There was a Subnautica early concept for a biome like this. A huge black mass filled with tentacles that would reach up and drag down any fish, submarine, or unfortunate player that gets too close
Glad you brought up the audio being sped up at the end. Had the Black Carpet produced the sound through normal movement rubbing on the seafloor it would lend more credibility to the tale. As a form of theoretical zoology the Black Carpet has believable elements that make it interesting.
The thing that instantly disqualifies the Black Carpet from being the Bloop is that because it lacks the organs, it couldn’t make noise (let alone a noise that could be heard from miles away)
you dont need organs to make sounds. Your farts for example, are made of gas produced by the bacteria in your colon, which dont have organs. If the black carpet is made of multiple unicellular organisms, it could produces gases as part of it´s metabolism, making bubbles that make sound when they explode.
The other thing that instantly disqualifies the Bloop from being, well, any living thing, is that we haven't heard it since. If it were an animal, one can presume it would be making this noise pretty frequently, at least frequently enough for us to have caught it at one of the thousands of oceanic monitoring sights across the oceans, in the time since.
@@bugjams with that reasoning, it wouldnt be an icequake either. the bloop was near point nemo, it isnt a commercial route or something like that. there may not be recordings because there arent many ships recording there
@@nicolassoriano2621 Personally I don't buy ice quake either, I think it must've been a deep fault line or something. Tectonic plates shifting. That would explain the rarity.
Nobody seems to have mentioned that the "Bloop" is not an audible noise. It occurs at a frequency far lower than the absolute minimum that human hearing can detect. The sound that people commonly post as "the Bloop" is drastically sped up and sounds nothing like the actual IRL noise that was recorded, which is again completely inaudible.
@tvdvd8661 Rather I lost interest after the part of the story where he says the diver hears the "bloop" noise because it took me out of the mood too much. Not his fault, just a writing mistake from the original author.
Not to be that guy but "The Bloop" is audible at the its original speed, its just so low frequency that its difficult to make out for human ears. There are recordings of the audio at the original speed, and you can hear them just fine. The audio was sped up to be better heard, not because it was unhearable. That being said, Im sure if someone was out swimming and the sound occurred, they might not even notice and consider it background noise.
@TheOneandOnlyMyst The audible range of the recordings near the origin point are considered noise secondary to the segment acknowledged as the "Bloop". The "Bloop" is specifically defined as occupying a very narrow frequency range that is actually completely inaudible, and only plays in the infrabass range. The detectable sound ends before it reaches the sub bass range.
@tuckvison Oh interesting. Can you explain this further? In the original recordings (the non sped up versions) of the Bloop a deep rumbling sound that causes the mic to peak plays twice during the course of the recording. So are you saying that sound isn't the Bloop? And by extension is the "bloop" sped up to 16x also not the Bloop? I'm kinda confused lol
It's so cool though. Every individual developing into an "organ" of the animal. It's like if your arms, legs, and internal organs were each their own living creature that could re-arrange themselves into the other parts if need be.
@@bugjamsthat's interesting because that's pretty much how humans and all multicellular life got its start seperate organisms getting consumed and then differentiating into different parts of the same organism... life is so beautiful
When you think about it our body isnt so different and only the scale is smaller. Our cells come from the same division sure but other than that the vast majority is specialized little parts that cooperate
@attichen4749 yep, that's paranormal. I spend some time on there but most of it is werid mystical stuff. Like I want to hear about these crytids and creepy encounters
Something of such a large size would need a very large amount of food. The abyssal plains of the deep ocean would seem to be too bereft of food sources to support such an organism. But then again, a huge colony of many creatures with multiple types of diets is what could reasonably expect to find down there - again, for a large organism.
@Bobjones1954 Well sure, given the diets of sperm whales and their numbers...but wait... When I was a kid, "giant squid" were a stupid, drunken mariners' tale, right? So, something like "collosal squid" was a complete, idiotic "conspiracy theory," right? ...until it wasn't. Actually, these things have been known about for a very long time, but modern Western "science" needs to guard against HERETICS!!!!!!! So, what else could be down there? Well, nothing, of course because that is what the experts (ie: PRIESTS) say, right?!
Gas vents and heat vents could help sustain parts in hibernation, if it can absorb caught/dead creatures aswell while asleep then the cells wouldn't burn much energy.
You forgot photosynthesis and chemical conversions. Remember this. There is plants designed to trap animals while also depending on nutrients from the soil.
