Julie the Naked Ghost: A "True" New Orleans Folktale

[@ZNZbane]

2:20 imagine just walking through new orleans together and you hear this weird dude talking into a camera going "Oh yES LoRD WallINGSfoRD ShE wILl BreED"

[@TN-ci4ox]

I’d probably continue the joke while walking bye

[@jthompson2379]

Now I'm hearing that old maroon 5 song: 🎶She wiiiiilll be looooved🎶 But, ya know.. bred. And in that accent.

[@bonniea8189]

I used to live in a building in London where one of the Jack the Ripper murders happened. Was pretty weird opening the door to "and this is where the body was found" and stepping over the imaginary body out of "respect" as the whole group paused.

[@Kobolds_in_a_trenchcoat]

@@semiramisbonaparte1627 This comment was explaining a joke in the video. It's not out of nowhere. The joke itself is somewhat flawed in that plenty of older virigins have no issues at all and plenty of sociopaths and psychopaths are promiscuous but as someone who analyzes comedy like that, it's needlessly boring. The issue with this extremely off-hand joke shouldn't be that it's a hitler reference, I think that part was lost on a lot of people (it was on me until I saw this thread).

[@lichlord9838]

@@KoreaMojo I'm no psychologist but I remember an AMA with someone claiming to be a "real life psychopath" and the subject of sex came up. He said he honestly had no sex drive, couldn't care less. He had a boyfriend and said it was, in more polite terms, an enjoyable sensation to sleep with him but he didn't crave it like normal people. I got the impression from that and some other comments it's a known thing with psychos. But again, the whole of my knowledge on the subject comes from a reddit thread.

[@blaquevamp]

Thank you for confirming this story that for years I tried to uncover after hearing it once in New Orleans when I was 15. I love your videos.

[@d.m.collins1501]

I'd like to think that Julie's ghost infects the souls of the tenants of the apartment where she used to live, and when the occasion is right, she forces them to get naked on the roof until death, or the cops, drag them away.

You got dowry the wrong way around; it's money that comes with the bride, given to her new husband from her parents, not to her parents in exchange for her. I like your English accent though.

Potayto potaato. In Africa, dowry is often used to mean bride price. It's a common way to use the word

[@donniefitz8038]

Dowry can go either way depending on the culture. He’s correct

Dowry in my country means the price you'd pay to the bride's parents to marry her, so the word is applicable to both

"Make sure they're not virgins until 35... that's how wars start" that's probably the reason why the Viking age started

[@current9300]

A very late answer, but one theory of viking voyages and raiding actually is lack of marriageable women in Scandinavia since tribal chieftains and notable men would often take several concubines (custom they continued until early Nordic Christianity). One piece of evidence for it is genetics of Iceland, most of it's population has Celtic female ancestors which suggests that the vikings who settled Iceland brought Celtic slave girls abducted from Britain with them.
