    I really feel bad for Noah. There are Noahs everywhere! We need to listen and watch more carefully to our children/grandchildren and their friends! I'm happy Noah never got caught. I hope he made something out of himself and moved past the agony of his grandmother allowing these things to happen to him and at such a young age 😢 this world has becoming a very scary place. Thank you once again Joel. I love listening to you and your soothing voice. Great work once again! Thank you!

      I just got a bad feeling that Noah was going to end himself as he said he didn't need the cigarettes anymore. He had the gun and possibly ammo available. Lots of scenarios with an adolescent with trauma and mental health issues. I sure hope you're right and he went on to have a good life. Just doesn't seem logical that he was never seen again. But anything is possible.

      You guys/gals realize that these stories aren't all, mostly, or even halfway created out of actual, non-fictional, true events...right?! You dont seriously feel bad for "Noah" the character, but for those in our world whose real lives mimic, or similarly pan out in the way that "Noah's" story unfolded, correct? Because if not you needn't feel for those of whom are created out of vividly imaginary creepy pasta and/or Reddit submissions from unhinged minds, fancifully fabricating features for their newest foray into fan-fiction. You're too good of a person to feel bad for those who only exist in a "by proxy" and "common storyline" sort of way. You deserve to not have to waste any of your devoted emotion on fictional characters. Sorry if this seems rude or is somehow so badly structured that it's taken in a negative manner. For that, I preemptively apologize. And, once again, I thank you for your caring and empathetic personality. We need more folk like you in the world. Kudos for being such a great human being. We should all be so loving.

      It's B.S. An experienced hunter wouldn't leave his rifle/shotgun out of reach while actively hunting bears and having already found bear tracks/ droppings.
      At the very least, an experienced hunter would have a high caliber pistol as a backup (10mm at the minimum). His 15 and 17 year old kids would also very likely be armed and trained to shoot.

I mean, dude had his kids sleeping in hammocks like that would stop a bear 😂 his dad didn't seem like too good of a guy to force his kid into going when he didn't want to and treats one kid better than the other so I have to think he's a few fries short of a happy meal

    Joel, you’re one of the few narrators who can make a story told by either a man or woman sound perfectly convincing. You’re voice is incredibly soothing and it’s like velvet covered steel. Both soft and strong, with just enough emotion to make the stories come to life, but not enough to feel melodramatic and contrived.

      I met a lady years ago while traveling to SC on Amtrak. She started telling me about her late husband. The most beautiful and sad part was when she was telling me about missing seeing his boots dirty in the hallway. Her face wasn't sad, but it wasn't happy. She was in the past and I said right then that when I get married that thats it.
      My parents were the same way. Separated after 16 yrs but never filed papers so when my dad died they had been legally married for 51 years. Never remarried. I had never thought with the history between the two how hard my mom mourned his passing until I called her a week after his funeral and she could barely talk because she had been crying for a week.

      Ruins my day

  • @user-digitalfarmgirl

    The tree falling on man story, was the most real & heart breaking story, I've ever heard on any platform. Growing up & then living in the middle of nowhere types of places , on farms & ranches, I related. I have had to administer stitches to my own self at times. Roads became impassable during winter storms, in the place of my childhood. So that story really hit home in it's degree of helplessness, despair & the potential of nature's fury.

    The story with the two 22 yr old women... how was it that her friend, julie, was inconspicuously NOT home. A little sus since julie broke the rules and boundaries... i mean, julie could've orchestrated the entire "TAKEN" scenario and pretended to play the part of a good friend. Just a possibility...

      Not cynical at all. It's the truth. Plus, tho this channel rarely uploads compilations I feel like we've heard the first few several, several times. I don't really listen to other channels like this one. Maybe one, two at most. I don't mind listening to the same story twice but it does come to a point where it's a waste of time.

    I work as a home remodeler a 2 minute walk from cementland, it's absolute trash ghetto area, I check to make sure my car hasn't been stolen again every 15 minutes. It's at the intersection of Riverview drive and Scranton drive in Riverview north county St Louis its very cool looking from the outside but sadly it's all overgrown and been mostly reclaimed my nature. I'll try to get some pics and put them in a live sometime soon. The side that borders Scranton people come dump trash like sofas and couches. I listen to let's read every single day, so I find it super cool when the stories are so local.

      Same. I work in auto body repair five minutes away and we're going to move shop soon thanks to the crack heads cutting the fence for the occasional vehicle with accessible cats. I'm not sure about going to get pictures though. Got stuck waiting for semis before i could turn onto the highway the other day and someone knocked on my window. Scared me so bad i floored it instead of finding out what they were asking for. 😅 I have just enough sense to know I shouldn't linger in this area.

    The amusement park story hit me hard. I was thinking about it from the perspective of the person who strapped the ɓoy into the ride having to live with the kid's death for the rest of their life. The employees of these rides have so much pressure on them to get people buckled in fast and keep the ride moving, pressure from the riders to hurry up and let them ride and very little pay for the responsibility to ensure everyone is safe.

It would take a ninja with supernatural abilities to avoid detection, or to not get shredded by my american bulldog. They can smell a person outdoors 50 yards down the street while in the house. It's annoying most of the time but could save us one day.
