dude it really sucks you made a video about schoolboy 9, i was apart of the investigation into him and we would’ve been willing to give you info if you’d just wait. There’s a police investigation going on and we didn’t want this public for fear of him finding out and purging all his info. We kept all our info private and all we asked is that you wait till the investigation to finish.
hey dude, u do NOT have to take the last entry down. The people are trying to gatekeep that internet mystery because they think they’re the only ones entitled to “handle” it. I used to be in the server about the incident and it was so poorly handled and they leaked the dudes address and then started gatekeeping all of the information known. it’s pathetic
For the first entry, the "Make me cute" thread were from my understanding the exact opposite. So, they'd post a normal image (though in this case, a creepy doll) and then other posters would edit it to look creepier and creepier.
Hearing SCP described as an "earlier version of the backrooms" makes me feel so old and hurts my soul so much. I would say it's still active but honestly they make it impossible to even get anything added to the site anymore so it's reputation has definitely gotten worse 'cuz of that... still tho.
infinite ikea was the og backrooms. lol. i was into it in high school for me and do follow thevolgun who still does scp readings and some of the newer ones are so wrapped up in the own sites various lore that its near incomprehensibe. i do not doubt the site has only become more strict and i feel the self-referential meta-ness is probably both the reason and a symptom of the site being more strict
bro, scp articles are being added at a rate never before. they are in 8000 now and they are pretty good. while Backrooms is pretty dogshit if you tried to get into it in any amount of depth
Quick correction. Keter Class SCPs are not "the most dangerous". They're the hardest to contain. There are objects that could end the world by touching them categorized as Safe because they're just an inanimate object in a vault and harmless SCPs labeled Keter because they randomly and unpredictabily teleport.
very small correction for the first entry: the “make me pretty” trend was something on 2Chan where a random image was posted and users were challenged with making the image “pretty” (aka horrifying)- thats where the image originated

Just to let you know, the noises in Black Dog Ultra aren’t Morse code, they’re an SSTV signal, a method of transmitting an image over radio waves, it needs to be ran through an image converter, hope this helps! Also FYI I’m not technically gifted or even really knows how it works, but I recognise that type of sound, it’s a really distinct set of tones compared to other sounds used for encoding, so someone else who understands will have to convert it since I’ve got no idea how you’d go about it/how to set it up
i checked the sstv signal in a decoder and it appears to be a sign with some cut off text, the only parts i could read are "MAI- C-" and some text in kyrgyz that says "post office"
I don't think the shinning photo is from Britain: In the back an Exit sign is visible. I believe this would likely have it be in the US, since 1) British-European exit signs are pictograms, not simply the word "exit," and 2) Universalized mandatory exit signage was not a thing in the UK until 1991
Doesn't your second point negate the first? If there was no universal system, that means a dance hall could have a sign that just says exit, no pictograms needed.

Dude you seriously started a revolution with this guy. The images associated with the Truth Sticks 11 account are some of the most fear inducing pieces of media I have ever seen. There's a channel on youtube ran by a horror illustrator and he discusses methods used to create disturbing media and entities that would serve as horror movie villians or monsters. One idea he discusses is the inability to design any sort of horror creation that actually invokes a response whether it be disturbing, scary or simply strange and therefore interesting because horror is such a relative concept. He goes on to say that a good start would be creating some sort of character that appears human but has exaggerated features, absence of certain features or feature or extremities that are out of place. The school boy get up along with the make up he had on is the perfect way to illustrate this method of creating something everyone may find disturbing. The darkened mouth and pale skin was particularly creepy since it made him appear sickly and/or dead. Plus, the pairing of the lunchbox and children's clothing made for an especially creepy dynamic since it combined innocence with the look a serial killer would have. That whole delivery of that person and his online presence was incredibly scary and if any horror creators ever needed inspiration to move the process along, that guy would be a perfect example of a universally scary character.
Actually, the phrase "the goblins were awakened" came from the track "Thunderstorm" in the album The Rainbow Goblins by Masayoshi Takanaka. You guys can give that song a look, pretty good!
With the truth_sticks_11 story, I'm reminded of almost 20 years ago I frequented a forum devoted to collecting a specific type of dolls. The vast majority of users were adults, and there were some men. However, the only one who ever raised red flags was one who was an upper-middle aged man who claimed to have the soul of a 5-6 year old girl, especially fashions for girls that age when he was a kid in the 50s. He had a website and we told him not to link to it anymore because there were pages of him wearing dresses and frilly bloomers and taking like a little girl, and mentioning he had ties with others in the adult baby/child community (he ultimately unlinked the fetish stuff from his normal site). This guy also had a "cottage" (more like a large shed that had been decorated nicely inside and out) for displaying his dolls, all of which he also dressed in frilly dresses and "rumba panties" and insisted on posing so they were pigeon-toes (their feet point inward, like a toddler's), even dolls meant to represent much older characters/people. And then he started talking about how he liked to invite neighborhood girls in to see his doll cottage and that's when I said it was time for him to go (I was a mod eventually).
About the truth_sticks account, it's being handled by police and NOBODY, I repeat NOBODY should try to contact him. Just don't go visit his accounts or try to talk to him, please.

