Shane and Ryan was the only thing keeping this channel alive bro 💀
Nah because seriously💀
For real tho 😭🤌🏻
Agreed
Well yeah its what we get for putting people who arent making it entertaining in it. i couldnt even sit through the whole video while i was doing office work
Yes
I know everyone misses Shane and Ryan but can we not undermine the work of this lovely lady? They have their own channel and we can support them there! Let’s please just leave the past in the past and get excited for new ventures!
It is so great to see you again! I love your reporting and your miniatures sets, You are truly talented in both ways. Please continue to do these videos. They are perfect !
Do an unsolved with Shane and Ryan on the man from tuared
I like Shane and Ryan but I looooove the mini-set. It feels like you are there !
I am living for your hair! So beautiful! 🤩❤️🥰 As usual, loved the episode. ☺️
Thanks for sharing. I haven't heard about this before. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤
The miniature sets are sooo cute and fill the screen with something interesting rather than stock footage. I love it.
The narration on this is engaging and calming. I like this young lady. 👍
Damn…You are a seriously talented artist/model maker!! Always impressed by your work 😮
Oh cool I was just wondering if you would make more episodes, I love your models, they’re so interesting.
Good job, I liked this version of the WDT story. As always these have a good creep factor. + Miniatures 😁
Is this a new series? please make more!!!!!!
its been going on for a while actually.
I tried to look for more and only found this one .....I'll have to do more digging
She did lizzie borden before recreating the house
Great format! Very creative
A book published in the 1980s called "A Cast of Killers" explored the murder of Taylor and director King Vidor's personal investigation of it. It was written by Sidney Kirkpatrick. No conclusions were presented, and I cannot remember a mention of the deathbed confession - it's been nearly 40 years since I read the book. It was a good read, and now that I'm reminded of it I'll read it again.
Thanks for sharing the book info. It would be interesting to read it now.
@@daynasafranek7807 I can't say it's the best book on the subject because others have been published since and I haven't read those. Also, it was along time ago and tastes change, but I did enjoy it at the time.
@@agcons I remember reading that book - long ago, like you. I thought the author (or someone) had come to the conclusion that the likely suspect was Mary Miles Minter's mother (try saying that ten times fast). Seems more likely than some forgotten actress whom Taylor had little to do with later in his life. Also, no motivate was provided (nor any for her shady associates either) to kill him. If he was being blackmailed, they'd want to keep him alive. And let's not forget that the whole testimony about her death-bed confession was hearsay.
What about those brothers in Michigan that fed those hunters to... pigs. ew
Keep up the good work! Always love seeing these little sets!
Well done. Nice narration. Refreshingly not a person with fry voice, thank you.
I hope this channel continues.
I love seeing these "miniature" videos~
Was interested based on the series premise but then went hooray on realizing I was getting a miniature set with host/miniaturist Carol too!
Dear BFUN you inspired us to open our own "true crime" channel. Thank you!
well done ty
Loved it, hope for more in the future. Master artist of miniatures😁😁
There was an awesome podcast regarding this murder
Hey, Carol! 👋
I don't believe the neighbors saying she gave a deathbed confession nor do I believe they never heard of the murder case. They wanted their 15 minutes of fame.
I love Carol's hair
It's almost like I've heard this story somewhere before...
I need the deep voice guy
Wouuld love to see a video about the disappearance of Sneha Anne Philip
The neighbors not only hadn't heard of Tsylor she didn't know Gibson had been an actress since she changed her name
Nice video 📹 👍
Damn…It's like a documentary video. Keep investigation on it ma man
I have a question can you guys talk about case of Junko Furuta
They already did
I saw in another video in which the narrator stated Mary married a guy when she was16, but her mother had it either annulled or she got divorced. Therefore , she was not a virgin when she befriended William.
Is the miniature set the model of the directors house?
You should talk about the man from taured
So BuzzFeed is so full of ideas that they made the exact same video twice?
I always thought it was the actress who killed him
Interesting case
I found this to be good, because a lot of Taylor followers don’t know about gibson
ya need to explain the rothschild family
Does this have anything to do with the Podcast called “Deathbed Confessions,” a very well done story telling podcast who featured this story over a year ago? I feel like the answer is no.
yeah, that one is made by the Parcast network which does excellent content in general. feels like a very unfortunate coincidence. i doubt it’s an intentional one given how generic a title _Deathbed Confessions_ is (given that it’s about. deathbed confessions.) and this is clearly a continuation of this lady’s ongoing ‘mini diorama’ series. but i doubt she’s got the research team and latitude behind her that Parcast does, so the video just falls a little bit short. it’s a pity, i think this series could work really well if they just covered cases from elsewhere in the world that are less well known.
miniatures r so cute
2:53 dang
Nice
Please 🙏 make episode about asmahan
There's a podcast called death bed confessions
I came here to say that. It covered this story already…and did a much better job lol
Shane and Ryan already did a Buzzfeed Unsolved episode on WDT and his murder
time to move on, brah
So no one else can?
