I was wondering if you knew that aparently the moorley man is actually slenderman. I just found that out and honestly, next to EMH this is my favorite version of slendy. this is all him. Just him. and its glorious.

[@timthetoolpool]

Is that an old picture of RemyAbode or is he seriously that talented at clearly a young age? Gemini made me feel more uncomfortable than any of the other analog horror around right now

[@HawkTeevs]

The Morley Man is my absolute favorite version of Slenderman I’ve ever seen. It doesn’t have a cult. It doesn’t have proxies. It’s simply an unknowable entity that steals children and literally erases them from history. They fade away from every picture they’re in. Audio recordings of them turn distorted. And worst of all: their own friends, family, and parents all forget they even existed. All while the children are trapped in a plane of existence beyond our own, watching it all happen before their very eyes. Absolutely harrowing.

[@_kuumaa]

Slenderman as god intended

[@pinkeye6803]

I always enjoyed the start of any slenderverse ARG. I dont understand why people liked the whole Proxie thing. I can understand the cult stuff. But HABIT and To the ark.. it just ruined the series for me. And then everyone else thought they needed to copy that. This... this is so good.

[@christopherwall2121]

​@@pinkeye6803 They liked the ARG aspect, like it was a game they could join in. Plus, back when people thought Masky was Totheark, it provided these things with a physical threat that Slender Man just couldn't provide, being a special effect and all.

[@JuanDaMajikOne]

So, the question remains. Why are these people ( children ) being chosen to be erased from existence?

[@FookMi69]

@@pinkeye6803HABIT worked as a villain when EMH stopped focusing on Slenderman imo. It kinda started to become its own narrative moving forward, and HABIT was just a very entertaining villain to me, it didn’t really need Slenderman to be there to keep me invested at that point. Evan’s performance was enough with how batshit crazy his acting was. I can understand why the proxies aren’t a very interesting part to any Slender ARG though

[@FrostyFoxDrake]

1969 is often the earliest date possible on a computer, and is usually erroneously added to images or videos with messed up date/time info, similar to a NaN/integer overflow. It would make sense that files related to kids who’ve ceased to exist would have corrupted creation dates

[@nerdatello]

yo good catch! i feel stupid for not noticing 😑

[@tamar7065]

Oh wow. Well spotted!

[@FrostyFoxDrake]

Although, still doesn’t necessarily explain how it looks like they used a 70s or 80s era film camera to take birthday pictures of a kid from the 2000s(?); the pictures even have age/degradation implying that they’re from the same era as the camera

[@wastelanderone]

@@FrostyFoxDrake my earliest facebook photos from 2008-2012 look very similar honestly we didn't have super great cameras very available until the mid 2010s so very believable for me

[@loganiushere]

I think it’s just a coincidence, especially considering the late 60s/early 70s aesthetic of the photos. Not all file systems default to 1969 (FAT32 defaults to 1980 and NTFS defaults to 1601 of all years) and in fact, no filesystem I know of defaults to 1969 *UTC* (however, the UNIX epoch was in 1969 local time in time zones that are behind UTC, such as those in the CONUS). I could be wrong, though. Would be clever.

[@onedumbgamer9672]

The Morley Drive video really fucks me up because if you watch the cop's dashcam recording, it jumps a whole minute ahead at one point in time but doesnt do so in space. The morley man can manipulate time

[@ShardtheWolf]

Very least, it can distort time. No idea if it has control over it's distortions. It could also be data corruption, not actually warping time. Like causing the clock in the camera to skip, as opposed to universal time.

honestly I disagree, I know it's a hot take but this internet horror works so much better when it's shorter and ambiguous. when you just keep the series going you're inevitably gonna make it less scary by adding way more lore and story to it. it's why I've never liked The Mandela Catalogue.

[@nullera]

I think that distorted spacey voice in the activity video is repeating what the dispatcher was saying in the 911 video, just very stretched and slowed down, which makes it kinda hard to decipher, but if you read the dispatcher text while listening to the voice you can understand it 15:19 "Okay, they're there right now?" 15:29 "Okay, are you safe right now?"

