@@Aconitum_napellus Wow, you're not very intelligent. It's always shocking how people in countries that deny basic human rights, for some reason, brainwashed etc, campaign against and belittle the rights of actual free people. Pathetic, really.
@Enda Dorgan Hey stranger - haven't seen you for ages - how are you? Family well? I hope that the last few months have been okay for you. The funny thing about this video is that I grew up in Crosshill during the exact time frame, and my Dad grew up in the Gorbals, (next to the Southern Necropolis) during the 40/50s - born in 1942, so he'd have been 11 or 12 if he was involved in the vampire hunt. Good to see you mo chara🍀
"Should you ever find yourself walking through the streets of Glasgow in the early hours, be mindful of your surroundings." Good advice, although I don't think it's the Gurning man you need worry about!
I stay in glasgow for 45yrs and the people of glasgow are amongst the most helpfull people in the world,&this story is bull sh.. Ive never heard of this .
@@scottmacintyre8127 Me either besides there's no other place in the UK is rather stay, yes we have a reputation but you really have to provoke it and start with us.

Scottish kids decided to hunt down a vampire themselves? Yes, those kids are true Scots. As for the Gurning Man, perhaps it was a fellow suffering from a nerve ailment of some type. A few people see him wandering about a night, and the legend builds from those sightings.
First night in student housing in Copenhagen, I heard a scream. This was in the "should I call police?" range of screaming. I couldn't see anything through the window, there was no commotion, so I eventually made the decision to just go to bed, hoping I wasn't wrong to do so. Turns out Screams At Traffic Lights Man was a bit of local color in the area. Some psych facilities (housing the less dangerous kind of mental patients) operated in the area, and Screams At Traffic Lights Man was allowed to roam freely since he wasn't aggressive and only minimally disruptive. I got to experience him up close at the street crossing on another occasion, not knowing the face that went with the title, I was rather startled. You could see from the reaction of the other people waiting for green that most of them were locals, as soon as they figured out who was doing the screaming, they all relaxed right away.
@@Kasarii Now that's interesting. Such a fellow could be a jumping off point for a urban legend like the Gurning Man. Once the story's passed around verbally and via the internet, Screams At Traffic Lights Man makes the jump from mildly annoying and even sympathetic to menacing. Folks can't resist embellishing a story.
@@TheKulu42 That's probably the origin of most of the stories these guys cover. Something unusual that gets blown out of proportion over time. Still fun to listen to
Yeah my Mom has worked in healthcare all her life (and therefore, mine) and she'd bring me along sometimes. I've seen folks who had developmental disabilities who would look and act similarly to how The Gurning Man is described. I've also seen regular folk's responses that were more monstrous than any patient's behavior. Healthy folk can be pretty mean to people they don't understand. I can easily see how seeing someone like that could spark wild stories. He could have been kept locked away by his family out of misplaced shame and maybe occasionally he'd escape. Doesn't explain the sightings in people's houses but sensationalism can lead to stories popping up like that.
This reminds me of the Green Man of Pittsburgh. The stories I was told was that a mutated man wandered the local roadways his face melted by a massive electric shock that also turned his skin green. It was said he had to smoke his cigarettes out of a hole in the side of his neck. Turns out the Green Man really had existed. He was just a poor burn victim who habitually wore the color green and walked everywhere because he didn’t have a car. Urban legends are wild.
That's exactly what I thought. Man has stroke, everyone screams and runs, he gets increasingly frustrated and screams but it sounds scary because he can't speak properly.
I'm surprised that the gurning man wasn't just written off as "a bit of a character", which tends to be the go-to term for dangerous lunatics in most parts of Scotland.
I see meth heads act the same way every day at work. They literally come out of nowhere and can’t stop moving. Usually asking for smokes and spare change.
Normal young children anywhere else in the world.." Mommy!! It's a MONSTER.. Young Children of Glasgow..."A PINT OR WHOEVER BASHES HIS HEAD IN FIRST!!"
