There was another story of a woman found in an hotel room in Norway, with a gunshot wound in her head, allegedly self inflicted, with fake address, no identification, all clothes tag removed. It is still a mystery how she was able to rent a room in an exclusive hotel, especially in a moment of tight security due to some VIP guests, with no ID. I think that from the investigation it came out it was probable the “suicide” was staged and she was murdered because she was a spy. I think it was named Jennifer Fairgate and it was 1995.
Oh yeah, Netflix covered this story on a documentary show, Unsolved Mysteries, it’s a really good show and has three seasons. Man that story was so weird.
There's also an Australian man - well a man found on a beach in south Australia - well dressed in a suit, dead, unknown cause i think, all labels removed from clothing etc, around the 60s/70s.
i badly want to quote hitchiker's guide to the galaxy here but i can not remember the exact wording. Point was that we observe reality through random set of random criteria and call it scieence.
As a swede, I'm super stoked to see you telling the story of Fet-Mats! I've been thinking about recommending Falu copper mine for a long time, as the mine overall is really interesting! It's marked as a world heritage site these days, and during the middle ages provided 2/3rds of all copper in europe. There's a little bit more to Fet-Mats' story at the end too, after being on display for a while he was buried a first time and his remains were moved a few times. Then his remains were exhumed in 1862 and put in a wooden box and put in the church's attic, then completely forgotten about, re-discovered years later when the church was being renovated. Then his bones were put back on display in the mine's museum for a while, and then finally buried for good as mentioned in the video. Poor guy's finally put to rest! (Also when his wife saw his body, she exclaimed "That's my Mats") Other facts about the mines are the way it looks, as in the photo at 6.49, while it might just look like a steep hill at first, it's a giant pit that's about 100 m deep and 1½ km across. In the mid 1600s the top floor of the mine completely collapsed, making the pit as it is now. Surprisingly not a single person was injured or hurt, because it happened to be on midsummers eve, one of the few days of the year where everyone had the day off to celebrate, completely avoiding a massive horrible disaster had it been on any other day! Fet-Mats was also not the only one to ride the bucket down, it was quite common. They would try to maximize the amount of people to go at once to be more effecient, so each man would stand on the edge of the bucket, and only with one foot and keep one hand on the rope (I think it would be about 8 men at a time? been a while since last time I was on one of the tours). As the bucket went down, they would rock back and forth so the bucket swung close to the tunnel opening for every floor, and the men would simply jump off the bucket into whichever floor they worked on. If you missed, you'd fall all the way to the bottom (rip), but actually happened very rarely. The mine also has one of those massive bells that chimes every few seconds (still used today!) that's connected to the water pumps, meaning if you no longer hear it you need to leave ASAP as the pumps have stopped working and the mine will start filling back up with water. The mine is still in use today (it's absolutely massive, it goes real fucking deep) and they do guided tours too. Even tho you don't go super deep (something less than a 100 m), the dugouts are massive and there's tunnels everywhere. Their website is a bit lacking in english which is unfortunate, because it's got a really long and super cool history!
Hey I think I can offer up a clue on the Isdahl Woman: eczema cream could contain a compound called DMSO that smells like garlic. It is an INCREDIBLY strong smelling substance that absolutely would be able to be picked up by another person. Perhaps that could narrow down the manufacturer of the cream, or the doctor who prescribed it
I've been binge watching House lately and I was sure I'd heard something about people smelling like garlic! They have an episode about this (or at least they mention it) somewhere during season 1.
I'm Swedish. The story of the goat and the copper ore is a famous old legend. The Nobel Prize-winning author Selma Lagerlöf tells a charming version of the story in a book for school children about Sweden ("The wonderful journey of Nils Holgersson"). A short version of the saga: A farmer was gathering the livestock and noticed that one goat had red-coloured horns. He asked the shepherdess about it. "He's been coming home looking like that all summer", she said. "He must think it looks grand. I have scrubbed him clean but he runs off and gets them red again the next day." "Well, scrub him again. I want to see how he does it", the farmer said. The shepherdess scrubbed the horns clean, and the goat immediately ran off into the forest. The farmer followed, and discovered the goat standing by a couple of red stones, rubbing his horns against them. The farmer picked up some of the red stones, smelled and tasted the stuff, and thought it must be some kind of ore. Suddenly a large rock came flying and landed on the goat, killing him. The farmer looked up and saw a giant woman on the cliffs above. She was picking up another huge rock and preparing to throw it. "What are you doing?" shouted the farmer. "I've never done anything to harm you or your kin." "I know that" said the giant. "But I have made a promise to kill everyone who discovers my copper mountain." She sounded really sad and seemed unwilling to throw the rock and kill him. The farmer saw a possibility of saving his life and started talking to her. She told him that her father had been very rich. She and her sister had inherited some mountains with copper ore from him. When he was about to die he had divided the mountains into two lots. He made the daughters promise to never let anyone know about the copper ore, and to kill anyone who found it.The older sister was mean and hard and had no problem promising. The younger sister was milder and hesitated before making the promise. She got the small part since the father thought she was weak and untrustworthy. The other sister got twice as much. "I'm so tired of killing all the innocent people who find the copper," said the giant woman. "But I made a promise, and I must keep it." And she prepared to throw the rock. "Wait!" said the farmer. "You don't have to kill me. It was the goat that found your copper, and you've already killed him. You have kept your promise". The giant was relieved to be rid of her gruesome promise, and the wise farmer became the first miner of the great copper mountain. But to this day, people continue to search for the other sister's much bigger lot; the giant copper ore treasure of the Falun mountain...
it's an interesting bit of culture and im glad you shared it but man that is so much more complicated than "yo that goat looks weird, let's dig around until we find what it ate" lmao
In the 2nd story when you talked about the handwriting analysis and them narrowing down areas just based on her lower cursive "t", shows how much investigators can learn just from someone's handwriting. It's incredible. Reminds me of a case that was solved in Florida where all the info they had on the murderer was his handwriting. The detectives were so desperate to solve the case, that they posted a billboard showing a picture of his handwriting and asked if anyone could identify it. Amazingly a woman had recently had a handyman come to her home to do some work and the bill he wrote her matched the suspects. Then found him and arrested him. Even the smallest of details can be an excellent clue.
