What Was THAT?! | The Backrooms (Found Footage) Reaction 

69th like

Totally didn’t pick up on that. Thanks for pointing it out.

Or it's unintentional and they were like "no.. Leave it."

The whole interview is PERFECT. Especially the end, you could hear the thinly veiled terror in his question "Mr Beck, may I ask where this subject came from?"

@@MrSchism That too. But even if that is what happened, it’s a “we don’t make mistakes, just happy accidents” situation.

OOOOHH NICE! great observation! that makes a lot of sense!

Yea! It could be symbolizing how humans have always wanted more, even when we had enough and now our greed has opened a dangerous dimension slowly absorbing our population.

I'm not sure if this was specific to the Kane lore or what, but I read theories that the government essentially contracted Async to either use or create the backrooms for infinite storage or possibly even infinite housing. So this does seem to track with this observation. edit: i also don't know like where async sits in canon. pretty sure I read this theory on the original found footage video, and that person I think read it from other backrooms canon theories. whether async was included or not idk. but clearly async would be in the kane canon as it seems like they're either the ones who discovered or created the backrooms. edit 2: i made this comment half way through the video. mat does mention this :p

America needs to Manifest Destiny into the Backrooms.

I take offense at the phrasing that anyone "discovered" my motherland 🤧 That phrasing has historical, legal conotations rooted in racism and prejudice- i assume you didnt mean for that nor do i insinuate this to be you meaning. Lol. Im just poking at you😏

That’s a very neat theory :0! Interesting, haven’t heard of that one yet, would be really cool tho~

would be a cool story

same conclusion i came to think it's a pretty natural one when you look at the shapes of the entities i tried to rationalise how the pathogen could affect inorganic matter but then i ended up exploring other plausible ideas like the pocket dimensional space having physical laws different to ours; if its a coded structure that simply ran out of control; its copying mechanism run rampant; maybe it influences all matter and only the null zones serve as grace regions imagine the space's laws merged the matter of the tripod w the residual identity and information present within a human; would explain the ability to warn the protagonist via the wall and the humanoid screaming

good observation! i like the ideas of objects that are seemingly harmless and used for human assistance being turned into something much bigger and dangerous

i thought the same thing. i went back and rewatched the video to confirm that’s what i was thinking.

Would be cool to watch the POV of the tripod monster hunting down people

I'd agree!

But how didn’t u realize the room they were building is the one in informational video

It's not a tripod, it's an evolved bacteria! (confirmed by Kane)

@@carlweeks2399 I'd think it's alot like an infrared camera but it 'Heats up' in areas where there's movement.

oh wow

@@ABP0727 clearly apparent when you consider the original retcon'd lvl1 saying there were no entries on it.

@@sosomadman so true

But even if he said he isn't, the levels he's shown in the found footage video are from the fandom and wikidot wiki. So the level layouts are definitely inspired from those. Namely level 0, 1, 188. Sure, the way to get there is different from the original canons, but the levels have the same theme. So I do think reading up on the first 13 levels of the bacrooms (0-12) would be a good idea as we've gotten hints to those based on what we have seen. It would take you at most an hour to read all the info on the wikidot for them.

So what i get is that kane has incorporated some levels from the backrooms wiki in his own way, meaning, different entrances, exits and layouts. To put it short. Backrooms except kane has his own lore

Someone definitely got inspired to write a fanfic lol

Lmfao underrated comment

I am straight up replaying continuously- And will continue to do so until the end of time

I want him to dominate me😂. There I made the joke.

@@Ghost_Void226 Was it really a joke for you bailey?

MkUltra happened, verifiably. After that, I'm not willing to dismiss any depths.

Yeah, Matt prolly can't see it cuz he's literally watching it from a Couch

Right before mirror mat pointed it out I also thought it was two people coming back but when matpat played it back I noticed the third person in the middle

there was a person inbetween the two, it was only the position of the camera because you could see them holding an object.

51:19 is bit more accurate as you can see second person bit more clearly as person with case is behind wall while there appear be goggles.

Agreed

And then falls down a rabbit hole about how the US Army dumped bacteria on New Yorkers taking the subway, in the name of seeing how they'd react because of bio attacks concern, with the only reason we can even know about this being that the Army was asked to disclose this info by the _Church of Scientology_ . There's like, so many layers here

History and english teachers should use it as an instruction tool

Well uhhhh, I think he may have been a little more right

that explains too how do they write on walls just randomly, take some of that self-made paint, return to ape, make people know about your legend... ...shitless, unwavering, a feat of survival granted from ancestry

And since time is really weird in the backrooms, relative to the bacteria, thousands or millions of years could have passed since it was first brought to the backrooms giving it plenty of time to evolve and be changed by the backrooms even if the amount of time from the first contamination could have been only a few years realtime. The bacteria could have been brought into the backrooms during some experiment without anyone knowing and it was mutated by the backrooms

SO THATS WHY THE GROUND IS MOIST SZSUYDVEFYTEGUIHZG

@@desperatepsycho or even just two weeks as one of the hazmat suit guys said. Or five days as the autopsy report stated.

