I'm indigenous (native american) and the guy from the first story had been given clear warnings to not go but he felt his religious views took precedent over the privacy, health, and safety of the tribe. He shouldn't have gone period and what happened was not a surprise at all. Just let indigenous people exist without trying to force religion or other ideals on them.
Yeah…it was a terrible idea (for many reasons) …but imagine if you were raised since childhood to believe that a group of people will burn in hell forever, or at least never reach Heaven/peace,…..UNLESS you go save them. Some TRULY believe that. Or they absolutely believe an infinitely powerful being just told them to do something. And some forms of epilepsy/temporal lobe defects can predispose to, or manifest as religiosity….and this guy was having religious visions. So…it was dead wrong, but I think he did it mainly out of misguided belief that this was “helping,” not mainly out of ego or wanting to force “his way” on others.
His father has a lot of nerve blaming everybody else for his son's actions. His parents brought up the boy up, and raised him to believe he had the right to impose his beliefs on others. All this without the consent of the people who didn't want him, or the local government who protects this tribe from intervention. The son was an adult who made his own decisions that had fatal consequences. Blame nobody but your son. He proceeded, knowing what he was doing was illegal and unwanted.
Thanks for projecting your Atheism and depression onto others Telling somebody about something isn't synonymous with forcing your beliefs onto them If you actually knew the tribes,you'd likely find them despicable Christianity basically eradicated vile practices like child sacrifice and cannibalism btw GFU Repeatedly
@@gNome_5 in other words - christian missionaries - no one ever needed them, yet they came anyways and destroyed lives and cultures where they went - all in the "name" of a god you shall not name and a man, who may have lived over 2000 years ago, fathered by said god through a 15/16-year-old girl, who at that time, should have been betrothed to an 80-year old man - if you ever wondered why they were refused to stay at the inn and were covered the stabled instead, that's the case - according to apocryphal scripture was baby Jesus Mary's super sweet 16 miracle baby
The tone deafness from these religious zealots is mind blowing. Trying to push their beliefs onto tribes that do not speak their language and or are unable to read is crazy. Worshipping godis a private thing for most of us and we don't push are narrative of any Bible onto others.
"worshipping god is a private thing" is such a good line. I don't worship any god and personally have no quarrel when people do it privately. Obviously, I have friends with specific religious needs (like Muslims and Jews) and I'm happy to respect things like dietary needs but at the same time they never say a word about my lifestyle because it's private.
"You probably agree with this. It probably describes YOU" - SPOT ON. It was great hearing your own personal thoughts on how you got here - and why you chose this specific line of content; Not by the cause of morbid curiosity - but by exploring the depths of humanity. Beautiful reasoning, my man. I wish you all the success this world has to offer - and then some. Keep it up!
Absolutely! They were behaving in a _defensive_ manner. And, the shot that hit him, was a firm warning shot. The kid could've easily deleted him but chose other wise. I mean, what do these people think!? A weird, pale skinned man with a funny hat from a far away land, in a kayak, spouting Christian hymns?? Trying to push their pale skinned god upon them?!? 🤔 Common sense has literally vanished from the majority of the world. Not sure how, or why? I just know common sense is _not_ as common as it used to be. Same with critical thinking, not many people can do it any more, they just believe whatever they hear and do as they're told.
oh no no no no...the Senegalese will kill anyone who comes close. This story does not say much about them, its from John's point of view. It is well known that people must stay away for their own safety. Thats why John was so unbelievably stupid.
If that were the case he wouldn't have been prepared to die. He knew that was a big possibility regardless of anything he did or said to try and convince those islanders that he meant no harm. And he wouldn't have told his family to forgive his killers either. It wasn't ego. It was his love for God and his children that he died for which for a Christian, it is a win actually. For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. - Philippians 1:21. It wasn't a loss as long as he was truly following God's commands and doing his work which I believe is a big possibility. But only God knew his true heart.
@annodomini7250 It seems like what you see in this is righteousness...Not the self righteousness but the type of righteousness God gives to those who believe in him.... Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you. - Hosea 10:12
I agree @head comment It's best to let people be. Most definitely if they don't know why we show up..they may have thought he was bad news...but may this man rest in peace. 💙
The absolute arrogance and hubris of John Chow. For him to think that the Sentinelese people, who have been living and dying and surviving on this island for thousands of years without any outside interference, needed HIM to come and "save" them.. It honestly boggles the mind!
I agree. I was disgusted when hearing John's journal entries. He was egotistical and idiotic by going to a place that was so blatantly restricted for everyone's benefit. His decisions, no matter how well-intentioned, were stupid and full of self-interest
The carelessness as well. He could've killed all those people with a run-of-the-mill sickness our bodies are used to, but the Sentinelese have never been exposed to.
@@jimboiswaiting he was not wanted there and he knew it. He knew he was breaking the law by trying to approach the island. The laws are in place to protect the sentinelese people from diseases which we have immunity to but they do not. He could have wiped out the entire island with an illness that they had no immunity to. The laws are also in place to protect people from being killed by the sentinelese because they are notoriously aggressive when it comes to outsiders trying to infiltrate their island. They fired warning shots (arrows) towards him when they first saw him. How much more obvious could it be that he wasn't welcome on their island? Also, he didn't speak their language. How was he going to communicate with them? He showed up uninvited with the intentions of shoving his religion down their throats for his own prideful purposes. He had no respect for the people of that island. If he did he would have left as soon as they fired off the first few arrows at him and taken the hint that he was not wanted there. Instead he allowed his arrogance, his pride, his belief that HIS god was better than THEIR god, get him killed. It's hard to have sympathy for him or anyone like him.
Why can’t Westeners and especially religious groups leave other cultures alone respect their spiritual beliefs and get over their own aragance and hubris Honestly I have no sympathy for missionaries who do not fare well
Im a westerner and have never, not once thought very highly of them. To me, they showed who they really are running those indian schools where children were abused, confused and murdered. Just like the Spaniards with the Aztecs and Mayans
You obviously have NO CLUE how much life saving good those “undeserving “ missionaries do ! … or maybe you do and you’re just a cold callus atheist with no love for people as these missionaries do 🤔
That's what Christianity historically has done. It has gone into various areas of the world, extinguished the local expressions of spirituality and replaced it with Christianity. I live in England and exactly the same thing happened here. It just happened in an early period of history. There was the indigenous Druidism of the Celtic tribes and the Woden worshipping Anglo-Saxon variant of Germanic/Norse Paganism. These Christian expansionists vandalised my ancestors' beliefs too.
Wow. The last thing I was expecting was that real life footage of the diver finding Harrison. I can not even imagine what they both must have felt at the time. And the resolution of Harrison to actually take up hard hat industrial diving after, I would have moved to a desert.
I was a commercial diver for a few years, it was a terrifying job. In case you are wondering, their voices are high pitched because of the pressure on their vocal cords at that depth.
I have been watching dark videos for comfort over the last 5 years. My life has also been so hard these last 5 years, 5 people I love passed away and I started suffering badly with endometriosis 2 and a half years ago. I have a few other incurable illnesses too. I started rescuing and adopting animals to give my life meaning and my heart is full
@@seaweedvibes3471 I hope things get better for you. It's hard losing those we love. I believe we'll be reunited one day. Until then, plz take care of yourself. Sending my love ♥
that first story honestly pisses me off a lot. there’s a reason uncontancted tribes STAY that way. i know that he did that whole quarantine thing, but let’s be honest, that probably did hardly anything. he was putting that whole tribe at risk for what? to try and spread a religion? those people were living perfectly fine lives. please just keep your religion to yourself and don’t force it on other people
Your words really struck a chord with me. I've not seen your videos before but just based on your open, vulnerable and heartfelt preamble, I'm definitely sticking around.
John Chow learned a valuable lesson that he unfortunately won't be able to share: You may have a message, a message that you want to share, if you insist this message needs to be shared, beware some people don't want to hear it and will ensure that message stays with you eternally.
Christians believe spreading the “word” is a, literal, DEMAND in the Bible….They can’t just “leave them alone.”….It would go against everything they believe. I DO NOT believe, but can respect their passion. This man was ok with giving up his life for his beliefs…. People keep acting like the indigenous people were the ones murdered…. 🤷♀️
Many Christians believe that those who die in ignorance of the gospel will be accepted into heaven by default. Conversely, those who have heard the gospel but reject it will go to hell. Seems like it would be better to leave people alone. A missionary is just ensuring that some percentage will go to hell.
I ALWAYS want to hear you talk!! Edit: Ok, you made me cry. You explained perfectly how I feel when trying to explain to someone why I watch the darker side of true crime. People are so judgemental and put us in a box with a label. You know what? I'll proudly wear that label! Thank you for your hard work and a huge thank you for not giving up! 💕💕💕
Ikr??? His description felt like a blazing spotlight blaring right on me, lol! It brought me to tears, too, to DCD humanize himself so much ❤ I love this community so much!
WOW!! Now THIS is gold man. I will be honest with you. I’ve been skipping most of your videos as of late. Me being subscribed to 60+ true crime channels, most of the stories are covered by multiple channels. So I’m always looking for something different. THIS was different. It was great, it was interesting and it kept me hooked!! Masterful work and I HOPE to see more like this!!!!
