i honestly like the “thoughtform stole the car” theory because one it’d be horrific but also because it’d be funny as hell. like imagine u get out of your car, possibly get chased by an entity u can’t even begin to understand, and then by the time u get to ur car u find that they’ve stolen it and it’s leaving you for dead out in the cold. tulpa-bro rlly said “no I’M going home. 🚗”
I need to sit down and watch the series, but I'm starting to wonder if the people who are going up against the shadow government and killed the lying news host are thought forms themselves? One of the examples for what they could be just normal people, maybe think like a normal person? I imagine being ripped away from the surface you, then locked up and studied in a weird facility, probably fucking sucks
It's gonna go home and f--- his wife.
Thats funny asf xd
@@fengshuimaster7880 fr
Honestly, getting your car stolen by a physical manifestation of your own thoughts while you're being chased by a malformed rage zombie sounds like a bit of a skill issue if you ask me.
Imagine you were an archaeologist who made one of the most jawdropping, history changing, impossible discoveries of all time just to realize it's basically a cosmic horror you discovered? How do you even get the paper you'd need to write peer reviewed?? Cthulhu gonna make sure you cite your sources??
i have an art history degree and for that entire segment i was like "damn can y'all put aside the cosmic horror for a minute and get some more archaeologists and historians in there this sounds like a really cool discovery that needs to be studied before anyone starts going mad from the revelation or whatever" lmao
We all know Cthulhu absolutely would make sure you cite your sources, he's their high priest or smth XD
The Big C would just kill him. lol.
@@MarcelinoSoliz the big C 😭💀
Just read a Lovecraft novel, that’ll answer your question
>Describes the therapy session as calming
>Proceeds to play the most ominous shit you've ever heard
Minaxa works for SimioDyn confirmed.
I know right?! That scrap is anything but soothing, especially with the background music.
Also, someone already mentioned it, but; how would this therapist know every minute detail of what her house looks like, down to the little wooden Tiffany sign on her door? In an actual hypnosis session, these details would be things the hypnotized, not the hypnoticist, would describe. It's very unnerving.
@@violent_jigglerThat's true. It makes sense I suppose, but that segment is still anything but soothing :P
@@zefft.f4010 a lot of therapists, especially from this era and especially with children, do some or all sessions at the home of the patient, in order to make them the most comfortable and unguarded.
I figured it pointed to the idea that they've done this exercise before...loads of times, and that she's described all the details before, so many times that the therapist knows them already.
1:07:03 the thing with the rat is actually something that was done by spies during the Cold War, called a "dead drop!" A dead animal would be hollowed out and used to store information for other spies to find, corpses were used so that no one else would bother to touch them or find them suspicious! Its actually very interesting!
That’s fucked up
dude ud be amazed at what u can fit in a dead rat cause like really u only need the skin u dont need the bones or organs or nothing so they could really put some stuff in there
@@jjj123m how? It’s just a dead rat, billions more of em
Dead things ALWAYS drop.
@@hexagonalpineapple3846 oh!
If it wasn’t enough, being a mass native and having passed by mount greylock multiple times made this series even scarier for me than it already was.
i felt the same way with marble hornets 😭 it was filmed in my hometown, some of the guys involved were people my family knew. it made it so much scarier to me as a kid lol. now it's cool to go back and see where things were filmed haha
dang mass native? hope you get better soon dude that sucks
@@mom2088wdym?
Yo for real when I first saw this series I was honestly surprised that it was centered around mass which just added another level of horror that most don't I mean hey this is one of the only series that talks about things so close to home.
I am literally a 1/2 mile away from the start of the most popular trail. I've been lost on Greylock before actually.
I have two sides:
Being deathly afraid of horror and traumatized by it
Constantly watching horror breakdowns like a madman
Same here
I’m the second part
Bro same
But instead of the afraid it's excitement

The "imaginary friends" voice actor was using a trick where you talk while breathing inwards deeply. You could hear him stumble over the letter "s", which doesn't sound correct when breathing the opposite direction. You have to breathe out very suddenly to get the "s" right.
I love doing that trick, the fiddlesticks voice. It's so fun!
Nice observation
Am I doing it wrong or is getting the s easy? Just push your tongue around the top rim of your front teeth and suck
just extra info on the person examining the rat:
in a wendigoon stream, the creator of Greylock was present and confirmed that the person that had gloves during the jumpscare isn't the same as the person that took the rat carcass
Which jumps are? You mean when the recording is played? Yknow what I want him to confirm? Is the monster in Katie's room that one malformed miner that would act friendly before killing and cannibalizing staff, Scott I think.
