Is there any way to identify that knife from the serial killer near Valentine
I'm not sure if the snake was killed by the religious people.
The snake would have been only a skeleton because it happened about 16 years before the story, but, it could be one of those secrets the devs didn't really pay much attention to detail while making them
www.atlasobscura.com/places/helltown-ohio just looked up the story...
Marcel Don’t know. It wouldn’t look as impressive and ominous if it were just a skeleton.
Video idea : secrets/things people may not know about the gangs within the game
Huh, looks like Micah is just chilling in a tree
Funny because I though I saw him in an alley in saint denis
Chill he's in boths places
FACTS
Lol
lol, secret final bossfight - Snake Micah XD
Sometimes I wonder if a dev for this game ever watched this and thought "nice story, but that snake is there because Dave really loves snakes"
Me too. And its really difficult to know that because Rockstar´s devs don´t give interview or speak in interviews very often.
i dont think snake was theri just bcz DEV love snake we already know R* gave a lot of easter eggs including real life incidents. only qstn i have that if locals killed that giant snake why we dont counter any one in the game whos been speaking abut this snake i mean itsa huge snake people might go crazy, also how they killed this giant snake, we dont see any injured side or marks all over its body its totlly clean.
😂
@@LONEWOLF-yq9uk well everyone in the town DIED so nobody would have talked about it
@@gavindelgado3560 what about the people who actually came over and massacred the town? If I killed some massive python that had been deified by Satanists, I wouldn't stop talking about it for years
I remember reading somewhere someone from Rockstar had confirmed that the snake was left over because they tried to do a Legendary Snake, but the physics of a giant snake couldn’t be figured out, when it attacked the physics would get all janky, as you can imagine with the physics engine of RDR, a massive snake would be hard to get right. So instead of that they just draped the snake over a tree as instead.
See, the problem is, there's the meta reason, but then there's the in-universe reason. Like, sure, that may be the meta reason for the snake being there, but in-universe, it's not unreasonable to come to Strange Man's conclusion, that the giant snake is related to Pleasance, since they're so close together.
@@senorsnout4417 Great point. Two valid reasons just one is technical and the other is narrative.
That's what she said 🤣😅
Wait, maybe both are correct. Maybe the snake was supposed to be related to the town, and would be a legendary animal. If it was a side quest it would be even better, like the religious people killed the community but weren't able to kill the snake, or they needed help to take down the satanists, and you would be able to pick a side. I don't know. But this snake had so much potential, and I feel like they definetely could have made a proper animation for it, but they probably didn't want to spend much more time with such a smal thing in the grand scheme of things.
They can do small snakes, just bump it up, they got mods to make animals and people bigger, it’s just upscale versions
One strange thing about the giant dead snake is that it doesn't seem to decay or rot. Even during the Epilogue.
Neither does Mrs Braithwaite
No I went to the house in the epilogue and she wasent there. she was only there pre epilouge
@@jordanflores6174 cause she's crispy
yeah....when i get there in epilogue there was NO snake at all
i went there in epilogue and it is there@@Voodeville
Some dude in his office chair that designed everything on that snake is like "thank god someone noticed my hard work.:
It's you. You're the guy aren't you.
Kaleb Joseph Crocker 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah he’s happy. It’s the same guy
It looks nothing like the one this video said it was designed after lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really wished they had a Legendary Python in the game, would've been hectic. Oh well, Micah was as close as we got.
legendary rat
He was the legendary python
Legendary python who ate legendary rat
@Poop LOL
Lol Micah the rat, and Dutch the snake. Though Micah's a perfect mix: a hybrid rat-snake.
I thought that the “stay out plague” barn was a walking dead Easter egg
There's still the chance that it is. Could be an easter egg within an easter egg.
Don't dead open inside?
It is. The "plague" was the zombie virus from the first RDR and the graves are the loved ones who turned and had to be put down. This town is a reference or even the origin of the Undead Nightmare DLC from RDR. The theory in this video is incorrect sadly.
Also the fact that this game is a prequel to the first RDR and the graves with headstones. This isn't no satanist massacre lol
@@iamjohn117suckit The fact this game is a prequel means the events you just described would not yet have happened, correct? Therefore your theory must be incorrect.
The fact the snake isn't rotting/completely skeletal, speaks to a supernatural nature to the events of Pleasance...great video!
Snake didn't rot because it's part of the clues to the reference to Boston Ohio.
I could see the devs watching this like “maybe we went a little too far”
I like how it shows the insolence and barbaric side of religious groups at the time. But it's funny to think there may have been after thought lol
Or maybe a dev made this video lol I think we all got our own theory about this channel
I don't think R* understands the concept of "too far". Have you ever played any of their other games? Hahaha.
Eric Yoder no because if you read the graves that are in pleasance, every person in the town died on the same day and on some graves it says they were stabbed and on other graves it says they were shot, it was a full blown massacre. I originally thought it was just the plague too.
