The Disturbing Hoaxes Iceberg Explained
well lazy legion it’s halloween again and this year i think you will deserve a little treat a treat that comes in the form of a list of tricks usually we try to stick to true crime and real scary stories on this channel but today we’re turning our attention towards hoaxes specifically this hoaxes iceberg created by reddit user silentchatter this charts fell to the brim with all manner of deceptions that have taken place over the years some of them harmless fun others far more sinister with real world consequences as we make our way down from the clear skies into the
murky waters things will get progressively more obscure and for the most part dark it’s a pretty big iceberg so i’ll be skipping the entries that don’t fit with the halloweeny vibe we’re going for i’ll also be throwing a couple of my own choices into the mix too so make sure you have that bell icon turned on cue that iceberg tearless music and join me as we make our way down into the abyss bigfoot’s body in 2008 two bigfoot hunting hobbyists named matthew whitten and rick dyer contacted the media with a bold claim according to them they just made the discovery of the century
while exploring a remote wooded area in north georgia they accidentally stumbled upon a sasquatch den home to a small community of primitive ape men and ape women on the outskirts of the den they found a dead male bigfoot which they said was seven feet seven inches tall and weighed more than 500 pounds they managed to drag the carcass away from the den without being detected and put the creature’s body on ice they then immediately called up news outlets to report their discovery and sent them this photo to prove they really had found a dead sasquatch
they added that they were going to release video footage that they had taken of the other living specimens along with indisputable dna evidence that this really was the missing link big publications like cnn and the new york times began reporting on the alleged discovery and sasquatch enthusiasts around the world started getting excited that this was really it this was the eureka moment bigfoots were real bigfoots big feet i’m not sure how you pluralize it to be honest but one thing we can all be sure of is that this was all a hoax no evidence
was ever presented by the two men which proved they’d really found a genuine sasquatch carcass and the photo was denounced as a fake turns out that one of the men rick dyer ran a bigfoot tours company and this whole thing was just a publicity stunt to help him drum up business and also for him to get his 15 minutes of fame hey we’re talking about him now so i guess it worked as for his accomplice matthew whitton he was fired from his job as a police officer for his role in this hoax fake celebrity deaths if there’s one thing that the
internet’s filled with it’s reports on fake celebrity deaths or at least it used to be i remember seeing loads of these growing up rowan atkinson was a common one that popped into my feed from time to time eddie murphy apparently died in a snowboarding accident to be honest pretty much every major celebrity fell victim to this hoax at one stage or another there you’d be happil
y scrolling down your newsfeed on facebook and then bam r.i.p will and jaden smith you will be missed so why were these hoaxes so common back in the day well for starters they’re easy to make up and if you create a fake post about a well-known person’s passing a lot of gullible people will probably take it at face value and share it around without google checking first this turned out to be a much bigger problem than people realized hackers quickly became aware of how easily these rumors spread and began disseminating their own fake celebrity death articles online people would stumble upon a picture of their
favorite famous face see the breaking news headline and that big old r.i.p hit the share button without thinking and then click on the article the link would take them to a site designed to infect their computer with malware these posts became more than just hoaxes they’d become scams set up with the intent purpose of obtaining your name address and bank details and millions of social media users inadvertently helped spread them these types of scam articles are nowhere near as common as
they were back in the early 2010s but they do still crop up today so stay vigilant paul is dead and the avril levine replacement theory so we’ve just covered fake celebrity death reports easy to disprove with a simple google search but then there’s the other type of celebrity death hooks the replacement theories the two most famous ones have to be paul is dead and the avril levine replacement hypothesis according to these theories both paul mccartney and avril lavigne died early on in their respective careers but were
replaced by body doubles so that their labels could continue to sell records those who take these theories seriously like to point to changes in both of their appearances over time changes that supposedly occurred after their original versions died subliminal clues are apparently scattered throughout both of their discographies too for example at the end of the beatles song strawberry fields forever you can supposedly hear john lennon sing the line i buried paul john himself actually said he sang the words cranberry sauce but hey all of the beatles were
aware of the paul as dead hoax and despite each member repeatedly saying it was just a stupid rumor the urban legend still persists as for avril lavigne people point to the appearance and disappearance of various moles and blemishes on her skin between her first and second album as well as her sudden makeover during that period i mean it’s almost like people change over time like paul before her avril has denied these replacement rumors on multiple occasions and believes the theory only came about because quote people are just bored and need something to talk about
dead celebrities are still alive so in contrast to the last entries sometimes people don’t want to admit that their idol has passed away and i understand letting go can be hard as such some folks have come up with theories about how certain dead celebrities are actually alive and well some more believable than others elvis was an undercover fbi agent that infiltrated the mafia and the feds helped him fake his own death so he could slip away into witness protection michael jackson faked his death to escape the limelight and then appeared on the larry king show
under the name dave dave soon after as a secret farewell to his biggest fans countless others escaped to a private island somewhere to live out their days in peace well the sad reality is no one lives forever celebrities especially those who achieve any degree of fame actually have a lower life expectancy than the average person and the more famous they get the shorter they’re predicted to live the pressures of fame and success can ultimately be too much for many celebrities to bear and they turn to a life of excess as a
means of escape which in turn has a huge impact on both their health and wealth it’s not uncommon for them to spiral out of control and end up in some dark places mentally physically and financially with the rest of the world looking on and treating their decline as entertainment with all that in mind the fact that they often pass so young really shouldn’t surprise us at all when it comes to all of these dead celebrities are still alive theories when you look into them for more than five minutes it becomes glaringly obvious they’re
full of massive logical holes are based on little to no evidence and are nothing more than wishful thinking at best an intentional hoaxes at worst i remember there being this great commercial back in the day that played into this type of hoax and had kurt cobain elvis john lennon tupac bruce lee and marilyn monroe all living it up on a secret island hiding from passing ships and sipping on brewskis it’s a funny ad but also perfectly showcases how ridiculous some of these theories can be
alien autopsy when it comes to hoaxes is there anything more classic than a good old alien story they’re like the margarita pizza of hostdom basic yet satisfying but convincing images of aliens are very rare indeed there have been a few that have fooled a sizable number of people however but perhaps the one that spooled the most was the 17-minute long 1995 video known simply as the alien autopsy tape the footage had apparently been filmed at area 51 directly after the 1947 roswell incident and was touted as being a leaked government secret
the grainy black and white film shows three scientists in full hazmat suits dissecting a realistic looking dead alien that was found in a crashed spaceship the realistic footage captured the public’s imagination and a documentary investigating the tape’s authenticity was made called alien autopsy fact or fiction this documentary aired on fox three times with one broadcast reaching 11.
