Hello let's read I enjoy and love listening to your scary stories and awesome narrations I've been a fan for awhile I have looking for one of my favorite stories of yours you did awhile back about a group of girls car went dead on side of the road and one girl went up the road and up a tree to get phone reception then they all got harassed by a crazy dude. Running at a car with a branch at the end of story when she went to get her back the next day the guy smugged cigs all in her window that story had me laughing if you remember doing that story can you please tell me which compilation it is in I've looked at a lot of them can't find it but love to hear it again thank you

@Vanessa Donato I've always had this thing where I say, "must be a full moon tonight, people are being weird". Usually it turns out it is a full moon. Luna/lunatic, all that. But this first full moon of the year has being particularly odd.

[@turtlegangordie3059]

@@Alfofthyefax did you know the reason people act crazy on a full moon is due to the fact a lot of people have parasites and the full moon causes them to act out

[@Alfofthyefax]

@@turtlegangordie3059 That's not true though. Actually neither is the moon affecting one's sanity. It's really just a Greek/Roman belief and coincidental that people are a bit nuts on a full moon, I've always said it with tongue firmly in cheek. There have been scientific studies. The parasite thing is utter nonesense, as a pathologist I know.

[@michaeltobias3110]

I completely agree

[@Babyclownn]

The first story sounds a little fishy. You don’t get a medal of valor for just being shot. Also if this happened in the mid to late 90’s the medal of valor act wasn’t passed until 2001. Not to mention this sounds a lot like that one scene in True Detective. You know, the one with the meth lab cook walking through the trees in his underwear and a gas mask…

Wow. Humans being called scabs and morons. Humans are humans. We mess up. That doesn't make them less than. Nope. Just makes them human.

[@chopsandtoots]

@Tyler Stone That was my first thought. He thought he was going to be Mr. Hero and he: didn't tell anyone where he was going, decided to investigate a drug bust on his own, didn't have a search warrant (it's never specified if the forest was private, corporate owned, or government owned) didn't have his weapon ready when he turned his back on the assailant, and somehow managed to miss all of his shots. This story sounds fake too because speed loaders wouldn't be readily available to poorly funded police departments in the rural South in the 90's.

[@RipResistantPantyhose]

Yes it’s probably the most freaky story I’ve heard so far

[@devildude64]

I've only gotten to listen to the first story,so far. Getting ready to get some snacks and hunker down to listen to the rest. Kinda crazy,but I'm compelled to Google "Mud Lake in Chico County" just to see if any crime scene photos were released of that poor soul who was tied to the stake in that shed. Or just the cook site in general. The description of it was SO VIVID !!

[@QuestionThings123]

Dunno about finding all of that, or even any mention of the actual story for that matter...but Chicot County is real enough, and Mud Lake is definitely a real lake in that county in Arkansas, and it really is a small populace there, consistently staying below 10k ppl for the most part throughout history. Arkansas is my home, not that specific area though. I mean, just going from the story it doesn't sound fake to me at all...truth is far stranger than fiction most of the time, but tbh this one isn't even that strange. It's pretty believable from what I know of the state overall.

[@devildude64]

It’s not real, just a reworked version of an episode of true detective, right down to the guy with the gas mask and underwear.
