[Music] hey what's going on everyone I'd say to quickly apologize I was supposed to upload the Batman verse 1 video today but something happened the other day that's completely fucked it's great the baby rapper girl has taken it's a picture of you from a video when you've got all cuts in your face and it says better with your eyes closed and it's really mean audio I if you're at all interested in the darker side of the internet then you most likely encountered the topic that we're going to discuss today either through reddit Instagram snapchat Twitter or YouTube I know where she is or Ashe vlogs or this is Kate or happy trip or even raka raka himself have all been intertwined within a very dense turn of events through various internet mediums that have all left internet viewers wondering what exactly it is that's happening within the lore of this story is there some crazy cult out there that's stalking raka is ash being held in captivity is there some killer on the loose well not quite before we begin this we have to address the elephant in the room ash vlogs I know where she is and the rack Arrakis situation that we're about to discuss are all simply an Arg and admittedly a very good one at that if you're completely lost right now and have no idea what I'm talking about that don't worry I'm gonna do my best to largely present to you the narrative surrounding this internet mystery and this will be a long one so buckle down grab a drink once more and get comfy because we're about to blindly jump into the ash vlogs rabbet haul [Music] so admittedly this story is very very convoluted as I said before you may have accidentally or purposefully stumbled upon this arg through various mediums including Reddit YouTube Instagram snapchat hell even discord and tumblr have their own branches in this however for ease of flow and since we're already bringing up their name I'd like to start you off with what I've called the RAC Arrakis situation now going back to July of 2018 Danny one of the brothers and creators of the racket channel made a video titled someone wants my sister dead in this he opened by showing us a strange Instagram account obsessing over his sister Helen and the captions of each of these photos there was a letter and when pieced together they concluded that it took them to a streamable comm link that showed this and it says better with your eyes closed and is really audio [Applause] this video showed an edit of helen was blood on her face and screaming sounds and after showing her everything she plays it off like she has some crazy fan really not letting a git tour too badly anyway jumping forward they formed the conclusion with the help of a fan that this has a connection with a weird comment that they read on a previous reddit video from an account by the name of I know where she is now if you scour reddit then you've probably heard of this account before largely known for spamming cryptic comments all over various subreddits this account had a lot of mystery surrounding it anyway back to the comment they read after decrypting it they made the connection that it translates to the phrase she's in the floor the reason I bring this part up is because it presents us with a direct tie-in of this account to the overall lore in the series giving it an entirely different branch of codes and cryptic messages to uncover jumping ahead the next video is when things really begin to ramp up clue after clue began to pop up for the brothers and they claim that they've been since sound flips through a discord group and have been discovering cryptic messages from Oliver edits after this he exclaims that they all tie back to a YouTube channel by the name of Ash vlogs and interestingly a few weeks prior he was supposed to have Iran for a collaboration but last minute she dropped out shortly after he explains that Ash messaged him wanting to meet up and quick DeForest a spot where someone was murdered in 2012 obviously not agreeing with the alone parts him and his crew venture out there in a pack and after reaching the meetup spot very late at night Danny decides to livestream his venture into this forest alone [Music] I'm on live streaming this is like 20 people in the forest iffy if you do anything you'll be on camera after this he discovers a group of three people slowly walking away from an ominous tent with the same strange symbol plastered all over it that they saw in a spectrogram that he had mentioned previously after going to investigate it he brought back a piece of paper with that same emblem on it to show the group to their surprise in the videos following this various other creepy things happen Erica but honestly doesn't come with much substance their videos seem to be more like vlogs akin to the style of Jake Paul was like one minute per video of actual story progression thrown in there at the very end like an afterthought with this in mind I'm going to end the coverage of the RAC Arrakis situation here and pivot to the Lions Den the real bulk of this mystery being the Ashe vlog channel itself what is the deal with his channel why was raka raka all of a sudden wrapped up into this crazy conspiracy and who even is Ashe let's take a look [Music] all right so let's start from the top the first video that Ash released on her channel is one that's titled I'm starting a vlog how original in this we meet our protagonist in a typical front-and-center format she excitedly talks about how she wanted to start a vlog for quite some time now and goes forth to do typical introductory things and 0 of you could help me out let me know what you want to see more like you don't like how to make it better now about halfway through the video something weird happens a strange sound reminiscent of a baby crying begins to play in the background and ash