Previous video in the series - th-cam.com/video/tQmh2FVF-r8/w-d-xo.html Hey everyone! Thank you all so much for watching, and have a great weekend! ALSO, a huge thank you to the person who recommended the final story. It has been on my list since you recommended it shortly after I started this channel (I don't have your name, sorry)!
Hey, is it possible to add the link to the subreddit in the description? I stumbled across this channel recently and loving the content, the narration and the choice of background music! I've been binge watching since.
The bear didn't even seem like a real, mortal animal by the end. Instead it seemed like one of the legends of an evil spirit taking on the form of a wild beast. I can't imagine how terrifying it must have seemed to the poor villagers.
the indigenous Ainu people of that very region revered those bears as the most powerful of all the gods, who took animal form when entering our world. Even their word for "bear" was just "god." With a story like this, it's easy to see their logic.
@@hia5235 tbh I would have gone full berserk/barbaric mode, bring a massive hunting party, and murder no slaughter every bear and cub we can find, then spike them up around the outskirts of the village. Hung dead Bear carcasses, set on fire 🔛🔥 to shore the rest "keep f*cking around and find out"
This is EXACTLY why predators that kill humans are hunted down. With VERY few exceptions like Nile crocodiles, animals don't see humans as food. Once a predator learns that humans can be eaten, they're going to keep doing it. Any wild predator that kills/eats a human must, I repeat *MUST* be killed. Because they WILL do it again. Around 1900~, there was a plague in India and a ton of people died. Bodies were left for scavengers. A lot of big cats in the area scavenged the corpses and learned humans are edible. Then they started hunting live ones. Because even just scavenging corpses can make them learn humans = food. *Thousands* died. One tiger, known as the Champawat Tiger, killed 436 people. To this day it holds the record for most human fatalities by an animal. It, and the other maneating big cats, were eventually hunted and killed by famed hunter Jim Corbett. Everytime a bear or cougar or something kills someone, they hunt it down and people bitch and moan. "It's just being an animal" "It doesn't deserve to die" "That's not fair" It doesn't matter what's fair or who deserves what. It's a public safety issue. "Getting a taste for human" sounds like something out of a bad horror movie but it is very, VERY real.
I lived in Hokkaido for four years and saw a couple of bears from a distance. I was told this story for the first time on either my second or third day, but I heard it many times after that as well. It's very well known and often repeated around the prefecture, and people do not take any chances with bear sightings- as soon as one was spotted, there were notices in the newspaper, signs up at all the schools, parks, and public buildings, and my boss called me to warn me to look outside carefully before going out to my car when there was a sighting near town.
I live in the Appalachians, an area kinda known for "North Carolina Belly-Draggers" a local tendency of the brown bears to be just that big... Many DO practically drag their bellies on the ground... It's no big wonder that I'm NEVER EVER out alone without some means of self defense, and usually more than one. It's not a regular thing to find sign (like scat and tracks) near the house, but it happens from time to time... I don't go out of my way to track anything down without intentions of eating the son of a b*tch, but I don't plan on being someone else's dinner either.... Mr. Bear's gonna figure out REAL QUICK that this ain't no healthy place for a bear... if I have anything to say about it. haha... I don't blame your neighbors in Hokkaido for their attitudes about it. ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 that's why I don't mind hiking in the Cascades or Olympics, I'm never alone. Bears don't usually like dogs and avoid them, and I'm always out with a German Shepard, a rottweiler, and a mutt.
@@arthas640 Meh... My experience is pretty much that bears don't much like being around people... If you have to say "No, Bear" more than twice, you're better off with a gun than a dog... Preferably something capable of putting down the bear instantly or crippling it relatively easily... SO think 12g 000, though I frequently work with Tokarev, since the penetration is damn decent (hits like a cannon) for a .30 cal-ish midsize handgun. Animals are the one point where I make the "warning shot" exception. NONE of them like that loud sharp sound... BUT even as a warning, I shoot something specifically, like a tree, fence-post, etc... Even with the shotgun, it's best to KNOW where the projectiles go rather than "randomly rain" them down just wherever. ;o)
It is believes that human deforestation forced the bears and humans closer together, and that local hunting had also made the bears' natural food sources more scarce. Unfortunately, most people did not understand the consequences of such actions back then.
@@crazydud3380 You don't seem to understand the context of where this was and are trying to apply your own rubric when it doesn't apply.. The far reaches of Hokkaido don't even remotely have deforestation, it is really dense and wild forest covering most of the area. While there was obviously hunting, it wasn't very able to influence the overall ecosystem..
@@Tinil0 Yeah, you have a point there. Thanks. Most likely the bear woke up early from a failed hibernation. Bears become terrifying when that happens (thankfully it is pretty rare). Luckily, there are better systems in place now for dealing with something like that (or at least we have better guns now).
@@crazydud3380 Fuck bears. I shoot them on sight. We had a truly massive black bear that was repeatedly killing our chickens at night back in early March this year and one morning I saw it heading toward the pens and put a .308 round from my AR-10 right into its upper chest as I called out to it and it quickly whipped its body in my direction. Amazingly even after such a critical shot it still managed to run some 100 yards across the field and into the treeline of our property, but I have no doubt in my mind that it died soon after because we never saw it again. Bears are not welcome here, EVER.
