This is a really sad situation. She needs psychiatric help (I don’t mean that in a mean way). She is severely mentally ill. Unfortunately I have dealt with this growing up with my mother. She struggled with delusions. she thought that people were “spying” on her and “listening” to her through her phone, car radio, and tv. My mom was diagnosed with manic bipolar disorder and did not want to take her medicine. I just hope someone can get her to a hospital before she actually hurts herself or others. Also, you look amazing today and I’m glad you covered this !
I couldn’t agree more. This woman needs a mental health intervention. I’m shocked this has gone on for so long. Her poor children. I feel for your situation, and hope you’ve found healing. Growing up my mom suffered severe depression and I lived in fear that I’d come home from school to find that she harmed herself, because she told me and my siblings that she wanted to harm herself many times. She eventually got the help she needed and our family healed.
Every day, I’m more amazed by the Baskin Robbin’s 31 different flavors of crazy the internet has to offer. Are you bored by vanilla crazy? Don’t worry, the internet’s got you.
@livesouthernable I remember someone on Tumblr once describing it as the same feeling as when you collect a bunch of weird bugs in a jar as a kid. You look at them because they are simultaneously gross and creepy and fascinating. That's how a lot of people (me) feel about the crazoids they stumble across online. The internet is our jar, and they are our weird bugs of the day.
Sandra Bullock had a stalker break in her home while she was there alone! Thankfully, her kids were both at sleepovers that night. The 911 call she made (I think it was from her bedroom closet) was incredibly terrifying. I don’t know if it’s still out there, this was years ago so who knows? She is an Oscar winning actress but no one in the world is that good. The phone call is just horrifying to listen to. I feel sorry for anyone that has to deal with a similar situation.
Hi. Kyle’s SIL here. We’re all very aware of this but we keep it off social media cause we don’t need everyone to know about it 😂 also the baby is Ryan’s.
Yeah this makes sense to me. I'm a bit upset his face was shown and Sarah's, names weren't changed, etc. Even though this is already out there it will only make the situation worse for everyone. I don't know if Sarah has a support system but she is seriously and dangerously ill and needs help, not antagonism when she's already this unstable.
About 10 years ago a childhood friend of mine found me on Facebook. We were friends of convenience (living near each other in a rural area) in my mind but she said I was her childhood best friend. Not how I would have categorized us, but whatever. We chatted on messenger for a bit and she told me she had an amazing BF, but she didn’t really elaborate about him. A few days later I went to check her timeline and she had all these photos posted. There was a guy in them - at a super far distance. Not looking anywhere towards the camera, or waving or anything. About 20 blurry shots from an outdoor event and him so far out that he could have basically been any white man in his 20s. I couldn’t find any close shots, and definitely none of them together. The only person who had liked or commented on any of her photos was her very strange mother. Who had also just added me as a friend on Facebook. It was all too weird and I blocked both of them.
I really hope Ryan, Kyle and their loved ones are safe. They should take legal actions against her, it might be the way to have her seen by a psychiatrist. She needs help and people has to be protected from this person, especially her children. She's DANGEROUS.
1:07:06 I have a theory why a fundie community wouldn't help a male victim either. I feel like they would see it as immasculating to be a victim. Their men are suppose to be strong and in control, able to take care of anything. They are the protectors. That these young men need protecting from an unhinged, middle-aged woman might be seen as a strike against their masculinity. Even men aren't immune from the victim shaming.
This is so scary. When I was a teacher I had a student who believed we were in a secret relationship. He told me he thought I was leaving him hearts on his laptop on his work. He hid out in the bathroom in my classroom for an hour after class was over and I was gone. My coworker thought she was in the building alone until he came out. I had to call security and he was escorted off the property and went on medical leave and never came back.
Sarah: This letter screams "hide my sins" Me: Girl are we looking at the same letter? Because the one I'm looking at screams "keep my name out your fucking mouth"
I feel like someone on fundie snark somehow knew or got into contact with the original victim or their family, and it became pretty clear how awful of an experience this has been for them. I believe its part of the reason many posters on the sub prefer not to use any of her victims' names (I believe by consesus, not mod direction).
@@CCSuarezResearcher Thank you, yes (besides having covid right now). That was 10 years ago, since then I have gotten an autism diagnosis and finding/creating the accommodations I need for that have made a humongous difference (that and I am on disability so I time myself out when things start to get to me so that they don't escalate)
@@jencendiary if you've seen it, it says in the beginning that it is a real story, not that it's "based" on a real story. And both the author in interviews and Netflix have stated that it is not fiction. Hence, why I believe they might have a problem.
@@penelopeoliveira3812Fiction does not equal non-fiction. You cannot sue the creator of a work of fiction that never even disclosed who they based their WORK OF FICTION on for not following your account of your life 100%.
I'm "crazy" but can't stop saying the word. It just fits the way we use it. Language is funny that way. It really has nothing to do with mental health and psychological disorders at this point. Imo
it’s just chronically online people being chronically online, some might call me “crazy” because of my personality and mental disorders and other people can’t tell me to be offended by that or not to use it. it’s whatever
My problem is that it's so ingrained in my lexicon but not in a negative way. Like I'll say a situation is crazy but I don't use it directed at people. I recognize that it's been used against women especially and as a woman that really sucks. But definitions evolve and change especially with the internet.
Right? "Crazy" can mean so many things given context. I say "crazy" when something is amazing. Maybe that says something about my vocabulary, but it's also just colloquial.
Also a "crazy" person, (OCD for the win 😂), and I agree. I couldn't care less. Crazy has meant "unbelievable" for a while now, same with insane. Words can have more than one meaning, & language evolves.
I was the victim of someone like this but it actually created huge problems in my life professionally and why all of my social media is private. He wasn’t a fundie but they are delusional and would turn everything he did around on me (ie the police spoke to him for cyberstalking me and he’d thank them for speaking to me because he alleged online I was stalking and harassing him even though no one came to speak to me). He alleged I did a lot of really heinous things and because he somehow found a supportive environment within our religious community (which is NOT fundie) and some people believed him until he became so fixated that people realized he was crazy. My rabbi stuck up for me, but unfortunately my job didn’t want to deal with it.
