    Welcome to #Mallworld .. don’t forget to wipe your feet. And stick around a while

    So it’s October, it’s that creepy time of year. Bear with us on this one. We have written tons about malls over the years, the death of the mall.. and now we are writing about the birth of something new: A #Mallworld that people all over the real world are saying they have mapped out in their dreams…

    x x x

    At the time this is written, we are drenching our minds in the ‘creepy time of year’ stories.. Sometimes the creepy lasts all year..

    Algorithms have given us a bit more hairs on arms raised up with this.. there’s something called Mall World.. Not sure if you .. or quite the opposite maybe you’ve had dreams about this place. Lots of others say they they.

    We will give you the bird’s eye view of this interesting paranormal tale that people have suddenly been weaving online. It has been brewing under the surface of social media platforms for a while. While it reads like a Creepypasta, this one seems to have allies that call it true and people are saying, unless fiction, they have actually walked the floors of MallWorld..

    It began to really evolve a few months ago.. and now a TikTok user has drawn it!

    WELCOME TO MALLWORLD. DON’T FORGET TO WIPE YOUR FEET


    A hand-drawn “Mall World” map has been circulating from TikTok creators who claim recurring dreams of the same sprawling complex. One widely shared version was posted by a creator Tiltonica whose map (featuring labeled zones like a non-functional highway and “incoming tsunami”) was re-uploaded and discussed in r/TheMallWorld on Reddit, triggering a wave of “I’ve seen this place too” replies.

    Other TikTokers and users of other socials have posted their own long-running Mall World dream accounts. A recent roundup noted the sudden spike in posts and stitched videos comparing similar dream landmarks.

    Lately, with people either loving the tale and wanting in, or people genuinely believing they are experiencing this mass dream hallucination, there are plans online between people to try meeting up and talking to each other in Mall World–and many who are saying they are doing it already!

    Some people claim that those who visit Mall World were the same who were in the famous Gate program in the 1980s and 90s for gifted students in schools across America..

    She is also selling her hand drawn Mall World map for $3 a pop..

    OPENING THE GATES TO MALLWORLD


    GATE stands for “Gifted and Talented Education,” a catch-all label for United States school services that boast they will accelerate or enrich curricula for students who test in roughly the top percentiles… GATE grew out of mid-late 20th-century pushes to serve advanced learners.. think the 1972 federal Marland Report, the 1983 reform manifesto A Nation at Risk, and the 1988 Jacob K. Javits Act, which framed gifted education as mainstream schooling and not a covert CIA or Department of Energy project. Experts will tell us, that despite what people collectively claim, there is no evidence connecting GATE to any nefarious alphabet agency mind control tests.. BUT…. popular comparisons to Stranger Things draw instead on real, but separate, Cold-War history like CIA projects MKULTRA and the Army’s “Gateway Process” memo about altered-state training… documents that are declassified but unrelated to K-12 gifted classes. (And if you’re into this stuff, you may like our CIA reading room  )

    The GATE program has long been the talk of a number of conspiracies.. Some believed that the GATE program was just a breeding ground for government testing on children to see who had paranormal gifts.

    Others say it was just an education mission and a mundane government operation.. And if it was not, what was the government trying to do? Create super soldiers? Future scientists? CIA operatives? Black Ops? Psychological warfare? Remote viewing? Crushing a Coke can with a brain? Certainly the government never tried any of that.. Oh wait.. Maybe check our that CIA reading room for sure..

    A lot of people truly believe they were being recruited.. for something.

    Well, enter the Mall World where, it is claimed, those same people who were in this GATE are suddenly being thrust into the dream world about this liminal space with no exit.. A place with elaborate storefronts and a hospital and toiletries, and all these different endless rooms think the back rooms, but just with more things in them.

    The dive we did on this was deep–so much so that we were confronted by several accounts that put so much faith in Mall World, there was even debate to whether it was good or Satanic to be comfortable being there..

    It does not matter if YOU believe Mall World exists.. people do.


