It was quite a few years ago, so the details are a bit fuzzy. The main premise was that through medical improvements with implants and such, eye transplants were possible, but still in trial. The story follows someone who was blind and received an eye transplant, but now sees monsters and such, like everyone else who’s gotten the eye transplants does. I really want to read it again, but I couldn’t find it myself.
Hello everyone, I’ve had a lot of extra time on my hands. I’ve been reading here for years, but more recently I’ve finished every story in “Top” for all time and this year, and the list ends. I’m wondering if there’s a way I can find top for other years? I average probably 5-6 hours a day reading, so I run out quickly:/ any non popular suggestions are welcome since I think I’ve read all that have above 5000 upvotes now.
I cant remember for the life of me the rest of the details.A dead woman is found on a beach tied up, and people are urging each other to go to the beach, claiming that she's alive and the water is fine. The story ends with the POV also inviting the listener/reader that the water is fine and to come to the beach.
I don't remember a lot, but the basic plot is this: The protagonist keeps hearing sounds from a specific part of their wall. Eventually, the protagonist discovers a hole in their roof, just above the wall where the noise was coming from. The protagonist reaches up over the hole, and takes a picture of the inside.
We get to see the picture, and at first glance it's completely dark. But if you look really closely or tilt your monitor a certain way, you can see a spoooky face.
I should mention that I'm only partially sure this was a nosleep story at all.
A young woman (possibly a school teacher) was mysteriously killed within a very small town. Paranoia quickly rose so the townsfolk blamed someone passing through for her death and lynched him. I think the title sounds some like "The Good People of [TOWN]" but it's a fuzzy memory.
I read Borrasca, Penpal, and My Wife Has Been Peeking Behind Corners and I love the idea of people being the monsters. The thought that something like the story was or is happening adds to the scary factor. If anyone can recommend me more stories like these, I'd greatly appreciate it.
would be forever indebted to those of you who can point me toward stories revolving around missing people or groups of people. thanks in advance!
The letter mentions that it must be kept secret. He also can't be caught doing any of the assigned tasks, otherwise he won't get his gift. He was told to do things like hide all of the coffee in the house, steal his teacher's perfume and spray it in his house in the middle of the school day.
In the end, the tasks cause his parents to break up and he never gets the gift he wanted. Years later he finds the letter because he hid it somewhere and forgot about it, and it turns out that he wrote to Satan by mistake.
I've ready a story some time ago where a handyman found a woman trapped in a wall while renovating and the conclusion was that the house owner was keeping her alive hooked up to machines for years. I'd really like to find that story again, as well as other similar stories (particularly the aspect of people being kept immobile but alive since that concept scares the shit outtta me lol)
I read this story a long time ago. A family was found behind a wall, like in a secret space between walls. There was something about a closet I think? Anyway, they were all standing there next to each other and couldn't move. A machine was in there with them that the father had built, I think he was some kind of scientist. The machine is the reason they're like that. It was maybe something like a time machine? But I'm really not sure about that. The father's head was blown to bits.
The part I remember best is a line at the end that was sorta like "It must have been horrible for the son, standing there unable to move, with his father's brains leaking all over him."
That's all I got :')
There are 3 no sleep series that I am looking for but can't find could y'all help me?
A series set in a small town around Christmas. each story could stand alone as it's own story but is connected to all the other ones. I remember there being a subreddit for it. It had something to do with 24 days of Christmas or 12 days of something.
A loosely connected anthology series that is written by multiple authors about a pop up novelty shop. I remember the owner of the shop likes pistachios, and there being something about a killer cardboard box. (I think I found it. It's called Alan Goodtime)
A series written by an author, where he released multiple stories that had nothing to do with each other, and then writes a series detailing how each story represents something awful that happened in his life, and is how he copes with the loss of his sister.
Thank y'all so much!
Title says it all. I can't for the life of me remember the name of it. It was set in a logging camp, bunch of guys, one had this snarky as hell way of narrating. I loved it, it really stood out. There was something up with the trees and an entity in the forest I think?
I've been trying to find it, but no luck. The post is a series and is based on those scary rules. One of them was sorting letters or envelopes(?) and if the protagonist did it wrong, they get killed in some way based on the color of the letter. I think there was a narrator in the protagonist head. Also, I think the narrator gave him tasks and maybe sent him to different places. In reality, the protagonist was solving problems in life by doing these set of rules without them knowing. In the end, they meet the narrator.
(I’m not sure if it was on /nosleep or /rulehorror or whatever its called.)
I’m looking for one of those multi part stories that were at the end of each episode. This is about something like “goat rock campground “ or something like that.
