Anomalies: Hidden Haunted Apartment Gem 

It's quite clear how they pulled this series of. I'm actually surprised Night Mind didn't get it... They clearly hired a demon to work with them.

The demon picking up the camera was brilliant because: You can't hear a person picking it up, there's normally the scratch of fingers or something The camera was turned on before being picked up when a normal person would have picked up and then turned it on There's no hand actually opening the doors And my favourite, no footsteps. It's never mentioned but we all know that floor is ridiculously creaky.

Hypothetical: Steve is unreliable as a narrator both to us and Brendan. Sometime after weird shit started to happen he remembered the trap and the move-in-day incident, but wanted to see how far things would go and whether it was actually related. It was Steve, after all, who initially started keeping the record. This is why Steve is the target while Brendan acts as the host, Because Steve wanted to play the game so he's going to play the round until it's done. Honestly when I saw that he still had the trap in his drawer that was my immediate assumption. "This asshole knew the whole time!"

I like how Kyle’s friend with info about the supernatural just dips on these guys. Just went “Nah, I’m good B.”

That specific houseplant is, in my experience, incredibly hard to kill. Drought, extra water, leave on a basement stairwell while out of town, etc. Wonder if that was intentional.

Few minutes in and Nick essentially went “What’s better than this? Just guys being dudes!”

I like how the paranormal investigator/medium is just like "yeah, no, just move to a new flat"

Oh wow, the interaction with the *"Paranormal Expert"* was so funny. Guy was straight up: *"Nope, I'm out, and you should gtfo too."*

The blood in the bathroon could've been a call back to when he was sleepwalking saying "there's/was bleeding in the bathroom."

Honestly it's such a treat to listen to Nick giggle like a giddy schoolgirl over a series that's met his (high) expectations. Props to these guys, I hope they see this!

night mind and nexpo on the same day we blessed

I love the detail at 32:26 where there's no hand on the door knob, it's a really subtle thing that spoils the twist before you see it but at the same time you don't notice it until a second watch

It's a shame this never got any traction. The use of camera tricks and post effects in really simple and clever ways really elevated this series (despite the hopelessly orange blood). I feel like the knives and kill room in the "final" episode were seeds for later parts of the story, assuming we'd learn about the demon's horrible intentions. But even taken as just what's there, that was a pretty solid ghost story

you even gotta talk about the episode 12 sound design! When Steve or Brendan pick up the camera, you can hear their fingers on it. You can't hear the demon's though. I was so impressed with that detail

also can we address how clean that salt cross was? maybe it’s just me, but that was definitely a nice little detail. like it could have looked messy and half-assed but it looked absolutely crisp.

The knife thing is a whip pan. They do it several times before. They didn't need to have a 3rd person standing on the street. This doesn't take away from the talent involved though. Whip pans are still very difficult to pull off.

Everyone knows if you’re trying to get an unwelcomed visitor out of your apartment you ask them to pay rent, not to leave

Um legit thank you Shudder for sponsoring his video because I can’t find more than a 7 day trial anywhere! A whole month is a dream

Imagine if THESE guys had been in charge of Paranormal Activity. Found Footage could have been a respected genre!

the guys: make a star of david me: someone didn't do their homework! the guys: destroying the seal of solomon me: OH THE CHARACTERS DIDN'T DO THEIR HOMEWORK! thats smart

I could NOT read this title for a solid thirty seconds.

Ah, yes, in this time of quarentine, Nick will try to make us scared of... *opens envelope* Our own houses...

Guys: OMG my plants are mYstERioUsly dying! A gHOsT must be killing them, because I water them EVERY day! Plants: *drowning* Ghost: Wow, OK, I drop a book and now suddenly everything's my fault?

The real horror of the series is that sink full of dishes.

"My personal favourite, Roku" YES! having a remote AND ability to cast is such a godly thing

I am really glad all these web series that would’ve gone unnoticed are getting some attention. Even if it is a few years later

This is the story of my life with my one ear hearing. I hear loud noises, go to find them, but can't because mono hearing doesn't let me guess a direction other than "left" and "not left". So weird noises in my room I can't track down is "Tuesday." If I had a spooky monster ghost making horrific banging noises to get my attention, it'll make a horrible ruckus in the kitchen while I proceed to go check the living room...

Bagged milk? Sleeman? Kijiji? This series is absolutely Canadian.

Honestly, I really like how they really didnt do anything at first, and the spooky stuff didnt initially happen because they did something stupid to piss the demon off; the demon first initiated everything. They only did the salt star and flash camera after the demon showed that its aggressive. Idk, so many movies have the characters provoking the spirits so it feels like they did this to themselves, but this story really does feel like how real people would interact with the supernatural; first with curiosity and denial, then get progressively more scared and paranoid. 10 stars from me!

