I don't understand how vampires managed to keep their existence hidden for so long when they just carelessly leave 200 empty bags of blood in a random hospital bathroom.
Having just passed my real estate license exam, I can confirm that it IS, in fact, the responsibility of the realtor to disclose the stigma around a property (in some states)
Truly the curse of Jarvis’ running streams is how much context it would take. The number of times a day I want to use “so you see” or “we made it up” is ridiculous, yet no one would get it.
Omg as a physician, an OBGYN, this was so upsetting. I cannot stop screaming. The way he blindly reached in like omg what is that? Why isn't she intubated? Where is the anesthesiologist? Why is he holding a 10 blade scalpel like a pencil? Did the nurse dab his head then touch the sterile field? Swallowing a fertilized octopus egg & growing is akin to growing a watermelon from swallowing a seed
The brother that wanted it to be real wasn't the one that replaced it, it was the other brother. He went behind the artist one's back after the near death experience.
The story about the old man that is REALLY good at ring-toss is so funny to me, I have met way too many old people who are strangely good at a random carnival game or have the most inane skill. My Parkinson's riddled uncle grandpa that can still do a bunch of sick coin tricks is a testament to that!
@@casteanpreswyn7528 Is that not what someone's grandpa's brother is called? I'm not very good with familial terms (especially in english) but I thought that was correct...
They sound like they're French but have lived in north America for a long time and therefore occasionally slip into a slightly more Americanized enunciation occasionally
why is this one so... well... horrific? Like, normally Fact or Fiction is just... "wOoOoOoO there was a gHOST!" but this one is downright sheer horror. Just... a very different vibe to what I'm used to from these videos.
Yeah, I started the video expecting somewhat goofy ghost stories, not... this. I couldn't even watch the hospital scene. Just the sound effects made me sick to my stomach.
i don’t know what’s wrong with me but i wasn’t freaked out- like the concept of a live octopus living inside my body doesn’t really freak me out for some reason- when they first pulled it out i thought it was a giant spider and i was spooked, mostly because i didn’t think spiders could be that big, but once i realized it was an octopus i was… relieved? i don’t want to sound like one of those kids under scary videos that are like “haha i’m nine and i wasn’t scared everyone who was scared is a big baby” but like i genuinely don’t know why the concept doesn’t freak me out? please help
Yeah. If the last person who owned the house developed a terminal illness or something, I don't think disclosing that to a new buyer would be necessary. Unless the last 6 people all developed an illness that could be related to their enviornment or died from falling through rotted flooring, it's not relevant to the house's quality.
@@stacyh7528 Yeah, if the neighbour knew about it and believed in it and saw all the bad things happening to them, that's far more of a dick move than someone who didn't believe in it not telling them.
She's only guilty of being dumb enough talk on a landline phone that's plugged into the wall while in a bathtub. The falsely accused curse is innocent lol
that's what i'm saying!!! how is she the bad guy? she didn't believe in the curse so why would she disclose it? she even moved into the manor. like please
My bf just cajoled me into watching next gen with him recently (don’t worry - I’m loving it) and to hear Riker do a sales pitch for pregnancy tests was an out of body experience. 💀 It’s even better that it looks like he had fun with this gig. I’m DYING from the super cut of him asking question omg.
Next gen is my favorite of the Star Trek series. Your bf has got good tastes. I'm glad you're enjoying it, it only gets better. Once you finish with it, you should watch The Orville. Seth MacFarlane's version of Star Trek is surprisingly good.
There's several versions of the octopus thing that I believe date all the way back to the early 1800's. They definitely changed how the story is normally told but that would have dramatically changed the rating.
@@dottyContrarian yes, if memory serves it’s usually a fisherman’s wife and an octopus impregnates her through traditional means while he’s away working.
All I remember about the Helmsleys is that Leona Helmsley died while I was in college (the 00s) and left ~$10 million to her dog in a trust fund. It was all over the news because she left her dog more money than she left any of her kids or grandkids. I think she left a couple of her grandkids out of her will entirely. She left a lot more money to other charities, to some of her staff, a ton of money for the upkeep of her mausoleum, etc. She was definitely _rich_ rich.
