Red rooms are supposed to be a “myth”, a “urban legend”, and everyone who hasn’t themselves been on a red room-deep web will tell you so.Īre they just urban legend or are they truly the worst content over the Internet? This was the same fate that befell anyone who saw the pop-up ad. Stories have it that the names belonged to people who had accessed the red room before and were found dead. If one tried to close it, a fullsized window would open with people’s names.

It’s believed that the red room term became popular after the Japanese animation where a pop-up ad kept showing on people’s screen with the question “Do you like the red room?”. There are even tons of stories of people telling their experiences and giving advice to future ‘spectators’. Every day, Internet users turn to sites like Reddit or 4chan to ask how they can access red rooms.
