  • I went on a tour of sony pictures and was in the room where they filmed that. The woman who was showing us around was a friend of the family and said it was a set worker on the film who hung himself just to get his 15 minutes of fame and supposedly still haunts the studio.

  • if you remember, there were a lot of exotic birds in that forest, a toucan is in a branch near dorothy at one point.

  • I had a little research this is what I found: From google: A muchkin didnt make the movie so he killed himsfelf. Wiki: It is a crane/bird. SO either way. It dosent matter.

  • poor lil dude couldent take being a shortie anymore lol jk nah dude BULLSHIT no dead elf dwarf wut ever the hell munchie -

  • Haha saw a special on this, now I can't NOT see the bird XD

  • Omfg u can tell its a bird

  • You're all dumb. It's a fucking bird.

  • @89klk Why would there be a cran in the woods?Why only one?They edited it,notice how the bird fades back into the woods.It is supposed to cover the hanging body,It was supposed to be a joke but the guy fucked his not up and he accidently killed him self.

  • @ImmaManRay Um.....no. If you REALLY paid attention to the movie, you'll see the bird earlier in the scene. He's standing next to the house. As for digitally editing it in? It's in every print of the film since 1939. I have the original home video release and it's there.

  • @bigdaddyrico85 Ok,I give up.That's your opinion,but I have a different one.Watch the original one,if you want,make a video,but I still believe that a munchkin was hung.Oh,well Im not going to argue with you,so thats really it.I don't have the movie at home,so therefore I cant pay REALLY good attention to it when it's never on t.v.But,If that's how you feel I'm not going to waste time fighting with you about it.

  • @ImmaManRay Ok. Calm down. i can see that you've been attacked about this before. I wasn't attacking. Just pointing out. I believed the story too. Til I watched my dvd copy on my HD-DVD player on an HD tv. Found out it was the bird and was very disappointed. It's trifle to argue about this. If you want to believe it, go ahead. I know people who still believes the 3 Men and a Baby ghost when it's actually a cut out of Ted Dansen. The hanging Munchkin does make a good story though

  • @bigdaddyrico85

    i could agree with that.It does make a good story though,I believe 3 men and a baby also,but We'll really never know about these "myths".It's hard to believe its a bird when it fades back in the woods,though.

  • @ImmaManRay I know. I had to zoom into it to make sure but it is. At that particular moment, the bird opens up it's wings. That's what we're seeing. I love a ghost myth as much as the next guy.

  • @bigdaddyrico85 True,they give people the spooks,and there pretty creepy.

  • IIts a bird nothing more

    

  • it is indeed...  a bird.

  • Guys, there are a lot of different rumors about what it was:

    1. A munchkin that got rejected by someone he loved.

    2. An actor or actress that got fired.

    3. Someone who didn't get the part.

    5. One of the producer's son who couldn't be in it.

    6. A producer that hanged himself because the movie was way over budget.

    9. It was an accident, it was a one of the crew members that fell a stage prop and wires were around him and choked to death.

    If there were that many rumors, it's obviously not real.

  • I must admit the truth.....years ago I and a Midget faked his death on the set of wizard of oz. The mob wanted him dead, so we faked his death in what we thought was the woods.

  • I don't think it was a bird ..some where in my house, I have the ORIGINAL VCR tape, when I find it, I'm watching it.

  • @ScrotumsLAWL I have the original vhs version, it has the bird, the one with the hanging was an edited hoax, I know this because part of the bird appears from nowhere, watch 'clear proof the hanging munchkin video is fake'

  • this is gayer then twi munchkins fucking.. male munchkins

  • its a bird . . and if your think hmm why did they use a bird on the set, it was cuz they made it look like a real forrest or something :S

  • -_-

  • OK...what were we supposed to be seeing? cuz all i saw were fake trees..

  • @fullautoshotty look at there heads just a bit up to the left it's like a faded black shape.

  • you owe me a 9 second blowjob to make up for that

  • This sounds believable actually, I mean, the things that have happened to the actresses in old disney age, make this believable. Like the girl who played the orphan in all dogs go to heaven? Her father shot her.

  • oh come on guys, the scarecrow obviously just hit part of the set. hanging munchkin my ass, that's just a faulty set right there.

  • Must have been a bad movie?!

  • Fact: Disney re-edits his videos.. So your arguments telling me to buy the Blu-ray version to watch it, are futile.

  • watch?v=rQECeV5nwzA

  • it's a fucking crane bird! It's spreading its wing, wtfffff? Get the high def Blu Ray edition of this movie and pause at at the exact moment after Scarecrow lowers his arm after his retard dance, it's CLEARLY, bright as day, a bird.

