I’ve worked in bars and night clubs for 20 years and I gotta say, never ever underestimate the unbelievable mess a drunk person can get into. Be careful out there, folks.
I have a cousin who got a deal more hammered than we were, and he ran off into the night away from us. The next day, he finally staggered home in the afternoon, stating he had awoken in a restaurant bathroom which was all locked up due to it still being closed in the early morning. He then broken out of the restaurant and had to make his way back to the house we were at, in a town he was not familiar with... So, yes, you are right. a drunk person can get up to no good lol
Fr. One of Mr Ballens older stories is about a teenager getting drunk at a hotel. She was looking for a bathroom and ended up getting into the kitchen. More precisely she ended up in the walk in freezer. It, for some reason either didn't hv an emergency release button or she was too messed up to find it. By the time they found her, only after going over security cameras the next day, it was way beyond too late😢😢😮l
Hi Mike!! Boise girl here! I wrote you a couple years ago thanking you for being a huge part of my healing through pancreatic cancer. I got a ton of grief from some saying I was looking for clout. But I assure you, I am just grateful to be here. I have watched every video Mike. Thank you for your consistent hard work!
He was one of the constant sources of entertainment and comfort for me during my back saga (back hernia leading to nerve pain down my legs, couldn’t walk for a year, then five and six months ago I got my two back surgeries to fix it). I get it. ❤
I’m praying for you. My daughter is also, stage 4 we are trying to find a trial that will accept her as there is no further treatment. I’m so happy you are healing! It’s a miracle and people don’t understand. My daughter is in the 3% survivors at 18 months and we are hoping for a miracle into that 1%. See you there!!
@@bliven8704 I am sorry to hear this. I got lucky my friend. I caught mine at Stage 1a. Almost unheard of. Tell her to pretend like she is healed. Watch The Secret on here...1hr and 31 minutes or something like that. My odds of being here are still small even with remission for now. LIVE...live her best. My brother, and my first cousin are also surviving pancreatic cancer, so it can happen!
Have you seen the mock ups of that style chimney/fire place and his positioning? I know people want to read into things as suspicious, like the clothes and the bar, but all that means is the bar was moved after the clothes came off. There is no reports of any smell, despite what Mike is claiming, and it would be impossible due to the angle of the inner chimney to shove him inside from the interior. He died like poor Harley Dilly did. A kid who tried to enter a chimney believing it was a straight shoot down, not knowing there’s an abrupt angle a couple feet above the flue, that makes it impossible to climb down, and if you climb up and slip, there’s a good chance you end who folded with your legs above your head. I wish, instead of pushing the narrative that his case is suspicious, people focused on spreading the word on how fatal entering a chimney can be and stopped spreading misinfo about the exterior chimney cover (it was corroded away) or that his clothes were neatly folded (original photos from before the demo don’t show this, they were haphazardly draped like someone picked them up off the floor) and, like Harley Dilly, panic and decomposition would’ve caused some of his clothes to fall off and out of the chimney. So instead of pushing murder, push “don’t go into chimneys”. It’s the same thing with the canal pusher urban legend. People would rather focus on spooky entertaining mysteries that exploit tragic accidents than focusing on raising awareness for everyday safety. This is why true crime has such a bad reputation.
@@meggie11102Exactly right. This is why I can't stand people pushing the false mystery angles... it takes away from the true lessons that need to be learned. Instead people ignore the real lessons and would rather make it some interesting conspiracy where a killer is on the loose.
I think you were spot on with this being an alcohol induced PTSD episode. I think he was trying to escape a perceived threat and thought this would be the best place to hide.. What a terrible way to go.
That sounds reasonable. PTSD makes you very scared and now we imagine a 23 year old drunk Dude, in a maintenance hallway, where he probably doesn't know the position of light switches, unknown Noises, distant doors opening maybe? Such a poor soul, I wish that unto no one.
I also agree with this theory... his short 'status report' on his location, his continuous seeming urge to hide, finding the smallest most sheltered area available... so sad either way.
I lived with a Viet Nam vet, and his ptsd resulted in psychotic episodes where he would see Viet Cong soldiers across the meadow along the treeline. He would crouch under the picture window, crawl across the living room to a closet to find his gun, then crawl back to watch them for 30 minutes at a time. He never talked about the episodes. I wondered if he knew what he was doing.
I was a nursing student at Creighton University Hospital in Council Bluffs in 2012-2013, which is pretty close to the No Frills Supermarket that Larry was found in. I didn't know of him at the time but I tried going to the supermarket to grab lunch once and there was just a god awful smell, just absolutely putrid. I thought maybe it was fluke and tried again a couple of weeks later, same smell. A whole bunch of people complained that it smelled like a body but staff would just say it was maybe a dead animal or sewage issues. It was terrible but it's also infuriating how long it took to find Larry considering it smelled so bad for YEARS, bad enough that business dropped and led to the closure. You'd think *someone* would've looked a little harder to find the source, especially a manager or supervisor. Just all around sad 😢
Just remember, anytime you smell something. Atoms from that object had to fly through the air to get into your nose. Think about that the next time you smell something
You'd think one of you who smelled that smell would have contacted the health department since it was an establishment that sold food. They would have gotten to the bottom of it.
@@lovingmayberry307 First of all that's a double negative and makes no sense. Second of all I'm not concerned about the intent behind it. Regardless of intent it's extremely rude and childish. My comment stands. Grow up.
I appreciate your clear diction & decent volume. Too many true crime TH-camrs want to sound all gruff, or monotonous, or speak as if they are whispering a secret. But not our fav, mostly Irish, Mikester. You sir, are a champ!
42:35 was listening to this part when I read your comment about clear diction and it made me laugh 😂 I totally agree though, I love Mike’s channel because it feels like a friend telling you a story ❤
As a hospitality hotel night auditor by trade, story 1 will haunt me.. forever. I've been rocking with you for 7 years.A lot of these stories have literally helped me to be more aware of the world and just how to be safer, and as I am entering a struggle of being homeless and subjected to some of the dangers out here, I thank you, Its a *chapter I had to end or I may not have left with my life and you very well may be sharing my tragedy here.Never change Mike, we love you. Peace to you all. ☮️
Do not try to understand drunk logic while being sober. I had a drinking problem years ago and convinced myself 100% of scenarios that were completely fictional. I walked around in cities thinking I was in another one until hours later. Reading street signs convincing myself, oh this is just a part of the city I've never been to. I don't get that lost anymore after I stopped drinking excessively.
Never had that happen to me and I was an alcoholic for years, Yes, I had blackout moments, but they always came back and flashes the next day or later that night
I kept going to the airport. For what reason I don't know. I'd come to a sober mind and find myself at the airport, once without shoes. Never with baggage. Just me. I wasn't in any kind of physical condition to think I had been "abused" in any way. Two times I remembered hitch hiking and being dropped off at the airport. One of the other times I took a cab. I generally partied on campus, which wasn't super far away. But why the airport, I have no idea. I didn't know anyone at the time that I'd would travel by air to visit them. There was no where I was trying or hoping to go by air during those years. (I was 19) I quit drinking by the age of 21. Never drank again. Well, not to the point of intoxication.
While messed up , all I had to do was walk straight across the street to my friends house. Instead I made a right and wondered up the next road, a very steep hill and it was snowing. If he hadn’t come looking for me a few minutes later there’s no telling where I would have ended up.
What a strange story and what a bizarre way to die. I am very claustrophobic and the thought of being stuck in a place like that chimney is just horrifying to me.
I dunno...I've ended up getting lost quite impressively whilst drunk. I once had a 15 minute walk home from a bar along a straight road. I ended up lost in the middle of a park 20 minutes in the opposite direction. I thought the park would be a short cut and quicker than the straight road. Another time, I fell asleep on the metro, got shouted at by a conductor, got off the train (no idea where) and ended up walking down a highway. What should have been a 20 minute journey took 4 hours until I flagged someone down and paid them to take me home. I also got lost in a hospital at 4am whilst drunk. That was horrible, because I hate hospitals. Never underestimate the stupidity of very drunk people in their 20s.
the kid who fell behind the freezer is especially sad, his parents returning to the store for years knowing it was his world, that he would always be there... even after it had closed. and knowing it was a new prescription that caused his erratic behavior, and knowing that if he had survived the psychotic episode, the drug would have worn off and they could have gone on from there.
It might be one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard. I can only imagine the regrets in thinking “if I had just checked this store more thoroughly as soon as he disappeared…” etc.
When you've been in business for awhile you learn not to say "That couldn't happen" especially at night and or close to a place that sells or serves liquor.
Yep. Drunk people falls into trash dump (secured with fence, 15 m height), stealing hanging plant (at height 10 m)... Do people become magician when they are drunk or something? I would only drink in my house and securily locked myself in because the shenanigans i saw in my former job.😅
The David Glenn Lewis tragedy is absolutely maddening, especially because of the ultra tight timeframe and the big geographical distance. The known facts just do not add up. It has the feel of a Hichcock triller, especially "North by Northwest", with real or falsely assumed double identity and elaborate foulplay.
For anecdotal behaviour, I have had total blackouts several times when drinking alcohol. E.g. I have woken up fully naked in unfamiliar places with zero memory of what had happened. I believe this is what happened in the first case.
i think most people probably have blacked out from alcohol before, at some point or another; and it's very feasible for someone to get shitfaced drunk and then get lost, but keep going and going and pushing forward to anywhere.
This kind of thing happens to a certain percentage of the population a LOT. They're basically sleepwalking after they get blackout drunk, instead of falling asleep. Also, I hate him dogging on dallas fans circa 93-ish, because the Cowboys & the Bills both made it to *2 superbowls in a row* and BOTH times *the Dallas Cowboys won.*
I honestly don't think anything sinister happened to him, nor do I think it was on purpose. I think, at 18 years old, he naively thought he could enter through the chimney. Most people don't know a chimney has an hourglass shape internally, where it narrows towards the bottom or even in the middle. I think it was a mishap that could have happened to anyone who loves to explore - and he LOVED to explore, going on 2+ hour long walks.
@@jonslg240 he said the top was blocked as well. So how would he put himself in there? There were other ways to get in, logically why would he go through the chimney?
The owner couldn’t be sure when he had the grate put on the chimney. A chimney is wide at the top, wide enough he could easily fit in. So he figured it would be an easy decent. What he didn’t know was chimneys taper at the end and no grown person can ever fit through. Once he was beyond reach of the lip at the top he was doomed.
Was bad on the drink and drugs was diagnosed with PTSD and have had dark episodes but thankfully been clean and sober 18 years now. I got into fights and aggressive with people when drunk or high . I'm glad I never got into anything like this . Some people just have a dark side that comes out with drink or drugs. This is bad no matter what
In our community in Central California, a physician tried to go down a chimney. She’d been drinking and her boyfriend was refusing to let her into his house through the door. He left for a few days and came home to find fluid leaking out of the chimney. The physician had suffocated.
There was a story about it on TH-cam. Who did it is not sure, but it is remembered that she had a well above average IQ. It shows that being smart doesn't stop you from doing extreme stupid things.
@@DovieRuthAuthormakes ya wonder - why are so many intelligent people susceptible to substance abuse? I prefer to think it's merely a symptom of the human condition, and often times poor coping skills to deal with the symptoms. After all, the human condition is chronic, painful, there is no cure, and is fatal in 100% of cases.
Joshua’s death has haunted me since the first time I heard about it a few years ago. It’s physically impossible for him to have been stuck in a chimney and yet his clothes were inside the cabin - unless something very wrong took place. I feel so much sympathy for his family, who spent so much time wondering what happened to him when he was so close to his home. Absolutely heartbreaking, and someone knows the truth but have so far evaded detection. Please let them be identified somehow in the future so that this awful tragedy can reach some closure 😢
I saw a recent video on Joshua and in that video they explained the clothing. It was found in the chimney and police moved it trying to retrieve the body, they didn't take crime scene photos until after they had contaminated the evidence, I believe the police didn't own up to their procedural mistakes for years.
Do we not have cameras up? I mean, no one saw him. The hotels don’t have cameras the streets don’t have cameras when he called dad and told him he was on the stairs. Where was his phone pinging from? I mean, not much of a party town in Savannah, Georgia you think you’d have surveillance
"...He's got something to hide....... let's find out what it is!" 🤣 Mike could tell stories about literally anything at this point, & I'd still show up to listen...
I had my dna tested a few years ago and it resolved an argument between my dad and his sister (it started in the 1920/30’s. Dad said we were Irish. Aunt Edith said we were Scottish. She won!
I've been subscribed to Mike since he had about 120,000 subscribers. It is so cool to watch this channel grow and to see his confidence now. A long time ago his videos were very informative and I loved how he showed videos of crime scenes and explained stuff with a little comedy. He's taking it to a new level and deserves all the new subscribers. Keep it up mike. I also have a conspiracy theory, I think you always do cases that have the number TREE (3) in it.
same!! i have been watching him for a while as well and its s fun to see how much he has grown. i feel the same way about Adrian over on coffeehouse crime!
@@magical8013 I was just thinking the same thing. Most creators I watch who are HUGE now like Mike I have supported since they had a baby channel. So cool to see them evolve from all the hard work they put into it. The videos are like prime time shows now lol
Having an autoimmune disease with limited energy can be tough some days. Thank you Mike for your stories, they truly brighten up my day, especially the days when I’m stuck on the sofa.
I want you to know you're not alone. I'm suffering from autoimmune issues and endocrine disorders as well. The suffering, pain, fatigue, vomiting, swollen joints, flaky painful itchy skin, and so much more... Are incredibly hard to deal with and almost as hard to try and convey and explain to others. They just think I'm lazy. Must be on drugs. A cry baby.. Etc etc etc I work 12 hour shifts... At night.. And worked all weekend... But look forward to my days off to lay in bed with my wife and watch Mike. I tried not working and while better on my body, it put too much on my wife and young son... So, today on my day off, I gave blood for my thyroid and adrenal gland levels as well as get ultrasound images of my kidneys. Hoping it isn't cancer as well. Anyway, I'm here suffering with you! Hang in there! 🙀
I usually dont reply or comment much but both of you hit close to home,my mom has RA and I see the pain she goes thru,I hope the best for you guys because every day is a struggle,I have gastritis caused from gerd and I just had 3 hernias repaired in my groin. My fiance is the only one that understands my life and that I'm not lazy,I have PTSD from past ways I used to live and as u get older those mental health issues pop up like " what's happenin??? I ain't forget about you" I've been bed ridden for a week now and man the mind is a dangerous neighborhood to be in alone,im just rambling now,stupid norcos...take care
Bro I listen to soooo much true crime… I NEVER heard that last story… and that one takes the cake on the strangest story I ever heard…. I bow to u sir, very good
Reminds me of that poor young woman who drunkenly wandered a hotel until she ended up in an industrial freezer and died of hypothermia. I can imagine being blackout drunk and randomly trying doors until finding one with a cool breeze, thinking perhaps you've found a way outside for some fresh air and continuing deeper. Edit: I also just remembered the young man who got lost (I believe drunk, and on a college campus iirc) and managed to get into a server room or other electrical utility space. The room was dark and he tried to find his way by feel. He managed to get a finger through a gap in an electrical box and was electrocuted.
@@Tryp-j9d Idk why you feel the need to call her dumb as a person. Being super drunk makes people do dumb things. I know of no reason to think she was any dumber on a normal day than any of us.
@@Tryp-j9d Who walks around without their phone? Well, a super drunk person or someone who has lost their phone, just as a couple of examples. You ok? You seem really worked up about something.
So the Joshua case, that dude admitted to "putting him in a hole" but cops never seemed to really look into it, but on top of that he admitted to murdering someone else but "they had someone else " so didnt investigate further. Top police work.
I am adopted and always wanted to know who I came from. So I did 23&Me in 2019-ish and down in Orlando a history professor was doing his kit because he’s into history and thought it would be interesting to do one. His family had no idea his mom gave a baby back in 1968. She never told anyone. Boy it was a huge shock at the start of lockdown in March 2020 when I saw I had new relative connections and it was my half brother!!! Found my whole mom’s side of family by end of that day. Yes, it’s a very long story but also amazing!!! It really looks like when Sophia meets Dorothy . Short bit of Italian woman meets talk Italian woman. 😂😂😂. Oh I was that big secret!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
I did 23 & Me, too, but instead of my DNA, I sent in my dog's DNA. They sent me a whole bunch of stuff about all these places that my dog's ancestors were from, and a list of _human beings_ that my dog might be related to. I learned to not trust any of these DNA testing places, because the first test on any DNA sample should be "is it human or not," and they didn't even bother to do that. But the fact that they matched it to real human contributors tells me that _all_ of the information they send back is entirely made up bullshit.
That's interesting and I don't doubt at all. It reminds me of the PCR test everyone was required to do during covid. Then they come out with a super fast new mRNA vaccine and say it's safe and effective. When you do your own research into the history and ingredients people would not be so trusting.
@@simonmacomber7466 thats complete bullshit, i got one and its linked me accurately to an aunt and 2nd cousin in another country that i know but none of us knew the other had taken a DNA test, also you dont fill out info about your ancestry etc so how does it know? just happens to guess the countries exactly people know about?, you are just repeating something you heard online or you have been inserting your DNA in your dogs mouth
@@simonmacomber7466 this is crazy smh cant trust nothing 100% if she blood tested everyone that means the test worked for her but sending animal dna is next level
I've heard the story of David Glenn Lewis several times before, but I'm here for Mike's telling of the tale. So baffling. What the hell happened there?? All of these stories are just terrible and tragic, though. Heartbreaking for the victims' loved ones.
I’ve never tried marijuana, and I’ve never been a drinker; but I grew up with pot heads and alcoholics. I’m amazed that alcohol was ever legal, while marijuana has been so criminalized. Everyone knows which one is more dangerous.
I've had the opposite experience. I can drink beer like it's water, but weed turns my world upside down. By far, most visits to my ER are cannabis-related psychosis, usually from overdosing. I envy pot smokers. Apparently you can take a couple of puffs and all your anxiety goes away and you can sleep. I'm over here shaking in a corner, seeing colors and stars, heart racing, completely paranoid. 😂
@@heidi7151 Go to any jail some weekend night and ask the inmates there what they did. By and large, their utterances will all begin with, “I got drunk and…“ Also, I have worked at two major, level-1 hospitals in Houston, Texas. We rarely saw anything having to do with marijuana. Every other patient there was driving drunk, working drunk, or just angry drunk and fighting with the people around them - or they were the victims of the same.
The sheer frequency of which my hometown randomly pops up in such revelative and/or investigatory podcasts and series... REALLY reinforces my enthusiastic participation in the Mass Texodus.
Mike!! Yes!! I cook at a hospital and this vid came in just in time for me to listen as I cook. I can't touch my phone or anything while im in the kitchen (for sanitary reasons) so I just hit play and listen in my earbud. Woohoo!! Now I'm off my break and going to work ❤ I love ya!!
@macklinillustration yesterday was fried or baked porkchops or Salisbury steaks, choice of 2 sides of turnip greens, pinto beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, or candied carrots, cornbread or yeast rolls, sweet/unsweetened tea, lemonade, fruit punch, coffee or iced water. All homemade stuff.. we don't do pre-made anything. It's a country town and this place is known for its food. People here come to us like a restaurant and we love it 🥰 today is fried chicken day.. it's the most popular day so I'm gonna be a busy lady.
😂🙋♀Me! And I used to encourage him to keep saying it b/c I feel that some may really need to hear it. Having lost most of my family rather quickly, I miss them & the daily "I love you's" _terribly_ ! ❤🩹
You know what, it’s stories like this that make me a little hesitant to stay at hotels sometimes. You could have a body under the bed, in an air vent, in the water tank, etc and never know. Good work as always, Mike! Please take care of yourself! 🖤
One time there was a body _in_ the mattress. Guests came and slept on the made up bed and didn’t know. That gives me the creeps. Sleeping on a body? No thank you.
@annamoonc2175 Oh that dang restructuring! I've been there too. I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I hope that the stars will align for you to find something better, with good colleagues and a calm, knowledgeable and respectful boss who can appreciate your true worth.
I'm 55, and I have been so drunk (two times) that I didn't remember anything about the night. Luckily, I had my husband to take care of me, but if not, I could have done virtually ANYTHING. I definitely see how someone could wander into anything if they are extremely drunk. When he called his dad and said that he was on the stairs, he must have been on the ladder/steps leading up to the air conditioning units. So very sad. 😢
My friend was so drunk once he ended up sleeping in the cardboard packaging of a freezer which was dumped outside his college dorm room. The thing is tho he'd travelled over 50 miles to get from the party to there PLUS he'd not been in college or that room for more than 5 years. That's drunk!
That’s my theory as well. I’ve stayed at that hotel and if he walked in the lobby and went straight back, which it sounds like he did, he would’ve stumbled straight back towards the ballrooms and maintenance areas.
Larry’s story reminds me of a guy in Swift Current, SK, Canada who disappeared from a Safeway supermarket he worked at in the 80s. He was missing for two months before a coworker confessed that he was showing off his martial arts moves and accidentally killed him and hid the body in the stock room freezer.
@@Mephisto-ie2xg I remember hearing about the disappearance on Swift current radio. Then hearing about the arrest two months later. I think the how of the story was published in the Regina paper
You can't expect the hotel to accommodate for such things to happen, but you can expect a door meant to be locked to be locked, I'll bet it's sitting unlocked now.
The soldier story sounds like he got black out drunk and was basically dreaming/hallucinating that he was in an active war zone. It’s the only thing that makes any kind of sense, if you want to call it that. Sad no matter how it happened, obviously. His poor family. 💔
A bartender who was working at the hotel bar that night gave his account. Three dudes had come in, clearly drunk, and were refused service. They got belligerent, the cops were called, and they legged it through the hotel. Robert wedged himself in there trying to hide from the police, cuz drunk people have very bad ideas.
Yes, a refuge. Only it was super loud, so But that's not as wacky as the chimney. Altho the thug who's mentioned-- the thug who'd killed-- but nobody cared, it seems.
@@amberspaulding If suffering PTSD, the noise could, in his mind, be helicopters. Desperation to avoid being shot, he just ran and ran and squeezed himself into a 'safe space'
Also could have also been on benzo's like xaninax and or Valium which with or sometimes without liquor you can do all tht shit and remember none of it. Sad shit for tht family. After I lost my daughter 5 yrs ago tht after they are gone the reason doesn't seem to matter as much. As a father it's the loss tht lives on
Trust me I've been that level of drunk where reality is distorted and ended up completely lost in random places by myself. I'm talking getting lost inside of someone's yard and falling off a wall and down a hill into the street, and calling my friend to say I was lost at the river. You can't make sense of anything when you're that gone. I've also drunkenly been in the hotel back rooms myself. Very unfortunate
My friend drunkenly peed in an outdoor Nativity scene one Christmas Eve. Didn’t remember it when his buddy told him the next day. He was a very good Catholic so he was mortified 😮
Theory, He was so disorientated he thought it was a tank. Drunk and confused, just back from war/combat, he climbed in somehow, maybe the loud sound resembled the sound of a tank engine.
Could Robert have been suffering from PTSD? He may have entered the darkened hallway and then the noisy AC thinking he was in war. My step-father experienced PTSD from serving in Italy during WWII and believed, time and time again, that he was fighting next to his friend who had his head blown off. It is truly terrifying to suffer such trauma. This was a most tragic story! :(
Yeah. I remember the uncle of my ex had PTSD. One day, a tire blew, making a loud sound (similar to gunshot or maybe explosion?). I was very young at the time (18/19), so I didn't understand his reaction. He dove under a desk, curled up in a ball/fetal position, and his wife (exes aunt) told us to leave for now as she was crawling under the desk with him, trying to comfort him and convince him he wasn't still at war. I just remember both of them sobbing, and he was trying to fight her off, she was trying to hug him and bring him back to reality. It was so so sad, seeing a grown man freaking out that badly, and I always thought man, he must have seen some real SHYT in the war (Vietnam, I think, maybe WWII). I never forgot that, and now that I'm older, it seems all the more profound. 😢
Iris station with a guy that had PTSD from Vietnam and we would all be in a different Barracks except for a few guys and this one gentleman he would run up and down the hall screaming and yelling. It was super scary now I have PTSD from Afghanistan and Kuwait and I take medication however I still will get up and walk around the house and do stuff will not remember it can I get up I'll go okay what happened for me everything has to be in a certain spot and I totally do not remember it at all it's extremely scary
In the Joshua case I truely believe it was a dare from the friend to get into the chimney and then he blocked him in there and left him. Truly sad no matter what happened, hope one day the family finds the truth or at least some form of closure.
The first story reminds me of a friend of mine - I thought, "yeah I could totally see Chuck getting drunk and doing that." Some people do insane things when they’ve been drinking, but that is way up there on the crazy scale.
A buddy of mine brought home a living swan once... No idea how he managed to not get injured by it, but yeah. It was fun the next morning trying to get the overgrown chicken out of the apartment
@@cctakedown333 hahaha that’s a story worthy of a scene from The Hangover. When I was a teenager we stole a Shoney’s Big Boy statue and when we sobered up we realized that it was going to be pretty hard to hide. The guy I was referring and myself were in Spain partying with some women, and for some reason he leaped out of bed naked and ran out of the hotel and made it two blocks before I caught up with him. He looked at me asked ,WHAT’S HAPPENING?!” He later said he had it in his head that he thought he’d been robbed and I guess thought he was chasing the robbers. But still, the guy in that air vent story had to take a lot of steps where he made decisions about what to do, so whatever his crazy intent was he believed in it fully.
No2 the chimney! Never underestimate the laziness of some local police forces? No crime No investigation(work) necessary. Crime? And lots of work and paperwork...
Regarding the last segment: you can program a VCR to start recording at a certain time so he could have left his house much earlier. Doesn’t explain why he left or why he went where he did, but the timeline makes more sense.
Wow, I'm from Colorado and remember when they found this guy in the chimney. They definitely said it was an accident and left out the details. 😢 This is the first time I've heard his clothes were inside.
So I have definitely gotten shitfaced by myself and ended up spacing out ON MY PHONE in a neighborhood I actually know and realized I'd gone a couple blocks and had to think sobering thoughts to get home. It's amazing that I haven't been kidnapped although I have toned it down.
RE: Last story My family had one of the first VCRs, and we had many, many, more after that. Some older VCRs had a play/record knob similar to one on a reel to reel. You could physically turn the knob to the right or left. Others had buttons you pressed down, like an old hand-held cassette player, where you press play and record at the same time to record. With one of these, you could use it in conjunction with a manual outlet timer to record programs. I wonder if perhaps he had one of those, and the police didn't notice it.
Most of these cases (I already knew two of them) remind me of Henry McCabe's case. It's literally the strangest and most unexplainable case ever. They say it was an accidental drowning. But the voicemail recording he "left" while drowning doesn't make sense. He had his phone on him when they found him in the lake: cellphone in one pocket, battery in the other. And the sounds he makes on that recording are the most horrific sounds I've heard a human make (if you can find the full thing, it's about 1 minute, and really, really hard to find). He's also got connections with the government back in Africa. It's all so unnerving and unsettling. You could cover it, Mike.
Feeling you have such a way for story telling, Feeling nostalgic today…you are the very first True crime you Tube Chanel I started to watch and I got hooked!!! Keep it up ! Long life to TC. Hugs from Montréal Stay safe 😊😎😎😎😎🥰👍
I just stumbled across your channel while looking for something to catch my interest and help me pass my spare time in a way that kept my mind active. I love your accent - I am an Aussie. I love your delivery and presentation. And your bizarre stories that just leave me with several thoughts "How does this shit happen " "What portals do these people come from " "What phenomenon leads to these bizarre mysteries and outcomes " I am going to binge on your entire content. Thank you for giving me something thought provoking and entertaining. Something that doesn't make me feel like I have wasted my time. Big hugs and kisses from me
Robert's case gives Elisa Lam vibes - before Mike even mentioned it, I immediately thought of her situation. Or Kenneka Jenkins. *How* are people able to get into these spaces.
My lady says im real observant but i cant be the only one to notice the odd number of people going missing in big hotels with all of em being drunk and having weird circumstances around them hmm maybe ill start my own channel 🤣 but ill always watch ThatChapter! 💜
I would be so nervous of being caught in an area that was off limits and I wasn't supposed to have been in ("no unauthorized access"), especially while I was deeply inebriated... Perhaps if I was really drunk, out of my mind - like it sounds these two guys were - I might have snuck into a hotel to try to find an empty room to sleep it off in. Sometimes when one has had too much to drink then their hair-brain schemes seem like a great idea. Not sure why he just left his friend... Maybe he needed to relieve himself... and then his plan changes from there. So, he's sneaking around the hotel corridors and service passages... it's kind of exciting... but also dangerous - being caught could get him into trouble... So, when he hears someone coming... he decides to sneak into the aircon hatch... just for a minute... until the employee he suspects he heard approaching passes.... so he steps in, pulls the door shut... and shuffles backwards into his little hidey-hole and then.... BAM!!! KRRRT-KRRR, CHUCK-CHUCK-CHUCK - his arm gets sucked into the aircon fan.... ? His screams drowned out by the noise of the fans....
Definitely agree with you on the government involvement in the last case. That’s one of the wildest cases of unexplained deaths I’ve ever heard. You are such a gem Mike. Love watching your videos. ❤ love ya!
Hope you had a Merry Labor Day. It was my Dad's favorite holiday because the kids were in school back in my day. It was his only true day off without responsibilities except cooking.
I also wonder where the custodians were? At my work a custodian empties the garbage/recycling out of every cube every night...I'm sure Virgil would notice if we were dead at our cube.
@@mrsleep0000 as a former custodian, I agree. When I cleaned offices late at night, I went to every desk, every trash can, every room. How does someone overlook a deceased employee for 4 days? Shocking, really.
@@mrsleep0000 It's been reported that the woman worked in an "underpopulated" area of the building, which I take to mean that many of the employees in the area worked remote. And if most of them were remote, it might be that a cleaning crew only came once a week or something, since there wouldn't be enough trash to justify their being there nightly.
Honestly, poor wife and kid. Without proof of his death, his wife couldn’t move on. He just ran away? My ex did that. It was very hard to get divorced (courts are hesitant to grant without proof you tried to find and get consent) or sell the house. Not to mention raising 3 kids with no help.
The first case feels super suspicious to me. It also reminds me of how Wade Steffey found his way in what was supposed to be a LOCKED electrical room at Purdue University and got electricuted, and was only found when someone heard noises coming from the room
@@sierrasicard4593 I think an accidentally unsecured door is about as mysterious as that case gets. Both of these cases and the young woman who drunkenly wandered into a hotel's industrial freezer are very similar. It's not impossible for blackout drunk people to wander into weird places, even ones that should be locked. Things get left accidentally (or intentionally) unlocked all the time. Could have been someone propped the door to the electrical room because they were coming and going, then left thru the interior door and forgot they had left it propped. There's a zillion reasons for that sort of thing, and it happens all the time. It's just usually not brought to our attention much until the swiss cheese model lines up and something tragic happens.
@@corvinredactedthat girl in the freezer, I think the "friends" knew more especially when you watch the video footage and they kinda treated her like a nuisance even while they were partying
@Yorokobi224 People get annoyed with drunk friends all the time. I think irresponsible friends getting irritated and brushing her off to avoid interrupting their own night is a much less extraordinary explanation than some kind of conspiracy. There's CCTV footage of the kitchen from the entire night that means they would have had to convince her to go to the kitchen and into the freezer alone, meanwhile banking on her not being able to figure out how to get herself out again with the emergency release button. Honestly, I think we try too hard sometimes to make things more exciting and theatrical than they really are.
I’ve been plastered enough to walk off a sidewalk falling into a creek. Has no idea I was even near a creek. I could see that guy being hammered enough to think he was somewhere else.

