The Creepy Case Of Gary Sudbrink

[Mike]

This story about Gary Sudbrink is a very, very bizarre one. This has continually popped up in my YouTube feed, and I finally watched it. I was surprised to see it had never been discussed here on the forum...

This sums it up, basically (taken from a blurb on a related website):
On the evening of 8 February 1993, Gary Sudbrink was at his parent's home in New York, located on Long Island. The 27-year-old Air Force Captain had decided to make a surprise trip to visit his family and friends, and hadn't told anyone of his intention before flying back home from Texas.

However, late that evening, Gary's parents would receive a series of strange phone calls addressed directly to Gary. The caller on the other end spoke in a strange, mechanical voice and made a number of weird statements, alluding to Gary being impersonated by someone else...

It all began when Gary decided to call one of his old friends, Mike, hoping to make plans to get together and hang out while he was in town. However, during this call, Mike told Gary that they had actually spoken to one another the day before... which Gary knew wasn't the case, because surely he'd remember that conversation.

Right?

Despite Gary not believing what Mike was telling him, Mike insisted that Gary had called him on the phone the day before... or, at least, someone that sounded just like him, who called himself Gary, claimed to have flown in through LaGuardia Airport, and claimed to be getting over a cold. In reality, Gary had flown in through JFK and was in good health at the time, so this seemed to have been a weird mistake or mix-up of some kind. The alternatives were just unsettling to think about.

However, while Gary was talking to his friend at around 10:30 PM, trying to figure out what was going on, another call came in to his parent's phone line. What he heard made him pause; enough so that he pressed record on a nearby answering machine when it became clear that this was no regular call...

Curious to know what the members here make of this. Very weird stuff! 31 mins long:
