  1. This poor bucktooth man was just trying to show off some tricks and come into this guy's house to catch a Pikachu on Pokemon Go, but NOOOOOO 911 just HAD to be called...

  2. I don't like the idea of being a 911 operator. If I constantly got calls like these it would really mess with my head. I really liked the voice acting. This was scary

  3. I remember listening to this a long time ago and until I heard the smiling part I got an extreme nostalgia rush when I was a wee edgy preteen. The creepy pasta was fun to listen too again and the voice acting of the written "police call" gets confusing at times because the voice change is almost unnoticeable.

  4. When I was little I wanted to be a 911 operator, things like this make me less interested in that old idea but I imagine that in reality most calls are uneventful. The ending of this felt incomplete in a way. I was expecting it to continue on but then it ended.

  5. That was very nerve wracking because I'ts scary to hear things like that. In our lives, many of us may face something like this and it's weird to hear it happen. But it is interesting because we don't know exactly what is happening to him and then at the end, he yells and we are left wondering what is really going on.

  6. The conversation between the operator and the guy was very interesting and spine-chilling. It was a very good Halloween video. I just honestly want to know wth this creature or person was doing at his house?

  7. This was just more funny than scary. I'm not sure why the creepy guy was doing a hand stand though, he was probably just bored. But if I was the 911 operator I would probably be laughing.

  8. The voice acting was quality and it was a very fitting morning reflection for today. I need something visual to actually get scared because I'm not that imaginative. I remember looking out my window once too.

  9. With only audio it allowed me to visualize this all. However, this ending leaves us with a lot of unanswered questions. This ending was boring to me and had all this build up to go nowhere.

  10. It was amazing to hear the voice acting because it was spoken in a language in which I could hear everything myself since it used imagery. I have never written a script with police operator, but after this, I am thinking about it. It also made me think about all the things that Craddock has been teaching us about script-writing and how objectives are used.

  11. The guy that called 911 was obviously very terrified. The 911 operator tried to clam him down. The man in the house was probably attacked by whoever was watching him. This call was kind of intense to listen to. All operators have gone through something that they will always remember.

  12. Being a 911 operator isn't easy. They hear terrifying things like this often. After a while on the job, they know what to expect. The only problem I had with the audio was that the two voices were kind of difficult to tell apart.
