I used to get nervous about my little sister living alone in Nassau county as a nurse in training. As a protective older brother I asked her if she had pepper spray/pocket knife/ solid door locks & what her plan is if something goes bump in the night… she confidently assured me it’s all covered. When I visited her apartment I personally inspected everything finishing with “what happens if someone breaks in?” (She lived near a train station) she tells me to open the closet where I find a loaded 12 gauge next to a compound bow and as I turn around she’s already pulled another loaded 12 gauge from under her bed with a big smile. Needless to say if there’s an uninvited guest she’ll happily blow their guts out then render aid while LEOs are en route. That said, I don’t worry nearly as much as I used to. Even less now she’s happily living in a new home in a serious relationship with a bear of a man who’s equally enthusiastic about personal defense.

[@Dwarf_wolf]

Your sister sounds like she's got everything figured out if someone breaks in 🤣

[@SChassisSara]

I really appreciate creators who put time stamps. I will fall asleep, it’ll go through the whole video cause I like it while I’m trying to go to sleep and while I sleep so I like to go to the story where I left off at the next couple nights until I listen to it all! I mean, which helps with views too cause I watch the same one many many times. So thank you for always putting time stamps!!

I'm from Tx and the women in the first story is Taylor Rene Parker she is 7th women to be on death row in Tx. It's pretty awful what she did to that poor girl.

[@thehuntressdanni2972]

The baby girl didn't even live either. A mom and daughter never got to live or meet because of that psycho. It's so tragic. I watched the bodycam footage of Taylor at the hospital lying to the police about giving birth and trying to refuse a doctor checking her down there. That woman is a total monster!! And it's so scary how she had planned this for months! That's just sickening.

[@krystlekinder7386]

@@thehuntressdanni2972 Yes she is a vile monster!

[@ReesesBees]

Absolutely vile.

[@emo7636]

And she did it partly because her boyfriend was sick and tired of her antics and was breaking up with her. She gave him so much 'proof' about her 'pregnancy' that a mediocre Dr. probably would've believed her, let alone her poor boyfriend who knew nothing about childbirth and pregnancy. There are creepy immoral websites where you can buy fake positive pregnancy tests and fake baby-bumps to wear, and fake ultrasound pictures. Apparently the boyfriend's mother still didn't really buy her story about suddenly showing up pregnant and she didn't like Taylor to begin with.

[@saraiariella4916]

Texas native here. I knew it had sounded so familiar. I got curious one night and was looking to see who was the youngest person on death row in Texas when I saw her picture. What a shock. She’s only 2 years older than I am (I’m 27 now)

[@celiastarot]

Thank you so much for the BEST tone and inflection on KZbin!!! Geez the other guys sound like freaking robots and they’re monotone style is aggravating asf!!!!

[@danielleviljoen1685]

The story about South Africa - it's true. You're always paranoid and vigilant about your surroundings. And it doesn't go away, I live in a different country now, one where they celebrate with firecrackers. It always sets me off when I hear it, and it was something I had to get used to. All this being said, South Africa is still one of the most beautiful countries in the world. I would move back if I could have what I have now.

[@dinkelpapa]

Joel, I have been listening to your narrations for years now, every single night before sleep, I put one of your videos on. I'm at the point now that I probably can't even sleep without them anymore. Luckily I'll never have to find out if that's true ❤

If I were being stalked by a black pickup that time of night I’d immediately take a pic of the license plate and tell them I just sent it to the police while actually doing so!

[@SNixon14]

The first story, unfortunately situations like in this story happens way more than anyone would think which is just crazy. I have heard of a story like this one though it was a pregnant woman looking for baby clothes through Craigslist. She went to the seller's house and the lady who claimed to have baby clothes that they wanted to sell stabbed her and the victim's baby unfortunately didn't survive either. It's really, really sad. But one place you should not go to buy things or even sell things through is definitely Craigslist. There have been a lot of horrible things that have happened to people because they used that site. Craigslist needs to be removed.

[@thehuntressdanni2972]

Then there's the girl who lived in an apartment building and her neighbour invited her to hangout or try on clothes or something (The excuse for the invite was really strange) and she took her unborn baby from her! It was so heartbreaking. They all are! I'm a woman and I couldn't imagine stealing someone's baby! That's just disturbing!

[@djpempek]

Thank you Joel.

