The Myths and Urban Legends of Red Dead Redemption 

Man I never returned to Beecher's Hope as Jack. The empty house of what was his family. It becomes the most depressing place in the game.

I feel like red dead is just one of those series where you can make your own interpretation on certain things as being canon or what happened

As someone who lives in rural Montana in the great plains region they absolutely nailed the mixed feeling of terrifying isolation and beautiful peace

Turns out there were one or two stones I have left unturned.

WE ARE SO BACK

I love how you refer to the first game simply as "Red Dead Redemption" instead of calling it Red Dead 1 like most people would. You Sir have class.

The Blackwater ghost is 100% legit. I walked into the Blackwater bank about 8 years ago on a playthrough before I knew it was a thing and there was a man on the bench outside reading a paper and I heard the line "I know you, you killed me" and I shat bricks and went back outside and he was gone. But because I am an idiot, I spent about 2 minutes walking around trying to see if the npc simply got up and walked off, so when I hit record it didn't capture him saying the line, just me walking back outside 😂

DUDE! Thank you for introducing this forgotten piece of Red Dead history. I use to eat up RDR1 mystery channels back then, this game can really creep you out and often has the player use their imagination

fizhy, you forgot the lumbago plague of 1907

I had a weird experience in Tumbleweed way back, shortly after the game came out. Hearing the online rumours about the town being haunted, I went there specifically looking for ghosts. I cleared out the bandits and hung around the mansion until nightfall, but nothing was happening. Getting bored, I started shooting at the wrecked piano that sits in the middle of the main room. I don't know if that's what triggered it, but out of nowhere, small animals started spawning in the room and running away, out of the door and down the steps of the mansion, one at a time... Raccoons, armadillos, badgers etc. I don't know if it was a glitch, or what... It seemed too random to be an Easter egg.

It’s always good to look at the Red Dead series. They’re amazing games, keep up the great work man and take care!

I remember being 6 years old in 2011 and believing every one of these myths were true and spent countless hours trying to track these legends down. This video brough back some amazing childhood memories. Thank you Fizhy!

Red Dead Redemption has that lonely and almost creepy feeling that i love

To be fair it is fairly common to run into invisible NPCs in the basement of the tumbleweed manor but it is a common code glitch

I didn't even know it was a "urban legend" that the Serendipity was haunted; I just thought it was actually an acknowledged part of the game. I was an OG RDR1 player, and any time I've been there I have heard the footsteps, coughs, whispers, and weird music stop-and-go's (don't know if I ever went at night or noticed lights at night though).

Hey fizhy I was the guy the other day who asked if they could redraw your profile picture I recently did it and I tagged you on Twitter just wanted to let you know great videos as usual

I'm sort of nostalgic for the Manimals glitch, which was something I loved watching videos on back then

"I worked hard on building that house, I ain't leaving it." -John's ghost, probably

So you guys remember the part when Arthur returns back to the camp in the swamp during his illness?. After you talk to Dutch and stand there for a minute he will say “what are you waiting for? , I thought you were concerned about saving lives Arthur??” You can hear the sarcasm in his voice Dutch never cared about the gang.

Me and my friends spent soooooo much time in Tall Trees and Tumbleweed! I also found Nos Salida was extremely creepy...

I was actually feeling the same way today. Very lonely playing RDR online. I haven't played online since the release of this game in 2018. I no longer have any friends that play online. So I was 100% alone trying to figure out how online is now. I am the lowest rank bottom of the barrel with barely any money. It really sucks but I'm slowly starting to get the swing of things and get him back into the online atmosphere. As far as the story mode I've been playing it non-stop this whole year again. I'm still finding things that I haven't seen before. Fantastic video as always. I really enjoy your content on Red Dead redemption

Your content is among one of the most interesting I've ever stumbled upon. Thank you for these amazing videos and what you bring to light!

Just started my 10th play through of the story and I always catch myself going back and watching/listening to your content over the game. Thank you so much for taking the time to make EVERYTHING you’ve made on this game 🙏✌🏼

I was literally looking for a rdr1 video on your channel last night. Your timing is insane

Thanks for making these!! Interesting and makes see it in an other way!! U rock dude!!! Awsome as always keep up the great work !!

Love your vids and the effort you put into them, looking forward to seeing more of you and your new dog. Been watching for a few years now.

These Vids Are Great To Me Watch While Grinding Legend Of The East Challenges, Great Video Man!

Your red dead vids are always good fun

I hadn't heard of the Multiplayer Meteor myth before. Perhaps, much like the cut dialogue about the Lake Don Julio monster, or GTA's whole Bigfoot debacle, the "missing" third Meteor fragment in RDR2 is a subtle nod to the community myth. You can't find the third fragment because it only exists in a 2012 RU-vid hoax.

