That last story is fascinating... Now if I assume it to be real it sounds like JVK there does some rather interesting things, which indeed does make me think it would have at the bare minimum a malware like component to it (as it's accessing the pictures' folder, as well as making the "assassin" appear even in the baseline game - So it's definitely doing suspicious things for a game mod.) What it does would be quite easy to start looking into without even playing it (though a playtest would offer far more insight) if one had access to the files that came with the supposed mod (and knew a thing or two about how Morrowind is coded/other code wizardy) it would be possible to open the files up via some sort of coding software that is compatible with them and examine the coding to figure out what exactly it's doing, and what it's changing to lock for example console powers. - Without any actual knowledge I assume this to be a simple case of adding a bit of code where the console is simply disabled by a line of code (Perhaps just a simple case of changing a value from "true" to "false" to make things not work?) that would probably not be too hard to remove and still keep the rest of it working. As for the creepy twist of the person being impacted to the point of hallucinations/disappearing: Could be stress aye; Or they had an underlying mental illness condition that this kind of spooky mystery really did not mingle well with. You never know with folk on the internet, and mental illnesses are quite common as a whole. That is if it ever existed to begin with. As after all: Things that go bump in the night have this strange tendency of sometimes just being stories.
With how odd the Manimals glitch is, I have to wonder if someone at R* didn't intentionally put something in the game to make it happen randomly. Its just such a strange occurrence and Ive never heard of anything else like it in any other game.
12:25 In Red Dead 2 you can find a skeleton of a lady with the head of a Donkey in the epilogue. You can also encounter a man who behaves as a wolf in some of the more northern parts of the map.
i think the story of killswitch had to exist before the book from 2013 though because on a cursory search, just on youtube, there are videos older than 10 years.
The wife is the nuts one, completely unacceptable. Imagine having such a disrespectful vile wife, especially to the point of trying to sell your expensive property. I hope he has since left her and gotten into a legitimate healthy relationship. Shame on her.
Hey everyone, thanks for joining me on this episode of Strange Gaming Stories. Today we take a look at 5 new tales of weird, scary or disturbing tales you WONT want to miss. Be sure to comment below with some things you'd like me to cover in the future!
When you make fake games that are supposedly from 1989, at least make them look like something that matches the style of the console and computer games of that era. This looks like a shitty flash game. The pixels don't have a unified size, the color scheme, while greyscale, has too many tones. And the complexity of that game is on par with mid-90s point and click games. (First Monkey Island still used the verb system with no drag and drop)
I feel like the Air Purifier story is a sign of a toxic relationship. Maybe I am priviledged, maybe I am skewed by my many many years of not having a romantic partner, but I could never stay with a partner that refused to allow me to keep my hobbies. Hobbies and Relationships can coexist.
The wife's behavior is beyond acceptable, especially in trying to sell his console without his permission. She should be ashamed of her self. Imagine having such a toxic and vile wife. I hope he has since left her and gotten into a legitimate healthy relationship.
The Slender Man stabbing is like a H.P Lovecraft's story coming to life. What with the tentacles and causing insanity I can understand someone believing that Slender Man is a Great Old One.
I just watched the ManBearPig Returns episode of South Park last night. It seems to bring it weirdly full-circle that there were so many Red Dead Redemption references in the episode
The Manimals story reminded me of another I remember hearing years ago. About at least one instance, though it's possible there were multiple, of a Meteor streaking through the sky in Red Dead Redemption Online, it being bright enough for anyone online at the time to see it regardless of where they were in the map, and the craters where they impacted are even able to be found. Though they are slightly out of bounds of the map, I think right up to the edge of where you can go before the game respawns you back in bounds. I even remember finding videos of people going to these craters in game and telling the story, about how before those events those craters did not exist in game. And while it's possible someone was recording video of playing online when the event happened and uploaded it somewhere, far as I know no such videos exist. However with Meteorites being a mystery in Red Dead Redemption 2 now. Finding information about Meteors in the first Redemption is becoming more and more difficult to find as results for that game get drowned out by the sequel. I can't even find the old videos I've mentioned any more, instead all I get is "How to find Meteorites in Redemption 2!!!1!!".
I can shed some light on the manimals glitch. I am friends with someone who used to work at Rockstar and he said it was a glitch in the code that would occasionally spawn NPC's as animals. A read/load error to the code if you will. There is a reference to the horse woman in RD2 on a farm you can find the skeleton of a woman attached to a some old farm equipment with the skull of a horse. Rockstar making an in joke at their glitch
@@AtmonTheExectioner im surprised people (and even this youtuber) seem to lack this basic knowledge? Like no s*** it's a coding glitch, i can't believe he called it "unexplained". Imagine calling yourself a gamer and not even knowing what coding does or means. Just seems like he artificially wanted to make the video more exciting which sucks
@@kazumakiryu8231 It was a funny glitch. Stumped the devs for a bit (according to my friend). Not too sure of the technical side of it...but the basic issue was the game would rarely confuse NPC human models with animals because they got lumped in a directory that if certain values lined up would spawn one of these abominations. Even the devs were surprised the A.I. was versatile enough to manipulate human bodies with animal algorithms. That was back when Rockstar gave a 💩. Hence why my friend left recently.
the creepypasta community was overun with awful or creepy people. I was big into it at the time and the thing that made me think about the crap I read was a story about jeff the killer maiming and raping jane the killer. not long after I went back to less cringey things on the internet.
I love crazy gaming stories but never had any myself or had any friends with them. I had a friend who lied about an experience he had on a game but finally admit to it recently since lying about it from a kid haha.
There has never been a real videogame frightening fagioli. Any petrifying pici that involves video games is and always will be shit made by a 14 year old wannabe writer. And, you're right, any video game sold for $700,000+ would make international headlines.
Wrong, there was actually one, and it was ultimately very mundane. It was MARIO. Beat for beat, the story was true: The author found a creepy ROM hack on a forum and played through it. There was a spooky picture in it. ... And that was pretty much it. The creator of the hack came forward and explained why they made it and everything. Nothing supernatural, just someone making horror content and posting it without context.
Wow what absolute BS. That trials ARG was so cool. I truly think that they came up with such a cool beginning to the ARG and had no idea how to end a worldwide search for little boxes in a satisfying way. So just saying “uh, yeah, your kid’s kids will see in 100 years” to shirk the responsibility of actually finishing the damn puzzle
@@PressStartToContinueYT hahaha it just struck me after the disappointment I felt 😂. Awesome coverage of that story by the way! I found your channel pretty recently and I’m enjoying your stuff a lot!
Imo what makes a game's glitches good is how easy they are to find. If the average player can't find it (Fallout 76 failed here) but should be easy to find if you are a glitch hunter who is actively looking. Breath of the Wild is really good at this because it seems polished but if you watch a little UA-cam you can do crazy stuff with ease
god help the man who's in a marriage where he needs to disguise his ps5 as an air purifier to play video games because his wife wont let him buy a console when he presumably works fulltime and is lifting his weight of the finances at least.
I kid you not. After I finished the “Lying is not the Best Policy” part; I got an ad for an air purifier lol. Great video; I like this kind of series!

