1
00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:08.439
This next story I'm going to share. I'm so excited about this. So

2
00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:13.960
this story has gone viral, so
the story's by no means going to be

3
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:17.559
your first time hearing it, possibly
credit to mister Nightmare, where I actually

4
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:20.320
had heard this story. It's everywhere. This is a popular one, and

5
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:24.960
I actually have footage to share along
with it, so I'm actually excited.

6
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:30.440
This should be fun. This story
is called Terrifying crawl Space Horror Story.

7
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:35.880
It's by Jake h. Usually the
scariest things you'll find in a crawl space

8
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:41.240
would be my sir, spiders,
maybe crickets. Jake found something way more

9
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:46.159
terrifying than any creature in his crawl
space. Jake lives in a nice neighborhood

10
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:50.280
and owns his own house where his
girlfriend lives with him. Jake met his

11
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.719
girlfriend in their local community. The
two hit it off and would eventually start

12
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:56.719
to date. At some point during
this time, she opened up to him

13
00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:00.719
about her old abusive ex. She
described her ex as a ticking time bomb.

14
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:06.760
He would often be very sweet and
she did it like his more genuine

15
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.959
kind side, but he could at
a switch become a completely different person.

16
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.439
One side, like she mentioned,
was Swede the other side was a very

17
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.879
aggressive, scary man who would do
things like by bouncers of bars on holls

18
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:26.519
and walls, or even sometimes actually
get physically abusive with her. Things would

19
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.840
become so rocky between the two that
eventually she would end things with her ex,

20
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.079
but he didn't take that news well. She feared that her ex was

21
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.200
stalking her. An example, at
her parents' house during the late night hours,

22
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:44.400
either she or her parents would hear
sounds from the backyard, things like

23
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:49.599
a gate slamming shut or the back
door shed closing. She made the decision

24
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.959
to disable all forms of social media
after the breakup, and she became very

25
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:57.359
concerned, so concerned for her well
being that she actually decided to move in

26
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:02.959
with her boyfriend. Jake started the
story with on one regular night that Jake's

27
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:07.719
girlfriend wasn't in the house with him, he was in his living room when

28
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:12.439
he heard noises coming from the crawl
space. He moved from the living room

29
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.039
to his kitchen and sat at the
island for a while, continuing to listen

30
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:22.879
and hearing these strange noises, occasionally
thumping sounds from directly below him. It

31
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.400
was at this time where he started
to record a video for a Snapchat story.

32
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.400
Assuming that he was hearing an animal
of some kind such as a raccoon,

33
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:35.680
He thought this should be an entertaining
thing to record for Snapchat, which

34
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.960
it does sound like it would be
right. Raccoon in your cross space.

35
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.120
I've had a spurl of Mattic that
definitely was not fun. As he enters

36
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.199
the cross space, he stops recording
for a second, and we'll get in

37
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:49.439
this video here in a second.
And I did edit this video down shorter,

38
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.919
so if you're watching it, that's
not the complete original presentation. So

39
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:54.879
I don't think that it's edited in
any sort of way, because that was

40
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:59.400
me. You'll see the light come
on us sometimes so he can see when

41
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.360
he gets down on the cross base. Also note that the cross face appears

42
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:07.199
to be mostly empty, aside from
some boxes that were tucked into the corner.

43
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.000
Jake said that he saw these boxes
this way. He was confused because

44
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:15.599
he didn't remember leaving them that way. So Jake decides to walk deeper into

45
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:17.639
the cross baced. We're gonna pick
up on the video now, and actually

46
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.800
it'll do a short recap on what
we talked about. He sit at the

47
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.560
kitchen on the Island when he's hearing
these noises when he starts to record this

48
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:47.639
on Snapchat, Who the fuck is
that noise? Oh shit, just kind

49
00:03:47.639 --> 00:05:06.680
of day that. Oh to see
that up there for a second. And

50
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:11.600
I will pick pick up on the
story here in a moment. But it's

51
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:15.720
important to note, and we'll get
into here, this is where the video

52
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:20.759
ends. And if anybody listening is
you snapchat, that's because when you you

53
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:25.560
basically have to hold down the screen
that says record, So as soon as

54
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.519
you let off your finger off the
screen, it stops recording. So that

55
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.399
explains to that. Let me summarize, let me finish up the story here.

56
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.800
Jake said that he heard a noise
in one corner, like pebbles being

57
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:40.920
scraped on the concrete floor. As
he heard the noise, he turned to

58
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.839
the corner and this is where he
saw the most terrifying sight, the sight

59
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.000
of somebody hunched over, addressed in
all black, who was hiding in the

60
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.720
corner when spotted the individual started approaching
him, which you could see in the

61
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:56.920
video. The screen that Jake sounded
like was completely sounded, completely legitimate.

