Halloween Night Encounter and a Near Miss

  • 🚗 A personal anecdote recounts a Halloween night in 1996 where the narrator, acting as a designated driver, felt an inexplicable urge to return to his girlfriend's apartment.
  • 🎶 The urge coincided with his girlfriend's favorite song, "No Diggity," playing on the radio, which he believes subtly influenced his decision to go back.

  • 📹 Using security camera footage and DNA from the saliva, he reported the incident to the police.
