CTRL+F WILL CLOSE DIABLO AND THEY WILL STEAL YOUR GEAR, DON'T LISTEN TO NONSENSE

Hey man, if you hold Alt and type Queen you can unlock an easter egg where you see Kerrigan nude!

"I know how to dupe. It's legit. Go to this corner hold alt and press f1 f2 f3 etc. Go all the way until F10, and it will all be in your inventory again as well as on the ground." Sadly this worked on almost everyone I met in Diablo II. I used that trick commonly, but I realized stealing accounts would be more useful.
I would befriend people and get to know them well enough to guess their password, and if that failed (rarely) I would just find their biggest insecurity and feed. Normal method for me was to give them a slight superiority complex by always talking them up and myself down (I've found that when males do this it can create that). I eventually would get really down on myself (Start about my char sucking and sprinkle in "Real life" problems as well) and hint I wanted to try their class, and eventually propose to play each-other's characters. Change their password immediately, and promptly change mine quickly after (there is the risk they could have taken mine, but I've had it happen.).
I hear they put in a password recovery system that emails you your password as almost all modern games have. That's incredibly useless though due to password reuse in most cases. I stopped playing Diablo II long before that, but I stole about 30 accounts by the time I was done.
I developed morals since then, and I'm sorry I ruined a great video game for so many people.

Great, now they'll find your post instead, because you said mirror.

The video's in Spanish, I guess we could say espejo.

Thank you, I should have checked the comments before tracking it down myself. The host of the video linked to here is pretty slow and was unable to skip ahead to the action.
14
How do you know it's the same clip?
14
The clip hung in the first few seconds but I recognised it as the Spanish TV show "El Hormiguero", so I did a Google search for cámara oculta hormiguero niña pasillo (hidden camera "hormiguero" girl corridor) and found the Youtube clip.

Your google-fu has increased by 1.

Thanks for that, when I couldn't skip them setting up cameras/talking foreign languages I came here looking for that. OP should have used it, I thank you greatly, and upvote you to the best of my abilities. Thanks for making my reddit playtime a happier playtime.

How'd you find it if the video didn't work?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myIgUAi7a_8 I thought this was the video that was posted.. I was wrong!

Anyone else think that last woman was totally going to boot the girl as far as she could if that other lady hadn't come out?

"Venid a mi, hermano!"

Who the hell is this "Hermano" anyway?...
196
I took four years of Spanish!
43
right mon frère?!
34
Me?
8
I'm his brother! Brothero!
7
Well, sounds like Hermano is about to get his ass kicked.
5
Yeah, like the guy in the $6,400 suit is gonna listen to the dead girl standing in a hallway. COME ON!
5
Hey, brother.
3
I think it's some kind of a spaceship...
1
Ahn Yong's brother?
1
Oh, the memories of that show are flooding back. I must go watch it again.
1
iVen aqui, hermana!
That makes way more sense. Venid would be used only in Spain and would refer to at least two people.
3
[deleted]
1
Ooh, "venid". Fancy Spaniards... we just say Vení, us non elitists. What's next? "Vosotros"?
2
No, vosotros isn't "next," considering that "venid" itself is a vosotros conjugation. Also, "vení" is a vos conjugation, which is equally weird-sounding to many people.
2
venid? Is that the verb? It's not ven or venga?
1
"venid" is used in Spain, while ven is more used in Latin America, venga is used in both

Amigo, yo no soy to hermano.

Pana, no soy tu amigo.

The video is in Spanish, although the website is in Portuguese.

