What you're gonna do, brother, when Jeff Townsend Media runs wild on you. Welcome to Your Scary Stories Live the Podcast slash Show. It's both right. I think podcasting the video these days it's acceptable. Some of the old guard has fought me on that, damn it. But I'm gonna go with it. This is the show where we share your scary stories live across all social media right now currently, and we're going to share some awesome scary stories, some true or at least the people that submit them said they are true. So I'm going to go with it. I believe the people these are true scary stories. And joining me, of course are Luke and Jack fellow podcasters on other activities and longtime friends. Are you guys soone scared yet a little bit? Yeah? The spooked down the pre roll uh with some spooky music and and the preweel went so damn fast too. When you're out there trying to actually set us something up five, it's just like that what you're waiting on, you know, you were wanting to do something here. Yeah, I was so nervous. I was like, how can I get this done in time? But I made it work. I don't really know how. But so yeah, just to explain how this works, We're going to take turns sharing some stories that have been shared and we're going to share it with you the social media world and YouTube, and I don't know is YouTube social media? I think it kind of is. Yeah, I would go yeah in its own way. So I've got a couple of stories. Jack has a couple of stories, and Luke was the overachiever. He has one story. We're going to share this evening. I guess I could go ahead and try to set the scene here. We'll get some music going, like get the get the scene, get the vibes going. You hearing it? Am I little let hearing it? Oh? Yeah, yeah, he hears it? Is the two loaders are good or knowledge? No? No, it's good. It's good. Okay, Well I will start this out then with a story that I have here. This is the story, first story of the night that we're gonna share. This is ice cream trucks Gary story. Wow. So the person that submitted this wanted to be anonymous, but this is I'll go ahead and get into it here. I lived with my parents until I was twenty eight years old. We lived in Camden, Maine, a rural boat town. They were hardly ever home because of work and just traveling a lot, so I'd hold down the ford a lot. My parents' property is large and private, they were not home, I'd often throw little parties. This is one of those nights I was gonna throw a party. Oh wow, that's exciting. Everybody likes a party. I had ten to fifteen, ten to twenty people over and we all hung out in the backyard. It started around six pm, because people started leaving around eleven p and by midnight everyone was gone. I was exhausted from a mixture of alcohol and being in the sun must today. That certainly made me more tired. I changed into my nighttime clothes and got into bed, But before I could even fall asleep, I heard something something that anyone would not expect to hear this late at night. It was the sound of an ice cream truck, only it was a tune I'd never heard before. It was a creepy sounding one. The tune continued to get louder until it seemed to be right outside. I laid there for a few minutes, hoping it would stop, but when it didn't, I finally got up and I went to the window to look outside. I couldn't see anything from my bedroom window, so I went downstairs and looked out the living room window. I could vaguely see what I had to be an ice cream truck on the lawn, on my lawn. My heart started pounding like crazy. I had so many thoughts running through my head. Who was it, why were they here, and what do they want? I paced around the living room for a bit, not knowing whether to call the police, my dad, or simply wait for them to leave. The awful tune of the ice cream truck didn't stop, and it started making me go crazy. I decided to go out the front door to the porch. There I had a better view of the ice cream truck parked on the property a little less than one hundred feet away from my porch, parked in the grass, it wasn't exactly a typical looking ice cream truck. It was like a white van with ice cream pictures stamped and painted on it. I had a mixture of feelings, mostly confused and worried. Saying it was an abnormal sight would be a gross understatement. I stepped onto the grass with my bare feet and walked just a little bit closer to the van. The headlights weren't on, so when I got close enough, I saw there was no one in the driver's seat. When I got even closer, I saw one of the sliding doors in the van were open. I suddenly felt as though I could be attacked at any second. I looked around my surroundings in a panic, and then as quickly as I can could, I ran back in the house and lock the door. Now, I decided to call nine one one. I asked them to please hurry, and the woman asked me to walk around the house to make sure everything was locked. I started from the main floor and worked my way down to the back door. The glass panel on the back door was suddenly shattered and it was unlocked, and the door was slightly open. I whispered to the nine to one one operator about this. She told me to go into your room with a lockable door and wait there until the officers arrived. I was freaking out and tiptoed to the nearest bathroom and lock the door. Then the operator told me to stay on the line, be quiet, and wait to help arrived just a few moments later. Someone on the other side of the door, try turning the doorknob to open it, and then they started banging on the door. They actually banged three times. The woman on the phone said quietly to me that she heard it. I needed to remain quiet and very calm. Then, all of a sudden, after a few moments, I heard the back door suddenly slammed shut. Half a minute later, the tune of the ice cream truck slowly faded away, and the van was driving away. I told the woman the van was driving away. She said to wait until the officers arrived. They took a disgustingly long time to arrive, when I was waiting in the bathroom for what seemed like at least another five to ten minutes. If they had arrived in a more timely manner, they could have caught whoever it was that broke into my parents' house. Instead, all that happened was they filed a police report. My personal theory is at the ice cream truck tune was supposed to be a distraction for something while they broke it into the house. I'm sure there was more than just one person in that van. I'm happy this happened to me when I was twenty three years old, and not ten years old, because that would have traumatized me forever, or that still charlegized me forever at twenty three, that trugatized me. Now, huh. So when I read this story, when you know, I was like, this is absolutely crazy. Somebody's commenting Wrestling Soap Opera's commenting on on TikTok that it's fake. Maybe it'd be a heck of a fake story. I don't know. It's not from experience for me. It's somebody that the scary story that somebody submitted. But nevertheless, we'll take a second analyze this before we go to the next story. So I remember as a kid, the ice cream trucks would come around your neighborhood and it was such a joyful thing. But he's taking this moment here in this story it's something that's usually so joyful and made it so scary and sinister. Right. Can you imagine just laying there and somebody else is mentioning on on