Stevean2 not entirely. And I’m not spreading misinformation. I’m merely giving a simple example of an exe. Yes there are exe’s that can be harmful. I’m the sample I gave, I was explaining how an exe works from a trusted source, not an exe that you download from a untrusted website / dark web. I’ve had my encounters with harmful exe’s, you just need to know what you’re doing and not going on the internet downloading here and there. Like I said, there was no misinformation spread.
@Stevean2 permanent viruses? Lol no virus can be permanent, could you lose your files? Yes, but you can reinstall the OS or swap out the hard drive and boom virus gone
I'm always scare that one of these days there will be an "arg" that isn't an arg, and it entirely real and disturbing and criminal. The whole concept of args always freak me out for this exact reason, it could (almost) always be real.
Not really an ARG, but I'm pretty sure the whole Kate Yup situation is something deeply disturbing, literally a few days ago some kind of Fundraiser was up on her community page when the last time she has uploaded was 2 years ago.
Maybe it's just that most applause sounds like a bunch of screaming and noise, and the UA-cam auto-captioning bot just associated it with that, with the static and the screaming. _It's not that deep_
Despite everything happening, the tru horror lies in her plugging in a hard drive to her computer that she received in the mail without doing a virus scan on it first.
@@aaronmicalowe It's hard to argue against this, since it's all fake anyway lol but you can usually tell if a file is a video or not without having to really look into it.
@@skathryn7380 Yes, by the filesize and extension, and perhaps filename, but in this case they knew the mystery USB drive had a video on it before plugging it in for the first time.
Actually when you watch all the videos, they talk about how they are going to use her friends old computer because they don't know what's on it, so it was something talked about
Nexpo, the reason you’re so good is because you instantly admit it’s an ARG, most other horror youtubers would try to sell it to us like it was all real and then start spouting off about aliens. You keep a voice of reason and treat your audience like adults.
@@FRMTVJWITHLOVE It's an alternate reality game, it's used oftentimes for marketing for movies and stuff, basically it's a game that is a puzzle in real life played across many different forms of media.. The games are usually a mystery, and the goal is to solve the mystery by following the clues provided by the game master. A lot of times the games include mysterious websites, videos, and even clues you have to find physically in a certain location in real life. The stories are fictional of course but set up like they're real to create an immersive experience. The player's job is to do detective work across the web of clues scattered on the internet to solve the mystery and "win" the game
I didn't know till the very end when I scrolled through the comments. Ignorance on what ARG is through this video made it much more interesting experience. Probably would of skipped it if I knew this was all made up.

S*H Sound Craft that’s exactly what i’ve been thinking. it’s clearly fake yet very well put together. a lot of thought and effort has been put into this, and it’s great and very entertaining. i got so invested lmao
Kidnapped in Australia where authority cunts will never discover where the fuck they are and for a horticult member to gain rank by killing for his first time is their bid. The symbol of aboriginals is cannibalistic so no one who searched realised the SoS given or put puzzle pieces together ever made it to a conclusion. No manhunt began and they probably killed her and he friend.
You don't have to worry about a budget for props and salaries if you use only cheep and free stuff and you and maybe a few friends are the actors, crew, etc.
Of course because it's made to be shown as real. Like the Blair witch when it first came out, everyone thought it was the scariest thing. This is the modern day Blair witch.
honestly, I've been watching a few of your shows to get my dose of horror adrenaline...but unlike everyone else, you manage to end or wrap up all of your works in a way that leaves me still in reality, and calm. I really appreciate that, as someone who likes to indulge in this sort of horror but has anxiety disorder. Thank you for being such a great story host, I love watching these and everyone else leaves me feeling paranoid as all get out. You bring just the right amount of paranoia, but leaves me able to continue on throughout the day without needing to sleep with the light on. Keep up the great work!
If I had a bullet for everytime I've seen that glitch effect in a horror video, I'd have enough bullets to storm Normandy Beach with only one magazine.

