If you thought this was unsettling, you haven't seen or heard anything from them yet...
This channel pretty much specializes in invoking this throughout all of their episodes, in one way or another. Even if you're highly skeptical towards the allegedly supernatural elements of these stories, they can still be creepy enough when you consider that a large amount of the reported deaths and disappearances actually did happen in real life.
- As seen on the image on the right, Stocksbridge Bypass is haunted by a number of entities, including this Faceless monk, who is best known for getting in the ways of people driving their cars in the middle of the night, said to be causing too many car accidents to count. At times, it's also been reported by these same people that he can be seen inside your car, in the backseat. The worst part? It wasn't until several sightings later that witnesses realized that he doesn't even have a face at all, yet they still felt like they were being watched.
- And if that wasn't terrifying enough, this same ghost is said to be responsible for a number of deaths by car accident on that same road, such as the one mentioned at the beginning of the episode said ghost appeared in. Now imagine his blank face being the last thing you see in your life...
- Celle Neues Rathaus. A Leaking Can of Evil where Those Wacky Nazis conducted paranormal experiments on Jewish prisoners within the basement areas of the building. In fact, it's so bad, that even long after World War II and the Cold War ended, there's still reported paranormal activity on the grounds of the hall.
- But probably the worst of the stories related to this very building is the one where 3 US Navy divers were sent to investigate the flooded basement section of the hall. After half an hour of investigating, 2 of the divers mysteriously didn't resurface. Then, the 3rd diver comes back up, but he's apparently shaken. It takes a full 2 hours for him to finally tell the others what exactly had transpired. It turns out that when he reached the 3rd basement level, he found what exactly the SS had been doing there, which is to say, mangled corpses, including a goat's head strapped onto the headless corpse of a man. Suffice to say, he got heavily traumatized from seeing it. And that's not the end of this, since he also reported that he was being stalked by something not long after finding the corpses.
- Being the unwitting victim of an Alien Abduction. Chances are The Greys will perform random, likely painful, experiments on whoever they capture, usually resulting in the poor victim getting killed in a horrible manner, as is the case with Zigmund Adamski and the poor man from Brazil. Others, like Elizabeth Murray, while lucky enough to survive the entire ordeal, are left so emotionally damaged that they would rather take their own life than be forced to recount their experiences. And then there's the people who never even realized that they were abducted at all, only finding out days, weeks, or even months after the incident. One has to wonder what exactly these aliens did to them, not helped by said aliens' Blue-and-Orange Morality.
- The Dyatlov Pass three-parter, but especially the second part. While the story itself, especially the Creepypasta version, is already pretty scary, the creators of the show were able to turn the horror up a notch by presenting us with brief still-shots of illustrations of the hikers' corpses, all the while continuing the same, cold, and deadpan narration. To say it can and will send chills down people's spines is an understatement.
- The third part manages to make the entire incident somehow even scarier, by explaining in detail just how a supposedly minor weather condition, in this case a descending wind. Despite the lack of anything supernatural or paranormal in this episode, it still manages to be a nightmarish scenario.
- The Ourang Medan, a Ghost Ship found drifting just outside the Malacca Strait. First, a very unsettling Distress Call is received by nearby ships, ending with the Communications Officer typing "...I die..." just before messages stop entirely. This causes some concern for the authorities, so they alert any and all ships nearby to look for and help the ship that sent the message. Eventually, an American freighter called the Silver Star finds the ship, but when they try to communicate with the other crew, they get no response whatsoever.
- And when a search party is sent to investigate, they get the shock of their lives. They find the entire crew, dead, including the aforementioned comms officer slumped in his chair, with his hand still at the telegraph. Not only that, but all of them apparently died writhing in pain, as their faces and expressions are all showing them in agony. For obvious reasons, none of the Silver Star crew wanted to stay long onboard.
- The creatures in "There is Something In The Water" qualify. While the alleged continued existence of extinct large predators such as Megalodon and Mosasaurs is already unsettling, the fact that we don't actually know what's actually under most of Earth's oceans is even worse. Highlights in this episode include the opening title card, showing a massive oil tanker being stalked by an even larger sea creature, and the Ningen, a cryptid that has a very creepy feeling to it.
