  Speaker 1: Bert, it's cold in here. There must be some bukuru
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: in the atmosphere. You should see it on his face.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Hi guys! Welcome back to the Haunted Estate where we
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: dive deep into the most chilling stories that will make
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: you grateful for your heated blanket and your hot cocoa.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I am your host Selena Myers and buckle up because
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: today we are exploring a winter wonderland that is more nightmare...
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: When you think of winter, maybe you imagine cozy nights,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: festive lights and Instagram worthy snow scenes. But for some
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: poor souls throughout history, winter is not just a season.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: It's a merciless killer.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: It's cold.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: It's cold here. It's minus 7 today.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yeah.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Well, today we are going to talk about disasters so brutal,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: so bone-chillingly horrific, that they will make your winter blues
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: look like a tropical vacay.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I like those. Yeah.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Today we're diving into deadly December. A tour through five
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: winter catastrophes that prove Mother Nature doesn't mess around. And
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: trust me, these aren't your grandmother's winter survival stories. These
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: are tales of survival, desperation, and sometimes the absolute darkest
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: side of human endurance.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Did your parents always tell you they walked 10 miles
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: both directions uphill to school in the snow?
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Naked, uphill, no shoes, no socks, through the snow, no coat, miniskirt, yep.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: They're full of bullshit, but these stories aren't. Oh, these aren't.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Before we begin our frostbitten journey, do me a favor,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: smash that like button, subscribe to my channel, and ring
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: that notification bell. Now grab your warmest blanket, crank up
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the thermostat, and prepare to feel simultaneously horrified and thankful
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: because hearing these stories, your worst winter day is gonna
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: start to feel like a five-star experience.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Can we do that? One of those five-star experiences?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I would really like to go somewhere warm immediately. You
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: wanna go Vegas right now? Look, we'll finish. First up,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the Donner Party, a cannibalistic winter nightmare.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: All right, let's begin with a winter disaster that makes
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: The Shining... Look like a pleasant family skiing trip, okay?
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: The Donner Party Tragedy. This isn't just a story about
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: people getting lost in the snow. Oh, no. This is
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: a story of ambition, starvation, and, yeah, cannibalism. Yum, keto.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: This story is going to make your stomach turn and
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: your skin crawl, all right? Now picture it. It's 1846.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Manifest Destiny is all the rage, and a group of
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: 87 pioneers decide that they're going to make the epic
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: journey from Illinois to California.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Ooh.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: That's a journey.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: That's a walk. Leading the pack are two families, the
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Donners and the Reeds. Now, they are basically the Oregon
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Trail version of influencers. They have big dreams, big wagons,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: and absolutely zero clue of the nightmare that is waiting
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: for them in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The hills have eyes.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: The hills have eyes. I'm scared. I don't want to
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: know what's going to happen.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Dun, dun, dun.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Dun, dun, dun. George Donner and James Reid weren't your
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: average pioneers. These guys were the startup entrepreneurs of their time,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: always looking for the next big shortcut. And boy, did
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: they find a shortcut. The Hastings Cut-Off. A supposed faster
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: route to what is about to become their ultimate worst decision.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: You never take the shortcut.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Never take the shortcut.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: You don't take the shortcut.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: It's not worth it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: It's a hook. It's a movie hook.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Yes! You're gonna die. The journey started like most epic adventures,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: full of hope, excitement, and way too much optimism. Families
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: packed their wagons with everything from cast iron skillets to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: family bibles, dreaming of a fertile California farmland.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Ooh. I like farms.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: You like fertile farmland, don't you?
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: You got a lot of fertile farmland here.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of mine. I'm a big fan
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: of it, yes.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: You're gonna plant an orchard. Yes. And what are you
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: going to call it?