interestingly ignores it shortly after this sound we could hear stomping with the same non-reaction and I finally updated from maybe make it so this could simply be her neighbor or something upstairs making noise no big deal for now at the end though ash says three words being claim to fame before reaching out for the camera to turn it off and while this happens it glitches slightly we can notice here that in the description of this video is a link and when clicking on it we get this [Music] okay so let's recap we have ash starting her own vlog on her channel she humbly begins by greeting us and telling the audience about herself strange crying noises begin to happen for some stomps all of which ash ignores and then at the end we have a glitch with the words claim to fame said aloud to us even weirder straight out of the gate in the description of her own video she is a link to another one showing someone appearing to be trapped inside of a creepy abandoned structure with the laptop open to the YouTube upload page guys we're only on video 1 what is going on here alright let's press on and see if we can piece together some answers the second upload on her channel is largely a continuation of a previous video in this one she opens by greeting everyone and telling the audience about an adventure that she took to a mill nearby her house throughout the next few cuts we could see her out about at a park then a bridge then at the mill itself she explains that she broke into it and that ends up being spun into a comedic story of her running from the cops and all of that midway through she finally addresses the noise that was happening in the first video claiming that she lives in an apartment complex with paper-thin walls afterwards she goes forth and offers to introduce the audience to her neighbor Katy hello hello Katy there lady Katie you're out you there like who else would've been you're talkin to someone else well I mean I thought that our will relationship with monogamous I felt I was under the impression that you only talk to me through the walls but it seems like you got you got some other wall talking friends the Dory I'm just messing with you enjoy I'm actually I'm filming at the moment I'm making a blog something that I couldn't help but notice at this point was the ominous feeling given off by what should be such a light-hearted scene in that one minute of footage Katie has successfully passed herself off as a mysterious eerie figure and it was done in a way where the audience just can't quite put their finger on why now from here on out there's one thing I want to establish with you guys going into the description of this video as well presents us with yet another hidden link after going to this unlisted upload we can see a second camera angle of the adventure that Ash took in her vlog this is strangely reminiscent of someone watching or following her so the first two uploads on her channel contain links to secret videos that are very very strange if Ashe were the only one running this channel why would she place these there is there someone else with access either this account is completely run by some creep that's capture - or somehow this person has taken her account away from her after she initially launched her channel just for vlogs let's move on the third video on her channel is a super short one with no description video it basically shows her saying how the baby keeps crying and that she can't sleep really not much more than that jumping ahead to the one titled my most interesting day were greeted with an admittedly pretty funny opening sequence to her video as she's joined by a very special guest the rest of this video doesn't come with much story substance the only thing this upload really establishes is that she works in a call center and hates it other than that it's all ordinary vlogging shenanigans the description video on this one shows what we can assume as the stalker filming inside of his car while numbers are being read aloud in the background after decrypting them they translate to the very familiar words claim to fame that we heard back in episode 1 [Music] from this point the next video in our lineup presents us with an interesting plot development this is where we begin to see the two story lines that we've established Ash's vlogs and the stalker videos begin to merge together into one the uploading question is one that's titled strange car guy outside is this content being just 42 seconds long it would be better if I just showed it to you rather than drag the Sun take a look yeah what is he doing I don't wanna go back to sleep because this was just guys sitting here looking in like why he's doing finally okay Jesus Christ look at the time guys five in the fucking morning we Dead's my kill me so this guy sat out there for over three hours interesting let's press on the next video in the lineup isn't very even full either in this one she simply makes some beats and not much out of the ordinary seems to happen it doesn't have a description video either so let's jump ahead to the drawing vlog since there's one point that I want to make about it at this point we've established that ash is being stalked by someone and in the car guy episode she finally sees this person's vehicle no matter how serious she's taking it in series she is definitely aware that someone might be doing something sketchy however she's allowing this quote car guy the benefit of the doubt anyway in this one she presents us with an innocent animation about a guy named SHM Alex from work that drinks out of her coffee cup no big deal afterwards though she makes a quick point about various calls that she's been receiving at work with nothing but complete silence on the other line the rest of the day was pretty boring the only thing was that I got like