@@thetrippedup9322 Well, what do you consider canon? The more plausible stuff like notes, terminal entries? Physical proof of unnatural occurrences? I’m not trying to argue or anything I was just curious. Because what I consider canon is stuff heard,seen,felt,and mentioned by the player or their companions. Essentially I feel a canon play through is experiencing 100% of anything you can do in a fallout game. Even the fallout 2 ghost because you can see it and interact with it.
@@risingphoenix2529 the thing is if that was the case then the entire Fallout canon would be everywhere because of the games having things contradict alot. If everything was canon then Ghost, Aliens, Giant robots, mutants, and even synths all exist at once yet not everyone believes it considering millions of people all died at once meaning way more ghost would have existed.
Ghosts? Yeah I ran into that one ghost in fallout 2 that was killed by rats or something near Sulik's tribe or some shit. Tried killing the rat. Shot the ghost with a plasma rifle. Blew her in half. That's how I started my career in post apocalyptic ghost busting.
In fallout 2 when Anna Winslow's ghost is given the locket and the players speech bubble says; "This house is clear" is a reference to the movie Poltergeist, as fallout loves movie references. Also well done, this is an excellent video, thank you.
Just Imagine if Radiation not only wreaked the DNA, cells, and deformed the physical body, destroying the person's mind (like with feral Ghouls), but it also affected down to the Soul! It would be interesting to see radioactive paranormal storms as Billions of souls are denied eternal rest, and condemned to a limbo in earth, without even being the spirit of a human, but something much more dangerous and inexplicable. Yeah, I know that might not fully fit into the Fallout vibe, and even if it did, many would complain saying that it's "ridiculous". But it does fit into Metro, Chernobylite, and maybe even into S.T.A.L.K.E.R. worlds.
The closest to vampires that I'm aware of are the nightstalkers in new vegas the coyotes/rattlesnake combination unless its something to do with1 or 2 I've played 3 nv 4 and 76 dont remember anything on vampires I guess the cabinet house comes close but they dont drink blood just uses their fathers blood to remain young or live far longer then the average person

@@randomcommenter4719 @Linkthepaladin 520 Okay but how about the Dunwich building in Fallout 3? The doors open and close when you get near them. Those aren't Flashbacks. Spectral haunting, isn't that what ghost do? Remember ghosts aren't always seen.
I always loved the ghost encounters in Metro. Both games have great story telling but when you’re in an old creepy metro station and cut your light on and see shadows of people reliving their last moments before the bombs fell just brought it to another level.
Sometimes on the crashed Scout Bus in Honest Hearts you can hear what sounds like very faint screaming coming through either a radio or maybe the pip-boy that sounds like the kids falling, though not sure what if anything triggers it. Seems like only sometimes it can be heard and it's very faint.
Ayyy, Happy to see 76 get posted in a lore video, suprisingly I havent come across alot of that and I love that game suprisingly, happy to see it shown!
It should be noted that the encounter in nuka world is also actually a reference to the winchester mansion a mansion believed to be incredibly haunted and often had doors that lead to sheer drops, stairs that went nowhere and halls that had seemingly no purpose, all with the soul (no pun intended) intent at confusing the spirits that she believed to be malicious
My game glitched in Nuka World and I was able to walk up to Lucy's ghost. All that happens is your character says "Hi" and Lucy stays silent. I did have a video of this on my old PS4, but sadly that systems hard drive fried on me and I had to replace the console. I'm on another playthrough now and if by chance it happens again, I'm uploading the video to yourtube.
I have had Lucy bug out and cause the entire mansion mission to fail. I'm guessing one of the traps must have hit her, causing her to be hostile (though she doesn't attack or actually take damage). As a result, she didn't follow her script and instead ran away from me like I was attacking her. I recommend saving before entering the mansion.
that grand Chester house is based off the famous Winchester gun creator family, the real Winchester house was built like that with stairs leading to nowhere
I like your style. Keep it up and Oxhorn will have a competitor. Far Habor is an interesting DLC. I would appreciate some background info, when you find time in your schedule. Thanks for your time.
ghosts could be compared to nuclear radiation kinda. Volatile energy that persists for hundreds of years and are remnants of very powerful events. I’m glad there are ghosts in fallout.
Hearing about Post Nuclear Ghosts just reminds me of what Khan says in Metro. "The fires of Nuclear Armageddon have burned away Heaven, Hell, and Limbo. Leaving the souls of those who have died to forever walk this barren world." I'm heavily paraphrasing here, but the message is clear. The Fires of War burned so brightly that the Dead have nowhere else to go, but to forever walk this Tomb of a Planet.
so wait, in fallout 76 your character canonically has a good soul? What if you kill a bunch of innocent people before you go there? will it keep playing?
