I can't imagine what was behind those phonecalls. The amount of heartbreak the family had to face all over again is just tragic. May all of the victms rest in peace
This has happened before. Likely some debris was sitting on the phone buttons, and with people walking on top of said debris, it pushed the buttons, calling people. This was before cell phones had lock screens and people frequently saved common numbers they call as single digit auto-dial numbers. Basically, hold down one of the digits long enough, it will auto-call the person assigned to it. The phone probably wasn’t found because it was sandwiched between pieces of debris that just got loaded in a truck and dumped in a landfill. Once the battery ran out, the calls stopped. As I said, this has happened before and everyone always things it’s mysterious.
The phone was damaged in the crash and being an old phone with physical capacitive buttons, it started calling through his speedial numbers. You’d only need to press 1 and Call, or 2 and call, or 3 and Call, etc. The phone was in a train accident so it’s not hard to imagine the keys being dislodged and applying capacitance to other buttons. Explains why it’s calling and the microphone is busted.
Imagine just chilling in your house and your entire neighborhood pulls up to your house, accuses you of witchcraft, and kidnaps you. Genuinely terrifying.
@@CoolCartoons-e5b Yup, ape will follow even the most bat sh** of crazy stories with the face is pretty enough, the price is right, or the fist about to connect to their face to make them do it out of fear... either way ape never learns.
The Salem trials was urgot a mold that grows on crops and was found in the pots and such. It causes hallucinations there for them seeing stuff and accusing people of witch craft
The Metrolink crash was terrifying. I was one of the first responders since I lived within a block of the crash site. The nearby school had its soccer field converted into a field hospital and morgue for all the bodies of the victims. For almost 10 years you could still find pieces of the train's insulation along that stretch but now it's all disintegrated.
I still walk and ride my bike through there where Stoney Point is. It's almost like I suppressed this from my memory, but I was reminded of it when it came up. A very sad day, one that my dad narrowly avoided.

It’s 100% “spooky ghost stuff” bc they tracked the phone location, the only reason they were even able to finally find his body beneath the mangled wreckage, but only to never find his phone. That would mean “someone” found his phone, stayed there with his dead body, repeatedly dialing his loved ones-but oddly not 9-1-1-only to sneak away unnoticed, even tho he’s squarely in the center of all the carnage, with the phone in tow, but in window of them having found his location and then his body.

@@Leon-zu1wpThey are, at least in the developed world.

I have 2 theory regarding on the first one 1)some sicko on tik tok suggest that the cross mean he need to kill himself and sacrifice people to pleas god because god demand a soul Or possibly no 2 which is 2)he saw that cross and planning yo kill himself and other people so he can pleas god for what he did and i think he go to the train and ask his friend to start the train so that train can kill him and his other co-workers so
I'm a motorcyclist girl and there's a thing my boyfriend told me, that is to never get overconfident over your motorcycle skills, always pay attention to every thing near you and ride safely, cuz one simple mistake can cost you everything.
Thats correct.. 1 mistake thats all it takes. Just know that small mistakes are amplified at speed, the faster you go, the more perfect you have to be. I choose not to ride now after been taken out by another biker racing me. Lifes cheaper and easier without a bike.
Exactly this it’s the safety of social media that gives people the sence of safety when it really ain’t tankslapper is a dangerous thing my dad experienced it and has never gone that fast again
The motorcycle one is just what makes me as a rider myself so upset with some people who get on two wheels. When you no longer fear that bike, it’s time to give it up and get off of it. Not saying you need to be terrified of your bike or something but having a healthy fear of what it can do or what can happen is the most important thing I remind myself every day. A car will beat a bike every single day of the week. Period. Just sad that she became so complacent.
@@ScatterBrainedYouBetterFollow well I’m a female rider. I just know my limits and how quickly things can happen while on that bike. This woman was ignorant as hell and it cost her more than anything.
The Salem Witch executions were likely because of the same thing as the Kenyan Witch executions; the local "sheriffs" could seize the land of anyone convicted of being a Witch. It's why Giles Corey never entered a plea and was crushed to death instead of hung. He entered no plea, and his land could not be seized. It's disgusting how many people were tortured and killed because of greed, but it's not surprising either.
