Thank you again to all of our sponsors, and welcome

back to this week's edition of.

Fact or Fict-Influencer,

where we discuss and debunk, some of

the craziest viral videos on social media.

Yes, we doooo!

This week, we are following up on last month's

episode about Parker Shaw and his channel, Explore with Parker.

Because he has recently released some new

footage from his Mall Investigation Video.

As listeners remember, I was pretty

pro-Parker Shaw, when we first talked about his video.

And honestly, after saying the new evidence, I'm

100% on his side now.

So Parker Shaw is this content creator

and he went to explore, investigate

this old mall in his hometown,

in the hopes of finding some missing woman who was allegedly

a part of a small cult.

Check, check, check.

Hey, what's going on, everyone?

This is Parker Shaw, and welcome back to another episode of Explore with Park...

Hey, what's going on, everyone?

This is Parker Shaw and welcome back to another episode of Explorer with Parker.

Today we've got a...

Today we have another fucking investigation video...

because that's the niche that I have found myself in.

I just, I'm sorry.

I just I get really frustrated because I've been grinding on

this channel for years and I have a lot of subscribers.

Uh, just not a lot of people see my videos anymore...

but...

It's just really frustrating because

I put a lot of...

Blood, sweat, tears

and money into these videos and no one sees them.

Um, not even my subscribers, so that's awesome.

But...

Maybe I just don't know how to use the internet.

Maybe I am posting at the wrong time.

I have no idea, but, uh,

It's not all about views.

I do enjoy doing this.

I do like going and exploring, but...

It would just be really nice to get a, uh...

Return on investment sometime...

Future Parker, let's delete that.

Okay.

Lock in, let's go.

Hey, what's going on, everyone?

This is Parker Shaw and welcome back to another episode of Explore with Parker.

Today we have a local investigation involving a hometown

tragedy, and sadly, a life lost.

See, that wasn't so fucking hard...

For those of you that don't know, I live just outside of Los Angeles, California.

And sadly, a few months back, tragedy struck this community.

A young woman by the name of Dana Morgan, seemingly

took her own life up here at one of the department stores of the old condemned mall.

Now, here in town, we have two malls,

We have the old mall and then we have the new mall,

which is about 10 miles east from the old one.

And the reason why it's called the old mall is most of the businesses

are sadly condemned and the city hasn't done anything with the property.

It's just been sitting there....

The old mall's department store sort of became

the hub for a lot of teenagers and young adults to sneak in,

party, hang out.

Who knows what they were up to?

Now, Dana Morgan and her friends were frequent visitors of this mall.

A lot of people who have gone there before, have seen them, and

they were definitely into some interesting subject matters.

Not a lot of presence online, but internet sleuths

have done a little bit of digging, and the reason why they're sort of sticking to this

is in the police report for Dana's passing,

there is mention of a "strange symbol"

nearby her body.

Now, a lot of people like myself sort of chalk that up to, "Yeah, the mall's"

been open and who knows who's been going in there.

There's probably all sorts of graffiti and whatnot.

However, people on the internet are definitely leaning

more towards the side of it being an occult symbol.

Now, I'm not well versed whatsoever in occultism

or what's it called..?

Demonology..?

But...

I can't lie and say that I wasn't

interested when I heard

that there was something weird found at the place where she passed.

And basically, because this is so close to me, I only live

about a half hour away from the old mall...

I figured

this would be kind of foolish to pass up because it's so

close, and it is a story that has a lot

of unanswered questions.

What really happened to Dana Morgan?

Did she take her own life?

Was there foul play involved?

These are the questions that I'm hoping to answer by going to explore the

old department store where Dana Morgan passed away.

The thing that really made me want to check out this case a little bit

further was the fact that just 2 days as of this recording.

Dana Morgan's body was exhumed from its final resting place.

The body's gone.

No one knows who took it.

No one knows where it is.

That definitely made me feel pretty uneasy.

