As freaky as these cases are, I'm more scared by that mannequin in the back.
Alison Boylan oml I thought I was the only one 😂
They probably put it there on purpose, lol!
Animal Angel no, I think they put the mannequin there on accident
Alison Boylan it can be seen in their other videos too. Scary af lol
Alison Boylan so true
"a girl who doesnt know her own name how scary is that" not as scary as the mannequin looking thing in every shot with shane i really hate that thing
You got that phobia?
@@avaa.. Roanoke
It terrifies me
I keep thinking it moves whenever I see it but it doesn’t
Its looking at me
Riana did a statement where she explained that her dad had been slowly having a mental breakdown over time that both the parents were co-dependent so they often fed into each other, but they hadn't realized it until after the fact. Riana said on the trip though her dad was so convincing to his belief that they were being followed and someone was out to get them, that they had no reason to not believe him. Mitchell was the only one who was pretty clear that this wasn't okay, which is why he left and and sought out the police to let them know his family was having some kind of mental health crisis. Afterwards, the family sought on-going mental health treatment and support, and have been doing well.
So solved?
@@Valentina-ng4hh I feel like it is. It's enough to me. I appreciated Riana not only being candid about what happened but explaining that her family sought help after and utilize their support system to hold each other accountable. That they weren't bad people, but there was something wrong and they didn't realize it until they were waist high and didn't know how to swim out. Things happen and they weren't versed enough to know that they needed help. But they did get it, and now continue to make good choices so there are no repeats of this incident.
Well at least it has a Happy Ending.
The one thing is the girl who ended up in the truck not knowing her name. How’d that happen? Was her mental health that bad?
@@lindscutie0756 I would say so. When you are feeding into a psychotic break and just sort of disassociate, I think so. Especially if she was fragile before hand. Obviously since I wasnt there I can speak one way or the other
The thing I'm most baffled by is how all five of them turned up alive and yet none of them could give even a basic description of what prompted the trip or what happened during it. Usually, cases are unsolved either because we have no way of accessing the information needed to solve it or because some legal block caused the case to stop. In this case, we continue to have theoretical access to all the information needed but somehow we don't have it???
In case you don't know, the kids went along with their parents on th etrip because they didn't want to leave them in that state, the daughter sort of deluded herself into it, the son knew it was bs but stayed along for the ride, and the parents are mentally ill. Their family is seriously fucked up
OH HELLO THERE!
Drives past you
OH HELLO THERE!

That's what happens when you work seven days a week.

Golazo Highlights It probably effects both
I hate when the camera pans to Shane because of that damn mannequin
Men in black...
yeah its way too creepy
I keep getting the feeling it moves 😂😕
@@khameronsmith108 in one video it moved
Blair Underwood what video
To be honest the "no family history of mental illness" is something I usually ignore. My family was very traditional and 3 generations described anxiety and depression but they never sought help because of how they were raised and taught. Especially in a situation where they're farming folk, I don't think they would have a history even if they all had obvious signs.
also mental illness doesn’t need a history sometimes it just happens
My grandfather was super bi-polar and everyone was always just like "that is how normal men act" until he died
as someone who's actually experienced folie a deux with my family i really believe that theory to be the strongest. it can happen randomly and with everyones trust and paranoia in the household it can cause a sudden "insanity" where you can do reckless things. and it definitely left me feeling confused after my experience lmao
What was your experience like?
I’m not trying to be rude or anything but what did it feel like?
@@ellieperry4194 I don’t think he’s gonna respond :/
Would you mind sharing your experience? I'd like to have a better understanding, but if you're not comfortable that's completely fine.
@@sarahjinnah9981 I can I experienced this myself basically you start feeling confused scared and start to sweat then u start looking all around Turing from wall to wall staying close to it you feel like someone’s watching you and following you it has happened to me and my sister numerous of times

