Well, here goes nothing, Hello Xana-net! If you are an old follower of my work thank you for coming along on this new step of my journey, and if you are new, buckle up because we’re about to blow the lid off of the universe as you know it!

Most of you already probably know that the old afterglow magazine has been bought out and subsequently discontinued by Vertek, but not to worry, I'm back and I'm going to expose not only the dark under belly of L.A.M.P but all sorts of inter-galactic conspiracies.

Supposedly, there’s a new chain video circulating through the Xanitt servers, hidden inside a corrupted music video that rewrites itself every time someone shares it. They say it doesn’t just glitch — it changes or adapts. The melody bends, the lyrics shift, and the visuals twist into something personalized for whoever’s watching. It's slightly different each time someone views it, so nobody really has a consensus or agrees on what the heck is going on. 

  No two versions are exactly the same, and that’s what makes it so difficult to track. Everyone who claims to have seen it recalls something different. Some swear they heard distorted pop lyrics about connection and rhythm; others say it was just a low, pulsing hum like a heartbeat through a wall.  

The first reports came from a few users who claimed they found a file named “feeltherhymn.v01.mp4” hidden in their message inboxes. The message is always identical: “Feel the rhythm. Hear the rhythm. Join the rhythm.”  

People say that if you pause the video at precisely 00:19, you can see your own face flicker in the background of the crowd scene, just before it cuts to black. But what's the most disturbing part?

According to circulating rumours, every 19th viewer disappears without a trace. Their avatars fade from chat logs, their data becomes static, and their usernames are replaced with a single word: “Witness.” Even archived copies of those accounts only show white noise and faint, rhythmic humming. Moderators insist it’s an ARG or some rogue viral marketing stunt, but that doesn’t explain the missing users or the corrupted backups. They claim to be handling it and deleting the accounts posting the video, but it reappears the next day, sometimes after just minutes. Some say the moderators stopped logging in after banning those profiles. Nobody can reach those people to confirm, but who would come back to a platform that banned them and erased all their content? A few theorists believe the “19th viewer” phenomenon is not random. It appears to be a pattern — a synchronized event. Each missing person becomes part of the network’s rhythm, their data absorbed to keep the song playing.  

I haven’t found a verified source file. Every link leads to corrupted fragments and recursive mirror loops. Still — if anyone out there has access to the full version, or has seen the Witness tag in their contacts… be cautious.

They say if you wander Xanaworld long after closing, long after they announce the park is shut and you're all alone. When the rides have gone quiet and the laughter has faded, you might hear something strange over the soft hum of the park lights. It's not the buzzing of the animatronics. It's not the sound of your shoes sticking to the carpet. The colours drain from the neon, the carousel lights buzz at mismatched frequencies, and somewhere in the static hum of the animatronics, you can hear it: It sounds like a woman sobbing.

Xanaworld fans call her the lady in white.

Security guards whisper about the Lady in White. She’s seen throughout the park, near the rides, emerging from the maintenance vents. Her dress glows faintly like fog in the moonlight, torn almost to resemble a jacket. Some say she looks lost, her pale hands around her face.

No official records mention a death in Xanaworld, but rumours persist. One thread on Xanitt claims she was a ride engineer caught in a maintenance door during a system update; another says she was a voice actor for the “Mother of Tomorrow” animatronic who disappeared during a live calibration test. The company never confirmed either story.

Every few months, a new leak surfaces — grainy footage, a corrupted sound file, or a screenshot pulled from internal security archives. It's always the same pattern: static, distortion, then a white-silhouetted figure looking directly at the camera. Most of these files vanish within hours.

Now, there have been reports by security guards, guests, maintenance crews, and teenagers who have broken in to vandalize, chew excessive amounts of bubblegum, and prank the staff by hiding things in the vents. Something's not right. They can hear the sobbing, but when they follow the sound, all they find are the animatronics, which, news flash, don't cry or sob or do much of anything other than dance and try to take your money. 

A paranormal investigation crew from SolTube.net was "granted" after-hours access to the park to document the phenomenon. They brought EM scanners and thermal cams. The company rep who unlocked the back gate refused to step more than twenty meters from the exit once the park lights dimmed. Their investigation revealed countless orbs caught on camera and a sobbing sound heard throughout the park.

Former Ricky Rockets owner Odsar T. Mohan was reportedly seen near the aftermath of the Xana-World Massacre, which left forty parkgoers injured and ten confirmed dead late last Xanaday.

When asked about his past involvement with the Ricky Rockets franchise, Mohan allegedly said, “What do you mean… they’re doing well? No killer robots? Oh, okay. Excuse me, I need to go file some paperwork.”

Odd choice of words for someone caught near one of the most disturbing “accidents” in recent theme-park history, don’t you think?

Sources claim Mohan left the scene before authorities arrived, citing “urgent fleet matters.” Whether his remark was innocent—or a subtle admission of knowledge—is unclear. But given his history with autonomous entertainment systems, it’s hard not to wonder what kind of “paperwork” he needed to file.

Coincidence? Cover-up? Or something much darker lurking beneath the surface of Xana-World? Time will tell.