That was a legit what NOT to do in that situation, haha. SAR operator in Colorado, and I might use this to tell people exactly the wrong things to do in a bear encounter, haha
Sinkholes are the stuff of nightmares. I now live in an area prone to them and every time a new saggy spot appears in one of the streets on my commute, I think of this story 😬
The parking lot of my nearby grocery store has a little hole a foot wide and two feet deep in the concrete. All I can think of is "one day that's gonna open up into something much bigger".
The bear story is tragedy after tragedy, I thought it would be over when the guards went after the bear but as soon as you said "They ran in the direction they THOUGHT they saw the bear run. Leaving the woman and children even more vulnerable." I literally said 'FUCK' like three times. I knew what was coming and its so messed up.
@@jimmydeewilliams6489 also who tf said anything about christ man that aint got nothing to do w this wtf are you on whatever youre advertising i dont want it so pls keep it to yourself
I wouldn’t say it was messed up. I was on the side of the bear. I like it when nature triumphs over man. Side note, this would make a really cool horror movie.
the smaller weight of the bear might have had something to do with how aggressive it was. bears usually gain weight before the winter for hibernation, so this bear might have been unable to gain enough weight in due time and therefore it was desperate for food.
In my opinion the most terrifying thing about the Bear attack story was the fact that the man returned home and thought everything was fine. Just imagine being on your way home thinking of what you might have for dinner and spending time with your family, and then you get home and walk in thinking everything's fine, then he picks up his child and has the slow realization of what has occurred. That had to have been truly scary and almost like a nightmare
I think for him it was a nightmare. He lost his wife and child in a single day due to that bear. It mist have been devastating for him and for all the others that lost their wives, husbands and children. Really terrifying.
I've heard of those Hokkaido bear attacks before. It's exactly why bears are the animal I fear the most. I don't understand why more people aren't scared of them. They too powerful to fight, too fast to outrun, and are completely unpredictable. The scariest part is that when they hunt you, they won't kill you first, they just get straight to eating you.
if they're hungry, like this bear was (it hadn't hibernated) than it will eat you alive. OF COURSE, I would add. It doesn't take a phd to understand that.
You forgot to add that they can swim faster than me and climb trees better than me. And their strong sense of smell mean by the time i see a bear, it's been aware of me from km away. They just need to learn to fly then they can take over the world
Bears can apparently socialize to humans in large groups, for the most part. There are certain areas where there's practically never bear attacks, even with a lot of human-bear contact. Yosemite National Park is such an area, where black bear attacks practically never happen (though they can go for your food). I've seen various videos of brown bears in Alaska getting close to people while not attacking. In many areas you wouldn't want to get close to them, though.
Right? A bear that was already having difficulty foraging or hunting in the wild and was raiding farms, now injured. We call those garbage bears here, because they're used to coming into inhabited areas to find food.
Yeah.... NO. Upon injury, whatever might've drawn the bear's attention to humans in the first place is coupled to "DESPERATION" as hunger sets in AND it's weakened from the injury. That's only going to make him slower and more painful... Bears can smell that you've got food from MILES away... AND to a hungry bear that's struggling for an injury, an easy meal is just too good to pass up, damn the pink hairless monkeys and their useless sticks. ;o)
I was living in Tampa when the sinkhole happened. My second cousin lived two blocks away from this house. A few weeks after the house was demolished, I saw the property. Very sad and eerie to see this. What an awful way to go.
I couldn't help but to chuckle at the end of the Frank Lloyd Wright story with the guy trying to commit suicide by drinking hydrochloric acid. He likely didn't know it, but that's basically what stomach acid is. You can even buy HCl pills to use as an aid for digestion, and it can take quite a lot just to trigger mild heartburn. I pretty much guessed his outcome before the story got to it.
@@orange5591 it may in the mouth, but I doubt that would be life threatening if drinking and swallowing. When you get acid reflux, the soreness in your throat is essentially that chemical burn (which is often due to weak stomach acid, not having too much). But you can get HCL supplements in 600+mg pills and I've taken up to 4 at once with no side effects. People with really weak acid may need even more, but that's something to discuss between you and your care provider. Being in pill form does prevent it from burning your mouth and throat. The way it was explained to me by a nutritional therapist is you increase the dose over time until you just start to feel a mild warmth, similar to heartburn. The purpose is to not only increase digestion, but also to signal the opening at the top of your stomach to close. That's why weak acid can cause heartburn, and taking heartburn meds can be counterproductive. You think it's from the acid being too strong, so you weaken the already weakened acid, starting a downward spiral that leads to more heartburn and worse digestion.
While it's true that it is naturally in the stomach, it's not in a concentrated form as on bottle but in a very diluted form thanks to a simultanous secretion of sodium bicarbonate, buffering the acid. In concentrated form, however, it is one of the most corrosive acids in existence. From Wikipedia: _"Being a strong acid, hydrochloric acid is corrosive to living tissue and to many materials, but not to rubber. Typically, rubber protective gloves and related protective gear are used when handling concentrated solutions.[8]"_
Inhaling the vapors from fuming concentrated HCl is absolutely strong enough to cause severe damage.... stomach acid is low pH but is by no means the same as pure HCl
Having a brother only 17 months younger and also being extremely close, I could not imagine anything worse than that first story. It pains me to hear that his brother was left there. No amount of law enforcement or reasoning would pull me out of that hole away from my brother. With absolutely zero regard for my own wellbeing, I simply would. Not. Stop.
