A Collection of Horrible Fates

In this episode, we’re going to go over three stories about situations that, at face value, seem totally harmless. But it’s exactly this false sense of security that resulted in something going horrifyingly wrong for the people involved. You’ll see what I mean. This is part 32.

The Bernard story is terrifying. An old man with a deteriorating mind due to dementia essentially stuck in what might as well be the backrooms, dying alone, confused and scared when all he was trying to do was find his family.

[@Alice-si8uz]

If the watch was broken he shouldn't have been alone... He was known to have had dementia so had a reduced sense of time and ability to remember things so he needed someone with him. I'm not saying the mall owners aren't at fault as it's a dangerous layout for anyone (who the hell designed that horror) but she's still partly at fault.

​@@Alice-si8uzthat was the only thing that set me off. If they knew he had a history of wandering and he had early-onset dementia, why would they let him by himself if they at least don't have a way to track him? The whole story is nothing but "preventable mistakes" over and over again

[@XRay22AW]

If I am remembering this case correctly, he actually went out by himself regularly which was why he was given the gps in case he did get lost. He knew he would get lost so what he would do is sit somewhere and wait for someone to find him once he realized he had lost his way. The reason he was found in the position he was in was because after trying and failing to get back out of the door that locked behind him, he found a chair, sat down, and waited until he eventually passed away.

[@ErikaTBus]

I had to go back and listen to that one again. If he were waiting at the mall and disappeared, I'm surprised nobody searched the stairs sooner and it wasn't until a maintenance guy found him. So incredibly sad and frustrating!

[@demo2823]

Those corridors are just a major human safety issue, I am absolutely shocked that after so many people got trapped in them, there were no changes made. They should treat it like caves that people get trapped in and just cement them up, since apparently nobody cared to place exit arrows and remove the self locking doors.

In the years since the night of baby Aazaria's fatal encounter with a dingo it has been well established that wild dingos have lost their fear of humans, with one even opening the fastener on a couple's camper and dragging their toddler son off into the brush before people caught up to it and were thankfully able to intervene. The boy did survive but his bite injuries were horrific.

[@AyeliaGDoren]

I thought it was pretty solidly established that most large predators will hunt human infants and children. Domesticated dogs kill children often enough that the idea of a dingo doing it doesn't seem too far fetched. Poor woman.

[@Lawrence_Talbot]

What’s equally sad is that “dingo ate my baby” became a running joke/gag/meme back then because the media globally slandered this family’s name and mocked her testimony. I remember even Seinfeld show did a bit about Dingo ate my baby, which at the time was funny, but looking back knowing all the details is just a sad reminder of how horrible this innocent family was treated

[@CarolDowning-lm7fm]

​@@Lawrence_TalbotI was going to say the same thing. How heartbreaking it must be for Azalea's parents that the way she was taken & killed is widely considered a joke & how often they have been harassed & tormented with that simple truth.

@@Lawrence_Talbot I remember that Seinfeld episode. And several years ago I was having a conversation with someone not born in this country who didn't get the reference until I brought up the plot of the movie A Cry in the Dark. So I guess my point is that it was already well known that a dingo really did take her baby long before Seinfeld was even a household name. That makes that episode all the more socially unacceptable imho.

[@daycore_frisk]

Hey, Australian Here! I really liked how in-depth you went in for the story of Azaria, we actually learn it at school in I think 8-9th grade in English! We learned it as a part of media studies, so for example how the news took advantage of the situation and basically created a case of trial by media. It was also nice to hear more about the history of Uluru at the beginning so that people know the cultural heritage, nice touch. :) One really messed up part of the story is that in the media said that Lindy was 'too calm' about the fact that her baby is dead and that it meant she HAD to be guilty. The amount of trial by media in the case definitely created so much bias and I know for a FACT that at least 2-3 people on that jury were biased, and all of the mistakes with the car and the jacket and everything is just so messed up. Anyways, amazing video as usual!