  • if you were smart and not trying to sell a lie you would notice that its a mechanical deer that puts its head down like its feeding. also notice the one next to it that looks exactly like it. i heard about this so i watched intensely and realized thats all it is. nothing more than a 1937 attempt at mechanical animation.

  • @cplpun1 lol your fucking retarded! a mechanical deer? dude it looks more like a damn crane stretching its wings!

  • @Bgimmy360 when i saw it last i didnt have an hd t.v now that i have one i see that it is a crane but not a mechanical one. if you look in the scene before it youll see a live crane walking around. btw dont call me a fucking retard. ill kick your scrawny ass punk. i live in lancaster pa. if you have a problem.

  • Who cares if some Urban Legends are fake.

    I find them interesting.

    Like this channel here:

    |youtube.com/RealLifeMysteries­|

  • i just did my research and its true. the guy really did hang himself

  • @RideRedRacer NAME YOUR SOURCES THEN!!!

  • @RideRedRacer its false...

  • the crane was a digital add in to cover up hte swinging munchkin body at the moment the body swings into the shot the crane extends it's wing. Think about it what the hell does a crane have to do with the woods? Why is it so big? Why is there only one? Look at the curve of the crane and how it fades back into the trees and seems to disappear. It only serves one purpose and it does the job they needed it to.

  • @andrelamarqjenkins Um, except that there are several large cranes roaming about in the background throughout that whole forest scene. But they probably added those too... In the 30s, when no such technology existed....

  • @starrkitty1 it's sad that people think that special effects can only be added digitally now. There's an old technique called split screen where you overlaid one screen upon another. It's how they did King Kong and a bunch of old black and white monster movies. Still, I don't believe the rumor.

  • @andrelamarqjenkins Wrong! The bird version was the real one, the hanging vidoe is an edited hoax. I know this because part of the bird appears from nowhere in th hanging video, if you dont believe me watch 'clear proof the hanging munchkin video is fake'

  • @andrelamarqjenkins why is a there a talking scarecrow and tin man? why are there witches and flying monkeys? why is there an entire city made out of emerald? no offense, i'm not saying you're right or wrong, i'm just pointing out a flaw in your reasoning

  • ITS A FREAKING BIRD! D<

  • its a crane bird stretching its wings seen the dvd in HD

  • watched the dvd and it is a crane bird stretching its wings soory to disapoint you all

  • he got the rope from the wizzard 

  • @PenultimateRun Well, actually, i was skeptical, so I never truly believed something like this was real, and I now know the explanation, so truly, I was never fooled.

  • @PenultimateRun says a youtube user.

  • oh now i see it. wow lol

  • i dnt see it?

  • They had live birds on the set to make it more realistic, what you see is actually a crane or something like that.

  • ....IT WAS OJ!!

  • If it was a munchkin I thinking it would have kept swinging it was only one swing that's something else ain't nobody

  • dudes chill the fuck out!! It is a REALLY old movie! The quality isn't going to be great!

  • @frankensteinmoneymac its an old movie chill.

  • Bird Is The Word.

  • @1MinuteOfYurLife I am seriously watch "FAMILY GUY - Bird is the Word" on FoxBroadcasting's channel....

  • its an emu. similar to an ostrich

  • wtf its such a bird lol... look at it closely.. youll first see its head bending down to eat.. few seconds later is spreads its wings to stretch.. lol all this time ive been defending the most retarded legend of all times.. WOW.

    

  • It's a bird...

  • first of all..the tree's are fake..so how would anyone ever even hang there selves from a plastic or foam tree.??

  • look above the chimney >:O

  • its not a bird. it was in the news but only in the black and white one P:

  • it is a bird watch this vid THE WHOLE THING (cuz part of it tells u it hanging but then it shows u its a bird)

  • it IS a bird. lol people these days ;)

  • it is a bird you guys. if you watch the actual movie and look closly you will see the bird spread its wings at one point1

  • it looks like a bird....

  • it was the director's daughter.

    

  • I heard it was the director that hung himself.

  • Wouldnt they moost like have scene that??

  • IT'S A BIRD EVERYONE

    why would they put a Munchkin kill him/herself?

  • I found out the truth about this myth...They had a bunch of animals around the set while filming, and what is actually there is an ostrich spreading its wings that's partially hidden by the tree.

  • @Melissails yeah a fucking ostrich GTFO moron.

  • LEGS 0:04

  • "An urban legend claims that, in the 1939 film, a Munchkin can be seen committing suicide (hanging by the neck from a prop tree and swinging back and forth) far away (left) in the background...however it can be seen to be a peacock moving its head in a swinging way once, then spreading and flapping its wings, not a Munchkin." - Wikipedia

    Thankfully it's just a bird and no munchkins died... I'm especially glad since most of them were children.

