Less of a horror story, more of a funny one: 2010, Rocky Mountain Fur Con. After the fursuit parade, the hotel offered to take some of us up to an outdoor shopping center nearby where Bass Pro Shop was one of the anchor stores. So a full hotel shuttle of us went up there and they would pick us up in like an hour and a half or whatever. So my best friend Stephen & I walked around with our then-friend Oren Otter in his suit, getting lots of pictures in the fishing department, because otters love fishies. After about half an hour we saw these signs for a hunting seminar and thought "OK, interesting." A couple minutes later, the store's assistant manager came up to us & told us we needed to leave because "Having people in animal costumes near a hunting seminar sends mixed messages." We didn't want to start any trouble so we apologized & left then told the other furries who had taken the shuttle with us what happened. This is still one of my favorite convention memories and one of my go-to "2 Truths and a Lie" or "tell me a funny story about yourself" stories.
That is a horror story, with a funny situation. That was a good way to handle the situation, even if it may have felt lame. You deffently would of not wanted to start Furry hunting season there.
--Did you take my fursuit?! --No one else was using it. --Did you eat my food?! --No one else was using it. --Did you bang my boyfriend?! --No one else was using it, I mean him. *boyfriend shrugs* --he has a point.
Poor beagle. Ngl, that sounds like me. I feel brave to do something to lift my spirits and then next thing you know, all the negative thoughts roll in and over thinking. Oh my god, that sounds like me 100%
Denfur 2019: My first con, hotel told me I couldn't check into my prepaid room becuase I was "underage." My (older) friend, who is active military, showed his military ID and then they treated us like royalty.
@@zacharywood9416 The hotel wouldn't let me check into my room that I already booked and paid for as I was under 21 at the time. Thank god I had a friend with me who was 21 at the time and also in the armed forces, so that made the hotel bend over backwards for us, and transferred my reservation to his name.
this may not count as a horror story, but here we go: It's 2019 in buenos aires, argentina, and Arff (argentina furry fiesta) is being held at a certain hotel a few hours from my place. I travel there knowing I wouldn't be able to get in; but my goal was to meet some online friends there at the entrance. There was this one fellow artist that I spoke to who invited me to meet her at her hotel and go for some coffe so I did. Then came this stupidly fast but heavy rain, completely out of nowhere; and since I didn't have an umbrella, got the most water on me getting pretty soggy. Also the wind, bruuuuuuh. I showed up there, but no sign of her. I waited...and waited...and waited, all this under the weird look someone inside was giving me. Later she texted me to go meet at the cafeteria, and i went there to wait for her. In the meantime, I took a seat by the window, holding my wet backpack to my chest, balancing back and forth (I was so nervous that ticks came up). Baristas thought i was a beggar, and one said "bro you want some leftovers we got here? come grab some if you want". Laughing yet thankful, i told them the truth. As this was happening, she came in, we greeted each other, we talked and so. When we walk back passing the hotel, she tells me that the guy that had been staring at me from the lobby had called a cop thinking i was up to no good. hooded, messy look, not the clearest skin...too many "prejudicable" items together; i might have been arrested till i could provide an ID (mine was at home 6miles away) and have my parents explain who i really was (i went to the con behind their backs). so basically saved by the bell.
@@Voreoptera well, yeah, it's so easy to miss on someone who you've probably never seen in person, lol. Also there can be pretty tight agendas either sides. But it's all worth it in the end. I had a sincere blast. Can't wait to go to one con as attendant! :D
The stalker/clinger-on thing happened to me and my friends too. Some people just have no radar for when they are no longer wanted around. It was to the point where one of my friend had met a guy he thought was cute and was retreating to his room for.. y'know, privacy... and the guy FOLLOWED THEM TO THE ROOM and didn't undrstand that his presence at that time was REALLY not needed.