    We consider ourselves skeptics–not skeptics for the sake of just denying things for fun, but instead asking hard questions and looking at evidence of claims..

    In this case of Mall World, it is a narrative now being claimed by so many–but are they feeding off of each other, and using the map from Tiltonica as a jumping off point to take the story where they want regardless of truth?

    Your dreams are your own .. and you often remembers pieces of them, and sometimes nothing at all. It is open for perception and false memory as well.

    I myself have never been to Mall World in my dream.. I have had dreams where I explored places in my own home or schools that don’t exist in real life. But no dream.. no musack.. no empty stores. As we have lamented, we miss the real malls of our waking life..

    But is there some other theory here that can work? Carl Jung had a theory that mass consciousness dreams that can tap into the collective unconscious, a shared reservoir of universal human experiences, symbols, and archetypes, rather than being solely personal…

    Remember when COVID began (I know you don’t really want to) .. back in March 2020, we and many others wrote about people having a collective experience of bad dreams.

    There were also reports back in 2020 about the weird Willamete Valley Dream survey.. Unless we missed it, this still remains unsolved as to what it was for.

    Nightmares and Mallscapes

    This could all be just a huge mass awakening–or people are having fun with Mall World and it is just a big new Internet fiction tale.

    But when you read something like this REDDIT comment, you will realize that it not only is considered true by many writing these posts, but they are also angry that that Tilton video and Mall World concept is going as mainstream as it is..

    Nobody should go follow that Creator on tiktok. She just made a video saying how she doesn’t care if it goes mainstream and ruins it for everybody and she doesn’t care if the community crashes and burns.

    As said before.. whether you believe in this or not, it doesn’t matter. Others do. And they are mapping out a new world that exists only when they sleep..

  • Jeepers Creepers in North Carolina

    Jeepers Creepers in North Carolina

    It appears from what we found, this story actually dates back to the mid-summer of 2025, but it is just becoming a bit viral on social media now as opposed to then. And when you listen to the audio of a 911 call that has been released, you can see why..

    You can hear it here, with someone calling 911 to say he thought he saw someone on the side of the road bleeding..

    The 911 operator asks several more questions about the whereabouts of them man, there is a loud noise and suddenly the caller begins screaming frantically that something ‘not human’ is in the bed of his truck..

    @theyrewatchingusnow

    Creepy 911 Call – North Carolina Man Encounters A Creature that jumps in the back of his truck😳 #northcarolina #rake #scary #911 #911call

    ♬ Haunting – Perfect, so dystopian

    So the first reaction.. what in the world was this call about and is it even real.

    This video can assist with some background on the story, with interviews with the Sheriff and more details about the town, and the call that occurred to 911:

    The sheriff said the caller said the creature was beating on the top of the truck, and was eventually able to identify the object in the truck. The caller slammed on his breaks and the inertia threw the entity onto the highway, it stood up, and then entered the woods and disappeared..

    The Carolina Case Files account interviewed the man who called 911, but did not share his name or face.. But the witness said he was coming up from Florida to visit his family.. When he was driving through North Carolina .. the witness said that a man was standing in a ditch wearing what appeared to be a torn Civil War uniform–odd to see after midnight on a highway.. The caller called 911 because he thought the man needed emergency assistance .. The caller said he suddenly heard a massive bang on the truck, and it bounced down from the rear end of the vehicle… The 911 call becomes what the caller said is now the audio evidence..

    The caller said he saw a “snow white face” that was looking into his truck, it had sunken eyes and no nose.. He said think if you took skin and put it on a human skull and stretched it.. that description sounds horrifying and you can tell, if this is what he saw, why he screamed ‘this is not human’ to the 911 operator..

    He said he was doing 80mph, slammed his breaks with all of his might, and he saw the “super scrawny long body” fly out of his car.. He said it stood up and it was taller than his 6″ truck, he said the creature was easily 7 feet.. It bolted to the left into the woods, not to be seen again..

