Weve started doing Live Streams here on Most Amazing Top 10 - theyve been really fun and
were going doing a lot more of them soon.
Sometimes though, live streams go horribly wrong - if the camera is always on, youre
bound to capture something bad eventually, sometimes infront of many viewers.
These stories are creepy, shocking and sometimes tragic - I hope youre prepared - my name is
Danny Burke, this is the Top 10 Scary Live Stream Stories.
Starting off at number 10 we have Torture.
This is the shocking story from January 2017 when 4 people were arrested after video was
live streamed of them torturing a duct taped victim.
It took place in Chicago where Police said the 18 year old victim with special needs
had been reported missing beforehand.
The video shows the victims clothes being cut, he gets covered in cigarette ashe and
then they cut his hair with a knife until his scalp bled.
The perpetrators can be heard laughing while making racially charged comments and references
to then President Elect Donald Trump.
Chicago Police Superintendent was quoted as saying -Its sickening.
It makes you wonder what would make individuals treat somebody like that.
Ive been a cop for 28 years, and Ive seen things that you shouldnt see in a lifetime,
but it still amazes me how you still see things that you just shouldnt- … when Police intervened,
they say they the victim was treated for his injuries and returned to his parents.
Next up at number 9 we have Marina Joyce.
Theres a name Im sure a few of you may have forgotten.
In 2016, a small YouTuber called Marina Joyce started acting strange in some of her videos.
Where she used to be upbeat and quirky, she now seemed quiet - her eyes shifting off camera.
Her fans began worrying that she had actually been kidnapped and was now being forced to
make videos for money.
The story went viral with the hashtag Save Marina Joyce trending on Twitter.
Eventually, Marina did a live stream to try and quel the concerns of her followers.
They asked her why she had bruises all over her body - Marina simply told them she was
fine.
CLIP.
Then, later on in the livestream, someone posted a comment saying -If you are NOT OK,
say hi to everyone who is joining- … this is what happened.
CLIP.
Did she not understand?
Is that the simple explanation?
I know some people out there are still convinced that Marina was and perhaps still is in danger
…
Moving on to number 8 now we have The Fire.
This one comes from 2015 where a Japanese live streamer accidentally burned his house
down while live streaming.
His name was Daasuke and he was live streaming Minecraft.
At some point during the stream, he decided to show off his new oil match lighter.
The lighter flares up a bit more than expected and while Daasuke is dealing with that, he
places the lit match behind him - onto a bag of tissues.
I think you guys can see where this is going.
The tissues are engulfed in flames.
He takes them over to the corner and then tries to put out the fire using pieces of
cardboard - Im not making this up.
Daasuke leaves the room and by the time he returns, the whole corner of the room is ablaze.
To the horror of his viewers, he did nothing more to combat the fire other than throw a
few small bowls of water over it.
Amazingly, he made it out alive and firefighters were able to contain the fire - but it could
have ended in absolute disaster.
Next up at number 7 we have The Heart Problem.
This is a tragic story from 2013 when a mother of two died from heart fromblems on Facebook
Live as her friends and family watched.
Keiana Herndon, aged 26, was holding her 1 year old son Rylee while she streamed on Facebook
from her friends house in Arkansas.
She was telling her viewers about her plans to go back to school when witnesses say she
suddenly began wiping her face and shaking her head.
Her aunt was one of the first to notice her acting strangely.
She watched her fall back as the phone to the floor.
1 year old Rylee then picked up the phone and started talking and playing with it.
She then heard a gasping noise, followed by another, and then nothing.
The stream ended with Keianas friend running into the room and calling 911.
She was rushed to the hospital but it was too late.
Keiana had over 3,400 friends on Facebook but its unclear how many of them were watching.
Her family said she had thyroid problems which triggered her heart.
A Gofundme was set up to help her two young boys.
Next up at number 6 we have The Stalker.
In 2017, popular streamer Reckful captured himself being stalked while streaming on the
street at night.
At first, its his viewers who point out there is a suspicious man in a mask following him.
Reckful doesnt fully buy it at first, he thinks that maybe the guy is just walking the same
way as him.
Perhaps its nothing.
Perhaps its totally innocent.
He keeps walking and decided to flip the camera so that both he and his viewers can take a
look at the guy.
After a short distance, Reckful decides that the best way to test if he really is being
followed, is to turn 180 degrees and walk back in the direction he came from.
As he does that, he jokes that he would have been very freaked out if that guy turned around
to - and thats exactly what happens.
