the guy in the first story left the lake as soon as he saw a potential threat of the man, proceeded to stay aware of his surroundings, didnt open the door when he had a bad feeling, had a weapon near himself when his life was at risk and made his presence agressive, made reports to proper authority, spent the next days continuing to stay precautious. smart choice after smart choice lead him to the best case scenario unlike a lot of other people in these stories. be like THAT man

Thank you for making the past eight years of my life filled with fright and entertainment. Never retire!!!

#1 - nice to hear a story where the protagonist has a lick of sense and is properly armed out in the wilderness!

As an old man that wanders the forest alone at night, I wonder if people are terrified of me

The 2nd story is literally terrifying. Imagine what would’ve happened if they didn’t get back to the boat in time

"Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Watch a guy throw a gun into a lake, and you'll never fish at that lake again."

i've been watching your channel for about 5 years now. i don't like listening to other horror story telling channels because the way they try to make their voice sound scary. you tell a story without trying to make it sound scary but it still always frightens me. your good at what you do. i was never into horror until discovering you. i'm a very loyal subscriber, for a long time i would just search you on safari everyday to watch your videos, eventually i downloaded youtube just to watch your videos and get notifications when you uploaded. i watched every single one of your videos, some of them multiple times. i've been watching you since elementary school, im in middle school now and when i get to highschool i hope you'll still be uploading. never quit doing what you do! your amazing.

The second story with the tribal attire was pure terror and adrenaline pumping as when they were running to the boat. Just imaging if the tribe would’ve caught up and captured them

dude in the first story was way too nice I would’ve been shooting the moment I heard the window break lmaoo

The fact that the guy in the first story had a loaded gun near him in the moment is a great example of why you should always have a weapon for defense near you at all times. That is a prime example in the first story. Props to the dude for defending himself.

Story 2 - bro that scream @12:26 terrified the hell outta me! Glad OP, his dad, & few other boys got out of the danger zone!

Ngl, because of Mr. Nightmare I’ve learned so many survival instincts lessons in my life. Just hearing these stories made me realize how scary the world is. This man has really saved my life so many times so thank you so much. Recently had my newborn and can’t wait to show him Mr. Nightmare videos so he can be smart and self aware of this world. Truly man thank you, you have no idea how these stories have changed my life over the years. I remember your very first videos especially them pizza deliveries or them true creepy stories. From the bottom of my heart thank you.

Fishing alone at night is a horror story itself tbh

I like being alone but I'll never hike or go camping unarmed that's just crazy.

Not gonna lie and say I'm a long time viewer for 8+ years, but it's upcoming to me listening to this channel for 4 years. It's been amazing from when I was a little bud during covid to now graduating. Thanks Mr Nightmare!

as mr nightmare gets older his voice ages like wine, love this guy fr been watching him for years now

I truly believe that through mr.Nightmares videos a few sketchy situations were avoided

Not gonna lie - that second story might be the most well-written of any story that Mr. Nightmare ever featured --- It uses constant descriptors like those that poets use, like 'You could feel yourself cutting through the fog' and 'We turned out our lights and the darkness became even thicker than the fog itself.' Whoever wrote this should be a professional writer, if at least part-time (not saying the story was false - I just mean the storytelling uses immaculate pros).

Tbh mr.nightmare is one of some you tubers who are still posting after 6-15 years respect for this guy

The most terrifying thing that ever happened to me was pretty ordinary but it scared the hell out of me when I was little & my dad & some of his buddies were ocean fishing on a boat around Mulege in Mexico. This huge hammerhead shark swam up out of nowhere to check out the boat and then just silently went back down into the water. I was maybe six at the time & it gave me nightmares. To this day, my dad will tease me about it because he said it was only about eight feet long but that's big enough. That's when I knew I'd never go scuba diving in the ocean.

Story 2: my best guess, they unknowingly stumbled into an uncontacted tribe and barely got away with their lives. That’s wild.

I'm out sick today, so this is the perfect time to get cozy in my bed and listen to some scary stories.

As a proud Texan and very avid fisherman and outdoorsman, I am so happy to see some fishing horror stories!