@@Irrelevant402 i was referring to the window jumpscare
i think they're different, the morelli incident happened at march 1987 and all the mutated survivors are contained by either the feds or SimioDyn for examination/euthanasia. the katie tape happens on december 1994 so im guessing what killed her was a thoughtform that she made in the thoughtform manifestor ( in the "weird doctor's clinic" as she described )
@@suoerheri Yeah I figured out what you meant watching the movie. I also wonder if all the footage in Home Invasion is the same person. I did wonder if the guy filming going into the house was the same who attacked. Many questions!
You're probably right about Katie's monster but someone suggested it and I liked the idea.
@@Irrelevant402 yeah, the home invasion one is the most mysterious one imo. they're most likely people that were driven insane by the mountain similar to the mining crew but I'm confused as to why they would film it
yeah i figured it was just case of using the same object twice for convince on the creators part
The rat is obviously a tulpa from an rpg. That's why the corpse had loot.
the rat is a level 1 EXP fodder that had a rare drop in it, duh!
Gimme da loot
I can't help but laugh at the thought of Sleeping Dogs just being the uncanny Mr. Incredible meme with how Paul's image slowly becomes more upset throughout the calls.
NO YES NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT THIS BUT ITS LITERALLY SO FUNNY
LMAO I LOVE THAT
Lmao.
@@pkmnherofan22Nice Pfp.
1:21:20 My theory is that, ever since that therapy session as a child, the masked entity has been with her. Inside her. That's why we see it when her baby disappears. Was the baby a thought form, or did the entity take it as a sacrifice? I'm not sure, but whatever happened, after her murder, Tiffany is gone. The entity is now in control of her body.
therapy session means that the entity took control of her then - she wrestled control back. baby dissapears, and she loses control (sacrifice to the entity which granted it the power to gain control)
@@cewla3348 I think it's more like, it lay dormant in her until the right time. Now that she's become past tense, it's taken over her body. She clearly has a strong affinity for thoughtforms, so I fear Mr. Mask is going to use her as a conduit to manifest more of those horrific things into reality.
Which would make more sense why the morgue in Tape 001 has a broken camera with an error, along with the rest of the building being in shambles. Maybe once the masked creature got full control of Tiffany’s body in the cooler it went on a rampage throughout the area - seems like the end of Tape 010 is setting this up
Tbh, I think the pregnancy phenomena could just simply be that the babies are taken as "offerings" to whatever was in the tunnels, after all, there were singns of human sacrifice in the tunnel
The temptation to use the Max Headroom hijacking instead of the real thing must have been overwhelming in the context of analog horror, so props for restraint.
wdym???
@@shmeebles0655 tl;dr In the 80s, there was an incident in Chicago where someone hijacked the signal on a local TV station and played footage of this guy in a Max Headroom mask spouting gibberish and getting slapped in the ass with a flyswatter.
@@SpaceManRD still spooky to my younger self regardless of the grin I got reading how well you put that incident in summary … the grin mainly coming from the whole ASS and fly swatted type vibe
@@nbome2733 You actually got spooked? I thought that whole shtick was hilarious, all about that Coca-cola and ass slapping lmao
@@justsomeguywithlasereyes9920 Well it's funnily spooky, Out of context it's funny, but in context (Your T.V suddenly having a man talking about random things and in a place you can't entirely tell is moving or not) it could be a bit spooky.
Thank you so much for the warning on jumpscares. I have PTSD and myocardial lupus, so jumpscares are literally hazardous to my health. Yet I still love analog horror. I know, I know... I'm not very smart.
How do you walk with those massive tungsten balls
Wow you’re just begging for an early grave huh? In all seriousness though stay safe my friend! ❤
I dont have myocardial lupus so im not in the same boat entirely, but i have ptsd and anxiety so jumpscares make me feel like im going to die. Sounds dramatic, and is, but doesnt feel dramatic in the moment. My love for horror never fades though
@@Thebatcavepetfriendlybakery Oh no, I totally get it. Even without a heart condition, any time I get startled really badly it's like "oh ok guess I'll just die", lol.
You have my empathy. PTSD is not fun, and anyone who shows you a screamer is a conkwocket.

@@LeahIsHereNowikr fr. Like this and Mandela’s cast needs to go head-to-head over the razzies
@@LeahIsHereNow What do your expect huh?
@@LeahIsHereNow You "pray" I'm making an sarcastic dismissive comment about a whole collection of voice actors and writers that helped put this project together? 🤨 Genuinely enjoying the final product of what was clearly a lot if time and work and organization to pull of as a group is something you hope people lie about? You can hope that all you want, but I really hope nobody feels the same way about your own passion projects someday.