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know yet.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Guys, if you have a good idea for a name
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: for an orchard for us, not spooky related at all,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Adam related, drop it in the comments.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Drop it in the comments. Let me know what you
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: would call your orchard. It's not specifically a fruit, an
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: apple orchard or a peach orchard. It's just going to
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: be every type of everything. All the fruits. So don't
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: specify it to a single fruit, please.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: You know what would be funny? You could do a
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: play on like LGBTQA, but it's like all the different fruits. Yeah.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Okay guys, now check this out. I love working with

  Speaker 1: you so much, Skims, for sponsoring the show. Check it.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: You won't regret it. Welcome back. Let's jump into it.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: So guys, these kids were probably singing pioneer songs. Adults
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: were trading stories around the campfires, totally unaware that they
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: were heading straight into one of the most horrific survival
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: stories in American history. But here's where things go from here.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: family road trip to absolute horror show. The Hastings Cut-Off,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: a total disaster instead of saving time, it added about
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: 125 miles to their journey and consumed precious weeks during
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the most critical traveling season. Their wagon train was slowed
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to a crawl, crossing salt flats that destroyed Reagan wheels,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: exhausting their oxen, and burning through supplies faster than a
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: California wildfire.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: That's fast. That shit's dry.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: By the time they reached the base of the Sierra
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Nevada in late October, winter was not just coming. It
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: had arrived, and with a vengeance! Snow was already accumulating
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: in massive amounts, and these pioneers were woefully unprepared. We're
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: talking about people who thought that their wool coats and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: pioneer spirits would be enough to survive what would become
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: one of the coldest and most brutal winters on record.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: We don't like those.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: No, I kind of want one, though, because I'm inside
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the house.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Ugh. Not cold, just snow.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to go sledding. The first major snowstorm
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: hit in November, trapping the wagon train near Truckley Lake,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: now known as Donner Lake. Imagine being stuck in a
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: place where temperatures can plummet to minus 40 Fahrenheit, with
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: winds that could slice through flesh like a knife.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Like Canada? That's Canada.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: This is just sounding like.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Home, isn't it?
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Their initial makeshift camps became permanent winter prisons, with crude
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: cabins and tents littered Serving as their only protection against
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: nature's most brutal assault, food became the ultimate challenge, and
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: they had killed most of their oxen earlier in the journey,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and their stored supplies were dwindling faster than their hope.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Hunting became nearly impossible with constant snowstorms, families huddled together
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: watching children grow thinner, listening to stomachs that growled louder
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: than the winter winds. Oh, that's sad.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's nothing like being cold and hungry.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Cold and hungry?
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: What's that? That's like icy hangry.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: And you'd last so long because you have like unlimited
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: water because of the snow, but the water's cold. Yeah.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Ugh. Not cold.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: By mid-December, the situation had become truly desperate. And when
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I say desperate, I mean desperato. The first recorded instances
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: of cannibalism began, initially with consuming those who had already
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: died from cold and starvation. But as the weeks turned
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: into months and hope became nothing more than a distant memory,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: some of the members of the party made choices that
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: would haunt them forever.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Would you eat me if we were freezing cold and
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: ran out of food?
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: No.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: And I was dead?
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: You were dead?
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I'd start on your thick thighs.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: My thick thighs?
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Would you eat me?
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: No. I would preserve your body and starve because I
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: love you so much. Adam, stop.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Would you eat me?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: No. Adam, would you eat me? No, you're beautiful and
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I would keep your body in pristine condition.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: You're a liar. What part would you eat first?
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: No. Eat me. No. Eat me. No.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Promise if we're in this situation, you will eat me.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Only if you're alive.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: What do you mean I'm alive?
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Carry on. What the fuck?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: The most infamous rescue attempts came in multiple waves. The
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: first relief party reached the survivors in February 1847, finding
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: a scene that looked more like a horror movie set
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: than a pioneer settlement. Of the 87 original members, only
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: 48 would survive, a survival rate that seems almost miraculous
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: considering the circumstances. But survival came at a cost, a psychological, spiritual,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: and very literal human cost that that would echo through generations.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Some survivors never spoke about their experience again, carrying the
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: trauma of those winter months like a silent, frozen wound.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: The Donner Party was not just a tragedy. It was
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: a stark reminder of human vulnerability in the face of
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: nature's most unforgiving conditions.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Holy moly.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: That reminds me of that movie from way back. Oh,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I'm going to age myself right here. But a plane crashes.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: And it's like super snowy and icy and they start eating. people.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: They start eating the dead. Somebody in the comments hook
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: me up with the name of that movie.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: At least they wouldn't rock because it's cold. I don't
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: know why I'm hungry. This is the Children's Blizzard, a
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: frozen classroom of whores. Just when you thought the Donner
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Party was the coldest, most heartbreaking winter story out there,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: hold on to your thermal underwear, because the Children's Blizzard
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: of 1888 is about to make your blood run colder
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: than the temperatures that day. January 12th, 1888 started like
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: any other winter day on the American frontier Midwest. Midwest
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: schoolchildren bundled up in layers, trudging through snow-covered prairies of Nebraska, Kansas,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and the Dakotas. Little did they know that they were
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: walking into what would become one of the most devastating
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: meteorological massacres of American history.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Meteorological? I think I just messed it up too.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: It's okay, we leave it.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to be smart and I just pulled a dumb.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: The morning began with deceptive warmth. Temperatures had actually risen
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: to near spring-like conditions. We're talking 30 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Farmers were outside doing chores without heavy coats. Kids were
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: playing during school recess. without even wearing mittens. It was
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the kind of day that made people think, hey, maybe
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: winter is just finally giving us a little bit of
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: a break.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I like those Indian summers.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Can you call those that anymore?
