Cat in the Hat is hiding in this park.. (It's not safe)

Andreas Eskander

Cat in the Hat is hiding in this park.. (It's not safe)  Investigating the rumors surrounding the Cat in the Hat. A local park is linked to strange disappearances, so we went to see.  We heard reports about a park with a sinister reputation, and we needed to find out if it was real. The area is supposedly connected to multiple disappearances, all tied to a mysterious figure known as the Cat in the Hat. We spent the day exploring the grounds to determine if there is any truth to the warnings people have been sharing about this location.  Dealing with such a scary park is never easy, especially when the nature of the threat remains unknown. Whether this creepy entity is a person, a group, or something more menacing is still up for debate. We documented our visit to show exactly what we encountered and why locals are urging everyone to stay away.

Transcript

00:00Right behind me is the park where so many people have been going missing because of cat in the hat.

00:03There's been so many reports linked to this park that they put this sign right here to make sure that

00:07people don't come in.

00:08Because once you come in, you might never come out.

00:10Now the mysterious thing is, nobody knows who or what cat in the hat is.

00:13A lot of people think that he's a person, some people think that he's an organization of people, and others

00:18think he's something way more sinister.

00:19Alright you guys, I'm here with Josh and Alex and today we're investigating the park.

00:23But more importantly, we're investigating as to how the cat in the hat has been able to keep making people

00:27disappear in this park.

00:28Because guys, from what I'm seeing right now, I mean, it looks like just a regular park. Don't you guys

00:32agree?

00:33Yeah, it doesn't look like there's some secret door or anything, right?

00:36Alex, are you finding anything?

00:38I don't know, but I see a bunch of footprints around.

00:40Okay, but the bigger question is, where do those footprints lead?

00:42Because like I said, it's just a regular park.

00:44I mean, beyond that bridge over there, and quite literally just a public street,

00:48there is nowhere else for the cat in the hat or these people to go.

00:51I mean bro, it's the cat in the hat.

00:53For all we know, he could show up out of some weird portal or something, take somebody and put them

00:57in his hat.

00:58Okay guys, we're going to really need to search this park if we actually want to figure out what is

01:01going on.

01:01We started by searching the playground and the surrounding paths, looking for anything connected to the disappearances.

01:06Definitely something more sinister going on that might be the only neighborhood know about and we don't.

01:10Wait, wait, wait, we haven't checked that bridge over there.

01:13So, so you want to go to the bridge?

01:15Yeah, let's go to the bridge.

01:15I mean, as you can tell, the park is right there.

01:17Signs also over there.

01:19But this leads directly to the park and I mean, if I was the cat in the hat, there would

01:24be no security cameras anywhere in this direction.

01:27So, it would be easy for me to, you know, kidnap someone from here, bring them all the way here,

01:31and then just hide them either like down the trail or like underneath the bridge or something.

01:35You know what I'm saying?

01:36I mean, if it is some weird cat in the hat, he probably does some weird stuff and goes under

01:40the bridge.

01:41Yeah, I mean, it is pretty easy access.

01:43Like, I don't know if you could tell, but I mean, look at this.

01:45It goes down for a while.

01:46This looks like it used to be a ravine or some sort.

01:49Yeah, for all we know, he could take them and run off that way and who knows where that leads.

01:53Yeah, but I mean, okay, wait, hold on.

01:55Let's just go underneath the bridge and just look for more clues because, I mean, there has to be something

02:00if he did take them from this area.

02:03Yeah, like, dude, if this is an actual person, then I don't think that they would like stay out here

02:08unless he's like really messed up.

02:09So you think he has some weird base somewhere near the bridge?

02:12I mean, I don't know that or maybe he has like a house somewhere that we don't know about because,

02:15I mean, it doesn't make sense.

02:16The one thing that I noticed about this park is that it's really close to the neighborhood.

02:20Yeah, that's true, but maybe we missed something at the park.

02:23Like, there's got to be a reason that the sign is planted at the park.

02:26Yeah, 100%.

02:27Yeah, we probably should go back.

02:29Okay, wait, why is the sign pointed this way?

