A death-row inmate who spoke to Ted fairly regularly asked him privately, why he did what he did and Ted said "because I liked it". That's probably about as honest an answer as we'll ever get on the matter from him.
Sometimes while in prison ,inmates will say things that they may feel that they want others to hear. Especially if it makes them sound like a ruthless killer who will kill and resort to violence at any time. Somewhat a defense mechanism. So other guys in prison won't mess with him.
One of the scariest video clips on Bundy that I've seen (which I since haven't been able to find) is when the jurys' verdict came in guilty. His charisma immediately disappeared and he turned around, faced the jury and raged with a facial expression like a caged wild animal. His narcissism was so profound the thought of a guilty verdict never occurred to him.
He was so confident in his abilities to be a lawyer he was convinced that he would not be found guilty, so it was a big surprise to him when he was found guilty, and then given the death penalty. In a way, he didn't mind the death penalty because it gave him more attention.
From Bill Frakes the photographer: “This is the photograph I get asked about the most. Ted Bundy, the day he was sentenced to death. I was in the courtroom, focused solely on Bundy. This was 1979 and I was an intern at Miami Herald-cameras in the courtroom were a “new” thing in Florida. The rule was the camera had to be as quiet as a Leica. But I needed longer glass than the 135 we had for the Leica. So I wrapped an SLR in foam, gaffer taped it in place and used a 300 f4.5 lens. I was shooting at 1/30 of second and pushing TriX film to 3200. It was a huge gamble. I shot very few frames that day, afraid I’d make too much noise and Judge Cowart would throw me out-it was pretty tense in the room. Earlier in the day I’d made an image of Bundy praying that was the front page lead. The great Gene Miller, two time Pulitzer Prize winning writer was covering the story for the Herald. I got back to the paper, souped the film, incredibly nervous about what I was going to find. I edited the film, printed this frame, gave the film to the pool who were anxiously waiting to see what I had (only one photographer allowed in the courtroom so the images were shared) . I took the print out to Miller’s desk where he was pounding furiously on his typewriter-handed it to him and said you should see this. He looked at me, yanked the paper from his typewriter and started over. The question I get asked is what was Bundy thinking? I have no idea. But it was the only split second of emotion I saw in more than a hundred hours of watching.”
cv xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx vc@@drgexplains It looked like he was getting sexual feelings just talking about the murders, the way he wiggled around and moved different ways. He had a lot of years to fantasize about what he did.
he was haunted by a Demon Entity i never seen anybody wih suh evil eyes. Sometimes you could see when the Demon takes over his eyes almost popping out of his socket.
Yes. Some prolific serial killers killed their victims in extremely brutal ways; but the sheer savagery in which Bundy attacked his victims is utterly terrifying. Bundy's psyche goes beyond narcissism and psychopathy.
I read a book on him that still to this day... When I think about it ... Makes me turn a light on ... The worst most sick crimes I've ever heard or read about... He's terrifying... The terrifying thing is there are more of them out there and we know that just by simple fact😳
Sure, he has what you perceive as “the scariest eyes,” only because you view him with PRECONCEIVED JUDGEMENT and you already expected his eyes to affect you in a negative way AFTER his disgusting acts were revealed to you! So many people unknowingly fall victim to their own preconceived perceptions because it is a protective mechanism, causing the viewer to associate a killer with “scary eyes.”
Yes the true face for just a glimpse. He’s terrifying. Also when his eyes flick up just a second to see if anyone is buying this bs. And then he smiles. That’s the real Bundy.
He is most definately terrifying because he was very good at communicating and conning people. At least if you have Richard Ramirez asking to use the phone you’d be like yeah, NO! But Bundy is so well spoken and his clothing, looks and social interactions mattered to him.
He is one of the most interesting serial killers I have ever watched and read about. His ability to charm people and hide his narcissism (before lay-people understood narcissism) is remarkably terrifying.
Not in a interview but to his unassuming victims, he was very charming. He’s been described as a “chivalrous gentlemen”. In prison interviews I didn’t find him charming but in town I could see how he was perceived as that normal yet above average guy.
4 Extremely Disturbing Interviews With Psychopaths... there are several on YT, this one is really disturbing. The first guy is a child molester, be warned.
“I’m going to show that I’m right”, is so telling to me. He doesn’t say he’s going to show he’s innocent, just that he was “right”. Because it’s the victim’s fault, and he doesn’t see his behaviors as morally wrong. Just a quick Freudian slip that tells us so much about his mindset.
Its insane that he sat in front of the world for years denying all the horrific things he done to the victims and people believed every word he said , for years he was in prison claiming his innocence and a lot of people really did believe he was an innocent man accused, then just before he was executed he confessed, can you imagine how that felt for his mother, his family,friends and wife who all that time believed he was innocent, I don't understand how anyone could believe a word he said tbh
So, you think his mother was bothered that he confessed his crimes to God for forgiveness. So you think his mother didnt want him to confess his crimes to God..
His wife, married him while he was in prison. She said she had his baby, that they snuck off during a visit and he impregnated her. Hard to believe that could happen. A pack of women were fixated on him during his trial and sat in the back every day. They fell in love with him so they said. Some women really like the really bad boys.
@@bradsanders6954 yeah, Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker, had a pack of "groupies" in the courtroom, every day. These women are clearly demented. I saw a few of them interviewed. Most of them said they knew he committed these heinous crimes but felt he needed warmth and compassion which he never had (this is true, he had a horrific childhood which included his father beating on him constantly, an uncle who shot Richard's aunt point blank in the face, and many other atrocities) He also fell on his head from high places not once, but twice. Most psychiatrists and psychologists believe that serious falls when an infant can lead to brain damage affecting empathy and judgement. He also got married while imprisoned but his wife divorced him a little while later.
My college professor was Dr. Ronald Holmes and he interviewed him extensively. He said his wife would get so angry when the phone would ring and it was Bundy calling the house. He was my favorite professor.
I felt sorry for his girlfriend, Liz, in the Amazon documentary. He sent her a (supposed) love letter that affects her emotionally to this day, saying he would think of her "every time he saw a longhaired beauty." Ugh. Knowing what he did, I found that line particularly repulsive.
Nope Pen’s motivations were different and he was extremely unaware and distanced of his nature . This guy is in complete sync with himself . He knew all along what he was seeking and why he was doing it .
There’s an interesting conflict between him trying to uphold his innocent persona and him wanting to be admired for his murders. I think he is very frustrated that he can’t boast about the fact that he is a world class serial killer.
thank god you posted this banger while i’m in the hospital bc of chest pains turns out i just am a hypochondriac with anxiety disorder (duh) and a new hospital bill for basically nothing! gotta love it. i’ve been waiting for your long video ❤
I'm sorry you ended up in the hospital, but I'm happy to hear it was only anxiety. Understandably, anxiety is such a common cause for people to go to the ER. I hope you interacted with physicians that were helpful!
Most terrifying part to me: “Have you ever physically harmed anyone?” “Physically harmed anyone…no. *looks up* “No.” Right before he responds…You can see his eyes go from blue to almost black when he looks back and forth at the camera. You can lie until you’re blue in the face, but your body language almost always shows the truth. You can fool your mind, but you will never, ever fool your body.
This isn’t true. Socio and psychos can become very good at this when they identify these opportunities and control their physiological responses. You’d be shocked!!
Eyes don't change color, but appear different color in different light. It's merely an optical illusion. 🙄 Some of you have seen WAYYY too many movies!
When he was interrupted by the telephone ringing I didn't see it as just a startle response. I've seen that look from my ex when he was interrupted while speaking. Nothing set my ex's anger off faster than someone asking a question or making any noise that disrupted their speaking or thought process.
At 26:13 it looks like he composes his anger at being interrupted for a moment before continuing the interview. My ex had a similar expression if others were around and he couldn’t blow up.
@drgexplains Thank you for these break downs. While they can be triggering at times, it is a good leaning opportunity and a reminder of what to look out for.
I was a college girl in Salt Lake at the time of his murders there. I watched this Lucky Severson video when it was first shown and was convinced that he was innocent. We did not understand the psychology of serial killers like we do now. It was a much more innocent time, and he was not the idea of the monster that we all envisioned at the time.
I really like the way you structure these videos - I was watching the 'Behavior Panel' and getting frustrated at how long they ramble on and never explicitly show what they're talking about - like you do with rewinding and freezing to illustrate what you're talking about. Great job!
@DrGexplains your analyses on your Flashback Forensics are unmatched! I really appreciate the detail and way in which you pause after short portions and breakdown the body language. Please keep bringing it!!! ✨❤
@@drgexplainslooking forward to more of your content! I’m interested in your analysis of Scott Peterson. You may find there to be a renewed interest with him being back in the news recently.
Years ago I heard a commentator say that Bundy closed his eyes due to his feelings of shame. That’s incredibly off base! These monsters are immune from shame.
