00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.700
I wanted to make this video a long time ago in like February

00:00:02.980 --> 00:00:07.830
But I thought it would be better if I waited until Halloween since it happened on that night and besides

00:00:07.830 --> 00:00:09.360
It would totally make a good special

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:12.450
I was originally gonna call this video Halloween kidnap

00:00:12.450 --> 00:00:19.529
But YouTube's BOTS have been going crazy over my titles lately apparently YouTube doesn't like it when people donate blood

00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:21.600
So we'll just call this video

00:00:22.060 --> 00:00:25.109
surprise Halloween adoption okay now

00:00:25.109 --> 00:00:29.729
I have to give credit to Secondplayer2P for that suggestion. So with all that said, he we go.

00:00:29.729 --> 00:00:34.900
Since we are sticking to a spooky theme, you can call me pumpkin spice instead of Shgurr (sugar.)

00:00:34.900 --> 00:00:37.580
HMM? HMMMM? See what I did there?

00:00:37.580 --> 00:00:41.920
Ever since I bought myself one of these dino costumes, by the way, I've totally been having a blast.

00:00:42.540 --> 00:00:45.840
Halloween is great when you are little. You get to stay up past your bedtime

00:00:45.870 --> 00:00:49.649
Just to get free candy your parents have no control over. I took it very

00:00:50.170 --> 00:00:54.239
Seriously on that day, I worked harder than I ever did during school

00:00:54.239 --> 00:00:58.139
I always made sure to go straight to the house is serving up full-size candy bars

00:00:58.449 --> 00:01:02.549
Not the ones that gave out toothbrushes and fruit. Who does that?

00:01:02.609 --> 00:01:03.059
Hey.

00:01:03.059 --> 00:01:05.219
If you don't want to play the game right, stay in your house.

00:01:05.460 --> 00:01:10.650
Ain't nobody wants a health snack on Halloween and when it came to those bowls that said "take one" I made sure to take a

00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:12.840
handful, maybe two

00:01:13.030 --> 00:01:18.119
Maybe the whole bowl. I mean if you're too lazy to give out the candy. I'm too lazy to follow your rules.

00:01:18.670 --> 00:01:21.780
By the age of twelve my love for Halloween started to go away

00:01:21.780 --> 00:01:26.790
I have like a million siblings so of course they get all the attention with their adorable faces

00:01:26.950 --> 00:01:30.810
while once adults saw my ugly old mug they were like *boom*

00:01:31.869 --> 00:01:33.869
Got tired of their disappointed faces

00:01:33.909 --> 00:01:35.909
So I just stopped going.

00:01:35.979 --> 00:01:42.179
the last few Halloween's I've been in charge of handing out the candy my favorite thing to do is to look through the people and

00:01:42.180 --> 00:01:45.779
Wait for kids to almost ring the doorbell and open the door up before they could

00:01:46.119 --> 00:01:48.179
and scaring them in the process. What? Its funny.

00:01:48.369 --> 00:01:55.049
Is it weird that I had never gone to a haunted house before I went up to college

00:01:55.380 --> 00:01:59.920
My roommates took me to this spooky looking house in the woods

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:01.780
And I was super excited. *whispers* My body is ready

00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:10.960
My experience was..Well, it was just kind of awkward people jumping out of bushes and poking you with sticks as you walk through a hall, none of

00:02:10.980 --> 00:02:12.550
it was really scary to me.

00:02:12.550 --> 00:02:22.060
But there was a tunnel made of this pink foamy stuff that you had to crawl through, AND I'm super claustrophobic so I guess that counts

00:02:23.740 --> 00:02:26.120
*panicc* THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN! THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN!!

00:02:27.250 --> 00:02:29.250
[Random girl] Hey, HURRY UP!

00:02:29.650 --> 00:02:33.150
That same year my roommates took me to a costume party, and

00:02:33.250 --> 00:02:36.869
because I didn't have the money to buy one, I decided to make my own costume

00:02:38.170 --> 00:02:40.380
*cough* Poor college student

00:02:40.380 --> 00:02:44.789
so I took a black hoodie, black fabric, and some red duct tape and I made a Toothless costume.

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:46.360
I'd say it looked pretty good.

00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.499
it was kind of a big mistake to go to the party though because I

00:02:49.750 --> 00:02:52.410
didn't know anyone, so I was very socially awkward.

00:02:52.410 --> 00:02:56.249
And I get really nervous about meeting new people.. (don't say anything weird)

00:02:56.650 --> 00:03:03.539
Luckily my anxiety subsided after a few minutes when this guy in a Deadpool costume came up to me spewing quotes from the movie

00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.120
He truly believed he was Deadpool.

00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:11.820
And he started bugging everyone at the party. At least I could say I wasn't that guy this year.

00:03:11.820 --> 00:03:16.889
I'm staying with my family, so I'll probably wear my Dino costume to give up candy my family

00:03:16.890 --> 00:03:21.899
However will pass by a house while they're trick-or-treating that holds quite this story

00:03:22.239 --> 00:03:24.479
This story involves me and my older brother

00:03:24.670 --> 00:03:31.410
it kind of haunted me for quite some time because I did what my parents told me not to do, TRUST A STRANGER.

00:03:31.780 --> 00:03:34.860
I was 8 and my brother was 10 at the time

00:03:34.860 --> 00:03:39.419
It was a Halloween just like any other. My mom made me a Statue of Liberty costume

00:03:39.420 --> 00:03:43.170
and my brother went as a doctor my dad walked with us as we

00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:47.970
Trick-or-treated after quite a few houses we walked down to a nearby street as a kid

00:03:47.970 --> 00:03:53.459
I called this street coyote cul-de-sac because on one side there were houses and on the other...

