at number 10 we have Garnet Montana USA if I ever go to Montana I'm gonna stick to eating steaks and walking around to the mountains I think I'd rather run into a full-grown Grizzly before I would end up in a town filled with ghosts well actually no if I run into a ghost the worst thing that would happen is maybe it would scare me so bad I would leave a hot dookie in my fresh jeans but a Grizzly would literally Scary Ghost Sightings turn me into hot dookie if you want to run into the ghost of an old miner this is probably the best place you can go visit Garner Montana was built up during the gold rush and men from all over the land with bigger dreams than brains would travel here to try and strike it rich finding some shiny rocks well we all know that eventually the Gold Rush dried up and granite Montana didn't have much to offer after that now it's abandoned unless you count for the various Spirits living at the residence I had said that at certain times of day you can hear a ghost play the piano which is probably the friendliest thing a spooky ghost can do oh a ghost is like oh people are coming I better play them a good tune so they know I'm not to be be trifled with and it's a hot spot for ghost lovers from all over the MOST MYSTERIOUS PHOTOS world an average of 16 000 people a year come to check this place out someone should take a recording of that ghost piano song So Ariana Grande can mix it up and make a cool Halloween tune over it at number nine we have Hashima Hashima is an island off the coast of Japan that used to be one of the most densely populated places on the planet in the mid to late 1900s it's thought that there were over 5 000 people living per square kilometer the island was a hot spot because of the major underwater Coal Mine nothing like living next to a coal mine to really strengthen your lungs it was a booming place until 1974 when the coal mine was gone after that people started to leave the island in troves now the entire place is deserted and there's just a shell of a city it's almost scary to look at like it resembles something out of an Apocalypse movie for years it was forbidden for people to visit the island but now you can do tours in select areas the ghost stories is go deep as well my favorite is of a little girl dressed all in white who stands on the beach no one knows what she's looking for but people think that her family abandoned her on the island because they couldn't afford to raise her now her ghost Waits on the shore for a family to come back that is sad dle the story of I've never meet between the years of 1945 and 1955 this place was a labor camp so if you were arrested back then they might send you up to this place to work in a mine now what was in this mine uranium and what is uranium radioactive and what do radioactive things do to human cells well they rip them apart and you die one of the most painful deaths imaginable it's thought that over four hundred thousand prisoners died at this Camp from the terrible conditions working in the mine would literally cut your life expectancy down two months and the land was previously WORLD URBAN LEGENDS thought to be cursed when it was originally found by nomadic tribes the herd of deer died from eating the grass there we now know that was uranium poisoning now it's said that the place is plagued by the thousands of souls who experienced horrible slow radiation sickness deaths the town is now shut down and you could go there if you want to die in a few months but I would probably stay away at number seven we have Bodhi California USA when we're talking about ghost towns you can bet we're going to cover a lot of places that used to be packed with shiny rocks especially in America if you were in the USA back in the 1800s and you weren't trying to dig up a bunch of rocks then what were you doing you're a huge nerd what did you spend your time trying to figure out a cure for smallpox get out of here you dork well Bodhi is a big time Gold Rush town it's estimated in the late 1800s Bode was the second largest town in all of California with ghost town on Earth around 7 000 people it really didn't take a lot to be a metropolis back then you just needed a well a good Saloon and then you were set the gold deposit was found by the patriarch of the Bodhi family he didn't get to enjoy his findings though because he died in a blizzard not long after his family built the town and then named it after him it said that his ghost still haunts the land probably because he's so salty he never got to get rich and fat off his findings you can visit this town it's known as one of the best preserved ghost towns in all of America because of the dry climate the buildings are in great shape and number six we have put land France this ghost town is the site of one of the many horrible acts carried out by the Nazis in 1944 everyone in the town was forced into buildings by 90 troops these buildings were then set on fire and anyone who tried to run for safety was shot out of the several hundred people who lived here only seven people survived how did they do this well they had to cover themselves in the dead bodies of their friends and family now the town has never been repaired it stands as a symbol to remember those who lost their lives in the brutal attacks by the Nazis and paranormal investigators have visited the site and they say it's plagued with tormented Spirits if you know anything about World War II history you know that this isn't even scratching the surface when it comes to the horrific crimes committed by the Nazis at number five we have pure mintan Russia this place used to be the most northern coal mine in the world and even though it's cold as hell there and only a thousand people live there it was still an area under constant development there was a hospital schools and a Recreation Center built for all the people who lived there throughout the 80s and early 90s it was thought this town would continue to grow and eventually become a winter hot spot but the mine eventually dried up in the late 90s and everyone had to pack up and take off the town was completely abandoned until the late 2000s when tourists started heading up there to bring a little more life to the area now there's 20 residents who live there only in the summertime to work at the town's only Hotel this place isn't really high in my lists of must visits I think I'm gonna hit up Turks and Caicos and get drunk on a beach before it freeze my toes off and a former coal mining town also if you do plan on visiting this winter wonderland the only hotel in town is said to be haunted strange noises can be heard at night and a tall black figure has been said to walk around the perimeter of the building at number four we have Pell Town Ohio USA what a wonderful name I heard they have an amazing cotton candy store and none of the schools have demons in them well hell town is a focal point of many conspiracy theories the land was bought by the government years ago and all the people living there were told to leave speculation has this happened because it was a chemical spill and the government didn't want to admit their massive screw-up now the town is left untouched but there are rumors that there is a giant mutated Beast created by the chemical spill that walks around the area not really haunted but a giant monster is in the same vein at number three we have Crypt yet Ukraine if you guys are part of the most amazing top 10 family then you probably know I put this place on a lot of lists but it's hard to pass it up Crypt is the closest city to the Chernobyl nuclear plant and it's no wonder why it's a ghost town turns out people don't like dying in a radiated death the disaster happened back on April 26 1986 and it wasn't long after that that everyone started running in the opposite direction now vegetation has taken over most of the town but there are a few residents who have returned but why is it haunted well there is the black crow of Chernobyl also called the black demon Wing creature and many other names it said that this thing was seen on the day of the explosion and some people believe that the demon himself caused the reactor to explode now the Beast stops the land waiting for I guess another Power Plant to be built I don't know what it wants at number two we have Port Arthur Tasmania there are a few places in history that you can call hell on on Earth but this is definitely one of them Port Arthur was once the site of a brutal English prison the worst criminals in Britain were exiled to this island and it wasn't anything like getting sent to Club Med I can promise you there wasn't a mojito in sight the British government would practice psychological experiments on the inmates and this was back in the 1800s so you can only imagine lobotomies and other horrific practices were performed there the living conditions were so horrible that inmates would kill each other so they could get the death penalty I mean you could cut out the middleman and just kill yourself but to each his own I guess now you can go on tours through the abandoned prison and I don't think I need to explain to you why this place is haunted and number one on our list is pobaglia Italy for our number one spot we've picked a place that has centuries of grotesque history to go along with it in the mid-12th century This Island was used as a place to dump people who were dying from the plague thousands of bodies were burned on this island and going to the the island was non-optional if it was suspected that you had the Black Death they sent you and you stayed there until you suffered to death from this horrible sickness after all this plagueness was done it was a pretty chill spot until 1922 when a mental institution was built on the island it said that the head doctor would perform terrible experiments on all the people he later went mad and killed himself the shell of the institution still stands and you can go visit it if you want also fun fact about the island it's said to be very haunted and there were so many people burned on the island that the soil is 50 human remains but that's probably just an urban legend who knows starting off at number 10 the Shanghai Tunnels in Portland Oregon Portland was one of the most dangerous ports in the United States during the early 19th century and it was the epicenter of shanghang a form of human trafficking it's crazy to think human trafficking still happens today and tunnels are still the way to do it according to the local lore swinders preyed upon unsuspected men in the local salons which were often outfitted with trap doors that deposited the victims directly into a network of underground tunnels these men were supposedly held captive to drugged and eventually transported to the Waterfront where they were sold to ships as unpaid laborers some worked for several years before finding their way back home the tunnels were said to be haunted by the aggrieved spirits of the captives who died in the dark recesses behind the city random facts the practice of kidnapping men to work on ships came to be known as Shang Hing a piece of ships that were sold to were often headed to East Asia number nine Eastern State Penitentiary Philadelphia Pennsylvania the castle-like Eastern State Penitentiary took solidary confinement to whole new levels when it was built in 1829 prisoners lived alone exercised alone and ate alone when inmates were left in a Cell a guard would cover his head with a hood so he wouldn't be seen the prison had to abandon itself to her confinement system due to overcrowding from 1913 until it was closed in 1970. all the forms of punishment did not get any less severe I mean chaining an inmate's tongue to his wrists that's just one example a true story the site's one of most haunted places in America's right now will welcome thousands of visitors every year both for its museums and annual Terror Behind the wall celebration which features six haunted attractions within the Prison Walls for Halloween I mean when you talk about attraction inside of a prison um no thanks well it was reported paranormal happenings have included dismembered laughter shadowy figures and pacing of footsteps I'm sorry I thought I was hearing footsteps behind me right now okay I'm pretty freaked up with this one so let's move on to the next one so next up number eight we have House of the Seven Gables Salem Massachusetts now this house did not steal its name from the classic novel in fact it inspired the novel itself Salem is known for its history of the famous Witch Trials and that's where Sabrina Spellman lived but it happens to be the birthplace of Nathaniel Hawthorne who used this 17th century house as inspiration for his famous 1851 novel The House of the Seven Gables aside from its beautiful yet spooky facade the house is surrounded by paranormal activity and ghost sightings all based on personal experiences of Staff every October the house offers spooky tours as well as weekly performances of two plays the legacy of the hanging judge and spirit of the gables would you guys see a play in a haunted Town's haunted house coming in hot at number seven on this list the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park if you've read or seen The Shining you know the feeling of this often snowbound Hotel it's the location Stephen King based his overlooked Hotel upon it may not look like the film unless you watch the 1990s made for TV movie version which uh yeah I don't think anyone has I mean just walking to your room it can drain you so