Speaker 1: So I thought that's a little change from the usual.
0:03
Speaker 1: I'll ask people to send me what they think is
0:05
Speaker 1: their best paranormal evidence that they've seen. And I did
0:09
Speaker 1: not expect to get all the responses I did. I
0:12
Speaker 1: was completely inundated. So I'll try and get through as
0:16
Speaker 1: many as I can but some of you will be
0:18
Speaker 1: missed out. I apologize in advance. I will say if
0:23
Speaker 1: I think it's rubbish, I might give a sort of
0:25
Speaker 1: skeptical view of some of these recordings. But it's not
0:29
Speaker 1: going to be like an expert debunk or anything like that.
0:33
Speaker 1: I don't really know with paranormal evidence. I think a
0:36
Speaker 1: lot of the time it's just up to your own
0:38
Speaker 1: personal opinion. So I'm just going to be looking at
0:42
Speaker 1: things given my opinion and yeah, should be fun. See
0:46
Speaker 1: Marshall sent me this ghost riding a motorbike. Let's see it.
0:51
Speaker 1: What the hell? I don't know what that's all about.
0:55
Speaker 1: Only possible explanations. I can think of as it's some
0:59
Speaker 1: sort of gravitational thing. Can't really tell what sort of
1:03
Speaker 1: angle has rolled up. Maybe it's got a bit of
1:06
Speaker 1: a camera to it. And somehow the brakes come off
1:09
Speaker 1: and it started to swing around slightly. But I don't know.
1:14
Speaker 1: We hid in it. Alright. See Marshall. Thank you for that.
1:21
Speaker 1: That was pretty good. The next one. A lot of
1:25
Speaker 1: people have sent me this. So it must be good.
1:30
Speaker 1: So shout out to Diana Gabriel, C, Hagen, Maddie, Estelle,
1:35
Speaker 1: and somebody called Bunny Time. Only one day after James
1:39
Speaker 1: was messing with my patio blinds. I attempt to strike
1:43
Speaker 1: a book conversation with him. Seeing as he was so
1:46
Speaker 1: active yesterday, this is what I got. Yeah, apparently James communicating. Okay, guys,
1:54
Speaker 1: today where we've shown a different thing. I've actually been
1:57
Speaker 1: working on this for a couple of weeks. You can
2:01
Speaker 1: ring this bill, push this little plunger. And I'll know
2:04
Speaker 1: it's you. How about? And offering you move dark hands
2:09
Speaker 1: of stuff. Oh, sorry. I'm off. You see that? Is
2:16
Speaker 1: that happening? You fucking see this? I hope that helps.
2:22
Speaker 1: You see that, Tom? Just whatever you got. Just give
2:27
Speaker 1: it all you got and just hit it one good time.
2:30
Speaker 1: Holy shit. Very interested. We're not. Just for the sake
2:37
Speaker 1: of being called a crazy man. It is just a bill.
2:41
Speaker 1: And if you look here on the inside of it,
2:43
Speaker 1: just a plunger and a hammer. No mode is nothing. See,
2:49
Speaker 1: I thought, well, I wonder if there's something inside it
2:51
Speaker 1: that is weird. This is just a speculation here. Maybe
2:56
Speaker 1: possibly what you could do is tie a bit of
2:58
Speaker 1: fishing line inside the bell. And have it feeding out
3:02
Speaker 1: from the back end of the bell. And perhaps he
3:05
Speaker 1: placed that tobacco thing there to hold the line in place.
3:09
Speaker 1: And then notice that he picks it up first. And
3:12
Speaker 1: then he moves the bell. A crazy man. It is
3:17
Speaker 1: just a bill. It sort of turns it over in
3:20
Speaker 1: such a way that if there was a string there,
3:22
Speaker 1: his hand would be obscuring it. Well, that's the only
3:26
Speaker 1: possible sort of explanation I can think of. It's a
3:30
Speaker 1: bit of a stretch, I think, my theory. But that's
3:33
Speaker 1: the only way I can possibly think of it being faked.
3:37
Speaker 1: But that's interesting. A lot of people have sent that
3:41
Speaker 1: to me. Interesting. Okay, thanks for thanks to all the
3:46
Speaker 1: people who sent me that. Alright, Sin. Thank you for
3:50
Speaker 1: sending me this. Rushing Guy Films Kid Floating I'm sure
3:56
Speaker 1: this is as old as the internet itself, isn't it? Yeah, 2009.
4:02
Speaker 1: This is an old one. Tardam, come here. What is that?
4:08
Speaker 1: What is that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is that? What
4:14
Speaker 1: is that? What is that? What is that? It's got
4:19
Speaker 1: a good old 2009 quality going on here. What you'll
4:23
Speaker 1: notice is you don't actually see the girl floating into
4:26
Speaker 1: the air or coming back down to the ground. It's
4:29
Speaker 1: like one minute she's up in the air and then
4:31
Speaker 1: the camera sort of judders and then she's back on
4:34
Speaker 1: the ground. It's very easy to put it in edit in,
4:37
Speaker 1: see it like these bits where it's just blurry nothing.