First story: The guy would have not received any warning. Someone breaks into my house at night, that Glock is going to be used.

With all the literal horror going on around our country and in the world right now, I never thought these stories would be a lesser form of horror. Thank you for making these videos, they give a welcome escape into mystery, and they are much appreciated.

I always love a good, “Good guy defeats bad guy because he had a gun,” story. Mr. Nightmare, please do more of those!

No matter how many times I watch Mr. Nightmares videos, they always manage to make me break out in a cold sweat. These stories are no exception, they show us the dark, unexpected sides of nature that we often forget about. Every time I think I've seen it all, Mr. Nightmare brings a new level of horror. Each video is like a dark treasure full of thrills. Thank you for scrutinizing the shadows and entertaining us at the same time!

That second story is honestly chilling. Just imagine if they hadn't made it back to the boat in time! 😱

"Teach a man to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime."

"Catch any good horror stories, Mr. Nightmare?" Mr. Nightmare: "Eh, a few."

Story #2 is downright scary as hell, I would have probably shit myself. Luckily for Monty for having zero recollection while passed out.

Ong this dude is the goat, ive been watching for like 5 years and havnt missed a video for about 3 years. One of the best creators out there

Bro in the third story got technical on his gear, and my brain translated that as the noise the teachers make in Charlie Brown. haha

YOU FINALLY DID IT!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Now all we need is one for Late Night Truck Drivers

1st story is perfect example of mind your own business if he wouldn't have said anything to the guy dumping into the lake he could have reported him without the guy ever even knowing he was seen by someone. Obviously if someones in danger you step in but other than that you mind you own business

I remember when I had to wait months to almost a year for his uploads now it’s every other week. Love you Mr. Nightmare

I’m fishing for you Dad

always trust your gut and never let your guards down fr. your gut is the one who will always safe you from something worse happening to you. god bless these people in the video🙏. my day gets better when Mr. Nightmare uploads a new video, im sure for all of us

The effort on these videos is very appreciated from the background noises to the videos and pictures that set the tone. Thank you 🙏🏼

6 1/2 ft. Medium action spinning rod with 9lb monofilement line using a whacky rig for bass. Very accurate description and a very good choice for bass fishing. That just made that story sound real

1st story of if I saw that guy dumping stuff into the lake and it was red that looked like blood, I’m minding my own business and then I’ll go home and report it I’m not gonna try and call out anyone who could’ve killed someone and is dumping there remains in that lake

This channel makes me a big fan of gun ownership.

The amount of people willing to bumble around by themselves in the middle of nowhere unarmed never ceases to amaze me. Even the first guy who actually owned a gun, left it at home when he was out in the middle of nowhere by himself and just kept it in his closet most of the time. You can't fix stupid.

Ive been a fan for more than 10 years. Possibly your biggest fan. I have all your merchandise and I have loved watching this page evolve. I have to say.... your sound effects and music have gotten SO good. Such an incredible talent. I am so thankful for this channel.

Mr Nightmare never disappoints

always a good day when mr nightmare uploads.

Dear mr. Nightmare I watch your videos and learn from each one. I take them so seriously that once when I was a child and I was home alone, I refused to open the door after the doorbell rang atleast 10 times. Then just to see, I opened the main door leaving the screen door locked and saw a huge man looking the other way at the road. I closed the door really fast and called my dad who lived upstairs. He csme down and I died on the inside when I opened it for him. Turns out it was my uncle with a different haircut 😅😅

