Hey, Danielle! Love how you're always so invested in these cases, never stop doing them! Could we see more of your dog, Daisy? She is sooo cute! Also, why your merch shop page isn't working anymore? :/
Hey Danielle, I was wondering if you could please be more specific with the trigger warnings? Not that many of these cases affected me, but ik it’d be helpful to many of us! 🤍
This case is local to me and I personally went to this house to buy very bad things one time with a friend. To be honest, when I was in deep addiction I never really realized how bad some of my surroundings were. This house was definitely the worst I'd ever been in but an addicts brain does not care about that in the moment. I only cared about my score and never thought about it again until I heard this story on the news years later. Undiagnosed/treated mental health issues often turn into drug addiction and drug addiction + poor mental health can absolutely turn into something this horrific. Its so, so sad. I'm 6 years sober now and every time i hear this story told my stomach just feels so uneasy at the thought of what I could have become if not for the day I decided to get help for myself.
I'm not an addict myself. But I have loved ones who are and the neighborhood I live in is pretty bad. I was thinking the same thing about untreated mental health leading to addiction etc. I came here to talk about it but you said it perfectly and coming from someone recovered (CONGRATS 🤍) it's more valuable.
Good for you for realizing that life is so much more than drugs. Also thank God you were only there once and didn't become part of this sick freak show. Keep up the good work and may you continue on the positive path of life❤
I went to school with John or Pazuzu. I knew him as John. He was in my art class. He was bullied and did smell. I was friendly enough with him bc I hate bullies. He had asked me to be his gf but thankfully, I passed. I moved away and found out years later that he turned out like this…. Wow. Scary & truly sad for the victims and animals
Damn, that is awful. I'm glad you hade the proper mindset and sense to see he wasn't good to get with, whether you liked him or not. It's weird, knowing people who turned out evil or super fucked up.
What makes this case SO SCARY is the fact that SO MANY PEOPLE were involved and went to that house, voluntarily, to fulfill their nasty desires. Knowing that there are so many people that actually like that nasty environment and disturbing activities, must make us meditate about the overall mental health of humanity. And, THAT, is scary.
💯 Sometimes I am overwhelmed with sadness thinking about the depravity some people display. What has gone so wrong in these people that they no longer have any humanity? 😢
I agree. It's so scary how many people are deranged and hedonistic these days! Now, I'm sure that I'm much older than you, but, over the years I have witnessed such a change in the morals of the younger generations...Of course I'm generalizing here. I know my generation had some sick shit going on as well, however, there seems to be such a complacency amongst the youngsters (JK) these days. Now we have school shootings happening every other week and the disrespect is incredible! Ok,enough of my ranting...As for this case I think there was some higher up people in that community that participated in some of those " parties " and that sick dude had something on someone!? I mean why else was he able to get away with so much? Peace too all ❤
@@theduchessofschroon6111I'm 57 and I get what you're meaning. I think some form of these people had always existed but in some lifetimes it becomes more "normalised". Human patterns go in circles of acceptability over decades and centuries. After the decadence it leads back to puritanical and round the round-a-bout it goes again.
Hey guys! Local of the area and I HAVE BEEN IN THAT HOME AND HAD A CONVERSATION WITH PAZ. This was 2005, maybe 2006? Before he filed his teeth down he had dreadlocks and the house was a “typical” party house and almost every teenage person from the area would go drink or smoke there. No animal sacrifices or sex parties 😂 I was brought by a friend the first time I went and even back then the house was so filthy, I remember looking at the light switches covered in brown grime and was like oh my god I’m not accepting anything anyone offers me here. And when you went to use the bathroom in house you’d go through his mothers room which was the only clean one in the house, cluttered but clean. Needless to say I did not stay long! On another occasion I went with an ex boyfriend to pick up a friend from the home. Paz and I had a conversation, he had pet praying mantises and I thought that was kinda cool. He also had pet rats. They did not seem neglected. But he did say some weird shit about maybe giving the rats plague and releasing them? And also taught me about Rasputin. I can’t remember the specifics all I can remember is being like wow I’m not a judge mental person at all but this MF is weird. But still seemed like the type of person who no one took seriously about anything he was saying. I thought he was kind of a joke. On another note there was a rumor that went around maybe 2007? That he and another acquaintance were doing drugs and had a pact if one of them ODed that they’d cut eachother up and bury each other in the backyard. I guess said acquaintance had passed out and woke up to Paz cutting his leg. Was never confirmed but as a 16-17 year old I know I didn’t take him seriously and thought he did everything just to seem “cool” or whatever.
Hard not to feel that way back then. I was in high school during those years and Marilyn Manson/ICP were all the rage. It was just, the althernative culture of the time. I'm sure he just looked like a typical loser back then. Not a kid but clearly not a capable adult.
I dont think you'll see this Danielle, but ever since I got broken up with and had a fall out with some friends Sundays have become almost unbearable. It's the day I used to hang out with people, and now your videos are the only thing keeping me company and I'm so so thankful to you for making them. You make me feel less lonely
@@michukitoYou'll come thru it! It will get better! But its definitely understandable that it might seem like your 🌎 is crumbling a bit! But take this as an opportunity! Am opportunity for radical change & make your dreams come true! Sometimes we have dreams & then we get complacent w\life & all. So maybe dig deep & find stuff that you've let go or forgotten about & dive back in. But it's good to keep your mind busy from dwelling! Sending you lots of 💖💕💖! You got this!
Hi I would just like to say that I used to feel the same, Sundays can feel so long. Then I thought of the saying ‘ every cloud has a silver lining’, this started me thinking “ok where or what is my silver lining?” I turned my Sunday into Sunday is My Day, I can do things today that I always used to want to do, but life took over, I never had time. So I just started with colouring books and some pens, and before I knew it the day past and I was in a calm mood, then I got a jigsaw and Sundays are still My Days and people know not to contact me to do anything, wether I’m out walking or inside crafting it’s my time to exactly what I want. My Silver Lining. I hope you find yours 🌻🐝x
I appreciate your definition of agoraphobia, as someone who was diagnosed with it years ago, because a lot of people just boil it down to "you're afraid to leave the house" and it is so much more than that. Thank you 😊
Ooh...I haven't watched the video yet, I was just browsing through the comments, but now I want to see what she says. I also have agoraphobia and no one understands it. I've even had doctors question it. I tell them my diagnosis and they're like, "Well, you're sitting here in my exam room, so you must not have it." 🤦♀I think people picture us just standing in the open doorway of our house longing for the chance to leave but trapped by our illness. That's not how it works at all. Sure, I've been homebound before. I was homebound for 2 years at one point, but I have a therapist and I've done exposure therapy and I take medication. I'm actually able to live a pretty "normal" life. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and it's been a journey, but just because I can go in public doesn't mean I don't still have it. I've never actually seen it properly depicted in a film, it's usually a horror trope. Trust me, if there were a crazed killer in my house, I would have NO PROBLEM leaving. I would grab the dog and be the first one out! LOL
agoraphobia is the fear of fear itself, or a fear of having a panic or anxiety attacks, therefore people suffering from agoraphobia stay where they know they "feel"safe- at home and cant leave without suffering a panic attack.
Thank you for acknowledging the difference between this kind of "satanism" and the church of Satan. I am not involved in either but I am passionate about spreading awareness when it comes to cults, religions, and high control groups. misinformation is so dangerous.
Sometimes poor people make the worst decisions for themselves, even worse when there's an untreated mental issue, I know, I've been down that road, it's not PC to have this conversation but it's a harsh truth.
Yeah I almost smelled the picture. Made me wonder how somebody could live or go to that house. Makes me so happy that I care about how clean my house looks.
I’m really struggling with how inept, unprofessional and just sheer bloody lazy the police were in this case and as for someone bleeding out when on suicide watch robbing the families of any kind of justice. This case is so incredibly frustrating and heartbreaking.
I used to skateboard past his house on the way to school still live just a few miles away. It’s crazy when you think someone like this is just down the street from you and now as a father myself it makes you question things way more. Thanks for covering this case!
On the way to WEST???!?! Man I used to longboard right by his house as well. I remember one time being tired and chilling on a little concrete block across from his house without realizing. Now that I think about it it gives me goosebumps.
I can only imagine the STD's being spread along the yeast infections from hell those women got from sleeping with Pazuzu. For his mother, I believe she simply did not care as I think, as are my two theories, she had resentment towards his father and chose not to take care of him and not deal with his issues as a result of her own heartbreak and loneliness and slept with a bunch of men. And she let him do whatever he wanted as she probably either didn't want to deal with it or she couldn't control him. His mother is partially to blame because she didn't want to put in the work to help him in his issues. Despite not being able to afford mental help, just being a mother to a troubled child goes a long way. She did not even bother to give him the tools to help cope. She basically just let him rot mentally to his own devices
I agree. Just showing a child that you love them and that you will always be there for them goes a long way. I think some parents assume that their child understands that they are loved unconditionally. But that isn't the case if your behaviour as a parent says something different.
@@bethmahadocon1887 Without a doubt. I also think her own issues stemmed from her husband leaving and she created a mess for herself that deeply affected her son.
He needed his father. Every child and youth needs a father. The vast majority of children who never had, or barely had, a father turn out to be degenerates. Thanks for The Great Society Act, LBJ -- may he burn in hell for all of eternity!
Pazuzu is a Sumerian demon, but is misrepresented in The Exorcist. He actually protected people from other demons! So not really a demon in the way we think about it. Funny how he apparently studied witchcraft, but doesn’t understand demonology 😂 Anyway, great video Danielle! I always look forward to your content. You do such an amazing job ❤️
His development stopped at 13 years old eventhough he was an adult. His Mom is definitely part of the problem. I've heard this story before but you went into more detail. Thanks for all your hard work.
My heart breaks for the families of the men killed by Pazuzu. Also how did a convicted felon get probation when he is not supposed to have a gun, do drugs or drink?!? We know he broke those 3 rules! 🤬
Yup, disgusting and wrong how they allowed this man to think he can get away with murder, maybe one of them was ininvolved I've heard of this be true in other cases. God protect all from evil and please help your child. I understand mother might have been scared of him as he was old enough physically to hurt her.
Great coverage yet again, yeah Pazuzu isn't just from The Exorcist. "In ancient Mesopotamian religion, Pazuzu (also called Fazuzu or Pazuza) was a personification of the southwestern wind, and held kingship over the lilu wind demons. He was considered as both a destructive and dangerous wind, but also as a repellant to other demons, one who would safeguard the home from their influence. In particular he was protective of pregnant women and mothers, whom he could defend from the machinations of the demoness Lamashtu, his rival. He is invoked in ritual and representations of him are used as defense charms."