4:41
Speaker 1: It's very easy to cut from one scene to another
4:43
Speaker 1: when the camera's sort of jolting. Yeah, that's an old
4:47
Speaker 1: one that it's a classic. I do like that video
4:50
Speaker 1: but I'm not too convinced and Captain Disillusion did do
4:53
Speaker 1: a deep hunk of it. He usually does good work,
4:57
Speaker 1: I'm sure he does a good job. Classic old video
5:00
Speaker 1: that one. Thank you very much Sin for sending that. Okay,
5:06
Speaker 1: USS Arbor sent me a load of stuff and I'm
5:08
Speaker 1: just gonna pick one which I need you. Yeah, right.
5:13
Speaker 1: It's okay. I just turned off the lights. That's all. Okay, girls.
5:21
Speaker 1: That didn't any of you must have needed. Look at me.
5:25
Speaker 1: Look at me. Look at me. Look it out. Look
5:30
Speaker 1: at me. Look at me. Look it out. I don't know,
5:36
Speaker 1: comments are terrible. I like seeing the comments on these recordings.
5:41
Speaker 1: Up until the point in the second girl screamed. It
5:44
Speaker 1: kind of just sounded like this kid was doing just
5:46
Speaker 1: wanting the tension sort of faking a cry and possibly
5:49
Speaker 1: what happens is the second kid sister tension at the
5:51
Speaker 1: first kid's getting and then does a little fake scream
5:54
Speaker 1: of her own runaway but yeah I don't know, kind
5:57
Speaker 1: of creepy. I did get a little bit of a
5:59
Speaker 1: chill when the second kid screamed because it seemed a
6:02
Speaker 1: bit more real sounding than the first kid's crying. Who knows,
6:07
Speaker 1: very odd, thank you for that. Sorry I didn't have
6:10
Speaker 1: time to get through all the other recordings she sent
6:13
Speaker 1: me but that was a good one. Okay, Noah sent
6:16
Speaker 1: me this. I feel like other people have sent me
6:19
Speaker 1: this actually. Yeah, someone else sent me this as well
6:23
Speaker 1: and Basil, yeah this is apparently a Polish video one
6:26
Speaker 1: called The Slamming Door. I like the music he's listening to. Okay,
6:32
Speaker 1: I was pretty interesting. I like the guy's breathing. I
6:37
Speaker 1: did a lot of atmosphere to it. I'll point out
6:40
Speaker 1: a few things and again bear in mind when I
6:42
Speaker 1: point out things that's not I'm calling it fake. It's
6:45
Speaker 1: just a few things that maybe to look out for.
6:49
Speaker 1: Obviously the camera's pointing in this direction so you can
6:52
Speaker 1: see all these things on shelf. Sort of primarily mind
6:56
Speaker 1: those things are there and then the ghost obviously knows
6:58
Speaker 1: the camera's pointed away and that's the time when it's
7:01
Speaker 1: going to kick all them things off the shelf. It's
7:04
Speaker 1: got a kind of cinematic quality to it. This time
7:08
Speaker 1: it waits to do something on camera and it waits
7:10
Speaker 1: until the camera's pointed at the what looks like an
7:12
Speaker 1: exercise bike or something before it decides to tip it over.
7:16
Speaker 1: You know see how the camera sort of points in
7:18
Speaker 1: the right direction and kind of steadies itself before the
7:21
Speaker 1: bike tips over. It gets it perfectly in frame. It's
7:26
Speaker 1: slightly suspicious I would say. I don't know whether that
7:30
Speaker 1: means it's fake. Oh Paul sent me this sneaking into
7:33
Speaker 1: USSR bomb shelter in protected area at 2 minutes or
7:37
Speaker 1: 55 seconds. A ghost girl is behind the pipes that
7:41
Speaker 1: sound spooky. I guess it's pipes here. Oh my god
7:46
Speaker 1: I seen it. Oh wait I've just looked look at this.
7:50
Speaker 1: Yeah I don't know that's kind of creepy kind of spooky.
7:54
Speaker 1: Like to like it very good. Thank you Paul for
7:57
Speaker 1: sending me that. Paul arose. Thank you very much for
8:02
Speaker 1: sending me this. Moving statues. You sent me a few.
8:08
Speaker 1: I might actually look at a few of these. Because
8:11
Speaker 1: I do find moving statues really creepy. No way. Hey
8:17
Speaker 1: it looks like an animatronic though. Like it looks like
8:20
Speaker 1: that mouse made to move. Oh I've been there and
8:24
Speaker 1: seen it. This isn't animatronic. People are saying it's supposed
8:29
Speaker 1: to be animated. Hmm yeah no that looks like. Yeah
8:34
Speaker 1: the eyes move as the camera moves. Yeah you can
8:37
Speaker 1: see there it's a glass dome with the eyeball painted
8:40
Speaker 1: on the back. Yeah I see how it's done. Kind
8:44
Speaker 1: of creepy but also not not paranormal. Yeah I do
8:48
Speaker 1: like cranks that choose. They're always creepy. Yeah I do
8:53
Speaker 1: like things that creepy statues also. So I think I
8:57
Speaker 1: have got one saved some. Yeah I do. I don't
9:02
Speaker 1: know what to make of that. It's very low quality
9:05
Speaker 1: isn't it? It's taken from a distance. It could easily
9:10
Speaker 1: just be. So once put a sheet over the statue
9:13
Speaker 1: and it's below and in the wind. Yeah this is
9:17
Speaker 1: another one that I like. So yeah they found a
9:20
Speaker 1: statue as moving. And so they played the CCTV back
9:24
Speaker 1: on their time lapse and they saw the statue was
9:26
Speaker 1: just rotating out its own. How eerie. What they think
9:31
Speaker 1: is actually happening here is that because it's on like
9:34
Speaker 1: a glass table or shelf the stone base of the
9:36
Speaker 1: statue is slightly convex. As you'll notice if you watch
9:40
Speaker 1: it back again it only moves in the daytime when
9:42
Speaker 1: there's people walking around in the museum. So what they
9:46
Speaker 1: think is happening is vibrations from people's feet is actually
9:49
Speaker 1: causing the the shelf to vibrate and that's making a
9:52
Speaker 1: statue move. They also say that these statues don't move
9:56
Speaker 1: because their their base is more solid they're more flat.
