My take on Alex from Tennessee is that the original poster wanted to start a creepy ARG with a real-world-location component, got frustrated because no-one wanted to participate (understandably, that's the kind of decision that starts a slasher film), so made a sock puppet account and 'found' the prize himself.

Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless! And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved! 1. Believe that God sent His Son (Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later. 2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you! 3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever. 4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever. I'm Praying for you and you are loved (Romans 10:9-13))
Seriously I get really irked by some content creators who just instantly accept every story like it’s gospel and are just like “yep the demon baby really did kill the family isnt that crazy guys 😱 “ without any hesitation or thought lol
Someone probably said it, but I really like how you add a sense of "realness" to these stories. I know that most other horror creators would say that certain events, like Doveland, where "real and unexplainable", but I like that you try not to lead your audience into a lie , and actually give them facts and evidence 🙂
The moment you said that the first mention of Doveland you could find was on a Tumblr post it immediately set off an alarm for me. Idk how familiar you are with the site but Tumblr has a whole culture around inventing fake stories for entertainment. The most famous example of this is the 1973 Martin Scorsese mafia film Goncharov which even got an IMDB page and Scorsese himself confirmed its existence despite the movie being entirely made up by Tumblr users. My point is, if the first mention of Doveland really is on Tumblr, I would bet real money that OP just made it up and just like Goncharov it spread beyond Tumblr because it's a genuinely interesting concept.
This is true, but tumblr is also known to have genuine stories that did occur. Granted, I've only ever seen wholesome encounter stories and interesting historical facts, but it doesn't immediately rule out the story as unreliable. Also, the Goncharov thing was just a running gag that everyone on the site was in on.
the reason to me that alarm bells are ringing is the project sanguine itself. ELF is so low energy that it's wavelength is like 100,000 to 10,000 kilometers, there is no accident that could cause the removal of an entire town. the conspiracy is easy to believe due to pop culture's view of the military and general lack of knowledge regarding physics. It kind of plays in to this pseudoscientific notion that non-ionizing radiation especially such low energy radiation is harmful or biologically significant... it isn't. it has the power of like 12.4 femtovolts? to put that in perspective, a microvolt is 1 billion times more energetic.
@@SuperJediTurtle he like a ton of people were in on the meme, at the very least his daughter was, so he either played along, or his daughter invented screenshot. it became kind of a semi-viral thing that was played in to by a number of people.
I don't know, that photo definitely looks real, looks exactly like how a lot of old photos of my dad in the 80s looked hopefully it's just a bunch of drunk men doing dumbass drunk men stuff lol or just replicating a movie.
The skull in the donations box at 9:10 is pretty explainable. Back in the day, archaeologists were allowed to take their work home, including artifacts and bones. They didn't always get returned. I unfortunately know this from experience. Recently, there was an old archaeologist how passed in my general area. In his garage were dozens of boxes full of old government documents, artifacts and both animal and human bones, a vast majority of which were completely unlabeled. I know one of the archaeologists who was brought in to sort through everything. It's been several month and they're still sorting through his garage. If I had to bet, that'd be my guess, and the owner or whoever donated it may've just thrown the box into the donate pile without digging through it. That doesn't make it any less dark or alarming though.
@@dallywang6143 I assume the skull was matched to a known natural death or was dated to be decisively too old to be connected to any relevant cases, and they concluded based on lack of extraordinary damage.
it also used to be legal to bring human remains back from vacation as souvenirs, there were times and places where people even sold skulls dug up from mass graves as souvenirs of massacres and wars. A lot of soldiers snuck them back home after war too. You can also legally buy real human skulls online as medical models, but they're really expensive.
@@ContraryASMRI think that is inaccurate and if it was true that's very irresponsible... "Oh, well the skull dates to about 1932 so it's not relevant enough to care about what could've actually happened, let's just go with natural causes"
I heard they were sacred to the ancient egyptians, they used them to guard the pharaohs back before the raccoons hopped a ride with Columbus and settled in the new world.
On a lighter note, I once found money in a pair of pants at a Thrift store. I left the money in the pants hoping that a less fortunate guy would buy the pants and find the money when he got home. A few years later I found $350 in an empty aisle at a grocery store. I said "Thank you God!". But I felt guilty so I told my wife who was with me. She said that I had find the owner. I cautiously asked a few shoppers if they'd lost money. I even asked a cashier. She said that she would hold it for me. No thank you. I actually found the owner, a little old lady who was crying at a check out line with an empty Bank envelope. A different cashier was trying to comfort her. I knew this was the owner. I said "Ma'am did you lose this money?" I just handed it to her and walked away.
God bless you for finding the money’s rightful owner, and ensuring she got it back. I can’t imagine how heartbroken she felt thinking it was lost for good.
Doveland could have been the name of the actual military housing neighborhood, not the town itself. I was a military kid and we lived in some military housing communities that had their own name some of which could have been mistaken for the name of a town. For example we lived in a navy housing subdivision called Victory Terrace, one called Gold Coast, one called Weary. None of those were cities even though some can feel big enough to be like a hamlet. A lot of older military housing was poorly maintained and much was demolished in the 80s and 90s and later contracted out to civillian companies. I bet Doveland was a small neighborhood of military familg housing inside of a smaller town around there. These places sometime have their own schools, community centers, playgrounds, clinics, convenience stores, etc.
@highstrangeness1824 what is weird about that? No different than any large gated community. Many private neighborhoods have extra amenities. Doveland being a military family housing, it would a little bit more than the average private neighborhood such as commissary, base exchange, convenience store/gas station, even their own schools. The military has its own agencies that administer these services on bases such as AAFES (they run the stores and gas stations on army and air force bases) or DoDea who runs k-12 public schools but on some military installations. It's just a military base. Some are smaller than others. When the operation is done, all of it goes eventually. It's not privately owned so when the buildings decay and the land goes back to the state, the housing community vanishes into history. I lived on a TINY military base in Germany that had only 800 soldiers and their families. We had our own elementary, commissary, post exange, teen center, day care, library church etc.
I just found your channel and I asolutely love it. No chit chat, no stupid remarks or long winded personal anecdotes, right into the stories. Leaving a comment for the algorythm, because you deserve it!
@@Lilrob22Yeah I couldn't get enough of ballen for the first year and a bit.. Then after telling tragic heartbreaking stories he'd always tell a little joke at the end, even after such horrific stories.. Now he's started The MrBallen foundation for the victims and victims families 🤨😑 so he cares by sharing a part of someone's life then clearly doesn't care by making jokes/puns at the end. I still like ballen but I'm not hooked anymore. Tbh the GOAT of story telling is Mr Nightmare imo.
Exactly. It's nice to see there are still people able to think critically. I'm rolling my eyes as I read through the comments at all the theories as to what might have happened.
I am one of the few people who actually knows the story behind the Alex from Tennessee thread. I was born and raised in Elizabethton and during the last few years of high school. One of my teachers and I were talking about his daughter getting hundreds of thousands of viewers streaming the end of Club Penguin. Shortly after he casually dropped that his brother was the OP and that he did it as a prank and that it got sort of popular. I'm not quite sure that neither him or OP entirely understand the impact the post made or how it is an iconic piece of the internet. There is not a large amount of people who actually know, just mostly acquaintances of OP and his brother.
@@EasyEighty-Eight His brother made the original post and then played along with it. His actual name is Alex and he was the only individual actually involved.
My husband and i were on Vacation in a different state than were we live. We decided to stop at a thrift store. I saw this porcelain doll on a shelf and said "ewww i had that exact doll. It creeped me out so my mom sold it at a yard sale" this dolls color is ash grey. Like a dead person. And her dress is brown. My husband picked it up and said "who would make a childs doll look like this. I grabbed it and lifted her dress to show him the fabric body was the same creepy grey and i almost dropped her. IT WAS MY DOLL!! I wrote my name on her in green marker when i was like 7. I had to buy her. I told the store owner the story and showed her my ID. She just gave her to me. My mom got me that and she passed a few years before this. She always felt bad because it used to scare me. The thrift store owner was convinced my mom somehow made this happen from the spirit world. I just thought it was a really really crazy situation 🤷
I know of an old biker that has a complete atlas of the us from before interstates wherebuilt. He likes to use it to make routes for riding. You never know where you will end up and the people you will meet trying to follow the Derections lol.
EXACTLY! LOLs The dude in the video says "Tumbler" and 2015 is the oldest information he could gather on that town. The government keeps detailed records of all these towns . Especially the BLM and the Wildlife service.
there's a possibility it was never an actual town, but instead a pop-up town. pop-up towns are quick built towns set up in the middle of nowhere to house military personnel and possibly their families while they are working on a project. when the project is either done or cancelled the town is either abandoned or torn down. one of these abandoned towns is (or at least was) in san fransisco, it was used in a few episodes of mythbusters when they needed a neighborhood for some of their driving myths. so the pop-up town coulda been called doveland and once project sanguine was shuttered the town was torn down, and because it was never an official town, it would've never been on any map.
The really disturbing thing about that first one is that the “clawed hand” looked to me more like the remains of a human hand with the flesh starting to recede from the bone. The discoloration and shriveling of soft tissue is consistent with mummification. It doesn’t prove the poster was responsible for that but it does show they had access to photos of someone who was in that state. Pretty wide range of possibilities after that… everything from them being a student studying forensics, medicine or anthropology to them being an actual killer or someone who found a body and was just cracked enough to take a bunch of photos for their own use. Who knows?
I’d venture a guess the picture is fake and/or completely unrelated. It looks to be in a completely different environment than the pics that “Alex” took (in broad daylight in a grassy area). The hand looks human-esque but the bones do not look human. Phalanges are pointed and bumpy (knuckles). Those appear blunt at the end. Also, there’s wiry hair that looks more consistent with an animal than human body hair. The whole thing screams a lame attempt at an ARG.
i used to think it was a human hand when i was younger, but if you take a closer look at the image the scale just doesn't make sense. look at how large the clover leaves and blades of grass are in comparison to the hand. if this was a human hand, it would have to be a baby's. raccoons have paws that are very similar in structure to human hands (all things considered) and much more consistent with this hand's apparent size. it's much more likely it's just a dead raccoon
Those old pictures are creepy as hell. I can’t even explain why they are so disturbing but they are .. as are the older black and white photos of Halloween costumes from the 60s
Yes, I could never understand the reason for death photos, either……it is creepy, especially if the eyes are open! BUT, in days of not having cameras and family pictures EVERYWHERE, maybe just a way to keep a loved one’s life “alive”. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🌹❤️?
Funny (but gross) sidenote, I worked at a thrift store in their donation processing area for about six months back in my early 20s, and by far the most memorable/disgusting donation we ever got was a sex swing and a bunch of sex toys in a plastic garbage bag that someone had just dumped in the donation bin outside. The donor had intentionally placed the sex swing on top of the other items so we wouldn't know what it was at first. Thankfully, as policy, we all had waterproof landscaping gloves for safety reasons. We immediately dumped the sex swing and bag filled with sex toys into the dumpster. One of the girls I worked with was pissed that someone actually tried to donate that, but it also brought a good laugh that lightened the mood for the day. The most "dangerous/hazardous" item someone tried to donate (AKA, left in the donation area overnight) was an X-Ray machine, which really pissed management off, because those machines have radioactive isotopes used to generate the X-Rays. We did have a hazardous storage area away from the store, which is where we ended up rolling and dumping the machine, but management had to call a special waste removal service to properly dispose of the machine without creating a hazard.
I remember a glass jar full of bloody teeth with a few coins in there. Usually I took loose change but not that. I threw the whole thing away. They were huge damaged teeth not baby ones