62
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.720
Somebody witnessing something very disturbing as an
intruder hiding in their crawl space and then

63
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:05.279
basically legended them. The video cuts
out seconds later, like I just said,

64
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:11.439
because of the snapchat. He did
go on to explain what happened to

65
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.160
the rest of this event. He
ran back to the ladder of his crawl

66
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.639
space, and as he was climbing
up, a hand grabbed his leg and

67
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:24.920
tried to pull him back down into
the crawl space. By kicking the hand

68
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.519
off of his leg, he was
able to shut the crawl space door in

69
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.600
their face. Unfortunately, the door
to the closet which contained the crawl space

70
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:34.439
didn't have a lock, so Jake's
first instinct was to run to the kitchen

71
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:40.680
and grab the biggest knife and lock
himself inside the bathroom. He said he

72
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:44.160
heard the closet door open and footsteps
come out of the bathroom door, and

73
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.160
then the person on the other side
of the door tried to turn the door

74
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:50.560
knob. Not knowing what kind of
weapons the intruder might have, Jake didn't

75
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:55.279
engage the intruder in a fight.
Instead, he silently called nine one one

76
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:59.240
and kept the line going, and
eventually he heard footsteps quickly leave the house

77
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.959
and out the front door. Now
Jake told the nine one one operator about

78
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:08.160
the incident. Jake's girlfriend refused to
come to the house after hearing this incident

79
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:12.040
because she swore left and right that
the man in the video had to be

80
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:16.040
your ex. It's impossible to make
out any notable facial features in the video.

81
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:21.519
You can see that the person was
worrying, all black and their head

82
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:26.120
was covered by a hood. Jake
also described the man to be very tall,

83
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.639
intimidating stature, despite being hunched over
in the crawl space. Jake's girlfriend

84
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.839
said her ex was very tall and
upon watching the video, she swears it

85
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:40.560
looks just like him. Of course, it's just speculation on her part and

86
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.920
without solid evidence, legally, they
don't have many options. They didn't have

87
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.560
any options. In the video,
he shared, you can hear loud,

88
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.360
unbit and hammering type sounds in the
beginning. After going back into the crass

89
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:55.480
space and investigating, Jake found that
the intruder had been ripping through some insulation

90
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.959
on the crawl space in actually hammering
at some of the wood on the sill

91
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.399
of the cross space. It's unknown
what he was doing. It was also

92
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:07.480
discovered that he did a couple hides
in one of their sheds. The house

93
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:13.240
key was missing, which probably revealed
how they intruder got inside. Jack changed

94
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.680
the locks on the door of that
exact same night. His girlfriend has yet

95
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.279
to return to the house. She's
almost certain now that she's been stocked by

96
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:26.319
her crazy ex boyfriend. Jake has
installed Areenbeild doorbell camera recently, and on

97
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:31.279
the occasion he's getting a notification by
Alexa device that there's somewhat at the front

98
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:35.559
door, but there's never about anybody
actually there when he looks, not visibly

99
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.240
at least. It's crazy to think
this started with a guy simply trying to

100
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.279
get a funny Snapchat story of what
he's seemed to be a raccoon or something

101
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.639
in his cross face, but turned
into something much more horrifying. I okay,

102
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:54.120
well, I was terrified when I
saw his cross face because it looks

103
00:08:54.279 --> 00:09:01.039
identical to the crawlspace entrants in my
house, same carpet, It looks pretty

104
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:03.200
it looks pretty close to mind and
mine. Actually, the interest to my

105
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:07.480
cross space is in my utility room
laundering room, so same sort of setup.

106
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.799
So yeah, I'm with you there, dude. I felt it completely.

107
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:16.240
You really can't walk comfortably it's almost
more comfortable to walk on scoot around

108
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:20.120
on your knees. Oh man,
that was rough. I saw that though.

