Welcome to Today’s FYB Video featuring the Insane and Original THE GRIFTER. This is one of those Videos that some People would Label “Nightmare Fuel”, and with is Unnerving Audio, Bizarre Imagery, and Ominous Feel it’s Easy to See Why Some People would say that. THE GRIFTER is one of those Almost Mythical pseudo Creepypasta that has Garnered a Great Deal of Attention, Speculation, and Tons of Wannabe Explanation Videos over the Years.
As the Story goes Perspective Viewers are Severely Warned NOT to watch THE GRIFTER because the Images in the Video will Linger in Their Minds for the Rest of Their fucking Lives. Some Alleged Side Effects can include Loss of Appetite, Insomnia, Alienate Yourself from Friends/Family, Vivid Nightmares that Boarded on Full Blown Night Terrors, Hallucinations, and Psychological Trauma among Other Things. That’s Not all as One Person claimed that Their Friend watched THE GRIFTER and Ultimately Committed Suicide by Slitting His Wrists. While Another Person claimed that All Previous Viewers of THE GRIFTER have been Murdered in Their Homes.
It’s Alleged that THE GRIFTER video Depicts a Horrendous Murder, Brutal Torture, Demonology, Cryptic Cult, and Human Sacrifices consisting of Babies. Well all We can say on this is We Watched THE GRIFTER Numerous Times and that’s one Hell of a List of Sick Shit in a Video with a Total Run Time of 68 Seconds. Now While all these Twisted Topics provide the Viewers with a Morbid Curiosity are They Actually Real?! We think it is Far Beyond Safe to assume these Ideas are/were Derived from People’s Imagination After Watching and Nothing Else.
This little piece of creepy creativity originated on the Dark Web and is known as The Spinning Man. While I appreciate fear driven horror I much prefer more creepy surreal insanity. I like creepy shit because it worms its way into your brain like a maggot into a dead animal carcass, and slowly feeds gnawing away at your subconscious. Creepy is the kind of shit that sticks in your head if you like it or not (and lets face it there really is no actual like about it, but more of a morbid appreciation) lingering inside your minds eye until you wished it go blind. To put it simply creepy is like dog shit on the bottom of your shoe in its a real bitch to get rid of and can push you to your limit. Fear can be forgotten where as creepy endures the test of time.
Now while your first instinct would be to immediately dismiss this video as just a bit of dark fuckery that is not necessarily the case. What it does is provide an exercise in the realm of creepy shit.
The exercise is simple: Watch the video several times consecutively, and while you do so focus on the eyes/lock eyes with the Smiling Man as he spins.
Welcome to FYB’s Wednesday Post featuring BLANK ROOM SOUP 3 (Abduction) along with BLANK ROOM SOUP 4 (Hidden Location). Now for Those Who may Not Know We did an Extensive Piece on BLANK ROOM SOUP.AVI which was the Original Blank Room Soup Video. In Addition to the BLANK ROOM SOUP.AVI Video and the “Sequel” BLANK ROOM SOUP 2 TORTURE. To be Totally Honest the BLANK ROOM SOUP AVI/ BLANK ROOM SOUP 2 TORTURE is one of My Top Three Favorite Posts I’ve Done here at FYB. If You haven’t Checked Out the Original Post I SERIOUSLY SUGGEST YOU DO SO NOW.
With that Said I was more than Excited when it was Brought to My Attention that there was in Fact Two more Installments to the BLANK ROOM SOUP Saga. I immediately looked Them Up with Great Anticipation first BLANK ROOM SOUP 3 (Abduction) and then BLANK ROOM SOUP 4 (Hidden Location). What I found was Something Odd that much is True, but it was also a bit Anti Climactic. Now before I Go To Far here is a BRIEF Recap for Those just Joining Us.
BLANK ROOM SOUP.AVI : A Man Sits at a Table in a Empty Sterile White Room sitting at a table Sobbing Away while Eating a Mysterious Soup. The Man is Not Alone there are To Individuals in Elaborate Costumes are Present. The Two Costumed Individuals Attempt to Comfort the Crying Man as He chokes Down Spoon Full after Spoon Full of the Sinister Soup. The Costumed Individuals are Eerily Rub the Mans Back, Pat His Head, and Have Sympathetic Mannerisms/Body Language (Although They appear to be the Ones Holding this Poor Man Hostage in the First Place).