    The Youtube video from Carolina Case Files shows that the channel did its homework, interviewing both the sheriff and the 911 caller.. No one seems to want attention or fame, and it does not appear anyone is monetizing the ‘entity’ call at this point. It has the earmarks, to us at least, or being real enough to be … real. And real enough to be possible…

    The testimony from the truck owner seems legitimate .. But there is only one hole in the story at this point–no pictures of the truck. The caller describes scratch marks but we have not been shown them in this video or any other sources that are able to be found ..

    That said, minus the missing photos, it seems that the caller was one of distress and the police investigated the serious nature of the situation…

    People can debate what it was .. or wasn’t. The entire event sounds like a scene from JEEPERS CREEPERS.. but it also appears, according to the description, the being could be a pale crawler..

    You be the judge..

  • Audrey II’s tentacles expand in Panama

    Audrey II’s tentacles expand in Panama

    The story KEEPS getting weirder and more and more people are taking notice to it..

    We are still following Kin from Panama and whether he really has a pet alien growing in a safe.. Debate is raging! But lots of people are freaking out while others are trying their hardest to debunk what they feel is a big hoax on TikTok..

    Here is a quick rehash for those who were not following coverage of the story..

    The individual, who identifies himself as only Kin online, said he discovered a small, silver-colored space rock in a fiery crater in Panama on August 29…

    Since then, he has shared a series of videos on TikTok showing what he described as the meteorite burning leaves on contact and an unruly, tentacled organism sprouting from within it.

    A week after his initial post, he claimed that the crater ‘shines at night,’ sharing footage of the dark site glowing mysteriously.

    The most recent video at the time this is being posted is imagery of an “alien” that continues to grow!

    @kinpanama

    compré varias cosas que necesito en el supermercado, veo como muchos han tomado esto en broma 😞#vemonkin #videosvirales #tiktok #Viral #viraltiktok

    ♬ sonido original – KINPANAMA👾🌎

    Reddit user HighStrangeness is trying to provide a more scientific explanation.. According to the post, the mysterious black substance exposed in Panama is not an alien meteorite entity at all but rather a silicone-based polymer known as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), combined with small amounts of hexane, a common organic solvent. Both materials are widely used in everyday applications ranging from medical implants to cookware. The unsettling “wiggling” and “breathing” movements seen in the videos were attributed to a phenomenon called swelling-induced snapping motion. When PDMS absorbs hexane, it swells; as the solvent evaporates or redistributes, different parts of the polymer contract at uneven rates. This creates sudden snapping movements that appear organic, almost as if the material were alive. The irregular rhythm of the contractions mimicked muscle-like motion, while PDMS’s flesh-like texture and the black coloration amplified the alien illusion.

    People are going to still debate–and we are still going to be following Kin for as many updates as we can get..

    One thing, the biggest thing for us, is that Kin does not seem to have any history on his Tiktok of doing anything like this for attention. If this was a big hoax, or a movie promotion or ad, you would think there would be more potential connections to things like that in the past. But there is none.. it all starts with that little potato looking thing.. and now it has legs.

    Whether fake or not, I guess we will keep watching to see what happens next..

  • Drone Pope over Vatican

    Drone Pope over Vatican

    St. Peter’s Square became the stage for an unprecedented spectacle on Saturday night, as tens of thousands gathered for Grace for the World, a massive concert closing the third World Meeting on Human Fraternity.

    The event opened with breathtaking symbolism: more than 3,000 drones illuminated the night sky above the basilica, tracing the image of Pope Francis, framing Michelangelo’s dome and Bernini’s colonnade in light. The display, a first for the Vatican, drew reverent silence before the crowd erupted in applause.

    More..

    The event marked the conclusion of the two-day World Meeting on Human Fraternity, which brought together 500 participants, including Nobel laureates, academics, cultural leaders, and experts in technology and the environment. Fifteen dialogue panels explored themes such as peace, care for the planet, technology’s impact, and the future of humanity…

    While the display may be amazing, there seems to be something… creepy.. about the Late Pope Francis appearing above the Vatican as a gigantic dead Pope face..

