Back with an old-school upload. Can you taste the nostalgia?

[plank]

That first story is horrific. The fact that if the mum wasn't there then the child would've probably been stolen and never seen again is the worst possible thing I can imagine for parents. It really gives a new perspective on the world. Things can change in an instant.

[isaiahKV]

I thought the second story was going to be another "real humanoid thing story" but damn that was just sad

[ezra-jacksimas]

I actually heard the first story from the dads perspective in a radio show called The Moth and his telling of it is actually terrifying. They beat him ruthlessly and most refused to apologize to him for it. Not to mention he was actually severely injured during the who ordeal and the cops refused to take it seriously. He ended up needing stitches and shit and it shook him up pretty bad

[Lead]

The second story is horrifying, even compared to others... for the guy finding the suicidal man on his doorstep all bloody, and for the victim himself... I can't think about it too long

[WatashiMachineFullCycle]

The second story broke my heart, man. Like I get how terrifying it must be to open your door in the middle of the night to such a grizzly sight but the poor wretch was just desperately looking for help. The fact that he had to go from door to door and nobody helped him is just so sad.

[Crakinator]

A good old fashioned Lazy upload? Right as I finished making my grilled cheese? When I don’t need to be in class? On a Friday?
I must be in heaven.

[mohamedalismacktalk]

I feel horrible for the parents of Jaime from the third story.
Imagine letting your kid have a sleep over with his friends thinking nothing of it and then realising your kid was kidnapped from his home while everyone else slept in piece.
I wouldn't blame his parents if they thought it was his friend's mistake

[AllG]

The laughing deer hunter definitely sounds like a random encounter you’d expect to see in Red Dead Redemption

[Lightnatural]

i put myself in the shoes of the dad on the first story and my blood was boiling.
just imagine being held down by a lot of people while your own child is being taken away by a manipulative woman.

[FindingCreatures]

Oh man. That story of the kid getting kid napped after losing the bet is just sad man. Imagine living with the guilt of leaving your friend in an empty scary room and the next minute he's gone.

[Brandibb]

That type of haunting at that office is the type of haunting you want. Props to that ghost.

[crownhic]

Has anyone ever had a weird feeling when in certain towns? There’s a town in Illinois. A south suburb of Chicago. My wife has family in this town. We rarely go there, but whenever we do, we both get this feeling that I can only describe as a “Twilight Zone” feeling of dread. People seem to stare at us like, what are you doing here? It’s extremely creepy. As soon as we drive out of town, we’re fine. Anyone else experience this?

[theNoobmaster]

True story: my aunt dated a guy in the Mafia. He disappeared after he was caught laundering money. Most people assumed he was dead. A few years ago on Facebook my aunt's son got a friend request from him. He had gotten married and was living out in Vegas. He died sadly sometime last year from natural causes. But it's a pretty cool story nonetheless. It blew my dad's mind because he remembered the guy always carrying an Uzi hidden inside his coat.

[akio_kuro]

Used to watch your old videos with my dad. He died February 18th from covid. I know he would have been pissed about the first story lol. Descansa en paz Papí 🕊

[isaiahKV]

That story about Tom would actually make a really cool movie premise

[castawayonthemoon]

The second story escalated so quickly from creepy to sad

[Annathesurfer]

Literally the third story made me say “what!?” Out loud in shock. It’d be insane to all be in a group and suddenly in the morning your friend is just gone because of something you all decided.

(p.s. Nice to hear some stories again! Although I've really grown to the mysteries and cases, but you could read the phone book and I'd enjoy! 🖤)

The story about the man identifying his missing friend sounds like it could be a case of folie a deux. Which is basically a shared psychosis between 2 or more people and especially common with close family members. My theory would be that he was interviewed by the detectives but the stress of the situation caused a temporary psychosis between him and his girlfriend where they kept feeding off of, and reaffirming each other about the situation, but learning of the CCTV footage caused them to snap out of it.
