"...and her sister, who was certainly a reliable witness..." That one cracked me up. Thanks.

That Fishman story is cool. It's heartwarming the way people honored his memory even if he was a little wierd

You are so tender and respectful in your narration

As always a fascinating albeit sad video. The conjoined sisters were an inspiring pair, and it is amazing that they lived as long as they did. Many women died young back in those days for a variety of reasons . Whatever their story about the son, whether true or not; it is quite clear that they loved him . Anyone can see that by the loving looks between them.

Brilliantly researched, and wonderfully narrated as ever!

According to the movie “La Bamba”, Richie Valens apparently had recurring dreams about planes crashing and was petrified of flying.

Interesting stuff there! The Australian case was also covered in both local and National papers, the latter covering it as "a bit of a joke" type of article, since in those days mental health issues were not really mentioned amongst "polite company".

All your videos are so professionally done. They are also extremely interesting and incredibly addictive !

I honestly feel really sorry for Neil G. Wilson. He was obviously ill but he doesn't seem to have hurt anyone, and he seems to have worked hard to get at his dream of being a fish of all things. I hope the man can rest in peace. Thanks for the stories, mister CW.

Great content

Very well done as always. You may not hammer out content like other channels, but when you do upload something it's always a great pleasure to watch. Thank for uploading this one. Again, very well made video.

I live in Southampton England, we have many Titanic memorials.

Poor Fishman. He didn't deserve the Darwin award, he deserved support and care.

The guy who wanted to become a fish reminds me of an old movie called " The Incredible Mr. Limpet"...

Honestly, I am looking forward to (if it’s happening) Dark Tales from the Thames Part II. I’m from 🇨🇦and have been to London and I find myself having some type of attraction to that historical city and that river. 👍great channel bro.

" fact is mr Wilson had always wanted to be a fish " didn't see that coming

You gotta do another video in this series, the stories you do are incredibly interesting!

Your videos are always well worth waiting for as they never disappoint, so, 👍 for this one. 🐨🇦🇺

Keep the video’s coming my friend they make fantastic listening with clear concise narration and I know I have mentioned it before but maybe do a video on the bluebell hill hauntings In Chatham, Kent as there are many theories and numerous sightings over the last fifty years

Thank you much...for the time and effort you put into these.

Excellent work as always. Thanks for uploading.

I love these stories and the variety of VIDS. Thank you great stories.

Yay! Thank you for another excellent production. Worth the wait.

Binge watching these vids. So interesting and well told. Many thanks. Wolf.

Great video; Titanic has been close to my heart for many years, and for many reasons, just one being I'm Irish and lived in Belfast, but I have many connections to it...so the story of lifeboat A is astounding and still so mysterious so great to see more information on it! Good job :)

your videos are exquisite. very interesting, beautifully done.

Another quality video! I don't know how idiotic content has millions of viewers and your quality offerings so few. I am a curious story junkie since childhood and you still somehow come up with stories I don't remember ever hearing about!

Fascinating. Thank you.

Ahhh great content and soothing accent narrative....subscribed!!!

Fascinating stories, as always.

Lovely thankyou!

-Great stories again loved them.

Great upload. Looking forward to the next one.

Neil Gordon is such a sad story, traumatic brain injury and the subsequent seizures that can result are so hard to deal with ( i had a good friend who experiences this) . I have to think this poor man had temporal lobe damage. I cant imagine what his family went through witht he added pressure of his fish man obsession.

Love love your videos, they're very educational.

Great video’s love every one of them 🐶

Yeah bro 👍 you’re back, great job man.

Fantastic video as always!

wonderful job as always!

Hello from Susie in St. Louis. Fascinating stories as per usual with excellent narration. Thank you CW !

Thank you.

Great to see another vid from you and it was very entertaining and delivered expertly as usual, thank you.

Another top video mate, keep it up!

That was truly fascinating!

I wonder if the band had to change their name to there already being a band named Utopia ? I am a longtime fan of Todd Rundgren why I ask this question .I at first thought it was the original band with Todd .Oh well great video anyway .I just got confused for a minute on which band it was .Never heard of these guys before .This crash reminds me a lot of the Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash .So sad we have lost so many artists this way .May they all RIP .

I love these podcasts, so well done and interesting. I enjoy your voice and the music you add. I can't wait for these to be introduced.

Fascinating stuff as always thanks

Thank you for the video CW ( 99fruitbat here ) Both you and DB at almost the same time ❤️ Heaven !

always a good day when you upload. and also thank you for the subtitle.

This was a good video! Please do another of this series.

Interesting tales, and enchanting background music.

Fascinating

Great upload, fascinating stories. 👍🌺✌️

Very interesting. I like the turn of the century era videos. Make more about late 1800's Victorian London like the Whitechapel Murders.

I'm always glad to hear your stories, and I do believe things can be predicted before happening. I don't believe that everyone tells the truth about having them though.