I don't think it's right to desecrate the dead

in any respect, but in light of the

strangeness of her passing.

I figured there may be some clues worth checking out at the old mall.

Plan for the rest of the day is I'm going to go out and do a quick location scout,

which is not something I get to do too often.

If you've watched my channel, you see that the places I tend to explore are

a bit of a drive or often a flight away.

So the fact that I get to do something so close to home, definitely kind of exciting.

So we're going to go over there, do a quick location scout, and

then the plan is to head back to the old mall tonight, to

hopefully find out what happened to Dana Morgan.

See you in the car!

Okay, so I just parked, uh, kind of nearby here at the old mall,

and, um, I don't think I need

to be that worried, like, 'cause there's still, like, stores nearby that are open.

Uh, like, this half of the mall, I guess, is not safe, but

the security guards are still kind of cruising around.

So...

Not that I think I'm gonna get caught or anything...

But uh...

I mean I'm not doing anything.

I'm not doing anything.

I'm just walking around.

But I'm going to see if I can just go take a look real quick.

Uh, see if any other point of

entry might be possible, but, uh, my tip said that

there is a back door in the loading dock uh, of the

department store and...

He said usually it's

just like a little ajar, so I should be able to get in.

I'm not going to go check that out right now because it's broad daylight

and on the off chance a security guard sees me, I don't

want, you know, I don't want to get in trouble.

But, um, I am gonna see, uh, if I can just take a quick look around.

So, let's go!

Can't really see too much.

It's, uh, definitely, it's boarded up in the front.

You guys will see the footage.

It's boarded up in the front, but...

I'm thinking I'm

gonna show up around 11:30, maybe 12,

maybe midnight, we shall see, but...

I'm planning on being there until I find something concrete that will explain what

happened to Dana Morgan.

Nah, it's fine. It's fine.

What's up, everyone?

We just pulled up here to the old mall and I am getting

ready to head in.

I am not anticipating any problems, but for some reason I'm nervous.

Um, I think the prospect of being there alone tonight is actually giving

me the creeps a little bit, but without further ado.

It's time to Explore with Parker™.

I feel so-Why did I make that my catchphrase?

Now it's time to see if uh...

that tip was any good, that...

That I found...

I hope no one...

Like I said, there's patrols that uh... still cruise through here from what I saw.

So hopefully, uh... I can just get in here.

Okay, he said that the door should just be slightly ajar, so...

Oh shit!

It is!

Alright...

Okay.

I gotta see if I can...

prop this...

door open...

Okay!

Yeah this is... uh...

It's very spooky...

Um...

Yeah, I mean, I don't think anyone's gonna, like, come in here, but...

I don't know.

What the heck is that?

I gotta...

I gotta zoom in on this...

Well, that feels "occulty" to me...

Does this go up to the roof?

Yeah, looks like it...

Well...

That's cool...

but, uh...

Let's...

dive deeper...

Ew.

Yuck...

Oh, it's a dummy...

Oh, my God.

Oh, my goodness, I literally...

It's like "There's a fucking corpse over in the corner!"

I don't think I would wanna hang out here, though.

I mean, you might be saying to yourself,

"Uh, Parker, you do this all the time, dude.

What are you talking about?"

Just 'cause I do it all the time does not mean that I like it.

I'll just say that.

There's not a lot of information about Dana.

Um, she was friends with a small group of people.

Um, none of whom really have a huge social

media presence, so Internet detectives have definitely

kind of tried to look around and poke around and see what they could find.

And, uh, the only thing we can really deduce

is that, uh, people of, this town kind of found them to

be weird, or maybe even, like, a little off putting or scary, 'cause, you

know, they're definitely into some, like, darker stuff, but...

The only person, uh, who had a social media

presence, but was quickly privated after

Dana passed was her boyfriend, Lee Russell.

Um...

So, like I was saying, Lee Russell, Dana's boyfriend, and,

uh, her family said that they didn't think

that Dana was suicidal?