I used to spend 1 week in 4 in Savannah as part of my job. It was really historic, beautiful, and generally safe. As a woman alone, I sometimes took my dog and sometimes didn't when I walked alone at night. I'm a rational adult, but a couple of times, I got spooked - not by people, who were terribly friendly all the time, but by the ancient spooky ghostiness of the place at night. Major eerie Juju, y'all!
I moved to Savannah December 2002 into a 4 story brownstone on 104 Jones St. I had a week before the TV and telephone would be installed. When I walked around I was told to leave the area immediately by a random passerby while on a pay phone. Many other times was told never go out after dark. It was shocking. I adopted my first dog as an adult that week from the shelter. We left Savannah three months later never to return.
Jus told the old lady" ill be back, im gonna smoke . Be back in 30 mins ,give or take. Now its gonna be 48 mins nd some change. Thanks for always being there Mike
I've been depressed, thought "maybe there's a new Mike video :/" and checked TH-cam. Behold, a new Mike video. You're a real one. Glad to be part of first 5 minute gang. Thanks for all the hours of enjoyment, big dog.
as a western washington native, if he flew in via seatac i can confirm that it is really weird where that last guy was found given the time frame. homie was on the other side of the mountains, he was in eastern washington, which is like, not only a completely different place to western washington, but also, he would have had to drive a considerable distance and gone through the pass to get to the other side. if no car was found near him, then he had to have gotten a ride from someone. maybe even just hitchhiked, but someone had to drive him there. and whatever they were driving would have to be outfitted for the pass. depending on the weather that could mean tire chains, which not everyone has. super weird.
that first case reminds me of a case that happened at our local shopping centre. people were complaing of a strong smell for ages premating through the shopping centre. months later they started an upgrade of the air con and found a guy mummified upside down in the air con tubing. he had tried to break in to the then woolco thought the ventilation system and got stuck upside down and died.

