Shafou.com

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 displayed a close-up image of Regan MacNeil from 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 reason, 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", 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.

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. 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 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".,

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.". The site was presently defunct.

March 2023 - Present
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. 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. It’s just a CT scan. It’s all caused by air pollution. Unfortunately, ordinary people think it’s smog. In fact, the air pollution is too serious. And those doctors 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''". The website is currently in this state.
