OMG OMG OMG!!! Thanksss! I invite everyone to watch my other videos and series, which are not analog horror but rather a different kind of strange and scary stories.
This reminds me of that visual novel "Saya no Uta" where the main character experienced a traumatic accident which changed his whole perception of the world. He sees things normal people don’t see (and also fall in love with an alien monster which he perceives as a beautiful girl because of his warped sense of reality).
I think the real is easier to understand than you think. The real is incomprehensible and so our brains have to make it make sense so they look like normal things. The more traumatized you are, the better you can tell the real apart. And it appears that the real is something that is dangerous just by observing it. I’m wondering if the real is a metaphor for trauma itself.
I think its like how traumatized people associate certain things with their traumatic experiences and so they never get to look at those things the same again. People without trauma see it as normal and mundane but those with trauma wouldnt be able to. Just a guess though
Here the answer is more or less straightforward. The real is triggered by individual or collective traumatic experiences that break the fabric of 'common reality,' and thus, these entities that 'violate the laws of visible reality' emerge.
This is super neat! Existential horror at its finest, as it’s something that’s not really *supposed* to be understood. The way i perceive it, the Real isn’t breaking in… it’s always there, overlaying our reality. It’s there, we’re just too blind to see it and they’re too blind to see us. Only in moments of clarity do we lock eyes and does reality fall apart
Exactly! It's difficult to grasp because that's also the idea. It's a horror regarding something that, even when examined in an instructive manner, cannot be fully understood. Nonetheless, it's everywhere, and the real can emerge when least expected.
As someone who's studied philosophy as part of a broader curriculum, I like how this is like a horror movie interpretation of what it's like to study some of the more out there postmodern theorists from the standpoint of an undergrad
From what I can tell, the appearance of "the Real" will vary based on one's cognition. It might explain why experiencing a lot of trauma can allow people to perceive the Real in someway, as said trauma has altered their cognition, affecting the way they perceive reality and by extension revealing the Real. This is mega confusing though, so I might be wrong, lol.
I found it as the world that we know and "master" is understood by symbols and languages. Hence the dog and love, we can understand that by symbols and languages. Yet the Real has a deeper connection to reality. It confronts us with things we can't understand, death. We can not simply understand death with our symbols and languages. The Real is shown as the real understanding of existence. Something that we can not comprehend.
It is normal for the real to be complex; this was extensively studied by Jacques Lacan, the author exists. It is a challenging concept in psychoanalysis. However, yes, in a certain way, it appears when something traumatic emerges in the world, whether collectively or personally. And so, some people may have contact with this to a greater or lesser extent.
Lacan was btw a real psychoanalist and he did develop „the real“ as part of the three orders (the other two being the imaginary and the symbolic). The real is, according to lacan, a cause for anxiety because it cannot be imagined and lies outside of language. Basically, he says that the symbolic are the signifiers (any material thing, e.g a tree or a dog) and because these signifiers are assigned a connotation (a meaning) they are arbitrary. Whereas „the real“ is not subject to this, meaning it’s always in its place. Basically, I *think* what’s happening here is that certain people can look past this layer of material thing + meaning assigned by humans and see the object for what it REALLY is - „the real“ (which is usually inaccessible)
Ha ha I am the slay queen. You slay your videos so much and I'm surprised you don't get nightmares if you do you 😁 do I respect. 😉1:16 that's a bit scary bedroom/staircase. I don't think I want to live there no more.😅
If you think hard enough this can happen in real life, It’s like a optical illusion. One person can see something another could see something else. I like this analog horror already 😁
@@Pretentiouslizardyeah sleep deprivation is no joke, once my mother was so sleep deprived that she thought we had a full 5 minute conversation even though we didn't and she ended up getting angry at me saying I was gaslighting her because I said we didn't have that conversation, it's not good.