Well you could argue anything done after the bombs dropped was for survival. Not to mention how are they measuring a good soul? It could be looking at the past life, i mean its only 20 years too.
Love replying to old comments. So I just picked up 76 a few weeks ago and just found that church yesterday, not sure if it's normal but the music kept playing for me inside the church while I was killing the ghouls and I even played the organ while the music was still playing. I have like zero faction affiliations since I just started the game and haven't done any dlc missions yet. Maybe it was just bugged for me but it was pretty cool to experience. The mire terrifies me.
I believe that the top of Goodsprings Cemetery is haunted as well. There's times where i wander up there and as it gets real quiet you can hear some strange whispers in the wind you can't really hear anywhere else. It could just be my imagination though...
The way fallout portrays supernatural stuff is so cool, they make it rare enough or subtle enough that it feels believable, you can see why ghosts could be considered by most as just myths, specially seeing as how many supernatural events are kind of open to interpretation if it is actually a ghost or something else, except for the ghost in Fallout 2, and Fallout 2 is so full of gags that many things are to be taken with a grain of salt.
@@unavela ehhhh considering its a Mormon missionary that warns us about the Eldritch horrors, I would say it was more supernatural. Why would a religion be interested in destroying anything Alien unless it was demonic in someway
Yeah, I expected that to be one of the top ones here, at least in fallout 3 you definitely do see ghosts, even if it's just flashes of them. Still scary as hell when you don't know about it and your going through a building filled with ferals for some loot, just a normal thing in the capitol wasteland, only for that to happen and hearing weird noises and suddenly finding a Lovecraft like demonic piller in it's basement, just out of nowhere, right when you thought the world outside was scary enough, that shows up.
11:08 When I had this encounter the AI bugged and started to act like a normal npc so it just started running away and down the halls when I tried to shoot it
Great video, love the detail and effort put in to really connect from fallout game to the other. Iv played and watched many videos and you are showing me new things still. Why I love these games
Something I find fascinating, is that the Alien worshippers talk about being able to stop spirit interactions with the help of their "gamma ray". Possible correlation??
Honestly, credit where it's due for the Fallout 76 one. It's eerie, things get progressively more unnerving the longer you dig into it, and best of all, it's presented just vaguely enough to leave you wondering. An ideal ghost story.
No word about Far harbors "Fog Mother" So I'm gonna assume it gonna get its own video, much like Dunwhich encounters. Sooner or later... Questions aside, loving the lore videos... Its nice to see some fresh eyes & voice on such topics, Keep it up! I feel like future fallout game makers, will need to look back on this stuff. If they want to fix the dmg done, to the fallout games.
I was waiting for a mention of Fallout 4's Dunwich Borer's ghosts. Despite the location being an easter egg/throwback to Fallout 3's other Lovecraft reference, they were still startling. Like, take me, for example. Fallout 4 was the first game in the series I'd played--I assumed it was just an action-adventure and became uber addicted to the game, to the point where I was staying up well into the morning most days playing it. Enter me, having just spent the last half hour not only clearing the quarry topside, but also playing guerilla warfare against that one mfing guy in power armor, and I can finally, FINALLY get that sweet mfing loot. Then I find a crack between two quarry boulders and a loading screen and suddenly, 'What's this?', MORE enemies to kill and loot to horde. Alright. Not to bad. It's like midnight. I'm the only one up. I start reading the terminals. Totally normal pre-war company negligence. Feel bad for the workers. Yada yada. I get to the 'boss room'. And more guerilla warfare of sprinting back up those metal stairs to get distance between me and my targets. Eventually kill them both. Alright. Nice. I see that beautiful chained door that I believe must have all the ACTUAL loot from this giant place. I loot the two corpses and COMPLETELY MISS THE TERMINAL ON THE REACTOR (which would have given me some warning to what was to come) I open the door, and it's not a treasure room, not a room of riches. It's a freaky fecking mine tunnel descending into darkness. I'm thrown off by this and find that first light switch. The first round of ghouls freak me out, but I kill them easily enough, but I don't really understand what's happening yet, so I move on. I find the next switch and think I'm good cuz ghouls don't immediately spawn. I take a few tentative steps forward and the screen flashes and suddenly I'm looking into the faces of a group of pre-war dudes on their lunch break for a second before it's back to the creepy darkness and the ghouls are crawling out of their hidey-holes and I say 'Feck this' and I run Not back, not retreating towards the light. But FORWARD My tired, scared brain believed that Dunwich Borer's worked like so many of Skyrim's locations and that, despite how big the cave or the dungeon was, there was ALWAYS an exit at the end of it. So I sprinted through the dark, panic jumping over things I couldn't see, completely forgetting that I have a Pipboy light in the panic to get away from the (always freaky) ghoul horde that was slowly growing in size behind me. I notice there's a smaller tunnel entrance further back, at the end of the large, open room, and I just run down it. Straight into another, mind-fecking flashback that is just so alien to me it's like I accidentally set foot in Outlast or Amnesia or something instead of what I THOUGHT was only an adventure game. Then I tumbled into the pit of water that would eventually lead to the best blade in the game. In the dark. Trapped by ghouls. And it was then that I decided to go back a save. I fear going back to Dunwich Borer's every time I replay. That felt like those moments in childhood cartoons where that freaky sh!t happens. Like the 'Return the Slab' from Courage the Cowardly Dog or something. It was weirdly out of place even beside all the rest of the creepy stuff in the game.
