    I can't put into words how much I appreciate your style in making these videos - no jumpscare noises, no creepy background music, no screams halfway through the videos that make your heart stop and give you a bunch of instant anxiety and panic. You're honestly the only narrator I could ever listen to and *actually* calm down while listeing to scary stories. Thank you so much for all your hard work and effort 🖤

They’re from Veracruz and that story just broke my heart.. knowing my loved ones could’ve undergone all that pain and trouble for no reason whatsoever is heartbreaking. It’s easier said than done but there needs to be an end to all that madness. How many more lives need to be lost for the sake of money and power.

Police were beating up a teen maybe 13-14 with the end of their automatic weapons. I started to walk over because there was 5-6 of them and this kid was in real medical trouble. I was warned to keep walking.

    November 2023:
    The story at 55:33 - The one with the 2 girls who stayed in an Airbnb in NY City to celebrate their b-days and was told by the owner to NOT look inside the big duffel bag under one of their beds.. I would have NOT left because of what was in it! It’s gross (imo) but I’ve seen shows on TLC and other networks about people’s weird kinks and I’ve seen wayyy more than just one show (yikes!) where adults like to act like babies. They wear ADULT SIZED diapers 😧(with powder added to their bums), onesies and other baby-type clothing, suck on adult sized pacifiers, drink from adult sized baby bottles, buy/make adult sized cribs and playpens that have mobiles and other baby toys in them and well… SO MUCH MORE. Weirdly, these people always have partners who act like their Mommy or Daddy and actually take care of them like changing their diaper 🤢, feeding them their bottles, swaddling them in blankets and even "burping" them…😬, just like one would do with a tiny baby! The partner even talks to them like they are babies. There’s so much more, just use your imagination (maybe not if you want to keep your sanity 😂)! These ADULTS are taken care of exactly like a tiny baby would be! Sometimes it’s not even a s*xual thing… Weirdly, I’ve only seen men acting as the baby. I know it goes both ways but I personally, have only seen men taking on the "baby" roll. One man actually had a beard, a very light and short one, but still! Then, these people get up, take a shower, put on their adult clothes and act like normal adults! Can you imagine the CEO of your company or any large company who acts so smart and powerful in the public’s eye… then acts like a baby at home??? 😂😆🤣 If one of my bffs and I rented an Airbnb and were told to NOT look inside a duffel bag stashed under one of the guest beds.. I would have definitely looked then we would have laughed our butts off for an hour straight! Then, whenever I would see the owner (who lived on the first floor), I would end up making a comment like "goo goo ga ga?" or something similar. I would ask him questions like, "Sir, I lost my binky when we checked in, can you keep an eye out for it and let me know asap if you find it?" or "Sir, can you direct me to a store that sells baby powder nearby?". I wouldn’t plan to say something to him, it would just roll right out of my mouth!
    My point here is that I just DON'T understand how and why so many people, these days, TOTALLY freak out over the dumbest stuff! These women tried to sneak out of their Airbnb at 2:30 in the morning b/c they found adult sized baby paraphernalia in a duffel bag?! I REALLY ENJOY the fact that I am from Gen X!!! I wouldn’t change generations for ANY REASON (if I somehow had a chance to anyway!)!
    I really hope everyone has a
    Happy Thanksgiving 2023 and that you and your loved ones are staying happy and healthy!
    Love from Texas ♥️🤠🌴

    I can’t believe all that man got was 11 years. 11 years, for beating a man to death, with his hands- I was shocked. I realize this wasn’t in the U.S, I just couldn’t believe it…

    Story at 46:18 - The one where the girl has a grocery store employee (who she says looks like Lurch from The Addams Family…) asks her for her cell# and then has a crush on her and follows her around the store when she shops there-
    FIRST of all, when he asked her for her cell#, in the VERY BEGINNING, WHY in the Hell didn’t she just say, NO!? Instead of telling him the TRUTH, that she HAD a BOYFRIEND and was just not interested in dating him, she asked him for his cell# and told him she would add him to her contacts! WTH! She should have grown a spine and told him that she wasn’t interested! She could have even used her boyfriend as an excuse! But no… she asks for HIS number and then gets SO confused as to WHY he kept trying to approach her when she shopped at the store he worked at…🙄 She even had her bff with her when he asked for her number, so she can’t blame it on feeling cornered while she was all alone! I LOVE BEING IN GEN X, SERIOUSLY! I would have told him that I was not interested and may have mentioned that I was in a HAPPY long term relationship, if he didn’t immediately say that he understood. That "weird" dude would have never followed her around the store or looked for her in the parking lot IF she didn’t lead him on by asking for his number! If she would have been HONEST with him from DAY ONE, she wouldn’t have had a problem with him. She even had her GRANDPA go to the store with her to talk to "both" managers about their employee following her around. I GUARANTEE, she NEVER told her Grandpa OR the store managers that SHE asked HIM for his phone # in the very beginning! I have three kids. Two are at Universities and the youngest is a senior in high school and will be graduating in May 2024. My daughter is in her early 20’s. I have raised her from DAY ONE, to stand up for herself! I taught her how to NOT lead boys on (she is gorgeous and is pretty nice to people in general). For ex: a boy kept walking her to a couple of her classes every day in the beginning of her sophomore year in H.S. He took her being nice to him as an invitation to act like they were dating. I had the SAME PROBLEMS when I was in H.S. so I explained to her how to let a guy down easily by letting them know she is not interested in dating them. There were SEVERAL people she went to school with who thought they were dating! Even a couple years later, some people still thought they dated Sophomore year! He was a very good looking guy but she liked him as a friend and wasn’t attracted to him. She definitely learned her lesson there! I was a happy extrovert (and still am..) and that always landed me in SO MUCH TROUBLE when it came to guys. By just being nice, smiling at someone or even laughing with them can make them believe you’re interested in them the wrong way! Now, NOT ALL GUYS act like that but you’d be surprised how many do. It kept happening to me as a young adult (with both sexes) and even after I was HAPPILY married. I HAD to learn to really, REALLY SPEAK UP the moment I noticed someone show that they were interested in me and let them know I wasn’t interested… !!!
    So, my point is… WHY do so many people born AFTER GEN X lack the skills to speak up for themselves AND get scared SO EASILY?! Hey, my kids are Gen Z but the two oldest identify more with Millennials. I love my kids more than life itself and am extremely proud of the adults they have grown into!
    I hope anyone reading this has a
    Happy Thanksgiving 2023 and pray that they and their loved ones are staying happy and healthy!
    Love from Texas ♥️🤠🌴
