Brian Martin… The owner of Queen Ethelburga’s School, near York, has been sent to prison for three years and three months for non-recent sexual abuse of a boy and a girl.Brian Richard Martin, aged 71, of Ferrensby, Knaresborough, was sentenced at Leeds Crown Court today following a retrial for a sexual assault on a boy in the late 2000s that was first put before a jury in 2018.
this was phenomenal, especially how you wrote it. it's sad that people in power tend to get lesser sentences in the UK, for years of trauma for all of those kids who suffered at the hands of this monster. may those children one day find peace, even if the awful man is out nowadays. he really shouldn't be. 3 years for years of trauma. a life, trying to work out why this happened to them. i wish the best for everyone who was ever affected by this vile man. may he rot in hell soon enough. the way you wrote it, making it a longer story, a longer documentary made it all so much real, the ending breaking the illusion that this is fake, no matter how much you wish it was fiction. i hope they're doing okay now.
bro the end broke me. I'm sorry you and all those students had to go through this, even if you barely saw that guy it must be shocking to see this happening so close to you. Great job as always Brandon, thank you for always putting out long and high quality stuff for us. I wish I could support you on patreon bc you definitely deserve it. For now tho, all I can do is wish you the best and hope that you get a lot more attention from viewers. ♡
The twist is absolutely incredible. My heart goes out to every student who had to endure Mr. Martin and the general trauma surrounding those events. Thank you for telling us this story, even if it was with a bit of deception.
Only three years.... This story is incredibly sad and people getting off with little to no punishments for their crimes needs to end. People like these need to not be swept under the rug. Thank you for what you are doing Brandon.
WHAT AN INSANE VIDEO MAN. The ending had me shook, also HUGE W music taste, fucking love quad. Im sorry to everyone who had to deal with that sicko, 3 years is despicable
I had a hunch that you were the one sending the tapes because the name 'Em' is 'Me' spelt backwards but the ending actually shook me. I'm sorry that you had to go through this and I hope that you continue making these high quality videos for us.
You are one hell of a storyteller Brandon, that’s for certain. You pour your heart and soul into your work, and your documentaries are some of the best I’ve ever seen on any platform, let alone TH-cam. You shared this story in the way you saw fit, and you have succeeded in educating us about the horrors of Martin. Keep up the great work, the world needs more people like you.
BRANDON!!!! This was completely genius and totally heartbreaking at once. I’m so sorry you had to even come close to a monster like this. It’s incredibly sad how so many of us have been within arms reach of predators and have no idea until someone like you is brave enough to tell the story.
“Sometimes you have to trick people into listening to a story that would otherwise be forgotten” - BrandonFM You are incredible. I found your channel just days ago, and I cannot express how powerful your documentaries. Your talent for story telling is much needed in someone with your sense of justice in a world of darkness. Thank you
okay what the fuck brandon?? this is so damn good. the editing, the storytelling, the music and lastly the ending. honestly im just rendered speechless and the points you made on telling a story that would not be forgotten or swept into the dust. thank you for this, have a great day.
I also went to a school where some of the staff were child predators. It always sickens me how prolific this disgusting behaviour is in the UK. No child should have to live in fear of being taken advantage of. 3 years? People have done longer sentences defending people or property from armed thieves. I hate his country so much.
What a powerful ending. The entire video I thought something didn’t add up, why someone would go through such effort to tell a very dark story and send it to you of all people. Now it all makes sense. A really strong message about what it takes to get someone to listen to real events and care about them. Fantastic work as always, I doubt you’ll ever be able to make a video as meaningful as this, which for once is a good thing.
holy shit this went from intriguing to mind bending at the end there. The sort sudden realisation knowing what is was all leading up to. I'm astonished, I'm blown away and I'm sorry to anyone who has gone through that sort of experience. That hit too hard man, too hard.
society has largely been desensitized to the headlines and the articles, but those affected by sudden events continue to live on. the trauma and hardship created by such a monster is nothing to forget, which is why i appreciate you presenting a differing, almost more personal perspective. this is not just news coverage, this is something that i'll remember, and i know i wont be the only one.
there are no words.... my jaw genuinely dropped when you unveiled that bomb at the end. i honestly never expected that twist and i'm so sorry you were anywhere near that monster in your childhood. totally understand why you shared this story in the way that you did, absolutely impeccable. i would have never known about him or anything that went on there without you making this video - and i'm sure so many others wouldn't have either. i live in the uk and just turned thirty years old so actually feel surprised that i had never heard about any of this. amazing job in getting truth about such a horrific person and situation out there in a way that definitely draws the watcher in and forces them to listen and pay attention to every single minute detail. the thought of that man walking free after three years, walking free right now... sickening. i hope he sees this.