one stiff drink might have you seeing ghosts or a couple kids chanting Red Rom Redrum number six we're bringing you Red Onion Saloon Skagway Alaska established in 1898 as a brothel for miners during the Klondike Gold Rush Alaska's Red Onion Saloon it had a feature that set it apart from other bordellos it used dolls to help run its business so always a good sign right well every day 10 dolls will be placed on the bar downstairs each one representing one of the ladies working in the upstairs room a customer would choose one of the Dolls at which point it would lay down on the bar to indicate that particular workers were occupied when the customers came back downstairs the doll would be returned to her sitting position to let other potential clients know that she was available we'll fast forward to 2019 when the Red Onion Saloon still operates as a bar and restaurant yet the dolls are still on display and it offers tours of the upstairs rooms which are preserved as sort of like a mixed-shaped brothel Museum as if these dolls weren't creepy enough there were reports of Lydia a former Madame of a brothel haunting the site complete with cold spots and lingering spells of perfume rafting through the walls I mean all creepiness aside I'm more curious about how this place got named Red Onion I mean they could have came up with any other name well let me know what you guys would call this in the comment section below give me a name over halfway on this list number five we got RMS Queen Mary in Long Beach California this retired ocean liner sailed to the Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to 1967. during the first three years at Sea the Queen Mary carried Hollywood celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor her days as a luxurious ship were short-lived in 1939 she was stripped of her amenities and began her second life as a gray ghost a World War II troop ship at the conclusion of the War she was restored to her former glory and traversed the Atlantic for nearly two more decades on Halloween 1967 the Queen Mary departed on her last Cruise eventually docking in Long Beach California her final resting place the ship is reportedly haunted by the spirits of those who died aboard such as the young sailor who has crushed to death by a door in the engine room and a crew member who was in cabin b-340 number four Lizzie Borden bed and breakfast in Fall of river so this location came up on nearly every surge on our quest to find this top 10 list for you guys well you've likely heard of the children's rhyme Lizzie Borden Took an Ax gave it to her mother 40 whacks when she saw what she had done she gave her father 41. well you can not only visit the scene of that famous 1892 double homicide you can also sleep at the Borden's home eat their last meal old Johnny cakes a thick cornmeal pancakes and eggs in case you're wondering and spend the last nights in the bedroom where the bodies of Lizzie's stepmother Abigail was found someone who stayed there said I can attest this home painstakingly furnished to look exactly as it did on the morning of them well that will creep you right out better though the 175 year old property hosts up to 20 overnight guests in which some of them for some reason it's a tradition when he goes to this place they will actually whip out a Ouija board I mean I'm not down for Ouija that is a real life situation that can happen and let alone whipping out a Ouija board in a haunted place finally down to number three on this list we have Crescent Hotel Erica Springs Arkansas since its construction to 1886 the Crescent Hotel has served several purposes Luxury Resorts Conservatory for young women junior college but the strangest mark on its history came in 1937 when he got a new owner Norman G Baker Baker was a millionaire inventor who decided to pose as a doctor despite having no medical training and turned the hotel into a hospital that can cure cancer well he was eventually found out and he was ran out of town although Reports say that his spirits found its way back to the site and found some other wordedly company too the now operating Crescent Hotel is said to be haunted by at least eight ghosts ranging from a five-year-old girl to a bearded man wearing a Victorian clothing one ghost is enough for me never mind eight of them and children ghosts I think those are the absolute scariest kind and number one we have trans Allegany Lunatic Asylum Western Virginia this foreboding Asylum began contraction in 1858 and opened to patients in 1864. the massive structure was designed by architect Richard Andrews to maximize sunlight and fresh air it was believed that the building itself would serve as a healing environment it was designed for 250 people housed at 2400 patients in crowded conditions I mean that's a pretty big range going from 250 to 2400. patients were physically restrained and often given inhumane treatments such as the electroshock therapy and lobotomies which was very popular back in the day after more than a century in operation the facility was forced to close in 94 which when you think about it wasn't too long ago within the last 30 years and it was due to the reforms and mental health and treatment and the deterioration of the building hundreds of patients died during the Asylum tenure and scores of guests and Ghost Hunters have claimed they're seeing shadowy figures roaming around the facility at number nine we have the Fairmont Hotel in Banff Canada if you have never been to Banff it is one of the most beautiful places in the whole world there's amazing skiing in the winter and in the summer it turns into a lush green Wonderland if you were a ghost this would be a paradise to hunt the Fairmont sits on top of a mountain that looks so Regal it could double as The Grand Budapest Hotel it was built in 1888 and it was the center point to increase tourism in the area and it worked but like any old building this place has adopted some guests that refused to check out there are two ghosts that are responsible for the majority of the ghost sightings one being that of an old bellhop he was the employee of the hotel back in the 70s and after he kicked the bucket he decided that retirement wasn't for him his ghost has been seen throughout the hotel helping people to this day very few people get to do what they love why let a little thing like death stop you from sticking to your passion another ghost is that of the Bride dressed all in white The Story Goes that she tripped down a staircase on the day of her wedding and met a grim ending that is a huge bummer you're about to make it to the Altar and you lose your footing oh that sucks I number eight we have the chenoi church in Beijing China an old mysterious building that sits in Beijing China there are several elements to this building that make it an intriguing place for anyone interested in the Supernatural first no one knows who built the building or who commissioned the building to be built almost as if an outside force created the building like the devil came to town and was like yeah let's build a church also on the front door of the building there is a note that makes it very clear that there are no ghosts inside which is super sus like where I live there's no note about ghosts because it's just a given we know there's no ghosts this place uses the used car salesman approach to convincing people yeah that rickety noise in the back oh that's just something the car makes it's an added feature the residence is haunted by the ghost of a young woman who killed herself by hang during the Communist War in China some say she did this because her husband was killed at War and others say she was trying to avoid capture and number six we have La Chateau de brisak France we are heading all over the world with this list and now we're heading to a place that has a long Rich history France it makes sense to waltz right into a castle besides being one of the most glorious buildings in all of France an exciting reason to visit this place is the spectral tourist attraction back during the reign of King Charles VII he was married to a beautiful woman who he unfortunately found out was cheating on him he wasn't too happy with this so he divorced her and that was that I'm just kidding it was the 1400s he also had her killed for insulting his honor that's how they did things back then when her life ended she was wearing a green dress now it said you can see the ghost of a woman in a green dress Walking The Halls moaning for her lost love at number five we have Morgan house Callum pong India the estate formerly owned by the Morgans has a rather dark pass the house was lived in by Baron George Morgan and his wife back in the 1930s apparently Mr Morgan would spend a lot of his free time torturing his wife with them being in India and his wife having nowhere to go she eventually fell into a depression not long after that she died the two never had any kids and after Mr Morgan died the Indian government took control of the property it has now been spruced up into a nice hotel but the tares of this building's past haven't been washed away Mrs Morgan is free from her husband and has no interest in leaving her home many patrons of the hotel say they have heard her high heels walking along the wooden floors at number four we have Castle Loma Toronto Canada the most famously haunted place in all of Toronto it's literally a massive castle that is a 10 minute drive from the world famous CN Tower it's strange having a massive Stone castle built in the early 20th century so close to the downtown core but that's probably why it's so haunted all the ghosts want to gather there because it feels like home one of the most haunted areas of the castle are the secret underground tunnels which connect different sections of the property there have been reports of a ghostly minor who might have died digging the tunnels and a lady in a white dress also the Castle's former owner Lady Mary pellet has been seen all throughout the building some people say they've tried to take a picture of her when she's walking through and she will use her ghostly powers to turn off your camera sounds like she's not very photogenic if you want to give yourself an extra fright you should come check out the castle in October when they turn the whole thing into a massive haunted house I've been it's a great time at number three we have the hill of crosses in Lithuania the look of this place will make you say oh yeah there are for sure some ghosts in here this hill has been the site of rebellion respect and remembering the dead for the past 500 years people Most Toxic Ghost Towns have come here to place crosses as a way to pay Good Fortune to those who died fighting for the freedom of Lithuania this practice has made it a safe haven for spirits to walk through and there have been reports of seances performed there trying to contact these dead heroes there are currently over a hundred thousand crosses piled up on this hill back in the Soviet Reign they tried to destroy this holy Landmark three times three that's three three times but the Lithuanian people stood strong and came back to rebuild it every time that's a pretty awesome story of solidarity I know why ghosts want to hang out here they're like I know my home will be safe Forever at number two we have Cemetery number one in New Orleans USA this place has been nicknamed The Haunted City because it is literally filled with so many graves that you could fill a small theater there are over 700 Graves at this site you pack that many people into to one spot and you are guaranteed some strange Spirits walking around on Halloween it must be like a massive party in there it would be a giant ghost Rave with the coolest people from the last 200 years the grave that gets the most attention is that a former voodoo priestess Marie Laveau it said she had the power to influence spirits and now even in death her ghost can gain strength from the graveyard and get the Phantoms to do her bidding I mean that's a good skill to have after you're dead you're like oh you guys you work for me that's how this is gonna work and for the number one spot we have the Rose Hall in Montego Bay Jamaica a beautiful mansion that used to be the home of the Palmers back in the 19th century the two were a loving couple or that's what the public thought Mr Palmer died one day of suspicious causes but Foul Play was inconclusive Annie Palmer took control of the property and people weren't too suspicious until her two following husbands and her parents died all without warning now things are getting a little suspicious the urban legend of Annie Palmer is that she was a witch and she would use dark magic to kill her victims it's said that her evil spirit still inhabits The Rose Hall a witchgo sounds pretty serious especially one that has killed people that's not something you want to disturb for your own entertainment right well you totally can you can take tours of the building which highlight all the Legends surrounding the Witch of the Rose Hall and if you really want to bring some bad mojo into your life you can take part in a seance to communicate with the spirit of Annie Palmer I think the ghost of a murderous witch isn't something I would want to hang out with starting soft number 10 a Wichita Falls Texas and surprisingly there are a lot of haunted towns in the state of Texas there are a lot on this list and I feel like they probably make the record for most haunted towns in America but either way Wichita Falls is filled and