I discovered this channel no more than three days ago and I must admit to being genuinely surprised at how fascinating I find these odd little stories from the lives of complete strangers. I honestly thought I had found a fairly run-of-the-mill "ghost story" channel, but after the first story (can't remember the first video I watched) or two I was getting ready to switch, thinking I had stumbled upon a channel consisting mainly of millennial/gen Z girls sharing gossip or weird nothings that many women that age are wont to do (if this offends, it's my honest observation). Getting round to the conclusion of my point, I am happy to have found your videos. They are a diverse collection of odd, scary and uncanny personal anecdotes which remind me that the world is a bizarre place and things like psychopaths and supernatural synchronicities are much more common than we might routinely think.

Thanks so much for your videos, Raven! They make my nightly cleaning routine much more enjoyable. After getting the kids to bed, I can just space out while listening and get all my shit done before I drag myself to bed. 🖤

A lot of people who get catfished feel like they're stupid while in fact they're just trusty and nice . Hopefully this won't make them give up on the idea of finding that special one . Nice to hear about your half of a life time relationship , I'm sure she won the lottery with you . ❤

Hi Raven. Happy Anniversary to you and Patience. I hooe you two have many more happy years together. My husband and I got together when I was 16 and he was 17 and on April 12th we just had our 36th year anniversary. I remember how cool it was to say we'd been together half our lives. Plus with dating the way that it is and all the horror 😉 stories I've heard we're always saying how happy we're that we dont have to date. I enjoyed the video. Great job as always! You did ger me in the beginning wgen the video started i thought somehow I'd missed the intro and had to rewind. I was thinking oh that's weird, but decided I must be thinking wrong. I was glad to find out I wasn't. It'll be interesting to see if it makes a difference. Take care, i hope you two enjoy your anniversary and have a great weekend!

For everyone out there a good, reliable background check in the US costs ~$50 - $75, possibly more if they've moved around a lot. Yes, you can do some, maybe all of it for free, which is fine if they're not grifty AF. The second they start talking about financial difficulties, before they even start dropping hints of needing you to help them, do a thorough background check. And OP from Story 2, please don't feel bad about getting conned! People like this literally spend their whole lives practicing how to manipulate and fool people, and it's happened to all of us in some way, shape, or form. You're not stupid; you're kind & generous and she took advantage. Don't lose those positive qualities because a few people are bad, just, getting any agreements in writing and do a background check. I'm sorry you went through this!

I'm just going to say that my husband was exactly like him. You never have a relationship that lasted up to a year. When we started dating he chased me around I wasn't I didn't want anything to do with datingI was good at that time with Nana this is not about my story so I'm not going to say about that part. When he started chasing me we were actually 32 but we were friends he was the first person that I could talk to about my past and some of the things I did without feeling like I was judged and vice versa. We were both 32 right before the year mark he said to me that we should break up now because he's just going to mess it up and I will leave before the year and he would rather me end it then him to.hurt me ( like that didn't hurt me LOL). He said he had waited his whole life for me and I actually felt the same way I had been married before and I had never felt for my husband I was feeling for him and I was having a hard time with that because I felt guilty in a way because I was having a problem with that I thought maybe you know there was something wrong with me I've been feeling very guilty. This man was the perfect fit for the other half of my soul we have now been together for 17 years of total Bliss I am still in the honeymoon phase is people call it after 17 years this man still treats me like I am the best thing that ever happened to him. That without me he has nothing I'm not kidding when I tell you he is amazing I broke my back in this man takes care of like I am the most precious commodity in his life. My two sons love this man I mean how many fifteen-year-olds do you know that allow a man to come into their home and they're just okay with it they're fine with it there's no issues I'm totally accepting of him my other son it was much easier there's ten years between my son so he was like 5 and he found his new everything partner I remember the. First week I came home my youngest son was so happy and of course night man was limping I said okay what happened said we went to the skatepark and he fell more times than I did my son was ecstatic that's the kind of man he is after everything that happened to me I never thought I would be able to own another home because of some of the things I went through and this man bought me a house on the river. What I'm trying to say is it comes in grabs you when you least expect it don't look for it and it's going to come to you but when it does grab it and hold on and never let go it'll come it'll come trust and believe do not go to a bar to pick up a girl or a guy in a bar worst place to pick up a significant other that's place to pick up a one-night stand!!!!!!

My ex is from her second husband!!!!! She was an amazing woman...

The things That we talk about privately are con confidential and never be repeated. Like maybe a scatterbrain but I am loyal to a fault.. I am also glad that you it's nice to talk to somebody who actually understands what you're saying when you tell someone that you have found the other half of your soul.. because then you have to try to explain it to somebody and it's very hard to explain how that the love feels like no other Love could and some people like me feel very guilty about that once we find it's just crazy Howard grabs you and says you ain't going nowhere if you even wanted it to I was completely afraid when I explained it... I know you have found yours!!!!!! Most don't, they think they have until they actually meet the correct man if they ever do... You will know out otherwise it changes you from the inside out and feels incredible you can't picture yourself without this person in your life.

😢 as far as your grandfather's account if they allowed her to go in and use it and she's not on the account your bank has to replace that money because they should have never given it to her and that is a fact. The second card you need to have the pictures from the ATM more than Bank showing another person that's not you if you can prove that you have never use that card they have to give you the money back because they should have never allowed somebody to call in that was not you to order a second card in your name they don't even do those things anymore in your name you can only have one card if you want another card you have to add somebody to your account and they get a card in there named they do not do this double card thing anymore this is probably why... From experience your grandfather's account and any of the money that was taken from the second card the Bank owes you for because it was their error I know this from experience as far as you giving her your card anything that was taken out from your original card you gave her the VIN number so therefore they're not going to replace anything but the bank needs to go after her for the other two things and they have to replace your money. I wonder what patients has to say about this because my problem was over thirty years ago and I know a bunch of things have changed since then because of these issues but I'd like to know what she's got to say about it and how her rules would be at her bank f she's willing to say anything I mean if she doesn't want to go 9n KZread how about Patreon or DM????

My guess is that she had access to his information and had her husband call in pretending to be him. I do agree that the bank would be liable for that... it's the money spent with the card that gets tough. She had a copy and had permission, though the duplicate makes things complicated. I'm sure Patience would be willing to talk to you- do I have your email? I can her send you an email, I just don't want to post it here since it does have her full initials and people get weird :)

I'm really confused about the last one is she saying that he he was stalking her or was he just looking for a way to approach her and then found out that they had a lot in common so did a lot more research to that you know he didn't make a complete fool himself. If he was stalking you to be creepy you know that's not okay okay but if he was doing it to get the courage to talk to you because he wanted to see how much more, you had or a way to approach you I would think that would be sweet because if he's really that person that you've been talking to and falling for you know and he was just afraid that you were going to reject them because he's the guy from work that you keep looking over that you have no interest in that to be pretty romantic and a good way to know that he cares a lot that isn't that what you're looking for you know when you're trying to find a relationship and was he like getting information on the computer or was he following your family around and sucking them that would be the different but if you really have that much in common with this guy I don't understand why you wouldn't give him a chance to redeem himself or did you get a creep vibe????
