View Full Version : Scary stuff.
Post scary stories.
Maybe this sounds like a stupid idea, but please do.
A factor that makes it more scary is if it's something that has happened to you.
But, this next story hasn't happened to me, it just made me think. I'm a scaredypants too, do your best to make keep me awake at night.
Here is the story
"GET HELP.
You start noticing those words when you're going about your day-to-day business - just flipping through the classifieds, or posted on telephones near bridges. Normal places. Just words that seem to be catching your eye.
Then they start appearing more randomly: the first seven tiles you pick in Scrabble, the first spoonful of alphabet soup, even those stupid spams sent by strangers. You even check a few of them, but they all end up being for the same old pills and promises.
Now it's getting so everything you read has those words crop up - close-captioned TV shows, book titles, CDs, bus schedules, menus, everywhere. It's distracting, very very distracting, it's so very hard to concentrate when words squiggle out of the corner of your eye, when the keyboard's no longer qwerty but gethelpgethelpgethelp.
The delusion's taking its toll. Who needs help? Who's sending you this message? Why you? How can you help someone who you don't even know?
You're trying to type an email to a friend. It's very hard to do. The letters keep swimming and you add an apology in the email, just in case your writing's garbled. You finally hit send.
Later, you wake up.
You're in the hospital. Your friend is sitting beside you. I was so worried, he says. When you sent that email. GET HELP GET HELP GET HELP, over and over. I came over and found you on the floor. They had to do surgery. Do you know what they found? A second brain. Tiny but fully formed, growing in your head. It was blocking an artery. You're lucky to be alive.
But you aren't really listening to your friend any more. You're staring at a fire escape diagram near your bed. It doesn't say anything about fire safety at all.
FINALLY, it says. IT WAS GETTING CROWDED IN THERE."
Also, a short one, not so scary, but ok enough. ;)
"The last man on earth is at home.
Suddenly there is a knock on his door."
The only scary part of that story is that they decided to remove the brain, rather than just re-routing the artery! What a waste of potential genius!

Get help get help get help get help.
Get help get help?
"The last man on earth is at home.
Suddenly there is a knock on his door."
So? It's obviously a woman!
the get help one seemed like it had loads of potential whilst I was reading it up until the fire scape part, however the end seemed more like a joke than a scary story.
Come on, contribute.
This made me paranoid, but it's kinda lame anyhow. "Don't look behind you, it doesn't like being seen."
And this one.
"You're in your bed.
You just woke up, you look at the digital clock glowing besides you, it says 3:46 in the morning. It's almost pitch black. You look down, and see your daughter besides the bed. You right yourself up and put support on your elbows.
You look down on your daughter and ask what's wrong. She tells you that she had a bad dream.
What was it about? You ask her.
I can't tell you, because when i told you about the dream in my dream, the thing wearing mommy's skin sat up.
A shadow behind you shift."
Jet, seriously, did you ever even read any book in your life? Those aren't scary in the least!
Even Humpty Dumpty was scarier than those stories! (Although in fairness, I don't know why anyone decided to make a nursery rhyme out of someone's death.)

Humpty Dumpty was originally a riddle; it went through the rhyme, and then a question was asked;
What was Humpty Dumpty.

Actually, it's those who don't read that are harder to scare by making them read a text, those with a limited literal culture and imagination.
I don't know, it just get's me thinking. And i still get easily scared.
You know, you could just go to 4chan.org and to the "/x/ - Paranormal" board. No, it is not /b/, that constantly offends anyone.
But that paranormal board is seriously scary at times.
Just lock this thread, it doesn't matter anymore. God.
And if you wan't to contribute anyways
POST ANYTHING.
ANYTHING THAT'S SCARY.
Except pictures.
Except pictures.
So that's a "no" to Paul's beard?
You know, that actually made me laugh.
But seriously, no pictures.

