The Dare On Buckout Road
Happy Halloween, guys and ghouls! What you’re about to watch is a fictional tale inspired by the dark and eerie legends surrounding Buckout Road, a real place notorious for its haunted history, ghost stories, and spine-chilling rumors.
In 1984, three friends and I took a ride of a lifetime, one I doubt any of us forgot. Names have been changed to protect the not-so-innocent, and I may have used a bit of creative licensing in this story but it's Halloween, so please indulge me :)
This is the story of four friends. One haunted road. And a dare they won’t soon forget. Buckle up-you’re in for a wild ride down a road where anything can happen…

The Max Headroom Signal Hijacking Of 1987
If I had the money I would have bought this and turned it out into a haunted house money maker. Sorry shanann. your still a popular girl and people want more of you😬. I love you and the babies more than you know 🙏🏽✌🏽💖✨
I will say, I believe her 💯% and, I am done with anything to do with Garth Brooks, this time he’s gone too far! I have been a witness to Garth Brooks self serving behavior in the early 2,000s when, a local radio country Radio Station out of Cincinnati, OH. WUBE who would sponsor a free event once every summer that started in the early 70s, A Day in the Country, a free event where like something similar to fan fair and, I was the only one standing by his both on a very hot day in the middle of July, I was the only one standing there by his booth, and, he couldn’t look me in the eye once and, he would turn his head one way or the other or hang his head low! I was getting aggravated , my 2 kids were quite little then. But, the thing was even once he wouldn’t acknowledge me, then, he just acted like he wasn’t going to sing, we all took off and left, I was quite disappointed in how he acted and, just continued to carry on! I also around that time heard a couple other stories from close friends one around that time and, one yrs later by a guy who drove a truck and had to deliver concert equipment and, he was told to deal with Garth Brooks directly for the payment of when, delivery was complete and, well, Garth just stared off into space and, wouldn’t pay up! I honestly think Garth has already hurt himself because, he keeps running his mouth a bit too much! Everyone knows an attorney will advice you to keep your mouth quiet and, the less you say the better! He just swears repeatedly he’s innocent but, I say it’s because, his hands just aren’t as clean as he wants everyone to think he is! You definitely can read the lines between all his B.S.! 11:06
They always say never meet your heros, you'll be sorely disappointed...sorry that happened!!
The video is new (October 2024), but the lies in it are old. It is common knowledge that the Thompsons and Docheffs pay a PR firm to spread misinform and slander in the media. For example, if a blogger talks about a "price increase" on Marvin's property - the blogger is unequivocally in on the scam. Because it's slander and lies. There was never any negotiation between Marvin and Cody. You can't "change your mind and raise the price" on a non-existent negotiation. From the same PR-company comes an unacceptable boorish tone. Imagine: your father or brother died tragically, he's famous all over the world, and you read/listen to something as mocking, swaggering, rude and deceitful as your video. Would you enjoy it? Your participation in a smear campaign paid for by the Thompsons and Docheffs is morally damaging, probably to many people. I suggest you actually study history before you talk about it. If you don't talk about the Thompsons' crimes - you know nothing at all about this history. And a glamorous pink background (actually inappropriate for this serious theme) doesn't make your video any better.
I don't know who is less artractive...Tammy, or that Cat.
You leave my cat alone! 🤣🤣🤣
@@genxfilestruecrime I didn't mean your cat. I ment the cat they are holding in the picture @0:37 At least I think it's a cat.
@@hime273 LMAO holy crap I didn't even notice! Reminds me of the cat from the Michael Rappaport video (IYKYK) 🤣
🌾 I still remember back then in the morning show's of Jim Baker and Tammy Baker watching the P.T.L. - said to my self wow how God used this couple of bringing out the world of God almighty bless are those who know the right from wrong for we are living in times of destruction for we must wake up, be open minded at all times to the word of God - Never in my life though I would come across Jim Baker, while visiting Jesup Florida to visit a person, incarcerated in that very same place, I remember getting up from my chair approach Jim Baker shook his hand told him God almighty stills Love you Jim, he had his Bible in his hand, who knows what the world holds in our lives in this, yes time is short let us all seek the Lord always for guidance of the holy Spirit to lead us in a path of righteous ness, for his name is more powerful than the things of this world, what I am trying to say is Follow God not man for the word of God almighty says to us all - Trust in God only not man for mans way is the way to destruction and God almighty's way is the way to salvation for let us all seek God in our hearts. God bless All keep safe at all times. 🌾
I was on their show as a child. He was a bit of a creepy dude, really.