Was that the case of the dude that threw three women overboard off his boat and the only evidence was some directions he'd written on a brochure? If so, I remember seeing that on Forensic Files
@@bunnyluver2176 it’s not pseudoscience. You can deduce real info from that. Case in point all the Isdal woman stuff. You can compare handwriting samples to see if your suspect matches the evidence. You can look for trends in how they write. Lots of people have little patterns or things that they subconsciously/automatically do as part of their handwriting that they’d never think about, but to an investigator would absolutely stick out as a unique identifier. Some people dot and cross letters in a weird way (I know someone who writes the letter X in one motion), some people write particular letters a certain way, some people write letters and words really close together while others are more spacious, some write big and others write small, some write really light and others write with a lot of pressure, lines of writing might gradually slope up, etc. The point of handwriting analysis is to pick up on THAT stuff. The really subtle stuff that people do when writing
Your Isdal Woman segment is Mariana Trench level deep- thank you for making it, I learned so much more details I hadn't heard in other youtube content creators coverage. Thanks again!
If she's buried in zinc for preservation, surely they could collect a DNA sample now? With the rise of genealogy tests, it is possible a distant relative has their DNA on record somewhere.
@@drakesmith471 I worked in local news for three years and saw my city's oldest unsolved murder, the victim of which was a 9-year-old girl, solved 62 years later thanks to forensic analysis of preserved DNA. And hers wasn't the only unsolved case. There were two other solved murders and one identified John Doe whose case was well-known in the area. And that was just in three years. We're not a super large city, so it is possible to do even with limited funds and a backlog. For cases like this Jane Doe's, whose unusual death has captivated a broad international audience, I suspect the public pressure will get through eventually.
@@drakesmith471 The Zodiac Killer is still classified as open and unsolved by authorities, and I wasn't able to find which lab or company carried out the analysis for the nonprofit Case Breakers, who submitted an alleged sample for testing. So I don't know if it is 23 and Me or an official forensics lab like Othram Inc. I could probably sort through more sources and dig it up, but I don't work in journalism anymore, and it is 12:30 in the morning rn. So mayhaps another time ~ I will say, it is not uncommon now for cold cases to be solved by happenstance through companies like 23 and Me when a relative of the suspect does a test for fun and it matches closely with previously unknown DNA. So that's definitely an interesting development in cold cases. For my part, my sisters and I found and met our long lost half-sister when I gifted my older sister a kit for her birthday. I now have bragging rights for life to the best birthday present, because I gave a whole ass sibling as a bonus. That was pretty neat. :)
@Becky_G I’ve read up on this case a lot over the years. I’d love to say she was a secret spy and she died due to espionage. Unfortunately, the truth is more than likely very different. Due to accounts of her behavior, personal hygiene, patterns of speaking, interactions with others, etc. it seems she was paranoid schizophrenic. A very sad case, indeed.
But it doesn't seem like she was ever a spy at all. This is simply so unprofessional that even I, myself, could do better. To be honest, it sounds a lot more like mental illness, especially the parts about room-hopping and leaving a chair outside the room. The only part that isn't (necessarily) related to mental illness is the part where 2 men are allegedly chasing after the woman, but even that can't be confirmed. Of course, she could have otherwise just been a horrible spy, which is why this case garners so much attention, I'm sure. I suppose we'll never know for sure. The only part of that case I slightly disagree with is the part where handwriting doesn't change. My handwriting has undergone several changes through the years, and it only stabilized a year or two ago (I'm in my late 20s).
@@charlotteforbes2090there's also the circumstances surrounding her death, and the fact that the government stopped the police from continuing the investigation. Plus, how many people have the resources to obtain seven different passports? She may not have been a spy, but there's more to this than mental illness.
@@charlotteforbes2090I don't think the argument was that handwriting doesn't change, but more so aspects of it. Of course her handwriting could look drastically different to when she was younger, but aspects such as the T they used for example, could remain
Spy or not, to me it always felt like the Isdal woman was running away from someone. They eventually identified the Somerton Man, so there is hope I guess...
Maybe, but having worked in psychiatry, some “normal” people DO have episodes where their “paranoia/they are all after me” brain center misfires. I have seen it in patients in liver failure, then lifted after a procedure to help the liver issue, or some who smoke mj or meth, who get paranoia as a side effect. Or it seems to just happen at times….few talk about it, but it’s more common than most think. Many, MANY missing persons cases begin with the person being vague that someone is after them (but don’t go to police and can’t explain who) and acting oddly, then running or driving off….then found dead later. It could be they ran from a threat, but likewise just that they had a psychotic episode where they can’t think straight, and eventually run into a random criminal who takes advantage of their impaired situation. Have seen many times where a person dies this, but is found, and once better, have no real threat they have to worry about,,,,it was just a neuropsych issue. I have never seen a single case where it turned out they were fleeing something real. So, could be she ran from a real threat, but maybe not as well.
@@Itried20takennames True, but if we assume the hotel staff remembered correctly it's strange that she's having dinner with military personnel that's a bit weird. Besides how many of your psychiatric patients had 7 different passports? It's not impossible of course, it's all just very sketchy, especially when you consider the police was pretty much forced to not go all in on solving this mystery by their own intelligence agency and how they were adamant it was self inflicted despite evidence suggesting that wasn't the case (even ruling out murder before the final autopsy and toxicology reports was even performed). I don't know man, seems a bit more than just a mentally ill woman, it's all a bit too strange
@@uuuuNB Exactly, the meeting with two german navy officers and that the investigation was stopped by norways intelligence agency seems very wierd if she had "only" mental problems. Man what would i give to know what happend there. She was also burned alive and the cannister was not found, so what criminal would do something like this, isnt it easier to shoot or stab the victim? Cant imagine what those detectives had to go through after hearing they wont get any answers after such a wierd case, where they came closer and closer but suddenly get stoped by thier own government.
