    I love how for once someone actually followed all the rules. He almost had a few slip up but he held to it and did as told. The headless cop is also the biggest MVP here with all that clean up he's constantly doing

    The moment when he said, “You’re his great grandson,” that line sent both chills but also sorts a bit heartwarming as it serves an explanation as to why the headless officer was protecting him from all costs. Just goes to show that people who are a part related in your family, always true love and care for you. And will do whatever it takes to keep you safe…even during in the afterlife.

      i just started watching these, i finished the radio station and some one said it was reference in this story, lighthouse horror replied to that and said there were references in this one to another story aswell but no one has found it. i havent watched the other videos to know what it could be. if i had to guess which part it might be, it would be the girl driving a fresh painted new car looking for her mother with flowers. It is pretty specific, like the details holds some sort of significance but was a short encounter had no follow up in this story, unless i missed something... so maybe its a character cameo.
      (looking at the other stories i havent seen yet my guess would be the school bus driver because it has kids and vehicles or it could be the "i think my town is cursed, we have strange rules after dark" one because it seems to fit right into this one.)

    Pasta theory: when the old woman puts her fingernail on the pavement, it kills the next person who crosses the booth. You're supposed to ignore cries for help because the price of the towns safety and prosperity is human sacrifice. The young woman in the shiny green truck is the same entity, amd her flowers are what blesses the town. She's not a woman at all, she's either a demon or a malevolent goddess. But due to her relatively small domain of power, I'm leaning towards demon. If James would have taken her penny, he would have ended up being the sacrifice.

    • @joelceda3500
      @joelceda3500 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Aside from the human sacrifice - I don't think any of the people passing were actually real drivers that existed in daylight too - I thought that too about the woman, but am solidly in the goddess camp. Or possibly local genius loci. Look at the Fates; the maiden, the mother, the crone. One can be sweet and horrifying, good and evil, all at once. Why should a supernatural entity be any less than what a human can be?

      People need to stop working so much. I know the American work ethic is tantamount to slavery, but the pursuit of the almighty dollar really is messing up our culture -- not to mention our children -- who are growing up feral with nothing but social media to nurture them. In all seriousness, people really need to learn how to relax and have fun again. We used to.

    Kind of irresponsible of dad, leaving his own son out there going in blind, with a list of rules that sound pretty far out there. I just think I would have my son a bit more prepared for something like this.

It was intriguing looking and sounding. So, I clicked on it. Thinking that I would just listen for a minute, that it wouldn’t be able to keep my attention. This story was AWESOME to say the least!!!!! I was on the edge the whole time. I was so tired… so so tired, but before I knew it, 17 minutes had gone by!! I loved every second of it!
