Please, everyone knows Shane’s imaginary friend is a little blue puppet with glasses and a hat.
How dare you insinuate he’s imaginary
No, it's apple tater.
Plot twist: Shane's the blue puppet's imaginary friend
THE PROFESSOR! *gasps*
So true
Lmao honestly shocked they didn't make any jokes or innuendoes when Danny pushed the Dad onto the bed and started stroking his hair lol
Oh my god literally that was so sexual
and the whimpering LMAO
lmao
No wonder he was so scared, it’s always awkward seeing your exes
Wattpad moment
okay but Ryan saying that his friend would be a big clown and Shane saying his would be a little devil is them literally just describing each other.
LMAO I chuckled at this
WAIT-
BAHHAHAHAHAH NOT YOU CALLING RYAN A CLOWN-
@@beelieboo shane is the big clown can't you read. "Describing each other" commenter said
@@bluebawls OH sorry i kind of misinterpreted it thanks for that-
always love when Shane looks like he just broke out of prison lol
Exactly what I was thinking lmao
It's 50/50 whether he looks like he just broke out of prison, or he's a college news reporter on his first case, interviewing said escapee.

shane saying his imaginary friend would be a little devil on his shoulder is so on brand for him
Ofc, he IS demon after all
*smoke cigarettes*
I think me and Shane have the same shoulder-demon
because he’s a demon
Well the man has insulted like five different demons through out his life and even invited them to eat/kill/torture him so I would say that isn't really all that surprising
It's giving Kronk from Emporers new groove
Ryan’s little giggle in the beginning was scarier than the whole story
He is so good with the creepy giggles
I clipped that giggle now i can play it on loop! HEHEHE
Omg
literally
Ryan’s creepy giggles should be a ringtone, I would for sure buy it!!!!
Ryan's story about the coat rack is basically my entire early childhood. I would give myself anxiety nightmares based on the "what if" of my furniture or toys being a monster.
I have a chair that looks like The Nun at night
@@wubbalubbadubdub2810 my mom's hand purse was red/white coloured , my eyes and brain somehow thought it was annabelle staring at me frm a corner in the dark lmao
It was clothing hanging on a hook on the bathroom door for me. Swore it was a zombie or something. I'm also super blind without my glasses, so there's that.
What was that commercial with the talking armchair and couches….
I had a closet with the loses hinges. It didn't take much for it open. My Mom gave me a mini flashlight, so every time I thought I saw something. I would shine there and see nothing. Then go back to sleep.
Mollie KILLING IT with these illustrations!
She should get an award
The illustrations of Danny were the one of the scariest things i've ever seen on this channel!
Right?! None of these would be as scary as they are without the illustrations
Makes me think of the books Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark!
"Mr. Jingles says I could take you!" I really loved that whole exchange.

...Nighttime Dan's origin story. Before he left to become a ghost DJ. I'm glad he's chilled out since then and just kinda wants to get down now.
gold comment
YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! ITS NIGHTTIME DAN!! HES BACK FOR A THIRD TIME
i'm so pleased i'm not the only one who immediately thought of our old pal nighttime dan!
OH MY GOD I FORGOT ABOUT NIGHT TIME DAN
omg nighttime dan!!!!!!
I think ‘Danny’ represents the Dad’s trauma from the abuse and neglect he received as a child from his mom. And the story is about his fear that the harm he suffered would in turn hurt his son. In short, it’s about generational trauma
makes sense, esp since the mom said "shouldn't you be heading back," since she was the reason for his childhood trauma in the first place
You’re telling me Danny waited for Narrator for over 20 years, babysat his kid frequently, pushed him against the pillows and stroked his hair and made him whimper, and this isn’t a love story about a yearning childhood friend?? You’re lying
Dang. I actually wanna read that. If yk what I mean

My imaginary friend was Robin from the Teen titans, and he was my boyfriend. I stopped talking about him one day and my mom asked where he went. I responded without missing a beat "I don't know Mommy, he went on a mission and hasn't come home yet" he never came home
Same!
Don't worry he's Nightwing now, he's doing a mission with Batman.
“He never came home” 😭
I didn't have an imaginary friend but I always fantasized that the green/white Power Ranger (Tommy) was my husband lmao I feel ya on this
I'm sorry for your loss
As a child, I was frequently sad that I hadn’t developed an imaginary friend. I thought that one day, I and only I, would see a stuffed animal like child who would speak to me and keep me company. I thought I was a bad kid and hadn’t earned one.