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: You can't say that anymore, can you?
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: What do we call them now?
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I apologize.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: No, that's what it.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: You can't... We call them indigenous summers now?
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Becca, can you figure out if people
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: are still doing that? So guys, spoiler alert. Winter was not...
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: giving anyone a break. Around midday, the sky transformed from
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a mild winter blue into something straight out of a
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: gosh dang horror movie. A massive arctic cold front, and
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: when I say massive, I mean apocalyptic, came screaming across
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the plains like a vengeful ice deity. Temperatures plummeted from
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: those in the mid-30s and 40s to double-digit negatives in minutes.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: We're talking a temperature drop of nearly 50 degrees in
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: less than 15 minutes. Who's recording this? How do we
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: know this is real? How do they know? They're like, wow,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: that really feels 50 degrees colder than it was. Moving on.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Visibility disappeared faster than your hopes and dreams. Winds reached
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: up to 60 miles per hour, creating a whiteout so
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: thick that you couldn't see your own hand in front
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: of your face. Imagine being a small child, suddenly surrounded
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: by a wall of white so dense it might as
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: well be a solid object. No landmarks, no direction, just pure,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: terrifying white.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: That's probably, they're probably at the ice wall of the
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: flat earth.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: You're having a time today, sweetie.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, sorry. Is the earth round or flat? I'm not sure.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Adam, don't! You know it's round!
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Trying to hit the other algorithm here, too.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: And here's where it gets truly horrifying. Many of the
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: rural schoolhouses were one-room structures, often miles from the nearest neighbor.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: When the blizzard hit, teachers faced an impossible choice. Keep
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the kids inside or send them home.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Send them home. Send them home. They love going home. Oh,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: this isn't like canceled buses or anything. This is more serious.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Some chose to keep the children in the schoolhouse, which
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: would prove to be a life-saving decision. Other idiots.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Released their students, essentially sentencing many to a frozen death march.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Take the story of Etta Shattuck, a 16-year-old teacher in
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Dakota Territory. When the storm hit, she made the gut-wrenching
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: decision to lead her students to what she thought was safety.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Imagine being a teenage girl responsible for keeping a large
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: group of children alive in conditions that would make the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: polar explorers think twice.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Man, props to her.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, by the time they were found, Etta and
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: several of her students had frozen to death, a mere
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: yards from potential shelter.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: No way. The story- Could you imagine almost making it?
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Like, it was just white and like- And crawling.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Through the snow frozen.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: And with all those kids.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, so sad.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: The stories of survival are nothing short of miraculous and
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: absolutely heartbreaking. Some children survived by digging into haystacks. Others
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: were found frozen in bizarre positions, having tried desperately to
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: create some form of shelter. Parents who, when searching for
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: their children, often became victims themselves, creating an entire family
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: of tragedies in one single afternoon. In total, approximately 235
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: people died during the children's blizzard. with nearly half being children.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Many died just yards from their home or in schoolhouses,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: lost in a murderous void. Farmers found entire families frozen together,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: huddled in final, desperate embraces. What makes this blizzard truly
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: horrifying isn't just the death toll, but how quickly civilization
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: can collapse when nature decides to throw a tantrum. One moment,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: you're a schoolteacher, wondering what's for lunch. And then next,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: you're fighting a snow monster that wants nothing more than
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: to erase your existence. The aftermath changed everything. Frontier schools
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: developed emergency protocols. Families learned to build stronger storm shelters.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: It was a brutal education paid for in human lives.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Most of the innocent children who were simply just trying
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: to get home on what seemed like an ordinary winter day.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: So... This is one of those situations where people are
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: online complaining about the state of 2024. You have never
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: had a more comfortable time in your life to live
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: in a... Okay, some people aren't living in a home.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I'm very sorry. But for the most part, some people
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: are at home with their heat cranked to 74. It's
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: minus 50 out and they're complaining.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I always like will have like a butt hurt moment
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and then I look at all the things are and
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: then I'm like, I need to show gratitude. I have
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: so much and I am so blessed. Yes. And you know,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: they say that if you have a roof over your
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: head and food in your stomach, you're doing better than like,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: like it's more than 50% of people in the world.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: It's like 80% of people in the world, which is devastating.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: It's insane. Devastating. I don't know if it's 80, but
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: could be. If that's that number, we need to do
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: an episode on that because that's insane. What's the number?
