I’ve been trying to find an old YouTube video that I watched around \*\*2009 or so\*\*, when I was first exploring YouTube. I’ve searched for it on and off over the years but haven’t been able to find it, and I’m beginning to wonder if it was deleted or has become lost media.
Here’s what I remember:
I’m fairly certain the video was titled \*\*“New Jersey Devil Attack”\*\* or something extremely close to that.
I watched it around \*\*2009\*\*, though the upload itself may have been older.
It was presented as \*\*found footage\*\*, making it seem like it was a real recording.
I specifically remember the title and/or description claiming that the incident took place in \*\*Boston, Massachusetts\*\*, \*\*not New Jersey\*\*. I’m quite confident about this because I distinctly remember people in the comments pointing out that the New Jersey Devil is supposed to be associated with New Jersey, making the video’s location claim suspicious.
The footage was very shaky, as if the people filming were frightened or running.
Most of the video showed what appeared to be a \*\*large storm drain, sewer entrance, culvert, or tunnel\*\*.
I remember there being a \*\*small light visible deep inside the tunnel\*\*.
Twice, at two different points between short intervals there was a \*\*very loud, high-pitched scream or screech\*\*, which the video implied came from the New Jersey Devil.
I don’t remember seeing the creature clearly, if at all.
There wasn’t much dialogue—just some distant voices before the scream.
The ending strongly implied that the people filming were attacked or disappeared and were \*\*never found alive\*\*.
I also remember many people in the comments saying the video looked fake or questioning its authenticity.
One detail I remember quite well is that someone later made a \*\*YouTube video response\*\* (back when YouTube still supported video responses) where they visited the supposed filming location and concluded that there was nothing unusual there, suggesting the original video was a hoax.
I fully understand that the video was almost certainly \*\*fake\*\*, and I’m \*\*not\*\* trying to prove it was real. I’m simply trying to locate the original upload or find out if anyone else remembers it.
Because this was around \*\*16–17 years ago\*\*, it’s possible that a few minor details are off. However, I’m most confident about the following:
The title being \*\*“New Jersey Devil Attack”\*\* (or something extremely similar).
Watching it around \*\*2009\*\*.
The found-footage style.
The tunnel/storm drain with a light visible inside.
The loud screech.
The claim that it happened in \*\*Boston\*\*, which people criticized in the comments.
The existence of a follow-up debunking/video response where someone visited the location.

Does anyone else remember this video, know who uploaded it, or know if it’s been archived anywhere?

I’ve been trying to remember the title of a movie I caught on TV as a kid (probably sometime in the 2000s, maybe 2010s, but I’m almost certain it was in the 2000s since I was a little kid at the time, though the movie itself could have been older).
Here’s what I remember with varying degrees of confidence:
It was almost certainly an American movie with white actors.
The main character discovers a note or message revealing that he’d been tricked by the antagonist.
He chases the antagonist onto a commercial airplane.
During the climax, the antagonist convinces another male passenger to give him one of his socks.
The antagonist stuffs the sock into the protagonist’s mouth to gag him.
I remember the antagonist using (or pretending to use) a **defibrillator/AED** on the protagonist. I think he was pretending the protagonist was having a medical emergency in order to fool the passengers, while actually harming or restraining him.
A woman is also on the plane, and I’m pretty sure she says something very close to **“You killed my dog!”** when she realizes the antagonist has been lying.
The protagonist then spits the sock out.

I’m pretty sure the scene was also played out straight, so not an over the top parody or comedy moment

I also vaguely remember the movie ending with the protagonist and antagonist sitting on a bench talking (possibly at an airport or train/subway station).
I’m aware memories from childhood can be unreliable, so some details may be slightly off, but the airplane, sock gag, defibrillator, and dog revelation are the parts I remember most strongly.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Update: It was School For Scoundrels

Thanks!

If anyone has any ideas or can recognize it, please do comment, it’s something I can remember so vividly yet can’t remember much else at all, it’s kinda driving me a bit nuts.
