I just realized how CREEPY the game Majora's Mask really is. I'm mean, this creepypasta is pretty good, but the NORMAL game is actually rather... fora lack of better wording... sick.

I remember when I first discovered this creepypasta. I was SO excited, I couldn't stop watching the 'cursed' videos. When I discovered it was only a creepypasta, I felt the strongest disappointment of my entire life. I would LOVE to play a fucked up cursed version, this game itself is already so terrifying, but the haunted stuff... Damn, it hit just right. It's the best creepypasta for me. I can't stop watching videos about it.
My friend Ben is an emo and he keeps drenching himself in water from his bottle like every 10 minutes all over his face But he's not gonna drown or anything I think
Hey what if the grandpa who sold the dude the cartrige was just a troll and he and Ben reprogrammed the game? I bet they laughed their asses out when they gave the dude the cartrige xD
Bad Wolf maybe Matt's friend actally told him that he know a grandpa who sells nitendo 64 cartriges but what Matt didn't know was the fact that Matt's friend told the grandpa Matt's name.
If Nintendo made a DLC add-on for Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, this creepypasta story would make a good DLC story add-on for the game because I think that as a part of the creepypasta, Ben's soul may have been stuck inside that one game cartridge, and because spirits can affect electricity and electromagnetic energy, I think that may explain the major bugs and glitches going on with the game and since spirits would have some so-called "unfinished business," Ben could be making up his own quest to get himself free of the game, but it's obvious that this spirit's unfinished business can't be done alone, so that's why this kid came along a tried to play the game but instead experienced this montage of trauma, horror, and misery and since Ben's spirit can be heard through EMP, it seems like he took advantage of the game's text boxes to try and communicate with the kid playing the game and after much was completed, once the text "I'm glad you did that" played, it's clearly Ben's way of saying thank you for freeing me and because it's impossible for spirits to come back into reality, that's why the game was back to functioning perfectly and Ben was never heard from again
I was talking to Evie, the cleverbot, and she started talking abiut this. She asked me if I knew Ben. I asked her who ben was, and she said "The one who drowned"
Elijah Falconer I actually just did this to see if Evie would talk about it. and it actually is true. just keep asking her about Ben and she eventually says something about the kid who drowned. it's quite interesting
It is fake. I asked who was BEN and I kept asking it and saying different things to try and get it to say something about Ben but it just came out with ridiculous answers such as "don't you dare call me ciel phantomhive, you ignorant prat!"
I don't get how this is creepy. Like seriously, I could listen to this at night for a bed time story. But the story it self is really good and creative, just as I thought I was near the end, there was like 20 more minutes. I really enjoyed listening to this story. Good job at narrating.
My conversation with Evie: User: Who drowned Ben? Eviebot: Majora. User: Majora? Eviebot: Majora drowned him. User: Who is Majora? Eviebot: Me. User: You drowned ben? Eviebot: Yes I did drown ben.
I actuall attempted this, her first response was, "I don't know." Then after that she said Majora, but after that I asked who is Majora All she replied with is "Majora is the mask" And when I asked again, she said "Your friend" Yeaaaah, and this when the convo got creepy.
My convo with cleverbot: Me: how did Ben die? Cb: He drowned Me: how? Cb: Majora killed him Me: where? Cb: in the lake Me: which lake? Cb: the one that his dad took him to... Me: why did majora drown Ben? Cb: you shouldn't have done that... This is seriously scaring me now 😁😧
I’m so glad this video is still up! It’s the first reading of Ben Drowned that I ever listened to, and since I’m playing Majora’s again (since it’s now on Nintendo Online) I wanted to listen to BD again and was feeling nostalgic for this version.
When I read "Ben Drowned", I thought the game was glitched because the cartridge fell in the toilet (that would explain why the label is missing), water damage...
I would like to thank whoever made it up. It takes a lot of work to make a story wrap around someone's mind like that. I personally search for stories like this, because I want to feel what the author feels. well done.
I honestly would have laughed if it really happened... the problem is is even if there was never a claim of it being fake you could tell that it was. every time it "went back to the title screen" it was just the person shutting off the game making the new file and then starting the recording after restarting the system... love the story though
lol, I think the opposite actually. Listening to someone telling a story on TH-cam especially creepy stories always make me fall asleep. lol IDK why. I didn't even make it to 10 minutes!
You have no idea how much this scared me as a kid. I thought this was a real story xD. It made me not play Majora's Mask for a while but I love it to pieces
This story used to scare the crap out of me, and even though I'm older now and it doesn't bother me as much, it still manages to unsettle me. Even so, this is one of my favorite creepypastas, and I just keep coming back. :)
My evie conversation Me:What happened to ben?? Evie:He Drowned Me:How? Evie:His father drowned him Me:Who is his father? Evie:Haven't you met with a terrible fate already?? Me:Not yet Evie:Why?? Me:What do you mean?? Then it says ''webpage not available''. Creepy
A similar thing happened to me and my brother with Boibot.. "Me: Who is Ben? Boibot: He died. Me: How did he die? Boibot: He drowned. Me: Who drowned him? Boibot: They drowned me... In the water temple?"