Terrible that the police would put those parents through another terrible ordeal after losing their baby. But when a child is involved, many people act very emotionally and without logic, demanding a scapegoat, no matter what the facts state.

what's worse is lindy was pregnant during the trial & was forced to give birth in prison & missed years of her new baby's life while she was behind bars. it's very possible the jury saw her pregnant at trial & assumed it would be another "sacrifice". it cannot be overstated just how powerful the prejudice & misinformation was surrounding lindy at the time and there are people who still swear to this day that it was murder. just crazy

[@kathryncumberland]

What they did to that family, Lindy in particular, was horrifying! There was ample evidence that the story about the dingo was the truth. But the Satanic Panic of the 80s and 90s had people ignoring common sense in favor of outlandish evil fantasies.

Sadly there are similar stories from all over the world.

There's actually often even more motive for it in a lot of America where many law enforcement positions are elected, which luckily isn't the case in Australia, but not having to chase votes doesn't make them any better at actually admitting that if you have to hide evidence from the jury then maybe you shouldn't be quite so confident about your case.

The mall is a very important lesson in architectural ethics. You don't create labyrinths with little to no signage, no security cameras, and self-locking doors. Those conditions create nightmarish and incredibly dangerous situations for people who did something as benign as mistake one of the doors for a bathroom corridor. Architectural design should not punish people so severely for making simple mistakes- it should gently guide lost people back to a place where they can get help. The creation of this backrooms-esque abomination is totally unacceptable, and I strongly condemn the architects behind its creation. Laziness and cost-cutting measures should never be allowed to create such a monster.

[@lancepage1914]

After this event there has been reform with how fire exits in malls are designed in Australia. My local mall had fire exit labyrinths like in this story. They have recently been redesigned to prevent people getting trapped in them. The problem with old design fire exits is they are not supposed to be used as thoroughfares. They are Exits Only! Which means you have to go to the very end of the circuit and the very last door at the end of the circuit will be unlocked to go outside the mall. Not everyone is aware that when you enter a fire exit and that door shuts behind you, it's locked and you cannot go back. People freak out to find it's locked and they can't go back. That's what happened to this poor old bloke. A potential death trap to those unaware of its function.

It is alleged the ranger (an idiot dog lover), that was given the task took the dingo and released it a large distance away... the dog then returned. Because of this f*ck up, it was alleged there was a cover-up, hence the blame of the parents.

Yeah that sounds like you've been drugged. I've had black-out nights, but never like that. Scary stuff. Friend of my family was drugged like that and is still in a coma months later. Her life is done because of one sociopath.. take care man

[@CthulhuianBunny]

The fact that the back hallways of that mall don't even have a silent alarm to notify security seems like a gross oversight.

[@laboy7728]

You totally deserve that 1M subs Sean. Your content is amazing!

[@t_albino]

Congrats on 1 million subs Sean! The moment I saw that photo of Ayers Rock/Uluru I knew exactly what story was coming up... And I followed the first story here in the UK when it first broke. It sounds crazy, but when you see the enormous crushing ability of the compactors in those vans, nothing would stand a chance. Feel sorry for the guy, but I'm even more surprised NONE of the people he encountered thought they should tell authorities, just in case. Alcoholism is no joke, and the world needs to stop treating it that way.

I enjoy listening to your narration while I draw. Just one thing, snakes and spiders as well as some mushrooms and plants, may be “poisonous” if you ingest them, but “venomous” if they bite or sting you.

Damn 1 mill is wild, I honestly hadn’t even noticed your sub count since I first started watching a few years ago. A lot of similar channels have popped up since but yours is the one I always come to first. Congrats 😫🙏🏼

i’ve heard bernard’s story before. so many things could have prevented his death, for one the family was very careless with letting him out on his own knowing what was going on. the security of the mall should’ve checked EVERYWHERE. they were careless with checking cameras as well. i hate that he was most likely scared and knew no one would come help him

[@butterscotchhoh]

Happy 1M!! I’m glad you hit this big milestone! I can’t wait to see your channel grow even more :)🎉

I listen to your channel at work. I work alone most of the time and it really helps pass the time .Big thanks. 😊

What happened to Bernard was horrible. The fact that his wife was fine with him going off alone made me angry. I've seen too many instances of that over the years.

