videos come to life. Make you question your own reality. This is not your own. At Radio Rental we carry one-of-a-kind videos. Radio Hey man, welcome to Radio Rental. I'm Vince. Again. As you can see on the nameplate on my vest. Radio Rental's a video rental store, but we specialize in horror. And in the back, we have a collection of secret tapes. All true horror stories told all by real people. Hard, hard stuff. Doesn't get any harder than that.

I'll assume that you want to watch one of these tapes. Good. That's good. Real good. Cause Vince wants to watch one of the tapes too. Not that I'm pumped about it. I'll grab one. How about this one? Malica, off the counter. You're making me awfully upset that you're not moving. Okay, thank you. Alright, first aid. Let her rip.

I was in sixth grade at the time, so I was probably around like eleven or twelve. My family was originally in a rent-to-buy situation which didn't go out the way they wanted it to, and we had to move really quick into another house. It was like a really big house we ended up getting. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and it had like this really large living room with an overlook. It was gorgeous.

I do remember meeting the landlord. They came to the house like once, I believe, when I was like a kid. And they didn't seem like bad people. They were just like older folks. My parents' bedroom was like the biggest bedroom in the house. Their master bedroom had a very big living room that attached to it, and then it would lead to a hallway where their closets were. And since we had that big living room, me and my siblings always used to have sleepovers over there.

I'm one of six girls, so like that's just how we kind of bonded. So we'd always have movie nights there and we'd like hang out. It was great. At the time my family was like super not into technology. I've been programming since I was nine. So like anytime they needed help with something, like it was me who had to help.

This was a time where like streaming was becoming really popular, like the Roku, Netflix, all that kind of stuff. So my parents had switched from cable to Roku's that connect directly to the TV. So it was a sister sleep overnight. Everybody had gone to bed. I was the only one up. I cannot fall asleep without the TP on. It has to be on at all time for me to fall asleep.

We had lost the original remote to TV. We had to physically get up and on the side of the TV there's HDMI input settings and you have to press it until it reached the HDMI input setting where the video is being broadcast. So that night I got up. I went to go change HGMI settings. When I hit the second HDMI setting, input comes on TV, which never happens because there's nothing plugged into the HDMI setting because we don't have cable.

Something pops up on the TV that I've never seen pop up before. That's where I see all these image panels of different CC TV footage. So confused of like what it is I'm even looking at. And I take a couple minutes to comprehend it and I'm staring at each. image. I remember it being very greeny and it was very low quality Each image is a different part of a house. One is a kitchen. One is the living room. There's a couple other ones throughout the house, like a basement.

I had no clue like what I was looking at. First thing I'm assuming is that it's a cable image. Maybe my parents got cable again, you know, or there's another input setting. The last panel was a little bit of a smaller living room, and it looks like there was someone in the panel. somebody was looking at a TV I noticed the pajamas specifically that they were wearing very distinct. That's when I noticed that it was me. I'm looking at imagery of my own house.

What I can only assume to be was camera footage. It's all of her things and all of her belongings. I was like so scared. My stomach dropped. I was small enough to kind of jump and hide behind the TV stand. And so that's what I did. So I didn't have to look at these images anymore. And I switched that last HDMI setting and put it back on to the Roku. And then I run back to bed and go to sleep.

I do this thing which I still do when I'm really scared. I just go underneath the covers and I fall asleep as quickly as possible because you can't be scared when you're sleeping. So the quicker I fall asleep, the less I will have to be scared or worry about it until the morning. The next day. I was trying to figure out like, you know, where these supposed hidden cameras could be. So I look around the house. I'm looking everywhere that I saw the footage originally showing.

It looked like the cameras were placed in the foyer where you walk in, the basement where you would be watching TV or watching a movie, The main living room where everybody would sit. The kitchen where it would point to everyone where they were eating, and then my parents master bedroom living room. I took my hand and I rubbed it against the wall to see if I could find anything, and I could not find anything. Nothing.

I'm looking through all my parents' phones to see if they could find any recording apps of like camera footage apps or on their browsers, if they have anything that's like a streaming for a camera. And I literally could not find anything. I looked all day that day. Nothing. I didn't tell my parents because I guess at the time I was just way, way too scared. What I did tell my parents, they were pretty mad that I didn't tell them at first about what had happened. Like I said, I

I cannot believe my parents can install anything. They can't even do Wi-Fi. It was a rented house, so there was no way that they were allowed to put anything up like that, especially install something in the house. We had very strict rules. When it comes to that, we would always have people who had to contract and come over, especially because it's like a rented place. We can't hire our own staff to do all that kind of stuff.

My theory is that for some reason the landlord really wanted to watch all of us, make sure the property isn't being broker somehow. But at the same time as like a kid Six little girls growing up in a house, I think that is a very creepy way to ensure that your property stays safe. We were all kids and these people who we do not know were pretty much watching us. I feel like after I had found the videos, I kind of like did like shift the way that I acted in that house.

as I'm in college and a computer science student now, it really like kind of disturbs me a lot more. I just think of being like watched in that house. I think of all the moments where I was like doing something personal or just even like eating dinner or being around my home, watching TV, and thinking about the fact that like somebody could have access to what I'm doing right now and watching me and watching what I'm doing right now. And that definitely scares me a lot.