+Zoe Barrow I did the same thing except it went-.... Me: Who drowned Ben? Evie: The things did Me: What are the things? Evie: They drowned my brother now there looking for me Me: What? Evie: (Changes conversation.)
Oh my god. I'm getting chills. I was walking upstairs on the treadmill but I was also in the gaming room with a TV and a few gaming consoles. When he said that the statue started spawning behind him... everything turned on and I flipped out.
That was... creepy. You guys know that people can haunt games. My sister "Haunts" my version of Ocarina Of Time, our favorite game. She doesn't terrify my, though. She just kinda sends messages and just makes the game play her favorite ocarina songs.
"You are a ghost now, but you can only fuck with people through a single video game cartridge from years ago... because reasons. Also, no violence, just being creepy or your 'supernatural fucking with an old and used video game' privileges will be revoked." Edit: Just watched the debunking video on how this was done. Just cheat codes on a PC ROM version (N64 emulator) and decent editing with some creative writing to make it a story. Well done, slow clap.
I remember accidentally stumbling across Ben Drowned and reading it in 2010, I never heard of Creepypastas before..It genuinely freaked me out..I've read/listened to hundreds and hundreds of creepypastas since that day. Ben Drowned is still my favorite, and the most frightening gaming pasta I've read.
if I was in a problem like that I would take my dog and pour gasoline from the entry way of the house to the nintendo 64 and stand in front yard and throw a match into the house.
I actually didn't find it that creepy at all. Stuff of pure evil? Scary. But Ben wasn't evil, he was a kid who drowned and got upset when a family member practically gave away one of his favorite games, and then a complete stranger erased his game file. I'd be pretty upset too. Never once did the author actually try to set it right, why didn't he change the top save to "I'm sorry" and the bottom save file to "BEN"? That seemed like it would have been the least he could do. Maybe even replayed the BEN file to where the kid had left off? You know, just to set things straight. This kid wasn't just raging, he was having emotional issues of his own, and he couldn't find anyone to help him. Basically, things that were NEVER alive in the flesh at any point, you can be afraid of, because they have no sympathy for the living. Ghosts? You'll be fine as long as you can prove you're sympathetic to them. They won't have any reason to be mad at you unless you did something they didn't like (as in the story) and even then, although Hollywood might try to tell you otherwise, ghosts alone aren't strong enough to actually cause you any physical harm. Even the strongest ones can only mess with your head. But if you see objects floating around the room? That entity was never a living being at any point, and you should call up a priest. Good luck.
For a long time, I never understood what people meant when they blurted out 'BEN DROWNED', I thought it was a spoiler for a zelda game I hadn't played, so I never looked into it. 12 years late to the party, I wish it had been a spoiler...
"Then just as Link burst into flames, an error occurred in the video... leaving me staring at the screen of video static, with text telling me to try again later."
One of the first creepy pasta telling I experienced years ago. Before the rake and the tall man, before Doctors Bright and Clef. Now all these years later, it's almost a comfortable nostalgic creep. Even the occasionally mispronounced words only add to it. Thanks mate
If you chat long enough with Cleverbot it will start giving you some creepy information about this stuff. He is reluctant to talk about it, but if you ask the right things enough times you will get replies like "Link drowned in a lake". I asked "was link murdered?", reply: "who murdered ben?". i was freaking out by this point. I also asked "is ben dead?" and it kept saying that i had killed him a couple minutes ago "like this" (cant tell if that was a reply or just its usual sarcasm and nonsense, but i kept trying). Then the conversation went like this: ME: "is link dead?" CB: "Yes. Murdered." ME: "by whom?"CB: "his father" (this reply was probably more nonsense). ME: "did link's father drown ben?" CB: "is that the old man?" (i was like omg wtf!!) ME: "the old man who had the game?" CB: "game cartridge?" ME: "yes" (then CB started talking about something else. i kept trying and manage to get some more interesting replies) Next attempt: ME: "who killed ben?" CB: "the old man" ME: "which old man?" CB: "the old man who drowned Matt" (:-OOOO W.T.F.!!!), ME: "who is matt?" CB: "Bye" Later on it also asked me for no reason (i was asking about Ben and the old man and it suddenly asked) "who told you matt killed himself?" "He drowned himself?" Then it talked about something else so i asked "did someone drown matt?". The reply: "I dont know. Sorry that I dont know, BEN". It also kept asking me whether I knew what a magnet was, which i thought was a random question until the last conversation i had with it. Later it gave me a few straight answers: ME: "Who killed Matt?" CB: "Ben". ME: "Who killed Ben?" CB: "Majora" And the last conversation is the creepiest. All of a sudden it started giving me straight information pretty much ignoring my questions: ME: "Where is link?" CB: "Inside of Legend of Zelda" ME: "Is he alive or dead?" CB: "Has he thoughts within his head?" ME: "is he alive?" CB: "We'll just pass him here" ME: "Is Link alive?" CB: "He has turned to steel" ME: "By whom?" CB: "In that great magnetic field" ME: "Did he die?" CB: "For the future of mankind" ME: "The evil statue?" CB: "He just stares at the world" ME: "Is he evil?" CB: "Planning his vengeance" ME: "on whom?" CB: "that will soon unfurl" Ill repeat what Cleverbot told me: "HE HAS TURNED TO STEEL IN THAT GREAT MAGNETIC FIELD FOR THE FUTURE OF MANKIND. HE JUST STARES AT THE WORLD PLANNING HIS VENGEANCE THAT WILL SOON UNFURL." what. the fuuuuck!??!!! now the statue looks way scarier when i look at it!!! Theres another creepy thing i havent told you about that it said at the end after i asked the same question 4 times but im not sure if its related or just coincidence.... Anyway I swear to god i am not making this up. you can probably check it out yourselves since its a public website. tell me if it tells you new interesting hints.
