No need to apologize I love this channel I think you guys are great and the artwork is phenomenal! Thank you for sharing your story I hope to hear more personal stories from you guys.
Absolutely agree. It actually was one of the coolest episodes here on the channel as I know the most old „ well known“ stories here already and that’s something new for me then. :)
Yes, I loved it too and definitely want more as it gives us better insight and a deeper connection to the Bedtime Stories team we love. I'm also pleasantly surprised to hear Rich's beliefs are similar to my own.. not that I didn't trust his research or analysis before, but now I feel just a bit more comfortable accepting his conclusions without more research of my own.. if that makes sense, lol :D
What a pleasure it was to hear Rich speaking in a natural, relaxed way! So much more engaging. This narration is the best he's ever done. I could have listened to him speak for hours. It was authentic. Fantastic. More of this natural speaking voice please :)
I think i can explain why they are... The Scripted videos tend to cover supernatural stories that have a dramatic flare to them. They sound like something out of a horror movie or something. They are almost too good to be true. And that tneds to mean they are. But these are presented as just being real stories. They don't sound overly dramatic. They just sound like something your buddy would tell you while you where having a beer together. That real kinda sells the story way better. And in turn makes them more chilling. In the end, real is allways more scary then fiction. So the more believable it is the more real it is. Atleast that's how it works for me.
I agree! Personal accounts always seem more legit to me than the ones that have been told 1000 times, especially when they come from someone that you (sortof) know.
Wow this format shows how great you are as a narrator... it’s like having a completely different vocalist. Love this channel- the voice, the art, the skepticism, and the selection of stories make this far and away my favorite channel
I'm actually "spoiled" right now because of August 7-9. Not only did I see the final Henry Stickmin game (which is Completing the Mission), I also watched Amphibia and, more especially, The Owl House on Disney Channel and RUclips simultaneously. Not only was I given multiple endings from the HS game (not to mention some throwbacks in the form of its Remastered predecessors), I also watched a nostalgic Gravity Falls homage from the former show AND a groundbreaking prom-based episode from the latter (with an awesomely detailed and beautifully drawn "fairytale" dance/fight sequence to boot).
This was extremely entertaining. Please do have the rest of the crew share their experiences if they're willing! It makes you guys really relatable to the audience and we appreciate your work even more.
Great story about the ghost of the little girl, which I have no doubt at all that it happened exactly the way it was described. While I was living at my sister's place in Muswell Hill in London in 1973, I had two good friends who told me the following story; One day John went around to Tony's house, where he lived with his mum and dad, and sat in the front room waiting for Tony to get ready to go to the pub with him. When Tony came downstairs, John said that he had had a nice talk to Tony's grandfather, who had sat in an armchair in the front room with him. Tony went white in the face and said that his grandad has died a few years ago and had always sat in that same armchair ! My friends were two great lads and I had no reason to doubt their story at all.
Although I have never experienced anything paranormal and tend to be a skeptic, I am fascinated by these kinds of stories and always have an open mind. Keep up your amazing work!
@@freedomisslavery6840 Yeah, but when you're having strange activity in the first place anyway, an out of place loud noise that has no source whatsoever is kinda weird. I've never experienced anything paranormal, but I know loads of people who say they have. Personally I would put these loud noises down to Exploding Head Syndrome (seriously, look it up, that's what it's called) but when two or more people hear it, it can't be EHS.
Hearing the last story about weird things only happening when his girlfriend is alone is weird because I had similar experiences on the property I had grown up in. I had lots of "weird" things happen there, but the thing most relevant to this story was when I was about 11 - 12 years old, and moved into a new room in the house. Every night I would hear a thumping sound in the walls that seemed to move around and would go on for hours. It wasn't a super loud thump, just soft knocking like sound. Rationally, I just dismissed it as the house cooling down because it was night time and the boards in the walls creeking. However, was a very paranoid kid at the time, even though I knew rationally there was nothing to be afraid of. The sound still gave me an uneasy feeling and just made it hard to fall asleep. But then eventually I noticed that it didn't matter how late I stayed up, the knocking sounds would only begin when I turned the lights off and got in my bed, which freaked me out even more. I put up with the knocking in that room for months, and then one day, while I was trying to sleep but everyone else was still awake, I went out and just got someone else to come in the room to ask them what they thought the weird knocking sound was. But when I brought them in there... nothing... There was no sound. It was just silent. The person I brought in went "I don't hear anything." and left. Then I just turned the lights off and got back in bed... And then I hear the knocking sound again after just a couple of minutes. So I go out and get that person a second time and have them come in the room and... no sound. They leave, and I get back in bed and, the knocking starts again. Now I'm starting to think "Am I just imagining this sound? Is it all in my head?!" I decide to test the theory by getting out a digital audio recorder that I had and recording the sound. If the sound was just in my head, then I wouldn't be able to hear it on the recording. So I record the sound for a few minutes, I turn the light on so the knocking stops, and then I listen to the recording and yep... there is the knocking sound on the recording. The sound was real, I wasn't crazy, but now I had know idea what was going on. =P
You know there's a famous case I saw recently on one of those cable real-life crime shows where this girl kept hearing knocking and voices coming from the attic above her room. Everyone thought she was crazy. Then, as time went on, when the family would leave the house, they'd come back and they would find insane writing on the walls. Long story short, it turned out to be some crazy guy stalking her who had broken into her house and was living in her attic. It was like something from a horror movie.
It could be a rat that waited for the lights to go out, and for all human movements to subside, knowing that is a signal that for it to begin its activity. Throw some rat poison into the attic. Your ghost may quite suddenly disappear.
Real scary stories always give me chills. They are never over the top and you're never out of the realm of possibility. Stories about this leper man zombie dude appearing in peoples houses is pretty cool but seems far fetched to me. Stories like these seem authentic and real, that's why they're scary. Please make more.
When I was 16, at my aunt's summer house on Cape Cod, I was sitting crosswise on a bed -- back against the wall -- reading a book. Slowly at first and then quickening, the bed began to shake, up to the point where the headboard was smashing into the wall. I looked under the bed, thinking it was a prank, but there was no one there. It's what I think of as the Oh s*** moment, when you realize the paranormal is real.
