Shadowing Practice: I Tested CREEPY Brookhaven Myths.. - Learn English Speaking with Video
Les maken...
1
Brookhaven might look like one of the most normal games on Roblox, but apparently, it's hiding some seriously creepy secrets.
2
There are myths about hidden rooms, disturbing locations, and things that supposedly only happen if you do very specific steps.
3
And honestly, some of these sound completely fake.
4
So today, I'm testing the creepiest Brookhaven myths I could find to see which ones are actually real, because apparently, there are things in this game we were never supposed to find.
5
So let's take a look at this first one.
6
New power plant secret in Brookhaven.
7
New power plant secret.
8
Go to the police station.
9
Walk to the second cell.
10
Jump into the vent.
11
Walk through the wall.
12
Take the blue card.
13
Teleport to the nuclear plant.
14
Run to the bunker.
15
Open the bunker door.
16
Oh, I've been there before.
17
Run to the light switch.
18
Go through the wall next to it.
19
Jump down.
20
There's a hidden room in the bunker?
21
Now use the blue card to open this secret door.
22
No way.
23
Is this the agency hideout?
24
Wait, hold on.
25
There's a whole entire secret room inside of the nuclear power plant bunker.
26
All right, I gotta figure out if this is real or not.
27
All right, let's go into Brookhaven and...
28
Oh, hold on.
29
I gotta wait for the spinning animation.
30
Okay, once we're in Brookhaven, we go ahead and we go to the police station.
31
That's step one.
32
Then inside the police station, we go to the holding cells and we go to cell number two.
33
Once we open cell number two, we go up to this bed, jump into the vent, and there should be a blue shelf somewhere,
34
but I think it's inside the wall.
35
So let me walk across this wall till I can find the shelf, which should be back here somewhere.
36
All right, let me see.
37
If I walk along this wall, oh, we just went through the wall.
38
It's like right over here.
39
Oh, I just lost it.
40
Oh, there, perfect.
41
Now that we're inside the wall, there's a little corridor and boom, we are now in the room with the shelf.
42
but also there's a picture of somebody.
43
It's like a special agent looking guy.
44
The agency thing is kind of adding up.
45
But if we go over to the shelf, we can find the blue key card.
46
So, so far, this short is true, but it doesn't end there because next we need to go to the nuclear power plant.
47
So let's steal a police motorcycle, which is totally legal.
48
Don't do this in your life because you'll get arrested and go to jail.
49
But let's drive this police car all the way over to the power plant.
50
Once I'm here, we can go inside and go all the way back towards the bunker, which is right there.
51
Now, like I said earlier, I've been in this bunker before.
52
But to my knowledge, the bunker kind of just ends after a little bit.
53
It's like right over here.
54
There's a ladder here.
55
And then if we keep going this way, there's another ladder over here but apparently there is a light switch to this place
56
which should be right here so this is the light switch
57
and look if i turn off the light switch you can find a little area
58
that we can walk through oh my goodness okay hold on
59
let me turn the lights back on it's kind of dark all right well now there's a secret room
60
so everything is adding up and
61
if we jump down here we can now access this room because we have the blue key card.
62
Oh my goodness.
63
We are literally inside of a secret agent room.
64
Look, it's real.
65
There's servers and everything, but hold on.
66
There's something that the short didn't cover.
67
It says offline, enter boot code.
68
Am I able to do that?
69
What?
70
Wait, I can't.
71
All I can do is hit use computer.
72
That's insane.
73
There's literally a whole entire secret agent bunker inside of the nuclear power plant's bunker.
74
So I guess this first myth is real.
75
Let me look at the comments to see if they know the boot code.
76
I'm scrolling through the comments, but there's nothing about using a boot code besides this comment right here that says,
77
I think they're going to add an emergency shutdown code to save the power plant in case of a meltdown.
78
That's all we know about the code, but this short and this myth is confirmed to be true.
79
But let's take a look at the next myth that involves a creepy doll.
80
All right.
81
Creepy things in Brookhaven RP.
82
Creepy things in Brookhaven RP.
83
Let's go to this house.
84
Apache Street.
85
At Apache Street.
86
Go inside.
87
Go inside.
88
Go here.
89
Back here.
90
Okay.
91
Equip the binoculars.
92
To see the handwritten note in this kitchen.
93
Cabinet.
94
We must use these binoculars.
95
What is wrong with?
96
Medicine and the agency.
97
We then proceed to the fire station.
98
Where there is also something there about Madison
99
Rated number one fire company in Madison County last we're heading to Lake Madison where something is secreted Wait, what's over here?
100
Lake Madison Now that we are at Lake Madison Go to the bathroom Oh my gosh
101
What do you suppose the purpose of this is?
102
There's no way that this one is real this okay?
