Mysterious and Disturbing Websites

foreign chaos.com Beauty and chaos.com is a website that was created back in 2003 the text on the landing page reads there can be great Beauty and chaos and after clicking the link you'll be taken down an endless Rabbit Hole of seemingly randomly generated pages some of the pages look normal enough but others contain mysterious images and strange dark messages what makes this website so unusual is that every time a page is refreshed a different version of the same page appears in other words no two website visits are exactly the same and many people have reported that the deeper you go into the site The Stranger each page becomes if you click on enough links you'll most likely end up on a page with an unsettling message that links to even more pages on the site like this one for example with an odd paragraph addressing the reader as little baby there seems to be some bigger specific narrative to the page order but I couldn't really make sense of it at first it looks like every link leads to a page that shares a common word with the previous one but eventually the order of the pages seems to become random disturbingly some of the links open pop-ups and prompted downloads that my computer instantly blocked I didn't see what these downloads were and I wouldn't recommend trying it this was one of the creepiest pages I found which alternated between a series of chilling messages like life is simply a tangent on the way to death and you're already dead after clicking around on the website for a while I noticed a small link in the bottom right hand corner with the name Paul grimkowski the link leads to a Blog with an introduction and an explanation for some of the website's features according to the blog Paul grimkowski is an engineer at IBM and a web developer that created beauty and chaos.com as a way to willingly defy internet conventions says it does this by exploring the results that can emerge when a collection of images words sounds puzzles and thoughts are allowed to roam free on the internet there's also multiple links on the blog that lead to some of the artists other websites but they all eventually end up looping back to beauty and chaos.com at first the blog seems to clear up a lot of questions but one question that isn't answered on the blog is if all the pages are randomly generated why are there so many pages with dark creepy messages about death pain and desperate cries for help throughout the website [Music] enrichs.angelfire.com although enrichstanangelfire.com was taken down back in 2018 many theories regarding the meaning of the site are still surfacing today the home page showed a picture of a woman in a doctor's coat next to a description of a disease called nrx according to the explanation translated into English enrichs and gomex syndrome are diseases that stem from a genetic mutation and glandular tissue cells the strange thing about this website is that enrichs and gomex syndrome don't actually exist which has made a lot of people wonder about the real purpose of the site at the bottom of the page there's a series of numbers that look like coordinates which correspond to a street in Ontario Canada right next to a church but there doesn't appear to be a connection between the website and the location eventually people started noticing that there was a lot more to this page for example if you click on the picture of the woman her face starts to get distorted with every click her face starts to take on a more disturbing appearance and the text becomes corrupted until it's pretty much illegible after clicking on the image five times a page with a picture of a smiley face comes up an eerie distorted message on the left reads please wake up and thank you for visiting our website on the site's navigation bar there's a tab called nrx that leads to an image of a blue key next to some corrupted text clicking on the key Loops the user back to the home page but there's another Link at the bottom of the page that reads bypass login the link leads to another page with a hidden message in the corrupted text that reads the dream is over Tyler strangely there's no other reference to this Tyler and any of the other pages on the site but the page gets even stranger below the message there's a series of numbers which again look like coordinates after searching on Google Maps I found that the coordinates correspond to a seemingly random location at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean people have tried to make sense of this but haven't really found a clear connection between the diseases the coordinates and the creepy messages scattered throughout the website but what's most disturbing about this page is the chilling video in the middle of the screen which shows a distorted image of a woman reciting a series of three-digit numbers I later found out that the numbers can be decoded using a table from the American Standard code for information interchange when translated to letters the message spells evident agenda many people have reported that the video was taken from an alternate reality game for the TV show Lost but once again there seems to be no solid connection between the show and the rest of the page the last tab on the site's navigation bar is the contact page the link leads to an explanation of internet browsers and on the left there's a link that says contact administrator if you click on the link it takes you back to the home page but as you might have guessed there's something hidden in the link after inspecting the Link's source code one person found a line in the code that reads mail to Tyler some people have speculated that this is the same Tyler from the message in the login page but there's no real evidence to confirm this henrix is a website that has caused a lot of speculation since its creation back in 2011 and people continue to discover hidden messages in the site to this day unfortunately nobody really knows what any of them mean one Reddit user did a reverse image search on the picture of the doctor on the home page and found that she's actually a prosthodontist from a random dental clinic in Bangkok Thailand strangely there doesn't seem to be a particular reason why our image