I've been homeless with and without a car and honestly it's almost more stressful WITH a car because they tend to stick out. I was always worried either it would draw attention being the only car in an area, or someone would notice me sleeping in it because it wasn't the only one around
Ah yes... Like a portable safe you could lock yourself in, your food and belongings too. You could get away if needed. But also a target if other homeless people knew you had one. It became like a vital piece of equipment that we had to guard closely.
homeless in London in the 90s, with van. Found that a lot better than a car: no back windows, no can see within nor without; 100% safe sleeping from cops & much safer re. desperate & lunatics). But what really made the difference is having dog mate.
The people not wanting an ambulance or want 911 called part is propably less because they didn't realize their injuries' severity, but because an ambulance ride and basic treatment in USA cost _thousands of dollars._ I think even an ambulance ride alone could be around $1000.
I'm disabled and have been chronically homeless. The worst experience I've had wasn't an event I'd witnessed or heard of, though I've seen some messed up shit. It's not even something that happened while I was homeless. I make it a point get to know my houseless nieghbors wherever I live. It's a great way to intimately know your neighborhood, know who's safe, and even have people who'll protect you from not-so-safe individuals. As a consequence, I end up becoming close with the community around me, roof or no roof. In turn, people start watching each other's backs more. Still, there's only so much you can do for others, especially when everyone grouping together is in just as much of a bad place as the other. Twice on separate occasions, I've had a friend go missing. No one knew where they were, what happened, nothing. To this day, niether have been heard from. Here's the fucked up part: When I'd talk to a friend who's never experienced houselessness about one of my other friends going missing, they start out very shocked and concerned, "Have you gone to the police?!" Me: "The police don't care." They'd be outraged and sympathetic, up until the point they find out one detail: My friend is homeless. Complete attitude change, like I was upset about some stray cat. "Oh, that just happens." Suddenly , I'm just being sully and overreacting, maybe even overacting. It becomes a joke to them. Every. Time. And I'm talking about liberal-leaning people with #BLM on their handles when that was trendy. People who voted for Biden (and told me I was racist and wanted Trump to win if I had a single complaint about it). People who'd tell me "happy pride!" in June because they know I'm bi and trans. Not a single one of these people actually cared. When you're homeless, you're less then human in the eyes of most. In fact, I've seen them get more emotional about stray animals, so really, you're less than that. That's more messed up than anything I've actually seen on the street. I basically use it as a litmus test with people these days. I'd say like 5% of the general population (at least people I tend to meet) pass this sort of human decency test. I've been told I'm a little too strict, but I'd rather have 5 excellent people in my life over 100 fakes.
@@mo-s- Thank you for asking. The best place to start is to see if there's a local Food Not Bombs in your area. I think we have two in Oklahoma. What state are you in?
@@mo-s- Oh, yeah it's different everywhere. One through line is to just talk to us like people, like anyone else. You're going to run into as many bad and good people on the street as you do in buildings, the difference being that the street just brings out one's character more. I always get to know my neighbors, wether they have a roof over their head or not. It actually makes me feel safer, more people watch out for me, and I have a better idea of what goes on in my neighborhood. So yeah, be friendly (but still wary) and help out where you can.
Just got back into housing after spending 7 months couch surfing / living in my car / going camping over the weekends; i still had a full time job, but was stuck in a situation where i was paying for a place i was unable to live due to an abusive roommate/ex; the worst thing about being homeless was that i ended up destroying my close friendships by overstaying my welcome without being told i was doing so. Almost as bad, though, was the feeling that I could never relax. No privacy, ever. I was either in my car where people could see me through my windows, or at work, or in public, or on a friends couch where I could be walked in on at any time. It also really sucked because everything was a money drain: if i wanted AC, the car had to be on, which meant i had to pay for gas. If i wanted a hot meal, i had to pay for fast food or bum off of my friends. Ive gotta get a second job to afford the place im in now, but im so glad to have a roof over my head again.
there are many many many videos out there about living in your car, from years back, like "cheap RV living". You weren't smart enough to do it. But there are people living full time in small cars to big rigs.
