That last one reaaaaaally upsets me. So many instances to speak up, he was afraid so obviously he knew something was wrong. So many kids that could have been saved. :(

[@justsage4521]

Story #5, i think "playing along" was the smartest thing to do while alone with this stranger in the woods...he wasn't "on guard" because u didnt display disgust, etc....allowing u to essentially 'drive' the rest of the scenario...luckily, it all worked out! Im curious how long ago this was...i get so upset that often these creepers dont get caught.

[@Gizmex]

it makes me so sad she was acting like it was her fault she was in that situation

[@justsage4521]

@@Gizmex , unfortunately, when we are victimized, we often feel some sort of responsibility...i agree, it is sad; However, feeling a bit of responsibility could then be a teaching moment to hopefully protect us in the future...She was SO fortunate, and hopefully has never had to deal with anything like this again.

Story #1: A guy wants to cut your grass for you and that's a problem?

[@beatriceborella6056]

Not if he isn't a suspected killer- oh wait. xD (no but seriously, to have a neighbor who offers to cut your lawn is one thing, but the guy just straight up imposed himself)

[@hankkirby5386]

Actually listen to the story before you start being annoying, he was actively threatening them, sometimes with a shotgun

[@SnowyWolborg]

A guy who thinks he can tell you, the homeowner that you're not permitted on your own lawn, invades your privacy and kicks down your door? And they shouldn't have a problem?

[@ashleydailey7844]

WHEN YOU DID THE ACCENT IT MADE ME MELT ITS SO CUTE

[@Emmiiii267]

I just feel like venting this out there so sorry this is random yall can ignore this. But I just feel so freaking paranoid and heartbroken after hearing the case of the Colorado man killing his pregnant wife and two children who were barely 3 and 4 years old. It makes my skin crawl to think that you cant even trust your own family . You can be living with someone and not even know who they really are. Ive been hearing more and more cases of parents killing their children or children killing their parents or their sibling killing other siblings and makes me so freaking sad and paranoid :( how can we ever trust anyone. Im gonna end up living alone and dying alone at this point

[@ThisAlphaWolf]

emilyy em vazquez Goh My husband worked with a guy 2-3 years ago that I warned him was going to snap one day. The more he told me about this guy, the more I told him to be really cautious when joking with him. He was a pretty quiet guy but it was pretty evident when he was starting to get agitated. One day my husband came home from work early. I thought he got fired at first because he was pretty shook up when he came in the door. Turns out his coworker finally snapped. Before work, this dude went to a couple of stores to get some stuff. He went to the grocery store and the hardware store. He had bought some sandwiches and an ice pick, then went home and stabbed his pregnant wife to death with the ice pick. He then called the police and waited for them to arrive. When they did, he went without resisting. He claimed in court that he didn't know why he killed his wife and I really believe he doesn't know because he lost touch with reality for a bit. He's now serving a life sentence in Boise, Id. Although I feel terrible for the family, my husband also knew his wife because they'd worked together somewhere else and carpooled, I can't help but to be thankful that he didn't snap at work since he worked with my husband every day. Good thing he stopped joking around with him, you never know what will set people off when they're already on the edge. I don't know that I would let these things make you paranoid to be around people. Just be cautious. There is usually a subtle cue in a person's demeanor or body language that will tell when they're about to attempt something. If it's a demeanor cue, distance yourself from them. Don't let fear win. His name is Jeremy Swanson if anyone wants to validate the story.

[@caitlinveal5709]

I read about it before I realized it was in Colorado. I live here. It's a mind blowing story. Made me feel sick too. 😔

[@richarddb1856]

Yeah i read about that Jeremy Swanson thing. That is absolutely terrible. But i agree, there is usually hints when something like this could happen. They are subtle, most of the time. but they are indeed there.

[@ThisAlphaWolf]

Richard Bowers I talked to him on the phone a couple of times because my husband told him what kind for music that I listened to and he wanted to ask me about a couple of the bands. From what I know of him, he was an awkward, goofy, quiet kid. It was when he started to become sullen when the guys would joke around with each other that I told my husband to lay off of him, because his reaction to it worried me. It was normal guy joking around stuff and he took it way too personally. He would say things like "Why do you guys always mess with ME" and that was the cue that did it for me. My husband doesn't pick up on social cues as well and he trusts my instincts so he did just that and less than a month later, they were hauling him off to jail for murdering his wife and unborn child. I feel bad in a way, because I distinctly felt that he was a ticking time bomb and I can't help but wonder if there was something more that we could have done to prevent this. I don't know what it would have been, but that doesn't make the feeling go away. It's just sad. I don't know why some people snap on their spouses instead of just getting counseling or a divorce, if they're unhappy. I don't know that he was unhappy, but from what my husband tells me about comments that Jeremy had made at work, it kinda sounds like that way. I guess it's true that hindsight is always 20/20 and nothing can be done to correct it now, but I still feel bad for both families and wish we could have done something to help.

