The story about the lone tribesman is really sad. I feel so bad for him, I can't imagine living in my family "neighborhood", so to say, and have everyone gone, but to be so terrified of the outside world, that you would just stay there. That's heartbreaking. I feel so bad for that man.
Strikingly similar to the Japanese solider who was at war like 20 to 30 years after it ended they had his family write notes and he thought it was propaganda really sad stuff
I can't help when Rob was talking about that guy who went to Poe's grave laugh when he said "Many have tried to catch a glimpse of the elusive toaster"
I remember being ridiculously happy when I first read about the Poe Toaster, then being ridiculously sad when I found out years later that the tradition ended.
UA-camrs don't get paid based on if you watch an entire ad or not. Just letting you know that. Skipping the ad or watching the entire thing makes no difference to a UA-camrs earnings.
As someone already said, watching the entirety of the ad doesn't make a difference. However, clicking/tapping the "visit advertiser" link does help the UA-camr.
it's real, though. His disappearance can be credited to bureaucrats botching his case bad and not wanting to take the blame. The guy escaped the room, people did not admit that, so they got rid of the evidence and that was it.
Sokobansolver this is what I was thinking, is there any proof that the taured story actually happened ? I would bet money that this was just a clever story made up by some one.

theme for this episode: People are strange... When you're a stranger... Faces look ugly, When you're alone.... Women seem wicked, When you're unwanted....
Maybe Wiseau could play Cooper in a movie, but he was preschool age when the crime was committed. My theory is that the FBI and other authorities did not particularly want to apprehend and try Cooper. If he had been captured, facts might have come out which would have embarrassed some major person or interest, or which had a bearing on national security. I think the FBI had a pretty good idea who he was. Having assessed him as having low criminal potential, they simply tracked him until he died. I suspect he died relatively young and did not survive into the 1990's. He was emotionally disturbed, obviously, and had the stress of being on the run and constantly having to look over his shoulder. He also smoked and drank. None of these factors contribute to a long life. I think he could have been as old as 45 at the time of the hijacking and probably was in his early 40's in any case. That would have put his year of birth at maybe 1929. Independent investigators recently have discovered physical evidence which possibly links Cooper to some facility where the metal titanium was machined, but the FBI had closed the case shortly before this finding was announced. With the high likelihood that Cooper is deceased it makes legal sense to close the case. But I still don't think the government wants his identity known. I doubt any of the named suspects was Cooper. The motive was not primarily money. Not in my estimation anyway.
12:50 sounds like he had severe autism, I have aspergers syndrome and everything you said about the boy sounds like a very severe form of typical traits. If he wasn't making up/or so mentally ill that he THOUGHT he was kept under those prison conditions, he was probably either abused by some kind of family or abducted at some very young point of his life... something along these lines anyway, which wont have helped his mental development as he got older. I'm not just talking about autism, he could have had other conditions also not recognised at that time
The Luna I was wondering the same thing, my son has autism and it reminded me of him, how people have approached him to talk to him and he doesn’t respond because he can’t.
@@tannerlawley8435 not quite sure about the magnets, but autistic people with sensory issues are often sensitive to smells and sounds. The intense light and sounds from thunder storms very well could have caused him physical pain, and certain scents can be so intense that they are nauseating. These sensory issues along with his lack of expose to much stimuli throughout his life, can pretty much explain all of it.
For the Jerome story. He was taken care of by my grandmothers aunt around where I live. We don't call it sandy cove but it's in French so I'm not sure the translation. It's so cool to hear a UA-camr talk about where I live

The first story has long been considered a hoax. Or just a fun urban legend. You can search all you want on it but all you will find is a retelling of the same story and no substantial evidence or first-hand accounts. There are some people who say that the story mirrors a short story publication from a magazine printed back in the day but I cannot find a source on this.
Ben Merila I figured there was something off about that one. It seemed very suspicious how he got out of the hotel room and his belongings were disappeared.
