I lived from age 11 to 18 in a haunted house. Often it sounded like there was a crowd of people talking in rooms that were unoccupied like the attic , when checked the sound stopped after we opened the door. Doors that were locked opened itself and vice versa. Footsteps passed in the hallways along with a cold feeling. The strangest thing happened with this old record player i owned. Often it started turning backwards. Also the mechanism that lifted the needle of the record at the end of the record was broke so the needle kept going on that endpiece of a record. After turning at that end of one of my records a voice was engraved in that silent piece, the voice obviously was never there before. It was a womans voice that said "uti aung", i never discovered what this ment, if it ment anything at all. This was all seen and experienced by friends and family and the record always kept that strange voice at the end. I was relieved when i moved out and that "it" did not follow me to my new residence.
Just what I was thinking! LIBRA - time (♎) has come around (and yes; I am one!😊); the first Autumn zodiac sign, has officially already started! September is rapidly running to its end... So...Time for a Halloween (or originally celtic "Samhain" [saa'win]) countdown! It's October's highlight anyways!🎃😨😱👻 👿😈☠🕷🕸🍁🍂🍃🌬🌪🤤🎃 I wish all of you who read this; young and old; of ANY kind of zodiac sign!; an exciting, truly scary, highly unexpected, quite (creepily) eventful and horrifically hauntingly terrifying, dark, wet, cold and eeriely windy 'n creepy, unforgiving October, and particularly on the 31st day (and night!) of it!... BOO!!!😉
I lived from the age of 19 to 26 in Karlstad, Sweden (I consider it my hometown), and I don't think I need Top5s to bring up what awful stuff has happened there. It's a medium-sized Swedish city (meaning some 60k people, more in the surrounding area), with not much happening (before Sweden became "diverse", that is). Just a block down from me, in the northern suburbs, there was a shooting between two Turkish gangs. And less than a hundred meters from there, when I lived there, schoolkids on the way home found a headless body just behind the bear statue. It was a 30 year old man who had been killed over some drug business. I must say, it makes the place sound a lot worse than it is... living there for all those years, almost all you see are families with children, and old pensioners. Then these things pop up. Very strange. (Oh I was also approached once by a police officer asking me to be cautious as there had been rape attempts in the area. Again. Welcome to New Sweden.)
I’ve never experienced paranormal activity but my wife has multiple times. We stayed in a hotel across from Disney land and she was awakened by a child’s voice whispering “mom mom mom” she woke up thinking it was one of our daughters but they were sound asleep. I told her they come to you because you believe.
I have never experienced anything either, but I do believe in it. I think most stories can be explained away by our suggestive minds that want to see things, but even if only 1% of stories can't be explained away, that leaves possibly millions of accounts.
Loving the new introduction and lay out very nicely done, your voice is so smoothing relaxing but eerie / serious at same time. Going to sign up to patreon
This is so crazy! I never in my wildest dreams would’ve thought I heard my hometown just randomly come up on any of the scary and or too 5’s videos I watch! Shout out to Leesburg VA! Crazy. I had no idea this murder ever even happened! Thank you for sharing!
Crystal's dad sounds strange lol..what kinda man tells his frightened 15yr old daughter to check out the loud knocking coming from the door at 11 at night...weird..🥴
I'm pretty sure I know them. My grandfather married into their family, he was dead within months. We went to Eagle River for the wedding reception. That place is definitely haunted. I could write an entire book about how messed up that place is. I still have nightmares despite being 8. My siblings and I found a boot which was attached to a human pelvis. Not going to elaborate. This was a LONG time ago. Crystal would be in her 50s today. The whole family was INSANE.
I remember something happening to me as a kid. It's seems very surreal yet so vivid since my older sister experienced it too. We're walking home following the footpath during a normal sunny afternoon. We had just come back from the shops with ice creams and snacks in hands. We sat down for a bit resting on a fence of our neighbors (They had a stone wall but bushes covering their view). My older sis and I started arguing, I think it was about who was next on the tv when all of sudden we heard running noises. Like someone stomping towards except there was no one around us. My older sis and I panicked and ran back home with running sounds slowly fading away behind us. This just feels so unexplainable and it lingers in my minds sometimes. It doesn't make any sense to me.