Um...

However, it did come out that she spent most

of, if not all of the pandemic, with Lee.

And...

people online are

sort of, uh, assuming that that's when they started getting more

involved in, uh, looking into this darker stuff, you know,

occult things and, wow...

Oh, this place is big.

Whee!

So, yeah, no sign of, uh, anything

too weird yet, but I do feel like, um...

if we look hard enough, we'll find something.

But, dude, I cannot tell you guys how... spooky,

quiet it is in here.

It's so creepy...

Left.

That's the thing... I don't even I don't even know if this...

Okay, well that's not even...

It's not even able to be opened.

Ooh?

The fuh...

Yeah, no.

This building does make noise, though.

Like it's so quiet.

And then whenever there's a creak, or, like, it was raining

earlier, so I feel like I keep hearing drops come down, but...

Anyway...

Blegh...

I do not like long hallways.

Ahh... especially those that lead to a dark windowless room.

No, I kid...

You guys know I love...

Love checking out creepy places with you, but...

Yeah, man, this place is just all... people's garbage.

But, uh...

The hell is that..?

Is that an upside down...

cross?

Are these like different...

Are these like different...

Tattoo ideas or something?

Oh, there's more of these things...

Now, as I told you guys earlier, I'm not...

I'm not well versed in the occult, or...

Why can I never - demonology?

Um, but I don't know, the... anytime

I see an upside down cross, I... my

brain immediately goes to, uh, devil shit, satanic

stuff, um, I guess it could be upright, but that doesn't really...

Yeah, I have, uh, I have no idea what to make of that.

What is this one?

"HELL YEAH"

I don't know, this...

I think this definitely qualifies as a "Strange symbol."

Now, they did say, they said that it was near the body.

Uh, this is not, I don't think this

is where Dana sadly passed, but

the, uh...

I don't know...

Something about this feels...

Uh legit?

Um I'm gonna...

I think I'm gonna bring this one...

This one with me, 'cause...

You never know...

If we ever do get a, uh...

A look at what the police photographed, then maybe I could at

least say, "Hey... same symbol."

But it's definitely something, you know, somewhat concrete,

so... we will press on,

see what we can find...

Ughhh...

Smells terrible in here...

Oh, my God...

Ew...

"e ev tor."

Oh, is this the uh...

Is this the vault for the...

Department store?

They've been ransacked!

"Locked in safe."

It was...

Sorry, friend.

Oh! The lockbox!

Let's see...

That would have been really funny if there was something in there, though.

Eewwwww...

Blluughhh...

But, uh...

Hello, creepy.

"Parker, don't touch the creepy doll!"

Ew!

Its eyes open up, dude.

Yeah, no, I should probably...

Yeah... sorry!

There is a downstairs floor but...

My buddy, who, uh...

Told me about the, uh, tip said it's all flooded down there?

And there's a lot of what's called, uh, still water.

And...

Oh, you can kind of see it.

Yeah, if we go down there, um...

Who knows what diseases you're gonna catch?

But, uh...

Wait, what does this say?

"No bops allowed..."

"Rizzzzz-."

Oh, Come on...

Stupid...

Stupid...

The hell is this?

Ugh I can't... hang on...

I can't read this.

Okay, what is this?

What does this say?

Fear will not weaken me...

I will be what is feared...

Any resistance...

Any doubt that tempts me to deny the destiny of my vessel

is an illusion...

I must stay the course.

It's an honor to empty myself.

I will be no longer, no self... something, someone greater.

Look upon me with disgust and desire...

Don't listen to my voice,

Another soon will speak...

What is this...?

Is that a "DM," dude?

Dana Morgan...

Did she write this..?

I'm, uh...

I feel like I should put the...

Naw, dude... I'm...

I'm gonna keep this...

I'm gonna keep this.

This is like the most concrete thing I've found yet.

What the hell?

Oh, this is like a...

