YouTube's Darkest Channels 7

tell you what we're going to do today more than anything else we're going to do this nice guy must die a nice guy must die a nice guy must die this is my house from the street here is my car this is a two bedroom brick ranch conveniently located It's the final day of February 2008 a 47-year-old man living in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania named George cadini publishes his very first video to YouTube under the channel MOS b46 PGH I paid 79,000 for this in 1996 that's considered a lot believe it or not the upload titled how George Pittsburgh lives was almost like an old school house tour of sorts as George proudly displays the outside of his home before then doing the same inside open it up oh someone left it unlocked that's not good inside okay pan to the other side seemingly making a point of mentioning every minute feature and the otherwise dim and empty home here's my big screen TV it's my computer couch and chair they match uh dining room set shoe box full of old pictures to anyone who may have stumbled Upon This Strange video or sedin's channel in general back in 2008 it would likely come off as entirely uninteresting and far from anything disturbing however to those who find it today this couldn't be more different as the account carries with it a layer of disturbing context due to the events that transpired after this first video was published events that have since transformed the MOs b46 PGH page into one of YouTube's darkest channels please meet every woman's dream do something so she remembers your name you might with you make sure he's someone you can trust be careful is all I can say I'm going to post this and see what comes back [Music] I'm sure most of you guys have heard about the Tik Tok band at this point and honestly there's something about it

wait until it's too late protect yourself today [Applause] little hallway two bedrooms two bedrooms to the right is my bedroom without any context it's hard to know what the purpose of George sodini's first video was if it even had one at all the entire thing just felt so random but within the footage itself was one clue that hints at the fact that George actually had a very specific reason for uploading this with that clue coming in the form of a book on his coffee table hey come over here there's some reading material that we're all familiar with it was called how to date young women for men over 35 which was about as creepy as it sounded my first guest today is a 51-year-old Bachelor who says if you're a single woman over 30 you're a dating has been please meet every woman's dream Don Steel its author Don Steel had made a living as a dating counselor and life coach creat creting various books and programs that were geared towards socially awkward men exploiting them with a promise that someday they'll be able to get the younger girl of their dreams even after they reached middle adulthood and all that they had to do was pay for his chorus pay for the book and dedicate themselves to becoming more desirable and George cadini was the perfect Target despite having a successful career as a systems analyst at a law firm he struggled to maintain any relationships with the women that he met it had been well over a decade since he last had a girlfriend and despite desperately in one George just seemed to lack the ability to connect with women on any level even as just friends and as his isolation began to grow so too did his obsession with finding a girlfriend George had nearly given up these Pursuits too until he was introduced to Don Steel's course viewing the program as his last real shot at human connection obsessively reading the book to the point that he was supposedly able to recite passages by memory alone on top of this he would also attend many of this supposed guru's in-person seminars with some of his visits even being captured on camera and later posted onto Don Steel's YouTube channel it used to be down here it was called a cud piece and it's gradually over the years moved up here so it's red like an erect you know what and it was in these courses where George was subjected to all sorts of bizarre and unsettling ideology turn around here look at me and I'm going to tell you what we're going to do today more than anything else we're going to do this nice guy must die but despite agreeing with this man wholeheartedly and following all of his work George was still making very little progress which was evident by the footage of him attending the seminars as he appears incredibly nervous and kept mainly to himself and so recognizing that George had much to improve on he was given an assignment by one of his instructors he was told to film a video of his house so that the instructors and everyone else in the class could see if he was really making himself and his environment desirable enough to any woman who might come over okay couch and chair they match the woman will be really be impressed rest knowing this the footage feels so much lonelier as it was almost like he was trying to sell his way of living as being good enough for a partner that he was really no closer to finding there's something so depressing about it and this wasn't his only [Music] video it is easy for me to hide from my emotions for one more day take a long drive in the car listen to some music Daydream or just do some mundane task around the house that really doesn't need to be done that's that's not too important and there you go one more day and one more day turns into one more year months later on June 23rd 2008 George would return with an upload he had filmed inside of his basement and in it we get more insight on just how severe his isolation had become though he still held on to a sliver of optimism thanks to Don Steel's course now um RDS says that I have approximately maybe 15 more years to be successful at this and when I heard that I wanted to continue immediately to to start moving on this I didn't realize I had that much time so my objective is to be real and to learn to be emotional and to you know to be able to emotionally connect with people before he eventually reverts back to talking about his uncanny desire to find a younger woman because when I'm 10 to 20 years older than she is you know she has to feel good about this thing ending the video with hints of an uncertain future I'm going to post this and see what comes back he would never upload again and soon after it appears George gave up trying essentially accepting his life of loneliness but while this would be the last video made to his channel he wouldn't leave the internet entirely soon after this final video was posted a website was launched called George sad. com which served as a place for George to blog about his emotions and while something like this could have been beneficial for him this website would instead only serve to capture his descent into madness an immediate red flag was raised by the very first text you see on the website as George wrote why do this to young girls just read below I kept a running log that includes my thoughts and actions after I saw this project was going to drag on with a line serving as some sort of bizarre disclaimer though with no other context George's entries began December 22nd 2008 time is moving along plan to have this done already I would just keep a running log here as time passes many of the young girls here look so beautiful as to not be human very edible after joining this gym started lifting weights and like it this early post encapsulates what this blog would be focused on young women he would see throughout the day his time at the gym and his plan this plan was never expressly stated on the website but it was something he obsessed over mentioning it in every single one of his posts and dubbing it the Exit Plan even going as far as to provide a date and time for it January 6th 2009 at 8:15 p.