Ahh, so nice to be on here along with kind people! Facebook is filled with a lot of meanness! They make cruel comments to strangers! Hope it makes them feel good about themselves. I should have came directly here and skipped social media with all the angry people! Lesson learned. sigh.
@@lizardog Yeah, I know. It's not my real name. I picked it because I have lot of compassion for Mark. He "confessed" under torture to having an affair with Anne. Some people are puzzled as to why he never withdrew the confession but Mark could have been hung, drawn and quartered instead of being merely beheaded, the latter being a "reward" in exchange for not asserting his innocence.
@@Mark-Smeaton yes, I too believe Mark was railroaded. In fact, I believe all the charges against Anne were fabricated so Henry could get rid of her. I respect the way you're honoring Mr. Smeaton.

To know that the baby you held in your arms, raised and loved, becomes a monster who's face will be the last thing you see before dying , is just.... disturbing and sad. Same thing in the case of children who are abused or murdered by the people who should protect and love them, their own parents.😔
#3 is the case where I believe the teenagers pulled off the side of the road down from the house, got stuck, and ended up having to call a tow truck after the murder. Hard to believe they got caught!! Lol
Hello Top 5's. I really enjoy your content and wanted to ask if one day you and your team can di a video about the numerous missing cases of Indigenous peoples throughout the US and Canada. So many of their tragedies goes unheard in the media and I feel a channel that does such extensive research can do a video like this justice and bring awareness to the crimes done to these Indigenous communities throughout North America. Thanks again for reading if you did and keep up the great work.
Number 1... wtf dude. "Dad, dad! It sounds like someone's banging on our door in the middle of the night!" "Ok, teenager daughter, go check it out by yourself. NBD" No wonder why the parents got divorced, he sounds like a real standup guy :U
Look into the chicken coop murders of Wineville, Ca in the 1920s. It was a tragic event where kids were murdered. There’s been people who live in the area who have seen ghosts of kids dressed like if they were from the 1920s. I know you’ll enjoy doing research about it and hopefully you make a video about it
What I found interesting is how the Russian Orthodox community in that area of Alaska culturally blended with that of the Natives, rather than imposing any of their beliefs onto them
My dad worked on the renovations of the Grace Hospital and we had the door of the hospital room that Houdini died in stashed in our garage for decades until it was thrown out after his death. My dad always collected weird things.
Hey top 5's, I thoroughly am enjoying your episodes, I do have a request, a place with alot of secrets, Huntsville Alabama, especially haunting, not your r.l stines haunting, but evil eerie hauntings....jeep up the good work
The Lillylids were Jehovah’s Witnesses, as I am I. This was a huge thing in our community. I was just a kid when it happened, but I can remember the grown ups talking about it.
Harry Houdini died from being punched in the stomach. It was a "trick" he would preform at fairs and such. Harry did abdominal exercises when this type of muscle building was relatively unknown so he would allow anyone to come up on stage and punch him in the stomach. However, the punch that killed him was not on stage some goon who had seen the act approached Harry as he was just walking around and surprised him with a wallop to the gut. Harry died later of internal bleeding.
