Strange Flyers Around Portland, Oregon

When a Portland resident discovers a bizarre flyer in their city, they proceeded to share it with Reddit out of curiosity. Unbeknownst to them, they'd be spearheading the probe into a mystery that's much stranger than they thought.

the picture of “The Man” always triggers my fight-or-flight response for some reason

[jeorfryemuntgumry]

They always ask, Have you seen this man? But never, How is this man?

Moral of the story: humans are just so so incredibly suggestible. It isn’t our fault. We’re wired to look for patterns and it leads to a lot of false positives. It’s better to see a snake where there isn’t one than not see a snake when there is one.

I love when he makes jokes in his serious voice, it never fails to make me laugh.

A personal rule I follow when investigating internet mysteries:
“The person who first drew attention to the mystery is often the one behind it. Especially if they vanish soon afterwards.”

I’m sorry but the distorted “have you ever had a dream” kid at the beginning was funny af

[Ara_Arasaka]

Fatel sounds honestly really awesome.
Like. Incredible.
Helping the homeless and unfortunate to have someone to speak with or have someone listen to you is so sweet.

Good on them. Weird dream thing or not. All of the services to listen and act as company are wonderful.

So I wanted to make a quick correction. "Happy Valley" is NOT the salt lake area, it's actually more like Provo, which is about an hour south of salt lake. That area is known to have a high concentration of Mormons, and as an ex Mormon, there is a lot of pressure to be happy and spiritual all the time. I've lived in Utah County (aka Happy Valley), before. It was a bit like living in the uncanny valley as an outsider. The vibe was definitely off. It felt like the city itself was suppressing a secret.

Happy Valley got it's name partly because lots of people in the area are on antidepressants. No judgement, me too, but it's worth pointing out. I also know that one side effect of my antidepressant is strange dreams. Additionally, there's an argument to be made that Mormonism is a cult (some factions of it are unarguably cults, the mainstream one is still up for debate). If you add all these things together, it paints a picture of a potential cult targeting people who are likely to be having strange dreams because of medications and who could potentially be more susceptible to indoctrination. Food for thought.

Redditors who find creepy stuff as soon as they gain popularity:

*Adios*

when you're so tired of using stock-footage everyone else uses so you just start making your own

9 goeh 5 jit is actually Min Nam (Hokkien), a Chinese language spoken in Taiwan, southern China and very common in parts of southeast Asia. It means "5 September" (literally "9 month 5 day")

"Dear Futel, I wrote you but still ain't callin"

No matter how many time i see his face online, I never dream of him.

[obamakiske]

when i just heard modern day cult, i'm like: "Oh boy, here we go again."

[InsanityPlusOne]

My idea of how to hide location when calling from a burner: hide somewhere like the roof of the wallmart you bought it since if they track it the look inside instead, Nexpos idea: go somewhere isolated where you're the only people visible for miles...

Not sure which one is the bad call but one of them has to be.

[arjunsunil]

Nexpo is just so serious then he completely goes of track and says "Please dm me back senpai"

[FlurarInuyi]

Whenever I watch channels like this, I always feel like I'm gathering information I shouldn't have.

[johndavidson]

Saying that bad things will happen on any day in 2020 is like saying the sun is warm and water is wet

I just recently called the "Happy Valley Dream Survey" and after I told them my dream, I got a text back "Have you ever questioned the nature of your reality?". Pretty weird ngl!?!
