Any recommendations on stories that revolve around persons/towns/memories that the main character remembers vividly only to find out that it either didn’t exist or that it has scrubbed out for nefarious reasons

I don’t even know if it was a story on nosleep, but it was about a man traveling through the woods and falling(?) all that matters is he’s paralyzed and can’t move. Then this bird woman creature comes and either starts eating his legs over the course of a few days or feeding his legs to him, I can’t remember which one it was. I know it’s very vague but I’ve remembered this for years now and can’t find it.

My father has recently been diagnosed with dementia. I remember reading a story titled "A Shattered Life", a poignant take on Alzheimer's, and was wondering if a similar story exists for Dementia.

Note: Not looking for horror per se, but something that's a bit milder then the usual nosleep contents.

From memory the series was quite long, varying length, I don’t believe it really followed one character?

It felt very ‘glitch in the matrix’. The authors username was quite short and (MIGHT) have involved multiple reddit accounts? I remember the emails often devolved into babble or strange cryptic messages/characters. I’m desperate to find this !

Hello again! I'm looking for this story I read a long time ago (I'm honestly worried it may have been a creepypasta instead of a nosleep story) unfortunately the only thing I remember was that the story took place around the time of the Civil War in this fortified camp/town and they were attacked by something(?) every night. It might have been a series, but I'm not sure. I know this isn't a lot to go on, but I appreciate any help :) thanks in advance!

I recently ran a game of Dread set in the world of the left/right game by u/NeonTempo (cause it's my favourite story ever!) and it was sooo fun and now I'm wondering if anyone has any favourite stories that involve a group of people you'd recommend I check out? (preferably the longer ones!)

My only thought is borrasca but that would be tricky and also s/a is a no go for me and my group. (plus half my group has listened to me infodump that whole story at them lol) I'll also probably check out the friend stuck in an alternate dimension one, that world building was really cool.

I remember that the story was about an expedition gone bad. It was supposed to be about going into a cavern (I think it was in the arctic?) but it turns out it was actually the mouth of a creature and OP's expedition partners were killed after stepping into a puddle that turned out to be acid. OP ends up going through the entire creature's body by using I think a plank as a boat. I remember that at one point OP says it was super peaceful and beautiful like a crystal lake, then at the end it's revealed that someone else who has survived this ended up growing eyes all over their body. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Thanks for the help!

So a man wakes up on the ground in front of a hospital and asks if he’s dead and if this was heaven.

And then this crowd of people run past them into the hospital, kinda fighting each other to get their first and the man asks what that’s all about.

And the person that was standing there who he was asking his questions to says that someone on earth is giving birth and they’re all fighting to be the soul that gets to live in the body of the baby. But all the people who did horrible things when they were alive are the last ones to have a chance. It’s only the most purest and innocent of people (mostly kids) that get the chance to jump in and leave that place they were now.

I’m not doing the story justice. The way it was written, allows it to have the ending with a surprise twist and I think the title of the story had something to do with asking if Hell/Heaven are real.

I remember not much and I apologize there is so little to go on off. I think there were multiple kids(??) and the title was like an address where the kids grew up in? And it was a series. That is all I remember. I also remember reading it and loving it, but I got nothing else to go off of.

It was a story within a story. A young man is telling another person a story that his (Man 1) grandpa told him. The grandpa talked about how he was a scientist in the arctic (or somewhere cold), and one night there was a banging at the door. A young woman's voice, asking for help. When the grandpa got a good look at the creature, it was some kind of massive spider pretending to be a woman. The grandpa then told Man-1, his grandson, that there are some creatures in this world that are bound by rules. They must trick prey before they eat. They cannot tell the truth. They can only lie.

Fast forward to Man-2 (I think), he's driving alone on a long stretch of road when he sees a little boy begging for help. He's about to open the door when he remembers the story. The boy starts pleading, but Man-2 asks some strangely worded question that would advantage of a creature that could only lie. The boy stills, before smirking and replying in a way that makes it obvious something strange is going on. He disappears in a flash, and the woods start to bend like something massive is moving through them, away from Man-2. The boy was a "lure" that the real body of the creature uses to trick others.

