Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the Internet!
I am your host, Rebecca Felgateand today we are talking about the Top 10 Scary Things
Found In The Snow.
I don’t know about where you guys live right now but it is the grim end of winter here
in Toronto.
I say end....
I really hope so but last year it basically went on til April – I am done with the winter.
My hands are dry..
My face is dry...
I am pale... bring on the sun!
Let me know what your favourite season of the year is in the comments section down below!
Why not include a few seasonal emojis too.
Like this video, share it with a friend...Instagram...
So...scary things found in the snow, be it from a hiker out for a winter walk or melting
snow revealing what was once hidden under the icy...oddly preserved...
Let’s start off strong at number 10 – we have Anthrax
Errrr.... what could actually be scarier than ancient diseases, including spy murder poison
of choice, Anthrax.
In 2016, a quarter of a million Reindeer were culled when an ancient strain of anthrax was
unleashed in Sibera.
It seems with global warming, ancient viruses that have laid dormant under ice for thousands
of years are being unleashed again and we have no modern cures.
While we know modern day anthrax, ancient strains are quite different.
One boy living in the siberian tundra actually died after contracting anthrax.
The main worry is that further permafrost will melt across the world, not just Russia,
unleashing – I quote – a pandora’s box of disease.
Some scientists are calling the hidden sicknesses Zombie Diseases as they are back from the
dead with a vengeance.
Crikey.
9 - Footprints Eeep, this is horrifying.... get ready to
hear about the Hinterkaifeck Murders and the mysterious footprints left in the snow.
In March 1922, five members of a family and their maid were murdered in Bavaria.
The case is still very much an unsolved mystery today.
The family were odd, that is for sure, and there were rumours of incest between the father
and daughter.
None the less, the eldest daughter, Viktoria, discovered footprints in the snow leading
from the woodland surrounding their property, leading up to their home, but there were none
walking back.
The family heard footsteps in the attic as if someone may have broken in... but when
they searched nobody was found.
The next anyone knew, the entire family were found dead, including Viktoria’s children,
all hacked up with a mattock.
All the police had to go on were the mysterious tracks in the snow, but again, none were leading
away from the home, meaning the killer must still have been inside the property... but
they were never found.
Some speculated they were killed by a ghost – six months prior the families former maid
had fled claiming the farm was haunted.
Others said Victoria’s husband who had gone to war returned to discover her with children
that could not have been his.
He was thought to have died in World War one, but perhaps he didn’t?
If the killer did flee after, they must have backtracked their steps in the snow precisely.
8 - 200 Tons of Trash Ah, Spring, a beautiful time of year where
the ice finally thaws and you can reclaim the streets again.
Let me just explain to those who don’t live in places with super cold winters.... so,
in Canada and the Northern United states, Iceland, Scandanavia and I am sure in the
more Northern parts of Europe ...the snow fall can be so heavy and intense that it stays
all winter in fields, forests, snow piles and snowy banks in the street...
I havent seen my front garden in a month!
Its actually kind of hilarious trying to climb over snow banks to cross the street...
The thing is though, it makes things kind of dirty and hard to clean.
Trash gets blown places them more snow falls and buries it.
So ...anyway....come spring in Boston the city discovered 200 tons of trash as the ice
melted away.
Gross.
In other centre of Portland, 300,000 cigarette butts were found in the ice … and of course
there were grimmer discoveries like soiled underwear and used condoms.
Blergh.
7 - ALIEN It seems in October 2017 a man discovered
what appeared to be a dead alien buried in the snow.
The extra terriestrial hunter filmed the incident and sold the footage to a Russian TV channel,
where it received national news coverage.
Luckily for us – it was uploaded to Youtube... and our friends at Inform Overload Did a news
story on it!
Also... before we talk about the alien, can we talk about my friend Charlotte Dobre in
this video...she is wearing her aliens shirt for the occasion!
Isn’t that cute!
Good on you Charlotte!
Anyway, the alien looks like it has been through the wars a bit – it is missing an arm and
a leg...and it looks...well I mean its dead isnt it!
The video was shot in Siberia but later was accused of being a hoax.
What do you think?
I am going with prank or hoax.
6 - Dead Goats In Cornwall, Connecticut in 2015, dozens of
dead, dumped goats were found as the snow melted and exposed their grave.