I dunno, man. If even Nintendo made an Aokigahara (Suicide Forest) reference in Ocarina of Time (a game for CHILDREN), why can't Rockstar make these spooky rabbit holes?
The fact that the game has been out for almost 2 years now and people are still tryna figure this type of shit out is insane
If you think that's insane you must have not of heard of the Call of duty Zombies community
@@silentcaldari7594 and the mount chilliad community
@@silentcaldari7594 the Zombies Community is insane, its another Level.....
@@thesenate4743 Definitely!
You should see Skyrim
As a Herpetologist I feel I should point out that the Snake is a Boa rather than a Python. It lacks the sensory organs known as heat pits which most Pythons have.
Cool! I personally love snakes but my family is mostly scared of them so I might be able to get one when I move out
So like the constrictors in the Amazon?? That would be sick, an Amazonian beast being randomly in America
I inspected the graves nearby and not a single one said they died from any kind of “plague”. They were all shot or stabbed or just “murdered”. That’s when I knew something was up.
but who buried all of them and knew their names
@@eccoboy703 Maybe there were terrorists who came thru this place, shot up everyone, and then they found the snake, and wondered what the hell was some THICC snake doing near this tiny town, then they killed it.
The second theory seems to make the most sense here. It was likely those who carried out the executions considered the residents religious beliefs to not only be sinful but a plague on humanity as well.
The plague they're referring to is evil.
@@eccoboy703 passing by family or friends who stumbled upon the massacre could have buried them
“You remember the snake from the jungle book they put in red dead?”
“You mean satan?”
Yeah this theory is pretty wack
No it is right rockstar loves Easter eggs so you can be right
@@snaker9er irl a circus truck crashed near helltown and thats where they actually think the snake came from, i can almost guarantee that the snake is from the dude who crashed one in the game and lost the tiger. it might be a biblical reference too but idk why no ones thought of that
@@raysinnott2674Yes you are right. Rockstar loves Easter eggs that's why its more likely a Easter egg to the jungle book than to... Satan
Gage Loyst That’s a good point
It all makes sense now... when the snake died the devil had to take another form..
So it took Micah’s form.
Mr. Obunga • 20 years ago the strange man is the grim reaper. Francis Sinclair is the devil
Or maybe even the strange man
D Wong you should check the theory Francis is the devil I’m pretty convinced. Pretty sure this channel did a video about that too
Didn’t really take a different form, just a different breed of snake...
💀
Imagine Rockstar out here sitting and watching these videos and giggling at the theories people have on their game.
I bet it was the story of the garden of Eden.
*A snake, red, which is a color associated with the devil
*Pleasance is a synonym for garden
*something biblical
*the snake brought a “plague” of sin
*deaths perhaps related to said sin?
Once as I rode through Pleasance and stopped for a moment I heard a woman's friendly voice. She said something like "don't go". I was absolutely sure that I was completely alone there. That was so scary 😨
Woah!! Did you look around? Was anyone there?
@@imaghost2961 well you can hear ghosts creepy sounds in woods
@@user-ks4yx4eh5lyeah whenever i’m in the town i hear groaning like zombies but idk if it’s wildlife or not
Apparently a "pleasance" is another name for "garden," so it makes sense that its tied to The Garden of Eden.
There's also grass there and grass have gardens
@@spikey288 in other words the wood on the houses is made of wood
@@spikey288 wow I never thought of it that way
Lol I think they chose a name as close to the opposite of helltown as they could
@Arthur's Dead Horse Your name makes me sad again.
And here I was thinking the snake ate the whole town
If you read the grave stones they all say “gunshot” or “knife wound”
@@Green-we8io no shit, dude just skips over them
And the snake bury them too
@@hellercord5584 he’s very friendly sneky
@@hellercord5584 if the snake is satan maybe satan turned into a man to bury them. Least he could do for stealing there souls if thats the case. Can at least give em a respectful burial before you screw them over ya know?
Dude, your music choice is ungodly. Felt like I was watching a documentary on the Salem witch trials
Was playing RDR yesterday and went by the Pleasance area. Group of bats flew from one of the buildings and spooked my horse - the same thing happened in one of your videos where you shown some "mysterious" secrets in New Austin area.
I love the difference between Arthur finding Pleasance and John, Arthur sketches his view point with some pretty accurate detail. John draws a couple of graves and writes I found an abandoned town. John is not one to keep a Journal and write like that, but does it for Arthur.
Thats so wholesome and shows the development of their relationship throughout the game
Shows how experienced Arthur was tbh
Oh yeah, the game almost encourages you to do most of the side stuff with Arthur just because of how good of an artist he is
He's a fast learner but not experienced
Like lenny, he's smart but not experienced yet.