Thank you so much my friend! It really does man a lot seeing a comment like this. I spent a lot of time worrying about putting this out and whether.I was making a mistake or not. There is a lot more to come!
@@DarkCaseDocumentaries that’s so great to hear! Just remember. True Crime is all over the place on UA-cam now. BUT. It does NOT have to be true crime related to be a “Dark Case Documentary”!! And most true crime channels just stick to true crime. And we as fans hear the same stories over and over from different creators. So I love that you took a risk and branched out. I REALLY hope this new format is something you will mix in to your crime videos and I hope it’s a giant success for you!
@@DarkCaseDocumentaries@nofury555 perfectly said! Especially regarding the fact that Dark Cases are in no way, shape, or form absolutely inclusive with true crime. For instance, things that would absolutely fall under *things that I'd also drop all and run to you for would include, but obvi not limited to "the Dark side" if you will😅, of Greek (or rather any) mythology, origin stories of those who were/are in places of higher authorities, legends, bands, celebrities... the possibilities are absolutely endless! In fact, you could create Seasons of a specified group and episodes of those who/that fall under them.. your way of storytelling would absolutely kill that! Pun Def intended! 😂😂 happy to hear your voice AND happy to see u grow!
@@DarkCaseDocumentaries look in to exorcisms gone wrong. But stay away from the over-reported ones like Anneliese Michel. Which has been covered SO many times. BUT the topic of demonic possessions and exorcisms is VERY real and for SURE would classify as “Dark”. There are so many topics you could cover as dark cases. Like forced or fraudulent adoptions. Child trafficking for purpose of labor etc. just expand your thoughts and think of some of the darkest possible things. Like big corporations hidden secrets that people have died over. And if you find one that hasn’t been covered on 10000 channels, that would be EPIC!!
Very happy to be a part of the Dark Case family and to support such a wonderful, informative channel. Yes, life has been a struggle for me. Sometimes I wonder why I can't get a break. But you know what, it made me stronger and I'm proud to say, no matter how hard things got, I never hurt another person. I never commited a crime. Always placed my morality above all else. Thank you for all the work you do. Your channel is one of the best out there. That's why I'm here. 👏👏❤
Thank you so much 🖤 I appreciate you massively!! I keep getting taught time and time again to never give up - when your backs against the wall is often when things come together if you just trust your gut.
I'm diggin this channel too :) Thank you. After reading your post , I thought,damn, I feel that way sometimes too. Well I used to. I've come to realize that life is all about perception. How we view an experience largely shapes the outcome. Nothing stays great forever and nothing stays horrible forever. It feels like it when we're going through it! I think we are supposed to help others with our experiences and come to accept things the way they are. Including ourselves. Striving for true humility and being ok with what we have. Only took me 45 years to understand!
How are you supposed to know a different way if no one tells you? John Chow was doing the Lord's work, God tells us we are to spread the good word like Jesus did, Jesus also had repercussions for spreading the word of how we are to live. We are here to praise God daily. You don't have to believe me because the Holy Spirit is supposed to lead you to believe. Those that choose the wrong path aren't going to the promised land. I don't want to burn in hell for eternity! 😔
@@aliciaspencer1182 Imagine needing the threat of hell to be a good person! That's why I will always trust an atheist with no vested interest than any of your hypocritical lot thanks 😂
That Christian dude was out of his mind. On his last writing he even blamed the sentinelese for shooting him like wth. No forgiveness needed there like he's even trying to paint himself as a martyr for Pete's sakes. He's not even supposed to be there in the first place!
Only he knows if he was following God's commands though. God does ask some of us to do things that may seem crazy to others. It is what it is. I honestly hope that I would be devoted enough to do the same if it is God's will. Maybe he planted some seeds.
Agreed. “Satan’s Last Stronghold” lol EVERYWHERE on EARTH is Satan’s Stronghold. If he wanted to fight sin, there are plenty of places that won’t result in your death.
I agree. Who the heck is anyone to decide that another culture "needs" to learn about God? That's the height of egoism. Every culture has their own concept of God and should be left alone. It's wrong to force more "conventional" ways of worship on to anyone. So important in this case, is the risk of bringing germs to which these people have never been exposed, that could be fatal. Have you seen Medicine Man with Sean Connery? I know it's only a movie, but I believe its message is based in reality. I'm new to this channel and am very impressed.
That is wild to know that the anti venom is twice as painful as the initial bite! I thought it was just bug venoms having the numbing qualities, but perhaps that is why the anti venom hurt more? Did the doctors giving you the anti venom explain why it hurt more?
One of my beloved dogs, Hana who was probably 9 at the time, was bitten by a Copperhead. We were on a hike by a stream. We stopped and she put her nose into some bushes and all of a sudden bucked back viciously, shaking her head. I was like wtf just happened?! I peered into the bushes only to see that devil staring back at me. She has the perfect 2 little fang marks right on the tip of her nose and that venom worked quick! Her nose puffed up, she was so swollen and becoming lethargic. I had to get her out of the woods, more than a mile, and carried her for the last several yards. She was a Rhodesian Ridgeback so definitely not a small dog! My adrenaline was pumping! It happened to be Memorial Day or some other holiday so she had to go to the Emergency Vet. She stayed overnight, they were worried due to her age, but thankfully she made a full recovery. The Vet told me it was better that she got bit than me because he said I would never have made it out of the woods. I’ve hated snakes ever since!
One of our local politicians was bit by a copperhead _twice_ when removing campaign signs after the election. He was lucky to have someone with him to get him help. I know some would look at the word “politician” and be like _lol even the snakes do not like them_ because it was my first thought as a joke, but man … I still felt for the guy because that stuff is no joke that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. He is still recovering over it.
Hi Dark Case ,DC, I'm so glad you tried one more time and did this.I love your show DC .Please don't stop your on the right track now you got it right very right this time you have one of the very best shows on UA-cam!! Thank You and keep up the AWESOME SHOWS .
Some people spend their whole life searching for their spot and some never find it. I am really happy for you finding your spot. Good luck with all that you do
I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU & your ability to thrive through your channel/your creation. I also love love love this new format you're experimenting with -- "things you may later regret knowing," and the story format. It's gold, baby - keep it up, you always do anyway!
Thank you, DCD ❤❤❤ I cannot wait to see where this new series goes! The glitchy take on your opening theme gave me the chills. I'm so grateful you decided to become a creator, you are so talented and such a wonderful human being! I loved your little introduction. It truly touched my heart and even brought some tears to my eyes. Thank you for being you and for being here with us to give us this loving and accepting community 😉🥰
Thank you so much 🖤 Your username is always highly appreciated by me haha. I am so glad that the intro meant something to you - I was scared to put it out. I wasn't sure if it was a mistake to say it, but I am glad I did because of people like you!!
As well as who they decide to "do" in their bedrooms. Which way they vote, too. Not to mention who they think which race lives matter. Only fair, after all.
Pretty sure their whlle religion is based off a personal relationship with God. Maybe thats what they should be focused on instead if other peoples lives that don't effect them at all.
No, he didn't. He tried desperately to make a peace offering to open some type of communication with them so he could share the Gospel of Christ with them. No man has ever done great things in JESUS'S name without being willing to put everything on the line. And GOD will reward him richly for his faith, obedince, and sacrifice. All glory to Our King
Jesus told his followers to obey local laws. He broke the Indian Law that outlawed people contacting that tribe. His contact could kill that whole tribe by exposing them to disease they have no immunity to fight. I am glad they killed him for putting them at risk. After the first contact the English killed their people with illness. They figured out outsiders were dangerous. He broke the law and tried to force his beliefs on those who were not interested. He was an extremist and should've minded his own business. What an idiot!
Completely agree with you. He was trying to force Christianity on people who did not want to communicate with them, let alone be preached too. John got exactly what he had coming to him
@@AprilGarcia-sm4bi”peace offering” 😅😅 yours is one of the most ignorant comments I’ve ever read in my life. Not everyone wants Christianity forced on them! Which is exactly what John was trying to do. Sick man who got exactly what he deserved
@@DarkCaseDocumentaries Great telling of these stories. Apparently he could feel sea creatures swimming around him. Sharks or who knows? Terrifying! His expression after being rescued is incredible. Fear, relief, disbelief, etc. Thanks!
I've absolutely ZERO sympathy for the missionary that was trying to push his version of religion down others throats. He had absolutely ZIP respect for their way of life, and the fact that they simply wanted to keep to themselves. And so now he's dead. Chalk one up for yet another winner of the Darwin Awards, lol. Nimrod reaped what he sowed! 😂
Yes, it was very clear he knew he wasn't supposed to be going there and he went to great lengths to defy that. You would think he would have got the hint When they fired arrows and took his boat in previous visits. He is the one that kept going back even though they were not receptive to his cause.
Glad your channel is taking off and decided to give it one more try. Thoroughly enjoy your channel. Best of luck and cant wait to see what else comes from your future vids brotha 🤙🏾🤙🏾
@@RichardAugsten hypocrisy of main stream religion is that God is responsible for all tragedy, yet is allegedly perfect. God is in us and you are allegedly Christ-like, yet you are also full of sin every single day. What part of Christs body is full of sin? The eyes and ears hear the truth. God loves you and wants you to understand yourself as God through the word. You can make a heaven on earth or Hell. It’s all perspective. God in you releases you from the curse of believing everyone is a bunch of sinners and needs repaired. That you are somehow irreparably damaged bc of how your life is playing out. Living a life of guilt bc of these beliefs and lies. How entrapping.