After the bodies were exposed at the Butterfield Farm, the Department of agriculture went to
investigate and found over 70 animal carcasses that were in various states of decay, although
of course the cold climes had slowed their decomposure.
What a grizzly discovery!
Luckily the remaining animals on the properyu were rehomed.
This story has a much happier ending so I am popping it MID LIST to lift your spirits,
we have a Frozen Cat at number 5
Unlike a lot of the things found on this list, this cat was not dead!
It almost was... but luckily, like I said, this story has a happy ending.
Imagine finding this – a small abominable snow monster flexing its claws and mewing
in the snow.
This ball of fluff and ice was found burried in snow in Kalispell, Montana where temperatures
were minus 8 degrees celcius.
This literally happened the other day....the first week of February 2019.
Poor kitty!
Luckily vets were able to save the fluff ball, coincidentally named fluffy, and defrost her
before she contracted hypothermia.
Here are her before and after shots.
Bless her.
It seems she fall foul of a falling load of snow while out and about.
I am glad she was saved!
Hurrah fluffy.
OKAY back to the scary stuff.
4 - Neolithic Weapons I think this is actually a really cool discovery...
although I suppose if you think about it these were weapons intended to kill people!
In 2013, 6000-year-old Ancient artefacts were discovered in the melting snow of the Norwegian
mountains, including arrow heads and snow fragments.
Amazingly it seems that the lost arrows were likely arrows that had been fired!
Martin Callanan of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, said: "When people
lost their arrows they lost them in the snow patches."
They never struck the intended, but they are the 6000 year old evidence that shots were
fired.
A BLOOD FOUNTAIN Urrrrm...... so.
Snow is pretty bright white, right?
Of course.
Blood.... well.... definitely very red.
Explorer Griffith Taylor got a macarbe looking shock when he discovered blood gushing from
the later named Taylor Falls when he was exploring Antarctica in 1911.
While the site is absolutely grim and apocalyptic looking, it seems that what appears to be
gushing blood is actually an iron oxide tainted flow of salt water.
The iron gives the water its bright red color.
Still though, seeing that in the snow from far off and upclose.... it looks like a giant
has been murder...or the earth is crying blood.....
2 - The Blood Gems Imagine going for a snowy hike in the French
Alps and coming across MASSIVE chunks of treasure.
A French climber found over a quarter of a million dollars worth of jewels – emeralds,
saphires, rubies... they were in a metal box poking out of the snow.
It seems that the hiker did what many wouldn’t and reported the findings to the french authorities
as they suspected the haul had a worrying story behind it.
They were right.
It seems that the precious stones were lost in the alps during either one of the two catastrophic
plane crashes that happened in that area of the mountains in 1950 and 1966.
Its likely the jewels came from the latter flight – Air India’s flight from Bombay
to New York which crashed into the mountain at 12,000 feet killing 117 people.
Recovery efforts were made to recover the bodies, and even the jewels, but much of the
cargo and many of the remains were never found and still lay burried in the snow.
1 - The Dolomites Victims In Italy during world war one, the northern
part of the country made up the Italian Front.
Sadly, on Friday December 13th 1916...yes...Friday the 13th, A natural disaster killed thousands
of soldiers.
Dubbed White Friday, an avalanche struck Mount Marmolada and other areas of the Dolomites
and in the aftermath 10,000 soldiers from collective sides were killed, which is the
most deaths caused by snow from an avalanche in history.
While some bodies were recovered, Thousands were lost in the snow... until recently...
melting ice has been uncovering 100-year-old preserved corpses from that fateful day.
It is like the battle has emerged afresh from the past.
SO that was the Top 10 Scary things found in the snow.
Which do you think was the scariest?
Hot or cold / feavourite season.

LMFAO.....
HELLO.... woops, sorry!
MOOD AF said something similar!
They said: Me : looking at the scary museum creature before the video starts Rebecca out
of nowhere : HELLO Me:….scared face!
Crovax had a scary story!
They said: I don't know about any cursed items, but I did have a spooky experience.
I'm an electrician and I was working alone doing corrections on a panel in an old school.
The electric room was in a sub basement accessed via a maintenance tunnel that sprawled under
the entire school and the work required that all power to the school be shutdown.
While I was working a janitors mop bucket was tossed at the door to the room I was in
and a few minutes later it was thrown down the maintenance tunnel.
I have no way of explaining what happened.
WOAH!
