Hello, spooky humans. This week, Christina, Beth, and Holly discuss two stories of individuals with troubled upbringings, and how their paths would ultimately collide, changing both of their lives forever. Come along with us on a very twisted journey of terror, tragedy, but also courage, that will break your heart but give you hope. This is the story of how 17 year old Lisa McVey found herself in the claws of a ruthless predator, and how her quick thinking and bravery lifted her from a dire situation in which other victims did not escape.