[@LeanneFowler-ms5xc]

Maybe his wife had a little bit of Alzheimer's and/ or forgetfulness also. If that is true, shame on their family members for absolute 100% sure!!!

[@redneckcaseyjones]

Man that first story..... I can relate because i had the same happen to me. I used to bar hop and got to drunk one night to drive my mopad so i parked beside some big dumpsters and it was raining i ended up passing out in one of the dumpsters and few hours later i was tumbling into the back of the trash truck, I remember screaming and beating against the back if the cab while trying to stand on slippery wet garbage, i even had the compactor squeezed me with a foot gap between the compactor and the cab and remember how helpless i felt but some how i lived, when i relized i could climb up and out after hearing the driver slam hiim door and shouting over the engine. I climed up and stood on the top of the cab of the truck and couldnt do anything but laugh, Im not sure why but its just one of them reposnes i guess The driver caled 911 as anyone would cops came out checked me out i was ok but had to sleep the night in jail. But yea I got some PTSD from that day.

[@AllegraBottlik]

Holy crap I'm glad you're alive!

[@legitimatehumanbeing8746]

Fire exit regulations in Australia are very strict, those horizontal bars halfway up the door are panic bars that allow the doors to open. There is a way out if you follow the arrows. The guards should be checking the fire stairs often as young troublemakers hang out there. That was a very tragic thing to happen

[@Kevtheka]

Happy 1mil!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 love ur vids 😊

[@bluejediforce]

The first story, I have a suspicion that the garbage company wasn't actually lying on purpose. I bet they saw 116kg and misread it as 11.6kg, because I KNOW that's a mistake so many people, including myself, would make.

[@lyricsden]

Thank you for posting!

[@Drakarys]

I'm sorry, what? How exactly are 14 kilometers of labyrinth that has no markings whatsoever and take 6 hours to traverse helpful in case of fire?!? One would assume that if there is fire you should be able to gtfo in the fastest and easiest way possible, no? How did the conversation about building this death trap exactly go with the management? "Sooo what's the plan if there is a fire?" "Build obvious fire doors and label them properly to be easy to see." "Great. They should lead directly outside in the fastest way possible and..." "Naaah, they should lead to an underground maze." "BRILLIANT IDEA, BOSS!!!" "And make it long, like 14 km long so it would take 6-7 hours at least to get out." "GENIUS, BOSS! "And let's save some budget from paint and not label anything down there so it would be way easier to get lost and confuse the fire." "BEST FIRE ESCAPE PLAN EVER!!!" In what universe does this idiocy make any sense...

[@mattwilkinson5858]

What makes Bernard’s story sadder is his son and wife told him if he ever got lost or confused to find somewhere to sit and wait, they will find him. So he found that chair and just waited

[@SirSmilingPhantom]

Congrats on the 1 million subs! I have a memory of when you were around 25k and asking your subscribers if you should be onscreen or if a voiceover was better…dunno why but the honesty & down to earth approach really stuck with me…don’t even know if it’s a real memory lol but your content has been with me many a night!

Why would you EVER let someone with dementia wander around on their own? I don't care if you think it's a closed area and easily monitored, they are essentially oversized toddlers and absolutely will slip away. You NEVER let a dementia patient wander on their own

[@JoHnAnDjAnEdOe81]

CONGRATS ON A MILL! That's an amazing accomplishment. Keep up the good work and can not wait to see that number double ❤

[@BuglordSupreme]

Important to mention that Lindy Chamberlain’s conviction and the press’ hatred towards her was also based on sexism. Because she was not grieving or crying or showing strong emotions like “a mother was supposed to” people thought that she had to be guilty. It’s also why “body language” analysis is pseudo-science at best and made up crap at worst. Those who were “body language specialists” claimed that she had to be guilty based on how she moved and talked. Poor woman.

[@RealGrooveRandom]

1M Subs well deserved.. keep up the great work!

