This will be the first of many stories regarding strange and unusual things I find while I explore the Internet.
One of the things I like looking at are creepy videos on YouTube. Since YouTube is the biggest video sharing domain on the Internet, I usually find some cool stuff. This time though, I was very intrigued.
It was a 38 second video called wpkepkw. The link is here.
Obviously, this video is creepy, so I did some research and found the strangest back story I have ever heard for a YouTube video. According to the original poster, the video is cursed. no one knows how, but there are a few theories as to why. Before I get there though, let me tell you what this video apparently does to your computer.
The video is supposed to mess with your computer by playing the video irregardless of how much you try to block it. This is the supposed "curse" of wpkepkw.
The first one is that it was a video of a person moments before their death. According to this theory, the person shown in the video was killed moments after the filming was done. After his death, he haunts the video, making strange electrical anomalies occur after watching. This theory also states that the video will show your time of death during these anomalies. This is the original theory of the video posted by the user, so it would be the most credible.
The second theory is that the video was a government experiment gone wrong. This theory states that the video was altered by a rogue A.I from the Deep Web. The person in the video is simply trying to warn the Internet of the dangers associated with the A.I, and to take caution. This would explain why the video is so strange and unsettling to look at.
Unfortunately, neither of these theories are true. After doing some digging, the person who recorded the curse in action also posted the original. The original video of the curse in action is here.
The video is creepy, but it was the backstory and discovery that earned such a scary reputation.
