You've gone.

Radio Rental.

Hello, welcome to Radio Rental, a video rental shop with an exclusive collection of the scariest stories you've ever heard.

And I'm your beloved host, Terry Carnation.

And today,

Today

is my last day.

I know, parting is such sweet sorrow.

I've been with you for over 80 episodes.

Can you believe it?

We've had some incredible times and some...

some rocky times.

I definitely recall an instance where my naked body was covered in Crisco.

Anyway, today I will be descending into the void to join my wife, Zelon, who I believe exists in an entirely different dimension.

Do I know which one?

No, not exactly.

But I brought rope and a Texas Instruments graphing calculator, copy of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and some of those goo packets that marathon runners use.

And I feel like I'll figure it out.

Shut it, Malachi.

Today I am happy to pass the torch to your new host.

No, no, no, no, no.

No,

don't come out yet.

They're hiding behind the curtain there.

We wanted to make it a whole reveal.

Anyway, I think you'll recognize their voice, and they have my full blessing.

I trust they will bring this store on to greatness.

And at the very least, maybe they can get it out of debt.

Finally, Malachi, my dearest one, will be staying.

at Radio Rental.

That's right.

We used the hiatus to make this very difficult decision, but Malachi's place is here.

He is the living, breathing heart and soul of this store, and honestly, through him, I can kind of keep an eye on the place.

Also, he doesn't really like to travel.

I know, I know, boy.

I know, you are my best friend.

As hard as it is for me to admit it, a grown-ass man with a cat is a best friend, and yet it's true.

Come here, you come here,

come here, you little cellulie.

Come here,

come here, Malachi.

All right, all right, that's enough.

That's enough.

I'm not crying.

It's just.

It's your dander, Malachi.

It got in my tear duct.

Malachi, look after this place.

It's our home.

We built this.

We built this together.

Well, I mean, at the very least, we took it over.

We replaced the carpet once or twice, and...

But we basically built it.

Protect it your life.

Make sure the stories always stay scary.

Now, I'm gonna need you to lower me down into the void.

Do it before I change my mind.

Hold the rope in your little teeth.

Goodbye, my adoring fans.

It's been an honor and a pleasure to serve you with scary stories.

Lower, Malachi, lower.

Ceylon, I'm coming, my love.

New host, reveal thyself.

Terry Carnation.

Oh, Malachi, Malachi, come here, little buddy.

It's gonna be okay.

Come here, little guy.

Come on, let's get you a treat.

Come on, here you go.

Oh, let me give you a little scritchy scratchy under the chin.

Come here.

Chicka,

Yeah, that's good, isn't it?

You feeling better.

And look, I'm sure this ain't the last time you're going to see old Terry, but in the meantime, sorry to say it, it's me and you, pal.

And

okay, there it is.

There's that Gemini energy I was looking for.

Glad to see you snapping back already, Malachi.

Well, hey, everybody, it's me.

It's me.

It's Ricky Lee.

And look, I know I'm no Terry Carnation, but I sure as heck am happy to be here at Radio Rental.

And if you don't know me, then let me say howdy.

I am Ricky Lee, as I aforementioned earlier.

I'm a Leo, a Leo Rising, and my moon is in Leo, so that makes me boom, boom, boom, triple Leo.

And I am a professional cosmological advisor.

In fact, Terry was one of my longtime clients.

And now, perhaps you, my friend, would like to get in on that.

And don't worry, I ain't going to try to upsell you

yet.

But even though Terry descended into that very concerning looking pit over there, which by the way is good to know where that's at because I can get a little bit clumsy, especially after midnight, wink, wink.

But I'm going to need to hit the Home Depot after this and seal that thing back up or something.

But as I was saying, even though Terry has decided to climb down into the

bowels of hell or what have you, I will be continuing his legacy right here.

Radio Rental will persevere.

Real scary stories, real often told by real

people.

And we have got a great show for you today, folks.

All right.

Thank you, little guy.

Come here.

Got to put the vest on.

Look at that.

That thing fits good.

That kind of shows my guns off.

All right, how about that first take?

Get ready.

Buckle up, buttercup.

Here we go.

I was 15 years old.

It was the summer of 1986.

I was working with my father, who was a manager at this warehouse.

I was trying to save up money to buy up a new car, and this was a perfect opportunity to make a little money and to hang out with my dad.

