thought we were cancer patients still feel bad about it it's not a cancer okay but who would think though that somebody with a bald cap on why would somebody dress up as a cancer patient for halloween i don't know like i was like you could at least think we're being old people or something seriously like why was that your number why was that your go-to well we decided that we would um we would like wear big clothes and stuff our clothes so we looked fat oh i don't know i don't know why they still don't understand um one time i was a duct tape fairy what what even is that i don't know duct tape fairy i literally don't know i curled my hair i looked so pretty because i was going to a halloween party and the boy i liked was going to be there beautiful and my sister elissa made me a duct tape tutu thing out of duct tape i don't remember any of these and um I guess I just never paid attention to it.
6:33Tissue paper. Yeah, well, I'm trying to think of what else I did in high school. And I literally was not a costume. I just... Oh, my best costume ever was when I dressed up as an old lady when I had a pixie cut. Oh, yeah. That was good. Mom curled my hair like old ladies do, and I really legit looked like an old one. You did. You'll have to post that one on your story. Yeah, I'll sign that one. That one did look like an old lady. Yeah, it did. I was proud of that one. I'm proud of this one, too. I really do look like the Lorax. I was a nurse last year just because I could wear my scrubs. Yeah.
7:07Is it stuck in your face? Oh, gosh. Oh. That sounded so funny. That suction cupped my cheeks. Did you hear that? Ew. Okay. Oh, okay. This is the last Halloween, like, disaster story that I have. When I was in, I think, seventh or eighth grade. I think it was in eighth grade. I had a Halloween party a joint Halloween party with our older sister Alyssa and I invited like a million people literally I invited so many people and one person came only one person one person actually I think there was like two or three that came for like 20 minutes and left and Alyssa had like 15 friends there well why do you think I never threw a Halloween party is because I knew nobody would that one it like still makes me sad it like breaks my own heart when I think about it like if that were to happen to any of my kids we decked out the basement like the basement wasn't finished and we like decked it out with we put like spider webs up and like all these halloween decorations and mom and dad like bought all these cute decorations i remember that i dressed up all cute and we got like a projector so we could watch a scary movie and like a bunch of pillows and blankets and nobody came i remember that now that you're talking about it that literally traumatized me i have not thrown a party since yeah i threw a birthday party one time i don't your own birthday party i'm just kidding i had a birthday party anyway and i fought with one of my friends and that's so oh i feel like i remember that we were like i don't even know i think i do remember that you guys were like yelling at each other i don't really even remember but like you guys had like separated into like two different groups yeah and i was on one side of the house and she was on the other i was like it's my freaking birthday yeah i do remember that actually yeah i don't know what we were fighting about i can't remember i don't know but i have no idea but i never threw a halloween party yeah probably because it traumatized you seeing mine seeing how sad I never really went to a lot of Halloween parties I guess for like our Halloween dance I dressed up as Halloween dance like at high school yeah oh the monster mash yeah I don't I dressed up as someone from the 90s nice but I was obsessed with like in high school like I had to have the cutest costume yeah like I couldn't go all out because I wanted it to be cute exactly yeah you didn't want it to be you want to be cute right yeah honestly the only costume i remember from high school is the bald and the old lady that's it i can't remember anything else i did i remember the ghost the ceiling fan and i was another thing that was like a joke but i can't remember what it was i hate when like it's a pun and no one gets it i know like you know a new girl and she's raining cats and dogs i'm like no one understands oh yeah i forgot about that okay okay let me tell you guys first really quick i was going to put on a really long brown wig and buy like one of those shirts that's like like a muscle shirt that's like it's like it's like a fake like upper half of a boy's body and like say like bella where the hell you've been loca

11:08They're perfect though. They look like they're corduroy. Like literally shaggy pants. They are. Oh, they're like stretchy corduroy. No, they are literally corduroy. No, they're, are they really? No, they're stretchy. Oh, I was like, they look good. No, they're stretchy. They're a little tight though. Well, my hoodie's a little tight too. Just kidding. Okay, let's get into these spooky stories. Okay. Did you, did you feel like we told enough of Halloween fails? I think so. I'll say, I, not gonna lie, I hated Halloween growing up i always like my costumes never worked out exactly like i wanted them to or oh you know i never got invited to any cool parties we we bought all those fat suits oh yeah and one time um we had like the bishop brick in our um lds board all where the fat suits were you there when that happened and the one we had one that was a ballerina but i had blow up boobs and the bishop wore that one with the blow up boobs did you think it was funny yeah it was funny oh good that's funny oh the trunk or treats yeah those were those were my favorite i just remember like always wanting to be invited to like these parties yeah never really yeah i know me too i never went to any of the parties like even when i moved out here and i had friends who did throw parties i just but like i just feel like every halloween was always just a flop yeah yeah my friends always wanted to get scared which is fun but i also don't hate being scared so i was like I am not into this.