With Frank Lloyd Wright how do you not mention that Frank personally built coffins for his wife and 2 children and then buried them all by hand? That's one of the most cathartic and also intense emotionally things I can imagine doing
@@Volundur9567 was the killer black? If so that's news to me but the guy was insane with an extremely over blown ego and sense of self importance. Plus I doubt the 12 year old boy and 8 year old girl treated anyone like a slave
@@theducksanctuary951 wright was born 1867. He died late 1950s. His really famous houses are 1920s art deco. But he was building houses in 1800s up to the 50s
I think the bear attack incident terrified me the most. I remember being young and living in the mountains and hearing wolfs and having specific dogs and whistles to scare away the wolfs. Horryfing.
I watched a National Geographic episode and they claimed bear had been systematically hunted from like 2-3 million (don’t quote me on that) down to around 50 000. Thank god for that.
@@chairmanm7686 Bro you serious right now? You just genuinely said "Nature scary so we should willingly & voluntarily extinct all the scary species" Sickening....
@@CatMan-zg3cd no I did not. I personally see no benefit or purpose to having a huge wolf population. That’s my opinion and you certainly do not have to agree but don’t lie and say I am of the opinion that all predators must be extinct. That would obviously fuck up the ecosystem a great deal.
@@chairmanm7686 And what's great in that? Humans do what the bear did to other species constantly, yet no one is systematically hunting down humans yet. Unfortunately.
I live in Pennsylvania. I've been to a couple of the houses Frank Loyd Wright built. But NEVER, had I heard of this! Thank you so much for bringing it to my attention!
Bears are freaky. I grew up in a rural area, and my dad built a compost bin for our garden out of steel rebar. Just a week or two after we'd started using it, my dad woke up to go to work and saw that the bin had been smashed open, and in one spot the rebar was completely twisted over and folded in half. You'd think that a grid of steel rebar would keep a bear out, but nope. The same bear smashed through my neighbor's garage door a week or so after that to get to their garbage. My neighbor saw it a few times and tried to scare it off by firing blanks at it, but this bear just turned and looked at him. It hung out in our area for like a month, then my neigbbor- who had young kids at the time- decided he'd had enough of constantly being on edge and killed it (even though that was technically illegal). That was a scary time, I'm glad my neighbor took matters into his own hands and got rid of it.
This is my absolute favorite series on youtube. I look forward to every single upload. You're seriously skilled at storytelling. Thank you so much for all you do for us morbidly curious viewers :)
I don't think the bear story from Japan could happen today. Rogue bears, wild boar, and other potentially dangerous wild animals are handled by the Japan Hunters Association. As the rural population in Japan shrinks, and especially given the reduced human activity during the pandemic, incursions of problematic wildlife into rural Japanese towns and smaller cities has become quite common. These hunters are usually older local men who have lived and hunted in the area all their lives. They know the land like the back of their hands, and they are crack shots who have top-tier hunting and camping gear. They're extremely good at what they do. I've seen them in action on Japanese news programs many times. Japan doesn't have animal control officers, and local police usually defer to the hunters, who typically are better shots and know more about wildlife than they do. Once the hunters get on the track of an animal, they invariably trap it or kill it within a day or two. There's no way that a bear like the one in this story would be able to repeatedly attack a village in Japan today. The hunters would track it down and shoot it dead during or after its first attack. More likely, they would become aware of it beforehand by spotting its tracks around the area, and help relocate it to a less-populated area if it seemed especially large or threatening to humans.
Didn't you exactly told why it might happen again ? Only old hunters and rural population shrinking means that at some point there won't be any experienced hunter left and if their rank is replenished, like in the rest of japan there will be far less because of the population aging
@@manuxx3543 lol hunting isn’t some secret art that’s been passed down through generations. Think of these people as park rangers, they’ve TRAINED to do what they do and they’ll continue hiring and training officers as long as it’s necessary. They just aren’t a state run agency, they’re more of a local militia.
@@BunnyQueen97 idk man i've seen a few places fall in total disrepair because people change their ways/jobs or only older people stay and the younger one that moves in are disconnected from the land Even if it's in a country with a good youth/old ratio, and even with relatively common knowledge Thing not being either state run or organized by some greater thing means it can just disappear slowly depending on the younger generation interest and jobs (an Japan having a big aging population just boost the problem)
I live 45 minutes away from Tampa and about 15 years ago, we had one of our largest lakes form a sinkhole and it drained the entire lake, including boats and homes on the shore (without people in them). It took several years for it to fill back in. I can’t wait to get out of here 😳 (also, ironically, Frank Lloyd Wright designed a lot of the buildings related to the colleges in my city)
Whoa that bear story was chilling and played out like a horror movie. Can't begin to imagine how frightened everyone was in that village. The bear almost seemed supernatural.
I discovered this channel the other night and fell in love with it! I was wondering if you also have a Spotify account because I would love to listen to these stories while im driving to and fro work and not just during my downtime
I make note of the subscriber number whenever I catch a new video. I first found the channel...20K? I've never seen it climb so fast. Every time I turn around it's in a new bracket. Goes to show how much people love true scary stories and smooth production.
