Very wholesome

“Everyone in town was a suspect” maybe because you let everyone in town hold the axe after the murder???
my theory is that the town marshall did it or someone close to him, and by letting everyone hold it he covered the traces.
@@macs_something hey that's what i was thinking too!
I'm kinda surprised no one's mentioned this but in the Victorian era, it was common practice to draw the curtains and cover the bodies after death. They would also cover mirrors to prevent spirits from being "trapped in the looking glass". They murders were only a decade after Victoria died, so the practices were likely still common, even in America. If anything, it sounds like the murderer did these funerary practices to prevent the spirits from coming after them.
The era in which the murders occurred was the Edwardian Era. You are correct about the practice though.
See my other comment... some observant Jewish people continue to cover mirrors for 7-8 days after a death in the family.
Having watched so many of these, this is the episode that really got under my skin. That house does NOT pass the vibe check.
Here's something extra disturbing. A TV show called Ghost Lab went to the house, and the ghost hunter asked "Why'd you do it?" And, they got an answer: "For fun".

the duality of man (also where tf did all these bots come from)
I’ve heard theories that the murderer hid inside the attic. There were cigarette butts found inside next to an old wooden chair.
That’s the most terrifying part to me. The killer was waiting in the house the whole time and nobody realized.
Hinterkaifeck, anyone?
@@carnuatus what?
@@carnuatusThere's actually a theory that the same guy committed both crimes. It's detailed in a book called The Man From The Train, highly recommend.
@@daithiodonnell2825Ah yes, Paul Mueller...I'm doing a study on why I think he committed the Villicsa murders.
That's what creep me out the killer was hiding in the attic no one noticed it hence why I always check my garage and closets
Man such a shame this is unsolved. I wish I knew like why them? Can you imagine being the parents of the girls that let them sleepover? There lives never be the same again and family members just crying for years. So horrible.
There's a book called the man from the train that argues this case is part of the pattern of a single serial killer (I wasn't convinced by the books theory personally after looking further into it). However what I did learn from that book was that there were a surprising amount of family annihilations with an axe from 1908 to 1914. This same scenario happened way more than you'd want to believe. Like way way more. There was a lot of "why them" going on when I read that book
The neighbor, Mary Peckham, had a severe nervous breakdown after the murders, had to be taken out of state, where she died 6 months later.
"we're the ghoul brothers...it's a bond that lasts forever" anyone else emotional
...Y-YES 😭
A truly beautiful moment🥰
I appreciate them being very “last season” in a lot of their decisions and what their responses are to each other. It makes you feel like they’re just as invested as we all are 😅🥺

I've now seen about 10 of these episodes and this is the creepiest one to me, just because of how clear and relevant the answers were on the spirit box. 'Hard to stop' gave me chills...
nonsense.
when ryan asks "why did you do what did you here" at 31:55, it actually really sounds like the spirit box says "envy." could be a good explanation on why they killed an entire family.
"You do what you do to make your girlfriend feel safe." Awwww Shane
Adorable