What is a dog going to do with that much money? Honestly. Like it cant go shopping? It doesn't even know what money is. Was it like for someone to take care of him with in his own home? Like the person couldnt live there they just had to go check on him? But that's so depressing for the dog hed get so lonely I'm confused
@@HartleiStansbury7 tbh, it sounds like she probably didn’t like most of her family and wrote her will that way just to be petty. you can afford to do that when you’re rich enough
The fourth story really reminds me how Fact or Fiction came out at the absolute perfect time, because ten years later and most of this stuff if easily disprovable with even the most miniscule amount of Googling. You'd have to be in the tail end of the 90s for anyone to think "yeah, this incredibly supernatural event might have just happened to a nurse on the east coast in the 70s, supernatural shit happens other places all the time."
When I was a kid my school had the fire department come out and do talks about being safe around electricity and fire every year. For most of my life I’ve been *terrified* to talk on a landline phone or take a bath/shower during a thunderstorm because those firemen said we could get electrocuted and die if lightning struck our house while doing either of those things. Phones aren’t an issue anymore but I’m still nervous about showering when it’s raining.
I get anxious about showering in a storm too! My mom always warned me about it. I tried doing some research on it recently but I don't remember finding anything concrete
Wait i thought like the thing with electricity had to actually touch the body of water for that to happen. Like they say don't drop a blow dryer in the tub
@@HartleiStansbury7 I have no actual evidence haha, but I think it's similar to what happened in the show. Lightening strikes the house and travels through anything conductive such as metal phone wires and lead pipes. This was probably a lot more of a possibility before grounding electrical lines became a building code. The house we got was built in 1962 and none of it had grounding as well as iron pipes when we moved in. I remember taking my first shower during a storm here and wondering if I should be worried! So far so good though?
The human immune system functions by looking out for cells with foreign proteins then mounting an attack if it finds any. I find it very hard to believe that a fertilized egg of any non-human animal could survive in the human body unless the person is taking some sort of immunosuppressant. Even then I would still be very suspicious.
Also, octopus eggs don’t just float individually in the ocean. The mother octopus lays them in kind of chains on the roof of a small cave. She doesn’t eat and spends the rest of her life cleaning the eggs and protecting them from predators. She usually dies around the time the eggs hatch. Octopus eggs can’t survive without their mother’s care and can’t survive outside of salt water. Even if you wanted to eat one, you’d have to dive down to an octopus cave and fight with the mom octopus to grab an egg from the cave like you’re on a side quest. And the delicate egg probably wouldn’t survive all that. It’s just a ridiculous premise on so many levels.
if she swallows it, she would've digested that egg as well. it'd be impossible for it to stay alive in her body for that long since it'd probably be fully digested before any symptoms showed up.
The immune system attacks human cells too sometimes. When an egg is fertilized, the immune system can start attacking it for the first few weeks of pregnancy
Frakes claiming vampires to be real was not on my bingo card, honestly. Also, very proud of myself for saying, "Ring toss..." at the exact same time as Jarvis. :')
There was actually a food court Chinese place when I was younger that knew my family so well that I think they asked after me and my health when I was at college. We went there every time we were at the mall for years, and I loved their egg drop soup and hot and sour soup so much that my parents would go to the mall just to bring it to me when I was sick (I'm chronically ill and when I was in middle and high school I would get sick a LOT, even once my health was well enough for me to get off of full-time med leave). The hot and sour was fantastic for my sinuses and their egg drop soup especially became one of my comfort foods, as well as being a soothing follow up. They started giving my parents extra crunchy noodles (maybe even soup; I don't remember for sure) because they knew I really liked them. Only restaurant I've been to where the "we were there for you in bad times" message getting thrown around during lockdown actually rang true to me, but unfortunately by that time I think they'd already gone out of business, both their food court place and the restaurant they opened later, which had become our go-to place for dining out.
