That's what I thought about the first story. It's super easy to hallucinate in the dark woods when you're tired. I've hunted very early in the morning many times, and your mind plays tricks on you.

Now that you've referenced that story, which creeps the hell out of me, I feel compelled to read about the Anguished Man. I am supposed to be sleeping, and this will probably give me two reason I can't. Edit: Nope. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. I got through the first paragraph, and I decided to cut my losses. Actual dangers that exist in the real world and can actually hurt me barely phase me at all. Imaginary dangers that don't exist anywhere except in my imaginations consistently gently caress me up.

Creepy stories involving paintings? I have an offering. One of the scariest things I've ever read, a short story called "The Throwing Suit," about a painting with a horrible "true" story behind it. I know we don't do fiction here generally, but this is worth it if you're interested in stories in this vein. You can read most of it on Google Books: https://books.google.com/books?id=kEVMHPuGp2gC&lpg=PA141&ots=SWqcPIRZaQ&dq=%22the%20throwing%20suit%22&pg=PA125#v=onepage&q&f=false

But in the light of day, I'm enjoying reading about it now. Gonna go get a second coffee and spook myself now that it's "safe" from "ghosts."

FourLeaf posted:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Scully I know this was a few pages back, but I made the mistake of googling Scully and thought I'd share. The article is about a man who tortured babies and children on camera and allegedly posted it for all the world to see, so...fair warning. https://www.vice.com/read/why-are-people-obsessed-with-the-legendarily-dark-internet-video-dafu-love-923  According to secondhand accounts, the supposed video features a real Australian man living in the Philippines named Peter Scully, who, along with his accomplices, tortures several babies to death. Rumor has it they use a hammer and chisel to break a baby's skull. Rumor has it they disembowel a baby. Rumor has it, they beat two babies together as though they're having a pillow fight, until the impact finally kills them.

Gonna go get a second coffee and spook myself now that it's "safe" from "ghosts." maybe this is not the right thing but when I look up "the anguished man" I find this quote:The day started out like no other. Michael had just got home from work and sat down in front of his television, mindlessly staring into the endless void of pixels dancing around on a glass screen. After a few short minutes of mind numbingly staring into the television, he decided to go and get himself an ice cold beer from the fridge. On the journey there, he heard something on the tv that unlocked a memory that had been long buried and forgotten for what he thought was an eternity. and if this is the right thing: y'all fuckin' pansies

fun hater posted:yeah i dont think people were talking about anything from the creepypasta wiki and were probably talking about the article linked in the original post Yeah, but the original article wasn't that scary either. With my eyelids not drooping and full of coffee, this morning all I thought was "okay, a spooky painting and a very-easily-faked video of a 'ghost,' hey but that painting is pretty cool though." That said, spooky stories, real or fake, are always fun. Keep 'em coming, if you wouldn't mind.

Apparently, Gay Talese has been in regular contact for several decades with a hotel owner who turned his hotel into a private voyeur preserve. Fifty years after the hotelier installed special vents in the ceilings of his rooms so he could watch - and record in detail - the sexual escapades of his patrons, he is ready to have his story told. http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/04/11/gay-talese-the-voyeurs-motel

Travis343 posted:Where the hell do you just get enough babies to do this stuff with. I'm from the Philippines and somewhat aware of the case from the newspapers. I haven't seen his videos (nor do I loving plan to), but from what I've read, he doesn't kill them; he just does some really, really nasty things that are beyond comprehension. As for the scary answer to your question: The parents volunteer their child for a small sum of money, mostly because they think it's just sex. Little do they know that there's actual torture involved. And the subdivision where he stayed is filled with poor families that have like 9 children per household. I don't know who supplied him with the infant, though. There's a detailed article (I'm too scared to look for it in Google again) about a cop handling the case who said she survived, that just listening to the audio alone was worse enough, and the video was so disturbing, they had to rotate the investigators every month so they won't suffer severe trauma.

This is extraordinary. Thank you for linking it! I've always been a fan of Gay Talese's writing - "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold" was my introduction to literary journalism - and this piece doesn't disappoint at all.

Jack Gladney posted:This article is amazing. If by "amazing" you mean "a horrifying example of a writer throwing ethics to the wind in pursuit of an interesting story, then cashing in on violating people's privacy after the statute of limitations had passed so he couldn't be arrested," then sure, yeah. Wonder how many thousands of people got spied on after Gay Talese heard about it and neglected to call the cops on the guy. In summary, gently caress Gay Talese, and gently caress everyone in this thread who called this story "amazing" with no mention of the vileness of its content. ETA: Even more horrifying is the fact that the justification he uses - that it can't hurt people if they don't know about it - is erased by the fact that this story names the hotel and the years it was open, which means anyone who ever had sex there can now lie awake at night wondering whether some old pervert is still jerking off to the memory of watching them have sex. pookel has a new favorite as of 20:03 on Apr 6, 2016 |
