The scary thread

[Tomas Krystinik]

Why wont this thread die, I don't want to see but I keep reading, why must I keep reading?

This thread won't die because the unknown, the obscure, the bizarre, the horrific, the things that we don't want to understand call out to us, tugging at some primal string within us and luring us deeper and deeper into a tunnel that only goes one way.
And as for you, as to why you keep coming back, why you beg for it to stop and yet silently beg for more, you are no different. You too are drawn to the flame the way a moth is, and when the fires burn you, you hug them ever closer. It is nature to fear the unknown, but it is also nature to love it.

Why wont this thread die, I don't want to see but I keep reading, why must I keep reading?

We, as people, can create, but we cannot stop. We have given birth to something here, but I doubt that cany of us can controll it.

Sure, you can tell yourself that you are in control, that you choose to return out of some form of natural curiosity, but don't you dare deny that feeling of a hook in your psyche. That tug of some dark tail curled around your mind, just behind your ear, whispering, always whispering,

'come and see'

And the fact so many of us come back to get creeped out, knowing full well that it will happen, I find scarier than anything else in this thread.

Thanks! I'm working on writing up some original creepy stuff myself. I kinda have writer's block though. In the mean time:

You Cannot Beat Us (creepy Nintendo Entertainment System commercial):

Mirror Scare Compilation:
http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1943140

World's Scariest Job (educational but also terrifying. If you're afraid of heights, this may send a chill up your spine. For extra added effect, imagine you're him. Watch it in full screen and really put yourself in his shoes. One slip, one mistake, and he falls all the way down. If his supply bag catches, it could knock him off balance. If a storm comes through, he could be in serious trouble. Pay close attention to the diagrams about how tall the tower really is, to give some perspective. This may be on a comedy site but there's nothing funny about people who risk their lives like this every day so that things keep working smoothly.)

More to come.

sorry for the double post

this poor fellow is a hiroshima survivor. scary to see but tough not to admire his will to live. hope it's not a duplicate, but i'm not going thru all 28 pages -_-;

No, I don't think that's a Hiroshima survivor. There's no way anyone that injured would have been triaged for help. Lots of people in that city could have survived with their skin burned away, hands cut off, or eyes melted, for example. But anyone with severe injuries was denied medical attention, and in some cases food, so they wouldn't take away resources from healthier hibakusha.

For someone who survived a nuclear explosion I'd say that guy IS pretty fecking healthy...poor guy. Also well we're demonising the japanese for not attempting to help doomed people lets not forget who dropped the bombs in the first place...not like it's going to stop the US doing it again.

I see no reason why this man wouldn't be considered someone worth saving. He is suffering from a mix of old age and nuke related injuries. Honestly, the scariest thing about him is how he shows how evil war is, and how the nuke may as well run on the blood of puppies and orphans.

Seriously, I hate the very idea of the nuke.

Ta mate, will probably write something tonight.

y'know whats scary? Over here, near my hometown, there is an old children's "hospital" of nazi germany in WWII. It's abandoned, sorta deep in a forest near the town. You wouldn't expect it to be there, just to mention it. Well anyways, nobody has ever really been in it, nobody of importance atleast. There is a small video (handy clip) about a handful of kids in the age between 12 and 16 being in it. It really is not faked since I know those guys in real life. Before they went in the building, exactly at 01:00 o'clock in the morning you can clearly hear some kind of mourning in the forest near the hospital. They thought it might be a farmer or something like that... So they went into the building, carefully exploring room after room. It's like a labyrinth in some way... There still were documents from world war II about studies the nazi scientists did with the kids, it even contained pictures. The pictures showed little toddlers, completely thin with big eyes, which had different eyecolors on each eye. It was disgusting... but yeah, we know that the nazis did gruesome stuff.
I was the first one to see their video (except themselves). I wasn't really expecting less than that... but suddenly you could see something hushing in the dark... You couldn't say what it was, but there was something moving in the background... I am not joking on you, I'm damn serious. In the moment they were in the building, they didn't even notice it. I was the first one to see it.
I completely forgot about the video.. so years passed, nobody ever speaking about it.. until a friend of mine came up with the idea to watch it again... Although I almost shat my pants, they decided to go there once again, me with them. I couldn't really say no because I didn't want to be the scary cat...