Babysitting alone at night, kids are in bed and I'm sitting in the basement waiting for some laundry while I decide to start watching this video so now I'm thinking I'm gonna just forget the laundry for now and run up the stairs before my life becomes a horror movie lol

It would probably be discovered pretty quickly. Like, if a person has actually gone missing and they start posting vlogs, I imagine the police would a) have the videos removed immediately and b) be able to mine some information from the posting data. That said, there are a number of (less violent or nonviolent) internet conspiracies that are hotly debated whether they are ARGs or real conspiracies, so it's possible people are already doing it.
Abigail I’m not going to go into it, but there are 100% ways that people go missing, and people wouldn’t care. Killers are a lot smarter than people realize.
Ash AKA Lauren Koopowitz is heavy into occult! She is practicing how to sacrifice to elevate herself into higher degree....freemasonry and blood sacrifice is nothing new for the occult! Australia is at the highest level of freemasonry!
"Lauren Koopowitz is an actress, known for Ash Vlogs vs Swurve (2018), Rabbit (2017) and Boys in the Trees (2016)." - IMDB well done. well done indeed.
In the Face reveal video you can also see the "brother" on the subway after he was stabbed.. his orange jacket stands out at the far end of the car and he knowingly makes eye contact with the cameraman like an amateur LOL.
@@joshusho9252 You wouldn't have the chance anyways lmao. Quit being a coomer and try to go for girls you actually know irl theres no point in pining after girls on the internet brother.
Imagine genuinely enjoying this channel's content and what it offers and then finding out that it was one of the most popular internet mysteries in history
Yea even without that and the ARG warning at the beginning of this video this all screamed fake. Clearly a lot of dedication, effort and time was put into it though and I'm impressed by that. I hope she and everyone else involved have successful careers.
I read this before reaching the end. dammit I was getting close to spooking myself. But either way good job. Do you know of any spooks that arent as easily debunked?
I am assuming she is Australian because of her accent and the Australian post label on the box that car guy sent to her. But where exactly in Australia is she?
SA Adelaide know all the roads there and even the park she went to. In the car guy video when he is driving the road he is on is the south eastern freeway
I really liked it when you reduced the sound to protect our ears. Greatly appreciate it bud Edit: holy shit! This is the most number of likes i have ever got. Thanks ppl.
Honestly just the concept of having a stalker and kidnapping is an actual fear it makes me nauseous to think about and this whole thing adds on to it because of how well the acting is
@Kyal Tate it means Alternate Reality Game. They are like puzzles and shit for people to figure out and usually lean to the horror or creepy side of entertainment. The newest one I can think of is called “I Am Sophie”. It’s pretty weird.
wouldn't it be cool if netflix gave Nexpo a series and every season was a different mystery. Then Nexpo could actually cover every single thing in an arg
i swear the image/ distorted video with the sound of a woman screaming is a clip from the film 'megan is missing' and its the scene where both girls have been kidnapped and taken into the mans torture dungeon and the blue thing is the barrel megans rotting corpse is in
it’s called an ARG, it’s whole purpose is to get your attention. the people who participate are part of a dedicated community of people who do just this on a regular. it’s far more than “clickbait”, friend.
Imagine having enough friends to do an arg like this Actually let me correct myself imagine having any friends Edit: im tempted to delete this comment now
I'm pretty sure it's called Face Reveal because as seen in the previous videos, Ash's brother had his face censored, so it was probably Car Guy sick joke because he was revealing the brothers face
39:10 that's literally Ash's ashes because in the beginning the reddit account said "She's in the floor", which can also be interpreted as "She's in the ground", and she was burned. Therefore, Ash's ashes are literally in the floor.
The most recent 7 hour video, which I’m pretty sure is gonna be the final one, makes it fairly clear it’s a group of deranged guys running a snuff film operation on the dark web, whose followers are called Drips. The dedication to this ARG is truly nuts. Skin crawling stuff
this is isanely detailed. I always do find the stories of "red rooms" and "snuff films" on the dark web kind of interesting since snuff films do existing on the darkweb but they're less "serial killer footage" or "ritual sacrifice" and more like what you'd see on gore and shock sites from 10-20 years ago. "red rooms" have so far proven to largely be a myth or even many cases scams, sort of like dark web hitmen.
i have anxiety but yet you do this stuff in a way that doesn't make me scared, thanks for letting me get a little scare without being scared for my life
You just got to stop, breathe and remind yourself its an ARG. These are one of the more tame examples, you should watch "the human pet" the creator had multiple attempts because everyone thought it was legit and the videos got taken down and most likely reported to police. The whole dog food and dirty pond water bits at the beginning give you goosebumps.
