TIL that Livy reported that in 186 BC, 7,000 Bacchanalians were executed or imprisoned for ritual sexual abuse of those under 20 and for hurrying victims off to hidden caves in an immense multitude, almost equal to the population of Rome.
That is crazy and probably related. Most likely people have been looking for portals for a very long time, I wouldn't be suprised if many actually found them and if this has everything to do with dark happenings with creatures of darkness. Though I will say I've heard where evil abounds God's goodness abounds even more, meaning where there are demons there are angels fighting them.
My first take was that Backrooms (web series and film) is a mental lever to get people to talk about DUMBs and the probability that every institutional building does have such rooms. Trump is broadcasting what they are in the ballroom, for instance. I won't name in what institutions the rooms are. For now. If you go ten large buildings in any city you've probably been in an average of one that has a Backrooms portal. Not all are in buildings.
But there's another take, which is that other Backrooms are the spiritual rooms that defy physical laws. These appear in visions and NDEs, where I'll just allude to buildings that change size or shape. I have some of the 4D worked out for them. That seems more the direction Kane intends, and in that sense it's a 2-in-1 mental lever because it gets people talking about accessing that realm too, and the UAPs and such.
I will testify, with 1% exaggeration. I was nearly inducted into entering a door into the Backrooms, but declined. Instead we went outside to the graveyard, but I declined to enter that too. I was covered and felt no fear, I just didn't have a need as I took the guide's word for everything. That wasn't far from the R.C. Christian monument.
Another time I did enter a door into the Backrooms, that was in Texas, again around midnight. Nothing was physically impossible, but pointless unsafe arbitrary wall ladders and large sculptures that tempted climbing were incongruous. In this case we knew the way in and another way out and we had no encounters, but the guide was shocked at how fearless I was when anything could have been encountered.
There are probably offices I've been in where I've seen or passed through a door to the Backrooms where no party knew whether it was official space or off-book space. If I think of them I might add them. Oh yeah, I passed through Backrooms of a haunted amusement park, those workers will tell you how because they know where the demarcs are. Shoulda included that one, but I was distracted with company and scheduling that time. Last week I was at a furnishings store just before I saw the trailer for Backrooms and I shoulda made that connection too because it's exactly the right kind of old building, but I declined to enter the staircase or to cross the guide rope. These are all the first category. The second category only comes to me in dreams.
I suppose the growth industry will be combining the two, that's the whole idea of having the material portal that regulates the spiritual realm, isn't it? Something to include in my Laws of Pneumatics.

I've seen this guy posted here before and thought some might enjoy this breakdown.
From video: Most people think the Backrooms started with a single 4chan post in 2019 and then blew up when Kane Pixels dropped his found footage series on YouTube. They're wrong. The Backrooms are real, and someone described them in exact detail 2,000 years before the internet existed. In this investigation, we go back to primary sources: the Dead Sea Scrolls, a forgotten 1840 letter from missionary Elkanah Walker, and indigenous oral traditions that describe liminal spaces with disturbing precision. The endless yellow rooms. The sense that you can't escape. The feeling that something is watching you from just beyond the wall. It's all there, preserved in texts that predate the modern internet by two millennia. So the question isn't whether the Backrooms are real. The question is, what did ancient people know that we're just now figuring out? And guys, I'm not making this up. It's in the primary records. I put them on screen right here in this video.I want to thank you all for watching this video. We'll see you next time. And God bless you all.