was chosen another user pointed out that whoever wrote the description on the home page clearly didn't speak Thai and said that it's likely that the text was first written in English and then translated to Thai it's unknown whether this is true another person found that if you click repeatedly on the blue key it leads to a 634 page PDF in Thai about a mental health clinic that doesn't actually exist I wasn't able to find it myself but apparently the PDF belongs to an organization called the Department of Mental Health in Thailand the connection between this organization and the fake diseases is still unclear while researching the websites in this video I often notice many of them asking me to create an account or give them some of my personal information this is obviously something I would never do on these kinds of sites but it got me thinking who I can actually trust with my personal information even reputable businesses have data breaches or sell your personal information to data Brokers for a profit I mean let's be honest our personal data is out there whether we like it or not you likely get multiple calls from unknown numbers or spam emails wondering how they got your information in the first place and it's likely because data Brokers sold your information to multiple different unwanted companies this is where incogni comes in the sponsor of this video see these data Brokers have to delete your information upon requests by live but requesting the removal of your information from likely hundreds of data Brokers is a tedious and monotonous process by design by giving incogna your permission you can sit back and watch them reach out to those companies on your behalf and read your personal information from these data Brokers automatically gone are calls from unknown numbers or spam emails from companies you've never even heard of not only that but incogni also protects you from more intense uses of your personal information like huge loans being taken out in your name for example the first 100 people to use our promo code chilling scares at checkout will get 60 off of incognity so if you want to protect your information online sign up for Incognito by clicking the link in the description below south32.com south32.com is a website for a so-called International Film Production Company of the same name upon visiting the site the disorganized layout and badly written description immediately come off as strange but I wouldn't really describe the page as creepy just a bit off-putting the landing page is crammed with accusations directed toward two men named Graham Kerr and Andrew McKenzie claiming that the two men broke trademark by creating a phony spin-off company using the same name South 32 which supposedly belonged to a well-established brand already according to the text this destroyed the online visibility of south32.com throughout this site there's also multiple mentions of a movie called South 32 which is a real murder mystery movie that was released in 2016. from my research the writer for this low budget movie is a man named Luigi Beyond which interestingly is also the name of the real CEO of the South 32 company according to the information on the website if you search for Luigi Beyond online you'll find suspicious news articles and videos of people praising his work and achievements but the videos seem active and obviously scripted it was later found that Luigi Beyond is not a real man but a fake name used by a man named Saeed Yom tobian as a cover-up in one of the most notorious domain squatting schemes of the century it's estimated that Saeed bought almost 80 000 domain names almost identical to the names of other large organizations and use them to redirect to south32.com for example he owns usaarmy.org and upon entering it into Google will redirect you to south32.com once he bought the domain names he was known to upload cryptic messages and disturbing text and images to the sign under the other company's names this would eventually Force the companies to either Sue or buy the domain name at an inflated price which is exactly what he tried to do with South 32 a multi-million dollar mining company based in Australia the mining company refused to buy south32.com and instead use the domain name south32.net one year later Yom tobian released his film and used the same name for it allegedly he did this to have legal justification for owning that domain name and avoid getting sued but if you search for saidion tobian online you'll find that several companies such as Fox group Playboy and Bank of America have already sued him and won considering how expensive it is to maintain 80 000 websites which can easily cost hundreds of thousands of dollars annually it's hard to know why syedium tobian would do something like this some people have suggested that it might not actually be just him behind all this and that the cryptic messages hidden in some of the sites leading to south32.com might be encoded instructions for the Transporters of an international ring of people trafficking others other theories suggest that it's all a massive marketing Ploy for the South 32 movie but it wouldn't really make any sense to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to promote an unknown low budget movie that was released seven years ago for almost 10 years people have tried to make sense of south32.com but haven't really ever gotten a sought answer gandalf.com gandalf.com is a website with a single image of a painting of a creepy woman at the end of a long wooden hallway on the home page after clicking on the image once a message pops up that reads Gandalf is busy please go away if you click on the image again it brings up the link to an email address some Reddit users have reported sending emails to that address to ask the website owner about the website's purpose but nobody's ever gotten a response back using the Wayback machine I was able to see some of the previous versions of the site from my research the first capture of the site's current version dates all the way back to October of 2000. apparently the domain has been active since 1998 and used to belong to mitel Canadian telecommunications company but the domain was later bought by the current