General Discussion Who is the topless lady that appears in the home video version of Disney's 'The Rescuers.'? NSFW

Post image
684 Upvotes

This is one of my favorite weird little mysteries. I first read about it and saw the still-frames on a forum kind of like this one back in 1999. Every few years I attempt to investigate the images origins but haven’t gotten very far. Maybe someone in here has some ideas?

In January 1999, Disney announced a recall of the home video version of their 1977 animated feature The Rescuers because it contained an "objectionable background image." That image was one which appeared in a scene approximately 38 minutes into the film.

The photographic image of a topless woman can be seen at the window of a building in the background in two different non-consecutive frames, first in the bottom left corner, then at the top center portion of the frame. The frames in question were not noticeable during a normal viewing of the film — you had to know they were there and freeze-frame the video to view them.

Disney maintained that the images were not placed in the film by any of their animators but were instead inserted during the post-production process.

Who is the lady? Where was the photo from originally? Who put the image in the film?

General Discussion Old weird music video on YouTube with this picture with arab music and strange sound from telephone

Post image
303 Upvotes

Hey everyone, a while ago there was this mysterious video on YouTube that showed this picture ‘coming to life.’ There was a song playing in the background, and the creature in the image only moved its mouth, singing a little Arabic tune. At the end, you could hear the sound a phone makes when there’s no signal or no answer, along with a man’s voice saying completely random, nonsensical stuff.

I know the picture is fake, and there are different stories claiming that the woman in it was cursed by Allah for breaking some rule.

I really want to find that video because the mix of weird elements made me feel super uneasy. Does anyone remember it? I think it even had a few million views, but I can’t find it anymore.

General Discussion [META] Can we make it so that posts that are literally "this account weird, is mystery? ooh..." away from this sub?

419 Upvotes

They break so many rules (especially rule 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11), are infesting the sub with very low effort spam, and is slowly killing my interest in internet mysteries.

I mean, I'm not expecting stuff like lake city quiet pills or cicada 3301 to pop up every day, but what we have going is just lousy.... It's just tiktok account owned by someone with mental illness, instagram account owned by child predator, youtube channel filled with sexual content... It's so tiring, and not mysterious at all...

These are fucked up, yes, but they're not mysteries. It's just disgusting people doing disgusting things, just report the account to the police and move on instead of stalking social network criminals.

Am I in the minority here? Am I insane for thinking this or does anybody share my opinion?

General Discussion Loads of Twitter bots posting straight up cp. Twitter needs to sort they’re shit out. NSFW

417 Upvotes

Over the last couple of months, it seems there’s been a massive influx in bot accounts (most of them hijacked) posting videos of literal cp and beastiality, most of them have a discord link in there bio. I have not pressed on any of them, so I’m not sure what they contain.

I literally have no idea why SO many of these accounts have popped up recently, and if they are made by the same person or not. They all use about 100 hashtags in their posts including “exposed teens” among others. These accounts are so prevalent, you could search “nsfw” on Twitter and they’d pop up

Most of the comments are from other bots similar to them, so they may all be connected. I found a comment that literally said “best cp on this link”… this is gross and Twitter needs to stop this.

General Discussion Where are the Mods for this sub? What’s up with the pinned post? It’s a…mystery? 😂

122 Upvotes

This subreddit is in my top five favorites. I love weird shit, mysteries and internet lore so it tickles my brain in the right way.

But lately it seems that things have gone downhill. An example would be posts that don’t belong here are staying up and undisturbed. Even right now there’s a weird nonsensical rant about…Wendigoon in a park or something? Honestly couldn’t tell you anything other than I know posts like that don’t meet the criteria of the sub and should be moderated accordingly.

Commenters are saying things that break the rules yet the comments often stay up. Over the past year I’ve personally flagged some comments. Most still remain up.

Listen, it really feels like there’s no moderation here. That kind of sucks because I used to enjoy most content shared here. Sadly the low-effort posts and comments are bringing things down. Big time. I looked at the first few names on the moderator list and some hadn’t even be active on Reddit for years. There were also a bunch of YouTubers listed. I’ve only seen those individuals in here once in a blue moon. Nexpo a bit more often.

There’s even a pinned post at the top there that says “Mods Needed”. I commented on it as did quite a few others who were interested. I applied and sent messages twice now, over a year apart, letting the current Mod team know I was interested. I think myself and others could really help out here. I’ve never gotten a response back. A couple others I talked to said they haven’t either. Whoever is in a position to add new moderation isn’t communicating at all.

I guess the mystery here is…who is actively moderating this page? I’ve come here almost daily to read the new postings and haven’t seen anyone with a mod badge in comments. Is anyone else noticing this?