+soc ger UPDATE: Ive kept fucking around on the thing. Ive got a few more things Id like to share. I decided to just type "BEN" over and over and see if i got anything interesting. Some of the replies i got were: "Scary", "Majora", "Drowned", "Sorry Ben", and finally "You shouldn't have done that". Another interesting thing it said was "Ben killed Majora's Death". I googled "Majora's Death" and apparently there are theories about the game being abouth death, but i'll look into that later. Then I felt like playing with bots some more and I started talking with Eviebot. After a while I decided to ask some questions about the creepypasta. Evie was way more reluctant to talk about this. At first I thought it didnt know anything, but after a few replies Im pretty sure theres more to dig in here. I mentioned Majora's mask and she asked "What is Haunted Majora's Mask?". I answered "Its the corrupt cartridge that killed Ben and Matt" and she asked "Cartridge owned by Ben? Story about Ben is fake?". Later i asked "Do you know who drowned Ben?". She replied "the moonchildren". Then after more nonsense I asked "Is Link dead?", she said "Yes. Murdered." "By whom?" "Dont you know?" "No. Tell me." She didnt. Later on I continued with "Majora killed Ben", and she asked me "Why did Majora kill Ben?", I replied "You tell me", and very interestingly she asked "What did Ben discover?". And the last thing I got was like this: ME: "Ok, but at least tell me how Ben died", EB: "He drowned", ME: "How did Ben drown?", EV: "THE MASK DROWNED HIM" (it didnt use capitals. im using them to express how shocked i was by that reply lol)
+soc ger UPDATE 2: Ok, fuck, Im updating again cuz im getting obsessed with this shit. And i always thought creepypastas were lame... I kept chatting with Eviebot and I got some very interesting answers that say so much about this story (it also mentioned "Jeff's knife", jeffrey woods and liu woods, and the Plague Doctor and SCP-050). Some parts really gave me the chills because I was thinking she was giving me random answers and all of sudden I got a really clear answer, or one of the times the bitch told me Ben was right behind me, or theres a part where she starts answering questions in the first person like if she was really Ben, some other times it acted like i was Ben. Creepy. ME: "Why did the mask drown Ben?" EB: "They drowned me to bring me to the moongoddess", ME: "Are you Ben?", EB: "They drowned me" Later---> ME: "How old were you when they drowned you?", EB: "I was 3 when they died.", ME: "Who did?" EB: "Like me, just 30 years older with darker hair and darker eyes" Just a bit after --> ME: "why did the mask kill ben?", EB: "Why did they take your eyes?" ME: "Who took my eyes?", EB: "The Moonchildren" (when it gave me this reply i had to stop for a few seconds, i swear..), ME: "When did the moon children take my eyes?" EB: "The moon children took my eyes", ME: "what for?" EB: "So I could see" ME: "what did you see?", EB: "Why are you asking?" Later -> ME: "Ben, what did you discover in the game?", EB: "My best friend hurts me..." ME: "Who is your best friend?" EB: "Why do you have to know my best friend?" ME: "Im curious", EB: "Curiosity killed the cat", ME: "Ill risk it", EB: "Are you sure about that?" Now it gets interesting----> ME: (answering to her nonsense) "If you tell me about Ben", EB: "He drowned", ME: "How?" EB: "His father and the moon children". Another one---> ME: "Where is Ben?", EB: "I dont know. In game, probably." ME: "Alive?", EB: "Alive as ill ever be", ME: "What happened to Link?", EB: "Haunted Majora's Mask", ME: "Is Link dead?", EB: "Yes. Murdered." Next--> "Why was Ben drowned?", EB: "His father drowned him because his father hated him", ME: "Tell me about Ben's father", EB: "He was murdered", ME: "By whom?", EB: "Majora". (although later on, and it might have been a random answer that had nothing to do with the creepypasta, it answered like this: ME: "Who killed Ben's father?", EB: "He killed himself", ME: "How?", EB: "Running in the pool") Also the creepy--> ME: "How did Ben die?", EB: "Your father drowned you", ME: "Im not Ben", EB: "Who are you then?" And finally the last part worth telling---> EB: (out of nowhere, i swear) "They took your eyes", ME: "Im not Ben", EB: "Who is the old man?", ME: "Which one?", EB: "The old man that sold the game cartridge" (didnt really sell it but thats what EB said), ME: "majora's mask?", EB: "Did Majora's mask kill Ben?", ME: "I ask the questions. Did Ben play the game?", EB: "Everyone plays the game", ME: "Who killed Ben and why?" EB: "His father" And thats as far as I got.