I mean filled with haunting stories there's a site in town called The Witch's gate that used to be a mansion before it burned down in the 70s after the man of the house died his wife went a bit insane turning to things like witchcraft to try and cope she somehow burned the Mansion down killing her two sons withered another story claims the sons were robbed and it was the thief that set the house on fire the boys haunt the area till this day and I'm not surprised I'd be pissed too another famous one is the white sanitarium presently a private residence it used to be a mental hospital in the 20s after the place closed down people have seen a group of men sitting around a table playing cards perhaps the hospital's dead old staff I don't know but more famously they've seen a woman in nurses clothes roaming the building there's also Pinky's cave which is a three mile drainage ditch and kids used to hang out there years ago but now it's filled with Eerie sounds and homeless people as well as the ghost of a woman and her child who drowned inside the tunnel during a storm coming in at number nine is pluckley Kent pluckley is a small village in Kent that was named the most haunted village in England by Guinness World Records in 1989. so I don't want to over hype it but at the same time it clearly deserves the hype it's said that 12 to 16 ghosts taunt the village and the surrounding areas the list includes a screaming man who worked at the village brickworks and fell to his death another is a Highwayman who was pinned to a tree with a sword that tree was soon named fright corner and that's where his ghost looms every day the Watercress woman is the ghost of a woman who used to sit on a bridge drinking gin and smoking her pipe while selling Watercress you'd assume she drowned in the river she sat near but the reality was a lot more Grim it said she dropped Jen all over herself and accidentally set herself a light on the bridge there's also the ghost of a principal who hung himself and was found by his students on LV Farm which dates back to 1406 that's the ghost of Edward Brett who shot himself in the dairy his last words to his wife were I will do it and that's what can be heard whispered around the farm then of course if we're more generic there's the white lady and the red lady because make no mistake there is always a white lady ghost in every list that's seven ghosts already in that's not even the end of it based on the deaths in the list I get the feeling there's like an external force in the village that made people slightly suicidal that's the vibe I'm getting I don't already know at number eight we have Savannah Georgia apparently it's widespread knowledge that Savannah is the most haunted city in America and thankfully I've never been the town was given this title because literally every building in the town is haunted like everyone every building has a story every building has its own ghost it's like Savannah is more for the ghost than it is for the living the Hamilton Turner Inn is home to the ghost of a man smoking a cigar on its roof as well as little children whose children are they God knows dubbed one of the best haunted hotels in the U.S because clearly that's a real category the Marshall house was a hotel that ended up being used as a hospital Thrice in its history and thus you can imagine all the dead patients as ghosts running around 1790 in and a restaurant is the home of a scorned woman called Anna who haunts the upstairs guest rooms waiting for her loss to love but why is Savannah so haunted let's go back in history the town has been the site of many and many atrocities the siege of Savannah that killed 240 people left people thinking unsettled soldiers still lingered there Savannah's also been the site of a yellow fever epidemic so that's a lot of people dead just there in 1820 there was a massive fire in town that destroyed 500 buildings and there was an even bigger fire 25 years prior that destroyed half that number the people that died in those fires have been linked to the house as they occupied and let's not forget the countless murders that have taken place there as well filling our number seven slot is Jerome Arizona mining town Jerome is known as the wickedest town the West for its brothels gambling and heavy drinking miners the town itself actually burned down three times in three years at the end of the 1800s at its peak population was fifteen thousand it then shrank to 50 people in the 50s and currently it's 450 people inside the town the Jerome Grand Hotel adds to the hauntings tenfold before it was a hotel it was the United birthday hospital where dozens of people died during the Great Spanish influenza coughs breathing the lights flicking doors opening a little child running on the third floor either laughing or crying it has it all sometimes the Little Ghost just stays at the foot of a guest's bed and stares at them all night the sounds of newborn babies crying and many guests have even spoken to the front desk about it out of concern but then they find out it's coming from an empty room a maintenance man named Claude Harvey was found under the elevator murdered in the 30s and his ghost wanders around the hotel as well there's even a ghost cat at this hotel can you imagine I could go on but I think you get the picture I've been coming for tourism or to chase Ghosts no one really visits Jerome anymore sadly now at number six is Helltown Ohio founded in 1806 and formerly called Boston this place used to be the oldest village in Summit County helthan was the victim of Disappearing Forest land when President Ford let the national park jurisdiction expropriate land to make Parks The NPS started buying properties of locals in Helltown and they were pissed they even wrote now we know how the Indians felt all over their houses which I feel is a bit inappropriate but either way that was all for nothing the plan fell through in the end and the village was abandoned things went wrong in 1985 when Rangers visited kregc dump nearby and left covered in rashes and sick apparently the dump was highly toxic because chemicals were never disposed off properly that's also the um the issue of the um Satanist Church equipped with upside down crosses and all human and animal sacrifices even took place there and that's not all there was even an escaped mental patient in the woods in the town that killed a Bus full of children and that bus is still there haunted by the ghost murder had passed there's even a mutated snake in the town known as the peninsula python so it's safe to say the town lives up to its name and has way too much going on coming in at number five is Granbury Texas this one's a bit of a small one in 2010 their population wasn't even 8 000 so I mean it's an intimate little town but regardless of that it's been the home for many Infamous people over the years Davey Crockett's wife Elizabeth moved their post to Texas Revolution and Jesse James is even buried in the city of Granbury Cemetery Billy the Kid apparently moved there too after faking his own death but the biggest haunted appeal of Granbury is John Cena Helen he moved there in the 1870s to teach and would quote Shakespeare all the time but people think John Saint Helen was actually John Wilkes Booth the man who assassinated Abraham Lincoln apparently he died in a bar fire and police through Booth's body into the Potomac River others say he was assigned a new identity after the assassination I mean in town he walked with a strange limp and had a Southern accent so people were wary of him on his deathbed he did confess to a priest that he was in fog John Wilkes Booth and told him where he could find the gun that killed Abe but he didn't die that day he fled the city but it said that when he did finally die wherever that was he came back to Granbury the Grand Prix opera house is haunted by him now and you can hear him quoting Shakespeare all the time some things never change at number four is Galveston Texas this island City's residents are so used to seeing ghosts around that honestly they don't even bat an eyelid anymore during the early 1900s the city opened the Galvez hotel to honor military leader Bernardo de Galvez and they commissioned a giant portrait of him to go in its Lobby soon after the Galvis hotel opened its doors guests tired complaining this painting would make them feel extremely cold and that his eyes would just follow them everywhere the hotel is also haunted by a ghost bride who's been seen many times in room 501 it said she hung herself after finding out her fiance died at sea but to make matters worse he didn't even die he came to the hotel looking for her and for the marriage that would never be there was also a storm in 1900 which is still considered the deadliest storm in U.S history that kills 8 000 residents Mayfield's Manor served as a morgue after the storm and it's now haunted all year round 24 7 Around the Clock Dash Beardsley does ghost tours of the city and he said he's seen them with his own eyes among his many stories is one of an office and town that calls 9-1-1 every night the police have gone their countless times to find the office empty and no telephone even connected another story is the ghost of a Salesman who died inside Madame Harvey's brothel in the 1800s a police chief moved his body to a park and made it look like he was you know feeding pigeons and put him on a bench so it would be less embarrassing for his family and the man's ghost is still looking for his car keys filling a number three slaw is Jefferson Texas that's three towns in Texas in a row now I really wasn't lying when I said Texas Takes the Cake on this list it's been dubbed One of the most haunted towns in the South by many travel channels and I know it sounds like I'm saying this is one of the most haunted towns ever for every single number but it's true either way the town is plagued by the apparitions haunting the Jefferson Hotel and the Excelsior House let's start with the hotel there's a staircase inside which is known to be haunted by Little Ghost but likes putting hair and tapping guests shoulders guests have been locked inside their hotel rooms and bathrooms for ages before being let out whilst hearing a creepy laughter from the other side of the door orbs also appear in photos taken inside the hotel and all this isn't even scaring me it's just making me feel annoyed for the guests who have to stay there not my problem I mean not my problem anyway the Excelsior House is another hotel that's basically just as haunted it houses a headless ghost on the second floor so you know might want to avoid that and it even houses a woman in black carrying a baby the ghost apparent even spoke to Steven Spielberg in their 80s and so she got closer to my dreams of becoming an actor than I have and she's dead great now nm2 is Kerrville Texas this town is specifically known for two haunted buildings whose ghosts seem to go all around the town all the time the first is Kerr County Courthouse where two tragedies took place the first was to do with a couple the man asked his beloved to marry him and she said said no so naturally in a fit of jealousy and a rage he killed her and then hung himself right in front of the courthouse talk about unable to deal with rejection Mana boy both have been seen over a hundred times at the courthouse in the surrounding area just Milling about honestly I'd be so mad if I was the girl honestly like I said I didn't want to marry you and now I'm stuck in this afterlife Purgatory with you just just my luck anyway the Second Story involves a prisoner who was killed during a rough interrogation and he too haunts the inside of the building by banging on the bars and throwing papers about now the second building is Delaney Hall in Shriner University from its name you can probably guess that it's a dorm building at the University and it's haunted by eight former students while living students still reside there the students see door slamming when the ghosts have fights with one another and construction workers constantly complain about how their tools go missing because of the ghosts and finally at number one is Saratoga Texas the light of Saratoga is the legend of mysterious lights appearing and disappearing on Bragg Road that all residents know the road runs between Beaumont and Livingston and is next to the ghost town of Bragg station a haunted road and a ghost town what a match made in heaven strange lights on roads have been featured in many other videos this phenomenon is nothing new some think it's simply swamp gas but the most popular story behind it is that a railroad worker was decapitated during a railway accident and the light comes from the lantern his ghost carries as he looks for his head honestly if he survived this long without his head I don't really think he needs it the second explanation for the light is a ghostly couple it said the newlyweds were on their way home on the road when they were stopped by an innocent looking man on the side of the road however the man was not innocent at all he had a gun and a knife and took the man's wife hostage into Big Thicket forest and killed her there and then disappeared the man was ordered to wait in the car till they disappear appeared otherwise he'd shoot her he waited and then ran into the forest trying to follow their sounds but he was too late so it said the lights on the road are him trying to find his bride's murderer Love Never Dies you guys your fiance may be murdered But Your Love Never Dies.