He was definitely misguided, but would skip the gifts…although he meant well. Giving goods they otherwise would never have, or even just fish… can lead to a bunch of problems: potentially changing their practices, making them think all visitors have good intentions, causing division or fights over who gets to use the gifts and how, or may carry germs they have no natural immunity to.
@@RichardAugstenWell, Christianity does address that., with many Bible verses noting that “the rain falls on the good and bad,” and that you will face troubles in this life, with being “good with God” not exempting you. Just look at Jesus’ life. Jesus was asked several times if certain misfortunes (a tower collapse, blindness) happened to people because they were bad…and the answer was always “no.”
I do think John going into the jungle to try to convert folks was a lofty and idiotic goal. There is a plethora of other people they can reach out to, but he felt he should bring in whatever diseases he may have and his unknown language to convert? Why? Why was that necessary for him? Why not help folks in his own community, his own town?
My mum joined the Assemblies of God when she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She had a three year remission before passing away. She raised me Catholic but was telling me that I would go to hell after she converted. I humored her because of her condition but those interactions was the first step towards being an agnostic.
@@larae6885 Agnostics believe that they do not know if there’s a God or not. Atheists believe there is no God. So, basically it’s a difference of thinking there’s absolutely no God or just being unsure about God’s existence.
@@larae6885 I basically doubt that there are one or more deities out there, but don't completely rule it out because we are tiny folks on this tiny planet in this vast cosmos. Who really knows what is beyond our world?
The sheer juxtaposition regarding the rescue divers being absolute hero bad-azzes paralleled with the helium/oxygen/nitrogen mix making them sound like chipmunks is so funny 😊
I love the changes, that last story was a nail biter and it's amazing he made it, I'm so glad he did. I will most certainly keep watching your channel, thank you for all of your hard work and not giving up 💜
Leave people alone, we all have our own beliefs, these people probably have legends and beliefs passed down from hundreds of years too. What gives anyone the right to try and convert them ,and interfere with their lives. I think it's quite shocking that anyone who may not understand why they want to be left alone, would risk their life in this way, bring the tears for all their loved ones,just to try and force their beliefs and religion on a tribe. I really feel for his family.
I really enjoy listening to your voice telling these stories as hard as thry are to hear sometimes. Great intro. I'm a dedicated listener. Congratulations on your success
This is just a problem with all religions, to be fair (outside of religions with the “you have to be born into this” type of thing and aren’t too receptive of converts compared to those born into it). It’s the “white savior” complex, but in religious form - whites that think they need to be the voice for minorities as they can’t possibly speak for themselves without a more “educated” and “progressive” white person to _save_ them and lead the way (people that convince themselves they’re doing “good” but ultimately do way more harm than ever). Doubly so when it’s a white person deeply embedded in religion and tries to help those “brown people find god” - so many instances of religious groups going to tribes and pushing their nonsense under the disguise of helping. It’s all bullshite all around. People really need to just stay in their own lanes.
He wasn't forcing Jesus on them. The great commission is to go into the world and share the gospel. John wanted them to know Jesus and how much Jesus loves them.
Yep, their heads are so full of religious indoctrination and its accompanying nonsense, that there is no room for common sense, true compassion, or appreciation for the autonomy and free will of others. The sooner organized religion goes by the way of the dinosaurs, the better off the world will be.
@@judysmith3249yeah, and the idiocy that the likely fictional apostles preached got this young man killed. Not everyone cares to be brainwashed into believing in a zombie Jew who was invented by the Roman government.
I'm new 😁 I am so happy I gave this channel a chance. The video is so professional. Thank you for all your hard work. Now I'm gonna binge a few episodes because I'm hooked now. 😊
Hello Dark Case! I just found your video in my feed today. I listened to your intro and thought you were a kindred soul. So I am now subbed. The stories were just different enough from each other that it was like picking up a new book. It was difficult to watch the final story because of a drowning incident in my childhood, but I am so glad that I finished it. The man had nerves of steel. The surprise at finding him alive was priceless. I’m thankful that he survived and is living a good life. Since I haven’t seen your previous channels, I can say that you have done a fine job of presentation, background information, and staying unbiased. So, here we go. I will walk in the darkness with you for a time. Not everything in the dark is terrible and it’s nice to have a proverbial hand to hold. Thanks for sharing this with me. ❤ Brenda
I would love nothing more than to go for a dark ride with you into the unknown. Sounds AMAZING! I think most would agree that we’ll be sticking around for whatever darkness unfolds with you. Good luck in all your endeavors, you deserve it because YOU ARE A LEGEND MY FRIEND. ❤
When I started to play your video I realised I'd heard all the stories before (as happens so often on YT) so I considered skipping this one. However, for some strange reason I decided to give the vid a chance and am soooo glad I did. Your research, narration and delivery took these harrowing and horrific true life stories to a complete new level. I was engrossed, even tho I already knew the outcome of each character's ordeal! With so many different takes on the same 'repeat' stories, you did it your way which was surprisingly different and it works. That takes some doing. Well done!
@@jackmitchelles2646how do you know they don't know about God? They protected themselves. He knew he shouldn't be there. He knew his very presence could kill them, but he still went. Was his life more valuable than all of theirs?
A bit of change is a good thing! I love your channel and I click the notification bell for every video and am there as soon as it pops up! I think you do such a great job. You tell the story well and bring honor to the victims always. I think that many of us are crime junkies obviously but many times I find in these communities it is because we or someone we know was a victim of a violent crime and for myself it is both. I have been a victim of violent crime as well as my niece was raped and murdered by bludgeoning and I feel that maybe through all of these other stories being so appropriately shared we are able to try and understand the why's and how's in these terrible situations. Even if we don't find that understanding we are looking for it is still nice to know that we are not alone-although I wish these horrific crimes would cease completely, I know that is just not possible because some humans are just rotten to the core. The psychology of it all fascinates me as well. Congratulations on your success with this channel. I pray that it continues to grow and that you have tons of future success. I will always be clicking that like button and tuning in. Thank you for your time and effort put into this channel.
I am so so sorry about what happened to you and your niece, that is absolutely heartbreaking. I really do appreciate you being here and taking the time to writing this comment to me - it means a lot that you are willing to be so kind and open. Also - thank you for being the live chat too!!
I think this is one of the most interesting videos I have seen. I think he went along with good intentions. It’s sad but he had a lovely soul. Thank you for this, it was very good and even though sad, it was interesting and felt he would be helping others
Is it weird that i force myself to stop after the first case just so i can eke out the absolute enjoyment of this channel/content. I like to savour the joy of logging out of my reality and entering the reality of these. Loved this channel from the get-go. By far one of my favourites. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication. You deserve every good fortune and success. 💯❤️🇦🇽🖤
Thank you so much 🖤 I am really grateful that my words connected with you and so many others too! I was scared to put that intro out there and it means a lot that it touched so many of you :)
This is not an insult but a compliment... must confess I fall asleep to your calming, soothing voice often. Please keep up your excellent content, much appreciated.
Wow, that was not a mission of love. It was a mission of Ego. The Spirit is about self preservation above all. The Ego lead him right to his own demise in the most horrific way. I want to be clear on one thing, the Indigenous are closer to God than anyone can comprehend. They live within and understand the gifts of the Universe, they hear and feel God everyday.
Existence without all of the distractions and trappings of how the rest of the world live must leave them so much more connected to being humans if nothing else!
like his encounter is literally what the speaking in tongues bit is supposed to be, not gibberish they repeat in their churches. they are supposed to be understood by any language if they are preaching jesus word.
What you said is totally wrong. Speaking in tongues has nothing to do with people languages. I'm a Christian and I do not speak in tongues. Speaking in tongues is spiritual.
I have been subscribed to your channel for a couple of years now… But it took until this moment for me to join. I did it because I loved what you said at the opening of this video. I’ve always felt that understanding darkness makes it easier to not only see the light but to understand the light. Light and dark are two hands that go together. You can’t clap one hand… You need both. Thank you for not only these great videos which almost always lead to me searching out more info to the related topic.. But also a big thank you to you for the compassion and humanity that comes through in all your videos. The world always needs more love, compassion and humanity. ✌🏽❤️
I remember the footage of the guy rescued on the flipped vessel. So many things about that situation are just insane. Im glad he survived. The fact they found him before his oxygen ran out is just so many levels of insane
Oh, so he went to press his religious views on them. NOPE. That is how it begins. This is how everyone loses their autonomy and serenity. They come with crosses, and swords, and diseases, and new laws, and death. NO! LEAVE THEM ALONE! Leave on little tiny group unmolested. If you cannot offer food, without NEFARIOUS intentions, leave them alone.

