The 2006 Volleyball Incident

The "2006 Volleyball Incident" refers to a supposed mass shooting during a high school volleyball game in either South Dakota or Nebraska in 2006, where a gunman allegedly killed 14 people. Despite claims of remembering the event, no official records, news articles, or casualty reports exist online. The only initial evidence was a still frame from a supposed home video dated September 27, 2006.

SomeOrdinaryGamers, a YouTuber, discovered gruesome images on a 4chan-like site depicting a bloody school gym, allegedly taken after the shooting. The images had "CBI not for release" in the bottom right corner.

Theories surrounding the incident include:

Government Cover-Up: The government was trying to assassinate someone at the game, and the resulting deaths were covered up to avoid public backlash.
Mandela Effect: A collective misremembering of an event, possibly influenced by the Platte Canyon High School hostage situation on September 27, 2006, in Colorado, where one student died.
Hoax: A deliberate fabrication, as suggested by a 2017 forum post discussing the creation of fake school shooting incidents.

The origin of the images and the truth behind the incident remain unknown.

Grave Robbing for Morons

"Grave Robbing for Morons" is a disturbing VHS video uploaded to YouTube in 2014, featuring a young man detailing how to rob graves and sell the remains. The man in the video demonstrates how to remove a skull, advising to "grab it by the eyes or the nose" and warning against pulling it by the teeth.

The video's authenticity is debated, with some believing it's genuine footage of a grave robber, while others consider it a horror short. The video is likely from around 1989, based on the presence of a 1987 Evil Dead 2 VHS box and a July 1989 issue of Horror FX magazine.

The man in the video almost reveals his full name, saying "Okay, this was made by... by Anthony... well, as a matter of fact, let's forget the last name." This led to speculation that he might be Anthony Kasamassima, who was arrested in 1999 for stealing a stained glass window from a cemetery. However, Kasamassima's age at the time of his arrest doesn't align with the young appearance of the man in the video.

Another theory suggests the man could be Craig A. Bradley, arrested in 1995 for stealing human remains. However, Bradley doesn't have the stutter present in the video. The identity of the man and the video's authenticity remain a mystery.

Strange Sounds in the Sky

Reports of "Strange Sounds in the Sky" include metallic screeching and low-frequency hums. The low-frequency hum has been linked to severe distress, even suicide.

Possible explanations for these sounds include:

Easily Debunked Sounds: Metallic screeching could be from trains, and trumpet-like sounds could be from malfunctioning tornado sirens. Some videos are outright faked.
The Bristol Hum: A persistent low-frequency hum reported in Bristol, England, in the late 1970s. French scientists suggested it might originate from ocean waves vibrating the ocean floor.
Psychosomatic/Stress-Related Phenomenon: Hypersensitive ears, early signs of hearing issues like tinnitus, and increasing levels of anxiety and stress could contribute to the perception of the hum.

While some reports are likely explainable, many remain unexplained, and a concrete answer is unlikely.

John Lang, Fresno Police

John Lang, a former Marine, posted videos on YouTube in 2015 and 2016, claiming he was being stalked and harassed by the Fresno Police Department (FPD) in retaliation for his criticism of their budget allocation. He posted videos of suspicious vehicles and individuals near his home, claiming they were plain-clothed officers and that a van was using thermal imaging to determine if he was home.

In January 2016, Lang expressed fear of assassination. Shortly after, he was found dead in a burning home with multiple stab wounds. Initial reports mentioned stab wounds on his back, but the coroner's report only mentioned self-inflicted wounds on his chest.

Theories surrounding his death include:

Assassination by Fresno PD: The initial reports of back wounds fueled suspicion of police involvement, given the FPD's reputation for corruption.
Mental Illness and Suicide: Lang's paranoia, turning off his cameras, barricading his home, and the presence of a knife in his last recorded footage suggest a deteriorating mental state and possible suicide.

The case remains closed, and the truth behind Lang's death is still debated.

Evil Stick

The "Evil Stick" is a children's toy wand purchased in 2014. The wand featured the character Sakira Kinomoto from Cardcaptor Sakira on the packaging, but was a bootleg version. The wand had a foil covering a disturbing image of a woman slitting her wrist. When activated, the wand played a haunting laugh and illuminated the disturbing image.

The image was traced back to the work of French photographer Rer Butcher Ludwig. The toy was manufactured in China, but the manufacturer's name was not on the packaging. The incident raised concerns about the hidden dangers in cheap children's toys.
