The bad reputation of UK food is a 20th century phenomenon, and came about as a result of food shortages in both World Wars. Many countries experienced similar food shortages, but British governments decided to concentrate their efforts on minimum calorific intake above everything else.
My four old son went missing once and I frantically searched the house for him, the doors were all locked, I even looked inside the washer, dryer, dishwasher and all the cabinets, I finally went outside and asked a neighbor if he had seen my boy, he calmly told me to check his bed, there I found him, asleep, on top of his Star Wars bedspread, I learned a lesson that day, check the place the child was most comfortable.
Wilmer McLean, 5/3/1814 - 6/5/1882, was an American wholesale grocer from VA. In short, his houses were both involved in one of the first and one of the last encounters of the American Civil War. His house, near Manassas, VA, was involved in the First Battle of Bull Run in 1861. After the battle, he moved to Appomattox, VA, to escape the war, thinking that it would be safe. Instead, in 1865, General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant in McLean's house in Appomattox.
Another curiosity is that Hopkins went to a bookstore store on Charing Cross Road looking for the book he wanted to read prior to the film. Hopkins was in a film with Ann Bancroft called "84 Charing Cross Road" where he worked at a bookstore at that same address. Excellent film btw.
Excellent film if you were a bookstore buff yourself IT was a great place to make friends I'm going back to the sixties but you had hundreds of second hand bookshops especially here in Dublin Ireland 😉 it was a poor country compared to today different Ireland I remember the first time I saw A Black person I was about 6/7 just before JFK arrived for his visit before the dreadful Day in Dallas but there were absolutely no black people in Dublin and as regards the countryside forget about it THEY would have barricade the doors of the town 😂😂😂 even in the hospitals you wouldn't see A Black person no FOREIGNERS in Ireland in them days but it was an extremely Poor POOR country
My mother had to give up her first born back in the 60s but always tried looking for her all the way up until we lost her in 2011 never of gotten to see her. Me and my other older sister, five yrs older than me, lost our younger sister (only 3 yrs old) back in early 80s due to an accident along with our great grandmother. My younger sisters name was Angela. Well about 6 yrs ago my long lost sister found us through DNA type websites. We lived in south Georgia all this time and come to find out she even lived like an hour from us at one time and this was back when my mother was alive. Well my long lost sister lives in Oklahoma now, she only lived here in Georgia briefly. Oh and her name is Angela also. That was the name her adopted parents gave her when she was adopted. I’d literally give anything for my mother to get to meet her. That is all she ever wanted in life.
My brother was our foster child when he was a high school freshman, we had to pit him in a new school, first day he met a boy who was also a new student, as they were talking, the new boy told my brother where he had moved from, my brother said that he had a childhood girlfriend who had moved to that town, the new friend told him that he had left behind his girlfriend and they both said the girl’s name was Susan, it was the same girl! My brother and this boy ( now man) are still friends and both found Susan on Facebook.
I myself have touched the table that the Civil War surrendered was signed on. It's in a museum in Chicago. It had been given to General Custers wife and she donated it to the museum.
What a coincidence, I touched myself near the table that the Marvel Civil War movie's script was written on! It was in General's Custard, a custard store in Chicago near a museum.
@@thelunchlady8276 Coincidentally, the policeman arresting you for touching yourself was named George Armstrong, which are the first two names of General Custer.
I used to read the Beano comics a lot as a kid and the American Dennis the Menace was pretty much unknown in the UK but the film came out here and I remember seeing it in the TV guide and I remember how confused I was to see a blonde haired kid.
1865 yes, but actually, I do believe the march was led by an overly obsessive Eric Cartman and his drunken Civil War re-enactment followers. ...Heh! Yeah, that was a good episode...lol
I signed up to this groups patreon to help fund them as i felt they had a good channel that was quite informative. But now im seeing more and more lackluster presenting filled with the most simplest mistakes. I think its now time to revoke my patreon membership and given it to another more deserving account.
The "versions" of Dennis The Menace are mutually exclusive and was merely a coincidence. The UK one was a character from The Beano comic book (that I subscribed to as a kid), along with Minnie The Minx, Roger The Dodger, Ill Will and several others. It wasn't until the US one had a cartoon series on TV that we knew of him as just "Dennis," since Dennis The Menace was copyrighted in the UK--there wasn't a cartoon of our Beano characters until the late 90s.
Ok ok hold up, let's pump the break for a sec here.. when did the memo, email, perhaps a txt message go out that assured us all that everything you are and hear on UA-cam is 100% percent true, and you will be forced to take an exam on the content and if you get the answer wrong your going to be sentenced to the worst of all fates imaginable.. This channel puts out 1 video everyday.. sometimes even more then 1. They are made for emterainment.. who cares if there's a few mistakes. How many channels do this same topic. At this point I'm just happy to hear something I haven't yet. some new material, you can pic 3 channels and they are all discussing the same old crap content.. I like a channel that has new stuff and the voice isn't intolerable and entertains me for a little bit to not be dwelling over real life issues... Hey, at least I wasn't that guy today ... Today could of been alot worse 🤷

@UnicornSpoonie, you may be O.C., but you're not a "disorder". None of us are. I'm very O.C. It's odd, to all of the O.C.s that I know, for our "lifestyle choices" to be called "disorder", when it's just the opposite.