I saw a drug overdose. The only people who didn’t believe they were actively about to pass was the people working for the shelter. I was the only one who called out for an ambulance. They all minded their business but I wasn’t going to let someone pass away due to the bystander effect. I hope they’re doing okay almost every day. They were far too young to be homeless.
Story 8: op was lucky with the bear. If you see one it's been tracking your scent for miles. Mountain lion yeah most avoid humans as much as possible except the really sick or starving ones. Op encounter was with a healthy one if a bit hungry. All predators are opportunists so no matter what treat every encounter with caution. Op had some serious dumb luck there.
8:53 just in case you're ever in a situation where a mountain lion is near you: try and scare it. Make yourself look bigger, make loud noises, and throw things at it (or at least near it - just don't aim for the head). Whatever you do, DON'T RUN, and DON'T TURN YOUR BACK. That triggers its predatory response. If it seems aggressive, it's probably that you're near its den, so it won't run away. Just back away slowly as you do the other things I mentioned until it leaves you alone. Also, if you ever heard what sounds like the screams of a dying woman in the woods, it's probably a mountain lioness in heat, so DO NOT investigate.
I’m from the UK, obviously we don’t have mountain Lions, bears or wolves, so nothing really to worry about, but once when returning home drunk, heard what I thought was someone in distress, so went to help, only to find a fox which I assume was calling for a mate or something, but the cry sounded very human like at the time. I can’t imagine actually answering that cry for help and finding a damn cougar (and not the good kind lol) or a fucking bear or something, that shit is scary!
one of my exes would go all feral sometimes. It was terrifying. He'd get that awful look in his eyes and you'd know that he was about to do something awful unless you somehow de-escalated the situation (or did whatever he wanted). I feel lucky to not be with him anymore but I still live in fear that he will one day go fully-feral and show up to murder me.
Where I live (Northern Utah) we see extreme cold in winter. we don't have as big a homeless population as other states, but every year several freeze to death. We have a couple of shelters (one for men and the other for women and small children) plus emergency warming shelters and people do volunteer to try and find those without shelter so they can get them out of the lethal cold but some either don't want to go or trust anyone and refuse to go. So sadly enough reading stories of those with mental illness or elderly homeless freezing to death here is an annual occurrence. I'd be absolutely terrified of being homeless in winter here, to the point I'd probably commit a (non-violent) crime with the hopes of getting just a long enough sentence to not be outside again until late spring when temps climb above freezing again.
11:51 stories like these about cops doing this shit just sparks a fucking rage in me that can't be described by words. Idk what it is but it just makes me so pissed
I got to experience it myself. Was parked some place with permission, got woke up by my door being yanked open, dragged out of the back seat, bright light stone in my face with a 9mm inches from my face. One local PD with 4 of his buddies from state police. I told him I had permission to be here and he flat out told me he didn't care and if he ever saw me agian he'd find a way to make sure I went to prison. Had to lose a safe place to sleep with a bathroom because of one asshole cop. The rest of the PD never bothered me despite it clear iw as homeless. Hell some even made sure I made it safely to my car late at night and sat their a minute till I locked the doors and gave them a thumbs up and just drove off. It's why this asshat called his body in the state police because the rest of the PD didn't bother homeless people as long as they didn't cause issues like shoplifting or drunk and disorderly. It's why I support police reform but do not see all cops the same because reform is to get rid of that one asshole cop but not demonize the rest of the PD that was cool and actually watched out for everyone regardless of status.
@@scorch2155 the idea behind demonetizing the police is to reroute that money to other social services or departments _and also_ take those responsibilities off the shoulders of the police department. it's not about wanting the PDs to do more with less, it's about wanting PDs to _do less,_ so they can focus on their core law enforcement responsibilities instead of constantly being called in to deal with stuff that they aren't really equipped or trained to deal with. for example, if you call 911 for somebody who's having a mental health crisis, who shows up? the police. but the police are not trained mental health professionals, they cannot be expected to know the proper way to de-escalate such a situation, and the way they _are_ trained to deal with difficult people is often the exact wrong way to respond to someone having a mental health crisis. but what if we took some of the money that we give to the PD and used it to staff a department with emergency social workers who _are_ properly trained in how to handle a situation like that? now the PD has one less responsibility to worry about, and we can rest assured that the person sent out for that situation will have the right kind of skillset to deal with it correctly. it's win/win. unfortunately the more nuanced explanation doesn't make for a snappy slogan like "defund the police" does, so there's a lot of misunderstandings around what this movement is actually asking for.