In regards to the weird sounds on Spotify there is a playlist i used to listen to almost every time i was in the car for like 30 minutes or longer. And it was based on my favorite band and then it just made a list based on bands that were similar. So I would hear certain songs from my favorite band which is senses fail and then some other bands like thrice, and a day to remember and then, like clock work after like ten or fifteen songs, I would hear stand by me. Like the 1960s version of stand by me, followed by a man talking very slowly about life and like what's to come not unlike the talking part following the Moody Blues excellent song Nights in White Satin. At first I thought it was from a movie or like a movie soundtrack but when I tried looking up the things being said there was absolutely nothing anywhere close to what i heard. I have always wondered how that would show up among so many unrelated songs.
This is how I learned that that photo at the end of The Shining wasn't taken for the film. Getting together a shitton of extras and putting them in period-accurate costumes just for one photo very much seemed like a Kubrick move. Also "brooch" is pronounced so it rhymes with "roach."
There's something about that first image that gets me unlike any other cursed image. Like I know it's fake but I still had to keep looking away during the first segment because it just freaks me out on a deep level and I have no clue why.
same here! it’s genuinely one of the only old creepypasta/scary images that still gets me. every goddamn time lol. all the other ones my brain has gotten used to, but this one still triggers that uncanny valley monkey brain fear in me like it did the first time i saw it
I’m very tired of bottom of the barrel ARGs that go nowhere and use the same exact methods as the other million ARGs out there. Make it unique and engaging?? Instead of the same old hexadecimal, morse code, base64 shit. Even Source sounds fed up with people giving them attention
It is strange that such a creative medium is plagued with endless copycats, you'd think somebody with the passion to make an ARG would be pretty keen on making it unique or new in some way, unless there's money involved.
Honestly the spotify person may just be more stressed than usual. During difficult times, I've heard a variety of things ranging from whispers to phone alarms to yelling; but ever since I improved my living situation some time ago, all of those went away. It's something that can happen to anyone if they get stressed enough (which if that is the case, then I wish the best for that spotify person)
Also correction on the ai generated photos, almost none of the photos are AI generated, they’re all heavily edited by him, he literally just makes it look like something AI generated
At least it's in the UK, for once. Seems like there's always an influx of trash in the US Edit: with that said, I don't think this person could exist in the US
Some hints about Black Dog Ultra: Basically some of the video titles are in Ukrainian. 16:00 - карти (cards or maps) 16:12 - тепер (now). The building in the video is a train station. 16:24 - підготовка (yep, that's preparation). At the beginning of the video, you can see something like a memorial monument dedicated to some tragic event, because there is the text on it 'My sons, my brothers' and candles 16:29 - виключення (deactivation). And yes, this is Pripyat on video.
Sourcebrew please continue to make videos from this subreddit its one of the most interesting subreddits on reddit and you do such a good job narrating the videos
small correction: the text that appears in the Black Ultra Dog videos is ukranian, as seen in the name of the railway station. and there is a ukranian flag in the second video, which also points to ukranian origins of the channel's owner
I am pretty sure the person of the spotify sounds, considering they stated they listen to spotify every single day and assuming using headphones/earpods, depending on the volume, they might be developing some hearing problem, which is really common, some people starts with a buzz and might develope to louder noises.
1. A lot of devices emit waves that cause interference, which is why sometimes you'll hear a brief hum. 2. Tinnitus. I've had random spurts of it all my life, I'm sure many people do too. 3. Bad headphones/earphones can cause static, as well as older devices that run sluggish nowadays can stutter and cause static. 4. Actual electrical interference/issues can cause a hum too.
