So about 4-5 years ago, there was a deep web conspiracy theory going around on 4Chan. It was known as Erratas. According to the theory, Erratas was a computer system used by big companies for copyright enforcement and employee tracking. The first mention of Erratas on 4Chan came about in 2015, with a post from an Anonymous user saying she was working at a factory and found a tape gun with the word "Erratas" written on it. She asked her co-worker what it meant but he said to throw out the tape gun and never mention the word again. The only thing known about this anonymous user was she was homeless and in a band. Ever since this first post there have been many clues and links as to what Erratas could be.
Since the original post, things that could be linked to Erratas and to each other have emerged, including:
- A band called KFC Murder Chicks (an all female band consisting of homeless women, just like the original anonymous 4Chan user)
- A fellow named Tod Ellsworth
- A Youtube account known as ChronosForLife JurassicPark
- A police sketch of a serial rapist from Hawaii
- The Postal Service

I know this isn't lost media related, but is still an interesting mystery and something to investigate and research. This conspiracy/mystery is very interesting to me and it would be awesome to discuss it, even though the interest for it died out 4 years ago. Is it true? Is it a hoax? Let me know what you think.

It's also good to note that several of those involved listed above have some connections to each other.
- In one of ChronosForLife's videos "Here Goes Nothing" the autocaptions bring up a address; 200 corbin ky 40219. This address has been removed from the captions and leads nowhere on Google maps. However the address appears on KFC Murder Chicks website.
- KFC Murder chicks references Tod Ellsworth as a writer on their website. Tod Ellsworth has been mentioned in a KFC Murder Chicks song "Get Shit Straight". Tod Ellsworth is also the name of the channel who uploaded a couple of KFC Murder Chicks' songs on Youtube.
- "Tod Ellsworth" is an anagram of "The Lost World" the second Jurassic Park movie and novel. This suggests a connection to ChronosForLife JurassicPark. In ChronosForLife's video "Answering questions" Chronos randomly states that the second Jurassic Park film (The Lost World) Is his favorite in the original Jurassic Park trilogy. This random insert mentioning The Lost World is questionable.

-There has been a few other connections to each other with the police sketch from 2005 and the Postal Service, but I won't get into those (watch blameitonjorge's vid for full details) but the connections between ChronosForLife, Tod Ellsworth, and KFC Murder Chicks are the most interesting to me and something good to note. Most of this "Erratas" thing is just an old mystery that has become a meme in recent years, but I still find it very interesting and mysterious.

Yea, one of the theories is that KFC murder chicks was using or at least participated in the Erratas thing for promotional purposes.