This just hit where it's terrifying. A few years ago there was a principle of a private art school who also worked in my middle school. When we had art with him he was acting very icky with some of the girls and tried getting as many of them to his art school as he could. Fast forward 2 years later and turns out he gets all of his scholarships and only is given 2 years probation(or community service) for 6 young girls, students who were.... yeahhhh it's as bad as you think. He still roams the streets he just cant work as a teacher and was not imprisoned entirely. Sad to see that this had happened elsewhere
I'm so glad I watched this whole video. Thank you, sincerely, for sharing this story with us and I feel for all the students that certainly did not get adequate justice at all for what this man did. 💜
The production quality on these is utterly insane. The dedication and artistry that must go into producing a video like this blows my mind, and it's fantastic that you're using your platform to spread awareness in such an engaging way. I hope I can produce content as well as you one day!
Of any sponsorship or ad I've ever seen in a video I've never wanted to support a channel more than how you presented. Your Patreon is the first thing I went to after this video. Thank you so much for all of your content.
i don’t usually comment on videos, but this was breathtaking and also heartbreaking. The way you make these videos, the way you tell these truths is just magic. wow.
Peds ruined a huge chunk of my childhood so I really resonated with this. Thank you for making this and speaking out about it. You continue to keep my utmost respect. The continuity in this documentary was fantastic.
This video has a slenderman feel whenever the videos are being played. It is so unnerving, yet exhilarating. It’s hard to fully describe, but it feels like this case can both be real and fake. It’s just creepy
To the small few of those who are reading this, I thank you for your time. As I have witnessed many, MANY of these types of events in my so-far short life, I can relate to the feelings that both the people and Brandon had to go through during their time. But in recognition to all those out there, including you, Brandon, I thank you for speaking out and preaching the cruel truth of what people do in this dark, dark world. Courage is a hard thing to muster in these times, and they only get harder as the days, no, years press forward. Those who have done the wrong-doings and the terrible acts against humanity always deserve a more severe punishment than prison. In my views, as someone surprisingly knowledgeable for my age, only 3 years is not long enough. Hell, jail might even be the best thing happened to him for his crimes. And to those of you who are pressing on to a better tomorrow that feels to never come, keep going. The best for all of us is waiting for us to prove ourselves that we are ready. As every inspirational poster says, hang in there.
THESE VIDEOS ARE ALWAYS SO HYPE KEEP UP THE WORK dude the ending was crazy like I was not expecting that I feel so bad for everything you and the other students had to go through. my dearest condolences brother
Wow. This was so well done. It's deeply unfortunate how you felt as though this was the only way for others to listen to a story so close to you. I can't say I disagree either - I probably would have never learned about this if it weren't for this video. It shows a lot of strength for having chosen to use your platform, talent and effort to shed light on the experiences of you, those close to the school, and the victims of his abuse. That strength goes out ten fold to those victims. Even as a content piece alone this was really well done, but as a documentation of history, it's videos like these that demonstrate the real, tangible value that art can convey.
I feel like this video is the reason why you're so passionate making these investigative-like videos to find the dark truth behind people because of your experience and knowing about this creep that deserves way more than what he got.
This is absolutely insanely enjoying to watch, your editing, your word preference, the way you tell such a tragic story, everything! You are incredible at what you do, and I hope for you to succeed and go far with this talent, you have this in the bag man
Such an unexpected ending. But man was it amazingly executed. So captivating and really made me just want to watch more. Like you need your own Netflix or peacock show no joke. You have true talent. I'm so sorry for everything you and your classmates endured at the school because I'm sure it was traumatic for everyone. But seriously keep up the amazing work your videos are way better than most the stuff coming out nowadays.
