Very interesting subject, would be great to see the original video, and as cool as this all sounds..I do think it is a fake.
One picture in particular caught my eye, this one to be precise:
Looking at it closely, it reminded me of this photo:
In fact, if you look closely at the original and the second photo, you will see that they are one in the same (With much photoshopping) the tree, the turned head of one of the people running..
It has been cropped in closer, so I did that in photoshop to compare:
Then, I worked for about 5 minutes in photoshop adjusting the brightness/contrast and adding in some noise,blur, and brushes.
This is the result:
Now, while it isn't a perfect match, I do believe it is the same photo used in the original. Surely with more time spent on it and other techniques/brushes being used.
All signs point to a hoax, if we just had the video that would answer our questions, but the mere fact that this mysterious video cannot be found..leads me to believe that these are just photoshopped images with a neat story attached. Too bad.
Again, here are the original and my version to compare:

It's just a clip, but looks stupid and fake

I don't think the video has anything to do with the 3 days of darkness prophecy
That is a religious belief m a catholic prophesy I think
You can read about it here

They truly do, I too generally list things such as this as an instant hoax just from reading the title, but those pictures, something about them just gives me a bad feeling. I find them incredibly disturbing, thats for sure.

mind if I ask...how on this earth...you thought to compare those two photos in the first place I mean...wow...
it astounds me that you saw the photo in the OP and said...huh I remember a photo that looked like that once....zing and you find it and not only do you find it...its the exact same pic?!?!?
can you explain the back-story of how you found that image in the first place because to me that is way more astounding than anything else in this thread...
