“Hmm we need a company name… I got it! How about we leave a huge hint towards the extremely illegal activity we’re doing?” Why tf would human traffickers be leaving breadcrumbs just think for half a second
Sooooo I live in Grand Rapids, been here all my life, in this neighborhood.... walking distance from that place.... I can't remember Isaac's last name That restaurant was owned by old man Isaac... but he had a son, also named Isaac who was actually a spoiled rich kid who had been selling weed/ripping kids off in the neighborhood over a summer, and he ended up shooting and killing a very close childhood friend named Kenny, and when he was charged, his family spent a truckload of money on his defense attorney, saying that Kenny was trying to rob him, and that's why he shot him. Issac Jr. was found not guilty, but the combination of this situation, the 2008 financial crisis, and the "cloud of speculation" from the neighborhood really sealed it for this place... Long story short, that chicken is 🔥 and the Kool-aid is perfect!
Humaniks sounds more like a couple selling shady food supplements out of their house than a publicly registered human trafficking ring. They probably wanted to get their own store front, but realized the cost to repair the building was higher than they could afford and killed the project.
Posting a real address in a major city on /x/ of all places and making all this sht up is literally insane to me. Even if op was baiting they still made a more interesting thread than 99% of other posters.
About 00:03:52 - the change of angle produced different shadows. It's entirely plausible the "leg" is something immobile inside, which, when viewed from a different angle would obscure the shadow's existence. The light on the floor changes from photo #1 to photo #2, which is why I suggest this.
I saw the title and was like “oh it’s probably Rosie’s Diner isn’t it?” Fun fact, my grandpa has a light up sign from that restaurant that he’s had for years
This address can currently be google searched as an ethnic Chicken restaurant. I read through WAY too much of the archived threads on this place to find this out
People intend to open businesses all the time that never go anywhere because they run out of capital. This is a bit creepy, but if anyone _was_ in there, it's possible they were squatters or just stupid kids who broke in to do some shit, then beat a retreat when they realized they might get caught.
Clicked bc I was born and raised in GR, stayed for the great editing and narration! I lived half a dozen blocks away for a brief period as a kid in 2005ish… This area is really homey and full of families but very working class (it’s no Ada, Michigan lmao). I 100% believe this was squatters or kids messing around at night IF “this” was anything… I know crimes can happen anywhere, but this seems like a weird choice for a massive criminal campaign lmao
I grew up not far from the diner. I think I only went in there once as a kid. Even when it closed I never heard anything strange about the building. There have been plenty of empty buildings in Grand Rapids and some of them creepier than this.
Anything that comes from 4chan can safely, and automatically, be assumed to be fake, especially if it originates from the /x/ board. A bored 4channer was walking by an old, abandoned diner and decided to pull a creepy story out of his ass. It's really that simple. Still, I like how you investigated the purchase and ownership history of the building. I like thorough investigative stuff like that. You earned a subscriber!
For a large portion of content on there, sure. But you’re forgetting there’s NUMEROUS instances of real posts containing really morbid/fucked up shit. Like that dude who had a body in his freezer, or the dude who tried to flush a grenade down the toilet (which exploded and killed him). I don’t remember if the former was confirmed, but the latter was confirmed to be true.
Yeah, I instantly felt like the guy writing the post didn't try to make it subtle or seem in any way real, Black SUVs "Full of Kids" like really? Literally everyone would notice that if it was real that's the most blatantly obvious shit ever
@NoobOfShame or the few posts where people have claimed to murder someone and it ended being true, like the one post where he says he killed a woman and her son will come home from school soon and call police
Not really. There are numerous documented cases of crazy posts like this involving murder & other things that turned out to be 100% legit. You sound like someone who eats crayons for breakfast.
Hi, just wanted to let you know that this video was wonderfully made, nothing less than an excellent mystery video , your heavily pushed back by the algorithm
I've driven past there in recent years, sometimes during the dark. One night, around the end of January I saw a bright light next to it. I couldn't make out what it was to start with, so pulled over my car and stopped at the kerb on the opposite side of the road just down from it. I turned off the engine and got out, pulled up my collar and made my way across the road and into the parking lot. All the time keeping my eye on the light. It seemed duller the closer I got, but as I climed over the cordon fence and stood there, a slight breeze, hand in pocket. I realised what it was. . . . . . a street lamp.
I grew up, and still live one block from what is now Rikas chicken. Me and my siblings played with water balloons, rode bikes n skateboards, sold lemonade, ect in that parking lot everyday from 2003 - roughly 2015. At the time our family dog was very reactive so we’d walk him around that block each night. I can assure you, child trafficking was absolutely not an occurrence. It was occasionally broken into. Sometimes looted for copper, sometimes squared in. That’s the most nefarious thing that ever went on in there.
Why would someone running an illegal business make a pun referencing the crime they're committing. That sounds absurdly dumb for them to do that, but I will admit kinda funny in a weird way.
Original owners son murdered someone (wasn't his nature from what I remember) and it was down hill from there. It used to have the best & affordable breakfast food.
I wanted to thank you for the content! Your voice narration is on point and editing style is coming along. I hope you build some momentum and grow, especially because some of your videos are criminally underwatched. Fuckin' love me some /x/ stories and lesser known paranormal events
This place is getting turned into a Mexican place now, a re-locating of a local favorite that shut down due to landlord issues a few months ago. Funny that this video is popping into my feed now.
Honestly it's probably an mlm thing. Maybe they were into beach body or whatever and were going to turn it into one of those "nutrition clubs" they were into a while back. The black SUVs with all the kids were probably just their downline.
Humanicks lol. If it isn't a film company, the person that bought this building has WAY too much time & money on their hands. On a serious note though, I nearly clicked straight off this video when you started the mystery off with a 4Chan post. I'd recommend definitely not drawing attention to that in future if you want to keep people baited for long enough to watch an ad -- but beyond that, I'll give it a like, just because it's pretty well made.
Why is TH-cam programming their bots to denigrate 4chan when we all know it’s a free platform and TH-cam are basically known Neo fascists when it comes to reply banning
1:22 makes me feel siddenly sick fwiw idk why well idk if I wanna know.. but., fwiw yeah idk the suspect of what is occurred there feels.., undesirable.
This is an absolute nothingburger, there's something wrong with your mic's audio recording (listen to it closely, it could be whatever post-processing you do on your audio that caused it), but your editing and graphics are really good. Try to pick things that actually have meat to them, because there's absolutely nothing about this story that means anything but "someone posted some stuff to 4chan and people made up scary stories about it." That's fine on its own, but the way you present it here is a little bit unrealistic.
Nah, I used varispeed stretching to slow down my voiceover bc I thought it was too fast. It created a few distortions that others pointed out too so not gonna do that in my vids going forward.

