(i already made a thread about this yesterday but it got no interested while /cultcirclejerk/ got 300 replies, many such cases!)so in the early 2000's there was a little known fad in the internet of "ghostcams" literally webcams in haunted locations, and the whole thing is a goldmine of lost media that is mostly untapped , you can still find quite some stuff about it in the internet archive of the website ghost study from what i can tell there were dozens of websites like these back then, and i remenber quite a few still being extant as late as 2016 or so, nowdays all that remain is the willard library one and some guy with an old house but there used to be many more some of these date back to the late 90's (i think willard might have been the first but i don't known). but the one i am most interested about is asylumcam.com, to keep a long history short this was an forum with 30+ cameras started up sometime in 2003 by a family in missouri that turned into a general paranormal camera sharing website, because you needed an account to even watch the cameras pretty much nothing was saved by the internet archive but you can still find some captures in the ghoststudy website, but i genuinely wonder how much is lost cause the captures we have are absolutely insane , specially when you think these were watched live by an audience over the internet.here are some links (i higly reconmend trawling trough the old ghoststudy website for more, there is so much): https://pastebin.com/V8sD7gw1yes, pic related is another capture from asylumcam, i known next to nothing about it, just ramdomly stumbled upon it while looking at old websites. i REALLY want more stuff to be found about this
>>41192885What is this? A cool thread about paranormal stuff? What do you think this is? /x/?
>>41192912i know right? i still posted it cause there were some decent threads recently (as in this week or so) so i thought hey , maybe
>>41192885Neat. I'm gonna go through this when I get home. Bumping just in case.
>>41193087based, thanks bump bro
Definitely taking a look at this. I really hope some more stuff from that asylum cam website can be found.
Bump. This is a cool thread, anon. Wish there were more like this.
>>41192885I fucking loved the Willard Library website back in the day, and visiting the actual place is on my bucket list. They really played up the ghost angle with that site, even having a virtual ouija board that would often give vague but freaky responses to your questions.Also, the library ghost cams on the original website were fake. I never saw it for myself but I read they would randomly display frames with apparitions that were obviously added in. There was also a 360 degree virtual tour of the library where you could see a badly photoshopped ghost if you looked in a mirror at the top of the entryway stairs.Ireland's Eye was another good site way back when. They had a fuckin leprechaun cam.
>>41193437if you fuck around in the internet archive you will see that the website had like 30-40 cameras at one point wich is absolutely nuts, apparently it turned into a whole community of people giving their own cameras on haunted places to the owners of the site, most of the stuff i found was in the Gstudy website>>41193479thanks , i was inspired by a few good recent threads wich gave me so hope you could have some interesting discussion here again>>41193594from what i can tell there were real cameras too, though the captures in them were pretty meh and vague, though there were some interesting ones like pic related
>>41192885Holy hell, I just noticed the first link on that site is the Lexington museum! I've been there twice and have never heard about the ghost rumors. There's so much cool stuff in there (and up on the deck) that I never suspected a thing. The only part of it that made me uneasy were the restrooms, which can only be reached by climbing down a ladder to the ship's lower level.
zump
Another asylumcam screenshot. (It's in the stairs)
Bumpan
>>41192885Bump
from what i can piece togheter, it seems like the asylumcam main house had this thing where weird images would appear in the screen of the TV when it was off, one of the links in my OP is an example and pic related is another
>>41194592interesting , desu most of the captures i have seen from that one are clearly just people exploring the place, nothing that looks genuinely weird, but it does appear to be have been one of the oldest cameras in the site, there is a screenshot of it from 2000>>41195186really sad who this barely gets replies while some literal discord server of a cult gets more than a hundred
here is the other one for those who haven't seen it yet, it looks so bizarre, i can't even figure out what the image could possibly be.
>>41198064To me it looks like a church obscured by a large tree branch on a very bright day. Which cam is this from?
>>41198990Asylumcam, circa 2004 ish
another one from willard, might just be a person but looks weird
>>41199674shit
>>41192885Not sure how relevant this is but Chip-Chan also comes to mind. (40-something Korean woman with severe schizophrenia, keeps webcams on at all times in her apartment.) I don't have the links on hand but iirc they're not hard to find on Google.
>>41195552He looks like he's just realized he's on camera.
>>41199747what i find most fascinating about asylumcam is that there is basically no information about it remaining in the internet, i am not sure if even true oldfags knew about it, while chip-chan is still vaguely sort of known
another weird willard one
Guys, this thread is way too spooky for me. Pls stop posting scary ghost images.
>>41200244el duende...
Bump
>>41192885>look at the one about leprechaun sightings>they all keep calling him fat
>>41201673Kek
>>41199687Stay calm guys. Solved.
>>41192885cool thread, this is what i come here for. bump
>>41204376It's a little boy juggling a lamp
>>41193594>the library ghost cams on the original website were fakeno fucking way :O
>>41199747>>41199966>Chip-Chanshe could've monetized her content so well a few years later.she'd be a millionaire by now.
>>41204762It’s not Buckethead after all?
>>41205423>mention something paranormal on the paranormal board>WTF DON'T TELL ME YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN GHOSTS HAHAHA WHAT A DUMBASS
>>41205435i never understood the appeal personally, schizos like that, of the gangstalker kind are fairly common
>>41192885I remember in probably 2003-2004 having a friend over from middle school and watching one of these videos. It was a ghost cam of I believe a hallway and about 30 seconds in a women in a black dress appears and I believe screams as well. We both had a very visceral reaction of audibly saying "ew" in between whatever we were saying to each other. We were both genuinenly scared and had to watch the video again to make sure it was just a prank, which of course it was.
>>41207176Yeah, there were some fake ones too, wich i think were inspired by the real ones.
