  1. “The Chair” (8 seconds) – A static shot of an empty wooden chair in a dim room. After 5 seconds, the chair moves 2 inches to the left. No sound. Never explained.
  2. “CCTV 37B” (22 seconds) – Grainy security footage of a parking lot. A person walks in circles for 15 seconds, then vanishes between frames. Commenters argue over whether it’s editing or a camera glitch.
  3. “Drive_Err_404.mp4” (14 seconds) – Glitching text over a VHS-style recording of a highway at night. The text reads: “YOU WEREN’T SUPPOSED TO SEE THIS.” Widely believed to be a creepypasta, but the original Drive link is now dead.