"Most bizzare case in 30 years." So what happened 40 years ago?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Holt Not 40 years ago as such but we are a country that lost a prime minister
What happened 30* years ago
I think the police officer is referring to their prime minister that all of the sudden disappear into thin air
Their prime minister drowned in the 60s and his body was never found
N0VA_ _D0S lmaooo i can’t the story of harold holt seriously because everyone at my school jokes about it, especially when he’s brought up in assembly (he went to our school)
Hey this wasn’t technically solved by Shane and Ryan. But this case was technically solved later. The daughter admitted that their family was under Folie Á Deux, and that her father was having some personal mental health issues that caused him to not feel so well
Oh when did she admitted it? Is there any source about it on the internet?
@@ipshitakanungo3025 yeah it's up there
@@WillSmith-fy4ux oh okay...I will search for it... Thanks!
“Mitchell, you traitor! Your a traitor to the tromp clan!” I died 😂
Okay but there's a town called Yass
Queen Chicken I need to live there lol
its crappy theres nothing there
Queen Chicken it's not a city, just a small town. The most popular thing there is either the McDonald's sign that says Myass (the m then Yass) or the annual billy cart derby.
NyanCat1907 it's so boring lol
I guess you could say it's pretty.... basic.
I'm halfway through the video and ive never been so confused in my life