This entire video was particularly terrifying. The story about the sinkhole affected me the most because it can happen at anytime without warning. I’m very sorry for the man who lost his brother.
I live in the central Florida area. All of Florida sits on a maze of limestone caverns filled with water. The water typically helps maintain the limestone structures. However, in some places like Pasco county, they pump too much water from certain areas of the aquifer. When this happens, insufficient water exists to bolster the limestone. Thus, sinkholes occur. While there are a larger number of sinkholes in Florida. But they predominate in certain specific areas of Florida. Compare sinkhole occurrences in, for example, Pasco county, versus Pinellas county.
i heard about the hokkaido bear attack before. i can't recall if that was the case here, but when you said that the bear wasn't as big as some can get it got me thinking, bcos a number of maneaters start hunting for humans when they are too weak and/or ill to hunt for another prey - that's the case with a lot of maneating tigers for example. i wonder if that was the case here. still, the whole sequence was a stuff of nightmare, those poor people. no wonder that the survivors didn't want to live in that village anymore
I absolutely love Sean's videos. He does such a great job of narrating the stories he finds and acquiring fresh content. Stories are always so fascinating. One thing I've noticed though is that Sean talks very fast. For anyone who struggles with atypical neurodivergence (sp?), I'd suggest slowing down the playback speed. Dialing it back to .75 works good for me. You could slow it down further if suitable for you. That being said, this guy has a kick-ass channel!!
It’s 5:30am and I have a bout of insomnia. Your videos always humble me in the best way. In an odd twist, it calms me to know I’m in a safer place than my mind believes.
I wish I knew the words to express how much I LOVE your style of story telling! Yes, your stories are ALWAYS informative and interesting and the topper of it all is your voice! 🤗 It's so mesmerizing and soothing 😌. I feel very lucky to have found your wonderful site. Thank you!! 😘
I was absolutely horrified when I heard about that first story a few years ago, might have been more than s few, but that’s just the worst thing ever. I really feel bad for the brother and I hope they’re all doing well. 😢
Yea, fucking awful. I don't know if the cops could have pulled me out of that pit. That story hit me in a way most stories on this channel don't. Having a brother I love very dearly, that story is just tough to stomach.
The Sankebetsu incident with the bear Kesagake is pretty terrifying. Being a feudal villager in a home with thin walls and accessible windows in bear country…eesh.
Yup, living in Florida almost my whole life, sinkholes and sinkhole insurance is pretty common--the West side of Florida is known to be where they mostly happen, especially Pasco county, I grew up hearing stories or seeing something on the news. There are ways to protect yourself though, keep an eye on the signs of your home that a sinkhole may happen: cracks in foundation, exposed tree roots, cracks around door/window frames, overall just things that don’t seem right and drastic changes.
I live not to far north of the sinkhole that swallowed Jeff. It's awful that he was entombed in the hole but there really wasn't anyway to search for him or his body due to the growing sinkhole. We live in sinkhole alley. It's a very long area. However, you can decline sinkhole coverage because it's extremely, ridiculously expensive. As for that bear story, it was like Jaws on land. The large beast is killing people but keeps getting away.
Great channel. It seem that your able to find stories that, at least I haven't heard before. Which is pretty hard because I watch and read a lot of true life stories. Look forward to your next video. BTW. Depending on how far you want to go back in history there are a few stories from Australia that might interest you too. Anyway keep up the great work.
Agree 💯 The voice, the way he narrator tells the story very captivating and great background to go along with the story. This is skill, talent great channel 👍
The guys who were supposed to stay behind and guard the women/children, but abandoned them, were the ORIGINAL inspiration for the phrase: “you had ONE JOB!, and couldn’t even do THAT!”😂
That first story got to me bad. My brother is my best friend and the thought that I couldn’t help him or losing him is terrifying.. I would of kept digging until I knew he wasn’t coming back 😢
July 13, 2023 A sinkhole in Florida that in 2013 consumed and killed a man on his property has opened for a third time, officials said this week. Hillsborough County officials said in a statement that the sinkhole in Seffner, Fla., a suburb of Tampa, had reopened again after opening in 2013 and 2015. County officials assessed the site of the hole on Monday and told neighbors in the area that they didn’t need to evacuate as there was no danger to their homes. The sinkhole is about 19 feet deep and 19 feet wide at its broadest point, said Todd Pratt, a Hillsborough County spokesman, in an email on Thursday. “The sinkhole is pretty much a repeat of when it reopened in 2015,” Mr. Pratt said. In 2013, it was about 20 feet deep and 20 feet wide. Engineers determined this week that there was no indication that the sinkhole would expand, so residents could “remain safely in their homes,” according to the county’s statement.
Id never heard that story about Frank Lloyd Wright and I can’t imagine myself being comfortable enough with that person I’ve essentially fired, to let my husband go away and then let fir3d man be the one in control of serving myself and my children. That sounded like a truly horrifying way to go but she was first one killed so her children especially the girl, had it the worst along with men locked in room..
I’ve actually been to one of Frank Lloyd Wrights homes he built a cottage home for his family on Lake Erie in Buffalo, NY. It was so unique and beautiful. I would love to see some of his other homes.