m. before this day would come however he would provide further insight into just how lonely he was moving into Christmas again last Christmas with Pam was in 1983 who knows why I'm not ugly or too weird no sex since January 1990 either I was 29 no [ __ ] over 18 years ago I actually look good I dress good I'm clean shaven bathed Touch of cologne yet 30 million women reject me over an 18 or 25e per period that's how I see it 30 million is my rough guesstimate of how many desirable single women there are with several other posts of the same nature the day eventually came for his Big Exit Plan January 6th with George writing one message that afternoon I can do this this vog is not detailed it is only for confidence to do this the future holds even less than what I have today it is 6:40 p. m.

about an hour and a half to go God have mercy I wish life could have been better for all and the crazy world can somehow run smoother I wish I had answers bye despite this appearing to be his final post George cadini wasn't quite finished as he would come back only hours later writing simply it's 8:45 p. m. I chickened out [ __ ] I brought the loaded guns everything whatever George cadini had been planning that day it was clear that his Exit Plan was something incredibly disturbing and based on his use of guns plural it was likely not just an exit plan for himself but thankfully he didn't go through with it in fact he seemed to have dropped the plan entirely as months would go by without any update to his blog though this wouldn't last as in April of 2009 he began posting yet again with these entries being even more disturbing July 23rd 2009 wow I just looked out my front window and saw a beautiful college age girl leave Bob's house across the street I guess he got a good lay Today college girls are hoes I masturbate frequently he is about 45 years old he was long-haired hot little Hottie with a beautiful Bond I masturbate frequently the strangest part of this entire website was according to those he worked with and the neighbors they all thought George was normal a little off sure but it appeared that these disturbing thoughts and plans were kept solely in his blog and solely in his mind but on July 28th 2009 this would all change George had boarded a Port Authority bus that day and took a seat carrying with him some sort of duffel bag and as the ride commenced he unzipped the bag and began to fiddle with something inside of it an anonymous man sitting next to him noticed this and curiously leaned over to see what he was doing in George sodini's hand was what appeared to be a grenade the stunned passenger ran off at the next stop and immediately alerted the police but bizarrely nothing actually came of this no explosions happened that day and upon police eventually tracking down saden 2 days later he was searched but there was no sign of this supposed grenade and the man who had reported this incident was unable to positively identify him and so George was released allowing him to continue on with his day and to continue on with his posting August 3rd 2009 I took off today Monday and tomorrow to practice my routine and make sure it was well polished I need to work out every detail there's only one shot also I need to be completely immersed into something before I can be successful I haven't had a drink since Friday at about 2:30 total effort needed tomorrow is the big day last time I tried this in January I chickened out let's see how this new approach Works maybe soon I will see God and Jesus this was the final update made to George sad.