@@AnnaScanlonPhD they do that. They’ll deflect and project so the victim loses credibility and create a smear campaign to accuse the victim of what they are doing so no one believes the victim. It’s very effective.
This, sadly, reminds me of when my beloved Aunt Toni believed that David Bowie was in love with her and was sending her secret messages through his songs. It ramped up to her actually having had meals with him, which I kinda believed because I was 13 at the time. Nothing good came of it and it was a tragic ending. 😿
Oh my gosh, what a beast of a video! I was captivated by every minute of it, this was so well put together; well done to you and the editors, and thank you so much for your hard work! I send so much love and many prayers and well-wishes to this lady’s victims, and quite frankly to her too. I hope that she gets the treatment and medication she needs to free her victims from her delusions.
This is horrible! I find it surprising that no one has tried to intervene, if for nothing else, to get her children out of this situation. I feel horrible for her children, the victims, and to a much smaller extent this woman. She needs actual mental health intervention. Genuinely shocked that there is no one in her life that recognizes she is not well and needs professional help. Thanks for covering this!
I truly love Chelsea’s content but this one kind of has me confused. She’s clearly very mentally ill and a lot of times religion plays a major role in illnesses with delusions. I know it can’t be her intent to just shit on someone with severe issues, but I don’t see the purpose here. I could have missed it, truly but this feels a little gross to me.
her note that she posted from her son made me tear up. my mom abused me my whole life and made me out to be the reason my life was so hard (we found out behavioral problems were a mix of cptsd and bipolar in 2022) and i used to write letters exactly like that to her after fights. she still has hundreds of them. i guarantee you those are words shes made him believe by repeating them over and over.
I'm so sorry you went through that! 💔 You make a very good point about the letter. I also couldn't help but wonder if she wrote the letter herself and posted it. She might have even written it and convinced herself that her son wrote it.
@@CCSuarezResearcheror if she made him write those things. Or he knows that’s what he needs to write to make her settle down. Hopefully he’s not believing what she says to him. What a terrible mother.
This was a wild ride. Had me flashing back to a time when a friend started falling into a similar delusion. Not erotomania, just a belief that a powerful secret society was sending them messages via the personals ads of our local paper. The longer the delusion went on the less functional the person got, until a bunch of us got together to stage an intervention…😢 Stay safe covering this.
I'm sorry that happened to your friend, and glad they had enough good people around them to intervene. I hope it helped - I am curious to know if anyone in this deluded state can be persuaded to seek help, or if they have to be "section 7'd" or something similar (which may help short-term, but won't create the desire to do the work to stay well if it's not there to start with). I know a lot of people with delusions are scared by them and do want help. But not everyone does, unfortunately. I hope your friend got medical help and is staying on their meds.
@@randl7423 I honestly don’t know. This was a bunch of years ago, and I don’t know if they fully escaped their delusions or not. We did the intervention because the person wasn’t far gone enough to do what you’re calling a “section”. Here it’s a “5150” - “danger to self or others”. As Chelsea pointed out there’s not much that can be done without the person’s consent unless the danger is readily apparent.
This woman is a threat to the people she obsesses over. I can't begin to imagine how terrified her victims are. This woman created a fake life story around them and is practically threatening them with 'God's hand of justice'- which I get isn't explicitly stated by her, but the meaning of some of her words is clear. This woman is terrifying.
The whole situation is terrifying! The fact that no one has intervened both makes sense and is incredibly sad. With treatment, in my opinion, her life could be so much more successful.
I honestly feel really sorry for her, because she is torturing herself for no reason, and also because there's obviously no one in her life to help her. But i feel worse for her kids, being raised by someone completely out of touch with reality must be terrifying.
I do wonder how much of her psychosis could benefit from being less isolated. It seems like she only has interactions online through her blog. Idk if she’s found a new church or not but isolation makes it to where there’s never anyone else providing other modes of thought and so her personal beliefs become more extreme and starts spiraling. Like it seems like she was creepy and focused when she was part of her church and then it got worse once she was kicked out.
Wow, it’s very upsetting that no one has intervened. This woman deserves to get the help she so obviously needs, and the people she’s stalking deserve to be safe. I do feel very bad for her. These are obviously delusions (in the mental health sense, not the “common” usage), and this behavior is not “her”, but whatever disorder she has. The system has truly failed this woman and all her victims.
It is heartbreaking. I feel bad that no one has successfully been able to help Sarah get treatment and I feel ever worse for her victims. I can't even imagine what her children, who in my opinion, are also victims, experienced growing up in her household. 💔
This is a problem I have with manifesting communities, for example… what happens when someone like this gets their hands on videos feeding them this stuff?
@@gracequalls9770 probably drive 2022? Whenever she was first posted about it on Reddit. I even have her blog posts bookmarked lol I always thought it was mad no one was covering her
The problem with fundie churches is that they don't care about the people and dumped her rather than dealing with her mental health and getting her treatment to protect her and the poor kids. Dealing with it properly would have saved alot of hurt, pain and utter fear and horror these poor people went through.
Edited: "Everyone in Idaho is required to report child abuse, neglect or abandonment. This includes doctors, hospital residents, therapists, interns, nurses, coroners, school teachers, daycare providers, social workers, relatives, friends, and private citizens. Idaho has only one exception for mandatory reporting for a “duly ordained minister of religion.” -Source One Not only was a pastor (member of the clergy) made aware of her predatory behavior, it also appears (a) church elder/s and church members also knew. Now, someone could have reported it and the records could be sealed, but it sure doesn't appear, in my opinion, that anyone called CPS/DSS on any of the victims behalf or on the behalf of Sarah's children.

