Hello Internet - and welcome back to the scariest channel on YouTube.
If you don’t know the drill by now - then you’re about to become duly informed, because
here - we harness the most horrific, haunting content from all across the internet - and
present it to you in one horrifying package.
Welcome to Top 5 Scary Videos - as always, I’ll be your host Jack Finch - as today,
we take a look at 10 Scary Found Footage, that Should Never Have Been Shared.
Hit it up.
Before we begin - if you could be so kind as to hit that subscribe button, as well as
giving a big thumbs up if you enjoy this video.
Without further delay, let’s get started shall we?
Jumping in at Number 10 - we have The Croatian Tape.
Found in Croatia on the 4th of October 2005, the contents of this footage is pretty disturbing.
The video details two Croatian teenagers, who - after buying a new camera - take to
their local area to test it out and film a few random things.
As the video plays out - things start to get a little bit creepy, and as the teenagers
are travelling down a road - they spy the shadowy figure of a man.
The man - is wearing a dark hood or bag over his head.
So far so weird - but then things get much worse,
Well - check it out for yourself.
Eventually - the footage concludes with the mysterious man violently attacking the pair
of teenagers, and the video claims that Croatian police originally released the footage in
an attempt to look for leads.
Real or not - the Croatian Tape is pretty messed up.
Next up at Number 9 - we have Broomhall Farm.
Otherwise known as No Through Road, this piece of footage supposedly relates to a group of
boys that went went missing in England - in the December of 2008.
As the report goes, the boys, from Stevenage in Hertfordshire, were eventually found dead
in their car, which had been parked nearby an abandoned rural area called Broomhall Farm.
When police found the bodies, they also found a camera in the car - which, as it turned
out, had some pretty bizarre footage on.
The 9 minute video details the boys as they joyride around some English country lanes
late at night - which is harmless enough - until they get to a dark tunnel, which is clearly
marked as having no through road.
They then become hopelessly lost, and seem to drive around for hours - lost in the eerie
darkness of the English countryside.
Eventually - they return back to that very same entrance.
And - well, why don’t you watch the video yourself and find out?
And coming up at Number 8 - the Paris Catacombs.
One incredibly strange video began making the rounds as early as the 1990s - which claimed
that a camcorder was found in the deep darkness of the Paris Catacombs by an intrepid explorer.
If you didn’t know - the Parisian Catacombs are a creepy, underground mausoleum that spans
some 200 subterranean miles of strange burial rooms and dimly lit tunnels, that snakes its
way underneath the busy streets of Paris, France.
The whole network contains a mind-boggling 6 million corpses, give or take, which was
built as the result of overcrowded cemeteries in the 18th century.
Most of the catacombs are closed off to the public - but it has become a magnet for daring
urban explorers.
No one seems to know exactly what happened to the person who took this footage, and it
is unclear just exactly what caused them to drop the camera - turn tail, and run.
The camera continues filming until the battery goes dead - and the explorer was never found
- despite rescue attempts.
And next up at Number 7 - we have Pennhurst Asylum.
Another found footage that alludes to the paranormal - Pennhurst Asylum, in Pennsylvania,
was opened in 1908 as a place to lock up people who were deemed unfit to function in society.
Since then, the site has become a hotspot for paranormal and occult activity, and has
a violent history harboured deep beneath its walls.
After its closure in 1987, Pennhurst Asylum became synonymous with ghost hunters and paranormal
investigations - and in 2008, two college students took up the very same mantle.
However, they got a little bit more than they bargained for.
The beginning of the video seems to be harmless enough - detailing the two students wandering
around the rooms of the asylum and goofing around.
Things start to get weird though, after the pair make their way up a strange staircase
- and then cut to an eerily angled shot outside of the asylum before going permanently going
dark.
Allegedly, the camera was found inside the abandoned asylum - and the pair of students
were never seen again.
Coming in at Number 6 - we have the Highway of Tears.
In British Columbia, Canada, there is a 450 mile stretch of highway where 40 or more women
have gone missing over the span of 50 years.
Most of these women were of the First Nations, and were likely hitchhiking their way across
the country.
The police suspect that this is the work of one - or a group - or serial killers, who
operate along this highway because of how vast and unoccupied it is.
Well, one of the missing women - Amber Tuccaro, was actually on the phone with her brother
when she was picked up by the last man to see her alive.