I have to hand it to you guys. The artist that does the artwork for your videos is fantastic. It's an excellent visual aid and you guys are one of the few channels to provide one of a kind artwork for their stories. Keep up the great work.
The Catman is a real guy. He's a Russian sailor who stayed in greenock after his ship left without him years ago. He does crawl about like a cat and he has occasionally got a dead rat hanging out his mouth. The guys a mental case.
I've known a man like this back when I worked the night shift in a nursing home. He was physically and mentally impaired, apparently some geriatric condition. At night he left his room in a state of disorientation and stumbled through the halls, flailing his arms, drooling and howling, it was quite terrifying.
I just found this channel through Mrballen and have been binge watching all day! Thank you guys for such an awesome show. Congrats on your collaboration with MrBallen, I have been watching him for years.
Congratulations on your 100th episode - it's been a crazy run of the weird and wonderful, and some spooky, disturbing stuff too. Here's to the next 100 episodes.
At 37, I have “Misophonia”, a hatred of certain sounds that can bring on frustration even during happiness. Your voice is soothing and the mysteries make me think. When packing up this morning from a weekend away camping I put in the ol earbuds and fire up BTS! Too much chaos and friends kids running amok lol.
The comparison to Indrid Cold sent chills up my spine, as his story always terrified me. The illustration of the creature on the bed though, was so terrifying! Top notch story telling as always guys!
fascinating! Scottish kids are hardcore… Something about the description of the Gurning Man, the twitching and upright writhing, the metalic sounds, etc. reminds me of the Lying Figures of Silent Hill 2.
elleofmusic Given how they dealt with terrorist who was actually on fire!! I find it incredibly hard to believe any Scot would even notice a gurning man?? Never mind be afraid!!! English urban legend me thinks🧐😜
Okay, now I really would like to see a comprehensive video on these mysterious entities like Indrid Cold, the Grinning Man, and the Gurning Man, that seriously connects all the events and drudges up all available reports and lore for analysis. These figures are super creepy, and after having an entity similar, I've become obsessed with learning more.
Bad reply. There are many things to be taken seriously here. Street accostations, home break ins, ethereal disappearances, as well as the probability of a seriously mentally/physically ill individual roaming the streets un-cared for. The earlier statement of a sulphur fog hanging over Glasgow are just as disturbing with all the ramifications that involves...
Top-notch work as always, guys!! Can’t W8 to see more cryptids, myths, and other creepy stories like this! By the way, here are a few other Scottish legends I think y’all should consider: The Haunted Hermitage Castle The story of Sawney Bean and his clan The haunted battlefield at Killiekrankie The Dullahan wraith (which inspired the Headless Horseman from the Legend of Sleepy Hollow). & a true crime from the U.S: Belle Gunness.
@@RogueAce93 The Dullahan is a fantastic story, so I'd love to see it - I wasn't trying to be a smartarse - just putting the story in the correct location. There's a lot of crossover between Scottish and Irish mythology, so it's entirely possible you've heard it in a Scottish context, but it's definitely Irish in origin. Take care ✌️
Ethan Esgrow-I would love to see a video on the legend of Sawney Bean. As someone who's spent their whole life in Scotland I would hear that legend all the time as a kid, & even now as an adult that story still creeps me out. What makes it even scarier is that you can actually visit the cave Sawney & his family supposedly lived in.
This one was definitely one of the creepier and more chilling episodes you’ve put out. Got goosebumps listening to it. A great choice for your 100th episode for sure!
Thoroughly enjoyed that. I've heard this tale, (TH-cam and other online sources) several times now, and this was far and away the best incarnation. If we are to accept the story, it's highly unlikely that it's an actual person, given that 30 - 40 years have passed since the earlier reports and the most recent, and he was said to be around 50+ years old in the first place. I'd love to know where it originated.
This mystery has one obvious solution: The Gurning Man is Eddie, the infamous Iron Maiden mascot. Just check the cover art of "Fear of the Dark". This is a very cool urban legend.