They also have a responsibility to protect their congregations as well. So having her stay in the congregation hoping she will get better might put more people at risk. Its a tough decision and I can’t say that I wouldn’t have made the same choice they did.
The law is so far behind as far as stalking goes. Its awful. My psycho ex stalked me and the police dont care, but even when they do care, there isnt much they can do about it. It sucks and its scary. I feel terrible for Kyle
The cops in the US are there to protect property, not people. Sadly this is the system working as designed. It's a bad system and it needs to be rebuilt from a different ethos so people are protected first and foremost.
What is truly scary about this is just how LONG this has been going on and keeps getting worse and worse, adding more people to the roster.... I feel for Kyle, his brother, his friends and their families... Bc this is one unhinged, delulu human ive heard of in awhile .... Scary unhinged and delulu .. Great deep dive beautiful!!!❤🌶️👑
I tend to hate the words crazy and insane because I have osdd and people think I'm crazy. I use crazy and insane pretty sparingly but like damn this woman is insane.
I'm going to be honest, I am so used to people on the internet misusing psych terms that when you claimed this woman was an erotomaniac I automatically assumed it was just dramatic hyperbole................ I was SO WRONG
So when I was younger (late teens early 20s) I had a couple boys in the youth group I was volunteering with get a crush on me. They are not subtle. I didn’t encourage it and was never alone with them. I didn’t totally ignore them, but I also didn’t go out of my way to talk to them. Nothing happened, and they got over the crush in due time. That’s how adults handle teens having crushes on them. I’ve seen adults model that behavior when I was a kid. The most disturbing part of all this is that Sarah believes that death is a perfectly reasonable punishment for wronging her. Then says two girls did die. I heard on Reddit that one girl died from Covid which is horrible. I think she was dating Kyle, and it was a horrible shock. Then Sarah starts blaming the death on Kyle and the girl for lying about Sarah. It’s sick. I can’t imagine how awful it would be to lose a young person you love, then have someone hijack that grief. I’m glad Sarah’s kids are old enough to leave. I hate that they had to deal with her psychosis and her blaming them for stuff happening around her house. In some photos of her office Sarah posted on her blog there were decorative letters on a bookcase K and S. Those poor kids couldn’t get away from her delusions. If only Sarah spent a fraction of her time doing something worthwhile. Years spent obsessing over a non existent relationship while her kids grew up. All that wasted time.
My dad and brother in law are pastors at a small church. My niece was stalked by one of their members. She was 17 when it started (she's now in her early/mid-20s). The stalker was in his 70s. He was completely delusional. At first it was just uncomfortable compliments at church. My dad and brother in law told him to back off. He then started claiming God ordained them to be together and my dad and brother in law were getting the way of God's will and preventing them from being together. They kicked him out of the church. He started coming to her workplace, so they filed a restraining order. He went quiet for a few years, and then started trying to find/contact her again last year--after she was married with a baby--still saying they were meant to be together. So they went to the police to report he had violated the RO, and now he's in jail (last I heard)
I had a classmate in college with this disorder. Her delusion involved one of our professors, who eventually became aware of the situation. It all kind of exploded when she claimed they were expecting and that she had miscarried. She would also pretend to faint in the middle of every midterm. But she was also the most talented singer, charismatic, fun girl. I hope she is doing better.
This reminds me of Travis Reinking. He believed that Taylor Swift was stalking him. He recorded videos around his house of things he thought had been moved since he left previously. He ended up being more isolated and being less involved with his family, though still allowed access to all of his father's guns. He ended up shooting people at a Waffle House because "God commanded him". He was arrested and eventually sentenced to life in prison. His father got 18 months for letting him have guns.
I mean if someone is actively terrorizing and traumatizing entire families for almost a decade I don’t care if calling them “crazy” makes me ableist, much less using the word “crazy” for completely innocuous day-to-day stuff
I wanted to just correct you on the woman portrayed in Baby Reindeer being in jail. That's not true. She was never charged w/ anything in real life. Charges weren't even pursued. That was all fictional in the movie, and was the only part said to be fictional by the writer. That's partly why she's suing, bc she feels it falsely portrayed her as a convicted criminal in that way, and smeared her reputation.
This disorder is not that rare. While working in an ER years ago, a woman came in for anxiety, noting that she was having relationship with a married man that was causing her stress, but was very appropriate, well spoken and seemingly “normal.” But by the time I got out from speaking with her…her chart had arrived, and as it was the tail end of paper charts…and it was 3 inches thick, filled with notes saying she believes the US President was in love with her, sending her coded messages in his speeches, etc. I returned an asked if the person she was in a relationship was someone well known, and she calmly stated that “yes, he is (the President at the time).” We arranged follow-up, but there are not great treatments for delusions currently…no good meds, and it is difficult to impossible to talk people out of them via facts and evidence. About the best treatment is therapy to lead the person to seeing through delusion is not reality.
@@JB-cb7dx LOL! Chelsea was able to fit it in! Phew! Sarah originally posted it with no name, but said she was engaged to one of the seven, then she deleted/hid it, and then it went back up with one specific victim's name in it. So. Many. Changes.
I have a friend of a friend that has similar delusions, she was actually even sentenced to psychiatric care for stalking. She is convinced that he is in love with her and that his mother and others are keeping them apart, she thinks he is sending her telepathic messages, it's a very long very weird story. A couple of years ago I found out that a friend of mine knows the guys she's been stalking, and told me that she pretty much has ruined his life.. she has done a lot of other weird things, acussed people of really messed up things. Delusional stalkers are truly some of the scariest. (And yes, she is a conspiracy theorist that does not believe in modern medicine).
CC, PLEASE recant the victims names!!! They do not deserve to be pulled into this anymore than they already are. Please preserve their privacy! 😫 I’m surprised at you. PLEASE PLEASE EDIT THEIR NAMES OUT
WOW..I just looked her up on fb and as of June 24th she and Hunter are engaged lol. She has a 1,000 and something followers but hardly any engagement on her posts. So maybe that's why no one is reporting on this??? Anywho... Excellent video, Chelsea! Thank you for the entertainment whilst I give myself a mani/pedi. 🙏❤
