The Bizarre Voodoo World Of New Orleans 

Ryan gets possessed Shane: It's just a phase

the real voodoo magic is how she just drew that perfect circle on the ground witchcraft

Ryan: * describing how he would kill Shane with a voodoo doll * Shane: wait, what

i *_adore_* this woman...she opens a portal to hell and then goes and gets a sandwich like, "brb guys gl" LMFAO

"You should come in backwards," Shane: "why?" "Well REALLY you should come in dancing," Shane: "Well in that case!"

Shane: *Stands in a demon room* Also Shane: "So I took this improv comedy class.."

ryan: talks about a man who murdered and dismembered his girlfriend *gets an ad for salad dressing*

In this episode I feel like Shane was actually kinda sad/disappointed that he couldn't fully believe in it, and I call that character development

demon: *pushes shane down* shane: it was probably only the wind ryan: *swallows bottles of holy water*

The fact that the spirits literally whimpered at the mention of Shane freaking kills me.

*ghost holds conversation with Shane* Shane: Wow my imagination is so wild sometimes

Bloody Mary and Shane: *laughing at how the fan is moving without electricity* Ryan: *having a mental breakdown*

*nervously dances through the voodoo gateway*

*a full bodied ghost appears in front of shane* Shane: *shrugs*

Bloody Mary: there hasnt been electricity here for a year cuz of the fire Shane: hm how odd! Ryan: *having a mental breakdown in the corner*

When Ryan asked the spirit in the house, "is there anything you want to say to the giant?" (Referencing Shane), that's when they picked up a distinct whimper of what sounded like fear. Zach (the man who murdered his girlfriend in that house), was 6'8". I think about that moment in this episode a lot.

Ryan forcing himself to dance while he’s clearly freaking out was hilarious lmaooo

"voodoo is not always a negative practice" *still plays creepy music throughout*

ryan: "i feel happier" shane: "ryan's having a rough time tonight, poor guy"

“Less than a decade after the murder, a woman named Mary “Voodoo Queen” Millan leased the building on Rampart Street and set up shop as “Bloody Mary Haunted Museum and Tour.” For a fee, visitors are let into the Bowen/Hall apartment to view the very stove and fridge where Hall’s remains were found. Reports are that the apartment was decorated like a schlocky horror film, complete with fake-blood splashes and a bride-and-groom set of Chucky dolls. One friend of the couple called it “despicable and atrociously exploitative.” And I agree - the event was horrible enough. Decorating it like some cheap slasher flick turns it into entertainment, erasing the reality of the actual people who lived and died in that apartment.”

its nice that shane was respectful of her religion even though hes a skeptic

Ryan: "What about the giant?" "Whimper" Guys it's official. Spirits are scared of Shane

Ryan: *gets possessed, crawls down the stairs backwards, yells* Shane: damn that's some good gymnastics, have you been taking lessons?

Ryan jumping over the wall and Shane just casually filming was probably the most funniest thing ever 🤣 3:33

Ryan: *sitting on the floor scared to death, explaining his child fears. Shane: I took an improv comedy class once.

"I took an improv comedy class once, cause I'm a white guy"- Shane, June 9, 2017

I love how even though Shane is an open skeptic and teases the “spirits”. He was still respectful and didn’t make fun of voodoo.

Okay, but Ryan frantically jumping at the fence to reach the top while Shane stood there at eye height with it killed me.

I dunno what I expected when Mary said “excuse me, I’m gonna feed the spirits now”, but it wasn’t that 🤣💀

Shane back then: "If there's anyone here, feel free to reach out to me." Shane now: "I want you rip my heart out! Make me bleed!"

14:15 Bloody Mary just starts straight up giving Ryan therapy.

I knew I recognized that house right away! I've read that there was a voodoo shop and that the owner was organizing some really distasteful tours to Zach and Addie's apartment. A tragic, painful story. Should not be sensationalized. As shouldn't be voodoo itself. Alas, here we are.

Did anyone else think it was adorable when Shane said, "Ryan, sometimes we argue on this show, I don't want to murder you!" 2:44

Ryan: Did you just tug on my shirt? Shane: No, we're not in the room with y- Ryan: *not you*

i love that mary opens the spirit world and then goes to get food, a big mood 😂😂😂

Not sorry but if I were to go to a voodoo practitioner and she was a white lady that called herself Bloody Mary, I'd walk right back out. No way that's legit.