My scariest experience on the street happened 18 years ago when the cops woke me up aking if I saw something , I hadnt , I was passed out drunk , they told me there were gunshots not even 10 meters away from me , I packed my shits and hauled ass with my dog . It was in Canada in 2006 , Im happy I dont live that way anynore
i had to go homeless early this year but fortunately I had a place to stay between my friend, my boyfriend and the council. The scariest thing I witnessed was the hotel that the council put me into. The room had to windows, the pipes sounded like breathing, and it was pitch black in there. The place just absolutely terrified me. I do not recommend the Britannia Hotel in Scotland Aberdeen UK to anyone
Drug use was rampid in Santa Cruz California in early 2000. I was a runaway and slept in the woods around the town. Often I would hug people and they would go use after and they would od and I'd never see them again. I still hug people like they might pass away just in case.
ive been homeless a few a times and some over night stays on the streets . one time when i was Tasmania seeing an ex for the first time I stayed on the streets because being homeless in the past it never bothered me , I brought a blanket and was going to sleep in the bush under a tree at library in Devonport , i was texted her goodnight when i was approached by a lady i freaked out ive never had anyone come close to be while staying on the street she said im with street angels would you like a hot meal , i said no thank you im just homeless for the night before going back to Hobart in the arvo , im just meeting some one again in the morning and its scary being approached im from the mainland and we dont have people like you we just fend for ourselves , i dont trust that you are not trying to poison me . anyways the next morning i wake to a phone call from the girl i went to see and i scared the shit out of her when i came out of the bush i didnt want leave because it was mid winter and i was warm and cozy and camouflaged really well nobody knew i was there it was awesome 10/10 would do again
Me and my friend ended up getting kicked out of our homes when we did some stupid shit in our teens so we stuck together ended up in the country sleeping in Hay sheds to keep warm . One night in the middle a bumfuck nowhere mid sentence my friend has a seizure a really bad one . We have no phones to call for help and we a miles from anywhere but I tried shouting for help . He stops convulsions but he also stopped breathing I'm freaking out when I see a flash light . The farmer had heard me I tried explaining about my friend but he just kept telling us to leave . I could t move my friend . He called the police and when they turned up no one would listen to me they just thought my friend was high so we got arrested . They dragged him into the car and drove us to the station . I managed to get an officer to listen and told him he had a seizure and I think he's dead . He pulled over and checked his pulse luck he was still alive but very weak heart beat and shallow breathing . We where both 14 . So I would say the worst I ever saw was how society treated 2 young teens out alone at night and one looks dead
That last story just pissed me off as it treated homelessness like "lol it was so fun!" Like people just slumming it witha group to telling people about how they did it and belittles the hell that is homelessness. Just feels so mocking.
Does anybody know which Undersparked video this story was in? Some people are driving around in the countryside, and see firelight behind an isolated house. They drove there and come face to face with a bunch of men who are doing some kind of a ritual with a burning cross in the yard. The men chase them in a car, but the guys are able to escape by getting out of sigght and turning off the lights until they pass.
I feel story 5 was more the OP being spooked with the potentiality than anything truly creepy since the watcher was almost certainly just an office worker.
I almost got kidnapped… and I saw people die on the street. A lot of people puking. Crack head tweaking. Strange things. Saw an abusive person try to kill the selves. Saw a car pull up and dump a dead body in the river. Some one got stabbed. People swinging. Crazy things. But in the woods it was chill nothing scary. But in the city and on the outskirts crazy stuff.
Could you please post the links to the stories (or at least the questions so the stories are easier to find) in the video descriptopn or a pinned comment?