John's handwriting is much better though, which is kind of funny when you think about how much he dislikes reading and etc. in general.
Someone from the town must have survived, because someone had intricate knowledge of the victims, including their names and birth years. Someone who cared about the murdered townspeople also inscribed a few loving epitaphs on the tombstones, no way a bunch of murderous religious zealots, took the time to bury satanists and inscribe those epitaphs.
great point!
very good point! also why would they bother giving them the dignity of a proper burial with actual headstones?
MetalElephant My thoughts exactly
I didn't even think of this. Great point! It would be interesting if this was true, and we could meet the survivor as Arthur/John, maybe even doing a side mission.
Thot Destroyer 9000 I wonder if the the sole survivor could be the strange man? Maybe he sold his soul to the Devil for immortality, that’s why he survived the slaughter? I think if that is the case, maybe his payment is to wander the Earth collecting souls for Satan now? He did get the soul of the shopkeeper in Armadillo, the shopkeeper even has a picture of him on the wall behind the counter, I’m wondering if he also got the soul of whoever lived in that shack out in the bayou, the one where his portrait mysteriously paints itself?
It's just me or Lemoyne is literally the creepiest state in the game?
It’s crazy to think these are not mods but just all in the base game… Strange man really proved to me that there’s 80% more mysteries than what I thought there were👀
Different theory: the water is contaminated from upstream where all the mining takes place. A few people got crazy sick, shot up the town, ran into the swamps, and became the night folk.
Oh shit wait a second...
Doesnt make sense, whatever river (Kamassa river) carried the contaminate downstream would have contaminated everything in its path, meaning all of bluewater marsh, all of Lagras, Caliga Hall, and half of Saint Denis. Doesnt seem likely...
@@bethanyabrams1 agreed. It just wouldn't only contaminate one small village
Night folk don’t use guns tho.
@@maniacmonkeyy3152 Then what the hell shot me then? I thought they had guns/knives/axes
the giant snake had lumbago and then the whole town died because of it
Lumbago is contagious
It’s a slow yet terminal illness....
🤣
U genius
This comment is just gold 😂
Something else a little odd happens here too. If you visit the school cabin at night and approach the entrance, a strange noise occurs and your horse gets spooked and backs off from the cabin. There is no enemy blip on the map when this happens. I video shot this on my ps4.
same thing happened to me while riding... a wind and my horse got spooked and backed off also
Bats maybe?
Well the bus is suppose to be haunted so maybe the school is too.
I think this theory is probably the best explanation for Pleasance I've seen, but I take issue with a couple things. First of all: "STAY OUT, PLAGUE". Typically, "plague" is reserved for an actual illness, even by hysterical, murderous religious zealots and would not be used without some sort of illness present. The barn seems sealed specifically to keep something in. "UNCLEAN SINNERS" and "ILL WITH SIN" fit the local religious community coming and purging the town, but the barn doesn't fit that really. Neither does the fact that the tombstones have fairly personal, affectionate epitaphs. Someone had to survive. Maybe one of the residents who got cold feet and informed the Christians. The snake has to be something supernatural for it to be linked though, as the town has clearly been in disrepair and abandoned for several years by the time the player finds it and the snake is barely decomposed, if at all, in a swamp. A corpse would not last years, nearly perfectly preserved, exposed in a swamp.
A corpse will be eaten within 24 hours in a swamp, and start rotting from bugs before then
Additionally, several denominations of Christianity (Google says Jehovah's Witness, LDS, Mennonites, and some denominations of Baptists, to name a few) don't use imagery of the cross, or don't often use it, so the church not having a cross does not automatically mean the townsfolk were Satanists, or even non-Christian.
It's possible that some townspeople really were sick with a plague such as cholera, dysentery, or typhus, which could have come from contaminated water in the river, or malaria, which could have been carried by mosquitos from stagnant parts of the river. Since this is the late 19th century (and honestly, people were still doing this in the 20th and now the 21st century), people might have seen their neighbors getting sick and assumed it was divine punishment - hence the "Ill with sin!" graffiti. Those people may have even been from another town, predisposed to think the people of Pleasance were 'sinners' because they held different beliefs.
I'm starting to think pleasance was a rough draft/ early version of Butchers Creek. Curses, sickness, devil worshippers etc, probably left it on as a remnant instead of completely removing it.
@@jeremiahfyan Exactly
This actually does makes sense, i never noticed that the church has no cross
The church in armadillo also has no Cross...... I'm not so sure this theory is correct.
Cacteau twins
@@lmonk9517maybe that ties in with the strange man and Herbert Moon. Moon made a deal with the devil and Armadillo basically turned into a "hell town" 🤷🏻♀️ I don't know lol I'm stretching for ideas
@@lmonk9517 and the whole chemical theory made me think of Butcher's Creek and the pentagram under the shack
@@munkyfishfrog That actually makes a lot of sense for the Armadillo church, good guess.