It could be like the same deal with The Mist in the Percy Jackson series, the mist makes mythical beings and events look like things that normal people see as realistic, however some people have the ability to see through the mist
somewhat. the mist in percy jackson is more tied to one being a demigod or not (which you either are or you aren’t), while access to the real is determined by one’s trauma, which suggests that one could gain access to the real if they become traumatized. they do work kinda similarly tho, so i would say you’re on the right track lol
Probably the most entertaining things in these videos are when Marcus focuses so hard to get everything right that he immediately forgets what someone JUST said
If I had to break down how "the real" could be interpreted, it's basically a dimension that is a polarizing & abstract version of our reality, in which whenever it bleeds into ours, might as well behave like Lovecraftian style SCPs
This seems like the horror equivalent of the question "What if my red is actually your green?" Except taken to the extreme and even concerning IDENTITIES!
Oh wow, the second video is kinda spine chilling. My own imagination did make it look like that face; I could see the bulging eyes and what I perceived as a gaping mouth at the bottom there. I think there’s something really cool here, and I like how even when it answers one question you’re given three more questions in its place haha, makes the viewer inclined to keep watching! Thanks for sharing this series
As someone who has 2 mannequins in their living room, i am no longer going outside my room. Thanks Marcus, very cool Edit: There is another. I don't know which one is which, I don't know which one is real. I'm scared.
1) I did see the chair. 2) honestly the first time I came upon the real, I was almost inclined to believe it was true. I of course have not seen the government warning, nor am I from this timeframe, but I am quite spiritual, and the story of the real matches up almost perfectly with my understanding of the universe. That knowledge is terrifying. Analog horror is special to me because i actually believe things like this DO happen, and honestly I love getting a sense of absolute terror when its realistic and my brain goes "what if this is real"
This guy deserves a LOT more recognition. I saw him on tiktok and I started following him on youtube and stuff he is super talanted you should do more videos on his work.
dude, you are killing it. i like how you come to the point with your thoughts and opinions rather quickly, without interpreting to much into it. you got my sub. great channel and work. keep it up man and greetings from germany.
The explanation of the Real is kind of like how I do my anthropology research as a highly neurodivergent person. Like strip everything of meaning and interpretation to find what is, then take the subjective perceived realities of people and of their culture, piece those together and use the juxtaposition of the real and perceived to see how identity and meaning are shaped and how in turn they shape our actions and understanding of the "self", "culture", and what "is". Its like anthropology beyond the human to understand the human, absence defines what is, and what is shapes what is absent. It is a frightening thing sometimes, as the unsubjective real is so full of absence, uncertainty, devastating and endless existential trauma, and humans aren't the best at just accepting it for what it is, and that's why we give it meaning and map our own perspectives onto it. When I write it down it sounds like insanity, but I mean I'm getting good peer reviews on research papers so I'm not exactly crazy. Lol
I think what could also be implied is that our brains can't make sense of such horrifying concepts/reality and therefore our minds protect themselves (sorta) by filling in the gaps with things we CAN grasp in order to safely make observations.
I find it interesting that the concept of a horror beyond understanding like cosmic horror is so hard to gather for you when it's a pretty common concept in horror media
I think the "Real" is quantum. It exists in two different states, like Schrödinger's cat. It exists in multiple states depending on the observer. Mental disorders affect the perception of reality, allowing the observer to see states that do not align with the perceived reality. More active beings that exist in this quantum overlay of reality possesses humanlike objects because, due to the perception of others viewing it as "human" and expecting it to interact because it looks "human", it makes it easier to move and interact with our current reality. In an effort to establish itself in our current reality, it manipulates objects around them, therefore changing the identification card and alerting others to the change. But it does not always work, because different observers see different things. It cannot possess a human or other living beings, because humans or other living beings already have a conscious and perceived existence.
hey found your videos a few weeks ago and just wanted to let you know how fun it is to watch this scary stuff with another person. Love your videos keep it up.
