Federal Way High School near Seattle Washington we used to hop the fence right here and cut through
here it was freezing cold that day I mean there was ice in all of the mud puddles we just you know started
smashing them cuz it's fun you know it sounds like breaking glass that's when Drew says they noticed
a man in the bushes right where you see the edge of this Dugout right here that was all
bushes that were probably this tall so we couldn't see him until he stood up he's just staring at us from the
bushes that was pretty jarring but then he just walked out of the bushes so then
we just assumed he's just smoking weed or something the mysterious ious man kept to himself and walked ahead of the
boys Drew says they didn't think much of it until they came across a horrendous scene there in the bushes where the man
had just been was the body of a young woman it was horrible absolutely horrible the way that he left her body
she clearly fought for her life Drew says his shock turned to fear when he realized the man who was still
just feet in front of them was now staring directly back at him does that look still haunt you oh yeah yeah it's