oddly enough, the human skull at the thrift shop can be explained. there are places that you can buy human skulls, they're normally for those in the medical profession (even the mythbusters bought human skulls for a few episodes) and it's possible the skull was in with some donated medical equipment, judging from the plastic eye, I'm guessing it was a display piece at a medical school or lab.
you can even buy them online now. it also used to be common for people to bring them back as souvenirs, the Catacombs of Paris and other ossuaries have had issues with people taking bones home with them. I've known some people who visited Vietnam not long after the war and people who visited Cambodia after the Khmer Rouge and there were some people selling skulls dug up from mass graves.
@@Keram-io8hv I always kinda wanted a human skull ever since i was a kid and saw a doctor who had one in his office like a decoration. I'd have a hard time resisting the urge to use it like a puppet though, or pulling an "alas poor Yorick" moment.
Is it just me, or creating a town called Doveland in some random place in Wisconsin sounds really fun? Like a huge theme park - we already have merch, some cafè ideas and a history. Should be popular with tourists!
7:09 I found my grandma’s photo album at a thrift shop, along with other things of hers that had been stolen a few years ago. It was weird, as the things had no monetary value whatsoever, and it was the only things stolen from her home (I know because I was there the night her home was broken in)
It’s Delavan, Wisconsin, never was Doveland. Sometimes it’s also mistaken as “Dublin”, Wisconsin. The way it’s pronounced can sound like doveland. The people making the mistake have usually only heard the name but never needed to read it or spell it because they heard others that were familiar with it talking about the town.
That is ridiculous-- Delavan, WI is a normal town in WI. My extended family has a house on Lake Delavan. I grew up going there every summer. edit-- how naive are the many people who liked your comment.. Just google Delavan, WI. You can book a hotel room there right now...smh
@@heidih3048 he's saying that's why people thought "doveland" was a real thing because it sounded like "Delevan" no need to have a hissy fit over something you didn't even understand correctly
@@bpwnickk In the video it is stated that "Doveland" was said to be where large numbers of military families were housed there and Project Sanguine was carried out there in part. Delavan does not have these military connections. So that is why I was saying that "Doveland" is not connected to Delavan in a sense that is relevant to this video.
1. Alex is the original poster too, he played both roles. 2. How could the police determine that the person whose skull was found at a thrift store died of natural causes if they only had the skull to work with?
My guess is they just realized the skull was too old to be from any open cases. They do similar when they discover old skeletons: the cops will investigate but if the bones are over a set age, say 100 years, they'll chock it up to natural causes and close the case because the body and their potential killer would both have died from old age by then anyways.
I used to live near a vanished town. Nothing paranormal but there was a small town with a general store, church, school and several houses. All that remained when I lived there was partial foundations, even found a wrought iron antique school desk leg buried in the dirt. Sometimes towns just vanish
There was a town in IN that they evacuated and turned into a reservoir no no trace is left if you only depend on the internet for info- at least until the draughts a decade ago revealed all the leftover streets and stuff. BUT, more importantly, cant anyone just pull an old map from WI and just check? This is so ridiculous. As if google maps is the ONLY source of information. Did no one alive before 2000 ever try to find this place? Maybe visit a Library? open a book?
@@megiab fun fact: if you use Google Earth (doesnt work with Google Maps) you can look at old satellite pictures and they digitized declassified spy plane and spy satellite pictures going back a ways, the oldest pictures i've come across for my state at least (Washington) was 1961 but some places have pictures going back to the 1930s.
Back in the late 90s I needed a suit. Being a broke 19 year old, I went to the Goodwill. There I found an awesome suit which included a coat, shirt, vest, and pants all neatly hanged together in it's own hanger. It looked great. I grabbed it and took it to the dressing room. Once I got it on, I realized it had what seemed like blood stains from the neck area running down the shirt and splattered on the left pant leg. It looked like the suit had been cleaned, but the stain was still visible in bright light and it reminded me of blood. Maybe it was nothing more than a wine or juice stain but I couldn't help but feel an immediate sense of revulsion and disgust.
As a thrifter, Id say the most disturbing finds in my experience have always been diaries. A lot workers never check the inside of the notebooks donated and leave this unknown persons written thoughts for anyone who chooses to look.
I love finding mysterious items at Goodwill. I've found a lot of cool stuff. I found (on my first trip) a cookbook autographed by the woman who invented the chocolate chip cookie. Another time I found this college yearbook and there were food crumbs on every page where the former owner's picture and name was. She even had a bookmark with her name on it lol
The main problem with all of these internet rabbit holes is that it requires you to be extremely naive and to trust the word of some random stranger making crazy claims.
I'd say it's extremely uncommon to find images stored on a SIM card, or to find a SIM card within a camera, since that'd be impossible. Now, an SD card, that's another story entirely.
I also think the Doveland thing is an example of collective folklore where people add to the mythology over time until it more or less exists as an artifact of its own creation but without any actual substance or reality. Slenderman is another more famous instance where something becomes so embedded in the popular consciousness that people will believe there is more to it than there is. Now there is this unusual abandoned Army depot thing that exists near where I live in West Texas that is all fenced off with warning signs for trespassers but doesn't officially exist according to the Army. From what I've seen, the military tends to be less competent about actually hiding things when they can just deny something even in the face of overwhelming evidence. For years, the existence of Area 51 & Groom Lake wasn't officially acknowledged by the government even though everyone knew it was there.
@@Dmil2424 I'm in the El Paso area but the place I'm talking about is out in the middle of nowhere on the way to Marfa. It's not like a base or anything like that. It's just Army property with a small installation on it & probably completely decommissioned & just forgotten.
@@Kira_Martel Is that towards Marfa? Because it could be the same place. My dad was Army & he got curious about it & asked some of his friends who are still active duty & they couldn't tell him anything about it. The point I was making badly is that the government isn't very good at completely hiding things so if this town had existed, there would still be traces of it. Of course, Doveland could also be a place name or code name for an installation or something like that instead of an entire town.
I got a camera/SD card at Salvation Army that had pictures of a friend and their family on it. I remember thinking about the chances of that happening. Apparently it's a little more common than I imagined.
9:27 So that UVB 76 is connected to a Soviet project called the Dead Hand. It was an automated warning system created in the case of nuclear war. It could identify nuclear warhead and signal the nuclear launch sites in the Soviet Union. They used the radio frequencies as a place holder signal in the case they ever needed to signal the launch sites. According to most theories the Dead Hand is still active to this day.
I lived in Elizabethton, Tennessee at the time of this “Alex” story, and I’m just hearing of it for the first time. I’m actually pretty sure I know where those buildings are. There’s an abandoned factory not far off the main strip in town. I’m not about to go back there though. 😂
@@tcmcclure2323I remember that factory when it was running in the 80’s. It had a terrible sulphuric smell that stunk up the whole town. Just huge plumes of exhaust coming out of the smokestacks. Crazy to think about how things used to be ( in the good old days!)
Yeah bro, that's chilling that a sim card can hold data at all since sim cards are for cell service not data. Micro SD card/SD card is what stores data.
I had something similar to the thrift store photo thing. I went to help clean the old gymnasium at my high school after it was used for storage. When I was clearing it out I found an old picture of me and 3 of my friends on a school trip from 20 years earlier when I was 12. It was under one of the desks and it was the only picture in there. I had to go on Facebook, find my old class mates and show them what I found.
bro i’m an adult now, but your content and narration + style reminds me of old youtubers so much, i’m starting to look behind me, towards my door. we’ll fkcn played man.
UVB76 is interesting but it may be relevant to say these stations ("number stations") were kinda common during the cold war and the US had a bunch of them too, including a station that before each string of numbers would play a recording of Yosemite Sam lol UVB76 is cool because it's in use today and it has lasted a long time, but it isn't by far the weirdest one. Maybe the fact it's so rare nowadays makes it cooler.
Just gotta say that I LOVE how you just get right to the action! You don't sit and talk about everything that's going on in your life or how you're going to jump right in AFTER you're done talking! TY
Back in the 1980’s one of my teachers was also in charge of the ham radio. I remember hearing some weird sounds and at the time the teacher claimed that the Soviet Union was sending messages to scare the US citizens and the US was scrambling what they were sending. I don’t know if that was just a line of crap we had been fed or if it was something different.
If Doveland, Wisconsin, ever truly existed, it would've been one of those military towns that only exists because military personnel and their families lived there. Once the town was no longer needed, it was "packed up" and "disappeared".
subbed as soon as you said UVB 76 likely isn't as creepy or mysterious as people think-I get so sick of content creators trying to mythologize things that are already odd enough as-is. yr vids are a refreshing breath of fresh air from "or maybe it's ghosts" concluding every event lol (edit: and the "enterprising bot-users generating doveland merch as the search term was tracking" actually makes total sense too!)
10 years ago, I worked at Goodwill and I had to throw out a canister of films because they were old stag films. I had to check each reel until something obscene came up. This was the weirdest find there lol.
Darn, a lot of historians might be looking for those! A lot of old movies were considered lost and surviving copies have been found at forgotten cupboards and thrift stores. Some folks study old stag movies for historical reasons and stuff.
Yeah it happened to me too when I doing "service to the community" in a goodwill verifying old beta video cassette and other electronic equipment. It was surprising.
Numbers Stations are a well known thing. There used to be a British one broadcast from Cyprus: the Lincolnshire Poacher. Cuba was known to use them to communicate with spies in the USA, etc.
Let me say, I really appreciate you giving a real definition of the Mandela effect. Fewer and fewer people seem to understand what it really is and somehow have been led to believe their memories are *correct*
I was born in Doveland. My dad was a lieutenant in the US army. It was a small pretty normal place. We moved in the late 80’s. I haven’t heard anything about since watching this video. I figured it was still there. I’m sort of creeped out right now
I have a really bizarre and creepy story about my father. It was back in the 90's and my father of which him and my mom had been divorced since I was 5 years old and I had only seen my father about a dozen times over my life time and around the late 80's I had found out that he had been put into a retirement home and I was told where so I went up to see him and check out how he was doing. He was ok other than the fact that he said he didn't want to be there and I knew that he had always been the type of person who I thought would be like your not going to make me go anywhere that I don't want to and he could be very mean at times so I was very surprised to see him in the place to be honest. Anyway about 5 years had passed and I had not went back up there cause when I did go the one time me and him got into a big argument about the fact that he wanted me to go and get him a bottle of liquor and bring it in to him and I refused to so he got really mad and he threatened me so I left and didn't go back. Now about 5 years later my mom falls and broke her hip and after her surgery she was taken to a place where she had to do therapy and when I called to find out where she had been taken they said at the same place my dad was. So then I was like oh no!!! Because my mom and him had never spoken with each other after the divorce and she could not stand him and she would even get mad when anyone like me or my sisters to bring him up when we were talking to each other. So I thought that if she finds out that he is there she will have a fit and go crazy and want to be taken somewhere else. And I went up there as fast as possible to make sure that doesn't happen and when I got there a nurse I ask about my dad said well I am sorry to have to tell you but he had passed away last year before that. So I was like damn I don't want to say good now I don't have to worry about anything now. But around 5 more years had passed and I had not thought about that at all so one day I get a package in the mail and I open it up and I see a envelope in it and a letter of some sort. I started looking at the pictures that were in the envelope and they were all pictures of my dad and some lady that was on the beach somewhere. I looked at them and I was thinking at first these must be some of him and his girlfriend that he had a while back and they had taken the pictures when they had went on a vacation but the more I looked at them I thought that they could not be because it looked like he was older than I had ever seen and I was puzzled as to why it was like that ? So then I get the letter out and started reading it and it starts out with it being my dad and it says Ha Ha I told you that I was not going to be staying in a place like that and so I had to get out of there one way or another! And then it said you can see that I am doing well and I don't need a thing and for me not to worry about him or how he was doing. After that he said that he loved me and bye and then he just ended it just like that. I went up there after this happened and told them that he was alive and that they didn't know what they were talking about and they had let a man get away from them and didn't have a clue. They said that it was totally bizarre that I had those pictures and the letter. Then they took me into a back room and proceeded to show me his death certificate and his autopsy report and they said they had everything done by the book and they were 100% positive that he had died from a heart attack in his sleep. Afterwards I had a private eye look into the whole thing and he said that he couldn't find anything on my dad or the lady that was in the pictures with him and it was like him or the lady didn't even exist. I never heard anything back from him ever again since then and I really don't know what to think about this whole situation.
