I'm from Lewisham, my mother used to always reminded me about the bombing in Lewisham market when going there. The primary school my children went to was bombed during WW2 killing children in the playground. I was born in 1960, we had quiet a few neighbours who had shrapnel because of the many bombings in the borough of Lewisham during this war, just one borough of many. I no longer live in London, but this bought back memories, I wandered off in Lewisham market once when quiet small, I was wailing for me mummy, boy did I get told off when she found me. Thankyou for making me think of home❤

We have pictures of WWll. My fiancés grandfather was a photographer for the military. They’re so old,so we don’t take them out a lot, but some of the pictures are CRAZY. One pic of a horse, dead, in a TREE.. Also pics of Normandy too. Hundreds of pictures,of all kinds of military men, tanks, all that kind of stuff, just amazing..

[@CleoHarperReturns]

We have a couple of odd pictures from my great uncle. Not as odd as yours, but I'm betting ours hint at a much darker event. Our two pictures are of a wide Japanese lane. It took me decades to realize what we were looking at because I didn't understand the objects. Now I do: Stacked kitchen braziers (big earthen pots for fire) filled with teapots, dishes, and other cooking necessities. They're all stacked neatly in a grid pattern as if each belonged to a different home along that street. Inventory? But who stacked them? Why only their kitchens? Had it been soldiers, I doubt there would have been such neat organization, considering the only value they could have held was to the original owners. A neighbor, possibly? Hopeful of future return? Also, there was none of the gorgeous foliage you see in photos of old prewar Japan. It looked more like hard-packed desert. Not a leaf in sight except for a distant palm tree. Plain heavy brick structures. It's hard to see if they were outdoor perimeter walls, storerooms or just roofless homes. The place looked more like a stateside intern camp but my uncle definitely went to Okinawa and not out west. It makes me wonder what he was doing there but he's long been gone and can't be asked. He was not a pleasant man (at least to women) so I doubt I would have asked him anyway. I'm afraid to know how that poor horse found its way into a tree. Animals stuck in a war-torn environment are often an unspoken tragedy. The rest however I'd be really interested in seeing. Would your fiance be interested in showing them online?

[@TH-hy9kr]

If you can, you should scan them on archival paper or at least photograph them with your phone and save them digitally for future generations. Those are important pieces of history. My FIL has a lot from Vietnam. He was a medic.

[@shellz3295]

You cannot die from a tarantula bite. They're harmless until you antagonise them. They bite in self defense. Stop killing them!! 🕷️🕸️ Spiders are friends.

[@ImaKhunt007]

The banana spiders are quite aggressive and venomous.

[@LexaJ828]

Agreed, I love spiders and I hate that people joke about k*lling them.

[@LexaJ828]

@@ImaKhunt007where did you find that info? I can’t find anything about them attacking humans for no reason. Most spiders tend to run away when threatened, as humans are so much bigger than them

[@CocoWantsACracker]

@@LexaJ828 The people 'joking' about that are probably arachnophobic and not really joking at all. They know most spiders are harmless and useful creatures, but are so irrationally afraid of them that they can't even stand knowing there is a spider around their house they have seen. I was like them too. It took me a conscious effort and several nerve-wrecking experiences to overcome the worst of my fear. It also helps that I now have one of those sticks with bristles at the end that allow you to gently grab a spider, move it outside and release it. But I also know people who are so afraid of spiders that they feel the stick I have is way too short. I don't think it's fair to blame people for killing spiders out of fear, as I know from experience that this fear can be all-consuming. And in the end, other animals kill each other as well - the spider in this story even tried to the best of its ability to kill the human that threatened it, and I am sure it would have done just that if it had had the means to...out of an equally big fear.

[@darthlardian566]

Thank you! Im always screaming this. I collect tarantulas and yes, some do try to attack for no reason but most are calm and docile. Some are the sweetest and some can just be evil. But no, tarantula bites do NOT kill people. They can die from side effects but not the bite itself.

