## Backrooms - Found Footage 2

A still taken from the tape

*Found Footage #2* is the 12th main episode and 14th overall episode in the Backrooms series. It was uploaded to YouTube on Aug 21, 2022 and runs for 13 minutes and 22 seconds. The episode documents the discoveries by an Unidentified Female Protagonist as she experiments with a strange portal and her exploration of the Backrooms.

## Plot

The video opens with the Unnamed Woman setting up a camera over a spot on the ground marked with painters tape. She demonstrates rather than explains by dumping a bunch of wood chips onto the spot and observing them vanishing through the floor. After dusting off the tape she repeats the test with a baseball which also vanishes and causes a noticeable tape distortion. As she continues her tests she brings over a large bag full of baseballs and a clock and proceeds to test the anomaly with a measuring tape. As she extends the tape measure it reaches 28-29 inches before she notes feeling it vibrate and this vibration gets picked up by the camera. Suddenly the anomaly expands causing her, the camera, tripod, clock and bag of balls to fall into the Backrooms. As she gets her bearings and proceeds to explore she finds the usual hallways before coming across a dark room. After flipping on a light she discovers several oddly shaped chairs and table which seem quite tall before she moves on finding a large room with a couch. Around the corner she finds a rather jagged hole in the ground and a door which is locked though she uses her camera to peer through the keyhole.

As she explores and questions why there are no people and some of the configurations she comes up to a ramp. Once she descends she finds a large black mark on the floor and continues up and finds a car crashed into a wall and shows signs of fire as well as a strange black substance. As she follows it she sees a hand print and continues following the marks calling out if someone is hurt. As she proceeds into a dark room she turns on her camera's night-vision and encounters a room full of black tendrils which she comments seem "like some kind of plant". As she observes a painting which seems to be cracked along with the wall behind it she is startled by a roar as a Bacteria entity begins moving and starts chasing her.

She flees and returns to the hole and leaps down it though hearing the roars continues fleeing as the creature appears to still be following her. She comes across several odd areas including one appearing like a swimming pool before slipping into a narrow corridor that ends up leading to a dead end. She prays for a bit hoping that the creature will continue on before green cracks/electricity suddenly appear causing her to shout before the footage ends on a blue screen with "no signal". The camera then zooms out showing the TV the footage is being shown on and the video ends.

## Trivia

* A common theory is that the car found in this video is Margaret Watson's car. However, this can be disproven as the car seen in this video and in the Community Tab photo do not match the car listed on Margaret's missing person poster, which is a 1987 Ford Escort.
* The hole the unnamed woman jumped down is noteworthy as it is not a perfect square like the Pitfalls, and has broken edges along with bent metal as though something crashed through it.
* This episode implies the walls within the Backrooms are somewhat destructible, though they might be more durable than standard walls of it's type.