  • "An urban legend claims that, in the 1939 film, a Munchkin can be seen committing suicide (hanging by the neck from a prop tree and swinging back and forth) far away (left) in the background...however it can be seen to be a peacock moving its head in a swinging way once, then spreading and flapping its wings, not a Munchkin." - Wikipedia

  • umm i always knew it was a bird

  • its one of the birds in the background spreading its wings

  • nobody has proof that its a munchkin :L

  • @Meglie93 no they do i saw a show where the interviewd someone who worked on the moive

  • Comment removed

  • There is a subliminal message in "scary movie 2". when they are about to eat and the man walks into the kitchen with the food,the door is about to shut but a hand reaches out and stops it.

  • the quality makes it look like a person. i just watched the tape. it's a bird.

  • its actually a horse behind a tree prop and it lifts its head up and neighs...... its the producers... and it accidently got caught in the scene... my gf's grandpa happened to work on that set...

  • @daveybones13 How is that in any way, shape, or form, a horse?

  • @tehtrampownage hahaaahahahaha

  • the first time i saw this i knew it was not an actual man because it was sideways DUHHH!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @frankensteinmoneymac You obviously haven't seen many youtube videos if you think this is the worst quality..

  • why dos everybody say that there is a suicide here? i dont see any suicide, and dont tell me its that thing hanging from a tree far in the middel >=(

  • If it was a bird, why did it seem to swing from a center point, like a pendulum, and then swing back behind the tree? If it was a bird, it would have spread its wings both sides at 1 time, not one at a time. I dont think its a munchkin either cause it wouldve swung down into the middle of the 2 trees again and eventually stayed.

  • @MrSocksandsandals its the birds neck and head

  • there was a tv interview with real 1939 year movie munchkins and, they said no one died during the film, they said who ever said that is a horrible person

  • Some guy said that the hanging munchkin was above the chimney of the house, but he is the only one that said that, everyone else says that it is near the scarecrow when he trips while they're leaving. My mom thinks it is a bird, but I don't think so. The guy said that what everyone believes to be the munchkin is a crane and that the munchkin is above the chimney, but that is stupid because how would he bring a chair up in the air and a rope to hang himself? He'd have to be on the roof, he isn't.

  • It is an emu borrowed from the L.A zoo. They allowed these borrowed birds to roam the set to give the forest a more real, alive feel. If you watch closely on the left side of the "swinging body" you see the elongated neck and the beak to the left of the tree...

  • All the comments on the bad video quality cracks me up XD

  • Geez, the quality is crap!

  • i just waisted 9 seconds of my life -__-

  • lmao in the link it says "lots of lard birds such as peacocks were flying about in the trees" FAIL

  • did he died?

  • did you upload this using a f'n toaster man

  • It iz a munchkin cuz you can see the string

  • I think I saw it. It was behind that giant fuzzy blue pixel

  • @Rawkey lol its not even a real munchkin it was a BIRD!!! you can even look at The Wizard of OZ Munchkin suicide Debunked and u will be able to tell its a bird not a munchkin!!!

  • OMG THE BEST EVER QUALITY ON WIZARD OF OZ MUNCHKIN SUICIDE! (i mean why don't they do it like this instead!) BECUASE IT'S A WASTE OF TIME!!!

  • wow i just love pixelated munchkin suicide...or birds

  • why does this blurry piece of shit video have 500,715 views? you should be hung for posting this,,,some one get me my glasses, a rope and a rubber band

  • i cant see anything just all this crap

  • its not the munchkin it was the tin man and theres a scene where it closes up on a tree with pink blossems and its in the top left corner it looks like a caterpillar but it was proved that that is what it is

  • The website also proves it was fake, you know?

  • guys, it was a bird...to make the set look like a real farfetched woodsy area, they had to make the trees smaller and smaller as they go back.

  • Thank ya much! I will check it out!

  • Supposedly he is near the tree when the scarecrow trips, but I am too lazy too look close enough lol.

  • u know dats fake right?

  • i was expecting some retarted "scary" face to pop up at the end because i had to squint and try to figure out what the heck i was looking for

  • awesome.favorite it NOW

  • ????? I'm missing the point, clearly...

  • UM, what was the point of this??? This has got to be the worst quality video I have ever seen uploaded to Youtube...was this supposed to be an actual scene from the Movie? Or was this like the Atari 2600 2 bit videogame of the Movie? Or maybe this is a closeup of a digitally scrambled face of someone in protective custody! LOL! I mean come on!!! really what is the point in even uploading this...it looks like Freakin' Tetris!!!! You cant even make out the actors let alone a munchkin suicide!!!!

  • LMAO i was thinking the same thing

  • @frankensteinmoneymac

    hey the Atari had better graphics than that... sometimes.