Oh, this is like where it looks out on the street.

Yeah...

Whoa...

I just fucking tripped on that thing...

Yeah, there's no shortage of, uh, creepy things here.

Like, what is this?

This is like a mask?

This thing is - this is huge...

This like an art project..?

I don't uh...

Oh, shit!

Is that a dead fucking body?

Oh, it's a sleeping bag.

Okay, it could be somebody...

Oh, my God, should I check on 'em?

No, he's probably fine. I...

Aww...

Hey uh...

Knock, knock. Hey!

Hey buddy...

Hey, man, I just, I just wanted to make sure you're okay...

Hey pal...

Hey man...

Hey man..?

Oh, shit...

I'm fuckin' sorry!

I'm sorry, man!

I'm sorry...

Hey!

What is it?

What?

What time... is it?

What time is it?

That's uh yeah...

You!

I said what time is it??

Uh... It's like, it's like 2:30, dude?

Ugh Two!

Two Two Two!

They said Two Two Two!!

Who? What!?

They said...

Who said -

They said 222 they'll be back!

They said...

they'd be back at two, two, two....

What the fuck, dude...

MOVE!

GET OUT OF THE WAY!

Ohhhh shit!

They coming...

Oh, shit...

What the fuck was that..?

Oh, shi-

Oh god, sorry, I'm, like, shaking...

What was he talking about?

Two, two, two, like, 2:22..?

The fuck, dude?

Oh, shit, man.

Oh, that just got my heart rate going so bad...

Ugh, shit.

Okay, uh, the more I'm thinking about it, I think

that dude is probably...

I don't know...

It's better safe than sorry, I'm uh...

I'm gett-I'm getting out of here...

I'm sorry guys...

I'm bailing...

I'm uh...

I think I've seen enough.

And I have that note, so...

Ssshhhhitttt......

Oh, come on, dude...

Fuck...

Oh, shit...

Ugh, dude, this guy fucking...

He let the door jam...

Oh, shit...

This cannot be the only way out of this place...

He said it was the only way in, but there's... there's gotta be another...

Could go to the roof, maybe?

I don't...

I don't uh...

I do not want to go back in there...

Shit...

Ugghhhhhhh.

Just..damn it...

Yeah, I gotta be honest, guys.

I, uh, I've never been trapped in a, uh, location...

for a video.

Um, it's just not... not something

that's happened before, so I'm kind of...

freaking out, but, uh, I'm just gonna keep shooting.

Oh, my God, what was that?!

Where did that come from?

Oh, shit...

Oh, god, I hope that wasn't the guy from earlier...

Oh, fuck...

Oh, shit, I hope he's okay.

Oh my god...

Shit...

Oh, should I call the cops, dude?

No, no, dude, you...

You broke and entered to get in here...

Oh, jeez...

Ughhhh....

Okay...

Oh, God, I do not...

I do not like this at all...

Every time I find a new room, and I come back out here,

I just, like, get so turned around again.

God, I just gotta keep going.

Sorry, it just...

It feels good to talk to you guys, even though I know you can't hear me right now.

You're listening in the future, but...

I'm, uh... genuinely fucking freaked out, guys.

Ah, shit...

Shit...

What is that?

What the...

Oh, fuck...

Oh, my god...

Oh, shit.

They have that guy...

Oh my god...

Oh, shit...

Okay, I think they're gone...

Fuck man...

Oh, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.

Ah, fuck.

I can't call them...

I can't call the cops, dude...

Oh, goddamn it. I hope...

Fuck, I hope that guy's okay.

I just...

I think those were Dana's friends, man.

Why the fuck?

Why the fuck are they dressed like that..?

What did they do to that guy?

Gah, shit, I gotta fucking get out of here, man...

Oh, god...

Just... just go...

Oh, I do not like this.

Oh, I don't like this at all...

Oh, god...

HEY!

