My take on Alex from Tennessee is that the original poster wanted to start a creepy ARG with a real-world-location component, got frustrated because no-one wanted to participate (understandably, that's the kind of decision that starts a slasher film), so made a sock puppet account and 'found' the prize himself.

Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless! And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved! 1. Believe that God sent His Son (Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later. 2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you! 3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever. 4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever. I'm Praying for you and you are loved (Romans 10:9-13))

The skull in the donations box at 9:10 is pretty explainable. Back in the day, archaeologists were allowed to take their work home, including artifacts and bones. They didn't always get returned. I unfortunately know this from experience. Recently, there was an old archaeologist how passed in my general area. In his garage were dozens of boxes full of old government documents, artifacts and both animal and human bones, a vast majority of which were completely unlabeled. I know one of the archaeologists who was brought in to sort through everything. It's been several month and they're still sorting through his garage. If I had to bet, that'd be my guess, and the owner or whoever donated it may've just thrown the box into the donate pile without digging through it. That doesn't make it any less dark or alarming though.

On a lighter note, I once found money in a pair of pants at a Thrift store. I left the money in the pants hoping that a less fortunate guy would buy the pants and find the money when he got home. A few years later I found $350 in an empty aisle at a grocery store. I said "Thank you God!". But I felt guilty so I told my wife who was with me. She said that I had find the owner. I cautiously asked a few shoppers if they'd lost money. I even asked a cashier. She said that she would hold it for me. No thank you. I actually found the owner, a little old lady who was crying at a check out line with an empty Bank envelope. A different cashier was trying to comfort her. I knew this was the owner. I said "Ma'am did you lose this money?" I just handed it to her and walked away.

there's a possibility it was never an actual town, but instead a pop-up town. pop-up towns are quick built towns set up in the middle of nowhere to house military personnel and possibly their families while they are working on a project. when the project is either done or cancelled the town is either abandoned or torn down. one of these abandoned towns is (or at least was) in san fransisco, it was used in a few episodes of mythbusters when they needed a neighborhood for some of their driving myths. so the pop-up town coulda been called doveland and once project sanguine was shuttered the town was torn down, and because it was never an official town, it would've never been on any map.

@spankynater4242

4 ай бұрын

No evidence that it ever existed is evidence that it never existed.

Doveland could have been the name of the actual military housing neighborhood, not the town itself. I was a military kid and we lived in some military housing communities that had their own name some of which could have been mistaken for the name of a town. For example we lived in a navy housing subdivision called Victory Terrace, one called Gold Coast, one called Weary. None of those were cities even though some can feel big enough to be like a hamlet. A lot of older military housing was poorly maintained and much was demolished in the 80s and 90s and later contracted out to civillian companies. I bet Doveland was a small neighborhood of military familg housing inside of a smaller town around there. These places sometime have their own schools, community centers, playgrounds, clinics, convenience stores, etc.

The really disturbing thing about that first one is that the “clawed hand” looked to me more like the remains of a human hand with the flesh starting to recede from the bone. The discoloration and shriveling of soft tissue is consistent with mummification. It doesn’t prove the poster was responsible for that but it does show they had access to photos of someone who was in that state. Pretty wide range of possibilities after that… everything from them being a student studying forensics, medicine or anthropology to them being an actual killer or someone who found a body and was just cracked enough to take a bunch of photos for their own use. Who knows?

I’d venture a guess the picture is fake and/or completely unrelated. It looks to be in a completely different environment than the pics that “Alex” took (in broad daylight in a grassy area). The hand looks human-esque but the bones do not look human. Phalanges are pointed and bumpy (knuckles). Those appear blunt at the end. Also, there’s wiry hair that looks more consistent with an animal than human body hair. The whole thing screams a lame attempt at an ARG.

i used to think it was a human hand when i was younger, but if you take a closer look at the image the scale just doesn't make sense. look at how large the clover leaves and blades of grass are in comparison to the hand. if this was a human hand, it would have to be a baby's. raccoons have paws that are very similar in structure to human hands (all things considered) and much more consistent with this hand's apparent size. it's much more likely it's just a dead raccoon

It’s Delavan, Wisconsin, never was Doveland. Sometimes it’s also mistaken as “Dublin”, Wisconsin. The way it’s pronounced can sound like doveland. The people making the mistake have usually only heard the name but never needed to read it or spell it because they heard others that were familiar with it talking about the town.