My favorite /x/ cryptid. If only because it would make an AWESOME monster/setting for an underwater horror game. When I first read the greentext on /x/ ages ago, I assumed the OP already knew the 'bloop' sound was sped up, and that the carpet's sound was that 5-minute long low frequency sound. Way scarier and more likely for a mile-long colony organism.
Apparently this particular cryptid is well known in the navy. My navy vet bro said there are some officers who will get straight up pissed at you for bringing it up or refuse to talk about it.
Unless anon had a lot of time to cook prior to the bloop discussion, it’s kinda unlikely they’re making this all up by themselves. Even then, they’d still be a cool worldbuilder with a good amount of scientific knowledge. Despite the blatant lack of evidence, it’s a very interesting concept… If anything was gonna survive at least a few extinction events down in the abyss, something akin to this sounds like a plausible candidate. We don’t know what countless combinations of amino acids etc around the hydrothermal vents in Terra’s primordial oceans were stable, they could’ve given rise to entirely different lineages, had they not been snuffed out prematurely... Then again, we’re not sure that some of them weren’t. Definitely a reason to think twice about swimming on other planets lmao Awesome video. Subbed 👌
Lmao, it sounds like the deep sea equivalent of someone's Deviantart Sonic OC. "It's big, and strong, the biggest and strongest ever, and it's covered in stinging cells, and it eats everything it touches, and also it can move fast and ride currents and has tons of tentacles and it ate a SUBMARINE!!" It's well-written, but utterly fake and unbelievable, lol.
That sure is an interesting concept, but I would not think, that those "survivors" would be this large, quite the opposite. There could be virus like structures such a the mimivirus, or single-celled organisms only distantly related to the rest of life, basically being it's fourth domain, still waiting to be discovered.
I just wanted to pop in and say that your videos, not only being of extraordinary quality given the size of your channel, are extremely entertaining and useful for me! Ive just discovered your channel today and I am really inspired. Im a writer and recently my biggest obsession has been a particular area of worldbuilding which thrives on inspiration from real-life cryptids like these! I love a good bigfoot, but my excitement is much higher whenever i stumble upon the more obscure and believable cryptids. This is awesome, keep up the good work! Just to clarify, I love your work on the real animals as well, both video types are well researched and very inspiring and educational :))
Fun fact: Based in mathematics we are missing about six "sea monsters", or creatures that are two meters or bigger. So even if this isn't real there's a high chance that there is a creature exactly like this.
You’re right, we cannot be certain of anything in history that was not filmed. Governments today rewrite history to suit themselves, why would you think 100, 1000, 10,000 years ago would be any different?
It's _really_ hard to justify giant deep sea creatures existing, and I kinda get tired of hearing people say "but most of the ocean is unexplored!!" Yes, technically that's true, but the ocean isn't static either. We also monitor some parts of the ocean constantly, and see life travel between these areas. So to use a metaphor, if the ocean were a giant mansion, it's like we're watching certain doorways. Anyone living in the mansion would eventually go through these doorways and be seen, you don't need to monitor the entire mansion to eventually see most of the people. But okay - let's say there's recluse giants who never leave their "room" so to speak. There'd still be evidence of them in ajoining rooms, and in the creatures we already see. For example - we knew giant squids existed before ever catching one on footage, because of the marks left on the whales that ate them. We also have rough estimates of how many animals are in the deep sea per square mile, which tells us a lot about the food web down there. Truth is, most life down there is slow-going and frail. Very few predators because there's little food to begin with - something giant would need lots of prey. The final nail in the coffin is that we'd see evidence of a giant predator in the forms of its offspring or remains. We've seen giant squid offspring - in fact, we know a lot about them. Their sheets of floating eggs can be found throughout the ocean. Their corpses also get caught in nets or wash up on shore fairly often - along with the corpses of other bloated marine giants, there's even a term for it, a "globster." While most people mistake globsters for sea monsters or undiscovered leviathans, an expert can easily deduce what animal it's from by disecting it. If a new deep sea behemoth actually existed, we'd see evidence for it in _at least_ one of these categories. You have to understand how _hard_ it is for a giant sea creature to hide its entire existence from us. We knew much about giant squids even before the first recorded sighting, because evidence of their existence was _everywhere_ else.
Except all of that knowledge is vetted first by the elites before being shown to the public, all of your “science” is always monitored by the government to fit see if it fits the narrative, even small, seemingly mundane things leaking to the public could lead them down a path of distrust. This could easily be covered up for thousands of different reasons.
