the world is a vast and beautiful place
and most people are not fortunate enough
to be able to explore it but thanks to
Google Maps and Street View you can now
conduct your own virtual world tour for
free and view and explore over 65
countries spying seven continents all
from the comfort of your own home
however every now and then something
turns up that is truly shocking or
creepy for the viewer and here we look
at five occasions when Google Maps or
Street View has thrown up something
completely unexpected be not the truck
of a serial killer but had yet to be
found
when the street was photographed or even
the eerie building that was transmitting
the mysterious Russian number station

now it's time to hit those lights sit
back and enjoy the village of Dead Dom's
if you look on Google Maps for a tiny
village called Nagar Oh located in the
valleys of Shikoku Japan you'll get a
shock because as you follow the road
through the village all is not what it
seems as you may have noticed the
village is populated not by people but
dance they are all the work of missus
Ayano who returned to a childhood
village after many years away and
discovered that most of the residents
that she formerly knew had either died
or left feeling lonely she first made a
doll that resembled her deceased father
this was followed by recreations of
other members of her family which
progressed to four
residents of the village all in the form
of life-sized dolls
there are around 350 dolls scattered
around the village today each
representing a dad or former resident
even the school has a few dolls saturd
esque s' waiting for classes to begin
Ayano has strategically placed the dolls
of the people she once knew in the
places she remembers they worked or free
content according to the story it's
claimed by locals that new dolls appear
overnight although no one has ever seen
jana putting them in their positions and
an even creepier tale is that she
creates dolls of people who are still
alive in preparation for when they die
Ariel Castro's home to 207 Seymour
Avenue in Cleveland Ohio
probably doesn't mean much to most of
you and if you search on Google Maps its
represented by an ominous blur but
behind the blur lies the home of former
bus driver and father of four
Ariel Castro who held three girls
captive for over 10 years and subjected
them to an unimaginable and inhumane
existence inside the property during the
time this Google Street View was taken
the horror started in August 2002 when
21 year old Michelle Knight accepted a
lift from a man she vaguely recognized
as the father of a girl she knew it was
a decision she would regret for the next
11 years
Michelle was taken to Castro's home in
Seymour Avenue where she was tied up and
left in an upstairs room where she
remained for the next 11 years often
chained to a wall and regularly abused
beaten and raped by Castro during her
time in captivity she suffered five
miscarriages less than a year after
Michelle's kidnap on April the 21st 2003
Castro picked up another girl she was 16
year old Amanda berry who accepted a
lift from Castro after she had finished
his shift at Burger King
initially her disappearance was treated
as a runaway until a week later an
identified male used his cell phone to
call her mother saying I have Amanda
she's fine and will be coming home in a
couple of days sadly Amanda's mother
died in 2006
of a heart failure and never saw her
daughter again Castro's third and
youngest victim was 14 year old Georgina
DeJesus he picked her up on April the
2nd 2004 as she walked home from school
Georgina knew him as she was friends
with his daughter during her time at
Castro's house Georgina was chained to
Michelle and the pair were held on the
top floor
Amanda lived separately in another room
and on Christmas Day 2006 she gave birth
to Castro's daughter Michelle was
ordered to help with the birth and
Castro threatened to kill her if the
baby didn't survive despite an initial
scare where the baby stopped breathing
Michelle was able to revive it and it
lived during the time Castro kept the
girls imprisoned he still held down his
job as a school bus driver until he was
fired in 2012 he also regularly held
family barbecues and nights with friends
at the house when he would move the
girls into the basement in case anyone
heard them
he also occasionally took his daughter
outside and even introduced her as the
child he had with his new girlfriend
after 10 long years it was Amanda that
was finally able to make contact with
the neighbor after she realized Castro
had left the door unlocked she escaped
with his six-year-old daughter and
alerted the authorities who rescued
Michelle and Georgina all four of them
were taken to the hospital and later
released Michelle was the last to be
released as Castro had been particularly
cruel to her and she had been beaten so
frequently that she had to have her jaw
reconstructed because she had enjoyed so
much abuse after she was freed
Michelle legally changed her name to
avoid the traumatic memories that she
associated with a previous name the full
horror of the past 11 years was revealed
and Castro was sentenced to consecutive
life terms in prison
plus a thousand years all without any
possibility of parole but just a month
after his conviction on the evening of
September 30 2013
Castro was found hanged by a bedsheet in
his cell at the correctional reception
center in Ohio
as part of the plea bargain Castro's
house was demolished on August the 7th
2013 watched by family and friends of
the girls but chillingly the ominous
blare on Google Maps is still a reminder
of the horrors those poor girls had to
enjoy their Israel keys truck that is
next image caught on Google Street View
in 2011 may look innocent enough after
all it's just a truck parked on a street
that is until you look at the name on
the trailer
keys construction and realize this truck
and trailer belong to Israel keys a
notorious serial killer who committed a
series of rapes and burglaries in and
around Alaska and who murdered at least
11 people Keyes was born in Utah in 1978

