In celebration of St. Patrick's Day, this week’s journey takes us to the enchanting city of Galway, Ireland - a sister city to Seattle, Washington. Galway is not just known for it's stunning scenery or songs about pretty girls, it is also steeped in folklore and mysteries that rival even our own haunted locales in the Pacific Northwest.

We begin our exploration with the whimsical world of fairies, delving into the ancient tales of Knockma Hill, where the fairy king Finvarra reigns. But be warned, for disturbing the fairy cairns or forts may incur the wrath of these mischievous beings. Moving on to the eerie depths of Galway's lakes, we encounter a plethora of cryptids, from the enigmatic creatures of Black Lake and Coole Lake to the terrifying Loathsome Creature of Lough Fadda. Could these lake monsters be descendants of the legendary Dobhar-chú? Our journey takes a darker turn as we delve into the phenomenon of Spontaneous Human Combustion, unraveling the tragic fate of Michael Faherty and the mysteries surrounding his unfortunate demise.

We wouldn't dare leave the spirits of Galway behind. From phantom pirate ships haunting the coast to the tragic tale of Castle Daly's final party turned massacre, the ghosts of Ireland's past linger amidst the ruins. We encounter the Knocking Girl of Rathpeak House, whose ghostly presence seeks solace in the mortal realm. And who could forget the sorrowful Phantom Sad Old Man of Maam Cross, a specter from the depths of history? But perhaps the most peculiar of all Galway legends are the Short Men in Green of the Aran Islands, whose encounter leaves a young boy questioning the boundaries between myth and reality. Join us as we traverse the landscapes of Galway, where every shadow holds a secret and every corner is steeped in legend. For in this land of ancient tales and modern mysteries, the line between fact and folklore blurs into the realm of the unknown.

took was one visit to visitgalway.ie, which is a website. 98 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,000 To learn that Galway is just as creepy as its Washington sister. 99 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,000 Well, that makes sense. 100 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:48,000 The site has several paranormal stories listed and we're going to go through some of them. 101 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,000 Great. 102 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:55,000 Because there was too many to fit into one episode and I think I'm going to make a Patreon bonus out of the rest. 103 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,000 Oh, my gosh. 104 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,000 Yeah. 105 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,000 That's a lot. 106 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000 There was a lot. 107 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,000 All right. 108 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,000 So let us start off a little light so we don't torture Caitlyn too much. 109 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000 With some fairies. 110 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,000 Is that okay? 111 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:17,000 I feel like you're lying and I was literally about to ask you when do the fairies come in? 112 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:24,000 Because fairies are very prominent in the Galway culture. 113 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000 I'm giving you understand. 114 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:36,000 Around 1846, there was a fairy battle at Knockma Hill, which we tried to look up the pronunciation for it. 115 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000 And there wasn't one. 116 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000 So we're going with Knockma. 117 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,000 It's spelled like you would knock on something and then M.A. 118 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,000 Yeah. 119 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,000 Knockma. 120 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,000 Knockma. 121 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:56,000 The battle was thought to have been between the fairies of Connacht and those of Ulster. 122 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,000 And they think it was a rebellion against the fairy king. 123 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,000 This one had a pronunciation with it. 124 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,000 Finvarra (Finnbheara). 125 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,000 Oh. 126 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,000 It's weird because it has a V in it, but it looks like it's pronounced like a B. 127 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,000 Oh, I came across that name and I was like, who's this? 128 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,000 He was the ruler of the Connacht fairies. 129 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000 He resided on Knockma Hill. 130 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,000 Finvarra was apparently generous and wise. 131 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:32,000 But he kind of also like to abduct and force women to become his wives. 132 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:39,000 As long as they were beautiful, he wasn't really picky, he would take human or fae. 133 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,000 Okay. 134 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,000 Great. 135 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000 Because so, you know, I'm safe. 136 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,000 Well, first of all, you better watch out. 137 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,000 I'm going to hug this whole situation right up. 138 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,000 Okay. 139 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000 Also super gross. 140 00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:01,000 And I know we all realize that of course every woman's worth is just determined by her looks. 141 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:06,000 But yeah, I hate that. 142 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,000 Yeah. 143 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,000 So he wasn't that great. 144 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,000 No. 145 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,000 Yeah. 146 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,000 Thank you. 147 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:23,000 So Knockma Hill is thought to be a fairy fortress as well as a portal to the otherworld, which is like the fairy realm, I think. 148 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,000 Oh. 149 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,000 Yeah. 150 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000 I didn't read too much into it, but from what I've heard, that's what it sounds like. 151 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,000 Okay. 152 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,000 Where humans feel a presence, kind of like they're being watched, I assume. 153 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:43,000 They see strange lights hear music and voices or even run into Finvarra himself. 154 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000 So watch out. 155 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,000 I. 156 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,000 Okay. 157 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,000 Yeah. 158 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:56,000 If you could just point to where that is on the map and I will just play in my trip everywhere, but there. 159 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:08,000 But if you do go make sure to hug it up, but whatever you do, do not disturb the fairy cairns and or fairy forts, their circular stone enclosures. 160 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,000 Or you will more than likely piss off some fairies. 