This channel is such a relief, no pointless intro, goofy ‘scary music’, or annoying sound effects. Definitely my go to for horror content Edit: yes I am aware there IS background music, however it isn’t overpowering or one of those clichè pieces that you hear on other channels. Where they seem to rotate the same three or four instrumentals for every other story.
Thats cool but Lazy Masquerade has a nice creepy intro that i dont want him to take away. Also some just use sponsors since it free content for you. Maybe he will also use that in the future.
I think when it comes to the MythBusters footage, I remember one of the crew that worked on that episode posting about it on twitter or Facebook, saying something along the lines of "The material itself doesn't pose a threat, at least not in the way most people would encounter it. You have to go out of your way to make it explosive. But the process is so easy and the potential for damage and destruction so high that it would just be irresponsible for that footage to see the light of day. "
There is no way that Mythbusters waants the responsibility for outlining the steps and making it accessible to normal people. Even Breaking Bad had deliberate errors and missing steps in the process for making you-know-what, because the DEA quite rightly didn't want people to learn how to do it just by watching the show.
In the 90's, Robert Stack came to the apartment complex where I lived. They did an episode on a woman who went missing from our building. It's Season 5, Episode 28 and her name was Y "DeDe" Rosenthal. In the end, it ended up a maintenance man who worked at our building had kidnapped and killed her. This is the same man who always held the door for me and was always respectful. I had a 2 bedroom and a male roommate, and I'm kinda glad looking back! He entered her apartment when she was sleeping and before this happened, I sometimes would sleep out on my balcony!! Scary
It just happened in Mexico. 26 years ago they aired an episode of the show Mujer Casos de La Vida Real where they found the tortured body of a little kid in a big trash bin. They showed a picture of the child. Someone watched the episode and recognized him, identified the mom and stepfather, but they ran away. They aired a 2nd part for the episode with this new information and showed their faces. Nothing happened for a long time but now, 26 years later, on January 2025 they were caught.
The last one is unfortunately just gone. At that time it would’ve been shot on nitrocellulose film, which even when stored under ideal conditions doesn’t age well. It deteriorates rapidly and is extremely flammable. Entire film vaults have been lost due to nitrocellulose film stock going off. So it’s very unlikely that we’ll ever find a copy at this point
The 2000s had a mysterious vibe, with the rise of the internet, social media, and global uncertainties. It was a time of digital wonder and confusion, where the internet created new possibilities, but also left people unsure of what was real and what wasn’t.
Right? Like anytime there's a story regarding media (whether it be TV or Internet) from the 2000's, it's almost always guaranteed to be good. There were almost no boundaries or expectations on what would be released online back then, leaving the door open for anything and everything to carve out its place in the digital world, which is how we've ended up with so many strange findings to be discussed and explored in the 2010's and onward.
Honestly whenever I see stuff from the early 2000s it has a liminal vibe for me. Maybe its because it was shortly before I was born. But the notion you bring up also adds to it. I guess it also just shows how much things have changed since then.
We're entering that era of leaving people unsure about what is real and what isn't with AI advancing but AI is indistinguishable from reality, so it's far more dangerous.
That's a good possibility, but there are also plenty of segments from UM that aren't in the UA-cam uploads... mostly cases where all parties involved have passed on and the case is effectively closed for that reason, or ones where they really slanted their coverage toward accusing someone who has seen been exonerated. There are also some missing for other reasons, I remember a case about a guy with a very unusual name (the reason I remembered the case) who attacked a girl with a hammer that was removed from the episode and I'm still not sure why
Could it have been fbi files. I'm not American, so I don't know how different those shows are. But it's also on the TV guide on the day unsolved mysteries was?
The Jay Leno one was part of a skit. Woman is about to pretend to be cut in half but then exclaims that 'She's been cut' (well if you're going to be cut in half you would be!) - the situation and stunt looks like it's gone wrong then the stage blacks out and it cuts to commercials - only for the show to resume normally
That’s the only thing that makes sense. The guy in the 2001 post even mentions the episode is a repeat. So if it a woman really was injured during the taping of an episode, NBC would have been dumb to not edit it on on just the initial airing, but at for at least one repeat as well.
It sounds like an old Conan skit. (Not a particular one but the type of humor) Which since Jay was on the same network and his popularity was starting to wain by 2000 or 2001 whatever it was and Conan's was rising.. maybe his writers tried to do similar humor?
Yeah it's silly that anyone believes this was more than the obvious. It doesn't air live, so they would have scrapped it. But it is recorded in front of a live audience, so they would have all seen it happen. There's just no way a woman was actually cut and no one ever said anything about it.
How would she even be cut for real? I would think the manufacturers design those boxes to eliminate any chance of actually injuring someone. I would imagine the only way for someone in that magic set to be lacerated for real would be if the magician was using a very poorly made box or went out of their way to lacerate the person in the box.
I don't think the Mythbusters mystery explosive would be tannerite, because why would they have to report that to DARPA? Like "hey, did you know this material most commonly used and sold commercially as an explosive is actually explosive?" 😭
My best guess is Ammonium Nitrate, it's a kind of fertilizer which caused the Beirut explosion a few years back Edit: It couldn't have been ammonium nitrate since they used that in season 3 episode 13 where they blew up a concrete truck
It is aerosoled sugar. In a town I lived in there was a sugar processing plant where NOTHING within 10 miles could be built because if an explosion did occur, everything within that 10 miles would be destroyed, dead, dying, or severely injured. But then again since the 10 mile perimeter was put in place everyone (in authority) knows this. edit: But this was in 2015, so AFTER the episode aired, so probably aerosoled sugar.
"Mythbusters was an entertainment show and it would have been highly irresponsible for them to give instructions on how to make a dangerous explosive. So what was the material that they could have been talking about?" *_lists ingredients to make dangerous explosives_*
everyone knows acetone explodes. tannerite is literally explosive and you don’t need a license. just go to a bass pro in texas or literally anywhere in the south
Right? Its the first time i hear about these ingredients, and I wouldn't have search through reddit to find about them. Now the only thing I lack is motivation😊
For the car to be found abandoned and scrubbed of fingerprints, yet she was labeled as a "missing person" is absurd. Something like that only happens because of sheer incompetence and/or corruption within the law enforcement...
So they found her car with a broken window and wiped of finger prints and they still treated it as a missing persons case? the hell were those cops doing?
@@Kylesanchezz185Nah, man, this is real. Ron could've paid off cops, and some might have been dirty, corrupt, or just downright racist and didn't care at all.

