TDW 1684 - Curse Of Donkey Lady Bridge

0:09 Why are you wearing that ridiculous hat?

0:09 I've gone full Alamo.

0:11 No one in their right mind would wear

0:13 that. Welcome everyone out of the woo

0:16 here. It's my second channel, daily vlog

0:18 channel. It's the daily woo.

0:22 Sing it Dave. Starting off the day with

0:24 a little Ripley's.

0:26 Believe it or not, it's happening. This

0:28 guy with three legs is singing a current

0:29 top 40 pop song and the woman next to

0:32 him is playing her neck and singing

0:35 backup. Very peculiar. Do not let the

0:38 clown bother you. Do not be scared of

0:40 the clown. He's friendly. You're

0:42 friendly, right? Yeah. Bat your eyes

0:45 twice for friendly, once for evil.

0:50 What? This is very reminiscent of Doc

0:54 Brown's contraption to feed his dog at

0:57 the beginning of Back to the Future. Or

0:58 maybe even the Pee-Wee Herman breakfast

1:01 machine in Peewee's Big Adventure. How

1:03 you doing?

1:06 Come to Ripley's often? You hang out

1:07 around here? Haven't seen you here

1:09 before. Oh, wait. Oh. Oh, I realized

1:12 your boyfriend was standing right there.

1:13 My apology, sir.

1:20 He's trapped in there.

1:21 This says that the wild man of Borneo's

1:24 head is inside. Wa. Oh, it's a mirror.

1:29 Oh, I see what they did there. You're

1:30 the wild man of Borneo.

1:31 No, you're the wild man of Borneo.

1:33 It is true. Everything is bigger in

1:36 Texas.

1:43 I thought I was tall. According to this

1:43 certificate of authenticity, this is one

1:45 of the bullets from Jack Ruby's gun that

1:48 was used in the shooting of Lee Harvey

1:51 Oswald. I don't know if it's the exact

1:53 bullet that killed him, but they say it

1:56 was in the gun. And this is the tow tag

1:58 of Lee Harvey and a portion of his hair.

2:03 Crazy. This car was an accomplice to the

2:05 assassination of John F. Kennedy.

2:07 Oswald's neighbor drove him to the

2:10 schoolbook depository in this vehicle.

2:13 He sat in this very back seat with the

2:15 rifle wrapped in newspapers. The driver,

2:17 his friend and neighbor, not knowing his

2:20 intentions. What are you staring at,

2:22 sir? Whoa. Turning your head away. I

2:23 turned my head away, too. You've never

2:25 seen a carpet bag. Is he Is he letting

2:28 gas off?

2:30 What the heck? You sit on this couch. He

2:32 turns his head and he

2:36 he passes gas. That's disgusting.

2:39 Would never know what time it is because

2:41 he'd be too terrified to look at the

2:43 clock.

2:45 Oh, they decapitated chickens and threw

2:48 them on a time piece. Click it. Believe

2:52 it.

2:53 Believe it. Wait, it's Justin Bieber.

2:55 So, believe it or not, I'm I I think

2:59 that joke failed.

3:00 You can only hold your breath for a

3:02 couple seconds in this atmosphere

3:04 without being in this space suit.

3:14 Dude, you ruined the bit.

3:14 Keep your eyes forward. Do not look to

3:17 the sides. It will be okay. It will be

3:20 okay.

3:21 This entire Elvis painting is made

3:24 completely out of butterfly wings. No

3:27 paint. Real butterfly carnage.

3:30 There's this very bizarre conveyor belt

3:34 just taking props to and fro on the

3:37 upper level here. Look, there's a

3:38 two-headed cow just being escorted on a

3:41 hook. There's the story of General

3:43 Daniel Cichlas who lost his leg to a

3:45 cannonball. And when he was alive, he

3:48 would visit the museum to see his own

3:51 leg. Holy crap. And I say that with

3:54 great affection because that John Wayne

3:56 is carved into cowpoo. This one is named

4:00 after Louis Tad. Not to be confused with

4:04 Madam Tacad. Same family, different

4:07 person. Oh, calm down. Calm down there,

4:10 partner. I'm buying the ticket. I'm not

4:12 trying to sneak in. I bought a ticket.

