Angel Shi

(a/n means author's note) (this is also technically a "retake" of username 666)
YouTube... everyone has heard of it. It's the second most used website, someone can quit creating YouTube videos, but never quit using it. Considering how big YouTube is, there are hidden horrors, it's basically on every single social media, even the not-so-family-friendly websites.
== The Channel ==
It was 2013, YouTube was still in it's young stage. I got bored, and when I'm bored, I look for stuff, usually internet mysteries. I checked the hellhole known as Reddit, I saw a subreddit, forgot the name of it, and saw a post about a "scary" YouTube channel, The channel was named, "Angel Shi."
I looked the channel up, the "Angel Shi" account was the first result. I clicked on it, and saw that there were five videos, the most recent one being made 4 days ago. The videos and their title are listed, in order, from oldest to newest.
-That one monkey peanut vender ad with a red filter, the audio was replaced with a crying baby. (Title: WELCOME) (first upload)
-Red static on a TV, the camera was constantly moving. (Title: NOISY) (second upload)
-A stickfigure animation, where a stickman is getting tortured by two other stickmen. (Title: ONE IDIOT TWO OTHERS) (third upload)
-A recording of a black cat. (Title: KITTY) (fourth upload) (a/n: the only sane one)
-Me at the zoo with a monochrome filter. (Title: DESTROYED ZOO) (fifth upload)
It's not really scary, but I know why someone would find it eerie.
== The Myth ==
The reddit post also mentioned a myth.
"At midnight, open the channel and refresh four times. If you do, there will be videos of actual gore on the channel."
I was bored, so I woke up at midnight, and did exactly that, refreshed Angel Shi's channel page four times. Nothing, just the eerie videos, but there was a new one. It was called "SPIDERS" and was a recording of wolf spiders. I don't have arachnophobia, but I know that some do.
== Why? ==
I commented on the "SPIDERS" video, "why do you post these?" and I got a reply, five hours later. "44444" it said.
Four, a really specific number, right? Well, Shi is Japanese for four, and is also Japanese for death. Angels are associated with heaven, which some people go to after death.
== Aftermath ==
It's 2024 now, I looked up "Angel Shi" on YouTube, and found nothing, nothing but videos talking about it. The comments of these videos were usually children spamming crying emojis, or just people calling the "Angel Shi" mystery nostalgic.
What happened to Angel Shi? Did they delete their channel? Did they grow out of their "edgy demon worshipper" phase? Did YouTube take down their channel? Or was it all made up? Who knows... I want to know what happened, and I hope it's not a myth.
