    The story about Custard brought tears to my eyes. They said it happened 25 years ago, but I don’t think I would have ever recovered from that either. A bit unrelated but the story reminds me of the ‘trophy hunter’ that intentionally killed the infamous ‘06 wolf in Yellowstone that caused a huge outcry. You can google her story. She was truly legendary. She was one of the greatest, most beloved alpha female wolves to ever live. The hunters name was never made public because people understandably wanted him harmed or locked up. Just like I highly doubt a skilled hunter would mistake a horse for a deer, there is no way a skilled hunter would mistake a wolf as a deer or a dog. It was intentional, and he got away with it. There needs to be more laws that protect Wolves, and protect peoples pets.

      Which is exactly why they should release his name (that Yellowstone twat), same as they do anyone else who commits a crime. The fact that he faced no charges is a hideous commentary on our society. He's no true hunter. He's just an asshole with a gun. I hope someone scarier than him hunts him down one day.
      Hey serial killers out there!! If you're having trouble finding your "type," why not try irresponsible hunters? It may be just the challenge you're looking for while also doing some actual good in the world.
      On that note, someone who shoots a horse out from underneath a child intentionally qualifies. Why are we so easy on these types of people?? I'm a pacifist...until I see someone terrorizing someone (or something) vulnerable. If there's a right time for violence this would be it. Hunters don't cause terror if they're any good.

      It really doesn't sound accidental at all. If they have a clear enough shot to nail Custard in the face, they _know_ what they're looking at. A pony doesn't look anything like a deer.

      @morianner ปีที่แล้ว +55

      Yes, and if I've understood it correctly, the girl was riding the pony - how the hell they didn't notice a girl on top of a "deer"?

      It shouldn't, it's a horse and it's been 25 years. Ask any rancher, she was rightfully furious, but tips into overreaction, let alone still hanging on like that.

    Thomas Silverstein deserved more complete isolation than he got, way more. And my heart broke when Custard passed away. That was absolutely soul crushing. An innocent soul, snuffed out, in the blink of an eye.

    21:32 This is a common fallacy. People don't always travel downhill when lost. If there is an air search, some people will hike to higher elevations where the tree cover is less dense, and the distance between them and the helicopters/planes is less, increasing the chance they will be spotted by SAR.

      It definitely helps w most unbearable and wretched smells but not even Vicks slathered inside a mask can prevent the unforgettable putrid stench of long untreated infections and the literal dead, decaying tissues. Way more common than one would believe here in a "1st world" country where everyone is entitled medical care regardless of insurance status or inability to pay.

    The Salcombe murder is honestly horrific, I feel so much for that jogger. The story is actually horrific:
    _Alternative therapist Jemma Mitchell hit 67-year-old devout Christian Mee Kuen Chong over the head with a weapon at her London home and left her decapitated and badly decomposed body in woods in Salcombe_
    _The prosecution claimed 38-year-old Mitchell had planned to murder the vulnerable divorcee and fake her will to inherit the bulk of her estate worth more than £700,000. She came up with the plan after Ms Chong, who was known as Deborah, backed out of giving her £200,000 to pay for repairs to Mitchell’s £4 million dilapidated family home_
    _Jemma Mitchell, a trained osteopath, boasted online of her award-winning skill in human dissection_
    Like actually horrific, but she was found guilty in October 2022. She was first woman in the UK to be sentenced live on television and only the second person to be sentenced live on television in UK history, so that’s… something. She’s been sentenced to a minimum of 34 years, at time of sentencing she was 38, so she won’t be out of prison before the age of 72, but that is the MINIMUM sentencing as she’s likely to be imprisoned indefinitely as she has shown no remorse, so most likely to leave prison in a box.

And if I remember correctly he had reasons to kill the two inmates. He’s doing fairly well now. Apparently had a lot of contact through letters with a nephew I believe. I feel bad for him really. I wish he had more time to handle some of the guys that went after children and women😢🤷🏻‍♀️

    The story about Custer the horse reminds me of a one time when my family was hiking on a well-known trail about 15 years ago. It was my sister and me, my dad and stepmom, and my sister and I wanted to walk further ahead, which was no problem since we'd hiked this one before. My sister was wearing a brightly colored tank top, so this is the only reasoning I can think of for what happened, but all of a sudden my sister and I heard this loud chittering noise and my sister screamed in pain. Her arm had a small hole with blood streaming down. We were both freaking out and our parents were too far back to know what was going on. A few seconds later 2 men came from around the corner of the trail and were surprised to see us. They said they were "shooting at birds" and that they thought my sister was a bird. They said sorry and got out of there pretty quick, probably not wanting to get in trouble for shooting a little girl. Fucking cowards. When our stepmom saw my sister bleeding, she was PISSED and tried to chase down the men but they were long gone.