[@amberhendrix5753]

Of course they think the tarantula is going to kill them. Hasn't everyone heard The Banana Boat Song? "Highly deadly, black tarantula!" Yeah, my heart would have given out after my death scream! 😂

[@stuartfishman719]

Tarantulas are not fatally dangerous...some of the 860 species are significantly toxic but as of 2023 there have been no recorded fatalities from tarantulas.

It wasn't a tarantula, it was a banana spider or Cupiennius coccineus.

[@jennifercrandall7648]

My grandparents lived in a very old rugged house(but it was grandma & grandpa's house, regardless of the shape it was in). We were all out fishing and someone broke into their house. All they stole was a box of cinnamon rolls and my grandpa's pistol. Several years later,my grandpa had already passed. Cops called my Grandma to tell her that grandpa's pistol was found and she could have it back. My grandma did not take it back because the cops said it had been used in a federal crime. We suspected a relative did it but the cops couldn't find any proof. RIP grandma & grandpa😢❤

[@AMS-tothepm]

My Grandmom use to live on a farm. She lived on the second floor of the house. One night there was a sound of a man/woman screaming saying “help me, help me,” very close to her window. Each time someone in the family went out sound to check it it would go quite. Once they went back inside it would continue the next early morning. There’s a lot of horror stories from my grandparents both in my dad and mom side

Back in the late 70s early 80s my father worked on the docks of a vegetable produce company in Portland Oregon and every once and a while he would bring back large 6 - 8 inch leg span tan or light brown tarantulas but by the time they had got to Oregon they were almost dead from the temperature change and or insecticide. i took a few of the dead ones to school to show everyone in class 👍

As a serious arachnophobe, I acknowledge that spiders are just creatures simply existing but I also deeply despise them for it

[@earnold1896]

Myself and sisters had, and have, an ancestral fear of arachnids passed on from my father. I had a really scary encounter about 6 weeks ago. I had to pluck up every ounce of courage to trap a big spider in my kitchen. I suffocated it accidentally. I felt terrible but if it had lived I seriously would have had to leave home and had nowhere to go. My spider catching son had long since left home and married so I have no help there. It's just big ones I can't cope with. I'm fine with all other creatures. I don't mind rats, mice anything.

[@earnold1896]

Usually the fear is generational or from childhood.

I'm new to this channel. Story #5 how Horrible 😢Poor Ppl who died in such Painful Horrific ways. The Poor Man who can't take hearing a kettle whistle. I can't begin to imagine all the terrible things Men and Women seen, heard, had to do. My Dad served in the Korean War, don't know how long he was in, he was released from shrapnel in his leg, sometime after his release he had polio, he survived, when he got home from the hospital my Mom who was Pregnant took care of him, when he needed to use the bathroom my Mom carried him, she shouldn't have but there wasn't any Family that lived around us. Poor Mom and,Dad. So many Hardships for Men and Women who served in the war 😢 but at least my Dad was alive and lived to be 70 years old, passed after fighting colon cancer in 2003 . My Mom passed in 1985 from a coronary. Dad Never, Never spoke of his time in the war, I had a feeling that he seen Horrific thing like others who served.

[@OrlasHornraven]

My brother-in-law worked for years in the grocery business. He said when he started out in the mid 1970s they would get huge spiders in crates of bananas. Keep in mind, these were probably actual Brazilian banana spiders which have a very dangerous bite. Now bananas are gassed.

[@KatFoxx]

[@khcom8896]

That spider wasn't probably a tarantula, since they're pretty slow moving. Maybe it was a wandering spider? There are several species of those. The Brazilian wandering spider is highly venomous, but not all species are.

[@corvid1968]

Tarantula bites aren't normally fatal to humans unless you have an allergic reaction.

[@PuppyLuver256]

The only thing more embarrassing than losing a fight is to lose the fight you started. Twice 🎉😂

[@aggie0420]

I believe the spiders in the first story are wondering/banana spiders. I could be wrong. Most spiders don't people unless threatened, usually. And I would've screamed just as loud if one was crawling up my arm.

