I thought that some of you might like to know that The Little Fears is back. After being gone for a long time, she's finally returned, and she's got more stories to tell, more spines to chill.

This is an anonymous letter that I received a few weeks ago. I don't know who its from, and I don't know if the contents of it are genuine.
Dear, (my name)
In the town where I went to high school, which wasn't all that long ago, we had a ski team. On Mondays and Saturdays they would go up to a local ski mountain. This year they ski team was larger than it usual, with about 30 kids on the team. This created a very crowded bus. One Monday they were going to head up to do some night skiing at a mountain that they usually didn't go to. Additionally when the bus arrived it was from a company that none of the members had ever heard of. Unfazed the team boarded the bus and started toward their destination.
On the top of the bus there was a flashing LED light that created a strobe effect around the bus. Because of this the people on the bus could only see their surroundings every couple of seconds. Most of the way to the mountain they passed through dense forest, the strobe light made a very eerie effect against the trees. While this interested the students for a few minutes they quickly got lost in their conversations. Only one of them, a kid who I knew, who was very quite looked out into the forest.
About half way into the three hour trip they were passing through the densest part of the forest. When suddenly the boy who was looking out started acting strange. He had a look of horror on his face that was so genuine that everybody started to ask what was wrong. His only answer was to point out of the window into the trees. That's when everybody started to notice the eyes in the trees. They did not glow or even look abnormal from human eyes in any way. They started small and slowly got bigger and bigger. As these eyes approached human shapes began to appear in the darkness. Slowly they got closer and closer even though the bus was driving at over 40MPH. Eventually someone turned to the driver to tell him to speed up in order to get out of the woods. The driver however was already watching them completely oblivious to the road in front of him. Far from crashing the bus was driving itself perfectly.
The drivers eyes grew wide and he said "If you want to know the answer look into their eyes" and pulled out a gun from his bag and shot himself. Not only did this create an uproar in the cabin of the bus, it also seemed to make the creatures in the wood converge faster, when once they were very slow, now seemed to be coming at a normal walking speed. As if they were drawn towards death.
The only teacher on the bus who at this point had done nothing to contain the situation sprung into action. He leaped for the controls and hit the gas pedal hard around a turn. The bus began to flip and so he overcompensated and jerked the wheel the other way. The bus fell on its side and slid to a halt.
All the while the creatures came closer now running at the bus because they could sense the death of students inside. Only about half of the students remained conscious. Then they heard the scratching on the windows, then the tapping at the doors. They never saw the faces of the creatures only the eyes staring lidlessly at them. Then the hatch at the top of the bus slowly began to open......
It wasn't until the next day that they bus was found on its side. Of the 33 people on the bus including the teacher and the driver 31 of them were dead. All of the dead had their eyes open, and upon further inspection it was found that their eyelids had been carefully removed. Though their bodies where broken and bloody their eyes still seemed alive always staring at whoever was in the room with them. Of the two that were still alive one was badly injured and never fully regained his mental abilities he had before the crash. In fact the only two words he ever says anymore is "their eyes" which he repeats endlessly to the people around him. The other however did not seem to have a scratch on him he was the only one found outside of the bus sitting next to it with his bottle of water in his hand.
He killed himself recently the final words of his suicide letter were "and now the eyes pass onto all of you, I am sorry for what is about to happen, goodbye" He was my best friend and recently I have had taps on my window and I'm sure I have seen eyes in my closet. I'm not the only one, since I have asked the people connected to this team more than half of them have seen the eyes, of the people related to them a similar number.
What are the eyes? What do they want? When will you start to see them?

Since I have revived this letter there have been knocks on my door when nobodies there. I have seen black shadows in the woods moving in a way shadows shouldn't move. But the eyes, the eyes are the worst.

That was a rather nice one, I enjoyed it. I've always found this sort of horror story, the sort of 'viral threat' ones, to be fascinating somehow. Of course, none of them are actually legit, I mean, you can't transfer a curse just by writing something down and having others read it, but it's certainly spooky. Oh hold on, someone's at the door... which is odd, because... it's 11:40 PM here and... we live a mile away from our nearest neighbor...toratora1942 said:
2:53 in the morning and I've been reading this thread since about 1... I'm not sleeping tonight.
Oh jeez, white and red just scared the balls off me.
Is it possible to have itchy fear? Feeling like it's all over you?
It's mid morning, in a well-lit house with the TV on, and I'm on my laptop absolutely pooing myself at this thread.

Every time I browse this thread I end up regretting it, but I keep coming back! D:
The only thing which has happened to me, which is kind of scary probably doesn't stand up much to these stories.
Where I live, it's a very rural area. Very quiet at night and still very quiet during the day. A few miles away, along one of the bicycle paths is a bridge, which you have to walk under. The bridge has a round on top and you can hear the cars passing over. It's a bypass, so it's fairly busy. Now, as I was returning from town, walking along the path I reached the tunnel. Thinking nothing of it, I kept walking.
The tunnel is about 50 metres long, and has strobe lighting along it. It's a dull sort of light, more of an amber glow than anything useful. Being 14 at the time, I didn't really get bothered about walking home in the low light (This was evening, around 4:30ish - winter, it gets dark early) So, I make my way through the tunnel. I'm not one for all these "Weird feelings" and such, but I got the most gut wrenching feeling of "I should not continue" after a few steps. I kept walking and I can not begin to tell you how wrong it felt.
It was like an anchor in my stomach, I should not go this way, turn around, cross the road and go down the bank on the other side. It had this feeling, something so "bad" I couldn't describe it if I wanted to. So, after getting a third of the way through, I just stopped. I couldn't move. My own body, possibly in the act of self-preservation stopped me. Every nerve in my body was tingling and the hairs on my neck were at their highest.
I immediately moved backwards, which I was surprised at because I honestly thought I'd locked up and made my way across the road above, which might I add, was at it's busiest point and at no point after entering the tunnel below did I hear any vehicles going overhead.
I've never walked back that way again. I never want to feel like that again and I honestly have no explanation as to what happened then either.