Can you please do some videos from Canada? We have all sorts of weirdness here from ghosts & aliens to serial killers. I’d love to hear you talk about my world, you’re so good at these. I just found you & I subbed right away, looking forward to binging this channel…I’m already well on my way! 😻✌️from Alberta 🇨🇦

Re Stuart Coleman: I thoroughly agree, Curious W doesn't upload alot but when he does im straight there! Its because you get honest, brilliantly researched & pleasant clear non dramatic narration Plus topics not covered by anyone else ( at least ive not heard them before but often heard other channels tell them AFTER C.W. has narrated them) Aha, but we know who was 1st! Well done again CW, i enjoy every video you bring us Im never disappointed My only grief? Wish you uploaded More often but as you have said before, you have other commitments & i understand that Im grateful to you for what you do upload, as i always say... Its quality over quantity Less is more So thank you most sincerely For this, good cheer & happiness to you & your family 🙋‍♀️🇬🇧

About the Brazilian pop band name, Mamonas Assassinas, the original meaning "Mamonas" is not "Breast", but the fruit of the plant called Ricinus communis. Also called Castor Beam or Castor Oil Plant. In Brazil it is called mamona. This bush grows in the wild in the suburb of the cities, and boys usually play war games firing and "killing" each other with the mamona fruit using a sling. It is very painful when someone is hit. It is a kind of low coast paintball game. And yes, it has a second subliminal meaning for manonas, that is a slang for a very big female brest. The main cause for the accident was the pilot do not follow the go around track after the missed approach. He turn left, insted of turn right. That put the plane flying low over high terrain. Very nice videos. Good job!

The Birkenhead Drill says that "Women and Children" were to be saved first. I should expect therefore. that if there were any males in the Lifeboats apart from Crewmen, that all the women and children had first been found a place in the Lifeboats. I suspect that many Third Class Passengers, including women and children did not have the opportunity to try and find a place in the Lifeboats. It feels a little wrong, therefore when Thomson Beattie was found a place in a Lifeboat wearing his Dinner Jacket.

"These guys were really popular, lets listen in as their bodies are pulled from the plane wreckage" is an interesting way to go

It is almost midnight here. Listening to your vids before bedtime is ideal 😌

I find it stranger that this guy lined his fish suit with carpet than him thinking he should be a fish.

So the sister got pregnant 🤔. What was the other sister doing while this was going on?

This was cool CW. Well done.

Poor man... he only wished to be a fish.

GREAT. SOUND GREAT. 🤪

Wow, seriously interesting! And I'm sorry to hear the fishman play was critiqued so severely, and only hope it can be dusted off & given new life as it deserves, once more.

These are curious tales, but mostly I find them very sad!

I wish there were hours of these

Wyrd...wyrd is good...TY *Curious World*

Great stuff.

Hi Curious World! Nice to see you again. One of the very few channels for which I have clicked the bell icon. Always enjoy the stories you bring us. In this collection, I find the story of the Fishman especially touching. What a character he was! Makes me a bit miffed with Darwin Awards, you would think they would do better research on their subjects. But maybe they did?? If so, that's really not nice. Stay safe & well, CW, see you next time!

We in here!!!!!

preminition is not impossible but highly unlikely, so yes you can be lucky/unlucky enougth to expirence it

Good stories. Good research. I had never heard of most of them. Are you going to do another unearthed dead video?

Hey there algorithm. Here's a great video from a great channel for you to promote.

Thank you for pronouncing my last name correctly!

Another great listen (*_*)

Missed you ❤

Thanks for the upload!

I think the Fishman story was also featured on 1000 Ways to Die, nice to see some more background here though👍🏽

I am not part of "cancle culture". I actually think the Darwin Awards can be lessons for us to learn from. (Look up the Michael Sexson story) But, it does bother me that a man who had suffered brain damage was the winner of a darwin award. Death from seeming stupidity, and death from uncontrollable mental/physical issues is not the same thing. Micheal Sexson took little provisions into a harsh terrain, was rescued, and then went back without any survival gear for a second time. Sadly, he didn't come out alive. This is a cautionary tale to learn from. Neil should not be a Darwin award winner. The man died of a medical emergency. That is not a cautionary tale. It could happen to anyone. Should he have been taking his meds, yes. But, it sounds like he was not totally stable mentally. They took his eccentricities and made them a joke. Its sad on so many levels. I would like to see him removed from the list. Darwin Awards should be for people who should have known better. Not people like Neil.

❤❤❤❤❤❤

if i was going on a plane anywhere i would think i hope it doesnt crash and i would worry a bit

❤👏👏

So cruel to mock the Fish Man.

X-files' vallence's fate' was decided, by the toss' of a coin. They cast lots' (coins) and the lots' fell towards jona.

I remember hearing about fishman on 1000 ways to die huh maybe I was wrong about it all being made up.

People can have feelings that can't be explained,I believe that impending Doom can send vibes back in time before the doom actually happens, possibly history may be repeating itself, reincarnated people may remember things that have already happened in a prior life,may be recalled before they happen again

Strange days is a movie and it is good

We all love the spooky guitar music, but for "Collapsible A," we might have forgiven you for using a few bars of Celine Dion, given the background to the story.

Thanks. All dreams are premonitions and need to be taken seriously.

Speaking of “curious tails”, have you guys ever heard of the Kitsuneh? Most “curious tale” EVER!

That casual n-word in the Titanic letter really jumps out at ya 😳

I despise those Titanic vultures; Henry Aldridge & Son. Sickening.

Love your stories. I have a question. If it’s not too delicate to ask. In the Siamese twins case how could one have survived 13 months longer than the other ? How would that even work ? Very confusing. X

O C E A N M A N

14:59 That sounds like more than just epilepsy.

loved the video. when you brought up the the plane crash and the horrible history music bands have with, it made me think. maybe you can talk about the allman brothers in another video in the futre. both die at the same turn in New York city. And if i remember correctly, exactly 1 year apart.

Neil Gordon Wilson was ahead of his time with wanting to identify as a fish!
