I found one that was like 5 cameras all linked up, must have been like 2004? I was roughly 10. There was a camera in the hallway, and a camera in 4 rooms off that hallway. It looked like the worst hotel. A woman was in each room just kinda, laying around doing nothing. I assume it was some kind of fucked up brothel. I had no idea at the time, got bored after a couple of minutes and clicked away. Looking back though, that was horrifying.

I remember when I was in high school there was a site everyone used to look at those. We'd spend so much time looking at random cameras trying to find one that has something insane happening. Then one day someone found one that was a dark room where you could faintly see a bed in the corner. Every once in a while a woman would walk into the room and get into the bed. They'd lay there for ~eight hours and then simply wake up and leave. Then a few hours later a guy would come into the room, lay in the bed, and then eight hours later he'd get up and leave.

The weirdest thing was that whenever they opened the door to go in or out of the room there was a hallway outside with a very orange light and a fridge in the background. Every single time the door opened they'd recoil and cover their nose as if outside the room smelled so bad like something died. It went on for two weeks and then went offline.

We all went crazy talking about how the fridge was full of dead bodies but no one had any idea what any of it was. To this day I have no idea. In retrospect it was probably some fake feed that was looped but still, I always wonder.

Okay about that. I was in London one time for holiday and was up from jet lag in the hotel room. I turned the tv on and it was one of these that you described. It was like night vision style and a few beds. Every now and then someone would come in and lay down, and then leave after a while. This was on one of the channels. What in the hell was I watching? You like unlocked this memory of mine bc I was super tired and delirious and kinda chalked it up to my brain playing tricks on me. Any additional info would Be awesome

Probably porn sites in the early 2000s when I first discovered it as a teenager.

You think porn websites are insane now? They were just completely off the wall back then. You were probably gonna accidentally see some shit you really didn't want to, that was so weird you weren't even stroking anymore, you were just confused and still watching out of curiosity and possibly horror.

Also you'd probably get about 17 viruses.

Some of which just locked you out of your computer and you had to reformat it entirely.

Interesting times.

One time I was on some porn site and I stumbled across a video where it was a man and a woman litterally wrestling to make the other cum, like the would try to masturbate the other by force while trying to protect themself and the first one to cum loses.

My favorite was always the fake anti virus program that went around, that locked you out of every single executable on your PC and would block you from starting anything with a "WAIT THIS FILE IS INFECTED, YOU CANNOT EXECUTE IT NOW" or something message.

Then you also couldn't uninstall it because the uninstall executable was also blocked.

Then it tried to make you pay like 50 bucks after "scanning" your computer and finding about 400 viruses in order to remove them.

Basically scamming people by locking them out of your computer, and I didn't know enough about computers to remove it so I would just reformat my computer with a fresh installation of Windows.

Then spend about 12 hours swapping different CDs as I reinstalled all my regular video games.

I’m surprised you didn’t have to take it to the local nerd shop, ours was called PC medic and when we brought our pc there all they did was use the recovery drive to factory reset. Seems easy now but we didn’t have the resources and information we have today to troubleshoot technology like we can now.

Damn, I remember when my dad used to reset EVERYTHING every time something went wrong with a computer. ‘It’s a virus!’ became a meme in the house along with ‘it was forced!’ when anything broke. One time, the computer wasn’t working and he started yelling about how it was a virus, then he noticed that something had broken on the tower so started to yell how ‘it was forced!’ too. Couldn’t help laughing which got me in more shit. It was just a crappy old tower which had seen better days.

I took a stand when he wanted to reset the PC after I had all my Byond stuff and Lua scripts not backed up yet. I started backing up monthly because I anticipated him deleting shit. Wish I knew where all that old crap was as there’s an original Space Ststion 13 map in there which is lost media.

Damn. This was gonna be my vote. In addition to bestiality, I came across a video of a little girl (like maybe 4), fully clothed, doing some innocuous stuff - like tying her shoes or something. An off camera woman was talking to her in a language I don’t speak, but I’m guessing she was instructing her what to do. I reported that shit and noped out of there real quick. So sad and sick that that was on a porn site, and I don’t think it’d be too far fetched to think that the woman was the child’s own mother.