Top 10 REAL Evil People Who Summoned Demons
starting off in our number 10 spot we have Ed when Tammy was a kid her and her sister would often use Ouija boards and it always seemed that they would end up communicating with the same Spirit who was named ed apparently wasn't super nice because he would continually threaten their younger brother during this time and he was never with them during the times that they were using the board so it was definitely weird eventually they got creeped out enough that they got rid of the board and just put Ed behind them a few years later when their little brother got older he had used a Ouija board with his friend a couple of times and he came home to tell his older sisters a story that had him freaked out he explained that every time him and his friend used the board there kept being a spirit named ed who was threatening him apparently their mother ended up Banning the use of Ouija boards in their house which really is the right move in her number nine spot today we have the book okay so what if I told you that someone out there really thought it was a good idea to write a book that is for children but it tells them how to summon demons I mean mean listen for years there's been urban legends like Bloody Mary and Charlie Charlie which of course tell us instructions on how to summon those respective demons but urban legends are part of being a child it's spooky stories to share amongst friends but this book really takes things to an entirely new level many who are more well-versed in the worlds of Witchcraft and the Paranormal have explained that this book written by Aaron Layton is basically a grimoire it contains 72 different demons that can be conjured by those who read it for their own personal gain which is basically the definition of black magic the book not only includes these sort of cute drawings of creepy demons but it also includes the symbols for each demon which some have learned is also a very bad sign in our number nine spot today we have the room this story comes from an anonymous source but we'll call them Alex Alex and their fiance who will call Sam were given a Ouija board that their friend had apparently found on the side of the road which I feel like is the worst place to find a new Ouija board Alex and Sam decided to use it one night and begin to ask questions they asked who was with them and if they were an angel demon or Spirit it replied that their name was Mo and that they were a demon by your creation Alex and Sam were obviously freaked out and just asked a few more simple questions like what is your favorite poster of ours on the wall Mo replied with bloody mess Alex and Sam had a kiss photo with Gene Simmons on it that had blood everywhere on it Alex pointed to that poster and asked this one Mo said yes Alex and Sam had a few skeleton heads that sat on their TV so they asked Mo to move the skeleton head so that they could have proof Mo was real Mo said to close their eyes so they did a few seconds later all of the skulls on the TV had moved to be facing them only Sam and Alex were in the room at the time and they had been sitting right next to each other which would have made it impossible for one of them to be pranking the other in our number 7 spot today we have Nicolo Paganini Nicola was a professional violin Ernest was born in 1782 his parents began to send him to lessons when he was just five years old and by age 15 he was already touring the world because he was so talented what's interesting about Nicolo and his story other than his obvious musical genius however is the rumors surrounding his talent and subsequent recognition According to some people believe that his own mother summoned the devil in order for her son to be the extreme talent that He is there are many modern diagnosis that could potentially explain some of what made Nicolo so talented and I mean we all know quite well that sometimes people are just born with extreme talent but of course in the early 1800s people in their imagination certainly ran wild the final reason why people believe he may have made a deal with the Devil is because shortly before his death he was quite sick the doctors had a feeling he was nearing death so they sent in a priest to pray over him when he first saw the priest it has said that he freaked out and sent the priest away many people believe that him pushing the priest away was only a confirmation of the fact that he was working with the devil in our number six spot today we have the lady ghost demon this story comes from the Reddit user's seven leg spider and they really just dive in basically for several years spider saw what they thought was just a lady ghost every night at the door of the closet it happened for so long that spider just got used to it and even started saying good night to her spider says she didn't look bad or rotten she was just a lady with pale skin and dark hair anyway after a few years of this spider finally tells a friend at school about the lady he of course didn't believe a story right away but the next day at school he tells spider that this lady tried to hurt him while he was sleeping now spider didn't believe the friend and thought he was just playing a prank so more time goes by and spider decides to tell another friend about the lady and the same thing happens where the next time she comes and tells spider that the lady had tried to hurt her while she was sleeping the first friend and the second friend didn't know each other so it's not like they could have been conspiring which made spider believe his first friend was telling the truth then a while after that spider is on a video chat with a friend and they are talking about the Paranormal when they both see something run across the screen they chalk it up to being a glitch and spider starts telling this friend about the lady and then spider begins to get extremely dizzy like they're about to pass out after it goes away spider tells their friend that they're okay and the front replies that they were out of it for at least a full minute and that he could feel that someone was there trying to hurt spider I'm in the end I'm just really glad that spider and all of the friends ended up being okay and I really hope they found a way to get rid of that demon lady in at number 5 spot today we have the meditation this story comes from someone online who starts off by explaining that they accidentally summoned a demon once and it was a huge mistake they say that it all started when they were meditating with some stones that a friend had given them they say that the stones were polished and given to them in a medicine bag when they went to meditate they were holding four in each hand just letting their mind wander when they felt something or someone slam into their back after this they heard demonic laughter and a bunch of banging upstairs when there shouldn't have been anyone up there they immediately blew out their candle and left the house when they returned to the house later they explained that this is when they started to see Shadow crawlers all over the walls the strange occurrences continued as they would hear the sound of children laughing in their home despite no children being there and things would suddenly disappear only to be found later in places that had already been checked they finished this story by saying that they ended up fleeing the house one night and burning it down never to look back I'm gonna be honest not sure about the whole burning the house down thing seems maybe a little illegal but I guess All is fair in the world of demonology in our number four spot today we have Zozo this story comes from the Reddit user archaic Alchemy who we'll call a when a was 22 they were staying with their sister and one night they had a couple good friends over to hang out and play around with a Ouija board which is always the start of a good Demon story a had read about people encountering an entity called Zozo and a really just wanted some proof that things exist beyond our Physical Realm so they really wanted to use the Ouija board everyone places their hand on the planchette and a calls out to Zozo it took a few attempts before anything happened but then the planchette began to move in figure eights no matter what was asked it just kept moving in this pattern until it finally spelled out m-a-m-a a kept asking who they were talking to and eventually they spelled out Zozo and then things really escalated the planchette was taken to the letters to spell out kill you and when a asked who they spelled out one of the friends names they didn't take it seriously and kept asking more questions and one friend made the mistake of insulting Zozo the planchette begins frantically moving through the alphabet backwards over and over before it stops then the energy in the room completely drops and a knows that this means that Zozo has manifested itself suddenly a begins to laugh maniacally with no control over it a could feel zozo's presence inside and could feel Zozo turning all of this hatred and anger towards the friend that had been named before his emotion suddenly completely switched and they began crying uncontrollably before again suddenly snapping back to anger A's head turns involuntarily to look at the friend with a menacing grin as a pushes the planchette towards this friend the friends decide it's rightfully time to leave and shortly after they left a felt like they regained control again and zozo's presence had disappeared I'm very glad that nothing even crazier happened and that Zozo wasn't able to end up harming this friend in the end in a number three spot today we have Giuseppe tartini okay so this story is one that is kind of similar to nicolo's but even more strange Giuseppe was an Italian Ancient Mysterious Creatures violinist and composer who lived during the 1700s he went on to compose a song called The Devil's Trill Sonata and not only um and not only this but he also claimed to wake up one night to find Satan sitting on the edge of his bed playing the violin seems as though the devil really likes violence apparently what's extremely curious is that after this alleged encounter it is said that Giuseppe's violin skills hit Heights never seen before he was able to suddenly play extremely complicated trills that are impossible for most musicians apparently even today the Sonata is too difficult for many musicians to play which is why people believe that perhaps this story really was true in our number two spot today we have the gray skin demon this story comes from pink magic 724 on Reddit and it is about a night that they had a few years ago while still in college pink Magic's best friend of many years was in town so they went out for a dinner to catch up and spend some time together they of course ended up getting a bit caught up as best friends do and before they know it it's around 2 A.M and definitely time for them to head home pink Magic's friend was the one who drove so they headed off to Pink Magic's house they're at an intersection waiting for the light to turn green when pink magic turns their head and looks out the window into the car next to them this is when she sees the person next to them is looking directly back at them but this person has gray skin completely black eyes with no white and they are smiling but their teeth are long and sharp whoever or whatever this thing is will not break eye contact pink magic tries to scream but no sound will come out I've had that Nightmare Before and eventually the friend sees this creature too and immediately speeds out of there to this day neither of them like to talk about it and neither of them are quite sure what exactly they witnessed in our number one spot today we have Johan George Faust according to the stories passed down about this man it is said that he was an alchemist and astrologer who lived in Germany during the 1500s it is said that in his plight to become the smartest man in the world while also enjoying as many Earth firstly Pleasures as possible he summoned the help of a demon named Mephistopheles I thought that that was just one of the cats from cats but apparently not anyways there are terrible stories about how cruel and truly evil this man was and as a professor it is said he looked down on everyone else because he thought he was smarter than them local priests apparently believed that he had actually made a deal with the devil and that his pet dog was actually a demon who was able to shape-shift what's most interesting about this is that during his life he did publish several grimoires and in 1540 while conducting some sort of alchemaic experiment his laboratory exploded starting off in our number 10 spot we have Theophilus of Adena okay so to start off this list today we are taking it a little bit back all the way to 538 A.D theophyllis of Adeno was a cleric in the Roman Catholic church so basically one day he was elected to become the new bishop but he ended up denying the offer as it is said that he wanted a more Priestly sort of position instead of one with all of that power and responsibility it is said that he wanted the position of irk Deacon which would have seen him controlling where the donation money went so apparently in passing on this bishop position he thought that if he gave this bishop position to his rival then his rival should at least be grateful enough to give him the position he wanted but of course that did not happen the new bishop gave away the seat that Theo wanted and instead gave him the position of being a humble cleric this made Theo super angry and this is when he thought that maybe the church isn't as holy as he once thought they were this is when he decided to summon the help of Satan he ended up signing a contract with Satan in his own own blood he denounced Jesus and the Virgin Mary and it is said that with the help of Satan he was once again voted into the bishop position and this time he accepted at this point in time it is said that he felt so guilty he confessed to this deal with the devil and the priest who he confessed to decided that they should burn the blood-signed contract for a second Theo looked up but then suddenly he collapsed and died many people believed that it was because he had broken his contract with Satan in our number nine spot today we have woken up this story comes from someone named Justin and one night Justin and some friends decided to try their hand at contacting the spirit world through a Ouija board they began to ask questions but instead of the planchette moving to certain letters it began to move to all four corners of the board making a sort of X before it just started to go in circles Justin and his friends decided to call it a night with the board but not too long after this day Justin decided to try again with a different friend the planchette began to move in strange patterns again but this time Justin said it felt like some sort of hex later that night as he was sleeping he all of a sudden out of nowhere felt some sort of forceful hand grab his arm which of course jolted him awake once awake he couldn't see anyone or anything around him and everyone in his house was peacefully asleep in our number eight spot today we have Aleister Crowley this man is quite well known for being the leader of an occult group and this really does step back even into his childhood it is said that quite early on Alistair started calling himself the Beast and the Antichrist and he is even quoted as saying that God and Satan fought over his soul in one of his books he wrote quote I was in the death struggle with self God and Satan fought for my soul those three long hours God conquered now I have only one doubt left which of the twain was God many people believe that perhaps he made a deal with Satan but it is possible that these are just Rumblings based on alistar's teachings and beliefs in our number seven spot today we have the basement this story comes from someone named Vince and it has to do with a Time time he played with a Ouija board he didn't really expect much to happen and was just sort of going along with it but during the time using the board the lights began to Flicker and the air around Vince and his friends got quite cold this is when they knew that something more serious was going on the demon began to communicate with them through the board and it told them its name which Vince says seems like a sort of Russian name when they asked how the dark Spirit got there they explained that they had been killed Vince explains that he and his friends took a break from the board but they didn't remember to close the circle before they left which if you're not familiar with Ouija boards is a huge mistake once they all returned back to the basement where they left the board they could feel the heavy energy in the room and they came to find that everything was in complete disarray books were thrown about things were sprawled on the floor but the only thing that hadn't been touched was the board which still sat perfectly still in the center of the room just how they had left it Victor ends his story by saying quote upon looking at a mirror that we had near nearby the eye of the Ouija board was moving sporadically in its reflection in our number six spot today we have the text okay so this story isn't like others on this list