I love you description of dark people I am one of those I was abused mentally and physically went through all kinds of near-death experiences 3 suicide attempts but I'm one of the nicest people you ever meet😊
I am blown away by all of these documentaries, but the second one scared me in the third one scared me even more. I’m so impressed with these people and I’m so impressed that you found these pieces of information that you were able to put together and bring to us just amazing. Love your new channel, I’ve always really loved your comment “ and other things you may later regret knowing” I’ve always thought that was great and I have to tell you I am absolutely laughing 1:04:18 about being an outcast. I don’t know about anybody else, but I think I’m perfectly normal. I think what I’m interested in is normal and I understand from other people that I’m a very cheerful and upbeat person and always seem to be happy. Sorry for the grammatical errors, any misspellings, and any run-on sentences. I’m having some visual problems so I can’t correct them all but you get my drift. I’m absolutely thrilled to see you here doing this and I am so impressed with these three things I just heard just absolutely wonderful. I wish you all the best and I do believe I’m really gonna jump over to Patreon a first For me. Keep up the phenomenal work am an old handed this and I have never heard those so that’s really impressive. You have no idea how impressive that is. Regards Denise San Francisco, California

I'm indigenous (native american) and the guy from the first story had been given clear warnings to not go but he felt his religious views took precedent over the privacy, health, and safety of the tribe. He shouldn't have gone period and what happened was not a surprise at all. Just let indigenous people exist without trying to force religion or other ideals on them.
Yeah…it was a terrible idea (for many reasons) …but imagine if you were raised since childhood to believe that a group of people will burn in hell forever, or at least never reach Heaven/peace,…..UNLESS you go save them.
Some TRULY believe that. Or they absolutely believe an infinitely powerful being just told them to do something.
And some forms of epilepsy/temporal lobe defects can predispose to, or manifest as religiosity….and this guy was having religious visions.
So…it was dead wrong, but I think he did it mainly out of misguided belief that this was “helping,” not mainly out of ego or wanting to force “his way” on others.
His father has a lot of nerve blaming everybody else for his son's actions. His parents brought up the boy up, and raised him to believe he had the right to impose his beliefs on others. All this without the consent of the people who didn't want him, or the local government who protects this tribe from intervention. The son was an adult who made his own decisions that had fatal consequences. Blame nobody but your son. He proceeded, knowing what he was doing was illegal and unwanted.
Thanks for projecting your Atheism and depression onto others
Telling somebody about something isn't synonymous with forcing your beliefs onto them
If you actually knew the tribes,you'd likely find them despicable
Christianity basically eradicated vile practices like child sacrifice and cannibalism btw