Seems pretty cause and effect to me. They were right that the goat looked that way because of copper, so why is it odd that they found copper in the vicinity?
The Belgian woman wasn't a spy, she was handler or recruiter. She traveled around collecting info from and directing her spy network. Spys don't move much, so she went to them
I really appreciate you labeling the AI photos as such. As much as I don’t like AI, I understand why people use it, and it means a lot when people are honest and don’t try to take credit for the art they use.
Funny how the art wouldn't exist without the human, but the human can't use it without telling you credit to the A.I.? AI photos for a piece of work you created and narrated yourself is not the same as A.I. generated content. A.I. photos are way more personal than stock photos, the dude actually had to tell the computer what to make. Now, if you generate a single image and try to pass that as your art, now that's something else. But when it's blended with original content like this, what does it matter to you? Please explain this to me?
@@SanchoPanza-m8m read my comment, maybe? This is not art, this is content and these are video graphics. Graphics for video have been generated by software for over a decade already. Again, this is not art, nor did the OP try to portray this as art. So, what the hell are you talking about?
The second story about the woman with nothing to identify her with reminded me a lot of the Somerton man. (They actually discovered his identity though back in 2022 using DNA. I wonder if they could do the same for this woman, somehow).
@@HappySmilingDog-d7uactually it turned out he wasn’t. just a poor man who wanted to vanish. had some close relatives btw they later revealed his photos and bio too.
15:23 My life goal is to eat so much garlic that when i disappear, people will be like "oh yeah, that person with the garlic stank, we know who you're talking about" 😂😂😂😂
I wonder if the woman was in the early days of witness protection - perhaps for war crimes/info. Not a spy per se, but was valuable to the military because of what she knew. This would explain several identities (in case she was discovered, she could change and disappear again quickly) but her medications were scrubbed as they may have had her real name, the blunt force trauma and attempted burning may have been torture for info... and meetings with military officials. Just a theory 🤔🤷♀️
bro, your editing keeps getting smoother and smoother, as a long time subscriber i gotta congratulate you for being that consistent while also getting better! thx fo that!
The second story is a spy assassination story, and I still can't believe people break their minds and wonder what happened to an interesting person like her. And naturally it's being obscured and people who had a say at court strongly denied espionage involvement and then changed their mind, like that alone is the biggest red flag right there without knowing the full context.
I think the second case was a woman who possibly was a free lance spy. That would explain her spy behaviors but without any professional training. Maybe she contacted the government to tell them some information she discovered and they took her out.
I was so sure too, but now that I’ve had some time to think about it, why would a spy agency leave her on such a condition out in the wild? Wouldnt it make much more sense to burn all of her belongings and bury the body or something? I was really married to the idea of spy but now im just not sure
Very weird feeling to click on a random Scary Interesting video and the first story being about your town. Super weird to see a map of streets you’re very familiar with in a freaking RUclips video
The second story about the unknown woman was fascinating. You obviously did a lot of research and did a fine job composing the story from the facts. If you ever learn the solution to the mystery, please revisit this video and let us know. 👀As an aside, the photos you used were gorgeous, and I want to visit Bergen and the rest of Norway on the next boat that sails.😊
With a bunch of wigs and non prescription glasses, a coded book, changing names, and scratching out all identifying factors including company brands, I'd be willing to bet that the second woman had a delusion disorder and believed that people were after her, that she had information nobody else did, that companies were controlling people, or that she was a spy, or some combination.
I have thought that. She ticks all the boxes of a paranoid schizophrenic with depression. Cutting labels out, using fake names, using cryptic notes only she understands, it all seems like she thought she was being chased or watched. It feels like she was trying to escape someone or something and decided to end it to 'get away from them'. And to commit suicide so spectacularly, no way she was a spy. Spies never get burned to death in a public place, it's too visible. They're usually just shot or poisoned.
She would have had to have a LOT of money, and people with psychosis have a hard time with steady employment. She would have also needed a way to get all those fake passports and so psychosis isn't on the list for me. Plus this was a long time ago, would have been very difficult. She definitely had help and there was definitely purpose to what she was doing that she wanted to make sure was hidden. Being a spy and murder def is a very likely possibility. Or maybe she worked for an organization or government and there were highly classified projects she was involved with.
@JessaLynnC yes my thoughts exactly! and if that were the case, wouldn't you think at least someone would have recognized her or at least reported her missing? that's the one thing I find troubling about the psychosis theory. and for all we know, maybe she didn't have friends or family that would report her missing if she left somewhere🤷🏼♀️ the spy theory is far fetched too - I just think she wasn't being inconspicuous like a spy. idk. I will say that I do find it a bit odd how NCIS was so quick to say her death was likely self-inflicted, and even with all the evidence and odd happenings wouldn't reopen the case. that's the thing that I can't get over. it's not impossible she took her own life, but burning to death definitely isn't the quickest or easiest way to go - it just seems like a painful, torturous death which in my mind if you are taking your own life, you end it as quickly and painlessly as possible (again, I could be wrong). someone in a previous comment said there was an ingredient in the eczema cream that gave off a strong garlic smell, which if you're familiar with true crime or just odd deaths in general, the woman who died from spontaneous human combustion also smelled very strongly of garlic. so maybe something similar happened with this lady?!🤔 I'm kinda surprised investigators didn't think of that, but I'm no expert, so there could be reasons why they didn't think of that. I'm not quite sure what to believe happened to her, but with how far along DNA testing and genetic genealogy has become, I wouldn't doubt us seeing her identified within the next 5-10 years.