And yet we didn’t know the mountain gorilla existed until the 1920s 🙄 you’re like the professors telling the ignorant peasants that said this rock fell from the sky, that rocks do not exist in the sky and therefore can not fall from it….. until some scientist “discovered” meteorites
What you're failing to consider is the sheer abundance of giant squid populations. Everything you said may be true, but it still doesn't account for the millions of giant squid that exist unaccounted. Their populations must be sustained off of something. Again, these are large, predatory, global predators, yet despite all of the "doors" you mentioned, i can count the amount of footage using two hands.
You're also failing to account for the historical abundance of marine life. Fish stocks are down globally by 90%, whale populations have seen similar population declines. Sharks and rays are also nearly extinct, with a staggering 80% population decline since the 70's alone. The world was waaaay more abundant with life just 30 years ago. These massive population declines would surely also affect any large organisms living off of them, thus justifying the rarity of whatever "cryptid" organisms exist.
I like to imagine this creature is the result of new life forming from the collective drift of cast off regerative arms/limbs/claws/tissue along with non-regenerative matter, human and plant as well as plastics unfortunately. Hundreds, thousands, millions of fully and partially regerative tissue detritis in various stages of freshness and decay becoming one with dead flesh and awakening to new life and form bound together in a web of skeletal plastic in a process lasting around five minutes or so, that sounds oddly like a bloop when sped up.
Thanks for yet another informative video about a weird monster of modern day folklore that I've never heard of before now! I am familiar with the Bloop and El Cuero but not this "black carpet" entity that deep sea diver folklore suspects to be the identity of both, at least not until I watched this video.
I like how some cryptids are like "NO I SWEAR AN ANCIENT ANIMAL FROM MILLIONS OF YEARS AGO LASTED ALL THIS TIME WITHOUT FOOD OR A HABITAT OR BREEDING POPULATION OR BEING SPOTTED OR LEAVING ANY BONES BUT I WILL FLIP MY SHIT IF YOU SUGGEST IT DIDN'T" And then there's just "weird animal that might exist" cryptids. The problem with this kind of cryptid is the accounts want both the security of it being undiscovered from lack of documentation - AND to lecture you on what the mystery organism is, how it works, its habits, prehistoric history and every minute "lore detail" imaginable. All without any plausible way to know them. Oh and ofc it has to be like kaiju level powerful. Obviously.
Yeah. The popular recording you hear is sped up 16x faster than the original. When its played at its original speed, its 100% easy to believe its just fracturing ice shelfs.
The Black Carpet reminds me of the lake monster from Creepshow 2 when the teenagers are stuck out on a dock and it finding ways to get them one by one... Wouldn't be suprised to learn its based off that very same movie monster
This was literally an idea for a biome in the original Subnautica game wait back in its alpha days .-. Pretty sure the development team at Unknown Worlds beat 4chan to this one.
If you're going to cover 4chan cryptids, have you covered the Nevada beasts that the original poster said might have been ground sloths? Or something similar?
I believe from what was said of The Bloop by a few that know how to read those detection machines was that if it was a creature, it would have had to be far, far bigger than people attributed to any living organism we now of to make a reading from that depth. Thus why they said it had to be the shifting of plates or something akin to that.
Has anyone seen Lizzo diving when that Bloop was recorded? Technically, large animals as we know them evolved first during the Edicaran and Cambian, so less than a billion years ago.
You yes you all who are writing in comment section are you all Americans or do you all have insomnia this is 3:01 in the morning how are you still awake?
... A marine biologist would never, EVER utter the phrase "Jellyfish and other echinoderms." He would know that jellies are cnidarians, a group that is not even close to echinoderms smh
Theres so many moving parts to this story that make it hard to believe, lmao. I get the idea being captivating but some of the actual writing immediately tells you its just stories "It was a mile long and a mile wide" yeah sure because you have a mile of vision anywhere this thing exists. Like cmon, its such horror schlock writing in some parts. Great video, source material weird as hell, lol
Is this critter a recent thing? I could have sworn I listened to a Creepypasta read by Mr. Creeypasta many many years back about a diver encountering this by a reef....
So guys.... I think we should destroy it. If it ever adapts to get onto land, we're pretty much done. Now, how do we chemically burn something underwater?
The connection to the "bloop" recording seems really weak and not even important, the "bloop" does not really hint at such a creature existing since there is nothing to really suggest that such a creature would make that noise and the "black carpet" could still be a thing even if it was not what caused the "bloop". Also, I do not understand why there is any assumption that it would be some ancient primordial lifeform rather than something that developed more recently. In general, the "black carpet" seems like a plausible cryptid as it is basically just a weird creature and not some magical being and the sea could hide a monster that big but without evidence there is not really much reason to assume it is anything more than fiction.