D'aww you poor little thing 🥺 I've also never had one and did briefly wished for like a Pokemon or some shit growing up. These days we have video games, which give you like 50 imaginary friends 🤣 no time for anything else!
@@DaniMol no joke about that. I’ve been fixating on Arthur Morgan and Charles smith from rdr2 lately
oh my god, same
ME TOO. i felt so weird cause everyone had one and i didn't😭
Dawg same, I had an "imaginary" imaginary friend because I knew I wasn't hallucinating a full-on apparition, I just had a nonexistent friend in my head, and thought I was "faking it" whereas everyone else totally *was* hallucinating corporeal forms and I was just unlucky
My imaginary friend was a flying squirrel, and I left him in Paris when we were on vacation because he seemed happier there 💀
This is too good!
I’m sorry for your loss
LMAO
THIS IS THE FUNNIEST COMMENT IVE EVER READ ACTUALLY THERES TEARS IJ MYVEYES
Awww That’s adorable
Very good episode that was actually pretty scary. I really liked the image of the emaciated imaginary friend as a symbol of actual childhood neglect.
This isn't scary.
Yes! And fear is that your trauma is going to hurt your child. Too real
omg u ate
@@marksdone not to you maybe, but to some people it is.
20:10 I don’t think Danny wants to be just imaginary friends, he wants to be imaginary lovers
I literally made a fan fic for that😅😂 since Shane wanted a gay fic
@@shadow_glitchy_cosplays 💥 💳 💥 Ayo link?
PROVE IT@@shadow_glitchy_cosplays
My imaginary friend was actually named Danny (Danni, technically, full name Daniella). Later found out that there was a male relative who tragically died named Danny. Probably good my mom didn't pay much attention to me playing pretend or she would have flipped shit, bc she's really into receiving "signs" from the beyond and def would've thought it was a ghost. I just named her that bc I liked Danny Phantom💀
As a kid, I would play alone outside for hours with not much more than my imagination. But even with that, I can't say I ever had an "imaginary friend". The concept has honestly always been weird to me because I understand the idea behind it but the moment I needed to come back to reality, everything was gone. Other people claimed their imaginary friend would always kinda be with them but never me... Odd
Same! I'd build imaginary worlds, but I always knew they were for fun. And I'd pretend I was in a point and click game, or have imaginary pets... The idea of someone constantly there creeps me out 😅
I have 4 siblings, I didn't have an imaginary friend cause I had them
Same. While I had a recurring imaginary friend that I created, she was only ever there when I actively thought about her and pictured her with me. And she was always more of a concept, rather than an actual being that I would see or have actual conversations with, or whatever.
(Her name was Jasmine, and she was a shapeshifter. She only ever took the forms of animals, though. Usually something fast, like a horse or a cheetah, so I could imagine her running playfully alongside the car on long trips. She was just sort of a vague, protective presence that was there when I needed her. ☺️)
Same. But as a kid, I thought they thought their imaginary friends were real people, like it was normal for kids to hallucinate someone lol. It was like I guess I don't have an imaginary friend 🤷🏾♀️. I didn't get that you yourself imagined them, I thought it was just something that happened to you lol.
I had fantasies and imaginations of characters, but it wasn't like I was "hanging" out with them.
Same tbh… I used to just walk around my yard or the playground or whatever and make up stories. I still make up stories, and there are a lot of characters in them that have been around for years, and that’s kind like having imaginary friends? Maybe more like reading about imaginary celebrities in imaginary tabloids but also you’re the one writing everything in the tabloids
Every time Ryan says “are you scared?”, I (someone with chronic anxiety) respond with a confident “yes”
I have severe anxiety but these don’t scare me 🤣 normal things like going outside scare me I got it the wrong way around 🤣
That’s why these stories are great. They match the unavoidable sentiment so we feel normal.
I don't typically get scared by these stories, but I think Ryan and Shane make it hard for me to get scared. I get scared of True Crime, but never when Ryan and Shane are the ones telling me.
@@Ddalgiichigo yeah I mean it’s not always the story. I’m just generally nervous most of my waking life 😌
“Always”
Apparently my imaginary friend was a tiny lion that could fit in the palm of your hand and I used to make people hold the door open for him to walk through all the time 😂😂
thats so cute omg
Adorable
Shane having a little devil on his shoulder is proof he can’t make it in life without his boss telling him what to do.
