Hey everyone,

I recently came across a very obscure YouTube channel called “Sonia Sharman” and ended up falling down a rabbit hole. I’m posting it here because it genuinely feels like it could be an ARG or at least a deliberately constructed internet mystery, but it’s obscure enough that almost nobody seems to be talking about it.

Channel:

What the mystery appears to be about

From what I’ve found, the channel seems to revolve around a story involving several recurring names:

• Sonia Sharman (possibly the central figure)
• Lucy
• Harley Ratchel / Ratchel
• Maycon
• Eleanore

The content includes:

• Morse code titles/descriptions
• encoded messages hidden in uploads
• strange comment conversations between accounts
• recurring names and implied relationships/conflict
• references to bullying, violence, disappearance/death themes
• possible “in-universe” accounts interacting with each other

Some videos and comments imply an ongoing narrative between these people rather than random uploads, though it’s still unclear whether this is a real ARG, an art project, or something more personal that later became internet mystery material.

Findings so far

I documented everything I could find here:

Repo / documentation:
https://github.com/MaikeruDev/Sonia-Sharman

This includes:

• decoded Morse messages
• timeline of uploads
• suspicious/relevant accounts
• translated comments
• screenshots and archived findings
• theories vs confirmed information separation

Biggest recent lead

I managed to contact one of the old commenters who remembers finding the channel through Amino around 2020–2021, when people were apparently discussing the mystery. They may still have old screenshots or documentation from back then.

What still needs solving

Some open questions:

• Is this actually an ARG or something unintended/personal?
• Who are Sonia, Lucy, Maycon, Ratchel, and Eleanore supposed to be?
• Are the connected YouTube accounts part of the story?
• Is there missing content that got deleted?
• Does anyone remember this from Amino or elsewhere?

If anyone remembers this channel, has archives/screenshots, or wants to help investigate, let me know.
