      That’s a throwback! A good supplement I found was the everyday chemistry Beatles mix. Sure it is now known as a mashup but when I first heard it was more of a mystery like this!

      Ooh strong throwback here. I can’t remember most of his predictions but I recall he had strong reference in that Steins;Gate visual novel game.

        Starts off as a caving blog then pivots into a mystery that keeps you wondering if it was real.

      I hope they’re living their best life. I hope they see how far their writing has come, and feel at least a little pride at how much of an impact their work has had.

      We mostly know these from YouTubers that are big enough to have terminally online fans that send them the juicy but relatively unknown mysteries, or are themselves terminally online.

      I can provide you with a list of channels if you wish.

      At first I thought she was shoeonhead, since she looks similar and the name tracks from the era Boxxy was active, but apparently it’s a different person.

    Okay, I know it has been concluded that it was just a story that evolved and became this legend, based on some very simple and non-mysterious incident or maybe none at all, but I was really intrigued by The Man From Taured. It was a really chilling story, regardless.