if he had money to travel unnoticed then perhaps he paid the staff or doctor. look more into this as he may also have had a friendship with someone meaning trust between him and someone there. sending a photo is clever but have it checked for fingerprints. also the envelope it was sent should be checked. remember, coincidences don't exist especially one of this magnitude.
Creepy thrift store finds sounds like a cool video you can do. I always find thrift store stuff to be very interesting. A lot of stuff you”ll come across have interesting stories, altho most of the time you need to know some amount of knowledge about the item to actually appreciate such things. I remember there was a guy who went to a thrift shop and found a photo from the late 1800’s of famous criminal Billy the Kid, which before only a single photograph of him was known to exist. Now there’s 2 existing pictures of him. And it was sitting at a thrift store all this time lol
i dont know that they were ever able to truly authenticate that. I remember the story but quit following it. maybe they did but i thought i heard they thought it was a fake
Sorry, don't believe the one about the girl finding the camera several states away that had a picture of her dad in it. You compare it to someone that found a wedding album that they were in...while that's not likely to happen, it's much more plausible that someone living in the same area was photographed at someone's wedding than it is for a girl to find selfies of her dad on a camera that someone just happened to leave in the camera hundreds of miles away (also, it's a SD / micro SD card, not a SIM card) In general, the thrift store ones are difficult for me to take seriously because it's so easy to lie.
im absolutely addicted to your videos please make more of these! the production quality is brilliant, the stories are petrifying and your voice is so soothing
I bought a book at a Goodwill about ten years ago with an original photo of Eddie Van Halen from 1978 in it. The book was a Kurt Vonnegut. No connection, totally random.
Holy shit. For the thrift store one, the Goodwill where the skull was found (Goodyear, AZ) is my local Goodwill. My house is a 5 minute drive from there. I’m currently living in Japan rn, but hearing something like that so close to my family’s home is kinda unnerving but also cool.
as someone who lives in a town that most searches can't find because of how rural and small it is, i can believe doveland existed and just isn't on any maps or anything
the thing about doveland is that the moment you mention that the earliest mention of it online is seemingly a tumblr post, that just makes me think it was a lie/a writing idea that just got out of hand. people on tumblr lied a lot back in the day and still do (granted, it happens on every website, but the ones spread around always seem to come from tumblr for some reason) and also a lot of people will do little writing projects or ideas on tumblr as if theyre fully real things, either because its fun to pretend, or because they want to see if they can trick people into believing these things. if all we have of doveland is purely peoples statements and no physical evidence (and im not counting merchandise as evidence, why would a military base from the 60s even make that?) then people could very much be remembering wrong or even inventing memories, or literally just lying to further the idea cause, again, it can be fun to do that online if its real thats a really interesting case, but i doubt it personally.
Interesting to me that the sound of the buzzer on the radio station (on the original recording) is 60 hz like North American electrical frequency. But it’s in Russia which has a 50 hz electrical frequency.
I live in upstate NY and we have a town not to far from me that was made into a reservoir. Can’t remember the town name but i heard stories from my grandfather about the town before it was underwater. I find it extremely interesting that there are these towns just under large bodies of water that unless you are from the area and heard about it you may never know it existed in the first place. Like that was peoples homes, childhood memories, schools, etc. just so weird to imagine the streets ive walked along for years being completely submerged and unrecognizable.
The small southern California town in grew up in has a lake for camping boating etc, also a water supply. Apparently it was built over a tiny town and old school that for some reason got abandoned. Alot of activity in the area , but even if it wasn't it's kinda creeper to think of it
Same! I would like to know where it is supposedly located so I can ask people I know if they've heard of it, because I know people who have been all over WI and would know lol
I’m from Minnesota, but have traveled to and throughout Wisconsin many times as my parents are from there and many family members of mine still live there. I’ve never heard of Doveland either. I might ask around about it when I see my relatives during Christmas.
I’ve lived in Wisconsin all my life and there’s a LOT of places in Wisconsin that I’ve never heard of. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist, just that I’ve never heard of them.
My brother was in goodwill thrift shop the other day and he literally bought a huge bag of weed, seeds, pipes, and other paraphernalia. Yes, you can find anything in these places. Im thinking someone passed and the family just donated all their items to the shop, not even knowing this was incuded. Yikes.
UVB 76 station: make sure if you go take a torch, 'cos it's really dark - narrated over a photograph taken by the blogger of a locker room with the electric power on and the overhead light blazing .... 🤔
Time 18:24 That’s Ingrid Bergman. One of the most famous actresses in all of cinematic history. IIsa Lund as you call her, is a fictitious name of a character in the film.
I grew up partly in doveland. My dad was in the airforce. I don’t know nothing about top secret stuff. Seemed like a normal town but I was a kid. We lived there from when I was 8-11. We moved a lot. It probably became a ghost town and they destroyed it. I don’t know what work my dad there but he was an engineer. It was definitely real. What’s weird is we never traveled outside to neighboring cities though. So that was odd but my dad worked a lot so we didn’t travel much anyway. We moved from there to a city called Dayton Ohio or wright Patterson.
I love UVB 76! A bunch of fellow software engineers were posting online what kinds of things they liked to listen to while they coded, and several people said UVB 76. I find that droning sound to be quite soothing.
@@eepinwillowHa! I was listening a couple times when they broadcast actual messages and it was surprising... I did not want my BZZZZ taken away. 😆 I'll have to try the TRON Legacy soundtrack at some point. Always good to hear from a fellow coder.
I have another theory about Doveland. I say this with absolutely no education or experience on the subject, but I've heard of similar cases where some people remember a location by one name, but others have never heard of that name before. It's possible 'Doveland' is a portmanteau (combination of words) of another town, region, or identifying feature and not the actual, official name of a town. Although most slang names do end up becoming officially recognized, such as SoHo, Delmarva, or Texarkana, it's possible that a regional identifier used among the locals of a small town would not have been well-known outside the town itself, and therefore not recorded. I looked up towns and counties in Wisconsin, and there is a Dairyland, Wisconsin, which is a very small town of population 211 in the county of Douglas way up in the northwest corner of the state. In my mind, it's possible that a nearby settlement that may not have been large enough to officially be recognized as a town may have taken the names of the county of DOUGlas and the town of DairyLAND and combined them--which, if you were to call your settlement Dougland may be misinterpreted or amended to 'Doveland', for instance--in much the same way Delmarva is the area east of the Chesapeake Bay that is part Delaware, part Maryland, and part Virginia. I never want to believe in the Mandela effect because it's kind of a horrifying thing to think that a large percentage of a population can misremember something, but it is a very real thing and definitely a possible explanation as well.
5:47 as someone who works at a thrift store. The amount if knives we find while "grading" (checking clothes for holes, smell, and quality) one of my coworkers found an unloaded pistol and bullets for it in a box. He didnt touch it with his hands he told our team lead and they called the police just in case it was used at some point for a crime. It wasnt, just accidentally donated but is now property if the police. And hes also found a sword and a cane with a hidden dagger in the handle. Its honestly crazy what we will end up finding. When i was training i guess one of our other stores had a box of feces donated. Youre right though, not everything gets checked before being sent to our stores from warehouses. But donations can be made directly to our stores as well
About those pictures that were found in albums/cameras. There was a time when a friend of my sister went to a local goodwill and found my sisters photograph in a frame. My sister didn’t know how goodwill got the photo or how it had even been taken.
You, Nick Crowley and Nexpo have the same voice, that's soooo disturbing. But I loooooove it because it's so calming and videos subjects are my favorite type of content. (Still disturbing tho)
That is no claw. I used to work in forensics. That is a mummified human hand with tendons that went into a state of flexion (contracture position) as a result of the tendons and tissues losing all their water content and thus contracting, after death. The fingernails appear longer because the surrounding tissues have dried up and retracted, causing the appearance of long fingernails.
UVB is part of an emergency broadcast system. US had a similar system way back (car radios even came with dedicated buttons for these stations) and Russia has maintained theirs since the cold war. Its purpose is to maintain communication across the country in the event of a disaster when other forms of communication are unavailable (i.e. nuclear war). Its not a secret, its actually meant for the public. Long ago I saw a picture for its receiver, it had the full description on it in Russian for what its use is. It makes zero sense for "spies" to use open radio for communication in the 21st century (or ever for that matter) when even regular consumer grade systems are encrypted and scrambled, indistinguishable from background noise. It would pose no difficulty for anyone, even a regular Joe, to jam the signal locally. Buzzing means the station is active and yes it keeps the frequency free, it also lets the listener know their equipment is working if they receive the buzzing tone as opposed to static or nothing. The interruptions are pretty routine and the messages meaningless and merely constitute a test. The reason this station can be picked up easily is because its located in the western parts of Russia, close to Europe. Similar stations exist in other parts of Russia serving the exact same purpose.
7:43 I used to manage a charity shop(thrift shop) back in 2014, Not sure how common knowledge this is to people who have never worked in one but allot of the time stock is "rotated" from other stores across the city and country. so it's entirely possible that her dad donated that camera in Idaho where it never sold, and it got rotated to the same store in Arizona where she just so happened to like it. the chances of that are insane but honestly it wouldn't be the first time something crazy impossible has happened... especially when you hear the story of the 3 triplet brothers.
I love how you tell the stories and not try to sell them as something real when it is not. That’s hard to find, specially when people talk about web series like ash vlogs or alan tutorials. Most of the guys that talk about them, skip the fact that it is an arg (I think thats the name) and sell it as a real story.
Concerning Doveland: why not look up old maps or the Internet archive? 😅 I kinda think that would clear things quickly, because apparently the town wasn't a secret location
I’m saying the same thing because in every town they usually do a census check every 10 years they even have records and documents of the town and if you were to look at it on an old map from 40 years ago, it should show up but it was a military town which means I could be a top-secret town, but even then it would still show up on a map of some sort
A military “pop-up” town wouldn’t necessarily be placed on a map - especially if it wasn’t permanent. Not even all military installations will appear on public maps - and it doesn’t even have to be “top secret”. It probably wasn’t even considered a permanent “town” but an installation.
Interestingly, there is a town in Wisconsin called "Delevan" Wisconsin, which is eerily similar in name. My guess is that people were talking about that town instead.
Just Googled Doveland Wisconsin and it seems like that town never existed while there is Delevan Wisconsin. People most likely misremembered Delevan for Doveland.
Regarding the first story, I was born in 1971 in and have lived most of my life in the town neighboring Elizabethton, TN. There was nothing. That area, though appearing very rundown had a fair amount of traffic. Most of the buildings being abandoned, there were still a few being used as seen by the cars in the photos, and considering nothing on the local news about this I'm extremely skeptical of the validity, but also appreciative of the telling. Thanks from a native for your narration.
My take on Alex from Tennessee is that the original poster wanted to start a creepy ARG with a real-world-location component, got frustrated because no-one wanted to participate (understandably, that's the kind of decision that starts a slasher film), so made a sock puppet account and 'found' the prize himself.
That’s a fantastic theory, lol