Wow that's a really good explanation, I have been living here in Winston Salem for a few years now, and what's crazy is how people never realized what was truly going on inside that house. His house was actually tore down because of everything that happened in there.
Yeah, Pazuzu was considered a friend to humans. Archaeologists have found little protective plaques and little doorstops with him on it that were made to scare away evil spirits. There’s this really cute one that shows great artistic skill where he’s peeking over the top of the inscription tablet and making a face while on the backside is carved the rest of his body.
Thank you so much for covering this case, Danielle! I’m one of the people who requested you tell this story, and you did it more respectfully and thoroughly than I’ve ever seen it before. This is one of the worst cases I’ve ever heard of, not only because of the individuals involved, but also because of the appalling nature of the police “investigation “. Truly despicable. Again, thank you for covering this case! ❤
I am also one of the people who requested it! I've been commenting on every one of her videos requesting it for like a month or so. She did it wonderfully. So respectfully. Encapsulates all of the horrendous things that happened. Also should out to Matt for doing the right thing. Really really cool that she listens to fans.
Yes it's really insane what was going on with the investigations. I swear I have lived in Winston for years and we never heard anything about this until after his death. It seems like they kept everything under lock and key. Weird.
WINSTON SALEM NATIVE HERE- I grew up in the city that this freak is from! I lived there for 20 years. So, so, so excited to hear you cover this case. Growing up as a kid people whispered about this guy like he was the boogeyman of suburbia but I never knew any of the details of the case until I grew up and got into true crime. Absolutely crazy - I love my hometown. Winston Salem is a center for art and culture and innovation and pride in NC and so different from what people think the southern US is like. Knowing that he existed and did all these horrible things on the outskirts of my home always sends a shudder down my spine. Truly he’s the opposite of everything we love about our city. The house he lived in was demolished in 2015 when I was in high school- it was deemed unfit for human occupation. Hopefully something new and good- whether it’s a forest or a new home or just a grassy field- can take up residence one day on the ground where it stood. edit: to be more specific, Pazuzu lived in Clemmons, a small town/suburb of Winston Salem, which is a proper city. Danielle is right when she says that Clemmons is much more religious and old-fashioned than Winston Salem, however we still consider it part of the city as a whole.
I think it would still be very off-putting if another house was built in it's place and I personally would never want to live in a house where so many animals and people were murdered. So much negative energy in one place, I have no doubts it would be haunted 😳 😅
How is it, that mom can witness a murder. Tell the cops about the murder. Deny entry to her home. Then when they find the people murdered mom doesn't get jail time 🤷🏼🤦🏼
1. I’ve heard this story a few times, but I had never heard the full back story (and many other things you mentioned). As always, you do an amazing job of making stories that were previously told feel BRAND NEW. 2. When I heard this story before, I felt sorry for his mom, but now I’m like “Hello Ma’am…do you realize you literally created a monster?”….Thanks for setting me straight on THAT 😮😂. 3. I should not have decided to eat while I watched this😫🤣. And what is WRONG with these women??? Did they EVER had any dignity??? I would feel bad for some of them if I wasn’t so DISGUSTED by them…I can see a few people participating in this disgusting madness because once in a while a psychopath and a sociopath team up…but SOOOO many at the same time is frightening! It makes you think that this could be happening in many places and we just don’t know about it…yet. People! Please teach your kids this is NOT okay! 😢
Maybe they had some serious mentalhealth issues. Like Pazuzu had shizopherenia and used probably stimulants like meth. That combination will make him delusions exponentially worse. Some people live like this every day and cant control their behavior. They will be danger to them self and others. Its sab but true.
🚫 No trespassing and no gang members allowed 🚫 but you can poo in a corner 👍👍 😂😂😂😂 love you Danielle ❤ its great to watch American cases told from an English point of view! I love the small things, like you saying 'wee' instead of 'pee' etc. Its comforting to hear those things - it makes me feel like youre my friend and were sitting talking about true crime 😊 love to see you each week!
The mom could afford alcohol but not treatment 🤔🙄 he may have committed the crimes but I believe it’s the parents fault. Thanks for covering the backstories 💜💜
He's ultimately responsible for his own behavior, as we all are, but his parents/mother in particular has a significant role to play in what happened and helped create the monster he became.
I personally think that the reason his mom never told him “no” is because he had manipulated her into believe that everything bad that happened to him was his mom’s fault and that he is completely innocent. And considering the lifestyle the mom had before Pazuzu became an adult, he would have a fair point. She could’ve laid down the law in the house, set a better example for her son, got him the help that he needed and put his needs first, but she didn’t do any of that. At the end of the day, she cared about herself.
I havent finished the video but i like how danielle gets so invested in telling these stories she sat with unblended concealer under her eyes for a good 5 minutes 😂 you do such great work telling these stories!
Danielle saying, "When Pazuzu was 2 years old...." 😂😂😂 I get using the one name for the whole story, but it's absolutely hilarious-sounding and just wrong at times! I love you, Danielle, you're one of my verrrrrrryyyyyy favorites! Thanks for bringing us some amazing spooky stories, I can't wait to see what you've got planned the next 2 weeks 😍👻🕸☠️🩷
Excellent question! I have a follow-up: do you think the cops would have walked away from a house literally smelling like decomposing bodies if the occupants were black?
Hello i'm from Mississippi (USA) and would love to watch you cover the heart breaking case of Emmit Till please and thank you. Keep up the great work i've followed you for several years now.
Every bit of this is his mother’s fault. He was doomed at birth because of her. And ironically he will be able to hang out with satan for eternity. What a nightmare. My heart breaks for all of the animals that died at this demons hands
I feel you! I agree the mother was at fault but it is also important to remember that Pazuzu (I probably spelled that wrong...don't care) is also at fault. People can be mentally ill and not act like that. He was an evil monster, who chose to be that way. No excuses for him or his mom. They were both bad.
@@psychokittyletsplayandmore8589 exactly. Makes you wonder too how far back you can go in a family to see neglect and abuse. I wonder what her childhood was like
There are many people who grow up in very very bad situations and don't turn out like this. At some point you have to grow up and become an adult and overcome the situation. People grow up much worse. She did put him in therapy I just think she didn't know how to handle the situation. Yes she did some messed up stuff but come on
Just please remember that sometimes therapy and proper medications isn't enough. Some people can have the most loving of homes, proper therapy, medications, involved guardianship... And it's not enough. My daughter, my dogs, and I nearly lost our lives to a 13yo boy that I had raised since age 1. After his father reentered his life, the boy was made ward of the state until age 18. Not long after he was out of the foster system, he pushed his 13yo "girlfriend" from a cliff causing brain damage.
@Candycloud_19 check out junk furuta and Kelly Anne bates they're much worse and suffere in unimaginable ways worse than Suzanne capper when I first heard the Kelly Anne Bates case it gave me ptsd lol
It’s cool to hear you mention Salem, Mass. My sister lives in Salem Mass and it is a very cool place full of historical buildings and history. On Halloween they reenact the witch trials and everyone dresses up and walks around the town center and goes into the shops and they set up haunted houses. Very cool experience.
I feel so sorry for Josh. One really silly mistake ruined his whole life 😢 The fact that one silly mistake completely decimated his life makes me sad. His 'crime' wasnt violent and on his part it was victimless (unless you include him!). It makes me angry that pedophiles and rapists often face less consequences than this. He didnt deserve to have his life implode like that over one silly mistake. If the justice system and the world in general showed more grace to people like this and judged crimes on a case by case basis properly i feel like wed have less crime in general. We'd have less people populating the prisons if we stopped locking people up for minor drug charges. If that was the case we could give violent criminals and sexual predators the longer time that they deserve to keep the public safe. It would give the more vulnerable people who dont have many opportunities in life because of their socioeconomic situation more chances to learn from their mistakes and allow them to grow and better themselves instead of just perpetuating the cycle that keeps people down. So much crime could be avoided if the justice system pulled its head out of its backside and punished the real criminals who seriously damage society instead of punishing people for being born into a completely messed up system. Sorry for the rant! It makes me so sad. A lot of the true crime cases i learn about just reinforce how i feel. Murderers who were locked up for sexual crimes and then released early for 'good behaviour' and go on to rape and murder. In my opinion raping someone is almost as bad as murdering someone and the sentencing should reflect that. In most cases rapists are highly dangerous individuals who will reoffend given the chance - they shouldnt be given the chance!! It is so offensive to me to see how often rapists and pedophiles get less time than someone on minor drug charges. Im not saying drug crimes dont destroy lives but the people at the bottom of the chain are often victims too and a lot less dangerous to society if given a second chance. 😢
DV offenders and pedophiles get off so lightly and they ALWAYS do it again! But then you have people that get busted for drugs and they are a felon forever. Shrooms are unfortunately a schedule 1 narcotic, but so is Marijuana, go figure. Yet they have not decimated cities or created zombies and caused more crime like crack, cocaine, meth, heroin, and now fentynyl. Ironically, those are all schedule 2 narcotic, except heroin, but still, mushrooms and marijuana don't tear up the body and mind like the others. You never hear about someone taking shrooms and breaking into homes or businesses to steal to fund their habit. Crazy.
Winston-Salem is my hometown. People were OBSESSED with this case when it happened. I know people who knew people in his circle. It was a legitimately scary time not being sure how they might lash out. I'm interested in the spooky/occult as much as anyone here, but man this was unbelievable and so sad. Thanks for covering this case!
Do you have any idea why he kept getting away with all of his crime? I’ve heard of a lot of people turning the blind eye on others but this takes it to a whole new level. What are the rumours going around? Did he have a judge or prosecutor in his back pocket? His family doesn’t seem to stand out as having influence, and certainly not money. I can only guess that he knows something about someone(s) high up the force/government that would destroy that person(s) and that’s how he had this massive hold on everyone, then when there is a risk of him spilling the beans in court then someone assisted with his ‘suicide’? Coz everything seem too convenient.
@@LiliarthanI’m also from the area and mostly it’s that this guy talked a really big game to the point that you really couldn’t take anything he said at face value. I was very much on the periphery of this happening but I also was like “what a bullshitter” when I was hearing about it.
@lilmissjoodypoody I have theories, but it's hard to substantiate anything other than anecdotes like "He was seriously a creepy dude." But I think the major thing to understanding what could have happened is considering where we're talking about. The corruption out here knows no end, man. Law enforcement, politicians. None of this "oversight" surprises me. I also do theorize he had money from his ventures. Also would not be surprised if he had dirt on someone, either through his followers, as it were, or perhaps he provided substances or other "services" that gave him an upper hand there. Also possible he was providing them information on criminals higher on the food chain. Could also be total negligence. Probably it's some combination of these. Tbh I doubt we'll ever know, but yeah it's sickening. This didn't have to happen at all.
@@kristenscarlett8316 mmm I did wonder if he was a police informant as I’ve seen some horrific cases where informants were given soooo much leniency and got away with basically anything because they ratted out the bigger fish. In the meantime, their victims were treated as nothing more than “necessary collateral damage”. Because it’s rare to hear someone like him being Teflon. Usually cops would find any excuse to lock an outcast away, especially in conservative communities. It must cause law abiding residents a lot of anxiety in that kind of environment. I grew up in a place with insane corruption and I never felt safe. I hope that you will stay safe and that things change for the better soon!
Hey Danielle. I haven’t heard of this case but it’s only about 40 minutes from where I live! Just wanted to say our Judicial system is ridiculous in NC. Thanks for covering !!
This case makes my stomach churn every time I heard it. I remember watching the documentary on this a few years ago and just being completely horrified that a person like this could exist. Truly disturbing and horrifying. Thank you for covering this one!
Once again, I've heard this case several times, but you always hit on details I hadn't heard before. An example is I'd never heard about Sylvia before. This is why even if I've heard stories a few times from others, I still watch your versions. You're awesome! Thank you for all of your hard work and for your empathy. My mom loves you as well. She subscribed to you on her youtube and she's 70 years old! I think that's pretty cool 😀
The city of Winston Salem is actually named after cigarette manufacturers. As always, another awesome video! Every week I look forward to painting my nails while watching Danielle's videos. It's become like my Sunday thing. This is one of my favorite channels!!
Wow. This guy is a textbook example of "fake it till ya make it", am I right? He puts so much effort into making himself seem menacing. I don't know what I'd think if I saw him in real life but I get a sense of the energy of those people he hung out with. When you're an outcast and feel like everyone around you underestimates you and doesn't see your potential. It's a sad feeling but also a very powerful feeling.
No, he did not just seem menacing...he actually was menacing. He was breaking laws, harming himself and others, engaging in risky behaviors. He was a genuinely monstrous person but still a coward, like most serial killers.
This all happened in my hometown of Winston-Salem, NC, and I know a lot of people connected to this story personally! Including one of the guys VICE interviewed in their documentary!! Also, I have to drive by the property where everything went down almost daily! This case rocked our tiny town!!!
Yes so happy you're finally covering this case. "Pazuzu" and his girlfriends and the mom, and THE HOUSE! This is one of the wildest things I've heard where it's like, HOW did we get to this point??
I find Danielle to be so compassionate, lady like, just such a lady. She expresses her self in such a way that others don't. I'm having trouble expressing the point im trying to make lol. I just love the way she tells the story. With such disgust for the perpetrator, yet such compassion if there are any victims, I just love her I guess.
I have heard this story before but you have shown such light on this case. Your story telling ability is unmatched. Thank you for spending so much time on research and developing these videos! I appreciate you!!! Plus, I have been playing hay day for about 10 years. It’s always been my go to. ❤
There was the scariest Reddit story of someone who matched with a goth girl & met her at a party. It ended up being this house and there was a room with garbage and dead animals piled up.
Why was Pazuzu not in a forensic/psychiatric hospital ??? He had Schizophrenia and grande delusions. I also believe that his mother was suffering from a similar mental illness. This time I will put the blame entirely on the healthcare system seriously. He went on probation while was officially diagnosed with SCHIZOPHRENIA and was a drug addict ??? Again this crime is on anyone who was legally involved in this case 😫😫😫
Danielle you're amazing at these true crime stories. You had asked about the name Pazuzu and if this is in fact a demon, in fact he is a demon king of wind...Who knew it's insane to think of how terrible people are I'm grateful that I had such loving wonderful parents and friends in my life that would slap me silly if I thought about any of this nonsense Thanks for another great story love from Baltimore
The Vice documentary on this case is amazingly well done. It has even more info and another perspective which i found to be very thought provoking. Danielle, you did a great job trying to cram it all into a video! This case really got me and I just had to watch the documentary right away.
If you pause and read the sign on the door, he's not saying no actual gang members allowed, he's calling the police a gang. Read it again. He calls them out for stealing natives lands, then setting up a government and making laws. He's saying that they've got no authority there, at his house. (Well, his mom's house)
The first time I heard of this case, it impacted me so much that I had a nightmare that I was at pazuzu’s house and watching them spread animal blood on the wall and letting it dry and peeling it off Even worse, is evidently my boyfriend said I said this in my sleep “they paint the wall with blood and they peel it off” I told him if it was the other way around, I’d be getting a hotel for the night, especially since there was no context for him…poor guy
I love when you apply the moisturizer on your skin. I know it sounds weird but I love watching your hands applying the moisturizer on your face, the circular movements and light touch, it looks like ASMR to me and I’m a big fan of ASMR. Love you Danielle! Love from south of France. 😘
I love you are doing scarier cases for Halloween! This dude looks scary as hell too. And it isn’t surprising he is a cult type leader. Usually the cult type cases are my favorite kind of cases. For case suggestions I’d love to see you cover the Lillelid Murders, Alvin and Judith Neeley, Sterling Koehn, Heather Mack and Rachael Mullenix.
46:30 we did not get a Sassy Danielle warning. there’s even anger blending! *excellent* presentation of this case. i’ve heard it a million times bc it’s fascinating. as always Danielle beautifully humanizes victims and sorry/not sorry- she has the most adorable disgusted faces i’ve ever seen
Danielle you cover some hard subjects with compassion and empathy. Kudos for keeping your heart, some of these cases are just mind boggling how horrible they are.
I've seen this case broadcasted so many times by other "true crime ytubers," but out of the cases covered I felt yours was one of the better researched, because I never knew about the gentleman Joseph being a murdered victim of all of this. I guess this is why I like to cross reference different videos in case there are other info I may have missed. Not to mention it baffled me why this dude always cheated the justice system and it raised many questions than answers to all this. Anyway, always enjoys your channel Danielle!
Danielle, I was wondering if you'd cover the Swedish case of Marcus Norén. It has zero coverage and it's really hard to even find a lot of the details in English, but it's an insane story that should be covered. Marcus was a LARPer who was d*capitated and the authorities initially wanted to blame it on a vampiric cult conspiracy involving roleplay. It's a crazy story.
Hmmm I've never heard of this case! Wow! Sounds crazy! 🤞Hopefully🤞, Danielle will cover it or someone but I might go look it up myself to see. Thanks for the recommendation! Sounds bizarre! Where did you learn of it? & You said the info available isn't available in English? I can't believe a story like that hasn't been picked up more by the media in any form bc of how they love to sensationalize everything they can. **Also, I feel the need to give u a heads up that u MIGHT get semi-rude to VERY rude comments about how LARP stands for Live Action Role Playing, & that calling them a LARP player is repetitive. Hopefully not tho but just as a heads up bc ppl seem to be VERY ruthless in nitpicking lately & trying to fight over nothing in the comment sections! I believe I or somebody made the same "mistake" & were excessively ridiculed for it! Idk 🤷♀️ but I guess you're supposed to call them a LARPer but I could be wrong. Idk much abt it. & Idk why it wld be a huge deal either way. Sorry if this came off as me lecturing bc Im not meaning to! 🤣🤦♀️ Just didn't want u to be caught off guard.
@@Amber-yq9ee yeah i just realized that LOL, i guess i could edit it 😭 but yeah anyway the only way i even know about this case is because someone in the comments on a reddit comment mentioned their friend who was a LARPer in halmstead, sweden was murdered and the authorities botched the case. i had to search hard to even find poor marcus's name because the only mentions of him in english were from an online LARPing forum in 2003. which blew my mind because this is exactly the type of story that would be HUGE in the true crime community
*_Pazuzu is an Assyrian/Babylonian demonic god who was most popular in the first millenium BCE. He was the son of Hanbi (also Hanba), king of the demons of the underworld, and brother to Humbaba, the demon-god protector of the Cedar Forest in The Epic of Gilgamesh who is killed by the heroes._* *_He was the demon of the underworld (where all demons were thought to reside) in control of the west and south-west winds which brought famine during the dry season and, in the rainy season, tearing storms and locusts. As he was the force behind the destructive winds and their threat, he was also considered the best defense against them. Similar in this way to the Egyptian god Set, prayers to Pazuzu were intended to divert his natural inclination toward destruction to the more benevolent ends of protection. Since it was clear he had great power to harm it was thought he was equally potent in protecting one from the very danger he presented._* viA World History
Danielle really reminds me of my best friends from high school, the way she talk, telling stories, facial expressions and all. I love it. I'm so stunt the way my best friend telling her gossip. It sooo much fun.
Absolutely love that you’re covering this case. I haven’t heard anything about him in a long long time. With all the true crime cases going on TH-cam it’s surprising! You’ve set an higher bar for everyone else to follow. This is not a easy case and again I have heard things I wouldn’t have known. So Thank you for diving deeper than anyone else. Glad you’re feeling better! Thank you again for doing such an amazing job!
I suggested this case to her a few months ago but I didn't think she'd actually cover it. I always thought thus was a fascinating case but there's not too much on him aside from a VICE doc years ago
Oh gosh-a case near me 😫 a family member of mine had went to Paz’s house a few times. He said the final straw for him was when they(Paz or a different person at the party) sacrificed some sort of animal. For me personally, it would have been a no as soon as I got to the door and smelled the smell. Let alone Pazuzus vibes. NOPE.
Also wanted to add that he lived in Clemmons during all of this. It’s a small town just outside of Winston Salem. But they definitely have the extremely conservative Christian vibe.
What's so infuriating is that there's TONS of safe, sane, and consensual kink/fetish clubs and establishments these people could've turned to. But they didn't want a place where they could be kinky, they wanted a place where they could be abusive.
Danielle you should make more historical cases! Maybe do a case on Mary Ann Cotton! She was a serial killer in England in the Victorian era who killed her 4 husbands and many of her kids!
I'm dying laughing. I don't mean to laugh, but when you said who would want to poo in the corner in front of everyone, i couldn't stop cracking up laughing. How absolutely disgusting, though. By the way You are my absolute favorite all-time crime youtuber ♥️.
Hello Danielle, i suffer from schizophrenia, dépersonnalisation, agoraphobia and depression. All that happened in just 5 years of time, during my teenage years between 14 and 19 years old. I live in hell for 26 years but i never hurt anyone ,in fact it s the opposite. Everybody despise me exept my mother. I repeat, i m a very nice guy, i even wash myself. I love cats, i don't hate anybody exept myself. I also love metal but i'm not a satanist, i listen it because it gives me a sort of vital energy. I live in Belgium, i'm an invalid so i m not starving. I don't know if my english is good. I have time so i ve learned the language by myself watching tons of american TH-cam videos. I have great difficulties to walk out of my appartement. So i spent my time reading, playing videos games and watching TH-cam. I believe that if i m still alive is because i believe in god. I suffer like hell but i'm telling myself that maybe i will be better one day. I m sorry that this comment is so long but i don't talk a lot so sometimes it had to get out, even if it's in a comment. If someone red this i wish you a better life that the one i have. Love. Bye. Oh if you like astrology, i'm a libra.
