I can't imagine what was behind those phonecalls. The amount of heartbreak the family had to face all over again is just tragic. May all of the victms rest in peace
This has happened before. Likely some debris was sitting on the phone buttons, and with people walking on top of said debris, it pushed the buttons, calling people. This was before cell phones had lock screens and people frequently saved common numbers they call as single digit auto-dial numbers. Basically, hold down one of the digits long enough, it will auto-call the person assigned to it. The phone probably wasn’t found because it was sandwiched between pieces of debris that just got loaded in a truck and dumped in a landfill. Once the battery ran out, the calls stopped. As I said, this has happened before and everyone always things it’s mysterious.
The phone was damaged in the crash and being an old phone with physical capacitive buttons, it started calling through his speedial numbers. You’d only need to press 1 and Call, or 2 and call, or 3 and Call, etc. The phone was in a train accident so it’s not hard to imagine the keys being dislodged and applying capacitance to other buttons. Explains why it’s calling and the microphone is busted.
Imagine just chilling in your house and your entire neighborhood pulls up to your house, accuses you of witchcraft, and kidnaps you. Genuinely terrifying.
@@CoolCartoons-e5b Yup, ape will follow even the most bat sh** of crazy stories with the face is pretty enough, the price is right, or the fist about to connect to their face to make them do it out of fear... either way ape never learns.
The Salem trials was urgot a mold that grows on crops and was found in the pots and such. It causes hallucinations there for them seeing stuff and accusing people of witch craft
The Salem Witch executions were likely because of the same thing as the Kenyan Witch executions; the local "sheriffs" could seize the land of anyone convicted of being a Witch. It's why Giles Corey never entered a plea and was crushed to death instead of hung. He entered no plea, and his land could not be seized. It's disgusting how many people were tortured and killed because of greed, but it's not surprising either.
Witch hunts both past and present don't have an economic motive. That's putting an inappropriate scientific explanation on events that result from a "premodern" world view. Both past and present there are simply too many witch hunts that occur with no economic motive. Thus the most likely explanation is that what's happening is exactly what it look like.
@llallogen7380 That was one of the explanations as well. When I went on a historical tour in Salem, they did discuss this as a prevailing theory to the wider hysteria, however, if I recall correctly, the historian noted that there was no solid evidence of there being enough of that naturally occurring fungus to be as widespread as the hysteria was. (I would have to check again to be sure.) Both could easily play into each other-- one or two sick people used as a catalyst for opportunistic folks to claim witchcraft and seize land and possessions.
The Metrolink crash was terrifying. I was one of the first responders since I lived within a block of the crash site. The nearby school had its soccer field converted into a field hospital and morgue for all the bodies of the victims. For almost 10 years you could still find pieces of the train's insulation along that stretch but now it's all disintegrated.
I still walk and ride my bike through there where Stoney Point is. It's almost like I suppressed this from my memory, but I was reminded of it when it came up. A very sad day, one that my dad narrowly avoided.
@@amandaaddario7342shut up Amanda. This is not a “story”. This is a real life tragedy that affected them and many other people. Them recalling their experience of said tragedy is not inserting themselves into a tragic story. If you don’t believe them just scroll instead of being so callous.
I'm an arm amputee among a bunch of other injuries because of a motorcycle accident, it literally angers me when I see videos of people like Taylor. I had my accident when I was 17, I'm 28 so it's been a while. Now let's be real nobody expects to get in a serious life changing accident, but that doesn't excuse the fact of riding around like a cocky asshole endangering other drivers. You learn pretty quickly how precious life is when you have it nearly taken from you, so to anyone that reads this... please be safe out there.
@@cdes1776 I'd love to do it, but idk if I could stomach it. I know the story is worth sharing and I'm sure once kids seen me it would leave a lasting effect on at least one, but it the bravery I lack.
Man the first story had me choking up, no one deserves to die during work and its only made sadder by Michael's own personal struggles. I hope he is resting peacefully with the lord now.
The motorcycle one is just what makes me as a rider myself so upset with some people who get on two wheels. When you no longer fear that bike, it’s time to give it up and get off of it. Not saying you need to be terrified of your bike or something but having a healthy fear of what it can do or what can happen is the most important thing I remind myself every day. A car will beat a bike every single day of the week. Period. Just sad that she became so complacent.
@@ScatterBrainedYouBetterFollow well I’m a female rider. I just know my limits and how quickly things can happen while on that bike. This woman was ignorant as hell and it cost her more than anything.
EVERY FUCKING TIME with the Witch tirals, its always about land/property or just someone that the town disliked. All of it just goes to the government/leaders. Salem was no different.
I remember that tragic day of the metrolink train accident. And I definitely remember, in REAL-time, newscasters talking about how first-responders and everyone else were going to use the CALLS loved ones received to track down any survivors. News reporters were just as baffled as everyone else when they discovered those passengers were long dead. It really shook everyone up. However, the tragic loss of lives became the focal point of the story, so that abnormal event became a sidenote.
@@7eyesopenwide168 if a huge tragedy that killed multiple happened on the exact same day and year you were born would you not be a little weirded out or freaked out about it? It doesn’t matter if it had nothing to do with me, something like that happening on my birthday is just a little freaky to me.
The motorcycle one killed me to see those TikToks of her just believing it wouldn't happen. My dad has told me this story many times about one of his close friends passing away in a motorcycle accident, and he was following the rules. Like he was turning left in an intersection and some guy coming out from the left didn't see him and he got hit and killed. Keep in mind, someone following the rules still got in an accident. And because he was on a motorcycle, his injuries were far more severe. So thinking about someone NOT taking precautions makes my blood boil because motorcycles are some of the most dangerous vehicles to ride on the open road, and any injury you would get from a car crash is going to be a lot more damaging on a motorcycle
I always cringe with these types of people who think just cause they have "experience" means nothing bad will ever happen. My dad had been driving motorcycles for 45 years and had his first and only accident in 2019. It was bad; broke every rib on his right side, a few on his left side and was left with a hernia (which he named Bob), cracked three vertebrae in his back, broke his wrist, and had road rash all over his entire body. The only reason he lived is because he's a bigger guy with a lot of "padding" shall we say and wore his full gear. He got the death wobble and couldn't recover, flipping over his handlebars and taking out a wooden signpost with his body. I got the camera footage and it was terrifying. He has no ego when it comes to his rides. Be safe or be dead. Motorcycles don't often give second chances.
Yeah friend passed a few years back from just starting his motorcycle and losing control I guess when he wanted to drive. Basically it just floored it straight into a wall and he slammed into it. Friend was close when it happened since they were going to go out for food. My friend driving his car and the other his motorcycle. Honestly fucked my friend up for months and was just out of no where. To this day once a month something just reminds me of it. Couldn't even look at him in the funeral since they had to basically stitch his head but from the little bit I saw, it didn't look like him at all and didn't want to remember him that way.