Facebook that the person he did say he was intoxicated to start this off. He did say that, he did say that, I guess, but you'd have to be hella drunk to be blacked out on this. I don't know why you got people. I got people trying to get us onto some streaming thing it. But anyway, so to me, this is crazy when I heard about it, because I'm like imagining laying there and like, all of a sudden, I've got an ice cream truck tuned plane and sitting in my it's parked in my yard. But I mean, this is this a tactic you guys believe could be done to try to break into a house? Yeah, I could see that happening. And I mean there are definitely similar things that people do that, you know, like dress up as a ya gas company employee or something like that to get access to your house. So using some sort of distraction to can you to get you out of the house to yeah, or just to get in like say hey, I need to look at your pilot light, you come up with a gas company uniform on, they get in and then they could rob you or you kidnap whatever, see exactly have happened. And so something like this being an attack would make sense to me. This story stuck out to me because, like I said, when I was a kid, I actually there was a creepy guy that would drive the ice cream truck around town. So I actually thought about that creepy guy as I was reading this scary story that was submitted, So, uh man, call on the police. Just remain quiet. As you read so many of these stories and you hear some of these things, it's always just lock yourself in a room and be quiet. I don't know if I would be going outside if I wasn't armed or something. But nevertheless, I mean, if you're yeah, I don't think when you hear an ice cream truck you just automatically assume something terrible is happening. You'd probably be really intrigued. Yeah, you know, you think, well, I'm gonna have a nice, delicious treat. Of course, well, you know, depending on the situation, you might not be thinking that. But in this case, I don't know, it would be a confusing situation a little bit. You'd be like, well, why is this truck here? If you're listening on social media live, make sure you like it, share it, help us get off the ground here, help more people see it. Break break the old algorithm, as they say, any final thoughts on this story before we move on, What do you think about it? I mean, yeah, I think it's a very plausible story. It's definitely a very terrifying story. Any home invasion story is infinitely more you know, scary then it's simply like ghosts and goblins and stuff like that, because like this definitely happens every day all over the country, all over the world, and so the idea of someone you know, breaking in, uh maybe using something innocent, singing like ice cream truck to perpetrate this crime is a terrifying notion. So whether or not the story is true, uh, the act of it is possible, and most likely it's happened in some fashion somewhere, and it is a pretty scary story. Some wrestling soap opera comment on TikTok it would be nice ice cream truck pulled up at night. Yeah, they even do ice cream trucks really anymore. I mean, I know this story is probably older when I was younger, but I haven't heard an ice cream truck in a while. If you're listening out there and you still hear ice cream trucks, let us know, because I sure have it. What about you guys? Not in a long time. Actually, I don't know if I've ever heard. I mean, there was a swan man, but there used to be an ice cream truck that came by our neighborhood when we were like four or five years old. But that was so long ago and we never went to because we never really had the extra money for it. Huh. Well, can you say, all right, so we have jack, have next your scary story. We'll go ahead and let you kick it off your jack, What scary story do you have? So this one comes from the Shockwave four and it's a little bit shorter, but they were talking about a time when they were ten or eleven years old and they were playing outside with their brother and their friend, and it was in the backyard actually, and it says that we end up going over by a big behind tree and my friend finds this butcher knife on the ground, and underneath it seems to be a bottle of ketchup. And then along with that was this would appear to be like a gopher or some kind of animal that was just had been killed, positive that some of it was eaten, and this was all lying next to this kind of like tree stump that was like they had like a large backyard, and it kind of like went into the woods a little bit, and they went and told their parents about it. You know, they were just kids, and they ended up calling the cops. Cops said there was someone that was kind of like suspected to be in the area that was uh, he was. It was very foggy memory for him because he was so young, but he remembers his mother telling him that it was something about, oh there was there was there was this criminal that was kind of like in the area, and he was He was under the custody of his dad at the time, so he wasn't like, you know, carcerated incarcerrated. Yeah, he was just kind of like with his dad and uh, it was very you know, strange set of items, and but you know, they kind of like went on about their went about their day or lives. After that. It was a couple of days later that they were asleep in their bed and it was about two am, they think, and uh there their dad comes into the room, opens the door and he just starts shouting. He says, trying to get out, get out. And the kid, you know, he's not a kid anymore. But by the time he thought he was getting yelled at by the parent, like he was saying, like saying, why are you know, kind of like, why are you saying to this to me? And the parent kind of like takes something and it kind of like flings it across the room and he turns and looks out his bedroom window, and there was a man standing outside, just staring through the open window, and they kept shouting, get out of here, get out of here. And this guy who's in the shadows standing outside, who knows what his intentions were, Uh, he just takes running off into the into the backyard and into the woods that apparently it was going to lead. It eventually led to their neighbor's house, and they said they were remember seeing cop cars driving around that night with spotlights kind of like shining off into the into the woods to kind of look for whoever it was. Uh, they actually never found out who it was, but they do believe it was one of their neighbors. And I said, the end their story here was saying that it was twelve years ago when it happened, and they said they still remember how horrified they were that someone was peek into their bedroom in the middle of the night. Along with what we were saying a second ago, a very real, very terrifying thing that could happen. Yeah, you said it. They think it was like a gopher. So that's like the event led up to It's kind of what the story's saying. Yeah, so they Yeah, I think they kind of like just realized that there was someone that was just getting into their backyard, messing with things, putting putting things in different places, possibly you know, eating wild animals or something like that. Sim to that effect. It's difficult for them to kind of piece together the seemingly uh you know, the strange events that are happening before that. But uh, definitely