[@josiegipson90]

Story 1 happens more than you think. I remember back when I had my first child in 2002 a young mother and her 4 yr old were murdered not far from where I lived inside their home. All so the guy and his much older girlfriend could kidnap the newborn. They killed the 4 yr old because she was a witness. It all happened while the dad to the little family was at work. They actually stabbed the little girl thru the top of her head. The guy was a member of a large well known local family, I went to school with the family, not him tho. My mother went to school with the family. Super well known business owners. Multi generational. They met this lady at our neighborhood WIC clinic. I actually went there a few times but decided it wasn't worth all the trouble and once my son was born I breastfed so I didnt need any help. But it just rocked me. I was 19. This was so close to home. Practically at my front door. It could've been me. For a long time it was recommended here not to make friends at the WIC clinic, the obs office, anywhere if you were pregnant. Then a fews later pregnant moms started being victimized by ads for baby things on craigslist. So many died that way too. Pregnant and postpartum women are our most vulnerable.

[@vnokesCO]

It also happened a few years ago to a pregnant lady in Longmont CO, a town about 20 miles north of me. She was strangled & stabbed repeatedly, then cut open to get the baby out. The killer pretended to be pregnant & posted a Craigslist ad for free baby clothes, which the real pregnant woman answered. We were all shocked when we heard. ETA I just looked up the story & the woman did survive, but sadly her baby girl did not.

[@saraw5942]

I know you were in fear, but look, do not think about this any longer, so as not to get anxious like I did over things like that. I stayed awake 5 solid days after my son was born, because many children around us, were dying of SIDS. I was terrified. Now 40 some years later, I still cannot sleep. (((HUGS)))

[@lucasbroome1048]

I was born in 2002

[@PrimateProductions]

​​@@vnokesCOyes...that was a very sad case. It sucked too because the killer did not get charged with murder because the mother survived and the law did not see the baby as viable.

[@PrimateProductions]

No, it could not "have been you", trust me.😏 Also no, it does not happen more often than we think. It is called fetal abduction and it is actually considered to be extremely rare. Out of the millions of births in the US there have only been 19 cases of it since 1983...19 out of millions makes it extremely rare. I do not understand why some people come into the comment section here and find it necessary to blatantly lie like you have done here...to make up a whole story and feign fear that it "could have been me" just screams I have some serious issues and am begging for attention!! After seeing your numerous other comments on videos on this channel I suspect that many of your experiences and "stories" are made up in your head! I would definitely find it difficult to believe anything you say here after all the details and such that you made up in your little story! Out of all of the 19 fetal abductions that took place in the US there were none that occurred in 2002. There were also no cases where a 4 year old child was "stabbed through the top of their head" because they were a witness during such a case. And no, you cannot claim it did not happen in the US because the US is the only place where they have a WIC program! Maybe you were just mistaken and had actually misremembered the year you had your first child? Lol Naw, cause there is still the issue with the 4 year old getting stabbed through the top of their head that never happened! So ridiculous. I hope you are embarrassed for lying so blatantly. Maybe seek some help, seriously!

Omg I think the story of the pregnant lady is the case of Taylor Parker!! One of my favorite true crime YBers did a video on her. She was fckn insane!! The whole story had me in tears 😢 The KZbinr is Stephanie Soo (channel name - Rotten Mango) and the video is named something like “Liar photographer takes pictures at friends wedding then cuts baby out of her stomach”.

Got to agree with the folks below..indeed you're one of my all time favourite narrators on KZbin for sure 👍I don't know whether it's because I'm English & we tend to not talk really fast ( ten to the dozen we say) I get frustrated with some American channels because they either mumble ( mid West ) or talk so fas t even the subtitles can't keep up.or they SHOUT!! Notice that with so many young US girls on here I turn off after 30 seconds..Yourself Mr Lets Read & wonderful Lazy Masquerade are my favourites. .I'm 56 been in hospital for 11months after nearly departing this mortal coil to Covid caught in the warx!) so appreciate your style & I call asleep to you most nights in my hospital bed 🌈 ❤

SOMETHING ALMOST 1:1 HAPPENED IN A SMALL DOWN IN MISSOURI THAT I KNOW ABOUT i actually had a relative in the town when it happened. it was insane. the town was Skidmore, Missouri. same town with the murder of the town bully. and whats even crazier is my relative may have been a witness to that famous murder. he was in the town at the time, had a STRONG connection to EVERYONE there (the sheriff, who WAS a witness, confirmed, was a pallbearer at his funeral). my family is insane and i have many other stories about them, since most are travelers who have their fair share of weirdness, as do i.

Hey, delete this comment if it's not allowed, but was wondering if I can submit a fictional short story that I've been writing (almost done with) to you on your website? I know you read mostly true stories and I enjoy listening to them all (been listening to your channel for 5 years), but this horror story I'm writing - I just imagine you narrating it. I think it would sound awesome and more chilling if you were to read it. Just being curious, is all. Keep up the good work ! :)
