The Backrooms of the Internet Archive

I recall a thread years and years ago about a guy who found an abandoned digital camera in the woods, only to take it home and extract the photos from its SD card, and as everyone poured over them, they began noticing odd figures in the trees and so on.

That's the kind of fun group activity I love about these mysterious things

Got a link to those photos? Sounds like an interesting story, whether true or not.

The photos feel like a story being told. Meant to be in an almost serial way.

You can actually do this with YouTube. By search for MOV001 etc.

Mental Outlaw did a video demonstrating this a while ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Ho_KDPi_U

It's 2024 and need a search engine that doesn't suck

I expected dumb gameplays and influencers. Somehow zero of those. Almost all the random samples have been immensely interesting.