Thank you for sharing your experience and this disturbing story. Reality is sometimes worse than fiction. Protect our most innocent and out the dregs of society, always. 💙🕯
This is probably the best documentary I’ve ever seen. And the fact it was all created by someone who was there while all these things happened is truly inspiring. Last year I had a male counselor at my school. Me and everyone else who needed him spilled all our drama and emotional baggage onto him. He offered advice and help. And was supposed to make us feel comfortable. He turned out to be a pedo and had child corn on his laptop. I was disgusted. All these stories started surfacing of girls at my school who were minors have gross experiences with him that were shaken off as coincidence before. He was also only put in jail for three years. My school district has hired three pedophiles in the past ten years including him. And never have they gotten in trouble because they keep it under wraps. It’s awful. And they expect us to want to be at school and to trust them? This is why we need videos like this and people like you. Thank u ❤
I am so sorry that you had to experience this, sharing this is so brave and you did it in an incredible way. My heart goes out to everyone who was affected by Martin. Keep up the great and incredible work you're doing with these documentaries I personally wont be looking away anytime soon
Shocking ending. It's worth watching and words cannot describe the way you told this story and how peculiar the editing is. I would love to share this with my friends
best channel on all of youtube, the three vrchat docs are some of the best stuff ive ever seen and this is right up there. been a loyal patreon subscriber since the patreon went up, but recently departed my job and wanted to comment. thank you for everything you do brandon, and i pray youll continue making more content. i suppose everyone has a certain channel they like above all others, but this is the one for me. im not sure you coudlve made such great content without the awful demonetization thing - and i honestly dont know what to make of it, but i hope youll have continued support and find yourself making more videos/film. youre incredibly talented and entertaining. please do not give up on something that you enjoy and can earn money doing. stick with it. you got this my dude.
The fact that he only got 3 years is disgusting! Heartbreaking to the people the went through this. People like him don’t stop, and with a slap on the wrist like that, children are not safe with him out.
Brandon is a really talented person the way he edits the videos makes you feel like you are involved and experiencing it he always leaves you wanting for more and so intrigued I truly love this guy.
The first 4 minutes of this video summarized the entire thing through pure visuals. I am impressed at the disturbing images, intentionally degraded video quality, and attention to detail that can grip the audience and tell such a powerful and mortifying story of trauma and abuse by the ones you think will protect you. The corruption ran deep, uncovered, and now displayed in HD for all of us to view. Bravo
Fantastic observation! Not to mention how overtly it mentions that this is Brandon’s story, directed and told by him with the credits. It’s made clear from the start that this is his encounter he’s sharing with us, as nobody else is credited. Really nice touch.
That was absolutely amazing. So well done! I had literal chills at the end. Wow. I'm so sorry about the events described here, but so grateful for having the privilege of hearing this story.
i will forever thank you for shining light on cases like this its educational entertaining and informative. bless those poor kids who had fallen into the hands of that monster
I love this TH-cam channel so much, it feels like the story telling of a real person with real experiences and every one of rose story's he tells has an ending you can feel happy with.
im so sorry you had to deal with this. im glad you were able to tell your story, and share it with us. i hope you can recover, and i hope martin has something not monetizable happen to him. i dont blame you at all for hiding your intentions. keep it up, man. youre a true artist.
Brandon is such a genius storyteller, i actually look up to him in a weird way, i have an intense passion for music and artists like kendrick and tyler the creator, and film making which i can clearly see from his videos, brandon clearly has passion in making these videos and i feel like evey video i watch of him the more i have respect for him
I would have listened to your story, regardless of how you presented it. However, this was an incredibly creative way to express yourself. Thank you for sharing. I hope the people affected by brain martins actions are healing & safe.
This video was a rollercoaster from start to finish, which is why I enjoy your content. I knew what to expect going into this cause of your previous ones but... Wow. I don't even have the words for such an event. Thank you for telling your story and the stories of those that couldn't/haven't.
I enjoy watching your videos in general, they draw me in and are unique. They just have something others dont, maybe its the fact that everything has a purpose and intention no matter how small
I haven’t finished this yet, but I just wanted to commend you for all the effort you put into your videos! I really love long-form, essay-like videos like this. The editing was great, too - definitely added to the creepy vibe. 💕
Brandon, you have amazed me whit these documentaries! Quality is 10/10, cinematography is also 10/10. Keep doing the Gods work and I whish you the best of luck and to grow your channel even bigger!
I am in love with your videos its acc crazy, first video that just left me speechless and sitting there, appreciating the masterpeice i just watched for FREE ON TH-cam. This is just unreal man. Great work.
I hate to be *that* guy but I kinda predicted the ending a bit cause the fact that Brandon seems to have the explaination of the tapes detailed down to the finest bit. But DAMN that did not affect my experience to the whole video, you are seriously one of my favorite content creators. I hope you will continue to enjoy what you do and thank you for such good quality content my man.
Wow..that end got me..This was so well done,and he was right,we listened better because we thought it was just a simple game but it was reality. It's sad that he got a mere 3 year sentance but it's better then him being free,tho i don't agree that it should be justa mere 3 year sentance. Thank you so much for making this.