for a few years before setting up a
construction business in 2007 called

based in Alaska Keyes planned his
murders sometimes years in advance and
always killed far away from his home and
never in the same area twice in order to
avoid detection he would go on his
murder trips with his phone turned off

killed randomly and had no connection to
any of his victims in 2011 bill and
Lorraine Currier of Essex Vermont went

his wrists and strangulation
his suicide made him a rarity he was a
confessed serial killer who was never
condemned for his crimes
what is chilling is just what was hiding
in his truck on a day google.maps called
the image Phillip and Nancy Garrido's
house this street view image taken in
July 2007 looks ordinary enough just a
house and a suburban street in South
Lake Tahoe California
slightly neglected but nothing that
stands out the image also show the
homeowner leaving his house and followed
behind the Google vehicle for a while
however at the time this was taken in a
shed behind the house a young woman was
being held captive
her name was Jaycee Dugard and she had
been abducted 16 years earlier when she
was an 11 year old walking home from
school the man in the truck is her
abductor convicted sex offender Phillip
Garrido Garrido and his wife Nancy
snatched JC on June the 10th 1991 as she
walked to catch her school bus after
pulling up beside her in his truck
Garrido rolled down his window and
rendered her unconscious with a stun gun
Nancy then bundled her into the car and
held her down as she drifted in and out
of consciousness they then drove her for
three hours to their home in Antioch
initially Doug art only had contact with
Phillip who had regularly rape her
whilst handcuffed in the tiny soundproof
shed he held her captive in but after
seven months he introduced her to his
wife Nancy who initially showed her some
compassion bringing him milkshakes and
soft toys but who over the years turned
on JC and became jealous of her and when
Phillip was jailed for failing a drug
test
she became Durga's jailer until he
returned eventually the Garrido's
released JC from her handcuffs for short
periods although she was kept locked in
the shed with no access to doctors or
dentists and at the age of 13 she was
pregnant with her first child she later
gave birth to a daughter on August the
18th 1994 JC learned about babies and
childbirth from watching programs on a
tiny TV she was supplied with her his
second daughter was born on November the
13th 1997 JC was able to take care of
her daughters and protect them from
ggarrido
after many years living in the shed
Garrido eventually built an 8 foot tall
fence around the backyard and set up a
tent for JC and her children and she was
allowed to walk outside the Garrido's
agreed that JC was to call Nancy mother
and as she was to teach her daughters
that she was their sister
rather than their mother and when JC and
her daughters were eventually allowed to
come into contact with other people this
is the story they told JC was also
allowed to work as a graphic designer in
burritos print shop where she had access
to a phone and email but remarkably she
made no attempt to alert anyone about
her childhood abduction JC and her
daughters also had contact with
neighbors who never suspected a thing
to the outside world JC was going by the
name of ELISA Burt when in 2004 Philip
went to a University of California
Berkeley police officer with JC's two
daughters to seek permission to hold a
special event on campus as part of his
God's desire program the Events Manager
became suspicious and after discovering
gerado was a sex offender she arranged
another meeting and again she was
concerned about the girls appearance and
behavior so arranged for the family to
meet with a parole officer when the
family arrived for the meeting they were
separated and an agitated JC was asked
to confirm her identity she insisted her
name was ELISA and offended Corrado it
wasn't until the police arrived and
gerado admitted he had kidnapped and
raped her but she identified herself as