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless!
And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved!
1. Believe that God sent His Son
(Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later.
2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you!
3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever.
4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever.
I'm Praying for you and you are loved

Seriously I get really irked by some content creators who just instantly accept every story like it’s gospel and are just like “yep the demon baby really did kill the family isnt that crazy guys 😱 “ without any hesitation or thought lol
Can you tell me what internet rabbit holes means??
He’s literally leeching and copying off mr nightmare…
Someone probably said it, but I really like how you add a sense of "realness" to these stories. I know that most other horror creators would say that certain events, like Doveland, where "real and unexplainable", but I like that you try not to lead your audience into a lie , and actually give them facts and evidence 🙂
Personally some facts make it scarier or just 10x more interesting
The moment you said that the first mention of Doveland you could find was on a Tumblr post it immediately set off an alarm for me. Idk how familiar you are with the site but Tumblr has a whole culture around inventing fake stories for entertainment. The most famous example of this is the 1973 Martin Scorsese mafia film Goncharov which even got an IMDB page and Scorsese himself confirmed its existence despite the movie being entirely made up by Tumblr users. My point is, if the first mention of Doveland really is on Tumblr, I would bet real money that OP just made it up and just like Goncharov it spread beyond Tumblr because it's a genuinely interesting concept.
This is true, but tumblr is also known to have genuine stories that did occur. Granted, I've only ever seen wholesome encounter stories and interesting historical facts, but it doesn't immediately rule out the story as unreliable.
Also, the Goncharov thing was just a running gag that everyone on the site was in on.
the reason to me that alarm bells are ringing is the project sanguine itself. ELF is so low energy that it's wavelength is like 100,000 to 10,000 kilometers, there is no accident that could cause the removal of an entire town. the conspiracy is easy to believe due to pop culture's view of the military and general lack of knowledge regarding physics. It kind of plays in to this pseudoscientific notion that non-ionizing radiation especially such low energy radiation is harmful or biologically significant... it isn't. it has the power of like 12.4 femtovolts? to put that in perspective, a microvolt is 1 billion times more energetic.
Wait im so confused, why would he confirm it if it never existed?
@@SuperJediTurtle he like a ton of people were in on the meme, at the very least his daughter was, so he either played along, or his daughter invented screenshot.
it became kind of a semi-viral thing that was played in to by a number of people.
@@ExarchGaming ahh I see, thanks for explaining!
I'm always highly suspicious of people who found something that's easy to fake and then they never give any update about it after the initial post.
I don't know, that photo definitely looks real, looks exactly like how a lot of old photos of my dad in the 80s looked hopefully it's just a bunch of drunk men doing dumbass drunk men stuff lol or just replicating a movie.

