Creepy story, could be true. Either way still cool.

I wasn't going to click on any links since this stuff is usually really crappy scares (the "HA, I made the dot really small so they'd get closer to the screen and then BOO!!!"-type thing). I saw how many people responded to your post so thought it might be worth checking out...

How could you do that to me? HOW!?! What did I ever do to you!?! That was pretty damn freaky...

Wait, so he saw what appeared to be a car crash with two people maybe dead maybe wounded in the road. And his reaction is not to get out and help or at least call the authorities? Instead, he keeps driving because 'that always ends badly in horror movies which As You Know mirror real life perfectly and also there's a scary local story'? Because it's a textbook ambush? Because those are really common in roads through the middle of nowhere in America, right?

Am I the only one here that sees something wrong with that? I mean I'm not saying that everyone's obligated to be a hero, but he basically saw a car accident and kept on truckin'. If the story is true, of course...

I could buy that he skipped past if he sensed something wrong but my big question mark is this: If the accident was that squished together that he had to slow down and weave by to make sure he didn't hit anything, the ambush still didn't spring? From the sound of it, he couldn't have been going more than a few miles per hour to avoid squishing a "dead person" or hitting the flipped car (or maybe the "cult" is just really bad at setting traps...)

It sounds like someone had a mildly creepy story to tell but wanted to try to get the extra "Blair Witch Project" hook of it being real.

Nice story, pretty short.

Anyway, for discussion value, I say it's to post some maybe-true but scary stories. Here's a longer one that holds a special place in my heart: http://www.angelfire.com/trek/caver/page1.html

Does it just stop at Page 10? I can't seem to go any further.

EDIT: Damn it a cliff hanger >.>.

He went in and never came back. Seems clear enough. Was a good set up for the next link, too.
Thanks for that, Cr33dl0rd.

Interesting. It's been a while since I've listened to it, or had much to do with RT. How are things going for them?

Quite well i would say. They have quite a large following now through red vs blue/ achievement hunter. And the podcast.

Well I was aware of that. They've had a huge following for ages now. I left off (without meaning to) as they were suddenly getting a lot more employees, about a year ago.

Oh, not that much then. just carrying on and have gained a few more employees

It's a long read but well worth it.

It is a long read and quite good. But most of it seems to be the guy scaring himself :/

That bit at the end? With the rope being pulled despite the two guys not touching it? Fucking scary.

Also, this dates in 2001. His last entry is about his endeavour to go back. Nothing further. Coincidence? Likely. Still fucking scary.

Don't we already have a gigantic scary thread?

Anyway, I am 99.9% certain that story is fake.

I can see where you are coming from, but it just seems a bit long winded to me. Basically its We dug a hole in a cave, heard a few weird things, got scared and ran, and the rope got nicked. I guess i just wanted some sort of payoff IE: SEEING something rather than just a few noises. Or at least some backstory on the cave and why its haunted.

Probably, but still plausible enough
And i didnt mean for the thread to turn into this, i was just sharing the story

 

[Daverson]

Sounds like the Best Prank Ever.

Seriously, I'd bet my left nut it's just a bunch of kids and ketchup. The guys hiding in the long grass were probably filming the whole thing as a practical joke.

And it worked, of course, otherwise we wouldn't be here in this thread, would we? =p

Scary thread? Did someone say scary thread?

Noscript ruined your manga, sir.

That is all.

Yeah, this scared me. It's really well done.

A man should not read such a story after having ecstasy for it is akin to played Dead Space in the dead of night and may cause shitting of the pants.

"I knew I shoulda taken that left turn at Albuquerque!"

 

[Westaway]

I heard that story on the RT podcast yesterday and my reaction was simply this. That phenomenon has a name and has been documented. It's called Hills Have Eyes

Are you talking about the movie, or are you saying other people have seen the same thing before?

Oh dear god.
I am extremely intoxicated, I glanced at that link, scrolled down when I got bored ... and saw that.
My speakers were up really high too.

You have no idea how freaked out I am now

Could be real, but mu bull detector is going off.

Am I the only one here that sees something wrong with that? I mean I'm not saying that everyone's obligated to be a hero, but he basically saw a car accident and kept on truckin'. If the story is true, of course...

To be fair, I've seen people do that sort of thing for worse reasons.

Which has also left me holding the bag, so to speak.

Like I said above, this doesn't smell right to me, but I've seen a lot of people react this way. It's realistic, in the sense that a lot of people do it. It's ridiculous, since the guy telling the story's sole motivation is that it comes off like a horror story, but people do drive by accidents.

Humans can really suck sometimes.

 

[Nuuu]

The story is "kinda" creepy, but not legit.

If it was real life, if you see 2 people face down on the road, you check if they are ok or call the cops, not think "Oh this looks like a horror movie" and drive away. Plus, the author puts too much detail into the story and makes it sound like just that, a story. If he was retelling past events, he most likely use much different words.
