So basically, when people think their house is haunted it’s actually just carbon monoxide?

This reminds me of the dude who posted about about getting positive on a pregnancy test, and a Reddit user said that the test also can tell if he has testicular cancer which he did, I guess Reddit isn’t so bad after all.

The forgetting the note clued me in instantly. Its crazy how the brain tries to warn you about what's going on 😕

Chill outttt. It’s 2 a.m. and I look away just to hear this. 5:47

This is literally the plot of an Ace Attorney case, so I had a hunch this was going to be the twist from the beginning. Still really cool stories though.

Great to see Chill and Grill back again

With the second story with the house, that was 100% sleep paralysis

Reddit: *"Well maybe I don't want to be the bad guy anymore!"*

I'm very intrigued by these ghost hunter skeptics

Well that completely changes the story in The Ghost and Mrs. Muir

This guy makes me plug in my nightlight

Who else is obsessed with Chill? I love that little guy and his voice lol.

I guess I had mild CO exposure last winter from candles I was burning to enlighten my house. I didn't open my windows that often (for the same reason why I needed candles; I don't want to go into details, but it's unrelated to my income), and it probably built up over a few weeks. No hallucinations, fortunately, but I got a bad headache that only got better outside. Had to open wide all windows (ruining all my efforts to keep the place warm, but at least I could sleep there safely). It's quite possible that I will run into the same problem next winter, but... I probably will use flashlights.

It's all fun and games until the carbon monoxide takes the shape of a person and says "hey guys welcome back to competitive breathing"

11:27 “If you think that you might have a CO leak, you should immediately go outside.” Discord mods: That I cannot do.

The “being watched” feeling is the same feeling you get turning off the light in the basement and running up the stairs

Funny thing about the first story: the reddit user did ultimately sue his landlord, given it was basically his fault he almost died.

This is funny when I moved out my parents house my little sister took my old room. Because I lived next to the boiler and I put CO2 detectors all over the basement because of it. It never happened to me but I told my little sister The moment you start hearing beeping noises exit the basement immediately. So me being an older brother one holiday I made something to imitate the beeping sound of a smoke detector, after my little sister failed to wake up I yelled at her saying" you just died". The crazy thing happened about 2 weeks later CO2 detectors went off but this time she was prepared. My over cautiousness saved my sister life.

Old Victorian homes often had "servant passages" where the servants would move about to be "unseen" by the masters of the house

My grandmother once possibly saved my entire family's life from CO poisoning. We lived in an apartment at the time so obviously had a smoke detector installed. One day, she randomly decides to give us another one (that talks) that also doubled as a CO detector. Like, she had no real reason, she bought it and didn't need it so she gave it to us. Despite already having the previous mentioned set up, my dad went ahead and turned this one on and placed it in the living room. Cue two weeks later and sure enough, one night we hear "warning, carbon monoxide!". I stuffed the cat into her carrier and we waited for everybody else to come outside. The fire department came and found the leak. It hadn't gotten too bad yet thankfully as nobody felt sick, but who knows what would have happened without grandma's magic detector.

I woke up confused and feeling a sense of dread. I remember reading that those could be symptoms of C.O poisoning, I called the fire department and sure enough it was. I got lucky that day. We had a C.O detector but it didn't go off.

The worst of all is that this type of gas is barley noticeable, so unluckily there are cases that don't end up alive.

PSA: CO Detectors are only good for 5-7 years. You might have multiple CO Detectors, but when's the last time you changed them?

Heme adheres to CO stronger then O2, heme is what carries oxygen in the blood. It is the functional part of hemoglobin and the reason you need iron

My dad is a general contractor. When he saw the carbon monoxide detector on the wall (where maintenance put it), he said it would do no good there. By the time it goes off, we'd be dead. It needed to be lower to the ground because the carbon monoxide is more dense.

The stories may have turned out rather mundane, but it is fascinating how the first guy was able to write "Our landlord isn't letting me talk to you, but it's important we do." to himself in his sleep. Like another commenter mentioned, it was like the subconscious was able to tell he was being poisoned, and that the landlord was at fault, but the conscious brain couldn't tell anything was happening. I guess our inner voice may be smarter than we think!