Even if it was true it was probably just some Japanese people not understanding an Andorran. He could have said "Terre D'Andorra" which could be misconstrued as Taured if you're Japanese and speaking to a man speaking French with a Catalan accent. And him leaving with all his belongings could just be him looking for a hotel where the staff understood him.
Classic Pinball It's often considered to be proof that there are alternate universes, but there is far more substantial evidence. I still love to think about it just for the tiny, smallest possibility that it is real and that it is proof of a multiverse.
Ben Merila Yeah, I always thought this one was fictional. Customs hold you in an interview room at the airport, they don't put you into a hotel lol. I actually think this part gives it away that it's fake.
I used to do tours at Poe's Grave for years. I did events on his birthday and death anniversary. I had vigils the nights before and after his birthday and even have one of the bottles and three roses left behind. For awhile I was suspected of being the new Poe Toaster for a bit.
I wish I could say yes. But, no. At best we speculated that The Toaster had a way in with a key. There are multiple entrances. To the best of my knowledge, people have been mostly courteous to The Toaster and respected his privacy. However in 2007-2008 some people did try to jump and unmask him! This may have contributed to his retiring. Although we are pretty sure that he is from NY.
Vince Wilson that makes sense I suppose. And I do think that would make me retire as well. But I would assume he knows personal things of Poe, and especially the reasoning for honoring him every year for so many years...
It is believed that the original Poe Toaster retired or past away and that mantle was taken up by his son or close relative. We may never know more than this. But the mystery is fantastic!

Recently had knee reconstruction surgery because knees, anyway, people would get excited when I would tell them about all the drugs I had to take, thinking I was going on some sort of massive painkiller acid trip. Extremely disappointed. However, anesthesia is a _ride_. That one was fun. And you consciously know you're being ridiculous as you're drugged, but there's just nothing you can do about it lol.

This is awesome content! Nothing wrong with it at all....now explain this... Why was a stupid (and pretty graphic) video about a furry convention self destructing not only apparently monetized, but TRENDING? Seriously, Rob's stuff is SyFy channel worthy, I don't get it.....
"These people may just be downright mysterious." Don't you mean... "seriously strange"? Great video, as always! Also is Twisted 10's going to be returning soon?
Man from Taured sounds like it's from the paged of a sci-fi novel... .because it is. Short story collection, actually. 1982's "The Directory of Possibilities." Obscure source and the story had been retold as fact so much, you can't be faulted for not knowing. Took a lot of digging to turn up that much.
I miss you Rob. I have always been drawn to the dark and creepy, so naturally I am attracted to the subject matter you produce. It felt like a couple weeks since your last video and I was fearful that you gave up. Don't give up Rob. Please keep UA-cam creepy.
Got excited when I saw a commercial (never thought I'd hear myself say that) and watched the whole thing just in case. Hope this means UA-cam is starting to come to their senses
In regards to Taured, I have a very interesting theory. First off I must say I am NOT into conspiracies but I firmly believe our government covers up when covert operations are discovered. Now, in 1951 a lot of citizens in the Southern French geographical area, which would include the nation of Andorra, were experiencing a high degree of sickness and paranoia. Initially the cause was blamed on expired ingredients used to make bread but this didn’t make any sense because an entire village in France AND some citizens from Andorra were sickened. Eventually it was revealed that the CIA doped some food products and the water supply with LSD and that was causing the shared symptoms between the two countries since they drew water from the same tributary from the river Taured. This information was kept secret until 2004 when the documents were discovered by journalist H P Albarelli. The cover up was done by US, French, and Swiss authorities. Why the Swiss? Because two Swiss scientists provided two theories to help with the cover up by stating the outbreak was caused by mold. The scientists who produced both alternative explanations worked for the Swiss-based Sandoz Pharmaceutical Company, which was then secretly supplying both the Army and CIA with LSD. Two years after this incident a man named Frank Olson, who worked for the CIA, was unknowingly drugged with an LSD laced drink by two fellow CIA operatives in a New York bar. Later in the evening the three went to a hotel room to continue their drinking but Olson ended up doing a header out the window killing himself. How does this relate to Taured? It proves that the CIA was still experimenting with mind control after Taured. It also proves if the CIA can drug its’ own operatives it can certainly drug civilians. These expriments were the foundation of MK-Ultra. I believe the man from Taured was unwittingly doped and the CIA let him loose brainwashing him into believing he was from a country known as Taured. The complicity of the French is obvious given he was issued a French passport. Just a theory.