The Granchester Mansion is clearly a homage to the Winchester Mansion in San Jose, California. For the uninitiated, the Winchester Mansion was home to the Winchester family, the same Winchester that created firearms. Sarah Winchester, wife and widow of William Winchester, was incredibly superstitious and thought that her soul could be captured if anyone took a photograph of her. She also believed that the spirits of people killed by Winchester rifles haunted her constantly. As a result, she had the mansion built with staircases that led to nowhere, windows inside the house that had no purpose, as well as other odd designs implemented. This was to confuse the spirits that she believed haunted her.
The grandchester mansion is an homage to the Winchester mystery mansion. The widow and heir tk the Winchester fortune beloved she was being haunted by all of the spirits of the men who her husbands guns had killed so she built endless hallways and staircases that went to no where to try and confuse the spirits.
It’d be great to have fallout have the same kind of ghosts that the first 2 metro games have, they’re actually very spooky and set the atmosphere of destruction and death, seeing how life was before the bombs fell for brief flashes
I mean, we never had a Nuclear War of this scale... Who knows? Maybe so much force on the atmosphere and particles CAN open a portal to the other side! ...so it CAN be canon and scientifically accurate... i hope we never find out. Also, the Dunwhich places are Lovecraftian not Ghostly, so TOTALY Scientific!
You did a great job covering these ghost encounters, but I must admit I clicked on this video thinking it was about the ghost people of the sierra madre lol
I came across a glitch in the mystery mansion where I chased the girl and she stood in the corner of a doorway and I talked to her and my character said something generic that the player character would say to children in the game. She'd only stand there and I couldn't progress further into the mansion because there was an invisible wall.
You missed some ghosts like in fallout 3 and new vegas FoNV in the good springs cemetery you can hear ghosts and in the Dunwich Building in FO3 there are also ghosts voices :P
Yeah, if fallout add more ghosts and paranormal/supranatural encounters that would be complete package, not really a fan of horror games but after playthrough on metro trilogy i'd say, why not, it adds lore and depth to the game.
8:30 im pretty sure that bear was real and really that big because Datura is not a hallucinogen it's a deliriant. It isnt likely make someone hallucinate a giant on fire bear, instead Datura like to make people forget who they are, where they are, that they consumed Datura, and it also causes an intense sense of dread that convinces people they're absolutely sure they're going to die. The fire that closes you in and the fire on the bear might be the designers way of trying to convey that sense of dread.
There is a place in fallout 4 where you can have hallucinations of people commiting a suicide pact, i dont remember the name, but i think they where ghost (sorry for my english, not native speaker)
Your English is better than mine! 😂 and that place is the Dubwhich Borers, more of a hallucination/blink to the past than ghosts though (just my interpretation) 👍
11:40 she’s classified as a NPC unlike the mother of the fog but it’s extremely difficult to target her and I only found out due to accidentally locking onto her with VATS the only reason that I think Bethesda did this was because she only appears seconds at a time making killing her a near impossibility which they might have made her incapable of dying as well
There's also a location in 76, a series of vacation cabins specifically where disembodied screams can be heard. There's even a pre war terminal entry mentioning how hard it was to get people to stay there with all the screaming. If I recall correctly there’s even poltergeist activity in the cabins.
