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.

      @@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.

    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,.

    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.

    Thank you for all your hard work and dedication!! I imagine finding stories all time would be time consuming. I appreciate u:) For me to fall asleep like a normal axx person , it takes a miracle but your voice neverr fails ,im always asleep pretty quick! My only problem now is clicking your vid before 3 am 😂. If i could just do it at 11pm then id have this "sleeping normal thing" down🤦🤦.. Hard to shut the brain down and worries away so thank you again for helping sleep!! ❤❤

    Being today is cinco de mayo I was looking for cinco de mayo scary stories and I was hoping you would have one. maybe next year. I'm home cooking myself dinner and can hear the neighbors setting off fireworks and thought listening to you would set the mood.