I really liked FLW's works when I was studying architecture in school years ago. Unfortunately, a lot of his houses were built for pure aesthetics with form over function, resulting in water leaks, poor heating and ventilation, and other such problems that made actually living in them impractical and difficult.
When i saw the custom window cutouts 😂😂😂😂😂 i like the book fountainhead tho. Another thing. Everyone trys to copy franks style. Post modern but they do it even worse and ugly and often just wrong. As in the house isnt even facing north south.
I remember a show that was about people swallowed by the earth and how it messed them up mentally for the rest of their lives. Happens more often than you would think.
The 2 brothers story was so freaking sad. I lived in Tampa when those sinkholes opened up. I was afraid A shinkle would open up underneath me anywhere I went
I've been watching the channel since the beginning. I remember thinking that it reminded me of Mr Ballen so I subscribed. One of like 40 subscribers. I'm happy to see that the show is doing well.
I'm not that early but I was here when he had only a few thousand subs. After I've binged all Sean's videos, I've searched around and found MrBallen. He is good, but not nearly as good as Sean - I thought - and I've wondered why SI has so few subscribers. And since then he even upped his game, and the videos got more detailed, and better flashed out. I wonder how much time Sean invests in them. It must be a sinkhole :) but I'm glad they brought him the recognition he deserved.
I live in Florida and it’s true the sinkholes are a real problem. Pretty sure that’s what happened 10 minutes away from me when the surfside apartment building collapsed. That’s why you have to be sure you don’t buy a home in a flood zone or reside in a flood zone otherwise you’ll be at high risk of that happening. 😅
Right 😀 This channel is literally interesting. The narrator voice is great very captivating and the background is good he sticks to the story instead of (((look at me look at me///personally I find it way more mysterious and interesting not knowing how the narrator looks))))))
my dad is a very talented contractor, he loves frank lloyd. i was just about to mention visiting fallingwater and then u brought it up 😭😭 beautiful architecture in person. def worth seeing
@@crazydud3380 that makes sense, but then again the story is like 100 years old - I kind of doubt there's people alive in Japan who would complain about their ancestors' story being dramatized.
I like how in the bear attack the pregnant woman planned to flee and abandon one child to the bear. And even better the men wanted to burn down the house where their wives and children were. It's like the 3 stooges
Wow man. I subbed to your channel maybe 6 months ago and you had like 5k subs. You really figured that algorithm out lol. But seriously good stuff. I had no idea I liked harrowing situations told to me in an ASMR voice so much.
I feel so bad for that guy losing his bother to a sinkhole; couldn’t do anything to save his own bother (even though he tried to until the police had to step in to stop him before he even died trying to save his bother)
I hate when the police pull family members away like that. Unless they are interfering with other rescuers I feel like trying to save your family is a human right.
They usually do that when there is no hope and they are trying to prevent another death. Also imagine the backlash - headline: "police allow distraught person to go back in to burning building to attempt to save others (or whatever the circumstances are) knowing it will lead to almost certain death - family demands answers and are sueing for wrongful death"
You call it a human right but when they get hurt or die it's the police that get blamed and sued. They are putting the rescuers lives at risk by interfering

That was definitely smarter than your average bear. More like a super sneaky ninja bear.
This is EXACTLY why predators that kill humans are hunted down. With VERY few exceptions like Nile crocodiles, animals don't see humans as food.

Then they started hunting live ones. Because even just scavenging corpses can make them learn humans = food. *Thousands* died. One tiger, known as the Champawat Tiger, killed 436 people. To this day it holds the record for most human fatalities by an animal. It, and the other maneating big cats, were eventually hunted and killed by famed hunter Jim Corbett.
Everytime a bear or cougar or something kills someone, they hunt it down and people bitch and moan. "It's just being an animal" "It doesn't deserve to die" "That's not fair" It doesn't matter what's fair or who deserves what. It's a public safety issue. "Getting a taste for human" sounds like something out of a bad horror movie but it is very, VERY real.
I lived in Hokkaido for four years and saw a couple of bears from a distance. I was told this story for the first time on either my second or third day, but I heard it many times after that as well. It's very well known and often repeated around the prefecture, and people do not take any chances with bear sightings- as soon as one was spotted, there were notices in the newspaper, signs up at all the schools, parks, and public buildings, and my boss called me to warn me to look outside carefully before going out to my car when there was a sighting near town.
I live in the Appalachians, an area kinda known for "North Carolina Belly-Draggers" a local tendency of the brown bears to be just that big... Many DO practically drag their bellies on the ground...

Mr. Bear's gonna figure out REAL QUICK that this ain't no healthy place for a bear... if I have anything to say about it. haha... I don't blame your neighbors in Hokkaido for their attitudes about it. ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 that's why I don't mind hiking in the Cascades or Olympics, I'm never alone. Bears don't usually like dogs and avoid them, and I'm always out with a German Shepard, a rottweiler, and a mutt.
If you believe that story, I have a jesus and a santa to sell you.. and a mighty mo (ped0).
@@arthas640 Meh... My experience is pretty much that bears don't much like being around people... If you have to say "No, Bear" more than twice, you're better off with a gun than a dog... Preferably something capable of putting down the bear instantly or crippling it relatively easily... SO think 12g 000, though I frequently work with Tokarev, since the penetration is damn decent (hits like a cannon) for a .30 cal-ish midsize handgun.