Could also just be a glitch of some kind, there was a glitch on skype in the early 2010s that resulted in many people who were in calls at the time to hear someone yelling at someone else about cleaning a garage. Could also be a prank instead of a glitch I guess.
i am a big fan of run the jewels so when you said “the goblins were awakened” i immediately knew the soundbite before you showed it. So strange that was randomly played for some users.
For the Spotify one YES I have heard strange noises. Like whispering or weird talking. I always pause the music to see if it’s something outside or in my house
the one with the person listening to a sound in the background while listening to Spotify is such a nothingburger. People can hear a thing in the background while listening to music for a variety of reasons. At most is just a glitch...
I think I solved the Black Dog Ultra 'mystery' In video #125 he has a Tecsun H-501x radio, a top quality radio. It can listen to Shortwave stations, and he's listening to a random station on 6000 kHz, sounds like an average station In his video named 4 I can hear Radio Teletype signal (RTTY) There are also many RTTY transmissions in Shortwave In video 48201 there is a Morse code. I don't know what it says, but a very common occurrence for Shortwave Many of his other videos include Shortwave occurrences. I think he's a Shortwave listener that wanted to make an ARG.
@@idofentanylyeah, dude looks like the white equivalent of a racist British pedofork caricature. Saville looked subtle in comparison. His corpse probably looks more lively, too.
Whenever I see the Shining photo, I want to giggle at the man whose out of focus because he's moving in the bottom left. And then there's the man in back under the palm who looks like his eyes are white. Also that last story is pretty darn woot.
Isn't that the name of a Squarepusher track, Stone in Focus? It's like one of the most recognizable dance track for people from the 90s, even if they don't connect the name, artist... Once that melody hits.... It's been known to cause very, very strong emotional outpouring, even heard some cases of depression and sewer slide.
I was watching a sourcebrew vid before this, and i was like oh man, what iceberg channel uses stone in focus?! Was glad to see the answer was right in front of me.
Am I going crazy where is the last part of the video? Did it get edited out? I literally just watched the full thing half an hour ago and came back and now it’s gone
When I watched the video when it first came out there were multiple comments saying that the situation with that Instagram account is being dealt with by local police and that bringing further attention to it could muddy the case. I don't know how true any of this is. And I can't find the comments anymore. But I guess he just removed that part of the video to be safe
It got removed because the individual associated with the account is currently being investigated and source didn't want to interfere with the investigation
The Spotify one is crazy… My boyfriend’s god mother works in an office she is usually alone or with one coworker. they listen to Spotify on an older speaker and the coworker claims that it sometimes skips and glitches. So maybe that could be the case with op I guess sometimes we hear things that are not in the music
the "goblins were awakened" from the creepy spotify sound was a sample originating from masayoshi takanaka Thunderstorm from The Rainbow Goblins album, listen to the whole album it's so good
Just letting you know, the Japanese youtuber that found the original SCP image is also the one that brought attention to a super underrated lostwave song called "GO! GO! MANIAC". The comments on his video should help with the case a ton and I'd be super happy if you covered it.
I remember very well that the Spotify thing also pop up in the hispanic community a while ago, and i remember the explanation that was given was that Spotify actual played those sounds, but just in Halloween or special events
I've been enjoying your stuff, one thing I could suggest to use more than a single piece of music in videos, helps breaks it up a bit on a mental level.
10:14 Yes, I have heard stuff like that! I’m pretty sure there isn’t a faint laugh in Hound Dog by Elvis, I’ve heard it maybe once listening to the song, and that’s like hundreds of times.

