Jack Torrance: Fully Explained - The Unrelenting & Immersive Paranormal Footage ARG

Jack Torrance was the first Night Mind Case File and, at the time, the most mysterious and obscure webseries I ever covered. Now, it's evolved into the most unrelenting and immersive ARG to ever appear on the channel.

Coyotes sound *incredibly* human. When I was vacationing in Northern B.C, I heard what sounded like a hyper woman laughing right outside of my cabin. Scared the crap out of me because I then heard scratching at the door and that laughter at the same time. Took me a lot of courage to look out of the window to see this scrappy, but surprisingly big coyote trying to get into my temporary home, probably because it smelled what I was cooking. I was only staying for one night anyway so I wasn't too freaked out, and the guy who rented the cabin to me had a laugh when I told him about it because the coyote's apparently a reoccurring visitor that regularly spooks people, but still shows signs of being scared of humans, so it's no big threat. Goes to show that sometimes the 'supernatural' is actually quite down to earth, or even more mundane than you thought, lol!

[@biosaber585]

@@kynewicker3256 still probably a good thing their guide told them to get out of their though. Coyotes scared of people or no can be really territorial and as Nick said they weren't armed and they ARE on private marked property. Chances are their guide knew what it was and rather than freak them out just got them out of their to be safe. Or it could be squatters, but those guys can be even more dangerous

[@kynewicker3256]

@@biosaber585 Exactly, couldn't agree more! I have never been intimidated by a territorial coyote, but I've been intimidated by a strange acting raccoon that I stumbled upon when going through a back alley once. Scary little thing actually followed me all the way out of the alley, and for a couple of blocks before giving up, it was that insistent on making sure I wasn't going to go anywhere near where it was camping (or maybe had babies).

Little FF. That five pointed candle we saw burning that looked like a hand was specifically designed that way if not an actual hand.

[@tunguskalumberjack9987]

Hand of Glory, yeah- also (supposedly) popular with burglars for keeping the residents of a house asleep (or at least immobile) while the burglar sneaks through the house taking items. It was probably just one made of wax, as they began becoming popular at New Age shops in the 1970s, and now easily found and purchasable in many other stores- most people not knowing the rather morbid nature of the originals. I haven’t watched the video yet, just reading the comments first- good eye, though. I haven’t seen anyone else mention that so far-

Thank you NM for being so sensible about the locations. As someone who grew up in areas with a large number of buildings in extreme disrepair, never assume they are unmonitored. We had several barns and shacks at the far end of our property that hadn’t been used since my grandfather bought the land in the early 50’s. Because of this, we knew when cars and people shouldn’t be there. Also as a landowner you don’t know if strangers have good or bad intentions and so we responded with drawn weapons.

@@HannibalBurgers There's so many good filming locations for horror down here. When I was a teen my friends and I went to this railroad track that was supposedly haunted, I don't believe in anything supernatural, but that place is creepy as shit and there's graves from literally hundreds of years ago during the Texas Revolution.

[@pugfugly1989]

"Sequitor Infectia" in modern terms would roughly be equitable to a viral video.

[@DoomsdayIsComing73]

Well Sequitur, as it was spelled on the tape, means “it follows”. Infectia is not Latin. Infectio would be the closest word in pig or “vulgar” Latin. Infectia was a Marvel comic character. I am not sure where you got viral video from those two words? Sequitor is the past tense of Sequitur.

[@Foul687]

Crazy to randomly stumble across an ARG so close to my hometown! Heck, my mom still lives in Georgetown, I wonder how easily I could find these places if I was to look around town

32:04 Blam, mystery solved. Just some hipster who wanted to share their favorite records and get you to shell out for a record player Great job, gang, everyone go home

[@TheVerminGod]

Holy crud the last bit of this ARG really hit god tier. Taking pics of peoples houses (Given it was only through google) was really creepy but it was a nice touch considering you hit the "Climax" of this story in a way. It was very much thanks to you that Jack was able to finish this story. You took one hell of an initiative and Jack latched onto it and invited you into their creation and Im so goddanged happy! Thank you for this Night Mind! And thank Jack for this adventure!

[@thetransfembea4421]

1.I remember being at the stream with the curse and being scared out of my mind because it was 12am and I was a child 2. I’m pretty sure after that night mind actually assured the audience watching that cursed aren’t read and that made me feel better Idk why I’m writing this but it’s fun to look back on old memories

[@DKSGamingandArt1357420]

Just so you know, they make compact VHS to regular VHS adapters so you can play the tapes on a regular VCR. If you often use the VHS-C tapes, it might be something to look into getting. They shouldn't be too expensive these days but they were never that common either.

[@lycanthrope182]

Ngl, my interest in this channel completely died during the time when this Jack Torrance stuff was going on. But watching this now, a couple years down the road, it's kinda fun to watch

Good to see that you’re still in the field Nick!

[@spencer2697]

Very intrigued by the Leviathan curse.. I’ve suffered with back problems, mystery pain, and other various illnesses for years and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few years back. Fun to see parallels from a favorite ARG to my personal life.

ok im gonna be real though at like 51:00 before nm started talking about the symbol being omega i was like "haha its a horseshoe get it because there were horse noises" and hes right about it being omega, too, but i also winder if the horse thing was important...

[@thedragonknightlord2732]

horseshoes are often related to luck! a right side up on means your gathering luck (Like putting it in a bowl) and upsidedown can mean two things. 1. spilling the luck, and using it. 2. it can mean bad luck, some believe it means you losing all the luck. at least this is what I've been told through my life.

[@DeeDust]

And this is why having a PO box is so nice.

[@ChBgt909]

I noticed the hand of the person recording the video with the modern camera in the video "Nighttime Return" has nail polish (0:48) which might mean is a woman, there's a girl bleeding in a dark room in the video "VHS-C: 12.00000.00 / Token: 74", and in the video you found in the USB the voice is of a woman... what if that girl in distress and bleeding is the original owner (or one of the owners) of the jack torrance channel and was caught by the entity and that's why the channel went silent? Another thing you can notice is that the latest videos have old format but are clearly recent, what if the last video from 2016 is also recent with the entity capturing the girl who owns the JT channel and disguising the video as "old"? (proof of that might be that the last video from 2016 has a tag that says "ask forgiveness" and "repent"). One more thing, inside the the house in the video "Nighttime Return" there's a Happy Birthday balloon, and the packages you found on your field investigation all had Birthday related stuff, does that mean something? (perhaps the birth of the entity into our world?) Just sharing my thoughts