10:00
Speaker 1: This one's from Isabelle. Let's have a look. I suppose
10:05
Speaker 1: this one's more for the experts really. To my untrained
10:09
Speaker 1: eyes it looks like it could just be some person
10:11
Speaker 1: in a suit. I would also say that the baby
10:14
Speaker 1: looks a bit rigid. Like it's the way its head
10:17
Speaker 1: bobbed around when it moves. See it looks a bit
10:20
Speaker 1: sort of it's not really moving. It's like the baby
10:24
Speaker 1: doesn't look real to me. Anyway pretty interesting thank you
10:28
Speaker 1: for that Isabel. Okay so a lot of people sent
10:31
Speaker 1: me this Alex Chukka and John or sent me Carmel Main.
10:35
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm saying it right. This is
10:38
Speaker 1: one I'm slightly familiar with. There are a few things
10:42
Speaker 1: that I have looked at before which I think are
10:44
Speaker 1: not as paranormal as they seem. For example this. I
10:49
Speaker 1: honestly think this is just a cat and what I
10:51
Speaker 1: think is happening is there's something going on with the
10:53
Speaker 1: way that the material folds where it creates a kind
10:56
Speaker 1: of shadow and then when the cat jumps out the
10:58
Speaker 1: window the shadow kind of moves with it. Yeah it
11:01
Speaker 1: looks it looks like a cat's come in through the
11:03
Speaker 1: window open the top and it's jumping down. This one's
11:07
Speaker 1: kind of spooky you know play it on normal speed.
11:11
Speaker 1: They point at the place where the ghost gonna appear
11:13
Speaker 1: to show there's nothing there and then they turn away
11:15
Speaker 1: and then they go back. yeah i don't know i
11:18
Speaker 1: just point to your head hit time see this is
11:23
Speaker 1: a bit more convincing to me if they did fake
11:25
Speaker 1: it like how did they do it because you can
11:27
Speaker 1: see the shadow kind of looks like it's here and
11:29
Speaker 1: it's in front of the bed and then it's almost
11:30
Speaker 1: like it kind of shifts over that one's a bit
11:33
Speaker 1: yeah that one's a bit weird that's a bit spooky
11:37
Speaker 1: who knows what that is that that is weird yeah
11:39
Speaker 1: i don't know what to make of it some of
11:42
Speaker 1: it makes me think it's a bit suspicious Some of
11:45
Speaker 1: it is a bit more interesting so yeah okay Trish
11:48
Speaker 1: sent me a video. Sorry but this case is 100%
11:52
Speaker 1: proof that goes definitely exists so let's have a look.
11:56
Speaker 1: Oh who knows who knows could be a ghost could
11:58
Speaker 1: be someone messing around I mean all the things individually
12:01
Speaker 1: easy to fake I suppose the door slamming creeped me
12:03
Speaker 1: out though I don't know it's just it was so
12:05
Speaker 1: violent the way it was done and the only thing
12:07
Speaker 1: I will say is you know it's though the locker
12:09
Speaker 1: that's moving is quite close to a window which is
12:11
Speaker 1: right behind it so it would give someone quite easy
12:14
Speaker 1: access to I don't know stick in a brew mandol
12:16
Speaker 1: for the window or something like that. that was good
12:20
Speaker 1: thank you trish thank you very much okay joshua says
12:23
Speaker 1: i've watched this going for years now and i honestly
12:25
Speaker 1: think it's legit i'm sorry give that a sit down
12:30
Speaker 1: make yourself comfortable hmm but i've seen this technology before
12:34
Speaker 1: and it's always been so dubious to me i always
12:37
Speaker 1: feel like it just picks up random noise and makes
12:39
Speaker 1: it into a kind of figure but it's the first
12:41
Speaker 1: time i've seen it where it looks convincing anyway can
12:44
Speaker 1: you reach out and touch my hand would that be
12:47
Speaker 1: possible No way. God that's weird okay I think this
12:52
Speaker 1: might be a joke one I can see the thumbnail
12:54
Speaker 1: looks a bit clickbait Adolfo okay let's say ghost smacked
12:58
Speaker 1: my butt. Let me see there was something there what
13:01
Speaker 1: was it? I don't know what that was it did
13:03
Speaker 1: look like I figured going up pretty good thank you
13:05
Speaker 1: Adolfo this is from Poncho here's a bit that I
13:08
Speaker 1: believe proves the existence of creatures known as Cheniquist Adolfo
13:11
Speaker 1: and I had to say it these creatures according to
13:13
Speaker 1: mixing culture a tiny elf like creatures that play with
13:16
Speaker 1: you when you're alone and if you refuse to play
13:18
Speaker 1: with them then they do all sorts of nasty tricks
13:21
Speaker 1: on you wow I like that story. I don't see
13:24
Speaker 1: how that could be anything over there than just a
