It was DB Cooper. Same area. The money got moldy. What a gross dude.
I literally JUST now saw a tumblr post about DB Cooper that said "new DB Cooper theory: he went up"
He pulled a dave matthews band
@@junomonsoonno he went sideways and into the Bermuda Triangle and is now in Atlantis, married to Amelia Earhart and they have a bunch of mermaid kids
@@ceazarsalad4414???
@@DeadInside-ew8qb Dave Mathews Band infamously dumped their tour bus poop off a bridge while a boat was passing under them.
Ryan throwing blobs at Shane and then immediately fearing retaliation is such sibling energy
This is literally my younger brother annoying me but then running away screaming as soon as I look at him because I have traumatised him with the excessive amount of times I had him screaming from being tickled ever since he was a toddler. Grown ass man and he's still scared of me potentially tickling him. It's funny.
You NEED to do a mystery files about the 1951 Pont-Saint-Esprit mass poisoning where a town fell into mass hysteria and people believed it was from “cursed bread”
Like moldy bread ergot poisoning?
@@Absbabs88 they believe it was that, but I saw another theory was mercury poisoning?? Who knows haha
Are we sure they weren’t all just witches
that sounds more like a Puppet History premise lol
I just saw on Goodreads yesterday that someone wrote a book based on this event, like a fictionalized version of it. I think it was called "Cursed Bread." Would love to see Shane cover this event!
"In Somerset England... which is... right there" **points at picture of mt rainier in Washington**
I was reading the comments while watching the video and it synched perfectly when Ryan said this and I read your comment!!!!
I was also gonna say. Yo, isn’t that a picture of Mt. Rainier XD
Thank you!! I was like “since when did we have a mountain in Somerset???”
Definitely Mt Rainier 🤣
Source: I see it every day 😅
@c0athanger yeah I lived in the greater Seattle area until I was 19 and I miss the clear sky days where that mountain looked so beautiful. I knew as soon as I saw it, that was not a picture from Somerset 😂
Ryan running away from Shane to avoid getting the blobs thrown at him, and then just standing there while Shane throws the blobs at him lol
lol, yes. That.
Shanes voice when he realized oppossums died.. I could feel his heart break.
Possums are kinda sweet
Possums are little sweethearts, they're great. Practically never carry rabies. Cute little fellas
@@DeadInside-ew8qbtheyre very cool. they dont eat a bunch of ticks like we thought but they almost never get rabies due to their lower body temperature being unsuitable for the virus. saddest thing is their lifespans are really short, even compared to other animals their size
@@ashleyjohnson9651Do you have any sources for them not eating ticks like we thought? All I can find is research concluding that they do eat a LOT of ticks each tick season
@@ghoultooth basically the initial study they did was flawed in a huge way and fueled by a lot of assumptions on the scientists part. ticks went missing on opossums they were observing and they just assumed the opossums ate them. and when studying the stomachs of like 30 wild possums, no ticks or tick parts at all were found in any of their stomachs. just look up "opossum eating ticks false", and you'll find the articles im talking about. youtube auto deletes any links so i cant post them here :(
theyre still cool little guys
its not that they never ever eat ticks but it isnt a significant part of their diet by any means, no more than it would be for any other small animal
I grew up living directly next to a military installation, and I remember them "testing" and sometimes there would be a green fog hanging over my neighborhood. Like a legit very green very thick fog. I asked my mom like hey should we be worried about this? And she would just shrug and be like that's the military lol
The military was and is most definitely doing things and not telling us or warning us.
military being very active in an area where they normally never are, in some remote area with not even 700 people living there. then a few days later everyone finds weird and gross shit, just to become SUPER sick for a few months, and to NEVER get an answer. Please... that screams US military. I know nature can produce some weird stuff, but atleast when nature does it we always figure out why later down the line. When the something strange happens around US military installations we NEVER get an answer. Hmmm.
Omg are you okay?
jesus
i hope your health is doing well o m f g
That's most likely just green smoke they use in excercises. Sometimes, they're so thick that they travel and linger for a while in the air.