7 million viewers for over a decade people debated whether this was a genuine government tape or not with there being no definitive proof either way so alien autopsy fact or fiction well it’s on this iceberg so i think you already know the answer to that turns out the footage had been made by two british filmmakers along with a few professional friends they had in the movie industry they eventually came clean and said that the alien was a life-size doll it’s realistic bendable limbs they’d been made with lamb bones that they bought at the
local butchers the alien’s insides were made up of sheep sprains and cow gizzards to their credit the filmmakers had recorded the footage with a lot of care to detail making sure all of the props were authentic for the period and even shooting the whole thing on 16 millimeter film of course some of the more die-hard alien enthusiasts out there still believe the tape is authentic and say the government simply got to the filmmakers and forced them to go along with the hoax narrative and i get it it’s much more fun to believe than to disbelieve but in this case
the truth isn’t out there it’s right here and the truth is this was just a hoax 2012 apocalypse man this one takes me back according to the mayan calendar the world was supposed to end in 2012. this one was obviously a hoax because well take a deep breath did it feel good of course it did you’re still alive pal this man have you seen this man every night all over the world hundreds of people see this face in their dreams if this man appears in your dreams too or if you have any information that can help
us identify him please contact us so says the famous flyer that originated on thisman.org this has to be one of the most popular scary tales to circulate around the internet as the story goes the sketch of this man was created by a well-known psychiatrist in new york who was recreating the character that kept appearing in one of his patients dreams soon the psychiatrists other patients saw this uncanny image and noted that they too had seen this man in their dreams despite having never met him in their waking life
the psychiatrist passed the picture on to some of his colleagues and soon more than 2 000 of their patients had claimed to have dreamt about this man on a regular basis as the legend of this man grew in popularity he started seeping from the internet into other media there was a reference to this man in the x-files and here in japan a manga series was released about him posters and flyers started popping up in major cities spreading the story of this man to the offline world and asking people who had dreamt about him to come forward
but although many people have claimed to have seen this man in their dreams they’re either just suggestible or actively playing into the hoax for fun the website and the story were both the creation of andrea nattella an italian marketer nutella admitted that this man and thisman.
org was simply a marketing boy though he never actually said what he was marketing so in one sense the campaign was massively successful because who here hasn’t heard about this man before on the other hand it was a complete flop because what the hell was he advertising given the large number of people from all over the world that either helped us spread this hoax or actively bought into it it’s safe to say nutella was tapping into something with his mysterious campaign there’s clearly something about us all collectively dreaming about the same man that really draws us in and captures our imaginations
fiji mermaid this creepy object is known as the fiji mermaid but before i explain what it is let me ask you something have you ever seen the greatest showman you know the feel good story of pt barnum well i hate to break it to you but pt barnum wasn’t a nice guy in the movie he empowered people but in real life he was much more interested in exploiting them for instance he sometimes exhibited african-americans with birth defects saying that it demonstrated their so-called inferiority
he also charged people to see a 161 year old woman who in reality was only half that age and when the woman died barnum held a public autopsy for all to see try and make a musical number about that in 1842 pt told the world that he had found a real-life mermaid and exhibited this creature to the public he described it as quote an ugly dried-up diminutive specimen about three feet long its mouth is open its tail turned over and its arms thrown up giving it the appearance of having died in great agony this description shocked the public because up until that point everyone
imagined mermaids as these beautiful human-like creatures still its grotesque appearance didn’t stop thousands of paying customers coming to marvel at this newly discovered beast i guess there really is a sucker born every minute like pt said because this mermaid was nothing but a hoax as it goes an american sea captain named samuel barrett eads bought the mermaid from some japanese fishermen it’s believed the fisherman took the mummified torso and head of a juvenile monkey and sewed it to the back half of a fish as a joke well it was a lucrative joke because
the captain paid them six thousand dollars for what he thought was a real mummified mermaid this treasure eventually made its way back to pt barnum who profited from it as he had with numerous hoax attractions throughout his career the original fiji mermaid was destroyed in a fire not long after but several recreations like this have since been made man beef man beef refers to a website that appeared in 2001 one that quickly gained notoriety as the name implies the site claimed to be selling human flesh for the quote unquote
sophisticated human meat consumer the site proclaimed we have everything from sausages and soup bones to bouillon and stock all made with the highest quality human meats every cut of human meat we sell has been selected for its superb quality and flawless texture we only offer the choicest cuts of meat most people heard about man beef via emails specifically emails from angry gullible folks who wanted to have the site taken down and the owners investigated with the site receiving half a million hits a day the u.s food administration were forced to look into it
unsurprisingly they found no evidence of any human meat being sold in fact there wasn’t even a way to buy any food products on the side the only thing for sale was man beef branded merchandise it was simply a spoof site set up by a guy with the alias joseph christopherson who said he was just trying to be gross and churn a few stomachs the sight shut down at the end of 2001 finger in wendy’s chilly meat’s still on the menu with this entry in 2005 a woman called anna ayala ordered a bowl of chili at a wendy’s restaurant in san jose
she enjoyed the first few spoonfuls but then one mouthful had a particularly strange crunch to it she spat out whatever she had just bitten into and looked down at it in horror it was the partially cooked tip of a human finger which had been hidden in amongst all the chili the scandal drew international headlines and ended up costing wendy’s an estimated 21 million dollars in lost business nobody wanted to receive a surprise serving of wendy’s finger food the company bosses believe that anna had planted the finger in the chili herself
in order to sell her story to the media and potentially take them to court rather than let their brand be tarnished wendy’s instead offered a 100 000 reward to anyone with information about how the finger got in the chili they didn’t need to pay up in the end however a police investigation revealed the truth before anyone could claim the money it came to light that the finger hadn’t been cooked in the chili at all the whole thing was a scam cooked up by anna and her husband jaime they’d gotten a severed finger from one of jaime’s
co-workers who lost it in an industrial accident fried it in a pan at home themselves and lied about it being in the chili anna plead guilty to fraudulently pointing the finger at wendy’s and was sentenced to a whopping nine years behind bars she was released four years into her sentence on good behavior but to this day is banned from ever setting foot inside a wendy’s restaurant tainted halloween candy there have long been rumors that if you go trick-or-treating some despicable individual might drop some poison candy into your bag
everyone seems to think this is something that happens but in truth there have never been any reports of someone being given lace sweets or chocolate by a stranger while trick-or-treating there was a father who took the life of his own son on halloween night using this method so that’s likely the genesis of these hoax stories but yeah this has never happened to anyone going door to door montana zombie eas in 2013 the residents of great falls montana received the shock of their lives when the local tv station krtv was suddenly interrupted by the emergency alert system
no images flashed on screen but that bone-chilling warning tone sounded off at an ear piercing volume before an authoritative male voice made a chilling announcement reported that the bodies of the dead are rising from their graves and attacking the living follow the messages on screen that will be updated as information becomes available do not attempt to approach or abraham these bodies as they are considered extremely dangerous this warning applies to all areas receiving this broadcast turn into 9 20 am to get updated information
