stranger stories never miss another strange story subscribe and hit the Bell sit back and get comfortable I have a few stories to share with you welcome and good night have you ever been in a place that can only be described as the middle of nowhere not a soul Insight or so you believe tonight's video is hosting Dr plague don't forget to check out his Channel at the end of this video and with that said let's get to the [Music] stories over the past years I've shared this story at many parties dinners and so on recently my friend told me that I should share it with the rest of the world so this is my attempt in doing so September 2010 my boyfriend Dave his best friend Tony my best friend Liz and I were all coming back to our hometown for our final year of college after spending the summer in London we all had a fantastic time staying in my uncle's apartment partying and exploring such a big city it was great as we were all together we decided to stop at a BNB for the night the plan was to get home the next day at about 6:00 p.m. we all woke up early at about 4: or 5: a.m. ready to set off again when we realized someone had broken our mirror the night before seemingly by crashing into our car with his own car or at least that's what we thought happened seeing as this was my dad's birthday present to me and I had barely 2 months on it I was absolutely fuming we asked the land lady where we could possibly find sparce or anything for the time being she said she had driven past a makeshift scrapyard or something a while back she wasn't sure if it's still there but she Drew us a rough map and off we went I wasn't very sure if she was right about her directions because the closer we got to the area she' circled in the more desolate the surroundings were the roads had now turned from Stone to dirt around us there weren't any farms anymore just long witty grass and patches of forest it had basically become a more I was becoming paranoid thinking they're wild animals or just trying to find reasons to leave this place was completely deserted I was just about to head off when my boyfriend pointed out in front of us a handwritten sign reading Cafe and car spares 2 miles ahead we decided to continue we drove down a little Cove surrounding by Forest and all got out except for my friend Liz who was sleeping in the back seat there was a tiny cream Hut with a cafe spray painted on the roof there was also a caravan and a hill or a mountain if you call it of scrap metal as expected and to not of our surprise we were the only visitors parked up front the lights were all turned on but there were no people around I assumed they were still sleeping after all it was 6:00 a.m. we all walked to the pile of scrap and decided to start fumbling through looking for a wing mirror or any sort of mirror that could do for the time being until I could come back and get a prepared Tony picked up what could only be described as a decade old mirror and suggested we just take it and go but me being stupid insisted on giving the money for it I can't just take it and go I said I knocked on the door and waited mirror in hand a big hardfaced man answered the door and at first looked very pissed off at me and tired then seemingly out of nowhere his face changed to a smile the man leared at me for a few seconds then seeing the boys approach usess what we wanted Tony asked how much for the mirror the guy said nothing just get to know us I thought fair enough why not I myself can't believe that's what I thought two more men came out of the patio door from the other side they turned to me and smiled as well both skin heads their teeth looked like they've been doing math for quite some time they came over and I could smell them from a mile away the guy then asked me to give them the mirror as they were going to install it on my car the man then introduced himself as Ian he set us down on the patio chairs and offered us some sandwiches I polite declined but he insisted that we must be hungry and told me to come in he said that women are best at making sandwiches I declined again finding him a little bit sexist at this point and when he asked again Dave more sternly reinforced that I said that I do not want to come in Ian muttered something and then came and sat on the chair with us I became awkward very quickly as he started asking questions it started off innocently like asking how old we were where we were from and so on and then it became a bit more uncomfortable he asked me if I had a boyfriend and then proceeded to ask what me and my boyfriend like to do to each other how often we have intercourse and private stuff like that to which we both didn't answer we sat in complete silence until we heard Liz scream when we turned around I saw one of the men that was supposed to be fixing my mirror had his hand grappling at lizz's leg the other men was looking nervously all around behind the car we got up immediately and sprinted off the patio Tony running after the guys but they both headed into the forest like maniacs this really reminded me of the movie Wrong Turn which hasn't ended well for any of the people in it Liz was completely hysterical she had woken up to find her alone in the car with a man running his hands upper leg I can't even imagine how terrifying that must have felt I went inside the back seat trying to consult her when Dave came around and asked us to look at the ground noticing all the nails lay down on the floor we looked over and there were about 12 Nails arranged neatly on the floor right in front of our tire as if these men were ready to pop our tires and keep us there for who knows how long or what for we all just about had enough we were terrified and just wanted to get out of there mirror or no mirror we were leaving right now as we're driving away I look back and I notice Ian reemerged from the house with something in