The 10 Best Buzzfeed Unsolved Episodes
YouTube

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
