Halloween Special: Sawney Beane

[@purplegem23]

I'm living for the deadpan keyboard interludes XD

[@colormetakenaback]

The keyboard bits slay me 😂😂

[@berk6506]

What an underrated KZbin channel!

[@Fruitflysadist]

Absolutely! I think he needs to add the organ music to all the episodes from this time forward, though.

[@flightrissk]

Doc, srsly, you gotta setup Patreon. There’s hundreds if not thousands of us that would happily pay for extra content. Take my money!!

[@johnfletcher2301]

Andrew, this is some of the best true crime content comin out right now!

[@molly_moore]

The 🎹...😂❤

[@rifflinthemind.5793]

Thank you for choosing a folk tale for Halloween rather than a true crime case and also for choosing to add to the gravitas of the analysis with the sound effects! If you ever feel it's a topic you can say something meaningful on, I would love for you to cover a brief history of psychiatric asylums as they modernised, I feel like they have become spooky places that people without direct experience often misunderstand. Also, the idea of cave dwellers having lots of kids and eating the locals appears in Icelandic myths of Grylla. I suspect this story originated further north!

[@gerarddearie-zd2gb]

Not a folk tale. as such. There is some belief in Scotland that there is some basis to the idea of a family of brigands murdering travellers and hiding out in caves, not necessarily the whole incest and cannibal stuff. Once you get out of the central area of Scotland it is pretty deserted, even today.

[@JennieButler-e4w]

First time watching this one. Like you even better if that’s possible. Best online guy hands down. Thank you for being so funny and smart at the same time.

[@maggiegilbert412]

Being so focused on the third verse of that song and how to sing...so much so that you nearly miss what its about...and then being bummed out about it because it was a fun song and inc*st isn't cool...relatable content right there

[@gert8439]

Fab stuff! The bad smell bit reminded me of an experiment which might interest you, where disgusting conditions like bad smell and other stimulants were introduced into the room where subjects were asked to make moral judgements about different scenerarios. And the results were unconsciously affected - it suggests the disgust response to something like a bad smell can unconsciously increase our disgust at immoral behaviour. Humans be odd.

[@FEED_ME_A_STRAY_CAT]

That's interesting, I need to look more into that!

[@alexwright4040]

This was so much fun, plus as a Scot, I grew up being regaled with this tale and warnings to come straight home lest I run into what my mum called The Hills Have Eyes weirdos. A+ on your pronunciation of Scottish places. (Although your singing was distinctively Irish 🤣) “naebody” is pronounced nayb-dee too, ha ha.

[@nrivera4380]

LOL! You're usually so serious, so this side of you is so fun!

[@thomaswhitelake]

It just gets better Andrew! Music, 'Cave dwelling cannibals,' Prion Disease, 'beasts in the filed' and a host of good reasons to cooperate with one another for the wellness of all. My understanding is that a gene mutation has been discovered (Mead?) in some populations that protects against kuru, perhaps indicating wide spread incidents of cannibalism among our ancestors. Our choices in shaping a 'functional civilisation' is a profoundly relevant contemporary question, thanks for mentioning it!

[@findfafnir4280]

Happy Halloween!! This was a really fun episode to watch. Great work!!!

[@vivienneobrien1557]

Great multitasking, Andrew.

[@12time12]

Very interesting - looking forward to watching this tonight, thanks. I have Parkinson’s, diagnosed at age 22 with symptoms first appearing around 13, so am very interested in prions.

[@Fruitflysadist]

I think you’ve missed your calling of singing old Scottish, mythical, tabloid reported, songs with obscure organ accompaniment. I felt like I was in a Scottish version of “the pirates of the Caribbean” (pun not intended) 😂 Thank you! I did not know I needed that today.

[@batacumba]

Please do another one of these this year 😂

[@HerestheT]

Thanks for bringing us your videos!!!!!

[@HerestheT]

Love the organ sounds!!!!! Maybe so then in all of your videos lol because the macabre you cover is organ worthy!

[@OneDeepDegree]

Good Stuff! I’m excited for a new one! 🤙🏽

[@judye2116]

I always love Andrew's videos but this was ahhmazing! Yay Halloween!! 😂😂😂

[@fistyann8434]

This was terrific!

[@crowmedicine3890]

I'm loving this, thank you. Spooky season is so much fun.