I could be missing something, but it sounds like The Real doesn't have a mind of its own. I'm saying it could be a hivemind or like the necromorphs from Dead Space. The reason why I say this is because The Mannequin didn't protect itself when it was being picked apart by those scientists, & the apple didn't attack the 4th prisoner in Kaczmarek's report. Yes, the 4th prisoner was attacked by another person because he assumed that the guy was a cannibal, but The Real didn't attack him for eating it. Like I said I think that these creatures are like a hivemind, or they're similar to the necromorphs from Dead Space. The necromorphs themselves don't have minds of their own they're controlled by The Brother Moons. So maybe The Real is like that too. It just really confused me to find out that people were picking these creatures apart & even eating them but didn't get hurt in the process. Or maybe The Real intentionally let that happen, for whatever reason.
The real is, indeed, according to Lacan's theory (who is a genuine author), one of the three orders of life/existence/everything, but as we cannot fully comprehend it, except through traumatic experiences that disrupt the balance between the three orders, it appears to us as things that break our everydayness in many ways, from a wooden cube that is not what it seems to be, to 'something' that attacks you.
@@4.n0m4ly_ Didn’t expect the creator of this story to see my comment much less reply to it LOL. But it sounds like I’m going to have to do some research into Lacan to understand what’s going on. 😅 Because I’m still lost, but it’s a very interesting story you’ve made & I would love to see more of it. 👍
Basically, the way I interpret the research of the ‘real’ and it’s perception is that the child example has probably not experienced a lot of wooden cubes and so has no solid understanding of what one is so the mind does not try to ‘cover up’ the ‘real’ cube, so I think is that it means you can perceive the ‘real’ if you have not got a solid understanding of what you’re looking at and so the mind can’t cover it up. Those are my thoughts at least anyway!
Indeed, the real intrudes into everyday experience, even in children, because they have not yet fully 'symbolized' the world. As a result, these gaps that are not yet filled by life can appear.
That helps with the mannequin aspect bc of their relationship to the uncanny valley. Pictures of humans remind of how some people look different it photos than they do in real life. Some people are photogenic but not attractive in person or vice versa . Im curious as to the time of day restrictions the one Video mentioned. Said do not view between 5pm and midnight or if you are tired. Is it bc your brain is fatigued and you aren’t as sharp to pick up on what’s real or not. Just curious. I understand the subjective symbolic reality stuff bc it’s in all my textbooks and that’s been my personal opinion before I even knew what it was called. This one is interesting and did remind me of some of the ideas mentioned in Bird Box Barcelona, so I am looking forward to it.
The mannequin: *silently staring in the corner* Me sitting on my couch chewing on the previous home intruder’s severed leg: “um, excuse me-what the actual f!ck are you doing in my house?”
it don't think it's trying to look like something else, it's that we're unable to perceive them as what they really are, so our minds are perceiving them as something they would normally recognize, some people perceive the entity as something like a chair, someone else might perceive them as a dresser etc, but the rare few might perceive them as what they really are
3:16 One thing I know for sure is that I’m being imprisoned. I am NOT burning the photos of my Babushka. 3:33 Wait, that’s a contradiction, how am I supposed to be identified if I don’t have a photo of me? This government is confusing… but this analogue horror is very nice, you too Marcus. 3:37 Exactly! 5:48 French! Yay! BTW, Jacques Lacan is a real dude, and is considered the most controversial psychologist since Freud. 18:44 welp, guess I can’t watch this 🤷 22:17 I love this ARG, it hits so close to home 😂 25:58 I think it’s pronounced Ka-ch-marek. ‘Ch’ as in ‘chalk’, but I might be wrong since I’m still learning Polish.
As someone who speaks polish, the way you pronounced Kaczmarek is the single time when someone butchered a polish name so badly it made me want to comment. Here is your medal

Yo Marcus, Your videos make my day and night sometimes, i really enjoy your videos and they help me through stuff whether that be social problems or my homework and studying time they are really good! Keep on creating man!
