Beware, this comment section is filled with bots.
Wait a minute
This video was only posted “18 minutes ago”, which means you didn’t watch the video fully… take that as you will the people and not boys…
"A predator cannot differentiate prey from accomplice" - I feel like this plays further into the "cosmic horror trope" in the way that Lovecraftian cultists often get destroyed/devoured/consumed in the process of bringing their masters into our world.
I agree. I can’t wait to see how the story plays out.
ngl I feel like the prey and accomplice they are talking about could be the moon
still the same as Matt is saying though
If I'm remembering correctly, more than a few of those cults _knew_ they were doomed, and were working to speed up the return of the various Elder Things in order to spare humanity the suffering of a slow destruction. Sort of a "rip the band-aid off quickly" path to inevitable extinction.
@@TheRogueWolf I love that phrase, 'the Elder Things' lol. Sounds like the walmart house brand of Eldritch deities, for when the name brand stuff's too expensive
this channel is literally the only way i can “watch” scary stuff bc matpats voice doesn’t make it scary
Exactly like I love scary stuff when it's presented not scarily
You should try Wendigoon, he has a nice voice and also much longer videos going more in-depth about scary topics
I never find anything except bugs, heights, and people scary.
It is here, it found me
Matpat makes scary stuff more fun and interesting with his voice
Imagine doing that whole theory, not even once stopping to consider that it just might be Nightmare Moon

Am I the only one who gets tired of “you’re killing the pLaNeT” being the big key to the whole mystery?

Wait, he did?! Dude, that's awesome- it's my favourite creepypasta too lol
Plus, Local 58 is a spinoff of Candle Cove, with Local 58 being the channel Candle Cove aired on.
And the call sign of Local 58 (WCLV) is a reference to Candle Cove, CLV = CandLe coVe.
everytime i see the word Kris i think of the new krissed thing :,D

@@wyalalee6968 I’ve been summoned
Are you still alive?
When I heard “A predator cannot differentiate prey from accomplice”, I immediately thought of classical (read Greco-Roman) mythology. The moon is a huntress and there are stories of that goddess cursing her devotees as well as those who looked on her inappropriately. I’m not as familiar with other mythologies, but suspect that the moon is similarly personified.
Isn't Artemis associated with the moon too?
@@0nullnil, she is. Some stories have her transforming men into prey animals if the men looked at her wrong (i.e. when she was nude) and setting her hounds on the man thus transformed. And I remember one story of a virgin devotee of one of the goddesses associated with the moon being turned into a prey animal and hunted because the young woman lost her virginity to a violator. She wasn’t even at fault.
The moon is not generally associated with kindness or compassion, but with mutability and caprice.
@@dcdowd
Oooohh thanks for the info!
@@dcdowd it was Acteon’s own hounds that killed him; Artemis turned him into a stag.
@@mcdjinn6975 thanks for the reminder. It’s been a minute since I read through the myths

The news 😂
9:51 the “Lookback” could also be a reference to “A Look Back”, another video. Maybe the digital element, the new medium, is being corrupted, hence why there’s a hand reaching down, to dig its claws into new mediums, and new viewers, and that could also explain why there are splices of other video references from the analog days.
Love your commentary!
- Regarding the webpage image with the “extended hand.” It shows the light spectrum. And we know “ITS IN THE LIGHT.” And “WE SEND SIGNALS TO OURSELVES THRU THEIR DOMAIN.” Their domain being certain frequencies?
- I think it’s important to keep in mind that the tv station is still analog, as the digital conversion failed. “THIS STATION WILL NOT BE PARTICIPATING IN DIGITAL CONVERSION AT THIS TIME.” I assume that this is the creator’s answer to how the broadcast continues to be hijacked after the FCC mandated switch to all-Digital broadcasting.
- Is this narrative about
1) humanity vs. some cosmic entity or entities that are associated with the electromagnetic spectrum?
2) two sets of “eldritch” cosmic entities like the Great Old One versus the Elder Gods, with humanity caught in the middle? Whoever they are, "We've always been here” and “I the always here.”
3) a group of people subjected to some nefarious brainwashing experiment?
Lastly, there is that “mining disaster” in 1963. Mining what? And where? In the Show for Children, we see Cadavr walk through an underground tunnel much like a mine. And I don’t think the moon was very happy about it. Maybe it’s a warning to us human parasites to stop exploiting natural resources. IDK
Why is comment so long?

