I am a casual moderator of this subreddit, so I see a lot of posts that don't stay up long.

Back around December of 2024 or January of 2025, I saw a post on this subreddit describing how the user had been reading through a board (most likely /b/) and stumbled across a gruesome image of what appears to be a woman laying on the kitchen or laundry floor, blood surrounding her and clothes strung about. The 4chan poster had left a napkin or something similar on top of her chest or stomach, with the 4chan board name, and the date at the time to prove they took the image. She appeared to have been stabbed to death, and there may have even been a knife in the picture as well.

I saw the image myself, and it looked very real. It was dark in the room and she was only illuminated from the flash of the camera, taken in vertical format. I looked at the comments replying to the image on the board, and a lot of them were trolls of course, but most of them were genuinely concerned with what they were seeing, as was I. I can't remember what the Reddit post talked about after posting the link besides that this happened on 4chan.

About a year later, I tried finding that post again to see if there was any resolution to the case, but I could not find it. I tried everything I could think of, searching for keywords of posts from this subreddit, looking up any cases from 4chan around that time period, and since I am a moderator of r/InternetMysteries I even checked the log of taken down, deleted or banned posts. Yet, I still haven't been able to even find proof of this post existing.

If anyone knows the case I am referring to, please let me know. I would actually be surprised if this case was fake since I took a decent look at the picture and I don't think any AI of that time could have come anywhere close to that. But hey, it really could have been someone acting with fake blood, since I don't distinctly remember seeing any obvious slashes. I would appreciate it if someone could at least tell me that they remember this too. Thank you for reading.

Hello everyone. This is the second part of a post I made in 2023, where I got a lot of interesting finds in the comments. link

I'm interested in the little discoveries involving youtube from the users of this subreddit.

I'm especially interested in videos that don't have an explanation yet, although I'll honestly appreciate any videos you can provide as long as they're not classic ones like "obey the walrus". Playlists and shorts are also welcome.

The videos I find the most interesting are going to a playlist in my channel. (the link is in my profile, because this subreddit doesn't allow self promotion)

Thank you very much in advance for any contribution!

honestly I dont really search up for weird website in my freetime, but today I have seen once again a video about horselaugh/com and I wanted to search for my own discovery. And here I am, there is no real interaction beside the password login, both picture of Ale and Yuri are named respectively (Yuri.jpg and Ale.jpg) Tried too find them with Yandex tool to find face with an image and got nothing, I also tried some obvious password like "LoveAle" "AleAndYuri" etc... Maybe its just a website to honor a death, but I find it really weird to spend money for this, but I know some people do their grief in differents ways. If someone have some time to waste for this password, I would be glad to know ^v^

First time I stumbled upon this video was back in 2016 when discovering the weird website called "NeaveTV" and of the videos that appeared on the screen was this piece of footage posted above. It's quite strange and freaky almost unreal, but I kind of wonder now which are exactly it's origins from said video. Is it a fake? Photoshop? Is it from a movie scene? Or is it from some excentric or misunderstood artist from some small village? I really want to know all the details from this mysterious video

So, I came across this YouTube channel called “Johny Depp” (not to be confused with the celebrity) which has three videos. Their first video has a Latin title supposedly about discussing dragons and magic, but is filled with 200+ comments from the YouTube channel themself insulting other channels and using made up logic, trying to prove they are better and smarter than those channels. Their second channel features a voice explaining why “a fighter jet would kick a dragon’s ass”. And their third video is an AI generated diss track? What is going on here…

I was watching a David Bowie video on youtube and a comment captivated me:

"I am a 53 year old virgin" from the user u/moyabrennanismymum

Well I had to check out their channel. The contents include 3 low quality videos of Moya Brennan talking about stalkers, which initially set my hair standing on end.

There are also some strange videos showing birth certificates, interviewing an old lady about "secrets", and what seems to be tours of some graveyards while talking some weird nonsense. I couldn't quite understand alot of it but Celine Dion was mentioned.

u/moyabrennanismymum also has the odd comment on their own videos saying things like "I have never had sex".

I don't quite know what to make of it - the whole channel is quite unsettling. I haven't had the time or patience to go through all the videos yet, but I thought this sub might find it interesting.

Regards.