and it's one of the strangest I've ever heard so basically this person who was you know on a dating app receives a text message one day from one of the guys that they were talking to that says quote I've been thinking about summoning Satan to impress you okay personally I would run the other way but turns out these are texts some people are just waiting around to receive when they followed up the text the person said again quote no I'm not kidding unless I told you when I was drunk I legitimately sold my soul to him in January 2013. turns out this guy really meant it of course this person needed to know more and as it turns out they got the full story so basically this guy explained the entire procedure of selling your soul he said that it's simple you just have to write a letter sign it in your blood perform a sort of ritual and then some sort of physical Mark will show up on your body like a scratch and according to this guy your wishes just come true Apparently after this guy had done all of that he said that he laughed in a voice that wasn't his own and since then all of his desires have been coming true this story is weird but apparently it really is that easy definitely wouldn't recommend trying it though just in case you know in our number five spot today we have the entity this story starts off hot when the Storyteller explains that they have used a Ouija board and since doing so they clearly have opened their home up to some sort of evil entity who hasn't exactly been kind they say quote it started out with that feeling like you're being watched and doors are closing and you hear footsteps on the hardwood when you're home alone and it progressed slowly into being kept awake by something shaking the bed or pulling off your covers sometimes even Whispering Your Name the board would disappear for days on end then show up in places you never would have put it I became obsessed with it then it was a black mass in the corner of the room or the silhouette of a man watching you from the doorway after that it escalated pretty quickly I had my hair pulled fingers pricked scratched they go on to explain that sometimes while they're trying to sleep they find themselves unable to move and can feel the entity whispering in their ear and what they say is Latin they explained that they have since had their house blessed and are hoping that this keeps the demon at Bay in our number 4 spot today we have Jack Parsons Jack was a man who was born just a few years prior to the Wright brothers flying the first airplane and being born at a time like that had him growing up dreaming of and reading sci-fi novels about rocket ships taking people to space it is said that this love of rocket ships and these dreams of going to space are what led to him summoning the devil in order to make a deal Jack wanted to sell his soul in exchange for a rocket ship this deal didn't end up working but Jack continued to study science as he Grew Older later Creepiest Urban Legends in his life he stumbled upon the teachings of Aleister Crowley that we talked about before and this is when he tried his hand at summoning things again this time he tried to Summit a goddess named Babylon that was said to possibly help men get to the moon one day technically in some ways it worked because Jack Parsons ended up helping create the jet fuel that is said to still be used today maybe it was the deal with the devil Maybe it was the goddess or maybe it was just good old passion and drive that did it I guess it all depends on what you believe in our number three spot today we have the mistake this story starts off with the Storyteller and their wife and this new home that they had moved into they both noticed some weird things happening around the house and this led to them getting a Ouija board in the hopes that maybe they could get some answers as to what may be happening here what they didn't realize before using the board which is pretty common is that these boards open the door to communication for anyone anything lurking on the other end can answer the call and sometimes it's not the spirit you're hoping for while using the board they ended up contacting some sort of entity that didn't give them very clear answers and things were feeling kind of vague near the end of their Ouija experience they had the planchette just suddenly fly off the board despite neither of them touching it after this experience however things got so bad that the pair had to break their lease and move they explained that there were radios and TVs turning on by themselves all the time they would find TAPS run when no one had left them like that they could hear disembodied voices around their home objects were moving and the storyteller's wife even said that she had found the Storyteller possessed one night but he has no memory of it in our number two spot today we have the artist back in 1677 an artist named Christoph heismann was working on a castle in Austria he was so talented at his job that he had been commissioned by The Nobles to do this work there were Rumblings about how he may have sold his soul to the devil but no one was sure of it until it is said that Christoph confessed he said he had nine years prior and that he regretted it very much now and actually wanted an exorcism they demanded to know if he was a practicing witch but in the end it was decided that he was not and that instead the devil just had a very strong hold on him the local priest began giving Kristoff exorcisms and during these sessions Christoph explained that he had these intense Visions where he was coming face to face with the devil who was in the form of a dragon the dragon was holding the contract that held Kristoff's soul and this is when he was able to rip it out of the dragon's Talons when he woke up it seemed as though Pete was cured after this he began painting pictures of the devil and he even painted a story with multiple panels that told the story of how he sold his soul and how they helped him get it back in our number one spot today we have this is not a game this story is said to have taken place over a decade ago and it starts off when the storyteller's sister had some friends over and they were in the basement watching a scary movie when they decided to start playing around with a Ouija board things weren't going exactly as they anticipated and they all started getting frustrated at the board and began to hurl some insults toward it calling it fake and things like that at this point they turned their attention back to the movie and away from the board but it soon became clear that someone was in fact listening all of a sudden the lights and all of the electricity goes out and it's just pitch black the TV suddenly turns back on but it's just blaring static the TV shuts off again and turns back on but it's just a black screen suddenly words appear on this screen that reads this is not a game anymore they all ran out of the house as quickly as they could and that was definitely the last time any of them touched a Ouija board it isn't exactly clear who or what they summoned but whatever it was it certainly was not playing around starting off in our number 10 spot we have the dreams this is a story from somebody named Jake p and they wrote quote my buddy and I found a Ouija board at my girlfriend's house we were really bored so we went to this graveyard by my house to see if it would actually work as suspected nothing happened we brought the board back to my house and didn't think anything of it I feel like that's like the classic story just when the Ouija board hears you talking smack that's when things always start to go crazy though Jake continues on saying quote the next day strange things began happening out of nowhere my friends started having sleep paralysis every time he spent the night at my house despite never having it before the first time he saw a tall woman with long black hair standing in the corner of the room facing the wall the next time he was asleep on the couch and he saw the same woman standing at my Open Door or looking directly into my room I don't know what demon lady they summoned but I hope they did everything they could to get rid of her sounds an awful lot like the bent neck lady and we all know how well that went in our number nine spot today we have Joe Joe isn't necessarily the first name that comes to my mind when making a list of spooky demons but this story that was posted on Reddit might just make me think a little differently they explained that a few months ago one of their friends brought over a Ouija board there were around five of them at the sleepover and they all began playing around with it and asking questions and that is when they met Joe after about an hour of questions and answers with Joe one of the girls asks Joe are you a bad Spirit Joe answered and oh okay that's good but then Joe spelled out h-i-m the girls asked him who he was talking about and that's when he spelled out the words he's coming and started to spell out Zozo which if you aren't familiar is one of the worst Ouija board demons you could possibly encounter that ended up being the end of the Ouija board experience it's for the girls that night because how terrifying but they decided in the morning to try again this time they began speaking to someone who apparently claimed to be Joe's wife they asked her if Joe was a bad Spirit to which she quickly replied y-e-s in our number eight spot today we have the dog this story starts off with the Storyteller who we'll call Alicia and her friends playing with a Ouija board in the backyard she explains that they did end up contacting someone and this is when one of the friends who was also there decides that it would be a good idea to insult the name of this entity I don't know about you but I certainly would never risk it I'm not trying to be haunted for the rest of my life and my afterlife just because I thought I was smug anyway when the friend throws this insult out the vents behind them immediately starts to Rattle this was enough to convince them that it was time to pack up and head back inside they all headed for the door but Alicia's dog stopped at the bottom of the stairs which was already unusual behavior when they turned to look at the dog they found him standing there just snarling looking at something that he could see out in the darkness I'm sure hoping that the person learned not to insult people who lay on the other side in our number 7 spot today we have Blanche this story comes from the Reddit user turtle shell magic and it involves their friends M and L so one night the three of them were at M's house and decided to crack open the good old Ouija board for a little spooky fun they contacted some sort of spirit whose name was Blanche and who lived sometime in the 1800s and everything was going well until M asked Blanche how they died and she replied with the word killing em asked how they had been killed and Blanche said not I from there everything started to get really heavy and the room just like felt different all of a sudden the board was ripped from their hands and went flying across the room they stopped playing immediately but I don't think that they closed everything properly after this incident M's mom passed away just a week after from an illness that no one knew she had not long after this Ella's mom was hospitalized and then shortly after that Turtle Shell's mom had to have emergency surgery maybe this was all just some horrible horrible coincidence but turtle shell says that since then they have experienced things that they think are directly related to what happened that night things like hearing voices Dark Shadows hearing footsteps they find themselves wondering if they're still haunted despite it having been nine years since that night in our number six spot today we have the devil this is a story that is actually the one that caused this person to swear off Ouija boards for the rest of their life they say the experience was so terrifying it made them completely lose interest they explained that halfway through their session in this particular circumstance they ended up contacting a new spirit who claimed to be the devil I personally would like to hang up that call for sure especially when this person explains that the spirit seemed to be annoyed that it was being disturbed like so sorry no problem I'll go the Storyteller explains that after receiving several messages from the spirit that said please stop and then stop which for the wreck record I would have listened to the first time but apparently they just kept going because they say that suddenly the temperature dropped just like you see in the movies from here this Spirit gave them a message that read if you do not stop now I will fill the room with the most evil spirits they definitely took that one seriously and decided it was best to stop and simply has never gone back in our number 5 spot today we have the thrifting find one day this Reddit user found a real old school wooden Ouija board at a thrift store I probably would have run in the opposite direction but they ended up purchasing it later that evening they and a friend decided to try it out and asked a few questions but never got a response they of course got bored and left the Ouija board out on the bed and headed out of the house to go and get some snacks this was all fine until they came back to the house when they got back they realized that the plan chat was now moving but completely on its own the word foul was being spelled out over and over again and the two just stared at it in absolute awe eventually they grabbed the board broke it in half and covered it with salt but before they got rid of it in a safe place I definitely think that experience was probably the last time they ever used a Ouija board in our number four spot today we have persistence this story is from someone with a username Amara Lachey and they wrote quote my cousin was heading to a party with a Ouija board in the trunk of her car for all of us to use on the way to the party she got in a car wreck she was fine but her car was totaled so obviously instead of going to the party she went back home when she opened her closet to get ready for bed the board was somehow back in the closet she burned it after that honestly that is the only truly good response to having something like that happen I'm just glad she was okay and hopefully that board never came back again in our number three spot today we have signs this story starts out like many of the others on this list a group of friends just casually trying their hand at contacting the Paranormal you know that's stuff that most of us do on weekends the friends felt as though they had contacted someone but they wanted to be sure so they said if you're here give us a sign they all stood there and nothing happened which made them doubt the power and ability of the Ouija board just as they were beginning to laugh at the board they received a sign that the entity was with them this came in the form of lights flickering on and off for minutes at a time it didn't stop here though they also could hear footsteps stomping above them despite being the only ones home safe to say they were sufficiently spooked and apologized forever doubting whatever entity they came into contact with in our number two spot today we have the following this story starts out when this person's mother began to get interested in things like card reading and the Occult and she began trying to speak to spirits one day she was using a Ouija board and when the Storyteller touched the planchette it is said that it flew right out of his hand and smashed against the wall this happened when he was a teenager but since then nothing has been the same they explained that from then on in the night they could feel something looking at them from the darkest corner of their room like some sort of shadowy figure you can't really see because it's dark and it's night time but you know it's there throughout their life even after moving to different homes they've seen things in the places they live that seem to be following them anywhere they go in our number one spot today we have ICU this story comes from a Reddit user called no springs one day they were at a friend's house having fun and goofing around and they decided to bring out a Ouija board they weren't getting very many results and weren't really taking it seriously but then they got a message from the board saying I can see you through the window and then another after that that said I can see you through his eyes there was a small window in the basement room they were in and through that window they could see the backyard the driveway and the woods that lay behind it they continued to ask the spirit questions and ended up getting an answer that said I'm under the car somehow they were able to muster up the nerve to go and check under the car with flashlights when they looked they found a huge black stray cat hissing this obviously terrified them and they all ran back into the house as quickly as possible at the exact moment they get back inside the house all of the Power shuts off the lights go out and it's completely dark after that it's safe to say that they stayed up all night unable to sleep and they definitely never played with a Ouija board again.
