Each case should feel strange, mysterious, or cinematic—yet remain relatively under-reported and not widely covered on YouTube. For every case, include: Brief Summary: What happened. Viewer Hook: Why this story is compelling and emotionally gripping. Suggested Story Arc: (Cold open → Timeline → Twists → Psychological/Community layer → Theories → Aftermath). Priorities: Focus on obscure or lesser-known events with strong cinematic/narrative potential. Avoid overexposed or heavily covered stories. Style should align with Fern-like storytelling: deeply researched, emotionally intense, and suited for visual recreation (3D, animation, narration). ✅ Prompt 2 Write a Fern-style YouTube documentary script in a cinematic, investigative, and suspenseful tone, narrated like a true-crime thriller. Keep sentences short and punchy, with rich atmospheric detail (shadows, sounds, weather, light). Maintain tension through micro-cliffhangers, open loops, and occasional direct address to the viewer. Ensure historical accuracy, but acknowledge uncertainties if multiple accounts exist. Structure the script into five parts: Cold Open → Setup & Atmosphere → Inciting Incident → Escalation → Key Discovery. ✨Disclaimer:✨ This video is for educational purposes only and includes AI-generated avatars and AI voiceovers.