@@RaspberryPastryTHIS COMMENT RIGHT HERE!! It’s so disappointing to see people knock down others about their passion projects , especially for something as ambitious as this . Whatever the opinion on the acting is, there’s no denying that there was hard work done here and it isn’t fair to go and make a snarky comment about if it was good or not. Especially if the person making that comment has a high chance of not knowing how to do anything in that field of content creation or art .
Haven’t seen a comment on this yet, so apologies if anyone’s already pointed this out: I think Tiffany’s age is a discrepancy on the autopsy because she died on May 19th but her birthday was May 20th, so technically she was basically a year older but on paper she hadn’t quite turned 29 before she died.
Whoever does Tiffany's voice is amazing. It's really difficult to find good child actors. I wonder if it's just a woman pretending to be a child or an actual child, but the acting is on point! The voice acting overall belongs to a AAA game or movie, even better than most movies. It's just *chef's kiss*
Something that sticks with me is how did the therapist know about Tiffany's house in such detail? Had he been there? Who remembers that the flowers were pink, that Tiffany's room was on the right side at the end, that she had stickers stuck on her door- specifically from 2 years ago. Tiffany sure wouldn't tell him that the stickers were from 2 years ago, so that implies he asked the parents about the stickers on their child's door. He also knows the details of her room. Personally I think that this therapist has been watching Tiffany for a very, very long time and he's specifically leading her through this because of her abnormal sensitivity towards thoughtforms. He might not want to have let the thing out, but he sure wanted Someone to get a look at it.
You might be on to something there, but tbf he might also have asked about those specific kind of details in preparation for the hypnosis? Considering that he could yell when she was being more quiet than usual and that her being quiet meant she was seeing things again, it does sound like he has been treating her for a while, so he probably went through a planning phase with her and her parents when he first suggested the hypnosis. Of course, depending on where this plot line goes from here, the fact that he seems to know her so well could instead strengthen your interpretation
There are only two reasonable possibilities: 1. He orchestrated her's life to detail in co-op with her parents, so he knows what would the room look like, what presents she will get on which birthday, where she will be manipulated to put them in the room etc. 2. He is time traveler alike, time perceiver, lets say that he has ability to contemplate time in different way than other people (like to swipe it in his mind back and forward, like we swipe ours newsfeed)
From my understanding of these types of hypnosis therapies, you'd gradually work with the person to get them better at a meditative state by asking them things like "what room are you in?" "Are you in your house or somewhere else?" "Describe what you see" etc. It helps people to slowly build that ability to see something mentally, and in the process you learn things about like what they think their house looks like and what's inside. That's at least my understanding, but I could be incorrect
@@ognjen8970My man you jumped to the most unreasonable possibilities as the most reasonable. Its far more reasonable he just called her parents and got the information or since he works for the government just had someone show up at the house to figure out the layout.
How does your brain leap past he made a few phone calls to Truman Show 100% orchestrated life and time travel. I'm terrified of the conspiracies you triple front flip into if this is where your thought process goes lmao
@@Pragabond if you are looking for a resonable and shallow as "simple phonecall" explanation, you certanly lack imagination. Maybe its a different thought process, you would likely be the telenovele master, and would guess 163 episodes ahead that "Horhe is his own father, son and uncle, but he fell from the horse and change his gender and fell in love with past himself..." 😆
I find Edward Kowalski's mutation to be the most horrific. Sure, the other guy being a cannibal is horrific, but being as Crowmudgeon describes as "irresistibly persuasive" is infinity more horrific and dangerous.
Loved the video! Great work!
45:46 I don't know why. But the child's voice happily saying "It's a monster" after all the madness is the funniest thing I've ever seen in analog horror.
My theory is that the monster was using that voice to mock its victims, but I’m not sure
The way the thoughtform that merc’d Katie was talking was as if he wasn’t quite familiar with how speech works. The slow and careful cadence of someone trying to pronounce things correctly, as if either English or a mouth is unfamiliar to them. Idk, it’s one of those subtle things that adds so much.
In the Max Headroom segment, Max when he's thanking everyone says, 'And you, the ordinary people, who made me who I am today.' Thoughtform reference?

minaxa, i hope your path will be free from stray legos, that your skin will stay clear, and both sides of your pillow be cool-
I think it's worth noting that the ritual circle is in the same shape of the news broadcasting channel's logo and possibly shows that they are in on it as well or some other reason.