As soon as the gas lamps were mentioned for Ms. H's home I figured it would all come down to CO poisoning, but still very wild stories!

“Can you explain the love a mother has for her child” - yeah. Oxytocin

HANG ON A MINUTE The guy didn't have his PC password protected?!?!

In my UN we had a lab dedicated to carbon monoxide research (such as purification). We used to work alone while the reactors run, until one day a girl was found “sleeping” by a passer… she was just moments from being dead (our CO detectors were faulty).

4chan would do this drunk, high, and everything in-between

As Patrick once said, “ Wow, you guys are good, I was the last person I would’ve suspected, but I was looking for me all this time!”

So, I am NOT watching this right before sleep. Cya tomorrow!

Shout out to the skeptic “ghost” hunters. They saved that lady’s life.

Your body doesn’t use it “instead” of oxygen, carbon monoxide binds super strongly to haemoglobin and forms more stable structure than compared with oxygen which is why it’s dangerous as it stops oxygen from binding/takes its place instead.

hmmm, guy leaving notes to himself and having no memory of doing so? think i'll rewatch memento this weekend.

*This will give my mom an excuse to browse through reddit every day*

I’ve read the landlord notes story on Reddit a few years back, nice to see it in a brew video.

One thing I'm surprised you didn't mention, since you mentioned the webcam, is that the reason he couldn't find the recording is because, in his delirium, he never actually set it up to record (and I think never even plugged it in). Also he later reported all the post-it notes were his handwriting.

My old chemistry teacher always made a point to teach about carbon monoxide and it’s effects, and that it may not be obvious to you but when your detector goes off, listen to it, and do NOT go back to sleep. Just so happens that one of his students had one go off and while their family thought it was a false alarm, the student insisted on getting out of the house, saved all of their lives

Reddit is so "reliable" nowadays

Man I just realized how stiff and unflexible adults’ beliefs are.

A young man emerges from his bedroom, he stalks down the hallway and out of the corner of his eye, he sees him *Shia Labeouf*

When I moved into my first apartment, I bought a gas stove from a friend. At the time we didn’t know the carbon monoxide detector didn’t have batteries. When we hooked up the stove, everything seemed fine. My boyfriend went to work and my roommate wen to visit friends, so I was left alone in the apartment. Well, I was in my first trimester of pregnancy at the time I think. And I was laying in bed and it suddenly felt like I couldn’t breathe. I opened the window and laid my head next to it to get fresh air. After a while my roommate came home and immediately pointed out that it smelled really bad like gas. I guess, since I was in the apartment the whole time, my nose became blind to the smell of natural gas so I didn’t know. Well, at that point I was also feeling faint despite laying my head next to the open window. So I was taken to the hospital. I had to have so much blood work done and they made sure to see me quick since I am also pregnant. I ended up being okay and got discharged. I came home and my roommate said he found a little hole in the hose that was used to connect the stove to the gas hook up. So he patched it up and made sure it was completely sealed. We then wondered why the alarms didn’t go off so we took them off the wall and checked the batteries. There were no batteries. So basically, I almost died lol.

I'm a CO poisoning survivor. It happened in an RV with a faulty (new!!) detector. It felt like the world was bending in half when I stood still, and I was so sick I often couldn't eat. Hiking high in the canyons with all that fresh air probably saved my life. By the time I went to the hospital, it had been 7 days. I still had elevated CO. It is very uncommon to survive this poisoning. If you ever wake up feeling dizzy or like you can't keep your balance, don't wait. Get care before it's too late

I was expecting the twists to be all drug use related. It was instead people inadvertently tripping off oxygen depravation.

Co2 leak in an apartment: *exists* Sticky notes: Whoms't has awakened the ancient one

Once again, haunted houses being explained. Though this is creepier, since you could actually have died from the 'ghosts' in a real physical way.

