@@TheTerrorTalesOnline You are Sir Welcome.

It's just a story

@@davidponseigo8811 I was going to comment as well, to say to @twistedarm that it is good to be empathetic with the character and even feel for the types of marital abuse that she experienced and then the terror that she encountered during her attempted escape. All of that and the realization of a father who turned his back on her and her final incarceration in a state Victorian mental institution are all bleak elements of fiction that one should only say that they find a common thread of emotions to relate to as I initially commented should be epithetic the fictional character , because if that relationship is based upon reality one should seek help to make immediate life changes for themselves and others that they are responsible for. That was the options that the character in the story never gave serious consideration to and they require a total commitment and the patience for a plans of action to be evaluated and implemented as soon as possible, including trying to find a trustworthy friend for support.

Thanks for joining my nightmare network, here's to many more sleepless nights ahead! What kinds of stories are your favorite?

Wow Diana, that's a haunting observation. You're so right that Ruth's husband was the true monster in this story. It's chilling to think about how many real-life horrors are born from domestic abuse. Ruth deserved so much better. Stories like this are a sobering reminder that sometimes the most terrifying evils are human, and far too close to home. I'm glad this story got you thinking deeper about its implications - that's what great horror should do. Thanks for engaging so thoughtfully with this video.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the narration after the first few minutes of this video, as well! Your feedback is invaluable as I continue to improve my channel. Thanks again for your support and for taking the time to share your thoughts!

The desert at night... definitely eerie! 🌙🌵 Care to share one of your strange experiences? We'd love to hear it! 👂 Share with anyone who might enjoy our content and vibe and thanks, Mia!

You're so right, @bettinastrouble2537. 😢 The trauma Ruth endured is heartbreaking and her silence speaks volumes. It's a sobering reminder of the deep scars that those experiences can leave. 💔 I'm always in awe of the resilience of survivors and the importance of sharing these stories with sensitivity and respect. Thank you for your thoughtful comment. If you found this story moving, consider sharing it and subscribing. Thank you

You raise an interesting point about the level of detail. In my experience, people can sometimes recall traumatic events quite vividly, even years later. But you're right that it's not always the case. If you have thoughts on how to make the storytelling feel more authentic, I'm all ears! And of course, if you have any real stories of your own to share, I'd love to hear them. subscribe to see how our channel and community grows!

Interesting observation, Rocky! 🧐 Always fun to dissect story details. Any other elements that caught your eye?

'Interesting and desperate' - what a perfectly chilling way to sum up this story, Ruth! I'm so glad it grabbed you. One of my favorite things about horror is how it can make us feel such a visceral mix of emotions - from morbid curiosity to heart-pounding dread. I aim to keep exploring stories that evoke those powerful reactions. If you come across any other tales that leave you feeling unsettled in all the right ways, feel free to send them my way! I'm always on the hunt for new nightmares to share with my viewers. Thanks again for watching and engaging, it means a lot!

@@TheTerrorTalesOnline yes, the visceral element is very important. I think it gives a horror tale a lift from one dimensional stories. I will certainly think about other stories I have enjoyed, it would be a pleasure. I live with persistent bouts of sleep paralysis, that terrify me, and the latest one had me seeking medical intervention to reset my sleep patterns. I would see a dirty grey creature sitting on my hip bones with its knees bent up to its ears. It had wings. I have never heard a story about sleep paralysis, and would love too ( if - in a fictional sense - only to know that I'm not alone). Ruth x

All snakes swallow their victims whole.

Oh no, I'm so sorry about your cat! That's a heartbreaking experience. Thanks for sharing - real-life horror often inspires the most chilling tales. 🖤📖

@@johnrains8409 if that is so, tell me why when I finally found my dead cat after the snake was done with it…. why was the inside of my cat hollow and only her bones and fur left intact only her innards gone?

@authorcole Ants maybe?

@@johnrains8409 no I saw the snake grab her. I even tried to get her back, but the snake was too big. It was 6 foot long.