The story of the woman with no identity reminds me of one episode of Unsolved Mysteries where their was a woman found dead in a hotel and they said it was suicide but the way she was holding the gun and the fact there was no splatter on her hands made that unlikely. She had a fake name as well and no one to this day has ever identified her
She put a chair in front of the door so she would know if someone was in the room waiting, or at least had been in the room, before going in. Take something very small and unnoticeable on the chair like a hair or very tiny item that wouldn't be noticeable. It would be difficult for someone to notice it because they would want to enter the room quickly to not be seen. Depending on how the chair was placed it might have also been impossible to return the chair to its original position while entering the room. It's pretty basic tradecraft but also effective in its simplicity.
Looking like an agent, but being denied that by the country in which she operated? Well, sounds like a double agent working for some country from NATO in order to search for KGB agent (and likely also that she was killed by those agents). That would give Norway the incentive to cover everything up in order to avoid the suspicion of hiring that women to dig for Soviet agents.
Love your videos! Keep up the great work. I don’t usually comment but I do genuinely enjoy your content and wanted to express it! You’re also a big reason I have disabled my ad blocker for specific channels to show my support in ways that I can. Thank you!
I was either thinking of a spy, or purhaps she had some mental illness, that caused her to be so paranoid. Idk how many paranoid people are seen in restaurants with random men🤔. If someone is paranoid, they usually isolate themselves and don't want to socialize..

Running out of stories and turning to Scandinavia for some new material, are we? As a Norwegian, is great too get to hear about some "local" stuff I might've missed out on🙂 More please 😀
Hey! You're talking about the story that I suggested (the first one)! That's amazing, thank you so much for shedding some international light on it! I, myself didn't know about Fet Matts until I moved to Falun. However everyone here seem to know the story. It's super neat to hear you talk about it and you have honestly already taught me some new stuff! Great to feel that your voice is heard out there on the internet ☺
As a Swede I have explore many mines, and I've never heard about Fet Matts. I live in a small mining village, and there's so much stories about similar things. One story I remember was the mines were active, a teen boy working there fell down into the mine, several hundreds of meters. He was never found. I've been to Falun silver mine, it's so coold. Love going into mines!
you could cover the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition lead by Ernest schakleton, but its not really a horrible fate since nobody died, still a great story though
15:22 The year was 1943...my guess is that she was an international covert spy. It makes sense, regarding the lack of labels in the garments. Maybe. Allegedly.
Welp, colour me excited. I was so disappointed when I binged watched all your stuff and finally ran out. These are like Halloween to me, now. (My favorite holiday heh) Keep'm coming!
Imagine the heartbreak of Matts' widow, not being able to bury him and knowing that he was somewhere in a lab being studied like a thing. And she never got to see him buried either, in the end.
But now with genetic Genealogy there really is a shot at identifying the Isdal woman if she had any relatives, close or far, and it is run through multiple European countries. It wouldn’t be easy but it’s possible if they tried hard enough. Also, considering she seems to have been so good at French and German together, I’d say she’s more likely to be from Switzerland, which speaks both as well as Italian. Belgium has French and Dutch, so it doesn’t quite fit, unless she spent time in both France and Germany.
Amazing to hear about a story set in the town I live in! The story as it was told here isn’t the one I’m familiar with. It could very well be that this retelling is closer to the truth given that the story I heard is more fantastical. In that version fet-Mats was believed to have gotten cold feet and abandoned his fiancée. 42 years later, miners found a body they assumed to have died recently and brought it up from the mine. When the body reached ground level it began to dry and became “hard as wood” or “turned to stone”. Rumors about the unknown miner spread in Falun and a crowd gathered but nobody recognized the body. From the crowd an old woman emerged and exclaimed “but that’s my Mats!”. The townsfolk didn’t believe her at first given that they thought he recently died and why would a young man be engaged to an old woman? Fet-Mats was then put on display, then buried under the church floor, then moved to the cemetery, then exhumed and put in a box to be forgotten in the church’s attic, and then lastly buried in the cemetery once again.
Damn, I just calculated the amount of sand I had moved in a single day when you mentioned the tons Fet Matt moved. A whopping 15,5 tons (metric)! I didnt intuitively feel this would be possible, but even a single m³ weighs around 1.5 tons...

As a swede, I'm super stoked to see you telling the story of Fet-Mats! I've been thinking about recommending Falu copper mine for a long time, as the mine overall is really interesting! It's marked as a world heritage site these days, and during the middle ages provided 2/3rds of all copper in europe. There's a little bit more to Fet-Mats' story at the end too, after being on display for a while he was buried a first time and his remains were moved a few times. Then his remains were exhumed in 1862 and put in a wooden box and put in the church's attic, then completely forgotten about, re-discovered years later when the church was being renovated. Then his bones were put back on display in the mine's museum for a while, and then finally buried for good as mentioned in the video. Poor guy's finally put to rest! (Also when his wife saw his body, she exclaimed "That's my Mats")
Other facts about the mines are the way it looks, as in the photo at 6.49, while it might just look like a steep hill at first, it's a giant pit that's about 100 m deep and 1½ km across. In the mid 1600s the top floor of the mine completely collapsed, making the pit as it is now. Surprisingly not a single person was injured or hurt, because it happened to be on midsummers eve, one of the few days of the year where everyone had the day off to celebrate, completely avoiding a massive horrible disaster had it been on any other day! Fet-Mats was also not the only one to ride the bucket down, it was quite common. They would try to maximize the amount of people to go at once to be more effecient, so each man would stand on the edge of the bucket, and only with one foot and keep one hand on the rope (I think it would be about 8 men at a time? been a while since last time I was on one of the tours). As the bucket went down, they would rock back and forth so the bucket swung close to the tunnel opening for every floor, and the men would simply jump off the bucket into whichever floor they worked on. If you missed, you'd fall all the way to the bottom (rip), but actually happened very rarely. The mine also has one of those massive bells that chimes every few seconds (still used today!) that's connected to the water pumps, meaning if you no longer hear it you need to leave ASAP as the pumps have stopped working and the mine will start filling back up with water.
