@nonamesavailable5 To my understanding, the fork was used to eat the rat with. Someone else was living in the apartment with her, eating the rats with the fork.
Sorry to advertise my own videos, but I'm making a creepypasta/ARG-type-thing over at /user/ManaanAhto and absolutely NOBODY has found it yet so hopefully a few of you guys will come over and decide if it sucks or not.
How is a bunch of rats tied together considered to be a rat king? If you tie their tales together, they'll just squirm until they either get free or die of starvation. Kind of funny, actually.
I love this story! I've been interested in rat kings ever since I read The Amazing Maurice And His Educated Rodents. Such weird stuff, but so interesting.
And now I'm done with watching all of your videos. Can I just compliment you on how your videos are somehow soothing to listen to but deeply, deeply creep me out at the same time? It's amazing, seriously. I hope you make more videos someday.
@MelissaMaggot666 It's not so much that she has rats, but that she has an unknown creature living in her apartment eating the rats. On the whole, I'd rather have the rats.
@MelissaMaggot666 Normal rats don't use forks. Evil rats use forks. Normal rats use teeth. If you have a rat in your home using forks, you should keep an eye out.
awesome i really <3 everything of this video can you please tell me the name of the track or song that you used in this video is kinda dramatic and scary and bittersweet i got have it thanks keep the good work
The "thing" in her apartment is probably a German ghost. My grandmother was a first generation German immigrant, and she told us that after the World Wars (or maybe just the first - I don't remember) the German people had to resort to eating rats as there was little food and almost no money.
I watched the whole thing, and I heard there is something you are supposed to get at the end after watching it a second time. Yes there is something in her house eating rats and is tall enough to drop a fork. Anything else?
This is one of my favs. It also made me think that whatever the thing was that's in her apartment, is also tall enough to be eating the rats off the floor that when it dropped the fork it made a clang sound.
I like how she closes the door right after. Like, "yea I'm just gonna go back to bed now..." I would have shat my pants.
What do you mean 'in German folklore a rat king is considered an extremely bad omen'??!? Is there any context, folkloric, German or otherwise in which a monstrous clump of rats fused at the tail, skittering about with teeth, claw and godawful bubonic death would be considered anything other than just a terrible, terrible omen?
"Oh look honey, a ball of diseased rats just dropped from the ceiling onto my face while I was asleep."
"Gosh darling, looks like we're in for a good harvest this year!"
if you dont know the whole horror of this is There is something in her apartment that rats are afraid of and its intelligent enough to use a fork to eat them with
She should catch the big rat, it's probably a spirit that has claimed her apartment as it's home. If she can catch it and contain it she would have control over a powerful ward against other spirits and misfortune in general. Of course she would have to befriend it, but that's easy enough, just feed it rats.
I looked this up and the reason why a rat king is considered to be a bad omen is because rats are associated with disease, therefore, a large cluster of rats tied together are associated with lots of disease happening at the same time, i.e. a plague (or *the* plague). In fact, according to Google, the earliest known instances of rat kings were in the middle of the 16th century, when the plague was raging the hardest.
@x0ticShwty That can be easily diagnosed my good sir. As an example set from H.P. Lovecraft's short story
Pickman's Model, "The greatest horror of all comes from life itself". So ummmmm go out and have a scary adventure. Trust me when one seeks horror one is bound to get alot more than what they bargained for......Plus you might survive to get to tell about it.
You never said she lived alone. I'm going to use that and pretend like she had a roommate that indulged in midnight snacks. I think that'll help get me to sleep.
While I was watching this, listening to it at night... my dog brushed against my ankle. I shat BRICKS. THANK YOU. o_e

Thing is, the reason German folklore sees rat kings as bad omens is because of the black plague, not anything supernatural.