I think these are salamander eggs. There's a specific genus of salamander that doesn't have a nucleus in their red blood cells and are found in PNW. Plus these eggs can contain a toxins that cause symptoms similar to what was seen in town. Also, scientists still don't know the chemical makeup of the jelly surrounding the eggs, which would make sense as to why they couldn't identify them. It's possible eggs got swept up in a waterspout (like fish raining in texas) - everything would fit. Hope this doesn't get lost in the fray!
The sponsorship being a whole callback to Shane’s old video 😭 I never expected Professor Morris Ashley to make a come back, but I’m certainly pleasantly surprised!
I started screaming I was so excited man
Shane looks so young in the original, who knew 16 years later the professor would show up in this ad!! Absolutely hilarious callback. 😂
I KNEW I RECOGNIZED HIM
Literally the only other person i know of who wears two pairs of glasses at the same time EXCEPT for my husband
What was the callback to?
I’m a molecular/cell biology and biotechnology student and just based on this video alone, without doing any other research, I believe that the blob could be some type of slime mold, fungus, bacteria and/or a mix of these (similar to lichen). The paramecium they showed can cause pneumonia, so that with a mix of preexisting conditions that the lady may have had could easily cause her symptoms to be worse. Ear infections can cause dizziness, headaches and nausea, so the doctor saying that isn’t outrageous. Another thing I found odd was when the biologist said that eukaryotic cells are a in “most” animals. Eukaryotic cells are in all animals. There are 3 domains that all living things are categorized in: bacteria, archaea, and eukarya. Animals are under the domain eukarya, meaning that they are eukaryotic. With all that being said, it’s really unfortunate that they don’t have the blobs anymore. With the technology that we have access to today, it would have been fascinating to do genome analysis and comparisons.
I agree! My mind immediately went to a bacteria or mold. Something small enough to show up as cells in labs, but also able to coagulate and cause a mild/moderate sickness to people predisposed. Also interesting that touching the blobs seemed to cause more severe symptoms just like bacteria!
It is terrible to base any decision off of what happened to her. All of those symptoms could have been from other things.
We'd need to know what symptoms/sicknesses were of higher prevalence directly after the precipitation. There might not have even been any since it seems like the only sources mentioned were somewhat unreliable. When weird things happen people can start making unjustified links to other things such as the cause of their [normal] sickness.
@@MsHojatAlso, the main symptoms reported were... fatigue and nausea. The two most generic and commonly claimed symptoms imaginable. That combined with the convenient fact that not a single sample remains from such a strange one off occurrence certainly leaves me skeptical.
It's been mumblecough years since I've taken a biology type class, so I could be way off, but the first thing I thought of was agarose gel and the stuff at the bottom of petri dishes (did a google, it's agar). Weather phenomenon occurs over a place that handles bio-hazardous waste disposal, picks up light weight gels covered in God knows what, winds break them into tiny chunks and carries them away to fall on a random small town.
wouldnt you be able to tell from putting it under a microscope that its a fungus? I imagine fungus cells look quite different from animal cells..
There was something notably chaotic, whimsical, and goofy about this episode. Big fan of this vibe.
It's the movie refrences
I study ecology and a big part of that is seeing how environmental toxins affect the human body. Unfortunately, a lot of these toxins are a result of industrial & military waste and end up causing widespread illness and animal death. There are numerous cases of communities experiencing devastating health consequences and the industries and corporations easily cover them up or are never held accountable. That would be my theory since it matches other cases of environmental contamination
OAKVILLE WASHINGTON MENTIONED!!! SHOUTOUT TO THE WOODEN BIGFOOT STATUE!!!
fun fact the town motto is "acorns."
amazing
There's a wooden Bigfoot statue in Boone, NC too. Big whoop
Seattle bitch we own your state
That’s such a good motto
Not even, "Acorns are good," just .... "acorns"?
These sponsorship ads just keep getting better and better, first sexy saxophone and now professor rapping Shane?? 😂
Shane finally was able to reveal his true demon age and put it to good use in that ad. Don’t worry Shane! Just cause you’re old doesn’t mean we don’t love you buddy!
@@D44RK_Iced_YogsI am a few years older than Shane and now I am offended!