Yes please. I’ve never even heard of this channel and I search it and the channel is uploading like 4-5 videos PER DAY and they’re all cryptic fucked up short videos with super weird channels
this is the first time im hearing about an arg, before looking up what it was i was so confused as to why he was so calm talking about a possible murder LOL
This is sick. I've been into youtube for so many years now and I've been into your channel for only 2 days and I can say I finally found the right channel for me. I always knew that every episode is not a bore. GReat!
@@star0025 I wanted to go back to 2013 for a moment so I searched for old creepypastas like red mist and Mickey in hell. Then I found this and now I addict
Theres an IMDB link for this ARG and the Ash girl is actually a film maker who won awards for her other short films. Very well done. Lauren Koopowitz is the girl who plays Ash, and I believe they are making an actual movie about it, not just the ARG
@@mattisemo6881 its overdone. Just like when texas chainsaw remake came out and had that eerie ass sound like a creaky door being opened. Then lots of horror movies followed suit. It takes away from the story for me.
It does give it away, but it’s done with a purpose. It gets you to go to the description to find the link which is the starting point of the ARG. Honestly the glitches really don’t give anything away if you look at the series as a whole. All it really tells you is that there’s something odd going on.
I think you did the BEST job at explaining all of the Ashvlogs incident because some people focus way too much on the RackaRacka situation and some way too much on just the Ashvlogs incident and completely disregard the RackaRacka situation which was what brought the Ashvlogs channel to light (where all the real weirs and creepy stuff happend).
@@greefo I never said it was real. I was just stating that Nexpo did a really good job at explaining the whole story because some people leave a lot of stuff out and don't make connections with other videos such as the Kate videos.
If this is truly an ARG, it’s an incredibly well done ARG. I felt truly unnerved, confused and scared while watching this video. It branches out to everything incredibly well, and it honestly is a situation that could definitely happen in real life. It’s so freaky.
It’s definitely an ARG, but it’s extremely well done. If you want to see the full breakdown of events there’s a TON more to it. I suggest searching for Loeybug’s Ash Vlogs series. She does a really great job at explaining the timeline cohesively as a whole. Though it does get confusing at times things start to make more sense once you go further.
I dunno, after the first three minutes I was like, ok this is fake because all the things where just too much. Too much trying to be weird, too much edits, too much acting, trying too hard to be mysterious. I've seen enough real cases.
Did you happen to notice the book propped up on the table next to her in the first video? "The Art of Spirited Away." Spirited Away is a popular Japanese Anime about a girl that gets trapped in a town inhabited by demons and such while her parents have been turned into pigs. Don't know if it has anything to do with the videos, but you never know.
Did no one realize that "c2f" means claim to fame? "Claim 2 fame" Also, on the video from inside the car, did y'all notice the headlights flashing? Morse code, maybe?
I was obbessed with this series until it just got out of hand. Started leading me down to some really creepy shit and I felt like I was being watched because I was learning to much 😂 it was extremely well done!
Really wanted to see your thoughts and opinions on this series and i'm glad it's come to fruition ! Also the longer length videos are really appreciated, keep up the amazing work Nexpo, Thank you for what you do ! I just started watching but this will be a good one !
Word of caution. Dont watch this at midnight. It is much more terrifying with your surroundings being pitch black. With the only sound being a woman screaming and the only light is a pure red screen.
The Ash Vlogs Arg is somehow very scary in a irl situation. As on the surface, everything is fine and you the viewer have to put an effort to look more into it. Its very well made
I'm already pretty fully aware of it thanks to Reignbot's videos, but I can't pass up a chance to hear more of Nightmare Expo's voice. That disembodied voice is like an audible back massage.
She seemed so nice and wholesome though, and obviously has a cool taste in music based on the posters on the wall behind her. If this were a normal vlog channel, I'd probably still watch it and I don't even like vlogs.
Yeah, her videos seemed so good that the quality made me question, a little bit, if this whole thing was truly fake. (It is fake, and there are a few plot details that don't make much sense)
26:40 Opening an executable file from a suspicious hard drive without any protection is literally the stupidest thing you can do in that situation lmao
@ Or maybe because it's very easy to not know what "ARG" means and just ignore one sentence at the start of a 42min video you don't understand the subject of. When he said "note that this is an ARG", I had to go on Google to find out what it meant. If I was tired or not paying attention, I could have easily skipped that.