He kept shitting himself and getting weaker, then blood started coming out of him, he called a taxi who dumped him out because he shit himself again. He reached the hospital and got quarantined with a little boy and a girl who later killed herself.

Someone posted this series recently as a recommended series, so I started reading it at the gym and loved it. The writing was really good, and the story hooked me.

EX marines/army join some bikies to deliver a girl to a lake. Girl starts transforming in the in the vehicle, seat and police try to stop them, but then I left the gym and lost the story.

A story I read about a girl and her friend trapped in the woods. A mysterious monster keeps coming after them, but then you find out theyre both dead. He died when his fiancee pushed him off a cliff and she died after wandering away from her family hiking trip. I wanted to read it again. Happy Halloween!!

Im looking for the story called "The Chilson Boys".

Hey good people, wondering if anyone could help me find a couple of stories..all I remember is vague concepts..

The first one was a story centered around a school where weird stuff was going on behind the scenes. I believe there was a secret room the kids told legends about and one child dissappears?

The second is a story about a group of kids who play regularly in a neighborhood. One kid is evil or becomes evil somehow... I think he dies at the end by falling into an abandoned house or pool...

Also if anybody knows any good stories about cannibals/hillbilly type horror stuff please shoot them my way! Appreciate yall!

The story is a guy and lady find a haunted painting at hotel I believe. Lady gets pulled into the painting and is forced to eat strawberries if I remember correctly.

Any one remember this one?

the OP is writing about one of their college friends, who is an anthropologist or an archeologist who is doing studies in the amazons I believe? The friend was studying a tribe that has no real concept of time, and she has a necklace and the symbol on the necklace somehow ended up in the tribe’s history somehow, because the friend was unbound from time/space so she was like, all the figures in the mythology at once, and she ended up disappearing. there might be the mention of whales at some point? read several years ago now

Things I remember:

• It was between 2016-2017

• it was multiple parts

• there’s a killer who takes over and destroys a town. The military gets involved

• he wore a mask

• I think the word “smiley” was in the title but I’m not sure. Possibly the word “angel”

• I think the story started with a killer in an asylum

A story that I read years ago, it's not popular, the protagonist was gay, and I think it was him as an adult recalling what happened when he was a pre-teen. He lived in a town where they had a path going through the woods that was rumored to be haunted. I remember there was a lot of murders happening and unsolved.

A group of bullies was bothering the protagonist, and they took him to the edge of that path and were trying to force him to go through it, to prove he wasn't a wuss. I can't remember this part with details, maybe he refused and they started to beat on him, but then I think one of the bullies said they should stop, which made the others try to force him to go through the path too?? I'm not certain, but I know the protagonist ends up running through the path and this bully chasing him.

They start to notice something weird, think it's an entity and end up collaborating to get out of there. I know when they get out the police ends up finding who was chasing them, it was a man (not supernatural) and he was a serial killer that thought the boys witnessed him burying one of his victims and was following them to off them too (maybe they did witness it? Or maybe they didn't understand what the man was doing at the time, I'm not sure).

Anyway, that's as much as I can recall, I remember I really liked that story but I haven't been able to find it... I even tried chatgpt to help me find it 😂 but no luck there

I'm not certain this was a nosleep post, but it was written as a genuine story, possibly in a comments section. It was about these guys who were exploring some abandoned building in the woods, and came across a sort of humanoid pig with hair and deep black eyes. One of the men in particular was terrified by the experience and traumatized afterwards.

I want to read the most viscerally disgusting, reprehensible stories nosleep has to offer that are also genuinely good. Especially body horror stories with sci-fi aspects.

I'm a big fan of the "Runners" series by u/iia as well as his other works. I'm also a fan of Nick Cutter's The Troop and The Deep, and I love anything by Junji Ito. And of course I adore classic body horror films like The Thing, if that gives you an idea of the type of thing I'm after.