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: It's sad.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: That's so sad. Next up, we have White Friday, the
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: frozen battlefield of 1916. The White Friday avalanches of 1916
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: weren't just a natural disaster. They were a... This word
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: keeps popping up.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Meteorological.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: They were a meteorological murder weapon.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Meteorological.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Meteorological murder weapon in the middle of World War I,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: turning the pristine Alpine mountains into a frozen tomb for
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: thousands of soldiers. The Italian-Austrian front during World War I
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: were talking about the Dudolomite Mountains. A view so breathtakingly
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: beautiful it looks like something from a postcard. Except this
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: postcard was written in blood and ice. These weren't just mountains.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: They were vertical battlefields where soldiers were fighting an enemy
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: more terrifying than any human opponent. World War I was
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: already a nightmare of unprecedented brutality. Trench warfare had turned
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: combat into a meat grinder of human suffering. But in
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the Alpine regions, soldiers were fighting a war that defied
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: every conventional understanding of battlefield combat. These are troops positioned
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: on mountain peaks, thousands of feet above sea level, where
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the enemy wasn't just the opposing army, but it was
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the mountain itself. December 1916 was particularly beautiful.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Brutal!
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Not beautiful. The Alps experienced one of the most extreme
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: winter seasons in recorded history. Snow wasn't just falling. It
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: was accumulating in massive, unstable layers that would transform into
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: deadly avalanches with the slightest disturbance. Snow masses that could
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: easily weigh thousands of tons, ready to be triggered by
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: anything from a loud noise to a sudden temperature change.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: On December 13th, the mountains decided to unleash absolute hell.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: A series of massive avalanches swept through both Austrian and
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Italian positions, creating what would become known as White Friday,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: a day that would make the term winter warfare sound
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: like a grotesque understatement. The Austrian Alpine Corps were particularly devastated.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Imagine being a soldier already exhausted from weeks of high-altitude combat,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: freezing in trenches carved into solid ice and rock. when
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: suddenly the entire mountainside decides to consume you. In the
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Veltillian region, entire military encampments were wiped out in seconds.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: We're talking about hundreds of soldiers literally erased from existence,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: buried under millions of tons of snow and ice. One
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: of the most horrifying avalanches sites was the Monte Marmolta,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: known as the Queen of the Dolomites. On this particular day,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: the mountain lived up to its royal title, by executing
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: a mass execution of soldiers. An estimated 300 Austrian troops
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: were buried alive when massive amounts of avalanche swept through
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: their positions. Not killed in combat, not fighting heroically, simply
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: erased by the mountain's indifferent fury. The Italian positions weren't
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: spared either. In the Adamello region, entire battalions found themselves
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: trapped between the human conflict and nature's most brutal weapon.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Soldiers who survived initial avalanches faced even more terrifying challenge.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Rescue was nearly impossible, and in these conditions, many would
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: die a slow, agonizing death beneath from exposure, their bodies
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: never to be recovered. Military commanders of the time were
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: essentially playing a deadly game of chess with the mountains
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: as their board. They understood that the artillery fire, troop movements,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: and even the sound of soldiers talking could potentially trigger
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: these frozen time bombs. Some estimates suggest that many more
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: soldiers died from avalanches during this period than direct combat.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: The numbers were absolutely staggering, and on that single day,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: White Friday, an estimated 10,000 soldiers died. Not from bullets,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: not from bayonets, but from snow. Pure, white, merciless snow.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: To put that in perspective, that is like wiping out
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: an entire military regiment in a matter of minutes with
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: zero resistance and zero warning. Survivor accounts are nothing short