@@TheStudioMouse I believe he was the guinea pig that was given free and safe passage by the CIA. The organization wanted to see if mind control could be achieved and they needed a way to track their experiment. They gave this experimented upon man a code word complete with a "serial number" to quickly identify him. Enter the code word and "serial number" Taured. Once he would arrive at his destination and immigration officials questioned him about his "country" of origin, the CIA would be able to tell their experimented upon subject was where they wanted him to be by using the "country" of origin to be Taured.
The Poe one sounds like a form of ancestor veneration. Some people believe that if they give offerings like alcohol or show that they remember a person that they can ask for help and inspiration, often people do it not just for blood ancestors but for people they share a goal with or relate to in a struggle or something such as people who died for what they believe in or a famous artist they are inspired by. It's interesting stuff and still practiced.

"The story of the man from Taured seams like a story ripped from the pages of a science fiction novel"... ahn... that's because it is really ripped from the pages of a science fiction novel by Brian W. Alaspa.
Falcon Ellie could have been The Count of Saint Germain. I'm surprised that he is not on this list. One of the most mysterious men to have ever lived, and there are several accounts of him existing from famous people. He was extremely old, but looked to be 50. He was a master painter, jeweler, musician, and alchemist. He spoke fluent in several languages (except english), and was able to act like a no-nothing fool, and an all knowing man of high class. He showed up to big parties covered in stylish clothes (which he designed himself). He was friends with *very* famous people who all wrote about him (including the king of france). He even has published music that was very good for it's time that you can still find today. All his work was original, and a lot of his artistic achievements were borderline revolutionary, and he refused to share how he did what he did.
A bit of a late reply, but: trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=taured The term was searched a few times before the book came out, probably by the author, then the book came out.

• Not Tyler but I live for MiniCat • So you disagree that he was poetic but you agree that he was a poet? Poets make poems, therefore are poetic. Also it's a play on words, because his last name was Poe. Idk, I may have missed something.
you should do a video about Alistair Crowley. he seems very interesting, and I'd love to see a video from you. I'm not one to do much research, so it would make me very happy to see a video. :) Thanks Rob, keep up the hard work. :)
Corniles 67 have you seen *The Wickedest Man in the World* and *In Search of the Great Beast 666*? Or books by him like *book 4*, *The Book of Lies*, *The Book of Law* and *777*? Oh, and *The Weiser Concise Guide to Aleister Crowley* by Kaczynski. I think UA-cam would have a small aneurysm over a Crowley episode, since they demonitize video's for much less nowadays. 😕
Once i saw a tweaker walking downtown in Eugene Oregon walking a rotisery chicken on a shoelace leash and she said the "dog" was fine but the "dog" was acctually just uncooked food she was high I think
D.B. Cooper I do wonder if he ended up dead, or made it off somewhere with the rest of the cash. I can't help thinking that demanding 4 parachutes so that it seemed like he may make his hostages jump, was pretty clever of him. That way any ideas authorities might have had about sabotaging a parachute, went out the window. But I don't think he was a 'good guy' or 'hero' the way some people to this day seem to think. He still hijacked a plane, took hostages, and stole money along with other expensive items (parachute, plane time/fuel etc) and traumatized innocent people for his own selfish reasons. *The first story needs some real references to prove it isn't simply anecdotal and that t really happened. Even then it's likely a guy like that was trying to sneak into the country and made the story up, maybe had mental illness going on or something like that and managed to sneak away and become an illegal immigrant. But I still say it might have been all just a tall tale. Or someone playing a joke.
