Video Summary
AI GeneratedAn explorer journeys to the world's deadliest islands to uncover hidden histories and biological threats. From investigating WWII anthrax contamination in Scotland and paranormal claims on Italy's Poveglia Island to navigating treacherous quicksand to find plague-victim coffin mounds on Dead Man's Island, the narrator blends scientific inquiry with high-risk urban exploration.
I've explored some of the deadliest islands in the world.
From those covered in a toxic bacteria
to ones infected by the bodies of plague victims.
There's literally bones everywhere.
And to one that I've never shown that very nearly ended my life.
Stay there, stay there, stay there.
Out of there Diaz, get out of there, get out.
Oh my God!
Here's my full experiences of going to islands no one should ever go to.
Starting with...
This island has been covered in a toxic chemical called anthrax
that has a 90% chance of killing you if you breathe it in.
And so, I'm going.
Anthrax Island is located in a remote part of Scotland
where the government used it to test biological weapons.
We made it to Scotland. Anthrax Island, here we come boys!
Are we in Scotland?
You are in Scotland, yes.
Oh my gosh, where are we?
We're in a Stephen King novel again.
To the edge of the world.
This is honestly nuts!
Basically, we're on the rural roads of Scotland.
We need to try and convince someone with a boat
to bring us over to Anthrax Island and bring us as close as possible.
You told me you had a plan.
Plan is a strong word.
I'm in the middle of actually nowhere.
Oh my gosh, where are we?
Now that we're coming into the area surrounding Anthrax Island
we have to be especially careful.
This place has a tiny population
and makes the likelihood of running into the owners of Anthrax Island
pretty high.
In this video, I was being pretty dumb
and telling the entire world that I was going to claim Anthrax Island
by getting a load of people to sign a petition
and I had no idea it was going to backfire like this so quickly.
But how did these guys know my plan?
We've come to a random place
which is an hour and a half away from the place.
Apparently we've met the nephew of the owner of Anthrax Island
and he's in this pub.
I'm going to go in there and I'm going to confront this man
and I'm going to tell him right to his face that Anthrax Island is ours.
You got that?
I'm looking for the owner of Anthrax Island, do you know him?
And after coming so far,
I was suddenly face to face with the one man
who stood in my way from claiming the island.
I am the rightful inheritor of Anthrax Island.
What's your name?
Dharata.
Paperwork.
Have you not seen the amount of people who have signed this petition?
What? He said it's illegal to shoot.
It's illegal to shoot.
These guys were super angry and scary.
They were threatening to shoot us
if we trespassed on their island.
So I thought it was time we got out of there fast.
But there was one last thing I wanted to tell them
before we left.
I'm going to go over to that island tomorrow
and I am going to take it from you and your family by force.
And I will do it right in front of you guys.
I don't care.
And so me and the crew left immediately
to figure out how to take this man's island
without him being able to stop us.
I told them to their face I was going to take their island.
But I didn't tell them when.
They probably don't expect us to get there at 5am.
Okay, so we're coming up to the harbour.
This man does not know
that we want to actually get onto the island.
It's finally happening.
This is crazy.
Just need to convince the captain to bring us as close as possible.
Here we go. Anthrax Island.
Here we come.
How are they going to stop us from taking it now?
There she blows.
This is our baby right here.
Woah, that was crazy.
We're slowing down.
We're here guys, we're here.
How do you feel being so close to it?
This is weird isn't it?
I got a head rush to be honest.
Time to go claim an island.
We got to move quickly.
Plenty of people come out, they want to see it.
But this is about as close as we'll go.
We'll take the end.
This is about as close as you're going to get.
We're at Anthrax Island.
Woah, woah, woah, woah.
We're going to have to come down.
I'm not too fond with jumping in so
please can you take us close to the shore?
Yeah.
Elliot, come on, come on, come on.
Honestly, we don't have any time.
We need to go.
We had made it onto Anthrax Island,
the most toxic and dangerous island in the world.
Now I just had one last thing to do
in order to establish my empire.
Guys, it has taken us a long time to get here
but we're here to all adversity.
We're not meant to be here.
This is the most deadly island in the world.
We can only be on here for a couple of minutes.
In this life, it's not often you get handed things.
If you want something, you've got to go get it, boys.
We're about to claim a goddamn island.
Please, please, please.
But something really, really weird
happened to that island
as soon as I uploaded that video.
Oh, the fire.
Matt, you want to come in?
Glasses off.
Someone found out we'd obviously been on the island
since we'd just put up a video about it
and they set fire to it.
This island was way more important than maybe we thought
and someone was trying to hide something.
So we went back to the island.
But we didn't just go back,
we stayed overnight.
This is Anthrax Island.
It's an island covered in toxic bacteria called Anthrax
that has a 90% chance of killing you
if you breathe it in.
And this is my last bit of fresh air
for the next 24 hours.
We spent the night here.
Oh my God.
Good luck, boys.
I'll see you in 24 hours if you're not dead.
We're on our own now.
We need to filter out the water.
But instantly, I had a problem.
I had cut my foot jumping off the boat
and now had an open wound on an island
that during World War II
had been used as a biological testing site
where they bombarded it with Anthrax bombs.
If any Anthrax got into my cut,
I could be in serious danger.
Oh, lad.
It's in your lungs
and you definitely don't want it in a cut either.