@@ShysterFraudstein They probably intentionally do not add timestamps because it allows viewers to more easily skip parts of the video and reduce watchtime. Just a typical audience exploit. I do not want to make assumptions but it is just so easy to add timestamps/chapters, any video that required an editing process would have already had so much time and effort put into it that it would not make sense for chapters to be left out due to laziness.
I love how you include your own perspective on the situations and mysteries, and try to piece together everything to come up with reasonable answers. I don't see a lot of other channels doing that.
Yeah, most other channels like this usually just goad or double down on the wildest theories of things, this guy is a lot more grounded, reasonable, and realistic with his perspectives and commentary.
In terms of Unsolved Mysteries not every segment is available for streaming. Yes I would estimate 99 percent or so are, but due to various issues (statute of limitations, lawsuits from those featured etc) there are definitely missing segments. I have 20 DVD's converted from old VHS tapes and it includes cases that are otherwise no longer available. I'm going to go down this rabbit hole and see what I can find out
On the "game in the sand" I have a possible theory (with no basis). Its possible to me that what really disturbed him is that whatever they did to the rooster made the kids cry. No matter how disturbing this guy's art is, some people just cannot handle seeing upset children, especially if he is a father. Also, who would want to immortalize real footage of that?
I got three theories myself. 1: He made it up to impress people and get his name spread as proposed in this video. 2: The parents didn't agree to some of what he did or possible injuries no matter how minor those injuries were. This could have resulted in a massive lawsuit if the footage was still around and able to be brought to court. 3: Something involving those children was illegal to produce (CSAM).
Its just so refreshing how this guy doesn't even go into a cringy intro and just jumps right into what the video is about. just tells how much he appreciates and respects his own fanbase.
Can you imagine I've actually seen someone complain about this in the past. I don't understand people. But yes he's got his formula down and does it well.
The issue with unsolved mysteries, it was in heavy syndication in 2000. The TV Guide listings don’t always show what actually aired. So a local affiliate may run unsolved mysteries while another show was listed, or, they list episode 7x14 when they end up airing episode 9x2.
Your theory for the first Unsolved Mysteries lost episode certainly makes a lot of sense. Another reason why that segment may be hard to find is that there are entire missing segments from the FilmRise Unsolved Mysteries library whether you view it on UA-cam, Prime Video, Tubi etc. An example I cite is the case of the 9th episode of Season 9, which originally featured the case of Jay Durham. This segment is not shown in the FIlmRise upload of the episode;however in this case Jay Durham is mentioned on the Unsolved Wiki page. It is entirely possible this segment was removed due to the wishes of family members or a legal situation.
There are plenty of shows that for some reason after they aired you can't find a certain episode again. The one that comes immediately to mind is the tv show Making Monsters. They had an episode where they made a prop for Alice Cooper & if you watch the series on...Discovery?...it's completely gone. I know there are other examples, I just can't think of them right now.
This is a good line of logic. Both John and Terry stated that oftentimes due to warrants expiring or statute of limitations policies, quite a number of the episodes cannot be released or rebroadcast. I think for the OP on Reddit, the smartest thing to do would be to: 1. Ask them if they remember who was hosting that episode in particular? Stack? Farina? Etc. That would rule out which series of seasons it was. Lifetime did have their own series of it, but also ran reruns, and if it was with Stack or Farina, then we know for sure it wasn't an original LT produced episode. Second, there are two collections of UM episode sets online. There's the FilmRise collection, and there's also a bootleg UM pack online that contains extensive recordings of the original home broadcasts from VCR recordings/caps. I think the latter would be a good place to start, as the episode in question may show up there.
@@munkustrap2 There's an episode of Kitchen Nightmares called Oceana. The restaurant owners were angry how they were portrayed on the show and sued Gordon Ramsey and the other producers twice.
Simple solution to story 1: she should go to the police. They can then check out the ex and determine if there is a possibility they committed a crime - they'll also be able to find the homicide without all this convoluted necessity of finding some random TV show. It just sounds like BS, regardless of how legitimate the person posting may seem.
@@ladycinder What is she going on that makes her think its her ex. He is a smooth talker ( So are a ton of people) and he looks like the sketch ( These look generic in a lot of cases).
I remember a Hoarders episode where the lady had thousands of VHS tapes of things that she recorded. Of course they were trying to get her to throw out her collection, but now I think she was ahead of her time. She probably had all the answers to these.
Are you talking about Marion Stokes? Web Archive uploaded a lot of her tapes, however I don't know if they still have them, because they had a lot of judicial battles in 2024 and had to temporarily shut down the site several times.
I got a collection of tapes from a guy who did similar- filled a 3 story house with tapes and moved nextdoor. sadly 99% of his recordings were easy to find trash lol but the commercials and stuff were fun
As far as the Mythbusters episode goes they usually took suggestion from viewers. Back in the day they either got them through e-mail or on their message board. While going through their e-mails would be illegal and a tedious task, going on the waybackmachine and trying to find the old message board might reveal some important hints as they discussed all kinds of stuff like this back then.
That first one is odd. She said she knew her ex was "driving through that area". So contacting law enforcement "in that area" and describing the crime shouldn't be very difficult. There were enough details there (smooth talking home invader etc) to at least point the police in the right direction.
“driving through that area around that time” so yeah she’s got the when, the where, a description of crime, a description of suspect… That should narrow it down sufficiently, the missing episode is kind of irrelevant.
So my personal theory of the mystery chemical could be either sawdust or regular house dust. I remember hearing a really old myth about when modern vacuums were coming out is that it's possible for the dust could ignite and in an enclosed space it could explode. Dust can be super explosive in enclosed spaces.
Sawdust is used in some tnt as an absorbent. And fine dry dust in many forms (corn, flour etc) is not news that is combustible. My guess it could be soap, or something containing hydrogen.
I think it must be something like that. imo it's more likely that they didn't air the episode because it would have been so easy for people to replicate if they knew they could do it, rather than the potency of the explosive necessarily.
@@Bruh1I've found it after a lot of searching. At least, the one video I've found is corresponding to the description. I won't share link here because it will be erased immediately. But the video does exist.
There you go with that attention seeking bs. The video if it did exist hasn't been found, there's countless of people trying to find it to the point that they harassed cameramen that were there filming that day. It's most likely it didn't exist since not even a frame of the video has surfaced. Stop saying you've seen it
@@thekiwiclipper1113things that actually happened like a random redditor thinking her ex is a husband based solely off the idea of him being a "smooth talker"? You media elitist weirdos are really, well, weird 😂