This was really sweet
@@sillyguyandco 22:09
@@Suzumiya_ Ty!
the fact that the spirit box stopped speaking as soon as Shane took hold of it, is proof that Shane is a demon feared by spirits
All the spirits are just terrified of all the demons Shane has either trapped in him or otherwise attached to him
100% true
Trueee
Omg LL, im a big fan! Where have you been all these years? Sorry if you dont want to bring it up. But i defentely did not expect to see you here!
He doesn’t feed into them. Demons literally drain you thru fear and anxiety. He hardwalls them out and doesn’t realize it
The spirit box session in the attic had some of the most compelling evidence since the start of the series: the fact that the "I'm in here" was crystal clear and a direct and immediate answer to the question gave me chills, as did the fact that it answered the "what year is it" question with a number
You're easily impressed.
@@shadelings 💀
Spirit boxes are not real lol. Don't ever buy one since you are just getting scammed.
@@user-mp3eh1vb9w Yup but I don't think they all are scams but you could obviously buy them where they just spit out random words pretty sure that's what they use in this show.
Spirit boxes aren’t a scam designed to spit out words but they do demonstrate a profound misunderstanding of how radio signals work. If you’ve ever been tuning a radio manually, you know that you start to pick up a signal before it is clear and it takes some fiddling to really get the station in clear especially on AM radio. Some stations have very powerful signals which cover a lot of frequencies, some have quite weak signals and can be overwhelmed by stronger ones. So even though the box is ticking through radio station frequencies very quickly the fact you can get a word or two just means they’ve hit a major station with a powerful signal.
This is one of the very few cases that makes me feel paranoid and sick to my stomach every time I watch it. I’ve seen it only twice, and it’s affected me both times.
But the only thing that I enjoy is Shane saying, “You do what you do to make your girlfriend feel safe.” That’s the only thing about this video that is nice.
I love how throughout this series Ryan’s whole physique and style has changed and Shane…well he got a stache and his pants are higher.
😭😭😭
Ryan used to be so scared in the beginning. Now he’s kind of nonchalant & filled with skepticism.
@@sickermann he's not skeptical but I do agree that he's not scared anymore
😂😂😂
@@renabvby1557 i believe he is still scared but now knows how to mask it.
“it’s actually quite calming” says Shane lying next to a crime scene
I mean it was a crime scene a century ago.
Lying* "Laying" means "placing something down on a surface." "Lying" means "reclining."
@@englishatheart ahh you’re right I spelled it wrong
My God. What happened to that family is horrifically tragic. And the fact the monster was never caught makes my heart angry and sad.
TW: necrophilia and child abuse
additional case detail: in the room of the Stilinger sisters, they found seminal fluid on the floor of that bed room and the oldest girl was stripped of her lower garments, was pulled to pose with her hands above her head and the found a bloody handprint on her upper thigh (can't remember which side) the guy was truly a sick minded individual but as horrible as it sounds, I'm glad she wasn't alive to witness that being done to her.....
There’s a part of my brain that thinks the same thing when I hear this was done to them AFTER they’d died, like it’s a terrible thing that happens to them but the smallest of mercy was they weren’t alive
I heard a theory the bacon was sitting out because it was used as an aid to the killer pleasuring himself, as awful of a thought as that is
There’s also the theory that the killer did in fact use the bacon instead of using the girl. It’s sad but can be backed up.
"Unicorns aren't real. Ghosts are real." Ryan, I think you broke Shane.
Shane really thought he made progress with "unicorns aren't real" to be instantly let down by "ghosts are real" 😂
I don't know why horses with horns are less realistic to Ryan than floating clouds in the shape of a person who knock stuff out of shelves for some reason.
Unicorns are real. They just happen to be gray and chubby.
unicorns are real tho, theyre called narwals
@ A Ghost m.czcams.com/video/ykwqXuMPsoc/video.html
Ryan: Unicorns aren't real, but ghosts are
Shane: *demonic screeching*
Bot, smh.
it’s just annabelle in his chest cavity
it finally left his body. shane is now free again.
I grew up only 60 miles from this place and had no idea about it until just last year. You'd think I'd hear about it at least once in the 15 years I lived in Iowa.
Wow, that amazing. There's a paranormal group called Charmed City, who did an excellent investigation on the house, along with the history. You won't be disappointed. 😉🧡🍂🍁❤🎃
I love all the stories about ghost encounters in these videos. It's like "So you got any proof that outrageous thing happened?" "trust me, bro"
My favorite is when it comes from the owners of the various haunted attractions. "Oh yeah I totally saw this, and I, the owner of this place who directly financially benefits from you believing it, have no cause to lie".
"my name's shane, i am looking for the killer"
"HEY, FUCKO!"
PLS I CANT
that’s classic shane
That one made me laugh
Ryan: unicorns aren't real... Ghosts are real.
Shane: *mental breakdown*
*high pitched demonic screeching*
That moment summed up the entire series 😂
The rhinoceros is a unicorn
Wait, so, how does Shane explain those clearly audible voices? He just says, its the wind? Or what?
@@luisechevarria186 Yes. Or electronic glitch. Or other staff working on the production. Etc. etc. (Personally I do believe they're EVP but that's what he'd say. I don't think there's anything that would ever get Shane to think otherwise. He's pretty set in his worldview.)
I have a theory:
What if the murderer was someone close to the family and was invited to their house? The murderer might've used some kind of untraceable poison in their food/drink which settled in and knocked most of the family out in their sleep. Except for Lena, who didn't have as much as the rest of the family. After the murderer did whatever he did, he covered up the mirror because he was superstitious.
Anyways, as a Boogara myself, I don't think this house is haunted. There's a lack of strong/clear evidence that can show proof of ghosts.
Also, 1912 really was NOT the year. Villisca Ax Murder House, Titanic sinking...
Also, the covering of the mirrors in the home suggests that the killer was oddly being respectful of the souls. Throughout History, it is known that people liked to cover mirrors as a religious belief that souls may be inadvertently trapped if the mirrors weren't covered up when a death occured. They also had a tendency to stop clocks at the time of death.
i thought the opposite, i thought mirrors are portals so maybe they would be stuck there. I mean why would a muderer want to be respectful of the souls he just killed anyway?
I've heard a few people say that the killer felt guilty and didn't want to look at himself after what he'd done so it could just be that
I thought that too, but there is evidence that the killer got off to one of the girls' bodies which makes me think he really thought of them as nothing but bodies.
@@AmnaFarook Yeah, the guy used a slab of bacon like some sort of prehistoric Fleshlight... Disgusting. It's too bad that DNA evidence and forensic science didn't exist yet, because I'm positive they would have found semen and nailed the bastard.
Ryan: Unicorns aren't real, ghosts are real.
Shane: *And I took that personally*
Someone got triggered lol
I saw this comment before I reached that part of the video and my mind just jumped to Shane being really invested in unicorns lmao
"Shane, was that you?"
"No, I'm in the closet..."
same
the amount of bots in your replies oh my-
It's like that one audio I heard on tik tok.. "I was over on the bench"
@Kabeer ahmed this isn't a not I thimk
lol same
17:17 find it hysterical someone put a Booh-Bah doll into the closet, a show that wasn’t made until 2003. Whoever looks after the house definitely just finds the most haunted looking toys possible for added effect.
Every investigation I see of this place the evidence always includes a man asking people to stop him. I have a feeling the killer was so lost to madness that he was outside himself. I almost feel like those responses come from him watching himself commit the crime. So much adrenaline and pure madness that time was distorted, his view of self was distorted, he was outside himself. He covered any reflection and couldn’t bare to look at any human face. The rush of the kill terrified him as much as it thrilled him. He had no control and he submitted to that, he let himself be consumed. But that’s just my own opinion.
And then he decided he'd sit down and eat dinner
@@sabytopia Hey, murder works up an appetite.
@@sabytopia I can imagine him sitting in the dark just eating dinner silenetly. Thats real creepy
@@sabytopia and forgot his bacon
That's immensely terrifying tbh
This is how you know Ryan isn't scared of ghosts anymore: he laughs when ghosts turn flashlights on and off when in season 1 he would flip out.
Its not that hes less scared of ghosts, its that he believes in them a lot less. As in hes already seen the light do this a bunch with nothing happening after. Now if he could actually see the figure turning it off, he wouldnt have been laughing
The town "Marshall" prob did it. Maybe an affair or obsession..... makes sense the husband was the only one who got the blade....
Laughing can be seen as a sign of distress or discomfort