Happy 100 episodes! For future videos, can I request the Order of Nine Angles, Dulce Base/underground lizard people, Sawney Bean and the Toronto Tunnel Monster?
Awesome as always!!!! I love the fact that you give other theories or possibility's . And let the person come to there own conclusions. You guys rock Stay safe. Looking forward to the next bedtime story 😉
Those kids are metal as heck! Reminds me of how all the 'Paranormal Hunter' youtubers who scamper at the first sound of a door closing... just bring a couple Scottish lads with ye!

@@GallowayJessewell at least half the Antifa f@9s are crack heads, so we'd be getting two birds with one stone when you think about it. That being said, when it comes to Marxists, I wouldn't want the Scot kids to have all the fun.
MUST say your narration was a lot more enjoyable this time around! Not sure if you actually saw my comment on your last video but this one's was a lot more pleasant to listen to. Keep it up!
Congratulations on the hundredth episode. Brilliant work. Love all the videos, art work, research you guys do. Keep it up. You make youtube a cooler, if not a little scarier place. Thank you for the entertainment. One love.
Am I the only one who thought they misspelled "burning" when they read the title before hitting play? 😳 I'll admit it, I've never heard of the word "gurning" until now. 😭
_"Surely they meant to say 'burning' and will correct the misspelling once the episode premieres..."_ [Thought bubble over my head after reading the title on the notification]
I have never thought " gurning " to mean " burning " before in my life... wow we have a lot of uneducated or young folk here. And since when is to gurn or gurning a slang??? I think people need to go back to English class or at least read and learn the dictionary. In Scotland though apart for it meaning to pull horrible faces. It is also used to mean to whine. But in this case it means to snarl and pull horrible faces.
The 100th episode congratulations man on another job well done,..... Grandted I've never heard of this horrifying account. So which one of your avid patreons won the contest? .....And when can I hear that story?

This is brilliant,.My dad was from Glasgow and it's close to the place he was born.Can't even ask him as he's passed away.Glasgow has a lot of history im proud of my heritage ...My dad would play in the midden not a good thing lol he loved it running the street
Lol, you don't know Scotlands kids. This would be *FUN* for us. Edit - I'm curious where/when you grew up that Vampire Hunting wouldn't be a fun day out?
Being a kid in Ayrshire during the 70's, a normal evenings entertainment could be a fun game of 'two man hunt', or 'hunt the cunt', both of which involved receiving a good kicking if you got caught.... fun for all ages, think I was 7-8 when I had my first game... So, this just made this poor, weird guy 'the cunt'....and he got duly hunted, luckily for him he wasn't caught... lol. We had our own event like this in Killie, except we were labelled 'Ghostbusters', hordes of teens roaming the Dean Castle Estate in pitch darkness, think I only ever remember seeing one person with a torch, lookin' for The Grey Lady.... '83 iirc.
Never?? Youd be in a group and hunting a vampire, nothing lonely about that...although I am Irish and I think we're made of the same stuff Scottish people are made of
There are alot of channels that do thing like this, and i watch sevwral of them, but I've got to say i really like the combination of narration, art and tone that this channel has. Good job guys!
Yous guys are all brilliant Mikey those grave stones are so well done you've created the atmosphere aswell as the scene something not even photos can do jaw dropping I'm envious man I take my hat off to ur art 🤘 this whole channel comes together perfect, I'm always stoked when I get a notification from yous ✊✊
So glad you don't do jump scares, that last scene would have been the perfect timing for that. But those 'slowly appearing creature' shots still give me the creeps. Good job!
Scotland’s children. Do they huddle under their bedcovers in fear when a monster starts hunting them down? Or form a small army of small people with small weapons and go after it themselves?
Legend says he's a Celtic fan - haunting the dreams of Rangers fans both young and old. Legend has it - if a rangers fan sees him, nothing will happen...
The descriptions of the way this man moved and his strange grin reminds me of a man I saw a few times as a child here in Australia. That man's granddaughter told me he had palsy.
