You're gonna kick things off tonight. Are you ready? I'm I'm ready, all right. This is from a user named Jico Aragoma. He posted a couple of stories that happened to him in his family's cabin out in woods, and this is one of his stories. When I was very young, I lived up in the densely forested mountains of the Northwest. In those days, my parents still lived together, and I saw my sisters frequently. There are many adventures we had up in those mountains. I recall many hikes, playing in the mud and seeing a lot of deer. My father is a craftsman by trade, a real jack of all trades kind of guy. At the time, we were planning to build a treehouse, but it was never developed beyond the main platform. We had several picnics up on that platform. I do recall one night climbing up there by myself. It was a summer night, just before sunset. Wanted to watch the stars. I was as fascinated by the constellation. As the sun sank below the distant peaks, the first stars came to light, and then the rest followed. It was truly a sight to behold. I sat there for hours, watching the stars drip slowly across the night sky. I was about to head down for the union when I heard strained sounds out in the woods. I strained my eyes to see into the shaded brush between the trees. There was movement. It was slow moving, but it was moving towards me. I could also hear a strained sound, like a sort of pushing rattle. All the hairs on my body stood at attention when I saw the creature. It was a lanky thing crawling on all fours, its limbs bent in an unnatural way, as if it had no bones. It had wild and unkempt hair all over its body. Most terrifyingly, it had massive shimmering eyes that scanned the area. I set wide eyed and shaking at this crawling thing. At that moment, in the house, a light came on. The thing was almost as if it was pulled back into the woods. At that point, I immediately ran inside. Can't live in those mountains anymore. A lot of good memories from those days, but I can never forget what I saw that night. I don't think any of us can wow. So that reminds me of a couple of the previous stories I talked about like a month or so ago, now, like the weird, lanky looking deer creatures with like the spidery limbs and stuff. Yeah, okay, got questions coming in already. I wonder how they could tell it was crawling, and did they describe the face. They do describe the face, because I think it was a little too dark for him to see the face. He just described it as being very hairy, and it looked like it was like kind of like crab walking I guess from what he described it a little bit there towards him, and he could see the eyes that the eyes are glowing or appear to catch all the light and reflect. And of course I am always multitasking here. So he was near a house when this happened, right, because you mentioned the light. He was actually all right. So he had a platform for a uh what's it called treehouse right next to his cabin that he lived at or there vacation and that. So he was up on that platform and the light of the house is right next to him. Basically, why was he up there at that time? Again? He wanted to watch the stars and stargazing. That's when he picked up on some movement. Yeah, then he heard that weird shushing sound it made as it was going towards him. Like a like a three pointer going in or kind of sish, you know, pushing or sush what we like. I said, it must be going like gotcha, and it was. I'm sure he could he hear it stepping on stuff. I mean, he did say that he kind of heard like going through the brambles and stuff, I think, and that tar sorry, someone suggested in comments towards something they asked that YouTube he looked up skin Walkers, So yeah, skinwalker's being a big thing, he said. He did look up that. He wasn't certain that it was just by what he just what he remember seeing and what other people described skinwalker being. Uh so this to me really seeing more like that one creature which was always on the western side of the country and the northwest and stuff like that. So yeah, this might be a different creature altogether. He's looking down at it with vantage point though he's above it, and he sees it down on the ground. Yeah, sees it coming out of the tree line towards him. So there's a tree line, then there's a mountains off in the distance. Yeah, gotcha, And he has an advantage point. He's looking down. He sees this thing coming. Does this thing see him? He thinks, So he says, he describes it as coming towards him, So he thinks that it was definitely sees him coming towards the stand he was in. Yeah, but then once it sees that light, it kind of like pulls back. So somebody inside, assuming a family member or somebody probably going into the kitchen or something. Yeah, it flips on a light in the room, and then it's you said, it's like as if he got pulled. Back physically into the tree line. Yeah, like yanked back with such force as almost as being pulled back. You think got something to do with somebody's asking a good question. Could it have been a person possibly? You know, you know, people are weird. They might crawl out of the woods like that. The only thing that is, you know, I would say he was a younger kid. I don't know if he mentioned an exact age here, but he was definitely younger, and so maybe he's misremembering the glowing eyes, but he described them as being very large and glowing. So it's amazing how people see so well in the dark. Hmmm. I'm wondering too if it was a person, But it seems like you would know. Why would a person come crawling. I guess they're listen, they're trying to really. Sneak up to you. Yeah, he had, Like he said, there was other things that stuck out about it though, they like wasn't very human like, Yeah, he said, describe the arms and legs bending as if there were no bones in them. Yeah, And that it had uh yeah, extragly hair all over it, so maybe they. Were almost like rolled up, you know, like you can't really with your bones. And you said, Harry, Yeah, yeah, you just said that. You use the term, Harry. Like hair everywhere. I believe he described it as being all over the body of the double check that. I like, how we ask you all these questions that may or may not even you would never even know because. You didn't even Yeah, wild and ungimped hair all over its body, not just someting all over its body. Bigfoot was crawling like a really gangly, creepy eat Bigfoot. You think the light could actually hurt it? Or was just afraid of it. That's a good question. I was assuming it was just afraid of there being war. People like, maybe this thing isn't particularly physically capable of overpowering the adult human, but maybe a small child it could take. And the skinwalker seemed like they wanted you. To come to them. Yeah, they would, just thing was sneaking up on him. Yeah, they usually try to get you to come into the woods. Wow, that's pretty creepy, though. It's something you wouldn't forget, that's for sure. You probably you're gonna sit the rest of your lif wondering