I heard a story of a Japanese soldier who was thought dead during WW2 being living alone in the jungles of Guam for 28 years only to be found by a local in 1972 27 years after the war ended. The japanese man had no idea the war had ended and was really shocked about everything. Must of felt like time traveling and going the future. 28years alone detached from the world is wild.
Hey EVERYBODY reading this guy's comment OR reading it hold up a second and read THIS... In the comments section of RANDOM vidz I've seen on UA-cam from time to time I have seen people doing this, and I think I've seen THIS GUY do it on more than one! This dude is just going around RANDOMLY saying this stuff to whoever happens to read it, can we all please just take a moment to let that sink in to our, "busy" big heads for a sec and realize just how lucky WE ALL ARE to have exceptional human beings like this guy in the world at this time and age we're ALL stuck in? Whoever YOU are and wherever YOU are... Sir, you are among the few examples of EXCELLENCE in humanity. 100,000 blessings upon YOU and YOUR DESCENDANTS. On behalf of us all, Thank You Brandon King.
My grandpa told me that if he could find an unfindable house, he would live there. Many years ( around 30 ) have passed since he said that but he finally found the unfindable house 2 years ago. He lived in the Netherlands but now he lives in Portugal, in a town that isn’t on any map and not even on google. The town has existed for a long time so it’s a mystery why its so hard to find.
To be fair, there are a lot of small towns in Portugal that isn't showing on google maps :P And I'm 100% sure there are thousands of "hidden towns" across the globe :P
Strange things can happen if you get a head injury in an accident. I had that experience after a car accident. I was convinced my father was still alive even though he died 20 years previous. The weirdest thing was I had 'memories' of him being alive for those 20 years.
I believe it. I started having seizures in 2011 and had them for 3 years with no memories of that missing time. My last memory was walking to my English class in college in 1987. My first memory after the seizures was sitting in a hospital where I had been for several weeks. I didn't know my name or that I had a family including 2 children. I've had help piecing some of my life together and luckily have many hours of video of my children growing up but still don't know how I ended up in a St Louis hospital 2 hours from my home. My doctors say I have temporal lobe damage and the reason I had forgotten how to walk, talk, read and write. I'm told my personality is different but I can't remember and spent the first 3 years crying because of all I lost.
I was mistaken for a missing girl with my same first name for about 4 years. Everywhere I went people called the police, I wasn't allowed in my friends houses, because their parents thought I was some kind of miscreant runaway.. That girl didnt even look like me nor was she the same age. Even in small towns, people are dumbasses.
i will say it is funny because it was all through no fault of your own. not to take shine away from your story .... But.. i will haha. in a period of 20 minutes i had people drive by looking and pointing at me as they drove by me. i thought my car was on fire. i drove into Walmart with 5 car caravan behind me.( feeling all love and appreciativeness of my fellow humans) . got out of car and all of a sudden it was a tribe around my car. apparently there was an Amber alert and my car was same color and one lic number off. I have to admit, I am not a pretty man and I looked the part. Thank goodness i was not wearing my raincoat. I would not have made it home and the well meaning children of the corn people following me would be talking about me at their barn meetings.
20:30 The little animated thing about being between a rock and a hard place had me in tears. These mysterious stories are fun, I love your mysterious uploads.
I've been to the ape caves, it is so easy to get lost when no light. As an adult and when my cell battery was draining and no light from it as headed to exit was very unnerving. Fortunately my family members cells still had light. I can't imagine being in there without any light what so ever. Good thing little girl was found.
the doctor who remembered his doctoring skills but forgot everything else is not as unbelievable as it sounds. Clive wearing, aka Six-second clive has such bad amnesia that his memories basically reset every six seconds, like flicking a lightswitch off and on. despite this, he can still play piano, and very well too. despite him immediately forgetting everything, thousands of times a day, he still knows how to play the piano.
Yes, we have many different types of memories. For example there's a difference between remembering your favorite meal and remembering how to ride a bike. So depending on where the damage is in the brain and the type of memory it is.... its very conceivable that someone could forget some things and not others. 🤷♀️
There's a polish miniseries about a well known city doctor who was attacked and had amnesia. 10yrs later he's a laborer in a rural town who decided to help a poor depressed paralyzed miner and reset his leg so he can walk again. People started going to him until 1 patient needed extensive brain operation which he successfully did but needed antibiotics so he went to the city to get some, there he met his former colleague who instantly recognized him and witnessed his beating. He had kept quiet bec he was jealous and had gained his former mentors position since they had assumed his death. Alls well ended well. A really good show
"The Witch Elm" (also published as "The Wych Elm") is a 2018 psychological mystery by Tana French based on the skeleton found in the 1940s. Excellent, gripping thriller.
As someone that has lost access to over 80% of my memories i can tell you that if you eliminate a con how someone loses their memories is very strange, while I had been losing access to my memories for a few years i had no idea it was happening as unlike a book shelf where you can see a missing book you don't have that with memoires until you encounter a situation, movie, person or whatever that you know you should know but have no memories on is your first clue, unfortunately the memories loss I had was also made far would by a very rare drug reaction. However the memories I lost access too were personal and autobiographical (memories of myself or my life) but I could still write my name, repair just about any kind of computer or electronics, cook food i never remember eating and on and on, so learn skills i not only remembered but could use that knowledge. I could read a textbook and retain the information in it, to use to do a task but a week later if you showed me the textbook i would not remember it at all. Ironically i can't remember the exact name of type of memories i retained at the moment of writing this, but once we identified the drug that was making this situation worse it was not the initial cause of the memory loss, I have recovered about 30% of my lost memories, so I can recall very clearly about 60% and the other 20% are fragments. So losing your memories is not even scary as you don't really know its happening most times. Journaling helped me a lot. anyways just wanted to put my story out there in part as a cautionary tail to be kind to ones who lose, are losing or have lost some or all of their memories.
Wow, thank you for sharing. I'm glad at least a partial cause and solution have been found for you. I think the type of memories you have lost are called "episodic" memories, and you're right, there's another word for the type you have retained. I hope that whatever happens for you going forward, others treat you with kindness and understanding. And thanks again for your perspective on this fascinating topic.
@@REGULARG i would be happy to talk to you we just need a better place to talk then replying on a UA-cam video lol we could use one of my discord servers maybe would be the easiest.
As for amnesia and a surgeon/doctor retaining their skills, it's exactly what you'd expect. An amnesiac loses (temporarily or permanently) the factual details of their life, as in who they were married to, how long they spent at a particular residence (or whether they were there at all, if for a short time). This is the stuff involving short-term or episodic memories, stored specifically in the hippocampus. The hippocampus can get bigger with memory trainong--it's notorious that London cab- cab-drivers do this, studying for "the Knowledge" or how to get around between London locations. The thing that *doesn't* usually get lost unless there's something wrong physically and/or neurologically (possibly because it's stored in several brain locations) is kinetic/procedural memory. If you can ride a bike or a horse, drive a car, use eating utensils correctly for the milieu (UK/US/ everywhere else), write your signature, touch-type, use a smartphone/tablet/mouse... if you have severe amnesia you may not actually *know* you know these things (you don't remember learning them), but when prompted, you approach them correctly.
I love watching "Exploring With Josh" , he is very respectful of the places he visits and his enthusiasm for some of the locations and architecture is fun to watch. I'm sure he was very happy to reunite that girl with her family and was happy to help her. If he had snacks and water he would definitely have given her some. I'll have to see if I can find that video. Thanks for mentioning him.
I heard a chimney story from a school teacher in high school. The teacher claims a couple bought a house that had been abandoned for some time. It had begun to fall into disrepair, and there was an odor, and the smoke often would billow into the room. Turns out there was a man who had tried to break into the house for a robbery, but he gotten stuck in the chimney. The previous owners moved out for this unpleasant odor, especially while using the fireplace. This man had died in the chimney, and no one knew he was there. The man was a missing person that had been missing for over ten years. His body was basically smoked and dried like beef jerky over the years as they burned fires. Mortified I would be. In the 80's, a girl.was kidnapped and thrown into an outhouse. I was very young. I grew up terrified that I would find someone stuck in the disgusting pit.
I vanished for a time when I was 5 years old. My mother was inside while I was playing. I apparently decided to follow my Doberman through the woods into the coal mines. Lost a in some deep mud, somehow made it out of the mines and to a little cut off road onto someone's porch. I can still remember bits and pieces, but ask me about other parts of my life I have huge blanks. Don't know why or what has caused them, who knows🤷🏽♀️