in the event that you are separated from your television or if electrical service is interrupted this station will now sees transmission so please use your battery powered radio tune in to 9 20 am for the nation the message was short but disturbingly clear the end was nigh thankfully the ravenous undead hadn’t actually resurfaced a feast on our brains this was all the handiwork of some unidentified hackers seeing how this hoax took place on a monday afternoon few people were tuned in to actually hear it unfold but just imagine you’re home alone going about your business
with the tv on in the background when you suddenly hear an emergency warning tone followed by a convincing announcement saying the dead have awoken to feast on the living i think a fair few of us would have started putting our zombie apocalypse plan into action dark web red rooms the dark web is considered by many to be the wild west of the internet the world wide web’s shadowy underbelly a lawless place where anything and everything goes there are countless stories from people who claim to have stumbled upon all manner of illegal activities
going on there right under society’s nose perhaps most infamous are the stories about red rooms red rooms are said to be sites on the dark web where viewers can pay to watch live streams of people being killed the things that happen to these poor souls are determined by the viewers who contribute to the live chat and leave donations with their requests whatever these viewers want they get and the highest bidder gets to decide the way the victim is ultimately dispatched of just gaining access to these streams is said to cost thousands of dollars perhaps even tens of
thousands which begs the question how do so many people have stories about these red rooms in the first place also how are these red rooms operating all of the secretive browsers like tor would struggle to support live stream video since they all run their web traffic through multiple servers people have sold terrible things through the dark web in the past but it just seems infeasible that they could sell tickets to a live event that would struggle to even run at the end of the day it’s incredibly hard to prove something doesn’t exist
but when the only evidence we have is anecdotes from anonymous users on the internet i think it’s safe to assume that red rooms are simply the subject of creepypastas and nothing more the cooper family falling body photo i’m sure you’ve all come across this image before the cooper family photo otherwise known as the creepiest photobomb of all time in the 1950s the cooper family bought an old house out in texas on their first night the father of the household took this photo of his wife mother-in-law and two young sons
it wasn’t until after the image had developed that they realized an uninvited guest to join them at the dinner table that night a falling or dangling body that hadn’t been there when the father snapped the picture they were gobsmacked but more than that and they were terrified clearly they were now sharing a home with a spirit there was no other explanation it’s a chilling photo for sure but fortunately or unfortunately some might say there’s no truth behind it if the strangely convenient composition of the photo didn’t give it away
or you know the fact that it’s clearly too good to be true this image is a fake the vignetting around the picture is far too symmetrical to be authentic and the photo has all the hallmarks of having been digitally tampered with either in photoshop or some other software according to hoaxes.org the story surrounding the image seems to have originated online around 2013.
though we don’t know who created the picture they likely inserted the falling ghost into an actual old image that they had found somewhere in order to make an art piece someone then came upon it online created the fake story about the cooper family and because it’s a genuinely creepy photo it naturally spread around the internet even though the image has been thoroughly debunked a lot of people still like to say that it’s real i’m not falling for it though drop bears if you’ve ever been to australia a local might have warned you to watch out for
drop bears a breed of koala but where most koalas are docile and herbivorous drop bears are predatory and carnivorous and much larger than their gentle cousins you’re bound to hear stories about unsuspecting travelers taking in australia’s natural beauty only for one of these drop bears to jump out from a tree and begin ferociously biting and clawing at them very dangerous creatures those droppers they always go for the throat in reality this is just a ninjok that aussies like to tell tourists in order to freak them out a little bit and plays into
that hole everything in australia wants to kill you meme slightly cruel mostly funny 100 a hoax lake city quiet pills lakecityquirepills.com was the domain for that old guy’s image host a website with a sinister undertone hosted by a reddit user known as milo it’s been speculated that the website which on the surface appeared to be nothing more than a place for users to share sordid pictures was actually a front for real-life contract assassins these rumors started when someone found strange things in the site’s coding
there appeared to be secret messages and ciphers hidden in the html saying things like need formed group 8 to 10 single operation delivery bonus gentleman’s agreement insurance immediate need need two english speakers private sector at sea hw experience a must recent s or sbs preferred these cryptic messages got a lot of people talking on reddit to many they sounded like job listings for hitmen hw experience heavy weapons theories started to be thrown around especially with regards to the site’s domain name lake city quiet pills
that was an odd domain for a site called that old guy’s image host to have some users speculated that lake city could be a reference to the lake city army ammunition plant the largest producer of small round ammo for the us government if that was true then a quiet pill might be code for a bullet user started digging through the reddit history of the site’s host milo one thing they noticed was he often talked about his real-life experiences in the military he’d leave replies to other users saying things like i can tell you from experience piano wire
is hard to pull through someone’s neck 0.030.050 stainless steel works best in my honest opinion don’t use brass or bronze avoid using wound guitar strings too they make too much noise he also gave his detailed thoughts on the best way to dispose of a body what’s the time factor involved will they be missed quickly oftentimes moving the body to a secure remote area and letting it go for a couple of months and then disposing of the bones is best but it must be really remote reddit detectives concluded that milo must have been an old contract killer and now in his old age
was hosting the lake city quiet pills website for working mercenaries looking for jobs links between the site and real-life hits were drawn up ideas like the name milo standing for military intelligence liaison officer were being discussed all of the evidence was coming together though obviously it was all speculative and none of it actually proved that milo or his website were linked to real life assassins there are still plenty of people who believe lake city choir pills is a merc for higher website but in all likelihood the whole story was a fabrication
the trail of breadcrumbs left by milo and others is a little too convenient for my taste on top of that popular youtuber barely sociable did some digging of his own and came to the conclusion that the whole thing was a hoax devised by a second life role player named trent katsu the whole thing was apparently perpetuated by members of the dsf forum in all likelihood that old guy’s image host was just some shady website trent and his friends set up which they then all decided to have some fun with
thus birthing the lake city quiet pills mystery even if they were posting genuine secret messages in the code you can rest assured they weren’t really job listings for assassins jengam oh lord i didn’t want to talk about this one but here we go so back in november of 2007 there was a bit of a widespread panic across the usa about a substance called jenkum this jenkum was apparently becoming popular in middle schools and high schools throughout the country and was being used by youngsters as a way to get high
they’d take this liquid substance known as jenkum and inhaled the fumes to hallucinate so how were so many broke students getting their hands on this jenkins stuff well they were making it you see jenkum is purportedly a real thing it originated in south africa and is made from fermented human feces writer emma guest described the making of jenkum as fermented human sewage scraped from pipes and stored in plastic bags or bottles for a week or so until it gives off numbing intoxicating fumes
these bags and bottles are sealed tightly so that the precious fumes don’t escape after the waste has festered those fumes are then inhaled and are said to give the user intense visions and feelings of euphoria and serenity hydrogen sulfide aka sewer gas has been tested on mice in the past and yes it does indeed cause hypoxia which can result in feelings of euphoria so jenkum itself is likely not a hoax and really is still used in parts of africa to this day particularly in zambia what was a hoax was that students in the usa were using it on mass in 2007.