02:31You know, it doesn't make sense because that would mean that it's warning more people from that direction.

02:36You know what I'm saying?

02:37It means that, like, somehow the cat in the hat takes people and just, I don't know, like, he goes

02:42on a public street?

02:43It doesn't make sense.

02:44So what, you're trying to say that he leaves that way, like, where the sign is?

02:47100%, because look, look, guys, if you see where that sign is right now, like, it's facing this direction,

02:52which means that the people that have put this here want to warn people from that direction that he's currently

02:57in the park.

02:58So he can't be coming from this way, you know what I'm saying?

03:00Yeah, I get what you mean.

03:02So we shouldn't go near the bridge.

03:04We should go the opposite way.

03:06Yeah, I guess.

03:07I feel like something is happening in this direction instead of that direction.

03:10Okay.

03:11Because, I mean, guys, we already kind of checked the bridge a little bit, and there's nothing there, too.

03:14Yeah.

03:14So I feel like if there was any clues, it would definitely be right here.

03:19Wait, hold on.

03:20Yo, guys.

03:22Yo, there's someone's bag here.

03:23Yo, Josh, come take a look at this.

03:25Is there a bag?

03:25Yeah.

03:27This looks familiar.

03:29Oh, yeah, it does.

03:30Wait, this looks like Alex's stuff.

03:31Wait, it is Alex's bag.

03:33That's her stuff in there.

03:35Wait, what the hell?

03:35There's no way.

03:36Wait, why is her bag here?

03:38I don't know.

03:39Hold on.

03:40Hold this.

03:40Open this.

03:43Oh, yeah, yeah.

03:44This is Alex's.

03:45It says her name right there.

03:46Wait, what the hell?

03:49Okay.

03:49Look, this is all her notes and everything.

03:51Okay, wait.

03:51Why did she just leave her bag here?

03:52This doesn't make sense.

03:53Hey, guys, I'm going to call her right now and just see what's going on.

03:56Yeah.

03:56Maybe she was just, like, visiting the park and forgot it or something.

03:58No, dude.

03:59I don't have a good feeling about this.

04:03Yo, come here.

04:10Dude.

04:14Is that her phone?

04:15Yeah, it's her phone.

04:16Okay, that doesn't make any sense.

04:18I don't think she's okay.

04:19Wait.

04:21Yo, what is that?

04:24Guys, guys, guys, guys.

04:26Yo, this is blood.

04:26I don't know if you saw this earlier, but I didn't see this.

04:29No, I didn't see it either.

04:32Why does it lead all the way over there?

04:34Yeah, but I didn't see anything in the bridge.

04:36Did you?

04:36No, I didn't know.

04:37Okay, wait.

04:38Hold on.

04:41Alice?

04:43Yo, Drake, Drake.

04:45Oh, yeah, there's even more right here, dude.

04:47Look at this.

04:48Bro, what the hell?

04:49And it's fresh, guys.

04:50You can tell that it's fresh.

04:51Okay, you know, you don't think that maybe she got attacked by whatever thing has been here, right?

04:56No, she definitely got attacked by hand in the hand.

04:57And that's why her bag and phone is here.

04:59So that's her blood, then.

05:01Wait.

05:01Alice?

05:04Alice?

05:06Okay, just stay behind me.

05:07Hold on.

05:07Yo, Alice, are you around?

05:10You see anything down there?

05:12Bro, no.

05:13Okay, guys, I don't know what I'm even looking for at this point.

05:17Like, dude, we didn't even find any trails of Cat in the Hat.

05:20So how the hell did he take Alice?

05:21And where did he take her?

05:22I don't know.

05:23We got to keep looking for something.

05:24Hold on, hold on.

05:25Maybe she has something on her phone.

05:26Maybe she was trying to text us.

05:27Because, I mean, if she was in danger, then she would definitely text us, right?

05:30What, you think she was actually trying to message us then?

05:33Like, maybe, like, a call for help before whatever happened?

05:35Yeah, yeah, I hope so.

05:36I mean, maybe she was investigating this stuff without us, and that's what led to this.

05:39Yeah, maybe.

05:40Guys, I'm going to just go in her camera roll.