I’ve worked in bars and night clubs for 20 years and I gotta say, never ever underestimate the unbelievable mess a drunk person can get into. Be careful out there, folks.
It sounds like we've met...
@@timanctil8225 😂
I have a cousin who got a deal more hammered than we were, and he ran off into the night away from us. The next day, he finally staggered home in the afternoon, stating he had awoken in a restaurant bathroom which was all locked up due to it still being closed in the early morning. He then broken out of the restaurant and had to make his way back to the house we were at, in a town he was not familiar with... So, yes, you are right. a drunk person can get up to no good lol
I could see drunk me thinking that an industrial air conditioner would be a good place to sleep, especially if I were in Georgia.
Fr. One of Mr Ballens older stories is about a teenager getting drunk at a hotel. She was looking for a bathroom and ended up getting into the kitchen. More precisely she ended up in the walk in freezer. It, for some reason either didn't hv an emergency release button or she was too messed up to find it. By the time they found her, only after going over security cameras the next day, it was way beyond too late😢😢😮l
Hi Mike!! Boise girl here! I wrote you a couple years ago thanking you for being a huge part of my healing through pancreatic cancer. I got a ton of grief from some saying I was looking for clout. But I assure you, I am just grateful to be here. I have watched every video Mike. Thank you for your consistent hard work!
He was one of the constant sources of entertainment and comfort for me during my back saga (back hernia leading to nerve pain down my legs, couldn’t walk for a year, then five and six months ago I got my two back surgeries to fix it). I get it. ❤
I’m praying for you. My daughter is also, stage 4 we are trying to find a trial that will accept her as there is no further treatment. I’m so happy you are healing! It’s a miracle and people don’t understand. My daughter is in the 3% survivors at 18 months and we are hoping for a miracle into that 1%. See you there!!

