YouTube hides many secrets that no one suspects, but sometimes some of the darkest are hidden in plain sight.. In recent days, a disturbing video began to circulate on the video platform that is accessed with a trick, and what it revealed was one of the most mysterious faces of YouTube that rarely come to light.
To see this bizarre video you just need to go to your favorite YouTube video, but it can be any that you have at hand. Once inside you have to alter the URL by removing the letter “h” from the word “watch” which is found immediately after youtube.com. It has also been tested that you can remove the letter “c” and the result will be the same, sending you to this page which, according to some people, could be cursed.
Once inside prepare for terror, because the video displays a series of extremely strange images that evoke the color of blood and organs, all set by disturbing noises as if from the underworld. If you have what it takes to watch it you can check it out below:
The truth behind the disturbing YouTube video
Unfortunately the video that had been uploaded by user 666 was removed from YouTube on July 27, and now the hack redirects you to another channel called IHP which has just over 4k subscribers. However, it may not be the first time you have seen this video, as there is a whole story behind it.
The video is actually a small snippet taken from another popular horror video uploaded to YouTube with the title “username:666” in February 2008. More than a decade ago! It is a creation of youtuber nana825763 as a kind of creepypasta, because in his day it was said that whoever saw the full video could end up cursed. We don’t know if this last part is true, but check out this internet horror artwork for yourself if you’ve never seen it:
And why does the video come out when we remove the “h” in the YouTube URL? It is difficult to find the exact cause without knowing in depth the fabric of the site, but it is related to custom channel urls. Channels can create custom links to their own profiles, even removing letters from the word “watch” without too much trouble. It is likely that user 666 took advantage of this to generate a glitch on the platform, effectively redirecting us to the disturbing video that, at least for us, will not let us sleep tonight.