The photo story reminds me of another story where a man showed his new bride a picture of him as a child visiting Disney World and she recognized herself in the background.
Sure, you relate the famous 'separated at birth' twin story. I worked for a unit in a State office that handled the Adoption Registry. This was where adopted persons and birth mothers could register to meet. We heard about a set of twins girls who had been separated. The agency that handled the adoptions had made sure to not place them with families in the same town. However, one set of parents later moved to the same town the others lived in. These girls met in high school. The various friends of the two had been telling them how much they looked like the other. One of the girls had not been told she was adopted. After they had become friends that girl learned and when they were adults went back to the adoption agency who, while they obviously wouldn't tell who the birth mother was, they did say they were sisters... since it was pretty obvious they were. Another story I heard was from a man who did work for the same State agency, but not in the State offices. He had grown up in El Paso and had a lot of friends in the neighborhood who everyone thought he was one of the many cousins who did live and were friends. He later learned he was, indeed, related to these people.
You made a "slight' error with the Year. It was 1865, NOT 1965. And I SHOULD KNOW, because I was born that year and I'm NOT quite as old as the Civil War! 🥸
What was so mysterious and creepy about the McClean story? But I also want to point out that you stated McClean's family lived in TWO successive 🏠s in the Manassas area during the war; each one on the battlefield of the TWO Bull Run battles. So the "surrender 🏠" at Appomattox would have been their THIRD.
The UK Dennis does learn from his actions and he rarely causes mischief on purpose, he's very independent and usually has one scheme or other designed to get his own way, he almost never intends anyone to be hurt or embarrassed by his pranks, shenanigans just tended to erupt and he has to put his wits to solving the problems he has created. That's the basic format of every strip, Dennis unintentionally causes and issue with his antics and then has to use those same antics to undo what he's done. The perfect comic strip for a wee tearaway causing havoc throughout the Scottish 90s. Good times.
38:13 yes it does, a significant part of my career as an archivist has been to solve really weird mysteries. If you want weird history look into local history, it’s where you find the weird stuff like the town that had the first ostrich farm in America also produced barbed wire that was present at the first atomic bomb
They were plantations, they owned it hence the two words going together. History is full of "slavers", whites, blacks, asian we all have history of being slaves and owning them in some cases. Doesn't make it right but it happened and is still happening today in some parts of the world. The first man to own slaves in what would one day be the USA was himself a black man. Or so they say. But from the start hundreds/thousands of years ago the act of owning another human being against their will was/is sin. But that's because we are all slaves to sin. That's why Jesus came.
If we are talking about weird coincidences here. I always consider Benjamin Britten and Sid James. Both men were born in 1913 and died the same year of heart attacks (1976), both men were a spitting image of each other and both were involved in controversies regarding their personal lives, if that isn't spooky, I don't know what is.
Our family lived on the border of Alabama/Georgia (I can not recall the exact town). The place we lived was on a Plantation that also was converted to a civil war hospital that an old man and his Asian cook/housekeeper. While there several very very odd things happened. A babysitter took us up into the second floor of the mansion that was only accessed by a small stairway off the main kitchen. The very odd thing was that she told us she was a witch and she showed us this 2nd, 3rd, and attic that since the end if the Civil War was exactly as it was at the end. She then told us (3 kids under 10) that spirits told her to bring children to a certain room. I mean it was like exact metal beds, medical equipment, bottles, and just looked like since the moment everyone left it was exactly as that day. This is also clear as say to me. My younger siblings do not remember anything even though they were awake and 6, 8, and me maybe 9 or 10. I also remember very clear the pepper fields (I think actual black pepper but not exactly sure but remember this really clear as well as the area around this mansion being pretty huge and we ran all over). We were very poor and I remember these food missions people who brought veggies and huge sacks of buckwheat flour we made pancakes and ate all the time. She then claimed that we now were all here to be protected by these dead spirits who had died in that mansion. She then told us to not be scarred or frightened by something that was going to occur. She said a human sacrifice was needed to complete this thing for the spirits. She said it was not our faults and the sacrifice was going to be an even she has nothing to also do with the sacrifice but it was needed and the entire time was speaking to, as she put it a room full of spirits we were surrounded by. She the entire time said we were safe and were not in danger and they were doing this for us and our protection. I also was shocked leaving because when we went up the stairs it was like just before noon because my mom worked at a restaurant and we had just been woken up less than an hour and the walk was maybe 10 min from a outbuilding near on this property. I remember the Asian woman and the man very well. She fed us many times and was just really nice to us. Side note just as context my mom was married to a man who was my siblings father but my stepfather. I was actually to learn later I was Jewish/German and born in Germany as a teen. My stepfather (James Edwin Brooks Jr. his real name and I am being 100% honest so fk him) was a really bad guy... I will spare everyone the details but I really went through some very bad things this guy did to me from 3-14yo. I did try to get him locked up and just could not convince my sister to give a sworn statement since she also was abused by him and since it was her dad understood her situation and just realized the detective had a lot of really big hurdles and costs to this and let it go. I am OK and have accepted things and it does hurt but I also have the help and support that has helped me. Thanks to being German I am well taken care of and my career as in IT/Tech/WebDev at 56 am doing OK. When we left it was pitch black dark. I mean late dark. It only seemed like maybe an hour not over 2 was this all from going up the stairs to leaving. Also like between she had these very odd moments she would never harm us but made us all take our clothes off and we would run naked in the dark several times. The property was large and no one around and no lighting.. However there was a main 2 lane road maybe 300 feet from the mansion as I recall. It really was as I say exactly as remembered today because I really had not thought of this for a long time... like very few over time. I am now retired and live in Germany because I wanted my kids to be dual citizens and I was a full German citizen so it was simple for me. 3 days maybe, but less than a week from that day I awoke and a pet has these puppies... The dog though was I think a German shepherd breed. But was not ours but remember it and playing with her on the land all the time the time we lived there. and I do not know what or why but something very unsettling to everyone was very apparent to me going on and they killed the mom dog and puppies and burned them in a fire. I have no idea why but it was not a subject to bring up and was told to never bring it up and I was pretty afraid so I did as told. I do not know how long from here but again one night awake not by anyone.. I noticed as I looked these lights and lots of them at the main road... I was told that the Asian woman had walked into the road and a car had killed her. I was told later by the sitter that the man had killed her and staged the body in the road and was then ran over. I have only that to go by but this is I think 1976 since I clearly also know it was the US bicentennial and we went to a rodeo in that area of time. I just watched this video and felt the need to share this and I had not thought about this since the 80s maybe. Around 1977 we were watching Jesus Christ Superstar and while watching a huge amount of police raided our place. I think my stepfather was a low level dealer... but I mean it was really like movies get on the floor... even us kids and they had weapons... I rem my parents being gone for a short time and we were taken care of by a family from Mexico who I think were migrants working as pickers or farm hands.. but they were really nice and took very good care of us the whole time and we ate better than we ever had and was sad to leave. I think maybe this was our sitters family but not sure. Even though nude she never abused us or anything other than saying hey you can take all your clothes off and even she and as a boy was the first time seeing a girl like that and also had a thing for girls that were Spanish so... We then moved back to Florida... and final note.. the reason we were in AL/GA was because our home burned to the ground killing a teen boy staying the night in 1974 in Tampa I have no proof but think my stepfather got away with murder but detectives did investigate this when I tried to put Jim in prison but said they had no way to prove it... but know the night it happens Jim carrying me from a back room into the very front and watching him place all this stuff around the door to the room... waiting a short time... and being thrown literally through a window onto the front of the car and watching from a window the entire trailer burn. Later being told Rex Pate had died... then soon we went to Kentucky where his family were and getting stranded in AL/GA because my mom got sick was in the hospital but recovered and that was the story I wanted to share... even though I do not know why.
There's a story of a guy who started college and while moving in found everyone to be extremely friendly. Later people kept calling him a strange name and incidents he never had. Finally someone realized the man and the one he was confused for were twins! Their story made the papers and a 3rd man came forward as their identical TRIPLET!!! Sadly years later one of the brothers took himself from the earth.

