About this episode

The episode features a chilling true story from Gary D about a terrifying experience at a gas station in rural Virginia.

This week we dive into a chilling true story sent in & credited to: ‘Gary D up in Ontario, Canada’. Back in the late 1980s, Gary re-tells his own story from when he was a young salesman driving through rural Virginia in the dead of night when he stumbled upon a run down, eerie gas station that felt frozen in time. Inside: a fierce old woman, a filthy restroom… and something that really should not have been there. His reaction was instant and unforgettable: “HELL NO!” What followed was a frantic escape, a confrontation and a nightmare of a night he’s never forgotten. Was it exhaustion? A glitch? Something paranormal? Or something far stranger? Following the story, we unpack a bit of Gary’s experience, ask the questions he couldn’t, and invite you—our listeners—to weigh in on what might really have been happening in that creepy Virginia gas station Story credited to; ‘Gary D up in Ontario Canada’ Gary D Link: https://www.instagram.com/gary_d_up_in_ontario_canada?utm_source=qr How You Can Help Us Grow Subscribe/ or follow us on YouTube/Podcast — it helps more than you think Leave a rating or review on your podcast app Share this episode with someone who loves true tales and…