The film was interesting to watch and I felt sorry for Tammy and the way her husband behaved.
Look in the dictionary under "disgusting fraud" and you'll find them.
WOW awesome video ;)
this guy is pure evil and planned to kill the innocent 😇 he had a mistress who he wanted to marry and he was a Devil in disguise 🥸
On another vid, Chris Watts stated he was angry when Shannan rolled into the grave he had dug for her, and she ended up face down, no remorse at all. One person described him as an idiot!! As though he had had a minor car accident , I posted a message asking her what she would call Hitler, perhaps 'not a very nice man'. This person obviously doesn't comprehend the heinous things he did to his wife and family. Instead of 'idiot', perhaps a cold blooded evil psychopath would be more appropriate!!🤔🤔
I almost moved to CO. glad i didn’t -it’s beautiful but a lot of mental illness there. Maybe it’s the altitude
Yeah good thing you didn't move to Colorado. We don't need more retards like you here.
First of all this did not end disco. Disco faded in 1981, and still remained popular in New York, Miami, LA and Philadelphia. Disco died in 1981, not 1979. Maybe in Chicago it died on July 12th, 1979, but really lasted a couple years later. The question is was it that this demolition began the dying and downfall of disco. Or no, this event had little bearing to the backlash and downfall of disco.
That looks like Onision lol
LOL now I can't unsee it! 🤣
Real question is tim walz not getting charged and why kamala ignored the allegations prior to accepting him as vp
If he had proof of her blackmail why didn't he contact the police?
I agree! He just wanted to get out in front of it to protect his reputation. 100% I bet they settle before ever stepping into a courtroom.
Hi!🙋🏻♀️. Thanks for the video, new sub & bonified Gen-Xer!🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 pretty crazy info, sad but Garth’s been in trouble with women before… I don’t think anything legally….till now🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️…. Nice to meet ya!!! 💚💚💚
Thanks girl! Right back atcha!
I heard that Nk and Chris was fooling around with a oujia board while the three girls were away.
Wow you left out so much for contex. Shame, Who paid you to do this HIT peace? this is why he did it. Because of your misinformations!! As a genXer I am appalled you claim genx!!
Government fiat basically means "Because I said so." The man was indignant by being treated as a child,,
What is your point here? You're talking about stuff 400 miles away. This video is ridiculous 😂
I mentioned the Four Corners region--400 miles from Frederick--because of its own Native American lore in Colorado. The Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Ute tribes, which are the focus of this video, are local to Frederick.
Damn, this is like Amityville horror but in Colorado.
Seriously!
Yes, but today we know that much of what they invented to make the book and the movie about Amityville was exaggerated. The same will happen in time with that Watts house. We will see it in a movie… I hope so.
The videos are only pointing out what SW ACTUALLY did...so what's the issue!?
Killerado
This could be maybe your on to something i do believe this i was pushed in my home and there was no one in the home the man and women i hea4d weren,t very nice what do you think i was black and blue and they though i broke my arm. Buy the way they died before i bought this house.
If Ms Watts didn’t want an opinion why did she FB every 3 hours? Thats fair use.I don’t see many women sticking up for her with positive UA-cam content. I really haven’t even seen one. You can make one instead of comment shaming. You don’t like the content don’t watch the content. But you make a PSA shaming people that shame other people in a shaming video that Shannan made. Shame on you.
Wait, rules for thee but not for me, is that what you're suggesting? Shan'ann's Facebook posts were meant for friends, family and her MLM buddies, it didn't become public fodder until her useless husband decided to m*urder his whole family and she made national news. I don't mind anyone having an opinion on her but there is a way to express oneself using tact and decorum. That subreddit, for the most part, lacks both. Of course...just my opinion. :)
HA this good movie, you tell funny story!
Thanks for the video! 👍
Wow
What's wrong about pointing out wrongdoings of a victim? Many of Shannan's videos show her lack of empathy towards her kids. She posted those video online herself because she obviously was addicted to the social media and posting.
I think that's a matter of opinion though. Just because *you" see a lack of empathy doesn't mean everyone does or even that it's true, especially since opinions (no matter what they are or whose they are, to be fair) are based solely on 10-20 min video snippets of her day. I don't disagree she was "addicted" to social media / posting, because I do believe she liked the attention. I also agree some of those posts were indeed questionable...but you also have to remember it was pre-covid and I think (again, my opinion) Facebook was a slightly different world back then. I'm not above pointing out flaws it's the shaming, the name calling, the exaggerations, the untruths and writing opinions as gospel that grinds my gears.