definitely very odd. Yeah, that's that's something else that that that's the kind of stuff that makes you really kind of like feel uh anxious. We think about your own family, you know, I mean, you think about what could happen if if I don't happen to walk in the room like he like his dad walked in that room at that moment, what had you know? I think the crazy part is how he's talking about his dad shouting at this person. They even description like in the shadows and obviously it's at night, but I see what you're saying, because you have like lighting that kind of lights up a certain area outside just like vaguely whether it be the moon or whether it be a light out outdoor light. So just be off, standing out of I guess what the person thought would be where you wouldn't really be able to see them. They're standing there for right, Yeah, just shouting at him. Not to mention. You know, I got like a certain number of years going by, you made some of the details might get fuzzy on you. You like, maybe they got a good look at him, maybe they didn't. Of course, if you're watching this live on social media, all the platforms are going across streaming right now, make sure you like and share it. That would help. Man, that was a creepy story. I think that that's another one where I'd be traumatized as a kid. How old you say? How did this person say? They said ten or eleven? They don't know the exact you know, it was either their ten or eleven. So I think a little ten year old Jack would be scared. Oh yeah, I'll pick it up here on the next story. It's interesting that you say that because I believe that in my story that I have here, this person was ten. H Okay, they say they're twelve. We'll get into the story here. So this is the next story. This is a I titled it a Scary Bedroom Story by Michael Welsh he had shared Thank you, Michael. I'll go get into it here. I had the one bedroom in the house that wasn't on the second floor. My parents' house was a high ranch. When you entered the house, it spun off into two floors, with one half flight stairs going upstairs and one downstairs. When you enter, the downstairs level had the den, garage, my bedroom, and a bathroom. The other three bedrooms in the house were all upstairs. Since I grew up the oldest and the only boy in the house two sisters, I got the room downstairs because it was the biggest and technically the coolest. After I turned ten, my parents gave my twin bed to my little sister and I got a full sized bed, which was a bit of an upgrade because the room was big and it certainly fit a bigger bed better. When I was twelve, my little sisters were around five and eight, so at this age I would be allowed home alone, but my five year old sister wouldn't be left alone with me, and my eight year old sister would only be left alone with me if my parents weren't going to be gone for too long, or if they were just gonna be gone for long periods of times the day. If they were going to be gone for long period of time today, they'd take boak to my sisters. For this short period of time, I'd say like three nights in a row, I was waking up in the middle of the night for no reason, and I'd have trouble falling back asleep. Considering I was only twelve years old, I knew I shouldn't be having problems sleeping at this age. I was sleeping with the fan on next to my bed because it was so hot that couple of days, right in the middle of summer. I wasn't sure what exactly was waking me up, considering the fan provided a steady white noise. One of these nights, I got up after waking up to refill a glass of water. I went into the bathroom right beside my bedroom to fill up the water in the sink there, and as I was filling it up, I thought I heard something come out of the inside of my room. I turned off the faucet and then just listened now for a moment, but there was nothing. I didn't hear anything except for the sound of the fan in my room. I walked to the doorway of my bedroom and I couldn't tell what it was, but something was creeping me out about my room. So I went upstairs at the living room and decided to sleep on the couch that night. I fell asleep eventually, but that same night I woke up again, this time to noises from the kitchen. I glanced and I saw the glow of the light from the fridge and sounds of someone rubberging through it. The way the floor set up at that kitchen was, it was out of you from the couch in the living room, so I couldn't see who it was in there. I just heard the noises of somebody going to the refrigerator. Eventually I heard the refrigerator shut, then footsteps walked away downstairs. I was drowsy, so I went back to sleep. I believe it was the next day that my mom was folding clothes in my room and she told me that my room stunk and I needed to clean up whatever that smell was. I ignored her because I really didn't smell anything, But I wish I wouldn't have ignored her that night, our dad turned the air conditioning on finally because it just simply got too hot. After we all start, after we all watched a movie as a family together, everyone started getting ready for bed. I went to my room and played video games for a little while before eventually going to sleep. So when I decided to turn off my TV, I also turned off the console and rolled on my side to go to sleep. Like I always did, that night felt a little bit different because I didn't have the fan on because the air conditioning had been turned on. There was just the sound of the air blowing through the vents for the central air unit the events coming through the ceiling. Eventually, I was able to fall asleep, but a sound woke me up shortly after. I didn't know what the sound I heard was because now all of a sudden, after I was awake, all I could hear was the air blowing through the vents and the ceiling. After a few minutes, it stopped blowing air in the room again and went completely silent. I heard some breathing, but it wasn't my breathing. I looked around the room. Part of my childhood innocence assumed it was my younger sister pranking me. I looked in the closet but didn't see anything. I got on the floor and looked at the only other place I could think of to look, under my bed. I lifted the little piece of cloth that dangled at the bottom of my bed, and I saw a very large person laying under my bed on a pile of blankets. The person's head was facing me, but their eyes were closed. I fell backwards and basically crablalk out of the room as quickly as possible, and I screamed Dad. I heard my parents' door swing open, and my parents came rushing out of the room, looking concerned. I pointed in the direction of my bedroom and said, under my bed. My dad went into my room and pulled out this very large, dirty looking man. I remember my dad quite easily physically forcing the man outside as my mom called nine one one. I'm sure he went to jail for a while or something, but maybe not because he had to be homeless. Who knows. This did a lot of mental damage to me. I didn't even want to sleep in my room anymore. I didn't want to sleep in the house anymore. I had to sleep in the middle of my parents for a while. My dad installed security cameras all over the house. We threw out all the friuge and all the food in the refrigerator that had been opened, because we had no idea what he had got his hands and mouth on. The fear of someone being under