so where did this hoax originate from what i understand the sheriff’s department of collier county florida issued a bulletin about widespread jenkins after discovering an online forum post made by a guy called pickwick who described how to make the stuff after hearing about this tv stations began reporting on it telling parents that this was a national problem and to smell their children’s breath when they came home from school to check if they’d been using butt hash never thought i’d say that on this channel as it turns out
these tv stations were full of there have been no reports of students using jenkum in the usa that year and it remains unclear why they thought it was such a national problem in the first place must have been a slow news week but yeah jenkum not even once hanging munchkin in wizard of oz i’m sure we’re all familiar with the wizard of oz right this classic movie became famous for its pioneering use of technicolor but in recent years has become infamous for an urban legend attached to it
in one scene that’s come to be known as the tin woodsman sequence dorothy and her companions are shown happily skipping down the yellow brick road off in the distance however something can be seen swinging in the background a dark blob the story goes that one of the munchkin actors had hanged himself during the filming of that scene and that this dark object is him dangling from the rope the reason this story became so prevalent is likely because of the film’s vhs release for the first time audiences were able to rewind the movie and pause at this
specific moment to analyze the background and speculate on what this sinister blob might be but the thing about watching a vhs on a home television is that the picture quality is nowhere near the level of film projected onto a cinema screen a lot of time had passed between when the film was screened in theaters and when it came out on vhs so most people watching it from the comfort of their own armchairs had never seen it on the big screen if they’d been able to they would have realized that the dark figure in the background was quite obviously not a dangling human and was
most likely a crane the additional fact that the munchkin actors didn’t arrive on set until after the tim woodsman sequence had been filmed should be enough to put this myth to bed once and for all still even though we can add this entry to our ever-growing pile of hoaxes there are still plenty of true horror stories attached to the wizard of oz’s production not with the terrible treatment of judy garland the aluminium paint poisoning of buddy epsom and the third degree burning of wicked witch margaret hamilton and her stunt double betty danko
seriously some of the onset stories from this film are messed up well to hell this is an urban legend about a group of siberian engineers who drilled the hole so deep they reached hell after drilling to a depth of 14.4 kilometers they allegedly broke through a cavity a thermal sensor was lowered into the well along with the microphone the thermal sensor took a reading of 1000 degrees celsius but more disturbing than that were the sounds picked up by the mic which were now emanating through the speakers the engineers clamped their hands
over their ears to try and block out what they were hearing the agonizing screams of the damned there was no doubt in any of their minds that these were the sounds of hell this story was first reported on in a religious newspaper called jewels of jericho before being picked up by other christian publications who either sincerely thought this story was true or were just trying to convince their readers that there really is a realm of fire below us dead fairy in 2007 a man named dan baines posted some unusual photos on his website photos like
this he claimed that a dog walker had found the remains of a strange creature around farstone hill in duffield derbyshire baines himself said that it was the mummified carcass of a dead fairy and pointed out the intact ears wings hair skin and teeth according to baines the fairy corpse had been examined by anthropologists and forensic experts who confirmed that the body was genuine x-rays had apparently shown that the creature had the same internal makeup as that of a small child except for the fact that its bones were hollow like a bird’s making it light enough to fly
word about this discovery spread and baines’s website started receiving 20 000 hits a day with hundreds of fairy believers sending him emails about how they had found something similar too here’s the thing though dan dambanes himself was a sculptor and an illusion designer in london he’d uploaded the images a few days before april fool’s day and intended the whole thing to be a prank he had no idea so many people would genuinely believe his sculpture was an authentic fairy body on april 1st he left a comment on his website declaring the whole thing had been a joke
he wrote even if you believe in fairies as i personally do there will always be an element of doubt in your mind that would suggest the remains are a hoax however the magic created by the possibility of the fairy being real is something you’ll remember for the rest of your life some believers refused to accept that fairies weren’t real and said that baynes was just trying to cover up the truth about their existence by releasing false information thus harming the credibility of various baines continued to receive a large volume of emails in the weeks and months
following his confession and said it took him up to four hours a day to reply to all of them in the end he listed his fairy sculpture on ebay it sold for 280 pounds cern ritual hoax cern is the european organization for nuclear research they operate the largest particle physics laboratory in the world home to the large hadron collider and other technical marvels the organization’s main focus is to provide the particle accelerators needed for high energy physics research and as such scientists from all across the world make use of their facilities
seeing how cern are at the forefront of cutting-edge technology and research there have of course been countless theories about what’s actually going on there some think that cern are experimenting with time travel others blame them for causing earthquakes some even believe that the scientists there are opening portals into hell and other dimensions all of these theories were of course baseless that is until 2016 when this found footage video leaked online the video depicts an occult ritual being performed by cern employees at the geneva facility
all of them dressed in black cloaks gathered around a statue of shiva the footage appears to have been captured from a high vantage point by somebody outside the complex the ominous clip ends with a woman being sacrificed and a clearly terrified cameraman running from the scene theorists had a field day with this one rumors already existed about strange activities going on at cern and this clip seemed to prove it so were the world’s greatest minds using the hadron collider to summon the antichrist or
to open up a gateway into another realm well something weird was definitely going on there because believe it or not this video genuinely had been filmed at the cern facility in geneva in the site’s main square impact where a statue of shiva stands as a permanent display whoever the people involved were they must have had access passes this gave more weight to the clip’s authenticity but even though the footage had been recorded at cern by people who must have worked there the organization itself said that the video was pure fiction made by prankster scientists