EmortalMarcus never fails to tear me apart limb by limb as I scream in excruciating pain while my consciousness slowly fades away. Edit: why every time I comment something like this on any video i get so many likes and comments ☠☠☠☠☠
20:18 I saw the chair AND a face. I'm screwed, aren't I? I see the 'Real' as kind of like the Warp from Warhammer / Warhammer 40K. A realm of pure energy and chaos shaped by the thoughts and feelings of beings existing in the physical reality. Sometimes it bleeds through a bit, causing strange phenomena to occur. This isn't necessarily bad by itself. The bad things happen when one (or more) of the many beings residing there actually notices the opening and decides to pay reality a visit and start wrecking everybody's sh*t until they either run out of the energy needed to manifest physically, or the Inquisition shows up to put the thing down and then murder anybody who actually saw it and survived.
This guy seems to have a lot more videos that aren't part of "The Real" playlist -- and at the very least, the M'hroj ones have some *startling similarities* to what you see in these. In particular, the silhouettes of the monsters that came from the mannequins, collections of corpses with badly distorted or tumorous heads, and weird metaphysical stuff. Might want to scan through the rest of the guy's channel and decide if there's any overlap.
It's like that one question "what if we all see different colors?". It's probably not true but it brings up the fact that we only experience reality through our limited senses. Even watching this video, I'm only able to see part of it. There's probably a bunch of other wavelengths of light coming from it that I'm just not built to see, or something else entirely that I don't have an organ to sense it with.
7:36 from my understanding “the real” is what the universe and all of reality actually is, chaotic ever changing nothingness. But us as humans can only understand something that actually exists. So if we discover “the real” we will create monsters of our own design that shouldn’t exist in the first place
Hell yeah, a horror series based on the subjectivity of our perspectives of reality, that's some good philosophical, existential and very physically present horror that you can't even really fight against or fully understand. What a cool idea Also that mirror video was especially creepy, the chair I saw was a bit taller than the drawing but the fact that I saw a chair with rounded legs at all was pretty freaky, even if it was just chance or an effect of just watching this on my phone.
@@guardianhero6124 Um, actually 🤓☝️ only around 15% of individuals with blindness have complete blindness and cannot see color, shapes, or light. The other 85% have varying degrees of sight, often with a large "dead spot" localized to one part of their visual field. Thus, they could in fact find a video, click on it, and listen, especially if they have assistance from another person or Text-to-Speech on their device. ...But, yeah, they were probably just trying to be funny.
25:58, This is a great video and series, but I wanted to point out that Piotr Kaczmarek is pronounced Pio-tr (Which is the polish version of Peter) Ka-ch-ma-rek. I'm polish, so I like pointing this stuff out, this is in no way hate. Love your videos and keep up the great work Marcus!!!
In the mirror, the face fades in and out of the background along with a eye at around 19:35 or so, a second face also fades in near the end on the right most side of it near the top, the chair is also just sitting in the background, its one of the only things that have a highlight along with what seems to be a lamp.
OMG out of all the analog horror reaction videos you made this one actually scares me mainly because instead of just creepy audio and images you can barely see but they have vudeos with clear imagery
19:39 i saw a shape that looked like a dark figure with a smile on its face i also saw a chair but it looked a bit different than what it was described as
The real cognizance really rings with silent hill for me, normal looking people could be monsters to someone else and vice versa, what james or heather see can look like normal people to the others, and maria or any of the others can look like grotesque abominations
this analog horror just makes the whole "the Real" thing almost take a place in my mind that I never thought would exist. This is such a cool Idea that I also think almost goes along with the story of "Greylock", another one of my favorites so this is a nice refreshing experience to have another favorite So thank you!
It was a good idea to watch this at work.. In the warehouse of a clothing store.. Where there are old mannequins.. As if I wasn't scared enough of them 🤣
Hey Marcus, firstly I wanna say I love your videos and I watch most of them when I have the time. I just wanted to say I love the videos and I do like this genre of stuff you do, just that I hope you stack some more horror games in the future. Nothing against this type of content ya know I just miss the games sometimes. But keep up the great work, you're one of my favorite TH-camrs and you inspire me a lot.
I find it to be cruel irony that this thing is called "the real". But a lot of the videos talk about trying to tell the difference between The Real and what's Real. And the fact that its perceived differently from person to person makes it WAYYYY more scary (like the guy with the apple).