Animals are the one point where I make the "warning shot" exception. NONE of them like that loud sharp sound... BUT even as a warning, I shoot something specifically, like a tree, fence-post, etc... Even with the shotgun, it's best to KNOW where the projectiles go rather than "randomly rain" them down just wherever. ;o)
Hello fellow hokkaidoian. I'd never actually heard this story but I live in sapporo so that's not much a surprise
God that bear story is horrifying. It was like a demon stalking the village
It is believes that human deforestation forced the bears and humans closer together, and that local hunting had also made the bears' natural food sources more scarce. Unfortunately, most people did not understand the consequences of such actions back then.
Not a demon. Just a desperate hungry animal.
@@crazydud3380 You don't seem to understand the context of where this was and are trying to apply your own rubric when it doesn't apply.. The far reaches of Hokkaido don't even remotely have deforestation, it is really dense and wild forest covering most of the area. While there was obviously hunting, it wasn't very able to influence the overall ecosystem..
@@Tinil0 Yeah, you have a point there. Thanks. Most likely the bear woke up early from a failed hibernation. Bears become terrifying when that happens (thankfully it is pretty rare). Luckily, there are better systems in place now for dealing with something like that (or at least we have better guns now).
@@crazydud3380 Fuck bears. I shoot them on sight. We had a truly massive black bear that was repeatedly killing our chickens at night back in early March this year and one morning I saw it heading toward the pens and put a .308 round from my AR-10 right into its upper chest as I called out to it and it quickly whipped its body in my direction. Amazingly even after such a critical shot it still managed to run some 100 yards across the field and into the treeline of our property, but I have no doubt in my mind that it died soon after because we never saw it again. Bears are not welcome here, EVER.
The amount of fuck ups that kept happening in the bear story was mind boggling
For real how did any of those losers survive up to that point
The bear was hunting them 🐻

the smaller weight of the bear might have had something to do with how aggressive it was. bears usually gain weight before the winter for hibernation, so this bear might have been unable to gain enough weight in due time and therefore it was desperate for food.
what I wondered about
In my opinion the most terrifying thing about the Bear attack story was the fact that the man returned home and thought everything was fine. Just imagine being on your way home thinking of what you might have for dinner and spending time with your family, and then you get home and walk in thinking everything's fine, then he picks up his child and has the slow realization of what has occurred. That had to have been truly scary and almost like a nightmare
I think for him it was a nightmare. He lost his wife and child in a single day due to that bear. It mist have been devastating for him and for all the others that lost their wives, husbands and children. Really terrifying.
I've heard of those Hokkaido bear attacks before. It's exactly why bears are the animal I fear the most. I don't understand why more people aren't scared of them. They too powerful to fight, too fast to outrun, and are completely unpredictable. The scariest part is that when they hunt you, they won't kill you first, they just get straight to eating you.
ive recently started to fear bears, i completely agree. i cant imagine the slow death of it, you are literally torn apart alive. ugh
if they're hungry, like this bear was (it hadn't hibernated) than it will eat you alive. OF COURSE, I would add. It doesn't take a phd to understand that.
I watched a video of a bear run up a tree faster than I could fall out of one. It was like gravity didn't exist.
You forgot to add that they can swim faster than me and climb trees better than me. And their strong sense of smell mean by the time i see a bear, it's been aware of me from km away. They just need to learn to fly then they can take over the world
Bears can apparently socialize to humans in large groups, for the most part. There are certain areas where there's practically never bear attacks, even with a lot of human-bear contact. Yosemite National Park is such an area, where black bear attacks practically never happen (though they can go for your food). I've seen various videos of brown bears in Alaska getting close to people while not attacking. In many areas you wouldn't want to get close to them, though.
“They figured because the bear was injured it would be too scared to return”
Oh god, never underestimate nature, especially a very large bear!
A very large HUNGRY bear that woke up early from hibernation.
I admire that bears bravery. Bad for the families though. Maybe it had rabies or was starving. I am terrified of bears BTW.
Right? A bear that was already having difficulty foraging or hunting in the wild and was raiding farms, now injured. We call those garbage bears here, because they're used to coming into inhabited areas to find food.
Yeah.... NO. Upon injury, whatever might've drawn the bear's attention to humans in the first place is coupled to "DESPERATION" as hunger sets in AND it's weakened from the injury. That's only going to make him slower and more painful... Bears can smell that you've got food from MILES away... AND to a hungry bear that's struggling for an injury, an easy meal is just too good to pass up, damn the pink hairless monkeys and their useless sticks. ;o)
@@jase123111 It was starving. The incident happened in December, and it had awakened early from hibernation.
I was living in Tampa when the sinkhole happened. My second cousin lived two blocks away from this house. A few weeks after the house was demolished, I saw the property. Very sad and eerie to see this. What an awful way to go.
I couldn't help but to chuckle at the end of the Frank Lloyd Wright story with the guy trying to commit suicide by drinking hydrochloric acid. He likely didn't know it, but that's basically what stomach acid is. You can even buy HCl pills to use as an aid for digestion, and it can take quite a lot just to trigger mild heartburn. I pretty much guessed his outcome before the story got to it.
Doesn't hydrochloric acid leave severe chemical burns especially when you drink it?