- The entire story of Michael Taylor, who goes from an ordinary man living a simple life to one of the most infamous examples of Demonic Possession in just the span of two months.
- The kicker is the ending, where it's mentioned that while the priests who did his exorcism were able to remove most of the demons inside of him, they were unable to remove 3 such demons. Worse, the episode also mentions that the Anglican Church of England also made a vow never to do exorcisms following the controversy of Michael's trial.
- Not to mention the ending image and narration of this episode, which breaks the traditional format of the episodes by presenting us a Jump Scare with Michael's face
becoming distorted and twisted, along with the implications that he may still very well be harboring those 3 remaining demons inside of him. Which is also directly related to what happened to his wife shortly after the exorcism.
- The fate of Elisa Lam, which isn't unlike the plot of Dark Water. While it has already been told many times on the internet, this channel's take on this unsolved mystery is pretty bone-chilling, especially the part where a maintenance worker at the hotel she was last seen staying in finds her mangled corpse inside the water tank, where we're treated to a series of jump scares.
- The Mothman. A mysterious cryptid that terrorized Point Pleasant, West Virginia for a year. But the most terrifying thing about it is the blood-curdling screech it makes when attacking. And if that wasn't terrifying enough about it, it also had large glowing red eyes, was 7 feet tall, and was very much capable of chasing after people in cars at full speed.
- Lucas Villa's entire ordeal in "The Evil Within", which arguably counts as the scariest account of a Demonic Possession in the series thus far. When he and his friends are caught by the former's parents playing with an Ouija Board, he unknowingly ends up summoning something, later revealed to be this tall, thin, and black figure. At first, he starts having random objects in his house go missing...only to find them just hours later. Then things start to take a turn for the worse, when he starts having recurring nightmares where the aforementioned black figure approaches him and starts strangling him.
- The Grinning Man, aka Indrid Cold. A mysterious, otherworldly being, baffling many as to whether it is a Humanoid Abomination or Humanoid Alien. According to some, he is a member of The Men in Black. Others say he is closely related to the Mothman mentioned above. While others say that he is a supernatural being said to stalk people in the dead of night. Whatever he, or it, is, the one thing everyone will undeniably mention about him is his malicious Slasher Smile.
- The episode focusing on the Wendigo. While the legend of an evil spirit turning regular people into cannibalistic Humanoid Abominations is already terrifying enough, the accompanying modern eyewitness accounts and alleged video evidence shown later in the same episode just makes it worse. Among other things, it can mimic the voice of a person's loved ones, stalk people's homes in the dead of winter and at night, and terrify even the most experienced of outdoorsmen, even when they're armed.
- The Shadow People, living shadows with a malevolent nature to them, said to stalk people in the dead of night whilst they sleep, or a foreboding of disaster. As the narrator says at the end of their titular episode, you should hope not to see one at all.
- The titular "The Nameless Horror of Berkely Square". A (comparatively) pint-sized Eldritch Abomination resembling an octopus that's more than capable of frightening and even killing armed men and trained sailors, and is considered to be The Dreaded in an already well-known haunted house with an already frightening Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl.
- The aforementioned ghost girl herself is pretty darn scary, especially when the first 5 minutes of this episode show her randomly appearing and disappearing during the narration of the stories behind her haunting.
- The entire premise of "Enemy Unknown". The initial experiences of HMAS Hobart, US aircraft and American patrol boats facing nigh-undefeatable and immensely powerful UFOs is already bad enough. There's also the fact that the UFOs attack both US and North Vietnamese forces, absolutely destroying a Viet Cong camp with weapons that reduce supplies to ash, burn guerrillas alive and melt weapons. But then there's the final tale in the video. Imagine being a US Special Forces soldier with years of combat training and experience suddenly facing a completely unknown and alien threat that's Immune to Bullets, who can slaughter entire bomber crews without leaving any traces behind. It's pretty much the plot of Predator, but taken up to eleven and set during the already-nightmarish Vietnam War.