com and unlike his previous attempt at carrying out this Exit Plan this time he didn't back out on August 4th 2009 George cadini would enter an LA Fitness in Bridgeville Pennsylvania and walk directly into a woman's aerobics class with a duffel bag in his hand he then dropped his bag on the floor with a loud bang before he closed the door and shut off all the lights in a moment of darkness and confusion one witness recalled that she felt the presence of someone who didn't belong there before a total panic would ensue everyone was just screaming so loud at first I didn't even think shots were being fired it was so surreal at that moment George cadini had brandished two guns from his bag and opened fire on the group of 30 all of whom were women which was entirely the point in that dark cramped room George would discharge his weapon 52 times striking 12 different women and then himself of the injured 49-year-old Elizabeth Ganon 8-year-old jod Billingsley and 46-year-old Heidi overmeer would tragically lose their lives while the others were left with permanent injuries both physical and [Music] mental it wasn't hard to find a motive George had spelled it out right there in his blog he desired women so much that his inability to ever gain a real connection with any of them turned his infatuation into pure hatred and this is how he wanted to make them pay and the ironic part is that this was all so avoidable as these plans were heavily implied on his website which had been publicly available online for roughly an entire year yet no one cared enough about him to ever look it is easy for me to hide from my emotions for one more day knowing what we know now George's channel is highly disturbing as it shows us a glimpse into a mind on the verge of completely snapping and a last gasp attempt at achieving normaly by a person who would go on to become a monster when he didn't get what he wanted just everything I need well that about sums it up hi guys I am with Louis just having having a little drink Mark Williams always dreamed of being a YouTuber he had grown up watching parkour content on the site becoming attached to both its many talented creators and the hobby itself eventually becoming so inspired by it that he launched his own channel in 2019 at the age of just 15 with Mark hoping that someday this channel would make that dream of his come true the page went by many names over the years but eventually mark would settle on the moniker displace and depending on who you ask his videos were either extremely impressive or extremely irresponsible they showed scenes of Mark High toop buildings jumping rooftop to Rooftop climbing on massive abandoned cranes and fleeing from security guards and the cops on more than a few occasions please on the W already now yeah they'll catch me then won't they often seen with him was his younger brother who he had grown Incredibly Close with which was due in part to the fact that Mark was somewhat of a loner and didn't have many friends in his own personal life though according to his mother this wasn't necessarily by choice as she explained that he did desperately want friendship and he was incredibly caring he just had a habit of making the wrong friends describing Mark as trusting to a fault Mark's longing for camaraderie became especially apparent not long after the launch of displace as his brother slowly began appearing less and less in his videos forcing him to to do these Free Runs by himself which he implied was something he didn't enjoy nearly as much my brother who was part of the channel Ben he's he's not now I don't think he's coming back at all he ditched me leaving me by myself and I've got problem of talking to myself as well this coupled with the fact that he was dealing with the tribulations of growing up led to his uploads on the channel becoming more and more sporadic as he would often go dark for a few months only to return with the promise of more consistent uploads all right guys don't know if you can see me or not but I promise you this place is coming back that often never came it was clear that he still longed to be a YouTuber he just needed some sort of a spark and sure enough at the end of 2020 he would find one right in his own comment section in a s deleted video mark would receive a comment from a man named LS Ashdown who explained that he was a big fan of Mark's content and that he would love to join him in an upcoming video as they both just so happened to live in uckfield it was exactly what Mark had been needing a friend and not only a friend but a friend he could make videos with and so that's exactly what he would do hi guys I'm back here with Louis and uh we're going to do the uh water treatment facility in uckfield on the industrial estate see you in a sec guys from their first meeting on Lewis became a core part of the displac channel leading to the two growing closer by the day with Mark speaking about this Bond on a live stream in March of 2021 if you're going exploring an abandoned Pub yeah keep your mate with you make sure he's someone you can trust you know and be careful is all I can say because in the uh the video where me and Lewis climbed the college you know I was constantly looking out for him because he did he did get dangerously close to some of the edges but you know that's what life's about is it but despite finding his new parkour partner Mark still had other issues getting in the way of his uploads as he was now 18 years old and was facing the reality of having to get a job forcing him to put his channel on the back burner Mark discussed this struggle and the many others he was faing at the time in that same March live stream with his tone about displaces future sounding less than optimistic I've been doing some talking with ls seeming like he wants to get back into climbing and stuff I haven't actually done it since Christmas and I've got a bad back I it's been getting worse and worse lately don't know why I need to go to the hospital and have myself checked out I am not sure where my channel is going to go I don't know if I'm going to keep doing these videos I don't know if I'm going to be doing different videos or whether I'm going to stop completely but unlike other times when he had gotten down on his channel this time he wasn't alone and his friend Lewis was there to have his back as he pushed Mark to continue his work even