Have you ever had the feeling like you're being watched? Like when you go to the bathroom at night and you feel like someones behind you so you start speed walking. Or if its dark outside and you look out the window and think “what if I look out there and I see a person staring at me?” Now this may just be me because I watch a lot of true crime but if you’ve ever seen the movie “The Strangers”, its about a family being stalked by a group of masked people that one day break into the home to torture the family. And in Strongsville, Ohio the Pleskovic family was going through the same thing. For an entire year the family had placed police reports and complaints of a group of people terrorizing and harassing the family.

One of my favorite things to search on youtube are ring doorbell footage videos. Like creepy footage of ring doorbell cameras or like creepy things caught on baby monitors. Now most of these videos always end up being harmless, just a bit scary. But in 2007 when a man named Edward in the Czech republic was setting up his baby monitor for his newborn son, he would find something horrific. When flipping through the signal channels trying to connect his baby monitor screen to the camera he accidentally connected to another baby monitor nearby. Only this footage showed a little boy sitting in the middle of a dark basement with his hands bound and kicking around a roll of tape.

We’ve become so comfortable discussing personal things going on and also stressing the importance of taking care of your mental health. And especially on social media there are many corners of the internet where you can find influencers that discuss those very topics. One of those people was a 30-year-old named Kat Torres. Kat started out speaking on mental health and self-care until later, her beliefs started to become a bit twisted. She claimed to have a gift she called “the voice,” which was an all-knowing voice that could predict the future that only she could hear. This attracted many people, including many women coming from broken situations, and many years into Kats practice, she would actually ask her top followers to come out to the States and live with her. But what these women didn't know is that they wouldn’t be walking into a self-improvement retreat but instead a human trafficking ring.
