Story 1: The Airbnb Time Traveler
Timestamp: [05:22]
A listener recounts a disturbing experience at his Airbnb property, where strange occurrences lead him to suspect the presence of a time traveler.
Key Points:
-
Initial Sighting: The property owner notices a man in a white T-shirt, black shorts, and a backpack wandering his backyard through his Ring camera. The man enters a locked shed, prompting the owner to confront him via the microphone ([05:22]).
Listener: "Yo, what are you doing? Why are you in my shed? Are you looking for something? I see you. Get out of my shed. I'm gonna call the police if you don't leave." ([07:00])
-
Police Intervention: Upon calling the authorities, officers inspect the shed twice but find nothing, leaving the owner perplexed as the man seemingly disappears without a trace ([12:30]).
-
Mysterious Reappearance: The next day, a similar individual, noticeably older, is spotted by the camera. The listener connects the dots, theorizing the second man resembles Stephen A. Miller, a Harvard graduate obsessed with time travel who died in 2018 ([14:50]).
Listener: "I believe it was a time traveler. I saw what I saw. And unless I get evidence that proves it otherwise, that's what I saw." ([15:40])
Host Commentary: Terry Carnation humorously speculates on the possibility of time travelers using ordinary sheds as TARDIS-like portals, blending the eerie narrative with lighthearted banter.
Terry Carnation: "Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' into the future of my shed. Something like that seems like something that a time traveler might say." ([16:26])
Story 2: Haunting at Nana’s House
Timestamp: [21:41]
The second story delves into the unnerving experiences of a college student living with her nana, highlighting unexplained phenomena that escalate over several nights.
Key Points:
-
First Encounter: While at her nana's second-floor bedroom, the student hears a knock at her window. Despite the closed yet slightly ajar Venetian blinds, the presence outside is menacing, causing her to freeze in fear ([21:41]).
Student: "My entire body went cold. I just stood there, frozen. I couldn't move." ([24:00])
-
Strange Footprints: Upon seeking help, her boyfriend discovers large boot prints on the rarely used rooftop, deepening the mystery as aerial access doesn't align with the intruder's apparent movements ([28:15]).
-
Escalation: Over consecutive nights, the disturbances intensify with rocks thrown at windows and loud knocks, but no visible intruders are ever found. The final night brings a bizarre twist when the boyfriend and his friends appear at her window with her phone, raising more questions than answers ([34:30]).
Student: "It's a different type of knocking. It had a different feel to it." ([30:00])
Host Commentary: Terry interjects with empathetic yet humorous remarks, encouraging listeners to remain calm and questioning the supernatural elements of the story.
Terry Carnation: "Jesus, people, if you want a woman's attention, just woo her in a normal and approachable way. You don't have to be so weird about it." ([31:54])
