18 TRUE SCARY HORROR STORIES ANIMATED COMPILATION

foreign [Music] [Music] dragged me out to the mall along with my little sister early on in the night I got bored and knew I wouldn't be able to stand shopping for clothes any longer I convinced my parents to let me go explore the rest of the mall while they got presents for me and my sister but of course in typical fashion they only agreed to it if I took my little sister along with me I agreed and promised that I would call as soon as we were ready to leave and meet up at the Foot Locker we walked around for a little while but there was still nothing that piqued my interest my sister however really wanted to see Santa not that she believed in him really but she thought the concept of Santa was funny for some reason anyways we got lined up in the center of the mall where they had a bunch of fake North Pole scenery put up around a Christmasy house that was supposed to be Santa's cabin or whatever nobody could actually see Santa because you had to go inside the cabin and meet him and get your pictures because we couldn't see we had no idea why it was taking so long for the line to move with 20 or 30 people ahead of us the estimated wait time was almost an hour but it's where my sister wanted to go and I didn't have any better ideas so we stuck it out unfortunately after about a half an hour the soda that I'd had at the food court was hitting my bladder I really had to take a leak so I told my sister to go on without me or to hold my place in line if she was still waiting when I got back then I raced off to the nearest restroom just a few minutes later I was done and I went back to the Santa setup to see that my sister was no longer in line I figured she was inside the cabin but after I saw a few people go out no sign of her I got confused and decided I should check inside I tried to tell them what happened but those heartless helper else didn't care at all I pleaded with them to just let me check saying that I didn't want to take any pictures and just wanted to make sure my sister was okay but they didn't believe me they just wrinkled their noses and told me to get in the back of the line not knowing what else to do I did and everybody in the line gave me weird looks while I walked back I was even more annoyed when I saw that the line had doubled in size since I left it I was fuming the whole time I waited mad at myself for leaving the line and cursing out everything in my head my sister didn't have a cell phone so she was basically helpless without me I was responsible for her and if I didn't get her back I was going to be in some deep trouble with my parents so I waited and waited and waited until finally after a ridiculous amount of time I got in as soon as I stepped in a chill ran down my spine it was super dark in there and it smelled kind of funny to my left was the Santa but I've never seen such a wrong guy to play the part he was all scrawny and ghoulish with sunken in eyes and a patchy beer the only part of him that was fat was his ginormous beer gun which was way out of proportion with the rest of him he was hideous I couldn't tell if he was trying to do a Christmas or Halloween thing but I'd come all the way so I had to try talking him hello have you seen a little girl with dark hair about this High probably laughed at you instead of asking for presents whoa there kiddo aren't you gonna ask for presents no I don't care about presents I'm just looking for my sister this is the last place she was at have you seen her oh come on I won't be cheesy like all the other Santas you don't have to sit in my lap or anything you just have to pick one of these three presents here the presents we're laying in his lap a blue one on the left a green one on the right and a red one in the middle I hadn't noticed them before because well who wants to look at the crotch of somebody who looks like that not sure I'll tell you what you let Santa do his job that'll help you do yours you mean you'll help me find my sister of course all right then Merry Christmas I guess that's the spirit come here and take your pick I'll give you a hint I really recommend picking the red one I looked him up and down suspiciously I wasn't a complete [ __ ] I knew what he might be trying to do but I wasn't sure in spite of him I pointed to the blue one he screamed picked up the president hurled it against the wall a bunch of Christmas chocolates exploded from and it went everywhere hey what are you doing oh I'm telling you to pick the red one no I picked the green one you just ate your hot stuff don't you let me tell you something you little snaggletooth twink my punks like you for a living is that what you want for me to turn you into next year's chocolate dude what are you even saying don't play dumb with me just pick the red one already come on you want to find your little sister don't you fine I picked the red one he took the lid off the box but I couldn't see what was inside the demented Santa waved his hand for me to come closer and I did so with Extreme Caution I peeked my head over and saw that it was full of candy canes all different shapes colors and sizes like what you see go ahead grab the biggest candy cane you can find and eat oh God why am I doing this I put my hand inside the box and fished around for a few seconds I couldn't feel anything that seemed obviously bigger than everything else until something at the bottom of the box was wrong really wrong I turned my hand out of the box and jumped back I was about to curse out the Santa but when I saw him again I was speechless he had completely unchanged his Joe's laughing in the mechanic in human I began to exit the cabin when the psychotic Santa lunge up from his seat sprinted across the room and Corner me against the wall that's when the Santa presses demented face against mine and handed over the red box saying Merry Christmas and make sure you eat the biggest candy cane laughs Instinct took over and I broke away at the last second sprinting through the exit that's when I found my sister huddled up against the wall by herself eating a candy cane I slapped it out of her hand grabbed her by the arm and took us back to our parents when we finally reached the Foot Locker I asked her what were you doing in there while I was in the bathroom nothing I was just eating a candy cane that Santa gave me while I was waiting for you I was really freaking out and had to call my parents right away they raced over to us and I told them everything they immediately called the cops and a few minutes later that sicko was in handcuffs despite him being locked away it will never change what happened this is the image of the quote-unquote candy cane Santa he was a 63 year old Arkansas native who worked as a mall San at a local Plaza and was arrested for his heinous crimes the minimum sentence of his charge was 18 days or a maximum sentence of 1587 years I think it's safe to say he'll be sharing candy canes in prison going forward here are three disturbing Netflix stories that are just downright terrifying after watching these some of you may have doubts if someone ever invited you over for a Netflix and chill outing anyways here's what the stories looked like [Music] the story I'm about to tell you transpired last winter as we all anticipated the coming of Christmas Kevin lived alone in a Cottage House in the countryside he had a few neighbors but the distances between their residences were far apart in addition those folks seemed to be the home body types who rarely invited anyone to their place anyway so as a result he rarely interacted with them it got a bit lonely at times so going on Tinder frequently became a way for him to escape the isolation then after a while he eventually met this attractive girl named Stella she had long brunette hair simple makeup and to top it all off a pretty smile she was definitely Kevin's type so after sending her his first message it felt like they instantly made a connection they'd text each other often and to ensure she wasn't a catfish they even facetimed then a few weeks later he invited her to drop by the house to chill by the fireplace while watching some movies on Netflix when when Stella finally arrived at his house he opened the door and welcomed her in as the hours passed they had a few glasses of wine and one thing led to another we'll just leave it at that then moments later Stella changed into Kevin's clothes and expressed her desire to stay overnight naturally he was delighted but since she was also looking for something to munch on Kevin offered to drive them to a nearby McDonald's since he lacked the cooking skills she scoffed initially expecting that they could enjoy some comfort food at home that would make the experience more intimate but soon after Stella nodded and agreed to tag along then as they opened the front door they saw a hooded man looking in their Direction on the street in front of the house and as they glanced at the pile of snow outside they noticed Footprints leading up to the front door who the hell was that guy do you know who that is Stella held Kevin's hand tightly and said I have no idea Kevin then noticed how anxious Stella was hence he stood still as he stared at the Man From a Distance and so he knew that his best course of action was to remain indoors Kevin immediately closed the door and locked it shut for the next couple of hours they watched various chick flicks on Netflix hoping they could divert their attention away from the man who stood like a scarecrow but since Kevin just wanted to chill while keeping them safe at the same time he turned off the lights closed all the curtains and windows and double checked that all the doors in the house were locked as Stella and Kevin sat comfortably on the couch watching to their hearts content there was an awkward silence filling the air until moments later they heard the sound of grits waking Kevin from his semi-stooper thus prompting him to head for the window then as he slid the curtain ever so slightly his heart skipped a beat standing in front of his house was the same hooded man for moments earlier the sky was dark and the only thing he could make out at the time where the constant fall of snowflakes and the silhouette of a man whose head slowly turned to face him as though he knew he was watching but then one of the most horrifying things occurred when suddenly he began to Sprint towards the window Stella was terrified as Kevin told her to stand back however nothing was more terror stricken than hearing the man slam his fists against the window screaming like a lunatic frantically don't worry follow me Kevin grabbed her hand directing her towards the kitchen then as they began calling the cops a hooded man broke in through the window stello ran upstairs while Kevin hid underneath the table in the kitchen he kept himself silent controlling his breathing to avoid drawing attention to himself however as the footsteps became louder giving him the notion that he was close by suddenly the sound just banished then as Stella hid inside the closet covering her mouth as she cried she heard blood curdling screams coming from downstairs sir it was the voice of the man she cared for she was in shock not knowing if she should wait it out make a run for it or help her significant other fortunately seconds later she remembered she had a cell phone in her pocket so she took it and immediately dialed 9-1-1 while Whispering on the phone as the operator told her to stay calm and hidden while the cops were on their way all this time Stella remained still as the screaming downstairs finally ceased however the creep burst into laughter like a maniac causing her entire body to tremble [Laughter] there we go moments later the cops finally arrived bearing witness to the horrors left behind by the culprit eventually Kevin's body was found lifeless on the ground in the kitchen soaked in a puddle of his own blood Stella wailed in agony her knees dropping to the ground after careful observation they reckoned the creep escaped through the kitchen window tracking him down by following the footsteps on the snow leading them to the nearby Woods it was difficult to see the path clearly due to all the snow but as one of them checked behind the bushes the killer was seen crouching with his hands drawn up as the police apprehended him later on he was brought to the police station to be interrogated and when he was asked about his intentions he said she told me we'd keep in touch she promised we'd always stay connected so who was that guy and why the heck did she accuse him and not me no I can't let her be with anyone else but me if I can't have her no one else will and that's when it all made sense the culprit happened to be Stella's jealous ex-boyfriend he had admitted to stalking Stella everywhere she went since their breakup which ultimately led to Kevin's demise [Music] [Applause] it's been arduous raising my daughter as a single parent after all she was abandoned by her very own mother damn that hoe when my daughter was only a year old my wife left us for another man coming from an affluent family so every night I prayed for that wretched witch to burn however the Christmas season is usually when I try to keep the darkness to myself and allow my daughter to enjoy the holidays and so on a Black Friday I dropped by Walmart to buy a Christmas tree with