In This Article:

Buzzfeed Unsolved is a Youtube series where Shane Madej and Ryan Bergara explore true crime cases and supernatural phenomenon. The seasons go back and forth between analyzing unsolved crimes and visiting "haunted" locations. What makes Buzzfeed Unsolved so entertaining is the relationship between Shane and Ryan.

They are good friends and coworkers but have a continuing argument about whether or not ghosts are real. Ryan is an avid believer, and viewers often watch him become spooked by gusts of wind or weird creaks. Shane, on the other hand, does not believe in ghosts or the paranormal at all (other than aliens), so he is usually laughing while Ryan loses his mind.

Here is a list of my favorite episodes.

10. The Creepy Murder in Room 1049

This is the sixth episode of the second season of True Crime. Unlike most true crime episodes, I was not left with my own opinion on what could have happened. In a lot of famous unsolved cases (i.e. the JonBenet Ramsey case, Lizzie Borden), people familiar with the events have a firm belief of who did it and why, even if the case is not officially solved.

I tend to be one of those people, who make up my own mind from the facts laid out in front of me. This case, however, left me really stumped. There are literally no suspects and no obvious motive, and the victim (who was interviewed soon after his attack) would not give up who had attempted to murder him. This video will definitely make you think.

9. The Bizarre Road Trip OF A Missing Family

Another interesting True Crime episode is the story of the Tromp family. It is an interesting case because everything actually ends with everyone getting home safely. Although this may sound strange, the story itself is actually stranger. There is no murder or kidnapping (well, their kind of is), but there is plenty of confusion and speculation.

8. The Haunted Decks of the Queen Mary

The Queen Mary is an interesting ship for multiple reasons. The first one is that it used to be called the Grey Ghost (sick ass name). The second is because it's probably haunted. In the seventh episode of the first Supernatural season, the boys explore the Queen Mary and hunt for some of it's... older passengers.

I love this episode because we get Ryan's origin story. He talks about the events that led him to start believing in ghosts, much to the taunting of Shane. Do you think the toothpaste was moved by a ghost? Watch to find out.

7. The Murders That Haunt The Lizzie Borden House

This episode is interesting because it is a combination of a True Crime episode and a Supernatural episode. Officially, it is the sixth episode in the second season of Buzzfeed Unsolved: Supernatural. However, anyone who knows the Lizzie Borden case will probably consider it to be "unsolved".

The boys are able to go to the house that the murders took place in, and attempt to connect to some of the spirits there. They also explain the history of the case and open up the possibilities of other suspects and their motives.

6. The Spontaneous Human Combustion of Mary Reeser

This episode is extremely interesting because it is a case of human combustion. Am I sure that spontaneous human combustion is actually possible? Unsure. But, there's no possible other explanation. Actually, they talk about some other explanations, but they're equally as strange. Maybe it was aliens?

​​5. The Tragic Murder of JonBenet Ramsey​​

Even if you are familiar with the case of JonBenet Ramsey, this video is interesting for a number of reasons. There were suspects brought forward that I had not heard of before, even though I've watched a few documentaries about it in the past.

The boys spend time poking holes in the theory that her parents or brother had a hand in her murder, which is something that most documentaries don't do. It is also refreshing to see the boys talk about something this serious without making too many jokes, but still getting to see their personalities come through.

It is a hard case to talk about without feeling like you're tiptoeing around the heartbreaking details, but they are able to do it well.

4. The Haunted Halls of Waverly

This is the first episode of their supernatural season that I watched. I will admit, the first time I saw it, I couldn't sleep afterward. However, I am afraid of literally everything, and ghosts tend to scare me. After watching it for a second or third (or sixth) time, I've found that it's really not even that scary.

We have a cool dog (the dog dies though... rip), a ghost child who likes to smoke weed, and a lovely death tunnel! The fourth episode of the second season is full of solid quotes (it's where the infamous line, "hey ghouls... the boys are here!" came from) and plenty of freak-outs by Ryan.

3. The Mysterious Disappearance of the Sodder Children

This video holds a special place in my heart because it was actually the first Buzzfeed Unsolved video that I watched. Before this video, I had no idea the show existed, even though it already had a pretty large following. It is the 9th video in the first season of True Crime, and it details the disappearance of five children.

For longtime fans, seeing the simple backdrop and the exposed lighting will probably be a little bit of a nostalgia trip. As the show progresses, their set gets a little more interesting: fun props, a bulletin board, and a mannequin that has a mind of its own.

This episode is fantastic for a number of reasons. Mainly, I think it is a good representation of the boys' humor. It is a little morbid, as they are talking about people threatening to murder others and whatnot, but it makes hearing about a difficult topic a little bit easier.

2. The Haunting of Hannah Williams 

The final episode of the fifth season is possibly the scariest. For the first time, the boys do a house-call. They visit their coworker, Hannah, who has recently moved into her new home with her husband and children. This house is full of spooky happenings, including the classic sound of footsteps in the attic, alarms being triggered, and strange nightmares being reported by the children.

The graphics they use also make the episode so startling because the images are something that is almost impossible to get out of your mind. Seriously, the picture they use for "Matilda"... good luck not having nightmares.

1.The Demonic Goatman's Bridge

This is the best episode of Buzzfeed Unsolved. Change my mind.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
