I read Barbara's book about her ordeal, "83 Hours Til Dawn" when I was in grade school. It frightened the hell out of me, as I have always been claustrophobic. That photo of her with the sign has always haunted me as well.
I almost had an anxiety attack listing to it and I don't usually get like that. It's like a movie that's set around water, I'll draw my knees to my chin before I realize what I'm doing. 🙄😁🤣
This was my hometown and I remember when this happened. Every mother was terrified and parents spoke in hushed tones. Horrifying ordeal and miraculous outcome.
I have started listening to these again. Had forgotten how good they were. Why have you stopped doing them? UIM sure I’m not the only one that misses them.
I loved this story! Mostly because there was a happy ending! But I absolutely LOVE your narration, research, knowledge, details, & the WHOLE shebang! Thank you for your videos!
How in the name of all things good in the world does a kidnapper who buries someone alive get only TEN YEARS in prison with a LIFE sentence?????? Needless to say, the second he was free, he went on a million crime sprees.
As messed up as it is their is a reason. They have to leave some incentive to leave the victim alive. If the sentences are the same they will figure they might as well kill the victim bc it's the most likely way to get caught if they are gonna get life anyway these psychopaths won't leave witnesses
Look, he was a very good boy in prison and promised he'd never be bad ever again. Prison's a scary place and he definitely learned his lesson. Cuz that's how prison works, right?
@@LaffeeTaffeeGG Sadly the American prison system usually worsens the situation. The prison system isnt incentivized to keep people out, or rehabilitate criminals. On top of that, the techicalities and semantics of law almost always prevent the court system from charging someone beyond the legal boundaries. If so it becomes a slippery slope. Just glad that the story had an ending where Barbera survived, and the perp got caught.
You should read the book "The Voyeur's Motel" it's really interesting and shocking in a very different way. But... It still deals with a very real motel of horrors.
This story really hits close to home--literally. Im in the Dacula district not even 40 minutes from where this all happened, yet had never heard about this story til this video. Thank you!!
Dahlonega GA here. I remember when this happened. I was just a kid at the time, but it was all over the news (AJC, Channels 2, 5, and 11). Freaky story!
I love this channel . The beginning of the episode , the theme music, the opening of the waterfall and car headlights , I love it all. I discovered somewhere sinister yesterday and haven't stopped listening lol I fell asleep to it , brushed my teeth to it and now waiting for my Uber listening to it . I love hearing stories from the 1950's and 60's . Such well researched and incredibly told . Thanks bud
And a couple things you didn't mention about Krist was that after he got out of prison (and before becoming a drug smuggler), he actually managed to get himself a pardon, studied medicine in Grenada and Dominica, and went on to become a doctor in Indiana. His license got suspended a couple years later because he didn't disclose a disciplinary action against him. He's still alive and lives in Pelican, Alaska...Population 88
Indiana gave him a probationary license. Which required him to appear before the medical board every six months. No telling what he would have done if the state hadn't kept a close eye on him.
This was the best one yet I really hope at some point you start doing these more I couldn’t stop listening I’m a truck driver so I love listening to these while I’m driving
I get at least 3 or 4 notifications a week, between This is Monsters and Somewhere Sinister!! I don't know how you do it all. Sure am happy you can! Thanks for all you do!
THANK YOU! I saw the TV movie about this when I was a kid in 1972, but I never could remember the name of it ("The Longest Night"). I've remembered it all my life, but have never seen it since that first time when it came out. It absolutely creeped the 9 year old me out! Now I'm going to have to go try and find it.
I have to admit, I love everything you do! I'm a huge fan of both your channels and would listen to read the ingredients on a cereal box.... 🤣 Seriously though, you have an excellent voice for the narration of your channels. Just wanted to say, you are most definitely appreciated for all you do! 💗
This reminds me of that kidnaping where the perps ended up doing the same thing, but put a pipe the width of a McDonald's straw into the box for air -- I guess so he couldn't be heard shouting? Yeah, he was dead within a few hours. So glad this guy had a job building these boxes with proper ventilation. Also, screw the front desk clerk who "didn't want to get involved" and untie that poor woman.
I grew up in north Georgia and I remember this story well. It was all over the Atlanta newspapers and TV stations. I was 9 years old at the time. It creeped me out!
Has anyone comment about the Norman Bates vibe going on here? REET REET REET REET 🔪🔪🔪🔪 Thank you for the amazing upload Jiles I appreciate you! 🙏🙏🙏💛💛💛 And hello fellow MONSTERs 👋🏼💛
Yo!!!! Happy ending all around!!! I was on the edge of my seat though!! Small confined spaces freak me out. I get anywhere close to a small enclosed space and I start losing my breath. I even learned being strapped down and unable to move on my own, has the same affect. (Arms were stretched out and strapped at the wrist when I had my C-section, something they don’t tell you about before hand) and my greatest fear is drowning. Not just any way of drowning, open water doesn’t scare me. It’s the fear of being stuck inside of something filled with water and slowly filling up or running out of air before finding the way out. So basically drowning in small enclosed spaces.
My nightmare way to die would be to slide head first down a pipe slightly larger than my body which is on a 45 degree angle with water at the bottom. Completely irrational I know but it's always been that. And when I was young I would frequently jump on the backs of alligators in the swamp at night to wrestle with them and see their reaction. Had a gun to my head twice. I even actually drowned 3 separate times where I had to be resuscitated. But that irrational ass pipe in the ground seriously haunts my dreams on a regular basis. I hope it isn't some kind of foreshadowing.
