Would the BBC special "Ghostwatch" a supernatural mockumentary that caused mass hysteria and outrage due to people believing it to be real (rather like Orson Wells's War of the Worlds) be a good topic of discussion for this channel?

[@erased2673]

There’s a video by a KZbinr named ‘inside a mind’ if anyone want’s to learn about it

[@ya9ya10]

two things: 1) Orson never intended on deceiving people with the war of the worlds broadcast, as there was a disclaimer before the broadcast explaining that it was fiction, and 2) relatively few people were legitimately frightened by the broadcast, and almost no one was trying to defend themselves against an alien invasion, the idea that people were panicing en masse was a hoax spread by newspapers after the broadcast. Kenneth wasn't Homaging Welles, he was straight up lying to the public to create controversy

Whang!! Dude...whew. My firstborn just introduced me to your band, Jynx, today and then told me about this channel. New subbie 💙 but let me tell you...I paused this video 23 minutes in when you mentioned Malaysia flight 370 and here's why: I'm not a big fan of television, but the t.v. series, "Manifest", that came out years ago, immediately sparked my interest because the disappearance of Malaysia flight 370 is something that has always stayed in the forefront of my mind - and of course, that series I'm certain, is inspired by it. So when it crossed my path on Netflix earlier today, I decided to watch it. My mind has been tickled with the fact that pretty much every thought I had surrounding that mystery has been played out so far, in this t.v. series (only 3 episodes in), but then, a couple hours after pausing it and going on about my day - I received several messages from Devin (my first born) who shared some of your music videos with Jynx (because we are planning on coming to see Attila in October & he said y'all are performing too), and as I am checking out your music, he tells me to look you up on KZbin (keep in mind, I haven't mentioned or searched anything in regards to the series "Manifest" nor Malaysia flight 370 in quite a long time). So I did, and on my 4th video in on your channel (this one)...about a random incident that happened decades ago that had nothing to do with the disappearance of that flight, you mention it 😱😱😱 I don't believe in coincidences...irony, sure. So now I need to figure out what it means, lol. Until then, I'll be looking forward to seeing y'all live 💜

The first thing I came across was a picture of the NES boxart, which had a sticker in the left center of the box stating that there was a contest to win a trip to Dracula's hometown!

There was something similar to this called 8th March 2003. Some guy said he found a broken (film) camera in the mountains, and was able to develop the pictures. He was going to reveal them on 8th March 2003, but before then posted updates about his computer being hacked, men in black following him etc. The pictures were half-decent (for the time) photoshops of ramps to launch ships from built in a mountain range, in anticipation of future rising sea levels.

In addition, the supposed public reaction to Orson Wells's War of the Worlds broadcast was created by William Randolph Hearst in an effort to convince the public that radio couldn't be trusted as a news source and was only capable of producing trashy entertainment.

i seriously hate that notion. the people behind this are actual idiots. “yeah let’s make teens like us by treating them like mindless borg drones who need to be lead around by the nose cause after all if you’re under 18 you just don’t have an inner monologue” it’s so dumb.

Yes the whole thing makes no sense. He was supposedly against the "Religious Right" for prosecuting him for selling smut years before, yet he was trying to hoax people into buying a virginity event & making it an abstinence lesson - isn't that something the "Religious Right" would LIKE? Idk it doesn't seem like a way to promote a movie, either

The Monika Lewinsky thing was huge. I remember seeing all kinds of slick willy merch. People were selling Slick Willy bumper stickers, coffee cups, fake money, shirts, wanted posters, and tons of other stuff. Strange times.

Hey, I don't know if you're open for suggestions or something like that, but have you thought about covering the search for Q Lazzarus? She sang the infamous "Goodbye Horses" song, best known for its use in SIlence of the Lambs. Apparently there were no traces of her past the early 90s and many people tried to find her or at least find out what happened to her. She was found in 2018, living a pretty normal life, so the case is closed. I still think it's a very interesting story, not unlike the search for many other people or media online. If you're not interested, that's cool. Really enjoy your content.

I just subscribed to this channel a couple of weeks ago. Videos like this one remind me of why I did. Genuinely fascinating and well-put-together. By 1998, I had been on the internet for two years, yet I knew nothing about this. I do feel bad that the young lady died with this being the thing she is primarily remembered for. And Robert Wise, one of Hollywood's most-respected directors, advising Tipton? Mind-blowing. Then you go and throw the Malaysian Flight 370 scam on top of everything else, and I was sitting here with my jaw hanging open by the end. These people...I mean just the fact that Tipton's wife managed to become president of Standards and Practices of Fox TV...On the other hand, Fox TV, so that should have warned me of what was coming I guess. But wasn't Fox TV a bit more respectable back then? Anyway, well done, sir. Nicely researched and presented.