You are an incredible person with immense skill. I'm so glad I found your channel, and thank you for sharing this story in a way that makes it so that people will care. I think all too often people think this sort of stuff is "too dark" to speak about, and while it is dark, and can be triggering for many, it's unfortunate that few people bring light to subjects like this because of that. Thank you, Brandon.
Brandon deserves so much more subscribers. Highly underrated TH-camr. You make high quality and super unique content. I've never seen a TH-cam channel like this and you really stand out. Keep up the great content Brandon!
oh my fucking god, the storytelling was really moving in every way possible, ive never seen anything that wellmade and that touching EVER your content is so.... its more than just telling tragic stories, its the way you do it that im sorry i dont even have the words, you wow personnally i love watching hour long stories like that but the way you tell stories makes it a whole other level than just what i usually watch, this was phenomenal
I've never joined anyone's patreon from TH-cam Brandon's about to be the first one. The quality of these videos is beyond amazing, more so than anything else on this platform! These videos are the only way it get through my shifts at work
You have such a talent in aesthetics, writing your script, even the way you film. It's great that you used all those skills to share that story, only three years indeed, but you're telling the story , so no one forgets. Amazing video, amazing content creator, KEEP IT UP.
your content is truly beyond anything else on this platform.. you obviously put SO much effort into your documentaries to make them an experience, and after each one of your videos, you really have to stop and think about what you just watched. It is truly brave of you to come out and talk about your OWN experiences like this.. Thank YOU for making us enjoyable content that really makes us THINK.
Your video editing skills are on some next level shit & i love it. It became really apparent to me very quickly that you would be able to easily make netflix documentaries with the quality of your work that your doing. Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see what else you come up with.
Brandon, you create such beautiful and horrifying works of art. Your videos are truly incredible, from the story telling, to the editing, to the overall quality. I am amazed every time you post, and I am already excited for all future projects you may have. I wish you, and all other students from the school, all the best in healing from what these monstrous men did. You are a talent to be reckoned with.
You truly out-did the classics imo & I hadn't felt so immediately invested + excited like that since the likes of them. That - even more intense than the original - back rooms vibe hit from the very first and I can't wait to see everything & anything u create in the future i loved this so much
This has to be the best production quality on any channel, this was a magnificent demonstration of the effort you pour into your work. Keep it up, I can't wait for the next upload.
Wow, my feed showed this video a bit late but I’m definitely a subscriber now. This video is a new hallmark for the arg genre and really it’s beautiful how you use the ARG format to hook the listener on information that needs to be more widespread. It’s honestly revolutionary and a genius albeit a bit sad of a method. Stories like these should be known and never forgotten, but current methods of providing news through long-standing ways just don’t really do it anymore for a younger generation it seems. ARGs really seem like an effective way of making a long-lasting impression on people so using it as a vehicle to inform or remind audiences of such despicable yet important real-life stories is incredible. Thank you for this video, it truly is a masterpiece on this website.
This was an absolutely amazing video and the story was so dark and disturbing exponentiated by the fact that this was all real and that you were at the same school while the whole thing went down it's crazy hope you make more amazing content like this

My school district has hired three pedophiles in the past ten years including him. And never have they gotten in trouble because they keep it under wraps. It’s awful. And they expect us to want to be at school and to trust them?
This is why we need videos like this and people like you. Thank u ❤
I am so sorry that you had to experience this, sharing this is so brave and you did it in an incredible way. My heart goes out to everyone who was affected by Martin. Keep up the great and incredible work you're doing with these documentaries
I personally wont be looking away anytime soon
Shocking ending. It's worth watching and words cannot describe the way you told this story and how peculiar the editing is. I would love to share this with my friends
i already fell in love with the editing, but putting a quadeca song in there was just icing on the cake. keep up the good work man
I love these documentaries these are absolutely well made, and seeing the effort you put in its pretty high quality!
best channel on all of youtube, the three vrchat docs are some of the best stuff ive ever seen and this is right up there. been a loyal patreon subscriber since the patreon went up, but recently departed my job and wanted to comment. thank you for everything you do brandon, and i pray youll continue making more content. i suppose everyone has a certain channel they like above all others, but this is the one for me. im not sure you coudlve made such great content without the awful demonetization thing - and i honestly dont know what to make of it, but i hope youll have continued support and find yourself making more videos/film. youre incredibly talented and entertaining. please do not give up on something that you enjoy and can earn money doing. stick with it. you got this my dude.