My dad and I worked at a location.

It was a massive warehouse that was an hour and 20 minutes away from home.

My dad drove this Ford pickup.

It was, you know, one of these old 80 Ford pickups.

This was a late night.

It was very muggy.

We're driving.

There wasn't a full moon, but it was a bright enough moon where you could see everything going down the freeway.

There was no clouds, just the moon and the hot summer evening in eastern Kentucky.

While we were driving, my dad turned on the radio.

We had country music going.

We're listening to the radio, just chit-chatting.

All of a sudden, there was this light that hit us from the back.

It was just an immediate bright light.

And I remember glancing back, but I couldn't make out any headlights.

Just a bright spotlight.

It lit up everything around us, including the inside of the cab.

What the hell?

What is this light?

What is going on?

So he started slowing down, hoping that this car or vehicle will go around us.

It just kept staying behind us, almost like it was tailgating us.

It's really frustrating my father.

I remember him cussing a lot.

He'd speed up, he'd slow down, and it just wouldn't go away.

This is 2.30 in the morning, no traffic.

Finally, the light goes to the side and then blink.

All of a sudden, it's dark.

There's no noise.

There's this eerie silence.

That had to be a car car that just wrecked or it had to be a truck that just wrecked because it's gone.

It's not there.

He slams on the brakes.

We go off to the median.

He gets out of the truck.

I get out of the truck.

We're looking down the freeway and there's still no vehicles.

We don't see anything.

My dad says, let's go back down the freeway.

I'll have you get in the tailgate of the truck, use this spotlight, stand up, see if we can find this vehicle that just wrecked.

When you're traveling through eastern Kentucky, there's places where state troopers will sit and get you for speeding.

It's kind of a median crossover.

So my dad crossed over and we go back westbound.

I'm panning around.

I'm looking for whatever it just wrecked.

I'm seeing nothing.

There's nothing in the median.

There's nothing on the side of the road.

I'm not even seeing any animals.

We're slowly going down the freeway, panning back and forth and looking.

There's nothing.

No vehicles.

No people.

No animals.

Nothing.

On our third pass, We see a vehicle coming up behind us.

It was a local state trooper.

He turns on his lights and pulls us over.

Trooper comes up and it was actually a friend of my father's.

And my dad tells him a story.

There was a bright light behind us, stayed behind us, and then it wouldn't go around.

And he said, when it finally went around, I am certain it was a vehicle and I'm certain it wrecked.

And so the state trooper believed my dad.

They were longtime friends and my dad is one who does not tell stories.

The trooper says, well, let's call some people in and help you look for whatever happened.

He called in volunteer fire department.

About a half hour later, we now have multiple vehicles looking for whatever had just happened.

Two troopers, the local sheriff has shown up, volunteer fire department everywhere, and we're all scanning up and down the freeway.

Further down from where the light had hit us was a creek.

There's a bridge that goes over the creek.

One of the volunteer fire department guys starts yelling.

We get out of the truck, and there's signs of a vehicle that had gone off the road.

You can make out the outline of a semi.

It went from blinding bright light to, oh my God, there's been a crash.

We've got all this personnel there, and they're all rushing around, and they're trying to get down to the river.

The trooper, he's like, you guys can't really do anything else.

We're lucky we found this wreck.

We suggest that you go home and call the night.

There's something that we didn't talk about.

We'll talk about it in a later time.

We go home.

I remember my dad telling my mom the story.

Semi that came up behind us and then it ran off the road.

And I'm to my dad, and I'm like, I just saw lights.

I didn't see a vehicle whatsoever.

It was just lights.

He's like, oh, no, no, it had to be, you know, it had to be the vehicle.

It had to be the semi.

We didn't hear anything.

He's like, no, no, no, that was the semi.

It ran off the road.

The next morning, the trooper calls my dad.

My dad picks up the phone and the trooper says that semi was called in missing over a week ago.

That driver was found dead in the cab and that semi had been in the water for over a week.

It's impossible that you saw those lights and that was a different wreck.

I am certain to this day.

That was a ghost rig that pulled up behind us.

And those lights were that truck driver trying to let us know that he was dead in the water over a week.

It was very surreal.

You know, now we think back,

if I had died and wasn't able to let anybody know for a week, I would try to find a way to let people know.

Hey, My body's over here.

