That's some Blair Witch Project shit

I live in Pennsylvania, and my house is surrounded by woods.

You should be watching the livestream of Okeanos in the Marianas Trench right now.

The dive's over. I can post screencaps and etc later but I need sleep. By tomorrow the video might be reuploaded anyway.

Shit like this never fails to keep me up at night.

...Am I the only one who thought Britney Spears' "Toxic" was frightening?

Yeah? Ok...

If you listen carefully, you can hear the very real screams of about 100 people burning to death

Sorry for the double post but you're not going to believe this, the same thing happened to a friend and I in the woods over a decade ago, not too far from the general area that you mentioned. Huh.

If you have the stomach for it, I recommend looking up pictures of the capuchin catacombs. Especially the body/ mummy of Rosalia Lombardo, the last body to be allowed there. Her father was an official and after she died when she was only two he found an expert embalmer to preserve her so that he and his wife could visit their only child.

This is probably the most /x/ thing to get spooked by, but skin-walkers wig me the fuck out. The idea of a creature taking on a human shape and attempting to mimic speech is really unsettling.

Same, maybe that is why Edgar from "Men in Black" always gave me the creeps.

Oh man this used to scare the shit out of me. Good times.

It's a lot less creepy (for me at least) once you find out the story behind it though. That's a trans woman named Johnnie Baima (goes by the Goddess Bunny/Sandie Crisp) and, if you couldn't tell by looking, she has polio. I've seen a documentary about her as well as an interview from a few years ago, and she actually seems like a relatively normal person. Just a crippled drag queen, really.

Here are a bunch of my favorite short horror films. I actually have tons more to share.

Alma (2009): A young girl is lured into a toy store that seems to be interested in adding her to its collection.

Red Balloon (2010): Something other than nightmares is terrifying a teenage baby sitter's young charge.

Alexia (2013): When Franco decides to delete his deceased ex-girlfriend from Facebook to move on, something strange starts to manifest through his computer.

The Thing in the Apartment (2015): Sam is more than a little exasperated when her friend, Lindsay, calls her in a panic in the middle of the night; she ran away from her apartment because she swears something is in there. While initially skeptical, Sam soon realizes that Lindsay has every right to be terrified.

The Facts in the Case of Mister Hollow (200: A very clever and unique film that is entirely based around a photograph; the initially innocent and normal photo is slowly revealed to be hiding something very menacing and sinister.

Bedfellows (2010): You never know what to expect with a phone call in the middle of the night. Nothing good, obviously.

Lights Out (2013): Maybe night lights shouldn't be just for kids after all...

Don't Move (2013): A group of friends accidentally summon a demon with an Ouija board. Luckily for them, it can only sense you when you're moving. Unfortunately, staying still is easier said than done...

Skypemare (2014): Alison is left home alone on Halloween night, but while chatting with her best friend Jenna over Skype, something terrifying happens to Jenna, leaving Alison helpless on the other side of the computer screen, watching in horror.

Exit (2013): At a country manor in Edwardian England, a parlor trick becomes bewitching, as one of the guests gets his dark desire.

So there's this YouTuber called Corpse Husband who narrates true horror stories. There's this popular and most viewed Deep Web store video called' Why I Quit Hacking' and throughout the video there are tons of images going through as the story progresses. And this one image creeps me the fuck out especially on full screen and in the dark.

In the same spirit of the excellent movies Cosmos posted...Here is a 1960s classic from the UK's master of the Ghost Story...M.R. James.
A frightening and atmospheric nightmare called "A warning to the curious..." One of my favourite horror short movies...

I always liked the poster that was made for a later stage version...Not outright scary, but ominous...

Seeing the composite of what Joseph Merrick (the elephant man) would have looked like without the tumors covering his body breaks my heart.

Spoiler: real picture of him

Spoiler: without tumors

For some more feels here is the poem he wrote about himself:

"Tis true my form is something odd.
But blaming me is blaming God;
Could I create myself anew,
I would not fail in pleasing you.
If I could reach from pole to pole,
Or grasp the ocean with a span,
I would be measured by the soul,
The mind's the standard of the man."

This video is unsettling from start to finish.

Okeanos is doing another survey as I'm typing this. I can't seem to find anything resembling a schedule but I did find where they post mission logs and select high quality pictures/video. The dive I saw should be up in a few days. In the mean time I did take some terrible caps.

I hope they post a video of that... thing at the bottom. I've never seen anything like that before.

Have you seen this documentary?

I first saw promotional clips from it on Youtube a couple of years back. I tried to find somewhere it'd been posted in its entirety, but everywhere I looked I just got a message saying that I'd have to sign up to the website before I could even search for it. The clip that hooked me was where the actor was restrained and given prosthesis to mimic Merrick's deformities, and then recited the poem that he wrote at the bottom of his letters. It was only a couple of minutes but it made me howl like a little bitch with a skinned knee. Late last year someone uploaded the full documentary. Fascinating from a scientific point of view, but Merrick was someone that the universe looked at and said, "Hahaha, fuck you."
