FILM IT : Creepy Outdoor Drug Den in Baltimore : People Watching Me From Above

[@kevinspilker6622]

Dan has reached a previously unknown level of bravery. He's gone from "lemme sneak into this 150 year old hotel in the middle of the night that probably has ghosts, squatters, or both" to "Imma just check out this trap house real quick. While I'm here, it'd be rude if I didn't stick my head in and say hello."

[@DanBellFilmIt]

Not proud.

[@baltimoreluke]

Looks like a lot of it was filmed around parts of North Ave that aren't the worst parts of Baltimore. Still, it's not "brave" to go around filming on the side streets. It's stupid. If a man puts his hand in a shark tank, he's not a victim when a shark bites it off. Filming in those places is putting your hand in the shark tank. The guys there are operating a business. Don't fuck with it.

[@foxburrows]

I think those crows might be the single most ominous thing I’ve ever seen on your channel.

[@sc1338]

I thought it was an effect at first 😂😂

[@lana_6336]

They crowd in areas of death and despair.

[@RandomMetalChick000]

​@@lana_6336 Factually that is incorrect. They live in large roost during the winter months for protection and because of migration, it's basically a large extended family reunion. They fly together as a way to find potential mates. Just like pigeons, crows thrive in cities due to the high availability of trash and waste. Crows eat small critters and bugs, so lots of trash attracts bugs and smaller critters. Please don't add to the stigma these birds already face.

[@nikkireigns]

Were those crows or starlings?

I’d like to see a tour of Fells Point. It’s got an interesting industrial dock history even though it’s been gentrified.

BTW the biggest rat I ever saw was in the “nice” neighborhood of Mt. Vernon about a block from where you ended your video. Initially, I thought it was a cat it was so big. 😂
