      @@brandonmusick77 I'd assume there'd likely be rats, & possibly even raccoons, opossums, snakes, & other types of smaller swamp fare down there. It kinda depends on how exactly the environment outside of the structure connects with the environment inside the structure. Just because those kids could only find or only knew of one spot where they could enter doesn't necessarily mean there aren't others, possibly hidden from sight, where other critters can find their way into the building.

      Especially when all of those papers that were plastered on the wall saying “SHE GOTTA RUN”! It most definitely was a serial killer who must’ve been living down there and they were only killing girls. That’s probably the only reason he got away.

As a woman the latest murder-based podcast exclusives have been difficult to hear about, and I always admired that your content was different than the oversaturated male predator violence market out there. It'd be great to hear more strange, dark & mysterious surrounding non-violent experiences or at least less male on female violence. I'd personally love to hear more haunted/legitimately terrifying places, abandoned places, etc.! Your content is so fresh and unique- I know you can bring a lot of great tales to your loyal audience :)

      Growing up in the countryside I'd always throw on old clothes with the actual intention to ruin them. When Mr.Ballen said this about the boys I got a hit of nostalgia, not only would I do it for these sort of reasons (you never know what exploring the unknown is going to require) I also remember the feeling of excitement I'd have putting them on. Like whatever this adventure throws at me I'm ready. Of course you'd need more than old clothes to fend of an alligator but that's the way my child brain worked haha

    True story of a college friend: she was in an older medical building for her toddler son’s doctor’s appointment. On the way out the son wants to take the elevator. They go from the 2nd to the 1st floor, at which point the elevator jerks, then falls into the basement. The elevator is now tilted and as she is pressing the buttons (which do nothing) she hears a weird noise. Then water starts sweeping into the bottom of the elevator...they had fallen onto a water main. She manages to pry the door open, at which point the water is knee deep. She carries her son out, up a flight of stairs and back to the doctor’s office to say what happened. As she goes back down, the water had reached the top couple stairs leading back down to the basement. She later found she had a tibial plateau fracture from the fall, but was just thankful she did not drown or get electrocuted with her son. Happened in NJ about 14 years ago.

It was just a homeless person but it scared the absolute shit out of me because I didn't expect anybody to be there. They had to have been sitting there silently for about 5-6 hours because nobody came in or out while I was up there, and I even ate my lunch up there by myself.

      Alligators can reach that theoretical speed, but they almost never actually hunt that way. They are naturally ambush predators who attack with a burst of speed at the water's edge, not by running after prey on land. Unless they see you as a threat, they will just return to the water and wait for easier prey.

      When I was a kid, I was scared of basements because in 1979 I had my first and only sighting of a ghost in our very own basement. The house was built in 1906 and had an unremarkable history but on that fateful day I was doing something in the workshop alone. I heard something, and looked up to see an old man with a terrified expression on his face running towards me with a flashlight. The whole sighting lasted just one second or so, but I was scared as hell. For years afterwards I would force my brother to go downstairs with me anytime I wanted to use the workshop. My theory was that maybe this old man saw ME as a ghost in HIS timeline in the 1930s or 40s because somehow our timelines intersected in that one instant. I assumed he was from the 30s because he had this worker's hat on (not sure how to describe it, like a puffy baseball cap).

    I'm shocked no one mentioned wendigo for the first story. One of the "skills" to lure humans is for the Wendigo to mimic a voice the intended victim is familiar with in order to lure them away. Had major "Until Dawn" vibes. If anyone is a gamer, that game is up your alley.

A wendigo is someone who has consumed human flesh so much that it drove the them insane and changed their bodies to become faster and more ravenous. They are stealthy, smart, and apex predators who use their ability to mimic people in order to thin a "herd" of humans.
