[@marinamarcus3866]

The near death experience of the soldier that saw the Indian. From many of the stories I have listened to on your channel scary enough... I have been there. I can relate is what is amazing but comforting! This was great to hear that.

Steph I T is good! He’s living pretty normal life nowadays! He’s getting married soon and working a normal 9-5! Hes not in the game anymore. It ended up getting really wild towards the end and everything came crashing down fast! That’s another crazy story in itself!

It's a shame that so many women have to change their routines just because some creep decides to stalk them.

[@pinkcuteval]

It is so horrible, women can never catch a break.

[@janjani4910]

@@luissecondchannelforytmusi7876 Sure. Why don't you make a comment about that somewhere else? I didn't hear one single story in this video about a woman stalking a man, but maybe I didn't pay enough attention. Did you? Or why did you make this comment? Lol.

@@sonofagun5305Cause they are alone, unarmed, probably without any self-defence knowledge. And they're dealing with a complete stranger, he definitely could be armed. Saying something could put them in danger. It's a situation no-one is ready for, and it's extremely frightening. 🙂 Although yes, many of them could say something, specially ask for help from others, but also many of them feel ashamed. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Mr2Thumbs]

@xisobelx373 Can I just point out that a man is much more likely to be the victim of a violent crime than a woman, according to FBI crime data? Sure, we're probably not going to get raped, but we're more likely to be mugged, assaulted, etc. Men do alter their routines to not become the victim of such a crime. For instance, I don't walk alone after dark. If I know that I'll be out at night, I usually park in a well lit area close to where I'll be. Or call an Uber. The point is, don't make yourself an easy target. Just like you wouldn't leave your car unlocked, or your front door open, you don't walk alone at night.

[@kittypowers9942]

I'm so mad about the story with Sgt C. Her chain of command absolutely FAILED her and this is why Vanessa Guillen is dead. Ugh.

[@olivedog1880]

Thank God for people who play along with people in need of help when being followed/stalked/chased.

[@yboy317]

I don't know how to explain it but you have the most perfect voice I've ever heard in my life. I used to listen to Reddit stories that were read aloud by some computer generates voice and it was awful because it would make mistakes all the time and repeat itself and get stuck on Loop, but your voice is just so smooth and relaxing. When your talking about the stories I catch myself looking over my shoulder because I can really imagine what your saying.

[@angelosinski]

Bro was really in the trenches

[@juleslund1515]

oh my yes you are so right. I've always listened to Lazy Masquerade and really only preferred his voice for storytelling but super long nights of no sleep forced me to broaden some things and thank God I found Joel. Love his work.

[@nathangoodwin9530]

Listening to this whilst he was drunk last night was amazing. Happy bday Joel and happy hangover

[@ipsitamazumdar4849]

I love how Nana conspired into dropping people off like flies if they bothered her precious offspring. Even the Italian mafia doesn’t act with the speed & precision she manages to deliver from the other side of the grave...the writer must disclose his identity, so that we don’t end up getting on a wrong foot with his surviving & deceased family ever lol

[@DanielleDMD]

😂😂😂 Took the words right out of my mouth and used them better!

[@briannatizianamarigliano1812]

thats because there is no italian mafia but i definitely dont want to know him

[@shawnbbunbbbybbb3942]

I love the little breath before each story ☺

[@muneyotsuki8164]

Story #2: Okay, but what happened with the twins Story #4: 100% chance there would have been no "dark feeling" if that one guy hadn't said anything about any murders.

[@Thotsftw]

Haha story #2 is mine 😎! I didn’t end of getting laid that night but I did end up dating the woman!

[@zanegreay7157]

I 100% agree about story #4! I live in Wisconsin where is the house I'll live there!

[@shawnbbunbbbybbb3942]

@@Thotsftwr u T or the other guy and I don’t remember anything about the girls being twins

[@shawnbbunbbbybbb3942]

If the house really was haunted then things might have happened even if that guy never told them but since they know about it now there’s definitely a much higher chance of things happening because you’re looking for things to happen. If u look for something hard enough you’ll find it anywhere and everywhere. I like that one social experiment where they took a bunch of pretty women and applied makeup to make them look like they had ugly scars all over their faces and showed them how bad it looked in the mirror and then sent them to job interviews and asked if they were discriminated against because of their appearance. Right b4 they left the makeup artist told them he had to do a last minute touch up but he actually took all the fake scars off and the women went into the interviews as their pretty selves. When they came back they all reported that they felt like they were being discriminated against due to their appearance and one of them even said she felt like the interviewer was directly referencing her scars. This is a perfect example of how if you’re looking to be discriminated against u will 100% feel that u r but whether or not u actually r doesn’t matter in your mind if u have a victim mentality

[@tommiegirl2598]

Okay... that intro gives me so many good vibes! I'm old... Everything about your intro reminds me of the only good part of my childhood... Watching 80's and 90's movies with my brothers and cousins. It just adds to my love for this channel! 🤗💕😗💕🤗

Love your channel. You are the best narrator on the net. I just wish you did more ghost stories. The creeper/stalker/psycho real people stories are too much for me - I just get too freaked out as I listen when in going to bed and I’m more afraid of people than ghosts - or at least differently afraid . Still love the channel I’ve just listened to all your ghost stories and you haven’t done one in 2 months. Regardless hope your channel is doing well for you. Cheers!

[@MJubecki1984]

I get it though. Just looked at views from the last year and the true stories do seem to get more views in general than the ghost stories so it makes sense that you gotta go where the heat is. Love your work. -Joe

"we haven't told anyone this story" *Story written in full on Reddit* 🤨

[@chrismclaughlin3988]

I personally like creepypasta narrations, story narrations, and audio drama type stories. Sound effects that pertain (timing and context). As immersive as possible w\o visuals. Idc if there is really as long as it's not dependent on it for context.