BLANK ROOM SOUP 2 TORTURE : While the Title is Ominous there is No Actual Torture it’s more or Less an Implication. Again Same Man, Same Room, and Still Forcing Himself to Eat the Sickening Soup. This Time though the Camera has been Moved to the Left so the Viewer can See a Blackened Doorway in the Far Left Corner of the Screen. A Costumed Individual Slides into the room Hugging the Wall and Stands just Next to the Side of the Doorway. A Second Costumed Individual Enters Standing in the Doorway as the Man looks over His Shoulder in Fear. After standing Motionless Momentarily the Costumed Individual in the Doorway Suddenly Bum Rushes the Man from Behind, the Screen Goes Black, and We Hear Him Yell Out in Surprise before the Audio Cuts Out at the End.
With that Out of the Way I will say that BLANK ROOM SOUP 3 (Abduction) and BLANK ROOM SOUP (Hidden Location) are Something Completely Different. I think it’s Appropriate that You watch BRS 3 (Abduction) and BRS 4 (Hidden Location) before I get into I do the Whole Compare and Contrast Deal between the First Two BRS Videos and the Second Set of BRS Videos.
Enjoy.
My Two Cents:
I don’t believe that the First Two BRS Videos have a goddamn thing to due with BRS 3 and BRS 4 that is I don’t think this is a Series.
The Drastic Difference in the Two Separate Sets of BRS Videos are so absolutely different Aesthetically that it reminds Me of the Vast Cinematic Difference in the Tom Six Films Human Centipede 1 vs. Human Centipede 2.
The Runtimes are Also Extremely Different in BRS.AVI has a Runtime of 1:06 and BRS 2 Torture tops out at 1:07. In Comparison BRS 3 (Abduction) is a minuscule 10 Seconds Total and BRS 4 (Hidden Location) has a total Runtime of just a Mere 11 Seconds.
The thing that I can’t get out of My Head. While the Second Set of BRS Videos are Significantly Shorter than the Initial Set They do Share Something in Common with the First Two Videos. Like the First BRS Videos the Second Set also have a One Second Difference in Their Runtime just like the Original Two BRS Videos.
I have the Sneaking Suspicion (especially with No Current Viable Information which isn’t all that Odd considering it took Years before BRS.AVI blew up on Facebook and Youtube) that BRS 3 and BRS 4 where made by a Different Person/People then the Original Two BRS Videos. I Believe the reason being BRS 3 and BRS 4 are fucking Rip Offs that are trying to Capitalize on the Phenomenon created by BRS.AVI.
The Break Down: BLANK ROOM SOUP 3 (Abduction)
The Camera Work is Really Shitty, The Camera isn’t Steady, The Lighting is complete shit, the Picture is Grainy/Blurry as the World’s Shittiest Auto Focus on the Obviously Outdated or Older Tech.
The Hostage looks like the Bastard Offspring of a Circus Ring Master and Willy fucking Wonka.
The Hostage is Acting and Doing a Truly Shitty Job Shuffling Around like a Bad imitation of a Drunk. All I’m saying is if I was Kidnapped and Shit by Motherfuckers in Elaborate Costumes I’d be Struggling and in spite of being Gaged would make as Much Noise as I could. Meanwhile the Will Wonka Ring Master just lolly gags through the Shot even looking at the Camera at one Point which is an Acting No No.
The Location is also Randomly Out of Place as it appears to be some Dirty, Dark, and Disgusting Back Ally or some shit.
The Shit Camera Work is due to the Fact there is a Camera Man where in the First Two Original BRS Videos more than likely were shot using a Standard Tripod thus keeping the Shot Steady.
The Costumed Individual Acts Nothing like the 2 Individuals in the First Two BRS Videos. There is No Interaction with the Hostage (other than awkwardly pushing him Across the Screen) and Seems to have No Actual Purpose other than to Play the Classic Role of Bad Guy/Kidnapper. The Sutle Nuances aren’t there its just Basic as Basic Gets. There is No Deeper Meaning or Reason to BRS 3 it’s seems to be just Generic Shock Type Content. As a Viewer I have No Vested Interest in anything as the Video is Purely a Face Value Scenario.
The Breakdown: BLANK ROOM SOUP 4 (Hidden Location)
First Off What the Fuck does “Hidden Location” Supposed to mean since Someone with a Camera found it and Filmed it Catching The Costumed Individual Standing to the Side in the Shadows.
Basically I won’t waste Your Time so to Sum it Up BRS 4 it has the Same issues as BRS 3 in Shitty Camera Work, Old Ass Tech, Out of Place Location, Abnormally Acting Costumed Individual (who lets face it is standing there for Sheer Creep Factor), Shitty Audio, and Crap Acting.
I doubt it but this could be Someone Ripping off BRS and Trying to Use the Concept to Launch Their Own ARG. I say this because for the Sake of Argument One could Say that The Hostage from BRS 3 is being Held at the So Called “Hidden Location”. If this is the Case it’s not Only Unoriginal Artistic Plagiarism it’s also Done in a Exceptionable Shitty Fashion.
Well That’s All I have to Say on the Subject So I’m Off into the Wild Blue Yonder.
This Little Bit of Creepy Footage was Allegedly Found Lurking Somewhere on The Dark Web.
The Video Starts with Someone Switching Off a Light Switch, and then the Viewer Can See a Humanoid Creature Barely Visible sitting in Almost Pitch Blackness. There is Absolutely No fucking Context Here so What is Going On and What it May Be are Limited Only by Your Own Imagination. Was The Creature a Ghoul, Ghost, Mutant, Monster, Alien, Devil, Demon, Inter Dimensional Being, or a Person Person Who the Hell Knows.
This Video Referred to as MaMa was Allegedly a Video from the Dark Web. Now Sometimes Various Dark Web Videos borrow Clips from Non Dark Web Videos (Example: The Dark Web Video “Obey The Walrus” used Bootlegged Footage from a Performer who goes by the Name The Goddess Bunny) and This Video is One of Those. Granted without Context the Video is Seriously More Creepy and Unnerving.
The Truth Behind the Video is it’s a Movement/Motion Test for Actor Javier Botet who Plays the Ghost dubbed “MaMa” in Award Winning Mexican Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro’s Supernatural Thriller of the Same Name. Actor Javier Botet has Marfan Syndrome which Allows Him to Move in Ridiculously Creepy Ways. Marfan Syndrome is an Inherited Disorder that Affects Connective Tissue- the Fibers that Support and Anchor Your Organs and Other Structures in Your Body. The Wires in the Video are used to Manipulate Javier like a Human Marionette on Top of His already Disturbing Performance. It’s worth Noting that CGI Effects were Added to the MAMA Character though Many People Objected stating Javier Botet’s Original Performance was FAR Creepier than with the Additional CGI.
The Movie MaMa is a Haunting Tale of Two Girls (Victoria and Lilly) who Disappeared into the Woods the Day Their Parents were Killed. When the Girls are Rescued Years Later and begin a New Life, They find that Someone or Something still wants to come Tuck Them In at Night.
Below is First the MAMA Movement/Motion Test Footage Followed by a Clip from the Movie in which the Character MAMA is Revealed, and Lastly is Guillermo del Toro’s MAMA Movie Trailer #2.
Welcome to Another Installment of Dark Wed Videos (or in this case Audio) know simply as THE OLD TAPE.
Back Story:
In 1994-1995, Some Unknown Person or People Hijacked Colombia University’s WKCR Radio Signal and Proceeded to Play some Disturbing Noises. A Voice can be heard which seems to be Reading Obituaries, Including that of Robert Oppenheimer, Whois also Known as The Father of The Atomic Bomb.
This Broadcast has Perplexed Many for Years- the Source has been Debated/Argued to be Anything from a Secret Government Radio Transmission, Military Experiments, Supernatural Communication by Ghost, and even proof of Alien Contact.
The Following is what an Anonymous User Wrote in a Weird Page of 4chan.org:
“Around 1995, I was about 15. I used to Stay Up Late in My Room listening to the Radio on a Boombox with an Integrated Tape Recorder. I’d Dial through the Stations, and when I heard Something Interesting I’d Hit Record for a While, then Move On.
One Night, I came across this. I Don’t think this was the Beginning of the Broadcast, but I caught a lot of it. Right at The End, an Announcer says that the Station I was Tuned to was WKCR 89.9 New York. There a Bunch of Names and Dates in there, but…I’ve NEVER Run into Anything Else like This.”
Alright this Video is a Bit Different in We couldn’t find a damn thing Pertaining to it. No Information like when was it Posted and By Who or Has Anyone Uncovered Any Information or Possible Hypothesizes. This was a First for Us as We rather Pride Ourselves on Not just Providing the Video(s) Themselves, BUT Any and All Information We uncover About it as Well (Lets Face it Any Idiot can Post a Video and Call it a Day).