Yeah, disinfect that ASAP.
But why would I come to such a dangerous place?
Well, the government have made several attempts
to clean the island.
But after a mysterious fire broke out last year as well,
I believe it's still contaminated
and they're trying to hide it.
And so I'm going to prove it by finding some evidence.
Let's go find out what they're hiding.
Now we wait.
There seems to be absolutely nothing on the island.
Everything is just burnt.
What the hell is this?
I can't see where it's totally charred.
I've just found the skull of a sheep here.
I'm literally only seeing skulls.
There's no living animals here.
Oh, wow.
There's just bones and skulls everywhere.
Okay, we need to find out where this fire started.
So nobody knows how the fire started,
but the locals on the mainland were terrified
that the Anthrax would go airborne
and infect their villages.
But since then,
no one has come out to physically examine the island
until now.
All right, now this looks really odd to me.
This is very, very burnt and charred here.
This looks like a bonfire right here.
But then there's just another one over here.
One there, one there, one just over here.
Someone has built up five bonfires
and put gasoline between them
and tried to light them all up.
This is absolutely not an accident.
Now that we know that this was clearly intentional,
we need to find out who started the fire
and get them to admit that they're trying to hide
that Anthrax is still on the island.
And so I've got my friends Quintin and Ellie
on the mainland.
We're going to do some investigating.
Ellie, we need you to find out who started this fire.
Okay, we will find him, Dara,
and we will interrogate him.
Are you guys familiar with Grinyard Island?
Are you familiar with Grinyard Island?
Well, you guys saw the fire?
Yeah, I saw the smoke from here.
And you saw it too?
No idea how it started.
We saw it start.
You do get wildfires around here?
A wildfire in Scotland?
It's cold here.
I can tell you a good person to go and talk to.
And you can tell him I sent Gary Ross.
Ask Gary Ross who set fire to Grinyard Island.
He works for the Grinyard Estate.
And he'll know the answer?
I don't know whether he'll tell you the truth, I doubt it.
We now have a prime suspect for who started the fire.
So while Ellie and Quintin hunt him down,
me and Matt have another important job to do.
We're going to now go to loads of different locations
on the island
and test it for Anthrax.
The only way to truly prove that they are hiding
that this island is still infected with Anthrax
is to test it ourselves.
You ready to go out and brave the Anthrax again?
I guess so.
I'm kind of dehydrated.
I'm about to do this.
It was a bit silly.
Okay, let's go.
We're about to massively increase the risk
of being on this island right now.
We're going to dig up 10 soil samples from the ground
where Anthrax spores can survive for hundreds of years.
And digging them up,
soil sample one,
could release the spores into the air.
I don't know if this is going to be a friendly greeting.
Oh my god, this is where he lives.
Gary's house is literally through these bushes.
This is literally straight out of a horror movie.
Alright, let's go.
Quintin, this is spooky.
Soil sample six.
Sample seven.
Sample eight.
Two more samples, we're nearly there.
Sample nine.
Just one more left.
Hi, sorry sir, is your name Gary Ross?
Yeah, alright, hit us with the update.
This guy called Gary Ross,
he works for the owner.
We drove here and we've got to Gary Ross' house.
We've just knocked on his door
and we had a pretty awful interaction with Gary.
We're just doing some investigating into the fire
that happened like six months ago or so.
We met your friend David down in Ullapool.
He sent us here and said that you knew what happened?
No, just went on fire.
He said he doesn't know David.
He doesn't know how the fire started.
What caused it, do you know?
Is it just like heat?
People for miles could see the fires.
Gary said he couldn't see it and he lives opposite.
Did you witness the fire too?
No, you didn't see it?
He's hiding something.
He sounds like a dirty liar.
He basically just told us to leave
and we shouldn't go speak to the owners.
Do you know the owners personally?
Do you know their names?
Is it all secretive and stuff?
I'm getting fishy vibes.
I reckon it was Gary, I think he did it for them.
He works for them, I reckon he lit it on fire
and they did it for a reason that they're not going to tell us.
Now we know we aren't going to get a confession from the mainland,
the samples are my last hope to uncover the truth,
which leaves me with only one choice.
Collect the final sample from the spot
where the biggest anthrax bomb was set off
to make sure I get the best results.
Alright, I'm making my way up to the bomb site.
We're not close enough to die, which is great,
but Matt and Dara are definitely in danger.
It already looks completely different here.
The grass is kind of patchy and dead.
Entering the most anthrax ridden spot in the entire world.
This is crazy.
I'm now standing in the exact spot
where they would have dropped the anthrax bomb.
I might be the only one who's stood here in about 100 years.
It might seem stupid I'm risking my life like this,
but I'm doing it for a good reason.
A year ago, I made a viral video about the island
that proved to 10 million people
just how easy it could be to get onto the island
and it was right after that video went viral
that the island was set on fire.
I think the government have seen this
and are scared about how many people know about the island now.
I think they're trying to cover it up
and someone needs to find the truth.
Alright, it's time I get this last sample.
Sample 10.
Final sample, that's it.
Okay, let's get the hell out of here.
With the final sample collected,
we still had 10 hours to survive
on this anthrax ridden island.
What have we got to do?
What's the next step?
Survive the night, wait for a pickup,
send off all the soil samples to a lab
and get them tested for anthrax.