  • @ravenwarrior77 LOL! Quite right! My appologies to the Atari corperation!!

  • @frankensteinmoneymac dont got nothing nice to say dont say it at all , and plus look at someone elses video of the same thing, it will explain more,,...

  • @MagicalYummySkittles Hmmmm interesting philosophy....Ive always been taught "if you dont have something incredibly cruel and humiliating to say, then dont say it at all", but its interesting to see someone elses Ideas, even if I dont agree with them. BTW I have seen the others, and do know what this is about.....I was just pointing out the pointlessness of uploading a version that looks like he shot it though a broken magnifyling glass from accross the room is all.

  • @frankensteinmoneymac Technically, if you actually look, you can see it quite clearly. Also, it's obviously the digitally remastered version.

  • @tehtrampownage LOL ;)

  • @frankensteinmoneymac this is actually one of the better shots of it on youtube. You just have an untrained eye. Do you even know where to look? If you dont then I suggest doing more research on this with other videos that localize the incident. Hope this helped!

  • @DEACONAP4LOVE Honestly I just watched it again, and it appears that they re-uploaded it, or somehow, otherwise fixed the problem. When I originaly made my comment it was literally unwatchable....you could barely see Dorothy let alone any alledged munchkin shadows in the background. This video IS much better than the one that was originally up, so I will certainly agree with you that what is up now seems to be pretty decent.

  • @frankensteinmoneymac lmao dude. loving your crazy rant about this.

    i laughed alot man.

    but your right it does look like a piece of mouldy shit.

  • @dumpiedude Thanks! :) actually though, I don't feel quite as bad about this clip as I did when I first commented. Back when I made my first comment (like 10 months ago or so) the quality of this clip was CONSIDERABLY worse than it is now. I'm not sure if, since then it was re-uploaded, or there may have been some problem on YouTubes end that they fixed.....but it really DOES look much better now. I feel it necessarry to point that out so it doesnt sound like I was just being an asshole! LOL!

  • @frankensteinmoneymac dude we are actually being nice to each other on youtube. this is very very very new to me. usually people just call me pisslips. or cockbreath or fannyface or something like that! your cool man! id add you as a friend but i dont know how! lol and yeaa man that does make sense

  • @dumpiedude Too, funny! Yeah, I am constantly getting into brutal arguements over some video or another, on here! Nice to be civil for a a change! LOL! I'll send you a friend Request...look in your messages you should be able to find it.

  • @frankensteinmoneymac lol sweet dude. your my first friend (on youtube i do have friends in real life lol)

  • It was a frikin bird they let off birds in the studio for effect its in a book! Madness, you guys will believe anything!

  • Madness? THIS... IS.. SPARTA! !!! Hiyah!

    Super Gerald Butler Kick!

  • But i thought little pepole were so happy

  • LOL - I get it. The quality of this video is so poor that no one can debate it it turely exists based on this footage. GENIUS!!!

    I believe that the 'hanging muchkin is just made up. Even when seeing this in full quality, it's hard to make out what it is, and the power of sugesstion makes people believe they are seeing it.

  • plus ive seen the movie tons of times if you look its actualy a peacock

  • WTF

  • this is the Japanese version

  • Omg ur quality of videos is soo nice :) i mite get a graphics card thats as good as that, i meen i wish my HQ videos had quality this good :) btw u owe 8 seconds of my life bak u 8-year old cunt

  • its so bad qualidy you can barley see it.

  • dude,you owe me 8secs of my life back.

  • dick

  • What is the meaning of putting this on?

  • hahahhaha, theres gotta no more then 50 pixels total, funny shit.

  • lmao, hd version.

  • What a waste of my time. Thanks.

  • That was awesome quality and I'm matching it from an iPhone

  • high definition

  • wtf?

  • awsome quality.

  • Comment removed

  • oh....i SO think i saw that with my eyes closed

  • i can so see it!

  • the real suicide takes place obove the cottage over the chimney but this videos quality is way to good to see tht

  • was it discovered?

  • it was blrry!!!!!!!!!

  • That is the best quality dude.

    Post more videos with this quality, because it's great shit.

  • Its the bird and then he flaps his wing!!!

  • dude it was electrician that got caught in the wiring they did a whole news broadcast on it

  • No Julian you're a wanker the munchkins had been hired but they weren't even on the bloody set it a stork!! Or crane or something

  • haha, quality is great.....

  • Isnt it though

  • LOLzz., its like im watchin it on the reflection on water., very good quality i love it

  • AMAZING QUALITY I THINK ITS 1080p HD OMG (fail.)

  • When this scene was shot, they hadn't even hired the munchkins yet. Just an urban legend invented about one of the birds in the scene flapping it's wings around in the background.

  • This is better quality then i get on my blue-ray!

    Great Job!