"Exploring with Josh" is a very heart warming story, not to mention that sweet little girl. Is the final visual of that sweet little girl holding on to her parents real or just a file picture?
Whoever is reading this, I pray that whatever you’re growing through gets better and whatever you’re battling with makes your situation better as you’re continuing to be a better person each day. I have faith that you’ll turn out great as your circumstances will change. Have a fantastic day! You got this! 🤗💪🏼❤
Honestly, I think Steven knew exactly what he'd been up to. He decided he was done being MIA and needed an excuse to give to his family when he finally returned. His "vow of silence" in regards to his disappearance is likely just him not wanting to explain himself.
Probably. It's pretty hard to just "vanish", unless you actually have a medical condition, verified by professionals. Either way, I guess he got what he wanted.
A 2-5 year old kid in turkey was found in a grave after a Earthquake appeared. Apparently, the kid was in that grave for 5-8 days. People had asked the kid how he wasn’t hungry or thirsty but the kid replied “The man in white came and gave me food and water”. Muslims believe that God had sent an angel to come and send some hope to the kid. While Christian’s believe that Jesus gave the hope to the kid.✝️☪️
As far as Larry's death goes I see 3 options, 1. Amnesiac 2. Run-a-way or 3. based on his memory of being in an orphanage, an unknown twin who would have the same fingerprints.
I've heard stories in the past about dumb criminals trying to enter residences through the chimney, and once where a man tried to get to his ex-girlfriend's house through the chimney. Apparently would be Santa's are fairly common.
Missing 411. A great show, and super mysterious true stories. Many happen in national forests, and always with strange weather, that follows after the person is reported missing.
Yesss! The one about the cabin in the woods where two separate people went missing at different times and found a cabin they stayed at and the cabin was never found. They also both lost track of time. So crazy. If you haven’t watched that one I highly suggest. Craziest one I have watched for sure
@@Diamon.d Hey,do you know where i can find that one please or do you have a link please??..sounds very intresting. I appreciate any help you can give me to find it,thankyou,Take care,xx
@@skullrose8985 hey I tried finding the exact video but I can’t remember what one it is. It’s worth watching all of the missing 411 series on mrballen channel though if you’re interested in this story. Their are many creepy ones worth watching!
Can't watch this right now, need sleep but I remember a worker getting stuck behind a refrigerated display case suffocating and his body being found much later. So sad.
It may not be the same case you're talking about, but a grocery store worker in Iowa was up on top of two long rows of refrigerated sections -- that sat back-to-back- about 12" apart -- and fell down between them, ultimately dying, though they believed he might have been alive for a few days and wasn't able to draw in a deep enough breath to yell. There's all sorts of speculation and theories as to why he never yelled for help, but it was believed that he had definitely been alive for quite awhile after the fall but, unfortunately, he died and wasn't found for several years. Customers complained constantly about the smell -- and many chose to stop shopping there because of it -- but no one ever figured out where it came from. Eventually, the store was being renovated or something and they found his body. I don't remember many of the particulars in the case, but that definitely sounds a lot like the one you mentioned in your comment.
you guys stories made me remember of the sad case of a young woman who drank too much in a party in a hotel room late at night, left the party and wandered, wobbling, to an unlocked empty kitchen in the same floor, find her way to a walk-in refrigerator and died of hypothermia in a short few hours while her family was already looking for her and hotel staff pretended to help but did nothing at all.
In my country, when a person is missing in places known to be deep forest or someway far from people, it is common to be found few days,few weeks or even months even tho the person POV is only 3 days or 3 hours. One of my ex classmate went missing for 4 days and he only feels like 1 day lol. He even went viral on the first day
Um what country is that because if its in any country where the sun sets and rises everyday then I think they might just be stupid if you cant count days and night if the sun sets every night.... So I hope you live in a country or area where the sun is down or up for weeks or months at a time
A buisness man in our area went missing while fishing at a lake. Wife later had him declared dead by a court. Two years after that, he turned up in Los Angeles homeless shelter. No memory of what happened. Insurance company wanted life and home owner insurance money back. However, policies said would pay with death certificate, OR a court decree saying he was dead. Since Widow?(wife) submitted court decree, insurance company couldn't get money back. Also, since insurance company couldn't prove fraud( it seems he did suffer from amnesia), they couldn't sue husband. I knew the judge, and he told me he would never again declare someone dead, without a body, ever again.
The largest chimney I saw in my whole life are the isolated 6" internal diameter which are very common in almost every households. What kind of giant chimney holes do people have in the US allowing a person to get inside 😕? This is crazy !
As a US citizen I can confirm our house designs are weird and our chimney designs are weirder. I saw a chimney in my town with its own separate roof 🤦🏼♀️
As an adult who was a well-traveled toddler, two miles is nothing. She could easily have walked 4-5 miles without distress, going around all those fences and barriers. As we lived on a farm when I was two, my mother's solution was to make sure the well-trained dog (Queenie, if you care), always went with me when I went outside. Being a labrador, she could be depended on to keep me out of water - and there wasn't much else that could cause any harm. I would return when Queenie wanted us to - she'd herd me, if necessary, when she was hungry. Labs aren't well-known as herders (because they aren't), but they won't leave a human in their charge, so she adapted. None of that explains the scream, but she may have taken a fright about something and started her travels as a panicked run. But it's only adults in this sedentary culture who even consider 2 miles a significant distance. Toddlers just keep moving.
Right. I was almost three, over five decades ago, when I performed my "disappearing act"... in "reverse", compared to the toddler incidents from the clip. I was with my mother, visiting my grandmother in a hospital when I disappeared. Two hours later I was home, at 8 km (about 5 miles) from the hospital, watching the TV with my father. As I've never been in that hospital before, and we just moved into the new apartment, my mother didn't believe that I will find my way home, so she alerted the hospital staff and the police, who were still looking for me in and around the hospital. Since we didn't have a phone yet, she came home to alert my father... then she had to go out and find a payphone to call off the search. Luckily for me, my father found the incident amusing, so I got away without a spanking.
We also lived on a farm when I was little. At 2 I took off from the milk parlor and went home (cross country) a quarter mile away...the thing was, I climbed two or three 5-strand barbed wire fences. So it is not a big deal for a child to do this.
@@traciwalker348 True enough. I can remember slithering under barbed wire at 9 or 10. No biggie at all. But if there were something that genuinely acted as a barrier, it's no big deal for a toddler to walk around it, either. Toddlers actually have a more efficient, if less elegant, walking mechanism than adults do (I just found out) and they don't wear themselves out thinking "how much farther" they have to go. They just keep moving, no destination or plan in mind.
I am sure some ( maybe most) missing toddlers end up far off doing just that, but some are found in places they just would not be able to get to. Like the child in the swamp here, I would like to know if the clothes showed signs of having been in the water or not.
Head trauma is such a terrible thing that can cause personality change, memory loss and you try cling to anything to keep going. Sadly I had a terrible fall backwards in a deadfall onto concrete, I have no memory of family, friends and anything from before that day, I had simple motor skills but have had to relearn a lot and still have no memory of family or that I was even engaged. If you ever see someone fall or look to pass out all I can say is try help break their fall, when it comes to a fight you could really mess up someones life or your own.
@@AmeliaEarhart537 I have but sadly no memories have come back but working on relearning skills and work on mental health. I have had big personality changes and even find it hard to talk or socialize but seeing doctors and taking steps to better myself. I even met others that have either been in accidents or had a fall that caused memory loss or personality changes, all they wish is to remember or for it to never happen to anyone else. I feel the same.
If you actually read "Rip Van Winkle", the famous story by Washington Irving you'll learn that the narrator flags the likely meaning of the story which is that Rip Van Winkle had staged his disappearance to escape from his nagging wife or to run off with someone else. (He returns when it's safe to do so). A number of these strange disappearances by married men are merely like that.
The Fritz case isn't really a "plot twist" as the niece already pinned him as her uncle, whose prints he matched. Also, how long was his identification in the Fritz name, seems like that would be an easy way to solve who he really was.
That last bit about the guy stuck in an flow hood is oddly familiar to me. This town i went to highschool in had a buffet that closed temporarily for health code violations and for renovations. When the time came to reopen, people claimed there was this awful smell. In a similar fashion, someone tried to sneak down the flow hood vent and got stuck head first. With it being a pretty big lot, not directly neighboring any other businesses, and being next to an interstate overpass- there's no way anyone would've heard cries for help. It's an awful way to go
i was always scared of outhouse toilets that have a huge hole thats really deep... if i fall in there i'll be covered in crap and be trapped until someone goes into the washroom, and maybe if the person doesnt notice and i'll be in there for longer