When I was working on the Buchanan Street Starbucks one night, the girls and I were closing shop and a man covered in blood from no apparent wound of his own tried to chat us up and I’m pretty sure he was the Gurning Man x
This is the 1st time I've ever heard of this. I've lived in the Crosshill / Queens Park areas in the this time frame and I'd never heard anyone mention this, until now.
There is this one scary narrator that has this weird cadence to his voice. Like he is asking a question at the end of the sentence. I can't remember his name buy damn does his voice sound weird.
Literally any other children: “mommy the monster is going to eat us!”
Scottish kids in the 50s: “Oi get yer bats out boys, we got to kill that vampire that killed Jimmy!”

Ethan Esgrow-I would love to see a video on the legend of Sawney Bean. As someone who's spent their whole life in Scotland I would hear that legend all the time as a kid, & even now as an adult that story still creeps me out. What makes it even scarier is that you can actually visit the cave Sawney & his family supposedly lived in.
This one was definitely one of the creepier and more chilling episodes you’ve put out. Got goosebumps listening to it. A great choice for your 100th episode for sure!
Thoroughly enjoyed that.
I've heard this tale, (TH-cam and other online sources) several times now, and this was far and away the best incarnation.
If we are to accept the story, it's highly unlikely that it's an actual person, given that 30 - 40 years have passed since the earlier reports and the most recent, and he was said to be around 50+ years old in the first place.
I'd love to know where it originated.
The Gurning Man of Glasgow: "Cocaine is a helluva drug."
You mean MDMA
That and a good few E’s
Wonder if any of the people who make these kind of jokes consider that he could be a person with a disability?
Is the gurning man just rick james on a bender?
Well a horde of armed children that’s some stuff.
The dogs run about in cliques with flick knifes,
Not in Glasgow
You’ve never visited Scotland have you Nick?
This mystery has one obvious solution: The Gurning Man is Eddie, the infamous Iron Maiden mascot. Just check the cover art of "Fear of the Dark". This is a very cool urban legend.
HRNGGG I want to listen to this while on a walk but the art is so good I can’t miss out on it
Yes!
Started on 04/28/21 and I’m back here - my binge streak shall continue on! Love your vids Bedtime Stories
It was just the joker taking a holiday in the Gorbals.
And after having been a victim of a few kickings, the joker realised his mistake and left quickly
Anyone else expected a jump scare at the end?
Good work. I hope you guys keep putting out content for a long time. Thanks.
Happy 100 episodes!
For future videos, can I request the Order of Nine Angles, Dulce Base/underground lizard people, Sawney Bean and the Toronto Tunnel Monster?
You request shit everytime neckbeard
@@appalachiahiker853 Hey, hey. Tone it down. Be respectful.
Great story! And the illustrations are fantastic and really creepy!! Thanks!
Happiest person ever seeing this. My life is simple. But that's how I like it.
Awesome as always!!!! I love the fact that you give other theories or possibility's . And let the person come to there own conclusions. You guys rock Stay safe. Looking forward to the next bedtime story 😉
Those kids are metal as heck! Reminds me of how all the 'Paranormal Hunter' youtubers who scamper at the first sound of a door closing... just bring a couple Scottish lads with ye!
Idk i feel like most people wouldn't be afraid of much of anything, if youre in a group of 200 armed people
I’m upset I missed the notification so I could have watched it sooner love the content and the visuals to the stories think you would ever do more full colour ones
Thers also a bonus episode out now its very good. Andy England 🇬🇧👍
I kinda want a mini serious about Glasgow folk lore like this
Order yerself a few copies of "The Digger" and you will have plenty of material bud
This channel is what keeps my spirits up going into the next week. I always dread sunday as it is my time to fulfill responsibikities but these guys give me something to look forward to
If your town has a crackhead problem? send in the Scottish kids. Theyll have your community cleaned up in no time! (Just don't ask how)
What about a marxist problem?
