Interesting that this video about the release of a mentally ill potential killer is taking place in Poland the same year (1993) that "Ania" disappeared.
"Unfortunately, I couldn't find her on the missing persons website" Uh nah, that would be a good thing. Indicating a likelihood someone is not actually missing and that this is a work of fiction.
It's gotta be a team of art/film students. Great music, cinematography, editing etc. They're way more talented than the people who tend to upload creepy art projects to RU-vid.
Im Polish and I've actually put an afford to read what was possible to read in her diary(in the hidden video). Aside from regullar teenage girl's stuff she mentions that she saw a man in the bus and that his weird look reminded her of the situation that happened wen she was about 5yr. Now - I might have missunderstood something couse it's really hard to pauze in the moment when the camera is focused enought couse whoever is filming the notebook goes fast, page after page, but I as far as I was able to read it - she has this weird memory of when she was little. She's not sure if it's real but in this memory she is in the croud (she's not able to tell if it was winter or summer couse she remembers that it was really cold but sunny at the same time). Then was the part that she explains (I think) where exaclly she was when that happend but it's really nearly impossible to read and I can't tell the details, so fast forward - she remembers some weird man with black clothes who was looking at her and told her in deep, strange voise (that she was able to hear clearly even tho there was a lot of noise around) that she has been choosen to (that im not sure but something along the lines of) help become a part of nature and than her mom calls her so the man tells her that he'll come back for her and than dissapears. So yeah, she wrote that she thinks it might ave been just a dream and that she can't remember that men's face as it is really blurry in her head although the man that she's seen in the bus reminded her of the man from the "dream" Then she goes about something typical like that shes going to go to McDonald's opening with her friends and that she's excided and few days after she mentions the man once again and she says that this memory kinda wont leave her in peace after she's seen that random guy she keeps thinking about it. i think it could give much more informations as it seems to be important and makes sense with the story showed in this channel so I decided to translate and share in this comment what I was able to understand from the diary reccording. Im really sorry for the grammar mistakes that I've probably made but as I said - Im Polish and writing in english it's a lot harder for me than speaking or listening in that language.
Also - there's much more informations there, she wrote that she was riding the same bus in wich she saw him last time, she's still convinving herself that it's just her mind playing tricks and that she's paranoid. Then I was able to see some more text connected to the man from the bus and overall situation, but the reccording goes so fast that it's impposible to pauze on well-focused handwriting. Due to that - I wasn't able to get the full story or even a piece of it, all I was able to understand is the overall that she keeps thinking about it. Than almost everything she says has something to do with the man from the bus and this old memory. She's confused and mad and thinks that is strange that she can't remember anything about his face. Only blue sky and that he WAS there, talked to her and was wearing all black. But the face is one, big blank. She sometimes talks about other aspects of her life but keeps bringing the guy from the bus. She wrote, that she was, once again, in this bus and got some sort of anxiety or other form of attack and then in her mind, once again, appeared the though of the man connected to the memory. It looks like she's slowly driving herself into some sort of madness or obsession, she would write things like ,,GET YOUSELF TOGETHER, WOMAN!!!" to herself. At this point it looks sorta like: ,,Day Month Year: [her friend's name] is finally healthy and we're planning to go to this new club (...)" ,, Day or dwo later: Im keep thinking about him, I CANT GET THIS OUT OF MY HEAD, I HAVE TO GET MYSELF TOGETHER!!!! [some updates for example that she was in the bus and blablabla]" At this point Im really tired of trying to read the diary and get some sort of contects so maybe I'll go back to it later.
I'd also like to say that the diary seems really legit, not like it was written by someone for the sake of a.. show? or whatever ,Magiczny świat Ani" were suppose to be.
The artistic value is pretty amazing. My take on the masks is how creeps become obsessed with surface beauty to the point they don't see girls as humans anymore... just dolls. Sometimes even the media that reports on missing girls is just as guilty because they usually just show one ideal picture of them and that's all anyone ever knows about them. The brief glimpses we see of the "real" girl in contrast with the mask girl definitely seems like how others view the same person depending on the perspective.
The biggest mystery is why society glorifies the twisted freaks who exploit, ruin and end the lives of the vulnerable. Every society has them. Instead of focus on what creates them, and the red flags to identify to keep people from becoming victims, their crimes are feasted upon. This dumb video series is yet more of the same.
So the image of the teeth disappearing from the pic, then her falling to the ground and rotting..... if you pull someones teeth out, doesn't it make it harder to identify your body?
At 9:01 Under the headline 'Odzyskana tożsamość' there's literally a story about scouts who found a dead 39yo women's body in forest at 20 May. At first they thought she commited suicide, but then they found out that someone elso were involded in her death. She had choke marks on her neck and all of her teeth were taken out. That and the fact that body were far in process of rottening made the process of identification difficult. But at the end they identified her as Irena Kornacka.
