There's more to the world than you can truly see. You've sensed it, but you cannot tell. Something is very wrong. Strange occurrences, visions affecting us. Are we being watched? I am a truthseeker with many questions. The most important is what is the Niantic Project?

Extra Info

“2 will die” is mentioned by Klue as looks like 2-3-7-1-1 and “die” is “the” in German. Google search on the reversed numbers reveals that the 11732nd verse of the Bible is, “Now from the time that Amaziah did turn away from following Jehovah they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there.” (2 Kings 14:19).
This could be a mention to Amaziah Lachish.

The video description contains
z49b
stogh
6qxp8
Reversing the first and last digraphs (two-character pairs) in each line:
z49b = 4zb9
stogh = tsohg (then reversed = ghost)
6qxp8 = q6x8p
we end up with 4zb9ghostq6x8p.

A previous version of the video description had this
9wg6
investiess (rearranges to “sensitives”)
t8y3w