Many Mysteries remain hidden from the human eyes, no s*** it's the ocean. The part that makes me laugh is a whole modern technology thing since modern technology allowed us to pretty much scan and map the entire ocean without having to send a human being down there. Fun fact, there's basically just gigantic underwater deserts and much like our own deserts up here there's not that much life there. Most life in the ocean is actually roughly 200 miles off of shore. Beyond that you enter the desert.
I love the idea of the black carpet, but as a diver, there's one, absolutely critical flaw in the story. Visibility? Underwater? On a GREAT day? Yeah, you're measuring it in the dozens of feet. On the surface. During the day. With lots of sunshine and still water. But how anyone would even BEGIN to measure a creature at a MILE in diameter on the deep ocean floor, where ROV's can see, like, 10-20 feet? Unfortunately that just ain't happening. So either this thing is much smaller, much closer to the surface, or... unfortunately, much faker than what these stories might imply. Still, love the concept and its refreshingly creative and "plausible", especially when compared to some of the exhaustively debunked ocean cryptids like the Meg.
one of the weirder "Plausible" cryptids but I'm here for it
it's the closest thing you can get to a realistic explanation for a Lovecraftian eldritch abomination
There was a Subnautica early concept for a biome like this. A huge black mass filled with tentacles that would reach up and drag down any fish, submarine, or unfortunate player that gets too close

Like Zadoc Allen asked “have you ever seen a Shuggoth? “
I always thought that the Bloop was Cthulhu, now you tell me it’s Nyarlathotep? WTF dude?!
I remember reading the original thread. I’m old
9:22 Ah channeling our inner Tim Curry I see~ 😜
i heard this called the "dark fish" layer to make fun of dark particles in physics lol
this is some good stuff
Remember the great pacific garbage patch? Welp turns out it was this thing all along. Who knew.
I like how some cryptids are like "NO I SWEAR AN ANCIENT ANIMAL FROM MILLIONS OF YEARS AGO LASTED ALL THIS TIME WITHOUT FOOD OR A HABITAT OR BREEDING POPULATION OR BEING SPOTTED OR LEAVING ANY BONES BUT I WILL FLIP MY SHIT IF YOU SUGGEST IT DIDN'T"
And then there's just "weird animal that might exist" cryptids.
The problem with this kind of cryptid is the accounts want both the security of it being undiscovered from lack of documentation - AND to lecture you on what the mystery organism is, how it works, its habits, prehistoric history and every minute "lore detail" imaginable. All without any plausible way to know them.
Oh and ofc it has to be like kaiju level powerful. Obviously.

Avengers level threat fr
That Secret of Mana music is taking me back!!
Wasn’t the bloop noise already solved
Yeah. The popular recording you hear is sped up 16x faster than the original.
When its played at its original speed, its 100% easy to believe its just fracturing ice shelfs.
Wait, is this how everyone says "anon"?
ay-non, ah-non, depends on the day of the week for me tbh
Uh-non?

It's how it's pronounced if you are secretly a part of the hacker cult
@@lilwaterbill6244 Tell me you don’t know what the word means without telling me you don’t know what the word means.
It's like that one thing from Courage the Cowardly Dog
You could say the bloop sound was very....bloopy
The Black Carpet reminds me of the lake monster from Creepshow 2 when the teenagers are stuck out on a dock and it finding ways to get them one by one...
Wouldn't be suprised to learn its based off that very same movie monster
It's the kind of thing I used to imagine existed in the Challenger Deep.
Oooh the black carpet looks like licorice but big, surely nothing would go wrong by eating some of it!
This here is the bloop. You cant tell it's the bloop because of the way that it is
The whole time listening my mind wouldn’t stop playing “Magic Carpet Ride”( from the 70s) lol.
Great song for the video
There's only one animal gargantuan enough to feast upon said beastie, and that's the Carpet Muncher.
The bloop was probably just a massive air bubble being released by a tectonic plate shift.
dude its a school of fish
Wow, mystery solved, you really did the world a favor here
I'm a school of fish.
You are s bag of meat.
That has been disproven.
@@lorddemonoss3945 its black and has a carpet so it could be your mom
@@pete4043ask your mom about the black carpet I layed on her face.
Have we considered draining the ocean and catching it on fire? Just a thought
Love it.
This was literally an idea for a biome in the original Subnautica game wait back in its alpha days .-. Pretty sure the development team at Unknown Worlds beat 4chan to this one.
If you're going to cover 4chan cryptids, have you covered the Nevada beasts that the original poster said might have been ground sloths? Or something similar?