six calls voiced calls with people just call my mobile and just say nothing for minutes on end it was bizarre honestly I'm so sick of it there by the end of it I just ended up quitting to see the description video from this one is where the concept of time begins to be put into question here you can see the camera filming inside of a very very dark room with what undoubtedly sounds like Ash's videos playing in the background [Music] Asha's vlogging time remember this wool reference back to it shortly regarding the next upload collab announcement I want to make a quick point remember raka remember how I said he was scheduled to collab with ash however she never showed up I'm about 99.9% convinced that this is the collaboration that she's referring to here big video but I wanted to let you know that I've been talking to this content creator and I'm hopefully gonna be doing fingers crossed a little collab with them in the next couple of days and I'm really really excited and I just wanted to make this vid to let you know because I just Conway hopefully it's gonna be really cool um yes stay tuned I guess yeah speak soon guys bye so according to rageh Rekha she never followed up on this but why Ash's guide to failing is the next video in the lineup and rather than me explaining the point I want to make to you with this I'm just going to show you all the best things in the world hey guys the description video from two uploads back is playing the exact same audio from this one made later on now this presents us with two options either everything on this channel has been pre-recorded in the past and is being released in pieces or these uploads are entirely out of order aside from the first couple of episodes it's pretty hard to establish any sort of direct timeline other than by chronological upload order so this kind of throws everything up in a limbo is ash currently being held captive by car guy and if so is he releasing videos that are saved to a laptop after all in the very first description video we saw a laptop on the youtubes upload page what if this is what's happening and he's behind the entire channel itself just some food for thought up next is a video about Ash getting a new microphone really not much out of the ordinary happens here what I want to show you though is the description video for this one in it we can see our presumed car guy wrapping up a box to ship out the item in this box will be important later so let's keep an eye out for when that time comes the next two videos fake plastic laundromat and you're the best fans don't contain much other than typical vlog style content ash play some music with a friend at a laundromat and thanks her fans in the video following it the one titled ferris ain't got nothing on Ash is a longer one that I'd like to dig into next in it at the start we can see ash with her friends as they explore Museum shortly after this bit it cuts to a scene with her camera shy brother before we get to the typical ash sitting in front of the camera formats and we've grown accustomed to here she makes another reference to car guy explaining that he's back in the middle of the night but he's been doing it again and he's done it quite a few times I actually have exclusive footage of his face so if any of you guys know this face here tell him to park somewhere else there are plenty of good parks elsewhere out not outside my bedroom please tell us motherfuckin of parks and where else anywhere else the next thing I want to look at here is the description video for this one this is when it starts to become explicitly strange in this we don't have much for visuals however in the background we can hear a girl screaming [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] you now this could be ash her friend al or Katie and you'll understand what I mean by that shortly nonetheless this is when the story really begins to hit the fan the girl named Al that I just mentioned is seen in the opening shot of the next video the worst uber driver ever and in this she can be seen with ash as they're walking down a street supposedly waiting on their uber after the car arrives it turns out that it's actually their friend Jordan and they all then proceeded to make one of those hand lirik music videos before heading to the movies and spending some quality time together jumping to the end of this video ash makes it back home and tells the audience that she was greeted with a package at her door with a strange symbol on it let's take a look I don't know if this was something accidentally sent to me or if it's like a friend playing a prank but um it's super weird so I thought we did investigate together you want to join me on the journey let's do this all right a little creeped out to be honest to do it and I called up Alan she is super curious too she's agreed to come with me and my scaredy-cat ass to get some like little connections and plugs and everything that's needed to actually look and find out what's on this so we're all gonna find out together so this is very clearly the same package that was sent out by car guy in the description video from earlier and the harddrive contained within it will be revealed in the next upload titled C - FX e before we get to that though let's look at the description video for this one here we can see car guy in a point of view perspective as he's driving around at night with dashes videos playing in the background at the very in though we can listen in on a phone call that he's having with another guy that sounds strikingly similar to Jordan the uber driver friend from the main video notice how the video title here is our IP 1 star this is vital and a direct reference to ash harping on her quotes bad uber driver Jordan and the main upload and will be key to making sense of what happens