Jack Torrance: Fully Explained - The Unrelenting & Immersive Paranormal Footage ARG 

... It would have been hilariously awful it you accidentally got the wrong drop and picked up a kilo of heroine.

*Goes to a abandoned building looking for monsters* *Hears monsters inside* "Well shit."

This was all secretly a many year long conspiracy to give Nick an excuse to buy a record player

It's actually very fun to imagine Nick as a supernatural cat-man detective, real Constantine shit

Up until now, I thought NM's voice was trained for radio style commentary...but that's his normal conversational voice/tone. Color me surprised.

I'm having fun imagining a tiny black cat with four eyes carrying a big 90s camcorder around a spooky building. I'm liking this brave new world.

>taunted into playing an ARG >goes to location probably littered with clues and dead drops by the creator months ago >nearly get confronted by probably resident crackheads inside a building Nick, I love this content and your investigation style, but *please* be careful.

Just think, there are people who know what Nick _really_ looks like. Thats probably more unnerving than anything in Jack Torrance's library.

Jack Torrance is dead. I saw the movie. He froze to death.

this acutally felt kind of dangerous, i was constantly worried he'd open a package and be like IT WAS EYES.

I admire the Jack Torrance channel for 3 reasons: length of dedication, incorporation of so many techniques & media and, especially, crafting a definitive conclusion.

Out of all the investigation channels out there dealing with these kinds of topics, I have never been so enraptured by your commentary and explaining throughout each video you make. Every video you make feels like its jam-packed with fresh content, leaving me begging for more. As someone who was watching you back in the old days of Marble Hornets Explained, I can safely say that you, Nick, are one of the best RU-vidrs out here. God bless ya’, man.

As a recovering heroin addict lemme explain why there's a pillow on the floor: its so people (hitchhikers and/or homeless people) can sit comfortably while they cook their shot and then shoot up their drug. Good place to hide, doesn't seem like anyone (other than you) would come up and run into them.

Nick met with fans... so SOMEONE has seen beneath his fursuit

There needs to be a tv show about a guy who does these sort of investigations but actually stumbles on a real cult but only becomes apparent at the end of the first season but giving enough hints to make the viewer on edge through the season. Now that would be awesome.

A little bummed we never got to see the footage of that box moving...that sounds ridiculously creepy and I'm so glad none of you got hurt.

*That's a damn good margarita.*

night mind almost dies in the sake of evidence

Also a fun reminder to people who have high anxiety like myself: THIS IS NOT REAL. it is an intense, very immersive ARG. You are going to be okay.

That coffee tin dead drop was like a fan art showcase from a serial killer, holy shit

you named the clown danny--like jack torrance's son from the shining. i definitely snickered at that

holy nuts, that buttery-smooth tone is actually your real voice?! how do you NOT have a job in radio, nick? seriously, you could make a freakin fortune with that voice~

I dOn'T kNoW wHaT hE's TaLkInG aBoUt! ... Lol! But seriously... the time, effort and freaking dedication you put into this entire adventure is just... mind-blowing. Fricking well done. You deserve the rest now

I've not been part of the investigation, watching your videos is something I actively decide to do when the time is right. I've only now gotten around to this. This video, this story, is the single most thrilling thing I've seen on RU-vid, if not ever. I quietly screamed out at some of the revelations. Nick, your content is always mindblowing, but this was a step beyond. I realize now I need to save your videos. Should anything ever happen to this channel or youtube, I need to keep your masterworks.

I like to imagine that you and whoever runs the Jack Torrance channel had very normal correspondence after this all started, like establishing ground rules and discussing contingencies and timelines for in case a family emergency arose. He seems much more stable than the guy that is obsessed with The Wyoming Incident, at least

As my physics teacher said: "If you see an upside down omega, run".

Oh, dang, this is all really close to where I live. Wish I knew y'all were in georgetown. You're lucky you didn't run into any rattlesnakes. As for the movements you heard, it was probably the coyotes. They're all over the place, and with how hot it's been getting I wouldn't be surprised at all to find some rooting around in abandoned buildings to keep out of the sun.

Nick, have to say, I love your vids to death, and im glad that youre still making content like this. Not sure if ive been here long (back from when the Alantutorial video was the big thing from you) But your content, from Noc+10 to TribeTwelve, has never gotten boring from me. Looking forward to whats coming next, and for next months anual Candy Bowl! Keep it up. ♡

Nick Nocturne is the only person I've ever heard call paper used to wrap gifts "gift paper". I've only ever heard wrapping paper, and it threw me off way too much in this video

Daisy Brown just finished her arg Give it a revisit PLEASE

Well nothing like being cursed by a Freemason demonic creature while im trying to do laundry

I love the increasing amount of fear as you go through it. This is what I believe you needed. The exhilaration of the hunt, the fear and paranoia as you see people manipulate events around you alongside cryptic or unnerving messages. It really helps you empathize with similar characters from other stories, whether real or artificial.