Witch hunts both past and present don't have an economic motive. That's putting an inappropriate scientific explanation on events that result from a "premodern" world view. Both past and present there are simply too many witch hunts that occur with no economic motive. Thus the most likely explanation is that what's happening is exactly what it look like.
@llallogen7380 That was one of the explanations as well. When I went on a historical tour in Salem, they did discuss this as a prevailing theory to the wider hysteria, however, if I recall correctly, the historian noted that there was no solid evidence of there being enough of that naturally occurring fungus to be as widespread as the hysteria was. (I would have to check again to be sure.) Both could easily play into each other-- one or two sick people used as a catalyst for opportunistic folks to claim witchcraft and seize land and possessions.
I live half an hour from where the train track incident happened, seeing such familiar places in your video was shocking. I didn’t know about Michael’s whole story, that is chilling and incredibly sad. Thank you for covering this story Nick, lots of love from Italy
I remember that tragic day of the metrolink train accident. And I definitely remember, in REAL-time, newscasters talking about how first-responders and everyone else were going to use the CALLS loved ones received to track down any survivors. News reporters were just as baffled as everyone else when they discovered those passengers were long dead. It really shook everyone up. However, the tragic loss of lives became the focal point of the story, so that abnormal event became a sidenote.
@@7eyesopenwide168 if a huge tragedy that killed multiple happened on the exact same day and year you were born would you not be a little weirded out or freaked out about it? It doesn’t matter if it had nothing to do with me, something like that happening on my birthday is just a little freaky to me.
Charles Peck’s phone was damaged in the crash and was calling through his speed dial numbers. Pretty spooky, but logically explained with old school phones with physical capacitive buttons. The soft rubber keypads had capacitive dots on the back that correspond to a number on the phone. When you press that button, it creates a connection to the number. If you dislodged that keypad (like in a crash), the dots could be making a connection without needing to be pressed physically. On Speed Dial you have up to 9 numbers assigned. Pressing number 1 and then Call will call your first Speed Dial number. Pressing 2 and then Call will call your second. Etc, etc. This explains how calls cycled through his family, who would have been in his speed dial contacts IMO.
Welp, that’s all folks. Let’s all pack up & leave. Random armchair cell phone expert nobody on RU-vid has finally cracked the case after all these years. A regular Columbo over here. If only they had your input back then.
EVERY FUCKING TIME with the Witch tirals, its always about land/property or just someone that the town disliked. All of it just goes to the government/leaders. Salem was no different.
I agree but also f taylor. She deserved it. The people stuck in traffic when her body should have been swept off the road like garbage did not deserve it.
Just last week my friend's grandmother got run over by a bike and died, the pilot is in the hospital, stable condition. I was wondering just that, must be horrible to know you killed someone.
Taylors story happens literally all the time. Im a motorcyclist and while i ride fast SOMETIMES on an open straight road, youll never see me treating the damn street like its a track. You WILL fall off your bike eventually. You just dont know when. I had someone run into the back of me once while i was going down the street because they were drunk and couldn’t see straight passed their windshield. Luckily i survived and walked it off despite crashing at 40mph because I wore all my gear and he didnt run over me.

For the phone calls the only thing that makes logical sense was there was another trapped passenger severely wounded that found the phone and was dialing contacts frantically to try and find help. They eventually gave up calling and died somewhere else among the wreckage
No, what actually makes sense is that the phone got crushed into a bunch of tiny pieces and something in the rubble was creating a connection on the computer chip inside the phone and dialing numbers from his recent call list.
The post-death phonecalls gave me chills, and I definitely don't scare easily. The idea of dying under the wreckage of a train... I'm just glad the bodies weren't left in there.
The motor cyclist in Tik Tok is a real cautionary tale. She got all the warnings in the world and people trying to give her advice, yet I can't help but feel bad for her all the same.
She likely had the “adrenaline junkie” mentality. Where one chases the high of the release of epinephrine by doing insanely dangerous things for the rush. Consequences be damned. There may have also been something else going on mentally that either made her have little to no impulse control or made her lose her sense of self-preservation. Or it could be a run-of-the-mill invincibility complex that teenagers and young adults have. We’ll never know. It’s sad either way.