I once did a disappearing act as a 2 year old short version is I apparently figured out how to climb fences and scaled a tall backyard privacy fence and was just chilling in the front yard completely unharmed bonus it was on Easter so I also somehow also managed this in a frilly easter dress too...
@@quinnruss8650 I'd assume it's because kids are curious and at two you are just figuring out things as in becoming aware and mobile so everything is exciting and needs inspection
@@sakurakitsunestar i think the "peculiar" thing is how they manage to do it so fast that nobody see it before they get too far...when my kids were 2 and we were out i would never let them go to far from me or let them somewhere without watching them the whole time ,whenever we were i would constantly watch them ,every minute ..i would have got so scared if i would see them get far from me by themselves
U should make another video like this1 bcuz there are so many more well known stories of people who were found in most bizarre places! And I thank you so much for this video. It’s wonderful and funny at the same time!🤓
Now that we know more about mental disorders, we know how rare these episodes of dissociative fugue state or amnesia really are. There’s still so much we don’t know, but we know a lot more than we did in the early 1900s. Most of the time, these fantastic stories of people turning up having forgotten their entire old life are just that. Fantastic stories conjured up by con artists who wanted to start a new life.
Earlier this week, a friend of mine was found in a locked closet at my school. It turns out some of his friends dared him to go in there. But he never thought the other kids would lock it
The story about the missing uncle… I suspect, at least based on the evidence presented, that they are identical twins. That was my theory before you mentioned that he remembered growing up in an orphanage. So, unless they confirmed that he wasn’t in OK at the same time as the death (or something else where he had to be 2 places at once) I say that it’s not only plausible, but very likely, he’s his twin brother.
There are several videos' on this. He was Larry Bader and was thoroughly examined by several doctors who all agreed he was not faking. He truly believed he was John Friz Johnson. It wasn't his niece who noticed him but a friend of hers who was with her at the time. She did talk to him and he did denie he was her uncle. She contacted her father, (his brother), and he contacted their other brother; who then fly to where he was at the time. The brothers confronted him again and he did agree to go to the police station to be fingerprinted. He did not recognize anyone from his past. His wife, (the second one), divorced him, he lost his job at a local t.v. station, the community he lived in turned their backs on him, the insurance company went after him for the death benefits paid out to his first wife, and his life was ruined. He did not suddenly die, he had cancer and that's what killed him around a year later. It was thought that during the storm, he was hit in the head by something and that's what caused his memory loss and false memories. Although he did have surgery to remove a brain tumor, that was later in life which also blinded him in one eye causing him to have to wear an eyepatch over that eye.
That first one is beyond creepy. How did he get almost a thousand miles from where he started , over a year later? I mean I guess it’s cool that he made it back, but wtf? And what happened ? He is one of the only who made it back.
I think he was literally running/hiding from something. An affair maybe. Like Walter White's made up "fugue state" in the show Breaking Bad. Not sure if you're familiar. He probably got the idea to cover up an affair or some other bad act by allegedly "disappearing" for a week and not remembering anything. And did they ever find the trucker he allegedly rode out with (yet somehow didn't remember anything else except that important detail.) I don't remember the trucker ever coming forward. Would think the trucker would remember a weirder riding cross country with him.
Oops, i was thinking of the skier from like New Hampshire who somehow turned up in Sacramento a week later and claimed he couldn't remember anything. Except that he hitched a ride with a trucker. That's a convenient detail. Especially since no one ever came forward to say they had a weird amnesiac who rode with them across the country.
For that one guy who forgot who he was (I forget his name) what if he had a long lost twin. If he grew up in a orphanage then maybe his parents abandoned him
my husband told me of a story...a guy he knew in highschool, back in the 1960's, disappeared for a week.. when he finally showed up again, he said, somehow, he was transported back to the 1930's, and it took him a week to get back... actually my husband had a few odd stories about that guy...
Lol I know it’s probably not true but I’d like to think that maybe he is from another universe and he is just a dobbleganger. Maybe the other Larry got stuck in the other universe somehow. Idk just a weird theory
It's MK Ultra. Clearly, if it was the same person then he wouldn't have allowed the fingerprinting to happen. My theory is that he was cloned, then his clone had false memories implanted into it. What are the odds that he mysteriously drops dead right after the truth is revealed?
@@ftumusiclover1239 Another universe...sure... And even if there is another universe he simply took whatever they have there in that universe to travel in this universe... And where is Larry form this universe? Larrry number 2 kidnapped him and put him in that second universe? Let me give you piece of advice google and fid out about the law of parsimony, the "Occam's razor", important tool in logic and scientific thinking...
1 person every single day for the past 20 years has disappeared, in the Alaska triangle. 16000 people and Only tonight was the first I heard about it. There are also children disappearing in unbelievable amounts in Oregon
Same in Maine. Maine is the most heavily forested state in the lower 48 and half the state is uninhabited. Everyday, someone goes missing in the dense forests
When I and my younger eleven-year-old brother were playing hide and seek I found my brother in the most impossible place; he some how reached the top shelf of my closest and hid under my clothes and he only came out when I called him because I could not find him anywhere and even after opening my closet I couldn't make out he was hiding there
Whoever's reading this,I pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! amen
I remember just a few years ago a story about a 14-year-old who went missing. He was apparently looking for a place to escape some difficulties at home and planned to live temporarily in a vacation house in his neighborhood which wasn't occupied most of the year. He climbed up onto the roof thinking he could get into the house through the chimney, but got stuck. Sadly, he was found dead a couple of weeks later. A lot of people don't realize that unlike in movies or Santa stories that most chimney shafts have a slant at the bottom and don't go straight through.
My guess is the burglars never lived in a home that actually had a wood burning fireplace… Or they just didn’t know how it works or is built. Obviously the young kid in your very sad 😢 story would certainly not know this. If the burglars in the video did ever own or use one they would know this simple fact about an old brick 🧱 chimney design, construction , and how it works to vent smoke yet still radiate a large portion of heat out the front into the room (but obviously not all of it as that heat rising is exactly what makes it vent the smoke out the chimney stack in the first place. ) The real problem with someone trying to break into a home through an old wood 🪵 burning 🔥 style brick fireplace chimneys is this… Even if the opening at the bottom in the brick section in the brick itself may possibly be large enough to fit through , But the 1/4 inch plate steel damper doors and steel plate to which they are mounted on ( the Slanted section you speak of ) that are heavy bolted into those bricks is absolutely Not nearly big enough to fit your body through! inside the chimney directly above where you build the fire and usually even when fully opened ( like when you actually have a fire burning it’s Open but is normally in the back- towards the centre of the fireplace is in the Closed- position with a metal lever when you don’t have a fire burning or it continues to let in cold air or birds, bugs etc. if left open ) Even if it is in the Open-lever forward ( toward you / front of the fireplace) position that opening in the steel doors is only about 2 or 3 inches wide and about 2 to 3 feet long at the most in a regular sized home wood fireplace. Absolutely Nobody ! ( not even a small child ! ) is going to fit their body through that opening and just magically pop out into the living room ! With a modern gas or even pellet burning style fireplaces this isn’t even a concern at all the vent pipe is a piece of tin pipe going up to the chimney cap ( or directly through the wall ) to a “B” class vent section at the top. Other gas appliances ( hot water tank / furnace also use a “B” class vent and it’s usually only 5 or 6 inches round the same as the stretch tin vent pipe diameter . Unless it is a retrofit gas fireplace fit into an existing old wood style fireplace ( I installed hundreds of this exact style when I was a young tin basher installing about 700 or so furnaces, gas piping, hot water boilers, hot water tanks and venting for all of them as well as all the ductwork, rooftop units and about 350 gas fireplaces at 20 to 25 years old. This is exactly how I know they way they are all constructed no matter what type they are. ) then you are back to the damper door again ( why they sometimes use the stretch pipe squeezed a bit flat from its normally 5” round diameter to get through that exact damper door section wired open permanently, without removing the steel doors and plate ) unless it was fully removed and a new metal pan installed with a hole to run 5 inch vent pipe through fastened in its place. Even if you get that pan out which is not very likely without some tools and the room to use them. You still have the outer metal box of the gas fireplace itself mounted in front of you. Usually that is only 8 or 10 bolts drilled into the brick face but again with zero tools your are not going to get very far.
@@andrewpardue3324 I think you summed it up well with the point that anyone who grew up in a house with a fireplace knows that. But kids grow up with the Santa Claus story and movies where thieves get in through fireplaces so they don't know otherwise. Yes, the story about the 14-year-old was really tragic...
My neighbour got lost for 7 weeks idk what happened to him I only know that he got lost in a forest, sometimes people just get lost for a couple of weeks or years,by the way I love your videos, keep it UP!!! 😊