It’s 100% “spooky ghost stuff” bc they tracked the phone location, the only reason they were even able to finally find his body beneath the mangled wreckage, but only to never find his phone. That would mean “someone” found his phone, stayed there with his dead body, repeatedly dialing his loved ones-but oddly not 9-1-1-only to sneak away unnoticed, even tho he’s squarely in the center of all the carnage, with the phone in tow, but in window of them having found his location and then his body.
The fact that we're on the third part of this series and it's still not even scratching the surface of dark content really shows how morbid the world really is, huh
@@therealostrich836it’s no longer 8 bils. That number is wrong. U know how many people die around the year worldly ? it’s should be around 300-500 mils yearly
I'm a motorcyclist girl and there's a thing my boyfriend told me, that is to never get overconfident over your motorcycle skills, always pay attention to every thing near you and ride safely, cuz one simple mistake can cost you everything.
Thats correct.. 1 mistake thats all it takes. Just know that small mistakes are amplified at speed, the faster you go, the more perfect you have to be. I choose not to ride now after been taken out by another biker racing me. Lifes cheaper and easier without a bike.
Exactly this it’s the safety of social media that gives people the sence of safety when it really ain’t tankslapper is a dangerous thing my dad experienced it and has never gone that fast again
I have 2 theory regarding on the first one 1)some sicko on tik tok suggest that the cross mean he need to kill himself and sacrifice people to pleas god because god demand a soul Or possibly no 2 which is 2)he saw that cross and planning yo kill himself and other people so he can pleas god for what he did and i think he go to the train and ask his friend to start the train so that train can kill him and his other co-workers so
Charles Peck’s phone was damaged in the crash and was calling through his speed dial numbers. Pretty spooky, but logically explained with old school phones with physical capacitive buttons. The soft rubber keypads had capacitive dots on the back that correspond to a number on the phone. When you press that button, it creates a connection to the number. If you dislodged that keypad (like in a crash), the dots could be making a connection without needing to be pressed physically. On Speed Dial you have up to 9 numbers assigned. Pressing number 1 and then Call will call your first Speed Dial number. Pressing 2 and then Call will call your second. Etc, etc. This explains how calls cycled through his family, who would have been in his speed dial contacts IMO.
Welp, that’s all folks. Let’s all pack up & leave. Random armchair cell phone expert nobody on RUclips has finally cracked the case after all these years. A regular Columbo over here. If only they had your input back then.
I live half an hour from where the train track incident happened, seeing such familiar places in your video was shocking. I didn’t know about Michael’s whole story, that is chilling and incredibly sad. Thank you for covering this story Nick, lots of love from Italy
The post-death phonecalls gave me chills, and I definitely don't scare easily. The idea of dying under the wreckage of a train... I'm just glad the bodies weren't left in there.
I agree but also f taylor. She deserved it. The people stuck in traffic when her body should have been swept off the road like garbage did not deserve it.
Just last week my friend's grandmother got run over by a bike and died, the pilot is in the hospital, stable condition. I was wondering just that, must be horrible to know you killed someone.
Was thinking the same. A dumb girl getting killed in a motorcycle accident is scary? I guess I should feel so lucky notable horrors irl are barder to come by.
@@Leon-zu1wpThey are, at least in the developed world.

Taylors story happens literally all the time. Im a motorcyclist and while i ride fast SOMETIMES on an open straight road, youll never see me treating the damn street like its a track. You WILL fall off your bike eventually. You just dont know when. I had someone run into the back of me once while i was going down the street because they were drunk and couldn’t see straight passed their windshield. Luckily i survived and walked it off despite crashing at 40mph because I wore all my gear and he didnt run over me.
@@thotfox I saw a girl parked in the fast lane. No hazards lights on...No kind of warning..She was also walking around her car😮..You have to drive for other people..Be careful..Its dangerous on the road...Peace
@@evongilford392 that’s the problem. They don’t know how they have to learn to respect the driver, no matter if it’s the person on the bike or in the car.
So, I'm stupid and let curiosity get the best of me because I wanted to understand how any of it were even possible: I watched some of the Kisii witch stuff and it's BRUTAL. Most disturbing is the people being burned to death because theyre literally alive, moving around, and burning for a VERY long time, meanwhile being beaten with sticks and having more flaming items thrown on top of them. There's one guy in particular who I have no clue in regards to how he was still alive. He's sitting up in the fire, totally burning, but not trying to flee like the rest of the people. As the flames are engulfing him, he continues to sit there and doesn't show a single sign of the unimaginable pain he must have been in despite eventually being totally engulfed by the fire. There's a lot more but that's as far as I'm going with it. Honestly, I just didn't expect people to be able to live that long under those conditions. There was a ton of footage but I'm not willing to ever look at another bit of it.
Yea I'm good on seeing that, I saw a similar video on old shock/gore sites back in the day. Same thing as this basically, a bunch of people being beaten & burned alive for being witches. Awful to see, the world is incredibly cruel
For the phone calls the only thing that makes logical sense was there was another trapped passenger severely wounded that found the phone and was dialing contacts frantically to try and find help. They eventually gave up calling and died somewhere else among the wreckage
No, what actually makes sense is that the phone got crushed into a bunch of tiny pieces and something in the rubble was creating a connection on the computer chip inside the phone and dialing numbers from his recent call list.
The Taylor motorcycle death...of course their deaths were terribly tragic, but my heart genuinely goes out to the driver of the suv. Being a claims Adjuster, those left after a fatal accident suffer so much. No matter how many times you say it wasn't your fault, though sometimes never shake the guilt.
YES my exact thoughts. That driver is forever attached to something they didn’t ask for and will likely haunt them forever. Not their fault for irresponsible motorcyclists
Sad as it was for Taylor, she was clearly reckless and showed a young person's disconcern for others when it came to safety. Too many motorcyclists often think only their own lives are in great danger due to their thrill chasing and this is obviously not the case. I'm not even a dad, but her constant eye rolling from other people's concern for her had me shaking my head. We don't know if that recklessness is what lead directly to the fatal accident, but she kept company that fed that kind of energy, and they ultimately ended up in a situation where the lifestyle caught up to them.
@@KT-ne6fmmen are wizards which they would consider a doctor. Never would they use this term though. Don’t act like men don’t overpower…. Even the world, even now. Edit: Wizards/warlocks*** same thing.
There's like... A thousand explanations for how or why that could have happened outside of ghosts... But that's not anymore comforting. I can't imagine his loved ones going through that, that must have been horrible.
The motor cyclist in Tik Tok is a real cautionary tale. She got all the warnings in the world and people trying to give her advice, yet I can't help but feel bad for her all the same.
She likely had the “adrenaline junkie” mentality. Where one chases the high of the release of epinephrine by doing insanely dangerous things for the rush. Consequences be damned. There may have also been something else going on mentally that either made her have little to no impulse control or made her lose her sense of self-preservation. Or it could be a run-of-the-mill invincibility complex that teenagers and young adults have. We’ll never know. It’s sad either way.
Damn that story about josh and crashing his M5 really struck a cord with me. When I was 19 I bought a late 00s model Mercedes coupe that the previous owner had pimped out to be a speed demon. Not longer than a year after I got in a crash going like 75 mph flipping it multiple multiple times. 2 weeks in the Hospital and 5 months of being confined to my bed I was lucky enough to scrape by with my life suffering severe brain, spine and internal damage. 23 now and beyond grateful to walk let alone for my life. I tell all my siblings and any young person who will listen not to play with they life driving like a fool
Glad you’re ok but I’m all honestly would you listen to yourself at that age? Teens will always have that invincibility complex and that it won’t happen to them
the motorcycle and bmw stories are chilling. as a part of the large “car community” this happens everywhere everyday. To see it be included in this video along with the absolute chilling backstories is something we all need to see. Hope to see more like this Nick, keep it up with the truly informative & intriguing.
Yep. I worked with a guy who got a honda cruiser bike and he drove it like a maniac out of the working parking lot every night. We all kept warning him that he's a new rider with little experience and to stop being an idiot. That weekend we all did our thing and we came back in to a big sign saying he had passed away (without the reason why). I jumped on a local news page and found out he messed up on a turn going way too fast, hit a curb, was thrown off the bike and went head first into a tree. They suspect he was going 110km/hr in a 40km/hr zone. Sad, but play with fire like that and it'll burn you eventually. He only had the bike and his license to drive it for 2 weeks.
Well yeah, after a while nobody really believed they existed in the middle ages, they would just lie and use the fear to gain power so that anyone they accused died.
I went to college for a degree in film history, wanting to work in film archiving. Your archived clips are something this old nerd appreciates and eagerly awaits in every one of your videos!! Thank you!❤️
One of the most heartbreaking posts before tragedy that I know of was a Tweet from a girl in the cinema waiting for a showing of the Dark Knight rises remarking about having to sit through the ads and just excited to see the movie. 20 minutes later they were dead. They were shot dead by a mass shooter while sitting in the theatre and their last tweet is now just haunting.
My wife’s best friend’s husband last three Facebook posts are so sad to see. On April 6, 2015 he had uploaded pictures just labeled Family Easter Egg Hunt. Next was April 11, his daughters 3rd birthday party. Finally April 12 he has pictures of his Birthday/Fathers Day present in the form of June 12-14 Cubs tickets and a screen shot of a Chicago hotel reservation and he wrote “I may have been a good boy this past year.” From April 18, 2015 onwards it is all memorials and old pictures. He was involved in a car wreck on April 16, 2015 and died two days later.
The first one is so creepy but heart-breaking at him being aged 34. I had NO idea that it had happened in September this year. I hope Michael's resting well in Heaven.
No person on earth is going to Heaven until the second coming. Rn, he's just dead dead. Going to Heaven or below right after death is a common misconception amongst American Christians. Idek where that came from. The bible doesn't even say it. But it does say you go to the ground after you die. And if you're chosen, you're brought back during the second coming.
Wow, never thought that my country would be featured in a Nick Crowley presentation. But on the circumstances behind the witch killings are spot on. Another thing I could add on is the "notion of ridding of the unhelpul in society", whereby the old people cannot fend for themselves and have to be taken care of, using resources in terms of attention and time, which most of the people in society will frown upon, and will see it easier to rid of them than undetake the responsibilites.
Kenyan-American here! I seriously did not know anything about another Salem Witch trial event going on today until now. To make matters worse, my grandma is of the Kisii tribe, so I don't even wanna know how she felt when the news came out about her own villagers and townspeople killing people THE SAME AGE AS HER OR OLDER. It's very chilling overall.
19:30 I was just about to explain this; many tribes or ethnic groups still deeply believe in witchcraft, my mom vehemently does to the point she acted like I would immediately have witchcraft cast on me if i even looked at someone in my mom's country if I ever were to visit. Went on a whole erratic spiel, but then again, she has never been mentally stable. Anyways, my dad believes in it, witchcraft, but when he talks about it, it's to mock me and joke with me (as I love cats and even in Africa, at least in the part of West Africa my dad and mom are from, cats are associated with witches and witchcraft, which is fascinating as they also are in other cultures across the world, most notably as _familiars_ in Western fantasy/fiction, from novels to cartoons) you can tell he's more lighthearted about it, but he still tells witchcraft stories and what not. I think my dad even told me some Kenyan witchcraft stories, but I can't remember.
Thinking of those woman suffering by the one's who are supposed to support them the most, brings a tear to my eye. Crazy that it's not culturally acceptable to divorce someone who makes you miserable.
We don't even know if their husbands are actually abusive. And Nick exaggerated immensely, like many Westerners do when it's about Japan or Asia in general; plenty of Japanese people are divorced. As a woman, I think it's concerning that Nick and many others just believe everything women say or even write on the internet without question. They could just be murderous and awful people or maybe they're not even married or actually women. It's an internet forum, how are people still this naive. Besides, wishing someone death is still not acceptable and you being this dramatic about it just proves some people shouldn't have access to the internet.
It's a site for women to post about wanting their husbands to die, of course the women are always gonna make themselves out to be the victims Plenty of husbands are trapped in toxic relationships too, but nobody cares because they're men
I'm from Italy, and I remember very clearly when the train incident happened. I was having dinner with my family while watching Rai 1 (the mainstream italian channel) and then the news came in. It was a truely chilling moment to witness, and It'll always remain stuck in my mind...
Oddly for the uninitiated, a train and the noise it creates creeps up on you so gradually that you literally aren’t alerted to it. One job I had as a new hire was to watch for trains while my guys were working on the tracks. Even after being warned, I was responsible for a close call. ONCE. I’ve always been grateful that everyone escaped injury. I was well liked but was dragged for weeks, in a good natured way but with an unmistakable undercurrent of “ last chance ”.
Excpect a train a train in ether direction at any time. Something we are well aware of when operating on NARCOA excursions on live rail, but also on our club tracks. You never know when a train or other On Track Equipment may be operating.
Ironically from what I've learned The crucifix back then before Jesus death and his association with it was a symbol of a death sentence, basically if your crucified your heading and carrying your own tomb which makes this all the more eerie
Last Ride: Your sense of safety and responsibility can take a backseat when you try to be a show off and be reckless for internet attention. People will get hurt, get arrested, or even die because they want to be reckless for attention. Social attention will outweigh self-control, and it culminates in accidents like the fatal crashes that were presented in this video
Dear Nick Starting from 2:56, let's talk about the Brandizzo Disaster. 1) Sadly, the team working on the rails weren't supposed to be there in that precise moment. This type of operation has to be done only after a railway traffic stoppage has been given by Traffic Regulator. PROPERLY, This hasn't been given and so, no work were allowed. 2) No, the train didn't came out of nowhere because the train got a proper permission to operate as always, by signaling and everything. Yes, we're still mourning for the loss of the five, because of the their lives being broken in such a terrible way. But, this would have been avoided if the damned hurry to "finish the job" would be set aside... Hurry is the enemy of safety.
But what if work stopped, and there was an actual chance that leaving it like that could cause the train to derail and cause another incident like number 3?
@@JustK4Y1512 Luckily that hasn't been the case. The rail cutting was in an early stage, so the train would have passed over without any other damage. If in delay, maybe we would talk about a much higher death toll.