Spoiler: nobody is missing, nobody got hurt, nobody died, people just feel entitled to know why they went on a road trip. This entire video makes no sense.
Fawn Whisperer Thanks lol
+Fawn Whisperer It was clearly not just a road trip
One of my friends had a psychotic break due to insomnia and lack of sleep. He thought we were all trying to kill him or people were trying to kill him. It only took 3 days from him to go from relatively normal to hospital bound. I think this isthe most likely explanation as they all exhibit mental symptoms and can't remember much or explain their reasoning, which makes sense. Like when you do something for no reason it feels inexplicable after
But when you come back down, you should be able to explain what prompted the journey. And I could buy 1 of them going bananas but not all of them. They were all grown ups too.
@@jimjo8541 there is literally a pyschological phenomenon that described exactly what you are saying isn't possible - Folie Á Deux, or a mass hysteria of sorts, when multiple people simultaneously develop delusions that they reinforce because they are typically very close. Also them being adults affects nothing lol, adults are just as capable of having mental breakdowns as children.
I feel like they both kept forgetting that they weren't "kids". They were all in their 20s, perfectly capable of just leaving at any moment
I mean, physically, yes, but that doesn't mean they were truly able to leave. also, there's no magical age where you just stop being influenced by your parents. if you never have an opportunity to be independent, you're not going to have the emotional or tangible skills and resources to be able to act independently. this is true for mundane families where wild stuff like this doesn't happen lol TLDR it's complicated
@@sethescope I appreciate you for saying this, as someone with emotionally abusive parents and an untreated mental illness that has kept me somewhat dependent on them even if i'm in my 20's. The truth is, independence is a skill that you develop over time and with practice, and that can be impeded by illness, disability, or on a psychological level, controlling/abusive parents. I'm a full grown adult but it's still hard for me to do things I know my parents disapprove of because on a psycholgical level i've been primed for my whole life to think that it's wrong or evil, or even just impossible. And with this and more mundane families, working for your parents in a heavily isolated area could impede independence as well. Some cultures also maintain a sense of attachment and honour towards parents and their wishes even if you are an adult. So it might make it difficult to disobey their wishes or not act as a familial unit, especially if they have expressed genuine fear of a threat. And in the case of this family, it seems like they were all mentally struggling, so I can understand them just doing what they were told especially since their lives didn't seem to oindependent from their parents to begin with.
Yes they were all adults which makes the case weirder. In Australia its not too common to still live with your parents as an adult.
Nothing bad actually happens in this case. No one dies, no one gets hurt... and yet it still gives me the creeps more than most cases the Ghoul Boys have covered. It's just so bizarre.
yeah, thats how i feel about the hag who spills teeth allover bedsheets
@@MegaMegajennifer woah, whats that?
@@ella-sj8bu odd, i thought i shared this link already. :/ kzhead.info/sun/eK-TetmHe5uId6M/bejne.html
it’s weird cuz of mark
I think the reason why is because it's clearly the unknown of what can happen to your mental state. It's terrifying to think that you could become delusional and not be in control to this degree.
Ryan, you forgot the theory where the parents become abducted by aliens. Since they are on a farm, it would only make sense.
Lyre Songbird dude yes!!!!
Lyre Songbird I was gonna say that say lol
Are you an idiot? It's obvious ghost are to blame.
I don't wanna be rude but seriously aliens.
I was just about to say the same exact thing
"Bat-hurst" *every Australian drops their bunnings snag in shock*
Jamie Jones whats a bunnings snag??
GiDD It’s a sausage in bread from a hardware store called Bunnings! They’re an iconic meal in Australia!
@@GiDD504 sausage in bread with sauce maybe onions. From a hardware store called bunnings. Its an Aussie staple. Not an Aussie if its not your favourite Sunday snack!
Jamie Jones you buy your food from a hardware store??
@@GiDD504 just the snag! They are always fund-raisers for community things. We have shopping centres. 🤣
I understand the family wanting to be private. It’s clearly some type of mental break that played off each other. It’s embarrassing to be thought of as crazy.
tbh, the only people who should be embarrassed are the people who would treat them poorly for being "crazy"
I mean how would you feel if you got tailgated you pull over and the driver gets out, sprints towards you, stops and then just calmly walks into the forest leaving their car behind?
If you guys didn't know, this family is now living on their farm as if nothing happened
PRODBYJB wait really?????
Zach T look it up
Fcking strange. Also I wonder why they only asked the one girl why they left? What did everyone else say? Did they all just not comment on it and only thanked people for the foncern?
Pink Panda yes! and they didn't bring up the other sister again (the one who was in the random guy's car). or did he, and i missed it? idk though; if it were me, i would've focused on her a lot more than the other 2 siblings
What about the girl who forgot her name?
Police officer: the weirdest case in 30 years Me:what happened 30 years before
ROBLOX IS LIFE!!!!! My exact thoughts haha
Azaria Chamberlain case.
LOL I legitimately wondered the same thing.
It's been 30 years since he started working for the police...
ROBLOX IS LIFE!!!!! Probably The Woman Who Ate Her Husband
I guess the best theory is that the parents experienced some kind of mental lapse and the kids just went along with it until they realized nothing was actually happening. If your parents never exhibit any signs of mental illness and they came up to you one day and told you someone was out to get you or something, you’d be inclined to believe them
Whole Family: *ditches phones* Mitchell: there is an imposter among us
are we just gonna ignore the girl who somehow ended up in a random guys truck without even knowing her name? what happened to her?
right? i just don’t understand how she ended up in the guys truck without him knowing. like did she crawl in or something i just don’t understand
helena_lang she probably crawled in at a gas stop or something
Ibuki Mioda sure but what was she doing there? Why crawl into someone’s truck instead of, you know, going inside and asking someone for help? And why didn’t she remember anything? There’s just a lot of weird loose ends with what happened to her.
Yeah that’s what I was wondering
Same😅
6:01 "The couple was playing Pokemon Go... " Me: *starts laughing*
I PLAY POKEMON GO EVERYdAy
I had the same reaction!
The worst part of that is having a creepy stranger following you and then stares at you for a creepy moment and leaves. Worst day to be playing Pokémon Go.
@Kashiko STILL?!
@@reiwuzhere8158 wha
As an Australian, hearing Bathurst pronounced as "Bat-hurst" is hilarious.
Do you know what was the conclusion of this case, since you are a Aussie..?
@@Uk-ct3zm in all honesty never even heard about it till I watched this. Im in VIC too, which is where Silvan is located. May have been a bigger story in NSW which is where Bathurst is....
Alex Draper how do you pronounce Bathurst?
GiDD hi, I’m an Aussie! It’s pronounced ba-th-urst. Like how British people say bath! 🛁
so is it bath- hurst or barth- hurst?
The one detail of this case that pinpoints exactly when this took place, is that the young couple in the car were playing Pokemon Go.
If you imagine that all the people speak with an Australian accent everything is not so creepy anymore
wait wow that actually worked
That made me feel cozy
How do you wprk that out idiot
Clearly you haven't seen Wolf Creek
FreeKickerz_Portland bad example of how australians talk
"Most bizarre case in 30 years"...what the hell happened 30 year ago then!!?
musicf3b that's what I want to know!
Well, Australia did have the Somerton Man, but that was almost 70 years ago
.
The Azaria Chamberlain case, it was in the 80s.
Jay Seps yep, 1980. I was going to say that, too. It also took 32 years to 'solve', it wasn't until 2012 that the coroners proved that a pack of dingos had taken her.
It’s creepy how me and my family went on a road trip to Queensland that year, around that time and stopped at Bathurst for the night. This is my first time hearing about this case and I find it creepily odd.
I was also roadtripping around that time in some of the same places!

