I had heard that one with the aunt in meth psychosis before but it still hits just as hard. That was some horrible torture to endure, especially for a 14 year old. I really hope she's living a good life now and has all the therapy she needs. 🙏🏼

The story about Custard brought tears to my eyes. They said it happened 25 years ago, but I don’t think I would have ever recovered from that either. A bit unrelated but the story reminds me of the ‘trophy hunter’ that intentionally killed the infamous ‘06 wolf in Yellowstone that caused a huge outcry. You can google her story. She was truly legendary. She was one of the greatest, most beloved alpha female wolves to ever live. The hunters name was never made public because people understandably wanted him harmed or locked up. Just like I highly doubt a skilled hunter would mistake a horse for a deer, there is no way a skilled hunter would mistake a wolf as a deer or a dog. It was intentional, and he got away with it. There needs to be more laws that protect Wolves, and protect peoples pets.

21:32 This is a common fallacy. People don't always travel downhill when lost. If there is an air search, some people will hike to higher elevations where the tree cover is less dense, and the distance between them and the helicopters/planes is less, increasing the chance they will be spotted by SAR.

Thomas Silverstein deserved more complete isolation than he got, way more. And my heart broke when Custard passed away. That was absolutely soul crushing. An innocent soul, snuffed out, in the blink of an eye.

Joel has the most soothing voice ever, I fall asleep to your videos every night.❤

[Mr.andMrs.Smith_]

I can't imagine how anyone could leave a 14yr old with someone so mentally disturbed as the crazy meth aunt, its one of the most horrific stories I've ever heard, but you tell it so well....

[franksmith]

This channel kicks ass!! Great story telling!!

[mistressofdhara]

I adore how your narrations make it seem as though I'm just listening to a buddy tell me a few tales about some wackadoo encounters 😊

[taylorcenter]

That story about the aunt was the scariest thing I've ever heard

[DeeElizabethFlint]

The story about Custard absolutely broke my heart!!!

[SadieMage]

Guards demanding safer conditions, when it’s the guards’ abuse causing violent reactions, is next level.

[MissMelissy]

Robert Maudsley tho!!! I actually listened and read a lot about him. I’m not even mad about him. He never ate the brains from what I read. And if I remember correctly he had reasons to kill the two inmates. He’s doing fairly well now. Apparently had a lot of contact through letters with a nephew I believe. I feel bad for him really. I wish he had more time to handle some of the guys that went after children and women😢🤷🏻‍♀️

[strawberriesssssssssss]

That ending though. The uplifting music with the birds.
Really softens the blow of the video ending.

[CaptHowdy-ympx]

I liked touring Romania but some of it was down right scary. Would be on one street, having it all lit up, then turn the corner and it would be super medieval dark with people hiding in closed buildings and apartment building alcoves. Visited Transylvania and Wallachia to sight see Vlad the Impaler's buildings, battle areas, and other Dracula related things. Some of the stuff up in the Carpathian Mountains was pretty creepy. Even went monk's convent so a female (that I was trying to date) could light a candle for someone who wasn't with her any more. But there was something wrong with the monks. There was an air of something wrong and that violence could happen at any moment. They stared at the females with us and stood very close to us. Almost like they were thinking about grabbing one of the girls and running away with one. We would be talking and as naturally as we could walk and stand between them as a physical barrier. Later in another town we heard that the worst of the the monks ended up there due to little interaction with the public (not many visitors, and the ones that are, are usually men) and that many of them have major problems with their chastity vows but also have sexually assaulted others from men to women to children. But in a country that goes from 1sr world to 3rd world the Orthodox Church was more able to hide problem monks away before the government/police are told or get wind of said monk.

You gotta dab Vicks in your nostrils not Vaseline lol that’s what nurses do… Vicks smells so strong you can’t smell anything else.