In listing the differences between the two Dennis the Menace characters, it's mentioned that the British Dennis often carries a 'catapult' in his back pocket. The American term for this type of 'catapult' is 'sling shot' -- something that is OFTEN depicted in the back pocket of the American Dennis. So, not a difference at all. In fact, it's another interesting similarity. Also, the British Dennis character is NOT known as "Dennis the Gnasher". It's "Dennis the Menace and Gnasher" or, sometimes "Dennis and Gnasher".
The Ohio twins and the Australian guy story give me chills every time I hear them. Just wild. Those two Umbertos must have been twins. Too crazy to just be a coincidence.
Was the book store Anthony Hopkins went into on Charing Cross Road number 84? Did he meet the character he played in 84 Charing Cross Road (I don't remember when he died)?
How's this for creepy- While in University, friends were constantly berating me for ignoring them when they'd seen me in town the preceding day. The thing is most of the time I hadn't been in town that day. This went on for weeks, I thought it was a practical joke being played on me by my friends, however, one evening one friend who I'd known since the first day of school told me he'd seen me in town that day. I told him it was impossible as I'd just returned from another town. He then replied 'yeah, I know that now... I got within about ten feet and was about to punch you when the guy brings out a cigarette and starts smoking and I know how much you hate smoking.' My friend then went on 'The guy is identical, he's the same height, build, clothing style, he has a swiss army knife on a pouch on his belt and he's semi ambidextrous wearing his watch on his right hand... hell, the guy even walks like you.' I still thought this was a joke or coincidence (I had experienced strangers hailing me in the street) until one day one of my female friends was idly chatting and mentioned she'd been drunk and chatting to me that evening... until she realised it wasn't me. At this point after remaining silent while my friend chatted to him, my doppelganger turned to her and said "I think you've got me mixed up with the other guy." (apparently his friends had been experiencing the same issues!) To embarrassed to break contact, she continued chatting to the guy. Only now she started subtly asking questions. She then asked me my date of birth, his matched. Freakier still, we were born in the same hospital. I come from the period before ultrasound, and my mother was apparently told she was expecting twins (No she wasn't). Some years later I was telling another friend this in a bar, when I noticed two women staring at us (a mother and daughter) across the bar. Both women, who were American, walked over and the mother said to me 'Holey shit, you look just like my son.' "Has your son ever been to Dublin?" 'No' "So let's have a photo together, and you can tell him about the time you visited Dublin with him. Then when he say's he's never been with you, you can bring out the photo and mess with his head." 'Yeah' said the mother 'That's the kind of shit he'd do too.' This freaked the hell out of my friend.
The twins - that's Johnny Carson, not Phil Donahue. Donahue did a show on triplets who were separated at birth. Paul and Esther - is that really true? I like the Wizard of Oz item. I confess - I never saw that movie! I'm 62 and I never saw Wizard of Oz. That's pretty creepy, isn't it?
My dog's name was Toy. Its short for tueful which means devil in german. His registered name is Tasmanian Tueful. He's a rottie who's mother came from Germany. Sometimes there is a rational reason for things. They would have named their dogs around the time the marines got their name devil dogs or tueful huden so tueful was a pretty common word. Sorry marines if I butchered the spelling its been a while since I've seen it spelled.
The bit about twins isn't uncanny at all. They are genetically identical after all. When they grow up without the influence of the other these traits naturally exhibit similar expression. It is growing up with the other twin and a longing for personal identity that leads to the differences present in most twins when they reach maturity