what the hell did I see? You know, you'll you'll probably never know, all right, See we got. Any more comments? Okay, we're all caught up on the anybody you got any questions any better? You didn't now because we're about to move on. But I think that to me, it's definitely frightening. And I wonder what when he went inside and he told them what he saw, what they thought? What would you say if. Somebody come in the house and they're like, this happened you know there, you're full of it. Well, if it's a little kid, you're probably tell them, oh, you need to go to bed. Yeah, here's sleepy little baby. You wouldn't automatically probably say it was an owl. The gray or the grayhorn owl is just like in Kentucky at the alien sighting. Yeah. Oh, someone said, probably think they were on something. Yeah, maybe I don't. I don't know. It's crazy though. I wonder what time did he say it was? Well, he said it was past dark because he watched the stars come out just past dark. Okay, well it's nighttime then, yeah, and uh, he is during the summer, so it'd be later in the day. Yeah, sun takes a walk yep, yep, so it's late. But who knows what time exactly. I don't know. I'll be curious. Didn't seem like it meets all the criteria of skinwalker though, from my expert opinion of hearing three stories from me of skinwalkers. Yeah, like I said, to me, it sounds more like the other thing, oh, which people just call it. Not deer. Yeah, the not deer. That's the greatest story in the history of mankind. It's not a deer, that's all, you know, right, could be anything else. We'll move on. That was a good one. That was a good way. That's a good way to start it off, somebody said crazy stuff happens. At two am. I always thought it was like three am. Was that hour? You know, crazy stuff can happen at any time. I think that's what I'm learning from this, all these stories, and I've got one that shows you crazy stuff can happen anytime. Yeah, we're live across eight platforms right now, so if you want to comment a long feel free to do so. Some people already are and I'm got to go ahead and get into the next one. Sounds good. This story is called That's My Baby. This isn't actually really old Reddit post. It's eleited. Yeah, it's been deleted for several years, but the story is absolutely crazy. So this is called That's My Baby. My husband and I were at the supermarket and our baby was being especially fussy, so we took the baby on a quick drive, the motion of which usually calms the baby down. It took only about ten minutes to settle her down, and I was in the store but unsure how much longer i'd be in there. There's no reception inside, so my husband was the one doing this with the baby, so he's the one driving around trying to get the baby to sleep. Very common thing to use a car. People do that to. Get drive around get the baby to fall asleep. So it says he pulled back up into the parking lot to wait for me. It was an unseasonably nice day, so he took her in the car seat, and he had the carrier and whatever to set on one of the benches outside of the store. He took a business call and sat down with the baby and the carrier. A woman, well dressed in mid thirties and an average height approach to them. It's not uncommon for people to approach that. To look at the baby, she is cute. She's got big rosy cheeks, soft wisp of gold hair, and the most adorable toothless grin. And she looks even cuter when she's taken a nap. But her nap schedule was paramount. So my husband saw the woman approaching and being prepared to talk and converse with the baby like people often do. He was prepared to tell her that she couldn't and the baby was taking a nap. The lady walked up and asked if she could hold the baby, And this is at this point in time, he said, just like he would do the baby's taking a nap. She act like she was going to walk away for a second, and this is when things got interesting. She turned back around with nonchalant, great confidence, and before he even finished the sentence explaining that again that she was napping and not to be touched, she picked up the carrier and started walking off. He was in shock for that moment, not fully believing someone would be ballsy enough to do this, something so sinister like this and plain daylight. He said, excuse me, can you put her down? His panic mounted, but she remained calm the entire time, which was strange. He was panicking, she was calm. He called after her a little bit loud, repeating the same thing, put her down, come back with her. The lady started to walk away more briskly than she had approached. He ran at this point to catch up with her, trying to grab the carrier out of her hands, finally resulting to restraining her arms, and the woman starts yelling help, he's taking my baby. Please call nine poet one help me. She was kicking him in the shin and pulling a pink bottle of pepper spray. Out of her handbag. Of course, no one in the parking lot was clocking or realized what had happened earlier before this interaction, and assumed immediately that he was a kidnapper, a lone man in a deadpool T shirt versus a tiny, well dressed woman. Immediately, a man knocked my husband to the ground and was holding him down. He could hear bystanders encouraging the woman to file a police support and call the police, but she was doing a very convincing job of acting shaken up, insisted she just wanted to get home and get away from there. My husband was in a raw state at panic, realizing the entire parking law had banded together to inadvertently facilitate the kidnapping of our daughter. He was begging and pleading with them, but nobody would listen. They just kept screaming at him. The jig was up and he needed to remain laying there because the police would be there soon, and how could he do such a thing like this, terrorizing a young mother. My husband finally had the idea to show them family photos on his phone, but too panicked to think clearly. The way he manifested this was by shouting, I have pictures of the baby on my phone. Of course, everybody interpreted this as him having some strange talking pictures of the photos of the baby, or something worse. Possibly. I guess it was at this point that a man, and I can't really entirely blame him for this, because considering what he thought my husband was doing, kicked my husband as hard as he could in. The ribs, which ended up breaking several ribs. At this point, I was coming out of the store and I thought that he was being robbed by these people. I was yelling for security so panicked, my chest constricted, I couldn't even get out of sound. It was then that I realized that he did not have our baby with him. Then I looked over and I saw she was being held by a woman. I was relieved. I thought maybe the woman intervened to move our daughter out of harm's way while my husband was being robbed. She was walking away to get help. I couldn't find a security guard outside in the near area, so I ran up to these people holding that were holding my husband down, and I