103
Honestly this doll kind of looks edited in because as you can see It kind of just cuts to a still image, but that is what I'm here for.
104
I'm here to test to see if this is true
105
So first things first let's respawn
106
and let's go all the way to the house over at The Apache Street place
107
and in order to get there faster I have my trusty wheelchair, but I think the house is is somewhere over here.
108
I don't know if I'm supposed to buy it or not because I've never seen this house before.
109
I think it's this one though, right?
110
Wait, no, because this isn't Apache Street.
111
Okay, hold on.
112
We're getting out of my trusty wheelchair and we're taking this horse because I think it'll be faster.
113
Oh, bro, I have to buy it.
114
Are we serious?
115
Okay, take my Robux, Brookhaven.
116
I want to see if this creepy doll is real.
117
Okay, let's see the Apache house.
118
Is it this one?
119
No, it's not that one because you have to buy a house.
120
Oh, wait, hold on.
121
There's a house right over there.
122
I think this is it.
123
Yes, it is.
124
Apache Street.
125
It's right here.
126
Wait, it's right there.
127
Wait, no, no, no. A fortune is going to be right there.
128
Okay, let's exit our horse.
129
Let's go inside and there is a note.
130
Okay, so everything is adding up so far, but in order to look at the note, we need the binoculars.
131
Let me zoom in with the binoculars.
132
Okay, and let's read this.
133
Madison, apologized for leaving, but was necessary to prevent the agency from harnessing the full power of the crystal.
134
They will have to experiment now, so red driver has been enacted.
135
Avoid the agency at all costs.
136
Bro, there's a lot of secrets about an agency in this game.
137
It's kind of weird.
138
But now that we've found that, we have to go to the fire station next.
139
All right, so let's go to the fire station, which is all the way down here, I believe.
140
Yes, it's right here.
141
And inside the fire station, we should be able to find something that says this rated number one fire company in Madison County.
142
So that is referencing Madison, I'm assuming.
143
So maybe Madison County is named after somebody named Madison, which is what
144
that note is talking about because there's even more things
145
that involve Madison because
146
if we go all the way to the top up here to the subway station
147
and we take the subway to Lake Madison
148
which is this icon right here and then
149
if we go outside the subway station
150
and go to the house over here we can find
151
that creepy doll which I'm not exactly sure is real
152
or not but I guess we're gonna find out
153
so inside this house we go over up into the roof boom this is the roof i've been here before
154
and i've hid here in like a brookhaven hide and seek video
155
but right here's the creepy doll oh what is this you okay well the creepy doll is real clearly
156
but what is this for like why would they need a
157
creepy doll in this game is there any notes on this thing um nope it just kind of looks really creepy.
158
It has no eyes.
159
All right.
160
Well, that myth is true, but I'm not sure what the full story of Madison is.
161
Maybe we'll find out in another myth later on.
162
Let's move on to the next myth, which involves a scary clown at 3 a.m.
163
New scary place in Brookhaven.
164
First, find a vacant home.
165
Pick the colorful, not scary house.
166
Now name it party house.
167
Then just go in.
168
lock the doors and close the blinds.
169
Go to the kitchen.
170
Wash your dirty hands.
171
And now just wait until exactly 3 a.m.
172
Once we wait till 3 a.m.
173
Then write this command at 3 a.m.
174
If done right, the roof is now open.
175
What?
176
Yo, there's a scary clown.
177
Okay, hold on.
178
That is creepy.
179
If an NPC that spawns in the house can just run at you like that, that is really terrifying.
180
Well, let's go ahead and go into a public Brookhaven server so that we can test this out.
181
All right, so what I have to do is first wait for the spinning animation to finish.
182
Don't know why they still have that.
183
But now that I'm in the game, I need to find a vacant house.
184
Okay, let's see.
185
Oh, there's a house right here.
186
Perfect.
187
Okay, so let's grab this house and let's grab the colorful, not scary playhouse.
188
Boom.
189
And now that we have that, we have to rename it playhouse.
190
How do we do that? house settings house sign party house right okay party house now
191
that i've named it that we go inside we lock the door
192
and then we close the blinds boom
193
and then the next step is to wash our dirty hands
194
until 3 a.m all right um i'm in a public server
195
and it's 9 30 a.m in this public server
196
so i'm not gonna lie i'm not waiting till 3 a.m but if we do a command called roof glitch
197
We should be able To go inside the roof.
198
Oh my gosh.
199
This is this is the roof.
200
Oh shoot.
201
I made it but There's no clown in here
202
and i'm not gonna lie Even if I wait till 3 a.m I don't think
203
that a clown is gonna spawn in here because um
204
that just that that looked like a real player But I wanted to test to see if it was real.