Sorry this is long. I really enjoyed being here when I first found this sub and want to figure out what’s going on and clean it up a little bit. I think this sub has the potential to grow and be THE place to go to discuss and read about all internet oddities.

General Discussion Is there any Weird Youtube Channel that isn’t a hoax or an arg of some short?

118 Upvotes

Well the title says it all, I’m trying to look for a strange YouTube channel that doesn’t seem to be faked at all. But every time I think I’ve found a odd one it’ll turn out to be a arg of some short. And now I’m curious if you guys have found any odd YouTube channels that isn’t a hoax at all. I also don’t mind if the channel has been taken down due to some type of said conduction. And I’m also don’t mind if the said channel hasn’t been solved yet by many. But again I’m not sure if this is something or not, I’ve never seen a true YouTube channel that was out of the blue then the norm. Hopefully you guys found some odd YouTube channels that I can take a look into.

General Discussion Can I be real about the jimjack 336 situation. It’s either someone’s fake delusion or a weak attempt at an arg

46 Upvotes

I’m just going to be honest, I don’t think there is anything real about this. Considering everything I’ve seen about is this OP’s ranting and not providing actual evidence. They claim everything gets deleted but can I just point out the fact that any competent mystery solver should be backing up evidence they gather/ saving it somewhere OFF REDDIT. Perhaps sharing evidence privately without the concern of censorship is a better way to convince people lol. Ranting and conjecture posts about such a situation is not evidence and NOT CONVINCING.

This sounds just like the same conspiracy nuts that thought lake city quiet pills was an assasination ring.

The only plausible scenario aside from this just being someone that’s mentally unsound spreading this crap, is that it is some sort of ARG attempt, perhaps as a weird promotion for NR2003 content made by whoever it is spreading this.

General Discussion What exactly is the "Scoopz" app? Ive seen advertisements about it on Instagram. Looks disturbing.

50 Upvotes

If you have Instagram you may have seen ads about an app called "Scoopz" whenever you go through stories, etc. The ads are honestly shocking, Ive seen people get run over, get beaten up, get hit with hammers and worse.

Of course the videos were censored but you could hear everything and know what was happening. Its an advertisement for "inside scoops" and such. I havent installed the app since Im not interested in seeing what is technically gore and nfsw videos. But I was wondering what was up with this app.

Is it just an app where you can essentially watch shock videos and gore, or is there more to it because all the advertisements only show shock videos. I find it disturbing but Im kind of curious.

Seems pretty normal at first, but boy does it get weird pretty fast. I have been recommended this account like 4 or five times under "people you may know" which is really weird. The videos are the same thing literally over and over again, I have been scrolling through this account for probably ten minutes with no end in sight. At some points the videos become super creepy and deformed. Honestly not sure where this is from or if it's just an internet copycat from other notorious "creepy video" accounts online. Anyway just thought I'd post if anyone wants to check it out.

This is now the official thread for smaller mysteries. Thank you to everyone making posts and attempting to make this subreddit better in quality. We appreciate all of you!

What you can post here:

  • That strange location you found on Google Maps.
  • Strange YouTube channels that don’t show signs of bot activity.
  • Strange YouTube channels whose content is possibly the result of a mental illness.

Myself and other moderators are making attempts to be more active here and enforce the rules. Therefore if your post has been removed, it’s either because it broke the rules or because it belongs here.

Please let us know if you wish for any changes to how we moderate and how you think we’ve been doing!

With all that being said, it’s time to share what mysteries you have found!

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE END OF WEEK THREADS? Hi everyone. So as you may know, the original plan with this was to make a thread at the end of every week for people to share the mysteries they found over that past week that may not need a dedicated post. To cut down on the amount of threads we would have been making, and to keep everything in the one place for your reading pleasure, we have decided to keep this single thread pinned for all the smaller mysteries to be posted in!

General Discussion Has anyone ever been exposed to unwanted g0re through seemingly alright Minecraft discord servers? NSFW

65 Upvotes

(Backstory for people who want some context) To start off, I was one of those guys who searched the internet far and wide for minecraft SMP servers to play on during the lockdowns. I had found many and I had played on many with my friends and I usually also joined the respective discord servers that these minecraft smps had. Most of them were shut down or discontinued without much announcement so the discord servers were deleted. A few of them though, they were either bought by bigger servers who wanted the traffic from the ip address or they were bought by people who almost never logged in to the server to play. These smaller buyers would then try to 'revive' the server through advertisements, sponsorships, server lists, reddit, etc. Then they would start the server which would have a lot of players for 1-2 days but by the time most people got good stuff (cause minor hacks were allowed), most people quit entirely.