my daughter it was packed like hell like vultures that only care about what they can get everyone grabbed appliances left and right someone pulling each other's hair while others stepped on those lying flat on the ground heatless up on screams I scurried towards the tree section where there were two large Christmas trees just a bunch of small shitty trees and one of them seemed to have caught my eye there was something about it that made it look a little more interesting than the rest and so I went in for a closer look however as I started tucking on the leaves to check what material was used I was cussed out not by someone in pursuit of retreat but by this enigmatic brain person in front of me what the hell is your problem the man said as he shoved into the ground I'm sorry man you just Blended in with the trees I was going to buy the last big tree having a close resemblance to the Grinch his brows furrowed and with sharp teeth he grinned and replied well whoever told you this was your tree it's mine you hear me one step at a line of grandson of yours explicit as I got my bearings I stood up saying excuse me I didn't catch that did you say your tree that's right Buster so if you're looking for a big one then go get your tree from the forest unable to tolerate this unfathomable Behavior I stood my ground letting him note that I was determined to buy this tree my little girl was frightened her body trembling as she said Dad can we go now not yet sweetie this is only gonna take a minute is that what you told your wife now get the hell out of my way the Grinch then grabbed me by my collar and slammed me across the floor from one side to the other like a ragdoll disorientated I felt that if the Grinch didn't stop it would be the end of me and I hollered calling out to security and when they finally came I told them about the Grinch and how he violated my rights there were three of them and just one of him and so the security team warned him that if he remained conspicuous it would have no choice but to report him to the cops and have him apprehended it was evident that the man was Furious and eventually walked away as he grumbled incomprehensibly I couldn't help but feel Victorious when I grabbed the last big tree and finally bought it when we arrived home my daughter and I set up the tree together and on Christmas Eve we watched a heartwarming film next to the fireplace as the fire popped and crackled then while my daughter waited for Santa to arrive I noticed her head bobbing and eyelid slowly drooping that's when I decided to take her to bed convincing her that all her presents would appear underneath the Christmas tree the following morning but this time my daughter wasn't the only one yawning I too was feeling drowsy and so we headed back upstairs tucking her in before returning to my bedroom room instantly hitting the sack later that night I woke up to the sound of heavy footsteps coming from downstairs but aside from the heavy steps I heard screeching noises that gave me chills what the hell was that I muttered to myself when I got up to check the time on my watch I saw that it was 3am I couldn't go back to bed curious about the sounds I got up and swung the door open I noticed something odd coming from my daughter's room the door to her bedroom was open so I assumed she was the one making the noises downstairs but then I quickly realized that there was someone else down there when I heard a male's voice coming from the living room uh Stupid tree super linguisher when they had the chance the moderate Temple of my heartbeat accelerated as the noises grew disturbingly louder and more bizarre hence I sprinted down the stairs and sold with my own eyes the same man I met at Walmart from before the Grinch with his filthy green complexion in Sinister grin and with him was a sack full of stuff he might have stolen from me he carried it on his shoulder as he also dragged the Christmas tree toward the front door hey stop right there I hollered making every attempt to intimidate him I'm armed if you know what's good for you put that down voila I dare you to slap you little [ __ ] this is a tree now you ain't gonna ruin my Christmas this year pal I called afraid to get myself in trouble again or worse he killed hence I allowed him to get away with it hoping my surveillance cameras were all in good condition so that I could provide enough evidence of this cycle barging into my home as he drove off in his truck I called the cops telling them everything that had transpired the worst part is that he didn't even have a license plate damn it all this trouble for a stupid tree I said in frustration I locked all the doors and waited for the cops to arrive and once they came they checked everywhere downstairs including the rooms upstairs in search of clues that could identify the suspect then suddenly my heart sank upon noticing that my daughter was nowhere to be found she wasn't in her room hiding nor was she in the kitchen Lisa honey Lisa I frantically called out her name but she never answered back that's when I concluded that my daughter may have been in that sack the man was carrying on his shoulder of course the cops promise to investigate and fill me in on the details however as time passed the case went cold and since then I've had to spend Christmas alone with nothing but mere pictures to remind me of my daughter [Music] [Music] I remember this one tobogganing Park in my old area that me and a couple neighborhood friends used to play at it was Christmas break and nothing mattered except who won the snowball fight who made the best snow angel and who could reach the top speed on their tobog it was a blast and I was having fun but I wasn't able to appreciate as much as I could have one of the neighborhood kids that we didn't really Vibe with as much had come out with us that day I wanted it to just be me and my best friend we function best as it do and this week third link was getting in the way of things not that we hated him he just kind of sucked at everything when I raced him down the head my friend stayed at the top to track who was the fastest I was of course the neighborhood kid was slow in more ways than one I got to the bottom a full 10 seconds before he did it was during that brief moment that I spent alone at the bottom of the hill that I saw something really strange something that in the moment I didn't know would spell the end of all the good times way in the distance through a light Thicket of trees I saw a face that didn't belong on the body it was attached to it was unmistakably the face of Winnie the Pooh it had the classic golden color of honey in the black beady eyes but the man I saw with that face was almost inhuman looking not to say that he looked like a Pooh Bear exactly he was Haggard and filthy and all around just a bone-chilling sight and of course the moment I saw him he saw me too and he didn't look away we stared at each other from across the distance for what felt like eternity hey what are you looking at what oh that guy right there do you see him I think he paint his face to look like Winnie the Pooh funny isn't it no man that's not funny you gotta stay away from those people what are you talking about dude I've heard stories about creeps who dress up like that they're bad news come on stop looking at him and let's go up the hill before you attract him over here uh okay I guess that kid had more brains than I gave him credit for but at the time I had a burning curiosity about what I just seen and it was overriding all common sense of course I didn't mention it again around the neighborhood kid I noticed he always looked at me funny after that instead I waited for him to leave me and my friend alone for a second then I set up a meme hey man you bored yeah been feeling weird today don't know why I bet it's because of that stupid third wheel kid what do you say we come back here around 10 tonight have some more fun without him dragging us down sure man I got you Loki definitely low-key I didn't tell him why I really wanted to come back I was worried he'd say no so I just play it off that I wanted to toboggan him neither of us had cell phones at the time but I did however carry a flashlight in my pocket I went early and waited for him on my toboggan at the top of the hill when he showed up we rode down one more time but before he started going back up I stopped him hold on a second I want to show you something show me what you'll see just leave those here we'll come back for them later we won't be long I led us through the sparse bit of woods and over a small hill I remembered exactly where I'd seen that creepy Winnie the Pooh wannabe standing when we got there it started to snow again and my friend wanted to turn back what are you trying to show me man I don't see anything just a little bit farther come on man don't whist out I saw a well nearby nestled a little deeper into the woods it was dark and creepy it probably hadn't seen any use since colonial times and at this point it was barely more than a cobblestone ring the Moonlight was shining directly down into it and I thought I could see the bottom so I threw down a snowball that's got to be about 10 feet let's climb into it let's what are you crazy I didn't bother arguing with him I knew that if I win he would follow me just because he didn't want to be alone out there you're going to get me into so much trouble Man wait for me see 10 feet holy crap look at that tunnel though for whatever reason there was a long horizontal section under the well before it went down any further after about a hundred feet we came across a sharp turn it was tall enough for us to walk through we slowed up peeked our heads around the corner and there they were in the opening doesn't men women and children each and every one of them with a sloppy tattoo Winnie the Pooh plastered across their faces they were tangled up with each other and muttering some sort of chant we were both in shock but my friend couldn't keep it together honey Blood and Honey he wretched alerting the entire tribe to our presence all at once they stared us down with these soulless animal eyes the second I saw one of them step towards us I split run I ran as fast as I could looking for an exit just hoping that my friend was running behind I sprinted all the way back and scrambled out of the well I fell into the snow topsa and waited for my friend to come out but he never did I waited for several minutes and called his name a hundred times but there was no response I knew before long that one of those freaks had gotten that's the moment when everything became blurry I realized I was completely alone out there with nobody to help me but also nobody to know what went down shaking and sick to my stomach I stumbled back to our toboggans which were already halfway covered in the snowfall I finished the job of burying his toboggan and took mine home where I pretended like nothing had ever happened I felt like I'd gone crazy I never told anyone what happened since I was too scared of going to jail my best friend has been a missing person for so many years now I've tried to go back to that Park to make myself feel normal but it's ruined now every time I go in the winter I swear I see my friend's face staring at me from the trees always painted like Winnie the Pooh just like that I've never told anyone about this I've been suppressing it for over a decade now it was back in the year 2009 when I was a much younger and naive girl back then just 18 years old in those days apps like Instagram Twitter and Snapchat either weren't popular like today or didn't exist at all the thing that was big back then was this instant messaging service called MSN that was what everyone used to talk to each other at those times at the time it was a cold and gloomy winter I spent most of it staying warm indoors bundled up with hot cocoa glued to my MSN I often talk to a dozen people at once I had over a hundred friends but I didn't actually know that many people most of them were random friend requests that I accepted because I wanted to seem more popular than I actually was I'd only known like four or five of them in person but I pretended that they were all my friends despite the fact the only way we knew what each other looked like was by our profile pictures the reason I stopped using MSN was because of this guy that I had met on it who will call Kip for the sake of the story from his profile Kip seemed like a pretty attractive guy he had a mustache and long slicked back hair and he wore these retro style 80s glasses he said he was a senior in high school and 18 years old just like me which was what we had in common that started off our conversation we chatted for several weeks and even flirted a bit here and there Kip would always refer to me as Cutie which was enough to get to me for some reason when we found out that we lived just 15 minutes walking distance from each other Kip would not hesitate to invite me over to his place to watch some movies he rented from Netflix me being naive as I was I immediately said yes and agreed to walk to his house it must have been around 15 centimeters of snow but I didn't want to let that stop me from meeting this guy when I got to his house and rang his doorbell he opened the door immediately that's when I actually saw him for the first time he looked closer to 80 than 18 