Today's episode is a fan favorite.

The audio and the story has been remastered for today's episode.

On the afternoon of September 10, 2009, an art student walked inside of her off-campus apartment

in Dallas, Texas, and immediately began making herself a late lunch.

A roommate didn't come out of the bedroom to greet her, but to be honest, this wasn't

totally unusual. The two of them, despite being roommates, were not actually very close at all. After eating their

food, the students studied for a while, and then watched some TV, and then went to bed,

all the while still never hearing a sound coming out of a roommate's bedroom. But again, this was normal.

That is, until the next day, when the student

received a call from their school, telling her to go back to her apartment to check on her roommate,

because apparently the roommate's mother was very concerned about them. The student was annoyed,

but went back to the apartment, and when they walked into the roommate's bedroom, they would

see something that would haunt them for years, and it would instantly explain why their roommate had not come out of the room. But before we get into that story, if you're a fan of the Strange, Dark, and Mysterious delivered in story format, and you've come to the right podcast because that's all we do, and we upload twice a week, once on Monday and once on Thursday.

Okay, let's get into today's story.

The On the evening of Wednesday, September 9th, 2009, 20-year-old Shelley Nance walked into her bedroom inside of her off-campus apartment in Dallas, Texas, and then shut the door behind her.

Shelly liked the fact that once inside of her room, she would not need to speak to anybody. She preferred it that way. She settled down on her bed with her back propped against a stack of pillows, and then she took out her notebook and pencil and began to draw. Shelly spent most of her time drawing on a computer at the Art Institute of Dallas, where she was a second year multimedia and animation student.

But when she was by herself and just wanted to relax,

she preferred just using pencil and paper.

Tonight, Shelly began sketching a young woman who looked a lot like herself,

slender with long flowing hair, and just the hint of a smile on her face.