website owner and the scientists stayed exactly the same for almost 23 years usually random sites like these tend to get taken down after the owner stops paying for the domain name but as I said before the site has been up for almost 23 years it's unclear why someone would pay to keep a website like this up for so long and never respond to the emails that users send to the listed address many people think that the website owner only bought the domain name in the hopes of selling it to the trademark owner at a higher price which was very common in the early days of the internet this is obviously illegal but the fact that the site went up after it was announced that the Lord of the Rings saga would be turned into movies makes this a possible Theory though it hasn't been confirmed whether this is actually the case 973 e h t n a m u h973.com this is a much more disturbing and complex website the website's name is actually the words the human spelled backward and upon visiting it you'll be met with this upside down triangle showing one letter being removed from the word Abracadabra in each line the first couple of pages on the site are a little strange but not exactly creepy but as you go deeper into the site and start to navigate The Links hidden in each page the more unsettling the images and texts become with over one hundred thousand active pages on the site and very little explanation for each one it's almost impossible to know exactly what the purpose of this site is there seems to be Pages upon pages of mathematical equations revolving around the number nine as well as obscure references to the Bible Hinduism Egyptian mythology and occult spirituality the equations which are sometimes expressed in mysterious images and number grids seem to be some sort of complex mathematical proof but with so many pages it would have been impossible for me to make sense of them all after a while I came across the link that led me to the website's public forum this is where it gets a bit disturbing some of the language the site members use on the Forum is pretty cryptic just like the rest of the site and there's a lot of posts by users thanking a man named David Dennison for enlightening them and setting them free I later found out that David Dennison was a British surrealist artist who was obsessed with numerology and the Occult he was the owner of the website and although David has been dead for nine years the website has continued to be updated and the form is still very much active the mysterious artwork scattered throughout this site were all painted by him but it's hard to see a clear connection between his art and the equations and the religious references I found throughout the site the most disturbing message I found on the Forum was posted recently by a user named White Rabbit who claims to have had an epiphany after solving the science complex numerical puzzles after five years of studying the website the message reads I will be frank I spent at least five years studying this website and spent a lot of hours to guide myself through this maze can tell you the results but it is dangerous and there is a side effect that affected me in a strange way David Dennison the creator of this site was more than just a mathematician a Linguistics artist and a cultist but someone that is very very versed in alchemy this site was a puzzle a maze with a series of dead ends and one path to navigate through it yet the ironic part of it it is one of those puzzles where you start at the beginning and only to end up at the beginning The Only Exception is that you have the key to the puzzle which is right in front of you the whole time and it makes perfect sense I won't post the result here only because it works too well I am happy to answer any questions and pertains to the site but if you want to know the answer I will not be accountable for any side effects that come after Epiphany seeks the devoted not a lot is known about this site but many people have claimed that the forms are used as a way to recruit people into a cold which some of the forms users have confirmed if you choose to visit this site be careful not to give away any personal information on the forums I wouldn't recommend registering as a member either but make sure not to use a login and password that you use for other sites if you do obsidiansnow.net obsidiansnow.net is a website that was created in 2014. the site is linked to another strange website that has received a lot of attention in online communities called heykate.net the home page is pretty much just a black background and a triangle made up of six white circles when I clicked on one of the circles it led me to a page with dozens of links to other oddly named pages and I ended up on a PDF of what seems to be some sort of graphic novel some of the other Pages contain symbols that downloaded various types of files to my computer after I clicked them although most of these files were password protected many people have been able to access some of them and have reported finding disturbing images of human skulls sound files with creepy noises and random videos with no apparent meaning hidden in the files there doesn't seem to be a solid explanation regarding the purpose of this site but some people think that there's a hidden message in some of the puzzles it's unclear whether this is actually the case but the amount of attention this site has received over the years suggests that there might be more to this website than meets the eye one of the links I clicked led me to a page with images of bingo cards with Spanish names after clicking on the image of the spider animations of ants and spiders started crawling across my screen it appeared to be some sort of game but I couldn't really figure out what the page was for because the PDFs were password protected from what I was able to see obsidiansnow.net is a collection of pages featuring cryptic puzzles and downloadable files containing everything from Diary entries random stories cryptic poems ritual instructions strange drawings and unsettling videos and images it's unclear whether obsidiansnow.net is just a puzzle website made for entertainment or if there's something more disturbing going on [Music]
