Deaf Man's ASL Storytelling, "Scary Chicken Story"

WARNING: Don't let your children watch this video or they will have a nightmare. I mean it!
This video is great practice for interpreters who want to study America Sign Language (ASL).

[@kaytichavez5084]

Okay I just wanted to say that when I first started studying ASL, I found this video and watched it. Of course I had no idea what it was saying.. But After years of studying, I found this video on youtube again and oh my goodness it's so amazing! I can understand it almost perfectly! I mean it's always amazing that I can understand ASL when someone signs to me, but finally understanding a story that was always unknown to me after all this time is truly amazing.

[@DackVirnig]

Kayti Lauridsen It is always amazing to see how it takes time to study a beautiful language and to finally understand something is a blessing! I am happy to know you liked my video!

[@tinkerbelle143]

I can't wait until I can finally understand your story! :)

[@kierah16]

Kayti Chavez I am now where you were years ago and can't understand a thing! How'd you learn? 🤔

[@patriciamorris6435]

I am taking my first ASL class, this was fantastic for learning expression. It was easy to keep my attention on your face not your hands. Thank you! Love it!!

[@kitsunehanyou09]

Our ASL Teacher just showed this to us today, and it is cool! The way you use your expressions, body motions, and even the chair just make it really fun to watch! Thank you very much :D Oh and... it just so happens we're having fried chicken for dinner lol

[@corinaburciaga8821]

I had to voice this story for my ASL 4 and i loved it!👍 love your signing Dack!😀

[@AuroraMoon2000]

I feel your pain... I'm deaf and know ASL, but at the same time there can be different regional differences between East, Midwest and West ASL... just like how all English speakers have different accents depending on which part of America they came from. So as an result, I was able to understand only like 90% of what he signed but not the other 10%.

[@jessssssgames]

This makes me want to keep studying to learn the full story!

[@tinkerbell0484]

Hey! I LOVE this story, and your expression is really awesome! made me laugh so hard.

[@MsMusicalMarie]

yes it does :) thank you very much. I'm still learning so every little bit helps. I'm about to go to school this spring for ASL so I'm pretty excited about that. I've been watching these types of videos and trying to learn words and expressions here and there

[@Soul_x13x]

You're videos Are Awesome. I don't know much ASL but I want to learn! You're amazing Dack. I love your hair BTW!

[@DackVirnig]

+Emilio Tobias Espinoza (Bimbo) Emilio, you can do it... I tell you, you can do it! And thank you for your kind compliment about my hair :D

[@climbeck]

So glad to see you back! Keep up the amazing work!!! I want to show this to the kids I interpret for... (Maybe I'll stick with Mt. Dew man)

[@ASLInterpreterSHansen]

Thanks for SCARING the B'GEEBERS out of us! Just found your channel...thanks for posting awesome stories!!!

[@lovebunny214]

i am 16 years old and i am hearing, learning ASL and i practice every day and take a class for two years almost three years. i am very skilled at signing. i go to a high school that has a deaf program in it, so i meet lots of deaf people and are friends with them. i want to either teach or interpret signlanguage. i love it. really good and scary story. :)

[@ISeeItAsABlessing]

I'm so happy you're back! Great story :)

[@AuroraMoon2000]

Basically the gist of the story that I was able to understand: A girl was visiting her uncle on a chicken farm, where she learned that chickens could run around with their heads cut off. This creeped her out, but she tried to act normal and ignore it. Her uncle had strict rules, like staying in bed all night no matter what. So when she had nightmares about floating, bloody severed chicken heads she stayed in bed instead of going straight to her uncle (more on my next post due to text limit)

[@monadansby5953]

Tanya Munn idiot story

[@itsJENNY2u]

love the descriptions for the chicken lady. very visual. i can paint a picture in my head ;)

[@kimberkrieve2110]

whoa, i'm an ASL student and got a little out of practice over the summer, this's awesome practice and you are an awesome performer. =P wish i could sign like that. =)

[@AntonioHeckstall]

I see you movie the Hammer. I excited, happy jump all over! Great job

[@deafBettyBoop]

very good expression and beautiful ASL and discreption.

