Two favorite Caitlin voices: Basic White Girl Midwestern Soccer Mom

Okay, that meat woman doesn't look anything like a skinned corpse. Jesus.

The german word for a dead body is “Leiche”. “Kadaver” is mostly used for dead and already decaying animals (like, u can’t use/eat or often even identify what it was).

My almost 1 year old, black kitten is an alien, who feels the need to teleport throughout the house. That's why her name is Nibbler. 🐱💖

Just for funsies can we examine death in cinema? What would Bernie's weekend really have looked like? Or how about movies that famously uses actual human skeletal remains as props.

The fact that they chose to mutilate that poor child's corpse to try and fit their narrative, shows that they don't view the Ancient Nazca people (or the current people, for that matter) as something that is deserving of respect.

I can't tell you how many times my mother stated FB stories as true fact. She even recited the China one to me once and I remember looking at the pic and saying "thats not what skinned human looks like". She looked at me weird and I went back to playing my pokemon game.

I burst out laughing at the cameo from Meow. I bawled my eyes out during your video about her passing. I lost my best friend, Oreo at 13 years old on Christmas morning 2017 and watching your videos in a last year has really helped me out and prepared me for her death. Watching her labored breathing all night was really rough. Her body is still up in the shed because it's too damn cold here to bury her.

Ah yes, the ancient astronaut theory, AKA the “all non-Western ancient civilizations, but especially pre-Colombian indigenous peoples, were clearly too stupid and primitive to build stuff so aliens had to do it” theory.

Many of these hoaxes seem to play on people’s xenophobia.

0:35 are you kidding me ? That doesn't nearly resemble the structures of a human body. The muscles, tendons, etc. That's minced meat.

There is this mockumentary about mermaids. I believe it is called 'The Body Found'. It is so well made that people thought it was legit for a long time 😅

Although it doesn't involve human corpses, I always get a kick out of when a badly decayed whale/squid/etc carcass washes ashore, and people automatically think it's some previously unknown sea monster

My favorite one was the one that McDonald's uses ground up Yugoslavian orphans to make their burgers. Those patties are still full of things you don't want in your body but I'm fairly certain that ain't one of 'em

My grandpa passed away yesterday 😢 I'm so glad I found this channel so I could inform my family about their options.

The "Chopper" case is my favourite paranormal hoax. In short: A violent-sounding spirit voice started to talk from a sink in a dentist's office. Media ran wild and the biggest authorities in parapsychology in Germany jumpend on the case. In the end, a dental assistant was caught shouting in one of the pipes in the cellar. Professor Hans Bender, head of the parapsychology department in Freiburg believed it until the very end. That's the reason why there is no department of parapsychology in Freiburg anymore. Or anywhere in Germany.

How, like HOW, does your hair work. It's PERFECT EVERY SINGLE DAY....HOOOOOW?

I just purchased From Here to Eternity. I can’t wait to read it! Having been a forensic anthropology major in college, I truly appreciate your gallows humor as well as your sense of humor in general. You do fascinating work!

I love your videos. I am a former Detective, and a Coroner's Assistant from Solano County .CA. I have tagged and bagged well over 2,000 folks from about every type of death possible... I also worked at a mortuary in Quincy, .CA. Death is most often a a very natural event thus called the great equalizer. Keep up the great work on informing the public. Maybe some day you can explain how the young lady found in a water tank on top of an L. A. hotel, was water logged, thus causing the FD having to cut out a larger hole to remove her. She could have easily climbed in the tank. Ends up a floater then becomes water logged. This happens all the time folks. The large amount of floaters are more often then not recognizable anymore. Water especially sea water will distort a human face in horrible creatures. Thanks again for these great videos!

Could you do a video about Marilyn Monroe's autopsy, please. I know it may not be your exact speciality but I thought it would be interesting for you to discuss her autopsy as many believe it's fake.

Awww, The Meow. I had a Siamese named Meow too. She passed long before Caitlin's and I still miss her terribly.