Here's a scary story for you! I'm a 26 yr old guy, living with my girlfriend of 10 years. She knows about my paranormal history (Shadow People, Poltergeists, and other unnatural creatures). But, I never told her about one thing that still scares the living shit out of me. And that, is Sleep Paralysis. I've had a few bouts of sleep Paralysis before in my life. But, a couple nights ago... I truly had the horrifying scare of my life. When I got ready for bed, and I had a stressful day that time. My girlfriend has Autism, and it absolutely sucks when she's suffering an emotional breakdown. It hurts me as well... I hate seeing my girlfriend crying, so I stayed by her side the entire day, and we napped. My girlfriend's name is Sara, and she's the most beautiful girl that I've had the blessed heart of meeting. I'm still head over heels for her! She is my queen, after all! And it's always important to take good care of her... I just want her to feel safe and comfortable, y'know? Anyways, as soon as I got into bed after I turned off my lights... boom, I couldn't move... I couldn't speak... all I could do, was helplessly look around. I was drenched in sweat, and I was trying my best to wiggle my toes or fingers... but I couldn't. I truly felt PINNED to the bed. All of the sudden... I heard a set of FAST moving Stomping noises outside my door... then, it stopped... just, silence. Next, a series of LOUD and EXPLOSIVE bangs were made onto my door! I thought my door was about to break open because of how Forceful these bangs were. In the climax... it stopped, and my door opened. All I saw, was a nightmarish... white female face. Clear as day... she had black hair, and it looked dirty... but what was a dead giveaway to her appearance... was the blood splatters on her white nightgown. I wished I woke up before the next part. Because when I shut my eyes tightly, praying for that woman to go away... I immediately heard what sounded like a "Breathy Wheezing", RIGHT AT MY FACE! I could almost feel her cold breath, the pure dread and primal fear I felt that night. Then, I woke up quickly... with my girlfriend right next to me, who was apparently trying to wake me up that entire time. I asked her on what time it was. And what she told me, made my skin crawl. She told me that it was THREE in the afternoon. I fell asleep at ten at night! I slept over Ten hours that night, and nearly slept through the entire day. She saw me with tears in my eyes, my breathing was choppy, and I quickly looked at the door with absolute paranoia. She asked me if I was okay, and I couldn't even describe what I saw... so I simply told her that I had a nightmare. Obviously, she didn't believe me. She pushed me for more information, and I finally gave in. I described how I suffered from Sleep Paralysis for years, and I must've gone through an episode the previous night. She was shocked, and horrified. Because she too, suffers from Sleep Paralysis. She would tell me that whenever we would cuddle up together and fall asleep, that she wouldn't get the problem at all. And she would sleep way better. I think that put a spring into my step about my Sleep Paralysis problem. Because now knowing I keep her comfortable, even when we're the most vulnerable... puts my heart to ease. Because I now don't really fear my Sleep Paralysis issue! It's been quite easier now, and we've been sleeping way better than before! Thanks for reading, take care!

[@user-xy6wu3xg2c]

I don't know if it's intentional, but I love the subtle implication that those weird photographs you find years later that you don't remember taking could be pictures of victims.

The feeling I get from the morley man is that he deletes everything about a person, their identity, their appearance. The only thing he keeps is the suffering. The thing we hear in the recording of the spectres? Screaming. The recording of the police call? Replaced with screams. The images of the children? Replaced with mangled visages. Dusting broke through and was heard on the camera recording. In the 2010 birthday vid we see what he got for that.

[@Jane155-x6d]

I really liked how cruel this version of Slender is. It's not just that he takes the kids away, every picture, recording, etc... is distorted so there's not even anything to remember them by. The people that knew them are left with nothing and eventually forget them, the people that want to solve this have nothing to grab at.

[@drghostduck]

Usually not afraid by unfiction/internet horror but this definitely stirred something inside of me. I think it's because it just transported me back a decade or so and reminded me of being a kid again, secretly watching internet horror and staying awake at night petrified.

It's really interesting to see a new take on Slenderman after so long. I always preferred internet horror characters to be much more unknowable, like the way the backrooms was before it got SCP'd kinda thing, and I really love how this series seems to be leaning into the eldritch horror potential of Slenderman stuff.

[@OcarinaLink24]

15:18 I’m pretty sure what is happening at the reversed audio is part of the 911 call slowed down and combined with ‘help me.’ Help me! They’re there right now? Help me! Are you safe right now? Though slowed, it has the same cadence and pitch rise and falls as the dispatcher. I’m thinking what they’re implying is the poor thing is trying again and again to get through to 911 but is stuck in the call (potentially a mirror to an original 911 call before he was taken?) no matter what he does, devolving from explaining his situation to just begging for help. Plus, the Moorley man is there right now. And he is not safe right now.

[@fallen_star2319]

There can also be a really horrifying concept - if Dustin wasn't actually stolen in 69, but he was displaced in time and forgotten because of it. A weeping angel like entity that specifically targets children, and makes people forget about them

17:14 oh man that song was it's own jumpscare, I used to listen to it all the time a few years ago when I was mourning. Hearing it disoriented with the title 'birthday 2010' really makes it feel like a parent mourning their lost child instead of a scary video :(

[@bellasage518]

I believe that the Morley man is still very active and is retroactively adding to the list of children who went missing in the 60s. Dustin was in 2010, but all evidence that Dustin existed in 2010 is fading from media and even memory. all his victims are from the same year, yet the quality of the remainders of the photos vary wildly and some seem to be from 2000s or even 2010 like dustin.