[@AuroraMoon2000]

(part two of my post). But it turned out that those floating heads were real. You see, The uncle's wife was missing but in the chicken coops there was this strong scent of a dead body. But she couldn't find anything. so the next night The ghost of the wife appeared, butt naked and covered in blood. her neck was a bloody stump due to being beheaded, and in place of her head there was a giant chicken head. She went to her uncle for help, He did his best but this chicken lady killed him and her too

[@Colarein]

That ending was GREAT! Spooky story.

[@Lanore37]

[@KrazyDeafy]

Yay very creepy!! Ur always the best asl teller!! =]

[@all4god116]

@ Marie Ruhlin it more like an expression, not a specific word....he made a sign in the shape of a car so in congruency with the story "a car driving down the road....hit something..made a loud sound something to that affect

[@alicialockwood7360]

Oh my word this gave me goosebumps!! very scary :P

[@wonderboyberto]

You are SO cute! And a beautiful signer!

[@traceysalaway]

Excellent storytelling in ASL & VV (Visual Vernacular! Animated and expressive!! I’m curious, do you read Neil Gaiman’s, The Sandman?

[@andriana.canning53]

Good performances!

[@TheLittlemonster32]

I'm 19 and I'm for sure getting nightmares from this story thanks, lol.

[@letmeintoyoursoul]

Loved it!!! This is a vegans worst nightmare but I love the horror😁

[@LarryReuter5]

Now I'm more inspired to learn ASL so I can get the story.

[@xannis7784]

[@neverjanay]

he was in the hammer as an extra. RIT, I guess, asked students to be extras, and I remember he is a RIT/NTID student, or at least was at the time.

[@shariniagara44]

[@Laufield]

WOW! That Great.

[@meadowdelorto9216]

I deaf I like you video. Much scary, funny asl video

[@stephaniesobczak3507]

Hi, my name is Miss Stevie (to my students). I have been working with children with ASD (autism spectrum disorder, who are non-verbal) as well as children who do speak. I have been learning ASL for a few years but I only understood about 40% of what you were saying. You sign so fast! Is there a slow-mo button?! I would love to try to follow what you're saying! Are you a lefty? Or is that just the camera?

[@jaimemarshall818]

Communicating in American Sign Language is a very VERBAL language. I cringe every time I hear the term: non verbal. If you look up the meaning of VERBAL - it is a form of expression. When a child does not communicate in a spoken language, this is non-VOCAL. Big difference. Talking is verbal, speaking is verbal, signing is verbal!

[@stephaniesobczak3507]

@@jaimemarshall818 I wrote that 7 years ago. The trainings I had been in at that time were using that term. Times have changed; terms are more accurate; thank you for your feedback.

[@Wes_Pope]

what was that sign you kept using, it looked like the "u" hand shape coming off of your forehead?

[@honey.mishmish]

Uncle! :)

[@lea-mariehayward2854]

I think I'm in love :D

[@chazcoffelt2498]

[@andrianirinarovadeaf9804]

[@MsMusicalMarie]

could you possibly tell me what the very first word in the video is? I'm still learning

[@brennafreeman5814]

Very first word is a visual representation of a car moving on a bumpy surface.

[@cachemiller634]

I feel like look Scary

[@DackVirnig]

Cache Miller LOL but don't worry it's not real, anyway.. :-D

[@TheLittlemonster32]

Can't really learn just by connecting word for word what was signed, just keep studying and practicing and you will evenutally understand what he signed.

[@Yasin79871]

you good

[@xxpowwowbluexx]

AHAHAHAHA!!! Great story!!

[@ohratsify]

Can someone tell me what the 'hook' hand shapes mean?

[@brennafreeman5814]

Show the time stamp and I’ll explain to you

[@johngeldart]

[@daftcookies]

correction "I saw you on the movie the Hammer." haha. Sorry wasn't paying attention to my typing

[@katiedi3940]

I'm still learning. I just can't get the ending. Help please????

[@brennafreeman5814]

The girl found the uncle’s wife’s dead body in the barn after running from the house. It turned out that the uncle was scared of her “voodoo” tendencies so he killed her. The wife’s soul refused to accept this and did revenge by possessing a chicken’s body. The girl set the barn on fire. And waited outside thinking that she was finally safe. When the possessed chicken suddenly appeared out of nowhere and killed her.