Hey my dearh bae! Actually I wanted to talk about the German corpse fabrics, as the subject is quite interesting for me. In my home time, which is Gdansk in northern Poland, we had this Institute of Anatomy. During WWII, a guy named Rudolf Spanner was successifly experimenting on preparing human skin AND making soap from human fat. He was getting the bodies from Stutthoff concentration camp, a nearby asylum in Kocborowo and people that were executed in a prison at that time (also soliders). I really think not too much know about this case, which is funny for me, because I was growing up with this story. We even have a board on the ex anatomy institute building, which says a little about what happened there. I recommand a polish documentary, "Mydło z ludzi" ("human soap") by Mariusz Olbrychowski. :D

I get so excited when you post a video. I came across this channel a few months ago and I've been hooked ever since! Much love ❤️

As a person from the Midwest I can confirm people sound like that

Drop everything A new video from Caitlin so my life is on pause for 8 minutes & 36 seconds

Caitlin! I just bought both of your books! I couldn't put your memoir "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and Other Lessons From The Crematorium" down. It was so cool and insightful into the modern death industry and how it's evolved from our once intimate relationship with death. I'm excitedly beginning From Here To Eternity, the anthropology student in me is eating it up. I even got one of my friends into it, She's reading Smoke and has been bingeing your podcasts! Keep up the amazing work!

Valley girl sipping loudly on a straw after saying something profoundly naive ... Beautiful touch, Caitlin.

11/10 bangs on point. I will forever be amazed by them.

It's nice to see the Meow making a comeback :)

I am so glad you made videos debunking myths, urban legends and out right lies. Thanks so much.

Another home run, Caitlin. You really kept us on the edge of our seats. I love these little tidbits of information you provide to us. You must do a lot of reading to stuff your head as full as it is. No one can ever say you're an airhead, because you have no room left for air. I do have a question for you that I thought of as I was typing...the spontaneous combustion of humans! True or False? Inquiring minds want to know.

The meow!!! Im happy to of been here long enough to know who she was.

Fun fact: I played Margaret Fox in a History Channel reenactment on a show called Wild West Tech. I got attacked by a mob at the magic castle during shooting. It was fun! Lol.

I always wondered how they made the creepy alien corpses you see on those documentaries....never imagined some of them could be human remains though.

The soap part was truthful as well as making book covers from human skin. My grandmother told me exactly what went on in these factories.

I was so worried she was just gunna stop posting nearly as much when the year of content stopped, but she's still going! Yay!!!

Just watching a corpse hoax video in the middle of a cafe. Nothing to see here kids move along

Awwww RIP Meow. I don't know why but you mentioning her got me emotional all over again.

I'm so glad I learned to ask for evidence/proof back before it was easy to debunk. My friends call me a killjoy, but note: they are still my friends. Win/Win.

Awww rest in peace The Meow. You weren't known that well by Caitlin's fans but will be greatly missed. Meow, meow, meow, meow meow!!!!!!!

I told my husband what I want done with my body in case something happens to me! It’s weirdly relieving.

I always thought Gaia was so fake because you have to pay for their “disclosure”. I was actually very curious about the “bodies” they claim to have and how they got them. And as to how you felt about all the testing on these real bodies. I wonder if they’ll get any legal action taken against them. I’d like to see more videos like this it is very fascinating

As an archaeologist, your section on Nazca makes me thrilled. These issues need to be highlighted. Kevin Feder’s Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries is a great book.

That fake Alien mummy girl really disturbed the shit outta me, and that's after seeing Bentham's head.

I’ve been hanging out in Paris these past two weeks and it would be really awesome if you could do a video on the Catacombes and if allowing the general public there is a good idea. An iconic corpse on Sara Baartman would be interesting too!

The kitty I grew up with died yesterday. How do I cope? Whiskey, tears, and Caitlin's KZfaq channel. Thank you for all you do Caitlin.

I have so much respect for how emotionally mature you are. Greetings from Poland!

I'd pay to see a movie based off the Fox sisters. Sounds interesting.

Too funny! Corned corpse & cabbage anyone? Now thats a new spin on St. Patrick's day dinner.

If you think about WWI and Germany being accused of burning bodies, it's a disturbing paralel that they actually did it in WWII.

Caitlin!!! I just bought your book (hard cover!) From Here To Eternity! I’m so excited to read it!

Awww, The Meow!

I had a dream the other day that I couldn't find a bathroom but you were there and were very helpful and kept trying to help me find one. Thank you for being so kind in my dreams 😂

What the heck, KZfaq?! I subscribed to this channel LAST YEAR, and suddenly, I am having to resubscribe?! I love this channel!!!