In the mirror part i saw a face on the more upper right side of the mirror.I also saw it smiling and for some reason i felt terror,i freezed in place,and felt like something was watching me through the screen.
PETOR KAZMAREK XD You said the last name pretty well but "cz" is said like "ch" in chocolate. I don't know how to explain the name tho. I love when someone tries to read polish names
i think not only trauma can affect seeing the real, but also the mental age of the person. at one point in video 2 it’s mentioned that exercising the highest form of mental abstraction can be helpful in seeing the real. children see the world much differently than adults, often being able to visualize and interpret things in bizarre ways. it’s possible that when the child saw the wooden cube they saw the ‘real’ version of it, not because they may have gone through extreme trauma (though that’s possible) but because of the child’s ability to understand the abstract concept of the real cubes true form
I think what is happening here is that the human eyes and mental capacity cannot comprehend what the "real" contains of, so You see something you've already comprehended, and that your mind can handle, because something has to fill in that spot of what the thing is, to make it make sense. Your mind shoves it into some random category, like a pigeon, to fill in that empty space. (Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not that far into the video.)
I think "the Real" is inspired by 4D objects entering into a 3D space. Perception is greatly subjective as multiple interpretations of them can be gathered but none can see the full scope of the object as 3D viewers can't see the 4th dimension and beyond. Ramiel from Evangelion Reboot is the first thing I've come to mind, ever-changing forms and shapes yet none can tell his true form.
OMG OMG OMG!!! Thanksss! I invite everyone to watch my other videos and series, which are not analog horror but rather a different kind of strange and scary stories.

18:19 I love how they have a percent occurrence for “unpredictable events” between specific times. Sounds like they’re *a little* predictable, no?
Thanks, now my fear of mannequins has become worse! 😀

I think the "Real" is quantum. It exists in two different states, like Schrödinger's cat. It exists in multiple states depending on the observer. Mental disorders affect the perception of reality, allowing the observer to see states that do not align with the perceived reality. More active beings that exist in this quantum overlay of reality possesses humanlike objects because, due to the perception of others viewing it as "human" and expecting it to interact because it looks "human", it makes it easier to move and interact with our current reality. In an effort to establish itself in our current reality, it manipulates objects around them, therefore changing the identification card and alerting others to the change. But it does not always work, because different observers see different things. It cannot possess a human or other living beings, because humans or other living beings already have a conscious and perceived existence.
Yeah, that actually makes a lot sense
hey found your videos a few weeks ago and just wanted to let you know how fun it is to watch this scary stuff with another person. Love your videos keep it up.
I could be missing something, but it sounds like The Real doesn't have a mind of its own. I'm saying it could be a hivemind or like the necromorphs from Dead Space. The reason why I say this is because The Mannequin didn't protect itself when it was being picked apart by those scientists, & the apple didn't attack the 4th prisoner in Kaczmarek's report. Yes, the 4th prisoner was attacked by another person because he assumed that the guy was a cannibal, but The Real didn't attack him for eating it. Like I said I think that these creatures are like a hivemind, or they're similar to the necromorphs from Dead Space. The necromorphs themselves don't have minds of their own they're controlled by The Brother Moons. So maybe The Real is like that too. It just really confused me to find out that people were picking these creatures apart & even eating them but didn't get hurt in the process. Or maybe The Real intentionally let that happen, for whatever reason.
The real is, indeed, according to Lacan's theory (who is a genuine author), one of the three orders of life/existence/everything, but as we cannot fully comprehend it, except through traumatic experiences that disrupt the balance between the three orders, it appears to us as things that break our everydayness in many ways, from a wooden cube that is not what it seems to be, to 'something' that attacks you.

