Coming in at number 10 we have Kenneth Parks.
This is the incredible story of a man who who's depression triggered a horrifying sleepwalking
event.
Early in the morning of May, 23rd 1987, this Toronto man got up, got in his car, drove
to 10 miles to the house of his parents in law and attack them.
He killed the mother and but the father survived.
He then handed himself in at the nearest police station.
He had no memory of the event and no motive to do it.
A team of psychologists argued in court that he was sleepwalking and he was acquitted of
murder.
What do you guys think of that?!
Was he really sleepwalking and even if he was, does that make it OK?
Next up at number 9 we have Rachel Ward.
In May 2009, this 18 year old British student got up, put on a jacket and then slept walk
out of her bedroom window and fell 25ft to the ground.
The landed feet first right next to her car and quickly collapsed to the ground.
Amazingly, she was still not fully awake at this point and was only semi concious.
Rachel started to scream for help.
Her parents found her and took her to hospital.
They feared the worse but Doctors were amazed to find she had not broken a single bone in
her body.
What might be even more amazing is that after all of this, she still didnt wake up properly
until the NEXT day.
Im sure that was an interesting catchup chat between her and her parents ...
Coming in at the number 8 spot we have the email.
In 2005, the story emerged of a 44 year old woman who woke up and starting sending emails
in her sleep.
She turned on the computer, logged in and starting sending strange messages to her contacts.
They were written in a mix of upper and lower case letters and made no sense at all.
One read -come tomorrow and sort this hell hole out.
Dinner and drinks.
4pm.
Bring wine and caviar only- , another email simply said -what the …- … this story
helped to popularise the term zzz mailing because so many people were starting to do
it back then.
Whats gonna happen now?
Are we gonna have sleep snapchatting?
Sleep YouTubing?
I hope I dont upload one of these while Im sleepwalking …
At number 7 now we have the Lawn Mower.
In 2005, an incredible story emerged about a woman called Rebekah Armstrong who woke
up one night to find her husband Ian mowing the lawn completely naked.
The noise had woken her up.
She watched in disbelief and decided to not wake him up because she had heard its dangerous
to wake up a sleepwalker.
Instead, she simply unplugged the electric mower.
He then continued to mow the lawn without actually mowing it.
The next day, Ian didnt believe her but quickly accepted it - presumably because theres no
way youd make something up this weird.
Its too weird.
Next up at number 6 we have The Card Game.
Irrepressible87 said that one night when he was 11, his Dad came home late from work and
saw him in his room sitting cross legged on the bed with his fingers spread as if he was
holding cards.
His Dad said hello but then realised the room was dark and his eyes were closed.
Despite this, he still looked at his Dad and then said out loud -every time I play this
game, I get my ass kicked- … as soon as that last word came out, he slumped and collapsed
out of bed and onto the floor.
Kinda makes you wonder how many weird things the Dad didnt see!
Coming in at number 5 now we have Turtles.
Reddit user Amphi Biology29 said that when she first married her husband, she woke up
one night to find him gone from their bed and a metal rattling sound coming from the
bathroom.
She could see through the cracks that the bathroom was pitch black.
She knocked on the door and asked if he was OK and if she could come in, he said yes.
She opened the door to find he had taken the shower curtain down ring by ring and was half
way through taking the blinds down.
She asked him what he was doing and he calmly replied -because the is what ninja turtles
are made from- … it was then and only then that she realised he was sleep walking.
Presumably because ninja turtles are made of you know, turtles.
Coming in at number 4 now, Hannah Abdiel had a terrifying sleepwalking experience and remembers
the nightmare that came with it.
In the dream, she met her doppelganger - a girl who looked just like her but slightly
better in every way.
She looked into Hannahs eyes and said -When you dream, youre in my world.
I want to live in your world.
I want to trade places with you- ... Hannah grabbed her cellphone and began backing out
of her apartment with her eyes on the girl.
Suddenly, a black shape exploded from a closet and she ran out of the front door when she
heard a gravelly voice say -where ya goin Dolly?- the black shape finally caught her,
waking her from her dream.
She found that she had slept walked the whole thing and woke up in a crumpled heap on the
staircase with her cellphone gripped in her hand.
At number 3 now we have the Crystal Ball.
This one comes from Reddit user Stezer who said that he is no stranger to sleepwalking
but one story stands out above the rest.
One night his girlfriend woke up to see him standing on the end of the bed with his hands
around the ceiling light bulb … he was moving them around as if the lightbulb was a crystal
ball.
Needless to say, his girlfriend was freaked out and tried to stop him but instead, he
kept saying -sssshhhh … dont touch it, it will fly away- … that is, insanely weird.
I dont know wether to laugh or cry at that one … maybe both.
Next up at number 2 we have The Cold.
In January 2009, a 51 year old man from Wisconsin slept walked out of his house in sun zero
temperatures and walked into the night.
His body was found the next morning 190 yards from his house, hypothermia was the cause
of death.
Investigators were astounded that someone could sleepwalk so hard that not even deathly
cold can wake them up.
They suspect it may have something to do with the painkillers he was taking at the time
… And finally at number 1 we have The Chef.
Robert Wood is a retired chef who quit his day job and turned it into a night job.
Despite being retired for years, he used to get out of bed, go to his kitchen and prepare
meals.
Stir fries, omelets, spaghetti bolognaise - you name it, he cooks it in his sleep.
This can happen up for 4 or 5 times a night.
At first it started out as a bit of a joke but eventually, the couple became concerned.
They were only getting a few hours of sleep and were also worried that he could start
a fire without realizing.
His wife said that although the food looks amazing, she has never eaten it.
I hate it when food goes to waste so I cant imagine waking up to find that Ive cooked
and wasted half of the contents of my fridge.
Poor Robert.
Well, I for one will be strapping myself to my bed for the rest of my life so that I dont
end up in a part 2 of this video.
Would you guys like a part 2 though?
Let me know, Im Danny Burke and Ill see you in the next video ...