And don't die.
Man, I am so tired.
It's probably just like that absolute oxygen deprivation
or we just inhaled a ton of anthrax.
Well, that was an interesting sleep.
We had survived the night,
now we needed to get off the island.
Only thing left really is tear all this stuff down
and wait for Josh to pick us up.
There was nowhere to be seen.
We had taken down our safe zone
and were standing outside in all the anthrax.
I was beginning to question
if coming to the island was too reckless.
But thinking about what we had learned so far,
it was clear someone needed to get answers
and it might as well be me.
We had gotten off the island
and had our 10 samples.
It was now time to send it to the lab.
Now, sending samples of anthrax to a lab
is not only extremely difficult
to do as a normal citizen,
but it's very expensive.
But eventually I did find a lab
that would take the soil
and all I had to do was post it.
They lit this island on fire, purposefully.
But the question is why?
And is it because their island
is still a threat to public safety
and is fully covered in anthrax?
So I'm going to find out.
It's going to take seven days
for the lab results to come back,
which is weirdly the same amount of time
it takes anthrax symptoms to show up.
Yeah, hopefully we're not infected
with anthrax right now.
Sorry Ellie.
The results have just come back from the lab.
I'm nervous. I'm scared.
This is the moment of truth.
Anthrax test report has come back.
I'm going to click directly into the PDF
and see what happens.
What the **** is happening?
Go into your room and close your door.
Anthrax island is anthrax free.
Yeah!
Bacillus anthracis not found
on the 10 soil samples
from various locations across the island.
That's so weird.
I can't believe it.
No anthrax.
It is done. They burnt it all away.
They burnt it all away.
At least now you know the truth.
The truth is they've covered up this deadly island,
but maybe there's another one out there
which is one of the most dangerous places
to ever be at a certain point in time.
We were lucky that we were there
when it seemed not to be infected
as much with anthrax,
but we also may not have gone deep enough
to be honest.
I bet you'll find anthrax on it somewhere.
How much have you been?
Oh, like everything.
You dig deep enough on there,
you'll find it.
Someone dig deep on there.
He owes everything.
I do not encourage anyone to go there.
This island is very different,
but it also has an incredibly dark history
like this one.
And they also say
it may be a little bit haunted.
In fact, it may be just
the most haunted island in the world.
Behind me is the most haunted island in the world
where over 150,000 people have died
of the Black Plague,
and it is completely illegal to step foot on.
So I guess I better not go there.
The police have banned anyone
from visiting this island
after countless unexplained injuries
This is not safe.
I got it, I got it, I got it.
I got it.
There's a boat coming.
Run, run, run, run.
Get down, get down, get down.
The police boat literally is coming straight for us.
We're going to be the first people
staying on this island in over 70 years,
and we're going to test
if it's as haunted as they say it is.
We're in Povlia, Italy,
an island in the middle of Venice,
home to an insane asylum
that conducted illegal experiments
on its patients.
And its most haunted area is the bell tower,
which we'll be investigating
later in this video.
So this is where we're going to set up our operation.
Basically our entire goal is to get to that bell tower
before light goes down.
That's where we're going to do our investigation.
Let me show you literally
all the ghost equipment that happens.
So I have got the craziest security camera system
I could possibly find that's night vision
and motion censored.
A spirit box.
What does it have to say to us?
Thermal gun.
If these ghosts or spirits produce any heat,
we will literally see it perfectly.
If ghosts exist, I'm going to find it.
Do you believe in ghosts?
The people that believe in ghosts,
we have to prove it right.
Come on, let's go.
And for the people that don't,
I am going to be as incredibly unbiased
as you possibly can be.
But I do not believe in ghosts.
So we entered the dense forest
to find the bell tower.
Oh, wow.
What is that?
This is for sanitation.
It was like a cooker to burn off diseases.
Next building.
This is creepy.
This entire building could collapse at any moment.
We need to be super, super careful with our steps.
Man, I thought I literally saw
someone looking at me there.
Shut up.
I swear to God.
This guy doesn't believe in ghosts.
Okay, we're going to continue going.
We're losing light real fast, man.
We found the church.
We can see the direction of the bell tower.
The light is fading very fast.
And eventually, we entered its grounds.
The air smells funny.
I'm not going in there.
I'm not going in either.
Yeah, no.
But we didn't have to,
as the entrance to the asylum
was right around the corner.
Entrance to the asylum.
It looks imposing and scary.
I'm not going to lie.
You ready to enter hell?
And we go.
I'm getting the sense that
just anything could be around the corner.
The guard is gone.
Every step I'm taking feels dangerous.
Oh, my God.
This hallway looks like
the most horror hallway I've ever seen.
I'm going to plant the camera here.
I swear to God, I'm feeling creeped out.
This place is freaky.
Oh, man.
So, guys, I have no way
of really explaining what happened next.
But for some reason,
it's all at the same time.
Everything's not working either.
We are now possibly cut off
from the outside world.
But I had an important mission for Matt.
Send the guy that believes in ghosts
off to check to see if there are ghosts on his own.
You'll be fine.
Looks creepy.
First camera.
Bro, this is creepy.
Well, thank God.
Yeah, it's me.
Man, the light is not working.
I mean, I swear to God,
it doesn't like us being here.
I did not like walking around.
You feel all right?