When it comes to scary stories, not all of them send chills down my spine. Sometimes, I laugh, sometimes I get angry, or sometimes they just break my heart.
We have those scrumptious things in my home city as well. They're expensive imports but the cost is worth it for me and my family when we do buy some of these treats.
Your girlfriend's latent subconscious psychokinetic powers were telling you to clean up your own Ferrero Rocher wrappings, and maybe wash your own socks as well.
Nailed it in one! 😁 Lord knows, picking up the messes of other adults can stress me out; good thing I can't move things with my mind, or there would be quite a few folks around me with dents in their heads 😂
Lol, either that, or a spirit in her vicinity was happy to see her get together with him, but wanted him to do more housework. If i were a ghost, that’s what I’d do.
@Frank Pitts Depends. Him being lazy enough for her to BEGRUDGINGLY throw away the wrappers might be a possible obstacle for marriage to happen, not to mention the pressures of Brexit, COVID-19, and numerous economic debacles these days.
Nothing strange has ever happened to me, but my mother has a pretty good one. She was sitting in a room where she had loom, and my younger siblings were playing in the living room next to it. My grandpa, her father, was sitting there, watching them play, and she heard him say "kids be kids". He had a very distinct voice, and she was sure it was him. Except, grandpa lives hundreds of kilometers away. Two days later we got the call. Grandpa had died.
@@pcm2012 There was no one there when she went to check, if that's what you meant. She just heard him. And the kids were too young to tell if they had seen anyone, or even remember the event. It's pretty common for people to experience audio/visual hallucinations when under stress (e.g. when a family member has passed away), but I find this one strange since it happened before we even had a cause to worry.
Yeah, your grandpa was thinking too much abt the kids, eventually his soul/energy got in to your place to watch the kids one last time, and he might exclaimed "KIDS BE KIDS" and your mother heard it. It happens to the people as NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES like one last wish to GOOD SOULS.
@@Aloewells I'm willing to admit I have no idea what happened there, but unfalsifiable speculation doesn't lead anywhere either. I'd rather just appreciate that there might still be more mystery to life.
The little girl story is so sad. She probably attached herself to your friends family to well have a family to be with again. She probably can't find her real family so she picked your friend's.
No spirit of a kid wanders the realm of the dead. It's something else impersonating a girl who could might live there, or not. As I have seen in other cases, those spirit kids, with time, show themselves as a very different thing, depending on how much attention you pay to them, how much energy of your thoughts you focus on the phenomenon itself.
Your assessment on the ghost girl makes sense in a sad way. If only we could bring her to the good and heavenly afterlife somehow... Also, this doesn't explain why she's faceless.
I’m a big fan of this style of episode. It’s really cool to hear these kinds of stories first hand without the embellishment you might get from stories you find randomly online
About the UFO thingy: US navy pilots describe seeing a "flying sphere encasing a cube" in the recent UFO events off the US east coast in 2014. I don't know if that means anythin though. BTW: Can you do the 2004 Nimitz UFO event? I think your narration and the illustrations would be amazing! Getting goose bumps just writing this...
Best episode yet. That faceless girl story freaked me out. I've also heard stories about people who have dealt with seizures only to find that strange things start happening around them. I'm a skeptic too, but that story always made me wonder. I don't think your theory is too out of place, although it is crazy
I totally believe the story with the little girl. I`m a skeptic myself, but had similar experience while living in an old apartment in my city of Plovdiv Bulgaria.
Ferraro Rocher is one of my ALL-TIME favorite chocolates!! Anyway, I'd most recently subscribed this channel back on the evening of December 3, after having viewed the Risley episode. This channel is FRIGHTENINGLY AWESOME!! A HUGE thumbs up from the SF Bay Area!!
My God the quality of the art and animations has improved so much, it's quite impressive. Keep it up guys, I recall a time when you were desperately trying to keep the channel a float. I'm glad you guys are still going and gaining the momentum and subs you richly dederve.
This was really effective. Impacted in a different manner. Because you are telling us these, first hand. You have experienced and you conveyed. Definitely loving it. Keep'em coming.
This and wartime stories have become hands down one of my favourite youtube channels of all time. The effort put in is immense, and I adore every ounce of it.
Wonderful, and i completely believe you experienced these events -- whatever they ultimately were. Every single person experiences at least one unexplained event in their life. Also, your more causal way of speaking suits the personal tone of this video. Well done!
As this episode was mostly about first hand accounts, your omission of important information left me frustrated. How big really was that box of Ferrero Rocher? Are we talking 20? 30? 50?! Where I live I've only seen boxes of twelve and the plastic wrap with three. One Easter a few years back, I saw the coveted and elusive 96-pyramid, but never again.
not sure where you're located at but here in the US u can find that pyramid one at any and all walmarts during Christmas and thanksgiving time. LOL, hope that helps.
I've got to say this, while you were born to narrate...you should consider hypnosis videos as a side gig lol. You'd be legendary at that as well, my friend.
4 года назад+3
I'd also love Rich to narrate some creepy audio books, Dean Koontz, Stephen King etc!
I grew up in a haunted house. It is weird to be a scientific person my whole life and I can’t explain seeing these “ghosts” on many occasions. Being one of over a dozen people that I know have saw things there, along with a family cat and dog, it’s especially hard to dismiss. I love the channel, as does my wife! Keep up the great work!
I"ve been in a reputedly haunted building in the UK where I heard a loud crash in the basement, directly beneath my feet, as though a whole bookcase had been pulled down. Absolutely nothing had happened in terms of the bookcase. It was still standing downstairs. No books disturbed. But it was so loud that the floor shook. Very creepy. Until you've run across this experience you wouldn't believe it.
Brilliant. The time and place for these stories resonates with me, being from an English town (SW), calling for mates, staying home when the family went on holiday and smashing Ferrero Rochers!
