Welcome to Wednesday One Shots, the bi-weekly show where we share a bonus story with you to help you get through the week nice and creeped out.

This week we have a story from an author named Young Live 420.

I forgot about this whole ordeal, but after I started becoming an avid listener of the podcast, I realized I had a story of my own to share.

I'm a 28-year-old woman from the Seattle area, and this happened when I was in seventh grade.

I had two teachers, both of whom were some of the best

teachers I ever had in general. One day, this guy who was dressed up in a full military

outfit with a giant knife dangling off of his vest came into our classroom. He claimed to

be a former student who was now a successful military man.

He said he wanted to talk to the students to inspire us or something like that.

My teachers were confused, as there was no scheduled speaker expected to come to our classes, but they reluctantly

allowed him to speak to all of us.

He went on about his military career and shared stories of his time and war.

He also went into details about how he had shot and killed children, which was very shocking for a

classroom full of children to hear. He also said that he was fluent in Japanese. One of my

classmates happened to speak Japanese as well, so she began to speak with him. He responded, but judging by the

confused expression on her face, it didn't seem like he replied in Japanese at all. After a while,

my teacher started to feel weird about the situation, so they sent a student to escort this man to the front office

to get a visitor's pass since he didn't have one.

This decision is what later got my teachers suspended for the rest of the year.

There was a police investigation following this situation, and it turned out this man was not an active

member of the military. He had never been military personnel at all. He was just some fraudulent

20-year-old guy. When his car was searched by the police, he had a whole bunch of costumes in there.