They don't want you to know this but the dead rats in the forest are free! I have 27 of them already and I'm planning my next rat forage as I write this.
Rats? I was rats once, they locked me in a room, a rubber room, a rubber room filled with crazy, and crazy makes me rats, rats? I was rats once, they locked me in a room, a rubber room, a rubber room filled with crazy, and crazy makes me rats, rats?
You ever put them in soup yet? You'd be missing out if not!
Keep us posted, Rat Boy.
Free??? My local rat man charges 3 dollars!!!😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬
Its 1 am here, and i got to the part where you say heres "pauls final message" my earbuds have a robotic voice when they die and turn on so when i got there i just heard a robot lady in my ears go "GOODBYE." Im crying
"you see... somthing tells me.. the public is being lied too.."
video: **EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL-NORMAL-NORMAL-NORMAL-NORMAL**
i think we can trust him
For the cassette being in the rat, in the war spies used to put confidential information in rat and bird carcasses and left them in the street for other spies to find. It could be something like that?
Oh definitely, I reckon Alex is in some kind of conspiracy with a private investigator to figure out what happened to his family
katie with dat calm ass manner, If i was her and I hear a "K A T I E" from the side of my room, I'll be talking some of that "SFDGFWKWAAAAAAAA"
She's a better person than I am.....
About the rat: back in the day some spies used animal corpses as a time of dead malbox (unfortunally idk the englisch name)
I think you're talking about a dead drop
54:47 man I was really hoping that it would be a bait and switch, where the imaginary friend was actually helpful
Same 🥲
yeah i was like, this guy seems kinda nice actully i hope he just chills out
i watched greylock with my girlfriend and gave her nightmares. which is weird because she's more into horror than me.
I mean this series is quite freaky. True horror at its finest imo
This series made me paranoid. Imagine being a victim of your own thoughts. Not only are you the victim but the thoughts can manifest as the worst thing you ever seen. It's pretty insane. It made me a bit paranoid at night for a day.
My biggest fear is of the dark. So when I partially see these thought forms obscured enough to make me question my vision is the scariest thing for me. The two specifically being above Katie's computer and in the morgue
I think the break ins were not committed by the workers, rather, they have a connection to the thoughtforms. I am not quite sure how exactly, but the witnesses saying they never thought the culprits could be capable of such an act reminds me a lot of the repressed desire nature of "shadow". It can be a hint, but it also can just be a red herring. Also like- If it really was the workers, how could anyone recognize them anymore? Their faces were so distorted.
Didnt the distortions happen in containment? They had photos of them through every step basically
Just wanted to point out a few things, the images we see of the miners in Tape 008 are labeled as "Group C" meaning that there could be other groups of miners they have stored away in Unit 13 and are performing experiments on. Also, the miners were excavating inside a mountain to build a facility, so it makes sense that there'd be way more than just the 7 miners we saw in that tape.
One last thing, not all the malformations are grotesque. The very first miner we see in Tape 008 is Thomas Rockford, and he has suffered from very minor (haha) malformations compared to the others in that segment. He literally looks like he's just a man who is upset because he just got woken up lol
The voice acting with the little girl Katy was *really* good. She sounded a lot like my little sibling or even myself when I was just waking up from a deep sleep. Also the screams they use sound really truly frightened…. Where the fuck do you source those
Let's hope that just very talented voice actors :(
Likely some online files, talented acting/editing, or just going BOO, but you could also get those by having a kid play a video game, or even a board game. Screaming in delight/disappointment/shock is pretty common, even in Minecraft for younger kids.
The most terrifying part of the series, hands down is the fate of the miners and the little girl. Only one of the miners was spared and affected the least, say for some psychological trauma, he was relatively normal. Everyone else that he knew and was possibly friends with became deformed monsters that look eerily similar to thought forms. The girl? We don’t see what happened to her, but I can tell from the blood splatter she was both brutalized and cannibalized. This series is awesome, and so is this analysis of it.
Got a bit of a wild theory for this. It feels to me like the masked man is in the God position of the other thought forms and that synodin wants that sort of power as well, so they worship him too. They could be decendents of people with more deliberatly created thoughtforms that were informed of his existence through them. They could send their thoughtforms to worship him, explaining why there's no other archelogical evidence of these cultures crossing the sea except at Mt Greylock. They could have also sent the miners to dig him out because they finally had the means of doing so/ they're ready to enact some ultimate plan. My best guess as to the ultimate goal is for everyone to be replaced with their thought form.