his hand I couldn't really make what it was until my eyes had adjusted properly it was a [ __ ] rifle he was aiming a real hunting rifle at us I bursted in tears and hit the gas pedal driving faster than I've ever driven before hysterically thankfully we were able to get back home safe I still think about the story today or what could have happened if if I decided to go in and make this man a sandwich for some reason anyways I think I finally understand where they got all these car parts for their glorious scrap metal [Music] pile when I was 19 I worked for a company that allocated labor to rural areas of Australia basically what you did was tell them when you were available and they sent you to a remote farm for a few weeks where you do whatever they needed done it was hard work and long hours but good pay and good fun if you got in with a nice group of workers when this occurred I was working on a large property by the way I was told it covered roughly the same land mass as the state of Maryland USA about 9 hours from Sydney City and the property itself was about 40 minutes from the nearest town in short it was the middle of nowhere I was working at the farm clearing brushin with three other guys my age from the city our boss was a guy called Jeremy who owned the farm and supervised us while helping out with the work he was pretty laidback and was generally really good to us this summer in particular was very hot and the work was hard so one day when the temperature hit about 38° C Jeremy decided to give us the afternoon off he said he knew of a water hole on the farm about a 25-minute Drive North I was Keen for a swim but the other guys just wanted to relax so him and I hopped in one of the work trucks and started heading across the property it was mostly wide empty expanses with a few clumps of scattered brushin Jeremy wasn't much of a talker so we drove more or less in silence after about 20 minutes however he suddenly perked up and jaed me in the ribs do you see that over there beneath the two dead trees I should mention here that but if you're not familiar with Inland areas particularly those in Australia they are brown or red and mostly flat and bland meaning any bright color stick out like a sore thumb so you can imagine our surprise when we could see a large Blue angular structure far off in the distance we steered in its direction and as we got closer we realized it was a huge blue shipping container ER just sitting in the middle of nowhere Jeremy was perplexed I asked him if he knew what it was but he obviously didn't he said he hadn't seen it when he drove through the same area about 5 weeks before and he wanted to go and see what it was initially we pulled to a stop about 100 m away from it at this stage I had a really bad feeling the whole thing wasn't right it's hard to explain but if you can imagine seeing such a foreign object in the middle of a huge Barren expanse it had to be something weird jmy however wanted to investigate which I understood given it was his property but in truth I was really anxious as we got closer things got even more bizarre are there was a big diesel generator behind it thumping away and a CCTV camera on each side all motion activated so they buzzed from side to side following us as we moved around I tried to reason with Jeremy something along the lines of with all the security someone obviously doesn't want us here let's just go he brushed me off however reminding me it was his farm and whoever had put this here was trespassing so he wanted to go inside despite all the surveillance there was only a small pad lock on the huge door we had some bolt cutters in his toolbox and after a bit of struggle we broke the lock and went inside the first thing I noticed with the rush of cold air as we got in the place was air conditioned which I must admit was quite Pleasant on such a hot day we searched around for a light switch but I could already see this was some sort of it setup there were flashing LEDs all over the place and the sort of hum you hear when a hard drive is working hard when we finally switched on the lights we could see a sophisticated by the way all by somewhat cluttered office setup there were hard drives the size of bar fridges and other computer equipment lining the walls sometimes ped two or three high and plastic storage boxes scattered around the far wall and several desks with computer monitors arranged in the middle complete with rolling office chairs at this stage I felt like I was in one of those nonsensical dreams this made absolutely no sense we wandered to the middle and sat down at the desk to see if the computers could give us any idea of what the hell was going on here my heart was racing and I just wanted to Bol we had been seen by the CCTV so if anyone was monitoring they already knew we were here Jeremy on the other was adamant we had to get to the bottom of this so I put on a brave face and start looking through the computer this went on for a while but in short neither of us had a very high grasp of Technology outside of Facebook and Microsoft Word the best I can describe it from my late position is that it was endless lists of computer talk it was like the old Napster or LimeWire download screens look like just constantly picking up and receiving data then recording it on several windows I gave up on the computers and wed cautiously over to the far end of the container to the big pile of storage boxes by then I was pretty sure no one else was there as there was nowhere to hide really but I was still incredibly on edge I decided against my better judgment to see what was inside all these boxes my brief sift through this box still makes me feel sick to the stomach it didn't take long for me to realize that this box was full of posters DVDs and photos all of Hardcore child pornography one thing that still gets to me is that it