Okay, so it's been, like, I don't know, ten

minutes, and, uh, I haven't seen anyone.

And, uh, fuck, man.

Ahh scared the shit out of me, but, uh...

I gotta try moving again, and, uh, I still

have no fucking idea where to go, but, uh...

Here goes nothing...

What the...

Oh, I wonder...

Oh, I wonder if I can get out that way...

Ah, I just don't want to have to keep backtracking out of this place... I don't...

What the hell..?

You're the same little dude from earlier...

Dana Morgan.

Yeah, the...

The article did say she was buried with her favorite doll.

I wonder...

You're coming with me...

I, uh...

I just really don't want to have to keep back tracking out of this place, but...

WHOA!

Come, we must begin...

What about the doll?

She will know us...

We don't need it.

It was precautionary, anyway...

Ugh! Oh, god!

Ohhhhhh....Ahhhhh....

Oh, god, please open...

Oh, god...

Oof...

Fuck!

Hnnghh!

Damn it...

Oof!

God...

Ah... why would...

Why would they...

Why would they need you?

Yeah...

I'm keeping you...

Agh...

Okay, so... the good news is my...

My leg has stopped bleeding, I think, so...

Oh, it's still fucking hurts, though.

Shit!

I just don't know if...

I don't know if I'm gonna find another way out of here.

God, why did that fucking door have to get stuck?

Egh...

Egh...

Yeah, I definitely...

I feel like I gotta be in shock or something, 'cause...

Like...

It hurts really bad, but I thought it'd be worse, honestly, but...

Oh, I bet you...

I bet you when I get out of here, it's gonna hurt...

SO bad....

on the way to the hospital.

Oh, god...

Oh, I just gotta keep moving...

Gah... damn it...

Egh...

What is that sound..?

Oh shit...

Oh my god...

Oh, what the fuck is this?

Hooooooly shit...

Oh, my god...

Oh... that's Dana Morgan...

Oh fuck...

There's that guy, too.

What the fuck are they doing?

Holy shit...

Oh....oh what the....

What the fuck..?

Oh fuck...

We give an offering of our life force,

bestowed freely, without second thought to

awaken your resting earthly vessel...

May our flowing blood, pass to your lips

from this goblet, embody our devotion and

sacrifice to ensuring your return...

Oh, fuck... they're...

They're cutting their hands and they're...

They're draining the blood into that cup...

Oh, shit...

Oh, god, no, no, no...

Oh... fuck...

What are they doing..?

Oh... fuck...

What are they saying?

What the fuck.....?!

Receive this offering, oh, Dark One, may it bring you vitality,

and healing strength to rise from below,

and join us

on the mortal plain, where we await your arrival...

Oh fuck...

Oh god...

They're... they're feeding it to her...

Oh fuck...

Oh god...

What the fuck!?

Our dearest Dana...

Three months ago, this night, we bore witness as

you released yourself from the cage of the mortal body,

and bravely traveled to the depths of Hell...

Tonight, we call you back to this mortal realm,

Your soul now empowered by the journey you have

taken, and ready to be in our Dark Queen!

Return to us now and rise!

Return to us now and rise!

Return to us now and rise!

Return to us now and rise!

Return to us now and RISE!

Did it work?

Shh!

Are you with us?

How do I know if it works?

Shh!

Feed her! Give her the man, you fools!

Hold him!

Hold him steady for her!

Feed her!

No!

Oh shit...

Agh... not again...

Gah... fuck it...

Agh shit!

Agh shit!

Ah fuck...

Oh, god...

Hmph!

Oh fuck!

Lee lied to us...

That wasn't supposed to happen...

He fucking lied to us...

She was supposed to recognize us...

She ripped Jackson's fucking throat out...

It wasn't supposed to happen....

I'm so fucking sorry!

Escuse me man... sorry...

She fucking...

Why the fuck wouldn't...

Oh, shit.

No, no, no, no, no, no!!

Please, please, please, please, please!