The mine is still in use today (it's absolutely massive, it goes real fucking deep) and they do guided tours too. Even tho you don't go super deep (something less than a 100 m), the dugouts are massive and there's tunnels everywhere. Their website is a bit lacking in english which is unfortunate, because it's got a really long and super cool history!
Thanks for the information on how they use it as an elevator, have only seen them in cartoons.
Thank you for all the cool information!

Same. He’s SO good, and I subscribe to a lot of these.
Hey I think I can offer up a clue on the Isdahl Woman: eczema cream could contain a compound called DMSO that smells like garlic. It is an INCREDIBLY strong smelling substance that absolutely would be able to be picked up by another person. Perhaps that could narrow down the manufacturer of the cream, or the doctor who prescribed it
Thanks for sharing. That’s interesting and makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, it reminded me of the toxic lady
That’s really interesting. I had no idea.
I've been binge watching House lately and I was sure I'd heard something about people smelling like garlic! They have an episode about this (or at least they mention it) somewhere during season 1.
@@erikakraemer6963 could've been liver disease?
Those investigators in the second case were sharp as a tack. The clue analysis was unreal.
I'm Swedish. The story of the goat and the copper ore is a famous old legend. The Nobel Prize-winning author Selma Lagerlöf tells a charming version of the story in a book for school children about Sweden ("The wonderful journey of Nils Holgersson").
A short version of the saga: A farmer was gathering the livestock and noticed that one goat had red-coloured horns. He asked the shepherdess about it. "He's been coming home looking like that all summer", she said. "He must think it looks grand. I have scrubbed him clean but he runs off and gets them red again the next day." "Well, scrub him again. I want to see how he does it", the farmer said. The shepherdess scrubbed the horns clean, and the goat immediately ran off into the forest. The farmer followed, and discovered the goat standing by a couple of red stones, rubbing his horns against them. The farmer picked up some of the red stones, smelled and tasted the stuff, and thought it must be some kind of ore.
Suddenly a large rock came flying and landed on the goat, killing him. The farmer looked up and saw a giant woman on the cliffs above. She was picking up another huge rock and preparing to throw it. "What are you doing?" shouted the farmer. "I've never done anything to harm you or your kin." "I know that" said the giant. "But I have made a promise to kill everyone who discovers my copper mountain." She sounded really sad and seemed unwilling to throw the rock and kill him. The farmer saw a possibility of saving his life and started talking to her.
She told him that her father had been very rich. She and her sister had inherited some mountains with copper ore from him. When he was about to die he had divided the mountains into two lots. He made the daughters promise to never let anyone know about the copper ore, and to kill anyone who found it.The older sister was mean and hard and had no problem promising. The younger sister was milder and hesitated before making the promise. She got the small part since the father thought she was weak and untrustworthy. The other sister got twice as much.
"I'm so tired of killing all the innocent people who find the copper," said the giant woman. "But I made a promise, and I must keep it." And she prepared to throw the rock. "Wait!" said the farmer. "You don't have to kill me. It was the goat that found your copper, and you've already killed him. You have kept your promise".
The giant was relieved to be rid of her gruesome promise, and the wise farmer became the first miner of the great copper mountain. But to this day, people continue to search for the other sister's much bigger lot; the giant copper ore treasure of the Falun mountain...
it's an interesting bit of culture and im glad you shared it but man that is so much more complicated than "yo that goat looks weird, let's dig around until we find what it ate" lmao
I loved Nils Holgersson as a child!
In the 2nd story when you talked about the handwriting analysis and them narrowing down areas just based on her lower cursive "t", shows how much investigators can learn just from someone's handwriting. It's incredible.
Reminds me of a case that was solved in Florida where all the info they had on the murderer was his handwriting. The detectives were so desperate to solve the case, that they posted a billboard showing a picture of his handwriting and asked if anyone could identify it. Amazingly a woman had recently had a handyman come to her home to do some work and the bill he wrote her matched the suspects. Then found him and arrested him. Even the smallest of details can be an excellent clue.
Was that the case of the dude that threw three women overboard off his boat and the only evidence was some directions he'd written on a brochure? If so, I remember seeing that on Forensic Files
@@alexandergilles8583 Yes that's it! Great Forensic Files episode.
That case is an actual clue. Someone can identify his handwriting. Handwriting analysis is pseudoscience.
@@bunnyluver2176 it’s not pseudoscience. You can deduce real info from that. Case in point all the Isdal woman stuff. You can compare handwriting samples to see if your suspect matches the evidence. You can look for trends in how they write. Lots of people have little patterns or things that they subconsciously/automatically do as part of their handwriting that they’d never think about, but to an investigator would absolutely stick out as a unique identifier.
Some people dot and cross letters in a weird way (I know someone who writes the letter X in one motion), some people write particular letters a certain way, some people write letters and words really close together while others are more spacious, some write big and others write small, some write really light and others write with a lot of pressure, lines of writing might gradually slope up, etc.
The point of handwriting analysis is to pick up on THAT stuff. The really subtle stuff that people do when writing
@@alexandergilles8583 exactly
Your Isdal Woman segment is Mariana Trench level deep- thank you for making it, I learned so much more details I hadn't heard in other youtube content creators coverage. Thanks again!
If she's buried in zinc for preservation, surely they could collect a DNA sample now? With the rise of genealogy tests, it is possible a distant relative has their DNA on record somewhere.
That would take money the Norwegian government refuses to use to solve anything but the most mundane crap.
Like they did with the Somerton Man.
And lots and lots of old cold cases.
I believe it was the zodiac killer or maybe the golden state killer they did this with thanks to something like 23 and Me.
@@drakesmith471 I worked in local news for three years and saw my city's oldest unsolved murder, the victim of which was a 9-year-old girl, solved 62 years later thanks to forensic analysis of preserved DNA. And hers wasn't the only unsolved case. There were two other solved murders and one identified John Doe whose case was well-known in the area. And that was just in three years. We're not a super large city, so it is possible to do even with limited funds and a backlog.
