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.

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

Anybody else notice that minecraft skins don’t have mouths

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

7:04 NOOO😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 BRO THE FACE

Congrats eystreem, you found a new entity.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

3:30 should've waited (LOL)

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 hay that's just a Game theory. I miss you, Matpat❤❤

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

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

11:03 WTF is there sand

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

Block glitch 7:36 Soul escape 7:42 Become soul 9:04 skeleton 10:15

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Frozen party be awarded cuz you wouldn't have show in time and what else have shows in it show sends

Here’s a person that can tell us how scary soul sand is

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.

New theory: Maybe the mobs that died their souls got into the soul sand . Question:how did the mobs from the nether get to the nether?

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

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

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

**Talks about gravity** "Gravel has left the chat"

I love the shiver I get when I watch these videos

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.

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

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

I like when the soulsand turned that skelly into a witherskelly

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'

He is busting scary myths so we don’t have to! Love this guy already 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤

THAT SOULL ESCAPE GAVE ME A HUUUUGGGEEE JUMPSCARE

Another thing that soul soil could be soul sand that had no souls? That might be why they didn’t have the same faces!

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

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

Sand:ahhh help I'm falling! Soul sand:I can't fall I can't help so that's a no

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

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

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

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

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

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

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...

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

Maybe the skeleton has been hypnotized by the souls.

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

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

My theory: the nether is actually hell and the face on soul sand represents souls of singers in he'll.

soul soil is the wave of water 2:05

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

Skeleton torture 10:08

3:35 we could have made a secreat base with soul sand pulling me down

6:09 anvils: are we a joke to you?

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 🤔

There is definitely something very dark there where Mojang doesn't want to explain

I think soul sand was sand ,but maybe souls of the dead entered the sand.

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

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

Fun fact:you can use soulsand for quicksand in 2016

When you say „soul”, I see the Five nights at freddys soul in front of myself

11:25 a theory, withered skeleton wouldn't take damage in fire but they are afraid of fire. That is probbly caused by the "someone"(The_Masks) made a mechine that forced the skeletons to turn into taller withered versions of them selfs. But they still have some memmory of before which is scard of fire, also the withered skeletons in earlier versions of minecraft had a bow which belongs to a skeleton that also supports this theory

9:20 wow one of my theories were correct!

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

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.

The soldier trying to escape, so that’s why it’s floating

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?

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

Skeleton just turned in to an wither skeleton sheesh

U forgot to put the sand in 12:30 cant Fool me

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

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…

If you are windy things, try pull the wires off all of them

Dear ItsEyestream you got hacked by [soulsand]: Soulsand was not a player it was a block made in 2016 It could drown you like quicksand But this player was no longer in Minecraft anymore, it is banned into the Minecraft 2023 11th March of 12:20

This is amazingly edited!! So good💚💚💚💚💚

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

i found out that there are 1000,00000000000000,100,1 souls in a soul sand block. thanks for saving all those soul's
