The Internet, in its vastness, hides secrets in such hidden nooks and crannies that it is challenging to reveal some without the help of an indicator. These indicators can be found on forums in Reddit, or they can even pop up in your recommended videos on YouTube, as well as, of course, an article where I point out these corners with their exact addresses so you can have a long list of creepy videos and a little bit of context.
In this top, I will accompany you on this macabre and disturbing journey to find what I believe is the most disturbing footage on the web.
Number 10
We start on the surface. While somewhat unknown to current generations, this mini-series terrified not thousands but millions back in the 2000s with its twisted sense of humor, including scenes and situations that are hard to forget.
Our favorite creepy green guy, an Icon of internet horror
Salad Fingers is a Flash animation series created by David Firth in 2004. It was popularized in Newgrounds, a website that used to be huge back then, where people shared games and this type of Flash animation. However, many had a dark and twisted character; the undisputed king in this dark realm was, without any doubt, Salad Fingers.
Its first chapter, “Spoons,” shows us the character whose name has the series: Salad Fingers, a green and creepy creature with elongated and scraggly fingers, rotten teeth, and a degenerate look, which gives us a clue of the madness that hides behind his eyes. We can see that the world is destroyed, as if it were a post-apocalyptic land or perhaps a dimension of horror in which this monster dwells, with destroyed houses, zero vegetation, and mutilated and crazy secondary characters that seem to come out of the most feverish nightmares of David Firth.
As the episodes go by, you will realize that beyond those “simple” creepy situations, this twisted main character hides something much darker and more profound than we can see at first glance. There are hundreds of theories and hypotheses about the series, who Salad Fingers is, and why the world is so lonely. However, the creator has never given a concrete answer.
Watching Salad Fingers throws you into an uncomfortable and lengthy situation, and you will feel your sanity suffer with every minute. I’ve included a solid number 10 to show you I’m not joking with this top.
Number 9
We are still in Internet Virals, but little by little, we are going to dig down to the catacombs of this top. In this position, we have Don’t Hug Me, I’m Scared, another mini-series with a seemingly more harmless theme, but that is not the case.
In its first episode, our main characters are pretty bored, sitting around with nothing relevant to do, until suddenly, a notebook invites them to let their imaginations fly and indulge in creativity while singing a children’s song that shows us from the beginning, not so innocent tones. Terrifying images and confusing concepts await you in this episode, which is just the tip of the iceberg (in this obviously not)”children’s program.”
The second episode, “Time,” still runs through my head despite all these years since its premiere, remembering my younger self and how I regretted watching it. I used to watch my bedroom ceiling, asking myself, “Why? why did I watch that?” The beginning of an existential crisis.
Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared has a visual section that is extremely careful and detailed, showing hard work and affection by the production, with a solid script and a story that is also encoded, not only offers a terrifying moment that may remain in your memory for years, but it will entertain you in its plot, leaving you open-mouthed with the characters and their progressions. At the same time, they slowly get closer to the truth.
Number 8
Let’s go one step up or down because a little deeper on the web; we can find a video that, to this day, has no explanation or sense, leaving us with an incredibly bad sensation. For reasons of lack of context, it was very difficult for me to position it at this top (which is not bad at all considering the hundreds of videos that we may have found on the web of terrifying characters) since its lack of logic makes it an enigma.
“Obedece a la Morsa,” which means “Obey the Lawrus” in Spanish, is a short, strange video in which a version of Ditsi Ditsi Spider plays and distorts as the video plays. This terrifying sequence leaves us with an uncomfortable image of… well, I’ll let you see it for yourself, as it’s such a short video that it would be a shame to spoil it for you. Enjoy its illogic and remember to obey the Lawrus.
Number 7
In this rank, we leap into reality, as this video is supposed to be something that happened.
Creppy Outdoors is a YouTube channel dedicated to exploring forests at night in the United States. The man who runs the channel has many videos in which he takes long walks in the dark and eerie forests, but none of his videos have him had a physical, recorded encounter.
This video is called Scariest Sound I’ve Heard in the Forest. It’s longer than the previous ones, which helps to create a dense and disturbing atmosphere, an atmosphere that immerses us with every step this brave explorer takes through the trees.
At some point in the video, we will hear that in the middle of nowhere, after having walked very deep in the Forest where no one should be, a female voice will be heard. I will not spoil what kind of encounter it was to motivate you to watch it if you have the courage.
There are several logical explanations for this event, but they refused themselves one by one the more we think about it.
Number 6
This place is a bit of a cheat, because although there is a viral video telling this mythical story, the original source is a book. But thanks to Alt Shift’s video, we can enjoy this story with a good narration and atmosphere.