i don’t get weirded out easily , but this case truly gives me the chills. when they mentioned the dad running towards the young couple and stopping in the middle of the road to stare at them, man that terrified me
Lol i get weirded out easily so the imagery of that scene also makes me nervous even tho its 4 pm
If that happened to me I woulda been too freaked out to drive away I think. I would have locked my doors and scooted down in my seat, praying that he doesn't step any closer. Hearing that experience already made me freeze in place with anxiety.
it was mentioned that the couple were playing pokemon go. this may be a stretch but i think its possible that the dad saw one or both on their phones and though they were tracking him. If this was his train of thought, he would know that his car and license plate are also compromised and might be why he left it there.
@@jacknewall5138 I think he thought the couple who were playing Pokemon go were actually contacting someone and telling him/her the location but why did he stop in the middle of the road and just stared at them is the real mystery
They were blue team, he was red

"This is what happens when you live on a farm" Something about that makes sense to me though lol
It actually kind of made sense to me because there are a lot of natural foods (which are grown on farms) that can cause hallucinations and bizarre behavior. I don't know what grows in that region but rye (bread), mulberries, honey, nutmeg are all fairly common foods that have been known to cause hallucinations. There's more but I don't remember them all.
sivonni I was thinking it could be ergots. They are a type of fungus that can cause hallucinations. But I think it could totally be something else related to food. Plus if it was something they all ate it would make sense why they all went on the crazy road trip.
I read that comment as he said it

Dana Elaine Goes to show what snowflakes trumpers are...can’t take or even get a joke?
this becomes instantly less scary if u remember that anything they said was in an australian accent
Folie a deux seems like the most likely reason. There is one person who gets the delusions and is the primary patient ( in my opinion I think it’s Mark Tromp bec he was the one who came back last and tried to continue on the trail) and the secondary patients seem to be Jacoba, Riana and Ella, who kinda ‘came back to their senses’ once separated from the primary source. And Mitchell seemed to have been just pulled along for the ride bec family.

I remember when this happened....everyone was expecting something terrible had happened to them, it was relief when they were found. They think the parents had convinced the kids they were all in danger so they went along with it until they realized their parents were behaving odd and they needed to go home. Weirdest thing is the pronunciation of the town names!!! Too funny :)

Why didn't they bring up Riana again? "She was just in the truck and had no memories" the end. What happened to her??

I can’t believe we have to pay for watcher
yeah, they really messed up on their financials and beg us to pay for it.. I think they suffer that "delusional loop" Ryan was talking about here
They gave up on it quick
My parents live on a piece of land in the middle of nowhere (the school has like max 30kids so like it’s the _middle of nowhere_ ) and I was forced to live there for a year. I gotta say, it was the most nightmarish experience I’ve ever had. My dad is mentally ill, so is my mum, and he was stocking up for an apocalypse of some kind with shelves and shelves of food. When he moved out there, he got into guns and began collecting them and spending time at the local shooting range. He set up cameras around the whole property and if he wasn’t as lazy as he was he would have set up cameras at my area too. He slowly got more and more into conspiracy theories, but he was doomed from the start, used to tell me when I was a preteen that “nobody can be trusted”. Managed to convince me of a few for a time. When I got out I was hesitant to leave, but then i never felt better. I wholeheartedly believe this was a case of collective paranoia. I may be biased but my guess is the dad started it and the mum only perpetuated it. The kids were roped in, hesitant but because of that innate trust in their parents they went along.
Wow, they're all still alive. And they know the truth. And they're probably watching this video, with a wide creepy smile on their face
Shalin Parikh Ahahah omg 😂 that's so scary