@@Dakestheman hahahaha I can relate. The story about John Jones and the Nutty Putty cave, gave me so much anxiety that it made my body hurt and my I felt like I couldn’t get a deep breath, just listening to it. Listening to those kinds of stories take me a while to get through because I have to stop when the anxiety gets bad and get my shit together before I can carry on. I know I will never purposely put myself in a situation like that but now it’s my stupid kids I worry about. They haven’t lived long enough to be aware of just how dangerous everything can be and they still have that “ carpe diem “ oh wait, my bad, I believe they say “yolo”.
@@Dakestheman also, that’s a pretty interesting life you are living. I myself have never considered even once what kind of thoughts or reactions a crocodile might have about anything. Certainly not what it would think if I just jumped on its back and challenged it to a wrestling match. Ps. Stop drowning.
@@Seekingheros Yeah that nutty putty cave incident messed with me bad the first time I heard it. An ex tried to get me to watch a movie about by saying it was something else... That's not the whole reason she's an ex but it didn't help. And the gators... I just liked to show people how crazy it was that an 8 to 10 ft long literal killing machine freaks out when a little 5'9" guy jumps on it and slaps it in the face... Just have to be sure you're fast enough to get back in the boat before it's tiny brain realizes it just missed an easy meal hah. Also it was 100% my dad's fault every time I filled my lungs with water, but he knew how to get it back out quickly enough... I was 6 the last time, 37 now. And I must say that I'm not even remotely interested in showing people how to scare alligators anymore. YOLO after all right?
I never used to be claustrophobic but this story and "Caving Gone Bad" stories get a big NOPE from me. I'd read a Reader's Digest story about this case in the early 70's. Scary stuff 😬
I've been extremely claustrophobic since I can remember. Elevators make me nervous. I worked on the 15th floor of an office bldg for a couple years and it was packed at 5:01 p.m.! I can't sit in the back of a two-door, have to be on an aisle seat in an airplane or a theater. I would have tried to gouge their eyes out, but I'm 6'1" and 220 lbs, so I feel for Barbara. ( Years of therapy & we think my condition is because my Dad would wrestle with me when I was a young boy & he held me down way after I couldn't take it anymore. He too was a big man & I was just a skinny kid. This was always after dinner, so he had a martini or two and a beer or two along with a huge meal in his sytem. Thanks dad.)
@@mrd3016 you and I are so much alike. I don't do elevators, the back seat of a 2 door car, small rooms and bathrooms with the doors closed or anything similar. I can't even begin to imagine being buried alive. I want to be cremated just so even dead I'm not in a box for eternity. I have no clue where it comes from. But having a bad back that requires an MRI every year doesn't help. I have to be completely knocked out to be put in the machine. It's an all-day ordeal, but my doctor saw 1st hand why I have to be sedated. They didn't give a strong enough dose and I woke up screaming bloody murder and trying to get out. I broke a toe kicking at the top of the opening trying to get off the sliding table. I was then knocked out completely and they were able to complete the tests. I have to have my entire spine scanned and it takes about 2 hours because it's done in 4 different segments. Pure torture!
As always, amazing. I love this podcast/ channel as much as the Monsters one. Your research and storytelling skills are incredible- and very appreciated!!
Did not know about this one but as soon as I heard your voice I subscribed as I love Monsters and your awesome hard work so ty and everyone's that's involved
Omg ! I live in Atlanta and recognize all the streets talked about. December 17 ,1968 is one day before my first birthday. Wow. Never heard this story.
Random comment but those Key Biscayne hotel & villas are/were just beautiful. I stayed there one summer with my family (as a little kid) in a villa. But I guess, when you’re a little kid, absolutely anywhere with a swimming pool is awesome.
I read Barbara's book about her ordeal, "83 Hours Til Dawn" when I was in grade school. It frightened the hell out of me, as I have always been claustrophobic. That photo of her with the sign has always haunted me as well.
This is the epitome of torture. I can't imagine being in this situation.
Same. I'm not claustrophobic, or afraid of the dark, but the uncertainty about whether or not I'd be rescued/released would be utterly terrifying.
I almost paused it once i realized what was happening. My pulse rate had to jump by 60
@@holagovito Same here. I'm very claustrophobic, and stories like this make my body react physically, almost like I'm the one experiencing it.
I almost had an anxiety attack listing to it and I don't usually get like that. It's like a movie that's set around water, I'll draw my knees to my chin before I realize what I'm doing. 🙄😁🤣
@@holagovito 60? were you dead before you watched this ? 🤔😉
I LOVE both your channels!!! You have a great voice and delivery of the stories! Thank you!!!
Meeee toooo!!!
Very Cool story and narration 👍 Like
YES👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏!
Thanks Jiles, another great story! I'm glad Barbara survived!
It is kind of really sweet that Barbara and Stuart got married at the end tho
Clown Motel in Tonopah NV
Brilliant video. You held my attention the entire time. Your videos are always so well done. One of my favorite channels on RUclips.
Thanks Caleb! We work hard.
This one had me feeling sick, thinking about being in a box... my biggest fear. Good job telling this story u had me captivated
I know, right?! I kept taking deep breaths as I listened! LOL!
Watch the Bob Newhart clip called "Stop It!" 😁
Yup
I couldn't watch it because I know I'd be in full panic mode!!
im the same that why im getting cremeted
I grew up with this story as she was buried in my neighborhood. I remember everyone talking about it for years
This was my hometown and I remember when this happened. Every mother was terrified and parents spoke in hushed tones. Horrifying ordeal and miraculous outcome.
I have started listening to these again. Had forgotten how good they were. Why have you stopped doing them? UIM sure I’m not the only one that misses them.
I loved this story! Mostly because there was a happy ending! But I absolutely LOVE your narration, research, knowledge, details, & the WHOLE shebang! Thank you for your videos!

