My theory is that the stalker “loved” the narrator so much that he couldn’t bring himself to actually act out what he had planned to do (maybe why he never actually took him previously) so he took the next best thing. This story KILLS me, I always feel sick when I think about it. So naturally I watched this entire video.
I think the stalker thought the best friend WAS the narrator. Because it’s mentioned casually several times how they look so much alike they could be brothers
@ oh yeah, them looking alike is why I referred to Josh as “the next best thing” but that’s definitely super likely too
Thanks so much for watching this video! I know my videos that aren’t about icebergs don’t get nearly as much attention but this was honesty my favorite video I’ve made so far. I had a ton of fun making it. Thanks again!
You should be quite proud of yourself! After finding your iceburg pt 1, I dove into some of your older videos. I am dyslexic and have never been a big reader, but i love horror and good stories. So videos like yours make me so happy that i can enjoy these stories too :) Keep up the good work!
Ahhhhh my favorite youtuber has posted. Time to make my tea and listen to the most disturbing concepts known to man.
Great video, especially with the analysis at the end. In the most complimentary way possible, this felt like watching Wendigoon. Keep up the great work!
creepcast mentioned 🗣🗣‼️‼️
also just a tiny correction, the narrator wasn't present when josh's body was discovered and only found out later, which makes it even more tragic imo
great video as always!!
Oh man great video. I’ve been putting off reading Penpal for a WHILE but getting this notification finally got me to crack it last night. Five star read. Definitely thought it was his dad the whole time and was constantly let down by that if it was the twist. When that didn’t turn out to be the case I was really pleasantly surprised.
I almost didn't watch this because I saw Creep Cast's video in PenPal but I really enjoyed your synopsis on it. As always, keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching! Yeah I hadn’t read Penpal in years before I watched Creepcast do it and was pleasantly surprised at how great it still is. I was worried it was another Jeff the Killer situation but I’m glad it was just as terrifying as I remembered it being.
So recently, I picked up an old Polaroid camera. It was in a thrift shop for like $3, unverified operating conditions. I'm a fan of vintage photography, and I've always loved the charm of Polaroids, but never saw the sense in buying these new ones that are hundreds of dollars. Anyways, I digress.
I got home and researched what film I needed, ordered a pack, and in a few days, it was on my front porch. Excitedly, I opened the film and loaded it into my camera. My toddler son was shadowing me, so I decided to take his picture first. When I popped the shutter button, the camera worked perfectly, dispensing the film slide with a mechanical WRRRRRR, following by the clicking of the shutter resetting itself.
I haven't thought about this story since CreepCast covered it, but as soon as I heard that, it literally sent a chill down my spine. I remembered Pen Pal, and how the kids are arguing about the sound they hear in the woods. It sounded like a robot.
Anyway, I'm now selling a nice Polaroid if anyone wants one.
So good! I read the novel last year and had only learned THEN that it started on Reddit. It moved so fast and was so stressful (the fact that the man was living under their house? for how long? and then moved into the kid's room? No thanks!!) that when I was done, I was glad BUT I ALWAYS recommend it. These are definitely interesting theories and I kinda wanna revisit it now in a new lense.
Telling a child to give his address and info to a complete stranger through a balloon is INSANE.
Yeah it’s a little far fetched even if it was supposed to be like the 80s or 90s haha
It was the school's address. I mean, their photo is bad enough but still.
ok i just tried to listen to this audiobook prior to watching your vid and accidentally downloaded a romance novel with the same name.. didnt realize until an hour in, i'm crying
So I always share this story but my girlfriend and I read books out loud together often. I'd read Penpal a few times but I thought she'd like it so I picked it once when it was my turn. She was so horrified and cried so hard I lost my story choosing privileges for a while 😂
Love Penpal, happy to see it get the recognition it deserves nowadays.
Sidenote, love all the Modern Baseball and Dear Hunter vinyls.
30:19 bro this part always makes me sob
Even though josh was scared and being stalked when he came over to the narrators birthday he still went out to the woods to continue the first thing that made them close ughhhh sobbing 😭♥️
I feel like the stalked loves the narrator so much he couldn't bring himself to kill him so he took the "next best thing" because josh looks like the narrator and the narrator loves him🥲
In my early teens I sneaked out of my house and went for a walk around the neighborhood. It was the middle of the night. I was walking down the street when I saw a car coming. Being that I was a kid, alone on a dark street I thought I was going to get in trouble so I quickly jumped into some large shrubs. Me and my friends used to play in these bushes because they were dense on the outside but large and open inside. If you’re familiar with pittosporum shrubs then this will make sense. When the car got closer it stopped and the driver got out. At this point I was as quiet as I could be. I thought it might be a police officer but I also thought it could be a guy with bad intentions. They never said anything and I couldn’t see them through the foliage. I just kneeled there hoping they would give up. I dont know how long the person stood there but eventually they got back in and drove off. I went straight home and never sneaked out again.
Thank you so much, its a great video. I gotta say I'm so glad i found your channel a while back, you've got so many interesting and diverse videos with genuinely interesting takes, awesome work!!
You described that little vignette from your childhood towards the end very well - def creeped me out. You’re a great writer, man.
Great creepypasta and very good video! Thanks for sharing :D
8:55 missed opportunity to say “what about you, editor davis?”
Thanks!
Penpal is one of my favorite stories ever! never clicked a notification so fast
This book had me hyperventilating, crying, shaking, on the floor reevaluating everything I’ve ever known
Penpal is definitely a haunting read. Sticks with you.
I love this video so much thank you for making it😊

god penpal fucked me up so bad when I first read it. Not even in a scared way but in just a deeply unsettled and depressed way. I felt *haunted*