The skull in the donations box at 9:10 is pretty explainable.
Back in the day, archaeologists were allowed to take their work home, including artifacts and bones. They didn't always get returned. I unfortunately know this from experience. Recently, there was an old archaeologist how passed in my general area. In his garage were dozens of boxes full of old government documents, artifacts and both animal and human bones, a vast majority of which were completely unlabeled. I know one of the archaeologists who was brought in to sort through everything. It's been several month and they're still sorting through his garage.
If I had to bet, that'd be my guess, and the owner or whoever donated it may've just thrown the box into the donate pile without digging through it. That doesn't make it any less dark or alarming though.
My question is how do you determine cause of death from a skull alone? Especially if it was natural cause?
@@dallywang6143 I assume the skull was matched to a known natural death or was dated to be decisively too old to be connected to any relevant cases, and they concluded based on lack of extraordinary damage.
it also used to be legal to bring human remains back from vacation as souvenirs, there were times and places where people even sold skulls dug up from mass graves as souvenirs of massacres and wars. A lot of soldiers snuck them back home after war too. You can also legally buy real human skulls online as medical models, but they're really expensive.
@@dallywang6143
Thank you! That was my first thought too.
@@ContraryASMRI think that is inaccurate and if it was true that's very irresponsible... "Oh, well the skull dates to about 1932 so it's not relevant enough to care about what could've actually happened, let's just go with natural causes"

On a lighter note, I once found money in a pair of pants at a Thrift store. I left the money in the pants hoping that a less fortunate guy would buy the pants and find the money when he got home. A few years later I found $350 in an empty aisle at a grocery store. I said "Thank you God!". But I felt guilty so I told my wife who was with me. She said that I had find the owner. I cautiously asked a few shoppers if they'd lost money. I even asked a cashier. She said that she would hold it for me. No thank you. I actually found the owner, a little old lady who was crying at a check out line with an empty Bank envelope. A different cashier was trying to comfort her. I knew this was the owner. I said "Ma'am did you lose this money?" I just handed it to her and walked away.
Haha, instantly put me in a better mood. Thanks.
You're so kind
God bless you for finding the money’s rightful owner, and ensuring she got it back. I can’t imagine how heartbroken she felt thinking it was lost for good.
And then everyone stood around and applauded and you got the key to the city?
did everyone clap after
Doveland could have been the name of the actual military housing neighborhood, not the town itself. I was a military kid and we lived in some military housing communities that had their own name some of which could have been mistaken for the name of a town. For example we lived in a navy housing subdivision called Victory Terrace, one called Gold Coast, one called Weary. None of those were cities even though some can feel big enough to be like a hamlet. A lot of older military housing was poorly maintained and much was demolished in the 80s and 90s and later contracted out to civillian companies. I bet Doveland was a small neighborhood of military familg housing inside of a smaller town around there. These places sometime have their own schools, community centers, playgrounds, clinics, convenience stores, etc.
You mean they blend in with regular towns? Yeah, that's a disturbing rabbit hole in and of itself.
@highstrangeness1824 what is weird about that? No different than any large gated community. Many private neighborhoods have extra amenities. Doveland being a military family housing, it would a little bit more than the average private neighborhood such as commissary, base exchange, convenience store/gas station, even their own schools. The military has its own agencies that administer these services on bases such as AAFES (they run the stores and gas stations on army and air force bases) or DoDea who runs k-12 public schools but on some military installations. It's just a military base. Some are smaller than others. When the operation is done, all of it goes eventually. It's not privately owned so when the buildings decay and the land goes back to the state, the housing community vanishes into history. I lived on a TINY military base in Germany that had only 800 soldiers and their families. We had our own elementary, commissary, post exange, teen center, day care, library church etc.
Exactly what I was thinking. There's several names for sections in my already small town that you wouldn't find on any map or atlas
I was in the military. The base had housing, schools, parks, a golf course, a movie theatre, etc... It's like a city inside a city.
I looked it up on maps and a town called exe-land Wisconsin comes up so I’m thinking that’s the town name now

I am one of the few people who actually knows the story behind the Alex from Tennessee thread. I was born and raised in Elizabethton and during the last few years of high school. One of my teachers and I were talking about his daughter getting hundreds of thousands of viewers streaming the end of Club Penguin. Shortly after he casually dropped that his brother was the OP and that he did it as a prank and that it got sort of popular. I'm not quite sure that neither him or OP entirely understand the impact the post made or how it is an iconic piece of the internet. There is not a large amount of people who actually know, just mostly acquaintances of OP and his brother.
Was his brother also Alex, or was it just some random who decided to play along?

My husband and i were on Vacation in a different state than were we live. We decided to stop at a thrift store. I saw this porcelain doll on a shelf and said "ewww i had that exact doll. It creeped me out so my mom sold it at a yard sale" this dolls color is ash grey. Like a dead person. And her dress is brown. My husband picked it up and said "who would make a childs doll look like this. I grabbed it and lifted her dress to show him the fabric body was the same creepy grey and i almost dropped her. IT WAS MY DOLL!! I wrote my name on her in green marker when i was like 7. I had to buy her. I told the store owner the story and showed her my ID. She just gave her to me. My mom got me that and she passed a few years before this. She always felt bad because it used to scare me. The thrift store owner was convinced my mom somehow made this happen from the spirit world. I just thought it was a really really crazy situation 🤷
a different state is so wild... so glad you found her !! thats so wonderful so amazing ❤

Couldn't we just find out if Doveland existed by pulling an old Atlas? An old Almanac? Encyclopedia? There was literature before the internet lol