[@Justapikachu577]

I believe it's an imperfect anti memetic. It can retroactively distort evidence and remove memories, but it can't fully erase someone. Theres still distorted and warped evidence, the ones we see.

[@CSXIV]

Another commented pointed this out: Most computers have 1969 as the earliest possible date. And when metadata gets corrupted, the computer will say "file created 1969" in absence of actual metadata. The implication is that the Morely Man isn't just corrupting physical pictures. It's corrupting computer metadata.

He doesn't have to wait until it's dark or until you're alone. If he wants you, he's just gonna come take you, no matter where you are and no matter who's with you. That's such scary and bold monster design, I love it.

[@thefrogthatknows5251]

It goes without saying that we're talking about Slenderman. Specifically, a version of slender Man removed from his pop culture depictions and restored to his original characterization. In the original something awful post it said that he targets children and can alter media. Dustin isn't just being taken, he's being consumed. You are watching a child be digested, erased. You're watching him rot away in a form that matters. His memory, his image, his very words are being decomposed. Is very soul, his personhood and likeness, are decaying.

I think the most harrowing thing about this version of the Slender Man is just how absolutely massive he is.

It's neat that Remy's craft is clearly evolving. I remember seeing Pyro watch Gemini, and he was able to point out the rule of three that both Gemini and Mandela had followed. To the point where he was able to even predict at least one of the scares. Which can *heavily* damage the atmosphere, even when your show is a powerhouse like Gemini. But Morley Grove doesn't have that. The scares are subtle, lampshaded, and barely answered. Questions are being asked, and a ghost or demon or whatever isn't using these videos as a medium to answer them halfway. I love it, and I can't wait to see more from RemyAbode.

It's running on the same kind of "impossibly distorted face with censor failure" scare that comes up with Gabriel in the early installments of the Mandela Catalog, but where MC has the benefit of its instance being in cartoon form to soften the blow, the grotesque photorealism of Morely Grove pulls no punches.

When I was that young, though, I'd spend my late nights sneaking on to my cheap, shitty laptop on youtube. I'd browse old uploads, like the freaky ghost proof videos. This really does remind me of when I was kid. It instilled the same sort of dread, that same sort of nervousness. Like I'm almost nervous that my parents are going to catch me watching it, even though I moved out of their home in August of last year. Remy is doing such a fantastic job with his horror, and I am so excited to see where he takes this.

The duster song during the 17 minute mark🥲

[@EllaEllaAudios]

OMG this being covered by a larger channel is so sick, I discovered it a couple of years ago and I was surprised it hadn't gotten more attention especially considering how popular his other project is. So glad to get more eyes on it

[@neliabedelia]

I was watching your Marble Hornets videos the other day, and it made me appreciate how much your channel has grown production-wise! (don't get me wrong, the old videos continue to be hella entertaining) It's such a joy spending these past years following along your content. I don't think I've ever commented anything, so I am essentially a specter emerging from the shadows right now, but I've been watching since my middle school years (I am 21 now), and Alantutorial is how I first found you, so you are def one of the OG horror content creators in my eyes :) Glad to see you covering this one!

[@NotAMoron42]

“Oh this seems neat- GEMINI?!” Also when are we gonna get a continuation for GHE? I was really interested in the mix of cosmic horror, ARG, and conspiracy.

he's having computer issues IIRC

@@artisan2906 well that really sucks

[@dreisclassictv]

Why does this give me very old school slenderman vibes, knowing that something is wrong in the background surrounding kids is a fear I haven’t experienced in a long time

[@ghoulishshift]

God this is such a throwback to Marble Hornets. The way they present Slender or The Operator whatever you'd like to call him is a treat. Always lurking right in plain sight yet somehow never noticed. Seeing him in the back treeline here or outside the window way back in 2009, it will never not give me shivers.

[@lorrithelinguist]

15:21 "Help me, please, he's here right now" is what i got from that

[@Brainwave101]

I've stared at that picture of what's supposed to be Dustin's face for like a good ten minutes and I genuinely can't see it.

[@cerb1221]

FINALLY!!! morley grove is getting traction. ive been watching it since before its most popular video had 20k views. excited to see your take. imo, it does slender better than marble hornets, and thats saying something.