The difference in USA civil war battle naming is because the Union tended to name them after local rivers in they didn't consider the nearby town significant enough. Town boundries in those days could be rather extended from a center with more buildings.
Wow, General Lee was marching in 1965! Pretty impressive for a guy who’s 158 years old! Based on the photos it looks like that framed dollar really made its rounds.

I used to read "The Beano" growing up and just need to point out a few slips of the tongue. Dennis' jumper is red and black striped, not red and white (the picture is a bit of a giveaway on that) and it's Dennis the Menace and Gnasher, not Dennis the Gnasher. Dennis also used to tease/torment/bully a character called Walter. Walter had a Toy Poodle (called Fifi, I think) and was always very well dressed. Dennis called him Walter the Softie.

I myself have touched the table that the Civil War surrendered was signed on. It's in a museum in Chicago. It had been given to General Custers wife and she donated it to the museum.
What a coincidence, I touched myself near the table that the Marvel Civil War movie's script was written on! It was in General's Custard, a custard store in Chicago near a museum.
I gave Mary Todd Lincoln the what-for on that table. She never could pronounce "Appomattox" properly.
@@thelunchlady8276 Coincidentally, the policeman arresting you for touching yourself was named George Armstrong, which are the first two names of General Custer.
With that sweater, perhaps the UK Dennis the Menace should have been called Freddy the Menacing!
I couldn't have put it better.😂
@@scotthoenig5427 Thank you, good sir!
The Dennis the Menace one is VERY hard to believe it was all a coincidence.
I know a guy called Dennis the Menace.
The answer might lie in that there was a song from 1935 with the chorus Dennis the Menace from Venice.
There was also one from Canada called Dennis The Apprentice.
Well the American version the writer developed it after his kid who acted a lot like the comic strip. His kid grew up to hate the comic and his dad
@@timriggins70wow, I just looked up the song . far cry from the cartoon lol😊
I was "creeped out" to find out the Civil War was still being fought when I was 12 years old.
King Umberto was crowned, not coronated. He wasn’t a flowering shrub - THOSE are “coronated”
The twin story was ird
I used to read the Beano comics a lot as a kid and the American Dennis the Menace was pretty much unknown in the UK but the film came out here and I remember seeing it in the TV guide and I remember how confused I was to see a blonde haired kid.
Oh your spot on...
I think everyone in the UK was
Best evidence for this being a simulation. It's like if one of your sims ran into the (copy) version of itself.