was waving, waving, waving my wallet repeatedly at them and tell them, take whatever you want, please, take whatever you want, just leave us alone, please, one of the men holding him down said something like, lady, we need to wait for the police to deal with him. I was so confused. Why would the muggers have to call the police? I said, what do you mean? What are you talking about? I made out someone saying something like he tried to abduct that woman's child. I didn't understand. I was sure i'd misheard them. My husband never heard a child. We have four kids. If he was going to commit a crime, bringing home another kid would be the last thing he would do. I kept trying to understand what they were all saying. There were so many voices coming from everywhere. Then suddenly it all clicked. I looked around for the woman who had the baby carrier, and she was already halfway across the parking lot. I went into a total ballistic tiger cub mode. Literally leaped out of my heels and spread it across the parking lot. I'm not a UFC fighter or anything. Heck, I've never even taken ay self defense class, so all I could think of doing was grabbing the lady by her hair and I squeezed her face with my other hand. It didn't do much. She was starting to get away even as I grappled with her. Amazingly, none of the other bystanders had yet to connect that my husband was telling the truth and this woman was trying to leave with our baby. I yanked on her hair as hard as I could, and that was enough to make her drop the car put the carrier down on the ground. I was scared and surprised that I actually didn't know what to do, so I threw myself on top of the carrier and covered the entire thing like a blanket. The woman, at this point quickly left the area. Not even one person tried to stop her, even though she was clearly leaving without the child she claimed was hers, which would be pretty damn incriminating if I'd watched all that. Within the next couple of minutes, the police arrived. After that, they were still bystanders who claimed that my husband was trying to kidnap the baby. The police, to my whoror, assumed that she must have not had bad intentions, and the first questions they asked me after getting her description of the lady was things like maybe you shouldn't press charges on her. They were still blacing the plame with my husband. Here's a small sample of what they're saying. Do your husband and the baby not look alike? Is there a chance she thought that he was actually taking the baby and she was trying to intervene. Could your husband been doing something violent? Maybe it made her feel compelled to take the baby? Did she seem confused? They spent more time verifying that the baby was actually mine than concerning themselves with the fact that the baby was not actually hers. My husband at this point called us brother who worked in an office with a lot of lawyers, and we connected with one asap on the scene, who gave us the priceless advice to get every officer's badge name and to request copies of the store security tapes right away, and to escalate the complaint higher up the chain. Didn't seem like they were taken as very serious at this point. The officers finally, after much debate and many questions on our part and request, we had a reason to believe that we were being taken serious, and we headed home. We both just shook and cried until we had to go get our other kids from school. My husband is seeding with rage and grappling with the fear of helplessness from how little he was able to do, and multiple cracked ribs on top. Of this from the man who kicked him. I guess to the officer's credit, they did asked if we wanted to press charges against the man, but considering the man was convinced that he was stopping to kidnap it at that time, and he even stayed after to talk to the police and apologized several times. When the truth became clear, my husband declined to press charges. Amazingly and frustratingly, there were still people well who stuck around to talk to the police, giving us dirty looks and still convinced that the husband, my husband was involved with kidnapping. I even heard one man tell the police they get CPS involved to verify the baby is actually ours. Oh lord, that's messed. Uh yeah. After the flea market one last week, I was like, oh, I gotta I gotta share this one. That's creepy. So we talked about last week, right, that's like it's like a similar scenario ish very but I don't think the husband did anything wrong that Like the last week when we talked about the flea market one, the guy was not paid attention with his kid, right. Yeah, he was followed of the year of material. In this case, the woman just comes up, takes the kid and just starts heading off. That's so crazy. Yeah, when I read this one, I was like, dang, this is a this is a crazy story that you're right though. That takes like a lot of like who just walks in there? That's the crazy person's thing to do? Or I guess it was outside the store. Who just walks up outside the store and does that? But I can see, Okay, so obviously I've made a lot of babies in my day. I can see the situation that they're talking about. When somebody's like approaching the baby, like I'm gonna what a cute baby, I'm gonna talk to the baby, you know whatever, maybe even maybe touch a baby's hair or something like people do, and then to just take off with it. That's just it. That's just crazy, man. I just I can't even that how you could react in that situation any better than what they did reacting. I mean, like you know they were this was like a nightmare scenario. But it's so crazy that it kind of shuts down all your ability to process the information. It's like, nobody, this is this nuts. Nobody's gonna be that nuts just walk up and pick up a kid and go. They even talked about how and everybody's comment and long live Hey Tory, Hey everybody else. We got things, will go ahead and throw them up here. This woman is insane, someone said, nightmare situation. Someone said, then someone those comments. At least that got the baby back. Yeah, so I could really feel for the husband because you'd be in a panic state at that point in time and you'd be like, I've got photos and it wouldn't come across like genuine that's best messed up. I think, though, there's a chance you might side with the woman if you didn't know. Yeah, I mean, it happens a lot of times where like you know, you got there's a one random guy acting a little crazy, and then you got to put together for one there assume yeah, he's the one that's crazy. Because the idea that someone is that nuts but they'll just walk up, calmly, pick up the carrier and start walking off with it is infatilable. You wouldn't You wouldn't be able to believe that someone could do that, but apparently they can. You wouldn't be able to believe it. You could almost picture this plane out in front of you. Oh. Absolutely, yeah, you were holding the guy down. Call the police, Call the police, and. While meanwhile she's just kind of sneaking