Actually a transformer got hit by my house and spilt a tree then also hit my house. However! We have fiber to the home and no phone line so no cable or phone line that travels down the home, everything comes up. My neighbor got a video of my home having a smoke a lightning like effect going across my roof.
It feels that if the last story were earlier than it could’ve gone either way. But having it as the last story usually makes it a little more clear since the show likes to balance the number of true and false stories. Fun episode though.
The octopus story is my second favorite beyond belief story. Even though it’s boring, my most favorite one is the magic prescription because I’m a pharmacist 😭😆
the first story reminds me of how my boyfriend made me watch Eraserhead with him recently because of our "pregnancy scare", which was based off of nothing but his primal fear of conception despite all the measures that made that pregnancy 100% impossible. The fear of conception should be considered a genre at this point, because of media like this, eraserhead, and bloodborne.
the octopus story reminds me of an absolutely batsh!t book i read at summer camp called air/have not have, where the protagonist accidentally swallowed one of her own eggs and some sp/rm from her partner and grew a whole baby in her stomach. at the end she birthed it by vomiting it up. it was badly burned by the stomach acid but still alive. the story was about like, wireless brain internet called "air", and the baby had it and talked to her in fluent english using it at the end 💀
also i think she psychically communicated with a dog at one point idk i read it years ago but the stomach baby part really stood out. along with the sheer absurdity of that book being in the library of a childrens summer camp
i was wondering why this episode seemed familiar, and then i remembered i binged most of season 3 months ago thinking u would somehow never get to it lmaooo luckily i don't remember if they're fact or fiction so i can still play live next time :)
I watched this show when it originally came out, and then i watched reruns, and then i watched a lot of episodes again with my husband, and now i watch it here, and every time i rewatch, i can't remember if it's fact or fiction. i only remember what i guessed last time.
I like how the doctor in the first story (Dr. Sapperstein) has a really similar name to the AI-pretending-to-be-a-normal-human in Fallout 76, Homer Saperstein What im saying is im pretty sure that doctor is a robot
16:30 He said the medical community did not say she gave birth to an octopus, just that one was surgically removed from her, which really didn't need to be said because clear she wasn't giving birth to it XD.
What gets me about the last story is, how would they know the old man looked like the doll? Who told them? The employees that they just accused of murdering Big Ralph? Other people saw the old man, but no one else would have made that connection to the doll.
Omg it's the episode that tramatized me as a child! I didn't even remember the WHOLE episode being fucked up but I definitely thought about that carnival story eberytime I went to one, amd that vampire story stayed in the back of my mind lmao. We must have caught the episode late cuz that octopus story would have damaged me good lmao
as someone with endometriosis, it was plausible that Marisa could have had that (with the sickness, pain, bloating, muscle spasms that few like contradictions)
I love how like a lot of streamers and youtubers, by the time they hit like a million subs kind of feel like a character but Jarvis still just feels like your stoned buddy hanging out and I mean that as a compliment.
Balsa wood is pretty thin and light, usually about as thick as a popsicle stick maybe a little thicker, So yeah it would probably hurt to have it fall on your head but it’s thin enough that it would break pretty easily and wouldn’t do much damage.
when they mentioned the wax museum i was so confused when they said "he" because i immediately knew this has to be about madame tussaud. she started the museum by making wax molds based on the beheaded people such as marie antoinette. (commenting before the story starts just in case)
Let's be honest, the carnival games would definitely get more traffic if they were ever so slightly easier such that one skilled person could win consistently but the average person has no chance so that a skilled person can get a win streak and attract a crowd. You'd need to restock the stuffies way more often, but it's not like the prizes aren't cheaper than the cost to play.