The moment you said that the first mention of Doveland you could find was on a Tumblr post it immediately set off an alarm for me. Idk how familiar you are with the site but Tumblr has a whole culture around inventing fake stories for entertainment. The most famous example of this is the 1973 Martin Scorsese mafia film Goncharov which even got an IMDB page and Scorsese himself confirmed its existence despite the movie being entirely made up by Tumblr users. My point is, if the first mention of Doveland really is on Tumblr, I would bet real money that OP just made it up and just like Goncharov it spread beyond Tumblr because it's a genuinely interesting concept.

It kind of plays in to this pseudoscientific notion that non-ionizing radiation especially such low energy radiation is harmful or biologically significant... it isn't. it has the power of like 12.4 femtovolts? to put that in perspective, a microvolt is 1 billion times more energetic.

Funny (but gross) sidenote, I worked at a thrift store in their donation processing area for about six months back in my early 20s, and by far the most memorable/disgusting donation we ever got was a sex swing and a bunch of sex toys in a plastic garbage bag that someone had just dumped in the donation bin outside. The donor had intentionally placed the sex swing on top of the other items so we wouldn't know what it was at first. Thankfully, as policy, we all had waterproof landscaping gloves for safety reasons. We immediately dumped the sex swing and bag filled with sex toys into the dumpster. One of the girls I worked with was pissed that someone actually tried to donate that, but it also brought a good laugh that lightened the mood for the day. The most "dangerous/hazardous" item someone tried to donate (AKA, left in the donation area overnight) was an X-Ray machine, which really pissed management off, because those machines have radioactive isotopes used to generate the X-Rays. We did have a hazardous storage area away from the store, which is where we ended up rolling and dumping the machine, but management had to call a special waste removal service to properly dispose of the machine without creating a hazard.

Once I got it on, I realized it had what seemed like blood stains from the neck area running down the shirt and splattered on the left pant leg. It looked like the suit had been cleaned, but the stain was still visible in bright light and it reminded me of blood. Maybe it was nothing more than a wine or juice stain but I couldn't help but feel an immediate sense of revulsion and disgust.

1. Alex is the original poster too, he played both roles. 2. How could the police determine that the person whose skull was found at a thrift store died of natural causes if they only had the skull to work with?

My guess is they just realized the skull was too old to be from any open cases. They do similar when they discover old skeletons: the cops will investigate but if the bones are over a set age, say 100 years, they'll chock it up to natural causes and close the case because the body and their potential killer would both have died from old age by then anyways.

I also think the Doveland thing is an example of collective folklore where people add to the mythology over time until it more or less exists as an artifact of its own creation but without any actual substance or reality. Slenderman is another more famous instance where something becomes so embedded in the popular consciousness that people will believe there is more to it than there is. Now there is this unusual abandoned Army depot thing that exists near where I live in West Texas that is all fenced off with warning signs for trespassers but doesn't officially exist according to the Army. From what I've seen, the military tends to be less competent about actually hiding things when they can just deny something even in the face of overwhelming evidence. For years, the existence of Area 51 & Groom Lake wasn't officially acknowledged by the government even though everyone knew it was there.

Creepy thrift store finds sounds like a cool video you can do. I always find thrift store stuff to be very interesting. A lot of stuff you”ll come across have interesting stories, altho most of the time you need to know some amount of knowledge about the item to actually appreciate such things. I remember there was a guy who went to a thrift shop and found a photo from the late 1800’s of famous criminal Billy the Kid, which before only a single photograph of him was known to exist. Now there’s 2 existing pictures of him. And it was sitting at a thrift store all this time lol

People take all their junk to these places. Maybe didn't even know it was there.