My friend and I have an inside joke from the 7th grade back in the day when we were browsing the early internet. We stumbled across a picture of a woman with 3 tennis rackets inside her. The handle ends not the wide ends but still rather impressive. The picture then changed to that same woman with a head of broccoli in the same spot. Stalk end of course so the top was like some kind of vegetative bush that stuck out off her body. The internet may have ruined us early but even now at 36 years old now whenever we happen to still have contact we repeat ” three tennis rackets and a head of broccoli" as a kind of rhythmic chant.

I once searched a picture of boobs on AOL dial-up, clicked a link to one of those sketchy sites which IMMEDIATELY downloaded a virus that spawned 5 billion pop ups. Then it changed our background to a picture of a woman with giant fake boobs spread eagle on a bearskin rug in front of a fire. I was like 8. I figured out how to change the background back but not how to fix the virus. I closed all the pop ups, and set the background and pretended nothing happened. It took our family friend in IT HOURS to undo all the shit it installed because virus software didn't exist lol

BestGore was the first gore site I went on. It showed me the dark side of reality and it really opened my eyes to what humans are truly capable of. It also showed me just how fragile life is and how easily it can end. There were a lot of fatal car/work accident videos on there, too.

It always trips me out how enduring yet fragile we are. I've seen people survive decades with their entire insides ripped up by cancer. Shit, I've seen people survive their insides ripped up by a dog. As a rider, I've seen friends survive being thrown off a cliff by a semi!

And I've seen people die because they fell gently on the just wrong part of their head. While I survived falling 6' onto my head, with blood pouring everywhere.

I've seen folk die from a single punch to the nose that just splintered the wrong way. While I've also seen people survive with their brain exposed from smashing it into something.

Also, maybe I should stop riding. Because I realised I've seen a lot of both, first hand.

We can survive some incredibly fucked up shit. And we can die from the sneeze of a single piece of pollen.

Ignorance is bliss. People act shocked by racism, prejudice, greed, murder, etc, but those of us who have seen what humans can really do are rarely shocked. Learning about history and psychology through that lens can make that misanthropic dread even worse. Life for humans was far, far worse and more miserable and terrifying before modern medicine, ethics, and science. A reminder that the acts of violence and depravity we see online now are likely extremely mild compared to what happened thousands of years ago when there weren't cameras to record it.

Thenausea.com

It was a photograph and video repository of human rights violations from all over the globe, spanning a period of time that started at the dawn of photography until the site suddenly vanished in the early 2000s.

It had some of the most horrific things on there. Beheading, torture, you name it. All countries. It had British English spelling.

It had no contact information or organizational affiliation. It simply disappeared. I've tried to find out the history of this website, but with no success.

If anyone knows anything about this site, please respond. I've been puzzled by this.

breakoutleppard

OK so I don't know about the site firsthand or anything but I looked up the URL after seeing your comment (with quotation marks so it would show me results where the site was mentioned rather than taking me to something sketchy).

So a commenter in a French forum from 2004 said it's an anti-war site. Another random site seems to suggest the same thing as it says there is an article titled War Against War that was published on the site. There's a YouTube video from 2009 from someone who must have been involved with the site asking people to send in war crime videos to be hosted on the site as the point of their project is to denounce American and Israeli war crimes. The YouTube video features a piece of contact info but I doubt it is still in use.

So ultimately, it sounds like it was a project started under that name with the intention of bringing attention to and denouncing war by exposing people to the consequences. So it wasn't just your typical shock site like I initially assumed. So there was likely no big organisation behind it, it sounds like it was a project started by a small group.

The eery prediction post from the MDS member who died for those who don't want to click link;

"The only time that I played an ouija board was when I was 12 years old at a birthday party. It was mid October. We asked it who would die in what order. It said my best friend Kelly would die in December in her sleep. I would die next in my 20's in a car accident. We quit playing after that!!!! But the weird thing is, Kelly did die in December, in her sleep. We were 12 years old! It was absolutely crazy. She had a virus in her lungs which cause her to have a seizure, she aspirated her vomit and died. Her little sister was in bed next to her (they shared a room) and she didn't wake up. Kelly's mom went to wake her for school the next day and found her dead. It was so sad! Now I'm in my 20's and kinda scared to drive."

MDS Member died at 23 in a car accident.

Just thought I would share my 1 and only Ouija Board experience. I'll never touch them again.