I think the additional parachutes were for him to drop off the money and possibly something he smuggled on board into specific locations only he would know to make it harder to trace, then he goes back and collects it chunk by chunk. Maybe he had a terminal illness and knew he was gonna die and pulled a Heisenberg by committing a crime to leave money for his family after he dies and that's why they never found him
Yeah, I left a couple of rude comments joking about his hair, but he always looked good in front of the camera. His voice, tone and rhythms have also been spot-on for those older videos. He kind of lost those vocal qualities in some of his more recent videos. This video could needed more bass and maybe a little tweaking to bring the presence of his voice forward.
Besides DB Cooper (whom I'm so sick of hearing about); all these were so interesting! I really like the fact that you picked less heard of stories/people (again, mostly). As always, I LIVE for your content. ❤️
marie young I miss WWYPTOTI but can understand why Rob might not want to torture himself with people's idiocy/politics (& would probably be demonetised if he says the wrong thing; )
phillip martin and robs used some of these before i belive namley the first one (french japanese speaking guy) and if not him it was someone with simular styles either way they all are old stories so theyll be repeated
@sammyes415 You know, you can always fast forward the video to see if there's something you've never seen before. If you have, you can give it a pass. No real use complaining on here.
Great clip, as always. Any way you would consider mentioning the year in which these things happened? I feel like that would give each piece a little more context.
The man from taured is a misunderstanding, the Japanese airport employees likely didn't understand French. So they probably got 'terre d'Andorra' mixed up into "Taured". Atleast that's what could've happened, and he probably left the hotel room through a window when he realized the officials locked the door and didn't understand his language.
I have heard about the man from Tourid many many times and it's still do interesting to me.. DB Cooper is just absolutely crazy! Both of these are because you're looking at this person but then you never see them again and they can cent be found!! The Pie toaster?? What the deuce 😳
The story about the lone tribesman is really sad. I feel so bad for him, I can't imagine living in my family "neighborhood", so to say, and have everyone gone, but to be so terrified of the outside world, that you would just stay there. That's heartbreaking. I feel so bad for that man.
Happens all the time heather when you come to think of it !
Maybe he just doesnt want to live in this new world. They should just leave him alone, I'm sad they attacked him.

This is awesome content! Nothing wrong with it at all....now explain this... Why was a stupid (and pretty graphic) video about a furry convention self destructing not only apparently monetized, but TRENDING? Seriously, Rob's stuff is SyFy channel worthy, I don't get it.....
by the "#KeepUA-camCreepy" I'm pretty sure this is sarcasm guys...
Jake Paul should be on this list
Seth foreal It's everyday, bro.
I scream laughed when I read that😂
its easy to explain people like him. hes some corny ass dude that got his hands on some money and social media followers
He's not mysterious. He's just a fucking moron no one can explain. XD
Him and his brother are just an idiotic Vine refuges.
"These people may just be downright mysterious."
Don't you mean... "seriously strange"?
Great video, as always! Also is Twisted 10's going to be returning soon?
Why was Kasper stabbed though?!?
..........
Man from Taured sounds like it's from the paged of a sci-fi novel... .because it is. Short story collection, actually. 1982's "The Directory of Possibilities." Obscure source and the story had been retold as fact so much, you can't be faulted for not knowing. Took a lot of digging to turn up that much.
@Hgyvtfygyhuh Ygihvutctvnininnin calm down.
I ran into guy that thought he was part Sasquatch. Can't remember why he felt that way but he wasn't even hairy like Bigfoot would be.
Nazimova B maybe he watched too much hunting for bigfoot
Nazimova B
How did he come to that conclusion? I mean, did he just wake up one morning and start foraging in his backyard for nuts and grubs?
Just a great cover up for his body odor issues!
Were his feet by any chance abnormally large?
