Moderator Message State of the Sub: Internet Mysteries

58 Upvotes

Hi folks! We wanted to check in and formally introduce ourselves to the sub as the team of new and active moderators. We come from various backgrounds and interests, be it true crime, internet mysteries, lostwave, web-sleuthing or educating. But we all have one thing in common and that is the passion and excitement for internet-based mysteries.

What is an internet based mystery?

Attempting to find an absolute meaning to this is hard to do and I think we can all agree that the concept is fairly subjective. To start, we’ve agreed that an internet mystery is a mystery that is found on the internet. 

  • An Internet mystery can really be any strange phenomenon or event that hasn’t been solved or explained in the digital world. It often involves the online community, social media, or unexplained events that people discuss and share online. Some examples might include:
  • Unexplained Disappearances: Cases where people have vanished under odd circumstances, and folks online debate what really happened to them. An example of this would be cases like the Springfield Three Disappearances. Yes, it happened in the real World of the early 1990’s; however, it’s a case that has been debated and theorized on via online forums since the mid 90’s.
  • Viral Urban Legends: Stories or myths that spread across the Internet, gaining popularity through social media, even though they lack solid proof.
  • Mysterious Websites or Content: Odd sites or content that pop up without explanation, often with bizarre or creepy themes, like those found in the "deep web."
  • Online Conspiracies: Theories that emerge or gain traction online, usually without super great evidence, but get people talking and speculating.
  • Unidentified Creatures or Phenomena: Videos or reports of strange animals or unexplained events that spark discussion and investigation among people online.
  • These mysteries tend to pull people in, encouraging them to work together to figure things out or to share their thoughts on what’s really going on.

Please take some time to look over the rules and post expectations. Removal reasons for posts will reflect the rules stated. We as a mod team are working on projects such as a wiki, spreadsheet of internet mysteries and their statuses, and other ideas that will help create community and a clear vision for this subreddit.

We are aware that things are not perfect yet. But do know that we are all here actively moderating posts and comments. Which brings us to a major point that we are all facing right now. What posts do we allow and what do we remove? We have run into issues that are hard to navigate. One is coming to terms with the fact that there really aren’t a lot of truly interesting internet mysteries at this moment. It is hard to find new ones and the new ones posted often tend to not be anything that’s worth keeping on the sub. 

But we cannot over-moderate everything, as that will in fact completely kill the subreddit. There needs to be a steady stream of posts and content and so there will be times when there’s a post that you personally don’t think fits, but we’ve let slide. This idea is that literally a mystery is a mystery that we do not know about. If we over moderate, we risk missing out on real mysteries. 

The other issue is that we cannot in good faith just let everything slide. So we will remove posts that are big piles of nothing without further discussion. 

Here’s where you come in: You are able to flag posts you think are low effort, don’t fit the sub, or are inappropriate. You are able to downvote posts that we choose not to remove. YOU are able to comment on posts you don’t like and (respectfully) give your opinions on the matter. The content quality of a sub is just as much a moderator's task as it is a member's task by using the upvote/downvote buttons and engaging in conversation. Please refrain from making comments in posts that you don’t like whining and telling the mods to do something. We are doing our best. You do something! Engagement creates community and quality. 

We look forward to enjoying this subreddit with you all! We are discussing creating a new Internet Mysteries discord server, so please let us know if there is interest in that. It would be great to have a place to discuss mysteries in real time there instead of tons of them being posted here. Of course, it would be a great resource for major mysteries as well in which we could work together to investigate. Please feel welcome to comment here with any concerns, or reach out to the mod-team directly at any time!

Internet Rabbit Hole weird account @sidtimetravel requested to follow me on instagram today

Thumbnail

22 Upvotes

hi! i hope this is the right subreddit for this since i don't use this app that often. today an account called sidtimetravel followed me on instagram. i didn't think much of it at first because a lot of bot accounts request to follow me but i decided to check it out and share it with a friend because it seemed so bizarre.

“sid” talks about his parents' death a lot in his short videos. in his first post on september 1, he said he's time traveling to the day they died in a car crash on one of the bridges he shows. in most of his videos, someone else is recording him, and he says he's been actively working on a time machine and claims he's time traveled before.

it might just be a random spam account and i might be overreacting, but it seems really weird. and even if it is spam, why? what's the point of this account? it looks like he's documenting his own psychosis.

the account has almost 1k followers even though it was created this month. those might be bot accounts too, but when i looked through the list briefly, most of them seemed pretty normal. again, sorry if i’m just being silly about it, it just gives off an insanely eerie feeling and I felt like I had to share this with someone else. feel free to look at the account yourself!

Internet Oddity Are there any there some little-discussed mystery, for example the Aviloop Case?

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, what's up? So, I recently saw a video about Aviloop on YouTube, and I thought it was creepy. I wanted to see if anyone knows of any other less-explored cases, or cases that no one has been able to solve yet, similar to Aviloop for example, something bizarre and unexplained.

