Something about his eyes look very intimidating. He does not like like the type a person that someone would want to cross paths with in a dark alley at night
It's giving Charles Manson vibes
He had beautiful eyes
Crazy eyes 🤪
If you look in his eyes, it feels like there’s almost some madness to them, like somethings not right. There’s this glint that would make me backup if I saw them in person.
@@mjpretzel5354 Almost some madness?!!I think absolute madness! Charles Manson, Ted Bundy,had "crazy eyes" There's a picture I've seen of Lizzie Borden with those crazy eyes And most everyone is familiar with her notorious actions!🤪🔪🔪
I loved this. Can we have one with a more in-depth view into the life of Vlad the Impaler, Elizabeth Bathory or Genghis Khan?
A Genghis Khan episode would be great!
@@Christofion i agree
Genghis highkey the world’s most prolific killer
I think Elisabeth Bathory might have actually been innocent! There seems to be quite a bit of evidence showing how those around her had a lot of motive to set her up to look like a deranged killer. Check it out!
I honestly want a more in depth video of Vlad III Dracula / the Impaler
even in pictures he looks scary. I wonder if I would've encounter someone like him in real life, how scary or intimidating it'll be 😮
He was a Devil worshiper, and used jinns....
If you Worship devil you will gain power, but only a power of evil and destruction....nothing good will come out of it
Setai
i also see evilness and bad energy in his eyes
Arunima Saha,u look scary 2 look in mirror
Dominique is a great speaker and presenter, more videos should have her!
Thank you! I appreciate it.
Agreed! I love her storytelling
I agree she has a lovely speaking voice
Her voice is bland and boring. She sounds like a kindergarten teacher reading to her students.

Ok, I had lost hope for this channel after Ryan and Shane left but I like how Dominique is narrating this. Will keep watching for her!
Wait a minute they left? Why?
@@cocogonzalez7398 They started a new youtube channel called Watcher.
The narrator has an excellent voice for these type of videos.
It is well done! No vocal fry, no "like like"s. No uptalk. Thank you, Dominique!
Thank you!
@@ddibbell You are a amazing narrator
Love this historical information and the excellent narration. Keep these educational vids coming please!!
@@ddibbell yw! Hope to see more of you !
Nobody:
Me: Damn the animators did their job well drawing the scary features of Rasputin in Anastasia.😨
So I wasn't the only one who noticed!! They really paid attention to detail. The animated Rasputin looks scarily similar to the real Rasputin.
BuzzFeed, I haven't really cared about this channel since the ghoul boys left.
This lady needs more attention this episode is awesome. More of this.
Oh my god his eyes it's like looking straight into evil. The thumbnail gave me literal shivers.
He wasn't evil
The sin eat him up
He’s just Russian. His eyes aren’t ‘evil’
@@Thedarkestduchess maybe, maybe not.
but he *was* pretty scary. Both in his hypnotic behavior, and the fact that he survived multiple life-ending accidents and attempts on his life.
@@hobomike6935 Rasputin was actually very pious. And very good. He had a good, kind heart, and he loved God, Jesus and Spirituality so much. He emoted it.
He survived several attempts on his life because it wasn't his time. And he didn't survive arsenic laced cakes, Felix Yusupovs cohort did not lace the cakes. This is probably propaganda. In spite of his sins regarding sexual matters and vices, he was ultimately good.
I get chills when I see a photo of him. He gives off some very bad energy... I definitely wouldn't ever want to get involved with him.
it’s so…dark
True man the negative vibe I get whenever I do research on him I ignore it most of the time
He was not a bad man. He loved God and Jesus very, very much. He was not bad at all, other than his sexual desires. And, in that day and age, it actually wasn't that horrible a thing, believe it or not. Rasputin ACTUALLY healed the Tsarevich Alexei. He knew to not give the hemophiliac aspirin, unlike his other doctors. And he calmed the boy and his mother, which in turn, lessened the symptoms of the disease
@@Thedarkestduchess You do realize you're saying that all his crimes against God are justified (especially adultery and being a false prophet) because he worships the Lord and His Son. I myself am a Christian (albeit very detached and strongly disagree with a large majority of the Bible and I'm LGTBA+) and I explicitly remember that one of the Ten Commandments is "You shall not commit adultery."
