5 Creepiest Websites (That No Longer Exist)

There’s no denying that art often overlaps with the macabre and the creepy...

In 1999, a video known as “Strange Dolly” circulated online. The video was one of several featuring an apparent former supermodel and internet personality who had allegedly been disfigured in a train accident, and who had rebuilt her body from components of mannequins in place of prosthetics.

She was generally shown to be confined to a wheelchair in a truly bizarre costume, wearing masks and wigs, and exhibiting a haunting manner of movement which regularly involved wooden hands on sticks. Her odd behavior was attributed to her having been the subject of various experiments. This was Shaye Saint John...

I think we can agree that the homogenization of the internet has destroyed some of the fun

The story of how Silk Road was brought down is both hilarious and horrifying. It was literally one flub after another and a bunch of stupidity on both sides.

Please never change your opening! It is awesome and hypnotic. Very original. ❤️

Strange Dolly: the modern equivalent of an old world circus freak show.

I emailed Gene Ray in the 2000s at some point when I was in high school about the Time Cube. His response was super crazy. I don't doubt for a second he had some serious issues lol.

Imagine being diagnosed with schizophrenia and you're immediate thought is "Wow, I'm so smart I come across as schizophrenic!"

I find it endlessly hilarious that millennials and gen z finds late performance artist Shaye Saint John "creepy". They used to perform live in Los Angeles at the Cal Institute of Arts, she's hilarious commentary on L.A. culture, celebritism, plastic people, gay chic, and the wake of people like Paris Hilton. I guess you had to be there. I have her Triggers Collection DVD, it's totally yum-yum, Hello Again.

I miss the Shaye Saint John character. It’s sad what happened to the guy that created her. Really wonder if he had not passed away, where he would have taken her story and videos. 😢

We should be grateful for the internet(including the dark net), because it has revealed how incredibly wicked and sick a lot of people are

Nevada tan is the girl he speaks about on the red room. The university hoodies kept selling out and when they found out why they stopped selling it. The reason is she killed her best friend and on a school photo she is wearing a Nevada hoodie

I have the triggers compilation dvd from Shayne saint John. Weird stuff. I was unaware the site is no longer a thing. It was a truly bizarre and unsettling website. Rest in peace, Eric

Please make this a series. I'm sure there are more phantom sites to be brought into the light.

Roberts gets life x2, while OJ plays golf. Something is fucked up in our legal system.

That intro is more nostalgic than anything else...

Don't tell me there's a cover up of anything, when good ol ray can give public speeches at an institute of technology 🤣🤣

[jeremyswanson]

Your voice and presentation style are great. Thanks for all these!

Regarding Gene Ray and the Timecube. I find it interesting that the late Terence McKenna said in his lectures that while on a DMT trip, a cosmic being asked him does he know that each day consists of four separate days which resonate in time itself through interference patterns, causing various events to happen based on the pattern. He was told that these resonance events can have even hundreds of years in between. Maybe Gene Ray has visited the same space?

The shaye saint John definitely was very uncanny when i watched it long ago on the YouTubes. It was one of the few videos that creeped me out and gave me some nausea.