yeah lots of emo people just don't have a lot of common sense, maybe it's their first con. But just be polite and kick them out, or rather stop them at the door before they follow you in! I always look both ways before entering my room in or out of fursuit! (especially in fursuit)
As a bit of a greymuzzle, I can assure you it's been the same since 2002 when I went to my own first con, AC back when it was in Philly. A lot of this I feel has to do with the history of our group. Three things I feel contribute. First, the general age range, which is usually anywhere from 14 to 27 or so, with exceptions. But the larger portion are teenagers and early 20s. So not always in the most socially apt part of their lives. Second, you're dealing with a lot of people that are, admittedly, in a fandom which attracts fringe members of society. This is both good and bad, because it's cool that furry has been so accepting, but it comes with a cost, which is also partly reason #3, which is that a LOT of furry conventioneers in the 80s and 90s came from other cons (scifi/fantasy fandoms) and were in some cases kind of outcasts, or perhaps better described as we didn't have home conventions of our own for our own interests. (also, I can't speak for others, but I've run into a LOT of other furs who have social issues, are very seriously not socially conscious or well developed that way). Like I said, we attract and tend to include just about anyone. Inclusiveness like that comes at the price of having a lot of people who kind of just 'don't get' personal space, general social contract, or acceptable personal limits. Partly a big reason personal hygiene, making sure furs eat properly at con, and other such things are necessary to be constantly reminded at cons. Of course, part of that is also just because a lot of newcomers show up each year, many younger furs, and they don't understand the need to make sure you feed yourself regularly, stay clean not just for your own safety and welfare, but for others, and to rest yourself, regardless of what parts of con you may be missing. The other downer I feel is some of the cons have just gotten too big. It's great to see so many people at one.... but a lot of cons back in the day were MUCH smaller affairs. Things like the NJ/DE new years furry ball started out as literally 20-odd people at someone's home, and later moved to a hotel and got bigger.. MUCH bigger. Anthrocon I understand started similarly. It's a LOT easier to meet and spend time with other people, friends you don't see often because distance, or otherwise hang out, when there aren't a million panels, events, and other such things going on.
Stealing a fursuit is like stealing someone's identity. Don't do it or you'll get kicked. I just came from Beta telling his own con story about being stalked. I also didn't expect Kona and October.
You can never experience a horror con story if you've never been to a con(lol :'v) Daaaamn sis, that's some crazy sh*t you've been through. This one story you told us was the one you guys told along with chip in the other animated vid? always interesting to hear from others whether good or bad. Since I've yet to attend one, i take it pretty educational (besides obvious behaviour etiquette and basic manners). Like this storytimes, Ash. PS: I'd feel blessed if Beagle or you show up to put a bagel on my room door lol.
I guess the biggest problem this gives me is, how safe is a Furry convection. For someone who only started getting in to Furry's at the start of 2020. I thought most of the time they were fine, and when something does go wrong it is usaly one person doing it.
In my opinion stealing fursuits is considered theft. If it was allowed if someone stole my fursuit I'd have them put in handcuffs or I would lock my fursuit in the closet inside the room
ITS FURSUIT WEATHER, I CAN STOP DYING IN THE HEAT Also please tell me that wasn’t red wine.... otherwise I can garentee you that fox probably threw some hands
My first con will be this coming May, and I've always figured this from certain videos I've watched: 1. Don't be a dumbass 2. Shower, eat, and sleep like a normal person 3. Basic courtesy and respect can go a long way 4. When in doubt, ask.
Ugg it wasn't at a con but one halloween my steap sister and her friends raided my room on halloween. My step sis and her "friends" took my two fursuits, my professional an *exspencive* costume/cosplay makeup and some of my SCA garb, dressed up and went off to some halloween party in the shadey part of town. I had been in the next town over with my friend on a huge zombie walk Halloween day event. After the walk we met some horror enthusiasts who invited us last minute to a live play of Rocky Horror Picture Show party event that night. An prepping for that nights play my an my friend found we didn't have enough makeup to pull off the full "hooker look" we were going for so we decided to go back home to grab my makeup kit an some more costume bits. But I came back to find my room COMPLEATLY ransacked. I had a panic attack from hell as there was easily 3k worth of costumes, makeup & jewelry all missing. Thankfully at the end of Iit all my steap sister and her gang came home at like 6am to me and my *seething* parents. I got most of the exspencive things taken back but I was still a wreck and I missed the show. Needless to say... my room has a super lock an my steap sister was grounded for a year an all her friends banned from our house. 😒😤 Lock you stuff up kids, never know when a gaggle of drugged up young adults will ransack your room.
