Stranded In My Car | 7 True Scary Horror Stories From Reddit (Vol. 78)

[@taylormccann2730]

I really Love your vids❤️ they always help me when I’m feeling anxious or down, your voice is very soothing❤️

[@gcantu0]

Same! 😊

[@kittypat3759]

I too feel alot better when hearing your voice from your videos, I suffer from PTSD and anxiety so thanks for all the times you put my mind at ease with your scary stories.

[@nimobashi4767]

Hey in I

[@jenilee8703]

Yeah, the only thing is some of these stories if you fall asleep to ; can give you some scary ass dreams lol.

[@taylormccann2730]

Lil' Goot me too lol I’ve had crazyy dreams

[@Comrade911]

"Mam, I found this under the hood of your car" "Interesting, it must have been there stuck somewhere for who knows how long" "It's a knife and it was on the top just sitting here" "Oh okay just take it or whatever" "Mam it was probably left here by the guy that just left in a hurry" "Oh how unfortunate, it's a good and sharp one too, that guy will probably miss it very much" "Mam..." "Yes?" "Nevermind..."

[@vonzee1245]

The lady in the first story 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ lack of awareness!

[@FireDaemon13]

I physically cringed at how dumb she was. Like GURL!!!! wake up and get some sense. 😣

[@brooklynnbailey4356]

Forreeeaaal... it was driving me crazy how she was just so fucking oblivious

[@marlynfermin8676]

@@FireDaemon13 Same and I can't believe she had kids relying on her for safety when she was this incredibly stupid. I just couldn't understand it.

[@brx926]

A new video already. This guy is a legend

[@christiansanchez6949]

Yuup time to sleep scared

[@Sirshackleton]

What I can’t believe is that all the people that worked in the doctor’s office actually left this young mother and her babies alone in an isolated parking lot waiting for someone to show up get her car started.

[@victoriathesuspense]

One night I was walking through a dark street. I spotted a girl ahead of me and upon seeing me she began to quicken her pace. I turned around hesitantly, scared someone was following us, so I too quickened my pace. She began running faster and faster and I followed her lead. She screamed and I yelled. I dont know why we fled but God it was one of the most terrifying nights of my life

[@herlindaf8502]

Bshahaha

[@softmoonangel]

she was running from you

[@rainigalhonda3801]

😂

[@racerx009]

All we wanted to do was asked to borrow you're cellphone(s). 😉

[@Ariztotel]

Maybe it's one of those pranks?? and they didn't get to tell you because you were long gone lol

[@orangewarm1]

Is it just me or is the woman in the first story really dim?

[@la214la]

Not just you at all! She’s an idiot!! I don’t understand how SHE didn’t understand that the guy who originally was helping her was clearly going to kill her. The real mechanic had to literally spell it out for her!

[@luckystar3641]

@@la214la They do admit at the end that they were distracted by the kids, plus the hot day and they wanted to get it over with so they really didn't question it too much. Also, I guess most people wouldn't expect some people would be driving around looking for people with broke down cars and pretend to be the repair person. I might be a bit dim myself, because it took me awhile just to think of that explaination of how the guy knew she had called for a repairman, and had a few things prepared to kind of look like one

[@uacmarine19]

georgiaridgerunner 79 remember, the dr office was in Macon. The lady lived an hour and a half away from there.

[@Acetyl53]

I had just scrolled down to say this.

[@la214la]

@@luckystar3641 I hear you, but when he showed her the knife thing or whatever, and she was like, "Oh, who put that in my car? It must have been there for years," I just rolled my eyes. Her stupidity was just off the chain, IMO. LOL!

[@senorsavage8702]

The lady in the first story is really dense

[@liastorm795]

Dumber than a bag of rocks😂😂😂

[@randic9688]

I was slapping my forehead the whole time.

[@racerx009]

Story 1: that surgical device like thing was actually a new mechanical tool killers use to fix engines and their...owners. 😳😏

[@imsquiddly6836]

Everyone’s on about how unaware the lady in the first story was but no one is talking about the phrase, “act of wild monkey love.”

