I think it was /nosleep but this was years ago. A guy with a username like 10ftant wrote long prolific stories and one always gave me the heebie jeebies about his time in a jungle with an Army buddy where they were being stalked by a pig with a human face. I think it was his friend's face and voice. I tried searching but only found some poor deformed baby pig in China. He might have also had a Nazi zombie series if that helps.
There was a story years ago, I remember being the title being something akin to "the curious case of Benjamin Button" but obviously it was a different name. But I may be remembering it wrong and the title might have been worded differently. I just know it had his name in it.
The story is told through the perspective of an investigator who is going through the crime scene. They recount how this otherwise normal up until that point dude literally woke up one day and decided to go ape shit. He killed several people with seemingly superhuman strength. Just walking through room by room and killing whoever he encounters within seconds.
One person finds a hole shot through their door/wall, it's later discovered that this was caused by the sheer force of a tooth of one of the victims flying through the wall after his head is smashed in by the killer. This person leaves her room to investigate what happened, which ends up saving her as the killer checked her room next and didn't find her.
One woman is literally splattered across the walls and ceiling, such was the violent nature of her death. Another guy is eating cereal or something with his back to the door when the killer enters and crushes his head into the bowl so hard his jaw comes off. Or something along those lines.
I can't remember how the story ends. I think he's shot by police, or he just runs away and is never seen again. There's speculation in the comments that he could have been a lycan/werewolf and that nobody knew.
I have been trying to find this for months as I remember it from years ago. I originally found it from one of those "what are the best nosleep stories" posts but they get made so often I can't find it again.
Please help!
So, I've recently read The Cinema Usher, and the "I work as IT for a chain of restaurants", and now I'm looking for a few more of these rules sories, preferrably on the longer story format. Could you guys help me out?
The young man unwittingly helps a married duo of Eastern European scientists who have made two breakthroughs at the same time- one in interstellar travel, and the other in greatly slowing the aging process.
After months of working closely together, the couple abruptly fires the assistant, closes their lab and office, and vanish. The assistant later discovers that the couple secretly launched themselves into space on a vessel built with a combination of both government and personal funds. Years later the assistant receives a faint message from the couple, now far out in space, begging him for his help.
I remember it ending with them coming upon a house or a trailer with an enormously fat woman inside and they run out before her hillbilly servants can grab them
It was in the last few years I believe. I'm pretty sure there's some kind of exchange that is along the lines of whoever he's on a virtual call with expresses a desire to be human or to have someone else's face and he gets creeped out before ending the call
I can’t really find an example but I was looking for stories about haunted objects. So not really entities or monsters of any kind.
Looking for a nosleep or short scary story (not sure which one, I've looked in both communities) about ears. The person started growing tiny ears all over their body, and I distinctly remember something about them having to drag themselves along the floor and it being excruciating.
It felt like something Junji Ito himself would write, and I'm dying to read it again. I've tried searching with different keywords and I can't find it at all.
This used to be a really big genre awhile ago, but I don’t see them so much anymore. I loved them though! So I’m looking for any stories involving shapeshifters, or entities in the national parks. Think “National parks were meant to keep something in”.
Thanks!
There is a board game I believe, one of the characters had a broken leg, could be an arm. One of the people’s little brother is there as well. I never got to finish it so I can’t tell you much more.
Hi, can you guys please post some creepy stories like, really creepy, that'll probably send a chill down my spine. Thanks in advance 🐱
It was a medium lenght story about a guy cleanning out his reacently deceased mother's room. His mother had dementia and spend her last copuple of years sitting in her sofa and petting her cat, while cleanning the room the guy finds a picture of a young woman he didn't recognize (i think the nosleep post even had the picture attached to it, it was like an old photo of a women with an late 80's early 90's haircut), after findinh the picture he starts feeling tired, his mind is foggy and he ends up spending the whole afternoon sitting on the sofa petting the cat, mirroing his mother's behavior.
Ive always been a fan on the stories where the protagonist experiences both actual horror and comedic horror, if that makes sense? Ones that im thinking of right now is Tales from the Gas Station and My Property isnt Normal, stuff with similar sort of vibes to those
Any recommendations like this? I prefer them in longer type of series, like TFTGS, but I don't mind the shorter reads.
This is something that I read a few years ago and it was about maybe a homeless man who lives in an old warehouse where weird things happen and people come to the place looking for different things - like a young man comes looking for a dark corner that he stares into, another person comes to fish in a pond in the basement of the warehouse etc.
I suddenly remembered the story today morning and can't seem to get it out of my head or find it on nosleep. Would very much appreciate it if anyone can point me in the right direction!
