The World's Most Flammable Tradition: The Gavle Goat | Fascinating History

In this video I explore the history of the Gävle Goat - a giant straw goat constructed in the Swedish city of Gävle each Christmas, which has an unfortunate history of going on fire a lot... Fascinating History posts weekly videos about infamous flops, failures and mistakes from throughout history... and whatever other weird stories from the past catch my eye. Thanks for watching!