I'll just say it. Shane looks hot as an old timey professor.
for once I'm actually watching the ads
@@drphilscrustyphadussy9769same theyre so good
The fact that the WA department of health turned around and said they don’t have a record of receiving the blobs makes me go hard for theory #4
It’s sort of hilarious that a guy who believes in ghosts and aliens visiting earth thinks a large school of jellyfish being exploded to bits and raining down is absurd.
"Eukaryotic cells, found in most animals" Someone inform the biologist that that is literally the domain animals are in, eukaryotes. Plants, fungi, animals, and Protista are all eukaryotic. All these things have that cell type.
To be fair, I think that was an addition by Ryan to quickly explain what they are rather than a statement from the biologist
@@adrianhultman6236 that's a fair assumption!
@@MicrowaveOvenVideo whatre the other cells called? I thought there was like 2 groups but i dont remember shit and dont wanna look stuff up lol
Eukaryotes and prokaryotes
@@corvusmurphy863 thank you!
I like Shane’s initial theory, some sort of waste mixed with water, i was thinking a dead whale or something, and it just got carried with the storm process
@@darthkai8242 That is absolutely disgusting.
Yes it is. But lets look at the alternative: they wait until the airplane lands, and they dipose of the thousand pounds of waste.... In landfills. Not much cleaner. Feces is feces. Is there a cleaner way of getting rid of it? @@diefluchendehexe5775
@@diefluchendehexe5775Yes it is. But then, there's a lot of human waste that are tossed into landfills. Not much cleaner. Is there a better way for getting rid of a thousand pounds of waste?
@@darthkai8242I thought 74Gear debunked this myth… I can’t remember the video..
it just seems hard to believe there’s a “dump the dumps” lever or button in the cockpit…
Sure, maybe when the first transatlantic flights and all occurred in the mid 1900’s… but now? I feel like there’d be agencies that clamp down on such activity.
Yet again… a door plug fuckin flew off of an Alaska air… so… who am I to say anything lol.
We had something like this in Colorado last year when it rained a lot I’m pretty it’s a step of fungus
Whenever I hear the phrase "from the Creepy to the Truly Bizzare, and Everything In Between" I'm like... does that include, like, really normal stuff, too? Will we get a Mystery Files video of "Where do your socks really go after the dryer monster has eaten them?" or "Why do people rush to get in front of you and then go as slooooow assss posssibbbbllllleeee?"
Ryan repeating the "cork board time? Blair Witch it behind the projection screen" gag was wonderful.
10:08 "Well, maybe it kill animal because animal small"
"So it may kill me but it may not kill you"
"I don't think it would kill you, you're big enough"
Awwww
"You're a big guy" let's all just quote the entirety of the video
@@raine-time "You're a big guy"
Their verbiage in that part was enjoyable
The biggest mystery file should be why Ryan and Shane do not have a movie commentary series when they have quoted approximately 10,000 of them over the last 7+ years.
Mystery Science Theatre 4000
This was the episode I was waiting for!! The "blobs" also happened in my old home town in Canada, back around... 2002/2003. I was interning at our local paper when it happened. It was never resolved and oddly enough, no one seems to ever talk about it but I remember because the paper wrote an article about it while I was there. Trying to find that information on the internet is impossible, I don't know why. I clearly remember writing the story and seeing the blobs in my backyard. They were larger then rice, about the size of your thumb and I don't think they made anyone sick like they did here. The strangest part about it was it only happened in my town, despite our town being so close to others and either they absorbed into the soil or rain washed them all away.
Have you ever read Book of the Damned by Charles Fort?
No other aound on earth brings me greater joy than hearing Ryan’s fear-giggle every time he anticipates Shane’s antics 🤣💜💕💜💕🙌🏾
PNW mysteries are the best because they are so unhinged. You've got bigfoot, skyblobs, bandage men, haunted hot spring resorts, its nutty and I love it.
Don't forget the time we pranked the world into thinking we had tree octopus
The giant fuzzy water snakes that are possibly actually river otters doing conga lines, all the ufos in the eastern dessert areas, Sharlie the Payette lake monster, the deer woman, all the severely haunted buildings ghost towns and abandoned mines, and MY FRIEND Jake the Alligator Man
There's a reason Gravity Falls was set here. It's a documentary and the rest of the world just hasn't realized yet. I wasn't familiar with the blobs incident, but the title could've been a current news headline and I still wouldn't have batted an eye
We also had a lot of famous serial killers here too.
