Do you love mysteries? Love learning about weird and creepy events? Here's what you need: Rob Dyke. Rob Dyke is a YouTube sensation who studies and shares creepy and very interesting murders, diseases, crazy accidents, among other things. I am totally obsessed because I love learning, especially about weird and creepy mysteries. These are a few of my favorite series that he has created.
1. Anatomy of a Murder and Serial Killer Files.
In these series of episodes, Rob explores the steps of a specific murder that has occurred and analyzes the possible reasoning and motives behind them. He really tries to dig deep and find out who these people were and what led them to do what they did. I would recommend the episode about the killer lobster boy. This one is about a boy with a physical deformity (electrodachtyly) that made his hands look like those of lobsters. He was in a sideshow for gawkers of his condition, and ended up being a vicious murderer.
2. Twisted Tens.
Twisted Tens are episodes that are centered around 10 of the same types of events (i.e. kids who have killed their family members, 10 photos taken right before death, etc.) I think that my favorite twisted ten is an episode about chilling 911 calls. I particularly enjoyed this episode because Rob looked at these 911 calls that just had strange things happen to the callers, things that didn't make sense, and I felt like I was there at the scene by the details. Some of these cases discussed were never solved, so that really strikes the mystery and curiosity lover in me. I was also intrigued by the episode about sites on the deep web — it was a bit disturbing and unsettling but also intriguing. Very interesting series.
3. Seriously Strange.
The Seriously Strange episodes are about varying weird occurrences and coincidences that have happened. Some of them are really creepy. I really like the ones that are not really explainable because they kind of leave it up to your imagination. There are lots of fun ideas for how something could have happened.
4. Social Autopsy.
Social Autopsies are fun because Rob breaks down "normal" social events and makes a point that the social norms that we have are sometimes really weird and backward. I particularly enjoy these because I find that I think of these things too and analyze why social norms are the way they are. My favorite episode is Why Boobs Make Sense. It's pretty funny how he connects boobs to saving lives, due to using boobs and good looks to get information or items that a woman wants. "Boobs = Win" - Rob Dyke
5. Scary Story Readings.
Sometimes I feel like just listening to a story, and I love a good scary story. Of course, I opt for a Rob Dyke reading because he just has that scary story reading voice. I love these when I am driving long road trips or just bored. Crank up the creepy!