So we went up there again at the same time as they were recently. It was just as silent as usual (I love near the forest and haven't noticed anything ever...) for me... but, as I said, I shit you not, there was exactly the same kind of mourning again at about 1 o'clock in the morning.. This was the time I decided to just run away through the forest home with my friends... I'm pretty sure they were as scared as I was.

As we were sprinting through the forest we could clearly hear a kind of scream behind us... getting louder and louder. I was so pumped with adrenaline and fear that I just sprinted as fast as it is physically possible for me... When we left the forest the screaming and morning suddenly stopped.

First I thought it maybe was another guy wanting to scare us or something.. but why? How did he know we were going up there? We told nobody about it. For sure.
And my house is the only house near the old hospital... the other ones are pretty far away from it.



I am still scared to this day.. this gave me a trauma.

If this is true, it's really fucking creepy.

I don't like this thread. I find it to be one of the most scary things i have ever seen (although the scariest thing i've seen is probably the trailer for paranormal activity 2), but I find the fact that makes it even scarier is the fact that there is obviously someone revelling in causing this kind of mental distress to his fellow human beings.

please watch this film (it is a neil cicierega film, i'm not a ****), and then try to forget this thread.

sorry about double post

 

[northeast rower]

Haven't seen one of these in awhile, for those of you who don't wish to sleep and want a constant chill down your spine then you've found the right thread.

Post up scary stories/pics/ or videos or make one.

I'll start off us off by horrifing you with the slender man

Spoiler: slender man

Update-

Yesterday upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn?t there.
He wasn?t there again today,
Oh how I wish he?d go away.

Keep up the work everyone soon everyone one the escapist will be scared into insanity.
I would also like to hear more personal/own writings please.

With love and fear - Mcupobob.


Another Update

Spoiler: BOO

The scary thread possible longest running thread on the escapist. Surly it will die soon right? I doubt, fear and curiosity go hand and hand. Thats why you are here and thats why you keep feeding it.

With Love and Fear - Mcupobob.

Well done, you have officially made the first page of Google Images:

The "Creepy Thread" pic should be somewhere on there.

Dammit, I guess I'll have to stay up all night with my nerf gun now.

Here's my contribution, other than my stories of terror and shaking:

<youtube=7iFXyLah2oQ>

I am not leaving my office until morning...

EDIT: Also, a personal anecdote.

I often fall asleep with a fan on because I don't sleep well in hot rooms. A fan on low has never been loud enough to disturb my sleep. Lately though, I've been waking up to the mild sound of my fan becoming a deafening roar. It's probably just my mind playing tricks on me, but it's pretty disturbing all the same.

EDIT 2: Almost forgot.

I've never been there myself, but my friends have told me stories about a tunnel near where I live. When I ask them for details, they refuse to talk about it, but from what I hear you can go down the tunnel with a flashlight and fresh batteries and when you get down into the darkness a ways you'll start to hear voices. Suddenly, your batteries will die, all your electronics will stop working and you'll be left in total darkness. That's as far as they ever got...

Tried it and got this:

"666 has been terminated due to multiple or severe violations of our Community Guidelines and/or claims of copyright infringement."

Aw, man.

 

[masterjiji]

So far the only scary thing to me was the dog thing on the second post, only due to the fact that I was expecting everything to be in the spoiler bars.

That's because you didn't open the spoiler bars, because you clearly have a small child in the room whom you don't want to frighten with strange images. That would explain why it appears that you are a scaredy-cat, but I KNOW that can't be the case.

 

[Krafty_Krocodile]

Spoiler: I cross-bred creepypasta and yaoi surely this should be scary?