PORTUGUESE YOU RACIST!
Edit: I stand corrected, I didn't really pay attention to the talking, just chrome telling me to translate from portuguese. Plus I failed Spanish.
-35
It was Spanish. The video title was in Portuguese.
22
Snap....I'm a racist....my Spanish friend is not going to be happy with me...
-7
Even if it was Portuguese, that wouldn't have been racist.
6
Spanish.
Racist
2
Fail... but funny
1
I felt bad for the kid at the end - that lady probably scared the shit out of her. Someone (maybe her mom) right at the end of the clip comes out and comforts the little girl at the end.
Self-deprecating edit: It's at the end.
218
Wait, what part of the clip? Was it the end?
48
Yeah, watch when the lady charges at her - you see the girl jump back a little and then mom (or someone) comes out and comforts her while some other people on the crew presumably tell the lady it's just a hidden camera gag.
4
whoooosh
7
I'm not sure what they are saying but if you watch the clip in its entirety, it shows how much the kid jumps right when the last girl charges at her.
34
She just learned an important life lesson - karma's a bitch.
3
Karma's definitely a bitch for getting back at her, I mean, it's not like the girl thought up the idea, she was just the actor.
2
I think it was staff who had been put in place to protect the girl if anyone flipped out like the fat woman did.
2
I thought that part was pretty funny. Maybe if she hadn't been trying to scare people, I would have felt bad. Apparently the little girl is braver than the people she scared, as she did not shriek and run away.
1
Even still it looked like she was getting a kick out of scaring the shit out of people I know I would have.
-1
Fight-or-flight, she picked the first one eheheh
67
lol right.. "HOLY SHIT OMG GHOST" * runs straight at it *
76
Thats totally what I'm going to do when I see a ghost. I'm gonna charge at it and punch it!
10
And get covered in ectoplasm!
2
Burn it with fire!
2
Interestingly, so do black people (statistically, anyway).
Seriously, don't try these sorts of pranks on black people. You'll get hurt.
EDIT: The most interesting result of this is horror movie demographics. White people watch horror movies to be scared. Black people watch because they find the reactions of the characters so bizarre they're funny.
27
61
What made this better was that I knew what that was before I even clicked the link.
5
This is my favourite video ever. It makes me literally tear up at how pathetic the guy in the mask sounds when he makes his 'growl'.
3
Also relevant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aClcBmZfK9A - to the contrary
2
This is what I was gonna link to.
-3
so do black people (statistically, anyway).
Do you have a link to the statistics you referenced?
16
No.
EDIT: It was in a book I can't remember the name of. The horror movie thing was the primary point of the section, if anyone wants to try to find it.
2
I'm a 6 ft, moderately built black male who feels comfortable in a brawl and I still jump and scream and cover my midsection just like the white-folk (supposedly) do...but then I was raised in white neighborhoods where good street instincts were neither necessary nor learned by example.
When you think about it, the black comedians' standard criticisms of horror films ("bitch, why the fuck is you not runnin'?" and "why the fuck is you goin' in the basement anyway?") is actually very good urban survival technique.
9
I'm not white or raised with whites, but I don't think I'd react like the people in the video. I was mostly surprised noone asked the girl if she was lost or anything, I'd assume she's in trouble if I saw a little girl just standing there like that. Maybe the TV show people just didn't show the clips of the people who were concerned?
2
[deleted]
3
Yes, this is correct.
It's because epidermal cells that contain substantial melanin transmit signals to nearby nerves releasing "substance-p" in reaction to such stimuli -- this causes the post-sympathetic nervous system to take over and the victim of the prank usually reacts aggressively. Similarly, you shouldn't pull these kinds of pranks on brunettes or people with substantial freckles / and or moles. Albinos, on the other hand, should be fucked with constantly; it actually consoles them.
2
Exactly. At the end of the video they are discussing that people's reaction to fear is either to flee or to attack. She'd probably be one of the survivors in your typical thriller movie.
20
Then she need to work on her attack. Running at the threat with your hands in a 'tizzy scream' has never worked out for me, regardless of how many times I have tried this tactic...
97
how many times have you tried that?
8
I remember reading about some European tribe that would chant and sing loudly, while naked, and then charge at their opponents. If their opponents would flee out of fear, the attackers would continue the charge, resulting in a fight in their strategic advantage, with a fighting unit separated and discombobulated.
However, if the opposition did not flinch or bolt it in the other direction within a certain distance. The singing naked guys with swords and axes would halt the advance, regroup, and charge again. They would do this over and over until they got the results they wanted, Which you would think after the third charge, and you're the opposing force, your strategy just turns into letting the naked guys tire themselves out, then conquer them. I really wish I could remember what group it was.
6
It works on ghosts.
2
She'd probably be one of the survivors in your typical thriller movie.
I doubt that. People run from the ghosts in movies cause they can generally fuck you up.
2
Yes!! You can see the little girl shake and get scared. You even see the producers jump out to protect her.
60
yep sadly this girl wasn't so lucky. it's near the end.
52
I was hoping someone would link to that.
6
Ha, thats brilliant!
2
She wasn't going to boot her, she was going to kill the demon child in a screaming, panicked rage.
7
I don' know if she was going to attack or try to run past the girl. It may have been a "Shit, I have to get to my room, let's run through the danger zone as fast as I can."
6
I liked the part where the little girl flinched too. She was all like "Geeze lady calm down you scared the shit out of me!"
5
I came here to say this. That little girl came so close to getting punted through the fucking ceiling lol.
2
I'm left under the impression that she wanted to go through the ghost
1
I'm Chinese so I'll probably just walk pass her while looking down
430
I'm an American so I'll probably just shoot it with a gun.
453
I'm Indian so I'll probably just offer her a cup of chai and secretly think to myself what horrible parents she must have.
345
I'm a Canadian so I would ask where her parents are and if she's okay, and if she's unresponsive or acting strangely then I will call the authorities and wait with her until they arrive.
Then kill them all.
492
I'm M. Night Shyamalan and I think I'm out of a job.
260
I'm Jewish, so I would complain about her standing in the middle of the hall. It's a major thoroughfare.
140
I'm a T-Rex so I would stomp around and then bite her head off.
126
I'm English so I'd apologise reflexively.
118
I'm Egyptian so I would complain to my friends and family in secret while she stood there for 30 years, then organize a revolution to remove her through Facebook.
74
I'm spanish, i just change the channel
57
I'm Russian so I'll be drinking vodka.
28
I'm Finnish so I'd be too drunk to get back to the hotel.
28
With the blade hidden upon your person, like all Canadians?
19
[deleted]
9
Fucking Canadians. I FUCKING KNEW IT!
3
As a Canadian, you would probably tell her you're sorry for trying to use the same corridor where she is standing...
3
Correction:
Then kill them all on a greyhound
2
I really hope they edited out most of the people because they stopped to ask the girl if she was alright.
2
[deleted]
1
Because I don't speak Spanish, I didn't immediately get what they were trying to do. My first thought was also, "Why isn't anybody trying to help that little girl?"
I am also Canadian.
1
I'm English so I would ask her is she'd like a nice cup of tea and a sit down.
-3
I'm Pakistani so I'd probably just figure it was an Indian doing something stupid
5
I'm Indian so I'd probably just figure it was a Pakistani doing something stupid.
3
But wait, chai(чай) is the russian word! Take your sneaky hands from our chai!
4
It is actually Chinese.
In China there are a lot of dialects.
In one of them Tea is Chai, and in another it is Tea....
The Europeans met the guys who used the word Tea, while the Russians, Arabs, Indians, and mainly Central Asian knew the guys who used the word Chai.
4
I'm also an Indian so I'd probably shoot her with a bow. Then use all of the parts to build a casino.
1
I'm British so I'd offer her a cup of tea and a crumpet.
17
Before you turn her over to the workhouse for a worthwhile cash bonus.
18
Decreasing the surplus population?
2
*Dosh bonus
1
You don't build empires upon which the sun never sets without being a little bit ruthless.
1
I'm Irish, I't beat you up for being British and get drunk with the girl.
6
You guys are just mad 'cos we're stylin' on you.
2
Be honest. As a Brit, you would offer the girl sexual favors.
1
I think you'll find, good sir, that your "proof" is from a comedy sketch show written and performed by Americans.
1
................a lot...
2
I'm Filipino so I'll probably throw her back in a well and watch Cartoon Network.
2
It's comin' right for us!
1
If it's a ghost, it won't care. If it's someone trying to fuck with you, they deserve a little perforation.
1
Then run over it with your Walmart battery cart.
1
I'm a moose so I'll probably just offer her a trumpet.
1
I'm German, Russian, Irish, English, and Native American so I'd probably get drunk with her.
1
Well, obviously. What else are you gonna shoot it with, a knife ?? You're not a bloody Limey, are ya? Hell no.

