00:00This is a true story that happened in my town.
00:13So this one Wednesday is like a normal day for the whole school.
00:19But today was different.
00:23Every other class had all their kids.
00:26But Mrs. Gandy's room was totally empty.
00:32And you know why?
00:35Because the night before, at 2.17 in the morning,
00:39every kid woke up, got out of bed,
00:45walked downstairs, and into the dark.
00:50And they never came back.
00:56I don't understand at all.
01:00Why just her classroom? Why only her?
01:04Where are our children?
01:06We have a lot of emotional parents here.
01:09I think it's best if you keep some distance from this place.
01:12Matthew, where are you?
01:33Where did you go?
01:49This is where the story really starts.
01:52This is where the horror is.
01:55I think it's better.
01:57Thank you so much.
02:00I'm sorry.
02:01This is where I'm from.
02:02I hear you now.
02:02We'll go again next,
02:04close to the next one,
02:07Well,
02:07thank you to yourself.
