Growing up my parents always recorded me as a child. My mom always said to me; is to create memories and revisiting them, and she's right. I was the only child growing up; my parents never wanted to have a second child. I overheard them once saying that I was a handful. I only understood that when I got older. My parents stopped filming me when I turned twelve years old. They probably got bored of it or I just grew out of it.

I started a Youtube channel when I was sixteen. I didn't tell my parents about it because I like doing things in secret. In my channel, I mainly did videos where I go to supermarkets called; 'follow me around', and reacting to the filmed tapes that my mom made when I was a kid. I recently reached 50,000 subscribers, which I am so overjoyed by it.

I had a week off of work at a local supermarket to pay my bills. It's not that easy but I manage. I live in an apartment about a few miles away from my parents' house.

It was late at night, and I was sitting at my desk, binge watching youtube videos, old and new. The clock strikes 1 am and told myself that I watch one more video then bed. That when I came to this strange video. Its thumbnail was just a black picture and the read as "Watch it at your own risk". I found it very odd, but I was curious to know what was the video is all about. So without hesitation, I clicked on the video.

Straight away I found the video awfully familiar. It was like a memory or even something from the recorded videos that my mom did. I scrolled down to see any comments, but surprisingly they are disabled, along with likes and dislikes buttons. My first thought was, that the person who uploaded the video must be very funny or serious. Who knows?

The person behind the camera was sitting on a horse carriage, with, of course, two horses pulling the carriage. Two brown horses with black mane and tails. They were heading towards a bridge that leads to a gray path. I still can't solve why the video looks familiar

I started to get bored of the weird video, and as I about to click off of the video I began to scream. It was not a normal scream, it was like an out of breath scream. My screaming was very loud. I couldn't really describe abut my screaming nor, what was happening next on the video. It happened way too fast.

I screamed still the video had stopped. It felt like an hour while I was screaming, but the video was only three minutes long. I tried my hardest to catch my breath; then I started to weep.

A week later I decided to go to therapy because I can't live in fear after that experience from that video. I go to see this lovely and beautiful woman, who really listens to me. She is so kind, caring that allows me to speak my mind.

Ever since I watched that video, my life is not the same. I get nightmares almost every night; I hardly get before the video. I am paranoid on Youtube and being the dark. I have now fricking night lights everywhere in my house.

It's crazy, I am crazy

Let's be a lesson towards this. Do Not click on a video that says "Watch it at your own risk", or "Do not watch".

Don't get yourself to be like me.
