Here's a theory: the souls are previous players that have been killed in the nether and sucked into the block. They reach out and grab your feet so they can be freed, which is the reason they slow you down so mobs can kill you. Every time you walk the souls get flung out of the ground to be freed but what if they aren't freed? What IF they get turned into ghasts? Think about it ghast sounds like ghost. They look like ghosts that are crying because they really wanted to be freed. They harm you because they think your the reason they are trapped. But if you look at the wither his white eyes are soul eyes. He wants to kill you because you made him. The souls can't go free. JUST A THEORY!! Like if you think I made sense.

The guy that kicked you out was the king of souls, I think. So he would trap the dead in the sand. Which is now soul sand, so if you would free them he would get mad. So that's my theory.

I just realized that the souls in the Soul Sand are basically the equivalent to the Will of the Wisps from the movie Brave. The Will of the Wisps are little spirits that guide Merida. But the souls in Soul Sand slow you down and cause you to sink a little, almost like quick sand.

Soul escaps 7:42 EY need more soul but not work 7:58 EY Left up 13:04 Souls escapes to turn soul soil 9:02

If you had Soul Speed Enchantment you could run fast to the soul sands but you could see the souls coming out of the block

7:35 souls starts to escape out of the soul sound like coming out from the shadow realm like how😮😮😮

Anybody else notice that minecraft skins don’t have mouths

Congrats eystreem, you found a new entity.

10:37 “who would want to create an army of withers” Technoblade smiling in the corner* PS: RIP Technoblade

Withers could be a theory of powering it’s self due to when you hit it enough for it to turn into a destructive form for it to have a blue-ish like effect all around the withers’ body, having it to look like it’s harnessing the power of souls to create destructive power when it crushes through blocks. Soul sand was made when tons of souls fuse together to make it into a block. Back in the old versions, the nether was once considered “Hell” Because the words “Nether” meant “under” as in “underworld” and remembered when endermen were added in beta 1.8. They were genders of men but I don’t know how the differ between enderman or soul sand. But then I realized on a Reddit platform, I noticed something that enderman couldn’t escape soul sand, and enderman were once people and was a human kind like Steve himself. It’s like somehow to me enderman and soul sand have a connection with each other, and with that Reddit user and said that enderman couldn’t teleport out of soul sand. And remember you said that once people can sink into soul back when soul was added. I then started thinking of some other theories of when skeleton only spawned in the soul sand valley biome and also

Soul escapes is the subtitle for walking on the soul sand and releasing blue souls while walking.

I think the reason you move slower on soul sand now is because the souls used to be stronger to pull you in and make you one of them but over the years they have gotten older and weaker and now they just slow you down and I think when you have soul speed boots the souls try to hold on but they get pulled out and with this repeatedly happening it becomes soul soil

Soul sand is a a block found naturally only in the nether and ancient cities. Soul sand Usually slows down the movement of mobs and player walking on it. It is also used for growing nether wart, for crafting soul-related blocks, for creating a bubble collumn, and for construction a wither I know it's kinda weird pls correct my grammar tysm.

7:45 that scared me. So in soul sand, there are many souls from the block, not just thousands, but millions and millions of souls

5:56 did you know if you walk on soul sand and walk behind you you see your souls😮

Fact: Soul sand is the SCARIEST BLOCK So far in minecraft

7:04 NOOO😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 BRO THE FACE

Plot twist: he's fishing so deep into the lore of soul sand but then he figures out that the devs just made the block to be in the Netherlands for it to make that sound

"But this is just a theory" ME: "a GAME theory"

Here are some facts😊 Fact 1: ghast cries because they want to be free if you bring ghasts into the over world they don't cry Fact 2: ghast kills you cuz they are WARNING you Fact 3: piglins don't live in the nether Fact 4: the soul sand have souls the dead people the souls are grabbing your feet so that's why your slow Fact 5: the ghast were corrupted by the wither

11:03 WTF is there sand

9:13 How to create a soul soil farm: THIS INSANE MONSTROSITY

I love the shiver I get when I watch these videos

Ive been watching Eystreem for a long time, and it's extremely hard to stop watching him 😀

I personally Think that It is usedvto power up Blazes and ghasts since they are proved as automaton. This could also be an explanation for ghast only being found in soul valleys. As for why wither skeletons are found as powered skellies. I think the when the first builders came to nether they fell victim to soul sand. This would also explain the wither affect given. Meaning they wish to steal your conscience to get outta here.