Hello Dani, what a case you have brought to us this week! In the beginning of this guy letting other ‘outcast’ people into his home where they felt the most comfortable in their lives, I felt ok and glad that they found that, even though it was drugs etc. Then it just spiralled and omg what the hell. I think this guy prob supplied some police with drugs or paid them off etc. the police were not scared of him I don’t think, they have power on their side. The police were somehow involved with this guy and I think that’s why he was killed on suicide watch to prevent him from talking about what was happening. The police may have been visiting to get sex away from home? Thank you Danielle for the time researching this case, letting us now go off and think about all the Q that go with it. Can’t wait for next weeks spooky video. You are a Brilliant woman, I love watching your videos x🌻🐝
That was my thinking about the police, too. I suspect that somebody from the force hung out at that house, too. It’s very odd that nothing was ever done about the house, that he was given lenient sentences, that the search was so obviously botched.
you would be surprised just how crappy some police forces are in some states. They drop the ball a lot specially in these southern states like North Carolina where this happened. All it takes is one person higher up to make the impression of how things are run within the police force and then all the officers pick up on that mentality like in this case probably just laziness and excuse making let this guy fall through the cracks for so long. Since the police were not doing their jobs, the state most likely couldn't prosecute him. They made it impossible to get charges to stick, so they just plead everything out before the final arrest. @@karenneill9109
@@karenneill9109you would be surprised of how tight lipped they were about his case. We people here in Winston (I've lived here for a few years now I used to longboard past his house otw to my friends or school.) He actually lived in a nice neighborhood. Which is another reason why I think they tried to keep everything under wraps. It's ridiculous how much they have kept quiet about. I'm so glad Danielle covered this case.
I’ve been obsessed with your channel! I found you very recently and I love the way you present these cases 🥹 you seem so empathetic towards all the victims, that’s my favorite thing about you
He just looks like an embarrassing edge lord. Crazy to think how many people suffered grief over this overgrown teenager. Im guessing some authorities kids mightve been involved or filmed in that house etc which is why they might have protected him so much out of fear of it all coming out maybe?
Hands down THE BEST true crime channel, Danielle tells the story with such detail, respect, grace, humor and empathy all at the same time. I am never bored even for one second because she tells the story so well. At the same time pays a lot of respect to the victims.
I can't thank you enough Danielle as I have Covid & I'm not feeling too well right now, the funny thing (to me) is I took a shower right before watching this video, (admittingly after 2 days!) & wow, as lousy as I'm feeling, I'm no Pizouzu! I'm still watching, thanks for making me feel better about myself right now! I love your story-telling & you, you're just a doll 😊
🤣 I was thinking something similar. We have 4 kids & my hubby & now my Dad all under 1 roof! So a household of 7 is a LOT! & 3 of the kids are boys ages 17yo, 13yo, 8yo & a 5yo Daughter. & My 8yo son LOVES bath⌚ & wants to play in the Tub 24\7. My hubby showers pretty much daily for work! The 17yo is EXTREMELY nitpicky abt his hygiene & takes like 2showers a day bc he wants to wash his hair every am b4 school (he like the 13yo & 5yo have VERY very thick curly hair!) & Then he needs a shower when he comes home from school. & The 13yo well... He's not into hygiene & claims he needs hot showers a cpl X's daily bc I keep it "too cold" in the house. I have other ideas abt WHY he wants to be locked in the bathroom in the shower cpl Xs every day at his tender age of 13yo. 🤣 U might know my meaning if you've been around many pre-teen\teen boys!! Or if I've provided enough contextual clues! (Insult the many ribald comments involving Jack or Rosy Palm & her 5 Sisters.) But between them, & the younger 2 kids wanting to just play in the tub a lot & needing baths for school bc they are filthy & I DON'T WANT them to be the subject of the cruel kids who bully others so I try to keep them clean, & then my Dad who likes to be clean, & my husband who works in a 4⭐ resort as the Front Desk Mgr & works closely in right quarters w\others as well as close proximity to guests so he showers DAILY as well to make sure he doesn't stink, leaves me Mom\Wife who atm is a SAHM ¬ working kinda fighting to have ⌚ to bathe as often! & I usually end up going a cpl days between getting a 🛁! Altho, I do utilize another method referred to as a Bird Bath or a Wh*re's Bath! Which is a washcloth & clean water or I use diaper wipes! But... I also dont think NOT getting a shower\bath EVERY single day is a HUGE problem unless you're doing something to get really dirty. Hot days for me tho it's a MUST that I have a way to get clean bc sweat makes me feel all gross!
@Amber-yq9ee WOW, that's a lot of people in one house! I bet there's alot of joy to go with that too! I would be taking many long baths with a wine chaser! LOL

I know I’m a little late, but Pazuzu (from what I’ve gathered) is the son of the god Hanbi (known as the god of evil) in Mesopotamian mythology. He is a demon and also the god of southwestern winds (which brought famine in dry seasons, storms and locusts and wet seasons). Due to him being the reason for so much destruction, many people also recognized him as the greatest defense against the destruction (as he could be the one to stop it). Prayers sent to him were mostly intended to divert him from using his power for destruction, but rather for protection. He is considered an evil demon but is not actually evil incarnate. In fact, he frequently protected from evil and was powerful in protecting women and children from the demon goddess Lamashtu who preyed on unborn and newly-born children. Finding a protector in an equally powerful demon who could stand between the wraths of gods was considered one of the best methods of protection. For this reason, Pazuzu was one of the most popular “protectors”. The term “demon” is actually a translation of the greek word “daimon” which means spirt. the spirits or “demons” can be good or evil. Even “evil” demons (such as Pazuzu) are still capable of good deeds. As for his physical description, his body was similar to those of other Mesopotamian demons but his head in particular was very distinct. You can find his face with a quick google search (the statue, not the one from the exorcist) and find this to be very apparent. In short if you’re like me and too lazy to read, Pazuzu was a demon in Mesopotamian mythology and was capable of creating mass destruction but was also prayed to by many for protection.
We def need a Pizuzu count bcuz you must have said that name at least 20 times. Also, for some reason i almost couldn't watch this whole story bcuz that name is so disturbing. I 💯 agree with you, as usual that if everyone knew he was a drug dealer, there was traffic in and out of his home and he was never given any jail time, there must have been some involvement by the cops.
Thank you Daniel for not only telling us all in great detail every case you bring to us you always give your whole heart and passion while you tell us but most of all you give the victims such such dignity and honour you always make sure we al remember every victim that they were a person and we should never forget them in a good way. You always make sure you that the victims life's are told for who they were not just with words but also in your voice and your eyes. Thank You Daniel for makeing sure we don't forget them and for always putting your whole Heart into giving them a voice and been so kind in your words and for your heart felt ceiling for them it just shows us the kind of person you are for humans and animals you are kind hearted, Loveing, true , and only Feil enthany for every one and animals. this is what made me subscribe to your chanel you aren't just doing your chanel to tell people about evil people I Feil you do it mostly cause you want to make sure no body forgets about the victims that you want people to get to know the victims and never forget them. Again a huge Thank You from the Heart and I'm sure many others will agree with all or most of what I've just said ❤

Omg Hay Day brings back memories! It really satisfied the hoarder tendencies in me 🤣
@@aintnobody666hiiii
Hey Danielle, I was wondering if you could please be more specific with the trigger warnings? Not that many of these cases affected me, but ik it’d be helpful to many of us! 🤍
This case is local to me and I personally went to this house to buy very bad things one time with a friend. To be honest, when I was in deep addiction I never really realized how bad some of my surroundings were. This house was definitely the worst I'd ever been in but an addicts brain does not care about that in the moment. I only cared about my score and never thought about it again until I heard this story on the news years later. Undiagnosed/treated mental health issues often turn into drug addiction and drug addiction + poor mental health can absolutely turn into something this horrific. Its so, so sad.
I'm 6 years sober now and every time i hear this story told my stomach just feels so uneasy at the thought of what I could have become if not for the day I decided to get help for myself.
Congrats on changing your situation! Not an easy feat! xoxox
I'm not an addict myself. But I have loved ones who are and the neighborhood I live in is pretty bad. I was thinking the same thing about untreated mental health leading to addiction etc. I came here to talk about it but you said it perfectly and coming from someone recovered (CONGRATS 🤍) it's more valuable.
Fair play
Good for you for realizing that life is so much more than drugs. Also thank God you were only there once and didn't become part of this sick freak show. Keep up the good work and may you continue on the positive path of life❤
Well done for getting yourself out of that world ❤
I went to school with John or Pazuzu. I knew him as John. He was in my art class. He was bullied and did smell. I was friendly enough with him bc I hate bullies. He had asked me to be his gf but thankfully, I passed. I moved away and found out years later that he turned out like this…. Wow. Scary & truly sad for the victims and animals
omg you dodged a HUGE bullet
Wow that's crazy good thing you avoided him🙏
Wow thank god you did that! Like someone else said you definitely dodged a bullet.
Damn, that is awful. I'm glad you hade the proper mindset and sense to see he wasn't good to get with, whether you liked him or not. It's weird, knowing people who turned out evil or super fucked up.
So curious, what did he smell like? And what was he mainly bullied for?
What makes this case SO SCARY is the fact that SO MANY PEOPLE were involved and went to that house, voluntarily, to fulfill their nasty desires. Knowing that there are so many people that actually like that nasty environment and disturbing activities, must make us meditate about the overall mental health of humanity. And, THAT, is scary.
💯 Sometimes I am overwhelmed with sadness thinking about the depravity some people display. What has gone so wrong in these people that they no longer have any humanity? 😢
I agree. It's so scary how many people are deranged and hedonistic these days! Now, I'm sure that I'm much older than you, but, over the years I have witnessed such a change in the morals of the younger generations...Of course I'm generalizing here. I know my generation had some sick shit going on as well, however, there seems to be such a complacency amongst the youngsters (JK) these days. Now we have school shootings happening every other week and the disrespect is incredible! Ok,enough of my ranting...As for this case I think there was some higher up people in that community that participated in some of those " parties " and that sick dude had something on someone!? I mean why else was he able to get away with so much? Peace too all ❤
That's what happens with addicts. They become like zombies.
@@theduchessofschroon6111I'm 57 and I get what you're meaning. I think some form of these people had always existed but in some lifetimes it becomes more "normalised". Human patterns go in circles of acceptability over decades and centuries. After the decadence it leads back to puritanical and round the round-a-bout it goes again.