That place scared me when I first got there until I started to piece together that the screams were coming from loudspeakers. It turned out that the screams, doors opening and closing themselves, spinning paintings, and tremors were being controlled by a terminal in a nearby treehouse. You can turn them off but also create more noise to attract enemies.
I see ‘Ghosts!’, I think Ghost People of the Sierra Madre. At first I was disappointed this wasn’t a video on their lore, but watching this all the way through, it is very interesting. Btw, I really hate Dead Money, but only because I am absolutely trash at gaming and I simply cannot git gud. It is the only FNV DLC I never could finish. Those dang Ghost People and the Red Mist… Dog is cool though
Fun fact, in sanctuary, there's a chance that you can have a haunted bench-weight for the people.. if you have Hancock as your companion and you shoot at the bench while it's lifting weights on it's own, he will comment "wait, you see it too?" so.. ya..
Considering I fought the ghost of she in hand to hand combat she was a legend truly a worthy foe so I’ll believe the legend I hope she rests in peace now
The Grandchester house is based on the Winchester house which I'm highly surprised you didn't mention since it would help provide a lot of clues, not to mention the painting in the house is a person we already know from the commonwealth, Abbott.
I found that church in 76 by accident and constantly come back to just sit in that chair in the office. Very few places in that game I'm genuinely comfortable in and that's oddly one of them.

I’m not trying to argue or anything I was just curious. Because what I consider canon is stuff heard,seen,felt,and mentioned by the player or their companions. Essentially I feel a canon play through is experiencing 100% of anything you can do in a fallout game. Even the fallout 2 ghost because you can see it and interact with it.
@@risingphoenix2529 the thing is if that was the case then the entire Fallout canon would be everywhere because of the games having things contradict alot. If everything was canon then Ghost, Aliens, Giant robots, mutants, and even synths all exist at once yet not everyone believes it considering millions of people all died at once meaning way more ghost would have existed.
Pretty much all of them are silly to some extent except the very first one. And there are even a few spots in THAT game are at least somewhat humorous
I consider absolutely everything in Fallout 2 a lot more canon than the entirety of Fallout 3 and 4.
Ghosts? Yeah I ran into that one ghost in fallout 2 that was killed by rats or something near Sulik's tribe or some shit. Tried killing the rat. Shot the ghost with a plasma rifle.
Blew her in half.
That's how I started my career in post apocalyptic ghost busting.
Who ya gonna call?
No one because the phones haven't worked in 200 years.
@@glenngriffon8032 Nah you got a working Enclave phone call with someone who may or may not be offended when you talk to him.
In fallout 2 when Anna Winslow's ghost is given the locket and the players speech bubble says; "This house is clear" is a reference to the movie Poltergeist, as fallout loves movie references. Also well done, this is an excellent video, thank you.
Just Imagine if Radiation not only wreaked the DNA, cells, and deformed the physical body, destroying the person's mind (like with feral Ghouls), but it also affected down to the Soul!
It would be interesting to see radioactive paranormal storms as Billions of souls are denied eternal rest, and condemned to a limbo in earth, without even being the spirit of a human, but something much more dangerous and inexplicable.
Yeah, I know that might not fully fit into the Fallout vibe, and even if it did, many would complain saying that it's "ridiculous".
But it does fit into Metro, Chernobylite, and maybe even into S.T.A.L.K.E.R. worlds.
That's definitely stalker territory
I want one these for next video
Fallout Lore: Vampires (they’re in Fallout 3)
Fallout Lore: Aliens
Fallout Lore: Cannibals
The closest to vampires that I'm aware of are the nightstalkers in new vegas the coyotes/rattlesnake combination unless its something to do with1 or 2 I've played 3 nv 4 and 76 dont remember anything on vampires I guess the cabinet house comes close but they dont drink blood just uses their fathers blood to remain young or live far longer then the average person
@@raijin1378 Google this
“The Family, Fallout 3” they are all ACTUAL vampires and their leader is named Vance. It’s related to a quest in Arefu. As far as I know they are only in Fallout 3.
@@OverqualiFRIED Aren't Vance family is just a bunch of Cannibals that decided to instead eating human flesh they just drink the blood to copy the real vampire from some old books
@@rofi5692 No they have withdraw symptoms and get weaker and sick when they don’t drink blood. They are the only “cannibals” in Fallout that have these traits and Vance even says him self that “Vampire” sounds ridiculous but there is no other word to describe them and “cannibals” just isn’t what they are, every character you speak too will insist on that last part.