Oh my God, I just noticed something. In Episode 4, during the radio broadcast sequence, the lady speaking mentions a 'Miss Matgotzata'. While trying to translate this, I came across 'Matgorzata' which is a French and Polish version of the name MAGGIE. And who else is named Maggie and is in a Polish web series? Maggie the Squirrel, from Kraina Grzybów TV. I also did the math and discovered that if Ania was 20 years old in 1993, and if Kraina Grzybów TV was started in 1988, like NE said in the Kraina Grzybów TV video, then she would have been around 15 years old. Maybe Ania watched Kraina Grzybów TV as a teen, and this made her start to feel disoriented and stop eating, as her mother says. Also, there is a theory that Maggie is a man. Could it be that she, or he rather, is the hobo in the woods that presumably kidnapped Ania? I don't know yet, but this is what I believe happened: Ania did watch Smile Guide, and became frightened by it, especially Maggie, who was the hobo in disguise. As the years passed, Smile Guide always seemed to haunt Ania, and make her feel disoriented, which in turn, caused her to stop eating. As she tried to find information on Smile Guide, she couldn't seem to find anything. She tried to reach out to see if other people watched it, and to her surprise, people did. One of those people, named Maria, remembered it so vividly, that she and Ania became close friends over the topic. Then, all of a sudden, Maria vanished without a trace. Ania is devastated which in turn, caused her to study Dutch, Maria's 1st language. She is then kidnapped without a trace as well. I know, this a really sketchy theory, but it's what I believe so.....
Wow, thanks! I was watching this video the first time and had realized, "Wait, doesn't that mean Maggie in Polish?", and I guess all of that kind of came out of that one question.
I'm looking at it from a logical point of view, plus, I'm using ideas that NE discussed in both videos. While the Kraina Grzybów TV channel may be 3 years old, the timeline for the series takes place in the 80s.
Having been subscribed to this channel almost since its inception, I always have to do a double-take when I am reminded that this is part of the weird side of RU-vid. I don't think of what I watch as being "weird", but at the same time Nexpo really does cover some strange stuff.
In the beginning of the 1st clip I was staring at the girl in the middle. She was transfixing my attention on to it and seconds later she was the only one that was not shaded in red..... I'm low-key scared at this for some reason
I personally don't find the videos creepy, but I'm fascinated by them. Even if the symbolism is clear, it's beautifully artsy in a way I really like. Big kudos to them~
Wow so much attention to detail. i'm not surprised many people think is legit!!Specially when they present you a newspaper confirming the disappearance. Well, as a designer I can observe that the text is completely fake. Look at the wrinkles in the paper, the letters don't follow those folds (the text is placed in a layer over the texture of the paper) and the ink is undisturbed by the stains. To achieve a similar image do this: Find a wrinkled paper scan it, then type everything you like and put the pictures. Put a sepia filter. The print and scan several times until the texts looks diffuse and pixelized You have to print it in good quality or else the bars of the printer will show. The scanning is what will make the "pixelized on the edges" effect. Other way entirely digital would be to blur the image a little, then sharpen the edges. Blur again then sharpen again.
missymani I felt it was too artistic to be legit. Sure psychos can be artists but they're generally too consumed with their respective obsessions and delusions. Some of this was actually inspiring and invigorating on a creative level! I loved the cornfield scenes.
Actually there was found a new newspaper with similar text and picture, but some of the details in the text were changed, like, for example, what was Ania wearing the day she was kidnapped and her name - in the new version her name is Weronika. But I agree this is probably some art project, really good though!