For cases like this Jane Doe's, whose unusual death has captivated a broad international audience, I suspect the public pressure will get through eventually.
@@drakesmith471 The Zodiac Killer is still classified as open and unsolved by authorities, and I wasn't able to find which lab or company carried out the analysis for the nonprofit Case Breakers, who submitted an alleged sample for testing. So I don't know if it is 23 and Me or an official forensics lab like Othram Inc. I could probably sort through more sources and dig it up, but I don't work in journalism anymore, and it is 12:30 in the morning rn. So mayhaps another time ~
I will say, it is not uncommon now for cold cases to be solved by happenstance through companies like 23 and Me when a relative of the suspect does a test for fun and it matches closely with previously unknown DNA. So that's definitely an interesting development in cold cases.
For my part, my sisters and I found and met our long lost half-sister when I gifted my older sister a kit for her birthday. I now have bragging rights for life to the best birthday present, because I gave a whole ass sibling as a bonus. That was pretty neat. :)
Wow, the second story about the woman is so intriguing. I would love to know the answer to that one.
I think it pops up on reddit or maybe similar cases the consensus is that it is a spy/secret agent
I highly recommend 'Death in Ice Valley' podcast
Absolutely! One of the best podcast series I have ever listened to. Great recommendation@@Muxxyy
Biographics & Joe Scott did more extensive videos which might be worth watching. Isdal Woman. That'll bring you to them.
@Becky_G I’ve read up on this case a lot over the years. I’d love to say she was a secret spy and she died due to espionage. Unfortunately, the truth is more than likely very different. Due to accounts of her behavior, personal hygiene, patterns of speaking, interactions with others, etc. it seems she was paranoid schizophrenic. A very sad case, indeed.
That last story honestly feels like the woman was a rich spy wannabe that ended up actually finding something that she shouldn't have.
Wanna be lol ?
Yup. Just like Bill Paxton's character in True Lies.
If she were a spy, she wasn’t a very good one, because her peculiar behavior actually made her _memorable_ rather than _forgettable._
She was never made though.
But it doesn't seem like she was ever a spy at all. This is simply so unprofessional that even I, myself, could do better. To be honest, it sounds a lot more like mental illness, especially the parts about room-hopping and leaving a chair outside the room. The only part that isn't (necessarily) related to mental illness is the part where 2 men are allegedly chasing after the woman, but even that can't be confirmed. Of course, she could have otherwise just been a horrible spy, which is why this case garners so much attention, I'm sure. I suppose we'll never know for sure.
The only part of that case I slightly disagree with is the part where handwriting doesn't change. My handwriting has undergone several changes through the years, and it only stabilized a year or two ago (I'm in my late 20s).
@@charlotteforbes2090there's also the circumstances surrounding her death, and the fact that the government stopped the police from continuing the investigation. Plus, how many people have the resources to obtain seven different passports? She may not have been a spy, but there's more to this than mental illness.
@@charlotteforbes2090I don't think the argument was that handwriting doesn't change, but more so aspects of it. Of course her handwriting could look drastically different to when she was younger, but aspects such as the T they used for example, could remain
She was definitely being trafficked
I've seen videos about the Isdahl woman before but none have provided information as specific and fascinating as what you have. Thank you!
Spy or not, to me it always felt like the Isdal woman was running away from someone. They eventually identified the Somerton Man, so there is hope I guess...
Maybe, but having worked in psychiatry, some “normal” people DO have episodes where their “paranoia/they are all after me” brain center misfires. I have seen it in patients in liver failure, then lifted after a procedure to help the liver issue, or some who smoke mj or meth, who get paranoia as a side effect. Or it seems to just happen at times….few talk about it, but it’s more common than most think.
Many, MANY missing persons cases begin with the person being vague that someone is after them (but don’t go to police and can’t explain who) and acting oddly, then running or driving off….then found dead later. It could be they ran from a threat, but likewise just that they had a psychotic episode where they can’t think straight, and eventually run into a random criminal who takes advantage of their impaired situation.
Have seen many times where a person dies this, but is found, and once better, have no real threat they have to worry about,,,,it was just a neuropsych issue. I have never seen a single case where it turned out they were fleeing something real.
So, could be she ran from a real threat, but maybe not as well.
Running away from mi6
@@Itried20takennames True, but if we assume the hotel staff remembered correctly it's strange that she's having dinner with military personnel that's a bit weird. Besides how many of your psychiatric patients had 7 different passports? It's not impossible of course, it's all just very sketchy, especially when you consider the police was pretty much forced to not go all in on solving this mystery by their own intelligence agency and how they were adamant it was self inflicted despite evidence suggesting that wasn't the case (even ruling out murder before the final autopsy and toxicology reports was even performed).
I don't know man, seems a bit more than just a mentally ill woman, it's all a bit too strange
@@uuuuNB Exactly, the meeting with two german navy officers and that the investigation was stopped by norways intelligence agency seems very wierd if she had "only" mental problems. Man what would i give to know what happend there. She was also burned alive and the cannister was not found, so what criminal would do something like this, isnt it easier to shoot or stab the victim? Cant imagine what those detectives had to go through after hearing they wont get any answers after such a wierd case, where they came closer and closer but suddenly get stoped by thier own government.
Not a spy, most likely a whistle blower.
its nuts that a funny looking goat lead to people going 'hm, must be copper, time to dig!' AND they found stuff? Bonkers
It’s just like how people would dig wells using a stick (basically a twig) and act like the stick would point the way. Like how are we still alive 😂
Seems pretty cause and effect to me. They were right that the goat looked that way because of copper, so why is it odd that they found copper in the vicinity?
If the goat was eating copper, they didn't need a mine, they just needed to collect that goat's poop.
@@Mousehansensome people lack understanding of basic cause and effect.