Reckful looks scared by this point, as he rounds the corner he begins to run.
In the end though, its revealed that the stalker was actually just a fan of Reckful who was
messing with him.
Luckily Reckful recognises him and finally calms down after having the scare of his life
...
Moving on to number 5 we have Attempted Suicide.
This is a disturbing story from 2013 when a 20 year old Canadian man studying at the
University of Guelph tried to kill himself under the viewership of 4chan members.
He posted to the anonymous image board identifying himself as Stephen.
He said -Tonight I will be ending my own life.
Ive been spending the last hour making the preparations and Im ready to go through with
it- … 200 viewers joined his live stream, the maximum allowed on the streaming site
Chateen.
Many more were trying to get in and watch what went down.
Stephen downed alcohol and pills before setting his room on fire.
He then crawled under his bead where he typed into the chat -hash tag im dead and hash tag
omg im on fire- … some of the viewers actually encouraged the suicide attempt.
Someone called to report the fire - whether it was a person in the building or an online
viewer, nobody knows.
The stream then showed firefighters pulling Stephen out of his smokey room - at the time,
nobody knew if he was alive.
Authorities announced that he did survive and was at the hospital with his mother.
Next up at number 4 we have The Seizure.
This is a very disturbing clip from January 2018.
During a Virtual Realty stream, a streamer noticed that somone in the game was behaving
very strangely, they were lying on the floor and writhing around in silence.
When the streamer got closer though, they could hear something much more disturbing.
CLIP.
It turns out the guy was actually having a seizure.
The other players were shocked and felt powerless.
Nobody knew the guy in real life and there wasnt enough time for the game makers to track
his IP Address and sent help - all they could do was watch, hope, and try to offer some
supportive words.
It seems the man recovered from his seizure during the stream, at least temporarily.
The other players wished him the best and the man logged out, leaving them all shaken
up and wondering what just happened ...
Moving on to number 3 now we have Antonio Perkins.
This man from Chicago was fatally shot in 2016 while streaming on Facebook Live.
The 28 year old was shout on South Drake Street in the citys Lawndale neighborhood.
The streamed showed Perkins filming himself with his phone.
He talked to the camera and other passers by in the area.
After a while, as Perkins stared into the camera, shots ring out.
Roughly 12 shots can be heard as Perkins falls to the ground, taking the camera down with
him.
Witnesses in the area could be heard screaming.
In the confusion, nobody realised Perkins was live streaming and the stream continued
for 30 more minutes.
In just a few days, the video was viewed nearly 350,000 thousand times.
Perkins was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.
He was a father of 3 young children.
A police investigation reported that he had gang ties but his family told the media he
was no longer involved in gang activity.
Next up ant number 2 we have The Robbery.
In 2014, a Dota2 streamer called Sajedene got the fright of her life when she was robbed
at gunpoint in the middle of her stream.
Real name Nikki Elise, Sajadene can be seen looking terrified as she hears some commotion
outside of her room.
As she runs out of the room, shouting can be heard before a man brandishing a gun comes
into frame.
He roots through her stuff before appearing to grab something.
The stream continues as the robbers search for valuables.
A friend of the victims called the police.
When they arrived, they captured one robber after a short foot chase but the other got
away.
A friend tweeted out that both Sajadene and her housemate were shaked up by the incident,
but otherwise OK.
She later made a video giving her account of what happened, including everything that
occured away from the eyes of the worried viewers watching her stream …
And finally at number 1 we have SangeTV.
Thats the name of this streamer from Russia who got swatted during a live stream.
For those of you that don't know, swatting is when a viewer calls the police anonymously
to tell them there is a violent attack about to happen at the address of the live streamer.
The police always take these kind of calls seriously and sometimes sent actual SWAT teams
to investigate.
Thats what happened the SangeTV - he was playing some CS:GO for his viewers when all of a sudden,
this happened.
CLIP.
Ive seen quite a few Swatting videos in my time but this has to be one of the most terrifying.
Can you imagine it happening to you?
One minute youre relaxing, playing a video game, the next moment armed men with guns
have you pinned and handcuffed on the floor screaming at you to stay down or theyll shoot.
To be honest, I don't actually know what the SWAT team said as I don't speak Russian, but
I think we can all imagine what it is - and it isnt very nice.
Well I hope all of that hasnt put you guys off from watching our live streams which well
be doing in the near future.
I promise they wont be scary, OK I cant promise that after giving you guys this video, but
keep an eye out - thanks for watching as always guys, my name is Danny Burke and Ill see you
all in the next video.