Must have been one of those "pc" libtard leftists who like to exonerate and excuse the criminals because they both operate from irrational, illogical and ignorant minds that substitute false emotions for true facts
Dr. G. You are spot on about psychopaths not taking the blame for anything they have done. They also don't feel any empathy for their victims and their families.
I watched a trial with his mother testifying, and when you compare her demeanor with his they’re identical. His mother was very smart and she had a lot charm. Im wondering if he didn’t learn manipulation from her. She seems like the type of person that would deny any negativity in their lives. She came across as if her family was perfect and Christian and therefore Ted was innocent and it was the state that got it wrong. So I think he mimics his moms personality which makes him more approachable and less scary. I think that’s what makes him a successful murderer is his ability to use his moms personality to win people over.
Some people believe that Ted was the product of his mother and her father's relationship, as her father was well known as a violent, rageful, abusive man who verbally and physically, and perhaps sexually, abused Ted as well. Very aggressively abusive, so no wonder his mother was so detached and out of touch with reality. Did she have to work hard to suppress that knowledge? The way she would purse her lips makes me think about how you would do that when you are trying not to say something. If you read about this history, it certainly makes sense from a psychological perspective.
Narcissists usually have some kind of trauma in their past they're coping with, which is proably why they have to build themselves up by deluding themselves with a made-up identity who's perfect, and tearing other people down to get their narcissistic-supply. He probably lacked proper love and support so he didn't bond with his mother or father or both, so he started compinsating for it in his mind.
Newsflash: every human being is narcissistic and manipulative, because in order to live together we all have to sort of cruise along in society and find our place in it. That means dealing with and manipulating people everyday. Even a fake smile is a form of manipulation and even when we actually pretend we are interested in something someone is saying out of courtesy is also a form of manipulation. There is always a power dynamic involved between two individuals and how they relate to eachother. There is always a game going on. The difference between Ted Bundy and your ex is that your ex doesnt like killing people. Tee did cross that boundry. Usually when relationships dont work - its always because one person overstepps the boundries the other person has either once or too many times depending on the tolerance level of the other person. In the worse case scenario- both sides decide to overstep eachother's boundries or what is called pushing eachother's "buttons" Without narcissism and self love- we would actually not be able to function and probably wouldnt care if we lived or died.
The way he looks at his interviewers; face tilted down and forward and the eyes looking up just under the eyelids feels extremely sinister and predatory to me. Like he’s getting ready to lunge at them. 😳
@Dr. G Explains For those of us who have never had contact with a genuine psychopath your straightforward analysis and the value of you sharing your expertise can not be understated. You're a wonderful teacher and are a tremendous asset to the nation through your generous insights of practical information that can be applied to our everyday lives. Thank you, you're appreciated more than you know.
One of the biggest things that stood out to me was when she asked him has he ever harmed anyone 13:08. He repeated the question, then he convinced himself he hasn't, saying no several times to convince himself. This is a common telltale sign of a liar. They repeat the question because they're trying to think what to say next to sound legitimate.
I learn so much from Dr G. I found your videos about a month or so ago. I look forward to each one. ❤ I have an MS in emotional disorders so these are very interesting.
You forgot to mention the time that Ted Bundy was asked about the 12 year old girl, his last victim. He agreed that it was too painful to talk about, but you can see in his eyes that would be the true Monster reliving her murder He wanted to keep that to himself.
Maybe it was not only the pornography, but it is undeniable that pornography contrubutes a lot to dehumanizing women and seeing them as an object. It is also proven that many men have become addicted to that rubbish - so PLEASE don't play it down this way! It may not have been the one reason, but it has definitely played a role! Many men are so damaged by pornography that they cannot function anymore in a normal relationship! It is also a fact that some addicts like with other drugs start wanting harder and harder stuff because they have damaged their senses so much! So please STOP playing it down!
I commented something similar. There are plenty of psychologists who have studied a link between porn and this. It’s objectification!! And his description of going from porn to killing is very similar to other serial killers
He probably is defensive of porn like so many other male psychologists that don’t want to acknowledge that objectification of women harms women. And many many male serial killers admit to using graphic porn and fantasy of hurting women before moving on to killing
Thanks for posting this. I really enjoy your videos and learn a lot from them. This one was timely as I recently reread Ann Rule's book about Bundy. The book had letters he'd written to her through the years, and I was struck about how good of a writer and communicator he was. It took her a long time to accept that he'd committed such awful crimes. Clearly, he manipulated her as well. She was lucky that she wasn't his type.
Evidence against him was extremely weak, and he had strong alibis. They had multiple suspects that they let go solely on flawed polygraphs without blood pressure cuffs. Most of the suspects were part of organized crime/drug trade. Bundy was framed for most if not all the killings, that's why he shows no remorse, he didn't do it. But Bundy was involved with organized crime and politics (spying for the Republican party) as well. He was the fall guy.
A lot of people close their eyes when feeling uncomfortable. No sense of charisma or manipulation that he used is uncommon for a human. This is not just for maniacs, all types of people use these words and body language. It’s easy to pick apart these discussions after knowing. Anyone with social knowledge would know these things. It’s human nature to know when someone is manipulating…
Admittedly I’m no expert, but I didn’t see him as being startled, I saw him as being annoyed that his interview was interrupted and he is the most important person in the world so how dare that phone. 26:10
To me it was fear that his time was up. He was afraid that they were calling to execute him at that moment. A true coward, he was afraid to die himself
This guy is wrong so many times. Can’t believe he has a PhD. He has no emotional intuition about people. He gets things wrong constantly. He also doesn’t understand that many many serial killers started with porn the same way Bundy described. So many men are defensive of porn because they use it, but in truth many serial killers start out with fantasy of porn and certain kinds of porn and objectification of women and move from there into more sadism and fantasy and then do the real thing, just as bundy described
Well, it’s very rude to interrupt someone mid sentence. I find it highly annoying too… I’m not defending TB here but given the context his reaction is not incongruent to the situation. If I was being given a limited time to record an interview for television while on death row with a short time left to my execution, I too would probably be angry/frustrated/stressed if the recording was interrupted by avoidable noise. I would find it disrespectful to me, the situation and the interviewer.
The reason for his sudden glance when the phone rang was because he was hoping to get a last minute call from the governor of Florida to delay his execution, I also believe his intense reaction is the second frame of his true face, other than the one that is noted
Ted Bundy is one of the scariest human beings to ever live even knowing what he did he comes off as relatable and likeable I firmly believe he's one of the most disturbing stories ever
Agreed. Bundy and Kemper both fascinate me…I find them to be the most horrific and stealthy in that they fit so seamlessly into society and hid in plain sight so well for so long. For me, they’re top of the list…I can’t help it, they fascinate me.
He is literally the personification of Norman Bates. Friendly, likeable, even attractive until the moment the curtain slips and we see that flash of anger and violence behind the eyes.
Wow! Dr. G your analysis is captivating! I just discovered you this week and have binge watched everything you have posted on RUclips. I used to think that my fascination with serial killers meant something was wrong with my psyche but now I realize maybe it's normal to want to know more about the abnormal. I'm a huge fan of yours now! And I can't wait for more of your videos. Thank you for taking your time to do this for those of us interested in human behavior.
@DanaW124 - Your thoughts on your concern for your fascination with serial killers are interesting, and it would be very interesting to see why all of us who look into abnormal, even monstrous behavior, do that - and share our feelings about what we learn. I NEVER went near this topic, until watching this very video - and I'm 76! Just seemed unhealthy, I think. Worse than watching pornography. Then it occurred to me that psychopaths are a very real, and certainly not rare, phenomenon, and I have lived a pretty sheltered life - despite lots of study of psychology (drawn to people like Jung and P. D. Ouspensky), and my share of hard life experiences. At the same time, there are truly saintly, heroic, and good people who shine as much as people like Bundy stink. E.g., have spent a couple months this year rereading Teresa de Jesús, *Moradas*, & *Libro de La Vida*. Psychopaths seem to be people with zero self-knowledge who enjoy and get sexual arousal playing in pain, death, feces and filth. Their mentality is infantile. As clever as they might be, they have no self-knowledge, but are terribly deformed minds. Teresa and her like are lights for the soul. They radiate love and wisdom, and are far more complex and rare - and their psychology is REALLY interesting. They have something vitally important to teach regarding our own possible evolution, whereas the Bundys of the world are trapped in the same pattern, controlled by forces they know not. imo!
I am watching as I want to learn about human behavior and psychology. Also, because self preservation! Like Dr. G said, there is plenty people walking around with an agenda! I want to learn to recognize manipulation. My intuition is great, but good manipulators do know how to confuse your signals. I have learned that if I feel confused after talking to somebody there have been some amount of manipulation or de-direction my attention. Professionals on medical field are interesting as they have learned as a job to deflect some questions and directic patients in some ways. I do not believe that most of them enjoy it, but then you see few who clearly love to feel powerful 😶
I really do count on watching your videos to educate me on so many important aspects of body language thank you so much for doing what you do and please keep doing the great work
@Thawne1338 I think it's helpful when trying to detect lies and deceit, which can help protect yourself from both "players" and psychos. These girls were so trusting...it's sad that we need to be so cautious to keep ourselves safe from those who would harm us with no remorse.