@@Birdsong231 please, refrain from telling me what I AM SAYING! I am saying he was not evil. I'm a historian, with a degree in European history. I have a library full of books, and have decades of studies behind my statement. You have the thumbnail to this HORRENDOUSLY falsified video loaded with propaganda and peppered with folk knowledge of Rasputin, Dear. 👌
*_There was a cat that really was gone
Ra ra Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
But when his drinking and lusting
And his hunger for power
Became known to more and more people
The demands to do something
About this outrageous man
Became louder and louder_*
That's my jam!
Well presented, comprehensive and with information I've never heard before, even though Rasputin and the Romanov's have been covered by lots of other sources. Love the narrator's voice! Haunting History you have a new fan. 👍
Thank you!
Fun fact: Rasputin was poisoned with cyanide but he wasn't affected because he ate cake and drank wine in which the sugar neutralised the cyanide in his body
yep
Seeing many references related to the The Kingsman movie.
That's the story. I think it is exaggerated though. The man who killed his son with the potassium-cyanide laced pixie stick also ingested a lot of sugar the night of his death too(Halloween) but the results were very different. I think the story was made up to portray Rasputin as a more sinister character. It's amazing propaganda. I prefer the most likely made-up story.
How "Factual" is that actually. I mean scientifically you are possibly correct. So would you like to test that theory with me? Ill give you the cyanide and watch what happens while you eat cake and drink wine. k?
@@smoothjester07 or because he was a child, it affected him faster, then a grown man. Maybe his body had more time to counter act it?
Idk, agree so many tales and myths with him, who knows.
Fidel Castro: survived 634 assassination attempts on his life
Rasputin: *Impressive, most impressive*
It was a shame how he carried on!
At least amongst the old timers in my family, Fidel Castro was highly praised by Cubans for taking out the "American puppet" Batista.
@@attackofthetheeyecreatures3472 yeah, my mom's side of the family left because of Batista and his treatment of the lower classes (my dad's side is Irish-Russian and they've been in the country much longer). Reminds me of the other military dictatorships in the Americas...such a repressive time in history
I would love a video on Castro
@@AverytheCubanAmerican It's pretty typical that we'd get one side of the story (or complete lies) since America has been wanting control of Cuba for a long time now. But then I hear my grandparents and great grandparents say what they say. It's like when the weather channel says it's sunny exactly where I'm at and I look outside and it's snowing.
I really love that we get to see the storytellers finally! It’s nice to put a face to a voice, and to know a nice person is there while I’m watching some creepy content😂
His eyes look so haunting...
Loved this episode! Dominique Dibbell is as always, engaging and incredible. I think she could read the ingredients of a shampoo and it would still be amazing
Thanks so much. This was very interesting.
He's so weird. He can just give you weird sensation of uneasiness just by looking at his photographs.
17:58 that voice crack thou
There lived a certain man
In Russia long ago
He was big and strong
In his eyes a flaming glow
most people looked at him
with terror and with fear
but to Moscow chicks
he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the Bible like a preacher
Full of ecstasy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire
Ra ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
Ra ra Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
@@mugdhan1415 There was a cat that really was gone

Absolutely loved the narration! Good Job
this was such a fascinating and well made video, i loved watching it! so interesting to learn more about rasputin, i never even knew half of the things that were presented in this video. keep up the great work
Great content and series. Looking forward to more!
That was fascinating. Thank-you! Yes, more please.
The fact that it took so much to kill him says alot about this man . He was definitely a talented puppet master / con artist ..in another world he would have made an amazing human being .
isn't he the guy who would have sex with animals?
Hey look, Rasputin is micheal morbius!
There is also the theory that the murder clique invented those stories because they wanted to emplify their actions
The autopsy showed it didn't take much at all to kill him; just a bullet to the brain.
