23:55Now PlayingThis is The Lost Tapes: never-before-heard recordings pulled from the archives, resurfacing encounters that were never meant to stay buried. In this episode, Carol recounts a chilling 2011 encounter in rural Central California, where an emaciated, pale humanoid creature, known as the Rake, leapt onto her car before sprinting through a dark alley on all fours, locking eyes with her as it ran. What she describes matches reports tied to orchards, national parks, and interdimensional activity, raising unsettling questions about where these entities come from, and why they appear when no one is looking for them. This is raw, unfiltered testimony from the early years… and it’s only the beginning.