- "The Ghost of UB-65" is pretty darn unsettling. Take the already hellish conditions of World War I, on a U-boat no less, and add in the vengeful spirit of a recently deceased officer, and you get this nightmare on the high seas. The hauntings got so bad that a number of crew members who witnessed the dead officer were either injured or died from the stress of seeing the apparation. But the worst scenario is during the titular submarine's loss in 1918, when the U-boat mysteriously sinks and explodes even before an American submarine can torpedo it, with the last thing witnessed by the American sub's captain being a German officer standing on the deck, heavily implied to be the ghost of the deceased officer.
- "There is Something in the Desert". Like "Enemy Unknown", it focuses on groups of American servicemen, who are well-equipped and heavily-armed to deal with all sorts of enemies and dangerous situations. Despite this, these soldiers also come under assault from forces completely unknown to them, which prove to be just as deadly as any insurgent or terrorist they come up against. These enemies range from a Humanoid Abomination that can wipe out an entire armed group of insurgents, to 12-feet giants capable of wiping out a squad of unsuspecting soldiers.
- Paul Mueller, aka "The Man From The Train". Unlike most Serial Killers, he doesn't brag about his kills nor take trophies of his victims, he chooses to remain obscure. What's more, he also looks and acts pretty unassuming, him being a Gonk notwithstanding. He takes this to full advantage to blend in as just another man in rural America looking for work, killing his victims when his hidden urges come out, and leaves not long after by taking a train into the next town over and continuing his vicious cycle. Which he does for over a decade. And unlike the Wests, he escapes justice entirely, and is even considered as a suspect in the Hinterkaifeck murders, given the way the Grubers were killed was similar to how Mueller killed his victims.
- Paul Mueller’s Slasher Smile in “The Man from the Train” (Part 2). He goes from unremarkable person to full on Ax-Crazy in the span of seconds...
- "The Body on the Reservoir" and "The Strange Death of Jonathan Lovette" both detail mysterious deaths in which the victims turned up horribly mutilated in a manner similar to animal mutilations often attributed to aliens. In the former case, the artistic representation of the body is awful even in black and white without any gory detail; the narration says that there are crime scene and autopsy photos of the body online if you're willing to look, but out of respect for the victim and his family, they will not show them on the channel. The idea posited that both victims were alive and aware, without any known anesthetic, while they were being mutilated is also nightmarish.
- "There Is Something In The Woods"; a series so chilling that it required a two-parter. Gah, just the thought of a malevolent spirit lurking in US national parks, causing you to disappear of the face of the earth, becoming one of the thousands of Americans whose vanishings still haunt the nation to this day. And no skills you possess can save you from the thing causing these disappearances. This was the unsettling conclusion reached by a professional police officer and investigator researching said disappearances. The only potential warning is 'The Silence', an eerie happening triggered by the total lack of sound from animals and even the weather, forcing humanity's fight or flight instinct to kick in and flee the area. The comments on both videos have hundreds of individuals recounting their own experiences with 'The Silence' on camping, fishing, and hunting trips, and such experiences can happen to anyone.
- Both parts of "Tales from Skinwalker Ranch" are terrifying. The supernatural and paranormal creatures terrorizing the Sherman family are numerous, ranging from Animalistic Abominations that are Immune to Bullets, to Humanoid Abominations leaping out of portals in the dead of night, to a Flying Saucer aware of people stalking it. The end results are numerous dead cattle and dogs, usually killed via mutilation or being vaporized to the point that nothing is left. Even when a research team consisting of scientists and skeptics is sent in to investigate and hopefully stop the strange activity, it just continues, with the paranormal and supernatural phenomena apparently aware of their intentions and even being one step ahead of them each time.
- Stardust Ranch in "Intruders" would probably make the Skinwalker Ranch look like paradise by comparison. While the aliens that visited Skinwalker Ranch were (mostly) content with focusing on their activity of cattle mutilations and abduction if they weren't provoked, the aliens here take things a step further by constantly harassing and attempting to abduct the owners any chance they got, even after John Edmonds, owner of the ranch, kills several of them. And this goes on for twenty years, before the owners finally had enough and sold the property in 2016.