In Zimbabwe a brother and sister disappeared by the sacred inyangani mountain for years and when the returned they hadnt aged and thought theyd gone for a few hours. A lot of people go missing in this mountain but these two were lucky to return.
You missed a really good story to add to the chimney stories. A woman was trying to break into her ex boyfriend’s house and got stuck in the chimney. But no one was actually living there at the time. She died stuck inside. I think her corpse decay eventually signaled a problem in the chimney and that’s how it was discovered. This must’ve been in this century. But I can’t remember when.
You would be shocked at what and where kids can get into. I left my 3 year old playing with play-doh in the dining room while I ran upstairs real quick to put a load of laundry in. I was gone maybe 3 minutes. I came downstairs to him screaming for help. I found him on top of the refrigerator. No countertops, chairs, or tables near it. It's on a wall all by itself. the only possible explanation is he grabbed the door handle and spider man'd himself up the front of it, but he'd have to have super strength to do that. He's now going on 12YO and we still have no idea how he did it.
With the toddlers that ended up in another area...I think it was a large bird. They have been known to pick up babies and small animals. A large bird prob picked up the toddler, but dropped them due to the weight.
Amnesia, loud unexpected sound, bang. I know this. Happened to me. 8 inch valve cover ejected 8" into the bottom of my car. Picked my car up turning it into the direction I had just come from. The person handling my case said if I didn't have a memory flash before 4 months, it would be permanent. Days just short of the 4 I recognized my friend of 30 years. It was like I hadn't seen her for a long time. I heard a ping, electronic body sound. Jodie how have you been. It was extremely load sound. It's been a long journey returning to normal.
I'm glad you started getting some of your memories back. Those ultimatum from doctors are scary... my dad's doctor told him if he didn't have complete feeling in his bladder/bowels, within 1 year from the surgery to fix his paralysis, that he'd probably never have full control again. It's been years & he still doesn't have complete control but you'd never know, he handles it well.
I woke up from a coma in 2015 and had lost my memory, I mean, I didn't know anything. Thank god my family was very supportive. Its taken years to relearn things. I couldn't imagine what would've happened if I had no family to help. I would have just gone to a homeless shelter. For a long time I kept asking them why they were being so nice to me. I am doing much better now.
The disappeared man 👨 stories have been many such as the man about 40 years ago in New Jersey who lost his office job, then pretended for while to be going to work every day, until he then killed his wife and children and left the house lights on and he disappeared. Many years later, I think on America's most wanted, a recreation of his head was made and showing him aged on TV. He was later caught and it had been that he had a different name, job and wife.
When you see tree roots shaped like a body, I wonder if there’s a body buried underneath and the root traced its shape. Like a murder victim might be underneath. Does anyone ever investigate that?
Once when I was younger I got lost in Sainsbury’s and my father found me in the wine aisle with a bottle of wine that had a foot on it and I said” I want to drink feet wine” 💀💀

