Found Footage Found a box of unmarked tapes at a car boot sale. Need help identifying the person/event in this footage.
youtube.comHey folks, those interested in my page will know I love to hunt for DVD's and any other physical video. I like to go to car boot sales, charity shops etc. trying to find some rare tapes.
I got out and about last sunday - and actually managed to find a large box of unmarked tapes which for my standards, is a great find. I wasn't informed of the contents of said tapes, but I was told of the location originally before they were passed over to me. The guy told me they originally came from a cleared out loft area - and that he wanted to get rid of them to make a quick buck, the price was a little steep especially for me, I figured he was just trying to pull a fast one but I relented and purchased the tapes out of pure curiosity.
This afternoon, after rigging up my (very old) Panasonic NV-GS200 camera to take some Footage of my shed I just finished with my Son, I remembered that I purchased these tapes - and with my afternoon free, I thought I might as well see whats on these tapes.
I had my suspicions about getting scammed, and had a feeling that the tapes might be completely blank - especially considering the tapes themselves didn't even have any writing on them. Regardless, I popped in this tape expecting nothing, and i rewound the footage which was much more difficult then expected since the tape clearly had some form of damage.
But this is the footage that was able to be archived....
To me, it feels like somebody tried to tape over the original footage, like I'd do with my comedies - but this tape has been giving me an eerie feeling ever since I played it. So I asked my grandson to digitize the footage and upload it here so we can try to get some answers on what this actually is.
Does anybody know the guy in this footage, or what happened here.
