- Today we're gonna find out what's on
that old VHS tape we found in the safe,
but first, here's recap to catch you guys up.
(suspenseful music)
There is a secrete, hidden floor safe in
our house that we don't have the code to.
Are there any codes in here you guys see?
There might be some numbers or something.
If I can't crack the code today, then I get to
break out the power tools and just dig it out of the floor.
(explosion)
- [Kristen] What?
- We got it!
(exciting music)
And there's stuff in side! - Gosh!
- That's awesome!
Oh my gosh.
I'm so excited right now.
Okay, so now that you guys are
caught up, I just wanna say this.
If there's anything inappropriate on
this tape, I'm not gonna show it.
I'll talk about it, I'll kind of tell you guys
what it is, depending on what it is.
But I'm gonna be very careful about what we show.
Also, I don't even know if this VCR works.
Hi Chell!
(laughing)
- So I've been thinking about this tape that
Cory found and honestly I don't know if I want to watch it.
Because we have no idea what's on it.
I'm hoping we see some really cute kids,
playing and opening Christmas presents,
and having birthdays, and not something weird.
Maybe we'll see a video of what this
house looked like before we lived here.
We'll see how they decorated. (baby burping)
Sorry guys.
(baby grunting)
Are you doing that?
That's why you haven't been napping.
Well, just gonna keep this going for a little while.
You are your father's son.
That's all I'm gonna say about that.
Why do you always do this?
- [Cory] Okay, so here is the VHS tape,
and I forgot about the floppy drive.
It looks like it says, 'sands' or 'were' or someth--
I don't know what that says right there, sands.
And then on the VHS tape, nothing.
It looks like it might be a brand new tape,
but nobody would actually put a brand new tape
in a sleeve and put it in a safe like this,
so I'm sure there's something on it.
So now we just need to get everything
together, so we can watch it.
Alright, what cables are we gonna need?
We're gonna need either yellow or the coax cable.
And we also need to find a power cable for this.
There's a power cable, and this one's got the TV stuff.
Which I don't have a whole lot of TV stuff.
Our modem has a coax cable, right there.
So maybe I could just borrow that for a little bit.
Plug that into that, into that, then we should be good.
So everything is hooked up now.
I got the VCR running to the TV, TV's got power.
I used the coax cable from the
modem to connect the two, so we should be good.
(sleeve unsheathing)
In it goes!
(clunking sound)
It's like, "Nope, nope, nope."
Maybe just--
(loud clunking sound)
I don't wanna get my hand cut-- oh!
I got it.
(upbeat music)
It's super dark.
Okay so, it's ...
(Kristen giggles)
- [Kristen] I was really hoping for like,
family movies and cute stuff.
- I'ma pull a chair.
Ah yes, good quality entertainment.
This is fantastic.
I could just sit here and watch this all day.
What would you name, what's the name of this movie
we're watching right now. - There's no name, because
this movie never made it to have a name.
We don't even know where this is.
(Cory laughing)
- [Cory] It's a masterpiece. Maybe it's an art piece.
- No, this is ridiculous.
This is, this is ridiculous.
- [Cory] It's still going, oh my god.
Like, really? Do we just sit here and watch this?
- I say we fast forward it.
- Okay. - 'Cause how long is this?
Like they put movies on VHS tapes,
this could be hours of nothing.
You know, I don't know, there's like
something over here, but I don't know what that is.
- [Cory] I think you're trippin'.
I don't see anything! - I'm not, like no joke, every
once in a while I look at it like, did it move?!
But I think it's just because we've been
looking at it for so long.
- [Cory] It's like an epic nothing.
Watch what happens, you ready?
Nothing! More nothing!
Alright, what do you see?
Oh, you're right there's-- - [Kristen] See?
- [Cory] There's like a line thing.
- [Kristen] Yeah! - [Cory] Or something.
- [Kristen] What is it?
- [Cory] Well, I think that's a scratch on
the TV from the time I stole it.
Yeah, it's true story.
You know, you're right though, there is
like something dark here. - [Kristen] Yeah right here.
- [Cory] It's like a, I don't know what that is.
I wish I could digitally enhance,
but I can't because it's a VHS.
How's your day today?
How you guys doin'?
I just spent my whole day looking for cables to watch this.
This is what I'm doin' right now.
It looks like security footage.
- It is! On the most boring night ever.
- It's about as entertaining as it
gets right now, stretchin'.
Some day something will happen, I think
if you stare at it really close.
- I don't think so, I really wanted to
see little kids opening presents.
- [Cory] I know. I wanted to see this house.
- Yeah! - [Cory] I wanted to see
like all the stuff around here.
I wanted to see just like another family story.
- Like how they decorated and everything.
Yeah, it'd be cool, but no.
- I think it's safe to say I can upload this, so yep, this
is where I made the decision where you guys can watch this.
'Cause, I don't think anybody's gonna want this.
- No! What would you show? It's a whatever!
- [Cory] Wait'll you guys see this!
- Why am I still here?!
Why am I still watching this?
