Hey Prime members, you can binge eight new episodes of the Mr. Ballin podcast one month early and all episodes ad-free on Amazon Music. Download the Amazon Music app today. Today's podcast features three acts of pure evil. 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 Obsessed, and it's about a rising star who is confronted by a superfan. The second story you'll hear is called Facebook Post, and it's about the disturbing backstory to a horrifying post that has since been deleted. And the third and final story you'll hear is called Murder Mystery Murder, and it's about a little cottage's dark secret. 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 twice a week, once on Monday and once on Thursday.
So if that's of interest to you, please offer to house sit for the Amazon Music Follow button while they're away for the weekend. But instead of looking after their property, just spend the entire weekend downloading viruses to their computer. Okay, let's get into our first story called Obsessed.

In 2009, 15-year-old Christina Grimmie finally caved and made her own YouTube channel. For years, her friends and family had been begging her to do this because Christina had this incredible singing voice that they wanted the world to hear, but Christina had always been hesitant because she was a bit of an introvert. But that year, Christina was feeling more outgoing, and so she took the plunge, she makes this channel, and in July of that year, she uploads her first two songs. They were both cover songs, and she was really proud of them, but when she uploaded them, they didn't get very many views. And so Christina probably was not very excited about making more videos. But a month later, she found herself really enjoying the song Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus. And so she was singing it all the time and humming it all the time. And so finally she said, okay, I'll just film myself covering that song. So she records herself singing this song. She uploads it to her YouTube channel, her third video.
And she thinks no one's going to see it because her first two videos, no one really saw. But this video is different. It went viral almost immediately and millions and millions of people saw it and they loved it. Christina couldn't believe it. Even though her friends and family had been telling her all along, you have this great voice, you got to share it with the world, that's different than actually seeing the results of the world saying, you're really great, we love your voice. And so she saw this huge opportunity and she began uploading more and more music to her channel and more and more of her videos went viral. Over the next four years, she amassed over 2 million subscribers on her YouTube channel, she put out her own album, and she even went on tour with the mega celebrity pop star Selena Gomez. In 2014, Christina auditioned for the TV singing competition called The Voice. This show only allows a very small number of contestants who are all incredibly talented musicians.