My fiancé pointed out that if you watch the “Jonathan Frakes asks you things” video slowed down, it sounds like a drunk person talking to you at the bar
The first story is literally what a child thinks anatomy is. How the fuck did her swallowing a fertilised octopus egg make her pregananant?? That totally ignoring that fact that she would’ve gave birth to an octopus, but I just, **hmmmmmmm**
I fully thought they were gonna be like "An octopus must have crawled up there" but then again there's no chance they would do that on TV in the late 90s
The vampire story feels like an x files episode, especially with the nurse at the end rationalizing it into something realistic, just like Scully would.
Ok I just realized that if the octopus was growing in her stomach and not her uterus she would still have her period, refuting the idea of her being pregnant. This is such a big plothole why did everyone miss it.
every time jarvis gets a new guest to do fact or fiction with him he has to also show them "johnathan frakes asks you questions" and i just love that
Jarvis explaining fact or fiction lore is the best
It's a segment

Interesting. Since all the stories in this show are at least 25 years old, I wonder if that was the case at the time.

The fear of conception should be considered a genre at this point, because of media like this, eraserhead, and bloodborne.
I love that people were so shocked that there was a season 3 when there literally are 5 seasons 😭😭
the vampire one was genuinely scary i felt like the patient could appear at any moment
I was TERRIFIED of her opening that bathroom door, especially after they mentioned the blood going missing.
jarvis and chat making fun of actual frenchmen's french accents is insane .. kinda funny
They've done the same with an actual Russian guy, so 😂
the octopus story reminds me of an absolutely batsh!t book i read at summer camp called air/have not have, where the protagonist accidentally swallowed one of her own eggs and some sp/rm from her partner and grew a whole baby in her stomach. at the end she birthed it by vomiting it up. it was badly burned by the stomach acid but still alive. the story was about like, wireless brain internet called "air", and the baby had it and talked to her in fluent english using it at the end 💀
also i think she psychically communicated with a dog at one point idk i read it years ago but the stomach baby part really stood out. along with the sheer absurdity of that book being in the library of a childrens summer camp
I've explored the depths of ao3 abd that's the wildest description of a story I've ever seen
Sorry but what
I’m clocking into work rn, I’m excited to watch it on my break
Watch it on the clock if you can get away with it.
I'm honestly so glad the first story was fiction, bc I was gonna be pissed that they didn't let her keep the octopus afterwards
i was wondering why this episode seemed familiar, and then i remembered i binged most of season 3 months ago thinking u would somehow never get to it lmaooo
luckily i don't remember if they're fact or fiction so i can still play live next time :)
I watched this show when it originally came out, and then i watched reruns, and then i watched a lot of episodes again with my husband, and now i watch it here, and every time i rewatch, i can't remember if it's fact or fiction. i only remember what i guessed last time.
The 1990s had its own style of villifying women whose ambitions were outside of the traditional roles.
wait which story did that? I’ve only seen the first two
@@SM-yz4hi none of them
Real estate, I'm guessing.
I yelped at the octopus reveal & then I laughed for like 20 minutes. I needed that good giggle. Thank you, Beyond Belief.
WHY DID THEY CHANGE THE INTRO IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST PARTS...RIP INCOHERENT INTRO SEQUENCE
Oh my gosh, I feel like gestating an octopus would be one of the better possible outcomes. Ngl, it's kinda cute! 🐙✨
I literally remember people spreading the story of the first one when I was a kid growing up by the ocean.
I like how the doctor in the first story (Dr. Sapperstein) has a really similar name to the AI-pretending-to-be-a-normal-human in Fallout 76, Homer Saperstein
What im saying is im pretty sure that doctor is a robot
dr sapperstein from parks and rec???
Jarvis is always visibly excited when he shows Fact or Fiction to someone new.
johnathan frakes is very good at asking such intriguing questions such as "Have you ever had the desire to write your initials in wet sand?"
16:30 He said the medical community did not say she gave birth to an octopus, just that one was surgically removed from her, which really didn't need to be said because clear she wasn't giving birth to it XD.
What gets me about the last story is, how would they know the old man looked like the doll? Who told them? The employees that they just accused of murdering Big Ralph? Other people saw the old man, but no one else would have made that connection to the doll.