The Belgian woman wasn't a spy, she was handler or recruiter. She traveled around collecting info from and directing her spy network. Spys don't move much, so she went to them
I really appreciate you labeling the AI photos as such. As much as I don’t like AI, I understand why people use it, and it means a lot when people are honest and don’t try to take credit for the art they use.
Funny how the art wouldn't exist without the human, but the human can't use it without telling you credit to the A.I.?
AI photos for a piece of work you created and narrated yourself is not the same as A.I. generated content.
A.I. photos are way more personal than stock photos, the dude actually had to tell the computer what to make.
Now, if you generate a single image and try to pass that as your art, now that's something else.
But when it's blended with original content like this, what does it matter to you?
Please explain this to me?

@@emmyhynes5827 and?
The second story about the woman with nothing to identify her with reminded me a lot of the Somerton man. (They actually discovered his identity though back in 2022 using DNA. I wonder if they could do the same for this woman, somehow).
Was he a spy or smth
Yeah this sounds like espionage
you want to make a massive pyre for yourself to avoid being identified via dna or dental records.
It also reminded me of the Peter Bergmann case in Ireland. It's another head scratcher.
@@HappySmilingDog-d7uactually it turned out he wasn’t. just a poor man who wanted to vanish. had some close relatives btw
they later revealed his photos and bio too.
Excellent research and summary of the mysterious Isdalen woman's case - the best I have seen on RUclips to date. Very well done and presented.
The scratchy black effect over the heads of the people in the opening is scary, dude. But I admit it's also interesting.
15:23 My life goal is to eat so much garlic that when i disappear, people will be like "oh yeah, that person with the garlic stank, we know who you're talking about" 😂😂😂😂
I wonder if the woman was in the early days of witness protection - perhaps for war crimes/info. Not a spy per se, but was valuable to the military because of what she knew. This would explain several identities (in case she was discovered, she could change and disappear again quickly) but her medications were scrubbed as they may have had her real name, the blunt force trauma and attempted burning may have been torture for info... and meetings with military officials. Just a theory 🤔🤷♀️
Nice catch!
That opener with the black splotches over the face is disturbing! Nice 😂
I thought at first glance it was hair whipping around due to wind then realized.
That opener with the black splotches was disturbing. Period.

bro, your editing keeps getting smoother and smoother, as a long time subscriber i gotta congratulate you for being that consistent while also getting better! thx fo that!
Stop meatriding, being gay isn't trendy anymore
Great way to start the morning, love your storytelling Scary Interesting!!
The second story is a spy assassination story, and I still can't believe people break their minds and wonder what happened to an interesting person like her. And naturally it's being obscured and people who had a say at court strongly denied espionage involvement and then changed their mind, like that alone is the biggest red flag right there without knowing the full context.
I think the second case was a woman who possibly was a free lance spy. That would explain her spy behaviors but without any professional training. Maybe she contacted the government to tell them some information she discovered and they took her out.
Yes i think that too. We have to keep in mind it was the height of the cold war. Spys and agents all over the place
I was so sure too, but now that I’ve had some time to think about it, why would a spy agency leave her on such a condition out in the wild? Wouldnt it make much more sense to burn all of her belongings and bury the body or something? I was really married to the idea of spy but now im just not sure
Very weird feeling to click on a random Scary Interesting video and the first story being about your town. Super weird to see a map of streets you’re very familiar with in a freaking RUclips video
Convinced the second one was a spy.
The second story about the unknown woman was fascinating. You obviously did a lot of research and did a fine job composing the story from the facts. If you ever learn the solution to the mystery, please revisit this video and let us know. 👀As an aside, the photos you used were gorgeous, and I want to visit Bergen and the rest of Norway on the next boat that sails.😊
With a bunch of wigs and non prescription glasses, a coded book, changing names, and scratching out all identifying factors including company brands, I'd be willing to bet that the second woman had a delusion disorder and believed that people were after her, that she had information nobody else did, that companies were controlling people, or that she was a spy, or some combination.
Same. To me it sounded like psychosis.
I have thought that. She ticks all the boxes of a paranoid schizophrenic with depression. Cutting labels out, using fake names, using cryptic notes only she understands, it all seems like she thought she was being chased or watched. It feels like she was trying to escape someone or something and decided to end it to 'get away from them'.
And to commit suicide so spectacularly, no way she was a spy. Spies never get burned to death in a public place, it's too visible. They're usually just shot or poisoned.
She would have had to have a LOT of money, and people with psychosis have a hard time with steady employment. She would have also needed a way to get all those fake passports and so psychosis isn't on the list for me. Plus this was a long time ago, would have been very difficult.
She definitely had help and there was definitely purpose to what she was doing that she wanted to make sure was hidden. Being a spy and murder def is a very likely possibility. Or maybe she worked for an organization or government and there were highly classified projects she was involved with.
yep, tons of them on the gangstalking subbreddits. It's a wonder this doesn't happen more often tbo.
@JessaLynnC yes my thoughts exactly! and if that were the case, wouldn't you think at least someone would have recognized her or at least reported her missing? that's the one thing I find troubling about the psychosis theory. and for all we know, maybe she didn't have friends or family that would report her missing if she left somewhere🤷🏼♀️ the spy theory is far fetched too - I just think she wasn't being inconspicuous like a spy. idk. I will say that I do find it a bit odd how NCIS was so quick to say her death was likely self-inflicted, and even with all the evidence and odd happenings wouldn't reopen the case. that's the thing that I can't get over. it's not impossible she took her own life, but burning to death definitely isn't the quickest or easiest way to go - it just seems like a painful, torturous death which in my mind if you are taking your own life, you end it as quickly and painlessly as possible (again, I could be wrong). someone in a previous comment said there was an ingredient in the eczema cream that gave off a strong garlic smell, which if you're familiar with true crime or just odd deaths in general, the woman who died from spontaneous human combustion also smelled very strongly of garlic. so maybe something similar happened with this lady?!🤔 I'm kinda surprised investigators didn't think of that, but I'm no expert, so there could be reasons why they didn't think of that. I'm not quite sure what to believe happened to her, but with how far along DNA testing and genetic genealogy has become, I wouldn't doubt us seeing her identified within the next 5-10 years.
