I like when you include stories that are not about cryptids. Reminder that people can be monsters too.

Yes! I've actively already made the decision if Im ever in a situation where people are blocking my car in and I feel in danger, I'll just have to live with the fact I may end lives by stepping on the gas..... but it was their stupid actions, not mine. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I love you stories. 💗 Keep up the good work!

Yeah I’m With you. Idk if it’s just me but it sounds like a story that was embellished a whole Lot to make It seem terrifying. Bc from what I heard I think it translates to once upon a time the OP was a young attractive waitress/bartender/swimsuit model, given she described herself being 5’8 & 120 lbs, & that this hunk grabbed her wrist & asked her to dance. Given she said he was 6’8 400 lbs, im guessing she assumed this guy was a pro-athlete or maybe WWE superstar. She starts “twisting & writhing around” which is YT friendly for saying she began seductively gyrating & everything seemed swell…until she realized he apparently hadn’t thought to freshen up before asking her hand/wrist at the club. So she basically tells him he’s way too smelly for her & that he won’t be getting lucky tonight…they separate, she laughs about his B.O. with her model friends, & she assumes she won’t see him again. However, unbeknownst to her he couldn’t handle her rejecting him & insulting his hygiene…whatever the case was he can’t get her body out of his mind so he starts to stalk her & eventually shows up at her door, incessantly knocking & wont leave. Forcing her to call police & have possible restraining order filed. I’m pretty certain that was the extent of it… that version just isn’t exactly “paranormal” however😂

Hey Darkness,longtime listener. This is some feedback so take it as you will. I’m gona speak for myself but assume for the comments others feel the same way. I don’t like the “people are bad” stories because I already in general have a hard time telling myself people are not evil. I mean half the cryptids you cover have one time or another been blamed for something horrible because we don’t like to think that our neighbors are capable of such things. Personally I’ve seen a good bit of bad in this world and I try to tell myself not everyone is bad. Maybe ease up on those kinds of stories? I’ll always be a supportive fan and this is just feedback.

They hate hearing about bad people because it f’s with their delusions of a world where nothing bad ever happens, that woman can walk/drive down the street at 1 in the morning in a sketchy neighborhood and everything will be perfectly fine. If not, they have to be pessimistic about _everyone_ and hide in their cry closet. A smart person learns from their mistakes. A wise person learns from the mistakes of others.

@@FireStick-nu4pn I really have to agree with you 100%. It really is a jungle out there, so you just have to be very sure, you are not broadcasting as prey. You know in my experience, it has a lot to do with who you are & how you carry yourself. If you walk head down, spine bent , little furtive steps & act like a victim , or seem lost, or unsure... you appear vulnerable to predators. Like an invisible target only they can see & sense. Martial arts taught me how to not walk like a victim. Also not dulling your senses with a large enough amount of any type of intoxicants, is another good survival tactic. Staying in tune with everything around you in a confident manner. Head up, no need for eye contact, stride forward , you know where you're going, you're enjoying your brisk walk back to the car, parked 2 miles away, in the South of Market St. in San Francisco at 2 am. ( that's based on reality ) Actually , I have never had any problems going anywhere at any hour. I am 110 lbs. & 5' 3". So it's all how you carry yourself. Someone said I walk like a man with something g dangerous in his pocket & I am female. Yes, a young man from Israel told me that , when I was visiting the Grand Canyon . I took a train across the southwest for 7 days, by myself, for my 25th birthday. Best thing I ever did for my self-confidence. The ONLY PLACE I've EVER been seriously victimized, is in my own home, not out in the streets. Because when we are at home, we don't always want to have our backs to the wall & our spidey senses pinging at full bore 24/7, we just are tired & really want to stand down, for a minute or two. That's when they get you, right as you exhale.
