      Pretty sure the whispering at the graveyard and other locations is just ambient audio made for atmosphere like the decayed sirens and music speakers of the Sierra Madre. The burned bodies like many dead NPCs can be found alive if the game engine bugs out and generally they are part of hostile factions like the scientist in the Shalebridge and mound which can be found alive instead of dead if the game bugs out since the cell respawns much of the permanent reference objects. Lakelurks have a 90% chance of having nothing in their inventory including egg clutches. It may have been an oversight sadly. Making wasteland omelets hard to make
      Btw I like your voice it's very soothing
      I do have a game theory for the events surrounding Arthur Maxson's ascent to become Elder. In all likelihood the deaths of both Lyons were premeditated by Enclave remnants that survived the Brotherhood's eradication efforts that infiltrated their ranks posing as Wastelanders or vault dwellers only to groom Arthur at a young age and mold him into their ideal leader and virtually a puppet. It would explain many of the changes underwent by the Brotherhood of Steel in addition to how dismissive characters like Proctor Quinlan and Teagan are towards using Wastelanders as a tool rather than caring for their wellbeings.

    There are multiple accounts from people seeing dead bodies spawn as living npcs in New Vegas. One quest has a dead Gomorrah prostitute you need to inspect. Except the quest can glitch out, and you can find her walking around casually.

    I remember the burned body glitch happening to me perfectly. This was after I played the game many times on the ps3 and pc. And after I already cleared out the cazadors in the same playthrough where it happened.
    I fast traveled to Goodsprings and made my way north to get Chance's knife. I was curious when I saw red blips on my compass in the direction of the burned tribe village, but no Cazadors where on the road like they usually are. I thought the game had just respawned a few but, New Vegas hardly ever respawns anything. After I get the knife I make my way down the mountain and into the valley leads to the village to investigate. Imagine my jaw dropping when I saw what appeared to be dark skinned people in rags fighting a single baby cazador...and winning. Then they started charging at me after they won the fight. That's when I pop VATS and see the name Burned Body pop up. My jaw was through the floor when i experienced this for the first time 😳

    @10:32 - this is actually confirmed to be a bug, or a sadistic choice by someone in Obsidian. The loot table associated with lakelurks has a 90% chance to spawn nothing, and a 10% chance to spawn three lakelurk meat. So, if you find random dead lakelurks with no meat, chances are excellent that the lakelurk died in a random encounter that you missed, and it just didn't spawn any loot on death.

      That is a reference to the actual Nuclear testing that happened near Las Vegas.

    From what i understand the whispers in the Graveyards happens because of an audio glitch, something like you have sound file "1A" that plays there but the game gets a little confused and plays "One A" which happens to be a whispering audio file for background noise. Its possibly a glitch possibly someone having fun either way its one of the most likely to run (i commonly run into it on longer games when visiting goodsprings graveyard). The Burned Bodies getting up upon reloading a save (yeah that one is a known glitch based off of the health setting for those NPCs) hopefully this helps someone understand how these legends start and get exaggerated.

    All the files can be looked at and dissected by anyone with knowledge of the Gamebryo Engine.
    If any of these ACTUALLY existed in the game they would be findable in the files.

    Perfect video for the Halloween season. I particularly liked the segment about the Nellis AFB ghost. I spent three years stationed in Alaska , one night while on 24-hour Duty in a building that was almost as old as the post itself being built in the 1940s we had a radio that kept flicking itself on in another room behind a locked door. There was only two of us in the building at the time, myself and the staff sergeant we knew we were the only two in the building as we had walked the halls and rooms multiple times during the night as part of our duty routine. The fort i was stationed at had a high suicide rate, due to the bleakness and remoteness on top of the long, cold and dark winters. I've no doubt theres some lost souls still stuck there long after their rightful ETS date.

    Wasnt The Big MT supposed to be the game's version of Area 51?

      A few folk have said this - I’m not sure if that’s official, or just a theory itself. I’ll have to look that up!

    No I’ve had the burned bodies just not be dead and attack me. It was more odd than scary, but I had Arcade with me and he just ran at them like an idiot. I think it’s just the engine being shit

      Probably. But it's fun to imagine spooky reasons :)
