5 True Scary Stories from Grandparents | Vol 2

That Vietnam war one, Grandpa was a hero indeed. We gotta stop associating heroism with recklessness and blind obedience. He took the logical route of prioritizing preserving lives of his men, not "winning" against the enemy. If that corporal wants to die battling the enemy, then he gets his wish dying firmly on that hill, grandpa just had to be the one to do it quicker. Grandpa is a hero, sadly just not in the way the establishment would want (i.e being another mindless meat to the grinder).

Both my grandparents passed away this fall and this is my first Christmas without them. It’s sad, but it made me smile when I remembered the stories they told. It was always the same exact stories every year (they had long since forgotten they told it) told around the Christmas dinner table as if it was the hottest gossip despite the events happening decades ago.

My uncle was in the Army during WWII. Mom said when he came home, gramma burned all of his Army stuff because he kept having nightmares about the war. My cousin (his daughter) said he had the same nightmare his whole life about what happened to him in Europe during the war. He went out on patrol one night with six other men, but they were all picked off one by one. My uncle was the only one who made it back to base.

Grandparents stories are one of my favourites, so heartbreaking yet interesting

My Grandma once told me her Uncle fought in the War but was taken to a Concentration Camp, and when he was released and returned, he looked as thin as a Skeleton due to starvation. True Story of hers. War can mess you up a lot.

The instant "oh god..." feeling I got when the last story started with a line about the grandpa being a vegetarian

My grandpa was a career Air Force vet and was flying at night in Nevada and suddenly saw the entire sky light up green. This was back in the 50's so likely he saw remnants of nuclear testing but still creepy AF to see the sky go from pitch black to green

I miss my dad and grandparents so much, I always wish I heard their stories when I could appreciate them more. This was nice, thank you

I hit the like button for the “All I want for Christmas is yooooouuuu.” Haha wasn’t expecting that, but I loved it ❤😂

That would be cool to hear old people stories again. All my old people are gone. I am SO OPENED to the old people stories genre. We need old people to tell stories too. Yall get your grandparents on youtube. We need them. Bless old people stories.