AAHAH IM DEAD 💀
Ryan's discussion about his fear of the coat rack and his thought process after figuring out what it was just a coat rack that still allowed him to be scared was exactly how I thought as a child! I feel so less alone!
Did you really think that wasn’t a thing? There’s memes on it too. It’s common. Children and adults alike.
Of course you aren't alone dummy, there's someone in the room with you.
It’s the implication that Danny possessed the narrator as a child…….and his mother knew about it, and allowed it 😱 (and who’s to say Danny didn’t also possess her in the past???? 😳😳😳😳) this was such a good episode
Danny creepily standing in the mirror….
The boys “AAYYY DANNY!! Wanna go get a beer?!”
Just what we need to take the scare edge off 😂😂😂
When I was young my imaginary friend told me he didn't want to be my friend anymore, then left and never came back.
If imaginary friends are practice for social activities, that was the most formative and preparative experience I've ever had.
Damn not even your imaginations like you 💀
Are you ok
I feel like this story is easy to poke out when read but if it were a short film it would actually be pretty creepy!
I deliberately created my imaginary friend as a kid, because it sounded like a fun thing to do. lol
Her name was Jasmine, and she was a shapeshifting animal. We never really talked, or hung out. She was always more of a vague concept, a calming presence that mostly stayed in the periphery, rather than a more physical presence that I interacted with a lot. Occasionally, I’d picture her close enough to pet, but that was pretty rare.
On long road trips, I really liked imagining her in a horse or cheetah form, playfully running alongside the car on the side of the road and gracefully jumping over fences and such along the way. 😊
Why the fuck is that "watching an imaginary thing doing parkour outside your car whilst your parents drive you around" such a bizarrely prevalent experience??
If you'd asked me at the time, I'd swear I'm the only human who would possibly do that, but like, our entire last couple generations has this shared random-ass lunatic thing that serves zero purpose and no one ever told us about
@@hogkan I did that too 😭
Okay, but did anybody else also imagine that there were little tiny people living on the shelves in the grocery store while you were out shopping with your parents?
You 🤝 Me
Watching our shape-shifting imaginary friends with traditionally feminine names run alongside the car on trips
Mine liked to run along the telephone lines
In a world where so many media friendships turn out to be fake, I really appreciate that the boys are ACTUALLY friends.❤❤❤❤
My imaginary friend as a kid was just. Slenderman. I didn't know any of the lore or anything I think I just saw like one picture of him & latched on.
I think it's because I was a very anxious kid prone to some pretty terrible nightmares, so having a scary imaginary friend was kind of comforting in a roud-about way. Whenever I was scared I would just picture him in my mind's eye & be like "Demons wont get me because Slenderman is watching over me :)" & it worked lol.
Oh my god I've never mentioned this to anyone because it was really fucked up but I also had an imaginary friend from creepypasta. It was fucking Jeff the killer. Which is arguably worse but I guess that's what happens when you have unrestricted internet access at a young age 💀
@althea3609 Omg that's amazing. Also its interesting to me in retrospect how many fanfics & stuff existed for creepypasta characters where they're friends with the reader insert character & the fic is just sort of them hanging out. I think a lot of kids latched onto creepypastas as comfort characters, but very few will admit to it now for fear of being seen as cringe.
Idk, I think it's sort of funny looking back but I don't feel bad about it. Yeah it was weird but it did help with my nightmares so hey 🤷 I can't complain.
No literally i stopped getting scared of "things in the night"/having as many nightmares when i found creepypasta cause i was just like "its ok im friends with them now, they wont hurt me and they'll protect me from anything that tries"
Omg me too, except I was kind of delulu and convinced myself that Slenderman was gonna adopt me and take me to the Creepypasta mansion. It's kind of cringe lmao, but as a kid I think I just wanted a place where everyone would accept me no matter how 'weird' I was, and who's weirder than a faceless man and his posse of serial killers 🤷🏾♀
@Cat-hz7yd Relatable honestly. Something about the old creepypasta stuff rlly made neurodivergent kids/teens go hogwild.
Like I distinctly remember there being quite a lot of fics where slenderman just adopts some random orphan or something (or like one of those 'my parents sold me to one direction' type fics except they idk abandoned them in the woods instead lmao), so I don't think you were alone in that.