Top 10 Space Mysteries We Should NEVER Try To Solve
when it comes to the infinite expanse of space I personally choose not to question a lot of it space is terrifying and there is so much in space that could destroy our entire planet we could do absolutely nothing about it so today on most amazing top 10 I'm Adam Andrews and we're talking about the top 10 space Mysteries we should just never try to solve there's a lot here I don't really understand or that I may gloss over or even get wrong so I invite you to discuss everything in this video down below hey butts coming in at number 10 what came before the Big Bang so the Big Bang was what started the universe billions of billions of Earth years ago but like what came before that we honestly don't really know and our smartest Minds theorize the answer is extremely simple Stephen Hawking noted that the answer could literally be nothing we have no observable evidence of what came before everything I come from the top 10 nerd Channel and this question has been answered in different ways in comic books in Marvel they say that we are in a version of the cosmos meaning there was a previous version that ended up getting destroyed and remade but if that's the case what's doing the destroying and the remaking if nothing came before then what the heck caused the Big Bang in the first place if there was something before what would that do to the way we think about the universe and if something is responsible for it all I don't know if our tiny little human brains could actually handle that number nine gravity paradox this question is a pretty simple one but yet it's got a lot of scientists kind of completely stumped why can a refrigerator magnet defy an entire planet's gravitational pull it's basically asking why gravity can be such a strong force in the universe but also be such a weak one in other instances some scientists believe that gravity May well be as strong as other forces like electromagnetism and the force that holds the nucleus together but they think that gravity's influence is dissipated because it leaks into extra dimensions that's just the theory though because we actually have no idea that most famous urban legend one little question about refrigerator magnets has kind of brought the whole idea of gravity into question if it is being dissipated into extra Dimensions that opens up way more questions than it actually answers obviously I'm not smart enough to answer this question I am after all just a YouTube host not a scientist but I would just think it's all subjective right like a planet is so huge that the things that are on the planet would have to follow different gravitational rules right and like a magnet is still being affected by the Earth's gravity it's just so small in comparison that it can do its own thing I'm literally talking about my butt right now I I honestly don't know what I'm talking about we should just move on before I make myself sound more dumb than I already am Number Eight how big is the universe I don't know if you guys have seen that clip from Pete Holmes stand-up routine but he talks about how none of any of this makes any sense the universe is constantly expanding and infinitely Infinity is getting bigger and like Pete says that makes no freaking sense if the universe is constantly expanding and we know it's constantly expanding then when posed with the question of how big the universe is someone would be able to give you an answer but we don't actually have a number for that because we literally don't know the shape of the universe and we don't know the actual rate at which the universe is expanding we just know that it is to me this question Almost Doesn't Matter from most of us because even if we were to try to go to the edge of the universe no one here can live long enough to make that Journey it takes roughly 9 to 12 years to get to Pluto and that's just the furthest planet yes I'm calling it a planet in our solar system which itself is just an extremely tiny Speck in our Milky Way galaxy which is also just a tiny Speck in the vastness of the universe it's all too big this is what I'm basically saying here number seven expansion the last Point does Lead Me nicely to into this next point though which is the fact that while we know the universe is constantly expanding we can't actually put a pin on the rate at which it is actually expanding for the past six years the Hubble Space Telescope has been calculating the speed at which the universe is expanding and recently came up with what is accepted as the most precise measurement to date except that the rate stands in direct conflict with independent measurements of the early universe's expansion that's unsettling for astrophysicists because it means we know even less about our universe and its ways than we thought we did but if we do learn this one would that be a good thing or would it just help us all feel more and more meaningless and Tiny of course these are scientific questions or emotions about these things aren't really important but I'm just saying I already feel small and insignificant number six the Multiverse if you have been keeping up with the MCU then you are at least familiar with the idea of a Multiverse essentially it means that if you go far enough into the universe things would have to start repeating because there's only a finite number of ways that particles can be arranged in space and time according to theories the universe is flat and infinite so those particles would have to repeat creating Another Universe with another Earth and yes another you and because it's all infinite there would be infinite versions of you who could be doing the exact same things as you right now or maybe they wore different clothes today or had completely different job where honestly they're an infinite number of variables here the thing is we will most likely never know if this theory is true or not and even if we did that means there would be an evil alternate you or maybe or maybe you are the evil alternate one I don't know I don't know about that one man I don't like that number five what the heck is dark matter no lights or at least too little light for us to detect we know it exists because we see the effect of its gravity on the stars and the galaxies like the Milky Way which could not have dragged in enough matter to make its own stars in the 13.82 billion years since the Big Bang without there being a lot of invisible matter whose extra gravity helped speed things along I hope that wasn't too confusing the European Space Agency Planck satellite found that dark matter accounts for 26.8 percent of the mass energy of the universe mysteries urban legend compared with the 4.5 percent of normal Atomic matter this basically means that dark matter outweighs the visible stars and galaxies that we can actually see by a factor of about six and yet no earth-based experiment has found any evidence of dark matter at all and we have been looking for a long time it's totally possible that our theory of matter or more likely our theory of gravity needs to be reworked and fiddled with it's also possible that maybe the universe is filled with dark stars and dark planets and dark life what does that even mean I I don't know do you know because I don't number four what is time and does it even exist so when we talk about time we imagine it flowing like a river like a Time stream but for something to Flow by definition it has to flow with respect to something else like how a river flows with respect to a river bank so does time flow with respect to something else another kind of time maybe I I don't know the idea seems kind of stupid and kind of just made up but most likely the flow of time is an illusion that we created on our own with our brains to organize the information constantly flooding in through our senses we also have a strong sense of a shared past present and future however the idea of a common present meaning the time right now that everyone's in doesn't actually exist in our understanding of Relativity precisely how someone else's time is sliced up depends on how fast they are moving relative to you or the strength of the gravity they are experiencing these effects are only really note noticeable with things like the speed of light and super massive gravity which is why they are not super obvious to us in everyday life but it basically means the idea that one person's interval of time is not the same as another person's and that one person's interval of time is not the same as in others if you watch Interstellar there's a pretty basic explanation of this as different members of the crew age differently as they split up to different places around a massive black hole and other planets whose gravities affect all the characters differently time wise it's just my brain hurts actually a lot right now number three do have everything wrong Isaac Newton's theory of gravity was accurate enough to fly spacecraft to the moon but it began breaking down when extremely high speeds and very strong gravitational fields became known to us then Einstein's theory of general relativity came in and was a better alternative it correctly describes the bending of Starlight by gravity the orbital decay of binary pulsars and the warping of space-time around a black hole really cool stuff like that general relativity is currently physicists best theory of gravity but it doesn't answer everything obviously which is why history will probably repeat itself and physicists might discover small effects that would hint at an even better theory of gravity Einstein's theory has passed most of the things that might test it with flying colors but physicists will keep putting their theories on the rack one day it may even fail not being completely wrong but just one small part to a bigger puzzle that none of us will be alive to learn the answer to number two you Earth martians oh boy this one's a doozy okay so look we take it for granted that life on Earth actually began here we just kind of assumed that that's the way things worked but that's not actually necessarily accurate apparently scientists are actually finding evidence that life on Earth may have instead come from Mars and was brought to this planet by like a meteorite at some point in Earth's incredibly long history the trouble is that scientists themselves can't even agree on which area of science will provide the answer to this conundrum and let alone whether science is even where we should look to answer it which like Pete said about the universe's expansion that makes no freaking sense what do you mean what do you mean we can't what number one aliens since the early 1960s scientists have theorized that it's extremely likely that intelligent life exists outside of Earth and I for one totally agree the math kind of has to mean it's true the universe is ever expanding infinite and contains countless other galaxies just like ours with planets that would be in the similar position as ours is to their sun and with the right conditions for life to actually Thrive and grow like the planet Kepler-186f which you should look up if you haven't before it's kind of cool the trouble is that we have basically zero scientific evidence to prove that the life could potentially exist or does in fact exist in fact we have no hard scientific evidence that any life exists outside of Earth although with that planet we actually just can't see that far down onto like the surface of the planet to see what's going on so it could be there we just can't see it although we are finding some fun stuff on Mars that may say otherwise the time may be drawing closer and closer to when science confirms that there is life elsewhere in our solar system or the Galaxy or at least somewhere in the universe and I really hope I'm alive for that the thing that gets me though is if whatever is out there isn't Advanced enough to see us too and if it is Advanced enough to see us then is it Advanced enough to make it here and if that's the case then um we are not as advanced as that and we should stand no chance in defending ourselves against something like that assuming they would want to hurt us which as humans we would just assume they would and if they didn't I think our stupid human brains wouldn't be able to handle the fear of not knowing and we do something dumb like attack them and then we'd be gone because we just can't stand up to that kind of thing you know what I'm saying that's all the time I've got I need a nap word to just sit down because that was a lot so I'll catch you on the flippy flop and stay safe out there and don't think about space too much foreign.