The clip you used before the Chuck Peck story was perfect. When you’re an engineer your passengers don’t just depend on you to get them where they need to go on time, but they also depend on you to get them there safely. The throttle isn’t the only thing in your hands, your passenger’s safety and lives are in them too. It’s really tragic knowing that a period of distraction caused so much pain, death, and long term grief. When driving a locomotive, or any vehicle for that matter, just put the phone down. The long term effects if something goes wrong just aren’t worth it.
The witch trial reminded me of a story from Brazil, where a woman was lynched around 2014 due to a rumor spread online that she would be a kidnapper. Pretty much the entire town gathered around to watch her get brutally beaten up. She was bipolar and had some altercation with a woman and her child, which quickly escalated into a rumor that she was a kidnapper who used kids in black magic rituals. 3 years later another rumor popped up using the images of her lynching that she would have burned a child with sodium hydroxide. Poor woman was having stories made up about her even after death. What's more disappointing is that people still do this on Twitter and TikTok daily, people never stopped making assumptions about situations that don't even involve them, it keeps happening to this day.
Even so, I’d feel horrified after finding out that I was giving encouraging words and that help was on its way to a man who was already dead before I knew about the collision.. that’s gotta haunt at least some of Charles’ family members.
My heart dropped when the metrolink story popped up. I was in middle school when this happened and one of my school's administrators was aboard that crashed train and was unfortunately killed. Wasn't someone I or my friend group knew very well, but the entire school was shocked when we heard the news nonetheless. Although I don't really think about this story much considering it was so long ago and I didn't know this administrator outside of a handful of brief interactions, it frustrates me to this day how easily avoidable these kinds of accidents are. Thanks for bringing attention to these kinds of stories, Nick.
The same thing happened with a family friend their daughter died driving drunk in a car accident and her phone was locked up at the police station smashed up shit off. Her mother kept getting calls with static for the first couple days after her death and then she finally told her it’s okay you can leave this earth now. Then she never heard back from the phone again. The cops were stumped because the phone was destroyed and not operational.
Something similar happened to me 25 years ago. My uncle passed and a week later we got a call from his landline and there was just static (cellphones weren't really popular back then). My dad called our phone service provider who told him that my uncle's phone line had been disconnected 3 days prior and was no longer operational so we couldn't be receiving calls from that number, since it didn't exist. I always chalked it up to a technical issue since I don't believe in spirits/God/the afterlife. Generally there's a rational explanation for strange goings on even if we can't work it out.
From Italy here: thanks for sharing Michael story. An investigation is still going on, but everyone believe it would lead to nothing. More accidents will come probably. But I really hope the workers will be more protect. May he rest in peace
@@Shawn-Leider First things first respect the deceased and you are right but that's just nature Nick Crowley doesn't just post these videos for entertainment he also post's them to give knowledge on what could happen in this very dangerous world hell in the next few seconds you could die no one knows when it's your time to go but that's just life
I'm not surprised about the call story. Something very similar happened with the grandfather of my ex. He surprisingly died in the hospital and the next few days that followed his grandmother (the wife) received several phone calls that she missed. The numbers were impossible, like 00000000, it was not anything she recognized. She finally managed to answer a call and it was just static on the other end. But she had a feeling that it was him and talked to him. She couldn't hear anything but static. She didn't receive a call after that anymore. When she showed us her phone log history,under the time of the calls she received , there were no names and no numbers just an empty space which I've never seen before and after that.
Nick Crowley vids are already spooky but when a story starts and I hear the word “tik tok” and realise the story is recent, it scares the shit out of me lol
In the Japanese one it felt surreal on how much was inspired by death note. The fact that they write about their husband (as a form of manifestation) and then thanking the god of death (shinigami)' that is the actual entity that kills (from Japanese culture to the manga). It feel so incredibly wrong but j don't even know what those woman had gone through to end up in a site like this
Well if a woman isn't getting what she wants or things start bothering her with lack of communication things will turn sour, then you get the cheating and stuff like that
Wow that witch section is wild! So someone can just want ur land then lie and say ur a witch so u and ur family get burned to death n ur land now belongs to that person. That is actually wild
It's highly unlikely the witch hunts are motivated by a desire for land. In Africa children are murdered, beaten and abandoned for being witches with shocking regularity. This happens in cities and children aren't normally landowners anyway. The witch hunts are exactly what they look like.
As a Kenyan-American with a grandma living in Kisii, it's almost most likely due to the high population of Christians in Kenya as a whole (~90%, could be wrong). Before the British Empire occupied the country, witchcraft wasn't a big deal as a good handful of Kenyans practiced their traditional religions, and yes, that included medical guidance from witch doctors and African alchemy.
im italian, and michael and his collegues were given the "green light" to start working even tho their bosses knew very well that a train would be coming. we really have an illness for work and money
I am Italian, and I have been hearing about the first chase for a while now… it’s often talked about on the News. And they often talk about the cross, too. they always talk about it as “some kind of sign from god”... I wasn’t expecting this chase to actually become an internet mystery.
They definitely did not have exact coordinates. You can tell where it was based on the cell tower it sent from. However, these old Nokia era phones used capacitive buttons with a rubber keypad over the numbers. It’s not improbable that the crash dislodged the keypad and pressed the other buttons. It could easily call his speed dial numbers by pressing 1 then call, or 2 then call.
@@MarioGoatse And it did that 35 times to 5 different numbers, with none of the damaged inputs canceling each other out since I doubt more than one number can be assigned to one potential key, and it won't speed dial anything if half the keypad is being simultaneously registered as pressed. I'm all for logical speculation, but that seems just as far fetched as his ghost pressing it.
@@A-Beat-up-86 It only needs 2 inputs. Speed dial has a number assigned to each button. So 1 and then Call button will call the first number. 2 and then Call button will call the second number. All the way up to 9. After the call button is pressed, any inputs do nothing, unless you hang up. Surely you’ve called someone and then accidentally pressed a button. It just beeps. Once that call drops out, or is hung up, then it can call again. It’s a train accident, so I don’t see how it’s unlikely that the capacitive keypad became dislodged and then started pressing other buttons. If that seems far fetched to you, then you’re not as logical as you think you are. You have two options. A physical deformation of a physical electrical device, or a ghost in the after life picks up their phone to call someone.
@@MarioGoatse The same way smartphones have a maximum number of touches they can respond to simultaneously so does an old Nokia have a limitation to how many button inputs it can address. Only 2 inputs are needed to make any given call using speed dial, but the odds of the keyboard of a phone in a crush accident only having 2 malfunctioning inputs out of 12+ buttons is low. If more buttons than can be addressed are pressed at once, it just does nothing. For the damage to be so specific that it can carry out 35 calls back to back doing what you claim seems unlikely.
The husband website was dark and horrible, yes, but it just goes to show that high divorce rates ≠ poor “family values” (which is a myth anyway). If you make divorce or abuse a taboo, it doesn’t make it go away - it just makes it harder for people to talk about.
I was born and raised in Salem MA, fun facts about this place and a little conspiracy theory from there. When we were in elementary school every year we would go over the Salem witch trial we honestly thought that they were grooming us to be tour guides when we grew up since we knew the lore so well some people I even knew from school ended up being tour guides. There is a real life mafia style witch war going on in Salem between 2 of the store that sell the more wiccan items. If a place is advertised as being haunted it most likely isn't. Most of the normal houses and building are though. Most people I know from Salem believe casually in ghosts which means we all grew up with strange stuff happening so we are all desensitized to it at this point. You probably can tell from this but most people who live in Salem hate the tourists that go there. I grew up on a locally known cursed street in Salem were a lot of strange stuff happened my house was so intensely haunted I have a scar on my eye from what we believe was a ghost. My neighbor who was a old lady living with her son died via a heart attack on her kitchen floor and 5 years later her son dies the exact same way in the exact same position in the exact same place. This is not even revealing the one house on the street that my best friend lived in that was so cursed it caused the murder suicide. Salem to this day is still wild if you know were to look.
@morganheisch8151 probably but honestly a lot of the people who live there would be happy about it. A lot of tourists forget that it's someone's home too and they are the ones that have to deal with the traffic and the aftermath when everyone leaves
@@joshuamurley6539sorry it took so long to get back to your post. What top crops and other outgoing products does salem produce? I realized it never crossed my mind. Maybe because everyone starts talking about the trials when salem is mentioned.