161 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000 And that's never a good idea. 162 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,000 Like ever. 163 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,000 Don't do that. 164 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,000 Okay. 165 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,000 But it could potentially be good luck for you if you respect and honor the fairies while you're there. 166 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:28,000 I just feel like it seems too risky and maybe I would just avoid it altogether. 167 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,000 You know, I'd still do it. 168 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000 Of course you would. 169 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000 They're fairies. 170 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,000 Oh my god. 171 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,000 That's that just really sums us up. 172 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,000 That's us in a nutshell. 173 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000 Yeah. 174 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,000 Well, should we move on to some cryptids? 175 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,000 Sure. 176 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000 They're not ghosts. 177 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:56,000 I mean, yeah, that's true. 178 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,000 There are several lake monsters just in Galway alone. 179 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:07,000 The creature of the black lake was caught by some fisherman in 1962. 180 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:15,000 The creature was the size of a cow with stumpy legs, small ears, and a nose on its horn. 181 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:21,000 And I said that backwards. 182 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,000 And a horn on its nose. 183 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,000 So is it like a rhino/hippo? 184 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,000 A rhinippo? 185 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,000 Rhinotamus? 186 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,000 Hiphopanonymous? 187 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,000 Okay. 188 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,000 If anyone gets the Hiphopanonymous joke, hit me up. 189 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,000 All right. 190 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,000 Okay. 191 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,000 Moving on from the Hiphopanonymous. 192 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:57,000 The Coole lake creature who has been spotted by locals since 1896 is described to be 15 feet long, fish like with scales and a long neck and a horse like head. 193 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,000 What? 194 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000 I feel like we've heard before. 195 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,000 Okay. 196 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:10,000 The creature at LOUGH AUNA has been spotted since the 1960s and is described almost the same way. 197 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:19,000 It was 15 to 18 feet long, kind of an eel-like body with scales and a horse like head again. 198 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,000 Oh, well. 199 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,000 What's going on here? 200 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,000 Are they migrating? 201 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,000 We don't know. 202 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,000 I mean, that's some inner species, shenanigans. 203 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:34,000 This one, though, has the added details of flippers, large eyes, and large nostrils, which rude. 204 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,000 Like, don't call someone's nostrils large. 205 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,000 Yeah. 206 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000 Leave the nostrils out of this. 207 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,000 I feel like a horse like head kind of implies that they have a big nose. 208 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,000 Okay. 209 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,000 Don't rub it in. 210 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,000 I, yeah. 211 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,000 I feel like at a certain point, like, are you just adding insult to injury? 212 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,000 Come on. 213 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,000 For real. 214 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,000 Yeah. 215 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,000 I wrote all the better to snort you with my dear. 216 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:04,000 Because it said to snort loudly. 217 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:10,000 The descriptions are actually very similar to the Irish legend of the Dobhar-chú, meaning 218 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,000 "water hound" or "hound of the deep," which I kind of like that. 219 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000 It sounds like Adele song. 220 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,000 It does. 221 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000 I literally just going to say, like, Adele's puppy or... 222 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,000 That's funny. 223 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000 We were both thinking the same thing. 224 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,000 Of course. 225 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:35,000 So, this is a cross between an otter and a dog, but also sometimes an otter-like creature 226 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000 with a horse like head. 227 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,000 So, kind of varies, I guess, it depends on who you are, how you describe things. 228 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,000 Okay. 229 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000 It's so bizarre. 230 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:50,000 These are apparently very aggressive, and they prey on humans and other animals. 231 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:57,000 And apparently, a dying Dobhar-chú will whistle loudly to signal its mate to come and get some 232 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,000 revenge. 233 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:05,000 So, like, if it's attacking you, you can't really even try to kill it, because the mate will 234 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,000 come and get its revenge. 235 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000 Watch it. 236 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,000 But, like, there's more of them. 237 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,000 Right. 238 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000 Okay. 239 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:25,000 Thought this was sort of a lone biology mix-up in the wild, and now you're telling me there's 240 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,000 more. 241 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,000 Yeah, this is making me think of like all of our water cryptids here. 242 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,000 Like, they're all kind of described the same way. 243 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,000 Yeah. 244 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,000 It's interesting. 245 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:42,000 Is it interesting or is it perhaps terrifying? 246 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,000 Because they're aggressive towards humans. 