I heard a story of a Japanese soldier who was thought dead during WW2 being living alone in the jungles of Guam for 28 years only to be found by a local in 1972 27 years after the war ended.
The japanese man had no idea the war had ended and was really shocked about everything. Must of felt like time traveling and going the future. 28years alone detached from the world is wild.
This case is true really happened
I was stationed in Guam in the 90s. The hole he lived in was close to a really popular waterfall and it cost a couple bucks to go look at it.
If I remember correctly they found him by helicopter which confused him even more. Helicopter weren't developed til after World War Two was over.
Never came out because he heard airplanes from an airport that was built or something of that sort, crazy story lol

My grandpa told me that if he could find an unfindable house, he would live there. Many years ( around 30 ) have passed since he said that but he finally found the unfindable house 2 years ago. He lived in the Netherlands but now he lives in Portugal, in a town that isn’t on any map and not even on google. The town has existed for a long time so it’s a mystery why its so hard to find.
Cool
To be fair, there are a lot of small towns in Portugal that isn't showing on google maps :P

Strange things can happen if you get a head injury in an accident. I had that experience after a car accident. I was convinced my father was still alive even though he died 20 years previous. The weirdest thing was I had 'memories' of him being alive for those 20 years.
That sounds very Glitch in the Matrix like. Maybe you jumped from a parallel universe,lol.
I'm so sorry 😢
I believe it. I started having seizures in 2011 and had them for 3 years with no memories of that missing time. My last memory was walking to my English class in college in 1987. My first memory after the seizures was sitting in a hospital where I had been for several weeks. I didn't know my name or that I had a family including 2 children.
I've had help piecing some of my life together and luckily have many hours of video of my children growing up but still don't know how I ended up in a St Louis hospital 2 hours from my home. My doctors say I have temporal lobe damage and the reason I had forgotten how to walk, talk, read and write. I'm told my personality is different but I can't remember and spent the first 3 years crying because of all I lost.
I was mistaken for a missing girl with my same first name for about 4 years. Everywhere I went people called the police, I wasn't allowed in my friends houses, because their parents thought I was some kind of miscreant runaway.. That girl didnt even look like me nor was she the same age. Even in small towns, people are dumbasses.
😂😂😂 i wanna know more
please explain more!!
Tell us more!
No way that’s crazy! Did they ever find the girl?
i will say it is funny because it was all through no fault of your own. not to take shine away from your story .... But.. i will haha. in a period of 20 minutes i had people drive by looking and pointing at me as they drove by me. i thought my car was on fire. i drove into Walmart with 5 car caravan behind me.( feeling all love and appreciativeness of my fellow humans) . got out of car and all of a sudden it was a tribe around my car. apparently there was an Amber alert and my car was same color and one lic number off. I have to admit, I am not a pretty man and I looked the part. Thank goodness i was not wearing my raincoat. I would not have made it home and the well meaning children of the corn people following me would be talking about me at their barn meetings.

I've been to the ape caves, it is so easy to get lost when no light. As an adult and when my cell battery was draining and no light from it as headed to exit was very unnerving. Fortunately my family members cells still had light. I can't imagine being in there without any light what so ever. Good thing little girl was found.
I hate those things 😮
the doctor who remembered his doctoring skills but forgot everything else is not as unbelievable as it sounds. Clive wearing, aka Six-second clive has such bad amnesia that his memories basically reset every six seconds, like flicking a lightswitch off and on. despite this, he can still play piano, and very well too. despite him immediately forgetting everything, thousands of times a day, he still knows how to play the piano.
Yes, we have many different types of memories. For example there's a difference between remembering your favorite meal and remembering how to ride a bike.
So depending on where the damage is in the brain and the type of memory it is.... its very conceivable that someone could forget some things and not others. 🤷♀️
So like Finding Dory?
@@lucidfangirl1030 😄 Sounds about right.
There's a polish miniseries about a well known city doctor who was attacked and had amnesia. 10yrs later he's a laborer in a rural town who decided to help a poor depressed paralyzed miner and reset his leg so he can walk again. People started going to him until 1 patient needed extensive brain operation which he successfully did but needed antibiotics so he went to the city to get some, there he met his former colleague who instantly recognized him and witnessed his beating. He had kept quiet bec he was jealous and had gained his former mentors position since they had assumed his death. Alls well ended well. A really good show

As someone that has lost access to over 80% of my memories i can tell you that if you eliminate a con how someone loses their memories is very strange, while I had been losing access to my memories for a few years i had no idea it was happening as unlike a book shelf where you can see a missing book you don't have that with memoires until you encounter a situation, movie, person or whatever that you know you should know but have no memories on is your first clue, unfortunately the memories loss I had was also made far would by a very rare drug reaction. However the memories I lost access too were personal and autobiographical (memories of myself or my life) but I could still write my name, repair just about any kind of computer or electronics, cook food i never remember eating and on and on, so learn skills i not only remembered but could use that knowledge. I could read a textbook and retain the information in it, to use to do a task but a week later if you showed me the textbook i would not remember it at all. Ironically i can't remember the exact name of type of memories i retained at the moment of writing this, but once we identified the drug that was making this situation worse it was not the initial cause of the memory loss, I have recovered about 30% of my lost memories, so I can recall very clearly about 60% and the other 20% are fragments. So losing your memories is not even scary as you don't really know its happening most times. Journaling helped me a lot. anyways just wanted to put my story out there in part as a cautionary tail to be kind to ones who lose, are losing or have lost some or all of their memories.
ok cool 👍
Wow, thank you for sharing. I'm glad at least a partial cause and solution have been found for you. I think the type of memories you have lost are called "episodic" memories, and you're right, there's another word for the type you have retained. I hope that whatever happens for you going forward, others treat you with kindness and understanding. And thanks again for your perspective on this fascinating topic.

As for amnesia and a surgeon/doctor retaining their skills, it's exactly what you'd expect. An amnesiac loses (temporarily or permanently) the factual details of their life, as in who they were married to, how long they spent at a particular residence (or whether they were there at all, if for a short time). This is the stuff involving short-term or episodic memories, stored specifically in the hippocampus. The hippocampus can get bigger with memory trainong--it's notorious that London cab- cab-drivers do this, studying for "the Knowledge" or how to get around between London locations.
The thing that *doesn't* usually get lost unless there's something wrong physically and/or neurologically (possibly because it's stored in several brain locations) is kinetic/procedural memory. If you can ride a bike or a horse, drive a car, use eating utensils correctly for the milieu (UK/US/
everywhere else), write your signature, touch-type, use a smartphone/tablet/mouse... if you have severe amnesia you may not actually *know* you know these things (you don't remember learning them), but when prompted, you approach them correctly.
I love watching "Exploring With Josh" , he is very respectful of the places he visits and his enthusiasm for some of the locations and architecture is fun to watch. I'm sure he was very happy to reunite that girl with her family and was happy to help her. If he had snacks and water he would definitely have given her some. I'll have to see if I can find that video. Thanks for mentioning him.

I heard a chimney story from a school teacher in high school. The teacher claims a couple bought a house that had been abandoned for some time. It had begun to fall into disrepair, and there was an odor, and the smoke often would billow into the room. Turns out there was a man who had tried to break into the house for a robbery, but he gotten stuck in the chimney. The previous owners moved out for this unpleasant odor, especially while using the fireplace. This man had died in the chimney, and no one knew he was there. The man was a missing person that had been missing for over ten years. His body was basically smoked and dried like beef jerky over the years as they burned fires. Mortified I would be.
In the 80's, a girl.was kidnapped and thrown into an outhouse. I was very young. I grew up terrified that I would find someone stuck in the disgusting pit.

Honestly, I think Steven knew exactly what he'd been up to. He decided he was done being MIA and needed an excuse to give to his family when he finally returned. His "vow of silence" in regards to his disappearance is likely just him not wanting to explain himself.
Probably. It's pretty hard to just "vanish", unless you actually have a medical condition, verified by professionals. Either way, I guess he got what he wanted.

