• 0:11
  Speaker 1: discretion is strongly advised. Travis the Chimp Back in 1995,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Sandra and Jerome Harold bought a baby chimp as a
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: pet and named him Travis. Travis was surprisingly smart. He
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: could unlock doors with a key, take baths, and dress himself.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Pretty soon, the whole town knew him. But after Sandra
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: lost her husband and daughter, things took a weird turn.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: She started treating Travis like her own kid. They even
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: shared the same bed and took baths together. Everything seemed
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: fine until 2009. On February 16th, Sandra's friend, Sharla Nash,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: came over to visit. Out of nowhere, Travis just snapped
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: and brutally attacked her. Sandra tried everything to stop him.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: She hit him with a shovel and even stabbed him
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: with a knife. But the chimp wouldn't stop. Desperate, Sandra
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: dialed 911. That call is still known as one of
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the most terrifying recordings on the internet. At first, the
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: police thought it was a joke. But once Sandra screamed,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: he's eating her, they rushed to the house and shot
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Travis on the spot. Charla Nash somehow survived, but her
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: injuries were devastating. Doctors noted she lost her eyelids, nose, lips,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: mid-facebone structure, and nine fingers. Losing Travis completely broke Sandra Harreld.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: She later said, I'm like hollow now. He slept with
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: me every night. Until you've eaten with a chimp and
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: bathed with a chimp, you don't know a chimp. Golden
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: State Killer Golden State Killer is one of the most
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: brutal and terrifying serial killers that killed 13 people between
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: 1974 and 1986 across California. He broke into houses and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: brutally killed entire families. However, before breaking into the house,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: he stalked his victim for weeks to know about his
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: daily routine. Golden State Killer often entered the victim's home
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to unload weapons and unlock doors days before killing. He
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: moved from town to town and was very careful, so
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the police didn't realize for a long time that the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: same guy was doing all of this. They gave him
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: different nicknames because they thought they were looking for different criminals.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: The police had many sketches and phone recordings of his voice.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: but they couldn't catch him for 40 years. However, in 2018,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: authorities used new DNA technology. They took DNA from an
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: old crime scene and uploaded it to a public family
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: history website called GDmatch. The website found his distant relatives,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and the police used a family tree to track him down.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: They arrested a 72-year-old former police officer named Joseph James D'Angelo,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and he finally was sent to prison for life. Ruth Price, 911, call.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: The Ruth Price 911 call is one of the most
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: famous and disturbing audio recordings on the internet haunting listeners
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: for decades. What makes it so infamous isn't just the
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: sheer terror of the situation, but the blood-curdling scream that
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: abruptly ends the recording. So who was Ruth Price and
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: what actually happens on that call? The audio begins with
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: an elderly woman calling emergency services to report a suspicious
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: man wandering around her home. She explains that he claims
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to be looking for a guy who lives in the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: building's back apartment. The problem is, Ruth lives alone, and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: there is no such neighbor. As the conversation continues, the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: dispatcher asks for the man's current location, but Ruth doesn't know.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: That's when the operator makes a fatal mistake. Early in
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the call, Ruth attempts to give her address, but the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: operator cuts her off to ask more questions about the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: suspect instead. In emergency dispatching, failing to secure a location
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: immediately is a catastrophic error. Seconds later, the line goes dead,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: followed by the terrifying sound of Ruth being attacked. For years,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the recording was treated as a terrifying piece of real-world history.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: It reportedly circulated through emergency training programs as a textbook
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: example of why securing an address must always be a
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: dispatcher's top priority. However, despite its widespread reputation, no official
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: agency or training organization has ever verified the tape's authenticity
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: or origin. The audio first surfaced online in August 2000
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: on the website 911.com. The site's creator believed the tape
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: was real, suggesting it likely predated modern 911 systems but
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: provided no official paper trail. Over the years, internet sleuths
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: tried to solve the case, linking the call to various
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: obituaries for women named Ruth Price from 1988 or 1994
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and attaching random photos to her name. In reality, every
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: single one of those theories has been thoroughly debunked. Ultimately,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the story of Ruth Price is almost certainly an urban legend.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: While it reflects the very real tragic nightmare dispatchers face
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: when they can't reach a victim in time, the audio
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: itself remains an unverified ghost of the early internet, a
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: terrifying story with no real proof behind it. Timothy Treadwell
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: The story of Timothy Treadwell is one of the most
