Plus comment down below with what the scariest video game experience youve ever had was.
Now lets get into todays list of the Top 10 Scary Cursed Video Game Urban Legends
#10 Minecraft The creators of Minecraft deny that this even
exists, but for some, the experience was all too real.
In a game that features skeletons and even the threat of Slender Man, many are more terrified
about the urban legend of Herobrine.
Its believed that a ghost by the name of Herobrine lurks in the distance while gamers are playing
Minecraft.
He wields a pickaxe and when approached by a player will stare blankly with glowing white
eyes until vanishing without a trace.
#9 The Madden Curse In the world of sports there have always been
superstitions, urban legends and even curses against certain teams.
Gamers and football fans started to notice a terrifying trend amongst the NFL stars who
would don the cover each year for the Madden video game.
Many who appeared on the cover would often suffer from an injury, easy mistakes or just
poor performance on the field in general.
The first case of this happening was Garrison Hearst who starred on the cover of Madden
NFL 99.
However, before the release of the game, Hearst broke his ankle in 1998.
Does that one sound like just a mere coincidence?
Well then let me hit you with this.
Out of the 22 players who have been on the cover of the game, 16 have had injuries that
have shortened their season following the Madden release.
Tha'ts far too many to just be a coincidence.
#8 Pokemon Snap Hunting Like the way most creepypastas go they involve
an old dusty copy of a classic game that turns out to be a living nightmare.
When a young boy digs up the light-hearted Pokemon Snap for N64 hes delighted.
That is until the game starts playing some very disturbing images.
For starters there was this strange purple streak running down the screen.
Professor Oak looked horrific, he had these dark soulless eyes and anytime a Pokemon would
pop out for you to snap, it always looked just a little too creepy for things to be
normal.
Soon the player was persuaded by the cursed game to enter the volcano stage.
When he enters he can hear the screams of Pokemon in agony coming from every angle.
Following that the young boy is tormented by an Electrode that ends up showing the gamer
some very disturbing photos of the player himself dying in lava.
#7 Polybius Creepypasta stories are nervewracking all
on their own, but combine that with a conspiracy theory about the government and you're all
set to never sleep again.
The way this curse goes is that the government used the power of hypnotic visuals to convey
subliminal messaging through a puzzle-shooter game for kids.
The kids would be locked into the visual control trance so that the government could control
certain aspects of their minds.
There is limited evidence to support that the game Polybius even existed.
However, there still have been cases reported that teens who've played the game almost immediately
had a seizure or intense migraine.
#6 Text to Trouble This urban legend does not need to depend
on dusty cursed game copies, superstitions or curses to be scary.
Its a simple text-based adventure game that has you moving your player throughout a forest
using commands to hold a shovel as well as a rope.
As you travel you're followed by this ominous force called the Pale Luna.
Pale Luna will frequently smile wide right at you while completing actions in the game.
As the story goes when you reach the end of the game you will use your shovel to dig and
when that happens the game will flood the screen with a series of seemingly random numbers.
Although I suggest you avoid the same actions of one overly curious player who decided to
decipher these numbers.
The numbers give the player coordinates which lead you to the crime scene of a missing girl.
#5 The Morrowind Mod This urban legend is an interesting one due
to the fact that its actually a playable mod for Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind.
In the modded version of the game, the NPCs are mostly dead, lying motionless on the ground
with some still wandering about.
The few that are alive stare off with blank looks on their face as they warn you to watch
the sky.
Sounds too much like bird box for me to ever want to play this game.
As the urban legend goes, some players will begin to see this shadowy figure creeping
around in the shadows following them, yet remaining just barely out of sight.
Its believed that if players stay on the mod for too long, they'll start to see this creeper
in real life as well.
#4 Fallout 3 Of all the games to contain urban legends,
Fallout 3 makes the most sense with its eerie and desolate locations.
As the story goes if you put an end to radio DJ three dog you can faintly hear a voice
droning on a specific locations.
At first, it seems like nothing, but if you listen closely the voice is listing numbers
and even morse code.
Hardcore fans of the series decided to decode the messaging and discovered that it contained
specific dates and messages about the future.
The theoretical future events decoded link to the dates in the numbers that the voice
says and have included some very strange predictions.
One of which is a predicted Oscar win for Britney Spears in 2023, but the other turned
out to much more frightening.
Things such as the passing of Gary Coleman and the BP oil spill were all predicted by
the game and all ended up coming true.
Better start prepping that Oscar speech Britney.
#3 Majora’s Mask The game Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask is already
a scary game to begin with, but the creepypasta story of a cursed version of the game is especially
frightening.
I'm sure many of you know of the story Ben Drowned, the child that perished in a lake
and continues to haunt it.
Things get very strange for anyone playing this copy when they attempt to delete the
file, it always will show the ominous message of - you should have done that.- One person
in particular who played this cursed copy reported seeing eerie photos featuring dark
glitchy figures and environments.
The Ben save file has even shown the horrific images of Link randomly bursting into flames
and dying.
For all those who play Ben's save file, they feel as though they are slowly losing their
mind as the ghost of Ben stalks them in the game and in their life.
#2 Berserk Video games and their impact on causing the
corruption of youth leading to an increase in violence has been a long time discussion.
However, you rarely hear of a game that directly caused an unfortunate accident.
The old-school Atari shooter game Berserk though led to three notably morbid and violent
events involving players of the game.
Its difficult to verify these urban legends, but in one case, in particular, a player actually
had a heart attack from playing the game for too long.
Its believed he may have had a preexisting heart condition or took too much caffeine,
but I'm still on the idea that it was the cursed game itself that caused this incident.
#1 World of Warcraft This final urban legend is sinister beyond
belief.
Players of the hit game World of Warcraft have screencapped and reported several times
that a group of 6 NPC kids referred to as the creepy children will show up randomly
throughout the game.
Specifically, they appear in the town of Goldshire and Elwynn and always are in the formation
of a pentagram.
Some brave players have attempted to stand in the middle of the creepy children only
to be met with ominous sounds of screams, growls, and crying.
And that has been the Top 10 Scary Cursed Video Game Urban Legends.
