00:00On June 25, 2015, the YouTube channel Obscure Horror Corner introduced the world to a chilling
00:10game known as Sad Satan by uploading the first of five gameplay videos for it. This was the
00:16first record of the game's existence on the internet. Unlike conventional horror games,
00:21Sad Satan offered no objectives, no enemies, and no resolutions. Instead, players navigated
00:28dimly lit corridors and were bombarded at random points throughout the game with cryptic symbols,
00:33audio, and images. It was a game unlike any other. What really made Sad Satan stand out wasn't just
00:40its creepy vibe. It was the sick, twisted content hiding beneath the surface. The game wasn't just
00:46unsettling. It was tied to accusations of demonic, illegal, and downright disturbing images. The game
00:53was a maze of dark, claustrophobic corridors with no clear goal. You wandered around with
00:58a first-person POV while distorted audio played in the backgrounds. The sounds were seemingly random,
01:04but ranged from reversed music to warped screams and laughter. Perhaps most unsettling, there were
01:09snippets of serial killer's interviews that sometimes popped up. Every so often, the game
01:14would throw full-screen flashes of disturbing images at you. Some were just weird, like black and white
01:20photos of statues or cryptic symbols. Others were outright horrifying mugshots of criminals, cult references,
01:27and cryptic Latin phrases. One of the most infamous was the recurring appearance of Jimmy Saville,
01:33a disgraced TV host known for decades of child abuse. His presence in the game made it feel like
01:39something much darker was lurking beneath the surface. To top it off, there was a ghostly child
01:45who would sometimes appear in the hallways. In the last gameplay video uploaded by Obscure Horror Corner,
01:50one of these ghostly kids started following the player, and there was no way to escape.
01:56The game ends when the player is finally caught and killed by this eerie, silent figure.
02:01As creepy as the original said Satan was, things took a much darker turn on July 7th, 2015,
02:08when a download link for the game popped up on 4chan's paranormal board. People who downloaded it
02:13quickly realized they were involved in something demonic. The clone reportedly included extreme
02:18gore, images of mutilated bodies, and even CP. Weirdly, the game also contained malware which
02:25would mess with your computer, sometimes causing it to crash completely. Jamie, the alleged owner of
02:31Obscure Horror Corner, denied any connection to this version, claiming the one he played didn't have
02:36any of that illegal content. But his story had holes, and people were already questioning whether
02:41he could be trusted. Jamie claimed he found Sad Satan on the dark web, saying a mysterious and
02:47anonymous user named ZK sent him a link to the game. According to Jamie, the game was hosted on
02:53a hidden tour service. However, people were left wondering where the original gameplay footage came
02:59from, as all the original download links were fake. People have spent years trying to decode Sad Satan's
03:05meaning. The references to Jimmy Salville and the ghostly children have led many to believe the
03:10game is a sick reference to child abuse, and a way to distribute twisted content. The name Sad Satan
03:17derived from reversed audio from Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven.
03:35And Latin phrases suggest some kind of satanic or cult theme. After all the controversy, Obscure Horror
03:50Corner went silent, and the channel was abandoned. But that didn't stop the internet from obsessing
03:55over Sad Satan. Fans created clean versions of the game, scrubbing out all the illegal content so
04:01people could experience the atmosphere without the risks. What makes Sad Satan stick with people
04:06isn't just the horror or the controversy, it's the fact that we still don't know the truth.
04:12I would strongly advise against doing any digging, but if you do, be extremely cautious with what kind
04:17of messed up stuff you might be getting yourself into.
04:21In 2009, an internet mystery was born on Reddit and quickly grew into one of the most disturbing
04:31internet rabbit holes. Known as the Lake City Quiet Pills Saga, it's an incredibly disturbing mystery
04:37that still has no resolution. The story begins with a Redditor named Religion of Peace, later revealed
04:43to be Milo. He was no stranger to controversy. As a moderator for the infamous Jailbait subreddit,
04:50Milo already had a dark reputation. rslashjailbait was notorious for spreading illegal content and was
04:57eventually banned by Reddit, but that's a story for another time. Milo claimed to be a war veteran,
05:02boasting about his alleged involvement in conflicts like the Cold War and even the Battle of Normandy.
