'''Shafou.com''' was a Chinese [[screamer]] [[website]] that was registered on November 11, 2015. This website is most likely a mirror of [[Killerjo.net]].

==Content==
Once opened, the website would first display blue text reading "[[The Maze]]" before quickly changing to a picture of [[Regan MacNeil]] from ''[[Wikipedia:The Exorcist|The Exorcist]]'', accompanied by three amplified screams from [[The Maze]] which would repeat every few seconds. The file used to display these contents was named "kjkj.swf," which is identical to the one used in [[Killerjo.net]]. Because of this, the website is considered to be a mirror of '''Killerjo.net'''.

The website has the meta keyword "突然打开的吓人尖叫网站,整人的吓人网站", which (poorly) translates to: "A scary screaming website that opens suddenly, and tricks people" revealing its purpose. Similarly, the title of the webpage is "吓人的网站" which translates to "Scary website." The creator of this website was revealed to be "snsunzhen",<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20111001134130/http://www.shafou.com/ The Archive] of him linking his Facebook Account. (October 1st, 2011)</ref> due to his actual Facebook account being linked above the screamer.

Furthermore, it is said that clicking the picture shares the website on the user's Facebook account, unless the user is signed in to Facebook, it will lead to the login page instead. The website uses obfuscated Base64 code, making it difficult to determine that it is a [[screamer]].

==History==
=== November 5th, 2009 - 2011 ===
In November 2009, the website's content included numerous download links and a search bar. This is the original state of the shafou.com domain. Sometime later in June 2010, the website was replaced with the screamer. There was also a link to a different website at the bottom of the page: Shafou.net - a blog displaying pictures of a girl and Chinese text. Here you can find a snapshot from February 10, 2016.<ref>'''web.archive.org/web/20160210223453/shafou.net/'''</ref> Currently, this link serves as a redirect to Shafou.com.

Later, on May 5, the website updated with a link above the screamer that led the user to a blog that was written by the creator himself, stating that someone asked him to purchase the domain (among other things). After that, on October 1, the website again updated and now directed the user to a Facebook link to the creator's account, as mentioned earlier. On March 2012, the website had a link to [https://web.archive.org/web/20120413105733/http://www.tmdchina.net/ TMDChina.net], where the creator posted several blogs. Right next to the TMD link, there was a hyperlink that redirected to an Oranum chat. The blog website then moved to "blog.tmdchina.com".,<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20120310085712/http://www.shafou.com/</ref>

=== 2013 - October 2019 ===
In 2013, the same content of the website remained, but the link to the blog was removed. The file interestingly later changed to "s.swf", and the title changed to "SHAFOU" which rapidly switched from capital to lowercase. On February 2016, the website link to the creator's blog was added again. Later on, the website was replaced and turned into a redirect to [[Herobrine.com]], presumably made by the same creator. However, the next year, the website reverted to the same content, but with a picture of Regan MacNeil instead of a .swf file. A link to Herobrine.com was added above. Herobrine.com at the time was a blog website, and the "Home" link redirected to Shafou.com, revealing that the author of Shafou.com and Herobrine.com are most likely the same person. After some time, the link to Herobrine.com was removed, and both of them later changed to have the same content after 2 years.

=== October 2019 - March 2023 ===
In October 2019, the website was replaced entirely with a note: "你访问的这个网站域名正在以9.9万元的价格出售中，交易方式为阿里云带价PUSH，如买请联系 13225271551 不买不要联系", which translates to: "''The domain name of the website you are visiting is being sold at a price of 99,000 yuan. The transaction method is PUSH with Alibaba Cloud price. If you want to buy it, please contact 13225271551. Don’t contact if you don’t want to buy it.''".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190924001311/http://www.shafou.com/ A note] from the creator of Shafou.com, stating about the site has been sold for 99,000 yuan.</ref> The site was presently defunct.

