Found these a year after he killed himself. From the time frame these were recorded roughly before he died. Its nothing drsmatic, but I've never been brought to tears and disturbed by anything like these tapes. Just thougt I'd share. I've never shared these tapes with anyone

Apologies for saying tape so much

>>36379525
are you going to upload the tapes?
do you know of any others?
>>
>>36379525
Your dad just wanted to be a part of your lives.
>>
>>36379646
I'm not sure how to make these digital with out one of those old cameras. But even if I could I'm not sure if I'd be comfortable uploading them. I know we had more of these tiny vhs taapes, but I only have 4 of them. I took all this stuff when I moved out. If there are others maybe my mom has them and hasn't said anything. I'm thinking its time to bring them up to her tho. His death ripped our familh apart. Really fucjed us all up
>>
>>36379728
I like to think that, but theres just something so off about the recordings. He has a look about him that im just glad he didnt kill us?
>>
If anyone is interested, im going to visit my mom soon. Shes kind of an alcohlic and if i have a few drinks with her i know i can bring it up and she will tell me if theres more. Ill update yall. Sorry theres not much to respond too,but if anyone has similar stories ill listen
>>
Op here. My original post was too long. Other stuff from the tapes was my dad recorded a female officer who pulled into the neighborhood . He zoomed in on her as she walked around and knocked on a neighbors door. Im so curious if my mom has more
>>
No one else has horrible secret relics from their family to share? Maybe this is the wrong board
>>
>>36381014
I don't have anything, but thanks for being one of the few people that still puts original content onto this godforsaken board.
>>
>>36381613
Its all good mate. Thanks. I know this story isnt much, but it haunts me none the less. R9k is done, figured there was tons of older weirdos who might have finally found bizarre family stuff but i guess not.
>>
Jesus dude that's fucked.
>>
>>36382857
Yeah it did a number on me. I was 16 when i watched them. Only a year after he died. Spent alot of nights crying and couldnt get his blank stare out of my head
>>
>>36379525
Still not as disturbing as Gameboy camera
>>
>>36383071
Whats that? Its not creepypasta right? I guess itll have to do.
>>
>>36379525
>tiny vhs tapes

do you mean cassette tapes?
>>
>>36383217
I dont think so. This was probably a late 90s early 2000's video camera. It only took the mini tapes that were identical to vhs. Im going to look them up and buy one if i find one
>>
>>36383312
Any of these, by chance?
>>
>>36383160
Wtf thats weird. It s the same picture i used in my original. I thought that was from a fucked up sonic easteregg. Got it from v. Strange coincidence damn
>>
>>36383312
I had that same type of camcorder with the little tapes.
>>
>>36383446
Micro mv is it. Thanks. Had the red, white, yellow cords. Plug em in and you could watch them on a tv
>>
>>36383460
Clicked the wrong post oops
>>
Damn, dude. I think I know your dad's feel. I've been suicidal for most of my life and I find myself thinking about myself a lot in the third person. Imagining myself in spaces, just trying to figure out how things sort of fit around me, or vice versa. It's hard to explain but I think what your dad was doing is a visual form of this. Filming himself in the places he feels at home, referencing it to maybe feel a sense of being or existence. When you see a photograph of yourself you get a sense of place, you're occupying space. To someone who is suicidal I think that's grounding in a way, and is a form of premeditation or mulling over the impact of your death in a visual way. Obviously I don't know your dad, so this is just an armchair interpretation, but I don't think it's something to necessarily be disturbed by.
>>
>>36383217
Nah OP is talking about older camcorder tapes. They look like small VHS tapes.
>>
>>36383648
That makes sense. I have felt the same recently. Ive tried to rationalize these videos in the past thinking maybe he just wanted to say sorry and explain but couldnt when he hit record.Its been ten years since ive seen them. I feel like i could understand better now.
>>
Perhaps he hoped you'd dig them out one day, and see him, and be reminded he existed, maybe he didn't feel as if he was a part of your life and wanted to insert himself into your movies, to be part of your life again.

Like >>36383648 said, perhaps it was a way to see himself occupying the living space, to see what it looked like with him in 3rd person. Who knows.

It's sad as shit OP, but I don't think he meant anything creepy by it.

Anon he was trying to film a goodbye message but he couldn't say anything because of how sad it made him feel. I'm sorry.
>>
>>36383922
Dammit bros, ive got tears in my eyes. It feels nice to bring this all up. I hated him for so long, but im older and more understanding now._._.. Its why i made this thread to be honest. I truly feel bad for him, ive been suicidal but dont have anything close to what he left behind. I want to watch these tapes again and hopefully forgive him. Thanks for the words anons
>>
>>36384121
:( goddamit. Hearing others say it hits me
>>
>>36379525
Maybe he was trying to say something but couldn't get to it?
>>
Fuck. This migt be my last post for the night. Im full blown crying. Thanks for listening
>>
>>36384347
Godspeed anon and carry on his wishes
>>
>>36384171
