0:00.0	Good evening and welcome to Nighty Night with Robbie
0:13.7	a Chaudhary. Bedtime stories to keep you awake. I'm DJ Lubel, the shows producer. We all know how
0:24.8	beautiful music can be, but tonight's tale shows us it can also be incredibly evil. Please enjoy the siren.
0:42.4	The dark presence looked up when it heard the sound of an approaching motor. The sound was
0:48.0	far, far off in the distance and the beams of the headlights never would have reached the woods
0:53.3	where it lurked. It had no fear of being seen, but it could see. Oh, it could see. The creature

2:09.2	people treated her differently. They already had an idea of her form, even before they knew her.
2:15.2	And maybe that's why Betty never really felt like herself, because she was constantly competing
2:19.9	with expectations the world had for her. And those expectations were mostly created by men.
2:26.3	Men who told her things like, this ain't any kind of job for a lady, like O'Reilly did when he
2:31.6	interviewed her. It was the kind of thing she'd heard so many times she'd lost count. And sure,
