Over the years, stories of monsters, ghouls, hybrids and unexplainable creations have gone
viral across the internet. Most of these stories revolve around a mythical creature, demonic
or malevolent, who lurk in the shadows and attack at night. So today on Top 5 Scary Videos,
I’m going to be counting down our list of the Top 5 Scariest Monsters On The Internet.
Before we begin though, be sure to stick around until the end of the video where I’ll be
responding to some of your comments, and with that, let’s jump in.
5 The Rake The Rake is a creature believed to be a humanoid
in appearance, with several references in folklore and horrific urban legends, originally
appearing on the internet on Creepypasta. It is said that The Rake attacks humans due
to unknown reasons and often causes its victims great psychological trauma. The first account
of the Rake’s existence was a mariner’s log written in 1691, identifying The Rake
by name. The next account, written in the 1800s, described The Rake as having hollow
black eyes and being terrifying in nature. In 1964, a suicide note was written in which
the author claimed to have committed suicide due to repeated encounters with The Rake and
the fear that the creature will torment him horribly. Currently, the most complete tale
of the Rake was written in 2006. The story begins with a woman waking her husband up
early in the morning. As she sits up to go to the restroom, she sees what seems to be
a naked, pale man at the foot of the bed. Then, in fast motion, the Rake scurried to
the husband’s side of the bed and stared at him for a moment before running into the
children’s room. It feld, covered in blood as the wife states, when the couple approached
the room, leaving the mangled body of their daughter, whose last words were “He is the
Rake.” Very creepy indeed.
4 The Goatman The Goatman is a humanoid cryptid most commonly
associated with Louisiana, Maryland, and Texas. It is often described as a seven foot tall
hybrid creature; part man and part goat. Some claim it is a relative of the New Orleans
evil chupacabra-like cryptid the Grunch. The urban legend of them often tell of it killing
young couples in parked cars or scouring neighbourhoods killing family pets. Throughout history, there
have also been tales of them breaking into people’s homes and assaulting its victims.
Now, some say he was a man who kept goats and went mad after teeenagers killed his flock,
driven to seek revenge against any young adults. However, the most titillating version traces
the origin of Goatman to the Beltsville Agricultural Research Centre, a sprawling USDA facility
anchored by a big brick building appointed with white columns. In this version, a mad
scientist is conducting experiments on a goat when something goes horribly wrong, turning
him into a half-man half-goat beast that is, naturally, hungry for blood. Now, The Goatman
has many variations on the internet, with the most popular being the Pope Lick Monster.
This is a legendary part-man, part-goat, and part-sheep creature reported to live beneath
a Norfolk Southern Railroad trestle over Floyds Fork Creek, in the Fisherville area of Louisville,
Kentucky. It is said to have powerful, fur-covered goat legs, an alabaster-skinned face with
an aquiline nose and wide set eyes. Short- sharp horns that protrude from the forehead,
nestled in long greasy hair that matches the colour of the fur on the legs.
3 Jeff the Killer Also known as Jeffrey Woods, but more commonly
known as Jeff the Killer, this is the titular protagonist of the creepypasta story of the
same name by the brother of GameFuelTV, who loses his sanity and begins murdering to satisfy
his homicidal urges. Now, the story of Jeff goes like this: Jeff started out as a normal
suburban teenager, living with his mother, father, and brother. At some point in his
life when he reached the age of around 13, he and his family moved into a new neighborhood
after his father got a promotion. Jeff and his brother were happy, however, not long
after settling into the new area, Jeff obtained an odd feeling in his mind. Then one day,
while waiting for the school bus with his brother, three kids approach them and mug
them at knife point, taking their wallets in the process. Jeff very quickly got the
feeling in his head again and attacked the kids, incapacitating all three of them. To
jump ahead in the story, which is incredibly long as you would expect, another fight occurs,
leaving Jeff burned before he falls down the stairs of his house and passes out as the
flames engulfs him. However, he survives, with his facing being completely deformed.
It is not long after that he goes on a serial killing rampage, killing those who refuse
to sleep at night. If you haven’t checked out his entire origin story, I suggest you
do right after this video. Now, Jeff has extremely pale skin and burnt off eyelids, giving him
an even more ghostly appearance. Later on in time, he got his most distinctive trait,
the smile that he had carved in his own face. His clothing normally consists of a pair of
black skinny jeans with a white hooded sweatshirt, sometimes stained with fresh and old blood
from his victims.