As far as Larry's death goes I see 3 options, 1. Amnesiac 2. Run-a-way or 3. based on his memory of being in an orphanage, an unknown twin who would have the same fingerprints.

@@jellybean2876 Great answer, so many people think that identical twins have identical prints!!

I've heard stories in the past about dumb criminals trying to enter residences through the chimney, and once where a man tried to get to his ex-girlfriend's house through the chimney. Apparently would be Santa's are fairly common.

Can't watch this right now, need sleep but I remember a worker getting stuck behind a refrigerated display case suffocating and his body being found much later. So sad.
It may not be the same case you're talking about, but a grocery store worker in Iowa was up on top of two long rows of refrigerated sections -- that sat back-to-back- about 12" apart -- and fell down between them, ultimately dying, though they believed he might have been alive for a few days and wasn't able to draw in a deep enough breath to yell. There's all sorts of speculation and theories as to why he never yelled for help, but it was believed that he had definitely been alive for quite awhile after the fall but, unfortunately, he died and wasn't found for several years. Customers complained constantly about the smell -- and many chose to stop shopping there because of it -- but no one ever figured out where it came from. Eventually, the store was being renovated or something and they found his body. I don't remember many of the particulars in the case, but that definitely sounds a lot like the one you mentioned in your comment.
you guys stories made me remember of the sad case of a young woman who drank too much in a party in a hotel room late at night, left the party and wandered, wobbling, to an unlocked empty kitchen in the same floor, find her way to a walk-in refrigerator and died of hypothermia in a short few hours while her family was already looking for her and hotel staff pretended to help but did nothing at all.
In my country, when a person is missing in places known to be deep forest or someway far from people, it is common to be found few days,few weeks or even months even tho the person POV is only 3 days or 3 hours. One of my ex classmate went missing for 4 days and he only feels like 1 day lol. He even went viral on the first day

A buisness man in our area went missing while fishing at a lake. Wife later had him declared dead by a court. Two years after that, he turned up in Los Angeles homeless shelter. No memory of what happened.
Insurance company wanted life and home owner insurance money back. However, policies said would pay with death certificate, OR a court decree saying he was dead. Since Widow?(wife) submitted court decree, insurance company couldn't get money back. Also, since insurance company couldn't prove fraud( it seems he did suffer from amnesia), they couldn't sue husband.
I knew the judge, and he told me he would never again declare someone dead, without a body, ever again.

@@leighanneboles4386 Hey, English is not my first language. Sorry if I confused you.
As an adult who was a well-traveled toddler, two miles is nothing. She could easily have walked 4-5 miles without distress, going around all those fences and barriers. As we lived on a farm when I was two, my mother's solution was to make sure the well-trained dog (Queenie, if you care), always went with me when I went outside. Being a labrador, she could be depended on to keep me out of water - and there wasn't much else that could cause any harm. I would return when Queenie wanted us to - she'd herd me, if necessary, when she was hungry. Labs aren't well-known as herders (because they aren't), but they won't leave a human in their charge, so she adapted.
None of that explains the scream, but she may have taken a fright about something and started her travels as a panicked run. But it's only adults in this sedentary culture who even consider 2 miles a significant distance. Toddlers just keep moving.
Also, toddlers float. Swimming is required for controlling your direction, not for drifting with the current.
Right. I was almost three, over five decades ago, when I performed my "disappearing act"... in "reverse", compared to the toddler incidents from the clip.
I was with my mother, visiting my grandmother in a hospital when I disappeared. Two hours later I was home, at 8 km (about 5 miles) from the hospital, watching the TV with my father. As I've never been in that hospital before, and we just moved into the new apartment, my mother didn't believe that I will find my way home, so she alerted the hospital staff and the police, who were still looking for me in and around the hospital. Since we didn't have a phone yet, she came home to alert my father... then she had to go out and find a payphone to call off the search. Luckily for me, my father found the incident amusing, so I got away without a spanking.
We also lived on a farm when I was little. At 2 I took off from the milk parlor and went home (cross country) a quarter mile away...the thing was, I climbed two or three 5-strand barbed wire fences. So it is not a big deal for a child to do this.
@@traciwalker348 True enough. I can remember slithering under barbed wire at 9 or 10. No biggie at all. But if there were something that genuinely acted as a barrier, it's no big deal for a toddler to walk around it, either. Toddlers actually have a more efficient, if less elegant, walking mechanism than adults do (I just found out) and they don't wear themselves out thinking "how much farther" they have to go. They just keep moving, no destination or plan in mind.
I am sure some ( maybe most) missing toddlers end up far off doing just that, but some are found in places they just would not be able to get to. Like the child in the swamp here, I would like to know if the clothes showed signs of having been in the water or not.
Head trauma is such a terrible thing that can cause personality change, memory loss and you try cling to anything to keep going. Sadly I had a terrible fall backwards in a deadfall onto concrete, I have no memory of family, friends and anything from before that day, I had simple motor skills but have had to relearn a lot and still have no memory of family or that I was even engaged. If you ever see someone fall or look to pass out all I can say is try help break their fall, when it comes to a fight you could really mess up someones life or your own.
Do you know if you've met your family since then?
@@AmeliaEarhart537 I have but sadly no memories have come back but working on relearning skills and work on mental health. I have had big personality changes and even find it hard to talk or socialize but seeing doctors and taking steps to better myself. I even met others that have either been in accidents or had a fall that caused memory loss or personality changes, all they wish is to remember or for it to never happen to anyone else. I feel the same.

If you actually read "Rip Van Winkle", the famous story by Washington Irving you'll learn that the narrator flags the likely meaning of the story which is that Rip Van Winkle had staged his disappearance to escape from his nagging wife or to run off with someone else. (He returns when it's safe to do so). A number of these strange disappearances by married men are merely like that.
The Fritz case isn't really a "plot twist" as the niece already pinned him as her uncle, whose prints he matched. Also, how long was his identification in the Fritz name, seems like that would be an easy way to solve who he really was.
That last bit about the guy stuck in an flow hood is oddly familiar to me. This town i went to highschool in had a buffet that closed temporarily for health code violations and for renovations. When the time came to reopen, people claimed there was this awful smell. In a similar fashion, someone tried to sneak down the flow hood vent and got stuck head first. With it being a pretty big lot, not directly neighboring any other businesses, and being next to an interstate overpass- there's no way anyone would've heard cries for help. It's an awful way to go
i was always scared of outhouse toilets that have a huge hole thats really deep... if i fall in there i'll be covered in crap and be trapped until someone goes into the washroom, and maybe if the person doesnt notice and i'll be in there for longer
I once did a disappearing act as a 2 year old short version is I apparently figured out how to climb fences and scaled a tall backyard privacy fence and was just chilling in the front yard completely unharmed bonus it was on Easter so I also somehow also managed this in a frilly easter dress too...