I'm an American and I don't even own a gun.
"I'm a European so I'll probably just surrender" "I'm a European so I'll probably just have a spot of tea." "I'm a European so I'll probably just ride a train out to the country for a holiday on the weekend." "I'm a European woman so I'll probably just not shave, or bathe, ever." "I'm a European so I'll probably go online and insult America with snide untrue condescending remarks."
GTFO
-35
I own enough to make up for you not having one.
16
That's how you know that's not actually an American. Never mind the natural birth Americans who get their sidearm passed down as inheritance ... even immigrants get one in the welcome basket. Everyone knows that.
1
U MAD
8
LOL NAW I AINT EVEN MAD THOUGH
-15
I'm a butthurt American so I'll just quietly sob into my keyboard whilst secretly wishing that people would just love me.
7
I'm a redditor so I'll probably try to convince her that marijuana should be legal.
263
And that she doesn't exist because Atheists don't believe in ghosts.
141
I'm Swedish and that's how I would react.
35
Only if she says something first, since, in being Swedish, you don't go out of your way to make new friends.
6
You can't be cereal? This is erosterous!
1
"little girl, did you know you don't exist because ghost aren't real?"
little girl cries
24
I don't see how it is a requirement for an atheist not to believe in ghosts.
7
[deleted]
1
Agreed. I have only had one religious person get after me for not believing in God but granting the possibility of ghosts, but a bunch of atheists have.
1
Because there is absolutely no evidence that says ghosts exist. It's just as illogical as saying that gods exist. Go ahead and believe what you want but in the end you're taking it on faith.
0
Don't worry. The r/nosleep-ers will balance it out. We do the believing so the atheists don't have to.
2
Not believing in ghosts is not a requirement of being an Atheist, just not believing in God.
And even someone who doesn't believe in ghosts is likely to shit a brick if they come around the corner and see that girl.
1
Honestly after years of business travel I'd walk right past her, go to my room, sleep eight hours, then be on the plane ride home before it occurred to me she might be a little off.
3
Really I think the reddit answer would be
"I'm a redditor so I will take pics to reap her seemingly otherworldly karma"
1
You are Chinese so you would pass her at eye level.
78
I'm Portuguese. I'd probably think it's a hallucination because drugs are legal in my country.
38
decriminalized ≠ legal
2
Clearly you don't know much about the Portuguese legal system and the efficiency of Portuguese police officers. Cars park in the middle of roundabouts here and nobody cares, they just drive around...
0
I'm not disputing that. All I'm saying is that drugs are still technically illegal in Portugal.
2
Time to learn Portuguese.
1
I'm 12 and what is this?

