Warning: Don't read this late at night unless you want to stay up 'till morning.
You might have heard of it, but there is a pretty famous creepypasta story on the Internet. Click here to go to the Know Your Meme page. Now, video games are commonly a prime target for creepypastas. Especially the Pokemon series due to their seemingly innocence (Not counting capturing animals and forcing them to fight other animals). But this story is about a game that several people often already find creepy: Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
Well, I'm not going to sit here and explain the whole thing, as it would take up way too much space. So you just have to read the page if you're interested. But this story creeped me out quite a bit. Normally, I'd start out right away saying it was fake. But after considering the time and effort it would've taken to fake it, I'm having second thoughts. He would have to stage everything first, then cut the footage to make it look like he hadn't moved. Plus, there are several animations, and poses that do not occur in the game at all, meaning it would require expert hacking skills as well. And with how many times the Elegy of Emptiness statue appears behind him, it would take several edits to skip the Elegy of Emptiness song being played. Again, you'd have to watch the videos, and read the story (The description and tags of the videos are also important.) in order to realize the creepiness of the story.

Now, like many people who are interested in this story, I went onto the site cleverbot.com, a bot chatting site where BEN supposedly talked to Jad instead of the bot, and asked several questions about BEN.
User: How did Ben die?
Cleverbot: He got run over.
User: He didn't drown?
Cleverbot: What about the statue under the water?
User: Does that represent Ben?
Cleverbot: No.
User: Who does it represent?
Cleverbot: I was hoping you knew.
In case you have not read the story, one of the more famous parts is when Jad is swimming as a Zora in the great bay when he finds another Elegy Statue underwater. When he walked up to it, even though he was a Zora, he drowned. When he got back to the select file screen, below the BEN file, it read "DROWNED" implying that Ben Drowned somehow. Although that cleverbot reply was probably coincidence, it is still something I found noteworthy.