my bed stayed with me for a long time. We don't even know how long he was hiding under the bed. It could have been a few days or even longer. The smell the person going through the refrigerator, and the fact that I kept randling waking up those few nights all made sense now. Whether he meant harm or not, Having someone hiding under your bed is every child's biggest nightmare. A lot of unpacked with that one, Michael, thank you for sharing that story. Wow word, Yeah, that one will be very difficult because you know, you really want to feel safe in your own room. That's like a very important thing. So I don't know, I would it would be very difficult to get to sleep for ever. Again, Yeah, I would definitely. I think it would probably get part of my routine to check counder my bed after that. I would have to know, I guess I like okay, so obviously I grew up with you guys, and I know you guys have stayed the night at your house. I have the same See it with a fan is a pretty common thing. Yeah, yeah, So when I was reading this story, I could relate to that, just silence when there's no fan, but especially like when your air conditionering, your heater is running and then it suddenly turns off and it's just dead. It's absolutely silent at that point. One you're used to sleeping with a fan too. Your hair just shut off and you hear breathing, snoring, whatever it was, and it's not yours. Yeah. The oh, that's the straight out of nightmare right there. He was realistic, right, He thinks automatically like, hey, it's my little sister probably playing it on me, which should be more likely than a homeless man being out of your bed. Right. And then after though, after when they were like, well we should probably get rid of this food. That's kind of a very real yeah decision there. So it sounds like he had stockpiled some of his clothes and uh blankets and been hiding under the bed. So this all makes sense now as he goes back, and he made sure to highlight in the story that his mom talked about the smell in that room, and he wished he would have listened. Did you guys, cat do you guys catch that too? Yeah? I didn't. I didn't catch it until just now. Yeah, so it should have checked then, yeah, of course. Yeah. I mean, is there ever a good time to check for a homeless person at your bed? This I'm checking the night, this story, this story, this sport terrified me, guys I here. I mean, if it was for the fact that my bed is like a platform bed with like shelves underneath, nothing could be I would probably also I'm checking out. I'm checking anyway, I'm checking under my bed. Okay, what that's called? Like if you're listening live, you know, you can comment along or I'm across across all social media right now, like and share it. Of course. I think that's called the skirt of the bed, right, yeah, my verbiage right there. So can you imagine you think you hear a noise, You've looked in the closet, nothing's in there, and you can think there's one more spot to check, that's under my bed, and as you slowly peel up lift up this skirt of your bed, it kind of hangs down to the ground. You see a person in there, under there sleeping. I it blows my mind how terrifying this would be. Oh, there's two things there. Because I was like, first of all, I was like, I'm glad this person was asleep, right, because imagine seeing someone like, yeah, that would know but that he says, he crab walks out. Yeah, I wanted to That's what I wanted to do. I wanted to get out. Hey, Tory, thanks for joining the live stream. Yeah, we're we're talking about scary stories that people have shared to be on the show here, so sharing them on the show here. You just missed a terrifying one. A kid. Yeah, if you're joining now, you missed a good one. A kid found a homeless man under his bed one night he heard breathing. It wasn't his breathing. A long story short after a good, suspenseful story. He lifted the bed skirt up to find a homeless man sleeping under his bed. As a kid is he is? He ended the story with, and I'm gonna agree with, as a kid, the most terrifying thing is like a monster or something being out of your bed. And that became a reality here for Michael. Yeah, that's rough. Well I have dreams about that one, and not good ones either. No, we'll have out to the next story here, Luke, it's your turn. Yeah. So I've got a bit of a different way for the rest of y'all. So mine is a mixture of stuff that definitely happened and a little bit of mysticism and magical stuff that may not actually happen. But who knows. You know, I'm not gonna be the one to explain how universe works, but this is some interesting stuff that actually happened, and it's actually kind of terrifying. This actually comes from a user that On I had read, and his name is I know, I am very hot. This is not in an erotic piece though, thankfully, so that's the name. Hold On, that's his name. Yeah, I know, I that's his username. But he's got a hotspicy story for us here. Yeah. Yeah. Also, I want to say this in advance. He's English. It's not his first language. So I'm going to try to read this as normally as possible, but some of the words I might stumble over because of the syntaxing. But God should be good. Okay. Back in twenty ten, I was twenty years old. It was my sophomore year and university. I found a bunch of old and antique photos of family from my grandpa's side, my father's father, taken in nineteen ten, nineteen fifteen, nineteen seventeen, nineteen twenty and nineteen thirty five. Two photos caught my attention which were taken in nineteen fifteen. Each photo had a description. One said this photo take in March fifteenth, nineteen fifteen, of the Dacca Ball with a stamp saying Sarat Saraut India. I am tie, but the family the photo was taken in India. One photo is a group of a group photocus the saying of ten people were wearing all white and we wore a huge amount of gold jewelry on them. The second photo consisted of twelve people taken in the same area but are moved up to the second floor of the house. I took these two photos to my grandpa and asked where they were taken and who are they. Grandpa looked at the photos for a few seconds, said, oh, this is Dad's house, the great grandfather in throughout India, the haunted mansion. I used to tell you about when you were young. At that time, my grandpa was already ninety five years old. He took the first photo and told me to to move close to him, and he started pointing. The man at the back on the left is my dad. That's the great grandfather, and the man next to him is my half brother. Dad married my mom when his first wife passed away. In the second row, the lady on the very left is my mom, the great grandmother. As you can see, she looks quite different form the rest because she is Siamese or what they call Tiling at the time of Siam. So at the time this photo was taken, I was inside her tummy. That's what the grandpa said. The lady next to her is another in law, my half brother's wife. The fourth lady sitting in the middle of the photo is my grandmother, so this would be a great grandmom. The lady on her left is her younger sister who remained single. And the rest of the people in this photo I can't remember. They look at the second photo, this is the right quarter facing the backyard beside the family cemetery, and you see the balcony on the right side of the photo that leads