    Comments: you people are smarter than i thot i did create the videos but there is money hiding look toward the videos i made then you will see good luck and fortress is really died i killed him good luck.

  • Jesus Christ people, it's fake. How many times should it be said? lmao

  • Fake

  • This is creepy if it's real but I'm not too sure it is.

  • fortress and al2 could have been the same poor bastard who wanted internet stardom, and when he knew he wasnt going to get it he did something to make himself popular

  • of course, the guy in the photo has to look creepy too hahahahhahahaha

  • Comment removed

  • What happens if you only look at the blue writing? Or the red writing? What message do we get then?

  • How do YOU know about this?

  • So Fortress got murdered or did al1 got murdered?

  • @MunchyPepper No one's figured it out yet.

  • @PykohYT actually, everyone has figured it out except you and your mom. its fucking fake, moron.

  • @mickymacky02 So what's the difference between fake and fucking fake?

  • One thing that bothers me is how is he unidentified if they have and printed a picture of him whilst alive? Seems like a major plot hole.

  • Ironically, looking at the hints, it's not that hard. I don't even live in the UK and I could figure it out.

  • I've been alone so long, but you'll find me now.

  • you go looking for death you find it

  • i got the tingles and shit. dats epic! that guy was annoying

  • Im legit so freaked out. My gosh.

  • @taytay8900

    YouTube wasn't in 16:9 in the days the story was presumably set in. This takes away from the immersion, otherwise this is a superb example of creepy pasta.

  • @Superguy521 yea it's not real, but it's not fake or a troll. It's called fiction, and it's a great story

  • maybe this is a bit far fetched but i think I've got it.

    if you go to al1 (al(one)'s) web site you get to see pictures , these pictures are high res so you can zoom in the browser directly and get very good quality of the pictures, and if you look at the 3rd picture you get a nice look at his thumb inside of the plastic bag. Now if you look at 5:01 and 5:32 you'll see his thumb if you pause you can see Fortress thumb have the same shape and the same redness around his nail as Al1.

  • @Loffe2k Good observation. Also, you can see pictures of Al1's shovel. And in Fortress's video you can also see his shovel while he's on the bus. They have they same scratch marks in the same places.

  • Here's what I think. Al1 makes a puzzle with a 9000 pound reward. "Fortress" Makes a video log as he solves it. Why would he do that? Wouldn't someone be practically following him, eventually leading to their meeting, and one kills the other? In this case it would be Fortress, because he has the blade. But then where would Al1 be? He could've just abandoned the money. Possibility 2: Al1 is Fortress. Fuck youtube and it's incredibly short character limit.

  • @Superguy521 Like I was saying, Al1/Fortress(in this possibility) made the puzzle, and the videos to lure an unsuspecting person to the trap, but why? The thrill? The money? Either way it was Al1 who killed, the victim, as he later deleted his YouTube channel so there wouldn't be any way to track him down. That also explains the single stab wound in the safe vid, and the fact that he uploaded the video I DOUBT there is any internet on a TRAIN. He could've deleted the channel to throw people off.

  • @Superguy521 *Single stab wound from the blade in the safe vid. Another piece of evidence to back up this theory is the fact that Fortress is Alone. He has no friends helping him. He sounds pretty old, so his parents being out on the town is out of the question. In the train video provided by xxxxfortressxxxx, we see in the reflection that fortress is wearing a hoodie... There's no explanation for wearing a hoodie in a train. He wore the hoodie so he wouldn't be caught in the reflection.

  • @Superguy521 Also why does the safe have a screw? An excuse to use the blade on the victim. Why doesn't he show his face in ANY of the videos? Why does he wear a hoodie in the train video. Remember these are just theories. I am not Al1 or fortress. just use logic. If anyone has ANY doubts of this please tell me, and I'll try to correct it. People who say tl;dr, Good for you. For those who say I have no life, take into consideration, the fact that I solved that one one else could solve,

  • @Superguy521 Heard of iphones... or any phone in fact? I bet you there were phone lines out there - there for he could've got internet using his phone or something

  • @OriginalShuffler Oh yeah. Thanks for pointing that out.

  • Look at the shovel on AL1's site then look at Fortress' shovel whilst he is riding on the train at 7:11 both shovels have a white spot on them on the left side. They both have the same white spot on them. Leading to the theory that both the pictures and the video were made by the same person, which in turn suggest AL1 and Fortress are the same person. Never the less amazing video!