WE'VE BEEN TRICKED! WE'VE BEEN BACKSTABBED AND QUITE POSSIBLY BAMBOOZLED! I'm not even mad about it though. Shit was well done.
I absolutely love the documentaries you make, nicely edited, and keeps my attention
The fact that he only got 3 years is disgusting!
Heartbreaking to the people the went through this.
People like him don’t stop, and with a slap on the wrist like that, children are not safe with him out.
I love your very late 90’s/early 2000’s aesthetic. I haven’t seen someone rocking that combo of hoodie and pants like those since middle school
All names this video had
"The Martin files"
"A boarding schools worst nightmare"
"The untold story of Mr Martin"
Brandon is a really talented person the way he edits the videos makes you feel like you are involved and experiencing it he always leaves you wanting for more and so intrigued I truly love this guy.
I have no clue how you don’t have millions of subs these are literally some of the best made videos I’ve seen in my life
The first 4 minutes of this video summarized the entire thing through pure visuals. I am impressed at the disturbing images, intentionally degraded video quality, and attention to detail that can grip the audience and tell such a powerful and mortifying story of trauma and abuse by the ones you think will protect you. The corruption ran deep, uncovered, and now displayed in HD for all of us to view. Bravo
Fantastic observation! Not to mention how overtly it mentions that this is Brandon’s story, directed and told by him with the credits. It’s made clear from the start that this is his encounter he’s sharing with us, as nobody else is credited. Really nice touch.
That was absolutely amazing. So well done! I had literal chills at the end. Wow. I'm so sorry about the events described here, but so grateful for having the privilege of hearing this story.
That plot twist is crazy
i will forever thank you for shining light on cases like this its educational entertaining and informative. bless those poor kids who had fallen into the hands of that monster
Was not expecting a Brandon FM vid today. I know what I'll be doing as soon as I get out of work.
I love this TH-cam channel so much, it feels like the story telling of a real person with real experiences and every one of rose story's he tells has an ending you can feel happy with.
im so sorry you had to deal with this. im glad you were able to tell your story, and share it with us. i hope you can recover, and i hope martin has something not monetizable happen to him. i dont blame you at all for hiding your intentions.
keep it up, man. youre a true artist.
that ending. how dare.
this was incredible, quality is as great as ever! 3 years is fucking insane
Brandon is such a genius storyteller, i actually look up to him in a weird way, i have an intense passion for music and artists like kendrick and tyler the creator, and film making which i can clearly see from his videos, brandon clearly has passion in making these videos and i feel like evey video i watch of him the more i have respect for him
This channel makes the sort of content I've been missing. Raw, yet high effort and intelligently put together. Props to you mate.
This was incredible. My heart goes out to everyone that POS hurt. Beautifully done.
I would have listened to your story, regardless of how you presented it. However, this was an incredibly creative way to express yourself. Thank you for sharing. I hope the people affected by brain martins actions are healing & safe.
that part that was like the kim and jimmy montage from better call saul was so good. genuinely excited to watch more of your videos.
This video was a rollercoaster from start to finish, which is why I enjoy your content. I knew what to expect going into this cause of your previous ones but... Wow. I don't even have the words for such an event. Thank you for telling your story and the stories of those that couldn't/haven't.
I enjoy watching your videos in general, they draw me in and are unique. They just have something others dont, maybe its the fact that everything has a purpose and intention no matter how small
Wow I am shocked at how underrated this channel is. I'm so sorry to all of those children
FINALLY HE'S BACK
Poggers
only took him four months bro💀
@@porcelaints fr 💀
time to watch another hour of quality content.
I haven’t finished this yet, but I just wanted to commend you for all the effort you put into your videos! I really love long-form, essay-like videos like this. The editing was great, too - definitely added to the creepy vibe. 💕
Damn that shit like be hiting like a good movie, nice work you really are a really good writter and editor fr
Brandon, you have amazed me whit these documentaries! Quality is 10/10, cinematography is also 10/10. Keep doing the Gods work and I whish you the best of luck and to grow your channel even bigger!
I am in love with your videos its acc crazy, first video that just left me speechless and sitting there, appreciating the masterpeice i just watched for FREE ON TH-cam. This is just unreal man. Great work.
this video is so cool and the storytelling is great! loved the IDMTHY snippet
I thought I went crazy in the middle hearing the Quadeca snippet until I checked the description and saw he was credited 😅
I hate to be *that* guy but I kinda predicted the ending a bit cause the fact that Brandon seems to have the explaination of the tapes detailed down to the finest bit. But DAMN that did not affect my experience to the whole video, you are seriously one of my favorite content creators. I hope you will continue to enjoy what you do and thank you for such good quality content my man.
