00:00 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the Reddit posts that were

00:09 created under suspicious circumstances and have yet to be fully explained.

00:17 Number 10.

00:19 Hotel Zaza Name a better duo than the internet and insane

00:23 conspiracies based on creepy occurrences.

00:26 When someone mentioned their friend's unnerving room at Hotel Zaza featuring absurdist art

00:32 and with various skulls and chains adorning the walls, users automatically assumed the

00:37 worst.

00:38 The claims varied from marketing schemes to secret societies.

00:41 Further looks on the hotel's website show that the room didn't even exist in their

00:45 database.

00:46 The most alarming aspect came when the OP claimed to have been offered a bribe to drop

00:51 the threat entirely.

00:53 Right now, the most plausible explanation was that their friend was in a prototype of

00:57 a themed room.

00:58 But we'll never know for sure, considering it's been over a decade since the last update.

01:03 Number 9.

01:05 Unfavorable Semicircle What is it about odd videos that makes them

01:08 so captivating?

01:09 When a YouTube channel called Unfavorable Semicircle started publishing videos en masse

01:15 in 2015, it caught Reddit's attention.

01:18 Thousands of clips were put up while they were active, ranging between 5 seconds and

01:23 9 hours.

01:32 Theories were created almost immediately.

01:34 Some were more benign, like those suggesting it was an alternative reality game or abstract

01:40 art.

01:41 Others felt like the videos were coming from a more insidious place, and claimed that they

01:45 were the work of a cult.

01:52 While the original account doesn't exist anymore, the conundrum still lives on.

01:57 There's even a website dedicated to documenting the videos and their potential meaning.

02:01 It's a deep rabbit hole, and the answer may never be found.

02:15 Number 8.

02:16 Mystery Rock Song On r/TipOfMyTongue, a member posted a snippet

02:21 of a song they heard from a now-deleted video.

02:24 They assumed that it had been recorded in the 1980s or 90s, but had no other information

02:28 pertaining to its potential source.

02:40 When played, a slightly muted soft rock song is heard.

02:43 Although it sounded familiar, no one could pin down any verifiable details.

02:48 Guesses ranged across decades and artists, with the Smiths and the Squeeze being both

02:53 popular yet controversial estimates.

02:56 Googling the lyrics and using Shazam also didn't help.

02:59 After a year of arguments in the comments and no follow-up, the request was locked.

03:04 To this day, it still hasn't been found, although some believe it was recorded by a

03:08 smaller band that never took off.

03:18 Number 7.

03:19 Sleep As Android Recording When recording yourself sleeping, you may

03:23 catch a few noises like a snore or a mumble.

03:26 What's less likely is hearing a series of clicks and deep voices.

03:32 Hearing that prompted someone to present the clip "r/ghosts", where they asked for

03:37 confirmation of the spooky occurrence.

03:39 The response was mixed.

03:41 Some told them that it was a home invasion, while others doubled down on it being a spirit.

03:46 Considering there was only one recording, there wasn't a lot to go off of.

03:53 Besides the poster's explanations, while she did upgrade her home security and didn't

03:58 hear any more voices, the clicking ended up being a semi-regular occurrence.

04:07 Eventually, she and her son moved out entirely, leaving the mystery behind for good.

04:12 Number 6.

04:14 Wi-Fi Beneath Concrete Pad After moving to an urban farm, someone noticed

04:19 something rather unsettling – a group of functioning Wi-Fi signals emanating from underneath

04:24 a concrete pad.

04:25 The curiosity got the better of them and they performed various experiments, including using

04:30 a thermal camera and pouring water into drilled holes to gauge the depth.

04:34 OP wasn't the one paying for those routers, which means someone else was, and they couldn't

04:39 figure out why.

04:40 They were completely convinced they had stumbled across a trafficking ring, while others guessed

04:45 it was a money laundering scheme.