that long slicked back hair that I loved so much was thinning out and a hairline worse than Miami Heat LeBron with a wispy comb over in the crappiest brunette hair dye I have ever seen he looked sort of like his profile picture but he was way older and frailer than I ever could have expected I immediately got the creeps and could only stand there in astonishment well what are you waiting for out in the cold cutie come on inside I um I uh okay I hesitated but I was so cold and so worried about being rude that I went in despite my better judgment as soon as I stepped in I could hear Kip immediately close the door behind me he then went in for a hug and I instinctively pushed him away but then Kip started pouting oh are you the shy type in real life sorry just not a hugger well that's all right we've got all night cutie go ahead and take a seat I'll get the Netflix going my coat was covered in sleet but I didn't feel comfortable enough to take it off I sat down on the couch and hoped he wouldn't care back then Netflix was still mailing DVDs and I noticed the only movie he had was a Cheesy rom-com that was already three years old he played the disc and then sat on the couch right next to me my body tensed up and I was waiting to scream the moment he tried to put his arm around me but he didn't so cold in here isn't it good thing I made hot cocoa that's when I noticed two mugs sitting on the coffee table he leaned over and reached for one but then he hesitated for a moment and grabbed the other one he took a sip slurping really loud while looking me dead in the eyes with a haunting expression mmm I made some for you too cutie I know how much you like your hot chocolate my name is Anna oh you're just the cutest Anna I know don't you want some to warm you up after that long walk in the cold um no thanks actually I really need to use the washroom before I can drink anything let me show you where it is Kip jumped up and led me down the hall I raced in like I couldn't wait but when I tried to close the door he stopped it by sticking his hand out um excuse me I'm trying to close the door get it open I want to watch you use my bathroom cutie how about you give me some privacy that's when he started violently banging his head on the door causing me to retreat next to the toilet and that's when he said how about I watch you make room for the hot cocoa I made you I made it specifically for you since I knew you were coming over why don't you just let me see you pissed so you can return the favor the look in his eyes was so insane so gaunt in a fight or flight reaction I body slammed the door and managed to shut it close closed then I immediately locked it before he pushed back hey you stupid little [ __ ] you broke my toe toe step back in fear as I heard Kip banging on the door so hard that I thought he might break it down open this door I'll get in there no matter what it takes but the longer you make me wait the more fun I'm gonna have with you I'll poke all sorts of little holes all over your body from me and just where do you think you're gonna go you brainless bimbo Sprout was a small window above the toilet I looked around for something to smash it but couldn't find anything the first thing I reached for was the shower rod but as soon as I yanked down the curtain I made the worst possible Discovery there was a woman in the bathtub a horrible sight of her sent me into total shock the hammer that had been used to put her in that state was lying next to her not thinking about anything but my own safety I grabbed it and began smashing the window after shattering it I climbed through and landed on the ground outside I immediately made a run for it home in a panic I'd snuck out of my house to get there and forced myself to sneak back in so my parents wouldn't find out when I got back into my room I cried silently for hours I deleted MSN and stupidly capped the whole ordeal a secret till now since then I never knew whatever became of Kip or that poor woman I feel ashamed for never reporting it to the police maybe they could have helped her but it's all too late now [Music] foreign [Music] ly stayed at a hotel with my parents for an extended weekend over the holidays we were at one of those really old hotels that used to be super fancy when it was built 100 years ago it was one of the biggest I'd ever seen and it was the only place with any vacancy over the holidays when my parents booked the trip I don't even know why they forced themselves into it my mom and dad never got along so they were only doing it so we could pretend like we were some happy normal family for the holidays they really didn't plan anything out either because there was literally nothing for us to do while we were there the hotel had a really eerie vibe to it it reminded me of the lodge from The Shining and once that popped into my head I couldn't stop seeing the similarities there were no security cameras in the entire building as far as I could see and not to mention there were so few guests in all those big empty hallways and lobbies that it felt like we were completely alone there and of course we got snowed in on the first night by a huge storm so there was no chance of us going out to do anything the whole time we were there we did everything to avoid each other my mom essentially never left the hotel room she cleaned things even though we had housekeeping and lied in bed all day watching TV on the crappy satellite channels until she passed out at 3am my dad on the other hand was always busy working no matter where he was he was some kind of old-timey mystery novelist and would get mad and yell at us if we got in the way of him working get out of here can't you see I'm busy working go back to the room now he set himself up in the center of the biggest Lobby and just typed his life away on that stupid typewriter all day long then he'd pass out on one of the couches in the lobby I stayed in a room with my mom for the majority of my stay bored out of my mind by the time my mom let the 10th rerun of Titanic play on the TV I got up and left to do something even if it was just wandering around I did a lot of wandering around actually but only for the first couple days after a while I learned it's not a good idea to be alone in the hallways of that hotel at night on the third night I couldn't sleep after my mom went down so I left the room and tried to find something to look at it was the middle of the night and everything was dead quiet I must have walked a mile through the hallways and not seen her heard a single soul I started to get lost in my thoughts then I rounded a corner and saw him there was a man at the far end of the hallway staring at me he was wearing a Santa Claus costume except he lacked the big red coat and boots and was just wearing underwear he stood on all fours like some sort of animal with his back hunched over I froze and stared back at him then he waved at me calling me over to him hey come here what do you want it's not about what I want it's about what you want it's Christmas isn't it you want presents don't you no I think I'm good nonsense you deserve it come on come here don't be shy I'm Santa Claus you can trust me I knew it was a bad idea but I inched closer this was the most interesting thing that had happened so far it was sheer boredom and curiosity that pushed me forward I walked slowly and cautiously down the hallway keeping my eyes on him the whole time but when I got halfway there all of a sudden he darted around the corner and disappeared when I got to the corner I saw him part way down the hall peeking out the doorway at one of the hotel rooms waving at me to come closer again I was legitimately horrified by the way he looked but the fact that he actually appeared to be staying in one of the rooms eased my mind a bit I thought maybe he did have a bunch of presents in his hotel room so I walked over to his door by the time I got there he was standing behind the door prodding me to come inside all I remember seeing was the lights turned off in the room it was Pitch Black and I could just barely see the man's face that's what he said come inside little one I have all my presents right in here um is it okay if you give them to me out here as soon as I said that the smile on his face vanished that's when the most terrifying thing happened he won forward and grabbed me by the wrist trying to pull me in had pulled back against him and called out for help get inside you spoiled little brat leave me alone I'm calling to God somebody please help me shut up and get your present there's no cops in it don't tell you idiot he almost managed to drag me into the room but at the last second I managed to break free I wasted no time running away at full Sprint and raced back to my room I slammed the door shut behind me throwing the deadbolt and latching the chain and then dragged a rug out of the bathroom and shoved it underneath the crack of the door that way there would be no way on Earth anybody could get in I was so shaken up and paranoid that I checked under all the beds and looked behind the shower curtain but it was just me and my mom alone in the hotel room I had nobody to talk to and was forced to internalize the whole ordeal as my mom was also passed out so severely that she didn't even budge when I made all that noise coming in for the rest of the weekend I never once left the hotel room for anything not even to eat I convinced my mom to order room service for the remainder of the trip for some reason I was too scared to even talk about it while we were still there there I had planned on telling her everything when we got home but I saw something while we were checking out that kept me from ever even thinking about that while my father was still alive I was disassociating behind the two of them while they were arguing in front of the clerk at the checkout counter when I happened to notice something in my father's briefcase which he'd sat on the floor beside him it was overstuffed and wasn't closed completely and there was a Telltale red and white fluff of a Santa Claus costume sticking out of it along with a half sheet of paper from the manuscript he'd been working on all weekend there was only one line on it repeated across the entire pages that read my son is on the naughty list and will pay for it this Christmas [Music] this story was told from the perspective of a female girl it happened a few years ago around the Christmas holiday there was this little girl living in a small house with her parents and since Christmas day was approaching quickly her father began setting up the tree while her mom took care of the Christmas ornaments the little girl was so ecstatic that it was difficult to contain herself as little girl's parents continued to decorate the tree the girl would chew on her nails while twitching her head to the side like some deranged crackhead the parents would immediately take notice and begin escorting her to her bedroom the next day the parents were in the living room drinking some coffee while watching television the entire house including the tree was completely decorated that's when the little girl could be seen sprinting down the stairs and towards the Christmas tree only to be left standing in front of the tree her parents were left confused as the little girl's demeanor which was once filled with excitement and anticipation instantly turned to nothing when she saw that under the Christmas tree was merely a carpet with no presence unable to contain her disappointment she asked Mom Dad where are the presents they both looked at each other and smiled as if her concerns didn't matter then moments later her mom crouched patted her head and said you have to wait till Christmas Dear Santa only arrives on Christmas Day the girl then started slamming her fist towards the mother as both parents had to physically restrain the girl and bring her into the bedroom it quickly became quite evident on how desperate the girl was to get her hands on those gifts that she fantasized about daily on Christmas Eve her parents suggested that she should prepare some cookies and milk milk when she asked why her dad told her that Santa only gives delightful gifts to children that offer him treats hence that's precisely what the girl did the girl grabbed a batch of cookies and carton of milk and left it on the table accompanied by her mother the parents figured that they would sneak some presents underneath the tree before the girl would awake the next day then in the middle of the night everyone went to sleep except for that girl her Zeal and impatience was so overwhelming that she couldn't hit the hay moments later after hours of flip-flopping around in bed she heard noises downstairs the girl immediately got up as she assumed Santa had arrived downstairs she then snuck out the door to avoid waking up her parents shortly after as she cautiously made her way down the stairs she slowly became more anxious capturing sounds like munching and slurping in the living room the girl then tiptoed her way down the bottom of the steps and saw the most gut-wrenching sight a kid could ever Witness greeted by a large ghoulish looking Santa he was facing the Christmas tree while munching on the cookies and slurping on the Milk Carton like a rotten pig at this point she wanted to head back upstairs and hide under the bed however a combination