  • the one problem i see in this story is that al1 would have had to stay out in that field for weeks just waiting in hopes that somehow even though barely anyone had even been to his site that someone would take the time to solve his riddle

  • @youfulloftube Well, Death has all the time in the world.

  • How could he close he's chanel, if he's dead?

  • @Tisburgeren that´s why we only see videos of the trip, not the destiny... destination, fuck it i´m mexican

  • How could he upload the clips, when he was dead?

  • That tale makes sense now :/

  • When i saw the idea in the comments that Al1 was AdamButcher, i thought it was an interesting idea, but had no reason to believe it.

    However.

    "This is a true story about the internet. Please, don't go."

    "The first person to find it" coupled with the text "not that simple" (which to be fair could easily have the same implications from the point of view of a person who simply knows the story, as AdamButcher does).

    And simply the idea that Al1 would want his story to be recognised. Worth a thought.

  • good video, but al1 one had to also be fortress. just makes more sense. creepy.

  • "its in metric fag." i loled

  • Well, we can only hope that Fortress died; the annoying sod.

  • Who cares if this is real or fake? It's a really entertaining story. :)

  • Youtube started Feb 14th 2005, but Fortress has been a member since Feb 7th 2005??

  • This should be seen more it's so devastating but so good.

  • Comment removed

  • ah, i understand

  • This is not real. If you look at the youtube link for Fortress' Videos.... it says yootube.com. Furthermore, the code of the website that he shows us has the author of 'Adam Butcher'. This shows that this can't be true

  • @BenHardingVideos his user name is xxxxFORTRESSxxxx

  • View Source Code on Al1's webpage. Ctrl + F "Adam Butcher". Mr. Butcher is the murderer!

  • Fortress confirmed autistic as fuck

  • This is the only thing I've ever seen in a very long time that has ever disturbed me. Fake or not.

  • @pyr666 Ok, Thanks :D

  • 2:50 You don't say!

  • wtf

  • I have to admit I was believing it all till I got to the end. Great story and great delivery of it.

  • Comment removed

  • did adam butcher make the fortress videos and al1's website as well?

  • fortress' videos are from 2008 and the news story death is 2005...unrelated to the 9grandquest....8.14 shows the date of the article (if it's a real article)

  • wow

    

  • Its fake, but its an awesome story, and great clues:D your really epic at making this. But about the other things you upload on your channel like for an example "BBC commercials" please just get rid of that, make your channel more based on the story telling, or just make another channel for the other things you upload, then there would be more organized. Just a quick tip:) But beside that, awesome! :D

  • al1,

    a l one

    a lone

  • in this video, the username is just 'fortress' and in the videos on here the username is 'xxxxFORTRESSxxxx' so a different username. also the 'wales tail' exists, but on Google earth, the field shaped like a house does not

  • @leonator123456 go to 2006 and it is there

  • @leonator123456 Look on google maps, the road just south of the field, if you follow it on google maps to the same spot, you will see the field, it's just not yellow, it's green, but the shape is the same.

  • @leonator123456 Just checked your field claim. It is there. But it is very green in Google Earth.

  • One hint: Look at the source code of Al1's webpage, it says "Author: Adam Butcher"

    Now try to resolve the mystery.

  • @TheTwober tow foot prints and a struggle I think a random person folod him and he killed him a random YouTuber

  • @TheTwober So.. does it mean it's all fake or? Need to know lol.

  • that just scared me shitless

  • Oh god. . .

  • Erm, is it just me that was confused as to how, if the pictures were each a letter of the alphabet, why some of the letters were repeated? I'm sure the alphabet only has one O... I think I may have misunderstood that part :)

  • "Fortress"' acting is fucking horrible. Completely eliminates the possibility of this being real.

  • Guys, stop trying to prove it´s real the video, it´s clearly fake for a number of reason:

    1. the Al1 quest page was made by adam butcher in 2009, not 2005.

    2. in the first puzzle, the secret message doesnt use all the letters (drawings) of the alphabet, so how comes that in this video we have access to all the drawings that weren´t used?

    3.Fortress video are hosted in yoottube,

    4.This video have an Imdb page.

