked and frightened girls.
04:22There were at least 31 girls, maybe even 35,
04:25inside the tiny room when the floor fell
04:27from underneath them.
04:29The floor fell nearly eight feet straight down
04:32and disintegrated,
04:34churning with the children in a stone vault
04:36with a pool of foul water feet deep.
04:39The children were as young as seven.
04:41In the panic that ensued,
04:42it became a battle for life.
04:43The girls unwittingly pitted against each other
04:46for survival as they tried to climb out of the vault
04:48and into the four-foot deep pool of waste.
04:51Oh, he just nods and disgusts that.
04:54The weaker ones were crushed down by the stronger
04:56and forced under the mass of filth to their death.
05:00Simmerman wrote an account published
05:02in the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune,
05:04I did not realize the awful calamity
05:06that had overcome us,
05:07but hurried in the direction of the outbuilding.
05:08No warning from the hysterical girls screaming in the rain
05:11could have prepared Simmerman
05:13for what he was about to discover.
05:15There was only one narrow door to the outhouse.
05:17A dozen toilet seats were still attached
05:19to the three sides of the wall,
05:20but there was no floor at all.
05:22The sight of the girls,
05:23some of them scrambling to the walls,
05:25others struggling to keep their heads
05:27above the sinking waste,
05:28and nearly all of them screaming,
05:30help me, save me,
05:31caused the principal to stagger back in almost vain.
05:34Simmerman quickly rallied himself,
05:36called out for a rope and ladders,
05:38and teachers leaped into action.
05:40But the stepladders from the school were too short,
05:42and the ropes were clotheslines
05:44that proved to be as rotten as the pivvy choice.
05:47Coroner Weaver issued his verdict on October 19th,
05:50citing suffocation as the cause of the nine deaths
05:53and declaring gross negligence
05:55on the part of the Board of Education.
05:57No charges were ever filed or indictments issued.
06:00The woman was too stunned to speak.
06:02I'm sorry, I'm taking something to the poo-poo party court.
06:05Did I do court back then?
06:06Because that is not all right.
06:08Next up, this one's about a morgue.
06:10Great.
06:10Work to the graveyard,
06:11cleaning crew for a hospital in my early 20s.
06:14One of the most unexpected aspects of the job
06:16was removing recently expired patients to the morgue.
06:20But that wasn't in the interview, was it?
06:22And then you show up and they're like,
06:23this is Francis.
06:24You're gonna roll Francis down the hall
06:26for his last little walk of life.
06:28Great.
06:28It didn't bother me much.
06:29Okay, cool.
06:30It didn't bother me much that they were dead.
06:32Just that they were now creepy life-sized dolls.
06:34That's a weird way to look at it, but all right.
06:38There was only one instance that spooked me so bad.
06:41My coworker and I were given notice to move a body out
06:44and clean up the room for its next occupant.
06:47We got up there, got the woman's body out of the bed
06:50and onto a gurney and went around making sure
06:52that the various apparati around the bed
06:55was dormant, nurse's job.
06:57But we were always told to check.
06:59I go stand at the foot of the gurney
07:00to direct it when my coworker squeaks.
07:03Dude, she's awake.
07:04Can you imagine?
07:06They're like, yeah, go take this dead person down.
07:08And then they're just like,
07:09so you want to party?
07:10That'd be me.
07:11I'd wake up and I'd be like,
07:12whoa, they sent me back.
07:14Shit.
07:16The lady was blinking rapidly
07:17over freaky glassed over dead eyes.
07:21Anyone who has seen a dead person eyes
07:23knows what I'm talking about.
07:24There is clearly no life left in the body.
07:27I can attest to that
07:28when my grandmother died of pancreatic cancer.
07:30That was wild.
07:32You know they're gone.
07:33In that moment, you're like,
07:34we are meat sacks.
07:36We both freaked out
07:38and screamed for the nurses who came running.
07:40They called a code whatever,
07:42thinking she might be waking up.
07:43My coworker and I just backed up,
07:45flattened ourselves against the windows
07:47and watched the ruckus.
07:48Amen.
07:49The woman was stone dead.
07:51No breathing,
07:52no heartbeat,
07:53no brain activity,
07:54nada.
