Digest

This episode of Morbid features listener tales about roommates from hell. The first story is about a college freshman who was randomly assigned a roommate who happened to be a kinky witch. The roommate, Molly, unpacked numerous crystals, incenses, and books on magic, and promptly informed her roommate that she would need lots of alone time and space to film porn for Twitter. Tensions quickly rose when the roommate found Molly filming herself in a maid costume with clamps on her nips. The roommate eventually got the R.A. to kick Molly out of the room, but not before Molly hexed her. The roommate then contracted the Rona, needed hospitalization, tore her ACL, suffered a brain bleed, and became deaf in one ear. The second story is about a college freshman who found her roommate sobbing in the bathtub with a mostly empty bottle of pink Whitney next to her. The roommate confessed to a heinous crime and then tried to kill her roommate by mixing toxic chemicals in the bathroom. The roommate reported the incident to campus police, but they chalked it up to teenage girl drama. The roommate eventually filed a no-contact order against her roommate, but she was never held accountable for her actions. The third story is about a college student who lived in an old farmhouse with her family. The student started noticing strange things happening in the house, including footsteps, shadows, and doors opening at random. The student eventually learned that two spirits, a man and a woman, were living in the house. The spirits were not malevolent, but they were mischievous. The student's parents also experienced strange events in the house, including wallpaper falling down and a new boiler rupturing. The student's family eventually moved out of the house, but the spirits remained. The fourth story is about a college student who had a roommate who was a total shit stain. The roommate was always grumpy and weird, and she would often have meltdowns and throw things at the wall. The roommate also sang creepy lullabies and stalked her roommate in the middle of the night. The student eventually moved out of the apartment, but the roommate remained. The student's roommate eventually got married and is now expecting her first baby. The fifth story is about a college student who moved into an apartment with two guy acquaintances. The student was warned by a friend that her roommates were planning to rob a friend and kill anyone else who happened to be in the apartment. The student ran out of the apartment and never looked back. The student later found out that her roommate was in prison serving life for murder. The student was grateful that she listened to her friend and trusted her instincts. The final story is about a listener who had a ghostly encounter with a young boy named Christopher in her apartment. The listener saw a solid black silhouette of a head and shoulders that looked like a young boy with a bowl haircut move across her window and then disappear into the darkness. The listener and her roommate used a Ouija board to try to make contact with Christopher, and he answered their questions. The listener felt something graze the back of her calf while she was in bed, and she believes it was Christopher. The listener said goodnight to Christopher and never saw, heard, or felt anything from him again.