I was in her face group group. If anyone questions her posts, she removes and blocks them. I was in a paid Facebook group of hers (for printables) and she has "paused" that group. But she would remove any posts that she didn't like for whatever reason.
The 4 most common types of delusions are: romantic delusions, religion-based delusions, persecutory delusions (people are after them) and delusions of being famous/exceptional. This case seems to involve all of those.
This story really scares the crap out of me. I cannot believe there are real people out there that think like this. Especially now that I’m a parent to teenagers. I am so afraid of something like this happening to someone in my family. Can you imagine someone having a complete delusional relationship with you?? Someone that you’ve never even spoken to. What do you do? So scary. Edit: wow.. just made it to the end. Her poor kids. Her son is definitely being manipulated… “Nobody else can talk to god like you can” ugh.. it really hurt my heart to see that letter from her son.
If she's never had any intervention from law enforcement after all these years, it may never happen. As long as she stays at this level - on line, no physical contact or criminally liable behavior - it seems there is nothing to be done. The victims can ask her to cease, lawyers can ask her to cease, her own family could ask her to cease, but unless she understands that she has a problem and gets real help, why would she stop? She has no idea how she's harming others with her fantasies and allegations.
This is incredibly sad. I had a friend who’s mother had been in a long term care facility for Schizophrenia, my friend has been showing symptoms for a few years, making up troubling conspiracy theories about people at her university being agents sent to kill her, writing coded messages in their lectures about her. The lack of early intervention in these situations is a serious concern but from experience, authorities of any kind can’t act until something serious happens.
I saw the video title and was like why is that name so familiar. She gets posted periodically in the fundiesnark subreddit. Excited for a fundie deep dive
I really hope she gets help. Not only do these victims need to be left alone and given time to heal, but also she herself needs to heal from this before she hurts someone. When in psychosis, or experiencing delusions and hallucinations, you cannot convince others of your truth, yet to you it IS real. Imagine being told your reality is false, especially when she has been delusional for YEARS. I hope there is a way for someone to step in.
Yikes! I deeply sympathize with her kids and victims. I grew up with a single mother with extremely delusional thinking leading to neglect and other abuse. I was able to leave at 15 when I moved in with my older sister and haven't seen her but a handful of times since. It was really rough trying to figure out how to have healthy and "normal" relationships. Even at 30, I am still learning and dealing with my own mental health issues but am thankful to have a spouse who understands and supports me. Thank God she doesn't know how to use the Internet cause who knows what would have happened! I hope her kids get the support that they need and are doing okay despite having grown up with this. Thank you for all the work you do, bringing light to this awful situation and creating an outlet for her victims if they are ready to talk.
One of the best videos you’ve ever done!! You’re so talented! Thank you for this deep dive. I genuinely fear for the safety of these young men. She’s been obsessed for years now!! I genuinely hope she gets the intervention and help she needs. She’s walking a dangerous path right now.
This was fascinating, but I really don’t think you should have used the victims’ names (even first names), and DEFINITELY not shown the one’s face. I get that it’s easier to not call people XYZ or whatever, but this is adding more trauma for these young men and their families, who have no doubt already been through hell already (no pun/disrespect intended).
4:00 de Clérambault's (CLAY-ram-bow) syndrome. The very famous case of a Latin man who believed he and Björk were in love. He mailed a “very low ph spraying device” in the mail that was intercepted by Scotland Yard while simultaneously he unalived himself on camera. His diaries disclosed that he thought he and her would reunite in heaven. Björk sent her utmost condolences to his family and a bunch of flowers for his memorial.
I honestly think snarking on this woman is ethically dubious at best. She needs help and care in order to stop causing harm. The way she speaks reminds me of a (lovely, kind, warm, in comparison) relative I had who suffered throughout their adult life with delusions as a result of schizophrenia. I don't think Sarah is capable of thinking rationally, and I truly hope someone in her life loves her enough to insist on an intervention. It is extremely alarming to hear her attributing her inner thoughts to God, but that's nothing compared to the way she speaks about death. I also wonder whether it would have been best for you to redact/change the names of the families involved in this situation since they, understandably, want to create distance from her.
I agree, although it seems to be a hot take. A very close friend of mine has an extremely schizophrenic son and watching him devolve and be so stuck in a world he can’t escape, fighting demons he physically sees, is one of the most gut wrenching and horrifying experiences. I wouldn’t wish any angle of it on anyone.
@@violetfoxx3548 thank you, I am too. I am closer to the situation than a lot of people in her life, and I still can’t fathom or even begin to imagine the pain she feels and not being able to help. It’s just truly a tragic thing
What's the term for someone that literally thinks everyone they meet that shows them basic politeness is their good friend? Is it the same thing minus the romantic component?
Definitely some kind of attachment disorder. It's not that uncommon in little kids (though obviously it's a small minority of children); ideally they grow out of it by adulthood, but obviously, some don't.
While I would LOVE to hear the guys stories... I suspect if they interact with her/the story in any way it would feed her SO much. Someone like her, you have to give NOOOO energy to. But even then it's been YEARS and she's still at this. I've only had people continue for 4 years max. I feel like she's never gonna stop...! I have SO much compassion for them. I hope they don't feel like they have to be tough because it's "just" a woman and they're men and all that shit. Anyone this obsessed is terrifying. Gender has nothing to do with it. (Kinda hope maybe they're reading comments or something.... 🙈)
I've always found these kinds of stories fascinating. While I would understand if they want to stay silent and out of things, I'd love to hear from these young men that are supposedly pursuing her to get their side of things. Also, that picture reveal was hilarious.
I'm only half way through and at the part where within her engagement announcement she also announces a girl's death!?!? PLZ TELL ME SHE NO LONGER HAS CUSTODY OF HER KIDS!!! SHE IS ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS!!!
When I was growing up one of our neighbors planned a whole ass wedding invited everyone etc and he never showed up cause he had no idea who she was, it was crazy. Them she got arrested for stalking. This is giving those vibes

