[@AnneBoleynofEngland]

15:43 "What kind of animal is loud enough to overcome the sounds of a flood?" The people infected who don't die succumb to the illness and turn into "amphibious creatures". The roar at the end sounds a lot like the roar at 37:53. That could also explain the missing people. They turn into the monsters. And also the people who call for help and when rescue workers arrive, no one's there. That's my theory rn

The strangest thing about this story is that the city water in some Louisiana parishes actually have too much chlorine added to treat the water, which only gives more realism to the story, and with hurricanes that occur and people that go missing during them, and disease that can spread by tainted flood waters, something similar is actually possible.

No Julia was not an idiot or gullible for falling for it, she was manipulated into it. Let me explain: What she went through was a period of neglect followed by love bombing, or at least in the simplest terms. She was gaslit and called crazy for MONTHS on end about the virus and in the end was even fired. Then when she was at her lowest point they reasured her that she was in fact NOT crazy and that this could be even more dangerous than she possibly thought. She also saw some disturbing stuff in that which made her seek comfort from the people who are now giving her validation. When the opportunity to continue to be around the only people in months that weren't dismissing her she subconsciously has to take it. She accepted the wine because of this, she didn't want to lose the sole thing that had given her validation. Plus she also probably wanted to get drunk to forget about the disturbing images in the lab. It was manipulation, and I feel so sad for her... Even blaming herself for something that wasn't really her fault.

Such a creative project, although I can't get over the fact that biology officially left the chat the moment "virus hatched a worm" came up. Much of the footage actually looks like real parasitic worms that can infect humans. Diseases like schistosomiasis are very real, which makes this a lot more terrifying in my opinion.

[@Cascada2009]

The virus could be like a spore, using RNA or its own DNA to mutate growing Stem cells into worms.

[@testerwulf3357]

Yea, looks more like a parasite to me than a virus but whatever lol; you also cannot "cure" a virus so her holding it off with meds and cancer treatment is..well..not realistic if it's a virus lol! I think the creator was just a tad confused on what a virus is..Boiling is also used for killing bacteria, I'm not sure about viruses?

[@Hirundo-demersalis]

I remember someone else had a thought about that; the "worms" aren't a separate spontaneously generated organism, but are possibly created from the victim's own infected tissues to help the Tangi Virus spread to new hosts. In order to reproduce, viruses such as HIV or HPV insert their DNA or RNA into ours, so it gets read and copied undetected during our normal cellular processes. These infected cells are anything but normal, however; they behave improperly or grow uncontrollably, causing cancerous growths and disabling immune function, as well making the host infectious to others. Creating worm-like cells is a bit strange, granted, but given that the Tangi Virus is extraterrestrial in origin, it doesn't necessarily have to follow viral reproductive processes we've seen before.

[@muffinmuffin8946]

True, it makes more sense for the worm to 'hatch' the virus

[@catlover2223]

@@muffinmuffin8946 Yes! We see examples of worms using other species as part of their life cycle. Could be interesting if the virus was inside a parasite that infected the human, then the human was either part of the lifecycle or an incidental host.

[@heathenly_aesthetic7233]

Also, I had a thought that maybe the creature we hear at the end might have been our answer to where all those missing people went... Not necessarily because they were consumed by it, but because it was using the parasitic infection to create a neural network within its prey, which would then puppeteer the infected toward it. From there, it would assimilate the flesh of the infected into its own biomass. Initially, this thing could've been living in the river, hidden. Biding its time and feasting on the free resources. But it would eventually need to further its growth, yes? So perhaps it became so large and ravenous that it caused the river to overflow so that could extend its reach and have access to its food supply. Eventually, there would be no one left to oppose it.

Honestly when they mentioned that the people would go to the river, I was like "ok, so that would be the reproducing cycle, right? Get the hosts back to the water to get the cycle going again". But mutation is quite interesting! Also, noticing how there is an urge to get out of the city (first with dr Julia thinking about going to Ireland or France, and then that warning to leave the parish when, by that point, a lot of people would already be infected). Spread, spread, my children, I guess...

[@floatingfroggy]

Sheesh. that teaser was well done. How chaotic and scary! I would like to propose a theory on why it was scary. Besides the spooky white noise and the screaming, I think there's something in that teaser that exploits a fear that might be deep within us all. The fear of viruses and bacteria. With the Covid pandemic in recent memory, we can likely agree that people are scared of getting sick, and scared of a invisible foe that will make them sick. And viruses/bacteria have wiped out countless humans over millions of years, so we might have evolved to be afraid of viruses. In fact, it's likely that our pre-human ancestors from hundreds of millions of years ago already had this fear within them, and we just inherited the fear from *them.* And I think this teaser reawakens that fear with us (and maybe the whole video, which I have yet to watch, sorry). (If there are any scientists here, maybe they can fact check my theory of evolved fear, and see if it is valid.)

[@gachatana9656]

Psychology calls the evolved fear; ancient fear! It's a real theory that claims that we can "learn" fears (such as fears of predators) over generations! Of course, we can assume the same for pathogens too!

Well no. You would also die at that temperature. It is possible for humans to stay in hot water for a while because only the outside of your skin warms up to that temperature. But to kill it your insides would also have to reach that temperature, which’s not something you can survive.