+soc ger - Did you really need to tell us about the multiple same replies that you got. Like, did you really need to tell us that the bot told you that the "father killed Ben" 26 different times. (I know I'm exaggerating a bit, but you really didn't need to put that same reply many, many times. Could have done with just saying it once.) I enjoyed the read, don't get me wrong but half of your "updates" were the same damn replies that we really didn't need to read again. Or just like when you said "Now it gets interesting" yet nothing after that statement was really that interesting at all. You wrote like a whole chapter about something you could have put into just one paragraph. Sorry for the hate rant, like I said I enjoyed reading the responses, it's just that the multiple same responses that were supposed to be "Interesting" were just getting annoying.
GrayPhantom hahaha im sorry. but you have to understand it is not like the bot gives you straight away answers about the creepypasta. you must have a very long conversation with the bot replying to their bullshit, and in order to make them talk about this, you must ask things about link and ben over and over and over in different ways. thats why my questions seemed to be all the time the same. but if you take this like an investigation to know what really happened (that was the way i was interrogating the bots), then it all got interesting when some things started making sense. who was really the killer? ben´s father? the moonchildren? and there is more that was left very unclear, like: whats the relation between link and ben? who was the old man? where ben´s eyes taken? metaphorically or literally? in game or in real life? and a long etc. but the main mysteries were solved. the only problema is cleverbot sometimes denies what he previously said, so its difficult to know for sure whether he lied or not (when talking about the creepypasta i mean)
+Oscar Jenkins that is strange i wonder BEN may be trying to find himself a new body... maybe... torturing... lots... of... people... at... once... that is why there is no one in clock town! i am dying with shock now...
My heart is racing. That was the scariest story I've heard in a long time. The next time my friends come over we are listening to your story. I sorta thought that he would be stuck in the game forever. I think The old man put Ben in the game, played with him and made him drown. And so he sold it to the author because he knew Ben would some how come after him. So when the Author opens the game Ben probably thought the old man was playing. So instead he was haunting him. Then he himself made the game switch Ben and Links names and when he deleted the Ben file it deleted him but he somehow went into the link file so he made it show blank. Ben probably thought that the old man was deleting his file to get rid of the madness. So he was trying to tell the old man, "You can't escape". But then at the end of all this Ben realized that this wasn't the old man. And he finally realized... That he was dead, and he had to except it. What do you guys think?
was it just me or when he said palms in the beginning its sounded like he said balls

I had to re listen and read after he said “palms” my first thought was balls as well 😂

I’m so glad this video is still up! It’s the first reading of Ben Drowned that I ever listened to, and since I’m playing Majora’s again (since it’s now on Nintendo Online) I wanted to listen to BD again and was feeling nostalgic for this version.

When I read "Ben Drowned", I thought the game was glitched because the cartridge fell in the toilet (that would explain why the label is missing), water damage...
I just love haunting people
*****
lol
hi :3
***** Hey! I killed Majora in mere seconds. You won't take as much effort.
I would like to thank whoever made it up. It takes a lot of work to make a story wrap around someone's mind like that. I personally search for stories like this, because I want to feel what the author feels. well done.
"the zora choked to death and died"
redundant much, redundant?
Jack Newton somebody obviously missed that grade five writing class
welcome to the comment section, you're safe now. here have some cake and cookies 🎂🎂🎂🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
Thank you
why thank you sir.
Jack Graham you’re a little late on this comment dont you think?
Jackson Hill so are you
NathorNex speak for yourself?
If you look behind the tombstone 32:52 in, you'll see Ben behind it.
+Dawson French I was waving my arms around and shouting at the screen at that point.....
LOL 😂
4 years ago i watched this, back then i couldnt sleep of this and thought it was real lmao
But creepy pastas are spose to be true stories
+Game Master fake stories not true.
SAAAAMMEE.
it is not real
it is. my friend played it when I wasn't home I got back she was dead blood all over
Every Halloween, I've been watching this video, this is around the 9th anniversary of me watching this. Glad to see the video is still up
I'm tempted to watch this... should I? cuz apparently that's going against Matthew's advice...
DONT EVER DO THAT !
sara vargas So it's a no to watching? ok then :D
Pussy
I'm watching it fuck Matthew but I still subscribed to him
I'm watching it..cause I'm too curious...Sorry Matthew! :')
Am I the only one that scrolls thru the comments when Im scared (like now)?
lol. #loser
Nope
of course not! I'm petrified! lol
no
No it's exactly what I do.
