People trust doctors for many different reasons. For some, it is their perceived competence. For others, it is due to their bedside manner. But for most, it is their experience and history of fulfilled trust.

Most doctor’s have your best interests in mind, but sadly - some do not. In the case of Dr. Linda Hazzard; what was in her best interests was for her patients to die.

So open your mouth, and say “ahhh” my spooky friends. Today you will be hearing a story that may make you not want to see a doctor again.

In 2016; a horror movie called “The Boy” was released. It’s about a young woman named Greta, who was hired as a nanny for who she thinks is a little boy. In reality, Greta’s employers want her to care for a life sized porcelain doll named Brahms. This doll was a replacement for the couple’s real child, who died in a fire years before. Soon strange things start occurring; and at the film’s climax, the viewer learns that the real life Brahms did not die at all. He escaped the fire, and he was living inside the walls of his parent’s home for years. And then…well…you need to watch this movie to find out.

This movie makes for a good scare, but imagine for a moment that you discovered someone hiding behind the walls of your house. For one family, this was a terrifying reality.

So close your windows, and lock your doors my spooky friends. You are about to hear a story that will make you wonder if you are really safe in your own home. But before we get started, I want to give you all a heads up. Today, we will be talking about child abuse, sexual assault, and the murder of children and adults. Listener discretion is advised.