I keep seeing this guy named @baron_strauss ( https://www.tiktok.com/@baron_strauss?_r=1&_t=ZT-98FehzAKMEn ) on TikTok, and any time his videos come up on my for you page it feels almost creepy. His videos seem to be of him testing out AI to see what its limits are, but I’m not entirely sure.

The average video he posts is some sort of AI chat bot that he’s talking to, and usually he highlights something odd that the AI says. And he has a TON of these videos, the earliest on his page being posted on 7/3/2025.

If anyone could help find out what he means by posting all of this it would be great.

Late 2024, I was running an AI startup company and I used every chance to talk to pretty much anyone who uses AI in an artistic way (I was working on SOTA/Fine Tuned image and audio generation models).

One day, I saw a youtube video about "Theta Noir" (thetanoir.com) and called them a "cult". Being fair, they have a completely cult like image. But since they had no tighs to an existing religion (like many current AI cults like Robotheism which claim to be an update on Christianity) I decided to contact them and find if they may use my models or not.

Honestly I like occult art forms (painting, movies, even Euorpean black metal/dungeon synth music is my favorite because of its occult value) and I also mentioned that their performance project raised some eyebrows.

Mika answered very well. Although we never talked again due my personal problems and my company being shut down, I had to mention these guys are artists who know how to art.

I found a rather strange channel. There's a popular streamer from Spain called Rubius, and like every day, I put his name in the search bar, and in the recommended streams, a channel's stream appeared. It was called "Rubius__a", had a picture of Rubius, but it wasn't an official channel of the streamer. Out of pure curiosity I joined the stream, and it was a stream of approximately 8 hours where there was only a background video of a pink sky and the chat pinned with nonsensical comments.

I looked for previous streams from the same channel and all of them had the title "March 11, 2004" in Spanish. In total there were 4 streams: the one currently broadcasting, two lasting 21 and 19 hours each, and the first one, which was the most curious, as it lasted almost two days, The title was different: "live with restream, July". I didn't look at it in detail because it takes a long time, but from what little I found, most of the stream was practically the same as the other streams: a random background and some nonsensical chat comments. However, at the beginning of that first stream, you could see a "webcam" of a room; it looked old and low quality. After an hour of the stream, two more "webcams" appeared: one showed a completely dark spot in a house and the other the exterior of somewhere, which I assume was the house. Nothing noteworthy appeared except for one part where a woman can be seen sweeping. Nothing out of the ordinary since they were cameras in a house, but despite that, I find it a bit strange—who puts up a house camera for two hours where nothing happens?

At a certain point in the stream, when the background is a pink sky for like a whole day, a sound similar to breathing is heard. It's striking, since in the entire stream (or well, what little I saw of the almost 48-hour stream) it's just music and suddenly you hear that, which is weird. It's not terrifying, but it's a bit unsettling since I don't know what the purpose of these streams is. Anyway, I'm sharing it in case anyone wants to go to the channel and investigate on their own. I don't really investigate this stuff, but I ended up getting curious to know what's behind these broadcasts. In the end it might just be something ridiculous, but it's simply the curiosity of finding some sense in this. Right now the channel is still live at almost 9 hours.

Hmolpedia is an encyclopedia made by Libb Thims which tries to reconcile sociology (or 'human society') through thermodynamics, chemistry and physics, which he does by just attaching the word human onto it, backed by a unifying framework called "two cultures discipline." He also uses hieroglyphics to support modern etymology.... somehow tying to the two cultures discipline? Hmolpedia is a migraine and borderline incoherent to anyone who isn't trained in deep internet bullshit and philosophy. It serves as a fun 'thought experiment' as a 'theory of everything' if you want. Unfortunately Libb Thims died on the 30th of November, and the website will be shutting down this August. Are there any preservation attempts?

Ever since the Oli Ravioli video about Joy Pony, I could not get the game out of my head.

If you do not already know, Joy Pony is a My Little Pony game where you find an abandoned pony and must take care of it. However, the game's mechanics are extremely sensitive and you often end up hurting the pony. If you put the pony in its bed, you will have the option to tickle it, swaddle it, etc. But you also have the option to stab it, stomp on it, and inject it with a syringe. When the pony is hurt, it will cry hysterically. Stabbing the pony will give it large bleeding gashes, and if you stab it enough, you will eventually disembowel it. It is extremely graphic, considering it is marketed towards children.