Love when Nick puts a new video out. There's no rolling the dice. No wondering if it's gonna be a good vid. They're just all good and I can appreciate that in a world of uncertainty. Ok that was a bit much, but Nick is all time.
thank god it wasn't world spread. we wont have any women left in the world. not only that but we would still be assholes that worships one person that doesn't have the power of god on his side.
You know, just like you mentioned in the video, the Salem witch trials were one of the darkest events in US history. That’s why it’s completely shocking to me that there are no good horror movies about it. It’s such a fertile source to work from.
You have the first two Warlock films, which only vaguely have anything to do with the witch trials, but still are related to them (and also being campy fun)
I dunno if it's just me, but all the discussion in high school about that event was enough for a lifetime, that's probably why people aren't very intruiged by it.
Cocky, arrogant reckless people that intentionally put themselves or others at risk of death or harm- I have very little sympathy for anything tragic that happens to them.
@@morrisseygirlfriendi don’t think they’re mentioning the railway workers. they’re probably mentioning Last Ride. being cocky, not listening to warnings, causing harm to yourself or others, is incredibly selfish. i have no sympathy for Taylor..
My dad was in the 2008 Metrolink crash. He survived thankfully, but not without a whole lot of trauma and physical injury. He couldn’t take the train for months afterwards, and even when he finally could again, he basically never did again while he worked in the area. A lot of people here still vividly remember that event, myself included. If people are interested I can share more, omitting my dad and I’s names ofc .
I had a friend who's wife had been putting antifreeze in his wine. He drank a big glass daily. I had known them both and would NEVER dream of her doing it. He kept getting sicker and sicker and didn't know why. One day he couldn't take it anymore and went to see a friend who was a doctor. The 1st thing that he did was a blood panel. He called his wife to tell her that he would be late, he was at the doctor's office. By the time he got home she was long gone. The panel spotted it.
I learned from a forensic files episode of something similar happening of a wife that unalived her husband using antifreeze. back in the day it used to have a sweet taste to it. after the investigators found out what happened I think the companies who made antifreeze changed their formulas so it would be unpalatable and noticeable. I am glad your friend lived. that must have been scary.
A note about the metrolink crash phone calls. One of the leading theories is his phone was damaged but still functioning somewhere in the wreck and had been essentially pocket dialing his family. Very sad to have that false hope 😕
Yeah, in Japan...it's very unlikely to marry a childhood crush or even a former girlfriend. Most marriages come from Speed Datings or Arranged Marriage meetings. Thus, married couples barely get to know each other and get a match only based by their annual salaries. It goes without saying that cheating and abuse is rampant, so is prostitution.
I think the most haunting things I've seen was on TikTok. There was this semi-popular account where a man was chronicaling his battle with covid, presumably unvaxxinated. He was hospitalized and soon stopped posting, as he died from it. But if you went back into his video catalogue to about a week or two before, you could see him at a wrestling match cheering-- but you could hear one person coughing loudly in the background very clearly. He could have gotten Covid from anywhere, really. But this was 2020 to 2021 iirc where the vaccine was just rolling out and not everyone had a chance to get it yet. He could have gotten it from a visit to the grocery store before or after the wrestling match. But it's just something that stuck with me. I don't remember the channel name but reddit might. It was a pretty popular thing that happened.
It’s so sad that something like divorce is so frowned upon that women have to huddle together in a website and just wait for their husbands to die so they could finally feel free again
I feel bad for the young man in the first story. Barely out of his teens and a hard worker. If there’s one thing I can respect dearly, is the future generations wanting to graft hard for their money, rather than thinking they’re entitled to it.
I knew EXACTLY how these women feel. My 10 year physically and mentally abusive relationship destroyed me and my sanity. I wanted him to die so bad and even attempted to take my own life
Crazy seeing Nick cover the last story, i went to school with a couple of the kids in that car, itwas sad. I lived nearly next door to that airplane strip where John Travolta also happens to live and use.
When you pray you better be specific is what I gathered from the first case. Rest easy to all the workers who died that day. Rest in Peace to anyone who has died from such things.
It’s still sad to know that all the disturbing stuff we learn about the internet is only a fraction of all the stuff that is out there