04:47 Both posts made about the topic didn't get much traction, and there hasn't been new

04:51 information in over seven years.

04:53 What's underneath may never be found out, for better or for worse.

04:57 Number 5.

04:59 Coffin in the Driveway What would you do if you came home to a sealed

05:03 casket?

05:04 In this Redditor's case, the answer was to upload it to r/WTF.

05:09 It included a snapshot of the ominous box, which appeared to have been casually dropped

05:13 off in the middle of their driveway.

05:15 After being convinced to open it, they found a single key and a set of coordinates that

05:19 led to a cemetery in Western Europe.

05:22 This is where people started to get skeptical.

05:25 Some brushed it off as an attempted viral campaign and decried it as fake.

05:29 Others weren't quite so convinced and encouraged OP to continue their investigation.

05:34 Alas, nothing was ever found out, and after nine years, it appears it will unfortunately

05:40 stay that way.

05:41 Number 4.

05:42 The Bridge Some things are better left unexplored.

05:46 Over a decade ago, r/LetsNotMeet was hit with a terrifying post about a group of friends

05:52 that explored an old bridge.

05:54 While inside, they eventually came across an open space, consisting of several chilling

05:59 items.

06:00 There were eyeless images on the wall, a chair, and even a bloody contraceptive.

06:05 They were able to get out safely, but OP ended up going back after their story took off.

06:09 The sequel was just as menacing, with new discoveries and pictures to back up the claims.

06:15 No other updates were made, leaving observers to put the pieces together.

06:19 To this day, people are unsure if they stumbled upon an unhoused person's shelter, or if

06:24 the whole thing was well-written fiction.

06:26 Number 3.

06:28 The Mystery Button The website is known for their April Fool's

06:31 Day jokes, but this one was an anomaly.

06:34 The button had a simple concept.

06:36 A timer would count down and would restart whenever someone clicked it.

06:40 It became a widespread internet phenomenon, with people coming from all over to take their

06:44 turn.

06:48 What started out as a fun game devolved into an odd cast system.

06:52 Each user was given a colored flare based on their participation and when they pressed.

06:57 Somehow this devolved into a cult-like mentality, with leaders to go with it.

07:02 It lasted months before finally ending.

07:04 No one knows why they left the gag running for so long, as the button had accidentally

07:08 hit zero multiple times.

07:11 Or why it was taken so seriously.

07:16 Number 2.

07:17 The 432 Mystery This may have started on 4chan, but over time,

07:22 Reddit took over the reins.

07:24 It started with a sinister email stating that the receiver had been chosen, with a link

07:28 to a mysterious site.

07:29 They were only able to reach it by accessing the dark web.

07:33 Over time, puzzles were uploaded and subsequently solved.

07:37 Things took an alarming turn when the administrators started uploading the names and photos of

07:41 people playing.

07:42 Despite that, participants were still committed to finding out the truth behind the twisted

07:46 story.

07:47 One day, the owner went silent and stopped updating.

07:50 While people still used r/432mystery to continue the search, the sub was eventually shut down.

07:57 This means we may never know who started the project and, more importantly, why.

08:16 Number 1.

08:19 The Box of Crazy About a decade ago, a user came across a

08:23 sealed briefcase.

08:25 After getting it open, they discovered a variety of contents.

08:28 On the calmer side were blueprints and a table of elements.

08:32 Things devolved from there.

08:34 Drawings of UFOs and multi-headed entities occupied the pages, getting more horrifying

08:39 in detail.

08:40 It was clear that whoever had drawn these was dedicated to their beliefs to an extreme

08:44 degree.

08:45 Some commenters posited that it was most likely someone struggling with their mental health

08:49 who had become obsessed with the Bible verse.

08:52 However, others couldn't help but feel there's something much deeper to this enigma.

08:56 And they're still holding out for answers.

08:59 Which Reddit mystery puzzles you the most?

09:02 Let us know in the comments below.