That exchange about Goldilocks and farms literally got me through being an essential worker in 2020. I listened to that part of the video so many times when I was about to have a panic attack.
Honestly what scares me about this case isn't the weird sudden delusions What creeps me out the most is how recent this was I mean come on the couple was playing pokemon go when this happened
It's Ya Boy Kiibo Kiibo is our Lord and savior
Well since it was in 2016, that’s when Pokemon Go was the thing. Almost everyone was playing it lol

Everyone's talking about the mystery and making jokes but no one has pointed out that the young couple was playing pokemon go and I think that might be the most relatable thing out of all the unsolved mystery's I've heard.
imagine working for the mafia cringe
@@Waynebruce07 they're different ppl bro
@@jeky11de okie , i forgot that.
Agreed
Pokemon go had 2016 Australia in a chokehold. Like 3 people in my area died that year because they were playing it and not paying attention.
Daddy's gone mad, hasn't he?!
then Mitchell boarded the train to Homewarts
Lmao, of course I'd find your comment. Love you, Riffy x
@@crimsonwolf96 lol\
Rifqah vS LMAO I LAUGHED AT THIS A LOT MORE THAN I WANTED TO
Potter!
I absolutely love the banter between Ryan and Shane. They sound like a married couple and it's hilarious.
"Off the grid, no more kids." Words I hold close to my heart.
That mannequin behind Shane is not okay, I just keep staring at it waiting for movement
LifeIsABeach3210 omg I didn't even notice it until you said something and now it's all I'm thinking
LifeIsABeach3210 right
me too hahahaha
LifeIsABeach3210 same I'm not even watching Shane at this point I'm just staring at it
Yeah but I do that with every mannequin
My question is how did they got home by themselves if they couldn't remember anything??????
Alydia Flowers true
not everyone didn't remember anything. I think it was just the oldest daughter or something that forgot her name and everything else
Alydia Flowers ture
Muscle memory??
Scared Antelope I don't think that'd be muscle memory. Muscle memory is like how you never forget how to ride a bike, your body automatically will do the motions again or like writing your signature. Unless maybe they went there all the time so they remember their way home, but that seems unlikely
As an Australian, this case is so weird to me. Most of the stuff you guys covered happened wayyy overseas. But I’ve BEEN to Goulburn, my school had an excursion to the caves there. It’s so weird to me
I love how they make these crimes and scary stories funny
Can you do the unsolved case of where my dad went
Wow this is sad
:((
He went to get his milk but never came back
He did the running man challenge
:((((((
Everyone's talking about the town called yass but there's a place called peepee falls in hawai
In Washington state, we got poo poo point.
H O L Y S H I T
Poo Poo Point is actually pretty cool- it has an extremely nice view of the mountains and forest
There’s a lake in Peru called lake titicaca
There's a town in Canada called Dildo.
Why were we all here rn and why are there only 31 comments.