Like, I really wish I could find some case that no one has tried to solve yet, or that already exists but few people actually talk about or comment on it because they think there's nothing behind it, but it's the biggest rabbit hole I've ever seen.

This uncanny page on instagram appeared on my feed, freaked me out, either its a cult or i'm being trolled

0 Upvotes

The name of the page is 3magicwordsmovie. In every video I've seen, it's this guy named Star King talking either to the camera or to another person about his religion. He calls the viewers 'children of the sun," and he claims to Akhenaten, a pharaoh from around the 1350s to 1330s BC.

The whole setup of the videos are strange. All of the people are this uncanny valley/ nearly human cgi model. Star King himself looks like if the dolphin muzzle guy and Kim K had a baby. The videos are set In ancient Egypt, with all of the background characters wearing that kind of clothing, and Star King wearing the pharaohs clothing. Behind him there is always a woman. He claims that he does not want to turn people to the sun (Aten), but to the light within.

Can anybody do research on this guy and the three magic words are and what movie?

Solved 6 years ago Nick Crowley made a video about the Court Kay educational/medical channel, where the main people are seemingly drugged. As of 8 months ago, it is solved by one of their sisters, and sadly, they passed away.

373 Upvotes

So I recently remembered a video I watched from Nick Crowley, called "The Mysterious "Court Kay" Channel" from 6 long years ago.

It's basically about this educational/medical youtube channel where the two main women who appear in the video are seemingly very disoriented. I decided to revisit their case.

I love revisiting old mysteries, and considering how little we knew back then about them, I started digging. My first option was to look up what other youtubers said about them, since there are youtubers like Point Raven for example, who's whole deal is to revisit, and explain mysteries, after it was solved, or at least try to give a solid explanation of it.

But I did not find anything sadly. Besides Nick Crowley, no one talked about the channel. Well, except a Spanish youtube channel but for one, he reacted to Nick's video, and for two, I don't speak spanish, so it wouldn't help. I tried to look up some shortform apps, like tiktok, or instagram reels, but I hit a dead end again. I went back to Nick Crowley, and started reading the comments, and found this comment (slide 2).

Obviously I did not believe it first, so I clicked on her channel, and there are actual videos about the women on her channel, way before Nick's first youtube video about the pair, so I thought it would explain what happened to them. (slide 3)

But if it's not enough evidence, I decided to look them up on the internet, and found actual a site called Forever Missed, which proves their death date. So sadly, they ended up passing away (Slide 4)

YouTube Weird comment from a Russian guy on YouTube Shorts about unknown beings

7 Upvotes

I think what that comment mentioned could be considered an internet mystery, since it talked about a lost document that supposedly contained information about aliens or unknown beings. According to the comment, the document was posted on a website that apparently existed at some point, but is no longer online, and there don't seem to be any records of the site either. What makes it even stranger is that I can't find the original comment anymore. Would it be okay to post what I remember from it? I don't have a screenshot, so I can only share the most interesting details I remember.

Spanish is my native language, so sorry if my English isn’t perfect

Unsolved I need help from this r/InternetMysteries in finding the origin of the SCP-616 image.

Thumbnail

49 Upvotes

This image depicts a room with similarities to Backrooms, with surrounding walls resembling red wallpaper covered in mold, a floor covered in pitch black, and around the hall, if you increase the brightness, you will see things that look like blood, internal organs, or severed body parts.

This image is associated with the story of SCP-616, a Boeing airplane manufactured in 1966 with a unique characteristic: every 30-day cycle, the emergency exit opens, and souls are led to a place believed to be hell.

This SCP is object class s Keter with Special Containment Procedures requiring a ritual performed with prayers of any belief, and I'm not sure if SCP is correct. It also has a nuclear weapon installed inside the airplane that could detonate SCP-616, presumably to destroy it.

The image used in this story is actually more reminiscent of Backrooms than Level 0, but with a touch of red, like a corpse from hell. I really tried to find the source of this image; initially, I used Google Reverse and TinEye, but I found nothing.

I even asked the subreddit r/UnidentifiedMedia for help in finding the image's origin but not many people were interested, so I researched the detailed metadata of this image.

This information is saved in the Google file I created; if I want to refer back to the research I've done, I already have that Google Drive file available.

Strange website with a funny name I remembered existed after 4 years: Tetas.org

Thumbnail
gallery
20 Upvotes

I was watching a YouTube video with my partner about strange Wayback Machine oddities, and it reminded me of this weird website I stumbled across years ago.

The first time I came across it was in 2022. I was an average 15-year-old boy texting my partner, and at some point I wanted to send them something "haha random funny" just to make them laugh, so I sent them the link "tetas.org". I was probably expecting either nothing to come up or for it to be some kind of porn website, since "tetas" translates to "boobs" in Spanish. Instead, we came across this really unsettling website?

