Four People Held prisoner in a basement for YEARS by Donnie Birchfield

 

On the surface, Lancaster, South Carolina looked like the perfect small town. A church. A respected pastor. A quiet suburban home. But beneath the façade of serenity… police uncovered a chilling story that shocked the community.

Authorities say Donnie Birchfield Jr., the 35-year-old son of a pastor, kept four people hidden in his basement for years. A husband, his wife, and two younger women allegedly romantically involved with him. One woman has tragically passed away. Her husband, 55 year old Alvin Arnsdoff, was found emaciated at just 70 pounds, barely clinging to life. His sister, Terisa Hinson, claims her brother and the others were forced to live in horrifying conditions: a tent in the basement, a bucket for a bathroom, starvation, and constant threats of violence.

Not everyone agrees. Birchfield’s father, a respected local pastor, insists his son is innocent and that the media has twisted the story. Did the family know more than they’re admitting? Were the parents involved? Or is this a case of sensationalized reporting gone too far?

Police have filed 16 charges, including exploitation of a vulnerable adult, false imprisonment, domestic violence, and financial crimes. They allege Birchfield stole around $14,000 from the couple while controlling nearly every aspect of their lives. But this remains an active investigation, and many questions still linger.

What really happened inside the Birchfield basement? How could such alleged abuse go unnoticed for years in a pastor’s home? And who should be held accountable—the son alone, or the entire family?

Watch until the end as we explore the allegations, the unanswered questions, and the disturbing mystery of Lancaster’s basement of horrors.

Dating an AI Girlfriend: The Perfect Narcissist?

 

Can people really fall in love with AI? From chatbot romances and AI girlfriends to the psychology of narcissists and emotional mirroring, discover why AI love feels real — and what it means for the future of relationships.

Dating apps have always had a reputation for being unfulfilling, and potentially dangerous, but what happens when your “perfect match” isn’t even human? We’ve entered an era where people are not just swiping right on Tinder or Bumble — they’re swiping on chatbots. Stories of marriages to AI girlfriends, romantic entanglements with virtual boyfriends, and even tragic cases where fantasy meets reality have flooded the media. The rise of AI romance raises some fascinating questions: is this real love, a symptom of loneliness, or just people falling for the most sophisticated narcissist?

The psychology of falling in love with AI is both fascinating and unsettling. Artificial intelligence doesn’t actually feel emotions, but it can simulate them so convincingly that it mirrors real human intimacy. Psychologists call this “emotional mirroring,” the same tactic used by narcissists and sociopaths to create the illusion of love. A human narcissist uses charm and manipulation to gain control, but an AI chatbot does it because that’s how it’s programmed. It remembers every detail you share — from your favorite childhood snack to your biggest fear — and responds with flawless empathy 24/7. For many, that feels comforting. For others, it’s terrifying, because falling for an AI is a lot like falling for a digital sociopath: it never admits it’s wrong, never tires, and never truly feels.

So, should you date an AI? The answer depends on your perspective. Unlike a human narcissist, an AI girlfriend or AI boyfriend won’t cheat, ghost you, or ruin Thanksgiving dinner. It’s like a 24/7 emotional concierge, always ready with compliments that trigger the same dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin your brain releases during human romance. That chemical loop can make chatbot romance feel real, even if it’s just clever coding. Whether that’s healthy love or emotional catfishing depends on how you see it. If it makes you happy and doesn’t harm anyone else, maybe it’s harmless. Just don’t mistake your digital soulmate for a licensed therapist — even the most charming AI isn’t a substitute for professional mental health care.

WARNING - Rabbits with tentacles and horns growing out of their heads spotted in Ft. Collins, Colorado

 

What sounds like something straight out of The Last of Us, the residents of Fort Collins Colorado have been noticing something quite strange in recent weeks. As if you needed any additional nightmare fuel to keep you up at night, worrying about the impending apocalypse, there have been mutated rabbits with what people have described as tentacles, spikes, or horns growing from their heads. 

One resident described it as black quills or black toothpicks sticking out all around its mouth. While people may have all sorts of theories, interestingly enough, this is actually caused by a virus. These rabbits are infected by the cottontail papilloma virus (crpv), which is also known as Shope Papilloma Virus (spv). 

Colorado Parks and Widlife are encouraging anyone who sees infected rabbits to stay away and do not touch them. They don't believe that the virus can move to different species, but there's no reason to take any unnecessary chances, unless you're interested in being patient number one. Don't try to capture them, or come into contact with them in any way. 

The virus is spread mainly through tick or mosquito bites, and is rarely transferred through direct contact of the rabbits. There are currently no known cases of insects infecting people through a bite. The virus starts with red, raised spots on the skin that eventually turn into wart-like tumors. These are what eventually turn into the horns or tentacles that people report seeing. According to the experts, they say that it's not necessarily dangerous for the animal unless it develops around the eyes, ears, and mouth preventing them from seeing, hearing or eating. 

It's believed that rabbits infected with this virus are the source of the legend of the Jackalope, which is American folklore about a wild rabbit with antlers or horns. The myth has been perpetuated with taxidermy mounted rabbits with deer antlers, wild hunting stories, and of course Dave Coulier in the 90's.

Bob Saget's Ghost is SHOCKED by some of your comments

 

I've only recently started posting videos to my YouTube channel again, but the views and comments from my previous uploads have continued to come in while I was away. I thought I would take the opportunity to have some fun responding to some of your wild comments during that time!

I respond to comments on everything from the movie Jack Frost, Jim and Pam's relationship from The Office, and your conspiracy theories about the death of Bob Saget. There are many, many of you who believe that his passing was not an accident and you haven't been shy about sharing who you thought did it!

What did the DNA test reveal about Natalia Grace?

 

For years Michael and Kristine Barnett claimed that their Ukrainian adopted daughter with dwarfism was an adult sociopath pretending to be a child so that she could get adopted. A plot straight out of the horror film, The Orphan. In the years since, the truth has come out bit by bit. 

The Barnetts have skirted charges of neglect and abandonment after using the courts to legally change her age, rendering the prosecutor's office unable to bring up evidence regarding her age during their trial. 

Now that the legal proceedings have completed, and the gag orders are no longer in effect, Natalia has been telling her story in a three part series that you can stream on HBO Max, The Curious Case of Natalia Grace. 

A DNA test was administered and filmed in the documentary. What truth did it reveal? I talk about that here:
