Welcome to Another Installment of Strange and Disturbing Videos featuring the Mysterious and Surreally Creepy Polish Web Series Magiczny Swiat Ani (which Translates to The Magical World of Ania). The Grim Story Centers around the Mysterious Disappearance of a Girl Named Ania, and of Her Friends and Family as They try to Find Out what happened to Her.

Series Description:

Anna is 165 cm tall, straight blond hair with fringe and blue eyes. To date, she has not contacted her familly or friends. If you have any information regarding Anna Slowinska, please contact us immediately.”

This is most definitely one of the most Complex Series I have ever encountered, and I’ve encountered more than a few. The Series Video’s include Codes, Hidden Social Media Pages, Cryptic Imagery, and Uses a variety of various Languages from around the World to convey certain clues. The Format for this Post is Simple: There will First be the Video and Under each Video I will Include any Information that I have come across while Researching the Series.

Enjoy. (Note To The Viewer: You May want to Enable the Closed Caption Option or Not it’s Up to You).

• Does it Mean the Kidnapper will Only Stop when He’s Dead?
• Does the Title Supreme Being to let the Viewer know that like So Many Serial Killers the Kidnapper is Egotistical, Narcissistic, and/or Megalomaniacs? This would Explain the Title as it would mean the Kidnapper sees Himself as God or a God at Least.

• Does the Scene of a Girl (Ania?) who loses Her Teeth (which are one of several reoccurring Themes), Collapses on the Ground, and is Covered with Vegetation. Why Though? Did She Die of Starvation or Trying to Escape Her Capture and was Murdered for Her Effort? Is this scene supposed to convey the Kidnapper is Physically Abusive or again Possible a Serial Killer?!

• The Video End with Yet Another Interview with a Woman who claims She found Pictures of Ania in the Trash along with Her Diary.

Title: Inhale

Description: NONE.

• The Video Opens with Several Porcelain Legs sticking out of the Ground and then Followed by More Porcelain Heads (Porcelain Reoccurring Theme).
• There is a Scene with What We can Assume is The Actual Real Life Ania hanging Out with Some Random Guy (Is this the Inappropriate Person Krystyna talked about in Her Interview?) Could this Be One of the Aforementioned Cult Members or the Ania’s Actual Abductor?
• The Video Ends with Two of its Ongoing Themes being Teeth and Dolls.

Title: What The Eye Does Not See

Description: What is it for anyways?

• The First Thing Noticeable is the Description is a Repeat  of Video Six’s, But What is the Point/Meaning of using the Same Description for Two Entirely Different Videos?
• The Video Opens with a Shot of Outer Space and the Word KOSMOS written in Greek.
• The Next Word that appears with the Shots of the Woods NATURA which is an Italian which is Defined as: In the Nature of Things in the Woods of Nature as Distinguished from the World of Human Beings: In the Realm of Material Things.
• The Next Word to Follow is Magia the Spanish word for Magic.
• Then the Word Aura in English which means: The Distinctive Atmosphere or Quality that Seems to Surround and be Generated by a Person/Living Creature.
• Then 2 Words appear on the Screen the First is EZO which is Ania in Turkish.
• The Second Word on the Screen Below EZO is the Word SWIAT which is Hungarian for World.
• Do all these Various Languages correlate with Ania’s Abduction? Are they Clues to Places Ania has been or taken To?

• In the Video there is a Close Up of a Man’s Bloody Eyes as He preforms some sort of Ritual. The Ritual apparently is a type of Energy Ritual (Remember the Word Aura appears earlier in the Video).
• During the Video a Woman’s Voice Recites a Series of Numbers. Unfortunately I haven’t been able as of Yet to find a Decoding of the Numerical Code.
• During the Images of a Woman sort of Dancing or Swaying rather with Her hair Obscuring Her Face there is an Unidentified Woman doing an Interview. In the Interview She discusses how She had Cancer and Cured it.
• Again there are Shots of the Creepy Subterranean Dugeon during which the Viewer can hear the Distinct Sound of a Old School Telephone’s “Out of Order” Tones.
• There is a Shot of a Table with Crystals (that in all actuality look very much like Himalayan Sea Salt Lamps), and One Falls breaking when it Lands. Something Wafts out of the Broken Crystal and by My Best Guess is supposed to be Magic, a Magical Force, or Magical Powers.

          

• During the Video the Viewer can Her Distinct Human Footsteps and a Classic Sliding Prison Door Opening. Is a Captive be Taken Out or a has a New Captive been Abducted?!
• There is a Scene later on in the Video where a Woman Identifies Suspect #4 from a Police Suspect Line up. Could Suspect #4 be one of the Inappropriate People Ania was Seeing? Are They Cult Members? Could this in fact be the Eerie Hobo?!
• During the Shot of the Mountains there are More Numerical Code, and again I have Unfortunately been Unable to Find a Decoded Version as of Yet.
• The Video ends with Some Shirtless Guy Wearing a Gas Mask Freaking Out as if the Gas Mask is Stuck and the Man is Frantically/Desperately trying to Free Himself From It. Again Who is this fucking Guy, and what’s with the fucking Gas Mask?!

ADITIONAL BONUS  SHIT!!!!

