I cant be bothered to dig up Suicide Mouse.

Leto 03-29-2010 07:29 PM

dig up? fuck, just youtube suicide mickey. probably my most favourite and 2nd most blatantly fake of them all. the audio was top notch, but the visuals were obviously Flash based.


Disgruntled Intern 03-30-2010 12:23 PM

I don't understand the point of this crap. It just seems stupid to me.

Taco 03-30-2010 03:35 PM

It is stupid.

Another internet creepy video myth is The Grifter, popular on 4chan with the newbies. It's supposedly a video containing lots of horrible things (like zombies killing babies) and it causes nausea, trauma and usually suicides. Some newfags like to ask about links for it so they can get back at people by making them watch it.

Here's a fan attempt

Pilot 03-31-2010 09:39 AM

What in the world was that? That wasn't scary.

Disgruntled Intern 03-31-2010 09:45 AM

Pilot, we agree.

Best friends now, ok?

Josh 03-31-2010 10:02 AM

Let me tell you a story that I made up. A story of a man.
This man was from Japan, where creepy shit happend every day. Giant monsters, scary little girl ghosts, etc... But nothing could prepare him for what was to come.

One day, he spoke to his friend who told him of a guy on Youtube who claimed to be the devil. He said that it was a load of shit and the guy be trippin' balls. He parted from his friend and went to sleep.

The next day, he had time off from work, so he spent time on the internet. He was checking 4chan for a cheap laugh/pictures of tits when he stumbled upon a picture of the same thing his friend had told him. The tale of 'Username 666' was all over the Tubes. Getting curious, he logged into YouTube and searched for user/666. It didn't work, but he was on a mission. It was all over the Blogosphere, which, as you know, never lies. He decided to record what he found, as no footage of user/666 was on YouTube.


The man was never seen again...

MA 03-31-2010 10:11 AM

i wonder how many people will search You Tube for username '666' after watching that.

Disgruntled Intern 03-31-2010 10:30 AM

Dumb.

STM 03-31-2010 11:50 AM

Can any1 make out his username? Coz that wud be funny

Pilot 03-31-2010 12:39 PM

That was actually entertaining at least, if not actually scary. The story is WEAK.

Pilot 03-31-2010 12:50 PM

You know all that blood is really ketchup anyway.

Gwan-Thwei 03-31-2010 05:34 PM

This one isn't a myth, but it was very disturbing, so I's gonna post about it anyway.
I WILL NOT POST A LINK!
Okay, so I was looking for the origional vid of 'The Grifter' (thinking of naming one of my xenomorphs that now) And I stumbled across a website for creepy vids. I found fan makes, but no grifter in sight. And then I clicked on a link to a website titled ''The sickest thing you will ever see".
The vid showed two hispanic guys wandering around in the woods when they stumble across a sleeping homeless man. They kick off the newspapers serving to be his blanket, and of course the hobo is surprised. He startes to sit up, but Asshole 1 pushes him to the ground.
Asshole 1 proceeds to bash his face in with a hammer. For no reason.
Asshole 2, the one with the camera, is laughing like crazy and zooming in on the Hobo's face, which is now a bloody mas leaking blood all over the leafy ground. Asshole 1 starts poking him with his sneaker and stepping on his stomach. The hobo is clearly suffering a long and painful death, caused by the assholes for no reason, and all they can do is lugh at him while he tries to breathe, gasping for air and whimpering.
Needless to say I cried, how could asshole1 and asshole 2 do this? The hobo did nothign wrong, and I could see if they taunted him or something, but killing him? And all they can do is laugh while he died. The camera zoomed in on the hobo writhing on the ground and making wet, sucking gasping noises, and I vomited, still crying. I looked down at the time bar, thinking that it would end soon, but no, it still had TWENTY FUCKING MINUTES. I hit the close button and tried to forget about it, posting a journal in my da account to pass the time.
I will not find a link, I don't want to barf my heart out. I hope those assholes die.

Disgruntled Intern 03-31-2010 06:12 PM

Didn't you post something similar a couple of days ago? Only last time there was no hammer, and they were just kicking the homeless guy, right? Also, what is it with you and 'hispanic guys'? Fuck, I really hate you. All of your posts are caca.

Gwan-Thwei 03-31-2010 06:51 PM

I have nothing against mexicans, but they were hispanics or mexicans or spainyards or whatever you want to call them. And it doesn't matter that they were spanish or whatever, The point is they brutally murdered a hobo for no reason. If they were chinese or caucasian or eskimoes or whatever I would still call them assholes because they murdered that hobo for sleeping then laughed at his mortal agony.
And they did beat the hobo's head in, but I might not have posted it then. I did post something similar, yes, but this is also a supposed 'myth' even though it was real, so I can post it here.
>sticks tounge out at disgruntled intern<
And das okay if you hate me, A lot of people hate me. I'm used to it.

Another internet myth (so I don't get messaged for spamming) or meme or whatever is the 'Binary DNA' message.
"They say when you take a picture of someone you capture their soul in the camera. They also say if you print it off, that picture contains the soul itself and you can control them with it.