was all neatly ordered into folders and smaller box foxes these people were organized I immediately recoiled jumped up and ran over to Jeremy I could hardly string a sentence together it says something to the effect of mate get out child sex go get the [ __ ] up I dragged him out composed myself and managed to explain what I saw we jumped back into the truck and sped back to the house the farm had no mobile phone reception and we hadn't bought the satellite phone so we had to get back to the landline to call the cops once we called them they still had to make it all the way to the farm from the nearest police station which was in a town about a half hour from the town closest to the farm as I mentioned before very remote we waited talking frantically about what we'd seen until the cops arrived almost an hour later they arrived with two four-wheel drives and we jumped in and led them back this is where it gets worse by the time we got back the container door was open and there was fire inside we had only two small extinguishers in the cars and these did very little the fire department took an hour to get there by which stage most of the damage was was already done in an arson report by the federal police found almost no evidence of the computer equipment described and only traces a paper and cardboard this means that whoever ran it knew we were there and had time to come and remove most all of it and get away there were various ways to get off the property and the land mass was huge so there was no real way to tail them since the police hadn't taken us to seriously in the first instance probably due to our poor explanation on the phone aerial surveillance was almost impossible by the time we had pieced it all together I took a keen interest in following it up but with no real evidence of who might be responsible the investigation went cold I've kept in contact with Jeremy and the shipping container is still sitting there on the farm as it's too expensive to move I'll never forget what I saw in those [Music] boxes so to start this off let me say that I'm naturally jumpy and really wary of my surroundings I'm not a quiet or shy person trying to avoid people I do however feel like I have a great sense of when something's wrong or strange and will try to avoid it at all costs I'm from a country in Europe where murder and crime is really really rare so you can imagine that people aren't afraid to walk around alone however I rarely go out by myself at night because I'm from a small town and the surrounding Woods creep me out with my friends however I do enjoy the night strolls so last week me and my best friend went on our usual walk we know the roads really well as we walk the same path every time this place as some would say is in the middle of nowhere however that never stopped us before we never think about scary or negative things that could happen while on our strolls the first 3/4 of our path is well lit by Street lamps and there are hous all around not a lot of them but there are enough then we arrived at the tunnel from which point there are no lights and the asphalt road turns into a rocky Pebble one instead as we approached the tunnel we noticed a white van seemingly empty parked on the side of the ditch that's right next to the tunnel this really sent a bad vibe to both me and my friend however we decided instead to joke about it and say how there might be people there who may try to follow us and then who knows as we continue on our way we pass by the van and I mentioned to my friend that I thought I saw a silhouette of a person inside my friend just brushed it off and decided to get mad at me instead claiming that I'm trying to scare her we cross the tunnel and continue with the path uphill it is not long or a hard walk to get to the top of the hill from which point you have to go down again from that point on you are surrounded by Woods on one side and a massive empty and open field on the other it was quite dark out but we didn't mind we were having fun chatting away it all came to a stop once we saw headlights getting closer and closer from behind us it wasn't too weird for cars to be driving on this path there were a lot of farms around and Farmers driving all over we decided to just move to the side and continue walking slow letting the car pass by we look back again and realized it is not a car but actually the same white van from before we freaked out a little bit but hoped that it was just going to pass it didn't we kept walking slowly for another 15 50 or 100 m and the van was slowly trailing us behind we sped up only to hear the van doing the same and when we slow down so did it this felt like a deciding moment in my life and we had to make a move I tapped my friend on the shoulder looked her straight in the eyes and said run the field to the left now we both make a run for it and ran faster than we ever have before we kept tripping on the piles of soil in the field however that didn't matter we kept getting up and running like hell finally out of breath we both stop and hop behind one of the piles on the ground waiting and looking at the van from far the van then turns on its high beams as if he was scanning the area for us the van then comes to a stop and two men exit they both had hoods on and holding a flashlight again scanning the surroundings seemingly looking for us I could hear them Mumble something to each other one of them seemed angry however they finally got back into the van and off they went from the same direction they came from both my friend and I agreed that this had to be one of the most frightening experiences we've ever had the houses finally started to appear again and the lights were finally showing us the way back home I cannot even imagine what would happen if these people got their hands on us I am never taking this path in the middle of nowhere again