i don't know the exact story, but it went somewhat like this...
i went to a flea market and bought a copy of majora's mask and an expansion pack. the owner said that the game was haunted.
naturally, i didn't believe him, so i brought it home, and began playing it.
the only odd thing that i noticed was that there was this face in a blue void on a wall. i couldn't reach it, so i ignored it and beat the game in a few hours
the next day, i started up majora's mask again, and suddenly the face thing began attacking me!
i hit it with the sword, and then link died.
i continued the game, and found out that i had a new mask that looked like that weird face
i put the mask on, and the game froze, with the creepy face staring at me. since i was freaked out, i turned the game off
the next day, i wanted to watch tv, but the face was still there! it was on every single channel!
i checked that the game was off, and it was, but it was still there
i told my mom, but she didn't believe me, until i showed her the tv. then we were both scared.
a technician said that it was caused by screenburn, but i know that you can't screenburn a tv in such a short time.
we got a new lcd tv, and did the same thing again. as i expected, the face got stuck on the tv, even though lcd's aren't supposed to have screenburn
i went back to the flea market to return the game, and luckily, the seller was still there
i told him about what had happened, and he again told me it was haunted
the story was that the very original owner of the game was killed by his wife as he was playing the game, and his soul became part of the cartridge
the seller said that the creepy face was the face of the original owner, and that the same things that happened to me happened to him
the seller told me that i shouldn't return the game, but instead burn it
he also suggested burning the expansion pack, because that may also be haunted
i forget the rest. i dunno whether the story is finished or not

I think the best ones are often true, and pictures make it better.
The Headless Demon though, it was similar to a Chupacabra in the thiness and such of its body, like the ribs poking through. But here's the catch, there was no tail, it crawled on its hands and knees. And its neck just ended though, as if it had been beheaded.
It was strange, for I had it described to me, and I could feel its presence, even though I never saw the creature myself. Say I'm lying, but the supernatural aren't as sterotypical as one may think. They don't all have to be 12 feet tall with red eyes and razor sharp teeth.

Haha, i've heard similar ones.
For example, some guys kidnapped a girl and brought her into the woods, to .. well, have intercourse. She turns out to be a bear.
And that someone started conversing on msn with another person, and they met, that person turned out to be a bear and ate him.

Considering you actually do believe in demons, I'm sure a lot of stories would scare you more on the basis that they're actually plausable to you.
I, personally believe in a lot of stuff.
It's getting close to midnight over here, and that's where i go to bed on days off (When my parents are at home :/)
Try to scare me to death so i can't sleep!
Well, i would be sleeping, in a sense, if you did scare me to death.

Actually surprisingly they don't, because I can see the lie in them to make them scary. Demons don't unnecessarily always have to rip your guts out upon sighting. It seems that's about all scary movies are now.
THIS THING... IT RIPS YOUR GUTS OUT. IT'S SCARY. It also eats children.
To much repetition. Something new needs to happen for scary movies though. Like something that picks apart slowly at your mind, driving you to insanity. But you never die. You know, something new?
I hate that many of the stories makes me so paranoid and insane.
Always think i'm followed.

I guess it was rewinding... If it wasn't, then I'm creeped out too.
In what way is that scary?
It's a simple stop-and-go animation. And a choppily executed one I might say.
It's overlayed with footage of his moving hands, both filmed with the camera affixed on the very same spot and the same depth of field.
In the movie "Hollow Man" they used the same technique to create the invisible man with the background looking through him.
Only they had a very expensive camera mounted on a computer controlled robot arm that could recreate the exact same movements.
In one go they filmed the actor wearing a green-screen suit, in the second the robot filmed the same movement without the actor and only the background.

Hmm the only thing scary is life itself. Really, just think about it.
Also, don't bet it's too interesting for you, but the one with mommys skin was an altered one.
Here's original.
"Daddy, I had a bad dream."
You blink your eyes and pull up on your elbows. Your clock glows red in the darkness—it's 3:23.
"Do you want to climb into bed and tell me about it?"
"No, Daddy."
The oddness of the situation wakes you up more fully. You can barely make out your daughter's pale form in the darkness of your room. "Why not, sweetie?"
"Because in my dream, when I told you about the dream, the thing wearing Mommy's skin sat up."
For a moment, you feel paralyzed; you can't take your eyes off of your daughter. The covers behind you begin to shift.
When i reread the creepy things i've posted here... they don't seem creepy anymore.

Go through as many Youtube video comments as you can.
Now do the same for Bebo/Myspace.
Now, picture in your mind, all those comments were made by people of your species and that is how they act in real life too.
The scariest thing is that it's completely true...

It's not so much of life that scares people, but rather, what lies beyond the grave. Do you disappear into nothing? Do you reincarnate? Life Review? Alternate Dimension? Cake? The cake's a lie. Heaven and Hell?