I am a service dog handler and at my first convention in 2020 the ADA advocate for that particular furcon also had a service dog. I was very excited that they had a whole segment in the opening ceremonies about how to respect service dogs what they do for people and to just ignore them and pretend they don't exist. A few hours later as I was rolling around the dealer's den, we crossed paths with the Ada advocate and her dog, and her dog lunged and snarled teeth gnashing at my service dog. My dog handled it very well and just looked at her dog funny, and she was very apologetic which I appreciate it but at the same time it was very stressful and kind of put me off of conventions for a few years honestly
ok so 2017 i went to Texas furry fiesta in Dallas, TX. With my cousin we went to our rooms a hung out for about 30 minutes and then we went to go walk around. i didn't feel like putting my suit on that day so i just walked around with my head feet paws and tail their was some kids running around following us so me and my cousin didn't think anything suspicious yet. well we get back to our room and we were going to go to sleep for the night and i heard a knock so i woke my cousin Mariah up and i said who would be knocking on the door at 2:30 in the morning she said i bet its those kids. So she got up and checked. She told me no one was there well it happened again and we caught the kids and they stopped we said where's your parents they said we are not telling you and they ran down the hall. So we went back into the room. Got up the next day and i put my whole suit on that day and the kids were outside of our door so we tried to ignore them we walked around and did not see the kids so we thought they maybe were gone for the day so i started to sweat after about two hours and we went back to our room i took my suit off and so did she and we went back out with nothing on we got back and our door was cracked and i was like you cant get in there without the card unless we accidently left it cracked we got in there and first thing i noticed was that my suit was gone so i started looking for it and i was freaking out so after ten minutes of looking i want out there to see if i could find it and i saw the 13 year old kids play with my hand paws so i said to them where are your parents or im telling the convention staff they said fine and they showed me the room where their parents were and i knocked on the door they answered and they said what do you want i said can you keep a better i on your kids and they were messing with my fur suit. They replied with no i said ok i need my suit they said no and started yelling at their kids saying why did you tell them we were here. So i went to the front desk and told them what happen and they went into their room and found my fur suit in their bags. i was so mad but i am very thankful that i got it back.
My friend her cousin and I were at a con I forgot the name but we got lost and 3 people started following us I had my old fur head on and thay would not stop following us the whole con for 4 days the last day me and my friend went home we had to drive 2 days because thay were following us in another car my friends cousin told us one of them gave her there number I called them and asked why thay were following us thay said that there friend loved my furrsuit head and wanted to take a picture with us but thay were to nervous
Not a furry con or a fursuiting story but a horrible furry experience. I remember when my niece allowed me to wear my wolf tail and ears somewhere with her. It was a skating rink. I had a tail I made and Pawstar ears to match it. Someone pulled my tail and I just turned around look so upset about it. I continued to go on like nothing happened. They could've broke my handmade tail I spent 2 days on with barely any sleep to make but I'm glad they didn't. My oldest brother and his wife was there with us and someone ended up throwing a plastic water bottle at my brother's wife. There was this person who howled like a wolf quietly as I passed by them too.. I was upset about it but ignored it the whole time. It was this one group of friends and they were later kicked out and temporarily banned for a month. They were being very rude to me and my family just because I wore a black wolf tail and wolf ears to a skating rink. They didn't even know what a furry was and probably never saw something like this before.
First story made me cry along with them. Ugh... I scary. And oh gosh. having a fursuit taken away by someone. OH GOSH no! These are terrifyingly educational stories. and I thank you for sharing them.
A lot of the comments in this episode is why I try to get a room just to myself at cons. I used to snore really badly (its gotten better) so have kept roommates up at cons before. Or worse, flipping over in my sleep and waking up with my hand on the other person (usually in a bad spot for it to be). Plus I want the alone time in the room at night and sometimes during the day as a break. I am never comfortable with others in the room even if I know then well.
Halloween trick or treating is canceled I wonder what furries gonna do this time of year But me and family still gonna have a party so what ya gonna do this canceled Halloween
Fun and interesting video on these horror stories lol but this videos definitely a guide on (not) ruining the con for everybody. Do not do these things people do in these stories!!!
I have a furry con horror story but it’s severely inappropriate.. Involving two creepy guys.. so instead I’ll just talk about the time I saw a fursuit that I recognized. I went up to the suiter and said hey (their name here) and they laughed at me. I later on found out that they had bought the suit and changed the design slightly. It wasn’t really scary, but it was EMBARRASSING.
I’ve never been to a furry convention, but I’m hoping to have my first in 2021 (if covid still isn’t a problem)! I’m intending on going to Texas Furry Fiesta! Fingers crossed I don’t have any horror stories to tell!😅
my favorite con memory. Was probably either when i got trapped in an elevator at TFF 2022 for like an hour and a half, half and the call button didn’t work. That same convention the fire alarm went off twice in the middle of the night. Or at TFF 2023 where I found not one, but two used diapers in the stairwell.
That bagel guy overreacted to Beagle hardcore. I mean, yeah, random pranks are annoying, but he sounds super insecure, like the bagel threatened his manhood.
