Anyone know of any good creepypasta sites out there?
For anyone unfamiliar with the term, 'creepypasta' are little online ghost-stories, tales of the weird and strange, the urban legends of the Internet. Sometimes it'll be collections of eerie anecdotes, other times entire sites dedicated to one tale... and sometimes it's just the truly bizarre - websites filled with symbols, flash animations of patterns & waves, random things that pop up while surfing the underbelly of the 'net.
This is what I do to myself when it's 4:30am and my husband has already gone to bed... and the wind is in the chimney.
(Don't worry - none of these are the kind of thing you are supposed to stare at until Linda Blair comes screeching at your face)
Some of my favorites:
-Dionaea House
-Essex Mountain Sanatorium
- The Enigma of Amigara Fault - comic book/manga by Junji Ito
- this ain't your mama's eBay
- Ransom Rigg's photography of abandoned places
accounts of events, fictional, factional or of unknown origin:
- The Wyoming Incident
or video/art projects:
- Magibon
- 99 Rooms
- Begotten by Elias Merhige
- Louis Wain's descent into psychosis... with cats
or sites that hit the Whack-Job Threshold
- behold, the timecube
- this man
A lot of the sites I have are old (and from the good ol' days of encyclopedia dramatica), which is why I'm constantly seeking new creepypasta. Ted the Caver was one of my favorites, but the full site has been taken down & I can't find a cached version anywhere. Shaye St. John was also good for a laugh.
Ah well, the sun's up