I'd also like to add it seems like the masked man has the ability to transform a target into there shadow/ thought form. That would explain why some miners get extreme deformities after being in his tunnels while the archeologist doesn't. He is in harmony with his shadow as shown by his lack of sway from offers of money and fame, while the miners it seems might have been hiding some darker things
bless you, genuinely, for the jumpscare timestamps and warnings. Love your work.
Also wow, the voice acting in this series is awesome. It's good to the point where I don't think about it, which is REALLY good. A lot of other series i criticise for their voice work. this one has excellent voice work and I really appreciate that about it.
😂
Horror series seem to LOVE the 80s. Y'know, if I had a nickel every time 1987 was relevant in a horror series, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice.
well yeah, its *analog* horror
its because a horror setting in the 80s/90s is immediately evocative and scary for millenials, as in most cases our first experiences of being terrified by media would've been something seen on tv when we were children, which would've been produced in the 80s/90s
I think it’s because the 1980s was really the sweet spot in technology being just good enough to document stuff consistently, yet still undeveloped enough to realistically malfunction and lead to glitches, distortions, and just general low quality. Or at least that’s my take lol
I have a theory I find rather interesting. There was a line from the jungian psychology conference that I couldn't get out of my mind. "That humanity will rise and approach god as equals." Now the masked figure, if they are indeed the being that was worshipped in mount greylock, is clearly some kind of god. And Simiodyne making thoughtforms could. Be seen as some form of attempting to approach god by taming the shadows within ourselves. And unless I'm mistaken the masked figure has only attacked Simiodyne personell, those who had seen too much (in the chase of the archeologist), or those covering for simiodyne (in the case of Don Wright). I argue that the Masked figure gave Don Wright the same illness it gave the monsters when it disfigured his face on the news. and Don Wright's face on the image of his body looks very similar to those who died of the disease. The one outlier here is Tiffany Crisaldi who may also have died from the "disease". But supposedly she saw the mayked man in her mind so .aybe she saw too much. But that would have been before it was released so it couldn't do anything at the time. Tl;Dr: My theory is that the masked man isn't as much of an antagonist as we think and they are simply god ounishing humanity for their hubris.
thought of an additional detail, I think this masked god may have overlain the cult footage over the simiodyn representative presentation. They did this as a reminder of what humanity is SUPPOSED to be doing, worshipping them. Maybe Simiodyn is descended from people that worshipped this masked god. But they wanted to take a different path. To become equal with god themselves. So they let out god to meet on "equal" footing, and wrought hell on earth.
I think Tiffany has to be some kind of prophet or have a greater purpose for this cult like John Ward from Faith the unholy trinity, the way they both are tied in from a young age and have their personal ties seemingly shattered feels too obvious.
1:25:56 okay but also consider this. It’s BOTH of them in the car and they are booking it from something even worse like that mask thing. Even the thoughtform is like “NOPE FUCK THAT”
That would be really funny. All of this other chaos is going down later, and the guy and thoughtform just have a sitcom together.
Do recall, thoughtforms aren't inherently bad or evil, and can be manifested with good or hopeful intent.
i don't think the multicultural shrine was literally physically visited by all those people, but rather is a thoughtform manifestation (since one example they give of a thoughtform establishes that it can be a location) of worldwide worship of this entity. it (the masked figure) might represent the other or the unknown. the shadow maybe? and with so much thoughts of fear and actual offerings dedicated to this concept, by so many people over such a long time, it'd be insanely powerful.
The “Therapist” from Tape 10 knows about the hidden door in her house/mind - a detail that doesn’t make sense if he’s actually trying to help Tiff. He seems to know in advance what Tiffany will see in her trance-state and - by his reaction - the Tall Man shouldn’t be there. During the last seconds of the trance, the desk starts shaking, but the doctor stays focused on pulling Tiffany back to reality. He appears calm in the face of something clearly supernatural, which means he’s familiar with this kind of thing.
My take: the good doctor was using Tiffany’s esper powers to access some alternate dimension, but something goes wrong when the Tall Man shows up. The doctor damages the Tall Man, and in the end, manages to save Tiffany by ending the trance. Maybe Katie was also an esper who was experimented on by the doctor. A Thoughtform, Katie’s “Imaginary Friend” follows her home post-trance and rips her to pieces.
Wouldn't you rip apart what you thought was the human magi that tried to banish you from your own domain through a proxy? Id probably be offended enough to do it if I was watching my favorite episode of the hit TV show, static.
The idea of like a ghost or monster just hijacking someone's car is so funny to me
Wait, the series is by Rob? Damn. I used to watch his Seriously Strange years ago when he still hadn't changed his name. Good to see him having successfully spread his wings a bit.
