4 Most Disturbing Internet Rabbit Holes

My take on Alex from Tennessee is that the original poster wanted to start a creepy ARG with a real-world-location component, got frustrated because no-one wanted to participate (understandably, that's the kind of decision that starts a slasher film), so made a sock puppet account and 'found' the prize himself.

I love how he just gets right into it. No intro no ad just straight content

I'm always highly suspicious of people who found something that's easy to fake and then they never give any update about it after the initial post.

Refreshing to see someone that both tells interesting stories, but also is able to rationalize those stories, and explain the likely truth of matters.

The chick that found her dad on a camera is easy to explain. She's lying for tiktok fame. Obviously.

I love youtubers who dont ramble on about random things for 15 minutes and get right to the point

The skull in the donations box at 9:10 is pretty explainable. Back in the day, archaeologists were allowed to take their work home, including artifacts and bones. They didn't always get returned. I unfortunately know this from experience. Recently, there was an old archaeologist how passed in my general area. In his garage were dozens of boxes full of old government documents, artifacts and both animal and human bones, a vast majority of which were completely unlabeled. I know one of the archaeologists who was brought in to sort through everything. It's been several month and they're still sorting through his garage. If I had to bet, that'd be my guess, and the owner or whoever donated it may've just thrown the box into the donate pile without digging through it. That doesn't make it any less dark or alarming though.

On a lighter note, I once found money in a pair of pants at a Thrift store. I left the money in the pants hoping that a less fortunate guy would buy the pants and find the money when he got home. A few years later I found $350 in an empty aisle at a grocery store. I said "Thank you God!". But I felt guilty so I told my wife who was with me. She said that I had find the owner. I cautiously asked a few shoppers if they'd lost money. I even asked a cashier. She said that she would hold it for me. No thank you. I actually found the owner, a little old lady who was crying at a check out line with an empty Bank envelope. A different cashier was trying to comfort her. I knew this was the owner. I said "Ma'am did you lose this money?" I just handed it to her and walked away.

I just found your channel and I asolutely love it. No chit chat, no stupid remarks or long winded personal anecdotes, right into the stories. Leaving a comment for the algorythm, because you deserve it!

0:00 - Alex From Tennessee 5:17 - Thrift Store Discoveries 9:26 - UVB 76 13:37 - The Disappearance of Doveland Wisconsin

Couldn't we just find out if Doveland existed by pulling an old Atlas? An old Almanac? Encyclopedia? There was literature before the internet lol

The first story had me shook bc I only live thirty minutes away from there 💀

It’s Delavan, Wisconsin, never was Doveland. Sometimes it’s also mistaken as “Dublin”, Wisconsin. The way it’s pronounced can sound like doveland. The people making the mistake have usually only heard the name but never needed to read it or spell it because they heard others that were familiar with it talking about the town.

The really disturbing thing about that first one is that the “clawed hand” looked to me more like the remains of a human hand with the flesh starting to recede from the bone. The discoloration and shriveling of soft tissue is consistent with mummification. It doesn’t prove the poster was responsible for that but it does show they had access to photos of someone who was in that state. Pretty wide range of possibilities after that… everything from them being a student studying forensics, medicine or anthropology to them being an actual killer or someone who found a body and was just cracked enough to take a bunch of photos for their own use. Who knows?

Doveland could have been the name of the actual military housing neighborhood, not the town itself. I was a military kid and we lived in some military housing communities that had their own name some of which could have been mistaken for the name of a town. For example we lived in a navy housing subdivision called Victory Terrace, one called Gold Coast, one called Weary. None of those were cities even though some can feel big enough to be like a hamlet. A lot of older military housing was poorly maintained and much was demolished in the 80s and 90s and later contracted out to civillian companies. I bet Doveland was a small neighborhood of military familg housing inside of a smaller town around there. These places sometime have their own schools, community centers, playgrounds, clinics, convenience stores, etc.

I am one of the few people who actually knows the story behind the Alex from Tennessee thread. I was born and raised in Elizabethton and during the last few years of high school. One of my teachers and I were talking about his daughter getting hundreds of thousands of viewers streaming the end of Club Penguin. Shortly after he casually dropped that his brother was the OP and that he did it as a prank and that it got sort of popular. I'm not quite sure that neither him or OP entirely understand the impact the post made or how it is an iconic piece of the internet. There is not a large amount of people who actually know, just mostly acquaintances of OP and his brother.

Someone probably said it, but I really like how you add a sense of "realness" to these stories. I know that most other horror creators would say that certain events, like Doveland, where "real and unexplainable", but I like that you try not to lead your audience into a lie , and actually give them facts and evidence 🙂

I love finding mysterious items at Goodwill. I've found a lot of cool stuff. I found (on my first trip) a cookbook autographed by the woman who invented the chocolate chip cookie. Another time I found this college yearbook and there were food crumbs on every page where the former owner's picture and name was. She even had a bookmark with her name on it lol

"Middle aged waiter" Shows a guy that just hit 30 🤣
