    Bedtime Stories is a good channel. They tell it more in an entertainment way, kinda like telling ghost stories around a campfire. There's also Wartime Stories which is the same but military stories.
    But back in the 90's, my dad was an EMT. This was when airbags were still fairly new. Someone glued those little plastic gems all over their steering wheel. You can imagine the results after they crashed.

    I've yet to see this car or meet this woman. I've heard this story but there's no local news about her or the story. This makes me think this is something largely limited to the internet.
    Then again, I kind of ignore the news unless prompted by something external (usually someone telling me about the news).

    29:57 "Cars can't be possessed or haunted". I'm gonna stop you right there....when I was in college I had a 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix that I'm pretty sure was trying to kill me. I know GM's quality control was complete shit in the 1990's, but this particular car acted like it was the beneficiary of my Life Insurance Policy.

    Okay so, you note at 33 mins the station as KXAN, I think. That station is in Austin, TX and would not be in Maine regardless, it would start with a W. "All broadcast call signs in the United States begin with either "K" or "W", with "K" usually west of the Mississippi River and "W" usually east of it. Initial letters "AA" through "AL", as well as "N", are internationally allocated to the United States but are not used for broadcast stations."

    On the gold color, 1964 was the 50th anniversary of Dodge and so a lot of the mid and full sized cars got 'anniversary gold' paint. Including my old '64 330 that finally went to the scrap heap with over half a million miles on it.

      One year over the Xmas summer holidays my best friend and I were introduced to the movie. I think we watched it until the tape died, it wasn't scary, but we got addicted to the music from that movie - much to our parents initial befuddlement, understanding and finally amusement.

    Simon I do not want to be the bearer of bad news but this is a genuine tree and real story and personally one of my favorite automotive semi horror stories
    And I don't want to sound like a downer but this is the first and only time with any of your uploads since almost the beginning of your back catalogue that I have to contest the way it is told and the way it has been written because although it does sound quite ridiculous there is quite a lot more to this subject that has been left out like multiple upon multiple further influences involving separate unfortunate events and with the entire start to finish detailed story laid out it is quite a rather intriguing and very very mysteriously interesting story regardless of face value does have verifiable evidence quite easily able to be found and references every incident in detail with authentication as a point of proof for every individual situation along the cars timeline
    And although I am not anywhere near up to the task of putting pen to paper in the way that you're extremely talented group of authors can I would insist that you put it out amongst your team for a research and a rewriting of the script because I never felt any ill contempt for negative feelings towards any of your uploads and have been watching for like said pretty much door beginning and with this one and only upload covering the golden eagle 64 dodge Polaris story I genuinely feel that it does need more of the entire timeline plotted in the same way that nearly all of your videos are written because once again this is I genuine story with quite a rather mysterious nature about it in a similar vein to James 1955 Porsche spider "lil Bastard" roadster
    But they do not take this and the negative way that it does unfortunately come across because I have nothing but praise and admiration for you and your career as we both come from the same year, 1987 end although I never rose to near many success I do not have a ill word to say about the level of achievement You have risen to.
    But please take it as a slight expression of mine to not towards hopefully a very polished and well expressed very upload of this
    Once again thank you for all your work assignment as it is one of my most what channels on RUclips across your entire catalog and please keep up the top work that you do bring and that we all love from you