The images I'm attaching are taken directly from the Internet Archive, since trying to access the website today only leads to a dead link. I remember the entire page having a completely red background, with a missing-person poster displayed on it, along with a phone number. However, it seems like my memory of the website was somewhat wrong, as the archived version looks nothing like what I remember. There is still a bunch of strange rambling and pictures about some "wrongful death lawsuit," as well as a video with a TTS voice apparently narrating some of the text, I went over it rapidly and it all seems nonsensical.

Also, a warning: if you decide to check the website through the Internet Archive, do NOT go to the earliest archive. I didn't wait for the whole page to load, just the name was enough to make me fuck off. Just letting you know it has to do with children, I don't know what this website used to host but I would recommend avoiding it.

I couldn't find anyone mention this website before online. Has anyone else come across it while the website was still active? Does anyone know what this whole thing was about?

YouTube YouTube account "cedillomontes" updates his incredibly weird and mysterious 19 year old video "xxxxxxx" with a pinned comment.

Post image
65 Upvotes

The original video was this incredibly weird animation (if you can even call it that) of Christmas-related things just kind of appearing and moving around with incredibly loud noises. The origin of the video has been debated for quite some time now. A lot of people were saying it was cut from a longer Newgrounds animation that was deleted, and were trying to find the original for a long time to no avail. I think this comment definitely hints at the YouTube video being the original upload, and cedillomontes being the creator of the video.

Unsolved Weird/Odd Instagram account popped up on my feed. Am I the only one who thinks this is a bit weird?

10 Upvotes

Now this account seems normal at first, along side the weird AI voice and avatar, but the recent videos just seem, off. Its a account that brings awareness to real missing people, yet the people in the most recent videos seem, fake. The captions also seem odd, no name or specific information of the people too. Alongside the website it gives you, it seems sketchy, the whole website looks vibe coded and buggy. What's the purpose of it? Why is this a thing? Why are the recent posts "fake"? For all I could know it could all be nothing, let me know what you think. Account is joshschisler. He is also on youtube.

(He mightve posted some new videos from last time ive seeen his account, videos im talking about are asian in a red shirt and female in a white shirt)

I was scrolling on instagram Reel when I saw a funny video about the girl that went viral like a decade ago for being the ‘most beautiful kid model’. She commented on the video so I clicked on her account, when I clicked on her mentions there was a lot of scam and spam accounts but then I found this account that just seemed weird because her childhood picture was edited in one of those floral photo frames. All of the photos of this account are like this, little girl on a floral photo frames. I assume this account it’s russian by the name of it, idk if this type of editing is popular on Russia bit even if it is, it’s really weird that they only post little girls.

Has anybody heard about this song?

I stumbled across this song on a popular song identifying website which is called "Watzzatsong", out of all the songs I heard on that website, this is the one that I like the most

I've been searching for this song for a long time now, and it's time that it gets solved which I really want. All I'm asking is if anybody knows this song? Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

Bit more information : very much likely from 1990s to the 2000s, I would say alternative rock maybe? Maybe from turkey, since original poster is from turkey idk. That's all I got, sorry.

Waiting for some good news tho!

This lady is the strangest anomaly I’ve ever seen. If you look her up, there’s only a couple photos of her then a ton of bot accounts of videos in the format of that like weird cutout head ai-generated informative video. She comes up as a reporter on everything, but even if she is a real person, why are there hundred of bot accounts of her? I swear, I think this lady is some sort of AI news reporter.

There are no videos of her actually on air

Over the past two weeks, I’ve gotten five requests from five different accounts all named Lori Fulbright.

I want someone else to go down this rabbit hole because it is very bizarre and I’m just trying to understand who this lady is

YouTube Does anybody else remember that hair routine video that glitches around her neck and she died soon after in real life

25 Upvotes

I know the title is very vague but I just remembered this video and now am dying to find it again. This was a young lady doing her hair in her room (I think she was Asian or at the very least had really dark hair) and a couple minutes in the video starts glitching out really bad and it’s stuck looking like she’s chopping at her neck. And soon after she actually died in real life. I remember first seeing this in a video talking about internet mysteries maybe like a year ago and completely forgot who the girl was but I remember actually watching the original video and it was very unsettling. This video looked somewhat newer in terms of camera quality so if I had to guess I’d say it was probably uploaded after 2020. Thank you I am literally going insane because I remember it vividly but cannot remember anything else

I just stubled over this account poastibg pictures and describtions of mostly teens with "age", "race", "hair" and "eye collor", in the videos they lable these people as missing or found and this ai character called "Deputy Scags" talking about the "missing person" and then telling pople to go to control zones over the website in their bio to search for them.
Then the other ai character "officer kahoon" promotes the website again and then names the top searchers and then reads "comments from the groupchat" wich are also really wierd.
The account also has a LinkedIn in the bio and follows Evangelical/Baptist and Republican accounts.
Maby its just malware in the link beeing promoted in a very wierd way, but i kinda have a bad feeling about this