The Wyoming Incident 😱
Yes, currently watching from there lol!
“Hmm we need a company name… I got it! How about we leave a huge hint towards the extremely illegal activity we’re doing?” Why tf would human traffickers be leaving breadcrumbs just think for half a second
The guy associated with the place has lot to do with the medical field /security according to his Linkdn his name is Ray Tabaczka
"not an illegal drug business LLC"
Literally the same vibe as rentahitman
For the lulz, obviously
This channel is insanely underrated.
Sooooo I live in Grand Rapids, been here all my life, in this neighborhood.... walking distance from that place....
I can't remember Isaac's last name
That restaurant was owned by old man Isaac... but he had a son, also named Isaac who was actually a spoiled rich kid who had been selling weed/ripping kids off in the neighborhood over a summer, and he ended up shooting and killing a very close childhood friend named Kenny, and when he was charged, his family spent a truckload of money on his defense attorney, saying that Kenny was trying to rob him, and that's why he shot him.

I ate chicken from there a couple weeks ago

Waht about the kid though?
It sounds like a shitty staffing service to me. One of those companies with absolutely terrible HR.

I used to live in this neighborhood in the early 2000s. I remember walking past this diner.
I had to walk past this every morning on my way to school in 2011-2013
I felt pretty safe walking by it but it was also open at like 5am
I saw the title and was like “oh it’s probably Rosie’s Diner isn’t it?” Fun fact, my grandpa has a light up sign from that restaurant that he’s had for years
I thought the exact same or Russ's
This address can currently be google searched as an ethnic Chicken restaurant. I read through WAY too much of the archived threads on this place to find this out
That’s what it is now. Not sure why that was so hard to find.
Commenting for the engagement. Im from Grand Rapids. My nephew and I are gonna come by the new resturant mentioned and check it out.

