What chilling story sets the mood for the episode?
No. This is Creepy. A podcast dedicated to sharing the most famous, chilling, and disturbing creepypastas and urban legends in the world. Whether these stories truly happened or are simply fabrications is for you to decide. These stories may contain graphic depictions of violence and explicit language. Listener discretion is advised. What's up, everyone? We have something a little different today, but not a total departure from our usual format. This is something we put together to help you all get in the mood for the new horror movie coming out called Passenger. 130 million people take road trips every year. 15,400 of them are never seen again. Have you heard the story of the passenger that's been circulating online lately?
A young couple set out on a van life trip, but a few nights in, they came across a brutal car accident on the side of the road. I'm not talking about a typical crash. Something about this was off. And there's one detail that keeps coming up. The car they found had three deep scratches carved into the side. Not dents. Scratches. They stopped, they saw it, and then they left. But here's where things got strange. Not long after, creepy things started happening. You know, I love creepy things. They began to feel that they weren't alone in the van. Like something followed them from that road. People online have started connecting it to something they're calling the passenger. Supposedly, it attaches itself to anyone who encounters it and marks their car with three scratches.
Once that happens, it doesn't let go. If these reports are true, this couple didn't just witness something on that highway. They carried it with them. From Andrea Overdahl, director of one of my all-time favorite horror movies, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, comes Passenger, only in theaters May 22nd. Get tickets now. And as I mentioned earlier, to get you in the mood, we have some driving-related stories to get you in the right, or wrong, headspace. First up, from writer Eric Fomley and narrated by Owen McCune, Creepy Presents, Traffic Stop.
I don't know where else to put this, so I'm writing it here. Chief says I have to process through what I saw before he'll bring me back to work. My therapist says that sometimes writing things down can help the brain process through certain experiences, like putting it on paper will make it any more distant from my mind or any less terrifying. There's nothing I seem to be able to do to get it out of my head. I can't sleep at night. Sometimes during the day I see or hear it. And it's the hearing it that's worse. I'm going to give this my best go, though I still think I'll sound a little crazy. Just bear with me and maybe this will help me let go of some of what happened that day. The stress from work is what Chief calls it.
But I'd take stress over this any fucking day. The yellow Chevy Cobalt blew a stop sign. That's how it started. I was sitting across the street at the gas station catching up on reports. I happened to look up and see it. I flicked on my lights and pulled out behind it. The Chevy seemed to speed up at first. I thought I might have a runner, but soon it started slowing down before pulling off the road in front of an old factory. I ran the plates and nothing came back funny. Everything was up to date. But when I got out of the car and went to the window, I saw a middle-aged looking man staring straight ahead and what looked like a shit ton of sweat pouring down his face. Good afternoon, sir. Can I see your license and registration?
He jumped like he didn't know I'd been there. Uh, yeah, uh. He reached for the glove compartment. His hands were shaking, more than what I thought might be nervousness. You all right there, buddy? I asked. Inside I was groaning because I really didn't want this to turn into a drug stop or some other bullshit. It was 1.32 in the afternoon and shift end time was 2. I was hoping to be home on the couch catching SportsCenter with a beer, not dealing with a strung out man who was too big for the car he was driving. He fumbled with the papers in the glove compartment and handed me a crumpled registration.
