## Resource

In this chilling podcast episode, we dive into a terrifying encounter that occurred 20 years ago in Commerce, California. A group of friends, out for a night of harmless fun, stumbled upon something they couldn't explain near a massive Scientology building on Sheila Avenue. Finding a quiet place to park so they can drink and smoke would bring them to this particular parking lot. They parked facing the building, only to spot a shadowy figure at the top of a staircase visible through the glass windows. What happened next defies explanation: the figure bolted down the stairs at an inhuman speed, seemingly floating, before bursting out of the building in pursuit of the panicked friends. The episode details the heart-pounding chase that ensued, with the entity - described as a pale, bald figure in a black suit with no discernible face - sprinting after their car at impossible speeds. The friends fled in terror, eventually finding refuge in one of their backyards.