@@Obiika You don't have to know what computer animation is to know that Toy Story isn't real.

Something I just discovered... "Ash" in AshVlogs is an actress by the name of Lauren Ashley Koopowitz.This ARG is even credited on her IMDb!
Yea even without that and the ARG warning at the beginning of this video this all screamed fake. Clearly a lot of dedication, effort and time was put into it though and I'm impressed by that. I hope she and everyone else involved have successful careers.
I read this before reaching the end. dammit I was getting close to spooking myself. But either way good job. Do you know of any spooks that arent as easily debunked?

The freakiest part about the her outdoor vlogs is that I live only about a minute or two away from them.
I am assuming she is Australian because of her accent and the Australian post label on the box that car guy sent to her. But where exactly in Australia is she?
SA Adelaide know all the roads there and even the park she went to. In the car guy video when he is driving the road he is on is the south eastern freeway
That's crazy

As someone who didn’t know what ARG was prior to watching this video I was genuinely concerned lol
Honestly same here
Agreed.
I still don't and I'm freaking out
@Kyal Tate it means Alternate Reality Game. They are like puzzles and shit for people to figure out and usually lean to the horror or creepy side of entertainment. The newest one I can think of is called “I Am Sophie”. It’s pretty weird.
I didn’t know what an arg was when I saw the sun vanished, so I was actually worried but now I absolutely love them
wouldn't it be cool if netflix gave Nexpo a series and every season was a different mystery. Then Nexpo could actually cover every single thing in an arg

TBH I cannot. But I do have a camera and have a degree for audio/video, but having 3 of me in frame at once just doesn't have the same effect.
Friends? What is this? All I have is coworkers

idk why but ive always wanted to run an arg that would put you in the pov of a random online dude finding a serial killer over tinder
idk its very basic tho
I'm pretty sure it's called Face Reveal because as seen in the previous videos, Ash's brother had his face censored, so it was probably Car Guy sick joke because he was revealing the brothers face

39:10 that's literally Ash's ashes because in the beginning the reddit account said "She's in the floor", which can also be interpreted as "She's in the ground", and she was burned. Therefore, Ash's ashes are literally in the floor.

The most recent 7 hour video, which I’m pretty sure is gonna be the final one, makes it fairly clear it’s a group of deranged guys running a snuff film operation on the dark web, whose followers are called Drips. The dedication to this ARG is truly nuts. Skin crawling stuff
this is isanely detailed. I always do find the stories of "red rooms" and "snuff films" on the dark web kind of interesting since snuff films do existing on the darkweb but they're less "serial killer footage" or "ritual sacrifice" and more like what you'd see on gore and shock sites from 10-20 years ago. "red rooms" have so far proven to largely be a myth or even many cases scams, sort of like dark web hitmen.