Police used this footage in the vain hope that someone would recognise the man’s voice,
but sadly - no further evidence has been found.
It’s incredibly sad to hear such distressing footage, and I sincerely hope that the Highway
of Tears mystery is solved.
Next up at Number 5 - Murder at Sea.
Now - this video is the definition of horrific.
This video is incredibly difficult to find, and is so unsettling to watch, that we’re
going to leave its footage out.
Somewhere in the Indian Ocean, roughly around 2012, video footage emerged of four men frantically
trying to stay afloat on a piece of wreckage - raising their hands in the air in defeat.
Next - the crackling of gunfire, and the men are mercilessly mowed down, as a pool of red
spreads throughout the surrounding water.
Crew members of the offending vessel can be heard cheering, even taking selfies in the
10 minute long clip.
Tragically, no one knows who the dead men were - and their bodies have never been recovered.
It was stranger still, then, when the cell phone footage only came to light after being
found by a student, left abandoned in a taxi cab in Fiji.
The crime has never been acknowledged by the authorities - and remains unsolved to this
day.
Swinging in at Number 4 - the Jonestown Massacre Tapes
On November 18th, 1978 - nearly one thousand people of the religious cult known as the
People’s Temple, most of whom were American, died in a twisted and bizarre ritual that
took place in the remote jungle compound of Jonestown.
914 people died - most of them by cyanide poisoning, although some were shot - either
by themselves of others.
Jim Jones - the leader of the cult, shot himself.
What remained, was the infamous Jonestown Death Tape - a historical document like no
other.
During its 44 minutes and 30 seconds of pure horror - the slow massacre of 914 people is
documented.
It is known as the largest single-day loss of American life between World War 2 and the
9/11 Attacks.
It’s out there on the internet - but, if I was you - I’d leave it well alone.
Next at Number 3 - Grave Robbing for Morons.
Now - this is one of the most popular internet mysteries that has remained unsolved.
And it’s remained unsolved for pretty much two decades.
Filmed in the 1990s - the video began circulating the halcyon internet after it’s weird subject
matter creeped out its viewers.
The 26 minute long video, has a young narrator detailing how to rob graves without getting
caught - what bones are most valuable - and other grave robbing ‘tips’ - whatever
they may be.
Chillingly - he appears to hold an actual human skull that he’s stolen - with many
viewers stating that it’s just too legit to be a fake.
Whatever the answer, no one seems to know - because that’s the only glimpse we’ve
ever had into the grave robbers strange, twisted mind.
Now at Number 2 - The Video Diaries of Ricardo Lopez.
In the mid to late 90s, Ricardo Lopez - a would-be murderer from Uruguay, who later
lived in Florida - developed a deranged obsession with the popular Icelandic musician - Bjork.
As he became more and more obsessed with the singer, Ricardo descended into a twisted spiral
of madness - and would feverishly send fan letters and research every single detail of
her life.
Over the course of his obsession, Ricardo Lopez would document his descent into madness
over a compilation of video tapes.
Eventually - he would plan to kill the singer by sending a letter bomb, documented in his
video diary titled “Last Day” - where he goes on to shave his head, smother his
body with greasepaint - and then eventually take his own life with a .38 caliber pistol.
All of it was caught on camera - and the whole thing is a terrifying insight into the torture
that takes place in a severe case of mental illness.
And finally at Number 1 - the Elisa Lam Tape.
Now - I’m not going to lie guys, the main reason this tape is at our number one spot
is because - well, it even creeps me out.
Usually, I’m pretty steadfast in my resolve of the strange, the paranormal and the unexplained
- but the case of Elisa Lam just unsettles me in a way that most other things don’t.
On February 19, 2013 - maintenance workers at a Los Angeles hotel discovered the body
of Elisa Lam in a water tower atop the building.
She’d been missing for over a month - and her autopsy revealed no evidence of physical
trauma, and her manner of death was ruled as accidental.
But - contrary to that, as the footage shows - Elisa is in dire distress, and is appearing
continuously hiding in the hotel’s elevator - as well as shouting at someone - or something,
further down the hall.
I don’t know guys - you check it out, and let me know what you think in the comment

Unfortunately, that’s all we’ve got time for today.

dearest - and give it a great big thumbs up.