12:33I really like like the haunted corn maze and yeah haunted woods and stuff like that. I like that stuff and I like to watch scary movies but yeah. One time I had a boyfriend once you guys for like two weeks in high school. I probably didn't even last time it was a couple days probably but we went to the haunted woods. It's this okay it's in the place we came from. It's in the place we grew up.
13:03yeah that's it that's the end of the story no we went to the haunted woods it's a really creepy place and uh did you have to sign the waiver form no they didn't have a waiver form oh they have maybe they did they have a waiver form now because they can touch you oh ew i hate that yeah anyway so my boyfriend was really scared this was when i had my first kiss really yeah that same night we like he wanted to hold my hand so bad but he wouldn't let me hold his hand because his hand was too sweaty so yeah but he was really scared and i could tell because he was like dead silent the whole time he's super he's like don't scream don't scream don't scream well and one time i went with some friends and there's a part at the end where they had like these bars like jail cell bars and one of my friends swung it closed and i literally ran head first into it it hurt so freaking bad I'm pretty sure I had like bar marks on my face.
13:52Oh my gosh. Anyway, so then I went to McDonald's with my boyfriend and we kissed in the parking lot. Well, one time I went to the haunted corn maze with my friends and you know they have like a box spring or something that they like bury in the dirt. Yeah. So you trip. You trip. Yeah. Well, I had just gotten a corduroy, a cortisone, a corduroy. A corduroy. I was wearing corduroy pants. A corduroy shot in my knee. So my knee was like super stiff. Uh-huh. And I don't know why I decided to go to the corn maze anyways. but then they all start like took off running you're like and i was like trying to like hobble behind them and then i stepped on that freaking mattress and face planted right in the dirt like i had dirt in my teeth because i hit the ground i had dirt in my mouth it was gross oh so yeah halloween is just so awkward i feel like because it is awkward you're like too young to dress like sexy right you try to right it just doesn't work or even if you try and dress sexy you're like i I don't know.
14:46It just is no good. I could never find a costume that I was like, I look freaking hot. That is sexy. Not that I was trying. Besides the one I'm wearing right now, obviously. I look good. Yeah, you do. Especially without the mustache. I look like, you know when people shave and you're like, whoa, you look ugly. That's what I look like right now. One of your eyebrows is falling off and I can't stop staring at it. This one? Yeah. I'm going to take this off in just a second. Let's get into these spooky stories. Okay. Everybody buckle up. Buckle up because they're scary.
15:23For story number one, everybody buckle up. Okay. That was my buckle. Stop. Okay. When I was a little girl, we lived on a rough side of town. So me and my sister shared a room and we had crawled into bed. And about 15 minutes after my dad turned the light out, we could hear someone talking outside our window. The voice was trying to open our window. Me and my sister ran to my parents' room to tell them that, and my dad went outside with his pistol and found a drunk man trying to get into our room. He pistol whipped him and called the cops. Turns out he had assaulted a lady who was walking home and wanted to assault me and my sister.
15:57He is now in prison. Scary. Oh my gosh. Are you more scared of people or ghosts? Like spirits. You know what I mean? Um, I think people. Yeah? Why? I don't feel like a lot of times I've been, I've. You've never felt a spirit? I've never felt like a ghost. Yeah. So they're not real. Yeah, that's scary. I hate that for you. Sorry. I'm glad you didn't get assaulted, though. Yeah, that's crazy. I'm glad that your dad pistol whipped him. Shut up. What does it mean to pistol whip? Like you just slap him with the pistol? No. I don't know what it means. I think it means you like scare him off. What do you mean?
16:34Like you're holding a pistol and you're like, I'm going to shoot you. You don't hit him with it? I don't think so. Well, then why do they call it pistol whip? I don't know. Okay, go. Okay. When I was about 16, we lived out in the middle of nowhere on a farm. I was coming home one night after curfew, so crazy late, and my headlights on my truck were pointed to the pasture, and I saw a big shadow of this tall man walking through the pasture. He was massive, like didn't look human type big. I backed up and went to my friend's house for the night because I was not about to get out of my truck at my house.