Looking at you Nexpo 😡 Lol sorry, I'm a little upset. I was really looking forward to Nexpos last video. I saved it to watch at a specific time just for it to be an ARG 🤦🏻♀️ I guess some people enjoy that type of content. I've tried so many times but I just can not get into it at all. It's boring.
100 %.....A lawyer that wrote the book about the fire played some of Mathew Picketts audio that he was recording inside his pocket of the show and you can hear someone inhaling that toxic smoke. I don't even know how to explain the sound but it's chilling. It's on UA-cam but he stops the tape before it got too graphic.
I thought the station nightclub footage was available, I remember hearing some of it and being repulsed and turning it off, the screaming was horrible. Maybe it was a long video, I might still have it somewhere... I remember video footage of flames plus audio.
No, its the torture and killing audio from that guy that killed women in the back of his van with house tools. Its used by the FBI in training to desensitize the agents.
The mention of Werner Herzog also reminds me of some other lost media - the audiotape from Timothy Treadwell‘s and his girlfriend Amie Huguenard‘s death in Alaska. It’s only audio because Amie probably forgot to take of the lid from the camera objective when Treadwell got attacked first, and the grizzly came back after it seemed that Amie scared him off succesfully. Sadly they both got mauled short time after. Herzog made the film ‚Grizzly Man‘ about Treadwell. In the end of the film Herzog, who is shown listening to this audio recording, describes how the desperate fight for survival shocked him so much that he did not include the recording in his film: Treadwell, who was expecting death, tells his girlfriend to run away. Instead, the woman, who was always afraid of bears and whom Treadwell had threatened to leave shortly before because of his death wish, tries to fend off the grizzly with a frying pan. According to Herzog, Amie Huguenard's last recorded screams are almost unbearable. The tape ends before she is killed by the bear. The desperate fight lasted around six minutes. He suggests to the heir of the tape, Jewel Palovak, that she destroy it without listening to it, which she promises to do. Edit: There is audio to find online but it seems that it‘s not the original tape, the tape online is also shorter and people claim only investigators and Jewel Palovak + Herzog ever came in touch with the real one. I think this is possible but on the other side who would put so much effort in faking this horrible event?
And I came to the conclusion years ago that that documentary was actually fake. It wouldn't be the first time he made a mockumentary. He did one on the Loch Ness monster too and I believe he tried playing that off as real at first. The guy can't be trusted. The tape isn't lost, it doesn't exist.
Am I missing something or did the first one make no sense? Why would she need the episode to report it? If she remembers the area her ex was in, she could simply look up murders in that area, around that time and call the police to give that information.
I like how this guy did a whole bit about why the Mythbusters shouldnt reveal the mysterious explosive then went straight into substances that could be it
On the Unsolved Mysteries topic, there are about 200 segments that have been cut from the show. The sitcomsonline forum has a list of the segments and air dates. Might be the reason it's not been found. I have been going through all the cases. There are a few that come to mind actually.
The early 2000s felt dark because technology was evolving rapidly, but society was still adapting. The internet was growing but largely unregulated, leading to anonymity and often creepy online spaces like 4Chan and the start of the dark web. Social media was barely a thing, so isolation was common before Facebook or Instagram connected people. Texting was gaining traction, but many still lacked cell phones and only relied on landlines where anyone in the family can answer with no caller ID. I always describe the early 2000’s as the Wild West of uncertainty and mystery.
The Internet was a great place before the domination of social media. There were the first forums of discussion on many particular topics, and there was no such thing as a "dark web" as everything could be found very easily. There were numerous shock websites that don't exist anymore because there wasn't much censorship going on like today. Today, the Internet is very different and boring in comparison. From the early 90s to the 2000s, you needed basic knowledge of how to use a computer to go on the Internet today, every toddler can access it with a tablet or a phone. And everything is censored and carefully hidden in case people get ideas. Back then the Internet would help you to get new ideas, today it prevent people from thinking at all costs.
Where is this the 2000s felt dark coming from? No it didnt. The 2000s felt filled with hope for the future with all the new technology happening. It was the 2k10s that got dark as people realized technology was becoming more hurtful than helpful and hopelessness and depression has only grown from then.
@@usernotfound40495I agree. There was privacy back then. Now the internet tracks us. People who want to cancel one another just because someone looked at them the wrong way, can look up where a person lives, works, etc. and destroy their life online.
Literally the most famous trivia fact about dynamite is the immense guilt felt by its inventor. Folks acting like Adam has some sort of “duty” to tell people are nuts.
I might sound slow but why is it a good thing that they didn't reveal the info? Can someone explain lol? I watched the video but I'm kinda confused lol
@@KaptainKash100The material is said to be widely available, and commercially sold, so anyone can have access to it. And with how dangerous some people are, it would be easily recreated for the wrong purposes. The material itself is not a threat, especially if you come into contact with it, but you would have to go out of your way to make it explosive, which is very easy. A good idea that they never aired that episode, too dangerous to make public knowledge.
@@KaptainKash100 because that information could be used to make bombs and kill people. mythbusters is so popular that at least a handful of people watching would use that to cause mass amounts of harm
The first one with the Unsolved Mysteries episode is almost certainly a case of someone misremembering what they saw. Memory isn’t like a videotape; in fact, memory is actually a very poor way to recall past events. Being sleepy while watching TV can lead to completely false memories of what you watched. Eyewitness testimony is famously inaccurate. I have a friend who likes the same now-deceased musician I do. He SWEARS that one night when he was driving through the mountains he heard the DJ on the radio saying that he was going to play a previously unreleased song by this artist. He then says he lost the signal for a few minutes and when he got the signal again, he never heard this "new" song. He contacted the radio station later and no one there had any idea what he was talking about. Management for the late musician even said that no previously unreleased songs were going to be made available in the foreseeable future. But my friend SWEARS he heard this. He didn’t, of course. He’s done things like this a number of times, swearing that he heard someone say something that they didn’t. I’ve witnessed this firsthand, when he’s said someone he and I were both with at the same time said something that I didn’t hear and the person says he didn’t say. So, yeah, when someone claims to remember something that can’t be verified, I tend to think they’re misremembering what they actually heard or saw.
It happens a lot where these shows help solve murders. It's one of the reasons they exist. It helps reach a broader audience who might actually know the murderer.
It just happened in Mexico. 26 years ago they aired an episode of the show Mujer Casos de La Vida Real where they found the tortured body of a little kid in a big trash bin.