of fear and curiosity kept her in place thus the girl asked so Santa is that you there was no response and while he remained silent he put down the carton slowly turning his head 180 degrees with a Sinister grin revealing sharp teeth in a wet lower lip caused by constant drooling at first he just stood there staring at the little girl as she trembled in fear suddenly the creepy man said the matter cat got your tongue little girl quivering still the poor girl stuttered rude that's not how you greet Santa I believe you've been a bad girl he licked his mouth as he tilted his head to one side and said do you know what happens to bad little girls the girl inched back her eyes widening waking from her semi-stooper you're on my naughty list he said in a pitch much lower than before so convinced his intentions were much worse than the girl ever anticipated she cowered away in fear then without time to think the creepy man went on all fours briskly walking towards her in a spider-like fashion with his head still at 180 degrees stay away from me Mom Dad like a rabbit pursued by a snake the girl made a run for it but was immediately cornered look at me the man's creepy voice lingered in the air and when she failed to listen he repeatedly said look at me look at me look at Mary unable to run away she froze in fear once again then moments later is the creep's head gradually turned to the right the girl's head also began to turn like she didn't have a will of her own and was now under the control of this man who was employing some kind of spell Santa's head kept turning more and more to the right causing the unfortunate little soul to holler out loud and oddly enough her screams couldn't reach her parents instead they were sound asleep dreaming of their daughter opening her presents unaware of the horrors that had pinned her down then suddenly the screams vanished and the girl's head was upside down permanently at this point her mouth and eyes wide open Santa's head was in the same position as he then smiled like a deranged ghoul out of hell Merry Christmas however the entity wanted more and so he made another rotation this time at 360 Degrees bringing the girl's head back to its original position [Applause] as morning came both parents were so excited to see their daughter that they knocked on her door only to receive no response so they assumed she was still asleep however when they opened the door they saw that her bed was empty thinking she was downstairs by the Christmas tree the parents called out her name as they descended the stairs as they finally entered the living room speechless and utterly terrified by what they witnessed they saw the head of the girl on top of the Christmas tree by the carpet was her limbs wrapped with wrapping paper there lied a note next to it saying Santa will return next Christmas foreign here are three horrific lost episodes of Arthur the stories do have sort of a conspiracy realm to it so for any Arthur fans you may never look at the show the same way again it all started when I was walking down the street waving to my neighbors and smiling just to see everybody and then I started to hear the familiar catchy song again I instantly forgot what I was doing just started listening to the Happy lyrics every day when you're walking down the street everybody that you Hearts caught you're doing it all wrong you idiot what the hell are you talking about you're not walking in time listen to the beat and the Rhythm got it what do you mean sir jeez no wonder you idiots are going extinct synchronize your walking to the music make your right foot hit the ground on one and three or two and four I don't care just pick one and stick to it okay sir I get it now now go back to the start point and remember if we can't get this done by the end of the day you're gonna be stuck shooting this intro forever I jogged back to the starting point to the root I was supposed to walk what he said about being here forever didn't fully register until I started taking multiple tanks for making the littlest minute mistakes in the shoot when the song started playing I tried to focus on it as much as I could and walk with it like a was told to but I have to admit this was all starting to take the joy out of the song I just tried to sing along with it in my head and act like it was my song that I Knew by heart every day when you're walking down the street everybody that you meet as an original point of view and I say hey you stupid stupid odd art stop moving your lips but I I wasn't I I was just think I don't see you mumbling your lips you better get back to the start point and start again before I stick my fresh pair of Nikes a pure okay okay sir I'll do it right away please just just let me go he shoved me to the ground I took a moment to collect myself and swallow the lump in my throat then I picked myself up and started walking back to the start again pick up the pace or I'll break your back like how I did to your mother in high school I began to put some pep in my step and sprinted back when I got there I had to turn away and wipe the tears for my eyes before they streamed down my face I took a deep breath and turned to face the root then waited for the call much where the hell am I even here I just have to keep going I then heard someone call out action and I did my thing I wasn't enjoying any of it I was faking everything I guess that's why they call it acting most of all I was already starting to hate the stupid song every day when you're walking down the street everybody that you meet has an original point of view and I say hey what a wonderful kind today if you can learn to work and play and get along with each other you idiot you're riding the bike too slow you're cutting out the damn frame who in the hell hired the imbecile that can't even ride a damn bike properly I think I was already half brain dead at that point I was just doing what I was told but I wasn't really all there I was just walking to this really strange song doing odd things here and there as my mind slipped further and further away slowly but surely we progress through the script and I found myself doing various things on all kinds of stages but no matter how hard I tried I always seemed to do everything wrong you gotta listen to your heart and listen to the beat listen to the Rhythm the rhythm of the street open up your eyes open up your ears get together and make things better by working together it's just the last time I ever want to work with a piece of [ __ ] like you you're supposed to frown in the seed why can't you bring me the same energy you showed us in the audition start again but at one moment it all became too much to bear I collapsed feeling like I couldn't breathe I was on the ground clutching my chest from the ruthless amount of takes he was putting me through all the time spent being yelled at humiliated and forced to perform to unrealistic standards I couldn't even understand without a break without food or water and that damn song played through the whole thing taunting me with all these happy things I was supposed to play out while I was being treated like a dirty animal what a wonderful kind of day hey hey coach what the hell is wrong with you your glasses are supposed to fly off your face when you fall back you idiot from the top again I don't want to keep falling off that ledge it's breaking my back I can't do this anymore props I need tape and a stapler ASAP please just let me go home let me go there was nothing that director wouldn't do to his actors to keep them working no matter the cost to the people inside he didn't see us as people at all just fleshy dolls that he could command as he pleased eventually I knew there was just no way out of it he made sure of that too every day when you're walking down the street every day when you walk every day when every day every day every day every day foreign [Music] no matter how many years have passed I can't stop thinking about that night it was in the early 2000s when I was still a teenager I was usually home alone for the majority of my life my mom was never really around the only memories I have of her is that she was some alcoholic bimbo who always got into fights with my dad since then it's just been me and my dad living in this dingy apartment complex in the downtown region of my city I personally didn't really like it as there were a lot of homeless people roaming the streets at night but since we lived on the top floor the view of the city was pretty delightful minus the crackheads my dad was a pretty chill dude I basically had free reign to do whatever I wanted since he left me home alone often he was always out on a date or working overtime trying to make ends meet so I would often invite my friends over for sleepovers besides that I was often alone I had already gotten myself into a good bit of trouble here and there but I had my eyes and hearts set on another little play thing entirely the cute boy across the street where I just couldn't stop thinking about I had him wrapped around my finger before he knew it cell phones weren't a super common thing at the time but I had a telephone by my bed that was wired up to the receiver and I talk on that thing for hours every day obviously my favorite person to call was my boyfriend next door we lived right across the street from each other and on the same floors in our respective buildings so by Fate our bedroom windows faced each other at night when everyone else was asleep we stayed up and talked on the phone and looked at each other through the window we thought it was the most romantic thing in the world it was kind of like the equivalent to FaceTime before that was even a concept of course all the FaceTime just made me want to be with him even more it wasn't enough to just see and hear him I wanted him in my room with a single parent in the house and no siblings it didn't take long for me to find an opportunity in which I was home alone hey I'm going on a date tonight so you'll be by yourself until tomorrow morning okay whatever you're not excited for me or anything you don't care at all that I'm getting back out there anyway Dad don't talk to your daughter about that go make friends at a bar or whatever old men do okay I see you're busy I'll leave you alone thank you okay I'm back sorry about that anyway what was that you were saying about me how can you even tell from all the way over there oh stop it no don't actually you know what you should do what you should come over I'm gonna be home alone my dad's gonna be gone all night he's going out on some date we should have ourselves a little date sure I'm very sure it's cold you know I need somebody to keep me warm tonight that could be you if you came just think about it you could snuggle all night long just you and me nobody else around that sounds good really good so are you coming over uh how long is that gonna take just two more hours well then you better stay on the phone with me keep me company chatted for the next two to three hours while gazing at each other through the window that boy made me wait until three o'clock in the morning before he got the courage to walk across the street under the nose of his parents but before he left his place I watched him filling his backpack with clothes and whatnot I waited patiently in anticipation as he was getting ready and away from the telephone momentarily since the phone cord couldn't stretched that long nor could the phone go on speaker when he finally finished with his Shenanigans and got back on the phone I started acting him on it's 3am aren't you gonna come over I'm getting sleepy are you freaking [ __ ] me yes my dad left three hours ago get over here already dropped the phone on the ground and put his hands up to his cheeks in an expression of sheer horror his mouth just about fell on the floor hanging wide open and seemingly unable to move Jonathan Jonathan you're scaring me what the hell are you looking at hello why are you looking at me like that it's just what it was like he was frozen I waved at him frantically and kept yelling at him over the phone but I was talking to a statue is something wrong hey hey pick up the phone the phone tell me what no matter how much I prodded at him to answer me he would just stand there shaking with his hands on his cheeks shivering like a deranged crackhead that was about to OD the only thing I could do was watch him slowly open his mouth more and more and more like he was something straight out of a cartoon flick I began to helplessly bleed with them by shouting at the top of my lungs answer me you're scaring me pick up the phone you idiot Come on talk say something anything finally his arm moved shaking as he picked up the phone and put it to his face with the other arm he pointed directly at me and said you're you're home alone as soon as he said that the lights in my bedroom flicked off in an instant everything was Pitch Black oh God please it's time for a family yeah [Laughter] [Music] there's been something I've been needing to talk about for a few years now it was back in my second year of college during my last semester at the University I started at before I transferred for reasons that will become obvious it was winter time then snowing constantly I always say the reason I transferred is because Transportation was a huge drag and it was but that's not the full