Didn’t expect the creator of this story to see my comment much less reply to it LOL. But it sounds like I’m going to have to do some research into Lacan to understand what’s going on. 😅 Because I’m still lost, but it’s a very interesting story you’ve made & I would love to see more of it. 👍
Basically, the way I interpret the research of the ‘real’ and it’s perception is that the child example has probably not experienced a lot of wooden cubes and so has no solid understanding of what one is so the mind does not try to ‘cover up’ the ‘real’ cube, so I think is that it means you can perceive the ‘real’ if you have not got a solid understanding of what you’re looking at and so the mind can’t cover it up.
Those are my thoughts at least anyway!
Indeed, the real intrudes into everyday experience, even in children, because they have not yet fully 'symbolized' the world. As a result, these gaps that are not yet filled by life can appear.
That helps with the mannequin aspect bc of their relationship to the uncanny valley. Pictures of humans remind of how some people look different it photos than they do in real life. Some people are photogenic but not attractive in person or vice versa . Im curious as to the time of day restrictions the one Video mentioned. Said do not view between 5pm and midnight or if you are tired. Is it bc your brain is fatigued and you aren’t as sharp to pick up on what’s real or not. Just curious. I understand the subjective symbolic reality stuff bc it’s in all my textbooks and that’s been my personal opinion before I even knew what it was called. This one is interesting and did remind me of some of the ideas mentioned in Bird Box Barcelona, so I am looking forward to it.
The mannequin: *silently staring in the corner*
Me sitting on my couch chewing on the previous home intruder’s severed leg: “um, excuse me-what the actual f!ck are you doing in my house?”
it don't think it's trying to look like something else, it's that we're unable to perceive them as what they really are, so our minds are perceiving them as something they would normally recognize, some people perceive the entity as something like a chair, someone else might perceive them as a dresser etc, but the rare few might perceive them as what they really are
this series is so well made and also just terrifying
Just made my day better thanks Marcus!
I am in the 7% of people who were never seen again. By the way, I really like your video editing style, I know how much work it requires good job!
Are you typing this in heaven or in the dimension the creatures came from?
@@N_the_dron Thats business secret, sorry.
@@N_the_dronI am also one of this who were never seen again. I just moved to Florida, no one recognizes me now
lol I saw a chair
I really liked the video! It’s really interesting diving into a smaller newer series. Keep up the good work!!
3:16 One thing I know for sure is that I’m being imprisoned. I am NOT burning the photos of my Babushka.
3:33 Wait, that’s a contradiction, how am I supposed to be identified if I don’t have a photo of me? This government is confusing… but this analogue horror is very nice, you too Marcus.
3:37 Exactly!
5:48 French! Yay! BTW, Jacques Lacan is a real dude, and is considered the most controversial psychologist since Freud.
18:44 welp, guess I can’t watch this 🤷
22:17 I love this ARG, it hits so close to home 😂
25:58 I think it’s pronounced Ka-ch-marek. ‘Ch’ as in ‘chalk’, but I might be wrong since I’m still learning Polish.
Love the vid’s you always put a smile on my face ❤
as somebody that is half blind i see this as a absolute win
Never thought that my studies in Lacan would be in itself turned into a horror series.
As someone who hates and is scared a mannequins I see this as a absolute win
As someone who speaks polish, the way you pronounced Kaczmarek is the single time when someone butchered a polish name so badly it made me want to comment. Here is your medal
Alr then 💀
im curious how do u pronounce it?
@@floseatyard8063 I dont really know how to explain it. You should just go on google translator, insert the name and use the voice feature. Its preety faithfull to a native tounge.
@@floseatyard8063 kinda hard to explain, you obviously use Google translate just to hear this word, but all i can say, he was kinda close to saying it right
Yo Marcus, Your videos make my day and night sometimes, i really enjoy your videos and they help me through stuff whether that be social problems or my homework and studying time they are really good! Keep on creating man!
you know its good when its over 30 minutes long.
I love it when he says “hello gorgeous people” it makes me confident
EmortalMarcus never fails to tear me apart limb by limb as I scream in excruciating pain while my consciousness slowly fades away.