This is a really sad situation. She needs psychiatric help (I don’t mean that in a mean way). She is severely mentally ill. Unfortunately I have dealt with this growing up with my mother. She struggled with delusions. she thought that people were “spying” on her and “listening” to her through her phone, car radio, and tv. My mom was diagnosed with manic bipolar disorder and did not want to take her medicine. I just hope someone can get her to a hospital before she actually hurts herself or others. Also, you look amazing today and I’m glad you covered this !
I couldn’t agree more. This woman needs a mental health intervention. I’m shocked this has gone on for so long. Her poor children. I feel for your situation, and hope you’ve found healing. Growing up my mom suffered severe depression and I lived in fear that I’d come home from school to find that she harmed herself, because she told me and my siblings that she wanted to harm herself many times. She eventually got the help she needed and our family healed.
I agree completely. I don't love that CC pokes fun at Sarah's condition when Sarah very clearly is suffering.

Sandra Bullock had a stalker break in her home while she was there alone! Thankfully, her kids were both at sleepovers that night.

An hour in and I am terrified for Kyle and his family.
Same. From start to finish.
About 10 years ago a childhood friend of mine found me on Facebook. We were friends of convenience (living near each other in a rural area) in my mind but she said I was her childhood best friend. Not how I would have categorized us, but whatever. We chatted on messenger for a bit and she told me she had an amazing BF, but she didn’t really elaborate about him.
A few days later I went to check her timeline and she had all these photos posted. There was a guy in them - at a super far distance. Not looking anywhere towards the camera, or waving or anything. About 20 blurry shots from an outdoor event and him so far out that he could have basically been any white man in his 20s.
I couldn’t find any close shots, and definitely none of them together. The only person who had liked or commented on any of her photos was her very strange mother. Who had also just added me as a friend on Facebook.
It was all too weird and I blocked both of them.
Glad you're safe!
That's so weird.
Omg 😬
I really hope Ryan, Kyle and their loved ones are safe. They should take legal actions against her, it might be the way to have her seen by a psychiatrist. She needs help and people has to be protected from this person, especially her children. She's DANGEROUS.
its very rare. that someone truly frightens, this woman is straight up nightmare fuel.
I’ve had two stalkers in my life and the thought of this thinking is truly terrifying.
“Watch out Sarah, it’s me in your toaster” 🤣🤣
1:07:06 I have a theory why a fundie community wouldn't help a male victim either. I feel like they would see it as immasculating to be a victim. Their men are suppose to be strong and in control, able to take care of anything. They are the protectors. That these young men need protecting from an unhinged, middle-aged woman might be seen as a strike against their masculinity. Even men aren't immune from the victim shaming.
That's a very interesting point!

But, but, but! How could that be?!?!? That worldly music is wRECKLESS! Ha ha ha! *turns up the volume while blasting Chappell Roan*
This is so scary. When I was a teacher I had a student who believed we were in a secret relationship. He told me he thought I was leaving him hearts on his laptop on his work. He hid out in the bathroom in my classroom for an hour after class was over and I was gone. My coworker thought she was in the building alone until he came out. I had to call security and he was escorted off the property and went on medical leave and never came back.
Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry you experienced that! ❤
Sarah: This letter screams "hide my sins"
Me: Girl are we looking at the same letter? Because the one I'm looking at screams "keep my name out your fucking mouth"
I am inside of her air fryer though and burned those tater tots on purpose
Burnt tots = propsoal
I feel like someone on fundie snark somehow knew or got into contact with the original victim or their family, and it became pretty clear how awful of an experience this has been for them. I believe its part of the reason many posters on the sub prefer not to use any of her victims' names (I believe by consesus, not mod direction).
I have been in a psych ward with someone who thought they were the archangel Gabriel (drug induced psychosis) and she made more sense that this lady.
Hope you are healthy and doing well now! ❤
@@CCSuarezResearcher Thank you, yes (besides having covid right now). That was 10 years ago, since then I have gotten an autism diagnosis and finding/creating the accommodations I need for that have made a humongous difference (that and I am on disability so I time myself out when things start to get to me so that they don't escalate)
Just fyi, the real Martha from baby reindeer claims she never went to prison. It’s one of the points she’s suing about.
Yeap, there are no records of her being arrested. Netflix screwed up on that 🤷♀️
That's irrelevant, because Baby Reindeer isn't a biopic, it's a fictional narrative.
@@jencendiary if you've seen it, it says in the beginning that it is a real story, not that it's "based" on a real story. And both the author in interviews and Netflix have stated that it is not fiction. Hence, why I believe they might have a problem.

I'm "crazy" but can't stop saying the word. It just fits the way we use it. Language is funny that way. It really has nothing to do with mental health and psychological disorders at this point. Imo
it’s just chronically online people being chronically online, some might call me “crazy” because of my personality and mental disorders and other people can’t tell me to be offended by that or not to use it. it’s whatever
My problem is that it's so ingrained in my lexicon but not in a negative way. Like I'll say a situation is crazy but I don't use it directed at people. I recognize that it's been used against women especially and as a woman that really sucks. But definitions evolve and change especially with the internet.
Right? "Crazy" can mean so many things given context. I say "crazy" when something is amazing. Maybe that says something about my vocabulary, but it's also just colloquial.
Also a "crazy" person, (OCD for the win 😂), and I agree. I couldn't care less. Crazy has meant "unbelievable" for a while now, same with insane. Words can have more than one meaning, & language evolves.
"Crazy" here too!!! 😂
The affliction known as erotmania, or de Clérambault's syndrome, can now also be referred to as Sarahtitus.
I was the victim of someone like this but it actually created huge problems in my life professionally and why all of my social media is private. He wasn’t a fundie but they are delusional and would turn everything he did around on me (ie the police spoke to him for cyberstalking me and he’d thank them for speaking to me because he alleged online I was stalking and harassing him even though no one came to speak to me). He alleged I did a lot of really heinous things and because he somehow found a supportive environment within our religious community (which is NOT fundie) and some people believed him until he became so fixated that people realized he was crazy. My rabbi stuck up for me, but unfortunately my job didn’t want to deal with it.
@@AnnaScanlonPhD they do that. They’ll deflect and project so the victim loses credibility and create a smear campaign to accuse the victim of what they are doing so no one believes the victim. It’s very effective.
So like is Kyle okay??? I'm an hour in but I want to skip ahead to see if he's okay.
This, sadly, reminds me of when my beloved Aunt Toni believed that David Bowie was in love with her and was sending her secret messages through his songs. It ramped up to her actually having had meals with him, which I kinda believed because I was 13 at the time. Nothing good came of it and it was a tragic ending. 😿
Aww I love him too…well not that much… but you know 😢
@@heavenj7 Yeah, I loved him too, so I get it. ♥ I guess, at the very least, my aunt's obsession was on an adult.
I'm so sorry you had to go through this experience.
@@CCSuarezResearcher Aw, thank you. I appreciate you.
Oh my gosh, what a beast of a video! I was captivated by every minute of it, this was so well put together; well done to you and the editors, and thank you so much for your hard work! I send so much love and many prayers and well-wishes to this lady’s victims, and quite frankly to her too. I hope that she gets the treatment and medication she needs to free her victims from her delusions.
This is horrible! I find it surprising that no one has tried to intervene, if for nothing else, to get her children out of this situation. I feel horrible for her children, the victims, and to a much smaller extent this woman. She needs actual mental health intervention. Genuinely shocked that there is no one in her life that recognizes she is not well and needs professional help.
Thanks for covering this!
I feel for her kids. Father is an abusive POS, mother is... this... and probably the grandparents are terrible too
@@virginiavanni8061how we know the father is an abusice pos? This woman is nuts she could be lying. This woman is in a deep psychosis
I truly love Chelsea’s content but this one kind of has me confused. She’s clearly very mentally ill and a lot of times religion plays a major role in illnesses with delusions. I know it can’t be her intent to just shit on someone with severe issues, but I don’t see the purpose here. I could have missed it, truly but this feels a little gross to me.
her note that she posted from her son made me tear up. my mom abused me my whole life and made me out to be the reason my life was so hard (we found out behavioral problems were a mix of cptsd and bipolar in 2022) and i used to write letters exactly like that to her after fights. she still has hundreds of them. i guarantee you those are words shes made him believe by repeating them over and over.
I'm so sorry you went through that! 💔 You make a very good point about the letter. I also couldn't help but wonder if she wrote the letter herself and posted it. She might have even written it and convinced herself that her son wrote it.
@@CCSuarezResearcheror if she made him write those things. Or he knows that’s what he needs to write to make her settle down. Hopefully he’s not believing what she says to him. What a terrible mother.
My jaw is dropping at this story. This woman is dangerous and if she hasn’t already (halfway thru video) she WILL hurt someone.
Scary!!😱
The situation is sad, frustrating, and terrifying!