a cern spokeswoman came forward and announced that quote these scenes were filmed on our premises but without official permission or knowledge cern does not condone this type of spoof which can give rise to misunderstandings about the scientific nature of our work every year serm welcomes thousands of scientific users from all over the world and sometimes some of them let their humor go too far this is what happened on this occasion she concluded by saying an internal investigation was taking place to figure out which individuals
were behind the fake footage despite the video being a hoax a fairly large number of people still believe something sinister is going on at cern and that it somehow involves the occult just type in cern ritual onto youtube and take a look at the comment section of any video you’re bound to find some interesting comments hi walter i got a new gf today now we’re getting to the dark stuff hi walter i got a new girlfriend today he’s referring to a video on youtube originally uploaded in 2009 by 2150 studios
the re-upload is currently sitting at 1.5 million views the video starts out normal enough with a young man sitting alone in a room talking to the camera but he’s not addressing his entire audience he’s specifically talking to someone called walter as if this video was uploaded just for him the man explains how he had just met the most amazing girl at the mall that day and describes how he went shopping with her at jc penney’s and a jewelry shop with a voice that’s struggling to hold back excitement the man says that he brought this
goal back to his place i know she hates cameras walter but i’m gonna show you her anyways you ready the video suddenly cuts to a different area of the house we’re now in some dingy basement the man opens a door to reveal a tied up woman cowering in the corner of a small bathroom crying and desperately begging for help the man enters the room and slams the door behind him the woman screams and the video ends abruptly this upload got a lot of people talking a young woman named kayla berg had gone missing at the time the video went live
and some viewers noticed that the girl in the bathroom looked a lot like her fearing that this was more than just a joke several viewers actually contacted the police about the video and the owners of the youtube channel were investigated kayla’s own mother even watched the video and said quote it sounded like her looked like her it gave me chills it appeared as if there had just been a massive development in the case the video started being reported on by the media and the comments section of the video was now filled with outrage
this prompted the owners of the channel to leave this comment on one of their other videos we apologize for any emotional harm caused by highwalter i got a new girlfriend today produced back in 2009 there was no intention of it resembling any real person or event the actors involved wished to extend their sympathies to the mother of kayla berg and sincere apologies for the emotional turmoil it caused so as it turns out this whole video was just an art piece designed to drum up interest in
their youtube channel it had nothing to do with kayla berg and it was just a coincidence that the actress resembled her but imagine seeing this before it was confirmed to be a hoax i mean the guy’s actually a pretty good actor he sells the part and makes you believe that he really is some unhinged nerdy guy who just snapped one day the fact that he’s addressing some guy called walter makes the video appear more personal as well like this was some sort of revenge video but although this video did turn out to be fake and the creators obviously
didn’t intend to cause any harm a lot of people really thought this was real back in the day and it’s extremely unfortunate that kayla berg’s mother was amongst them disturbing movie iceberg rumors the horror cinema iceberg make a a the disturbing movie iceberg has to be one of the most popular charts covered on youtube wendagoon made a very well received video dissecting each of its layers and i highly recommend you check it out if you haven’t already the icebergs exactly what it sounds like a list of horror movies ranging from the entertaining
to the downright outlawed the upper layers are filled with the standard horror flicks we all know and love soar mid-summer that kind of thing with more obscure and obscene entries in the mid tiers but it’s the bottom few layers we’re concerned with in this one some of these titles supposedly contain real life snuff and as wendergoon himself refers to it cheese pizza several of the bug’s inclusions most certainly do show real death that much is true those however are all mixed tapes basically compilations of horrific footage
already available on the clearnet but a snuff movie isn’t just any film with a body in it they have to include footage of a real-life murder taking place on screen the entries on this iceberg that are said to contain real snuff and cheese pizza ah as far as i can tell only rumored to exist they’re apparently only available on the dark web but although you’ll find people discussing their existence on forums a lot of them just seem to be internet urban legends don’t get me wrong real horrible stuff is out there and some of the movies on this iceberg are
very real and very horrible but the rumors that any of them contain anything illegal appear to be baseless malepregnancy.com this is a vaguely creepy website that’s been online since 1999. it details the pregnancy of a mr li mingwei the first human male to be with child the site contains a variety of documentary evidence news reports pictures video clips ekgs ultrasound images and the like even though it presented itself as real the site was simply an art project created by a guy named virgil wong despite obviously being a hoax wong
said he received thousands of emails from men all around the world who wanted to become male mothers chinese baby eating hoax last year a number of photos began making the rounds on social media sites photos like these they were attached to news articles that claimed in china people eat fetuses to improve their health and boost their performance in the bedroom the photos depicted a man seated at a restaurant table eating human baby soup a rare delicacy that apparently costs four thousand dollars u.s in one of the images he’s taking a big bite straight
out of the torso these images sparked outrage online chinese users stepped forward to say that the photos were fake only for them to be lambasted by other users who took the images at face value in reality the claim that people in china eat herbal baby soup is nothing but cod swallow and as for the photos they were actually taken from a performance art exhibition in shanghai that took place in the year 2000 the artist zhu yuu titled this performance eating people and intended for it to be a commentary on human nature and our relationship with the law
the supposed baby was nothing more than a prop and the rumors about there being rampant and socially acceptable cannibalism going on in china were of course nonsense unfortunately these images were intentionally taken out of context by low-brown news publications for the sole purpose of coursing outrage and increasing traffic to their sites even more unfortunately a lot of people blindly accepted these unverified reports and directed a lot of anger at a lot of innocent people the great donor show the grot tonight was a reality tv special that did on dutch tv