I was very much not a believer in the paranormal, but after that experience, it kind of opened me up to the thinking there's more to life than just flesh and blood.

There's actually something going on paranormal-wise.

Good God almighty, a ghost truck.

Look, I already love trucks, but now, whoo, I mean, can you you imagine?

Hats off to that truck driver, too, and may his soul find serenity.

Hold on, folks, hold on.

I'm sorry, but I'm feeling something.

Here it comes.

Oh, my goodness, this one's barreling down on me like an 18-wheeler right here in my mind.

It's one of my divine interventions from the stars.

Here it is.

Libra, Libra, stop eavesdropping on everybody.

Do us all a favor and the next time you're at the Olive Garden, keep your eyes and your ears on your own breadstick.

Because no matter what Olive Garden says, we ain't family.

You don't need to know my business and I don't want to know yours.

And if you don't quit it, all this snooping around is going to lead to no good, aka a pop knot on somebody's head.

Now that needed to be said.

You know it did.

Needed to be said.

Y'all were thinking it, but old Ricky Lee said it.

All right, enough about that.

Let's take a quick break for ads.

You ever fake like you know someone just to get out of an awkward situation?

One time I was at a gas station and this guy was giving serious Stranger Danger energy.

I spotted a woman walking out of the store, made eye contact, and just blurted out, oh my gosh, hey, like we were long lost friends.

Bless her, she played along.

We chatted just long enough for him to leave.

I owe her my life, or at least a coffee.

Point is, the unexpected happens fast, and I want to be sharp, focused, and ready, which is why I'm never skipping my cachava shake.

It's a whole body meal packed with 85 plus superfoods, nutrients, and plant-based ingredients that keeps me feeling energized and clear-headed.

And the new strawberry flavor, it's a game changer.

Real freeze-dried strawberries, creamy texture, zero junk.

Just seriously delicious fuel.

I've also been loving the vanilla and coconut acai, but this strawberry one, sweet, refreshing, and somehow still a full meal.

I blend mine with a splash of oat milk and frozen berries.

It's fast, smooth, and keeps me going for hours.

So yeah, no cold plunges, no weird routines, just good nutrition that's ready when I am.

You've never tasted strawberry like this.

There's just something about fall that makes me want to live in layers.

Soft sweaters, sturdy jackets, and pieces that make you feel pulled together without trying too hard.

That's why I keep coming back to Quince.

Quince nails the staples.

100% Mongolian cashmere sweaters from just $60, classic fit denim, and real leather and wool outerwear that looks good now and still holds up seasons later.

I've been especially into their suede trucker jacket.

It looks like the perfect throw-it-on-and-go layer, but still feels stylish enough for a night out.

What I love is how Quince does it.

They partner directly with ethical factories and top artisans, cutting out the middlemen so you're getting the exact same premium quality for about half the price of similar brands.

I'm also looking to pick up a couple of their cashmere sweaters and might even try their bedding.

Right now, I'm still super in love with the Quince Henleys I got not too long ago.

And the quality is the kind that you can actually rely on.

Layer up this fall with pieces that feel as good as they look.

And we are back, and it's time for the next story

To this day man, I still can't explain what I experienced and what

what actually happened

I had taken a security job at a resort in a small town kind of near where I grew up in Illinois.

Scotchy kind of dive security job.

It was a resort that was probably like 20 to 30 acres, the whole thing.

The little guard shack that I was at was this little wooden six foot by eight foot building.

It was my job to stop people that were coming off of the main highway onto the country road where the entrance of the resort was.

I had to kind of just be like, hey man, what are you doing?

Do you have a pass?

Are you a guest?

You know, what's your reason for being here?

And all that stuff.

A lot of the time, just got to kick back, hang out, watch random ghost videos on my phone, just kind of chill and just do whatever.

I didn't have too many wild experiences.

I had to cover a night shift for a last-minute call-off.

I'm sitting in the guard shack, kind of just hanging out, looking at my phone, and I'm looking at the monitors here and there, and there haven't been very many cars that have come by.

I'm looking at a monitor that's facing the country road.

Has a whole like line of trees at the way back of it.

I'm starting to see what looks like the silhouette of like a deer like shifting side to side.

It doesn't get my attention until it gets bigger and it gets closer

and faster.

Whatever this is, it's moving fast.

I'm watching this silhouette, this dark thing.

And then it molds into the shape of a person in front of my eyes.

