The guy who wrote the Cloudpeak Wilderness story will write a great book I’m sure, as long as he refrains from saying “if you catch my drift” 300 times 😂 It was super interesting and had me wanting to know more!

[@iwouldrathernotsaybut6765]

yes!

[@justifan]

Yes, this story is so intriguing, and makes it all the more scary in that it seems so believable! Excellent and thank you!

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

Can someone please tell him that the phrase is meant to be used with euphemisms? I thought he was banging his friend until he mentioned them being like brothers, because he used “if you catch my drift” incorrectly/unnecessarily. Also, he wasted so much time talking about irrelevant things. He could have started with, “My best friend and I were hiking in/at….” As an editor, he wouldn’t be a good writer (not for non-fiction, anyway) because of the superfluous nature of his writing.

[@RelaxingUnderYourSkin]

@@LadyAstarionAncunin I thought they were on broke back mountain escapades as well😂

[@jackspring7709]

Exactly - I catch your drift.

[@elpretender1357]

A small detail that made the first story hard to believe is that the protagonists who are meant to be very experienced backpackers didn't carried any water purification tools, that's like one of the very first lessons you learn when you have to plan around. If OP wants to write a book he can't go the "oh no, the two of us forgot our filters" route, even if they forget to bring their filters to Wyoming the first thing they would have probably done is to buy at least one more, (yes they're that vital) or at the very least buy cheap water purification tablets.

[@cherylcampbell9369]

EXACTLY! That makes the whole story suspicious. Even more than the strangeness.

[@Dmitrikrotchlikmyov]

The guy in the first story went down one hell of a rabbit hole.

[@alinau1831]

The first story has stark similarities of the Whittaker family that Mark Laita did a few docu-shorts on. One family member is non-verbal, had a bark-like tic and loved small dogs.

[@cole3363]

the author def used that doc as inspiration

[@launicaestrella5440]

Same thing I was thinking 🤔 💭 🧐 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@hannaharmitage7089]

They were exactly what I thought of as soon as he said the kid barked

[@Bowser14456]

I was thinking of them too, I just forgot their last name

[@waterbed]

[@stevenbrown6277]

That Cloud Peak Wilderness story gave me the creeps. I have driven through those mountains dozens of times. There are a few creepy, almost abandoned rest areas along the roads. I don't use them.

[@MrCjosue24]

I thought that was Buzz Lightyear in the new intro! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@anewstandard.floors]

I was reading this comment as it was playing and I still thought it was buzz for a second. Took me a couple seconds longer than I'm proud of

[@cute_peanut3026]

Lmaooo

[@birddogjohnson]

The first story was fantastic and so well written. I'd read his book.

[@Ariconnie48]

Agreed. I don't even care if it's real or not

[@amordesdemona]

My dad is a biologist and has heard of people out on field work in the desert seeing a specific hallucination of a child who finds them and runs away, and the person runs to try and find them and they never do. It's probably because you're lonely and your brain needs stimulation, plus some dehydration maybe. It just reminded me a bit of the first story.

[@T1NF01L]

I live in AZ and can confirm a bark scorpion sting is not even hospital worthy unless you have an allergic reaction. Just keep the stung spot above heart level for a few hours and you're good, but baby bark scorpion stings can be fatal as adult only let out some venom to incapacitate. The babies however let it all out. Also a tip if anyone comes across a bark scorpion don't crush them they carry the babies on their back so crushing them sends the babies everywhere and now you got a new problem.

[@SvnLeafClvr]

Can not think of a better way to end the day! Thanks Joel! Dreamy voice, awesome stories!

[@moon8rager212]

The description of the first story’s author is hilarious. Whoever you are your voice for imagery is just fantastic. Write more

[@pelgpaladin1378]

As someone who got stung by a bark scorpion, you know when part of your body falls asleep and when you try waking it up it has like a tickling feeling all around it? Instead of tickling, it replaces with an unbearable pain and it gets worse by every pulse. And that’s from the baby scorpions!

[@Anjela2211]

That first story...the facially disadvantaged (lol) barking man child family sounds exactly like the Whittakers!! From Odd, W.V.

[@parismykitty]

yes!! that's who came to mind when he talked about the barking man child!

[@kimsandlin5286]

Thanks for the impeccable timing as always, Joel! Have a great weekend all! ☺🕷🕸🦇💀

[@lisalittke4674]

In the first story I'm guessing that young girl was kidnapped. There is no other way she could have learned to speak when the people she lived with could only bark. At some time in her life she had to have had a real family and normal surroundings where she heard words in order to speak them properly.

[@Etaoinshrdlu69]

I think its a fake story because theres a documentary on youtube about Us inbreds and one of the inbreds bark.

[@linehedevang5028]

@@Etaoinshrdlu69 yeah, sounds waaaaayy too much like the Whittaker family with a few small twists/changes

[@kimberlysmith4413]

The one person that spoke English maybe passed away already maybe it was the cops baby LOL

[@lisalittke4674]

@@kimberlysmith4413 Lol

[@dahliacheung6020]

Mmmhmm. It would definitely be the case that she was kidnapped as a young child with some ability to speak/knowledge of words but not full fluency. Would explain why she spoke broken English and looked nothing like everyone else. There's no way in hell she just happened to be a genetic miracle and learned to speak English in the midst of a family of inbred chinless blonde people who bark and speak gibberish. (Suspense of disbelief is being employed here. As in the thing that allows you to interact with fiction and unverifiable non-fiction as if it were real.)

As a current resident of League City. I'm glad you read this. Such a scary strange string of murders.

[@recycledapathy7411]

As someone who grew up in the area during the time when the killings happened, it was an absolutely scary story, especially since I had an older sister who had a tendency to run off when the mood hit her. Though I do find it odd that he described League City as being a small town. :/

That last story was actually very lucky. I've lived in AZ my whole life and the worst sting I've seen was when my friend was bit by a Brown Recluse Spider, the venom actually dissolves tissue (which non of us knew) so a day or so later when it still hurt like hell and wasn't getting better she showed us the bite and with a press a lot of....um...stuff came out and she had to go straight to the ER. The desert has some creepy-freaking-crawlies in it.