07:55None of the nurses or the doctor
07:56could tell us
07:57why the woman was blinking
07:59several hours post-mortem.
08:02I'm wondering if it's some kind of rigor mortis,
08:04some kind of nerve thing in the body,
08:06but that's weird.
08:08Other than that,
08:08nothing weird has ever happened
08:10except for feeling like a bad person
08:12because I was amused by a cardiac patient
08:14who passed away from the effort of self-tickling.
08:17I would have went home.
08:18I would have been like,
08:18I need to go home
08:19because I need to process what just happened
08:20because that just opens a lot of questions
08:22about life and death.
08:24Great.
08:24Sounds fun.
08:25Am I an asshole for being angry
08:26that my roommate was sleeping under my bed
08:28for months without telling me?
08:30I'm just going to say no.
08:31Immediately, you're not an asshole.
08:33That's, he's an asshole.
08:34That's weird.
08:34Okay.
08:35I, 24 male,
08:36have lived with my roommate,
08:38Coral, 24 male,
08:39for two years.
08:40A few months into rooming with him,
08:42he told me he was pansexual.
08:43I said, okay, cool.
08:45I am not interested in that personal information,
08:48nor am I judgmental.
08:50I said, all right, all right.
08:51A few times over the past year,
08:53he has asked me
08:54if I have ever considered experimenting with other men.
08:57I said, no.
08:58Also, I said I didn't feel comfortable
09:00with him asking me such a personal question.
09:02It's not like we were close friends.
09:04We were only roommates by happenstance.
09:07Anyway, every time I said this,
09:09he basically said, we'll see.
09:11I was like, what?
09:12Anyways, last night,
09:13I had such a horrifying experience.
09:15I heard a noise under my bed.
09:17It was a movement.
09:18At first, I thought it was imagining things,
09:21but then I heard it again.
09:22I thought, oh God,
09:23it is a mouse or a rat or some shit.
09:25My God, this was like 3 a.m.
09:27So I got out of bed
09:28and I looked under my bed
09:30with my phone flashlight.
09:32Now, this was the most startling moment of my life.
09:35There under my bed was my roommate
09:37staring wide-eyed at me
09:39and he screeched when I looked under the bed.
09:42No, no.
09:44I literally thought I was having a heart attack.
09:46I then just started hearing,
09:47sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
09:49My roommate crawled out from under the bed crying.
09:51I was so creeped out and afraid
09:53that I ran out of the apartment in my pajamas.
09:56There was a Dunkin' Donut that was open 24 seven,
09:58a couple of blocks away from me.
10:00So I just sat in there with a decaf
10:02and a breakfast sandwich with my heart thundering away.
10:04My roommate kept texting me, asking me to talk.
10:07I ignored it.
10:08Babe, you get your parents to go move you out
10:10and you never talk to that person again, okay?
10:12Call the cops, it's really creepy.
10:13I don't know.
10:14You call the cops?
10:15Would you call the cops?
10:16In the text, he found a way to horrify me even further.
10:20He confessed that he had been sleeping under my bed
10:22for a few nights a week for three or four months
10:25and that he was doing it to get closer to me
10:28and physically saturate each other.
10:30What the fuck?
10:32One night you see me and you get scared.
10:33I mean, well, what about all the other nights
10:35when you don't see me, huh?
10:37I waited for him to go to work
10:38and I ran into the apartment, got my essentials and left.
10:42I am currently crashing with a buddy.
10:44Our lease is up in one month
10:45and my intention is to simply not renew.
10:48Ding!
10:49This dude is blowing up my phone
10:51and I am getting texts from other people.
10:53He is going around telling people that I shamed him
10:55and that I'm rejecting his apologies.
10:57Some people are claiming that I'm overreacting
10:59and invalidating his feelings.
11:01Most people agree that he was improper,
11:03but that I should work it out with him
11:05and give him a second chance because he's sensitive.
11:07No, sorry, I'm not one of those people.
11:09So am I an asshole or is everyone around me a fucking nut?
11:13You're not the asshole.
11:14As a pansexual person,
11:15I would like to say for our group of people that-
11:18No, I'm so sorry, babe.
11:20That's gross.
11:21And horrifying.
