Welcome back everyone - how many of you keep a diary?
I think its a great thing to do - it helps keep your thoughts organised and its really
fun to look back on years later.
Sometimes though, diarys can capture some very creepy moments in peoples lives.
Sometimes the scary thing happened to them, other times theyre the ones who caused it.
Lets turn the pages and take a look inside these famous diaries to see what secrets we
will find.
My name is Danny Burke and this is the Top 10 Scary Diary Entries.
Starting off at number 10 we have Pearl Moen.
On the morning of November 17th 2015, 17 year old Pearl watched a couple enjoy the last
minutes of their date.
When the man ran upstairs to go to the bathroom, the woman dozed off in the morning light.
Thats when Peal Moen struck - she burst from the bushes and stabbed the woman 21 times,
leaving her to bleed out.
She went home that day and wrote in her diary -So, okay, I’ll start with the exciting
bit.
I stabbed an innocent woman to death earlier today.
(Technically yesterday since it’s 1 am).
It was absolutely fantastic.
Murder gives me a high unlike any other.
It feels like this crisp unreality, flashing and sparkling, adrenaline and shock.
Fight or flight mode.
How do I even go about describing it.
The whole thing was unreal.
I’m so proud of myself.
I stabbed her like 20 times.
Maybe more.
I wasn’t counting.
She screamed & grabbed at me saying “what the f—?!
Help.
Leave.- … what Pearl didnt know though was that her victim survived and eventually testified
against her.
She is currently in prison serving a 15 jail sentence.
Moving on to number 9 now we have Theodore Roosevelt.
On February 14th 1884, former US president Theodore Roosevelt received the shocking news
that both his mother and wife had died within hours of one another in the family home in
New York City.
His mother had died from typhus while his wife Alice had died giving birth.
He was so overcome with grief that he simply wrote an X above one striking sentence - The
light has gone out of my life.
Moving on to number 8 now we have Alyssa Bustamante.
On October 21st 2009, at the age of 15, Alyssa took her 9 year old neighbour Elizabeth out
into the woods, she strangled her, cut her throat and then buried the body in the ground.
She was eventually caught and charged and given 35 years in prison.
It was a crime that shocked America.
During the trial, prosecutors referenced her diary from that day - it read -I just f***ing
killed someone.
I strangled them and slit their throat and stabbed them now they're dead.
I don't know how to feel ATM.
It was amazing.
As soon as you get over the 'ohmygawd I can't do this' feeling, it's pretty enjoyable.
I'm kinda nervous and shaky though right now.
Kay, I gotta go to church now...lol- … if thats not the signs of a seriously disturbed
individual, I don't know what is.
Coming in at number 7 we have The Kamikaze Pilot.
Bit of a different one here to the rest of the entries weve talked about.
This one was written by a Japanese kamikaze pilot - they were told to fly their planes
straight into American ships in order to cause maximum damage.
It was a desperate attempt in a war that Japan was losing - and the pilots knew it was suicide.
Many people think they did it willingly or that they had been brainwashed by their Emperor
- but this diary entry paints a different picture.
It reads -To be honest, I cannot say that the wish to die for the emperor is genuine,
coming from my heart.
However, it is decided for me that I die for the emperor.
I shall not be afraid of the moment of my death.
But I am afraid of how the fear of death will perturb my life . . . Even for a short life,
there are many memories.
For someone who had a good life, it is very difficult to part with it.
But I reached a point of no return.
I must plunge into an enemy vessel.
As the preparation for the takeoff nears, I feel a heavy pressure on me.
I don’t think I can stare at death...
I tried my best to escape in vain.
So, now that I don’t have a choice, I must go valiantly.-
Moving onto number 6 we have Dylan Klebold[a].
He was one half of the duo responsible for the Columbine massacre in 1999 in which the
pair shot killed 13 students and teachers at Columbine High school in Colorado.
They killed themselves before they could be caught.
Police found Dylans diary which explain their plan for the shooting in detail.
It reads -Walk in, set bombs at 11:09, for 11:17 Leave, set car bombs.
Drive to Clemente Park.
Gear up.
Get back by 11:15.
Park cars, set bombs for 11:18.
Get out, go to outside hill, wait- … soon after, one of the deadliest high school shootings
in the US took place …
Moving onto number 5 we have Zygmunt Klukowski.