@@GallowayJessewell at least half the Antifa f@9s are crack heads, so we'd be getting two birds with one stone when you think about it.
That being said, when it comes to Marxists, I wouldn't want the Scot kids to have all the fun.
@Alphonso Muzzy hell yeah! 😎
Congrats on 100 videos! Here's to many more!
200 child vampire hunters chasing monsters through a grave yard. Glasgow - you gotta love it.
MUST say your narration was a lot more enjoyable this time around! Not sure if you actually saw my comment on your last video but this one's was a lot more pleasant to listen to.
Keep it up!
The artwork is off the charts I'm jealous ;)
Congratulations on the hundredth episode. Brilliant work. Love all the videos, art work, research you guys do. Keep it up. You make youtube a cooler, if not a little scarier place. Thank you for the entertainment. One love.
More please! Much, much more!💞💞💞
That’s what she and he said~

I love absolutely love the way they end with a warning.
Chilling.
Am I the only one who thought they misspelled "burning" when they read the title before hitting play? 😳
I'll admit it, I've never heard of the word "gurning" until now. 😭
_"Surely they meant to say 'burning' and will correct the misspelling once the episode premieres..."_
[Thought bubble over my head after reading the title on the notification]
@David Parry I am sorry for not knowing all the elaborate words and slangs of my secondary language
I miss read it as "burning" too.
Definitely first time I heard of gurning.
I have never thought " gurning " to mean " burning " before in my life... wow we have a lot of uneducated or young folk here.
And since when is to gurn or gurning a slang??? I think people need to go back to English class or at least read and learn the dictionary.
In Scotland though apart for it meaning to pull horrible faces. It is also used to mean to whine. But in this case it means to snarl and pull horrible faces.
The 100th episode congratulations man on another job well done,..... Grandted I've never heard of this horrifying account.
So which one of your avid patreons won the contest?
.....And when can I hear that story?
I do think I had trouble sending my script in for the competition, I had really hoped to win, I do believe I have a great story to tell.
I can't wait to hear episode, 101 soon, thanx again Marc Hernandez, of Hereford Texas, U.S.A..
Damnit, my Extremely Funny, trenchant "well that sounds like a standard night out in Glasgow" comments have already been taken >.>
This is just Flakka's debut in Scotland, that's all. Everyone's all scared when they just want to be human zombies...
The "Malcolm Tucker: The Beginning" Joke is still free...
@@Axel1711-c6h Oh now that's fantastic, thank you :D
I heard the children with bats, chasing a metal toothed vampire is very funny as well.
This is brilliant,.My dad was from Glasgow and it's close to the place he was born.Can't even ask him as he's passed away.Glasgow has a lot of history im proud of my heritage ...My dad would play in the midden not a good thing lol he loved it running the street
Imagine how angry, frightened, and alone, a group of children would have to feel in order to go hunting a vampire by themselves.
Lol, you don't know Scotlands kids.
This would be *FUN* for us.
Edit - I'm curious where/when you grew up that Vampire Hunting wouldn't be a fun day out?
Being a kid in Ayrshire during the 70's, a normal evenings entertainment could be a fun game of 'two man hunt', or 'hunt the cunt', both of which involved receiving a good kicking if you got caught.... fun for all ages, think I was 7-8 when I had my first game...
So, this just made this poor, weird guy 'the cunt'....and he got duly hunted, luckily for him he wasn't caught... lol.
We had our own event like this in Killie, except we were labelled 'Ghostbusters', hordes of teens roaming the Dean Castle Estate in pitch darkness, think I only ever remember seeing one person with a torch, lookin' for The Grey Lady.... '83 iirc.
My Mum would still be up for a fight and she's in her 80s. Feisty! 😂
Never?? Youd be in a group and hunting a vampire, nothing lonely about that...although I am Irish and I think we're made of the same stuff Scottish people are made of
@@iaminpainauchocolat9300 tragically similar 😂
There are alot of channels that do thing like this, and i watch sevwral of them, but I've got to say i really like the combination of narration, art and tone that this channel has. Good job guys!