@@OverqualiFRIED hmm I dont remember that was that some hidden content or mods, never played a fallout game with mods before dont have a pc and absolutely I'll give it a look thank you
9:33 "with mysterious candles that flicker to life" candles light. Room explodes. Hard cuts to another scene as explosion starts.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the dunwich horror ghosts from fallout 3 and 4.
They're not really "ghosts" though. More like flashbacks.
Thats not really ghosts I would say. They are flashbacks to whatever cult stuff was going on. Its more magic.
@@randomcommenter4719 @Linkthepaladin 520 Okay but how about the Dunwich building in Fallout 3? The doors open and close when you get near them. Those aren't Flashbacks. Spectral haunting, isn't that what ghost do? Remember ghosts aren't always seen.
@@dracodarastrix4175 I think that falls more in line with the ancient god that's connected to the place, so not so much a ghost but an Eldritch entity
He will make a video specifically for them
I always loved the ghost encounters in Metro. Both games have great story telling but when you’re in an old creepy metro station and cut your light on and see shadows of people reliving their last moments before the bombs fell just brought it to another level.
Sometimes on the crashed Scout Bus in Honest Hearts you can hear what sounds like very faint screaming coming through either a radio or maybe the pip-boy that sounds like the kids falling, though not sure what if anything triggers it. Seems like only sometimes it can be heard and it's very faint.
I was wondering what that noise was
I want to hear this now.
Yea, I heard this to
Maybe Joshua grahams is actually dead and is a spirit who do you know ever got thrown off the Grand Canyon and lived? *or fallen off
Btw I quite thoroughly enjoyed the mire region in 76 its also where I encountered the mothman and the flat woods monster more often then not
Your channel is underrated I figure you will grow massive soon please keep making content!
You got it!
So glad I discovered this channel. There has been a void for good fallout lore for sometime on youtube.
Ayyy, Happy to see 76 get posted in a lore video, suprisingly I havent come across alot of that and I love that game suprisingly, happy to see it shown!
One day this guy will blow up and will probably be one of the best channels for lore out there
It should be noted that the encounter in nuka world is also actually a reference to the winchester mansion a mansion believed to be incredibly haunted and often had doors that lead to sheer drops, stairs that went nowhere and halls that had seemingly no purpose, all with the soul (no pun intended) intent at confusing the spirits that she believed to be malicious
The world of fallout 76 had so much potential man
My game glitched in Nuka World and I was able to walk up to Lucy's ghost. All that happens is your character says "Hi" and Lucy stays silent. I did have a video of this on my old PS4, but sadly that systems hard drive fried on me and I had to replace the console. I'm on another playthrough now and if by chance it happens again, I'm uploading the video to yourtube.
like the default "Hi" your character says to children npc in FO4?
That must have been creepy lol especially if it was the second time
Should've done it drunk.
*walks up to ghostly apparition* HELLOOOOOO!
I have had Lucy bug out and cause the entire mansion mission to fail. I'm guessing one of the traps must have hit her, causing her to be hostile (though she doesn't attack or actually take damage). As a result, she didn't follow her script and instead ran away from me like I was attacking her. I recommend saving before entering the mansion.
that grand Chester house is based off the famous Winchester gun creator family, the real Winchester house was built like that with stairs leading to nowhere
The haunted playgrounds where you could still hear children always creeped me out
I like your style. Keep it up and Oxhorn will have a competitor.
Far Habor is an interesting DLC.
I would appreciate some background info, when you find time in your schedule.
Thanks for your time.
ghosts could be compared to nuclear radiation kinda. Volatile energy that persists for hundreds of years and are remnants of very powerful events. I’m glad there are ghosts in fallout.
I love binge-watching your Fallout lore videos. Amazing!
Hearing about Post Nuclear Ghosts just reminds me of what Khan says in Metro.
"The fires of Nuclear Armageddon have burned away Heaven, Hell, and Limbo. Leaving the souls of those who have died to forever walk this barren world."
I'm heavily paraphrasing here, but the message is clear. The Fires of War burned so brightly that the Dead have nowhere else to go, but to forever walk this Tomb of a Planet.
Well done... I like the style of your videos. Keep em coming. 👍
The "Demonic Witching Hour" is 3 am the "Witching Hour" is midnight.
More or less midnight to four am. It’s better to ...stay inside during that time.
What's the difference?
Nice deep dive on the paranormal Fallout. Subbed a couple days ago after watching some other content. Got rewarded here big time.