I'm looking for a nosleep story about a boy who is new to a college dorm. An entity claiming to be his mother comes to the door. He tells it to go away. When he mentions the incident to the guy in charge of that dorm, he is told that such strange events are commonplace.
Caption basically sums it up, when I say religious I mean specifically abrahamic religious themes. For the nature part I do also mean themes, like if it’s the setting or if the paranormal entity is something nature related
Like being in the woods, tree bull shit that sort of thing (also I listen to creepcast and I have read deep woods so no need to recommend their stuff)
The story, or rather a sort of anthology I'm thinking of is rather infamous. In fact I think I'd searched for it on here a while back, but I forgot that account.
It's about a guy who travels around different parts of the US to investigate and record different strange occurrences for an organization he's working for. I'm also pretty sure the title of this anthology has nothing to do with the stories themselves and instead references some sort of disappeared town (?) the protagonist used to be from.
The first story is the aforementioned hole that hypnotized people into jumping in if they listened to the music for too long.
Then there was one about a giant in a lake near a wooded cabin. One about a disappearing door in a classroom. And a woman who no one could remember.
Throughout the story the protagonist is haunted by some shadow/force. And the ending is pretty vague and non-conclusive if I remember correctly.
Hi there, I'm trying to find a story that I think I read back in 2018. It involved a group of friends(?) watching a video with a girl counting up(?). The longer they continued to watch, strange things started to happen to them until they became overwhelmed and tried leaving the room. I think one was experiencing seizure-like symptoms as the OP was trying to get them to leave, but two of them stayed in the room and vanished at the end, leaving bloody footprints over the walls iirc.
Tried using the search function on the subreddit but came up with nothing.
EDIT: So I managed to figure out which story it was by asking ChatGPT lol, it's called "The Nope Game"
This story is basically about a boy that has a very sick mom and is living near a cabbage? patch and there is a verry tall skinny girl being he meets and they travel into the cabbage? patch tunnel and the girls brother is a giant head planted on the ground, it was so good but i cant find it.
Hi im looking for stories with time horror and and existential horror something without big supernatural events or creatures
for stories like this i can suggest the jaunt short story by Stephen king and if you armed and at the glenmont metro , please shoot me
I remember ages ago reading a story about how the protagonist was exploring some abandoned buildings or town and it was taken over by mold. first ever story I read on the sub and I'm interested in reading it again. thanks in advance.
The story was about a girl (I think) who had to finish a bunch of work or something. She drank a lot of coffee and eventually started taking some kind of drug to stay awake. Eventually she started seeing people as monsters and maybe murdered someone. I believe that during the time the story is told she is in some kind of psychiatric institution.
I think it was a relatively short story in first person where the narrator described some sort of painful device their father (I believe) made them wear in their mouth or their face. It was never explained what exactly the device was, just that it was painful and the father insisted on it. I don't recall much else. Does anyone know what story this is?
There was some kind of invasion (i think alien) and a radio host. iir people boarded up their homes and told not to look outside. They (aliens?) would drive people crazy i think. The radio host stayed on until the end until they finally got him. Tyia
Hello! I'm looking for a one-shot that was in first person from a few years ago (3+). It's a guard describing a very unique prison on another planet (?) where the prisoners are all kept in chambers/coffins of some kind. He finds it so inhumane he euthanizes the entire prison, only to then be sentenced to it. It's a very claustrophobic tale that ends with him trapped, alone, indefinitely. It may have also been on the short scary story sub. Does anyone remember this?
The story starts with the protagonist visiting a trainyard, he sees a train pulling in, someone gets off, acknowledges the protagonist's presence and leaves, the next day a suspected serial killer/rapist is found dead, the twist is revealed, the protagonist is like him as well, and is waiting for the train to come back for him. I have been looking around for this story forever and can't find it, and its DRIVING ME INSANE please help if you can.
Reposting this a year later, because the story keeps worming into my head. The title might have been something like 'the devil goes down to ___' but I just can't remember. Send help please.
I’m desperately trying to find a story about two siblings being tormented by some horrifying entity. The entity was ”clown-like”, and tormented them with ”pranks”, which were really just physical abuse. I’m not looking for Third Parent, although the one I’m looking for is similar. This entity is more maniacal though. Thanks in advance!
there was story i read so long ago now that i can't find, cause "stick man" brings up a different story. the basically the progression of the story was like
Just like what the title says, I need something to blow my mind. I used to be an avid reader, so no cliché twists like "he/she was dead all along, it was all a dream, a coma". But! it's fine if the writing is really good or if the story that led up to it is unique
But if none, pls do rec stories that made u say "that was insane". I haven't found a good one in the 'top' section for the past year so I'm really bored (tho i only read the top 10 results)
Thank you in advance