The scariest experience I ever had was when I was sitting in my room at night at my desk and I kept thinking I would hear a noise but when I took my headphones off I would hear nothing. Then I heard something again and I took my headphones off once again, and as I sat there trying to hear any noise at all a sudden clear whisper came right into my ear. I am not kidding when I say that this whisper was so close and real that I felt the breath on my ear and I heard the smacking of lips as the whisper occured. I have never jumped up and ran as fast in my life, didnt sleep in my own room for months.
Of ALL your videos THIS was the MOST interesting and enjoyable to listen to because it was lively, more nuanced and coloured in its delivery than your other videos! Please use more of this approach for your narration. It's great to listen to you with this new approach as it brings in more richness in your story telling.
Six months old, but THIS is how you approach bizarre occurrences. Try and go through it logically, looking for causes and trying to replicate it through means you find possible. Yeah, I loved this, more whenever your group feels up to covering their experiences.
I've had 2 weird occurrences myself. First was that my fiance claims that she has had dreams where her dead relatives/loved ones visit her. I hadn't experienced this myself, in fact I rarely dream and when I do they tend to be incoherent and nonsensical. However, on a day close to Christmas I was sleeping on the couch with my newborn son in his crib. In the middle of the night I had an extremely vivid dream/vision where my fiance's German Shepherd, which had died 6 months earlier and had been her source of stability for nearly a decade, was sitting beside my son's crib, watching over him. I just had this instant sense that this was her way of saying that she was always going to watch over us and that I would do my part as well to be a worthy father. I've never had a dream like that before or since and you can certainly chalk that up to an overactive imagination, I choose to believe that was something more. The second was that I saw a goddamn chupicabra. Two complications worthy of note here: 1) I live in Canada, not Mexico; 2) I don't believe in chupicabras, I figure they're all just misidentified creatures. That said, I was driving home from work when, in broad daylight, something that looked like images of a chupicabra came out of the ditch, crossed the road and disappeared into the grass in front of me. It looked like a deer almost, but the tail was ratty, so maybe it was a coyote or dog but it did not appear to be one to me - not the right shape or size. I just kept coming back to chupicabra... and if a chupicabra is a misidentified animal, then this certainly fit the bill. I still don't believe in chupicabras, but I have no better or more accurate identification to give for what I saw that day.
I can't get this theory out of my mind when it comes to UFO's. It's definitely pseudoscientific as I am not a scientist and almost certainly have an imperfect understanding of the stuff that informs the theory. But do you remember when we start learning about the 3 dimensions in school and they first start off by describing a 2D world / "Flat World" and then describe what it would be like if a 3D object like a sphere were to pass through it? It would look first like a point, and then a line and then a wider line and then back down to a single point before disappearing... What if they are 4Dimensional entities/objects or just naturally occurring higher dimensional phenomena which under certain conditions can manifest in 3d and appear as lights or geometric 3d representations of what ever they are?
well considering there is evidence of that sort of thing confounding our perceptions in alot of different aspects, mirages, refractions, light through the atmospheres dust, etc. and comparitably less things that imply aliens concretely , then id say its a hell of alot likelier that we just dont know wtf we are actually seeing than advanced life observing us, but nothing is off the table for me at this point
That is a really mind blowing idea. But life doesn't exist in the 2nd dimension, so there would never be an observable instance where a 2D person has the chance to interpret a 3D object moving through its universe.
I remember watching a show about this theory. It suggested that if there was a 2D realm with living creatures in it, they would see us as gods. And the normal things we could explain by physics laws would be unexplainable to them. Because our laws do not exist in the 2D realm. Kind of like miracles to them. Then they talked about 4D realm and how an entity from that realm could do things that our minds cannot comprehend. Insane stuff.
Thankyou very much for sharing this. I find these stories totally convincing. In particular, the unexplained noises. I have read of cases where a sound described as being "like a grand-piano falling down a staircase" has occurred, but nothing appears out of place. I have had several "weird" experiences over many years (I am now a pensioner) but they were either trivial, or would not sound convincing unless they happened to you.
It’s always interesting to hear other people’s experiences. I’ve had a couple myself that are a little difficult to explain. Namely, seeing a person, dressed in clothing from the late 1800s, and a horse standing on the side of a roadway. There one second and gone the next. It was nearly 20 years ago and it creeps me out a little to this day.
I really like the fact that this channel presents things from a skeptic point of view, whilst keeping things nice n creepy and intriguing. Definitely addicted now lol.
Guys what ever happens to "the mysteries of the third Reich" series. You had said before you had it in the works and would be out soon. That was months ago. Thanks for THIS amazing video thou.
@@EphemeralProductions ummmm I think I had asked after that one and they had said they had more coming out...maybe not haha I accualy have got ADDICTED to scp story's mainly from the vulgun but if I am wrong and they did come out with another one after that there's SO many mystery story's they could do from them and anything from WWII I mean it's like endless material for them and ALOT of people love it not just myself ya know.
Just speaking personally, I find this so much more engaging! I'm not suggesting you all change your content, but it would be great if more personal stories could be sprinkled in.
The perfect channel; host; and supporting staff of illustrators & assistants. I especially respect your skeptical stance and candor. Thank you for putting out the best product in the market. Jr from Massachusetts, the Colonies.
I adore this episode. Will definitely rewatch it and your experiences are very fascinating Rich. I would love these episodes done on Mikey and Simon too....
I would tune in for more of these. I really enjoyed this style of story as well as the typical one's. Very well done and a great idea. Well put together as always. It's always a joy to see the notification that you guys have uploaded a new video.
I've had many seizures throughout my life caused by an irregular heartbeat. It was worse as a child. I've had several paranormal encounters but have never heard the two could be related. Additionally, after I began taking benzos for anxiety as an adult, all activity stopped. I know that these drugs also reduce seizures so could that be the real reason I no longer have these encounters? Great video as always.
Rapid Randy Hughes not sure your seizures and paranormal experiences are related, but given how benzos slightly dull your senses it seems reasonable to me that you'd be less sensible to paranormal energy and such (if it exists).