It doesn't. IT's all a lie. No actual sources claim this
Dominique's voice is so powerful. I hope she's in more stuff!
this was great! thank you.❤
Rasputin was so powerful that no one really knew how he was , even today .
That was awesome! Haunting History for the win!
Thanks for the information!
Regards from 🇨🇱 Chile
Great video 👍 would love to see more
Wonderful, I am so glad I found this channel.
This episode was amazing! She is very good at storytelling.
I already learned everything I need to know about Rasputin from Boney M. He was a cat that really was gone, huh?
LOL
Thanks i already knew the basis of the story of his life but you gave me sooooo much more info! 😄
Great episode 👍
About his death; it's possible that the assassins were either dumbasses (ie got the dose of poison wrong, shot him in the foot or arm or somewhere else that wouldn't kill you) or just made the story up entirely to make it seem like they were these super cool guys that took down this terrible evil
Very informative. Great channel!
I loved how the narrator presented this story. Engaging and incredible.
So I'd given up on this channel because I had not been impressed with the quality of videos. Because of the topic and the length of the video I decided to give it another try. Some of the shorter videos seemed like they lacked research so the length gave me hope. I'm only about 4 minutes into this one and I can already say that this voice actress is amazing and makes me way more interested in the content
Thanks so much! This was a fun one.
Very interesting and nicely done. Good info thx
I love this and I love the lady who did the narration keep her!!
Tnx for this 🎉🎉🎉
Again, love this host. She's got a smooth presentation style and good voice. Enjoy her v ideos. Among the other lovely hosts you have. Very good.
That man has the devil behind his eyes
He does for sure.
I loved this so much!
Great video!
I loved this also and would love to see more!!! ❤
this was so interesting, i'd love to see a video on Elizabeth Bathory!
The story about Elizabeth was made up by the habsburgs who wanted to take her money. And power. But yes, it is interesting 🤔
Wow, that was something special. More like this please, if you can fathom it!
I'm convinced he wouldn't have seemed half as scary if he didn't have those crazy effing eyes
As a small scary story creator 👻, I know how much work is put into your videos. I appreciate the hard work you do for us ❤ never stop making videos.
Wow I love your scary stories. I subbed
Not bad I like your scary stories content
👍 👍
I'll check your stories out
I loved this!
A very good video and explanation.
It’s so weird that the myths about him persist to this day. I had known him as this great mystical figure and now I see that much of that was propaganda. We need more videos like this, examining this larger than life historical figures
Damn .... Been waiting for a BuzzFeed video on Rasputin for so long
Excellent, thank you
Would love to see you guys do a video about Mansa Musa! Always interested in him and his vast wealth.
Great suggestion!
this was excellent
If you wanna make video about the mysterious unsolved case then "The Royal Massacre of Nepal" can give you thrill.
Hope you will bring this video too..
This is something I'd love to watch and recommend! I hope you cover the Philippines' Marcoses. Surely appropriate for the Haunting History.
Wow AWESOME JOB 👍💕💓😍😃😄 KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK 👍💓💕😄😄😄
you have the most amazing beautiful clearest soothing voice ❤
I like you and your channel. As a young man, i aspite to carry myself like you on these vodeod, with a moxy of sincerity backed behind the confidence of raconteur without peer. Thankyou for these videos
Interesting documentary
The song based on him is stuck in my head. Hell forever be a respected guy
Yes please! MORE AMAZING HISTORY. Maybe the Toxic Lady: Gloria Ramirez.
Wow now I know where Charlie Manson got those eyes
🤣🤣🤣
This is how this channel should stay 👍
Bravo !
i love the host!!
Why, thank you!
I liked this speaker ! Listening to this was more interesting with her narration
Rasputin as word has come to mean a manipulative, dangerous, charismatic man who cannot be trusted. But that's due to Grigory Rasputin himself, not the surname's Russian meaning. A good video otherwise, just got the cart before the horse there.
I think “putin” beats him out.
Sort of like how Judas was a Judas?
@@leandradozier968 What does Putin's name mean??