reason the buses were laid all the time and on the cold days when nobody wanted to walk they were so jam-packed that it wasn't even a space for me to stand by the time it got to my stop so I went about finding a different way to get there but since I couldn't afford a car or even a bike I had to walk which meant I had to find a shortcut I did find one but it wasn't perfect it was a trail that cut through the woods between the campus and my apartment and it cut a good chunk of time off of my route the only problem was that it passed by this old abandoned cabin well it was abandoned but it did have an occupant it was something arranged old hobo guy who took shelter in it when it was cold there were legends about him at the school we called him Santa because he apparently only wore an old Santa suit that he must have stolen from the mall years ago it was alleged that he always had these reindeer in the cabin with them I figured he was some kind of animal Whisperer like they were his friends or something because he was too much of an outcast to have human friends if he was just there it wouldn't have been a problem but he lived off the people that passed by on the trail whenever he saw someone he charged them a dollar it was like the toll for taking the shortcut and for those who didn't pay the toll would end up on the naughty list the guy was a real Menace too the only word he could speak was dollar but other than that he just screamed and grunted obviously this was a terrible thing to have to go through just to get to class but I gave the boss several chances and it was honestly worse even for as terrifying as the shortcut was I put up with it and always had two dollars in my pocket one for each way but one day as I was passing by his house and walking up to it because I never tried to sneak by out of the fear that he would chase me I noticed that there were a ton of flies coming out of it the whole thing reeked of crap I held my breath and knocked on the door with my Dollar in my hand and right away the freak poked his head out through the gaps in the broken door glaring at me with the most disturbing expression ever dollar he then reached out his crusty old hand and grabbed my wrist pulling me in closer to him dollar dollar I closed my eyes reflexively and he shook my wrist until I let go of the dollar and yanked my hand back as he reached down to grab it I ran away shouting and cursing him totally about to piss myself that same day when I sat down for lunch with one of my friends I told him about what happened he never believed in the dirty Santa Legend though and he seriously thought I was messing with him I'm being for real man there's a dirty hobo dressed like Santa on the shortcut he's crazy dude you're crazy I've walked that trail and I didn't see anybody in that cabin because you walked it in the spring Santa only comes during the winter do you hear yourself right now talking about Santa Claus like you still believe in him in your 20s he's scary man you better not go down that trail without couple bucks in your pocket or what he'll put me on the naughty list yes he will you don't want that well thanks for the warning chicken [ __ ] but I'm too broke to be scared out of my cash by some dirty hobo in the woods I really did everything I could try to make him take it seriously but he wouldn't listen to me I was just hoping that I was being more scared than I needed to be that some of the Legends I heard weren't completely true I had to stick around for another class but my friend was done for the day and went home right after lunch I waved goodbye to him after I reminded him where the trail was and I made sure he had a dollar but I already knew he would want to keep it for himself but I was finally free I walked through the shortcut a little faster than normal my heart sank when I saw a thick trail of Blood on the trail leading right up to the cabin my hand was shaking but I walked up to pay my toll anyway hoping that he had just hunted down some wild game in the forest or something I knocked on the door and stuck my hand out with a dollar clutched in it averting my eyes until foreign home when there was no answer I slowly pushed the door open getting my first good look at the interior of the cabin I realized then that all those Reindeer had been saying weren't actually real alive reindeer but Taxidermy fakes with dismembered deer Parks everywhere and heads up on the wall like trophies and then right next to them the head of my friend looking right at the door and that dirty Santa what it be Maniac was just sitting by the fire pit laughing his mouth was caked in blood but he couldn't have looked more pleased with himself I dropped my brother ran away and didn't look back it was in the middle of the day when I got home but I crawled into bed and pulled the sheets over my face and tried to block out the world suppress the memory of everything that I just seen and forget about the whole thing like it was all just some terrible awful nightmare I couldn't even do that every time I closed my eyes I saw my friend's head decapitated and hung up on the wall like like it was a hunting trophy so I didn't close my eyes I kept them open all day and all night trying to not even blink my neighbors found out I was going insane by the second day of that and I used it as an excuse to blame my bad mental health on the University and get transferred I ended up changing my major completely and taking some courses abroad just to get as far away from that school as possible I never wanted to take that trail again I didn't people want to think about it but as much as I don't want to do it I do still remember it every day my friend was eventually reported as a missing person but I don't even know if they ever found him I'm not sure what even became of the dirty cabin Santa or if people still have to pay the toll to walk that trail of course I regret never saying a word about all of this until now but at least I finally got it off my chest [Music] thank you foreign [Music] car salesman living in a suburban area of Chicago Illinois after my wife passed away I moved in with my son and saw a lot of stuff I never would have expected I just didn't want to be lonely but my son knew I was hard of mobility and still put me up in the bedroom upstairs I've basically lived in this bedroom and for the most part I only get up to use the bathroom down the hall but as much as I hate to say it I guess I was too depressed after the passing of my wife to get on my son's back about letting me live downstairs he would probably never budge anyway he's got a job and a whole family of his own so he's too busy to even think about the old caja wasting away upstairs sometimes I wonder if they've all forgotten about me they barely come into my room to talk to me anyway and it's getting to be more and more that the people in my TV shows feel like closer friends than my own son and grandkids they get so bored that I even spy on my neighbors just to have something to do my bed is close enough to the window that I can see into their backyard without getting up for a few years I think I saw more of that family than I did my own it was a middle aged guy named Mike who was living with his mother and sister well I don't know who owned the property but I figured it was Mike's based on what I ended up seeing happen there I swear those folks seem nice on the outset nothing to evoke suspicion just quaint happy little lives that made me feel more comfortable in my own boring bedridden existence I'd seen them talk to each other on their back porch in the evenings or go out gardening in the mornings and I never heard anything unusual for the longest time that was until a couple years after I moved in around Christmas time I had just turned off the TV was turning into sleep for the night when I heard people arguing crap oh the voices weren't familiar so I knew it was coming from next door at some point the shouting became screaming and I started hearing all sorts of other noises going along with door slamming glass breaking loud thuds the whole business then it all just stopped I was tired so I assumed it was just an argument that ran itself out of steam but I had a nagging feeling about it that played with my sleep some hours later at what turned out to be 4am I was woken up by more noises I looked out my window and saw Mike in the backyard I had no idea what he was doing but he was in a Grinch costume hauling some big Christmas sack to the tree by the garden shed then he opened the shed and grabbed a shovel and started digging and I realized he was burying that bag in the Frozen dirt I didn't know what to think of it it must have taken him an entire 30 minutes before he finished and went back inside his house the only thing I could think was that he was some hyper dedicated Geezer playing the role of the Grinch trying to hide some stolen donations from an orphanage or something I don't know I'd always thought he was a nice guy so there was no explanation that sat right with me I waited until morning to tell my son of course he didn't believe me he thought I was just a crazy old coup and so did everybody else in the house with nobody to back me up I started to believe that I ended up brushing it aside and forgetting about it the weird thing about it though was that I never saw the neighbor's mother ever again she was the one who always tended the garden but after all that happened she was never there to take care of the plants however I still saw Mike and his sister outside on the porch from time to time but they never looked quite as happy after a while everything went back to normal until about four years later after so much time my son tried befriending his neighbors he would always try to talk to them but they would just give him a gone stare and say nothing eventually going back inside the house both of them the brother and sister were definitely a weird Bunch but things got a little more disturbing right around Christmas just like before it seemed like it was happening all over again they were shouting then screaming then a task so on a thought then a sudden silence this time I stayed up to watch this all happening twice was way too strange for me to sleep on it it was right around four in the morning again I stood up out of my bed to get a closer look out the window I could see him coming out the back door he was again dressed as the Grinch dragging a big bag of something to the tree and burying it under the dirt that's went out of nowhere Mike turned his head and looked straight into my window I quickly closed the blinds but he had already seen me a few minutes later I couldn't help but peek and what else did I say with the man himself in the window right across from mine still in costume glaring at me I tried to act casual and play it all so I opened the window and tried to make conversation across the way a nice Grinch outfit thanks buddy nice night out too isn't it indeed it is so what are you doing up so late that's when Mike stares at me not saying a word anyway have a good rest of your night Merry Christmas Mike waves his hand by and in that moment I saw a flash of blood soaked into the palm of his hand right away he realized he made a mistake and tried to cover for it by closing the blinds immediately but it was too late I laid starkly awake all night after that worry with anxious thoughts about what the reason for that Bloody hand could have been from the old only conclusion I could reach was that he'd taken the life of his mother and sister and buried them in the backyard to keep it a secret I didn't bother telling my son because I knew he would just brush me off so I eventually called the cops by morning the cops were out in front of Mike's house and he was immediately apprehended turns out that Mike's mother died in an altercation with his sister and he helped her cover it up over the years the sister had gotten ill and eventually died young as for why he wanted to bury her in the backyard too it was a ledge that he did it for financial reasons just goes to show what people will do when money is tight but if you ask me I think the cops barely got half the truth out of that guy I bet something way worse happened inside that house the story was inspired by a downright terrifying incident that happened in Chicago Illinois here's the photograph of the quote-unquote Grinch a man named Michael who was 45 years old at the time he has since been charged with concealing the deaths of the deceased family members mentioned in the story of his backyard [Music] the next story took place a few Winters ago when I was a young teenager I was going through the phase where I really wasn't getting along with my family I preferred spending time with my friends and always getting up to trouble the holidays were definitely a tense time with all that going on I couldn't stand seeing my parents so of course I did everything I could to get out of going with them on some dragged out holiday vacation where are you going you should be getting ready for the trip I don't want to go on this stupid trip I'll be back later no you won't you're gonna stay and you're gonna pack up I'll do it later my friends are waiting on me well if you're gonna choose those dirty low lives or her family then we'll just leave without you then leave I should have left you in the dumpster and not your