Kidnapped & Catfish Stalkers | 10 True Scary Horror Stories From Reddit (Vol. 19)

[@merel6017]

Does anyone else listen these scary stories while trying to fall asleep or am I just weird?

[@lindseymarieshortshittribe4101]

Merel, I love watching these at night

[@skyfly9301]

A lot of people do. We got a podcast called the "creepypod" here in Sweden. Alot of people love to listen to it when they are going to sleep. I can't tho cause if i fall asleep I'll just miss everything xD

[@FloridaMan0561]

You may be weird but plenty of us fall asleep to these stories.

[@Sinistertims666]

Merel every night!

[@DJ_LilPaycheck]

I always use this to fall asleep

[@yellowmellow9339]

Man i hope that woman's "husband" is now her ex.

[@MsMiscellaneous]

Jasmin Ferrante right! Who’s he to not believe her? He probably set her ass up.

[@oliviabehrle4722]

I found the story on reddit. She said the marriage only lasted a year after the incident. Thank god.

[@Ixlikexturnips]

omg yes, i came to the comments to say this. How awful.

[@KubiqFeet]

@@oliviabehrle4722 anyway you can link that reddit post here or name of the post? I'm interested in reading it. I looked up ranger cab in colombus and they have 1 star rating.

[@theelusiverainbow]

@@KubiqFeet, the link to the post is in the description.

[@MsAquamonkey]

Sorry, but the woman's husband in the first story is stupid. Not arranging transport for his wife, knowing she'd be all on her own, on the streets at two in the morning, then dismissing her terrifying story? Wow...

[@indirects868]

MsAquamonkey I hope she’s not with him anymore because he’s an idiot

[@rowenachang2302]

@@veronicastigger7947 yeah, im amazed she didn't have her phone on 100% battery or bring a powerbank. Or this could be fake

[@diliaacosta5206]

Fr to me the worst part is that she stayed with him that's a HELL NAH from me haha

[@jostockton.]

My husband would have to work to earn the trust I lost in him if he told me I was lying about almost getting kidnapped. What is wrong with all these boyfriends and husbands who'd rather call their women crazy, liars, or defend the creep than believe them?

[@marshmallowmountains4636]

Victim blaming happens a lot. Sure does suck...

[@sparrowcunningham7637]

To begin with, it's very likely that a lot of these stories are made up anyway. On top of that you don't know(even if this did happen to her) if the person has a history of lying for attention. I know some pathological liars that have married and their spouses are so used to these crazy lies that they get used to brushing it all off. Then there's also the option that the dude married her solely for benefits and isn't really concerned about that kinda thing.

[@gardenrose1038]

First one it sounded like they were drug addicted due to the track marks on her. If they were I totally believe the fact that he stopped for a shower. People whoever have a close relationship with a drug addict would understand how odd the things they do.

[@wtrzs]

The Exposer are u on crack or something? i mean .... seriously ?

[@wtrzs]

The Exposer ok so now u see why i asked, yeah ?

[@Lunakinesis]

Lmao that first husband would've been my 'ex' so fast. If my partner turned up at my place/my work looking dishevelled and terrified, damn right I'd believe them. I can't even imagine being so dismissive of another person's fear and trauma, especially not someone I was MARRIED too.

[@bisersable8247]

I don't understand why wouldn't the first girl's husband believe her? It is always weird to me when people don't believe something like that. What are they saying: You're lying? You're making it up? I just don't get it!

[@C1nderfire]

Biser Sable they may be young like late teens. Or have a really immature relationship.

[@bdsaints1986]

He couldn't believe she was so stupid😂

[@sparrowcunningham7637]

who knows? maybe she has a history of making things up? Honestly the way it the story is, it IS kinda hard to believe, especially in the way she ended up getting away because the guy wanted to stop for a shower.

[@Ronin____5000]

Maybe the story is bullshit.

[@mariselafran2449]

Most people rather deny something horrendous happened, than consider the consequences of what the situation entailed or could have ended. I know people doubt the story or reasoning of the creeper...but when you stay out past your bed time and alone you meet a lot of people you hadn't thought could ever exist... people you sort of wish, didn't.

[@ScarfaceSallie]

Anyone else like listening to these at night? Lol

[@h00pladeeznuts81]

[@anonymizzle]

I don't get how people don't believe a family member when they tell them something happened to them. If I was that first girl I would divorce my husband for not believing me. How can you be married to someone who doesn't believe you. There's no trust in that relationship.

[@CVNTTruck]

anonymizzle agree

[@shawnbbunbbbybbb3942]

That’s what I was thinking I was like how tf could u not believe your own wife y would she make something like that up. I would rather do everything I can to try and find this guy and look like a fool if I find out she lied than not believe her. Idk how she could stay married to a guy that doesn’t believe her that shows that he doesn’t trust her.

[@janecaspers4489]

It does seem strange her husband didn’t believe her. Would not be surprised if the are now divorced.

[@NearSpace04]

They apparently divorced a year later. Military marriages don't typically last long.