Damn that story about josh and crashing his M5 really struck a cord with me. When I was 19 I bought a late 00s model Mercedes coupe that the previous owner had pimped out to be a speed demon. Not longer than a year after I got in a crash going like 75 mph flipping it multiple multiple times. 2 weeks in the Hospital and 5 months of being confined to my bed I was lucky enough to scrape by with my life suffering severe brain, spine and internal damage. 23 now and beyond grateful to walk let alone for my life. I tell all my siblings and any young person who will listen not to play with they life driving like a fool
Glad you’re ok but I’m all honestly would you listen to yourself at that age? Teens will always have that invincibility complex and that it won’t happen to them
In the Japanese one it felt surreal on how much was inspired by death note. The fact that they write about their husband (as a form of manifestation) and then thanking the god of death (shinigami)' that is the actual entity that kills (from Japanese culture to the manga). It feel so incredibly wrong but j don't even know what those woman had gone through to end up in a site like this
Well if a woman isn't getting what she wants or things start bothering her with lack of communication things will turn sour, then you get the cheating and stuff like that
The Taylor motorcycle death...of course their deaths were terribly tragic, but my heart genuinely goes out to the driver of the suv. Being a claims Adjuster, those left after a fatal accident suffer so much. No matter how many times you say it wasn't your fault, though sometimes never shake the guilt.
YES my exact thoughts. That driver is forever attached to something they didn’t ask for and will likely haunt them forever. Not their fault for irresponsible motorcyclists
Sad as it was for Taylor, she was clearly reckless and showed a young person's disconcern for others when it came to safety. Too many motorcyclists often think only their own lives are in great danger due to their thrill chasing and this is obviously not the case. I'm not even a dad, but her constant eye rolling from other people's concern for her had me shaking my head. We don't know if that recklessness is what lead directly to the fatal accident, but she kept company that fed that kind of energy, and they ultimately ended up in a situation where the lifestyle caught up to them.
I went to college for a degree in film history, wanting to work in film archiving. Your archived clips are something this old nerd appreciates and eagerly awaits in every one of your videos!! Thank you!❤️
The husband website was dark and horrible, yes, but it just goes to show that high divorce rates ≠ poor “family values” (which is a myth anyway). If you make divorce or abuse a taboo, it doesn’t make it go away - it just makes it harder for people to talk about.
Thinking of those woman suffering by the one's who are supposed to support them the most, brings a tear to my eye. Crazy that it's not culturally acceptable to divorce someone who makes you miserable.
We don't even know if their husbands are actually abusive. And Nick exaggerated immensely, like many Westerners do when it's about Japan or Asia in general; plenty of Japanese people are divorced. As a woman, I think it's concerning that Nick and many others just believe everything women say or even write on the internet without question. They could just be murderous and awful people or maybe they're not even married or actually women. It's an internet forum, how are people still this naive. Besides, wishing someone death is still not acceptable and you being this dramatic about it just proves some people shouldn't have access to the internet.
It's a site for women to post about wanting their husbands to die, of course the women are always gonna make themselves out to be the victims Plenty of husbands are trapped in toxic relationships too, but nobody cares because they're men
Wow, never thought that my country would be featured in a Nick Crowley presentation. But on the circumstances behind the witch killings are spot on. Another thing I could add on is the "notion of ridding of the unhelpul in society", whereby the old people cannot fend for themselves and have to be taken care of, using resources in terms of attention and time, which most of the people in society will frown upon, and will see it easier to rid of them than undetake the responsibilites.
Kenyan-American here! I seriously did not know anything about another Salem Witch trial event going on today until now. To make matters worse, my grandma is of the Kisii tribe, so I don't even wanna know how she felt when the news came out about her own villagers and townspeople killing people THE SAME AGE AS HER OR OLDER. It's very chilling overall.
Ive gotta say, i adore your use of old timey footage in conjunction with the narration. Wonderful work as always; please keep it up! You are one of the BEST disturbing internet content creators out there. We adore u xox
I'm from Italy, and I remember very clearly when the train incident happened. I was having dinner with my family while watching Rai 1 (the mainstream italian channel) and then the news came in. It was a truely chilling moment to witness, and It'll always remain stuck in my mind...