Paul's voice acting is W, so is the archeologist.
I didn't add this before in my comment but I wanted to say how fuckin frightening the idea that the last bit of Paul Morelli's sanity was wanting to call Frank, most likely for answers, but the rest of his mind was so far gone that his speech was more of a garbled mess.
@@alocalarsonistEXACTLY , it’s so horrifying and almost sickening to consider as it’s very likely that in regards to Paul, Frank basically sent him and that team down there to die, and that despite the descent to madness, he still went to call Frank for answers and even before that was still calling for answers or to update Frank on the happenings, still unaware of the nature of the situation or the possibility that the mission was a death sentence . And the archeologists situation was just as good. This series is super talented in the acting department
i like how pauls face is just turning from :D to D:
If I had a nickel for someone uploading a video about greylock in 1 day, I would have 2 nickels which isn’t alot but it’s weird that it happened twice
A few notes.
1. Thoughtforms are made by concerted mental effort. A lot of references to holy men were shown.
2. Thoughtforms dont seem to be vulnerable to harm.
3. The facility in video 1, was powering on from an emergency shutdown, and everything in the cameras were was messed up.
4. The tall man's mask is broken.
5. Ghosts were referenced as possible thoughtforms.
6. Tulpas aren't exactly thoughtforms, they are slightly different.
7. Thoughtforms can be seen/heard
8. More than one person can contribute to a single thoughtform.
9. If you are scared, in the forest and think something is in the trees, it is pretty normal to flash brights.
So i think mt greylock has access to a shard of theia, and that it contains an amalgamation of the thoughtforms/soul of theia. I believe that the people praying to it, have gifted it their emotional energy making it more powerful. Theia, the planet, may be represented by the tall man, with the broken mask, being broken due to the fracturing of the planet itself.
The cameras placed across the country were likely placed to see/hear the presence of existing thoughtforms and monitor them.
Likely, graylock and section 13 were the final part of this long process, with alex's video showing their frustration at their prior failures.
Alex was likely working to manifest tiffany.
Something went wrong after alex manifested her, and section 13 was destroyed.
What the endgame of theia, or alex is... idk.
Pretty sure the tall man is theia
this is a very well made video but the part at 29:30 when you're like 'lets hear paul's final message :)', which is immediately followed by loud distorted screaming has some a tier comedic timing.
Yeap, now that you point it out and I'm not bracing for horror stuff, it's hilarious out of context
My stupid self can only fall asleep to horror breakdowns like this, then I get woken up because of nightmares that were influenced by the videos I fall asleep to 😂
That's one way to have an alarm clock
The screams during Frank's last message are ripped from The Evil Dead
"Hi, I'd like to file an insurance claim"
"What for?"
"A thoughtform stole my car."
"A what?"
A file that SHOULD not exist not, one that DOESN'T exist. A rather important distinction in my opinion...
Random thought, I believe it was thoughtforms that committed the break-ins. When they say they never thought the culprits would be capable of committing this violence, they could mean that they never thought that thought forms could commit violence. So, the informational video that they sent was based on the natural thought forms, who did not commit violence, but the artificial ones could and did.
I think it was the crew who were down in the mountains maybe.
@@desertdude8274yeah definitely has to be the miners after they were infected. We only saw Simiodyne recover one team allegedly so there are likley more still running around, we never saw Paul recovered
WAS THAT THE MAX HEADROOM OF 87?!?!?!
i love your videos so much please never stop. i love rewatching your videos because of the way you easily and clearly explain every part of the story you are covering.
one of the best analog horror explaination channels covering one of my favorite analog horror series greylock is just epic. keep it up man
I've been doing the "speaking while inhaling" bit to entertain my friends for so long I hear when other people are doing it. Great use of that technique
WHY THE FRICK IS 1987 SUCH A PROMINENT YEAR IN HORROR
'tis the spoopiest of years, yes, yes!
The bite
IS THAT THE BITE OF-@@theholypeanut8193
The bite of ‘87 happened
tbh a thoughtforme committing a carjacking is a hilarious concept
this might be nothing, but thought forms kind of remind me of one scp called the scarlet king. if thought forms are literally the physical manifestation of a thought or idea, maybe they lie about them being unable to hurt people because if someone believes that, than it could influence their own thought forms to follow what they believe is true
The EBS being an actual voice honestly adds to the terror.
Sorry, what is an EBS?