As a native Texan, you're lucky you werent confronted with a firearm exploring private property like that. Would have been much more likely than finding a monster. xD

The amount of planning Jack had to do when he caught your attention is amazing. Everything he did just to get you playing along and figuring out the mystery. Awesome.

HE PLAYED US LIKE A DAMN FIDDLE

It would be a crazy plot twist if Jack Torrance and Night Mind have been planing this all along, since the first Jack Torrance video on Night Mind channel.

You know what... I'm kinda happy I hadn't followed this as closely as everyone else and I didn't send anything in. Not that my house would be on street view since it's in bumpfuck nowhere. I admire their dedication and I ESPECIALLY admire you, Cat daddy, for going out looking for... whatever this was!

Honestly I'm astounded and terrified. I'm both remorseful and grateful that I chose not to interact with the investigation while it was still ongoing, I would've liked to see things play out in real time, but I feel as if this particular case file would be too much for me.

i'm sorry but Jack Torrance: oooh i hope Night Mind-chan will find this. I wuv him secretly.

Perfect timing! I'm trying to get my sleep schedule back on track and these videos help me stay awake

Thank you NM for being so sensible about the locations. As someone who grew up in areas with a large number of buildings in extreme disrepair, never assume they are unmonitored. We had several barns and shacks at the far end of our property that hadn’t been used since my grandfather bought the land in the early 50’s. Because of this, we knew when cars and people shouldn’t be there. Also as a landowner you don’t know if strangers have good or bad intentions and so we responded with drawn weapons. I really wish people who design these kinds of ARG would stick to land they own or public land.

Jokes on Jack. I'm already cursed

Imagine if a janitor or security guard picked up a geo cash (If that’s how you pronounce it)

It's very entertaining to see someone made a real world investigation instead of sitting on a laptop for 7 1/2 hours

Thank god, you can finally move on to something else

the whole thing with the box makes me think this whole thing isn't really an ARG. if it is whoever is putting it on is batshit crazy

Jack torrence is great and all, but wheres the *DAMN GOOD MARGARITA*

he thrusts his fists against the post and still insists he sees a ghost !

I know we're all about the immersion, but I think you should've noted that the danger wasn't just some potential spooky monster or whatever in some of these locations, but you could run into squatters, farmers, wild animals, etc that could be dangerous. The person in the warehouse very well might have been a homeless squatter.

This exact content - the mixture of standard investigator stuff and the "player" pov that we just never get from these types of ARGs.. it's amazing. We always read about or see the results of the players getting items like dead drops but this is one of the first times I've seen these two concepts crossed.

Night Mind, i know i'm like a whole damn YEAR into the future, but i just found your channel, and i find your own camera work to be beautiful.

Y’know, I’m beginning to think that this is that ARG that you said you’d be part of a while back.

I love the fact that you have the most relaxing voice I have ever heard yet you cover such terrifying topics. Way to put that voice to great use, NM.

Isn't Jack Torrance The Shining guy?

This whole ARG has hit waaaaay too close to home! As a central Texan, it adds an extra layer of creepy. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to solving the Jack Torrence mysterious, it’s been a wild ride that I’m super glad I jumped on!

Things got legitimately Texas Chainsaw Massacre for a bit

He gives us a "curse", we give him that no u.

So what you're saying is that you got us all cursed? Thanks Nick!

And this is why having a PO box is so nice.

He went on private property...with a camera...in TEXAS. Truly one of the most bravest things I've EVER seen. Godspeed Nick.

"There are more cats now, and as it goes deeper down they get a lot dirtier." *RESISTS FURRY JOKE*

26:00 All I hear in the background is Rich Evans dragging that ladder to the Plinketto board

32:04 Blam, mystery solved. Just some hipster who wanted to share their favorite records and get you to shell out for a record player Great job, gang, everyone go home

14:50 To be honest, _that_ is the scariest part of this video. I got chills.

Holy crud the last bit of this ARG really hit god tier. Taking pics of peoples houses (Given it was only through google) was really creepy but it was a nice touch considering you hit the "Climax" of this story in a way. It was very much thanks to you that Jack was able to finish this story. You took one hell of an initiative and Jack latched onto it and invited you into their creation and Im so goddanged happy! Thank you for this Night Mind! And thank Jack for this adventure!