Ironically from what I've learned The crucifix back then before Jesus death and his association with it was a symbol of a death sentence, basically if your crucified your heading and carrying your own tomb which makes this all the more eerie
The motorcycle one killed me to see those TikToks of her just believing it wouldn't happen. My dad has told me this story many times about one of his close friends passing away in a motorcycle accident, and he was following the rules. Like he was turning left in an intersection and some guy coming out from the left didn't see him and he got hit and killed. Keep in mind, someone following the rules still got in an accident. And because he was on a motorcycle, his injuries were far more severe. So thinking about someone NOT taking precautions makes my blood boil because motorcycles are some of the most dangerous vehicles to ride on the open road, and any injury you would get from a car crash is going to be a lot more damaging on a motorcycle
I always cringe with these types of people who think just cause they have "experience" means nothing bad will ever happen. My dad had been driving motorcycles for 45 years and had his first and only accident in 2019. It was bad; broke every rib on his right side, a few on his left side and was left with a hernia (which he named Bob), cracked three vertebrae in his back, broke his wrist, and had road rash all over his entire body. The only reason he lived is because he's a bigger guy with a lot of "padding" shall we say and wore his full gear. He got the death wobble and couldn't recover, flipping over his handlebars and taking out a wooden signpost with his body. I got the camera footage and it was terrifying. He has no ego when it comes to his rides. Be safe or be dead. Motorcycles don't often give second chances.
Yeah friend passed a few years back from just starting his motorcycle and losing control I guess when he wanted to drive. Basically it just floored it straight into a wall and he slammed into it. Friend was close when it happened since they were going to go out for food. My friend driving his car and the other his motorcycle. Honestly fucked my friend up for months and was just out of no where. To this day once a month something just reminds me of it. Couldn't even look at him in the funeral since they had to basically stitch his head but from the little bit I saw, it didn't look like him at all and didn't want to remember him that way.
One of the most heartbreaking posts before tragedy that I know of was a Tweet from a girl in the cinema waiting for a showing of the Dark Knight rises remarking about having to sit through the ads and just excited to see the movie. 20 minutes later they were dead. They were shot dead by a mass shooter while sitting in the theatre and their last tweet is now just haunting.
My wife’s best friend’s husband last three Facebook posts are so sad to see. On April 6, 2015 he had uploaded pictures just labeled Family Easter Egg Hunt. Next was April 11, his daughters 3rd birthday party. Finally April 12 he has pictures of his Birthday/Fathers Day present in the form of June 12-14 Cubs tickets and a screen shot of a Chicago hotel reservation and he wrote “I may have been a good boy this past year.” From April 18, 2015 onwards it is all memorials and old pictures. He was involved in a car wreck on April 16, 2015 and died two days later.

Yep. I worked with a guy who got a honda cruiser bike and he drove it like a maniac out of the working parking lot every night. We all kept warning him that he's a new rider with little experience and to stop being an idiot. That weekend we all did our thing and we came back in to a big sign saying he had passed away (without the reason why). I jumped on a local news page and found out he messed up on a turn going way too fast, hit a curb, was thrown off the bike and went head first into a tree. They suspect he was going 110km/hr in a 40km/hr zone. Sad, but play with fire like that and it'll burn you eventually. He only had the bike and his license to drive it for 2 weeks.
The first one is so creepy but heart-breaking at him being aged 34. I had NO idea that it had happened in September this year. I hope Michael's resting well in Heaven.
No person on earth is going to Heaven until the second coming. Rn, he's just dead dead. Going to Heaven or below right after death is a common misconception amongst American Christians. Idek where that came from. The bible doesn't even say it. But it does say you go to the ground after you die. And if you're chosen, you're brought back during the second coming.

You are one of the greatest youtubers and storytellers out there. The structure in which you tell these disturbing stories combined with ur chilling voice, idk how but you manage to make me tear up a lot. I genuinely dont understand why or how ur vids do it, but they do, keep it up.
There's like... A thousand explanations for how or why that could have happened outside of ghosts... But that's not anymore comforting. I can't imagine his loved ones going through that, that must have been horrible.
Oddly for the uninitiated, a train and the noise it creates creeps up on you so gradually that you literally aren’t alerted to it. One job I had as a new hire was to watch for trains while my guys were working on the tracks. Even after being warned, I was responsible for a close call. ONCE. I’ve always been grateful that everyone escaped injury. I was well liked but was dragged for weeks, in a good natured way but with an unmistakable undercurrent of “ last chance ”.
Excpect a train a train in ether direction at any time. Something we are well aware of when operating on NARCOA excursions on live rail, but also on our club tracks. You never know when a train or other On Track Equipment may be operating.