The "split" between two very different selves is horribly fascinating. He never, ever shows the public or audience his radically contrasting self. I wonder whether, when alone, he was capable of being aware of it and, perhaps, acknowledging it. The dyfunctional mechanics of his buried consciousness and of his subconsciousness are the key to his compulsive psycho-social violence.
I wouldn't call his conscience "burried:, he never develpoed muchof one because of his upbringing. A conscience is developed in part through bonding with a parent, if the child doesn't bond with their parent/s, and if that child is never made to take responsibility for doing wrong, a weak or no conscience results.
That’s his last day before the execution. The phone ringing is all he has and hoping they are calling the execution off. The President or the Governor can stop the execution. It startles him his fate is on the line. I’ve heard many death row inmates talk about the phone calls on their last day alive. That was a great shot wow you could see how pent up he was. Yet he claimed he wasn’t afraid to die.
If I had met Ted on the street, on a bar or other places I would never have thought he was what he was. Those micro expressions is not something you will notice in an everyday setting and short meetings. But omg looking at this I see he was really manipulative and selfish. Scary how we will never know before it’s too late.
Dr G I'm definitely learning more and more!! I spotted the head shake straight away contradicting his positive agreement with the interviewer's question about still believing that he's innocent!! Knowing all that he did though, to all of his victims - absolutely chilling!
Would love to hear your analysis of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka the Ken and Barbie killers. Thx! Actually, each one deserves their own show there is no much material.
The frequent eye-closing I think is to control his anger He’s trying to maintain that serial killer personality hidden inside and not let it out so he’s closing his eyes, like trying to control his anger and remain calm so that he doesn’t expose his “angry” personality As for the smiling at the camera, I think it’s to mask up his “angry” serial killer personality, it’s a facade to trick people into thinking that he’s a calm personality and that he’s not an angry one and he could never have done what they are accusing him of. Basically, it’s to deceive the audience. @ 8:41 he exposed his motives behind this interview and what he was doing during that interview. he literally exposed his intentions to clear his image and to tear down the serial killer persona that the media exposed. That was his whole purpose of the interview, and that was exactly what he was doing the entire time, the laughing, the nodding, the eye-closing to show reassurance that “I’m telling the truth, I’m being honest,” lowering the head, tilting it, showing “fake” humility (hypocrisy) all to seem more sincere to the audience and the interviewer. He knows he was being recorded, and he’s putting on a show. The head tilting is also to hide emotions and to hide how fake he is. Also lowering the head and tilting it is a sign of shame when getting caught doing something wrong. When someone lowers his head below yours is because he got caught by you, and it’s like he’s in an “asking for forgiveness” position, like when a kid gets caught. An honest confident person would have his back laid back on the chair and show more confident body language if he isn’t guilty or done anything wrong. Him leaning forward and lowering himself to a level lower than the interviewer is a good sight of him being guilty and got caught, and now he’s trying to convince them, by shrinking his body and making it look smaller than theirs because he’s caught.
Great video! I’m loving the flash back forensics! I’ve been learning so much from you since discovering you from RA’s channel. I’m looking forward to more of your videos 😊❤
Bundy played Dobson & Lewis like a fiddle, imo. He desperately wanted another stay of execution. Thankfully, he was permanently dealt with; otherwise, I do believe he'd have gotten loose agan. He'd have manipulated the parole board the same way he did the two fools. DID, Pr0n, rock music, etc didn't make him the predator he became, imo.
He definitely fingering their religious sensibilities because he knew "porn .... bad" would really flip the right switch with them. It was another manipulation and it worked on them completely. Fortunately the justice department didn't buy it for a second....
Love to watch your videos. Your analysis & break down is very easy to follow & thought provoking. Serial killers like Bundy are scary but fascinating at the same time. It amazes me how others can kill & torture another human & live with themselves. Especially serial killers that do it time & time again. With all due respect to their victims. My heart does go out to them & their loved ones.
He has brief smiles after his answers that we know are lies. He even looks up at the camera, at the interviewer to see if they’re believing him. He pulls his lips tight too at times to keep himself from smiling and giving himself away
Just a question (psychology student here)! If he wanted to take the credit for it so bad wouldn’t he just have admitted to it in the first place - after getting caught with his escape? Really enjoying the content!
@ToyotaGuy1971 But if you have nothing to escape from then your not escaping in the first place. So the fact he did escape means he had something to escape from, therefore he's guilty
I love to see it! I just settled in for the night, have an hour before my evening routine, and am pleasantly surprised to have found your Bundy analysis. Another fascinating study is Paul Bernardo, though I'm not sure much content is available.
It's difficult for me to see why some people bought into his manipulation. Perhaps some of it is hindsight, that's natural enough, but i grew up in a very manipulative family so it's far easier to see all the signs. However, it's also in some ways harder to notice toxicity for what it is when the behavior seems so normal in the growing years. Years go by though and suddenly it's realized like a ton of bricks that none of any toxic behavior is acceptable which makes it easier to spot. Not a guarantee but the awareness is strong at least. I enjoyed your input in the video, just subscribed :)
Ted Bundy enjoyed what he did intensely, he left dead bodies for days or more, cut their heads off and buried them down the road, went back and had sex with them days later in all kinds of ways, way more than came out in court when he claimed innocence. He lived it.
The whole concept of Ted Bundy blaming his murderous evolution on pornography, is so evil in itself. Men find reasons to blame women for everything that is wrong with them - their mothers didn't love them enough, the wife left them, etc. etc. "Pictures of naked women turned me into a monster - if they hadn't posed for those pictures I wouldn't be like this." They just can't ever own their own shortcomings.
If it’s just evolutionary then no one is to blame for it, but that’s obviously not true serial killers are evil by choice, and while porn isn’t the reason why he killed, that doesn’t take away from the fact that porn is harmful, how is it blaming women by saying porn is bad, it’s blaming a disgusting industry.
@@samuellackey1555You misunderstand the point. Men in general, especially disturbed men and men in conservative societies, learn to blame women in different ways very early. In a more equal society where women have more equal human rights, it doesn't become as prominent. For a male serial killer, equality is not exactly a favorite subject of his, and he's therefore a great example of this attitude among many men. This is not an opinion, there's research and general figures showing the correlation. So try to keep that in mind when discussing views on men and women and gender roles with people. Top it up a notch and stop taking things personal. I'm white and I'm not going to get offended for the fact that black people have been awfully treated by whites. It's a historical fact, not a personal opinion.
In high school Pete Rose and Tom Seaver came to our campus to film TV show, I got to interview Seaver for the newspaper. At a break in filming Rose and Seaver stood back to back as I interviewed Seaver, and my classmate interviewed Rose. This was weeks after long-time Red manager Sparky Anderson had been fired, and me, being a young idiot opened up my questions, with, "how do you feel about your manager getting fired?" Seaver stiffened and bristled, Rose, who had heard my idiotic question, roared with laughter and turned to me gave me a shoulder massage and said, "relax kid, it'll be all right." I love that man. Yes he deserves to be in the HOF, based on his peerless play on the field.
It’s amazing how he always talked about Carol Daronch with such rage. The whole attack was full of rage (in comparison to his other attacks. His approach to Carol was somewhat different). She escaped from him, and that enraged him even more. And the nerve he had to carry that rage and call HER a liar in trial
On an entirely unrelated note - I would love to hear your feedback on everything you've seen from the 12 year old girl who stabbed her 9 year old brother. I would love to hear your analysis of the police bodycam footage/audio (can be found on Law & Crime Network) -- but I would really love to hear about whether or not you think the medication actually caused it... plausibly.
in the second interview when he gets startled by the phone ringing you can see for a fraction of a moment how he is trying to surpress intense anger which he literally swallows down before regaining his composure and continuing with his answer. This surpressed anger really gives me the shivers.
So Doc here is my question. I’ve always heard “ follow the money!” So first I think he had a degree in Psychology. He would then go to law school. That’s not cheap. What did he do for money? Then he travels from the Northwest to Colorado to Florida. What did he do for money to travel, to eat, to sleep? I am so glad you are doing these cases. Thank you!!
Scholarships & student loans most likely paid for school. Bundy worked, volunteered & began doing B&Es while he hunted. He did earn an undergraduate psych degree as well as passed the bar. Like Gacy, Rader, D'Angelo, etc Bundy wasn't stupid, imo. That's the most frightening thing about this type of SK, again imo. I hope this helps 🙂
School was way way more affordable back in the day. My grand parents could both be doctoral students just doing work study and buy a house and a car. My mom went to a private school and between work study and a small scholarship she owed like 1k that she paid off slowly
My grandfather knew the Bundy family, he was a distant relative and immigrated from America to Turkey when he was young, now he is 80 years old and he has memories of Ted when he was a child but he doesn't want to talk about it.
