A Collection Of Horrible Fates

Fate is defined as the development of events beyond a person's control. In this video, we’re going to go over two more confusing and disturbing stories. In particular, the second starts off seeming very plain and straightforward, and then with each revelation, just gets more and more horrifying. So, as always, viewer discretion is advised. This is part 30.

[@chendaforest]

Good call, although it was less of a thing pre-you tube and social media.

[@lawrencetalbot8346]

If it was that visitor, person had a really weird obsession with those smoke stacks. Maybe they just wanted to see what in them or how it worked down below, damn to fall and break your butt then slowly cook to death. Not a fun time

[@YourMajesty733]

Perhaps it was a woman with malintent. Went to the uni to get info on how the stacks worked. Then somehow got the victim (tricked them to willingly go, or maybe perhaps an organzied crime group/gang/mob that forced) to get the victim inside. 🤷‍♂️ Police should have looked into identifying the original woman.

I wonder if there's anything to them refusing to look at the card while the main suspects were alive. It's pretty creepy that they knew about these people all along and did nothing. Then again cops just suck most of the time, how many are sociopaths because they know you're immune to almost everything as a cop. They can do almost anything and you see them getting away with something every other day. It's an evil country but nobody wants to acknowledge how the "system" is evil. We let this get so out of control and we're just wretched slaves who actually pay them. We have no power.

Fun fact: radar guns are supposed to be tested and maintained every so often, and they have parameters they're supposed to stay within (like only being used at a straight on 90 degree angle, not off at an angle so you can sometimes get tickets thrown out because cops dont do any of the required work on the guns and they dont read the manual because to cover their ass the manufactures invalidate results if the gun isnt used exactly the way they say.

[@lornaginetteharrison7168]

When my dad was an apprentice at British Leyland, a [now defunct] car manufacturer in the UK, at the beginning of his career many decades ago (he’s currently nearly 81), he was asked to check on something in one of the paint ovens just before it was due to be turned on. There was a fault with the door which prevented it from staying open, so his mate was told to keep his foot in the doorway to stop it from closing shut. My dad went in, did his work, then heard a bang. The door was closed! My dad panicked, as there was no way of opening the door from the inside. He started shouting and banging on the door. He says he can’t remember how long he was stuck in there, but he knew that the oven would start heating up soon. Fortunately the door was opened in the nick of time by his "mate", who was laughing his head off and couldn’t understand why my dad was so upset and angry. He said he’d got bored and went to go do something else, but just couldn’t grasp the seriousness of his negligence, leaving my dad trapped in an oven! One would hope that some sort of health and safety investigation would take place immediately if that happened today, but at the time, way back then, nobody in charge appeared to be at all bothered about my dad’s brush with potential death.

[@paweborkowski6959]

Damn. That's disturbing. When I was 10, I went to my friend's house on Wednesdays to play computer games. One Wednesday, his friend whom I immediately didn't like for some reason, came over. I almost begged my friend not to let the other kid in, but he didn't listen. Twenty minutes passed and I went to the bathroom. When I came out, my friend and his friend jumped at me with a cleaver and a kitchen knife telling me they would cut my throat. They got me against the door, with the cleaver against my throat and the knife next to my stomach. I was scared like never before (and maybe never after) but after a few moments, they started laughing saying it was a prank that I fell for. I screamed at my 'friend' to let me out. He kind of realised he screwed up badly and tried apologising to me but wasn't having it. I screamed louder at him to let me out. He opened the door and rushed outside, realising only after a few moments I left my jacket at his place but I wasn't going back. I ran home. At school, he tried to apologise a few times, saying it was his friend who convinced him to do the prank with him, but for me that was it. I never spoke to him which was weird considering we went to the same class. I never told anyone this until years later when I remembered the event after supressing it for a long time. As for the kid, I only had to ignore him til the end of that year, because surprisingly the whole family moved without telling anyone and I never found out what happened to him.

[@mattislindehag3065]

Well, yes, they could have. The method is 95% accurate meaning that they are right the vast majority of times but with enough bone testing over a long period of time the chanse that this method will misidentify someone AT SOME POINT is 100%. This could be one of the cases where a misidentification happened.

How about this? There's a missing person from another country who went through a sex change operation and then came to this country for visit.