You just got to stop, breathe and remind yourself its an ARG. These are one of the more tame examples, you should watch "the human pet" the creator had multiple attempts because everyone thought it was legit and the videos got taken down and most likely reported to police. The whole dog food and dirty pond water bits at the beginning give you goosebumps.

And ended up here watching ash vlogs story
@@star0025 I wanted to go back to 2013 for a moment so I searched for old creepypastas like red mist and Mickey in hell. Then I found this and now I addict
Theres an IMDB link for this ARG and the Ash girl is actually a film maker who won awards for her other short films. Very well done. Lauren Koopowitz is the girl who plays Ash, and I believe they are making an actual movie about it, not just the ARG
The stupid camera glitch effects always give it away...
Smh.
Karus. In this case I feel like it sells it more, it’s not a stupid whole video glitch type thing, it’s really well put together
@@mattisemo6881 its overdone. Just like when texas chainsaw remake came out and had that eerie ass sound like a creaky door being opened. Then lots of horror movies followed suit. It takes away from the story for me.
If you watch the original videos, turn the subtitles on. The glitches are to block out the person recordings voice. Try it. :)
Yeah like they ever happen naturally anymore.
Another thing is they got footage they shouldnt have like security cams
It does give it away, but it’s done with a purpose. It gets you to go to the description to find the link which is the starting point of the ARG. Honestly the glitches really don’t give anything away if you look at the series as a whole. All it really tells you is that there’s something odd going on.
I think you did the BEST job at explaining all of the Ashvlogs incident because some people focus way too much on the RackaRacka situation and some way too much on just the Ashvlogs incident and completely disregard the RackaRacka situation which was what brought the Ashvlogs channel to light (where all the real weirs and creepy stuff happend).
This was their collab.... It is fake. Nothing happened.
@@greefo I never said it was real. I was just stating that Nexpo did a really good job at explaining the whole story because some people leave a lot of stuff out and don't make connections with other videos such as the Kate videos.

Looks very much like acting and fake videos with half assed funny edits etc. xD The story is also too "good" to be real

Also me: I want more of this!
Is it just me who hasn’t seen this before?
guilty
I live around adelaide near Kuitpo forest and I didn’t even know lol
i only knew about this becuase i got ramdomly recommened the RackaRacka vid about all this
I haven't seen this before...
No I haven't seen it before either.
If this is truly an ARG, it’s an incredibly well done ARG. I felt truly unnerved, confused and scared while watching this video. It branches out to everything incredibly well, and it honestly is a situation that could definitely happen in real life. It’s so freaky.
Yes, generic cults do actually upload the YT videos of some vlogger for no reason.
it really does seem real! the acting is stellar honestly props to the whole team behind this
It’s definitely an ARG, but it’s extremely well done. If you want to see the full breakdown of events there’s a TON more to it. I suggest searching for Loeybug’s Ash Vlogs series. She does a really great job at explaining the timeline cohesively as a whole. Though it does get confusing at times things start to make more sense once you go further.
"The human pet" is another great ARG. You know its fake yet its that well done you cant help but feel uneasy.

@@Obiika You don't have to know what computer animation is to know that Toy Story isn't real.
T D I guess that's true but you do need to know what an ARG is to understand that this is not real, not sure what you meant
@ ??? That argument is just so flawed. You're comparing telling 3D models from real things without prior knowledge of computer animation to something that's meant to look real. If common sense were to be such a strong thing, then fake news wouldn't spread out as much as they do and the whole idea of pranking, something I bet you too have fallen for in the past wouldn't exist either. I can guarantee you if this was to be documented and posted out there as a real story then more than just "children and socially handicapped" people would believe it to be true, too.