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: of nightmarish. Soldiers described hearing a low rumble like a
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: distant thunder. before entire mountains transformed into liquid death. Some
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: described the avalanches as moving so fast that there was
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: no time to run, no time to hide, just a
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: white wall of destruction, consuming everything in its path. The
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: most horrifying part? Many of these bodies were honestly never recovered.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: The mountains kept their secrets, with the soldiers becoming permanent
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: residents of these icy tombs. Decades later, the glaciers would
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: slowly recede, some of these frozen soldiers being discovered. Perfect
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: human time capsules preserved in ice, a stark reminder of
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: nature's indifference to human conflict. World War I changed warfare forever,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: but the White Friday avalanches revealed a deeper truth. In
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: the face of true nature power, human conflicts seem pretty
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: pathetically insignificant. We build our wars, draw our battle lines,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: create our grand strategies. Then a mountain can erase thousands
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: of lives in a heartbeat. That's crazy. Can you imagine
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: like you're standing at the side and you're like looking
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: at your buddies and he's waving and he doesn't even
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: just know. And then your buddy's just like.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Avalanches are scary, dude.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I see them sometimes on TikTok.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: They're just insanity. If you're caught in one, there's like
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: little hope.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I see, like, the rock avalanches, like, in, like, mountain places.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: I've seen, like, snow avalanches. Even, like, dudes, like, you
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: see them, like, skiing on TikTok, and they're coming down
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: a mountain, and, like, the snow is chasing them, and
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: they're trying to, like, outrun the snow.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Insane. Insane.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: How many people die a year in avalanches?
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Let us know, Becca.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Next up, we have the Great Ice Storm of 1998,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: when civilization froze over. The North American Ice Storm of
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: 1998 isn't just a weather event. It is a case
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: study into how quickly modern civilization can completely collapse and
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: when nature decides to throw the ultimate temper tantrum. January
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: 5th to January 9th, 1998, five days that would transform
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: parts of the eastern Canada and the northeastern United States
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: into a post-apocalyptic rubble. Well, not rubble, but snow, right?
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: That would make Hollywood disaster movies look like amateur hour. Now,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: we're talking about an ice storm so extreme... that it
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: would become the costliest natural disaster in Canadian history, causing
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: over $ 3 billion in damages and leaving millions without power
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: in the dead of winter. Do you remember this?
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really bad in Quebec.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: And wasn't the power out for like eight days? Or
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: like five days around here?
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: It was a while, for sure. The one you're thinking
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: about is when the power went out in the summer.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Remember that?
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because I was older, because I wouldn't remember this.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Because the power plant blew up. Yeah, this is different.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: But this wasn't just about some snow. Oh no, this
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: was about the perfect storm... that would make scientists scratch
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: their heads every day. People would question whether the apocalypse
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: had honestly arrived early. I can imagine some religious people
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: going off on that. The setup was deceptively simple. Multiple
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: weather systems converged over the region of warm air from
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: the Gulf of Mexico and cold Arctic air pushing down
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: from the north and a massive high pressure system that
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: created the most nightmarish temperature conditions imaginable. Temperatures hovered right
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: around freezing that magical, terrible point where precipitation could fall
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: as rain, but instantly freeze on contact with any surface.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: We get crazy ice storms here. Sometimes like this thick ice,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: and you can't even get into your car. Imagine a
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: world where everything, and I mean everything, becomes an ice sculpture.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: It happens at least once a year here, doesn't it, Adam?