  • Audrey II lands in Panama

    Audrey II lands in Panama

    Here’s a strange one in the category of space rocks. A rerported Pedregal meteor in Panama is making the rounds on TikTok and other social media, mostly TikTok, and mostly because of videos that showcase a person who seemingly found a flaming meteorite, kept it.

    And now it’s beginning to grow tentacles and move. The user has received tens of thousands of comments and even more shares.

    They’re calling it the Venom meteorite. In one particular video, he puts a leaf on top of the rock, and the leaf starts to burn. He said he can’t leave it near the sun, or the sun makes it grow. We’re all watching with amusement and enjoyment. But let’s have some discernment.

    Others are saying its just a hoax and a spray painted potato..

    Here is a link to the account:

    The story goes that it was hot to the touch on in flames when found, somebody covered it with a bowl, and then strange black tentacle-like growths began pushing out of the rock. Clips of it are being called the “Venom meteorite,” and some even claim it’s a living thing that doesn’t need food, water, or air to survive. It sounds like something straight out of a horror movie, and of course that’s why it’s spreading so fast online.

    So far there’s no real evidence behind the hype. No scientists have confirmed a meteorite fall in Pedregal, no labs have studied these so-called tentacles, and no credible outlets have reported on it.

    So.. are we looking at a hoax, a misidentified rock, or maybe just mold or fungus creeping across a surface that people decided to make look otherworldly?

    If this really were a genuine meteorite with strange growths, wouldn’t it be front-page news in the science world? Until then, it’s just another viral mystery that keeps people scrolling.

    We’ll keep watching the story. We’ll keep following. And if this thing truly grows to the point of a Little Shop of Horrors creature, well, we better find Seymour and take care of this before it’s too late.

  • Oddities in the Charlie Kirk killing

    Oddities in the Charlie Kirk killing

    A whirlwind of a news cycle has developed. We still don’t officially know who the Charlie Kirk killer is. But countless suspects are being bantered about on social media. Even 4chan got into the mix, digging up someone with a SoundCloud track about Charlie Kirk being dead at the age of 31—written long enough ago that it reportedly drew an FBI visit to the person’s doorstep. There’s also surveillance video of a purported shooter on a roof. Yet, at the same time, crowd reactions are claiming that everything was just a little too well-done for it to be a lone wolf.

    As the investigation into the crime plays out, the post-crime world has become just as strange. A few coincidences stand out.

    The first came from Jezebel, the pop culture website. Just one day before Kirk’s assassination, they published an article joking that they hired some Etsy witches to put a hex on him. After the murder, the piece had to be updated so Jezebel could clarify that they did not, in any way, support the killing that took place less than 24 hours after those “witches” supposedly placed their hex.

    But maybe even more interesting than the paranormal world of Etsy witches is the AI-contrived world of books on Amazon. Here’s the catch: a book titled The Shooting of Charlie Kirk appeared almost instantly. No big shock there—AI could probably crank out a book like that in seconds. The real shock was the publication date: September 9th. That’s the day before the shooting.

    We verified this ourselves. The listing existed on Amazon, and we saw it both on the app and the website. The screenshots we’ve shared weren’t taken from some third-party site—they’re ours. Whether what we were seeing was a glitch or not, the fact remains: both platforms showed the book live on September 9. Now it’s gone.

    We’ve been searching since and haven’t seen much of an official response from Amazon. What we did find, though, is that books submitted to Amazon’s system usually sit in the ether for 24 to 72 hours before they’re approved for sale. So how did this happen? Really—how did this happen?

    People can joke all they want about conspiracy theories, but this isn’t just funny. It’s weird. Very, very weird.

    With all of this going on, there are also strange rumors that the President was AI during his Oval Office response to the killing..

    There are people who are being doxed over their celebrations of the Kirk killing..

    Some people became very blood thirsty in the immediate aftermath.

    At this point, amid this messy aftermath, Congress is freaked enough that members are talking about not being in crowds anymore..