I have a really bizarre and creepy story about my father. It was back in the 90's and my father of which him and my mom had been divorced since I was 5 years old and I had only seen my father about a dozen times over my life time and around the late 80's I had found out that he had been put into a retirement home and I was told where so I went up to see him and check out how he was doing. He was ok other than the fact that he said he didn't want to be there and I knew that he had always been the type of person who I thought would be like your not going to make me go anywhere that I don't want to and he could be very mean at times so I was very surprised to see him in the place to be honest. Anyway about 5 years had passed and I had not went back up there cause when I did go the one time me and him got into a big argument about the fact that he wanted me to go and get him a bottle of liquor and bring it in to him and I refused to so he got really mad and he threatened me so I left and didn't go back. Now about 5 years later my mom falls and broke her hip and after her surgery she was taken to a place where she had to do therapy and when I called to find out where she had been taken they said at the same place my dad was. So then I was like oh no!!! Because my mom and him had never spoken with each other after the divorce and she could not stand him and she would even get mad when anyone like me or my sisters to bring him up when we were talking to each other. So I thought that if she finds out that he is there she will have a fit and go crazy and want to be taken somewhere else. And I went up there as fast as possible to make sure that doesn't happen and when I got there a nurse I ask about my dad said well I am sorry to have to tell you but he had passed away last year before that. So I was like damn I don't want to say good now I don't have to worry about anything now. But around 5 more years had passed and I had not thought about that at all so one day I get a package in the mail and I open it up and I see a envelope in it and a letter of some sort. I started looking at the pictures that were in the envelope and they were all pictures of my dad and some lady that was on the beach somewhere. I looked at them and I was thinking at first these must be some of him and his girlfriend that he had a while back and they had taken the pictures when they had went on a vacation but the more I looked at them I thought that they could not be because it looked like he was older than I had ever seen and I was puzzled as to why it was like that ? So then I get the letter out and started reading it and it starts out with it being my dad and it says Ha Ha I told you that I was not going to be staying in a place like that and so I had to get out of there one way or another! And then it said you can see that I am doing well and I don't need a thing and for me not to worry about him or how he was doing. After that he said that he loved me and bye and then he just ended it just like that. I went up there after this happened and told them that he was alive and that they didn't know what they were talking about and they had let a man get away from them and didn't have a clue. They said that it was totally bizarre that I had those pictures and the letter. Then they took me into a back room and proceeded to show me his death certificate and his autopsy report and they said they had everything done by the book and they were 100% positive that he had died from a heart attack in his sleep. Afterwards I had a private eye look into the whole thing and he said that he couldn't find anything on my dad or the lady that was in the pictures with him and it was like him or the lady didn't even exist. I never heard anything back from him ever again since then and I really don't know what to think about this whole situation.

Regarding the first story, I was born in 1971 in and have lived most of my life in the town neighboring Elizabethton, TN. There was nothing. That area, though appearing very rundown had a fair amount of traffic. Most of the buildings being abandoned, there were still a few being used as seen by the cars in the photos, and considering nothing on the local news about this I'm extremely skeptical of the validity, but also appreciative of the telling. Thanks from a native for your narration.

Interesting to me that the sound of the buzzer on the radio station (on the original recording) is 60 hz like North American electrical frequency. But it’s in Russia which has a 50 hz electrical frequency.

The Russian shortwave station description reminds me of a little INDY film called "The Banshee Chapter" kind of an odd take on a LoveCraft story and MK Ultra. Great watch too.

I grew up partly in doveland. My dad was in the airforce. I don’t know nothing about top secret stuff. Seemed like a normal town but I was a kid. We lived there from when I was 8-11. We moved a lot. It probably became a ghost town and they destroyed it. I don’t know what work my dad there but he was an engineer. It was definitely real. What’s weird is we never traveled outside to neighboring cities though. So that was odd but my dad worked a lot so we didn’t travel much anyway. We moved from there to a city called Dayton Ohio or wright Patterson.

Unless I liked this video today, I will say that I cannot recall doing so but would 'like' it again. Thank you for your work and logical approach, much appreciated.

Let’s go another great upload from the man

Sorry, don't believe the one about the girl finding the camera several states away that had a picture of her dad in it. You compare it to someone that found a wedding album that they were in...while that's not likely to happen, it's much more plausible that someone living in the same area was photographed at someone's wedding than it is for a girl to find selfies of her dad on a camera that someone just happened to leave in the camera hundreds of miles away (also, it's a SD / micro SD card, not a SIM card) In general, the thrift store ones are difficult for me to take seriously because it's so easy to lie.

the thing about doveland is that the moment you mention that the earliest mention of it online is seemingly a tumblr post, that just makes me think it was a lie/a writing idea that just got out of hand. people on tumblr lied a lot back in the day and still do (granted, it happens on every website, but the ones spread around always seem to come from tumblr for some reason) and also a lot of people will do little writing projects or ideas on tumblr as if theyre fully real things, either because its fun to pretend, or because they want to see if they can trick people into believing these things. if all we have of doveland is purely peoples statements and no physical evidence (and im not counting merchandise as evidence, why would a military base from the 60s even make that?) then people could very much be remembering wrong or even inventing memories, or literally just lying to further the idea cause, again, it can be fun to do that online if its real thats a really interesting case, but i doubt it personally.
