Stories From History That Sound Fake But Are Completely Real
Ойын-сауық
History is often stranger than fiction, but these stories are so unbelievable you'd be forgiven for thinking they were made up by bored historians looking to prank contemporary scholars. Dig past the big battles and major political figures of the past and you can find some truly weird examples of human imagination and ingenuity... along with plenty of life-threatening, poor decisions. From the mayor of New York's battle with the Artichoke King to the United States president who tried to fund an expedition to the Hollow Earth, here are stories from history that sound fake but are completely real.

I listened to this video, and heard the worst pronunciation of the city of Glasgow, it is Glaz go. not Glassgow.
I’ve never heard about the Roman goblet before. Thank you for teaching me something new.
I read the story about the Man they couldn't kill as a kid. It was hard to believe when I was young, but my dad was French/Irish, and drank absolutely unbelievable amounts of alcohol until he died in his 90s! He smoked, he took drugs, he had Keith Richard's blood or something...
Aaaaargh did he just say "Glass Cow"? Mate, it's "glaz-go". Edit: this has got East End written all over it. Defo the work of the mental gangsters out there.

"Death by Molasses" *stares in Puppet History*
The first time I bought pot in the 70's was from an ice cream man in Oxnard, California!😊

There was a ' ice cream" man in the San Fernando Valley in LA that sold weed along with barbiturates such as nembutal (yellow jackets) and seconal (red devils) along with amphetamines (speed). He was finally caught in front of my Jr high school in No Hwd after two students died mixing alcohol and barbs. What a cool guy he was.

I once responded to the county jail and fought a dude trying to climb the fence and break in to the jail. Then I arrested him and drove him around to the rear where inmate intake is located and booked him.

Guess he got what he wanted lol. He definitely got a free pass INto jail. Class act. I can see it now... "Coming up on world's dumbest criminals a New England deputy gives a man the shortest transport of his career thus far. This inept detainee is also the winner of this week's 'World's Dumbest Award', find out why, right after this... They just don't make'em like they used to."

The Great London Beer Flood happened on 17th October 1814 at Meux & Co's Horseshoe Brewery in London, a 22ft tall wooden beer fermenting vessel burst open and 323,000 UK gallons (388,000 US gallons) of Porter beer flooded the area around the brewery. Eight people were drowned in the flood, the youngest was three years old and the oldest was sixty five years old. Meux & Co were found to be negligent due to the fact that the vessel had been leaking for some time before it burst. Meux & Co were ordered to pay £23,000 in compensation, it almost bankrupted them at the time, but Meux & Co survived as brewers until 1961 when they finally did go bankrupt. After that flood wooden fermenting vessels were banned and concrete vessels were introduced instesd.
Excellent presentation
John Cleves Symmes Jr is buried in Hamilton, Ohio, just north of Cincinnati, Ohio. There is a small park there called Symmes Park and in the middle of the park is a monument with a Hollow Earth on top of it dedicated to John Cleves Symmes Jr..
I was a kid in Glasgow during the ice cream wars, scary times. Every night there was a stabbing or robbery
9:30 On a hot humid day in the North End of Boston you can still get a whiff of molasses in the air if the winds are right; over a hundred years later.

So wood alcohol, called methanol, is deadly if you drink it by itself, but if you maintain higher levels of grain alcohol, ethanol, in your system than you do methanol the ethanol will be broken down by the liver while the methanol will be excreted in urine. If dude was a heavy alcoholic then he was likely consuming a lot of ethanol as well which kept his liver from breaking down the methanol into formaldehyde.

Someone needs to watch Trey the Explainer's video on the Loch Ness monster if you're gonna be putting it in a video titled, "Completely Real." Even without watching his stuff on the matter nothing written 100 years after the fact can be used as evidence for something being, "completely real." Some things you neglect to mention is the fact that there are no other accounts prior to the 1930's, that the account is talking about the River Ness and not the Loch, is made by an unreiliable narrator, made in book where tons of monsters are encountered by St. Columba and driven of by prayer, and the monster in the River Ness is no different than any of those others. I hope it's just down to the fact y'all didn't research it thoroughly enough because usually y'all tend to do pretty good on these videos for a channel of this kind. It's really easy to see that people who want to make the Loch Ness have evidence from prior to the 1930's are making that story fit.