NOT 1965.
1865 yes, but actually, I do believe the march was led by an overly obsessive Eric Cartman and his drunken Civil War re-enactment followers. ...Heh! Yeah, that was a good episode...lol

The "versions" of Dennis The Menace are mutually exclusive and was merely a coincidence. The UK one was a character from The Beano comic book (that I subscribed to as a kid), along with Minnie The Minx, Roger The Dodger, Ill Will and several others. It wasn't until the US one had a cartoon series on TV that we knew of him as just "Dennis," since Dennis The Menace was copyrighted in the UK--there wasn't a cartoon of our Beano characters until the late 90s.
"Beauregard" is pronounced "Boe- regard", not "Bew-roe-gard".
Thanks! I was going to say that. I would guess the name McLean is pronounced McLANE as well.
Ok ok hold up, let's pump the break for a sec here.. when did the memo, email, perhaps a txt message go out that assured us all that everything you are and hear on UA-cam is 100% percent true, and you will be forced to take an exam on the content and if you get the answer wrong your going to be sentenced to the worst of all fates imaginable..
This channel puts out 1 video everyday.. sometimes even more then 1. They are made for emterainment.. who cares if there's a few mistakes. How many channels do this same topic. At this point I'm just happy to hear something I haven't yet. some new material, you can pic 3 channels and they are all discussing the same old crap content.. I like a channel that has new stuff and the voice isn't intolerable and entertains me for a little bit to not be dwelling over real life issues... Hey, at least I wasn't that guy today ... Today could of been alot worse 🤷
This is a form of journalism and #FactsMatter. It's one thing to mispronounce a word or have a typo...but the facts are the facts and they should be reported accurately. If ALL journalists abided by this, then this country would not be so divided.
These videos are made to inform, not entertain, so it’s more important to get the facts right. Your own grammar leaves a lot to be desired.
Well, having facts right stops people believing nonsense like the world is flat, moon landing was faked and so-on
The text is wrong for Anthony Hopkins as it says "Hopkin".

Do you mean to say, Dennis AND Gnasher?
I noticed that both dogs from 'Dennis the menace' have similar haircut as their respective Dennis. 😲
I realize it’s just a simple number change but even watching the first section with him saying in 1965 instead of 1865 makes me cringe. It’s not that big of a deal but my internal/ocd self is just horrified 😆
It’s a huge deal for a channel of this size. There are a number of these errors in this video.
@AliCoxMusic so what? Make your own. What are you, the UA-cam police? You think there aren't mistakes in school textbooks? 🤔
Maybe you should work in the QA field ;D
The way the south was in 1965 u would think the civil war was still active 🤷🤷🤷🤦🤦🤦👎👎👎👎
@UnicornSpoonie, you may be O.C., but you're not a "disorder". None of us are. I'm very O.C. It's odd, to all of the O.C.s that I know, for our "lifestyle choices" to be called "disorder", when it's just the opposite.
Please don’t use AI generated images. Those generators are known for stealing existing art and reworking them into these images. It’s really harmful for us artists
Another fun fact about Wizard Of Oz, they would control Judy Garland with giant, alternating doses of amphetamines and barbiturates to keep her up, or put her down, depending on what suited them.
They also had her smoke so she wouldn’t eat & gain weight. It’s terrible what the bigwigs got away with!
I also heard she had to make her own tampons. Monsters!