There’s this user I wished was covered in a Reddit iceberg video named Oliver Markus Malloy. He mods various subreddits mostly political in nature and has various alt accounts.
It kind of amuses me how the bugeyed image is considered frightening while I have to hold myself from giggling while looking at it because of how ridiculous it looks. Also... Isn't #19/Stone in Focus copyrighted?
as someone who grew up in the uk and went to primary school, the whole truth_sticks_11 thing really makes me feel uneasy with how similar the look and feel is to the school i went to, also it's just sick in general.
The uniform the guy is wearing is very simliar to the ones my school used to use. The idea of walking down the street, seeing a local school uniform on a middle age'd balding dude wearing a mask is very unsettling. I do hope that this guy gets some medical help because he's clearly not doing well.
19:57 Kind of pisses me off how no one thought of a better solution, like a digital camera or something. Also looking at is very important too, yes if it's illegal material it's bad but you can just turn it in, don't want a case where a child rapist gets scott free cause someone was too scared to look at pictures.
tbh even though the spotify dude said he’s never experienced auditory hallucinations, that’s my theory. at least for the laughing idk about belching but i’ve 100% heard giggling when there hasn’t been. perhaps he was listening to his music so loudly that the lapse of silence between tracks had his brain try and fill in the blank?
The “weird shopping program” is literally just ruby or gemstone earrings, a emerald or some sort of gem ring with a diamond ring to the right 14:19 and the photo of the guys not sure but from what I can tell was probably a jewelry bid channel and could’ve been based on the Middle East but it’s not no alien for sure it’s jewelry lmao
A section of the video was removed. There isn't many details at the moment but it has something to do with the last entiry being part of an investigate which I would imainge spooked the uploader.
correction on scp 106: the image you showed first is the NEW image of the scp-106 victim, an original picture made so as to not potentially infringe on copyright. the second one you had to pixelate was the original image used. back in the early days of scp, people just used whatever random creepy photos they could find and added text to it. the first ever scp, 173, is infamous for this, actually, because longterm it posed massive issues because the original photo used was of an art installation, and when scp switched to being a property of creative commons, they couldn't find a replacement photo since the original scp was so heavily based around it. in this case though, they were able to make a replacement. but nobody knew where the first photo came from, just assuming it might infringe on copyright. turns out... yeah. that's a corpse.
@@fuzzy7644 no no scp 173's image was copyrighted 😭 I'm saying that the image he showed unblurred, he showed it as if it was an edit of the OG photo when it was just a replacement that didn't have a copyright and was creative commons, and that the original image was replaced cause they didn't know if it was copyrighted or not, just like many early scp images. it was only recently discovered that the OG image was in fact a corpse
@@sambradley9091 oh phew! 😅 You are right though. I feel like back in the day we just figured they were something else and brushed off the idea they were real. For example, I thought the half-life corpse was just burnt toast and the SCP 173 image was of a mask or some sort of art piece.
Ah, too be fair, lots of Europeans probably do too, no need to call out the average American on that? Out of interest if you know, where else is it really common in everyday use outside of Russia and some other Eastern European communities?