You mean that you’re thinking your seizures were a manifestation of a mental ability you had that was causing the experiences you had, that caused the activity to end when you ended the seizures?
Puppet Guy on what basis does it seem reasonable to you when you end the statement by suggesting the paranormal might not even exist? This is just talking out of your ass
One thing I've come to understand and learned in life so far is, there's still plenty of mystery left in world. Whether you believe it's from the unknown paranormal stuff or just other things that we've yet to discover. If the universe is as vast as we are made to believe, there's must still be plenty of things out there we haven't even began to understand. Otherwise, we would have known everything by now. 😁
I am loving this episode cause it feels very personal and it may happens to anyone. Something that makes you think and wonder if something is true or not but those certainly makes you freak out when it happens. Love love love this eps.
that was a cool episode , most people who haven't experienced 'stuff' usually conclude that it's imagination or fantasy, I never believed it and dismissed experiences of ghosts as hogwash - until we moved into our cottage in Somerset... the first morning around five am, i awoke to the smell of Capstan full strength cigarettes (neither of us smoke and the woman who had sold us the first hadn't either) it's a distinctly sulphurous smell and strong - every morning tis happened for approx six weeks. i worked from home and my office is the back bedroom, at 4.00 pm wish I felt someone watching me, but when I turned - no one, I could feel a presence in the house, but my wife noticed nothing. We made friends and had people over for dinner and one evening, one of the guys said "who's that bloke in the kitchen?" - I saw a shape, the women saw nothing. I used to hear footsteps on the stairs at night, someone coming home late - my wife nothing, I came home from the shops one day and caught out of the corner of my eye a face at the back bedroom window, my wife noticed nothing. In fact NO woman has ever felt or noticed anything, only men. after many years of living with this, one of the old chaps in the village told me about one of the previous occupants of our little cottage, a chap, a bachelor, who never married. He had been badly hurt by a girl in his teens and he had nothing to do with them afterwards. he worked as a farm labourer, got paid on a Friday and spent it by the Sunday, when he would lie in bed - smoking Capstan full strength.
That poor little girl at least she seems to have found a family to be with and your friend doesn’t seem to mind to much anymore about the young kid showing up every now again. :D

Sshhhwwweeettt. 2 videos. Thanks and love you guys...
Something must have happened with the upload, Got about 10 mins of nothing at the end
No need to apologize I love this channel I think you guys are great and the artwork is phenomenal! Thank you for sharing your story I hope to hear more personal stories from you guys.
@@lukegoss7402 I daren't watch through all of it in case there's a jumpscare in there or something.
Definitely want to see more like this, hopefully in the not too distant future. Congrats on the 100 mark - keep them coming!
Absolutely agree. It actually was one of the coolest episodes here on the channel as I know the most old „ well known“ stories here already and that’s something new for me then. :)
Michael Angel well I am sure they both are existing in the one or another way ;)
One of my favorite Bedtime Episodes in recently memory, so good. I need more!!
Yes, I loved it too and definitely want more as it gives us better insight and a deeper connection to the Bedtime Stories team we love.
I'm also pleasantly surprised to hear Rich's beliefs are similar to my own.. not that I didn't trust his research or analysis before, but now I feel just a bit more comfortable accepting his conclusions without more research of my own.. if that makes sense, lol :D
Looking forward to more of these! Congratulations Bedtime Stories!
What a pleasure it was to hear Rich speaking in a natural, relaxed way! So much more engaging. This narration is the best he's ever done. I could have listened to him speak for hours. It was authentic. Fantastic. More of this natural speaking voice please :)
I was thinking the same thing, I have to say that I prefer his 'natural' speaking voice as opposed to when he is narrating from a script.
He should like switch back and forth depending if the part calls for it.
I'll have to disagree there. The occasional lip smacking was pretty irritating
Cattibingo agree
It's so weird hearing Rich when he's not using a script.
He talks normaly and does not stress the ending of sentences that would end with a .....
I love it! It creates a different but very organic feel to the storytelling, I love how authentic it feels!
@Crom the Wise People who talk a lot get used to it. So if he writes and reads a lot of scripts he is used to that way of talking.
He sounds more natural and amiable.
So true lol but it's amazing !
These are even more chilling than the scripted stories..
Agreed
I think i can explain why they are... The Scripted videos tend to cover supernatural stories that have a dramatic flare to them. They sound like something out of a horror movie or something. They are almost too good to be true. And that tneds to mean they are. But these are presented as just being real stories. They don't sound overly dramatic.

In the end, real is allways more scary then fiction. So the more believable it is the more real it is. Atleast that's how it works for me.
I had a experience with a ghost as a kid.
I don’t reccomend it
Blessedup ok then...
I agree! Personal accounts always seem more legit to me than the ones that have been told 1000 times, especially when they come from someone that you (sortof) know.
Wow this format shows how great you are as a narrator... it’s like having a completely different vocalist.
Love this channel- the voice, the art, the skepticism, and the selection of stories make this far and away my favorite channel
Oh dude was not expecting anything else this makes tonight so much better
yup this is great
Anybody who goes by Nope is alright with me.
Two episodes in one day? We’re being spoiled here.
reminds me of the time when more than one Game of Thrones episode was leaked.
I just finished watching the Gurning Man and thought this one is an old episode. So it's special indeed.
I'm actually "spoiled" right now because of August 7-9. Not only did I see the final Henry Stickmin game (which is Completing the Mission), I also watched Amphibia and, more especially, The Owl House on Disney Channel and RUclips simultaneously. Not only was I given multiple endings from the HS game (not to mention some throwbacks in the form of its Remastered predecessors), I also watched a nostalgic Gravity Falls homage from the former show AND a groundbreaking prom-based episode from the latter (with an awesomely detailed and beautifully drawn "fairytale" dance/fight sequence to boot).
No one, Rich at 2 am: "Wouldn't it be cool if something weird happened to me?"
Ghost: "I got you bro." THUD
That ghost has a weird sense of humor and precise artistical knowledge. Don't you agree?
That wasn’t a ghost, it was a huge mouse with enormous biceps who banged on the wall!