I don't know where, because I've heard most of these stories already and know them already.
It's getting bad with the amount of video they pump out. The narrator also sounds almost like AI now.
Error at 3:36 not 1965. I do enjoy this channel!
The photo story reminds me of another story where a man showed his new bride a picture of him as a child visiting Disney World and she recognized herself in the background.
Sure, you relate the famous 'separated at birth' twin story. I worked for a unit in a State office that handled the Adoption Registry. This was where adopted persons and birth mothers could register to meet. We heard about a set of twins girls who had been separated. The agency that handled the adoptions had made sure to not place them with families in the same town. However, one set of parents later moved to the same town the others lived in. These girls met in high school. The various friends of the two had been telling them how much they looked like the other. One of the girls had not been told she was adopted. After they had become friends that girl learned and when they were adults went back to the adoption agency who, while they obviously wouldn't tell who the birth mother was, they did say they were sisters... since it was pretty obvious they were.
Another story I heard was from a man who did work for the same State agency, but not in the State offices. He had grown up in El Paso and had a lot of friends in the neighborhood who everyone thought he was one of the many cousins who did live and were friends. He later learned he was, indeed, related to these people.
Thats fucked up on so many levels

Lee was NOT traveling to South Carolina to join up with Johnston's army; he was traveling SW to reach the Confederate armies in Texas.
What was so mysterious and creepy about the McClean story? But I also want to point out that you stated McClean's family lived in TWO successive 🏠s in the Manassas area during the war; each one on the battlefield of the TWO Bull Run battles. So the "surrender 🏠" at Appomattox would have been their THIRD.
"A PORTRAIT of plum pudding"?? 🤨
The UK Dennis does learn from his actions and he rarely causes mischief on purpose, he's very independent and usually has one scheme or other designed to get his own way, he almost never intends anyone to be hurt or embarrassed by his pranks, shenanigans just tended to erupt and he has to put his wits to solving the problems he has created. That's the basic format of every strip, Dennis unintentionally causes and issue with his antics and then has to use those same antics to undo what he's done.
The perfect comic strip for a wee tearaway causing havoc throughout the Scottish 90s. Good times.
Yup! I remember fondly reading "Dennis the Gnasher" in his red and "white" jumper as a child. 🙄🙄🙄
Entertaining but hate the bot generated images. I guess we will be swamped by them in the future.
38:13 yes it does, a significant part of my career as an archivist has been to solve really weird mysteries. If you want weird history look into local history, it’s where you find the weird stuff like the town that had the first ostrich farm in America also produced barbed wire that was present at the first atomic bomb
“They wondered if they were doppelgängers”? If you look like someone then you are doppelgängers, am I missing something here?
Doppelgangers are said to be that if you see yours then you will die,I saw mine years ago and nothing happened.
@@AngelaVara-i4lthat story of the King & the restauranteur might be why the doppelganger legend exists....
Why do we call them plantation owners? They were slavers.
They were plantations, they owned it hence the two words going together. History is full of "slavers", whites, blacks, asian we all have history of being slaves and owning them in some cases. Doesn't make it right but it happened and is still happening today in some parts of the world. The first man to own slaves in what would one day be the USA was himself a black man. Or so they say. But from the start hundreds/thousands of years ago the act of owning another human being against their will was/is sin.
But that's because we are all slaves to sin. That's why Jesus came.
This video was really interesting but, when the narrator said that the Civil War was going on in 1965, I realized this was a sloppy video.
There's a reason why the 60's are known as the "civil rights era." The war continues to this day, with the feds winning every battle thus far.
If we are talking about weird coincidences here. I always consider Benjamin Britten and Sid James. Both men were born in 1913 and died the same year of heart attacks (1976), both men were a spitting image of each other and both were involved in controversies regarding their personal lives, if that isn't spooky, I don't know what is.
Waiting to be "creeped" out.
Me too...
Our family lived on the border of Alabama/Georgia (I can not recall the exact town). The place we lived was on a Plantation that also was converted to a civil war hospital that an old man and his Asian cook/housekeeper.
While there several very very odd things happened.
A babysitter took us up into the second floor of the mansion that was only accessed by a small stairway off the main kitchen. The very odd thing was that she told us she was a witch and she showed us this 2nd, 3rd, and attic that since the end if the Civil War was exactly as it was at the end. She then told us (3 kids under 10) that spirits told her to bring children to a certain room.
I mean it was like exact metal beds, medical equipment, bottles, and just looked like since the moment everyone left it was exactly as that day.
This is also clear as say to me. My younger siblings do not remember anything even though they were awake and 6, 8, and me maybe 9 or 10.
I also remember very clear the pepper fields (I think actual black pepper but not exactly sure but remember this really clear as well as the area around this mansion being pretty huge and we ran all over). We were very poor and I remember these food missions people who brought veggies and huge sacks of buckwheat flour we made pancakes and ate all the time.