@@genxfilestruecrime Thank you for the response. I agree that hate comments, name calling, gossips etc. are not okay. I am not saying she was a bad mom all the time but I think she wasn't acting as a good mom in some of her videos. Also exposing her family so much online was not healthy in my opinion. I don't think she was a bad person though. I think she had her issues (we all do) and unluckily got sucked into a very unhealthy MLM business.
@@verusi509 I don't disagree with any of that :)
Great job on this video, I wanted to add that while the Watts were living in the house the ground was being dug up behind that house for all those other houses pretty much in the Watt house's backyard, just a thought 🧐
Thanks for your work on this video. Can I ask, did you have a dry mouth when you were recording? Your mic is clearly a good one and it sounded like it does with a dry mouth. No insult intended, I'm just wondering.
LOL probably! I hate my voice and I tend to get a bit gravely at times, I should drink more when recording!
@@genxfilestruecrimeyou have a good voice imo
@@genxfilestruecrimeLol it because we hear our voices with the reverb in our head and whatnot, but everyone else including recordings hear it regular. Your voice is nice though!
😂😂😂😂 what else is going inside that head of yours
l would bring in a shaman to get rid of the evil spirits and bless the house
THAT is a really good idea!
Another middle aged cat lady trying to be a UA-camr as if they have something unique to offer. This is what happens when you dont have children..You start focusing on(and being offended by) things that have nothing to do with you, and then no one pays any attention to your ramblings. Except the cat. Take care now.
Mistress is real thief
💯
Hell no.
No thank you
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you for the interesting history of CO!
Native American? Were nothing like this monster.
That...that wasn't the point of the video. There's only one thing CW is like, and it's not Native American.
Great job on this video, I wanted to add that while the Watts were living in the house the ground behind the house was being dug up in order to build more houses as well, just a thought 🤔 @@genxfilestruecrime
What she is talking about is the land itself. It belonged to native Americans.There might be a native curseon the land.Might pay to go to the Utes or one of the other tribes and speak to a shaman and have him or her bless and cleanse the house.
No we are not..
My favorite shows of that era where Hill Street Blues and Magnum P.I. Thursday night TV was the best!
I enjoy disco today. Including many of the post/disco bands out there, particularly Jamiriquai. I liked the better songs back then, but much like hair metal, or other musical trends that all record execs throw everything at it to cash in, saturation will kill it. Was it racist and homophobic? That was a factor for some, but I also remember Parliament/Funkadelic throwing shade at disco as well.
I love Jamiroquai! That's my go-to playlist for road trips and housecleaning LOL
End it forever? I still have my disco albums. Fuck the haters.
Right on!
I thought the hate was silly at the time.
Whatever happened to his cousin's wife that introduced them I don't get it never heard of her again
She lied about having lupus and she only married Chris for financial stability.
And to escape from NC after her money embezzlement
Rip shannann Bella Cece and nico😢
ACK! Some very nice person pointed out that in the beginning of the video I mention the wrong DOD...why'd I do that? I have no idea! The correct DOD is Monday, August 13, 2018.
lol You are hilarious! I subed up two profiles. I (ths profile) did a video on CW and one on NK may I put your channel in my description a put a sht ton of channel/platforms I watched to come up w my thoughts. You and I are on the same vibe. I love the extra info a lot of people do not have in this fashion. Your my (married children) adults age. You have a lot of pictures (like the one on the bottom right CW in middleschool w his fam/cringy) You have a bit of different videos also. Such fantastic editing. You said Empanada and I say that a lot w NK. You mentioned 'nut gate' so did I. I love your view I am so proud of you! I am also a new channel I got over 1K w the NK so may I promote you by putting you in the description for anyone who sees the others will see you too. You are talented. You are also brazen and I like it. Big Ballz Yalz...noice! lmk God Bless You and Your Family
Seriously? Let them rest in peace.
Y r u watching the video....? letting them rest in peace Missy? Where you looking for a cemetery...cas that's where people rest in peace. Did the title lead you to think this video and other videos of this tragedy let's people rest in peace? R U sending peace or contributing to their family? What where your intentions clicking on this? Seriously? YA you rest in peace and keep your ignorant comments in the ground. This young lady is doing something what are you doing? Sending a comment like that is not constructive and shows your content as well.
I'd like to believe that when you say nice things about those that have passed, they rest even more comfortably.
Doesn't mean we can't shit on chris
