On January 31st, 2017, a video titled "Freaky 5 - Lost Footage" was uploaded by a YouTuber called NationSquid, featuring five pieces of lost media that are considered creepy or disturbing. The Christine Chubbuck story is at number 1 on the list.
At the end of the video, at 8 minutes and 46 seconds, there appears to be footage of the suicide as it happened. It is in black and white, with distorted audio and video. Since then, many users on YouTube have since re-uploaded the so-called "footage".
There was a wide debate on websites like 4Chan, the NationSquid Forums and even the Lost Media Wiki forums about the authenticity of the so-called "footage" from NationSquid. NationSquid himself never replied to any questions about whether the footage was real or fake, and therefor users on the aforementioned websites came up with theories and analyses in attempts to deliver a verdict on whether the footage was genuine or fabricated.
On February 13th, 2017, the footage seen in NationSquid's video was confirmed fake by Gordon Galbraith, who was the news director of Newswatch program at WXLT-TV (now WWSB-TV) that Christine hosted at the time of her suicide.