I was in Florida when Ted Bundy was executed and watched the coverage of it. I remember being confused by this interview and about whether TB really thought porn was to blame. I haven't thought about that interview in a long time. Interesting to hear Dr. G's thoughts so many years later.
Ted Bundy's spin on porn was his last ditch attempt to escape execution. The spin was "Ok ok fine I'm a serial killer, but it's um um porn! That's why I'm like this in fact I can help you catch serial killers and raise awareness in society about the dangers of porn! You need me you see...." Justice department: No.....
@@kathleencastle8631 He was saying exactly what that preacher came to hear, the interviewer fed it to him and Ted repeated it back. Complete BS in some sort of last hope of living longer.
Hey, Dr G - from Liverpool UK 🇬🇧. I absolutely love your channel, and your professional insight. If I could - I'd love to study to be a forensic psychologist. The human mind just amazes me.
We got lucky his arrogance made him stupid enough to use his REAL name when going around asking possible victims to "help him". That helped detectives narrow down to him.
him flashing back was so unsetting for a second I was like can I even finish this bc its one thing to hear about what they did but to sit and watch a serial killer reminisce on his murders is a whole other level
@@4TLOL Not knowing who your father was and thinking your mother was your sister ain't a good start, but ultimately he is fully responsible for all his bad actions.
I’ve said it before but one of the most terrifying things about him is the fact that if you ran into him you’d probably like him. That’s how he coerced his victims. 😡
Right, he took advantage of the fact that most people aren't paranoid about everone being a killer, and that most people will give a person the benefit of the doubt. It's a vulnerability most of us have. Of couse now days it's a little different, feminist-propaganda has most females thinking evey man is a sexist, controlling, disgusting pervert until proven innocent.
So creepy to see him talking. In the older section, his demeanor was out of context for the situation: smiling, jovial, excited. And when he let his mask slip those eyes are terrifying. He bared his teeth and tightened his lips. There was a period where he was getting excited and he brought his hands together as if warping his fingers around a victim. I learned much from this thank you.
I'm Brazilian and I watch you because I love psychology and people's mind and in addition to practicing American English that I love so much, congratulations for you job!
Although he doesn't stare intensely, the way he constantly dips his chin while staring out the corners or tops of his eyes is what really creeps me out. It's a glowering, sinister look. It gives the impression he's annoyed and communicates a sense of superiority over the interviewer. Likes he's rolling his eyes at her. In the first video, he's subtly rocking his body and fidgets a lot too. I don't know if that's self-soothing behavior but it makes me anxious just watching. I wanted to yell at him, "Sit still!!!" All the fidgeting appeared evasive to me, as if his body in addition to his mind was working hard to evade the interviewers questions. In the second video, he's still rocking that sinister look. 😈
What i find so fascinating about your analysis here are pointing out the subtleties he so skillfully uses as he engages in manipulative behavior. As you mentioned , he can , perhaps unknowingly , come across as someone who thinks of himself so highly , while leaving doubts of those claims with the listener to come across as more believable.
How could you say porn is not involved in making of a serial killer. Every serial killer I read about had a porn addiction. Every man who I know who likes porn has anger issues. The men who I know not into porn don't . Don't take my word for it. Look up other serial killers you will find porn addiction.
Correlation does not mean causation. I understand the logic, but we know enough about these types of individuals to know that does not cause any of their behaviors.
You have to be insane to actually believe that. Wow ted was a very minupulative individual. Thank God you wasn't one of his victims he would of been able to easily deceive you.
What you and a lot of people don't understand is that there has to be something seriously wrong with you already for you to do stuff like that. A normal person would just never do this stuff no matter what they watch.
I subscribed on your channel, because Doc…this man scares the s out of me, but hearing your interuptions and comments made me feel safe😂😂 the way you analyze him and comment is really helpful to be able to watch this monster without being traumatized
Doctor, you probably know that he kept photos of his victims. When an investigator asked why, he said, "When you do a job right, you want a record of it."
Usually narcissistic psychopaths like TB also pursue careers so they can better manipulate ppl. I had an ex who resembled Ted to an eerie degree, in the way Ted masked himself to others as to come off as very polite, helpful, charismatic, somewhat of "a know it all" and enjoyed pushing boundaries, breaking rules, etc. He was an ex police officer with a BA in psychology. It literally gives me chills to this day and I think it's why I binge so many of TB videos bc the personalities are so similar. People who can charm like this are seriously demented and dangerous. They are masters at studying people. My ex was hands down a legit malignant narcissist with some sort of personality disorder as he showed signs of delusions and hallucinations. He was a serial cheater, gaslighter, manipulator and liar but not a killer...at least not to my knowledge.
Great video ❤ I just wish the part where is asked about the murder of the six years old girl was included. His reaction was very interesting and worth mentioning
@@priyanshu.sharma.0002really odd to anchor any positive attributes to this monster of a “man”. I’ll never understand seeing him as anything but a grotesque, physically/emotionally/mentally, narcissistic moron.
A death-row inmate who spoke to Ted fairly regularly asked him privately, why he did what he did and Ted said "because I liked it". That's probably about as honest an answer as we'll ever get on the matter from him.
Sometimes while in prison ,inmates will say things that they may feel that they want others to hear. Especially if it makes them sound like a ruthless killer who will kill and resort to violence at any time. Somewhat a defense mechanism. So other guys in prison won't mess with him.
@@Sncedayone He said it to a guard and I absolutely believe it. It doesn't appear boastful in any way, I think it was just a simple, honest answer.
Of course he did it because he liked it. Why else would he have repeated it more than 30 x?
@@Sncedayone In other words he liked it. 😑
Maybe...
One of the scariest video clips on Bundy that I've seen (which I since haven't been able to find) is when the jurys' verdict came in guilty. His charisma immediately disappeared and he turned around, faced the jury and raged with a facial expression like a caged wild animal. His narcissism was so profound the thought of a guilty verdict never occurred to him.
Not really that bad.
He was so confident in his abilities to be a lawyer he was convinced that he would not be found guilty, so it was a big surprise to him when he was found guilty, and then given the death penalty. In a way, he didn't mind the death penalty because it gave him more attention.
Sounds fascinating! Anyone know where I can see this?
All you can see now is the photo. Pretty freaky.
From Bill Frakes the photographer:
“This is the photograph I get asked about the most. Ted Bundy, the day he was sentenced to death. I was in the courtroom, focused solely on Bundy. This was 1979 and I was an intern at Miami Herald-cameras in the courtroom were a “new” thing in Florida. The rule was the camera had to be as quiet as a Leica. But I needed longer glass than the 135 we had for the Leica. So I wrapped an SLR in foam, gaffer taped it in place and used a 300 f4.5 lens. I was shooting at 1/30 of second and pushing TriX film to 3200. It was a huge gamble. I shot very few frames that day, afraid I’d make too much noise and Judge Cowart would throw me out-it was pretty tense in the room. Earlier in the day I’d made an image of Bundy praying that was the front page lead. The great Gene Miller, two time Pulitzer Prize winning writer was covering the story for the Herald. I got back to the paper, souped the film, incredibly nervous about what I was going to find. I edited the film, printed this frame, gave the film to the pool who were anxiously waiting to see what I had (only one photographer allowed in the courtroom so the images were shared) . I took the print out to Miller’s desk where he was pounding furiously on his typewriter-handed it to him and said you should see this. He looked at me, yanked the paper from his typewriter and started over. The question I get asked is what was Bundy thinking? I have no idea. But it was the only split second of emotion I saw in more than a hundred hours of watching.”
When he's remembering his murders he licks his lips. Doesn't do it any other time. So disgusting.
Yes, you can see he is mentally transported somewhere else and enjoying it.
@@drgexplains Ya, and it’s completely disgusting. Not an ounce of remorse, or sorrow there. Cold hearted, and cruel.
cv xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx vc@@drgexplains It looked like he was getting sexual feelings just talking about the murders, the way he wiggled around and moved different ways. He had a lot of years to fantasize about what he did.
I imagine some of his victims got to witness said behavior--the ones who were sufficiently conscious.
He relived his murders while questioning the police. He couldn't see the jurors revulsion.
Ted Bundy was one of the most frightening people to ever walk this planet. I can't get over his eyes, he had the scariest eyes even when he smiled.
he was haunted by a Demon Entity i never seen anybody wih suh evil eyes. Sometimes you could see when the Demon takes over his eyes almost popping out of his socket.
But he killed young women and even children he is a loser
Yes. Some prolific serial killers killed their victims in extremely brutal ways; but the sheer savagery in which Bundy attacked his victims is utterly terrifying. Bundy's psyche goes beyond narcissism and psychopathy.
I read a book on him that still to this day... When I think about it ... Makes me turn a light on ... The worst most sick crimes I've ever heard or read about... He's terrifying... The terrifying thing is there are more of them out there and we know that just by simple fact😳
Sure, he has what you perceive as “the scariest eyes,” only because you view him with PRECONCEIVED JUDGEMENT and you already expected his eyes to affect you in a negative way AFTER his disgusting acts were revealed to you! So many people unknowingly fall victim to their own preconceived perceptions because it is a protective mechanism, causing the viewer to associate a killer with “scary eyes.”