I'm very new to the fandom. I was wearing my first ever fursuit at Liverpool in May (Salem the cat coz the sabrina cast were there). Not knowing much about making fursuits I made a 2 piece suit. Trousers were held up with poppers (stupid I now realise). Get called up for the cosplay contest and I feel the poppers start to go but I managed to get off stage before my human ass was exposed. So while I'm trying to reattach my pants an awesome Winnie from hocus pocus steps onstage, and the hostess decides she's gonna do the spell and swap an audience member for me. Very fun, but I'd only found 1 popper so I had to run on stage, holding Salem's butt up, and stood centre stage in "wide stance" praying I wouldn't expose the inner human 🙈😂
Denfur 2021. My first ever con I asked around for any room parties because it was Saturday night. I didn't have any roommates and I was bored so I got told to go room whatever. So I show up and boom. No one told me it was a uhhhh murrsuit party? So I ended up sitting on a couch, mostly drunk, sipping on a glass of water as people all around me were getting it on. Until eventually two people showed up that I clung to for dear life and I left with them to go hang out in their room until it was time to stumble my drunk ass back to my room. Overall it was a good time
I made a beautiful realistic unicorn suit and I kept have people letting their children try to jump on my back to "ride the horsie" while I'm on high digistilts. A kid ran and jumped on my back and I fell twisted my ankle and my suit got ripped and I was too blame because quote "don't wear a horse suit around children unless you want kids trying to jump on to ride" even though it was the parents letting their kids jump on a random strangers back that obviously didn't want kids on me.
My homemade fursuit has so many zippers and intricate elements I think I'm the only one who can figure out how to put it on, so I don't think stealing will be a problem XD (But never say never though o_o)
🦊👍🥰👍🦊 I don’t own a fursuit 😭😭😭 but I used to do Star Wars costuming for events as part of a group to raise money for charities. My costume was very expensive and I used to get a lot of stalkers that would follow me back to the break room and just sit and wait until I would re emerge then continue following me. I just boiled it down to shyness, but at the times it happened it felt quite creepy. The other issue was when you had some people that just couldn’t keep their hands to themselves, really I could have had them done for sexual harassment but I never did as I didn’t want to cause a scene at a charity event with sick kids and that around if you know what I mean.
Alright, so, no bagels stuck on doors, gotcha. But what about other baked goods? There's a pretty big range of them out there, are biscuits okay? And Jaffa cakes are in that eternal grey area...
So a few years back I went to my first convention (which has since been disbanded). At the time I didn’t have a suit, but I had a tail and ears. I wore a light dress due to the heat and put the tail under the dress. But this one guy also not in suit kept harassing me. Calling me names like ‘fox whore’ and other I would rather not say, he kept asking me if the tail was a butt plug-which it wasn’t. Thankfully I could see his face and report him to the authority’s. Now this already seems like a horror story in its self, but the worst part was I was only 17 at the time.
Similar to the bagel story; Im obsessed with crumpets so everyone calls me crumpet XDD thats why my dino mask has butter on its head ( no, not real butter -,- )
No you really don't want to hear all the craZy horror stories on a public TH-cam comment section! ... but if you make a channel on your discord I might share some there! 😁
At least at LEAST the guy didn't run off with the suit and came back with it, I mean it's not okay, but jesus imagine how scary it would've been if he just took it and ran
om my f**king god, that blue wolf, the fourth guy, oh my god his fursuit is so scary, the mouth is eneven and its its its just terrifying, what the hell
I dont have a furry con horror story but I do have a con horror story. So I was extremely young at the time, I think I was 6 or 7, when my freinds mom took my freind and I to comic con. I did not have a costume like my freind and her mom becase I was told I was able to go last minute. My freind and I broke off from her mom to go look at the artist in the dealers den (I think thats what it is called) when I noticed someone in a Deadpool shirt just kinda starting at us. My freind was a year younger then me and was wearing a pretty revealing Harly Quinn costume. I took off my jacket pit it around her shoulders and guided her away to try and find her mom. As we were walking around all the other booths I noticed he was following us. I freaked out and my freind was so confused why I was in a hurry to leave when I was the one who wanted to check out all the artist in the first place. I got on one knee and she jumped onto my back. This is something we do a lot becase we are weird. I ran off but noticed he was jogging to try and keep up with us. I noticed a couple dressed as Zelda and link and screamed "mom, dad, im so glad I found you. You were there one second gone the next" my freind was so confused becase we didn't know these people. I told them what was happening and they helped us find my freidns mom and even reported said man to con staff. This scared me so badly I refused to go to cons for years. I'm turning 16 soon and I'm going to my first con since the incident. Kinda excited but also really scared.

so basically saved by the bell.
OOF THAT IS SCARY!
I keep notice that many con stories are people having trouble meeting up with people.