@@t.h.301 omg Hi~~ 💜
It's funny how Ryan goes in after Shane has probably pissed off the spirits.
It's like a couple, married for 50 years. 👫😂
@@AlexandraVioletta w h a t.
Always been that way, always will be that way.
Fabricated personalities
Spirit don't exist
it might just be me, but when the murderer was saying 'stop it' and 'stop me', im almost certain i heard the words 'it won' shortly after from the spirt box, this makes me wonder if the killer had mental health issues and perhaps a voice or hallucination continuously bothered them with intrusive thoughts until they snapped and couldnt take it anymore, they seem genuinely sorry as well so i wonder if it was indeed psychological issues that prompted this killing spree
anyway, have a good day
at 31:57 i heard 'it made me' as well
Obviously Shane yelling when Ryan proclaims unicorns aren't real was him hamming it up for the bit, but I LOVE the moment just after Ryan says it where you see him genuinely bluescreen
The notion that Shane goes against his own nature to check the entire house to make sure his girlfriend feel safe is so cute 🥺
@Maysy Liky ummmmmmm
I was thinking the same thing!!!!
These bots are really getting out of hand. I agree with you, good relationship stuff there
@@bashboi4074 honestly
Shane doesnt believe in ghosts, he does believe actual evil people exist, he's not going against his own nature to make sure theres no serial killers in his house, he just is confident that the likelihood is so low that he only checks for Sara's sake
so many killer quotes in this episode, my fave being - “he just seems to have no fear, which I used to think was courageous but now I just think he’s an insane person.”

