Poor little dear… 😢

I’m truly sorry for your loss. She lives on through you and the lessons she passed on to you. It may sound cliche, but it’s a reality. She’ll always be there to guide you when it matters most.

[@Calebgoblin]

It is heartwarming to hear of that male coworker stepping up in story 1 and their business taking measures to make OP feel safer at work in the future

[@astardustparade]

I know this will get buried in the comments but congrats on 1M subs. You deserve it. You’re the only narrator I enjoy listening to besides Mr Revenant. Love you man!

Our dog Gretchen loves everyone, strangers are friends she hasn’t met yet. If ever she acted anything but happy to see someone I would immediately go on guard.

[@nenarosebud658]

Always a treat listening to you narrate. So what if I fall asleep at some point and have to relisten the next day! These are like, adult bedtime stories. 😄

Fall asleep 10/10 times and have insomnia. I try to listen but ur voice is zen asf and I just drift off.

That kid in the last story is a good son. Trying to make sure his mom was safe, even if he himself had to do it.

[@MiMi-wz7ve]

The story with the man coming into the house and standing over her in bed is my biggest fear. I hate that it happened to them.

@@MiMi-wz7ve Oh. I've never heard of that show.

[@critterwhisperer5821]

@@mojo3318oooh you’re missing out. It’s an anime with the entire story revolving around gambling and how well you can either bluff your way or win at it. And the society is built around it too. If you gamble your life away then you’re either a “Fido” or a “mittens” aka a pet and you do what others tell you. And yumeko is a gambling addict

[@KnotKT88]

Nothing has ever disturbed me when it comes to these scary stories. But after having my first child, I just cannot listen to anything having to do with child neglect or abuse. That poor baby boy. My son is almost 25lbs at 9 months old, how disgusting that anyone could hurt such an innocent and beautiful soul.

[@AbsyntheAndTears]

I am the same as you. I have real trouble listening to stories about little ones. Nothing in the world is worse. And it hits differently when you become a parent.

[@lindsayanthony6819]

Seriously I'm listening at work (which I do most days) and almost started bawling even worse as my kiddo is 7 and I can't even imagine what that baby went through. 😢

[@ApacheMustache]

I've been thinking about getting Babel for a while. . The English version would really come in handy since I'm basically a hillbilly from NC! Anytime I leave my state nobody can ever understand the words coming out of my mouth... I'm only partially kidding

[@luckiestunluckypersonever4278]

I love the way you want to educate yourself. Not only that but you have accepted the fact you aren’t a good speaker and want to change that part of yourself. I’m sure you speak very well but if want to change things about yourself then I’m really impressed.

[@queenofdestiny]

Where in nc!?

[@ApacheMustache]

@@queenofdestiny tbh hillbilly isn't correct since I'm in eastern NC, ECU area, but still out in the woods. I've just done an enormous amount of traveling and I people always comment about it so I jokingly refer to myself as feeling like a hillbilly sometimes. For instance when I was 18 and fresh out of boot camp I had to drive up north to be stationed in NJ. So I had my truck packed up with everything I owned and somehow made it but that was the 1st time I'd ever even seen a toll booth... Crazy trip but I definitely felt like a hillbilly that day! Which I don't think is a bad thing.

[@lori2339]

That man is an Evil Monster that starved his step son to death so disturbing!! and very sad for that boy that didnt stand a chance!!😢😡💔

If you don't know them personally never let them crash at your house.

[@dustinspeicher3390]

Lol. That guy that interviewed with the low income phone program completely misread the situation & over reacted. The reason they had no social media presence is because it's a federally funded grant program that really has no need for a social media, & even if they did it's as bout as low budget as it gets & there's no way they would hire a social media expert to take care of that. The two skinny receptionist was simply two skinny women, that's it. It's not like they were captive slaves working for the cartel giving out free cell phones. Some people are so paranoid for no reason, it's funny,.

[@salemsrevenge]

I think a majority of the people who write these stories are over paranoid.

@@kylebusc3624 would you have gotten into his cabin?????

[@kylebusc3624]

@@lydiapetra1211 no. Nobody would've, that's why it's such a ridiculous story. This guy has all of Reddit to search through and he ends up on stories that could easily be explained as a coincidence. Maybe he did just need help finding his phone. Either way, these are extremely low effort stories/videos

[@NJTransit1985]

@@kylebusc3624 I have to agree. I’ve made similar comments on some of his other videos. In the beginning his stories seemed to be better but now it’s the first story is maybe ok but the rest totally suck. Literally just guys making a smart ass comment to someone, people knocking on the door late at night but not answering, bad dates, loser coworkers. At this point I prefer when he reads a story about someone or something straight from Wikipedia or whatever other source he gets it from.

[@thestreamdreamradiom2754]

Story number six: it’s funny how in these stories often men seem to be so much less cautious about trusting strangers and allowing them into their house while women often know that this is the sort of thing that could cause problems. I’m guessing bc as a general thing men don’t feel they have to be on high alert about people they don’t know (especially strange men) being in their house as much as women often do.

Just FYI... About the Obama phone story. They popped up all over my city, and the people handing them out were less than savory characters. Junkies, ex-cons, even recruited homeless people. I find it freaking hilarious that whoever that was tried to make a business out of handing out Obama phones. The people you met were probably people that had less than stellar pasts and maybe a few addictions....

[@D-Rizzle653]

I heard about that .. What was the story about those phones? I thought the government handed them out? I’m from Australia so idk but I heard about them once

[@D-Rizzle653]

Oh okay thanks and that’s cool because I thought America didn’t have free healthcare..here in Australia you don’t pay a cent for healthcare and we have MEDI-CARE it’s called. I always thought America if your injured or hurt you have to pay the hospital bill right?
