The teacher was going out of his mind, then finally
0:02
one night, before the girl hung up, he managed
0:04
to ask, Who are you? In
0:07
a weak voice the girl replied, I'm in
0:09
your class, teacher. You know me. When
0:15
the adrenaline finally kicked in, I turned and
0:17
ran outside my room, flinging the doors open
0:20
so hard, they hit the outside of the
0:22
building with a bang. The security guard stood
0:24
up this time. What's wrong? He said. I
0:26
think there's someone in my room. The
0:30
mother grabbed a knife and ended up stabbing her husband
0:32
to death. Gorgeous! No, I love that!
0:35
International Women's Day, kill the man. Stunning.

7:56
book is a bit too good for its

8:16
And points to a person who is
8:18
financially secure enough to live comfortably. This
8:21
is about someone supported by her own
8:23
business. Fucking hell. I was thinking about...
8:25
That's a bit on the nose. International women's day. Yeah,
8:27
that's a bit on the nose. Fuck
8:30
me. Great. And bone business
8:32
inheritance or property. This is one person
8:34
in a thousand. This fortunate individual has
8:36
turned... One person in a thousand? Yeah.
8:38
Fuck. This fortunate
8:41
individual has turned a historical accident into a
8:43
personal opportunity. This is one who has the
8:45
vision and strength of character to hold onto
8:47
games against all odds. Do not be fooled
8:49
at the apparent ease displayed on this card.
8:52
The person pictured is at the tail end of
8:54
a long and stressful process of winning the right
8:57
to be taken seriously. All of this grace has
8:59
been paid for. Gorgeous.
9:01
Times over. Thrilled. Excellente.
9:06
I couldn't be happier with that to be honest with
9:08
you. I'm absolutely thrilled. Very nice. Okay,
9:11
do you want us sharing? Yes,
9:13
please. You
9:15
did have last week the Facebook dead
9:19
girlfriend messages. Yes. We will
9:21
do that next week because to be quite honest,
9:23
I haven't had enough time to research it. So
9:25
that will be coming, but it will be in
9:27
the next episode. Okay. So this story
9:29
is about...
9:32
It's quite dark.
9:35
It's about imaginary friends. Amazing. That's
9:38
quite bad. As we said,
9:40
we fucking hate that anyway. Okay, you ready? Yes.
9:45
Such ordinary things make me afraid.
9:47
What's sunny days, dark shadows on grass,
9:50
and children with red hair in the
9:52
name Harry. My
9:55
daughter Christine was five years old. It was a
9:57
hot sunny day and she was playing alone in
9:59
the garden. I overheard her
10:01
talking to somebody. I went outside to see
10:03
who it was, but nobody there. I
10:06
was puzzled. Who are you talking to? I
10:08
asked. Harry. She
10:10
replied. Harry who?
10:13
I asked. She shrugged her
10:15
shoulders. Just Harry. She said.
10:17
It's not a five year old's voice, I've got no idea. That
10:19
evening when my husband came home from work, I told him
10:21
about it. He said it was normal for kids that
10:23
age to have imaginary friends. I tried to
10:25
put it out of my mind, but something about that name...
10:28
Harry. Sent a shiver
10:30
down my spine. The next
10:32
day, Christine was playing in the garden again while I was
10:34
in the kitchen. Again, I heard her
10:37
talking to someone. When I looked out the window, I
10:39
thought I could see a dark shadow on the grass.
10:42
It looked like a person, but maybe it was just my
10:44
eyes playing tricks on me. I
10:46
tapped on the window and told Christine to come inside for
10:48
dinner. Can Harry come too? She
10:51
asked. No, I said. Harry
10:53
has to stay outside. But he's
10:56
hungry. She whined. Who
10:58
is Harry? I asked. He's
11:00
my brother. She replied. But
11:03
you don't have a brother, I told her. Yes, I
11:05
do. His name's Harry. Who told
11:08
you that? I asked. Harry told me.
11:10
I mean, it's just very aggressive, isn't it now? My
11:12
daughter spent every day in the garden talking to her imaginary friend.
11:15
After a while, it began to worry me, so I took her