That one choice when talking to the ghost: "I think you need to turn off your stealthboy maam" lmaoo
Keep up the good work man, you're just as good as oxhorn
Better than Oxhorn
@@truelies9187 agreed
much better
So much better than Oxhorn!
Phenomenally better than Oxhorn
Just found your channel and happy I did! Very hard to find any other lore creators on here so keep up the work man :-)
so wait, in fallout 76 your character canonically has a good soul? What if you kill a bunch of innocent people before you go there? will it keep playing?
**BETHESDA LOGIC 100**
Well you could argue anything done after the bombs dropped was for survival. Not to mention how are they measuring a good soul? It could be looking at the past life, i mean its only 20 years too.
Love replying to old comments. So I just picked up 76 a few weeks ago and just found that church yesterday, not sure if it's normal but the music kept playing for me inside the church while I was killing the ghouls and I even played the organ while the music was still playing. I have like zero faction affiliations since I just started the game and haven't done any dlc missions yet. Maybe it was just bugged for me but it was pretty cool to experience. The mire terrifies me.
I believe that the top of Goodsprings Cemetery is haunted as well. There's times where i wander up there and as it gets real quiet you can hear some strange whispers in the wind you can't really hear anywhere else. It could just be my imagination though...
The way fallout portrays supernatural stuff is so cool, they make it rare enough or subtle enough that it feels believable, you can see why ghosts could be considered by most as just myths, specially seeing as how many supernatural events are kind of open to interpretation if it is actually a ghost or something else, except for the ghost in Fallout 2, and Fallout 2 is so full of gags that many things are to be taken with a grain of salt.
What about the Eldritch stuff
@@YūreiMagnet alien stuff doesn't qualify as supernatural in my book, the eldritch things seem kind of cosmical/interdimentional/alien to me.
@@unavela Yeah you're right
@@unavela ehhhh considering its a Mormon missionary that warns us about the Eldritch horrors, I would say it was more supernatural. Why would a religion be interested in destroying anything Alien unless it was demonic in someway
@@HoboHunterRik bc to religious folk most of what they don't understand is demonic to them
I've been binging your lore and challenge videos. They were funny and interesting! Thank you for all the hard work you put into them.
Will you make a video about all the Dunwich horrors in the fallout game ?
It's on my radar, you could potentially see a video in the near future
Yeah, I expected that to be one of the top ones here, at least in fallout 3 you definitely do see ghosts, even if it's just flashes of them. Still scary as hell when you don't know about it and your going through a building filled with ferals for some loot, just a normal thing in the capitol wasteland, only for that to happen and hearing weird noises and suddenly finding a Lovecraft like demonic piller in it's basement, just out of nowhere, right when you thought the world outside was scary enough, that shows up.
11:08 When I had this encounter the AI bugged and started to act like a normal npc so it just started running away and down the halls when I tried to shoot it
Great video, love the detail and effort put in to really connect from fallout game to the other. Iv played and watched many videos and you are showing me new things still. Why I love these games
Something I find fascinating, is that the Alien worshippers talk about being able to stop spirit interactions with the help of their "gamma ray". Possible correlation??
I thought I was just high in honest hearts lol! I didn’t think it was a real ghost.
9:32 candles that flicker to life….*explodes*
None of this was really new information, I am a lore junkie (hence why I am here). HOWEVER, these videos are SO WELL DONE. Fantastic watch. :D
10:37, when you are haunting the haunting ghost.
Subbed man, these lore videos are awesome.
When fallout become The Elder Scrolls
It could be what's left of TES universe after Alduin returned once more
The Kalpa and all that
“And trick candles that mysteriously flicker to life”
*FUCKING EXPLODES*
Honestly, credit where it's due for the Fallout 76 one. It's eerie, things get progressively more unnerving the longer you dig into it, and best of all, it's presented just vaguely enough to leave you wondering. An ideal ghost story.
He says “begin again.” *Sierra Madre flashbacks*
No word about Far harbors "Fog Mother" So I'm gonna assume it gonna get its own video, much like Dunwhich encounters. Sooner or later...
Questions aside, loving the lore videos... Its nice to see some fresh eyes & voice on such topics, Keep it up!
I feel like future fallout game makers, will need to look back on this stuff. If they want to fix the dmg done, to the fallout games.
Fairly certain fog mother is an actual person
Love it, sound just like “Dark Souls” lore videos. Great job man!!
Now I think about it. The house kinda reminds me of winchester mystery house
9:32 I'M DYING
I was waiting for a mention of Fallout 4's Dunwich Borer's ghosts. Despite the location being an easter egg/throwback to Fallout 3's other Lovecraft reference, they were still startling.