Edit: why every time I comment something like this on any video i get so many likes and comments
☠☠☠☠☠
This is my favorite comment-
😨
This has to be high praise bruh
Cuteness Overload!!
das crazy bruh
20:18 I saw the chair AND a face. I'm screwed, aren't I?
I see the 'Real' as kind of like the Warp from Warhammer / Warhammer 40K. A realm of pure energy and chaos shaped by the thoughts and feelings of beings existing in the physical reality. Sometimes it bleeds through a bit, causing strange phenomena to occur. This isn't necessarily bad by itself. The bad things happen when one (or more) of the many beings residing there actually notices the opening and decides to pay reality a visit and start wrecking everybody's sh*t until they either run out of the energy needed to manifest physically, or the Inquisition shows up to put the thing down and then murder anybody who actually saw it and survived.
This guy seems to have a lot more videos that aren't part of "The Real" playlist -- and at the very least, the M'hroj ones have some *startling similarities* to what you see in these. In particular, the silhouettes of the monsters that came from the mannequins, collections of corpses with badly distorted or tumorous heads, and weird metaphysical stuff. Might want to scan through the rest of the guy's channel and decide if there's any overlap.
i remember were you had like 5k subs so nice to see how the chanel grows
8:33 “mom i threw up”
This is unironically one of the most creative series ever made
It's like that one question "what if we all see different colors?". It's probably not true but it brings up the fact that we only experience reality through our limited senses. Even watching this video, I'm only able to see part of it. There's probably a bunch of other wavelengths of light coming from it that I'm just not built to see, or something else entirely that I don't have an organ to sense it with.
22:33
“Mom I frew up”
7:36 from my understanding “the real” is what the universe and all of reality actually is, chaotic ever changing nothingness. But us as humans can only understand something that actually exists. So if we discover “the real” we will create monsters of our own design that shouldn’t exist in the first place
i only now realise you made a video about this series
Nice work
Hell yeah, a horror series based on the subjectivity of our perspectives of reality, that's some good philosophical, existential and very physically present horror that you can't even really fight against or fully understand. What a cool idea
Also that mirror video was especially creepy, the chair I saw was a bit taller than the drawing but the fact that I saw a chair with rounded legs at all was pretty freaky, even if it was just chance or an effect of just watching this on my phone.
"That there is a 6 foot tall horror from another plane of reality! Ah'm gonna wrassle him!"
I can't help but think of the Thesterals from Harry Potter.
They're invisible to everybody, except to those that witnessed death.
29:25 "How are you supposed to fight things that only some people can see ?"
Introducing Jujutsu Kaisen
Can't wait for more updates! This sounds like a cool idea
I love these vids man, this is my new fav series! My recent most fav was urbanspook.
as a blind person I see this as a win
...uhm actualy moment.
You couldnt see what the vid is and where it is. Your not blind.
@@guardianhero6124 Um, actually 🤓☝️ only around 15% of individuals with blindness have complete blindness and cannot see color, shapes, or light. The other 85% have varying degrees of sight, often with a large "dead spot" localized to one part of their visual field. Thus, they could in fact find a video, click on it, and listen, especially if they have assistance from another person or Text-to-Speech on their device.
...But, yeah, they were probably just trying to be funny.
Im so glad this shit isnt an everyday problem because this is terrifying
25:58, This is a great video and series, but I wanted to point out that Piotr Kaczmarek is pronounced Pio-tr (Which is the polish version of Peter) Ka-ch-ma-rek. I'm polish, so I like pointing this stuff out, this is in no way hate. Love your videos and keep up the great work Marcus!!!
In the mirror, the face fades in and out of the background along with a eye at around 19:35 or so, a second face also fades in near the end on the right most side of it near the top, the chair is also just sitting in the background, its one of the only things that have a highlight along with what seems to be a lamp.