Um... no. Nope, you're not even a little right. Harry Houdini did not die from internal bleeding, and the myth that a single punch killed him has been widely debunked. Houdini's official cause of death is listed as peritonitis caused by a ruptured appendix. He had been very sick in the days leading up to the event with a high fever and abdominal pain and had been advised not to perform in the show that preceded the infamous punches. The man actually rabbit punched him repeatedly in the gut, delivering more than one blow, but cases of traumatic appendix ruptures are incredibly rare and it is far more likely that Houdini's appendix burst naturally. Houdini finally agreed to go to the hospital a full day (and one whole performance) later, but it was too late. Despite 2 operations, he could not be saved. He died a week later. TLDR? While it is possible that the infamous punches might have contributed to Houdini's already grave state of acute appendicitis, the majority of experts believe by that point, Houdini would have died whether he'd been punched or not, due mainly to his dedication to performing, his unholy stubbornness, and an unwillingness to treat his illness as directed by his doctor. A freaking legend in every way. But don't take my word for it. All the info is right there at your fingertips. blog.yalebooks.com/2020/03/11/did-houdini-really-die-after-being-sucker-punched/ www.history.com/news/what-killed-harry-houdini allthatsinteresting.com/how-did-houdini-die
@@smittysmeee is that right well ty for the correction. Oops looks like I ty too soon looking into the death of Harry Houdini brought this up "One of the students, named J. Gordon Whitehead, was reportedly extra curious about one of Houdini's tricks in particular. Harry was well known for his uncanny ability to withstand a blow to the stomach, and according to witnesses, Whitehead wanted to know if he was really impervious to gut punches, also asking if Houdini believed "in the miracles of the Bible," which is some Tarantino-level foreboding dialogue, before dropping "four or five terribly forcible, deliberate, well-directed blows" right into the unprepared escape artist's abdomen." So it would seem that the legend of Harrys death is true after all or I guess whatever you wish to believe. Read More: www.grunge.com/181176/the-truth-about-harry-houdinis-death/?

Voistinu voskrese :) I find it interesting, too, how their community and the Native community blended culturally in that area, rather than one violently imposing their beliefs on another 🙂
@@Bella.Parabellum I suspect the harsh environment and isolation led to a... spirit of cooperation, so to speak, in a age when your heat came from wood stoves and light from candles.
i have a disabled vet I enjoy your recordings, but do to the fact, but instead offer the suggestion based on my experiences, you look at haunted tanks and other military craft that still hold their crewmen within them.
Lmao! Yes! I remember someone trying to tell his colleague on Cold Case Detectives that he pronounced ‘Notre Dame’ wrong: then proceeded to spell it with the American pronunciation 😭😭😭😭
No, the name is pronounced wrong, nothing to do with his accent He also called Australia's leader a President. Anyone with a brain knows Australia's leader is known as a Prime Minister. He regularly fucks words up .
@@stonegasman3866 i absolutely will! I love haunted stuff. Leesburg isn't too bad of a drive away. If you have any other places, lemme know! I'd love to check them out.
Wow, my family is from Pike County KY so imagine my surprise that the very first story was from there! Especially since it’s a pretty impoverished, very rural place. They didn’t even have a Walmart until the late 90’s I don’t think.
Houdini would hate hearing he's on this list. Not me being douchey. He just spent his life debunking the existence of ghosts. But, if ghosts were real he'd appreciate the irony at the same time.
I can remember my TV zipping through channels until I ask them to stop. My dogs would stare into space and react to whatever they saw. I never felt threatened or even bothered. When it left I missed it.
I'm from Canberra ACT, and I'd like to thank Mr. De Berarais for being a patreon for this amazong channel so I got to see my hometown represented in these kinds of videos, which for an Australian fan, doesn't happen too much. I'd also like to thank Top5s for all the great videos 😊
@@Annie1962 Honestly there are a lot of misconceptions surrounding our country, hell, some people still think Sydney is the capital, but he had such good research for Canberran stuff, especially the Emergency Ward at Canberra Hospital where my Dad once worked, so I'm willing to let some stuff off, and still thank him for the video.
i used to live in Leesbug VA for more then 20 years. i been to balls bluffs and its sometimes feels like your being watch when your exploring the battle field
I live on the pike county line in West Virginia I remember when this happened I love about 25 minutes from pikeville. But I’ve never heard of the tan man
Well damn, i was gonna say hey what abt Flint Michigan, my hometown, even though I now live in Gladwin Michigan, but u already got "The D" n "Harrison".. 😂
I'm from Pike County KY, Pikeville to be exact. I remember the kids that killed the family. I use to go to church with on of the murderers mother, don't remember her first name, but it was the Howell girl. If her mother is any indication of what kind of person the daughter was, it makes sense, because that lady was insane. You only just scratched the surface of the insanity that has happened and still goes on in this area haha. Cool to see my hometown on here :D
@@mainlinemitch I don’t think he’s guilty. The only thing they have against him is a possible motive and an extremely unreliable witness. I don’t believe he is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and I want to see a new trial. But years after the original trial we now know the cell phone records were unreliable, the timeline didn’t add up, there was no DNA evidence, no defensive wounds, nothing(which is ironic that an 18 year old is a professional killer) and on top of all that he has maintained his innocence since everything happened and never took plea deals because of his claim.