He's a very average, sullen looking teenager 😂
Omfg I was working and didn't see it, so I looked back, thanks to your time stamp and 😂☠️☠️😂
The one of Sarah at around 22mins scared me
This was a wild ride. Had me flashing back to a time when a friend started falling into a similar delusion. Not erotomania, just a belief that a powerful secret society was sending them messages via the personals ads of our local paper. The longer the delusion went on the less functional the person got, until a bunch of us got together to stage an intervention…😢 Stay safe covering this.
I'm sorry that happened to your friend, and glad they had enough good people around them to intervene. I hope it helped - I am curious to know if anyone in this deluded state can be persuaded to seek help, or if they have to be "section 7'd" or something similar (which may help short-term, but won't create the desire to do the work to stay well if it's not there to start with). I know a lot of people with delusions are scared by them and do want help. But not everyone does, unfortunately. I hope your friend got medical help and is staying on their meds.
@@randl7423 I honestly don’t know. This was a bunch of years ago, and I don’t know if they fully escaped their delusions or not. We did the intervention because the person wasn’t far gone enough to do what you’re calling a “section”. Here it’s a “5150” - “danger to self or others”. As Chelsea pointed out there’s not much that can be done without the person’s consent unless the danger is readily apparent.

I went down the Sarah Titus rabbit hole about a year ago. So stoked to see someone cover her. She is as delulu as they come!
This woman is a threat to the people she obsesses over. I can't begin to imagine how terrified her victims are. This woman created a fake life story around them and is practically threatening them with 'God's hand of justice'- which I get isn't explicitly stated by her, but the meaning of some of her words is clear. This woman is terrifying.
The whole situation is terrifying! The fact that no one has intervened both makes sense and is incredibly sad. With treatment, in my opinion, her life could be so much more successful.
I honestly feel really sorry for her, because she is torturing herself for no reason, and also because there's obviously no one in her life to help her. But i feel worse for her kids, being raised by someone completely out of touch with reality must be terrifying.
I really worry about her children and can't even imagine what they have gone through during their time with Sarah.
Not to mention the twins whose lives may be destroyed by her.
I do wonder how much of her psychosis could benefit from being less isolated. It seems like she only has interactions online through her blog. Idk if she’s found a new church or not but isolation makes it to where there’s never anyone else providing other modes of thought and so her personal beliefs become more extreme and starts spiraling. Like it seems like she was creepy and focused when she was part of her church and then it got worse once she was kicked out.
Wow, it’s very upsetting that no one has intervened. This woman deserves to get the help she so obviously needs, and the people she’s stalking deserve to be safe. I do feel very bad for her. These are obviously delusions (in the mental health sense, not the “common” usage), and this behavior is not “her”, but whatever disorder she has. The system has truly failed this woman and all her victims.
It is heartbreaking. I feel bad that no one has successfully been able to help Sarah get treatment and I feel ever worse for her victims. I can't even imagine what her children, who in my opinion, are also victims, experienced growing up in her household. 💔
This is a problem I have with manifesting communities, for example… what happens when someone like this gets their hands on videos feeding them this stuff?
Good point!
I have been waiting for YEARS for someone to cover this person
Wait! How long have you followed her? This is absolutely wild and it's technically still going
@@gracequalls9770 probably drive 2022? Whenever she was first posted about it on Reddit. I even have her blog posts bookmarked lol I always thought it was mad no one was covering her
@@hollowbarrow Same! My face lit up when I saw this video on my sub feed
Same! Diving into this topic is a side quest I go on quite frequently. The updates Sarah posts are usually so unsettling.
The problem with fundie churches is that they don't care about the people and dumped her rather than dealing with her mental health and getting her treatment to protect her and the poor kids.
Dealing with it properly would have saved alot of hurt, pain and utter fear and horror these poor people went through.

"Everyone in Idaho is required to report child abuse, neglect or abandonment. This includes doctors, hospital residents, therapists, interns, nurses, coroners, school teachers, daycare providers, social workers, relatives, friends, and private citizens. Idaho has only one exception for mandatory reporting for a “duly ordained minister of religion.” -Source One
Not only was a pastor (member of the clergy) made aware of her predatory behavior, it also appears (a) church elder/s and church members also knew.
Now, someone could have reported it and the records could be sealed, but it sure doesn't appear, in my opinion, that anyone called CPS/DSS on any of the victims behalf or on the behalf of Sarah's children. I hope I'm wrong.

