I’m just feeling guilty for thinking badly about him right away. I’m not saying it’s normal to skewer raccoons and take pictures of them. People would perceive me as a hateful bitch with a potential for murder too. What would we do if we felt we were isolated from the world and is free (relatively) to act however we want? I love animals so I wouldn’t hurt or dissect them, but I may make art that is disturbing toward humans, especially if I harbor a distrust toward society. Then again, was he really not right in the mind? We draw such conclusions so fast. After decades of exclusion and extreme loneliness, Can we blame him for becoming weird? Being already self-conscious, getting ostracized can easily push them into reclusion, not by choice but by perceived exclusion. Socially awkward people often get ostracized either openly or subconsciously. But, can we really blame him if he wasn’t right in the mind?Īs a society, we can be pretty ruthless. Humans are conditioned to protect themselves. Maybe it’s a survival thing to automatically think “red flag” when we come across behaviors like Gordon’s. And I hope I’m not infringing on any rights by sharing it on my blog. Isn’t the comment beautiful? I’m so glad I read it. Peace out, you guys (and I still think the BSF channel is brilliant :-) Brilliant comment by Laurie Ann left on Bright Sun Films’ video: Lost In Time – Terrifying ABANDONED Home If you read all of that ‘YouTube Dissertation’, I thank you. A lot of these folks quietly build a fantasy world for themselves because they simply never found their place in the real one, you know? Nothing to be afraid of. I just hope people might really take a critical look before deciding for sure someone was bad or deviant. I completely understand why these finds are exciting, and why it can be a mysterious adventure. I’ve seen too many folks harmed by rumor & neighborhood gossip just because they were eccentric, different, or suffering mental illnesses which manifested in peculiar but ultimately harmless behaviors. I’ve just done a lot of work with the elderly, many of them all alone in poor living conditions, so it’s a topic close to my heart, that’s all. I’m sorry if that came off as lecturing, I genuinely don’t mean to sound too harsh. If you just research the behaviors/lifestyles of severely socially isolated folks, then watch this video again, I think you might find it much less terrifying. Of course I can’t say for sure if Gordon was a dangerous man or not, but I honestly don’t see a lot of evidence for it here. Wealthy hunters have the same types of photos, only they’re ‘tastefully shot’ and all that. It might be heartbreaking & sad, but not a true threat to anyone. That’s what we did in olden times, it was very common □ It’s so much more common than you might think (and as an aside, my older bro took umpteen million pictures of Connie Selleca off the TV in the early 80s because there were no posters of her. TV personalities become friends in their minds, but it’s so rare for it to escalate beyond that. A lot of isolated people do these sorts of things (to this very day) as a passive & secure way to interact without risking too much emotionally. Nothing you showed suggested sexual violence toward women, and those letters appeared to be one-offs. This all strikes me as the remnants of a man who was stuck on the outside looking in, who spent his time comforting himself with fantasies of social interaction & sure, even girlfriends. Does that sound like the words of a psycho, or does it sound more like the words of a very lonely man who probably didn’t socially progress much further than high school? Notice the paper with the birthdays, this man wrote “Girls I got a crush on”. More than anything else, I’m seeing a case of extreme social isolation here. This was definitely a fascinating exploration, but I guess I just feel sad seeing the majority of people jumping directly to the most negative conclusion. And this lady by the name of Laurie Ann completely put me to shame. But among these comments, I see people sympathizing with him too. “Loneliness”, “serial killer”, “disturbing”, “obsessed”, and “crazy” etc. I thought, “oh man, he must be lonely, but there’s also something wrong with this guy.”Īs with every video I watch, I scrolled down the comments to see what opinion others have.
