Possibly Cursed & Dying...Or Just Crazy

Once upon a time, I stumbled across a video by the channels Top15s that talked about supposedly cursed YouTube(?) videos. The first one listed (#15) was a video that's said to curse you if you watch it; The first sign is a headache and you'll end up dying a slow death.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? And if this is nonsense?

A youtube video is going to decide your fate. Not.
 
Of course it's nonsense and people have been watching too many horror movies such as The Ring, but there's always been similar things. I remember receiving a chain letter that stated that you would have happiness and good fortune if you passed the letter on, but it then talked about the horrid things that would happen if you didn't. I chucked it in the bin and I'm still here many years later lol!

PS. If a video uses binaural beats perhaps even with synchronised flashing lights for extra effect it could feasibly make some people feel different however, especially if they listen to it with headphones, but this isn't a curse. Remember all these videos are made by people trying to get fame for their work and/or views on Youtube, if I wanted to make my own "cursed" video I would include binaural beats, but many will use their own unique ways to frighten people, I've just watched a few and laughed at them, lets see if I'm still here the same tomorrow.

The fictional cursed video featured in the movie The Ring where you would die 7 days after watching it:


Watch out for a phone call after you finish watching lol!

According to the Bible a curse is only powerful if it's just for example :you verbally abusive someone then the curse would be powerful if not it's just spite
I can't quote where it comes from my memory is bad

In all likelihood it's pretty much nonsense, though they can reinforce the illusion by using tricks like the one pcjnet mentioned. Because really, if things really were cursed (especially to die) as people say things are, I doubt things about it would be as quiet as they really were, because you know someone'll try it just for the hell of it. Anyway, being worried about this doesn't make you a stupid or gullible person, in case you were wondering, because many people get fears about stuff like this, especially when coincidences add up enough to convince you it may even be possibility. It's only human that you'd look it up just to be sure.
 
Discerning fact from fiction. Or when the lines of either somehow become "blurred". If that happens, it might pay to simply back away from fiction altogether for a proper sense of perspective rather than to be consumed by it.

Reminds me of one of Tom Hank's very early film roles which covers this issue rather well IMO. And yes, ironically the story itself is fiction. Though the subject matter itself....maybe not.

If you cannot question it, if it remains ambiguous, why would the source then be trusted?
 
My superstition level is zero, or less than zero. Unlike most of the people who surround me... Geez. : )
 
Well I'm still here a day after watching various so called cursed videos including some that were supposed to induce nightmares, well guest what? As expected I've experienced absolutely nothing stranger than usual lol!

PS: Regarding superstitions, I had a childhood friend at around 10 years old that was very superstitious along with his family, so much that he wouldn't even come out on Friday the 13th, I kept telling him that the only way everyone would be unlucky on that day would be if there was an apocalypse and staying in wouldn't effect that anyway, but it made no difference. So to show him his superstitions were nonsense I did everything that was unlucky in front of him which included walking repeatedly round and round under a ladder, spilling salt without throwing it over my shoulder, I smashed an old mirror, I opened an umbrella in the house, I even spat on a crucifix (sorry no offence intended to anyone religious, I was only a kid). It however didn't help convince him when I happened to fall off my bike later that same day lol!

I don't believe there is anything to it, especially Youtube stuff. Things like that always seem to fail the evidence/proof test.
 
The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper:
“Oh, well, this would be one of those circumstances that people unfamiliar with the law of large numbers would call a coincidence.”
 
Logic on steriods...

I pick the number 13 on purpose, (no one else wants the poor thing)...

I walk, and work, under ladders all the time because stuff needs to get done.

I break every mirror I need to, if it wont fit in the dumpster.

Bad news don't come in threes... It comes as long as you are looking for 3 bad things

Wishing on a star... No just amazed and thankful I got to see it.

I have a black cat named Zap, she is anything but bad luck.

I don't think that rabbit felt too lucky losing his life, and foot, for some sick fetish

Knock on wood... Really... Like it can understand this sickness?

Crossed fingers are for people who didn't prepare to hear what they might not like.

The combination to my golf cart stall is 0666 - I figure no one will ever use that combination.

You don't open an umbrella indoors, unless its raining in the damn house, otherwise it pointless.

7 is a lucky number, until they chose another number.

Friday the 13th is just as unlucky as the second tuesday of next week.

A wishbone is a part of a dead chicken... It looks like luck ran out for him, let's eat and move on.

Throwing salt over your shoulder makes you look like you have dandruff...

Avoiding sidewalk cracks is stealing from my OCD, please find your own sickness.

Yep, I'm not much on superstition... : )

My lucky number is 666.

In a store the bill once came to $6.66 so I've been saying it ever since.

I figured it must mean I'm the spawn of Lucifer.
OR
It was the total amount for the things I bought.

BUT

People died that day. Somewhere. Probably.
 
I read that young people have a lot of trouble distinguishing fact from fiction online. Didn't think it had gotten this bad, though.
 
Nonsense at its finest. I've stepped on many cracks, lived through many 13ths and share space with a black cat. I've also probably eaten stuff with "the mark of the beast" (however you're supposed to interpret it) before unknowingly. Coincidence? Nope.

You shouldn't read too much into this stuff at all, let science and facts do the talking instead. Faith and imagination...that's fine too, but really, please don't get caught up in this nonsense. That is a road you do not want to go down, believe me.
