A woman who heard the podcast was reminded of a time that she has tried to forget her own encounter with Sean Evans.

This was in Galway at about 2.30am on a Monday morning.

This young woman had an experience that has stayed with her for her whole life.

She was driving back on her own after being away for the weekend.

I was 20 years old, driving back to Galway City.

On the outskirts of the city, I was about to turn off the main road.

I came around a corner and this green car was in the middle of the road.

So I indicated and I passed them out.

Didn't think too much of it, but as soon as I did, they were after me.

It was terrifying.

They tried to put me off the road a couple of times.

I could see there were two men in the car, chasing me.

But I continued to drive to where I was staying, which was with a relative in a nearby housing estate.

As I pulled up outside the house, they pulled in alongside me, right beside my passenger door.

I could see the driver.

He had a beard and was wearing glasses.

I saw the second man going behind the car and coming around to my side.

So I just hopped out of my car.

I had the house key in my hand and I thought, Jesus Christ, what am I going to do?

I said, if you want to rob me, I have no money.
