    Would have liked the order of the cabins to be randomised in case people find the first time sitting alone more scary than the 4th time.

      I thought the same, but then I realized that if the novelty of going in the first cabin was stronger than the sound that was supposed to make you hallucinate ghosts, then the myth was busted from the get-go

      Pretty sure Adam is a lot taller than Jamie, so it's probably just that Adam's longer strides make up for the difference in strength.

    If you ever had to move any freshly dead animal, you know it so much harder. We are just gelatin stuck to bones, once the muscles go completly limp, it is just weird. Even asleep we keep our muscles rigid.

    You can definitely smell fear. Especially when you shit your pants

  • @winnielombaard8984
    @winnielombaard8984 2 месяца назад +6

    And with the dead bodies - should you not take into account for rigor mortis as well....not in all cases, but in some? If they are stiff....that changes the situation a lot.

    • @theroamer2663
      @theroamer2663 2 месяца назад +1

      Generally rigor mortis is only noticeable in the face within the first 2 hours, the limbs, though, can take up to 8 hours to fully stiffen.
      EDIT: to clarify, the progression of rigor mortis depends on muscle size. Facial muscles, then fingers and toes, upper limbs, then lower limbs

    You should test the fear with an animal like a dog - who can smell much better ... and according to the urban legend....dogs can smell fear and will attack - so test it against how dogs react?

    • @nickyoung9108
      @nickyoung9108 2 месяца назад +6

      I thought they should have too but there'll be a technical problem of determining and differentiating a dog's reaction. It's not like you're testing what smell repels dog where its response is obvious; or it's a trained bomb or drug sniffing with a trained action when they detect a positive. Highly unlikely someone took the time to train a dog to respond to smell fear.

      I thought it was already debunked that dogs can't actually smell fear but react to your movement instead.
      And a scared person will be loud and flail around which in turn gets the dog more exited and also activates his chase instinct.

    idunno if i agree about the frequency one, not sure if it's the methodology or whatever, but if you were to have 4 identical rooms, with one of them having the inaudible sub bass, it seems obvious to me that, that would make it scarier(it's something you can feel but not hear, and it's not exactly a comfortable feeling), also in their examples they mention machines like fridge hums which would be more audible and not necessarily a flat 19hz tone without any resonance. I would agree that the specific frequency is busted, but there's definitely more to it

    I don't know about the smell of fear but my dad said he had a dog that would jump the backyard fence every morning and go for a run and then come home. However, when one guy walked past the backyard the dog would growl and charge at the fence and bounce off only when one guy would walk by and the dog would watch this guy basically tremble in fear. I also know my neighbour at our cottage had a dog and the dog would charge at anyone it could find to bite them, and if you could just not be affected by the dog the dog would do nothing, one day I couldn't handle it anymore and the dog jumped at me and I guess I got luck because the dog did just bite my shorts so it new this time I was scared. Dogs can be wonderful companions but they can also be terrifying.

    It DOES smell, but nose can be not evolved to detect it. Our nose is device recognizing specified parrticles, and patterns made by that particles. Fear is hormone, its a substance injected in our stomach. So it does, surely, as EVERY parti le in the universe. But we unable to feel it through skin, etc. Its in a stomach, plus in a brain. Fizyka

    Myth CONFIRMED < by me > it is actually 7 hertz, and it only works if you don't know it there and it makes you jump,
    the reaction is 3 hours later when your bowels empty in liquid fashion,
    i can confirm this, it works probably better on headphones that can replicate 5 to 35 khz , try listening to the song, LOLITA by the veronicas, it hits the low notes it made me feel like someone was banging on a wall right behind my head which was impossible to it created an altered state of sorts ,
    sure enough within 3 hours later, suffice to say i didn't need laxatives
    but if you know your testing for it , its not going to make you jump or spike the adrenaline which is the biological method of crapping ones self.

    I did not know that humans could smell fear, I have know animals with much more sensitive nosed could... But one day I was brining my brothers cat with me in a cab going to the airport to bring him with me to our childhood home and I had to go out of the cab to the other side to get the cat cage with me. And the poor cat got terrible frightened for some reason that I was going to leave him there. It smelled like cat pee but there was no cat pee, then when I got into the airport I realized my hands was shaking so much from adrenaline that I could barely manage to give the airport clerk my ticket. Not only did I smell the fear of the cat, but it was contagious and EXSTREMELY so, it was like I had take 5 double dose of adrenaline / ephedrine.

    All I have to say about the coffin experience for testing the smell of fear is I’m sure glad it wasn’t me being exposed to those creepy crawlers especially the scorpions because those I’d personally be most freaked out about and not because they’d be most likely to sting me even if I didn’t move all because I’m already a bug magnet because my veins are at the surface and I radiate more heat than most people

      There are countless reasons to be scared of rats... Legit JUST watched a video by a creator (Shawn woods) who made a "Judas/traitor rat trap" - and man... One of the invasive wild brown rats he caught was FRICKEN AGGRESSIVE... He had it in a big ass garbage bin, and the rat was jumping like 2 feet off the ground trying to bite the fingers of his gloves... Making this SUPER high pitched demon hell shriek the entire time he was trying to pick it up and move it into the new trap...
      The diseases and ticks and fleas they can carry...
      Have you heard of the black plague?!

      Just because YOU aren't scared of something, doesn't mean it's irrational or weird for others to feel the exact opposite. I'm not scared of spiders, but I also live in Canada... Maybe I'd feel VERY different living around massive tarantulas, poisonous/deadly spiders... Etc etc...