They also have a responsibility to protect their congregations as well. So having her stay in the congregation hoping she will get better might put more people at risk. Its a tough decision and I can’t say that I wouldn’t have made the same choice they did.
I agree with you however this woman doesn’t seem like she can be reasoned with. She fully believes her delusions
I can’t believe the police can’t do anything. These poor people.
The law is so far behind as far as stalking goes. Its awful. My psycho ex stalked me and the police dont care, but even when they do care, there isnt much they can do about it. It sucks and its scary. I feel terrible for Kyle
The cops in the US are there to protect property, not people. Sadly this is the system working as designed. It's a bad system and it needs to be rebuilt from a different ethos so people are protected first and foremost.
What is truly scary about this is just how LONG this has been going on and keeps getting worse and worse, adding more people to the roster.... I feel for Kyle, his brother, his friends and their families... Bc this is one unhinged, delulu human ive heard of in awhile .... Scary unhinged and delulu .. Great deep dive beautiful!!!❤🌶️👑
Right? Over a decade. The victims have been through so much! Ugh. So terrifying!
I tend to hate the words crazy and insane because I have osdd and people think I'm crazy. I use crazy and insane pretty sparingly but like damn this woman is insane.
Kyle is in her toaster, burning her toast. I don't think I'll ever buy a smart appliance again after listening to this!
I'm going to be honest, I am so used to people on the internet misusing psych terms that when you claimed this woman was an erotomaniac I automatically assumed it was just dramatic hyperbole................ I was SO WRONG
So when I was younger (late teens early 20s) I had a couple boys in the youth group I was volunteering with get a crush on me. They are not subtle. I didn’t encourage it and was never alone with them. I didn’t totally ignore them, but I also didn’t go out of my way to talk to them. Nothing happened, and they got over the crush in due time. That’s how adults handle teens having crushes on them. I’ve seen adults model that behavior when I was a kid.
The most disturbing part of all this is that Sarah believes that death is a perfectly reasonable punishment for wronging her. Then says two girls did die. I heard on Reddit that one girl died from Covid which is horrible. I think she was dating Kyle, and it was a horrible shock. Then Sarah starts blaming the death on Kyle and the girl for lying about Sarah. It’s sick. I can’t imagine how awful it would be to lose a young person you love, then have someone hijack that grief.
I’m glad Sarah’s kids are old enough to leave. I hate that they had to deal with her psychosis and her blaming them for stuff happening around her house.
In some photos of her office Sarah posted on her blog there were decorative letters on a bookcase K and S. Those poor kids couldn’t get away from her delusions.
If only Sarah spent a fraction of her time doing something worthwhile. Years spent obsessing over a non existent relationship while her kids grew up. All that wasted time.
My dad and brother in law are pastors at a small church. My niece was stalked by one of their members. She was 17 when it started (she's now in her early/mid-20s). The stalker was in his 70s. He was completely delusional. At first it was just uncomfortable compliments at church. My dad and brother in law told him to back off. He then started claiming God ordained them to be together and my dad and brother in law were getting the way of God's will and preventing them from being together. They kicked him out of the church. He started coming to her workplace, so they filed a restraining order. He went quiet for a few years, and then started trying to find/contact her again last year--after she was married with a baby--still saying they were meant to be together. So they went to the police to report he had violated the RO, and now he's in jail (last I heard)
I had a classmate in college with this disorder. Her delusion involved one of our professors, who eventually became aware of the situation. It all kind of exploded when she claimed they were expecting and that she had miscarried. She would also pretend to faint in the middle of every midterm. But she was also the most talented singer, charismatic, fun girl. I hope she is doing better.
That is so unfortunate, I hope she has gotten help as well
I've been trying to get up and clean my house for 40 minutes now and I just cannot. This is INSANE.
This reminds me of Travis Reinking. He believed that Taylor Swift was stalking him. He recorded videos around his house of things he thought had been moved since he left previously. He ended up being more isolated and being less involved with his family, though still allowed access to all of his father's guns. He ended up shooting people at a Waffle House because "God commanded him". He was arrested and eventually sentenced to life in prison. His father got 18 months for letting him have guns.
I mean if someone is actively terrorizing and traumatizing entire families for almost a decade I don’t care if calling them “crazy” makes me ableist, much less using the word “crazy” for completely innocuous day-to-day stuff
I just lost a pet, and I've been horribly depressed. I needed that outro pep talk today. ❤
"she's also claiming they have access to her toaster" is a phrase I thought I'd never hear 😂
I wanted to just correct you on the woman portrayed in Baby Reindeer being in jail. That's not true. She was never charged w/ anything in real life. Charges weren't even pursued. That was all fictional in the movie, and was the only part said to be fictional by the writer. That's partly why she's suing, bc she feels it falsely portrayed her as a convicted criminal in that way, and smeared her reputation.
This disorder is not that rare. While working in an ER years ago, a woman came in for anxiety, noting that she was having relationship with a married man that was causing her stress, but was very appropriate, well spoken and seemingly “normal.”
But by the time I got out from speaking with her…her chart had arrived, and as it was the tail end of paper charts…and it was 3 inches thick, filled with notes saying she believes the US President was in love with her, sending her coded messages in his speeches, etc.
I returned an asked if the person she was in a relationship was someone well known, and she calmly stated that “yes, he is (the President at the time).”
We arranged follow-up, but there are not great treatments for delusions currently…no good meds, and it is difficult to impossible to talk people out of them via facts and evidence. About the best treatment is therapy to lead the person to seeing through delusion is not reality.
I almost pressed “not interested “ because of the thumbnail, but immediately stopped myself when I understood that it is your video 😂❤
Oh my gosh I just fell down this rabbit hole thanks to Reddit. So excited to watch a thorough video on her!
Also, I just saw she made a new status that she's engaged to Hunter. Doubt he knows though
Aaaand I just saw your update at the end lol
@@JB-cb7dx LOL! Chelsea was able to fit it in! Phew! Sarah originally posted it with no name, but said she was engaged to one of the seven, then she deleted/hid it, and then it went back up with one specific victim's name in it. So. Many. Changes.
I have a friend of a friend that has similar delusions, she was actually even sentenced to psychiatric care for stalking. She is convinced that he is in love with her and that his mother and others are keeping them apart, she thinks he is sending her telepathic messages, it's a very long very weird story. A couple of years ago I found out that a friend of mine knows the guys she's been stalking, and told me that she pretty much has ruined his life.. she has done a lot of other weird things, acussed people of really messed up things. Delusional stalkers are truly some of the scariest. (And yes, she is a conspiracy theorist that does not believe in modern medicine).
Gosh! That's horribly sad and scary!

WOW..I just looked her up on fb and as of June 24th she and Hunter are engaged lol. She has a 1,000 and something followers but hardly any engagement on her posts. So maybe that's why no one is reporting on this??? Anywho... Excellent video, Chelsea! Thank you for the entertainment whilst I give myself a mani/pedi. 🙏❤
I was in her face group group. If anyone questions her posts, she removes and blocks them. I was in a paid Facebook group of hers (for printables) and she has "paused" that group. But she would remove any posts that she didn't like for whatever reason.
Omg I read her blog YEARS ago and was so worried for that boy. I wondered what happened to her!
The 4 most common types of delusions are: romantic delusions, religion-based delusions, persecutory delusions (people are after them) and delusions of being famous/exceptional.
This case seems to involve all of those.
This story really scares the crap out of me. I cannot believe there are real people out there that think like this. Especially now that I’m a parent to teenagers. I am so afraid of something like this happening to someone in my family. Can you imagine someone having a complete delusional relationship with you?? Someone that you’ve never even spoken to. What do you do? So scary.
Edit: wow.. just made it to the end. Her poor kids. Her son is definitely being manipulated… “Nobody else can talk to god like you can” ugh.. it really hurt my heart to see that letter from her son.