Like, take me, for example. Fallout 4 was the first game in the series I'd played--I assumed it was just an action-adventure and became uber addicted to the game, to the point where I was staying up well into the morning most days playing it.
Enter me, having just spent the last half hour not only clearing the quarry topside, but also playing guerilla warfare against that one mfing guy in power armor, and I can finally, FINALLY get that sweet mfing loot. Then I find a crack between two quarry boulders and a loading screen and suddenly, 'What's this?', MORE enemies to kill and loot to horde. Alright. Not to bad. It's like midnight. I'm the only one up. I start reading the terminals. Totally normal pre-war company negligence. Feel bad for the workers. Yada yada.
I get to the 'boss room'. And more guerilla warfare of sprinting back up those metal stairs to get distance between me and my targets. Eventually kill them both. Alright. Nice. I see that beautiful chained door that I believe must have all the ACTUAL loot from this giant place.
I loot the two corpses and COMPLETELY MISS THE TERMINAL ON THE REACTOR (which would have given me some warning to what was to come)
I open the door, and it's not a treasure room, not a room of riches. It's a freaky fecking mine tunnel descending into darkness. I'm thrown off by this and find that first light switch. The first round of ghouls freak me out, but I kill them easily enough, but I don't really understand what's happening yet, so I move on.
I find the next switch and think I'm good cuz ghouls don't immediately spawn. I take a few tentative steps forward and the screen flashes and suddenly I'm looking into the faces of a group of pre-war dudes on their lunch break for a second before it's back to the creepy darkness and the ghouls are crawling out of their hidey-holes and I say 'Feck this' and I run
Not back, not retreating towards the light. But FORWARD
My tired, scared brain believed that Dunwich Borer's worked like so many of Skyrim's locations and that, despite how big the cave or the dungeon was, there was ALWAYS an exit at the end of it. So I sprinted through the dark, panic jumping over things I couldn't see, completely forgetting that I have a Pipboy light in the panic to get away from the (always freaky) ghoul horde that was slowly growing in size behind me.
I notice there's a smaller tunnel entrance further back, at the end of the large, open room, and I just run down it. Straight into another, mind-fecking flashback that is just so alien to me it's like I accidentally set foot in Outlast or Amnesia or something instead of what I THOUGHT was only an adventure game.
Then I tumbled into the pit of water that would eventually lead to the best blade in the game. In the dark. Trapped by ghouls. And it was then that I decided to go back a save.
I fear going back to Dunwich Borer's every time I replay. That felt like those moments in childhood cartoons where that freaky sh!t happens. Like the 'Return the Slab' from Courage the Cowardly Dog or something. It was weirdly out of place even beside all the rest of the creepy stuff in the game.
The Granchester Mansion is clearly a homage to the Winchester Mansion in San Jose, California. For the uninitiated, the Winchester Mansion was home to the Winchester family, the same Winchester that created firearms. Sarah Winchester, wife and widow of William Winchester, was incredibly superstitious and thought that her soul could be captured if anyone took a photograph of her. She also believed that the spirits of people killed by Winchester rifles haunted her constantly. As a result, she had the mansion built with staircases that led to nowhere, windows inside the house that had no purpose, as well as other odd designs implemented. This was to confuse the spirits that she believed haunted her.
I'm here! 😎 Great video, just posting a comment to show some support! Keep up the good work. 🤙
The grandchester mansion is an homage to the Winchester mystery mansion. The widow and heir tk the Winchester fortune beloved she was being haunted by all of the spirits of the men who her husbands guns had killed so she built endless hallways and staircases that went to no where to try and confuse the spirits.
Love this stuff im really glad i found your videos respect and keep up the epic work.
It’d be great to have fallout have the same kind of ghosts that the first 2 metro games have, they’re actually very spooky and set the atmosphere of destruction and death, seeing how life was before the bombs fell for brief flashes
The Witching Hour runs between 3:33am and 4:33am. It's supposed to be a mockery of the Holy Trinity.
11:17
That's pretty cool
Sounds like the creators got inspiration from The Winchester House & it's history for this part
I mean, we never had a Nuclear War of this scale...
Who knows?
Maybe so much force on the atmosphere and particles CAN open a portal to the other side!
...so it CAN be canon and scientifically accurate... i hope we never find out.
Also, the Dunwhich places are Lovecraftian not Ghostly, so TOTALY Scientific!