Agreed
@@p.attila9502 are you alright?
I never watched local 58 but its entertaining watching Matpat just talking about it.
bro wtf...
Bots are everywhere my friend, and there definitely not going away
thats honestly me with most of his videos - I always watch every upload whether I've watch the film or not
Check out local58, it's only about 10 short films that don't take long to watch at all.
Am I the only one that looked at the creators post "debunking" his initial alien theories and was like "Wow, what a fucking douche", it was so needlessly dismissive and insulting. Also, when an ARG creator tries so freaking hard to tell you you're wrong it just makes you look even more right.
The only thing that keeps going through my head watching these videos about Local 58 is deja vu for Welcome to Night Vale. It almost feels like the time period before Welcome to Night Vale takes place. Before the community just blindly accepts the weird things that have been occuring as if they're normal, a desensitizing. Instead of just being focused on a couple small towns, like Welcome to Night Vale, this is aimed at the world through the internet. I don't know... that's the path my weird brain chooses to go down the rabbit's hole😅!
Keep up the great work Matpat love the channel!
"beyond a certain point watching is no different from doing"
see that? I totally helped out in this ARG
The moon has Cthulhu living in it. That reminds me, why hasn't Matpat done a theory on Terraria, because there is actual lore to that game with Chtulhu living on the moon.
YESS that game has so much lore! It’s all really mysterious but there seems to be some solution to it
Still waiting
Wait you sure the moonlord live one the moon tho
@@terrasentheterrarian4084 pretty sure, his name literally is moonlord.
@@commanderruv8869 yea but i dont think he lives on the moon tho

Kind of like batman from the arkahm games
"through the window" reminds me of tiptoe through the tulips, which references moonlight, and is unintentionally creepy (in addition, a singer died while performing it, Tiny Tim)
15:32
I think they help the moon knowing they'll get eradicated as well, and those lines aren't from any other than from the members themselves telling other members that "predators doesn't diferencia te from accomplices". Basically sacrificing themselves by helping the moon
The amount of work and ingenuity from both the creator and the fans is astounding!
this poor guy just wanted to compliment the local 58 community
now he is flooded with scams
@@medul8039 It's weird but most of my recent comments across many channels have been hit with spams. I dunno what triggered it.
I don't typically attempt to suggest things here, but I would like to humbly ask that you look into the Mandela Catalogue. It's another analogue horror channel not dissimilar to this one, but it has its on style and brand of horror that is both decently unique and deeply unsettling. It has a few episodes already with some codes to decipher and a decent basis of information to theorize off of. Thanks for taking the time to read!
The creator of said series commented on this very video, funnily enough.
It’s shown in the beginning of the vid
He probably knows what it is since it’s in this video
Yes!! We gotta get this comment to blow up, cuz this series is definitely worth a theory video
I hope so
I love you're theories. They make me look at the digital world a LOT differently.
I love how he said "gasses or souls or something 😒"
I loved that this ARG used so many different forms of media to deliver it's story... It's sounds incredibly difficult to write and produce...
A lot of args do that
They Even Use Dialup Infact, Or Whatever Either Old Modems Used (data through audio] And What Fax Machines Currently Use
Luckily for this other universe's eminem, the FCG still works as a rhyme.
"Now the FCG won't let me be, or let me be me, so let me see, they tried to shut me down on MTV, but it feels so empty without me"
Yup, it all checks out.

