      That moment was so perfect lmao, it was genuinely funny and reflects the viewers' feelings while watching with a reasonable in-universe explanation while also giving us a moment of relief as someone who was just set up as our POV character for the time being does the obviously correct thing to do in this situation and gets the fuck right outta there, just before letting us know that there's still horror yet to be experienced ahead and we're gonna be stuck in one place in a creepy ass house viewing it.

      @@novemberiscoolithink it's an anime game with a couple child characters so obviously you're gonna get some weirdos in there being gross weirdos. The game itself is actually pretty tame and very rarely takes an overly horny approach to anything.
      It's not 100% pay to win. Many players have never spent a dime on the game and have very good teams. Obviously dumping money into the game with fast track you into a great team but gameplay and team composition are much more important than just having the shiny thing. The game gives you several free characters too and a bunch of free pulls from just playing through the story. Though if gacha games aren't your cup of tea (as in focusing on dailies and seasonal events and slow grinding) then maybe pass or stick to the main storyline. The pay to win aspect only matters for the Challenge Mode area called The Spiral Abyss. Everything else is pretty easy

    Everyone talks about the "Victim's corpse is seen being tampered with by invisible force", but I personally can not get over the whole "Distraught at the sight of her missing infant." Every time it happens, chills run down my spine. The way it looks like she's just ascending, which could be somewhat funny, just to have all the humour ripped off to reveal the dark truth of it all, is probably one of the most disturbing things in this series. I also love the line, because distraught at the SIGHT of her missing infant implies that she found him, but realised something was wrong. This subtly hints at the reveal that Adam was an alternate, meaning Lynn wasn't depressed, she contracted M.A.D.. The song used also perfectly sets the scene. Yes, it's very unnerving, and helps with the tone, but there's something I noticed. In this piece, there is the high, castrato voice, but also the instrumental piano behind. This piano was taken from Bach's Prelude in C Major. You know where else this song appears?
    Right at the end of Vol. 333, when The Alternate catches up to Thatcher.
    Not only does this support the theory that Adam made The Alternate into being, but it also ties together this small part of this amazing series.
    Also the rest of the episode is pretty great.

      The fact that it’s funny at first and the placement of the objects even makes it look like a meme made in this day and age makes it scarier for me. It shows that the alternates perceive this as entertaining and funny. To them, this is a joke. It’s sick entertainment to them.

    The singing heard at 1:35 is a 1902 recording of Alessandro Moreschi. He was a castrato, which is a boy who has been castrated in before puberty in order to retain a high-pitched and powerful voice when singing. He was the one of the last of his kind, and the only one to ever have his voice recorded so that we can hear it today.
    The fact that Alex decided to use this specific audio recording for this video brings a whole new unsettling layer to this video.

      I feel like the reason why alternates don't kill children is because they are incapable of doing so. What i mean is that the alternates main attack is psychological, which means that they can make people kill themselves. A typical young child is not familiar of self-harm, suicide, murder, etc. So they won't do it because they don't know what that is. If a child ever faces an alternate it would be expected that they would scream, cry, etc. but they won't kill themselves. What the alternates do is that they wait until the children grow up. So my theory is that young kids are basically invincible to alternates until they get older.

    A lot of this happens to be centered around fear. For example, during the emergency operator scene in the other video, it says not to talk too much, for you might show your fear. Additionally, in this episode, "Scary Imagery" happens to be the last topic considered unsafe for young children before it cuts to the "they exist on different spectrums" screen. Also, the mother takes her own life after losing her child, possibly as a result of immense fear (or just a natural but grim result of what happened.) The contents shown on the TV may have been too scary for the infant, causing it to disappear, possibly taken by something.
    There are two main theories I've got here.
    1. Some event has caused fear to create extreme homicidal and suicidal tendencies, and these mentally changed people are referred to as "Alternates."
    2. There are creatures (perhaps the Alternates) that attempt to mimic human lifeforms, the first type just being there to root itself into a family or relationship, the last being creatures that exist possibly just to *scare* people. Perhaps the fear attracts the Alternates, or in the case of the infant, the power to manifest nearby and kidnap/kill you. EDIT: At the time of typing this, I've just now realized that maybe the Alternates are actually just entities that possess the ability to manipulate and edit video media, all in the purpose of scaring the viewer (maybe even us!) which adds onto the theory that these creatures feed off of fear and/or use it as a weapon to reach their victims. The recurring face may be a representation of the entity, mocking us because it knows that if we, the viewers, are watching it, that means that it's spread to a much, much larger scale than just TVs.
    I only discovered this recently, so forgive me for any misconceptions. If there's anything you want to add to this or change, please let me know in the replies.