One of my favorite cases was the Bigfoot corpse supposedly found in 2008 and put in ice that turned out to be a fur suit with animal guts inside.

That meow at the end of the video😂

Kadaver would mainly be used for an ‘unusable’ (for food that is) animal carcass in old fashioned german. It isn’t used a lot anymore though.

You should do one on how Hollywood uses real skeletons. It’s not just an urban myth from Poltergeist. Sometimes it’s just easier and cheaper to rent the real thing from a medical supply shop apparently (according to a Imaginary Worlds podcast about ‘the Poltergeist curse’ which wasn’t a curse at all).

This stuff creeps me out but you make it all so interesting. Thank you 🙂

That meow joke 😂😭 my feels

"There's a sucker born every minute" P.T. Barnum

Love all your videos and have read all of your books! One “famous” burials that fits in this alien category is the alien supposedly buried in Aurora texas.

Love your channel, I just wish I had discovered it sooner!! I Look forward to every new video.

I love that the late wonderful Mew still makes the occasional appearance as a gag! Thanks for the informative video

RIP Meow!!!!!

Im addicted to your videos! Death is so interesting, and if my first choice career doesnt work out i want to be a mortician. Thanks for making these, its nice to get insight.

I KNEW I HEARD CHRISTINES INTRO SONG! I've been waiting for a silent moment in the videos so I could really listen and this provided it!

Thank you for the awesome content!!! I just read through Smoke gets in your eyes and I love the way you present such a dark part of humanity. Thank you

This was great! Maybe for the future, do a segment on graves with an air pipe leading to the coffin, or bells attached to the deceased's toe. You know, the fear-of-being-buried-alive schtick. Keep informing us, Caitlin!

Just received my copy of From Here to Eternity in the post!!! Yaaaaaaaaay! I cant wait to settle down tonight with: 1. A nice cuppa 2. My light orb (think ill make it orange tonight) 3. My lil doggie by my side 4. My cosy blanket! Cheers Caitlin! Ive been waiting forever for an author like you. Smoke gets in your eyes was the bomb!

that first clip of music is what simplynailogical uses for her intro & now I am imagining some EXCELLENT collabs.

Im finally early I would just like to say that i love your channel and everything you are doing. I got your books for my birthday and loved them. Hope you have a wonderful new year.

Still want to hear about Peruvian cave mummies :D

I’ve been watching your videos for only a week now but I love it. My mother has always talked about her death and so has my grandfather so I know exactly what they want. Also I come from a tiny town in the Midwest and we have the same funeral home that has been used for so many years as it just keeps passing down and I wish they would look into more natural stuff. I live directly across from our cemetery and it’s very quaint and nice, however for once I would like to see a natural burial.

That impression in the beginning is so spot on its almost scary...

We all love a good, juicy urban legend Caitlin. Your videos are fascinating! Thank you for making them. x

I love your valley girl voice. I think it's freaking hysterical. But awesome video.

The Miaow's ghost gave me sad feels but also made me laugh. What an odd experience =s

Have you thought about getting a Purr? If the meow is still in fact around, they may want a friend.

I miss the Meow :(

You made me feel so much more comfortable with death, I was so so so scared of dying but you made me feel like death is normal (which it is) you took so much anxiety off of my shoulder ❤️ ILY

I just discovered your chanel, well like 3 hours ago... Supper fascinating content. I think I'm a fan now.

The facial expressions! You are so animated! I love it!

All i hear in the begining is the simplynailogical music😂

You could do a video on the Irish lady who just married a Haitian pirate ghost... cause apparently, there are countries where, with the help of a medium, people can legally marry a ghost. Live your best afterlife?

Caitlin, please recommend some scary books for us! I don't think you've done a video on this. I'm really curious what are your favorite books and what books have truly creeped you out!

I, too, can pop my toes against the floor and often do it without noticing. Like when I'm looking in the fridge..But it's not like cracking, it's a sort of popping motion that sounds like little knocks. I didn't know other people could do that!

I'm simple.... I see Caitlin I click.

Aww..The Meow came to visit. :3

I see the Meow in a shawl and a basket, with a woman of dark hair.. As for the rest, I confirm nothing about the other claims but being telekinetic, I naturally live in my cupboard *flicks hair*

Would you please do an Iconic Corpse episode on Julia Petta? I just found your channel a few days ago and I'm hooked! Love it! Thank you for all of the information that you provide!