@@Voreoptera well, yeah, it's so easy to miss on someone who you've probably never seen in person, lol. Also there can be pretty tight agendas either sides. But it's all worth it in the end. I had a sincere blast. Can't wait to go to one con as attendant! :D
I just noticed that Beagle have pocari roo shirt
Wow i Never get so many likes
why is 29 so many

The stalker/clinger-on thing happened to me and my friends too. Some people just have no radar for when they are no longer wanted around. It was to the point where one of my friend had met a guy he thought was cute and was retreating to his room for.. y'know, privacy... and the guy FOLLOWED THEM TO THE ROOM and didn't undrstand that his presence at that time was REALLY not needed.
yeah lots of emo people just don't have a lot of common sense, maybe it's their first con. But just be polite and kick them out, or rather stop them at the door before they follow you in!
I always look both ways before entering my room in or out of fursuit! (especially in fursuit)

Partly a big reason personal hygiene, making sure furs eat properly at con, and other such things are necessary to be constantly reminded at cons. Of course, part of that is also just because a lot of newcomers show up each year, many younger furs, and they don't understand the need to make sure you feed yourself regularly, stay clean not just for your own safety and welfare, but for others, and to rest yourself, regardless of what parts of con you may be missing.

Things like the NJ/DE new years furry ball started out as literally 20-odd people at someone's home, and later moved to a hotel and got bigger.. MUCH bigger. Anthrocon I understand started similarly. It's a LOT easier to meet and spend time with other people, friends you don't see often because distance, or otherwise hang out, when there aren't a million panels, events, and other such things going on.

Stealing a fursuit is like stealing someone's identity.
Don't do it or you'll get kicked.
I just came from Beta telling his own con story about being stalked.
I also didn't expect Kona and October.
You can never experience a horror con story if you've never been to a con(lol :'v) Daaaamn sis, that's some crazy sh*t you've been through. This one story you told us was the one you guys told along with chip in the other animated vid? always interesting to hear from others whether good or bad. Since I've yet to attend one, i take it pretty educational (besides obvious behaviour etiquette and basic manners). Like this storytimes, Ash.
PS: I'd feel blessed if Beagle or you show up to put a bagel on my room door lol.
Yeah furry cons can be wild weird places
eeeeeeeeezy beer
I guess the biggest problem this gives me is, how safe is a Furry convection. For someone who only started getting in to Furry's at the start of 2020. I thought most of the time they were fine, and when something does go wrong it is usaly one person doing it.
@@Voreoptera The main problem is you're allowed to be in a costume that completely obscures your identity
Speaking of furry. Don't summon Bluey at 3am .
what that furry disney channel jr show for kids XD
@@HonkerzGang Thats right.
@@sabertooth3studioshq838 ah ok
@@HonkerzGang yep.
Why what would happen?
I think my nightmare would be having diarrhea...
in suit 😱😱😱
That sounds truly horrifying
Ok I am interested in your story.
In my opinion stealing fursuits is considered theft. If it was allowed if someone stole my fursuit I'd have them put in handcuffs or I would lock my fursuit in the closet inside the room
ITS FURSUIT WEATHER, I CAN STOP DYING IN THE HEAT
Also please tell me that wasn’t red wine.... otherwise I can garentee you that fox probably threw some hands
That bagel story was a roller coaster of emotions that I did not expect.
My first con will be this coming May, and I've always figured this from certain videos I've watched:
1. Don't be a dumbass
2. Shower, eat, and sleep like a normal person
3. Basic courtesy and respect can go a long way
4. When in doubt, ask.
Beagle is a treasure to the fandom. We must all protecc Beagle!! 🐾🐾
ash: i can't believe it is October already!
me: wot. it has been October for a while.
October started 16 years ago,remember 2020 has been long as f**k.
Time is relative.
@@Voreoptera Time Is An Insult
I can't express how funny the bagel was omg-
Never forget the time I entered a fursuit dance competition without eating and threw up blood after from destroying my stomach lining
WTF???
Whoa, that's horrifying
YIKES
oh shit hope youre okay!
Sounds like you have more problems than just not eating and being active if you threw up blood jesus
Ugg it wasn't at a con but one halloween my steap sister and her friends raided my room on halloween. My step sis and her "friends" took my two fursuits, my professional an *exspencive* costume/cosplay makeup and some of my SCA garb, dressed up and went off to some halloween party in the shadey part of town. I had been in the next town over with my friend on a huge zombie walk Halloween day event. After the walk we met some horror enthusiasts who invited us last minute to a live play of Rocky Horror Picture Show party event that night. An prepping for that nights play my an my friend found we didn't have enough makeup to pull off the full "hooker look" we were going for so we decided to go back home to grab my makeup kit an some more costume bits. But I came back to find my room COMPLEATLY ransacked. I had a panic attack from hell as there was easily 3k worth of costumes, makeup & jewelry all missing. Thankfully at the end of Iit all my steap sister and her gang came home at like 6am to me and my *seething* parents. I got most of the exspencive things taken back but I was still a wreck and I missed the show. Needless to say... my room has a super lock an my steap sister was grounded for a year an all her friends banned from our house. 😒😤 Lock you stuff up kids, never know when a gaggle of drugged up young adults will ransack your room.
