Celery Face posted:In 1995, SF Weekly tracked down the surviving neighbour (he died of liver failure the year after) and did an interview with him. I almost cried reading it. Don't get me wrong, the tapes are hilarious but when you find out about the background stuff, it gets depressing fast. I'm disappointed that the article decided not to name the guys who recorded the conversation and distributed it. It seems like it would have been fitting for their names to be out there after what happened.

Celery Face posted:In the late 80's, two young men moved into a crappy apartment in San Francisco, next door to a couple of old, angry drunks. The roommates got so fed up with the constant arguing that they put it on tape and passed copies around their friends. It went viral. Yeah I've seen these posted here as humor before but it's all so mind-numbingly depressing I've never been able to listen for more than a minute or so

Her boyfriend was suicidal and she encouraged him to do it so people would feel sorry for her and she could get to be a famous advocate? That somehow seems even worse than just run of the mill bullying.

Didn't see this posted - I searched the thread for 'Elisa', apologies if someone posted it without the name. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Elisa_Lam Elisa Lam was a student, found dead in the rooftop water tank of a seedy hotel. There were no signs of any kind of assault on her body. She was bipolar, but there was nothing to suggest she deliberately took her own life (in any case, voluntarily drowning oneself has got to be near impossible, right?). No drugs, other than normal levels of her bipolar medication, were found in her system. What was clear is that she was behaving very strangely, shortly before her death, as seen in elevator CCTV footage of her last moments. There are numerous theories to explain her behaviour, including the paranormal - she was possessed. She was performing a ritual on the elevator, to get it to take her to another dimension. No such explanation is required to be thoroughly creeped out by the footage. Psychosis brought on by her bipolar, seems to be the explanation most are drawn to. Personally, I find the idea of being completely immersed in your own psychotic reality incredibly unnerving. What was she seeing and hearing? What was she reacting to? Where did she think she was? The idea too, that this can come about without the aid of drugs or hypnosis, from a extremely common condition. Anyway, here's the video. Looks like a run of the mill sleepwalk, until the totally bizarre hand movements at around 02:00

Fresh from where I live: 21 men arrested in Gainesville sex crime sting Seemed like your average, run of the mill, online-underage-sexual-predator-sting until I got to this gem... quote:Of those arrested, one had a prior lewd and lascivious molestation conviction, one was on federal probation for a weapons charge, and one had a bat, rubber gloves, rope and a tarp in his car when he went to meet the child.  But wait! Law enforcement is doing detective work! Asking the hard questions! quote:“He has not admitted to any nefarious purposes for those items, but it's obviously still concerning,” No. loving. poo poo. "Concerning" isn't QUITE the word I had in mind. And no guys, this isn't Scooby Doo where you catch the bad guy and he spills the beans on what his nefarious plan was... Jackasses. It's terrifying to think what that dude had in mind though. Zipperelli. has a new favorite as of 12:05 on Sep 3, 2015 |

I'm sure this must have been read by multiple people here already, but there's been considerable news today about refugees from the Syrian crisis going through Europe. Recently, refugees were allowed to travel to Germany and Austria through Hungary without requiring visa checks. Needless to say, this has caused a major movement of refugees who were currently stuck in Hungary, but the public transportation of Hungary is not made to cope with so many people all going West, which has lead to moments of potential disaster, not helped at all by the Hungarian PM. However, the whole situation was recently encapsulated by photographs of the aftermath of a boat carrying refugees - overloaded with passangers - that had capsized. Corpses were found washing up on the shores of Turkey, most horrifyingly that of three-year old child. He was born during the Syrian crisis; he had never known a life without war. His family were trying to leave, desperately, to get to family in Canada. He, his brother and his mother all drowned, along with others from that capsizing. Now only the father remains. He wishes to just return to Syria to bury them. There's not much else that can be said about this. Just don't read the Daily Mail's response to it.

Going back a few pages, the whole influenced memory thing can be as simple as this: When I was like 6 or 7, a friend of mine had his birthday party at the local laser tag place. The room where we put our vests on was called the airlock, and I remember the marshall being really into it. Like the whole "Your enemies are out to destroy you, so make sure you get them first," schtick. We had fun, ate pizza and ice cream cake, gave our friend his presents, then went home. The next day we were talking about how much we'd owned one another, and this one kid was saying how awesome it was when the airlock started shaking. Flash forward 11 years. I began working at said laser tag place. I asked the owner how they got the airlock to shake like when I was a kid, but he told me it had never done that. Unless there was an earthquake, which I doubt, this was a memory implanted by an excited friend.

Kobane, the same town where there was much fanfare about the Kurdish forces and American airstrikes. Now its residents understandably want to flee that semi necropolis and are refused.

Jesus Christ. The bureaucratic mishandling of humanitarian endeavors is timeless. Perhaps a system designed to negate individual will lacks the compassionate imagination required to effectively help others? The thing that scares me most about Orson Welles' speech at the end of The Third Man is that he has to be right about most of it. Nobody notices if one of the dots stops moving.

If you're like me and you love hiking, you've probably sat under the stars in the middle of nowhere, enjoying the fact that you're the only human around for miles. If you're on a well-known and popular route like the Appalachian Trail, you're probably enjoying the mix of solitude and meeting other like-minded hikers. At no point do you expect to be brutally murdered.Outside Magazine posted:It is a quiet, restorative place, this clearing high on a Pennsylvania ridge. Ferns and wildflowers carpet its floor. Sassafras and tulip trees, tall oak and hickory stand tight at its sides, their leaves hissing in breezes that sweep from the valley below. Cloistered from civilization by a steep 900-foot climb over loose and jutting rock, the glade goes unseen by most everyone but a straggle of hikers on the Appalachian Trail, the 2,180-mile footpath carved into the roofs of 14 eastern states. This wasn't the first murder on the trail nor the last. As another unnerving example, in 1981 a man named Randall Lee Smith murdered a pair of campers, for no apparent reason. He was caught, sent to jail, got out after 15 years for good behaviour and then did it again. When you encounter wild animals on the trail you know they may be dangerous if provoked and you therefore know to keep your distance. When you encounter humans, you could share a meal, shoot the poo poo and make new friends. Or things could turn ugly fast with no one there to help you.

Got a request! Ages ago I read someone's post on SA (can't remember the thread, feel like it might have been one of the mysteries threads) about a woman who went out in the wilderness somewhere in the US and when she got home from her trip and reviewed the photographs she found pictures someone else had taken of her while she was asleep in her tent. I thought it was creepy as gently caress and want les to read more about it but can't find anything. I know it's a bit vague but if anyone has any more info that'd be great!

She decided to hike the Appalachian Trail alone. She traveled the entire length of the trail and took seven rolls of film with her. She camped in the woods along the way. Sounds like an interesting read. Maybe it was posted in one of the ghost story threads?

hah Ya know, I was gonna ask about another creepy camping murder thing...but my memory is now so polluted with all the other creepy muder things, I can't frame a question at all.  Here is my attempt: Three (women?) people murdered in secluded cabin in the woods out west(??) no one is caught. Three women(??) killed in the same area at a different cabin years and years later and it turned out to be a creepy drifter(???). I remember being really weirded out by it happening at the time(mid to late 90????), and then reading about the second instance(in the 2000's???) and wondering if they ever linked the two.