Honestly, I feel bad for Danny. Imagine being best friends with someone only for them to suddenly leave you all alone and when you finally see him again he says you’re not real.
What I took away from this episode:
1. Ryan and Shane need to write and star in their own child/toy themed horror movie. It would win awards and be an instant classic.
2. Neither of you should babysit! Lol 😆
3. The things I was afraid of as a child have absolutely scarred me for life.
😅😅😅
lol number one kinda did happen when ryan got taken hostage by a knife-happy holo-puppet
I feel like "what if you were my imaginary friend" is a good premise for a scary story.
A story about a college age person who meets and becomes best friend with someone who happens to have the same name as their childhood imaginary friend. But the longer they know eachother, the more and more it seems like the friend remembers their childhood together.
I LOVE that they’re bringing back Are You Scared
Around 14:20 there's the discussion of if you'd be nervous if your kid had the same-named imaginary friend as you, and i have an answer! My mom was scared as heck, because her imaginary friend was named Mary and then so was mine.. AND so was my sister's. She had some energy or spirit cleansing done & neither me nor my sister actually remember said imaginary friend
To be fair, Mary is like, THE most common given name in the world. If it were something more unique it’d be scarier, I reckon
well, Mary is a pretty common female name, and everyone tends to forget their imaginary friend when they grow up. So i don't think it's that scary tbh
ryan showing how mr. jingles would slap his belly and point to his mouth to indicate his hunger and then shane just going “...i don’t know” killed me
I thought it was spooky. It’s like the Babadook but instead of symbolizing grief, it’s symbolizing childhood neglect. Very cool.
Who would’ve thought that Ryan’s imaginary friend was Shane all along 😮 lol 😂 😅
i technically had an “imaginary friend” but it was in the physical form of my favorite stuffed animal. I carried that stuff animal EVERYWHEREEE with me 😭 as a twin, i think i just needed someone around me at all times. i developed in the womb with someone, and was born into the world with them, so being on my own was unfamiliar territory.
The creepy "Looks like you're going nuts" put me over the edge. I can't stop laughing now
I feel bad for Danny, dude was just trying to catch up with a friend. All the dad had to do was apologize for his absence and set some boundaries for when tea parties were acceptable. THIS is no longer an "Are you scared?" It should be an "AITA?"
When Ryan said, “That’s my morning mantra”, I thought it was in response to Shane going “Oh fuck” and I was like, “You and me both, Bergara!” 😂😂😂😂
I love how Shane just sits back and smiles, while he watches his years worth of effort and planning to turn Ryan into a sarcastic, pessimist, finally unfolding in front of him. Lmao
Now they laugh together like a bunch of evil twins. I don’t think Shane understands 100% what he has created.
I remember thinking I was the weird one for not having an imaginary friend growing up.
I’m pretty sure I played pretend w my toys, but never actually made up a friend to “play with”
Same, my LPS dolls got up to some crazy shit. (involving a famed young actress’s step mother driving her off of a cliff)
Legit, the toys being "hungry" and alive has been one of my biggest fears as a kid (and I didn't even watch Toy Story)
I always would fear that they'd come for me
Same its freaky
Ryan throwing a sweet Emperor’s New Groove reference out there and Shane is just ignoring it
Okay, serious question: Did anyone think their imaginary friend was real? In TV shows kids think they are real, but I only had imaginary friends because that's what kids on TV did and I knew they were imaginary, I was just playing. I'm interested to see if anyone thought they were real.
Me and my sister had an imaginary "friend" named Birdie. He was a giant blue humanoid-ish bird with a pterodactyl-like face. He was very naughty and was always mean and did bad things. I barely remember him but in retrospect that must've been creepy af for our parents
I REALLY enjoyed this! Freya is an excellent writer!
Everyone's imaginary friends always seem to have such normal names, mine were Glinday and Glonday lol if my kid came up with those out of nowhere I would be terrified.