    5.Al1 and Fortress have the exact same shovel.

    And the list goes on and on...

  • @Pennys1 Seriously, why abuse people on the internet. Your just a pathetic twat who needs to grow the fuck up and get a life

  • Just...wow...

  • cool story bro

  • Honestly, this made my skin crawl... GREAT film...

  • fake and most defiantly not gay.. loved it

  • "This is a true story about the Internet." Me: thanks for the warning...im not gonna watch it now...

  • fake and gay

  • also, how did the article include a photo of the "unidentified man", if he was dead when they found the body? he's alive in the picture...they'd have to know who it was to find a live picture. its definitely not a true story, VERY cool nonetheless

  • chuck norris kept the money

  • Is this actually real. Some say it's a hoax by Adam Butcher, some say that Al-1 is Fortress and that he commited suicide. So does anyone know what realy happened 'cos this is creeping me out?

  • @2011BoNeY its fake you fuckin retard

  • @2011BoNeY

    it's fake. well, sort of. some of the things in it actually happened, but much of it was changed or added to to tell a good story.

    the picture of the person and the face of adam butcher arent exactly hard to check against each other.

    honestly, kudos to the video maker. this is how urban legends get started.

  • at 5:48-5:53 , the word solve in the video title says slove

  • It got really creepy at the end...

  • theres alot of things that dont add up, the website says "4th of june 2005" and that the website is the BBC, just the bbc have no records of this article, and if you google the date, or the story, nothing appears..

  • Creepy, intriguing and creative. I love this video.

  • Yoottube? Haha

  • BBC News, the website at 8:02, has never had a headline "Body discovered on welsh farm".

    Also, youtube started a beta test in May 2005. So, with the timeline of the film taking more than 6 weeks and the "Body discovered..." headline being last updated 4th June 2005, the videos were uploaded to youtube before youtube existed.

    The "true story of the internet" is that people will believe anything, if presented with a compelling tale

  • The dead man found is the same person who sings in other videos of the editor of this video.

    Coincidence?

    I don't give a fuck.

  • Al1

    Al one

    Alone

  • @GloriousDescent These already a comment about that...

  • beached wales tail, takes him 2 weeks, took me 1/2 a second

  • Creepy as shit, but still pretty good video.

  • cool vid

  • This was actually pretty cool. Thanks reddit.

  • would be an awesome story for creepypasta. that story is creepy as shit...omg. its 3:35am and i am scared as hell. oh yeah...who needs sleep anyway...

  • The yellow words is a suicide note. Fortress is al1. "I've been alone for to long. But you'll find me now." And... we did

  • @girty97 two sets of foot prints and evidence of struggle

  • 4:09 the URL is yoottube.com

    

  • OH. SHIT. THAT'S. CREPPY.

  • Look at Al1s Guest book... htmlgear.tripod.com/guest/cont­rol.guest?u=al1ninegrandquest&­i=1&a=view, Fortress is alive.

  • I'm looking at it in Google maps, Im about 20 minutes Driving distance from that exact place and I have solved it this far, (No Seriously) but I'm not going. Fuck this shit I give up.

  • Spade in pictures = Spade in last video

    Same hand structure as well, same skin tone, same everything.

  • Wow this story is so wonderfully told!

    i really got chills, keep up the good work! :D

  • @nyuteme Keep up the good work? What do you mean by this?

  • @Icomentwhogivesashit What do YOU mean? I was saying to Adam Butcher, the guy who wrote it to keep up the good work with his stories. C:

  • I was re-watching this video when I saw that if you look on the first quest video and at the stats it says he was last signed in on the 2nd of June 2005. @1:21 So he must of killed Al1. As he was on his Youtube account at that time. 4 months after the news story took place.

  • This sounds like someone saw "Blair Witch" and Law & Order one too many times and had a crazy idea from it.

  • couldn't find the story on the BBC website

  • This video needs more views...

  • Wow.... I'm really freaked out now...

  • great you gave me the creeps

    thank you a lot

    i delayed my sleep to watch this,and now iw ont be able to sleep

    just a sec so i open my rooms door

  • too scared to finish the vid.... fml.

  • I don't get the connection to yellow. Good though

  • @gingersparkes

    it was the hint to get the (other) hidden message in the Wale's tale clue

  • Amazing..........