Now imagine them as teachers and powerful leaders!
"No gang members, but you can poop in the corner" 😂😂
Hey guys! Local of the area and I HAVE BEEN IN THAT HOME AND HAD A CONVERSATION WITH PAZ. This was 2005, maybe 2006? Before he filed his teeth down he had dreadlocks and the house was a “typical” party house and almost every teenage person from the area would go drink or smoke there. No animal sacrifices or sex parties 😂 I was brought by a friend the first time I went and even back then the house was so filthy, I remember looking at the light switches covered in brown grime and was like oh my god I’m not accepting anything anyone offers me here. And when you went to use the bathroom in house you’d go through his mothers room which was the only clean one in the house, cluttered but clean. Needless to say I did not stay long!
On another occasion I went with an ex boyfriend to pick up a friend from the home. Paz and I had a conversation, he had pet praying mantises and I thought that was kinda cool. He also had pet rats. They did not seem neglected. But he did say some weird shit about maybe giving the rats plague and releasing them? And also taught me about Rasputin. I can’t remember the specifics all I can remember is being like wow I’m not a judge mental person at all but this MF is weird. But still seemed like the type of person who no one took seriously about anything he was saying. I thought he was kind of a joke.
On another note there was a rumor that went around maybe 2007? That he and another acquaintance were doing drugs and had a pact if one of them ODed that they’d cut eachother up and bury each other in the backyard. I guess said acquaintance had passed out and woke up to Paz cutting his leg. Was never confirmed but as a 16-17 year old I know I didn’t take him seriously and thought he did everything just to seem “cool” or whatever.
Holy cow ! That's an amazing story to us true crime junkies. That is wild. I couldn't imagine 😮
Hard not to feel that way back then. I was in high school during those years and Marilyn Manson/ICP were all the rage. It was just, the althernative culture of the time. I'm sure he just looked like a typical loser back then. Not a kid but clearly not a capable adult.
I saw your interview on a doc on youtube. Crazy case
i need danielle merch that says “let that sink in.”

Hi I would just like to say that I used to feel the same, Sundays can feel so long. Then I thought of the saying ‘ every cloud has a silver lining’, this started me thinking “ok where or what is my silver lining?” I turned my Sunday into Sunday is My Day, I can do things today that I always used to want to do, but life took over, I never had time. So I just started with colouring books and some pens, and before I knew it the day past and I was in a calm mood, then I got a jigsaw and Sundays are still My Days and people know not to contact me to do anything, wether I’m out walking or inside crafting it’s my time to exactly what I want. My Silver Lining. I hope you find yours 🌻🐝x
"Not just because Pazuzu was a giant nob" Danielle I'm crying 😭😂

Everytime she just says Pazuzu, I am laughing out loud. What the heck?
@@shethingsd I know he horrible things but I can't take him seriously with the name Pazuzu 😭
Ok, I am trying again. I couldn't last with the Pazuzu. It sounds like the least frightening clown at the circus. I needed to be more serious.

I appreciate your definition of agoraphobia, as someone who was diagnosed with it years ago, because a lot of people just boil it down to "you're afraid to leave the house" and it is so much more than that. Thank you 😊
Oooo me too listening in to see what she says
Ooh...I haven't watched the video yet, I was just browsing through the comments, but now I want to see what she says. I also have agoraphobia and no one understands it. I've even had doctors question it. I tell them my diagnosis and they're like, "Well, you're sitting here in my exam room, so you must not have it." 🤦♀I think people picture us just standing in the open doorway of our house longing for the chance to leave but trapped by our illness. That's not how it works at all. Sure, I've been homebound before. I was homebound for 2 years at one point, but I have a therapist and I've done exposure therapy and I take medication. I'm actually able to live a pretty "normal" life. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and it's been a journey, but just because I can go in public doesn't mean I don't still have it.
I've never actually seen it properly depicted in a film, it's usually a horror trope. Trust me, if there were a crazed killer in my house, I would have NO PROBLEM leaving. I would grab the dog and be the first one out! LOL
@@Kristine_202 EXACTLY OMG 🤣
I just typically prefer to not leave unless I have my husband, oldest daughter or at least my dog with me.
agoraphobia is the fear of fear itself, or a fear of having a panic or anxiety attacks, therefore people suffering from agoraphobia stay where they know they "feel"safe- at home and cant leave without suffering a panic attack.
@richardwallace1405 Some people don't feel comfy at home, so they will have another place they like to stay at. But essentially, you are correct 😊
Thank you for acknowledging the difference between this kind of "satanism" and the church of Satan. I am not involved in either but I am passionate about spreading awareness when it comes to cults, religions, and high control groups. misinformation is so dangerous.
We appreciate Danielle for constantly giving us the best cases on this channel. She's genuinely the best at storytelling hands down.
BEST RESEARCHER!!🎉🎉🎉
Her makeup is also SO GOOD too! She’s a talented woman.
FOREAL ❤
I was literally going to comment the same thing. Danielle is the best and my favorite True Crime TH-camr and I watch them all 😂
I concur.
All that money his mom spent for his 12 pack alcohol cases everyday could’ve been spent on his treatment overtime smh
Dad could have Also stepped in at anytime
Sometimes poor people make the worst decisions for themselves, even worse when there's an untreated mental issue, I know, I've been down that road, it's not PC to have this conversation but it's a harsh truth.
Have you ever looked into a picture and felt the smell just by stating? Yeah...
Thank you for covering this case Danielle!!!!
I know! The horror of that house was hard enough to listen to, then the image! Thank God “smell-a-vision” does not exist!
All I had to do was look at his hair to want to yell “take a bath!”
Yeah I almost smelled the picture. Made me wonder how somebody could live or go to that house. Makes me so happy that I care about how clean my house looks.
I sometimes listen to stories about Pazuzu to clean my house 😅
I’m really struggling with how inept, unprofessional and just sheer bloody lazy the police were in this case and as for someone bleeding out when on suicide watch robbing the families of any kind of justice. This case is so incredibly frustrating and heartbreaking.
Thank you! No one is saying that, too many "mistakes" imho, smells way too fishy
There’s an infuriating theme among many of these stories that involves police incompetence.
I used to skateboard past his house on the way to school still live just a few miles away. It’s crazy when you think someone like this is just down the street from you and now as a father myself it makes you question things way more. Thanks for covering this case!
On the way to WEST???!?! Man I used to longboard right by his house as well. I remember one time being tired and chilling on a little concrete block across from his house without realizing. Now that I think about it it gives me goosebumps.
Did the taje that house down to the ground? Did another home get built? I wouldn’t want to live on that property. Ughhh
I can only imagine the STD's being spread along the yeast infections from hell those women got from sleeping with Pazuzu.
For his mother, I believe she simply did not care as I think, as are my two theories, she had resentment towards his father and chose not to take care of him and not deal with his issues as a result of her own heartbreak and loneliness and slept with a bunch of men. And she let him do whatever he wanted as she probably either didn't want to deal with it or she couldn't control him.
His mother is partially to blame because she didn't want to put in the work to help him in his issues. Despite not being able to afford mental help, just being a mother to a troubled child goes a long way. She did not even bother to give him the tools to help cope. She basically just let him rot mentally to his own devices
I agree. Just showing a child that you love them and that you will always be there for them goes a long way. I think some parents assume that their child understands that they are loved unconditionally. But that isn't the case if your behaviour as a parent says something different.
She was terrified of him
I agree with you about his mother. She is responsible for her child. Period. I do think she had her own serious mental health issues.
@@bethmahadocon1887 Without a doubt. I also think her own issues stemmed from her husband leaving and she created a mess for herself that deeply affected her son.
He needed his father. Every child and youth needs a father. The vast majority of children who never had, or barely had, a father turn out to be degenerates. Thanks for The Great Society Act, LBJ -- may he burn in hell for all of eternity!
Pazuzu is a Sumerian demon, but is misrepresented in The Exorcist. He actually protected people from other demons! So not really a demon in the way we think about it. Funny how he apparently studied witchcraft, but doesn’t understand demonology 😂 Anyway, great video Danielle! I always look forward to your content. You do such an amazing job ❤️
very true!
Witchcraft and demonology are two different things.
People who study witchcraft should probably study demonology. @@shannonstevens2476
His development stopped at 13 years old eventhough he was an adult. His Mom is definitely part of the problem. I've heard this story before but you went into more detail. Thanks for all your hard work.
My heart breaks for the families of the men killed by Pazuzu.
Also how did a convicted felon get probation when he is not supposed to have a gun, do drugs or drink?!? We know he broke those 3 rules!
🤬
Yup, disgusting and wrong how they allowed this man to think he can get away with murder, maybe one of them was ininvolved
I've heard of this be true in other cases. God protect all from evil and please help your child. I understand mother might have been scared of him as he was old enough physically to hurt her.
I love how she matches the make up look to her nails every week !
Great coverage yet again, yeah Pazuzu isn't just from The Exorcist.
"In ancient Mesopotamian religion, Pazuzu (also called Fazuzu or Pazuza) was a personification of the southwestern wind, and held kingship over the lilu wind demons. He was considered as both a destructive and dangerous wind, but also as a repellant to other demons, one who would safeguard the home from their influence. In particular he was protective of pregnant women and mothers, whom he could defend from the machinations of the demoness Lamashtu, his rival. He is invoked in ritual and representations of him are used as defense charms."
I just found this too online
Wow that's a really good explanation, I have been living here in Winston Salem for a few years now, and what's crazy is how people never realized what was truly going on inside that house. His house was actually tore down because of everything that happened in there.
Thanks 😂 too sick to text that all ❤
Yeah, Pazuzu was considered a friend to humans. Archaeologists have found little protective plaques and little doorstops with him on it that were made to scare away evil spirits. There’s this really cute one that shows great artistic skill where he’s peeking over the top of the inscription tablet and making a face while on the backside is carved the rest of his body.
Thank you!. Really infuriating that she thinks this was just from a movie.
Thank you so much for covering this case, Danielle! I’m one of the people who requested you tell this story, and you did it more respectfully and thoroughly than I’ve ever seen it before. This is one of the worst cases I’ve ever heard of, not only because of the individuals involved, but also because of the appalling nature of the police “investigation “. Truly despicable. Again, thank you for covering this case! ❤
I am also one of the people who requested it!
I've been commenting on every one of her videos requesting it for like a month or so.
She did it wonderfully. So respectfully. Encapsulates all of the horrendous things that happened.
Also should out to Matt for doing the right thing.
Really really cool that she listens to fans.
@@feardominiqueare you from Winston Salem?
Yes it's really insane what was going on with the investigations. I swear I have lived in Winston for years and we never heard anything about this until after his death. It seems like they kept everything under lock and key. Weird.