You did a great job covering these ghost encounters, but I must admit I clicked on this video thinking it was about the ghost people of the sierra madre lol
I came across a glitch in the mystery mansion where I chased the girl and she stood in the corner of a doorway and I talked to her and my character said something generic that the player character would say to children in the game. She'd only stand there and I couldn't progress further into the mansion because there was an invisible wall.
Honestly fallout 3 should have implicated more horror aspects, it just fits the vibe of the capital wasteland
I like ranger ghost a lot, she's cool
The fog mother in far harbor always creeped me out.
You missed some ghosts like in fallout 3 and new vegas
FoNV in the good springs cemetery you can hear ghosts and in the Dunwich Building in FO3 there are also ghosts voices :P
Glad he didnt mention it because its old ass news that literally every other famous fallout tuber has already covered on countless recycled videos
No mention of the Commie Ghosts What Don't Know They're Dead in the REPCONN Facility.
0/10
Ahh, back to the Keyboard Guys n Gals, n check this Ghosted content! Luv it!
Yeah, if fallout add more ghosts and paranormal/supranatural encounters that would be complete package, not really a fan of horror games but after playthrough on metro trilogy i'd say, why not, it adds lore and depth to the game.
8:30 im pretty sure that bear was real and really that big because Datura is not a hallucinogen it's a deliriant. It isnt likely make someone hallucinate a giant on fire bear, instead Datura like to make people forget who they are, where they are, that they consumed Datura, and it also causes an intense sense of dread that convinces people they're absolutely sure they're going to die. The fire that closes you in and the fire on the bear might be the designers way of trying to convey that sense of dread.
You make the best Fallout videos, just so you know lol
The Lucy Grantchester Ghost scared the crap out of me
9:32 LOL
In new Vegas you can hear children laughing & playing at abandoned playgrounds
There is a place in fallout 4 where you can have hallucinations of people commiting a suicide pact, i dont remember the name, but i think they where ghost (sorry for my english, not native speaker)
Your English is better than mine! 😂 and that place is the Dubwhich Borers, more of a hallucination/blink to the past than ghosts though (just my interpretation) 👍
11:40 she’s classified as a NPC unlike the mother of the fog but it’s extremely difficult to target her and I only found out due to accidentally locking onto her with VATS the only reason that I think Bethesda did this was because she only appears seconds at a time making killing her a near impossibility which they might have made her incapable of dying as well
I’ve watched two of your videos yesterday bout to watch the rest today
Enjoy!
Thanks I will 🙂
Keep up the good work love yah videos helps me calm down 😅
There's also a location in 76, a series of vacation cabins specifically where disembodied screams can be heard. There's even a pre war terminal entry mentioning how hard it was to get people to stay there with all the screaming. If I recall correctly there’s even poltergeist activity in the cabins.
That place scared me when I first got there until I started to piece together that the screams were coming from loudspeakers. It turned out that the screams, doors opening and closing themselves, spinning paintings, and tremors were being controlled by a terminal in a nearby treehouse. You can turn them off but also create more noise to attract enemies.
I see ‘Ghosts!’, I think Ghost People of the Sierra Madre. At first I was disappointed this wasn’t a video on their lore, but watching this all the way through, it is very interesting. Btw, I really hate Dead Money, but only because I am absolutely trash at gaming and I simply cannot git gud. It is the only FNV DLC I never could finish. Those dang Ghost People and the Red Mist… Dog is cool though
WHATCHA BE NEEDIN' INTENSIFIES
Fun fact,
in sanctuary, there's a chance that you can have a haunted bench-weight for the people..
if you have Hancock as your companion
and you shoot at the bench while it's lifting weights on it's own, he will comment
"wait, you see it too?"
so.. ya..
Good intro, well written
Considering I fought the ghost of she in hand to hand combat she was a legend truly a worthy foe so I’ll believe the legend I hope she rests in peace now
Perhaps a video about paranormal abilities? If I recall correctly, FEV had it psionic branch.
Already covered in my psyker video! 😁👍
A fallout from the Chinese perspective would be great.
The Grandchester house is based on the Winchester house which I'm highly surprised you didn't mention since it would help provide a lot of clues, not to mention the painting in the house is a person we already know from the commonwealth, Abbott.
I found that church in 76 by accident and constantly come back to just sit in that chair in the office. Very few places in that game I'm genuinely comfortable in and that's oddly one of them.
You deserve more subs
Great video but there was alot of details from NV and especially fallout 3 that truly deserved a spotlight.