For anyone interested- my personal fishing horror story: So I’m writing this in June, this happened April 9th of the same year. I’ve always liked to fish a pond back in the woods of a small nature area and relatively close to a dog park. Rarely see other people back there but when I do they’re always other fisherman or dog walkers. When I got to the spot that day I saw across the lake a small blue tent like shelter that was set up. It is impossible to get to the other side without swimming over or walking through some really thick forest, so this was a bit strange. The other side of the lake sits higher than the fishing access side, so I was looking up at the shelter, and decided to go to the corner of the lake to get as close as possible. I was about 50 yards away. Soon after, a man in a rain jacket and boots comes down the hill and through the trees and walks into the shelter. I think this seems pretty normal, just a poor or homeless man, or even a camper who was just breaking the rules for a night. However, about 10 minutes later a shirtless man emerged from the shelter running down the bank, looking completely different from the man who walked into the shelter. It had to be the same man tho, because the shelter was pretty open and I didn’t hear or see anyone else in there, except for a few times I heard some faint laughing that nearly sounded like a girl or child. Another thing that seemed off, and didn’t fit. But anyway, the man was running on all 4’s, practically scampering through the trees like he was chasing something. Looked very animalistic. I had a very uneasy feeling at this point and stopped fishing to just watch. As he stopped and seemed to catch up to whatever he was chasing, I heard a guttural scream that sounded like someone being attacked. The thing tho, is I couldn’t tell if there was a second person. Could this whole entire thing have been one guy? Was it just some lunatic on drugs? Or did a man living off the grid just hunt down human prey he saw walking next to the lake? Regardless after the scream I packed up and left before risking him noticing me across the lake. I called the police shortly after getting to my car. I went back about two weeks later to see if anything remained, but the trees were far too thick and green now at this point in the year to tell if the shelter was still there. No contact back from the cops, no idea if it’s still there, and no clue what it was. Still so pissed I didn’t start recording that day, never felt a feeling in my gut quite like that one.

I have a fishing horror story I didn’t get any fish

"I'd like to explain myself" explain to the barrel of my little friend

I can't believe how long it's been. I remember listening to your videos when you were still new and I was only 13. My siblings and I would listen to them together. We loved your videos. I've been listening on and off since I was a about 16, after I started working and had no time. I think I might actually go binge watch every video since it's been forever.

Mr Nightmare I swear to you that yesterday, seeing my recommended was full of fishing, and creepy content, I searched true scary fishing stories. watched some of your old ones and others from other channels. then, the day after I search that, you post this. that is wild 🤯

Just as I've picked up fishing again for the first time in 10 years. This is perfect!

Thanks for posting so much Mr. Nightmare, your channel is my favorite. 😁

5:13 jesus man, I was listening with headphones on alone in my apartment and thought someone was entering my room lol.

Mr. Nightmare, I love hearing the sound effects you put into your videos. You add the perfect amount (and choices of sounds) that are spot on to the suspense. It truly brings these stories to life, much like a bonfire experience while out camping. Thank you for your hard work and effort, it really does show. P.s it takes talent to be able to narrate in the way that you do. I enjoy hearing how calm, slow, and the precise delivery you give. Cheers

Dude Mr. Nightmare is spoiling us with these rapid uploads!!

🎉🎉HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. NIGHTMARE!!!🎉🎉 I have been listening & following your work for years and years & I just learned that you & I share the same birthday!!? So groovy!! Maybe that’s why I always love the vibe of your vids😊🧁🎂

Monty is a mess 😂😂

This channel definitely helps you open your eyes when it comes to sketchy stuff always be prepared for dangerous situations like this never know someone’s intentions

Okay, so fishing's off now too.

Mr. Nightmare and Chilling Scares could be brothers they are that great and similar 😂😂👍

#2’s got more holes than swiss cheese.

Story #2: A secluded cove full of bass and pike. Also story #2: The open ocean Bass and pike in the ocean 😑😒

No way bro brought back the best topic ever

First story the story teller is such a boss.

Okay keeping aside the horror factor of the second story, that was so well-written it couldve been from a book. Honestly. That was amazing. I'd never been so fascinated by the wording and by the way the story was told. I was hypnotised. Best story on this channel hands down. Kudos to mr. nightmare and the guy who wrote that. It was fucking awesome.