I wish that the story about the creepy mausoleum in Friday harbor was more well covered; it’s a concrete table and chairs set up with the dead family’s ashes inside the material used to make it, and all the ghost stories associated with it.
I’m starting to think they are choosing these stories based on what they can use as an excuse to throw random stuff at each other and i am here for it. Ryan was so happy to dump gelatinous blobs on Shane. You go dude, find your bliss.
Watching this white a heavy heart
That photo of a mountain Ryan points to as Somerset, UK, could not be less like the landscape in Somerset! It is a flood plains! (I live nearby.)
Apart from that tiny gripe - I really love your work fellas! Love to see Watcher thriving.
"Somerset, England. Which is right there" * points to Mt. Rainier in Washington * lmaooooo
Thought it was Rainier. It sure looks like it.
@@K.Truong I thought that too at first lmao, had to give it a closer look
@@jarnold1789 you know, I forgot you could look at mountains from different angles for a minute there. You’re totally right
I'm dying laughing. 😂
WHAT ON EARTH I WAS SO CONFUSED!!!!! That’s Mount Adams!!! Ryan what are you talking about???
I can't tell if they are good friends, bitter enemies, or friendly rivals. But their chemistry just works in this show.
All three are probably correct
@@digitalsoop They are in a laugh or death struggle to be the funny one of a pair of entertainers.
Depends on the time of day😂😂
All these years and they’re still my OTP
Haha they're so random and quirky. Just like me!
Ill miss this , gonna go ahead and try to binge what i missed living the parent life. But fuckkk its hard knowung how it ends. Freshman highschool me would be in tears ...smh wel miss you, OG ghoul boys.
Idk who these guys are now
Something I think that should have been addressed more in this video is stuff that absolutely isn't supposed to rain absolutely does fairly often. Blood, Frogs, there are recorded instances of a lot.
as a lifelong washingtonian, this is EVERYTHING to me. i’ve been obsessed w this story since i first heard about it and i’m so glad it made it onto watcher radar. it doesn’t get talked about as much as it should imho
Hi neighbor! *waves from Olympia*
Sky jellies.
💚I’m from Washington and never heard this story wtf?!?!💚
DUUUDE i had the same reaction !!!! I’ve always thought this story was so neat since I was like. Little.
I remember reading this. I remember the theory it was a military experiment to control weather, like to dry up clouds.
You gotta love how immediately concerned shane was for the possums.
he’s a regular ol’ Benjamin Harrison, friend of the opossum
I wasn't exactly sure who you were talking about until I googled him and found an awesome photo of Benjamin Harrison with a Possum on his shoulder. I wasn't able to attach it but if you want to see it a quick google search will do the trick.@@CantTellYou
our world is so weird there’s so many things i would never know until watcher came around😭
The Cheese Wheel! I’ve never heard anyone else use that reference, Robin Williams Live, great performance god rest his soul!
Omg these blobs have been in my yard 2 times in the last 15 years! I had no idea about this story. I asked the Oregon Mycology Club and they told me that they are aware of them but that they are a mystery and nobody really knows what they are. Mycologists sometimes call them “star jelly “. There is a type of slime fungus that is clear but this stuff is not that. I also reported it to the Oregon Health Dept. and they also didn’t know anything. I have a bunch of huge fir and cedar trees in my yard and the jelly only appeared after heavy rain. I wondered if it came out of my trees. I handled it quite a bit and did NOT get sick.
Yeah imo, in our post-covid world, it's not hard to see how nearly everyone in a small town could become sick with the same flu over a couple of weeks. And if people were getting together to discuss the blobs more than they might've normally gotten together, bingo bango, you got yourself super-spreading event.
This makes me wonder if it might be related to the tree sap?
Might be rain that causes the mold to spread off the trees and if they had all the same trees in the area all infected with the same mold then it probably possible
@@xraystyle00The illness had essentially a 100% infection rate. Not even covid 19, which is considered a highly contagious virus, had an infection rate of 100%. It's far more likely the jelly that landed on this town specifically had pathogens in it and they got all over the place and made everyone sick.
