Stalker on the Plane [0:09]
The narrator was traveling from New York to Chicago for a job interview. At the airport gate, he noticed a man staring at him intently. The man initiated a brief, uncomfortable conversation during boarding. On the plane, the man moved to sit next to the narrator, making him increasingly uneasy by asking personal questions and sketching his face in a notebook.
Upon arrival in Chicago, the man continued to follow the narrator, appearing at baggage claim and in the taxi line. The narrator managed to evade him temporarily but was shocked to find the man at his hotel. The man somehow obtained the narrator's room number and called him, inviting him to his room. The stalking continued the next day at a coffee shop near the interview location, prompting the narrator to flee back to the airport.
At the airport, the narrator alerted a TSA agent, leading to the man's detention. Authorities discovered notes and personal information about the narrator in the man's possession, revealing that he had fixated on the narrator after seeing a post about the interview online.
The Figure on the Runway [7:41]
The narrator, an air traffic controller at Meadow Creek Airfield, a small, rural airport, recounts a disturbing incident during a night shift. While guiding a Cessna for landing, he spotted a tall, gaunt figure standing in the middle of the runway. He immediately instructed the pilot to abort the landing, narrowly avoiding a collision. Security personnel searched the runway but found no evidence of the figure.
On his way home the next morning, the narrator noticed a dark sedan following him. The sedan pursued him even when he took an unexpected turn, intensifying his fear. Although he eventually lost the car, he felt unsafe and checked all the locks at home. Later that night, he was awakened by sounds of someone inside his house.
He was attacked by the same figure he had seen on the runway, who broke into his bedroom and lunged at him with a knife. The narrator fought back, was injured, and managed to escape to a neighbor's house. When the police arrived, the intruder was gone, leaving no trace. The narrator quit his job and moved away, haunted by the experience.
Unlicensed Taxi Driver [16:42]
The narrator arrived at an airport late at night and headed to the official taxi line. An unbadged man waved her over, offering a taxi ride at a "better price." The man's behavior and appearance raised suspicion, as his car was parked in a dark corner without official markings. He insisted on knowing where she was staying and blocked her path, making her feel unsafe.
The narrator activated the emergency options on her phone and subtly alerted a woman in the official taxi line. She raised her voice to ask the dispatcher if this was the official taxi area. The dispatcher intervened, causing the man to leave abruptly. The dispatcher then called security.
The narrator took an official taxi, and the driver warned her about unofficial drivers who prey on travelers. At the hotel, she saw a news report about robberies and missing tourists linked to unlicensed drivers. She realized how close she had come to a dangerous situation. Before leaving the hotel, she obtained a card with official taxi information and safety tips.