I remember the main character went to a college and people there all hated people with certain astrological signs, while others were more popular (I think Sagittarius was one of them?) Anyway the MC had one of the signs that people didn't like so they lied about it, but eventually people found out. One night, all the people with the hated star sign had to be locked in a room. The MC thought this rule was stupid but it turned out that something supernatural happened and when they came to they had killed their friend (who was trying to help them) in a public bathroom. Can anyone help me find this bc it's driving me insane
From what I remember, the boy was getting bullied and one night his mom comes down to the basement where he sleeps and finds him with his wrists slit and he’s dead
Hey I've been trying to find this story again for a while so I figured I'd check here. The plot is basically this lady is at a low point in her life and a friend/friend of a friend invites her out to join them in this group house thing that they're building in either the woods or like the base of a mountain or something, but the mimic/spirit is something from there that's trying to keep them away -and the story is mostly the road trip there where the thing that is haunting them mimics deeply personal fears or low points and the main character switches cars and goes with different people, and at the end, the mimic tries pretending to be her so they have to pick who or shoot to finally get rid of it and the deciding factor is because she was squinting (she desperately needs glasses) she was the real one, but it's kinda a fake out until the last second? Idk, this is one of my favorites and I've been trying to find it again to no avail.
Basically kids are playing hide and seek and one of the kids elects to hide in an old house. Goes to the upstairs and hides in a closet, gets bored then falls asleep. Wakes up and it's dark and the story progresses. It ends with the kid escaping and he sees his parents with police.
At the end of the story, the kids he was playing hide and seek with say that they were going to check the house he was hiding in, but saw a kid they didn't recognize beckoning them to come and they got scared and ran.
Hi everyone thanks for your help. I'm looking for a story I read a while ago I only read the first 2 parts and i wasn't to finish it. It's about this guy who supplements his income by working for a cemetery and getting inside the coffins and staying buried for like a few hours to test stuff inside like oxygen or light or strength or whatever. In the story he's offered double what he normally did but he has to stay down there without a radio or something and everyone else refuses but won't say why. He does it and when he's in the coffin he hears scaping against the wood on the outside that sounds like fingernails. When they bring him back up he sees the scratch marks on the wood of the outer wall of the coffin. He's super creeped out but goes and does it again and this time there's many more and they actually manage to get it open. I know he passes out and wakes up in some secret underground tunnel with these weird Zombie things chasing him. I think it was written by Max Voynich ( u/Max-Voynich ) The same author who wrote Gutter (the one about the secret language that led a couple to the Underworld following the river of death or something) Again thanks for the help
I am currently working on a story with themes of what the title is. I am not Christian and I am having trouble with the latter theme. Just also curious how others told the story, as my story is about a town "disappearing" (the have not really disappeared but also are not people anymore) I am struggling to have a reason for the story being told, whether its a scp type deal or perhaps locals in the surrounding area. Anyways just was curious if anyone knew of some stories like this, the only one I've heard of/read like this is the Disappearance of something Kansas
Hi! I’m looking for a story that was definitely written within the past year or two that deals with the main character at a facility in the jungle that is hosting god/a similar entity. From what I remember the god was being sliced away a bit at a time with a certain machine while still being somewhat alive. The main character also has to make his (?) way through a bunch of hanging bodies, it was on the longer side. It seemed most people in the facility has died and the narrator was the only one left. I’d really love to reread it so I’d appreciate the help!!
A couple years ago, I read a story on no sleep that I really want to read again.
Here's what I remember
I don't remember specifics, I just remember the overall story. I loved it though
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 read a story on nosleep a few years back, someone stuck alone in their room/apartment chatting with someone online. There’s a knock at the door but before they can check it out their chat partner stops them and advises them not to answer it. The whole story isn’t very long but I remember it was well written with the protagonist not knowing who to trust and the descriptions were very chilling.
Sounds so vague and generic but I’m really hoping someone knows the story I’m trying to find?
I read a story about a man leaving a bunker that they had been wholed up in for years; The boy explores the wasteland with his friend/brother who gets bit by a rat. His friend then gets a piece of rebar through him and he comes back to life as a zombie; I remember that the zombies were people who were infected with a cure for cancer or immortality or something like that. and this was the result of them dying and coming back.
Read a story within the last year or so that I keep thinking about
OP sleeps in their van on road trips, but when visiting/dropping off a friend in the desert (I think?) the friend warns them not to sleep in their car "around here" and makes them promise to get a hotel
They don't listen and wake up to noises outside their van, look outside to see their boots are placed differently than they were before, and decides to go get a hotel after all
But the hotel/motel desk person just stares and tells them to GTFO, that they were marked by something because of sleeping outside and by the time OP tries another motel, all the lodgings in the area have been called by the first place, warning them not to let OP rent a room.
The refusal of lodging is really important to the story progression, and while there are a lot of "don't sleep in your car!" Stories on Reddit, I have yet to find this specific one again-- only ones where they successfully get a hotel or go elsewhere with no further events. Thanks in advance!!
I remember that the narrator could remove her own skin and regrow it, and maybe ate people but was otherwise a fairly normal young woman.
Hello- I was reading it a few years ago and never knew if the author added more to the story. I believe it was Dr. Murphy maybe? People being admitted with extremely bizarre vitals and symptoms and it seemed like maybe aliens were involved? Anybody know? I'd appreciate it!
Was watching this movie and thinking about how much it reminded me of some of IIA’s stories particularly Lippy, Teeny Tiny and Diary of a Cam Girl. Any other stories that have similar vibes (biohorror, wish gone wrong)
All I remember about the story is that there is a kid or boy maybe and he was hiding with a candle, scared it might give his location away but the creature finds him but doesn't attack him because of the light and the creature has a bell tied to it. Also I think one by one (maybe) his family goes out and they here bell outside but I'm not sure please help!