Top 10 People Who Out Lived INSANE Prison Sentences
how's it going on your most amazing people i'm landed and actually just got back from my honeymoon from italy i pre-filmed a ton of videos which is why kind of looks like I never I never left I didn't go anywhere but I went there if you guys watch check out the flog videos I've been doing you guys can click right over here and in this video I went to restaurant me and my wife we ordered some food but the guy didn't want to serve us he told me to go back to my country the guy was just just a racist guy we filmed the whole thing he's flipping the bird he's just he's telling me off if you guys won't watch this video click right here and also there's another vlog video if you guys want to go through the channel or I almost got arrested american urban legends for being Brown I got pulled over I got ID checked it was really crazy I mean what's going on in Italy if you guys want to check it out you guys can click right here also I'll put the link in the description below but other than all of that Italy was amazing the food was great and I can't wait to go back ok so enough of all that let's get right into this list this is the top 10 people who outlived insane prison sentences starting off at number 10 we have any Collins and this is not to get confused with any Collins the American baseball player we're talking about a man who's been locked up for the past 43 years and he was serving time for first-degree murder throughout his prison stay he said and I quote it was a sad situation it was something I regret and still regret he was 21 years old living in Arizona at the time he was locked up he grew up in the bad part of the city where he was buying drugs with this 17 year old brother well one day when Eddie and his brother was buying drugs they got into an altercation and that's when Eddie pulled out a gun as you guys what happens next Bam Bam life in jail moving into number nine we're talking about oldest Johnson who just served 44 years behind bars Otis went to prison at the age of 25 years old for attempted murder of a police officer Otis has been locked away since the 70s and now he's just entered into the modern society of complex technology it's gonna be a really tough time for him but he did commit a horrible crime back in 1998 was when he lost touch with his family so he doesn't know anything about them or where they are he's just alone in the world when he was released from prison they gave him his ID back and they gave him 40 bucks here you go spending spree he is for sure gonna have to renew his ID because I mean he's been locked away for a very long time $40.00 won't actually get you that far and oh yeah he also got two bus tickets I mean where the heck is Otis gonna go he enters the world as a homeless person he was released at the age of 69 years old most of your life is gone you've like lived it and it was in jail you can no longer work so I'm not sure how he's gonna make a living well I guess that was the decision he should have decided 44 years ago number eight we have drawn Franzese who is a hundred-year-old mobster who has just released from prison after serving 50 years behind bars John was released on the 23rd of June of this year so that was just like weeks ago he was released from the Federal Medical Center John was an underboss of the crime organization John has boosted about killing at least 60 people in his lifetime of crime it's actually so crazy to me that this guy was allowed to be released into the public I know he's probably now a very very harmless old man you can't really do anything but he didn't give those 60 people a chance on life I don't know I'm just saying serving 60 years at number 7 we have Harvey Stewart Harvey was released back in 2011 at the age of 83 years old Harvey Stewart has a really long rap sheet from a junkyard heist in Houston to murdering someone during most of his prison stay not many people visited him and Stewart can't recall one person who visited him in the past decade or two he has been isolated from the world and doesn't know what's been going on he doesn't know the Paul Brothers were taken over YouTube so coming out after 60 years must be a huge shock to him especially this like what is that how do you explain that that was the most popular thing this year when he was sentenced to prison a Volkswagen Beetle cost us $1700 shoes were ten bucks John F Kennedy was president people went to space for the first time the Beatles just released their first single in the UK so much has changed jack the ripper urban legends over time number six we have a man who served 62 years behind bars we're talking about Hugh Alderman he was a bank robber who was obviously caught his jail sentence started when he was 23 years old back in 1917 Hugh was the sole survivor of a four man gang just a few years after being sent to prison he was able to escape and he escaped again in 1924 in 1927 t news released a mental hospital where he passed away at the age of 86 years old he lost his whole life because he wanted some money he didn't want to work for it he was able to steal six thousand dollars which is like what the heck but back then that's that six thousand dollars back then with inflation the money now would be worth around 124 thousand dollars that's still not enough money to just lose your whole life like to take chance of that I don't know now this person has lived a really sad story and this person comes in at number five and I'm talking about Charles Edward Ford who outlived a 64 year long prison sentence the sad part is Charles was innocent he is served with a longest sentence as an innocent person he was actually released from prison just last year Charles was convicted of murder well here's a little backstory this took place in the early 50s and Charles is a black man who appeared in front of an all-white juror in a time where black people didn't have any rights Charles was just 20 years old at the time and his life just flashed before him after 64 years he was finally released in a nursing center where he's now 86 years old I mean this is a really sad situation there's no way to give him his life back Howard Christensen is next up on this list at number four howard was sentenced to life without parole for the murder of a teacher in 1937 he was 16 years old at the time when he murdered a teacher he committed this crime alongside a 17 year old who was also caught for the crime that person was also says its life in prison but they hung themselves back in 1943 just six years after being sentenced about 30 years into the prison sentence the sentence was changed from life without parole to 200 years in prison but in 2001 after serving 64 years he was released from prison but just two years after that he passed away number-three Richard Hunnic at the age of 20 years old Richard was sentenced to life in prison for murder of a former school friend life and prison sentence usually varies depending on where you live in the world I could depend on what state you live in or what city you live in I know this states has very different laws some places they even have a three-strike law meaning no matter what crime you commit if it's three crimes you're sentenced to life so for Richard he was paroled after serving 63 years in one month in jail he was released at the age of 85 years old he lived on another 12 years until he passed away at the age of 97 years old and that was back to 1976 now we're number two we have Johnson van Dijk of Grigsby Johnson was sentenced in prison back in 1908 for murder over the years he was denied parole 33 times before he was finally released at the age of 89 years olds because he was deemed not a threat to anyone anymore he wasn't a threat to society to let's just release him he was released in 1974 after serving 66 years but he actually quickly returned back to prison voluntarily after finding it too difficult to find the job so he checked himself back into prison for two more years so now at the age of 91 years old he's finally out of prison for good and then 10 years after that at the age of 101 years old he passed away I mean that's a really sad situation when you like you check yourself back in to prison because you don't know any other life finally number one we have Paul Goodell jr. who is known to have served the longest prison sentence in the United States possibly the world he was sentenced to 68 years in variety of different new york state prisons and he actually lived to see the day when he was released from prison that is actually a very rare thing at the end of his lengthy sentence he was paroled at the age of 86 years old back in 1911 Paul's convicted of second-degree murder at the age of 17 years old when Paul was paroled he actually didn't want to leave prison because that was the only life that he knew but at the end he decided to leave so when he left there was a lot of reporters there but he said he doesn't want any publicity he doesn't want to be on the news he doesn't even care if people know who he is Paul went on to live in a nursing home before dying at the age of 93 years old which is about seven years after being released from prison this guy only spent about 24 years of his entire life as a free man well there you guys have it.
Top 10 People Who Claim To be Immortal
the oldest human being to ever live was Jeanne Calment she was born in 1875 and died in 1997 at the age of 122 everyone agrees this is the longest a human being has ever existed for well not everyone some people say there are others much older than that some people say there are humans who have become immortal some people even say that they themselves are immortal do you believe them let's find out my name is Danny Burke and this is the top ten people claimed to be immortal starting off at number 10 now we have Alex you he is a 46 year old man who claims to be immortal how has he achieved that for the use of his immortality rings he invented these small magnetic rings to be worn on people's fingers and toes to ensure that people's cells always heal properly and never die apparently if the cells constantly regenerate then the person never dies he says he has modernized ancient Chinese medicine to make immortality accessible for everyone you can actually buy these rings on Amazon right now although I don't recommend it they come in either black or white or the black one costs more because it's stronger apparently listen I don't know how it all works I'm just a mere mortal next up at number nine we have a Leonard Jones he was an American politician born in 1797 who claimed to be immortal more interestingly though he claimed that anyone else to be immortal you just need the right amount of fasting and praying he found a preacher that believed the same as him and together they found that the live forever faith and tried to recruit people to found a city of immortals while they were recruiting the preacher died apparently Leonard Jones was very much embarrassed when he had to speak at the funeral of his immortal partner he then switched to politics and tried to run for US terrifying kidnappings president many times with his main policy being you know his immortality suddenly he lost a lot of support when he died aged 71 and people say you can't trust politicians all right right now we have the wandering Jewish man in medieval Europe there was a story of a Jewish man who was there at the crucifixion of Jesus as he saw Jesus carrying the cross the man taught at him and told him to hurry up Jesus then turned to him and cursed him to walk the earth until he returned in the second coming his name was AHA Cirrus and countless people said they saw him wandering the earth hundreds of years later sometimes he was old sometimes young or even change between the two others say it's simply a story of symbolism for the Jewish Diaspora that has moved across the earth over the past millennia what do you guys think moving on to number seven now we have the immortal monk in 1927 the leader of a group of Russian Buddhist monks gathered his followers to announce his own death his name was dashi doors oh it eagle off he predicted that Stalin Russia's leader would persecute them and he warned them to flee then he said he would return in 75 years and in a deep meditation he passed away then many years later his body was exhumed the monks were amazed to find his body perfectly preserved his limbs were flexible and a skin was elastic in 2002 his body was put on display in the temple it was 75 years on and he had apparently returned the bullets believe that he remains in a deep meditative state on the edge of life and death makes the Panama six now we have Nicolas Flamel you might recognize this guy's name from Harry Potter as the immortal wizard who created the Philosopher's Stone and was a good friend of Dumbledore's well that fiction is based on the real Nicolas Flamel he was a French scribe born in 1340 and records show that he died in 1418 however hundreds of years later in the 1700s story started to emerge that he was still alive people said he was an alchemist who had discovered the real Philosopher's Stone and achieved immortality there are people who believe framel faked his own death and went into hiding to protect this powerful artifact from getting into the wrong hands and that he's still out there today coming up number five now we have Merlin Merlin was said to be the legendary wizard figure at the court of King Arthur King Arthur himself is a figure that is steeped in both history and legend it's often difficult to untwine the two Merlin was said to be half human half demon his demonic side was where he inherited his incredible powers and abilities but his human side put them to work for good one of these inherited powers was immortality believers and his existence say that you can find sightings of Merlin throughout British history many hundreds of years after his time with King Arthur others say this is just retellings of the same story the only way to find the truth is to keep picking apart the fact from the fiction Athen of a four-spot now we have the three Nephites according to Mormons Jesus visited what is now America after his resurrection he chose twelve apostles and real horror stories when his time came to leave three of them asked to stay behind forever to help humanity and watch over them Jesus was said to have granted this and Mormons believe the three Nephites still walk among us today as proof of this they point to stories of kind strangers helping people throughout history before disappearing without a trace next up at number three now we have Achilles I'm sure you've all heard of the phrase Achilles heel this is the guy it comes from he was said to be a legendary Greek hero of the Trojan War the story goes that when he was a baby he was dipped into the river Styx the river that separates Earth from the underworld this made him invulnerable to everything even death itself effectively making him immortal except for one tiny thing they held him in the river by his ankle meaning that his ankle was totally vulnerable he was killed by a poison arrow to the ankle in a battle thus bringing his immortality to a swift end Achilles heel really was his Achilles heel next up at number two now we have the count of st. Germain he was a European nobleman who was born in 1691 and was known for his works and science the arts and philosophy he was said to have attained immortality after drinking an elixir which he made through his mastery of alchemy he traveled European courts where Nobles were astonished to see he had not aged a single day in the 50 years since they last saw him many people said that he could live forever even himself having confessed on at least one occasion to be 300 years old using the secrets of universal medicine records show he died in 1784 at the age of 93 but there have been countless stories of his appearance since then even as recently as the 1970s all right finally another one now we have Quincy High he was a famous Chinese emperor whose dynasty lasted 400 years some of the most famous works under his rule include the Terracotta Army and parts of the Great Wall of China he was said to be so loved by his people for they thought of him as an immortal this was a prophecy Quinn she was more than happy to fulfill and he became obsessed with seeking immortality on two occasions he sent hundreds of people out into the world to find the legendary elixir of life both times were a failure in the end he died of mercury poisoning after he ate too many mercury pills given to him by his doctors to try and make him mortal oh dear well guys I'm not sure how I feel about some of those stories but you know there's no smoke without fire also if there are immortal people out there maybe staying hidden it's one of the reasons they live so long.