@@Ryzard Emergency broadcasting system, stuff like tornado warning, amber alert, earthquake warning. Before phones it would interrupt TV broadcasts, and is a significant feature of analog horror.
Ahhhh yeah, figured you meant something else, since I figured that would have been in element in more analogue horror. Wack that it isn't then! @@kepipek6598
ngl, when you said Rob Gavagan made this, everything clicked for me. of course he made this. thats why i like it so much
Did you notice the sermon changed from cautioning AGAINST The Devil…to basically sympathizing with The Devil?
I mean, it’s been shown that thought forms or anything related to the… threats against humans have some kind of electrical or EM manipulation. I reckon the hikers came across a thought form more powerful than we could imagine
@@pasta1549 It was interesting that the broadcast was hijacked to promote the thought forms that way. I was just surprised it wasn't mentioned :)
4:42 sounds like Joel doing his “Luigi is drunk again” bit
oh i like that reference
Giving an amazing breakdown, a funny ad AND noting where all the jumpscares are. You are a real one, first time ive seen you so its time to binge your entire catalouge
The ritual we see in tape 10 also has the same symbol as the TV and radio stations, it appears like a simplified version of the Eye of Providence, AKA the All Seeing Eye.
I wonder if the masked entity has anything to do with the collective unconscious, the tunnels being visited by every culture at one point of time seems impossible for it to be collaborative, but more like each representative was called there. There is also the therapy session, it's easy to assume it was a cognition, but when the therapist tries to redact it, "He's shaking and cracking"... I think her saying that, calling attention to it cracking is significant, and may actually be why whenever we see it now, it has those cracks because it was physically in her mind and the doctor damaged it. The main question is why was it there to begin with? And why was it manifested strongly enough to not only be harmed by the therapy session, but to genuinely instill panic in the therapist? My guess, Tiffany is some form of esper and is attuned to whatever plane the thought forms come from, and to drive it deeper, the masked entity is a very old and powerful thought form that can tap into the collective unconscious and influence the shadows of others. And it wants Syadyne to keep making unstable hostile thoughtforms for a reason.
another minaxa banger! thanks for all your hard work yet again :)
Manta sleep sounds like an analog horror company
So cool to see analog horror about a place I've spent so much time in! I love Mt. Greylock and the NW corner of MA so much.
Just a thought but it could be that Dr. Hayes is also the doctor who was seeing Tiffani when she was a child. I also think Alex may have already been working at Simiodyn before his wife's "death" somehow got suspicious of what was happening and dug deeper. I would not be surprised if he turns up unalived later.
Wait, this was made by Rob Gavagan? I've been a fan of his since before he changed his name! So cool!
As someone who has lived in Mass their whole life this is gonna make the story more interesting yet horrifying.
Also first time to see any horror based in Mass that's not real, really cool to see considering there is so much history here.
Paul's face subtly changes over the tapes.
Honestly I never knew Rob Gavagan made an analog horror series. I love his horror and crime content and now I find he’s made this!!
"Don't look at me, idk what's going on in this series" minaxa you're so real for that
Your voice is best for analog horror 💀💀💀💀 Big W. Some people sound so childish when talking about it and it doesn't make it as scary as you do 💀💀💀💀💀💀
Beautiful Minaxa! Bravo, and I love that amazing avatar at the beginning of the video. Your narration is always outstanding and is amazing to listen too while doing other things.
There’s a strong thematic and plot parallel between Greylock and “Quatermass and the Pit.”
It does seem like a more modern analog horror take on the story
This is so good goddamn - The scariest part is when I accidentally saw my hand's reflection in the phone and scared the snot outta myself
The rat is a thoughtform/shape. Someone ratted out information.
**W H E E Z E**
I love watching these analysies, but the horror itself is way too scary for me. Just the "to the mountain" section of this video was enough to give me difficulties to sleep. The lore is so interesting tho, it's def worth it for me. Love the video, great job as usual!
gonna summon a thoughtform and use it like a stand
Im gonna summin a thoughtform for.... Devious activities 😏
If you summon a cookie thoughtform can you eat it
A horror channel got a sleep mask sponsor.
That is fantastic.
a great analysis of this phenomenal analog horror series! This may be going way out on a limb but as you said the quick clip talking about the planet colliding with the primordial earth speaks of parts of that planet forming the Moon and some of it remaining embedded in the earth itself. What if these thoughtforms or the entities worshipped in Mount Greylock arrived with that planet that collided with earth? They might have survived if they were energy and not yet physical form. And the mountain may be a piece of that planet or connected to it. if the home invaders are thought forms and related to those primordial entities then that may be why the home invader was filming the moon for so long after they killed those people in the house - because as a thought form they may sense/know the moon contains other pieces of that primordial planet. It may be similar to the plot in the old movie "Forbidden Planet" where an alien civilization called the Krell developed a machine to transform their thoughts/desires into physical matter/form, but they were all destroyed in one day because their unconscious, animalistic desires were let loose and destroyed them all. Similarly, the thought forms may be energy or entities awaiting form. Then when formed they run amok. It's not a strong link but it occurred to me. Thanks again for the great video.
