Sasantine I think that all the time!!!

[@taylerrenee9710]

They send their stories to his sub reddit so im sure they listen to hear their stories plus he links their stories in his description so they get a notification when he reads their stories. Also you need the writers permission to share their stories on your channel!

[@taylerrenee9710]

I only know that because I have reddit and read their privacy terms and they tell you if you want to share a persons story you need their permission and need to credit them where due

[@ashleyw7868]

I feel sorry for the Great Dane. If he was white with blue eyes he was likely deaf and blind and panicked when he couldn’t get his owner to get up. Dogs do the most damage after the death of an owner by biting (usually on the face when they can’t hear the person breathing) progressively harder trying to rouse the person, they then resort to trying to drag a person as they begin to panic that their person isn’t responding, and if they are starving they will begin to eat soft fleshy pieces. I knew a German Shepherd who was adopted by a family friend that was stuck with the body of his deceased owner prior to being adopted. Sweet dog without a mean bone in his body. He was just trying to survive.

[@lucaspantman2143]

maybe you should feel bad for the person

[@GalinaEv]

​@lucaspantman2143 why? He is dead already

[@RoseBud76]

Of course the dog would do that. It is survival instinct of the dog. Depending on how the person died. I feel sorry for both the human and the dog.

[@shannonbailey6471]

Is it a legitimate thing to have a panic attack and know what it is at the age of 2? I'm probably gonna get loads of angry comments but who even remembers when they're two? I'm not sure I buy it

[@superjavi9313]

I had a panic attack when I was 4 months old... don't make fun of this, it's a real thing.

[@shannonbailey6471]

@@superjavi9313 Nowhere in my comment am I making a joke out of it? I believe that babies cry and get stressed and I know someone who legitimately used to hold their breath as a baby until they passed out. Wouldn't call it a panic attack though and also wouldn't call it something out of the ordinary. It's so common for babies to cry for hours etc. that if you claimed they were all panic attacks, I'm sure the whole world's population had a 'panic attack' by the time they were one.

that poor dog left alone for so long with his decomposing human companion hurt my heart :(( why tf didn’t police call animal control and have him picked up, or even the mans family??? never heard of law enforcement just leaving a cat/dog in the home with a dead body like that before. cruel.

[@kevinsundelin8639]

How do we know that they knew it was there? The 'cleanup crew' barely noticed it until it made noise so it's not impossible that the police didn't notice the dog.

[@HuugeEminemFan]

Kevin Sundelin true i guess! wouldn’t the police have looked around the room a bit for signs possibly indicating struggle or foul play though? idk just seems improbable to me, but hey weirder things have happened.

[@brianartillery]

The story about the Scottish railway seems more like a 'timeslip' than anything else, to me. Interesting, though.

[@bioshockbrat9171]

Glitch in the matrix? This sounds like the St. Louis light in Canada, involving a train and all.

[@brianartillery]

'Glitch In The Matrix'. That's a modern term for it. I prefer 'Timeslip' myself. As if your passage through time was like the stylus on a record deck, and maybe once, you 'skip' to a previous or subsequent groove. There are also interstices in space/time, which have been referred to as The gaps between 'Now' and 'Now'. And 'Now' is an odd concept; as soon as you say, or write it, it becomes 'Then'.

I used to have a next door neighbor with 3 dogs. Unbeknownst to us, he had been dead in his house for several weeks. Once his dogs got hungry, they began to eat his body. The day before he was discovered, I wanted to go over and ask him to help my husband move some things. He would make pocket money by helping neighbors with various tasks. Thankfully my husband talked me out of it.

Somewhat contradictory to say ‘John’ is a primary psychopath and also secondary/ASPD as that aligns with sociopathy and the two are very different. Primary psychopathy usually benefits business types and secondary psychopathy normally results in incarceration and or death

First story is why you *always* trust your female friends (and/or gut) when they tell you something's up with the "weird but harmless" guy in your social group. Sure, plenty of weird guys are harmless, but never brush off the warnings about the ones that aren't.

Couple of years back a train called the flying Scotsman visited my local tracks, could afford a ticket but really wanted to see it so after sneaking through a crap tonne of brush to get to the tracks I got to see that famous speedy boi late at night after last service and the cold air it brought with it was insane. I mean granted it was going a bit quicker than most of the other steam trains but it might just be science or something seeing as the front of the train is incredibly hot, I'm no scientist but really hot fast train going through already cold air might do something lol. Enjoyed the story but by the sounds of it you just saw a train probably on a test run after a long day of tinkering. (British guy who lives 5 minutes away from a "heritage railway" btw, you cant help but live here and learn something about trains)