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Once or twice? Yeah. Usually around now. Now imagine things
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: encased in inches of solid ice, trees transformed into fragile
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: glass structures, ready to shatter at the slightest touch. Roads,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: forget about driving. We are talking about surfaces so thick
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: that even walking became an extreme sport. The Quebec region
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: was hit the hardest. You're right. Cities like Montreal became
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: ghost towns as the ice accumulated. Now, we're not talking
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: about a light frosting. We are talking about ice accumulation
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: that reached up to four inches thick in some areas. Yeah.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: To put that into perspective, that's like covering everything in
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: your house in a layer of solid ice thick enough
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: to walk on. Power lines became so heavy that entire
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: transmission towers, massive steel structures designed to withstand extreme conditions,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: simply collapsed under the weight. At the storm's peak, nearly 1.4
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: million people lost power. But this wasn't a simple, oh,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: the lights are out situation. We're talking about a complete
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: infrastructure collapse right in the middle of one of the
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: coldest regions in the continent. Temperatures plummeted well below freezing.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: turning this from a power outage into a potential mass
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: casualty event. The electrical grid became a catastrophic domino effect
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: of failure. When power lines went down, entire regions were
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: plunged into darkness and freezing temperatures. Backup generators failed. Communication
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: systems collapsed. Hospitals were forced to run emergency power, with
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: medical staff working in near-impossible conditions to just try and
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: keep patients alive. Rural communities were hit particularly hard. We're prepped, right?
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Imagine being a farmer in rural Quebec, suddenly cut off
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: from the outside world with livestock freezing, water pipes bursting,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: and temperatures dropping so low that survival became a moment-to-moment battle.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Some farmers resorted to bringing entire herds of cattle into
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: their homes just to keep them alive. The Canadian military
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: was also called in, and this wasn't a small-scale operation.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: We are talking about the largest civilian emergency response in
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Canadian history up to that point. Over 16,000 Canadian Armed
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Forces personnel were deployed. They weren't just helping, they were
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: essentially keeping entire communities alive. Soldiers went door-to-door checking on residents,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: providing emergency supplies, and performing rescue operations in conditions that
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: would make most people give up immediately. Indigenous communities were
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: among the most vulnerable. In places like the Mohawk Territory,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: entire communities were isolated, with traditional survival skills becoming their
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: only lifeline. Elders spoke out never seeing anything like this
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: winter in their lifetime. The storm so complete in its
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: destruction that it seemed almost supernatural. The environment impact was
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: equally devastating. Millions of trees were destroyed, not just damaged,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: but completely obliterated. forests that had stood for centuries were
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: transformed into fields of broken ice covered matchsticks entire ecosystems
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: were fundamentally altered in a matter of days and that's
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: interesting around here because we see that because we live
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: in a forest if there's a storm you're gonna hear
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: trees go down but when that ice is on trees
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: you think they're so strong but they've like tripled their
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: weight or doubled their weight and you just hear them
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: go down and it's an incredible noise now here's where
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: it gets truly terrifying if that wasn't scary enough The
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: long-term human impact. Over 30 people died directly from the storm,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: but the indirect deaths were much higher. Hypothermia, carbon monoxide
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: poisoning from emergency heating, medical complications from the lack of power.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: The storm's deadly tendrils reached far beyond its initial five-day assault.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: So guys, this is 1998, so you'd think we'd have
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: more things set up here. Some communities were without power
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: for weeks. Weeks! In a Canadian winter. Let that sink
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: in for a minute. Imagine being completely cut off from
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: civilization with temperatures that could kill you in hours if
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: you weren't prepared. The economic impact was catastrophic. Agriculture was decimated.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Infrastructure would take years to fully recover. The storm exposed
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: every single weakness to our modern technological society. How quickly
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: we become vulnerable when our basic systems fail. What's most chilling,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: pun absolutely intended, is how close we came to a
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: complete societal breakdown. In many areas, the difference between survival
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: and total disaster was nothing more than access to a
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: few extra blankets, some canned food, and some basic understanding
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: about winter survival skills. Scientists would later point to this
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: storm as a potential harbinger of climate change. These weren't
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: just random weather events anymore. They were becoming more frequent,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: more intense, more destructive. The Great Ice Storm of 1998
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: wasn't just a natural disaster. It was a warning.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: I don't like ice.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I don't like ice either. Ice, ice, baby. People died, Selena.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't have done that.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: No.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: 30 people, though?