5:20 my gut tells me he’s talking about the lithium liner from the inside of a battery, when added to water it explodes. Imagine what 5 or 10 of those strips would do at the same time
NileRed actually has a video of this on his channel. When he puts the foil in water, it ignites and then explodes with such force that it shatters the glass dish it’s in. All alkali metals react violently with water (and are just highly reactive in general), but lithium (to my knowledge) is the easiest to get your hands on since it’s commonly used in batteries
I like your use of "go viral" to describe popular media from the early twentieth century. We typically don't think of pre-internet or pre-television things as viral content, but it certainly existed.
I had a regular substitute teacher who was on Unsolved Mysteries. He was a part time actor as well and he played a cult leader in one episode. He was in like 3 different episodes playing different parts.
@@Victor-ji1rz I think you've got the wrong story if you're referring to the first one in this video. I believe the original comment is referring to the Sharon Davis case from about 15 minutes in
The Skyway Man may have become lost media during the backlot fires at Universal in 1924. Some of the most sought-after pieces of old Hollywood film are presumed lost because of that. A lot of the original film rolls and negatives of old Hollywood were stored there, and there were no duplicates in some cases.
It wouldn’t be Mythbusters’ responsibility to reveal the explosive substance for public safety reasons. It would be DARPA’s responsibility to determine what-if anything-was necessary. Honestly though, grain dust was my first thought. They tested things that there was conflict over the validity of. Which means it was something at least rumored to have explosive potential. Adam made it sound like it was something that is very commonly found in a typical household:
"Mythbusters did the right thing by not identifying the easily accessible explosive. Now let's try to figure out what it is for our 1.8 million subscribers."
Chilling scares has become my favorite over the years. At first he was kind of a Mr. Nightmare rip off but as time went on he started doing more unique videos and turning into his own unique channel!
i remember mythbusters analyzed ways to try and pass a breathalyzer while drunk, and they did not try the ways i've heard can work. i assume they did this on purpose.
just like the episode where they were trying various techniques to successfully hide drugs from police dogs. even IF they found a method that worked (of course on the show, they didn’t), there’s NO way they would have broadcast what that method was. they’re not going to make it easier for people to commit crimes!
The unsolved mysteries segment is a good reminder why we need and you should keep physical media. A vhs or dvd copy of the original run of the series could have the episode the individual saw.
@@LostHorizons0 Do you people not realize it's a simple Google search away???? Anyone that wants to know the information can easily find out. Get a grip.
Unsolved Mysteries is notorious for recutting and editing episodes, even dropping whole segments out for a lot of reasons (see Stockton Arsonist aka "look at it, Omar") not just because the case is solved. They also copywrite strike videos with a quickness, so even if someone uploads an original from an old video tape, the chances that people get to see it is pretty low.
"Silenced" firearms are not what they appear to be in a movie. Outside of specific loadings and cartridges, you still need hearing protection when using a suppressor.
Reasoning at 4:30 on the first lost Media has a clearly flawed logic. It assumes that the Reddit poster was right no matter what, while the person posting it could have simply been mistaken and the husband not be the culprit
There's also a legendary missing Rescue 911 segment called Baby In Flames that was only aired once in 1989 and has never seen again, not even in reruns (aside from a passing mention in the 100 lives saved special a few years later) The only evidence it ever existed was a single tv guide advertisement for it and a little bit of information on the name of the baby in the story recovered by a fan on the rescue 911 fan wiki.
Lost media freaks me out. It seriously is either weird or freaky or even scary. But, this video is so cool in making me appreciate the value of the media, especially connecting it to shows I know and/or love, like Unsolved Mysteries, MythBusters, and even kind of the Jay Leno Show.
My problem with the flour theory is that they did an experiment using powdered creamer. I doubt that they'd release something so similar if it was that bad. I could be wrong though
Sugar. The 7 February 2008 explosions & fire that destroyed the Imperial Sugar refinery in Port Wentworth, Georgia was caused by a large buildup of sugar dust in the packaging building, along with spilled sugar from machinery. It killed 14 workers & critically injured 36 more.
Powdered creamer makes quite a bit of sense. Someone else said sugar. The story was a cobination of household items. So it couldve been we mixed our coffee a little too close to the burner 🤷♂️ Yall wouldnt believe how explosive dog food can be, i worked for Purina for a bit, static electricity was a huge deal in the plant
I thought the Mythbusters episode would be about the lost segment where they did an experiment with rats, one was fed cereal, one was fed rat food, and the other was fed cardboard. The one that was fed cardboard somehow escaped and started to eat the other two mice, literally leaving the ribcage left of one of them. But that is more of a segment lost then a full episode
Arsenio the Magician can't possibly be real. The post at 12:38 says that the episode was a repeat, and there is no way it would be aired twice. It was either a gag (he was a comedian, after all), or a hoax.
Thank you for all your hard work & narrating your videos yourself. You have earned your success every step of the way & I just want you to know that it is very, very appreciated!
Unsolved Mysteries has also just deleted old segments of their episodes which you can’t watch anywhere anymore such as the Le Fant case segment and Ufo healing cancer segment
Love your channel, brother. Your voice is perfect for the content you produce. Yours is about the only channel I come back to on a regular basis. Keep it up man.
The mythbusters footage “it would be irresponsible at best to release this info to the public” but then you go ahead and give your theory as to what it could be lol.
Unsolved Mysteries started as a series of 7 specials before it became a TV show. These "specials" are not part of a season, so if the segment in question was on one of the specials, you wont find it by watching Seasons 1-11, but they might be showed in syndication. This could explain how it was seen as a rerun on TV, but could not be found by watching only seasoned episodes. You would have to watch the specials too.
I feel like the "missing" mythbusters episode never got to the editing room table. With that in mind, finding the episode that was never made into one is positively impossible.
I vaguely remember the cut the woman in half. Whether it was "live/real" I can't remember or whether it was onTV or UA-cam, she started waving her arms about and shouting but was drowned by music. I never learnt what "happened" to her.
The theory that it was a staged skit kinda makes sense. They start the show by saying the studio will be in darkness, then bring on a magician to perform a seemingly dangerous trick, which then goes wrong due to the limited visibility. Perhaps it was never reran because the people behind the show decided it wasn't as funny in execution as it might have sounded on paper (similar to the scrapped Seinfeld episode 'The Bet'?)
Something really sh*tty about saying that shelving the explosives episode was the responsible thing to do, and then listing all the possiible materials.
4:23 Maybe the segment was updated and the reason the Redditor never heard about her ex-husband getting arrested is because her ex-husband wasn't actually the one who did it, with the similarities she drew only being coincidences.
These were all nice and intriguing. My personal 5 however are different... • 'London After Midnight' which is considered the Holy Grail of Lost Movies... • 'The Bodette - Affolter Film' which apparently captured footage of a creature in Lake Champlain (Champ). Only a few seconds of the full footage was ever shown on TV, and rest remains lost or in litigation... • 'The Lost Mickey - Minnie Tape' which was an infamous animation of Mickey & Minnie Mouse doing things that was shown during a private celebration of Walt Disney's birthday. Disney was apparently so appalled that he fired the animators responsible and ordered the footage to be destroyed. This was apparently written in a book... • 'Timothy Tredwell Audio' which is the original sound footage recorded during the fatal bear attack on Timothy Tredwell. It was in the possession of Jewel Palovak, Timothy's ex-girlfriend, who allowed Werner Herzog to listen to it as part of his documentary "Grizzly Man". Herzog, who himself was shaken by the audio, asked Palovak to destroy it and never listen to it. It is stored in a bank locker somewhere and has never been released. • 'The Original Ending to Deep Blue Sea' which had Preacher/The Cook dying and Dr Susan surviving with Carter. The test audiences responded negatively to it, so they changed it to have Precher survive and Dr Susan die. Only stills of the original ending are available...
The Unsolved Mysteries episode on UA-cam are not the same at all as originally aired. This is because, for some reason, releases needed to be obtained again for streaming. Consequently, many segments are missing completely. The Tallman Ghost segment is an example of this.
I watched a lot of Unsolved Mysteries, and I never remember them editing a segment as new info came in. They would usually show the segment and then add their updates at the end of the segment.
About the mythbusters explosive, I went to a QandA at the Queen Elizabeth theater in Vancouver, BC a few years back. They were asked if "there was ever something they discovered that they felt shouldn't be made public". They said the explosive was so easy to make with house hold items, they were never going to reveal what methods they used to make it.
It's freaking weird how Werner (pronounced Verner, no joke) Herzog has become the sole audience member to recordings of terrible things. I almost think his doc Grizzly Man was initiated in even small part to give him access to Timothy Treadwell's final recording.
To be fair, a lot of older Unsolved Mysteries episodes are chopped up, edited or just missing from official releases. I've had to hunt down quite a few reuploads of old segments at times.
Another popular guess for the Mythbusters mystery explosive is that it was liquid oxygen and charcoal. While the former is not really a household item, you can easily purchase it at drugstores, and when it's combined with a carbon-based fuel like the charcoal, it can quickly create hard to contain fires, and powerful explosions.
This channel is such a relief, no pointless intro, goofy ‘scary music’, or annoying sound effects. Definitely my go to for horror content
Edit: yes I am aware there IS background music, however it isn’t overpowering or one of those clichè pieces that you hear on other channels. Where they seem to rotate the same three or four instrumentals for every other story.
Yes!!!!!!!!

Thats cool but Lazy Masquerade has a nice creepy intro that i dont want him to take away.

I think when it comes to the MythBusters footage, I remember one of the crew that worked on that episode posting about it on twitter or Facebook, saying something along the lines of "The material itself doesn't pose a threat, at least not in the way most people would encounter it. You have to go out of your way to make it explosive. But the process is so easy and the potential for damage and destruction so high that it would just be irresponsible for that footage to see the light of day. "
they're acting like it's something nobody else has discovered, but it definitely isn't
@@712opokay, so what is it? And if you don’t know, who else does?
If the process was that easy someone would've came up with the idea by now. It was probably dangerous but I doubt it was that dangerous
There is no way that Mythbusters waants the responsibility for outlining the steps and making it accessible to normal people.
Even Breaking Bad had deliberate errors and missing steps in the process for making you-know-what, because the DEA quite rightly didn't want people to learn how to do it just by watching the show.
@@jamesmassey4863 they discovered Tannerite.
In the 90's, Robert Stack came to the apartment complex where I lived. They did an episode on a woman who went missing from our building. It's Season 5, Episode 28 and her name was Y "DeDe" Rosenthal.
In the end, it ended up a maintenance man who worked at our building had kidnapped and killed her.
This is the same man who always held the door for me and was always respectful. I had a 2 bedroom and a male roommate, and I'm kinda glad looking back!
He entered her apartment when she was sleeping and before this happened, I sometimes would sleep out on my balcony!! Scary
Omg that's so terrifying, I couldn't imagine how you felt when u found out 😨

It just happened in Mexico. 26 years ago they aired an episode of the show Mujer Casos de La Vida Real where they found the tortured body of a little kid in a big trash bin. They showed a picture of the child. Someone watched the episode and recognized him, identified the mom and stepfather, but they ran away. They aired a 2nd part for the episode with this new information and showed their faces. Nothing happened for a long time but now, 26 years later, on January 2025 they were caught.
To no avail, I might add. Prescribed cases are a thing.
Mexico is a trashbag of crime and injustice.