Other than seeing what I thought
was like a flashing light of people.
Spooky, man.
Well, it keeps happening.
All right, well, we're going
old-style YouTube right now.
So we have all the cameras set up
all over the asylum now.
Now it's time to venture
a bit deeper with the heat gun.
We're going to track down
the smallest thing we can find on this.
It's a bit of different heat signature.
There's like a trail of heat.
All right, let's follow this.
Wow, that is freaky as hell, man.
There is literally a bit of a
heat signature following along the wall.
Oh, man, where is it taking us?
There's definitely...
Wait, there's some heat up here
through the door.
That door is warmer than
everything outside.
Oh, yeah, there's heat in here
for some reason.
Do you know where this heat
comes from?
Oh, my God.
They say that the bell tower
is the most haunted part.
And weirdly, the heat gun
brought us right to it.
I don't know how to explain that.
I'm guessing that if there is
one place that is...
There we go again, that's haunted.
So I think this is where
we do our biggest test.
For any of you watching that
believe in paranormal stuff,
I'm not sure I believe it.
Do you believe in yourself
to be impossibly possessed
by a demon or something?
I got something to say.
I want to thank you guys
for everything that's been
happening with the channel recently.
I've never seen anything like
the last couple of videos.
Our views are insane.
We're getting more views
than KSI and Logan Paul.
All these massive YouTubers
somehow, thanks to you guys.
But I think we can go way further.
You can do whatever the hell
you want with your life.
With that said,
let's go talk to some ghosts.
So as much as I was laughing
and joking, we were about
to experience something
really, really weird.
Well, they're definitely Italian.
We couldn't understand Italian
so we realized we were going
to have to take it off
the island for translation.
Were these ghosts telling us
we were about to be murdered?
I don't know.
To be honest,
I'm just hearing great music.
I can't speak Italian
so now it's time for us
to just sleep I guess
and get this translated
in the morning.
Matt, you ready?
I am ready.
We're going to be the first
people to sleep on this
goddamn thing in over
70 years.
So I genuinely don't believe
in ghosts and it would
honestly take something
pretty crazy to change
my mind.
But as we got ready to sleep,
we had no idea
what our audio
had already captured.
I hope we don't die
in our sleep.
How are you feeling, Matt?
Congratulations, Matt.
You have survived a night
on the most haunted
island in the world.
Whatever ghosts were in there,
we're about to find out
if you're on security.
I need you to translate
something for me.
I don't want to see this
to be honest with you.
Incident?
Partire means leave,
travel.
I'm being serious.
Ok, incident now,
leave, travel.
This is real?
Scoppiata means exploded.
They're very alarming words.
Straight up, I won't even
fake that.
Something was there with
them and it was Italian
and they did not want
them to be there.
It was not happy.
Straight up, guys.
The words are alarming.
They're strong.
These words are alarming.
They're
words.
I went to the most
haunted island in the
world to basically
try to prove that
ghosts did not exist.
I did not believe them.
However,
since the night
on the island,
there are a lot of
things that happened
that are very
difficult for me
to explain.
So, number one,
as soon as we got off
the island, for some
reason I had red
scratches and blotches
all over my mouth.
Where did these come from?
I'm telling you,
I did not have this
before we left.
Number two,
our Italian friend
Manu was literally
stopped in the
airport and his
bag was searched
for explosives.
Piazza means
exploded.
I've never been
told that before a flight.
We don't have anything
attached to us,
I'm sure.
And finally, three,
I have searched through
that security camera
footage like crazy.
I've examined every
little inch of it
and what I found
was absolutely
nothing and I
refuse to believe
that I'm haunted
by a ghost,
but if I was,
it would tell you
You might be
wondering how we
find these deadly
islands that we
go to explore.
It's through
articles online.
And thanks to
today's sponsor,
Ground News,
we may have
found our next one.
The NASA radar
has found literally
a city under 100
feet of ice in
Greenland and it's
apparently holding
6.3 million gallons
of radioactive waste.
And there's over
100 publications
that have written
news about it.
If only there was
some unbiased news
source that I could
you know,
read.
You need to get on
Ground News.
So here's how Ground
News works.
It aggregates all
the publications it
can and allows you
to see it in a very
unbiased way.
66% of the publications
that wrote about this
score very high for
actually telling the
truth.
And it's not some
kind of mad
conspiracy theory.
Ground News
summarizes all the
publications by
clearly highlighting
all the facts of the
story and reporting
on both viewpoints
so that you can make
your own unbiased
opinion.
So for me what's so
cool about Ground
News is just being
able to very quickly
see what biases are
happening with a news
source.
And if it's fake news
or not.
That's basically it.
You said it.
So if you're like me
and you like to be
incredibly impartial
and hate when people
believe the very
first thing that they
read.
I don't believe
everything.
Then Ground
News is for you.
So you can go to
ground.news.com
or scan the QR code
to subscribe yourself
because Ground
News are giving 50%

That's cool.
I think it's a great
sponsor.
So thank you guys
for sponsoring the
video.
With that the next
island we visited
was a bit crazy.
And with that the
next island we're
visiting is the most
deadly yet.
Dead Man's Island.
This island is said
to be covered in
hundreds of human
skeletons that have
been infected with
the world's deadliest
bacteria.
The Black Plague.