off across the parking lot with the carrier. I gotta tell you, I don't care how relieved I would be after I was still press charges and it's that guy that kicked me. Wow, what do you think you listening out there? Like, would you press charge against the guy that thought he was doing right? Luke Wuid? Yeah? I mean it truly did get several broken ribs. That would be terrible. But can you see, I guess better way? Word? Can you feel the emotions that must have been going through this man as he went home? Yeah, a feeling of hopelessness. Right, we's men, we's tough. Yeah, all jokes aside, that would be a terrible feeling, like, hey, this is my job to be the protector. Yeah, and yeah, that's crazy that I honestly didn't expect that story. That story is nuts. I'm just thinking, like I keep coming back too, you know what. Right, So when she came out the store, that scene had to be something that you could never dream of happening. You see these people surrounding your husband and you don't know what's going on there. You think that he's just being robbed, right, And you see this lady off in the distance kind of walking away with the baby like, and you got to like figure out what's going You have to process information very quickly here. Yeah, and that's too much. That's too much for people to process. So that's why it was like she took a second before she even realized what was happening. You know, this happened much faster than you know, we all laid it all out to by phar. Yeah, oh man, that's crazy. Yeah, we got a lot of people listening live. One looks like Twitter is the most people on YouTube. We got people on every platform right now. Somebody said, now I would say keep the woman there. Too, just in case. Well, the thing is so I think what happened was this lady. May never went in the store. Who knows, right, she could have just walked up from outside. I assume this altercation took place somewhere on the mid to the end of the parking lot. She just kind of sneaks off. Nobody at this point was probably understanding what was going on. I'm sure it was confusing for every everybody involved. Yeah, you got a lot of people, Yeah, trying to process all that. Yeah, I and each other. Probably they're probably even more altercations that we don't even know about. Afterwards, was like, oh, where'd she go? You know, it's like, yeah, tell you what it makes me want to do. Most of these stories make me do that. Yeah, that's a scary story. That's scarier than the flea market one. Yeah, that was Maybe it's defense and it can't even process. Anything, you know. Yeah, that is definitely worse. Everybody banned against the guy. That'd be so terrible. It's just the worst. That's so crazy. Well, I was excited for you to hear that one. The look of disgust on your face was there, and you'd press charges. So yeah, screw that guy, going to hell? You pressing charges? All right? Man, you're up next. Mine is also going to take place in it like a parking situation. This is gonna be in a parking garage here, all right, So she she rights this. This happened to me when I was nineteen. Me and my friends decided to hang out at the local mall on the busier side of town. We shopped all day and stayed in the food court until they closed. The mall was one of the latest operating businesses in Towns, so we got out. It was basically a ghost town outside. I believe it was close to midnight. I was one of the only people in the group with a car. Most of the others rode bikes or had a parent or Frint picked them up. My car was parked on the third story of the parking garage. It was mostly empty, and I assumed most of the cars still left belonged to the night staff and security. As I climbed hire, the cold, dim garage began to creep me out. I defensively crossed my arms as I got closer to my car. Slowly, I began to notice a sound. It was a distant sobbing. Getting closer to my car, the cries grew louder, and I became concerned and upset. As I passed uh passed by my car to investigate the sound. It seemed like it was a lost child or something. It came to this turn where the ramp continued up to the fourth floor, and peeking around the corner, I saw a big work van idling. I scared. I kept peeking. I saw a pair of bla standing behind the van extremely still. This is when I noted something about the crying I was hearing. There was another sound mixed in. It was an occasional pop or clicking noise, almost like a midscal firecracker or bubble wrap. I recognized the sound and my blood ran cold. It was a microphone pop. The sound came at the start and end of a recording. The crying sound was looping, and it was coming from the van. That's when I gasped and ran to my car. I heard the van start rolling forward and soon shift into gear. I barely made it into my car and out of the garage. The van followed me for almost an hour as I circle around town trying to lose though. They eventually gave up and I made it home. Me be mindful of where you park and who you're with. Buildings have security cameras the only help after you've gone missing. These buildings are perfect place for bad people to find their victims. Let me start off by saying this I love and I'm not trying to take away from the story. I love how we're randomly playing music those of you listening, We're randomly playing music. There's no rhyme or reason. It's just a loop of gary Ish music. And there were multiple times I'm listening to that and the music's dropping. When you get it's like everything was timing perfectly. And I know when you're reading it, you don't know you're in this sun. But it was crazy how that timed out. I'm sure people listen he'd picked up on that too. It was it was, it was crazy. I know iticed in your story is a lot. Yeah, it's like, how the heck is the time out like that? All Right? We got some people commenting on sounds like the beginning of a Saw movie. Yes, that did. Were they luring them? Yes, they were, for sure. Yeah, that's I'm assuming they saw her coming up by herself. But she was gonna go up there anyway, right, cause's where her car was. Well, but this was but they described it as being up on the fourth floor. She kind of went past her car and looked around up the ramp to the next level where the sound was coming from. So they were leading her past her car. This sounds like I was planned for sure, definitely. Yeah, I'm assuming they saw her inside the place. They probably knew she had a car out there, and then they saw her coming up and they started playing that sound. What was the sound again? It was a crying child, a crying child. But she could hear the micro like the that was recording at the end, the little sound where Sally loops over sometimes. And the creepy part is so she has a view straight on view of the vehicle and you can see the legs on the other side of it. Assume to be an adult not moving. Yeah, this is a parking garage, right, Yeah, parking garage at least a four story one. And then you know, you know the capital city here in this state, you go out there at