back in 2007. the whole program was like a one-off live game show it revolved around a terminally ill 37 year old woman asking questions to 25 contestants all of these contestants were in desperate need of a life-saving kidney transplant you can see where i’m going with this the woman whittled down the contestants until only three of them remained it was then her job to pick a winner the price her kidneys after she died during the completely live broadcast viewers could text him with advice about who the woman
should pick as the winner with all of the proceeds going to the dutch kidney foundation as you can imagine there was outrage before the show even aired and the network received a plethora of complaints during its live broadcast people were incensed at the idea of a show that was literally a game of life and death at the end of the show the presenter revealed that the dying woman was actually an actress that the whole thing had been staged but that the contestants really were in desperate need of kidney transplants
the show was made to raise awareness about the low number of organ donors in the netherlands anger quickly turned to understanding and the day after the special aired 30 000 uniforms were requested by people throughout holland two days later that number was up to fifty thousand in the run-up to the show’s broadcast everyone involved had maintained that the show was genuine laurence drilik the chairman of the television network that ed the show later said it was very hard to keep this a secret and to tell this lie time after time but i did it because of the good
course of all of the hoaxes on this iceberg this one undoubtedly made the biggest positive impact 2016 clown sightings i’m sure we’ll remember the 2016 clown takeover this was a phenomenon that lasted for a few months where there were numerous sightings of people dressed as evil clowns in incongruous places we’re not talking bobo and krusty we’re talking pennywise and twisty most reported sightings were in the usa and uk though other countries like canada and australia were also said to be heavily affected
basically you might be on your way home one night minding your own business when you’d see a group of killer clowns watching you from a tree line or a school playground that’s creepy enough in itself but in some of these reported sightings the clowns actually tormented chased or even attacked innocent bystanders panic gripped the western world people were terrified they might encounter these evil circus performers even staying at home didn’t feel like a safe option with the reports of
clowns randomly going up to houses and tormenting the families inside a large number of people already had a phobia of clowns to begin with but that fear had now spread to the formerly unafraid embassies started issuing warnings about the clown scare clown costumes were being banned left right and center even ronald mcdonald was forced to keep a lower profile and this was a bad time to be a professional clown newspapers began stating that the clowns were planning some type of purge event for halloween no such purge actually occurred on the 31st
but a family in florida were attacked by a group of 20 men wearing clown masks after months of mass clown sightings the general public had had enough they took to the streets with baseball bats and other implements and began actively hunting the clowns down not long after that things seemed to quieten down and as quickly as the phenomenon started it had now disappeared thus ended the great clown panic of 2016.
so despite some people believing that these clowns were really nefarious and trying to lure kids into the woods or what have you in actuality it was just a bunch of youngsters dressing up and trying to scare people i think that much most of us already knew the reason this entry is even on the list and so far down for that matter is because of how few people realize that this was never a widespread occurrence at all because of all the reports we heard in the media about clown sightings
we all naturally assumed there must have been hundreds of incidences the truth is very very few of those reports were ever verified the majority that were investigated turned up no evidence of there ever being any clowns at the supposed location many sightings were proven to be outright fakes and several people were even arrested for falsifying reports websites were simply reporting on big sightings and fake videos for clicks newspapers and tv stations picked up on those reports and began perpetuating the narrative
scaremongering’s a great business tactic now don’t get me wrong there were definitely some isolated cases of people dressing up as these killer clowns but the vast majority began after the media picked up on a non-existent problem and were nowhere near as prevalent as the news would have had us believe so there were clowns roaming around in 2016 that much is true but this wasn’t some organized effort and it didn’t happen to the extent that the news had us believing polybius polybius was allegedly an old arcade game that came out in 1981 and only existed
for about a month it appeared in several arcades exclusively across portland oregon but despite the title never receiving any marketing it proved to be an instant hit with the local gamers those who played it seemed to immediately become addicted lines formed around the other machines with people getting into fights about whose turn was next but those who reached the front of the queue unscathed and actually got to play polybius experienced some unexpected side effects seizures bits of amnesia insomnia night terrors and hallucinations just to name a few
despite making their lives a living hell the gamers couldn’t stop themselves from playing polybius they became almost obsessed with it every so often men dressed in black suits would appear at the arcades and inspect each polybius machine and according to some they were even seen collecting some unknown data from the cabinets not money data these men in black were actually cia operatives tasked with analyzing polybius’s psychoactive effects on its players you see polybius was part of mkultra a real-world us government program that experimented on unaware
and unwilling members of the public in order to develop mind control techniques in 1976 the program was exposed and was subsequently shut down but polybius was said to be evidence of the program’s continuation proof that they were experimenting on players and sending them subliminal messages people caught wind of this and wanted to expose what was happening but just as quickly as the game arrived it disappeared completely overnight every polybius arcade machine was gone never to reappear
in one sense though polybius is alive and well today it’s been included as an easter egg on the simpsons and popular content creators like the angry video game nerd have done deep dives on it this polybius video by ahoy has reached over 6 million views so there’s clearly still a lot of interest in exploring this legend but that’s all polybius ever was a legend the history of arcade machines has been extensively documented since their inception there’s not a single mention of polybius in any trade or consumer magazine the legend itself is
believed to have originated in the year 2000 and was probably dreamt up by a guy named kirk collar to drive traffic to his website mk ultra real polybius not so much that being said fans of the polybius legend have developed a hypnotic video game inspired by the myth designed so that players can experience the old 80s brainwashing game that never really existed apollo 20.