mother instead of getting ready for the big trip I wanted to go to my friend's spot in the woods where there was a cool old tree house we'd all hang out at after I got into it it with my dad I decided I wanted to stay out all night which my friends were happy to hear after thinking I was going to be gone for the holidays well fast forward another few hours and I was going belligerent by drinking from our so-called soda bottles and the safety of the tree house I don't recall much at all about what occurred during that night except chatting with this attractive girl named Stephanie but other than being able to barely comprehend my surroundings I did however remember passing out and waking up right next to her and a couple other people on the floor of the tree house as soon as I opened my eyes I could tell that I'd slept way later than I had anticipated all of a sudden I came to my senses and rushed home hoping that I hadn't actually been left there Home Alone unfortunately I Knew by the lack of cars in the driveway that they really had left without me that's when I came to the realization that I stupidly thought to never bring my key when I stormed off that day before I checked the front door back door and even tried prying the side windows open but everything was locked shut I was cold hungry and hung over I started freaking out and then used a rock to break through the kitchen window by the back door so I could reach around and unlock the door into the house once inside I did what I could to clean up the glass but there was no replacing the door window instead I sealed it off with duct tape just so there wouldn't be too bad of a draft a few minutes later I called my mom to chew her out for leaving me behind how could you leave me home alone what kind of mother are you what kind of mother am I what kind of son are you you probably had me with some random guy and that's why you and Dad hate me you will not talk to me like that young man then I won't talk to you you hoe when that didn't go well I tried calling up that girl I passed out with but that was a bust too she said she couldn't hang out until after she got back from the holidays with her family that's when I came to the realization that I was going to be by myself for Christmas completely alone in a big house with no one around by 10 pm I was an emotional wreck so I crawled into bed and tried to get some sleep it was barely 10 minutes later when I started hearing loud noises coming from the kitchen downstairs I snuck out of bed and peeked down the stairs and there I saw two men standing menacingly in my kitchen and that's when I made the dumbest mistake of my life ah I screamed at the top of my lungs out of sheer panic and that's when the robbers immediately looked at me I turned around and ran back to my room and locked the door I panicked and called my mom she made me wait until the last ring I was just about to give up and call the cops but she had just answered when the robbers broke down my door and charged into my room right away one of them ran at me picked me up and tossed me on the bed like I was made of air just to show me I stood no chance against them then it was all just screaming Hey kid where's the money at yeah kid come on where did he keep the jewelry huh spit it out I I don't know me mommy look at him calling for his mommy you better dry up we ain't even started hooking you up to car batteries yet hey shut up look at this he's on the phone with her right now isn't that nice what's going on oh don't worry Mrs crybaby your wimpy little sun is just fine and it'll stay that way if you tell us the combination to your safe and where to find it out we don't have a safe that's baloney shut up forget the safe where's your money your Jewels if you don't tell us then your son's gonna pay for it I'm telling you you rob that rich we don't have a safe or Jewels or anything like that please believe her believe her shut up you know what kid I say we ought to make him scream so his mommy can hear forget that hoe she's dumb as rocks we can't keep wasting time we gotta make a move fast now all right Wise Guy what should we do I think she's bluffing let's Ransom the kid what no please I'll do anything shut up the next thing I knew they put duct tape over my mouth and dragged me out of the room I screamed and fought back against them but they carried me down the stairs with one of them holding me by the legs and the other by the arms and there was no way I could get out of their grip and then to my relief I heard police sirens approaching my house until they were basically right outside the two robbers then threw me down on the couch and I wasn't able to see much of what happened but I heard the robbers try to escape out the back door only to be cut out off by cops and arrested for a while I thought it was my mom who called the cops but I didn't understand how they could have responded so quickly as it turns out he was the girl who called them the girl that I met at the tree house who gave me your number she recently moved in just a few doors down from me and said when she heard some strange noises outside and went to investigate she saw the two men snooping around my backyard and called the cops right away man if things had gone differently I might have wifed her foreign I can't even Trace back how I got here all I remember was sitting on the rim of this huge purple circle the top of a pit that went down so far I couldn't even see the bottom everything around me was just pure Darkness there was this giant scream like from a movie theater but at first I couldn't even tell it wasn't real I thought it was actually looking through the walls of my house and into my living room laying on the carpet in the middle of the floor was DW and as usual she was reading one of her magazines that's when I called out to her hey DW hey her loud voice startled me I staggered backwards trying to catch myself then slipped and tumbled forward falling straight down into the purple pit that's when everything went dark whatever happened immediately after is just a blank space for me sometime later I came to disorient and an excruciating pain all over my body I had no idea where I was the space I was in made no sense to me it was purple just like the top and it had four walls and a square that rose up to dizzying Heights but other than that there was nothing else no windows no door no furniture not even a light I could only see because there was this Eerie glow emanating from the walls I struggled in my feet every bone in my body in agony and hobbled over to the wall hoping that it was just a sheet or something that there would be something on the other side but there wasn't it was just a solid wall there wasn't anything for me to climb on either it was all completely smooth and featureless like some kind of demented prison I then tried squeezing myself into the corner and shimmying up the wall I might have gotten about six inches off the ground before I slept and no matter how many times I attempted it I couldn't get any higher than I could by jumping every time I fail the pain in my body and the direness of my situation became increasingly obvious I collapsed and began to cry somebody tell me is anybody there please my voice just echoed above me was the purple circle from which I'd Fallen looming over my head mocking me after a few minutes I dried my tears and picked myself up then went for a different approach I thought maybe I could just beat my way to his wall so I punched and kicked and charged into putting all my rage in every strike but each time I was deflected and all my efforts were for nothing it's not real this is just a dream a nightmare that's all none of this is real I'll wake up soon and I'll run and hug mom wow anybody help me Arthur Arthur is that you Arthur hey who's there where are you answer the answer to the dumb rat hey I'm not a rat but you are Arthur aren't you what who are you let me out of here before I call the cops I want to play a game I looked all over for where that voice is coming from but it was so echoey in that room that it was no use I was starting to think that I would be trapped in this dark room while this sicko tormented me for the rest of my existence there was no way to keep track of how much time it passed there was no sunlight just the same level of constant purple Darkness but it must have been days before that voice came back by then I was so hungry and thirsty I was starving and things were getting so bad I didn't even have a bucket I had to choose a corner of the room to be the corner that I did my business in while I huddled in the opposite corner waiting for nothing Hey Arthur you hungry Ed yes yes please I'm starving give me some food I'll do anything I swear you swear you'll do anything yes anything well all right then if you want food do 100 jumping jacks wait really that's it do 100 jumping jacks now before I get this delicious food away okay okay one two three four five I was expecting to be put through a lot worse but then again it made sense there was nothing around me that I could do anything with and honestly being in there with nothing to do was Madden it was uninterrupted solitary confinement so I would have gladly done a lot worse just for the stimulation little did I know the jumping jacks were only the beginning 100. there I did it now give me something to eat just that something got tossed in from the other side of the hole it splattered onto the ground and I rushed over to it it was a hunk of meat still on the bone some kind of rare steak I thought but I had no idea it could have been anything I devoured it regardless and sucked the fat off the bone chewing on the sinew at the joint and then beating it on the ground to break it open and suck out the mirror it was the best thing I'd ever tasted from then on that was the routine I would be forced to sit in nothingness for hours upon hours biting my nails and picking at the walls and then after waiting for return my captor would give me a stupid ridiculous task each one worse than the last there was even a time where he made me do a humiliating dance and threatened not to feed me if I didn't do it for an hour straight hey get can I please sit my knees can't handle this dance anymore dance dance dance dance dance dance dance dance [Music] I had no choice it was that or starvation and each time the reward was the same a slightly different cut from the same mysterious animal usually still attached to the bow not seasoned with anything just drips and chunks of raw flesh but they were delicious of course I started looking forward to it hey how long do I have to keep doing this when am I gonna get out of here maybe after you clean out my freezer and I say hey what a wonderful kind of day where you can learn to walk and play get along with each other the story is from the point of view of a 15 year old boy I lived in this dingy two-story house since the day I was born it was quite the dread living in as the heaters would malfunction during the winter so we always made sure to have the fireplace on but what made the house extra terrifying was how close it was to a prison I've always wondered for a very long time why my parents chose to live in such a dangerous place so last year I pestered my dad about moving out and looking for a better place to stay but every time I try to persuade him he would brush me off and tell me how this house had been passed down for generations and had always brought good fortune and prosperity to the family as an only child my parents felt it would be appropriate to hire a nanny someone they could trust to take care of me especially when they were out so ever since I was two this old Nanny was basically my roommate her presence made me feel safer and less frightened about the nearby prison however I still had the habit of Looking Out My Window checking out the massive wall atop with barbed wire flowing with electricity I couldn't tell whether I was amazed or if some part of me was still afraid I mean who wouldn't be if you knew your neighbors were some of the most diabolical people ever known to mankind clustered under one room wouldn't that make your heart beat a little faster knowing this prison had maximum security I felt a sense of relief that prompted me to close the curtain and go to bed then the following night I came home late after playing games at my friend's house a few blocks away and upon seeing our garage empty I knew my parents weren't home yet but it didn't matter I knew Sabrina would be home to keep me company like she always did even if we didn't have long conversations however when I entered the kitchen to grab something from the fridge I read a note from Sabrina saying she had to go home to rectify an issue involving her close relatives and her no she promised that she'd try to come back as soon as possible and so she reminded me to keep all the doors and windows locked and to hit the sack early however without supervision i instead took the opportunity to play my phone and when I checked the time noticing was 12 I decided to call it a night then lying comfortably on the bed it was my eyes heavy as sandbags I heard loud footsteps emanating from downstairs half asleep I jolt I initially thought the nanny had returned with some heavy bag or something I hastily ran down the stairs to greet her even though she often told me not to