She then claimed that we now were all here to be protected by these dead spirits who had died in that mansion.
She then told us to not be scarred or frightened by something that was going to occur.
She said a human sacrifice was needed to complete this thing for the spirits. She said it was not our faults and the sacrifice was going to be an even she has nothing to also do with the sacrifice but it was needed and the entire time was speaking to, as she put it a room full of spirits we were surrounded by. She the entire time said we were safe and were not in danger and they were doing this for us and our protection.
I also was shocked leaving because when we went up the stairs it was like just before noon because my mom worked at a restaurant and we had just been woken up less than an hour and the walk was maybe 10 min from a outbuilding near on this property.
I remember the Asian woman and the man very well. She fed us many times and was just really nice to us. Side note just as context my mom was married to a man who was my siblings father but my stepfather. I was actually to learn later I was Jewish/German and born in Germany as a teen. My stepfather (James Edwin Brooks Jr. his real name and I am being 100% honest so fk him) was a really bad guy... I will spare everyone the details but I really went through some very bad things this guy did to me from 3-14yo.
I did try to get him locked up and just could not convince my sister to give a sworn statement since she also was abused by him and since it was her dad understood her situation and just realized the detective had a lot of really big hurdles and costs to this and let it go. I am OK and have accepted things and it does hurt but I also have the help and support that has helped me. Thanks to being German I am well taken care of and my career as in IT/Tech/WebDev at 56 am doing OK.
When we left it was pitch black dark. I mean late dark. It only seemed like maybe an hour not over 2 was this all from going up the stairs to leaving.
Also like between she had these very odd moments she would never harm us but made us all take our clothes off and we would run naked in the dark several times. The property was large and no one around and no lighting.. However there was a main 2 lane road maybe 300 feet from the mansion as I recall.
It really was as I say exactly as remembered today because I really had not thought of this for a long time... like very few over time. I am now retired and live in Germany because I wanted my kids to be dual citizens and I was a full German citizen so it was simple for me.
3 days maybe, but less than a week from that day I awoke and a pet has these puppies...
The dog though was I think a German shepherd breed. But was not ours but remember it and playing with her on the land all the time the time we lived there.
and I do not know what or why but something very unsettling to everyone was very apparent to me going on and they killed the mom dog and puppies and burned them in a fire. I have no idea why but it was not a subject to bring up and was told to never bring it up and I was pretty afraid so I did as told.
I do not know how long from here but again one night awake not by anyone.. I noticed as I looked these lights and lots of them at the main road...
I was told that the Asian woman had walked into the road and a car had killed her. I was told later by the sitter that the man had killed her and staged the body in the road and was then ran over.
I have only that to go by but this is I think 1976 since I clearly also know it was the US bicentennial and we went to a rodeo in that area of time.
I just watched this video and felt the need to share this and I had not thought about this since the 80s maybe.
Around 1977 we were watching Jesus Christ Superstar and while watching a huge amount of police raided our place. I think my stepfather was a low level dealer... but I mean it was really like movies get on the floor... even us kids and they had weapons...
I rem my parents being gone for a short time and we were taken care of by a family from Mexico who I think were migrants working as pickers or farm hands.. but they were really nice and took very good care of us the whole time and we ate better than we ever had and was sad to leave. I think maybe this was our sitters family but not sure.
Even though nude she never abused us or anything other than saying hey you can take all your clothes off and even she and as a boy was the first time seeing a girl like that and also had a thing for girls that were Spanish so...
We then moved back to Florida... and final note.. the reason we were in AL/GA was because our home burned to the ground killing a teen boy staying the night in 1974 in Tampa I have no proof but think my stepfather got away with murder but detectives did investigate this when I tried to put Jim in prison but said they had no way to prove it... but know the night it happens Jim carrying me from a back room into the very front and watching him place all this stuff around the door to the room... waiting a short time... and being thrown literally through a window onto the front of the car and watching from a window the entire trailer burn. Later being told Rex Pate had died... then soon we went to Kentucky where his family were and getting stranded in AL/GA because my mom got sick was in the hospital but recovered and that was the story I wanted to share... even though I do not know why.
Columbus?
There's a story of a guy who started college and while moving in found everyone to be extremely friendly. Later people kept calling him a strange name and incidents he never had. Finally someone realized the man and the one he was confused for were twins! Their story made the papers and a 3rd man came forward as their identical TRIPLET!!! Sadly years later one of the brothers took himself from the earth.

