Hey everyone! Happy Tuesday!
What’s the weirdest/creepiest text, email or audio message you’ve ever gotten?
A number of years ago I worked for a museum as an interpreter and tourguide for a 19th century military fort. I was dressed up in period costume and everything. The fort overlooked a large river where you can see the U.S on the other side. Because of the size of the place all the staff had walkie talkies. One sunny afternoon I was standing up top on the palisade, holding the device in my hand in anticipation for a response from a coworker, when I suddenly heard gut wrenching screaming, wailing and begging of a woman's voice. There was some static, but the words I manage to hear clearly was "Oh God somebody help me!" "Heeeeeeeelp!" Stop!" "Please stop!". It lasted for maybe ten seconds before it ended.
I tried to engage back but nothing Long story short, I immediately informed my bosses, tried to seek out information the best I could from the area via news or online etc (Boat sinking? An attack or murder? Prank? Accident?) but alas to no avail. Whether on my side of the border or in the neighboring U.S town. Still have no idea where it came from.
I know the fort did have a couple of ghost stories regarding soldiers, but nothing relating to some sort of terrifying event to a young woman. Even checked out historical sources. In any case, whatever really happened I hope she is OK!
It was certainly one of those "Um, okey then" moments