night, it's dangerous. I do. I go all the time to the baseball games and stuff in downtown. Yeah, it's if you're law alone at night late. I can see where it'd be concerning. Yeah, and you know, there's quite a bit of shootings up there, and so, yeah, you could see this being like a dangerous part of town to be in at night by yourself. She said it was a ghost town usually, but that big of a parking garage, it's definitely a bigger town. And she's just used to being a big city, so she kind of let her guard down there bit. And it's definitely not something you want to do. It is scary, and that could definitely this definitely seems like a real story to hill with the homeless people. Yeah, they probably are some there, sure that they I just can't get over. I guess the person's standing there. And she she's very well aware though that how bad of a situation this is beforehand, So it's. Yeah, she was creeped out beforehand, before she even heard these sounds. And she brings up which which was what I was just thinking, even about the security cameras a comment she made, what was it again that those are only gonna be good. After after you've been abducted and and then there's only so much help. Yeah, there's not somebody usually just sitting at a parking garage scaredy security camera, I. Would assume so. And I don't know how tall it was, I don't know. The fourth floor is the highest. You're far away down from the people working on the first floor letting you in and out. If there's somebody there doing that. Yeah, they're not gonna hear anything go on up there. Makes what you're saying. Next up, power be in a parking garage here next months, goodness, some baseball games in Indianapolis, watching the Indians, and I'm gonna think of that. Oh yeah, we're gonna we're gonna be up there for a convention in August. So yeah, cosplay convention. Yep, Well that's even scary. You don't know what you're gonna get into. Yeah, you won't know terror until you see a person dressed up as an anime character coming at you. Yeah, nights, all jokes aside. It seem like they've probably done this before. Definitely, it definitely seemed like something that they had had success with playing this audio. That seems like someone has deliberately been planning this, probably done it before, uh and gotten away with it, which is the real terrifying thing, because these people still got away. She just lost them. Now they're still out there. All right. I got the next story. This is called Walmart Stalker. I guess it goes along with the theme that we've set tonight, which is extremely creepy. For a bit of context, I'm a twenty two year old female, five foot two and about one hundred and twenty five pounds. My mother is forty five five foot nothing it would blow over in the wind. We both look much younger than our actual ages, and due to having small statures, we tend to have run ins with creeps because it tends to attract creeps. I tend to carry a small arsenal on me at all times, pepper spray, taser, Swiss arma knife, and etc. I tend to be pretty confident that I can handle myself. That's what I'm trying to say. Don't judge because we live at a big city and I'm a small girl. This particular night was the worst we've experienced with creepers so far. My mother and I were grocery shopping at our usual walmart. It was later on in the day, around seven pm, something we tried to avoid because, as we said before, we have a run in with creepers we tend to. We just pulled into the parking lot and began our trek. Inside, we spotted five young men older than myself was still young, standing outside of are laughing near the front doors. I pay it no mind when they glance at me and my mom, and when we walk inside to grab the carts, the men all head inside now and I shrug it off, but keep a mental note of their faces. I tend to be on the paranoid side. We head inside, moving straight for the grocery section. As we shop, I keep noticing two or three of the five men are in each aisle that we go to. Alarm bells start to go off, but I pushed the paranoia aside and just keep my head high as we walk. Most of the time, confidence puts the creepers off. I make sure to go down a few random aisles to test. Sure enough, my test prove positive, as they were always. There in those aisles too. Well. My mom starts to notice as well the more aisles we go down, and her hands squeezes mine and a warning is she shoots one of the men a very bad glare. We stop in the cereal aisle. She tended to still be mama, despite that I'm a grown woman. The guy who's now moved on about two feet from our cart just glances over and smirks at her. He's tall, lanky, with short, dark hair partially hidden under a ball cap and a pointed rat like face. Mom just narrows her eyes unnerved at this point as a response, and she looks over at me and shoots me in an unsure glance. I shrug this off before moving the grab I box off the shelf a little whiles away. The hair on the back of my neck at this point begins to suddenly stand up as I turn around and I see yet another guy has walked up. Another one of the guys. This one is blonde, shaggy, oily hair hanging on from his chin, with his hands tucked in a gray reflective material hoodie look like a punisher hoodie. He's staring up at the boxes, but a smirk is on his face and he directly stands on my path, right in front of me. My stomach flips. I grip my teeth as I snap excuse me. I try to go around him, but he just moves again, right back into my path. I glare at him now, trying to communicate with him with my facial expression that I'm not finding his antics funny, and my mom seems to notice this, comes to my rescue and pushes the cart directly between the two of us, the man and I, and she says to me, ready, I nod, and he takes the hint to move on, now smiling with yellow teeth as he nods to us. Mom only glares, grabbing my arm and hustling us to another aisle. Again and again, we run into these guys, and once we finish shopping, I'm afraid they might try to follow us outside, so we begin roaming all over the store, taking different routes and aisles. We seem to lose them after a while, and we both feel relaxed, Figuring they finally gave up. We head to the check out our Walmart, having a self checkout line made for grocery trips. I mean, we start checking ourselves out. Halfway through unloading our items. I get that hair standing up feeling again as I turn and I notice at the land of the right of us. As you get, it's the same five guys, this time all of them. My stomach drops, eyes moving to my mom, who stares at them with white eyes and her eyebrows raised. Trying to shake it off. We take our sweet time ringing things up. We figure, seeing as the guys had no more than five to ten items between them and. We have a full cart, they would surely move faster than us. Wrong. It seems no one else had decided to check out in our length so they could go as slow as they wanted, and oh boy did they. For the next ten what felt like at least ten minutes, they just sat there and watched