but as I descended to the first floor a cold sensation wrapped around my skin then gazing into the darkness before me my throw went dry as I called out and said Sabrina is that you I waited but there was no answer and so I called out to her once more hey Sabrina however nothing but silence filled the air Sabrina this isn't funny I yelled an exasperation then seconds later I heard one of her trash bins topple over followed by a low Menace of chuckle I Stood Still and as soon as my body quivered I had second thoughts about staying there convinced that the best thing to do was just run upstairs and hide however I was too scared to move moments later someone began to emerge from the darkness and as the mysterious person came toward me revealing their identity under the foyer's dim lights I instantly recognized it wasn't Sabrina instead it was a large man he was leaning about seven feet tall wearing an orange T-shirt and pants he had long thinning hair and was disheveled like he hadn't showered in days he didn't say a word and that was the most terrifying thing not knowing what he planned to do made me panic then all hell broke loose when the large man made direct eye contact with me triggered by the adrenaline I began sprinting up the stairs lock myself in a room and hid under the bed and never crossed my mind that I would come face to face with a stranger in my house but I didn't know where else to go as I bit my nails in sheer Terror I could hear the man running around my house smashing into walls tearing the place down Sue I heard the sounds of furniture breaking in glass shaft and then that's when all the lights around the house went out you can't hide from me I tried to crawl out from under the bed desperately searching for a phone to call 9-1-1 but I couldn't see amidst the darkness still I didn't give up however has time passed I heard the commotion downstairs finally cease followed by something more terrifying that's when I hear footsteps coming up the stairs they were slow but heavy I knew if I didn't find my phone quickly I may never see daylight again so when my frantic attempt to find my phone I suddenly hit what appeared to be a drawer that's when everything went quiet I didn't even want to breathe I knew I had stupidly blown my cover I then heard the creep opening the doors to the other rooms one by one mine was at the end of the hallway so I knew he would eventually inspect this room as well as soon as I grabbed my phone I crawled underneath the bed once more where I instantly contacted 9-1-1 and said hello this is an emergency there's a giant stranger I mean man there's a giant man in my house please help I tried to keep my voice down as I described the man at this point I swear I could hear the man breaking more stuff from the three other rooms hey buddy where are you come out come out wherever you are and that's when I heard my door Creak open [Music] foreign I held my hands across my mouth the entire time and that's when the most terrifying thing happened the men yanked me from underneath the bed and started slamming me onto it that's where I slapped both of my hands and my cheeks and weld in misery I legitimately thought my life was going to be over until I heard several police officers shouting at the man to get on the floor since I lived next to a Penitentiary officers were always roaming close to my house and it didn't take long until they barged through the front door and apprehended the man later on I discovered that the Crete was a convicted murderer who disguised himself as one of the security staff allowing him to escape the prison consequently when my parents found out about the incident they finally decided it was time to move out and find a safer neighborhood to live in [Music] thank you this story happened during the Christmas holidays I'm a father a husband and a breadwinner which entailed me to work overtime more often than not of course it was infuriating as I wanted to be home with my family rather than trapped in a cubicle for hours on end I had been trying to persuade my boss to offer me a home-based job I'd always get on his good side hoping to Enlighten him regarding the benefits of working remotely however no matter what I did he kept rejecting my pitch looking for ways to bombard me with overtime work there was never enough time for me to get a decent rest until vacation finally arrived however with only three days off namely Christmas Eve Christmas Day and boxing day it still felt like I needed more time to rejuvenate so in the end it still wasn't much of a vacation for me when I'd see my boss and all the others from the upper management leave the office early while the lower Echelon were given additional tasks I'd bite my lower lip in frustration but every night when I'd arrive home I'd always find my wife sleeping soundly exhausted from all the work house cleaning and cooking in addition to taking care of our son on weekends whenever I have the chance to check up on my son in his bedroom I usually find him drawing and eating a variety of chocolates when I asked my son where he had gotten them he would reply with Willy Wonka gave them to me Willy Wonka are you talking about Mr Francis I replied assuming it was one of his male teachers he would then reply with nope I said Willy Wonka not Mr Francis dad without a tinge of reluctance I scolded him telling him the chocolates were bad for him as a result he ran to his mother to complain about how I was being a horrible parent Through The Years my son and I had grown strange since I was barely home and would arrive home to watch my son draw while munching on these alleged Willy Wonka chocolates which irked me every so often whenever I tried to speak to my wife about it she would always brush it off like it wasn't a big deal I remember even calling the school just to complain about it but every time I'd called they'd respond the same way denying the school's engagement and handing out chocolates irresponsibly moreover they'd claim to have no association with Willy Wonka's products so one day I waited for my boss to head out of the office so I could sneak out of work and when the coast was clear I drove to my son's school concealing myself amongst the trees near the playground wearing a trench coat with binoculars in hand I just had to know where the hell my son was getting these chocolates from when he eventually left the school I noticed him walking towards a different direction instead of the way home this immediately prompted me to follow him moments later I saw him enter an abandoned building by the corner of the street I led about a minute go by before I followed him in there and snuck inside that's when I noticed standing before me was a chocolate factory towering over me like an edifice that came straight out of a novel and the more I gazed into the mammoth sure the more I realized it resembled the one I saw in Willy Wonka's movie with ramps and lines everywhere I must be going nuts I told myself but despite my doubts I went deep into the rabbit hole there were oddly shaped machines and Contraptions left and right moments later I saw my son speaking to a man dressed up as Willy Wonka from a distance he literally looked like the character in the film as he wore the same giant top hat and Sleek velvet coat I couldn't help but wonder what this man's true identity was and what's his purpose for meeting my son it would soon become evident as I listened intently to their conversation so my dear boy you finally made it here school's such a drag isn't it kinda this can all be yours if you want but you must leave school so you can live here full time and have all the chocolates you want well that sounds like fun but no box the only but that matters here is is what's in those boy [Music] what the hell is he doing for reasons I couldn't understand something was off like he was trying to take my son luring him in with these chocolates anyway here are the chocolates you asked for take them home and come back the next day for more but before I let you go I have a I want you to try I tackled the creep to the ground and restrained him as I yelled at my son saying don't just stand there you idiot call the cops now out of fear he did what I instructed him to do and soon the police arrived arresting Willy Wonka moments later as I spoke to the investigators I discovered that the man behind the disguise wasn't a stranger he was he was my boss it became clear why my boss left early for work all this time he left me in the office to do all the work just so we could laugh his [ __ ] in his obsession for sweets and give them to my son but what makes this story all the more disturbing was how my son's drawings that he had been invested in all this time was just drawings of Willy Wonka all this time knowing that this was happening behind my back makes me sick every time I see chocolate anywhere I go foreign I've always loved winter more than any other season I like to go out into the backyard and make a dozen snow forwards snowballs and other random Snow sculptures depending on how soft the snow was recently though there's been a stain on my enjoyment of winter and it's all my brother Arthur's fault there was a snowball that I used to keep in my freezer that reminded me of a Sentimental day but I know that four eyed Pig took it a dirty liar I know he took my snowball I can't imagine what he wanted with it except to torment me I'll never forgive him I don't even like leaving my room anymore my family is like a bunch of monsters whenever I go into the kitchen I feel like Arthur is always sitting there stuffing his face with all the food in the house and he never has anything nice to say to him just mean things hey DW have you decided to stop hiding from us yet no I'm just going to play in the snow you better not come with me snowball Thief oh my God is that snowball all you care about come on DW grow up already that was my favorite snowball and you probably ate it because you thought it was Vanilla Ice Cream you big fat pig hey all right already what's going on in here Mom Arthur's picking on me again why what's he doing that's so bad I told you he took my snowball and now he's rubbing it in my face Arthur is that true no I never took her snowball she's lying no he's lying he's a dirty rotten liar and I hate him now DW that's no way to talk to your brother we've been over this snowball crap a million times already it's snowing outside so there's no need to cry and moan about a silly snowball when you can go and make a hundred more in the backyard but it won't be the same shut up just go outside and make another snowball you whiny little brat how many times do I have to deal with this stupid snowball crap I don't want to go anymore I don't care what you want get out of my sight before I get my Louis Vuitton belt and make LV signs all over your stinking ass that means go to your room DW don't test me little boy stupid fat mustard eating all my food I should have never made either of those little twerps I hate you more I didn't care what any of I only went back to my room because I forgot to put on my coat before going out into the snow but on my way there I noticed Arthur's door was just the slightest bit open enough for me to see his desk I stopped and peeked in and legit saw my favorite snowball half melted onto the same plate sitting there in his room hi snake he snuck up behind me he probably put it where I could see it on purpose what are you doing stupid inside my room uh oh uh nothing nothing at all I was just wondering if you'd like to go outside and play in the snow with me like I'd ever want to play with you why couldn't mom have just taken a plan B I got my winter clothes on and went outside to the backyard I always felt so much better out there than I did trapped inside with those horrible people no matter what the weather was like I wanted to Build a Snowman that day since snowballs have been ruined for me of course the Snowman starts with a big snowball on the bottom and the smaller ones on top of it I was just about to start putting on the snowman's head when I started to feel like I was being watched I looked up to Arthur's window and realized he was watching me from his room I got mad and chucked a snowball at his window it exploded into powder but he didn't even Flinch he just closed the blinds that's when I heard loud footsteps ascending from the staircase and an out came Arthur grilling me right in the face Darwin a Fred Dora win a Fred Dora win a friend leave me alone or I'm calling Mr rapper what the hell is he gonna do give me a d on my next exam I thought he already gave you the D why are you little I was terrified he didn't even look like my brother he looked like the most evil monster I've ever seen he just kept looking at me with these horrific eyes I backpedaled and armed myself with another snowball I didn't have anything to defend myself so in a panic I thought I could throw some snow into his eyes but give me that snowball he understood grabbing my wrist and biting the snowball right out of my hand he almost took a finger with it too he devoured it like a rabbit animal as soon as he was done he turned on the half finished snowman oh he was distracted I ran inside and hid under the kitchen table Arthur flew in behind stomping around and calling my name taunting Fred where are you I wanna get all your snowballs how'd