As all of you know by now, YouTube is a huge site. It has given us many good things. It has been the platform for a new way of entertainment and has become the main source of income to many people worldwide. There's no denying that YouTube has a lot of good content. From tutorials to animations. Still, the axiom remains: everything has a dark side. YouTube's dark side is really scary. From videos of people teaching grave-robbing techniques to mentally ill people; from horrible accidents to cryptic messages. YouTube contains a huge number of this type of videos. Here I've made a list of 10 channels that in my point of view are the eeriest, most horrifying to ever exist!
Before we start:
This is by no means a top list. Just because a channel is listed before other doesn't mean it is less scary.
Honorable mentions:
"David Firth" (previously known as "doki66"): Link
This channel didn't make it to the list because it is not entirely creepy. Apart from the scary stuff there's funny, relaxing and philosophical content in this channel.
"meat": Link
Also known as "meatsleep", this channel's story was really creepy and no doubt it was going on this list until I found out that a Reddit user discovered that this channel's creator is the same as "MyDarkJournal" which for those of you who don't know, its a channel that tried to pass a story revolving about a man being stalked and hunted by Slenderman. As all of us know by now, Slenderman is the most overrated creepypasta in history, thus making both "meat" and "MyDarkJournal" channels bul/$#!t stores and lame.
"bensplayhouse": Link
This channel is really weird. Its supposed to be about a man and his slaves which he dresses up in completely black clothes with a white nightmarish mask. This channel's believability is the reason why its not on the list. I see it as an art project. It still is scary as hell!
"Olivier De Sagazan": Link
The channel is named after its owner who is a french artist. One of his videos went viral some time ago (the one in which he makes a clay mask sculpture over his face) and people generalized his content as creepy. Believe me, its not! He's just an artist (and a very good one at that) which happened to make a really disturbing video, that's all.
With all that said, lets start the list:
10."seinfeldspitstain"
Most Disturbing Video: "Jimmy Neutron Happy Family Happy Hour"
This is the only animation channel you'll se on this list. I don't enjoy amateur animations. When I first stumbled upon this channel I didn't think much of it. The obsession with "Jimmy Neutron" made it seem like a kid's project. I watched some of the videos and started getting a weird vibe off them. The video titled "Jimmy Neutron Happy Family Happy Hour" is creepy as an animation can be! The way the characters are animated is nightmareish!

9."nana825763"
Most Disturbing Video: "Cooking Idol"
Creator of the famous viral video "username666", the user "nana825763" is a japanese content creator whose videos are flooded with horrible imagery. Almost all of her videos feature at least one instance of blood as a scare factor. Still, believe it or not the main reason why this channel is here is not only because of its videos. A creepypasta wiki user once came up with a theory to try and explain the video "username666". It was so accurate that nana825763 made a death threat towards him telling him no to dig deeper because he was getting too close to the truth. Seems this sinister username doesn't want its viewers what the intentions behind its weird videos are. The video titled "Cooking Idol" is the one I find to be the hardest to watch on that channel. That doll... ...that creepy-a$$ doll!!!

8."SmileWithMe"
Most Disturbing Video: "Misanthropic Malice aforethought"
This channel contains videos made up of cryptic messages all along, even in the audio. This channel's aesthetics don't help at all to make it less scary. For instance, the channel's banner is just a picture of someone's teeth when smiling. A grin that emits a bad gut feeling. The videos are really hard to explain. Blurred words, black background which hides shapes, forests, machinery, creepy stuff in general. The video I found to be the scariest is the one literally titled "Misanthropic Malice aforethought".

7."Lynn Ann"
Most Disturbing Video: "Forever And Ever"
I honestly think that the person behind this channel has some serious mental issues. This plastic-looking woman is a huge fangirl of Eric Harris. Does that name sound familiar to you? Let me remind you. Eric Harris along with Dylan Klebold were the 2 people responsible for the Columbine school shooting back in 1999! Yes, Lynn Ann fangirls over one of the worst murderous psychopaths the world has ever seen! One of her worst delusions as seen on her "About" tab is the fact that she dismisses al criticism towards her as jealousy like a lot of pre-schoolers do. No videos remain on her channel, however. Maybe because of the massive wave of disapproval that her videos recieved. The video titled "Forever And Ever" is the one I found to be the most disturbing. In it she's seen repeating the phrase "Eric Harris rocks my world" over and over and over again... ...Jesus f$%&ing Christ! I truly despise her and her channel.