later so keep this in mind alright now on to the video that I know you've all been waiting for if you've seen this series before if this is your first exposure to the world of ash blogs then allow me to go forth and say that this point right here is when the mainland series begins to devolve and break all sense of normalcy any sense of ordinary happy vlog time in the main series of videos stops right here as things really begin to ramp up so C to F dot exe here alan ash can be seen at her apartment together in this the pair proceeded to plug in the hard drive and open up the only file contained on it being c to f dot exe we can see that this has the same symbol that we've been seeing from Rekha's videos and the box that the drive was mailed in anyway they open the file up and this happens yeah let's do this let's get this watched loading okay loading loading no excitement hold on to me go you afterwards what we can assume is car guy or one of his friends drives up to the apartment window and it seems that the to call the cops for help since whoever had just rolled up to the apartment is clearly not welcome there honestly it's hard to make out the dialog since the soundtrack begins to fade in it has copyrighted music so I can't show it here and I apologize you'd have to go over there and watch it in its entirety to get the full effect basically music is playing in the background and you can hear the girls saying go away in - fuck off - whoever this person is the takeaway from this video with the soundtrack makes it evident and solidifies the point that car guy is definitely one of the ones editing the videos from here on out whether they were doing so prior is unclear however from this point forward it's all them it would make absolutely no sense for ash to edit music on top of such a chaotic scene much less upload the video to her own channel alright so description video boy take a look [Music] [Music] on my initial binge through this series I had made the conclusion that this is Ash and that she's been captured and tied up in the shed however with the next two uploads on the main channel it's sorted through that hypothesis at the window for me so this is where the timeline begins to get all out of whack before we continue I want to bring something to your attention since it directly ties into what's happening in the final two main channel uploads remember at the very beginning of this video when I mentioned something called this is Kate well that's because there's another channel tied into the lore of this series with that name in the profile' photo of it we can see a picture of a woman that appears to have been beaten whether this is Katie the neighbour or a different Kate that was captured entirely is unclear however the uploads on this channel are vital to the ending of this as they all seem to happen in a weird intermixed chronological order for ease of clarity I'm going to present the final saga in the mainline series in order of major events so we're going to be hopping back and forth between this is Kate the final description videos and the main uploads from here on out needless to say shit really hits the fan here so buckle down [Music] okay from the top and the upload titled where are you on the ash vlogs channel we can see a person locked up in a shed the reason why I said I didn't believe a Sh was the one being chased from the description video prior was because of this scene right here remember our IP one star yeah I'm nearly convinced that this is him Jordan was probably lured out to being captured by either the car guy or someone else in his little cult and is being used to get more information about Ashe in order to capture her now with that in mind Ashe at this point in time is free does that mean that in the very first description video that was uploaded to YouTube with the person trapped in the abandoned structure isn't her or is this a flashback oh god the story boggles my mind anyway Jordan is captured here and at the end of this video you can hear him frantically screaming before it ends the description video on this titled bad drip show somebody in a car driving at night during the latter half of this upload it becomes clear that this is car guy stalking a new victim so what I'm thinking is that this was a failed attempt at capturing someone related to Jordan in some way nearly leading to this stalker being caught and beaten up by this group of guys notice how this one has a double description video we'll get to that in a second in a fit of rage I believe car guy went back to Jordan in this video here which conveniently is an out of order description video from the upload prior to the one where Jordan made the phone call in this we can see car guy enter the shed with the shotgun before pulling the trigger now back to the double description video I just mentioned we can see the camera filming what looks like someone being bailed out of a hospital what the hell is this going over to Kate's Channel we can get our answer in an upload titled a friendly conversation we can see a first-person perspective of either car guy or one of his peers sitting down in front of someone on a subway now I can't show it here but afterwards he gets up and stabs this person before jumping off of the subway quickly in another upload on this channel called I like it when they crawl we can see someone limping around this is what I'm considering the direct sequel to the previous video on this channel however I'm not quite sure who this guy is or why he was targeted the only correlation I can make here is that he was probably one of the guys in the car that tried to jump car guy back in bad grip when he was trying to stalk them alright guys as if this video couldn't get any more complicated so I'm literally sitting here editing this video right