To kill the roach do all of the above PLUS fill it’s mouth with WHITE rose pedals ,then rotate the head so the head is facing down into the dirt. . THEN it will kill anything .It will still take 24 hours to work completely on the roach.
The witches in Salem were often educated, landowners, and/or materially wealthy. When the accused were hanged, their estates were cleverly distributed amongst the accusers, neighbors, or the officials of the court. I did a research project on it while getting my BA in History at the CofC. A few poor, a servant, and a child were hanged so the court would appear to have legitimate witnesses. Separation of church and state was argued based on the incident and wealthy and noteworthy politicians changed their surnames to disassociate themselves from relatives that participated in the ruse. For some nut job puritans it was legitimately hysteria but for most of the accusations there was economic, as well. There are other theories out there, but if you follow the wealth, history is easier to understand/theorize than religious excuses. Politicians use these tactics in modern American politics, as maneuvering using pathos is more effective than arguing for ethos or logos.
Back in the 1990s there was a couple that killed people and drank their blood, claiming they were vampires. They went on a killing spree across the US. At the time, a bunch of friends of mine were in a LARP where they pretended they were vampires. The local news had gotten a bunch of footage of them for a story that never happened. When the news heard about the vampire killings, they did a huge segment on it, using the footage of my friends to convince locals there were crazy vampire killers in their own community and this was what being goth led to. As you can imagine, my friends sued them for defamation.
Some kissing bugs in the US have tested positive for the parasite. I've been bitten by juvenile kissing bugs (not on the face) and even a small bite will cause a great deal of swelling. One was in my bedroom...they only come out at night so...it took a few nights to figure out what was causing all the bites overnight. The juvenile was only the size of a grain or rice...but full of my blood. Ugh!
I was thinking the same thing. One year of hard labor in some places is the same as a death sentence... probably not in this case though. Would love to know the back story on how he pulled that deal
Perry Dowd One of my dogs I just buried (15 w/cancer) was absolutely to blame for gas attacks. Even when a puppy, he had serious issues in the gas department
Thank you. I waste a lot of time defending these bugs online. "most kissing bugs in the US are harmless" correct, and their bite wouldn't spread t.cruzi anyway, it's through their feces... There is a modern day kissing bug scare however. Started in the 00s when reports about Triatominae referred to them by family, instead of subfamily. as "Reduviidae" assassin bugs, like comparing a house cat to a tiger, thus including over 7,000 species in their sensational articles. I raise assassin bugs, 5 different species, most natives, not "hobby" bugs, though I raise those too. The kissing bug scare has depleted their numbers, a beneficial predator. The wheel bug (the largest of the new world assassin bugs) feeds on the brown marmorated stink bug, the spotted lanternfly and the japanese beetle all invasive species. If you simply google "wheel bug feeding" you will see it taking on a variety of crop pests. Highly beneficial. I would love to see a video on the reduviidae, there is more than enough information there, it would be wildly entertaining, and possibly help remedy an environmental issue that is not really getting much attention. The Insect apocalypse as it's called, which is adversely affecting the predators and actually benefiting the pests at the moment., not to mention the disproportionate handicap against the reduviidae, as humans fear them thinking they are kissing bugs. Find them in the gardens doing them a favor and smash them. I've seen a lot of posts on ID groups claiming to have killed a kissing bug, and it's some poor wheel bug. Not an entomologist, but I've been consulted by them. I have some video of my assassin bugs and there really isn't very much on the internet featuring these guys. It's a shame, they are amazing.
You guys even inadvertently showed a picture of a masked hunter (reduvius personatus) when showing a website (website's fault). The solid black bug. It's a real problem.
The car-window case also happened in the Netherlands of 2011. For a month the news would report about the "highway pellet-gun shooter". I believe in the end there was never any evidence of a shooter and the amount of windows-breaking turned out to be pretty average.
Wonderful AS USUAL! I actually visited the grave of Mercy Brown (the one in your photo) on a New England vacation. My (now ex-) husband was a huge fan of vampire lore among other horrors.
michael Smith Really shows how oblivious they are. As a mechanic. Yeah. I see how people didn’t notice it. Some people could run their engine without oil, seize it and still wonder why it happened to them. Hey. It was probably vandals. Throwing tiny pebbles in front of your car on the highway.
@@fastinradfordable right on. I can imagine some of the things you've had to do because of stories you couldn't believe. I worked in trucking in Baltimore. One day we sent a driver to Cumberland. Two days later he calls needing money for fuel. He was damned near clean to the New York state line.
There was also Spring Heeled Jack in Victorian England, who witnesses report was a strange bug eyed man wearing a helmet, who could leap over buildings and breathe fire!! Also there was Orson Wells War of the World's radio broadcast which caused massive panic as people believed it was real.
I was at CVS picking up my meds and a chinese guy was frantically running around searching for something... He was freaking everybody else. This was the day they announced there was a new corona virus patient in our town Sunday.
Me too. I live in College Station and, in 2 days, 2 students (1 here and 1 in Waco) were under observation. Luckily they were both cleared yesterday. Our entire area was sold out of medical masks. Not gonna lie...I was concerned too, but can you imagine how those students must have felt?
Couldn't the cracked windshields be a result of something like a hail storm combined with older windshields being less durable? Modern cars have practically shatterproof windscreens and could withstand damage better. I don't think it was just people suddenly noticing damage from word of mouth experiences.
One of the reasons ergot is an easy out for many an event is it has the highest concentration of lysergic acid to be found. Ergot is around 10% Hawaiian rosewood is around 7% and morning glories are around 3%. If lysergic acid sounds familiar it's just a short jump from lysergic acid diethyl amide, lysergic acid dietheline, or more commonly known as LSD. Though it is much more powerful when purified and bound to ammonia (amide) it is still a potent hallucinogen on it's own. Despite breaking down at around 80C. In addition the rye kernels that are infected by the parasite are 2-5 times larger than normal ones. Possibly being picked out as a higher/ lower quality grain. Then eaten by the farmers as product that could not go to market.
I don’t know if it has been suggested already or if there is enough substance for it, but I would like to see a Casual Criminalist episode about the Halifax Slasher if possible, sounds quite interesting.
Line Tommy Lee Jones said in Men in Black. “A person is smart. People are stupid.” This is entirely true and the exact reason I don’t like to be in crowds.
For anyone interested here I recommend the following books: 'Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds' by Charles Mackay. 'Crowds and Power' by Elias Canetti. And 'The Politics of Hysteria' by Stillman and Pfaff.
No mention that the Salem Witch trials became from people eating mouldy rye bread which contains 'ergot'which Is also what LSD is made from. Women were making bread that got mouldy and the people that started eating that bread started tripping thinking they have been cursed by the witches. Sad times
@@christineparis5607 i have a friend who is an entomology professor at TAMUK and we volunteer for an organization together. I've helped her during our volunteer weeks hunt to down and collect them so she can use them for research and studies. It's a big deal to the hunting resorts, with their kennel facilities. I'm surprised at how many people actually live in areas with them and don't know anything about them!
#4 An assassin bug is similar to the kissing bug. But it is a bit larger. It is extremely painful when they sting you. It feels like you have been stung by several bees in one place at the same time. The pain lasts for around six to eight hours. 😭 It is very painful. Leave them alone!!!
I used to think mass hysteria and paranoia was just something found in modern times, but then I had history class and realized humans are just weird. If I had to guess, over all the years humans have been around, those with excessive fear and paranoia probably lived longer and procreated more leading to such traits becoming fairly common. In modern times, you can quite easily manipulate these traits and you can see this daily on your "local" news media outlet.
I’ve had my balls stung by a scorpion but that was nothing compared to the pain I had when a kissing bug but the web between my thumb and trigger finger
Didn't we tell you that Frau means Miss or Mrs, women, it's not part of her name 😂. You and Daven already had to learn that during a brain food podcast
Or maybe it's a story that some girl who was in a super depressing place made up. Because she wished that her life wasn't so miserable. Just thinking out loud
"A person is smart; people are dumb, dangerous panicky animals, and you know it."