I was told to check this out while spending a workday browsing Wikipedia:

Possible Cold War lies, but that just adds to the interesting for me.
Better to read the WIKI article, but here is an excerpt:

The Search
It had been agreed beforehand that Dyatlov would send a telegraph to their sports club as soon as the group returned to Vizhai. It was expected that this would happen no later than February 12, but when this date had passed and no messages had been received, there was no reaction?delays of a few days were common in such expeditions. Only after the relatives of the travelers demanded a rescue operation did the head of the institute send the first rescue groups, consisting of volunteer students and teachers, on February 20.[1] Later, the army and police forces became involved, with planes and helicopters being ordered to join the rescue operation.
On February 26, the searchers found the abandoned camp on Kholat Syakhl. The tent was badly damaged. A chain of footprints could be followed, leading down towards the edge of nearby woods (on the opposite side of the pass, 1.5 km north-east), but after 500 meters they were covered with snow. At the forest edge, under a large old pine, the searchers found the remains of a fire, along with the first two dead bodies, those of Krivonischenko and Doroshenko, shoeless and dressed only in their underwear. Between the pine and the camp the searchers found three more corpses?Dyatlov, Kolmogorova and Slobodin?who seemed to have died in poses suggesting that they were attempting to return to the camp.[1] They were found separately at distances of 300, 480 and 630 meters from the pine tree
Investigation
A legal inquest had been started immediately after finding the first five bodies. A medical examination found no injuries which might have led to their deaths, and it was concluded that they had all died of hypothermia. One person had a small crack in his skull, but it was not thought to be a fatal wound.
An examination of the four bodies which were found in May changed the picture. Three of them had fatal injuries: the body of Thibeaux-Brignolle had major skull damage, and both Dubunina and Zolotarev had major chest fractures. The force required to cause such damage would have been extremely high, with one expert comparing it to the force of a car crash. Notably, the bodies had no external wounds, as if they were crippled by a high level of pressure. One woman was found to be missing her tongue. There had initially been some speculation that the indigenous Mansi people might have attacked and murdered the group for encroaching upon their lands, but investigation indicated that the nature of their deaths did not support this thesis; the hikers' footprints alone were visible, and they showed no sign of hand-to-hand struggle.
There was evidence that the team was forced to leave the camp during the night, as they were sleeping. Though the temperature was very low (around −25° to −30°C) with a storm blowing, the dead were dressed only partially. Some of them had only one shoe, while others had no shoes or wore only socks. Some were found wrapped in snips of ripped clothes which seemed to be cut from those who were already dead. However, up to 25 percent of hypothermia deaths are associated with so-called "paradoxical undressing". This typically occurs during moderate to severe hypothermia, as the person becomes disoriented, confused, and combative. They may begin discarding their clothing, which, in turn, increases the rate of heat loss.
Journalists reporting on the available parts of the inquest files claim that it states:
Six of the group members died of hypothermia and three of fatal injuries.
There were no indications of other people nearby apart from the nine travelers on Kholat Syakhl, nor anyone in the surrounding areas.
The tent had been ripped open from within.
The victims had died 6 to 8 hours after their last meal.
Traces from the camp showed that all group members left the camp of their own accord, on foot.
To dispel the theory of an attack by the indigenous Mansi people, one doctor indicated that the fatal injuries of the three bodies could not have been caused by another human being, "because the force of the blows had been too strong and no soft tissue had been damaged".
Forensic radiation tests had shown high doses of radioactive contamination on the clothes of a few victims.
The final verdict was that the group members all died because of a "compelling unknown force". The inquest ceased officially in May 1959 due to the "absence of a guilty party". The files were sent to a secret archive, and the photocopies of the case became available only in the 1990s, with some parts missing.
Controversy surrounding investigation
Some researchers claim some facts were missed, perhaps ignored, by officials:
After the funerals, relatives of the deceased claimed that the skin of the victims had a strange orange tan.
In a private interview, a former investigating officer said that his dosimeter had shown a high radiation level on Kholat Syakhl, and that this was the reason for the radiation found on the bodies. However, the source of the contamination was not found.
Another group of hikers (about 50 kilometers south of the incident) reported that they saw strange orange spheres in the night sky to the north (likely in the direction of Kholat Syakhl) on the night of the incident.[citation needed] Similar "spheres" were observed in Ivdel and adjacent areas continually during the period of February to March 1959, by various independent witnesses (including the meteorology service and the military).
Some reports suggested that much scrap metal was located in the area, leading to speculation that the military had utilized the area secretly and might be engaged in a cover-up.

I've got a personal story that I think is pretty creepy.
It's true, I swear. Weird, huh?
In sixth grade, our class hated the music teacher. We would harass her, we'd screech on the recorders and ask stupid questions, we'd do all kinds of crap just to annoy her.
One day she decided she'd had enough. After one classmate of mine did something outlandish (can't remember quite what it was) she blew up.
She screamed at the top of her lungs "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS CRAP!" slammed her hands on the piano, and at that instant, all the windows in the music room opened, as well as the storage closet door. I have no explanation for this, and she was fired at the end of that year.

Seriously, what does it take? A headshot?