11:17
to see a psychiatrist. All
11:19
children need friends their own age, the psychiatrist
11:21
told me. If they don't have friends, they
11:24
invent them. It's a normal part of childhood. She
11:27
will forget about it. Talking to the
11:29
psychiatrist reassured me, but I couldn't help but feeling a
11:31
little bit nervous. A few days
11:33
later, Christine started school. I dropped her
11:35
off in the morning for her first day. I kissed her on
11:38
the forehead and waved goodbye. Then watched
11:40
as she walked up to the front door of the school and
11:42
went inside. There was something I
11:44
had to do. I took a bus into
11:46
the city and made my way to a large
11:48
grey building. It had been four long years since
11:50
I visited here. It was the orphanage where we
11:52
adopted Christine. The woman who ran the
11:54
orphanage opened the door. I opened the door and invited me inside. needed
12:00
to know about Christian's story. Who
12:02
were her birth parents? Where were they now? Had they
12:04
died and if so, how had they died? I'm
12:07
sorry the woman said we have strict rules about divulging
12:09
such information. I told her it was very important, I
12:11
begged and pleaded. I even got down on my knees
12:13
at one point and eventually she gave in. Very
12:16
well she said but this must remain strictly between the
12:18
two others. Christine was born to a
12:20
very poor family. Her parents didn't really
12:22
want her and they'd neglected their children. The
12:25
house they lived in was in a terrible condition. One
12:28
night the father and mother got into a violent
12:30
argument. The mother grabbed a knife and ended up
12:32
stabbing her husband to death. Gorgeous!
12:34
No I love that! International women
12:36
say, kill the man. Stunning.
12:39
When the police arrived it was all over. They found
12:41
Christine in the garden clutched in the arms of her
12:43
brother. She was unharmed but her brother had died in
12:45
the incident. He had been
12:47
stabbed and was dying and he managed to put up Christian and
12:50
take her to safety. They found their father
12:52
and mother inside the house and the mother had
12:54
taken her own life. This is quite odd. My
12:56
eyes were welling up with tears. What was his
12:59
name? Harry. I
13:03
stumbled out of the orphanage in a daze and I
13:05
wandered through the streets with no idea of where I
13:08
was going. The name Harry was floating around in my
13:10
brain. I felt like I was in a nightmare. I
13:12
was so frightened but I didn't know why. Then I
13:14
looked at my watch. It was after three o'clock. I had
13:16
to pick Christine up from school and I was already late.
13:19
I hopped on a bus and eventually I arrived at the
13:21
school. I walked down the hallway and went into the classroom
13:23
where I found the teacher gathering up her books. I'm
13:26
so sorry I'm late I gasped. Where's Christine? Christine?
13:30
She's gone. Gone? I cried.
13:32
Yeah her brother picked her up a few minutes ago. My
13:35
heart sank in my chest. Without another word
13:37
I ran outside and started shouting my daughter's
13:39
name. I was running down the street searching
13:42
for my daughter screaming and crying hysterically. It
13:44
was no use. She was gone. I spent the
13:46
next two weeks in bed. The police searched for
13:48
Christine but they never found any trace of her.
13:51
Her picture was in the newspaper. Her face was on milk
13:53
cartons. Everybody was looking for her but it was as
13:55
if she had disappeared into thin air. After
13:58
a while people lost interest in the search was called
14:00
off. It remained just another unsolved mystery.
14:02
Years have passed since then but the pain in my heart
14:05
never goes away. Such ordinary things
14:07
make me feel afraid. Hot sunny days,
14:09
dark shadows on grass and children with
14:11
red hair and the name Harry. Ooooh,
14:14
spook it! Harry
14:17
is a kidnapper. Oh good,
14:19
he's a kidnapper. He's a
14:21
kidnapper. I love it. Thank
14:24