- [Cory] Light just turned on ...
And there's the ball.
(footsteps from TV)
(scraping sound)
- [Cory] There's still something happening.
(VCR whirring)
(banging sound)
- [Cory] Holy crap.
(banging sound)
(footsteps from TV)
(scraping)
(ominous sound)
- [Cory] I'm just hoping this is a hokes,
like this is some sort of weird scare tape.
Maybe right now, that's what we should say.
It's a scare tape, it's something just to freak us out.
Something that somebody left to just mess with our heads.
And it's working! Bravo!
- [Cory] How ya doin'?
- Okay. - [Cory] Good.
(heavy sigh)
- Well, the good news about our floppy drive,
I did manage to find it, the only problem with
our floppy drive, is that it doesn't fit,
and that's because it's not a floppy drive,
it's a CD drive.
For some reason I thought this was a floppy drive.
I haven't seen it in a while and it was
packed away in the closet, which means
we don't have any way to actually get
into this, to see what is on it.
So, I think maybe later today or tomorrow, we're gonna go
out and try to see if we can find something to read this.
But yeah, that's unfortunate.
So now we're calling a few different places
to see if any of them can actually
help us with this floppy disk.
- [Woman On Phone] Tulsa Library, this
is Bobbie, how can I help you?
- Hi, do you have any computers that can read floppy disks?
- [Woman On Phone] No we do not.
- Oh, okay. Thank you so much.
Appreciate it.
And I found a winner, so I'm gonna go to this store
and see if they can read this floppy disk for me.
(car rumbling)
- [Cory] Rough roads!
(bell dinging)
- Yup, this is the right place.
Look at all those floppy drives up there.
And this man's got it, $9.99. Awesome!
[Computer Guy] Green light's on, good-to-go.
- [Cory] Oh yeah, that way.
Looks like it goes the other way, 'cause the metal part.
Sweet. - [Computer Guy] Does in fact
work, so we're all good-to-go there.
It is in fact Windows, and it is a really early
version of Windows, it's fat12 ms dos.
- [Cory] I don't even know what
that means, but I'll believe ya'.
- [Computer Guy] Like Windows 98 and 95 type stuff.
- [Cory] Oh! - [Computer Guy] So--
- [Cory] It's old.
- [Computer Guy] Yeah, so you're gonna have to
get some kind of Windows laptop and see what's on there.
- [Cory] Oh jeez.
Okay, so, I do have a PC.
It's actually my gaming PC that I use for my VR stuff.
So I'm gonna plug this into my
PC and hopefully that reads it.
This is still plugged in to all the VR stuff.
You know what, I'm gonna wait 'til tonight.
(little girl yelling)
- [Cory] Where ya goin'? Where ya goin'?
(little girl laughing)
- Where are your pants?
I just can't get myself out of it.
I keep thinking about it.
It's like I have these moments of like,
whoa, and then like, whoa, and
then like whoa and then like whoa.
Do you feel that too, like really you know?
It's like this up and down, like it's exciting,
but also it's really creepy, because like I don't know.
- It's very accurate.
- [Cory] It's very accurate.
All right, laptop is on, now we're
just running a couple updates and once
this is done we're gonna plug this thing in.
There we go!
(whirring sound)
It's so loud.
Okay, forgive me, I'm not exactly a PC person.
I only use PCs for gaming, and still not very often.
Okay, here we go, this is the floppy drive here.
It says floppy disk drive 'A'.
Which I would believe is that.
Maybe double click.
Okay, so it looks like it's got two files, old files.
It's got an 'ALARM' file and then '--x'.
This is actually on the front of the disk.
So whatever this disk is, it's this.
And then this file, I think is probably
just from they accessed it earlier.
Okay, so let's try this one first, the 'ALARM'.
It's a WAV file which means it's just sound
Uh, what? Oh!
It's this thing, ope.
Yeah I think it just says no music found.
All right, let's try the other one.
What is '--x?'
And will it even open?
Okay, it's Word, it's a rich text format.
Ope, there was something!
What is this?
I don't even know what this is.
There we go.
All right, so there's a lot written here,
and it looks like it's maybe
some sort of journal or something.
Uh, "March 21st 1999:"
So now we know how old this disk is.
"There's been a supernatural
disturbance in and around our home.
Lights have been turning on and off.
I'm almost certain that this ball is
the cause of our paranormal activity.
The ball is well used with the markings '--x'"
Okay so '--x' is whatever this ball is, and
then we saw that in the video, so this
is definitely linked and that's why it was ... okay.
"March 30th: I placed the ball in the rafter
of the shed, if anything is going to happen,
then at least it's up there and away from us.
I'm less worried about whoever this is now
because they seem somewhat harmless for the time being.
After a bit of research and talking with
paranormal specialists, we believe his
spirit and this ball were tethered.
Hopefully he'll find rest.
Do not remove this tape from the safe.
Arthur in this tape."
That is officially the creepiest thing
I have ever read, okay so.
We need to put the tape back.
(clanking sound)
(spooky guitar riff)