247 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,000 It could be both. 248 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,000 Two things can be true. 249 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,000 Thrilling. 250 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000 When it's interesting and terrifying, it's thrilling. 251 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,000 Oh, right. 252 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,000 I like that. 253 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:02,520 Next up is the LOATHSOME CREATURE AT LOUGH FADDA. 254 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:10,160 This predator has been spotted since the 1950s, described as having smooth skin, a shark-like 255 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:15,000 head, and of course, containing a mouthful of sharp teeth. 256 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,000 I mean, yeah. 257 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,600 It's got a shark-like head, so, like, wouldn't be complete without the teeth. 258 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:28,680 I was prepared to assume, but it has also been described as a long eel-like body and a 259 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:29,680 what-kids. 260 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:30,680 That's right. 261 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,680 A horse-like head. 262 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:33,680 Oh. 263 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:40,000 Yeah, I feel like I should have gotten that one, but I'm really disturbed about the... 264 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,000 Yeah. 265 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,000 Something about eels. 266 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,000 I'm just... 267 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,000 I can't. 268 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,000 I love eels. 269 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,000 They're so cute. 270 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,000 Okay. 271 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,000 We... 272 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,000 I love them. 273 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:54,600 For people that are so alike, we are just also so very different. 274 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,040 But it's interesting, like, a horse-like head is completely different than a shark-like 275 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,040 head, so which... 276 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,040 Yeah. 277 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,280 Please tell me which one. 278 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:05,280 Yeah. 279 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,120 We need answers, dammit. 280 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,120 Ireland. 281 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,120 Call us. 282 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,120 Yeah. 283 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,120 These do. 284 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:17,760 They call it loathsome because they say it's aggressive and dangerous. 285 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,760 And it could possibly be the manifestation of an ancient curse. 286 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:22,760 Dumb it. 287 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:23,760 Great. 288 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:24,760 Yeah. 289 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:32,160 But others believe it to be shy and harmless and possibly a guardian of the lake, so maybe... 290 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:37,240 Maybe to the people who are being naughty to the lake, it shows up as a shark and is aggressive. 291 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,240 I mean, yeah. 292 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,240 I mean, that could kind of make sense. 293 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:41,240 I don't know. 294 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,240 That does make sense. 295 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,240 We solved the case. 296 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,240 Yeah. 297 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:50,320 There are several other lake creatures specifically called eels. 298 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,320 No. 299 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,600 I'm not into it. 300 00:15:53,600 --> 00:16:03,440 We have the giant eel of LOUGH GRANEY, the large eel at BALLYNAHINCH Lake, and the horned 301 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,240 eel at Locke. 302 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,120 We're going to guess on the pronunciation of this one because we couldn't find it, but 303 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,360 I will spell it for you. 304 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:12,360 Yeah. 305 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,520 NAHIOON. 306 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,520 So I'm going to guess NAHIOON. 307 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:20,520 NAHIOON. 308 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:21,520 NAHIOON. 309 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:22,520 NAHIOON. 310 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,360 I'm so sorry if it's wrong. 311 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,000 Please, someone from Ireland call me immediately. 312 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,000 Yeah. 313 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:35,640 And this last one, the horned eel, is the only one of them described with two horns on 314 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,000 its head. 315 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,920 So not only is it creepy, Caitlyn thinks it's creepy, an eel, but it has horns on its head 316 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,920 as well. 317 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:54,400 I just don't understand why we are allowing these eels to just what they get to pick their 318 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,400 own accessories. 319 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,120 Well, some people think it might be due to radiation or pollution. 320 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,120 Oh, great. 321 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,720 So then actually that kind of makes us this whole. 322 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,960 But I mean, how many really knows for sure? 323 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,920 Next, we're going to talk about one that made me think of a story I talked about recently. 324 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:19,080 This is the “bear faced" man at Woodlawn train station. 325 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:25,840 And it kind of sounds like the very rudely named "dog face" boy of Ashland, which we don't 326 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:26,840 agree with. 327 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:27,840 And we renamed him Johnny. 328 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:28,840 We're not fans. 329 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:29,840 We don't like that. 330 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:30,840 No, thank you. 331 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:31,840 No, thank you. 332 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:32,840 That was the Lithia Park episode. 333 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:37,880 So if you haven't listened yet, it's the one where we brought back Shakespeare again. 334 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:45,640 And then popularizing Shakespeare since 2024. 