205
There are cockroach traps.
206
Oh wait.
207
No, these are Havenly chocolate.
208
I completely read that wrong, but there are chocolate bars up here, but there's no clown Um, I'm assuming I didn't need to do the command roof glitch either because I was able to make it up here.
209
This thing is open Well, uh, everything is true except for the scary clown So I guess this myth is false,
210
but there still are other creepy Brookhaven myths we gotta test
211
So let's take a look at those I found Brookhaven's scariest secret. Did you?
212
First come to the barn area Okay
213
Now come over to this fence and wait until it's 7 a.m Next equip your shovel and keep digging what?
214
Here you'll dig up a weird key card from the ground.
215
Now run to the agency base and place the card in the card machine.
216
Here your card should be accepted.
217
I found Brookhaven- And then what happens?
218
What?
219
Okay, hold on a second.
220
So, if I go to the barn, I'm not waiting till 7am to dig it.
221
There's no way I have to do that.
222
Unless that is the only way to dig up that keycard, then that kind of sucks
223
and I have to wait a whole 50 million hours in this game this game
224
but let's go to the barn first and let's see
225
if we can find that fence post
226
that we have to dig nearby okay perfect we made it to the barn
227
and if we go inside
228
and go out over here to this fence post we can find this this dirt spot
229
so next we need to use a shovel to dig up
230
whatever is down here wait maybe i don't have to wait
231
till 7 a.m to dig am i gonna find something what's down here Come on.
232
Come on.
233
Give me something.
234
Give me something.
235
Oh my dirt's disappearing.
236
Okay.
237
Hold on a second I don't think I dug in the right spot.
238
No, I didn't.
239
Okay.
240
It's like right here There should be a key card down here though.
241
That's what i'm looking for trying to dig as deep as possible
242
But it doesn't look like i'm getting any sort of key card dude.
243
Where is this key card?
244
Let me try walking over the hole What there's no key card.
245
Okay.
246
Let me search through the comments to make sure this is real It says it really does work y'all.
247
I tried it.
248
Y'all just gotta dig about 15 times and you will get it Go to the secret base.
249
Then there you go.
250
Okay, so I guess I just gotta dig 15 times Okay, one two three four five.
251
Oh my gosh six Seven Eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen what?
252
I get it.
253
I didn't get it, dude.
254
How do I get this thing?
255
Let me try going to a private server All right.
256
I joined up on a private server I went back to the barn
257
and then I started digging around 7 a.m Just like the short said to all right, i'm digging at 7 a.m I'm, just gonna keep digging because i'm at the spot
258
that it's said to be at not getting anything though There's gotta be a key card.
259
Okay, let's try in this spot instead because this is a little bit more centered on to the
260
Dirt part we're supposed to dig.
261
Maybe this will give us a key card Okay, I've been digging.
262
It's now 8 a.m in the game.
263
Let me try free camming to see if there's like anything inside this like little wooden part.
264
Okay, it doesn't look like there's like anything in the wooden part.
265
I think free cam would show me if there's like a key card or something.
266
Like I'm literally right next to the wooden thing or the dirt part that I'm supposed to dig up.
267
Yeah, I'm literally inside of the dirt thing and there's nothing here.
268
So maybe this like got removed from the game.
269
But what I am gonna do is I'm gonna go to
270
that secret agency base because I know exactly where it is
271
And i'm gonna try and see if there is an area for the key card to get accepted All right, so the agency base is like right over here by the gas station
272
And all the way back here is where the key card would need to go
273
But I don't have the key card in order for it to get accepted All right.
274
Well clearly I don't really know if that myth is true
275
or not Let me know if you guys test that yourselves
276
and are able to find that key card And if
277
that myth ends up being true or not because I think
278
if you can unlock that area inside that agency base with the keycard It could probably lead to some more secrets,
279
but let's move on to the next myth which involves the Brookhaven train No,
280
no, I can't A sleeping bag.
281
Okay.
282
And then what?
283
Okay, um...
284
Well, I'm gonna go down to the train.
285
I'm gonna get on the train.
286
Then I'm gonna shrink myself, which I can do by decreasing my avatar size.
287
If I go over here and I place down a sleeping bag, boom.
288
Oh, shoot.
289
Now I'm outside the train.
290
Nice.
291
And yeah, as you can see, the metro is moving.
292
But if you go to this corner, you can clearly see it's not moving.
293
How is that possible?
294
Oh, it's so scary.
295
It's just how the developers code the game.
296
Like, it was not really a secret.
297
I mean, I feel like that was already known.
298
You know what I mean?
299
But hey, if you didn't know, it doesn't actually move.
300
It's just how they go to the game. So spooky.
301
Anyways, let's take a look at this next myth Do you already know about this creepy Brookhaven secret?