This dude is a hero. He just saved a bunch of souls trapped inside of a block.

Him finding Souls: Souls being Ethan’s fear and trolling him later:

9:34 Minecraft eystreem jumpscare

FINALLY a myth video! I love these myth videos because you learn stuff about these entitys that you didn't know before. Don't stop with these videos!

"Masked" Is the story of a girl named Isabella, or Izzy, who is experiencing the appearance of a masked figure in her Minecraft world.

How did it take you this long to realize there are faces on soul sand?

Actually if you walk on a normal block like grass then straight onto soul soil you will notice that soul soil still slows you down, just not as much as soul sand

My mind is going straight to: "Time to make folktale stories about how this happened." This is inspiring for some reason.

9:45 "I tried everything to capture the souls and use them" sounds like flowey from undertale

My theory : the ancient builders and players started to explore the nether and they are the players that died and some say the souls are grabbing you that’s what the slowness on soul sand is.

Theory of why soul sand doesn’t fall: the souls might be grabbing onto the block holding it and trying to turn the block into another piece of soul sand…

I respect the fact that he puts his personal info at risk just for us

CC moment 0:57 Sinking 3:12 Souls escape 7:33 Wither skeleton 10:06 Machines break 12:17 Hundreds of souls 12:38 The_MaSKed 12:50 D E A T H 12:53

I think the souls are the amount of players who have died in the nether

Turtles get sucked into soul sand, so it also could be turtle souls

Skeleton torture 10:08

2:18 but this was just a theory. A GAME THEORY!!!

This is why you never step on soul soil in minecraft

Soul Sandman steals all the souls in this place. He’s an entity, kind of an unknown entity to me, but he steals souls.

Just to clarify whats happening, soul sand some times releases a blue soul, making the subtitles say "Soul escapes" but yeah keep doin' what your doin'

Theory:The entity that was trapping souls in soul sand had a reason why and what is it?... the reason why is because the entity is trying to infect the skeletons and eleminate the other nether mobs and the more mobs killed the more souls get in soul soil becoming soul sand so the entity who is doing this is trying to make an army using the soul sand to soon infect the overworld...

The souls chill in the air because they’re are flying with the sand so they are technically souls carrying sand

Eyestreem real likes to say: But why? But who? Why?

8:09 Maybe the sand was pushing the souls out of the soul sand🧐🧐🧐🧐

I love how EY just can’t stop making experiments and theories lol Omg Thank You So Much For The Heart EY I Love Your Vids

Jordan turns on subtitles, appears in the bottom right, "look in the bottom left"

there are many boot enchantments like frost walk and when you kill a ghast it will drop ghast tears bcz when they look at you they mistakly realize your the one who just alook alike like wither bcz of the mouth and eyes but when you die in survival mode in the nether and standing on the soul sand which mean when you die your character soul would be develop right in the soul sand comment-if i dont make sense like-if i make sense

*Meanwhile Mojang asking UKposts to delete this so they aren’t exposed* Edit PLEASE EY PIN ME PLEASEE

At 6:54 eystreem looked so funny

My theory is the_masked is a secret boss who imprisoned the souls in soul sand to make an army of withers to fight for it

Realized;Soul sand was a stolen texture from my favourite game'sadly deleted'called terraria beta fanmade,it was called 'brown soil' in the game

Notice this he has 15 soul sand at 7:50 and when he goes to pick it up he got 16

Saw a name tag if you slow it down 10:57 to 0.25 speed but still god video

Actually here is a theory The souls in the soul sand actually belong’s to the ancient Minecraft builders but half of the crew sadly died.. So they buried the dead bodies in the ground they didn’t know that the body’s soul would create the soul sand that’s how the wither skeleton was created so the ancient builders thought if they get soul sand and wither skeleton together they would bring them back to life but instead of it doing that they accidentally created the wither a monster that killed them some of them escaped but most of them died. The remainders decided to make the strong hold, and decided to play around with magic and made the end portal but they did not know it’s a one-way portal and got stuck in the end and learned to make peace with the dragon and soon had nothing to eat and started eating the chorus fruit and became the enderman now you know 🤓

