You are all funny, humorous and humble, and thats how a good community is run. Again thankyou so much for those who joined in on my community and I'll see you whenever I can come back! By the way its been 7 months.

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?