And it's running at me.

Okay, there's actually a human being running at me at 1.30 in the morning from literally nowhere off of a country road.

I have to actually seem like an intimidating person so I don't get murdered on the spot.

I step out of the guard shack.

And I light a cigarette and take a couple drags.

I'm watching this man run up to me.

His full form takes shape.

Probably like 5'2 ⁇ .

He doesn't have a shirt on.

He had like cargo shorts, stained, ripped-up shoes, and he's sweating and he's crying.

And he was white as a ghost.

Genuinely.

Like all of the blood had left his body.

He was white as a ghost.

So I call out to him as he's getting closer.

and I'm like, hey man, what's up?

What are you doing?

Who are you?

Why are you out here?

He says in a very genuinely afraid, shaky voice,

you have to help me.

They're making me throw up.

So I was like, okay, who's making you throw up?

What's going on?

Where did you come from?

That was the first thing I thought was, where did you come from?

Because

there's nothing around except for the resort and ranches farmland and ranches and a gas station and that was it

who are you do you have an id on you

he didn't tell me where he came from he kept saying you have to help me they're making me throw up he kept saying it over and over

I tried to calm the guy down and I started to ask the guy some basic questions like, what's your name?

Do you have your phone with you?

The guy told me his name was Rigo, and he told me he didn't have his phone, or his wallet, or his ID.

Do you have anything?

And he tells me, No,

they have all of my things in black garbage bags.

Them being whoever he ran away from.

And I'm like, What do you mean?

Like, your phone, your wallet.

He said, His clothes, his phone, his money, his wallet, his ID, everything they have in black garbage bags.

I'm now feeling the real seriousness of this situation.

So I'm texting my boss who lived just down the street from the resort,

letting him know, like, hey, we have a serious situation.

I need you and whoever else is available to come out here right now and help me out with this.

Out of the corner of my eye, I see a pair of headlights coming down the long country road ahead of me.

I'm not thinking anything of it because I'll get one or two cars a night and I'll just flag them down and be like, hey, where's your pass?

Whatever.

But Rigo turns around and he looks at the headlights and screams this terrifying, disgusting, primal fear scream.

He's sweating, he's crying, he's like, that's them.

You have to hide me.

They're coming to get me.

You need to hide me.

And he kept saying, you need to hide me over and over.

And he said, they are in three white windowless vans.

That's how you know that's them.

You have to hide me.

In my head, I'm like, well, dude, that could be anybody.

That could be somebody checking in at the resort.

That could be somebody just messing around.

Who knows?

Okay, man, sure.

I'm going to play along.

I'm going to do whatever I can to, like, make you comfortable.

Also, I have no idea what to do.

I feel like a deer in headlights myself in this moment.

I tell Rigo,

go in the guard shack and duck down behind the door.

And I'll stand out here and I'll wave down the cars.

And ask them what they're doing.

I won't even bring you up.

I won't even act like you're here.

I promise.

He shakes my hand with both of his hands.

He goes in the guard shack and ducks down behind the door.

This vehicle approaches and it's a line of three white Chevy Astrovans

that had no windows.

And they were going like 65 miles an hour in a 20 speed limit zone.

Blasted by me.

All three of them.

Just one one after the other, right by me.

Not even stopping or thinking of stopping for a second.

Nobody does that out there.

My soul left my body in that moment.

I take it seriously at that point.

This guy's not kidding.

He's in danger.

Like, Why are these people driving through here that fast?

Why are there three of the same vehicle?

I get a hold of my boss and i tell my boss like hey look i need you to come out here there's a serious situation we could have somebody in danger i think whoever i'm helping whoever's with me right now is like running away from a kidnapping or something like that so he comes out and a couple other guys who are on shift in other parts of the resort drive up to where i'm at they're all talking to rigo Rigo's still hiding inside the guard shack, but they're all standing outside the door and asking him the same questions I asked them.

We're trying to figure this guy out and like who he is and where he came from, and he's telling them all the same thing, like, please help me, please help me.

They're making me throw up.

They're forcing me to throw up.

And he keeps saying that.

He just keeps saying that.

That alone really, really bothered me.

So we call the cops.

The only cops around there were state troopers.

So state troopers show up and they're looking at this guy and writing him off and brushing him off like he's nothing.

Everything he's saying is bullshit.

It's pissing me off beyond comprehension.

