I'm going to do the train and look at
11:46
the cryptons over here the Gator Land
11:48
Express Iron Horse going to head over
11:51
hop on the train you're a train ride
11:54
find those cryptons it says right here
11:56
can you find the Crypton
12:00
says it right there on the side making
12:02
an announcement over here that the train
12:03
is about to take off I got to keep an
12:08
eye out for the eight Crypt I think they
12:10
said there's eight Cryptids that are
12:11
going to be uh seen throughout the
12:13
course of the train now upon taking off
12:17
I started to see I trying to look for
12:19
all eight of the crypted so basically as
12:21
we were going along found about uh I
12:24
think I got the maybe the first four or
12:26
five of them and I've done this before
12:28
and I think they're kind of in the same
12:29
area as they were in the past so I kind
12:32
of knew where to look you have to like
12:33
know whether to look on the left side or
12:35
the right side of the train gu got about
12:37
halfway around right where you get into
12:39
the area with the animals there's a some
12:42
cows and birds and things over in the
12:44
little area where the the train goes
12:47
around a Bend evidently the train wasn't
12:49
going fast enough so they had to back it
12:50
up backed way up I thought we were going
12:53
all the way back to the station I
12:54
thought maybe there was an issue with
12:55
the track up ahead like maybe it was a
12:58
an issue with being broken or something
13:00
but it wasn't backed up enough got some
13:02
momentum went forward went around the
13:05
bend and then saw the other one so I
13:06
think I got I think I ended up seeing
13:08
all eight of the Cryptids that are along
13:11
the Train the Gatorland train for the
13:13
Halloween event I think I saw I think I
13:15

different every year and always awesome
16:18
augural ghost tour you excited oh oh I
16:22
like that
16:22
reaction a I like that I like that a lot
16:26
so now instead of giving you guys ghost
16:28
tours my job is to get a search party so
16:30
we can find them oh good would you all
16:32
be willing to be part of my search party
16:35
creepy best advice is just not to make
16:37
eye contact that's that's the best
16:39
advice I can give you come on in this
16:41
way I decorated just the jum no they'll
16:44
tell
16:45
us I don't know anything about that that
16:47
doesn't happen where could I get gold
16:50
ancient Egypt ancient Egypt was what I
16:52
thought of anybody else a fan of ancient
16:54
Egypt yeah I love it I love it um you
16:57
know to go with our ghost the they
16:59
actually were very afraid of HS back in
17:00
ancient Egypt that was a culture that
17:02
was afraid um you know how I can tell
17:03
they were afraid they put those giant
17:05
pyramids on top of dead B what are you
17:08
doing here I don't know you I like you
17:11
so you're all here because of morbid
17:14
curiosity aren't you I have more
17:17
curiosity follow
17:30
me hist most of our morning customs and
17:30
funeral Customs come from Victorian
17:32
times get in here and I'll show you yeah
17:36
so this is Sabrina she's in morning and
17:39
as you can see from all these magazine
17:41
clippings it was very fashionable to be
17:43
in morning in Victorian times and look
17:45
we found Mike the Vlog hog Hilman there
17:48
he is poor guy yes so back then uh she
17:52
would have to carry this around for one
17:55
year this is a tear catcher every time
17:58
time she cried she'd catch her tears in
18:00
this and after one year's time she'd
18:03
pour the contents out on her husband's
18:05
grave signifying the end of her morning
18:08
period now back then there were no
18:10
funeral homes so you would hold the
18:12
funeral in the person's home you'd cover
18:15
all the mirrors to make sure their soul
18:17
didn't get trapped in the reflection the
18:19
living would wait in the living room the
18:22
body would be put on display in The
18:24
Parlor and you'd watch the body in
18:26
shifts to make sure that it didn't wake
18:30
that's because there were no
18:31
preservation methods available back then
18:33
feel how hot it is that body got to be
18:35
very woo pretty quickly so you may be
18:37
buried the same day there's a huge fear
18:40
of being buried alive so you'd watch for
18:42
anything finger twitch a bit of
18:44
breathing yes so also photography was
18:47
new technology there's a chance you may
18:49
have died and never had your portrait
18:51
Tak you up with your family and take a
18:53
portrait that way or they have an
18:55
apparatus they could use to hold the
18:57
body up and keep it in place they could
18:59
take a portrait a momento Mori if you
19:01
will speaking of which right behind you
19:04
we have an actual Victorian hair wreath
19:06
flowers some not dried flowers that's
19:09
actual human hair that would make for a
19:11
lovely read just saying follow me I have
19:14
other weird stuff right this
19:17
way get in the graveyard
19:25
now this is so now if you've ever been
19:25
to a big grand old Cemetery you may have
19:28
seen a cave C around the grave this is
19:30
called a mort safe why would you put a
19:32
cage around the
19:34
grave zombies vampires no you weren't
19:37
trying to keep the dead in you were
19:39
keeping the living out yes grave diggers
19:42
or grave robbers yes but here's the
19:44
thing what were they after there weren't
19:45
valuables buried with the body it was
19:47
the body itself medical students needed
19:51
cadavers to practice on people weren't
19:53
dying fast enough so they'd hire
19:55
Resurrection men to come and steal the
19:58
body
19:59
make it look as no one were ever there
20:02
spoiler our high school
20:12
me who could tell me why ghosts wear bed
20:12
sheets this isn't a weird joke or
20:14
anything it's an actual
20:16
question oh that's really really good
20:19
answer that's not it oh most people
20:21
couldn't afford a coffe and so you would
20:25
