martha was rinsing dishes one evening
0:01
when she saw what she believed to be a
0:03
small snake slithering around her
0:04
kitchen sink panicked she trapped it
0:07
under a glass and called the local
0:08
wildlife rescue the vet arrived
0:10
expecting a routine snake retrieval
0:12
however upon closer inspection his face
0:15
black he stared at Martha's voice
0:16
trembling "it's not a snake it's far
0:19
worse." Martha looked at veterinarian
0:21
George whose face looked pale "what do
0:23
you mean it's not a snake?" she asked
0:25
her voice filled with fear her hand
0:27
trembled as she pressed the glass down
0:29
feeling the snake moving around inside
0:31
it george searched for the right words
0:33
not wanting to scare Martha even more
0:35
suddenly he grabbed his phone and began
0:37
to walk away "keep your hand on the
0:39
glass i have to call someone." He walked
0:41
out of the front door leaving Martha
0:43
alone struggling against the snake's
0:45
strength it really wanted to get out
0:46
from under the glass and Martha had to
0:48
do her very best not to let that happen
0:50
with the size of this thing she was sure
0:52
one bite would be enough to kill her her
0:54
heart raced as she waited and waited and
0:56
waited just as her hand began to cramp
0:59
George returned "what took you so long?"
1:01
she blurted out her arm was losing
1:03
strength rapidly and she needed George
1:05
to switch places with her "here you hold
1:07
it down now," she ordered but George
1:09
hesitated "but what animal was actually
1:11
in Martha's drain why was Vet George
1:14
acting so strange and why didn't he want
1:16
to help her?" But before we start smash

1:23
in the days before Martha discovered the
1:25
animal in her drain she had noticed
1:27
strange sounds echoing through her house
1:29
at night at first she had just assumed
1:30
it was her house settling or something
1:32
like that but each night it was
1:34
somewhere else inside her house and
1:36
after a week she began to hear those
1:38
sounds during the day as well she
1:39
thought she was going mad she even
1:41
called a ghost whisperer who came to her
1:43
house and told her various ghost stories
1:45
luckily her sister gave her a big
1:47
reality check when she came to visit
1:49
it's probably just termites you weirdo,"
1:51
she said boldly but it did make Martha
1:53
rethink everything she wasn't scared
1:54
anymore instead she was a bit disgusted
1:57
she called an exterminator the same day
1:59
but when they came by they told her she
2:01
didn't have a single termite in her
2:03
walls or ceilings she was back to square
2:05
one but she was exhausted and annoyed at
2:07
this point while washing her dishes she
2:09
got lost in thought thinking about
2:11
moving away when she suddenly felt
2:13
something move past her hand martha
2:15
drained the sink immediately when it was
2:17
almost empty she saw the end of what she
2:19
thought to be a snake's tail disappear
2:20
into her drain martha screamed and
2:23
dropped her plate which shattered on the
2:24
ground as she jumped backward chills ran
2:27
over her body as she realized a snake
2:28
had slithered past her hand then it
2:31
suddenly reappeared without thinking
2:33
Martha grabbed a glass and placed it
2:34
over her drain not wanting the snake to
2:36
slither into her house with her other
2:38
hand she reached for her phone and
2:40
called animal control her heart raced as
2:42
she realized she was stuck in her
2:43
kitchen until someone arrived to catch
2:45
the slithery animal she felt it move
2:47
inside the glass but was way too scared
2:49
to look after what felt like ages
2:51
someone rang her doorbell "come in
2:53
through the back door," she yelled as
2:54
loud as she could hoping the person at
2:56
the door would hear her she didn't want
2:58
to leave her spot as she didn't want to
2:59
risk the glass falling over she heard
3:01
the person at the door move around her
3:02
house and finally a man stepped into her
3:05
kitchen the man introduced himself as
3:07
George a vet martha explained what she
3:09
had seen and told George the animal was
3:11
still underneath the glass intrigued
3:13
George stepped closer and Martha lifted
3:15
the glass slightly after peeking
3:17
underneath the glass he shot upright and
3:19
gasped "that's not a snake!" George
3:21
yelled his eyes wide in shock martha
3:23
couldn't believe what she was hearing
3:25
"what do you mean it's not a snake?"
