Would love to know more of this green flower that causes you to act like you're on bath salts. Very curious...

[@roisinhart]

Just thought the same thing. I was hoping someone in the comments would be able to pin it down for us.

[@pixiehopper8]

That’s exactly why I came to the comments. Lol

[@surrealdynamics4077]

I came here too for this exact reason

[@andrewjoyce9038]

It's probably a Venus fly trap type flower. Disorientate it's prey

[@ontoLovingMyself]

@@andrewjoyce9038 but it won't be big as to trap a human

[@lauravr5632]

As someone with seriously irrational arachnophobia, my biggest fear has always been encountering a spider that I can hear walk/run. Makes me want to vomit.

[@katiejenkins4532]

Same. It's my only fear.

[@th-sd6ni]

the grandpa was obviously exaggerating...or made up the story entirely. There has never been documented spiders that size....and 5-foot centipedes have gone extinct for millions of years. Total BS.

[@snw0x0]

for me it’s roaches. and one day i was hiding somewhere and in a box right beside me i could hear a roach in it moving around and dying and that left a mark on my psyche 😀💀

[@forrestwoods8261]

I’m right there with you on the roaches I hate everything about them

[@dahliacheung6020]

Same same. Big one crawled up the back of my bed and down onto my pillow and I heard that shithead too. Almost had a heart attack. I hate them things

[@thelifeofdom797]

never been this early to a video before oh my qweeef

[@chinchinn8058]

Qweef be with you sister 😆

[@Beelzebubbly]

Story 2 has two of my biggest fears spiders and milliped. Blegh!

[@psychohippie]

Could the first story not have been a flower, but a fungus? now the only one I found shaped somewhat like a flower is from the Myriostoma family, it's not quite green, but looks like a little flower and spores come out when the puff is pressed.

[@Gaby-fb7gh]

That's what I was thinking

[@beth5633]

Maybe!

[@nightblind999]

That thing gives me irrational fear for some reason.

[@BestTimes8812]

Would fungi even live in rocky and deserty areas? I'd assume they'd prefer to be near other plant material and humidity. Those ones you shared tho are freaky

[@riakun]

Just throwing out an idea for story seven (in the unlikely chance that OP sees this): Insomnia, ADHD, "the weird kid", depression... Having multiple symptoms like those (also ADD, dyslexia, etc) can often be signs of being autistic. It's actually pretty much normal for us. If you have ADHD, trying talking to your doctor about the different medications you can use. Often times, it's just your brain having a hard time shutting off, and it can lead to things like insomnia. If you get a medication that works for you, it can regulate your sleeping patterns and schedule. I don't know the whole context, and I'm not an autistic therapist / psychiatrist, just saying what I've personally been through, as someone who is autistic, has ADD, dyslexia, and insomnia.

[@Jolis_Parsec]

High functioning autist here, what was formerly known as “Asperger’s Syndrome” until society decided that was verboten, and I can attest that that particular individual sounds like they could indeed be on the spectrum and aren’t aware of it. It’s not unheard of for folks to go through their entire childhood without being diagnosed either, so they might want to check about that possibility if they haven’t done so already.

[@ericac.brooks1851]

Me tò add adhd but not autistic

[@shreddedcheese6395]

[@Sinamuna]

I want to know the name of the flower from the first story.

[@tablescissors]

Audrey II

[@brandonchambers963]

Anyone know what that plant was from the first story? That sounds absolutely terrifying!

[@johnnynapalm2887]

Im wondering too. I want to line my property in them lmao

[@theveimox4945]

I really want to know as well but I cant find anything! I've been looking online and can't seem to find a flower that does what that person described, the best I found was that there's a thing called "tropane alkaloid" which is something that can be found in toxins that plants release as part of a defense mechanism to avoid being eaten by herbivores and " They are known to cause cardiac disorders, mainly related to heart rate disturbances, and also euphoric states, disorientation, depressive activity toward the CNS, and dryness of mucous membranes." This is seriously the closest I could find but I'm sure its probably wrong. I really hope somebody with more knowledge can tell us what that plant was though because I'm very curious

[@johnnynapalm2887]

@@theveimox4945 those things from the tropane alkaloid could definitely cause that first story to happen. Elevated heart rate/fear will have you all fucked up.

[@iridiumcaptain]

My best guess, as is suggest by some others, is that it might be Datura (or something related to it). Johnny's guess about the type of poison would comport with this guess.

[@adawg3032]

@@theveimox4945tropane alkaloids are a wide range of chemicals. Even cocaine is a tropane alkaloid. There are some tropane alkaloids that are also opioids. It’s like saying “caloric beverage” instead of saying “coca cola”, it’s broad and non specific. Brugmansia which contains scopolamine which is a tropane, does cause delirium but that doesn’t mean every tropane alkaloid does the same thing.

[@flagerdevil]

Surely somebody knows what that flower in the first story is!?

[@cloudfair2]

Does anyone know that flower? I tried a question google search but it mostly gives me “fear of flowers” results. What kind of flower can induce such a strong sense of fear?

[@StellaBellar]

some comments above think its Datura or something similar. Nightshade like thing

[@jacobbowling263]

Joel my brother I love the buttersock cult they are the best cult in the world. They care for their members. I appreciate their support. Joel you are amazing thank you for all of your work. Have a amazing evening I hope Purrdeep has an amazing evening as well.

[@mleighqs]

I have to say, I would have reacted the same way if I was face to face with those demon spiders. Thanks for the vid Lets Read!

[@xLoadez]

Me too! I'm curious what species they were though.