1
I'm American so I would tell her to go haunt her own country.
11
I'm South African so I'll just rape her to cure my AIDS.
5
I'm German so i'd probably annex poland
5
I'm black so I'll yell "WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE THE GODDAMN GHOST FROM THAT MOVIE" and then hide until someone else comes and yell "DON'T GO OVER THERE IT'S THE GHOST FROM THAT FUCKING MOVIE WHERE THE HELL YOU GOING I TOLD YOU NOT TO GO OVER THERE WHITE BOY!"
4
I'm Dutch so it's probably my kid standing completely stoned out there in the hallway.
4
I'm a muslim so I'd probably marry her and cover her in a beekeeper suit.
3
I'm Jewish, so I'll probably just give her a loan
3
This is the best thread in a long time.
3
I am Russian so I would probably wonder what was up with the little girl when I sobered up a little next morning.
3
I'm Russian so I'll probably sell her into white slavery.
2
I'm Chinese so I'll ask her for some lottery numbers!
2
[deleted]
1
I'm Portuguese so I'll probably ask if her name is Maddie Mcann.

Well he's going to have to get in line if he wants a little girl! There is a waiting room over here, he just politely offered him a seat while he waits.

2
Yes, yes...epic failure. Funny how everyone assumed I was a "he", when I am not at all. Does that make it less creepy? Or no?
2
Depends. Are you hot?
1
Might want to keep that to yourself.
2
I would be interested to know if it's a cultural thing, whether Americans, or Germans would react similarly.
2
Just a matter of time till some American show steals this idea for their bit.
1
True story, someone dressed up a large barbie doll (about 3 feet tall, didn't even know these existed) like this with dyed black hair and put in in the middle of my street in front of my house. I went around it and walked up to it pretty cautiously because I was thinking "this is how people die in horror movies." I got it out of the street but it was certainly really creepy especially as I came up to it and hadn't decided it was a doll yet.
A roommate of mine took the doll when he left, so I can't reprank, but honestly, I wouldn't want to. Shit was too creepy.

Why on earth does no-one think to say, "Are you ok there? Are you lost?"

redditing at a McDonalds? how reddit of you

Brilliant

Or dead, or whatever.
1
Exactly. I'm sure there were several people who didn't react at all, or did exactly that. They just didn't get cut into the video, as those clips wouldn't be as entertaining.
22
It's best not to draw attention to yourself when you come across a restless soul of the departed, destined to roam the Earth for eternity.
241
Its best to stop being a superstitious fool because there is no such thing as ghosts.

Hey, what's wrong with candy corn!?

It's sad that one must automatically assume a person giving candy to children is a pedophile. I agree that it must be assumed though.
3
that's how people die in movies, and i'm black so that just increases my odds of death by demon soul by 90%, so no thanks.
99
Comment + username = instant karma win
28
There probably were a few but they weren't entertaining, so they weren't included in the video.
66
dont be that guy. its funny
41
Because everyone knows that in the horror movies that person dies first.
14
I wondered that. I mean a little shock maybe, but wouldn't you just assume she was lost or sleep walking? What's with the woman running at her screaming? Crazy.
Decent video though.
10
That's one of the reasons why I hate watching horror movies. I hate the idea of having irrational fear subside in my subconscious only to have it come out at extremely ridiculous times.

I am, but it has nothing to do with my distaste for horror movies.

5
they are a superstitious people.
1
Because the whole thing is fake, obviously.
1
BECUASE THAT'S HOW PEOPLE DIE IN HORROR MOVIES. THEY TRY TO BE NICE WITH THE LITTLE GIRL, THEN SHE KILLS THEM. EDIT: I'M USING CAPS BECAUSE I'M... RENDERING.
1
I don't think they speak english.
1
This would have been my reaction. WTF is wrong with people, but then again those type of movies don't scare me and I don't believe in ghosts/god/leprechauns/monsters. Now if I walked around the corner and saw John Carpenter's The Thing Transforming into some hideous creature.. I'd piss myself and run screaming like a little girl.
1
Kudos to the people going round her, if there was no other way round I would have slept in the lobby.
173
Kudos to the girl who freaked the hell out and ran straight at her while screaming for her life.
249
Kudos to the housekeeper who was like, "this shit don't phase me".
259
When the housekeeper appeared on camera the host said: Oh god, she's the scary one!!!!
183
I'm pretty sure she was thinking more along the lines of "that damn kid better not fuck this hallway up, I just cleaned it 5 minutes ago".
Then she quietly proceeded to schlick.
1
Um, the verb you want is "faze."
6
She could be a science fiction housekeeper...

Kudos to the adults waiting just a few feet away to protect the girl if that happened.