15:13
really sleep and I just happened to click on it
15:15
and we'll
15:18
call the sender
15:20
I because it's anonymous.
15:24
Okay, hi
15:26
Hans, ghost story for you. It's
15:28
a long one but should be a good
15:30
one with plenty of atmosphere. Please keep it
15:32
anonymous. Thank you. For some context my fiancé
15:34
and I have worked in corrections, in brackets
15:36
jail, for a number of years.
15:38
I'm working at night in large facilities with
15:41
empty cells where lots of violence and occasionally
15:43
deaths happen. It's not uncommon to hear things,
15:45
see things or feel weird things in the
15:47
night but that's a story for another time.
15:50
But more recently I moved into a
15:52
similar field, Emitted due to
15:54
the type of work it is, which has me
15:57
working in an extremely remote location for upwards of
15:59
a month. The time it's similar
16:01
to a security job and with
16:03
my background on for a security
16:05
conscious things like international mining camp
16:07
sol living and shipping containers, dirt
16:10
roads and very little infrastructure. however
16:12
this is on a remote islands
16:14
five hour flight from the mainland.
16:18
If you need to leave the island for any
16:20
reason, there were two flights a week and if
16:22
for whatever reason like a medical emergency, you don't
16:24
leave at a time you need to be. Forever
16:29
reason she have a medical emergency You
16:32
need to be airlifted. All for that
16:34
can be hours. It's extremely I slipped.
16:37
This. Particular job means I'm part of a
16:39
small staff. Twenty five to thirty was
16:41
roughly twenty of us on the island
16:43
at one time. The rest of the
16:45
island is largely deserted accept the the
16:47
locals that list that. A few shots,
16:49
government buildings, a small airport, and a
16:51
facility we work at. The. Lack
16:54
of cities means we get power outages often
16:56
as a whole place runs on generators on
16:58
the fuel has to be shipped in every
17:00
week and food is delivered once a week
17:02
to. The. Phone reception is
17:04
extremely unreliable to because where we are
17:06
never, we often have my phone and
17:09
snail coolest periods of time. Consequently, whilst
17:11
at work we use radios. Most of
17:13
the time have satellite phones for emergencies.
17:16
The. Staff are a great that like a practical
17:18
joke every now and then. We did
17:21
however agrees the group early on that while
17:23
we are our accommodation basically a shipping container
17:25
village add that we would look out for
17:27
each other and have no funny business as
17:29
a rule of the accommodation as we didn't
17:31
want to increase the stress or anyone in
17:33
an already difficult environment and with long shift.
17:36
It's. Are he chance to relax or for
17:38
the long haul? that with that. I've
17:42
heard stories of people catching chickens and putting
17:44
them and he was rooms as a joke
17:46
and no way was I taking the risk
17:48
of someone doing that may or doesn't stop
17:51
with practical jokes. What I. We. Have
17:53
dogs and cats live with us of the accommodation that we
17:55
prefer friend to. those are the last year or so and
17:57
I am they some some sleep in our rooms and keeps
17:59
company. And keep an eye out
18:01
for us during the night. We also have
18:03
local security staff at the accommodation Twenty four
18:06
seven oldest say it sounds like the perfect
18:08
set up to a horror movie. And.
18:10
You would be really. We. Start work
18:12
very early in the morning before the sun
18:14
is up at four Thirty Five Am and
18:16
all the staff drive together and a four
18:18
wheel drive. With that they approve up the
18:20
dirt track to the website. These.
18:23
Dirt tracks or an extremely bad
18:25
shape. For. The thought holes and
18:27
overgrown be trees. most of the time
18:29
rain comes along seemingly out of nowhere
18:31
making it muddy to on the cause
18:33
take an absolute beating going along the
18:35
state of the roads each day. So
18:37
the staff decided to stick together and
18:39
a convoy and case something happens. It
18:43
wasn't unusual on a drunk driver that full of
18:45
that motorbike or something and the dark and and
18:47
a wet on our way to work. And with
18:49
the state of the cause we didn't want staff
18:52
getting lost or injured. Was. Trying
18:54
to help someone the roads and sells
18:56
a flanked by large drops into shop
18:58
rock pinnacles. I was a local
19:00
joke the if you ever wanted to lose
19:02

19:04
and it would never be sounds again. Which.
19:07
From the state doesn't seem for after
19:09
she wakes settling into the job and
19:11

19:13
that whenever I would get into a
19:15
vehicle to drive at the rear view
19:17
mirror would be bent upwards so is
19:19
facing the Russians. The car on the
19:21