The half closed bathroom door at the end of the hallway added a whole level of spooky to this everytime they had to go from the living room to anywhere in the house. They always kept the camera looking at the wall as they turn the corner and that is straight up not cool bro.

I actually really appreciate this channel and others like it. My girlfriend is blind, my eyes aren't as bad but still pretty bad, we are both Hard of Hearing, and having the explanations of the stories means we can actually enjoy them, even though we physically can not see or hear the hidden and subtle things.

I admire the tasteful use of jumps in this production. One of the reasons I dont watch a lot of horror is because jumpscares make me feel really unpleasant--had a few bad jumpscare experiences as a kid and am now more scared of them than your average bear. When I go through a horror movie I don't think "oh god ghosts!" but rather "please dont subject me to some loud noise and bright image..."

The demon waited a whole year before doing much. Maybe it just got sick of the dishes piling up and the plants being overwatered

Y'know, I'd love a series about a "haunted apartment" thing where the living person manages to enter friendly contact with the ghost, who then becomes more of a roommate. Maybe something based on those Japanese apartments that are infamous for people "dying of loneliness" (suicide) inside them, which many believes leaves them haunted by vengeful ghosts. Like, this guy really needing a cheap apartment in Tokyo finds one that's dirt cheap, with the only caveat that it's previous occupant hung themselves out of loneliness. The guy, being an introvert himself, understands, and after a few early scares, begins trying to approach the ghost calmly, eventually treating them like a friend.

I love how every episode makes a point of showing how loud the floor is when walked on but when the camera starts floating there is no squeaking, so immediately, something is off

The only thing I can really think of that could produce that “attack” effect at around 25:20 practically (without any sort of CG effects) would be an air cannon or something. However they did it, it was excellent!

Dang, this was *really* good. Like, if I didn’t know better it looked like it was an actual haunting caught on camera with a real demon. The ending was a tad strange but in all honesty, it leaves us to theorize more of what it all meant in the end. And, even though it wasn’t intentional, it was a nice little twist at the end to keep us thinking and well... hauntings rarely end in a good way, right?

Hey Night Mind, I noticed something during this video that I wanted to point out. You questioned at 38:45 why they would include this 'kill room' aspect, why the sheet? Did you notice the decorations scattered around the apartment? The movie posters in every bedroom, the hallway, even the kitchen? These characters are cinephiles. That sheet scene? Psycho from Hitchcock. It could be that the Demon is playing on that, or it could be something more.

Green food dye, that's the trick. The usual corn syrup/flour/water/red food dye mix, but add a few drops of green food dye as well. Best fake blood you can make

It was fun hearing you in OddOne’sOut video! But I’m so happy to have a real true NM video to sink my teeth into!

"I water it everyday and it's dead" most houseplants will do that, man, give them time to dry in between waterings

longing for fall weather in this miserable new england humidity, this was the crisp fresh air i needed tonight

Did he seriously think that telling a demon to get out of his house would work Edit: This is a joke from my first impressions of watching the video, some people are taking it seriously.

The explanation for how the tricks were done is they are friends with a real demon from hell and he agreed to help them out with their RU-vid series.

I always feel like I should have a brandy when listening to Night Mind

That's why us bigfoots live in the deep woods instead of apartments

So that part with the guy getting attacked from behind at around 25:00 or so. I can only think they used one of those air guns, where you pull back the plastic and it shoots like a air ball at someone.

32:25 Hold on, Nick. I didn’t think for a second that was Steve or Brendan holding the camera. Did you see the way the camera moved as it went from the kitchen into the guys’ rooms? It didn’t feel like human hands were holding it, and the doors fly open without a hand going to the knob. I’d say that was also brilliant camera work. I immediately knew it wasn’t a human behind the camera.

No one is talking about the paranormal investigator. That was hilarious! I loved how subtle that was

I was having a really bad night, so I really needed this

I think the best part about the film is how it feels genuinely like a high-quality student film. I don't actually know if it was produced by a film studio or is actually just a low-budget film series, but either way the acting is strikingly realistic and good and the attention to detail done by the creators is a cut above most other films on this level of production quality.

Ya know, I love night mind, but I sometimes really question why I decide to watch these at night when I'm a damn wimp.

spooky boys uploading on the same day? maybe 2020 aint all that bad

I will also say, about the jumpscare, the vulnerability of the lights being off, combined with the audible buildup of the flash charge to key our tension directly to, and the law of three all combined to take a well framed jumpscare to the top.