The clip you used before the Chuck peck story was perfect. When you’re an engineer your passengers don’t just depend on you to get them where they need to go on time, but they also depend on you to get them there safely. The throttle isn’t the only thing in your hands, your passenger’s safety and lives are in them too. It’s really tragic knowing that a period of distraction caused so much pain, death, and long term grief. When driving a locomotive, or any vehicle for that matter, just put the phone down. The long term effects if something goes wrong just aren’t worth it.
So, I'm stupid and let curiosity get the best of me because I wanted to understand how any of it were even possible: I watched some of the Kisii witch stuff and it's BRUTAL. Most disturbing is the people being burned to death because theyre literally alive, moving around, and burning for a VERY long time, meanwhile being beaten with sticks and having more flaming items thrown on top of them. There's one guy in particular who I have no clue in regards to how he was still alive. He's sitting up in the fire, totally burning, but not trying to flee like the rest of the people. As the flames are engulfing him, he continues to sit there and doesn't show a single sign of the unimaginable pain he must have been in despite eventually being totally engulfed by the fire. There's a lot more but that's as far as I'm going with it. Honestly, I just didn't expect people to be able to live that long under those conditions. There was a ton of footage but I'm not willing to ever look at another bit of it.
Yea I'm good on seeing that, I saw a similar video on old shock/gore sites back in the day. Same thing as this basically, a bunch of people being beaten & burned alive for being witches. Awful to see, the world is incredibly cruel
Last Ride: Your sense of safety and responsibility can take a backseat when you try to be a show off and be reckless for internet attention. People will get hurt, get arrested, or even die because they want to be reckless for attention. Social attention will outweigh self-control, and it culminates in accidents like the fatal crashes that were presented in this video
19:30 I was just about to explain this; many tribes or ethnic groups still deeply believe in witchcraft, my mom vehemently does to the point she acted like I would immediately have witchcraft cast on me if i even looked at someone in my mom's country if I ever were to visit. Went on a whole erratic spiel, but then again, she has never been mentally stable. Anyways, my dad believes in it, witchcraft, but when he talks about it, it's to mock me and joke with me (as I love cats and even in Africa, at least in the part of West Africa my dad and mom are from, cats are associated with witches and witchcraft, which is fascinating as they also are in other cultures across the world, most notably as _familiars_ in Western fantasy/fiction, from novels to cartoons) you can tell he's more lighthearted about it, but he still tells witchcraft stories and what not. I think my dad even told me some Kenyan witchcraft stories, but I can't remember.
My heart dropped when the metrolink story popped up. I was in middle school when this happened and one of my school's administrators was aboard that crashed train and was unfortunately killed. Wasn't someone I or my friend group knew very well, but the entire school was shocked when we heard the news nonetheless. Although I don't really think about this story much considering it was so long ago and I didn't know this administrator outside of a handful of brief interactions, it frustrates me to this day how easily avoidable these kinds of accidents are. Thanks for bringing attention to these kinds of stories, Nick.
The same thing happened with a family friend their daughter died driving drunk in a car accident and her phone was locked up at the police station smashed up shit off. Her mother kept getting calls with static for the first couple days after her death and then she finally told her it’s okay you can leave this earth now. Then she never heard back from the phone again. The cops were stumped because the phone was destroyed and not operational.
Something similar happened to me 25 years ago. My uncle passed and a week later we got a call from his landline and there was just static (cellphones weren't really popular back then). My dad called our phone service provider who told him that my uncle's phone line had been disconnected 3 days prior and was no longer operational so we couldn't be receiving calls from that number, since it didn't exist. I always chalked it up to a technical issue since I don't believe in spirits/God/the afterlife. Generally there's a rational explanation for strange goings on even if we can't work it out.
Wow that witch section is wild! So someone can just want ur land then lie and say ur a witch so u and ur family get burned to death n ur land now belongs to that person. That is actually wild
It's highly unlikely the witch hunts are motivated by a desire for land. In Africa children are murdered, beaten and abandoned for being witches with shocking regularity. This happens in cities and children aren't normally landowners anyway. The witch hunts are exactly what they look like.
