Creepy Youtube Channels

By soman GoswamiPublished about a year ago 4 min read

The internet is full of weird, interesting, and mysterious content. But YouTube has the prize for intrigue. In its years, this platform has become a hotbed for some of the most mysterious channels, making its viewers scratch their heads for answers. From cryptic messages to scary video edits, these six mysterious YouTube channels are guaranteed to fuel your curiosity. Let's enter the world of the unexplained.

1. Unfavorable Semicircle

The Mystery: Unfavorable Semicircle was first launched in 2015 and shocked everyone within minutes with its strange content. Thousands of mysterious videos started to pop up on the channel overnight, each one containing different numbers, letters, or symbols. Most of the videos contained either awful audio distortions or dead silence.

  • Some of the videos lasted just a few frames long, while others went on for hours.
  • A bunch of wild theories have been sparked even from the name of this particular channel, including alien language communication or secret government experiments.
  • This channel was mysteriously removed by YouTube in 2016, but a plenty of mystery has been provided with archived content.

Theories: Many say it had an art project, others asserting the hidden message, and other many, which are just for people and still, nothing related to Unfavorable Semicircle's purpose could be known to this day.

2. Cicada 3301

The Enigma: Although not YouTube born, Cicada 3301 gained widespread prominence from the platform as very cryptic puzzles were thrown open. The most complex and enigmatic internet puzzle to date, this challenge on the internet dates back to 2012 when cryptic codes, cryptographies, and esoteric cultural references found their online debut.

something you need to know:

  • Many YouTubers attempted to unravel these mysteries and documented the process.
  • The riddles involved digging deep into literature, music, mathematics, and even around locations all around the world.
  • Cicada said it needed "intelligent individuals" for a purpose that was not made known.

Theories: It has been said that Cicada 3301 is a tool to recruit people by government agencies, or maybe the work of a hacker collective, or even a secret society. Its YouTube footprint is part of the mystique of itself.

3. Dad (Dad Feels)

The Mystery: On the surface, Dad—a.k.a. Dad Feels—seems to be some kind of surreal canal surrounding a mechanical, suburban father figure. The more bizarre it gets the more you dig. It's a canal with an alternate reality storyline featuring oddball characters and the quest for "maximum good."

Key Highlights:

  • It brings in music, dance, and surreal comedy into its obscure narrative.
  • Dad talks in the most robotic voice ever and quite often drops some sort of references to "The Void."
  • Fans have found a secret code and an Easter egg in the video, and this has triggered wild speculations.

Theories: Some say that Dad is an experiment, while others said that it is a work of modern art. The guy who made the channel, Nathan Barnatt, has said little about what the video series is for.

4. AlanTutorial

The mystery: AlanTutorial was just a seemingly harmless channel wherein a guy by the name of Alan began churning out rather primitive "how-to" videos. Eventually, though, the contents started turning dark. Videos began appearing with Alan inside some locked room, weeping to be freed.

Key Takeaways:

  • Early videos of the channel like "How to Pick Up a Blue Chair" appear to be made low budget and awkward intentionally.
  • As the show progresses, Alan seems to become increasingly mentally unstable, casting a spooked ambiance over it.
  • The enigmatic persona of the channel has made quite a few wonder if it's just an act or really something that is happening.

Theories: The author believes AlanTutorial is an allegory of mental disease. Others believe that this is a well-scripted drama. The real intent of the channel the author has not disclosed it yet.

5. Webdriver Torso

The Mystery: Webdriver Torso must be one of the most notorious mysteries witnessed on YouTube. It started way back in 2013 by uploading more than 77,000 videos containing random geometric shapes and tones. The monotonous nature of these videos led to mass speculations over what this channel might be for.

Things to Know:

  • Each video packed colored rectangles across the screen with high-pitched beeps.
  • A regular upload schedule from this channel only fed the gossip mill, because people thought it had some sort of automatic system running behind it.
  • Google only last year, 2014, finally admitted that Webdriver Torso was just one part of an internal testing on the quality of YouTube videos-but nobody's buying it

Theories: While that may sound good enough to many, conspiracy theorists believe that the channel consists of nothing but spy communications or other alien signals.

6. Marble Hornets

The Mystery: Marble Hornets is one of the oldest and most popular YouTube horror series. It started in 2009, and it's about a filmmaker trying to uncover what happened to his friend, while at the same time being followed by an invisible figure referred to as "The Operator," an Slender Man-like creature.

Things to Know:

  • It's presented as a "found footage" storyline, which increases its credibility.
  • Cryptic titles, veiled clues, and creepy imagery make up the videos of Marble Hornets.
  • The enormous online community of theorists deconstructs every single detail it spawns.

Theories: Though proven to be a fictional web series, Marble Hornets's realistic presentation and viral success have inspired many imitators while having left a long-term mark on the horror genre.

Why These Channels Are Captivating Audiences

Here are the things that give mysterious YouTubers such pull to blur reality and fiction so that one thinks creatively enough to uncover the hidden clues and formulate his own idea. Be they works of art or authentic puzzles, these YouTube channels are inimitably reminding us that there's still a lot left that the internet can do-it wonder.

If you like mysteries, then maybe you'll want to watch through each of these six channels because one day you might get some secret information for which the owners will not uncover for ages.