and I'm going back and watching it through cuz I just finished editing completely now when watching it back I noticed something this isn't some random guy being targeted this is Ash's brother way back from that Ferris ain't got nothing on Ashe video that I mentioned prior I just wanted to jump in here real quick and clarify that anyway jumping back to Ashe vlogs in the second-to-last video titled face reveal we can hear a nun one one call about a guy who's bleeding pretty badly [Music] [Applause] ironically in this one whoever is filming is still on the subway so either car guy or one of his friends jumped on to another subway and tapped into the phone call or this is a recording like I said a lot of what's going on here is unclear and all out of order so it was really hard to make logical sense out of where the hell this series decided to head holy shit and then my friends is where the mainline saga draws to a close wait I'm missing something aren't I so conveniently right after I finished recording and editing my audio about this channel they go right on ahead and decide to upload yet another set of videos perfect timing all right so let's take a look at these before we wrap this up so from the top here new upload titled you are not afraid to die shows a man seemingly being held hostage inside of a room with a very very dirty sink he's being monitored which is evident by the time lapses that occurred throughout the video one big question that arose with me with this upload was the identity of this man I did a side-by-side of this guy with Jordan from the uber video and it didn't seem to match up potentially this could be one of the guys who almost jumped car guy back in bad rip other than that unfortunately we don't have much to go off of here we have double description videos once again one uploaded to YouTube and one uploaded a video the Vimeo video takes us to a camera shot inside of a shed with the Colt logo painted on the back wall two men then enter the shot with a body bag and proceeded to pour gasoline all over it as a girl very very reminiscent of how ash sounds is screaming for dear life at the end and I can't show it here the two men set the body bag on fire leaving us to assume that potentially at this point Ash could be dead this is yet another instance of double description videos taking place following this link will take us to the video titled he's waiting for you in the dirt conveniently this is the youtube link that was in the main channel upload you are not afraid to die so don't worry we aren't going down an endless rabbit hole of description vids anyway in this one we can see one of the cult members drive out to the woods and bury a plastic bag of something what that something is exactly is unclear it could be a wallet or hard drive or even body parts who knows it's just really hard to make it out with the shot that we're given the link here takes us to their Instagram and like I said before this arg has many many different mediums to explore over various different social media accounts this being one of them now I want to pivot back to that burning video from Vimeo you see a lot of things have remained unclear when pressing through the series ash mentions car guy as one singular person however way way back at the beginning of this video when I walked you through the Rack Arrakis situation we saw multiple people walk away from the tent not just one and in that burning video there were two guys involved in this this leads me to believe that the penultimate video and the one prior on the main channel and he'll even some of those description videos are probably viewpoints from other members of the cult car guy is not one single person but a group of people that have set out to capture torment and kill various members of their community and they're thriving off of it this leaves one strikingly obvious question to remain was that Ash being burned is she free is she in captivity hell is she working with the cult so many questions remain for me so this video would be five hours long if I drove into every single upload on the Cate channel the I know where she has reddit accounts and the multitude of other social media accounts it's just not humanly possible for me to do so so I apologize I will go forth and tell you that there is a snapchat accounts and multiple instagrams aside from the one that we were given so if you're interested in solving puzzles and finding more clues about what the hell is going on here then definitely go check them out apparently they update their stuff quite frequently anyway guys my head's about to explode so I'm going to wrap up the saga of ash vlogs here like I said this is an Arg and my god it's a damn good one the multiple channels various mediums to decrypt and the multi-layered experience that devolves from an innocent vlog channel to this murderous mess as an absolute gem in immersive media and I highly highly recommend that you go over to the channel and do some exploring yourself I'll definitely have my eye on Ash flogs this year and if any more major plot points arise then I'll do my best to whip up an update video for you all but until then I'd like to thank you for joining me in this exploration down the ash vlogs rabbit hole I sincerely hope you enjoyed this as much as I did while making it any way to close I'll see you in the next one I love you all and good night [Music] you [Music]

Oh man... I'm very well versed in the Ash Vlogs saga, but it still makes my head spin with how deep and off the rails it has become. Looking forward to watching this!

Everything there's a new Nexpo notification, I almost jump of my chair of happiness, hahaha! I've only watched a couple of AshVlogs videos months ago (around the time of the ReignBot upload), so I can't wait for dawn to watch this!