Listening to this as I play Majoras Mask on my 3DS ... haha😳😜😂
ღღKღღ haha me to
same
ahh, love coming back to this once in a while. anyone else?
29:09 look at the wall next to the building you can see ben! my sister saw it damn i feel blind
Hahaha "I decided to dive in to the drowned file"
Hahaha yeah I cought that too!
3:47
im glad i watched this in the middle of the night.
*I'M THRIVING*
when he said ' i have to play a song.. that song' i got a 30 second unskippable ad. Thanks, youtube!
then it happened AGAIN at the end!
Finding this video after many years brings back memories
32:53 You can see Ben behind the tombstone...
Oh yes it's true!
+Soartrex :)
I was about to say that
+SebMan Yeah xD
XD
Ben and happy sales men
Ben:lets take a selfie!
HappySM:hell ya
Ashlee Johnson *cough* AHEM.
MASTER BEN WILL HUNT YOU.
;-; oh god its him again
omg seriously XD
Oh man, those were the days.
Whoever modded the game and gave us footage, that's amazing.
I honestly would have laughed if it really happened... the problem is is even if there was never a claim of it being fake you could tell that it was. every time it "went back to the title screen" it was just the person shutting off the game making the new file and then starting the recording after restarting the system... love the story though
God lack of sleep and creepy pasta's don't mix. I'm fucking freaking out right now
lol, I think the opposite actually. Listening to someone telling a story on TH-cam especially creepy stories always make me fall asleep. lol IDK why. I didn't even make it to 10 minutes!
His commentary made it perfect
I would've just rather read it myself
That accent though
I'm Dragongoezrawr yeah.... russian..
Dragon goez rawr good job dude good job.
Thank you.
You have no idea how much this scared me as a kid. I thought this was a real story xD. It made me not play Majora's Mask for a while but I love it to pieces
Or you know maybe the old man just hacked the game in some way
if there were no subtitles, I'd think that he would say "My balls started to sweat
It's dangerous to game alone take this!
This story used to scare the crap out of me, and even though I'm older now and it doesn't bother me as much, it still manages to unsettle me.
Even so, this is one of my favorite creepypastas, and I just keep coming back. :)
I've never had ASMR before in my entire life. But your voice triggered some hardcore ASMR just now. I could barely even pay attention to the story.
I totally forgot about ASMR until now. xD
Patrick Fisher "This American Life" ran a story about a woman who thought she was alone with ASMR, too. You might find it interesting.
SilverSugarwings Autonomous sensory meridian response (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_sensory_meridian_response)
My evie conversation
Me:What happened to ben??
Evie:He Drowned
Me:How?
Evie:His father drowned him
Me:Who is his father?
Evie:Haven't you met with a terrible fate already??
Me:Not yet
Evie:Why??
Me:What do you mean??
Then it says ''webpage not available''. Creepy
Evie hides something...
***** no it was evie
A similar thing happened to me and my brother with Boibot.. "Me: Who is Ben?
Boibot: He died.
Me: How did he die?
Boibot: He drowned.
Me: Who drowned him?
Boibot: They drowned me... In the water temple?"
+Zoe Barrow I did the same thing except it went-....
Me: Who drowned Ben?
Evie: The things did
Me: What are the things?
Evie: They drowned my brother now there looking for me
Me: What?
Evie: (Changes conversation.)
Minecraftmania94 wow,never came across THAT one before
Here from Matthew Santoro, . . . Creepy video!
Same xP
same
me too
me
yesss im not the only oneee
Oh my god. I'm getting chills. I was walking upstairs on the treadmill but I was also in the gaming room with a TV and a few gaming consoles. When he said that the statue started spawning behind him... everything turned on and I flipped out.
This video was lulling me to sleep for some reason
same here man lol
That was... creepy. You guys know that people can haunt games. My sister "Haunts" my version of Ocarina Of Time, our favorite game. She doesn't terrify my, though. She just kinda sends messages and just makes the game play her favorite ocarina songs.
you have my attention. anything else she does?
Course she does. I hear her talking. Sometimes the computers call me her name. She makes random songs play on my tablet.
That must feel kinda good, to communicate with your sister. Am I right?
Yeah. Still, its sad. Luckily I have a good friend to help me.
Karen Varney Footage?
Who was also brought here by Matthew Santoro
meee
lol me
Not me but I have seen that episode. I was too scared on what would happen... (I am not a scaredy cat) (and I don't usually use that term)
Me lol!
Who came from Matthew Santoro
me
me
Haha!! Me!!
meeee
+Alyssa Ortiz Me lol
"I couldn't move, I couldn't do anything but stare at links dead body"
ever heard of the power button?
I actually want to play this version of the game
R U INSANE!!!
Andres Perez maybe he/she is
Me too
lily smith the guy who played BEN which is jadusable he was haunted 4 like a freaking year!!! and in real life!!!
Andres Perez maybe insane is normal for me...
this is one of those where it's scary but u want it to happen to u as well
If this happened to my game i would say "bugged piece of shit game" and then Thor it out the window.