I'm sure police have experienced plenty of strange situations that they have to write off, but there's real danger here in the situation that is palpable that me and my boss and all of my coworkers all can feel.

And watching the police just brush this dude off like nothing

really got to me.

My boss is like, hey, I don't want you to interfere.

I don't want you to go and talk to them or yell at them or like whatever or get intense with them.

This is what they have to do.

They have to be like this.

But my boss had a very, very concerned tone and look to him too.

My boss was

ex-military and he was retired from a

maximum security prison as a corrections officer for like 25 years.

He worked there and nothing shook this guy up.

And this guy was shaken up by Rigo.

The police are writing him off and they're not taking him seriously.

And they're looking at him like he's an idiot.

Once again, headlights start coming down the road.

Rigo starts to panic and he starts saying, please, that's them.

You have to hide me.

You have to hide me.

We're all standing around the Garchack.

Lo and behold, it is them again.

These three white vans pull up.

The first van, the driver's side window rolls down.

This guy slightly leans an elbow.

out the window.

Two out of the three state troopers walk up to him.

They're asking him questions and

the dude is sitting in the car, not moving, not looking at him, almost as if they weren't even there.

The guy looked like a mannequin.

He didn't even look human to begin with.

He looked like an old Navy mannequin.

Just cartoonishly smooth skin.

Perfect symmetrical shape of the shoulders and the head and the hair and the ears and the arms and everything.

Rego pops up from behind the guard shack door and the guy in the car cracks his head like it's on a plastic swivel in his direction

and looks through the cops

like they were missed, like they weren't standing there at all.

And he looks right at Rigo.

Again, not acknowledging the police at all, not acknowledging us.

And all he says is,

why'd you run?

There's something so sinister about how he said it.

Rigo's shaking and he's like coughing.

You can tell very uncomfortable and very afraid.

and he has tears in his eyes and he says

can i please have my things

the guy in the van pulls his body in there's a few seconds of just silence and nothing pulls his body out and drops a black garbage bag onto the ground and one of the cops picks it up and turns around and looks at Rigo and goes is this your bag sir

And there was just like a carelessness to him that was disgusting to me.

Every

animal-like primitive reaction in my body was going off.

And all these red flags and all these warning signs were going off.

It's like the cops were just part of it.

Like it was an act.

Like I was watching a play.

Like it wasn't even real.

Rigo

walks forward and he picks up the bag,

takes his wallet out, takes his phone out, and he takes out a gray shirt and puts it on.

The collar around the chest area of the shirt is soaked, completely soaked in probably what I'm thinking is vomit.

He's

very visually shaken up.

He goes back over to the guard shack and stands next to my boss.

The cops call Rigo over.

And as they're calling him over, all three of the vans take off.

The cops don't do a thing to stop them.

They don't ask them any questions.

Nobody goes after them.

Nobody yells, hey, stop, come back.

Nothing.

They were more focused on Rigo and talking to him and finding out more about him.

My boss is having a conversation with Rigo.

The police come over and start having a conversation with Rego.

And Rigo turns around and walks with the police to one of the squad cars.

And he gets in and they all leave.

My boss is looking distraught and upset.

I walk up to him and I'm like, hey man, what the hell is happening?

Like, where are they taking him?

They're taking him

to the road.

What road?

Where?

What are you talking about?

And my boss says,

I don't know, man.

I'm thinking the highway up there.

All they said was they're taking them to the road.

It was just such...

such a surreal

uncanny experience.

I've always felt so uncomfortable like

thinking about the fact that they just let them go.

Like, why did they let them go

What makes it so much more eerie is that

It's a small country town in Illinois with nothing around there's a gas station and nothing around for more than like 40 miles in all directions Nothing around

other than just like ranches and farms.

I mean, your imagination can take you anywhere it wants to in that moment because

it's quite literally like he

materialized out of thin air from another space.

Still to this day, I have no idea what I experienced.

I think

we helped him by making him feel comfortable and not afraid in those few minutes that we were with him, but

the cops dropped him off at the road, man.

I mean,

those psycho fuckers probably came right back around and picked him back up.

Now, y'all, that one really heats me up.

I'm telling you, I'd like to jump right in my Z28, follow those vans, and give those creeps a piece of my mind.

I mean, like, hey, I have a prediction for you guys, my foot in your face.

I just saw that right there in my mind.
