What Is The Deal With This Creepy Deep Web Video On YouTube?

I’ve heard stories about the deep web. Stories is what I’d hoped they were, anyway. I was too chicken to check any of them out. See, I love scary stuff, but when truly disturbing things turn out to be real? No thanks, man.

So you see why I’m disappointed in myself for watching the following video.

In case you didn’t (or can’t) watch the video, allow me to explain what it shows. A man (he appears to be Asian) is sloppily eating a chunky soup with a big wooden spoon. After a moment, a strange costumed character with a blank face walks in and starts patting his back. The man, who had previously appeared to be in distress, begins to sob harder and eat faster. It looks like he’s having trouble eating. Between his sobs, it sounds like someone is laughing — perhaps behind the camera? Another costumed character enters and they continue to comfort him.

That’s it.

The video was uploaded first in 2008. It’s been speculated that it’s an art project, a joke, an experiment. The general consensus, however, is that it’s some sort of bizarre snuff film. It’s even been speculated that what the man is eating is human remains.

According to this video, there’s not much to go on — except that, according to performer Raymond Persi, those strange suits are actually HIS characters he created, a duo named RayRay. However, that is NOT Raymond Persi in either of the suits.

In an email, he describes how he had been performing a RayRay show at the Sunset Club when the suits were stolen from his vehicle. He was bummed to find them missing but had a few extra costumes made so the performances could go on.

A while later, he received an email with the video clip attached. There was no explanation.

Even creepier, he said that his characters behaved and moved in a VERY specific way — so whoever had stolen the suits had clearly seen his shows, studied the characters, and knew how to portray RayRay perfectly.

Persi has said he received other videos of the unknown people using the suits. I’ve looked for more videos but haven’t found them yet, and part of me doesn’t want to.

I’m with the general consensus on this one. I think it’s real, not only because of the mysterious circumstances under which the suits went missing, but the way the man cries feels very desperate. It makes you wonder what he’s eating, why he’s sobbing, and what’s going to happen when he finishes the soup — or what’s going to happen if he can’t.

That’s enough Internet for today, I think