Yes the true face for just a glimpse. He’s terrifying. Also when his eyes flick up just a second to see if anyone is buying this bs. And then he smiles. That’s the real Bundy.
He was a coward could only kill weak women. This dude isnt scary
@@KillDozer44 I don't even think he lies good 😂
He is most definately terrifying because he was very good at communicating and conning people. At least if you have Richard Ramirez asking to use the phone you’d be like yeah, NO! But Bundy is so well spoken and his clothing, looks and social interactions mattered to him.
@@lisasmith7066 exactly
@@petraleopold2713 Scary stuff 🙏❤️
He is one of the most interesting serial killers I have ever watched and read about. His ability to charm people and hide his narcissism (before lay-people understood narcissism) is remarkably terrifying.
I don't know what you talk about. What charm? Nothing in him seems genuine to me.
Not in a interview but to his unassuming victims, he was very charming. He’s been described as a “chivalrous gentlemen”. In prison interviews I didn’t find him charming but in town I could see how he was perceived as that normal yet above average guy.
@@rafaelorsic4884you just say that because you know what he did

the scary thing to me is he seems so normal. you would never know.
This is watching a psychopath be a psychopath.
4 Extremely Disturbing Interviews With Psychopaths... there are several on YT, this one is really disturbing. The first guy is a child molester, be warned.
He is what he is
@@davidwee130was
They can't not be what they are, so yeah. Kind of a redundant statement, but sure. lol
When Bundy was a teenager a little girl next door went missing and was never seen again. What a coincidence she lived by a brutal future serial killer
Seems like a strong possibility that he murdered her.
I think he ate her
“I’m going to show that I’m right”, is so telling to me. He doesn’t say he’s going to show he’s innocent, just that he was “right”. Because it’s the victim’s fault, and he doesn’t see his behaviors as morally wrong. Just a quick Freudian slip that tells us so much about his mindset.
100%
What abject nonsense. Plenty of good and innocent people would use the same verbiage.
Its insane that he sat in front of the world for years denying all the horrific things he done to the victims and people believed every word he said , for years he was in prison claiming his innocence and a lot of people really did believe he was an innocent man accused, then just before he was executed he confessed, can you imagine how that felt for his mother, his family,friends and wife who all that time believed he was innocent, I don't understand how anyone could believe a word he said tbh
So, you think his mother was bothered that he confessed his crimes to God for forgiveness. So you think his mother didnt want him to confess his crimes to God..
His wife, married him while he was in prison. She said she had his baby, that they snuck off during a visit and he impregnated her. Hard to believe that could happen. A pack of women were fixated on him during his trial and sat in the back every day. They fell in love with him so they said.
Some women really like the really bad boys.
True narcissism
@@bradsanders6954 yeah, Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker, had a pack of "groupies" in the courtroom, every day. These women are clearly demented. I saw a few of them interviewed. Most of them said they knew he committed these heinous crimes but felt he needed warmth and compassion which he never had (this is true, he had a horrific childhood which included his father beating on him constantly, an uncle who shot Richard's aunt point blank in the face, and many other atrocities) He also fell on his head from high places not once, but twice. Most psychiatrists and psychologists believe that serious falls when an infant can lead to brain damage affecting empathy and judgement.
He also got married while imprisoned but his wife divorced him a little while later.
Same way people believed pearl harbor, gulf of tonkin, desert storm, Waco and that little event in NY 22 years ago.
My college professor was Dr. Ronald Holmes and he interviewed him extensively. He said his wife would get so angry when the phone would ring and it was Bundy calling the house. He was my favorite professor.
@Brittanie Reasor why was his wife angry?

@@rachelraquel758not in the am. I need my coffee first
What did they talk about?
I felt sorry for his girlfriend, Liz, in the Amazon documentary. He sent her a (supposed) love letter that affects her emotionally to this day, saying he would think of her "every time he saw a longhaired beauty." Ugh. Knowing what he did, I found that line particularly repulsive.
It's crazy watching him and then seeing how Penn Badgley acts in You. Penn nailed the speech pattern, head movements, and eye closing.
Penn is eerily similar to Bundy
@@kate-pure oh definitely
@@kate-pure lol i mean he is pretty cute and charismatic so i get it😂
Nope Pen’s motivations were different and he was extremely unaware and distanced of his nature . This guy is in complete sync with himself . He knew all along what he was seeking and why he was doing it .
His behavior is very charming but contrived. He has an underlying edge of manipulative coerciveness and you can feel his rage.
There’s an interesting conflict between him trying to uphold his innocent persona and him wanting to be admired for his murders.
I think he is very frustrated that he can’t boast about the fact that he is a world class serial killer.
Ted was innocent.he said it himself..gotta believe what man says@@davedeville6540
@@davedeville6540I think you're right. It was probably absolute torment.
thank god you posted this banger while i’m in the hospital bc of chest pains turns out i just am a hypochondriac with anxiety disorder (duh) and a new hospital bill for basically nothing! gotta love it. i’ve been waiting for your long video ❤
I'm sorry you ended up in the hospital, but I'm happy to hear it was only anxiety. Understandably, anxiety is such a common cause for people to go to the ER. I hope you interacted with physicians that were helpful!
I've been there my friend ❤Best wishes and healing thoughts❤❤
A panic attack sent me to the hospital as well, could've sworn it was a heart attack it's amazing how much they mirror each other
Most terrifying part to me:
“Have you ever physically harmed anyone?”
“Physically harmed anyone…no. *looks up*
“No.”
Right before he responds…You can see his eyes go from blue to almost black when he looks back and forth at the camera. You can lie until you’re blue in the face, but your body language almost always shows the truth. You can fool your mind, but you will never, ever fool your body.
You can’t really see the colour of his eyes
Your mind controls the body
This isn’t true. Socio and psychos can become very good at this when they identify these opportunities and control their physiological responses. You’d be shocked!!
Eyes don't change color, but appear different color in different light. It's merely an optical illusion. 🙄 Some of you have seen WAYYY too many movies!
@@ToyotaGuy1971 Sorta. Pupils enlarge and make the eyes look black -- predator trait so you can hunt at night.
When he was interrupted by the telephone ringing I didn't see it as just a startle response. I've seen that look from my ex when he was interrupted while speaking. Nothing set my ex's anger off faster than someone asking a question or making any noise that disrupted their speaking or thought process.
I said basically the same exact thing as you.
At 26:13 it looks like he composes his anger at being interrupted for a moment before continuing the interview. My ex had a similar expression if others were around and he couldn’t blow up.
@drgexplains Thank you for these break downs. While they can be triggering at times, it is a good leaning opportunity and a reminder of what to look out for.
Definitely! He was not happy he was interrupted in that moment of his reliving.
@@retroversepnw4288 triggered!
I was a college girl in Salt Lake at the time of his murders there. I watched this Lucky Severson video when it was first shown and was convinced that he was innocent. We did not understand the psychology of serial killers like we do now. It was a much more innocent time, and he was not the idea of the monster that we all envisioned at the time.
The look on his face when the phone rings - that's truly terrifying. You're so right, that's him, right there.

28 women and 2 kids. Dont forget the kids
i think he killed more kids than what is known
Years ago I heard a commentator say that Bundy closed his eyes due to his feelings of shame. That’s incredibly off base! These monsters are immune from shame.
Patsy Ramsey did alot of eye-closing during interviews.
Maybe he wanted people to believe he felt shame lol they was part of the manipulation
They have no shame. They are proud of themselves. They think they are clever.
Must have been one of those "pc" libtard leftists who like to exonerate and excuse the criminals because they both operate from irrational, illogical and ignorant minds that substitute false emotions for true facts
They do have shame, but not guilt or remorse. The shame is that people know he did something unacceptable, bad for the image they try to uphold.
Dr. G.
You are spot on about psychopaths not taking the blame for anything they have done. They also don't feel any empathy for their victims and their families.
That would also be a main trait of a Narcissist
@@angieblove True, thanks for pointing that out.
They feel entitled to do what they do, therefore they feel no reason to accept blame, guilt--whatever you want to call it.
Trump is a narcissist as well. There are similarities.
You prefer someone who kills and regret it after ??? You are weird.
He dos t fool me. You could see he was enjoying reliving those moments when he tortured his victims. Physically.
Yes why he likes his 😢
I watched a trial with his mother testifying, and when you compare her demeanor with his they’re identical. His mother was very smart and she had a lot charm. Im wondering if he didn’t learn manipulation from her. She seems like the type of person that would deny any negativity in their lives. She came across as if her family was perfect and Christian and therefore Ted was innocent and it was the state that got it wrong. So I think he mimics his moms personality which makes him more approachable and less scary. I think that’s what makes him a successful murderer is his ability to use his moms personality to win people over.