But they did mention the death confession, which I believe Shane and Ryan did not. 👍
That was "Unsolved" Now it might be.
Yeah it's really weird that people go on these videos to complain that it's NOT Ryan and Shane or that Ryan and Shane did it before or could do it better blah blah blah. Just go over to Watcher to scratch your unsolved itch and let these people make their content for people that DO enjoy it!
Oh hell nah, where ryan and shane?!
If your hair isn’t actually blue, you should color it blue. It really suits you!
A very small area of her hair looks blue because of the reflection of the blue light behind her.
What happend to shane and ryan
The new people are okay I guess kinda hard to follow up on Ryan and Shane
What happened with Shane and Ryan
Taylor has a strange resemblance to Christian Bale (or vice versa).
Missing Ryan and Shane
WHERE MY BOIS AT?
Who even are u😭 where’s Shan and Ryan😭😭😭☀️
Ah....where Shane
At this point they are trying everything to keep the channel floating ! Why not stick to something and make it better with each upload?
Well done! Clear, concise and poignant. I recommend a partner in crime, as it were. Banter is lively and attractive to viewers.
Yay!! Love her!
Mate what 💀
slay!!!
Who do you love?
Did Shane and Ryan left?
Are you live in cave? They left years ago. But now they have their own company producing various shows on youtube
heavy stuff. will she be absolved of her sin even though a priest was not present at the confession? how does unloading her concience before death, help her find peace? there remains details to corroberate her story.
Wtf is this where are the other 2 guys
Videos with these mini-models are the *ONLY* good thing left on this channel without Ryan and Shane.
True crimes and the supernatural series by Shane and Ryan was the life line of this channel.
I miss Shane and Ryan as that's only reason why I watch these videos they make this channel more enjoyable
okay??? who cares. move on, they have their own company now
Ditto Ji!!
@@kirbbb1995 a lot of people care. U don’t have to be rude lv
When need Shane and Ryan back
Tea and biscuits and murder! I'm Dr Allen Campbell your host and you're not
I miss shane and ryan, loved their ghost adventures aswell, wish they whent to other haunted placed though not just tourist money grabbing "haunted" places but actual haunted locations
You guys should bring Shane and Ryan back to discuss different serial killers throughout the centuries. That should be a good amount of videos to bring them back for a while!
Super safe sheep
thats the good stuff i wanne see guys.... not that shits.... meant shorts
i wish shane and ryan go to diplomat hotel i think it would be terrifying (:
everythings a joke too u guys isn't it?
Yes got a problem with it?
Hi
POV: you are still watching old videos by Ryan and Shane.
I miss Ryan and Shane
This channel has gone down hill since Shane and Ryan left. Moral of the story: don’t take advantage of your employees
DAWG WE GET IT
From Unsolved to Solved. Huh.
Hey BuzzFeed can you think about making a video with Shane and Ryan exploring the Elma Murder case of Christmas?
So, it’s Buzzfeed Unsolved, but not nearly as funny or entertaining.
BOOOOOOO
Just watch a few minutes of the show on Hulu and yeah no thank you they never shut up. I wanna hear the story not them laughing and crap. Would be awesome if they would shut up!
wheres shane and ryan??? 😢😭😭
This is not meant to be a diss, but isn’t this the exact same script as Shane and Ryan’s video on the topic?
Ghoul Boys did it!!
I literally stopped watching buzzfeed cause there's no Shane or Ryan. all I do is binge watch the ones with them
I feel like this is AI Alexa's sister is talking, damnit i missed shane and ryan 😭 This speaker is boring, its like listening to my history teacher.
Is that a model house ?😅
Uninterested narration made me want to click away but I had this on autoplay while trying to sleep. Sounded like a confused student giving a report about things they didn't really research or understand.
I feel the same way she's just reading something soon boring
It’s the plagiarism for me 🙄 I’m finally unsubscribing
Technically it's not because they were working at buzzfeed at the time.
@@kylieboag8624 you can self-plagiarize.
Did he live in a Wendy house?
People only liked Shane and Ryan 💀💀💀
Is Shane and Ryan ok
Yes
@@Floedekage thank yiu
They make videos on “the watcher” now
Go to Watcher! They're more than okay! SPOILER ALERT** The REAL professor and the Bergmeister have been reunited!
Comment 33 and Like 333. 😎👍 OK BYE!! 👋 😅
bring Shane be Ryan back, this is wack and they already reported on this case......
More recycled content, as per usual for buzzfeed. There's a thousand different channels that do these type of videos and do it way better.
Shane and Ryan back please. I’ll be unsubscribing until then . Thanks . Bye
click bait. I hate them.