[@Sabzie.malone]

Best phrase of 2021

[@cagenason8028]

If I suspected an individual of killing my cat, I would be the one whose creepy and dangerous, and the story would end with me getting away with it

[@beckya580]

Yes! It wouldn’t be pretty what I would do.

[@stephaniebaker6001]

If anyone hurt my cat, I'd kill them with my bare hands.

[@akamekills8662]

Exactly. I would be every nightmare that man ever had

[@UKnowMeIMURDaddy]

A good story has a dead cat in it

[@TheUsedRomance25]

Even just the fact that first he threw a rock at my dog.... HELL NO. I’d do more than curse at him

[@kyakatz7855]

Yeah, the lady in the first story took awhile to catch on, but I get that she was distracted by her kids and exhausted. What bothers me is how the cop couldn’t care less about it. And the one about the creepy neighbor- people, PLEASE keep your cats indoors.

[@whatishappening2797]

Dude I've had problems sleeping lately, some mental issues with a lot going on right now but having your videos on and waking up in the middle of the night with you still just reading a story makes me feel so comforted thanks man. Helps fall back asleep easier as well

[@oreolover9321]

Lord the first woman God bless your heart!!! I'm really happy that nothing bad happen but good lord she was dumb even the guy had to spell it out for her she needs to be more self aware especially since she has kids there danger everywhere

[@brooklynnbailey4356]

Exactly what I said! Even with the actual mechanic I wouldn't have been so automatically trusting, especially not being alone with nobody but my young children around!

[@oreolover9321]

@@brooklynnbailey4356 lol exactly I was surprised she got out of her car as soon as the first guy left I would have been paranoid calling 911

[@boyinthesarcophagus]

Clearly, that lady in the first story is a bit clueless and seemed rather rude to the dude who was actually helping her.

[@TFrills]

yeah she was prettymuch ret@rd3d and probably shouldn't have kids.

[@Sanae95]

She's so dense

[@guymiyo2750]

That lady should hv paid the other guy a tip for saving her and her children’s life

[@mjaguiniga20]

I agree, but she was very ditzy and completely unaware at the time 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@stargazersappho]

She was too dumb to even know what was going on, she didnt even realize she was in danger.

[@nyyxs]

When the psycho guy went running off I am surprised she didnt think.."Huh...he must have to use the bathroom. Im sure he will be back" 🤣

[@jayceew.rabbit9358]

I'm sure the guy that was the one that came at the right time received a speacial blessing from God!

[@egr7646]

Women, I’ll give a few tips. Keep a jump box in your car, learn how to change a tire, check your fluids and tire pressure etc. Just be safe for yourself.

[@tinywalnut6337]

Also...Triple A.

[@sunkissed1974]

Triple A in very rural areas is useless. Trust me. You can keep a small tote in your car with some basic supplies to work on your car in an emergency. Ask the mechanic who is coming. Get a name. Ask for a name when “help” arrives. I can’t tell you the number of times the guys I have stopped to help said “I’m good. A guy named Sonny is coming”. Nope. The mechanic is Sunny. I’m her. Yup. Girls fix cars too. Lol

[@shawnbbunbbbybbb3942]

And if the laws in your area allow it always carry a gun. If u live somewhere that guns r easily accessible and legal there’s no reason not to carry one especially if you’re a woman it might just save your life one day. And if u do decide to carry a gun don’t just assume that’s all u need to or that if you’re in danger u can just pull it out and they’ll just run away cause even if that is the case 99% of the time u need to be ready for that 1% where they don’t run cause if u pull a gun out and don’t know what you’re doing u might just be pulling out a weapon for them to use on u so make sure u know how to use it and most importantly if y decide to carry a gun make sure u always have the mindset that if I ever take this out I’m absolutely 1000% ready to take someone’s life cause hesitation can get u killed

[@BeaSnow]

The 16 year old restaurant worker could've made her social media private and reported the guy immediately, I don't get why she was so passive for so long, especially when she had other people to back up her claims.