302
What is it?
303
Open a house.
304
Pick that house.
305
Pick the card.
306
Now go to the elevator.
307
Use the card to get to the basement.
308
Run to the back corner.
309
Who the heck was that?
310
There is this note.
311
Now get back.
312
Go to the stage panel.
313
Who was that?
314
Who is that? and the scene.
315
Yo, hold on.
316
Who the frick is that?
317
Why is there just a dude there?
318
Change the background and the scene.
319
It should look like this.
320
Now repeat my steps.
321
Click this button.
322
Okay.
323
All right.
324
Hold up.
325
Hold up.
326
I got to pause this because that's a lot of information.
327
Okay.
328
So if we go and find a house, let's just go to vacant number one.
329
We then scroll to the studio house, which is this one.
330
And then we don't fall into the map by accident.
331
Let's go back to my house.
332
All right.
333
If I go inside the studio and we go to this last room and we grab this red key card, we then can use this key card to go down to the basement.
334
Hopefully there's not a creepy guy down there.
335
I would not like that.
336
Please don't tell me there's somebody there.
337
Okay.
338
There's no one down here.
339
Oh, there's a safe though.
340
What is this?
341
Oh, there's money.
342
Well, that's not the secret.
343
Um, the secret is actually back here and it says activate chambers sci-fi experiment awaiting calibration xoxoxox What's in here?
344
Um, okay, I guess we'll find out what's in there later But if we go back up and change the scenery, it'll turn it into like some high-tech sci-fi area
345
And then we have to repeat the steps of the short
346
Which is why I paused it because there's a lot of steps
347
and i'm a slow person who needs to take in my information Very slowly we change it to this sci-fi thing.
348
All right, boom There we go.
349
Now that we have this, we repeat the steps.
350
Okay.
351
The second in the middle on each side.
352
Oh, and it activates something.
353
All right.
354
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
355
Before I go to the first door, click this button and this button.
356
Oh, it's working.
357
Oh my gosh.
358
Go to the first door.
359
Grab the axe.
360
Break the mirror.
361
Break the mirror.
362
Oh, there's a note.
363
Oh my gosh.
364
Okay.
365
First door, grab the axe and break the mirror.
366
Okay, come on.
367
Boom. Did it.
368
There's a note.
369
My dear, I hope this reaches you.
370
The agency continues to grow and I fear that soon all will join their ranks.
371
Madison.
372
Another Madison note about the agency.
373
But there is a blue key card.
374
I hope this reaches you.
375
The agency.
376
The last card.
377
Go back to the basement.
378
But wait, like and follow before the timer runs out.
379
All right, bro.
380
I'm not doing all that.
381
Okay, so if I go back to the basement, we can now open that door that was locked because there's a blue key card that we needed.
382
All right, let's go.
383
Oh my gosh, this is insane.
384
All right, we go back here and we open this door.
385
You don't need to like and subscribe to open the door, but it would be nice.
386
Anyways, let's go inside and what the freak?
387
We have a whole surveillance room.
388
Is this like the agency or something?
389
Unlock the door.
390
Okay, let's see.
391
We made it into the room.
392
Okay, so that's the end of that short.
393
But what is in here?
394
Follow honestly do not leave money is nothing if we click this button.
395
Oh, what'd I do signal verification needed what?
396
Is there any comments on this?
397
I tried this and I was opening the door until I saw some creepy black guy and I screamed Ah, why are they scared of that person?
398
That's not very nice.
399
All right.
400
Well, everybody's just scared of the random guy That's inside of this area
401
But I do want to see if there's anything else in this room
402
because I mean I don't think I can verify the signal but this is another agency myth that is true.
403
So there's something going on in this game with the agency, which is kind of odd.
404
There's another card.
405
What?
406
I mean, it's the same card that activates the elevator, so I'm assuming it's nothing, but that is insane.
407
There's a lot of stuff with this agency, and it's kind of creeping me out.
408
I don't like this.
409
Let's move on to the next myth.
410
All right, here we go.
411
Scary Brookhaven secrets you didn't know.
412
All right, what did I not know?
413
Scooter.
414
Now drive your scooter to the graveyard.
415
Now jump into this graveyard, then turn around.
416
There is a secret pathway to a house.
417
What?
418
Ah!
419
Alright, bro.
420
Are we serious?
421
There was no need to jump scare me.
422
There better not be a jump scare in Roblox, because that would actually not be very nice.
423
I think that was just an edited in one, but still, whoever you are, you're evil, and I hope a monster haunts you at night.
424
Like, why do we have to jump scare, bro?
425
Like, I'm just trying to figure out a Brookhaven myth, and then all of a sudden, there's a jump scare.
426
Like, seriously?
427

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