Does anyone know what just happened to the new episode of are you scared ?? I was in the middle of watching it and it went private ??
yea same thing happened to me but i dont know why lol
my childhood imaginary friend was a skunk. not even a talking one or anything, just a regular skunk 😂
Danny really didn't do anything wrong besides be ugly.. he never hurt anyone. he was really just chilling quietly and wanting to play in the middle of the night. basically a ghoulish sort of house cat
Dudes mom didn’t feed Danny anything for YEARS?!?! Who’s the real villain here?
ryans giggle after he described what mr jingles would do to you is actual peak nightmare source material
loving shane's prison jumpsuit this episode
i had an imaginary friend when i was very young (2 or 3). they appeared after I had a nightmare and my mom comforted me saying that it was just a dream. from then on I started talking to my imaginary friend whose name meant dream in korean. my parents were really freaked out and I would count multiple in certain spaces, usually in the top corners of rooms. Sometimes there’d be five in the room, sometimes they wouldn’t be there at all. one day i yelled at my imaginary friend to leave while pointing at the open window. from then on i never talked about my imaginary friend and had no memory of them.
Kids are terrifying
More than one huh, personally I only had one, a little kid named Justin.
I like the idea that in Ghost Files, there's really concrete, irrefutable evidence of ghosts climbing out of mirrors and stuff but they just don't keep it in the episode and Shane has nerves of steel.
Danny's a cool guy. He probably doesn't mean any harm. Thanks for sharing his story!

I am BEGGING you to release a sign or merch for “Another day, another white knuckle ride through this thing we call life” or a t-shirt that says “I don’t feel in control” on the front and that quote on the back 😂
What the hell was the giggle at like 0:43 💀
I don't remember it but my parents said I had one as a toddler, it was an old lady. Apparently one day I told them she went to the hospital, and never mentioned her again lmao
Is the devil on Shane's shoulder going to be a new character we need to keep an eye out for? I'm already struggling with Ricky Goldsworth, C.C. Tinsley, and the Aussie Shane variant lol.
"Push-Up Devil"
I had a feeling I would regret watching this on a darkening rainy/snowing evening, in my apartment alone, and I was VERY right. I’m going to have to close the bathroom door and maybe turn the mirror around now. But great story as always guys 👍
Modest proposal for the next episode: Ryan, are you scared of the Hotdaga?
First Ryan made the Professor disappear and now he’s made Shane disappear. Geez Ryan what’s really going on over there at Watcher ?
not scared but highly entertained 😆
I had an imaginary friend named Jo as a child. This is per my mom because I don't remember squat
This one was honestly creepy, and I LOVED it.
Also, once again, like normal, AMAZINGG art work.

But they could've just seen it in their imagination, 👻 👹
My imaginary friend had huge green eyes peeping out of a suit made of black trash bags and duct tape, and lived underneath the drainage pond in the park near were I lived.
Had no issues then nor now with her.
Was really chill for what sure now seems like a spooky ghost.
Never had a name or a face, the eyes were just reflecting green out of a dark hole in the "hood" kind of like a Jawa or Marvin the Martian.
subtitle: your imaginary friend laughing behind your back

I never had an imaginary friend but I do remember one time I really wanted one so I decided that I'd have a family of seven imaginary cat friends and promptly forgot about them until now. I finally have my own cat and (as much as I love her) I couldn't imagine having SEVEN cats!
I had an imaginary herd of cats too!
I love you both! My 4 cats do too
I had a boss once that I was close with and one argument we had he told me "Well I'm your imaginary friend so your just arguing with yourself." fastest way to disarm an argument
Narrator: "You're just a voice in My head".
Tyler Durden: "And you're a voice in mine!"
When I was younger, I had an "imaginary friend" called Cubit but soon I found out he was someone who kept breaking into our house and stealing my clothes at night, while singing me lullabies and rubbing my stomach, the thought of that still sends chills down my spine lol
that is fucking terrifying
you can't just drop that and leave it?? hello? what do you MEAN your "imaginary friend" was actually someone who kept breaking into your house and stealing your clothes at night, while singing you lullabies and rubbing your stomach? how did you find this out? was he caught??

You are in fact, scared.
It's messed up that she apparently knew Danny was there, and yet didn't feed him the whole time. Bad mom indeed.
14:30 Shane, “don’t even get me started on Brians.”
Ryan, “there is a lot of Brians”
Shane, “there’s too many Brians.”
I’m feeling a little called out right now.😅😂😂
I don’t know man, I would be down to just crack a cold one in the mirror and chill with Danny-seems like he only turned dangerous when he was insulted-he just seemed like he wanted to catch up!
Didn't expect Shane to be killed off in this episode.
Finally, the stories are back! missed you guys!