YOOO we've been wanting fishing stories since forever 🙏 and the man, the myth, the Nightmare himself delivered

I think we can all agree, MrNightmare has kept us paranoid and on our toes for the last ten years.

boy this guy never stops

Is it just me, or does the second story sound like a AI wrote it? I have used lots of AI story generators, and they all write stories in a similar way. For example the word choice of 'hissed', with the AI bots I have used, the word hissed is commonly used, and just the way this 'giangrande' person writes, seems kind of unusual. Also the comment "the joker of the group" in prompts you can describe what you want the story to be about, and who is going to be in it, and give attributes and characteristics to said characters, and I remember in a prompt added that a character was constantly scheming, and guess what the AI gave "the schemer of group" when it was talking about him. Also when a AI talks about characters it usually lists them off, in order of where you put them in the prompt, and I feel like you can sort of tell that with the 2nd story, as well as that the narrative flow just seems off, For example the writer has this sort of drawn out intro, and talks about how his family are big fishers, and how he is going to be the next one, and trails off and says that the story has nothing to do with him, but it is about his dad, and then talks about how this his dad is not easily scared but this scares him. And this writer seems to be completely confident about how much he remembers. He never warns him that he may misremember something. Although maybe that's just me. If you do end reading this comment, first of all, no hate to Mr. Nightmare, he is just doing his job, and makes fantastic videos which I enjoy, all I am saying is that this feels AI generated, so please let me know if you agree or disagree, feedback would be greatly appreciated.

The screams from the second story 👀 😨 one of the best stories yet

Greetings from Iceland, just your favorite Icelander strolling by. Great job as always

Awesome stories. Keep posting.

Dude, I've been watching you since the start of your channel at the ripe ole age of 9. I'm now a senior preparing for her senior prom with your videos in the background. Thank you for making your content so damn memorable man.

The first three stories were the scariest ones. The last one still scary but kind of feels more like a story where someone talks about being robbed. But I got to say this is one of the best videos. All these stories in this video were scary and intense. Got to be one of your best videos.

Bass and pike don’t live in the ocean🙃 they’re freshwater fish

The 2nd story is a concept I’ve never heard before but that’s peak terror.

So calm and relaxed listening to these scary stories at night by myself in my room 😊

Thanks for making my Friday a whole lot better

How is human parts in acid a not so crazy theory? That is crazy and not normal.

My favourite video was one he made where you choose your own path, it was about two boys investigating a house but it’s since been either deleted or put on private hopefully that story comes back 🤞🏼

The last guy sounds to me like a slightly crazed guy, who just found them, was annoyed at the sound they were making. So he left them because he couldn't confront all of them, and then found their car, and just broke it a bit to get back at them.

Gotta keep that Glock under the pillow.

first time commenting after like 7-8 years watching. mr nightmare the goat with the consistent uploads the whole time 🫡

Props to Mr. Nightmare for uploading actually scary stories. No offense to ripshy or Southern Cannibal but these stories actually hit hard.

Lets be fr. This dude's videos keep entertaining us- like he always comes straight to the point, bigggg W🎉

always a good day when mr nightmare uploads

Bro where tf did the 2nd guys in the 2nd story go fishing????

I was camping and fishing on an island on the Potomac River back in the day. That evening, I caught about 10 fish and strung them up on a stringer and tossed them in the river. Early In the morning, I retrieved the stringer to discover in horror that there were only the fish heads and skeletal remains left ☠💀☠

Mr Nightmare I’ve been following you since 2016 and your content is scarier than any horror movie. You’re one of a kind

This is timely because I just went fishing with my father yesterday. It can be eerie to be fishing on a boat in the middle of a lake at the crack of dawn. I once heard what sounded like someone screaming while fishing. Sound can sometimes be carried in strange ways on a lake.

Wow, I remember a Mr. Nightmare had a fishing story a long time ago, glad to hear a new one. Thanks ❤❤❤

Love fishing, it's peaceful

Mr nightmare is the GOAT. I’ve been watching this man since he had under 10K subscribers and I was in 6th grade. Real OG’s remember his FNAF story that’s sadly been deleted. Or his Chuck E. Cheese one.

Perfect timing it's 4:03 am and finding it hard to sleep this is perfect definitely going to fall asleep now thanks Mr nightmare

Goodnight everyone

9 years and Mr. Nightmare still makes me blush 🙂‍↔️🫶

First guy said critters. Anyone who still says critters is automatically an amazing person

You are the best Mr Nightmare! The 2nd story was awesome. Keep up the great work 🙏