[@virenswife]

Alpha Wolf And why didn't your husband say anything to anyone? That could have been prevented. That was basically a cry for help and neither of you said anything to anyone. Too many of these "I never saw any signs" tragedies out there today. Wonder how many of those situations are like this one. Nobody wants to "get involved" these days. If you see something, say something, you could potentially save one life or many lives. Sad.

[@luckydal2059]

This is the only horror story channel I can listen to while falling asleep. You have subtle background music and don’t have the annoying (and loud) sound effects. Keep it up!

I want to buy that abandoned house in Ireland. I listened to every single minute and it's after two in the morning. Thank you for narrating these stories. The creep in the park was pretty weird, but I loved the guy that decided hitting on a half unconscious woman lol. These stories were all very interesting. Great job on the selection. Xoxoxo I'll see you in the comments, darling.

[@lashercollette88]

Story #8: that British accent is on point lol.

[@tekbarrier]

In that last story, he said he was seven years old when they lived in an apartment near the creepy guy, then some years later he's around third grade? So you're seven...then years later...you're about eight?

[@RandomNoodles7774]

Right. That story was obviously fake.

[@haleythelionheart]

Yeah I just couldn’t believe that story at all. I also didn’t buy that the man would remember the kid he saw at a park once after three years. Or that the man kept showing up in life randomly after years of being absent

[@tempjones3155]

I hope it was fake tbh bc I felt really bad for the little boy he said he saw with the man :/

[@dahliacheung6020]

Story 12 made me so sad. It's ridiculous how often people for some reason decline to follow the "see something; say something" rule. That man could be in jail or a psychiatric facility where not only would be no longer be able to hurt someone else; he'd no longer be homeless. And saying something likely would have prevented that poor kid from getting disappeared.

[@kendrahornedeagle9459]

Inspector Gadget...go go gadget arms!...lol

[@gibbygibson4752]

Story #1: Johnny was most likely the name of his abusive father, and he is Thomas. Due to the trauma of his abusive upbringing and the death of his sister, he developed multiple personalities. Quotes like “eat your food Thomas I’ve been cooking all day!” Can be used to further prove this theory. However, another possibility is that Thomas was in fact his brother, and that personality took on the roll of one of his defense mechanisms. This is just a theory I thought of when I head this!

[@coffin_king_1897]

I listen to your videos with my headphonesin at work, it definitely makes the day go by a whole lot better and faster! Thanks for the great content keep it up👍

[@Gizmex]

the trail story made me really sad. "how did i get myself into this? god im so stupid" she did nothing wrong??? she was minding her own damn business and this fucker came up trying to be sketchy. people need to stop teaching women that rape is always their fault.

[@deshaefromarounthawayricha7324]

[@Ky-mb9rl]

That last story is fucking frustrating. I mean, you could've witnessed multiple children being terrorized and possibly getting their lives at stake but you what? coward in the safety of thin walls? DUDE! Even speaking up can help people in danger. True or not, that shits messed up.

[@benedicamusdomino8546]

It bothers me to the core that he never reported the Creep, never reported what looked like a kidnapped boy or any of the time he caught he stalking... You have to be a horrible human being if you never try to help or at least speak up.

[@andrewbatts7678]

it used to be that 11 or 12 was too old to trick or treat, now you see high schoolers getting stoned and trick or treating. i asked 2 of them where their bags are at, one replied "WE SMOKED EM!!"

[@annr.99]

I can relate to the guy in the last story simply because you want to be furthest away from someone like that in every way possible. We as an individual can never be too sure how'd we react in certain situations. As per usual awesome narration +L.R.

[@shazzleonice2703]

That accent 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@atlfalcons4life479]

Sylvester Stallone, a.k.a. “Stabone” à la ‘Rambo last blood’ as a Tumbnail!? Savage!

Last dude - you should report it. That boy could be missing, his family heartbroken and your information might be able to help find him, alive or not.