us that we were bringing our groceries up, and. Every now and then they would ring a random item up. My mom grabs my arm and we share a look. I shake my head, starting to get freaked out as. My mom, starting to panic, grabs her phone and calls my dad and her state of panic. However, she turns and wonders a few feet away. Not her best moment, she admits, And when I turn to bring out the last few items of all, cab guy is standing right there by me. At this point, we stare at each other. He had a gross stare on his face with messed up teeth. I dropped the chicken in the back before reaching out the last item, ringing it up. He's still partially glaring at me, but I'm just remanding with my eyesight down to the card. At this point, Mom, now off the phone, hurries back over only to see the ball cap guy standing there while the other four sit on the bench. Located three feet away, all watching us. Ball Cap guy simply takes out the empty gatorade bottle he's been holding and chucks it into the trash canned by the register, which broke our eye contact before he goes to sit back down with all his friends. Keep in mind, they had a trash can right by their register, but made it known to throw it clearer to ours. Mom and I, not knowing what to do, start fiddling around, hoping they'd be impatient and leave. Nope, as we continue at this point to pay and get our receipt, there still there. So Mom grabs my arm and steers me towards customer service, telling that my dad told us to have security walk us out. The guys move and walk out once we head over there, and I feel relieved they finally left. The lady at customer service where we're amazing and very understanding and stood with us the entire time waiting for security, A big man with a calm and confident persona came over to take descriptions and said he reviewed the cameras he checked the doorways. When he came back, he told us, as we were staying in the customer service that he found five men matching their descriptions hanging out around the. Front door as if they were waiting for something, he said. The minute they saw him, they took off and he promised to walk us to our car and let the officer outside know. What was going on. We thanked him and the ladies and we thankfully made it to our car with no problems and haven't seen those men again. So those creepy ass guys who stalked to us at Walmart, I just hope we never ever see them again. There is a serious douchebaggy behavior on their bunch of creeps. Yeah, it definitely seems to be very blatant, just just trying to It kind of seems to just literally trying to creep them out, mess with them. It does seem like that. I mean, maybe they had worse intentions, but almost seems like they were just being it. Yeah, a bunch of ass hats and just trying to gross them out and creep them out. They could it up to worse, I mean more likely they could, man, and you know, it was a good thing that they got security to walk them out. It's weird that like half of our more than half of our stories have been in like a parking lot of some sort of major place. Well, I brought this up. Somebody said, it's very unnervous situation. Yeah, I couldn't even read it. It's so unnerving. But everybody has a local Walmart. I feel like, like every time I go to Walmart, I feel like I see some odd people that could meet this. Description, especially back when it used to be twenty four hours. Yeah, they had nothing. That's twenty It's not twenty four hours anymore. Yeah, you definitely couldn't. They said it was what seven pm? Yeah, you're right, the people late at night. Yeah, I don't know. I could feel for this story. That's why I shared it. It was definitely a creepy one. It's very creepy because this is supposed to happen at any Walmart in the country. It could happen anywhere. I don't know the whole timeline because it, you know what, it seemed like a very long time, Like they're literally trying to buy time going around the store, and these guys are still on every aisle making sure they stand close to them, just doing very creepy stuff. Yeah, you know, you got those people used to hang out there all night long doing weird stuff, and. So, yeah, people used to hang out of the parking lot all the time these walmarts. So yeah, that's definitely just douche baggy behavior and really gross. And you think they had big trucks. I guarantee, you guarantee it. We gotta get some heat on that one, an't I. Yeah, everyone's gotta get canceled sometime. Yeah, that might do it. That might well. I see what they say. People are saying, all guys know how creepy moments like this are. They tried to avoid. The ones who don't are very creepy. Yeah. I think as a man or as a person, even you often realize I could come across really strange. Oh, it's acting the worst. It's the worst when you accidentally keep bumping into somebody at Walmart or something or someplace like that. It's like, I'm not stalking you. I just have to get this too. But it always comes across weird and e if you don't want it to be, or like I feel weird out running into people over over again. I'm just like, I don't want to see this person again. I'm gonna look like a creeper. Yeah I do that now. I still can't avoid sometimes having to go somewhere. I guess I go to Walmart once a year now it is. Ever since it's the cart became a thing. Yeah, I got addicted to that and I only use that now. I think the thing I can really picture here is it really stands out to me is this checkout, Like how long they're these guys are taking to check out, like no items? Yeah, yeah, you're not gonna get okay. So like once you hit a certain time at Walmart, there's like nobody around that's going to help you. Yeah, or even if there's also no scenario where there's so many people around, nobody's gonna help you. But if you hit a certain time, I could see what they're saying. I don't know how big their talent is. I don't remember what they said, but you're just gonna be left hanging to fend for yourself. So it was actually she did call her husband, but it was a good idea to go to that self. That customer service. Yeah, those that's definitely like the time you need. It, because what would happened They just would have went out the door, like kept going. You know, it could have been really bad, or it could just been them creeping on some more parassing them always to a car or it could have gone really, really bad. This is definitely their best decision ever was to go to that customer service. Yeah, sound like they had some helpful security and it sounded like you end up having cops outside. So yeah, you're reading the story, but I think the point God came across Walmart's Walmart. Is very creepy and scary. Is that all of our stories for going to your person one? I think? So? Yeah? Yeah, that we're up to the night personal one. Okay, so let's go ahead. Let's let's do this. Let's play a video. We'll come back and pick our favorite story so far, then we'll go into your personal one. Sounds good. This This is a clip that is from one of