I never posted here on the forums before, but this is something I wanted to discuss with you. Just keep in mind that this is based on truthful events and not me writing some sort of Creepypasta. I'm giving you a little heads up.
Around my second year at middle school in 2015 (at least, according to my knowledge), I was searching through "weird/bootleg VHS closings" until I came upon a mysterious video on YouTube. The video title seems like it was written out as "Weird closing to Babe the Gallant Pig bootleg VHS", which I love considering that it is listed on YouTube's search engine at the time. The thumbnail looked like this, despite it being obviously a camera-recorded video: i.ytimg.com/vi/J04XPr0Zk9A/hqdefault.jpg
Knowing that it'd be one of those weird VHS closings I regularly watch on a daily basis, I decided to watch it without hesitation. The video started with a camera recording the last few seconds of the ending credits from the 1995 movie "Babe", which got cut off before they're done; as it was the case for other bootleg releases. But unlike most videos I've seen, there are several seconds of blue screen that appear without any logo attached to it whatsoever. Not long after the first 5 or 10 seconds, I could hear the wavy whooshes play throughout the rest of the video and never stops (as if I was playing a loop of a sound effect from Pac-Man 2's pre-opening cutscene title card). During the looping whooshes, someone from Mexican origin is speaking something that I just don't understand at the time. The video turned out to be in Spanish, with no indication of it ever being recorded from any Spanish-speaking Latin American country. I was so confused about why it wasn't in English.
I also read the description, which read as follows (ALERT: This may not turn out to be the same video description, so forgive me): "I will put in English subtitles soon" or some random crap. At the time (Yes, I was only fourteen), I wasn't really frightened or anything. Just a simple bootleg VHS closing that sounded rather odd. The only time I seem to recall watching the video in question is when I was on my way home from school. Here's the thing: I wasn't familiar with the Spanish language yet at the time, so it could not make any sense for my knowledge. So after five years, I forgot about it completely. I also haven't seen it on YouTube ever since. Maybe the channel who uploaded it got shut down? Who knows?
Then, just about last year in 2020, it popped up in my mind as if I knew its existence. I should know that this Spanish-speaking bootleg VHS closing is absolutely 100% REAL and should not be considered fake. Hell, I did a reconstruction of what it looked like just in time for last Halloween, which I still have the video file of. I might reupload it again probably this October. As harmless as that bootleg VHS closing video was, I wouldn't be able to find it again.
End of backstory. Help me find this lost YT video that was once on YouTube!