So the "Stay Out Plague" writing is more a threat, like "Stay out of this town, because you are a plague" rather than a warning of "There is a plague, you should stay out"
Interesting way of thinking of it.
That'd be cool but its actually "Stay Out! Plague" the exclamation point is kinda hard to see
I think the plague is the idea of satanist and the religious want us to not to spread this idea
That and I believe that was also an Easter egg to the first episode of the Walking Dead when the main protagonist first woke up in the hospital.
Maybe they wrote "Stay Out Plague" as an excuse so nobody would go exploring and find Satanist shit in the building.
In red dead online, I saw some people standing in pleasance during night time. I killed one but they were just staring at me. Maybe it was an encounter and it glitched out or it had a meaning.
While this was a fantastic watch, i feel like the town died of a plague and the snake has nothing to do with it lol
What about the people who got shot and stabbed
You posted this last year, but after watching it yesterday, it occurred to me there is a much more present meaning by this... the town represents Dutch's promised land, whether it be California or Tahiti. The problem is there is a snake in his midst and that snake will poison the family and ruin everything. The Pinkertons would be the analog for the neighbors slaughtering the sinners of Pleasance. Finally, in the end, the snake will be dealt with.
Genius foreshadowing if you think about it.
Two things keep surprise me :
- the depth of this game that is actualy unreal
- all the work that you're putting into breaking mysteries and find what hides behind
you're the best RDR2 content creator i know, keep up the good work :D love and support from France
Tugga if your interested in rdr2 cinematic type things you should check out voyagers revenge they are really good
Still mind blown these things exists the average would never notice. Heck I frequently ride by this place and didn't find the snake.
Hell yeha this Guy is THE BEST
I'm half convinced that he either works for Rockstar or knows someone who worked on this game.
Fabian Garcia you right mate i already know him and i fw all his videos he’s the new Sergio Leone
Wow, the hours I've spent on this game exploring in the 2 years its been out, and I've never even seen that giant snake. How is this game so packed with detail?
Distant Soul find something new every time I play
The snake only spawns once then despawns and if you miss it you passing through that area the first time you won't ever see it. The snake is mostly just an Easter egg. The abandoned plague village is a reference to the plague in the town out in the desert.
I found ya again! :)
Trust me i am sad this game didnt got the attention it deserved i say this fight me EVERY GAME COMPARED TO THIS SUCS (idk bout cyberpunk)
@@fafplayz7355 the game that was basically game of the year 2019 didn't get enough attention to you?
I've found the village on my gameplay, but I never found the snake! Wow, still amazes me the amount of details they've added to this game! Time well spent! By the way, can anyone tell me what horse is it that he is using in the footage? Thank you! Great work, by the way!
I believe it's the reverse black dappled thoroughbred, it comes with the ultimate edition of RDR2
Lol I found the snake and shot at it thinking it was a legendary animal to hunt, I was curious about the building structures in the surrounding area though
Being from Ohio myself and fairly close to the real Helltown I think it is cool that you would bring that up. There are plenty of similarities between the two but I don't think that is what happened at all. You have to understand that back in the late 1800s there was actual diseases that spread all over Ohio causing multiple villages to get uprooted. For example Helltown and Moonville. Ironic how they have such dark names considering their fate. Both towns was infected with disease. Moonville was tb and Helltown was in fact due to the spread of something similar. My grandmother told us to stay away from there because it was quarantined off because people was dropping like flies. Helltown was given that name afterwards because the people who lived there went through hell. The satanism stuff didn't start until the 1990s when some teen graffitied a pentagram inside a barn. What I believe happened in red Dead however is the same disease that afflicts the people of Butcher Creek. Inhaled too much swamp gas and eating on what the land around them provides (aka the poisonous sage) drove them insane making them more irritable and physically sick so they believed the devil cursed them. As the residents died off the survivors not having any real medical knowledge instantly blamed the worst mystical thing they could think of rather than blaming their own ignorance. The survivors buried the dead and put up signs after burning down the house it originated in then moved north following the river until they landed where they are now. The snake is just a giant copperhead. A hole other urban legend from these parts. Cool how you put all that together though.
I always am watching this like I'm expecting a jumpscare at the end. The atmosphere of your videos is top notch. Good stuff, man.
Some these shots transition and hitting with the movie fells like a movie.
I totally agree bro
He is a very STRANGE MAN
All the play happens at night so I’m always expecting it too. I love this channel. Strange Man has these mysteries explained perfectly with great visual vids.
@@mybness1541 I watch them at night too haha always has me on edge and in suspense lol
Wait. The giant snake had a meaning?
Edit: The giant snake has a meaning...