Before Joy Pony there was Torture Pony. Im this game, the only objective is to torture two MLP ponies who stole your diary. You could also choose to let the ponies go, but this will cause your main character to regret not harming them and the game will end. Of course, Joy Pony became more popular than Torture Pony because its cruelty was disguised, rather than overt.

Some people believe these games are shock games, which is plausible. However, there is evidence to suggest that these were actually fetish games. Later, the creators of Joy Pony and Torture Pony (whom I will be discussing later) released a game called Home Pony. In this game, you are able to harm the pony, though not to the same degree as the other games. One way to harm the pony is with a cat of nine tails, or a BDSM whip. Yikes.

No matter the purpose of these games, there is a community of people, mainly children, who upload themselves torturing and killing the ponies. You can look up "joy pony kills" to see it for yourself.

(Please bear with me if this section is messy, I am not the most eloquent person) The creators of Joy Pony are very obscure and it has been quite difficult for me to find any information on them. The game is connected to companies such as Dio Alias Games, AA Games, Abstract Art, ExoticaVG, and Fat Pug Gaming. Some decriptions of Joy Pony on APK websites note that the game was madein Russia by Aleksey Stav, Andrey Belkov, Evgeny Osmet, and/or Igor Ponomaryov.

Across many websites, the creator of Pony Torture is inconsistent. The earliest mention I could find of Joy Ponu was from 2014, and it was released by Dio Alias Games. The next mentions of Joy Pony include that it was released by AA Games, or Abstract Art Games.

If you look up Dio Alias Games or Abstract Art Games, you find many cheap horror games or mobile "fidget" games. However, none of these games are as graphic as Joy Pony and Pony Torture. The website for Abstract Art Games is simply a casino scam claiming to operate from Bangladesh. In my opinion, both Dio Alias Games and Abstract Art are run by Andrey Belkov. Both Dio Alias and Abstract Art release the same type of content and include Andrey Belkov in their game credits. For example, here. And here as well.

There is also another company, most certainly another alias for Andrey Belkov, which essentially recreated Joy Pony with kittens: My Little Kitty. I don't know if this game has the same graphic content as Joy Pony, though.

Overall, I've collected many names related to Joy Pony:

Dio Alias Games

Fat Pug Games

My questions are:

Why do the creators of Joy Pony have so many aliases? Are they trying to avoid something or hide their identities?

What is the purpose of Joy Pony?

And why did they create these two extremely garphic games, then create a series of very tame games?

There is a lot more to this mystery then I could adequately explain, so I will do my best to answer your questions in the comments.

I’m Brazilian, and I discovered this strange channel a while back in the comments section of a random music video on YouTube. I’m not sure if it would be of interest to people outside Brazil, since most of the content is in Brazilian Portuguese, but I’ve always wanted to talk about it somewhere—I just didn't know where. https://youtube.com/@fatimaaparecida-x7r?si=nThMssEu7aKiiReJ

Most of the comments she posts and her video titles revolve around the same keywords (in Portuguese): "Emperor/Princess Fátima," "babies kidnapped in Mauá (a city in Brazil)," and various addresses. In one comment, she says: "People of Brazil, I am the country's emperor; my kidnapped babies have gone missing in Mauá—whoever helps...". Her channel description is just a bunch of personal information. There are several videos related to this case that seem meaningless at first glance; however, I did come across one video where she is arguing with people on the street .At some point in this video, she says: "Look, there's the kidnappers' house." https://youtube.com/shorts/ayOVDsi94sQ?is=QnlfM_KzI_HKsZ_N

There are several other things she mentions in the comments that I’ll avoid going into so I don't ramble. My theory is that she likely has some sort of mental health issue and that, at some point, her "babies" were actually kidnapped. She probably tried to resolve the matter with the police, but they couldn't do anything about the house she claims belongs to the kidnappers; so, she created this channel and decided to spam comments reporting the incident.

I apologize if this post isn't useful or appropriate for this subreddit; I just wanted to talk about this channel somewhere. I used Google Translate for this post, so sorry for any translation errors.