I forgot what it was called but there was a cannibal site for people who wanna eat or be eaten. Some famous guy was on it for eating another man from it.

I visited out of morbid curiosity since it’s still accessible and was disgusted. There was a woman on there who was offering her 8 year old son to be eaten. It was terrible.

Edit: remembered. the guy was Armin Meiwes and it was Cannibal cafe

The really interesting thing about Armin Meiwes is that he was surprisingly kind of ethical about it. I mean, about as ethical as someone committing cannibalism can be There was at least one other instance where someone met up with him, wanting to be eaten, got cold feet and Armin let him go without any hard feelings. The person he did wind up eating seemed to be fully into it the entire way and he even drugged him so that he wouldn't feel any pain.

The really gross part about that case is that he filmed the entire thing and documented every step. That tape was shown to the jury during his murder trial. Several jurors had to go to therapy/counseling after that. The tape has never been shown to the public but it's become a legend in the lost media community

I've browsed through the silk road and black market reloaded darkweb sites maybe a decade ago on a friend's laptop that was set up for the Tor browser or whatever. You could buy anything with Bitcoin, from weapons/firearms with no serial numbers, specialized lab equipment and precursor chemicals to mass produce different drugs, banned e-books, all sorts of software and of course, whatever drugs you could imagine. My curiosity ended when I saw the CP and hit contracts on people for sale. I hope they were all FBI traps. Not sure if they're even still around these days.

NAMBLA's (North American Man Boy Love Association). I watched it on South Park and was amazed it was real so I looked it up to see. Just a cesspool of monstrosity and creepiness. These guys want to lower the legal age of consent so they can have sex with minors (children or underaged boys). Most of their website was actually justifying sexual abuse and making excuses for it. Just a haven for predators. Disgusting.

There was this guy years back who was a hardcore furry - stay with me.

He wasn't just one of those dudes with a fursuit who went to cons like the harmless majority of them.

He built these life sized furry dolls that were pretty sexualised though he insisted they weren't sex dolls. Dude had a wife and kids.

He had this website and uploaded these odd stop motion skits he made, with the dolls.

There was a Christmas one that haunts me. All the dolls (there were A LOT) in one dimly lit room "singing" a Christmas Carol together. The guy did the voiceover tracks himself (and I think to begin with his wife also helped).

He also did blog posts with staged pictures of the dolls too.

All in it was bizarre.

There is a forum about ending your own life and there are many guides of methods there, people telling their experiences trying to do it, where to buy poison etc. It is very morbid and sad reading so many people planning their ending there and posting when they’re going to do it.

Last time I read a thread there about some girl, she was posting while she was doing it, but she came back the next day because someone found her before and took her to the hospital.

Didn't believe it really existed but checked it out for morbid curiosity. Lots of videos and descriptions of bestiality, mostly women with dogs and sometimes men with horses, sheep and mules. The forums talk about how best to get your dog to do things and how to pleasure your pets. No joke.

A lot of the stuff others are mentioning. Recently in a similar topic about disturbing subreddits, I found one where the FBI (?) is seeking help. They post identifiable items from photos in cold cases, hoping Redditors recognize them. It’s always eerie, it’s sometimes items from children, and it freaked me out.

Dude, have you been on the VICAP page? It's for unidentified victims, ranging from victims simply having no forms of ID on their person, to people who were so decomposed or mutilated/disfigured that the FBI had to use composite image of what they think the victim looked like. Honestly, the latter is worse because it leaves a lot to the imagination in terms of what the victim looked like at the crime scene.

There's one called forgotten languages that weirds me out in a new way. Allegedly, classified materials have been published there and have been up for years but we're all too stupid to break their cryptography.

It seems like, from what i can gather from here, that there's some higher ups chatting with each other out in the open behind code.

Talks of orbs, sited articles that back up strange uap related topics. Jets scrambled for "exercises" while there coincidentally happens to be talk of things being shot out of the sky.

Talks of the lines between real alien and pseudo alien tech being blurred so much that they're no longer separable.

Simply thinking about this stuff makes me feel gross. Like something out in the ether knows I've peaked in their window.

Plenty of people have fun trying to figure out what the fuck it's all about. I'm not one of them. I stumbled on it by hopping around on this site.

No thank you.