The last one is unfortunately just gone. At that time it would’ve been shot on nitrocellulose film, which even when stored under ideal conditions doesn’t age well. It deteriorates rapidly and is extremely flammable.
Entire film vaults have been lost due to nitrocellulose film stock going off. So it’s very unlikely that we’ll ever find a copy at this point
alot of these are "just gone"
The 2000s had a mysterious vibe, with the rise of the internet, social media, and global uncertainties. It was a time of digital wonder and confusion, where the internet created new possibilities, but also left people unsure of what was real and what wasn’t.
Right? Like anytime there's a story regarding media (whether it be TV or Internet) from the 2000's, it's almost always guaranteed to be good. There were almost no boundaries or expectations on what would be released online back then, leaving the door open for anything and everything to carve out its place in the digital world, which is how we've ended up with so many strange findings to be discussed and explored in the 2010's and onward.
The 90s as well. I miss the "wild west" days of the internet 😢
Id say that’s happening even more so nowadays.
Honestly whenever I see stuff from the early 2000s it has a liminal vibe for me. Maybe its because it was shortly before I was born. But the notion you bring up also adds to it. I guess it also just shows how much things have changed since then.
We're entering that era of leaving people unsure about what is real and what isn't with AI advancing but AI is indistinguishable from reality, so it's far more dangerous.
It was probably America's Most Wanted and not unsolved Mysteries. I remember even intbe 90s, would confuse those shows for each other.
That's my conclusion, she thinks it was Unsolved Mysteries but it was actually a different show and she got her memories mixed up.
That's a good possibility, but there are also plenty of segments from UM that aren't in the UA-cam uploads... mostly cases where all parties involved have passed on and the case is effectively closed for that reason, or ones where they really slanted their coverage toward accusing someone who has seen been exonerated. There are also some missing for other reasons, I remember a case about a guy with a very unusual name (the reason I remembered the case) who attacked a girl with a hammer that was removed from the episode and I'm still not sure why
Only issue is that 8/17/00 was a Thursday. In 2000 AMW aired on Saturdays
FBI files… could be a number of different shows
Could it have been fbi files. I'm not American, so I don't know how different those shows are. But it's also on the TV guide on the day unsolved mysteries was?
The Jay Leno one was part of a skit. Woman is about to pretend to be cut in half but then exclaims that 'She's been cut' (well if you're going to be cut in half you would be!) - the situation and stunt looks like it's gone wrong then the stage blacks out and it cuts to commercials - only for the show to resume normally
That’s the only thing that makes sense. The guy in the 2001 post even mentions the episode is a repeat. So if it a woman really was injured during the taping of an episode, NBC would have been dumb to not edit it on on just the initial airing, but at for at least one repeat as well.
Or just ask the magician or even Jay Leno if it actually happened
It sounds like an old Conan skit. (Not a particular one but the type of humor) Which since Jay was on the same network and his popularity was starting to wain by 2000 or 2001 whatever it was and Conan's was rising.. maybe his writers tried to do similar humor?
Yeah it's silly that anyone believes this was more than the obvious. It doesn't air live, so they would have scrapped it. But it is recorded in front of a live audience, so they would have all seen it happen. There's just no way a woman was actually cut and no one ever said anything about it.
How would she even be cut for real? I would think the manufacturers design those boxes to eliminate any chance of actually injuring someone. I would imagine the only way for someone in that magic set to be lacerated for real would be if the magician was using a very poorly made box or went out of their way to lacerate the person in the box.
Ron 100% killed his wife… what a prick. So sad she may never get justice.
And even more infuriating he was able to “win” against Unsolved Mysteries airing the episode.

I don't think the Mythbusters mystery explosive would be tannerite, because why would they have to report that to DARPA? Like "hey, did you know this material most commonly used and sold commercially as an explosive is actually explosive?" 😭
My best guess is Ammonium Nitrate, it's a kind of fertilizer which caused the Beirut explosion a few years back
Edit: It couldn't have been ammonium nitrate since they used that in season 3 episode 13 where they blew up a concrete truck
It is aerosoled sugar. In a town I lived in there was a sugar processing plant where NOTHING within 10 miles could be built because if an explosion did occur, everything within that 10 miles would be destroyed, dead, dying, or severely injured. But then again since the 10 mile perimeter was put in place everyone (in authority) knows this.
edit: But this was in 2015, so AFTER the episode aired, so probably aerosoled sugar.

Wow i heard it as "last episode" and was wondering why noone else is talking about that 😭
I love how you include your own perspective on the situations and mysteries, and try to piece together everything to come up with reasonable answers. I don't see a lot of other channels doing that.
Yeah, most other channels like this usually just goad or double down on the wildest theories of things, this guy is a lot more grounded, reasonable, and realistic with his perspectives and commentary.
i like that about his channel too! he also goes out of his way to do more research for these cases.
In terms of Unsolved Mysteries not every segment is available for streaming.
Yes I would estimate 99 percent or so are, but due to various issues (statute of limitations, lawsuits from those featured etc) there are definitely missing segments.
I have 20 DVD's converted from old VHS tapes and it includes cases that are otherwise no longer available. I'm going to go down this rabbit hole and see what I can find out
I hope you find something.

Yeah, let me know as well.
On the "game in the sand" I have a possible theory (with no basis). Its possible to me that what really disturbed him is that whatever they did to the rooster made the kids cry. No matter how disturbing this guy's art is, some people just cannot handle seeing upset children, especially if he is a father. Also, who would want to immortalize real footage of that?
I got three theories myself.
1: He made it up to impress people and get his name spread as proposed in this video.
2: The parents didn't agree to some of what he did or possible injuries no matter how minor those injuries were. This could have resulted in a massive lawsuit if the footage was still around and able to be brought to court.
3: Something involving those children was illegal to produce (CSAM).
You're a very optimistic person.
@@ٴٴٴٴ_0 That's the first time I've ever been accused of that 😆
Its just so refreshing how this guy doesn't even go into a cringy intro and just jumps right into what the video is about. just tells how much he appreciates and respects his own fanbase.
Can you imagine I've actually seen someone complain about this in the past. I don't understand people. But yes he's got his formula down and does it well.
Isn’t that cool?
The issue with unsolved mysteries, it was in heavy syndication in 2000. The TV Guide listings don’t always show what actually aired. So a local affiliate may run unsolved mysteries while another show was listed, or, they list episode 7x14 when they end up airing episode 9x2.
Your theory for the first Unsolved Mysteries lost episode certainly makes a lot of sense. Another reason why that segment may be hard to find is that there are entire missing segments from the FilmRise Unsolved Mysteries library whether you view it on UA-cam, Prime Video, Tubi etc. An example I cite is the case of the 9th episode of Season 9, which originally featured the case of Jay Durham. This segment is not shown in the FIlmRise upload of the episode;however in this case Jay Durham is mentioned on the Unsolved Wiki page. It is entirely possible this segment was removed due to the wishes of family members or a legal situation.
solid logic ❤
There are plenty of shows that for some reason after they aired you can't find a certain episode again. The one that comes immediately to mind is the tv show Making Monsters. They had an episode where they made a prop for Alice Cooper & if you watch the series on...Discovery?...it's completely gone. I know there are other examples, I just can't think of them right now.
This is a good line of logic. Both John and Terry stated that oftentimes due to warrants expiring or statute of limitations policies, quite a number of the episodes cannot be released or rebroadcast.
I think for the OP on Reddit, the smartest thing to do would be to:
1. Ask them if they remember who was hosting that episode in particular? Stack? Farina? Etc. That would rule out which series of seasons it was. Lifetime did have their own series of it, but also ran reruns, and if it was with Stack or Farina, then we know for sure it wasn't an original LT produced episode.
Second, there are two collections of UM episode sets online. There's the FilmRise collection, and there's also a bootleg UM pack online that contains extensive recordings of the original home broadcasts from VCR recordings/caps.
I think the latter would be a good place to start, as the episode in question may show up there.
There’s lots of holes in the research on that one.
@@munkustrap2 There's an episode of Kitchen Nightmares called Oceana. The restaurant owners were angry how they were portrayed on the show and sued Gordon Ramsey and the other producers twice.
Simple solution to story 1: she should go to the police. They can then check out the ex and determine if there is a possibility they committed a crime - they'll also be able to find the homicide without all this convoluted necessity of finding some random TV show. It just sounds like BS, regardless of how legitimate the person posting may seem.

