Ice Cream Truck true scary story

WEBVTT

1
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:08.800
This is the story, first story
of the night that we're gonna share.

2
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:13.119
This is ice cream trucks Gary story. Wow. So the person that submitted

3
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:16.960
this wanted to be anonymous, but
this is I'll go ahead and get into

4
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:21.399
it here. I lived with my
parents until I was twenty eight years old.

5
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:25.399
We lived in Camden, Maine,
a rural boat town. They were

6
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:29.719
hardly ever home because of work and
just traveling a lot, so I'd hold

7
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.799
down the ford a lot. My
parents' property is large and private. They

8
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:37.399
were not home, I'd often throw
little parties. This is one of those

9
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:41.399
nights I was gonna throw a party. Oh wow, that's exciting. Everybody

10
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:45.880
likes a party. I had ten
to fifteen, ten to twenty people over

11
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:48.600
and we all hung out in the
backyard. It started around six pm,

12
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:52.799
because people started leaving around eleven pm, and by midnight everyone was gone.

13
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:57.039
I was exhausted from a mixture of
alcohol and being in the sun most of

14
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.640
the day. That certainly made me
more tired. I'd changed into my nighttime

15
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:04.120
clothes and got into bed, but
before I could even fall asleep, I

16
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:10.120
heard something something that anyone would not
expect to hear this late at night.

17
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.640
It was the sound of an ice
cream truck, only it was a tune

18
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:18.280
I'd never heard before. It was
a creepy sounding one. The tune continued

19
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:22.159
to get louder until it seemed to
be right outside. I laid there for

20
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.480
a few minutes, hoping it would
stop, but when it didn't, I

21
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:29.120
finally got up and I went to
the window to look outside. I couldn't

22
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:33.560
see anything from my bedroom window,
so I went downstairs and looked out the

23
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:37.519
living room window. I could vaguely
see what I had to be an ice

24
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:41.920
cream truck on the lawn, on
my lawn. My heart started pounding like

25
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.560
crazy. I had so many thoughts
running through my head. Who was it,

26
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.879
why were they here, and what
do they want? I paced around

27
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.680
the living room for a bit,
not knowing whether to call the police,

28
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.959
my dad, or simply wait for
them to leave. The awful tune of

29
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.879
the ice cream truck didn't stop,
and it started making gie me go crazy.

30
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.319
I decided to go out the front
door to the porch. There I

31
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.799
had a better view of the ice
cream truck parked on the property a little

32
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.120
less than one hundred feet away from
my porch, Parked in the grass,

33
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:15.360
it wasn't exactly a typical looking ice
cream truck. It was like a white

34
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:20.719
van with ice cream pictures stamped and
painted on it. I had a mixture

35
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:25.800
of feelings, mostly confused and worried. Saying it was an abnormal sight would

36
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:30.439
be a gross understatement. I stepped
onto the grass with my bare feet and

37
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:32.919
walked just a little bit closer to
the van. The headlights weren't on,

38
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.120
so when I got close enough,
I saw there was no one in the

39
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.639
driver's seat. When I got even
closer, I saw one of the sliding

40
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:45.400
doors in the van were open.
I suddenly felt as though I could be

41
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:49.800
attacked at any second. I looked
around my surroundings in a panic, and

42
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.159
then as quickly as I could,
I ran back in the house and locked

43
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:58.439
the door. Now, I decided
to call nine one one. I asked

44
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.520
them to please hurry, and the
woman asked me to walk around the house

45
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:05.599
to make sure everything was locked.
I started from the main floor and worked

46
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:08.479
my way down to the back door. The glass panel on the back door

47
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:15.639
was suddenly shattered and it was unlocked, and the door was slightly open.

48
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.719
I whispered to the nine to one
one operator about this. She told me

49
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.759
to go into your room with a
lockable door and wait there till the officers

50
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.840
arrived. I was freaking out and
tiptoed to the nearest bathroom and lock the

51
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.039
door. Then the operator told me
to stay on the line, be quiet,

52
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:37.280
and wait to help arrive. Just
a few moments later, someone on

53
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.400
the other side of the door tried
turning the doorknob to open it, and

54
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:45.199
then they started banging on the door. They actually banged three times. The

55
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.759
woman on the phone said quietly to
me that she heard it. I needed

56
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:53.240
to remain quiet and very calm.
Then, all of a sudden, after

57
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.240
a few moments, I heard the
back door suddenly slammed shut. Half a

58
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:00.439
minute later, the tune of the
ice cream try slowly faded away, and

59
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.199
the van was driving away. I
told the woman the van was driving away.