Now let’s dress the Obvious right off the Bat which is We all are well aware that the Internet is Full of a Great Deal of Bullshit. The Internet is the Embodiment of the Cliche “You Can’t Believe Everything You Read.” too a fucking T. There is so Much Bullshit it’s posses the Content Question is what I’m seeing/watching Real or just another Hoax, Joke, Art Project or Movie/Video Game Promotion?!
It’s for this Reason We pose this Question to Our Fans: In the Sea of Online Bullshit Nowadays wouldn’t it be Easy for Some to Post something thats Actually Real (and fucked up) without Consequence or Concern? What We mean is Since People have become so cynical Online They would just simply Disregard twitch an Automatic Assumption that it’s Fake. Point is No One would Question it for the Most Part thus allowing a possible real life Criminal to Avoid Capture. As for the small handful of People who think there’s something serious Wrong are dismissed as Nut Jobs or Conspiracy Theorists.
Also this is a Prime Example where People use 2 different Words interchangeably as if They mean the Same thing when they Do Not. The Deep Web and the Dark Web ARE TWO COMPLETELY SEPARATE THINGS. So whoever Labeled this Video did so Mistakenly as It’s the Dark Web that Deals in Some Seriously Sick Shit. As for the Deep Web it’s rather Benign consisting Primarily of Government Documents, Scientific Research Studies, and Other Obscure Academia.
There Several Aspects that Set this Particular Kidnapped/Hostage Video that separates it from the Heard. First off This Video is in Color, Not Black and White or Some Shitty Night Vision Crap Effect. The Video also Shows essentially the Entire room the You Girl is Allegedly being Held it. Usually in these Type of Videos most everything is Cloaked in Shadow so there little to No Additional Details can be seen by the Viewer. The Lighting in this Video is that of any Normal Room, again it’s not all Dark and Vague, You can see Everything in the Video Clearly for the most Part.
The Camera is also Stationary like its been mounted like a CCTV or Security Camera where usually the Camera work is Wobbly, Shaky, and tends to Jump Around all over the Place as the Camera swings around wildly between Glimpses of this or that. Lastly there is No Audio in this Video where usually in these type of Videos They Created utilizes Primal Screams, Whimpers, Crying, or smoother Sinister Sounding Noise Like a Metal Door Slamming Shut or some Haunted House Shit like that.
Heres a Run Down of the Video:
Opens with the Young Girl Sleeping on the Floor in a Sleeping Bag.
a Box/Container is Thrown into the Room Startling the Sleeping Girl.
The Girls Sits Indian Style and Snack on Some Type of Food.
The Camera Cuts to a Later where the Girl is Staring into the Camera like an Exhausted Drugged Up Zombie.
The Girl returns to the Sleeping Bag.
The Camera Cuts again to a Later scene of the Girl with Her back to the Camera for some Reason.
The Girls begins to Write on Something.
The Girl then Holds up a Sign for the Camera that says “I have 2 days of Food Left There is No/Not Water”
Girl flips over the sign and I don’t know if the Video Quality is a bit Shitty (Blurry) or if its just a Shitty Service Here in the Woods. Anyway the Second side of the Sign Appears to Say Something to the Effect that if anyone sees this (her sign) to come Save Her. IT DOES say in the lower left corner of the Sign “Help Me”.
Then the Girl opens the Box/Container from Earlier.
Once She Opens it She flips the Fuck Out and Bolts to the Left side of the Screen where She appears to grab a Pole of some sort. She then Holds it like a Spear in a Self Defense Stance.
The Girl then abandons Her “Weapon” and runs full speed across the Room to the Right Side of the Screen. There She Scrambles in the Corner as if Trying to Climb Up to Escape Something.
She then makes a Panicked Plea to the Camera while Waving Her Arms, but without Audio We have No Idea what She is Saying.
Video Cuts Off/ Ends
So You’ll just once Again have to Watch and Decide for Yourself if You think the Following Video is just another Hoax/Art Project or Could it Possibly Be Real and Camouflaged by all the Bullshit?!
Welcome to this Installment of Dark Web Video Featuring CORPUS CHRISTUS!
First off the Name is sort of a Shock Type Tactic as it’s a Play on the Latin Corpus Christi which translates into The Body of Christ, but that’s Not All. It turns Out Corpus Christus is in Fact the Stop Motion Nightmare By the wonderfully Demented David Hatch (Who Directed, Produced, and Animated Lobotomy for Hatch Films). Corpus Christus is actually Hatch’s 2005 Video Tilted Lobotomy with the Video’s Beginning and Ending Credits Edited Out. WE thought it Only Fare to Post Both Videos as Proof so Below You will Find Corpus Christus followed by Lobotomy.