Random Person i hate how true this is
The wheeze helps keep the nightmares at bay.
Random Person .
Two and a Half Men is Shane and Ryan + that weird fricken statue guy in the background.
It’s the irl men and black and I’m not kidding it’s one of there vids
This is DEFINITELY one of the more bizarre cases ever! I absolutely LOVE you too crazy guys!!! 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Lol
There is a town called YASS! I'm done
I thought that too! 😂
Ava Palma it's mostly all aboriginal names so yeah there some really weird names such as Woolloomooloo
MIGHTYHIGHLANDER 93 wow that's kinda cool didn't know that but DAMN that's a long name😂👍
Ava Palma Yaasss!
MIGHTYHIGHLANDER 93 NOT WEIRD DIFFERENT
"How much trouble could a family of farmers get into?" Depends on whether they were secretly sheltering the child of Anakin Skywalker
Vito C 😂
Lmao!
Or depending on crop their growing...
Look up the movie Pig Farm about a serial killer who is also a farmer (in Canada). That's a lot of trouble!
Luke?
How is this still unsolved? ASK THEM. They are alive and well 😂
family won’t say anything
This is lowkey really creepy for some reason like idk this just really scares me but I’ve been so interested in this whole thing ever since I heard of it
I'm surprised that there wasn't a theory that even mentioned aliens.
Cr!ngE W0rtHy true
Cr!ngE W0rtHy I feel if it had an alien theory it would be on the unsolved supernatural series
Cr!ngE W0rtHy trust me there was an Alien theory in the Aus media, but it was before they started to arrive home
Shane: Farmers and bears don’t mix Dwight K Schrute:👁👄👁

Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.
@@kace769 IDENTITY THEFT IS NOT A JOKE JIM
@@cronchcrunch MILLIONS OF PEOPLE SUFFER EACH YEAR!
@@OliWalsh38 MICHAEL!!!
rewatching this story when i’m older and i’m more familiar with my surroundings makes this case so much stranger. recognising all these names and even visiting them on my own family trip is so weird… i’ve been to warburton. i have friends who live in bathurst. i’ve been to the jenolan caves (they’re awesome btw if ur victorian i totally recommend). it’s surreal when such a strange case is so intertwined with my life lol
Thank goodness for Shane's humor cuz this is one F'd up tale!
Imagine your parents say we are going on a mystery road trip And halfway through they tell you to throw your phone out the car
🤣😂man I ain’t throwing my phone
I would threaten to call the police lmao
Nahhhh i wont throw
Yeah no, I'm keeping the phone.
I’d immediately and discreetly take off my phone case, hide my phone, and throw the phone case out pretending it’s my phone so I’d not attract their suspicion, then I’d talk to them about why I had to do that, then decide if I’m calling the cops or not
Riana Tromp came out and stated that her father was having a serious mental break down and made the family truly believe they were in immediate danger. They were also shown to have most likely suffered from "Folie á Deux" or "madness of the many" providing explanation for Riana's near-catatonic state and Mitchell's bizarre actions. She also stated that the family is safe and back to living their normal lives.
Folie à deux? Ça veut dire en fait la “madness of two” pas la folie de beaucoup
@@katsukibakugou5351 Sir, please don't speak "baguette"
@@katsukibakugou5351 I was just about to say, it was a case of folie a deux.
I read Folie à Deux and immediately thought of the fallout boy album
yeahhh i the sun 🌞 moon
“watch some “Two and A Half Men” I don’t care, just connect” 💀💀
I mean it was 2016. Pokémon Go was at its peak then.
The newest catchphrase - "Off the grid, no more kids!"
Kayla Bailey how is that a catchphrase
Scruffy the druggo because you're a dead meme i think
Jaylen Brown gnome child is a RuneScape character not just a meme.
what if the dad planned to commit a family suicide, gave some sleep/or other drug to all of them, then planned to drive the car off the cliff to the sea...that would explain the catatonic state the girl was in.
there were no trace of drugs @ 9:53
Gin Co *no trace of the family using drugs Meaning there was no evidence that the family did drugs before they disappeared
@Jérémy what in the world is ghb? I don't think I've ever heard of that one. Then again, there's alot of mess that ppl r making outta mixing a bunch of regular household cleaning supplies, wd40, etc. together with various things. Just to get a high of some sort these days.🤦🏼♀️ That I'm sure there's alot of drugs out there that ppl have made in their parents basements that idk about.🤷🏼♀️
@@MissChoksondik90 you sound old
Omg I was looking for something like this for a story I was writing, that way I make it sound real so the people who are reading my story feel like their apart of it as well.
I'm a little surprised someone in Hollywood hasn't already made this into a Hitchcock-esque film.