you that's when he found me hiding under the table he put the table over with so much force that had broken half when it landed on the ground I didn't know what else to do so I ran as fast as I could into the backyard again Arthur was right behind me running faster than he ever had like it wasn't even him controlling his body anymore he grabbed me by the hair and he yanked me back spun me around and then held me up by the collar an inch from his face so close I could smell the stench of his breath he opened up his mouth so wide that I could see all of his teeth were Jagged and sharp like a monster and right there I knew he was about to bite my head off stop wait you want snowballs right look over there right there there's the bottom of the Snowman still that's a huge snowball won't you eat that instead and spare me please Arthur he'd grunny without saying a word and threw me aside by the time I picked myself up and looked at him he's already stuffing the entire giant snowball into his mouth to devour in one bite he started to chew and at first there was crunch of snow the day the crunch of something else blood began to Ooze from his lips he looked so confused it was funny really how easily he fell for it how does your favorite dog in the whole world taste Arthur that's right I rolled up a little Old Town to that snowman because I knew you wouldn't be able to help yourself around my snowballs you absolute [ __ ] you should have just admitted what you did then maybe your best friend would still be alive no no I'm a big gal so I have my troubles with dating just to get people in the door I have to resort to catfishing otherwise none of them would ever even consider meeting me in person as soon as they see me there's a 98 chance that they just run away and ghost me that other two percent of them that stick around though those are the ones I'm so persistent for I definitely understand what makes them stay there's plenty of Margaret to go around more woman that they could ever dream of and almost always more than they can handle but I still have my fun voluptuous hardly even begins to describe the body that those ever so tasteful men get to take to bed they should consider themselves lucky there's been this one little cutie I've been dating for a while and his name is Gilbert I think I'll take things to the next level with him soon like most of the men who ended up having the attraction to me he's a real skinny one we hit off though as they say opposites attract but we have a common interest in getting together with some Netflix on the TV and some Uber Eats on the table that's been our routine for a couple weeks now but as much as I like it especially since he pays for all of it can you really fault a girl for getting bored of the same thing over and over again recently I've been dropping Gilbert's subtle hints hints for him to take this thing more seriously if you know what I mean he knows he's my main squeeze or at least that I want him to be but he also knows I mess around with other guys I think that's what's making him ride the brakes he feels a little threatened I like it that way though I like to put a man's manhood into question they do all sorts of crazy stuff when you do that and it's been an interesting ride with Gilbert the whole way we started things out by putting on horror movies so we could cuddle and Spoon on the couch but of course that didn't work for long because Gilbert kept complaining that he couldn't see the TV I didn't like him saying that even though he didn't mean to make me feel bad but he did have to go and remind me that I basically take up the whole couch so I offered a slide little solution I sit up on the couch and he sits in my lap another way was me laying on my side while Gilbert sat right on top of me like how Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall obviously he agreed right away and I could tell how much he loved it when I saw that it made me so happy I go through a lot of boyfriends because it's hard for me to get one to stick around but when I see a man succumb to my ways and means like that I know I'll get to keep them still Gilbert was a man after all so it was only a matter of time before that position started to make him feel emasculated that's when I knew we were ready to take things to the next level hey Meg yes Gilbert baby I know you like being on the bottom but what do you think about me being on the bottom oh but I'm too big to be on top you'll get hurt you poor fragile little thing you see but it's just that right there I don't want to feel like a fragile man when I'm with with you I mean I don't want you to feel like you're with a man who's too weak to handle all of you super baby boy you are too weak to handle all of me trust me well don't doubt me mistress I'll do what I want now I like that attitude feisty well all right then let me hear all about what you want to do I want to lay on the couch with my woman in my arms and I want to watch a wonderful night's worth of Netflix with her till we both fall asleep in a loving Embrace oh she's such a flowery romantic or I mean you're such a well-spoken man he was just so confident about it that even though I'm usually too self-conscious about my size to ever do it I did it for him we got up to trade places on the couch he laid down with his long skinny body open to me and I laid down right on top of him I always forget what it feels like to have a man try to grab as much of me as possible at once Gilbert was totally disappeared underneath me completely surrounded by my Curves in essence he immediately started moaning super loud and squirming with pleasure the little twig was actually making it hard to relax [Music] stop stop uh Gilbert you're tickling me I'm me Gilbert shut up you're talking over the best part of the movie after the initial Rush of excitement washed over Gilbert calmed down a little bit see Isn't it nice to settle in now we can just Netflix and chill you know we can unwind and decompress and all he had to do was simmer down of course it's flattering to know that I can get you so excited but come on dear a real man should be able to get a hold of himself he became very submissive after a few minutes I guess me grilling him like I was his mother might have put a damper on his masculinity but whatever unfortunately after a few minutes I started to miss Gilbert's banter he wasn't even trying to say anything anymore I got bored of the horror movie eventually so to try to put some energy back into things I played one of my favorite stand-up comedians he always gets me busting a gut right away don't you think he's just hilarious girl ah what a riot Gilbert why aren't you saying anything Gilbert Gilbert oh well Margaret it's not your fault it's just how it goes that was the end of my little Flint with Gilbert I guess he was fun while he lasted but it's time to go come so I got up from the couch and took him to the closet where the rest of them go when I'm done with them geez Louise I'm gonna have to reorganize here soon things are just flying off the shelves every time I open the door and I do go through a lot of boyfriends they just can't get enough of me but I still have trouble getting them to stick around for some Netflix and chill [Music] the story is from the perspective of a woman I'm a single mother of a young teenage boy I'm very busy with work which means we don't have a lot of opportunities for quality time so I like to take them with me when I go out to run errands go shopping and whatnot this last Christmas I took my son to the mall obviously the whole place was a madhouse but there were holiday deals and discounts all across the board so I brave the chaos I got my son to play a game of sorts where we both look for the best price cuts and bonus points for anything that could be bought with food stamps unfortunately he didn't find it that interesting he played along for a little bit so I wouldn't feel bad because he's a sweet boy but he's definitely getting to be too old to be duped into things like that or at least I thought he was maturing I was in the Foot Locker when I realized I lost him I immediately left go searching that's when I noticed a giant crowd forming outside the store I headed out to see what the commotion was about and there stood a man dressed up as the Grinch I never seen a costume so accurate to the Jim Carrey Grinch like that before all I knew was that this guy fit the bill if Hollywood ever needed to hire a grinch actor I even spotted my son waiting in line to go up and get a picture with him I started to scold him for running off and wanted to drag him back inside but he turned out to be far more interested in getting that picture than I thought Jamie where have you been you can't just run off like that what if somebody took you I'm sorry Mom I wanted to take a picture with the Grinch how about Santa he seems lame I want to pick with the Grinch not Santa if I want a big one sand I would have just took a pic with your ex I took the time out of my schedule to give my son what he wanted the whole time we were in line I was looking at the Grinch character something deep down inside me made me not trust him he kept glancing over at us the whole time despite the large crowd hovering around what would make things even more strange was how he didn't break eye contact and he just kept looking at us while other folks took photos with him I was slowly warming up to the whole idea of actually meeting him but that's about when things started getting really weird when it was my son's turn to get a photograph the Grinch sat down by the bench and instructed my son to sit on his lap despite taking standing shoulder to shoulder photos with every other person how how Merry Christmas what's your name little boy my name is Jamie Jamie you don't have to sit on his lap if you don't want to it's okay Mom I want to are you sure are you deaf lady he said he wants to I was completely taken aback I wanted to bite his head off when he snapped at me like that everyone around us thought it was in use making me the laughing stock of them all I didn't want to look like a Karen or something so instead of freaking out right then and there I did what I had to do to keep it together but I made sure to stay within 30 feet of them are how have you been what I said how have you been how's it going kid I mean it's good but aren't you supposed to ask me what I want for Christmas what do you think this is some kind of Charity I'm the Grinch not Santa you've been hanging out with your whole mom too much she probably gets Christmas gifts every day with that dump truck I think I want to go now what I'll get you what you want for Christmas I know what it is already you want to get rid of that helicopter mom over there right what no let me go where do you think you're going you little weasels let him go oh you freak I slapped the creep right in the face I grabbed my son and we got the hell out of there nobody in the crowd got in our way they made room for us actually I guess their tune changed when they saw the way that man was interacting with my son we didn't go back into the mall we went straight for the car when we got there I was so worked up about the whole thing that I had to let my heart settle for a second before I could even think about driving away I then said to my son are you okay Jamie he was about to answer but then I heard this blood curdling scream a mother could ever hear I looked up from my hands and saw in the rearview mirror that somebody had yanked Jamie right out of the back seat of my car I literally screamed from the top of my lungs that's when I realized the same green bastard was attempting to kidnap my son I rushed down stunned as the man stuffed Jamie into the back seat of his car I tried to pull him off but he was unhinged with one blow he pushed me away and knocked the wind out I watched in Horrors he slammed the door and drove off with my son I immediately got up and started to scream and holler desperately trying to get the whole parking lot's attention then one of the security officers raced past me in their car and made a beeline straight for them going way too fast to stop foreign that's when they collided with the kidnapper who was making a left turn causing him to spin out to a halting stop the security officer stumbled out of his car clearly dazed by the impact but he still kept going like some kind of retired cop he apprehended the man while I ran over to make sure my son was okay he was a little shaken up by the crash but thankfully he only had a few minor scratches and bruises but as it turns out that man that kidnapped my son was his own father my worthless ex-husband he put together the whole plan following me around to see where I went posing as the grand the scumbag knew our son's favorite Christmas tree and tried to use it against us because he disagreed with the Court's decision to give me full custody but after that little stuff his son will be an adult by the time he gets out of prison that's what the dirt bag gets for putting his son through a traumatic experience on Christmas Eve the story was inspired by a case that happened on Christmasy a distraught father used a tracking device to follow his ex-partner to a shopping center he then blocked her car in and grabbed their child in a Sinister and disturbing attempt to take him out of the country [Music]
