Brazilian TV show elevator prank- Assuming these reactions are for real it’s interesting how easily people just lose it when confronted with unexplainable things -
Bad joke if you ask me.
They are utterly terrified. They’re practically crying, even the men. I wonder if that little supernatural girl has some relevance particular to Brazilian supernatural beliefs we don’t understand.
I don’t think so, and some of the reactions seemed pretty stagy to me. I suspect they were in on it, or at least had an inkling that it was a put-on. Surely you’d be able to tell if you were in a fake elevator that wasn’t actually moving.
The relevance is that little girls where you don’t expect them are creepy. It’s pretty universal, the US, Japan (although there are lots of people with Japanese ancestry in Brazil), etc. See: the Ring.
One of them point at something I hadn’t thought of : if the video were real, someone could have attacked the little girl (I had thought only of people with heart or mental conditions being at risk).
Yeah, either the lawyer culture is more lax, or it’s staged. I imagine at best it was partially staged, like: “you might see scary images in the elevator” without specifics.
The flickering lights were obviously fake - most electric light sources don’t extinguish instantly, they glow for just a bit, especially the (what looked to me like) fluorescent lights in the elevator, so there wouldn’t be on/off/on total black as we saw, and this effect was added later. The subjects, if they weren’t prompted, were reacting to something, but what? The elevator car wouldn’t be shaking or doing anything unusual, the lights were just flickering as if during a brownout. Why start getting nervous or approaching the elevator buttons? Yet some reacted as if the car were lurching about. I vote staged.
Google search on “elevator prank gone wrong” and you’ll see one where a guy kicks the hell out of the little girl.
The attack looks fake to me though.
Right, why did she just lie there, even after they left? But I have to admit, I love the seniors’ reactions, especially the guy who screamed along with them.
I am in possession of one small blue eyed blonde haired child of the female persuasion. When she was 4, she developed a habit of walking quietly down a flight of stairs to my bedroom and standing silently at the end of my bed to watch me sleep.
Fucking terrifying, that was. And I once gave birth to her, so it’s not like she was a stranger.
I don’t know if it’s a cultural lesson or there’s something inherently sinister about silent young girls in unexpected locations, but I screamed more than once upon waking to find her there.
Can’t argue with that. Probably about as fake as the prank in the first place 
As far as lying there - that’s not what triggers my BS meter. I wouldn’t expect a 12 year old girl getting kicked several times by a pretty big muscular bloke to be moving much of anywhere.
It seems to me a recipe for disaster to trigger peoples fight or flight response in a confined space in the first place.
If you’re looking to sell her, that’s what the Marketplace forum is for. Though, as a guest, you can’t. I would also work on your sales pitch. 
Oh, she’s nearly 9 now, so her creepy factor is diminishing each year. So either I sell her now, or my investment will tank. Hmm…decisions, decisions… 
That one’s obviously a parody of the Brazilian show, though. Different elevator, different girl, and the attacking guy says “Go!” in English when leaving the elevator.