This was INTENSE. I love that you're putting yourself through the ringer to be able to get all of this. This is true dedication to your craft.

We have defeated jacky boy

Good to see that you’re still in the field Nick!

Yeah, this is cool and all... But where’s Petscop 2?

Just so you know, they make compact VHS to regular VHS adapters so you can play the tapes on a regular VCR. If you often use the VHS-C tapes, it might be something to look into getting. They shouldn't be too expensive these days but they were never that common either.

1.I remember being at the stream with the curse and being scared out of my mind because it was 12am and I was a child 2. I’m pretty sure after that night mind actually assured the audience watching that cursed aren’t read and that made me feel better Idk why I’m writing this but it’s fun to look back on old memories

If I didn't know any better I'd say that this is the arg you said you'd be a part of a while back.

This, now this is epic

Give the four eyed cat a cup of coffee

Some of those notes read "I'm sonny" I think I saw one that was somy. Poor Sonny hope he gets help

Crazy to randomly stumble across an ARG so close to my hometown! Heck, my mom still lives in Georgetown, I wonder how easily I could find these places if I was to look around town

My house... was in that file folder.

Jack Torrence: Ask for forgiveness. Me: No u.

Jack Torrance Explained was my first Night Mind video, the one that got me hooked on what it now one of my favorite channels on the site. I'm thrilled to see it turn into something so deep and interesting. And thanks to Nick for taking the time and expending the effort to fully explore this enigma of a project. Now let's burn this extra-dimensional devil.

Very intrigued by the Leviathan curse.. I’ve suffered with back problems, mystery pain, and other various illnesses for years and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few years back. Fun to see parallels from a favorite ARG to my personal life.

Cat daddy is ( b a c k )

remember how we're all cursed... ah yes...

A toilet.. taking a bath.. Bro... That is ''' brilliant art piece'''

Ngl, my interest in this channel completely died during the time when this Jack Torrance stuff was going on. But watching this now, a couple years down the road, it's kinda fun to watch

I never expected this to get so real and so creepy, this is getting uncomfortably close and it feels curiously welcome.

I noticed the hand of the person recording the video with the modern camera in the video "Nighttime Return" has nail polish (0:48) which might mean is a woman, there's a girl bleeding in a dark room in the video "VHS-C: 12.00000.00 / Token: 74", and in the video you found in the USB the voice is of a woman... what if that girl in distress and bleeding is the original owner (or one of the owners) of the jack torrance channel and was caught by the entity and that's why the channel went silent? Another thing you can notice is that the latest videos have old format but are clearly recent, what if the last video from 2016 is also recent with the entity capturing the girl who owns the JT channel and disguising the video as "old"? (proof of that might be that the last video from 2016 has a tag that says "ask forgiveness" and "repent"). One more thing, inside the the house in the video "Nighttime Return" there's a Happy Birthday balloon, and the packages you found on your field investigation all had Birthday related stuff, does that mean something? (perhaps the birth of the entity into our world?) Just sharing my thoughts

God his voice is amazing. Even outside

14:10 animal/person crying out every few seconds, what did it sound like, a shrill brief shriek? foxes make a noise like that

I'm early to a video?! Omg!! Its good to see you've finally got it done!! Now Nick, got get some rest okay? You need it!

Jack Torrance is the name of the guy in Stehpen King's The Shining

51:51 I like to stop and imagine the Jack Torrence creator sitting around trying to think of how they can do something creepy with a someone's football figurine because this is the project they committed themselves to.

ok im gonna be real though at like 51:00 before nm started talking about the symbol being omega i was like "haha its a horseshoe get it because there were horse noises" and hes right about it being omega, too, but i also winder if the horse thing was important...

the fact that jack torrance is active and around my area is terrifying. i live in a town outside of austin, so hearing and seeing all of this, along with all the other crazy stuff that happens around here, is wild. i'm honestly kinda terrified seeing all of this happen just a short car ride away from where i live lol. as of writing this comment, jack torrance's channel was last active around 3 months ago with more crazy content. i will keep my eyes and ears open around the area and channel for further crazy news. remember everyone, be strong. be safe. be free. do not let the creature try to infect you too.

Your attention to detail is so friggin admirable. You never fail to bring good content, keep up the top notch investigations my friend

You've been thinking about this ARG alot, thinking about it during the 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, having it on your 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝? i'll see myself out.

Love how you called his bluff and made this happen Awesome

"That's it? That's the Jack Torrance ARG? That was just wandering into drug dens for an hour!"

I'd call it a cat and mouse game but...

is there a chance that Night Mind himself created this whole thing? because theres some points that would make sense if he did.

Sometimes I get confused in your channel and nightmare expo