Theres a book about the second case called Hell in the Heartland. As for shawn, he wasnt killed by an officer, but was gun down by an off-duty deputy in training and his uncle was the sheriff at the time. It's also said that when Danny's body was officially found there was a boot print on him that of a cowboy boot and the only one he wore cowboy boots the crime the previous day was the sheriff, who was still the uncle of the man who shot and killed Shawn. And they never found the gun they said Sean pulled before being gunned down. The whole case was riddled with police incompetence, and overall I wouldn't have been surprised if the police knew about who killed them, or simply didn't care because the family was just days away from filing against the sheriff's department for wrongful death in the case of Shawn.

i'm guessing there'd be too many flights to check, especially if the burnt up ticket didn't specify where they'd be leaving and where they're headed and on what day. i don't know how much identifiable information was visible on the ticket though

[@Itried20takennames]

Possibly, but many people don’t make flights they paid for. My mom was a flight attendant and I used to travel with her “space available” passes, where you could fly for almost free if you waited at the gate, and a seat/seats were left open. Even on flights booked totally full (you can check online), I and usually 6-7 others would get on, because 10 or so paid passengers weren’t there when the plane left. So that could still be a large amount of people.

The first story is so weird. Its either self deletion, some weird fetish, or the female visitor to the other plant disposed of a body. I dont see any other reason to curl up on the pipes several times during the tour and creep out that plant worker. They wanted to make sure they fit/the body fit and could be in there until the thing turned on. Either to burn the body/thenselves away or thinking that since steam and heat rises, they could be in there and somehow safe. I am leaning towards the self delete, fell in but didnt immediately perish, and the rest was frantic regret until the temp got too high. The dna test is wrong or the man was so effeminate that the plant worker assumed wrong.

[@bondickle]

Yeah the first story kind of reminds me of you female news reporter who asked a police officer (or some sort of official) what the best way to self-delete via gun is and then after he told her the most successful method, she did it live on air.

I'm going to suggest that the first person was a trans woman and that the guy giving her the tour was unaware. I know that the pelvis isn't a definite proof, I am actually someone with an unclear pelvic shape based on my xrays. But it would also explain why nobody reported her missing, because a lot of trans people have to deal with being disowned. She may also have been autistic, hence the fascination with the industry and the smokestacks and also the shyness, and autistic people have a higher than average rate of being trans. A lot of autistic people 'wander off' and end up sadly deceased in unusual places because they didn't recognize the danger. Drowning in a random lake after going missing is a common story.

Your channel has become a favorite, along with Fascinating Horror. I appreciate the way each of you tell the stories respectfully, and seem to be as factually accurate as possible.

Dude you almost got a million subs this channel grew fast.

I don't understand why the police didn't check all airlines within the last 30 days of passengers who had booked a "to" and "from" destination ticket and never boarded to return.

[@yakacm]

I've heard that 1st story before, and from the all the true crime and scary interesting type videos I've watched it's always stuck with me as being a horrific way to die.

[@kendrajones-devol9348]

Phenomenal work again! Love your channel. ❤

thank you i always look for these every sunday

The item that the police refused to take the car insurance card annoyed me because. I’m currently in college for forensics Investigation Crime scene and we are told that we are supposed to take every thing at the scene or around or near the property

[@immorttalis]

The way you present the cases and your voicework has kept me coming back for many a month now. Keep up the quality work, man!

[@minecraftjunky2001]

Imagine having absolutely no leads on a case, but still somehow being certain that an insurance card that has no logical reason to be on site couldn't possibly be a clue. Everyone who worked that case should be fired

[@ScytheNoire]

Those girls died due to police incompetence. They had the suspects names.

[@UnicornSpoonie]

Thank you for the great content as always! I’d heard the sad second story but I actually hadn’t heard the first and I have seen or read about most American horrible fates. So kudos to you finding a new one for me!! I’m always excited when someone can do that! 😀✌️💛

[@swallowxx]

That first story. I don't know how I ended up learning about this, but I remember it really freaked me out. How does someone end up in a situation like that? Were they fooling around and accidentally fell? Or maybe they thought they could get out easily? I also thought about the "terminal burrowing" thing but the person was fully conscious.

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

Check out the Asian guy in the portapotty. That one was baffling!

I’ve officially binged all of your videos. Every single one. I put my earbuds in at work and listen to them while working as it helps the night go by faster. I absolutely love the content and I can’t wait for more. My favorite videos are the cave diving ones.

[@6ubble-gum]

I really feel like in the first story they hit that tiny margin of error. I mean, it's definitely not unheard of to identify bones as one sex, and then have it end up being another. Especially considering some odd little details, like the shoe size being small.

[@Ray-pd9ff]

Re: the first story. Random visitors to a steam plant can get a tour? Can any steam plant workers confirm if this is still likely?

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

Weren't they interested in working there?