    Meanwhile, the manhunt continues for the shooter, and the reaction across this divided nation continues right alongside it.

  • A haboob may have destroyed your orgy plans at Burning Man

    A haboob may have destroyed your orgy plans at Burning Man



    Well, some might call this an Old Testament moment: good old-fashioned divine smiting of sinners. But the truth? A haboob—that’s a massive dust storm, for the uninitiated—just demolished the legendary Orgy Dome at Burning Man.

    Over on the Orgy Dome’s official Instagram, Burning Man shared:

    “Our build team worked so hard this past week to erect our lovely space. Unfortunately, the winds yesterday undid all that labor and wrecked our structure. We are still here and thankfully safe, we hope to gift the playa with some workshops and will keep you updated.”



    A harsh twist of playa fate, indeed. The dome is down. Nature wins.

    According to outlets, a brutal dust storm barreled through Black Rock City over the weekend, unleashing wind gusts of up to 50 mph, turning visibility to near zero, destroying campsites and even art installations—like the “Black Cloud” inflatable—while sending thousands of Burners into hours-long traffic delays. 

    That means if you’re planning on attending Burning Man this year, it’s probably a good idea to have an alternate orgy plan—one that can survive 50 mph haboob winds.

  • Aliens among us in Compton Cali?

    Aliens among us in Compton Cali?

    Media attention has now continued on a short video from Jessica Ortiz’s Ring camera days ago.. The video seems to show a mysterious figure outside her home, Compton California. Local affiliates reported it along with the video, and others have subsequently picked up the story across the nation and world. The internet has had their say as well, pondering if this was an alien or just some trick of the lens..

    “Someone ANYONE please explain to me what my ring just caught. I’m not tripping right?” she captioned the 11-second video.

    According to Ortiz, it all began when she received an alert on her Ring doorbell app on June 5 around 1 a.m. 

    Surveillance video shows the mysterious “creature” walking in Ortiz’s driveway and exiting through a back gate. You can hear Ortiz’s gate close after the figure leaves the property…

    A few of the best comment:

    Well we already got Leprechaun in the hood, might as well give us Aliens in the hood

    Did they seriously ask zak bagans.

    It’s just a person carrying their jacket or hoodie. Take a closer look. 🤦‍♂

    Must be a really slow day at the news station, some people are so gullible that they’ll believe this BS.



    Slow news day indeed… or aliens among us..

  • The President posts a rare Vance

    The President posts a rare Vance

    President Trump is no stranger to posting wild content on social media.. but his latest post from Saturday has people scratching their heads .. see

    Trump shared a satirical throwback to the infamous O.J. Simpson slow-speed chase. Only this time, instead of O.J. in the white Bronco, it’s President Obama being pursued… by Trump himself. And in the adjacent police car? None other than Vice President JD Vance.

    Well—sort of.

    See, it wasn’t actually the JD Vance. It was one of those bizarre “Rare Vance” images that have been floating around the internet ever since Trump met with Zelensky. You know the ones: AI-looking, almost-human, definitely unsettling.

    So now the big question: Did Trump know he was posting a Rare Vance? Was he in on the joke, trolling the internet with meme magic? Or did he just think, “Hey, that’s a pretty good pic of JD!”

    Either way, we’re left wondering if the President just inadvertently mocked his own VP, or if he’s three layers deep into some kind of 5D meme chess.

    As always, inquiring minds want to know. And Rare Vance? He’s just along for the ride.

  • Freaky near disaster for Katy Perry

    Freaky near disaster for Katy Perry

    Mishap freaks out Katy Perry and audience .. close call for the singer ..

    The giant butterfly she was riding on dropped down several feet .. she was fine, she made it to the stage safety.. but keep in mind this concert almost did NOT happen..

    But fans were on edge waiting to get into the San Fran Chase Center due to undisclosed technical issues.. Were those technical issues what we saw with her on the large butterfly?

    Is it time for artists to stop convincing themselves they can fly around concert venues? Not everyone is PINK..
