  In 2017, a YouTube channel called 2020 Vision uploaded a series of unsettling videos that, years later, would capture widespread attention for their eerie accuracy in the death of celebrities. These videos within the channel, created between June and August of 2017, have garnered massive social media attention due to their uncanny precision: the dates of death in these videos matched the real-life passing dates of several well-known figures, including the likes of Kobe Bryant and Chadwick Boseman. At first glance, 2020 Vision seems like the work of a clairvoyant or a fortune teller who used their mysterious abilities and foreseen the deaths of these public figures. The videos themselves are disturbingly simple: with each one features an eye blinking three times, with the date of a celebrity's death appearing before the video ends. While this might sound like a strange and unsettling phenomenon, the truth behind the channel's prediction capabilities might be far less mysti...

    We’ve discussed Kane Pixels previous work in my previous blog entry, and we already established how good of an analog horror creator he is, especially when it comes to the theme of liminal space. Despite that, I still feel the need to discuss his latest series uploaded onto YouTube, titled The Oldest View . The topic of discussion surrounding this series extends beyond the video itself, involving real historical people within it, The premise of The Oldest View begins with Wyatt, a college YouTuber, who stumbles upon an old stairwell while hiking in the woods. This seemingly innocent find leads him to an abandoned shopping mall buried nearly a mile underground. But the mall isn’t empty, something, or rather someone , is lurking. A terrifying, rolling monster made of papier-mâché begins stalking Wyatt, offering a chilling glimpse into a world where reality twists into something unrecognizable. The majority of the story follows Wyatt running away from a creepy statue the vie...

  THE BOILED PHENOMENON The Boiled One Phenomenon is another new addition to the wave of popular analog horror content on the YouTube platform. The video is a deeply disturbing tale which involves biblical references as well as real-life events within its narrative. Combine that with the disturbing imagery and audio design, the youtube creator Doctor Nowhere managed to capture the attention of horror enthusiasts, perhaps due to the blend of surrealism and terror. The story revolves around a mysterious broadcast that devastated a local community. It is a broadcast that should never have aired in the first place. The broadcast gave negative effects to those who watch them, even death in some cases. The video begins with a warning that the content that you’re about to watch may cause severe cognitohazardous effects. If you’re familiar with the SCP Foundation, you would know that cognitohazard can be defined as information that when encountered will harm the viewer in one way or anothe...