@@alholbrook8292 Me too unfortunately haha!
Time stamp?
@@alholbrook8292 wat are these comments? I havent seen these before in other videos
As entertaining as these Buzzfeed Unsolved episodes are to watch, I find myself hoping that ghosts aren't real because I just find that an awful way to spend the afterlife. My hope is always that the victims are resting peacefully wherever they are now, because I couldn't imagined being trapped for eternity in the place where I was brutally and senselessly murdered. I hope this whole family and the two Stillinger girls are in a good place now.
If you're murdered in your sleep, how would you become a spirit when you were unaware it was taking place to begin with? I think the feeling of dread is from all of the tourists bringing it to the residence.
I think the feeling of dread is just knowing people were murdered there. I mean imagine going into a house knowing people were brutally murdered in there I'm sure you'd feel a bit off too
the "i'll kill him" "stop me"
and then "help me." gives me chills.
Time stamp?
@@Baphy_baby666 watch from 18:53 and you'll see :)
Learn how the spirit box works please
@@shengloongtan229 not sure who that's directed at, but i'm pretty sure it works as a normal am/fm radio, only switching really fast between channels to create an almost seamless background noise. i don't know if your comment was meant to be skepticism or not, but if yes, (while i myself wouldn't regard myself a firm believer in the paranormal) it's still quite strange that a full sentence / good few words were able to be heard through the spirit box, considering the extremely fast frequency. the odds that 3-5 radio channels would exactly line up to create a sentence are highly unlikely. if i took your comment the wrong way, i apologise and have a nice day :) (the last part goes for either option lmao)

So the killer even ate a meal. So many fingerprints and dna there to use. I feel its weird that the dad was the only one killed with the blade too. Also why would the ghost of the killer be in the home unless they died there? Definitely a head scratcher

@@dylansturges8780 bro who the hell cares
Iowa resident here, everything he says is true.
I have a sort of theory that the killer not only still resides in the house, but they're in some sort of limbo where they're stuck killing the family over and over again. Endlessly. It would explain the responses: "It's hard to stop" "Stop me" and "Help me".
Perhaps now they're finally regretting what they did and they're begging to be released?
worlds best duo, one who believes everything and the other who provokes everything
For postmortem: isn’t it possible that the town Marshall was the killer and brought everyone into the house to intentionally ruin the crime scene and add loads of fingerprints to the weapon?
that’s exactly what i was thinking!
Or he knew who did it and wanted to cover it up also I belive the killer had an uncontrollable urge to kill and that they were ashamed of what they did judging by they're use of sheets also the bacon wrapped in a towel strikes me as something someone would use for a bad bruise or swelling. I also believe the killer was a man because of force needed to kill by blunt force although it could've been a very angry or crazy woman .
I was thinking the same thing!
Fingerprints were just starting to be used so a rural cop probably just didnt know any better.
Its likely the work of a serial killer as there were several other murders committed the exact same way in the region at the time
that’s exactly my train of thought. i thought it was very strange how a marshal would let people contaminate a very very gruesome and tragic crime scene if he wasn’t some who involved. i do think if he’s haunting the house he’s doing something like la lerona had to do, find the souls of the people he killed and set them free to heaven or to be reincarnated or however afterlife is predicated in the family’s religion that they affiliate with
*shane walks in the house alone*
murderer's ghost, crying in the corner: not him please i wanna go home
full on but hahaha I think all the ghosts scared of shane hahaha
lol
Shane be like: Yes it's me, i'm gonna send you back to hell
Frightening to think that the killer is still on the loose
shane is something else, he's his own being even the ghosts wont speak in his presence
Ryan: "How many skulls have you claimed in this turf war?"
Shane, starting straight into the camera: "Countless."
It seems to me that the crime was personal because of the weapon used. This person was filled with rage and they seemed to know when they would be home that they waited in the attic. Another reason I think it was personal was because they seemed to show remorse for what they did to their victims by putting cloth on them to cover their faces. They also stuck around the house after the crime. They seemed to know the house and were comfortable inside.
please, the scream that shane let out when ryan said “unicorns are not real, but ghosts are real” he is feed up lmaooo
Hilarious since you could see in his head he was like “he just… proved my point…” and then Shane dropped that line 😂