"I took an improv comedy class once, cuz I'm a white guy" is the most underrated Shane quote

I love that even tho Shane makes fun of ghosts and stuff and tries to be funny, he knows when to stop and be respectful. Wish more ppl can learn that

Shane - I took a improv comedy class because I’m a white guy 😂😂😂

"and where you a scared child?" Ryan- "All the time" Shane- "I took a improve class once"

"Spirits, Ryan and Shane..." * me internally: * *what about the camraman*

Ryan: /is having an experience/ Shane: I took an improv comedy class once.

Shane: *Gets dragged out of bed and across the room by demon* Shane: "Wow I rolled over a little too far"

Now that I'm watching this again,I wish they would've sought out a black practitioner, someone who could really delve into the history and lineage of voodoo/hoodoo and its connections and such. Especially since technically it is a closed practice.

"That's Jody." "The doll?" "No, the f*cking chair."

Ryan: *pulls the door* oh it's a push... Shane: yeah... It's a push Ryan: I-I-I didn't see the sign.... Shane: Yeah I know. Their friendship is so pure I love it.

When Shane said that he just wanted to believe in something my heart literally broke

as a witch i wish they had talked to more black women who were the root of voodoo culture

IM SORRY BUT I LOST IT WHEN THE LADY SPIT OUT HER DRINK TO FEED THE SPIRITS

ryan-*gets an entire limb ripped off by a demon* shane-that's some great animation there

As someone who's lived in Southern Louisiana for more than 90% of their life, it kills me that they label what is clearly an owl as a whimper.

Shane: *gets slammed on the floor by demon* "Oh it was just gravity"

Spirit: *whisper* you are going to die Shane: *wow probably just the people on the street*

Even ghosts crack open a cold one with the boys.

Your voodoo queen you hung out with is a bit sensational in her practice in front of the camera. I believe in voodoo and many kinds of witchcraft as I am wiccan myself, but tbh comes off a bit like she's putting on a show. Like she's a tourist attraction that the people of the city are in on but visitors really believe.

Ryan: Is there a reason why there's a circle of rocks in this little door Mary: Maybe Ryan: *panicked nervous laughter*

*Ghost lights shane on fire* Shane: oh human combustion

I'm dead asf somebody actually gave the spirits some NYX cosmetics lmfaooo

13:48 i really relate with shane here. i'm also a skeptic (and i'm an atheist, all of that) but i really desperately want to believe in a higher power and supernatural things. i've tried *so hard* to make myself believe in so many things- from mainstream religions to pagan practices. its just... physically impossible for me to believe in anything but science, and it makes me sad. it feels like i'm missing out on something. not to mention that believing in religion/spiritual things most often involves an afterlife or *something* after death, which is a huge comfort. other people get that comfort and i don't. for me, death is... death. its a full stop. you just cease, but you don't even know you're ceased because you can't know because you don't exist anymore. at least other people can believe in a heaven where they see loved ones again. i don't think people realise how lucky they are to believe in something like that. people have a built-in comfort and support system and something to give them hope when they are struggling with something, but i don't get that. i also think spirituality is beautiful, there's something graceful about it. and i want to be a part of it. but no matter how hard i try, i just can't believe and it makes me sad. also, really appreciate mary having a therapy session with ryan. its really important to talk out anxieties and find the source to deal with them.

Ryan: I feel happy, the spirit is scared of me. Shane: I took an improve comedy class because I'm a white guy

The scariest thing so far was Shane's depressing monologue about improv...

I cannot believe nobody is talking about Shane actually feeling a tug at his shirt lmaooo

Knocking thrice to alert the Spirits before entering feels like something the Celts might do for the Faeries, or the Finns for the Elves. I wish you guys had consulted Black practitioners, though, instead of a couple of White people. It would have been nice to learn from people with an ancestral connection to the practice.

Did someone actually put a NYX Butter Gloss on the altar in the voodoo shop?? As a makeup lover, I could never😂

Bro she just drew a perfect circle... A PERFECT CIRCLE

Random person: *walking down the street* Ryan a Shane: *screaming Marie and trying to look over a cemetery wall* Random person: ??????????????

Bloody Mary leaving them alone w/ the spirit realm while she goes to eat is like when your mom leaves you at the check out to go back into the store and grab something she forgot.