Many years ago I had a dream of a room-filling with gases. Towards the end of it, I was screaming at everyone telling them to leave! I woke up to the strong odor of propane. Scared awake I ran to the kitchen opening the front door as I ran by. Shut off the stove that wasn't lit and just filling the house up. Our best guess was that the cat jumped up there and twisted the knob. Could of been a lot worse.

Waking up paralized while hallucinating is symptom of sleep paralysis. So not all of those are attributable to CO. She might be too tired that night.

As someone that experiences sleep paralysis every night, I'm particularly freaked that something popped in my room when the daemon hand touched that woman. And now I'm pretty sure I'm a part of this story. I'm buying a meter

I heard a story from @MrBallen that is similar to the first story. (This is an extremely shortened version). A young woman lived in an apartment building. She hated going outside, and her landlord realized it, so she’d drop off fresh meals and fresh groceries. They had a nice relationship. The young woman then started seeing things moved and missing. When she saw no break in, she blamed the landlord. But after setting up a camera, it turned out to be the landlords son who stole his mother’s keys. He’d take her stuff, move it, and watch her sleep. He was arrested if I’m correct.

2 weeks ago me and my family went on a trip to a mountain home. I had these exact symptoms, feeling of dread, increased heart rate, difficulty breathing and even auditory illusions. The weird part is im the only one who experienced these symptoms and now that were back home everything is back to normal. Its perplexing

I know this is an old video, but there’s one small problem: CO poisoning doesn’t make you turn blue. It makes you turn red. CO is dangerous, not because it displaces oxygen in the room, but because it binds to hemoglobin even more readily than oxygen. It displaces all the room in your blood cells! That’s why it’s dangerous at such low concentrations. It also makes your blood very, very red. Random useless fact: because of its flesh and blood brightening tendencies, CO used to be used to treat meat to make it look redder. Nowadays, most bright red meat is due to that thin, plastic film being permeable to oxygen to keep it bright (yes, that is confirmed by the scientists who make it and the scientists who make the equipment used in plastic quality control). If you want your meat to stay fresh longer, buy the airtight stuff in the vacuum sealed packs.

"Out of the corner of his eye, he sees it" *Shia LaBeouf*

You didn’t say when the redditors hunted down the culprit

I don’t think Quiz is well integrated into the show as is, it feels like she’s filling Brew’s role when it’s… already filled. Maybe she’d fit better in her own series?

Haven't watched it, now heres me guess: Carbon Monoxide

Does that mean reddit will be able to find who left me a note saying "ur adopted" on my bed?

I love brews content

My friend died of the intoxicațion. She was found by parents Who were downstairs face down, with the hand close to doorhandle. So she sense something was wrong and tried to exit. The strangest thing is that she painted her self portrati as Venus with a gas mask on just a year before and it was her msot praised painting, it was huge too (2 meters canvas) - it was for a project, we were în art univeristy. If that was it forshadowing.....is the one tiem she painted herself, she usually painted dogs or landscapes.

Lesion of the story: always keep a window open to not poison yourself.

Idk, I still think Quiz is a weird addition to the Brew Crew. Still not sold on it.

Brew fills that hole that Sam o Nella left.

5:58 She knows how to No-Clip

3:45 yeah occult bookstores usually aren’t bright and positive places...

when a 'reddit moment' actually saves you

My parents had kids before me, they both died from carbon monoxide poisoning, Christy and Bobby, Corfu.

I had carbon monoxide poisoning once and I kept passing out and vomiting and I had a horrible headache. I remember right after I was carried out of the house and the first moments getting fresh air again and my sister and I laying on the deck not knowing what was happening. Then we went to the ER. Carbon monoxide detectors are important and having your furnace serviced every winter.

Reddit havent saved only 1 life. It saved many lives. There are many subreddits for suicidal people where many suicidal people got cheered up by redditors to live.

4:31 Yes i can explain both. In a nutshell: Sunrise: Planetary Movement Motherly Love: Hormones and And Genetically Related Brainfunctions

As soon as I saw, “Reddit saves his life.” I clicked it.

Read this on reddit before, so crazy

I heard wood moving around the attic now and then my whole childhood like someone was up there, but I'm pretty sure it was the house structure moving a little, since japanese houses are built pretty loosely with wood.