Omg it's the episode that tramatized me as a child! I didn't even remember the WHOLE episode being fucked up but I definitely thought about that carnival story eberytime I went to one, amd that vampire story stayed in the back of my mind lmao. We must have caught the episode late cuz that octopus story would have damaged me good lmao
‘Fact or fiction’ feels like the adultified version of ‘Goosebumps’
I dunno how to explain it but I hope someone gets it LMAOO 😭😭
Adultified Are You Afraid of the Dark for me but same vibe.
My favorite tells you things is “the Guillotine has been out of fashion for a while”
I can't believe Square Enix stole this show's theme music for Hollow Bastion
I just started rewatching Mythbusters, and they covered this a few years after this aired in their first season.
as someone with endometriosis, it was plausible that Marisa could have had that (with the sickness, pain, bloating, muscle spasms that few like contradictions)
- ghost baby
- stanley ritter, the previous owner
I love how like a lot of streamers and youtubers, by the time they hit like a million subs kind of feel like a character but Jarvis still just feels like your stoned buddy hanging out and I mean that as a compliment.
i have been fuckkking dying for more of this content, love u jarvis ❤
Hope to see more fact or fiction soon! Love these vids so much
chat shipping the two guys when it was literally stated they were BROTHERS 🤨
Balsa wood is pretty thin and light, usually about as thick as a popsicle stick maybe a little thicker, So yeah it would probably hurt to have it fall on your head but it’s thin enough that it would break pretty easily and wouldn’t do much damage.
when they mentioned the wax museum i was so confused when they said "he" because i immediately knew this has to be about madame tussaud. she started the museum by making wax molds based on the beheaded people such as marie antoinette. (commenting before the story starts just in case)
The compilations of his intros crack me up XD
I was hoping for an Airplane quote to make it's way in there..."Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"
I've been watching these vods way too much, and I know this because I had a dream about Jonathan Frakes.
Let's be honest, the carnival games would definitely get more traffic if they were ever so slightly easier such that one skilled person could win consistently but the average person has no chance so that a skilled person can get a win streak and attract a crowd. You'd need to restock the stuffies way more often, but it's not like the prizes aren't cheaper than the cost to play.
Jarvis you always make me giggle like a little school girl
REAL
Jarvis and a friend watching Beyond Belief can turn an entire day around and make it better
My fiancé pointed out that if you watch the “Jonathan Frakes asks you things” video slowed down, it sounds like a drunk person talking to you at the bar
Bro when i READ 'blood bank' and heard 'no solid food' and 'he got better' i was like "bruhv that's 100% a vampire"
I mean I know if the past owner died in the house you should tell the owner, but show me the rule were you gotta tell about a curse!
"Milk only comes in a carton" Lmfao in Canada we got bags, cartons, and jugs!
Lmao the first beyond belief where Jarvis cant react to "where substance is disguised as illusion"
The first story is literally what a child thinks anatomy is. How the fuck did her swallowing a fertilised octopus egg make her pregananant?? That totally ignoring that fact that she would’ve gave birth to an octopus, but I just, **hmmmmmmm**
As a doctor named Saperstein, shouldn't the doctor in the first story be played by Henry Winkler?
THANK YOU I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS FHSJISOA
i was so mad nobody in the chat mentioned that the haunted mansion story is literally the plot of american horror story murder house to a T
I fully thought they were gonna be like "An octopus must have crawled up there" but then again there's no chance they would do that on TV in the late 90s
Grocery shopping with Jarvis Johnson
Let's charge this weird guy for a medical test he doesn't need so I can be nosy.
YES
ive been watching FoF all day and now another one just dropped lets go
The vampire story feels like an x files episode, especially with the nurse at the end rationalizing it into something realistic, just like Scully would.
Ok I just realized that if the octopus was growing in her stomach and not her uterus she would still have her period, refuting the idea of her being pregnant. This is such a big plothole why did everyone miss it.