So glad you're here! ❤
The Joshua Maddux story always broke my heart. The fact he was so close for so long.. but the story is also just way too suspicious
Have you seen the mock ups of that style chimney/fire place and his positioning? I know people want to read into things as suspicious, like the clothes and the bar, but all that means is the bar was moved after the clothes came off. There is no reports of any smell, despite what Mike is claiming, and it would be impossible due to the angle of the inner chimney to shove him inside from the interior. He died like poor Harley Dilly did. A kid who tried to enter a chimney believing it was a straight shoot down, not knowing there’s an abrupt angle a couple feet above the flue, that makes it impossible to climb down, and if you climb up and slip, there’s a good chance you end who folded with your legs above your head.
I wish, instead of pushing the narrative that his case is suspicious, people focused on spreading the word on how fatal entering a chimney can be and stopped spreading misinfo about the exterior chimney cover (it was corroded away) or that his clothes were neatly folded (original photos from before the demo don’t show this, they were haphazardly draped like someone picked them up off the floor) and, like Harley Dilly, panic and decomposition would’ve caused some of his clothes to fall off and out of the chimney.
So instead of pushing murder, push “don’t go into chimneys”. It’s the same thing with the canal pusher urban legend. People would rather focus on spooky entertaining mysteries that exploit tragic accidents than focusing on raising awareness for everyday safety. This is why true crime has such a bad reputation.
@@meggie11102Exactly right. This is why I can't stand people pushing the false mystery angles... it takes away from the true lessons that need to be learned. Instead people ignore the real lessons and would rather make it some interesting conspiracy where a killer is on the loose.
@@meggie11102 💯
I think you were spot on with this being an alcohol induced PTSD episode. I think he was trying to escape a perceived threat and thought this would be the best place to hide.. What a terrible way to go.
That sounds reasonable. PTSD makes you very scared and now we imagine a 23 year old drunk Dude, in a maintenance hallway, where he probably doesn't know the position of light switches, unknown Noises, distant doors opening maybe? Such a poor soul, I wish that unto no one.
Makes more sense than anything else.
Mike also said there were stairs to get to the room. It makes sense that he was afraid and told his dad where he was, then tried to hide somewhere.
I also agree with this theory... his short 'status report' on his location, his continuous seeming urge to hide, finding the smallest most sheltered area available... so sad either way.
I lived with a Viet Nam vet, and his ptsd resulted in psychotic episodes where he would see Viet Cong soldiers across the meadow along the treeline. He would crouch under the picture window, crawl across the living room to a closet to find his gun, then crawl back to watch them for 30 minutes at a time. He never talked about the episodes. I wondered if he knew what he was doing.
I was a nursing student at Creighton University Hospital in Council Bluffs in 2012-2013, which is pretty close to the No Frills Supermarket that Larry was found in. I didn't know of him at the time but I tried going to the supermarket to grab lunch once and there was just a god awful smell, just absolutely putrid. I thought maybe it was fluke and tried again a couple of weeks later, same smell. A whole bunch of people complained that it smelled like a body but staff would just say it was maybe a dead animal or sewage issues. It was terrible but it's also infuriating how long it took to find Larry considering it smelled so bad for YEARS, bad enough that business dropped and led to the closure. You'd think *someone* would've looked a little harder to find the source, especially a manager or supervisor. Just all around sad 😢
I'm not surprised by comments. Until today. There's levels to everything.
Just remember, anytime you smell something. Atoms from that object had to fly through the air to get into your nose.
Think about that the next time you smell something
You'd think one of you who smelled that smell would have contacted the health department since it was an establishment that sold food. They would have gotten to the bottom of it.
@@maddisonbythesea3015except people did, and they didn't.
You would think at some point it would be shut down by the health department for cleaning or something if it was that bad.