17:07Now I hate the dark and can't handle being in the woods or pastures at night. Ew. That's scary. That is scary. There's like a phenomenon, not phenomenon, there's like a, they call it like the hat man, where it's this, like it's a ton of people see this like appearance of this really tall guy wearing a hat. Like it's like, yeah, that's so yucky. I wonder if that was hat man or whatever. Sick. Ew, I hate that. Okay, next one. Are you ready? Okay, me and my husband are renting our house. And one night my husband had a very vivid dream that someone was very aggressively trying to break into our house through our bedroom window which is right behind our bed it was such a vivid dream that it woke him up in a panic later the next day i got a call from our landlady sister saying that our landlady died that night we convinced her we can we're convinced her spirit was trying to get back into the house it was her childhood home ew oh that's so scary i have chills and my eyes are watering and i can't even close my eyes why can't you close oh because I can't cover my eyes because I'm scared you know like I do in scary movies yeah ew I hate that you know in our last house I felt like did I talk about this I think I talked about on the episode we ended up throwing out but there was like I could like feel like a spirit and I really think it was like the person who had owned the house previously because she had passed away in the home oh I don't think she was like it wasn't evil but I could just yeah feel her presence When I lived in Evanston, there was a room downstairs that had, like, the devil worshiper sign on it.
18:39Carved into the wall. Carved? Carved into the cement. And it was, like, the star. I don't know if it's a devil worshiper, but, like, the star with the circle around it. And then in the room that me and the guy I was living with moved in had clowns painted on the walls. And so I had spray painted over it. But, like, if you hit them at the right light, you could still see them through the paint. And there were spirits downstairs. stairs like like that's where the laundry was and we would like book it down there oh I like do the laundry and then we book it back up and when he started doing the missionary lessons we had them come in and like bless the house and it went away like it was fine downstairs so I wrote there was there was evil spirits down there oh I hate that so much I'm literally gonna cry yeah it was scary okay this next one's really long do you want to read it or do you want me to I can read it okay one day when I was about eight years old my mom said she was going somewhere and was taking my two younger siblings who were about two and five at the time.
19:31I wasn't listening well because I was reading. After some time, I ventured out of my room to see if anyone was in the house. As I approached the living room, I could see my little brother wearing only a diaper in the corner of the room. I called out his name in surprise, but it wasn't him. What faced me can only be described as a cross between Gollum and the child from The Grudge. He had a somewhat blue tone, black hair, and wore nothing but a loincloth. He traveled towards me, moving on to the kitchen and to my parents' room. Despite his movement, his eyes and face never turned away from me, almost owl-like.
20:03I was paralyzed by his gaze and was entranced rather than fearful. Like an idiot, I followed. There I was met by the little creature on all fours. His back arched and he sprung into the nightstand by my parents' bed. We called that particular one the shoebox, which was filled to the brim with shoes, meaning that nothing else could have fit. I snapped out of my trance, questioning reality. I hopped up onto the bed ready to creak open the door of the nightstand when it began to violently shake. Mind you, it was immovable, a fixture of the house. I came to my senses and bolted outside to go get help when I noticed my mom in the yard.
20:40She had been out watering the lawn and there stood my brother in his diaper. I told her what I had seen. She replied that I was napping and it must have been a dream. However, I distinctly remember running outside from their room, not mine, which was on the other side of the house. I always wondered if my mind has come up with false memories to fill in the gap. A few years ago, I told this story to my sister and her face dropped. She said that one night she woke up to the sound of our closet opening. Our beds were on opposite sides of the room and mine was closest to said closet. There was a figure she could see on my bed in the dark and tried to talk to me to ask if I was all right.
21:13The creature turned with red glowing eyes and ran back into the closet where it had come from. Are we both crazy or was there something in that house? I'm literally crying there's tears in my face are you that scared no it's like an emotional reaction like when you're crying i'm not like scared but like when i get like tingly like goosebumps it makes my eyes i have tingly on my arms this this story was this story was so scary it made sam cry oh my gosh when you when you said it was a cross between golem and the child from the grudge i'm literally are you okay yeah i'm not even like oh i don't know what's wrong with me that's so freaking scary that's like my worst nightmare is to see something in my home and then like not feel safe you know yeah oh my friend from high school told me a story about her sister one time that they were like sitting she used to sleep talk or walk or whatever and she was sitting up in her bed and my friend went in there was just like talking to her because sometimes she like shocked her and she would be kind of weird like that and she was like just asking her something she's like what's your name and she's like I don't know ask her and just like pointed to a corner of the room oh and like that even from then on I was like so scared of there's something being in my room and this story literally sent me off the edge if you can't tell when I worked in the care units A lot of times people would point to things to the wall or to a random space and talk to the random spaces.
