About this episode

When Elizabeth was 19, she got a job as an au pair for an 11-year-old girl named Amy. The girl and her parents lived on a horse farm in rural Georgia - it was remote and beautiful. But at night, when the house got dark and quiet, someone moved through the halls, waiting, and watching for Elizabeth. 

Thanks, Elizabeth, for sharing your story with Spooked!

Produced by Greta Weber, original score by Leon Morimoto, artwork by Teo Ducot