Legend
I miss you Rob. I have always been drawn to the dark and creepy, so naturally I am attracted to the subject matter you produce. It felt like a couple weeks since your last video and I was fearful that you gave up. Don't give up Rob. Please keep UA-cam creepy.
Got excited when I saw a commercial (never thought I'd hear myself say that) and watched the whole thing just in case. Hope this means UA-cam is starting to come to their senses
Menji commercial for what ???
In regards to Taured, I have a very interesting theory. First off I must say I am NOT into conspiracies but I firmly believe our government covers up when covert operations are discovered. Now, in 1951 a lot of citizens in the Southern French geographical area, which would include the nation of Andorra, were experiencing a high degree of sickness and paranoia. Initially the cause was blamed on expired ingredients used to make bread but this didn’t make any sense because an entire village in France AND some citizens from Andorra were sickened. Eventually it was revealed that the CIA doped some food products and the water supply with LSD and that was causing the shared symptoms between the two countries since they drew water from the same tributary from the river Taured. This information was kept secret until 2004 when the documents were discovered by journalist H P Albarelli. The cover up was done by US, French, and Swiss authorities. Why the Swiss? Because two Swiss scientists provided two theories to help with the cover up by stating the outbreak was caused by mold. The scientists who produced both alternative explanations worked for the Swiss-based Sandoz Pharmaceutical Company, which was then secretly supplying both the Army and CIA with LSD. Two years after this incident a man named Frank Olson, who worked for the CIA, was unknowingly drugged with an LSD laced drink by two fellow CIA operatives in a New York bar. Later in the evening the three went to a hotel room to continue their drinking but Olson ended up doing a header out the window killing himself. How does this relate to Taured? It proves that the CIA was still experimenting with mind control after Taured. It also proves if the CIA can drug its’ own operatives it can certainly drug civilians. These expriments were the foundation of MK-Ultra. I believe the man from Taured was unwittingly doped and the CIA let him loose brainwashing him into believing he was from a country known as Taured. The complicity of the French is obvious given he was issued a French passport. Just a theory.
@Sandra Gross LOL sometimes I get lost in my own words😅
@@donculotta1551 but how did he escape?
@@TheStudioMouse I believe he was the guinea pig that was given free and safe passage by the CIA. The organization wanted to see if mind control could be achieved and they needed a way to track their experiment. They gave this experimented upon man a code word complete with a "serial number" to quickly identify him. Enter the code word and "serial number" Taured. Once he would arrive at his destination and immigration officials questioned him about his "country" of origin, the CIA would be able to tell their experimented upon subject was where they wanted him to be by using the "country" of origin to be Taured.
While it's an interesting theory, there's actually no evidence that this story ever happened.
@@brandonmacleod exactly.
The Poe one sounds like a form of ancestor veneration. Some people believe that if they give offerings like alcohol or show that they remember a person that they can ask for help and inspiration, often people do it not just for blood ancestors but for people they share a goal with or relate to in a struggle or something such as people who died for what they believe in or a famous artist they are inspired by. It's interesting stuff and still practiced.
I saw Edgar Allan Poe in the thumbnail, and I clicked.
Raging Artist same
lol same
Raging Artist ... According to Edgar Allen Poes grave stone Rob's information is incorrect.
Haha same here
Raging Artist love him too
I can still remember when he had just 3 Seriously Strange videos.. I was so hooked, I couldn't wait for the next one!! Now.. #92... Amazing. You've come such long path, we're proud of you.
Edgar Allen's restless ghost,
Misquoth the Raven, "Never Toast"
Cali Braxus Ha, not bad.
"The story of the man from Taured seams like a story ripped from the pages of a science fiction novel"... ahn... that's because it is really ripped from the pages of a science fiction novel by Brian W. Alaspa.
Falcon Ellie could have been The Count of Saint Germain.