3:27
Martha's frustration grew as George
3:29
hesitated unsure if he should intervene
3:31
why are you just standing there she
3:33
snapped george bit his lip eyes darting
3:35
between Martha and the glass i I don't
3:38
know if it's safe he stammered martha's
3:40
grip on the glass tightened i can't hold
3:42
it forever she shouted george took a
3:45
small step forward but then froze again
3:47
martha felt a surge of anger and
3:48
desperation do something George she
3:52
demanded her voice shaking the creature
3:54
pushed harder against the glass making
3:56
Martha's hand tremble she could feel its
3:58
strength increasing as if it sensed her
4:00
weakening grip "it's getting stronger,"
4:03
she hissed through gritted teeth george
4:05
watched in horror as the glass started
4:06
to tilt "hold on Martha!" he exclaimed
4:09
finally stepping closer martha's voice
4:12
cracked with fear demanding George help
4:14
her immediately "george please i can't
4:16
do this alone," she begged tears welling
4:18
up in her eyes george's face was a mask
4:20
of indecision he reached out but then
4:22
pulled back his hand trembling i need to
4:25
know what it is first he muttered
4:27
martha's heart pounded in her chest we
4:29
don't have time for that she shouted
4:32
just help me George sweating profusely
4:34
insisted it wasn't safe to interfere
4:37
martha I don't think it's safe to touch
4:38
it he said wiping his forehead martha's
4:41
eyes widened with frustration then what
4:43
do we do let it escape she retorted
4:46
george shook his head we need
4:47
professional help he explained glancing
4:50
nervously at the glass martha's patience
4:52
was wearing thin you're the vet here
4:54
George she yelled her voice echoing in
4:57
the kitchen act like one martha's
4:59
anxiety spiked as George refused to
5:01
assist her directly you can't leave me
5:03
like this she cried her voice trembling
5:05
with panic george backed away his face
5:08
pale i'm sorry Martha but this is beyond
5:12
my expertise he said his voice shaky
5:15
martha's mind raced she looked at George
5:17
with pleading eyes "please don't leave
5:19
me alone with this thing," she whispered
5:21
feeling utterly abandoned "george
5:23
stepped back and quickly dialed a number
5:25
speaking urgently." "Hello." "Yes this
5:28
is Dr george Carson." "I need immediate
5:31
assistance at 345 Maple Street," he said
5:34
his voice rising with each word "please
5:36
hurry," he hung up and glanced at Martha
5:38
"help is on the way," he assured but his
5:40
eyes betrayed his fear martha's hand
5:43
achd feeling isolated and desperate for
5:45
help her grip on the glass was slipping
5:47
and the creature's relentless pushing
5:48
made it harder to hold on george's hush
5:51
conversation heightened Martha's sense
5:53
of urgency she could hear him muttering
5:55
into his phone "yes it's serious no I
5:58
don't know what it is." He glanced at
6:01
her eyes wide with worry "they're on
6:03
their way," he reassured but it felt
6:05
like forever martha pleaded softly her
6:08
voice barely above a whisper for George
6:10
to hurry "please George I can't do this
6:12
alone." The tension in the room grew as
6:14
Martha struggled to hold on the creature
6:17
was becoming more frantic and the glass
6:18
began to vibrate with its movements
6:20
"george do something!" she cried out her
6:23
voice breaking george looked around
6:25
desperate for a solution he grabbed a
6:27
towel and pressed it down on the glass
6:29
adding his weight to hers "just a bit
6:31
longer," he whispered martha nodded two
6:33
more people arrived equipped with heavy
6:35
duty gloves and tool they moved quickly
6:37
but carefully their eyes wide with a
6:39
mixture of curiosity and concern "we're
6:41
here to help!" one of them said nodding
6:43
at George martha's grip on the glass
6:46
wavered as relief and fear mingled
6:47
within her "thank goodness," she
6:49
murmured george stepped back giving the
6:51
newcomers space "this is Martha," he
6:54
introduced "we need to contain this
6:56
thing right away." They cautiously
6:58
approached Martha concern evident in
7:00
their eyes "hi Martha," the taller one
7:03
said softly "we're going to take it from
7:05
here okay?" Martha nodded her eyes fixed
7:07
on the glass the other team member
7:09
adjusted their gloves ready to assist
7:12
just hold on a bit longer," they
7:14
reassured george stood by his expression
7:16
serious the team exchanged a look
7:19
understanding the gravity of the
7:20
situation they moved closer prepared to
7:22
take over george took charge instructing
7:25
the team to contain the creature
7:26
immediately "all right here's the plan,"
7:28
he said his voice firm "we need to get
7:30
it into the containment box without
7:32
letting it escape." Martha watched as
7:34
George pointed to the tools they had
7:36
brought "you grab the box you be ready
7:39
to secure the glass," Ed directed the
7:41
team members nodded following his
7:43
instructions without hesitation martha
7:45
felt a flicker of hope amid her fear
7:47
martha's fear escalated as the team
7:49
moved closer to the glass the creature
7:51
underneath seemed to sense the activity
7:53
its movements becoming more frantic it's
7:55
getting agitated she warned her voice
7:58
trembling george glanced at her nodding
8:00
"we're ready," he said the team
8:02
positioned themselves tools in hand "on
8:04
my count," George instructed martha's
8:06
heart raced as they prepared to lift the
8:08
glass 1 2 3 George called out and the
8:12
team sprang into action the team