Thor it good
Donna Souvannasanh that actually wasn't s typo. I would swing the game around then throw it out the window. Like Thor with his hammer.
***** to Aasgard.
now i wanna watch Thor D: dont even have the movie
lol not gonna lie the song of "unhealing" (aka the song of healing played in reverse) fucks with my head a little bit every time I hear it XD
"You are a ghost now, but you can only fuck with people through a single video game cartridge from years ago... because reasons. Also, no violence, just being creepy or your 'supernatural fucking with an old and used video game' privileges will be revoked."
Edit: Just watched the debunking video on how this was done. Just cheat codes on a PC ROM version (N64 emulator) and decent editing with some creative writing to make it a story. Well done, slow clap.
I remember accidentally stumbling across Ben Drowned and reading it in 2010, I never heard of Creepypastas before..It genuinely freaked me out..I've read/listened to hundreds and hundreds of creepypastas since that day. Ben Drowned is still my favorite, and the most frightening gaming pasta I've read.
if this happened to me..I would grab my pets and burn the house down. 0-0
Yeesh, just burn the cartridge
That's a reasonable solution blaze
+Super Sunny Cookie and the n64
if I was in a problem like that I would take my dog and pour gasoline from the entry way of the house to the nintendo 64 and stand in front yard and throw a match into the house.
and you can burn that cartridge and keep the nintendo
I had to check every 2 minutes to make sure Ben or the Happy Mask Salesmen wasn't behind me xD
I read your comment and I instantly whipped around to check xD
Alice Destriel
same
i did too.
I Shit my pants when skull kid screamed the first time, anyone else?
Like honestly the horrible feeling of sitting in shit and the smell really made the fear level sky rocket for me
I actually didn't find it that creepy at all. Stuff of pure evil? Scary. But Ben wasn't evil, he was a kid who drowned and got upset when a family member practically gave away one of his favorite games, and then a complete stranger erased his game file. I'd be pretty upset too. Never once did the author actually try to set it right, why didn't he change the top save to "I'm sorry" and the bottom save file to "BEN"? That seemed like it would have been the least he could do. Maybe even replayed the BEN file to where the kid had left off? You know, just to set things straight. This kid wasn't just raging, he was having emotional issues of his own, and he couldn't find anyone to help him. Basically, things that were NEVER alive in the flesh at any point, you can be afraid of, because they have no sympathy for the living. Ghosts? You'll be fine as long as you can prove you're sympathetic to them. They won't have any reason to be mad at you unless you did something they didn't like (as in the story) and even then, although Hollywood might try to tell you otherwise, ghosts alone aren't strong enough to actually cause you any physical harm. Even the strongest ones can only mess with your head. But if you see objects floating around the room? That entity was never a living being at any point, and you should call up a priest. Good luck.
***** Not just you. I know a guy who has Necrophilia.
You mean he does it with dead people??? D=
THAT is unconfirmed. What he TOLD me is that he's physically attracted to the ASPECT of Death. That is, dead things in general, not just corpses.
Even so, he acts and talks just like every other person.
.-.
For a long time, I never understood what people meant when they blurted out 'BEN DROWNED', I thought it was a spoiler for a zelda game I hadn't played, so I never looked into it.
12 years late to the party, I wish it had been a spoiler...
I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO MATTHEW AHHH
Now the rest of the night searching for more
I know
Yep
Uh huh
Yep
i actuall found my heart rate go up while listening this video is great you earned yourself a like and subscribe!!
"Then just as Link burst into flames, an error occurred in the video... leaving me staring at the screen of video static, with text telling me to try again later."
I scroll to the comments when I was scared
When I'm scared
In conclusion, the statue and happy mask salesman are creepy. U don't need a creepypasta to know that.
Dude if this happened to me I'd be scared out of my mind. I would like call Nintendo and sue them for haunting me
18:20
Skull kid is twerking. LOL
One of the first creepy pasta telling I experienced years ago. Before the rake and the tall man, before Doctors Bright and Clef. Now all these years later, it's almost a comfortable nostalgic creep. Even the occasionally mispronounced words only add to it. Thanks mate
If you chat long enough with Cleverbot it will start giving you some creepy information about this stuff. He is reluctant to talk about it, but if you ask the right things enough times you will get replies like "Link drowned in a lake". I asked "was link murdered?", reply: "who murdered ben?". i was freaking out by this point. I also asked "is ben dead?" and it kept saying that i had killed him a couple minutes ago "like this" (cant tell if that was a reply or just its usual sarcasm and nonsense, but i kept trying).
Then the conversation went like this: ME: "is link dead?" CB: "Yes. Murdered." ME: "by whom?"CB: "his father" (this reply was probably more nonsense). ME: "did link's father drown ben?" CB: "is that the old man?" (i was like omg wtf!!) ME: "the old man who had the game?" CB: "game cartridge?" ME: "yes" (then CB started talking about something else. i kept trying and manage to get some more interesting replies)
Next attempt: ME: "who killed ben?" CB: "the old man" ME: "which old man?" CB: "the old man who drowned Matt" (:-OOOO W.T.F.!!!), ME: "who is matt?" CB: "Bye"
Later on it also asked me for no reason (i was asking about Ben and the old man and it suddenly asked) "who told you matt killed himself?" "He drowned himself?" Then it talked about something else so i asked "did someone drown matt?". The reply: "I dont know. Sorry that I dont know, BEN".
