Houdini, Final Destination & The Fate You Can't Escape

WEBVTT
00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:03.200
Welcome back to Strange Deranged Beyond Insane.
00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:13.359
I'm your host Melissa, and today we're heading back a hundred years to the death of one of the most legendary escape artists who ever lived.
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:15.199
Harry Houdini.
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:26.800
Born Eric Wise, Houdini became world famous for escaping handcuffs, locked containers, chains, and seemingly impossible death traps.
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:37.759
But behind the magic was a man obsessed with exposing frauds, challenging the supernatural, and finding out whether there was truly life after death.
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.280
And here's where things get especially interesting.
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:50.000
Houdini spent the later years of his life debunking psychics and mediums who claimed that they could communicate with the dead.
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:54.399
But before his death, he made a promise to his wife, Bess.
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:59.520
If there was a way to return from the other side, he would try to reach her.
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:04.879
They even established a secret code that could prove it was really him.
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:30.879
Think about this for a second.
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:35.359
The man who made a career out of escaping death was actually gone.
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:37.920
On Halloween, no less.
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:44.239
For years afterwards, Bess held stances hoping that Houdini would make contact.
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:53.200
She eventually ended the formal attempts, but the mystery surrounding his promised message became part of his enduring legend.
00:01:53.760 --> 00:02:03.120
And here we are, a hundred years later, remembering Houdini, right here in Detroit, the city where his extraordinary life came to an end.
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.159
So here's my question to you guys.
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.039
Was Houdini right to doubt the spirit world?
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.199
Is it okay to be skeptical?
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:11.919
Of course it is.
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:12.800
We love that.
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:14.560
And I love this for him.
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:21.439
Or did the man who spent his life escaping the impossible discover something that he could not explain?
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:28.080
Maybe the greatest escape artist in history finally found a door he couldn't unlock.
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:33.919
So I would say that Detroit has one very good reason to celebrate Houdini this Halloween.
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.120
And it is called Magic and Mystery.
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:45.759
So this post on Facebook is explaining to everyone what they are doing for Houdini's 100th anniversary.
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.719
And this is again on Halloween here in Detroit.
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:59.599
Says expect live magic, daring escapes, sideshow performances, historic curiosities, food, drinks, and plenty of mystery.
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:05.280
All inspired by Houdini's incredible career and his final days in Detroit.
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:21.680
So um, this whole shebang is featuring historian Brendan Roni, variety performer Nathan McScary, Wakefield, and magician and escape artist Anthony Gruppito.
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:23.280
I think I said that right.
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.319
For one night only, the impossible returns.
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:29.280
Halloween at the Detroit Historical Museum.
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:34.240
21 years and older, come ready for magic, mystery, and the spectacle.
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.919
And you can purchase your tickets um on Facebook.
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.560
I'm sure I I don't know where else.
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:46.719
Um, this is actually through Detroit Cultural Center Association.
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.280
Um so yeah, this sounds fucking fantastic.
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:55.680
I wish that I could go, but it's Halloween night and I will be with my family.
00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:19.600
However, um, Dawn's idea, so Dawn from Ghost Whispers, that's been on here quite a bit, um, talk about her a lot, she actually gave, you know, the idea, um, or put the idea out there, I'm sorry, to go and visit Houdini's place of death, which is I believe Campus Martius now.
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.959
And I think it's gonna be a great investigation.
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:25.120
I definitely want to get there a little bit earlier.
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:26.959
I don't want to be doing that at like 2 a.m.
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:32.879
Campus Martius is very, very um protected and very safe to be at.
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:40.000
But you know, in the city, you just, you know, it's not, it's not an investigation that we're gonna be able to be there till four in the morning, you know.
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:58.959
But I would love to go and try to make contact and have multiple people with us and go through and through and through and try to debunk everything to see if Houdini himself has broke his own skeptical mind or spirit, we can say, and see if you know we can make connection with him.
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:02.319
So we will definitely be participating in that soon.
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.839
Um, but definitely will not be there on Halloween night, unfortunately.
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:14.879
But I hope all of you that are listening that are either visiting Michigan or um live here in Michigan, near or around Detroit.
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:20.160
I hope everyone gets to go and please give me some feedback and let me know how the night was.
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:26.720
So now I want to talk about a story, again, real life death, that actually happened very recently.
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:31.759
And I'm sure you guys have all seen the headlines, the news, the social media posts.
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:36.319
So I will call this a final destination when death comes back for you.