Well, ofc, depends on percentage of HCl, maybe it was diluted
@@orange5591 it may in the mouth, but I doubt that would be life threatening if drinking and swallowing. When you get acid reflux, the soreness in your throat is essentially that chemical burn (which is often due to weak stomach acid, not having too much). But you can get HCL supplements in 600+mg pills and I've taken up to 4 at once with no side effects. People with really weak acid may need even more, but that's something to discuss between you and your care provider. Being in pill form does prevent it from burning your mouth and throat.
The way it was explained to me by a nutritional therapist is you increase the dose over time until you just start to feel a mild warmth, similar to heartburn. The purpose is to not only increase digestion, but also to signal the opening at the top of your stomach to close. That's why weak acid can cause heartburn, and taking heartburn meds can be counterproductive. You think it's from the acid being too strong, so you weaken the already weakened acid, starting a downward spiral that leads to more heartburn and worse digestion.
While it's true that it is naturally in the stomach, it's not in a concentrated form as on bottle but in a very diluted form thanks to a simultanous secretion of sodium bicarbonate, buffering the acid.
In concentrated form, however, it is one of the most corrosive acids in existence.
From Wikipedia:
_"Being a strong acid, hydrochloric acid is corrosive to living tissue and to many materials, but not to rubber. Typically, rubber protective gloves and related protective gear are used when handling concentrated solutions.[8]"_
Inhaling the vapors from fuming concentrated HCl is absolutely strong enough to cause severe damage.... stomach acid is low pH but is by no means the same as pure HCl

My absolute Favorite! I love Falling Water. It's one of my absolute favorite pieces of architecture and solidified my love of architecture on general.
Bears are freaky. I grew up in a rural area, and my dad built a compost bin for our garden out of steel rebar. Just a week or two after we'd started using it, my dad woke up to go to work and saw that the bin had been smashed open, and in one spot the rebar was completely twisted over and folded in half. You'd think that a grid of steel rebar would keep a bear out, but nope. The same bear smashed through my neighbor's garage door a week or so after that to get to their garbage. My neighbor saw it a few times and tried to scare it off by firing blanks at it, but this bear just turned and looked at him. It hung out in our area for like a month, then my neigbbor- who had young kids at the time- decided he'd had enough of constantly being on edge and killed it (even though that was technically illegal). That was a scary time, I'm glad my neighbor took matters into his own hands and got rid of it.
legal or not sometimes you gotta do these things to protect family. If a bear was harassing me and my wife i'd take up arms too.
That attack on the Wright family was horrific, especially since it was so out of the blue.

I've played enough Skyrim to know how dangerous bears can be.
I don't think the bear story from Japan could happen today. Rogue bears, wild boar, and other potentially dangerous wild animals are handled by the Japan Hunters Association. As the rural population in Japan shrinks, and especially given the reduced human activity during the pandemic, incursions of problematic wildlife into rural Japanese towns and smaller cities has become quite common. These hunters are usually older local men who have lived and hunted in the area all their lives. They know the land like the back of their hands, and they are crack shots who have top-tier hunting and camping gear.
They're extremely good at what they do. I've seen them in action on Japanese news programs many times. Japan doesn't have animal control officers, and local police usually defer to the hunters, who typically are better shots and know more about wildlife than they do. Once the hunters get on the track of an animal, they invariably trap it or kill it within a day or two.
There's no way that a bear like the one in this story would be able to repeatedly attack a village in Japan today. The hunters would track it down and shoot it dead during or after its first attack. More likely, they would become aware of it beforehand by spotting its tracks around the area, and help relocate it to a less-populated area if it seemed especially large or threatening to humans.
Thanks for the insight 👍
Didn't you exactly told why it might happen again ?
Only old hunters and rural population shrinking means that at some point there won't be any experienced hunter left and if their rank is replenished, like in the rest of japan there will be far less because of the population aging
It never happened.. it's total rubbish.
@@manuxx3543 lol hunting isn’t some secret art that’s been passed down through generations.

I live in the central Florida area. All of Florida sits on a maze of limestone caverns filled with water. The water typically helps maintain the limestone structures. However, in some places like Pasco county, they pump too much water from certain areas of the aquifer. When this happens, insufficient water exists to bolster the limestone. Thus, sinkholes occur. While there are a larger number of sinkholes in Florida. But they predominate in certain specific areas of Florida. Compare sinkhole occurrences in, for example, Pasco county, versus Pinellas county.
i heard about the hokkaido bear attack before. i can't recall if that was the case here, but when you said that the bear wasn't as big as some can get it got me thinking, bcos a number of maneaters start hunting for humans when they are too weak and/or ill to hunt for another prey - that's the case with a lot of maneating tigers for example. i wonder if that was the case here. still, the whole sequence was a stuff of nightmare, those poor people. no wonder that the survivors didn't want to live in that village anymore

Yup, living in Florida almost my whole life, sinkholes and sinkhole insurance is pretty common--the West side of Florida is known to be where they mostly happen, especially Pasco county, I grew up hearing stories or seeing something on the news. There are ways to protect yourself though, keep an eye on the signs of your home that a sinkhole may happen: cracks in foundation, exposed tree roots, cracks around door/window frames, overall just things that don’t seem right and drastic changes.