11:22This is under Reddit thread called
11:24Reddit, what's the creepiest true story
11:25someone has ever told you?
11:27Let's get into it.
11:28Way back in the fifth grade or so,
11:29I discovered a glorious Pokemon-themed chat room
11:32through the wonders of Yahoo.
11:34Within this chat room,
11:35there were maybe 15 regulars,
11:37generally between the ages of 12 and 16 or so.
11:40We had a great time role-playing
11:41various anime characters and storylines.
11:44Anyway, I got to know a few people from there overall,
11:47well enough, to chat with them on AIM.
11:49Is it A-I-M or AIM?
11:50That's before my time.
11:51Or by phone.
11:52And a few of those friendships
11:53lasted a good four or five years.
11:55One of these guys was a little eccentric.
11:58He loved creature monster models and stories.
12:02He believed in things like chupacabras,
12:04which I thought was silly, but didn't really care.
12:07He lived out in the boonies in some Midwestern state.
12:09After getting to know him pretty well
12:11and having a good 100 hours of phone conversations
12:14over the years,
12:15he finally revealed this lovely story.
12:19Here we go.
12:19He told me that sometimes he would black out
12:22and wake up to discover that he had
12:24or was still in the process of hurting animals and children.
12:28When he revealed this to me,
12:29I felt sick inside.
12:31I love animals.
12:32And this information chilled me to the bone.
12:34It was really hard for him to tell me this.
12:36And he confided that I was one of the only people
12:39he had ever been able to tell.
12:41Then it got weirder.
12:42How does it get weirder?
12:43Someone in his family or maybe a family friend
12:46decided that he must be possessed by a demon
12:48and that they had to perform an exorcism.
12:51They did it at night, of course,
12:52in a dark room lit by candles.
12:54And he was tied to the bed
12:56because they didn't know how the demon would react.
12:58I could hear his voice quivering
12:59because he was so emotional and terrified
13:02at this part of the story.
13:03He said that they heard something hit the floor
13:06under the bed when the demon left his body.
13:09Then something scrabbled across the floor
13:11and out of the room into the darkness,
13:13leaving claw marks on the wood floor.
13:17He was totally and completely serious about this
13:20and how it cured him.
13:21And he didn't hurt things anymore.
13:23As any sane person would do,
13:25I noped the f*** right out of that situation.
13:28Yay, men.
13:29I'm glad you noped out of that.
13:30I'm really gonna hope this is someone
13:32just trolling you on the internet
13:33because I just don't want to believe
13:33that they were doing anything like that.
13:35I just don't want to.
13:35How could you do that?
13:37My HIV story.
13:39What?
13:39I was on a trip on my first commercial flight
13:42to visit my girlfriend
13:43and I didn't feel well.
13:45Once I got off the plane,
13:46I made it to the hotel
13:47and had bouts of nausea and diarrhea
13:50for a few days straight
13:52when I finally decided to go to a hospital.
13:55Baby, that's my everyday.
13:57After waiting hours,
13:58I was let into a room
13:59and sometime later,
14:00a woman wearing a mask and gloves entered.
14:03Please leave the room,
14:04she told my girlfriend.
14:05Let's call her Beatrice.
14:06No, she can stay, it's okay, I said.
14:09The doctor still hadn't looked at me
14:10but looked back to Beatrice.
14:12I think you should leave.
14:13I looked to Beatrice and said,
14:14can you please wait outside?
14:16Right as the doctor closed the door,
14:18the doctor said, you have HIV.
14:19My mind instantly started racing,
14:21trying to problem solve.
14:23I can't have AIDS.
14:24I got tested before being with Beatrice.
14:26I was clean, I said.
14:27The doctor again, you have HIV.
14:29While avoiding eye contact,
14:30I looked at my palms for the first time in my life.
14:33They were sweating, really sweating.
14:35I said again, I can't, I've been tested.
14:37The doctor flipped a page and asked my name,
14:40which I responded.
14:41And finally, the doctor's contact made eyes with my own.
14:44I am so sorry, I have the wrong chart.
14:46You have strep throat and laryngitis.
14:48I remember the world ending
14:50and then feeling the most relief
14:51I've ever experienced in my life.
14:53When I told Beatrice the whole story,
14:55she awkwardly laughed and said,
14:57but you don't have AIDS, right?