    I don't know if anyone's already pointed this out, but if you turn on Closed Captions (which in this case, are generated automatically by RUclips), it recognizes the alarm at 2:48 as "Laughter", which I find excruciatingly creepy.
    But even creepier than that, just at the very last frame, when it says on screen that this "must not be released to the public for any reason", it just captions it as "you".
    Would be scary if it was part of the creator's plan, but the fact that, again, these are AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED makes it horrifying.

    1. Stanley talks to Adam Murray when he’s a kid, causing him to create an Alternate that isn’t in complete form. It’s twisted and doesn’t resemble anyone.
    2. The alternate hurts and most likely kills Mrs. Murray, and remains unmoving.
    3. Jude Murray calls Thatcher Davis for help, as Adam’s alternate couldn’t have possibly broken in without his knowledge.
    4. Police Investigator is sent to collect evidence and observe the house, but decides to run.
    5. When Thatcher calls Ruth for backup, the Alternate most likely speaks to Jude, infecting him with M.A.D.
    6. Jude kills himself (Hence the suicide investigation) before help can arrive.
    7. Police officer sets up the camera system, sees Jude’s corpse being tampered with by the alternate. The Alternate is deemed unidentifiable, and since it doesn’t resemble anyone, they assume that it can’t possibly be an alternate.
    8. Ruth and Tatcher inspect the house, resulting it Ruth’s death. With that, the Alternate begins to take form, and follows Thatcher back to his precinct.

    Might as well give my interpretation of this
    The alternates are seemingly fully sentient and intelligent, as we heard in volume one that they’re capable of speech, and it’s also mentioned that they have some sort of psychic power, which probably explains things like the ‘kill yourself’ message in the THINK principle, the scary night story and the TV alternate shown in this episode. They take pleasure in killing and seem to gain an advantage by knowing what their chosen victim is afraid of, most likely due to allowing them to use their psychic abilities to their full extent. It’s also possible that they can shapeshift in any way shape or from with no physical limitations, although this may be false as the alternate that kills Mark/Cesar (I forgot) is seemingly unable to open the door to their victims bedroom, thus attempting to lure them out with promise of a ‘gift’ instead, so it’s more likely that the fear thing is relevant only to their supernatural abilities. This ‘psychic’ power is also probably the ‘invisible force’ tampering with the corpse in this tape.
    Also, for some reason, every alternate except the four (five if you count the type 2 in the original video) alternates shown in the THINK principle have pale white skin. Maybe they know about the tapes and are using their powers to corrupt the footage to make it harder for them to be tracked?
    TLDR alternates are extradimensional serial killers with psychic powers

    • @butnuster354
      @butnuster354 3 года назад +21

      My take on it was that some sort of catastrophic event has caused alternates to appear, and the impossible physical deformities are because an alternate and "original" are not supposed to exist at the same time. They are probably in constant pain and can only correct their deformities by getting rid of their own alternate, which is why the first video specifically warns about someone who looks exactly like you targeting you. They feel the extreme inverse of our own emotions, which is why showing them fear makes them start to feel more comfortable with their own existence (and starts to destabilize yours). The safety tapes are alternate propaganda filled with memetic agents designed to make you fear them more.

Then, all you can see was your driveway/front yard. and the man would be standing behind a tree, all you could hear is "I AM IN YOUR HOUSE" And after that, I would just wake up in tears and I'd be scared as shit. I had these dreams day in and day out since age 7, they stopped when my family moved in a city in ohio. I have never forgotten about this dream, and I never will. There was never anything after, I would always wake up and go back to sleep to have the same dream again, and then wake up again, on a repeat. My parents were genuinely concerned for me.

I then vividly recall he waved, sidestepped to the other (his right) side of the room and that's it. Moreover, I can attest it wasn't a dream because mine tended to be rather abstracted then, with places I remember being heavily morphed or merged or otherwise just strange, like a group of guys in long sleeved jumpers jumping onto train tracks and then next platform; here, though, my room was completely normal.

      Then what I assume to be a pony from an old MLP creepypasta burst through the door, and ran up to me.
      It said something, but I don't remember, then I just punched it in the face. I ran to the bathroom and hid in the closet, hoping I would wake up soon, then I heard an oink. Peppa pig, of all people, was outside of the closet shouting my name, and she wasn't alone, she had her father. Then she cut the door down, and it turned out she was a cardboard cutout all along, then I decided to look behind me. The entire closet was an empty void, I couldn't see anything but a floating platform a few feet away from me. I just jumped into the void, hoping to reach the platform, but failed. I fell for a few seconds, then I just woke up.
      I know it may not be scary, but I was genuinely scared shitless when I woke up. And let me tell you, that's not the only dream that was weird, I have a few more dreams I had.

