The Thread of Creepy

[elevenism]

this scared the shit out of me when i was a kid and it still creeps me out
@theimage13 , much like horror movies and comedy, creepiness is subjective.
also, 99% of the creepy youtube things are hoaxes or art projects.
purposeful suspension of disbelief helps

[elevenism]

have you guys seen this one?

[Jinsai]

well, I'm generally not a fan of "top five things you blah blah blah" videos, and I'm not generally creeped out by "shocking" collections...

but this was pretty genuinely unsettling

I'd never seen the Bjork assassin suicide video/manifesto, and the hammer killer bit was so unnerving... the way they're laughing, talking like they're about to prank someone in some harmless way.

I will say though, number one is bullshit. The whole catacombs disappearance dude thing being real. I wasted at least an hour of my time looking into that to see if it could have any bearing on the truth... nope. Not true, still, good job guys, totally creepy

The college kids disappearing in the abandoned mental institution also seems to be fake.

[Substance242]

One video remains in my head from this thread (I think it was here): "hand thing" - that was really weird. :-)

as @Jinsai said, the ummmm hammer brothers thing is totally real though.

that is disturbing on a different fucking level, for real.

as for me, i'm more into the CREEPY things, real or fake

[Deepvoid]

I love discovering new threads on this board.
Here's one I found recently. Shit gets real at 2:35.
Note that this guy isn't out there to look for ghosts. He explores abandoned mines.



He did return after this first video.

Dan Bell's urban exploration videos are worth watching

[Deepvoid]

I love Dan Bell's video. Even the abandon mall series, shot in daylight, is eerie.

[elevenism]

so you are into creepy youtube vids and such, @Deepvoid ?

Man, i bet we will come up with a lot of shit for this thread between the two of us.

I spend a ridiculous amount of time seeking this shit out. I just need to start sharing it with you guys

It's just a long task to weed out all the fake stuff. Especially for paranormal stuff.

Just recently heard about the Buzzer or UVB 76.
More mysterious than creepy. This has been broadcasting non-stop since 1982 I believe.

One of these days I should take a camera and walk around the building that I work in and post it. It's an old Theater built in the first decade of the 1900s, and was used as a Vaudeville Theater until the mid-30's then, transformed into a movie theater which last until the 80s. Then it sat empty for 20 years before being somewhat renovated. So currently our theater is built within the building and there are there are still a LOT of spots around the building that are hidden.

A few examples, down in the basement, you can crawl through a hole in the wall that leads you to the original orchestra pit door/pit that is still VERY creepily in tact. Our entire upper balcony is still in tact, and if you climb up to the top of the old Projection booth area, you can shimmy along a wall to a ladder at the other end of the room. And if you crawl up that ladder it leads to two things: an old steel crate that is locked super tight (rumors are that it holds either booze or hidden money/weapons stashed by KC Mafia who used the building as an illegal speak-easy during Prohibition and smuggled booze through a man-made underground tunnel, that is now filled in sadly, to a hotel across the street. ALL TRUE.) and to your right of that box is an a weird square room with old elevator pulleys and a door that is probably about half a foot thick of solid steel. So many employees have had "experiences" in that building at one point or another that its kinda crazy. And yes, it is historically proven that multiple people have in fact either died or been murdered in that building. The most recent being a guy who was stabbed to death while watching Flash Gordon in the 80s.

[Swykk]

Interesting. Nobody has tried to open that crate?!

That would be awesome if you find the time to film these hidden areas.
I absolutely love urban exploration. There are so many buildings here in Montreal that are prime locations for that type of exploring. I'm just too old to get caught for trespassing or some shit like that. I know it's just a ticket but still...

[richardp]

Oh no we've tried. Its like bolted shut by a giant screw that is probably the size of my fist, but it's so rusted and stripped that it's virtually impossible. And I don't think our GM actually cares enough to pay someone to come open it, so everyone just always fantasizes about what's in there.

@Deepvoid , a lot of the creepiest stuff i've seen is "fake."
i don't want to see fake ghost footage, mind you, but i love me some terrifying avant garde art projects-especially the ones that are posted with no explanation.

Even some of the weirdest videos have ultimately been explained.
On the top of my head I'm thinking about ...





But with that being said, here's something I find creepy. The disappearance of Lars Mittank.
This is the last known footage of the guy. Been missing since July 2014. Some background info: https://www.bizarrepedia.com/lars-mittank-mystery/

Wait a minute .. there's an explanation for the catacombs video? I've never seen one. You have a link by any chance?

[Jinsai]

The proof is more in the fact that there is no existing uncut version of the entire video. The expose on it was part of an ABC tv show about the most haunted places in the world. The same show had been outed on another occasion of fabricating their "evidence" and making stuff up. That tv show is the only source of the footage.

Now, think about it... the footage on that video would be important evidence to turn into the police. It would be a matter of public interest, as the person from the video could be missing, and their family might want to know about it.
But we're to believe that this guy just can't be bothered to upload the full video?

Additionally, he stages some really obvious things... The most obvious of which is his claim that the catacombs are sealed off from the public. That's not true. You can go in with a guide for a two kilometer tour for 5 euros. I'm not sure of the exact timeline here either, but it seems that this ABC episode would have been released shortly after the Blair Witch Project found-footage craze, so it seems likely that it was trying to tap into that. All signs point towards it being completely staged.

I agree with some of your arguments.
From the video, there's really no way to identify the person. Who knows if the police was informed. Is it possible to sweep the entire catacombs for a missing person? I really doubt that.
My biggest issue with the video is the fact that he dropped his cam for no apparent reason, except to create some "found footage".

Speaking of trees, I always found this one interesting...

[kel]

LOOK AT THIS. PROOF THAT OUR CONSCIOUSNESS CAN EFFECT REALITY.




The key here is that a focused, meditative state has a greater effect.
