Let's Not Meet: A True Horror Podcast - Wednesday One-Shot: Lady in the Mosque

Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to Wednesday 1 Chots, the series where we share a bonus story with you to help you get through the week. This time we have a story from a listener named Millie. I'm a big fan of the podcast, and I'd like to share my scary and weird story with you. It was around the fall of 2018. I was catching up with my friend for hours about life and kids. We found ourselves talking about her coming up to Canada so that I could finally meet both her niece and nephew.

Starting point is 00:00:42 Seemingly, not long after our conversation, she arrived in Canada, a truly remarkable friend, right? I love her dearly. The moment she and her family arrived, we all went out to eat. My family and I showed them around, basically acting as their personal tour guides. We're both Muslim, and it was time for prayer,

Starting point is 00:01:04 so we piled into separate vehicles. They were lagging behind us, so I called her and told her to go to Mosque. She must have misheard me and went to Mosque B. I texted her, telling her an address to go to after prayer. The women's section at Mosque A was empty. My daughter was weary of new people. Every time someone knew walked in, she would break down. So I was kind of glad that it was empty.

Starting point is 00:01:32 The next thing I knew, an older woman in her 60s, came in and began to pray next to me. When we were both done, I said hello to her to be kind, and she stared at my daughter. Despite my confused thoughts, I got up and carried her away. All of a sudden, the lady exploded and started asking me these religious questions. She asked me questions that I had no idea how to answer. To get her to stop looking at me sideways for not having answers, I said, I can ask my husband

Starting point is 00:02:04 for you. Luckily, he had been calling me non-stop, so I answered. Then she tried to grab my daughter from me. I turned sideways so that she couldn't touch her. I shouted, excuse me, what are you doing?" The lady said to me, shut up, talk to your husband. Honestly, I was dumbfounded, wondering what was going on. I yelled back, back up. I can still smell onions and garlic on her breath to this day. That's how close she was to me.

Starting point is 00:02:37 She backed my daughter and me into a corner. I held my little girl tightly for dear life. As she looked at me, she whispered, look, you're making her cry. Let me take her for the day." Thinking back, she probably had some kind of mental health issue. Sadly, the older people in our community don't believe that mental health issues are a thing. I asked my husband where he was. Thankfully, he said that he was in the car.

Starting point is 00:03:04 It was good thinking on my part to put our shoes in a plastic bag. After pulling her head scarf down so that it covered her eyes, I pushed her aside and ran away. While running down the stairs, she ran after me. Once I reached the door, I turned around to see her staring at me, with the man in her company. I ran out the door because the lady and the man weren't too far from us. Thank goodness my husband and son were in the car right outside of the door. I don't go to the mosque anymore.

Starting point is 00:03:38 Did I report it to the authorities? Well, I wish I did. Lady at the mosque, I hope and pray we never meet you again. Thank you Millie for sharing your story.