If I could, I’d vote Danielle (you) for best TH-cam True Crime Channel 2023! Thanks for always giving us great content. 🎉🎉
I'm with you. She truly is the best.
There's a great documentary about this story.
WINSTON SALEM NATIVE HERE- I grew up in the city that this freak is from! I lived there for 20 years. So, so, so excited to hear you cover this case. Growing up as a kid people whispered about this guy like he was the boogeyman of suburbia but I never knew any of the details of the case until I grew up and got into true crime. Absolutely crazy - I love my hometown. Winston Salem is a center for art and culture and innovation and pride in NC and so different from what people think the southern US is like. Knowing that he existed and did all these horrible things on the outskirts of my home always sends a shudder down my spine. Truly he’s the opposite of everything we love about our city. The house he lived in was demolished in 2015 when I was in high school- it was deemed unfit for human occupation. Hopefully something new and good- whether it’s a forest or a new home or just a grassy field- can take up residence one day on the ground where it stood.
edit: to be more specific, Pazuzu lived in Clemmons, a small town/suburb of Winston Salem, which is a proper city. Danielle is right when she says that Clemmons is much more religious and old-fashioned than Winston Salem, however we still consider it part of the city as a whole.
I think it would still be very off-putting if another house was built in it's place and I personally would never want to live in a house where so many animals and people were murdered. So much negative energy in one place, I have no doubts it would be haunted 😳 😅
@@CoeurD_Amaris22seriously. some kind of memorial and little forrest would be nice. nature has a powerful way of transmuting negative energy ❤
I've never even heard of this story and I'm from NC too, maybe like an hour or two from Winston Salem. He needed to be in a Mental Institution.
Pazuzu was right about one thing: "It's my parent's fault that I am this way." -from the child's own mouth.
Did he actually say that
Man that gray smokey eye makes your blue eyes pop. This is definitely a look you should do regularly.
'Who would wanna a do a poo in the corner of the room in front of people?'
My two year old, that's who 😅
😂
This made me laugh 😂😂
How is it, that mom can witness a murder. Tell the cops about the murder. Deny entry to her home. Then when they find the people murdered mom doesn't get jail time 🤷🏼🤦🏼
If they wanted entry they would have gotten it. She reported the murder so there was really nothing they could charge her with.
The amount of times you reminded us that he didn’t shower in just the 1st half of the video SENT ME 😅😅😅😅
1. I’ve heard this story a few times, but I had never heard the full back story (and many other things you mentioned). As always, you do an amazing job of making stories that were previously told feel BRAND NEW.
2. When I heard this story before, I felt sorry for his mom, but now I’m like “Hello Ma’am…do you realize you literally created a monster?”….Thanks for setting me straight on THAT 😮😂.
3. I should not have decided to eat while I watched this😫🤣. And what is WRONG with these women??? Did they EVER had any dignity??? I would feel bad for some of them if I wasn’t so DISGUSTED by them…I can see a few people participating in this disgusting madness because once in a while a psychopath and a sociopath team up…but SOOOO many at the same time is frightening! It makes you think that this could be happening in many places and we just don’t know about it…yet.
People! Please teach your kids this is NOT okay! 😢
Maybe they had some serious mentalhealth issues. Like Pazuzu had shizopherenia and used probably stimulants like meth. That combination will make him delusions exponentially worse. Some people live like this every day and cant control their behavior. They will be danger to them self and others. Its sab but true.
🚫 No trespassing and no gang members allowed 🚫 but you can poo in a corner 👍👍
😂😂😂😂 love you Danielle ❤ its great to watch American cases told from an English point of view! I love the small things, like you saying 'wee' instead of 'pee' etc. Its comforting to hear those things - it makes me feel like youre my friend and were sitting talking about true crime 😊 love to see you each week!
The mom could afford alcohol but not treatment 🤔🙄 he may have committed the crimes but I believe it’s the parents fault. Thanks for covering the backstories 💜💜
Right? He couldn't leave his house, but he could in order to sell drugs...hmm. He definitely ruled the house and was entitled
@@laceyfontenot186 exactly!! The whole story is ironic and karma filled 🙌
He's ultimately responsible for his own behavior, as we all are, but his parents/mother in particular has a significant role to play in what happened and helped create the monster he became.
@@meowmachine9147 true. His parents definitely failed him. IMO I think they’re all guilty.
I personally think that the reason his mom never told him “no” is because he had manipulated her into believe that everything bad that happened to him was his mom’s fault and that he is completely innocent. And considering the lifestyle the mom had before Pazuzu became an adult, he would have a fair point. She could’ve laid down the law in the house, set a better example for her son, got him the help that he needed and put his needs first, but she didn’t do any of that. At the end of the day, she cared about herself.
I havent finished the video but i like how danielle gets so invested in telling these stories she sat with unblended concealer under her eyes for a good 5 minutes 😂 you do such great work telling these stories!
Danielle saying, "When Pazuzu was 2 years old...." 😂😂😂 I get using the one name for the whole story, but it's absolutely hilarious-sounding and just wrong at times! I love you, Danielle, you're one of my verrrrrrryyyyyy favorites! Thanks for bringing us some amazing spooky stories, I can't wait to see what you've got planned the next 2 weeks 😍👻🕸☠️🩷
Why are the police such a constant let down
Excellent question! I have a follow-up: do you think the cops would have walked away from a house literally smelling like decomposing bodies if the occupants were black?
Hello i'm from Mississippi (USA) and would love to watch you cover the heart breaking case of Emmit Till please and thank you. Keep up the great work i've followed you for several years now.
You could probably do a whole series on racially motivated killings of that era..
Every bit of this is his mother’s fault. He was doomed at birth because of her. And ironically he will be able to hang out with satan for eternity. What a nightmare. My heart breaks for all of the animals that died at this demons hands
I feel you! I agree the mother was at fault but it is also important to remember that Pazuzu (I probably spelled that wrong...don't care) is also at fault. People can be mentally ill and not act like that. He was an evil monster, who chose to be that way. No excuses for him or his mom. They were both bad.
@@psychokittyletsplayandmore8589 exactly. Makes you wonder too how far back you can go in a family to see neglect and abuse. I wonder what her childhood was like
No, he became an adult, he was a grown man responsible for himself, MANY people are abused, and they don’t all turn out like him
There are many people who grow up in very very bad situations and don't turn out like this. At some point you have to grow up and become an adult and overcome the situation. People grow up much worse. She did put him in therapy I just think she didn't know how to handle the situation. Yes she did some messed up stuff but come on
Just please remember that sometimes therapy and proper medications isn't enough. Some people can have the most loving of homes, proper therapy, medications, involved guardianship... And it's not enough. My daughter, my dogs, and I nearly lost our lives to a 13yo boy that I had raised since age 1. After his father reentered his life, the boy was made ward of the state until age 18. Not long after he was out of the foster system, he pushed his 13yo "girlfriend" from a cliff causing brain damage.
I'm still upset about the girl who was tortured by the Chucky song. She haunts me. My heart hurts for her still.
That gave me nightmares it was so horrifying
I’ll never forget that story ever!
I wanna know the story! Know where I can find it?
@@melindasaurus13It's the story of Suzanne Capper.
Truly horrifying.
@Candycloud_19 check out junk furuta and Kelly Anne bates they're much worse and suffere in unimaginable ways worse than Suzanne capper when I first heard the Kelly Anne Bates case it gave me ptsd lol
Obsessed with evil.. he looks as twisted externally as he is internally.. sometimes, you CAN judge a book by its cover..
It’s cool to hear you mention Salem, Mass. My sister lives in Salem Mass and it is a very cool place full of historical buildings and history. On Halloween they reenact the witch trials and everyone dresses up and walks around the town center and goes into the shops and they set up haunted houses. Very cool experience.
I feel so sorry for Josh. One really silly mistake ruined his whole life 😢
The fact that one silly mistake completely decimated his life makes me sad. His 'crime' wasnt violent and on his part it was victimless (unless you include him!). It makes me angry that pedophiles and rapists often face less consequences than this. He didnt deserve to have his life implode like that over one silly mistake. If the justice system and the world in general showed more grace to people like this and judged crimes on a case by case basis properly i feel like wed have less crime in general. We'd have less people populating the prisons if we stopped locking people up for minor drug charges. If that was the case we could give violent criminals and sexual predators the longer time that they deserve to keep the public safe. It would give the more vulnerable people who dont have many opportunities in life because of their socioeconomic situation more chances to learn from their mistakes and allow them to grow and better themselves instead of just perpetuating the cycle that keeps people down. So much crime could be avoided if the justice system pulled its head out of its backside and punished the real criminals who seriously damage society instead of punishing people for being born into a completely messed up system.
Sorry for the rant! It makes me so sad. A lot of the true crime cases i learn about just reinforce how i feel. Murderers who were locked up for sexual crimes and then released early for 'good behaviour' and go on to rape and murder. In my opinion raping someone is almost as bad as murdering someone and the sentencing should reflect that. In most cases rapists are highly dangerous individuals who will reoffend given the chance - they shouldnt be given the chance!! It is so offensive to me to see how often rapists and pedophiles get less time than someone on minor drug charges. Im not saying drug crimes dont destroy lives but the people at the bottom of the chain are often victims too and a lot less dangerous to society if given a second chance.
😢
DV offenders and pedophiles get off so lightly and they ALWAYS do it again! But then you have people that get busted for drugs and they are a felon forever. Shrooms are unfortunately a schedule 1 narcotic, but so is Marijuana, go figure. Yet they have not decimated cities or created zombies and caused more crime like crack, cocaine, meth, heroin, and now fentynyl. Ironically, those are all schedule 2 narcotic, except heroin, but still, mushrooms and marijuana don't tear up the body and mind like the others. You never hear about someone taking shrooms and breaking into homes or businesses to steal to fund their habit. Crazy.
💯
Winston-Salem is my hometown. People were OBSESSED with this case when it happened. I know people who knew people in his circle. It was a legitimately scary time not being sure how they might lash out. I'm interested in the spooky/occult as much as anyone here, but man this was unbelievable and so sad. Thanks for covering this case!
Do you have any idea why he kept getting away with all of his crime? I’ve heard of a lot of people turning the blind eye on others but this takes it to a whole new level. What are the rumours going around? Did he have a judge or prosecutor in his back pocket? His family doesn’t seem to stand out as having influence, and certainly not money. I can only guess that he knows something about someone(s) high up the force/government that would destroy that person(s) and that’s how he had this massive hold on everyone, then when there is a risk of him spilling the beans in court then someone assisted with his ‘suicide’? Coz everything seem too convenient.