- In "The Legend of the Bell Witch" has the Bell family tormented by the ghost of "Kate" which goes on for years until family patriarch John Bell's death from poisoning. In the scene detailing Bell's death, a Freeze-Frame Bonus shows that in the upper right corner of the screen, Kate's disembodied head is looking through the reflection of John Bell's window.
- The story of Joao Presetes Filho ("The Burning Man of Brazil"). A 44-year-old Brazilian farmer after returning home from fishing is struck by a beam of yellow light. While this only lasts a couple of seconds, it causes the man severe pain to the point where he can barely walk. As he is leaving his house, he realizes that the bottom of his feet are bleeding and his skin is starting to peel away. It got so bad to the point where a police officer thought the man was a corpse by the time he arrived. The video manages to make this even worse by showing the audience the man on his deathbed as he gradually starts to fall apart (thanks to the show's Art Evolution) and he's dead within nine hours of the initial encounter with the light with much of his skin melted away.
- Both encounters in "The Kentucky Goblins" two-parter were pretty disturbing. Goblin-looking creatures Immune to Bullets stalking you and your children? Check. Weird looking " bald children" messing around your property? You bet. But probably the worst of the things depicted here was from the second part. A pair of vague and mysterious e-mails were sent by one "Terry Wriste" to paranormal investigator Greg Newkirk. The second e-mail listed some numbers, later revealed to be GPS coordinates, which revealed the site of an Abandoned Mine that Greg, his wife, and a handful of camera crew had investigated months prior to the sending. This was despite Greg and his wife never divulged to anyone else about that trip, much less about the mine in question. It was pretty much a taunt by the mysterious sender to Greg, as they demanded they quit investigating whatever they were delving into in Hellier, Kentucky. What is even stranger about the email is how different it is from the original author as the email has grammar errors, is less direct, and has spelling errors that are consistent with someone who's just learned a second language but isn't as articulate as they would normally be in their native language. The fact that Dr. David Christie, a man asking Greg for help after The Greys began disturbing his property in the aforementioned town, was never heard from again after stating his plan to attack them, should already send chills down one's spine...Hellier was just a symptom. The ink and black are isolated still and 3rd order m.i.a. Bare in mind for every door closed a window must be opened. The door is closed. The window is open.
- "The New York Nuke", compared to the other "Mysteries of the Third Reich" stories, presents a much more realistic nightmare than previous videos that depicted either a hidden base in the arctic or "Die Glocke". The idea that the Nazis almost dropped a nuclear weapon in New York, a highly populated location in the United States, is outright horrifying to think. Also unlike those past videos, that plane crash in Owl's Head suggests that almost actually happened...
- Near the end of "Davy Jones’ Locker" there’s an account of a victim (called “Grandpa”) of a shipwreck whose body was well-preserved in the remains of the ship for decades after this disaster. At the very end, it’s recounted that divers claimed to see his corpse move every time they’re near him. This story is mentioned over a display of the skeletonized corpse within the ship, which starts to move slowly towards the camera before the episode ends with the corpse giving a Nightmare Face at the audience. Sweet dreams.
- Aside from the ghosts of the numerous fallen workers in "The Hoosac Tunnel Hauntings", there's the various Cruel and Unusual Death scenarios of the workers themselves. Imagine being trapped in a deep, underground well, slowly dying of oxygen deprivation. If that isn't horrifying enough, try to imagine being trapped there alongside your dead and dying co-workers.
- The numerous ghosts themselves aren't any better. Many of them are so filled with negative emotions, they've driven quite a few other, still living, workers into going mad to the point they drive the men to join them in death.
- The story of the "Entity of Tsarichina", of the titular creature. Whether an Eldritch Abomination or an alien, whatever it is is something genuinely terrifying. From psychic messages to attracting the attention of other aliens and monsters, whatever this creature is, it's fortunate that it's currently buried in Bulgaria.
- The final segment of the episode focusing on the Nanjing Battalion's disappearance is pretty darn unsettling. While most takes on the Ramree Island Incident would attribute the massive Japanese Army losses to Saltwater crocodiles and diseases like Malaria, this series instead takes a far more nightmarish turn by depicting Japanese soldiers being attacked by Eldritch Abominations living deep inside the Burmese swamps.