13:26
Speaker 1: person it's the little small person okay a sent me
13:28
Speaker 1: this your favorite ghost picture of all time the story
13:31
Speaker 1: behind it is tragic and the picture is incredible okay
13:34
Speaker 1: let's have a look at this so it says here
13:35
Speaker 1: of a police officer took the photos with their 35mm
13:39
Speaker 1: camera and when they developed the photos to got a
13:41
Speaker 1: shock the only thing I would say is how do
13:43
Speaker 1: you know that story. Behind the picture is true this
13:46
Speaker 1: is very creepy could it be. A double exposure it's
13:49
Speaker 1: not how do you know I'll earn a no down
13:51
Speaker 1: vote the Isaac sent me this I remember watching this
13:54
Speaker 1: one as a kid yeah I remember watching this one
13:56
Speaker 1: as well the ghost in the pantry this is a
13:58
Speaker 1: well known one awful front usage oh oh yeah you
14:01
Speaker 1: can like the fingers you can like see the legs
14:03
Speaker 1: behind the behind the glass can't yeah oh I'm very
14:05
Speaker 1: spooky it's a good one it's famous. I've seen some
14:10
Speaker 1: good explanations of it for them. I'll leave you to
14:13
Speaker 1: look them up yourself I suppose. Okay here we go.
14:17
Speaker 1: Dan Bell visits abandoned children's asylum and they've helped fully
14:20
Speaker 1: timestamp the things where spooky things happen thank you to
14:23
Speaker 1: Kyle for this. Oh I saw a shadow in the door.
14:28
Speaker 1: Yeah who was that? Look at the keyhole in the
14:31
Speaker 1: exit door I missed that bit. Okay let's try it again.
14:36
Speaker 1: Oh yeah I see okay. I'll be honest that sounds
14:40
Speaker 1: it sounds like there's some like background noise to it
14:42
Speaker 1: like it was taken out of something else so it
14:44
Speaker 1: sounds like he's added in that sound himself. Yeah that
14:48
Speaker 1: audio sounds like he's added and definitely sounds like he's
14:51
Speaker 1: added in some spooky sound effects to make it a
14:53
Speaker 1: bit more creepy but I don't know what those with
14:55
Speaker 1: shadows are. Okay Dan PM sent me this. I'm even
15:00
Speaker 1: looking at it. So we're about to weigh that move.
15:04
Speaker 1: This looks like a magnet. Okay, that is creepy. I
15:09
Speaker 1: mean the way they filmed it was if they kind
15:11
Speaker 1: of knew it was going to be there. It makes
15:14
Speaker 1: me a bit suspicious. Yeah I liked it. That was good.
15:20
Speaker 1: So hell raised a sent me one. Demonic possession. That's creepy.
15:27
Speaker 1: It could just be, you know, meant a littleness or
15:29
Speaker 1: someone faking, but what I find interested there is it's
15:32
Speaker 1: almost like you can hear a voice changing as the
15:34
Speaker 1: demon comes out that the jinn comes out. You mean
15:38
Speaker 1: a magician or somebody send this jinn to block you
15:40
Speaker 1: to speak or to go to call? Yes, you are.
15:45
Speaker 1: And the ah here to remember. Yeah, I haven't got
15:48
Speaker 1: time to listen to the whole thing. It seems interested. No,
15:54
Speaker 1: we're creepy. Okay, radical zombies sent me this evil creature
15:58
Speaker 1: caught on tape. What is it? Why is the frame
16:02
Speaker 1: rate so low on these recordings? Oh my god. I
16:07
Speaker 1: can't believe this. I got it on video now. People
16:12
Speaker 1: think I'm nuts. I got this on video is playing
16:16
Speaker 1: right now. I put the iPad in the window and
16:19
Speaker 1: out this thing is coming up to the steps in
16:21
Speaker 1: my backyard mic. What's going on? It's like a weird
16:25
Speaker 1: demonic looking thing and it's like a human and it's
16:28
Speaker 1: all scratched down. This is the second time this happened
16:32
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, no, it's a demonic creature. It's not human.
16:39
Speaker 1: And it goes back. It's just one back with a
16:42
Speaker 1: dog's back in. Like what? Wobble back in. I can't
16:48
Speaker 1: explain it. We're back in the week. Yeah, like it
16:52
Speaker 1: knows something's going on. I got it now. I don't
16:57
Speaker 1: hate it. You can be talking like this for a
17:00
Speaker 1: video you know. But you can speak in English and
17:03
Speaker 1: there's a dream constraint. I don't hate that. That's what
17:08
Speaker 1: everybody is, an enemy is being attacked. I just he's
17:12
Speaker 1: going to have a 35 out of the execute piece
17:15
Speaker 1: and come to court and he knows it. You watch
17:18
Speaker 1: it over four. It's real good and nothing's going to
17:21
Speaker 1: call me. When you wait out. No fire, it will
17:26
Speaker 1: come on. Oh my god, there it is. My good.