Unfortunately a lot of people don't have a choice but to be bougie homeless, me and my wife are because it costs $2,000 to rent a shity low tier apartment here
9:19 similar deal with black bears as it is with mountain lions. Make yourself look big and make loud noises. Unlike with mountain lions though, don't throw things. And if you see bear cubs...there's nothing you can do other than pray.
The storm the Beast of the East. I woke up to find almost everyone had froze to death in the night. Some had their eyes open face locked in an expression of dread, those with open eyes had ice crystals of some kind that had grown on their eyes, yes this was many years ago, I have been off the streets for so long, but it haunts my memories and I have a hard time having a normal life
Yeah regarding last one... i was thinking in buying a kangoo/partner/berlingo with my boyfriend and live part time since we are living with my in-law and can't pay rent. they are not cheap.. there is a world wide crisis.. so instead of paying a rent worth of a salary per month, i will stay in my mini van and save money!. I wish a lot do the same so owners can go fk themselves.
Watching a video about being homeless and get a "coach" ad for the very 1st time... yes the al gore Rythm works Everyone with interest in stories from the homeless community...also loves a flashy $400- $1500 purse 🤡
I look forward to being homeless. I'm not rich but when I do finally go homeless I will have a bit of Money so the adjustment period won't be terribly uncomfortable. People already think I'm homeless a lot of the time so I kinda fit in.
the first story legit made me cry. I came here expecting scary stories, instead was greeted with a wholesome encounter. well done...
Oh indeed. I'm so glad they were genuine. Not often you get that
Same bro
The only times I've been without a home I still had a car. It truly is the last lifeline between hope and hopelessness.
I know that one too well
So, thankfully, do I....🙁
I've been homeless with and without a car and honestly it's almost more stressful WITH a car because they tend to stick out. I was always worried either it would draw attention being the only car in an area, or someone would notice me sleeping in it because it wasn't the only one around

I almost got kidnapped… and I saw people die on the street. A lot of people puking. Crack head tweaking. Strange things. Saw an abusive person try to kill the selves. Saw a car pull up and dump a dead body in the river. Some one got stabbed. People swinging. Crazy things. But in the woods it was chill nothing scary. But in the city and on the outskirts crazy stuff.
Great first story
These are just sad
Could you please post the links to the stories (or at least the questions so the stories are easier to find) in the video descriptopn or a pinned comment?
rapists enrage me.
Unfortunately a lot of people don't have a choice but to be bougie homeless, me and my wife are because it costs $2,000 to rent a shity low tier apartment here
9:19 similar deal with black bears as it is with mountain lions. Make yourself look big and make loud noises. Unlike with mountain lions though, don't throw things. And if you see bear cubs...there's nothing you can do other than pray.
10:45 my immediate thought Alan-
The storm the Beast of the East. I woke up to find almost everyone had froze to death in the night. Some had their eyes open face locked in an expression of dread, those with open eyes had ice crystals of some kind that had grown on their eyes, yes this was many years ago, I have been off the streets for so long, but it haunts my memories and I have a hard time having a normal life
Yeah regarding last one... i was thinking in buying a kangoo/partner/berlingo with my boyfriend and live part time since we are living with my in-law and can't pay rent. they are not cheap.. there is a world wide crisis.. so instead of paying a rent worth of a salary per month, i will stay in my mini van and save money!. I wish a lot do the same so owners can go fk themselves.
poor black bear wanted to cuddle
Just to remind y’all that homeless ppl stil have phones, they may not have a home but often they don’t striaght up have nothing
Watching a video about being homeless and get a "coach" ad for the very 1st time... yes the al gore Rythm works
Everyone with interest in stories from the homeless community...also loves a flashy $400- $1500 purse 🤡

You ever click on a video and the first story is clickbait. Like come on you could’ve titled it wholesome stories or something
totally not first (nobody cares)
Lol
I look forward to being homeless. I'm not rich but when I do finally go homeless I will have a bit of Money so the adjustment period won't be terribly uncomfortable. People already think I'm homeless a lot of the time so I kinda fit in.
That first one was giving Les Mis in a good way. 🥹