[@bertbaker7067]

@@a.nobodys.nobody that makes sense, so I listened to that part again, but he only ever says "visitor" and never mentions anything about a job or application or anything else to hint at a job. Unless I missed it twice, idk

[@TAKAT0NIC]

@@bertbaker7067The plant that the tour happened in seems to be part of a university so I imagine it wasn’t unusual for them to give tours to random visitors who were interested in how the machines work, especially in pre-internet days.

The last story is WHY vigilantes exist.

[@TRONvsRINZLER]

I think in the case of "Ashley and Laura", the Police were accomplice to the murders because they hated Kathy's family. 1 ) The death of the son might not be what the police reported (the gun might have been planted after the shooting) and they knew it would be believable because of his previous records. 2) Police officers investigating the burnt-down trailer purposefully ignored Danny's body, so that they would pin the murder of Kathy and the disappearance of the two girls on Danny, misleading the investigation. 3) And for the same reason, continued to ignore the auto-insurance card because they knew it could lead to the actual murderers. The Police officers definitely had a grudge against that family, and the other family members knew it so they searched the remains themselves.

[@karenc4544]

I have always thought this. There is simply no way these monsters could’ve been so vocal about this crime and get away with it unless they weren’t worried about police. I think at least some officers were involved with their drug business. And maybe other things too. I believe the file that lead straight to the suspects wasn’t misplaced on accident. And refusing to investigate the insurance card was also because they knew where it would lead. There’s plenty of cases of corrupt cops committing depraved crimes like rape, murder and even serial killing. Those meth dealers had some friends in high places.

Been binging ur videos all day, its so refreshijng to see stories like this that arent regurgitated all over these kjinds of channels. These are actually stoires i've never heard of considering how old some of them are

[@alsmith9853]

It's odd but some folk seem to have a desire to climb into chimneys and often die there. Possibly a fetish? This isn't the first story of a corpse found in a chimney

Have you considered doing occasional videos for current missing persons cases/amber alerts? I think your videos might be able to reach more viewers who might be able to assist or provide tips to these cases.

[@consciousobserver629]

Immunity, $25k reward, lighter sentence (only 2 years served!!), in exchange for very little. They never even found their bodies. I was convinced that the police were involved. Maybe they set them up? Well, gruesome story!! Poor girls. 😢

[@candyd.4398]

I doubt the police set him up since several victims collaborated his story, but it’s insane how he got a lighter sentence considering he didn’t even help the case and he got out of prison after barely serving any time, smh. No justice for the victims, unfortunately.

why did you stop with numbering the episodes?

[@lyricsden]

Thanks for posting.

[@bluejediforce]

For the first story, maybe the visitor was a woman trying to get rid of a bad partner via chimney, or maybe she was trans and tried to commit suicide or something in a strange way??? Idk but I DEFINITELY think the visitor and the person who died are linked somehow. Either way that sound like a horrible way to go. You fall and break your lower body, basically, in a cramped space that's very hot but survivable, until one day a blast of boiling air kills you :(

[@poponachtschnecke]

I think it was organized crime.

[@Roblyn2020]

I have great sympathy for the Bible family, but I will always question why they allowed their daughter to spend the night at the home of a known drug user who who was also known to be violent. This was in a small town where everyone knows everyone's business, so they knew what Ashley's home life was like. Yet they allowed their daughter to stay overnight in a remote trailer home with a violent drug abuser. Several times a year I drive by the Pizza Hut where Ashley's birthday party was that fateful night and I always say a prayer for the girls.

[@NorthernRealmJackal]

Hey SI. Really appreciate the narration and research, and I'm always looking forward to the next upload. But many uploads have identical titles - have you considered numbering your many reoccurring video formats like you used to? It'd make it much easier to verify whether we've already watched a particularly video.

[@DeadAndAliveCat]

It saddens me to see good creators use AI generated thumbnails

[@WouldntULikeToKnow.]

Yeah, it just seems lazy

[@GeeZaaq]

Maybe in the first story it was a trans woman. That would explain why their appearance was feminine, but the bones were masculine. Just an idea.

[@WouldntULikeToKnow.]

Or someone in disguise

[@GeeZaaq]

@@WouldntULikeToKnow. also a good idea

[@757Princess]

if it was a taller woman like myself of course her feet would be a size 8 which is pretty small for a man. Does having wide set hips mean you have a larger pelvis bone?

[@jerseyjoyride1316]

I just posted this thought too, I didn't see your's first. I think it's a really plausible idea. So what if we narrowed it down to countries that are known for having higher than average sex change operations. I would think Thailand would be one of the first ones to look at for missing people in that year. Now here's where it gets tough because to Google something in another country, you will only get results in English.
