The Frat Hazing Death That Materialized A Ghost

[@__Vaudevillain__]

So hazing is trauma bonding by narcissistic entitled bullies so you don't go against the crowd when they harm and do illegal things. How disgusting. And the fact the father stood by the frat over his own child's cruel demise.

[@AK94913]

@yeew gow yeah a guy died, who cares🙄 Grow tf up.

[@Bayougirl78]

@yeew gow So, in your mind, just because people are against the idea of kids being pressured into dangerous activities, they are (checks notes), depressed and likely to "wind up offing themselves"? I'm having trouble following that particular brand of logic, but okay...

Does it not make it seem more likely that it was just an accident how they’d said more so than the hypothesis

[@limemayo1741]

@@harveyholmes9533 even if it is an “accident” it wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for the hazing, he wouldn’t have been there, he wouldn’t have been the alone at night and he wouldn’t have been drinking or “asleep”. The point is that the cause of his death is directly because of the hazing even if the frat didn’t tie him down to railroad they’re the ones that made him go there at night as a part of the hazing process

[@iriscast10]

Hazing is just an excuse to be cruel to others. No ones trying to bond.

Like some students died when their dorm caught fire so people say that they are haunting the building but that's about it ...I guess it would be a bold claim of buzzfeed to say that this college is haunted when it's not.

You ever stop to think that’s kind of the point. These are organizations that have been around for over many many years with the sole point of pruning people for excellence.

I’m not saying they don’t do any wrong or don’t have bad practices, but calling something out for being something that it’s inherently designed to be isn’t smart or clever.

Worse, they compensate the person's need of belonging to a group and feeling accepted by it and take profit of it in order to humilliate or endanger people who will later, as they feel part of it, do the same, just "for fun". Not every ritual is like that i guess, i dont want to generalize because i dont know every single time this happens, but i know that passing this rituals strenghts their feeling of belonging and the feeling that it is a privilege or something like that. It is ok to have a group of new people to hang out with and do stuff with when you are in a new place but taking this too far isnt justified in any way and some cases feel like its more like a cult and take it too seriously

I was going to Penn State the same time as Piazza. I watched them wheel him to the ambulance on the gurney while a friend and I were on the bus. We were confused at what was going on because it looked super suspect, and out of the norm, even for a frat house. Now we know why

[@TG-nd9rj]

I like how at 10:11 while mentioning Cincinnati, a map is shown of east-central Illinois ;) Otherwise, well done on the video!

[@anjiemontalvo2296]

The repeated streetcar scene is of San Francisco.

[@kerryfenton4177]

Who is this narrator? Because he is excellent.

[@LindaC616]

Someone was wondering if it's "the man with the golden voice"

[@JamesTroupActor]

‘Tis I…your narrator. And thank you. 🙂

[@namelessdoes]

These hazing initiations are so dangerous and inappropriate, do american universities regulate that? Im not from the US so im not familiar with the topic.

[@IshaSoul]

It’s illegal in many states but it happens anyway

[@lisarodriguez6966]

It still happens, followed by outrage. Then it's forgotten, unfortunately. By all except those personally affected, usually. It's a disgusting practice for those already privileged to try to feel even more so.

[@namelessdoes]

@@lisarodriguez6966 this is so upsetting and scary… to exploit people’s need to fit in and belong somewhere to endanger their life in the name “fun”

[@lisarodriguez6966]

@@namelessdoes I've heard of those that select their university based on how popular or crazy their fraternities/sororities are known to be. Unfortunately it looks good on applications to claim a fraternity and people are literally dying just to belong to a group of allegedly elite people. Same reason they're primarily white in race.

[@nicoladawson2861]

I dig this narrator!

[@JamesTroupActor]

Ayeeeee! Thank you!!!

[@lauren3173]

I’m not usually freaked out by stuff like this. I watch true crime stuff all the time. Something about this story is super unsettleing, I mean more than normal, to me. Maybe it’s just the composition of the video.