22:46Ew. Which wasn't super creepy because I just really felt like they were just seeing something. Yeah. But sometimes, like there was one lady who did it so much and it was so creepy. And she would wake up in the middle of the night and just start screaming and book it down up and down the hall. Just run when I did graveyards. So I don't do graveyards anymore. Yeah, I wouldn't either. This literally scared the waterworks right out of me, just so you guys know. Okay, next one. Not necessarily scary, but when my mom worked at an assisted living home, she would tell us that she knew every time someone was going to pass away because many of the residents would come out into the hall and ask about all the people hurrying about dressed in white.
23:25There is usually one or two people on duty at a time. What do you mean that's not scary? What do you mean? What do you mean that's not a scary story? That is terrifying. I have goosebumps and I'm about to cry again. Okay, my husband met an officer this year who told him this story. One random morning, he got called out to Fort Duchesne. It was a house that borders Skinwalker Ranch. They asked the man what the problem was, and he took the officers to his backyard. He said that someone slash something moved his huge storage container overnight. The officers could see the huge weeds that had grown around the container for the last 15 years, and the container was somehow across the yard.
24:03No truck tires or anything. Skinwalker Ranch is known for lots of UFO activity, and that seems to be the only explanation. I don't think I was ready for this episode. You don't think? I don't think I was ready. I think we need to turn the lights back on. Okay, but why would the UFO want to pick up this person's storage container? Yeah. Like, were they just like, did they just pick it up? Let's move this. Maybe it's like babies, you know, they pick stuff up and they shake it and they put it down. Put it back down. Maybe they're like giant babies and they pick stuff up. They're like, nothing in here.
24:33Put it down. Yeah. that is scary though like those things are huge yeah like i'm like the shipping containers i think so like a big metal one yeah and you definitely can't just pick that up with like four people i don't even think you could move it with like a regular pickup truck no well maybe i don't know
24:52dodge comments i don't know i have no idea blow smoke okay anyways okay next one this is a long one. Okay, while growing up, we lived in a very old house that Pioneer ancestors built. It creaked and was oddly built, and our laundry room was in a little room built off of my bedroom. This will be important as we go on. My grandparents, who had lived in the house before us, used to have drunks constantly coming to their house and asking for a ride home, which was odd as we lived in the middle of nowhere. After my parents moved in, drunks still continued to come and knock looking for a ride, and when no one would answer, they would begin looking in windows.
25:27Now the laundry room that was connected to the house had a little weird window that was connected to my room. My mom covered it with a pool shade and a favorite Powerpuff Girls poster so we wouldn't lift it and look in there. One night I decided to look in the laundry room and saw a man just standing in the laundry room with his back to me. Once the light hit him and he turned around, I ran screaming to my dad. Now this was pretty mild for me in this house. My sister and I shared this room and had a bunk bed with our feet facing the door. I've always been a very light sleeper and on many occasions I felt like someone was watching me.
25:57I would sit up ever so slightly and be able to look at the door. There in the door would be a very tall man just standing there looking at me. I always assumed it was my dad and even though my dad was much shorter. I would call to him repeatedly saying dad, dad, but with no answer. I just figured he wasn't answering because he wanted me to go back to sleep. Years later after we moved and the house was torn down, I was probably about 22 at the time, I asked my dad randomly one night why he used to come in and just stand in my doorway and never answer on multiple occasions. My dad turned white as a ghost and just stared at me.
26:28When he finally spoke, he was almost mad as to why I didn't come in his room and talk to him. I explained my thinking and he was still absolutely mortified. There was always uneasiness about the things in this area as such as skinwalkers and a long-haired ghost at my grandmother's house. But now as an adult, knowing either a ghost or a man was in my house constantly scares the hello dolly out of me. the hello dolly yeah that's a good way that is freaking scary yeah that would are you gonna be able to sleep tonight no i'm gonna have to watch harry potter i think it's scarier to like hear these stories coming from actual people that we know yeah like even though they're anonymous they're these are people that when they say like there's skinwalkers around i know it's someone from the basin yeah you know someone from around where we grew yeah that's scary af and i hope and pray someday you forget about it i hope so too because anytime you see something out of the corner of your eye you're gonna be like is that that freaking man yeah it's the hat man maybe the baba duke oh yeah i've seen that movie okay in the ninth i hate you guys okay in the ninth grade i was forced to go trick-or-treating with two girls named sam and sid who dressed as bald guys for halloween we got we got cans of tuna fish from some man in an ugly greenhouse you got tuna fish i'm pretty sure it's like eight years expired ew yeah they were like we don't have any candy i'm pretty sure sid was like do you have anything else oh my no no no maybe not no i don't think she did i think though there's like a lady in the house was like hold on and she comes back with cans of tuna fish and then we get back in the car and since mom's like don't eat that well i did that one time they didn't have any candy but they gave us money that would have been so much better you guys got tuna they probably couldn't have given us money that's hilarious we were in the um the not nice part of town okay next one when i was a teenager and still living with my parents we had a haunted blender one night it just started turning off and on despite no one being close to it when we would get close to inspected it would turn on with the loudest blending sound of course my siblings and i would scream and run away from it this happened five times before we finally got the courage to unplug it.
