    Bedtime Stories is a good channel. They tell it more in an entertainment way, kinda like telling ghost stories around a campfire. There's also Wartime Stories which is the same but military stories.
    But back in the 90's, my dad was an EMT. This was when airbags were still fairly new. Someone glued those little plastic gems all over their steering wheel. You can imagine the results after they crashed.

    My father owned a 1967 Ford mustang and after his death. The car started doing strange things. Every Time someone would drive it the car would speed up real fast on its own and do a wheelie even when the person was holding down the brake. The car had been sold 3 times to different owners within a year. They would swear it was possessed and the car shouldn't even be able to do a wheelie. My dad loved that car and worked on it almost every weekend, it was his pride and joy. I personally know the first owner after my father and he told me the car would even start up on its own, it creeped him out. That's why he sold it to begin with and when he sold it that owner brought it back to him saying the car had a mind of it's own. My father would take the car to the local racetrack in Tampa and I would watch him race it down the strip. He won most of his races including a nice big trophy 🏆 to boot.

      I mean...I'm legally blind without my glasses. It's not impossible. "Legally blind" just means everything is blurry as hell. Being actually blind means you see nothing.

      Yeah it's one of those things with dumb and confusing terminology. Blind means you can't see. Legally blind usually just means you can't see without help.

    Commenting mostly on your intro. I think if anyone sticks around any of your channels for more than a few videos they're not just here for the ending being spoiled or what have you. We're largely here for the ride from start to see how it gets there. I discovered your content somewhere near a year or two ago with Casual Criminalist and have since found the others and its that general consistent behavior and attitude that has entertained for a long time.

I know GM's quality control was complete shit in the 1990's, but this particular car acted like it was the beneficiary of my Life Insurance Policy.

    Okay so, you note at 33 mins the station as KXAN, I think. That station is in Austin, TX and would not be in Maine regardless, it would start with a W. "All broadcast call signs in the United States begin with either "K" or "W", with "K" usually west of the Mississippi River and "W" usually east of it. Initial letters "AA" through "AL", as well as "N", are internationally allocated to the United States but are not used for broadcast stations."

    I've read a lot of Stephen King and while I also wouldn't call it sex infested there are times I think King talks about a character crotch at a weird time and how the (pre?) teen kids save themselves from Pennywise the Clown in the books is messed up. So I can see how if that's the first story of his you read you might get that that impression.

    Another one I wanted to see you do. You and Roanoke Tales who loves cars. I enjoy ghost stories and I also enjoy you taking a giant shit on them.
    "Stop giving emotions to inanimate objects" trying to fight a long history there. The Japanese had a type of mythical creature called a Tsukumogami. A Tsukumogami was created when an object that had no plastic and no electricity (these two restrictions were added in the modern day by Japanese priests) survived for 100 years. It then was believed to gain a soul, and needed a special ceremony when you got rid of it to help the soul of that object let go peacefully.
    Edit: Simon I love bedtime stories. Their illustrations are fantastic! They aren't coming at it from a skeptic bent or a conspiracy theory bent, more like a folklore bent.
    Also the raspberry car thing, it raises awareness the way the ice bucket challenge raises awareness. >.<
    Edit Edit: OH NO NO NO NO you are NOT blaming this insanity on autism. I'm on the high functioning end of the spectrum myself and I've come up with plenty of weird stories over my lifetime. But not once since I started at twelve (I'm 38) did I confuse fiction and reality.

      It doesn't sound like he's blaming it on autism, and I highly doubt she's autistic at all. Claims to be non-verbal and legally blind, yet drives a bedazzled car? She also claims 74 people killed 10 of her 12 foster children.. because, as we all know, non-verbal autistic blind people are absolutely allowed to foster a dozen kids...