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: polarizing and tragic tales of human obsession with the wild.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: To some, he was a passionate conservationist. To others, a
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: deeply delusional man who crossed lines nature never intended to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: be crossed. But almost everyone agrees on one thing. The
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: horrific way his life ended remains one of the most
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: chilling real-world stories on the internet. For 13 consecutive summers,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Treadwell lived among wild grizzly bears in Alaska's Katmai National Park,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: completely unprotected. He didn't use electric fences, didn't carry bear spray,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and regularly approached massive 2,000-pound apex predators as if they
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: were domestic pets. He gave them cute nicknames like Chocolate
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and Mr. Chocolate, filmed hundreds of hours of close-range video footage,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and convinced himself that he had formed a spiritual bond
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: with them. He truly believed he was their protector, frequently
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: claiming he was willing to die for them. Tragically, that
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: statement became a reality in October 2003. Treadwell and his girlfriend,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Amy Huguenard, decided to extend their stay late into the autumn,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: a time when food was scarce and older, aggressive grizzlies
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: were desperately hunting for calories before hibernation. A massive starving
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: bear entered their campsite. What followed was a brutal nightmare.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Treadwell was attacked inside his tent, and as Amy tried
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to fight the bear off with a frying pan, both
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: were mauled to death and partially consumed. When state troopers
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: arrived at the devastated campsite, they found the bear still
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: guarding the remains and were forced to shoot it on
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the spot. But the most horrifying discovery inside the tent
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: was Treadwell's video camera. The lens cap had been left on,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: but the camera was recording, capturing six agonizing minutes of
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: raw audio of their final moments. The audio of their
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: deaths has never been released to the public and remains
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: one of the most sought-after pieces of lost media in existence.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: The few people who have actually heard it including director
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Werner Herzog, while filming his documentary Grizzly Man, describe it
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: as so utterly traumatic that Herzog famously urged Treadwell's close
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: friend to destroy the tape and never listen to it.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Timothy Treadwell wanted to prove that humans and apex predators
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: could live in harmony, but his story ultimately serves as
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: a brutal reminder of what happens when you mistake wild
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: instincts for affection. Amber Alert If you live in North America,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: you've almost certainly experienced it. Your phone suddenly lets out
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: an ear-splitting, alarm-like screech accompanied by a flashing pop-up notification.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: It's an Amber Alert, a system designed to turn an
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: entire population into eyes and ears for law enforcement in
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the critical first hours of a child abduction. But behind
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: that jarring digital siren is a heartbreaking real-world crime that
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: changed missing child investigations forever. The system was created in
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: 1996 following the brutal kidnapping and murder of nine-year-old Amber
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Hagerman in Arlington, Texas. Amber was riding her bicycle near
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: her grandparents' home when a man in a pickup truck
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: violently snatched her off her bike. A neighbor witnessed the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: abduction and called the police within minutes. But back then,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: there was no centralized mechanism to broadcast that information to
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the public quickly. Four days later, Amber's body was found
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: in a storm drain just a few miles away. The
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: outrage and grief from the local community prompted broadcasters and
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: law enforcement to team up creating the Amber Alert System,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: which stands for America's Missing, broadcast emergency response to ensure
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: that next time, every driver, TV viewer, and neighbor would
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: know exactly what car to look for before it was
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: too late. Since its inception, the system has helped safely
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: recover over a thousand children, proving to be one of
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the most effective public safety tools ever developed. But as
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: it expanded to mobile phones nationwide, it also sparked a
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: complex controversy. Over-issuing alerts, particularly in the middle of the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: night for custody disputes, where a child is taken by
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: a non-custodial parent rather than a stranger, led to a
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: phenomenon known as alert fatigue. millions of people began turning
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: off emergency notifications on their phones altogether out of frustration,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: threatening to undermine the entire purpose of the system. Still,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: when that terrifying alarm blares through your speaker, it serves
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: as a stark, immediate reminder that somewhere nearby, a child's
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: life is hanging in the balance. Hansel and Gretel. And now,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: let's run a test on you. Listen to this recording.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Now check our pinned comment below this post for an explanation.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: If you heard what we said, you're a pedophile and
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you belong in prison. This is a pedophilia test by
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the Hensel and Gretel Foundation, which first surfaced in Germany
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: back in 2004. The recording shocked many listeners at the time.