This was extremely entertaining. Please do have the rest of the crew share their experiences if they're willing! It makes you guys really relatable to the audience and we appreciate your work even more.
Great story about the ghost of the little girl, which I have no doubt at all that it happened exactly the way it was described. While I was living at my sister's place in Muswell Hill in London in 1973, I had two good friends who told me the following story;
One day John went around to Tony's house, where he lived with his mum and dad, and sat in the front room waiting for Tony to get ready to go to the pub with him. When Tony came downstairs, John said that he had had a nice talk to Tony's grandfather, who had sat in an armchair in the front room with him. Tony went white in the face and said that his grandad has died a few years ago and had always sat in that same armchair ! My friends were two great lads and I had no reason to doubt their story at all.
Although I have never experienced anything paranormal and tend to be a skeptic, I am fascinated by these kinds of stories and always have an open mind. Keep up your amazing work!
I love hearing about your guy’s experiences
My father, who's 90.... tells tales about ghosts and they were always accompanied with very loud noises/crashes. Strange.
Or is it that people just link noises in the night or when alone in the house as being paranormal? Fear can make you believe and see strange things.
Mom must hate the stories and take it out on the dishes? Lol jk btw
Not necessarily always loud noises if you see them outdoors.
@@freedomisslavery6840 Yeah, but when you're having strange activity in the first place anyway, an out of place loud noise that has no source whatsoever is kinda weird. I've never experienced anything paranormal, but I know loads of people who say they have.

But when I brought them in there... nothing... There was no sound. It was just silent. The person I brought in went "I don't hear anything." and left. Then I just turned the lights off and got back in bed... And then I hear the knocking sound again after just a couple of minutes. So I go out and get that person a second time and have them come in the room and... no sound. They leave, and I get back in bed and, the knocking starts again.
Now I'm starting to think "Am I just imagining this sound? Is it all in my head?!" I decide to test the theory by getting out a digital audio recorder that I had and recording the sound. If the sound was just in my head, then I wouldn't be able to hear it on the recording. So I record the sound for a few minutes, I turn the light on so the knocking stops, and then I listen to the recording and yep... there is the knocking sound on the recording. The sound was real, I wasn't crazy, but now I had know idea what was going on. =P
It was probably a rat on the walls or some dumbass rodent.
You know there's a famous case I saw recently on one of those cable real-life crime shows where this girl kept hearing knocking and voices coming from the attic above her room. Everyone thought she was crazy. Then, as time went on, when the family would leave the house, they'd come back and they would find insane writing on the walls. Long story short, it turned out to be some crazy guy stalking her who had broken into her house and was living in her attic. It was like something from a horror movie.
It could be a rat that waited for the lights to go out, and for all human movements to subside, knowing that is a signal that for it to begin its activity. Throw some rat poison into the attic. Your ghost may quite suddenly disappear.
@@Strontyum It's an idea! 🙂
@T. Gorbach I think I know the story you mean! Think Mr Ballen's covered it too! 🙂
I genuinely prefer this type of non scripted video, it definitely gives off more of a fireside chat rather than a typical story video
Real scary stories always give me chills. They are never over the top and you're never out of the realm of possibility. Stories about this leper man zombie dude appearing in peoples houses is pretty cool but seems far fetched to me. Stories like these seem authentic and real, that's why they're scary. Please make more.
Sitting in the dark and drinking beer is about 80% of my life now.
Haha
Such a mood.
It’s a beer and a joint for me nowadays, thank goodness for legalization in time for this.
Like your last name.👻
Jesus is my life. And he works
When I was 16, at my aunt's summer house on Cape Cod, I was sitting crosswise on a bed -- back against the wall -- reading a book. Slowly at first and then quickening, the bed began to shake, up to the point where the headboard was smashing into the wall. I looked under the bed, thinking it was a prank, but there was no one there. It's what I think of as the Oh s*** moment, when you realize the paranormal is real.
When it comes to scary stories, not all of them send chills down my spine. Sometimes, I laugh, sometimes I get angry, or sometimes they just break my heart.
This one gets it
Yes, we do have Ferro Roche in the states, quite good. Enjoyed the personal stories, they were great!
i will never ever look at my Ferroro Roche wrappers the same way again
Do a search if you want to see the tacky advert we used to get on tv warning its really bad. Andy England 🇬🇧👍
We have those scrumptious things in my home city as well. They're expensive imports but the cost is worth it for me and my family when we do buy some of these treats.
They are one of my favorites. I’m in heaven every time i Eat the Giant One! lol
Ferrero is amazing 10/10
Your girlfriend's latent subconscious psychokinetic powers were telling you to clean up your own Ferrero Rocher wrappings, and maybe wash your own socks as well.
Nailed it in one! 😁
Lord knows, picking up the messes of other adults can stress me out; good thing I can't move things with my mind, or there would be quite a few folks around me with dents in their heads 😂
Lol
Lol, either that, or a spirit in her vicinity was happy to see her get together with him, but wanted him to do more housework. If i were a ghost, that’s what I’d do.
@@misskate3815 A matchmaker ghost?! That's nice, cute, creepy, and weird at the same time, I would say.
@Frank Pitts Depends. Him being lazy enough for her to BEGRUDGINGLY throw away the wrappers might be a possible obstacle for marriage to happen, not to mention the pressures of Brexit, COVID-19, and numerous economic debacles these days.
Nothing strange has ever happened to me, but my mother has a pretty good one.
She was sitting in a room where she had loom, and my younger siblings were playing in the living room next to it. My grandpa, her father, was sitting there, watching them play, and she heard him say "kids be kids". He had a very distinct voice, and she was sure it was him.
Except, grandpa lives hundreds of kilometers away.
Two days later we got the call. Grandpa had died.
Was he there watching them play? or was hundreds of kilometers away? Please, explain that part.
@@pcm2012 There was no one there when she went to check, if that's what you meant. She just heard him. And the kids were too young to tell if they had seen anyone, or even remember the event.