The black carpet.... there's a joke in there.
I believe from what was said of The Bloop by a few that know how to read those detection machines was that if it was a creature, it would have had to be far, far bigger than people attributed to any living organism we now of to make a reading from that depth. Thus why they said it had to be the shifting of plates or something akin to that.
The recording also must be sped up for humans to hear it jsyk
I personally think that is eels having a mating party
One of the most plausible cryptids
Maybe an ancient, infirm and somewhat senile Shoggoth?
You should do a cryptid corner on the Lusca
Has anyone seen Lizzo diving when that Bloop was recorded?
Technically, large animals as we know them evolved first during the Edicaran and Cambian, so less than a billion years ago.
It's smaller brother ended up in Hollywood, and had it's big break in Creepshow 2. 😅
You yes you all who are writing in comment section are you all Americans or do you all have insomnia this is 3:01 in the morning how are you still awake?
Murica!
AMERICA FUCK YEAH

Time zones, how do they work?
I really love making shit up and spread it on 4chan.
Maybe the real Black Carpet was the friends we made along the way?
Dean Koontz : Phantoms
W backround music
This makes me think it's something like pando or that giant fungi. A large colonial organism.
I've n3ver h3ard that version of the bloop🤔....fishy(heh)😅
Does this thing remind anyone else of the monster from the movie phantoms
... A marine biologist would never, EVER utter the phrase "Jellyfish and other echinoderms." He would know that jellies are cnidarians, a group that is not even close to echinoderms smh
Theres so many moving parts to this story that make it hard to believe, lmao. I get the idea being captivating but some of the actual writing immediately tells you its just stories
"It was a mile long and a mile wide" yeah sure because you have a mile of vision anywhere this thing exists. Like cmon, its such horror schlock writing in some parts.
Great video, source material weird as hell, lol
Yeah the mile long thing is kind of weird because even in the thread he talks about how little distance you can actually see down there.
So El Cuero is a smaller fresh water species of the Black Carpet? My theory was that it’s a large predatory flatworm.
It kinda looks like a big school of fish.
The black carpet is real, its just takes up the wholeass sea floor
Is this critter a recent thing?
I could have sworn I listened to a Creepypasta read by Mr. Creeypasta many many years back about a diver encountering this by a reef....
You have a link? Aquatic creepypasta is the shit.
@ Yeah I just found it again: th-cam.com/video/qHRo8XVleXc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xscFFKpp-xCjXoK-
Am I going crazy or is that the Pokémon game music in the background 🤣
It couldnt be an ice berg na. More probably a carpet thats black.
So guys.... I think we should destroy it. If it ever adapts to get onto land, we're pretty much done. Now, how do we chemically burn something underwater?
3:32 SERINA MENTIONED ❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
Didn’t it turn out to be “or at least the widely accepted answer” was that is was a glacier quake?
Also black carpet sounds like an 80s nudie flick
I liked it done this way
sounds like Cthulhu's pet
The connection to the "bloop" recording seems really weak and not even important, the "bloop" does not really hint at such a creature existing since there is nothing to really suggest that such a creature would make that noise and the "black carpet" could still be a thing even if it was not what caused the "bloop". Also, I do not understand why there is any assumption that it would be some ancient primordial lifeform rather than something that developed more recently. In general, the "black carpet" seems like a plausible cryptid as it is basically just a weird creature and not some magical being and the sea could hide a monster that big but without evidence there is not really much reason to assume it is anything more than fiction.
Its what im in the house like.
Many Mysteries remain hidden from the human eyes, no s*** it's the ocean. The part that makes me laugh is a whole modern technology thing since modern technology allowed us to pretty much scan and map the entire ocean without having to send a human being down there. Fun fact, there's basically just gigantic underwater deserts and much like our own deserts up here there's not that much life there. Most life in the ocean is actually roughly 200 miles off of shore. Beyond that you enter the desert.

Is that the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack?
yesir
I love the idea of the black carpet, but as a diver, there's one, absolutely critical flaw in the story.
Visibility? Underwater? On a GREAT day? Yeah, you're measuring it in the dozens of feet. On the surface. During the day. With lots of sunshine and still water.
But how anyone would even BEGIN to measure a creature at a MILE in diameter on the deep ocean floor, where ROV's can see, like, 10-20 feet? Unfortunately that just ain't happening.
So either this thing is much smaller, much closer to the surface, or... unfortunately, much faker than what these stories might imply.
Still, love the concept and its refreshingly creative and "plausible", especially when compared to some of the exhaustively debunked ocean cryptids like the Meg.