"there are other receivers" probably means that there are other people feeling this power communicating with them. Sort of like "you can unite" message
How does it feel having your reply filled with nothing but bots?
@@joshlegacy1101 UA-cam as usual
ua-cam.com/video/vQDKojTLZys/v-deo.html
I like that interpretation a lot. So you think it means "unite, so you can save yourselves"? Or what do you think the narrative is there?
@@Shrooblord my assumption is that the forces communicating through the local 58 are not the villain of the story, but something sending a cry for help or a warning. I mean, local TV might be the only way it can do it, seeing how it goes unnoticed by everyone
I would love to see a creator make a cryptic story that genuinely has no connecting plot and for MatPat create a theory synthesising a plot
Similar to how it was once a theory that Scott Cawthon didn’t actually have a story for the first four FNaF games and MatPat was “making it up”
That's Zelda whole timeline in a nutsell.
They were forced by the fans to make one, but Nintendo has always said that the "official timeline" was just made up to answer the fans craving for it. And I just love that, we have their timeline to guide us -as long as we want to-, but we still can theorize and modify it, or even making a whole new one.
@Kayvee exactly, he made an entertaining game and that started to create cash grabs. Now he puts in random stuff so it’s looks like there’s a story but really there’s nothing
@Kayvee None of that is true. Scott is not a perfect writer, but nobody is. Fnaf also has the most important quality of a successful franchise. It leaves people wanting more.
@iamnooneokay
I knew it!!!
I have my own little theory behind this: what if the "being in the moon" is the norse giant, ymir. Because if you think of the moons origin, it came from a large chunk of the earth and got caught in its magnetic field. Then, look at the earths origin: it came from the corpse of ymir, but maybe he never died. Maybe, ymir is angry, calling us parasites, as in a virus to him, and one he must eradicate. Furthermore, maybe the hand isn't a hand at all. It's the roots of yggdrasil, the world tree, and how the colours are segmented. And, the reason he is speaking through the moon is because its just another part of him, and he has been lying dormant for millenia, and now he is ready to take back what is his. I may be wrong, but I think this is interesting.
Edit: words
When you first mentioned Ymir, I thought of aot

“No stars above us, only eyes waiting to open” might refer to the time it takes for information to travel through space. For example, if a message is sent from earth to the nearest star it would take around 4 years for it to receive it, or in other words to open it’s eyes. Since our messages has been transmitting for many years, it is only a matter of time before the other stars and whatever resides within them to receive signals from earth.
I love this idea. Really smart.

Wouldn't it only take like 8 minutes because the sun is the nearest star? I get what you mean though.

Total guess here, but wanted to throw it out there.
About that stretched out image on the website, is it possible to overlap each colored part to reveal a complete image divided between them? No idea what tools would be involved in that, I just find it interesting that three of the four colors used are the primary colors in the light spectrum, while the main technology used to deliver these messages relies on variations of those three colors presented on a screen. If that hunch is right, you may also consider the overabundance of red in the image to be connected to the color spectrum values necessary to solve that clue.
That is a really good idea.

Appreciate the ddlc reference where matpat used Natsuki's realistic jumps are mouth for the moon
I’m so glad local 58 is back. it introduced me to analog horror and args :) (which I’m obsessed with now)
The idea of the moon being some kind of cosmic entity is made even more believable when you realize there’s a movie coming out next year called Moonfall that happens to be about a “mysterious force” knocking the moon out of orbit into a collision course with Earth only for astronauts to find out the moon isn’t what we thought it was.
That’s what I thought too. And if it weren’t for the fact that we know who the creator is, I’d assume that Local 58 was created by the same idiots in marketing that made the viral campaign for 2012. (Long story short, they released the movie in 2008 and people thought the campaign was actually a government program designed to save humanity from the [fictional] doomsday event in 2012 and crapped their collective pants. Think Orson Welles’ War of the Worlds for the modern day.) Ironically, the campaign kinda worked, as anyone who went and saw that dud also fell for the marketing.
P.S. 2012 and Moonfall have the same director, so my hopes for the latter being good are virtually nonexistent.
@@xanderfloyd2656 you don’t use parentheses to just create run-on sentences😂
how is the idea of the moon being a cosmic entity at all believable just because of a fictional movie
oh wait you were talking about in the Local 58 universe
1 of One Punch Mans chapters this year had 'God' living on the moon.
Lol I just saw a preview of that today
I actually felt like (considering the idea that the moon has some kind of consciousness) the "beyond a certain point watching is no different from doing" as if it was a message for itself. Instead of warning the people that are just watching, it is more like a "I can't keep watching anymore, I have to do something against the parasites" kind of message.
One of the lines in the code is "what you need is no longer here" it seems like we need to go back with the wayback machine
Nah bro it's a moth
When MatPat said that "What if the Earth is also one of these cosmic entities?" I immediately thought of Unicron from the Michael Bay Transformers Movies,since in those films Unicron IS the Earth (Or at least he is and/or lives in the Earth's Core).
To be fair, transformers prime did that before the bay films........