335 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:53,680 Two people claim to have seen a man with a quote, “Bear like face." 336 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:54,960 I don't care for that. 337 00:17:54,960 --> 00:18:00,280 This is in the late 19th to early 20th century time frame. 338 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,840 They witnessed him groaning and holding his stomach. 339 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:10,120 And when he saw them looking, he apparently said, "Don't speak to me." 340 00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:11,120 And walked away. 341 00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:13,840 "Okay, bye." 342 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:19,560 So he was just speaking normal, but they were apparently shocked and scared by what they 343 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:20,560 saw. 344 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:28,920 But my theory is that maybe this man had the same condition as Johnny - Hypertrichosis, where 345 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,880 you grow hair on other parts of your body, other than your head. 346 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,600 And this person was clearly in pain for whatever reason. 347 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:44,120 And probably didn't want two people staring at him, like, scared, with scared looks on their 348 00:18:44,120 --> 00:18:45,120 faces, you know? 349 00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:46,120 Yeah. 350 00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:47,920 So he just left and said, "Don't talk to me." 351 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,760 Like, that doesn't seem paranormal to me at all. 352 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:51,760 No. 353 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,160 No, not at all. 354 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,960 That seems like I'm unwell. 355 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,360 Please get the fuck out of my face. 356 00:18:57,360 --> 00:18:58,360 I... 357 00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:00,400 That could be me on any given day. 358 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,200 So if you think that's paranormal. 359 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,200 Right. 360 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,760 And especially if you're probably used to people looking at you like that, you're probably 361 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:08,760 annoyed. 362 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,280 Yeah, no kidding. 363 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:16,000 I just hope you ate, you know, probably ate some bad cheese or milk or something and had 364 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,000 like a tummy ache. 365 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,880 I hope it wasn't anything super serious. 366 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:19,880 I hope it was okay. 367 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:20,880 Yeah. 368 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:21,880 Like, take a picture. 369 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,880 It'll less longer. 370 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:24,880 Yeah. 371 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:31,280 And I would assume if he had like a full bear head, like if it was actually bear, like, 372 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:37,280 a bear shape and like with ears and stuff, like they would have said a full ass bear head. 373 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:38,280 Yeah. 374 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,760 But they said "bear like" and the other one said dog like so it just makes me think. 375 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,760 But just had a hairy face. 376 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:45,760 Yeah. 377 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,160 Or it's just like a dig at his appearance, you know? 378 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,160 Yeah. 379

00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,640 I don't know. 383 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,120 Spontaneous human combustion. 384 00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:04,400 Oh, god damn it. 385 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,560 I even warned you this was coming. 386 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,280 I know, but you misled me. 387 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:13,880 I was trying to think of like something Sinéad and Connacht. 388 00:20:13,880

397 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,400 Sinéad Humps. 398 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,400 Connacht. 399 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:29,400 No disrespect. 400 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,640 Love both of you. 401 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:40,600 According to the National Library of Medicine, quote, the term spontaneous human combustion 402 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:45,560 refers to a situation when a human body is found with significant portions of the 403 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:52,760 middle parts of the body reduced to ashes, much less damaged to the head and extremities, 404 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,680 and minimal damage to the direct surroundings of the body. 405 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:03,520 Typically no observable source of ignition is found in the vicinity of the victim, and 406 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,920 a bad smelling oily substance is noted. 407 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:07,920 I hate it. 408 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:08,920 I hate it. 409 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:09,920 I hate it. 410 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,920 I wonder what that could be. 411 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,440 I don't know when they hate it. 412 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:21,760 I'll tell you, people were once completely baffled by this, as was I before I read this, 413 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,040 to be honest with you. 414 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:27,920 I was kind of, I kind of missed the mystery of it now, but I'll explain it for you. 415 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:28,920 Okay. 416 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:29,920 Cool. 417 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:36,760 And there were all kinds of theories from paranormal to the Lord shall smite thee. 418 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,760 Oh, well. 419 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,840 People literally thought. 420 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,120 People were being smited. 421 00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:50,560 You know, the Lord be smitin' in mysterious ways. 422 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,240 Be smitin'. 423 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:59,040 But the website does go on to explain that they've done studies to show how this happens 424 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,400 and it's not so spontaneous after all. 425 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:12,560 There is a fire source, but it happens so precisely igniting body fat in a slow, insulated 426 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:13,560 burn. 427 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:14,560 Okay. 428 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:15,560 Okay. 429 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:22,440 Quote, the term spontaneous human combustion has nuances, which are not applicable in this 430 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,840 situation or to these modern times. 431 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:31,080 Therefore we suggest a new term, fat wick burns. 