Oh dear heavens, she even posted a photo of him when she announced her (second) fake engagement! That poor kid!
Completely terrifying!
If she's never had any intervention from law enforcement after all these years, it may never happen. As long as she stays at this level - on line, no physical contact or criminally liable behavior - it seems there is nothing to be done. The victims can ask her to cease, lawyers can ask her to cease, her own family could ask her to cease, but unless she understands that she has a problem and gets real help, why would she stop? She has no idea how she's harming others with her fantasies and allegations.
This is incredibly sad. I had a friend who’s mother had been in a long term care facility for Schizophrenia, my friend has been showing symptoms for a few years, making up troubling conspiracy theories about people at her university being agents sent to kill her, writing coded messages in their lectures about her. The lack of early intervention in these situations is a serious concern but from experience, authorities of any kind can’t act until something serious happens.
I saw the video title and was like why is that name so familiar. She gets posted periodically in the fundiesnark subreddit. Excited for a fundie deep dive
I really hope she gets help. Not only do these victims need to be left alone and given time to heal, but also she herself needs to heal from this before she hurts someone. When in psychosis, or experiencing delusions and hallucinations, you cannot convince others of your truth, yet to you it IS real. Imagine being told your reality is false, especially when she has been delusional for YEARS. I hope there is a way for someone to step in.
Oh, please. Finding Fundie's would be such an awesome series. THERE ARE SO MANY!

Girl, this was a forking rollercoaster. Thank you for the hard work that went into to this. WILD
Yikes! I deeply sympathize with her kids and victims. I grew up with a single mother with extremely delusional thinking leading to neglect and other abuse. I was able to leave at 15 when I moved in with my older sister and haven't seen her but a handful of times since. It was really rough trying to figure out how to have healthy and "normal" relationships. Even at 30, I am still learning and dealing with my own mental health issues but am thankful to have a spouse who understands and supports me. Thank God she doesn't know how to use the Internet cause who knows what would have happened! I hope her kids get the support that they need and are doing okay despite having grown up with this. Thank you for all the work you do, bringing light to this awful situation and creating an outlet for her victims if they are ready to talk.
One of the best videos you’ve ever done!! You’re so talented! Thank you for this deep dive. I genuinely fear for the safety of these young men. She’s been obsessed for years now!! I genuinely hope she gets the intervention and help she needs. She’s walking a dangerous path right now.
This was fascinating, but I really don’t think you should have used the victims’ names (even first names), and DEFINITELY not shown the one’s face. I get that it’s easier to not call people XYZ or whatever, but this is adding more trauma for these young men and their families, who have no doubt already been through hell already (no pun/disrespect intended).

This is terrifying and I thought my brother thinking Google is hacking his phone was bad
Mental illness sucks. This is incredibly sad
I honestly think snarking on this woman is ethically dubious at best. She needs help and care in order to stop causing harm. The way she speaks reminds me of a (lovely, kind, warm, in comparison) relative I had who suffered throughout their adult life with delusions as a result of schizophrenia. I don't think Sarah is capable of thinking rationally, and I truly hope someone in her life loves her enough to insist on an intervention. It is extremely alarming to hear her attributing her inner thoughts to God, but that's nothing compared to the way she speaks about death.
I also wonder whether it would have been best for you to redact/change the names of the families involved in this situation since they, understandably, want to create distance from her.
I agree, although it seems to be a hot take. A very close friend of mine has an extremely schizophrenic son and watching him devolve and be so stuck in a world he can’t escape, fighting demons he physically sees, is one of the most gut wrenching and horrifying experiences. I wouldn’t wish any angle of it on anyone.

What's the term for someone that literally thinks everyone they meet that shows them basic politeness is their good friend? Is it the same thing minus the romantic component?
MLM hun?😝 Or maybe borderline personality disorder
Definitely some kind of attachment disorder. It's not that uncommon in little kids (though obviously it's a small minority of children); ideally they grow out of it by adulthood, but obviously, some don't.
Omg, thank you for doing a video on her!
Your lashes are DIVINE
We’re here for the LONG videos. We ADORE you, your content, and the bulldog 🥹♥️
While I would LOVE to hear the guys stories... I suspect if they interact with her/the story in any way it would feed her SO much. Someone like her, you have to give NOOOO energy to. But even then it's been YEARS and she's still at this.
I've only had people continue for 4 years max. I feel like she's never gonna stop...!
I have SO much compassion for them. I hope they don't feel like they have to be tough because it's "just" a woman and they're men and all that shit. Anyone this obsessed is terrifying. Gender has nothing to do with it. (Kinda hope maybe they're reading comments or something.... 🙈)
Imagine being apart of the congregation while this NOVELA was happening. 🍿👀🍿
Sometimes I wonder if maybe I'm not well adjusted. Then I watch videos like this. Wild.
I've always found these kinds of stories fascinating. While I would understand if they want to stay silent and out of things, I'd love to hear from these young men that are supposedly pursuing her to get their side of things.
Also, that picture reveal was hilarious.
around the 1:12:00 mark, the whole clothes for the husband gives Misery vibes.
Every time I’m like the story can’t get worse surprise it gets worser 😩. I love your longer, more in depth videos ❤️
Same!!! Also enjoying more content that isn’t Monet focused!!!
It's like being on an un-serviced roller coaster made in 1976.
Yes! It's like every twist and turn just leads to something equally if not more horrific! 0_0
@@calonstanni I feel this in my bones.
I'm only half way through and at the part where within her engagement announcement she also announces a girl's death!?!? PLZ TELL ME SHE NO LONGER HAS CUSTODY OF HER KIDS!!! SHE IS ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS!!!
When I was growing up one of our neighbors planned a whole ass wedding invited everyone etc and he never showed up cause he had no idea who she was, it was crazy. Them she got arrested for stalking. This is giving those vibes
