What stories are featured in this episode?
Today's podcast will feature three stories that will make you wonder how many monsters you may have encountered in your life. The audio from all three of these stories has been pulled from our main YouTube channel and has been remastered for today's episode. The links to the original YouTube videos are in the description. The first story you'll hear is called The Home Gym and it's about a family who's having a totally normal Friday, but little do they know their worlds are about to come tumbling down. The second story you'll hear is called 120 Times. And what makes the story so horrifying is that it could happen to you. And the third and final story you'll hear is called To Save His Soul. And it's about a Bible study in a motel that quickly turns into one of the most disturbing cases ever.
But before we get into today's stories, if you're a fan of the Strange, Dark, and Mysterious delivered in story format, then you've come to the right podcast because that's all we do, and we upload four times a week, Monday, Wednesday, Thursdays, and Fridays. So if that's of interest to you, please offer the follow button a nice high-end teeth whitening kit. But don't tell them you've secretly replaced the whitener with red hair dye. Okay, let's get into our first story called The Home Gym.
On the evening of Thursday, May 21st, 2015, a 16-year-old girl named Lily walked into the home gym inside of her house in Hong Kong looking to do a workout. Now, she sort of expected the gym would be empty and she could kind of have the run of the place, but as soon as she walked in, she saw her dad was in there and he was doing some sort of cool-down exercise on a yoga ball. So Lily's dad, whose name was Ka Kim's son, was a doctor and a professional. And normally at this time of the day, she would never see him in the gym.
What is the story behind 'The Home Gym'?
He was typically locked upstairs in his study or, you know, upstairs doing work or something, or he was just gone for the day. So for him to be here, it just didn't really line up with his schedule. And so Lily asked her dad, like, what are you doing here? What's going on? And her dad would tell her, well, actually, you know, work at the hospital was really slow today. So I took off. I played some tennis with friends. And now I'm just doing some cool down exercises because I got nothing else to do. But I'll be out of your hair in a second. And sure enough, a couple of minutes later, her dad was up and out of the gym and Lily just began a workout. The next day, May 22nd, around one o'clock, Lily was at home at her dining room table, sitting across from her mother, whose name was Wang Siu-Fing, and Lily was eating a snack and staring at an open textbook.
Now, normally at one o'clock on a Friday, Lily would be at school, but she had had the day off that day. And she had wanted to spend her day off seeing friends and just being a teenager. But her dad was really focused on her being successful academically. And he told her that absolutely not. You're not going anywhere. You are going to stay home and you are going to study all day long. You will not leave the house. That's what you're doing. So Lily just continued to stare at the textbook and basically do what her father said. And then a couple of minutes later, she actually heard her dad coming down the stairs and he came into the dining room and he was clearly very pleased to see his daughter doing her work, or at least appearing to do her work.
And he came over to her, gave her a kiss, he kissed their mother, and then he said he was off to work. And then he went out the door and he was gone. And as soon as Carl was gone, Lily's mom looked over at her and said, I'm not going to make you study all day. Come on, let's go out and have a mother-daughter shopping day. And Lily was stoked. She shut her textbook, she went and got ready, and then a minute later, she and her mom climbed into her mom's yellow Mini Cooper car and they headed out.
About two hours later, around 4.15 p.m., a local jogger was running in the same neighborhood as where Lily and her family lived, and as they were running down the road, they noticed there was this yellow Mini Cooper car sitting on the side of the road, not moving, but it was still on.