432 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,080 Sir. 433 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,080 Sir. 434 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:38,520 So spontaneous human combustion is now called fat wick burn. 435 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,520 Okay. 436 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:47,120 Well, that is offensive and also no, just no. 437 00:22:47,120 --> 00:22:54,560 I was really going to try hard to hone in on like a different aspect and make it about like, 438 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,160 oh, it's not spontaneous anymore. 439 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:02,280 So is it perhaps premeditated human combustion? 440 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,360 And I guess we're going to go a different way. 441 00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:05,360 So great. 442 00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:06,360 Cool. 443 00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:11,760 The situation is sad and unfortunate, but one thing that is a little relieving if there 444 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:19,600 is one thing is that it does say for the body fat to start melting and ignite, the victim 445 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,680 does already have to have been passed. 446 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,160 So at least they're not burning alive. 447 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:34,920 So how they explain it is that an ember or like if you're talking a cigarette or something, 448 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:39,760 it'll like fall and it'll burn a hole through the clothes and then it'll start to like burn 449 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:46,000 through the skin and then like ignite the fat underneath and then it just kind of starts 450 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,240 to burn inside the body like insulated almost. 451 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,240 Oh my God. 452 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:52,240 Isn't that great? 453 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,480 It's it's so crazy still like it's not any less weird. 454 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:57,480 Ah. 455 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:04,640 Well, in 2010 this actually happened to a 76 year old Galway man named Michael Faherty. 456 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:10,760 Although it was officially ruled spontaneous human combustion, obviously with what we know 457 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,880 now, it most likely was the fat WIC burn. 458 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,600 No, it's never going to be that. 459 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,400 I'm never calling it that. 460 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,400 No, FWB. 461 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,280 No, no. 462 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:28,080 He was found next to a fireplace, but when they investigated they found no evidence of it 463 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,080 being the cause of Faherty's death. 464 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:38,360 But he probably passed away, you know, maybe of natural causes while he was laying there. 465 00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:43,840 In an ember probably floated down from the fire, again burning a little hole through the 466 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,760 clothes and then through the skin and then igniting the fat. 467 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:48,760 No. 468 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:49,760 No. 469 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:55,440 Yeah, but it's still crazy that like none of the surroundings catch on fire because like 470 00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:02,600 the floor below and the ceiling above him were damaged, but then like nothing else. 471 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,520 So it is kind of weird that it doesn't like keep catching things on fire. 472 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,560 It's just kind of like smolders and it's own. 473 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:10,960 Oh God. 474 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:11,960 Yeah. 475 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,400 I didn't want to finish that. 476 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:19,000 I don't want you to either. 477 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,240 What's nervous laughter everyone nervous. 478 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,800 I've never liked anything less than this I think. 479 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:30,400 Yeah, but it's just one of those things where like the conditions have to be just right, 480 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,360 which is why it's like super uncommon. 481 00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:35,840 It's like a Goldilocks phenomenon. 482 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,120 Like yeah, I guess I really hate that. 483 00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:39,120 I hate it. 484 00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:40,280 I hate it so much. 485 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,080 Yeah. 486 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:49,200 There's a couple other theories too, but I think I don't think they've ever like been proven 487 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,600 or but I didn't dig into those. 488 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,360 You can research them on your own if you'd like. 489 00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:58,160 I don't think that I will. 490 00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,160 It's not smiting. 491 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:00,160 I'll tell you what it's not. 492 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,160 It's not smiting. 493 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,160 Are you sure? 494 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,640 Because like I said, the Lord be smitin' and in mysterious ways. 495 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:06,640 Okay. 496 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:07,640 Smite you. 497 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,760 Smite you over there. 498 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,880 I want that on a t-shirt. 499

--> 00:26:20,600 He won't smite you. 503 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:26,960 I just think it's like really rude to say that it's due to smiting because like, oh yeah, 504 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,200 your loved one died in this horrific way. 505 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,840 They were probably a terrible person and God prob sauce hated them. 506 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,840 Yeah, this is God just wanted them dead. 507 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,880 Like, like, yikes. 508 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:40,880 What? 509 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,920 That's so fucked up. 510 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,320

the daily family. 549 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:17,880 They like to host what sounded to me very Gatsby-esque. 550 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:18,880 Right. 551 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,520 Just thinking is

stayed over, which is fine. 558 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,960 I mean, they had the space. 559 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,800 Okay. 560 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:44,400 But as the "thunder rolled and the