apollo 20 refers to a set of internet videos that supposedly show a hibernating female extraterrestrial the alien in the footage has since come to be known as mona lisa and is said to have been recovered during the classified apollo 20 mission of 1976. the videos appeared online in 2007 a full 31 years after the clandestine mission had actually taken place retired american astronaut william rutledge was the man behind the upload and claimed that he had been the commander of the apollo 20 mission according to rutledge the top-secret mission had been conducted jointly by the u.s and the soviets and his crewmates were astronaut leona snyder and
cosmonaut alexei leonov while on their mission they encountered a disabled spacecraft which they intercepted and boarded inside they found a female humanoid in stasis the alien life form mona lisa in the footage the crew can be seen examining the extraterrestrial and even removing her strange facial covering rutledge said that the crew took her back to earth for study along with some other artifacts they found rutledge who had personally taken the videos and was still in possession of the tapes believed it was time to get the word out
the videos certainly have a realistic quality about them and mona lisa herself certainly appears lifelike but the thing is the apollo 20 mission never actually happened it was scrapped after congress voted to cut nasa’s budget along with apollo missions 18 and 19. now that’s not going to persuade any contrarians in the audience they’ll just say well duh the mission was classified of course they’re going to say it didn’t happen yeah fair enough but the fact is that this footage has already been thoroughly debunked by amateurs and experts alike
the videos make use of footage from previous nasa missions spliced together with new footage that although appearing realistic has been confirmed to be fake the final nail in the apollo 20 coffin is the fact that it was originally uploaded to youtube on april 1st it was all just an elaborate well-executed hoax even so if you go to the comment section of any apollo 20 video on youtube you’ll still find loads of people who genuinely believe the footage is real spongebob brazilian defecation broadcast
so this strange entry purports that there was a lost episode of spongebob squarepants that only ever aired once on tv that one screening was in brazil in 2016 just before the olympics in rio what was strange about this episode was that during one scene squidward was playing his clarinet when he accidentally hits the brown note for those who don’t know the brown note is an infrasonic frequency that when heard causes the listener to take a trip to brown town apparently this episode actually used that specific frequency
and hundreds of people across brazil lost control of their bowels at the exact same moment while watching the show many of them were so heavily affected that they had to be rushed to hospital this had some people speculating that the episode had been intentionally weaponized and was being used to intentionally target brazilians understandably the episode was immediately pulled from the air and never screened again the reason most people never heard about this incident was because it was quickly covered up by the opening ceremony of the olympics
neither the brazilian government nor the spongebob team wanted anyone to hear about what had happened so they quietly swept it under the rug or perhaps more fittingly flushed all the evidence oh away a second what’s that sound oh baton down the hatches everyone because what you’re hearing is the brown note apologies if you just lost control of your bowels but if you did i can assure you that’s just a coincidence and it might be worth getting a checkup that’s because the so-called brown note is only hypothetical and all attempts to demonstrate its existence
using sound waves have failed that’s how we know this spongebob broadcast never actually happened it was all a hoax one that seems to have originated on 4chan still this entry was too funny not to include speaking of which peanut butter and mayonnaise panic when you think about foods that pair well with peanut butter what sort of things spring to mind chocolate sure jam definitely mayonnaise maybe if you’re a psycho but the peanut butter in mayonnaise panic of 1969 doesn’t revolve around people eating either of the food stuff at all
due to a huge misunderstanding in the late 60s big newspapers were all of a sudden reporting that teenagers were injecting themselves with peanut butter and mayonnaise apparently by combining those two ingredients some sort of chemical reaction took place that produced psychedelic effects when inserted straight into the bloodstream according to some news outlets at the time it had something to do with the fat globules headlines were being printed in papers across the entire usa and people genuinely started to believe
that the youth of america were not only being corrupted by the mind-altering substances of pb and mayo but dying from this concoction on mass this concern even reached the highest echelons of government with references to the panic being present in a 1969 senate committee report as well as in richard nixon’s presidential papers yeah this panic really was a big deal now obviously the only trip you’re likely to take if you inject peanut butter and mayonnaise is a trip to the afterlife and there weren’t any medical records of anyone injecting
themselves with pbm mayo so why were the papers reporting that this was such a widespread problem well it all started when two government officials caught wind that students were sharing around a secret underground recipe book this book apparently described various culinary escapes from reality one of the recipes was the pbmail formula the media quickly picked up on their claims and the misinformation spread like wildfire but it was all just hysteria peanut butter and mayo were both slang terms for other substances at the time and maybe the government officials
took that too literally but where this idea of an underground cookbook came from is anyone’s guess dig your roots slash after school special we’ve already touched on the concept of snuff films but just to recap their movies in which a person is genuinely murdered on camera though most films purported to be snuff actually turn out to be fakes there are real authentic movies that show people being killed these films are then sold on the black market usually for large sums of money they’re quite hard
to find because for obvious reasons their creators are only selling to a very specific clientele on very specific hidden platforms but some of them have been leaked and shared around in the past last year a rumor started spreading about a new snap film that had found its way onto the clarinet the original upload on vescor had been titled after school special but people were now referring to it as dig your roots here’s how one viewer described it two adults viciously stabbed two kids to death in a bedroom a third person films the whole thing
the victims look to be about 10 or so i think they’re inside one of the boy’s bedrooms because it looks like a kid’s bedroom there’s a black and white poster on the wall for some country band that features a couple of toddlers and says dig your roots that’s how the video got its name dig your roots is the third studio album by country music duo florida georgia line so inforum conversations about dark internet videos the dig your roots video started being mentioned from time to time most people didn’t claim to have actually seen it but it heard this description from other
users and because it kept getting brought up everyone thought that it really did exist i mean it was certainly conceivable from three guys one hammer to the infamous funky town video snuff does occasionally pop up on certain dark websites dig your roots however doesn’t exist it was all a hoax perpetrated a game by 4chan there was a small thread where people were proposing titles for fake lost media then asking others to come up with concepts based on the name they’d then try and trick non-4chan users into believing that these fake videos were actually
real basically spreading believable lies and rumors to see what would stick from there gullible people would spread the rumors around for them for example one of the titles the eop proposed was channing tatum death footage another user chimed in with his idea about what to spread channing tatum death footage aftermath war footage of some dude that kind of looks like channing tatum his head is mashed so it’s not like you can tell he really looks like him another person in the thread said that this spreading of fake impo really does work and
claimed to have been the person who came up with the despair code a concept that’s been covered by loads of youtubers at this point in amongst all these replies was the idea for dig your roots.mov so yeah thankfully this video doesn’t exist if this whole thread proves anything it’s that we should constantly be questioning what we hear from strangers online hundreds of people may tell you something does or doesn’t exist and they may genuinely believe what they’re telling you is true but if they have bad or perhaps zero evidence to back up their claims they’re most likely just the