- "There is Something on the Moon" explores stories and beliefs that the moon is home to aliens, aliens who do not want humans to explore it. One image, including the title screen, depicts a Russian cosmonaut whose helmet was shattered opens with part of his face mutilated and red blood shown. There's also the theory the moon isn't really a proper moon at all, but a space station or ship of some kind, with something sinister on the inside.
- "The Ariel School Encounter", in which one of the aliens glares into the eyes of the children, whose POV is where the audience is watching. As it depicts the images of the dystopian future, the alien moves in closer. This makes it seem like the alien is fully aware of the audience.
- "The Mad Gasser of Mattoon" can make you feel unsafe just trying to sleep at night in your own home. Imagine doing just that, when a Malevolent Masked Man sprays some chemical through your window which causes you and your family to become violently ill and then runs off into the night with no other fanfare. Now imagine that the same masked figure is doing this repeatedly, to innocent people all over your town, for no reason at all.
- "The Demons on the Fringe" will make the viewer dread the idea of dying in a hospital out of fear that one of these dark entities would be coming for them. The story of Martin Kirk, having just had heart surgery, featured him being harassed by dark entities with spindly arms reaching out for him. It was terrifying enough that even after leaving the hospital he came to fear what he will see once he takes his last breath. Jessica Martinez, meanwhile, saw these horrific entities speaking with people, potentially causing nightmares, without any indication they knew she could see them. The nameless nurse witnessed a dark entity apparently killing her patient, clarifying these "demons" had ill intent. Even Richard's closing line can cause the viewer's spine to shiver.In any case, whether these beings are real or imagined, they are no less terrifying to the person who sees them. If they are imagined, it is still an extremely disturbing experience and maybe we need to investigate why so many people have such similar hallucinations. However, if they are real, well, that is another story entirely.
- "The Devil in the Doll" is NOT a video to watch if you suffer from pediophobia (fear of dolls). The tales of Robert, Mary and Letta are unsettling enough, but the end where all three dolls are sitting together can send shivers down your spine... especially when one by one each of them suddenly change positions and look at the viewer.
- Both "Highways or Horror" videos detail events one does not want to encounter when driving at night.
- First video: The second story of the barking man, while the animation might not entirely be that convincing, is still a very unsettling sight to see. The third story, however, is far more terrifying. The slim men in black, known on some internet circles as the "DC Paper Men", were unbelievable uncanny in their appearance that the deliveryman who encountered them had to insist he saw nothing. He remains convinced they were not human.
- Second video: Being potentially chased by a ghost or having a hitchhiker ghost in your car is scary enough, the other two take the cake. The third story about one man's encounter with the Kuntilinak, with the animation showing the young woman's face going from neutral to a small smile and becoming a grotesque and terrifying monster. The final story, however, is among the most terrifying of the entire channel. The main reason being there is No Ending. The witness had encountered a strange creature that he insisted was a deer despite that there are none that deep in the Australian Outback. There is no theories as to what this creature is, no narration closing out, only the artist's own idea of what it could have looked like, it just ends with the unknown creature onscreen as the narrator states the witness was Driven to Suicide due to how horrified he was from seeing this thing. Its black, soulless, hopeless eyes haunted him so much that he took his own life. Some have speculated that the creature's very intent was to force him to kill himself.
- The Lurking Horror: Giant, venomous spiders that prey on humans. The image previewing the episode on Twitter even reads "Arachnophobes, step forward..." as if to make it clear this African cryptid, the J'ba Fofi, will crawl in their nightmares forever... While the video brings up the regular issues with a spider that large existing in real life (their inefficient respiratory systems and their heavy exoskeletons being the big problem), the narrator also points out that aquatic arthropods that large do exist… and the huge spiders tend to be seen not far from a water source. However, that does not explain the web-like substance or the fact that few people have died from venom, something creatures like crabs do not have. If you're an arachnophobe and you decide to watch this... have fun sleeping.