@@gNome_5 in other words - christian missionaries - no one ever needed them, yet they came anyways and destroyed lives and cultures where they went - all in the "name" of a god you shall not name and a man, who may have lived over 2000 years ago, fathered by said god through a 15/16-year-old girl, who at that time, should have been betrothed to an 80-year old man - if you ever wondered why they were refused to stay at the inn and were covered the stabled instead, that's the case - according to apocryphal scripture was baby Jesus Mary's super sweet 16 miracle baby

Seems these "Christians" worship the Bible, and not God.
"worshipping god is a private thing" is such a good line. I don't worship any god and personally have no quarrel when people do it privately. Obviously, I have friends with specific religious needs (like Muslims and Jews) and I'm happy to respect things like dietary needs but at the same time they never say a word about my lifestyle because it's private.

The tribe wasn't "aggressive", John Chow was the aggressor. The tribe were merely acting within their right to self preservation.
Foreigners out
By the very definition of the word, they were.
yet if white people tried the same they'd be labeled aggressive
Absolutely! They were behaving in a _defensive_ manner. And, the shot that hit him, was a firm warning shot. The kid could've easily deleted him but chose other wise. I mean, what do these people think!? A weird, pale skinned man with a funny hat from a far away land, in a kayak, spouting Christian hymns?? Trying to push their pale skinned god upon them?!? 🤔
Common sense has literally vanished from the majority of the world. Not sure how, or why? I just know common sense is _not_ as common as it used to be. Same with critical thinking, not many people can do it any more, they just believe whatever they hear and do as they're told.
oh no no no no...the Senegalese will kill anyone who comes close. This story does not say much about them, its from John's point of view. It is well known that people must stay away for their own safety. Thats why John was so unbelievably stupid.
I honestly believe that it was simply John Chau's ego that got him killed.
If that were the case he wouldn't have been prepared to die. He knew that was a big possibility regardless of anything he did or said to try and convince those islanders that he meant no harm. And he wouldn't have told his family to forgive his killers either. It wasn't ego. It was his love for God and his children that he died for which for a Christian, it is a win actually. For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. - Philippians 1:21. It wasn't a loss as long as he was truly following God's commands and doing his work which I believe is a big possibility. But only God knew his true heart.

I agree @head comment It's best to let people be. Most definitely if they don't know why we show up..they may have thought he was bad news...but may this man rest in peace. 💙
The absolute arrogance and hubris of John Chow. For him to think that the Sentinelese people, who have been living and dying and surviving on this island for thousands of years without any outside interference, needed HIM to come and "save" them.. It honestly boggles the mind!
I agree. I was disgusted when hearing John's journal entries. He was egotistical and idiotic by going to a place that was so blatantly restricted for everyone's benefit. His decisions, no matter how well-intentioned, were stupid and full of self-interest
The carelessness as well. He could've killed all those people with a run-of-the-mill sickness our bodies are used to, but the Sentinelese have never been exposed to.
Yea how dare him try to bring them eternal salvation through love and peace without weapons or anything but his goodwill.
@@jimboiswaiting he was not wanted there and he knew it. He knew he was breaking the law by trying to approach the island. The laws are in place to protect the sentinelese people from diseases which we have immunity to but they do not. He could have wiped out the entire island with an illness that they had no immunity to. The laws are also in place to protect people from being killed by the sentinelese because they are notoriously aggressive when it comes to outsiders trying to infiltrate their island. They fired warning shots (arrows) towards him when they first saw him. How much more obvious could it be that he wasn't welcome on their island? Also, he didn't speak their language. How was he going to communicate with them? He showed up uninvited with the intentions of shoving his religion down their throats for his own prideful purposes. He had no respect for the people of that island. If he did he would have left as soon as they fired off the first few arrows at him and taken the hint that he was not wanted there. Instead he allowed his arrogance, his pride, his belief that HIS god was better than THEIR god, get him killed. It's hard to have sympathy for him or anyone like him.
You just want to hate the guy because of reasons that you don't understand except to side with resentment and romanticize Rousseaunism
Why can’t Westeners and especially religious groups leave other cultures alone respect their spiritual beliefs and get over their own aragance and hubris Honestly I have no sympathy for missionaries who do not fare well
Im a westerner and have never, not once thought very highly of them. To me, they showed who they really are running those indian schools where children were abused, confused and murdered. Just like the Spaniards with the Aztecs and Mayans
You obviously have NO CLUE how much life saving good those “undeserving “ missionaries do ! … or maybe you do and you’re just a cold callus atheist with no love for people as these missionaries do 🤔
That's what Christianity historically has done. It has gone into various areas of the world, extinguished the local expressions of spirituality and replaced it with Christianity. I live in England and exactly the same thing happened here. It just happened in an early period of history. There was the indigenous Druidism of the Celtic tribes and the Woden worshipping Anglo-Saxon variant of Germanic/Norse Paganism. These Christian expansionists vandalised my ancestors' beliefs too.

that first story honestly pisses me off a lot. there’s a reason uncontancted tribes STAY that way. i know that he did that whole quarantine thing, but let’s be honest, that probably did hardly anything. he was putting that whole tribe at risk for what? to try and spread a religion? those people were living perfectly fine lives. please just keep your religion to yourself and don’t force it on other people

Welcome to the Dark Case Family 🖤
John Chow learned a valuable lesson that he unfortunately won't be able to share: You may have a message, a message that you want to share, if you insist this message needs to be shared, beware some people don't want to hear it and will ensure that message stays with you eternally.