I live not to far north of the sinkhole that swallowed Jeff. It's awful that he was entombed in the hole but there really wasn't anyway to search for him or his body due to the growing sinkhole. We live in sinkhole alley. It's a very long area. However, you can decline sinkhole coverage because it's extremely, ridiculously expensive.
As for that bear story, it was like Jaws on land. The large beast is killing people but keeps getting away.

A sinkhole in Florida that in 2013 consumed and killed a man on his property has opened for a third time, officials said this week.
Hillsborough County officials said in a statement that the sinkhole in Seffner, Fla., a suburb of Tampa, had reopened again after opening in 2013 and 2015. County officials assessed the site of the hole on Monday and told neighbors in the area that they didn’t need to evacuate as there was no danger to their homes.
The sinkhole is about 19 feet deep and 19 feet wide at its broadest point, said Todd Pratt, a Hillsborough County spokesman, in an email on Thursday. “The sinkhole is pretty much a repeat of when it reopened in 2015,” Mr. Pratt said. In 2013, it was about 20 feet deep and 20 feet wide.
Engineers determined this week that there was no indication that the sinkhole would expand, so residents could “remain safely in their homes,” according to the county’s statement.
Sinkholes are so scary, the thought of having no idea its there, to step on a piece of ground and disappear into a giant abyss in the earth..

I’ve actually been to one of Frank Lloyd Wrights homes he built a cottage home for his family on Lake Erie in Buffalo, NY. It was so unique and beautiful. I would love to see some of his other homes.
I really liked FLW's works when I was studying architecture in school years ago. Unfortunately, a lot of his houses were built for pure aesthetics with form over function, resulting in water leaks, poor heating and ventilation, and other such problems that made actually living in them impractical and difficult.
When i saw the custom window cutouts 😂😂😂😂😂 i like the book fountainhead tho. Another thing. Everyone trys to copy franks style. Post modern but they do it even worse and ugly and often just wrong. As in the house isnt even facing north south.
It's is Beautiful, tho on the scale of his homes he designed I would give it a 7.....compared to pretty much every other house in that area 9.4
As a carpenter I had the privilege of doing a historic restoration of a Loyd Right home, that was pretty cool.

It must be a sinkhole :) but I'm glad they brought him the recognition he deserved.
That bear story needs a movie with Sylvester Stallone playing the bear.
Less that two miles from my house two homes were consumed by sinkholes because the developers built them too close to a lake.
I live in Florida and it’s true the sinkholes are a real problem. Pretty sure that’s what happened 10 minutes away from me when the surfside apartment building collapsed. That’s why you have to be sure you don’t buy a home in a flood zone or reside in a flood zone otherwise you’ll be at high risk of that happening. 😅

0:40. The First scary story of this video actually begins here forty seconds in, I would title it: “Man who was forced to learn French.”
So it's official. Watched every single one of your videos in less than a week. Thanks alot great stuff
Damned, I was waiting for a miracle to happen in the first case!
my dad is a very talented contractor, he loves frank lloyd. i was just about to mention visiting fallingwater and then u brought it up 😭😭 beautiful architecture in person. def worth seeing
That last story could be a horror movie, even scarier because it's true.
I thought that too. I am kind of surprised it hasn't happened yet (unless the families are not ok with it).
@@crazydud3380 that makes sense, but then again the story is like 100 years old - I kind of doubt there's people alive in Japan who would complain about their ancestors' story being dramatized.
@@kdbrown777 True. It has reached that point where enough time has passed.
oh my god, what fearful stories there, you'r my favorite story teller 🤩
Bro trust me, you don't wanna learn French
The only people I know that speak French are all “better than everyone else”
@@Cold_whispers yeah...exactly that
Lots of Venezuelan women at my job . Some pretty hot
Since when? Better? I don't think so...
Bears in most games: less powerful than a warthog.
Bears in Japan: devours a whole village for funsies.
I like how in the bear attack the pregnant woman planned to flee and abandon one child to the bear. And even better the men wanted to burn down the house where their wives and children were. It's like the 3 stooges
Stories involving bears is why I won't hike alone without a high caliber gun, I'll gladly use my evolutionary advantage there 😬
Wow man. I subbed to your channel maybe 6 months ago and you had like 5k subs. You really figured that algorithm out lol.
But seriously good stuff. I had no idea I liked harrowing situations told to me in an ASMR voice so much.
Good quality in a neat format. Half the battle already won
I feel so bad for that guy losing his bother to a sinkhole; couldn’t do anything to save his own bother (even though he tried to until the police had to step in to stop him before he even died trying to save his bother)
I hate when the police pull family members away like that. Unless they are interfering with other rescuers I feel like trying to save your family is a human right.
More often than not it ends in extra unnecessary deaths due to having no awareness of the dangers or the training to combat them
But it means they’re in control, and that’s the most important thing.
They usually do that when there is no hope and they are trying to prevent another death. Also imagine the backlash - headline: "police allow distraught person to go back in to burning building to attempt to save others (or whatever the circumstances are) knowing it will lead to almost certain death - family demands answers and are sueing for wrongful death"
@@thedaisiesgrow you honestly think it's because the police want "control" in these circumstances?
You call it a human right but when they get hurt or die it's the police that get blamed and sued. They are putting the rescuers lives at risk by interfering
