* DarkerAndEdgier: The series as a whole, "Once Upon a Time at 2Fort" and "Ghosts of the Past" included, is arguably THE DARKEST ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' {{Machinima}} since "A Cult of Personality", trading the remaining action and comedy for pure horror and family-unfriendly content.

''Ghosts of the Past'' is a ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' {{Machinima}} created by [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoucqSnxFAcT_D_VGytpKMA Konstantine Rymaruk]] following a BLU Scout's descent into madness after a traumatic experience at 2Fort.
The series begins with ''Once Upon a Time in 2Fort'', a five minute video submission for the Saxxy Awards. Despite not winning a Saxxy, the video was highly popular, prompting Konstantine to follow up with an 11 minute conclusion.
After the success of ''2Fort'', Konstantine released a video titled ''Ghosts of the Past - Episode 1'', and announced a five episode series along with it. The series was then extended to seven episodes later on, each video being released several months after the previous one. They can be viewed on [=YouTube=] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT43k37eOM8&list=PLuJlFxNoN-hnIODWg18U6MuPqAJfgJWL4&index=1 here]].