[@lauren3173]

It could be because I’m imagining it in great detail and the pictures help with that. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@lauren3173]

At least they had the decency to grab his body before the next train…

[@mavvam2852]

You guys should cover the old kenyon fire. That has more of a ghost story around it.

[@upstateshenanigans430]

piazzas challenge was a bit extreme but not uncommon. Where i believe the other boys dropped the ball is supervision. after encoureging someone to drink that heavy, give him a babysitter, point blank. rest easy piazza and im sorry his friends have to live with these actions, im sure they didnt mean to end his life.

[@emili0r3y46]

this narrator is good as heck man!

[@JamesTroupActor]

Thank ya!!

[@DragonGoddess18]

Loyalty can be good, but it also shouldn't stop you from doing what is morally right. That guy defending his frat over his own child is sickening.

[@onandonitgoes5957]

Hazing needs to be phased out of our society entirely. Also not sure if I'm enjoying the ridiculous facial hair, despise it, or if it just confuses me.

[@NAMELESSHOSTAGE]

If i would be a frat Senior, my hazing ritual would be make the new guy write my assignments. 😂

[@yoyoland8461]

I don’t think they planned on the train passing at that time.

[@TG-nd9rj]

The video says it was an unscheduled train, so by all accounts this was really just a horric accident. But it stands that Frat hazing really should be done away with.

[@TheNewzbreak]

"...it may have left behind a restless spirit" yeah, no it didn't.

[@ilovemyhomefries]

I liked it but the ghost part felt like an afterthought 👻

[@niniflora77]

Lol as someone who graduated from Kenyon College in 2018 this Greek life hasn't change that much....also in 4 years of college life I have never heard of any of those stories

[@anastasiaeqbali6933]

It’s so unbelievable that these things still happen to this day. It’s so prehistoric. There’s so much we’re ignorant to I guess… stay safe everyone. Don’t put yourself in the path of known danger frends, always watch your back. ❤️

[@TheDeviIDogg]

Hazing is such a weird thing. Like you gotta do dangerous and humiliating things to join our club that isn't even on the level of secret society instead of just bein like hey I wanna join and I'll do a good job

[@comfortman8630]

Does anybody know if they are doing a final Supernatural series? Since Ryan only specifically said “Finale Of Buzzfeed Unsolved True Crime”

[@deafeningoctopus]

Yes, they announced that they would.

[@FflawedMetalhead]

They are - They've mentioned it a few times. It'll be the last season of that as well.

[@SanskarWagley]

Yes, in September

[@floydiandreamscapes5145]

I like Ryan but that smug, self righteous dude he works with spoils the show.

what's the purpose of fraternities and sororities???

[@lisarodriguez6966]

I thought it was for privileged a$$holes to feel even more privileged, needing outside validation.🤔

[@Dra3000]

It's for future net working and affilations...also doing community service

[@AkiraCatt24]

Why would anyone want to pledge a fraternity who would REQUIRE you to do something dangerous?? Seriously- by the time you get to college, you know what high levels of alcohol can do to you! They taught us in high school, & I'm 55, so a college student should know better. & So should the other members of the frat!

[@monroerobbins7551]

It ain’t like Saw, people; you don’t really gain as much of a strong bond from group trauma. Forcing it to happen, guess what that’s gonna make the haze-ee feel? Resentment, anger, maybe even trauma depending on how bad it is. I get wanting a club of friends, but sororities and frats, I just don’t feel that’s it. It just feels like a privileged thing, to feel like you’re in a “us vs them” scenario, when you’re all just in school and trying to figure out your life. It just feels kinda unnecessary.

[@Silverado1st]

Thats just so sad and tragic. I cant even count how many times I drank myself sober in the Army. By rites I shouldn't be alive or even have a liver. 4 times the legal limit for what? Falling down a flight of stairs has a legal limit?

[@_sunchildd]

i miss shane and ryan already yes i kno they have their own channel but nothing tops their unsolved series

I'm gonna pop up on Shane and Ryan, just so y'all will stop giving me a hard time! 😂