[@ZKP314]

When I saw the initial version on the channel, I initially thought it was an allegory on how we should take care of our environment lest it comes back to bite us. The updated compilation makes it abundantly clear that, yes, there is something else going on. And it's a lot bigger than one river...

[@wand3ringidi0t]

Rewatching this because our state was screwed over by the hurricane and we had a boil water advisory and it reminded me of this lol

[@ScorpioKing_Gorgle]

The boil advisory gets lifted: “TIMMY DONT DRINK THE WATER PLEASE NOO-“

[@Tanni.3]

If the water is infected would that mean that the crops they grow could be infected as well? Unless they don't grow them or use different water somehow?

[@VillainousToaster]

As a lousiananian, I will say that next to none of our farms are near rivers, we get enough rainfall to not need irrigation.

[@VillainousToaster]

Side note: rivers in Louisiana have very unpredictable highs and lows with dangerously varying levels of height. Any crops beside the river are liable to be flooded and destroyed after even the smallest rainfall. If crops are close to a river at all, they are behind a levy.

[@Tanni.3]

Could the rain also be contaminated because of the water cycle? (collection, evaporation, condensation, and precipitation) or is it far reach?

[@VillainousToaster]

​@@Tanni.3that seems way too far, as what's in water does not turn into a gas when the water does, especially not a living organism like the constituent parts of the tangi virus

[@twiesix]

@@Tanni.3 probaly not as it EVAPORATES.

“a life straw will probably work” the equivalent to saying “just put ice on it”

[@Lobos222]

I really get the vibe that this is inspired by a real story tbh. As in the landfill poisoning the water is VHS footage that seems, while out of context, to look real. Oh and viruses are not alive, bacteria and PARASITES, eg the real Guinea Worm Disease (yeah, the worm footage was also real, but obviously out of real context). Which infects you if you drink the water or stand barefoot in infected water. Borrows into your muscles, can become close to a meter, yes M!, long inside your muscles or intestine. A horrible infection of a parasite. Boiling the water (at sea level) for a while will kill the eggs.

[@ErinKTheWriter]

So if you are just slightly above or below sea level, boiling won't work?

[@Lobos222]

@@ErinKTheWriter The higher you go above sea level. The lower the boiling temperature. If high enough, you can have boiling water that is not hot. It is the heat over time that kills stuff in water.

[@ErinKTheWriter]

@@Lobos222 Thanks!! Sorry if my question sounded stupid. I genuinely never knew that boiling water is different at different sea levels.

What if Water is an addictive substance? Like alcohol or opioids, severe addiction can lead to deadly withdrawal. What is drowning if not overdosing on water? This series has me convinced. I am now Anti Big Water

Bro i was waiting for someone to cover this, I know people have done it but they always count it off as some sorta "local zombie virus" even tho its like the end of mankind

[@Harleymotot]

lol as someone who's studied microbiology and parasitology, trying to rationalize how a virus could mature into a helminth was interesting-- I know it's fictional but I chuckled at that. Also, Giardia is such a uniquely shaped parasite if you ever look it up! It looks nothing like a worm lol

[@vertebralgems]

The footage of the virus looks like it's actually roundworms (Gongylonema pulchrum) if anyone was curious.

[@kamina7347]

Yes!! Thank you bro I've been hoping to see this one covered! I hope you watch the other stuff from vintage eight!

[@Loudx24]

I was wondering when you were gonna check this out. Tbh this is one of the best Analog Horrors.

[@ItsPunnk_]

These videos are spine chilling sometimes. So glad I have someone (Marcus) to watch it with :3

[@hardcorethemonster]

not even joking while watching my mom reminded me i need to drink some water because i don't drink enough and uh when she left i just kinda stared at the water and kept waching it was so perfectly and terrifyingly timed

[@YisehakKebedqethefirst]

Drink the water. I made sure it safe

[@JoJo-dx3zw]

I watch these vids because im too much of a coward to watch em without someone talking and because your a genius i wouldn't have figured all this out on my own

[@randomguy2530]

While watching this video I couldn’t stop thinking of Thorian The Rotten from arcane lineage a giant monster who infects and slowly melts away all matter and he infects living beings with a sort of virus that acts kinda similar to the tangi virus and it turns peoples corpses into deadly enemies that have grown sharp claws made out of tumors and fleshy growths to infect more people

[@JaxG-t1d]

Not-so-fun fact! The video the plays at 28:37 is the same musical that played in the USSR in times of crisis to distract the Soviet people from realizing things like the fact that a coup went down in Moscow!

[@infect_them]

40 : 28 - I personally think that "the monster" is actually one of humans who got turned into amphibians - as stated earlier on .

[@theoryarchon7214]

Fun fact: cats do something similar to this. Their waste has a sort of ‘virus’ in it that, when someone comes into contact with it, they are less afraid of cats. This was originally used to attract prey such as mice, but now it affects humans, too. It’s mostly harmless (as far as I know), but it’s what causes ‘crazy cat people’.

[@notdead5837]

i believe it's a parasite. toxoplasmosis?

[@HavianEla]

It’s actually advised that those who are pregnant shouldn’t clean litter boxes as that virus can cause miscarriages or birth defects, I was told.

[@darthvader473]

38:05 My theory is that the women on the phone or speaker must've been infected already. Cause she clearly must've known that the monster was in the river. Cause she lied that she claimed it was an animal in the water and told the guy to go down deeper, like its a trap set for him.