I think it's deliberately disturbing content pretending to be modern art. It has many common horror hallmarks: creepy distorted music, uncanny masks, dolls, etc
Four clicks and I'm back home in the nice and dark part of youtube. This is my first ARG vid but I already have a theory as the symbolism here is pretty slam in your face. 1: Ania is singled out from a crowd of women, meaning she was "selected" 2: Cut to the corn field, with it reapearing so often one has to assume her final capture took place in one. 3: Mask Ania is laying on the ground and a flash cut to maggots on flesh. This represents the beginning of her "transformation at the hands of "God" or creepy nutter bum, either way. 4: Mask Ania sitting next to a helpless mannequinn, then "Ania Creep" switches places with said Mannequin in an, I am her she is me sort of way. 5: Manic movement back in the corn field, representing "the hunt" of the real Ania in a corn field. 6: Fresh meat, then maggot covered meat, again representing before and after his handy work. 7: A predator spider carrying off it's prey, pretty self explanatory. 8: "Human body is atoms and molecules, you die and nothing changes." So he made himself a doll of the real Ania after abusing her on camera for an indertminate amount of time. 9: Serial Killers often get God complexes due to the ability to snuff out a life or let the victim live at their whim. 10: two women kneeling in front of a man with two skulls next to him. I believe this represents two dead victims and three living, two female and one male captive. Also two sparrows flying towards one another represents reunion, as in a reunion of a destroyed human Ania and a transformation into "Doll Ania" in the reunion of the captor and his "possesion". Also sparrows represent God's love so a double meaning here. The sun represents, "God" (Our Villian) showing up and making things all "Beautiful" by bringing their deaths and transforming them in his "light". Then 5 total skulls, again fairly self explanatory. The sixth victim is represented by the opportunity murder with no transformation and the body being engulfed by nature. 11: More skulls and "shrines" in the woods, representing the capture spot since having outdoor shrines for the "dolls" would not be pratical for 6 victims going on 7 particularily with Polish winters. 12: Real footage of Ania and a boyfriend taken just before he "pounced" also introducing our male victim. And giving us his motivation to capture right then and there due to this guy interacting with "HIS" doll. 13: Splashes of red on all around her on people, representing the killer's feeling that Ania is surrounded by evil and only he can "rescue" her with his "love"... Anyway I may be way off but again I'm new. This is a phenominal channel and I will be enjoying the rest of this thoroughly. Subbed and Belled! Cheers 🍻
Fool idk what the hell this is but damn. What if the person who killed her, or was involved with killing her, made these videos for a way to cope with it. Like, that person is telling us what happened, but not physically telling us. There are hidden clues in each video that reveal more and more. Nasty.
I have my doubts that such a person would have the skills/presence of mind to create this montage of videos full of various animations/transitions etc. - might be loosely based on a real-life case, but this was likely done by an artist/film student etc.
There's also the fact that most real-life serial killers/abductors etc. tend to be psycho/sociopaths and typically express no remorse or indeed much emotion at all (aside from maybe grim amusement) in court. When someone has gotten to the point where they would (conceivably) abduct/kill/torture etc. several women, I highly doubt they would express/be capable of expressing remorse, let alone put the effort into making an elaborate series of videos that entail untold hours of shooting/costumes/props/editting etc. I'm sure it COULD happen, but I'd say it's a longshot.
Yellowblanka if we follow this theory of the killer being the film maker, he very well could be making the film to sort of brag about his deeds. Like how the zodiac killer would send messages and clues to the paper and police.
Me: watches scary stuff for five hours Also me: okay I’ll just listen to my favorite songs to calm my nerves before I go to bed My mind: all my favorite songs are about death :’)
If there’s any guitarists here the intro music for this weird channel is on the E string and it’s 0, 2,3,3,2, 0 and for bassists it’s just an octave higher I’m pretty sure so you play on the D string 2, 4, 5,5,4,2
In one of your videos, you should use that really annoying royalty free ukulele whistle song as the background music, just to see how people would react
Omg this video was on my recommended and all I can say is WOW! I enjoyed it very much and subbed instantly. Now I plan to binge watch your other videos today on my day off. Thanks!
9:48 I think that might represent that her captor forcibly took graphic pictures of her against her will.. Another theory is that Ania might have bulimia? Hence her losing weight and losing teeth
hmmm...how come these always have a Věra Chytilová aesthetic...and almost like...60s or 70s aesthetic but the american ones don't? i just think thats so much more artistic and beautiful...haha, its interesting to me...
19.27 this used to be a television commercial i recall watching in the UK when i was VERY young (id guess late 80s+) i cannot for the life of me remember what it was for, but my gut feeling is it was for either.. perfume/aftershave, or a chocolate bar.
It would be much more effective and creepier if it weren't so obviously artistic. No real documentary, nor obsessed serial killer, would go so far to put this much effort into a crazy and ambiguous series of videos with such a severe lack of actual information. You can edit and add all kinds of weird stuff into a video, but if the main subject is about something real, then that's also your main focus as a creator. It's non-debatable, it's instinct.
It's all an art project, fake abduction. The reason i why i think this is because the video editing takes some talent, and not just thrown together with windows movie maker. There's no way some random family member or just some average joe can make it The overlays, speed ramps, and camera aberrations etc, all take a certain amount of editing knowledge to make.
Was listening to this in the background while playing a game, flipping back and forth to check out some of the visuals. BIG mistake when crazy, crawly woman popped up! Won't be sleeping tonight.
Played darkwood on PC a while back and fell in LOVE with Polish/Slavic horror and folklore stories. It's my kind of disturbing and heavy. Killer job on the video, love y'alls work as well.
I'm compelled by the fashion allegory theory because of this series' visual/stylistic similarities to the Czech New Wave film "Daisies," which the director, Vera Chytilova, asserts was a philosophical criticism of materialism (though there are several interpretations of the movie, I highly recommend watching it if you like the style of this series)