05:42I hope there's something there.

05:43Can you find something?

05:44Yeah, look, look, guys.

05:45I'm walking here, and I kept hearing, like, this countdown.

05:48Now he's just here walking around.

05:50I don't know what he's doing.

05:51Oh, my God.

05:51No, no, no, no, please.

05:54That's Cat in the Hat.

05:57Bro, what the hell?

05:58Bro, that's actually him.

05:59Okay, so he didn't come from the bridge.

06:01He came from that way.

06:02Like I said, dude, I was right.

06:03Okay, so we got to go that way now.

06:04Yeah, but wait, hold on, hold on.

06:05I got to scrub this footage, dude.

06:07Yeah, dude, look.

06:07He came out of a van.

06:10Look, look, look.

06:11Yeah, that's definitely his.

06:12Yeah, that's, like, his symbol, the hat.

06:13Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, guys.

06:15We have to find out where that van is right now.

06:17Okay, we're waiting for a white van with a red hat.

06:18We got to go now.

06:19Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

06:19But, yo, what I was saying was right, guys.

06:21He literally takes people from the public road

06:24and takes them in his printer.

06:25Okay, so it could still be, like, a regular guy

06:27and not actually some mystical being.

06:29Well, I mean, that would make a lot of sense, dude,

06:31because I didn't think that there was going to be

06:32a secret door underneath that park.

06:33Yeah, obviously there wasn't.

06:34He came out of that white van.

06:35Wait, guys, what is that?

06:38Yo, was that there before?

06:40No, it wasn't there before,

06:41but that's the same one that was on the van, right?

06:43Yeah, wait, do you think that he's somewhere

06:45around us right now, guys?

06:46What, like he's been watching us this whole time?

06:47No, he has to be, right?

06:48I mean, it only makes sense.

06:51Dude, I don't see anything.

06:52No, I don't either.

06:54Okay, guys, you know what?

06:55Let's just get back to the car

06:56because we have a lot of research that we need to do.

07:00Yeah, is that your phone or something?

07:03No, dude, what is that?

07:05It sounds like it's coming from everywhere.

07:07Yo, Josh, Josh.

07:08Five.

07:09Guys, guys, yo.

07:11How did he get in my car?

07:12Yo, yo, yo, run, run, run.

07:13Go, go, go.

07:14Go, go, go, go.

07:16What the hell?

07:17Go, go, go, go.

07:18Dude, what is going on?

07:19I don't know.

07:23I don't know.

07:23I'm going to find you.

07:26We're going to have so much fun.

07:29Go, go, go, go.

07:31Yo, what the hell?

07:32What's going on?

07:34Bro, what is happening?

07:35Where the hell did he come from?

07:36I don't know.

07:37He just appeared, bro.

07:38You're going to pay with a car.

07:41What the hell?

07:43Okay, we've got to be super quiet right now.

07:49Okay.

07:52Okay.

07:54Yo, yo, yo.

07:55Wait, what the hell?

07:56Yo, where's my friend?

07:57Where's Alice?

08:00Not time already.

08:02You're lucky.

08:03I'll see you in the next game.

08:07Dude.

08:08Where'd he go?

08:09What the hell was that?

08:11Did he just, like, teleport into the hat or something?

08:13What was that?

08:13I don't know.

08:15Wait, what do you mean by he'll see us in the next game?

08:18What does that mean?

08:18I don't know, but obviously this isn't just some guy in a costume.

08:21This is a weird, mystical cat creature.

08:23Okay, wait, dude.

08:24Yo, the countdowns and all that stuff.

08:27Dude, and his hat.

08:29Like, do we try to go inside of his hat?

08:30Like, what do we do right now?

08:31I want to follow him?

08:32I mean, we have to.

08:33Wait.

08:36Yo, what the hell?

08:39Guys, there's a letter in here.

08:42Open it up.

08:42What does it say?

08:44Dude.

08:47Now it's your turn to find me.

08:50Okay, wait, guys.

08:51I don't have a good feeling about this.

08:52The fact that we heard countdowns and then, like, it seemed like he was playing a hide-and-seek

08:57game with us, no?