[@connorb.7882]

It boggles my mind how someone's husband can look them in the eye after they explain a horrible ordeal to him and say that he doesn't believe them. I hope he believes her now, and if he doesn't, I hope that's her ex.

Her husband booked the Greyhound bus ticket so he knew it would be arriving at 2am and his wife would be stuck without a ride. He's lucky she wasn't trafficked or killed.

[@Sara-qr1xb]

During the first story when the woman said he was going to take a shower and, that girl was cute and they were going to have fun. I already knew where it was going. Glad she got out of there, but it's bad that the dude didn't get busted. Who knows how many girls fell victim to his ranger cab...

I listen to this channel every night since October 1st so im a new subbie but i can truthfully say i cant go to bed without hearing his voice, it soothes .I sometimes even let it pay while im sleeping lol i know im not the only one thooo so be honest.

[@Stardust_7273]

1st story- that chick needs a new husband who believes her when a guy kidnaps her with various plans, and support her. They were gonna traffic her ffs.

The face paint guy is pretty tame considering he could be asking for worse stuff. He's just a weirdo shooting his shot.

[@liddybug8311]

I don't think Paul from number 6 was in any danger. Sounds like a mentally disabled woman and her caregiver enjoying a day in the park. The caregiver should have stepped in sooner but maybe they were working on appropriate social skills so she waited and stepped in when she realized it wasn't going well.

Louise Phillips yes that sucks but that doesn’t mean she should just let other people go through what she went through or possibly worse things than she went through, does it?

[@yellowmellow9339]

@@kayla308 Its incredibly unlikely for the police to be able to do anything. Also, Not everyone processes things the same. Trauma does things to people and sometimes the fear is too much to reach out for help. I wasnt going to tell on my abuser because of fear. The only reason i did was because i had a strong support system. This woman clearly didnt. When i did come out to the police, they didnt do anything. Hate to break it to you, but most things like that get dismissed.

[@kayla308]

Jasmin Ferrante I’ve been through my own traumas as well as lots of people have and there still isn’t a justification for a grown woman to set someone else up to have horrible things done to them if it was bad enough for her to write her story so that others could read it she could have reported it anonymously at the very least and left it at that. There are lots of sick people out there who could have been stopped if people reported their behavior.

[@angeljar2012]

The story where the boy thought he was almost kidnapped was not likely that they wanted to kidnap him because the sister was pulling her sister away and if she wanted to kidnap him, the sister wouldn't have pulled her away saying no you can't have the leash.

Story *no* *3* from ~16:20 to ~19:59 (= ~20:00 ): About the girl not knowing, how another guy from her bus had found her that easily on Facebook shortly later on... Girl please look, if your basic Facebook settings are generally set to... 1) "private" ...or to... 2) "open/official/visible for everybody/whatever other similar term in English*. * I'm just a random native German speaker and I only know these basic settings of Facebook accounts, there's much more to that topic though. Girl, you might've had an easily recognisable username and/or profile picture, (& maybe some other pictures directly on your own FB page, which weren't hard to find at all); I'm almost certain there's an easy explanation to that! However, today most people are completely unaware, lots of their basic cellphone settings were already pre- installed before they've bought their phones from their favourite stores. Not only should the basic FB settings be pre-installed exactly the other way around to "PRIVATE" - to give the inexperienced new Facebook user enough TIME to (probably recover from/after any traumatic occurrence or just to sober up to) and finally DECIDE, whether or not to install their own settings to open/official/visible to the public... - There're other relatively dangerous pre-installed basic settings on your cell phones/ smartphones/iphones as well: E.g. Unrelated to Facebook, did you know, you're signing and giving your own organs away (in case of a medical emergency), bc that's exactly, how your basic settings on each smartphone/iphone were already pre-installed since you've bought them? Look it up inside your own so called "health app" (on your own iphone), or inside your Samsung app/Galaxy app (or whatever name your smartphone is having), as that's the name, where they've hidden their health apps sho successfully. Why even hiding them, if that's such a transparent topic; if I may ask? - Well, bc it isn't, in fact it's a highly controversial topic. That's their whole reason. Or do you really trust any random doctor, who might've been treating you, after being found in a ditch on the side of the road after a hit and run, to be accidentally educated enough of being able, to rightfully and medically correctly declare you as "braidead", while you've on vacation with your bike in the middle of nowhere?!^^ Anyways, the girl and everybody else reading this, should take a deeper look into all the basic settings of their smartphones, but also their own, self downloaded/installed social media apps on their own phones. We're having no idea, what all could be hidden in social media apps like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & co and don't forget the dating sites you're using, please all stay safe!^^ 👋 from 🇦🇹|

Uhhh So since your husband's a total asshole & doesn't believe you, that means you shouldn't bother reporting that you were actually KIDNAPPED... in turn, leaving other females to encounter the guy?!?! It's hard to believe that story's true because 1- Why wouldn't a husband believe his totally freaked out wife when she says she just escaped a kidnapper? 2- How could she be so stupid, selfish, and have such low self esteem that she wouldn't call police, especially having all the info she did??