  • With this cryptographic system, it could be possible to spell out a variety of sentences.

  • Something's kinda bugging me with the puzzle, specifically the first chapter of it: how exactly could he find out which scene was representing it's respective letter in the alphabet without a sentence for reference that actually used each letter in the alphabet? One could say that one scene could represent each subsequent letter until the next scene in the sequence, but how do you determine which letter the next scene represents? Or which letter a scene with multiple letters is representing?

  • @LovelaceII He put the scenes in order comparing to the original tale. Then, he gave a letter in order to each one of them, and the repeated ones received the same letter.

  • @xtuber25 I know - In the sentence: 18 different letters, meaning 18 different scenes. There's 26 letters in the alphabet. How did he know which scene was representing was representing what letter in the sentence when the complete alphabet is not even referenced? Example: there's no C in the sentence, meaning the scene representing B could just as well be representing C. I'm guessing he just chose whatever letter made the sentence make sense, but it's possible it spells something else as well.

  • @LovelaceII I see. You're right, he definitely chose the letters that made sense, but it's not so hard to make that work out, for example, at 3:39 you can see that the picture with the 3 guys listening to the other one talking about Death is letter C, but at 3:46 you can see that the same picture is the fourth one (letter D), which probably means he tried letter C, but the word "FINC" doesn't make sense, so he used letter D instead. And probably the same thing with the other words.

  • God that was awesome, totally had me goin'. Snapped out of it once curiosity got the better of me and I read the comments lol. I still don't get if there was a body found though? Did Fortress/Al1 just kill himself? Or was that BS too?

  • try al-one. ALONE.

  • someone give this guy a medal

  • This is an amazing story but its just that. A story and no more. It is fake. Watch this /watch?v=Y2tTF2QRghE

  • This is AWESOME

  • Jesus christ now I'm sufficiently scared shitless.

  • wow... 

  • i hate to say this, but he, adam butcher published the website which gives the first clue, and shows him burring the money. But if you watch fortresses videos very closely, then you see that the shovel used to burry the money on the website was the same one he has in his hand on the train in the fifth video of him searching for the money. So, Adam Butcher is 3 people, Adam Butcher, Al1, and Fortress. But i do have to say, this is one of the greatest hoax of all time.

  • @NiceguyGames i still love this story though. well deciphered

  • @NiceguyGames very clever...but just one thing bothers me...what about the body? do you know something?

  • @NiceguyGames It's not a "hoax". It's a short film. A good one.

  • @NiceguyGames Or it's a kick-ass plot even greater than Fight Club.

  • @NiceguyGames Did you by any means at any time thought that this was for real? Anywho nice observation :)

  • @NiceguyGames Sounds legit, but who's the unidentified dead guy?

  • Anyone else thinks its strange the guy who uploaded it has butcher in his name

  • "I've been alONE" so long.

  • ho..ly...SHIT!

  • this story is false, but it's so well written; it amazes me

  • great story. Make a movie!!!

  • damn this was a good watch

  • Wow i was actually believing this for a while, very good.

  • great video summing up everything but - w w w .funnyjunk.c o m/youtube/2735314/Unsolved+Mur­der+Badass+story/337 pretty much sums up what I think happened.

  • @Zingzing426

    huh

  • That... Is deeply unsettling.

    Although it did not take me that long to get the "Wales" clue. Who knew there was an extra benefit to watching British sci-fi.

  • that was fucking incredible

  • there are some rumors around saying that you could be either of the men *interesting*

  • no video response option?

  • really gripping tale

  • Dude when he started talking about all yellow connections I started crying and got a sickish feeling....I don't even know why....

  • @321WolfLink123 SAME HERE

  • Oh my goodness.

    This is terrifying.

  • An Ubuntu styled start button?  The plot thickens.

  • real or fake, this is still creepy.

  • interesting, a contemporary internet-based fairy tale with the moral and fantasy attached, i like it

  • it's not real because the £20 notes they use in the pictures don't come into circulation until 2007 and the video is set in 2005.

    still very very creepy though

  • Amazing story. This is why I love the internet, making websites in order to make a story very believable. I like it even more when you get to interract with the story (usually as a community [maybe a forum for a game or something]).

    Again, this sent chills down my spine, I salute you.