Yeah it looks like they stepped in to protect her from that last screeching woman that was running right for her.

Yes, that last one is the one we were talking about...

What about the girl who put her back against the wall and slowly slid past her? That was fucking comedy.

Slept? You're braver than me.
21
I would have asked where her parents were... then again I'm used to encountering little girls standing in the hallway trying to scare me.
1
You're used to little girls trying to scare you? You have my....confused....sympathies.
2
My niece could be Wednesday Addams' twin sister.
3
The stare down between the little girl and the housekeeper made my day. Also: I'm not going to lie, had I turned that corner and saw her, I would have had a brief moment of terror shoot through me.
143
I think I would have too. Though, I think I would be startled no matter who/what was standing there.
42
I'm really surprised more people, after the initial shock, didn't go try to help her.
38
It's almost as if they cut out the boring encounters and only kept the entertaining ones. But we all know TV producers would never do that.
136
TV producers are the most honest people in the world. Only a television producer would be brave enough to show us how tragic the lives of those who live on The Jersey Shore really are.
13
It's possible they did. And, like others said, they just didn't leave that in because it doesn't make good television.

If by 'moment of terror' you mean 'poop', then me too.

haha I would of stared at her for a couple of seconds, then run. Derp.

I would have been much more freaked out if it was twins holding hands.

The cleaning lady looks like she has seen little girl ghosts before.

What cleaning lady? The one who worked there before was killed some time ago in a freak accident.

No, it took her a moment to recognize that wasn't the same girl she had strangled before.
2
Imagine the horror, when the production crew found out later, the maid had recently lost her 8 year old daughter in a drowning accident.
2
I've worked as a janitor before. When you're all alone in the building and it's starting to get dark outside you get a little jumpy. I constantly thought I saw ghosts or intruders or something out of the corner of my eye, but eventually it stopped scaring me. I'm guessing this is what has happened to this lady.
2
The girl should have stayed perfectly still no matter what. And they should have had the walls dripping with blood.
96
Dang... Now that you say it, bloody walls is really a missed opportunity.

It's a larger metaphor of menstruation and a girl's journey to womanhood.

OH no. Did you read the Northern Ireland book, too?!

I think they should have gotten two girls to stand side by side looking straight ahead singing a young children's song with the least enthusiasm possible.
41
Dude, not cool. Almost shit myself imagining that.
8
Including when the woman screamed and ran at her? You have a high estimation of her courage under fire.
Anyway, I think some of the movement added to it by demonstrating that she wasn't just a mannequin or something. The swishing of her arms was actually kinda creepy.
23
i agree... she gave it away when she moved..
2
No. She should have slowly reached her hand out or pointed a finger at them.
2
I think the point was the expend the least amount of effort.
1
Hah. I played Eternal Darkness. Good game.

Bloody walls would have added a nice touch, but too much to clean up. You saw that cleaning lady...her job is probably bad enough already.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Runs towards scary girl

Yeah... that coupled with the smiles on a lot of their faces led me to believe this may be set up. Not very typical reactions.

I think hiring actors would be more expensive than waiting for unsuspected people to walk by.

Yeah, that was a "what the fuck, I don't get paid enough for this shit" look on her face.

TIL: Too many people believe in fucking ghosts.
67
Right. I wonder how an atheist would react if they walked around the corner. "... so, as I was saying, belief in the supernatural is an outdated... ARRRGGGHHH!!!! MOMMY!!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!"
103
Believing in gods and believing in ghosts are orthogonal.
23
My belief in ghosts disappeared at the same time that my belief in Christianity did twenty five years ago. Can't speak for anyone else but my reason for not believing in a supernatural Christian god is the same as the reason that I don't believe in vampires or ghosts. Of course the real test of whether or not I'm full of shit is to see how I'd react if I saw that girl in the hallway.
28
I don't believe in ghosts, but she would still freak me out if I rounded that corner. It's unexpected and arresting at first glance.
68
Of course the real test of whether or not I'm full of shit is to see how I'd react if I saw that girl in the hallway.
I disagree. Although I don't believe in the supernatural, horror movies about the supernatural still freak me the fuck out. That's not because I believe it to be true, but because when you start to watch a movie like that, your brain will go into some kind of 'freak out easily' mode, in which you are easily scared :)
20
It's ok to be rational and logical and still have an imagination, you know.
4
Yeah, I don't believe in a god but if I saw what appeared at first blush to be convincing evidence of one, I'd react accordingly. And if I saw this little girl in the hallway my mind would immediately jump to ghost movies and I'd have a momentary lapse into "holy shit that is legitimately a ghost". Even the most rational skeptics are prone to instinctual emotional reactions :P
3
It's weird that I still feel uneasy if a black cat crosses in front of me. And I also pick up pennies if they're heads up.
2
Pretty much the same with me. I dropped all my superstitions around the same time. I think that while not all people that identify as atheists deny all superstition, most do.
1
Believing in ghosts doesn't have anything to do with reflexes.
Anyone would probably have some reaction. Even the maid, although she didn't make any auditory or facial reactions, paused for a moment.
She was intentionally made up to look like the little girl from The Ring, with the hair all in her face - and lots of people are familiar with that image as one of horror.
If this were just a little girl with adorable pig tails, a yellow dress, and a bright sunny smile the reactions wouldn't be anything to write home about - but some would still be startled if she were just standing there like that.