00:03:53.799 --> 00:03:59.039
Was a patch of forest that coyotes would hide in during the day. there were a lot of lost

00:03:59.769 --> 00:04:03.089
pets in the neighborhood. We made it to the first house on a street

00:04:03.130 --> 00:04:08.790
We walked up to the door, where two ladies were speaking to each other. Their conversation was taking too long,

00:04:08.790 --> 00:04:10.320
And I was pretty impatient.

00:04:10.320 --> 00:04:15.749
I looked back at my dad because I wanted to move on. He was standing on the street during that time

00:04:15.750 --> 00:04:17.820
He waved his hand telling me stay there

00:04:18.840 --> 00:04:25.789
The next thing I knew the lady just ran inside and the old lady then turned her attention to us; "What nice..

00:04:26.669 --> 00:04:34.669
Costumes you have on." she said. We said "trick-or-treat", but she didn't hand us any candy. She just kind of stared at us and said

00:04:35.340 --> 00:04:37.699
"Why don't you two come on inside?"

00:04:37.699 --> 00:04:45.589
I was hesitant at first, but I thought maybe there was like a haunted house, or better candy inside, or something. We walked inside.

00:04:46.169 --> 00:04:48.169
Her house wasn't decorated.

00:04:48.539 --> 00:04:50.929
She put the candy down

00:04:51.660 --> 00:04:54.859
Why were we there again? She said nothing?

00:04:56.400 --> 00:04:59.539
She locked the door. It was as if the world stood still.

00:04:59.699 --> 00:05:04.129
I could only hear the sound of my own breathing when I was disrupted by a loud sound

00:05:05.099 --> 00:05:07.429
It was my brother. [Shannon's Brother] "LET US OUT! We need to go!

00:05:07.430 --> 00:05:12.889
She blocked the whole door with her body. My brother knew he had to get both of us out as fast as he could.

00:05:12.889 --> 00:05:18.408
He went into total fight mode. I started punching and kicking the woman. "Let us out. Let us out.

00:05:18.409 --> 00:05:22.819
Let us out." [Old Woman] No, you are staying here. You aren't leaving my sight.

00:05:22.949 --> 00:05:28.098
She wouldn't tell us why she kept us captive in her house. My brother wasn't going to give up though.

00:05:28.380 --> 00:05:34.759
He kept pushing back. However, he was no match for her size. If my brother wasn't able to get past her,

00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:39.649
I definitely couldn't. It was as if the world outside was now closed.

00:05:40.259 --> 00:05:42.259
I started having Stockholm Syndrome

00:05:42.539 --> 00:05:47.119
This is my life now. I'll never see my mom.. my dad.. my brothers... ever again.

00:05:48.150 --> 00:05:50.150
[Shannon's Brother] "Why aren't you helping?"

00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:52.639
i    c a n ' t .

00:05:53.409 --> 00:05:57.299
Everyone went silent. The old lady opened the door, and my dad said

00:05:58.270 --> 00:05:59.340
[Shannon's Dad] "Uhh,  excuse me.. Those

00:05:59.340 --> 00:06:05.340
are my kids." The old lady, now irritated, about my brothers punches and kicks stated

00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:07.919
[Old Woman] "Isn't that your wife in the bathroom?"

00:06:09.870 --> 00:06:10.370
W0T.

00:06:10.370 --> 00:06:14.370
The lady she was talking to asked her to use her bathroom.

00:06:14.770 --> 00:06:22.199
She mistakenly thought that was our mother and decided to take it upon herself to keep us in the house until she was done.

00:06:22.990 --> 00:06:24.620
Uhh, no, that's not my wife.'

00:06:24.620 --> 00:06:25.120
..........oh.

00:06:26.440 --> 00:06:29.880
Yeah, so that probably wasn't as scary as you might think but those few minutes

00:06:29.880 --> 00:06:36.600
we were held captive in her house felt like an eternity. It gave me some perspective though, the two reactions; my Stockholm Syndrome

00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:42.059
And my brother's fight-or-flight response. Kids get snatched up all the time, and most of the time,

00:06:42.060 --> 00:06:47.160
they're never found. To the kids that think having your parents coming along with them to Trick-or-Treat is lame

00:06:47.650 --> 00:06:49.739
[Commercial] Stop it. Get some help.

00:06:49.740 --> 00:06:55.560
If that house was some kind of kid snatching house, and my dad wasn't there, my parents wouldn't even know where to start looking.

00:06:56.100 --> 00:07:00.689
I know this story was a silly misunderstanding, but please, please be safe out there.

00:07:00.690 --> 00:07:04.649
I personally loved Halloween. All the costumes, and decorating.

00:07:04.890 --> 00:07:10.290
I don't like candy corn though. You guys are crazy.

00:07:10.290 --> 00:07:12.509
Down below you'll see a collab I did over on my deviantART

00:07:12.510 --> 00:07:17.940
I said send me all your OCS and Halloween costumes, so I put as many as I could in it

00:07:17.940 --> 00:07:19.940
It's a little crowded, because I got over

00:07:20.200 --> 00:07:23.759
200 entries,, but I hope you guys enjoy it anyway.

00:07:24.760 --> 00:07:27.930
I'll do more of these in the future so if I forgot to add yours, or

00:07:27.930 --> 00:07:33.389
yours didn't get in.. It's okay, because there's a future people!

00:07:33.390 --> 00:07:39.000
Alright. So, I hope you guys enjoyed this video and please be safe. It's Halloween, have fun. Goodbye.