17:32
Speaker 1: Come back. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. It knows
17:38
Speaker 1: something is going on man. This thing is. Oh my god.
17:44
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I don't know what happened here to
17:46
Speaker 1: be disconnected. and it could just be a crackhead wandering
17:50
Speaker 1: round his garden I suppose it's too low quality to
17:53
Speaker 1: really be able to tell. Like two weird things, one
17:57
Speaker 1: he said he was recorded as I had, but the
17:59
Speaker 1: frame rate looked really low, like the guy looked really
18:02
Speaker 1: like judgery, like it was stock motion animation almost. And
18:06
Speaker 1: the other thing was the audio seemed really just out
18:09
Speaker 1: of sync with the footage, like he said it, slinked
18:12
Speaker 1: back into the shadows way before it actually did. And
18:16
Speaker 1: then later on in the recording, It's there for a
18:18
Speaker 1: long time before he goes, oh my god it's coming back.
18:23
Speaker 1: But it's almost like the audio doesn't quite link up
18:25
Speaker 1: with the recording, which sort of shows maybe that it
18:28
Speaker 1: was edited in some way to say it. So I
18:31
Speaker 1: would look at his channel and say if there was
18:33
Speaker 1: any other follow ups but no nothing. Kind of weird,
18:37
Speaker 1: I guess, creepy. Maybe oh yeah, I was going to
18:41
Speaker 1: show you footage that I found particularly interesting. And I
18:45
Speaker 1: couldn't find half the stuff I wanted to find. So
18:48
Speaker 1: there was a channel I used to watch all the
18:50
Speaker 1: time called Dorset Ghost Adventures. And when I went looking
18:54
Speaker 1: back for them, all I can find is Dorset Ghost Mysteries,
18:58
Speaker 1: which seems to be a very different channel. So I
19:01
Speaker 1: don't know what's happened to the old channel, whether it
19:03
Speaker 1: got shut down or what, but it's a bit of
19:05
Speaker 1: a shame. I used to watch that channel a lot
19:09
Speaker 1: and they always came across as really genuine. Like a
19:12
Speaker 1: lot of the time they went on investigations and they
19:15
Speaker 1: didn't find anything. And they would just say that they
19:17
Speaker 1: wouldn't try and make something up to make their recordings
19:20
Speaker 1: more interesting or scary. And it was one where they
19:23
Speaker 1: were using this heat seeking camera and they found something
19:26
Speaker 1: really weird. It's the only one I've seen where I
19:29
Speaker 1: think that I can't really explain what it is. This
19:33
Speaker 1: might be it. Yeah, yeah. I mean it's only. It's
19:39
Speaker 1: not really anything like too spectacular. It's just weird, I think.
19:44
Speaker 1: That was the one that always got me. I remember
19:48
Speaker 1: this very well from their old channel. because something moves across.
19:52
Speaker 1: It very clearly looks like the outline of a person,
19:55
Speaker 1: but it's also kind of see-through. And it's almost like
19:58
Speaker 1: it materializes out of nowhere. Now, nothing walks into frame.
20:04
Speaker 1: That one always got me. I always think that one's interested.
20:10
Speaker 1: I remember that very well from their old channel and
20:12
Speaker 1: that was the one I had in mind that I
20:14
Speaker 1: wanted to show people. Dorset Ghost Mysteries, go on, subscribe
20:19
Speaker 1: to them. Anyway, thanks to everyone who's been sending me
20:23
Speaker 1: stuff in and I hope you enjoyed me looking at it.
20:26
Speaker 1: I'll do one of these again in the future. It's
20:29
Speaker 1: been fun. Let's start 34. Hello everybody. There's an idea
20:36
Speaker 1: in a lot of cultures that taking a photograph is
20:38
Speaker 1: more than just a simple act of getting a quick picture.
20:42
Speaker 1: Instead of taking a moment and freezing it for all time,
20:45
Speaker 1: some believe that the lens actually takes part of the
20:47
Speaker 1: human soul. Whether you agree with this idea or not,
20:51
Speaker 1: I think we can all acknowledge that there is something
20:53
Speaker 1: about this single second being preserved for all eternity, especially
20:57
Speaker 1: if it turns out to be the very last thing
20:59
Speaker 1: captured before tragedy strikes. Take this seemingly innocuous image of
21:04
Speaker 1: Kelsey Webster, her sister Savannah, and their friend SRRKA that
21:08
Speaker 1: was taken in October 2011. The girls aged between 13
21:13
Speaker 1: and 15 were spending an evening doing what teenage girls do,
21:17
Speaker 1: hanging out, having a laugh, and taking selfies to commemorate
21:21
Speaker 1: the occasion, all of which was being shared to social media.
21:25
Speaker 1: The girls seem to be enjoying themselves, but if you
21:28
Speaker 1: look beyond the smiling faces, your eyes might be drawn
21:31
Speaker 1: to the top right of the photo. This part of
21:34
Speaker 1: the image contains the headlights of a train that is
21:36
Speaker 1: approaching them. This is Spanish Fork Canyon in Utah, and
21:41
Speaker 1: not long before this last photograph was taken, the youngest girl,
21:45
Speaker 1: Savannah Webster, had posted the following to her Facebook page,
21:49
Speaker 1: standing right by a train. This is awesome. At this point,
21:54
Speaker 1: The train has slammed on its emergency brakes and it
21:57
Speaker 1: is sounding its horn to warn the girls of its approach,
21:59
Speaker 1: but still it is traveling at nearly 40 miles per hour.