Why were they reching for help then?
Clicked bc I was born and raised in GR, stayed for the great editing and narration! I lived half a dozen blocks away for a brief period as a kid in 2005ish… This area is really homey and full of families but very working class (it’s no Ada, Michigan lmao). I 100% believe this was squatters or kids messing around at night IF “this” was anything… I know crimes can happen anywhere, but this seems like a weird choice for a massive criminal campaign lmao
Wow, absolutely what I searched for. Please continue!
So you're saying there's a small building in Grand Rapids that someone on 4chan took pictures of?
This place is a block away from my best friend's house and is now a chicken shop. This is INSANE, I had no idea about this!
Great video, very well made. I clicked cause i live in Grand Rapids and was curious, looking forward to more content!
7:51 the guys name is Ray Tabaczka
8:14 by Wyoming i believe they mean the city of Wyoming, Michigan, not the state
Yes, you are correct! Another person pointed it out too. It definitely tricked me
glad i found this video- pretty interesting, keep it up!
Yo, you earned my sub. What high quality content, especially for a new channel!

Yeah anything true posted on 4chan nowadays gets deleted by jannies. Didn’t used to be like that but definitely is now
Not really. There are numerous documented cases of crazy posts like this involving murder & other things that turned out to be 100% legit. You sound like someone who eats crayons for breakfast.
“Really creative” the whole story boils down to a 4channer going “trust me dudes there’s kids in the basement of this building”
As a Grand Rapids resident I'm happy that some people are looking into the creepy shit around here lol
Same
This was really interesting just subbed!
Sent here from the new video. Good stuff, bro. Subbed up. Cheers.
really well edited!

wyoming is a state but also a sub-burb of grand rapids

I agree, it’s like something out of a B movie 😂
How are you only at 978 subs? This is good content!
Working my way up, chief. Support like yours keeps me going ✊
The chicken place didn’t move form the state of Wyoming. They moved from the town of Wyoming on the Southwest side of Grand Rapids
The idea that a front for a human trafficking racket would use a mish-mash of the words "human" "trafficks" is fucking comical.
Original owners son murdered someone (wasn't his nature from what I remember) and it was down hill from there. It used to have the best & affordable breakfast food.
Everything they made was greasy as all get out. The scrambled eggs would drip dirty brown grease. Food was awful.

Live close maybe I’ll check it out sometime
Awesome content
Great video, wish I could watch more :)
Great video, love the edits. Keep pushing out quality content. Alogorithm brought me here💪
good video man
The thing with the kids and handprints could very easily be explained by the owners just you know, having kids
HUMANIKS sounds like some black magick done on humans!
This place is getting turned into a Mexican place now, a re-locating of a local favorite that shut down due to landlord issues a few months ago. Funny that this video is popping into my feed now.

I live I'm GR and can go there.
Hahahahahhaha omg as a grand rapids resident, this is actually funny😂😂 it's just fckn unhoused people squatting dude
chat i live like less then an hour away
Yes Wyoming is a fucking stupid name for the city. We know it sound wierd when we say we're from there.
It fooled me but now I know 😂
Well i love mysteries and i love diners
In Gr born an raised never heard of this
Humanicks lol. If it isn't a film company, the person that bought this building has WAY too much time & money on their hands.

They got some good chicken
I think we all need to go outside and touch some grass
On it! ⛳️👈
Funny lmaooo, rip issac
i'm you're 200th sub, what do i get? lol jk
1:22 makes me feel siddenly sick fwiw idk why well idk if I wanna know.. but., fwiw yeah idk the suspect of what is occurred there feels.., undesirable.
This story is clearly, obviously fake as shit😊😊
This is an absolute nothingburger, there's something wrong with your mic's audio recording (listen to it closely, it could be whatever post-processing you do on your audio that caused it), but your editing and graphics are really good. Try to pick things that actually have meat to them, because there's absolutely nothing about this story that means anything but "someone posted some stuff to 4chan and people made up scary stories about it." That's fine on its own, but the way you present it here is a little bit unrealistic.
What a waste of 11 minutes and 22 seconds
Well aren’t you a ray of sunshine
*What a waste of 42 keystrokes.*
*PS- **_Is that what the ladies tell you?_*
🤦🏻♂️a lot of nothing
Thanks for wasting my time!
My pleasure 🐔
This is an AI created video guys. Listen closely.
Nah, I used varispeed stretching to slow down my voiceover bc I thought it was too fast. It created a few distortions that others pointed out too so not gonna do that in my vids going forward.
@@PodRockerdesperately trying to drag this crap out to 10 minutes
shorten your intro from 10 seconds to 3/4 seconds. it's annoying and repetitive as it is atm, makes me want to check out.
Womp womp womppppp
2/10 no gooning break in the video
Disliked video without watching it for putting massive attention-begging arrow in thumbnail
Dang How'd I miss that?
That's lovely dear. You gonna cry about it now?
