The rabies post kinda reminded me of something. I had a classmate in high school who, for his anatomy project on neurological disorders, decided to cover prion disease. We were expected to give a reason for choosing our disease, survivor accounts, symptoms, treatments, etc. He was a funny guy, and everyone loved presentations he made because he got really animated, making jokes and engaging with people. So he starts his slideshow talking about the different kinds of prion disease, how you get it, and everyone's happy because he's invested and the presentation is interesting and he's cracked a couple jokes. When he got to to survivor accounts slide, it was blank save a quote I can't remember, and he just said, "I couldn't find any survivor accounts, and that's because there aren't any." I have never seen a mood die so quickly and completely, not before and not since. It felt like a scene from a movie, where a character gets thrown underwater and everything moves at half speed until they break the surface a few moments later. He went on to explain the disease progression, how there was no treatment, and it was the most dread inducing thing I have ever seen. It was a good presentation. I would go so far as to say it was a great one. But that feeling of going from knowing prion disease killed you to understanding prion disease kills you was the most jarring, awful experience I have ever had. I did not walk into that room afraid of prions, but I was when I walked out.

Fun fact: rabies may have actually been what inspired Bram Stoker (or more likely the original folk tales) to write Dracula! Messed up sleep schedules (awake at night), fear of drinking water (now make it holy water for extra spookiness), getting scared and aggressive randomly, your senses get screwed up so garlic likely smells horrifying and you can hear (the children of the night) clearer, etc. And of course bats being a common carrier. And this might also explain the lead/ mirror lined coffin/ coffin encased in cement due to not wanting to expose others to the body (virus) after death. Pretty neat and horrifying at the same time.

I'm gonna add the rest of this story: the story of Dracula (folk take version) was created when vlad the impaler (basis for the main dracula) and his army (vampires) was battling i cant remember who and they came up with the idea of releasing rabid bats upon their enemies at night, which is why people believe vampires can turn into bats at night. iirc they released the bats at the correct time according to the wind blowing into the enemies face so the bats would go that way, but im not 100% sure about it

I live in Australia and we are rabies-free. We have more than our fair share of dangerous creatures but they are usually big enough to see before they bite you. Rabies must be about the scariest viral disease humans can get, with the loss of one's faculties just as you say. This talking abut rabies reminded me of a movie called "Quarantine"? It's about an apartment block that is forceably quarantined to prevent a new rabies-like virus from getting out into the rest of the city. It starts with a TV reporter and her cameraman who accompany an emergency services crew on their night duty (for a time-filler human interest story) and get dragged into the drama, ending up trapped in quarantine with the apartment residents. The whole movie is filmed through the point of view of the cameraman. I'm not usually a fan of handheld footage but this movie did it so well. The story was unsettling and psychologically suspenseful rather than gory from what I remember and it tried to depict what city authorities would do in such a situation.

[@sleipnir690]

I feel an important thing to add about rabies is that according to WHO, "People are usually infected following a deep bite or scratch from an animal with rabies, which is, in 99% of the cases, a dog." another important fact is that there is no rabies in Australia.

[@jengibs]

Hey Click, I used to work at an alligator park/farm in northern Louisiana while I attended college. With reptiles like that their demeanor is based on a couple of factors. Temperature of the water, conditioning around humans, how well fed they are, and whether or not they are defending a territory or a nest. Most likely that swamp doggo was probably raised by humans, well-fed, has no nest, and the water was a lower temp. The lower the water temp the more "stoned" they seem to be as the cold makes them very lethargic. We had to close our park during the coldest months of the year because the alligators were too lazy to perform their tricks. Like jumping out of the water for food, etc. They also don't eat much or at all when cold because the food can literally rot in their bellies. Their metabolism slows down so much that they can't properly digest anything. Also, the lady was smart by swimming beneath the gator. They can't really see below themselves or even look down unless they roll over, and even when they do that their natural instinct is to close their eyes.

Go slow, don't make threatening gestures and a well fed alligator won't have any reason to bite.

On the drinking and driving one, I came across a video in Australia where a cop pulled someone over for a breath test and US people were getting pissed at it saying "Why are Australians always bending over backwards for cops and yah dah yah dah". Now here we have breath tests all the time because one of our main causes of death is due to cars and drink-driving. Also keep in mind the dude in car in the video was taking people home from an area with clubs in the dead of the night. So naturally the cop was gonna be breath testing them. It just always amuses me how the US is so scared of "anarchy" and that "the country is going to the dogs!", but the moment any reasonable rules come in it's "we've lost all our rights".

20:35 read a scary story once about a woman who had trouble sleeping, like was known to sleep walk and talk and such. Well, I think it was her doctor advised her to set up an audio recording device to help find the issue/monitor her sleeping, and not too long after she got it (I think), she started hearing some sort of sound on it, a sort of clicking maybe? And eventually, after looking EVERYWHERE in her room and house, she found nothing, she decided to believe it must have been some sort of house thing or mechanical thing causing the noise. That is, until one night, as she hears the sound again on the recording, there is then the sound of her sitting bolt upright in bed, asking "What are you doing?" And a voice saying "Nothing. Go back to sleep." in response. Freaked her the fuck out, rightfully so, and she moved the hell out of there. I've heard enough and seen enough videos of shit like people living in the walls and such of someone's house to know there was something fucked up about her home that she didn't know about.