22:03
Speaker 1: Inside the approaching engine were the conductor John Anderson and
22:07
Speaker 1: the engineer Michael Anderson. Despite the two of them shouting
22:11
Speaker 1: and blurring the horn and hammering on the emergency brake,
22:14
Speaker 1: by the time the train had come to a complete standstill,
22:17
Speaker 1: they traveled almost 400 meters. John Anderson described the incident
22:22
Speaker 1: as follows. We saw them for about 12 seconds until
22:26
Speaker 1: they disappeared from our sight and the train continued moving forward.
22:30
Speaker 1: We watched in horror as they got closer. The conductor
22:34
Speaker 1: John jumped off the train when it eventually stopped and
22:37
Speaker 1: raced back up to where the girl had been standing.
22:40
Speaker 1: The sight that met his eyes was as about as
22:42
Speaker 1: bad as can be imagined. The two older girls, Essa
22:47
Speaker 1: and Kelsey, were clearly dead. Amazingly, Savannah was still breathing
22:52
Speaker 1: and the train conductor stayed by her side until the
22:55
Speaker 1: emergency service arrived. Sadly though, she later succumbed to her injuries,
23:00
Speaker 1: forever planting this tragedy not only in the minds of
23:03
Speaker 1: the friends and family of the young girls, but also
23:06
Speaker 1: in the minds of the two men who had been
23:08
Speaker 1: in the train and did everything they could to avoid
23:10
Speaker 1: the accident. All that remains of this terrible incident, other
23:14
Speaker 1: than the mental scars, is this one haunting photograph. This
23:19
Speaker 1: is a photograph of Sydney Loof. It was taken one
23:23
Speaker 1: evening in November 2017. It was posted to her Snapchat
23:27
Speaker 1: before she headed out on a Tinder date. Now for
23:31
Speaker 1: most of us, a bad date might mean a few
23:33
Speaker 1: awkward silences followed by a lame excuse to make an
23:36
Speaker 1: early exit. In Sydney's case however, her date resulted in
23:41
Speaker 1: an end far worse than anyone could imagine. The woman
23:45
Speaker 1: that Sydney was meeting was named Bailey Boswell. Sidney and
23:49
Speaker 1: Bailey had exchanged hundreds of messages over the course of
23:52
Speaker 1: a few days and they were meeting up for what
23:54
Speaker 1: would be their second date. The agreement was for Bailey
23:57
Speaker 1: to pick Sidney up and bring her back to her apartment.
24:01
Speaker 1: Unknown to Sidney, Bailey also had a boyfriend named Aubrey Trail.
24:06
Speaker 1: He was a man in his 50s that Bailey had
24:08
Speaker 1: met online, they become romantically involved. It looks as though
24:13
Speaker 1: the pair of them had planned this murder ahead of time.
24:16
Speaker 1: And so when Bailey came to pick Sidney up, despite
24:19
Speaker 1: assuring her that they would just be the two of
24:21
Speaker 1: them on the date, Aubrey Trail was also present. What
24:25
Speaker 1: happened next has never been fully established, mostly because Aubrey
24:29
Speaker 1: Trail kept changing his story. We know that the three
24:32
Speaker 1: of them went back to a basement that Bailey and
24:35
Speaker 1: Aubrey rented together, but what exactly happened there is anyone's guess.
24:39
Speaker 1: Two days later, the Sidney failed to show up to work.
24:44
Speaker 1: Her mother reported her missing and police searched her home,
24:47
Speaker 1: but nobody was there, there was no sign of Sydney. Meanwhile,
24:51
Speaker 1: back at the basement that Bailey and Aubrey rented, a
24:54
Speaker 1: strong smell of bleach began to disturb the other residents
24:57
Speaker 1: of the building. The chemical stink was so overpowering that
25:01
Speaker 1: the people living upstairs started to feel sick. Being the
25:05
Speaker 1: last people to see Sydney, Aubrey and Bailey were declared
25:09
Speaker 1: people of interest. Police even obtained a warrant to search
25:13
Speaker 1: their basement but apart from the smell of bleach, there
25:15
Speaker 1: was nothing suspicious there. Aubrey and Bailey also made this
25:20
Speaker 1: strange Facebook live stream where they declared their innocence and
25:23
Speaker 1: prayed for Sydney's safe return. I want to take her
25:27
Speaker 1: home and she asked me to drop her off at
25:29
Speaker 1: a friend's house, so I did so. I gave her
25:32
Speaker 1: my number. We were planning to go to the casino
25:35
Speaker 1: that weekend. I mean, I haven't heard from her since.
25:40
Speaker 1: I just. I really don't even know what else to say.
25:45
Speaker 1: I see all this stuff on the news presses and
25:47
Speaker 1: the magazines and the news and I just. I guess
25:51
Speaker 1: I just want the family to know that I'm truly
25:53
Speaker 1: sorry and I didn't have anything to do with this
25:55
Speaker 1: and I hope that Sydney has found great soon. She
25:59
Speaker 1: is a sweet, amazing girl. I don't know if bad
26:03
Speaker 1: you have anything else to say. I hope also that
26:06
Speaker 1: Sydney found soon. We wish to found with the best.