Yea, I have friends who think they're atheists and logical and rational yet believe in ghosts too.
I call them "misinformed"
What is a "hard-lined" atheist anyway? Are you equating it to being similar to people who are completely convicted in their belief in God? Because it's seriously not the same thing.
If you require proof of existence to believe in God, so too should you require proof of existence of the supernatural. These are not mutually exclusive concepts. You should explain that to your friend.

1
Maybe startle. But probably try to figure out if the kid is okay, and where the parents are. Seriously, though, have people watched the Shining that many times? Fucks sake.
1
I would probably have a heart attack and/or shit my pants and maybe even yell "Oh my God!" or "Jesus Fucking Christ!"
And then I'd laugh my ass off.
1
Atheists would be more like "Hello little girl. Do you know your mommy left you out where YOU CAN BE EATEN?"
1
I imagine I'd be pretty startled if I saw the girl. I'd probably continue to be scared even after the initial fright. You don't expect it, you can't see her face, and I've probably been conditioned by scary movies to recognize the girl as not in a good place. I'd be a lot more likely to match that "pattern" to "something bad has or is about to happen" than "aww, that's cute". I don't think my fear would imply even a subconscious belief in the supernatural, I can think of a lot of things to fear that are perfectly natural. For example, she's hurt and in shock, she saw something and is in shock, she's sleep walking, she's crazy and is about to start biting, it's not a kid at all, but some fucked up little person hiding their face because they mean me harm.
1
I'm not saying it wouldn't startle someone. Anything out of place can be startling. The difference is what happens after the startle reflex dissipates.
The people shown in the video were adults, frightened of a child dressed in a "spooky" manner. An atheist would know, after initially being startled, that the thing before them had to be a child and, at that, a child lost in a hotel and separated from their care giver.
Whether or not the atheist actually helped the child is a a totally separate issue and more a measure of their character.... but it makes it radically harder to not help a child when you're faced with the reality that they are a child and not some spooky ghost.
-5
Er, an atheist can still believe in ghosts. And the afterlife. And flying unicorns. They just don't believe in a central deity.
I think you mean a non-religious person.
28
I'm pretty sure there are more self-proclaimed non-religious people that believe in ghosts than self-proclaimed atheists.
14
Non-religious means something very similar. The word you are looking for is "materialist". But honestly, there could still be ghosts even if they were purely natural phenomena, and furthermore there are definitely natural things that can kill you in horrible ways, so it's not like being a materialist will prevent fear. Basically ReverendDizzle is a unique combination of internet tough guy and atheism evangelist.
1
I think you mean a non-religious person.
I think you mean someone who does not believe in the supernatural, which would include ghosts with no religious affiliation.
1
Can not. "I don't believe in the Judeo-Christian-Islamic monotheistic god" doesn't mean a bloody thing. 'god' has many different connotations in many different places, and in a lot of those places the connotation isn't that different from ghosts and unicorns. And people who believe in an after life are either pathetic or DNDTR.
1
Lots of instances of this misconception floating in this thread.
Here's what ghosts have to do with god:
If you are "atheist" and do not believe in god (note: not "rejecting" or "turning their backs on" or any of that. i'm talking literal disbelief) they've arrived at that conclusion - presumably due to a lack of evidence.
There is no evidence of (any) god. There is no evidence of (any) ghosts. They do not exist. Same exact concept, different examples.
1
I suppose they could... but that's just retarded. What would they believe? That when we die our souls just float around bumping into shit?
I fully see your point, I just find it incredulous that a person who didn't believe in a deity would believe in ghosts or other nonsense.
-3
Emotional reaction can be stronger than rational, especially in the moment (even after the startle reaction).
7
Disagree. It's almost creepier if you know nothing paranormal is going on and she's just a seriously disturbed small child. That kid did not just look lost or separated from a care giver, she looked like someone who had possibly just murdered her parents.
6
Yes. I too think more in terms of real messed up shit instead of supernatural shit.
3
Right, because you could tell the religious beliefs of everyone in that video right? Moron.
2
Oh man, after I finished my first closing shift at work I left out the front door and hopped in my car, however the posts were up and I wasn't sure how to get out. I got out of my car, went around to the back entrance since that was still unlocked, some people were having a conversation and one girl had her back to me. I waited for them to finish talking before I was going to say anything. Then the girl with her back to me turned around and spotted me and screamed. It was the most horrifying sound I've ever heard, like she definitely thought I was either a robber, murderer, rapist or something. But yeah, she calmed down after she realized who I was.
TL;DR People think the worst when startled by silly things.
2
I would hope that I could rationalize like that, but I've seen way too many horror movies and played F.E.A.R. too many times with my husband (in the dark! Why?!) to not think that I was going to die.
1
I don't believe in ghosts or the afterlife, but that would freak me the fuck out.
13
TIL too many people watch bad horror movies. Without The Ring and others like that, this was just a little girl wearing a white nightgown in a hotel hallway.
4
Having not seen the movie myself, this would have been my first thought.
I have a 5-year-old little girl.
If I found a little girl standing in her night gown holding a baby doll all alone in a hallway I'd be running to help.
My first thought was not "ghost" but, "poor kid!"
2
Yeah, it was weird no one on camera did this. I assume the producers just edited it out for the funnier clips.
1
This was closer to the Shining than the Ring, and that is a great horror movie.
2
The Ring and The Shining...really?
1
I think he meant The Shining in terms of creepy girl in empty hotel hallway rather than straight appearance.
1
if you're thinking about fucking that ghost, maybe you should have a seat over there.
4
Doesn't help with all of the "ghost hunting" shows now-a-days. I refuse to believe in ghosts until some kind of paranormal activity happens to me.
3
I may be straight but I respect your right to have sexual relations with ghosts.
2
I think it's mostly just that a lot of people saw "The Ring" and when turning the corner in a hotel they definitely did not expect to see a girl who looked and was dressed similar to the girl from the Ring. That would weird me out too.
1
My take on "ghosts" is that they, if existing, are another lifeform like animals but not carbon based, perhaps some invisible form of matter. I'm not saying they do exist, but I can't deny them either. We don't know shit about the universe and its types of matter etc.
1
Would that be considered necrophilia?