I’m not sure where to start. Do you know what the Primordial Soup is? A veritable ocean of elements, all floating around randomly. And through millions of years of time, eventually the right set of random circumstances came to pass, and the elements were able to connect together and form the worlds first single cell organism.

Now that’s a really boiled down version of it but I’m sure you get the gist of it. Fast forward a few billion years to the early 1990s, when internet use began to rapidly accelerate. Every home had a computer, and new connections between computers were opening on a by the second basis.

Trillions of bytes of data began to transfer around the world at the speed of light, music, text, sound, and most importantly; pictures. Now if, when you take a picture of someone and capture their soul, what happens when that picture is converted to data and placed on a hard drive? Does the soul follow? 15 years later we believe so. We believe that when you take a picture of someone and upload it onto your computer, alongside the image data a blueprint of the person’s soul itself is imprinted on the file itself.

Look at your pictures folder. How many souls reside in that folder alone?

That’s just the beginning though. These soul blueprints each retain pieces of a puzzle, parts of the soul itself as well.

Recently a group of hackers, who referred to themselves as the Cardinals, took an interest to this theory and began experiments. They found anomalies within the binary sequences of images based on similar features of the person they had taken a picture of. A binary DNA if you will.

Now these hackers had come to posses a set of three extremely important data files. One avi, one jpeg, and one .mp3, each of which possessing interesting unexplainable qualities.

The first, cradle.avi, depicts what appears to be a group of teenagers with a low quality video camera, exploring the basement of a house. The quality of the video is distorted completely beyond any comprehensibility, and the video is very low quality. For most of the video the camera is passed around the group, handed back and forth and jerked around too much to make anything noticeable out.

But near the end the camera turns at an odd angle, and you can semi clearly make out a young girl standing in the corner facing the wall. Her hair is long and black and she is wearing some form of white dress. You only see her for a split second but many people who have seen the video claim there just seems something wrong with her. A bit deformed but not in a way anyone can explain.

But the truly peculiar property of this video is what happens to the users computer at the end of it. On the last second of the video, if not already so the video will force full screen itself. Along with this you are left with a one second looping clip of a window in a wall. It loops 15 times, and then the girl is seen again, standing on the other side of the window with her back to the viewer, slowly wavering back and forth. After a few moments the video ends and the user’s computer permanently shuts down.

Inspection has shown that the entire registry becomes completely corrupt, requiring the user to do a total wipe and reinstall.

The second file is known as needles.mp3. This sound file, when played, plays for about 3 minutes. It is extremely distorted. One can occasionally make out some form of voice talking, but most of the sound is some form of growling, rolling crackled roar.

Users who listen to this file often experience extreme nausea and loss of balance for a brief period of time.

The final file is known as burningman.jpg.

The file name has nothing to do with what the actual picture depicts. Instead it just displays a haphazard mess of overlayed and meshed images of dolls and a hallway. There also seems to be an image of a man standing with his head cast down in the background, but the image is too distorted to make anything out, much like the other files.

The image, when downloaded and opened on a users desktop, will proceed to stay permanently open on whatever program it is opened through. Not only that, the program becomes disabled. Nothing else happens, the image just permanently sits there on your desktop, unclickable, unminimizable, and your just left there with the mans invisible gaze staring at you.

From what the group of hackers were able to discern, this file seems to have precompiled into the data something along the lines of Cmdow. Yet, as complex and intricate as the program is (it works across all OS platforms) no one knows who the original creator is. In fact, few people have heard of it as the file is uncopyable nor sendable.

This in fact further adds to the mystery, as often receivers of this file will obtain it from random anonymous emails, posted on forms on a download link. Posing the question, how was that poster able to upload it?

If you ever see any of these files, refrain from downloading ANY of them. They all have varying detrimental effects on your computers, from practically taking out your whole registry, corrupting system 32, freezing your mouse or crashing your computer.


Now onwards:

This group of hackers, the Cardinals, took to analyzing these 3 files and comparing their odd behaviors. They had heard of other such odd files, images, data, etc, but were never able to get their hands on them. At least as far as we know, though rumour states they in fact were able to locate and collect all of the known files like the original smile.jpg, barbie.jpg, even suicidemouse.avi. Not even the grifter was able to escape their grasp, rumour states. But rumour also states the grifter video even exists, but thats another story.

Nonetheless, all these files in hand, the group lined the files up and begin to meticulously work through the binary one 0/1 at a time, checking for similar strains and series of binary that matched.

And they did manage to successfully do so, at least legend states. The result were 7 individual execute files that did nothing. Simply a gibberish pile of 0s and 1s. They endless puzzled over the files, each tackling an execute each. They decided to name them after themselves, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Envy, Sloth, Wrath, and Pride.

At last they attempted to line the files up. Remarkably, something odd happened. The copies of the files quite suddenly meshed together. The result was a single complete Execute, already named.

“BarelyBreathing.exe”

And what of this file? Well not much else is known after that point. They were too smart to just execute it. They analyzed the file every possible way. Hex, binary, conversions, anything to figure out what this odd file would do.