Babe wake up Brandon fm posted
I LOVE you editing style so much. I watched the whole video and I never got bored! Great great job
Wow..that end got me..This was so well done,and he was right,we listened better because we thought it was just a simple game but it was reality.
It's sad that he got a mere 3 year sentance but it's better then him being free,tho i don't agree that it should be justa mere 3 year sentance.
Thank you so much for making this.
You are an incredible person with immense skill. I'm so glad I found your channel, and thank you for sharing this story in a way that makes it so that people will care. I think all too often people think this sort of stuff is "too dark" to speak about, and while it is dark, and can be triggering for many, it's unfortunate that few people bring light to subjects like this because of that. Thank you, Brandon.
Absolutely amazingly constructed video.
Brandon deserves so much more subscribers. Highly underrated TH-camr. You make high quality and super unique content. I've never seen a TH-cam channel like this and you really stand out. Keep up the great content Brandon!
oh my fucking god, the storytelling was really moving in every way possible, ive never seen anything that wellmade and that touching EVER your content is so.... its more than just telling tragic stories, its the way you do it that im sorry i dont even have the words, you wow personnally i love watching hour long stories like that but the way you tell stories makes it a whole other level than just what i usually watch, this was phenomenal
I've never joined anyone's patreon from TH-cam Brandon's about to be the first one. The quality of these videos is beyond amazing, more so than anything else on this platform! These videos are the only way it get through my shifts at work
You have such a talent in aesthetics, writing your script, even the way you film. It's great that you used all those skills to share that story, only three years indeed, but you're telling the story , so no one forgets. Amazing video, amazing content creator, KEEP IT UP.
His storytelling is on another level. This is the type of content the world needs to see
your content is truly beyond anything else on this platform.. you obviously put SO much effort into your documentaries to make them an experience, and after each one of your videos, you really have to stop and think about what you just watched. It is truly brave of you to come out and talk about your OWN experiences like this.. Thank YOU for making us enjoyable content that really makes us THINK.
Your video editing skills are on some next level shit & i love it. It became really apparent to me very quickly that you would be able to easily make netflix documentaries with the quality of your work that your doing. Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see what else you come up with.
I"m here from BOZEs channel and saw you uploaded this... and wow complete twist at the end and I will now be binging the rest of your channel
Brandon, you create such beautiful and horrifying works of art. Your videos are truly incredible, from the story telling, to the editing, to the overall quality. I am amazed every time you post, and I am already excited for all future projects you may have. I wish you, and all other students from the school, all the best in healing from what these monstrous men did. You are a talent to be reckoned with.
Wow, what an unexpected ending..... I have so much to say with no words to use.
You truly out-did the classics imo & I hadn't felt so immediately invested + excited like that since the likes of them.
That - even more intense than the original - back rooms vibe hit from the very first and I can't wait to see everything & anything u create in the future i loved this so much
Love the use of the BCS Something stupid remix and intro inspiration!
This has to be the best production quality on any channel, this was a magnificent demonstration of the effort you pour into your work. Keep it up, I can't wait for the next upload.
This is one HELL of a twist. I'm so so so sorry Brandon. This video had me fucking crying by the end. This is horrific.
This isn't horror, this is just the average British boarding school
Wow, my feed showed this video a bit late but I’m definitely a subscriber now. This video is a new hallmark for the arg genre and really it’s beautiful how you use the ARG format to hook the listener on information that needs to be more widespread. It’s honestly revolutionary and a genius albeit a bit sad of a method. Stories like these should be known and never forgotten, but current methods of providing news through long-standing ways just don’t really do it anymore for a younger generation it seems. ARGs really seem like an effective way of making a long-lasting impression on people so using it as a vehicle to inform or remind audiences of such despicable yet important real-life stories is incredible. Thank you for this video, it truly is a masterpiece on this website.
This was an absolutely amazing video and the story was so dark and disturbing exponentiated by the fact that this was all real and that you were at the same school while the whole thing went down it's crazy hope you make more amazing content like this
You don’t make videos, you make documentaries. These are some of the best TH-cam videos I’ve came around.
My guy you are incredible. VR Videos or not, every video you do is 🔥
Your content is incredible as well! 😊