Why wouldn't she just look up the time and area and see if any murders were committed in that area?
@@85argent15 exactly. She's grasping at straws, and I don't know why the UA-camr tried to put so much emphasis on her supposed believability lol.
I remember a Hoarders episode where the lady had thousands of VHS tapes of things that she recorded. Of course they were trying to get her to throw out her collection, but now I think she was ahead of her time. She probably had all the answers to these.
Are you talking about Marion Stokes? Web Archive uploaded a lot of her tapes, however I don't know if they still have them, because they had a lot of judicial battles in 2024 and had to temporarily shut down the site several times.
I got a collection of tapes from a guy who did similar- filled a 3 story house with tapes and moved nextdoor.
sadly 99% of his recordings were easy to find trash lol but the commercials and stuff were fun
As far as the Mythbusters episode goes they usually took suggestion from viewers. Back in the day they either got them through e-mail or on their message board. While going through their e-mails would be illegal and a tedious task, going on the waybackmachine and trying to find the old message board might reveal some important hints as they discussed all kinds of stuff like this back then.
That first one is odd. She said she knew her ex was "driving through that area". So contacting law enforcement "in that area" and describing the crime shouldn't be very difficult. There were enough details there (smooth talking home invader etc) to at least point the police in the right direction.
“driving through that area around that time” so yeah she’s got the when, the where, a description of crime, a description of suspect… That should narrow it down sufficiently, the missing episode is kind of irrelevant.
@@jimrockford2335 But why let logic get in the way of a good internet attention seeking?
So my personal theory of the mystery chemical could be either sawdust or regular house dust. I remember hearing a really old myth about when modern vacuums were coming out is that it's possible for the dust could ignite and in an enclosed space it could explode. Dust can be super explosive in enclosed spaces.
This correlates well with uncompacted flour as well. Something along the line "Is it safe to vacuum the flour".
That’s most likely it 👍
Sawdust is used in some tnt as an absorbent. And fine dry dust in many forms (corn, flour etc) is not news that is combustible. My guess it could be soap, or something containing hydrogen.
georgia sugar factory explosion
I think it must be something like that. imo it's more likely that they didn't air the episode because it would have been so easy for people to replicate if they knew they could do it, rather than the potency of the explosive necessarily.
some parts of lost medias can be much worse than some dark sides of internet.

The most disturbing piece of loss media is the station fire audio tape that we know exists, but will never be heard by anyone
100 %.....A lawyer that wrote the book about the fire played some of Mathew Picketts audio that he was recording inside his pocket of the show and you can hear someone inhaling that toxic smoke. I don't even know how to explain the sound but it's chilling. It's on UA-cam but he stops the tape before it got too graphic.
And the Hillsborough disaster, loads of footage has never been made public due to how graphic it is.
I thought the station nightclub footage was available, I remember hearing some of it and being repulsed and turning it off, the screaming was horrible. Maybe it was a long video, I might still have it somewhere... I remember video footage of flames plus audio.
No, its the torture and killing audio from that guy that killed women in the back of his van with house tools. Its used by the FBI in training to desensitize the agents.
@@MegaOZXThe Tool Box Killers. It was two guys working together.
I think if you have to report something to DARPA you don’t have a choice to be silent. You don’t want to be on their bad side.
The mention of Werner Herzog also reminds me of some other lost media - the audiotape from Timothy Treadwell‘s and his girlfriend Amie Huguenard‘s death in Alaska. It’s only audio because Amie probably forgot to take of the lid from the camera objective when Treadwell got attacked first, and the grizzly came back after it seemed that Amie scared him off succesfully. Sadly they both got mauled short time after. Herzog made the film ‚Grizzly Man‘ about Treadwell. In the end of the film Herzog, who is shown listening to this audio recording, describes how the desperate fight for survival shocked him so much that he did not include the recording in his film: Treadwell, who was expecting death, tells his girlfriend to run away. Instead, the woman, who was always afraid of bears and whom Treadwell had threatened to leave shortly before because of his death wish, tries to fend off the grizzly with a frying pan. According to Herzog, Amie Huguenard's last recorded screams are almost unbearable. The tape ends before she is killed by the bear. The desperate fight lasted around six minutes. He suggests to the heir of the tape, Jewel Palovak, that she destroy it without listening to it, which she promises to do.
Edit: There is audio to find online but it seems that it‘s not the original tape, the tape online is also shorter and people claim only investigators and Jewel Palovak + Herzog ever came in touch with the real one. I think this is possible but on the other side who would put so much effort in faking this horrible event?
And I came to the conclusion years ago that that documentary was actually fake. It wouldn't be the first time he made a mockumentary. He did one on the Loch Ness monster too and I believe he tried playing that off as real at first. The guy can't be trusted. The tape isn't lost, it doesn't exist.
@@jimmypeeps8471 Actually the tape exist, but it was destroyed and the audio that we can find online is from his movie.

On the Unsolved Mysteries topic, there are about 200 segments that have been cut from the show. The sitcomsonline forum has a list of the segments and air dates.
Might be the reason it's not been found. I have been going through all the cases. There are a few that come to mind actually.
Love this channel! You deserve more subscribers.
The early 2000s felt dark because technology was evolving rapidly, but society was still adapting. The internet was growing but largely unregulated, leading to anonymity and often creepy online spaces like 4Chan and the start of the dark web. Social media was barely a thing, so isolation was common before Facebook or Instagram connected people. Texting was gaining traction, but many still lacked cell phones and only relied on landlines where anyone in the family can answer with no caller ID. I always describe the early 2000’s as the Wild West of uncertainty and mystery.
The 2000’s were better than the 2020’s certainly better than 2010’s. Idk about dark but not having the internet ruin your life was a big plus.
The Internet was a great place before the domination of social media. There were the first forums of discussion on many particular topics, and there was no such thing as a "dark web" as everything could be found very easily. There were numerous shock websites that don't exist anymore because there wasn't much censorship going on like today. Today, the Internet is very different and boring in comparison. From the early 90s to the 2000s, you needed basic knowledge of how to use a computer to go on the Internet today, every toddler can access it with a tablet or a phone. And everything is censored and carefully hidden in case people get ideas. Back then the Internet would help you to get new ideas, today it prevent people from thinking at all costs.
Where is this the 2000s felt dark coming from? No it didnt. The 2000s felt filled with hope for the future with all the new technology happening.
It was the 2k10s that got dark as people realized technology was becoming more hurtful than helpful and hopelessness and depression has only grown from then.
@@usernotfound40495I agree. There was privacy back then. Now the internet tracks us. People who want to cancel one another just because someone looked at them the wrong way, can look up where a person lives, works, etc. and destroy their life online.