W mans back with rdr content - keep it up! I love these rdr and rdr2 vids

I love your RDR videos, they helped me discover and rediscover tons of the rich folklore and secrets within the games. I can’t wait for your RDR3 content , even if it takes another decade for the game to release.

Your Red Dead Redemption content is something I always look forward to

Fizhy I'd love to see you do a video on the 7th Generation Cult!! Go over the bounties, and sort of analyze them and talk about theories you have of them! Like your other gang videos you've done! Big fan btw! Keep up the great work!

I am excited for this one!

Really enjoyed, hadn't heard in quite a few of these

I’m easy, I see Fizhy I click and watch, I see Fizhy RDR2, I break my finger clicking so fast.

I’ve been looking forward to this

It’s been 10 years since I’ve played RDR1 but hearing the theory that “man in the hat” is Kain had me immediately rebuy the game and start playing it. Mind blowing from Rockstar.

i found ur channel recently because of these rdr2 videos and i love em

I’ll never forget seeing the photo of the Werewolf in Tall Trees back in the day. That and the Ratman of GTA IV

Great video btw I love mysteries!! So fun

Just to add a little bit of credence to the Tumbleweed church being haunted, even if the town is now abandoned, there wouldn’t be any evil spirits there. Even if the church was destroyed, it’s consecrated/holy ground. However, I can’t exactly explain the Undead Nightmare version of the town, though. Well, other than the curse brought on by the mask…

I absolutely love your videos 🤩🤩

Hell yeah! Can't wait to watch this video with my dinner.

Very nice video man.

3:44 And also Dutch, apparently. :p

Imagine your playing red dead redemption and your in the farmhouse and you just hear *lumbaggooo*

Correction: the Chupacabra is purely a Puertorrican cryptic. For some reason, stories of a similar blood sucking cryptids came out in Mexico and other parts of Latinamerica which were inspired by our incidents during the 90s and they took the name.

Man you could narrate anything and I’d watch. Currently watching why I’m on the mend from an umbilical hernia surgery. The pain sucks but the video is great. 🍻

THIS IS SOOOOO WHAT I NEEDDEDEED TONIGHT

Red Dead 1 always gave me the creeps. Outside of the towns it’s such a lonely still world, the background soundtrack didn’t help either!

Anybody else ever watch a video about RDR and it make you wanna saddle up if only just to ride around and enjoy the ambience?

I wonder if John Marston‘s dog is the same spirit of the dog that Franklin encounters during parachuting missions

i live for these mystery videos

Love you bro

The other day on Reddit I saw how a bunch of players would go to blue water marsh and particularly the area around the ghost woman, they’d all get a different black and white translucent creepy picture of a random person pop up on the left side of there screen almost like they were being haunted and I was curious if you talked ab this before or what your thoughts on it were? Another one is lights lit in abandoned places like the abandoned trade store next to the railroad in N Roanoke valley, is this just the game lighting areas up? Also very good video and makes me want to play red dead 1 again! :)))

wanted to share that it’s pronounced Don HULIO the J is an H sound :) amazing video & so happy to have you back on my new uploads page

Even though I know that your coming close to the end of your red dead videos, they are the main reason why I watch this channel this and the GTA videos but it's time we switch to gta lore vids because well GTA 6 is on the way and once GTA 6 comes out I can't wait to see all the lore videos about that

This brought back memories of this myths and legends series I used to watch I don’t remember what the RU-vid channel was called but it made me terrified of tumbleweed as a kid. Also, isn’t there a ghost that’s supposed to appear playing the piano in the manor house?

Poor Rufus 🐶 😭

Babe please wake up, its another Fizhy banger.

Iirc the footsteps in the tumbleweed mansion are real and are caused by an npc who doesn’t talk The reason why i think that is because i distinctly remember an npc glitching out in multiplayer and phased through the wall on the 2nd floor in said mansion and i remember him not making any vocal sounds

it's good to be back

I had a pretty creepy expirience in El Presidio. Its not much, but some really creepy, mysterious music started playing , music i hadnt heard before and havent heard since,and some the npcs started shooting at something. Im pretty sure i missed the event. I kbow it doesnt sound like much, but after playing these games for ao long, it was pretyy crazy

Yassss another RDR video 🖤

THE 🐐 IS BACK

BOYS THE LEGEND HIMSELF HAS POSTED A RED DEAD REDEMPTION VIDEO!

I can confirm that there is no treasure at the IRL Cumberland Falls, other than the beauty of nature itself and the moonbow. There is also no cave behind the falls to hide treasure in.

Feeling myself to this rn

I remember seeing the "proof" of the tumbleweed ghosts and believeing them. Me and my brother wanted to investigate the mansion but were to scared.😅

Hope you do one for RDR2!

