For anybody who took a small interest in The Ring will probably like most of this. For those skeptics who don’t even like to mull over ‘impossible’ possibilities should take this with a grain of salt. I’m not claiming any of this to be real, I simply plan on stating the lore and history of said videos. Not all of them are considered ‘paranormal’. Some of them are just creepy. We’ll start with the ones that are obvious and work our way up into the more cryptic and confusing.
This just wouldn’t have the same effect if user 666 on youtube wasn’t actually suspended. I tried to do a small search of why the user’s account was suspended 4+ years ago, but nothing (besides Yahoo! Answers, but who the hell actually uses that for research?) came up. The video was originally uploaded to Nico Nico Douga and apparently became an instant hit. Just recently, the creator submitted another similar video called Another Youtube. Personally I don’t think it’s different enough to deserve extra merit, but some of nana’s other work is pretty awesome. Check them out, should these kind of videos interest you.
I suppose the reason the British are so much more well-adjusted than we are is because they had to put up with this shit as children. This is unfortunately one of the few original videos you’ll find of this disturbing masked man on the internet, considering how old it is. There’s no real mystery behind it… Besides the question ‘How the hell did the producers think this was kosher for small children?’ Luckily a kind user by the name of ashens has taken it upon himself to make more of these videos and portray Noseybonk in the way we all see him. As a sadistic psychopath. Here’s his youtube.
Getting into more… Confusing videos, we have Shaye Saint John. Now, I really like Shaye for a couple of reasons. 1. This person never dropped character. 2. It makes you wonder if this actually was a character, or how a disturbed individual really saw the world. I’m gonna tell you straight up front, all of Shaye’s videos are like this. All of them. And it’s fantastic. There was even a movie made about Shaye and Kiki (one of her doll comrades) antics. I’m serious.
The only thing that links Shaye to our world is the name Eric Fournier. He is listed as the director of the movie, but whether he was the one behind the camera or mask remains a mystery. Unfortunately, he died a couple of years ago, leaving no hint to what Shaye Saint John really was or intended to be. Was he insane or a genius? A guy who did acid, or somebody with a twisted sense of humor? Who knows.
Here’s a fun one. Mereana Mordegard Glesgrov is it’s name, and it’s one of the smaller urban legends of the tubes. The short story to this video is that when people watched the original, they’d gouge their eyeballs out and send it to Youtube’s headquarters, which caused the company to edit the video and re-upload this one so viewers would think it was all a hoax.
Obviously, it is. If you look it up on youtube now, you’ll see a video that has the original picture. This gives me an idea for an internet urban legends post. Hm. We’ll see about that.
The first video in a line of many, Marble Hornets has developed a small following in such a short time. Most people who watch it realize it’s fake because they know the history behind Slenderman. He was created on the Something Awful forums in an attempt to come up with the creepiest creature possible. I’d like to say ‘mission successful’, because I couldn’t sleep for days after watching all the videos.
Originally it had ended at entry #28, but around the end of 2010, the videos started right back up. While I understand it’s not real, I still love following this series. If you find any interest in it, I suggest you follow Marble Hornets Twitter.
Anyways, I had actually planned on doing more, but seeing as this post alone took me 3 days to get up, I think we’ll just say this is a series and I’ll continue it at a later date (like the websites).