Also, how can anyone walk past that house, let alone go inside, without vomiting? And to have sex with him… omg 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
@@LiliarthanI’m also from the area and mostly it’s that this guy talked a really big game to the point that you really couldn’t take anything he said at face value. I was very much on the periphery of this happening but I also was like “what a bullshitter” when I was hearing about it.
@lilmissjoodypoody I have theories, but it's hard to substantiate anything other than anecdotes like "He was seriously a creepy dude." But I think the major thing to understanding what could have happened is considering where we're talking about. The corruption out here knows no end, man. Law enforcement, politicians. None of this "oversight" surprises me. I also do theorize he had money from his ventures. Also would not be surprised if he had dirt on someone, either through his followers, as it were, or perhaps he provided substances or other "services" that gave him an upper hand there. Also possible he was providing them information on criminals higher on the food chain. Could also be total negligence. Probably it's some combination of these.
Tbh I doubt we'll ever know, but yeah it's sickening. This didn't have to happen at all.
@@kristenscarlett8316 mmm I did wonder if he was a police informant as I’ve seen some horrific cases where informants were given soooo much leniency and got away with basically anything because they ratted out the bigger fish. In the meantime, their victims were treated as nothing more than “necessary collateral damage”. Because it’s rare to hear someone like him being Teflon. Usually cops would find any excuse to lock an outcast away, especially in conservative communities.
It must cause law abiding residents a lot of anxiety in that kind of environment. I grew up in a place with insane corruption and I never felt safe. I hope that you will stay safe and that things change for the better soon!
Hey Danielle. I haven’t heard of this case but it’s only about 40 minutes from where I live! Just wanted to say our Judicial system is ridiculous in NC. Thanks for covering !!
This case makes my stomach churn every time I heard it. I remember watching the documentary on this a few years ago and just being completely horrified that a person like this could exist. Truly disturbing and horrifying. Thank you for covering this one!
Once again, I've heard this case several times, but you always hit on details I hadn't heard before. An example is I'd never heard about Sylvia before. This is why even if I've heard stories a few times from others, I still watch your versions. You're awesome! Thank you for all of your hard work and for your empathy. My mom loves you as well. She subscribed to you on her youtube and she's 70 years old! I think that's pretty cool 😀
The city of Winston Salem is actually named after cigarette manufacturers. As always, another awesome video! Every week I look forward to painting my nails while watching Danielle's videos. It's become like my Sunday thing. This is one of my favorite channels!!
Oh wow, I know the brands you're talking about. Learn something new every day lol
Every single time I see her videos, I do a little dancey dance. Her voice is like a hot mug of coco in front of a fire on a cold winter’s morning 😭
Wow. This guy is a textbook example of "fake it till ya make it", am I right? He puts so much effort into making himself seem menacing. I don't know what I'd think if I saw him in real life but I get a sense of the energy of those people he hung out with. When you're an outcast and feel like everyone around you underestimates you and doesn't see your potential. It's a sad feeling but also a very powerful feeling.
No, he did not just seem menacing...he actually was menacing. He was breaking laws, harming himself and others, engaging in risky behaviors. He was a genuinely monstrous person but still a coward, like most serial killers.
@@psychokittyletsplayandmore8589 That's true and a good point! But wow he did try to exaggerate himself at the same time.
I feel bad but I laughed so loud at “turd boy” 💩 😂
Same here, I didn't mean to laugh, but I couldn't help it
This all happened in my hometown of Winston-Salem, NC, and I know a lot of people connected to this story personally! Including one of the guys VICE interviewed in their documentary!! Also, I have to drive by the property where everything went down almost daily!
This case rocked our tiny town!!!
Hey, do you have any specific details or stories about the case? I'm obsessed with this case
Yes so happy you're finally covering this case. "Pazuzu" and his girlfriends and the mom, and THE HOUSE! This is one of the wildest things I've heard where it's like, HOW did we get to this point??
I find Danielle to be so compassionate, lady like, just such a lady. She expresses her self in such a way that others don't. I'm having trouble expressing the point im trying to make lol. I just love the way she tells the story. With such disgust for the perpetrator, yet such compassion if there are any victims, I just love her I guess.
If only Pazuzu's eye makeup look was as restrained and classy as yours!
I have heard this story before but you have shown such light on this case. Your story telling ability is unmatched. Thank you for spending so much time on research and developing these videos! I appreciate you!!!
Plus, I have been playing hay day for about 10 years. It’s always been my go to. ❤
Are you ok, Danielle? Did TH-cam take that last video down or did you? Was halfway through and wondered what happened.
Same, was halfway through it and it went private :/
same!
Same here, the video just stopped on me, midway and I was checking my internet and stuff in case we had another outage.
THANK YOU for all you do Danielle. Your compassion and thoughtful nature ALWAYS shine through🙏🏾
There was the scariest Reddit story of someone who matched with a goth girl & met her at a party. It ended up being this house and there was a room with garbage and dead animals piled up.
Ooof.
As a goth girl who loves dead things, I'll pass..
Wow that's insane. I never knew that and I've actually been living right down the street from where his house used to be. Thanks for the info!
@@thevrifiedlosryou love dead things?…
Why was Pazuzu not in a forensic/psychiatric hospital ??? He had Schizophrenia and grande delusions. I also believe that his mother was suffering from a similar mental illness. This time I will put the blame entirely on the healthcare system seriously. He went on probation while was officially diagnosed with SCHIZOPHRENIA and was a drug addict ???
Again this crime is on anyone who was legally involved in this case
😫😫😫
Danielle you're amazing at these true crime stories. You had asked about the name Pazuzu and if this is in fact a demon, in fact he is a demon king of wind...Who knew
it's insane to think of how terrible people are I'm grateful that I had such loving wonderful parents and friends in my life that would slap me silly if I thought about any of this nonsense
Thanks for another great story love from Baltimore
The Vice documentary on this case is amazingly well done. It has even more info and another perspective which i found to be very thought provoking. Danielle, you did a great job trying to cram it all into a video! This case really got me and I just had to watch the documentary right away.
How can his Mother let people poo on her carpet 💩 🤢🤮
Warning sign: “NO TRESPASSING AND NO G*NG MEMBERS”
Pazuzu: “ But you can poop inside 😃”
😂❤
Poozuzu
If you pause and read the sign on the door, he's not saying no actual gang members allowed, he's calling the police a gang. Read it again. He calls them out for stealing natives lands, then setting up a government and making laws. He's saying that they've got no authority there, at his house. (Well, his mom's house)
The first time I heard of this case, it impacted me so much that I had a nightmare that I was at pazuzu’s house and watching them spread animal blood on the wall and letting it dry and peeling it off
Even worse, is evidently my boyfriend said I said this in my sleep “they paint the wall with blood and they peel it off” I told him if it was the other way around, I’d be getting a hotel for the night, especially since there was no context for him…poor guy
😳
I mean, I did the same searching Dahner pics... To me this is childs play
If I knew someone was sacrificing animals like this, they would not be doing it for long. His mother fails.
I love when you apply the moisturizer on your skin. I know it sounds weird but I love watching your hands applying the moisturizer on your face, the circular movements and light touch, it looks like ASMR to me and I’m a big fan of ASMR. Love you Danielle! Love from south of France. 😘
Danielle you are getting so close to 1M subscribers!! Very proud of you girl 💕
I love you are doing scarier cases for Halloween! This dude looks scary as hell too. And it isn’t surprising he is a cult type leader. Usually the cult type cases are my favorite kind of cases.
For case suggestions I’d love to see you cover the Lillelid Murders, Alvin and Judith Neeley, Sterling Koehn, Heather Mack and Rachael Mullenix.
Yes. Please look into these 🙏
@@melanieleon2095 yeah all these cases are so under covered and I think these cases would be interesting to her.
I live in the same town that Pazuzu lived in. He was a terrifying man and smelled horrendous. I drive by the plot his house was on daily.
@@Kraken_Kisses doesn’t surprise me at all. I mean he showered only once a year and never cared to clean his house.
trigger warning for sterling koehn in case anyone looks it up, EXTREME child abuse/neglect, very disturbing and upsetting
46:30 we did not get a Sassy Danielle warning. there’s even anger blending!
*excellent* presentation of this case. i’ve heard it a million times bc it’s fascinating. as always Danielle beautifully humanizes victims and sorry/not sorry- she has the most adorable disgusted faces i’ve ever seen
Dude looks like Lord Voldermort in the picture of him in the green turban.
Danielle you cover some hard subjects with compassion and empathy. Kudos for keeping your heart, some of these cases are just mind boggling how horrible they are.
I've seen this case broadcasted so many times by other "true crime ytubers," but out of the cases covered I felt yours was one of the better researched, because I never knew about the gentleman Joseph being a murdered victim of all of this. I guess this is why I like to cross reference different videos in case there are other info I may have missed. Not to mention it baffled me why this dude always cheated the justice system and it raised many questions than answers to all this. Anyway, always enjoys your channel Danielle!
Danielle, I was wondering if you'd cover the Swedish case of Marcus Norén. It has zero coverage and it's really hard to even find a lot of the details in English, but it's an insane story that should be covered. Marcus was a LARPer who was d*capitated and the authorities initially wanted to blame it on a vampiric cult conspiracy involving roleplay. It's a crazy story.
Hmmm I've never heard of this case! Wow! Sounds crazy! 🤞Hopefully🤞, Danielle will cover it or someone but I might go look it up myself to see. Thanks for the recommendation! Sounds bizarre! Where did you learn of it? & You said the info available isn't available in English? I can't believe a story like that hasn't been picked up more by the media in any form bc of how they love to sensationalize everything they can.
**Also, I feel the need to give u a heads up that u MIGHT get semi-rude to VERY rude comments about how LARP stands for Live Action Role Playing, & that calling them a LARP player is repetitive. Hopefully not tho but just as a heads up bc ppl seem to be VERY ruthless in nitpicking lately & trying to fight over nothing in the comment sections! I believe I or somebody made the same "mistake" & were excessively ridiculed for it! Idk 🤷♀️ but I guess you're supposed to call them a LARPer but I could be wrong. Idk much abt it. & Idk why it wld be a huge deal either way. Sorry if this came off as me lecturing bc Im not meaning to! 🤣🤦♀️ Just didn't want u to be caught off guard.
@@Amber-yq9ee yeah i just realized that LOL, i guess i could edit it 😭 but yeah anyway the only way i even know about this case is because someone in the comments on a reddit comment mentioned their friend who was a LARPer in halmstead, sweden was murdered and the authorities botched the case. i had to search hard to even find poor marcus's name because the only mentions of him in english were from an online LARPing forum in 2003. which blew my mind because this is exactly the type of story that would be HUGE in the true crime community
I'm Swedish and might be able to translate documents if I can find some.