The dude in the video says "Tumbler" and 2015 is the oldest information he could gather on that town.
The government keeps detailed records of all these towns . Especially the BLM and the Wildlife service.
Black Lives Matter? @@user-du4ky2fy7q
there's a possibility it was never an actual town, but instead a pop-up town. pop-up towns are quick built towns set up in the middle of nowhere to house military personnel and possibly their families while they are working on a project. when the project is either done or cancelled the town is either abandoned or torn down. one of these abandoned towns is (or at least was) in san fransisco, it was used in a few episodes of mythbusters when they needed a neighborhood for some of their driving myths. so the pop-up town coulda been called doveland and once project sanguine was shuttered the town was torn down, and because it was never an official town, it would've never been on any map.
No evidence that it ever existed is evidence that it never existed.
The really disturbing thing about that first one is that the “clawed hand” looked to me more like the remains of a human hand with the flesh starting to recede from the bone. The discoloration and shriveling of soft tissue is consistent with mummification. It doesn’t prove the poster was responsible for that but it does show they had access to photos of someone who was in that state. Pretty wide range of possibilities after that… everything from them being a student studying forensics, medicine or anthropology to them being an actual killer or someone who found a body and was just cracked enough to take a bunch of photos for their own use. Who knows?
I’d venture a guess the picture is fake and/or completely unrelated. It looks to be in a completely different environment than the pics that “Alex” took (in broad daylight in a grassy area). The hand looks human-esque but the bones do not look human. Phalanges are pointed and bumpy (knuckles). Those appear blunt at the end. Also, there’s wiry hair that looks more consistent with an animal than human body hair.
The whole thing screams a lame attempt at an ARG.
It definitely looks like a raccoon paw.
It’s a piece of a tree.
It is mummified, but Its a raccoon. They have very specific looking thumbs and claw shape
i used to think it was a human hand when i was younger, but if you take a closer look at the image the scale just doesn't make sense. look at how large the clover leaves and blades of grass are in comparison to the hand. if this was a human hand, it would have to be a baby's. raccoons have paws that are very similar in structure to human hands (all things considered) and much more consistent with this hand's apparent size. it's much more likely it's just a dead raccoon
The first story had me shook bc I only live thirty minutes away from there 💀
MY DAD LIVES THERE💀💀💀
Did you visit the location?
Have you ever been there ?
@WM5000-ek9nk No I haven't, I was younger when it happened. I might go soon though.

The creepiest thing I ever found was a bunch of Victorian death photos . I gave them to a friend who worked at a museum.
Those old pictures are creepy as hell. I can’t even explain why they are so disturbing but they are .. as are the older black and white photos of Halloween costumes from the 60s
You know people will pay big money for those if they can confirm they people are actually dead.
Yes, I could never understand the reason for death photos, either……it is creepy, especially if the eyes are open! BUT, in days of not having cameras and family pictures EVERYWHERE, maybe just a way to keep a loved one’s life “alive”. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🌹❤️?
@leslieschott754 I think that is why they did too. It is still very creepy though
Dude, these stories are the best! Keep on posting, Chilling Scares!
Nice
Funny (but gross) sidenote, I worked at a thrift store in their donation processing area for about six months back in my early 20s, and by far the most memorable/disgusting donation we ever got was a sex swing and a bunch of sex toys in a plastic garbage bag that someone had just dumped in the donation bin outside. The donor had intentionally placed the sex swing on top of the other items so we wouldn't know what it was at first. Thankfully, as policy, we all had waterproof landscaping gloves for safety reasons. We immediately dumped the sex swing and bag filled with sex toys into the dumpster. One of the girls I worked with was pissed that someone actually tried to donate that, but it also brought a good laugh that lightened the mood for the day.
The most "dangerous/hazardous" item someone tried to donate (AKA, left in the donation area overnight) was an X-Ray machine, which really pissed management off, because those machines have radioactive isotopes used to generate the X-Rays. We did have a hazardous storage area away from the store, which is where we ended up rolling and dumping the machine, but management had to call a special waste removal service to properly dispose of the machine without creating a hazard.
I found a couple sex toys too, damn old lady’s.
Cool 😎
I remember a glass jar full of bloody teeth with a few coins in there. Usually I took loose change but not that. I threw the whole thing away. They were huge damaged teeth not baby ones

@@adadove6380 Donation from the "tooth fairy".
oddly enough, the human skull at the thrift shop can be explained. there are places that you can buy human skulls, they're normally for those in the medical profession (even the mythbusters bought human skulls for a few episodes) and it's possible the skull was in with some donated medical equipment, judging from the plastic eye, I'm guessing it was a display piece at a medical school or lab.
good observation
you can even buy them online now. it also used to be common for people to bring them back as souvenirs, the Catacombs of Paris and other ossuaries have had issues with people taking bones home with them. I've known some people who visited Vietnam not long after the war and people who visited Cambodia after the Khmer Rouge and there were some people selling skulls dug up from mass graves.
Yeah they are, my cousin has one (doctor)
@@Keram-io8hv I always kinda wanted a human skull ever since i was a kid and saw a doctor who had one in his office like a decoration. I'd have a hard time resisting the urge to use it like a puppet though, or pulling an "alas poor Yorick" moment.

Is it just me, or creating a town called Doveland in some random place in Wisconsin sounds really fun? Like a huge theme park - we already have merch, some cafè ideas and a history. Should be popular with tourists!
It’s not a bad idea for a themed thing. Something like Omega mart but for a little town.
Even make a fake military station in the area
7:09 I found my grandma’s photo album at a thrift shop, along with other things of hers that had been stolen a few years ago. It was weird, as the things had no monetary value whatsoever, and it was the only things stolen from her home (I know because I was there the night her home was broken in)
It’s Delavan, Wisconsin, never was Doveland. Sometimes it’s also mistaken as “Dublin”, Wisconsin. The way it’s pronounced can sound like doveland. The people making the mistake have usually only heard the name but never needed to read it or spell it because they heard others that were familiar with it talking about the town.
That is ridiculous-- Delavan, WI is a normal town in WI. My extended family has a house on Lake Delavan. I grew up going there every summer.
edit-- how naive are the many people who liked your comment.. Just google Delavan, WI. You can book a hotel room there right now...smh
Doveland is now the Town of Exeland past Eau Claire Wisconsin.
@@heidih3048 he's saying that's why people thought "doveland" was a real thing because it sounded like "Delevan" no need to have a hissy fit over something you didn't even understand correctly
@@heidih3048 you should learn to read.
@@bpwnickk In the video it is stated that "Doveland" was said to be where large numbers of military families were housed there and Project Sanguine was carried out there in part. Delavan does not have these military connections. So that is why I was saying that "Doveland" is not connected to Delavan in a sense that is relevant to this video.
1. Alex is the original poster too, he played both roles.
2. How could the police determine that the person whose skull was found at a thrift store died of natural causes if they only had the skull to work with?
I was thinking the same thing on both of your comments
for point 2, maybe took a dna sample and found the person died of old age?
My guess is they just realized the skull was too old to be from any open cases. They do similar when they discover old skeletons: the cops will investigate but if the bones are over a set age, say 100 years, they'll chock it up to natural causes and close the case because the body and their potential killer would both have died from old age by then anyways.
That's what I was wondering 🤔
You can't live without a skull. I'd say that was death by natural causes.
I used to live near a vanished town. Nothing paranormal but there was a small town with a general store, church, school and several houses. All that remained when I lived there was partial foundations, even found a wrought iron antique school desk leg buried in the dirt. Sometimes towns just vanish
where is that
@@Akrafena Centralia, Pennsylvania.
i think you're confusing ":vanished" with "abandoned".
There was a town in IN that they evacuated and turned into a reservoir no no trace is left if you only depend on the internet for info- at least until the draughts a decade ago revealed all the leftover streets and stuff. BUT, more importantly, cant anyone just pull an old map from WI and just check? This is so ridiculous. As if google maps is the ONLY source of information. Did no one alive before 2000 ever try to find this place? Maybe visit a Library? open a book?
@@megiab fun fact: if you use Google Earth (doesnt work with Google Maps) you can look at old satellite pictures and they digitized declassified spy plane and spy satellite pictures going back a ways, the oldest pictures i've come across for my state at least (Washington) was 1961 but some places have pictures going back to the 1930s.
Back in the late 90s I needed a suit. Being a broke 19 year old, I went to the Goodwill. There I found an awesome suit which included a coat, shirt, vest, and pants all neatly hanged together in it's own hanger. It looked great. I grabbed it and took it to the dressing room. Once I got it on, I realized it had what seemed like blood stains from the neck area running down the shirt and splattered on the left pant leg. It looked like the suit had been cleaned, but the stain was still visible in bright light and it reminded me of blood. Maybe it was nothing more than a wine or juice stain but I couldn't help but feel an immediate sense of revulsion and disgust.
As a thrifter, Id say the most disturbing finds in my experience have always been diaries. A lot workers never check the inside of the notebooks donated and leave this unknown persons written thoughts for anyone who chooses to look.
I love finding mysterious items at Goodwill. I've found a lot of cool stuff. I found (on my first trip) a cookbook autographed by the woman who invented the chocolate chip cookie. Another time I found this college yearbook and there were food crumbs on every page where the former owner's picture and name was. She even had a bookmark with her name on it lol
That could be worth money that cookbook signature maybe not now but in the future
Ruth Wakefield?
Yep! It was a Christmas gift to someone she knew@@Timbo6669
Yes. I idn't even know who she was. I just thought it was smart to buy the book with the autograph in it lol@@Timbo6669