Officer Mowon lol
I didn't even know there was a giant snake 🤦🏻 X)
@@effedyourmom5033 goes to show how amazing the game is
Who would've thought that the giant snake had a deeper meaning! Just shows that there are many other easter eggs left to be deeply discovered by strange man 😂
@@nbs5288 dude next thing you know a random stick in the ground is a symbol to the gateway of hell
The most confusing thing about plesance is, that they all got shot or killed with a knife, (attacked) but still someone (probably not the ones who killed them) buried them and remembered them positively even though the attack is excused....
probably the local officials buried them, I'm guessing that the bodies were kept inside the barn before the officials investigate the area and buried them
2:35 , soon as you mentioned ohio i knew something was sus since in 2022 ohio memes are erupting 🤣
Only in Ohio
That music makes me expect jumpscare any second.
I'm glad that you like my music. 😉

@@RuescheSounds Eerily beautiful!
@@dragonkamran What he said was a compliment to the music.
Music by Ruesche-Sounds guess I’m bad at reading English.
As someone who lives near and family history is deeply connected to "Helltown" or Boston Township, a ton of it's all just urban legend. The picture showing the church and bus are photoshopped together.
Yeah it was painfully obvious
Perspective was way out
@@pieandmorepie I was cringing so hard lol
I was gonna say lol
The only part of "Helltown" left in Boston is a road that's been closed. You can park and walk around a barricade and see the road that's been retaken by nature just go off into the woods. Really creepy vibe. But if you actually walk back everything has been taken down. Pretty sure the land is owned by state or national parks now.
I love your videos they never feel like clickbait or like they drag on too long for content always straight and to the point it's nice
This might be the most interesting RDR2 lore video I've seen. Good work!
If RDR2 Undead Nightmare was a thing, Pleasence would have been a graveyard cleanse mission with the giant snake as a boss fight.
Undead nightmare 2 needs too happen
If it would happen it would more likely be cowboys vs aliens
If Rockstar has any dignity when they inevitably release rdr2 remastered on next gen for full price it needs to have undead nightmare 2 on it.
Omggggggggggggggg there should also have a single player snake fight
I’ve always thought that the “stay out plague” sign was a reference to “don’t open, dead inside” from the walking dead
I thought someone healthy had written it on the barn before hiding in it so the sick go and read it and say: well, we cant argue with this logic, and leave
Furyan Auror yeah i heard that the tombstones had to with the walking dead theory. I like the theory in the video better tho cuz it just seems more complicated
DONT DEAD
OPEN INSIDE
your theory pushed me to another theory:) theory about people who was possessed by demons. because zombies have nothing about religion. but demons are - plague and sins. I don't feel like Pleasance people was Satanists. btw who cares about Satanists? I mean who bury them in normal graves and carefully leave those inscriptions? and why these graves still not destroyed if it was nasty Satanists? because those people was a victims, not the enemies. And snake ... it's just a snake In the woods lol
@@smallkotya a rather large snake, but yeah. Perhaps. Next time im near the snake, im gonna eat an apple, just to see what happens.
“Goddamn snakes!” - Dutch
damn, every time I saw a video regarding RDR2 especially one of your videos, it really makes me want to play the game again even though I've played it for how many times and even though I know the story, this game is a masterpiece. keep it up, man!
The python, should be legendary animal.. Or point of interest, mybe..
I kind of do think it was supposed to be a legendary snake
Gee, imagine trying to hunt that thing.... Oh! Think of what it'll do when it chases and catches you! Now that be getting brown stains in beds.
@@dalemccarthy4301 in the games coding, if you were to mod, you can spawn a MASSIVE boa. It's got the animations on point, but it can't be skinned and when carrying it bugs out. Maybe eventually we will see it officially in the game

@@SunBunz John drew it
I’m sure John’s version makes Arthur’s look like a high schooler.
one day I was bored so I made this yeah Arthur's rendition is much better. Nice detail
I thought “the plague” was a reference to Undead Nightmare, ya know.. and the headstones were placed there in honor of the people that had unfortunately been put down because of them having gotten bitten or something. I have no idea about the snake.
I have played this game for hundreds of hours and still there have been so many things that I've missed... However the ones I did discovered made me feel great because there are so many well hidden little details.
Imagine this being a side quest for the Legendary Snake. This would have made this game 2 times better. Along with maybe a bigfoot sighting.

You do if you’re a Christian. You know, Christian burial? Most Christians I know believe that how you treat the dead is every bit as important as how you treat the living. Rockstar did their homework.
There could be another theory as a an entire gang came and murdered the town, but that doesn't explain the church and the snake

@@scallywag4978 Christians literally believe suicide makes you ineligible for heaven but they’re going to go out of their way to make sure an entire coven of devil worshippers have polished and symmetrical headstones? Not buying it mang
Out of all your videos I watched this one always gives me the chills
I've always thought that the town's name was a tribute to actor Donald Pleasence (even though the name of the place is Pleasance) and that the dead (almost all stabbed according to the tombstones) was a reference to Halloween. As for the words on the walls and the snake, I think it is a loose end that this video came to clarify. Good video, greetings from Chile.
