hey guys what's up it's Charlie here and today we're going to be looking at the
scary story of the real Ronald McDonald we all know the character Ronald
McDonald of McDonald's from our childhoods but did you know the very
scary story behind the real-life version of this guy in this video we're going to
look at that and also for more very scary things that actually happened but
before we get too scared why not subscribe and press the notification
bell too so first let's look at the story of the reel of Ronald McDonald
between the years 1991 and 1999 a McDonald's used Ronald McDonald's in
every single one of their commercials he was the mascot of McDonald's and kids
either loved him or were terrified of him
now between the years 1991 to 1999 it was played by a guy named Bruce jack
dolfe II got a couple of times there were stand-in actors when Bruce couldn't
do it one of these guys was David Hussey but he was pretty normal the guy we're
going to look at is called Joe maggot joy Maggard was a lighting's operator on
various sets of movies and TV shows and a few times when Bruce couldn't portray
Ronald McDonald he would do it instead but in around 1995 that's when joy
mccard began acting very very strangely at first he called all of the media and
said he was taking over the character he said Bruce would no longer play it and
instead he worked but this turned out to be totally false he was just a stand-in
for two commercials in 1998 Joey began phoning people and scaring
them he would talk in the manner of a clown kind of like you did in the ronald
mcdonald adverts but instead of mentioning burgers and fries he would
threaten these people over the phone later on that year he was charged by a
policeman for carrying a weapon and later that year he was caught again for
harassing people pretending to be ronald mcdonald here wasn't sentenced to any
jail time but he did have to take mandatory anger management class
he even appeared in a documentary named Ronald in this he says he's now retired
from playing that Ronald McDonald but he said he was still playing the character
up to 2007 despite the fact that McDonald's stopped using the character
in 1999 I can't believe the Ronald McDonald standin was actually making
scary phone calls to people it's also very weird he lied about being the main
actor for Ronald McDonald for so many years
today he's 63 years old and who knows what Joe's doing but his story sure is
scary and interesting the next scary story on this list we have to look at is
the phone stalker have you ever got a mysterious phone call that just didn't
seem right maybe he picked up the phone heard breathing and then the call ended
well maybe you got a call from someone you don't know who knows just too much
about you well in 2007 a few families got a series of very very scary phone
calls the caller wouldn't identify himself but he knew exactly what the
families were doing and what they were wearing so this guy was clearly somehow
watching these families he was calling but they didn't know where he was or who
he was not only that in the course the guy said he would take the family's
lives the calls would always happen at night but could happen at any hour it
might be 8 p.m. or 4 a.m. in the calls they said they would take the children's
lives or their pets lives and what's even more strange is somehow the caller
neither names of their kids their pets and even their grandparents once they
even call the policeman but later that night they got an anonymous voicemail of
that very same phone call so clearly the scary caller was also
wiretapping these families one family named the Cunha called family had these
calls for months police listened to these calls live to make sure that no
one thing.you was just making them up they heard a scratchy voice man saying
awful things about the family eventually police were able to trace the call but
it traced back to their very own phone they were use it obviously this
literally made no sense and they'd even traced back to their phone when it was
turned off now the families no longer get these calls but to this day they
still don't know who was behind these calls maybe it was a whole team of
people and the most popular theory is they were somehow tracking
using their cellphones how else would they know exactly where they were where
they've been and what they were wearing also how else were the callers record
their private phone calls but how would this very scary caller be able to hack
their cell phones cameras locations and calls and not only that why were they
doing it the caller never followed through on any of the threats and never
harmed the families physically by just imagine how scary it would be having
this phone stalker harass you all the time the next thing we're going to look
at is called unit 731 we all know that World War two brought out the worst in
scientists there were terrible human experiments happening all the time but
you may think the worst of these experiments would take place in Germany
but no it actually took place in Japan everyone knows Chinese people were
treated terribly by Imperial Japan during ww2 but nothing was worse than
what happened in a place named unit 731 this was a Japanese bio war unit and it
was a place where the worst human experiments in history were conducted
one of these experiments was called the frostbite test this was where a person
was taken into a freezing cold room and left there 24/7 this person would then
stay in this room until they had ice forming over their skin they also
carried out various surgeries on people to see their insides they did this while
the people were alive and with no anesthetics that's because if they
thought if they use someone who'd already passed on their experiments may
be affected also they didn't hold back on who they did this to if they would
experiment on men women and even children in unit 731 they'd also
experiment with germ warfare this was basically giving people very dangerous
diseases to see what would happen to them during the years 1937 to 1945 over
3,000 people passed away in unit 731 and it's really crazy to think some of this
stuff was happening when our grandparents were alive it really goes
to show what can happen when bad people go unchecked
next up we have the story of italian zombies you may think that zombies are
only in movies right we'll think again because they really did exist in Italy
well kind of now we all know what high-resistance was in Italy
it's appeared in art production in Italy consisting of Leonardo da Vinci
Michelangelo and Raphael but not every Italian at the time was admiring these
amazing works of art in 1494 in Italy there was an outbreak of syphilis
because there was no cure for this this caused people's face to rot away that's
right people who got this hat their flesh fall off within a few months now
these people were still living but they didn't have any lips or noses so these
were literally people who were walking around as zombies it wasn't uncommon at
the time to see a bunch of people walking around with their faces
completely falling off so while you may be admiring some amazing art you also
have to see zombies if you lived at the time of high resistance and the final
scary thing on this list we're going to look at is called the dancing plague the
dancing plague took place in 1518 in now modern-day France one day in July over
400 people began dancing but the weird thing is there was no music and they
would not stop these people danced for around one month
many of these people actually passed away from a heart attack stroke or
exhaustion that's because they just danced and never stopped to eat drink
talk or sleep up until today this is a complete mystery as to why this happened
the most popular theory is this was caused by food poisoning her got fungi
could have grown on some of the wheat they were eating at the time this would
have caused an acid-like effect and would have made people freaked out
others say this could have been an event of mass hysteria this is where seemingly
for no reason a group of people in an area go absolutely crazy but as I say
the most popular theory is food poisoning caused by a psychoactive
chemical this is most likely the case as back then they didn't used to wash their
food before eating it but it's still a very scary and mysterious historical
story so those were five very scary stories from
history and the modern-day use the poll in the top right corner to add for the
scary story on this list personally I think it's unit 731 as that is beyond
terrifying if you guys want some more lighthearted videos then check out my