Bro you made it sound as a "creepiest mysteries finally solved" story
The main problem with all of these internet rabbit holes is that it requires you to be extremely naive and to trust the word of some random stranger making crazy claims.
You mean you don't believe an entire town dissapeared and/Or most people switched to a reality where it never existed?
I'd say it's extremely uncommon to find images stored on a SIM card, or to find a SIM card within a camera, since that'd be impossible. Now, an SD card, that's another story entirely.
0:59 “it could be a leprechaun. Or a crack head got hold of the wrong stuff.” 💀
I would think a creepy thrift finds would be a good video for you to do! I always love your content.
Seconded!
Yup
I agree
I also think the Doveland thing is an example of collective folklore where people add to the mythology over time until it more or less exists as an artifact of its own creation but without any actual substance or reality. Slenderman is another more famous instance where something becomes so embedded in the popular consciousness that people will believe there is more to it than there is.
Now there is this unusual abandoned Army depot thing that exists near where I live in West Texas that is all fenced off with warning signs for trespassers but doesn't officially exist according to the Army. From what I've seen, the military tends to be less competent about actually hiding things when they can just deny something even in the face of overwhelming evidence. For years, the existence of Area 51 & Groom Lake wasn't officially acknowledged by the government even though everyone knew it was there.
What town in Texas are you in?
@@Dmil2424
I'm in the El Paso area but the place I'm talking about is out in the middle of nowhere on the way to Marfa.
It's not like a base or anything like that. It's just Army property with a small installation on it & probably completely decommissioned & just forgotten.
@@ashleybrooke2087Is this out by the old WWII army air field that's been decommissioned?
@@Kira_Martel
Is that towards Marfa? Because it could be the same place. My dad was Army & he got curious about it & asked some of his friends who are still active duty & they couldn't tell him anything about it.
The point I was making badly is that the government isn't very good at completely hiding things so if this town had existed, there would still be traces of it.
Of course, Doveland could also be a place name or code name for an installation or something like that instead of an entire town.
@@ashleybrooke2087 Yeah, it's between Van Horn and Marfa on the 90. There's almost nothing left there anymore except the overgrown runways.
How cracked does someone have to be to donate a human skull to Goodwill? 🤨
People take all their junk to these places. Maybe didn't even know it was there.
I got a camera/SD card at Salvation Army that had pictures of a friend and their family on it. I remember thinking about the chances of that happening. Apparently it's a little more common than I imagined.
9:27 So that UVB 76 is connected to a Soviet project called the Dead Hand. It was an automated warning system created in the case of nuclear war. It could identify nuclear warhead and signal the nuclear launch sites in the Soviet Union. They used the radio frequencies as a place holder signal in the case they ever needed to signal the launch sites. According to most theories the Dead Hand is still active to this day.
I lived in Elizabethton, Tennessee at the time of this “Alex” story, and I’m just hearing of it for the first time. I’m actually pretty sure I know where those buildings are. There’s an abandoned factory not far off the main strip in town. I’m not about to go back there though. 😂

@@tcmcclure2323I remember that factory when it was running in the 80’s. It had a terrible sulphuric smell that stunk up the whole town. Just huge plumes of exhaust coming out of the smokestacks. Crazy to think about how things used to be ( in the good old days!)
Yeah bro, that's chilling that a sim card can hold data at all since sim cards are for cell service not data. Micro SD card/SD card is what stores data.

Yeah no they can or more accurately did store some other data as well in the past
I had something similar to the thrift store photo thing. I went to help clean the old gymnasium at my high school after it was used for storage. When I was clearing it out I found an old picture of me and 3 of my friends on a school trip from 20 years earlier when I was 12. It was under one of the desks and it was the only picture in there. I had to go on Facebook, find my old class mates and show them what I found.
And what else happened?

UVB76 is interesting but it may be relevant to say these stations ("number stations") were kinda common during the cold war and the US had a bunch of them too, including a station that before each string of numbers would play a recording of Yosemite Sam lol
UVB76 is cool because it's in use today and it has lasted a long time, but it isn't by far the weirdest one. Maybe the fact it's so rare nowadays makes it cooler.
Just gotta say that I LOVE how you just get right to the action! You don't sit and talk about everything that's going on in your life or how you're going to jump right in AFTER you're done talking! TY
Back in the 1980’s one of my teachers was also in charge of the ham radio. I remember hearing some weird sounds and at the time the teacher claimed that the Soviet Union was sending messages to scare the US citizens and the US was scrambling what they were sending. I don’t know if that was just a line of crap we had been fed or if it was something different.
If Doveland, Wisconsin, ever truly existed, it would've been one of those military towns that only exists because military personnel and their families lived there. Once the town was no longer needed, it was "packed up" and "disappeared".
A comment above said she grew up their and her dad was in navy so makes sense
I doubt it ever existed or "Doveland" was a nickname, rather than any official name.
subbed as soon as you said UVB 76 likely isn't as creepy or mysterious as people think-I get so sick of content creators trying to mythologize things that are already odd enough as-is. yr vids are a refreshing breath of fresh air from "or maybe it's ghosts" concluding every event lol (edit: and the "enterprising bot-users generating doveland merch as the search term was tracking" actually makes total sense too!)
10 years ago, I worked at Goodwill and I had to throw out a canister of films because they were old stag films. I had to check each reel until something obscene came up. This was the weirdest find there lol.
Darn, a lot of historians might be looking for those! A lot of old movies were considered lost and surviving copies have been found at forgotten cupboards and thrift stores. Some folks study old stag movies for historical reasons and stuff.
Yeah it happened to me too when I doing "service to the community" in a goodwill verifying old beta video cassette and other electronic equipment. It was surprising.
What are stag films?
Vintage pornography, essentially.

I have a really bizarre and creepy story about my father. It was back in the 90's and my father of which him and my mom had been divorced since I was 5 years old and I had only seen my father about a dozen times over my life time and around the late 80's I had found out that he had been put into a retirement home and I was told where so I went up to see him and check out how he was doing. He was ok other than the fact that he said he didn't want to be there and I knew that he had always been the type of person who I thought would be like your not going to make me go anywhere that I don't want to and he could be very mean at times so I was very surprised to see him in the place to be honest. Anyway about 5 years had passed and I had not went back up there cause when I did go the one time me and him got into a big argument about the fact that he wanted me to go and get him a bottle of liquor and bring it in to him and I refused to so he got really mad and he threatened me so I left and didn't go back. Now about 5 years later my mom falls and broke her hip and after her surgery she was taken to a place where she had to do therapy and when I called to find out where she had been taken they said at the same place my dad was. So then I was like oh no!!! Because my mom and him had never spoken with each other after the divorce and she could not stand him and she would even get mad when anyone like me or my sisters to bring him up when we were talking to each other. So I thought that if she finds out that he is there she will have a fit and go crazy and want to be taken somewhere else. And I went up there as fast as possible to make sure that doesn't happen and when I got there a nurse I ask about my dad said well I am sorry to have to tell you but he had passed away last year before that. So I was like damn I don't want to say good now I don't have to worry about anything now. But around 5 more years had passed and I had not thought about that at all so one day I get a package in the mail and I open it up and I see a envelope in it and a letter of some sort. I started looking at the pictures that were in the envelope and they were all pictures of my dad and some lady that was on the beach somewhere. I looked at them and I was thinking at first these must be some of him and his girlfriend that he had a while back and they had taken the pictures when they had went on a vacation but the more I looked at them I thought that they could not be because it looked like he was older than I had ever seen and I was puzzled as to why it was like that ? So then I get the letter out and started reading it and it starts out with it being my dad and it says Ha Ha I told you that I was not going to be staying in a place like that and so I had to get out of there one way or another! And then it said you can see that I am doing well and I don't need a thing and for me not to worry about him or how he was doing. After that he said that he loved me and bye and then he just ended it just like that. I went up there after this happened and told them that he was alive and that they didn't know what they were talking about and they had let a man get away from them and didn't have a clue.
They said that it was totally bizarre that I had those pictures and the letter. Then they took me into a back room and proceeded to show me his death certificate and his autopsy
report and they said they had everything done by the book and they were 100% positive that he had died from a heart attack in his sleep. Afterwards I had a private eye look into the whole thing and he said that he couldn't find anything on my dad or the lady that was in the pictures with him and it was like him or the lady didn't even exist. I never heard anything back from him ever again since then and I really don't know what to think about this whole situation.
Damn man. Thats fuckin crazy
That’s insane, but death certificates are kind of hard to fake lol
if he had money to travel unnoticed then perhaps he paid the staff or doctor. look more into this as he may also have had a friendship with someone meaning trust between him and someone there. sending a photo is clever but have it checked for fingerprints. also the envelope it was sent should be checked. remember, coincidences don't exist especially one of this magnitude.
My god that was really long to read
Lord have mercy
Creepy thrift store finds sounds like a cool video you can do. I always find thrift store stuff to be very interesting. A lot of stuff you”ll come across have interesting stories, altho most of the time you need to know some amount of knowledge about the item to actually appreciate such things.
I remember there was a guy who went to a thrift shop and found a photo from the late 1800’s of famous criminal Billy the Kid, which before only a single photograph of him was known to exist. Now there’s 2 existing pictures of him. And it was sitting at a thrift store all this time lol
i dont know that they were ever able to truly authenticate that. I remember the story but quit following it. maybe they did but i thought i heard they thought it was a fake
Sorry, don't believe the one about the girl finding the camera several states away that had a picture of her dad in it. You compare it to someone that found a wedding album that they were in...while that's not likely to happen, it's much more plausible that someone living in the same area was photographed at someone's wedding than it is for a girl to find selfies of her dad on a camera that someone just happened to leave in the camera hundreds of miles away (also, it's a SD / micro SD card, not a SIM card)
In general, the thrift store ones are difficult for me to take seriously because it's so easy to lie.

