13x06: An Obscene Phone Call and The Bloody Man
Digest
This podcast delves into a series of unsettling encounters with strangers, highlighting the vulnerability and fear that can arise in everyday situations. The stories range from a young boy's terrifying encounter with a masked intruder to a woman's harrowing experience with a customer who stalked her after a dispute. One story recounts a man's suspicion that his wife was almost a victim of human trafficking after a strange encounter with a woman who offered to help them after a flat tire. Another story describes a man's encounter with a well-dressed man at a bar who suggested he could "kill people" and offered him a job that involved traveling and getting paid well. The podcast also includes accounts of encounters with individuals exhibiting erratic behavior, such as a man wiping blood off his face and having a bloody knife in his car, and a woman covered in blood who banged on a family's door late at night. These stories serve as a reminder of the potential dangers that can lurk in seemingly ordinary situations and the importance of being aware of one's surroundings and trusting one's instincts.
