Since humans are compared to antigens and phenomenon-3 to antibodies, will there be individuals immune to phenomenon-3 in humans? ]]>
The "happy dancing" part of it was just something he thought would add to the horror of it.
]]>Always fun to what a person explode right in front of your face while you're trying to save them.
It's horrifying to image a partygoer holding a person, and have them throw them at you, and then have them explode right on top of you (is it possible to get injured from flying body parts and blood?). ]]>
THANK YOU for your vote and support!
Nah. "Happy Dance" is just a happy little parasite.
Question: If wanderers are infected with "Happy Dance," and get bitten by Partygoers later that day, do they become PartyPoppers?
]]>Also, is this based on the Dancing Plague from the 1500's where everybody would dance until they dropped dead? ]]>
"… Or maybe this disease was brought from the future (or a future) Frontroom, & introduced here by patient 0?"
Happy Dance might be from a reality beyond our universe and linear time, and maybe "Patient Zero" (from someone's future) was abducted, deliberately infected, and released into the present Backrooms. Maybe the ever-increasing population of humans in the Backrooms is upsetting the balance of the multiverse.
]]>The Lost have been in the Backrooms for millennia: why haven't they fallen victim to this? Or maybe this disease was brought from the future (or a future) Frontroom, & introduced here by patient 0?
]]>THANK YOU! I am so very glad that you enjoyed this.
The man from the future is another part of an upcoming and ongoing lore. More to come.
Be well.
]]>"A horrifying Phenomenon with a non-threatening name…"
Every day that I write is "Opposite Day." I adore titles and concepts that are diametrically opposed. In fact, it has become something of a trademark with me.
THANK YOU!
It wouldn't be the Backrooms without readers like you. Until the next…
]]>A horrifying Phenomenon with a non-threatening name - it wouldn't be the Backrooms without additions like these.
Looking forward to seeing what horrors you come up with next,
10/10
THANK YOU for your atute observation and very kind words.
I like opposites… and irony.
This article was a joy to write! Made me do the Happy Dance. =)
]]>Some people see horror but I see tragedy.
]]>+++THANK YOU!!!
Your thoughtful comments made a great birthday present. I turned 71 on March 3rd. Ha! Been a professional author for five decades now and still get excited about reader observations. More on the way. Writing a Phenomenon about no-clipping and a level that will bring dinosaurs into the Backrooms.
It is going to be a wild ride.
]]>I've been thinking for a while now about how the Backrooms is getting filled up with humans and that they're not supposed to be there at all…theory at the bottom echoed this so well, I really like the idea.
Looking forward to future works — !!
]]>THANK YOU for your kind words and observations.
It's great to see the Phenomena category get some love π.
]]>This page raises the horror level of the Backrooms to some extent. Very creative!
]]>The "horror" tag was replaced, as per your suggestion.
I contributed "Happy Dance" only once I was convinced that I had created an absolutely horrifying scenario, without graphic gore or description. I see horror as happening within the reader's imagination. My words just give the reader a nudge. Knowing this, I used the "horror" tag instead of a formal warning.
Your thoughtful and measured response made my day!
]]>Really cool page, Mr. Goerman. Thanks for making the phenomena category more lively! I'll definitely use your article as an inspiration for my own phenomenon entry. Hope you are fine with that! You've once more well earned my +1.
Also, please disregard what the user above said. They have been showing recent suspicious behaviour to be maliciously downvoting recent pages, staff is already aware of it and investigating the case. So I request for you to add the horror tag back, Phenomenon 3 deserves it! And I'm sure almost everyone will agree with me, one just has to look at all the comments of this thread, this is truly a bone-chilling page.
Looking forward to the next one!
]]>THANK YOU for your input. The "horror" tag was utilized to alert readers that might have been sensitive to the article. I removed the horror tag.
]]>This is a very sensitive topic.
Discussions about euthanasia (Frontrooms or Backrooms) are an area that we do not intend to explore here. From a plot point of view, we deal with infected victims by isolating them. THANK YOU so very much for your +1.
]]>"Shivers" are my other specialty.
THANK YOU for the +1.
We keep trying (like all the authors here) to develop interesting new scenarios.
"Happy Dance / EWS" was written in the Entity 123 horror zone.
Just wanted to prove to Lemon A.K.A. Henry that this old man could still concoct a spooky story or two. I believe they turned out as intended.
Looking forward to more from you and the rest of our "gang."
Partygoerman =)
]]>I(if it is okay with you) could easily connect my phenomena to yours, due to this statement:
Wilder theories wonder if someone or something from the future is conducting biological warfare. They speculate, without evidence, that the influx of humans into the Backrooms is "upsetting the balance of the multiverse."
Can we continue this conversation via pm?
By the way, happy (early) birthday!
THANK YOU so very much for the +1.
I will be 71 years old in a few days and have been writing for 5 decades.
"Hooks" are my specialty.

Maybe you will like something else…
]]>THANK YOU, my friend and colleague, for your support!
We truly appreciate it.
]]>I am genuinely sorry for not getting back to you about Phenomenon X: (Radio Waves of the Past). I just got really excited about posting my first Phenomenon!
Funny how an experienced author of many decades can still get excited over his work.
(Radio Waves of the Past) has amazing potential to be the launch platform for many a wonderful tale and plot twist. Is this a parallel reality? Are beings from the future conducting psychological warfare and special ops? Why would intelligent beings from the future think that more humans in the Backrooms = the upset of the balance of the multiverse.
I think Phenomenon 3 is a bit too gruesome for YouTube.
All my best,
Robert
I'm sure your phenomena will make it very far(wonder if Broogli will start covering phenomenas).
Oh yeah, I have a link to some of my finished sandbox drafts here(one of which has been waiting a month for critique for) if you want to take a peek: https://backrooms-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-15684961/just-a-lot-of-drafts#post-5990965 ]]>
Isn't it weird how I get spurts of creativity.
THANK YOU for the upvote, my friend and colleague.
Let's just see where this little phenomenon goes…
]]>THANK YOU for the upvote!
I am glad that you "liked it."
Your existential dread fills me with existential guilt.
]]>You are indeed first.
THANK YOU for the upvote!
]]>THANK YOU for the upvote!
Nothing like a little "Happy Dance" before bursting.
]]>THANK YOU for the upvote.
So glad that I scared you a lot.
]]>THANK YOU for the upvote!
I am so glad that you were not scared.
]]>What body horror? Where? Where?
THANK YOU very much.
]]>I love body horror, so take a +1, please!
(this page genuinely scared me!!!!)