your favorite movie. It's one of your favorite scenes of movies. Luke. I've known you for a really long time, and I know this is one of your favorite movie scenes. So we'll watch this, we'll come back and pick what our favorite story of the night was. You're holy back, No, so does every guy have to go through all us? Just find out your name, try ask you from me. You know what's weird? I was actually going to look up that scene yesterday. I was it popped into my head and it was involved with something I was doing. I was gonna look it up. I was gonna send it somebody, but then I got busy, I didn't have time, and I forgot to do it. I love how I just. Repeated of the story of the story in the captions of the night. I just double typed it. I'm gonna ever gonna change it either. I don't really care. Somebody said, that's how the guys that Walmart thought they looked. Don't imagine leaving Walmart and you saw that, you know what? Hey, Anne love about that scene. All those kids cheering them on to fight. Those kids don't know that he's blind. They also don't know that he's daredevil, and they don't know she's an electra or whatever. As far as they know, this is just some guy about ready beat up this woman in their playground. It does a make much sense. And then also the first part where he throws the can up in the air, Yeah, that thing was up there forever and it lands perfectly into his hand. Again, Like, what do you think the airtime on that was five seconds? I think it is five seconds at least several seconds. And weird. Yeah, I need to actually do the calculations of how far up he threw that. I don't know, but I love I knew you'd love that scene cause on this particular time, I could see your face. I don't think anybody watching could, but I can behind like the scenes down there because I'm producing it, And just the immediate look on your face when this scene started was priceless. I'd like it, Like, I didn't know that was what you were going to do, but as soon as I saw, I was like, this is the exact scene I was going to said to somebody yesterday. So it was super weird. I don't know, I think the most and I didn't get it on there. The most creepy part is I don't remember if it's this direction earlier when he just walks by and she's like nearby any news. Yes, that that happens in scene prior to this, Like he's just like because he reoganizes her smell or something like that. I guess, Yeah, super weird. Also, like his hair never gets messed up. Where what happened that rain scene? I need to find the rain scene. The rain scene, his hair is perfectly the same. It's like in a down part and he's just like in a sith. He's had like four cans of Aquinet on his hair or something to keep it. Who's the bad guy in that movie? That he that he beats Bullseye? There's another guy at the end, king be Kingpin. Who played that. What's his name? Michael Clark Duncan. What's his name? Yeah, Michael Clark Duncan, great actor. Yeah he was, Yep, he just cleared. Did he just like slide under them to kick out the back of his leg kneecaps? And that's how it ended. That looks so painful, like if he's thinking about like, you know, it's really how it would end. Yeah. Yeah, you're both your knees blown out by something. Really a movie typically ends. No, that movie is not like a tipic movie. So would you agree with me? That's your favorite movie ever? Your favorite scene? It's up there? All right, let's go to the people. Somebody's saying that they liked the That's my Baby story. Yeah, that one is good. I mean it's not good, but I guess you feel bad saying good. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, somebody likes your parking lot parking garage story. That was a good one. Yeah. Uh, I don't know. I don't know. I like the first one too. I wish I could have heard more details about that thing crawling on the ground. The three stories in a row there, they were all realistic things that definitely happened all the time across the entire country, and they're all terrifying. Yeah, you know, kids being adducted or almost adducted, people being almost adducted at a parking garage, or creep said at Walmart, and you know, those are all stories that are just terrifying, and they're all right. I'm I'm kind of a stickler for monsters and ghosts and stuff like that. I like those stories a lot. So that's why I really liked that first story too. Yeah, if I had to pick a personal favorite one, I think it would probably be the parking garage with the guy in the van and that that spooky you know recording of the Yeah, that to me is just like something that was scary creepy reading it. When I first read it, I was like, oh my god, I felt creeped out in my house. Yeah, I feel creeped out listening to it, Like put myself in this situation. But I really couldn't grasp I guess myself in that situation, but with the the baby one at the beginning, like I felt like I could be in that guy's position. Oh yeah, and you'd be so helpless, it'd be the worst. Oh yeah, that was crazy. So, Luke, let's segue to the end here. You've been telling me last couple of weeks that your garage, you've been experienced some pretty freaky stuff. So it's not just me. Jack had seen some stuff out there, and you bet our dad you wouldn't think that he's a very superstitious person. Yeah, probably not know. He has definitely seen some stuff out there, and he says he sees it every day. It's not just once or twice, it's every day. And it happens pretty consistently every time me and Jack are out there doing work out there in the shop. But it happens during times of the day where you know, a lot of times you don't hear about ghostly things happening, and it's broad daylight. One of the first times that happened, I was like sitting by the by the door. So there's a big bay garage doors and then we have a door, like two doors that open up or like describe it to me. Here. They look like a barn door. They come together and they close when they oh yeah, yeah, okay, and then we have a regular door right beside it. I was sitting right there and I heard someone mumbling outside, and I've heard footsteps in the gravel out by the bay door. I was like, oh, maybe it's you know, one of our brothers or something showing up. So I opened the door, was going to say hey, and I opened the door. Look out there's no one there and the sounds have stopped. I was like, that's weird. So I didn't say think much of it, you know, I just thought I was just ye know, wherever I heard someone next door or something like that. Well, then a week or so later, it was actually exactly a week later, because we're about like back out there working again, and uh, I hear it again, and this time, you know, I quickly opened the door because I was like, well, someone's definitely walking right outside that door. And then no one there again. And then Jack at this point, he's sitting across the shop. He's just finished working on a pin, and uh, he looks up and he says, look, there's someone looking in that bay door, right now the barn