The first videos uploaded were on Website/YouTube, featuring a hacker showing evidence of paranormal activity in the house he was watching. This was the standard for a while, until the true experience was released on the hacker's own website. Now, viewers got a live recording of four teenagers trapped in the house, able to jump from camera to camera to catch the entire story. After a hiatus, more uploads began in 2017, although again it seems everything has stopped for the time being of that same year.