Um, just uh totally completely unrelated. Don't look in the top right hand corner of the store. There's uh not a uh there's actually a a big spiders nest up there. Large spiders. You don't wanna look at it. It'll fre okay, let's take a break for ads. Hi, my name is Lloyd Lockridge, and I'm the host of a new podcast from Odyssey called Family Lore. In this podcast, I'm going to have people on to tell unusual and sometimes far-fetched stories about their families.

I've heard my whole life that she invented the margarita. And then we're going to investigate those stories and find out how much of it is true. He gets a patent one month before the Wright brothers. Oh my god. Please follow and listen to Family Lore, an Odyssey podcast, available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your shows. Okay, we're back. Hopefully no spiders jumped on your face. Let let me just take a little sip of my energy drink. It calms me. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha.

Oh, there's a There's a friggin' friggin' Lego in my energy drink. Malachi, are you trying to assassinate me? Best of luck, Vince is smarter than the average bear. Anyway, let's get that tape in.

So this happened. New City. No, a lot of people. And then we knew like a couple of his like distant family members there. 'Cause I And so she did. she was here for a couple We went out and we're going to have a little bit of I was gonna drive her to the airport. And the night before when we went to the I had parked like right outside my cul-de-sac. And I had never parked there before, but like there was no problems that I thought were gonna happen.

We were gonna drive her to the airport, we were gonna get some bread. We walk out to my car. We open the door. Took a second for my brain to process like what was going on. To like understand that something was wrong. I'm a pretty messy person, so I thought maybe my car was just like super messy. Everything was just piled into like the passenger seat floor. My glove compartment, my two sides of my door, my like everything. Everything was piled onto the floor.

I knew that it wasn't just me, like being messy. Someone had been in my car and moved things. And that gave me like an eerie feeling. Feeling me, feeling me, feeling. We were like, hmm, that's really weird. Like my car must have been And like there was no signs of like forced entry or anything. I thought okay weird, I must have just like left. Like so stupid of me, whatever. I'm very, very OCD about locking my car.

that never I mean I would never do that. But I thought, you know, everyone makes mistakes. Of looking around, like seeing my what might have been stolen, I start noticing really, really weird things. Like some cash in the car and that wasn't taken. I left my AirPods in the car and I was like, So then I'm thinking what kind of thief is coming into my car and like not Just sitting on the seat. Maybe they got scared off before they could take anything. They just rifled through my car, whatever.

So I get a big trash bag and I'm like throwing things away, just like trying to figure out, you know, if anything was taken.

I have a picture that I keep in my car all the time of me and my family. It helps with like homesickness. I just look at it when I'm driving. I was probably two years old in the picture. And it's like me, my parents, my grandparents, my aunt, like whole family. Always wanted to just keep little memories, anything I could have my family around me. So when I missed them I could look at a picture of them. It was like they were kinda there with me.

That was one of the only family pictures I had physically, which was why I kept it with me so much, because we just didn't print out a lot of them. Everything was in one pile, so it's not weird for like one thing to be out of place, but something in my brain was like, Where's that picture? I just can't find the picture. And then I find parts of the picture. Heads of my family members. just like sitting on the ground. Um, okay. There's just perfectly cut-out pictures of my family's heads.

This is so creepy. Creepy creepy creepy creepy perfectly cut out, not ripped. It was like someone had sat in my car and cut them with scissors. I'm a little dramatic and I start crying because I'm like, this is so scary. Like this is so weird. We never were able to find the rest of the picture. And as we were kind of like dealing with that. Someone walked up to my car and they asked me if I had a break-in. I said yeah.

He introduced himself as my neighbor. I didn't know a lot of my neighbors at the time. He said was a picture stolen from your car. Yeah, that was the only thing that was taken. And he said the same thing happened to me. And he was able to describe to me how it happened to him, basically, which is kind of how I pieced together why my windows weren't broken and what happened to me. Where his car was, he was able to get

like uh some like ring camera or video footage of like when it happened to him. But unfortunately, like where I was, there was no like camera facing my car. But when he did check his cameras when his car was broken and All it caught was a man walking by the car. He stood there for a couple seconds. All the lights in the car went And then the guy went. There was no like breaking of any window. And I'm pretty sure.

I'm sure there's like some tool that people use for criminals like break into cars, but it still really freaked me out. Still how This happened to the next one. And I've been really terrified to like park my car there ever since. Cause I don't know. It's outside of my circle and I felt like maybe This guy just It wouldn't have scared me so much if it didn't feel so like malicious. Why would you want pictures of my family?

We did find the scissors from the first aid kit in my car, which is how he cut. Faces? Some guy just came by, sat in my car for however long and took the time to do that and then left and it scarred me forever. I think about it a lot. I don't understand the motive. He obviously didn't want to steal anything because he didn't. He just wanted to Freak me out, I guess.

I have a feeling that this is definitely not the first or second time that he's done it. But I just wish I knew like what he wanted or like what he was really doing with it. Because it's not it's not something you hear every day, like criminal steals pictures from people's cars. Like he didn't he didn't want anything but that picture, so I wonder what what he does with them.

I imagine that he does have some kind of wall or like sick room or something that he has these pictures in. And I'm in there somewhere, which is just so unsettling to me. I can't figure out the why. I want to so bad and I can't figure it out. Would it it would would it be totally bonkers if that guy had like a whole wall of other people's families' photos? Maybe he cuts out some of their faces and he puts himself in those photos.

Maybe he just peruses the aisles at the Goodwill store picking up family photos and inserts himself in to be a part of their family. I don't know. Is that kind of sweet? I think it might be.