*shane gets dragged violently down the hall by a ghost* Shane: whoa! That was one hell of a trip!!

the only thing demonic about the video is how perfectly she drew that circle

Shane *Alexander* Madej. *ALEXANDER.* *A L E X A N D E R.* *OF COURSE THE DEMON’S MIDDLE NAME WOULD MEAN PROTECTOR OF HUMANITY.*

I WILL ADMIT... Shane is a VERY rare person when it comes to literally owning up to something if/when he was wrong. PLUS he never blames anyone else but himself, nor passes the 'buc' if it didn't go his way. (Which is extremely rare to find in a person. And not just in this episode, but all of them! He legit seems like a really good friend and human being! IF INDEED HE IS AN ACTUAL HUMAN BEING??)👽👽👽

shane: "i don't really wanna talk about what happened in there" ryan: "i d0Nt rEaLLy wAnna tAlK aBouT whAt haPpEnEd iN tHEre"

3:32 Ryan desperately jumping to reach wall *Shane casually just standing there without any help*

Ryan gets lifted into the air by an unseen force and then gets thrown into a volcano that's 10 miles away. Shane: Probably just the wind

BuzzWheeze Unsolved Edit: HOLY OMG I DIDNT THINK I WOULD GET THIS MANY LIKES

Can you guys change the howl at the intro to Shane's Bigfoot call please? It would make my life 1000x better

*Ghost grabs Shane and throws him to the ceiling * Shane: jeez that gravity is strong today

This episode was just straight up a therapy session for Ryan and Shane

If I was a ghost I would definitely challenge myself with scaring Shane

ryan: its a spirit!!! shane: iTs a SpiRiT

Let me feed the spirits. *violently spits at them*

The whimper they hear after Ryan asks "Is there anything you would like to say to the giant man?" makes me think Addie was there. She was murdered in the home by an ex-military man named Zach, who was 6'8, and I think that's why she whimpered :(

"i took an improv class once... cause im a white guy" shane madej everyone

I like how even the cameraman danced to get in lol

*shane randomly gets his leg ripped off* Shane-pffft that's what legs do!!

I've always thought voodoo was interesting, and enjoyed this video where Mary was teaching Shane and Ryan about voodoo and explaining things to them... until I read the comments saying that Mary is a horrible person who is using this house and the murder of Addie as a kind of sick profit for herself. I did a simple google search and found out that she really is a horrible person, and now I don't like this video anymore

gonna feed the spirits ya'll ready spirits for ur meal? *spits in their face* spirits: yummy

a ghost could deadass say “hey shane it’s me ya boi” and shane would say “whoooo. what a strong wind”

'im gonna buy you one for Christmas" "shut up Shane"

Sad that the ghoul boy's unsolved adventures are coming to a close and have been re-watching old and forgotten (at least in my mind) videos. As a born and raised New Orleans native I was really excited to rediscover this episode until about 2 minutes in.... Voodoo is a closed practice which means someone who is NOT of African descent can not participate. You went to a fake voodoo store created and run by a bunch of white people who probably drifted into the city in their late 20s and stayed so they could profit off of a religion which isn't even f*cking for them. This video should be unlisted. I would love to see buzzfeed unsolved return to the big easy and redo this episode with ACTUAL Voodoo practitioners because the people who claim to in this video are grifters, frauds, and only doing this to put money in their pockets. They aren't Voodoo Priests and Priestesses or whatever other b*llsh*t title they want to give themselves, they are thieves.

WHEN SHE SPAT OMG I CHOKED 😂😂😂

Ryan:*having a life changing moment* Shane: I took a improv comedy class once, cause I´m a white guy oh Shane...

These guys are the only good things left on ButtFeed.

I don't know if it's just a coincidence, but here in the Philippines, particularly in Visayas and possibly Mindanao, we have an urban legend called "Maria Labo". It is said that she was a woman who delved into witchcraft or voodoo and ate her children. The stories surrounding her were different and many, but this bit was what was consistent with every single one. Now that I hear "Marie Laveau", I believe they're the same person and the pronunciation of her name was changed or became different considering we have a certain accent here. I don't know if it's true or not, but it's certainly interesting .

PETITION FOR BUZZFEED UNSOLVED MERCH TO EXIST. A hat with (Wheeze) is all i need

Honestly I was so fascinated by her chalk work, at 9:00 I was like DAMN that was a good circle

I feel bad for them in this episode, poor Shane talking about "being too in his head" and Ryan just looked sad when he was talking about what he felt when he was young idk it just made me sad

POV: Demon Shane is having a great time meeting some old friends and is sad he can't go back to hell yet. Still has to torment Ryan

Ryan: Voodoo is spooky Shane: v0oDo0 iZ sPo0kY

*Ryan gets slammed against the door with bruises* Shane- WOAH!! the wind is too strong today
