for a variety of reasons. It is dark in the sense that it is largely
hidden from public view. It is made up of encrypted networks that can
only be accessed with special browsers such as Tor. This encryption allows users to have an anonymity
that keeps their identities mostly but not completely in the dark. And then there is its dark content. While the Dark Web contains harmless and helpful
websites, it is better known as a black market for illegal items and a breeding ground for
other criminal and inhumane activities. We will present five strange stories from
this part of the Internet in today’s episode of The Infographics Show, “Most Bizarre
Dark Web Stories.” 5. Red Rooms
The existence of “red rooms” is the most popular myth about the Dark Web according
to journalist Eileen Ormsby. A red room is a website that offers “pay
per view” live streaming of someone being tortured and/or killed. Red rooms can be interactive too. Paying viewers have the opportunity to “type
in torture commands in a chat box.” Red rooms are generally thought to be an urban
legend due to a lack of solid evidence that they exist. According to a Washington Post article, there
is not much more proof of their existence other than people on Reddit, 4Chan, and Hidden
Wiki “trading second- and third- and fourth-hand accounts of red rooms opened and closed.” In addition, the article points out that red
rooms and “such operations have never been busted in the FBI’s increasingly frequent
Dark Web raids.” What also makes people doubt the existence
of red rooms are the fake ones that have popped up over the years such as one that created
a stir amongst 4Chan and Reddit users in 2015. According to a Motherboard article, the site’s
owner humorously promised “there would be bacon,” but the live torture turned out
to nothing more than footage of a man being forced to eat bacon. 4. The Human Experiment
A bizarre Dark Web website that seems like an urban legend is called The Human Experiment. The website presents the chilling story of
what these experiments involve. Test subjects, who are “usually homeless
people that are unregistered citizens,” are taken to one of four warehouses where
doctors and medical students perform brutal and unethical experiments such as vivisection,
sterilization, and drug trials. There are even tests for “neonate and infant
tolerances to x-rays, heat, and pressure.” The test subjects usually don’t live very
long, and the website goes into gruesome detail about what happens to them after they die
from the experiments: “The bodies of the dead are dissected and then disposed of in
dumpsters of meat shops where their bodies will not be found.” The Thought Catalog cautions that “we may
never know whether ‘The Human Experiment’ is real or just an elaborate hoax.” 3. Cannibal Victim “Ad”
In 2018, a 21-year-old Texas man named Alexander Nathan Barter went on the Dark Web on a horrifying
mission. His plan was to find a young girl he could
rape, kill, and eat. According to a Daily Mail article, he allegedly
wrote a Dark Web posting for “anyone willing to let him eat a young girl and then have
sex with the corpse.” Instead of finding a victim, however, he caught
the attention of an undercover agent. The agent pretended to be a parent willing
to offer up his daughter to him. Barter and the agent set up a meeting by email. Authorities were able to “trace the dark
web posting to Barter by subpoenaing subscriber information and IP logs,” so they were able
to arrest him outside of his home on the day of the meeting. He was found with “a plastic trash bag and
a knife.” Barter was jailed and charged with several
felonies, including “criminal solicitation, attempted capital murder, conspiracy to commit
capital murder, and attempted sexual performance of a child.” 2. Church Man Hires Hitman on Dark Web
A 44-year-old Minnesota man named Stephen Allwine wanted his wife, Amy, dead. In February 2016, he attempted to hire someone
to kill her on the Dark Web, choosing Besa Mafia for the job. Months passed, and Amy was still alive. According to Fox 9, the FBI eventually informed
Stephen and Amy Allwine that “agents had shut down a phony murder-for-hire operation
on the so-called Dark Net called Besa Mafia.” They also learned that “someone with the
name ‘DogDayGod’ had transferred $12,000 in untraceable Bitcoin in an attempt to hire
a hitman” to kill Amy, although some sources say the amount was $6,000. Despite this setback, Allwine would not give
up. He came up with another plan to kill her. This time he would do it himself. A Washington Post article reports that he
“got a permit for a 9mm Springfield XDS handgun” in August 2016. This did not raise any suspicion because local
law enforcement suggested they get “increased security.” It would be the same gun found near Amy’s
body on November 13, 2016. She died in her bedroom with a single gunshot
wound to her head in what initially appeared to be a suicide. However, a growing body of evidence pointed
to Stephen Allwine as her murderer. According to the Washington Post, there was
physical evidence. For instance, there was no gunpowder and blood
found on Amy’s hands, but “gunshot residue was found on Stephen’s right hand.” Another important piece of evidence from Amy
Allwine’s autopsy was the discovery of a “large amount of scopolamine, a nausea treatment
that can incapacitate someone who takes high doses.” She “had no prescription for the drug.” Digital evidence linking Allwine to his wife’s
murder also emerged. Fox 9 reported that “computer forensic expert,
Mark Lanterman, discovered a 34-digit Bitcoin address on Allwine’s computer.” Lanterman found “it matched the same address
obtained when FBI agents shut down Besa Mafia.”And apparently Allwine was dumb enough to purchase
scopolamine under the same alias he used to hire the hit on his wife. A detective “discovered ‘DogDayGod’
also attempted to buy the anti-nausea drug Scopolamine on a Dark Net site called ‘Dream
Market.’” In February 2018, Allwine was found guilty
of his wife’s murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole
for his crime. Some of the circumstances leading Allwine