The story of the woman with no identity reminds me of one episode of Unsolved Mysteries where their was a woman found dead in a hotel and they said it was suicide but the way she was holding the gun and the fact there was no splatter on her hands made that unlikely. She had a fake name as well and no one to this day has ever identified her
She put a chair in front of the door so she would know if someone was in the room waiting, or at least had been in the room, before going in. Take something very small and unnoticeable on the chair like a hair or very tiny item that wouldn't be noticeable. It would be difficult for someone to notice it because they would want to enter the room quickly to not be seen. Depending on how the chair was placed it might have also been impossible to return the chair to its original position while entering the room. It's pretty basic tradecraft but also effective in its simplicity.
Looking like an agent, but being denied that by the country in which she operated? Well, sounds like a double agent working for some country from NATO in order to search for KGB agent (and likely also that she was killed by those agents). That would give Norway the incentive to cover everything up in order to avoid the suspicion of hiring that women to dig for Soviet agents.
Or just schizophrenia
When in doubt, just deny any knowledge.
The Soviets loved hits. They still do by the looks of the Wagner CEO and Nalveny

After so many flawless videos, we finally found his kryptonite: he doesn't know how to pronounce 'eczema.' LOL just kidding, keep up the great work.
I still think the woman was a spy but perhaps a civilian hired as such hastily, hence the clumsiness and the code being easily to decipher.
Not if I see you first Sean. Not if I see you first.
If two horrible fates counts as "a collection" then I have a collection of mailmen tied up in my basement.

I CANNOT get enough. Ive been through nearly every video. The mine stories are my favourite. same with them caves.
All of your videos are so riveting and hearing these stories are so enjoyable but I’ve been thinking about the way you pronounced eczema all day.
hello mr interesting thank u for another video
I love the way you tell the stories. You have a soothing voice, and your stories are great. Keep up the good work.
She was definitely a spy.
My fav channel on RUclips rn
I was either thinking of a spy, or purhaps she had some mental illness, that caused her to be so paranoid. Idk how many paranoid people are seen in restaurants with random men🤔. If someone is paranoid, they usually isolate themselves and don't want to socialize..
unironically one of my favorite series on youtube, i did laugh at that blur effect in the beginning though, it kindve looks like someones headbanging xD
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
I feel awful for Margreta because instead of letting her bury him, they wanted him DISPLAYED? Awful.

Hey! You're talking about the story that I suggested (the first one)! That's amazing, thank you so much for shedding some international light on it!
I, myself didn't know about Fet Matts until I moved to Falun. However everyone here seem to know the story.
It's super neat to hear you talk about it and you have honestly already taught me some new stuff!
Great to feel that your voice is heard out there on the internet ☺
I'm always so excited when you release new content. Thank you!
Just discovered you not too long ago and these have been great to listen to as I sleep. Perfect timing for this upload ☺️
As a Swede I have explore many mines, and I've never heard about Fet Matts. I live in a small mining village, and there's so much stories about similar things. One story I remember was the mines were active, a teen boy working there fell down into the mine, several hundreds of meters. He was never found. I've been to Falun silver mine, it's so coold. Love going into mines!
you could cover the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition lead by Ernest schakleton, but its not really a horrible fate since nobody died, still a great story though

The year was 1943...my guess is that she was an international covert spy. It makes sense, regarding the lack of labels in the garments. Maybe. Allegedly.
More of a collection of mysterious fates than horrible fates but like always another fascinating episode.
You must get the recognition you deserve

Your videos always make my day, and I love your attention to detail which really makes it more realistic. Keep up the good work I love your videos!!!
I've been salivating for a new ep for 6 days, thank you Sean love you
second lady was hunting vampires.
and they got her ;-;
Imagine the heartbreak of Matts' widow, not being able to bury him and knowing that he was somewhere in a lab being studied like a thing. And she never got to see him buried either, in the end.
They had not officially married which is why his body was not released to her. It’s still absolutely heartbreaking.
But now with genetic Genealogy there really is a shot at identifying the Isdal woman if she had any relatives, close or far, and it is run through multiple European countries. It wouldn’t be easy but it’s possible if they tried hard enough. Also, considering she seems to have been so good at French and German together, I’d say she’s more likely to be from Switzerland, which speaks both as well as Italian. Belgium has French and Dutch, so it doesn’t quite fit, unless she spent time in both France and Germany.
Hey man, just want to thank you for the amazing free content. So happy you're getting the recognition you deserve. This channel is pristine.

Amazing to hear about a story set in the town I live in! The story as it was told here isn’t the one I’m familiar with. It could very well be that this retelling is closer to the truth given that the story I heard is more fantastical. In that version fet-Mats was believed to have gotten cold feet and abandoned his fiancée. 42 years later, miners found a body they assumed to have died recently and brought it up from the mine. When the body reached ground level it began to dry and became “hard as wood” or “turned to stone”. Rumors about the unknown miner spread in Falun and a crowd gathered but nobody recognized the body. From the crowd an old woman emerged and exclaimed “but that’s my Mats!”. The townsfolk didn’t believe her at first given that they thought he recently died and why would a young man be engaged to an old woman? Fet-Mats was then put on display, then buried under the church floor, then moved to the cemetery, then exhumed and put in a box to be forgotten in the church’s attic, and then lastly buried in the cemetery once again.
the way you pronounced eczema threw me off lmao
That’s what he was saying! I just assumed it was some obscure medicine from that time period.

Damn, I just calculated the amount of sand I had moved in a single day when you mentioned the tons Fet Matt moved.
A whopping 15,5 tons (metric)! I didnt intuitively feel this would be possible, but even a single m³ weighs around 1.5 tons...
You ever heard the song “16 tons”?
