The scary thread

[Shoqiyqa]

OT: The classic.
Tell me if it's been used in the thread already and I'll put something else.

The exact same sample frame appears on the insertion of a "Coffee commercial" earlier.

One to go with the shaking bed:

The house is at least 200 years old. It's been extended over the decades, but the main part is a farmhouse with a 200-year-old fireplace. Those walls have been there a long time. The bookshelves have been there a long time. They're oak, black with age even where they've lost chunks from their edges to carelessness. They probably stopped settling into place before anyone reading this now was born.

Two and a half hours ago, everyone else left, leaving just one person reading Stephen King's IT on the windowsill in the corner of the room nearest the kitchen. In those two and a half hours, this person has moved only to turn the page or go through to the kitchen for a drink, and the last drink was half an hour ago.

The Sun's just going down.

In the far corner of the room, six of those six-inch-high and two-inch-thick books all fall over at once on that solid old bookshelf.

...

and my ancient mobile phone just started working and got a signal again.

Neither do I... Your gonna have to explain it to us.

That was three separate things.

1) a note that the video posted above looked like a repost.

2) a brief little story about books falling over when they had no right to do so

3) an unrelated note about a bizarre incident.

2) a brief little story about books falling over when they had no right to do so

This is the one that doesn't make sense, why wouldn't they fall over? also who went to the kitchen? and who was reading the IT book?

Threads going a little slow so I got another video for those of you not terrifed yet.

 

[rescuer86]

How about some Marble Hornets?

I have to say after reading this thread I went to watch all of the Marble Hornets videos. Without giving away any spoilers, they could have been so much freakier if the pacing were fixed. With some professional directorial experience behind it, I would pay money to see it in theaters. This one created real terror. I have not had my heart race like that since I realized the REAL reason Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is so scary. Most big budget movies can't get to me, even Japanese ones, but this one has real talent behind it. I am probably as big a movie nerd as Movie Bob, but even I wasn't entirely sure what they would do with the ending, and maybe they set up the jumpy pacing of the movie to keep people guessing. If so, Bravo.

So, in summary, thank you for pointing me to these videos. And I suggest any true horror film buff on here to go watch these.

 

[-Drifter-]

but even I wasn't entirely sure what they would do with the ending,

Well, it's not necessarily over. I'd thought it ended once or twice before, but they kept uploading videos.

I agree with the rest of your post, though. It is a very good series.

Go to ED and search creepy pasta.

Here's something that has happened to me

Spoiler: Not so scary, for me it was creepy

I was around 7 or 8 years old when this happened.At that time, I had bunk bed and I slept on the top bed. I always had to climb this ladder up to my bed. So it was 10PM and I was climbing it up like usual and felt asleep. Then I started to see what looked like and felt like a dream.In the dream,I was in my bed, but I could move or speak. Then my body started flying around my room(Me and my brother shared that room)

After flying for 2 minutes, I landed on my sofa, that was on the other side of the room. I still couldn't move. I couldn't hear anything either. Windows and the door were shut.After another 2 minutes the door opened and a dark figure entered the room. It was a tall human shape, but all dark, like a shadow.It started to move towards me.Still couldn't move.Then it was right next to me.The figure stood there and touched my shoulder. Suddenly I woke up.

My brother is shaking my shoulder and asking why am I sleeping on the sofa.I look around.I really was on the sofa, but I clearly remember going to sleep on my bed. Maybe I was sleepwalking. But there's one other thing. I look at the clock. It's around 9PM. I went to sleep at 10PM on my bed and woke up from my sofa at 9PM at the same day.I still can't fully understand what happened.

no more Arnold Palmers EVER! freaky shit right there, I can't live without that stuff

Not sure if anyone's posted this one yet.

[Julianking93]

I haven't seen this one used yet, but it's my personal favorite Creepy Pasta story.

Short, sweet and fucking horrifying:

Spoiler

You are home alone, and you hear on the news about the profile of a murderer who is on the loose. You look out the sliding glass doors to your backyard, and you notice a man standing out in the snow. He fits the profile of the murderer exactly, and he is smiling at you.

You gulp, picking up the phone to your right and dialing 911. You look back out the glass as you press the phone to your ear, and notice he is much closer to you now.

You then drop the phone in shock. There are no footprints in the snow.

It's his reflection.

Holy shit, that's fucking scary, maybe the scariest thing I read in this thread. Props to you and, where did you find it?

Wish I'd never heard this sound...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgF9ZlI_R-8

Gets spookier the more you learn about it.

You've never put the WAD files from Doom directly through a sound editor, have you? As creepy as the connotations of number stations are (which I think are completely awesome, BTW), the sounds aren't quite as disturbing as what I like to call a "computer scream".

No, I have never put Doom WAD files through a sound editor. Don't suppose you've got a sample of the horror you created, have you? Infect all our dreams!
Actually, you might be a good person to ask; there's a particular sound in Doom, which I think happens whenever a Cacodemon appears (though it's been years since I played, and my memory may well be faulty) - a sort of "chui-chw" sound. I've heard that sound in a bunch of films and sf shows since, I wondered if it was anything specific.

2) a brief little story about books falling over when they had no right to do so

This is the one that doesn't make sense, why wouldn't they fall over? also who went to the kitchen? and who was reading the IT book?

In reverse order: the one person who was there, the same person and ..... er ..... well, that was pretty much what was so damn freaky about it. An object tends to remain at rest or continue in a straight line at uniform velocity unless some external force acts on it. Does your dining table just fall over? Does your car just fall over? Do your CDs just slide out of the rack and fall to the floor? Does your gun fire itself? No? Why not? No external force. So ... what external force acted on the books?

1:09 and 4:44 are the funniest ... and the video creator's strange desire to loops some of the clips just spoiled it for me.