Thanks! =) I hear if you hang around long enough you get... well you get something good.

Is this the reenactment of a scene in "The Shining"? Amazing how it has caused uncondtional reflex fear across so many people.
66
"The Ring" rather but yeah, you got the gist of it.
93
Kind of a combination. The character was from the ring, the scene was from the shining.
120
let's call it "the ringing" then
183
That's what my ears are doing now after hearing the last girl's scream of terror.
25
The Singing?

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!

Hello, hello? Is anybody there? Why the hell is there a ringing??? I'm so confused...I need to lay down
1
I prefer "The Shing".

REDRUM !! REDRUM !!
20
Then bass solo
3
When I read this book I was really young, like 8-10. I was convinced it was pronounced re-drum.
2
I thought it was The Grudge. But ur probably right.
1
Also some F.E.A.R. in there.
2
I think it's fair to say that The Ring borrowed this image from The Shining.
1
I ended up thinking of The Shining and Dark Water, which is much more twisted than The Ring.
1
I think it's just the archetypal scary girl/kid you see in those movies.
Most prominent one I can think of being The Ring. Though, sorta reminds me of Nightmare on Elm Street, Elfen Lied, Children of the Corn...etc
13
This character has been there since the beginning of time. It's a girl dressed in white with her hair down.
7
F.E.A.R. the video game too. why are little girls so scary?
1
uncondtional reflex fear
Well, considering that most of the people were adults it's quite safe to assume that they have once seen one of the many horror movies starring a scary girl in a white dress.
2
If this was done with two identical looking girls holding hands I would have turned and jumped full speed out the window.
2
It was pretty half-assed if that was what it was supposed to be.
1
Was the last woman there going to attack a child?
Because it sure looks like it. It seems that that's what superstitious beliefs do to you.
60
the female presenter was saying that when you are (or think you are) "in life or death" situations your instincts kick on and you either fight, flee or paralyze. The scared woman almost attacked.
47
I thought one of the instincts was also to initiate intercourse?
...Am I the only one?

I've always heard it as the four "F"s: Fight, flight, feed, and reproduce... leaves a little to the imagination on that last one...

When I'm horny and there's a girl on top of me sometimes I get paralyzed with fear. Then I roll up into a cocoon like an armadillo.

My theory is that the 'larger' people know that they cannot outrun anything, therefore try to eat the predator.