"Let's take a look at the church."
*no, I don't think I will*
Especially in the dark, lol.
But it's amazing
The moment I scrolled down to this comment, I see it in the actual video. Perfect timing
Best rdr2 channel out there hands down
What about the Chingler?
And fizshy these two are my favorites by far
And the gamer eyes
*best channel out there hands down
I know people can't make original videos now days but this channel flips that around
Satisfied to your explanation, thank you for sharing and more power and more content like this on RDR2 to come. cheers! 🍻
Just stumbled on your channel
And subbed. Love the content! I’m amazed at how complex this game is. Thank you!
Easy when you're one of the game devs, Strange Man.
I suspect this too XD
phahhahaha legit
no doubt about it, time period fits for dropping the facts when most likely everyone viewing these clips have finished the game. R* never drops knowledge like that with their own face or never answers when they're asked about stuff, so knowing players will get frustrated with not getting closure on things, they use this method, think its funny that if somebody in game WOULD know al of these things, its the strange man right, perfect character to use for storytelling
The suspicious thing is the strange man never replies to comments like this 🤔
Dave Pharell that’s quite STRANGE!
"Let's look at what inspired this secret" *Jolly ranchers ad plays*
Huh.
fools it was them who started the plauge
Lul i had reeces in a peanut butter cup ad for mine. I lol when it happened
I got a zip and an up and go ad 😂

This video is really well done. I love that you added the organ music when you were talking about the church. There was also a church bell added in there somewhere that I really loved. I was hoping to hear that one again. As for the theory though, I think you're wrong.
Dude these videos feel like watching a Netflix Docu-series. They're great!
actually, due to the fact that the snake is so large, i would say that the snake is less a reference to satan and more a reference to micah
If you look closely, you’ll see the snake forms the letter ‘M’ with its body. There’s always a bigger snake out there right?
MICAH'S DOUBLE?! WHY THAT GOD DAMN RA... I mean snake.
I absolutely adore John's drawings, the way he attempts to encapsulate the town graves and trees is amazing. A modern picasso
except Picasso was born around the time John was lol
My man, your vids are sick brother. They suck me in well and proper really enjoying watching them!! 🏴🏴
I so happened to stumble upon your videos and man are they interesting to watch. It seems like you did a looooot of research.😁
I discovered that Snake early in the main history with Arthur, later came back with John in the epilogue and it wasn't there, creepy as f**k ._.
It's like 7-8 years, it decomposed, lol.
-Speedy_-701 i bet it’d take longer than 7-8 years for any body to fully decompose. At the very least there’d be a rotted body or bones
@@Cmmdre977 It's a swamp, the perfect environment for the quickest decomposition.
-Speedy_-701 true. There’d still be some remnants of it though right
The Commodore the dehydrated skin-jerky and most of the skeleton would be intact.
It would probably fall apart after awhile and no longer be in the tree, but you’d still see remnants
Everybody gangsta until it's based on a real life event.
@Wavybone Andretti he is a guy :l
Ethan Rhodes have to agree with you there, the most likely suspects are the raiders. The snake is just that, a snake, an Easter egg. A simple way to pay homage to one of the most popular kid’s movies ever (can you say it’s paying homage, if it killed the snake?), the snake just so happens to be there, although it is weird how it’s been 16, or 24 years and it hasn’t been decomposed
@@emutv4100 who Knows? It Might Not Even Be Dead.
I think this is the best video you have made💪👍 continue your good work
Thank God for this vid.. I can't imagine just riding around one day and seeing that snake.
Lets get a F in the comments after they said they're remastering GTA V for the third time when they have a newer game that is desperate for content
F
F. I've played through Red Dead Redemption 2's campaign twice, and would do it a third time on the PS5, GTA V? Fun for sure, replayable to me? No.
Yeah why not remaster RDR 1 as DLC for RDR 2 so we can play through both games as 1 that's why I believe New Austins in the game so they got a head start that area is pretty damn empty too!
F
F
It’s a good theory but I’m still holding out hope for an undead nightmare
They have to do it. The one in rdr1 was so good.
I really hope they do
@@hotarushidosha They have the Jade Mask in the game...it's in Saint Denis...
@@indiana_holmes yep, in the fence's shop
André Menezes too busy with their crappy RD online
Rockstar confirmed there wouldn't be any more content for RD single player, hopefully they don't make online a shitshow. They did confirm, however, that a third installment would be in the works "if" RD did good on sales, which did AMAZING so hope that they'll make it for the 3rd game even though it'll probably come out in 5 years lmao
The actual history of Hell Town is nothing like this, but equally interesting.
