Hello there readers and happy Monday.
Today, I wanted to give you a brief story about my latest Terror Tube video. You see, it was inspired by real events. If you haven't watched the video, please go check it out. It's nice and creepy and the rest of this post won't make a lot of sense if you don't. Scroll down to the bottom to watch the video then come back here.
Done? Alright. So, here's what really happened. A few months ago, some people came to our door to preach the word to us. I was polite and listened to what they had to say and then nicely ended the conversation. Nothing more than that. A week or so later, they came back while I was in the shower and my wife answered. She told them we were busy and couldn't talk. I mean, she was juggling a 2 year old and an infant at the time. So, technically not a lie.
A few days later, we check the mail only to find a letter written to us from these people. I've never had that happen before. Of course, this was when all of the safer at home orders were starting due to COVID-19, so maybe that's why? Either way, it was strange.
But we threw the letter away and ignored it. I mean, we probably wouldn't hear from them again, right? And if they showed up to the door we could just say we were interested. But then as we sat on the couch watching TV, my wife's phone went off. When she read the text message, things were a bit weird. It was a text from the lady who had knocked on our door. We never gave her our phone numbers. I have no idea how they got her phone number. I tried doing a quick search on the yellow pages and we're not listed. And we rent the house we're living in so we're not listed as owners. It was really creepy. If they had texted me, I wouldn't have been so nice with a response. However, my wife blocked the number and ignored it. We haven't heard from them since.
But the creepy thought of them searching for our phone number after knocking on our door was weird. So weird, that I decided to make a story about it on YouTube. I think my story might end a little bit creepier than the real thing. But you decide. Let me know in the comments below what you would have done if this happened to you. And don't forget to check out the video and subscribe to my channel!
Hello there and happy Tuesday.
Today, I thought I would share 3 of my favorite horror related YouTube channels. If you like scary videos, abandoned places, ghost hunting, and horror movies then you'll love these 3 channels. So, let's get started, shall we?
3. Slapped Ham
Alright, so Slapped Ham doesn't exactly sound like it's a YouTube channel for anything spooky. However, this is a channel filled with creepy and unexplained videos from around the internet. It has everything from creepy Cryptid sightings to creepy security cam footage to keep you up at night. If you're a bit skeptical like me, you'll still enjoy the channel as a lot of the videos are creepy even if they are fake. The real chilling videos are always the ones involving real murders that have gone unsolved or the last known footage of people before they were kidnapped. Those are spooky for sure.
2. Crypt TV
If countdown and list videos aren't your thing and you would prefer to watch horror shorts then Crypt TV is the channel for you. They have a lot of shorts that are all horror related. And the budget/production value of these shorts are amazing. With 3.2 million subscribers, it's not hard to see why. I wouldn't be surprised if they become a full fledged movie studio production one day.
1. Amy's Crypt
Normally in these blog posts, I put these things in no particular order. Just because one channel makes it to number 1, doesn't make it my favorite. However, in this case that's not true. Amy's Crypt is absolutely my favorite horror related YouTube channel. Amy's Crypt follows adventurer Amy as she explores haunted and sometimes abandoned places. She shares the history of the location and even performs paranormal investigations. I think the reason she comes in as my favorite channel is her skepticism. I've seen plenty of paranormal investigation channels who hear one little click from a room and scream ghost and run for their lives. While this might entertain some, I find it ridiculous. Amy's Crypt, however, does not do that. Even when she seemingly has solid evidence of something paranormal, she's quick to express it was probably something else. I share the same mentality and attitude when thinking about the paranormal so I love watching. Plus, the history and abandoned places she adventures to at night are creepy in their own right! If you're a history buff, lover of urban exploration, or the paranormal then this channel is right for you!
Those are my top 3 favorite horror related YouTube channels. Do you have one not on this list? Please, let me know in the comments below. I always love discovering new YouTube channels. And if you are looking for more horror YouTube in your life, give the 3 channels above a subscribe and don't forget to check out my YouTube channel Books by Bond which is the home of my new narrated horror story show Terror Tube.

No, it's not a haunted house on a subway train, although that would be awesome! Actually, it's the name of my YouTube short story series. I've been trying to come up with a name for these short stories for a while and finally I found one that I think works. Of course, I always invite your opinions below. So, introducing the new name of my YouTube series, Terror Tube. You can watch the latest installment below!
Hey there and happy hump day!
Today, I wanted to give you all a little glimpse into my latest narrated short story and what went in to making it. This one in particular was interesting because of the footage I used. We'll get to that, but first I want to issue a challenge.
My YouTube Channel is currently at 24 subscribers. My goal over the next 30 days is to skyrocket that number to 100! And we can do that together. If you haven't already, please head over to my YouTube channel (either search booksbybond or click the video below) and click subscribe. And don't forget to share the channel as well! With your help, I know I can get the sub count up to 100. At 100 subscribers, I'll do some sort of giveaway!
Alright, on to the behind the scenes info. So, as I'm sure you are all aware, we've all been stuck at home the majority of the time these past few weeks. This has made coming up with footage ideas for my stories a challenge. I've got ideas for stories and imagery that would require public places or travel. With that, I had to get creative.
I was looking through some old photos on my hard drive and found some old video from a trip I took with my buddy Josh. We explored an abandoned neighborhood for his YouTube channel Live it Above 100. I had completely forgot about this footage. I had recorded the drive to the neighborhood and even a few laps around the place itself. It was supposed to be b-roll for his channel but he ended up not needing it. And it sparked the story for The Drive! So, not only was I able to write a story because of this extra footage but I had a ready made visual to pair it to.
You can watch The Drive below. And if you like what you hear, please consider subscribing to the channel. Let's get it to 100 subs! Thank you so much for your support.