2 The Smiling Man Now this terrifying story comes to use form
the creepypasta wiki page of The Smiling Man, now, it’s a long one so bare with me. I
quote: “About 5 years ago I lived downtown in a major city in the US. I’ve always been
a night person, so I would often find myself bored after my roommate, who was decidedly
not a night person, went to sleep. To pass the time, I used to go for long walks and
spend time thinking. I spent four years like that, walking alone at night, and never once
had a reason to feel afraid.I always used to joke with my roommate that even the drug
dealers in the city were polite. But all of that changed in just a few minutes of one
evening. It was a Wednesday, something between one and two in the morning, and I was walking
near a police patrolled park quite a ways from my apartment. The park, as it was most
nights, was completely empty. I turned down a short side-street in order to loop back
to my apartment when I first noticed him. At the far end of the street, on my side,
was the silhouette of a man, dancing. It was a strange dance, similar to a waltz, but he
finished each “box” with an off forward stride. I guess you could say he was dance-walking,
headed straight for me. Deciding he was probably drunk, I stepped as closed as I could to the
road to give him the majority of the sidewalk to pass me by. The closer he got, the more
I realized how gracefully he was moving. He was very tall and lanky, and wearing an old
suit.He danced closer still, until I could make out his face. His eyes were open wide
and wild, head tilted back slightly, looking off at the sky. His mouth was formed in a
painfully wide cartoon of a smile. Between the eyes and the smile, I decided to cross
the street. As I reached the other side, I glanced back...and then stopped dead in my
tracks. He had stopped dancing and was standing with one foot in the street.He was facing
me but still looking skyward, smile still wide on his lips.The street ahead of me was
completely empty. Still unnerved, I looked back to where he had been standing to find
him gone. He had crossed the street, and was now slightly crouched down. He started moving
towards me again. He took giant, exaggerated tip-toed steps, as if he were a cartoon character.
When I finally found my voice, I blurted out the first thing that came to mind. “Whaaat?”
After what felt like forever, he turned around and started dance-walking away. I watched
him go, until he was far enough away to be almost out of sight. And then I realized something,
he wasn’t moving away anymore, nor was he dancing. He was coming back my way, and this
time he was running. I ran too. I ran until I was off the side-road and back onto the
main street. Looking back, he was nowhere to be found.” Honestly, this story absolutely
terrifies me, even still. There is also an incredibly creepy short-film out there on
YouTube about The Smiling Man that I highly suggest you check out.
1 Siren Head To quote the original caption of Siren Head:
“She was on vacation with her husband and they were scoping out graveyards on the way,
as you do, when she saw it. Rising out of the old cemetery, big as an old macabre telephone
pole. Was this some kind of bizarre art piece the authorities hadn’t gotten wise to yet?
Even as she stepped out of the car, the megaphones on its head screeched to life. “NINE. EIGHTEEN.
ONE. CHILD. SEVENTEEN. REMOVE. VILE.” A buzzing, doubled voice screamed random words
at her. At this point, it jerked into motion, striding down the hill towards her.” Yikes,
if that doesn’t send chills down your spines I don’t know what will. Absolutely terrifying.
Now, according to its fandom page, Siren Head is a hostile cryptid and urban legend created
by Trevor Henderson. He is described as a tall mysterious humanoid creature known for
his odd appearance and the various sounds that echo out of his head. Now, as you would
expect, this monster's head is a pair of sirens with mouths that he uses to kill any victim
that is unfortunate to come across him. True to his name, Siren Head’s speakers can play
various types of loud noises, typically air raid sirens, garbled music, conversations,
or emergency broadcasts. Now, the first sighting of this monster reportedly occurred in 1966,
when a family on vacation in the Arizona Desert captured an image of Siren Head near two telephone
poles. About 30 years later on July 16, 1995, Chad and his friends were hiking in the woods
of Tanyard Creek, where they found Siren Head to be lurking. According to Chad, his friends
got snatched by something gigantic striding through the trees, which mimicked their voices.
Chad was found alive with a few injuries, while all of his friends were gone, either
taken or killed by the Siren Head. As of right now, there have been about nine reports of
Siren Head that have been noted by the victims of this monster.