I’m from Sweden, I’ve never heard of this case. I’m definitely gonna look into it! Thank you
*_Pazuzu is an Assyrian/Babylonian demonic god who was most popular in the first millenium BCE. He was the son of Hanbi (also Hanba), king of the demons of the underworld, and brother to Humbaba, the demon-god protector of the Cedar Forest in The Epic of Gilgamesh who is killed by the heroes._*
*_He was the demon of the underworld (where all demons were thought to reside) in control of the west and south-west winds which brought famine during the dry season and, in the rainy season, tearing storms and locusts. As he was the force behind the destructive winds and their threat, he was also considered the best defense against them. Similar in this way to the Egyptian god Set, prayers to Pazuzu were intended to divert his natural inclination toward destruction to the more benevolent ends of protection. Since it was clear he had great power to harm it was thought he was equally potent in protecting one from the very danger he presented._*
viA World History
Thank you for the background information
This eyeshadow looks AMAZING with the colour of your eyes!! 😍
Danielle really reminds me of my best friends from high school, the way she talk, telling stories, facial expressions and all. I love it. I'm so stunt the way my best friend telling her gossip. It sooo much fun.
I mean she tell her gossip exactly line this 51:08 with facial expressions and hand gestures
Absolutely love that you’re covering this case. I haven’t heard anything about him in a long long time. With all the true crime cases going on TH-cam it’s surprising! You’ve set an higher bar for everyone else to follow. This is not a easy case and again I have heard things I wouldn’t have known. So Thank you for diving deeper than anyone else. Glad you’re feeling better! Thank you again for doing such an amazing job!
I agree. I've heard about this case before in the past but not this many details. Very cool to hear Danielle's version.
I suggested this case to her a few months ago but I didn't think she'd actually cover it. I always thought thus was a fascinating case but there's not too much on him aside from a VICE doc years ago
Bailey Sarian covered this case several years ago.
Oh gosh-a case near me 😫 a family member of mine had went to Paz’s house a few times. He said the final straw for him was when they(Paz or a different person at the party) sacrificed some sort of animal. For me personally, it would have been a no as soon as I got to the door and smelled the smell. Let alone Pazuzus vibes. NOPE.
Also wanted to add that he lived in Clemmons during all of this. It’s a small town just outside of Winston Salem. But they definitely have the extremely conservative Christian vibe.
What's so infuriating is that there's TONS of safe, sane, and consensual kink/fetish clubs and establishments these people could've turned to.
But they didn't want a place where they could be kinky, they wanted a place where they could be abusive.
These people went there for drugs. As you said, kinky places are all around. Safe and sane stays away from dirty and disfunctional.
Danielle you should make more historical cases! Maybe do a case on Mary Ann Cotton! She was a serial killer in England in the Victorian era who killed her 4 husbands and many of her kids!
I'm dying laughing. I don't mean to laugh, but when you said who would want to poo in the corner in front of everyone, i couldn't stop cracking up laughing. How absolutely disgusting, though. By the way You are my absolute favorite all-time crime youtuber ♥️.
Hello Danielle, i suffer from schizophrenia, dépersonnalisation, agoraphobia and depression. All that happened in just 5 years of time, during my teenage years between 14 and 19 years old. I live in hell for 26 years but i never hurt anyone ,in fact it s the opposite. Everybody despise me exept my mother. I repeat, i m a very nice guy, i even wash myself. I love cats, i don't hate anybody exept myself. I also love metal but i'm not a satanist, i listen it because it gives me a sort of vital energy. I live in Belgium, i'm an invalid so i m not starving. I don't know if my english is good. I have time so i ve learned the language by myself watching tons of american TH-cam videos. I have great difficulties to walk out of my appartement. So i spent my time reading, playing videos games and watching TH-cam. I believe that if i m still alive is because i believe in god. I suffer like hell but i'm telling myself that maybe i will be better one day. I m sorry that this comment is so long but i don't talk a lot so sometimes it had to get out, even if it's in a comment. If someone red this i wish you a better life that the one i have. Love. Bye. Oh if you like astrology, i'm a libra.
I agree with this sentiment. People with these disorders are not violent. Congratulations on living a good life and living with these conditions!
You keep putting in the work ok? You're doing awesome and you're trying. That's the hardest part.
Hello Dani, what a case you have brought to us this week! In the beginning of this guy letting other ‘outcast’ people into his home where they felt the most comfortable in their lives, I felt ok and glad that they found that, even though it was drugs etc. Then it just spiralled and omg what the hell. I think this guy prob supplied some police with drugs or paid them off etc. the police were not scared of him I don’t think, they have power on their side. The police were somehow involved with this guy and I think that’s why he was killed on suicide watch to prevent him from talking about what was happening. The police may have been visiting to get sex away from home?
Thank you Danielle for the time researching this case, letting us now go off and think about all the Q that go with it. Can’t wait for next weeks spooky video. You are a Brilliant woman, I love watching your videos x🌻🐝
That was my thinking about the police, too. I suspect that somebody from the force hung out at that house, too. It’s very odd that nothing was ever done about the house, that he was given lenient sentences, that the search was so obviously botched.
you would be surprised just how crappy some police forces are in some states. They drop the ball a lot specially in these southern states like North Carolina where this happened. All it takes is one person higher up to make the impression of how things are run within the police force and then all the officers pick up on that mentality like in this case probably just laziness and excuse making let this guy fall through the cracks for so long. Since the police were not doing their jobs, the state most likely couldn't prosecute him. They made it impossible to get charges to stick, so they just plead everything out before the final arrest. @@karenneill9109
@@TheLiana1102 It’s just that level of incompetence? Wow.
@@karenneill9109you would be surprised of how tight lipped they were about his case. We people here in Winston (I've lived here for a few years now I used to longboard past his house otw to my friends or school.) He actually lived in a nice neighborhood. Which is another reason why I think they tried to keep everything under wraps. It's ridiculous how much they have kept quiet about. I'm so glad Danielle covered this case.
I’ve been obsessed with your channel! I found you very recently and I love the way you present these cases 🥹 you seem so empathetic towards all the victims, that’s my favorite thing about you
He just looks like an embarrassing edge lord. Crazy to think how many people suffered grief over this overgrown teenager. Im guessing some authorities kids mightve been involved or filmed in that house etc which is why they might have protected him so much out of fear of it all coming out maybe?
Hands down THE BEST true crime channel, Danielle tells the story with such detail, respect, grace, humor and empathy all at the same time. I am never bored even for one second because she tells the story so well. At the same time pays a lot of respect to the victims.
I can't thank you enough Danielle as I have Covid & I'm not feeling too well right now, the funny thing (to me) is I took a shower right before watching this video, (admittingly after 2 days!) & wow, as lousy as I'm feeling, I'm no Pizouzu! I'm still watching, thanks for making me feel better about myself right now! I love your story-telling & you, you're just a doll 😊
🤣 I was thinking something similar. We have 4 kids & my hubby & now my Dad all under 1 roof! So a household of 7 is a LOT! & 3 of the kids are boys ages 17yo, 13yo, 8yo & a 5yo Daughter. & My 8yo son LOVES bath⌚ & wants to play in the Tub 24\7. My hubby showers pretty much daily for work! The 17yo is EXTREMELY nitpicky abt his hygiene & takes like 2showers a day bc he wants to wash his hair every am b4 school (he like the 13yo & 5yo have VERY very thick curly hair!) & Then he needs a shower when he comes home from school. & The 13yo well... He's not into hygiene & claims he needs hot showers a cpl X's daily bc I keep it "too cold" in the house. I have other ideas abt WHY he wants to be locked in the bathroom in the shower cpl Xs every day at his tender age of 13yo. 🤣 U might know my meaning if you've been around many pre-teen\teen boys!! Or if I've provided enough contextual clues! (Insult the many ribald comments involving Jack or Rosy Palm & her 5 Sisters.) But between them, & the younger 2 kids wanting to just play in the tub a lot & needing baths for school bc they are filthy & I DON'T WANT them to be the subject of the cruel kids who bully others so I try to keep them clean, & then my Dad who likes to be clean, & my husband who works in a 4⭐ resort as the Front Desk Mgr & works closely in right quarters w\others as well as close proximity to guests so he showers DAILY as well to make sure he doesn't stink, leaves me Mom\Wife who atm is a SAHM ¬ working kinda fighting to have ⌚ to bathe as often! & I usually end up going a cpl days between getting a 🛁! Altho, I do utilize another method referred to as a Bird Bath or a Wh*re's Bath! Which is a washcloth & clean water or I use diaper wipes! But... I also dont think NOT getting a shower\bath EVERY single day is a HUGE problem unless you're doing something to get really dirty. Hot days for me tho it's a MUST that I have a way to get clean bc sweat makes me feel all gross!
@Amber-yq9ee WOW, that's a lot of people in one house! I bet there's alot of joy to go with that too! I would be taking many long baths with a wine chaser! LOL
Hope you get better soon!!🙏🤒

I know I’m a little late, but Pazuzu (from what I’ve gathered) is the son of the god Hanbi (known as the god of evil) in Mesopotamian mythology. He is a demon and also the god of southwestern winds (which brought famine in dry seasons, storms and locusts and wet seasons). Due to him being the reason for so much destruction, many people also recognized him as the greatest defense against the destruction (as he could be the one to stop it). Prayers sent to him were mostly intended to divert him from using his power for destruction, but rather for protection. He is considered an evil demon but is not actually evil incarnate. In fact, he frequently protected from evil and was powerful in protecting women and children from the demon goddess Lamashtu who preyed on unborn and newly-born children. Finding a protector in an equally powerful demon who could stand between the wraths of gods was considered one of the best methods of protection. For this reason, Pazuzu was one of the most popular “protectors”.
The term “demon” is actually a translation of the greek word “daimon” which means spirt. the spirits or “demons” can be good or evil. Even “evil” demons (such as Pazuzu) are still capable of good deeds.
As for his physical description, his body was similar to those of other Mesopotamian demons but his head in particular was very distinct. You can find his face with a quick google search (the statue, not the one from the exorcist) and find this to be very apparent.
In short if you’re like me and too lazy to read, Pazuzu was a demon in Mesopotamian mythology and was capable of creating mass destruction but was also prayed to by many for protection.
you really do tell these crimes in the best way possible! never stop please
I watched the doco... This is one of the most fucked up cases ever.
We def need a Pizuzu count bcuz you must have said that name at least 20 times. Also, for some reason i almost couldn't watch this whole story bcuz that name is so disturbing. I 💯 agree with you, as usual that if everyone knew he was a drug dealer, there was traffic in and out of his home and he was never given any jail time, there must have been some involvement by the cops.
I couldn't watch it last week after just seeing the intro 😂 i came back tonight and try it again. And 20 times was just the intro 🎉
Hey Danielle! What happened to the video of Antoley? Was half way through and it just disappeared? X