victim of disinformation themselves ask questions demand verifiable proof and don’t be like them three orangutans one blender three orangutans one blender refers to a rare online video that few people have ever seen but those who have watched it say it’s one of the most disturbing clips in existence rumors about three orangutans started spreading all the way back in 2008 when youtuber damonico uploaded the first ever reaction video to it in the years that followed many many more reactions to three orangutans were uploaded to youtube
in all of them the reactor appears disgusted by what they’re seeing the same hip-hop music can be heard in the background of each reaction along with the same screaming ape noises suggesting that all of these reactors were watching the same video as for what the footage is actually of the most famous account comes from a guy called roberto martinez he made an extremely long post about the contents of the video so i’ll just give the spark notes version here three orangutans one blender is a real video that can now be found on the dark web
it was published during 2006 but wasn’t found until later here’s what it is so the music makes it sound like it’s okay but the video is horrifying in the video there are these indian or brazilian army men wearing yellowish greenish camouflage they walk into a building and take beaten damaged caged orangutans and brutally cut them up with machetes then begin pouring bleach and what looks like lemon juice all over them before shoving them into this weird machine that is definitely not a blender
it’s this big machine that has blades that spin like a blender but it’s not the machine has no roof but it has a balcony with rails that circle around the top and two steel platforms on both sides above the machine going across to the other side like a bridge whatever it is it brutally slices some of the orangutans into a bloodbath of pieces while leaving some still alive screaming in agony and pain while some of the men are laughing then this fat guy in a yellow camouflage ski mask comes inside the machine and uses a chainsaw to
butcher six of them they take the last three male orangutans and walk them into a cabin-like shelter where there are three tigers waiting they have the tigers slowly eat and rip off the private parts of these orangutans they throw the orangutans on the ground taking turns pouring some lemon juice on them before brutally butchering them while laughing and throwing the pieces of their carcasses back into the machine and slicing it all up the video ends there i think the only reason it’s called three orangutans one blender is because only three of them lost at the end
the video was so gruesome that it became harder to find on the clarinet you can also see that there are human remains inside the machine with the orangutans there are 97 men and 19 orangutans counted in the video some of the men are shirtless showing off their tattoos it’s so messed up you’ll wish those guys were dead also all of the men have a strange symbol on their hats or shoulders the video appears to take place at a camp in the middle of the jungle during the afternoon with trucks sheds and cabins in the background
the original video was three hours long and didn’t have music but the video you’ll find is only one minute and 50 seconds long and has a weird hip-hop beat that covers everything except for the screams of the orangutans and the sound of the machine even though the video was posted in 2006 it has a 70s 80s or 90s quality i’m guessing the real thing took place decades ago anyways you’re welcome but seriously don’t watch it okay so that’s some extremely disturbing imagery but you’ll be happy to hear that
no matter how hard you try you’ll never actually be able to track this video down that’s because three orangutans one blender is a myth just like the baby burger video it’s based off no such clip exists all of the reaction videos to it simply made use of the same beat giving the illusion that the clip actually existed roberto’s account of the video was just him playing along with the hoax too in fact there are plenty of accounts about what this video actually contains and they all say
something different as dark as some of those fake stories are my personal favorite is that it’s just a video of someone preparing a smoothie for three excited orangutans kind of wholesome andreas balminas snuffle this last stop on our tour takes us back to february of 2013. andreas baumines was a latvian man living in the uk police and lancashire received a tip from the russian interior ministry that balminas was in possession of illegal video material this tip turned out to be legit they raided his apartment and found countless messed up videos
from japan russia and various other countries but one of them stood out in particular a 20-minute home movie featuring a blonde girl about 14 years of age this footage disturbed even the most seasoned of offices in the video the girl begged a man who wasn’t balminess for her life the unknown man ignored her police and strangled her with a wire causing her to foam at the mouth and her eyes twirl back into her head it’s the worst thing i’ve seen by a country mile said detective constable edward wenham
in the footage a man in his forties was decorating he had a goatee beard and you could see his face quite clearly the young girl came into the room and asked him for some money it was apparent that the man was either her father or stepfather the man began to shout obscenities then he strangled her after that he laid out a clear plastic sheet and laid the body in it then wrapped it tightly around her it took about three minutes for this my firm belief is that she was definitely killed the judge who sentenced bauminess agreed that while it was difficult to be certain that the girl
had perished on camera she most likely had still there was no evidence that balminas was involved in the making of the video so he only received eight months behind bars for possessing it as well as for possessing numerous other sick material investigators began looking for any clues to the girl’s identity judging by her accent she was american but that’s about the only thing they had to go on other than her face in the face of the man who had killed her they’d hit a wall for 15 months they took no further action they didn’t even send the video
to the ceop or to any u.s agencies to run through their powerful facial recognition software when uk government ministers heard about that they said there had been a massive failure in policing labour mp tom watson said if the view of the judge and police in this case is true then britain’s police have sat on evidence of a child murder for over a year it’s negligent and scandalous that the utmost urgency has not been applied with this case the americans should have immediately been informed and the nca should have picked up the investigation
there was public outrage that so little had been done to id the perp or the victim as a result the video was passed along to the ceop for further inspection okay so this is the part of the breakdown where i confirmed the girl and the man were just actors right well here’s why i’ve saved this entry for last i’ve looked all over but i can’t find any definitive proof online that this was a hoax all of the write-ups and articles i’ve read about this case end there with the video being passed
along to more specialized authorities but there’s no mention of the film being confirmed fake if it was real it seems weird that the killer would happily appear on screen without a mask that’s a big risk then again other confirmed snap films that have come to light there have been killers who have shown their face not to mention every officer who viewed the footage said it was extremely realistic and made them sick to their stomachs i was convinced that this was not acting and that the girl was dead reiterated dc wenham if
she had been play acting when the plastic was wrapped around her face she wouldn’t have been able to keep so still if it was acting it was better than an oscar-winning performance her eyes didn’t blink or move at all so this hoax’s iceberg actually ends on a potentially dark note maybe this was an authentic snuff film after all if so both the girl and the purp remain unidentified and the film that features her final starring role has yet to be leaked on the clarinet sadly with guys like bauminess in this world there’ll always be a market for this sort of thing
i know we’ve talked a lot about hoaxes today but that’s the reality we all live in and that’s it the end of this abridged hoaxes iceberg i hope you enjoyed this special episode and i’d personally like to wish you all a very happy halloween before the video ends i’d also like to thank all of my supporters here on youtube and over on patreon especially my biggest supporters the new ongom 24 lydia glassley thomas the handsome alex greenswall azrael warakai charlie lackey connor lotham crawford k macdonald event horizon