Every time I heard, "WUT?" I laughed till I couldn't breathe lol
I am a service dog handler and at my first convention in 2020 the ADA advocate for that particular furcon also had a service dog. I was very excited that they had a whole segment in the opening ceremonies about how to respect service dogs what they do for people and to just ignore them and pretend they don't exist. A few hours later as I was rolling around the dealer's den, we crossed paths with the Ada advocate and her dog, and her dog lunged and snarled teeth gnashing at my service dog. My dog handled it very well and just looked at her dog funny, and she was very apologetic which I appreciate it but at the same time it was very stressful and kind of put me off of conventions for a few years honestly
I just noticed that some of these stories are "Things You Shouldn't Do In Furry Cons" 😓
HV comic con2018 there was this guy hiting on me i don't think he knew i was straight and he told me about his Friend who's in to furrys
ok so 2017 i went to Texas furry fiesta in Dallas, TX. With my cousin we went to our rooms a hung out for about 30 minutes and then we went to go walk around. i didn't feel like putting my suit on that day so i just walked around with my head feet paws and tail their was some kids running around following us so me and my cousin didn't think anything suspicious yet. well we get back to our room and we were going to go to sleep for the night and i heard a knock so i woke my cousin Mariah up and i said who would be knocking on the door at 2:30 in the morning she said i bet its those kids. So she got up and checked. She told me no one was there well it happened again and we caught the kids and they stopped we said where's your parents they said we are not telling you and they ran down the hall. So we went back into the room. Got up the next day and i put my whole suit on that day and the kids were outside of our door so we tried to ignore them we walked around and did not see the kids so we thought they maybe were gone for the day so i started to sweat after about two hours and we went back to our room i took my suit off and so did she and we went back out with nothing on we got back and our door was cracked and i was like you cant get in there without the card unless we accidently left it cracked we got in there and first thing i noticed was that my suit was gone so i started looking for it and i was freaking out so after ten minutes of looking i want out there to see if i could find it and i saw the 13 year old kids play with my hand paws so i said to them where are your parents or im telling the convention staff they said fine and they showed me the room where their parents were and i knocked on the door they answered and they said what do you want i said can you keep a better i on your kids and they were messing with my fur suit. They replied with no i said ok i need my suit they said no and started yelling at their kids saying why did you tell them we were here. So i went to the front desk and told them what happen and they went into their room and found my fur suit in their bags. i was so mad but i am very thankful that i got it back.
My friend her cousin and I were at a con I forgot the name but we got lost and 3 people started following us I had my old fur head on and thay would not stop following us the whole con for 4 days the last day me and my friend went home we had to drive 2 days because thay were following us in another car my friends cousin told us one of them gave her there number I called them and asked why thay were following us thay said that there friend loved my furrsuit head and wanted to take a picture with us but thay were to nervous
Fursuits don’t just walk away
Protogens: well imma go get some batteries
Not a furry con or a fursuiting story but a horrible furry experience.
I remember when my niece allowed me to wear my wolf tail and ears somewhere with her. It was a skating rink. I had a tail I made and Pawstar ears to match it. Someone pulled my tail and I just turned around look so upset about it. I continued to go on like nothing happened.
They could've broke my handmade tail I spent 2 days on with barely any sleep to make but I'm glad they didn't.
My oldest brother and his wife was there with us and someone ended up throwing a plastic water bottle at my brother's wife.
There was this person who howled like a wolf quietly as I passed by them too..
I was upset about it but ignored it the whole time.
It was this one group of friends and they were later kicked out and temporarily banned for a month.
They were being very rude to me and my family just because I wore a black wolf tail and wolf ears to a skating rink.
They didn't even know what a furry was and probably never saw something like this before.
And Bagel never looked at a bagel quite the same way again. I'm glad he was able to receive emergency hug rations in the field.
*“Me being drunk and very homosexual-“*
Next vid can you make a vid about furry enemies like Iam not saying that I hate furries but I have one so plies
Nice suit I love it
First story made me cry along with them. Ugh... I scary. And oh gosh. having a fursuit taken away by someone. OH GOSH no! These are terrifyingly educational stories. and I thank you for sharing them.