I just find it frightening that people thought that people were vampires because of tuberculosis.
TB was totally emo. Vamp and emo is not the same
Never underestimate the power of ignorance and superstition. It's an almost unstoppable mix.
what is more frightening is that I went through the antibiotic treatment for TB a few years back and I still like evening better and blood sausage.....
Well, no, they thought *corpses* were vampires. The living folks with TB were thought to be victims of the vampires.
I have learnt more history from this channel than throughout all my time at school

Then, there was the 'Satanic Panic of the 1980's' in the US.

The hashslinging slasher
I understand how one might mistake a beetle for a kissing bug, but how could one possibly mistake a bee for a kissing bug? They’re so different.
"How do you kill a vampire?"
"Drive a steak through its heart, cut off its head, and burn the body."
"That would kill ANYTHING!"
Not a cockroach
To kill the roach do all of the above PLUS fill it’s mouth with WHITE rose pedals ,then rotate the head so the head is facing down into the dirt. .
THEN it will kill anything .It will still take 24 hours to work completely on the roach.
What, no Deadpool cameo?
How do you drive a 'steak' through someone's heart? Will sirloin work, or does it have to be a T-bone? ;-) I think you meant 'stake'.
macsnafu definitely a T-bone. Pointy end and a t handle to increase the grip. Much better than a sharpened stick.
Simon definitely doesn't know what a BB gun is.
I don't know how many times I've heard about the dancing plagues, but it never gets old. So bizarre!
The witches in Salem were often educated, landowners, and/or materially wealthy. When the accused were hanged, their estates were cleverly distributed amongst the accusers, neighbors, or the officials of the court. I did a research project on it while getting my BA in History at the CofC. A few poor, a servant, and a child were hanged so the court would appear to have legitimate witnesses. Separation of church and state was argued based on the incident and wealthy and noteworthy politicians changed their surnames to disassociate themselves from relatives that participated in the ruse. For some nut job puritans it was legitimately hysteria but for most of the accusations there was economic, as well. There are other theories out there, but if you follow the wealth, history is easier to understand/theorize than religious excuses. Politicians use these tactics in modern American politics, as maneuvering using pathos is more effective than arguing for ethos or logos.

Chagas is a problem in Louisiana. Dogs can get it, and spread it to their owners. And Chagas can kill.

Okami_No _Heishi Before that. Patricia Pulling, the Satanic daycares, and general kidnapping for sacrifice. Tipper Gore was a decade later.
Going from the death sentence to one year of hard labor was pretty lenient. Depending where the hard labor was performed.
I was thinking the same thing. One year of hard labor in some places is the same as a death sentence... probably not in this case though.
Would love to know the back story on how he pulled that deal
@Okami_No _Heishi Yeah, next time he will think before shooting a ghost. What?

@Okami_No _Heishi ..not really, people rarely think of consequences...but, vocational skills training they can use outside of prison, certainly !