10:51 Oh, I know that one. There's a joke program that runs in the background, completely hidden, except in the task manager and plays a variety of cartoonish, or depending on the version, creepy sounds at random intervals.

And it was based on my favorite band and then it just made a list based on bands that were similar. So I would hear certain songs from my favorite band which is senses fail and then some other bands like thrice, and a day to remember and then, like clock work after like ten or fifteen songs, I would hear stand by me. Like the 1960s version of stand by me, followed by a man talking very slowly about life and like what's to come not unlike the talking part following the Moody Blues excellent song Nights in White Satin. At first I thought it was from a movie or like a movie soundtrack but when I tried looking up the things being said there was absolutely nothing anywhere close to what i heard. I have always wondered how that would show up among so many unrelated songs.
This is how I learned that that photo at the end of The Shining wasn't taken for the film. Getting together a shitton of extras and putting them in period-accurate costumes just for one photo very much seemed like a Kubrick move.
Also "brooch" is pronounced so it rhymes with "roach."
Glad to see the ssb9 video is put back in the video
There's something about that first image that gets me unlike any other cursed image. Like I know it's fake but I still had to keep looking away during the first segment because it just freaks me out on a deep level and I have no clue why.
Whats the image? I'm too scared to watch the video but I'm curious
same here! it’s genuinely one of the only old creepypasta/scary images that still gets me. every goddamn time lol. all the other ones my brain has gotten used to, but this one still triggers that uncanny valley monkey brain fear in me like it did the first time i saw it
@@AfanK47 turned out to be a Photoshop of a weird Japanese doll. Doesn't make the edited image any less freaky though.
@@mushroomwroom I know right?! I can handle most of them: Jeff the Killer, Selene Delgado, all that. But this one? Nope.
I’m very tired of bottom of the barrel ARGs that go nowhere and use the same exact methods as the other million ARGs out there. Make it unique and engaging?? Instead of the same old hexadecimal, morse code, base64 shit. Even Source sounds fed up with people giving them attention
It is strange that such a creative medium is plagued with endless copycats, you'd think somebody with the passion to make an ARG would be pretty keen on making it unique or new in some way, unless there's money involved.
So glad this became a series
Honestly the spotify person may just be more stressed than usual. During difficult times, I've heard a variety of things ranging from whispers to phone alarms to yelling; but ever since I improved my living situation some time ago, all of those went away. It's something that can happen to anyone if they get stressed enough (which if that is the case, then I wish the best for that spotify person)
Also correction on the ai generated photos, almost none of the photos are AI generated, they’re all heavily edited by him, he literally just makes it look like something AI generated
That ssb9 stuff is WEIRD
The videos are downright disturbing…
At least it's in the UK, for once. Seems like there's always an influx of trash in the US
Edit: with that said, I don't think this person could exist in the US
@@Wildeyedrotgut its amazing to me that people haven't given him the mark feely treatment
@@JK-gm6kk hes found out that people are looking for him so has deleted everything on his instagram etc. its been archived though.
this is perfect timing.. i’m laying down to nap before work 😭🙏🏻 THANK YOU sourcebrew!
Some hints about Black Dog Ultra:
Basically some of the video titles are in Ukrainian.
16:00 - карти (cards or maps)
16:12 - тепер (now). The building in the video is a train station.
16:24 - підготовка (yep, that's preparation). At the beginning of the video, you can see something like a memorial monument dedicated to some tragic event, because there is the text on it 'My sons, my brothers' and candles
16:29 - виключення (deactivation). And yes, this is Pripyat on video.
23:35 imagine being out at night and seeing that
What was it?
My guess is 2:35
It was not that lol it was a very unnerving grown man dressed as a boy
Yea the truth_sticks segment, there’s a saved copy floating around UA-cam
@@jasonbeeanimation need to find it
love the VHS effects for the opening cards very spoopy
Sourcebrew please continue to make videos from this subreddit its one of the most interesting subreddits on reddit and you do such a good job narrating the videos
small correction: the text that appears in the Black Ultra Dog videos is ukranian, as seen in the name of the railway station. and there is a ukranian flag in the second video, which also points to ukranian origins of the channel's owner
As soon as they see Cyrillic they think Russian.

Agreed!!
I am pretty sure the person of the spotify sounds, considering they stated they listen to spotify every single day and assuming using headphones/earpods, depending on the volume, they might be developing some hearing problem, which is really common, some people starts with a buzz and might develope to louder noises.
1. A lot of devices emit waves that cause interference, which is why sometimes you'll hear a brief hum.
2. Tinnitus. I've had random spurts of it all my life, I'm sure many people do too.
3. Bad headphones/earphones can cause static, as well as older devices that run sluggish nowadays can stutter and cause static.
4. Actual electrical interference/issues can cause a hum too.
Could also just be a glitch of some kind, there was a glitch on skype in the early 2010s that resulted in many people who were in calls at the time to hear someone yelling at someone else about cleaning a garage. Could also be a prank instead of a glitch I guess.
i am a big fan of run the jewels so when you said “the goblins were awakened” i immediately knew the soundbite before you showed it. So strange that was randomly played for some users.
For the Spotify one YES I have heard strange noises. Like whispering or weird talking. I always pause the music to see if it’s something outside or in my house
Hell yea, another SourceBrew vid!
the one with the person listening to a sound in the background while listening to Spotify is such a nothingburger. People can hear a thing in the background while listening to music for a variety of reasons. At most is just a glitch...
Reddit users get off on attention and making something out of nothing