60
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:10.280
She said to wait until the officers
arrived. They took a disgustingly long

61
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:15.439
time to arrive, when I was
waiting in the bathroom for what seemed like

62
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.800
at least another five to ten minutes. If they had arrived in a more

63
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.959
timely manner, they could have caught
whoever it was that broke into my parents'

64
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:25.800
house. Instead, all that happened
was they filed a police report. My

65
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.360
personal theory is at the ice cream
truck tune was supposed to be a distraction

66
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.439
for something while they broke it into
the house. I'm sure there was more

67
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.759
than just one person in that van. I'm happy this happened to me when

68
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.839
I was twenty three years old and
not ten years old, because that would

69
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:48.839
have traumatized me forever. Court that
still chalgized me forever at twenty three,

70
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:54.360
he get tells me now. So
when I read this story with it,

71
00:04:54.399 --> 00:05:00.360
you know, I was like,
this is absolutely crazy. Somebody's commenting wrestling

72
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.959
soap operas, commenting on on TikTok
that it's fake. Maybe it'd be a

73
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.319
heck of a fake story. I
don't know. It's not from experience for

74
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:13.240
me, it's somebody that's a scary
story that somebody submitted. But nevertheless,

75
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.319
we'll take a second analyze this before
we go to the next story. So

76
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.000
I remember as a kid, the
ice cream trucks would come around your neighborhood

77
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:26.079
and it was such a joyful thing. But he's taking this moment here in

78
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:30.639
this story. It's something that's usually
so joyful and made it so scary and

79
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.879
sinister, right. Can you imagine
just laying there and somebody else is mentioning

80
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:40.920
on Facebook that the person he did
say he was intoxicated start this off.

81
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:43.920
He did say that, he did
say that, I guess, but you'd

82
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.560
have to be hella drunk to be
blacked out on this. I don't know

83
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.879
why you got people. I got
people trying to get us onto some streaming

84
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:56.600
thing. I got it. But
anyway, so to me, this is

85
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.120
crazy when I heard about it,
because I'm imagining laying there and like,

86
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:04.759
all of a sudden, I've got
an ice cream truck tuned plane and it's

87
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:10.079
sitting in my it's parked in my
yard. But I mean, this is

88
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.040
this a tactic you guys believe could
be done to try to break into a

89
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.879
house? Yeah? I could see
that happening. And I mean there are

90
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:23.040
definitely similar things that people do that, you know, like dress up as

91
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:30.000
a you know, gas company employee
or something like that to get access to

92
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:34.000
your house. So using some sort
of distraction to you to get you out

93
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:38.360
of the house to yeah, or
just to get in, like say,

94
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:42.000
hey, and you look at your
pilot light, you come up with a

95
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.839
gas company uniform on, they'll get
in and then they could rob you,

96
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.480
you know, kidnap you or whatever. See exactly how happened. And so

97
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:56.560
something like this being a tactic would
make sense to me. This story stuck

98
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:58.279
out to me because, like I
said, when I was a kid,

99
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.319
I actually there was a guy that
would drive the ice cream truck around town.

100
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:05.639
So I actually thought about that creepy
guy as I was reading this scary

101
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:11.480
story that was submitted. So,
uh, man, call on the police.

102
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.639
Just remain quiet as you read so
many of these stories and you hear

103
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:16.720
some of these things, it's always
just lock yourself in a room and be

104
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:23.639
quiet. I don't know if I
would be going outside if I wasn't armed

105
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.920
or something. But nevertheless, I
mean, if you're I don't think when

106
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.839
you hear an ice cream truck,
you just automatically assume something terrible's happening.

107
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:32.839
You'd probably be really intrigued. Yeah, you know, you think, long,

108
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:40.480
we're have a nice, delicious treat. Of course, well, depending

109
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:44.759
on the situation, you might not
be thinking that. But in this case,

110
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:48.000
I don't know, it be a
confusing situation a little bit. You'd

111
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:51.120
be like, well, why is
this truck here. If you're listening on

112
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:54.639
social media live, make sure you
like it, share it, help us

113
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.639
get off the ground here, help
more people see it. Break break the

114
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:01.439
old algorithm, as they say.
Any final thoughts on this story, if

115
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.040
we're we to move on, what
do you think about it? I mean,

116
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.560
yeah, I think it's a very
plausible story. It's definitely a very

117
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:16.560
terrifying story. Home in patient story
is infinitely more you know, scary then

118
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.639
it's simply like ghosts and goblins and
stuff like that, because like, this

119
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.319
definitely happens every day all over the
country, all over the world, and

120
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:31.720
so the idea of someone you know
breaking in, maybe using something innocent seeming

121
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:37.000
like ice cream truck to perpetrate this
crime is a terrifying notion. So whether

122
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:43.399
or not the story is true,
the act of it is possible and most

123
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:50.919
likely it's happened in some fashion somewhere, and it is a pretty scary story.
