Herobrine
A character that was never in the game. In 2010 an anonymous user posted a Minecraft screenshot of a player figure with no pupils standing in fog, and a story that it was the creator's brother. The rumour outlived every denial: for years players sent in evidence — squares of felled forest, sand pyramids, tunnels nobody built — and the developers eventually took to adding "Removed Herobrine" to their patch notes as a joke, though there was nothing to remove. His code has never existed in any version of the game.
The Backrooms: where the photograph was actually taken
The internet's most famous nowhere turned out to be the second floor of a furniture shop in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The photograph of a yellow corridor under humming strip lights was posted to 4chan on 12 May 2019 in answer to a request for images that felt "a bit off", and the caption underneath it grew into thousands of stories, games and videos about endless empty rooms you fall into by taking a wrong turn. In 2024 internet researchers traced the picture to its source: a 2003 photograph of renovation work on the upper floor of the former Rohner's furniture store, taken for a local hobby shop's website. The building is still standing at 807 Oregon Street, and there is a model shop in it today.