Oh god...

Oh, god, no...

Fuck...

Oh god...

Holy shit...

Um...

Oh fuck...

Oh, shit!

Oh my god...

Oh my fuck...

Oh, I made it...

Oh, I made it, you guys! Holy shit...

Oh, fuck me...

Oh, my god...

Oh, god, I have to...

I have to go to the ER.

Holy shit...

No one's gonna believe this.

What's up, everyone?

It's a "Present Parker."

Thanks for watching the, uh, raw footage.

Um...

That's, uh, that's everything.

I chopped up the beginning when I was talking a little bit,

just so you weren't bored by me, but, uh, that's

everything I shot, and I am pretty sick of people calling me a liar.

Like I said, uh, If this doesn't do it, I don't know what will.

But at this point, I've had enough.

Like I said, at the beginning of the video,

I'm planning on stepping away for a little bit, but as

I was putting this edit together, I just wanted to, uh, ask

you guys to just stop.

I'm glad some of you enjoyed the video.

I'm bummed that more of you didn't.

Um...

What's not okay, though, is, uh, the

harassment, and, uh, yeah, big thanks to,

uh, whoever doxxed me because I keep getting,

um, creepy, weird shit like this.

Let's see, these came in today.

Let's see, what is this?

Hey, Parker, fuck you, fucking liar, you should k♪ll, you should k♪ll yourself.

Thanks!

Uh... and then, yeah, you know, stuff like this.

Like, this is, you know, yeah, ha ha, it's real funny.

We know, I get it.

But, um, yeah, I've just, I've had enough.

And then this creepy motherfucker showed up today.

Umm...

I don't know, maybe this is a new brand deal for Parker Shaw.

I have no idea, but, yeah, you know what?

Let's um, let's open this up on camera.

Let's, uh, we're gonna see...

We're gonna see what this is all about...

Oh, god...

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.

Fuck...

Oh god...

What the fuck?

What the fuck?

That was not on...

I swear, that was not on...

What the hell is this?

What the fuck?

What the fuck?

What the fuck?

Leave me alone...

Yeah, so he shows us this ritual going on.

Umm...

And the woman in the video is a dead ringer,

Pardon the pun,

for this missing girl, Dana Morgan.

With AI, it's so easy to fake stuff

like this, and we've seen it time and time again!

And I'm not sure that this guy is legit.

Like, I think he might be using this horrible situation of

this grieving family.

They lost a daughter and he's just using

this horrible situation and turning it into clickbait.

But, I mean, we have to look at the statement from the Morgan family themselves

who says this IS their daughter, Dana...

They're dealing with their grief.

They want to put the whole situation to rest.

I mean-

But the facts are the facts.

Alright?

They literally have medical records that

show that Parker was in the hospital, that he

sustained serious injuries from the incident,

and on top of that, after his little

stint at the mall, the mall mysteriously caught on

fire and burned down...

The cops literally cleared him because the medical

records show that he was at the hospital at the time of the arson!

Right, but who's to say that Parker didn't have friends involved?

I mean, maybe they set the fire to cover up his tracks.

I'm not even above saying that the people performing the ritual

weren't just Parker's friends.

The only crime that this man committed was breaking

and entering, and he already paid a fine for that.

It just seems too perfect.

He just happens to go to the mall on what

happens to be the anniversary of Dana Morgan's death

and just stumbles upon this cult ritual in progress.

He has no horror content on his social media.

Maybe he's gone to some spooky places, but

it's all about discovery and like exploration.

He did state in the beginning of his new video that he's

been struggling to get viewers on his channel.

And what's a better way to get viewers than to basically make a horror movie?

Or make a deal with the devil...

Before we keep arguing about this,

You clearly believe him,

I have my doubts.

Let's watch some of the footage, and of course, we always want to

hear from our listeners in the comments.

So is this story fact, or is

Parker Shaw merely another...

FICT-INFLUENCER!!