Do not try to understand drunk logic while being sober. I had a drinking problem years ago and convinced myself 100% of scenarios that were completely fictional. I walked around in cities thinking I was in another one until hours later. Reading street signs convincing myself, oh this is just a part of the city I've never been to. I don't get that lost anymore after I stopped drinking excessively.
I remember those days. Now, no more than two drinks a night, and only at home. 😂😂😂
i’m a functional alcoholic and this has literally never happened to me, not even remotely lol
@@xbeauxyeux
You know it happens.
You are a liar.
Never had that happen to me and I was an alcoholic for years, Yes, I had blackout moments, but they always came back and flashes the next day or later that night
I kept going to the airport. For what reason I don't know.
I'd come to a sober mind and find myself at the airport, once without shoes. Never with baggage. Just me. I wasn't in any kind of physical condition to think I had been "abused" in any way. Two times I remembered hitch hiking and being dropped off at the airport. One of the other times I took a cab.
I generally partied on campus, which wasn't super far away. But why the airport, I have no idea. I didn't know anyone at the time that I'd would travel by air to visit them. There was no where I was trying or hoping to go by air during those years. (I was 19) I quit drinking by the age of 21. Never drank again. Well, not to the point of intoxication.
While messed up , all I had to do was walk straight across the street to my friends house. Instead I made a right and wondered up the next road, a very steep hill and it was snowing. If he hadn’t come looking for me a few minutes later there’s no telling where I would have ended up.
What a strange story and what a bizarre way to die. I am very claustrophobic and the thought of being stuck in a place like that chimney is just horrifying to me.
I dunno...I've ended up getting lost quite impressively whilst drunk. I once had a 15 minute walk home from a bar along a straight road. I ended up lost in the middle of a park 20 minutes in the opposite direction. I thought the park would be a short cut and quicker than the straight road.
Another time, I fell asleep on the metro, got shouted at by a conductor, got off the train (no idea where) and ended up walking down a highway. What should have been a 20 minute journey took 4 hours until I flagged someone down and paid them to take me home.
I also got lost in a hospital at 4am whilst drunk. That was horrible, because I hate hospitals.
Never underestimate the stupidity of very drunk people in their 20s.
And just think of all the spunk you've swallowed while drunk.
Absolutely. In those distant youth days, I myself had incredible distortions in time and space with the help of alcohol.
Excellent comment! Yes, we can get ourselves in amazing predicaments while hammered. The “good ole days”! 😅
Lucky to be alive. It takes my breath away thinking about some of the stupid things I did and bad situations I put myself in.
Time to stop drinking, bro.

