Anomaly 100
NAME: Lights Out Webpage
CLASSIFICATION: B
DESCRIPTION: A YouPostIt webpage featuring videos (length being between 15 seconds to 3 ½ minutes) of cheap CGI of nightmarish creatures in found footage format. Some of which are 3D renderings of famous mascots like Pumpkin Pete, Pongo, Freddy Ursabear, Playtime Peter and many others, while others are original creations.
LEVEL: Reality
INFORMATION: Unable to contain due to it being a Reality Class Anomaly. Only one random individual out of fifty thousand will be susceptible to the Anomalies effects.
HISTORY: After the Great War, Atlas created the Cross Continental transit Towers as a gift to the other Kingdoms. A way to connect everyone around the world. With the creation of the CCT, came other technical marvels to go along with it. One of which is YouPostIt. YouPostIt is an online video sharing and social media platform with hundreds of thousands of users posting videos, comments, and other streaming services. One such page is Lights Out.
Lights Out is a webpage that showcases cheap CGI of nightmarish creatures in found footage format. Each and every video always ends in a jump scare. This has made it popular with many and currently has 125k subscribers and over 50 videos.
The reality is that this webpage is an Anomaly.
An anomaly that only affects one random individual out of every fifty thousand.
Said individual after viewing one or multiple videos from the anomaly will suddenly start to see a random 3D nightmarish entity from one of the videos that they and only they will see.
The entity will at first be at a distance, but over the course of twenty-four hours the entity will slowly get closer and closer, making the individual becoming more paranoid and fearful. At the twenty-fourth hour, the entity will charge at them and they will vanish. No sign of a struggle, no forced entry. Nothing.
Consecutive views of one video after another has a much different effect. Instead of being taken by a random creature from the video, you will still see see them in real life, but only for the amount of time equal to how many videos you've seen. Examples being twenty videos would be the equivalent of twenty seconds.
As of the Anomaly's appearance a five years ago, a total of seven individuals have fallen victim to the anomaly. Luckily of those afflicted were from outlier villages outside the Kingdoms. But its only a matter of time when that majority shifts.
ARC CORP has spent hundreds of thousands of lien to try and delete the webpage, but all have been unsuccessful. It was then designated as a REALITY CLASS Anomaly.
Sometimes, one of the 3D nightmarish creatures featured in the videos features an uncanny resemblance to a past anomaly eliminated by ARC CORP. How it does this is unknown.
A/N: I based this anomaly off of the youtube webpage called Lights Are Off. The average viewing of a Youtube video on a single page is at least 200 views. Multiply that over 365 days a year which give the total of 73,000 views. Then multiply by 5 years and the total is 365,000. Divide by 50,000 individuals and you get the total missing.