@@quinnruss8650 I'd assume it's because kids are curious and at two you are just figuring out things as in becoming aware and mobile so everything is exciting and needs inspection
@@sakurakitsunestar i think the "peculiar" thing is how they manage to do it so fast that nobody see it before they get too far...when my kids were 2 and we were out i would never let them go to far from me or let them somewhere without watching them the whole time ,whenever we were i would constantly watch them ,every minute ..i would have got so scared if i would see them get far from me by themselves

U should make another video like this1 bcuz there are so many more well known stories of people who were found in most bizarre places! And I thank you so much for this video. It’s wonderful and funny at the same time!🤓
Congrats for the subjects in the vids on this channel, but specially to the narration!
Now that we know more about mental disorders, we know how rare these episodes of dissociative fugue state or amnesia really are. There’s still so much we don’t know, but we know a lot more than we did in the early 1900s. Most of the time, these fantastic stories of people turning up having forgotten their entire old life are just that. Fantastic stories conjured up by con artists who wanted to start a new life.
There's two voices on this channel and am listening to the best of the two always makes my day
I’m just glad everyone was safe maybe mentally hurt but safe
Well most
Earlier this week, a friend of mine was found in a locked closet at my school. It turns out some of his friends dared him to go in there. But he never thought the other kids would lock it
The story about the missing uncle… I suspect, at least based on the evidence presented, that they are identical twins. That was my theory before you mentioned that he remembered growing up in an orphanage. So, unless they confirmed that he wasn’t in OK at the same time as the death (or something else where he had to be 2 places at once) I say that it’s not only plausible, but very likely, he’s his twin brother.
ÆÆÆAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
I thought of this too initially, but even twins have different fingerprints…this really is baffling
There are several videos' on this. He was Larry Bader and was thoroughly examined by several doctors who all agreed he was not faking. He truly believed he was John Friz Johnson. It wasn't his niece who noticed him but a friend of hers who was with her at the time. She did talk to him and he did denie he was her uncle. She contacted her father, (his brother), and he contacted their other brother; who then fly to where he was at the time. The brothers confronted him again and he did agree to go to the police station to be fingerprinted. He did not recognize anyone from his past. His wife, (the second one), divorced him, he lost his job at a local t.v. station, the community he lived in turned their backs on him, the insurance company went after him for the death benefits paid out to his first wife, and his life was ruined. He did not suddenly die, he had cancer and that's what killed him around a year later. It was thought that during the storm, he was hit in the head by something and that's what caused his memory loss and false memories. Although he did have surgery to remove a brain tumor, that was later in life which also blinded him in one eye causing him to have to wear an eyepatch over that eye.
Twins still have completely different fingerprints... So that theory... Out the window. Sorry to disappoint
Twins have different fingerprints
That first one is beyond creepy. How did he get almost a thousand miles from where he started , over a year later? I mean I guess it’s cool that he made it back, but wtf? And what happened ? He is one of the only who made it back.
Ikr
I think he was literally running/hiding from something. An affair maybe. Like Walter White's made up "fugue state" in the show Breaking Bad. Not sure if you're familiar. He probably got the idea to cover up an affair or some other bad act by allegedly "disappearing" for a week and not remembering anything. And did they ever find the trucker he allegedly rode out with (yet somehow didn't remember anything else except that important detail.) I don't remember the trucker ever coming forward. Would think the trucker would remember a weirder riding cross country with him.
Oops, i was thinking of the skier from like New Hampshire who somehow turned up in Sacramento a week later and claimed he couldn't remember anything. Except that he hitched a ride with a trucker. That's a convenient detail. Especially since no one ever came forward to say they had a weird amnesiac who rode with them across the country.
For that one guy who forgot who he was (I forget his name) what if he had a long lost twin. If he grew up in a orphanage then maybe his parents abandoned him
my husband told me of a story...a guy he knew in highschool, back in the 1960's, disappeared for a week.. when he finally showed up again, he said, somehow, he was transported back to the 1930's, and it took him a week to get back... actually my husband had a few odd stories about that guy...
Tell us more, please?
Hi @Violet dreams could u share what are the other stories about that guy?
Wow
Now you started it people want to hear it I certainly do lol
Same lol
Did Larry really forget about his previous life or pretend to forget there's a big difference.
Lol I know it’s probably not true but I’d like to think that maybe he is from another universe and he is just a dobbleganger. Maybe the other Larry got stuck in the other universe somehow. Idk just a weird theory
The fact that he had a brain tumor, makes it more likely that he actually suffered from amnesia.
It's MK Ultra. Clearly, if it was the same person then he wouldn't have allowed the fingerprinting to happen. My theory is that he was cloned, then his clone had false memories implanted into it. What are the odds that he mysteriously drops dead right after the truth is revealed?
@@ftumusiclover1239 Another universe...sure... And even if there is another universe he simply took whatever they have there in that universe to travel in this universe... And where is Larry form this universe? Larrry number 2 kidnapped him and put him in that second universe? Let me give you piece of advice google and fid out about the law of parsimony, the "Occam's razor", important tool in logic and scientific thinking...
Hi
Well, I don't know what's worse but I do know that being found and preferably found alive is already a good thing.
1 person every single day for the past 20 years has disappeared, in the Alaska triangle. 16000 people and Only tonight was the first I heard about it. There are also children disappearing in unbelievable amounts in Oregon
Oregon is so scary, ngl. Don't they have the weird park disappearances there too?
Same in Maine. Maine is the most heavily forested state in the lower 48 and half the state is uninhabited. Everyday, someone goes missing in the dense forests
The discovery in the tree sends chills down my spine very eerie
21:39 amazing feat that he survived that! Such things could make more brazen death defiance, rather than inhibit that process.
very true! good point
When I and my younger eleven-year-old brother were playing hide and seek I found my brother in the most impossible place; he some how reached the top shelf of my closest and hid under my clothes and he only came out when I called him because I could not find him anywhere and even after opening my closet I couldn't make out he was hiding there
Whoever's reading this,I pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! amen
Just what i needed! The universe send me to you!
Thanks...i needed this
14:27 Sorry😂😂. Im just listening while working thats why my sense of hearing is at its best.
😂😂
I remember just a few years ago a story about a 14-year-old who went missing. He was apparently looking for a place to escape some difficulties at home and planned to live temporarily in a vacation house in his neighborhood which wasn't occupied most of the year. He climbed up onto the roof thinking he could get into the house through the chimney, but got stuck. Sadly, he was found dead a couple of weeks later.
A lot of people don't realize that unlike in movies or Santa stories that most chimney shafts have a slant at the bottom and don't go straight through.
My guess is the burglars never lived in a home that actually had a wood burning fireplace… Or they just didn’t know how it works or is built. Obviously the young kid in your very sad 😢 story would certainly not know this.
If the burglars in the video did ever own or use one they would know this simple fact about an old brick 🧱 chimney design, construction , and how it works to vent smoke yet still radiate a large portion of heat out the front into the room (but obviously not all of it as that heat rising is exactly what makes it vent the smoke out the chimney stack in the first place. )
