CRT Anomalies

CRT Anomalies is a YouTube analog horror web series that began in 2020. It has been on hiatus since 2022. 
==Background and videos==
The CRT Anomalies channel was created on June 12, 2019.https://www.youtube.com/@crtanomalies The first video in the series was posted on April 8, 2020.https://youtu.be/BUMBl-74xhA?si=QI34bn-WjdWUfIKF The footage of each video is processed, enhanced, and sound-mixed by an editor named "Leo," who seems to be a close friend of the person uploading the videos. Each video begins with VHS startups, taking the viewer to a main menu, which shows the list of video segments on the tape. The person controlling the screen selects the segment that corresponds to the footage that they intend to upload. Said footage plays, with the video starting off normal, but getting darker and more glitchy later on. The video ends with the VHS blue screen, accompanied by the "EJECT" message. 
The first video shows a recording of a 1986 news channel broadcast, where, in the "Community Watch" segment, 
a security camera captures the footage of a mysterious figure. In the second video, visual data of the airline "Metenga Airways" is accompanied by the audio of the crash of a flight from September 9, 2000.https://youtu.be/FZ42Gw4fz7M?si=6u3Wh_hiwl3e5gx_ The third video is a top secret CIA slideshow from 1964 that displays disturbing details of unethical drug experiments.https://youtu.be/3aeBKirj__Y?si=si0SPBSDHECVVlUD The fourth video, taking place in the summer of 1979, is the vlog of a hiker in Ririe, Idaho, who non-verbally talks about strange occurrences, near Idaho Falls and Kelly Mountain, all while ominous sounds and footsteps are heard, indicating that the video's subject is trying to escape from a mysterious entity.https://youtu.be/S0vGP_o4XOU?si=yKaiPkWXKctUDprk The fifth video shows a 1992 children's program called "Open Pals" from a Christian conservative channel called Open Palms, which shows a segment of puppets talking about the ostracization of LGBT topics from the Church, which ends on a disturbing note.https://youtu.be/iEox7JuWX_0?si=9uyshEMueczSqJvY The sixth and last video to date is a slideshow from a "Government Horror Show."https://youtu.be/7fAgAixdiB4?si=5pc02fspgkDTU6VE 
As of January 2024, the creator of CRT Anomalies remains anonymous. Although the story is most-likely fictitious, as are most other analog horror series, the anonymity of the person behind the channel could contribute to the unpopular argument that the footage is genuine.