I'm surprised that he is not on this list. One of the most mysterious men to have ever lived, and there are several accounts of him existing from famous people. He was extremely old, but looked to be 50. He was a master painter, jeweler, musician, and alchemist. He spoke fluent in several languages (except english), and was able to act like a no-nothing fool, and an all knowing man of high class. He showed up to big parties covered in stylish clothes (which he designed himself). He was friends with *very* famous people who all wrote about him (including the king of france). He even has published music that was very good for it's time that you can still find today. All his work was original, and a lot of his artistic achievements were borderline revolutionary, and he refused to share how he did what he did.
I see every one commenting that they got an ad. But I didn't.
Olaf Wendy If you pay for Google Music or subscribed to Google Red then you don't see ads
Olaf Wendy Lol oh well then you're lucky because ppl are saying it was a 3 min ad haha. Cheers and happy life!
I found his channel and watched 30 vids straight with no ads at all
same
Robbi Cooper Depends on your google subscriptions dear.
I've been waiting for this video all week!!! I'm so excited and happy!
"I myself, am strange and unusual."
“Well you just seem like a normal girl to me”
Is there any proof the Taured traveller story actually happened and isn't just a made up story?
Saiiko12 I want proof as well or documentation of this issue
A bit of a late reply, but:
trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=taured
The term was searched a few times before the book came out, probably by the author, then the book came out.
Do you believe in aliens? Have you ever seen one? Do you actually know if they exist? Do you believe in God? How long is it that we've been waiting around for God or aliens or whatever to show itself? I think you have your answer
Always thought the Taured man story had the characteristics of a spy mystery.
All you have to do is look around outside and you will see God in everything, you heathen.
Since I adore your content and how dedicated you are to what you do. I watch all the ads I get from your channel. I want to watch this channel to continue to grow as prosper.
Plus, I use your videos to keep me calm, help me sleep, and most importantly give me info on creepy subjects. I don't know what I'd do without your channel running!
#KeepUA-camCreepy
me: I really should be animating before my motivation goes away *gets notification* FUCK ANIMATING
The Poe Toaster is actually kinda sad, great video
"You're tearing me apaaaaaart, Lisa!!!!"
Love how you pronounce properly the german name of Kaspar Hauser. Keep up the good work. #KeepUA-camCreepy
DB Cooper died trying to escape from Fox River Penitentiary with Michael Scofield.
Money Making Marshall dude I remember that episode I was so fucking sad
Andrew Lo yeah man, I really wanted him to reunite with his daughter, I guess they did in a better place tho.
Money Making Marshall I was looking for this comment 😂
mariah trevizo 😂😂
Yep 😂😂
We can all agree that Edgar Allen was Poetic, amiright?~
Alycornz N.A Edgar Allen POEtic Xd
Alycornz N.A no not really, he was more of a depressive emo poet to me but eh to each their own. Haha.
• Not Tyler but I live for MiniCat • So you disagree that he was poetic but you agree that he was a poet? Poets make poems, therefore are poetic. Also it's a play on words, because his last name was Poe. Idk, I may have missed something.
I wouldn't want to be anyone associated with him; they all freakin died of tuberculosis.
He's just a Poe boy from a Poe family.
you should do a video about Alistair Crowley. he seems very interesting, and I'd love to see a video from you. I'm not one to do much research, so it would make me very happy to see a video. :) Thanks Rob, keep up the hard work. :)
Corniles 67 have you seen *The Wickedest Man in the World* and *In Search of the Great Beast 666*? Or books by him like *book 4*, *The Book of Lies*, *The Book of Law* and *777*? Oh, and *The Weiser Concise Guide to Aleister Crowley* by Kaczynski.
I think UA-cam would have a small aneurysm over a Crowley episode, since they demonitize video's for much less nowadays. 😕
VORTEX no, I haven't seen or heard of any of those. I'll check them out and get my hands on some of those books. Thanks for letting me know :)
Brits seem to be obsessed with this man. And Dr. Who.
