With a name like Midnight Rider, I half expected a motorcyclist supervillain.

I'm not saying he wasn't because obviously he was but I find it strange how those people were quick to call Butler mad but found it perfectly normal to steal bones of murder victims to keep as souvenirs. Great work as usual by the Bedtime story team , your videos never disappoint

It’s always sad and disappointing when a victims don’t get named, and to have five victims , including children , is worst of all, I wonder about their last moments their fear and shock. I really do hope they found peace in the after life.

It could be that Eugene Butler kidnapped people he came upon while patrolling his land. He took them back to his house, killed them, and buried them in the crawl space. What's interesting is the almost ritualistic way Butler smashed his victims' skulls to bits, like something a schizophrenic person would do. And since he claimed he heard voices telling him what to do, it's more than likely that Butler suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, which would explain his dark actions.🤔

I postulate that someone that knew how crazy he was used his house for the storage of the bodies after he was taken away. They knew the house was empty and that anything...odd, would immediately blamed on the crazy guy that used to live there, and that when the bones were discovered, the original killer came and got them so they could be reburied somewhere else before the could be identified.

Something I don't think about much because stories are so good, but I love the accompanied animation. The artwork is phenomenal, it creates a definite vibe/mood/feel, I love the small use of bright color for lights, flame, etc. Just something I don't think gets mentioned enough and is amazing.

I was born and raised in Grand Forks and lived there for 43 years, but I have never heard of this incident. I think I graduated high school with a girl from Niagara. It is really cool hearing a Bedtime Story that took place in my hometown.

Great story, fella sounded like a paranoid schizophrenic. Perhaps because of his large estate a laborer may have tried to rob his estate and upon catching him in the act he killed the laborer. That could have made him believe everyone was out to steal from him. The family could have been visiting or just strayed onto his property and he in his psychosis thought they too were going to rob him OR he saw the female of the family wanted him and that could have been the catalyst for the killing.
Still though motive in this one doesn’t really matter, he likely was the only one that did the killings that ended the lives of at least 3 adults and 3 kids.
Sad story.

It's episodes like this that truly show the amount of research done by the BTS team to give us great entertainment. They always make an effort to approach a subject at every angle, from mundane to extraordinary, giving both down-to-earth views as well as highly improbable concepts ( that are yet still within the realm of possibility ). Phenomenal work, as always!

I personally think that he did hear people snooping around his property at night, probably to get a glimpse of the loner freak because people were curious about him and he being in his paranoid delusional state murdered them thinking they were going to rob him. They might have been from out of the area too, as word may have got around about the 'crazy guy' and they wanted to see for themselves. That would explain why there was a roughly equal amount of men, woman and children but no family had been reported missing. Also if he deliberately built his house a distance away from the rest of his townsfolk, he clearly wanted to be left alone, but I imagine people didn't.

Living just a hour or two away from the site of these murders, (North Dakotan's always make allowance for weather conditions,) I can honestly say I have never heard this story before. It is truly the antithesis of life in ND- even more so back then. The region is still full of God fearing folk, with "fearing" meaning they respect God in their life and abide best as they are able by his instructions. Life here is idyllic, except for the snows of Winter- which we are still struggling with at the time of this post.
Nothing like this ever happens in ND, least very rarely. But the state mental institution in Jamestown, mentioned in the story, is still running. (I had no idea it was this old.) I often pass it on my way into town for "supplies" from Wal-Mart. It goes to show that the human mind and soul are delicate things... and easily broken.
Guard yours well.

I think he was schizophrenic, when he had a fortune he suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. My grandpa had the same thing… the doctors told us that it was caused by a very traumatic event when he was younger, where someone was trying to kill him that pretty much traumatized the brain and made him start doubting people for any little thing or sometimes for no reason at all.

The way the writing, narration, animation, and interesting true stories coalesce always makes for excellent and compelling videos! I really admire this channel!

It seems like that the murderer use sledgehammer or mace to crush a skull. Now that’s a gruesome death…

Bedtime and wartime stories, there is just something so unique about both channels. The narration is amazing and the illustrations set it apart from everyone else. It almost puts you there in the moment when these events happened.

Seems mildly impossible that a frontier/settler town could lose a whole family without any one noticing. People travelled, but not nearly as much as we do today. So random folk passing through and getting got is possible but not likely. Maybe some one else did the killings and/or dumping after Butler got sent away? Still leaves us at square one for everything else though. I don't know; it's weird as sh!t, man.

The title of this episode makes me think of the Johnny Cash song. I can't help it.
Go and tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

The post credits scene had me laughing way too hard

Special thanks to Aaron Bosh for suggesting this subject as the winner of our Halloween competition. You asked and we listened: Return to the Nightshift is in the works (top rated comment on the Betz Sphere video). Some considerations regarding this episode: In our research, we found multiple spellings of Leo Verkuelehn's surname. In some sources it is spelled "Verhuelehn" or "Verbuelehn". We simply went with the one that appeared most frequently. Some sources also state that he was not the owner of the house, but one of the labourers digging out the basement. Again, we went with the information that most articles agreed upon (that he was the owner). Finally, some sources (including the Wikipedia article) state that Butler died in 1913. Both his obituary and tombstone show the year of his death as 1911.