14:58To this day, when I tell people what happened,
15:00a good portion say, but you don't have AIDS, right?
15:02A whole lot of f***ing nope.
15:04A terrifying but true story
15:06I experienced when I was 12.
15:08I moved to my dad's when I was 10
15:10and didn't know anyone in the area
15:11except for the family my dad's was friends with,
15:14a single mom with three kids.
15:17Luckily, there was a girl a couple years older than me
15:19and we got to know each other a little over a couple years.
15:23We weren't close, but ended up having the same friends.
15:26One night, my friend Rob was hanging out
15:28with her and her younger brother.
15:30They happened to be in the house alone
15:31because my friend's mom was at work,
15:34which is where this gets terrifying and sad.
15:37Her mother had been helping this one lady through her work
15:40and had gotten to know her fairly well.
15:43She found out her sister was in a mental institution
15:46and was let out recently.
15:48The night Rob was hanging out with my friend,
15:50they got a knock on the door.
15:52My friend thought it was just their mom.
15:54She knocks a certain way when coming in
15:56and answered it without thinking.
15:58Rob wasn't supposed to be there
15:59and he took off through the window
16:01to his house down the road.
16:03He never thought about it twice.
16:04It wasn't her mom.
16:06It was the sister of the lady her mom was helping
16:09and she figured out through talking to her sister
16:12where the family lived and her mom's working schedule.
16:15She came in and this is where I don't know details,
16:19but I'm glad I don't.
16:20My friend's younger brother got away
16:22to the neighbors to call the police.
16:24The lady brutally canceled my friend a week from Christmas.
16:28De-cat her and left her body, new kid,
16:32in the bathtub and hit her head.
16:34They had to look through the presents
16:36and I don't know where they found it, but they did.
16:38I was not allowed to go to her funeral.
16:42That reminds me of the movie, The Visit.
16:44If you're ever wondering what movie scared me the most,
16:46The Visit.
16:47I don't know what it is about creepy old people,
16:50but we're all gonna be one.
16:51Oh, I'm definitely gonna be a creepy old person.
16:53I can't wait for that.
16:54That's horrifying.
16:56Oh, another school one, great.
16:57In third grade, I had this strange short teacher
17:00named Mrs. Todd.
17:01She was always super nice to me in class.
17:04She'd always call on me to do the activities first,
17:07compliment me whenever I did anything,
17:09and was generally just very positive towards me.
17:12At the time, I thought she was perhaps
17:13my favorite person in the world.
17:15I remember even telling my mother
17:17about how much I loved Mrs. Todd.
17:19Anyways, one day, I sat down at my desk
17:22and opened it up to put crap in it,
17:24when shockingly, I saw there was
17:26a Victoria's Secret magazine
17:28sitting in the pull-out drawer.
17:30The kid sitting next to me noticed how shocked I was,
17:33I thought I was going to get in trouble,
17:35and we started talking about
17:36how it might have gotten in there.
17:38Almost immediately, Mrs. Todd walks up and asks,
17:41what have you got there?
17:42I was seriously confused,
17:43and I told her it was just sitting in my desk
17:45when I got there this morning.
17:46Well, she looks at me and tells me that the kid sitting next to me
17:50must have put it in there.
17:51She kept repeating that statement over and over again,
17:54both to him and me,
17:55until I finally admitted that I guess he must have put it in there.
17:58Maybe a few days after that,
18:00she approached me after class
18:01to tell me about this special field trip I could go on
18:04if I kept doing well in class.
18:06It would be a trip with just her and I
18:08to the Gulf of Mexico for the weekend.
18:11I remember being really excited about it at the time,
18:14however, suddenly she got replaced at school,
18:17and we got this new teacher that didn't like me as much.
18:20I was so heartbroken at the time,
18:22it's not until many years later,
18:23I realized how f***ed up that situation was,
18:26and it scares me thinking about it.
18:27Your teacher was grooming you.
18:30Welcome to the grooming session.
18:32Very, very glad nothing bad happened,
18:34so, so sorry.
18:36Well, guys, definitely gonna sleep a little weirder tonight,
18:38be real thankful that I've made my world about this big,
18:41and I have seven people that I like in it.