This mess of a thread reminds of the time when I nearly bought a house. I was aptly shown to the door of the only empty house left in town by the local estate agency. The employee who had given me a lift to the top of the hill on which the run down mansion sat had been extremely reluctant to go through with the whole thing and had dribbled nonsensically about death and ghosts and zombies and orgies and vampires and the like. By the look of the man, I would've said he was a zombie himself, but everyone knows zombies can't drive.
The night had set in completely when I finally decided to move towards the large, rotten front doors of the house. I didn't have a key - the "zombie" had bolted off as soon as I had gotten my suitcase out of the car - but I could see it wasn't going to be a problem. The doors opened slowly before me as I stepped in. I didn't even have to touch them because they were so rotten...
I set my suitcase down on the bed upstairs and creaked my way down to the kitchen. The place was rife with cobwebs and insects and a thick, greasy layer of dust covered every surface. In the room on the other side of the kitchen an armchair creaked back and forth eerily in the lofty breeze from a broken window, the curtains billowing like some sort of...
bump.
I looked wildly around in the dim and grabbed an old oil lamp which I hastily lit with my fire lighter.
bump.
There it was again, and it felt like it was coming from below my feet. A rhythmic, heavy thumping that filled the whole house from top to bottom. The dim, flickering glow of the oil lamp outlined a uniform, rectangular crack in the old, kitchen floorboards. Insects of all types were scurrying frantically out of the crevice as the bumping sound grew slowly faster and harder. Closer inspection revealed and iron ring set in the wood that was gelid to the touch. With a grunt and an explosion of dust, cobwebs and insects, I managed to lift the trap door open, choking slightly in the thick cloud. The thumping was suddenly amplified, carried along by a cold air that blew out of the trapdoor, forcing me to hold my skirt down as it fluttered about my ankles. This was a surprise to me too, I could've sworn that I had packed only the manliest of trousers.
Curiosity got the better of me as I knelt and tried to peer down the stone steps leading into the pitch black cellar, tentatively calling out "Hello? Is there anyone down there?". The thumping replied with extra ferocity.
I stepped carefully down the steps, my body shaking, and not because it was cold. The cellar was long and thing, the hard, rhythmic thumping was coming from the other end. I walked slowly closer, holding the oil-lamp up high, trying to see further than the weak light would let me.
thump.
The coffin jumped forward with another loud thump, rearing its lid to reveal utter oblivion inside. I gasped and dropped the oil-lamp before it burnt my fingers and stepped hurriedly backwards. The coffin kept pace easily as it lunged forward with every echoing thump it made. But a thing like that surely would not be able to tackle stairs. I knew this as sure as i knew that zombies couldn't drive. I ran hurriedly up the uneven steps, back into the dank kitchen and looked behind me. The coffin was taking the steps one by one.
thump.
thump.
In that moment of desperation I put my hand in my pocket. My fingers connected with something hard and square. I pulled it out of my pocket as the coffin took on the last of the stairs. The square hard thing was a sweet. A Tune. I put it in my mouth and sucked on it. The thumping stopped. The coffin was still. I breathed a sigh of relief.
Because everyone knows that when you suck on a Tune, your coffin stops.
What? At least I'm contributing.

In Greek, "homo" means "same" (so homosexual = "same sex").
Try, I dunno, "anthrophobia" or something.

So are you saying that, using ghosts as an example; it is possible for someone to leave an imprint or some form of themselves behind after they have deceased so long as there is a logical reason behind why it happens? I mean it is undeniable that everything must have logic behind it but is it not true that logic could some day be used to prove things like this? I suppose that it quite a weak argument as there are many ludicrous reported paranormal events that are indubitably untrue but yet have never been disproved. I personally do not believe in ghosts, but I don't rule the possibility of it from my mind completely...