Here is the Translated Newspaper From One of the Tumblr Pages:

Regained identity

The police announced that the woman’s body which was found on May 20th in a suburban forest has been identified. The relatives of the woman confirmed the identity of the deceased as Irena Kornacka, 39 years old. The body was found by the scouts who were camping nearby. “First we smelled that terrible stink. Then as we approached that lake, where those old sun loungers were, Matthew saw that something was floating in the water. As we came closer we saw that it was a dead body. The whole thing was swollen, and on his neck we could see somethink like a leather belt. Our team leader ordered us to go back to the camp immediately and he headed to the store to call the police” – says Kacper Kurek, one of the scouts who found the corpse.Irena Kornacka was last seen on May 7th. She has been treated for cancer for several years and her mental condition was poor. That is why the investigators initially suspected suicide. The autopsy however, excluded suicide as the reason of death and confirmed the involvement of third parties. We learned unofficially that the corpse had got all the teeth removed in unexplained circumstances. This in combination with the advanced state of the decay greatly delayed the identification.

…whoever knows.
On May 29th. a 20 year old student Anna Słowińska went missing. She was seen in the evening of May 27th at her home. Anna is about 165 cm tall, has straight blond hair, blue eyes. To date, she has not contacted her familly or friends. If you have any information regarding Anna Slowinska, please contact the police or our office immediately.

The Translated Narrative From One Of The Tumblr Pages:

Today, (i.e. 31.05.93) in the course of my duties, I intervied the residents of the building, where the missing woman and her mother are living. During the interview of Maria Bednarska (flat no 42), I determined that on the morning preceding the day when Anna Słowińska went missing (i.e. 28.05.93), she was involved in an event she described as unusual, the course of the mentioned event as follows: on the square in front of the building she got hit and overturned to the ground by a running young man, age 20-25 years. Mrs. Bednarska said that the young man was running north from the south, across the square towards the street, between the buildings and toward the tram stop. Mrs. Bednarska claims that she does not know the identity of the young man. She is sure he is not a resident of the building she lives in. She claims to have remembered his face and that she would be able to identify him.

In the course of further activities carried out in the flat of the missing woman, several newspaper clippings regarding the murder of Irena Kornacka were found in her room. There is a separate investigation being conducted regarding Irena Kornacka case. In light of the evidence gathered there are no grounds at the moment to link the two investigations.

Interpretations and Hypotheses:

The Real Abduction: The Series could be Linked to a Real Life Abduction and possible Murder. This Hypothesis is Based on the Existence of a Facebook Pageant Newspaper Clippings that Display Missing Person Pictures for Anna Slowinska. Both of which Directly Coincide with the Series Itself.

The Cult Hypothesis: This is Based on the Concept that the Inappropriate Person/People Ania was associating with were in Reality Cult Members. Also there is Ania’s Friend Krystyna’s Story about How Ania was almost Abducted as a Child by a Mysterious Man (this led Krystyna to believe a Cult was Watching and Following Ania). There is also the distinct possibility that Ania may have decided to Run Away and Live in the Woods with The Other Cult Members VOLUNTARILY of Her Own Free Will. In All Honesty once You watch Video Six You see the Temples in the Woods are Inhabited Solely by Women in Latex Masks it DOES NOT Seem to be at all Voluntary in the Least.

                  

The Fashion Interpretation: This Interpretation was posed by a User Named Greenland Is Evil on Their Sub Reddit. This starts with Video One and the Heavy Use of the Color Red which in this Case Represents Evil. In Episode Four the Doll Crying in Front of the Cameras could Symbolize Ania and the possible pressures of Fame in the High Pressure Fashion World. In The Second Video of the Series Ania is a Small Child walking with a Man who We can assume here is Her Father. Ania’s Father’s Face is Splashed with Red and Ania appears to be Struggling to Keep Up Appearances in the Public Eye. In Episode Four the Interviewee claims Ania was Stressed Out and Visibly Losing Weight to Keep Up Her Appearance (which is a Factor of being in the World of Fame and Fashion). The Strange Man that Appears in the Videos could be a Representation of the World Ania has to Endure due to Her Job in Fashion. The Man in the Videos is Obsessed with Capturing Perfection that is Represented by the Porcelain Dolls.

Simple Abduction Hypothesis: This is Very Similar to the Fashion Interpretation with One Major Difference is the Elimination of the Allegory Aspect. In this Hypothesis Ania could very well be just a Regular Person Wo is Unhappy with Her Life and is Depressed. The Cameras then would be Symbolic of Ania’s Social Life. As We all Know by Now with Social Media and Cell Phones People’s Privacy has Diminished to a Spectacular Degree.

                  

Escapist Interpretation: Did Ania Run Off into the Woods to Escape the Immense Pressure(s) of Her Life, and Accidentally Ran into the Part of the Forrest Inhabited by the Creepy Hobo inadvertently becoming one of His Captives? Once Ania as Captured by the Hobo She was Kept Hidden Deep in the Wood Totally Isolated from the Rest of the World. The Hobo is His Captives Only Source of Survival for His Victims and is Represented in Episode Five. If His Victims are Dead or Alive since all the Hobo gives a flying fuck about is PERFECTION/THE PURSUIT OF PERFECTION.

The Underground Sex Ring: This Hypothesis is pretty Straight Forward in the Belief is the Series Showcases the DOLL FETISHISM. Doll Fetishism is a Sexual Fetish in which Individual is Attracted to Dolls and Doll like Objects such as Figurines. The Attraction may Include the Desire for Actual Sexual Contact with a Doll, a Fantasy of a Sexual Encounter with an Animate or Inanimate Doll, Encounters between Dolls Themselves, or sexual Pleasure gained from Thoughts of being Transformed or Transforming Another into a Doll. Doll Fetishism is a Form of Agalmatophilia, which is Itself a Form of Object Sexuality.
