A place for the "truly" creepy.
Welcome to /r/truecreepy
How is /r/truecreepy different?
This subreddit is a place for creepy things, anything that you can think of that is genuinely creepy. This is no place for anything but creepy things.
RULES
- WE ARE NOT /R/CREEPY. Please keep cross posting to a minimum and use your better judgement. If your post can be cross posted to a humour or cute subreddit then it is probably not appropriate. If the content you are posting won't inspire nightmares find a more appropriate subreddit. The community is in control, if your post gets reported it will be scrutinised by the Mods and a decision will be made whether or not to allow the submission to stay.
- Comments that add no value to the discussion are discouraged and will be deleted. This includes "this isn't creepy" as well as "shouldn't have clicked this at [x time]". Questions, discussion and analyses are welcomed. Furthermore we kindly request that you be civil and respectful in the comments section. Treat other redditors like human beings or risk being banned.
- No political posts
- No memes.
- Please use the NSFW tag if your post is NSFW.
- This is not /r/gore. Please go there if you want to see disemboweled bodies.
- Your post doesn't necessarily have to be "true" in the most formal sense of the word, works of fiction are highly encouraged. The true in the subreddit's name refers to being loyal and faithful to what is creepy and unsettling.
- Be excellent to each other
- Don't spam. This will not be tolerated and usually results in a ban. Submitting your own YouTube channels will be kept to an even higher standard for what belongs in this subreddit, and more than one self-promoting link per month may result in a ban. Numbered submissions (such as 'FIVE SCARY MOMENTS FROM SOCIAL MEDIA') will be removed.
If your post gets deleted please do not take it personally. This community tries to uphold a very high standard and as such we encourage people to post only the highest quality nightmare fuel.

My Wife Stepped on Something in the Lake… We Found Out What It Was the Next Day.
My wife and I used to take our toddler daughter to this small lake near our house, almost like a pond really. We’d picnic, swim, just relax as a family. One afternoon, after we ate, my wife went for a swim while I stayed on the shore holding our daughter, just watching her.
Suddenly, she shouts to me from the water, "I think I just stepped on someone’s face!" At first, I thought she was joking, but she was clearly freaked out. She came out of the water pretty fast and looked shaken. She said she felt what seemed like an eye socket and the shape of a nose when she stepped on something soft underwater.
I was going to go in and check it out but honestly... something about it just didn’t feel right. So we packed up and left soon after.
The next day, we saw on the local news that they found a missing boy’s body in that same lake. Apparently, he had drowned a day or so before. The police said his body wasn’t found where we were swimming, but honestly, we’re not sure we believe that. The lake was small, and we think the body could have drifted or maybe they didn’t want to scare the public.
My wife’s fine, but we’ve talked about it since. We both agree that if she had reached down to feel what she stepped on—or worse, if I had found it—things could’ve been a lot more traumatic.
