In the early hours of a February morning in 2025, a user named NullPointerException posted a thread on the obscure imageboard soyjak.blog. The title read: "HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?" Attached was a grainy, black-and-white image of a distorted "soyjak" meme—a face stretched into an unnatural grin, eyes hollow, with faint static buzzing at the edges of the frame. The caption below hissed: "He watches through the static."
At first, the regulars dismissed it as another low-effort troll. But by midnight, replies began flooding in. Users reported strange occurrences: their screens flickering to the image during sleep, whispers in dead air during voice chats, and a lingering sense of being observed. One 'teen claimed the face appeared in their bathroom mirror, its grin widening until the glass cracked.
The thread gained notoriety as NullPointerException updated it daily with cryptic logs. On February 15th, it uploaded a ZIP file titled "static_archive.7z", containing 1,000 near-identical images of the soyjak, each slightly more distorted than the last. Those who extracted the file swore their devices began malfunctioning—keyboards typing autonomously, browsers redirecting to a blank page with the text "HE IS HERE".
Moderators attempted to delete the thread, but it reappeared minutes later, now pinned. The admin account Doll posted a rare warning:
In December 2025, a user uploaded a video titled "final_message.mov". The footage showed a dimly lit room, a computer screen displaying soyjak.blog. The camera panned to a figure standing in the corner—a humanoid shape with the soyjak’s face, its mouth unhinged like a broken marionette. The audio hissed: "Join us in the static." The video ended with the IP address of a server farm in rural Alaska, later found abandoned, its walls scorched with the same distorted grin.
Rumors persist that accessing soyjak.blog after midnight triggers a direct download of "static_archive.7z", even on disconnected devices.

By late 2025, users began vanishing. a frequent poster, livestreamed himself burning his laptop, screaming, "It’s in the wires! It’s in the—" before the feed cut to static. His last post read: "I see him in my dreams. He’s not smiling anymore." Soyteens noted a pattern: victims always mentioned a "shadow" lingering at the edge of their vision, accompanied by a faint buzzing noise.In December 2025, a user uploaded a video titled "final_message.mov".

As of January 2026, the thread remains active. New posts appear hourly, authored by deleted accounts or usernames belonging to long-missing users. The latest image, uploaded yesterday, shows a family photo from 1992—the soyjak’s face superimposed over a child’s. The caption reads: "We were always here."Rumors persist that accessing soyjak.blog after midnight triggers a direct download of "static_archive.7z", even on disconnected devices.
