Transcript

So there was this one 13-year-old girl named Emily Carter who became known for surviving her own birthday party. She threw a sleepover for her birthday and invited six of her closest friends. Everything was normal: cake, pictures, laughing, just a regular slumber party. Nothing seemed off at all. That night, all of them went to sleep in the basement because that's where they usually slept during sleepovers. But the next morning, Emily woke up and every single one of her friends was dead. When police arrived, Emily was hysterical, shaking, crying, completely distraught.