the thing about doveland is that the moment you mention that the earliest mention of it online is seemingly a tumblr post, that just makes me think it was a lie/a writing idea that just got out of hand. people on tumblr lied a lot back in the day and still do (granted, it happens on every website, but the ones spread around always seem to come from tumblr for some reason) and also a lot of people will do little writing projects or ideas on tumblr as if theyre fully real things, either because its fun to pretend, or because they want to see if they can trick people into believing these things. if all we have of doveland is purely peoples statements and no physical evidence (and im not counting merchandise as evidence, why would a military base from the 60s even make that?) then people could very much be remembering wrong or even inventing memories, or literally just lying to further the idea cause, again, it can be fun to do that online
if its real thats a really interesting case, but i doubt it personally.

I live in upstate NY and we have a town not to far from me that was made into a reservoir. Can’t remember the town name but i heard stories from my grandfather about the town before it was underwater. I find it extremely interesting that there are these towns just under large bodies of water that unless you are from the area and heard about it you may never know it existed in the first place. Like that was peoples homes, childhood memories, schools, etc. just so weird to imagine the streets ive walked along for years being completely submerged and unrecognizable.

Can’t remember the towns name, but I believe the reservoir you’re referencing is Sacandaga lake?
The small southern California town in grew up in has a lake for camping boating etc, also a water supply. Apparently it was built over a tiny town and old school that for some reason got abandoned. Alot of activity in the area , but even if it wasn't it's kinda creeper to think of it

I grew up partly in doveland. My dad was in the airforce. I don’t know nothing about top secret stuff. Seemed like a normal town but I was a kid. We lived there from when I was 8-11. We moved a lot. It probably became a ghost town and they destroyed it. I don’t know what work my dad there but he was an engineer. It was definitely real. What’s weird is we never traveled outside to neighboring cities though. So that was odd but my dad worked a lot so we didn’t travel much anyway. We moved from there to a city called Dayton Ohio or wright Patterson.

Actually genuinely never heard of Doveland... thanks for another great video!
I have another theory about Doveland. I say this with absolutely no education or experience on the subject, but I've heard of similar cases where some people remember a location by one name, but others have never heard of that name before. It's possible 'Doveland' is a portmanteau (combination of words) of another town, region, or identifying feature and not the actual, official name of a town. Although most slang names do end up becoming officially recognized, such as SoHo, Delmarva, or Texarkana, it's possible that a regional identifier used among the locals of a small town would not have been well-known outside the town itself, and therefore not recorded. I looked up towns and counties in Wisconsin, and there is a Dairyland, Wisconsin, which is a very small town of population 211 in the county of Douglas way up in the northwest corner of the state. In my mind, it's possible that a nearby settlement that may not have been large enough to officially be recognized as a town may have taken the names of the county of DOUGlas and the town of DairyLAND and combined them--which, if you were to call your settlement Dougland may be misinterpreted or amended to 'Doveland', for instance--in much the same way Delmarva is the area east of the Chesapeake Bay that is part Delaware, part Maryland, and part Virginia.
I never want to believe in the Mandela effect because it's kind of a horrifying thing to think that a large percentage of a population can misremember something, but it is a very real thing and definitely a possible explanation as well.

He didnt touch it with his hands he told our team lead and they called the police just in case it was used at some point for a crime. It wasnt, just accidentally donated but is now property if the police. And hes also found a sword and a cane with a hidden dagger in the handle. Its honestly crazy what we will end up finding. When i was training i guess one of our other stores had a box of feces donated. Youre right though, not everything gets checked before being sent to our stores from warehouses. But donations can be made directly to our stores as well
Honestly this is my favorite channel. The stories and subjects are great and different. And the narrators voice is perfect for this.
Haven’t heard these anywhere! Great video
Thanks for the groovy video. All of the Goodwill comments are making me want to shop there. I donate there, but have never purchased anything.
NOW THIS IS HOW YOU DO THE DAMN THING !!!!! STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, NO NONSENSE CONTENT !!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
About those pictures that were found in albums/cameras. There was a time when a friend of my sister went to a local goodwill and found my sisters photograph in a frame. My sister didn’t know how goodwill got the photo or how it had even been taken.
You, Nick Crowley and Nexpo have the same voice, that's soooo disturbing. But I loooooove it because it's so calming and videos subjects are my favorite type of content. (Still disturbing tho)

Those wedding clowns are so cute ❤️
1:28 thats 100% human bones not an animal claw
That is no claw. I used to work in forensics. That is a mummified human hand with tendons that went into a state of flexion (contracture position) as a result of the tendons and tissues losing all their water content and thus contracting, after death. The fingernails appear longer because the surrounding tissues have dried up and retracted, causing the appearance of long fingernails.
UVB is part of an emergency broadcast system. US had a similar system way back (car radios even came with dedicated buttons for these stations) and Russia has maintained theirs since the cold war. Its purpose is to maintain communication across the country in the event of a disaster when other forms of communication are unavailable (i.e. nuclear war). Its not a secret, its actually meant for the public. Long ago I saw a picture for its receiver, it had the full description on it in Russian for what its use is.
It makes zero sense for "spies" to use open radio for communication in the 21st century (or ever for that matter) when even regular consumer grade systems are encrypted and scrambled, indistinguishable from background noise. It would pose no difficulty for anyone, even a regular Joe, to jam the signal locally.
Buzzing means the station is active and yes it keeps the frequency free, it also lets the listener know their equipment is working if they receive the buzzing tone as opposed to static or nothing. The interruptions are pretty routine and the messages meaningless and merely constitute a test. The reason this station can be picked up easily is because its located in the western parts of Russia, close to Europe. Similar stations exist in other parts of Russia serving the exact same purpose.
I don’t care about how scientists explain what the Mandela affect is.
Fruit of the loom used to have a cornucopia, and I will stand by that
Right so a woman can't have a penis and men can't get pregnant
7:43 I used to manage a charity shop(thrift shop) back in 2014, Not sure how common knowledge this is to people who have never worked in one but allot of the time stock is "rotated" from other stores across the city and country. so it's entirely possible that her dad donated that camera in Idaho where it never sold, and it got rotated to the same store in Arizona where she just so happened to like it. the chances of that are insane but honestly it wouldn't be the first time something crazy impossible has happened... especially when you hear the story of the 3 triplet brothers.
i know you literally state this later but still -- this is why. it's not a rabbit hole in fairness
I love how you tell the stories and not try to sell them as something real when it is not. That’s hard to find, specially when people talk about web series like ash vlogs or alan tutorials. Most of the guys that talk about them, skip the fact that it is an arg (I think thats the name) and sell it as a real story.
Concerning Doveland: why not look up old maps or the Internet archive? 😅 I kinda think that would clear things quickly, because apparently the town wasn't a secret location
fun fact: you can look up old spy plane and spy satellite pictures on Google Earth going back to the 60s and 70s.
I’m saying the same thing because in every town they usually do a census check every 10 years they even have records and documents of the town and if you were to look at it on an old map from 40 years ago, it should show up but it was a military town which means I could be a top-secret town, but even then it would still show up on a map of some sort
A military “pop-up” town wouldn’t necessarily be placed on a map - especially if it wasn’t permanent. Not even all military installations will appear on public maps - and it doesn’t even have to be “top secret”. It probably wasn’t even considered a permanent “town” but an installation.
Interestingly, there is a town in Wisconsin called "Delevan" Wisconsin, which is eerily similar in name. My guess is that people were talking about that town instead.
Just Googled Doveland Wisconsin and it seems like that town never existed while there is Delevan Wisconsin. People most likely misremembered Delevan for Doveland.
Regarding the first story, I was born in 1971 in and have lived most of my life in the town neighboring Elizabethton, TN. There was nothing. That area, though appearing very rundown had a fair amount of traffic. Most of the buildings being abandoned, there were still a few being used as seen by the cars in the photos, and considering nothing on the local news about this I'm extremely skeptical of the validity, but also appreciative of the telling. Thanks from a native for your narration.
Drunk and stoned rn, imma need some cat videos after this 😭
