Timothy Posted October 12, 2013 #26 Share Posted October 12, 2013 A guy I knews puppy got hold of one once.Not a good experience for the poor thing cause it ended up being put to sleep.Dangerous to wildlife they were. I hope his puppy wasn't producing cyanide-laced, grape-flavored Flavor-Aid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude Man Posted April 30, 2018 #27 Share Posted April 30, 2018 ..Except that its 2018, you can't even buy that stuff anymore, and it happens all over southern California. There are stretches of highway with vhs tape spread out and over shrubs as well. Funny thing...if it were just chewed up cartridges, where are the cartridges.

This is something that has bothered me from time to time. Where I grew up, in Wales, the UK, a lot of times when we would go out in the car and get on the motorway, looking to the side of the road I would sometimes notice cassette tape, unwound and covering trees, shrubbery and other vegetation by the side of the road. I found it, and still do, quite creepy. My dad told me that he'd heard it was something to do with Satanic cults, like they would record 'messages' on the cassette, unravel them and spread them on the plants, presumably so that the 'influence' would spread out to anyone driving along the road. Has anyone else observed this phenomenon, and heard any different or complimentary theories? It's something I've seen a lot over the years, casette tape unravelled and wrapped around bushes and whatnot.

LOL ahh memories.. Tape was never a perfect medium but I always tried to splice the broken tape in the event it became snarled in the cassette player. Hey, those things used to cost about $9.99 retail and also on recorded tapes, you sometimes had stuff recorded that was irreplaceable. Of course, if you left tapes in your car on a hot day, you would be fresh out of luck because if the plastic casing wasn't warped then the magnetic tape would corrupt and you'd have a pile of distorted recordings.

willmcconnell Posted April 22, 2019 #33 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Hi guys, im doing a documentary on urban myths so I was brought here. I remember my mum telling me that exact myth in Belfast, Northern Ireland. in her version, kids recorded satanic chants onto the tape then wound them round lampposts to provoke road accidents. No truth in it of course, just a story to scare kids - but interesting to see how the urban myth was UK-wide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