05:08People were divided, some were impressed by his apparent knowledge while others doubted his claims.
05:14Milo was an unusually active Reddit user, despite claiming to be 80 years old, which added to the skepticism.
05:21On May 18, 2009, Milo shared a link to a new website, lakecityquietpills.com.
05:29He described it as, quote, that old guy's image host. At first, the site seems pretty basic,
05:35just a place to upload images. But the name itself, Quiet Pills, gave people pause.
05:41It sounded off, like there was more to it than met the eye. Fast forward to July 17, 2009,
05:47Milo posted his last ever Reddit comment, which was a rant about spam content. Just hours later,
05:54a new user named 2-6 showed up to announce Milo's death. According to the post, Milo had died at his
06:01desk, leaving behind no family and only a handful of personal belongings. That's when things got weird.
06:08Some Redditors decided to dig into lakecityquietpills.com and discovered something chilling.
06:14Hidden in the site's source code were cryptic messages that looked like job postings,
06:19but these weren't regular jobs. They seemed to reference covert operations.
06:24Some examples of the postings include, Immediate need, 12 essay Spanish speaking,
06:30No papers required, and 4 for 24-7 DP, English speakers, Spanish fluency is a plus.
06:38The language was filled with military-style acronyms and obscure terms along those lines.
06:44One user pointed out that the abbreviation WW meant wet work, or more specifically, assassinations.
06:52The plot thickened even more in 2010, when a real-world event seemed to tie directly to
06:57the Lake City Quiet Pills saga. On January 19, 2010, Hamas arms dealer Mahmoud al-Mabou was
07:04assassinated in a Dubai hotel. He was suffocated by a team of operatives who entered the country
07:10using fake identities. This happened on the exact same day as a quote-unquote
07:14party mentioned in the source code of lakecityquietpills.com. This site listed a detailed
07:20breakdown of expenses for the event, hotel rooms, transportation, and even medical supplies that
07:25totaled nearly $94,000. The timing and the scale of the expenses led many to believe that this
07:32quote-unquote party was actually cover for an assassination operation. It felt too closely
07:37related to be pure coincidence. People began digging into the site even further. The account
07:442-6 was tied to another alias, Angel2-6. This handle had been active on other forums like
07:51farc.com since the early 2000s. What's more, Angel2-6's email address was linked to the
07:58lakecityquietpills.com domain. It was quite literally, angel.2.6 at lakecityquietpills.com.
08:07The activity surrounding these accounts painted a picture of a tightly connected group with ties
08:12to military or illegal work. Some people started interpreting the phrase lakecityquietpills as a
08:18euphemism for bullets. The phrase lakecityquietpills was traced back to a Remington ammunition plant in
08:24Missouri, which produces billions of rounds of ammunition annually. People have spent years debating
08:31what this all means. The most common theory is that the site was a front for a group of professional
08:36hitmen. Some argue that the military lingo and references suggest a group of ex-military individuals
08:42who defected from their governments. The connection to covert intelligent operations and organizations
08:47is clear, but the truth about the site remains unknown. After 2010, the updates to lakecityquietpills.com
08:54stopped, and the site eventually went offline.
09:00Back in 2015, a strange YouTube channel called Unfavorable Semicircle popped out of nowhere and
09:08instantly grabbed the attention of internet sleuths, cryptography fans, and conspiracy theorists.
09:14It wasn't just the creepy content that made it stand out, it was the sheer scale and weirdness of it all.
09:20In less than a year, the channel uploaded tens of thousands of cryptic videos before YouTube
09:25banned it in 2016. The channel launched in March 2015 and wasted no time. Within days, it began posting
09:33videos, starting with one titled with a Sagittarius sign, followed by the numbers 230511. It was a 4 second
09:41clip of a brown, blurry screen with no sound. Simple, but unsettling. Then came more and more.
09:49The scale of the whole operation was insane. Thousands of videos poured in over the months,
09:54all cryptic and impossible to make sense of. The uploads were strange for a couple of reasons.
10:00Most of the titles included the Sagittarius horoscope symbol, for whatever reason. Most videos had
10:06pixelated or abstract images, like dots on a plain background. Some were just blank screens.