I am a big fan of doing unto criminals as they do to others.
GREAT SINISTER! People have to remember that this is in the late ‘60’s IN GEORGIA!!!
I think I read the book written about this girl when I was a young teenager. I have always been so thankful they found her.
You should read the book "The Voyeur's Motel" it's really interesting and shocking in a very different way. But... It still deals with a very real motel of horrors.
I saw the Netflix doc.yikes
I saw that documentary! I think it was either Netflix or HBO. That guy’s not operating with a full deck! Creepy as f***!!
Thx for book recommendation!
Or look up h.h. Holmes hotel.
Ill look out for that book.
My cat rates this video a 9 and said "meow".
What an incredible woman to survive that and to continue life in a positive direction ❤
This story really hits close to home--literally. Im in the Dacula district not even 40 minutes from where this all happened, yet had never heard about this story til this video. Thank you!!
Athens Ga here.

Hotels six hahaha!!!!!
Omg! I lived in Dacula for like 10 years and went to Dacula HS (class of 2009 lol) im in Auburn now, I do not miss Gwinnett county lmao
totally read that as Dracula district
My favorite one so far... I love it when they are a little longer and Im glad there was a happy ending
Ah yes!! Almost half an hour episode on somewhere Sinister!!!
I love this channel . The beginning of the episode , the theme music, the opening of the waterfall and car headlights , I love it all.

You know it’s a good day when you find a somewhere sinister you must have missed!
I've never heard of this one. You did your usual great job covering it. Looking forward to the next one.
This was the best one yet I really hope at some point you start doing these more I couldn’t stop listening I’m a truck driver so I love listening to these while I’m driving
they PANTSED HIM to confirm his identity, crazy
What an amazing woman to be so strong after such a evil act. Ten years? Life is what he should have got
Barbara is a rock star!
This channel! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I get at least 3 or 4 notifications a week, between This is Monsters and Somewhere Sinister!! I don't know how you do it all. Sure am happy you can! Thanks for all you do!
“You don’t.”
That’s some bone chilling shit.
This was all over the news and I was a kid and scared the crap out of me wow
"The manager was hesitant to get involved."
That's how these crimes keep happening.
Another great video! Thanks for your consistent and excellent content on both channels!
This was one of my favourite episodes so far. Very interesting
Here from this is monsters 🥰
WOW! I don't know how you pick the content for Somewhere Sinister but I haven't ever been let down
I've seen a movie based on this. It was called The Longest Night.
It was nice to get a happy ending to a story for once. Most stories like this one don't end well for anyone.
Alone, buried in the dark surrounded by the unknown- so scary.
This is just awful and frustrating in so many ways. Fascinating and new to me, Thank you
A sinister monster. So relieved when they found her! Sentence was too light.
THANK YOU!

Always marry the guy who’s not only picking up your missing notes, but driving them out to you from out of state?!

What's with the manager of the hotel?.He was reluctant to "get involved" but eventually cut her wrists free? 🤔 Gee thanks!
WOOWWWWWWW holy my worst nightmare 😱😱😱
As usual superior story and voice. Thank you!!!
best part of the story ☆ Barbara and Stuart eventually got married and started a family!
I'm going to be honest and say that when I first saw the title I thought I was in for an 83 hour long story.
That would probably take me about 2 years to produce. Then the upload time would probably add another 6 months.
Me too. And I clicked anyways.