to the third fold of house where there are three water tanks supplying for the whole house. It is where we found the in law's body. And you see the infant that my half brothers holding. He is my older brother and almost died from being sacrificed. He was saved by the in law who was murdered later. The door behind my half brother is my dad's bedroom is painted crimson red. Grandpa talked with a neutral tone as of what he just said is a normal thing that happens every day. Then my grandfather looked at the first photo again and he pointed at his grandma, the great grandmother this person killed. They moved his finger to the brother in law's or the half brother's wife killed her and she haunted Grandma for the rest of her life. In Sarah, India, there's a local belief that happens once in a blue moon on how to attain wealth in a short cut way. It said that child who was born in the earlier of the year with a specific body marking is the key person of the ritual. Once one of the family members receives a sign in information about the auspicious state, they will then have to princely dress the infant and put the infant in front of a specific cave, instruct them. Instructed to them, you're allowed to go into the cave and take out treasure and then you never look back at the infant ever again. Yes, I know us be like what, how? Why? I asked Grandpa the same question, why and he said, greed. Greed is the only thing made you to sacrifice others in exchange for treasure. How Grandpa said he heard the entity showed up in each family in different ways. It appeared to his grandmother in her dreams, saying, if it wants the youngest infant, which would be the grandpa's older brother who had just was just born. The grandpa wasn't born yet, so the entity wanted this infant, dressed the infant up and put him in front of this cave. And then he asked, well, he asked his grandpa, what is this thing? The grandpa said, depends on your belief Some say it's a demon, some said it's a deity. The Goserati Muslim called a gen. I asked my grandfather, why did your grandma want more wealth because you were super rich at the time, and his grandpa said, but said again, greed. So back in nineteen fifty, his great grandmother was so a few months pregnant with the grandma, her husband and stepson went back to Bangkok to work at their family business to get and so she was the only one there that spoke Siamese or Thailand Thai and in India. And so the grandma comes to her. The great grandma comes to her and says, I want your one year old kid. I want a sacrificer, sacrifice them for this treasure. And she was just supposed to accept it. Ah, But the half brother and in particular his wife, Uh, she was able to save the baby from being sacrificed. She figured out the data of sacrifice as soon as she got to information. He telegrammed the father and told him that this was going to happen. And so he got back as fast as he could and yelled at his mom, yeah, I told you, she's not allowed to sacrifice his kid. At this point, the user he asked his grandpa what would happen to the infant if the ritual went forward, and he said what he had heard from other locals and from his father and other people is after you put the infant in front of the thing. You go in, you go get treasure, and you're not supposed to look at the infant ever again. And as you're walking away, you'll hear a snap like a neck is being broken. And if at any point that you were to look back, the treasure in your hand would disappear, but and the baby would be alive, but they would be either blind or unable to speak, or death. That was the downfall of your action of greed. So growing up in the mansion, Grandpa knew that his grandma and that in law never liked each other ever again because she stopped the ritual for happy by getting the father to come back and stop it. And one day the in law went missing. Nobody could see it, no what I saw hard for a week. Then one day the housemaid went up to the upper level to check the water level and the tanks. She had to do every so often to make sure there's plenty in there, and she starts screaming at the top of her lungs. Everyone rushed her and they found that in law's body was in the water. She was dead. It was she didn't go up there and drowned herself. It was clear that she was murdered, and they knew the only person in the family that would do that would be the grandma, but she was also the matriarch of the family. There was no talking back against her. Then he said that his grandpa said that His grandpa started saying that he saw the ghosts of the of the in law a few days after the body was found, and then she started torturing the grandma every day, keeping her awake all night long, or like grabbing her legs while she's under while they're sitting at a table, and she kept complaining about all these horrible things as ghost was doing. It happened for eight straight years. Then the grandma was on her deathbed and she confessed to murdering the in law because she premitted the ritual from happening. And then she died and the ghost seemingly disappeared. Then that infant that was going to be sacrificed lived into their early nineties and then passed away of old age. And his grandpa then went out to tell them. He said, India is a land of wonders. Everything that you could imagine could be found there, a magic trick, all rituals and paranormal activities and living folklore could be found there. That's the end of the story. A lot of unpack here. Wow, there's some comments from across social media. Someone say what a story on YouTube? Someone is saying Lucas watched too much anime. I kind of, But yeah, this was a an interesting story to me. I like stories from other countries a lot. Yeah, I like reading on especially folklore and mysticism. I do believe that this woman was going to sacrifice this evant. I do believe that's a true story. I do believe that she murdered because she did confess it to all their the symbol family, that she did murder that woman. Whether you believe in the gin or you believe in any of the other stuff like the ghost, that's a for you know, interpretation for everyone. But this was definitely the thing that happened, and you know, it happened all over the world. Wasn't just India. They had folklore, ritualistic suits, sacrifice and stuff like that. So I found this would be a very interesting story because that kind of dark mad Uh, It's definitely something I like reading about. Yeah, obviously would yeah, for I think that that was a thing that away should do. But I do think it's a really interesting part of human history is reading these dark rituals and things that people had done. Some more comments here on on Core Luke. On Core Luke, someone said it looks like the next plot of the next paranormal Activity movie. Someone said, yeah, wait, somebody actually typed all this out. Yeah, yeah, it's I paraphras him a little bit. There was a little bit I didn't go into because uh uh my voice was starting to dry up and I couldn't say it all. But yeah, there was more. It was. It was a very long story, and I found it very interesting. Well, I said earlier, I was giving Luke crap that Jack and I had these more stories and that we were going to read tonight and how unfair it was. But you're listening to your story now I can see why you have one thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like, Babe, Ruth, you