they’re the stories that make your
controllers tremble welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 video game
urban legends or alternatively top 10
video game creepypastas I’ve been really
busy what for this game we’re focusing
on myths or theories within videogames
with a creepy or horror based theme for
non horror based myths be sure to check
out our list for the top ten video game
myths but if you’d stop human shut the
fuck up with that bullshit number 10 the
spectres of the shiver burn galaxy super
mario galaxy – let’s start things off
with a trip through the cosmos in either
of the first two missions in the shiver
burn galaxy if you go into first person
view and look up on the cliff behind you
you’ll notice three mysterious figures
looking down at you what the hell
poking around in the game’s files
reveals that these textures are called
Hell valley sky trees even though they
look nothing like trees since they look
like well it looks like that number 9
sonic dot exe Sonic the Hedgehog one of
the most well known stories this one is
based off the tail of a bootleg version
of Sonic the Hedgehog with a wait a
second go back what the hell now that’s
only the tip of the iceberg as the rest
of the game follows this demonic Sonic
as he chases down characters from the
game in Twisted blood riddled worlds
[Music]
there’s a fan-made game based off this
story if you’re brave enough to check it
out number eight
squall is dead theory Final Fantasy 8
there are a lot of creepy theories about
video game storylines but this one is
actually one of the most plausible at
the end of disc one swall is stabbed in
the chest with an ice shard and loses
consciousness
[Music]
he then awakens with his wounds healed
for no apparent reason and the theme
shifts from a more realistic world to
one with more physics defying fantasy
elements common in Final Fantasy games
the theory this disc onward is all part
of swalls dying dream
with the ending representing his mind
fading ending with this image number 7
herobrine minecraft the popular open
sandbox game is already filled with
scary and creepy creatures but there’s
one character that supposedly does
something else entirely herobrine is
supposed to be a mob that looks like the
default character skin except with
whited out eyes rumor has it that he
goes around the map building unusual
objects and shaving trees oh shit
no look good
notch has denied the herobrine exists
though he has had fun with the mystery
adding the note herobrine removed to the
1.7.2 update number 6 the fetus from
hell earthbound the final battle of
earthbound has been the subject of a lot
of speculation given its creepy
appearance many fans have in fact
claimed that the final area where you
fight gigas resembles a woman’s cervix
and that the image of Gaia is that of a
demonic looking fetus which in turn has
led to the theory that Gaia is some sort
of twisted anti abortion message the
game’s creator has denied this saying
that it was actually the result of
something he saw when he walked into the
wrong movie theater as a child
number five the Madden curse Madden
series while video game fans can be
manic sports fans are notoriously
superstitious it’s been said that
whoever appears on the cover of the
Madden game for that year is cursed for
that season either by injury or bad
performance for example garrison her
suffered an ankle injury so severe that
he missed two seasons then there was the
new take Culpepper who was on the 2002
cover and had a shockingly bad season
there is a similar curse for the FIFA
series as well though not as prolific as
the NFL trend they catch it at the ATP
Logan seems to have hurt his shoulder or
arm possibly so they’ll check him out
Palmas I’d lock number for the numbers
station fallout 3 this one is a bit more
elaborate than the others on the list
but supposedly if you kill the galaxy
news DJ three dog skip the galaxy news
radio mission and then destroy Raven
Rock then the radio station starts to
send out encrypted messages that predict
the future
like Britney Spears winning an Oscar in
2023 or predicting the death of Queen
Elizabeth on March 19 2014
don’t worry it’s legend can easily be
debunked due to lack of evidence of the
audio actually existing number three Ben
drowned The Legend of Zelda Majora’s
Mask as if the game with a freaky face
moon crashing into the earth wasn’t
creepy enough someone went even further
with this infamous creepypasta story so
he goes that a cursed copy of the game
originally owned by a kid named Ben who
died in a drowning accident is haunted
by the child’s soul in the form of an
empty link statue in a buged twisted
version of the game players who attempt
to play with the cartridge would be
haunted by the phrase you shouldn’t have
done that and you’ve met with a terrible
fate haven’t you number two lavender
town syndrome pokemon red and green
Japanese version this legend claims that
the music in lavender town supposedly
had frequencies in the Japanese red and
green versions of the game that were
removed in the western red and blue
releases the reason supposedly the music
caused hundreds of kids to go crazy and
commit suicide
[Music]
it is a bit of a stretch though since
there seems to be no difference between
the Japanese and US versions of the song
[Music]
before we get to number one let’s take a
look at some honorable mentions
[Music]
number one Polybius the Phantom arcade
cabinet taking the top spot is the
legendarily deadly game the story goes
that an arcade machine where you play a
puzzle shooter would throw all sorts of
flashing imagery at you that would cause
mental health issues or even drive
people to suicide even more sinister
were reports of men in black
coming into the arcades to collect the
game data the cabinet in question was
only said to appear in a few suburbs in
Portland Oregon but naturally there is
no official evidence of the game even
ever existing but still its legacy has
led to many fan creations of the legend