Wait, is there really no mention of the idea that it was, like, a factory dumping out chemicals in the water that then turned into rain? That seems super logical to me.
Same - I paused a few minutes in to check out the Superfund sites in Washington State.
That's kind of what Shane was saying at around 11:05, right? That something ended up in the water cycle and caused the blobs.
Same! Either a factory or some sort of medical research facility. That feels like the most obvious explanation to me
Yeah I feel pretty confident it was something like this
Definitely biohazard waste in water ways that entered the water cycle. Happens more than we know I'm sure.
Your discussion was highly engaging and the theories you brought up were really intriguing, especially the one linking the blobs to military activity. Definitely a case of the truth being potentially stranger than fiction.
This Video Format is like sitting down with friends
As someone from Somerset England, seeing ryan point to a snowcapped mountain made me crease
Same
Very famous for our beautiful rolling mountain ranges lol
Came here, looking for THIS comment. 😂
I’m actually pretty sure that was a photo of Mt. Rainier, here in Washington
A show where Ryan and Shane hide in a basement laughing like hyenas and yelling at each other about conspiracy theories really lets me know I’ve found my community 😂
I actually remember doing research on the toxic blobs myself! So fun to see Ryan and Shane do an episode with it!!!
Holy cow! There was a commercial right after “The Dark Knight Rises” reference! Perfect timing! I had just enough time to rewatch!
21:48 Somerset England looks surprisingly similar to Mt Rainer in Washington.
As someone living in Somerset England, I can categorically state that is NOT Somerset England hahaha.
I love that you are doing these deep dives! They have been hitting on the random stories that you can only find snippets of online/ in podcasts so I am hella impressed at what you can find
Never thought I'd hear them name drop Bournemouth while I'm in it.
When you open RUclips at exactly 3 and have to refresh 20 times to get the video to pop up 😅
THAT WAS ME TWO MINUTES AGO 😭
It’s 9pm here so I have been waiting for this all day 😭
Lol it's noon here
Just search it nxt time smrt guy
Ok.
16:02 I appreciate Ryan’s trust in our current scientific capabilities. It’s possible scientists could have identified jellyfish bits 30 years ago, but I think Shane’s left nipple remains beyond the reach of even modern medical science.
yess so happy, ive been itching for a new ep of mystery files!!! I just discovered the channel a few days ago and binged every episode same with ghost files!
Yessss, I've always wanted more answers about this case
watcher is the only channel that i don’t skip through the adds for. the extra effort they put in to even make the sponsors entertaining is awesome. good work, boys!
Shane shaking the blobs off like a dog 😭
I’m from Oakville, WA!!!! I never thought Watcher would do something featuring my tiny town. My whole life I’ve been hearing about these blobs, I was born in 2002. Love you guys over at Watcher, keep up the awesome videos 🩷
Ryan pointing to “Somerset, England” at 21:47. Sir, that is a picture of Mount Rainier from the Puget Sound in Washington State.
21:44 I can tell you, *unequivocally,* that that is *not* Somerset in England! We don't have mountains like that in England! I'm guessing that someone just did an image search for Somerset and chose a picture of one of the Canadian Somersets without checking!
Yeah, exactly. While we do have some mountains, they certainly are snowy-topped huge ones like that 😂
It was a picture or MT. Rainier in Washington State
@@ghoultooth ill try here instead.
put in Opossums Ticks False and hopefully that will show you the articles
if we believe in the mountains hard enough maybe they'll grow
@@kilobuckettheyre just older mountains 😂 elderly Mountains shrink over time
The chaos of this episode is off the charts and I’m loving it
Thank you for the small references to the drone targetting issue
You have so much fun together guys, love watching your shenanigans. God bless you both. ❤
Prof Morris Ashley is the earliest of early call-backs!
This has been the most insane episode. They were both so giggly and having so much fun throughout the video, it warms my heart.
I love these guys, genuinely friends on and off camera
Somerset mentioned! That picture is definitely not somerset though lol.