[@kam6657]

🦉 Great Storyteller and Educator 🪶

[@vaunniethayer1484]

Andrew, this is delightful, glad to see you are having some fun with this as well as being educational.

[@lesliekupchanko5001]

My favorite video of yours, still is the one that explains why we are fascinated by True Crime.... It was hillarioys in a laugh-at-yourself type of way. Your love of human nature is obvious. It reminds me of Dr Oz. He has a special interest in humans as well. You both truly enjoy studying humans.

[@surfergirl2943]

😂😂 I love the music . This is awesome idea Andrew !! So appreciate your content.

[@fredpeterson75]

I love the way you tell stories. The keyboard is hilarious. I would love more casual content like this from you.

[@kareno7792]

Well that was fascinating! Dig the organ sound effects too.

[@rustemeyerk201]

So stoked! 😊

[@goodcatfilms4276]

Your channel is among the best man and I watch a lot lol keep it up please even if just for me lol

[@sanguinesoulful]

Your channel is my new favorite!

[@d.carter]

This was so fascinating. I love the organ sounds for Halloween 🎃☠️👻

[@metalmom1968]

Can’t wait for your spooky story this Halloween’

[@flightrissk]

Ohhh snap new Doc Andy vid 🙏

[@hopek7033]

This is great 😂 Was eating a snack, had to stop

[@JenniLynn1218]

My sister in law’s father died of prion disease. Doctors thought maybe it was from eating wild game, specifically deer (he was an avid deer hunter and always ate what he killed). I will never eat deer again as long as I live. I always get a lil dopamine rush when I see you have a new video out. Your insight is so interesting!

[@Justine-ut8ho]

There is a prion based disease in deer in the US right now. And hunters aren’t being educated about what prions are or how cooking will not kill them. I have relatives that eat deer and they believe that if the deer doesn’t look sick then it can’t be infected with the wasting disease. I wouldn’t risk it. Ever.

[@cmarina-yt]

This was hilarious. You have a great sense of humor, Andrew

[@emmyrose1802]

Halloween 🎃 special! An extra treat. I like it.

[@commentaccount7880]

damn we gotta get another halloween special

[@Marigold502]

Fascinating. ❤

[@MrM970]

Thanks!

[@tashaposlaniec8663]

LOVE the 🎹!!! You 🎸my friend.

[@margaretglaser6227]

love your shows merci

[@fatalisticbunny]

I'm here a year late because I've just discovered you and I've been catching up on your videos. Please keep doing these Halloween specials.

[@LinNoOne]

lawd that ballad can only be properly recited by a Scot no doubt, but this was lovely & I hope you will grace us with another spooky story this year!

[@sorguinazia]

Please, please keep doing these more “light” stories with the keyboard along with your regular content. You are my favourite crime analysis KZbin channel but this more comical take really kicked it up a notch.

[@Ray-r4e]

Am I the only one that imagined literal beans 🫘 running around doing all these nefarious things while listening to this? 😂

[@lesliekupchanko5001]

Thanks for bringing a smile to my face.... I love your knowledge. I recommend your videos a lot.

[@ToblerOwned619]

I love your videos!! And im back to ask for a video on Richard Russell AKA Skyking. I think your insight would be fascinating

[@callyotter]

Love your content, please make more!!!!!

[@BiffanyRN]

well done Andrew, Happy Halloween

[@FablewoodInnASMR]

would love your thoughts on the Sydney Powell of Akron case that happened recently (she was found guilty).

[@janetsettecasse4446]

fantastic chanel and brilliant commentary!

[@zareenwilhelm5811]

Great photos 😀

[@cynthiafisher3392]

Oooooo…He has his hair down for this one! Ok…I’m ready!

[@velvetbees]

A spooky story and a song. 😱🕸🦇🦇🦇🕷🍊 Awesome!

[@tld597]

😄😆😅 This video is so great!! Happy Halloween also!

[@turnbulls923]

I live your videos! But the Special effects in this one top it all 🎉❤😂

[@veronicalysyj9023]

This channel will have 500k subs one day

[@AmicaCream]

I am glad you talked about kuru, is it possible the disease could be some sort of protection to prevent humans to go extinct by eating each other?

[@HumanimalChannel]

Reminds me of "jock ohazeldean" As you read of sonny bean i just hear the song by Fairground Attraction!