This has happened before. Likely some debris was sitting on the phone buttons, and with people walking on top of said debris, it pushed the buttons, calling people. This was before cell phones had lock screens and people frequently saved common numbers they call as single digit auto-dial numbers. Basically, hold down one of the digits long enough, it will auto-call the person assigned to it. The phone probably wasn’t found because it was sandwiched between pieces of debris that just got loaded in a truck and dumped in a landfill. Once the battery ran out, the calls stopped. As I said, this has happened before and everyone always things it’s mysterious.
The phone was damaged in the crash and being an old phone with physical capacitive buttons, it started calling through his speedial numbers. You’d only need to press 1 and Call, or 2 and call, or 3 and Call, etc. The phone was in a train accident so it’s not hard to imagine the keys being dislodged and applying capacitance to other buttons. Explains why it’s calling and the microphone is busted.
It might have been another passenger using his phone to call for help and it broke in the crash, so his family only heard static.

The Salem Witch executions were likely because of the same thing as the Kenyan Witch executions; the local "sheriffs" could seize the land of anyone convicted of being a Witch. It's why Giles Corey never entered a plea and was crushed to death instead of hung. He entered no plea, and his land could not be seized.
It's disgusting how many people were tortured and killed because of greed, but it's not surprising either.
Witch hunts both past and present don't have an economic motive. That's putting an inappropriate scientific explanation on events that result from a "premodern" world view. Both past and present there are simply too many witch hunts that occur with no economic motive. Thus the most likely explanation is that what's happening is exactly what it look like.
I was gonna say-the motivations and targets are so identical.
Weren't hallucinations and convulsions related to a fungus also a part of the Salem witch trials?
@llallogen7380 That was one of the explanations as well. When I went on a historical tour in Salem, they did discuss this as a prevailing theory to the wider hysteria, however, if I recall correctly, the historian noted that there was no solid evidence of there being enough of that naturally occurring fungus to be as widespread as the hysteria was. (I would have to check again to be sure.) Both could easily play into each other-- one or two sick people used as a catalyst for opportunistic folks to claim witchcraft and seize land and possessions.
Sadly I wouldn't be surprised if it's the officials there using the fear of witches to free up the land.
The Metrolink crash was terrifying. I was one of the first responders since I lived within a block of the crash site. The nearby school had its soccer field converted into a field hospital and morgue for all the bodies of the victims. For almost 10 years you could still find pieces of the train's insulation along that stretch but now it's all disintegrated.
You have my utmost respect, thank you.

News reporters were just as baffled as everyone else when they discovered those passengers were long dead. It really shook everyone up.

The motorcycle one killed me to see those TikToks of her just believing it wouldn't happen. My dad has told me this story many times about one of his close friends passing away in a motorcycle accident, and he was following the rules. Like he was turning left in an intersection and some guy coming out from the left didn't see him and he got hit and killed. Keep in mind, someone following the rules still got in an accident. And because he was on a motorcycle, his injuries were far more severe. So thinking about someone NOT taking precautions makes my blood boil because motorcycles are some of the most dangerous vehicles to ride on the open road, and any injury you would get from a car crash is going to be a lot more damaging on a motorcycle
I always cringe with these types of people who think just cause they have "experience" means nothing bad will ever happen. My dad had been driving motorcycles for 45 years and had his first and only accident in 2019. It was bad; broke every rib on his right side, a few on his left side and was left with a hernia (which he named Bob), cracked three vertebrae in his back, broke his wrist, and had road rash all over his entire body. The only reason he lived is because he's a bigger guy with a lot of "padding" shall we say and wore his full gear. He got the death wobble and couldn't recover, flipping over his handlebars and taking out a wooden signpost with his body. I got the camera footage and it was terrifying. He has no ego when it comes to his rides. Be safe or be dead. Motorcycles don't often give second chances.
Didn't feel the least bit of remorse for her. That's what happens when you get cocky.
Yeah friend passed a few years back from just starting his motorcycle and losing control I guess when he wanted to drive. Basically it just floored it straight into a wall and he slammed into it. Friend was close when it happened since they were going to go out for food. My friend driving his car and the other his motorcycle. Honestly fucked my friend up for months and was just out of no where. To this day once a month something just reminds me of it. Couldn't even look at him in the funeral since they had to basically stitch his head but from the little bit I saw, it didn't look like him at all and didn't want to remember him that way.
Then don’t ride one…?
@@unnamed715I think you mean sympathy, not remorse. Sorry to be annoying about grammar.
That Chuck Peck part was a literal emotional roller coaster for me so I could only imagine how his family felt when they got the news. Holy crap.
I’m listening while working, my head swiveled around and I said “WHAT?!” When he said they ended up not even finding the phone.
I'm not religious or spiritual at all, but I could buy into some form of divinity at work there
The more realist approach is that someone found his phone and just didn’t know what to do, or spiritual ghost stuff, I’m betting spooky stuff.

Charles Peck’s phone was damaged in the crash and was calling through his speed dial numbers. Pretty spooky, but logically explained with old school phones with physical capacitive buttons. The soft rubber keypads had capacitive dots on the back that correspond to a number on the phone. When you press that button, it creates a connection to the number. If you dislodged that keypad (like in a crash), the dots could be making a connection without needing to be pressed physically. On Speed Dial you have up to 9 numbers assigned. Pressing number 1 and then Call will call your first Speed Dial number. Pressing 2 and then Call will call your second. Etc, etc. This explains how calls cycled through his family, who would have been in his speed dial contacts IMO.
that would make sense!

Luckily i survived and walked it off despite crashing at 40mph because I wore all my gear and he didnt run over me.

