Does anyone recall a TV show around 10 years ago that shows individual people filming themselves in recluse places around the world..... but something goes terribly wrong.... and they disappear? I watched the episodes when I was younger and am eager to show my partner the series that has stayed on my mind so long. I really only remember two episodes distinctly, but like I said, they were good enough to stick in my memory for this long One episode features a guy who is making a documentary, but it is not 'professional.' it really looked like some guy took a camera with him and filmed himself. for the most part of the episode, you really only see him from the chest up. however, some way through the episode, he is 'attacked' by something (which you don't see on camera) and you later see him document his wounds. through the progression of the episode, this man slowly becomes sick (im pretty sure he mentions that something similar to a kimodo dragon attacked him, and because they have so much bacteria in their mouth, he quickly becomes sick). the end of the episode is a caption that 'the man was never found, but this footage was recorded ect' THATS THE FIRST EPISODE. THE NEXT IS MY FAVOURITE
This episode features a woman who is on the ocean with her boat, she is filming herself in a very similar way to the man in the episode previously, but hers is more like a video blog. continuing on with her story, something happens to the womans boat which stops it from running anymore (I think the propeller broke or something) this woman puts her wetsuit on ect, and ATTACHES THE CAMERA TO THE FRONT OF HER WETSUIT/VEST so you can only see an up-close-and-personal view of her neck, nose, mouth and eyes. anyway, she climbs down the ladder into the water to see what had happened to the propeller, but something come out of the water and she is dragged under. the camera is submerged in water and you see a huge amound of bubbles. the video ends and the same caption is showed at the end of the episode 'the woman was never found, but this footage was recorded' (or something to that extent) the next thing that happened in the episode after the caption is there is video of a camera in the water and people speaking a foreign language (i believe they were of 'asian' descent and it was some sort of a falling-apart fishing boat). they pick the camera up out of the water and look at it (so its an upclose shot of a man looking into the lense). the video cuts out. after that theres a video of someone filming their boat (like you were looking from his perspective) coming to an abandoned boat floating in the ocean. the people on this video are speaking English, however and talk about how weird it is that the boat is empty. they yell at the boat, trying to make contact with the occupants, but of course there is no one on board. they travel around the boat and you can hear people exclaim at bloody hand prints that they see on the side of the boat. the episode ends
I dont ever remember seeing more episodes like this, im pretty sure it was featured on Foxtel. I am 18 now, and i remember seeing this when i was between the ages of 8-9 (so 9-10 yrs ago) and the quality of the film was really poor, like someone is literally holding a camera up to their face and filming themselves. (i also live in australia and watched this in australia) It honestly stuck in my head so vividly beacuse of how REALISTIC the filming was, like it could be an actual event that happened and people have randomly discovered these video cameras lying around and released the videos found on them. I know its a long shot and i havent found anything on the internet remotely similar to what i have watched. this was my last shot at finding the Tv show or some of the film from it, because it was honestly quite cool. Please help if you can. MUCH APPRECIATED
