It has been reported that some victims of torture, during the act, would retreat into a fantasy world from which they could not wake up.
In this catatonic state, the victim lived in a world just like their normal one, except they weren’t being tortured.
The only way that they realized they needed to
was a note found in their fantasy world which would tell them about their condition.
Even then, it would often take months before they were ready to discard their fantasy world and \
I love lamp story.
Are you just looking at things in the office and saying you love stories about them?
I love lamp story.
Damn that is messed up
Fake . No one would or could imagine a cop that kind . No not even in comma.
What you wrote gave me pause.
They're right. Period.
Your exclamation seems certain, but you should be more open to using question marks. I would quote you, but I don't want to provoke any backslash.
No clue why, but the only ones that ever got me was 1999, Candle Cove, and the one about the (I'm definitely misremembering the details here) middle-eastern kid who remembers this weird children's show he used to watch and, years later, ends up visiting the abandoned studio where it was filmed and finds out that the kids were being kept in a concrete box with a microphone and their screams were used for the shows outro(?).
Other than that, Borrasca gets honorable mention for being the most legit creepy pasta, but I never thought it was so scary when it was coming out.
Borrasca is definitely the creepiest one because of how plausible it is.
The Candle Cove story had a slightly different version called the Bubbles and Gurgles show or something like that. Always did feel like I truly experienced that
Well damn that Borrasca one was a fucked up story, just finished it
Borrasca is fucked up, but not scary
I don't know man... As a girl, that shits pretty freakin scary when you considered people in the world are fucked up enough to do this shit in real life
Is anyone actually scared of creepypasta? I mean I startle easy but I'm not scared of anything that isn't a wasp or bee and haven't been in decades.
Children. Creepypasta is like spooky campfire stories except online
It depends? I know some people who have low tolerance to anything scary/horror or even intensely suspenseful and would lose sleep over some of the things I go to sleep listening to. I don't truly scare easily, but there are some stories that under the right circumstances will creep me out enough to want some eye bleach before going to bed in the house alone. My favorite is when I have my earbuds set to noise cancelling and I really get into a story and think that someone else in the house is gone or sleeping, then I see them and scare the shit out of myself lol.
I have a good friend who loves scary movies of all types. He is an adrenaline junkie. He has lived through some terrifying shit that he shrugged off. But creepy writing has him turning on all the lights in his house and calling people to come over.
Something about it digs in his brain. He's not even sure why but he said he's just stopped reading anything remotely disturbing after 3pm.
When people describe things to me, that I believe they feel are creepy, my eyes get watery. Not sure why
I realize that I have read every single NoSleep ebook that exists, buy ebooks from NoSleep writers, build my own 1000 page ebooks and I've been doing this for 8 years and I can't remember any title. Can't even remember most stories. I do read them right before falling asleep. Am I fried? Lol.
I do remember a story about a staircase in the middle of the woods, that one was creepy.
Edit: there was also this story about god knows what that involved calling a certain phone number and people on the NoSleep sub tried it and it actually worked and they got a very creepy voicemail or something. That one had me in a chokehold for a week.
I loved the one about the staircases. I grew up exploring the woods and you find some really bizarre things in places you'd never think, so it always seemed fairly plausible to me in some way. I mean I've found an empty and fairly new coca cola vending machine miles deep into some hilly woods, just sitting there like it had apparated there.
I don't think I've ever been scared by a creepypasta, but there are some really neat ones out there.
The Smiling Man is one of my favorites.
Ted the Caver is a classic.
I have a soft spot for Slenderman. I think this is one of the reasons I'm enjoying the game Ghostwire: Tokyo so much right now; one of the common enemies throughout the game looks like Slenderman.
There's list of some sorts out there called "Serene Knowledge" that I read through every once in a while that has some dark surrealism woven throughout. None of them are full on stories, but definitely have the potential to be. Funnily enough, almost every time I have the urge to scroll through it again, I have to re-search for it because every site that I've saved with it has gone down for one reason or another.

Here, you somehow forgot this whole word. That's pretty scary by itself.
That NoSleep one about the guy who found a tiny cave and went to explore it was pretty good. I forget what it was called, but I know it's all available (it had been a series on NoSleep, iirc) as a single story on some site somewhere. It might have even been turned into a novella.
Ted the Caver?
Yes, I think that's it!
Does anyone else remember the one about getting a wish if you drove your car through a stretch of road 11 miles long through the woods? It was called 11 miles or something like that.