Top 10 Evil Experiments That Took Place In Texas
There is so much we have learned through science and medical experiments that have changed our world and a lot of the time it's for the better but sometimes well let's just say some experiments should have been left to the imagination welcome back to the most amazing everybody today I've got a crazy list for you so buckle up and let's dive into the top 10 evil experiments that took place in Texas starting us off at number 10 dog experiments a few years back Peter released a scathing expose on the Texas A M University's Laboratories what was branded as a breeding program turns out to have been closer to a cruel experiment under the guise of science it turns out that they had been actively lying about their dog breeding program and were actually using the dogs for cruel and painful experiments dogs under their care were deliberately bred to develop a crippling form of canine muscular dystrophy that prevented most of the dogs from walking eating properly or having any kind of quality of life from there they would use the dogs in experiments involving biopsies and these devices that stretched their muscle tissue causing them not only incredible pain during the procedures But ultimately forcing many of the dogs to be euthanized due to the toll it put on their bodies apparently the university had been doing these kinds of experiments for nearly 40 years before Peta was able to put an end to it and thankfully all of the dogs have now been rescued and are being sent to new homes next up at number nine hepatitis in the 1950s one institution ran a very very dark experiment that I honestly can't quite believe was able to happen even that long ago the institution was for disabled people specifically
those deemed to have mental illnesses or mental disorders at that time and due to the highly unsanitary conditions of this institution many contracted hepatitis you would think that this would maybe make them go oh maybe we should tidy up around here protect those that are under our care but that was not really their approach instead Dr Saul Krugman proposed an experiment to try and develop a vaccine now while I can appreciate the thought that was behind his proposition rather than testing on the already contracted citizens they actually began purposefully infecting people with the disease to assist in the experiment now don't get it twisted there were many folks against this from the start but ultimately parents of the admitted people gave their permission to infect them and use them in the study so fourth they went it's kind of crazy to believe that someone would actually go along with that but apparently they didn't seem to care too much about infecting disabled people with a deadly disease so there you have it coming in at number eight project artichoke in the 1950s the CIA ran a series of Mind Control projects called project artichoke and their goal was simple but definitely
unethical the primary goal was to see if a person could involuntarily be made to attempt an act of assassination so essentially they were trying to see if they could mind control someone into killing another person at first they went about trying to gain mind control by studying the test subjects via hypnosis and total isolation as a means to break down the subjects but soon they realized something was missing in came forceding addictions along with a slew of other drugs followed by forced withdrawal they would also use chemicals to incite Amnesia on the human subjects and those that got out were left incredibly foggy and traumatized with little to no recollection of what they had been through the study was shut down by the 1960s likely due to the fact that they were traumatizing and forcing Addiction on unsuspecting innocent civilians but it did open the door for more research around the possibility of mind control so you never know maybe someday it might just be possible next up at number seven the two-headed dog in 1959 Vladimir had a truly evil Vision his experiments were among some of the first organ and tissue transplant research which ultimately some have argued is obviously very valuable information but his methods were certainly unethical and definitely controversial he started out transplanting organs by sewing them onto the outside of animals but ultimately gained his notoriety for creating a two-headed dog to make his Frankenstein dog he removed the head and front legs of a small dog from the rest of its body and then transplanted it onto a larger host dog the dogs actually lived for four days after the experiment declaring it seemingly
successful and they were able to see and look around during that time so all in all while it did help chart the course of modern transplants it was certainly viewed as a very controversial study next up at number six the Milgram experiment named after the psychologist Stanley Milgram who spearheaded the experiment this study began in the summer of 1961 and it looked at testing the limits of obedience many academics at the time wanted to take a look into what was at the core of an authoritative personality and how someone could be swayed to commit something that ultimately they didn't want to do simply because they believed they had to a newspaper advertisement was sent out but the details were not provided until test subjects arrived once the study began the two groups were separated one group was assigned to be an actor and the other group was tasked with shocking the person in the room after they answered a question wrong what group two didn't know was that group one was not actually being shocked just acting as if they were and as it turns out an incredibly High proportion of the subjects continued to shock the group despite thinking they were hurting them simply because they felt they had no other choice and later another scientist thought the experiment needed to be amped up as he hypotheized people could have felt the victim was faking it the new study included real life dogs as the subjects being shocked and test subjects apparently openly wept while still following orders to shock the dogs apparently proving that many humans will follow orders to a fault creepy urban legend
coming in at number five radiation after World War II there were many questions surrounding radioactive materials and the effects these could have on humans moving forward well apparently they decided the best people to test out this incredibly harmful and dangerous study on would of course be pregnant women medical researchers fed radioactive Edibles in the form of energy drinks to 829 pregnant women and not only didn't they tell them what they were giving them but they straight up lied and said that it would actually improve the health of their babies many of the women in the study became incredibly ill would get covered in rashes and bruises and some ultimately ended up developing cancer but worst of all is that many of the fetuses were in fact born with leukemia or other forms of cancer and the mothers didn't even know that they had been involved in an experiment in the first place that was until it was much too late coming in at number four the syphilis study back in 1932 the United States Public Health Service began to dive into the natural progression of syphilis if left untreated and listen like I understand that these kinds of experiments provide us with knowledge of how to help protect people in the future but what I'm saying is that there are better ways to go about it in this study 600 poor and illiterate men of which only 399 previously had syphilis were hired and none of them were told about what the experiment was going to be for or that they had a life-threatening disease in the first place the 600 men were instead told that they were actually receiving free health care meals and burial insurance in exchange for their participation what's even more sick is that even though penicillin was proven to be an effect of cure in 1947 this study continued all the way until 1972. essentially needlessly infecting hundreds of people and watching them die of a disease that already had a cure I mean it's just insane that this went on for so long and it's definitely
one of the most evil experiments to have seen the light of day coming in at number three Eugenics prior to World War II there was actually many places around the United States that were bro Eugenics of course this all changed after the infamous evil experiments performed in the war but rewind to 1907 and it was actually widely accepted Across the Nation firstly sterilization was enacted as a hypothesis to help reduce crime rates and stop mental disabilities and then not long after they began to bring race in as a factor in the hopes to improve genetic stock through the sterilization of unpreferred races because it is women who give birth they were often the victims of these experiments as eugenicists believed it was the best way to protect and regulate birth rates and weed out who they didn't want to be able to reproduce although it was first overturned in 1921 by 1927 the Supreme Court actually ruled in favor of forced sterilization believing it would create a better Society for us all to live in I mean it's truly horrid that this was not only legal but encouraged by so many coming in at number two a cure for Insanity 1907 seems to have been a busy year for evil scientists but rather than Eugenics this doctor believed he could actually cure Insanity Dr Henry cotton was convinced that internal organs upon developing a Hooked Urban Legend infection were the root cause of mental disorders so cotton got involved with the Asylum and got to researching on what he refers to as patience but really were victims of his cruel experiments he believed that by removing the infected organ he could not only cure his patients of their disorders but then step body that organ for further research and that's all well and fine if you're dealing with maybe a root canal but when it comes to vital organs it's not the same story dubbed surgical bacteriology the procedures were often done without the patient's consent and he would remove teeth tonsils and even colons and other organs of the leg to further prove his point he even removed his own teeth along with his wife and sons too which I mean if he was trying to prove a point does that mean he thought he was insane because why else would he remove his teeth but in the end 49 of his patients died which he chalked up to end stage psychosis Texas Urban Legend
and to this day the project is viewed as incredibly cruel last up in our number one spot the aversion project led by Dr Aubry Levin this program identified homosexual soldiers from the Army and subjected them to horrific medical tortures as a means to try and change their sexual orientation now at the time it was believed that being gay was a a disease that could be and should be cured and so the experiment to convert soldiers began the experiment lasted between 1971 to 1989 and the soldiers were submitted to extensive electric shock treatment while being forced to view explicit images of the same sex trying to cause their brain to make negative associations with homosexuality when the subjects didn't change or at least didn't admit to changing their sexual orientation they would force the victims into sex changing operations making them effectively straight women in their eyes reportedly 900 gay men between 16 to 24 were surgically changed into women against their will and once the experiment was shut down Levin fled to Canada and denied ever being a part of the cruel and evil experiment well there you have it guys thanks so much for watching I'm Kennedy and I'll see you next time [Music] thank you