Dude was a devil worshiper
damn Rob i finally turned on bell notifications, missed this last month
Once i saw a tweaker walking downtown in Eugene Oregon walking a rotisery chicken on a shoelace leash and she said the "dog" was fine but the "dog" was acctually just uncooked food she was high I think
I hope she was high!
Or you were.
@@andrewkennedy-reagan3289 as long as someone was high and not actually believing a cooked chicken was a dog then that's probably better
D.B. Cooper I do wonder if he ended up dead, or made it off somewhere with the rest of the cash. I can't help thinking that demanding 4 parachutes so that it seemed like he may make his hostages jump, was pretty clever of him. That way any ideas authorities might have had about sabotaging a parachute, went out the window. But I don't think he was a 'good guy' or 'hero' the way some people to this day seem to think. He still hijacked a plane, took hostages, and stole money along with other expensive items (parachute, plane time/fuel etc) and traumatized innocent people for his own selfish reasons.
*The first story needs some real references to prove it isn't simply anecdotal and that t really happened. Even then it's likely a guy like that was trying to sneak into the country and made the story up, maybe had mental illness going on or something like that and managed to sneak away and become an illegal immigrant. But I still say it might have been all just a tall tale. Or someone playing a joke.
FallingGalaxy Except you missed the part where his passport was legit and from that country...
FallingGalaxy
Someone commented it was a short story (1982) turned urban myth.
Glad to learn that.
And I agree re: Cooper.
I think the additional parachutes were for him to drop off the money and possibly something he smuggled on board into specific locations only he would know to make it harder to trace, then he goes back and collects it chunk by chunk. Maybe he had a terminal illness and knew he was gonna die and pulled a Heisenberg by committing a crime to leave money for his family after he dies and that's why they never found him
How come Rob doesn't show his face anymore?
Damn, I miss his beard
Pretty sure he does that for different videos
Yeah, I left a couple of rude comments joking about his hair, but he always looked good in front of the camera. His voice, tone and rhythms have also been spot-on for those older videos. He kind of lost those vocal qualities in some of his more recent videos. This video could needed more bass and maybe a little tweaking to bring the presence of his voice forward.
Dark Cloud he has cystic acne' didn't you know??
Hes undergoing a sex change and doesn't want us to see until it's done
the father of creepy has returned
They call my dad mysterio.
That dude vanished years ago.
😂 DONT kill me omg
Your dad is Quintin beck?
the d.b. cooper story is fascinating. and the fact we dont know what happened after makes it that much more intriguing
Besides DB Cooper (whom I'm so sick of hearing about); all these were so interesting! I really like the fact that you picked less heard of stories/people (again, mostly). As always, I LIVE for your content. ❤️
#KEEPUA-camCREEPY
Rachel Foster KEEP UA-cam CREEPY JUST FOR ROB AND 90% OF HIS VIDS. THE OTHER 10% IS WWYPTOTI. LOVE. YA ROB #KEEPUA-camCREEPY

I miss WWYPTOTI but can understand why Rob might not want to torture himself with people's idiocy/politics (& would probably be demonetised if he says the wrong thing; )
I agree with everything you say

Poe toaster was DB Cooper
laup reggy and his son was/is Fulcanelli.
And he wrote the Voyeach Manuscript
One time I saw ric flair's butthole
And DB Cooper was the Zodiac Killer
It is known!
Holy shit! I hit refresh and BAM!! ROOOOOB
Is it just me or am I getting extreme déjà vu from this video because I'm sure I saw this before??
sammyes415 yeah I feel like I did too
phillip martin and robs used some of these before i belive namley the first one (french japanese speaking guy) and if not him it was someone with simular styles either way they all are old stories so theyll be repeated
@sammyes415 You know, you can always fast forward the video to see if there's something you've never seen before. If you have, you can give it a pass. No real use complaining on here.
sammyes415 you might have watched this before but simply forgot it
Hiiiiiii
Great clip, as always. Any way you would consider mentioning the year in which these things happened? I feel like that would give each piece a little more context.