Some people believe that Ted was the product of his mother and her father's relationship, as her father was well known as a violent, rageful, abusive man who verbally and physically, and perhaps sexually, abused Ted as well. Very aggressively abusive, so no wonder his mother was so detached and out of touch with reality. Did she have to work hard to suppress that knowledge? The way she would purse her lips makes me think about how you would do that when you are trying not to say something. If you read about this history, it certainly makes sense from a psychological perspective.
@@marthawhite3353that’s been proven wrong by dna evidence
I also see a resemblance to his moms facial expressions and so on.
Narcissists usually have some kind of trauma in their past they're coping with, which is proably why they have to build themselves up by deluding themselves with a made-up identity who's perfect, and tearing other people down to get their narcissistic-supply. He probably lacked proper love and support so he didn't bond with his mother or father or both, so he started compinsating for it in his mind.
Also his mother lied for years that she was his sister. And he found out the truth. Hard to trust a mother who lied about their very existence.
I love your channel! So great to have a psychologist analyze the way these killers think. Keep up the great work!
my mom knew him. He asked her on a date, twice, but she turned him down because she found his arrogance off putting (thank god)

@@revanth3508 would like to know to
This sounds like a cap
My grandmother almost got picked up by him in Utah lol.
bros lying for no reason ☠️
My ex had the same mannerisms , even looks like him. Creeps me out. I’m glad I noticed his narcissism, and manipulative tactics to get out of it.
Newsflash: every human being is narcissistic and manipulative, because in order to live together we all have to sort of cruise along in society and find our place in it. That means dealing with and manipulating people everyday. Even a fake smile is a form of manipulation and even when we actually pretend we are interested in something someone is saying out of courtesy is also a form of manipulation. There is always a power dynamic involved between two individuals and how they relate to eachother. There is always a game going on.
The difference between Ted Bundy and your ex is that your ex doesnt like killing people. Tee did cross that boundry.
Usually when relationships dont work - its always because one person overstepps the boundries the other person has either once or too many times depending on the tolerance level of the other person. In the worse case scenario- both sides decide to overstep eachother's boundries or what is called pushing eachother's "buttons"
Without narcissism and self love- we would actually not be able to function and probably wouldnt care if we lived or died.
I'm glad you got out, too.
For women every guy has narcissime 🤣
lol
Every ex boyfriend/husband must have narcissism
The way he looks at his interviewers; face tilted down and forward and the eyes looking up just under the eyelids feels extremely sinister and predatory to me. Like he’s getting ready to lunge at them. 😳

One of the biggest things that stood out to me was when she asked him has he ever harmed anyone 13:08. He repeated the question, then he convinced himself he hasn't, saying no several times to convince himself. This is a common telltale sign of a liar. They repeat the question because they're trying to think what to say next to sound legitimate.
Can confirm. Repeat the question or "huh?"

You forgot to mention the time that Ted Bundy was asked about the 12 year old girl, his last victim. He agreed that it was too painful to talk about, but you can see in his eyes that would be the true Monster reliving her murder He wanted to keep that to himself.
A life is a life, doesn't matter if they're young, old, male, female. It's just as repulsive. Or SHOULD be.
@@ToyotaGuy1971I often imagine what Kimberly Leach endured, and feel the need to puke.
Maybe it was not only the pornography, but it is undeniable that pornography contrubutes a lot to dehumanizing women and seeing them as an object. It is also proven that many men have become addicted to that rubbish - so PLEASE don't play it down this way! It may not have been the one reason, but it has definitely played a role! Many men are so damaged by pornography that they cannot function anymore in a normal relationship! It is also a fact that some addicts like with other drugs start wanting harder and harder stuff because they have damaged their senses so much! So please STOP playing it down!
I commented something similar. There are plenty of psychologists who have studied a link between porn and this. It’s objectification!! And his description of going from porn to killing is very similar to other serial killers
He probably is defensive of porn like so many other male psychologists that don’t want to acknowledge that objectification of women harms women. And many many male serial killers admit to using graphic porn and fantasy of hurting women before moving on to killing
There's more porn than ever, but far less serial killers...I think porn has nothing to do with it.
@@maxilopez1596 that’s not true. There are still lots of serial killers. It’s harder for them to get away with it now but there are just as many.
I absolutely agree with you!
Thanks for posting this. I really enjoy your videos and learn a lot from them. This one was timely as I recently reread Ann Rule's book about Bundy. The book had letters he'd written to her through the years, and I was struck about how good of a writer and communicator he was. It took her a long time to accept that he'd committed such awful crimes. Clearly, he manipulated her as well. She was lucky that she wasn't his type.
Evidence against him was extremely weak, and he had strong alibis. They had multiple suspects that they let go solely on flawed polygraphs without blood pressure cuffs. Most of the suspects were part of organized crime/drug trade. Bundy was framed for most if not all the killings, that's why he shows no remorse, he didn't do it. But Bundy was involved with organized crime and politics (spying for the Republican party) as well. He was the fall guy.
Out of his age range.
A lot of people close their eyes when feeling uncomfortable. No sense of charisma or manipulation that he used is uncommon for a human. This is not just for maniacs, all types of people use these words and body language. It’s easy to pick apart these discussions after knowing. Anyone with social knowledge would know these things. It’s human nature to know when someone is manipulating…
Admittedly I’m no expert, but I didn’t see him as being startled, I saw him as being annoyed that his interview was interrupted and he is the most important person in the world so how dare that phone. 26:10
Agreed. It looked like he wanted to kill the phone
Either way, that face was scary
To me it was fear that his time was up. He was afraid that they were calling to execute him at that moment. A true coward, he was afraid to die himself
This guy is wrong so many times. Can’t believe he has a PhD. He has no emotional intuition about people. He gets things wrong constantly. He also doesn’t understand that many many serial killers started with porn the same way Bundy described. So many men are defensive of porn because they use it, but in truth many serial killers start out with fantasy of porn and certain kinds of porn and objectification of women and move from there into more sadism and fantasy and then do the real thing, just as bundy described
Well, it’s very rude to interrupt someone mid sentence. I find it highly annoying too…
I’m not defending TB here but given the context his reaction is not incongruent to the situation.
If I was being given a limited time to record an interview for television while on death row with a short time left to my execution, I too would probably be angry/frustrated/stressed if the recording was interrupted by avoidable noise.
I would find it disrespectful to me, the situation and the interviewer.
The reason for his sudden glance when the phone rang was because he was hoping to get a last minute call from the governor of Florida to delay his execution, I also believe his intense reaction is the second frame of his true face, other than the one that is noted
Ted Bundy is one of the scariest human beings to ever live even knowing what he did he comes off as relatable and likeable I firmly believe he's one of the most disturbing stories ever
Agreed. Bundy and Kemper both fascinate me…I find them to be the most horrific and stealthy in that they fit so seamlessly into society and hid in plain sight so well for so long. For me, they’re top of the list…I can’t help it, they fascinate me.
He is literally the personification of Norman Bates. Friendly, likeable, even attractive until the moment the curtain slips and we see that flash of anger and violence behind the eyes.
Like Jodi Arias
Entirely agree worse than christopher watts
Bundy and Ramirez are extremely scary to me.
Wow! Dr. G your analysis is captivating! I just discovered you this week and have binge watched everything you have posted on RUclips. I used to think that my fascination with serial killers meant something was wrong with my psyche but now I realize maybe it's normal to want to know more about the abnormal. I'm a huge fan of yours now! And I can't wait for more of your videos. Thank you for taking your time to do this for those of us interested in human behavior.
Thank you! I'm working on expanding my content as much as I have time to do for the foreseeable future. I really enjoy sharing my analyses.
It's probably the adrenalin... they frighten us.😳😳😳
@DanaW124 - Your thoughts on your concern for your fascination with serial killers are interesting, and it would be very interesting to see why all of us who look into abnormal, even monstrous behavior, do that - and share our feelings about what we learn. I NEVER went near this topic, until watching this very video - and I'm 76! Just seemed unhealthy, I think. Worse than watching pornography. Then it occurred to me that psychopaths are a very real, and certainly not rare, phenomenon, and I have lived a pretty sheltered life - despite lots of study of psychology (drawn to people like Jung and P. D. Ouspensky), and my share of hard life experiences. At the same time, there are truly saintly, heroic, and good people who shine as much as people like Bundy stink. E.g., have spent a couple months this year rereading Teresa de Jesús, *Moradas*, & *Libro de La Vida*. Psychopaths seem to be people with zero self-knowledge who enjoy and get sexual arousal playing in pain, death, feces and filth. Their mentality is infantile. As clever as they might be, they have no self-knowledge, but are terribly deformed minds. Teresa and her like are lights for the soul. They radiate love and wisdom, and are far more complex and rare - and their psychology is REALLY interesting. They have something vitally important to teach regarding our own possible evolution, whereas the Bundys of the world are trapped in the same pattern, controlled by forces they know not. imo!
I am watching as I want to learn about human behavior and psychology. Also, because self preservation! Like Dr. G said, there is plenty people walking around with an agenda! I want to learn to recognize manipulation. My intuition is great, but good manipulators do know how to confuse your signals. I have learned that if I feel confused after talking to somebody there have been some amount of manipulation or de-direction my attention.