Thanks for the warning
I've been watching you and Bailey for so long and nothing makes me happier than hearing her theme song and you saying "Let's give it a goo!" 🥰❤️❤️
the kid who fell behind the freezer is especially sad, his parents returning to the store for years knowing it was his world, that he would always be there... even after it had closed. and knowing it was a new prescription that caused his erratic behavior, and knowing that if he had survived the psychotic episode, the drug would have worn off and they could have gone on from there.
It might be one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard. I can only imagine the regrets in thinking “if I had just checked this store more thoroughly as soon as he disappeared…” etc.
they smelled their own dead child every time they went to the store...
In my opinion, I believe someone put him there.
When you've been in business for awhile you learn not to say "That couldn't happen" especially at night and or close to a place that sells or serves liquor.
Yep, exactly right. Working in accommodation, the stories I could tell, all involving drink or more.
Yep. Drunk people falls into trash dump (secured with fence, 15 m height), stealing hanging plant (at height 10 m)... Do people become magician when they are drunk or something? I would only drink in my house and securily locked myself in because the shenanigans i saw in my former job.😅
The David Glenn Lewis tragedy is absolutely maddening, especially because of the ultra tight timeframe and the big geographical distance. The known facts just do not add up. It has the feel of a Hichcock triller, especially "North by Northwest", with real or falsely assumed double identity and elaborate foulplay.
i really wonder if they misidentified him. It wouldn't surprise me at all.
For anecdotal behaviour, I have had total blackouts several times when drinking alcohol. E.g. I have woken up fully naked in unfamiliar places with zero memory of what had happened. I believe this is what happened in the first case.
Plus the whole "getting his arm chopped off" thing.
i think most people probably have blacked out from alcohol before, at some point or another; and it's very feasible for someone to get shitfaced drunk and then get lost, but keep going and going and pushing forward to anywhere.
Same here.
This kind of thing happens to a certain percentage of the population a LOT. They're basically sleepwalking after they get blackout drunk, instead of falling asleep.
Also, I hate him dogging on dallas fans circa 93-ish, because the Cowboys & the Bills both made it to *2 superbowls in a row* and BOTH times *the Dallas Cowboys won.*
Don't drink anymore. It doesn't sound like it agrees with you. Be safe and well.
I wish Joshua Maddux's case would be re-opened. Poor guy. I just don't think he did that to himself.
I honestly don't think anything sinister happened to him, nor do I think it was on purpose.
I think, at 18 years old, he naively thought he could enter through the chimney. Most people don't know a chimney has an hourglass shape internally, where it narrows towards the bottom or even in the middle.
I think it was a mishap that could have happened to anyone who loves to explore - and he LOVED to explore, going on 2+ hour long walks.
@@jonslg240 he said the top was blocked as well. So how would he put himself in there? There were other ways to get in, logically why would he go through the chimney?
The owner couldn’t be sure when he had the grate put on the chimney. A chimney is wide at the top, wide enough he could easily fit in. So he figured it would be an easy decent. What he didn’t know was chimneys taper at the end and no grown person can ever fit through. Once he was beyond reach of the lip at the top he was doomed.
@joiathegreat, neither do I.
He was half naked people he didn’t do this to himself 😢
Was bad on the drink and drugs was diagnosed with PTSD and have had dark episodes but thankfully been clean and sober 18 years now. I got into fights and aggressive with people when drunk or high .

In our community in Central California, a physician tried to go down a chimney. She’d been drinking and her boyfriend was refusing to let her into his house through the door. He left for a few days and came home to find fluid leaking out of the chimney. The physician had suffocated.

Joshua’s death has haunted me since the first time I heard about it a few years ago. It’s physically impossible for him to have been stuck in a chimney and yet his clothes were inside the cabin - unless something very wrong took place. I feel so much sympathy for his family, who spent so much time wondering what happened to him when he was so close to his home. Absolutely heartbreaking, and someone knows the truth but have so far evaded detection. Please let them be identified somehow in the future so that this awful tragedy can reach some closure 😢
I saw a recent video on Joshua and in that video they explained the clothing. It was found in the chimney and police moved it trying to retrieve the body, they didn't take crime scene photos until after they had contaminated the evidence, I believe the police didn't own up to their procedural mistakes for years.
@@zeus1815 I thought he said the construction worker found it? When they initially started the demo.
Do we not have cameras up? I mean, no one saw him. The hotels don’t have cameras the streets don’t have cameras when he called dad and told him he was on the stairs. Where was his phone pinging from? I mean, not much of a party town in Savannah, Georgia you think you’d have surveillance
@@Creativehotdog The clothing? i think i am mistaking joshua's case with a 14 year old boy who also was found in a chimney.
He was probably inside, took off his clothes, got locked out, and decided to try to get back in through the chimney. Maybe he was high or something.

Reminds me of that poor young woman who drunkenly wandered a hotel until she ended up in an industrial freezer and died of hypothermia. I can imagine being blackout drunk and randomly trying doors until finding one with a cool breeze, thinking perhaps you've found a way outside for some fresh air and continuing deeper.
Edit: I also just remembered the young man who got lost (I believe drunk, and on a college campus iirc) and managed to get into a server room or other electrical utility space. The room was dark and he tried to find his way by feel. He managed to get a finger through a gap in an electrical box and was electrocuted.

I am adopted and always wanted to know who I came from. So I did 23&Me in 2019-ish and down in Orlando a history professor was doing his kit because he’s into history and thought it would be interesting to do one. His family had no idea his mom gave a baby back in 1968. She never told anyone. Boy it was a huge shock at the start of lockdown in March 2020 when I saw I had new relative connections and it was my half brother!!! Found my whole mom’s side of family by end of that day. Yes, it’s a very long story but also amazing!!! It really looks like when Sophia meets Dorothy . Short bit of Italian woman meets talk Italian woman. 😂😂😂. Oh I was that big secret!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
I did 23 & Me, too, but instead of my DNA, I sent in my dog's DNA. They sent me a whole bunch of stuff about all these places that my dog's ancestors were from, and a list of _human beings_ that my dog might be related to. I learned to not trust any of these DNA testing places, because the first test on any DNA sample should be "is it human or not," and they didn't even bother to do that. But the fact that they matched it to real human contributors tells me that _all_ of the information they send back is entirely made up bullshit.
That's interesting and I don't doubt at all. It reminds me of the PCR test everyone was required to do during covid. Then they come out with a super fast new mRNA vaccine and say it's safe and effective. When you do your own research into the history and ingredients people would not be so trusting.
@@simonmacomber7466 thats complete bullshit, i got one and its linked me accurately to an aunt and 2nd cousin in another country that i know but none of us knew the other had taken a DNA test, also you dont fill out info about your ancestry etc so how does it know? just happens to guess the countries exactly people know about?, you are just repeating something you heard online or you have been inserting your DNA in your dogs mouth
@@simonmacomber7466 this is crazy smh cant trust nothing 100% if she blood tested everyone that means the test worked for her but sending animal dna is next level
I've heard the story of David Glenn Lewis several times before, but I'm here for Mike's telling of the tale. So baffling. What the hell happened there??
All of these stories are just terrible and tragic, though. Heartbreaking for the victims' loved ones.
Psychotic break/fugue state?
@@saramayzu That sounds quite possible. But given his age and previously successful life, it seems unlikely. Certainly a very puzzling case.
I love when Mike covers multiple stories. Please keep these type of videos coming
Yes, absolutely agreed. I liked his original format, but this one adds to it.
I’ve never tried marijuana, and I’ve never been a drinker; but I grew up with pot heads and alcoholics. I’m amazed that alcohol was ever legal, while marijuana has been so criminalized. Everyone knows which one is more dangerous.
I've had the opposite experience. I can drink beer like it's water, but weed turns my world upside down.
By far, most visits to my ER are cannabis-related psychosis, usually from overdosing.
I envy pot smokers. Apparently you can take a couple of puffs and all your anxiety goes away and you can sleep. I'm over here shaking in a corner, seeing colors and stars, heart racing, completely paranoid. 😂
@@heidi7151 Go to any jail some weekend night and ask the inmates there what they did. By and large, their utterances will all begin with, “I got drunk and…“ Also, I have worked at two major, level-1 hospitals in Houston, Texas. We rarely saw anything having to do with marijuana. Every other patient there was driving drunk, working drunk, or just angry drunk and fighting with the people around them - or they were the victims of the same.
Same here. I become forgetful for a few days after a spliff
On the whole I agree, but the strains these days are insane.