Best part about these new series (well old series I guess you could say) that Nick shows us is the fact that he gives us a playlist that is in order. I know that's not a big deal to most people, but I've had to skip watching things in their entirety solely because it would take too long for me to watch them in order and I want to enjoy both the series and Nick's coverage and not feel rushed in one or the other. Thank you for that Nick, its honestly the small things that count!

Night Mind video? Yes. Night Mind and Nexpo? YES.

Nick, did you lend your voice to TheOdd1sOut? I thought I heard you in his latest video, but I want to double check. Amazing video as always :D!

When one has a difficult time determining between real and fake, you know it's going to be good.

"Get out of our house!" Demon: *"NO U"*

another thing about the sequence where the demon is holding the camera: you can tell its the demon right away by paying attention to the doors opening. for both doors, the handle is in the frame and you dont see any hand reach put to turn them. the eoors just fly open in front of the camera. its the little details like this that really make this series shine

“I’m sending over a paranormal expert”, fully expected it to be that Idubbz-looking guy yelling about Satanic day planners.

If it were me in that house, everything after episode 6 or so would consist of me filming my new house, 5000 miles away from that one. The ONLY unbelievable thing about this whole thing is the fact that anyone could actually *fall asleep* in a place they caught a demon on camera 🤯

Acting on point, storytelling on point, effects on point, editing on point. Imagine what they could do with a professional budget.

Steve: "Get out of our house!" Demon: *"This is not a house, this is an apartment."*

I love the part where he tells it to get out and it clearly gets antsy. I always wonder why horror movies with demons, or heck, even ghosts, never ever go with the idea that a living person, by dint of being alive and existing in the physical world, is more powerful than something that isn't. Maybe it's because I was always told this and that if you commanded something like that to leave, it had to obey because you're stronger than it is.

Forgot the exact quote but FreddieW, or one of his colleagues, once said something along the lines of "the best [video] effects I've done are the ones you don't notice", in other words the cleaning up work to make sure the video looks legit when there are other things that originally were in frame. I know nothing about these creators but between hidden cuts (while I'm sure NM scrubbed extremely throughly, I feel like the pan from the knife back to the kitchen was likely a hidden cut) and ensuring any wires were removed through masking, a lot of this can look EXTREMELY clean. Bravo to the creators regardless if this is all vfx with lots of cleaning or just practical, my gut says it's a mix of practical on set with cleaning that have totally bamboozled NM.

this series is what Paranormal Activity wishes to be

What really scared me when watching this was when Steve suddenly wakes up because he's being choked. I've had something similar happen to me as a preteen. I was asleep and suddenly woke up to being choked much in the same way Steve did. It felt like a hot hand around my neck and burning acid inside my throat and I couldn't cough or yell during the 1-2 minutes it was occurring. That scene was well executed and felt like Steve was genuinely being attacked.

29:47 Resident: GET OUT OF OUR HOUSE! Demon: Dont wanna!

I like it when they say "get out of my house" like they are yelling at their ex instead of a murderous invisible demon

Nexpo and Night Mind uploading on the same day made me realize just how similar their voices are...has anyone ever seen them in the same room together??

Before I countinue from 3:50, Anomalies was actually crazy good and I am glad that you brought attention to it.

The ending made me feel satisfied even without a continuation. It leaves many questions still, but you can imagine this is just how the story ends. They both go missing, or are found dead. Or maybe one ends up in jail. You can keep questioning and there are many threads left untied, but sometimes that's perfect. It's a kind of ending I grew up reading, but one I don't see in many other media forms.

The one thing I love, is that if that was a one take show...that means dude actually threw that knife. And as someone who throws knifes for fun...that was fucking perfect. And even if it was cut, to cut it so perfectly to look like not only a good throw but a fierce one is top notch for me. Also the Seal is simply suppose to make the demon dizzy Solomon would put them all over the keep the demons at bay to protect him. Same goes for the Triangle, I don't think it's a way of trapping the demon, just confuse and keep it away which leads me to believe the apartment is the problem. Something about the apartment the demon loves.

just got back home, crying in my bath but your upload is really the highlights of my day today

It’s a outright crime that these two guys only have 66 subs.

Jumpscare moments aka the times my heart stopped: 25:18 27:33 extra warning on this one... I thought my heart was gonna give out 29:42 small scare 32:47-32:57 tw: spooky neck stuff 33:17

It's so sad they didn't get views at the time it was made. It's so well made. We most likely would have gotten a season 2 if it had blown up when it was originally posted..!

