Dorothy Forstein vanished from her Philadelphia home in 1949, and the strangest detail came from her 9-year-old daughter.

According to Marcy, she woke up in the middle of the night and saw a stranger inside the house. Dorothy appeared unconscious, and the man reportedly told Marcy not to worry before carrying her mother away.

Dorothy was never seen again.

But four years earlier, Dorothy had already survived a terrifying attack inside that same home — and the person responsible was never caught.

In this episode of Her Strange Hour, formerly Echoes & Oddities, we look at the unsettling disappearance of Dorothy Forstein, the earlier attack, and the questions that still remain unanswered.
