Sweeney Todd - Fleet Street is Real!

[emmadilemmasings]

There's also a Fleet Street in Montreal :P

[deathroman13]

This video creeped me out a little XD

It is not a scary movie but when I heard the music and your description, I found it a bit scary XD

[Zee01Zee]

YES fleet Street is real! Sweeney Todd really existed. though through history his story has changed and rumored and made into a musical with made up characters. but there is historical papers and newspapers about the demon barber of fleet street, and a really made pies out of them as to dispose of their bodies. He was arrested and hung. He was a famous murderer in the 18th century. you can do research and there was a Sweeney Todd and a woman who made them into meat pies.

[animefan0258]

i wonder were there any evidence of sweeneys existence in fleet street?

[kiz97]

one of my friends sister works at a pub on fleet street and down below is haunted and one night she had to stay at the pub because of the snow and she heard scratching down in tunnel thing =P

[garganrose]

i heard sweeney todd only slit the throats of ritch people or people who had no families.

[operastar1994]

yes its true because i have past it lol but not mrs lovett's pie shop hehe

[PirateSisters]

Hoping to go there when we visit London this sping...and bring home some delicios meat pies...xD

[sdzechs2]

Yes fleet street is real you fucking doorknob!!!!! The ignorance of some people holy crap!

[FishsGuitarLessons]

The true facts can be found on google

[animerulez262]

i was watching the movie the other day with my friend and he said sweeny todd was the greatest demented killer the world has ever known but then i started this thing about who's more demented Jack the ripper or Sweeny todd. now youtuber you decide.

[MadeInEngland1993]

@animerulez262 i would have to say Sweeney, the kill count was more i believe and the fact that he and the women ground their victims into food puts him a step above jack but they are just as bad as each other...good argument though.

[forrestfire101CLUB]

lol everyone knows this is true because it accually happened so dont get too exited about the street bein there

[nirvanarox21]

It never happened!

[therealdrcrazy]

read the string of pearls its the book from the victorian era

[m4kaveli82]

Lmao ofcourse Fleet street is real. Its one of the most famous streets here.

[maisy173]

it's hardly unknown that fleet street is a real street, it's one of the most famous in london. not quite worth making a whole video about.

[refforendum]

there is some truth in the tale of sweeney todd

[modcons1]

Lol, oh thats funny, yes Fleet Street is real... and! lol

[CULAVE]

Of course Fleet St is real. There was never any mystery about that because its famous for other things too such as the printing press. The Sweeney Todd case however is debatable. Historian Peter Haining spent 25 years reaearching it and is convinced Todd was real (Google; Sweeney Todd, Fact or Fiction?)- however there is no reference in the Newgate Calender to his execution. Its intriguing.

[Fussino]

BBC says that Sweeney Todd WAS a real person, but didn't have any love-reasons or something, but wanted MONEY and killed people for it. AND ALSO gave Mrs. Lovett the flesh for meat pies. So it's written. And I believe it. And I like it. Prooves how surreal reality is. Nobody would ever have thought that Sweeney was real. Thar ye are.

[Fussino]

And yes, he was a Barber. (Says BBC) lol

[demykun]

It's true actually. I have the book about it, and I tell you what, it was an amazing and interesting read.

[Fussino]

I suppose, yeah... How's it called? I wonder if there's a german version of it... I'd read it immediately.

[demykun]

Sweeney Todd. *shrugg* There's another name, but i can;t recall it for the life of me.

[Huggable456]

i belive sweeney waz real.but some dont because they cant find a record.but they look under sweeney todd. and his real name waz a benjamin barker

[DrivebyMassacretv]

there is no real evidence of a sweeney todd or his original alias.. no prison records no death records... nothing... I visited 186 at fleet street... its a fucked up place... the supposed real sweeney was originally discovered cos he we dump bodies in the catacoumbs next door as of the smell but people noticed fresh bodies and became overwhelmed... is he real? maybe? I would like to think a guy hacked up 150 people and put them into pies... but thats just me x

[demykun]

Yeah, the catacomes were in the basement of a nearby church, and they noticed because people were getting sick from the smell.

[modcons1]

lol, People Pies.. and why not, meat was hard to come by in those days (:...

[olliebloodaxe]

that sweeny and todd pie shop is actualy in reading ive been in there before but for some reason a pie shop being called sweeny and todds kinda puts you off wanting pie

[Fussino]

Now I even want more >=P

[vampuricprincess]

ive been waiting for someone to get good photos of fleet street. i love this video.

[StueyLestrange]

Okay Sweeney opend a shop at the adress (thought of) as 186 fleet street estimated 1785..caught 1801..he was hung and then dissected Mrs Lovett is meant to have taken piosen. I beleive they were real people and he was a murderer they found some good evidence in the vaults beneath 186 and st. Dunstans leading to Bell Yard. Hehe yeah fleet street is real..(the story of the chair? hes thought to only of killed a few this way one a Mr Thornhill, the last victim)

[AtrumTentatio]

Yeah, the guy from Cities of the Underworld on the History channel went into the basement that was thought to be where Todd finished off his victims and then dragged the bodies through a tunnel leading into Mrs. Lovett's shop to be turned into pies. It was awesome. They should make a documentary solely focused on Sweeney Todd.

[krisdestiny]

Apparently there was a sketch drawing in the 1800s of Mrs. Lovett's Meat Pie shop in an old London newspaper. I thought that was weird. Sweeney was supposedly real as well. He was hung and then chopped into pieces. He wasn't killed by a teen.

[krissyboom]

anno lmao

i think that the existance of fleet street is common knowledge.

its one of the main streets in london

[mistercoolguy900]

I went to London a few weeks ago. and I visited fleet street. :D

[SOUTHSIDER1985]