What will humankind’s evolution look like in a million years? This is the question that All Tomorrows answers. In the distant future, humanity embarks on an adventure to distant stars and unknown realities, where each human exodus through the ages transforms into a new subspecies. Humanity has been scattered throughout the cosmos, and their old bodies are no longer helpful in their new environments, so over the generations, they mutate into creatures unrecognizable from what was once human.
But as a result of the massive exodus of humans throughout the universe, a superior and hideous race persecutes the offspring of the future, considering anything who is a human relative as a plague.
In this story, you will know the cruelest fates that humanity can witness and suffer, as well as endless hells of screams and wails lost in unknown distances.
Its artistic style, so bizarre and at some points depraved and grotesque, will make you feel disgusted with your humanity. It is a cosmic horror story in the style of modernity, virtualized in the womb of the Internet.
M. Kosemen created and illustrated this cosmic horror, which has spread across the Internet. The book can be found here.

Godmade Horrors Beyond Your Comprehension is a short and intense film in which ominous voices declaim a bleak and cryptic poem, images of desolation and misery in this black-and-white world born from the words of the suffering of all mankind.
This video is just the entrance to a channel of countless terrifying and unnerving videos, Burialgoods.
Godmade Horrors Beyond Your Comprehension towers above hundreds of thousands of videos that only dream of possessing this level of beauty and despair..
“Always singing, always hungry. Ever dying, never die.“
Number 4
We approach the podium with one last classic before entering the unknown world. A classic that represents the beginning of claymation.
Darkness, Light, Darkness is not a video of our era, but without the Internet, it would be even harder to know its existence.
It’s a short film about a hand looking for all the pieces of his body. It’s a disturbing animation with no jumpscares, and there is a philosophical meaning behind his uncanny valley.
Jan Švankmajer Is The Creator of this short Film.
NUMBER 3
The clock strikes 12.
I don’t want to give too much context about this one, because it’s the lack of information that makes it special. I’ll just say that it has disturbing images and vintage music, and that it takes place in Imperial Russia.
Analog horror gem.
Very disturbing visuals and gives you a deep feeling that you are watching something that is forbidden.

No comment on this one, just watch it.
Number 1
The Ricardo Lopez Tapes.
Warning: This video contains themes and scenes related to suicide, if you are a person with a tendency to be affected by these types of themes, I strongly recommend you not to watch it. Discretion is advised. Im not posting media (photos or videos who reference this I hope for your consideration)
We have reached the first place.
This is not a montage, not an animation, not something that could have been real, but something that was. That’s why discretion is recommended. In these videos, you will see the descent into the madness of a young man with an unhealthy obsession. It shows us the dangers of the parasocial phenomenon and how loneliness and bad mental health can destroy any human.
You will enter Ricardo’s life in his blog, where he narrates his sadness and obsessions sincerely. He will show you his macabre plans against the singer he’s obsessed with, Bjork, and his insatiable need to be part of her life.
Each tape is more catastrophic than the last. Ricardo gradually loses his humanity to the point that, in the end, all that is left is… well, is not pretty.
The last tape is hard to come by, so I won’t take the responsibility of posting it here. The last tape is undoubtedly the worst. I can’t take you there. I recommend you not look for it, but if you dare look for it, I will advise you not to watch it alone.
Well, I think that was wrapped up. This was Mr D. Thank you for Reading. I would love to read your comments about this suspect. Of course, if you have another video that you want to share, feel free to do it. I’m going to be happy.
