A turkey circle around a dead cat. Very odd bird behavior.

A group of wild turkeys has been see circling around a dead cat in the street and it's very strange indeed.

The Hamburger Lady - Creepy Deep Web Video Explained

The Hamburger Lady video is meant to have been pulled from the deep web some time ago and has had a lot of speculation over where it comes from.  If you are unsure on what the deep web is then this diagram should help make it clear.  There are layers to the internet at different accessibility levels.  The lower levels are the deep web and are not accessible on a normal browser.  These are the Tor networks and you need the Tor browser to find them.

I have seen people saying that it's a cursed video, one of those "if you watch it you will die in three days" things.  I have heard some say the story behind it was real and it was made by the orderly or the doctor or even the spirit of the Hamburger Lady herself.  

The story is about a woman in a hospital suffering from major burns all over her body.  The doctor has written a journal entry about her and the way her flesh looks like hamburger meat.  He speaks of taking turns caring for her in her suffering and how an orderly was sick all over the floor from dealing with her.

I have had a dig around and I found a few things out about this video.  It is creepy for sure, that we know, but what is the real story of it and was she a real person?  Click below to watch my explanation video and see the original video taken from the deep web.

This is a very strange site.  Can you get through all 99 rooms?  I got to 37.  This is probably one of those for a dark night on your own with the headphones on.

ARG's

Wiki says "An alternate reality game (ARG) is an interactive networked narrative that uses the real world as a platform and uses transmedia storytelling to deliver a story that may be altered by players' ideas or actions."

You can find a few of these on YouTube and below is one that seems only have been running since January this year. I will be highlighting a few others in later posts.

The games normally consist of codes and hidden clues and secrets that people have to work out and follow to find a message or meaning behind it all.

This channel uses Hex code along with others.  You can find decoders on the net just by Google searching for them.

I have not yet seen all the way through this channel myself but I am working my way through and have decoded some of the Hex in earlier videos.  The video 'Nervous Hex.avi' is numbers and letter read backwards.  I downloaded the sounds and ran it through Audacity to flip it.  Then I typed them in to a converter online and it said 'Northampton State Hospital Hassachusetts'.  No idea if the typo is intentional or not.  This is just an example of the kind of thing you might be looking for to follow an ARG.

UPDATE: I have gone through more of Slob Room and the channel has changed now with the creator talking about ARG's and YouTube channels.......still in the mask though.

Sitting and Smiling

A YouTube channel that does exactly what it says on the tin.  

Benjamin Bennet is a performance artist who has been performing sitting and smiling for a VERY long time.  He puts on his web cam, gets comfortable and then he sits and smiles and nothing more......for four hours.

The first video is dated July the 28th 2014 and to date there are 219 videos (at the time of writing this, with the last one being added three hours ago).

In that time he has had a couple of slight problems.  In one episode he forgot to go pee before starting and wets himself, but the really crazy one is early on.  Episode 5 has a special guest.  He is sat there doing his thing when someone breaks in to his house and opens the door behind him.  What does he do?  He sits and smiles.

UPDATE: I am currently sat here watching Sitting and Smiling on live steam #221  There is something even more unsettling about it when it's actually live.  Knowing he is sat there right now with that creepy smile and his eyes burning a hole in to my soul.

Human ice-pop

I have seen plenty of cases where people become frozen and then thaw out to survive but this one really takes the biscuit.

19 year old Jean Hilliard ended up walking in the snow after her car broke down.  She was frozen solid....but lived.

Unusual funerals

There are some strange funerals out there and here are just seven of them.  What do you think about posing the dead as they were in life?  I quite like it.

YYYYYYY Random Insanity

This one is a bit of silliness.  Everything seems to be random and changes every time you refresh the page.  Lots of colours, images, animations and sounds.

Elisa Lam - The girl in the water tank

On February 19th 2013 the naked body of 21 year old Elisa Lam was found in the water tank on the roof at The Cecil Hotel in LA. Residents had been complaining that the water was running slow, had an odd taste and was looking a little brown so the tank was checked and there she was.

She was last seen alive on January 21st and once she was found they checked over the video from the lift and found this.  No one has been able to pin down exactly what she is doing or why but the theories are all over the net.  The most accepted one is some kind of mental episode due to her background with depression and bipolar disorder and the four medications she was taking for it.  It was ruled that she died of accidental drowning which they do believe was most likely self inflicted.

There are still a lot of questions around the case though as to how she managed to get up there to the roof, how she managed to get in the tank and how she managed to drown in it unassisted.  Some people believe there is someone unseen in this video that is the cause of her freak out while others have suggested demonic possession.  There are even conspiracy theories about her being involved in something to do with Tuberculosis research as the vaccine for it is called Lam-Elisa.  Thoughts?

The WOW signal - Radio from Space

Jerry Ehman, a radio astronomer, was looking through data collected by The Big Ear Telescope in 1977 and he came across something staggering.  This was done in the search for any communication from alien life.  He made the freak discovery on the data print out, circled it in red pen and wrote 'WOW!' next to it, thus the WOW signal was born.

The Big Ear was listening for radio waves from an area of sky near the constellation of Sagittarius.  The data print outs were a visual representation of the sounds it was collecting.  In all the 1's and 2's on the print out, Jerry saw 6EQUJ5.  This is the actual recording that was picked up.

The same patch of sky has been listened to for years to see if anything else comes from it, but nothing ever has.  It's estimated that the distance the signal traveled to get to us was 200 light years.  This means the signal would have taken 200 years from being transmitted to the day it actually reached us.  If we send one back it will take 200 years to get back to them.

We may never know where the signal came from or who sent it.  It looks like this is another mystery we will never solve.