    The one about the drugged out psychotic aunt reminds me of something my dad said during a visit we were on.
    He told me he believed drugs like meth or psychedelics can open you up to evil beings that want to do you harm. He believes this because of how my mom behaved and the nightmares we all had living with her.
    It gave me chills listening to it all because my mom did so many disturbing things (nowhere near as disturbing as this of course) when I lived with her claiming it was to cleanse the house or to cleanse me and my family. One thing was burning sage in my room and not airing it out, knowing full well that it burned in my lungs (I'm an asthmatic) and she often thought it was funny to see us fighting each other or getting hurt.
    Regardless of if you believe in demons or the supernatural, drugs can make the nicest people into monsters,

    The story of the psychosis-affected aunt is, to me, one of the few genuinely disturbing stories I've listened to. I listen to a lot things like this, hours upon hours of stories but most of them are things in the background that I just kinda have playing, tune a couple out too because they just don't do anything to cause me to focus on it. Stories like that one though just make me squirm while I listen to the details. I'm not done with the video while I'm writing this so ik there are probably some other ones that might have the same affect but if that wasn't painful to listen to idk what would be.

      Well, if you can’t prove it in court then you can’t charge someone with any crime. There are two sides to the story. It was most likely a hunting accident, hunting accidents do happen. Sometimes people get shot.
      The fact that the person telling the story says “they don’t deserve 2nd amendment rights” is nonsense and that’s not how it works in this country. The federal government actually has no power or authority to strip citizens of their God given rights. Let us instead ban alcohol sales and alcohol consumption as it leads to far more deaths and violence than guns do.

      The decapitated body found in the woods is definitely real, so I’m honestly happy hearing at least one real story
      _Alternative therapist Jemma Mitchell hit 67-year-old devout Christian Mee Kuen Chong over the head with a weapon at her London home and left her decapitated and badly decomposed body in woods in Salcombe_
      _The prosecution claimed 38-year-old Mitchell had planned to murder the vulnerable divorcee and fake her will to inherit the bulk of her estate worth more than £700,000. She came up with the plan after Ms Chong, who was known as Deborah, backed out of giving her £200,000 to pay for repairs to Mitchell’s £4 million dilapidated family home_
      _Jemma Mitchell, a trained osteopath, boasted online of her award-winning skill in human dissection_
      Like what an actually horrific case, but she was found guilty in October 2022. She was first woman in the UK to be sentenced live on television and only the second person to be sentenced live on television in UK history, so that’s… something. She’s been sentenced to a minimum of 34 years, at time of sentencing she was 38, so she won’t be out of prison before the age of 72, but that is the MINIMUM sentencing as she’s likely to be imprisoned indefinitely as she has shown no remorse, so most likely to leave prison in a box.

    I liked touring Romania but some of it was down right scary. Would be on one street, having it all lit up, then turn the corner and it would be super medieval dark with people hiding in closed buildings and apartment building alcoves. Visited Transylvania and Wallachia to sight see Vlad the Impaler's buildings, battle areas, and other Dracula related things. Some of the stuff up in the Carpathian Mountains was pretty creepy. Even went monk's convent so a female (that I was trying to date) could light a candle for someone who wasn't with her any more. But there was something wrong with the monks. There was an air of something wrong and that violence could happen at any moment. They stared at the females with us and stood very close to us. Almost like they were thinking about grabbing one of the girls and running away with one. We would be talking and as naturally as we could walk and stand between them as a physical barrier. Later in another town we heard that the worst of the the monks ended up there due to little interaction with the public (not many visitors, and the ones that are, are usually men) and that many of them have major problems with their chastity vows but also have sexually assaulted others from men to women to children. But in a country that goes from 1sr world to 3rd world the Orthodox Church was more able to hide problem monks away before the government/police are told or get wind of said monk.

    The hunters were either definitely too irresponsible/stupid to have guns or were aiming for the horse on purpose. Responsible hunting means you know what may lay in front of your target (ie a riding trail) and also that you know exactly what you are shooting at. Even in thick brush, I would not take a shot at anything unless I was sure it was a deer, and typically you aim for a specific area on the body where you will hit the lungs or heart for a quick and painless kill. You don't aim for the head. I also would never shoot at a deer that was running, because there is too much of a chance of missing or hitting the wrong area of the deer. Even missing can be bad because a bullet can travel for miles, and has the chance of hitting someone or something you don't want it to. And shooting a deer in the wrong place can cause the deer to either never be found/tracked, suffer, or ruin the meat. Good hunters never want prey to suffer, get away with an injury, or ruin the meat. So they basically broke every best practice and safety rule that there is.

    The story about the hunters killing the pony Custard pissed me off so much.

    I was drifting in and out of sleep while listening to this. I woke up in the middle of the Thomas Silverstein story but only heard his last name mentioned. I kept waiting for the moment that Silverstein finally turned his life around and became a beloved writer of children's books.

    The second-to-last story hit home - literally, as I grew up in the High Desert (Victorville, not too far from Twenty-Nine Palms, where my Tío Lupe still lives to this day). So many things happened out there over the years...
