real places, so the next sound you

0:16

to a new psychological thriller, a

0:18

forest monster who lures teens into

0:20

the woods and never lets them return. line

0:23

of beauty products that takes the search for youth

0:25

to dark extremes, and an EDM

0:27

party that turns deadly when the DJ

0:29

takes over more than just the dance floor.

0:32

These might sound like ever legends, but

0:34

I hear fear proves that the scariest stories

0:36

of all are the ones that are true. I

0:39

hear fear will introduce immersive horror

0:41

and lead you straight into the heart of darkness,

0:44

prepared to be taken on a journey into the

0:46

unknown. I'm about to play

0:48

you a clip from the show, and whilst you're listening,

0:50

1:00

Ramama's in music and laundry. I'm

1:02

Carrie Monaca. and this is

1:04

I hear fear, an anthology

1:07

of six stories that might

1:08

seem too scary to be true.

1:10

but

1:11

they're all inspired by real events

1:14

and each of these stories could

1:16

happen to you.

1:23

I've been stumbling around downtown Boston

1:26

for over two hours. and it's been snowing

1:29

all day. The

1:31

snow is up to my ankles. I almost

1:33

have to hop to walk.

1:34

I'm also ridiculously

1:37

high who knew

1:39

this day could get

1:40

so bad. I

1:42

thought I'd hit my low point when I opened a pregnancy

1:45

test with my teeth in a bathroom stall

1:47

at some dive club. And

1:49

then another low when I x

1:51

steadily peed on my own hand.

1:53

But

1:55

things got worse because

1:57

that's when the showrooms came micked in.

1:59

I couldn't tell if I was looking at two

2:02

pink lines or five. Since

2:05

I left the club, the wind's been

2:06

slapping me sober. The

2:08

temperature keeps dropping. My face

2:10

is prickling.

2:12

Maybe I still haven't gotten to the day's

2:14

low point.

2:16

Maybe I'll be dying of

2:17

hypothermia. I

2:20

hear the engine before I see the car

2:23

as Chevy Caprice. yellow with dark

2:25

stripes. A gypsy

2:27

cap. Hey,

2:30

you need to ride it. You look cold.

2:36

Thanks. I thought I was gonna

2:38

die out here.

2:39

And I'm glad I found it. The

2:42

gold snowy to die.

2:43

He smiles at me.

2:46

He has curly black hair and clear amber

2:48

eyes. He'd be absent,

2:50

but his eyes are just a little too far

2:52

apart, like a watchful reptile.

2:56

Part of me wonders if

2:57

I should have just kept walking.

2:59

So where are you going?

3:02

Berkeley College of Music.

3:03

Oh, so you're a musician.

3:06

What do you play?

3:07

Classical guitar and Jaz

3:09

guitar too.

3:10

No kidding. I'm

3:12

a musician too. Oh, yeah?

3:15

I think music's how we

3:17

connect. One body to

3:19

another.

3:22

I've been working on a demo, something

3:25

new. Let me play it for you.

3:28

Back at school, I've perfected the art

3:30

of avoiding other

3:31

people's demos. But if the

3:33

choice is between bad music or

3:35

hypothermia, I'll choose

3:37

the music.

3:39

Sure. Yeah. Okay.

3:44

I used to be a classical musician, but

3:47

music has to speak to the times,

3:49

and the violin doesn't make people

3:51

move. the way it used

3:53

to.

3:57

Tell me this doesn't make

3:58

you wanna dance.

3:59

It's

4:01

interesting.

4:03

They remind me of

4:05

But I can't finish

4:07

the thought. It doesn't remind

4:09

me of anything. It's not

4:11

that it's bad

4:13

It's just wrong.

4:15

Music usually feels like a

4:17

punch to the heart, and it makes

4:19

me laugh or cry eye or wanna

4:21

fall in love. But this

4:23

music, I don't feel it

4:25

in

4:25

my heart. I feel

4:27

it in my body. my throat's

4:30

tingling, my toes

4:32

are squirming.

4:33

I

4:34

put my hand over my heart.

4:38

The rhythm's changing. It's

4:40

sinking up

4:41

to the song. Where

4:44

are we? the campus should

4:46

be coming up about now. Are

4:48

you listening? I want you to

4:50

film it.

4:50

You

4:54

know what? I can walk the rest

4:56

of the way. Slow me off here.

4:58

I

4:58

looked down

4:58

my foot. tapping.

5:01

Then my chin starts snapping

5:03

up and down. I said here. You're

5:05

dancing.

5:06

That's good. Keep

5:08

listener.

5:09

Outside the city is a wall of white,

5:11

but I see a flicker of red,

5:13

fast approaching. A red light.

5:17

When I feel the car

5:18

slow, I lunge for the door handle.

5:21

It's stuck. What's wrong, Anna?

5:23

Oh, little early

5:25

morning sickness? How does he know

5:27

my name? Open.

5:29

Open. Stop.

5:32

Please open. So

5:35

oh
