The Disturbing Hoaxes Iceberg Explained

Video Overview & Insights

Exploring the darkest deceptions that fooled the world.

I'm from the US and have never heard of Jenkem. I heard of the cat pee trend... where kids were sniffing male cat pee/pheromones, but never Jenkem.

I actually used to believe the dropbear thing, but I thought it was just something that actually happened in areas where diseases like rabies were common. I thought those were justbears that were possibly infectious or aggressive due to an illness and thats why they dropped from trees

Technically it is possible to stream on tor browser and the like either by direct streaming at poor quality or using mirror/relay whereby the dark web becomes the landing page and the stream happens by other means. So red rooms are technically very possible and given my estimation of humanity quite likely

9:37 Yeah, I remember this one. I was 12 when this came out. I had already become a UFO/UAP enthusiast since 1990, after seeing one that was neon green on the outside and pale yellow in the middle. Had me fooled for a bit. However, there is one video out there that keeps getting taken down that supposedly shows a Grey held in solitary confinement (not the interview one), and showed the being huddled in a corner, looking scared, and tries to shield its face from the flashlights. The reaction would have been hard to fake since it was before AI, but video was released after the official UFO/UAP disclosure at a congressional committee hearing.

THE COOPER FAMILY PHOTO with the falling figure has been solved in an amazing documentary that not only finds the creator but also correctly figures out the method by which it was made given the lack of digital image markers or other evidence of tampering. It's almost a true analogue photo which is why it stumped everyone for so long but the sinple genius behind it pays testament to the dogged work put in by one of youtubes hidden gem creators. It's available somewhere for any willing to look and i urge you to find it and give it a watch.

Spoiler alert: The creator is one of the kids in the picture!

"The Disturbing Hoaxes Iceberg Explained"
This title of the video tells me you believe the events in the video are hoaxes, yes? If a group at Cern held a sacrifice ceremony, do you actually believe they would just confess when cough red handed?
How naĂŻve are you?!? I'm glad you aren't a police officer! "Did you murder that man? No Sir! Alrighty then you are free to go."

This was actually way more harmless than I thought, I thought there'd be hoaxes on the list that actually destroyed people's lifes or drove somebody to end themselves or something.

5:30 LMAO I've never heard of it having to do with Paul McCartney and Avril Lavigne but I've heard about Gucci Mane being replaced many times. He served a lengthy prison sentence and looked different years later after he got out. He also acted a little different and his music somewhat changed. I would assume half a decade in prison could do that to a person. He still put out great music and was more successful than ever... Anyways... There is this crazy conspiracy theory that he never got out of prison alive and it is a replacement person or a clone or something LMAO. Insane stuff. This Paul McCartney and Avril Lavigne stuff sounds very similar.

The Cooper falling body picture mystery was recently solved!

It WAS a hoax ofc, but the guy who made it (Richard Ramsdell, not Cooper lol) is actually one of the children in the photo. The 'staging' of the photo was not orchestrated, the family photo was actually framed this way for some reason. Richard was/is a photographer who made interesting art by messing with photo techniques, and decided to take an old family photo of his family, project it upside down onto a wall and then take a picture of himself jumping in front of the projection. So ironically, the falling body is one of the kids, just grown up into a delightfully creative guy.

He posted it to his art website, someone took it and made the Cooper story, and the rest is history. He apparently did try to play along with the story pretending to be a relative 'stumbling' across the forums talking about this old family image, then wrote a book about it under that pseudonym. Youtubers Jeffiot and Valdevia went on a deep dive investigation (10/10 video, please check it out) and he eventually came clean after they successfully guessed how he created the image. Very wholesome, fascinating bit of internet history with an answer that feels somehow better to know than the enduring mystery.

Honestly even if Elvis hadn't died when he did, he would very likely be dead by now anyways

@Randomodnar
@

23:54 Solved! The creator came forward. Turns out the family photograph was his own, and he just projected it upside down and stood in front of it to make the scary image. So yeah, surprisingly not photoshopped, but still fake either way.

@alexnocraphole
@

The alien autopsy footage also doesn’t make sense. Why wouldn’t the scientists dissecting the aliens take any specimens of the alien’s organs or body parts? You can see they just dumped the organs into a bucket, presumably to be thrown away.

@nicholaslienandjaja1815
@

There was a youtuber who actually found the origins of the Cooper family photo. If memory serves, it was an old photo that the image author had of him, his mother, and either a friend or an aunt, and he just used some sort of super specific polaroid editing trick to add another image he took of himself on top of it. I don’t remember why he did, but it was a good watch.

Not sure why. I love your channel, but YouTube keeps seemingly waiting until every night after I have just dozed off and it will always auto play this video in particular. No matter how many times it's played or how many times I've watched it YouTube will just keep auto playing it when I've fallen asleep or when I'm not around seemingly every time it has the chance. I don't even have to be watching anything within the same genre for it to immediately auto play it. It has woken me up during the Zoombie EAS Broadcast segment for the past two weeks now lmao. Love YouTube algorithm

Fun fact, while the Cooper family photo was very fake, it actually wasn't altered digitally! It was an art project by Richard Cooper (the boy on the right). The original photo was taken in 1959, but in 1981, when he was in his twenties, he dug up the photo, projected it upside down on a wall, donned a scary costume, posed in front of the projection to make it look like he was falling from above, and snapped a new photo of the whole setup—that being the infamous one we know and love today.

@jordanr.2120

"The Cooper family" photo has been solved. The creator of the photo was... one of the Coopers, more specifically, the kid on the right. He's an artist and the photo is one of his artpiece in his album.

23:54 that foto if i remenber correctly it was an art proyect thr photo took a lot more fame when people analized and found out that it wasnt edited in photoshop, the original photo was only the family and the person that edited proyected de photo made the pose and took this photo with a camera, thats how The body blends so well into the picture i dont remenber the channel but somene made a video about it and even talked with the photo creator
