The format of the homepage for the website
oct282011.com won't seem very odd
to anyone who was using the
internet in its earlier days.
The page is relatively plain.
It contains an all black background
and a few lines of white
text linking to other pages.
The text is cryptic, and many believe
that it might be a page for
recruiting others into a cult.
It was so concerning that authorities
looked into the page but
were unable to trace it.
Many of the internet users
who heard about the page
were curious about the bizarre links
that the page redirected to.
It seemed to be filled
with strange puzzles
that other users were meant to crack.
The site took users to crude drawings
of pyramids and others appeared
to be Schrodinger's Cat.
However, the most tempting
part of the mystery
was a phone number.
For a while, it seemed like
the courage of the internet failed.
Despite being part of
one of the most prevalent
unsolved internet mysteries,
no one reported calling the number.
That is, until the day
referenced in the site,
October 28, 2011, came
and went without incident.
The website never changed,
keeping the same mysteries
it had always held.
Disappointed by the
anticlimactic turn of events,
some followers of this mystery
finally made calls to the phone
number listed on the site.
Their reports were terrifying.
Many reported hearing a long silence
followed by muffled
voices or heavy breathing.
At least one person claimed to have heard
a heavy object being
dragged across a floor.
Some said that the things they heard
were so disturbing that they couldn't
bring themselves to repeat them.
Eventually, the website disappeared
from the internet without explanation.
Some users believe that the
government shut down the page,
perhaps to protect the users
from whatever horrifying things
had been on the other
end of the phone line.
If you try to visit Mortis.com,
you'll be greeted with an error message.
However, that wasn't always the case.
According to the stories surrounding
this defunct website, that's
because the federal government
and the United States shut the page down
when it gathered too much attention,
leaving it one of the most unusual
unsolved internet mysteries in history.
The original website was simple.
Upon visiting Mortis.com, users would see
a screen that was largely blank,
except for a prompt to enter
a username and password.
Once the site was discovered,
many took the challenge,
attempting to crack the login page.
Some of the best hackers in the business
attempted to break
their way into the site,
but none were successful.
However, techies who
investigated Mortis.com
were able to determine that the site
was hosting huge amounts of data.
This added fuel to the mystery.
What could a completely
locked website contain
that required terabytes of data?
Internet sleuths eventually tracked down
the name of the site's owner, Tom Ling.
According to their investigations,
Ling was the owner of a
number of unusual websites.
One of the strangest was Cthulu.net,
a single page with white background
upon which was written the
phrase dead but dreaming.
There was nothing else linked to the site.
Just as the investigation
into linked series of websites
was reaching a fever pitch,
Mortis.com and all of Ling's other sites
were abruptly taken down by the FBI.
Users immediately began to speculate
that Mortis.com had been
some sort of data warehouse
for information about the US government's
more shady activities.
But no one knows for sure
what was really behind
its mysterious login page.
Even if you put Mortis.com
into web archive,
you get the message
sorry, this URL has been
excluded by the Wayback Machine.
Like many of the most interesting
unsolved internet mysteries,
the story of Lake City Quiet
Pills begins on Reddit.
In 2009, a Reddit post was made
reporting that a fellow user,
going by the name
ReligionOfPeace, had passed away.
The user who wrote this mirror, 2-6,
had made their account that day
to inform the Reddit community
of their friend's passing.
While this seems like a simple story,
it gets much more complicated.
Users who had interacted
with the deceased Redditor
began looking through his post history
to find bits of information about him.
It seemed that he had a
history with the military
and loved to insult internet trolls.
He also moderated a
subreddit called Jailbait,
a page for posting racy
photos of young looking women.
However, the most interesting
thing that they found
was only discovered
through a lot of digging
into both the deceased redditor
and the friend who memorialized him.
Dedicated redditors
eventually found a link
to the place where ReligionOfPeace worked,
an image hosting site called
lakecityquietpills.com.
Some speculated based on the fact
user 2-6 had only created an account
to inform the site of his friend's passing
that the whole thing may have been
a publicity stunt for the creepy website.
Despite the speculations, many users
began using the site for their own images
to memorialize the fallen redditor.
Then, some of the more tech savvy members
of the Reddit community began noticing
unusual things in the website's code,
bits of text that seemed to
hidden calls for hit men.
After further research, some redditors
discovered a factory called
Lake City Ammunition Plant,
giving a chilling new meaning
to the quiet pills referenced
in the website's title.
Some users reported the
information to local authorities,
but no one knows what
became of the investigation.
The story of Chip Chan sounds like
a terrifying and surreal
version of the Truman Show,
but it's all too real
to many internet users
who are fascinated by
unsolved internet mysteries.
Many of those who follow this story
are in fear for a young woman's life.
She is known only as Chip Chan.
She appears to be a young Korean woman
whose life is constantly streamed
on a webcam on the internet.
It isn't a hidden camera, however;
she's clearly aware
that she's being filmed.
She spends much of her time sleeping,
but when she is awake, she often seems
to be hiding from the camera.
At other times, she
attempts to communicate
with those watching the footage
by holding up signs written in Korean.
According to those who
could read the language,
her messages are terrifying.
She claims that she's being held hostage
and controlled by a microchip
implanted in her ankle.
Her communications are
often cryptic, such as
the stalker use this skill from 2006,
I have slept for 20 hours
every day since then.
I do not know what have
happened while I sleep.
I have been always afraid of sleeping.
Users believe that she
was a kidnapping victim,
and she often mentioned a
mysterious person called P,
who she blames for her situation.
People watching the livestream
were eventually able to get
in contact with Korean police,
who investigated the incident.
They later stated that
Chip Chan is mentally ill
and is being a nuisance to police.
However, many believe that the young woman
really is in danger from
her mysterious captor,
and continue to watch her footage,
hoping for clues that
may lead to her rescue.

11B-X-1371, also known as
the Plague Doctor video,
is one of the few unsolved
internet mysteries
to immediately catch the
attention of authorities.
In this cryptic and frightening video,
one of the most powerful
people in the world
was directly threatened, leading to
an immediate response from police.
The video appeared on a tech blog in 2015.
It's a two minute black and white video
featuring a mysterious figure
in a plague doctor mask and a long robe.
In the video, the figure paces around
in what appears to be a
rundown abandoned building.
In the background, there's
a jarring buzzing noise.
There are some trees
visible through the window,
suggesting it's near a forest.
The figure holds up his hand,
revealing a light that blinks
with no discernible pattern.
While the video itself is creepy enough,
viewers found even more
encrypted in the video.
The hidden elements are truly horrifying,
depicting mutilated
bodies and torture scenes.
However, the element that
got authorities interested
was hidden in the video's soundtrack.
The phrase kill the president
was heard in the sound's encryption.
Many believed then president
of the US Barack Obama
to be in danger from the video's creators.
Authorities attempted to locate the person
who posted the video, Parker Rind.
Although traces of a
user with the same name
were found all over the internet,
no one was able to link the
accounts to a real person,
even after Rind began to promise
and deliver a sequel video,
containing even more cryptic clues.
He has since promised to continue
delivering clues until
the mystery is solved.
Many users and police tried to
crack the code in the video,
but the clues were just too
numerous and too bizarre.
President Obama's time
in office has since ended
without incident, but that hasn't stopped
internet sleuths from
continuing their attempts
to decipher the video's
series of cryptic clues.