Why was it that right after you said we’ve seen 1987 before I was like welp bite of 87’ shows it’s face elsewhere 💀
WAS THAT THE COMMENT OF 87?!?!
This series has absolutely captivated me, and i’ve been looking for as many videos on it as i can find, even if they’re all the same. The actual content scares me too much for me to watch it myself, so i just watch people talk about it. This video is one i really like. I love the interpretations and theories here. This is my second time watching this one :3
Is it just me, or does the whole discussion about thoughtforms and the manefestor remind anyone of Persona 3 and the Evokers which manifested your persona for combat?
The personas, shadows, and dark hour/shadow world/metaverse are also explicitly based on Jungian ideas. Persona 3 fes (haven't played original or portable) has a bunch of classroom questions based on yungian psychology.
Average day in Massachusetts
I love your storyteling and narration, and although I've watched whole Greylock Tapes by myself, it was really entertaining- but I'm always cracking, because every ad between has this quircky and happy music XD
I already watched the video since it's posted early for 5$ members! (cough). But, the Cam_03 Body Storage scene scared me more than any analog horror ever has. The lead up to it, the atmosphere, world building and sound design is perfect. It's terrible in the best way. My only critique for the series is the reliance on g*re. It's done incredibly well with scenes like the news reporter, but it just feels cheap sometimes (saying that as someone who can't handle stuff like that so I'm biased)
I watched this video at 2am, could not sleep! S tier analog horror :3
Heaviliy prefer this usage of gore as a way to sell the horror of whats going on and body horror esqe vibes the series seems focused on rather then UrbanSpook bullshit tbh
@@alyceblak1524 Just googled urbanspook up out of curiosity, and from what I can see I absolutely agree with you
@@alyceblak1524UrbanSpook is as if someone watched SAW and thought the only thing they needed was the gore and impractical murder traps and the story didn't matter 😅
@@thanatoast true.
God it just... why.
Without the gore and body horror it wouldn't be half as terrifying.
I made the same mistake as before. I watched your video shortly before needing to go to bed. I can't believe i didn't learn from last time
I think Mulgren IS the arm going into the house. He was in contact with the archeologist and could have been there at the time.
You wouldn't really wear leather gloves like that for construction or mining. Plus visually we identify an arm with a leather glove as Mulgren, it would be visually confusing.
Combining that with the last tape about him being willing to do a lot of things to survive? Maybe he broke into someone's house while following the miners. Maybe he killed someone to hide when they went rampaging.
Even further maybe he's the one that spoiled their food. We don't know what powers thought forms have but they mostly seem to kill people, maybe? Spoiling food seems very specific, almost like poisoning.
Notice the discrepancy if that camera footage with the miners. They mention several times a tall man, but we only ever see ghostly beings until the final one where Mask form shows up. No one there MENTIONS a mask, just a tall dude with a face they can't really see.
We also have the footage of the recorded B&E. MAYBE he's killing the archeologist to cover his own tracks and the Mask form came after the fact. Remember the first thing that the intruder says is that they're the Police. Mulgren is ex Police. Why would a Tulpa even need to pretend if it was going to kill him anyway?
The majority of camera footage from a person operating it is from Mulgren. Everyone else has been people recording their deaths. The only "active" recorder is Mulgren, and a PI would very much be capable of entering a house.
Remember, the final message to him mentions that he's been willing to do some sketchy stuff to stay alive. Maybe one of those is breaking into your informants house, murdering him, and taking all the files mentioning you.
Maybe Mask Form IS Mulgrens Shadow and Mulgren is the one killing these people. We never see the Mask Form kill anyone directly and we actually haven't SEEN a Tulpa directly kill someone.
"Those who create thought forms familiars correctly, will quite literally, be living alongside their shadow"
So they basically awaken their stand?
Star Platinum!
This is such a good video, the people that worked on this project are all so incredible. This stuff is genuinely so scary especially since home invasion is a very common fear for many people, just beautifully done and I loved your analysis! Looking forward to more videos in the future!
New year new bangers. One of my first videos from this channel and I love it