26:11
Speaker 1: We're sorry you're going through this. On December 4, more
26:15
Speaker 1: than two weeks after Sidney's disappearance, FBI search teams found
26:19
Speaker 1: a number of black plastic bags dumped on the side
26:22
Speaker 1: of a gravel road. Inside these bags, along with a
26:26
Speaker 1: load of sex toys and the dog leash, was Sidney
26:29
Speaker 1: Louv's body. She had been hacked into 14 separate pieces.
26:34
Speaker 1: CCTV footage showed Bailey and Aubrey waiting for Sidney outside
26:38
Speaker 1: her work on the day that she vanished. while the
26:41
Speaker 1: CCTV footage showed Bailey and Aubrey buying hacksaws, tree saws,
26:46
Speaker 1: utility knives, trash bags and gallons of bleach at various
26:50
Speaker 1: stores right after Sidney had gone missing. The two of
26:54
Speaker 1: them were taken in for questioning. Aubrey Trail eventually admitted
26:58
Speaker 1: to strangling Sidney Louv to death with an extension wire
27:01
Speaker 1: in the basement that he and Bailey had shared, then
27:04
Speaker 1: together Aubrey and Bailey dismembered and disposed of Sidney's body.
27:09
Speaker 1: The reason why they'd killed her has never quite been established.
27:13
Speaker 1: As I said, Aubrey kept changing his story. At first
27:17
Speaker 1: he simply said it was a kinky sex game that
27:19
Speaker 1: had gone wrong, a bit of consensual autoerotic fixation. Then
27:24
Speaker 1: he said he'd strangled the on-camera because some high-profile people
27:28
Speaker 1: had paid him to record a strangulation movie. Then he
27:31
Speaker 1: said he'd killed her after she refused to help him
27:34
Speaker 1: defraud some antique dealers. So why did they kill Sidney?
27:39
Speaker 1: I guess we'll never really know. In June of 2021,
27:43
Speaker 1: Aubrey Trail was sentenced to death. In November of the
27:47
Speaker 1: same year, Bailey Boswell came within a whisker of being
27:50
Speaker 1: the first woman to ever be sentenced to death in Nebraska.
27:54
Speaker 1: She was eventually sentenced to life in prison without the
27:57
Speaker 1: possibility of parole. Knowing what happens to Sidney Louv just
28:01
Speaker 1: hours after this photo was taken, it takes on a
28:04
Speaker 1: whole new sinister meaning. Here's another seemingly pedestrian image that
28:09
Speaker 1: has actually captured the last earthly image of a person alive.
28:13
Speaker 1: This was taken at Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls is actually
28:18
Speaker 1: a group of three separate waterfalls and they lie on
28:20
Speaker 1: the border between the USA and Canada. It has a
28:24
Speaker 1: drop of 50 meters and every day 165,000 meters cubed
28:27
Speaker 1: of water pass over it. Many people have tried to
28:32
Speaker 1: make the name by purposefully thrown themselves into Niagara Falls,
28:36
Speaker 1: sometimes in a barrel or some other device that they constructed.
28:40
Speaker 1: According to Wikipedia, since 1850 more than 5,000 people have
28:44
Speaker 1: gone over Niagara Falls, but only 16 people actually survived
28:48
Speaker 1: the fall. And not all those falls were the result
28:52
Speaker 1: of a daredevil. A lot of people simply fall in.
28:56
Speaker 1: For example, in this picture. If you look beyond the
28:59
Speaker 1: subject of the photo towards the top left portion of
29:02
Speaker 1: the frame, the woman in red, this was a Japanese
29:05
Speaker 1: exchange student who had traveled to Niagara Falls that day.
29:09
Speaker 1: She appears to be trying to get a closer look
29:11
Speaker 1: at the falls and so she's climbed over the railings
29:13
Speaker 1: and is standing on the other side. Eyewitness accounts state
29:17
Speaker 1: that she seemed to lose her footing almost immediately after
29:20
Speaker 1: this photograph was taken and she plunged the 50 meters
29:23
Speaker 1: from the top into the depth below. Unfortunately, she wasn't
29:27
Speaker 1: one of the 16 people that survived the fall. Now,
29:31
Speaker 1: this next photo isn't technically one that shows at the
29:34
Speaker 1: last moments of someone's life, but it was definitely creepy
29:37
Speaker 1: enough to include in this case. It comes to its
29:41
Speaker 1: fire thread on the popular Ask Reddit subreddit. This was
29:45
Speaker 1: from 9 years ago. A user was responding to a
29:48
Speaker 1: post that asked, hikers and backpackers of Reddit, what is
29:52
Speaker 1: the weirdest or creepiest thing that you have found whilst hiking?
29:56
Speaker 1: A user named Jiddle08 responds with an incredible story and
30:00
Speaker 1: this photograph. which initially seems to show pretty much nothing.
30:04
Speaker 1: In a popular hiking area, this Redditor and the two
30:07
Speaker 1: friends were exploring the picturesque surroundings of our 150-foot waterfall.
30:13
Speaker 1: They departed from the main trail and they were now
30:15
Speaker 1: bouldering around the base of the waterfall. Very few hikers
30:19
Speaker 1: ventured this way which made it a relatively secluded spot.