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: I thought it would have been a lot higher. Yeah,
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's 1998.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: They say we're going to have a crazy winter this year,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: where I am. Like, it's supposed to be a lot
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: of snow. Like, not cold, but like.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: It's already snowing. It's already cold. That's way ahead of schedule.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We had a snowstorm on Christmas last year. That
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: was crazy.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Next up is the Soviet Winter War, when nature became
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: the ultimate weapon. Here's our final winter nightmare, a story
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: that proves once and for all that Mother Nature is
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the most ruthless military strategist in human history. The Soviet
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Winter War of 1939 to 1940 isn't just a conflict.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: It is a masterclass in how winter can turn an
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: entire military invasion into frozen hell. December 1939, the Soviet
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Union decides to invade Finland. thinking it'll be a quick,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: easy conquest. Spoiler alert, Finland had other plans. And by plans,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: I mean they're about to turn the entire Russian invasion
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: force into a massive human popsicle. The Finnish weren't just
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: prepared for winter, but they were winter incarnate. These were
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: people who basically came out of the womb wearing thermal
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: underwear and and carrying survival gear. The Soviet military, on
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: the other hand, were about to learn a brutal lesson
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: in what happens when you underestimate both your enemy and
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: the most terrifying weapon of all, the cold. The temperature
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: wasn't just cold. The temperatures would make even a polar
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: bear think twice about going outside. We're talking about minus
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: 40 Fahrenheit. At these temperatures, metal becomes brittle. Machinery fails.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Humans become walking ice sculptures, weapons literally freeze solid, and
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: your spit freezes before it hits the ground. Now, we're talking,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: that is cold, cold. Soviet soldiers arrived in summer uniforms. Okay,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: let that sink in for like one thought moment.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Uniforms in Finland in December, it was like showing up
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: to a nuclear war with water pistols and shorts. And
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: their tanks?
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Useless.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Their trucks? Paperweights. Their guns? Frequently too cold to fire. Interesting.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: The Finns had a term for their particular brand of
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: winter warfares. Moti. Tactics. Essentially, they would allow the Soviet
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: forces to advance and then cut them off surrounding them
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: and let winter do the killing. And boy did winter deliver.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Soviet soldiers would wake up to find their entire units
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: frozen solid, looking like some kind of macabre ice sculpture exhibition.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Finnish soldiers wore white camouflage that made them virtually invisible
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: in the snow. They used skis to move rapidly around
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: the terrain that turned the Soviet soldiers into sitting ducks.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: They knew every tree, every rock, and every potential shelter.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: The Soviets were invading an environment that the Finns just
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: considered home. The numbers were absolutely horrifying. The Soviet Union
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: started the war with about 450,000 troops. By the end,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: they had lost approximately 126,875 soldiers. Not to bullets, but
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: to Finnish resistance. But to cold. To exposure. To a
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: winter so brutal that it made actual combat look like
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: a mild inconvenience. Soviet military equipment was decimated. Tanks became
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: useless hunks of metal. Guns frequently jammed. Vehicles refused to start.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: And soldiers often had to burn their own equipment just
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: to stay warm. The Finnish losses... dramatically lower, around 25,000
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: compared to the Soviets' 126,875. And here's the kicker. Finland
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: maintained its independence. David didn't just beat Goliath. David froze
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Goliath solid and then laughed about it. Death is never funny.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Military historians would later call this the perfect example of
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: asymmetrical warfare. The Soviets had a massive numerical superiority and
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: modern equipment an overwhelming force. The Finns had skis, white camouflage,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: and an intimate understanding of that winter is not just
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: a season, it is a weapon. But here is the
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: truly terrifying part. This wasn't just military conflict. This was
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: a brutal dance between human ambition and natural fury. Every
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: soldier who died didn't die from a bullet or a bomb.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: They died from something more primal, from cold so intense
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: that it would kill you faster than any weapon. The
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Soviet Winter War became a cautionary tale. A reminder that
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: no matter how advanced our technology becomes, no matter how
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: powerful our militaries are, nature always has the final say.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Winter doesn't care about your invasion plans. Winter doesn't negotiate.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Winter simply annihilates. From the Donner Party's desperate survival to
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: the frozen battlefields of the Soviet Winter War, these stories
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: are not just historical footnotes, but they are brutal reminders
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: of our vulnerability. Winter is not just a season. Winter
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: is a force, a killer, a storyteller that writes its
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: narrative in frost, in human suffering, in survival against impossible odds. Now, guys,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: this has been Selina Myers signing off for The Haunted Estate.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: If you survived this frostbitten journey with me, do me
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: a favor, smash that like button, subscribe, and drop me
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: a comment about Adam's or tell me your craziest winter story.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Maybe we'll end up in another episode.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: See you later, Boo Crew.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Bye.