28:44Ew. They're trying to chop you up. Oh, this reminds me one time, actually. I used to share a room with our little brother named Jaden. We had a whole episode with him on it, so people know. Oh, yeah. Anyways, my little brother named Jaden. A little lad. Anyway, he had this Iron Man action figure that he could, like, I don't know if it turned on with a remote or how it turned on, but anyway, one time I was on the bottom bunk and he was on the top bunk, and the Iron Man thing turns on it literally just turned on in the middle of the night and like powers up its arm and it's like scared the crap out of me oh i hate that then it turned off i'm pretty sure i made him throw it away i would have scared the living crap out of me yeah that would have scared the living shiz out of me would have cried okay all right i was working at sunshine terrace a really old nursing home in logan ynta and i had to go in the basement to get supplies which is said to be haunted at 3 a.m.
29:42I went downstairs in the creepiest and only elevator. When I got down there, the lights started flickering and things started flying off the shelves. I booked it upstairs as fast as I could. When things start flying off the shelves, you run. You run. And you don't stop. I would quit. I would quit on the spot. I would be like, someone is throwing things at me. Seriously. It's disrespectful. Um, call the police. Yeah. There's a ghost down there and It's freaking rude. Oh, yuck. There, when I... Never mind. I was going to tell another story about myself. Oh. Okay. Your turn. Okay. When my sister had her bridal shower, all my aunts and girl cousins on my dad's side came out.
30:20We were hanging out at my aunt's hotel room after, and she said she wanted to go to Skinwalker Ranch because she had never been. So all my crazy aunts loaded up into her car like a bunch of teenagers, and we drove over to Skinwalker Ranch. My sister and I refused to get out of the car. If you know about Skinwalker Ranch, you know why. love you Sam this was Alyssa who wrote this in and I just want to say I hate you all still I'm just kidding for making you go to Skinwalker Ranch what? I hate it for making you go to Skinwalker Ranch yeah I did not want to go I was like no no thank you I literally hid in the back seat of the van of whatever car we were in and I was like no thank you I'm not about to do that you know I used to make up a story and tell people that I've been to Skinwalker Ranch and I made up a story you've never been?
31:02no really you want to hear the story? I want to hear it. Okay, so I told them that I would go with my friends. And there was like five of us in the car. And we all got out. And then we heard something scary. So we all jumped in the car. And we made sure everybody was accounted for. And so then we drove away. And all five people were in the car. And then we got like halfway down the road. And we get a call. And one of our friends was still back there. So all five people had gone in the car. But there wasn't actually a fifth person. Ew. He was still in the car. That's a good story, though. I know.
31:29You should keep lying. It sounds so believable. Yeah, it does. I've heard some really crazy stories from people. and like people I know wouldn't lie about it. Yeah. And I don't even want to tell you guys because I will cry. I'll bawl. Okay. Anyway, next one. Okay. My family used to get into our family van. We called it the cheese wagon. I'm sorry. Every summer for a trip. My dad served his mission in Mexico, so we drove down there a few times for our vacation. We usually camped on the beach. My parents and brothers would sleep in tents and the girls in the back of the van. We went with a fun family from Sugar City, Idaho, and there were 14 kids all together.
32:06One night as we were sleeping, we woke up to our van moving. None of us dared peek over the seat to see who was kidnapping us. It was terrifying. I finally got the courage and noticed a Mexican boy sitting on our first row seat. I scared him just as he scared me. My dad was driving and his friend, Bruce, was riding shotgun. This boy was a runaway and was sleeping in our camp with a rug under him. When my dad found him late that night, he decided to take him to the Mexican police station. i will never forget waking my sisters up and telling them we were being kidnapped and the van was moving oh my gosh why would you not i feel like i would wake them up and just tell them like hey i would start screaming i'd be like you are not my dad seriously not my dad yeah i can't believe uh i feel like i know who wrote this in and i can't believe i've never heard the story before who yeah i would probably be i would probably be ticks was he literally gonna kidnap you though Like, for reals?