Professionals on medical field are interesting as they have learned as a job to deflect some questions and directic patients in some ways. I do not believe that most of them enjoy it, but then you see few who clearly love to feel powerful 😶
Fascinating stuff, thanks for teaching us so much about these people! Keep up the good work 👏
I really do count on watching your videos to educate me on so many important aspects of body language thank you so much for doing what you do and please keep doing the great work
@Thawne1338because you can tell what people are thinking/feeling
@Thawne1338 I think it's helpful when trying to detect lies and deceit, which can help protect yourself from both "players" and psychos. These girls were so trusting...it's sad that we need to be so cautious to keep ourselves safe from those who would harm us with no remorse.
@Thawne1338 psychopaths for example cause more physical harm than anybody because they view people as objects/tools for personal gain
The "split" between two very different selves is horribly fascinating. He never, ever shows the public or audience his radically contrasting self. I wonder whether, when alone, he was capable of being aware of it and, perhaps, acknowledging it. The dyfunctional mechanics of his buried consciousness and of his subconsciousness are the key to his compulsive psycho-social violence.
Spiritually speaking, his chakaras (energy centers within the body) were out of wack!
He was aware of that. He has spoken about this in third person in other interviews for a book.
I wouldn't call his conscience "burried:, he never develpoed muchof one because of his upbringing. A conscience is developed in part through bonding with a parent, if the child doesn't bond with their parent/s, and if that child is never made to take responsibility for doing wrong, a weak or no conscience results.
That’s his last day before the execution. The phone ringing is all he has and hoping they are calling the execution off. The President or the Governor can stop the execution. It startles him his fate is on the line. I’ve heard many death row inmates talk about the phone calls on their last day alive. That was a great shot wow you could see how pent up he was. Yet he claimed he wasn’t afraid to die.
Yes your right
@Fariba "ringing", not "wringing" as per what you do with a wet towel.
In English it is written "you're/you are", not "your" which is possessive/belonging to. 👍
Oh, he was afraid alright... I've seen this entire interview a couple of times; I'd forgotten about the phone ringing, epic.
He instantly snaps out of his phoney demeanour.
If I had met Ted on the street, on a bar or other places I would never have thought he was what he was. Those micro expressions is not something you will notice in an everyday setting and short meetings. But omg looking at this I see he was really manipulative and selfish. Scary how we will never know before it’s too late.
Best analysis of him that I’ve ever seen!
In that first interview, he dropped faking for a few short moments and you can see from his eyes just pure murderous rage.
Dr G I'm definitely learning more and more!! I spotted the head shake straight away contradicting his positive agreement with the interviewer's question about still believing that he's innocent!!
Knowing all that he did though, to all of his victims - absolutely chilling!
Zachariah Anderson used the 'sure I committed other crimes' line too didn't he?!
Yes, he did!
Forgot to say " thank you for sharing your knowledge and taking the time posting "
Would love to hear your analysis of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka the Ken and Barbie killers. Thx! Actually, each one deserves their own show there is no much material.
The frequent eye-closing I think is to control his anger
He’s trying to maintain that serial killer personality hidden inside and not let it out so he’s closing his eyes, like trying to control his anger and remain calm so that he doesn’t expose his “angry” personality
As for the smiling at the camera, I think it’s to mask up his “angry” serial killer personality, it’s a facade to trick people into thinking that he’s a calm personality and that he’s not an angry one and he could never have done what they are accusing him of.
Basically, it’s to deceive the audience.
@ 8:41 he exposed his motives behind this interview and what he was doing during that interview. he literally exposed his intentions to clear his image and to tear down the serial killer persona that the media exposed.
That was his whole purpose of the interview, and that was exactly what he was doing the entire time, the laughing, the nodding, the eye-closing to show reassurance that “I’m telling the truth, I’m being honest,” lowering the head, tilting it, showing “fake” humility (hypocrisy) all to seem more sincere to the audience and the interviewer.
He knows he was being recorded, and he’s putting on a show.
The head tilting is also to hide emotions and to hide how fake he is.
Also lowering the head and tilting it is a sign of shame when getting caught doing something wrong.
When someone lowers his head below yours is because he got caught by you, and it’s like he’s in an “asking for forgiveness” position, like when a kid gets caught.
An honest confident person would have his back laid back on the chair and show more confident body language if he isn’t guilty or done anything wrong.
Him leaning forward and lowering himself to a level lower than the interviewer is a good sight of him being guilty and got caught, and now he’s trying to convince them, by shrinking his body and making it look smaller than theirs because he’s caught.
Great video! I’m loving the flash back forensics! I’ve been learning so much from you since discovering you from RA’s channel. I’m looking forward to more of your videos 😊❤
What's horrible and hard to imagine is the moment he switched from 'nice' Ted to killer Ted
The way it is
Bundy played Dobson & Lewis like a fiddle, imo. He desperately wanted another stay of execution. Thankfully, he was permanently dealt with; otherwise, I do believe he'd have gotten loose agan. He'd have manipulated the parole board the same way he did the two fools. DID, Pr0n, rock music, etc didn't make him the predator he became, imo.
He definitely fingering their religious sensibilities because he knew "porn .... bad" would really flip the right switch with them. It was another manipulation and it worked on them completely. Fortunately the justice department didn't buy it for a second....
Dr.G...this is another amazing interview interpretation....this is the best so far from you DrG. Thank you very much!👍
I just love your analyses on all of these psychopaths! ❤❤
Very intelligent,very articulate and irredeemably amoral.
So interesting,even all these years later. Thank you Dr G
Shared 🔃,liked 👍🏻and commented on 💬. Love this channel ❤
Love to watch your videos. Your analysis & break down is very easy to follow & thought provoking. Serial killers like Bundy are scary but fascinating at the same time. It amazes me how others can kill & torture another human & live with themselves. Especially serial killers that do it time & time again. With all due respect to their victims. My heart does go out to them & their loved ones.
He has brief smiles after his answers that we know are lies. He even looks up at the camera, at the interviewer to see if they’re believing him. He pulls his lips tight too at times to keep himself from smiling and giving himself away
Yes
Just a question (psychology student here)! If he wanted to take the credit for it so bad wouldn’t he just have admitted to it in the first place - after getting caught with his escape?
Really enjoying the content!
*So badly
I fail to see what the escape has to do with it. Escaping isn't evidence of guilt, if that's what you're implying.
@ToyotaGuy1971 But if you have nothing to escape from then your not escaping in the first place. So the fact he did escape means he had something to escape from, therefore he's guilty
I love to see it! I just settled in for the night, have an hour before my evening routine, and am pleasantly surprised to have found your Bundy analysis. Another fascinating study is Paul Bernardo, though I'm not sure much content is available.
It's difficult for me to see why some people bought into his manipulation. Perhaps some of it is hindsight, that's natural enough, but i grew up in a very manipulative family so it's far easier to see all the signs. However, it's also in some ways harder to notice toxicity for what it is when the behavior seems so normal in the growing years. Years go by though and suddenly it's realized like a ton of bricks that none of any toxic behavior is acceptable which makes it easier to spot. Not a guarantee but the awareness is strong at least.
I enjoyed your input in the video, just subscribed :)
I agree that it’s not difficult for him to relive his atrocities, it’s thrilling.
Ted Bundy enjoyed what he did intensely, he left dead bodies for days or more, cut their heads off and buried them down the road, went back and had sex with them days later in all kinds of ways, way more than came out in court when he claimed innocence. He lived it.
The whole concept of Ted Bundy blaming his murderous evolution on pornography, is so evil in itself. Men find reasons to blame women for everything that is wrong with them - their mothers didn't love them enough, the wife left them, etc. etc. "Pictures of naked women turned me into a monster - if they hadn't posed for those pictures I wouldn't be like this." They just can't ever own their own shortcomings.
If it’s just evolutionary then no one is to blame for it, but that’s obviously not true serial killers are evil by choice, and while porn isn’t the reason why he killed, that doesn’t take away from the fact that porn is harmful, how is it blaming women by saying porn is bad, it’s blaming a disgusting industry.
He warned about violent pornography. I agree that it's harmful.
@@samuellackey1555You misunderstand the point. Men in general, especially disturbed men and men in conservative societies, learn to blame women in different ways very early. In a more equal society where women have more equal human rights, it doesn't become as prominent. For a male serial killer, equality is not exactly a favorite subject of his, and he's therefore a great example of this attitude among many men. This is not an opinion, there's research and general figures showing the correlation. So try to keep that in mind when discussing views on men and women and gender roles with people. Top it up a notch and stop taking things personal. I'm white and I'm not going to get offended for the fact that black people have been awfully treated by whites. It's a historical fact, not a personal opinion.
This was a top notch analysis. Thank you very much.