That was your plan, Ray? "Get her?"
31
I am an enlightened atheist and I would never be creeped out by anything ever.
9
It seems that that's what superstitious beliefs do to you.
How would you have reacted?
6
I wouldn't have gone to attack the girl.
5
Honestly? You can't know that for sure. Startle reflexes and fight or flight responses are wired in well below the level of conscious thought. Your hindbrain doesn't have time to dick around and wait for your conscious mind to come to a decision when there are fucking tigers and unclean spirits and rockfalls going on. It makes a decision and goes, then asks you for permission when it's all over.
4
Fair enough, but I know I certainly wouldn't have reacted rationally, and I'm sure most people wouldn't. Superstitious beliefs or not.
1
I wouldn't have screamed that's for sure. I just would have calmly walked back to the hotel lobby, told them "FUCK YOU!" and gotten another hotel room in another hotel, in another country.
2
I would have went, whoa, that's weird. And then went about my fucking day.
1
Wrong question.
-1
It's called Fight OR Flight. And your brain makes the decision of which to do very, very quickly, and probably doesn't ask for your input.
3
A reflex I could understand. Reflexively lashing out I could understand. It's happened to the best of us. But in the time it takes a person to run down a hallway, that person has time to reconsider and react more appropriately.
2
Instinct. Nothing to do with superstition. That sort of reaction happens before your brain has time to even process what it's looking at (and decades of horror movies have now imprinted the image of "girl standing still in hallway with hair down" into our brains' list things that are life threatening).
When you sense an immediate danger you will either (a) run (b) become paralyzed or (c) attack ferociously. You have very little control over it too. Many people who go into adrenaline rage mode later report it feeling like an out of body experience, or not even remembering what they did... your body is just maxed out on adrenaline and shit and your only goal is to destroy whatever is perceived as the threat.
THe girl's lucky the parents stepped out is what I'm saying o_o she could've gotten kicked in the face before the woman realized what was going on.
1
I thought this was going to be a video about people ignoring a lost girl for fear of being seen as pedophiles. There is a video of it somewhere.
53
This happens in Japan, except on trains and people are ignoring a girl who is currently being groped for fear of being seen as pedophiles.
4
They have someone grope a girl just for the test? That seems a little overboard.

I lost it when she got scared and broke character @2:03.
33
She's all of what, 8? She's allowed to be scared.
I wish I was still allowed to be scared.
33
Never said she wasn't. Was just funny to see her scare the shit out of everyone, which she probably got a kick out of on some level, when suddenly a screaming lunatic appears and gives her some of her own medicine.
11
You're still allowed to be scared. Anyone who says otherwise is a fuckwit and you should ignore them. Being scared is an important part of being human. If you're going up against some scary shit and you're not scared, that's when you should start worrying.
2
I'm terrified, it's just I'm an "adult" and thus not allowed to show it. Stupid social rules.
2
Either you can control your fear, or you can't. There's no social rule.

Well what do you expect? That banshee screamed her lungs out and then came at her, bro...
31
Well, I'd expect pretty much exactly what happened, I guess...

It's so amazing, because the way the girl moves her arms makes her look even more ghost-like.

Jokes on them, when someone reacts by drop kicking that kid in the face.
I've seen too many ghost/zombies movies to see what would happen if I assumed that she was just an innocently little girl.
Notice how quickly the handlers show up when the last lady screams and approaches the girl.
Screaming and going toward the girl seemed very contradictory to me.
"Handlers" struck me as funny for some reason.
They're probably like unneeded publicity and/or lawsuit NOOOOOO!!!
Who would win between random hotel guest and the creepy girl from the ring? There's only one way to find out....
FIGHT!!!
Handlers? It's a child not a cow.
In a similar Asian prank video, a long-haired girl waits eerily in a hallway in a white gown. People see her and react hysterically. One guy, after removing his stained underwear, gets angry and assaults the girl. Coward.

lol..first thing i thought..
Hey sweety..have you ever unblocked a U bend after mexican night in the restaurant..
I totally love that staredown... you know she's thinking "This is all you got?"
Damn straight. That was hilarious.
I saw an 'I'm gonna raise hell if you leave more bodies' going on in her eyes.
LIKE A BOSS.

I felt the maid's look was more like the immediate recognition of a dark evil enemy from a past life or another dimension.
It was the Gypsy Stare.
I love it because it's like she sees this shit all the time and has developed her own spiritual protocol. Skip floors, come back in a half an hour and the entity will be gone. Business as usual.
Or perhaps an ally. That look was a bit...knowing.
"That's odd....the scary white-linen clad children usually hang out on the second floor"
Damnit, wish I could upvote you twice for that one. Rare that I actually LOL!

Look I cant do this, I have an exam tomorrow. I have a godamn veterinary exam. God damnit. This is the bullshit. This is the bullshit.
Actually I thought that the maid had the look of sudden recognition that she had seen this place before, that sometime in her long-lost past when she was just a little girl she had been abandoned in this very hotel by her own mother who was a maid and had run away in a bizarre turn of events. As the woman stares on, the twist is revealed. She is the child.

The cleaning woman clearly screams "Oh my God, a ghost!" in an American accent, then runs off and tries to explain to her boss what she saw in broken Spanish. Her boss threatens to have her deported for causing trouble.
She was not impressed. She looked like she was sizing up breakfast.
"Yes, child of satan, do thy bidding" is what I imagined her thinking
I'd guess she's from other "class". She doesn't watch so much tv and if so she doesn't have time for (stupid) movies. It's just a weird little girl for her.
People are scared because popular culture taught them so.
Cleaning lady knows no fear!
I heard: "Christ, a fucking ghost girl." turns, walks away "I don't get paid enough for this kind of shit"
The maid part reminded me of this.
I thought the look was more like "Ah my old foe, we meet again."
"I need a raise", she thought.