4:15 Yes, I know it. And Chill, chill. Chill.

4:20 Gosh. Got Johnny Cash here, not walking

4:22 the line, but walking a railroad track.

4:25 Lady Gaga right there wearing the famous

4:27 meat suit. I'm not getting too close cuz

4:29 it smells a little

4:30 I must say this is the creepiest Ellen

4:33 Degenerous

4:34 Dave Letterman. And yes, my friends,

4:39 this is Jay Leno

4:40 for real. This is This is Jay Leno.

4:44 Hey, bring it on.

4:46 He's got his fist ready.

4:47 He's ready for you, Sylvester. He wants

4:49 a fight. He's got his dukes up.

4:51 That's right. Come on. I'm looking for

4:53 Sakana. I was told she was here. Can I

4:56 see her, please?

4:56 Wait till they get a load of me.

4:58 I know you're wondering why I asked you

5:01 here. Well, I myself don't even know.

5:04 John Wayne, the Duke himself. But if you

5:06 look closely, he had very gargantuan

5:10 hands. Without a doubt, the scariest

5:12 renditions of the seven dwarfs I've ever

5:15 seen. He's picking his nose or smelling

5:18 his finger or something. And I just

5:20 cannot get over the face of Mary. Look

5:23 very don't look too deep into her eyes

5:25 or she will hypnotize you.

5:27 Here we have the story of Hansel and

5:28 Gretle told by the one and only Howard

5:31 Stern. We're entering now. It is what is

5:33 referred to as the theater of horror.

5:39 He's trying to grab me. He's trying to

5:41 He's trying to get through. Stay back.

5:45 Stay back. I say

5:47 there's the phantom standing in front of

5:49 his organ.

5:57 Just stay right there, Jason. Just stay

5:58 right there. Be on the lookout for

5:59 Michael Myers. I know he's around here

6:02 somewhere. Michael?

6:05 No sign of him. It's very dark in this

6:07 area. What the heck? You never know

6:10 what's around each corner. Oh my gosh.

6:14 No, I do not want to play a game. I do

6:17 not want to play a game. I have a bad

6:21 bad feeling about

6:24 a boy's best friend is his mother.

6:27 Right, Norman?

6:29 Right. The strobe light blinking on

6:32 Penny Wise's face. Moderately terrifying

6:35 to say the least.

6:36 All I want to know is how do I get out

6:38 of here? Continue this way. There's like

6:41 bags of bodies dangling through here. Oh

6:45 man, there's like bags of bodies for a

6:47 roadside attraction wax museum.

6:54 It's kind of scary in here.

6:54 Driving off the beaten path now. Looking

6:57 for a spot south of San Antonio that's

7:00 home to an urban legend of majestic

7:04 proportions. There's a very interesting

7:06 story from way back in the day about a

7:09 woman who haunts these woods.

7:12 There are a few different versions of

7:14 the tale. The most popular being that a

7:17 family lived right here along the

7:19 waterway and they had a house with some

7:21 animals. One of them being a donkey. And

7:24 one day the children of a very prominent

7:26 rich family in town came up to play

7:29 along the riverbed. and one of the kids

7:31 got a little too close and was bit by

7:34 the animal. After running home to tell

7:36 his parents, the parents came back to

7:38 confront the owners of the donkey who

7:42 were not very apologetic. This started

7:45 basically a war between the families.

7:48 They showed back up one night and burned

7:51 the donkey owning family's place to the

7:56 ground. And if that's not bad enough,

7:58 they were locked inside, barricaded from

8:02 the door.

8:02 So they were burned alive.

8:04 Oh, there's more to this. There's more.

8:06 The entire family perished with the

8:08 exception of the woman. Her skin badly

8:13 charred from the burns,

8:16 her feet and legs and arms mutilated by

8:20 the flames.