It's pretty common for people to experience audio/visual hallucinations when under stress (e.g. when a family member has passed away), but I find this one strange since it happened before we even had a cause to worry.
that's trippy as hell
Yeah, your grandpa was thinking too much abt the kids, eventually his soul/energy got in to your place to watch the kids one last time, and he might exclaimed "KIDS BE KIDS" and your mother heard it. It happens to the people as NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES like one last wish to GOOD SOULS.
@@Aloewells I'm willing to admit I have no idea what happened there, but unfalsifiable speculation doesn't lead anywhere either. I'd rather just appreciate that there might still be more mystery to life.
My favourite episode for ages. Well done Richard for telling these stories so well and in such a non sensational and relatable way.
The little girl story is so sad. She probably attached herself to your friends family to well have a family to be with again. She probably can't find her real family so she picked your friend's.
Possibly, or thats what it wants you to think.
That was never a human girl imo.
@@cepolt then what was it?
No spirit of a kid wanders the realm of the dead. It's something else impersonating a girl who could might live there, or not. As I have seen in other cases, those spirit kids, with time, show themselves as a very different thing, depending on how much attention you pay to them, how much energy of your thoughts you focus on the phenomenon itself.
Your assessment on the ghost girl makes sense in a sad way. If only we could bring her to the good and heavenly afterlife somehow... Also, this doesn't explain why she's faceless.
Would love to hear more “Hometown Haunts” stories from the entire team! Seems everyone has a spooky story.
Hearing about the team’s experiences and how that shapes the perspectives they have on the material is wonderful, please do more
I've seen your profile picture in a warhammer 40k group I'm in
I love this so much. The casual story telling is very touching, more personable.
I’m a big fan of this style of episode. It’s really cool to hear these kinds of stories first hand without the embellishment you might get from stories you find randomly online
About the UFO thingy: US navy pilots describe seeing a "flying sphere encasing a cube" in the recent UFO events off the US east coast in 2014. I don't know if that means anythin though. BTW: Can you do the 2004 Nimitz UFO event? I think your narration and the illustrations would be amazing! Getting goose bumps just writing this...
If there's one thing I know about the CIA, they know how to make us doubt and fear their existence.
They recently did a video on a USO. You can see a photo of the actual object that was said to be identical to the one involved with the Nimitz.
Michael Andrei Palon what the existence of themselves or Aliens? Your grammar is terrible so I can’t tell what you meant
They did briefly mention it.
About Ferrero Roche: Yes, we have them in the United States.
Best episode yet.
That faceless girl story freaked me out.
I've also heard stories about people who have dealt with seizures only to find that strange things start happening around them.
I'm a skeptic too, but that story always made me wonder.
I don't think your theory is too out of place, although it is crazy
Two uploads in one day, this must be a dream.
This was awesome! I actually really like listening to "chatty Rich." It's like having a good conversation about spooky stuff with a friend.
Thank you for sharing your stories !!! All I can say I believe you !!! Give us more !!!!
I too binge watch the bed time stories channel. The narration is brilliant
I totally believe the story with the little girl. I`m a skeptic myself, but had similar experience while living in an old apartment in my city of Plovdiv Bulgaria.
It was definitely good to hear the stories behind the people
That pyramid of wrappers with the socks on top was a mind blowing story!
I loved it! 🙂
About the chocolate, yes you can find them here in the U.S.
Ferraro Rocher is one of my ALL-TIME favorite chocolates!! Anyway, I'd most recently subscribed this channel back on the evening of December 3, after having viewed the Risley episode. This channel is FRIGHTENINGLY AWESOME!! A HUGE thumbs up from the SF Bay Area!!
I meant, Ferrero Rocher (hope to buy some after this Christmas🎄😊).
I really enjoyed the lack of script, it kinda makes it feel more like a podcast and helps solidfy this story as your own!
My boys telling they own storiesss now‼🙏🏼
I like this type of episode. Much more genuine since it’s personal experience.
This I did not see coming. I'm really excited, to say the least.
Thank you Rich for sharing your experiences with us. God bless you all
I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate skepticism in strange stories. It makes the best stories better when they pass the check.
My God the quality of the art and animations has improved so much, it's quite impressive. Keep it up guys, I recall a time when you were desperately trying to keep the channel a float. I'm glad you guys are still going and gaining the momentum and subs you richly dederve.
the quality is always getting better with this channel.
Me seeing the first upload: "Yesss!"
Me scrolling down and seeing another one: "YEEEEEEEES!"
theNobleTaco YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!
YESSSSSA! =)
This was really effective. Impacted in a different manner. Because you are telling us these, first hand. You have experienced and you conveyed. Definitely loving it. Keep'em coming.
This and wartime stories have become hands down one of my favourite youtube channels of all time. The effort put in is immense, and I adore every ounce of it.
This was interesting, definitely would like more in this style, hearing personal stories from the rest of the crew of from viewers/listeners
Wonderful, and i completely believe you experienced these events -- whatever they ultimately were. Every single person experiences at least one unexplained event in their life. Also, your more causal way of speaking suits the personal tone of this video. Well done!
As this episode was mostly about first hand accounts, your omission of important information left me frustrated.
How big really was that box of Ferrero Rocher? Are we talking 20? 30? 50?! Where I live I've only seen boxes of twelve and the plastic wrap with three. One Easter a few years back, I saw the coveted and elusive 96-pyramid, but never again.
😁
96! Ambassador, you spoil us!
That's not a detail someone usually would remember after all those years, even if someone did it's been so long its accuracy would be in doubt.
Ah, an intellectual in terms of chocolate package quality. Good for you, sir/madam.
not sure where you're located at but here in the US u can find that pyramid one at any and all walmarts during Christmas and thanksgiving time. LOL, hope that helps.
I personally like hearing YOUR stories/experiences. It makes you "more real" not just a story teller. Thank you
This was good, listening to first hand accounts of the strange and unexplained is never a bad time
I loved listening to your personal experience, can't wait for the others, if it works out that way!! 😍
I would definitely enjoy more stories like this.