Which has a 90%
chance of killing you
if you get infected.
But are these stories
true?
No one knows.
As the government
has banned access to
this mysterious and
deadly island that
I'm planning to sneak
onto.
Dead Man's Island
here we come boys!
My plan is to find
evidence of human
bones on the island
to prove that the
government are hiding
the bodies from us.
It's true I think
there's bones out there.
If you go over to
there you can see
bones in there.
There are lots and
lots of bodies out there.
Let's see if these
rumours are true.
Dead Man's Island
is basically this weird
little outcropping of
marshland somewhere in
this direction.
Are we going to be
able to see anything?
Be peeling your eyes
right now.
You can see it?
Alright.
That's it.
That's Dead Man's
Island.
Definitely can't see
any bones from there.
Is that something?
Where?
This little white thing.
What is that?
We struggled to
identify what was on
the island.
And so we needed to
get a lot closer.
And so I asked this
guy.
Have you been out there?
No.
No one goes out there.
You can't.
How come?
It's not allowed.
It's illegal.
They asked countless
people to take me.
But they all said no.
You're not allowed
to go onto this island?
No.
Until...
The only way you're
getting out of there
is swimming.
I was pointed in the
direction of some
shady people.
But even they were
hesitant.
Take that mate.
That's why you're
going to go out there
and come up with a
black death mate.
But after some
negotiating...
This one.
50 pen a piece
for a total of
that.
50 pen a piece
for a total of
that.
Grab the cash.
I think we've found
a way to possibly
get onto the island.
This is Jay.
And he's going to
take me for a ride.
Straight off the bat,
Jay starts thundering
it out towards
Dead Man's Island.
I wasn't sure
which island was which.
But Dead Man's
was almost in my grasp.
As I mentioned,
not only is Dead Man's
completely forbidden
to step onto,
but it is notoriously
hard to get to.
So me and Jay
weaved through more
surrounding islands
which you can't
land on either.
And so we continued.
There it was.
As we approached,
I thought,
damn.
It was easy getting
to this infected
plague island.
But as you can
probably guess,
this is where things
go wrong.
Because Jay
had other plans.
That's right.
Jay just kind of
does a U-turn
away from Dead Man's
Island.
And what I should have
realised right there
is he never had
any intention
of bringing me
to the island.
So will we be able
to take like a
kind of a close look
at it?
I don't know.
Instead,
he wanted to
teach me a lesson.
This man
starts driving
wildly.
And just as I
slowly realise
that I've been
scammed
and I'm on the
back of a jet ski
with a maniac,
Jay decides
he doesn't need me
on it.
That's right.
This scumbag has just
thrown me into the water
with all my equipment
in my pockets.
I am seething
in anger
right now, guys.
He hasn't taken me
to see the island
and he's taking
my money.
This smile on my face
is hiding the anger
I feel right now.
This is not good, guys.
Scammed
and I've broken
a $350
microphone.
Seems like even
a scumbag like Jay
was afraid
to go to
Dead Man's Island.
And so honestly,
I wasn't sure
what to do.
I'm just trying to
process what happened.
I should not have
trusted this guy.
If there's one thing
I've learned from this
situation,
it's that getting
onto the island
the illegal way
was the wrong
thing to do.
But if the government
truly are hiding
the bodies of
plague victims
on this island,
then we can't
give up.
When I die,
I would not like
to be forgotten
about like that.
We need to find
another way to get
onto Dead Man's Island.
How are we getting
on there, man?
We need to find
someone that would
completely disagree
with my methods so far.
We need to find
someone who could
do this legally.
I might know a guy.
I might know two guys.
Hi.
Yo, yo.
Yo, yo, Chris.
This is Simon and Chris,
both treasure hunting
YouTubers and if anyone
knew how to do this
stuff legally,
it would be them.
I wouldn't advise
anyone going there
because it's
extremely dangerous
and people say
you can't visit there.
You can't,
but there's ways
around it.
Good to see you, Chris.
Good to see you.
Simon knows a loophole
on how to get us
on the island.
The best way
by far is
popcorn.
You might want to wear
these to stop the noise
because you can get
quite thefty.
Dead Man's Island,
here we come!
Definitely you're not
allowed to visit the island.
The mud is an
intertidal
navigation zone
and if you happen
to jump out
whilst you're on the mud,
then why not?
Dead Man's Island
is surrounded by
tons of quicksand
and when the tide is out
a lot of this is exposed.
Now, I know this
sounds really dangerous
but the quicksand
is technically
legal to explore.
That means
as we arrive on
this infected island
we can't stop moving
otherwise
we may never
get off the island.
That went really deep!
And with that
I took my first
step onto the island.
Oh man!
It's really an
adventure now.
Before we start
digging around
and looking around
shall we suit up?
Because if there really
are Black Plague victims
on this island
as people say
the deadly bacteria
can survive within
their bones
for hundreds of years.
I do not want to be
responsible for
another global pandemic.
Well, I can't believe
we're actually on here now.
And now
we potentially might
find some dead bodies.
So now we're going to
begin the search
and just see what we can find.
We're at the perfect time
low tide.
Woah!
Where's the bone?
Oh my god, yeah.
That's a bone.
Is that?
I don't know.
Lads!
I did find another bone!
Yeah, it's a small one
like I don't know if that's a
could be a
like a hand bone?