The weirdest "paranormal" activity I've experienced was when I stayed in a hotel, not knowing it's apparently haunted; I felt uneasy in my room, it was very cold regardless of me putting the heating on, I swear I could hear foot steps in my room during the night, I woke up convinced there was someone in the corner of my room and while I was showering my instinct just told me not to turn my back to the door, it was all so strange. I didn't see anything but this was still the weirdest thing I've ever experienced.
I found this episode particularly disturbing. I grew up in sterling but now reside in leesburg and I often go to balls bluff🤯... little too close to home lol

i have a disabled vet I enjoy your recordings, but do to the fact, but instead offer the suggestion based on my experiences, you look at haunted tanks and other military craft that still hold their crewmen within them.
That's a great suggestion. I hope he does that!
I forgot armies were a thing there for a second and though you were just bragging about having a disabled vet
Love the introduction animation on the video. Great work!
- “Dad, help! Someone’s knocking at the front door!”
- “you got this!”
And continues to beat on the door for 30 more minutes, the father still can't be bothered to check it out and go downstairs! LMFAO!
This is the gentleman we like that is narrating. His voice is so calming and chilling at the same time.
Here before all the Karen’s complaining how he pronounced something “wrong” because he has a different accent than them 🙄
😂😂😂 Good one!
Lmao! Yes! I remember someone trying to tell his colleague on Cold Case Detectives that he pronounced ‘Notre Dame’ wrong: then proceeded to spell it with the American pronunciation 😭😭😭😭
@@bdet313 😂 happens every single video!
No, the name is pronounced wrong, nothing to do with his accent
He also called Australia's leader a President. Anyone with a brain knows Australia's leader is known as a Prime Minister. He regularly fucks words up .
Unfortunately, I was friends with some of those kids. It was so shocking and sad. I still cannot believe they killed those people in TN.
You put so much effort into your videos.
Thanks for sharing😊
The intro was certified SPOOKY 👻
Oh hey, I moved to Sterling not too long ago. Good to learn some history! Thank you Top5s
@@stonegasman3866 i absolutely will! I love haunted stuff. Leesburg isn't too bad of a drive away. If you have any other places, lemme know! I'd love to check them out.
Just got off work hell yeah my favorite RUclipsr
my favourite channel on youtube
@Exploring Beyond i know both of those and they ain't that great. also the Aussie accent grates on me too so
Can't wait for spooky October! 🤘🏻💀🤘🏻
Hello and greetings from Ireland.
#1, woken up by pounding on the door, dad tells the child to 'go check it out then!'
I cant be the only one thinking ' What a guy!!'
The lingering scent of roses makes me wonder if the Tan man might be an angel.
Wow, my family is from Pike County KY so imagine my surprise that the very first story was from there! Especially since it’s a pretty impoverished, very rural place. They didn’t even have a Walmart until the late 90’s I don’t think.
no there was a walmart there in the early 90s
cant wait to be apart of the october one. (yes i was selected)
thank u for picking me and keep up ur amazing content.
Thank you for another great video I am loving this series ❤️ 😀 😊
Us Aussies tend to say "CANBRA" not sure why we do, so when non Aussies say Canberra (the correct way it should be said) it sounds odd to me
Houdini would hate hearing he's on this list.
Not me being douchey. He just spent his life debunking the existence of ghosts. But, if ghosts were real he'd appreciate the irony at the same time.
I can remember my TV zipping through channels until I ask them to stop. My dogs would stare into space and react to whatever they saw. I never felt threatened or even bothered. When it left I missed it.
bless this channel for the content it uploads.