@@KaptainKash100 because that information could be used to make bombs and kill people. mythbusters is so popular that at least a handful of people watching would use that to cause mass amounts of harm
The first one with the Unsolved Mysteries episode is almost certainly a case of someone misremembering what they saw. Memory isn’t like a videotape; in fact, memory is actually a very poor way to recall past events. Being sleepy while watching TV can lead to completely false memories of what you watched. Eyewitness testimony is famously inaccurate.
I have a friend who likes the same now-deceased musician I do. He SWEARS that one night when he was driving through the mountains he heard the DJ on the radio saying that he was going to play a previously unreleased song by this artist. He then says he lost the signal for a few minutes and when he got the signal again, he never heard this "new" song. He contacted the radio station later and no one there had any idea what he was talking about. Management for the late musician even said that no previously unreleased songs were going to be made available in the foreseeable future. But my friend SWEARS he heard this. He didn’t, of course. He’s done things like this a number of times, swearing that he heard someone say something that they didn’t. I’ve witnessed this firsthand, when he’s said someone he and I were both with at the same time said something that I didn’t hear and the person says he didn’t say.
So, yeah, when someone claims to remember something that can’t be verified, I tend to think they’re misremembering what they actually heard or saw.
It happens a lot where these shows help solve murders. It's one of the reasons they exist. It helps reach a broader audience who might actually know the murderer.
It just happened in Mexico. 26 years ago they aired an episode of the show Mujer Casos de La Vida Real where they found the tortured body of a little kid in a big trash bin. They showed a picture of the child. Someone watched the episode and recognized him and the parents, mom and stepfather, but they ran away. They aired a 2nd part for the episode with this new information and showed their faces. Nothing happened for a long time but now, 26 years later, on January 2025 they were caught.
Nothing like a chilling scares video on a nice Wednesday morning💯
I like this format of content, just stuff to chill to and actually interest me, instead of all the flashy editing and obnoxious sound effects
5:20 my gut tells me he’s talking about the lithium liner from the inside of a battery, when added to water it explodes. Imagine what 5 or 10 of those strips would do at the same time
NileRed actually has a video of this on his channel. When he puts the foil in water, it ignites and then explodes with such force that it shatters the glass dish it’s in. All alkali metals react violently with water (and are just highly reactive in general), but lithium (to my knowledge) is the easiest to get your hands on since it’s commonly used in batteries
“They didn’t tell anyone what the explosion was made of but here’s some other explosives”😭
I like your use of "go viral" to describe popular media from the early twentieth century. We typically don't think of pre-internet or pre-television things as viral content, but it certainly existed.
I had a regular substitute teacher who was on Unsolved Mysteries. He was a part time actor as well and he played a cult leader in one episode. He was in like 3 different episodes playing different parts.
Unsolved Mysteries complying with the husbands wish to be hush hush was so spineless.
More likely that it was bullshit and never happened.
Bro, if the story was real the ex wife would simply have to go to the police and tell them, thats just bullshit
@@Victor-ji1rz I think you've got the wrong story if you're referring to the first one in this video. I believe the original comment is referring to the Sharon Davis case from about 15 minutes in
@@Victor-ji1rzwrong story dude
very weak. like what did he say that rattled them so much?! he’s a week ass man all the way across the country, they shoulda just aired it.
Officially addicted to this channel, I’ll happily binge all the vids day after day
The Skyway Man may have become lost media during the backlot fires at Universal in 1924. Some of the most sought-after pieces of old Hollywood film are presumed lost because of that. A lot of the original film rolls and negatives of old Hollywood were stored there, and there were no duplicates in some cases.
It wouldn’t be Mythbusters’ responsibility to reveal the explosive substance for public safety reasons. It would be DARPA’s responsibility to determine what-if anything-was necessary.
Honestly though, grain dust was my first thought. They tested things that there was conflict over the validity of. Which means it was something at least rumored to have explosive potential. Adam made it sound like it was something that is very commonly found in a typical household:
"Mythbusters did the right thing by not identifying the easily accessible explosive. Now let's try to figure out what it is for our 1.8 million subscribers."
I’m always suspicious of new horror channels that are lazy and rip off other creators, but I’m glad to have a new horror channel in the rotation
Chilling scares has become my favorite over the years. At first he was kind of a Mr. Nightmare rip off but as time went on he started doing more unique videos and turning into his own unique channel!
He's been around for a minute. I got into him from his dashcam vids and camping vids
This isn't a new horror channel. The guy has 1.3 million subs
*new to my algorithm
@@fat-turtle-420 His dash came videos are also what really made me get into his videos
I know that the deleted Mythbusters wasn't about igniting farts, but, also, I can't stop imagining that it's about igniting farts
I’m pretty sure they actually had an episode on Mythbusters Jr. about igniting farts 😭
i remember mythbusters analyzed ways to try and pass a breathalyzer while drunk, and they did not try the ways i've heard can work. i assume they did this on purpose.
just like the episode where they were trying various techniques to successfully hide drugs from police dogs.
even IF they found a method that worked (of course on the show, they didn’t), there’s NO way they would have broadcast what that method was. they’re not going to make it easier for people to commit crimes!
I love all of your videos, but these are by far my favorite. Please do these more often!
Thank you for always uploading during lunch break, always look forward to these videos there so addicting
The unsolved mysteries segment is a good reminder why we need and you should keep physical media. A vhs or dvd copy of the original run of the series could have the episode the individual saw.
I admire the guy from Myth Busters. His concern for the wellbeing of others makes him a hero in my book
Yep and than this guy gives away dangerous chemical possibilities anyway smh 🤦🏻♂️
@@LostHorizons0 do you not know what the anarchist's cookbook is? google will teach you how to make a IED, welcome to the internet bud
@@LostHorizons0 Do you people not realize it's a simple Google search away???? Anyone that wants to know the information can easily find out. Get a grip.
Ask Adam's sister about what a "great guy" he is.
He is a monster.
Unsolved Mysteries is notorious for recutting and editing episodes, even dropping whole segments out for a lot of reasons (see Stockton Arsonist aka "look at it, Omar") not just because the case is solved. They also copywrite strike videos with a quickness, so even if someone uploads an original from an old video tape, the chances that people get to see it is pretty low.
"Silenced" firearms are not what they appear to be in a movie. Outside of specific loadings and cartridges, you still need hearing protection when using a suppressor.
Unless Myth Busters found something really efficient.
Reasoning at 4:30 on the first lost Media has a clearly flawed logic. It assumes that the Reddit poster was right no matter what, while the person posting it could have simply been mistaken and the husband not be the culprit
There's also a legendary missing Rescue 911 segment called Baby In Flames that was only aired once in 1989 and has never seen again, not even in reruns (aside from a passing mention in the 100 lives saved special a few years later)
The only evidence it ever existed was a single tv guide advertisement for it and a little bit of information on the name of the baby in the story recovered by a fan on the rescue 911 fan wiki.
Love your video Chilling Scares and keep up the great work you are awesome