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:39.920
Have you ever heard about someone cheating death once?
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:41.040
Twice?
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:42.399
Three times?
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:46.560
Well, this story sounds like something straight out of final destination.
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:54.079
A man who repeatedly survived death three times has now tragically died in a roller coaster incident in Georgia.
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.680
And I don't know about you, but that kind of timing makes your skin curl.
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:03.680
Now, we have heard of lots of accidents on roller coasters, theme parks, it's nothing new.
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:08.160
But the way that this man died, oh my god.
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:21.199
So not only did he fall out of the roller coaster cart, he went plunge like plummeting into another cart in front, face first, with his whole bare ass out.
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:27.040
Okay, and the where the pictures are taken on the roller coaster actually showed his ass.
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.600
Okay, it's public, it's terrible.
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:34.959
Um, not only does that just give ugh, I hate.
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:49.439
I cannot it's really hard for me to think about that, like the level of embarrassment, and you know, you're you just die without dignity like that, you know, because you know everyone's gonna remember, oh, the guy that was like half naked.
00:06:50.079 --> 00:07:01.920
And okay, so then he hit like three or four more carts, airborne sideways, and like just let out blood over everyone.
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:07.759
And then, if that was not enough, he landed on top of the fucking haunted house.
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:12.480
That's where his obviously death dead body was laying.
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:17.199
Oh my god, like how fucking airy is that?
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:25.040
I mean, it is it's just uh it's crazy to me that that actually really happened.
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:30.800
So I can say his name on here because they had released it.
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.399
Um, it's Hassan Jahid Ibn Karim.
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:42.639
Uh he's a 42-year-old Atlanta educator, and obviously he died, and now this where he fell from was 200 feet.
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:49.759
And this is the Galeth roller coaster at Six Flags over Georgia on Monday, October 12th, 2026.
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:53.920
Today is the 15th of October, so about three days.
00:07:54.240 --> 00:08:03.279
Um there's so many witnesses that are coming forward saying like what they experienced, all the blood on them, the fluids.
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.199
Um, they're fucking traumatized.
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:08.959
They obviously need like intense therapy because that is real life.
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:14.720
I mean, if that would were to happen to me, um, I would be in total fucking shock.
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:16.079
I wouldn't even know.
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:22.879
I don't think I would talk for a while because it would feel like it was fake, but you would know it was real.
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:29.680
Alright, so I'm not saying that the universe has a hit list, but goddamn.
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:32.799
Um, three close calls and then a roller coaster.
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:48.879
So supposedly, like a week before he went with his wife and two kids to this theme park, him and his daughter were in a car fire that went ablaze, and they miraculously got out of this car fine, unscathed, and obviously we're living.
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:53.519
Um, before this, I believe he beat cancer, I think two times.
00:08:53.759 --> 00:09:06.080
He fucking beat cancer two times, a whole car fire, and then not just to die on a roller coaster, but the way he died, and then land on the on top of a fucking haunted house.
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:15.440
Like that, I I know, you know, I've already said this in the last five minutes, but that is insane to me.
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:26.720
So, my question to you guys is I love what you know, answer or I'm sorry, asking questions on here, even if I don't get answers, but I want you guys to really let this sit in and think about this.
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:32.879
Do you believe that you can cheat death, or does fate eventually come collecting?
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:45.440
Because I know I'm an elder millennial, anyone the same age as me, maybe even a little bit younger or older, we all remember the Final Destination movies, and those were fucking scary.
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:47.600
Like those movies made you think.
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:52.399
Like you would come home and be like, Whoa, like does death work like that?
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:59.039
And then as we get older and we develop all these irrational fears of you know, how are we gonna die?
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:00.159
Is it going to be peaceful?
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:01.440
Are we gonna be embarrassed?
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.120
What is our bodies gonna look like?
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.679
I mean, there's just all these weird things and imageries in your head that you think about.
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:23.440
Excuse me, but the main thing is as you get older and you're blessed to become older and live through life, you think to yourself, you know, I've probably cheated death many, many times, right?
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:49.279
Because I can tell you just in the last six years, there's like at least four or five things that happened that I can easily I'll tell you this one thing in the last let's just say four years was just I could not believe it myself, and I had called my husband right after, and I literally was like, Hey, are you talking to me right now?
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:56.000
And he's like, Yes, you called me, and I'm like, Okay, so I'm alive, and he's like, What happened?
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:05.440
But that's for another podcast episode, but to get back on topic, um, this does not set well with me.