Also, none of these stories have scared me yet.
Here's a fun thought..
I think it's wrong to view our minds as a single super computer. Rather, it is a large number of crappy computers working together. So in a sense, couldn't you say that with the Internet, we have created something resembling a brain, or atleast are going towards it. It's not able to process thoughts or anything, yet, but the internet will grow and evolve, and of course we are not doing it on purpose. Rather than a robot uprising because of A.I, the internet would gain awareness.
I bet somebody could make a working science fiction story based on that =P
Edit: I watched Stanley Kubrik's 2001 last week. It was the scariest movie I've seen in a long time, it really creeped me out. That movie is pure existensial angst :D

A bus driver slows down to pick up a passenger. It's late, and it's starting to get dark and rain. A small, grumpy woman climbs up into the bus, hands him coins and mutters a greeting. She stumps to the back of the bus and sits down, angrily.
As he drives along, there's a lightning flash and he notices in his mirror that the woman is gone. He slams on the brakes in panic, and looks in the mirror; she's back, and she has blood streaming down her face.
The same thing happens again, except she has more blood on her face and she is screaming...
She screams; "STOP PUTTING THE BRAKES ON, I'M TRYING TO TIE MY SHOELACES!"

You have a point. Even though, you need to be alive to be scared.
If you aren't, then you can scare others as a ghost :cool:
but not get scared.
I think.
There are far bigger issues to worry about in life than ghosts.
Ghosts are nice pleassant things to be afraid when you deny all the really scary stuff going on.

While yes, it could be considered that the human brain is just made up of thousands upon thousands of weak processors working simultaneously, the difference between it and computers connected together via internet is that the parts of the brain work together as a group on a single problem, while on the internet the computers don't. They're limited to sharing whatever small data that they're told to share with each other, and nothing more. Not nearly enough to be able to act as a brain, regardless of how many are connected.
Also, although a virus could be made to have computers working that way, a program like that would take a ridiculous amount of programming to even do basic problem-solving.
Actually, webcomic Kid Radd did something like that: there was a virus that was supposed to destroy all files on the hard drive at a certain date, but it ended up that so many computers had the virus that they connected together and became one sentient being.

Are you so sure? I can ask 'the internet' almost any question and can be almost guaranteed to find an answer.

he has a point, though. Not like your telephone example :p
However, I'd say it like this other example: Look at a library. It's almost the same, but on the other hand, you need to search for it a bit more. Why did nobody ever mention that libraries were becoming like life beings? Because you still need to find the information yourself.
Granted, Google helps us do that a lot. But the computer won't state an opinion, it'll just process your information and display it, like it's supossed to do, without taking any action on its side. It's just like a tool, only very complex, that searches into a huge database. You could however chat with other people, but it's only person to person level, not the whole internet itself. Even if there was something that sorted the stuff you are looking for depending on yourself, it'd be a program to make it get sorted like that. For it to become aware, it should have a "leader" that organises ALL the information. Just like human beings, when there are too many of them.
I can't see the future, but as of now, it doesn't seem near for me.

= brain? Kinda?
= brain? Kinda?
No. Not even close.
Look, an actual brain is a thing that thinks for itself, and can do so independently. Google may search among sites for an answer (well, aside from that it only searches for similar words, and not the answer), but if the answers themselves were solely human input, it doesn't count.
Ok, i'll just let a healthy conversation which has nothing to do with this topic get derailed!
Have fun.

Well, it is related, because the thought of all connected computers becoming sentient can really make you worry (I Robot, anyone?).
This conversation here though, this isn't related...

Are you sure about that?
Could you be clearer?

(I Robot, anyone?).Based off one of Isaac Asimov short stories wasn't it?

I bet somebody could make a working science fiction story based on that =PAlready on it. Although lots of other people are as well, so hey.
But yeah, the smart money in AI circles is probably on nets of computers working together.

Have you ever considered Jesus Christ to be the first zombie to exist?
I mean, he died, and at the third day, he raised again and began to walk. Aside from the fact that he didn't eat brains, he fits the definition.

Nope, Jesus himself ressurected someone else before he died himself.

Damn, that's true. OK then, he's one of the first zombies AND the first necromancer. Even better :cool:

Jesus is just keeping up an old tradition, Krishna was also a necromancer and a zombie. As were bunch of other guys before Jesus.

the only thing that freak me out are barney and disney submimminal messages
That's nothing, try considering they made a Pez movie, (as in, the candy dispensers). "It's the Pez Dispensers in their first movie ever!"
It had better be their last too.
That's just scary, a movie about Candy Dispensers! What plot could honestly be attached to that?!

It reminds me of Nintendo's movie, 'The Wizard'. Only that movie was very much successful ($14,278,900 Gross revenue for USA) , probably just because it was America's introduction to Super Mario Bros 3.
Super mario bros. 3 is SATAN. Seriously. Go to Angry video game nerd and learn.