@@Frosty_Jay dayum straight
Yep. Pure arrogance.
Real talk, people should just leave the Sentinelese alone. They stand on business 😂
I’m thinking that tribe would have had their own religion and Gods! They should be left alone.
I infinitely agree 🙌
Christians believe spreading the “word” is a, literal, DEMAND in the Bible….They can’t just “leave them alone.”….It would go against everything they believe.
I DO NOT believe, but can respect their passion. This man was ok with giving up his life for his beliefs…. People keep acting like the indigenous people were the ones murdered…. 🤷♀️
Many Christians believe that those who die in ignorance of the gospel will be accepted into heaven by default. Conversely, those who have heard the gospel but reject it will go to hell.
Seems like it would be better to leave people alone. A missionary is just ensuring that some percentage will go to hell.
They can believe what ever they want!!!! no one cares!!! :P

@@DarkCaseDocumentaries that’s so great to hear! Just remember. True Crime is all over the place on UA-cam now. BUT. It does NOT have to be true crime related to be a “Dark Case Documentary”!! And most true crime channels just stick to true crime. And we as fans hear the same stories over and over from different creators. So I love that you took a risk and branched out. I REALLY hope this new format is something you will mix in to your crime videos and I hope it’s a giant success for you!
@@DarkCaseDocumentaries@nofury555 perfectly said! Especially regarding the fact that Dark Cases are in no way, shape, or form absolutely inclusive with true crime. For instance, things that would absolutely fall under *things that I'd also drop all and run to you for would include, but obvi not limited to "the Dark side" if you will😅, of Greek (or rather any) mythology, origin stories of those who were/are in places of higher authorities, legends, bands, celebrities... the possibilities are absolutely endless! In fact, you could create Seasons of a specified group and episodes of those who/that fall under them.. your way of storytelling would absolutely kill that! Pun Def intended! 😂😂 happy to hear your voice AND happy to see u grow!
@@DarkCaseDocumentaries look in to exorcisms gone wrong. But stay away from the over-reported ones like Anneliese Michel. Which has been covered SO many times. BUT the topic of demonic possessions and exorcisms is VERY real and for SURE would classify as “Dark”. There are so many topics you could cover as dark cases. Like forced or fraudulent adoptions. Child trafficking for purpose of labor etc. just expand your thoughts and think of some of the darkest possible things. Like big corporations hidden secrets that people have died over. And if you find one that hasn’t been covered on 10000 channels, that would be EPIC!!

I'm diggin this channel too :) Thank you. After reading your post , I thought,damn, I feel that way sometimes too. Well I used to. I've come to realize that life is all about perception. How we view an experience largely shapes the outcome. Nothing stays great forever and nothing stays horrible forever. It feels like it when we're going through it! I think we are supposed to help others with our experiences and come to accept things the way they are. Including ourselves. Striving for true humility and being ok with what we have. Only took me 45 years to understand!
Wow that is so touching. Wish more people were like you❤️
John chow was arrogant in his assumption that his way is the only way. Leave people alone to find their own path.
How are you supposed to know a different way if no one tells you? John Chow was doing the Lord's work, God tells us we are to spread the good word like Jesus did, Jesus also had repercussions for spreading the word of how we are to live. We are here to praise God daily. You don't have to believe me because the Holy Spirit is supposed to lead you to believe. Those that choose the wrong path aren't going to the promised land.

Missionaries never seem to learn that their little book won't do shit for them when natives with bows and arrows show up...
It stopped one arrow. One would have thought he'd have taken it as a sign; you have a second chance, get out now. But it seems he was pretty dense.
As a Christian, God gave each of us a brain, he expects us to use it.
The first story is a classic example of f*** around and find out. Leave these precious people alone. Btw, I love your narration and you got my sub.
I agree. Who the heck is anyone to decide that another culture "needs" to learn about God? That's the height of egoism. Every culture has their own concept of God and should be left alone. It's wrong to force more "conventional" ways of worship on to anyone. So important in this case, is the risk of bringing germs to which these people have never been exposed, that could be fatal. Have you seen Medicine Man with Sean Connery? I know it's only a movie, but I believe its message is based in reality. I'm new to this channel and am very impressed.
I am also a snake bite survivor. Was bitten by a copperhead and the anti venom hurt twice as worse as the bite.
Wow 😱
Are there any after effects down the road?
Are you snake-phobic now? I’m glad you survived! 🌸🫶💕😁👍
That is wild to know that the anti venom is twice as painful as the initial bite! I thought it was just bug venoms having the numbing qualities, but perhaps that is why the anti venom hurt more? Did the doctors giving you the anti venom explain why it hurt more?
One of my beloved dogs, Hana who was probably 9 at the time, was bitten by a Copperhead. We were on a hike by a stream. We stopped and she put her nose into some bushes and all of a sudden bucked back viciously, shaking her head. I was like wtf just happened?! I peered into the bushes only to see that devil staring back at me. She has the perfect 2 little fang marks right on the tip of her nose and that venom worked quick! Her nose puffed up, she was so swollen and becoming lethargic. I had to get her out of the woods, more than a mile, and carried her for the last several yards. She was a Rhodesian Ridgeback so definitely not a small dog! My adrenaline was pumping! It happened to be Memorial Day or some other holiday so she had to go to the Emergency Vet. She stayed overnight, they were worried due to her age, but thankfully she made a full recovery. The Vet told me it was better that she got bit than me because he said I would never have made it out of the woods.
I’ve hated snakes ever since!
One of our local politicians was bit by a copperhead _twice_ when removing campaign signs after the election. He was lucky to have someone with him to get him help.
I know some would look at the word “politician” and be like _lol even the snakes do not like them_ because it was my first thought as a joke, but man … I still felt for the guy because that stuff is no joke that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. He is still recovering over it.
@@suitejodi the snake is NOT the devil! My dog has been bitten too but snakes don't want to waste their venom, it's how they procure food.

Jesus told his followers to obey local laws. He broke the Indian Law that outlawed people contacting that tribe. His contact could kill that whole tribe by exposing them to disease they have no immunity to fight. I am glad they killed him for putting them at risk. After the first contact the English killed their people with illness. They figured out outsiders were dangerous. He broke the law and tried to force his beliefs on those who were not interested. He was an extremist and should've minded his own business. What an idiot!
Completely agree with you. He was trying to force Christianity on people who did not want to communicate with them, let alone be preached too. John got exactly what he had coming to him
@@AprilGarcia-sm4bi”peace offering” 😅😅 yours is one of the most ignorant comments I’ve ever read in my life. Not everyone wants Christianity forced on them! Which is exactly what John was trying to do. Sick man who got exactly what he deserved

Yes, it was very clear he knew he wasn't supposed to be going there and he went to great lengths to defy that. You would think he would have got the hint When they fired arrows and took his boat in previous visits. He is the one that kept going back even though they were not receptive to his cause.