[@thedisappointedoptimist6916]

What happened to Cory doesn't make me sad. It makes me incredibly angry. It reminds me of my friend Kristen that had such a bad drinking problem that we all had to cut her off. Even her own mother. She was that bad. We tried for years to help her, but it was just impossible to keep her clean. Eventually, we got sick of the verbal abuse when she was in her stupor, and we got tired of getting called from the emergency room in the middle of the night because she was found somewhere unconscious and dying from alcohol poisoning. I know she's gonna die like that one day-- passed out in some dark park or building. There just comes a point where you can't allow yourself to care for people who self destruct.

Woolworths is a grocery store, not a department store, just FYI. So they must have meant a Woolies inside of a shopping centre. Also what maniac built those fire corridors?

[@nickdarr7328]

You know the last story took place in a different era when you're listening to a horror channel and you casually hear in passing that a husband and wife with 2 small children picked up a hitchhiker in the middle of nowhere and yet that detail is completely irrelevant

[@miakischer]

For those wondering about Azaria's parents getting restitution for their false conviction, they were awarded $1.3 million in 1992. Just looked it up. Absolutely horrible what those parents went through. I can't help but wonder how much media attention while the investigation was still going played into the jury's decision. People raise their children in different ways. In America, its acceptable now to take young children on the road in skoolies or campers so they can experience the country in it's raw form and get back to nature. Back in the 80's, parents cared a lot less about child safety and it was more socially acceptable to let your kids run around in the neighborhood until the streetlights came on. Also, the fact that there were no documented cases yet of dingos preying on humans or their infants at that time makes the unjust bias this family received abosultely vicious. Crowd mentality is a real thing and despite the majority of the globe believing in a forgiving, benevolent higher power, we are quick to judge others on their behavior. So sad.

Mr Chamberlain was an English teacher at my high school. I never believed he or his wife had anything to do with their daughter’s disappearance and it was tragic what befell the family, the persecution was relentless. He was a good teacher and well respected. Rip Azaria.

Poor Bernard, his wife knows he has dementia and wanders off but doesn't seem bothered. Lets him wander off to his death. That beggars belief.

[@Steampunkkids]

The last story: Assuming I remember all the details of this case correctly, the mother put the infant, alone, down to sleep in the tent. The mother then joined her sons and husband, quite a distance away from the tent, at the fire. Just like in the case of Madeleine McCann, the child is gone due to negligence by the parents. If the parents had properly supervised their children, the outcomes would have been so different. The moral of the story: don’t neglect your kids!

[@leroysgamesandmore2226]

Why would you leave your child unattended when wild dogs are around 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@karolusmagnus8405]

The second story hit me hard because I know someone that's struck with severe dementia despite being young (62), yes I know he's an elder but nevertheless it applies. The person I speak of is the father of my wife's best friend and one time police was about TO arrest him because he stole chocolate cookies and a soda from a store and if it wasn't for a neighbor of his, charges would have been pressed, yes, the store owner claimed he had been stealing from his store for a long time. The prognosis is that he won't live pass 64, now he's lost his ability to speak and barely recognizes his wife and kids. Really sad, because he's one of the sweetest men I've met in my life.

[@wattsnottaken1]

Intriguing and Interesting This channel is so amazing I’ve been binge watching your videos while walking my dog the past couple weeks. Hollywood scary ain’t nothing compared to this terrifying channel

[@AnomalousBlake]

Bernard's story keeps me up at night sometimes...it fucks me up thinking about how confused and terrified that poor old man must have felt.

[@Shlepp]

The concept of having a 6 hour long hike through the service tunnels of a mall, seems pretty surreal and interesting

[@just_caitlin]

The death of Azaria and the persecution of her parents is so upsetting, but I just can't help thinking who'd think it was a good idea to go *camping* in the *Australian outback* with a *newborn* ???

[@Clo_Dub]

Having lost my grandad to Alzheimer’s in 2020, Bernard’s story absolutely horrifies me. That level of confusion; how vulnerable they are… Just awful.