know, you knocked it out of the park. It doesn't matter if you did a lot of that at bats your thoughts. Jack, I mean, it's it's it's very it's wild, you know, because it's just so much happened. But also, you know, I don't know, I guess I kind of do believe in you know that kype of stuff is supernatural stuff, and so you just thought of it out there in the middle of the woods. It's this gin that requires such a intense thing for something so small like money is unsettling. It's money and greed. The root of all evil is that, you're telling me, Well, greed, I guess. But she was really that worried about the sacrifice not happening though they're willing to ur somewhat. Yeah, yeah, it was uh so each they were always people who supposedly did this ritual had something of great value given to that, something that beyond what a normal rich person, which they were normal rich people. So this was something that she was saying, Wow, God, something's so wonderful, and all we have to do is sacrifice this bait. You know, That's all this was just how it was done. Holy shit, Jack, you're up next. Okay, Well we can't top that, Shad. I'm not gonna try to top it, but but at this next story, I do have another one. So I do have this one here, and this story is from someone that also Wondermain anonymous, So I was just gonna they kind of start the story off with like they're going to they're hanging out with their friends. It's like after work, and it's kind of like a normal kind of night for them, and the noble night for them is to go out into like this kind of secluded area and smoked some weep okay said. It was about midnight and we were doing the usual smoking and listening to music. We noticed a local police officer driving around with the spotlight and this nearly empty parking lot. Paranoia set in, so we put out the bowl and waited in silence for him to leave. Eventually he left and we continued on. All of a sudden, this woman came out of nowhere, totally ragged, stopped in front of our car, staring into the windshield at us. Shivers went down my spine as I couldn't get over why she would have been doing this, Like why just stop and stare at you kind of thing, And she finishally walked away, and uh, at the point, I was ready, I was just ready to leave. You know, it's a police officer. Yeah, you kind of like, you know, a party coming getting busted up here, you know, and there's people staring at us. But one of the three of us, I didn't see this person directly. It was convinced that we were just high and paranoid and maybe there wasn't anyone there in the first place. And they were like, well, we's just let's just chill out. Let's just sit here for a little while longer. Yeah, listen to some more music. I mean, you can imagine like after work and this is like a routine for you. Don't, yeah, you don't think that something crazy is going and uh, the poster was saying. I was shaking. It was very uneasy. This whole thing was just felt unsafe, and I kept looking over my shoulder behind my car. My friends were joking with me about how, you know, weird everything, and I was just, you know, I was add that I was the one who is the only one that was paranoid, but I had a feeling we weren't safe. A few minutes later, I had begun to uh look over my shoulder less and less, started to get a little more comfortable, started to realizing maybe this wasn't as big of a deal. But I had to look behind the car to see the same woman started sprinting towards us, started reaching for the driver's door. He looks out the window. She's got a knife in her hands, and so he says that he's uh, and this is his words, He says, my sympathetic nervous system kicked in, and I started the car without saying a word and peeled out of the drive of the parking lot, not stopping until I was off campus. He mentioned to see it was on campus. Apparently she had been creeping around all the cars in the parking lot, going all the way around the perimeter, just so that she could attack from an area where he wasn't looking. And then later he goes on to say that later we found out the police were looking for this person. She had previously killed her husband and the woman he was having an affair. The police were trying to look for. That's why they were in the parking lot at the time. And apparently that well, what they believe was that she was trying to steal their car to get away. Oh yeah, I was just gonna say this. This sounds like so that happens a little bit too often that there. This happens a lot. Actually, I've seen different, Like I saw mystery files and stuff like that where someone like that has committed like a horrible crime then like seize no other way out but to try to, you know, get away fast, and they will like you know, try to steal from someone else, and they might even try to kill someone else to get away. It's certainly possible. I was, uh when I when I found it, I was like, there's some there's something to this, but I do wonder what, uh what what became of it? Did they did they catch this person? Uh? It gets kind of vague towards the end, and I wasn't sure if they you know, if they caught them, if they caught this person or sounds like they know who the person was. So I mean, yeah, that's true. I could let me get run for forever. Right. I can see what the person was saying when they talked about so obviously they're smoking pot, right, so they're already paranoid, and they started seeing the cops, like the cops are nearby and all that, so it kind of all matches up together. Why Like he's like he was trying to get to why the cops are nearby? Right? Exactly? Yeah, I forgot about that part. Actually, well it wasn't near as long as Luke's story. I picked a big one just I just I guess he didn't really get into the how he reacted to the door trying to be open more. That seems like terrifying. Yeah. Yeah, someone's coming at you, Yeah, with the weapon, or even if they're not, they're just trying to get in your car. Yeah, that's just their Oh well, I think I'm going to share the last story of this evening, and this is my third story of the evening of an Overachiever. Yeah. This is submitted by Alicia L. And it's called I've titled it just after reading it, the Scary Baby Monitor Story. Oh, get going here. Wait for this. Background music's amazing. Yeah, if you're listening live, make sure you like share all that. Help us out here, get this spread a little bit more. We're live all social media. It's like Twitter as the biggest listenership viewership right now, TikTok. I've just started going live on there, so it's just minimal people, But if you're listening, we appreciate it. So people listen on YouTube too, So I'll get into this. This is Scary Baby Monitor story. I'm going to man, this music is just epic. It is I'm actually going to ask you what you got it later on, Oh, I did it all. I did it all, man, you know I did that. It's gonna cut me off here eventually, it's gonna stop. What you're about to hear is the scariest thing I've ever experienced. My sister and her husband were going away to Hawaii for a week. My sister asked me to stay at their house to watch my two year old nephew, Sean for the duration of the trip, which was about nine playing to be about nine days. It sounds like two was a tricky age for me because Sean was still in diapers at the time, and