Chapter 1: Why is this podcast episode a Hollywood special?
welcome back to creepcast today we are doing would you call this a hollywood special now with how with the recent news it's a bit of a crossover i'd say yeah sure yeah we are reading a uh story from back in the day called i pretended to be a missing girl which coincidentally not coincidentally because we're reading this because of this is uh it's the new movie sydney sweeney is doing when we saw that there was a movie that is uh
It's going to be about an r slash no sleep story. We had to read it, and I'm excited. I'm excited to read this and then go see it when it comes out and then see what do they keep, what do they change, all that kind of stuff.
Yeah, I think this is interesting because I actually hadn't heard of this no sleep story before, and it's only four years old, which for most no sleep stories is pretty short. It's pretty recent.
Is it only four years old? It's four years old. We've seen that it was posted on multiple platforms.
r slash websites i think we're reading the version from r slash short stories because i think it's the updated version yes so the author is a guy named joe coat uh on joe coat no sleep or on reddit his name is j coat 12 um he originally wrote the story to r slash no sleep and it was a shorter version that actually had a link at the end that made it seem like the ending of the story was in a newspaper like it was a newspaper clipping which is pretty cool but
But then he decided to do a rewrite, add on to the story a bit more, and posted a second version of it in r slash short story. So that's the version we're going to be reading today. But both of those say they were posted four years ago. So as far as like horror stories on Reddit goes, that's pretty recent from what we've seen.
Yeah, no, definitely. Usually, I mean, if you would have told me I guess when I first heard about it, I was thinking of, oh, this is like a 2015, 2016 story. You know, that kind of golden era of people posting in there. So they see that it's only four years old, something like maybe a COVID story. Probably maybe Joe was just, you know, sitting at home, like not doing shit.
Maybe that's what inspired something out of this. So pretty curious to see, though. Sidney Sweeney, you know, master of film, as Isaiah said. And the... I really appreciate her ability to find... The Immaculate movie that she... I don't know if she directed it, but I think she produced it and starred in it. Yeah. But just still, kind of weird... odd horror choice here.
So I'm wondering where that hook is going to be in here as well. That maybe makes it kind of visually interesting to translate that to the screen. So I'm hoping that there's some goodies here.

Chapter 2: What is the story behind 'I Pretended To Be A Missing Girl'?
Yeah. Imagine the viewer listener. Now imagine that the, uh, The person that's doing this is just me, but I'm dressed up as Sidney Sweeney. I have a blonde wig on, and my tits are just as big as hers, except I'm wearing a push-up bra now.
So the recording's been going 17 minutes and 31 seconds. I was wondering how long it would take you to mention Sidney Sweeney's chest. I was proud of you for not doing it in the intro, but 17 minutes, 31 seconds.
17 minutes, 31 seconds. And to be fair, I said that I am emulating her large breast with my own large breast.
But you still mentioned them. I just knew it would come up eventually. That's fair.
I was forcing all the blood to my face to not scream out it immediately. I'm proud of myself.
I was proud of you for not bringing it up in the intro. That was a big step. I know. I'm very proud of you, Hunter. I was stuck and needed a plan. Then I saw her face. Mikayla Murray. It was on a bulletin board at some cheap motel I'd been passing through. There were half a dozen girls out there, and Mikayla stood out. Her blonde hair straight and pretty, her blue eyes as white as her smile.
It stopped me dead in my tracks, because she looked like me. Exactly like me. I could have swapped in one of my old high school photos and nobody would have noticed. Not that anyone was paying attention to this board or these girls anymore. Even the lady at the motel who spotted me staring said, I ain't coming home, dear, but I don't got the heart to take him down.
I was curious enough to turn on the phone I'd kept in my bag just in case. My father had long stopped paying for it, but the motel offered free Wi-Fi, and I'd used it to read more about Michaela. I learned that she was only two years older than me, that the photo in the lobby wasn't just a one-off.
She resembled me in every other photo, of which there were many, along with theories about what had happened to her. I couldn't have given any less of a shit about that rabbit hole. What got my interest were the earrings Michaela wore in these photos, or the necklace her mother wore at the press conference, or the watch on her dad's wrist.

Chapter 3: Who is involved in the new Sydney Sweeney movie?
There probably wasn't a piece of furniture in this place less comfortable than the mattress I'd been living on for the last decade. I held in my amazement as we marched from room to room, deeper and deeper into the house. Linda was still exhaling, this stuttered, painful sob kept reaching to touch me in any way. A hand on the back or a light brush at the hair.
It was annoying, but then again, I never learned how to have a mother. When I shrugged Elena off, she looked heartbroken. Why would you shrug her off? It was at that moment that I finally began to feel like the asshole I knew I was. Okay, there you go. There it is. There's a little bit of like a human reaching out from deep down there.
After passing through the kitchen and down another hall, we stopped in their second larger living room. It was very open, the ceiling reaching all the way up to the third story with photos lined as high as a ladder could reach. I followed Michaela's progression of school photos, remarking how eerily similar they were to mine, and how they were one photo short.
There was an upper level behind us where a grand piano sat in one corner and a bar in the other, separated by yet another fireplace. I imagined how nice a Christmas tree must have looked in here, even during the day with the natural light coming in through the sliding glass doors to the back porch. Each Murray dropped onto a separate couch on the lower level. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I was craving a cigarette more than ever, and that alone was almost enough to get me on that roof.

Chapter 4: How did the podcast hosts react to the Reddit story adaptation?
Thank you, John. Authorities say they responded early last night to a fire in one very familiar Indiana home.
The home of Michaela Murray. James nearly fell out of his seat. Dropped my fork. Home fry fell on the floor.
Missing since 2008, Michaela's disappearance is one that rocked the small town of Millersburg, Indiana, but left many hopeful that she was still out there, listening. But when authorities found her car abandoned near Elkhart River, just miles from her home, friends and family began to fear the worst. Michaela was gone, her whereabouts never discovered, until now.
I wanted to turn back to James, but was afraid of the look on his face.
When authorities cleared the scene last night at 1108 Lincoln Avenue, they made a shocking discovery that would answer a decade-long mystery, but spark a new one.
It cut to the sheriff's press conference. He spoke matter-of-factly while cameras clicked all around him.
The fire department responded to a 911 call around 5 p.m. last night.
There was a gazebo on fire in the yard of the Murray residence, and when we assessed the damage, we discovered a bunker hidden underneath. Upon further inspection of the bunker, we found the body of a young woman and child. We indeed confirmed the woman to be Michaela Murray, but have no further information at this time.
James Quilled. They found her! That is insane that that actually worked. Yeah. Yeah, I'll be honest. I'm like, huh? I did not think that would happen. Yeah, I was like... Wait, hold on. A young woman and child? Yeah. No, there's a child's body down there.