=== March 2023 - Present ===
[[File:AirPollution.jpg|250px|thumb|right|The image featured on the page.]]
In March 2023, the content was replaced again with an image at the top of the page titled "2023.jpg" and a different note that says: "国内空气污染带来的危害堪比新冠病毒：国内空气中的细微颗粒吸入肺里呼不出来，会造成肺通气性变差喘不上气必须大口吸气才行，还会造成偏左边的胸口阵疼形成心肌炎，还有很多人都有肺结节只是没做ct查而已，这都是空气污染造成的，可惜老百姓愚痴认为那是雾，其实是空气污染太严重了，还有那些医生不知是真愚痴还是知道这些不敢说，我看到这些忍心不下去我心痛每天都活在抑郁之中", which translates to: "''The harm caused by domestic air pollution is comparable to the new coronavirus: the fine particles in the domestic air are inhaled into the lungs and cannot be exhaled, which will cause poor ventilation of the lungs and make it difficult to breathe. It seems that the oxygen has not been absorbed by the body, and it will also cause a stabbing pain in the left side of the chest. Each time it hurts for a few seconds, it can hurt many times. If this happens for a long time, the heart will become diseased and cause heart failure. Many people have lung nodules, but they are not having a CT scan to find out. It’s all caused by air pollution. Unfortunately, ordinary people think it’s smog. In fact, the air pollution is too serious. And for those doctors, I don’t know if they are really stupid or they know this and dare not say it. I can’t bear to see it. My heart aches and I live in depression every day''".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20230320071954/http://www.shafou.com/ Another note] from the creator of the site, talking about domestic air pollution in their country.</ref> The website is currently in this state.

'''Herobrine.com''' was a [[screamer]] [[webpage]] with a misleading domain name that tricked the user into thinking the website was about the [[Herobrine]] urban legend. The website is specifically a mirror of [[Shafou.com]] and contained an animated file of [[Regan MacNeil]] from [[Wikipedia:The Exorcist(film)|The Exorcist]], while the same scream from [[The Maze]] plays. The creator was revealed to be ''snsunzhen'', the same creator of Shafou.com.
==History==
[[File:Herobrinescreenshot.png|thumb|250px|The chinese blog (circa December 2014).]]
The earliest archive state shows GoDaddy's parked site in late 2012. In March 2014, the site changes to a blog created by a chinese user, stating about his experience on his first job.<ref>web.archive.org/web/20140327063416/herobrine.com - March 2014 Archive</ref> In December 2014, the website changed into another blog which contained a text stating "''Hi, I am Chinese, Born in 1989, Male. I want to go to the US Travel, But My Tourist Visa(B2) Did Not Pass, Who can help me?''".<ref>web.archive.org/web/20141219231600/herobrine.com</ref>

However, someone else bought the website domain and turned it into a screamer by adding a redirect to Shafou.com, leaving people who visited the website in shock. In 2017, the website used the image of Regan instead of using the .swf file. In November 2019, the screamer was removed and the content of the page was replaced with: "''This domain for sale 1 Bitcoin Email: 474840521@qq.com''". This was until May 2020, the domain, along with Shafou.com, was acquired again and simply showed a photo titled: "1.jpg", showing a picture of a QR Code from Alipay, which is a Chinese third party online and mobile payment platform.

[[File:AirPollution.jpg|250px|thumb|right|The image featured on the page.]]
In March 2023, the content was replaced again with an image at the top of the page titled "2023.jpg" and a different note that says: "国内空气污染带来的危害堪比新冠病毒：国内空气中的细微颗粒吸入肺里呼不出来，会造成肺通气性变差喘不上气必须大口吸气才行，还会造成偏左边的胸口阵疼形成心肌炎，还有很多人都有肺结节只是没做ct查而已，这都是空气污染造成的，可惜老百姓愚痴认为那是雾，其实是空气污染太严重了，还有那些医生不知是真愚痴还是知道这些不敢说，我看到这些忍心不下去我心痛每天都活在抑郁之中", which translates to: "''The harm caused by domestic air pollution is comparable to the new crown virus: the fine particles in the domestic air are inhaled into the lungs and cannot be exhaled, which will cause poor ventilation of the lungs and make it difficult to breathe.

==Variant==
The website also had a variant called "Herobrine.96.it", which was hosted by an Italian user. This site presented the same content as the original site. However, a script was provided to lock the .mp3 sound file at 50%. There was a title that stated "''ORA MORIRAI''" which translates to "''NOW YOU WILL DIE''".