Me & my whole family could have died from CO poisoning a couple years ago. Luckily my mom knew her stuff and there was another type of gas/smoke coming from our boiler that I believe could be seen (? terrible memory lol) and she noticed the symptoms she was having and called the fire department. Strange night, good story!

The only time Reddit has ever been useful.

man, i was so creeped out. luckily it was just some science stuff.

Story 2 - it's called a anxiety/panic and paranoia.

I cannot emphasize this enough. HAVE CO DETECTORS IN YOUR HOME. All floors. Make sure they are in working order. Check batteries/replace if needed. Here is my story of CO poisoning: Hubby and I had gotten out of the military in 1988, and we were living in our 32 foot (9.75 meter) travel trailer on rented land. I had for pets a cat, dog, and a starling. I'd gotten the starling as a nestling fallen from a nest. Raised it and it learned to imitate human voices. It stayed in a cage when not supervised but was allowed the run of the trailer otherwise. So hubby and I were under stress and we had been bickering. He was uncommonly grouchy and seemed a bit "off" for a couple of days; I remember feeling "fuzzy" mentally and having a hard time getting up to go to work the previous day. This day I groggily got up; hubby had stalked outside to take care of something in the yard. I looked at the birdcage and to my horror, the little starling was sprawled on the bottom of the cage, barely alive. I grabbed the bird and ran outside to show it to hubby. He and I stared at it as it breathed its last. Then hubby's mouth dropped open as we both realized that we were being poisoned. Hubby went over to the propane heating system and tested it: yes we had an exhaust leak. If it weren't for that bird and its much more delicate respiratory system sounding the alarm that day, we might have not survived the next night. "Canary in a coal mine", indeed. For those who will ask: the dog and cat were both outside and weren't affected. This was 1990 and CO detectors were not a common thing for homes.

Do you tubers just read Reddit stories and make them into videos? I swear half the videos I see is something I’ve already seen on Reddit.

8:57 *OMGGG THE YANNY/LAUREL SOUNDDDDDD!*

This is interesting. When I was a child, I had constant feeling of dread and presence ghosts when I was in my home. Now I think of it, it might have been co2.

I used to go to art classes in this large building a while back, with a big underground parking lot. One day, my family and a couple of others entered the parking lot and it was really hard to breath. We rushed outside and someone called the police, and we learned that the parking lot was filled with CO due to the main vent breaking. A few hours later we went to a burger joint and saw a bunch of emergency vehicles rushing in the building's direction. I hope that everyone got out safely.

I'm so glad to live in a country that doesn't widely use this particular kind of heating. Although I was once gassed by a neighbour who emptied a BBQ LPG cylinder in their back yard and there was so much it filled the second story of our house. I woke up because of the noxious smell added to the gas for safety. I was about 3 months pregnant at the time and oh boy was I angry.

4:31uh yes? But it's really long I don't want to talk about it

Dude it’s 10:45 while I’m watching this and I’m constantly switching the lights on and off as I hear noises

1 week after giving birth with my baby, the carbon monoxide alarm went off. I remember feeling so much dread and fear. I started sobbing. I realized that maybe it was actually serious when I started feeling very weak and dizzy

As soon the second story started I was like aww shucks that's Carrie Poppy she talked about the story alot on her podcast and I believe a Ted talk

I already know this story but I love the way Brew explains stuff

omg

Isn't it crazy how all the ghosts disappear when people find out what are the problems are

Imagine getting all these wierd eerie feelings and “hallucinations” only to find out that u don’t have a carbon monoxide leak 💀

The moment they mentioned the gas lanterns in the third story and said that the family started feeling depressed, I knew the answer had to be CO poisoning.

Carrie Poppy has an amazing podcast where she and her co-host investigate spirituality, fringe science, and claims of the paranormal from a skeptical layman's perspective. I highly recommend it for any Brew fan. :)

See mom! I told you reddit is useful!

Why didn’t he put a password on his computer?

8:20 its clearly sleep paralysyz

Carbon monoxide doesn't explain the sheets being pulled off of her at 7:38 though.