The chocolate sock pyramid reminds me of the shopping/shower incidents in skin walker ranch. Great episode btw!
Even when it's just a bunch of personal stories, the production quality on this channel (art, music, writing, and narration) is still top notch.
You know, I've loved this channel since forever, but this is the best episode yet. The "personal touch" does a lot to enhance exploration.
This is better then anything you've guys have done. Totally drew me in. Kudos.👍
I've got to say this, while you were born to narrate...you should consider hypnosis videos as a side gig lol. You'd be legendary at that as well, my friend.
I'd also love Rich to narrate some creepy audio books, Dean Koontz, Stephen King etc!
OH my gosh you're totally right! He's voice is so relaxing!
Very interesting stories. I especially liked the "ghost girl".
As long as she's a nice ghost, we'll be fine living with her. Just please tell her to not invade your privacy, OK.
I grew up in a haunted house. It is weird to be a scientific person my whole life and I can’t explain seeing these “ghosts” on many occasions. Being one of over a dozen people that I know have saw things there, along with a family cat and dog, it’s especially hard to dismiss.
I love the channel, as does my wife! Keep up the great work!
Love hearing the experiences of your team. I don't know if more people have had these experiences but always love to hear about other people's.
We do have ferrero roche candies in USA... Love them! And I'd be interested in hearing more from the other guys too!
I love them so much
I've been meaning to try their ice cream.
Those are hella good. 🙂
This is a great idea. I don’t usually comment on anything. But I like the freestyle feel to the video
I"ve been in a reputedly haunted building in the UK where I heard a loud crash in the basement, directly beneath my feet, as though a whole bookcase had been pulled down. Absolutely nothing had happened in terms of the bookcase. It was still standing downstairs. No books disturbed. But it was so loud that the floor shook. Very creepy. Until you've run across this experience you wouldn't believe it.
Brilliant. The time and place for these stories resonates with me, being from an English town (SW), calling for mates, staying home when the family went on holiday and smashing Ferrero Rochers!
I'm not so sure that anyone would doubt your stories. Thank you.
bedtime stories: post 2 videos
me and the rest of the gang: impossible
To be honest the idea that humans could actually develop telekinesis powers is way cooler and scarier than any supernatural stuff
Oh, the fun I could have with fine tuned PK abilities. 😈
@@BennyLlama39 First you'd need to be named after a disease or parasite to be able to have PK or just have Invader Zim talk you through it.
Stephen King's Carrie and Dr. Seuss' Matilda would come to mind here. They could also be deemed a different sort of witches for many reasons.
i am having goosebumps at the very thought of that.. i find it extremely exciting and fascinating..
The scariest experience I ever had was when I was sitting in my room at night at my desk and I kept thinking I would hear a noise but when I took my headphones off I would hear nothing. Then I heard something again and I took my headphones off once again, and as I sat there trying to hear any noise at all a sudden clear whisper came right into my ear. I am not kidding when I say that this whisper was so close and real that I felt the breath on my ear and I heard the smacking of lips as the whisper occured. I have never jumped up and ran as fast in my life, didnt sleep in my own room for months.
What did the whisper say?
You might wanna get some medication
Well spit it out, what did it say? :)
Puppet Guy it said “grow up and stop jumping at your own shadow”
@@Robert-tl2vg Yikes bud
Of ALL your videos THIS was the MOST interesting and enjoyable to listen to because it was lively, more nuanced and coloured in its delivery than your other videos!
Please use more of this approach for your narration. It's great to listen to you with this new approach as it brings in more richness in your story telling.
Six months old, but THIS is how you approach bizarre occurrences. Try and go through it logically, looking for causes and trying to replicate it through means you find possible. Yeah, I loved this, more whenever your group feels up to covering their experiences.
I've had 2 weird occurrences myself. First was that my fiance claims that she has had dreams where her dead relatives/loved ones visit her. I hadn't experienced this myself, in fact I rarely dream and when I do they tend to be incoherent and nonsensical. However, on a day close to Christmas I was sleeping on the couch with my newborn son in his crib. In the middle of the night I had an extremely vivid dream/vision where my fiance's German Shepherd, which had died 6 months earlier and had been her source of stability for nearly a decade, was sitting beside my son's crib, watching over him. I just had this instant sense that this was her way of saying that she was always going to watch over us and that I would do my part as well to be a worthy father. I've never had a dream like that before or since and you can certainly chalk that up to an overactive imagination, I choose to believe that was something more.
The second was that I saw a goddamn chupicabra. Two complications worthy of note here: 1) I live in Canada, not Mexico; 2) I don't believe in chupicabras, I figure they're all just misidentified creatures. That said, I was driving home from work when, in broad daylight, something that looked like images of a chupicabra came out of the ditch, crossed the road and disappeared into the grass in front of me. It looked like a deer almost, but the tail was ratty, so maybe it was a coyote or dog but it did not appear to be one to me - not the right shape or size. I just kept coming back to chupicabra... and if a chupicabra is a misidentified animal, then this certainly fit the bill. I still don't believe in chupicabras, but I have no better or more accurate identification to give for what I saw that day.
Dog with mange...?
Why wouldnt you believe it if u literally saw it
Oh yeah, this is that good stuff.
I can't get this theory out of my mind when it comes to UFO's. It's definitely pseudoscientific as I am not a scientist and almost certainly have an imperfect understanding of the stuff that informs the theory. But do you remember when we start learning about the 3 dimensions in school and they first start off by describing a 2D world / "Flat World" and then describe what it would be like if a 3D object like a sphere were to pass through it? It would look first like a point, and then a line and then a wider line and then back down to a single point before disappearing...
What if they are 4Dimensional entities/objects or just naturally occurring higher dimensional phenomena which under certain conditions can manifest in 3d and appear as lights or geometric 3d representations of what ever they are?