changing diapers was the last thing I would ever want to be doing. The family family, and I had to return the favor to them, makes sense, that's kind. I slept in the guest room upstairs for the duration of the stay. By the third day, I had everything down to a rhythm. Wake up, feed him, do my work in a living room why supervising him as he played, Feed him again, then put him to bed. My sister had a high tech baby monitor that connects to a touchscreen tablet. You know the kind of the camera on it. It records sound and video. The camera recorded from above Sean's crib and sends information real time dentifications directly to the tablet. I would keep the tablet beside me while he slept, no matter where I was, living room, in the bedroom, or anywhere. Midday, most of the time he would get sleepy and I'd take him to his crib for a nap. On the fourth day, while Sean was taking a nap, I was in the backyard at my sister's sitting in the outside bar area. I was on my laptop with a baby monitor tablet right beside me. Sean started laughing at something, so I checked the tablet. I saw him standing in his crib. I do at this point in time, it was time to go up and get him out of his crib. I took him back outside with me, and he played in his little electric toy car. For the remainder of the day, I just watched Sean play with his toys while I would either be doing work on my laptop or just watching something on TV. Shortly after dinner time, I changed him one last time and laid him down in his crib to go to sleep. An hour or so passed by, where there wasn't much else for me to do, so I decided i'd go ahead and had head to bed in the upstairs guest bedroom. While I was laying in bed in the dark room, suddenly the tablet lit up. It was sitting on the bedside table. The tablet would go off if it detected a certain amount of sound or movement. I was comfortable with the position I was in and didn't really want to get up. But I noticed the tablet went but I sir, But I still heard Sean making sounds the sound of laughter. I decided a go ahead and checked the tablet. I got confused when I picked up the tablet and saw the screen was black, yet it appeared the screen was still on. I heard Sean say the word yeah to somebody or to something as he continued laughing. Something didn't feel right, so I decided to go check on him. On my way to Chan's room, I was calling his name. When I entered the room, he was standing in his crib. I asked him why he was awake and to whom he was talking to. He then tried reaching for something above the crib, but his short arms couldn't reach. It seemed like he was trying to reach out the camera for the baby water, so I pointed it, pointed at it, and I said camera, and he then replied yeah. I picked him up to give him a little lift to see what he was trying to do exactly with the camera. As I lifted him, he used his little thumb to cover up the camera lens. Art suddenly sank as I'm again to put pieces together. Somebody would have had have shown him this, and the reason the tablet went dark was because somebody was covering it. But I know it wasn't Sean because it was literally impossible and he couldn't reach it. I asked, Sean, is someone in here? He responded by pointing to pointing at the room's closed closet door. I picked him up, ran outside of the neighbor's house, pointing on the door while screaming for help. An elderly woman answered, and she let me in to call the police with her phone. While I was making the call, she was comforting Sean. Shortly after, the police showed up and said that they'd checked the upstairs closet and it was opened, but nobody was inside. The fact that it was open says everything to me. Somebody was in Sean's closet. They must have made an escape. When I took Sean and Rando the neighbors, the officers told me to stay at someone else's place for the night, and the elderly woman next door allowed us to stay there after I watched On. After that, I watched On at my apartment for another night. My sister and her husband had to cut the trip short after hearing the news this, I can't do it. Yeah, obviously I have kids, right, So when I when I when I first read this in the submission, I thought, man, that's actually crazy because we all have these like everything's so high tech today, right, like like growing up you had these little people had these little baby monitors just had sound, but now it's advanced to the point with video. And I've actually used this for my youngest child as well. So when I was imagining, just the realization that you when you finally come to the conclusion that somebody was covering it up while you're looking at it, Because that makes sense, right, She's saying that all of a sudden, the screen went black, but I was still hearing voices. Right, you can tell we look like a tablet. I screen is still on, but just like dark. Yeah. Absolutely, you can tell when the screen is still on because it's like still has some lighting you know, around the surface of the tablet. But you also sell are hearing sound. So then you go up, you go up there, right, and the and the kid does and little kids that age always do what they're shown. That's like the immediate reaction, right. So the fact that she picked them up and he wanted to play with the camera and when he did, he covered it up. It was like, oh shit, cause the doors closed. Then as the cops search the house, close, the doors open. So yeah, the close, the doors open, and so you know whoever was in there, if you know, if there's a present, there's someone in there. Yeah, they heard someone say is someone here? Then then heard your running out of the house with the kid. Well, still know the intentions, you're right, like this person that you don't you don't know. They made a very quick snap decision to get it out of there because they teary just like a few seconds. It would it could have done a whole lot worse. Yeah, I think the thing that she talked about it like lunchtime that this like she implied this happened, but she didn't pick up on it, like, I don't know if you caught that. So this person was lying and waiting for a while, right that. This is so wild. That's like just you can't even get your head in the You can't get your mind in the head of someone like that. And I think for me, like you were asked to do something really important, like watch your sister's kid that you know, and you're staying at their house. It's not your house. This is a huge undertaking. You're changing diapers, you're you're feeding the kid, and it's your responsibility to take care and protect this kid. So man, just bone chilling to me. That's crazy. Wow. So if you're listening out there live, let us know what you think. I certainly felt like this one hit close at home to me when I when I read it, for sure one people are asking for one more story. I could do that. You guys have for one more story my story? Yeah you got one. Yeah, this is one hundred percent true story. Uh, from when I was a kid. Now I don't I don't know all the details down to tea like these people do. I always give people credit when they're sit able to so vividly remember everything from something when they're so young. Maybe it's just me and I just can't but I can't remember terrifying thing that happened to me. So yeah, if you're watching live, give it a like share it is. I'll go into this story that