to kill his wife are just as bizarre as the killing itself. Before the murder, Allwine was a church elder
at the United Church of God in Cottage Grove, Minnesota. One of his church duties included acting as
a marriage counselor to troubled couples in his congregation. After learning about the infamous adultery
website Ashley Madison from his marriage counseling sessions, he ironically began using the service
himself. According to the Washington Post, he allegedly
“had affairs with at least two women he met on the site.” He wanted to end his marriage, but he had
a high position in a conservative church that looked down upon divorce. In his twisted mind, killing Amy seemed to
be the best solution to his problem. 1. Sad Satan
Sad Satan is a video game that was supposedly discovered on the Dark Web in 2015. One horror news website called the 13th Floor
describes it as a “weird, semi-abstract horror game made up of black and white visuals,
obscure ghost children, and a soundtrack of famous serial killers like John Wayne Gacy
and Charles Manson.” It also features disturbing images such as
“Satanic and Nazi imagery” and creepy “backwards speeches and music.” Oddly enough, while there seems to be a message
about child abuse in the game, the children are the ones who abuse the player in Sad Satan. According to TV Tropes, they eventually follow
and harm the player in some versions of the game, leading to the player’s demise. Sad Satan may seem like an aimless and badly
made walkthrough game, but it is far from harmless. The game was featured on a YouTube channel
called Obscure Horror Corner (OHC). The owner of OHC told gaming website Kotaku
that he downloaded it from an Onion site on the recommendation of a subscriber, but OHC’s
owner eventually had to delete the game because it “came with a file that freaked them out.” According to TV Tropes, OHC’s owner also
eventually admitted that he posted the wrong link to the game on his YouTube channel after
he discovered the game contained illegal images of minors and “actual snuff” that he did
not want to spread on the Internet. Different versions of the game have been made
over the years. There are some “clean” clones, but others
are not. Besides “graphic and horrific content,”
TV Tropes states that “some versions of the game are downright dangerous to play because
they mangle your computer.” There has been a lot of speculation about
why the game was made. The 13th Floor states that some people believe
it is a “sting from police” or a “recruiting tool for cults.” One news website presents the possibility
that the game might have been the “starting point for an alternate reality game“ or
“part of some narrative project or viral marketing scheme.” According to TV Tropes, another theory is
that the game was part of a “publicity stunt to popularize OHC.” We may never know if this theory is accurate. While the game has remained in the spotlight,
OHC’s owner has disappeared along with the original version of the game. The Dark Web can be home to some pretty bizarre

Redrooms are a lie, it's impossible to stream video over deepweb
and hitmans are all a scam, never confirmed
Sad Satan has proven a hoax but a lot of iceberg jizzing idiots still believe it. The original YouTuber made an absurd claim and posted a fake link that was impossible to be a functioning link to claim it is how down. The individual later changed his story because some amateur game developer made a complete copy and passed it off as the full released. The troll released it and it flashed child pornography which prompted the YouTuber to claim that is the reason they never released it.
Basically, a game an amateur can easily make from inspiration of a fake video forcing a new urban legend for views was seen as edgy and morbid but it is just another Polybious. It isn't real. Not in the sense it came from the deep web. The one we know came from, I believe, 4chan after the rumor pooped up.
Sad Satan is just a game made to look edgy. It's not from the "dark web." The original was just posted to YouTube and labeled "deep web" to get views (which worked spectacularly, apparently). Then someone added the CP and gore pics to it to give it credibility as coming from the "deep web" (or so I assume). The person who made it listed a supposed onion site that it came from, but it had invalid characters, which is rather suspicious.
Came to this sub from that video ngl
Nope. :)
I’m not sure about Sad Satan, but I do know about Satan’s Sphinx. I once talked to a guy recently about it who claims to have seen it in 2006, and he was one of the few couple hundred people that saw it. I’m not going to give his name out since he’d prefer that I wouldn’t. I’m going to call him King. I personally don’t believe this guy.
King said that it almost made him kill himself. He only watch four out of the full twelve hours. After one hour, the word Phase would appear, but at the beginning, it just said Phase 1. Each phase seemed to depict something, as if it had a plot. But each phase had less and less meaning.
Phase 1 was about some teenage, brunette, Schizophrenic girl who was very depressed. It began with her at the dentist, getting all of teeth ripped out with no anesthesia. Multiple languages were being spoken at once, but the only which he recognized (English) saying something like, “It’s good for you” and “More pain.” The strangest part about it was that she enjoyed the pain. There were many close ups of each tooth being pulled, individually.
Phase 2 said it was made 1975 in Russia. It contained flashing lights that would randomly appear. Then symbols would appear for a few seconds. Then after half an hour of this nonsense. It all stopped.
He said this in the chat:
Phase 3 was apparently a Satanic ritual murder that was filmed in Italy in 2005 as it said on the screen.
Phase 4 was supposedly so horrible he said he would t describe the horrors and monstrosities that he saw.
From what I understand it's possible that it's real. I've never encountered it myself nor have I heard from anyone I know that they have.
But just like with everything else, possible.