I've seen occasional speculation about what an Undead Nightmare 2 would look like, and after watching this video I think I know why there isn't one. The world just doesn't feel as eerie in 2. Yes there are thoroughly spooky places, yes there are places where you feel like you're being watched and frankly you probably are. RDR 2 is perfectly capable making you feel like something's crawling up your spine. But even when you venture deep into the desert of the RDR 1 area of the map it just doesn't give that same feeling of being alone and vulnerable, like being able to see everything all around you somehow doesn't protect you from there always being something behind you, or hiding in every shadow. It could be the graphics. 2 looks amazing, still better than any other game I have, but the lower fidelity of older games that really pushed the boat out graphically can be framed with the right ambience to give you this... indescribably uncanny vibe that you recognise everything but not quite. RDR 2 would present a perfectly good horde of very visually impressive undead, and it would do a spectacular job of turning a haven of outward civility like Saint Denis into a bloodbath of decaying flesh and gnashing teeth. But RDR 1 presented what was mostly a sparse scattering of undead by zombie media standards, and made it feel like a creeping pestilence you could never escape no matteer how you tried. All you could do was stave off the inevitable. And actually... now that I've said that, I thinkk that's another reason there isn't an Undead Nightmare 2. Because RDR 2 *already* presents the player with themes of inescapable inevitability that can only be staved off so long. The collapse of the Van der Linde gang, the progression of Arthur's tuberculosis, Undead Nightmare 2 would have had to either depart dramatically from the feel of the original or retread ground the main game has already put the player through.

So what I find interesting is that RDR2 actually helps explain a few of these myths The werewolf just being a replaced human? Well the donkey lady example was so popular that it was added as an easter egg in RDR2. Who's to say something similar didn't/couldn't happen with a wolf? Extremely rare, but if enough players visit the area it could happen. The lake I believe was confirmed via data mining in RDR2 to originally have a legendary fish like other places. But this one, you'd see someone fishing for it first before they get pulled into the water! Not canon of course since it was never added, but still interesting. Armadillo in RDR2's epilogue I think actually confirms the town is cursed. The shopkeeper has a photo of the Mysterious Stranger and at the mysterious strangers cabin you can find a message on a map of Armadillo that goes along the lines of choosing between health or two generations. Looting the shop keep in RDR2, we find a letter from his daughter saying she's running off to be with a man whom her dad doesn't approve and also tells him that she's pregnant. I suppose we know who made that choice and what that choice was. Man got a whole town cursed.

Havent watched and still know it gonna be peak🙏

WE NEED A RDR3….

I didnt play the first game and wasnt see much about it on youtube. RDR 2 also has the same atmosphere and feelings but i wonder about places like that little church (stuff when we find during searching gold bars and nuggets) and warzone from civil war in 2nd game, if they were exist in first game ? If it was how they look like, maybe you can make a video about that.

also in red dead 2 online you can collect parts of a meteor but there is a 3rd piece that has yet to be found

I miss Red Dead Redemption so much. It's such an amazing game

Oh this is gonna be GOOD!

Bro i just seen yo post, its kinda funny cuz i thought this was an old vid at first

Fizhy the goat 🗣️

Fizhy making a video on the lore of the grass types in Red Dead 2

I love these rdr2 videos

20:41 what’s that background song that starts playing

i wonder if undead nightmare is canon to rdr1

When I was doing content on RDR 1 not long ago I come across a guy in armadillo while on the way back to the guy in the school house for the "lights camera action" stranger mission, I ran into a guy that said "arent you john marston and you killed 13 men" or something to that effect, lucky at the time i managed to record it and posted it on my channel, that was the 1st time I encountered that since RDR 1 come out in 2010

you can actually hear dogs barking at Beechers Hope before Rufus returns. scared me terribly when I first heard it but it was probably just an oversight

id like to see a video about the shipwreck, its always interested me

The first game def has a more eerie vibe to it. I do prefer the more variation of landscape and such in RDR2, but RDR has such a vibe and playing as the best character in my opinion. The loneliness is perfect for this game.

Fizhy lad, keep those stones left unturned, we can not allow the red dead franchise to fade away.

Man, Red Dead Redemption one still looks good after all these years

Have you ever played cyberpunk 2077? You could do a video on the FF:06:B5 mystery it still is supposedly unsolved and has interesting developments to say the least

Have you ever played the Mafia series it seems like a good series to check out

what was the song you used at the end of the video?

I'm curious what myths and legends will spread for GTA VI, and more crucially what unexpected happenings would actually be real

18:38 In my travels outside the Red dead 2 map I have come across many A strange Places. I have found a meteorite but it was up in the mountains There is a big old hole somewhere outside in mexico though soon maybe

I fucking love u Fizhy

I used to play red dead with my friends and we would go to tumbleweed and have ghost hunts and we took it so seriously😂

Just a testament to how realistic, immersive and believable Rockstars games were.

red dead redemption is so much more creepy just over all than rdr2. The stranger missions are all so incredibly strange and every person is weird. The complete desolation of the map and the creepy music that plays all the time. And then it seems the most civilized towns in the first game are the least civilized in rdr2