  • @tiddyappreciator
    @tiddyappreciator 3 года назад +907

    Ok so here are some of my theories so far:
    Type two is actually not visible to the human eye. I think what the video meant by “they live on different spectrums” was that they actually live outside of the light and sound wave spectrums that we can pick up, and they can only be seen by humans when they’re able to take over a human who has died. They use the light and sound waves that televisions pick up to psychologically mess with whoever happens to be watching, and whoever is in the room is used by the alternate as energy and almost as a costume. They then imitate child crying noises to try to get anyone else to enter the room and provide more energy, especially if the initial victim was a small child that they are to massive to fit inside.
    Type threes are actually just alternates who have body types that don’t exactly match that of humans, and so they can’t perfectly use the humans as a costume, so it distorts the appearance significantly.
    The man that the kid from volume one wrote about was just an alternate who was only wearing a face, and I think it was his dad’s. I think his father will become important at some point. I thought about it and I’m sure that the man shown on the television was her husband, and she had seen him be attacked and killed by an alternate. The kid may have also seen it, but either way, the woman ended up losing a baby and her husband, and the reminder of that caused her to commit, and a type two alternate took over her body. This also explains how she was moved by “an invisible force.”
    I think all alternates start out as those black masses that are vaguely human shaped, and the type ones actually use their victims to imitate random people they see in an effort to look the part and look welcoming until they inevitably get another victim.
    Last, I believe that the Overthrone video was actually just one of the type two’s attempts at psychological harm through television.

      @@iapetus6110 I was thinking that the alternate caused her to hang herself by using the television as a form of psychological warfare, since the T.H.I.N.K. principle video highlights that alternates do that often. The alternate then took her energy and body, and that’s how the “invisible force” was moving her body as well as why we saw that distorted face, since I think alternates may be too massive to properly fit into a human body without distorting it.

    I remember having a strange dream back when I was in elementary school. I had a really nice teacher back then and I became so attached to her to the point where I'd occasionally have dreams about her. One time, I got a dream where I was alone in the classroom, hiding under one of the desks. My "teacher" was sitting behind her table, and she was talking to.... Me? I knew it wasn't me. I knew it wasn't my teacher. Their speech was muted gurgles, their faces looked mutilated beyond recognition. There was no emotion on their face. "I" (aka the copy of me), had pitch white eyes. I was hiding under the desk and hoping they won't find me. For some reason,there was a phone next to me, but when I picked it up, it would only display one thing. A live video. It seemed to be recorded from another point of view, it was my "teacher" and "me" talking. However, even if the video claimed to be a live, everytime I would look at the phone the creatures would just freeze in place, staring at me. Everything that happened next is a blur to me. This video and mandela catalogue overall reminded me of this dream.

    Spoilers for Vol1, Vol2, Vol3, and Vol4.
    _"The flicker of the TV illuminated his bedroom, drowning out the darkness with his favourite programs." "The light scared off all the monsters. It kept him safe." Vol4_
    Adam Murray as a child seemed to be always afraid and always crying, almost every night at the same time, to the point of even neighbors hearing. Lynn, his mother, would often put him in front of the TV, in an attempt to calm him down.
    _"He started crying again. Same time. I don't know what to do." Vol3_
    Lynn calls her ex-husband, Jude, to come over and help calm their child. Lynn puts Adam in front of the TV.
    _"Do you remember how we became friends?" "Do you remember my face?" Vol4_
    A particular show was shown to Adam when he was left on his own. A squiggly-drawn face called 'Stanley' would try to make friends with him.
    _"Can you keep an even bigger secret? I think it worked. Your new friend is somewhere in your house." Vol3_
    An Alternate is summoned into the Murray household, supposedly as Jude arrives.
    _"I cradled him in my arms. My sweet boy." Vol4_
    The Intruder, disguised as Stanley, seemingly abducts Adam. His crying suddenly stops.
    _"Distraught at the sight of her missing infant." Intruder Alert_
    When Lynn checks back on Adam she sees him missing. She becomes afflicted with M.A.D, immediately taking her own life.
    _"There's someone in my house. I don't know what to do." Vol3_
    Jude, being the last remaining human in the house, is tormented by the summoned Alternate. He calls the police, particularly Lieutenant Thatcher Davis, and is supposedly killed mid-call. A similar call is made to Lieutenant Weaver by a neighbor hearing Adam's screaming, then a loud crack (Intruder Alert 3:54).
    _"Thatcher, I'm gonna need some backup here." Vol3_
    Two police officers are dispatched to the Murray household. One policeman sets up cameras inside the house. The other instantly bails after feeling an "overwhelming sense of dread".
    The corpse of most likely Jude Murray is tampered with and mutilated in front of the cameras by the Intruder.
    _"Hello?"_ *"Hello?"* _"Show yourself."_ *"Show yourself."* _Vol3_
    Lieutenants Weaver and Davis inspect the property.
    After finding the TV still left on, and Lynn's body, Weaver and Davis encounter the Alternate still active on the property.
    In an act of self-preservation, Davis flees, while Weaver is supposedly taken and killed.
    _"uh oh! bad decision, thatcher!"_ _Vol3_
    Lieutenant Davis flees back to Mandela Police Station to frantically call for backup. Due to new police policy (Vol1), police do not take or respond to calls regarding Alternate encounters. Davis is ignored by all available units.
    Davis is then cornered and directly confronted by the Alternate from the Murray residence, who followed him to the empty station.
    The Alternate mimics Lieutenant Davis and calls off any possible response by other officers.
    _"A scared boy with a gun. Sound familiar?"_ _Vol4_
    Davis, having been stricken with survivor's guilt and taunting by the Alternate who attacked him and assumed his form, retreats to his own home and lives in hiding, where another Alternate lives with him, assuming Weaver's form, tormenting him to accelerate his mental decline.
    _"Your skin is not your own" Vol4_
    An Alternate Adam is returned. To where or whom is unknown. He goes to grow up in Mandela county, among humans and eventually believes himself to be human.
    This is what seems to be a timeline of events as of Vol4. Note that multiple things haven't been mentioned for brevity since some may conflict. Examples being:
    _Why did Davis and Weaver inspect the property citing the cameras had not found anything (Vol3), yet a body was tampered with in front of the camera earlier (Intruder Alert)?_
    _When did the toddler stress assessment of Adam take place? Before or after his abduction? His antisocial habits post-abduction point to the assessment possibly being after these events._
    _Jude mentions he's had his windows and doors locked for months during his call with Thatcher._