This was interesting. Can you do a follow-up video sharing the history and your views on "communicating" with the dead as part of the grieving process and the history as it pertains to funeral process?

Great video Caitlin!!! Thank you for the amazing content!!! Going with the theme for "The year of action", here's a little PSA for anyone reading. This isn't just death related. It's living, dying, and being a human related. No matter what walk of life you may come from this pertains to you. Whether it be "corpse hoaxes", "fake news" or anything in between. For articles that you read online, saw on television, or heard from a friend. Literally any and all new information that is presented to you. Before reacting to whatever it may be, take a moment. Please, PLEASE do a little follow up research before taking something as fact. No matter what side of the isle your on, or where ever your loyalties and beliefs may lie, please take just a moment to do a little fact checking. Here are some helpful tips below. 1. Consider the source. The so-called mainstream media may not be in everyone’s good graces these days, but by and large, such time-tested names as the Associated Press, New York Times and NBC can be reliably trusted to check their facts before reporting something. That’s not the case with sites run by the National Report ("Solar Panels Drain the Sun’s Energy, Experts Say"), World News Daily Report ("Old Lady Shoots Husband for Stepping on Floor She Just Mopped") and Currentish ("Fireworks Explodes [sic) in Woman’s Vagina During Walmart Shoplifting Attempt"). If you’ve never heard of the outfit that published the story, there’s probably a good reason. 2. Examine the publisher’s website closely. Some of these sites openly admit their stories are fiction or satire in the "About Us" section of the website (if they have one). World News Daily Report even states it on the front page: “All characters appearing in the articles in this website … are entirely fictional and any resemblance between them and any person, living, dead or undead, is purely a miracle.” Others hide their true identity behind cleverly conceived web addresses. Adding an extra ".co" to the end of its URL allows a site like abcnews.com.co to pass itself off as better-known and more trusted news brand. Don’t fall for it. 3. Consult the experts. If something seems a little dodgy, readers can turn to a number of websites devoted exclusively to debunking fake news. The oldest of the lot is Snopes.com, founded in the mid-1990s by David Mikkelson to fact-check urban legends circulating at the time via email. A more recent entrant is FactCheck.org, a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania, which tends to focus more on scrutinizing the statements of politicians and other public figures. 4. Check for quality. Many fake news websites don’t even try to do things properly, eschewing such traditions as proper punctuation, spelling, and grammar. Lacing headlines with words in all-capital letters is another favorite tactic of fake news writers. Also be on the lookout for exclamation points and headlines that insist you "MUST READ" something. 5. Check to see if anyone else is reporting the same thing. It doesn’t mean the story is not true if they aren’t, but with even reputable news sites regularly “borrowing” and rewriting stories from other sites there is rarely - if ever - such a thing as an exclusive or “scoop” in the internet age. Rest assured, if Justin Beiber pledged his allegiance to ISIS, it would be big news and be reported far beyond your Facebook feed. 6. Don’t stop at the headline. In fake news items, the facts often don’t even pretend to back up the central premise and the sources cited tend to be less than credible. A quote from "Fappy the Anti-Masturbation Dolphin" in a story about the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools should be a dead giveaway. 7. Finally … just scroll down. In the case of Facebook, the easiest way to check if a story is true or not is often to read the comments below it. If a story is false, it’s a safe bet that one of your friends has already called it out as fake in the comments section. Thank you for talking the time to read this. Note- I sourced the tips from aarp, whom had sourced it from snopes.

Not human corpses necessarily, but the fact that people try find these 'cyclops' skulls and make like an entire thing about it, while in reality, the skull is actually a mammoth's skull and the 'eye' is just the nose canal for the tusk

I thought this was going to tell me when Soylent Green was coming out. I keep asking for it at stores, but just get funny looks. Going to check Amazon again.

My favourite death related hoax is still the Mortsafe. As in, people took pictures of graves with them claiming that it was to keep vampires in, when really it was to keep graverobbers out lol.

Can you do a video on Anne Green? I have just finished reading Newes From The Dead and I am fascinated!

I love your channel Caitlin! Keep it up X

I never realised that my toe cracking skills could enable me to commune with the dead.