@@misslockwood6530 Transformers could totally work as a cosmic horror story. When you think about it, it would make much more sense for these beings who have lived for millions, sometimes even billions of years, to think of humans like ants rather than to make friends with and defend them.

Another clout chaser who faked their Verified status.
4:08 Local 58's callsign however, was WCLV-TV TV being full power analog and DT being digital, it gets the DT suffix after the transition, The deadline that kept getting pushed if I recall correctly was for Class A low power analog stations (those with a suffix of CA) and Low Power stations (and basically, all the other analog stations that were excluded from the full power deadline). Full power stations had to shutdown by June 12th 2009. Either local 58 somehow managed to keep getting exemptions from the FCG and or other government agencies or Local 58's universe is slightly different from ours with event timings (or how events play out).
The amount of Easter eggs throughout the series and just this episode alone is absolutely mind-boggling. Here I am feeling my oats after completing a medium difficulty crossword puzzle..
Plot twist: local 58 was actually a really REALLY drawn out teaser for the 2021 marvel studio movie Eternals
The idea that the moon is home to a celestial being like Cthulhu would fit in with the imagery of people dying and going crazy upon looking at the moon. Remember Birdbox, where Mat concluded that the monster was indeed Cthulhu?
He didn't
He didn't say it was specifically Cthulhu, but I believe he said it was an original lovecraftian type monster like that.
Im pretty sure he said it was lovecraftian jesus
He knows to much
He's going to ruin our plan
Hey it's a moon worshipper
I watched the first Local58 a long time ago, and I was young enough to think it was real and be scared for my life. I clicked this video thinking “yay more nightmares” and the second sentence has “ARG” in it. 9-10 year old me feels betrayed.
Matpat should do a theory on the Mandela Catalog. The story is kinda weird.
Check out Wendigoons video on it
An intruder
Yes
He should! I really liked Wendigoon's video on it, and I think Matpat would like it too :D

So basically, Mat was wrong and the Local 58 story is actually about Moon Lord and the Lunatic Cultists from Terraria.

5:57 the moon communicating to us, which means its a megastructure, therefore this guy predicted moonfall
Ever since I say "Skywatching", it made me think of the Dead Space Brethren moon, minus the tentacles. Especially the way it looked like it was breathing, taking in the dust around it. There's certainly a horror aspect to something so massive being alive. From what we know of living creatures, a big animal needs a lot of food.
So what sustains a Moon-sized Eldritch Abomination? What provides enough energy to keep it alive?
But I digress. That organic webbing, all those sinews... but isn't it odd that there's a section of the moon with what resembles a city, and an arrow-like structure? As if to direct those who look at it into a certain spot? I wonder what one would see, if you moved your telescope towards where the arrow pointed.
Also speaking of Eldritch-sized planet, wasn't there a story from Japanese horror artist Junji Ito about them discovering a planet, and the moment they noticed it, it noticed them and began closing in on the Earth to consume it? Just food for thought.
Junji Ito is just the master of creating nightmares lol
There is and I forget it’s name, you might have even looked it up by now.
@@thespacemarine247 I think it's Remina (edit: yes it's Remina
It would be funny if it all just ends up being an elaborate, unofficial/fan-made ad for Terraria. The final boss of Terraria is an edridge god (specifically Chthulu) named "The Moon Lord".
The Moon in Local 58 and the Moon Lord likely have similar goals
Officially the moon lord is Cthulhu's brother, not Cthulhu himself but i still love this idea of local 58 being a terraria ad.