10:12Some of the videos were silent, while others featured distorted sounds, static, or a voice
10:17reading random letters and numbers. There wasn't much consistency in the video lengths either.
10:22Some were mere seconds long, while others lasted hours. The longest video on the channel was 11 hours.
10:29Here comes the strangest part. The rate at which the channel was uploading wasn't humanly possible.
10:35At first, videos went up every 10 minutes, but by 2016, the channel was cranking out uploads every 20
10:41seconds. By the time it eventually got shut down, there were over 200,000 total videos.
10:48As word spread, a Reddit community formed to figure out what unfavorable semicircle was all about.
10:54As you might expect, theories started flying. Some thought it was a modern day numbers station,
10:59like the ones used during the cold war to send secret messages to spies. The strange letters and
11:04numbers fit, but the videos didn't follow the typical structure of a number station broadcast.
11:10Others thought it might be part of an ARG, where participants solved puzzles across various
11:15platforms. The videos seemed designed to be decoded or pieced together, but most ARGs give players clues
11:21or guidance. And this didn't. Some compared it to WebDriver Torso, a YouTube channel Google used to test
11:28video quality. I'm pretty skeptical about this theory, since the creepy visuals and audio feel like
11:34overkill for a quality test. In 2022, someone claiming to be the creator of the channel gave an
11:40unsatisfying and probably fake explanation. He claimed the whole thing was an art project, more
11:46specifically, a way to explore abstraction and mystery, but personally, I have a hard time believing
11:52that's all it was. Many people continued to speculate that the videos had a darker purpose, like illegal
11:58activity, espionage, or even psychological experiments. Out of thousands of uploads, a few stood out as
12:05especially significant. There were several titled, Lock and Delock, with the Sagittarius symbols in front of the
12:11words, and some people thought these videos held the key to the whole project. These
12:16videos were packed with flashing visuals and strange audio patterns. By analyzing the frames side by
12:22side, investigators pieced together a grainy image that resembled the Voyager Golden Record,
12:27which was a disk NASA sent into space to represent humanity. There were various other clues that people
12:33noticed. Toward the end of the channel's life, a series of videos titled Brill appeared, each numbered in
12:39order. They seemed more structured than the rest, but no one was able to find anything conclusive.
12:44The most popular upload by far was the 11-hour video. It was almost completely silent, but reportedly caused some
12:52devices to crash. On February 25th, 2016, just hours after the BBC published an article about
13:00unfavorable semicircle, YouTube permanently banned the channel for violating its terms of service.
13:05The exact reason wasn't clear, but most people think the sheer number of uploads flagged it as spam.
13:10YouTube never gave an explanation for the ban, which led people to speculate about a darker reason.
13:17After the ban, the mystery deepened. Similar accounts popped up on Google Plus and Twitter,
13:23briefly posting new videos before disappearing again. The last known upload, titled Reset Strange YD,
13:30with the Sagittarius symbol in the front again, went up in 2017, but was deleted within 30 minutes.
13:37That marked the end of the project, or at least the end of what anyone could see.
13:41Many still think there's something more sinister about the whole thing that's yet to be uncovered.
13:46If you've spent any time exploring the darker corners of internet history, you've probably
13:56come across stories about Mortis.com. It was a site that represents the perfect mix of curiosity,
14:02fear, and frustration. It's a relic from the early days of the web, a time when the internet was still
14:07mysterious and largely unexplored. What makes the site so unsettling isn't just what it might have been,
14:13but the fact that no one ever really figured it out. Even now, it lingers as one of the
14:18internet's greatest unsolved mysteries. Mortis.com first went live on November 14th, 1997. At first
14:26glance, it didn't look like much. Just a black webpage with a white text login prompt asking for
14:31a username and password. No instructions, no links, no about section. If you didn't have the login
14:38credentials, there was literally nothing to see. This alone might not sound that unusual. Plenty of private
14:43websites require logins, but it was the scale of the site that caught people's attention.
14:48Investigators discovered that Mortis.com hosted terabytes of data, a massive amount for the late
14:5390s when most people were still using dial-up connections and hard drives measured in megabytes,
14:58not terabytes. One file was reportedly 39 gigabytes in size, which is still huge by today's standards.