109
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.720
I was like, man, that
is terrifying, especially since I've actually

110
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.679
got to show that video to my
nephew Emory, because recently we set them

111
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:35.440
down our crawl space to uh run
some wire for us. There was the

112
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.240
comments during this video where there are
a lot there. There were dozens of

113
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.240
course saying, don't go down there, don't be stupid. Why would you

114
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:48.480
go down there? Why? A
lot of whys if that somebody said,

115
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.080
what the hell If I hear something
like that in my crawl space, I'm

116
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.639
throwing to I'm throwing bug bombs down
there, so I will say. Okay,

117
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.360
So right before we bought our first
house, we lived in this little

118
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.679
rental and squirrels got him the attic
that got in between the roof and whatever

119
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:07.360
got into there, and you do
hear the sounds. My first instincts like

120
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.200
it's and there's so many horror stories
out there of things made in the attic

121
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:15.559
too. Yeah, my first instinct
was it's a squirrel, it's a raccoon

122
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:20.759
or something. But in that particular
house, you went up pulled down ladder

123
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:26.559
into this attic and you look around
and that just like my house now has

124
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:31.480
that like spray foam stuff everywhere.
It's not like there is insulation laid up

125
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.679
on the walls and stuff like that, but it's mostly that foam all over

126
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:39.240
the floor. So you really can't
see can't see shit basically, right,

127
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.639
I mean, but in a cross
space like this particular one, it's just

128
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:46.000
so wide open. And once he
got around the corner and he moves that

129
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:50.039
camera and you see that person,
it was truly a jump scare. And

130
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:54.519
the reason I think it's so real
it's because when you all off Snapchat,

131
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.600
once you let go of the screen, it's off. And if that happened

132
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:01.960
to you, you would not be
able to keep coding. It's not possible.

133
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.279
First of all, you get scared, you'd release the screen. Second

134
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:07.240
of all, if you're running upstairs
and all that, you wouldn't be able

135
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.799
to keep recording. So it's it's
like a real legitimate story to me.

136
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:16.279
I agree. Yeah. I will
say though that I'd add a raccoon in

137
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.080
my cross space before, and I
would recognize that that was not I raccoon

138
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:26.240
noise actually, and it touched up
on. At the end of the story,

139
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:28.840
there were some photos of when he
went back down there and that that

140
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:33.480
person was just freaking hacking away at
stuff down there. I pulled off the

141
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.840
insallation and was just I can't I
can't even have fathom what he was doing,

142
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:39.279
and like, like I was trying
to piece it together, like what

143
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:41.879
would you do? Why would you
be doing that? He like, I

144
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:45.559
don't know, maybe he was doing
and there was even some damage to the

145
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.639
pipes and stuff too. My thought
went to, is he trying to like

146
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:50.879
do it in a spot where he
could pop up and scare them, like

147
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.639
or get the girlfriend, like assuming
it is this crazy X, you know,

148
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.759
I don't know. I wonder what
his plan was. That's an easy

149
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.279
well. I mean, if you're
crazy enough to go live with someone's ballspace,

150
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.679
that your plans are probably not sound. Makes you wonder how long you're

151
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:09.960
down there, don't It doesn't seem
like the type of place that you could

152
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.639
there's no entry from the outside.
So yeah, somebody brought up a good

153
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:18.480
point setting up a break in.
Maybe oh maybe I mean leaves of the

154
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:20.960
day and go back out and take
your stuff, But I don't know.

155
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.279
Seems like they could have already done
there, right, because they had to

156
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.120
get into the house when he wasn't
there. You'd assume, yeah, because

157
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:28.639
he said he had the key with
miss Hatan, so they take mess And

158
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.279
this all happened in the nighttime hours, So I mean, you'd assume that

159
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:35.279
the person got in there and there
guard there the day. But then again,

160
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:37.120
I guess you never know. They
just wondered how long they're down there.

161
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.799
It's not a very comfortable place to
hang out, no, because this

162
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:45.759
guy was very tall, you could
tell, but how call it was while

163
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:50.159
crowds shitting down, So this would
be a very uncomfortable position to be in.

164
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.440
It's just just sort freeze, yes, say ever, see they're gonna

165
00:12:54.559 --> 00:13:20.039
we's watch the end one more time
before we move on. Yeah. Yeah,

166
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:24.360
So like right there, he's like
yeah, half yeah, bent over

167
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.679
and he's still near you the top
of that. Yeah, that's most terrifying

168
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.639
thing. Ever. The person was
definitely trying to hide in the corner,

169
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.639
like maybe like you got stuck in
a spot where you can really navigate the

170
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:39.559
rest of crawl space, so you're
kind of so, so, well,

171
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:43.519
I'll just try to hide in the
corner. That's not the scariest thing ever.

172
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.000
Then I don't know. Yeah,
that's crazy. Someone said best story

173
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.840
of the show yet. Thank you. I appreciate that. I was really

174
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:52.600
excited to scare us share that it's
not not like originally sent to us.

175
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.639
I do want to note that.
But definitely, if you want to see

176
00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:58.840
