The Deadly Initiation of Stuart Pierson

[@marcenamccutcheon6817]

Another piece of Ohio history I was not aware of! Thank you!

[@melissaconnellyjones2622]

Tragically it’s 119 years later, and fraternities are still getting away with murder. Not sure what was more disturbing, the fact that they tried to cover it up, or tgat so many people supported the “brotherhood” afterwards.

[@CuriousHistoryYT]

Agreed!

[@kathleenevans1201]

Excellent point!

[@takkmoran9770]

Almost missed this because of illness, glad I got to see it. Another top notch episode John. It would be great if this story helped fraternities take a more cautious approach to their hazing rituals, but I have a feeling that as long as there are fraternity hazings there will be tragedies.

[@CuriousHistoryYT]

Hope all is well with you!

[@DoloresJNurss]

You always tell such poignant stories! Thank you.

[@CuriousHistoryYT]

Thanks again for your continued support Dolores!

Why can't hazing just be wearing a silly costume in public or something? Humiliation instead of acute alcohol poisoning or head trauma.

Poor kid. I never joined a sorority. Why did his father go along with that silly initiation? They are mostly always dangerous!

[@CuriousHistoryYT]

That’s an excellent question!!

[@kathleenevans1201]

Sororities are for women. Fraternities are for men.

Another terrific video. Sad that his father lied to protect his fraternity. They had no guilt. All theses fraternitys care about is themselves. RIP Stewart.

[@CuriousHistoryYT]

Thank you Liz!

[@mattjohnston7686]

I recently found your videos and I was hooked after the Ghost Train Bridge video.

[@CuriousHistoryYT]

Thank you for watching Matt!!!

Great job brother as usual. Pleasant trip memories for me. What a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive.

[@CuriousHistoryYT]

Thanks brother! 😊

First time I heard a story of hazing turning lethal that far back in time. Obviously lessons have not been learned. Only a few years ago, a BGSU student lost his life to hazing. So heartbreaking.

[@StarlahMutiny]

Why in the world would ANYONE choose to join a fraternity ew.

[@donnakissinger1694]

Fascinating as always. I find you videos so interesting. 😊😊😊

[@CuriousHistoryYT]

Thank you so much Donna! 😊

[@elliecargould9697]

Very interesting. I didn’t realize Kenyon college was haunted. Perfect Halloween story. Thank you

[@CuriousHistoryYT]

Yep it certainly is. There is another video we shot about the other hauntings there. Just haven’t had time to edit it yet. Hopefully someday!

[@David-t4d7n]

Great video. But that’s messed up. Y’all have a good afternoon. Am in new Smyrna Beach Florida. Weather might get nasty here tomorrow

[@CuriousHistoryYT]

Thank you David. Please stay safe!

[@brendaaprince7734]

Shame on them😢
