The robed harbinger of human demise was once seen much differently, as was death itself. The history of how we personify death is a record of what we face in life.

History Guy went all out for … death
Lmao, you got me about 30 seconds lol
Could be a new fav!!!
In the Megadeth songs, "Time: The Beginning" and "Time: The End", Death is clearly represented by Chronos. Now I know where that connection came from.
I actually saw him He was like 20 feet tall misty with his 🐴s
The Ghostbusters reference was great.
Oh he doesn't scare me that much I've had to deal with the bigger fish than the grim reaper 😎😊
Professor Tulley! Deep cut
Awesome Content!
On an episode of The Twilight Zone, Rod Serling portrays death as a man in suit and tie who comes for an old man. The old man tricks him from being able to take him so death chooses to take a sweet little neighbor girl. The old man faces his mortality and again tricks death but this time it is to save the girl.
The grim reaper is real.. i captured him on camera sinking into the ground after walking up to a train in my neighborhood at night. Were in a simulation. The reaper video is on my channel