19:24
directions. thinking. This is a prank.
19:26
I initially thought nothing of it. Like.
19:28
A set of route like to have a bit of a laugh
19:30
with each other and messing with the costs just bit. And.
19:32
I mean some people seats old way

19:36
wasn't unusual, however. This. Thing with

The adrenaline finally kicked him. I turned

37:20
long day but a crepe? Hey, onto
37:22
the mind wanders in scale right? Welfare
37:24
kept a guy that I've got a
37:26
bad Russell corner. There
37:30
was a teacher who are exactly
37:32
thirty students and his club. He
37:34
had a reputation for being very
37:36
cruel. And strict, sometimes. When
37:38
his students misbehaved, he made them stay
37:41
back custody until late at. Night. In
37:43
the library? That sounds illegal. And
37:45
orders, make sure his students actually stayed there
37:48
intensely. Costs will go to sleep. He gave
37:50
them a cell phone number and instructed them
37:52
to call him a certain times during the
37:54
night and tell them less shoot number that
37:56
is not the see me. As a
37:59
return on. I
38:01
ride so he'd he'd make them cool limbs
38:03
and says the news whistle that again. This
38:05
went on for. A while but one I
38:08
received a strange call. He
38:10
answered as usual and heard a girl's
38:12
voice mumbling. He teach. I'm.
38:15
Not the thirty month. Before
38:17
he could say anything, she abruptly hung up on him.
38:20
A thirty didn't even realize that then he felt
38:22
furious as he saw of one of the students
38:24
is playing a joke at him and taken him
38:26
for a full of the next I used on
38:28
in the classroom and demanded that the students he
38:30
pulls the prank stand. Up and take responsibility
38:33
for. The classroom went silent and know
38:35
wants to. All. Of the students
38:37
denied knowing anything about it. He
38:39
threatened the whole class telling them he would beat the myth.
38:41
That. Happens again. Then again,
38:43
clan legal. Or
38:46
expectedly. it did happen again and exactly the
38:48
same time he received another phone call. Again,
38:50
it was the same girl's voice and she
38:52
says. Hi. Pizza. I'm
38:55
numbers echelon. He
38:57
tried twice against tell him and names. But. She hung
38:59
up for that attempts to open his mouth. The
39:02
next day he made good on his threats
39:04
and beat the students in the classroom One
39:06

39:08

39:25
someone I'm not of course no one
39:27

39:29
as to go to the other classes and I've done
39:31
about it, but no one would admit. To. Anything
39:33
because continues every night
39:36
exactly. The same way the teacher was
39:38
going out his mind some finally one night.
39:40
Before the game hung. Up. He managed to risk.

44:19
town with me to. it was during the summer
44:21

44:25
the summer we moved So it was simple. Started
44:27

44:44

44:47
classrooms and less than a minute the corridors.
44:49
Were deserted. I such as the front of a
44:51
pair of old looking wouldn't do so. I pushed
44:53
them open with the scraping sound of metal on
44:55
wood and they act I found myself in a
44:57
car. Door was old and dusty. the lockers will.
44:59
Hanging open, the stench of mold and tampon
45:01
damn near. As much sit
45:03
around and go babbel nice numbers and saw
45:06
a hundred when from one hundred and two.
45:08
I began walking down the hallway. When I peered through
45:10
the windows of each classroom, they were empty. Then.
45:13
I came to room on a full. I.
45:15
Picked through the window. all of the students,

45:19
blackboard and the classes and such a quietly
45:21

45:26
I started to apologize or could lisa being

I hurriedly found a free seats of these
45:34
front of the classroom and sometimes it's it's.
45:36
Readers you were and a name ensure on
45:39
the blackboard was mistake. I was nervous or self
45:41
conscious so I didn't want. To draw attention
45:43
to myself. Throughout the class, I just kept
45:45
my head down. And. Concentrate on salt in the
45:47
must problems. Eventually, after what seemed
45:49
like hours, the bell rang in the class ended
45:51

