00:00 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the Reddit posts that were
00:09 created under suspicious circumstances and have yet to be fully explained.
00:17 Number 10.
00:19 Hotel Zaza Name a better duo than the internet and insane
00:23 conspiracies based on creepy occurrences.
00:26 When someone mentioned their friend's unnerving room at Hotel Zaza featuring absurdist art
00:32 and with various skulls and chains adorning the walls, users automatically assumed the
00:37 worst.
00:38 The claims varied from marketing schemes to secret societies.
00:41 Further looks on the hotel's website show that the room didn't even exist in their
00:45 database.
00:46 The most alarming aspect came when the OP claimed to have been offered a bribe to drop
00:51 the threat entirely.
00:53 Right now, the most plausible explanation was that their friend was in a prototype of
00:57 a themed room.
00:58 But we'll never know for sure, considering it's been over a decade since the last update.
01:03 Number 9.
01:05 Unfavorable Semicircle What is it about odd videos that makes them
01:08 so captivating?
01:09 When a YouTube channel called Unfavorable Semicircle started publishing videos en masse
01:15 in 2015, it caught Reddit's attention.
01:18 Thousands of clips were put up while they were active, ranging between 5 seconds and
01:23 9 hours.
01:32 Theories were created almost immediately.
01:34 Some were more benign, like those suggesting it was an alternative reality game or abstract
01:40 art.
01:41 Others felt like the videos were coming from a more insidious place, and claimed that they
01:45 were the work of a cult.
01:52 While the original account doesn't exist anymore, the conundrum still lives on.
01:57 There's even a website dedicated to documenting the videos and their potential meaning.
02:01 It's a deep rabbit hole, and the answer may never be found.
02:15 Number 8.
02:16 Mystery Rock Song On r/TipOfMyTongue, a member posted a snippet
02:21 of a song they heard from a now-deleted video.
02:24 They assumed that it had been recorded in the 1980s or 90s, but had no other information
02:28 pertaining to its potential source.
02:40 When played, a slightly muted soft rock song is heard.
02:43 Although it sounded familiar, no one could pin down any verifiable details.
02:48 Guesses ranged across decades and artists, with the Smiths and the Squeeze being both
02:53 popular yet controversial estimates.
02:56 Googling the lyrics and using Shazam also didn't help.
02:59 After a year of arguments in the comments and no follow-up, the request was locked.
03:04 To this day, it still hasn't been found, although some believe it was recorded by a
03:08 smaller band that never took off.
03:18 Number 7.
03:19 Sleep As Android Recording When recording yourself sleeping, you may
03:23 catch a few noises like a snore or a mumble.
03:26 What's less likely is hearing a series of clicks and deep voices.
03:32 Hearing that prompted someone to present the clip "r/ghosts", where they asked for
03:37 confirmation of the spooky occurrence.
03:39 The response was mixed.
03:41 Some told them that it was a home invasion, while others doubled down on it being a spirit.
03:46 Considering there was only one recording, there wasn't a lot to go off of.
03:53 Besides the poster's explanations, while she did upgrade her home security and didn't
03:58 hear any more voices, the clicking ended up being a semi-regular occurrence.
04:07 Eventually, she and her son moved out entirely, leaving the mystery behind for good.
04:12 Number 6.
04:14 Wi-Fi Beneath Concrete Pad After moving to an urban farm, someone noticed
04:19 something rather unsettling – a group of functioning Wi-Fi signals emanating from underneath
04:24 a concrete pad.
04:25 The curiosity got the better of them and they performed various experiments, including using
04:30 a thermal camera and pouring water into drilled holes to gauge the depth.
04:34 OP wasn't the one paying for those routers, which means someone else was, and they couldn't
04:39 figure out why.
04:40 They were completely convinced they had stumbled across a trafficking ring, while others guessed
04:45 it was a money laundering scheme.
04:47 Both posts made about the topic didn't get much traction, and there hasn't been new
04:51 information in over seven years.
04:53 What's underneath may never be found out, for better or for worse.
04:57 Number 5.
04:59 Coffin in the Driveway What would you do if you came home to a sealed
05:03 casket?
05:04 In this Redditor's case, the answer was to upload it to r/WTF.
05:09 It included a snapshot of the ominous box, which appeared to have been casually dropped
05:13 off in the middle of their driveway.
05:15 After being convinced to open it, they found a single key and a set of coordinates that
05:19 led to a cemetery in Western Europe.
05:22 This is where people started to get skeptical.
05:25 Some brushed it off as an attempted viral campaign and decried it as fake.
05:29 Others weren't quite so convinced and encouraged OP to continue their investigation.
05:34 Alas, nothing was ever found out, and after nine years, it appears it will unfortunately
05:40 stay that way.
05:41 Number 4.
05:42 The Bridge Some things are better left unexplored.
05:46 Over a decade ago, r/LetsNotMeet was hit with a terrifying post about a group of friends
05:52 that explored an old bridge.
05:54 While inside, they eventually came across an open space, consisting of several chilling
05:59 items.
06:00 There were eyeless images on the wall, a chair, and even a bloody contraceptive.
06:05 They were able to get out safely, but OP ended up going back after their story took off.
06:09 The sequel was just as menacing, with new discoveries and pictures to back up the claims.
06:15 No other updates were made, leaving observers to put the pieces together.
06:19 To this day, people are unsure if they stumbled upon an unhoused person's shelter, or if
06:24 the whole thing was well-written fiction.
06:26 Number 3.
06:28 The Mystery Button The website is known for their April Fool's
06:31 Day jokes, but this one was an anomaly.
06:34 The button had a simple concept.
06:36 A timer would count down and would restart whenever someone clicked it.
06:40 It became a widespread internet phenomenon, with people coming from all over to take their
06:44 turn.
06:48 What started out as a fun game devolved into an odd cast system.
06:52 Each user was given a colored flare based on their participation and when they pressed.
06:57 Somehow this devolved into a cult-like mentality, with leaders to go with it.
07:02 It lasted months before finally ending.
07:04 No one knows why they left the gag running for so long, as the button had accidentally
07:08 hit zero multiple times.
07:11 Or why it was taken so seriously.
07:16 Number 2.
07:17 The 432 Mystery This may have started on 4chan, but over time,
07:22 Reddit took over the reins.
07:24 It started with a sinister email stating that the receiver had been chosen, with a link
07:28 to a mysterious site.
07:29 They were only able to reach it by accessing the dark web.
07:33 Over time, puzzles were uploaded and subsequently solved.
07:37 Things took an alarming turn when the administrators started uploading the names and photos of
07:41 people playing.
07:42 Despite that, participants were still committed to finding out the truth behind the twisted
07:46 story.
07:47 One day, the owner went silent and stopped updating.
07:50 While people still used r/432mystery to continue the search, the sub was eventually shut down.
07:57 This means we may never know who started the project and, more importantly, why.
08:16 Number 1.
08:19 The Box of Crazy About a decade ago, a user came across a
08:23 sealed briefcase.
08:25 After getting it open, they discovered a variety of contents.
08:28 On the calmer side were blueprints and a table of elements.
08:32 Things devolved from there.
08:34 Drawings of UFOs and multi-headed entities occupied the pages, getting more horrifying
08:39 in detail.
08:40 It was clear that whoever had drawn these was dedicated to their beliefs to an extreme
08:44 degree.
08:45 Some commenters posited that it was most likely someone struggling with their mental health
08:49 who had become obsessed with the Bible verse.
08:52 However, others couldn't help but feel there's something much deeper to this enigma.
08:56 And they're still holding out for answers.