[@blubirbeed4172]

Thats what I was thinking too, as much as I realize how scared and uncomfortable she must have been, I just don't understand why she didn't take those steps to try and protect herself from that creep.

[@markymark443]

The person in the first story really dodged a bullet. Harsh lesson to be more perceptive next time and not do stupid things to leave yourself and your loved ones so vulnerable to grave danger.

[@3das135]

Seeing this intro again made me happy lol ;-;

[@backalleysports4799]

Lol same. It’s a dude thing

[@Shadowghost2003]

Lol same. It's a boy thing

[@mazlikestoreply3779]

I like all the intros but my favourite is the one where it floats over the water with the skulls where “Deerman” is above the TV with the “Thumbs Up Astronaut”

[@lil_tootsie_pop2948]

Lol same its a grown man thing

[@Shadowghost2003]

@The Devil 😂😂😂

[@emilymurdoch6713]

This is my favorite out of your intros because it makes me feel nostalgic from when I first started listening to you a few years ago. Please never get rid of it. 🥰 I love all of them but especially this one. Thanks for another video 🖤🖤🖤

[@somehorse]

The first story and the Eric story both had "I don't know what to do or think" moments that were actually silly.

[@ladygrey9455]

I don't wanna victim blame, but why didn't Lucy set her socials on private, or delete the accounts completely? I used to work at a 911 call center and this question is the equivalent of "did you try to turn it off and back on again?". Yes, you have the right to post *everything* from your selfie to your *exact* location but why are you surprised when situations like these happen? Again, live your life but also think about carrying pepper spray or if not legal in your area, travel size hair spray. Honestly, I just want people to get home alive. Be careful out there!

[@Footy_Fan]

Gunnar is such a good boy. He should get lots of treats, and belly rubs.

[@Jonnyrocket4311]

I'm convinced that some people don't understand what social media is. Most people, in fact. They post everything short of wiping themselves online. Then, with all information, provided by them, they are appalled that strangers know about them. WTF?!

[@Vixa_Jaz]

I don’t understand why she didn’t make her accounts private :-/

[@mikebond6328]

Some people even wipe online.

[@supernt100]

To the Eric story TURN YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PRIVATE DUHHHHHH

[@seekthtruth]

I wonder if that guy could have been listening to dispatching for stranded cars to know where someone was stranded at

[@iliketoeatbatteries8122]

Ok but so much praise for gunner, he’s such a very good boy

[@BlaydeAlabama]

All of these stories were disgusting. It takes alot to make my flesh crawl. Non of these people knew how to really stand up for themselves so the evil creepers really could've hurt them at any moment. Stalking and animal violence damn!!!!

[@craftchild_9151]

That first gal is a little simple. 😅 that first dude even left throwing knives or surgical shears and she didnt even get it then. 😅 and that the police are always so frickin lazy. 😑

[@jayceew.rabbit9358]

When a pet doesn't trust someone, and heeds you warning, never ignore it, cause they all have that instinct and they know!!! Animals are guardian angels!

[@Dmitrikrotchlikmyov]

Finding out your friends duck ringtone is a real duck "Sick you're called Neville now, you're my duck now"

[@Rainy..Day.]

I love ur endings. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into ur videos and for the bit of humor at the end. ❤️

[@pozitron7242]

I’m surprised the mechanic didn’t sing to OP about how a weird man with a bloody rusty knife in a random location with no witnesses is not a good idea

[@tinywalnut6337]

The woman from the first story makes me embarrassed to be female. *mechanic:* I'm so glad I turned up when I did. *woman:* wHaT dO yOu MeAn?? I swear to god if she checks on those children ONE MORE TIME...

[@evelyn-qf8yx]

You’re my all time favorite youtube channel!!