8:14
prepared their tools ready to secure the
8:16
mysterious creature they moved with
8:17
precision each person knowing their role
8:20
hold it steady George instructed his
8:22
eyes focused martha held her breath
8:24
watching their every move one team
8:26
member carefully slid a tool under the
8:28
glass while the other readied the
8:29
containment box "we're almost there,"
8:32
George muttered martha's grip tightened
8:34
her mind racing with worry the moment of
8:36
truth was at hand the team set up a
8:38
containment box around the glass
8:39
carefully george directed them ensuring
8:42
every movement was precise easy now we
8:45
don't want to startle it he warned the
8:47
box had a sliding lid that the team
8:48
positioned right next to the glass
8:50
martha watched with baited breath her
8:52
eyes darting between the team and the
8:53
creature is it going to work she
8:55
whispered george nodded slightly his
8:57
focus unwavering it has to he replied
9:00
martha's heart pounded her fear reaching
9:03
new heights she could feel her pulse in
9:04
her throat as the team made final
9:06
adjustments to the box she asked George
9:08
about the creature her voice trembling
9:11
"george what is it why is it so
9:13
dangerous?" George glanced at her
9:15
"martha I wish I could tell you," he
9:17
said his voice steady but serious "right
9:20
now our priority is to contain it
9:21
safely." Martha swallowed hard nodding
9:24
"okay but please once it's secure you
9:26
have to explain," she insisted george
9:29
remained silent focusing entirely on the
9:31
task at hand he motioned for the team to
9:33
proceed his eyes never leaving the glass
9:35
martha felt a surge of anxiety as she
9:37
watched them work the room was filled
9:39
with a sound of careful movements and
9:40
the occasional hushed instruction the
9:43
team readied themselves for a
9:44
coordinated capture of the creature
9:46
george counted down his voice calm and
9:48
authoritative on three lift the glass
9:50
and slide the box over it he instructed
9:53
the team nodded their muscles tensed in
9:55
anticipation 1 2 3 George called out in
10:00
a swift practice motion the glass was
10:02
lifted and the box slid into place
10:04
martha held her breath watching the
10:06
creature's every move the moment of
10:08
truth had arrived the team swiftly
10:10
lifted the glass securing the creature
10:12
in the containment box in one
10:14
coordinated move they trapped it without
10:16
giving it a chance to escape martha
10:18
watched her breath caught in her throat
10:19
the box clicked shut and George
10:21
immediately locked it "it's done," he
10:24
said exhaling a sigh of relief martha
10:26
finally let go of the glass her fingers
10:28
numb from gripping it so tightly "is it
10:30
really over?" she asked her voice shaky
10:33
martha collapsed in relief overwhelmed
10:35
and shaky after the incident george
10:37
tried to reassure her that the threat
10:39
was contained but both remained uneasy
10:41
the team sealed the mysterious creature
10:43
in a locked containment box moving it to
10:45
the kitchen with extra precautions
10:47
martha still shaken couldn't stop asking
10:50
"Is it really safe?" Curiosity quickly
10:52
replaced fear martha demanded answers
10:54
from George refusing to accept vague
10:56
reassurances after pressure from Martha
10:59
in a silent exchange with his team
11:01
George finally agreed to reveal the
11:03
truth he led Martha to the box warning
11:05
her to keep an open mind as the team
11:07
gathered George slowly lifted the lid
11:09
martha leaned in her heart racing "what
11:12
is it?" she whispered george looked at
11:14
her and replied "Look for yourself."
11:16
Martha was shocked to see a large pink
11:18
tail inside the box "carly not a snake."
11:20
George admitted it was something much
11:21
rarer as Martha connected strange noises
11:24
in her home to the creature she demanded
11:26
answers george explained they'd
11:27
encountered similar creatures before
11:29
though rarely in this era it wasn't just
11:31
her house other incidents had been
11:32
reported nearby what seemed like an
11:34
isolated case was part of a growing
11:36
problem that now needed urgent action
11:38
martha was horrified to discover the
11:40
strange creature in her home was
11:41
actually a giant aggressive rat though
11:43
relieved it wasn't something worse the
11:45
danger was real george and his team
11:47
explained these rats were smart
11:49
destructive and difficult to catch they
11:51
began their work using traps and
11:53
specialized gear martha still anxious
11:55
checked her drainage system herself and
11:57
called Pest Control for a full
11:59
inspection to her shock a colony of rats
12:02
was found beneath her home after the
12:03
infestation was cleared Martha struggled
12:05
to feel safe again constant anxiety
12:07
drove her to make a difficult decision
12:09
she put her house up for sale eventually
12:12
she moved to a quieter neighborhood
12:13
hopeful to start fresh and regain peace
12:15
the new home brought Martha peace and
12:17
the refreshing change helped her finally
12:19
relax living near a park she loved she
12:21
embraced daily walks made new friends
12:23
and felt more connected than ever to
12:25
prevent any future infestations she
12:27
adopted two cats Whiskers and Shadow who
12:29
quickly became her playful protectors
12:31
their presence gave her comfort and joy
12:34
helping her leave the past behind with
12:36
each day her fear faded replaced by
12:38
contentment watching her cats play in
12:40