I love when people have no idea how to read polish names, lol
Yea! Its funny how they just struggle to say it and it sounds funny
OMG out of all the analog horror reaction videos you made this one actually scares me mainly because instead of just creepy audio and images you can barely see but they have vudeos with clear imagery
19:39 i saw a shape that looked like a dark figure with a smile on its face
i also saw a chair but it looked a bit different than what it was described as
“If you look at this mannequin it kills you” *proceeds to put it in thumbnail*
The real cognizance really rings with silent hill for me, normal looking people could be monsters to someone else and vice versa, what james or heather see can look like normal people to the others, and maria or any of the others can look like grotesque abominations
technically, no other human has seen me since I saw that mirror
This series feels like an SCP fanfic but I love it!
If you see a mannequin move, it's already too late
PIOTR KACZMAREK!!!! POLSKA GUROM 💪💪💪💪
🎇🎆
this analog horror just makes the whole "the Real" thing almost take a place in my mind that I never thought would exist. This is such a cool Idea that I also think almost goes along with the story of "Greylock", another one of my favorites so this is a nice refreshing experience to have another favorite So thank you!
It was a good idea to watch this at work.. In the warehouse of a clothing store.. Where there are old mannequins.. As if I wasn't scared enough of them 🤣
Hey Marcus, firstly I wanna say I love your videos and I watch most of them when I have the time. I just wanted to say I love the videos and I do like this genre of stuff you do, just that I hope you stack some more horror games in the future. Nothing against this type of content ya know I just miss the games sometimes. But keep up the great work, you're one of my favorite TH-camrs and you inspire me a lot.
I find it to be cruel irony that this thing is called "the real". But a lot of the videos talk about trying to tell the difference between The Real and what's Real. And the fact that its perceived differently from person to person makes it WAYYYY more scary (like the guy with the apple).
omg i love it when there are multilannguage parts to horror videos (specifically french because i speak english and french)
How old was that child? No kid should be able to draw that well
It's not a drawing made by a child, it's a drawing made by an adult based on the description given by a child of the cube.
In the mirror part i saw a face on the more upper right side of the mirror.I also saw it smiling and for some reason i felt terror,i freezed in place,and felt like something was watching me through the screen.
I don't know if anyone else saw this in the mirror but I felt like I saw a person with a balloon in the mirror
Me when something’s trying to kill me: Nuh uh
I honestly saw a vague mother and a child in the mirror, dunno though.
Not this being set in Toronto, now im way more scared. If i see mannaquins near my place, im booking it
I'm not getting sleep tonight
Good luck👍
Lol how 😂😂😂😂😂
This bring flash backs of the mannequin episode of Supernatural 😭😭😭😭
PETOR KAZMAREK XD You said the last name pretty well but "cz" is said like "ch" in chocolate. I don't know how to explain the name tho. I love when someone tries to read polish names
i think not only trauma can affect seeing the real, but also the mental age of the person. at one point in video 2 it’s mentioned that exercising the highest form of mental abstraction can be helpful in seeing the real.
children see the world much differently than adults, often being able to visualize and interpret things in bizarre ways.
it’s possible that when the child saw the wooden cube they saw the ‘real’ version of it, not because they may have gone through extreme trauma (though that’s possible) but because of the child’s ability to understand the abstract concept of the real cubes true form
I've always wondered about the 'get rid of mirror's thing'. Do reflective surfaces count? Do I have to be careful of a puddle or any glass?
I think what is happening here is that the human eyes and mental capacity cannot comprehend what the "real" contains of, so You see something you've already comprehended, and that your mind can handle, because something has to fill in that spot of what the thing is, to make it make sense. Your mind shoves it into some random category, like a pigeon, to fill in that empty space. (Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not that far into the video.)
I think "the Real" is inspired by 4D objects entering into a 3D space. Perception is greatly subjective as multiple interpretations of them can be gathered but none can see the full scope of the object as 3D viewers can't see the 4th dimension and beyond. Ramiel from Evangelion Reboot is the first thing I've come to mind, ever-changing forms and shapes yet none can tell his true form.
so yeah in simple terms, the real is a walking abstract painting
It could be, it's a good theory 🤔
I studied Lacan for an entire semester in University and honestly, I still find it very hard to grasp- which I get is the entire point haha