Also. If it lives in our guts, it probably lives in other organs. Like the creepy crawlies that tunnel through our skin, too small to see or feel! Biology is wonderful 😃 AAAAAAAHHHH

@@paisleesheppard5629 i hate you for pointing this out

Thank you for wording this in a way that I cannot!

I'm shakin and cryin rn

It's an employee termination contract,I have a clearer pic of it

No, the supposed " i " in "Biologist" does not have a dot over it, while when ti says " Terminated " you can clearly see the dot above the i. So, wrong edit: not to mention, biologists dont do autopsies

@@OldestHouse In a blurry image of handwritten text there are a number of explanations why you wouldn't see the dot over an "i" in one place, but would find it in another. For example, the quality could be bad in that particular spot (which it does seem to be), so the dot got lost in the noise. The person writing it may have just forgotten to put a dot there as well, I know I've done it. We can only see the end of the word. Specifically the "...logist" part with what looks like it could be a tiny bit of an "o" before it. I jumped to biologist because we were dealing with someone looking into the biology of whatever this new fungus or bacteria is and dissections or that kind of examination is right in a biologist's wheelhouse. However, the word could very easily be a different "ologist" though, such as pathologist which is someone who does autopsies. The main point I'm making isn't about the profession of the person though, but that the document looks to me like a termination as in someone being fired rather than a termination of something like a government contract, which is what he was speculating about in the video.

I may be blind or something but it sorta looks like development contract terminated

I don’t know if I’m seeing things, but I swear I see the Eyes of Argos from the wikis in there

Lmao I wasn’t first, but great mind think alike, good stuff!

Dad (The RU-vidr) posted a video recently titled "Kane Pixels" and the thumbnail was a picture of Kane's missing person poster. It had since been deleted and I didn't get a chance to watch it. Maybe Dad is somehow involved?

I wish I had watched the video to get more knowledge, but I guess we should be watching Dad more closely...

Or alternatively, just to throw up another theory, the tripod monster is some sort of corruption of one of the cameras seen in Motion Detected, because in the found footage the writing on the wall said "don't move stay still" and the cameras were set up to send an alert when substantial noise or *movement* was detected, meaning the 'camera monster' was still following its original directive to react to movement or noise. But that could be just a misdirection by Kane.

Which would explain why it preserves the body

It got more and more painful each time he said more lore

and at 38:09 they show a woman and a baby????? Big coincidence maybe but…… The woman fits the description of 19 maybe and with the infant

Elijah Woods probably would get a kick out of them.

For the life of me I cannot remember what LOTR means

@@remsamara Lord of the Rings lol

I legit got a lord of the rings ad after that and im dying

That’s like 11 hours of the best 3 movies ever.

I wish he’d watch the videos first then tangent, pause, theory, and whatnot, personally. A lot of viewers don’t watch the videos themselves and when matpat spends several minutes at a time tabbing back and forth on single frames… it becomes obnoxious when you just want to know what the spooky video is so you have good context for the theorizing.

@@SorrelYT ok I totally understand what you mean by this. I personally have been watching Matt forever and I absolutely love the witty banter. But mirror Matt does the divisions in the time stamps where you can skip over that if you want to which I feel like would be very useful in your case !

@@gabby_anz Mobile users dont have that luxury, and im not talking about the witty banter at all. I mean instead of interupting the video for a tangent or a comment, just let it play first then rewatch it and do the fun theorizing.

@@SorrelYT You should watch the videos on your own first.

@@SorrelYT Sneegsnag once said (roughly): "I'm pausing the video because I have something I want to talk about. If you want to watch the video, go watch it on your own, because most people are here for me, not [the video]."

seems likely the microphone failure was it getting infested with the stuff, and it became the thing seen in the next segment

Hey, thats my theories! I was hoping Matpat would check the comments on the video and see it but rip...

Looks like you beat Matt to the punchline.

So the bacteria infected the camera and became the monster. And I agree about the time warp thing. Matt was saying that this video couldn't connect with the video of the researcher getting separated from the rest of his group. But if the backrooms bend space AND time, it's plausible.