Also that wheeze Ryan makes at 11:05 is hilarious!
i 100% relate to ryan staying scared of the coatrack because he was afraid a real threat would know he let his guard down 😭
I first thought our beloved shane is dressed as a garbage disposal man and honestly, that would be a hell of a fit.
Wow, this is a genuinely well-written story. Well-selected, guys!
watcher is my comfort channel, whenever i'm anxious i rewatch old vids so it's the best to see new uploads i love yall
When I was little, my imaginary friend was a literal ghost (a cartoonish ghost but still). I don't know how my parents never took me to an exorcist
I love the ending because the dude got exactly what he wanted. Reassurance from his mother that what he saw was true.
nice touch that Danny seemed tied to the house... usually I would think that Danny would've ended up possessing Oscar or the mom was already possessed... tbh if you just talked to Danny real nice about boundaries and that he should let Oscar sleep and eat and go to school, THEN play tea party, then maybe it could've turned out ok..tho yknow...maybe he was trying to consume their souls or whatever
even though the ending was changed, this story is still really good! the original one as posted by the author was much more... disturbing. i would've loved to see that ending in art form lol. but the direction the watcher boys took here leaves more to the imagination so i'm not complaining
What was the original ending?
can you link the original story please
@@-theviolinist-7710i only saw this just now lol. if you haven't read the original, the ending was a graphical depiction of how danny ate oscar
i had an imaginary friend named sebastian who i used to say was my brother. cool dude. weird though because he was not my age, he was around 19-21-ish (i’m estimating here) and he had hair that would alternate between white, blue, and purple, and he had tattoos and a bridge piercing. what’s funny is that sebastian also had an imaginary friend, who was a leprechaun that sat on his shoulder and basically just argued with him about anything and everything, meanwhile sebastian was always convincing me to do crazy stuff.
I do not have a piercing and I only dyed my hair colors once or twice.
@@sdivine13 Are you suggesting you’re sebastion
I'm gonna say this now: I've never had an imaginary friend like Ryan and Shane. I'm not sure why or how others had one. I did tend to talk to myself a lot as a kid and still to this day, but that's just because it's how I function best by saying out loud what I think to myself.
Edit: After watching the video, I gotta say the story reminds me so much of Us, but not the whole movie. Just the part where "Danny" had "grown up" alongside the dad. And for the mirror part, I think you're not supposed to put a mirror in front of a mirror because it makes a portal for spirits to come through. Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I just know it's bad luck to have two mirrors facing each other like that.
We have mirrors like that in our bathroom and the only thing it does is make it a lot easier to cut my own hair
I had imaginary friends since I didn’t really have many friends that lived close to me. And while I don’t have imaginary friends anymore I still fill the silence by talking to myself to this day.
After my dad died, I had an imaginary friend that lived in the abandoned house down the street. My da used to scare us with a mask and chase us around the house, he loved scaring the fuck out of us lol. My imaginary friend used to do the same thing.
When I told someone about it later in life, they tried to tell me it was my dad returning :'). I told them it was probably just a child trying to process the trauma of losing their parent
this is great but i would pay good US american dollars for ryan to read erotica while Shane sits there.
I never talked to my toys/imaginary friends as a kid because I just assumed they could read my thoughts(??), so I'd have incredibly long silent "conversations" with them where I talked to them in my head, and now I'm very glad that my parents never saw me doing that because that sounds horrifying to walk in on 😅 Great video though, very unsettling!! I'm an adult and I still keep most of my toys, never really understood how other people think of them as creepy, but to each their own ig!
I had an imaginary friend but I can’t remember anything about them. I do remember talking about them though.
Funnily enough, the conversation at 22:30,
It's said that facing two mirrors close to each other creates a door to the spirit realm, a vortex of sorts. It's why some places such as the Stanley Hotel (if I remember correctly) are speculated to have intense hauntings. I think this hotel specifically was what inspired the Shining as well!
Danny pushing the dad back on the bed i genuinely thought this was taking a turning point
ok but there are multiple Stephen King references here. Mr.Jingles is the mouse in Green Mile and Danny (whom has a "childhood imaginary friend") is in the Shining. - Also a dad haunted by his own past by way of his child.
I’m LIVING for Ryan’s array of colourful caps. Ryan is giving Hipster Playwright and Shane is fun High School Teacher who goes retro once in a while.