[@SarahBabe]

If anyone who watched the original series is wondering: 'You Are My Sunshine (Version 1)' by Elizabeth Mitchell is the song from the Birthday 2005 and Birthday 2010. ^_^

[@Hedron1027]

The fact that a *specter* actually only takes the children when they *spectate* him is pretty clever lol

[@connor48880]

It’s even more chilling that when I first heard about this and went to watch it, some of it had been edited out So now I feel like I can’t get the full experience, sadly

[@fireskull9emerald]

Lets go i love nightmind videos, im really sick right now so this is gonna be nice to curl up and watch

[@nicheofnight]

I think the reversed audio of the ghost is actually the 911 dispatcher saying "OK, they're there right now?" slowed and edited. The rhythm of the speech sounds the same to me.

[@billy-uj2lj]

I loved Remy Abode's work since 2020, especially his sibling project Morley Grove!

[@GreycatRademenes]

As much as I'd love to see the continuation of Gemini, I'm happy to see another project from Remy! Wish him luck!

[@EUSF76]

Ive been waiting for you to cover on this and it's amazing seeing you cover a slendy series after watching you cover the big three slenderverse series all those years ago.

[@ZimMan2]

saw this video pop up in my feed and decided to look for the original series before I watched you, and the second I saw it was Remy Abode, I clicked that playlist so fucking fast. Gemini Home Entertainment is probably my favorite thing to come out of the analog horror craze.

[@joustjonny8999]

Night Mind is my dose of melatonin after Hearing that smooth voice feed me nightmare fuel and I’m tucked in tight, I sleep like the dead. Never stop posting ❤

[@witchywashy6722]

Yeeessss here we go!! Thanks for your hard work! ❤

[@Fantalla]

Off topic: Idk if youve ever thought about it, but I would LOVE a nightmind pillow or blanket to be able to use when I watch these videos. Your stuff is always a source of comfort for me.

[@blobofdespair]

Such a delightful year for this channel. Really enjoying every series you've covered. Hope you're doing well and taking time for yourself. 💚💜

[@Stevofaves]

Nick, you have been on a spree of top quality stuff lately! From Mr Samuels on especially it's been one hell of a ride

[@littlejofmvfd]

I just got off work. This is the best thing ever!

[@flyer3f]

I actually had to stand up during Birthday 2010 with how much it creeped me out. Ughhhhh there's too many reasons it hit me in the creeps so hard, from the new photo, to the changed old photos, to the zoom ins on the ghost footage and the music askldjsald

[@toehairyum]

Nick is fully embracing the radio dj feel in the intro and I'm all for it.

[@lavender_angel8213]

19:06 I had no idea what I was looking at when I first watched the video. It was obviously something important, I just couldn't make it out. Then I watch your video and I finally see it. I don't know if its because its night time or what but THIS scared me so bad. It scared me to the point where my eyes were watery and I had to pause and put my phone down. Though this is horrifying, I hope we get more of this. This series quenched my thirst for something genuinely scary and I am both happy and angry. More at myself really. Let this be a lesson to never watch something like this before bed. I am going to be thinking about this face while I try to sleep.

[@Brainwave101]

Even with the red highlighting I genuinely can't make it out, trying really hard to match the details he's pointing out to the actual picture and I just can't see it.

[@spoopy-gho5t]

the edible just hit. i am in for a truly terrifying experience.

[@TheKiltedYaksman1]

This was nice and subtle. Takes me back to the early episodes of Marble Hornets.

[@ghostgirl7089]

So excited your covering this!! Im excited to see where Morley Grove goes

[@cyber_hawk]

this made my day thx for makeing my day night mind ^^

[@rockcandyxoxo]

Well done! This is my fave video uv made in a while. I hadn't heard of the project yet so good job 👏

[@luxaskie492]

Ive been super busy lately, so being able to sit down and listen to a nightmind video is so relaxing

[@Arthur-ve5lz]

Lots of people are talking about how the Morely Man erases people's memories of its victims, but that doesn't seem to track with the eye witness accounts. People see it in person and remember, people are away from the Grove when it happens and remember. With this in mind, it's harder to support the idea that the morely drive video is the night Dustin went missing, and makes it much harder to pin down exactly when that happened. The "last seen 1969" labels on all victims lines up with what others have pointed out happens when computers have a corrupted time designation, so I wouldn't trust that either. My gut feeling of the double birthday slideshows is that the physical evidence of the victims decays over time. We see Dustin blurred out as of 2005, but missing entirely in most of the pictures in 2010. Based on the amount of change between those dates, he couldn't have been taken too much longer ago than that. I think the 911 call was made that night in 2010, though. It seems pretty clear that the victims can or do manifest in some way, based on the ghost video.

the ending thing to take your time actually helped alot thank you nightmind