After the Native American tribe Mingo left the settlement for unknown reason, another tribe named Lenape settled down at the site in 1770s after being forced by colonial settlers to relocate from their original home via the Treaty of Easton.
Another reason the Lenape relocated was due to the fact that many of them were Morovians, the Christian pacifist Native Americans who wanted to escape and stay away from the violent battles amid the American Revolution.
After hearing that the word clear was spelled hell in German, Lenape named their new settlement Hell Town to note the clear stream of water nearby. This had nothing to do with actual hell, but gave the inspiration for many urban legends.
In 1782, however, the Morovian Massacare occured, in which 96 Morovians mainly from Lenape were killed by the locoal militia after being falsely accused of helping out the Brits during the revolution and pillaging the nearby settlers' food.
As the aftermath of the massacre, Lenape abandoned Hell Town and settlers came in their place. The settles plowed down the town's grave site of the local Lenape after 1881.
And then as it was explained the video, the numerous features of the colonial town inspired the urban legend theories, but none of them are backed up by the concrete evidences.
Chemical spill theory: No historical record or sign of the chemical spill or giant mutated python. This theory, in fact, was likely inspired from the news of improperly disposed chemicals found by the national park service while cleaning up the abandoned town to establish a national park at the site. However, the theory got so popular that even the nearby locals now celebrate the Python Day.
Satanist theory: Inspired from the upside-down cross design of the town's former church building. However, this is rare, but not uncommon gothic architecture style for a normal church.
Haunted town theory: Inspired by the abandoned school bus and mysterious sightings of the ghostly people even after the town is now fully abandoned. But no record of children ever getting murdered. And the sightings were likely of the people who temporarily lived for a while after the town was abandoned. The theory once again gained the support when the Travel Channel's documentary titled Hell Town in 2019 presented the photos of the town's two missing children as proof, but it was later found out to be the fake stock photos found online. There also was the video of a girl in 2016 getting hunted by creatures and screaming, but the video looks hilariously fake.
Crybaby bridge theory: Rather a recent theroy which claims that you can hear the crying sounds of murdered babies while crossing the town's abandoned bridge. Likely inspired from the town's creepily closed off and abandoned roads. There rumours to be the road named End of the World which abruptly cuts off at the cliff. The dangerously tore down and un-maintained roads are the first reason why the road to the town was shut off, not haivng anything to do with covering up or hiding the paranormal activitieis as the urban myths claim. Also, once again, no record or evidnece of babies or young children ever getting murdered in the former town.
What actually happened was that the town's people were forced to sell their homes to the government and relocate in 1974 to make the space for Cuyahoga Valley National Park, which now replaces the town's location. However, the government left the creepy abandoned buildings and graveyard while closing off the town's roads for historical preservation and fire training, which unfortunately generated even more rumours. When all the commotions from the urban legends kept atrracted the negative rumours to the area now named Boston, OH, they finally tored down the old church building and disposed the school bus.
There recently has been the photos of Hell Town's giant sceret underground facility circulating around the web, but hasn't been confirmed or validated.
Sorry to be that guy but that is actually a completly different Hell Town in Ohio (Guess the Ohio memes were right about it) The one referenced in the video used to be known as Boston. The Government bought all the property to add it to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park forcing Boston to be abandoned. Also Hell means Bright in German
Imagine having the giant snake as a legendary animal
I'm surprised you didn't point out the fact that if the snake had died near the time when the towns folk did, the snake would have surely decomposed by now but yet there it hangs in the tree still....
Maybe the snake is not dead...
It is CURSED
I thought it was fake when I played the game. No blood comes out of it when shot or anything like that.
@@willflint5014 Maybe the blood dried out
doesn't that further enforce the devil theory, that its not a living thing but something else, something that even decomposers wouldn't touch
And instead of getting this masterpiece game in PS5 we will once again get GTAV..
I think if you have the downloaded version of the game, you can play on ps5. I recently found games I only had on the 3, redownloadable for free in my library. So i think you will be able to play rdr2 on the ps5
@@heitorguimaraes9922 yeah but i mean just like GTAV will have better graphics and etc..why not get RDR2 like that??
HellenicBlackcap ur right. GTA gets all the attention when the better game is RDR2
They sure as hell will release it. I’m positive
Pinky Pie i tell people this alll the time , and that it’s the fans fault for buying into it for this long . Why make a new one when your 8 year old game is still likely making you millions on millions a year .
The music gives me chills, I love it.
I’m 11 months late to this video but did anyone else hear weird sounds coming from the barn when exploring this place? I’ve only heard of a couple of players saying it happened to them and you have to be standing there a while but it happened to me while I was sitting on my phone with the game running. Never heard an explanation for it and it spooks me out lol
I’m 11 months late to your comment haha
"Lets take a look at what inspired this secret"
"LETS PLAY RAID SHADOW LEGENDS"
Perfectly timed ad
I feel like this guy is actually the Strange Man and the whole Red Dead universe it's some sort of enigma made by him and he's just guiding us through it
how was it when u were fab?