showing up in the comments of this live stream under the name moral unknown where he went as far as to offer up a potential location that they could film their next video in order to get Mark reinpuck Hotel first video back and sure enough just days later the two would arrive at bucked hotel to begin filming yet another video hi guys I am with Louis just having having a little drink this would be their last on the displaced Channel as not even 2 months after it was uploaded both Mark Williams and Lis ashtown would vanish without a trace it was the waiting hours of Saturday May 29th 2021 Mark met Lewis at the marsfield recreation ground to have a few drinks and discuss their next potential video though once there it was the drinks that took priority and very quickly Mark had become intoxicated leading to him calling his house to tell his aunt who he had been living with that he would be heading back now on the call his aunt could tell that he was drunk but lisis chimed in to assure her not to worry telling her I'll get him home safe which made his aunt feel slightly better after all it was only a short few minute walk back to the house anyway instead 12 hours would pass and Mark still hadn't made it back while lwis himself also failed to arrive home at some point during their short walk back both boys had disappeared they were reported as missing the very next morning and the area they were last in was combed thoroughly though very little was uncovered around them had been large pockets of forest and murky bodies of water leading to some questioning if perhaps the boys had gotten lost or even had fallen into the water though regardless of the theories as a full 24 hours passed many began to fear the worst until something strange happened reports began pouring in from Witnesses claiming to have seen Lewis some thought they saw him leaving leaving a local pub the morning after he supposedly had gone missing While others had seen him at a local movie theater seemingly completely unaware that the whole town was looking for him these sightings introduced the possibility that the boys were perhaps runaways causing several pleas to be made throughout the Press begging them to come back home but it would be the police who would find Lewis first tracking him down at his friend named Liam Hansen's house there the cops fired off a barrage of questions as they not only tried to get answers as to where the boys had been but more importantly now they needed to know where Mark was throughout all the sightings it was only ever Lewis that had been spotted and even now after searching this friend's home Mark wasn't there either so where had Mark Williams gone well Lewis himself offered very little outright refusing to speak on the boy's whereabouts but his friend Liam wasn't so quiet as when he was questioned separately he claimed to know exactly what had happened on the night of May 29th 2021 the day in which both boys had disappeared and he knew because Lewis had told him according to the boy the night that Lewis and Mark had met at the park Lewis poured a cocktail for his friend and then another and then another each one stronger than the last causing Mark to become drunk almost immediately realizing he was drinking too much Mark told Lewis that he had enough but Lewis persisted outright demanding that he keep drinking leading to Mark begging Lewis to let him stop at one point Mark's please finally caused Lewis to back off as the boy instead agreed to make him a non-alcoholic drink only for him to fill the cup with even more liquor when Mark wasn't looking by 11:30 Mark could barely stand prompting him to make that phone call to his aunt letting her know that he would be back soon meanwhile Lewis had been so preoccupied with getting his friend drunk that he was still fairly sober at this point and in his sober State he promised Mark's aunt that he would get him home safe seconds after that phone call ended Mark hunched over to vomit which is precisely when Lewis pulled a large kitchen knife from his pocket and plunged it directly into Mark's back Mark stumbled and asked Lewis to call him an ambulance being unable to comprehend what had just happened to which Lewis responded by laughing before doing it again and again and again this is what Lewis had told Liam in the days after the alleged attack but as Liam recounted the story to the police he made it clear that this wasn't just a tall tale as he had actually seen it for himself when Lewis had told him the story he pulled out his phone and put it up to Liam's face revealing that he had filmed the entire ordeal and sure enough when police searched Lewis's devices they would find that footage though it was far worse than they ever could have imagined on leis Ashdown cell phone were seven total videos depicting the attack with a footage spanning nearly an hour in total during which Mark had been stabbed 107 times on top of having a number of other sadistic things done to him and all the while it was said that LS was giggling manically when asked about what he had seen in those recordings Liam provided further detail on just how awful the attack was recounting that HEI Mark's eyes out proper psychotic stuff I was going into shock I was shocked how he came out with it I wanted to run and tell someone this was clearly not a normal crime it displayed a level of evil and hatred that goes past human comprehension and due to its brutality police assumed that surely something must have happened between these two to breed so much hatred inside of Lewis but according to Lewis this wasn't actually the case instead he stated that he had simply found Mark to be annoying and that he had been wanting to kill him for some time because of this and had just been waiting for the right moment plus he always wanted to know what it was like to kill someone and that was it that was his entire motive leis ashtown would be arrested the day he was found and later sentenced to life in prison with parole eligibility in 25 years while Mark's body was found dumped in a nearby body of water and eventually given a proper burial hi guys I'm back here with ls and uh we're going to do the uh water treatment facility with this context Mark's channel is utterly devastating all he wanted was a friend to film videos with but sure enough as his mother had warned he was trusting to a fault if you're going exploring