I think I solved the Black Dog Ultra 'mystery'
In video #125 he has a Tecsun H-501x radio, a top quality radio. It can listen to Shortwave stations, and he's listening to a random station on 6000 kHz, sounds like an average station
In his video named 4 I can hear Radio Teletype signal (RTTY) There are also many RTTY transmissions in Shortwave
In video 48201 there is a Morse code. I don't know what it says, but a very common occurrence for Shortwave
Many of his other videos include Shortwave occurrences.
I think he's a Shortwave listener that wanted to make an ARG.
the last one was a nightmare fuel

Are you ok
Truth sticks' instagram is still around it never got deleted
Love the use of Simpsons Hit & Run music for the ProtonVPN ad.
Maybe you should bring back the last part since a lot of youtubers already uploaded videos about it like Nick Crowley.
He has
Whenever I see the Shining photo, I want to giggle at the man whose out of focus because he's moving in the bottom left. And then there's the man in back under the palm who looks like his eyes are white. Also that last story is pretty darn woot.
STONE IN FOCUS STOKE IN FOCUS STONE IN FOCUS SOURCEBREW I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU
?
Isn't that the name of a Squarepusher track, Stone in Focus? It's like one of the most recognizable dance track for people from the 90s, even if they don't connect the name, artist... Once that melody hits.... It's been known to cause very, very strong emotional outpouring, even heard some cases of depression and sewer slide.
@@edmardisla8492
It's the name of the song playing in the video.
"Stone in focus" by aphex twin.
@@xXKris_DreemurrXx Ah, I thought bro was having a stroke xD
I was watching a sourcebrew vid before this, and i was like oh man, what iceberg channel uses stone in focus?! Was glad to see the answer was right in front of me.
1:44 heres the ad skip for ya'll
I mean, you could also skip the intro
Dude, too late. I watched all it. I really wished you had posted this sooner! Seis
Am I going crazy where is the last part of the video? Did it get edited out? I literally just watched the full thing half an hour ago and came back and now it’s gone
Nah same it got removed I think
When I watched the video when it first came out there were multiple comments saying that the situation with that Instagram account is being dealt with by local police and that bringing further attention to it could muddy the case. I don't know how true any of this is. And I can't find the comments anymore. But I guess he just removed that part of the video to be safe
I read more comments I have no actual clue what's going on
It got removed because the individual associated with the account is currently being investigated and source didn't want to interfere with the investigation
@@justlikethesimulations9213 oh that makes total sense I thought I was going crazy
11:16 thanks for the jumpscare im watching this on my 55" TV
That's why you love your 'big TV' 😂 Almost got the same jump scare with my little '40,' inch!! 😛
The Spotify one is crazy… My boyfriend’s god mother works in an office she is usually alone or with one coworker. they listen to Spotify on an older speaker and the coworker claims that it sometimes skips and glitches. So maybe that could be the case with op I guess sometimes we hear things that are not in the music
the "goblins were awakened" from the creepy spotify sound was a sample originating from masayoshi takanaka Thunderstorm from The Rainbow Goblins album, listen to the whole album it's so good
21:20 why didn't you show the dog?
Just letting you know, the Japanese youtuber that found the original SCP image is also the one that brought attention to a super underrated lostwave song called "GO! GO! MANIAC". The comments on his video should help with the case a ton and I'd be super happy if you covered it.
I remember very well that the Spotify thing also pop up in the hispanic community a while ago, and i remember the explanation that was given was that Spotify actual played those sounds, but just in Halloween or special events
Y'know, real nice knowing I saw a real dead body on the SCP wiki back in late middle-school of 2012 and just didn't know it was real.
I've been enjoying your stuff, one thing I could suggest to use more than a single piece of music in videos, helps breaks it up a bit on a mental level.
10:14 Yes, I have heard stuff like that! I’m pretty sure there isn’t a faint laugh in Hound Dog by Elvis, I’ve heard it maybe once listening to the song, and that’s like hundreds of times.
black dog ultra is very similar to county bluff. i think people have even said they are connected

Eventually you'll have said "I'm sure you all know how this works by now" so many times that you won't even need to say that in your intro anymore.