Poe is my all time favorite poet!
your voice and the music makes it even scarier to watch this a night😟
You are brave! I get jumpy watching this home alone on a sunny summer day!
miss your videos. can't wait to see more
The man from taured is a misunderstanding, the Japanese airport employees likely didn't understand French. So they probably got 'terre d'Andorra' mixed up into "Taured". Atleast that's what could've happened, and he probably left the hotel room through a window when he realized the officials locked the door and didn't understand his language.
The story mentions he was fluent in French and Japanese.
I have heard about the man from Tourid many many times and it's still do interesting to me.. DB Cooper is just absolutely crazy! Both of these are because you're looking at this person but then you never see them again and they can cent be found!! The Pie toaster?? What the deuce 😳
You need to do a tv show. You have the voice for it
Krissy Medlin but, he may have a face for radio...
Who watches tv anymore
Dude sounds like the guy from craziest car chases or a show like that on foxtel/cable tv
We don't like TV.
I always thought the first one was just a myth or urban legend... 🤔

I took my ass to the liquor store, to buy some drink proof 154, i drank that bitch on the porch, then i went back to get some more. Barz.
Lysergic SmokesDoobies k
Bro that was more fire than lil broomstick
ty, i dont have a soundcloud but i did have a myspace at one point if that counts.
The man from taurid simply stepped back into his own dimension.
Maybe Fulcanelli did die in the 1920’s but told his most promising student to take on his identity and his work?
Taured is a real place! It’s in Sweden! Look it up on Google maps!
@Hgyvtfygyhuh Ygihvutctvnininnin you have issues, dude.
I clicked directly on this
His name was "mysterio"
...cuz of the multiverse ya see??.... no??
Ok
God bless and keep the soul of dearly beloved mastermind Edgar Allan Poe. 🖤 💜 🖤 He lives forever in our hearts.
Ya know, usually an ad before a video would annoy me but I got really excited to see one on this!
DB cooper is such a badass, I first heard of him from Shane and Ryan.. is there a movie on him?? I would love to see it
I agree, also I think he definitely survived, and had it all planned.... super cool story.
Try the film Without A Paddle, even though it's a comedy it has DB Cooper in it.
Hi Rob, saw you way back in Toronto walking by with Matt. Didn't get a chance to say hi :/
@John Barber riiiiight. Hope you're joking.
Why does Poe's gravestone s6how October 9th as his birthday if according to the nartative his birthdayy was Jan 19th ?
Thats what I was wondering
I got an ad in the middle of this video and I didn't dare skip it! Hope is in sight, Rob! #KeepUA-camCreepy
Caspar Hauser sounds a little like the movie, "Powder" with Johnny Depp. One of my fav. movies. Thanks Rob for the Video
Rob you're the Ish!! #NotificationSquad
hey rob!! I love your channel ☺
ishotthemoon30 NO NOT THE MOON
Rob and Cayleigh uploading the same night? Yaaaass!
OhSuzeyQ
A bitmoji profile picture? This ain't Snapchat, girl. Haha jk.
I love my little bitmoji character :)
Always a treat and forever will be a treat to see new uploads, and rewatch old uploads that you dish out, Rob!
I've never been this happy about getting an ad 😂❤️
That Dan Cooper dude definitely died when he jumped out of that plane.
Salmon Says he had a parachute sooo
Ashton Wells and?
Ashton Wells
Parachutes still have chances of failing, especially the backup one!
they'd have found his body.
The body would have been found.
fuck I have to go to work now :/ sometimes I wish I could disappear like some of these people.
Underground Drifter just quit it's easy.
Chris Rice money is important, people need their jobs.
I live in SW Washington, & my grandmother used to own a sandwich shop called "DB Cooper's".... 🙂
Cool story.....
The fact Cooper trusted the integrity of whom ever packed the parachutes is the baffling mystery in my view.
To think that there are people and places that exists outside of what we have been taught is fascinating and really makes you wonder!
