I grew up in Louisiana, so there were swamps all over. There are all sorts of dangers in there, from cottonmouths, to alligators, snapping turtles, crawfish, leeches, and many more things to haunt your dreams lol. It's a great setting for a hell of a scary story.

[@keiferwoods2871]

Can we just talk about how in the third story I believe, the guy apparently brought along a 12 gauge shotgun to hunt squirrel… if you shot a squirrel with that the only thing left would just be a big red mist and some fur. Oh and also, imagine going out into the woods with a .22 handgun as defense, unless you’re defending against rodents or one hell of a marksman, the bigger animals will shrug that caliber off like being hit by a pebble. Sorry I just thought that was funny and had to bring it up 😂

[@blainwilson7937]

Do you hunt? #8 birdshot is acceptable to use for squirrels in a .12 gauge. The bird shot spreads out and doesn’t do much damage to the squirrel but is effective with the spread. A .22 handgun in the woods is sufficient for defense against wild hogs, feral dogs in many states but it’s obvious you would want something bigger out west or in Alaska.

[@keiferwoods2871]

@@blainwilson7937 yes I do hunt. To me, you’re putting an awful lot of trust in the birdshot spread not missing the squirrel or landing a killing hit and not just wounding it. I much prefer a .22 rifle for squirrels and when I do hunt, I always bring my .45ACP 1911with me.

I want SO much to like Carmen, bc I adore dark folklore, & there aren't enough women in horror narration. But I just.. can't get behind her voice for some reason. I'm sure she's an AMAZING person, & it's something wrong on my end, but her voice just grates on me & I wish I knew why. I dunno if it's the accent, the monotone, the mispronunciations or what, but I've tried listening several times here & on the podcast and I fear she's just.. not for me. 3( I'll keep trying though. 'Cause I truly do wanna give her, & FF, a fair shot. Spooky folklore is my thing all the way,. Just.. not this particular narrator unfortunately. u-u

[@spaceylacey83]

It feels weird to me too because I have a southern accent, grew up around them, and hers sounds *so weird* to me. I dunno if it's fake or if it's real and she's trying to restrain it but sometimes she has southern I sounds and sometimes she doesn't and it just trips me out. It's like the uncanny valley of accents.

[@RuinedTemple]

@@spaceylacey83 I wouldn't think it's fake, likely just a different dialect from some other area of the south. Or, she may have spent a significant amount of time living somewhere that has a noticeably different accent & it affected her own. Another possibility is having parents with significantly different sounding accents from one another (like me, dad from Oklahoma & New Mexico, mom from Michigan & Washington). There are several situations that can naturally defuse a southern accent (and of course, they're not all the same).

[@spaceylacey83]

@@RuinedTemple lol I know they're not all the same. I'm used to that. I've lived all over the place and my accent is changed too, I just find her dialect unusual enough that it always snags my attention. I even said, she could be trying to tone down a real one. Lots of us do that after being made fun of enough.

[@RuinedTemple]

@@spaceylacey83 Oh I bet. She may also do it because sometimes ppl complain about not being able to understand southern accents lol.
