Great selection of stories! There have been a lot that sounded like tween-written, r/thahappened in the past couple of months... stoked to hear you narrate some decent choices. P.S. Dumfries and Galloway is a cool weekend visit if you're ever in Scotland. A hop, skip and a jump from Ayreshore. P.P.S. Tex-ar-can-uh,.like Arkansaz and Kansas (hence the name), not Tex-ar--kon-uh.

Yeah, except LetsRead should make sure they're not fake next time - that sniper story was by far one of the most cartoonish attempts at a war story that I've ever heard.

[@BBNOMERCY]

@@rjayyyy9623 True there's a lot of stories on these channels in general especially the ones involving guns that scream BS like ones where the person in the story was in a state of panic or distress and can't make out or remember the details of the thing or person they saw but they can remember the gun they had down to the caliber and manufacturer

Yeah, these stories are so incredibly fake... It's a bunch of wannabe writers.. Sure, creative writing is awesome and interesting--If done right. These are not. It's embarrassing, especially since they present them as "real accounts" and are so over the top. The stories with direct quotes and ridiculous descriptions are the worst. "I gulped as my mouth struggled to find the words and body ceased to function"... " I said.. "The only thing big here, is your imagination, buddy".... ha! so stupid.

[@DeadCrown22]

@@jaredschiff5003 That story was such bs lmao

[@rjayyyy9623]

​@@jaredschiff5003 I've had to come pretty far to find people with sense but I finally found some people who actually understand how marksmen actually work. No sniper in their right mind would willingly give their position away by laughing, shouting and sending a consistent stream of bullets into one target. Snipers since WW1 have pretty much been trained the same way, one of these teachings is to minimise your shots as it will minimise your exposure.

[@g1rl_veteran]

True, but it's possible that the amount of methamphetamine he was on had him purposely torturing those men. But, as a veteran myself, it seemed very foolhardy to waste rounds pumping them into a dead man. The paramedic in me though found what he said about not being able to recognize the man after the shot to the head affecting the integral structure of the skull making the man's facial features change. I suspect that there is truth to the story.

[@can-dance]

Oh sweet dear Captain so happy he was ok! I was on the edge of my seat waiting to hear what happened! Dogs really are the best.

[@kellyalves756]

Ravens will call wolves to wounded animals so they can share the bounty. The minute she started talking about Disney I was like “yggggh😖” It is possible to make friends with a corvid, and it is even possible the little crow felt kind of sorry for her, but then I’m sure hunters admire a stag just before they blast it.

Watch the old movie - “The Town That Dreaded Sundown” This movie was based off of the murders in Texarkana. I saw it when I was about 10 and it was frightening. Of course that’s been over 45 years ago when I snuck into the theatre to watch it. I was supposed to see a Disney movie but went out of that theatre and into the next.

[@ismae-rienne4991]

I saw that. It was running on a channel that runs old monster and sci-fi movies. That scared the living daylights out of me!

They re-did the movie a few years ago FYI. The re-make was pretty good, considering I’ve seen literally every scary movie since 1987ish (but 100% 1999 and up) even independents, short films, my favs are anthologies 🤩 that’s prob why I loVE LETS READ.

Right? Shows why suspense/horror movies are so much scarier and more unnerving when we DON'T KNOW what is stalking the protagonist, what is behind that door, or down in the basement...

She is 1 of 9 children and lived 1/4 of a mile from the Appalachian trail! We used to play in the woods across the st and have hiked a long ways on the trail! I do remember having a spooky feeling and experience either across the st in the woods(which aRE ALL APARTMENTS and housing etc now) but i remember my uncle telling me some strange stories about hiking.

I love the story about Captain. I have heard it many times as I have listened to every post several times. But she says it happened in North Carolina but asks the hunters if it is possible for a Grizzly to come that far down from the ROCKIES; However, the Rocky mountain range is in Colorado. The APPALACHIANS are in the area of North Carolina. So I worry that one of my favorite stories isn't true. Some people will ask, "does it matter?" Yes, yes it does since it is presented as such. 😢

[@amberd.883]

@@paintedp1nk yes but again if you deep dive into those stories, most of them are still pretty brutal. The prince only comes for the young coming of age characters. The beast comes for the adults all the time. Disney makes a pretty decent point of saying that once you have kids you officially cross into the nightmare hel1scape we call adulthood, and they don't make it pretty.

While yes, a couple of them are orphans, what does her having a child have anything to do with it? Doesn’t SHE have to be the orphan? I mean your comment stated that Disney Princesses are mostly orphans and that she didn’t qualify because she just had a child. For her, her parents would have to be dead to make her an orphan.

[@shiomicchi7247]

The military story reminded me of something that happened to my dad. My dad is a reserve sergeant in the Finnish army. During his compulsory military service in the 80s or 90s (I believe), he and a few comrades were in their quarters cleaning their rifles. One of his pals had obviously not noticed that there was a bullet in the chamber of his weapon and the rifle discharged by complete accident. It hit the guy sitting opposite him and it went through his skull, killing him instantly. The guy who died was sitting next to my dad when it happened, and it all happened in an enclosed space too. I can't begin to imagine how horrifying it was. It was a freak accident and it's not as thrilling as stories about being out on the battlefield necessarily, but it's one of the scariest things that he's gone through just because of how sudden and brutal it was. The guy who was in charge of checking the weapons was discharged for being incompetant and not checking the rifles properly before cleaning, and the guy whose weapon discharged never forgave himself. I don't know if he took his own life because of it, I'm a bit hazy about the details because I'm not in contact with my dad as we don't have the best relationship (he's manipulative and emotionally abusive to me and my mother) and I heard this story from my mother. Even if we were still in contact I probably wouldn't ask him about it out of respect for him and because of how awful the event must have been. I don't get on with him but I feel so bad for him for having to witness so scary and violent. I don't think he ever got the psychological help he needed for it and is struggling with the trauma of watching one of his friends die next to him to this day.
