We're reading the same thread!! What ever you do don't go to /r/nosleep. That place was the cause of a few nightmares.
I torture myself by constantly perusing /r/nosleep. I have like an entire page of favourites dedicated to my favourite creepy stories. I just don't get spooked by ghosts though, it's ALWAYS creepers.
Like I read this story on sixpenceee about this stalker dude called Dr Ramsey and just nah no nope NO NO NO. I'd link it but I'm not sure how strict this forum is on stuff like that. If anyone is gonna google it plz bear in mind there's mention of sexual assault. Also it's just generally super creepy.
And oh gosh. Stay away from /r/LetsNotMeet. Some of the stories on there are pretty meh like 'creepy dude smiled at me in supermarket' but LAWD. Occasionally you stumble upon the most horrifying things. And it's so unexpected too. You're just like 'meh another creepy bus guy story' then BANG no sleep for the next 2 weeks.
There's still a story on /r/NoSleep that bothers me to this day. If it was a joke then it was a pretty elaborate joke. Basically the user posted this phone number that related to his story (which was kinda stalking related) and when you call the phone number you apparently hear the exact same message as the user did in the story. That still goes down as the freakiest thing I've ever read. Actually I should find that again, I quite fancy reading that particular nightmare inducing story again.