45:53
off the door. I'm not some, I watch no

at the smiling faces of Miss Taylor, all the
47:07
students I've. Been. In class With that very day
47:10
my hands are shaking and a children three
47:12
me. I spent all night trying to convince
47:14
myself that wasn't true. The. Next morning I
47:16
was too terrified to go back to school. A.
47:18
Breakdown: I'm told my parents who happened the first,
47:21
they thought it was just nerves posts by since
47:23
when is either. But.
47:25
Events, their strategies cases School for whole.
47:27
Week. Against and an emerald mean a
47:29
different one. I'm honestly I'm with my life
47:31
and tried my best. Forget all about the
47:33
incident but this morning I received a letter.
47:36
There's. No stump. An Irish Canada said
47:38
been handling. It. When. I opened
47:40
it and reds printed caught inside. My
47:42
hands started shaking again. It was an
47:45
invitation to a class reunion and it
47:47
was signed Miss Taylor. I
47:52
would go. Yeah,
47:54
take someone like that. Like the case. T reunion. I'll
47:56
just see what kind of yeah absolutely was
47:58
hires a heart attack. reckon there. Someone's
48:01
going, oh let's go. Ghost reunion sounds
48:03
like a goosebumps book. Yeah I miss
48:05
the goosebumps actually we should bring those
48:07
back. I know. They were good, I
48:10
liked those. Scared on my own little
48:12
ghost picture. Yeah guys that's the thing
48:14
you want. Okay do you want to
48:16
literally? Go ahead. My
48:21
wife keeps introducing me to people who aren't there.
48:23
I thought she
48:25
was playing a practical joke the first time she did it.
48:27
I was in the kitchen when she walked in
48:30
the front door mid conversation. She gave a brief
48:32
pause and introduced me to no one apparently called
48:34
Jess. I gave her a quizzical
48:36
glance but she carried on the conversation going as far
48:38
to pause as if waiting for the other person to
48:41
reply. Really Ian?
48:43
You can't say hello? There's
48:46
no one there I cried. We didn't
48:48
talk for a few days and then on the weekend she asked
48:50
if I wanted to go have some drinks with some friends. I
48:53
was still cranky but I agreed she was my
48:55
wife. We arrived to an empty apartment. She
48:58
told me not to bother knocking my wife smiled as
49:00
she let herself into the apartment. Said
49:03
she'd never hear us knocking over all the chatter. My
49:06
heart began to race as I watched my
49:08
wife lean down hugging people who were not
49:10
there. She gave names.
49:13
She gave names of who were sitting in each empty chair. I
49:16
stared around the empty room dazed. I
49:19
gingerly took a seat in what I was hoping
49:21
was an empty chair you know I mean and
49:23
tried to play along with my wife. It
49:26
happened again the next week. At an
49:28
art gallery, a friend's exhibition, I started to
49:30
lose my shit when I was stood in
49:32
an empty gallery looking at empty picture frames.
49:36
When I heard my wife ooh and ah over
49:38
a fucking empty frame I couldn't contain myself
49:40
any longer. I've got into you. She
49:43
hissed. I played along at the start
49:45
but this is a joke there's no one in the
49:47
fucking room. Faith
49:49
changed to worry. I haven't
49:52
been playing any practical jokes on you I swear
49:54
I think. I think you need to go to
49:57
the doctor. My wife wouldn't let up
49:59
about me. So I gave it.
50:02
Myself sitting in an empty doctor's office,
50:04
my wife nodding along to an empty
50:06
office chair. And. Week or so
50:08
later I arrived home from I was preparing dinner
50:10
in our kitchen. She. Gave me a sheepish
50:12
smile, a kiss on my cheek until misuse. Sorry for
50:14
messing with me. With
50:16
my wife and I loved her. Will. So she
50:19
ah she was that get around. And.
50:23
Chris. Was one of my college buddies.
50:25
We had recently reconnected and he invited me
50:27
and the wife over for dinner. I.
50:29
Greeted Christian introduced him to my wife.
50:31
We. Made some small talk, my wife was reserved
50:34
and I tried to include have in the conversation.
50:36
After. A while prescription tells us. laughed. Risk.
50:40
Of a nervous laugh and. Asked. If
50:42
everything was okay. You'll. Have to
50:44
quit his eyes not want me to mine. And.
50:48
It's there's no will. not. My.
50:51
Wife tells me she's rail. Her
50:54