You know what, it’s stories like this that make me a little hesitant to stay at hotels sometimes. You could have a body under the bed, in an air vent, in the water tank, etc and never know.

Sorry to hear, been off since June due to injury....waiting for disability payments ...these videos distract me....thanks Mike
I'm 55, and I have been so drunk (two times) that I didn't remember anything about the night.
Luckily, I had my husband to take care of me, but if not, I could have done virtually ANYTHING.
I definitely see how someone could wander into anything if they are extremely drunk.
When he called his dad and said that he was on the stairs, he must have been on the ladder/steps leading up to the air conditioning units.

Hey, Mike! I'm always so stoked when I see you've posted. Thank you for telling these stories so they're not forgotten.
My friend was so drunk once he ended up sleeping in the cardboard packaging of a freezer which was dumped outside his college dorm room. The thing is tho he'd travelled over 50 miles to get from the party to there PLUS he'd not been in college or that room for more than 5 years. That's drunk!
His drunk autopilot hadn't been reset to his current home, glad he was found safe.
At least he was smart enough not to sleep on the ground but in the box even while drunk out of his mind.
For story one, maybe he was looking for the bathroom. There's usually a bathroom off the lobby somewhere. Maybe he thought the a/c panel was a stall
That’s my theory as well. I’ve stayed at that hotel and if he walked in the lobby and went straight back, which it sounds like he did, he would’ve stumbled straight back towards the ballrooms and maintenance areas.
With an enormous loud fan in it?
@@nhmooytis7058 that I do not know

Hey Mike. Love your channel and wish you’d make more content each week. You’re such a humble host and it always a pleasure listening to the show!
I'm loving these shorter-form stories glued together 🖤
These are such sad stories. I’ve heard Joshua Maddox’s story several times and that one especially breaks my heart, every time.
I'm so glad I found your channel! It's my new favorite! Thank you for all your work and levity: )
Larry’s story reminds me of a guy in Swift Current, SK, Canada who disappeared from a Safeway supermarket he worked at in the 80s. He was missing for two months before a coworker confessed that he was showing off his martial arts moves and accidentally killed him and hid the body in the stock room freezer.
I live in Sask and I have never heard that story!!
@@Mephisto-ie2xg I remember hearing about the disappearance on Swift current radio. Then hearing about the arrest two months later. I think the how of the story was published in the Regina paper
Thanks Mike for the great lunch break entertainment! Love from Canada
You can't expect the hotel to accommodate for such things to happen, but you can expect a door meant to be locked to be locked, I'll bet it's sitting unlocked now.
Because it was 3 in the morning and maintenance was probably working.
The soldier story sounds like he got black out drunk and was basically dreaming/hallucinating that he was in an active war zone. It’s the only thing that makes any kind of sense, if you want to call it that. Sad no matter how it happened, obviously. His poor family. 💔
A bartender who was working at the hotel bar that night gave his account. Three dudes had come in, clearly drunk, and were refused service. They got belligerent, the cops were called, and they legged it through the hotel. Robert wedged himself in there trying to hide from the police, cuz drunk people have very bad ideas.
Yes, a refuge. Only it was super loud, so But that's not as wacky as the chimney. Altho the thug who's mentioned-- the thug who'd killed-- but nobody cared, it seems.
@@amberspaulding If suffering PTSD, the noise could, in his mind, be helicopters. Desperation to avoid being shot, he just ran and ran and squeezed himself into a 'safe space'
Also could have also been on benzo's like xaninax and or Valium which with or sometimes without liquor you can do all tht shit and remember none of it. Sad shit for tht family. After I lost my daughter 5 yrs ago tht after they are gone the reason doesn't seem to matter as much. As a father it's the loss tht lives on
Or repairing a ship
Trust me I've been that level of drunk where reality is distorted and ended up completely lost in random places by myself. I'm talking getting lost inside of someone's yard and falling off a wall and down a hill into the street, and calling my friend to say I was lost at the river. You can't make sense of anything when you're that gone. I've also drunkenly been in the hotel back rooms myself. Very unfortunate
My friend drunkenly peed in an outdoor Nativity scene one Christmas Eve. Didn’t remember it when his buddy told him the next day. He was a very good Catholic so he was mortified 😮
Theory, He was so disorientated he thought it was a tank. Drunk and confused, just back from war/combat, he climbed in somehow, maybe the loud sound resembled the sound of a tank engine.
Hilarious! 😂
Hell yes! I needed this! You quickly became one of my favorite TH-camrs brother!
It doesn't take long, does it?! 😂
Could Robert have been suffering from PTSD? He may have entered the darkened hallway and then the noisy AC thinking he was in war. My step-father experienced PTSD from serving in Italy during WWII and believed, time and time again, that he was fighting next to his friend who had his head blown off. It is truly terrifying to suffer such trauma. This was a most tragic story! :(
I think this is the most likely explanation; I think poor Robert thought he was somewhere else
Yeah. I remember the uncle of my ex had PTSD. One day, a tire blew, making a loud sound (similar to gunshot or maybe explosion?). I was very young at the time (18/19), so I didn't understand his reaction. He dove under a desk, curled up in a ball/fetal position, and his wife (exes aunt) told us to leave for now as she was crawling under the desk with him, trying to comfort him and convince him he wasn't still at war. I just remember both of them sobbing, and he was trying to fight her off, she was trying to hug him and bring him back to reality. It was so so sad, seeing a grown man freaking out that badly, and I always thought man, he must have seen some real SHYT in the war (Vietnam, I think, maybe WWII). I never forgot that, and now that I'm older, it seems all the more profound. 😢
Iris station with a guy that had PTSD from Vietnam and we would all be in a different Barracks except for a few guys and this one gentleman he would run up and down the hall screaming and yelling. It was super scary now I have PTSD from Afghanistan and Kuwait and I take medication however I still will get up and walk around the house and do stuff will not remember it can I get up I'll go okay what happened for me everything has to be in a certain spot and I totally do not remember it at all it's extremely scary
This was my thought as well
I was guessing tinnitus. In his drunken stupor, he was trying to find a place of relief that'll help drown out his tinnitus.
In the Joshua case I truely believe it was a dare from the friend to get into the chimney and then he blocked him in there and left him. Truly sad no matter what happened, hope one day the family finds the truth or at least some form of closure.
The first story reminds me of a friend of mine - I thought, "yeah I could totally see Chuck getting drunk and doing that." Some people do insane things when they’ve been drinking, but that is way up there on the crazy scale.
I feel like he had a flash back or something
A buddy of mine brought home a living swan once... No idea how he managed to not get injured by it, but yeah. It was fun the next morning trying to get the overgrown chicken out of the apartment
@@cctakedown333 hahaha that’s a story worthy of a scene from The Hangover. When I was a teenager we stole a Shoney’s Big Boy statue and when we sobered up we realized that it was going to be pretty hard to hide. The guy I was referring and myself were in Spain partying with some women, and for some reason he leaped out of bed naked and ran out of the hotel and made it two blocks before I caught up with him. He looked at me asked ,WHAT’S HAPPENING?!” He later said he had it in his head that he thought he’d been robbed and I guess thought he was chasing the robbers. But still, the guy in that air vent story had to take a lot of steps where he made decisions about what to do, so whatever his crazy intent was he believed in it fully.
No2 the chimney! Never underestimate the laziness of some local police forces? No crime No investigation(work) necessary. Crime? And lots of work and paperwork...
Sounds like the the sheriffs department in my county
Regarding the last segment: you can program a VCR to start recording at a certain time so he could have left his house much earlier. Doesn’t explain why he left or why he went where he did, but the timeline makes more sense.
The opening melody for TC rocks! Love it, every time. ❤
Wow, I'm from Colorado and remember when they found this guy in the chimney. They definitely said it was an accident and left out the details. 😢 This is the first time I've heard his clothes were inside.
Also steel bars at top also weird
Great stories !! The last one was especially chilling. It seems the quiet ones are sometimes up to something ! Thank u Mike !!! ❤
So I have definitely gotten shitfaced by myself and ended up spacing out ON MY PHONE in a neighborhood I actually know and realized I'd gone a couple blocks and had to think sobering thoughts to get home. It's amazing that I haven't been kidnapped although I have toned it down.
RE: Last story
My family had one of the first VCRs, and we had many, many, more after that. Some older VCRs had a play/record knob similar to one on a reel to reel. You could physically turn the knob to the right or left. Others had buttons you pressed down, like an old hand-held cassette player, where you press play and record at the same time to record. With one of these, you could use it in conjunction with a manual outlet timer to record programs. I wonder if perhaps he had one of those, and the police didn't notice it.
Thank you Mike! You are entertaining, knowledgeable, and you are phenomenal at telling said knowledge. Thank you for everything that you do Mike!
Gotta love Mike ❤️ came aross his channel in lock down, watched back to back ,now well can't do without him ❤
Most of these cases (I already knew two of them) remind me of Henry McCabe's case. It's literally the strangest and most unexplainable case ever. They say it was an accidental drowning. But the voicemail recording he "left" while drowning doesn't make sense. He had his phone on him when they found him in the lake: cellphone in one pocket, battery in the other. And the sounds he makes on that recording are the most horrific sounds I've heard a human make (if you can find the full thing, it's about 1 minute, and really, really hard to find). He's also got connections with the government back in Africa. It's all so unnerving and unsettling. You could cover it, Mike.
He Def had
Very freaky one