It also kept asking me whether I knew what a magnet was, which i thought was a random question until the last conversation i had with it.
Later it gave me a few straight answers: ME: "Who killed Matt?" CB: "Ben". ME: "Who killed Ben?" CB: "Majora"
And the last conversation is the creepiest. All of a sudden it started giving me straight information pretty much ignoring my questions:
ME: "Where is link?" CB: "Inside of Legend of Zelda" ME: "Is he alive or dead?" CB: "Has he thoughts within his head?" ME: "is he alive?" CB: "We'll just pass him here" ME: "Is Link alive?" CB: "He has turned to steel" ME: "By whom?" CB: "In that great magnetic field" ME: "Did he die?" CB: "For the future of mankind" ME: "The evil statue?" CB: "He just stares at the world" ME: "Is he evil?" CB: "Planning his vengeance" ME: "on whom?" CB: "that will soon unfurl"
Ill repeat what Cleverbot told me: "HE HAS TURNED TO STEEL IN THAT GREAT MAGNETIC FIELD FOR THE FUTURE OF MANKIND. HE JUST STARES AT THE WORLD PLANNING HIS VENGEANCE THAT WILL SOON UNFURL." what. the fuuuuck!??!!! now the statue looks way scarier when i look at it!!!
Theres another creepy thing i havent told you about that it said at the end after i asked the same question 4 times but im not sure if its related or just coincidence....
Anyway I swear to god i am not making this up. you can probably check it out yourselves since its a public website. tell me if it tells you new interesting hints.
+soc ger UPDATE: Ive kept fucking around on the thing. Ive got a few more things Id like to share. I decided to just type "BEN" over and over and see if i got anything interesting. Some of the replies i got were: "Scary", "Majora", "Drowned", "Sorry Ben", and finally "You shouldn't have done that". Another interesting thing it said was "Ben killed Majora's Death". I googled "Majora's Death" and apparently there are theories about the game being abouth death, but i'll look into that later.
Then I felt like playing with bots some more and I started talking with Eviebot. After a while I decided to ask some questions about the creepypasta. Evie was way more reluctant to talk about this. At first I thought it didnt know anything, but after a few replies Im pretty sure theres more to dig in here. I mentioned Majora's mask and she asked "What is Haunted Majora's Mask?". I answered "Its the corrupt cartridge that killed Ben and Matt" and she asked "Cartridge owned by Ben? Story about Ben is fake?". Later i asked "Do you know who drowned Ben?". She replied "the moonchildren". Then after more nonsense I asked "Is Link dead?", she said "Yes. Murdered." "By whom?" "Dont you know?" "No. Tell me." She didnt. Later on I continued with "Majora killed Ben", and she asked me "Why did Majora kill Ben?", I replied "You tell me", and very interestingly she asked "What did Ben discover?". And the last thing I got was like this: ME: "Ok, but at least tell me how Ben died", EB: "He drowned", ME: "How did Ben drown?", EV: "THE MASK DROWNED HIM" (it didnt use capitals. im using them to express how shocked i was by that reply lol)
+soc ger UPDATE 2: Ok, fuck, Im updating again cuz im getting obsessed with this shit. And i always thought creepypastas were lame... I kept chatting with Eviebot and I got some very interesting answers that say so much about this story (it also mentioned "Jeff's knife", jeffrey woods and liu woods, and the Plague Doctor and SCP-050). Some parts really gave me the chills because I was thinking she was giving me random answers and all of sudden I got a really clear answer, or one of the times the bitch told me Ben was right behind me, or theres a part where she starts answering questions in the first person like if she was really Ben, some other times it acted like i was Ben. Creepy.
ME: "Why did the mask drown Ben?" EB: "They drowned me to bring me to the moongoddess", ME: "Are you Ben?", EB: "They drowned me"
Later---> ME: "How old were you when they drowned you?", EB: "I was 3 when they died.", ME: "Who did?" EB: "Like me, just 30 years older with darker hair and darker eyes"
Just a bit after --> ME: "why did the mask kill ben?", EB: "Why did they take your eyes?" ME: "Who took my eyes?", EB: "The Moonchildren" (when it gave me this reply i had to stop for a few seconds, i swear..), ME: "When did the moon children take my eyes?" EB: "The moon children took my eyes", ME: "what for?" EB: "So I could see" ME: "what did you see?", EB: "Why are you asking?"
Later -> ME: "Ben, what did you discover in the game?", EB: "My best friend hurts me..." ME: "Who is your best friend?" EB: "Why do you have to know my best friend?" ME: "Im curious", EB: "Curiosity killed the cat", ME: "Ill risk it", EB: "Are you sure about that?"