@@DarkCaseDocumentaries I'm probably up to 50+ views. I share it endlessly and each time I still get shivers.
Right!
Poor guy. His fire for God blinded the brain God gave him in the first place. It would have been enough to just leave the gifts alone.Rest his soul.
And why didn't God protect him? Where was he in all of this? No where.
@@RichardAugsten hypocrisy of main stream religion is that God is responsible for all tragedy, yet is allegedly perfect. God is in us and you are allegedly Christ-like, yet you are also full of sin every single day.
What part of Christs body is full of sin?
The eyes and ears hear the truth. God loves you and wants you to understand yourself as God through the word. You can make a heaven on earth or Hell. It’s all perspective. God in you releases you from the curse of believing everyone is a bunch of sinners and needs repaired. That you are somehow irreparably damaged bc of how your life is playing out. Living a life of guilt bc of these beliefs and lies. How entrapping.
@@brandymobileblah blah blah blah
He was definitely misguided, but would skip the gifts…although he meant well.
Giving goods they otherwise would never have, or even just fish… can lead to a bunch of problems: potentially changing their practices, making them think all visitors have good intentions, causing division or fights over who gets to use the gifts and how, or may carry germs they have no natural immunity to.
@@RichardAugstenWell, Christianity does address that., with many Bible verses noting that “the rain falls on the good and bad,” and that you will face troubles in this life, with being “good with God” not exempting you. Just look at Jesus’ life.
Jesus was asked several times if certain misfortunes (a tower collapse, blindness) happened to people because they were bad…and the answer was always “no.”
I do think John going into the jungle to try to convert folks was a lofty and idiotic goal. There is a plethora of other people they can reach out to, but he felt he should bring in whatever diseases he may have and his unknown language to convert? Why? Why was that necessary for him? Why not help folks in his own community, his own town?
My mum joined the Assemblies of God when she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She had a three year remission before passing away. She raised me Catholic but was telling me that I would go to hell after she converted. I humored her because of her condition but those interactions was the first step towards being an agnostic.
@@ewarrior9776 do u mind telling me the difference between agnostic and atheist?
@@larae6885 Agnostics believe that they do not know if there’s a God or not. Atheists believe there is no God. So, basically it’s a difference of thinking there’s absolutely no God or just being unsure about God’s existence.
@larae6885I'm I'm a hard agnostic: I don't see any good evidence for God, and neither do you.
@@themysteryofbluebirdboulevard this didn't answer my question edgelord
@@larae6885 I basically doubt that there are one or more deities out there, but don't completely rule it out because we are tiny folks on this tiny planet in this vast cosmos. Who really knows what is beyond our world?
My nephew flew to Africa 2 years ago to learn their percussion technics. He loved it. Seeing beautiful country and food.
*techniques
The sheer juxtaposition regarding the rescue divers being absolute hero bad-azzes paralleled with the helium/oxygen/nitrogen mix making them sound like chipmunks is so funny 😊
Yeah, I considered editing them down an octave or two but didn't want to mess with the reality of it. It is very weirdly hilarious.
Never been happier to see such results! Story 1 is the best!
Omg that intro was amazing! Looking forward to being part of the new outcasts 😉
Thank you so much Kim 🖤
Love this new format. 💜💜 You could narrate the encyclopedia and I’d still listen faithfully!
Thank you so much Brey! I might invest in a an encyclopedia then haha.
Such amazing quality, youve gone so far, best wishes for the future!!
Thank you so so much 🖤
One of your best video's! thanks for opening up
Thank you so much 🖤 it means a lot that you took the time to write this! I was scared to put this video out!
We're back! Woohoo!
We're back baybeh!!!
I love the changes, that last story was a nail biter and it's amazing he made it, I'm so glad he did. I will most certainly keep watching your channel, thank you for all of your hard work and not giving up 💜
Thank you so much Lilly! Comments like this mean a lot. I spent a month questioning whether this was the right thing to do :)
I'm totally here for it! Also this was really brave and I'm proud of you and really happy you did it!
Leave people alone, we all have our own beliefs, these people probably have legends and beliefs passed down from hundreds of years too. What gives anyone the right to try and convert them ,and interfere with their lives. I think it's quite shocking that anyone who may not understand why they want to be left alone, would risk their life in this way, bring the tears for all their loved ones,just to try and force their beliefs and religion on a tribe. I really feel for his family.
I've watched two of your episodes and I've noticed that it shows to humanity in people 's face love and God in the greatest challenges of their lives
I really enjoy listening to your voice telling these stories as hard as thry are to hear sometimes. Great intro. I'm a dedicated listener. Congratulations on your success
Thank you so much, it means a lot!!
Can't let people just live in peace right? Gotta force Jesus into their lives.
This is just a problem with all religions, to be fair (outside of religions with the “you have to be born into this” type of thing and aren’t too receptive of converts compared to those born into it).
It’s the “white savior” complex, but in religious form - whites that think they need to be the voice for minorities as they can’t possibly speak for themselves without a more “educated” and “progressive” white person to _save_ them and lead the way (people that convince themselves they’re doing “good” but ultimately do way more harm than ever). Doubly so when it’s a white person deeply embedded in religion and tries to help those “brown people find god” - so many instances of religious groups going to tribes and pushing their nonsense under the disguise of helping. It’s all bullshite all around.
People really need to just stay in their own lanes.
He wasn't forcing Jesus on them. The great commission is to go into the world and share the gospel. John wanted them to know Jesus and how much Jesus loves them.
@judysmith3249 well they didn't want that b.s. it was illegal to fuck with them and he got what he deserved
Yep, their heads are so full of religious indoctrination and its accompanying nonsense, that there is no room for common sense, true compassion, or appreciation for the autonomy and free will of others. The sooner organized religion goes by the way of the dinosaurs, the better off the world will be.
@@judysmith3249yeah, and the idiocy that the likely fictional apostles preached got this young man killed. Not everyone cares to be brainwashed into believing in a zombie Jew who was invented by the Roman government.
My Lord, be with us always and in all ways!💝🙏
I'm new 😁 I am so happy I gave this channel a chance. The video is so professional. Thank you for all your hard work. Now I'm gonna binge a few episodes because I'm hooked now. 😊
Thank you so so much!
Welcome to the Dark Case Family 🖤
Hello Dark Case! I just found your video in my feed today. I listened to your intro and thought you were a kindred soul. So I am now subbed. The stories were just different enough from each other that it was like picking up a new book. It was difficult to watch the final story because of a drowning incident in my childhood, but I am so glad that I finished it. The man had nerves of steel. The surprise at finding him alive was priceless. I’m thankful that he survived and is living a good life.
Since I haven’t seen your previous channels, I can say that you have done a fine job of presentation, background information, and staying unbiased. So, here we go. I will walk in the darkness with you for a time. Not everything in the dark is terrible and it’s nice to have a proverbial hand to hold. Thanks for sharing this with me. ❤ Brenda
Welcome back!!! Of course we wanna hear you talk! Sigh.... I am right where you were now.
Haha thank you so much 🖤
Your intro is very inspiring! I am at a crossroads in my life right now and what you shared with us really gave me hope!
Can't wait to see whats in store for us!I watch and listen with intense curiosity anticipation!
Thank you Lynn!!
I would love nothing more than to go for a dark ride with you into the unknown. Sounds AMAZING! I think most would agree that we’ll be sticking around for whatever darkness unfolds with you. Good luck in all your endeavors, you deserve it because YOU ARE A LEGEND MY FRIEND. ❤
Thank you so much Aubrey! You're the legend here!
John’s story is a great lesson in the brutality of EGO.
There was no ego. John Allen Chau was a good man who just wanted to spread the word of God