08:58Yeah, it does, but we know where he's hiding.

09:01He's hiding in the hat.

09:02Yeah, but what do you mean hiding in the hat, dude?

09:04Like, it's just the hat.

09:05No, but obviously he went inside somehow.

09:07I think we do have to try and go inside the hat, even though it doesn't make sense.

09:10Okay, guys, there's a lot of questions.

09:11We definitely have to bring this home and figure out what the hell this hat is made out of,

09:14but it just looks like a regular hat.

09:16I don't know if it's, like, something mystical or something.

09:18I honestly think that he just was playing a party trick on us.

09:20Bro, what party trick?

09:22Where do you think he went?

09:22In the ground?

09:23There's nothing there.

09:23Okay, regardless, we have to figure out what the hell's going on, and more importantly,

09:27we have to figure out how the hell he just disappeared, where he took Alice, and if he's playing

09:30a hide-and-seek game with us, okay?

09:31So let's just get back to the house.

09:32Okay, you guys, we have to figure out what's going on with this hat, and more importantly,

09:35that sound that we keep hearing.

09:36Yeah, it's really, really weird, and it's coming out of nowhere, right?

09:39Yeah, let's just replay Alice's video, because I swear there's more clues in it.

09:42Yeah, there's probably something we can find.

09:55Okay, okay, okay, so she also heard a countdown as well.

09:59Yeah, right before she got attacked by him.

10:01Okay, yeah, there definitely has to be something about this on Reddit, or, like, even my Raptive

10:04community.

10:05Guys, let me know in the comments down below if there is anything.

10:07Why don't you see if there's anything about the symbols, like the hat symbols?

10:10Oh, yeah, we have to do that, too.

10:11Okay, let's just go on Reddit right now, and just try to figure that out.

10:14Okay, guys, it says, found this weird signpost deep in the woods.

10:17Anyone know what this is?

10:18Yo, that's definitely his.

10:19Yeah, I mean, bro, it has the hat on top and the bottom.

10:22That's his symbol.

10:23Yeah, that's his exact symbol.

10:24You're right.

10:25Guys, what the hell?

10:27Okay, wait.

10:28Someone came across this, apparently, and he doesn't know where it came from, so, yeah,

10:31it definitely is cat in the hats.

10:33Okay, guys, okay, let me just try to look through the comments here, because there definitely

10:36has to be some more information.

10:37Yeah, there's got to be somebody else who has seen it.

10:40I probably replied to the post, like, with more info.

10:42Oh, yeah, right here.

10:43From the last trail maker, he says, do not follow the arrows.

10:47This is a sick game of hide and seek run by the cat in the hat.

10:51It starts with counting.

10:52If you hear him counting, do not hide.

10:54Yo, that's exactly what we were hearing, too.

10:56Yeah, but this person said do not hide, right?

10:58Yeah, wait.

10:59It says the second you hide from him, you become a player in the game.

11:02Oh, so that's probably what happened to Alice.

11:05If she didn't hide, she wouldn't have actually played his game.

11:07She might have been fine.

11:08Yeah, but wait, does that mean that that happened to us, too?

11:11Because technically, we...

11:12I mean, yeah, right?

11:13We did hide, so it's just a whole game to him.

11:16And he assumes we'll be afraid of him, so he assumes we'll play.

11:19Wait, guys, it says, and leaving the area does not end the game.

11:22Getting back to your car or making it home does not mean you are out.

11:25What the hell?

11:26Wait, and then somebody even replied saying,

11:28what do you mean leaving doesn't end it?

11:29How are you supposed to finish the game?

11:31But no responses, guys.

11:33Okay, so this clearly means that the cat in the hat has trapped us in some sort of hide-and

11:37-seek game

11:37with no way out.

11:39Wait, that means that he's probably somewhere around here.

11:41Yeah, he's probably watching us somehow.

11:44Wait, guys, hold on.

11:45Okay, wait.

11:45I wonder if there's anything else here.

11:47Yeah, like, did anybody talk about him disappearing into the hat like he did with us?

11:50No, the only thing is that specific sign was last seen at Blackwood Ridge Trail.