Plot: A Man going through the Aging Process is Tended to By a Series of Demonically looking and Tortured Mechanical Minions throughout His Life.
Possible Themes:
It could be a Religious Commentary about How much Horrible Shit has been committed in the Name of God.
It could be a Social Commentary about Battling /Coping with One’s Inner Demons or about not letting Your age Define You or Possible its about Regret.
It could be about the Aging Process in that from the Moment We are Born are Bodies are Aging, and as They do They start to Wear Out, Break Down, and Fail. That and with more Recent Medical Developments People are Living Longer than Ever, but How can We Keep Our Bodies Maintained trough a Longer Existence?!
Welcome to this Installment of Dark Web Videos Featuring THE HAMBURGER LADY!
While this Video was Dredged Up from the Abyss known as The Dark Web No One can be certain of its exact Origins.
Many People have claimed the Video is Cursed or Possessed in someway that will Negatively Affect Viewers. Others believe it was made by a Group of Satanists or some Devil Worshipping Death Cult. Even others claim it causes Insomnia, Paranoia, Nightmares, Disorientation, and overall feeling of Dread and Impending Doom. Others yet claim it’s Part of a Military or Government Experiment in Mind Control and Psychological Manipulation. Some even believe its a Coded Message from The Illuminati or New World Order (NWO).
The Narrator of The Hamburger Lady seems to be a Medical Professional or Specialist who is chronicling/Discussing the Case of One of Their Patients Who has been Severely Burned from the Waist Up.
As it Turns Out the Infamous Hamburger Lady is Based on a Fictitious Doctor’s Letter written by Postal Artist Blaster Al Ackerman in 1978.
Postal Art (or Mail Art) is a Popular Artistic Movement centered on Sending Small Scale Works of Art through the Postal Service.
Media commonly used by Postal Artists include but not limited to Postcards, a Collage, of Found or Recycled Objects, Rubber Stamps, Artist Created Stamps (called Artistamps), and Paint BUT can Also Include Music, Sound Art, Poetry, or ANYTHING that can be put in an Envelope and Sent Via The Postal Service.
The same Year (1978) Pioneering Industrial Band Throbbing Gristle released their Third and Final Album titled “D.o.A” featuring a Song Called The Hamburger Lady which used Samples of Ackerman’s Fake Doctor’s Letter pertaining to a Fictitious Burn Victim read aloud.
Throbbing Gristles’s Philosophy was Unconventional in that they Believed ANYTHING that makes a Sound is an Instrument, and if You can make the Sound then You are a Musician.
Below You will find the Dark Web Video The Hamburger Lady followed by Throbbing Gristle’s song The Hamburger Lady.
Enjoy.
Throbbing Gristle “Hamburger Lady” off Their Album D.o.A
Welcome to Yet Another Dose of Disturbing Dark Web Videos Featuring: THE GRIFTER! Is the Grifter just a Prop for a CreepyPasta OR Could it be Proof of Illegal Human Experimentation?! Decide For Yourselves.
The Story Goes that the Video was first mentioned on 4Chan’s X Image Board.
The Very First Copy of The Actual Grifter Video was posted on September 8, 2009 by a user Named Jojacob666
The First Thread for The Grifter stated “A Video so Disturbing that it would take a HUGE Toll on the Mental State of Anyone Who Watched it.
The Second Thread pertaining to The Grifter referenced the Video in greater Detail Referencing “A Bath Tub Full of Maggots”, ‘Text in a Different Language”, and “A Cradle with a Child in It.” the Writer also wrote an Warning stating watching The Grifter is a Soul Rendering Experience Far More Horrible than Anything You Can Imagine.
The Strange Text that appears towards the End of the Video is written in the International Auxiliary Language Esperanto.
International Auxiliary Languages (IALs) are Languages Constructed with the Aim of Facilitating Communication between People who would Otherwise have No Other Language in Common. They are designed to be Significantly Simpler, and thus more Easily Learnt, then National or “Natural” Languages.
Esperanto has become “The Most Outlandishly Successful invented Language ever” and is the Most Widely Spoken Constructed International Auxiliary Language. Esperanto is believed to be one of Fifty Languages that are Most Used Internationally.
The Message that appears towards the end of the Video Translates to: “This Child is Still Alive and Now a Young Man living in a Local Shelter (Name Not Given). He Never Spoke and is still in a Catatonic State.”