33:00Or did he not know you were there? No, it said that her dad was driving and his friend Bruce was in the shotgun seat. Yeah, but they woke up to a Mexican boy sitting in our first row seat. Yeah, so they were all sleeping in the back of the van. They loaded up the Mexican boy and were going to take him to the police station, but they probably just didn't want to wake up the girls.
33:26I'm confused. I thought they were sleeping in the van. They woke up and found him in the van, too. Yeah, but they were moving. And then they told the dad about it. No, they woke up and the van was moving. Because they were taking the boy to the police station. Yeah, so they just didn't wake the girls up before they left. Oh, well, bad dad move. Right? I feel like they should have. Wake him up, be like, this boy? You can go back to sleep, but the van's going to start moving. Yeah, we're going to take this boy to the police station because he tried to sleep by us. What an imbecile. Okay, Nick. Okay, your turn?
34:05Yeah, I think so. Okay, last year my friends and I were driving home around 9 o 'clock at night, so it was dark. We were almost close to the turn where our houses are when we saw something off the side of the road. My friends were thinking it was dear, but when we got closer, it was a man running on all fours with his pants down. He still had his underwear on, but his pants were to his knees. and let me just say he was literally running so fast like a dog my friend dropped me off at my house and i sprinted in to tell my family my dad called the cops and they went to look for the man but found nothing we were all definitely startled and didn't drive at night for a long time good thing i wasn't driving because i'm pretty sure i would have hit him girl that was a skinwalker in mid skin shed ew mid morph that's yuck scary that is so scary i hate that so much like running okay if it was like some crazy drunk man he would not be able to move that fast no as fast as a dog oh like no way and especially if you're riding in a car and you're driving past him he would look slower yeah he looked like he was going fast he was probably going so fast oh that's so scary i hate that so much i hate that i'm so sorry i definitely would hit him if i was driving i would have sort of purposely taken it yeah it's like it might not have been like dude i don't oh yuck that gives me the chills okay this is our last dissociating by the way so okay okay this is our last story okay about 20 years ago or so there used to be a person that would call the house when my dad was gone they would only say on they would only stay on the line if it was my mom and just breathe into the phone at first we thought it was a prank but it started happening so frequently my mom didn't want to hear anymore they somehow hacked into the landline and would be on the phone even when my mom wasn't talking to someone else or even when my mom was talking to someone else it finally stopped when my dad was home when he wasn't supposed to be and threatened the person my parents suspect a local cop from the area i just did a google search and it seems likely i found he has been stalking women with a report as early as 1999 what they think it was a police officer who was calling my parents suspect a local cop from the area you what is wrong with that guy that's probably it probably like he's that's probably how he got access to yeah i was gonna say he probably has a way to do that from his job yuck that's gross i see why you say like you're more scared of people than ghosts yeah it's just because i feel like people have i don't know i i think i'm equally as scared to be totally honest like i think so too but like like it's my worst fear someone breaking in my house or like i don't know i always tell myself like i'm a i'm a pretty strong girl i sleep with a taser in my nightstand but like yeah but if someone catches you by surprise seriously the whole point of it is like this element of surprise i know like i'm not gonna be able to grab my taser fast enough i would literally forget yeah i'm always like what would i do i'd poke them in the eyeballs or i i know but like when it comes down to the moment i feel like i would just freeze like what what would you think they would do if you like mooned them or something you think it would catch them off guard maybe if i just went
37:18that's recording

38:04Okay, anyway. I'm going to have to end that on a light note because I am crying. Yeah. Sam gets scared so easy. I know I do, but I also feel like I like, I want to watch scary movies and I want to read scary stories. Oh, I watched a scary movie called Malignant. Oh, I was like Maleficent? No, Malignant.

And if it's, you know, if it's mellow, she'll send it to me. Here's the thing. I get really scared in the moment. Like, I literally cry. But then it doesn't bother me. Like, I could watch the scariest movie, No Man, and sleep just fine. Yeah. Like, give me 20 minutes and I'm over it. It happened to be like one time I went to the movies with my brother, with our two cousins and my brother. And me and my other cousin wanted to watch a movie, but that one was sold out.