I absolutely love Harrison's story, how amazing was that? He sounds like an amazing human being.
It's absolutely unbelievable - unreal strength!
And....all the other people that died weren't amazing enough? Okay.
Thanks DCD,i enjoyed the new format...keepem comin mate.
Thank you Dom!! I am not stopping any time soon :)
@@DarkCaseDocumentaries Thats good to hear.Have you ever done a case from The Potteries?
When I started to play your video I realised I'd heard all the stories before (as happens so often on YT) so I considered skipping this one. However, for some strange reason I decided to give the vid a chance and am soooo glad I did. Your research, narration and delivery took these harrowing and horrific true life stories to a complete new level. I was engrossed, even tho I already knew the outcome of each character's ordeal! With so many different takes on the same 'repeat' stories, you did it your way which was surprisingly different and it works. That takes some doing. Well done!
That tribe has a better idea of what God is than any cult in today's society. What makes you think they need guidance lol 😂
Agreed. They seem pretty badass to me. 😄
How can you know that???
They murdered a man who just wanted to spread the word of God
@@jackmitchelles2646how do you know they don't know about God? They protected themselves. He knew he shouldn't be there. He knew his very presence could kill them, but he still went. Was his life more valuable than all of theirs?
A bit of change is a good thing! I love your channel and I click the notification bell for every video and am there as soon as it pops up! I think you do such a great job. You tell the story well and bring honor to the victims always. I think that many of us are crime junkies obviously but many times I find in these communities it is because we or someone we know was a victim of a violent crime and for myself it is both. I have been a victim of violent crime as well as my niece was raped and murdered by bludgeoning and I feel that maybe through all of these other stories being so appropriately shared we are able to try and understand the why's and how's in these terrible situations. Even if we don't find that understanding we are looking for it is still nice to know that we are not alone-although I wish these horrific crimes would cease completely, I know that is just not possible because some humans are just rotten to the core. The psychology of it all fascinates me as well. Congratulations on your success with this channel. I pray that it continues to grow and that you have tons of future success. I will always be clicking that like button and tuning in. Thank you for your time and effort put into this channel.
I am so so sorry about what happened to you and your niece, that is absolutely heartbreaking.
I really do appreciate you being here and taking the time to writing this comment to me - it means a lot that you are willing to be so kind and open.
Also - thank you for being the live chat too!!
I think this is one of the most interesting videos I have seen. I think he went along with good intentions. It’s sad but he had a lovely soul. Thank you for this, it was very good and even though sad, it was interesting and felt he would be helping others
*DARK CASE DOCUMENTARIES!! You’re totally killing it!! I LOVE THE NEW FORMAT!!*
Is it weird that i force myself to stop after the first case just so i can eke out the absolute enjoyment of this channel/content. I like to savour the joy of logging out of my reality and entering the reality of these. Loved this channel from the get-go. By far one of my favourites. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication. You deserve every good fortune and success. 💯❤️🇦🇽🖤
Thank you so much!! Kind words like this really do make my days easier and happier! I appreciate you!
I love love loved your short speech at the beginning. Described me to a t. I appreciate this channel, what you to and all of the members!!! 🤘
Thank you so much 🖤 I am really grateful that my words connected with you and so many others too!
I was scared to put that intro out there and it means a lot that it touched so many of you :)
This is not an insult but a compliment... must confess I fall asleep to your calming, soothing voice often. Please keep up your excellent content, much appreciated.
Thank you - I definitely take it as a compliment.
Wow, that was not a mission of love. It was a mission of Ego. The Spirit is about self preservation above all. The Ego lead him right to his own demise in the most horrific way. I want to be clear on one thing, the Indigenous are closer to God than anyone can comprehend. They live within and understand the gifts of the Universe, they hear and feel God everyday.
Existence without all of the distractions and trappings of how the rest of the world live must leave them so much more connected to being humans if nothing else!
@@DarkCaseDocumentaries Absolutely. Both comments.
like his encounter is literally what the speaking in tongues bit is supposed to be, not gibberish they repeat in their churches. they are supposed to be understood by any language if they are preaching jesus word.
You taught me something new there!
What you said is totally wrong. Speaking in tongues has nothing to do with people languages. I'm a Christian and I do not speak in tongues. Speaking in tongues is spiritual.
@@judysmith3249 then what is the point and what is the test that they are actually speaking and not mumbling?
Three crazy true stories. It's good to hear your voice again. Thank you Dark Case Documentaries 💠
Thank you so much Erica - I always love seeing your name pop up!
I have been subscribed to your channel for a couple of years now… But it took until this moment for me to join. I did it because I loved what you said at the opening of this video. I’ve always felt that understanding darkness makes it easier to not only see the light but to understand the light. Light and dark are two hands that go together. You can’t clap one hand… You need both. Thank you for not only these great videos which almost always lead to me searching out more info to the related topic.. But also a big thank you to you for the compassion and humanity that comes through in all your videos. The world always needs more love, compassion and humanity. ✌🏽❤️
Thank you so so much
Welcome to the family love!!❤
@@AlainaRene87 Thank you for the greeting and kindness. ✌🏽❤️
Imagine all the sick shit that takes place in civilized society but thinking some people that live solitary lives as being "Satan's last stronghold"
I am wondering why he didn't attempt to enter North Korea and try that crap.
I remember the footage of the guy rescued on the flipped vessel. So many things about that situation are just insane. Im glad he survived. The fact they found him before his oxygen ran out is just so many levels of insane
Oh, so he went to press his religious views on them. NOPE. That is how it begins. This is how everyone loses their autonomy and serenity. They come with crosses, and swords, and diseases, and new laws, and death. NO! LEAVE THEM ALONE! Leave on little tiny group unmolested. If you cannot offer food, without NEFARIOUS intentions, leave them alone.
This is my most favorite video on UA-cam. Thank you and your work.
Aww that's so kind :) Thank you so much 🖤
Yes Made My day
Sheer racism. This guy expected the natives to run to him like happy black children. Instead, they were not pleased.
Soundtrack: "I am a Bunny", by The Dave Howard Singers.
There was no racism. John Allen Chau was a good man who just wanted to spread the word of God
Wow that's so scary being stuck in a toilet room upside down for 3 days with no hopes of being rescued
I love you description of dark people I am one of those I was abused mentally and physically went through all kinds of near-death experiences 3 suicide attempts but I'm one of the nicest people you ever meet😊
Yes please. I love me some all things OUTCAST!
I am blown away by all of these documentaries, but the second one scared me in the third one scared me even more. I’m so impressed with these people and I’m so impressed that you found these pieces of information that you were able to put together and bring to us just amazing. Love your new channel, I’ve always really loved your comment “ and other things you may later regret knowing” I’ve always thought that was great and I have to tell you I am absolutely laughing 1:04:18 about being an outcast. I don’t know about anybody else, but I think I’m perfectly normal. I think what I’m interested in is normal and I understand from other people that I’m a very cheerful and upbeat person and always seem to be happy. Sorry for the grammatical errors, any misspellings, and any run-on sentences. I’m having some visual problems so I can’t correct them all but you get my drift. I’m absolutely thrilled to see you here doing this and I am so impressed with these three things I just heard just absolutely wonderful. I wish you all the best and I do believe I’m really gonna jump over to Patreon a first For me. Keep up the phenomenal work am an old handed this and I have never heard those so that’s really impressive. You have no idea how impressive that is.
Regards