[@Debble]

What horrifies me is that you have to pay for an average doctors check up. In my country even the most basic insurance will pay for that no matter how often you go. Especially if it’s for kids

[@sunkissed1974]

Just the copay for insurance. Usually only 20.00

[@Ch4rlene1]

Nice one..!! I'll be able to sleep tonight to new stories... Your voice always helps me sleep (regardless of the actual scary subject) keep on the good work dude... help us insomniacs...!!😁😁❤👍

[@Sabzie.malone]

Story 3 turned wild when the duck came in

[@Omgitsbarbie]

Had my hair in two plates lol....... plait /plāt,plat/ - a single length of hair or other flexible material made up of three or more interlaced strands; a braid. Basically just means braids this cracked me up so much during the livestream

[@jaeh.6216]

I love watching/listening to your videos. Your voice helps me fall asleep and also helps me get through all the emotions that go threw my mind everyday. You make my day better. If you haven't uploaded that day i will go back and juss relisten to old videos. I swear I have seen all your videos atleast 50 times each. Thank you for all tha help you do without even knowing you do it. 💚💚💚 Wish he could see this, he never gets to see my comments.

[@pattiepizzato5547]

Really great stories. First story with mom, kids, dead battery and old man so scary. Yikes!

[@xcannibal6corpse]

Wow think this is the earliest I've ever gotten into one of your videos , love your narration and very much appreciate your time, effort, and dedication to putting out quality content so often . This is one of my first comments on your videos but you are by far my favorite horror narrator and I listen to quite a few . Thank you

If anyone EVER even looked at my cat wrong I’d be the first to throw hands 🤬

[@optimistprime332]

Plot twist: Kirney was a duckling all along!

[@marlynfermin8676]

I'm just laughing at the fact that she thought it was a ringtone, which people do have and it turned out to be an actual duck. It killed me. Although I hope Lawrence didn't kill Kirney.

[@slicedbread5692]

That story doesnt make sense.. If Lawrence wasnt supposed to be in the apartment at all that final week but the duck was there the whole time wouldnt the author have heard the duck at least once and thought Lawrence was there and his phone was ringing?? Either the duck decided to be totally silent for a week.. Or the duck never really existed and that part was just made up... Or the whole story is BS and the author slipped up trying to be cute at the end.

[@thefinalsay8330]

@@slicedbread5692 idk man some of the details sound pretty true.. like a homeless dude never shutting his door cuz hes used to sleeping and doing whatever on the streets.. or them sharing the liquor like some crack heads.. sad to say but I'm pretty sure lawrence killed Kearny.. since he was a navy seal it wouldn't be hard and I'm sure Kearny had money and stuff lawrence wanted.

Thank you brilliant as always 💚💙💜

[@bLeo99]

The First Lady was so painfully dense that I almost could not finish it.

[@WitchVine]

Story 4: keep your cats inside, people! Yes, even if they were strays before. It only takes one careless driver, or one psychopath, or one wild animal for the kitty to meet an untimely end. And, I mean, you knew there was a man like this in the neighbourhood. People need to take responsibility when it comes to keeping pets safe. It's not like the cat can understand or heed a warning to stay away from dangerous people the way a kid can. Build a catio in the back to keep the cat entertained, give it access to windows, get it a friend, take it for walks. But don't allow it to roam around outside!

[@Mystixspiral]

I sleep to your stories in the mid day

[@richardspillers6282]

Macon can be pretty damn dangerous sometimes. A lot of other cities in the country with reputations for being dangerous just don't compare like most people think they would.

[@George546-he5tz]

It's honestly scary how truly clueless some people are in this world. To the woman in the first story, learn to be safe.

[@alanamuir]

"as if" or "as though" are both more grammatically correct than "as if though."

[@ObtuseMori]

I love Let's Read, but every time he says that it makes my eye twitch. :p

[@emilymurdoch6713]

I think it's cute. It's a quirk he's always had while reading and while not grammatically correct, it's cute lol

[@hadenneal3605]

He says these stories during live streams sometimes, if you think about it, it takes alot of editing and when you are talking to people is pretty hard to not mess up

[@ChrissiTee]

I'm half convinced he does things like this and mispronunciations on purpose to get people to comment, but then he'll read a sentence in such a strange way that it sounds like he hasn't even read through it before recording (like "my border collie dog" - he said it as if dog were the name of the border collie)