I knew this was goin to be fantastic..!! Your drawings are breathtaking
Yous guys are all brilliant Mikey those grave stones are so well done you've created the atmosphere aswell as the scene something not even photos can do jaw dropping I'm envious man I take my hat off to ur art 🤘 this whole channel comes together perfect, I'm always stoked when I get a notification from yous ✊✊
Was about to go to sleep but i guess that can wait.
Same
So glad you don't do jump scares, that last scene would have been the perfect timing for that. But those 'slowly appearing creature' shots still give me the creeps. Good job!
Scotland’s children. Do they huddle under their bedcovers in fear when a monster starts hunting them down? Or form a small army of small people with small weapons and go after it themselves?
Finally a video from my favorite channel!!!! ThAnk you made my day
Legend says he's a Celtic fan - haunting the dreams of Rangers fans both young and old. Legend has it - if a rangers fan sees him, nothing will happen...
Maybe it's just Frank McAvennie after a long night of sniffing coke and shagging page 3 birds
The rivalry transcends into all types discussions lol
These stories are like the TH-cam equivalent to those scary stories told in front of the campfire. Keep up the good work.
"James, do you know him?"
"Not socially."
The descriptions of the way this man moved and his strange grin reminds me of a man I saw a few times as a child here in Australia. That man's granddaughter told me he had palsy.
These videos are like a steady morphine drip without the risk of renal failure
Been watching since vid one, so glad y'all are successful, thank you for 100 amazing videos and here's too another 1000 more too come hopefully!
Burning Man of Brazil
Gurning Man of Glasgow
Wonder if they're brothers or something.
Or perhaps Grothers?
Turning Man of Tanzania
Churning Man of China
Go on Bedtime Stories, that's your new series after "there's something in everything"
@@JaleelBeig Can't forget about their cousin, the Spurning Man of Spain
Learning man of Lesotho is also good shout
Earning man of England should soon follow
The stirring man of Slovakia
Another great installment. Many thanks. It reminded me of an urban legend from when I was a boy.
That could be the title of an Irvine Welsh book
Auto thumbs up, pillow adjusted, thank you so much! Looked up gurning, interesting.
Wish you would do more than just 1 every 2 weeks or so.. Still, love Bedtimes Stories!!!!
Right bro
@@magicvampirelver1321 he's got such a cool voice....
Love the illustrations! So gifted!
When I was working on the Buchanan Street Starbucks one night, the girls and I were closing shop and a man covered in blood from no apparent wound of his own tried to chat us up and I’m pretty sure he was the Gurning Man x
Thanks for another fantastic episode & artwork Bedtime Stories team.
A gang of 200 armed Glasgow youths is the most terrifying part.
Yes! Uploaded right before my bedtime!
"Local Man goes on bad meth trip, gains ability to teleport."
This is the 1st time I've ever heard of this. I've lived in the Crosshill / Queens Park areas in the this time frame and I'd never heard anyone mention this, until now.
Gurning Man: _Kills friends_
Scottish kids: "AH'M GAUNY HAMMAER YEW!"
Good psych-out at the end there. I was fully expecting those rubbish cans to shake suddenly, or to hear the Gurning Man's scream again.
Great festival, I hope to go to Gurning Man some day.
"Hoard of vengeful children" never thought I would ever hear that
Tho only YT narrator whose voice doesn't annoy my flatmate.
For some reason I feel you know who Chills is. 😆 My best friend can't stand his voice.
@@Koga-kl4to no one can stand his voice
There is this one scary narrator that has this weird cadence to his voice. Like he is asking a question at the end of the sentence. I can't remember his name buy damn does his voice sound weird.
@@marclytle644 Sounds like Chills
This is just Flakka's debut in Scotland, that's all. Everyone's all scared when they just want to be human zombies...
This was quite entertaining! Thank you Mr. Simon.