      I feel ya brother. I’m sleeping in my brothers room and barricading the fuckin door cuz I’m so terrified. But don’t worry tho, this is only an alternate universe. And here’s a few points to make you feel safer.
      1. If these people and 3,246 children went missing, we would have breaking news all over the place on tv or social media.
      2. Over 1.4 million people have watched the 15:00 long vol 1 vid which has this in it. And if watching this meant alternates were onto you, then 1.4 million people(or at least some) also would’ve notified us via social media. Meaning 1.4 million people have saw this video over the course of TWO MONTHS and are fine.
      3. If someone sat down in an office for hours on end and created this “alternate” enemy, then it is merely a creation of someone’s creative mind. An idea from someone else cannot hurt us.
      I’m still scared but this logic calms me, tho it may take some time for the fear of being in the dark to subside. Anyways wherever you are, hope this helped😁

    I used to think sussy satan and the tall guy were the scariest things in Mandela Catalogue. But now it's that whole section from 1:20-2:40 that really does it for me, especially the very end. Whereas the first two are just unnatural and uncanny looking images, and the more exposure you have to them the more normal they seem... something about this particular segment is really haunting, and it gets worse the more you watch/think about it. Imagining being in the mother's position, seeing the empty crib after the crying, combined with the music. And then when the light goes on, the music starts again, and we see the hanging silhouette... it almost feels like walking into the room and seeing someone hanging, which is horrifying. This scene is just so disturbing

    Dude, this is insanely good. This has tied Gemini Home Entertainment as my favourite online horror series already and there's been less than 10 videos. The light turning on made me actually yelp, I haven't had a vocal response to horror in YEARS. I also HUGELY appreciate analog horror where it's not over or insurmountable. Sure, there's a certain dread in being told there's nothing we can do by an authority, but the idea that people are trying so hard to fight back against these terrifying things makes it even scarier when they lose. My only suggestion is that you're REALLY careful with deformed alternates, it's really easy to make something that villanizes disabled people when trying to do malformed body horror. Make sure they don't resemble any feasible deformity first. Luckily, I don't think that'll be a problem since the deformities we know about are stretch armstrong, big brain time and being upside down. Good stuff!
    EDIT: Is there gonna be content that isn't publicly released on the RUclips channel? Like hidden unlisted videos or links to other sites. I'm not sure if I should be combing through for any or not.

    Alex, I would like to say: That I REALLY hope you're gonna be okay. I have built a small parasocial zone thanks to your videos, something that completely turned agaisnt me once the, quote and quote. "Victims" shared their "story" on Twitter.
    I have never felt so distressed in my life, never have I considered the possibility of me being this sad after some google document was made. I felt a mix between sadness, hopelesness and fury. I luckily restrained myself from sending any hate to anyone. But I still have this feeling about the situation.
    I got so many thoughts if I could just, switch to being a male. Because I think I should be ashamed of myself, when it's girls who do the complete and utter chaos on Twitter. I have considered the possibility of offing myself, and this effected most of art.
    I can only pray for you to be okay, I don't pray that often.
    Get well, soon.