@Roger Marks - I saw an episode of Cosmos with Carl Sagan explaining such things, I always thought that made the most sense to me.
well considering there is evidence of that sort of thing confounding our perceptions in alot of different aspects, mirages, refractions, light through the atmospheres dust, etc. and comparitably less things that imply aliens concretely , then id say its a hell of alot likelier that we just dont know wtf we are actually seeing than advanced life observing us, but nothing is off the table for me at this point
@@Choikesta that’s exactly what his comment is from. Almost verbatim
That is a really mind blowing idea. But life doesn't exist in the 2nd dimension, so there would never be an observable instance where a 2D person has the chance to interpret a 3D object moving through its universe.
I remember watching a show about this theory. It suggested that if there was a 2D realm with living creatures in it, they would see us as gods. And the normal things we could explain by physics laws would be unexplainable to them. Because our laws do not exist in the 2D realm. Kind of like miracles to them.
Then they talked about 4D realm and how an entity from that realm could do things that our minds cannot comprehend.
Insane stuff.
So Rich. That was amazing. Really enjoyed it. I don't really care if things are true or not. I just enjoy listening to the stories. Thanks so much!
Thankyou very much for sharing this. I find these stories totally convincing. In particular, the unexplained noises. I have read of cases where a sound described as being "like a grand-piano falling down a staircase" has occurred, but nothing appears out of place. I have had several "weird" experiences over many years (I am now a pensioner) but they were either trivial, or would not sound convincing unless they happened to you.
I really enjoyed this change in style, however I always love the stories. More like this would be great.
It’s always interesting to hear other people’s experiences. I’ve had a couple myself that are a little difficult to explain. Namely, seeing a person, dressed in clothing from the late 1800s, and a horse standing on the side of a roadway. There one second and gone the next. It was nearly 20 years ago and it creeps me out a little to this day.
Great to catch an episode while having a beer before bed.
by far my favorite paranormal channel on youtube.
I really like the fact that this channel presents things from a skeptic point of view, whilst keeping things nice n creepy and intriguing. Definitely addicted now lol.
Guys what ever happens to "the mysteries of the third Reich" series. You had said before you had it in the works and would be out soon. That was months ago. Thanks for THIS amazing video thou.
P.s. I appreciate you not being a *ick about it
Are you talking about the 4th installment? They’ve already done 3 installments of it so far.
@@EphemeralProductions ummmm I think I had asked after that one and they had said they had more coming out...maybe not haha I accualy have got ADDICTED to scp story's mainly from the vulgun but if I am wrong and they did come out with another one after that there's SO many mystery story's they could do from them and anything from WWII I mean it's like endless material for them and ALOT of people love it not just myself ya know.
PLEASE, PLEASE do a video on the Flatwoods incident
Just speaking personally, I find this so much more engaging! I'm not suggesting you all change your content, but it would be great if more personal stories could be sprinkled in.
The perfect channel; host; and supporting staff of illustrators & assistants. I especially respect your skeptical stance and candor. Thank you for putting out the best product in the market.
Jr from Massachusetts,
the Colonies.
I adore this episode. Will definitely rewatch it and your experiences are very fascinating Rich. I would love these episodes done on Mikey and Simon too....
I would tune in for more of these. I really enjoyed this style of story as well as the typical one's. Very well done and a great idea. Well put together as always. It's always a joy to see the notification that you guys have uploaded a new video.
I've had many seizures throughout my life caused by an irregular heartbeat. It was worse as a child. I've had several paranormal encounters but have never heard the two could be related. Additionally, after I began taking benzos for anxiety as an adult, all activity stopped. I know that these drugs also reduce seizures so could that be the real reason I no longer have these encounters? Great video as always.
Stories?
Rapid Randy Hughes not sure your seizures and paranormal experiences are related, but given how benzos slightly dull your senses it seems reasonable to me that you'd be less sensible to paranormal energy and such (if it exists).
You mean that you’re thinking your seizures were a manifestation of a mental ability you had that was causing the experiences you had, that caused the activity to end when you ended the seizures?
Puppet Guy on what basis does it seem reasonable to you when you end the statement by suggesting the paranormal might not even exist?
This is just talking out of your ass
One thing I've come to understand and learned in life so far is, there's still plenty of mystery left in world. Whether you believe it's from the unknown paranormal stuff or just other things that we've yet to discover. If the universe is as vast as we are made to believe, there's must still be plenty of things out there we haven't even began to understand. Otherwise, we would have known everything by now. 😁
Absolutely love this episode. Thanks!
I am loving this episode cause it feels very personal and it may happens to anyone. Something that makes you think and wonder if something is true or not but those certainly makes you freak out when it happens. Love love love this eps.
that was a cool episode , most people who haven't experienced 'stuff' usually conclude that it's imagination or fantasy, I never believed it and dismissed experiences of ghosts as hogwash - until we moved into our cottage in Somerset... the first morning around five am, i awoke to the smell of Capstan full strength cigarettes (neither of us smoke and the woman who had sold us the first hadn't either) it's a distinctly sulphurous smell and strong - every morning tis happened for approx six weeks. i worked from home and my office is the back bedroom, at 4.00 pm wish I felt someone watching me, but when I turned - no one, I could feel a presence in the house, but my wife noticed nothing. We made friends and had people over for dinner and one evening, one of the guys said "who's that bloke in the kitchen?" - I saw a shape, the women saw nothing. I used to hear footsteps on the stairs at night, someone coming home late - my wife nothing, I came home from the shops one day and caught out of the corner of my eye a face at the back bedroom window, my wife noticed nothing. In fact NO woman has ever felt or noticed anything, only men. after many years of living with this, one of the old chaps in the village told me about one of the previous occupants of our little cottage, a chap, a bachelor, who never married. He had been badly hurt by a girl in his teens and he had nothing to do with them afterwards. he worked as a farm labourer, got paid on a Friday and spent it by the Sunday, when he would lie in bed - smoking Capstan full strength.
It’s a great bonus for us hearing you off script, look forward to more hopefully.
That poor little girl at least she seems to have found a family to be with and your friend doesn’t seem to mind to much anymore about the young kid showing up every now again. :D
This is the channel that i always come to when im bored.
More, more, more, more and more, please. A very enjoyable way to pass 27 + mins. Adrian.
