I still think it's a stretch, and I might be wrong, but I honestly couldn't see anything else off about the picture at all.

Yup there's a pale tall man on the left, he's called slenderman, he appears in a bunch of pictures, he's clearer on this one:

I found out about this from this thread on the old board last year some time. I watched nearly all of the Marble Hornets videos, at night, at my mom's, which is out in the middle of fucking Amish country. Every time I had to go to the bathroom or let the dog out I was legitimately terrified that he was outside watching me. It's probably my favorite thing that's come of this thread since it still freaks me out from time to time.

Didn't slenderman originate on Something Awful in a photoshop phriday contest?Yup there's a pale tall man on the left, he's called slenderman, he appears in a bunch of pictures, he's clearer on this one:

Well damn, you know your memes!
I had no idea that this was how Slenderman got started.

It's weird. I can see it on my laptop but I can't see it on my friends laptop. There's a creepy doll in the lower left corner.

Some of the Slenderman photos are pretty great.
This one in particular
I wonder if the general concept was influenced at all by the character "Pipes" from the one-off broadcast of "Ghostwatch."
I really love Ghostwatch... a really clever idea, with impressive execution considering. Too bad it never got the exposure it deserved outside of the UK, but then again maybe the impact would be considered lessened... not only because people outside the UK would not be familiar with the telecasters, but the whole "this is a live broadcast" element would be completely spoiled.
Still, if you're into creepy stuff, youtube "Ghostwatch." Last I checked the entire broadcast is on there. I'd love to see them try to pull off something like that again today.

^^See, I think that's too much. My favorite Slenderman moments are when he's just there all of a sudden. Like when they're shooting for Marble Hornets, the camera moves slightly and then back to where it was, and suddenly he's standing at the treeline.

Eh? Sounds interesting...any links available?
As for the above photo - it's much better than a lot of the others in that Something Awful thread, in terms of technical quality. But the multiple arms thing just moves it from "holy fuck, I can see that happening" to downright fiction. Subtle shit freaks me the fuck out. Like this.

I put this link in my post earlier, but here it is again. There's apparently more than one Youtube account related to this, but Marble Hornets is the one I watch, which I was linked to from the old thread. In these, the dude doesn't have multiple arms, he's just creepy as fuck.

30 second commercial for a two minute video. Thanks, youtube :/

This isn't ghost story creepy, but it's really creepy in my book.
A few years ago, I photographed a Memorial Day parade for one of the newspapers I was freelancing for. Among hundreds of other frames, there was a Korean War vet with a poster his granddaughter had written and signed before taping it to the back of his wheelchair. There's a few photos of that, then a few from the front of the man and his granddaughter.
Last year, the man's daughter (the girl's mother) killed them both before killing herself.
For the first time since taking and filing the shots, I just found them in my archives. I just stared at the one frame of the two of them for ten solid minutes, because my brain simply shut down entirely. I know I won't be sleeping well tonight.

Just got to this episode.

This is generally the episode I use first on Who virgins. I have yet to have even one person who started here not go back and watch the entire "New Who" catalog.
Just wait until you get to Silence in the Library and the couple episodes afterward...they give me the willies a bit, too.

Agh... why do I always end up in this thread!

I know this movie is fake, but damn this scene is creepy:
Active Member
I'm staying in the creepiest hotel I've ever been in. the building is a weird triangle-frame shape (think the lines that would cut a triangle into thirds), everything looks outdated, light bulbs burned out, AC outlets that don't work, room doors that don't close behind you and the old school chain locks...all that's missing is the 20" CRT TV. Although with the thunderstorms we're having now, the dozen-ish channels of analog satellite that we get all say "no signal".Agh... why do I always end up in this thread!
So yeah...why am I here, too?
Throbbing Member
Omg henry, why would you post that picture, and why do I keep looking at it.
ontd_creepy on LJ is doing a free watch-along tonight of that movie, if it's what I think it is. Grave Encounters, right? Omg, will not watch. Want to. But. Never sleeping again.
Matador de Froot Loops
Yes, the movie it's Grave Encounters, it's decent, a bit better than Paranormal activity but no better than REC and Blair Witch (i still find this movie awesome), much recommended to watch with a pretty lady!

is that a naked dude?

At the risk of sending you into an endless web of Cracked articles, here's one about archaeological discoveries that are pretty creepy. They use the word terrifying, but I think these are a good fit for this thread. Especially the Vikings, Moa, and Bog People entries.

Haven't posted in forever but I love this thread.
Good times with slenderman:

After two months of fly dates, we finally picked up our tour buses a few nights ago. And I made a horrible realization: I forgot to pack my copies of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
Good thing I'll be near the house in a week or so. What good is a bunk and a dim reading light without proper reading material?

I don't think I ever found Slender Man as creepy as a lot of people, but if you like him and have an Android device, today's (March 9) free app on Amazon might be up your alley.
House Always Wins
More than likely not real but still creepy

I've seen xrays and other pictures of children's teeth within the skull, and I'm usually not squeamish about most things regarding the human body, but the angle of this picture really creeps me out and triggers my trypophobia. :X
