The Grifter is a video that was first mentioned somewhere on 4chan's /x/ imageboard. It was posted back in 2007-8 under some foreign link, the OP basically posted the link stating how fucked up it was. It was real grainy but from what I remember it showed strange images, like a bathtub full of writhing maggots, haunting paintings from old times melting, random forests, flashing colors, text in a different language. All while a strange voice played which sounded like a strange murmur.
Then the graininess lifted a little, and there was a video of a small puppy being held up by it's neck, it was moving like in pain but it's cries where like a human child's. It then cuts to a nursery with lots of cradles. All the children were still in their cots, presumed dead, it panned over to one of the cots, and one of the newborns raised up a little, beginning to cry, and was bleeding from the eyes and mouth. then another shot of a basement with a malformed hand disappearing into it, blood stained.
Than it showed more text (someone stated it said "your race is one that is dying") with an image of a plant rotting very quickly, close ups of corpses, and what I can only describe as 'real' cases of exorcism and demonic possession, which clearly have never been seen outside the said country of origin. While this scene plays, the voice that was talking fairly calmly, breaks out into screams of intense pain and suffering, which is just as deeply chilling as the initial shock.
Finally, there is a message at the end of the video in Esperanto that says:
"The following is a portrait of the deeds of the man-demon known as 'the Grifter', who committed acts of terror by the seas of the Balkans thirty years ago. He killed countless children and animals until he inexplicably disappeared in August Two Thousand and One of the Common Era.
Here we present two minutes of film deemed "acceptable" by international authorities for public knowledge. The rest was deemed too disturbing for general audiences.
The complete footage runs at almost 100 hours long, consisting of many acts of cruelty to all kinds of living things. For the most part, those sections have been sealed in an evidence vault and kept away from public view.
The sections you are about to see were provided by the police of several Balkan nations and approved for worldwide distribution.
The distributors of this film would offer their deep thanks to those organizations."
