Featuring narrations by: Sky Alley Maxwell Glick Dacey Else Ecnal J Katy Peterson Story 1: The Cowboy Hat Stalker Narrated by: Sky Alley A 13-year-old girl notices an unusually tall man in a cowboy hat following her through a supermarket. He begins chasing her, but she escapes to her mother’s car. The following day, police arrest an armed robbery suspect hiding outside her apartment building with a handgun pointed toward her living-room window. She later recognizes him on the news as the same man from the store. Story 2: The White Van Narrated by: Maxwell Glick Two six-year-old friends are riding their bikes when a rusted, windowless white van begins driving beside them. The men inside open the doors and say, “You grab one, I’ll grab the other.” The girls race back to a nearby house. The van follows them and slowly passes the home before eventually leaving. Story 3: The JROTC Stalker Narrated by: Dacey Else A high-school freshman becomes friends with an older student in JROTC. His behavior gradually escalates from gifts and notes to surveillance, manipulation and stalking. After she rejects him, he appears outside her bedroom window. Security footage later reveals that he had been visiting her window every night for nearly a month. Other girls report similar behavior, but after the evidence is given to authorities, he mysteriously disappears. Story 4: The Abandoned Barn Narrated by: Ecnal J During the COVID-19 lockdown, two seven-year-old boys explore a hidden trail outside their neighborhood. Deep in the woods, they hear cries and discover an isolated barn surrounded by blood, broken glass and bloody handprints. One boy looks inside and screams, but he never tells anyone what he saw. In later years, the narrator repeatedly returns to the area but is unable to find the barn again. Story 5: The Blue Creature Narrated by: Katy Peterson A four-year-old girl slips outside her family’s rural Texas home and encounters a wet, child-sized blue figure on the porch. She becomes transfixed by its eyes and then experiences a gap in her memory. She suddenly regains awareness at the dinner table with wet hair and clothes. Years later, her sister recalls that she had been behaving mechanically and seemed emotionally absent. The narrator believes the creature temporarily took control of her body.
