Thank you for all the work you do! Your channel has been one of my favorite for years! You truly are a gem, sir.

[@Randomguy-le9qm]

Thanks mate proper good content from you proper good to lower your stress

[@mollie1927]

my heart always drops when he says "...the last time they were seen alive". I'm always hoping for a good ending, but when it says that I know it's not gonna happen. Was holding my breath the whole time he was talking about Anne. Glad she and her dog came out ok! Was a nice change.

[@catsarerude]

[@feilefey9531]

In the story of Ann Rodgers I just cannot believe the reaction of her daughter at first?? If your elderly mother doesn't turn up by the evening, you call and make sure she's okay! Not sulk for days because you think she missed your kid's birthday! smh

[@melissamoonchild9216]

seriously jesus

[@ImaKhunt007]

Yep, that was my thought too.

[@patsywhitten4739]

Story probably fake

[@karenroot450]

But in the story it stated Ann Rodgers didn’t let anyone know that she was coming as she wanted it to be a surprise. I read your comment again and I think you meant if Ann did not show or call on the grandkids birthday the daughter should have called immediately to find out if she was ok. I got your train of thought. I would have called my mother that same day!

You have to live in the desert to fully appreciate how frightening a full blown sand storm coming at you looks.

It made me think of the dust bowl and the great depression. I've experienced a few where I live and they are something to behold. It looks like they move so slow and before you know it, it's everywhere. You can look right at the sun and the sand that gets in your mouth and lungs is awful!! Seems like the one's I've experienced have always been followed by a good rain

[@bethmoore7722]

And you are in trouble if you have no shelter.

Ann also had her cat with her, who also survived. Super awesome story.

[@3emeraldangel]

That last story not only made my skin crawl but had me laughing too! I used to wear these baggy jeans in middleschool, and felt a crawling sensation when I was sitting at my home computer. When I realized it wasn't the jeans I shook them out, a damn scorpion fell out, by the grace of God it didn't sting me. I swear I never jumped so high in my life! My mom found me on top of the coffee table screaming my head off! Remembering those needle like legs crawling on my skin still make me shudder!!! 😱

Omg where were you at when the scorpion crawled in? That would freak me out so bad. Thankful it didn't bite you.😊

I experienced a sandstorm while living in Saudi Arabia. You can't run away from it! We sheltered in an abandoned petrol station, hiding behind counters away from the windows that shattered. After the storm passed and we returned to our vehicles the sides facing the storm were sand-blasted down to the bare metal! A terrifying experience!

I was trekking around in the desert for absolutely no reason by myself in the middle of the night. It was really dark. I felt like someone was watching me. Then…I heard movement like a twig snapping. in the middle of nowhere. It was even more dark. It was so scary. I froze for 40 minutes. I finally got up the nerve to turn on my flash light and pointed at the direction of the movement. It was a gigantic pork sword.