My only limit is that I don't like stories that involve very young children since that makes me sad instead of scared or grossed out. But other than that, nothing is off limits.

I've already read many of the really popular "disgusting" stories like "The Pancake Family", "The Tub Girl", etc., so I'm looking for lesser known stuff.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

I am searching for a story I read years ago and only remember bits and pieces of. Something about a kid being watched by an old man. A gray man or man in a suit or something. I want to say he was wearing a surgical mask. All I remember clearly is that at the end the kid thinks he loses him and walks into the kitchen and he is there, potentially having harmed his mom? I know it's not a lot to go on but I remember it being really scary and would love to read it again if anyone has any ideas.

I really enjoy series with multiple parts that continue each chapter (more so than different stories set in the same universe type series). I’ve read some of the most famous ones like the left right game, borrasca, I dared my best friend to ruin my life (I think that’s the name), and several more. I like a nice long series but am happy with any recommendation

Hi, I've been looking all over the occupational stories, but I can't seem to find the one I remember. I listened to a reading of it on YT and have been trying to refind it since. It's not a "list of rules" story and is closer to "search and rescue woods" and "tales from a gas station" and is probably from that same late 2010s era.

I have memory issues, so I hope this is accurate enough, some things might not 100% line up.

Things I think I remember:

• the narrator (i'm pretty sure was a guy) was stuck at this retail job (i think it had something to do with videos?)
• like, literally couldn't leave. and i don't think he had any family or anything to care. he was just there now
• i think there was some mention of a threatening management/higher authority
• it was kind of casual in tone, like he expressed surprise that people were interested in his "boring job"
• i'm pretty sure one story involved a day that was looping repeatedly
• and another had a client trying to return something that couldn't be returned (?)

He stops by a gas station, gets some stuff, when the cashier asks him where he and his friend are going. He goes on a long tangent of how he's also traveling with his best friend (my brain keeps telling me his best friend's name is Chris or Kyle) and how they've been friends forever. He gets in the car with his friend in the back seat. They start driving again and start to see weird stuff. Ghost ladies, zombie people, that sort of stuff. When the drive is done the driver (narrator guy) realizes that his friend never existed or something.

Does anyone know of any nosleep stories like this? I hope I explained it well in my post title because I don't really know exactly how to describe what im looking for, but I find I get a bit more immersed in a story if it feels like someone telling realistically what happened, leaving some details out that the average person wouldn't remember like specific dialogue, rather than attempts at creative writing. No "'Yes', I said" type stuff. Not that there's anything wrong with the latter style, I've read some amazing stories like that, but it just feels like the former is an unexplored avenue from what I've read on the subreddit, especially considering the sub's gimmick of the comments playing along.

I'm looking for a nosleep story where the monster is a human sized vampire bat. I don't remember many details about the story. I think it's told from the pov of a child ; at the beginning of the story the child's family rescues a box of puppies ; the vampire bats can climb up to the windows, open them, and then they feast on the children ; this monster is revealed later on and how the children are waking up with bites on their necks is a mystery at first. I'm stumped.

So uh about a year ago i read this story about a guy, I think and his friend that went to Antarctica for her job, she is a scientist there I think. So basically the guy finds an email with a file(?) and it was from his friend and the email was about I’m not sure but something went wrong there? And his friend comes back like nothing happened and the guy finds out that it isn’t actually her and she’s like some kind of clone? It only had like one part when I read it but it’s been a while. I wanted to check for part two but I’ve forgotten the name and the author, so if someone recognised this pls help me. Thanks. Also she (the friend) might’ve mentioned being cloned in the email but I forgot so yeah.

That sounded strange. But stories like correspondece iias teeny tiny or EZmiserys chasity. Just sad macabre stuff

Hey! Can you guys recommend me stories about cursed books? I don't think this subgenre is explored too often, so give me even the most well known examples so I can confirm I've already read them. Thanks!