In high school Pete Rose and Tom Seaver came to our campus to film TV show, I got to interview Seaver for the newspaper. At a break in filming Rose and Seaver stood back to back as I interviewed Seaver, and my classmate interviewed Rose. This was weeks after long-time Red manager Sparky Anderson had been fired, and me, being a young idiot opened up my questions, with, "how do you feel about your manager getting fired?" Seaver stiffened and bristled, Rose, who had heard my idiotic question, roared with laughter and turned to me gave me a shoulder massage and said, "relax kid, it'll be all right." I love that man. Yes he deserves to be in the HOF, based on his peerless play on the field.
You have the best videos! 🎉Have a great weekend Dr. G.
Thanks! Have a great weekend too!
It’s amazing how he always talked about Carol Daronch with such rage. The whole attack was full of rage (in comparison to his other attacks. His approach to Carol was somewhat different). She escaped from him, and that enraged him even more. And the nerve he had to carry that rage and call HER a liar in trial
She's the one that got away. Must have been painful for him.
On an entirely unrelated note - I would love to hear your feedback on everything you've seen from the 12 year old girl who stabbed her 9 year old brother. I would love to hear your analysis of the police bodycam footage/audio (can be found on Law & Crime Network) -- but I would really love to hear about whether or not you think the medication actually caused it... plausibly.
I've had a couple of requests to look into that case! Thank you!
I have had medications that said side effects are suicidal.
in the second interview when he gets startled by the phone ringing you can see for a fraction of a moment how he is trying to surpress intense anger which he literally swallows down before regaining his composure and continuing with his answer. This surpressed anger really gives me the shivers.
So Doc here is my question. I’ve always heard “ follow the money!” So first I think he had a degree in Psychology. He would then go to law school. That’s not cheap. What did he do for money? Then he travels from the Northwest to Colorado to Florida. What did he do for money to travel, to eat, to sleep? I am so glad you are doing these cases. Thank you!!
Great question ✨
He was a thief as well
Scholarships & student loans most likely paid for school. Bundy worked, volunteered & began doing B&Es while he hunted. He did earn an undergraduate psych degree as well as passed the bar. Like Gacy, Rader, D'Angelo, etc Bundy wasn't stupid, imo. That's the most frightening thing about this type of SK, again imo.
I hope this helps 🙂
@@LKB728 a thief will only get you so far, somebody was subsidizing him.
School was way way more affordable back in the day. My grand parents could both be doctoral students just doing work study and buy a house and a car.
My mom went to a private school and between work study and a small scholarship she owed like 1k that she paid off slowly
My grandfather knew the Bundy family, he was a distant relative and immigrated from America to Turkey when he was young, now he is 80 years old and he has memories of Ted when he was a child but he doesn't want to talk about it.
I was in Florida when Ted Bundy was executed and watched the coverage of it. I remember being confused by this interview and about whether TB really thought porn was to blame. I haven't thought about that interview in a long time. Interesting to hear Dr. G's thoughts so many years later.
Violent porn gave him ideas and he gave into his desires
Ted Bundy's spin on porn was his last ditch attempt to escape execution. The spin was "Ok ok fine I'm a serial killer, but it's um um porn! That's why I'm like this in fact I can help you catch serial killers and raise awareness in society about the dangers of porn! You need me you see...."
Justice department: No.....
@@kathleencastle8631 He was saying exactly what that preacher came to hear, the interviewer fed it to him and Ted repeated it back. Complete BS in some sort of last hope of living longer.
@@bradsanders6954 I'm not blaming porn. But I do think he favored violent porn.
Bloody poor guy so sad
Hey, Dr G - from Liverpool UK 🇬🇧. I absolutely love your channel, and your professional insight. If I could - I'd love to study to be a forensic psychologist. The human mind just amazes me.
Yeah, but then what's telling you that? Your biased human mind. 😋
We got lucky his arrogance made him stupid enough to use his REAL name when going around asking possible victims to "help him". That helped detectives narrow down to him.
him flashing back was so unsetting for a second I was like can I even finish this bc its one thing to hear about what they did but to sit and watch a serial killer reminisce on his murders is a whole other level
This is so good @Dr. G ! Thank you ❤
"I'm not blaming pornography". *blames pornography*
I blame his parents, period
@@ToyotaGuy1971for sure! I was just thinking this! WTF did his parents do to him to make him this way? Dammmnnnnnn
@@4TLOL Not knowing who your father was and thinking your mother was your sister ain't a good start, but ultimately he is fully responsible for all his bad actions.
I am super excited for your Ed Kemper analysis!
I would love to see Dr G analyze Vince McMahon in his interviews. It would be interesting to get his take on that narcissist.
Teddy had the makings of a great politician.
There are politicians like him they just kill people behind the scenes, and have people covering it up for them.
I understand your point!😢
The interviewer didn’t ask him anything about his mother, childhood family that’s directly related to his twisted behavior.
I’ve said it before but one of the most terrifying things about him is the fact that if you ran into him you’d probably like him. That’s how he coerced his victims. 😡
Right, he took advantage of the fact that most people aren't paranoid about everone being a killer, and that most people will give a person the benefit of the doubt. It's a vulnerability most of us have. Of couse now days it's a little different, feminist-propaganda has most females thinking evey man is a sexist, controlling, disgusting pervert until proven innocent.
So creepy to see him talking. In the older section, his demeanor was out of context for the situation: smiling, jovial, excited. And when he let his mask slip those eyes are terrifying. He bared his teeth and tightened his lips. There was a period where he was getting excited and he brought his hands together as if warping his fingers around a victim. I learned much from this thank you.
Yes I noticed that move with his hands and see it the way you do. It's the thing that stood out the most to me.
He was so happy because he knew he was going to escape soon and kill again
What’s the time stamp where he brought his hands together I can’t find it
@@devonstallworth6351 did u find it? makes me feel sick
I'm Brazilian and I watch you because I love psychology and people's mind and in addition to practicing American English that I love so much, congratulations for you job!
Although he doesn't stare intensely, the way he constantly dips his chin while staring out the corners or tops of his eyes is what really creeps me out. It's a glowering, sinister look. It gives the impression he's annoyed and communicates a sense of superiority over the interviewer. Likes he's rolling his eyes at her. In the first video, he's subtly rocking his body and fidgets a lot too. I don't know if that's self-soothing behavior but it makes me anxious just watching. I wanted to yell at him, "Sit still!!!" All the fidgeting appeared evasive to me, as if his body in addition to his mind was working hard to evade the interviewers questions. In the second video, he's still rocking that sinister look. 😈
Even though he is dead even now the way he looks creeps me out.
When he said, “I behave the way I feel is right,” tells me that he is very conscious of how he comes across.
What i find so fascinating about your analysis here are pointing out the subtleties he so skillfully uses as he engages in manipulative behavior.
As you mentioned , he can , perhaps unknowingly , come across as someone who thinks of himself so highly , while leaving doubts of those claims with the listener to come across as more believable.
Discovered your channel and few weeks and subscribed. I enjoy your videos very much and hope you gain more subscribers!
How could you say porn is not involved in making of a serial killer. Every serial killer I read about had a porn addiction. Every man who I know who likes porn has anger issues. The men who I know not into porn don't . Don't take my word for it. Look up other serial killers you will find porn addiction.
Correlation does not mean causation. I understand the logic, but we know enough about these types of individuals to know that does not cause any of their behaviors.
Then what causes it?
@@nicolegillespie4704 A combination of genetics and neurological dysfunction.
You have to be insane to actually believe that. Wow ted was a very minupulative individual. Thank God you wasn't one of his victims he would of been able to easily deceive you.
What you and a lot of people don't understand is that there has to be something seriously wrong with you already for you to do stuff like that. A normal person would just never do this stuff no matter what they watch.
I subscribed on your channel, because Doc…this man scares the s out of me, but hearing your interuptions and comments made me feel safe😂😂 the way you analyze him and comment is really helpful to be able to watch this monster without being traumatized
Doctor, you probably know that he kept photos of his victims. When an investigator asked why, he said, "When you do a job right, you want a record of it."
🥺!😳!😲!🤯!!
Terrifying..
@@KohalaLover it is.
@ Bob Taylor. So sorry. Tragedies shape us but the psychopaths don’t mind a bit, it seems.
Are those photos with the police or did he burn them?
Usually narcissistic psychopaths like TB also pursue careers so they can better manipulate ppl. I had an ex who resembled Ted to an eerie degree, in the way Ted masked himself to others as to come off as very polite, helpful, charismatic, somewhat of "a know it all" and enjoyed pushing boundaries, breaking rules, etc. He was an ex police officer with a BA in psychology. It literally gives me chills to this day and I think it's why I binge so many of TB videos bc the personalities are so similar. People who can charm like this are seriously demented and dangerous. They are masters at studying people. My ex was hands down a legit malignant narcissist with some sort of personality disorder as he showed signs of delusions and hallucinations. He was a serial cheater, gaslighter, manipulator and liar but not a killer...at least not to my knowledge.
Your content is truly amazing.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Great video ❤ I just wish the part where is asked about the murder of the six years old girl was included. His reaction was very interesting and worth mentioning
