This episode of 'Let's Not Meet: A True Horror Podcast' features multiple chilling personal accounts of encounters with danger, deception, and the supernatural. The first story, shared by a 20-year-old woman from West Virginia, recounts a terrifying late-night encounter with two elderly women at a gas station who claimed their daughter was in an accident and needed gas money. As the situation escalated—especially when the women’s story changed and they followed her—the narrator realized she was being targeted and narrowly escaped by pretending to call the police. Her trauma is compounded by a history of abuse and stalking from her maternal grandmother, adding a layer of psychological horror. Another story details a man’s harrowing experience in 2009 when he stopped to help a stranded woman on a lonely highway, only to be ambushed by her and a maniacal accomplice who shot at him. A college student’s tale of being trapped in her apartment after a damaged lock allowed a stalker to enter while she was out, culminating in a terrifying confrontation in her shower, underscores the vulnerability of even seemingly safe spaces. Additional stories include a haunted guesthouse with a hidden attic, a creepy phone call from a muffled woman, and a chilling encounter on the Natchez Trace involving suspicious diggers. The episode closes with a recurring ad for Shopify, emphasizing ease and growth, despite the dark themes.
Never roll down your window at a red light if you're approached by strangers, especially at night.
Trust your instincts—especially when someone’s story changes or they seem overly eager to get help.
Always verify your safety before helping someone in distress, particularly if you're alone.
A damaged lock or unlocked door can be a deadly vulnerability—check and double-check your home security.
If you hear strange noises or see unexplained changes in your home, investigate calmly but thoroughly.
…and 3 more takeaways available in PodZeus
The Gas Station Encounter
“I didn't even have enough battery on my phone to call 911 so I knew I wouldn't be able to explain the situation or where I was. Instead, I turned the brightness on my phone all the way up to make it appear that I was on the phone so that they would think I was calling the police.”
Stalked by My Grandmother
“I'm not sure if my parents knew about this, but this was new information that I wish I didn't know. So to my grandmother, I wish I never had.”
The Muffled Phone Call
A mysterious, muffled phone call from a woman claiming to be hurt and needing help triggers deep anxiety. The caller sounds like a friend but the voice is garbled, leading the narrator to fear a prank or a stalker.
The Highway Ambush
“I was literally shaking with adrenaline, but I reached over, opened the door, and pretty much shoved her out.”
The Apartment Break-In
“He was holding a kitchen knife, probably waiting for me to come back. I guess he didn't think that I would call the police.”
