- Stories of cursed books, images, and films
have been spreading around for as long
as anyone can remember, but the dawn of the internet
brought with it a new medium for evil.
That's right, there are dozens and dozens of videos
on YouTube right now which are allegedly cursed.
Watch at your own risk as this is going
to get progressively creepier.

Here are 10 cursed YouTube videos you can't watch.
Number 10 is Real Cursed Video.
Uploaded on February 19th, 2015,
this video, appropriately called Real Cursed Video
has a warning that it's haunted
and that viewers should beware watching it
right in the title.
It features a field of stars which move about
in an attempt to disorient those watching.
The video's description invites you
to put on high-quality headphones,
turn of the lights, and stare into your monitor
as you watch the images slowly zoom in, out,
or warp into a starry mess.
As you do this, you will apparently start to go numb
and get a feeling of tingling in your body,
which the uploader, a user named TunnelPipes,
claims is like having the static from television
turned to a bad channel rumbling under your skin.
Many have reported feeling the very effect,
some of them unable to shake it for days.

Number nine is WPKEPKW.
On August 16th, 2014, a video titled WPKEPKW
was uploaded to a YouTube channel called FXG RYN.
An unidentified woman claimed to look for the video
after hearing rumors about it only appearing to people once
and revealing to them the date
that they will ultimately die.
It took several attempts, but she eventually saw it
pop up in her search results.
It was then that she began seeing an image from the video,
the blurred face of a deformed person
on the computer screen, which, in the clip itself,
was accompanied by unsettling sounds.
Since then, tales of finding this video have stopped,
and copies have been uploaded to other accounts.
But what the video actually depicts
and how it kept vanishing are unknown.

Number eight is This Video May Induce Nightmares.
If for some reason you're tired of having calm dreams
of nice images, then there's a terrifying fix just for you,
and it happens to be a YouTube Video.
Uploaded on July 17th, 2015, this video
titled This Video May Induce Nightmares
features noises which alternate between high and low pitches
and random, sudden sounds that are often startling.
It also contains little to no color
and a bizarre sequence of images
which are clearly edited in that particular order
to make the viewer uncomfortable
and include strange animations, creepy puppets,
lions eating a fresh kill, and spinning pictures
of a suburban neighborhood.
Much like the title suggests, watching this clip
can lead to having awful nightmares
which can leave the viewer shaken for days.
(spooky music)
Number seven is The Grifter.
Described as a soul-rendering experience,
this video is considered by many to be one
of the most chilling videos on the internet.
More like collage of images pulled from a person's nightmare
than a simple YouTube video, The Grifter
was first mentioned on the website 4Chan
on the image board sometime between 2007 and 2009.
Multiple people came forward after watching it,
saying that they'd been negatively affected
by the clip's contents.
It's been claimed that simply watching the video
one time through will bring the viewer
nothing but pain and madness
as they begin to lose their minds,
traumatized by what the clip has put them through.
While some of the images in The Grifter
have been taken from foreign films,
its effect on those watching it has been very apparent.
(spooky music)
Number six is Username 666.
On February 28th, 2008, a video titled Username 666
was shared via YouTube.
Anyone who tried to watch the video
saw that the user had been suspended.
However, those who happened to refresh the page
multiple times suddenly found themselves
watching a disturbing video which began to corrupt things
not only within the confines of the video player
but on the viewer's internet browser and operating system.
The virus allegedly changed all readable text to 666,
and some even claimed to have their web cams turned on.
Viewers of 666 reported being shaken,
and at least one individual lost their job
because of what they saw.
Should you ever find a way to access 666's channel,
be warned that you could find yourself
not only with a computer full of devastating viruses
but a truly warped view of the world.
(spooky music)
Number five is Obey the Walrus.
First uploaded to YouTube on October 5th, 2007,
Obey the Walrus begins with Andross,
the main antagonist of the video game series StarFox,
singing the nursery rhyme The Itsy Bitsy Spider in Spanish.
Seconds into the clip, psychedelic images begin to appear,
swirling about in different patterns like a screensaver
before the scene abruptly cuts to clips
of the goddess bunny, an incredibly thin person
tap dancing in a creepy fashion
as the nursery rhyme distorts and gets louder.
The clip suddenly ends with a picture of a walrus.
The original video has been taken down,
but since then many copies have been re-uploaded.
Regardless of which one you watch,
you will allegedly been met with hardship
as bad things begin to happen to you.
(spooky music)
Number four is You Have 20 Seconds to Stop This Video.
While most of us would probably jump at the chance
to reconnect with a diseased loved on,
if it means following through with the curse
that the video comes with, it might lead you
to being the next dead loved one contacted by the living.
Titled You Have 20 Seconds to Stop This Video,
this clip literally gives you exactly
what its title suggests: 20 seconds to turn it off.
After watching, the viewer will be visited
by dead family and friends, first in nightmares,
before they gradually begin appearing in the real world.
Those who watch are warned never to speak to
or follow any loved one's ghost,
as they will be led to their own demise.
The only way to end the curse is to share it with someone,
who will then be the new victim.
(spooky music)
- [Man] Why?
- Now that you've seen it, you may want
to share this video with someone to avoid it yourself.
Number three is The Broken Heart Curse.
This unnerving video resembles the cursed tape
from the Hollywood movie The Ring,
in that it features several people
seeming losing their minds
as they succumb to whatever experiment
the creator put them through,
cut in with random disturbing clips
like clumps of hair being pulled from a person's mouth
and a wheelchair moving on its own.
The video's description claims that,
should the viewer watch the clip in its entirety
and somehow broken the video creator's heart in the past,
then they would be added to the deranged woman's list
of future victims.
Furthermore, their demise will then be added
to the video itself so it can be witnessed
by others about to join them.
(spooky music)
Number two is The Curse of Sarah Black.
Imagine checking out a random video on YouTube
only to read a disclaimer before you watch anything
which says this video could kill you.
Well that's exactly what the description
of this particular video does.
Excessively titled Cursed Video Scary
Do Not Watch Haunted Video, this clip is said to be haunted
by the ghost of Sarah Black, a woman from Ireland
who possessed supernatural abilities,
including the power to open gateways to other worlds.
It's believed that Black's spirit was summoned
and placed in this sequence of images
from which she brings slow, painful deaths
to those who dare to watch them,
their first warning sign being a slight headache.
The video's description goes on to say that,
once you press play, there's no going back.
(spooky music)
And number one is The Cursed Kleenex Commercial.
While Kleenex tissues are a staple
in homes around the world,
especially when we're sick or suffering from allergies,
at leas one of their commercials seems to be giving out
a feeling of anything but supportiveness.
One particular commercial was broadcast
on television in Japan in 1986,
but was apparently so disturbing to viewers
that it was pulled off the air shortly after its debut.
The video, which found its way to YouTube in 2006,
features a strange baby and its apparent mother
who's holding a tissue.
Rumor has it that the cast and crew behind the commercial
all suffered tragic deaths or accidents
shortly after filming it, a curse which still exists today.
Anyone who watches this video
could be next to have a misfortune or accident.