If you think you may have been bitten or you encountered a possibility rabid animal or found a wild animal in your house (except rodents, those very rarely get rabies, but still go if you’re bit and the animal was acting really weird/obvious rabid), go to the doctor and get the vaccine

I figured it was probably something protective given the way the cabinet in the back looked. Hollywood has really ruined people's view of faiths that aren't Christianity.

[@ktwolfsbane]

Yup, the vegvisir I think it is called? It's one of many symbols that are Icelandic in origin that were used in the norse culture after other countries in the area saw this and brought it into their practices.

[@VMShix]

@@ktwolfsbane Yeah, it's named something along those lines, my friend has a necklace with it and is planning on getting a tattoo with it incorporated as I've seen a couple of places for bidding on all forms of jewellery for some reason. The items in the middle, if they were there when they moved in, r prob not sacrifices but gifts to the Nordic gods, maybe 1 or maybe multiple, but it was common, especially certain foods, mead, animal skins, tapestries, instruments and anything else the clam/village/etc. Considered valuable and believed the gods found pleasing

[@ktwolfsbane]

@VMShix exactly my thoughts as well about the items, I hadn't heard about yhe vegvisir being banned anywhere. But as ling as your friend wears the symbol and knows is as an Icelandic symbol that norse people use then theirs less likely anyone will be weird about them having it as a tattoo or pendant.

[@ktwolfsbane]

Symbols like this it's best if anyone decide to wear it that they research the symbol throughly. As a norse pagan myself, I have to be careful because of alot of symbols like these that were appropriated for organizations that are just full of hatred.

[@DaresArt]

The one with the symbol drawn in the attic is, I believe, a symbol now commonly used in norse paganism/neo-paganism known as the Vegvisir or the Viking Compass, that is meant to be a compass of sort and is meant to guide a person through a storm/bad weather. It isn't 'ancient' viking symbol, and the first known usage of it was in 1860 in a magical grimoire known as the Huld Manuscript collected in Iceland by Geir Vigfusson in Akureyri. There's quite a few different sources you can research for it.

This is the 1st ever video that I ever saw that gave a trigger warning, a skip ahead, and a nice euphemism for Danger Noodles. Thank you so much, I am extremely phobic, and it was nice to not have to throw an expensive device out of fear. I hope you continue to do so in the future when Danger Noodles will be featured.

The "beginning or a tornado" one is a waterspout. They aren't really dangerous. The principle behind them is similar to a tornado, but most of them aren't really dangerous (they can be under certain climatological circumstances but, as I said, those are rare). They don't suck water, or anything really, and the wind currents aren't that strong. And by the way, these things appear in Europe too, maybe you should go to the seaside one day? XD

[@amberkat8147]

The hair burning is a cultural thing- in places where they believe that anyone who gets a piece of you; hair fingernails, etc., they can use it to cast black magic on you, they have to take steps to avoid leaving such things around to be taken and used.

A red flag to me with the guy having a picture of him taken while he slept is that he didn't show the photo the first time. It just seems like /the/ thing you wouldn't forget to show people if you want them to believe you. By saving it for a 'part 2', more people will go looking for the video, and more will probably follow his account for updates. One can totally stay up until 3 am, strap their phone to the ceiling, and set a timer for the photo. And if I'm honest, there's no way a picture of a dark room taken late at night would show a thing. There are a billion different ways to fake it, but I do think it makes for a neat spooky story.

Yeah, besides theres a posibility his SO took the photo but sent him later, or helped him take the photo while he slept. Ghosts taking pictures dont really sound like a motive. And some intruder in the House would conpromise their appeareance there taking a picture?

[@FrozEnbyWolf150]

Also, you can edit the date and time on photos. I have a Samsung phone which has this option. I find it suspicious that the narrator jumps to the conclusion it was something paranormal, and not a home invasion, which would be far more likely and put both of them in considerable danger.

2:40 that looks like a Norse protection rune to me, I've got necklaces and stones with that. The jars of stuff in the middle could be protection jars or insence holders. So it was likely the person who lived in the house before was Norse pagan or practiced witchcraft, and that's a completely harmless and actually positive thing to have!

[@yogsothoth7594]

A Vegvísir. Although its sometimes borrowed by norse pagans today its much much more modern and wasn't used until centuries after afters the Christianisation of Iceland.

It is a type of tornado that starts on water, called a water sprout. They can indeed be dangerous, but they seem to die out fairly fast once they hit land in general. However, like with tornados, you want to avoid them as they can be deadly if you get struck by one; they are not something to play with.

[@ElleriaZer]

Pretty sure it's not a tornadic waterspout. Not enough water being thrown up at the base. It looks like a really well defined steam devil. Tornadic waterspouts act just like tornadoes on land. The terrain doesn't matter very much, and neither does water, since it's powered by the storm above. But they're short lived because that's how most tornadoes are. Thankfully.
