Foot Solutions, the first step towards pain-free feet. Creepy encounters. Three stories you won't forget. Story one, the man in the gas mask. It was just a regular late night driving up the highway, nothing unusual, or so I thought. I was cruising north from D.C. to Massachusetts, making my way to visit my sister and her newborn baby. The clock was around 9 p.m. I just crossed the Delaware Bridge and was on the New Jersey Turnpike, driving my rented Tucson at a chill 65 to 70 miles per hour. NPR was playing in the background, and I was sipping on an energy drink to keep myself awake. The night was calm, the road's clear, and everything seemed totally normal.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Then my phone rang. Since I've been pulled over before for driving while distracted, I decided to be safe and pulled over to the side of the road. I was about 13 miles north of the bridge. Right next to me, there was this massive warehouse, fenced in by a tall, chain-link fence topped with bar-beck wire. The place had its own overpass that connected the highway to its parking lot, a spot that looked pretty deserted and kind of eerie in the dark. I parked, answered the phone, and it was my mom checking on me. She had flown in from Florida to help my sister with the baby and to escape a hurricane that was brewing down south. We talked for maybe two minutes, and I told her I'd see her
Starting point is 00:02:23 soon. Just as I was about to get back on the road, something caught my eye. On the other side of of that chain link fence, standing perfectly still, was a man. And I don't mean your average dude. He was wearing what looked like an old school World War II gas mask. Yeah, I know, right? What kind of person wears a gas mask in a parking lot in 2025, just staring blankly at passing cars? I was convinced I was hallucinating or maybe the lack of sleep was messing with me. But nope. There he was. At first, I thought it was some kind of prank, some twisted joke. The guy barely moved after I locked eyes with him. I cracked a nervous smile and gave him a little wave. Nothing. No acknowledgement, no movement. Just that freaky, dead stare behind those dark lenses.
Starting point is 00:03:19 I chuckled to myself, trying to shake off the weird vibe. I even reached down to grab my phone from the passenger seat, thinking maybe I could catch some video proof of this bizarre sighting. But just as I lifted the phone and aimed it toward the fence, my heart stopped. The man was no longer standing still. He was stomping straight across the grass toward me, apparently, he'd walked right through the fence. No gate, no open door, just through the fence like it was nothing. I screamed, panic flooding my chest, when he raised something high above his head. I couldn't tell exactly what it was, maybe a pipe, maybe a crowbar, but I wasn't about to stick around and find out. I slammed my foot on the gas and floored it, blasting down the turnpike
Starting point is 00:04:06 at nearly 90 miles an hour. I didn't look back. I just kept driving full throttle for what felt like forever, then finally slowed down to about 60 miles per hour, trying to calm my shaking hands and catch my breath. There was no gait in that fence section, I'd stared at it for. I'd stared at it for for a solid minute. If there'd been a gate, I would have waited for him to walk through it first. But no, that guy had just phased right through. If it was a ghost or some kind of freaky apparition, it sure didn't look transparent. It was as real as I was. I pulled off at the next rest stop, sat in my car, and tried to make sense of everything. Was this some elaborate prank? some crazy illusion. If so, it was an impressive one. But what really freaked me out was the timing.
Starting point is 00:04:58 I only took my eyes off him for maybe three seconds, to grab my phone, and the moment I looked back up, he was already moving toward me. How did he know? Could he see through that mask in the dark? And what did he want? Did he mean to hurt me? I sat there in silence until my heartbeat slowed. I shook it off and finally continued my trip, but I never did get any video of the guy. I never called the cops. I didn't research that building or its history. The whole thing felt too creepy to explain, so I kept it to myself. Tomorrow night I'm driving back to D.C., but this time I'm taking a completely different route.
Starting point is 00:05:39 If you're curious about that warehouse, feel free to check it out yourself. But if you end up in trouble with the cops for trespassing or getting it, get attacked by a guy in a gas mask. Don't say I didn't warn you. Story 2. The Phantom screams. All right, this next one is going to get under your skin, so brace yourself. I'm not going to share my name or where I live because, honestly, there's so much rugby on Sports Extra from Sky. They've asked me to read the whole lad at the same speed I usually use for the legal bit at the end. Here goes.

Starting point is 00:06:59 pain-free feet. I'm terrified and I just want answers. I live in a gated apartment complex where the buildings form a square around a courtyard. Inside the courtyard is a grassy lawn, a playground for kids and a few picnic tables. About two years ago, I was sleeping peacefully one night when it all began. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a scream tore through the silence. But this wasn't just any scream, it was the kind that makes your blood run cold. It sounded like someone was being tortured, maybe even burned alive. The kind of scream that pierces your soul. My ears started ringing, and my adrenaline went through the roof. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was almost non-stop, barely any breaks for breathing. I could hear neighbors stepping out onto their balconies,
Starting point is 00:07:52 trying to figure out what the hell was going on. I got up and peeked through my window. The courtyard was pitch black. No lights on, except for a flashlight someone was shining from a window above, desperately searching for the source of the scream. The apartment buildings were all three stories tall, and I lived on the ground floor, right across from the mailboxes and the main entrance. So if the cops came, I'd be the first to see them. I backed away from the window and hurried to the door, pressing my ear to it. The scream was horrific. It sounded like the walls of the courtyard were amplifying it, like an echo bouncing off stone
Starting point is 00:08:31 tunnels or a deep pit. I could swear the sound was so intense, it felt like it was tearing through my very bones. It was like some poor soul was having every limb ripped off. I waited near my door for what felt like an eternity, five minutes, maybe more. No sirens. No signs of help. Just that terrible scream ringing out in the night. I could hear kids crying, neighbors shouting.
Starting point is 00:08:59 One guy was swearing like crazy. Two or three people were yelling down in the courtyard. There was no way I was leaving the safety of my apartment. Suddenly, the screaming shifted. It started moving toward me. Whoever, or whatever, was screaming was coming out of the courtyard, getting closer. My heart sank. The screaming got louder, echoing from the hallway right outside my door.
Starting point is 00:09:26 I covered my ears and slid down the door, closing my eyes tight and begging the noise to stop. It was so loud, it felt like the sound was shaking my teeth loose. Then came the pounding. Someone was banging frantically on my door. I screamed, too terrified to stand up, and peeked through the people, scared of what I might see. But before I could look properly, the screaming stopped. Just like that.
Starting point is 00:09:54 I collapsed on the floor, sobbing. My head was ringing. Minutes later, a crowd gathered outside, yelling and demanding answers. The police showed up about five minutes after the police. that. They calmed the mob down and came knocking at my door. Apparently, most people thought I or someone I knew was responsible for the screams because they always ended right outside my apartment. I let the cops search my place. They found nothing. Then they took my statement. Security cameras in the courtyard were reviewed. Nothing showed anyone entering or leaving. Since then, the phantom
Starting point is 00:10:33 screams have happened five more times. No clear pattern. No warning. Just starting suddenly in the dead of night, lasting several minutes, and always ending right outside my door. Neighbors hate me. They think I'm the cause. They say I've traumatized their kids. They've tried to get me evicted twice. But there's no proof. Nothing. I've never tried to record the screams, though plenty of tenants have tried. Once, a guy stormed into the courtyard during the screams and fired three shots into the air. Didn't stop the noise. Ireland's largest award-winning light show experience is back.
