@@user-pj1nj5qn4n are you speaking of the Austrian(German?) family? If so yeah that was badddd. Kidnapped by your own Dad and kept in a windowless room for a decade. Being s/a’d over and over and over and made to bear your fathers children and give birth with no medical help. One of the babies died as a result but the interesting thing about that was Fritzel actually showed some humanity at the end by giving himself up so he could save his Granddaughter. There’s an important lesson to be learned by that: even the most evil among us are capable of good, and even the very “best” of us are capable of evil.

What's sad to me about Pompeii is that, even if you tried to escape by boat, you still woudn't have made it. If you're not killed by the huge tsunami wave, your boat was sunk by one of the flying rocks. Those people really stood NO chance. Even worse still, they thought they did something to anger the gods. Their last thoughts were probably "What did we do to anger them?"

2:24 I remember the Nutty Putty cave tragedy. It was terrifying to me when I was 8 years old, and it still terrifies me to this day. I'm not claustrophobic, but the idea of being physically wedged upside down in a hole for over a full day, knowing that you were dying and unable to even move, is maybe the worst thing I can imagine. If I was in that situation, I'd tell them to toss a grenade my way and let it be over with.

Also something to note about Roebspierre’s death. He had a chronic autoimmune disease known as sarcoidosis. It causes pockets of inflammation called granulomas to appear all over the body. If untreated, it can wreak havoc on almost every organ, and by the time Robespierre was to be executed, his liver and kidneys were already in complete failure, and his lungs were filled with inflammation. On top of the jaw, it must have been excruciating. It’s also hypothesized that his mental breakdown was due to sarcoidosis.

You forgot to mention Scotland whilst discussing the black death, In Edinburgh there is a popular tourist attraction known as Mary King's close, which is almost like a window into the past. It's an underground street, which wasnt always underground. A popular myth is that plague victims were sealed inside the close and it was built over with the people still inside, though that has been proven to be untrue. Plague victims inside the close were actually given food and water, in any case it's an extremely intresting place to visit and gives you a window in the past during the black death.

The last surviving member of the Howard Carter expedition, Richard Adamson, didn't believe that there was any curse of Tutankhamen. I read an interview conducted by ARAMCO magazine (that is available online) He was the chief guard of the expedition and a British Army veteran of World War I. He spent seven years guarding the tomb and went to sleep inside of it, right next to the coffin in the later days of the expedition once they'd cleared the rest of the tomb. ARAMCO paid for him to visit Egypt and the tomb for the magazine article in 1981. Since handicapped facilities didn't exist in Egypt at the time, porters carried him and his wheelchair onto boats, up and down stairs, and even into the tomb itself.

The Hinterkaifeck- case was most definitely NOT the work of a deranged individual, but a group of organised people! It's not like someone stealthily killed one after the other or somehow managed to defeat them all and let none escape. No. They were rounded up, tied down and summarily executed. The police was stereotypical in their incompetence and the timing of the event could have been significant. (Germany loosing WWI and different groups fighting each other and planning to overthrow the government) BTW: the location was an Einödhof. This means that it was a farm in the middle of nowhere. It's name Hinterkaifeck is so archaic that no modern German would understand it.

few events that are creepy Siege of Suiyang:Forces of Yan try to capture city from Tang. Tang force of around 10k suffer near annihilation while Yan forces also suffer great casualties despite outnumbering Tang 15 to 1. But it's not military casualties that make this battle horrific,it's the fact that up to 30k civilians has been eaten alive during the siege. Battle of Changping,that that there was 1 million men present in the battle,not that 750 thousand of them died,but on losing side,the state of Zhao,most of man that survived the battle were buried alive after the battle. There was so many mass graves that they're being discovered regularly today

Princess Natasha, yes, trying to escape Pompeii during the infamous AD 69 eruption by boat was particularly futile. Because it had no rover and was not near the sea. The famous seaside skeletons of victims of the pyroclastic flow from Pompeii were actually in clif caves of Herculaneum.

The thing about pets being killed at the start of wwii in the uk was not the committees’s actual plan. The leaflet was supposed to be letting the owners to be prepared to do this if the war looked it was going to last any length and if rationing came into place (note that the leaflet was published 1939), and gave info in how to do it if/when needed. Except people took it as advice to do it now and 750,000 pets were killed in the following week

There is a horror story based on soviet russia “psychologists,” even if not specifically Nikolay Krasnogorsky. It’s a creepypasta called the Russian Sleep Experiment. And frankly, it’s terrifying because it seems somewhat believable. The human mind is fragile and capable of disturbing breakdowns (as seen in the case of serial killers). Of course, we wouldn’t know and hopefully never will know if the “experiment results” are accurate to what would happen in real life. To conduct a similar experiment would be a crime against humanity, no? However, consider how you act and feel when you pull an all nighter. Now imagine being a prisoner of war in a lab at the same time, not knowing what those “scientists” are doing. Severe stress, possible trauma due to being on the battlefield, and lack of sleep? For seven straight days? *You. Would. Break.* Anyways, yeah, there’s plenty of horror film potential for Soviet Russian human experiments.

I wasn't aware of this till about a year or so ago, but apparently my grandfather was involved in handling the deceased from Jonestown when they came to the Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. I don't know too much about it, but I can't imagine what he must have felt. My grandfather and I may not have had a good relationship, but that's something I certainly can give him credit for.

The worst part about the Hinterkaifeck murders is that they will literally NEVER be solved. This is due to the fact that the investigation was extremely botched, with many people entering and exiting the house and tampering with the crime scene, and destroying any possible evidence that was there. This frustrates me to no end, knowing that this mystery will never be solved ever. And it was all due to negligence and a lack of care…

For one of my college courses, we each had to choose two active cults to report on. I chose Bahai and Jonestown. In Jonestown, the mass suicide was achieved by lacing KoolAid with poison. The bodies were three people deep. "Don't drink the KoolAid" is a reference to that fateful event.

You need to look into the great famine of 1315-`1322; it probably caused the black death of 1340 (at least indirectly). During those years, the growing season in Europe (due to The Little Ice Age (900 AD-1850 AD)) was only two months. See Prof. Brian Fagin at UCSB's research/books for more details about this.

My father was stationed in Vietnam in 1970. He found a dog to keep as a pet in the barracks, but that same rule about "Animal Owners" (11:30) applied and he was ordered to shoot it, much to his own reluctance and sheer disgust. I'm sure he was a much different human being before that happened. At least someone who would have loved to have a dog, even when he and my mother got together and started a family. God Rest Dad. And God Rest that poor dog.
