I make cute videos about strange, forgotten or eerie things. I'm based in Edinburgh, but travel all over the place to find weird things to share. Got a suggestion? Let me know!
I Just Saw A Movie About This. It Was 2 Brothers, Who find A Hole In The Ground After Their Father Died, Find A Generator, A Hole In The Wall. But Inside Was??????????
nowadays people think just some titanium on the surface can withstand a nuclear bomb, basically the only bombs most people know today are: nuclear bomb, dynamite. edit: im just saying, no hate to anybody. except max design pro [JOKE]
I was away from Glasgow from 1967 to 1996. The sounds and smells and the feeling of air pressure change with the arriving trains transported me back to my childhood.
Not forgetting that Glasgow also had an extensive network of tramcars , with their legendary clippies, reaching out of the City aswell as the underground. Abandoned and overgrown trackbed and embankmentss can still be seen. There was the Kilmarnock Bogie, which had 4 wheels to get round tight curves for that route rather than the 4/ 4 wheel sets for other routes. As a child I watched them at the interchange Gibson Street /University Ave./ from my Gt Aunts at 54 Gibson St. Also think I recall stepping down into the car when boarding and up when alighting.on the Underground. The inertia wheel which provided the continuously moving cable is on display.
I watch it now and it looks completely fake and cheesey.. But no joke, as a 9 year old kid this genuinely scared the life out of me for a long time... I think that's the most scared I'd ever been as a kid
I always stop at Obama Plaza when travelling across Ireland. One of my favourite photographs of all time (sadly not in this upload) is that of a very elderly lady dressed in her Sunday best sitting on her bed in a dark bedroom that has not seen a makeover since the 50s holding a US Flag awaiting the Obamas arrival to Moneygall...worth the stop alone to see it!
PSAs about nuclear war often get a bad rap because modern audiences assume they're intended to protect you from being vaporised by a direct hit. In reality... the majority of casualties from nuclear weapons would likely be from the blast wave and the aftermath. People being hurt by bursting windows, collapsing rooves or lack of food/medical care afterwards. If you were unlucky enough to be at ground zero then yeah... you're dead. But everyone else absolutely should stop drop and cover.
Good point. Duck and cover would definitely have helped reduce injury in areas that didn't take a direct hit... but knowing what would come after, I'm not sure I'd want to survive!
@@ghostsoc We can see what the aftermath would be like by examining Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There was a complete destruction of urban services and supplies, but the countryside was relatively unaffected and food shipments remained in place. The biggest challenges would have been similar to those in conventional bombing campaigns: Tending the wounded and disposing of the dead. And arguably those tasks would be easier than incendiary bombing campaigns such as Dresden where children and other refugees were melted in bomb shelters.
I'm sceptical about his supposed Irish heritage, I'm even less convinced someone just happened to find an Irish ancestor when his campaign needed it. As a politician his image is very carefully curated, managed and censored. The plaza is a bit of a joke here. Most people assume naming it after him was to try to give the business venture some buoyancy and ride on his coat tails a bit. Interesting video anyhow. I happened to be there myself a few days ago.
@@ghostsoc Most US presidents do it. They suddenly find or invent some 10th generation Irish relative to appeal to the Irish vote. Then they forget all about it until patrick's day. It's just marketing.
Thank you Fascinating Horror for introducing me to another FASCINATING channel! Just when I was running out of interesting things to listen to at work, I'm excited to discover more through you!
Yes! Ted the Caver! I'm old as shit. This is the first creepy pasta I ever saw. Back before the term creepy pasta existed. 😂 it's a good one. Read it in the dark.
As well-written as the supernatural stuff in the story is, it's still not as scary to me as the idea of getting stuck in that narrow freaking cave squeeze. I'm not even particularly claustrophobic, but I hate it so, so much. Caving accidents really creep me out in a way few other things do. Just NOPE.
I remember the day the Golden Eagle hotel partly collapsed and had to be pulled down. Outside the shops also at the Presto you could go hire wee bikes and go round a "mini town" at the rooftops to the side and drive around when you mum was in Presto. I absolutely loved it
I worked in presto for about 18 months till 1981 then it closed down like a week before Christmas.! We used to go to the town hall disco, and me and my mates were punks!
I moved to Cumbernauld in my 40s, having grown up in East Kilbride. It really is a complete shitehole with no words adequate to describe the dreadfulness of the place. The town centre really epitomises how not to deliver and execute a new town.