15:05For the time, it was mind-blowing. And then there was the name, Mortis, Latin for death. Whether it was
15:12meant to be edgy, symbolic, or just random, it added a creepy vibe that stuck.
15:17Mortis.com might have remained a forgotten corner of the internet if it hadn't been for forums like
15:224chan, where users on boards like X, Paranormal, and G Technology started poking around. Someone
15:29stumbled across the site and posted about it, and things snowballed from there. Some folks claim to
15:34have briefly accessed parts of the site, downloading bits of data before the site went offline, but they
15:40never revealed what they found, if anything. This only made the mystery bigger. Were they silenced?
15:46Did they find something they couldn't share? Or was it nothing and they didn't want to admit it?
15:51Here's where things get even stranger. Most websites, even after they go offline,
15:56leave behind a digital footprint. That's where the Wayback Machine comes in, a tool designed to archive
16:01webpages so they could be viewed later, even if the original site is gone. But Mortis.com went completely
16:07missing. It was intentionally excluded using a file called robots.txt, which tells web crawlers
16:14to not index the site. That might sound like a small detail, but it's actually huge.
16:19Whoever built Mortis.com went out of their way to ensure that no one could track its history.
16:24Why would someone do that unless they had something to hide? The domain was registered to a man with a
16:29bunch of other websites, including Cthulhu.net, EternalNight.com, KarenLing.com, and JoshuaLing.org.
16:37Cthulhu.net featured nothing but a single page with the words,
16:41dead but dreaming, whatever that means. EternalNight.com just showed an image of a glowing
16:47chess piece on a black background, nothing else. The other two led to dead ends, and were tied to
16:53interior design companies that supposedly didn't exist, run by people who had long since passed
16:58away. Investigators also found connections between Mortis.com and seemingly unrelated businesses,
17:05including a dentist's office at an address that turned out to be an empty lot, a high-end
17:09security firm, a lamp company, and a bed and breakfast. The connections were tenuous at best,
17:15but they added to the eerie vibe, making it feel like something bigger, maybe even criminal,
17:20was at play. When questioned, Ling himself reportedly claimed the site was just a storage
17:25space for personal files like wedding photos, but let's be honest, that's hard to believe. Why would
17:31someone need terabytes of storage for wedding photos, much less secure them with industrial
17:35strength encryption, and why would the FBI allegedly get involved? Back on 4chan, people were obsessed with
17:42cracking the site's login page. Even seasoned hackers struggled to make progress, which says a lot about
17:48how well it was protected. Some claimed to have broken in briefly, finding large files with cryptic
17:53names, but they either disappeared from the forums or refused to share details. Rumors spread that the
17:59FBI contacted some of these would-be hackers, warning them off the site. Others said Ling himself pulled
18:06the plug after the site gained too much attention. Whether it was paranoia or reality, many users eventually
18:12abandoned the hunt, fearing they might be getting into something way over their heads. Everything was
18:16seemingly wiped from the internet before the mystery could be revealed, which left more questions than
18:21answers. Over the years, people have floated a ton of theories, some more plausible than others. Some
18:28people believe it was just simply a personal repository for movies, TV shows, or other media. Some
18:34investigators noted links to Usenet files and even suggested the site had an embedded media player.
18:40But this doesn't explain the secrecy, the creepy aesthetics, or the sheer scale of the data. Others
18:46think it was a front for something shady, like a black market operation, human trafficking, or even snuff
18:51films. The empty lots, fake business addresses, and encrypted files certainly make this plausible.
18:58Even after digging through all this, I can't shake the feeling that we're missing something.
19:02The exclusion from the Wayback Machine, the cryptic files, the empty addresses, it just feels too
19:08unsettling to be coincidental. If it was just a hoax or a media server, why go to such lengths to hide it?
19:14And then there's the FBI angle. Why would they get involved if there wasn't something serious going
19:19on? And if Lang shut it down himself, what was he trying to hide? Mortis.com is an internet phenomenon
19:26that we may never get a conclusion to, but there's most likely a good reason for that. One could only
19:31imagine what kind of sick files were in there. Maybe some things are better left unexplained.