Bro I always get the feeling that game is way too immersive like it’s almost not a game how responsive the shit it I mean not really but still it’s fun to think about and tying the strange man, yea he’d definitely be some sort of puppet master in the whole scheme lol
Facts
wow good job 👌🏽i love all your videos omg
Very interesting! Entertaining for sure! I liked it! Kept my attention the entire time. Kinda spooky. Still, still a mystery of what happened to the town even after this spooky theory!
What if the giant snake was just a foreshadowing of Micah lmao
no.have you even watched the whole video?
Brianna Diaz it's a JOKE.
Brianna Diaz wooosh
MiCaH Is A rAt!
No I don’t believe there are any rat-snake hybrids in this game lmao.
2:55 the image of Helltown looks heavily photoshopped though, the schoolbus doesn’t look like it’s properly there because the lighting doesn’t match and same with the church, they’re also both at quite odd angles
smh they tried to fake "Pleasance" into "helltown" irl
It's a school bus not a school.
Yeah, it is photoshopped, I've seen that exact photo before. It's because the sign entering Helltown, the church and the bus are nowhere near each other, it was done to highlight the 3 legendary areas of Helltown
A population of 350,000 people, and the welcome sign is on a dirt road.😂 It's entirely fake.
love ur vids man!
I just found this video and I'm psyched. I live a couple miles away from Helltown. What a cool reference!
I’m not sure if he has already covered this, but I want to know what is up with the deer house and the reed house, they’re almost identical inside and also their names. Idk I thought it might have a deeper meaning
look it up on reddit, I remember seeing some discussion and explanation of it there
Evan S reed is deer backwards that’s all I know 😂😂😂
Reed Deer Redemptiom
i know the places you mean- my theory is the deer house represents honour (blue), and the reed house represents dishonour, as it’s red and backwards. apart from that, i’m not certain
When I was a child and people told me the story of God, I remember that many people said to me "if you don't listen to the devil he will disappear" so I believe that the snake was not killed but rather died alone since nobody thought of him anymore
I agree.
It's weird because the snake never decays but you can see it dead and if the dates are right and that big snake is apart of this then I think your theory is sort of true knowing how the towns people died and they worshipped Satan I'm guessing the snake died by people not worshiping him but never vanished or decayed because people still remember Satan and my theory support this by the the devil mans cave in the mountains of rdr2 the guy really loved the idea of being a devil so he probably knows that the devil is real and going with your theory the snake never vanishing because people still believe that Satan is real just died because no ones like the idea of it but I dunno thats my take on it
@@batzfake7106 Put in butcher creek and you have something.
Maybe the guy in the cave is a person who lived in the town and is the only survivor?
unrelated to this but related to what you said. i dont understand why parents force religion on their kid. just let them live their life like how they want to live it.
my paremts told me that 'if you ever do wrong then you will go to hell' sadly i didnt take it the way it was supposed to be taken so i grew up scared to do anything because i thought if i did something wrong then i would go to hell.
Man this game is just so deep it’s unbelievable. Rockstar out done themselves with the story in this game. Absolutely breathtaking! My favorite ever
Can we all just stop and take a moment to appreciate the amazing editing in his videos….. 😮 whether or not I agree with your theory you have some crazy editing skills my man.
I can't decide if i'm an idiot because i actually thought a plague happened there, or strange man is a genius and therefore figured it out.
Probably both.
Probably neither
i am almost certain he is a game dev, i mean where the hell did he get this info from. or he could be a genius
What does plague means? I am not english speaker.
@@CercaTrova13 A contagious deadly disease.
Honestly I still think it was just a plague but hey who knows
"Lets take a look in what inspired this story."
*spotify ad plays*
*OH GOD*
I'm pretty sure it was the avengers
For me it was mcdonalds
Funky looking condoms
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Holy shit that was very well done man. They need you in the horror movie industry to set the scenes right. 😆 You have a way of making me feel like I'm watching a movie or documentary even though I know damn well it's a game.😃
1:35 no kiddin', this reminds me of The Walking Dead's -Do not open dead inside-.
Keep up your great work! I must have watched all your secret videos by now god I love them and keep returning to them!
(fun fact I am watching this while theres a storm so that really adds to the vibe)
Does anyone else get a feeling of someone, no, *something* watching you while you're in Pleasance?
I get the same feeling in that bunt up town by the Dakota River. Mostly around the prison.
honestly yeah
Yea but I just think it’s the gators
@Kai Klein could it be the dinosaur lady?
@Kai Klein most likely the dino lady
Probably the strange man👀
This guy is so good at doing what he does, he puts in so much depth and details into his theories and honestly should have more attention.
Thanks strange man!, very intriguing
