    I gave the Hecklefish keychain to my kid on Christmas for a little extra fun little present. Another kid in Houston airport traveling with is dad recognized it and asked his dad if it was "Hecklefish". The dad asked me, and we hit it off for a minute while waiting to go through customs. It was awesome! Your fans are everywhere, and our family love and support your channel.

    I did it! I just finished watching every episode of the Why Files! It took discipline, dedication, reduced productivity at work, ignoring my family, and a bottle of Visine. I have never done that with a YT channel before. This is definitely my favorite channel. Hecklefish, AJ, the topics, the music, the humor, it's all part of a perfect recipe! So thanks Why Files! Enjoy your well deserved break!

    I absolutely love this channel!!! I don’t know what I’d do without it!! I listen to his shows while I clean the house or cook dinner!! I love the fact that he finds the truth in every story!! I am a believer in the paranormal! And I watch his shows in hopes that one day he will find the proof I so desire to find before I pass on. But it’s very hard to find information you can trust. Whether it be what you want to hear or the truth in the false ones that try to deceive. Please keep doing what you do best! Finding to find the truth for the rest of us!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

    I used to go to a Catholic French school in St.Catharines Ontario with a kid in my 4th grade class in the late 60's, who began getting attacked by a Poltergeist at home.
    I remember teachers whispering among themselves when talking about what was happening to him, and waving the sign of the cross. Was always nice kid, we liked him.
    Eventually Police were called to his home, and even filed unexplainable events in their reports that they'd witnessed for themselves. He left school that spring, and heard his
    family moved to Quebec. That was pretty much the last we'd heard of him, but the events made it into local Police Reports and The St.Catharine Standard newspaper.

    You guys never cease to amaze me. I remember finding you guys from the beginning and was always really impressed with the quality of content that you put out from day 1. I knew I was witnessing something special. I'm happy for you guys and you deserve the rapid growth and positive feedback from everyone. I think the biggest thing that always set you apart were telling the stories as if they were real. And only going over their believability or the credibility of those involved at the wrap-up. And of course Hecklefish is a stroke of genius.

    I love the intro! The production value is great, basically on the level of the movie it references. Fantastic and hilarious.