He was a doctor in a small town in Poland who kept a journal when the Nazis invaded
and began making preparations for the holocaust which would end up killing around 6 million
Jewish people.
Zygmunt wrote in his diary -All Jews will be shot.
Between 400 and 500 have been killed.
Poles were forced to begin digging graves in the Jewish cemetery.
From information I received approximately 2,000 people are in hiding.
The arrested Jews were loaded into a train at the railroad station to be moved to an
unknown location.
It was a terrifying day, I cannot describe everything that took place.
You cannot imagine the barbarism of the Germans.
I am completely broken and cannot seem to find myself.- … its one thing hearing the
numbers of how many people the Nazis killed, its another hearing a 1st person account of
it happening …
Moving on to number 4 now we have Kathleen Folbigg.
This Australian woman is famous in that country for the murder of her children during the
1990s.
During that decade, her children kept dying in what was described as -crib death- … that
seemed to be the official consensus until her husband came across her diaries.
To his horror, he found out that she had been the one who killed them.
She wrote -My guilt of how responsible I feel for them all, haunts me, my fear of it happening
again, haunts me...
I’m ready this time.
And I know I’ll have help and support this time.
When I think I'm going to lose control like last time, I'll just hand baby over to someone
else …- … one time, she even wrote -Obviously I am my fathers daughter- … her father was
convicted and sent to jail for the murder of her mother.
She is currently serving a 40 year sentence.
Next up at number 3 we have Eric Harris.
Were returning to the columbine school massacre to look at the diary of the other perpetrator
- Eric Harris.
His diary was the disturbing tale of a guy who felt like the world was against him, that
was unwanted in the world and shunned by all around him.
Eventually, these feelings of displacement led him to kill his schoolmates.
The final entry is perhaps the most disturbing, it read -I hate you people for leaving me
out of so many fun things.
And no, don't f****** say that ‘well that’s your fault’ because it isn't, you people
had my phone# and I asked and all, but no.
No no no, don't let the weird looking Eric kid come along, ohhh f*** no-
Moving on to number 2 we have Robert Scott[b].
Some of you may know who this is if I tell you his nickname is often Scott of the Antarctic
after the film that was made about his ill fated trip to the antarctic.
His first one went fine but his second saw him and his team get pinned down in gale force
winds on their way back from the South Pole.
In his diary, Scott wrote -Since the 21st, we have had a continuous gale from W.S.W.
and S.W.
We had fuel to make two cups of tea apiece and bare food for two days on the 20th.
Every day we have been ready to start for our depot 11 miles away, but outside the door
of the tent it remains a scene of whirling drift.
I do not think we can hope for any better things now.
We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker, of course, and the end cannot
be far.- … this was one of his final diary entries.
Its thought that he and the others died a few days later on March 29th 1912.
His body was discovered in the ice 8 months later …
And finally at number 1 we have Jason Massey[c].
In 1993, at the age of 20, Jason Massey Killed two teenagers in Texas - a 14 year old boy
and his 13 year old step sister.
He received the death penalty for his crime.
Officials found his diaries from before the murders took place - and they were disturbing.
He wrote about wanting to be a famous serial killer and also his necrophilia fantasies.
He once described killing a girls dog and then smearing the blood on her car.
One of the most chilling lines simply read -My goal is 700 people in twenty years- … he
was executed via lethal injection in 2001.
Alright guys, that was all very intense, let me know what you thought about it all - lets
wind down a bit now with some of your comments.
These came from my Real Devil Encounters- video.
We had a few jokers Daniel Murillo said -Ive seen the devil before as well.
When youre latino and accidentally cus at your mom.
Youll see the devil my friend- … very good, Snailzy also said -this list is wrong, I cant
find my ex- … yes yes very good …
I was starting to wonder if anyone had any serious experiences and then I saw this one
from Andi Muhelstein.
She said -My sisters ex boyfriend did devil worship in our basement.
We had plenty of encounters with demons in our house.
Including one that I named Greg that would stalk you down the hallway and fill you with
incredible amounts of dread and he would also leave handprints on our bathroom mirror when
it got steamy but the fingers were abnormally long.- … OK, yeah, thats creepy.
I asked for a serious one - and now Im kind of regretting it.
That was pretty creepy.
Shall we do a part 2 of that one guys?
Or would you like more diary entry videos?
So much to choose from, until then, thanks for watching as always, my name is Danny Burke
and Ill see you all in the next video!
