Knotts Berry Farm - Dark History!

hey you all carpetbagger here along with Adam the whoo front of Knox berry farm ghost town Knox berry farm is apparently not a Berry Farm or is it a bit big but you know what time it was that land we're standing on Walter Cordelia long time ago is one of the oldest maybe even the oldest theme park in California nice don't hold me to that but it has been around for a long time so fortunately they have plowed the berry farm and replaced it while Disney used to come here and got ideas for Disneyland this is like the free Disneyland grandfather of Disneyland awesome but no berries so let's check it out follow me the theme park needs a hangman's tree check out that noose up there normally theme parks when you do a shooting attraction that's using a rifle which they have yeah they also have pistols that's a real cool I've never noticed in the FSOC etc there's some sort of lag protruding from that window all right over here at the jail believe there is a well-known character see you awake you awake Santa why are you so sad this is building close to the ground what would you rather would you rather have freedom or beasts well the thing is if you break me out I'd have to have someplace to live so if I could move in with you I'd break out because I know you got the booze yes it's a valid point I don't have the room though well then we're in a rock and a hard place and my landlord told me I wasn't allowed to sub leap sublease well you wouldn't meal in there fair enough all right I'll give you my address off camera and come over later all right all right sounds good sounds good thing is she doesn't know how to get out of there so I'm just got free is there anyone that's gonna talk to me in the outhouse that house is empty there's the Undertaker's house oh wow that is horrifying there's a dead man oh my god check that out a replica of the bird cage theatre from Tombstone Arizona v1 Arizona was a was a famous brothel I I don't think this one is no baby Rattlers are terrifying oh my gosh I'm actually here the dead man's heartbeat horrify the classic theme park comedy gravesite because nothing's funner than funny are gonna gravesite right now this this this blows my mind at every like theme park comedy cemetery you see the grave of Lester Moore for slugs from a 44 no less no more Lester Moore was a real person and that is his real inscription on a grave in the Boot Hill Cemetery in Tombstone Arizona and and it's replicate I always thought it was just a dumb joke but is it real man and his real gravestone [Music] apparently in the late 1880s in cigarette packs they would put little pictures of sexy ladies kale right here that's your girlfriend yep miss kale yeah Santa Joe was a mass murderer exactly did he did he talk to people well they tried to get to him but nobody would talk to because he think anyone who talked to this murder no one wants to talk to a serial killer tired him put him in permanent storage and they made a duplicate that suits over in the jail now and they made him and they met horse thief well do you borrowed the sheriff's horse I just forgot to get permission right so the store backstory is if you are a mass murderer you will be decapitated and will end up in a case there's the original the original serial killer said I Joe yeah a good derringer looking on yeah it is lethal it's lethal yes you just like inject a bullet in the flow most hippies would come in to the park and it stay the night and Walter not did not have the problem with that so because come daylight there just disappear take care of a bit of trash just vanish don't know you didn't know where you went you didn't care so you know who isn't Joe Park in the open they're gone they didn't gentleman the park is now closed no everybody least hippies come back he just given the drugs now that was okay for a long time until late in 68 when mr. Knotts executive Secretariat had to work late man she was walking to her car a couple of the hippies raped and robbed her so mister not started carrying that and the next day he had a big fence put around the park no more hippies because two of them ruined it for everyone and ever since then you know they go well Walter you got the prints up to my so charge admission that's when knots became a part notes multi knots drink and leave it open picnic style if you want to rather write buy a ticket but now it's enclosed and you have to buy your way into the park all because of the notice and that's the story of how admission tickets created consumerism for not very far you got it ironic yeah the Disneyland wants the one who would not believe Southern California higher because if they can get their claws into just admit knots they would own all of Anaheim Hall not going to just everything here I don't I don't want to be I don't want to come visible and employees every good Western museum has to have a barbed wire collection up here in the Calico saloon drinking sarsaparilla I wouldn't sarsaparilla I don't even know sarsaparilla is like basically kind of like our root beer but not quite I learned that carousels progress oh yeah oh yeah think about some was that we're drinking oh that's right we're drinking root beer now [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] keep a lookout though hanging out [Music] once trace mark and we'll all get blasted to kingdom come [Music] Oh jeez [Music] Oh [Music] [Music] hey Snoopy what's up are you the Schroder over there okay how's it going okay hey guys oh sorry means I'm gonna bop you there thank you was very very nice meeting you guys designer thank you appreciate it [Music] that one's locked crammed into a little sombrero he's spinning around like the teacups at Disneyland except this the Knott's Berry Farm like this rare odor like the teacups but spicier to spin this spin there look at this put this little cushion so you don't crack your head on that no a spinach snifter this is the famous not chicken dinner restaurant that's a big chicken all right so this is boysenberry jam I'm not sure what a boysenberry even is what is boysenberry it's a berry I'm up a white check this it up these are little balls of butter I love butter balls I'm really good it's almost like a great be blackberry all right got a big plate of fried chicken this is actually the world's largest chicken restaurant but no the exact specifications but apparently that is a thing what the heck it's a catawampus so an extinct species okay sounds like a wood-carved Tiki head with moss for air and horns makes sense yeah all right so appreciate you guys joining me on my trips here to Knott's Berry Farm pretty cool Newton Park and love the old ghost I'm one of the last true Wild West ghost towns in the country if you guys like these videos please check down below in the description I have an interactive map that shows all places that Bend and you make suggestions on places that I need to go it's like donate these three dollars on patreon I will send you a postcard every month from my road trips there's other ways to support as well and that stuff's in the description but for now this one's in the bag [Music]
