'''''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHzIO0agtCQEsTxUcahZgjQ Clear Lakes 44]]''''' is a SpinOff series of the online horror series ''WebVideo/MarbleHornets'', debuting in August 2015.

* TheCameo: [[spoiler: Tim in Broadcast #4. Whether this is just a cameo or if he's a full-blown main character have yet to be seen.]]

* SinisterSurveillance: If there is indeed a single camera-operating entity in every video, then they seem to have access to plenty of them. Parking lots, multiple angles inside and outside at least two homes, several rooms that have little business having a camera to begin with, what appears to be at least one remote-controlled drone camera, and, from what we can see near the end of Broadcast #5, [[spoiler:footage from cameras that ''don't actually exist'' or otherwise can't be seen, as was the case for whatever was filming from the door]]. The cameras can even see out of people's point of view.

** Broadcast #11 is a sudden change of tone from the previous broadcasts. The entire video features distorted footage from previous broadcasts, as well as a figure with blacked out eyes asking the viewer such questions as "do you enjoy watching suffering?", "what is wrong with you?", and "do you want to see more?"

** Broadcast #7 has Birdwatcher open a door in his house and enter a strange place where his leg seemingly gets fixed and a giant blinding light hits him in the face. We watch all of this happen out of Birdwatcher's point of view.

** The series focuses on camera footage, with much of it largely distorted or unintelligible.

** Broadcast #10 reveals that [[spoiler: Birdwatcher knows Walker, and apparently has a bad history with him as he reacts rather aggressively when Walker enters his home.]]

** Broadcast #9 reveals [[spoiler:more of Birdwatcher's character, including his history of mental illness and that he lost somebody who he only refers to as "she".]]
** Broadcast #10 reveals that [[spoiler: Birdwatcher knows Walker, and apparently has a bad history with him as he acts rather aggressively when Walker enters his home.]]

** Broadcast #4 shows two blurry figures making some sort of exchange. It isn't till the last few seconds one of them comes close to the camera and it focuses on his face clearly, revealing [[spoiler: Tim from ''Marble Hornets'']].

** Each broadcast with Birdwatcher ends with us not knowing the birdwatcher's fate.

* GlowingEyesOfDoom: [[spoiler:The Dark Man has white eyes.]]

** Each encounter with the birdwatcher and [[spoiler:the Dark Man]] ends with us not knowing the birdwatcher's fate.
* OldMediaAreEvil: Clear Lakes 44 appears to be some kind of local access TV station.

** There's a [[spoiler:hooded man]] almost identical to [[spoiler:the Hooded Man]] from ''Marble Hornets'', right down to stealing pills and his face being distorted by static when he looks at the camera.

* SpinOff: It's been referred to as a sequel series to ''Marble Hornets'', set in the same continuity; it's even uploaded on the same YouTube channel. See also: StealthSequel.
* StylisticSuck: The first entry is done in the style of a poorly made corporate ad.

** Broadcast #11 is a sudden change of tone from the previous broadcasts. It reveals [[spoiler:that someone knows [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou that you're watching]]. They want to know if you enjoy watching people suffer... and if you'd like to see more. Then they proceed to repeatedly ask what is wrong with you, and exclaim that they are "watching you closely" at the end.]]

** In Broadcast #6, 'Birdwatcher' goes to examine the door and turn around, his eyes bulging with terror, before the camera cuts out...and then returns to show [[spoiler: a black human-shaped creature that's clearly supernatural in nature.]]

* DaylightHorror: Not only does everything so far happen in daylight, but it's unnaturally saturated and bright.