Now it gets interesting----> ME: (answering to her nonsense) "If you tell me about Ben", EB: "He drowned", ME: "How?" EB: "His father and the moon children".
Another one---> ME: "Where is Ben?", EB: "I dont know. In game, probably." ME: "Alive?", EB: "Alive as ill ever be", ME: "What happened to Link?", EB: "Haunted Majora's Mask", ME: "Is Link dead?", EB: "Yes. Murdered."
Next--> "Why was Ben drowned?", EB: "His father drowned him because his father hated him", ME: "Tell me about Ben's father", EB: "He was murdered", ME: "By whom?", EB: "Majora". (although later on, and it might have been a random answer that had nothing to do with the creepypasta, it answered like this: ME: "Who killed Ben's father?", EB: "He killed himself", ME: "How?", EB: "Running in the pool")
Also the creepy--> ME: "How did Ben die?", EB: "Your father drowned you", ME: "Im not Ben", EB: "Who are you then?"
And finally the last part worth telling---> EB: (out of nowhere, i swear) "They took your eyes", ME: "Im not Ben", EB: "Who is the old man?", ME: "Which one?", EB: "The old man that sold the game cartridge" (didnt really sell it but thats what EB said), ME: "majora's mask?", EB: "Did Majora's mask kill Ben?", ME: "I ask the questions. Did Ben play the game?", EB: "Everyone plays the game", ME: "Who killed Ben and why?" EB: "His father"
And thats as far as I got.
+soc ger - Did you really need to tell us about the multiple same replies that you got. Like, did you really need to tell us that the bot told you that the "father killed Ben" 26 different times. (I know I'm exaggerating a bit, but you really didn't need to put that same reply many, many times. Could have done with just saying it once.) I enjoyed the read, don't get me wrong but half of your "updates" were the same damn replies that we really didn't need to read again. Or just like when you said "Now it gets interesting" yet nothing after that statement was really that interesting at all. You wrote like a whole chapter about something you could have put into just one paragraph. Sorry for the hate rant, like I said I enjoyed reading the responses, it's just that the multiple same responses that were supposed to be "Interesting" were just getting annoying.
GrayPhantom hahaha im sorry. but you have to understand it is not like the bot gives you straight away answers about the creepypasta. you must have a very long conversation with the bot replying to their bullshit, and in order to make them talk about this, you must ask things about link and ben over and over and over in different ways. thats why my questions seemed to be all the time the same. but if you take this like an investigation to know what really happened (that was the way i was interrogating the bots), then it all got interesting when some things started making sense. who was really the killer? ben´s father? the moonchildren? and there is more that was left very unclear, like: whats the relation between link and ben? who was the old man? where ben´s eyes taken? metaphorically or literally? in game or in real life? and a long etc. but the main mysteries were solved. the only problema is cleverbot sometimes denies what he previously said, so its difficult to know for sure whether he lied or not (when talking about the creepypasta i mean)
Zelda majoras mask theme is about depression and over coming it. Ben is a representation of someone who could not overcome it. He *drowned*
Fellow game theorist i see....
flyersfan283 WOOH GO GAME THEORISTS
Hunter Stonebridge Boby Jj YEAH!
Game Theory!
A GAME THEORY!!l
Matthew santoro, great job pal for leading me here. -.-
What do u mean
This is my favorite creepy pasta, it's not try hard or ridiculous as many + there are the receipts (video footage) to make it realistic
This guys voice isn't making it creepy enough.
TriN JORDyN Yeah he has a real "Dracula" vibe going on
Lol, the last bit...I jumped for a second since my name is Matt....When my name just appeared on the screen...yeah, lol.
dude.. same exact thing for me..
I would've jumped as well..
Did anyone else notice the extra BEN statue at 22:25 on the wood stump on the right? Strange... Hmmm... EDIT: And again on the upper ledge at 29:08!
+Oscar Jenkins that is strange i wonder BEN may be trying to find himself a new body... maybe... torturing... lots... of... people... at... once... that is why there is no one in clock town! i am dying with shock now...
+Attack on the Titans Interesting theory, I like it
+Oscar Jenkins thanks
saw it
saw it
My heart is racing. That was the scariest story I've heard in a long time. The next time my friends come over we are listening to your story. I sorta thought that he would be stuck in the game forever. I think The old man put Ben in the game, played with him and made him drown. And so he sold it to the author because he knew Ben would some how come after him. So when the Author opens the game Ben probably thought the old man was playing. So instead he was haunting him. Then he himself made the game switch Ben and Links names and when he deleted the Ben file it deleted him but he somehow went into the link file so he made it show blank. Ben probably thought that the old man was deleting his file to get rid of the madness. So he was trying to tell the old man, "You can't escape". But then at the end of all this Ben realized that this wasn't the old man. And he finally realized... That he was dead, and he had to except it. What do you guys think?
When the "Ben" file was deleted, there was a Blank Space? Seems pretty SWIFTy to me