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.360
It it puts a really weird feeling in my belly.
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.679
It it's everybody feels the same way.
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:23.840
It really, this story really gives me the fucking heebie jeebies, and seeing the pictures online and the brutality and the harsh fucking comments, and people are like, oh yeah, ass up, head down.
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:25.360
It's like, okay, I get it.
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:26.720
The internet sucks.
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:35.200
People fucking are evil, they're harsh, they suck, but how in the hell can you even joke?
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:44.879
This man's wife was on the ground with his little daughter watching him and his son ride a roller coaster.
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:48.559
Can you imagine being the wife and the daughter and the son?
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.320
Like, damn, my dad just died like that.
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.480
My dad is laying on top of that haunted house down there, mangled.
00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:02.320
I mean, hitting carts three to four times while going who knows how fast.
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:07.919
I mean, let's just say what 50 miles an hour or something, maybe more than that.
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:08.639
I don't know.
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:16.000
I'm not like a huge roller coaster enthusiast, although I love roller coasters, I've been on them many times in my life.
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:32.879
Let's just say like at least 50 miles an hour from 200 foot drop, and he I mean, there's like witnesses saying that they remember seeing him levitating sideways, flying, and just hitting the carts.
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:36.080
I mean, that is brutal.
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:39.919
But I'm gonna play a couple videos for you guys.
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:45.600
Um, of course, my favorite from TikTok, and this is really gonna make you think about this.
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:53.679
Whether you believe in it or not, you have to wonder: did someone put hoodoo on this man?
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:58.000
Hassan Karim escaped death multiple times.
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:00.320
He beat cancer twice.
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:06.080
He survived a fiery car crash just a few weeks ago with his daughter.
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:18.080
And what finally took this man out was an unfortunate event at Six Flags Atlanta where he was ejected from the tallest ride that Six Flags Atlanta had to offer.
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:25.120
The pictures of his unfortunate demise were circulating around social media with his ass out.
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:26.879
Humiliation.
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:31.759
It makes you wonder: did Hassan Kareem have serious enemies?
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:40.960
Did he have somebody out here so scorned, so upset, so pissed off that they would go and actually put voodoo on this man?
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.519
It's giving final destination.
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:47.039
This man escaped death multiple times.
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:52.799
Just to go out in one of the rarest and craziest ways to actually die.
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:54.879
Ejected from a ride.
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:00.720
A man flew out of a roller coaster in six black over Georgia.
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.039
He lost his life, and we now have more information.
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:05.360
This was 42-year-old Hassan Kareem.
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:08.480
He was riding the Goliath roller coaster with his son.
00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:11.120
His wife and his daughter were looking down from the route.
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:15.600
There's some pretty horrific information coming out about how this happened.
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:22.399
Some witnesses have said that the seats were making some really weird clicking noises before he flew out.
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:41.919
Even more disturbing is that some witnesses said that this event was partly caught on the official souvenir photos that the roller coaster folks overwriting.
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:47.679
Some of the witnesses were able to see part of this information on their souvenir photo.
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:52.320
And the witnesses also have mentioned being covered in his blood.
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:55.039
Now this was a 200 footfall.
00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:03.440
Witnesses say that somehow he slipped out of his lap for stream before he struck other roller coaster cars.
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:09.759
It was unimaginable that this happened with his son right next to him, his wife and his daughter watching from the ground.
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:11.759
Hasan was a teacher.
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.000
His family says that he was a passionate.
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:21.200
And it has been said that Six Box has now closed nine other roller coasters across all of its movement parts.
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:24.879
Just this summer, multiple park doors have suffered serious injuries.
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:44.799
He comes down when he slams down on a car because he was back and flying up.
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:52.720
Riders say the man slammed into the roller coaster and fellow parkgoers multiple times before plunging to the ground.
00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:05.120
Like everybody tried to save this man.
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:11.440
There's too much force to grab him.
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:17.919
Just moments ago, the man who was killed on a roller coaster at Six Flags in Georgia has been identified.
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:23.039
It was covered in blood.
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:26.879
So immediately I saw her and I was like, Oh my gosh, are you okay?
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:29.840
And she was like, This is not my blood.
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:30.879
He fell on my lap.
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:32.320
He fell on my lap.
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:36.480
And David behind me is that roller coaster in its abandoned cars.
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:41.840
Tonight, a relative for Hassan Kareem telling me that he was a dedicated family man.