We did find fragments of bone
but we couldn't confirm
they were human
so our search continued.
Everyone is searching the ground
looking for stuff.
We're seeing tons
of hundreds of years old
bottles
of like medicine
beer bottles
and like clay pipes.
It's a medicine bottle
so you'd have
been given that
when you
cough cures
lung cures
Black Plague.
If we were finding
all these items
belonging to people
from the same time period
it was now becoming
more clear.
We may find the people
that these items
belonged to.
That is a very
very old shoe.
Look at that
completely worn.
The bottom of an old shoe.
That can be there
well over 100 years.
After a few more hours
trudging through
the treacherous
quicksand
Look at that.
Oh god.
This is where
everything changed.
We might have been
looking in the wrong spot.
The only problem is
it's pretty damn
treacherous to get to.
Wow.
And finally
we entered
the Black Plague Zone.
Instantly
we found something.
That is human.
Oh wow.
Grab that.
Oh man.
Yeah, I'd say that's human.
That is a fibula
I'm pretty sure of it.
So there you go Dara
there's your first find.
Oh wow
I'm holding a human bone
right now.
So yeah that would be
in the arm.
That looks absolutely
about right.
This did seem to be
human alright
but if this was a
Black Plague dumping zone
then we should be
finding a lot more.
We don't want to go
too near those.
I'm not
going to itch my face
with that I tell you.
But after that
is that another one?
A human foot here.
Hold on a second.
It's a rib bone.
Yeah.
That's pretty human.
Rib bone.
Wow.
Leg bones
arm bones
all over the place.
Oh my god
look right in front of me
as well.
Oh my god.
That's a whole person's leg.
I was not
expecting that.
I can't believe
what I was seeing
with my own eyes.
We've seen the bones
of feet
legs
ribs
arms
hands
and there was only
one thing left to find
in order to prove
clearly to the world
that human bodies
were left on this island.
This person's
entire skeleton
can't be that far
if somehow
they survived together
you know.
Oh my
there's teeth.
I was sort of
hoping to find this
but seeing it now
actually turns my
stomach a little bit.
This is a little piece
of a human skull
right now.
Teeth intact.
Oh man
that makes me feel weird
just looking at a
human skull.
Wow
that's really insane
to look at.
That's very clearly
a human
a part of a human's face
or certainly was
a long long time ago.
It's so crazy
to think that
the black plague
could still
be on these bones
the way it can survive
and potentially
looking at
something that's still
carrying the black plague.
We expect when we die
that our remains
will be dealt
with care
and respect
and these victims
were denied that.
It's a lesson man.
We're all just a
bunch of bones and flesh.
Yeah as long as you
end up like this
nobody will like it.
There's no memory.
Everybody that we know
is going to forget
about us as well.
It does make me
just want to go like
alright you know what
we do only have
one shot at this
gotta make it count.
It turns out
the stories were true.
Victims of the plague
and other diseases
were left here
on this island
to rot for centuries
and that's not a fate
I would want anyone
to endure
and it was with
those thoughts
I made up my mind.
And so Jay
I forgive you man.
You gave me an experience
I will never forget
and honestly
I'm just going to cherish
you for the rest of my life.
You're still a scumbag
but no hard feelings.
Except we missed
something massive
on the island.
Later on after that video
I actually found out
there's a location
on it called Coffin Bay
that we completely missed
in our search
and essentially
this one spot
on the island
you can actually see
the coffins of the
black plague victims
as they're being eroded
by the sea.
And so after finding out
about that
Simon and Chris
who are literally
history aficionados
were like
we need to go back.
So we're going back
to Deadman's
yay great
I feel fantastic about it
and Dara
cuts his hand open.
I stabbed myself
in the hand
really badly
so that the only time
that we were all
free to go again
low tide would only
reveal Coffin Bay
in the middle of the night.
And so to find
Coffin Bay
we have to stay
overnight
on Deadman's Island.
This is the world's
most infected island.
It's an island
covered in thousands
of human bones
still left here
from the black plague.
There's a rib bone
that's the bottom
of someone's spine.
There's literally
bones everywhere.
And I'm going to
spend the night here.
Oh god
almost right in.
The entire island
is literally
surrounded by quicksand.
Within this quicksand
is where you'll find
a lot of the bones.
We found a bone.
What's this?
It's a bone.
It's kind of large.
Like there's
one right there
isn't there?
That is a human
rib bone right there.
But we weren't
just looking for bones.
We were looking
for clues to a
mysterious location
called Coffin Bay.
So I've snuck onto
this band island
once before
but what I didn't know
last time
is that there's an area
that is the most
infected part
that has the most
bones called
Coffin Bay.
And it's rumoured
to be full of treasure.
There feasibly could
be treasure.
Pipes.
Bottles.
How much are
those bottles worth?
Thousands.
Wow.
Treasure.
We could be the
first people
to actually
record it.
We've got to find
Coffin Bay.
We've got to find
this treasure.
Without dying.
First people to
sleep on dead mans.
So we set off
to find Coffin Bay
and quickly we
already found
evidence of
historical artefacts.
Look at this.
At least a
hundred year old
wine bottle.
That's crazy man.
And clues to
Coffin Bay's location.
These would have
been bolted down
and you'd have
tied your rope on it.
That's like straight
off a ship.
That's exactly
what it looks like.
