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

[Fanatical Pragmatist]

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?

For as horrifying and mind-wrenching as my dreams can be (see previous post for scratch of the surface), my own experiences with sleep paralysis have been nothing of the sort.

I once had to be administered morphine in the ER. I compare my experiences to sleep paralysis to that of being on morphine. My body feels heavy and glued to the bed, but my senses feel they are floating on a cloud.
I've only had sleep paralysis a few times, but they all have felt comfy, honestly.

Sounds like an excellent reason not to use morphine recreationally. You find it comfortable to be unable to move, to open your eyes, nor to control your breathing?

I've never found sleep paralysis to be spooky-- just extremely terrifying.

I could still move when I was on morphine, just that the feeling of sleep paralysis could be closest compared to when I was on morphine.

Yeah because it feels like I'm high, but I'm safe in my comfy bed with nothing to do but sleep.

I understand junkies less than I did before. Why the hell would anyone take something that made them feel like that on purpose?

Not that I'm calling you a junkie. I'm just saying. I'd rather get punched in the balls.

The Abu Ghraib prison and what happened there is one of the scariest and worst offences humans have committed. You read and watch about what happened there and it's worse than how the nazis treated jews. The type of brutality that happened there against Iraqis could have only been committed by rootless mercenaries only interested in money and free university. The american military is a soulless jewish entity that is capable of committing war crimes like a calculator.

This is also what's scary about living in our society. You have a Vietnamese neighbour on your left and a black on your right and if it came down to it they would torture and kill you as brutally as possible. You don't have any connection to them and they have none to you. The Americans were able to commit those atrocities because they are inherently different from the Arabs.

Lol, what the fuck are you talking about.

Yeah I know what it is, but how the fuck is that worse than the holocaust?

The thought of pedophile rings torturing and killing children. I don't know how rare they are but it's fucking terrible for the kids that get caught up in it.

I went down the rabbit hole of human trafficking once, and the shit I read still bothers me on a visceral level. The fact that there are different going rates for different races, sexes, and ages speaks volumes about our ability to be monstrous to each other. For the uninformed Young blonde attractive white girls bring the most.

Also being in the middle of nowhere - and knowing what lurks in those damn forests - you would think I would be afraid of it. Nope, afraid of the boars that'll maul me. Boars are terrifying. I had one almost run me down and I have never forgotten that shit. The idea or existence doesn't scare me but I'm not going to be in the dark at 3am hearing one of those things.

A guy I went to school with got treed buy hogs once. Stayed up there for 6 hours because he left his rifle in the atv case and didn’t have a sidearm. It’s why I always carry my .357 in the woods around here.
Also some time ago there was a story from south GA about a kid that was out hunting and somehow ended up hanging upside down from a tree and by the time they found him both arms were gone. Torn off and eaten by hogs. I remember it saying this occurred postmortem, thankfully.

I said the treatment was worse. The Nazis would just kill Jews and be done with it. Those guards constantly tortured the prisoners for no reason. And of course later on in the war Jews and POWs were treated worse because of a lack of resources from the north sea blockade. There were only a few really sadistic nazis like dirlewanger who would actively go out of their way to treat people poorly

I can't believe human traffickers are such racists, don't they know that yppo are terrible? BLACK LIVES MATTER traffickers! And girls? How transphobic of them!

(The scary part if that if I looked around the internet, I could probably find someone saying this and meaning it.)

The sad part is that you’re probably right.
Also typically the buyers wealthy Chinese businessmen/Govt officials or Arabs, and once they get them home no one will ever find them. Say what you want about the US or most of Europe, but at least there you have the chance of escaping and finding help. Somewhere like China or any Muslim country not so much.

It sounds like they failed to grasp how actually remote remote locations in the United States can be. The car was found somewhere nobody sane would have even tried to go without serious preparation, at least if they knew what it was like, in a park known for its dangerousness and literally called "Death Valley."

I'd like to go there at some point but it's nowhere to fuck around and get stranded, and the weather extremes are, well, extreme. You can get second degree sunburns and die of heatstroke during the day and freeze at night.

A bit late, but I really think people underestimate the vastness of the US and the danger of deserts. Before I ever heard of the Death Valley Germans, I helped out a German couple in Utah at one of the national parks. They didn't have more than a 16 ounce bottle of water between them and it was 100 degrees Fahrenheit that day. When I saw them, it looked like they were looking for a water fountain in the trailhead parking lot which was nowhere near town or the visitor's center. This in spite of the fact that there are signs posted everywhere about how much water people need to have with them in the desert. Maybe they didn't read English too well? I think they just couldn't conceptualize how hot and dry it was, I don't think it's a just German thing, but I wondered.

Spooky thing to stay more on topic: I had sleep paralysis three times only. The first time, the big black shadow with red eyes was at the door and then I woke up. The second time it was at the foot of the bed looking down at me. The third time it was in bed with me whispering in my ear before I broke free. Then I learned some basic meditation and I never had it again. I still wonder what it said.

Empty office buildings at night can be really spooky. Also datacentres: I've been in them late at night, and it's easy to freak yourself out, the noise of all those server fans can make you think stuff like "Did I just hear the door open and close? Is there someone or something in here with me"?

Does the video document the crimes they committed to end up there?
I have very little sympathy for goat-fuckers honestly. I have sympathy for their victims though