As a Kenyan-American with a grandma living in Kisii, it's almost most likely due to the high population of Christians in Kenya as a whole (~90%, could be wrong). Before the British Empire occupied the country, witchcraft wasn't a big deal as a good handful of Kenyans practiced their traditional religions, and yes, that included medical guidance from witch doctors and African alchemy.
The witch trial reminded me of a story from Brazil, where a woman was lynched around 2014 due to a rumor spread online that she would be a kidnapper. Pretty much the entire town gathered around to watch her get brutally beaten up. She was bipolar and had some altercation with a woman and her child, which quickly escalated into a rumor that she was a kidnapper who used kids in black magic rituals. 3 years later another rumor popped up using the images of her lynching that she would have burned a child with sodium hydroxide. Poor woman was having stories made up about her even after death. What's more disappointing is that people still do this on Twitter and TikTok daily, people never stopped making assumptions about situations that don't even involve them, it keeps happening to this day.
I knew EXACTLY how these women feel. My 10 year physically and mentally abusive relationship destroyed me and my sanity. I wanted him to die so bad and even attempted to take my own life
The editing and supercuts on your videos are next level chef's kiss. No one else on RU-vid has such a distinctive (and unsettling) look. I could watch the first few seconds of any of your videos, and know exactly what channel I'm watching. Bravo!
They definitely did not have exact coordinates. You can tell where it was based on the cell tower it sent from. However, these old Nokia era phones used capacitive buttons with a rubber keypad over the numbers. It’s not improbable that the crash dislodged the keypad and pressed the other buttons. It could easily call his speed dial numbers by pressing 1 then call, or 2 then call.
@@MarioGoatse And it did that 35 times to 5 different numbers, with none of the damaged inputs canceling each other out since I doubt more than one number can be assigned to one potential key, and it won't speed dial anything if half the keypad is being simultaneously registered as pressed. I'm all for logical speculation, but that seems just as far fetched as his ghost pressing it.
@@christianmccollough5005 It only needs 2 inputs. Speed dial has a number assigned to each button. So 1 and then Call button will call the first number. 2 and then Call button will call the second number. All the way up to 9. After the call button is pressed, any inputs do nothing, unless you hang up. Surely you’ve called someone and then accidentally pressed a button. It just beeps. Once that call drops out, or is hung up, then it can call again. It’s a train accident, so I don’t see how it’s unlikely that the capacitive keypad became dislodged and then started pressing other buttons. If that seems far fetched to you, then you’re not as logical as you think you are. You have two options. A physical deformation of a physical electrical device, or a ghost in the after life picks up their phone to call someone.
@@MarioGoatse The same way smartphones have a maximum number of touches they can respond to simultaneously so does an old Nokia have a limitation to how many button inputs it can address. Only 2 inputs are needed to make any given call using speed dial, but the odds of the keyboard of a phone in a crush accident only having 2 malfunctioning inputs out of 12+ buttons is low. If more buttons than can be addressed are pressed at once, it just does nothing. For the damage to be so specific that it can carry out 35 calls back to back doing what you claim seems unlikely.
@@christianmccollough5005 I’ve heard a story where someone butt dialed 2000+ text messages to the same person over the course of 2 hours due to a design flaw on older Nokia models. The non-supernatural theory is plausible.
Nick Crowley vids are already spooky but when a story starts and I hear the word “tik tok” and realise the story is recent, it scares the shit out of me lol
Glad to know I'm not the only one that felt the same way. That is just simply what happens to people who fk around. Eventually, they inevitably find out!
Same with Josh. Dumb rich kids playing stupid games and winning stupid prizes. Sometimes your purpose in life is to be the wrong example of what to do I guess.
this is the first time I've managed to see something from you so early, so I wanna say this. Your intros with splicing different clips is absolutely an amazing atmospheric touch. keep up the good work!
I'm not surprised about the call story. Something very similar happened with the grandfather of my ex. He surprisingly died in the hospital and the next few days that followed his grandmother (the wife) received several phone calls that she missed. The numbers were impossible, like 00000000, it was not anything she recognized. She finally managed to answer a call and it was just static on the other end. But she had a feeling that it was him and talked to him. She couldn't hear anything but static. She didn't receive a call after that anymore. When she showed us her phone log history,under the time of the calls she received , there were no names and no numbers just an empty space which I've never seen before and after that.
thank god it wasn't world spread. we wont have any women left in the world. not only that but we would still be assholes that worships one person that doesn't have the power of god on his side.