6."01A51CD0's channel"
Most Disturbing Video: "ʞɔɐqǝɯoɔןǝʍ"
A very very weird channel. All of the video titles from this channel are upside down. What I know about it is disturbing as can be. It seems that whoever is behind this channel seem to be a stalker or some kind of psychopath. 90% of its videos are creepy encrypted messages. I don't know it anyone has decoded them. Two of the videos seem like amateur recordings, one of someone walking in the street and the other one seems to be about a man filming people on a parking lot without them noticing. The video titled "ʞɔɐqǝɯoɔןǝʍ" (welcomeback) is the one I found the creepiest. I can't describe it. Seriously, it's easier if you watch it than if I tell you.

5."112dirtbag"
Most Disturbing Video: "Happy Anniversary"
This channel doesn't exist anymore. Without going into too much depth, It belonged to a man who either might have been responsible for the kidnapping and murder of US citizen Maura Murray, or a delusional man who got involved into the Maura Murray case on purpose for no apparent reason. Both cases are horrifying as hell! The video titled "Happy Anniversary" was the one that got him involved in the case. It shows him maniacally laughing for minutes on end before winking to the camera...
This channel was deleted
4."ShayeSaintJohn" (Prevously known as "Elastic Spastic Plastic Fantastic")
Most Disturbing Video: "Tissue"
Shaye was a character created by artist Eric Fournier. Her story has been told many times throughout the internet. I think Shaye is one of the most legendary internet characters to ever have surfaced. I am a huge fan of her. Her channel is filled with weird videos, all of them in which she appears doing apparently normal stuff but with a theme of craziness and chaos. The result is creepy as hell. Respect! Eric Fournier was truly a great artist! The most famous video in her channel is "Hand Thing" but is way too overrated in my opinion. The most disturbing video in her channel in my opinion is "Tissue". Let's be honest, if Shaye appears to be scared in it, we're in for a hell of an experience. Screams and weird music aren't a good mix...

3."Elliot Rodger"
Most Disturbing Video: "Retribution"
I won't provide links to this channel. The most disturbing video in it was deleted a while back but can be easily found with a quick google search. It's name is "Retribution" and in it you see the channel's owner vloging in his car, stating that life is unfair because girls didn't pay any attention to him. He also states how he despises all man that live better sex lives than him. He then starts to explain how he is going to get his retribution at any cost and make all of those girls who rejected him and boys who live better sex lives than him pay for what they did to him. Not too disturbing, right? Well, there has to be a reason for such a channel to appear in this list. Let me tell you what he did later the same day in which this video was uploaded. Angered to massive extents, he went to a sorority house in Isla Vista, shot 2 girls to death and wounded another one. After this he went to a nearby deli where he saw a classmate and shot him dead too. He then went into a murderous rampage, shooting pedestrians and running over others, killing 3 people and injuring 14 others, he then killed himself... ...Enough said!
2."Robert Helpman"
Most Disturbing Video: "Daisy unwinds."
I hope I never meet someone like whoever is behind this channel. You might see a theme among video titles. All of them include the name "Daisy". I thought nothing of such a channel before watching the videos or thumbnails. Imagine how I felt when I found out that this "Daisy" the videos keep listing is in fact a dead body that the channel's creator keeps with him wrapped in plastic bags! I don't know if this is real or not. I don't wanna imagine who is behind this channel if it does turn out to be real...

1."Jack Torrance" also known as "Foundmedia23"
Most Disturbing Video: "Found Footage Super 8 Reel 9.5614.564: Fragment 65x"
About 3 years ago, a man named Jack Torrance (not to be confused with the Stephen King novel "The Shining" character) went to an estate sale in Austin, Texas. He bought a box of old betamax tapes thinking he might find old movies. What he found on those tapes is something better seen than told by anyone. The creepiest collection of random films I've ever experienced! The one I have the most trouble to watch is titled "Found Footage Super 8 Reel 9.5614.564: Fragment 65x" but I simply call it "The Dummy"...

And so... ...That's it! I hope you enjoyed this list. If you don't enjoy horror then I hope I left you scared for a month or two. Just Joking. I hope you learned something and scare your friends by telling them the stories of this channels on trips or around campfires. Sweet dreams...