The real problem with someone trying to break into a home through an old wood 🪵 burning 🔥 style brick fireplace chimneys is this… Even if the opening at the bottom in the brick section in the brick itself may possibly be large enough to fit through , But the 1/4 inch plate steel damper doors and steel plate to which they are mounted on ( the Slanted section you speak of ) that are heavy bolted into those bricks is absolutely Not nearly big enough to fit your body through! inside the chimney directly above where you build the fire and usually even when fully opened ( like when you actually have a fire burning it’s Open but is normally in the back- towards the centre of the fireplace is in the Closed- position with a metal lever when you don’t have a fire burning or it continues to let in cold air or birds, bugs etc. if left open )
Even if it is in the Open-lever forward ( toward you / front of the fireplace) position that opening in the steel doors is only about 2 or 3 inches wide and about 2 to 3 feet long at the most in a regular sized home wood fireplace. Absolutely Nobody ! ( not even a small child ! ) is going to fit their body through that opening and just magically pop out into the living room ! With a modern gas or even pellet burning style fireplaces this isn’t even a concern at all the vent pipe is a piece of tin pipe going up to the chimney cap ( or directly through the wall ) to a “B” class vent section at the top. Other gas appliances ( hot water tank / furnace also use a “B” class vent and it’s usually only 5 or 6 inches round the same as the stretch tin vent pipe diameter . Unless it is a retrofit gas fireplace fit into an existing old wood style fireplace ( I installed hundreds of this exact style when I was a young tin basher installing about 700 or so furnaces, gas piping, hot water boilers, hot water tanks and venting for all of them as well as all the ductwork, rooftop units and about 350 gas fireplaces at 20 to 25 years old. This is exactly how I know they way they are all constructed no matter what type they are. ) then you are back to the damper door again ( why they sometimes use the stretch pipe squeezed a bit flat from its normally 5” round diameter to get through that exact damper door section wired open permanently, without removing the steel doors and plate ) unless it was fully removed and a new metal pan installed with a hole to run 5 inch vent pipe through fastened in its place. Even if you get that pan out which is not very likely without some tools and the room to use them. You still have the outer metal box of the gas fireplace itself mounted in front of you. Usually that is only 8 or 10 bolts drilled into the brick face but again with zero tools your are not going to get very far.
@@andrewpardue3324 I think you summed it up well with the point that anyone who grew up in a house with a fireplace knows that.
But kids grow up with the Santa Claus story and movies where thieves get in through fireplaces so they don't know otherwise.
Yes, the story about the 14-year-old was really tragic...
My neighbour got lost for 7 weeks idk what happened to him I only know that he got lost in a forest, sometimes people just get lost for a couple of weeks or years,by the way I love your videos, keep it UP!!! 😊
One minor point of correction, having lived there for a few years Ceres California is pronounced the same as the word “series”.
You should do more dumbest way people died i absolutely adore the
Finally, someone who doesn't appologize for their puns! Puns are so underrated for some reason, I can't fathom why people hate them so much
Thank you for actually mentioning the thumbnail that you used. It gets annoying when UA-camrs use thumbnails that have no connection to the video itself
I love all these stories of "and the evidence mysteriously disappeared"
Mysteriously (and purposely) disappeared
THIS IS INSANE good job i love these videos
I am from Norway. To be stuck in a Toilet must be an unpleasant experience.
In Zimbabwe a brother and sister disappeared by the sacred inyangani mountain for years and when the returned they hadnt aged and thought theyd gone for a few hours. A lot of people go missing in this mountain but these two were lucky to return.
I always enjoy watching new uploaded videos on this channel. Keep up the good work! 😉🖒
I remembered that I saw this tree at school on a hill, and it looked like a big human foot.And I giggled at the sight.😂
You missed a really good story to add to the chimney stories. A woman was trying to break into her ex boyfriend’s house and got stuck in the chimney. But no one was actually living there at the time. She died stuck inside. I think her corpse decay eventually signaled a problem in the chimney and that’s how it was discovered. This must’ve been in this century. But I can’t remember when.
Can you maybe make a ghost story video please? Also I love your videos they are so interesting!
we may have something like that in the works - keep your eyes peeled 😋
And maybe someday, BE AMAZED would make:
Dead UA-camrs That Died from Severe Diseases
You would be shocked at what and where kids can get into. I left my 3 year old playing with play-doh in the dining room while I ran upstairs real quick to put a load of laundry in. I was gone maybe 3 minutes. I came downstairs to him screaming for help. I found him on top of the refrigerator. No countertops, chairs, or tables near it. It's on a wall all by itself. the only possible explanation is he grabbed the door handle and spider man'd himself up the front of it, but he'd have to have super strength to do that. He's now going on 12YO and we still have no idea how he did it.
You need to check out Missing 411 in detail, though I think you'll find yourself a bit stumped.
With the toddlers that ended up in another area...I think it was a large bird. They have been known to pick up babies and small animals. A large bird prob picked up the toddler, but dropped them due to the weight.
Yeah, I think a big bird of prey is a good guess.
That's exactly what I came to say. Sounds like birds that made other dinner choices part way through.
That's an old legend. Who knows? I do know toddlers are genius at wandering off. As for surviving? I'm just glad a few have.
Bruh spoiler
Thanks mate I needed that today
4:27 i actually wonder if family gets a compensation for broken chimney.
I wondered that too lol
Insurance probably covered it
@@KrispyBlackSilverCounselor12 : I certainly hope so, as there seemed to be a lot of damage - - that would be costly to repair!!
Thank you for the amazing content!
Thanks for watching!
@@BeAmazed ❤️
Wow, way too many people not only believe in Santa, they believe they can go down a chimney!
Great stories I really enjoyed all of them. Thank you.
Wych elms are remarkably resilient and I’d love to have some on my property!
Amnesia, loud unexpected sound, bang. I know this. Happened to me. 8 inch valve cover ejected 8" into the bottom of my car. Picked my car up turning it into the direction I had just come from. The person handling my case said if I didn't have a memory flash before 4 months, it would be permanent. Days just short of the 4 I recognized my friend of 30 years. It was like I hadn't seen her for a long time. I heard a ping, electronic body sound. Jodie how have you been. It was extremely load sound. It's been a long journey returning to normal.
I'm glad you started getting some of your memories back. Those ultimatum from doctors are scary... my dad's doctor told him if he didn't have complete feeling in his bladder/bowels, within 1 year from the surgery to fix his paralysis, that he'd probably never have full control again. It's been years & he still doesn't have complete control but you'd never know, he handles it well.
Another rate finding of a BE AMAZED voice crack at 14:26
I woke up from a coma in 2015 and had lost my memory, I mean, I didn't know anything. Thank god my family was very supportive. Its taken years to relearn things. I couldn't imagine what would've happened if I had no family to help. I would have just gone to a homeless shelter. For a long time I kept asking them why they were being so nice to me. I am doing much better now.
Never underestimate the ingenuity, persistence, and stubbornness of a toddler. Never try to tell one there's something they can't do.
My dad disappeared one day when I was young. He was reported to have been going out to get milk but we never found him at the store…🧐
You must have the same dad as me
He left to go get the milk and never came back
The disappeared man 👨 stories have been
many such as the man about 40 years ago
in New Jersey who lost his office job, then
pretended for while to be going to work
every day, until he then killed his wife and
children and left the house lights on and
he disappeared. Many years later, I think
on America's most wanted, a recreation of
his head was made and showing him aged
on TV. He was later caught and it had been
that he had a different name, job and wife.
John List, I believe.
When you see tree roots shaped like a body, I wonder if there’s a body buried underneath and the root traced its shape. Like a murder victim might be underneath. Does anyone ever investigate that?
I wondered that too.
Wow
oh yeah..
Once when I was younger I got lost in Sainsbury’s and my father found me in the wine aisle with a bottle of wine that had a foot on it and I said” I want to drink feet wine” 💀💀
I think rowen got swept away but was somehow able to stay up above the water and grabbed the tree and climbed it
Him: says grab your detective hat
Me: actually owns one and puts it on
Me: goes online to buy detective costume
Also Me: Just buys it
Me: YEP ok now I'm ready (even tho it's still not here)
My sister: WHYY!?
What?! 😂😂
I do things like this too 😂😂😂