To no avail, even after forming together it was an even bigger jumble of 1s and 0s and made no more sense than the separate executes.

They backed the file up on a flash drive and proceeded to run it. That was the last command found run on their destroyed computers a week later. Their corpses had been disfigured beyond recognition. Description of the corpses stated that it almost seemed as if they had been brutally slashed across their faces and arms. Every square inch of skin that had been bare had been mutilated. Almost microwaved and then sliced repeatedly by a micro thin razor.

The government attempted to hush up the event, but there was some media leakage, and because the Cardinals had been keeping a blog amongst themselves and a few close friends (its closed down and deleted now so don’t go trying to find it) it quickly spread out as per what they had been attempting to accomplish. And if it was or was not related to their terrible deaths.

And what of the flash drive? A friend, who knew of its existence, later checked the home of the group and was unable to find it. According to reports the drive was found in the pocket of one of the group and had been taken into custody by the police, and then simply vanished.

The trail continues on, far more though. The file resurfaces every few weeks around the globe. Governments attempt to cover it up but some media leaks out, of course. Look to the news for people mutilated in their own homes by a “murderer”, their computers stolen, etc.

And if you ever get a cryptic email with an attachment labelled BarelyBreathing.exe, for fuck sakes DO NOT OPEN IT!!!"

The funny thing about this one is that the three ones mentioned, the girl vid and the staring man and all that, sound believable, what with all of the virus cards and shit going around, plus 'The Grifter' and similar videos. The murder part kind of ruined the story.

Disgruntled Intern 03-31-2010 07:33 PM

Shit. Why doesn't it get banned? Hey, Daxter, was that first Dead Bart some kind of early Troma scrap? It has Troma written all over it.

Gwan-Thwei 03-31-2010 07:49 PM

@Intern- what doesn't get banned? It's from creepypasta.com, hence NOT REAL.
@DaxterKing - That dead bart with the real peopel? Yeah, I can't get any sound, soooo...what are they saying?

Disgruntled Intern 03-31-2010 07:54 PM

I meant why don't you get banned, you thick fuck.

Gwan-Thwei 03-31-2010 10:44 PM

Alright, so what did I do? Seriously, I'm chatting about cartoons and whatever and here you come acting like I beat up your little sister or something. Why should I get banned? I didn't do anything wrong aside from getting way off topic on someone's pity thread so...

I always thought that the myth on that haunted painting, y'know the one with the boy and the girl manequin, (I think it's called "the hands resist him" or something) I always thought that that that myth was really fucking creepy.

Disgruntled Intern 03-31-2010 10:46 PM

Oh, now you can post coherently. Cunt.

Gwan-Thwei 03-31-2010 10:51 PM

That still doesn't answer my question. Did I do something to you? Possibly a friend? Seriously, this is really petty and childish.
In fact it reminds me of a fight on my DA account...took me forever to find out what the bitch's problem was.

Another creepy myth was that one doll, I think his name was robert or soemthing? And the artist like loved it so bad but everyone hated it and now it's posessed? Seriously, it just looks like an old doll. What is everyone's deal with that thing?

Pilot 03-31-2010 11:09 PM

That first Dead Bart is actually a Spanish episode of The Simpsons. Weird.

Gwan-Thwei 03-31-2010 11:12 PM

It doesn't look like a cartoon...and I can't get any sound. Sad Face.

because you're an exaggerator of already tall-enough tales. and it would be against the forum rules to post such a link, anyway. and you have no link because its all bullshit. so you're pretty much covered. i mean, this is for internet myths/creepypasta, not stories you made up yourself a few days ago. link to the story, not the supposed video.

The story is WEAK.

Myeh, I just wanted to give it some backstory, not write an epic ballad of the devil and man from Japan.

Wings of Fire 04-01-2010 08:46 AM

Well.

I wouldn't mind a Spaniyard, it sounds quite exotic.

It isn't a Spanish episode of The Simpsons. It's from a Spanish language skit show.

shaman 04-01-2010 09:18 AM

Also, Gwan's video is real, i've been told about it from other people who gave the exact same discription.

Just so you know.

Are you talking about The Dnepropetrovsk maniacs? That wasn't a homeless man, that was the murder of Sergei Yatzenko.

Edit: ah, hispanic guys. Got it wrong, but for the love of god don't google Dnepropetrovsk maniacs.

I watched the Slender Man videos that Daxter King posted a link to in the opening post. I really liked them, actually. They creeped me the fuck out.

Disgruntled Intern 04-01-2010 10:52 AM

Yeah, we go a kick out of them.

I HEARD THE GUY IN THE VIDEOS IS DAXTER KING....OOOOOO!

Gwan-Thwei 04-01-2010 06:54 PM

Funny, when someone says Slenderman, I think of Johnny C...And then salad fingers. Have you seen episode three? God, he's just bones and skin, man.
Here's the best pic I could find of slenderman.

Other than that all I could find is cartoons...and really grainy black and white photos.
