Two and a half billion views, and a 47-year ghost ship

The week brought two new stories, one about a ghost ship nobody believed and one about a man who killed 30 people and was later pardoned by a president.

He killed 30 people but got a presidential pardon

Ali Koca's channel has now passed 2.5 billion lifetime views, built on the kind of story that sounds too strange to be true until he explains it.

Two new uploads went up. The first, "The 47 Year Ghost Ship Story That NOBODY Believed," had a quiet start. Three days later came "He killed 30 people but got a presidential pardon," which is the video with the most pull on the channel right now. Behind it, two older pieces keep drawing a small, steady audience: a warning about trusting what you see online, and the story of a man who made a fortune from a hallucination.

Overall the channel ran slower than its usual pace. That was common in this corner of story and mystery channels. Doctor NOS, Punkey Doodles and Dr Bob were all below their normal levels. Shane2 was the exception, with a much busier week than usual.