Lost media freaks me out. It seriously is either weird or freaky or even scary. But, this video is so cool in making me appreciate the value of the media, especially connecting it to shows I know and/or love, like Unsolved Mysteries, MythBusters, and even kind of the Jay Leno Show.
It's 2 am, heavy raining outside, and Chilling Scares has just uploaded. Tonight could not get any better.
Sounds like a great night to me

Among us in the big 25 is crazy 💔
My problem with the flour theory is that they did an experiment using powdered creamer. I doubt that they'd release something so similar if it was that bad. I could be wrong though
They may not have seen an issue with it if the results weren’t that crazy
It's Play-Doh, like in futurama
Sugar. The 7 February 2008 explosions & fire that destroyed the Imperial Sugar refinery in Port Wentworth, Georgia was caused by a large buildup of sugar dust in the packaging building, along with spilled sugar from machinery. It killed 14 workers & critically injured 36 more.
Powdered creamer makes quite a bit of sense.
Someone else said sugar.
The story was a cobination of household items.
So it couldve been we mixed our coffee a little too close to the burner 🤷♂️
Yall wouldnt believe how explosive dog food can be, i worked for Purina for a bit, static electricity was a huge deal in the plant
@@notablynova when you say static was a big issue, do you mean like the dog food kept exploding because of static?
No intros, no beeped words, straight to the point, nice voice, good plots - love-love)
I’m in this video! Well, one of my Reddit comments is. And that’s good enough for me. So cool that I pop up in one of my favorite YT channels!
I thought the Mythbusters episode would be about the lost segment where they did an experiment with rats, one was fed cereal, one was fed rat food, and the other was fed cardboard.
The one that was fed cardboard somehow escaped and started to eat the other two mice, literally leaving the ribcage left of one of them.
But that is more of a segment lost then a full episode
Arsenio the Magician can't possibly be real. The post at 12:38 says that the episode was a repeat, and there is no way it would be aired twice. It was either a gag (he was a comedian, after all), or a hoax.
Don’t late shows air twice?
Always a good day when chilling scares uploads a new video keep up the great work
Thank you for all your hard work & narrating your videos yourself. You have earned your success every step of the way & I just want you to know that it is very, very appreciated!
The fact that he wanted a raise and instead died crashes. Poor dude.
7:08 The older Adam Savage gets, the more he's starting to look like James Hetfield from Metallica.
18:23 so Ron did it, why so persistent on it
Yeah; it’s too suspicious and it he didn’t do it; he definitely hired someone to do it
Unsolved Mysteries has also just deleted old segments of their episodes which you can’t watch anywhere anymore such as the Le Fant case segment and Ufo healing cancer segment
Love your channel, brother. Your voice is perfect for the content you produce. Yours is about the only channel I come back to on a regular basis. Keep it up man.
The mythbusters footage “it would be irresponsible at best to release this info to the public” but then you go ahead and give your theory as to what it could be lol.
Unsolved Mysteries started as a series of 7 specials before it became a TV show. These "specials" are not part of a season, so if the segment in question was on one of the specials, you wont find it by watching Seasons 1-11, but they might be showed in syndication. This could explain how it was seen as a rerun on TV, but could not be found by watching only seasoned episodes. You would have to watch the specials too.
I feel like the "missing" mythbusters episode never got to the editing room table. With that in mind, finding the episode that was never made into one is positively impossible.
Consistently brilliant content
The Leno thing would’ve been a huge news story if it’d been a thing. This one is easy to disprove.
these people remember what they saw on tv 20 years ago. i struggle to remember what i had for dinner the previous night.
Just a stretch here, but maybe the 'Unsolved Mysteries' episode she viewed was actually Forensic Files.
I was thinking this too
Forensic files only does solved cases. Their whole shtick was how science solves crime
Forensic files only did solved cases. Their whole shtick is showing how science solves crime
I think forensic files only airs stories where the perpetrator has been caught
@@tekbarrier good point
I vaguely remember the cut the woman in half. Whether it was "live/real" I can't remember or whether it was onTV or UA-cam, she started waving her arms about and shouting but was drowned by music. I never learnt what "happened" to her.
The theory that it was a staged skit kinda makes sense. They start the show by saying the studio will be in darkness, then bring on a magician to perform a seemingly dangerous trick, which then goes wrong due to the limited visibility. Perhaps it was never reran because the people behind the show decided it wasn't as funny in execution as it might have sounded on paper (similar to the scrapped Seinfeld episode 'The Bet'?)
0:36 I js love Bakersfield
Same, just not now cuz of the border patrol
@MineBotLevi girl good luck to u😭, I live in wasco
I never knew about the Leno thing, great work! Im subbing
Something really sh*tty about saying that shelving the explosives episode was the responsible thing to do, and then listing all the possiible materials.
4:23 Maybe the segment was updated and the reason the Redditor never heard about her ex-husband getting arrested is because her ex-husband wasn't actually the one who did it, with the similarities she drew only being coincidences.
These were all nice and intriguing. My personal 5 however are different...
• 'London After Midnight' which is considered the Holy Grail of Lost Movies...
• 'The Bodette - Affolter Film' which apparently captured footage of a creature in Lake Champlain (Champ). Only a few seconds of the full footage was ever shown on TV, and rest remains lost or in litigation...
• 'The Lost Mickey - Minnie Tape' which was an infamous animation of Mickey & Minnie Mouse doing things that was shown during a private celebration of Walt Disney's birthday. Disney was apparently so appalled that he fired the animators responsible and ordered the footage to be destroyed. This was apparently written in a book...
• 'Timothy Tredwell Audio' which is the original sound footage recorded during the fatal bear attack on Timothy Tredwell. It was in the possession of Jewel Palovak, Timothy's ex-girlfriend, who allowed Werner Herzog to listen to it as part of his documentary "Grizzly Man". Herzog, who himself was shaken by the audio, asked Palovak to destroy it and never listen to it. It is stored in a bank locker somewhere and has never been released.
• 'The Original Ending to Deep Blue Sea' which had Preacher/The Cook dying and Dr Susan surviving with Carter. The test audiences responded negatively to it, so they changed it to have Precher survive and Dr Susan die. Only stills of the original ending are available...
The Unsolved Mysteries episode on UA-cam are not the same at all as originally aired. This is because, for some reason, releases needed to be obtained again for streaming. Consequently, many segments are missing completely. The Tallman Ghost segment is an example of this.
I have an official DVD with the tallman episode but now that I think about it I don't remember seeing that segment when I marathoned the show
@ They still were able to use all the segments for home video release, but that didn’t cover streaming
I watched a lot of Unsolved Mysteries, and I never remember them editing a segment as new info came in. They would usually show the segment and then add their updates at the end of the segment.
About the mythbusters explosive, I went to a QandA at the Queen Elizabeth theater in Vancouver, BC a few years back. They were asked if "there was ever something they discovered that they felt shouldn't be made public". They said the explosive was so easy to make with house hold items, they were never going to reveal what methods they used to make it.
I love you chilling scares, you’re my idol
It's freaking weird how Werner (pronounced Verner, no joke) Herzog has become the sole audience member to recordings of terrible things. I almost think his doc Grizzly Man was initiated in even small part to give him access to Timothy Treadwell's final recording.
To be fair, a lot of older Unsolved Mysteries episodes are chopped up, edited or just missing from official releases. I've had to hunt down quite a few reuploads of old segments at times.
Another popular guess for the Mythbusters mystery explosive is that it was liquid oxygen and charcoal. While the former is not really a household item, you can easily purchase it at drugstores, and when it's combined with a carbon-based fuel like the charcoal, it can quickly create hard to contain fires, and powerful explosions.
Great coverage of these strange events! Love this channel! Thanks