an abandoned Pub yeah keep your mate with you make sure he's someone you can trust you know and be careful which brings us to a disturbing Revelation just months before he would kill mark Lewis was the one that encouraged him to get back out there and film with him and based on his testimony that he had been wanting to kill mark for a long time it makes it very clear that he was doing this not to be a good friend but to get Mark alone in an isolated spots so that he could carry out his plan and adding more weight to this Theory when they visited the buckstead hotel which Lewis himself had suggested during the live stream Mark was uncharacteristically drunk hi guys I am with Louis just having having a little drink um okay so we'll smash this after we smash these which was never part of his channel before that upload and Lew was uncharacteristically nervous we're going to do a couple more bangers can't tell you what they are in case um anyone's watching that shouldn't be watching who's watching well no I mean I mean watching the videos cuz yeah I know that the police do watch my channel sometimes paranoid even of being caught by the cops despite being totally unfazed in previous videos where in some he was literally being chased by security guards and coincidentally by the end of this video we get an indication as to why Lewis was so nervous my KNE you might get CAU because he had been carrying a knife all this leads me to believe that that night Lewis pushed Mark to film a video in an abandoned location then got him drunk and was going to carry through with the murder before eventually backing out for unknown reasons and all the while Mark was completely unaware whereare never once suspecting that the man he had been filming with had secretly been plotting to kill him and one day would actually go through with it okay I'll wrap it up now then guys um y I'll see you think I'm going to try and stay on this side and go across well this should be quite amusing enjoy Joshua Brown started his YouTube channel back in 2010 a time when many individuals including himself used the site to upload random videos offering momentary glimpses into their lives Joshua was in his mid-30s at the time and had recently finished serving in the Navy before eventually settling down in Canton Ohio where he focused on his many passions he loved driving he loved technology and he loved a little bit of danger and soon he became infatuated with the product that was essentially the sum of all three for Joshua these electric vehicles were a technological Marvel and the future of the automotive industry and he dreamed of one day having one with that dream eventually coming true in 2015 when he would purchase his very own Tesla Model S that would eventually become his life and his YouTube Channel's primary focus he began uploading videos of his new car immediately but rather than these focusing on the vehicle itself it was its most controversial feature that interested him the most autopilot the feature had become available for Tesla drivers in October of 2015 which is exactly when Joshua purchased his car and began uploading these videos showcasing its possibilities it takes all the stress out of it get to your destination slightly slower but hey at least now you don't have to worry about anything it's just just let it go he wanted to essentially be a Pioneer providing an overview of what self-driving was really all about breaking down the specifics and showcasing a variety of unique situations that you might find yourself in if if you were to use this driving mode yourself this section in here is going to be very very difficult for the car to handle um we're filming this just so that you can see scenarios where the car does not do well so that you've got something to judge off of it when you're driving on your own and he tried to make a point of doing so safely as he never used the camera behind the wheel and always had someone helping him to avoid any accidents but despite his focus on safety it was clear that he was pushing the capabilities of this brand new technology as at this point it was still in its infancy with one of the more glaring red flags being the placement of his hands here we are stopping go traffic on 271 and H jeez car is doing it all itself when Joshua was shown driving he hardly ever had his hands on the wheel as he said he wanted to get the true experience of self-driving this was something that Tesla had actually adamantly advised against and even had Visual and audible warnings if it detected that your hands were off the steering wheel but Joshua seemed to find a workaround as he instead used his legs to avoid tripping the sensor while keeping his hands close by ready to grab the wheel in case of an emergency how I actually do it is so that it is really actually handsfree is I keep my knees up um because the tack works pretty good but I can still get my foot down to a break and just keep it like this because you can react so quickly it was clear that Joshua truly believed that this car that was driving him was safe and this belief was only strengthened on April 5th of 2016 that day Joshua had been driving his car on the interstate when a large truck suddenly merged into his Lane with its driver not even seeing his car and before Joshua could even react the autopilot kicked in and veered out of the way avoiding what would have been a certain Collision Amazed by the event Joshua would upload dash cam footage of the close call to his YouTube channel where he praised the vehicle's response Tessy did great excellent job Elon this video would immediately go viral exploding to over 4 million views between the two versions that Joshua had posted but while the response to this video was overwhelming especially for a channel that was accustomed to getting just a few 100 views there was one response in particular that impacted Joshua the most as Tesla's owner Elon Musk would repost the video on Twitter stunned by the Tweet Joshua would later state for something to catch Elon musk's eye I can die and go to heaven now he had no way of knowing then but this would not be the last time that Elon Musk would tweet about him though his next feature would be under much different circumstances it happened just 1 month after Joshua Brown's video had gone viral he was driving on Highway 27 on a clear sunny day at approximately 400 p. m.