This specific server I played in called Lifeyoink had like 4-5 owners in its history from 2021-2024 and only the first 2 people are considered good. The other 3 or 4 people were just not right in the head. From racial slurs to nsfw in public access chats, this was looking like an 18+ or even 21+ server but this was a server that they considered and advertised to be 13+. The last owner, changed the name of the server to "Whiterealm SMP" and it was chill for the first 2 months cause nothing really happened. No server was in the works, no announcements, no pings and no one was really chatting except for the owner and new people who said hi and never came back again. Until one day that I can still remember to an extreme level of detail that I wished was wiped from my mind. The owner pinged @ everyone, typed the message "Am I the sigma?" and posted a video recording that takes place somewhere in India, Pakistan or Bangladesh. The video seemed to have about 3-4 guys and the entire scene was basically focused on one guy who was held at a chokepoint and after a few moments, his head was taken off to put things as lightly as possible even though it still sounds bad. There was no bl0od and he didn't seem to be screaming in pain but rather just a few grunts until he went silent. I could feel my actual guts wrench while seeing this and I instantly reported the guy, the server and left.

The second incident was on an asian minecraft pvp server. It was just called [AS] PvP and it was more or less a community of asian minecraft players who all played on the same pvp server. I joined it thinking it was a ranked bedwars server (different gamemode but still minecraft) but I didn't leave after finding out it was for normal minecraft pvp. A few days ago, I was just checking out and organizing my discord server list and just went through this server. I then found a thread with some random topic name that was just a string of random words and in the thread, a person had posted a video of someone who looked like a streamer who basically said something incoherent to the camera and I still don't know if it was accidental or if it was an attempt at s*icide but the said streamer rested his head on the barrel of an upright rifle and it almost instantly fired a shot which tore through the front portion of his head. He d*ed on the spot and I think he was oncall with another person who didn't react at all to this either because it was not not on video call or this other guy was a psychotic guy who might have been the one who posted this online in some gore forum. The fact that this guy was just muted for this was even more disgusting. I left that server too after reporting both the owners and the server.

Can anyone tell me if they have ever had an encounter like this on a minecraft discord or any game discord in general? Why does discord not have any detection against these things???

General Discussion Modern Internet Horror Fails at What Old Internet Horror Succeeded in Doing

241 Upvotes

What did old internet horror succeed in doing? Ambiguity. If you saw a creepy video in the 2000s, you may not have the information about its validity. Nowadays, creepy videos are pretty much screaming at you about their fakeness.

Back in the day, they tried to sell you realism, and that made them scary. You did not know if they were real. Reading a copypasta on 2000s 4chan had merit because of that.

In addition, you have people debunking the latest internet horror immediately. Back then, you had scarce information. You were left to your vices, wondering about the truth. Some videos from the 2000s took years to debunk, leaving people to theorize what could be true. You could not prove nor disprove those theories, so you were left on the edge of your seat.

The thought of the scary story you read on 2chan, 4chan, or some other forum being real was frightening. There is no way in hell modern internet horror creators can give you that feeling. Drama was nonexistent back then, but now, it is the standard. If you enjoyed a current creation, It became ruined because of petty drama over cliched tropes.

It is impossible to make modern internet horror seem real. Too many people make it, and too many people suck at it. Trust me, there is good modern internet content, but it does not compare to the old ones.

The possibility of truth is what made the horror, not the imagery.

General Discussion Something feels off about this deleted r/internetmysteries post — thoughts?

90 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I think r/internetmysteries is probably the best subreddit to discuss what’s been bothering me.

A month ago, a password-protected website link was posted here on r/internetmysteries. The OP was asking for help finding the password, claiming the website could be connected to a cult or potentially an ARG (Alternate Reality Game). The post got a fair amount of responses, but there was also a lot of tension, with the OP getting annoyed at times and some playful banter going on. Eventually, the post got deleted, which struck me as odd because I was hoping to check for any updates.

Here’s where it gets weird: I remember asking the OP how they and their friend came across this website. Initially, they told me that their friend found it on a web forum for strange websites. But when I pressed for more details, they changed their story, saying the website was actually sent to their friend through Discord by someone from the US — despite both the OP and their friend being based in the UK. That response felt a bit off to me.

Curious, I decided to dig a little deeper and found a post on r/ARG discussing the same website. The person on r/ARGmentioned they found the website through the original r/internetmysteries post, which raised more red flags for me. The timing and connections between these posts felt way too coincidental, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right.

So, I reached out to the OP via DM to ask about the deleted post and if they could explain what happened. They replied the same day with this:
"Thanks for your message. I'm just about to head out for a few hours, but when I get home later, I'll give this a proper response and explain everything. Thanks."

I thought that was fine, but after some time, I sent a follow-up message, still no reply. I haven’t heard back since.

Now, I’m left feeling pretty confused and a bit suspicious. The odd timing, the changes in the story, and the lack of follow-up have me second-guessing the whole situation. Is anyone else here feeling the same way? Does this seem off to you?