Oh.
There's another
piece of wood.
How are we going
to know if that
is from a coffin?
You can tell
larger pieces,
they were cut
in a certain
formation.
Can you imagine
that as the
top of the coffin?
Fits the profile
of a shape
doesn't it?
A person.
Already we're
finding clues.
But to find
Coffin Bay is
incredibly difficult
because most of
this island is
underwater.
And it's only
at midnight
that Coffin Bay
will emerge.
If we find it,
it should be on
the map.
And it's not.
It's not on the map.
And so,
I got my friends
on the mainland
to help us scout
out the island
from above.
Hey Jack,
Trax,
we need you guys
to scout ahead
on the drone
to see if you
can locate
Coffin Bay.
Understood.
Dude,
it's freaking
huge.
Oh my gosh,
it's massive.
What the hell,
it's actually
scary.
I'm so glad
we're not on there.
Okay, so yeah,
so if they head up
north,
they get to
this bit here.
This bit looks
like it would
have a lot of bones.
Since Coffin Bay
is still underwater,
Jack and Trax
guide us to
its most likely
location.
However,
we're gonna have
to kayak there.
We don't have
much time
to find this place.
No,
I'm getting a
head torch
just in case
because I don't
want to be
kayaking back
in complete pitch black.
That would be
dangerous and scary.
You're worried
that bursts?
Yeah,
that's gonna suck.
It's gonna suck
and you're gonna die.
Okay,
well,
we gotta get this
out real fast.
Let's go now.
The place is
looking eerie right now.
The tide is still
so high.
I can feel
nighttime coming
and I'm not
exactly looking
forward to it.
I'm a bit worried
to see what it's
gonna be like
and what the
feeling is
gonna be like.
You can just tell
it's gonna be
really dark tonight.
The window to
search Coffin Bay
is so small
that we need
the exact location
and so the boys
tried to get more
information on it
from the locals
and everyone
pointed them to
one guy who
knew exactly
where it was.
Have you seen Lee?
He's got the boat
over there.
The old pirate ship.
Oh yeah?
Yeah,
he's over there
and we can't
reach it.
No,
he can tell you
everything about
the island.
You've missed
that opportunity.
Get hold of him
and let your
dreams come true.
Apparently he has
all the answers
but he's also
all the way
over there.
How's that
shoulder holding up
lad?
My shoulder's
falling apart
right now.
We could be
literally right on
top of it.
We've no idea.
But eventually
we reached the spot
that was very
likely to be
Coffin Bay.
The place is
completely transforming
with the tide.
Now all the things
are starting to be
exposed.
Coffin Bay
could be around
the corner.
We've got another
bottle there,
another piece of
wood.
This new area
basically looked
like the rest of
the island
but it came
with a danger
we were not
ready for.
Yeah,
keep moving.
It was covered
in a quicksand
much more dangerous
than we had
ever experienced.
You should be
moving your feet
back and then
push.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my God.
We've made it
to the pirate ship.
Right,
we're at sea.
It's that guy
over there,
right?
Oh that's him.
He's right ahead
of us.
Yeah,
he's right ahead
of us.
Hello!
We're hoping
he's just going
to let us
on board.
He has no idea
that we're
going to find him.
We're like
literally stuck
in the mud now.
This is,
this is as exposed
as this place
is going to be.
There's no coffins here,
there's definitely
not a coffin bay.
Let's head back
there into some land
and let's give
the lads a call.
Hello!
Right,
we've made it,
called in,
time to get
on the boat.
Hi,
sorry,
do we go this way?
Everyone recommended
that we should
speak to this
guy for the knowledge.
Yeah,
I think so,
is that okay?
No problem.
Yeah.
So you got onto
a pirate ship?
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
The boys!
Did you find out
about Coffin Bay
though?
Coffin Bay is on
the back of the island
but if you go there
you need to be
very careful.
Apparently,
there is hundreds
of coffins and
they're all like
stacked up on
top of each other.
Sometimes you
fall from the
coffins.
Yeah,
really?
Yeah,
you don't want to
get,
because it was
black death,
so you don't want
to be putting
your foot through
a coffin,
do you?
What do you mean
the back of the
island?
This island is
huge and so
many sides.
I think he
was like the
south end of
the island.
The south,
we're on the
north.
Are we on
the wrong side
of the island?
North is that
way,
yeah,
east is,
I thought
north is that
way,
north is that
way.
We don't even
know what side
we're on,
let alone where
the hell the
coffins are.
So wait,
you're saying
the south?
I'm pretty
confident.
lads,
you don't
sound confident
anymore.
I thought you
knew the exact
location.
Did you guys
pinpoint it
on a map?
Did you show
them a map?
Why didn't
you show them
a map?
We've got about
like how many
hours before it's
like completely
dark?
Hours,
we've got about
10 minutes.
We've got about
10 minutes?
We need to
find it in 10
minutes,
how are we
going to do
this?
You've got
to find it,
you've got
this,
it's on the
back of the
island.
Thank you
for that
massive
generalised
idea of
where it
could be,
but we'll
find it.
Right,
come on.
What do you
mean right,
come on,
we're screwed
now.
We need to
head that
way and try
and find
Carpent Bay.
Si,
who knows
more about
this stuff
than anybody,
has just
said that's
dangerous.