Try to be careful, my friend. Your bikers are awesome.
@@evongilford392 that’s the problem. They don’t know how they have to learn to respect the driver, no matter if it’s the person on the bike or in the car.
So, I'm stupid and let curiosity get the best of me because I wanted to understand how any of it were even possible: I watched some of the Kisii witch stuff and it's BRUTAL. Most disturbing is the people being burned to death because theyre literally alive, moving around, and burning for a VERY long time, meanwhile being beaten with sticks and having more flaming items thrown on top of them.
There's one guy in particular who I have no clue in regards to how he was still alive. He's sitting up in the fire, totally burning, but not trying to flee like the rest of the people. As the flames are engulfing him, he continues to sit there and doesn't show a single sign of the unimaginable pain he must have been in despite eventually being totally engulfed by the fire. There's a lot more but that's as far as I'm going with it.
Honestly, I just didn't expect people to be able to live that long under those conditions. There was a ton of footage but I'm not willing to ever look at another bit of it.
O
Yea I'm good on seeing that, I saw a similar video on old shock/gore sites back in the day. Same thing as this basically, a bunch of people being beaten & burned alive for being witches. Awful to see, the world is incredibly cruel
For the phone calls the only thing that makes logical sense was there was another trapped passenger severely wounded that found the phone and was dialing contacts frantically to try and find help. They eventually gave up calling and died somewhere else among the wreckage
A phone is pretty small so in the debris coule be really hard to find
No, what actually makes sense is that the phone got crushed into a bunch of tiny pieces and something in the rubble was creating a connection on the computer chip inside the phone and dialing numbers from his recent call list.
Woulda been easier and far simpler to just dial 911. If they can push the buttons to call people then they'd be able to dial 911 too 🤷
They never found it though.
They came from the Twilight Zone.
The Taylor motorcycle death...of course their deaths were terribly tragic, but my heart genuinely goes out to the driver of the suv. Being a claims Adjuster, those left after a fatal accident suffer so much. No matter how many times you say it wasn't your fault, though sometimes never shake the guilt.
YES my exact thoughts. That driver is forever attached to something they didn’t ask for and will likely haunt them forever. Not their fault for irresponsible motorcyclists
I’m jealous. I wish I could be in their place. Lucky bastard
Agreed. I'd never drive again if that were to happen to me...
Sad as it was for Taylor, she was clearly reckless and showed a young person's disconcern for others when it came to safety. Too many motorcyclists often think only their own lives are in great danger due to their thrill chasing and this is obviously not the case. I'm not even a dad, but her constant eye rolling from other people's concern for her had me shaking my head. We don't know if that recklessness is what lead directly to the fatal accident, but she kept company that fed that kind of energy, and they ultimately ended up in a situation where the lifestyle caught up to them.

Damn that story about josh and crashing his M5 really struck a cord with me. When I was 19 I bought a late 00s model Mercedes coupe that the previous owner had pimped out to be a speed demon. Not longer than a year after I got in a crash going like 75 mph flipping it multiple multiple times. 2 weeks in the Hospital and 5 months of being confined to my bed I was lucky enough to scrape by with my life suffering severe brain, spine and internal damage. 23 now and beyond grateful to walk let alone for my life.

To see it be included in this video along with the absolute chilling backstories is something we all need to see. Hope to see more like this Nick, keep it up with the truly informative & intriguing.
I don't feel sorry for them.
Yep. I worked with a guy who got a honda cruiser bike and he drove it like a maniac out of the working parking lot every night. We all kept warning him that he's a new rider with little experience and to stop being an idiot. That weekend we all did our thing and we came back in to a big sign saying he had passed away (without the reason why). I jumped on a local news page and found out he messed up on a turn going way too fast, hit a curb, was thrown off the bike and went head first into a tree. They suspect he was going 110km/hr in a 40km/hr zone.
Sad, but play with fire like that and it'll burn you eventually. He only had the bike and his license to drive it for 2 weeks.
The witch stuff always intrigued me. If you truly believed in them, you'd never step foot on their land. Government systems are disgusting.

One of the most heartbreaking posts before tragedy that I know of was a Tweet from a girl in the cinema waiting for a showing of the Dark Knight rises remarking about having to sit through the ads and just excited to see the movie. 20 minutes later they were dead. They were shot dead by a mass shooter while sitting in the theatre and their last tweet is now just haunting.
My wife’s best friend’s husband last three Facebook posts are so sad to see. On April 6, 2015 he had uploaded pictures just labeled Family Easter Egg Hunt. Next was April 11, his daughters 3rd birthday party. Finally April 12 he has pictures of his Birthday/Fathers Day present in the form of June 12-14 Cubs tickets and a screen shot of a Chicago hotel reservation and he wrote “I may have been a good boy this past year.” From April 18, 2015 onwards it is all memorials and old pictures. He was involved in a car wreck on April 16, 2015 and died two days later.
It's sad to think a ghost could not understand they're dead and try to call all their family for help. Sounds like a book or horror game premise.
Ghosts aren't real
The first one is so creepy but heart-breaking at him being aged 34. I had NO idea that it had happened in September this year. I hope Michael's resting well in Heaven.
No person on earth is going to Heaven until the second coming. Rn, he's just dead dead. Going to Heaven or below right after death is a common misconception amongst American Christians. Idek where that came from. The bible doesn't even say it. But it does say you go to the ground after you die. And if you're chosen, you're brought back during the second coming.

Kenyan-American here! I seriously did not know anything about another Salem Witch trial event going on today until now. To make matters worse, my grandma is of the Kisii tribe, so I don't even wanna know how she felt when the news came out about her own villagers and townspeople killing people THE SAME AGE AS HER OR OLDER. It's very chilling overall.
As disturbing as your content is it’s addicting. I came across your channel tonight and just binged 6 of your videos and subbed! Good shit man

19:30 I was just about to explain this; many tribes or ethnic groups still deeply believe in witchcraft, my mom vehemently does to the point she acted like I would immediately have witchcraft cast on me if i even looked at someone in my mom's country if I ever were to visit. Went on a whole erratic spiel, but then again, she has never been mentally stable. Anyways, my dad believes in it, witchcraft, but when he talks about it, it's to mock me and joke with me (as I love cats and even in Africa, at least in the part of West Africa my dad and mom are from, cats are associated with witches and witchcraft, which is fascinating as they also are in other cultures across the world, most notably as _familiars_ in Western fantasy/fiction, from novels to cartoons) you can tell he's more lighthearted about it, but he still tells witchcraft stories and what not.

Thinking of those woman suffering by the one's who are supposed to support them the most, brings a tear to my eye. Crazy that it's not culturally acceptable to divorce someone who makes you miserable.
We don't even know if their husbands are actually abusive.
And Nick exaggerated immensely, like many Westerners do when it's about Japan or Asia in general; plenty of Japanese people are divorced.
As a woman, I think it's concerning that Nick and many others just believe everything women say or even write on the internet without question. They could just be murderous and awful people or maybe they're not even married or actually women.
It's an internet forum, how are people still this naive.
Besides, wishing someone death is still not acceptable and you being this dramatic about it just proves some people shouldn't have access to the internet.
They usually hit them too since it's not as culturally unacceptable as it is in the west
How can we be sure they arent the toxic ones?
What are you talking about? Divorce is very common in Japan. Nick is typical clueless gwailo
It's a site for women to post about wanting their husbands to die, of course the women are always gonna make themselves out to be the victims
Plenty of husbands are trapped in toxic relationships too, but nobody cares because they're men
I'm from Italy, and I remember very clearly when the train incident happened. I was having dinner with my family while watching Rai 1 (the mainstream italian channel) and then the news came in. It was a truely chilling moment to witness, and It'll always remain stuck in my mind...
Oddly for the uninitiated, a train and the noise it creates creeps up on you so gradually that you literally aren’t alerted to it. One job I had as a new hire was to watch for trains while my guys were working on the tracks. Even after being warned, I was responsible for a close call. ONCE. I’ve always been grateful that everyone escaped injury. I was well liked but was dragged for weeks, in a good natured way but with an unmistakable undercurrent of “ last chance ”.
I'm sure that work they're doing is quite noisy as well.
Excpect a train a train in ether direction at any time. Something we are well aware of when operating on NARCOA excursions on live rail, but also on our club tracks. You never know when a train or other On Track Equipment may be operating.
Michael's final post is a tombstone, not a crucifix. Notice the structure it's on. It was foreshadowing the tragedy to come.
its a crucifix
@@laviniaftPay attention too what the cross is on
Tombstones are commonly in the shape of… a crucifix.