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.840
And she says, the entire family still processing his death.
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:51.759
What do you want?
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:55.120
Flipside of the seat.
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:04.559
But do you want to say the voice of people?
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:11.359
Like the locking lockdown.
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:16.640
Now the word is more important to the lock.
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:21.680
That's obviously very concerned about this point.
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:27.519
We don't know what the problem is about the problem at this point.
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:33.519
It's also important to earlier reporting when he talked about a lot of earlier reports in the Korean season beside his son.
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:37.519
His family says it was actually his partner's niece who was not physically injured.
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:42.880
And his sister says that the Korean had been written remission from cancer actually since 2015.
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:46.000
And actually it also escaped a car fire just weeks prior.
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:49.039
Now his loved ones are grieving his death during now.
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:14.480
Now I'm not saying casualties, I'm just saying a lot of um roller coaster issues because I guess they really cut corners and um they're not as safe and known as Cedar Point.
00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:16.720
So Cedar Point by us, right?
00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:20.400
Well, it's in Ohio, a couple hours from where we live.
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:22.160
This is where Paul and I both grew up.
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:27.279
I mean he grew up like two miles north of me or whatever, maybe two and a half miles north.
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:31.599
Um, but we all remember going to Six Flags as a kid and a teenager.
00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:40.960
So Cedar Fair, Cedar Fair, I'm sorry, is um who owns Cedar Point, let's just say it's it's a corporation.
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:50.079
So I did look up because supposedly Paul said that Six Flags was supposed to buy Cedar, buy into Cedar Fair or take it over.
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:54.000
Now it says Six Flags did not buy Cedar Point.
00:18:54.079 --> 00:19:03.279
Instead, Cedar Point's former parent company, Cedar Fair, completed an$8 billion merger with Six Flags on July 1st.
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:06.000
Now this was back in 2024.
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:11.680
Um they did this to form a combined company named Six Flags Entertainment Corporation.
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:16.319
Um is basically saying that this is an equal structure.
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:22.400
The deal was an official merger of equals rather than an outright, you know, takeover.
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:24.319
Ownership split.
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:33.039
Uh former Cedar Fair shareholders own a 51% stake in the combined company, while former Six Flags shareholders hold 49%.
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:44.240
Uh the corporate identity is a combined enterprise operates under the Six Flags name and trades on the stock market under the ticker symbol fun in caps letter.
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:45.920
Park status.
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:55.920
Cedar Point remains a core property within the portfolio through Six Flags and has explored potential branding and survey options for the park.
00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:58.880
Hmm, sounds sketchy.
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:06.000
Um, a lot of people, so now like someone asks, does Six Flags own Cedar Point?
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:10.480
And says, yes, Cedar Point is owned by Six Flags Entertainment Corporation.
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:17.759
Following a merger between Cedar Fair and Six Flags that was completed on again July 1st, 2024.
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:34.240
So I don't think we will be going to Cedar Point, Six Flags, whatever the fuck it's called anytime soon, because it is sketchy and they have actually shut down a lot of roller coasters throughout their Six Flags because of issues.
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:43.119
Now, I am going to read some comments on this poor man's death because I think it is really, really important.
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:53.759
Um, I mean, everybody's like, yeah, this totally reminds me of Final Destination, not because of the roller coaster, just knowing of his battles right before.
00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:56.319
Death was really trying to take him out.
00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:57.680
That is insane.
00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:02.079
What the hell happened that he was the only one who fell out?
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:07.359
I've read a few articles, but haven't seen anything pertaining to why, how it happened.
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:09.680
Was he not properly restrained?
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:14.079
Um, real life destination.
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:16.559
I'm sorry, real life final destination.
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:19.599
This is wild work praying for the family.
00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:21.839
The devil worked his hardest.
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:24.000
May God bless his loved ones.
00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:25.599
This is so sad.
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:33.039
Has anyone noticed a pattern of deaths at theme parks where folks aren't buckled in properly?
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:37.039
It's like death was chasing this poor man.
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:42.880
This person writes, Cancer, COVID, car fire, coaster.
00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:45.839
Now, you guys, let me read this again.
00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:50.960
Cancer, COVID, car fire, coaster.
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:55.119
That is one, two, three, four, C's.
00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:56.799
All C's.
00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:04.160
So maybe we're gonna look into this because this could Be a hidden Easter egg, a golden Easter egg on all four C's.
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:05.119
What is C?
00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:09.119
What is biblical, old, ancient, you know, I don't know.
