Shit You Think is Spooky/Disturbing - Beware! You're in for a scare...

I find it extremely disturbing when you go to a place and there is just this ''bad energy'' all over it. Last time I experienced it was when I was looking for apartments and one in particular felt so fucking wrong, like someone was watching your every movements. Later, I discovered that the old lady who lived there died in one of the rooms.

I bet "quit being a lolcow" still works pretty well.



I had one of these, looking for a small house to rent. It was really cheap and I was really broke, and was in a nasty dispute with the landlord of the place I was then living in that didn't seem it was going to resolve out of court, and I might have to move suddenly. It was a weird little house in a cul-de-sac on one of those roads that got isolated by the building of a bypass probably decades before and the neighborhood, such as it was, had been deteriorating since then. It was within seeing distance of a highway but took a couple minutes actually to get onto any real road anywhere. It was a really small house, but the weird part of it was that the bathroom and shower were in this underground basement, with windows at the top of it about ground level, and the whole area had a short roof, so you would have to stoop over slightly to enter it or use the shower. That whole floor gave me the creeps, to the point that it showed up in creepy dreams for months afterwards, just every once in a while, I'd be in it for some reason.

Luckily the landlord problem resolved a lot more amicably than expected and I didn't have to move into that creepy ass place.

You know how pets know the vet is a Bad Place just because they can smell the stress of other animals when they go in? I think humans still have that ability but we aren't consciously aware of it.

Great thread, and honestly one of the best for October.
A surprising amount of people here have experienced sleep paralysis. About 8% of the general population have experienced it. I sleep on my stomach, face down, so it wouldn't be possible for me to experience sleep paralysis especially when I'm either just staring at my pillow or at nothing as my eyes are buried in the pillow. When I tried to sleep face up I kept waking up throughout the night and didn't sleep well.

Imagine getting sleep paralysis. Couldn't be me! Also, a question, when I read your accounts of sleep paralysis it doesn't sound that you're particularly terrified, do you get scared when you get sleep paralysis? How does it feel?

I've only experienced sleep paralysis two or three times. The first time it happened i was a teenager, but i didn't see any shadow people, I jus couldn't move my body. The last time it happened was about a year ago, and had the strange sensation that something was trying to drag me off my bed.

Yeah, couldn't really think of anything until I saw this, sleep paralysis is absolutely terrifying... my eyes are never open which is good- but the feeling is just horrifying.

Kyoto's Chitenjo- or blood ceiling- Temples make me feel faint whenever I see them. I like the idea behind them in theory- reusing the boards in order to purify them and honor the sacrifice of all the people who died doesn't seem so bad, but even just seeing pictures of them disturbs me. The fact that they're part of the ceiling fucks me up too- imagine constantly have blood stains hovering above and behind you. Reminds me of Fatal Frame.

For me, it's awful.
I'm semi-awake, but can't move, breathe, or anything else. And I'm more frightened than I've ever been.
When I was a little kid, I'd see giant drill bits coming through the walls and ceiling at me. When I got older, I'd see the Alien standing in the corner of the room.
I would just...force myself to move and breathe.
On some level I knew I was dreaming, but the paralysis makes it seem all too real. That's the best I can explain it.

Getting harder to disappear every day... I doubt anyone can.
There is a book written (originally) in 1986 published by Desert Publications: "How to Disappear Completely, and Never Be Found".
I saw an interview with the owner of Desert Publications. He said the original author vanished, and he couldn't send him the final check.
The info is all circa 1980s, 'updated' to the mid 90's. Complete garbage. None of the techniques are valid anymore.

Welcome to The Machine.

People still go missing to this very day. Even in the age of surveillance. Most of them probably die, but some might be out there, some where.

That "Everywhere at the End of Time" album.

I like The Shining a lot and the musician who did that did an earlier dark ambient album inspired by the movie with a bunch of ballroom samples and it's got that nice deep creepy nostalgia hit to it, but everything about "Everywhere at the End of Time" is designed to break you down. I knew about the first one from some horror fan bs but accidentally found out about the later project from a YouTube video and fucked myself up hard because I couldn't let it go until I listened to it.

It sounds like some gay creepypasta shit but it's the only thing I can think of that gives me some bad, bad kind of cold sick dread when I see the album art pop up on something. The creator, The Caretaker, was inspired by musicial memory being the last thing to go in dementia and created a six hour....Something? Art piece is a pretentious description, composition kind of works, simulation doesn't really give it the credit for how effective it is as a piece of music. Six hours of progression from pleasant ballroom that's just like Grandma sitting on a sunny park bench or something, to samples repeating a little and fucking up, to an absolute nightmare cacophony, to complete disintegration and then the last few minutes is just... Christ.

It just really, really bothers me.

Everyone who lived in a house I used to live in got the same weird and disturbing dream - dying by drowning in shallow, icy water. I had 4 or 5 dreams like that in the time I was there, so did my other half. It was a big house and a lot of lodgers came and went, and they all got those dreams too. Just so that we weren't putting ideas in their heads, we wouldn't tell them any specifics about the dreams, but to tell us if they had any weird experiences - and within a few weeks, they'd tell us "I had this really weird dream where I drowned in 3 inches of really cold water."

It was a new house, and nobody had died in it as far as we know. It was built on top of an old landfill, so there may have been some funky gases (a lot of people suffered migraines there too) but that doesn't explain why everyone who lived there dreamed of dying in exactly the same way. Fucking weird.

Shit shit shit, I forgot about this project god damn you, now it's gonna bug me again for weeks.

Edit: there's some old wooded trails all over my town and I like to walk my dog down them. It's good fresh air. Last week I took him down an area we'd never been before and at some point my hair was standing up on the back of my neck and my dog tucked his tail between his legs and pulled me back in the other direction. He didn't have to tell me twice, I'll stick to the trails we know from now on.

I once made an ex think we were stuck around midnight next to an electrical substation station off some no name gravel road in the middle of nowhere, because I was revving my truck's engine while in neutral.

I hike and camp quite a bit. One thing that has always spooked the shit out of me is bears. The statistical likelihood of having a bad encounter with a grizzly, much less a black bear, is astronomical. But I still find it hard to sleep in bear country when I know these things happen.

Waking up to your first elk bugle at about 3am in a hammock is also a terrifying experience.

There is an ex-Green Beret on Youtube named Redonkulas. He was deployed in 3 wars, highly decorated soldier, also suffered traumatic brain injury from a base shelling attack.
The fucker has some BONE-CHILLING paranormal experiences from his experiences in Iraq and in some US bases. Army ghost stories intrigue me. If you can be scared while holding an M16 and wearing body armor...
Being a Green Beret, he is a natural woodsman and hiker. Even he GTFOs when the forest goes silent. Also, many times he recalls hiking and feels 'eyes' upon him.

Grains of Salt: He has brain damage.