Love when Nick puts a new video out. There's no rolling the dice. No wondering if it's gonna be a good vid. They're just all good and I can appreciate that in a world of uncertainty. Ok that was a bit much, but Nick is all time.
Cocky, arrogant reckless people that intentionally put themselves or others at risk of death or harm- I have very little sympathy for anything tragic that happens to them.
@@morrisseygirlfriendi don’t think they’re mentioning the railway workers. they’re probably mentioning Last Ride. being cocky, not listening to warnings, causing harm to yourself or others, is incredibly selfish. i have no sympathy for Taylor..
I am Italian, and I have been hearing about the first chase for a while now… it’s often talked about on the News. And they often talk about the cross, too. they always talk about it as “some kind of sign from god”... I wasn’t expecting this chase to actually become an internet mystery.
Nick love your channel and all the research and dedication you put into these videos. Just wanted to say thank you and your doing an awesome job. These stories are so weird, eerie and somewhat mind blowing. Add to it your unique voice and just love it. Loads of love and thanks Leisa Western Australia xx
I think the most haunting things I've seen was on TikTok. There was this semi-popular account where a man was chronicaling his battle with covid, presumably unvaxxinated. He was hospitalized and soon stopped posting, as he died from it. But if you went back into his video catalogue to about a week or two before, you could see him at a wrestling match cheering-- but you could hear one person coughing loudly in the background very clearly. He could have gotten Covid from anywhere, really. But this was 2020 to 2021 iirc where the vaccine was just rolling out and not everyone had a chance to get it yet. He could have gotten it from a visit to the grocery store before or after the wrestling match. But it's just something that stuck with me. I don't remember the channel name but reddit might. It was a pretty popular thing that happened.
A note about the metrolink crash phone calls. One of the leading theories is his phone was damaged but still functioning somewhere in the wreck and had been essentially pocket dialing his family. Very sad to have that false hope 😕
im italian, and michael and his collegues were given the "green light" to start working even tho their bosses knew very well that a train would be coming. we really have an illness for work and money
You know, just like you mentioned in the video, the Salem witch trials were one of the darkest events in US history. That’s why it’s completely shocking to me that there are no good horror movies about it. It’s such a fertile source to work from.
You have the first two Warlock films, which only vaguely have anything to do with the witch trials, but still are related to them (and also being campy fun)
I dunno if it's just me, but all the discussion in high school about that event was enough for a lifetime, that's probably why people aren't very intruiged by it.
I had a friend who's wife had been putting antifreeze in his wine. He drank a big glass daily. I had known them both and would NEVER dream of her doing it. He kept getting sicker and sicker and didn't know why. One day he couldn't take it anymore and went to see a friend who was a doctor. The 1st thing that he did was a blood panel. He called his wife to tell her that he would be late, he was at the doctor's office. By the time he got home she was long gone. The panel spotted it.
I learned from a forensic files episode of something similar happening of a wife that unalived her husband using antifreeze. back in the day it used to have a sweet taste to it. after the investigators found out what happened I think the companies who made antifreeze changed their formulas so it would be unpalatable and noticeable. I am glad your friend lived. that must have been scary.
The other day I was heading to church and saw a whole group of them doing stunts on a busy highway filming each other and one of them almost fell off the bike.
From Italy here: thanks for sharing Michael story. An investigation is still going on, but everyone believe it would lead to nothing. More accidents will come probably. But I really hope the workers will be more protect. May he rest in peace
I need to just take a min and give credit where it’s due. You are amazing at these videos, how you put them together and how you’ve quite literally mastered the art of darkness. I love it! Lol thank you ❤
Last story is tragic I couldn’t help but think back to the times Iwas driving or riding passenger in my friends cars not making the best decisions, we all have.. I’m just fortunate enough to have been able to look back and reflect on my errors instead of dead. RIP to those kids they didn’t know no better
Crazy seeing Nick cover the last story, i went to school with a couple of the kids in that car, itwas sad. I lived nearly next door to that airplane strip where John Travolta also happens to live and use.
I find it impossible to feel any emotion about deceased riders or motorists that purposefully drove like they were on a racetrack while in traffic. They endangered themselves and everyone else on the road willingly. I feel horrible for the innocent motorists who inevitably end up driving over them after they cause an accident and fly off their motorcycles.