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:11.200
Maybe there's gotta be something there.
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:13.279
Cancer, COVID, car fire, coaster.
00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:15.759
I mean, that's just so crazy.
00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:20.960
Um, you know, and of course there's a lot more other comments, and they're fucking nasty.
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:39.759
You know, some of them are like really, but that's the internet, and you know, my episode before is, you know, clickbaits and trolling and gaslighting, and you know, people are gonna say whatever the fuck they want behind a screen and a keyboard or a phone or a tablet or an iPad, whatever.
00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:47.519
Because you would never say that to someone's face on the street, you would never walk into someone's funeral or viewing and say that to the family.
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:49.200
Nobody, nobody would do that.
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:51.680
They don't have the fucking balls, okay?
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:59.920
It just goes to show how the internet internets and intertwines with all walks of life and all kinds of people.
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:02.400
But I will I have to say this again.
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:05.039
This death is insane to me.
00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:14.880
You know, COVID, cancer, car fire, roller coaster, and then he ended up on top of a fucking haunted house.
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:34.079
Like that I mean, I I don't even know if I should say this because it's really it might sound insensitive and I don't mean this, but like in my weird mind on this type of podcast that I, you know, rant on all the time, it's like what did he do in his like past life or lives?
00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:36.319
Like what who deserves that?
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:39.759
I I just he was a teacher, a family man.
00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:52.160
They say he, you know, in all of his pictures, he's like smiling so bright, and he's just got a very, very, very like magnetized warmth to him.
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:54.960
Like you he just he looks like good energy.
00:23:55.519 --> 00:24:10.240
Um, but I hate, I absolutely fucking hate that the pictures of his ass and out will float around the internet for a long time, you know, and uh I don't like that for his family, I don't like that for his kids.
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:14.640
Um, I wouldn't want Jack to see myself or my husband like that.
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:16.000
That's humiliating.
00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:20.960
I mean, that's like I said, it just strips you of your dignity as a human being.
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:47.279
Um, I understand that when you're gone, your body is just the vessel, your soul is not in there, but it still is so important to allow someone to leave this world with dignity and pride and not have their you know, any parts we parts of the body that we wouldn't, you know, we don't walk around with our ass out.
00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:51.359
Well, most of us don't, but like you don't go out to the grocery store naked.
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:59.359
Um, of course, there's TikTok videos on that that people do do that, but anyways, staying on topic, it's just you don't wish that for anyone.
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:03.440
Um, yeah, I I I don't know.
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:10.079
Um I'm actually really curious to see what the outcome is and what caused this.
00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:12.000
And you know, here's another thing too.
00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:18.640
Like a lot of people online were like, oh, he was probably a big fat guy and he went, you know, over the weight limit.
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:20.400
You don't fucking know that.
00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:25.440
And here's the thing, even if that's the case, why did they allow him why did they allow him to get on there?
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:33.279
Because and oh, here's another thing too, and this is what Paul, my husband, made made a big deal about, and I this sticks with me.
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:48.480
He said that a lot of the newer roller coasters, like Six Flags coasters, they're the ones where you sit in the cart and they push down on the bar, and that's all that there is.
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:50.000
It's just a lap bar.
00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:52.559
There is no like over harness.
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:54.000
I don't fucking like that.
00:25:54.160 --> 00:25:56.160
I don't fuck with that, no thank you.
00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:02.559
Um, I want the over, you know, the whole harness over my shoulders, across my chest, all that.
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:04.400
Like, absolutely not.
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:13.359
Um, yeah, I don't think I'll well I definitely won't be getting out of roller coaster anytime soon that is only just sit in with a lap bar across.
00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:14.559
No thank you.
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:28.559
Now, this was many moons ago, so this is like Facebook circa let's say 2007, possibly 2008.
00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:29.119
Okay.
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:41.359
Um, one of my girlfriends were over and we were in my parents' computer room, you know, messing around on the computer like girls do, and um I don't know how we came across it.
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:50.559
It was like um it was an article, and it was people were trying to raise money for this family.
00:26:51.519 --> 00:27:01.119
Okay, the parents both died in a car accident, okay, and it left the son, the daughter, and there was like a baby sibling.
00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:08.240
And I can't remember if it was a boy or girl, but I know the son was the oldest, and then the daughter, and then this third child.
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:11.920
Okay, the grandparents were dead, so the parents are dead.
00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:15.279
Um, everybody like there is nobody to raise these kids.