Alright,
we need to
move fast
then,
or at least
I do.
If I'm going
alone,
I'm going
alone.
I need to
find Carpent
Bay.
We've got to
go somewhere.
You made me
come back to
this place again
for nothing.
No,
Carpent Bay
exists and
there's treasure
in it.
I've got to
find Carpent
Bay,
I'm not
leaving this
island until
we've found
it.
Even if you
knew exactly
where it is,
I don't think it
would be a good
idea to try and
leave the
trek.
Everyone was
warning me
against going
to Carpent
Bay by
myself.
What do
you think Chris,
there's hope
isn't there?
No,
man.
I admire
your tenacity
my friend.
But unlike
them,
it's not
looking likely
right now
that we're
going to find
this place
is that I'm
no loser.
Well,
not with that
attitude.
This is the
only window I'm
going to get
to be able to
see this place.
I got to
at least try.
Doing this
trek by myself
is something
you should
never do.
One wrong
step and I
could be
drowning in
quicksand
with no
one to
help.
Whoa,
whoa,
my foot's like
deep.
My foot is
deep.
Oh no.
I just
found a
solid piece of
ground.
I'm stuck in
quicksand
up to my
knees.
I have no
idea if
doing work
there this
far now.
Well,
these are the
lengths I will
go to for
you guys.
Oh my
God.
Wow,
I nearly
died.
You guys have
been blowing up
the channel
recently.
The views are
insane.
We just hit
500,000
subscribers.
I will do
whatever it
takes to
entertain you
guys.
If you
haven't
already,
you guys
need to
subscribe now
because we
are going to
do the
videos that
literally no
YouTuber has
dared to do.
500,000.
Thank you.
We've got some
crazy things
cooking.
You do not
want to miss
them.
We're about to
bring YouTube
to a whole new
level.
I promise you
that.
Now,
let's see if I
can find this
coffin bay
place,
if it
exists.
That is
unusual
looking.
That is
very unusual
looking.
Another
piece of
wood.
There's
nails in
this one.
There's
definitely a
high concentration
of all these
different wood
pieces.
It's either
come from a
shipwreck or
these are bits
of coffin.
Dara,
are you
receiving over?
If I find
any evidence of
coffin bay,
I'll be
letting you
know.
Crack on,
mate.
Just check
me in.
Those guys
are really
nice.
They did
not want me
doing this.
And that
was when
I found
something.
Oh,
hell no.
Okay.
There's a
bone.
Yep,
there you
have it.
There's the
bottom of
a human's
rib bone.
I mean,
that could
definitely be
a sign.
More bones
were beginning
to emerge,
but so too
were artifacts
I had never
expected to
find.
Whoa,
look at
that.
Seriously,
old wine
bottle.
Oh my
God.
Do you
see that
shimmer?
That's
corks.
And
eventually,
the bones
and artifacts
led me
to...
Oh,
whoa,
whoa.
Oh my
God,
oh my
God,
oh my
God,
okay.
I've
stepped into
it.
We're
looking at
a massive
mound of
coffins.
This could
be one,
that could
be one,
that certainly
is one.
Oh my
God.
It's
stacked up
right up to
here.
And then right
next to the
coffin,
rib bone.
There's literally
bones everywhere.
Oh my
God,
there's a rib
bone,
a leg bone,
an arm bone.
God,
okay,
I feel
freaked out that
I've come by
myself.
I just
can't believe
that there's
just so much
right here.
Seeing that
stuff is,
is very
freaky.
You just
totally dissociate
from it being
a person.
But it's a
person that
lived a long
time ago and
they just end
up on this
island and no
one does
anything about
it.
It's quite sad.
Coffin Bay is
the type of
place most
people want to
pretend doesn't
exist.
But it's real
and it has
given us a
chance to
literally peek
into our own
history.
And that's a
real thing.
it was,
it was a rough
ride.
And I like to
think of it as a
reminder of
literally how
lucky we are
to be alive
today.
And the
treasure,
yes,
I did find
treasure.
That's like
Victorian,
that's probably
one of the
best bottles
we've had.
400 years
old?
Yeah.
Oh,
damn.
It's just the
physical proof
that our time
is limited.
Thank you guys
for half a million
subscribers.
I love you all.
See you in the
next video.
And that's the
story so far.
However,
there is one
island that we
haven't shown yet
that is by far
the most dangerous
of all of these.
And I'd argue
the most deadly.
Yeah,
most dangerous
and deadly.
I nearly
died.
We're laughing
about it but
it's not actually
funny.
It sounds weird
to say but
I nearly died.
That's not a joke.
It was
the scariest,
most dangerous
thing we've ever
done and
after this video
we may have to
stop doing
incredibly dangerous
islands.
We're still getting
ready to show
that video to the
world.
It's going to be
a mega,
mega video.
And that video
will be next
on this channel.
So,
you're going to
want to hit
that subscribe
button.
Should we give
him a hand?
Yes.
Snake Island.
Just remember
that this is
a very deadly
animal.
Oh my God.
Stay there,
stay there,
stay there.
Boys,
can you please
hurry up?
That was way
too close
for my liking.
Get out of there
Diaz,
get out of there,
get out of there.
We have
a tradition
to hunt
the head.
Head of what?
Head hunter
of human.
Are we going
in that direction?
Yes.
Oh God.