I just stumbled across your channel while looking for something to catch my interest and help me pass my spare time in a way that kept my mind active. I love your accent - I am an Aussie. I love your delivery and presentation. And your bizarre stories that just leave me with several thoughts "How does this shit happen " "What portals do these people come from " "What phenomenon leads to these bizarre mysteries and outcomes "
I am going to binge on your entire content. Thank you for giving me something thought provoking and entertaining. Something that doesn't make me feel like I have wasted my time.
Big hugs and kisses from me
This was me a month ago and I’m still binging!!
Welcome! The people in Mike’s comments are the nicest ones I’ve ever seen. You’re gonna love this channel.
I love these bizarre mystery videos you've been doing!!! Love ya Mike ❤
Robert's case gives Elisa Lam vibes - before Mike even mentioned it, I immediately thought of her situation. Or Kenneka Jenkins. *How* are people able to get into these spaces.
I immediately thought of Kenneka too. Somehow her case was memorable for me.
Such a sad and strange death, her poor mother .
My lady says im real observant but i cant be the only one to notice the odd number of people going missing in big hotels with all of em being drunk and having weird circumstances around them hmm maybe ill start my own channel 🤣 but ill always watch ThatChapter! 💜
You are DEFINITELY telling the truth !!!!! Look at the Kenneka Jenkins case !
I would be so nervous of being caught in an area that was off limits and I wasn't supposed to have been in ("no unauthorized access"), especially while I was deeply inebriated...
Perhaps if I was really drunk, out of my mind - like it sounds these two guys were - I might have snuck into a hotel to try to find an empty room to sleep it off in. Sometimes when one has had too much to drink then their hair-brain schemes seem like a great idea. Not sure why he just left his friend... Maybe he needed to relieve himself... and then his plan changes from there. So, he's sneaking around the hotel corridors and service passages... it's kind of exciting... but also dangerous - being caught could get him into trouble... So, when he hears someone coming... he decides to sneak into the aircon hatch... just for a minute... until the employee he suspects he heard approaching passes.... so he steps in, pulls the door shut... and shuffles backwards into his little hidey-hole and then.... BAM!!! KRRRT-KRRR, CHUCK-CHUCK-CHUCK - his arm gets sucked into the aircon fan.... ? His screams drowned out by the noise of the fans....
The Rey Rivera case (Baltimore) _HAUNTS_ me! He didn't drink, either! Have you heard of that one?
Definitely agree with you on the government involvement in the last case. That’s one of the wildest cases of unexplained deaths I’ve ever heard. You are such a gem Mike. Love watching your videos. ❤ love ya!
Went back to work today! This came just at a perfect time for me to sit back n relax! Thanks Mike love from NJ per usual ❤
Hope you had a Merry Labor Day. It was my Dad's favorite holiday because the kids were in school back in my day. It was his only true day off without responsibilities except cooking.
Your accent is absolutely delightful! Great stories.
I have not heard of these stories and I really appreciate you sharing them.
We just had a story in the news a few days ago about that Wells Fargo employee that was dead for four days in her cubicle before they noticed
I saw that, so sad.
It also sounds like Wells Fargo doesn't expect any work done by employees. Whatever her job was... they didn't notice it wasn't getting done.
I also wonder where the custodians were? At my work a custodian empties the garbage/recycling out of every cube every night...I'm sure Virgil would notice if we were dead at our cube.
@@mrsleep0000 as a former custodian, I agree. When I cleaned offices late at night, I went to every desk, every trash can, every room. How does someone overlook a deceased employee for 4 days? Shocking, really.
@@mrsleep0000 It's been reported that the woman worked in an "underpopulated" area of the building, which I take to mean that many of the employees in the area worked remote. And if most of them were remote, it might be that a cleaning crew only came once a week or something, since there wouldn't be enough trash to justify their being there nightly.
That last one is giving me the creepy crawlies... i mean, what on earth happened there? Poor man
Honestly, poor wife and kid. Without proof of his death, his wife couldn’t move on. He just ran away? My ex did that. It was very hard to get divorced (courts are hesitant to grant without proof you tried to find and get consent) or sell the house. Not to mention raising 3 kids with no help.
"True tick and tin" my husband and i love you!!!! THANK YOU!!!
Love the accent!
The first case feels super suspicious to me. It also reminds me of how Wade Steffey found his way in what was supposed to be a LOCKED electrical room at Purdue University and got electricuted, and was only found when someone heard noises coming from the room
Sounds like negligence
@@sierrasicard4593 I think an accidentally unsecured door is about as mysterious as that case gets. Both of these cases and the young woman who drunkenly wandered into a hotel's industrial freezer are very similar. It's not impossible for blackout drunk people to wander into weird places, even ones that should be locked. Things get left accidentally (or intentionally) unlocked all the time. Could have been someone propped the door to the electrical room because they were coming and going, then left thru the interior door and forgot they had left it propped. There's a zillion reasons for that sort of thing, and it happens all the time. It's just usually not brought to our attention much until the swiss cheese model lines up and something tragic happens.
Ooof.... Now I remember why this sounded familiar. Peace be to both of them
@@corvinredactedthat girl in the freezer, I think the "friends" knew more especially when you watch the video footage and they kinda treated her like a nuisance even while they were partying
@Yorokobi224 People get annoyed with drunk friends all the time. I think irresponsible friends getting irritated and brushing her off to avoid interrupting their own night is a much less extraordinary explanation than some kind of conspiracy. There's CCTV footage of the kitchen from the entire night that means they would have had to convince her to go to the kitchen and into the freezer alone, meanwhile banking on her not being able to figure out how to get herself out again with the emergency release button. Honestly, I think we try too hard sometimes to make things more exciting and theatrical than they really are.
I’ve been plastered enough to walk off a sidewalk falling into a creek. Has no idea I was even near a creek. I could see that guy being hammered enough to think he was somewhere else.

I used to spend 1 week in 4 in Savannah as part of my job. It was really historic, beautiful, and generally safe. As a woman alone, I sometimes took my dog and sometimes didn't when I walked alone at night. I'm a rational adult, but a couple of times, I got spooked - not by people, who were terribly friendly all the time, but by the ancient spooky ghostiness of the place at night. Major eerie Juju, y'all!
There's a famous novel about that. _Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil_ . So good!
I would have to agree with you on that… SAV is pretty creepy at night and the Spanish Moss, Haunted Stories and Ghost Walks do not help! 😂
Savannah was the port used to import slaves. Beautiful only for YOUR ancestors
I moved to Savannah December 2002 into a 4 story brownstone on 104 Jones St. I had a week before the TV and telephone would be installed. When I walked around I was told to leave the area immediately by a random passerby while on a pay phone. Many other times was told never go out after dark. It was shocking. I adopted my first dog as an adult that week from the shelter. We left Savannah three months later never to return.

@2degucitas I've wondered the same lol but it does
as a western washington native, if he flew in via seatac i can confirm that it is really weird where that last guy was found given the time frame. homie was on the other side of the mountains, he was in eastern washington, which is like, not only a completely different place to western washington, but also, he would have had to drive a considerable distance and gone through the pass to get to the other side. if no car was found near him, then he had to have gotten a ride from someone. maybe even just hitchhiked, but someone had to drive him there. and whatever they were driving would have to be outfitted for the pass. depending on the weather that could mean tire chains, which not everyone has.
super weird.
that first case reminds me of a case that happened at our local shopping centre. people were complaing of a strong smell for ages premating through the shopping centre. months later they started an upgrade of the air con and found a guy mummified upside down in the air con tubing. he had tried to break in to the then woolco thought the ventilation system and got stuck upside down and died.