As an Iowa native living a little over an hour away, Villisca has always fascinated me. I've been to this house, but I wouldn't chalk it up as haunted in any sense. It's definitely an interesting story.
The best and scariest episode. I definitely wouldn’t have the guts to go in there! Every fact literally gave me the chills. 🥶

@Gaming With Atik
Probably has to do with how our brain works. Recorders can pick up a lot of background noises that were not picked up by human ears. Our brains are pattern recognising machine, when replaying those unintelligible backgrounds noises got pick up by our brain and we hear those "words".
You have to understand how visual and other illusion works and how our brain perceive the environment.
@@shengloongtan229 Thank you, for your work as a fellow Shaniac. Also those flashlights switch on and off due to expansion and retraction of the reflector around the bulb by heat. Sometimes you can see them screwing off the top of the flashlight until it slightly touches the contact to the battery. Then the expansion and retraction happens and that's why its turning on and off. And those EVP-"detectors" that are common in the ghost hunting community might as well be disfunctional detectors that are not calibrated well to static noise.
@Gaming With Atik it's not pre-recorded, the spirit box uses the radio frequencies but in a faster speed so the words you sometimes here are probably from other channels
I love how much Shane despises the spirit box. Every single time made me laugh so hard.
haha i dont like it either, had one for a week it sucked.
The spirit box had me WILDIN in this one like the thought of the killer being forced to sit and wander in the attic as punishment for all eternity is just- like movie worthy gosh this story was so creepy
Ryan: Wondering how the killer could sneak around such a creaky house. Me: Well it probably helps that it was 100 years younger at the time of the event...
That's what I was saying 😂
On par with the Loey Lane ep "I feel a breeze, is that a ghost" as he stood under an air vent lol
Some houses are just creaky. My childhood home was only 20 years old when we moved in but it's always been super creaky. However, when you live in a house like that, there's so much random creaking from the house settling that if someone were moving around (carefully) you'd probably not wake up because you're so used to the sound.
Interesting theory: it's noted that a number of axe murders at the time were committed near train tracks. A man and his daughter writing an investigative book on the subject theorized that this was because the man was a traveler, but here's another possibility: perhaps the killer's movements (and murders) weren't heard because they timed their attacks to when trains were passing by, using that noise as cover?
@@lymmea Yeah i know for a fact that this story was included in bedtime stories channel the man from the train. I love this theory.