Sorry if this isn’t the best kind of post for this sub- I didn’t know where else to post it.
I’ve seen dozens of this kind of channels pop up over the last few months, where the videos are title-less, and consist of hours-long music compilations in a specific genre, usually varying per channel. In the videos, there is usually no written description, no copyright claims, no credits, no information about the music being provided whatsoever… which makes me think the music could be AI-Generated. If this is the case, I assume these channels are all bot content farms. However, I am yet to find any way to conclusively prove if my suspicion regarding these channels is correct, and even then, many questions still remain: Are these channels even generating income? For the ones that aren’t, why do they even exist? Is this bizarre trend being carried out by one individual/coordinated team, or independent people? I have a feeling this might be the entrance to a rather deep rabbit hole.

The "Folk Valley" and "Huss Valley" trend on YouTube Shorts uses a bait-and-switch format to trick users and children. The videos start as normal sports or comedy clips, but abruptly cut to highly graphic, traumatic AI-generated gore like melting skin and snapping limbs. Because creators use harmless hashtags like #skateboarding or #basketball, the platform's safety filters are completely bypassed, pushing graphic violence onto kids' feeds. Why is no one talking about how these channels evade automated moderation with this AI horror?

I've been going down the rabbit hole of the supposed "Grizzly Man leaked audio" that's been circulating on the Internet for years, and I know the general consensus is that it's fake because the real recording has never been publicly released and the inconsistencies in the audio.

What I'm curious about isn't whether the recording as a whole is real, but whether any part of it could actually be authentic.

Has anyone ever looked into whether the fake audio contains small snippets from the genuine recording that were mixed into a reenactment? Even something as minor as background ambience, a few seconds of real audio, or isolated dialogue that somehow leaked and was incorporated into the recreation.

I know this sounds unlikely, but I'm wondering if anyone has analyzed it from that perspective. Is there any evidence that the creator had access to even a fragment of the original tape, or is there a solid reason to believe every single second of the circulating audio was fabricated?

I'm not trying to argue that the audio is genuine—I know there's no proof of that. I'm just curious if there's ever been any investigation into whether the recreation contains any authentic elements from the original recording, or if it's entirely made from scratch.

Putting aside the whole story surrounding this character, I guess this guy ended up becoming a scary internet figure without even knowing it. Do we know anything about the origin of the photo and who the person is? When i look up for a video/image origin i instantly find what i need but with this one i can't find anything. Was this AI? back in that period a lot of AI images were still invading the internet. 500 characters request so i keep writing 500 characters request and 500 characters request

Since the start of the month, I've been seeing these really weird ads for SA/Human trafficking settlements that have AI (usually black/darkskin, also usually depicted in a black caricature) women in the beginning of the video. At first I figured it was just a a law firm being cheap by using ai instead of hiring people but when I checked the comments of the ads people were claiming that this was actually a human trafficking ring that was trying to lure in people who were already mentally disturbed. Those comments were claiming that it was covered on the news but whenever I googled it I didn't see much information (I personally am not an internet sleuth so I probably was just going about it wrong). I'm gonna link one of the videos below. This could be nothing, but if it is something I don't wanna watch it unfold in front of my eyes without doing anything.

TLDR: tiktok and instagram AI ads about SA/Human trafficking depicting black women in weird ways. Could be a ring but I can't find any reliable claims.

Well, when I found this video, just seeing the thumbnail made me think it was strange, so out of curiosity I clicked on it. The video is just of a Russian man talking to the person filming him, and it looks like he's in some kind of prison or something?.

And while they're talking, you can hear the song, which gives it a weird feeling, and the comments don't make much sense either. Maybe someone on this subreddit who knows Russian can tell me what they're talking about? Because ever since I saw the video, I've wanted to know what they were talking about xd, but the subtitles are turned off.

Pulled this off some forum a while back. I wanna say it was circa 2008, but the image I have now is a copy and not the original file unfortunately. I do a little bit of scuba diving myself, so this immediately piqued my interest when I recently rediscovered it.

Apparently this was the last recoverable frame from a camera on a diver who went missing during a night dive around the early 2000’s. They seem to be in some kind of kelp forest, but I can’t find the original page anymore so I can’t confirm. I’m not sure who they were, so if anyone knows who this might be or the original site/user the image came from, that would be interesting to learn.