The weird throat noises were a great intro for this episode 😅
i wish i was a toxic blob
Have you tried LoL?
whoa whoa, I think suggesting that counts as some kind of war crime@@JaniceParker-re7ty
same, but just the blob
You can do it. I believe in you.

I grew up watching buzz feed unsolved, you have no idea how happy it makes me to see you guys back together covering my favorite creepy sh!t
Can’t explain the excitement I get every time I open YT and see anew upload from watcher/watcher podcast. Thank you guys ❤
I love the big sibling energy of Ryan just legging it when Shane gets up while holding the blobs
"Nothing makes me wanna trust you more than you saying, trust me.". Man, do I feel that so hard lmfao. Whenever a friend says that don't, just don't. It's usually your sign to decline whatever it is. 😂
I lost it at "It should be illegal."
Somewhere in an alternate universe, Senator Madej is out there passing legislation on amphibians...
i haven't been caught up in watcher content in like six months so to come back and witness the beauty of that sponsorship is a real treat for the senses. 10/10.
As someone from Washington, I can confirm weird shit happens in Washington
Twilight 🖤
@@kirstenrissling879 no 😭
Sometimes I forget Ryan and Shane are film bros ™️ until we have an episode like this
I respect that they make their sponsor adds fun to watch.
I know it was a bit but I did actually go watch Bowfinger when you told me too and that was a real solid recommendation actually, thank you.
Im also going with military. The military have been trying for decades to "seed" clouds to encourage rain for droughts. Now as to the actual substances idk. Why test it in a place that literally get feet of rain per year idk. But the idea of a fighter jet just dropping tons of Orbeez into a cloud over the cascades gives me a little chuckle.
They achieved it now. There’s some videos online of them making clouds
That ad was a fever dream...... I loved it
Not sure if the US just has better equipped small town labs, but as someone that works in a lab at small town hospital in Canada, we would have no way of examining something like this besides putting it under the microscope with a 100x magnification lens. Yes, you can see white blood cells under that, but I would question if they stained the blobs with hematology stain to positively ID the white blood cells, or if they just did a wet prep which leaves cells and particles colourless in the liquid sample. Identifying weird blobs is not on our lab license, so that would get sent out to a referral lab really quick.
Found this channel recently, but I've been catching up on the back catalog at work today, and I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!
😂
this might be the best sponsor advert ive ever seen. shane slayed that. 10/10
Watcher Boys and Ollie from KE vying for most bizarre ad placements ever
They spoke to my ADHD side and I ended up putting Bowfinger on and got distracted watching it for over 15 mins until I remembered what led me to it. Thank you guys for that. 🤣
Well, I just rewatched an ad. Definitely the greatest in history.
The way I forgot it was Watcher Friday until now!! I'm so excited to watch this
Military activity makes the most sense. Cloud seeding has been a thing for a while now, and the bacteria found in the blobs are thought to cause pnumonia. Military was probably testing if they could get a city full of people sick, and the blobs were an unexpected chemical formation.
Wasn't there an experiment like that done with fog in San Francisco?
Nah the blobs were the carrier of the pathogens obviously. Chosen for specific reasons, possibly its ability to protect and spread microbes. That's probably what they were testing like you said. How to spread pathogens everywhere. The jelly was what spread it around everywhere.
@@rowanmiller6035yup there was! Although at the time they didnt think that specific bacteria could get people sick and were checking wind patterns or something (they were very, very wrong about the first part).
That transition from Shane licking his lips to the Mystery Files opening is fantastic
This episode has the best energy yet! Keep killin it boys!
Amazing video! Love their chemistry, and they have the best sponsored ads. The callback especially takes the cake!
A visit from Professor Morris Ashley after all these years?? We are truly blessed

as a resident of somerset england i have no idea where that photo was taken but it was absolutely not here
Does anyone else just love the intro to this show? The question marks and the music get me way excited to watch this.
I love the sponsership bits. Them being “little video tapes” is perfect
I wouldn’t be surprised if the mass sickness was some sort of mass hysteria caused by a few ppl coincidentally getting sick shortly after the blobs fell. A town that small would probably be pretty close knit so they’re more likely to experience a mass hallucination.
how far you guys and your humor has come is god tier