Who the hell gets pissed off on a Bagel on their doorknob?!
Ash~kun.......you uploaded this on my birthday TwT
A lot of the comments in this episode is why I try to get a room just to myself at cons. I used to snore really badly (its gotten better) so have kept roommates up at cons before. Or worse, flipping over in my sleep and waking up with my hand on the other person (usually in a bad spot for it to be). Plus I want the alone time in the room at night and sometimes during the day as a break. I am never comfortable with others in the room even if I know then well.
Oh my god, I'm subscribed to like half the people in this video! 😆😂
Also wow, that story with Beagle was crazy, but also kinda cute.
Halloween trick or treating is canceled I wonder what furries gonna do this time of year
But me and family still gonna have a party so what ya gonna do this canceled Halloween
Usually we have parties too!
@@AshCoyote that's nice 👌
Even though where I live everything activities parties ect.... for this year is banned we're still going to have one
Fun and interesting video on these horror stories lol but this videos definitely a guide on (not) ruining the con for everybody. Do not do these things people do in these stories!!!
What do I comment? comment below..a
Happy Spooky month 🎃💀👻😈 and thanks for sharing the stories 🤣😎 best wishes with everything UWU
would you like a bagel?
My worst Con story is that.......i've never been at FurryCon yet.
THE END 😜😝.
Scary

I have my fursona as pfp in my school account
I aspire to have your courage
Wish i had the courage to do that. I don't even know if I can change my school account profile pic.
SHE TEASED US WITH HERO!!! OMG LMAO
You said a idiom
I was on the gamer side during the war. As a spy for the Soviets. But i love the costume.
I have a furry con horror story but it’s severely inappropriate.. Involving two creepy guys.. so instead I’ll just talk about the time I saw a fursuit that I recognized. I went up to the suiter and said hey (their name here) and they laughed at me. I later on found out that they had bought the suit and changed the design slightly. It wasn’t really scary, but it was EMBARRASSING.
The fucking bagle. Why would you fight over that ? It must have been a really stressful day or something, that's just funny xD
I’ve never been to a furry convention, but I’m hoping to have my first in 2021 (if covid still isn’t a problem)! I’m intending on going to Texas Furry Fiesta! Fingers crossed I don’t have any horror stories to tell!😅
my favorite con memory. Was probably either when i got trapped in an elevator at TFF 2022 for like an hour and a half, half and the call button didn’t work. That same convention the fire alarm went off twice in the middle of the night. Or at TFF 2023 where I found not one, but two used diapers in the stairwell.
Yes.
Definitely.
Leaves changing and colder temperatures.
(Said the Floridian with trees as green as money, and temperatures in the 80s)
That bagel guy overreacted to Beagle hardcore. I mean, yeah, random pranks are annoying, but he sounds super insecure, like the bagel threatened his manhood.
" BECH , THIS SHET WAS DOCUMENTED "
I laughed way harder than I should have when they said that XD
I just realized beagle is Wearing a Pocari roo shirt and I love that
Im so exited about the spooky month
are you?
Yasssssss it's secretly my favorite season
@@AshCoyote Yasssssss!
Uooooooou so cool
I'm very new to the fandom. I was wearing my first ever fursuit at Liverpool in May (Salem the cat coz the sabrina cast were there). Not knowing much about making fursuits I made a 2 piece suit. Trousers were held up with poppers (stupid I now realise).
Get called up for the cosplay contest and I feel the poppers start to go but I managed to get off stage before my human ass was exposed. So while I'm trying to reattach my pants an awesome Winnie from hocus pocus steps onstage, and the hostess decides she's gonna do the spell and swap an audience member for me. Very fun, but I'd only found 1 popper so I had to run on stage, holding Salem's butt up, and stood centre stage in "wide stance" praying I wouldn't expose the inner human 🙈😂
Hi Ash Coyote. Are you excited for Halloween today? I’m not because I’m really scared.
Denfur 2021. My first ever con I asked around for any room parties because it was Saturday night. I didn't have any roommates and I was bored so I got told to go room whatever. So I show up and boom. No one told me it was a uhhhh murrsuit party? So I ended up sitting on a couch, mostly drunk, sipping on a glass of water as people all around me were getting it on. Until eventually two people showed up that I clung to for dear life and I left with them to go hang out in their room until it was time to stumble my drunk ass back to my room. Overall it was a good time
Honestly I think you shouldn’t have messed with people’s door handles to begin with, you really could break it
I made a beautiful realistic unicorn suit and I kept have people letting their children try to jump on my back to "ride the horsie" while I'm on high digistilts. A kid ran and jumped on my back and I fell twisted my ankle and my suit got ripped and I was too blame because quote "don't wear a horse suit around children unless you want kids trying to jump on to ride" even though it was the parents letting their kids jump on a random strangers back that obviously didn't want kids on me.