happened to me. I was, I want to say, not quite ten years old. Like I said, I don't know for a fact. We had a house growing up for a while before I moved into the city and met you guys where it was out in the country, and so just painted the picture here of the scenery of this. You didn't really see a lot of people. We had like one neighbor, but you could really mean you had you could see their house. So it was kind of it was secluded. I'm saying this seclude is what I'm saying. One night, I was laying in bed and I had fallen asleep and had a bunk bed and I had a step sibling this point in time, and step sibling I had younger brother. Step sibling slept on the top bunk. I slept on the bottom bunk. I woke up in the middle of the night, and the way the bed sits in the room, you can see out the door into the kitchen. I woke up in the middle of the night, and for whatever reason, I don't know why, I looked around the room, and you know how it is when you first wake up and you look back on things, You're like, was I dreaming or not? Right? Like you consider that just a dream? Did it really happened? I looked around the room and I saw the brand new post Michael Jordan poster I had put on the wall in my room that day, glass of water. I remember getting to drink of the glass of water, sitting on my bedside, and as I laid back down, my little brother's arm was hanging over the step. Brother's arm was hanging over the edge of the top bunk. I laid down and kind of turned my head to the side, and I could see out the door into the kitchen. And when I looked out there there were three figures standing out in the kitchen, middle of the kitchen, not terribly far away, I'd say about ten feet away. Probably It's very dark. And the height of these in size of these individuals was interesting because or entities, I don't know what it was. It was. It was humanoid sheaped. I guess you could say the size of them. Was very interesting because it was like three perfectly varying sizes, you know how you see those sizes on bumper stickers, like a fam way back of the window or something you'll have like the dad, the mom, and then the kid, or heck, some of them get cute and have a dog on it. This is not the scenario. So the first person to my that I could see to my right would have been there left it's left was the tallest, then the shortest, then the smallest, and I couldn't see their faces. It just looked like the color of skin peach, like a very circular face, the form of a face, with no figures on the face at all. Granted it was dark in the room, but the size of everything was just so perfect, if that makes sense. Is odd. And they were waving at me in sequence, so with one's hand would go one way, the other one's hand would go the same way, all of them back and forward. I'm terrified. I don't know what to do because the way the house was laid out, my dad's room is clear across the house. So so I'm young, and I think if I screamed for help, something bad might happen to me. Or my dad or my brother. I don't know, because it's a long haul. This person's literally between the room outside the kitchen and me, and then my dad's room clear across the house, my stepmom's groom as well. I didn't know what to do, so I laid there and I closed my eyes really tight, right like, and I pretend that I'm asleep. They're gonna go away, and it didn't. I opened my eyes back up. They're still there, waving at me. Feared to be staring at me, which I say that that's odd because there's no I couldn't see anything on their face, but they were facing me perfectly, just waving. So I hid under the blankets. I hid under the blankets and I waited what felt like for an eternity, and I took the blankets off my head and they're still there waving at me. And I'm just terrified. As a kid, I don't know what to do. I just hide under the blankets for so long. I eventually fell asleep. Then when I look up for school, everything is fine. I still to this day don't know was this a dream or did it really happen? Oh? Yeah, okay, that's uh, that's definitely terrifying. That definitely goes back to how I was talking about that I actually do believe in these like supernatural things. Yeah maybe if I get probably uh you know what, perfectly remember stories of my own like like that. But that's yeah, that's that goes THO goes back to what I was talking about, Like what about when they can see you? Right, it's one thing where it's like, oh, there's something we're doing. Yeah, but you can be like, well, maybe they don't see me yet, but when you said they started, they were waving at you. It's undeniable and it's like I can't, I can't. That was actually the most terrifying part of that story. Yeah, I was at that point. I was like no, no, no, it was so weird because then, like I said, I go back to what was I was this a dream? And I I brought up the poster and the taking the drink of the glass glass of water because it just seemed so real. Now I get you could have a dream so real. I get that. Yeah, some one was definitely in the books of like what what's that? So years later it was on my space because I haven't really told the story too much. I told somebody the story, and they claimed to be in what do you call it, a medium, like a like a what's another tape, like a like a psychic spiritualist. Yeah, and I told I told them that story, and they said And the lady said to me, wait, do you still live there? I said, no, said to all that good. Good. You need to make sure that you don't don't even think about it. Just make sure you're not even thinking about it. Just move on from it. I said why. She's like, I'm not gonna tell you why, but I'm just glad you're not near there. And I was thinking, like, what the heck? What the hell? Like then I tried to look up into it. There's a lot of different things out there in theories on stuff. Most of the stuff you'll find is like shadow people, but this just seems so much more real. Yeah, there's a lot of different demonic things that are connected to things like that. But I'll never know, never experience anything like it again, and I certainly would never want to. But for me as a kid, and still to this day, I sleep with the door closed because yeah, it was weird for me. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, definitely gonna be making sure my door is closed and I'll be looking into my bed tonight. Yeah that's one hundred percent. I mean, that's exactly what I remember. Like I said, I don't have the details of some of these great people did in these awesome stories they shared with us tonight, but that's my story. Yeah, let us know. And the comments, what you think the best story of the night was? Somebody just commented mine somebody else it was wrestling soap opera. Thanks for hanging out with us all night on TikTok.

I've always this is one thing I've always thought about people who get attacked by you know, ghosts or demons or stuff like that. I've always felt like if they can touch you and who you are, you can touch them back, so you might as well go down swinging. So I preferred if I get attacked by some sort of you know, peach colored entergy like you describe I, I want to go out art. I didn't know how else to describe it. It was like literally so peak, it was like a crayon peach collars. Yeah, that just makes it worse. Everything is just the worse. It's absolutely horrifying.
