I want to preface this by saying I'm largely an agnostic materialist. And while I acknowledge the space for the metaphysical to exist in the gaps of limited human perception, I tend to scoff when I see paranoid Christians calling anything that threatens their worldview a demon.With that being said, I had a strange experience in the YouTube comments section last night. And while I want to clarify from the start that nothing explicitly paranormal occurred, It rattled me enough to stick with me all day at work today and to get me back on 4chan for the first time in months to account it.It started a few days ago when I commented on one of those ambient YouTube checkpoint videos that prompt you to comment about whatever you happen to be struggling with when it comes across your algorithm. I've been feeling especially stressed, depressed and overwhelmed with life lately so I put all the ugliness of my inner struggles into a big blogpost of a comment and posted it for the world to see (I didn't include any personal information). The comment picked up some traction and it ended up getting a handful of replies from kindred spirits commiserating and wishing me well and whatnot. Then a couple of days later I got a really strange comment from a really strange account. Unfortunately, the spoiler is that the comment has since been deleted and I don't remember word for word what it said. But I read it many times and I feel confident I can recount it accurately here. It said something very close to this: "Hey, I know a fun and productive way that can make things better. If you want to know how, just reply to this comment. Once you reply, I can help you." (Continued in next post)
The username was either "Grace Sworne" or "Sworne Grace". The channel had no content and 21 subscribers. The profile picture was a genuinely horrifying humanoid face with red skin, a gaping contorted smile with at least four extra rows of teeth descending down the back of its wide mouth. It had no nose but instead some kind of smudgy scar where one should have been. It had wide black eyes with red irises that were slightly cockeyed and looking in opposite directions. Now I can't fully describe the conflicting reaction that I had to reading this comment but let me say that I felt simultaneously, EXTREMELY curious and strongly compelled to comment and ask for their assistance while also feeling a deep and visceral fear and aversion to anything this user was saying. And given the context, both of those conflicting reactions would seem appropriate enough if it wasn't for how strongly I felt them. I spent the rest of the night obsessing and agonizing over whether or not I should reply. I drafted several different responses, hovered my cursor over the reply button so many times, but something just felt so wrong about the whole thing, it kept me from clicking reply. After a couple of hours of going back and forth between this inexplicable compulsion to reply and equally puzzling fear of doing so, I noticed my cat had been demanding my attention so I got up to pet him for a minute or two. And when I came back to my computer the comment had been deleted.
That's basically the whole story so I apologize for those of you who were looking for something more explicitly metaphysical. But I bring it to you today because there are three aspects of this experience that seem particularly unusual to me.1. Why did some YouTube user with a deeply disturbing demonic profile picture offer me help with the stipulation that I must reply first in order for him to help me? If he wanted to help, couldn't he have just said whatever he wanted to say in his first comment? Why did he insist that I reply first? Something about this got my hackles up and reminded me of that old adage about vampires needing to be invited in etc.2. Why did I have such a strong reaction to this comment? Why did feel SO strongly compelled to reply while also feeling genuinely terrified of doing so?3. Why delete the comment? It was deleted several hours after it had been published and since then, I haven't been able to locate the user on YouTube.Am I losing my mind or was there something strange about this whole thing? Is it possible this was some kind of demonic entity baiting me into something?

>>422880451. It's far easier to influence someone if the victim shows a willingness to be part of it. By expressing your interest or accepting help, you consent to being influenced. You're not wrong about the invitation aspect, however its in reverse. You're not inviting them, you're accepting their request to be invited. The reason why this is done is because the outer membrane of your being is conditioned throughout life to harden and resist intrusion. It's still possible for a capable practitioner to break through, but its far easier when their request is accepted. By consenting, the hostile practitioners influence harmonizes with your membrane and they can slip right in.2. You have a soul and it has survival instincts, quite good ones from my read of your account. The reason you felt compelled is a sneaky trick. A hostile practitioner doesn't need an accepted intrusion to tempt you to accept the intrusion. The mind reacted to the temptation, a temptation that the hostile practitioner made by setting their intent to gain access to your being. Your mind reacted the same way that the body reacts to porn.3. The comment disappeared once your obsession of replying passed its peak. Think "the night is always darkest before the dawn". The hostile practitioner knew that point was passed and deleted the comment to retract their intent like a true professional. I have no doubt your cat saved you from whatever you were targeted for. Likely that he instinctually knew something bad was going to happen, so he distracted you to get your mind off of the obsession during the worst of it. I despise cats but I'll never deny that they have some seriously good instincts
>>42288039Thank God for your instincts and your catWhatever that was tried very good to get you own, even if you dont belive it, always trust your gut instinct and animal reactions.If you feel something is deeply, deeeeeply wrong, hear it and go alway.Sometimes i felt that turning a way on a street was a "bad choice" so i chose the other, didn't know what could happend, but i am here, alive and healthy with zero problemsTake that as something All the blessings OP and may your soul have true will and favor
>>42288027>>42288039>>42288045Hear me out, but I think this could either be someone larping or maybe a scam.In China there was a scam called the "Uber ghost scam", where drivers intentionally made their profile pictures uncanny to scare those that booked rides with them into cancelling to collect the cancellation fee.Scary profile pictures thus aren't necessarily supernatural, they are just made that way to grab attention. If it's under a more spiritual or serene video like an internet checkpoint, the person behind the account might know the viewers of the vid might be more spiritual and are trying to play into that mindset with their intentionally vague post.A lot of those scams use wording like that where they bait users into engaging first instead of saying everything there, it's an engagement tactic.