@@captainbeard8035 I’ve been posting about this for weeks too with very little exposure too. I came to that conclusion within 72 hours after informational video release by cross checking it with the date and the room seen in the unlisted tar archive video. I imagine there’s a bunch of us that all came to the same conclusion but due to the sheer amount of people commenting on his videos, we all got drowned out. Now that motion detection all but confirms it, most people will eventually catch on to what’s going on. Here’s another thing I’m curious about from the last video (informational video). In that video the date was February 29 1990 which is a leap day. Here’s the issue: 1990 wasn’t a leap year, at least not in our realty. This in my opinion opens up the possibility of there being alternate timelines, parallel universes, etc being at play. Like it would be interesting if the dude at the end of informational video shut the door to the room and basically hid in there until the portal opened back up and he ran out and tried to explain what was going on only to be detained. He explains to Async that he was part of the feb 29 1990 expedition, only for Async to inform him that that day doesn’t exist and then they get really suspicious of him and do some digging with their government partners and come to the conclusion he doesn’t exist and they don’t have any idea who he is. This would explain why in missing persons when they came across the body why there were only 3 people, because somewhere in the middle of the video we transitioned to a different perspective from the alternate timeline where lost Dude in informational video and feb 29 1990 never existed (in missing persons it starts with a crew of 4 dudes, but at the end it only shows 3 dudes). I have much less confidence in this theory/hypothesis but I am convinced from everything Kane has put out that the dates are super important and therefore the February 29 1990 date was no accident/mistake.

I noticed that too. We have yet to see what Mirror Matt reads. 🤔

@@TheTrueNicklose But we DO know that he watches Real Housewives... 🤨

Nice theory. He's already tied real historical events into the series (San Francisco earthquake), so there's definitely a precedent for it.

no theres 3 on either side and 1 in the middle so 7 total

There is a small 7th line to the left of bottom middle but I'm not sure if that's the 7th camera 🤔

@@angelahearn-carter5773 maybe the fungi infected the camera and used some fnaf remnant to become one with the tripod

Fun info. Thanks for sharing.

My nickname for it is called Paperclip Man

I thought so too. It looks more like a person floating in zero G.

@@Celestial_878 if you look at the bottom you can see their arm grabing the wall to move then moving back

The carpet is also slightly damp, that'll hella help mold

They’re saying it’s a bacteria not a fungus, iirc.

Maybe it can (since it's mutated ) fly in air

@@CheshieD my bad I’ll fix that

also the creator of the series called the main monster a bacteria, which also explains why in the autopsy part is flashed bacteria, fungus, etc

Yeah but in real life the colony just integrated with the nearby native Americans in order to survive. I doubt that's the lore bc what happened to them has already been figured put

@@lionmane1856 your mom has already been figured out

@@Collserra3 k

I could see this but right before it there was a big volcano so if so the village could have been like pompey. The reason it couldn't have been the Roanoke colony is because the people where believed to have been to move in with the native people and just live with them

im supised this doesn't have more likes, thats a great theory dude

I don’t watch hot ones but that’s pretty common for those sorts of things. in every podcast i’ve ever watched they shoutout their stuff after

@@zackglickert4495 yes, but as a part of marketing companies do buy ad spots on shows. It makes it feel organic and not like an ad. Not necessarily the case here. We don't know but I wouldn't be surprised.

Yeah! I mean look at FNAF for an example. Or even the Backrooms as well.

That is the problem of only a finite number of authors existing, and people wanting fantasy to be in certain ways. Also human stupidity and curiosity is endless. The test used by the military makes sense honestly.

and i think this is why you don't want to get inside the fake ceiling , what if there is MORE of these!?

it might be another person no-clipping their way into the back rooms

Good idea very creepy sciency

For some reason I don't think that looks like experimentation, since when I look at the image I see them dressed in semi-victorian era clothing, with an large necklace and very puffy clothing as well as a high collar (something that would be akin to elite victorian clothing from the looks of it). So it would rather suggest the existence of either cloning since then or a tangent into alternate-like beings or into how the fungus easily integrates itself into the host

@@PranavYadlapati it's possible if you squint at it. Experimentation was rife in mental hospitals early on. Photography was invented in 1826 wasn't usually used by the wealthy though? Observation and experimentation wouldn't be far off especially if people were looking into the fungus.

It’s a part of the creature isn’t it? Like it was peeking ?

Looks like employment to me but I can see biologist too. Doesn’t help that it’s half cursive and half regular letters lol

Can't wait to hear how hay bacteria turned a human into a metal tripod 😂

Yeah the camera holder is the one having the autopsy, and time gets trippy here because the tripod monster is, and hear me out, one of the motion cameras used in this video. They look identical, and it would explain the warnings not to move, since it's a motion camera it's vision was only turned on when theres movement or audio. You can see its the guy too because the monster grabs the victims right side, the side that's badly damaged in the autopsy. It's a crazy time thing that no one can explain