11:56Okay, he said that we have to take the north entrance, follow the main path, and that's when we'll find

12:00it.

12:00So I feel like that's what we have to do right now.

12:02I feel like that's, like, the one way ahead there.

12:04Yeah, but I just don't know if he's going to be there because, I mean, guys, like I said,

12:07it's just a stupid hat.

12:08There's nothing in here.

12:09Screw this hat.

12:09Honestly, guys, we should probably get going to this trail.

12:12Hopefully, Alice is there, and more importantly, hopefully, we can actually figure out what the

12:15hell the cat in the hat wants for us.

12:17Yeah, look, there's another sign right over there.

12:19Okay, guys, let's just...

12:21Wait.

12:21Dude, isn't that the...

12:25Yo, that's the same Sprinter Van, right?

12:28That's the same exact one.

12:29Yeah, with the same marks on the side.

12:31Yeah, it's on the side there.

12:31I saw it as we pulled in.

12:33Dude, why is it just out here like this?

12:35What the hell?

12:35Yo, yo, let's go outside.

12:37I'm pretty sure this is the north side of the trail too, though, right?

12:40Yeah, because, guys, this is all forest right here, and we're literally on the north side,

12:43like it said in the Reddit post.

12:45So, yeah, I feel like we have to go deep in that forest.

12:47Okay, let's get out quick.

12:55Okay, guys, yeah, hold on a second.

12:57Why the hell is he just parking here?

12:59What is going on?

13:01Dude, it doesn't make sense.

13:01How would he even tell him from all the way over there to all the way here?

13:04I don't know, bro, but he's probably in the forest right now looking for people.

13:08Wait, guys.

13:09Yo, there's no one in here, and it's locked.

13:12Yo, Dre.

13:13Look.

13:13Look at the tree over there.

13:16Dude, what the hell?

13:17That's Alice's face, right?

13:21Yo, yo, the same symbol.

13:22Look, look, look.

13:24Find your friend before I find you.

13:27Lost in the woods, she waits for you.

13:29Every wrong turn brings me closer to.

13:31Find the beginning of each little line.

13:34Take the right path before she is mine.

13:36Dude, what the hell does that mean?

13:37I don't know, bro.

13:38It's just a bunch of rhymes, but we must be playing his game right now.

13:41Okay, wait, guys.

13:42It says, lost in the woods, she waits for you every...

13:44Wait, hold on a second.

13:45Every wrong turn brings me closer to...

13:47Find the beginning of each little line.

13:49The beginning of each line is L-E-F-T.

13:55I mean, dude, on the left side, there is a straight path that goes deeper in the woods.

14:00And, like, you can see it.

14:01Like, that's a full-on path.

14:03The right side doesn't really look like much, so I think he wants us to go down on the left

14:07side.

14:08Yeah, it's just a big game for him, and he wants us to play it.

14:11Okay, guys, well, the sun is getting lower, and I don't know how it gets moving about this,

14:13so we've got to go do this quick.

14:18He's counting it down.

14:20We've got to move, Dre.

14:21Yeah, okay, guys, come on.

14:22Come on.

14:22Give me this.

14:23Let's go.

14:27Yo, Josh?

14:30Dude, how the hell did we get here?

14:32Bro, I don't know what happened, but it seems like we're way deeper in the forest now.

14:36Wait, what the hell?

14:37Yeah, wait, guys.

14:39Yo.

14:41Yo, there's another sign here.

14:44Why is there another sign here?

14:45Yo, this one looks way different.

14:46Why does it say danger like that?

14:48Yeah, and that's his face on the sign.

14:50Well, it definitely means that he's down there with Alice for sure.

14:54Bro, if we go deeper in the forest, there might not be a way to get out.

14:57Okay, well, honestly, I feel like it's a chance that we have to take, dude.

14:59I mean, Alice is down there right now.

15:01Wait, wait, wait.

15:06You're starting.

15:07You're starting, yeah.

15:24Okay guys I feel like it's in my head but the deeper we get down this forest the more

15:30directional it sounds I know but I still can't tell exactly where it is coming from

15:34or just wait what is that flickering all the way down there you see that those are candles aren't
