Yes, yes i see what's happening, but i am standing my ground. I guess I'm stuck with YouTube pranks, edited garbage, and an endless amount of inhumane content.
Thanks.
In this thread you've implied repeatedly that you're aware of the implausibility of paranormal phenomenon but you're still going to watch:
And if you're just doing this for amusement, the Why Files does some pretty entertaining stuff reporting on 'real' (clarification: these are actual things people believe not just made up for their episode) conspiracies and paranormal events, I can enjoy them even as a skeptic. But if you're doing this out of actual interest, belief or just to give both sides of the argument a fair shake, I really really really hope that you will take my advice and figure out if this is truly important, or if this is you self-harming out of stubbornness. Because I have been there and it's really bad for you.
I've been down some pretty dark rabbit holes, but my YouTube feed is full of fake ghost stories right now, and i did go search for LiveLeak things only to learn it's been taken down but an alternative has popped up and it's just terrible terrible videos and pictures.
The site I'm hinting at i found because i was looking up more information on a drowned diver, then veered off into ghost story things. I'm just wanting to be entertained, but also would like to see something that makes my mind say "no way! Wanna know more about it" but it's all fake things.
I did find some posts about Skinwalker Ranch and some strange things happening but some of the commentary doesn't match up to what the video shows.
Being stuck with certain media is out of my control. How am i supposed to watch believable things if they aren't created or posted?
Wanting to see something plausible but not finding it on a site full of influencer trash doesn't make me aware that it's not possible. It just shows that the things available are implausible because of obvious flaws they do show.
While some of it is interesting the paranormal stuff on there is just lame. So unless if you know of sites that host unexplainable things there's only so much i can access. Thanks for constantly just shooting me down 👎
We can't do anything except shoot you down. What you want doesn't exist, not because people are choosing not to create it but because they can't create it. The 'paranormal' isn't real. Anyone that believes it is is insane, and insane people are not known for their ability to tell compelling stories and hold cameras steadily, nor are they known to pursue and publish media invalidating their own delusions. If you want to see convincingly shot footage, watch the X-Files, it's a beautiful show. But that's the best you're going to get. Because the content you crave does not exist.