This is possibly the most coherent the spirit box has ever been, which is really interesting. It doesn't mean much, but it *is* fun. Poor Shane losing his mind trying to explain why the lights don't work.
the most coherent one was in la llorona
@@distortedtruth1942 the lighthouse one where Ryan goes up the spiral staircase and uses the spiritbox is the most clear one in my opinion
Idk the river Phoenix one was pretty coherent I mean you had river Phoenix talk and the former owner to
i thought the one in prison was the most coherent
I think the lighthouse one was really clear, it was a full blown conversation.
Ryan and Shane's conversation about hooves and unicorns is legit how I and my husband talk to each other. He's way more of a Shaniac whereas I am more in the middle. I believe that something exists that we as humans cannot understand, but I do not think that ghosts are going to act how they're portrayed in movies and TV.
I have had my own experiences with things that I cannot even begin to understand but sound kind of implausible. But ghosts like on TV or in Hollywood movies?
That's a hard no.
Okay, but that "who is it" audio recording was actually really clear. Like, convincingly clear.
“I don’t believe in ghosts but I do believe that Iowa is haunted.” spoken like a true son of Illinois, bless u Shane u doing Chicago proud.
Too bad you guys are only popular because of one city. Iowa is the superior Midwestern state.
@@Foxy-Mask_Menace your smoking Reggie
@@Foxy-Mask_Menace Oh yeah, opposed to the 47 famous cities in Iowa
You*
@@cartoonhistory353 You + are = you're.
Man...the fact that he killed most of the victims with the BLUNT end of the axe just adds another layer of horrificness to what happened....
I mean in fairness I think it would be way worse getting murdered with the sharp end of an axe, you would probably have more of a fighting chance as well.
@@andrewshepherd1198 right? Which is take me back to what Shane was saying because how the hell no one got woken up?
and silently too
@@andrewshepherd1198 But with the sharp end wouldn't it be more or less a clean cut whereas with the blunt end because it's not actually cutting you're essentially just getting brutally beaten
I have a theory that the reason why the father was the only one to be killed with the sharp end is because he was the only other guy so he could've probably fought back easier so he wanted it to be quick
Hi Ryan and Shane!!
You've got a fan from Singapore!
Love your unique antiques and fantastic chemistry!!
[9:07]
Shane:*trying to explain the thing about flashlight*
Ryan:but unicorns arnt real......but ghost are real
Shane:*INHALES*
Shane:*SCREAMS IN DEMON*
If you forget they're ghost hunting, Shane and Ryan are just talking to their flashlights like crazy people lmao
To Shane, that's exactly what's happening.
And they are mad because their handradio seems to be broken 😂
Context is everything
i thought they left buzzfeed wtf is happeninggggg
@@soggytoenail the contract hasn't ended yet, basically, in the sense they are finishing the series before leaving for real.
Ryan is getting more and more bold with these ghosts.
middle age annoyance... plus the ghosts are all annoying lol

Shane’s powers are slowly leaking into Ryan , one day he will live with no fear of the ghouls 🤣🤣
2020 changed a man
Character development
If Criminal Minds has taught me anything, its that the fact that they were a "picture perfect family" is a huge possible motive. Look for someone who may have resented them for being a happy family, someone who didn't have one of their own.
That is possible.
What if it was someone else with the perfect family, but they wanted to be the only perfect family and this family was their competition?
There is a book called the man from the train that hypothesizes that this is one of 100s of murders around the country. All the same MO. Very compelling.
the way ryan is so casual about the torches turning on and off when once upon a time he would've been pissing his pants and crying out of fear. that's called growth!
Growth from the experience of learning that those flashlights will turn on and off without any rhyme or reason.
fax
The flashlights were very not compelling
I'm so proud of him so far this season ngl I thought his walk through was gonna be old city jail 2.0 especially when they mentioned that sometimes the house has an effect on some people's minds I went 👀 "oh no, Ryan." But that 'i am not my fear' mantra he's go seems so be working for him.
The only flashlights that have seemed compelling were the Sally House ones, as far as I remember. It actually seemed to have meaning behind the turning on and off.
It'd be so frustrating to be that ghost.
Ghost: "Help me."
Ryan: "What are your parents' names?"
Ghost: "....."
Gost: "Are you even listening to me?"
lmao!!! that’s what i was saying and i’m a shaneiac!!
lmao!!! that’s what i was saying and i’m a shaneiac!!

🤣
i question why i'm scared at night but constantly rewatch these videos at night
I've been dreaming for this video to happen for so long, and this video exists, so I'm happy, and the part where Shane is screaming that the ghosts are real gets me.
“i dont believe in ghosts but iowa is haunted” welp fellas he admitted it. we can finally put ourselves to rest
as someone who has been in iowa and right next to it almost my whole life, iowa is so haunted