>>42288763But this is on youtube and dosent explain his viceral reactionHe paid nothing nor put any fee in thereSeens like a very out of place explanation
>>42288862There are bots that try to get people to click on links there, but I don't think this is a bot.It being a super small channel makes it hard to discern intentions. Maybe it's someone trying to genuinely help or someone larping. The weird feeling might just be op's gut feeling or natural uneasiness looking at such a profile pic. It's understandable when the comment itself is so vague that you can't tell the intentions.
One things for sure: this is too lame to be an LARP.
>>42288919And not too interessing to become a big threadHere we have a small gemNot very bright, but still has some sparks
>>42288039Not surprising but i didn't find any "sworn grace" or "grace sworn" in the youtube channel searchWould OP be able to send us the Ambient video in question? Might find something in there tooIf he wants to
>>42288027>Once you reply, I can help you.Demons can only truly get into your life if you give some form of consent.
>>42288027>>42288039>>42288045Well, as I said many times, literal demons run the internet. Seems one really effed with you.
>>42288763Damn, Indians are still getting paid when I cancel? I try to time it until they are about 500-600 metres away
>>42289354This is unfortunately bs, though it is possible to let them in too.
>>42288763>>42288916I head about that. Probably a coverup operation or trying to get folks to get used to online demonic activity.Also, I once had a demon or something evil online tell me I would submit. Well, maybe not me specifically as it was an unrelated reply to another user, but I figured it was for me. Had 666 in the username and was named 'Ava Satana' I think. I called them out and they eventually changed their name and put humana in the place of Satana. Still weird.
>>42288027Mentally disabled reaper ahh picture
>>42288463Op here. I have to leave for work soon so I won’t be able to reply to many posts until later today but this is a quick and easy one. It looked very similar to this except it was more two dimensional and cartoonish. Almost like it had been done professionally in ms paint. Also it looked a bit more humanoid and less blobby than this. But it’s very close
Bump for interest
Thanks for all the replies anons. I have to leave for work before I can take a look at all of them but I'll see if I can find some time to monitor and reply at work. If not, I'll definitely get back on here this evening if the thread is still up.>>42289128The name was definitely "sworn" with an "e." I don't want to link the video as my YouTube channel has some personal content on it and getting doxed on 4chan sounds almost as scary as getting possessed by a demon. Either way, I can assure you that the original comment is long gone and I can't find any trace of that user elsewhere in the comments section
>>42289933>>42289128*sworne* with an "e"
>>42288045thx for sharing your experience.on 1.: he may have asked for you to reply because he wanted to know you will be there to read his response, or because he sought attention.on 2.: to me, you seem like the kind of person who would tend to react strongly and deeply to other people. very inquisitive and mindful. i imagine you do not often comment on youtube videos, so maybe you were particularly interested in the responses to your comment. basically overthinking. maybe this comment just stood out because he sought to interact with you and it wasn't what you expected in a youtube comments section. idk.on 3.: might be that it wasn't deleted. if you sort the comments by "newest first", it might pop back up. youtube sometimes inexplicably hides comments. or perhaps it was removed for bot activity. but usually when people say a comment was deleted, they were simply duped by youtube's mindnumbingly strange behaviours. but if it really was deleted, perhaps because he no longer wanted to monitor his comment awaiting a response because he didn't expect one anymore or no longer had the time beyond that short timewindow of a few hours.those are some of my initial thoughts on your questions. again thx for sharing, you have a genuinely amazing, captivating and sophisticated style of writing. Bravo∘!
>>42289872Hey, I know a fun and productive way that can make things better. If you want to know how, just reply to this comment. Once you reply, I can help you.
>>42289941WowThis one not only didn't have a result, it had ZERO resultsNormaly they would atleast recommend channels with "alike" names, it happend with the sworn graceWeird
>>42289933Sheesh OPThe results came with a dead zero overall, no channel at all not even alike channelsAs said in the other post, pretty damn weird
>>42290042Oh wow, yeah this is it. I guess I misremembered the spelling of sworn. Sorry for the confusion but nice job digging it up
>>42290063took me literally 5 seconds. is this still u OP? i thought youre working
>>42290065Fuck my chud life and my youtube channel searchMine gave nothing, but good search anon
>>42290065Still me though I can’t prove it I guess. Posting from my phone before my meeting starts. I guess I misremembered some details about the face but I did my best from memory. I suppose I’m a textbook example of that whole eyewitness misidentification phenomenon. But yeah that’s 100% it.
>>42290042How did you find it?