[@Veladus]

@@xLoadez Heteropoda maxima. Giant huntsman. Yeah, those enormous ones Aussies are always posting pictures of? Those are the regular size ones, that part of Asia has the cave dwelling *giant* version. Harmless, but absolutely terrifying. They're the biggest spider in the world by legspan.

[@roisinhart]

I have never fainted in my life, but that would have been the time for me. No. Way. In. Hell. 😖

[@ExpressMailedMystery]

i think the "flower" might have been a peyote plant, which has paranoia,anxiety and fear effects, known to explode when overfertilized, but don't quote me on that, this is just speculation

[@moonpai3668]

My family lives near the Grand Canyon, the only idea I have of what plant it could’ve been is Jimsonweed or flowering Peyote

[@amberheaton9419]

the 6th story reminded me about a crazy elementary school music teacher I had. she would walk around with her gross ear 2 inches from your mouth to make sure everyone was singing

Oof that dream story hit home. I have ridiculously vivid dreams and sometimes can't get out of them. It's pretty scary how life like they get

[@kawaiivoid04]

I get them all the time too, the decisions in the dreams scare me because they feel so real. It leaves me wondering often

Giant Spiders? I always thought they made lame enemies in video games but now I’m rethinking it.

[@robinmcinarnay7827]

Sounds like he came very, frighteningly close to becoming a statistic of the Missing 411 phenomenon. Very weird. The flower could be what obscures or obstructs K‐9 from finding a scent.

[@fived9424]

Sounds like bs to me

[@wrgaming9286]

@@fived9424 twaddle? 😂

[@iridiumcaptain]

@@fived9424 sounds like it possibly could've been Datura, which grows in desert areas. But I don't know enough about it can can't find much about any sort of datura pollen release that could cause that reaction.

[@LhuinIndal]

To be fair it could have been a peyote plant like someone else has said however I'm unsure about this.

[@JL-xc5hs]

Story #1 -> Did this happen to Terrence Woods? While filming on the Gold Rush franchise for Discovery in the abandoned mines of Idaho County, Terrence jumped off a cliff and sprinted into the thick mountain forest stunning the entire crew.

[@lavanyarathore5339]

[@MP-qq7cl]

So the person from story #5 decides to just straight up stop taking their meds & deal with the insomnia? Change of meds seems like a less drastic solution 🤔

Another great 4chan story collection 😃👍🏿 beautifully read, excellent choice for an opening tale. I give 4chan posts a pass on expecting them to be 💯 true, being entertaining is the expectation -- but a lot of these read quite believably.

[@hopelessdroid]

That first story really got my curiosity meter trought the roof. Is there any flower that actually as similar behaviors to the story ?

[@iridiumcaptain]

I think Datura is a plausible candidate. ...maybe? But I'm certainly not the one to ask.

[@1991birthday]

As for the person with the strange guy in their dreams, that reminded me of an encounter I had during surgery when I was knocked out, some mystery person stopped me from waking myself up when I realized I was dreaming, it’s common for me to do that, & we just chatted until I woke up. He seemed to be aware of things that flew over my head but I guess that’s me noticing things but not paying attention to it or something.

[@luvme23]

That story about the insomnia I get that one. I have med to help me sleep because I suffer from insomnia I stop taking only if I truly need it. The med I would have crazy dreams my kids and a friend of mine say I would talk in my sleep but it didn't sound like me. And I would cry and fight but only when I took the meds I would do this.

I wish that KZbin creators would look up the definition of the word 'true'

[@ajwuvsu]

Just take it like it's a story a coworker told you. Probably embellished, maybe even made up, but if true...pretty terrifying. For things to be completely true, they'd have to be verified. You'd just end up with murder documentaries since we can't really verify otherworldly or supernatural stories. TL;DR Take the stories with a grain of salt.

HI MR H

[@beth5633]

Maybe the giant spiders were huntsman spiders? Do they also live in Asia?

[@Veladus]

Yes. In fact, the cave-dwelling Asian ones are giant huntsmans. The ones Aussies are always showing pictures of are the SMALLER variety. The centipede is either totally fiction or they mistook several skittering abominations for one. No centipede gets anywhere near 5 foot. Even 1 foot is almost unheardof.

After hearing the story about the large insects in Vietnam I have some theories. Way back during the Carboniferous period oxygen levels were much more dense then they were nowadays which meant that most invertebrates such as spiders or dragonflies could grow to gigantic size. It is possible that Vietnam experienced a higher level of oxygen at some point in the past that had lead to the evolution of some of the organisms noted in the story. It could also be that the insects weren’t large at all, instead it could be result of how fear has a tendency to exaggerate the size of something (apparently people with arachnophobia are prone to this). What do you guys and gals think about my two theories? I honestly don’t really think the story is true as it sounds biologically bizarre.

[@stuartfishman719]

No spider in the world is that big. Biggest is the Goliath Tarantula of South America...about 8 inches.

For having nightmares, that medication would most likely could have been Ambien. And the side effects of Ambien are Nightmares, Sleepwalking, and Hallucination. I was on it years ago and I slept walked 2 times and had seen the carpet on the floor and the ceiling do swirls and go up and down as waves in the ocean. I reached out to see if I could touch them, but I couldn't touch them because they were not actually happening in reality. I took myself off Ambien. My parents caught me sleepwalking and told me about it the next day by asking me if I knew I was even doing them. First, they asked me if I knew that I was doing them, and I told them no. I always have bad dreams, so I never gotten nightmares from Ambien's side effects that I know of. So, you were most likely taking Ambien for Insomnia as I had. You were having side effects of nightmares from Ambien. There is also another name for that medication, generic and original Rx meds.
