Thank you.
YO, WELCOME BACK TO CREEPCAST!
We're in person again, baby! Back in the library! We're reading three Little Grab Bags! Wait, were these the ones that were on Tales from the Creeps? No. These are all older. Oh, these are all older, but we are getting- we are gonna be reading some Tales from the Creeps here pretty soon. These are so, oh yeah, this is 14 years ago from a deleted user. This first one that we're reading is called the strangest security tape I've ever seen. And then wait, the next one is my doorbell sends a motion detected alert every night at 2.53. Found a forum full of users experiencing the exact same issue. Now something seriously strange is going on. And then lastly, I was an air traffic controller at Atlantic Municipal Airport, Iowa for 27 years.
My first year at the job, I unwillingly went from a firm atheist to a believer. The long overdue end. This is, these are fucking old. With long-ass titles like those, you bet your bottom dollar these are fucking old stories, dude. Good Lord. Well, the doorbell one's four years old. The doorbell one is?
What stories are being read in this episode?
Yeah. I was hearkening back to it. It has an old soul. Yeah. So, yes, we are in person again. Harry picked me up from the airport. Not Hunter. Harry picked me up from the airport, which I was going to hang over him. But we're getting started on the recording two hours late because I overslept. That is true. We are behind. You know, if you think about it. We should actually already have an episode done. You made me wait at the airport, so I made you wait in here. That did not affect literally anything. It could have, you know, hypothetically, given time and constraints and stuff. So I think we're even is what I'm trying to say. Okay, all right. Hey, if you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leave us a good review.
And if you are on our Patreon, thank you. Or consider joining the Patreon. There's good stuff there. Don't get that shrug in there. There's good stuff. Well, I think the shrug's on brand for you. You do like the sad e-boy thing a lot. Yeah, when they see me, they usually think of an e-boy. I mean, by definition. Can morbidly obese people be e-boys?
What strange events occur at the gas station?
I don't think they can. You're not morbidly obese. Morbidly. Yes, you can. You absolutely can. I didn't know. So the strangest security tape I've ever seen has been recommended a ton. I don't think you're familiar with this story, but it is an OG. This thing's been around a while. Pretty much everyone who did creepypasta readings back in the day covered it. We will begin with that one. And again, the other ones, Harry said that there is a theme to these stories, like an interconnected thing. So we'll see what that is as we go. But we can begin with the strangest security tape. Are you ready to get into it? Oh, I'm ready. Then let us begin. I work at a gas station in rural Pennsylvania. Already a terrifying country.
Pennsylvania. Oh, I've been to Pennsylvania. Went to Philly. One of the worst cities in America. Easily. That's a scary setup. Maybe not as bad as St. Louis, but horrible. Trashy. Horrible. Horrible place. Horrible fans of anything. Anything they like, they just love to hate and I worked at a gas station in rural Pennsylvania. It's a boring job, but it's pretty easy and it pays alright. A few weeks ago, this new guy started. I'll call him Jeremy. Jeremy is weird. He's about 25 or 26, and he hardly speaks, but he's got the creepiest laugh I've ever heard. My boss and I have both noticed this, but it's never been a problem, so there's not much we can do about it. Customers have never complained about him, and he's always done his job fairly well.
Up until a few weeks ago, anyway. That's when things started going missing. Employee theft can be a problem at any business that sells consumer goods, and there's only one person working at a time at this gas station. It's a pretty small place. About two weeks ago, my boss started noticing that we were short on motor oil. At first, it was a few containers at a time, then the entire shelves and boxes from the back room. Pretty soon, entire shipments would be gone the day after we got them, and it would always be right after Jeremy shifts.