This is a great channel. I tune in everyday for content.
In listing the differences between the two Dennis the Menace characters, it's mentioned that the British Dennis often carries a 'catapult' in his back pocket. The American term for this type of 'catapult' is 'sling shot' -- something that is OFTEN depicted in the back pocket of the American Dennis. So, not a difference at all. In fact, it's another interesting similarity. Also, the British Dennis character is NOT known as "Dennis the Gnasher". It's "Dennis the Menace and Gnasher" or, sometimes "Dennis and Gnasher".
1965?really..?
The Ohio twins and the Australian guy story give me chills every time I hear them. Just wild. Those two Umbertos must have been twins. Too crazy to just be a coincidence.
Gnasher was the dog. Seriously bruh, read.

Was the book store Anthony Hopkins went into on Charing Cross Road number 84? Did he meet the character he played in 84 Charing Cross Road (I don't remember when he died)?
How's this for creepy- While in University, friends were constantly berating me for ignoring them when they'd seen me in town the preceding day. The thing is most of the time I hadn't been in town that day. This went on for weeks, I thought it was a practical joke being played on me by my friends, however, one evening one friend who I'd known since the first day of school told me he'd seen me in town that day. I told him it was impossible as I'd just returned from another town. He then replied 'yeah, I know that now... I got within about ten feet and was about to punch you when the guy brings out a cigarette and starts smoking and I know how much you hate smoking.' My friend then went on 'The guy is identical, he's the same height, build, clothing style, he has a swiss army knife on a pouch on his belt and he's semi ambidextrous wearing his watch on his right hand... hell, the guy even walks like you.'
I still thought this was a joke or coincidence (I had experienced strangers hailing me in the street) until one day one of my female friends was idly chatting and mentioned she'd been drunk and chatting to me that evening... until she realised it wasn't me. At this point after remaining silent while my friend chatted to him, my doppelganger turned to her and said "I think you've got me mixed up with the other guy." (apparently his friends had been experiencing the same issues!) To embarrassed to break contact, she continued chatting to the guy. Only now she started subtly asking questions. She then asked me my date of birth, his matched. Freakier still, we were born in the same hospital. I come from the period before ultrasound, and my mother was apparently told she was expecting twins (No she wasn't).
Some years later I was telling another friend this in a bar, when I noticed two women staring at us (a mother and daughter) across the bar. Both women, who were American, walked over and the mother said to me 'Holey shit, you look just like my son.'
"Has your son ever been to Dublin?"
'No'
"So let's have a photo together, and you can tell him about the time you visited Dublin with him. Then when he say's he's never been with you, you can bring out the photo and mess with his head."
'Yeah' said the mother 'That's the kind of shit he'd do too.'
This freaked the hell out of my friend.
The twins - that's Johnny Carson, not Phil Donahue. Donahue did a show on triplets who were separated at birth.
Paul and Esther - is that really true?
I like the Wizard of Oz item. I confess - I never saw that movie! I'm 62 and I never saw Wizard of Oz.
That's pretty creepy, isn't it?
My dog's name was Toy. Its short for tueful which means devil in german. His registered name is Tasmanian Tueful. He's a rottie who's mother came from Germany.
Sometimes there is a rational reason for things. They would have named their dogs around the time the marines got their name devil dogs or tueful huden so tueful was a pretty common word. Sorry marines if I butchered the spelling its been a while since I've seen it spelled.
Teuful
Ha! The story of the old man finding himself was really fascinating.
Biological material?
The bit about twins isn't uncanny at all. They are genetically identical after all. When they grow up without the influence of the other these traits naturally exhibit similar expression. It is growing up with the other twin and a longing for personal identity that leads to the differences present in most twins when they reach maturity
Great stuff as always!
Sorry to be the "typo guy", but at 3:35 "1965" should be "1865". I was eight in 1965 and I am pretty sure the war was over by then 😂. Thanks for these stories. Cheers.
So many people making comments about the date slip regarding the Civil War, but for me it was the mispronunciation of Beauregard...which is pronounced BOregard.

The AI narration is even worse.
Thank u for saying that. They are just terrible!
Where actual photographs do not exist, and artist depictions are ultra rare or blocked behind paywalls … AI art is the most obvious medium to turn to create these entertaining and enlightening videos. You should commend the channel for using it sparingly alongside actual photos from the period where they exist.
Not all of us have the time or ability to hand-paint 30-40 original artworks for a brief UA-cam video. Your privilege is showing.
On the day my son, Wesley was born, there was another baby born, at that hospital, around the same time, whose mother also named him Wesley.

Thank u this was intresting god works in crazy ways how wonderful.
The clip about Dennis the menace(s) felt like 4 hours. Why did I watch this lol
By 1965 Gen. Lee could still ride a hose... A truly robust man. lol
The difference in USA civil war battle naming is because the Union tended to name them after local rivers in they didn't consider the nearby town significant enough. Town boundries in those days could be rather extended from a center with more buildings.
Wow, General Lee was marching in 1965! Pretty impressive for a guy who’s 158 years old! Based on the photos it looks like that framed dollar really made its rounds.
Why would the two Dennis the Menaces creep me out?
Ty "When It Came to Light" Notts
Enjoyed.. but I swear I heard 1965 in 1st segment (civil war)
1865 not 1965, Dennis carried a slingshot not a catapult, and they weren't live action movies it was a tv series.
They did make a movie. Starring Walter Mathau.