[@jeremytracey3234]

My fav KZbinr rn 🙌

[@MiraMeunier]

your eewwww at the incestuous "seed" line in the ballad 👌😆 I'm something of a connoisseur of personal affect 🤔 not in a demeaning way but like I have a deep abiding love for the animating spirit of meaning within my sensitive attunement to personally expressive energy ☺️ I just love how that moment unfolded, despite the unfortunate topic lol we were on a mini psychospiritual rollercoaster together for the briefest of seconds ❣️ I like your low key creativity with the video format variety that is developing ☺️ I hope we get another taste of folkloric intrigue if you are ever so inspired again.

[@chrispjr]

We need more true crime with live soundtracks.

[@zareenwilhelm5811]

Noooo!! DON’T stop the organ sounds! Especially now on prions 😂

[@tyllrt]

this was a super fun watch for such a disturbing tale. that ballad was a treasure😂 remember kids dont be like ol sawny bean and join the prion dark side or yewl get holes in yer brain!

[@NickyBlue99]

Love the video! Great change of pace. Would love to see a video on Grant Amato!

[@MQuadrucci]

you really cut a wide swath with this one!

[@TheRachface92]

This should have way more views!

[@sax9eleven]

Listened to this while I dozed off for a mid morning nap. I dreamt we were hanging out and practicing stick and poke tattoos on each other, with a red fiery ink. Anyway, glad it wasn’t about cannibals! Love your channel ❤

[@luminouskaleidoscope73]

Yes! Hello. Happy Halloween 🎃

[@lindas5964]

About the bathroom thing… not sure if that’s taught or instinctual. Babies often play in their poop if given a chance and have no “instinctual” aversion to it. (Maybe that’s why I didn’t have kids? Lol!)

[@annieoakley8949]

Holy Keyboard, Batman!!! All you need now is a cowbell!!

[@Torgo-and-the-Lucifer-Cat]

Very nice and gruesome story despite the fact that it never actually happened in fact it is a complete myth happy Halloween❤

[@MQuadrucci]

thou doth protest too much, me thinks...🕵🏿

[@deborahdorosz3220]

This was interesting and fun. This also helps explain why one has a very visceral reaction to the Orgs in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Putting a fallen fellow soldier in the pot for dinner just sounds sickening, but also, just looking at one's peers as food seems barbaric.

[@LuckyLassoPigments]

This is fun! :)

[@jennesis2]

Those early cave-steaders were out for blood. Literally 🧛

[@boobootheballbreaker2092]

So glad to see more uploads! 🎃

[@spiralrose]

This is so fun. Thank you :-)

[@-Bill.]

The crime also exists in the Attack on Titan universe, just ask Hange, she describes it to her new Titan friends.

[@chrispjr]

Haha cold reading 16th century songs is gonna get you banned. This was very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

[@SugarBabyNaomi]

You're incredibly talented...

[@scarba]

Yay, I’m Scottish and we learned about this in primary school and this year Sawney Bean featured in my visit to the Edinburgh dungeon. Great fun. Is it well known in the US? That was Scot’s dialect not Gaelic. As a child I was told they ate English soldiers and a quick google tells me the English occupied that part of Scotland in the mid 1500s so I suspect the story was created to scare the English

using the blob to explain kuru 😭😭😭

[@Desert_Marcupial]

I love your insight also! Wish you were my psychiatrist 😂😂😂

[@GalCharlotteOG]

Nice hair Andrew…❤

[@LilyfromUruguay]

Hi, Andrew! Your first like is from Uruguay.

[@lauriethomasmd3760]

Don’t individuals occasionally make a misfolded protein? Could that lead to spontaneous prion disease?

[@timyo6288]

dude is playing cradle of filth on the keyboard

[@zareenwilhelm5811]

Oh damn. You got my number bro 😎 🎃

[@Saritabanana]

I’m so sorry but I just want to move that lamp to the left of that nice painting

[@KineticSoul2]

Isn’t it true that most species don’t each their own? Or am I wrong? I would guess that it’s a pretty natural social rule. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Loved the organ and singing!! 😆

[@KerryFowler-yk1eb]

Love the keyboard lol

[@sarahdabauss4399]

made me laugh so much today! scare off those prions

[@adrianavitzileou5198]

The beans were very dangerous. 😂

[@matthewsellers6028]

Liked it just for that joke about traditional accommodation

[@LoriAnnLuv]

This is folklore... It's good. I'm from Edinburgh 😂😅

[@dovecraplin376]

I knew he was a musician