Ironically from what I've learned
The crucifix back then before Jesus death and his association with it was a symbol of a death sentence, basically if your crucified your heading and carrying your own tomb which makes this all the more eerie
Last Ride: Your sense of safety and responsibility can take a backseat when you try to be a show off and be reckless for internet attention. People will get hurt, get arrested, or even die because they want to be reckless for attention.
Social attention will outweigh self-control, and it culminates in accidents like the fatal crashes that were presented in this video
Darwinism at its finest. Ignore everyone else's advice and endanger everyone along the way.
Dear Nick
Starting from 2:56, let's talk about the Brandizzo Disaster.
1) Sadly, the team working on the rails weren't supposed to be there in that precise moment. This type of operation has to be done only after a railway traffic stoppage has been given by Traffic Regulator. PROPERLY, This hasn't been given and so, no work were allowed.
2) No, the train didn't came out of nowhere because the train got a proper permission to operate as always, by signaling and everything.
Yes, we're still mourning for the loss of the five, because of the their lives being broken in such a terrible way. But, this would have been avoided if the damned hurry to "finish the job" would be set aside... Hurry is the enemy of safety.
But what if work stopped, and there was an actual chance that leaving it like that could cause the train to derail and cause another incident like number 3?
@@JustK4Y1512 Luckily that hasn't been the case. The rail cutting was in an early stage, so the train would have passed over without any other damage. If in delay, maybe we would talk about a much higher death toll.

The clip you used before the Chuck Peck story was perfect. When you’re an engineer your passengers don’t just depend on you to get them where they need to go on time, but they also depend on you to get them there safely. The throttle isn’t the only thing in your hands, your passenger’s safety and lives are in them too. It’s really tragic knowing that a period of distraction caused so much pain, death, and long term grief. When driving a locomotive, or any vehicle for that matter, just put the phone down. The long term effects if something goes wrong just aren’t worth it.
The witch trial reminded me of a story from Brazil, where a woman was lynched around 2014 due to a rumor spread online that she would be a kidnapper. Pretty much the entire town gathered around to watch her get brutally beaten up. She was bipolar and had some altercation with a woman and her child, which quickly escalated into a rumor that she was a kidnapper who used kids in black magic rituals. 3 years later another rumor popped up using the images of her lynching that she would have burned a child with sodium hydroxide.
Poor woman was having stories made up about her even after death.
What's more disappointing is that people still do this on Twitter and TikTok daily, people never stopped making assumptions about situations that don't even involve them, it keeps happening to this day.

My heart dropped when the metrolink story popped up. I was in middle school when this happened and one of my school's administrators was aboard that crashed train and was unfortunately killed. Wasn't someone I or my friend group knew very well, but the entire school was shocked when we heard the news nonetheless. Although I don't really think about this story much considering it was so long ago and I didn't know this administrator outside of a handful of brief interactions, it frustrates me to this day how easily avoidable these kinds of accidents are. Thanks for bringing attention to these kinds of stories, Nick.
The same thing happened with a family friend their daughter died driving drunk in a car accident and her phone was locked up at the police station smashed up shit off. Her mother kept getting calls with static for the first couple days after her death and then she finally told her it’s okay you can leave this earth now. Then she never heard back from the phone again. The cops were stumped because the phone was destroyed and not operational.

Something similar happened to me 25 years ago. My uncle passed and a week later we got a call from his landline and there was just static (cellphones weren't really popular back then). My dad called our phone service provider who told him that my uncle's phone line had been disconnected 3 days prior and was no longer operational so we couldn't be receiving calls from that number, since it didn't exist. I always chalked it up to a technical issue since I don't believe in spirits/God/the afterlife. Generally there's a rational explanation for strange goings on even if we can't work it out.
@Sergei-D that sounds like it came from the afterlife.

I'm not surprised about the call story. Something very similar happened with the grandfather of my ex. He surprisingly died in the hospital and the next few days that followed his grandmother (the wife) received several phone calls that she missed. The numbers were impossible, like 00000000, it was not anything she recognized. She finally managed to answer a call and it was just static on the other end. But she had a feeling that it was him and talked to him. She couldn't hear anything but static.
She didn't receive a call after that anymore. When she showed us her phone log history,under the time of the calls she received , there were no names and no numbers just an empty space which I've never seen before and after that.

Somewhere where is no culture and laws yes
It's highly unlikely the witch hunts are motivated by a desire for land. In Africa children are murdered, beaten and abandoned for being witches with shocking regularity. This happens in cities and children aren't normally landowners anyway. The witch hunts are exactly what they look like.
As a Kenyan-American with a grandma living in Kisii, it's almost most likely due to the high population of Christians in Kenya as a whole (~90%, could be wrong). Before the British Empire occupied the country, witchcraft wasn't a big deal as a good handful of Kenyans practiced their traditional religions, and yes, that included medical guidance from witch doctors and African alchemy.

I am Italian, and I have been hearing about the first chase for a while now… it’s often talked about on the News.
And they often talk about the cross, too. they always talk about it as “some kind of sign from god”...
I wasn’t expecting this chase to actually become an internet mystery.
Thats crazy how Charlies Peck's phone was never found, but they had exact coordinates where he was. But was long dead, how?
They definitely did not have exact coordinates. You can tell where it was based on the cell tower it sent from. However, these old Nokia era phones used capacitive buttons with a rubber keypad over the numbers. It’s not improbable that the crash dislodged the keypad and pressed the other buttons. It could easily call his speed dial numbers by pressing 1 then call, or 2 then call.
@@MarioGoatse And it did that 35 times to 5 different numbers, with none of the damaged inputs canceling each other out since I doubt more than one number can be assigned to one potential key, and it won't speed dial anything if half the keypad is being simultaneously registered as pressed. I'm all for logical speculation, but that seems just as far fetched as his ghost pressing it.
@@A-Beat-up-86 It only needs 2 inputs. Speed dial has a number assigned to each button. So 1 and then Call button will call the first number. 2 and then Call button will call the second number. All the way up to 9. After the call button is pressed, any inputs do nothing, unless you hang up. Surely you’ve called someone and then accidentally pressed a button. It just beeps. Once that call drops out, or is hung up, then it can call again. It’s a train accident, so I don’t see how it’s unlikely that the capacitive keypad became dislodged and then started pressing other buttons. If that seems far fetched to you, then you’re not as logical as you think you are. You have two options. A physical deformation of a physical electrical device, or a ghost in the after life picks up their phone to call someone.
@@MarioGoatse The same way smartphones have a maximum number of touches they can respond to simultaneously so does an old Nokia have a limitation to how many button inputs it can address. Only 2 inputs are needed to make any given call using speed dial, but the odds of the keyboard of a phone in a crush accident only having 2 malfunctioning inputs out of 12+ buttons is low. If more buttons than can be addressed are pressed at once, it just does nothing. For the damage to be so specific that it can carry out 35 calls back to back doing what you claim seems unlikely.

The husband website was dark and horrible, yes, but it just goes to show that high divorce rates ≠ poor “family values” (which is a myth anyway). If you make divorce or abuse a taboo, it doesn’t make it go away - it just makes it harder for people to talk about.
I was born and raised in Salem MA, fun facts about this place and a little conspiracy theory from there.
When we were in elementary school every year we would go over the Salem witch trial we honestly thought that they were grooming us to be tour guides when we grew up since we knew the lore so well some people I even knew from school ended up being tour guides.
There is a real life mafia style witch war going on in Salem between 2 of the store that sell the more wiccan items.
If a place is advertised as being haunted it most likely isn't. Most of the normal houses and building are though. Most people I know from Salem believe casually in ghosts which means we all grew up with strange stuff happening so we are all desensitized to it at this point.
You probably can tell from this but most people who live in Salem hate the tourists that go there.
I grew up on a locally known cursed street in Salem were a lot of strange stuff happened my house was so intensely haunted I have a scar on my eye from what we believe was a ghost. My neighbor who was a old lady living with her son died via a heart attack on her kitchen floor and 5 years later her son dies the exact same way in the exact same position in the exact same place. This is not even revealing the one house on the street that my best friend lived in that was so cursed it caused the murder suicide.
Salem to this day is still wild if you know were to look.