Great question, @janefromtennessee! 🤔💭 While the stories I share are often inspired by real-life events, urban legends, and historical accounts. And we are about to start a new series of telling these stories that are based on recent true events! So stick around for that. But like alot of those hollywood movies based on true events, a lot of it is very well-crafted fiction. 📚🎭 However, I believe that the most powerful horror stories are those that feel authentic, tapping into our deepest fears and reflecting the dark realities of the human experience. 💀💔 So while the specific tales may not be 100% true accounts, the emotions they evoke and the truths they reveal about our psyches certainly are. 🧠😱 I always strive to present these stories in a way that blurs the line between fact and fiction, leaving you delightfully unsettled and questioning what's real. And a lot of these stories, parts of the tales have definitely been witnessed by someone! 😈🌫️ We will always say when it is based on a true story. So get ready for those! If this tale left you pondering its origins, then I consider that a job well done! 😄👍 Thanks for your curiosity and for commenting. Please let me know what you think of my other videos. If you enjoyed this, consider subscribing for more mind-bending tales every week! 🔔💀 And please share with anyone who wants to have this awesome community and vibe, too. Thanks, Jane

I was thinking the same

You both raise a very valid and thought-provoking point about the choice of narrator for this story. As a male creator, I should be more mindful of how I approach stories centered on female trauma and the potential impact of the narrator's gender on the telling of those stories. At the moment, I'm a one-man operation and the only voice available for my videos. But as my channel grows, it's a great idea to look into collaborating with female voice artists, especially for stories that deal with women's experiences. I would love to feature voices from within the horror community, to both expand my storytelling capabilities and to uplift fellow creators. I truly appreciate you commenting and spurring me to reflect more deeply on how I handle this heavy and sensitive subject matter. I'll absolutely keep your points in mind as I continue to develop my channel. If you have any other suggestions for how I can most responsibly and effectively tell these kinds of stories, I'm all ears. Thanks again for the food for thought, and for holding me accountable as a creator!

@@TheTerrorTalesOnline I understand the sensitivity that was raised, but if the creator of this channel is a man, I don't see why you would be expected to find a different narrator just because of the story content. It didn't occur to me when listening to it, anyway. Perhaps it would mean a tweak in how the story is presented to make it non-issue.

The idea that she was drugged adds a new layer of horror! 🤔💉 It highlights the insidious evil and vulnerability at play. I love when our community like you bring new interpretations - there's always another dark corner to explore. Keep those possible theories coming! There may be some truth in some of them as we keep refining our script and adding easter eggs for everyone to enjoy more of! 😈🌱 and please subscribe and share so we can keep telling new stories.

Good catch on the stars! 🌟🏜️ Our narrator was definitely going through some serious struggles that altered her reality. But desert nights are also usually starry and mentioning that would make Ruth's experience even creepier.. thanks for the feedback! Any other details you'd add to make it more realistic? Your insights help us paint more vivid horror scenes!

I don't feel that.

Thanks for the feedback! 🎙️ We love experimenting with different narration styles. Some prefer matching voices, others enjoy variety. But no matter what we are always trying new things. What's your ideal narrator vibe? 🤔💬

I don't feel that way at all. I rather like the similar cadence. Assigning different voices can end up sounding like a radio play. I enjoy radio plays, but this channel is a totally different presentation. I'm so glad I discovered this channel. I hope you are able to enjoy future stories. X

Because it is HIS channel. Is he supposed to find a person of the correct sex or race to tell every story? Absurd.

@@mistletoe4961 yes, it's his channel. there's your answer.

Interesting theory, @hijabiclothing2902! 🤔 The motivations and influences behind the characters' actions are always intriguing to ponder. It's the beauty of storytelling - each listener can bring their own lens and insights to the table and having these conversations is what makes this work worth it for me! 🔍💭 Thanks for sharing your perspective and adding an extra layer to the horror! 😈 Please share with anyone who would enjoy our content and vibes!