door. So I grab a there's a piece of metal there, a little piece of angle iron. I grab it, fling off of the door, and there's no one there. Jack saw a person looking right through the door, like looking through like where the door comes together. Other's like gap, Yeah, like did he see an eye? Like what was he seeing? Yeah, he could see someone like bending down looking and you know out that door in one second flat, there's no time for a person to get away. Then the dad says, and he says, yeah, see it every day. There's always someone on the other side of that door. Besides that, we for some other things out there, things we can't explain in any way, shape or form. Uh yeah, obviously obviously we can't explain that either. But uh we've heard things that the only way I can describe it is things some sort of creature. It sounds like a dog barking at first, but then it also sounds like voices like close or off the distance or close close by, like just outside when you go outside, and I sometimes you'll hear them. They sound like dogs, but then you can hear a voice saying something like come back and stuff like that. I've also heard things on the roof. Now that could be attributed to anything, like you know, a raccoon or something could get on that roof and move around. But sometimes these things sound heavy and. Walking, like describing me by walking walking light walking across the top of the roof. Yeah, And we never fail figure that. I never really figured that. I've been out there at night and I've heard that that usually when I hear stuff like that. Besides that, we've also heard what we've noticed. Our neighbors are our immediate neighbor's yard. They have a security light. That security light faces one side of our garage motion detected or yeah, yeah, motion's detective light, and their light comes on all the time. And if you could look out the window, there's nothing in their yard. We don't know why that motion light keeps getting turned on. There's no branches swaying in front of it. There's nothing walking that we can see, but it comes on constantly. Usually when we were out there for a little bit with just he's coming on very time. So you can tell on when you're inside that it comes on, yeah, yeah, because it got into their window or something that Yeah, we got our back window faces the garage and you can see when that light comes on, just come on. You can't see anyone out there or anything out or if you're outside, you see that. You're in the back of the garage. There's a window facing it, and you can't see anything out there. We have no idea what any of this is. Uh, but the creepiest is the thing on the other side of the door. That's the only way we could describe it as something on the other side of that door that walks around and peeks in. You know what we gotta do, right, We got to get a camera on the inside pointing towards the door. We got to get a camera on the outside, I mean down towards the entry the door. Al sudden, you set up audio recording out there because you can hear like people talking sometimes by that door, and like, no one's outside, Like I've gone out there, I've checked them in the neighbors yards. There's no one out there. Someone asked, are you close enough to trigger the light? No? No, you're we're usually inside and it triggers and you can see out in there. You are. You don't see stuff like looking in the you don't se anything creepy going off the window it's just literally at the entrance of. The scarage, the bay door entrance. Yeah. Oh, you got to get some cameras set up there. Yeah, it's super weird. Super cheap too. You could do that. You could have cameras set up in. A couple days. I got I actually got a couple security cameras. I need to set them up. I just have not been doing it yet. Oh you got it now. Like I said, it happens every day and any hour of the day. More to come on this. We got to get this going. Well, maybe I'll get some videos right the next side we do this. Yeah, yeah, dang, that's creepy though. Have you ever experienced it? Looking in well? Uh so, the way we have our workshops, it up. All the tools that I use are facing away from the bay door, the big barn doors. So I'm usually like sitting closer to the door that leads outside, but I'm looking the other way because I'm sitting on a stool or something. Gotcha. But Jack his tools face the other way. Yeah, so like if he's sitting down, he sees out that way. Gotcha. The hunted girl, Joe, we got other hundred workshop. Yeah, so let me ask you one more thing. So, I don't know if Jack can explain this in further detail or not. How tall is the thing that's peering in. You said it seems like it's bent over. It seemed like an adult sized thing, my adult size, especially by the south of the footsteps and the gravel, like this is a probably a medium to heavy set built person walking in the gravel. You gotta get this cameras up. What are you gonna do if it's actually just a person? Uh well, that would be terrifying in its own right. Yeah, but yeah, we don't know. We'll guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Yeah. So you've tried to get there out that door as quick as possible, though every time something happens. Like like I'm sitting in stool literally right next to that door. I could get out that door one second. Is there a quick escape to get away from that? Like that be so easy to do? Or not close to that door now be. Attached to your house or off your house or what it's off my house, but on the one side of the fence that you can't you know, go through unless you've vaulted. And then my house is like kind of like positioned up and to the right, so it's like a tunnel, a fence on one side, my house on the other, coming towards the barn door of that garage. If you were right there at that door, you would have to run down probably like fifty sixty feet and before you get away from that. My ability to see you so creepy. Yeah, more to come on this one. Yeah. I wish I would say I'm excited for you, but yeah, I'll just say it. I'm excited. I don't want to experience what I'm excited. It's creepy. I'm curious that you get those cameras going to what will be Yeah, and like I said, both people have in Canadas with me, Jack and Dad, we've all seen it or experienced it. Oh that was a as. I'm glad you shared that. I think everybody is waiting in suspense. Now what happens next? I certainly am. We'll see, I'll get I'll get some sort of recording of folks. I'll also try to record some audio from another thy. Yeah, you have to show me what kind of cameras you have. I'm curious. I use a bunch of stuff. So I got ring cameras that ring. Okay, I use WYS. There's there's plenty of stuff you could easily do this. Yeah, I'll get something rigged up. Think you get something rigged up to the outside too. Yeah. Yeah, I'll just need to not be lazy. No, fundly get it done. You gotta do it now, I got it. Yeah, we're all expecting it. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Somebody said we can use a sponsorship for this. Yeah.