Bruh disguising a ps5 as an air purifier to hide it from your wife is such a gamer move. Respect to that guy and his 100000000000iq brain.
Imagine having such a disrespectful and vile wife to have to do that. No thanks.
why marry someone you aren't compatible with?

That's gotta be a reference to the infamous Manimals glitch
@@jeiku5041 I think so

The original website that Killswitch was a part of was originally produced in 2007, so it's been around a little longer than 2013
16:29 WHY DID THAT SCARE ME SO BAD!!!!😵💫
hahaha sorry about that
oh gosh I’m scared now….. I’m only 9 minutes into the video rn……..
The dude who said to his wife it's an air purifier is nuts haha. But for real what type of relationship is that. Great video.
Thanks for watching man!
A pure one ;)
@@HandheldGamer1991 haha that's genius it took a minute to get it.

Yeah, an 80s game would never have this many shades of grey

I found your channel thanks to Whang i love your content!
Thanks for checking it out!
Really interesting stories! Great video! Those “manimals” in RDR are so weird!
It’s crazy! Thanks for watching
When that intro music plays I can't help but want to emphatically say "Cyber Peacock!", "Web Spider!", or "Storm Oouwwl!" outloud. 😂
lol, good thing I don't use it anymore :)

The BGM in the Red Dead segment had me wondering if my audio was failing.
Story 1 : Limbo 2 is lookin real nice

Also, it's rude af to knock young writers. Everybody starts somewhere, and nobody benefits from people shitting on young artists.

If those girls really knew slender man lore, they would have know all he wanted was a pie and $20
What music plays after the intro? The piano melody?
Killswitch isn't "fake," it's a short story. It's literally just a story someone wrote, to be a story.
You should have kept watching the video before you rushed to the comment section.
your videos are great i just found your channel and am going back to watch them all
good vidio
yoooooo thanks