Personally, as someone who is a strong believer in the paranormal and a spiritual person, this was so amazing and used a lot of terminology I could recognize And good lord the reveal jumpscare was so well pulled off i almost fell out of my seat! It was also so gutwrenching when I saw them do things incorrectly when it came to handling this demon (like destroying the seal underneath/behind the oven and provoking it with the flash) Plus, they set this thing up to be powerful as hell! A demon that can throw and move heavy objects, posses someone, and physically manifest is extremely strong I love this so so much!

That jumpscare with the flash is so good, ugh. It is telegraphed perfectly, builds up, uses a noise we know (the flash charging up and being used) and it does the rule of three with two nothings. Nice.

Legitimately, very legitimately, when they moved the oven and the trap was there, made me gasp. This shit is so good

I can just imagine the guys behind this casually looking back on the channel of one these days and being surprised by the sudden massive increase in viewership.

Nexpo and nightmind in the same day? What a day

I thought this was going to be that one kinda-sorta-musical video about the ridiculously cursed apartment complex, with that hair guy and the random objects that kill people. I forgot its name, does anyone remember this?

The effects are incredibly well done; like to a point where it almost seems professionally done. My one gripe is that the sound effects they used were really gimmicky. Some of them had risers made by reversing the sound effect and playing it before the sound effect, which is really strange when you think about it, but to find these vfx on a channel with 66 subs is already quite unbelievable. To expect everything done to the same standard is even more so.

That first jumpscare was INCREDIBLY done!! In addition to everything mr nightmind said, I love the jumpscare itself. It fading in and out with the flashing lights was brilliant, I assume they used some sort of computer animation but it doesnt look like it! Its extremely unsettling, making it feel unnatural without making it look “fake”. I also love how original the demon looks in and of itself, not to say that was its true form, but still it was a pleasant and terrifying change of pace :D

i was expecting it to be something 50/50, like there was an internal reason it didn't receive much attention. but it's actually just extremely good ?? thanks dude

i did pause this when prompted to then go watch the playlist and it was so much more fun doing it this way. also, i ditto the narration about the attempted attack on Brendan... that moment got me so immersed in this world, it took me awhile to remember that this isn't just actually happening. truly great work and they deserve WAY more hype.

"August is the Friday morning of summer" omg that's beautifully accurate. I'm stealing that sentimental sentence. It's mine now.

Ok, I did some digging and I found both of the two main actors on Twitter! The tall one with dark hair is now a cartoonist it seems, his last post being back in January 31st of last year. The light hair curly haired one last posted on twitter back in 2012 it seems. I both sent them a tweet about "a series they made in 2014" to see if I can get their attention. If I can I'll see about putting them in a group chat together and talk about anomalies

sometimes I wish these didn't spook me as much as they do because I'd love to finish a video without having to take breaks to relax

Man that was actually really good. I appreciate subtle horror more than in your face horror. The build up. The anticipation. Yes I know something scary is gonna happen. That’s why I’m here. But when you let that anxiety build up over a period of time the pay off is so much more satisfying. And this series did a great job. Really wish it got its season 2 like they planned. Tho I do think it’s current ending is also decently satisfying. In the sense that it can simply be interpreted as they lost and the footage was found after that moment.

"Get out of our home!" Whichever entity that is haunting the place: "Excuse me, this is MY home"

There's a tiny detail I noticed during my watch through, which you didn't bring up. **SPOILER ALERT** Throughout the series, I noticed that the apartment was very creaky and squeaky, but when the unknown being carry the camera, despite moving like a person, the floors didn't creak at all. Tiny detail, but I loved it

Hopefully with the new traction on their channel from this, there'll be some activity on their end as well

Its just so lovely to see, you dont need a fancy budget, no CGI wizards, no nothing but a bit of passion and a camera, to actually make the viewer feel frightened. I wouldnt even be down here, if that shit wasnt so creepy.

I know it is easy to ignore sponsored bits but that Creepshow series he brought up is legitimately pretty damned good and very in the spirit of the first two movies and Trick r Treat.

I love things like the mattress propped up on the wall and stuff draped on the banister and the big box of trash in the kitchen. Little touches like that make the place really feel natural and lived in. I wouldn't be surprised if this had been filmed in the creators' real apartment.

I feel bad b/c this series looked so good but the blood looks like it’s just died corn syrup.

I'd like to make note that the part of the hallway outside of steve's room always makes a loud creek noise. When the ghost picks up the camera and gets to that part of the hallway, it stayed completely silent, showing the audience the camera is floating. Extra little touch that was foreshadowed sence the beginning of the series.