@@nikotm2856 I just KNEW someone from Iowa and I could tell she'd seen some sh*t
the fact that dozens of people treated such a tragic event like an amusement park attraction is truly horrifying i genuinely can't imagine something like that happening
True. When I heard it I actually felt really angry. That is why people scare me more than ghosts or demons.
If you lived at that time, everything was boring, people lived very small lives. Also blood and gore was not a huge issue, people know how to slaughter their own animals, and as they said the killer covered up the faces with clothing. So a gruesome murder in your very own home town! Call a neighbor and go take a look!
Every famous location where a tragedy happened once is treated as an amusement park nowadays. You can go to London and get a tour of places where Jack The Ripper victims were found and stand on those exact spots... Why do things like that exist? Because you can cash in on that and that's the whole point of capitalism.
@@miss_conduct. it's one thing to be treated as an tourist spot in a place where crime happened 100 years ago, but the people of the town treated it like a show and inflitrated the crime scene when the bodies were still in the house, and the Sheriff let them. It's truly horrifying.
I mean, isn’t that what ghost hunters do? Isn’t that what we viewers are doing, in a way?
Got to think, Any possible link to the 1918 New Orleans ax murders? Snuck in at night attacking people with their own axes and other weapons and then leaving the weapon, just craxy theory just watch those two episodes back to back so seemed similar
Theres a theory it might be a serial killer. Also one of the "spirits" said a number involving 18, which could be 1918.
Observe viewer here! Gotta say I love these guys! I actually have never been interested in ghost hunting shows because they always play it up for views. But after seeing these two on observe I have finally found a supernatural/true crime duo I enjoy watching!
Friday is always gonna be a good day. Not because it’s the end of the week, but because the Ghoul Boys bless us with an upload.
Yes sir
Also, there's Are You Scared over on Watcher too.
Always? I thought it was last season. Anyways, today was a good day
And also because it's friday
Not the ghoul boys anymore, they are ghoul brothers.
Conclusion: Shane's disbelief in ghosts is as strong as his love for his girlfriend and as much as he hates the spirit box.
Spam, am I right?
The fact that he hates the spirit box, is proof that his starting to believe.
@@TheInfernapeKingTV he hates it because it’s loud
@@TheInfernapeKingTV everyone who listens to this on earphones hates the spirit box too
@@TheInfernapeKingTV he just hates the sound of it
I don’t trust the spirit box but I find it incredibly interesting with the “what is it?” As it sounds like a women who has just woken up. The couple seconds of when you just wake up and don’t know what’s happening.
Reminds me a lot of when I would shake my mother awake. The raspy voice where you can hear pure confusion.
Made me form the storyline of the mother hearing something and then waking up and saying “what is it?” Expecting her husband to have already been awake and alarmed but she was killed before she entirely woke up.
You’ve gotta keep this series going. I’m a millennial and it’s 2022. You know I watched the entire series in one night. This series is hilarious and I need more
They have their own channel now and just started a new series just like this a few days ago. The CZcams channel is called "Watcher".
Their new show is called “Ghost Files”, and it’s a blast. Absolutely great production.
The wildest part of them all sleeping through the slaughtering isn’t that the house is so small, it’s that many of them not only shared rooms but BEDS. How do you not wake up when the person lying next to you is being murdered with an axe???
One theory is that he drugged their food.
This is considered basically solved!! You've GOT to read Man from the Train by Bill James & Rachel McCarthy James, about this case and others.
Basically, the guy was a prolific axe murderer of families across the United States for decades, but never caught because of the way information wasn't shared then like it is now. At the end of the book, the authors think they've solved it. I read it over a year ago and I still think about it at least once a week.
The adult woman did wake up, or so it seems. The children would likely have been frozen with fear.
@@truckinconvoy7312 The one who seems to have woken up was the 12 year old guest.
not to mention the creaky floorboards. youd think atleast 2 or more people would be light sleepers enough to hear someone moving around the house
“you do what you do to make your girlfriend feel safe” im crying that is so cute, as he should tbh

I thought that was sweet. Shane it's a lucky girl who has you for a boy friend.
@@shawnnewell4541 Sara and Shane are both lucky to have each other 💕
Honestly, I hate it when Ryan will count down for the ghosts saying if they don't say anything he's gonna turn it off. That wouldn't make me wanna talk to him if I were a ghost.
As an Iowan, I'm so happy that you guys did this case!
Even if he doesn’t believe just hearing Shane say “I’m terrified” makes me scared. He never gets scared so if he says it I’m preparing myself
Wait when did he say that?
@@greysonmitchell9979 the beginning when he was talking about how he’s terrified to be in Iowa XD
To be fair, he said he doesn’t act scared merely cause he doesn’t believe in anything. If he did he claimed he’d be just like Ryan. A total wimp lmao
I'm sorry, but Shane's reaction to Ryan saying ghosts are real and unicorns aren't had me crying 😂😂😂😂
XD