30:23
Speaker 1: As they explored the area, they stumbled upon a distressing sight.
30:28
Speaker 1: A 22-year-old girl was lying face down in the mud
30:31
Speaker 1: in a severely injured state. Both of her legs were
30:35
Speaker 1: broken and she lacked essential supplies such as a phone, water,
30:38
Speaker 1: or food. To their dismay, they also discovered that her
30:43
Speaker 1: friend who had been hiking with her the night before
30:45
Speaker 1: was found dead less than 100 yards away from their location.
30:49
Speaker 1: What appears to have happened was these two were hiking
30:51
Speaker 1: on top of the waterfall the night before and they'd
30:54
Speaker 1: both fallen off. The three friends immediately called 911 and
30:59
Speaker 1: soon afterwards a helicopter arrived and the injured woman was
31:02
Speaker 1: airlifted to the nearest hospital. Now let's go back to
31:06
Speaker 1: these photographs again. Little did they know as they were
31:10
Speaker 1: taking these photographs of themselves bouldering around the waterfall. They'd
31:14
Speaker 1: actually captured the injured woman in the background. It gives
31:18
Speaker 1: you an idea of how isolated this woman was, how
31:21
Speaker 1: easy it could have been to just miss her lying there.
31:25
Speaker 1: It was an extremely close call. I can only imagine
31:28
Speaker 1: those friends laying awake at night afterwards wondering what if
31:31
Speaker 1: they hadn't found her. What if they'd simply gone about
31:35
Speaker 1: their day, went home and then later on after hearing
31:38
Speaker 1: about this woman going missing, they'd looked at their photographs
31:41
Speaker 1: and spotted her in the background. Luckily that didn't happen
31:45
Speaker 1: and the story has a partially happy ending, even so
31:48
Speaker 1: it's still a chilling photograph. And finally we'll take a
31:51
Speaker 1: look at this photograph. It was taken in Northern Ireland
31:55
Speaker 1: in the late 90s. It looks fairly innocent. It shows
32:00
Speaker 1: a normal afternoon in a semi-busy town. A young child
32:04
Speaker 1: sat happily on the shoulders of a Spanish tourist named
32:08
Speaker 1: Gonzalo Cabello. This photograph was taken in Omar in County
32:12
Speaker 1: Tyrone on the August 15, 1998. This is the scene
32:17
Speaker 1: of the Omar bombing and active terrorism by the real
32:20
Speaker 1: IRA that resulted in a loss of 29 lives and
32:23
Speaker 1: the injury of more than 200 people. The IRA or
32:27
Speaker 1: the Irish Republican Army had been involved in what is
32:30
Speaker 1: known as the Good Friday Agreement. It was an effort
32:33
Speaker 1: to bring some semblance of peace to the area and
32:36
Speaker 1: attempt to end the seemingly endless bombings, assassinations, and violence
32:40
Speaker 1: of the Troubles. Then there was a splinter group known
32:43
Speaker 1: as the Real IRA. They essentially viewed the IRA's involvement
32:48
Speaker 1: in the Good Friday Agreement as a betrayal of their cause.
32:52
Speaker 1: They sought to continue the campaign of fear that they
32:55
Speaker 1: believed would further their interests. Now let's go back to
32:59
Speaker 1: the photograph because in that Vauxhall Cavalier was a bomb.
33:03
Speaker 1: The bomb was detonated not long after the photograph was taken,
33:06
Speaker 1: but there must have been enough time for the man
33:08
Speaker 1: and the child to walk away because both these people survived. However,
33:13
Speaker 1: the photographer was killed. The victims of the Omar bombing
33:17
Speaker 1: were entirely civilians and non-political targets. The bombing was almost
33:22
Speaker 1: universally condemned. The number of innocent lives taken and ruined
33:27
Speaker 1: by this attack was criticized from all sides which pushed
33:30
Speaker 1: the real IRA further out into the cold. It resulted
33:34
Speaker 1: in far tougher anti-terrorism laws being implemented. It made the
33:39
Speaker 1: day-to-day operations of the paramilitaries on both sides far more
33:43
Speaker 1: difficult and it further fractured the delicate peace, the Good
33:46
Speaker 1: Friday Agreement and managed to broker. The outrage generated by
33:50
Speaker 1: this bombing actually served to make the real IRA's position
33:54
Speaker 1: far worse. It ended up serving as a catalyst for
33:57
Speaker 1: the Northern Ireland peace process and helped secure an uneasy
34:01
Speaker 1: truce between all parties. Politics aside, the fact remains that
34:06
Speaker 1: this completely innocent photograph serves as a telling reminder that
34:09
Speaker 1: nobody really knows what's around the corner. So there you go.
34:13
Speaker 1: a series of innocuous looking photographs with very disturbing backstories.
34:18
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for watching and I hope you
34:20
Speaker 1: found this interesting. Thank you so much for all your support,
34:25
Speaker 1: it's really helping me out. You get to see my
34:28
Speaker 1: recordings at least 24 hours before they're released on the internet. Anyway,
34:33
Speaker 1: here's some more recordings you might enjoy, otherwise look out
34:36
Speaker 1: for me in your recommendations in the future. Thank you
34:40
Speaker 1: once again for watching. Until next time. Goodbye.