Just a thought: The phrase at 11:58 " Before the gilded doorsill of our *master's* silent house... we lift our mortal eyes ... and fix them thereupon an empty throne" Is in reference to the moon. But what if it isn't? What if it's actually about the sun? One of the lines used is "the *gilded* doorsill" as in golden like the rays of the sun and doorsill as in frame like a picture frame used to make prized possessions or images meaningfully important. Also, it is true that moonrays are just reflected rays that come from the sun. What if the moon is the "silent house" of the sun? and the "empty throne could be our television screens. If so this phrase could mean something like "in front of the most prized possession of the sun we humans instead choose to place our eyes on something not graced by the sun but rather something without any holiness to it; an empty throne, if you will"
But yeah, just a thought.
Local 58' intro gives me nostalgia, it always makes me think of my papa
I definitely feel like this is about how destructive humans are and how we're only killing ourselves by doing what we're doing. And if we don't stop to try and fix it it'll just be our downfall into extinction since we're already well on our way there
Yea but the problem is that the people and Organization who can really help fix things
Are ethier fighting eachother or not helping out as much as they can
That includes the UN who monitor things
But aren't shifting enough weight around to deal with EXTREMELY pollution heavy countries, and I'm not taking just the US (I don't have a cult style hate for it like some people)
The CCP and India's Goverment are also producing a lot of pollution
As are companies who refuse to change to Nuclear Power and other Clean sources all because it would lower their profits temporarily
Completely agree. “A predator cannot differentiate prey from accomplice” - when climate change kills, it doesn’t care who helped and who hindered. It just kills.
I'm pretty sure it's more about the giant bird monster in the moon.
@@ajknight8640 that is just how natural disasters work except this time its a man made one
yeah...
YAY I really enjoy these scary theories, especially when it’s based on UA-cam channels!!

Bots are attacking with dangerous links!!
If you like these types of videos you should check out “thetekkitrealm youtube unsolved” apart from the drama surrounding him, he’s pretty good
This type of content is named arg, there multiples channels about this, like inside a mind, wendigoon, and etc
I think he should do Monument Mythos, it seems right up his alley with this!
I was rewatching all game theory eps and the moon transitions were just 👌
Hold on, there isn't necessarily two people talking in that last message before the broadcasting switch Matpat. "I the one you watch" and "We will speak for him" are both in first person.
The use of "we" and "our" makes this text first person because it shows that the narrator is the one speaking and actively participating in the narrative. The initial sentences "Unthinking they move to cut his throat only to make a thousand mouths." could be in third person on its own, but it's revealed to be first person as soon as the next sentence says "If he is silenced, we will speak for him." Characters can talk about other people like in the first sentence while still being in the first person point of view. Third person happens when the narrator is omniscient, talking about characters in a story while being entirely uninvolved in the story itself. An example of the sentence in third person would be: "If he is silenced, others will come to speak for him."
I'm an education student learning to teach language arts, I just taught a lesson on this, so I'm real proud of myself for catching that :)
I think what Matpat means is that it switches from first person to third person in regard to the entity not that the whole thing switches from first to third. The implication being that the first part is the entity speaking for itself and the other message is another group (the TRI if this theory turns out to be true lol) speaking for/about the entity. The second part has to be a different person from the first part because who would be the "him" they are referring to if it's not the "one you watch" then
This just makes me want theories on Harmony & Horror by Battington even more. That UA-camr is great and there's definitely a lot of material in that series
The bots are strong with you
1:40 almost made me laugh
I watched all the videos at 1am. Couldn’t have regretted it more.
"Oops my anarchy symbol."
Good God this is great

me when my extended family comes over and I have to hide all my stuff
I absolutely love this eldritch horror they reframed these episodes into
No, stop
4:08 I know it's probs a coincidence, but the change is said to happen on my birthday, and that makes me feel special, even if it is a coincidence.
Absolutely terrified of this series because I frequently had night mares as a child about the moon speaking to me and trying to eat me 😅
"I recycle, i walk to work"
"Watching is no different from doing"
"im blind"
Lol
Mat pat, if your reading this, you really have gotten me through some hard times, and I love your videos.I have been here since the beginning ish and have watched your channel on multiple accounts. Keep it up!
Good luck! I hope he sees this!
(But not the bot. The bot can eat FOOD)
I hope you get to the top
Not the bot tho, he can go do the victory position
To be honest fam, I have had the same experience from MatPat.
i haven’t been keeping up with my youtube args so when mat said local58 was updated i absolutely freaked out
Boy to just watch the last Uploads of that channel really kicks me arose the face with the creativity of analog style art
If the moon is a “throne” of the being leaving us the messages. And other celestial bodies are “thrones” to larger beings. Then maybe, the alien theory isn’t that far off. Maybe, the moon and the earth are both “thrones” but the earth is our “throne”, we are the beings of earth, which would make me think that the moon has its own race.
Amazing finial

Reminded me of one of Aesop's Fables: The trumpeter taken prisoner - the moral is "Those who aid are as guilty as those who do evil"
fun fact: the man that made channel 58 also made the creppypasta candle cove that also is said to be a show on channel 58