I'm from Canberra ACT, and I'd like to thank Mr. De Berarais for being a patreon for this amazong channel so I got to see my hometown represented in these kinds of videos, which for an Australian fan, doesn't happen too much. I'd also like to thank Top5s for all the great videos 😊
and you didn't pick up our host calling a former leader 'president'
@@Annie1962 Honestly there are a lot of misconceptions surrounding our country, hell, some people still think Sydney is the capital, but he had such good research for Canberran stuff, especially the Emergency Ward at Canberra Hospital where my Dad once worked, so I'm willing to let some stuff off, and still thank him for the video.
Wonderful stories! One of these really WAS too close to home, which made it eerier!
i used to live in Leesbug VA for more then 20 years. i been to balls bluffs and its sometimes feels like your being watch when your exploring the battle field
I go hiking at balls bluff all the time! It’s actually really beautiful!
Yes, these are creepy stories. It's almost midnight and I'm too scared to go to sleep now.
I live on the pike county line in West Virginia I remember when this happened I love about 25 minutes from pikeville. But I’ve never heard of the tan man
Love this channel so much 😘😘😊😊💜
Nice intro!! Love these “Too Close to Home” episodes!
It pisses me off when Murders take a plea deal in order for the death penalty to taken off the table. The victims pleas fell on deaf ears.
Why'd we have to do Houdini dirty like that?! IT WAS A COLD DAY OKAAAY!!!
Clara's case(number 3) was featured in an episode of Snapped.
Great Top5.s. 👍🏻🇬🇧
Well damn, i was gonna say hey what abt Flint Michigan, my hometown, even though I now live in Gladwin Michigan, but u already got "The D" n "Harrison".. 😂
Love to have more of these vlogs.
I'm from Pike County KY, Pikeville to be exact. I remember the kids that killed the family. I use to go to church with on of the murderers mother, don't remember her first name, but it was the Howell girl. If her mother is any indication of what kind of person the daughter was, it makes sense, because that lady was insane. You only just scratched the surface of the insanity that has happened and still goes on in this area haha. Cool to see my hometown on here :D
But it's not cool. It's disturbing. So much darkness in your neck of the woods.
Love your videos
BOOM!!
SECOND ROW!!!
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
@Karensimp
You not only read my comment, you also left a comment.
So to answer your question...
You care.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome content as usual! Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos!!
I really want you guys to take a look at the Hae Min Lee murder case
Why? Adnans guilty ass is already in jail, case closed.
@@mainlinemitch I don’t think he’s guilty. The only thing they have against him is a possible motive and an extremely unreliable witness. I don’t believe he is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and I want to see a new trial. But years after the original trial we now know the cell phone records were unreliable, the timeline didn’t add up, there was no DNA evidence, no defensive wounds, nothing(which is ironic that an 18 year old is a professional killer) and on top of all that he has maintained his innocence since everything happened and never took plea deals because of his claim.
What gets me is 63 people disliked this video. Why watch if it upsets you !
I thought youtube removed the dislikes
Great show, I have fun counting how many words are mispronounced,
It's always important to have a hobby, no matter how sad and mean-spirited they might be
The weirdest "paranormal" activity I've experienced was when I stayed in a hotel, not knowing it's apparently haunted; I felt uneasy in my room, it was very cold regardless of me putting the heating on, I swear I could hear foot steps in my room during the night, I woke up convinced there was someone in the corner of my room and while I was showering my instinct just told me not to turn my back to the door, it was all so strange. I didn't see anything but this was still the weirdest thing I've ever experienced.
can you at some point dig up creepy stories and crimes from Sweden. best regards. PS - love your channel and your content
Yay my hometown canberra got mentioned 😃😃
I found this episode particularly disturbing. I grew up in sterling but now reside in leesburg and I often go to balls bluff🤯... little too close to home lol
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS NEW INTRO! SO AWESOME! SETS THE MOOD UP IMMEDIATELY! ❤ 😁👍😱