8:22 And she ran off into these very woods.

8:25 And ever since that day, there have been

8:27 countless accounts of people who have

8:29 driven their vehicles across this road

8:32 and said that a donkey like woman

8:37 has jumped on the hood of their car.

8:41 That's could you imagine that?

8:43 Now, why the donkey lady would be

8:44 angered at normal passer buyers and why

8:48 they would close off this bridge for

8:50 that reason is unbeknownst to me. It is

8:52 without a doubt a very very interesting

8:56 story if it is true. If it is not true,

8:59 it makes for quite the fable of

9:03 creepiness. Like most ghost stories,

9:06 they start to evolve and progress over

9:08 time. But just think about that.

9:11 A woman haunting

9:14 these very woods

9:16 shaped as a donkey with one mission.

9:22 I'm not really sure what the mission is,

9:23 but it's jumping on car hoods.

9:25 Basically, from what I can tell, they

9:27 have blocked off the bridge from being

9:30 able to be accessed by car because at

9:32 night, people would show up and try to

9:35 wait. They were hoping that the donkey

9:38 lady would make an appearance. They're

9:40 trying to stop that again before it

9:43 happens. Under the bridge, we kind of

9:46 sort of near downtown, actually about 20

9:48 miles away. Under the bridge downtown

9:52 is where she lives. Under the bridge

9:56 downtown,

9:58 she's the donkey lady, even though she

10:01 really isn't a donkey. According to the

10:04 legend, she was just burned alive under

10:07 the bridge downtown near downtown. Try

10:10 to get a bird's eyee view.

10:13 See if she can be seen.

10:16 Maybe she's out here. And maybe the only

10:18 way she can be discovered again is by a

10:22 drone. Is she under there?

10:26 Take it under. Find her.

10:29 Find her, Jacob. Don't be scared. Take

10:32 it in.

10:35 Oh, I'm so nervous.

10:36 You got it. Do not be afraid of her.

10:39 She's trying to to invoke fear in your

10:42 heart. Find her.

10:46 That doesn't sound like a noise.

10:53 I think you were just grinding. That was

10:53 either you were grind. Whoa. You were

10:55 either grinding the blade or she's down

10:57 there. That was a donkey making that

10:58 noise.

10:59 We're going to find her. We're going to

11:01 We're going to find her tonight.

11:05 Don't laugh. This is not a laughing

11:06 matter. This is a serious It's like a

11:08 It's like a homing pigeon

11:12 of electronic proportions.

11:15 with one purpose. To find her.

11:18 I'm not seeing her.

11:21 I'm not seeing her down there.

11:25 Where the heck is she?

11:34 Dang it.

11:34 Maybe the stories are false.

11:37 No way. No way.

11:40 You're not finding her.

11:43 Prove me wrong. Prove me wrong, Jacob.

11:45 It's like he's a man on a mission. He's

11:47 not giving up

11:49 until he sees the donkey lady.

11:59 Any luck?

11:59 Yeah, I totally saw her.

12:01 You saw her?

12:02 Yes.

12:02 Did you get it on video? Did you get Did

12:17 want to see the donkey lady. You can't I

12:19 can hardly wait. This is what I've been

12:21 waiting for all day.

12:23 I am genuinely excited to see this video

12:28 footage that the carpet bagger just got.

12:31 Historic footage is about to be shown.

12:33 Come on, come see the footage.

12:37 Yes. I'm so Yes. Don't watch it without

12:39 me. I want to see it. I won't.

12:43 you. I have to be part of this.

12:54 You're have a very steady hand.

12:58 What the Is that her?

13:01 Totally from

13:02 Wait a second. I don't know. May

13:06 It's a donkey lady.

13:08 I didn't see any barb wire though. Over

13:10 there near the water. Where was the barb

13:12 wire? How did you get so close?

13:13 I It was on the other side.

13:17 I don't know. I don't know. Vlog