[@SuperWhatapain]

Tarantulas 😱😱😱

[@stuartfishman719]

Most Tarantula species are not dangerous to humans...in fact of the 40,000 known species of spiders only like 35, yes 35 that are significantly dangerous to humans & of them only like 8 are considered medically significant to humans (fatally dangerous).

[@DeborahLong7777]

Great stories Joel ❤ Thank's

[@barbecueman6352]

Time to go to sleep listening to this

[@CleoHarperReturns]

Story 2: Rest assured, your Jay is not comfortable, or sleeping soundly. Why does everyone -- criminals included -- think hospitals are safer or more comfortable than prisons? At least in prison your sentence has an end date and locked doors to keep you safer from other prisoners. Jay is not doing well. I promise you that. And he'll probably never get out.

[@RNjedi]

I agree. I work in a state hospital there is no end date. Patients can serve more time than they would have if they were in prison. Also incompetent to stand trial is very different than not guilty by reason of insanity. I heard the former in the story. If an IST becomes competent within 2 years they can stand trial and most definitely serve prison time.

[@RNjedi]

Also to add you can still be preyed upon in a state hospital. Violence is always a risk

[@Lorie336]

My grandma's older brother was there on D-Day and survived. He got shot in the leg and had to pretend to be dead because the Germans would come around, and if you moved or were breathing they'd shoot you in the head. He had stuffed something in his mouth to bite down on to keep from crying out in pain and held his breath when the Germans came by. He was so convincing that even our side thought he was dead, but he called for help and they rushed him to the hospital. They wanted to amputate his leg, hut he said no and he forever walked with a limp. He said it was to remind him of his survival and to those who didn't. My maternal grandpa was a Marine and was sent to the Pacific theater of the war. He was in Okinawa, one of the deadliest places to battle, but he survived and had a scar to prove it. He told me many stories of his time there, not everything though because I don't think he wanted me to know how gruesome it was. He was also not 18 when he went to war either, he was actually 16 on the verge of 17 when he signed up, him and one of his older sisters doctored his birth certificate to make him a year older.

[@cherylmoore3349]

[@jaelmao2214]

11:00 the koreans were treated horribly by japanese soldiers too. doubt they were just “given the chance” to be guards, it was probably much worse than that and they didnt have a choice. it doesnt surprise me that korean guards would be ready to do the worst tho to prove their loyalty considering they would probably be tortured or killed otherwise

[@Elemarth]

So I'm not an expert, but from what I've heard, tarantula bites are actually okay. They're going to hurt like hell because of how big the fangs are, but the venom isn't going to do much to you. The hairs on their back (which is what they usually use against predators) can be worse. On the other hand, Brazilian wandering spiders also live in bananas. (They're the proper banana spiders, not the golden orb weavers we call banana spiders around here.) And Brazilian wandering spiders are extremely dangerous, because they're very venomous and extremely aggressive (and have a certain effect on men).

[@frankmccracken1160]

It’s always the quiet ones you need to be weary of! Ask yourself who’s the most dangerous person in the room you’re in!!

[@youoscar463]

I am korean and story 1....gives me...well..(I'm not saying the crazy man was wrong...)

[@stewartwerner3338]

The spider being spoken of was probably a Brazilian Wandering Spider, which is incredibly deadly. However, they're actually not tarantulas. On top of that, it's not a good idea to demonize spiders. They are almost completely docile and only bite under dire circumstances. I get tired of trying to save spiders from people losing their mind and desperately trying to kill them.

[@kittyvandervonhaakenson]

I couldn’t even make it through the first story!

[@CABS16CS]

For story 1, a tarantula is very unlikely to kill you. The venom will not kill you unless you’re deathly allergic to it. Normally the bigger the spider is the less deadly it is with a few exceptions.