Please tell us about the scar on your eye, I’m so intrigued bro don’t leave us hanging

this is the first time I've managed to see something from you so early, so I wanna say this. Your intros with splicing different clips is absolutely an amazing atmospheric touch. keep up the good work!
+1!
I need to just take a min and give credit where it’s due. You are amazing at these videos, how you put them together and how you’ve quite literally mastered the art of darkness. I love it! Lol thank you ❤
Love when Nick puts a new video out. There's no rolling the dice. No wondering if it's gonna be a good vid. They're just all good and I can appreciate that in a world of uncertainty. Ok that was a bit much, but Nick is all time.
The Kisii witch trials being about land is not too far off from historical witch trials in the Americas and Europe.
thank god it wasn't world spread. we wont have any women left in the world. not only that but we would still be assholes that worships one person that doesn't have the power of god on his side.
@@rickydiscord7671Well, other parts of the world find other reasons to kill women though.
@@NoDefaultsPlease my point is not EVERYONE is doing it. "parts" is not the whole world.
You know, just like you mentioned in the video, the Salem witch trials were one of the darkest events in US history. That’s why it’s completely shocking to me that there are no good horror movies about it. It’s such a fertile source to work from.
no it fr is. and from all the movies the one i like is Paranorman which ik isnt fully horror but it did such a good job with addressing the topic
If it's done right and remains respectful to the victims, sure.
Not really. How many people died during the years long trials? Less than 20
You have the first two Warlock films, which only vaguely have anything to do with the witch trials, but still are related to them (and also being campy fun)
I dunno if it's just me, but all the discussion in high school about that event was enough for a lifetime, that's probably why people aren't very intruiged by it.
I hope Taylor’s and Joshua’s story speaks to other arrogant drivers to stop being reckless because they have no regard for life and risk.
Cocky, arrogant reckless people that intentionally put themselves or others at risk of death or harm- I have very little sympathy for anything tragic that happens to them.
even the railway workers? they weren’t doing anything stupid
@@morrisseygirlfriendi don’t think they’re mentioning the railway workers. they’re probably mentioning Last Ride. being cocky, not listening to warnings, causing harm to yourself or others, is incredibly selfish. i have no sympathy for Taylor..
@@morrisseygirlfriendThe railroad workers weren’t being arrogant, they had no time to react. May everyone in this video Rest in Peace
@@tilebreakersthere are rumors that they knew they couldn’t work there, but did it anyway for fun
@@NatBurgyan they were doing work for fun? somehow, i doubt that
Dude I love watching Nick's vids . They give me such a winter vibes and I am living for it
My dad was in the 2008 Metrolink crash. He survived thankfully, but not without a whole lot of trauma and physical injury. He couldn’t take the train for months afterwards, and even when he finally could again, he basically never did again while he worked in the area. A lot of people here still vividly remember that event, myself included. If people are interested I can share more, omitting my dad and I’s names ofc .
Taylor's motorcycle disaster is literally the saying "the more you fuck around, the more you find out".
I had a friend who's wife had been putting antifreeze in his wine. He drank a big glass daily. I had known them both and would NEVER dream of her doing it. He kept getting sicker and sicker and didn't know why. One day he couldn't take it anymore and went to see a friend who was a doctor. The 1st thing that he did was a blood panel. He called his wife to tell her that he would be late, he was at the doctor's office. By the time he got home she was long gone. The panel spotted it.
I learned from a forensic files episode of something similar happening of a wife that unalived her husband using antifreeze. back in the day it used to have a sweet taste to it. after the investigators found out what happened I think the companies who made antifreeze changed their formulas so it would be unpalatable and noticeable.
I am glad your friend lived. that must have been scary.
A note about the metrolink crash phone calls. One of the leading theories is his phone was damaged but still functioning somewhere in the wreck and had been essentially pocket dialing his family. Very sad to have that false hope 😕
But they never found the phone… remember Nick said that? Soooo that’s the eerie part..
@@katybug6572 wtf, this doesn't happen often but i'm getting goosebumps rn
you know it’s gonna be a good day when nick crowley posts a new vid
I agree 😅
Facts
@@destaniedillard1001 I prefer to watch these at night
Yeah, in Japan...it's very unlikely to marry a childhood crush or even a former girlfriend. Most marriages come from Speed Datings or Arranged Marriage meetings.
Thus, married couples barely get to know each other and get a match only based by their annual salaries.
It goes without saying that cheating and abuse is rampant, so is prostitution.
I think the most haunting things I've seen was on TikTok. There was this semi-popular account where a man was chronicaling his battle with covid, presumably unvaxxinated. He was hospitalized and soon stopped posting, as he died from it.
But if you went back into his video catalogue to about a week or two before, you could see him at a wrestling match cheering-- but you could hear one person coughing loudly in the background very clearly.
He could have gotten Covid from anywhere, really. But this was 2020 to 2021 iirc where the vaccine was just rolling out and not everyone had a chance to get it yet. He could have gotten it from a visit to the grocery store before or after the wrestling match. But it's just something that stuck with me. I don't remember the channel name but reddit might. It was a pretty popular thing that happened.
the fully safe and effective, does not prevent transmission
🤌💉📈
@logoscartel it's not even a vaccine. That's a misnomer
@@logosfocus get the Pfizer one for a Myocardithis Special
Lmao that is not haunting at all, nothing about covid is haunting. The majority of us unvaccinated folks are still kicking, just fyi.
Stuff it
The best editing, stories, content, storytelling, etc, etc, on RUclips! Thanks, homey! Always appreciated! 🙏
I binged most of your content only now realizing it will take 1-2 months for a new video. I've been waiting for this. Keep it up!
And that's my " only" gripe about the channel. Wish he had time to do more. Savox takes even longer it's months between uploads.
Hmm Savox I'll look him up. Yeah I like his calm documentary styled voice. Quality over quantity for sure.
It’s so sad that something like divorce is so frowned upon that women have to huddle together in a website and just wait for their husbands to die so they could finally feel free again
Nick Crowley, your voice is really nice. I love listening to your videos until I fall asleep. Keep up the good work bro!
had a shitty end to my shift today, so it’s nice to come home and watch a nick crowley video 🙏🏽
I'm Kenyan and I can say you've covered the Kisii story very well👌🏽👌🏽
I feel bad for the young man in the first story.
Barely out of his teens and a hard worker. If there’s one thing I can respect dearly, is the future generations wanting to graft hard for their money, rather than thinking they’re entitled to it.
I knew EXACTLY how these women feel. My 10 year physically and mentally abusive relationship destroyed me and my sanity. I wanted him to die so bad and even attempted to take my own life
Woah... Well I'm glad u got away from it & doing better. Sad to hear u went through it
@@______2696Maybe you should set an example for them and do it first lol
@clipped6946 You certainly can't be accused of giving women the benefit of the doubt, eh?
@@displayer6023Why should a woman be given any more benefit of the doubt than a man? They want to be equal right?
@clipped6946Hahaha what imaginary world do you live in?? Most abusers never face any repercussions 😂😂
Nick crowley works way too hard he deserves more.
Crazy seeing Nick cover the last story, i went to school with a couple of the kids in that car, itwas sad. I lived nearly next door to that airplane strip where John Travolta also happens to live and use.
What year did u went to school with them ?
When you pray you better be specific is what I gathered from the first case. Rest easy to all the workers who died that day. Rest in Peace to anyone who has died from such things.