Your a legend you saved all of the souls from the nether

4:46 Soul soal I can’t 😂😂😂😂 JORDEN DO U NOT KNOW HOW TO SPELL it’s soul soil not soal lol 😂

The reason so many souls (soul effects) came out is because ‘falling sand’ is considered to be an entity. Since you glitched the block inside the soul sand it stayed and keep touching the soul sand like how you would walk on it to get the effect. Edit: Or either Eystreem is using a mod pack.

Eystreme: Builds the most complex red-stone machine to bust horror myths and forgetting to add 1 piece of redstone " I am stupid" 💀 Me after killing a rabbit in minecraft "I am smart" 😭

Skeleton just turned in to an wither skeleton sheesh

3 things I thought about during the video 1. Wardens have souls inside of them 2. What do wither skeletons protect, the blazes 3. What do wither skeletons fight with, piglins do they know something we dont

12:04 so the souls haunt the players until they become a soul

I think that the machine glitch the souls out of the soul sand and then it summoned the soul sand monster

Hey Eystreem. At 10:56, review that footage, at the moment that your sword doens't cover that nametag, you can see a nametag saying "The_MaSKed". Well, he is when at the end, was that soul sand man

Soul Sand Facts: Wait, Over the years the soul sand becomes weaker just like in real life so that means,the soul sand becomes to weak to pull you fully into the ground, Ey,I don't really play Minecraft craft and I figured it out at minute 2 and second 45 2:45

I like how he got a entity without even trying

soul soil is the wave of water 2:05

Soul Sand Turn Into Soul Soil

Fun fact:you can use soulsand for quicksand in 2016

12:50 did someone saw it was a player 😂😂😂

Ey:"Sands are one of the only block that falls" Gravel and anvil: WHAT ABOUT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Eystreem use 10 machines with souls sand

How do you go from 61 torches to 11? When = 7:16

I have another theory on the soul sand. It’s about the soul sand and soul soil, over time what if the souls escape and take possessions of other mobs to make them more sinister. And what it has to do with the soul soil maybe as eystreem said, they escape and then they look like soul soil?

Soul sand can belike the drowning sand💀💀💀💀

*nah im chillin in the air* Got me rollin 😂

3:04 I WAS BORN IN 2016 and in 2019 i started to play the only virsion of minecraft and i was one to sink into a soul and i died ! hour ago when i just commented this irl

@Eystreem Hey, I am a subscriber and was wondering if you could do a video showing the step by step process of creating the machines used to release souls from the soul sand. I wanted to make one myself and try it out.

if there are many souls in soul sand that explains how the wither has so much power

Hey Eystreem, I think if the souls escape, they would spawn mobs to take control of.

9:20 wow one of my theories were correct!

Videos like these remind me of the old scary survival episodes 🙃

The reason for the faces on the soul sand are previous times someone or something has died in the nether and their soul and would get trapped in a block on one face and emotion fear if you die it frees the previous dead mob never a human tho to revive your soul stays there and the only thing you feel in the nether back there is fear (DISCLAMER:NOT ATUAL REASON ITS A THEORY!)

that myth at the end must have been the one trapping souls all along

Oh another new video! Eystreem I love your videos especially the myths and tips and tricks and all of that stuff!🥳

Let’s just appreciate how much efforts he puts into his videos ❤

Soul sand repels gravity by souls going up to be released from the block

The souls of the ancient bullies trapped in enderman

You forget there was a torch under u at 9:40

Imagine seeing the world where all these souls were alive in physical bodies.

this is literally one of the best videos i have seen of eystream❤

About the soul sand you give me a new knowledge

What if when you walk on the soul sand, the souls try to pull you down but their strength deteriorates as they are doing it, causing them to only pull slightly? Plus when you use enchantments to run faster while running you see the souls try to grab you so I've got some ideas 🤔

10:15 so soul sand is used to make wither skeletons the players die in the nether and they become a skeleton and this machine turns the skeletons into withered skeletons

Those souls were like coming out of nowhere