Jaycee Dugard
the schoolgirl who had been missing for
18 years the full horror of those 18
years in captivity were revealed and on
April 28th 2011 the gyrados pleaded
guilty to kidnapping and rape by force
philip was sentenced to four hundred
thirty one years to life imprisonment
Nancy received 36 years
JC retained custody of her children and
was soon reunited with a family since
her release JC has written a book about
her life in captivity entitled a stolen
life
uvb-76 now we've talked about the buzzer
on top fires before the mysterious
Russian radio signal also known as
uvb-76 but has been broadcasting since
the late 1970s with the earliest known
recording in 1982 the signal which
broadcasts on for 6 to 5 kilohertz has
baffled people for years with many
questioning as purpose and the meaning
of the messages that can be heard it
mainly emits a short monotone burns 25
times a minute all day every day however
every few years the buzz stops and a
Russian voice can be heard reading out a
mixture of numbers and names initially
the broadcast was thought to be
recording playing continuously on Luna
but this was dismissed and it was
revealed the buzzer noise is manually
generating as often you can hear
activity in the background suggesting it
had a base the question was where was it
efforts to locate where the signal was
coming from
led to a Russian military base on the
outskirts of Poverello a small town 19
miles north of Moscow it can clearly be
seen on Google Maps but when the signal
changed in October 2010 it was realized
that the station had changed occasions
the move was followed by a flurry of
activity and voice messages wise
established a signal his new location
and the new call sign was also heard
after the station changed location urban
explorers were keen to get into the old
base and now armed with the Google
coordinates two groups travelled to the
remote town and managed to bypass the
guard dog and infiltrate the abandoned
bunker and military buildings where for
over 30 years the birds had been
transmitting from they found out from a
local farmer that a fierce storm in 2010
had forced the military outpost to be
evacuated which explains the change of
location they described the place as
quiet and lonely with a maze of
corridors and rooms
they also found a book that contained a
log of messages sent by uvb-76 providing
physical proof that they were in the
right place along with confirmation that
it had been run by the Russian military
but the mystery is far from being solved
the buzz and sporadic voice messages can
still be picked up and legions of
listeners tuned in via radios and online
streams every day and all attempts to
ascertain its new location have so far
proved fruitless as unlike perform it
seems that uvb-76 is now emanating from
multiple transmitters across Russia
there are lots of theories on what the
purpose of the radio station is with the
most popular being that it is the
audible version of Russia's Deadman
switch system an automatic nuclear
weapons control system operated in the
Cold War I can automatically trigger the
launch of Russian intercontinental
ballistic missiles in the event that a
nuclear strike is detected a device that
is not supposed to be still in use but
is rumored to still be switched on and
fully functional should the need arise
this seems unlikely but who knows the
buzz is more likely to be a channel
marker used to discourage others from
using the same frequency so the Russian
military can communicate through coded
messages to multiple units at the same
time but still no one really knows
although thanks to Google Maps and a few
brave urban explorers at least we know
for sure but it is something to deal
with the Russian military so that's it
for this video I hope you've enjoyed I
know some of these were a bit upsetting
so I wanted to end on something a little
more lighthearted because thankfully not
everything on Google Maps or Street View
is sinister
thanks for watching and I'll see you
right back here next Saturday for
another video
you