I really like her videos!
this is so cool
watching while at work 😅🙂
This lady is PHENOMENAL
This channel is like the history channel
The narrator is my favorite from buzzfeed
would love to see a video about Marquise de Sade.
*Marquis
A fascinating man - how he managed to live through so much turbulent French history is a lesson in itself
Can We please have an episode/exposé of The Vrill Society?
This just made me realize where the Kings Man details came from as far as their fight with Rasputin goes 🤣
We are learning about this in my history class rn
This presenter is great! like your cool history professor
“He has enough for all” aka he for the streets.
Remember that SNES fighting game, World Heroes 2, where Rasputin was a playable character? Remember his super move where he basically pulls his opponent into a flower bed and does ungodly things to them? Makes more sense now.
I recently watched the last kings man with my husband and the Russian character portrayed in the move reminds me of Rasputin I’d recommend watching it!
Because it IS Rasputin. 🙄
Good work, way way way better than Aria!
from the mystery book of 'mysteries of the
unexplained', rasputin's mesmerizing eyes,
a key to his power, were once described by
prince felix yusupov, who later claimed to
be the monk's murderer: 'his eyes shone
before me like a kind of phosphorescent
light. from rasputin's eyes came two rays
that flowed into each other and merged
into a glowing circle, i was gradually fallin'
into the power of this mysterious man'.
I loved every That something is scary and true storys
One of the most mysterious/ ingesting men ever
Wow, I've never seen photos from the autopsy or of his body by the riverside!! I didn't even know such photos existed. It's interesting that his feet are tied, but his arms aren't.
I swear.... "Vladimir" and "Rasputin" are the 2 most iconic russian names 🧐
Yep and Putin
14:30
In fact, the poison used was kalium cyanide and
the cakes & wine sugar is known to nullify or at least reduce to harmlessness its effects
I'm in my 30's, have heard the song titled Rasputin played endlessly since childhood, and somehow, only looked up the lyrics today. I'm like, what? This is about a real person?! And some google searches lead me to this video. Wow. I've seen stuff like this in Korean period dramas, the confidant of the royalty will attract the jealousy of the court, and those court people will conspire to eliminate that one person. Like Daniel in the Bible, where the king's court set a trap to have Daniel thrown into the lion's den. Politics and power play then and now. Sigh* Thank you, Dominique Dibbell, for a thorough storytelling. Much appreciated. ❤
I love the disco song Rasputin by the group Boney M!! It tells the « story » of Rasputin..
Yesss
I love how my I am learning more about Rasputin with this video, but as I am watching it…I cannot stop hearing the song by Boney M as I’m watching it 😂
This ladies great! Do more videos with her
Still can't believe I know his name because of the movie Anastasia.
Very good. In Andrew Cook's book, it is mentioned that he was shot 3 times and that the bullets were of different calibres. The two shots to the body were fired at close range and the shot to the forehead was even closer and while he was lying down. The bullet wound to the forehead is also a lot larger and suggests it was a .455 bullet like the ones used in Webley revolvers which were issued to the British soldiers. In fact there is a good chance that the British were involved in the murder. Several officers were stationed in Petrograd and Oswald Rayner who was part of the secret service, in his later years confessed to being in the palace on the night of the murder. A message was also sent back to Britain stating along the lines that "Dark forces" had been taken care of. Dark forces being a codeword for Rasputin. The reason for the British involvement could well be that they feared Russia who were allies in the war might seek a seperate peace with Germany which would be devastating for Britain as Germany would no longer have to fight a war on both fronts (East and West) and could instead send all their soldiers west.
It is not conclusive proof, but what is true is that Oswald Rayner and others were in Petrograd at the time, messages were sent to Britain, Rayner did confess to playing a role or at least being there and the bullet wound matches that of a Webley which was a British issue firearm.
It's also strange that gunshots were heard at 2:30 a.m, the police visited the palace and were told of the murder, then at around 6 in the morning more gunshots were heard in the courtyard. 3 and a half hours is a long time to survive a shot to the liver which should have killed him in 20 minutes.