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:27.519
So the article read something like the oldest boy and the oldest girl were raising this little family together, like with their baby sibling.
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:29.519
Um, they did not want to be apart.
00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:32.240
I think the boy was at least 18.
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:44.240
Now, again, this is like over 20 years ago, so oh my god, I haven't thought about this in a long time, but I knew with this episode I had to end it with this.
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:48.319
Okay, so he's walking across the street.
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:54.079
He made his sister and the baby siblings stay back because he wanted to cross first.
00:27:54.160 --> 00:28:04.880
I guess that was like a rule with them, and he turned around to give them the go to come, to come, you know, his way, okay, walk it safe.
00:28:05.279 --> 00:28:11.440
And a truck simultaneously was turning the corner with sheet metal on the back.
00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:35.759
And the sheet metal, I don't know if all of them are just like a piece or two, flew off the back of the flatbed and fucking decapitated this guy, like like straight across the neck, and just head rolled body a couple seconds later, collapsed, and the sister watched it with the little sibling.
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:38.799
I mean, what in the actual fuck?
00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:42.559
And I remember my friend and I being like, oh my god, is this real life?
00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:51.359
Now, I still remember looking for obituaries in the newspaper with my parents, you know, my grandparents, that was something to do.
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:57.920
Um, I wanna say before Find a Grave was available, it was something else.
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:01.920
You guys, I'm gonna have to research it because it was a long time ago.
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:19.519
But I remember my friend and I looking at that, and I think that was like the link through Facebook or something, and then somebody had wrote this like really extravagant, um, like you know, what's the word?
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:25.359
Like send-off to him, um, and the two surviving siblings.
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:32.480
And I mean, we were reading this, and it was like this whole fucking family was cursed.
00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:36.960
I mean, like, for many, many years, and this person like went on and on.
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:40.079
Like, I don't know why, like, I don't know why these things happen.
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:57.200
Something in there too was like the grandparents died in a fire, and they but that was the house that they lived in, but they or maybe it was carbon, carbon monoxide um poisoning, but anyways, it's it's a long time ago.
00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:04.079
Um, I'm gonna try to dig up this article, and for the life of me, I cannot remember what state it was in.
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:11.680
I don't think it was Michigan, but imagine okay, your grandparents die in a terrible way, tragic.
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:14.319
Your parents are both dead, tragic.
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:20.799
You now are the oldest boy, the only like main man in your family.
00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:50.720
Your sister behind you is like the main woman, and then you guys have this little sibling that you have to raise, and now the main guy, the main man of the family, literally was trying to be safe and always protect them and walked across the street, turned around to tell them, Hey, it's clear, come on over, and boom, a sheet metal flatbed truck is turning, the sheet metal flies off and decapitates that guy.
00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:58.079
I mean, again, these are like these are really wild deaths, and it really makes you think.
00:30:58.640 --> 00:31:02.400
But, anyways, thank you guys for listening and tune in for some more.
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:04.400
I do have some news really quick.
00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:06.480
Oh, my time is almost up.
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:16.240
Um, but I will be doing a spooky adventure on Devil's Night this year, so very soon, with Dawn at Ghost Whisperers.
00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:24.480
Um, also Michelle, her friend, and also kind of part of, you know, I'd say they're like kind of part of the same group.
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:42.079
Um, they like to do a lot of things together and even their separate, you know, things that they do, events, they always invite one another, and I always feel so happy to be invited to go with other ghosts, you know, paranormal teams and do these fun, spooky ghost trips.
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:48.319
Um, I will be taking a friend with me, and then they have um a few people going on their end too.
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:58.640
So we are staying at, oh, can't tell through yet because it's going to be a blind live podcast.
00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:08.880
And that will probably be the next time that I'm on, or probably right after that, because it's gonna get real busy here for the next week, week and a half.
00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:14.079
So, again, you guys go ahead and email me at ghostsisters2124 at gmail.
00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:17.759
Again, that is ghostsisters2124 at gmail.
00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:26.880
And also, I always say if you guys hop onto the actual Buzz Sprout site, you can directly text me, you can leave me a voice memo.
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:28.799
I always want to hear from you guys.
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:37.039
I want to share your stories and your adventures and your experiences, and even more importantly, I'd rather you guys hop on and tell your own stories.
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:46.640
I feel like after this episode, I definitely will need an emotional support ice coffee, and I definitely need the number for the nearest exorcist.
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:49.279
Alright, you guys, tune in for some more.