My homemade fursuit has so many zippers and intricate elements I think I'm the only one who can figure out how to put it on, so I don't think stealing will be a problem XD (But never say never though o_o)
fun fact!
it's only two more months of 2020
🦊👍🥰👍🦊 I don’t own a fursuit 😭😭😭 but I used to do Star Wars costuming for events as part of a group to raise money for charities. My costume was very expensive and I used to get a lot of stalkers that would follow me back to the break room and just sit and wait until I would re emerge then continue following me. I just boiled it down to shyness, but at the times it happened it felt quite creepy. The other issue was when you had some people that just couldn’t keep their hands to themselves, really I could have had them done for sexual harassment but I never did as I didn’t want to cause a scene at a charity event with sick kids and that around if you know what I mean.
Alright, so, no bagels stuck on doors, gotcha. But what about other baked goods? There's a pretty big range of them out there, are biscuits okay? And Jaffa cakes are in that eternal grey area...
So a few years back I went to my first convention (which has since been disbanded). At the time I didn’t have a suit, but I had a tail and ears. I wore a light dress due to the heat and put the tail under the dress. But this one guy also not in suit kept harassing me. Calling me names like ‘fox whore’ and other I would rather not say, he kept asking me if the tail was a butt plug-which it wasn’t. Thankfully I could see his face and report him to the authority’s.
Now this already seems like a horror story in its self, but the worst part was I was only 17 at the time.
Similar to the bagel story;
Im obsessed with crumpets so everyone calls me crumpet XDD thats why my dino mask has butter on its head ( no, not real butter -,- )
(10:56) Okay, that guy's suit is AMAZING
It's not your fault that guy reacted that way. He failed to manage his emotions and needed a chill pill.
if someone put a bagel on my rooms doorknob id laugh XD i wont report anyone id be just like ''huh,free bagels :P ''
No you really don't want to hear all the craZy horror stories on a public TH-cam comment section! ... but if you make a channel on your discord I might share some there! 😁
Honestly I didn't realize that furries mostly room together at Cons but I guess that makes sense I mean less ridicule
Me:*has sleep paralysis*
TH-cam:u wanna get spooked at 1.00am:D
To quote Sonic from AOSTH "That's no good!"
Heart my comment plz.
🥺
At least at LEAST the guy didn't run off with the suit and came back with it, I mean it's not okay, but jesus imagine how scary it would've been if he just took it and ran
om my f**king god, that blue wolf, the fourth guy, oh my god his fursuit is so scary, the mouth is eneven and its its its just terrifying, what the hell
Gonna nourish myself with nothing but bagels during my next con for Beagle in red's honor.
Chow time! :3
OMG HERO! I just watched a documentary about you!
Does anyone know who te timber wolf loking one with the tory about anthro weekend utah 2018 is? i need to know who made that fursuit it's magestic
Did anybody else just fucking feel the bagel guy?! Like seriously I felt that XD
I could tell you what happen to me last cfz. but I'm too scared to say. its one of those things you will never want to happen.
I dont have a furry con horror story but I do have a con horror story. So I was extremely young at the time, I think I was 6 or 7, when my freinds mom took my freind and I to comic con. I did not have a costume like my freind and her mom becase I was told I was able to go last minute. My freind and I broke off from her mom to go look at the artist in the dealers den (I think thats what it is called) when I noticed someone in a Deadpool shirt just kinda starting at us. My freind was a year younger then me and was wearing a pretty revealing Harly Quinn costume. I took off my jacket pit it around her shoulders and guided her away to try and find her mom. As we were walking around all the other booths I noticed he was following us. I freaked out and my freind was so confused why I was in a hurry to leave when I was the one who wanted to check out all the artist in the first place. I got on one knee and she jumped onto my back. This is something we do a lot becase we are weird. I ran off but noticed he was jogging to try and keep up with us. I noticed a couple dressed as Zelda and link and screamed "mom, dad, im so glad I found you. You were there one second gone the next" my freind was so confused becase we didn't know these people. I told them what was happening and they helped us find my freidns mom and even reported said man to con staff. This scared me so badly I refused to go to cons for years. I'm turning 16 soon and I'm going to my first con since the incident. Kinda excited but also really scared.
In my country we dont have Halloween and Christmas but hope you have fun :1
Beagle wearing pocari shirt
What next, majira wearing a Jesse head
Wait...