It kind of amuses me how the bugeyed image is considered frightening while I have to hold myself from giggling while looking at it because of how ridiculous it looks. Also... Isn't #19/Stone in Focus copyrighted?
The Spotify situation happens to me too, very creepy
Not that I don't believe you but do you have evidence you could upload to your channel or somethin?
as someone who grew up in the uk and went to primary school, the whole truth_sticks_11 thing really makes me feel uneasy with how similar the look and feel is to the school i went to, also it's just sick in general.

The uniform the guy is wearing is very simliar to the ones my school used to use. The idea of walking down the street, seeing a local school uniform on a middle age'd balding dude wearing a mask is very unsettling. I do hope that this guy gets some medical help because he's clearly not doing well.
@@fuzzy7644 yeah this is genuinely the scariest rabbit hole i've found for sure.

the cat when you read out games on my phone genuinely made me laugh so hard
19:57 Kind of pisses me off how no one thought of a better solution, like a digital camera or something. Also looking at is very important too, yes if it's illegal material it's bad but you can just turn it in, don't want a case where a child rapist gets scott free cause someone was too scared to look at pictures.
Eee!!!! My pic is first. Yay!
tbh even though the spotify dude said he’s never experienced auditory hallucinations, that’s my theory. at least for the laughing idk about belching but i’ve 100% heard giggling when there hasn’t been.
perhaps he was listening to his music so loudly that the lapse of silence between tracks had his brain try and fill in the blank?
also explaining scp as being an early backrooms for the younger/uninitiated made me do a double take :P sorta fits i guess lol
The “weird shopping program” is literally just ruby or gemstone earrings, a emerald or some sort of gem ring with a diamond ring to the right 14:19 and the photo of the guys not sure but from what I can tell was probably a jewelry bid channel and could’ve been based on the Middle East but it’s not no alien for sure it’s jewelry lmao

correction on scp 106: the image you showed first is the NEW image of the scp-106 victim, an original picture made so as to not potentially infringe on copyright. the second one you had to pixelate was the original image used. back in the early days of scp, people just used whatever random creepy photos they could find and added text to it. the first ever scp, 173, is infamous for this, actually, because longterm it posed massive issues because the original photo used was of an art installation, and when scp switched to being a property of creative commons, they couldn't find a replacement photo since the original scp was so heavily based around it. in this case though, they were able to make a replacement. but nobody knew where the first photo came from, just assuming it might infringe on copyright. turns out... yeah. that's a corpse.
Wait...are you saying SCP 173's orignal image is also a corpse or am I misreading you?
@@fuzzy7644 no no scp 173's image was copyrighted 😭 I'm saying that the image he showed unblurred, he showed it as if it was an edit of the OG photo when it was just a replacement that didn't have a copyright and was creative commons, and that the original image was replaced cause they didn't know if it was copyrighted or not, just like many early scp images. it was only recently discovered that the OG image was in fact a corpse
@@sambradley9091 oh phew! 😅
You are right though. I feel like back in the day we just figured they were something else and brushed off the idea they were real.
For example, I thought the half-life corpse was just burnt toast and the SCP 173 image was of a mask or some sort of art piece.
@@fuzzy7644 yeah I think everyone did. I thought it was a paper machet sculpture lmao

10:51 Oh, I know that one. There's a joke program that runs in the background, completely hidden, except in the task manager and plays a variety of cartoonish, or depending on the version, creepy sounds at random intervals. Perhaps the OP is a victim of this prankware. I don't remember the name of it, but if you search for it, I bet you will find it. Just don't download the creepy version as it is REALLY creepy.
