Reddit… this is a website on the internet that I know for certain causes sleep deprivation
because it’s subreddits are just so addicting.
They are guaranteed to keep you up at night because they are just down right terrifying.
How’s it going YouTube?
I’m your host, Landon Dowlatsingh and welcome back to another most amazing video.
Today we are going to venture into the dark corners of Reddit, so if you’re brave enough,
come along with me as i break down the top 10 scary subreddits that will keep you up
at night.
Let’s get this list started in at number 10 with humanoid encounters.
This subreddit features stories about people who have encounters with beings that resemble
humans but something is just a little bit off…so just to be clear, humanoids are creatures
that have the general shape of a human so they’ll have arms, legs, torso and a head.
But they aren’t actually considered human.
For example, we have bigfoot, robots, aliens and maybe even some people like mark zuckerberg.
One reddit user talked about seeing a weird creature in the middle of the road.
They were driving down a long road with a forest on one side and a cornfield on the
other.
All of a sudden, an unidentifiable creature ran across the road, causing them to slam
on their breaks.
It looks like a the size of a grown man but he was covered in dark hair.
And then we have another story about a teenager who opend his eyes while sleeping to find
a shadow creature was over top of him.
He said he felt like the creature was scanning or feeding on him but he wasn’t able to
move.
He woke up about two hours later untouched but he never saw the shadow creature ever
again.
Breaking into number 9 we have Creepy Wikipedia.
If you’re like me, and you love falling into a Wiki-hole, then i’m positive that
you are going to love this subreddit.
It is full of scary wikipedia pages that will probably haunt your dreams.
Let’s take a look at some of the most terrifying pages that I stumbled across.
First we have the murder of Junko Furuta.
She was 17 when she was kidnapped by four boys amd they took her to one of their homes
where she was beaten, tortured and worse for 40 long days.
The boys put her body into a huge drum and filled it with concrete.
Apparently the parents knew what their son was doing but they were too afraid to call
the cops because they didn’t know what their son might do to them.
Some other creepy wikipedia pages that are worth mentioning are the black eyed children,
the boy in the box and the list of unusual deaths.
There are hundreds of other creepy wikipedia pages so you’ll most likely be up all night
reading about them.
TheChills makes it onto this list in at number 8.
This subreddit has a ton of scary stories.
No seriously, there are enough scary stories to last you an entire lifetime.
The coolest part about this subreddit is that all of these stories HAVE to be original and
they are all under 300 words.
So if you’re in the mood for a quick scare, then I would highly recommend this forum.
One of the scariest stories that I have seen from here was titled a letter from a killer.
Apparently someone actually got a letter in the mail from a serial killer and he was talking
about all of his dark and gruesome killing methods.
He talked about all of his murders and how his victims were foaming at the mouth.
He even talked about how they were bleeding from their eyes and praying for him to let
them live.
If that’s not creepy enough...at the end he said “maybe i feel guilty or maybe i
was feeling bored and have already doses you with my lethal white tablet from this letter.”
This is why I don’t like getting mail.
A glitch in the matrix confuses us all in at number 7.
If you believe that the whole word is just one huge computer simulation that this is
the place for you!
Or it might be the worst place, because you will spend countless hours on here freaking
yourself out.
I find this topic to be extremely interesting.
One of the most memorable post from here is about a guy who regained an extra day or when
this other guy had an extremely realistic dream about his friend dying.
In his dream his friend said that one day our time will be up and we need to make the
most of it.
He woke up the next morning and he was so freaked out that he called his friend to tell
him about the dream.
Two days later his friend’s parents called him and said that he died suddenly in his
sleep.
So basically, this guy had a dream that his friend died, told him about it and then he
died...coincidence?
Or computer simulation?
The Truth is here and this takes us to number 6.
This is probably the most strange subreddit on this list.
From random and weird encounters to people convinced that a demon is following them,
this subreddit is your go to if you’re in the mood for strange stories.
Someone on this forum was talking about how they’ve been having weird hallucinations
everything that they are in bed.
She can see that her boyfriend is asleep next to her but then she’ll also see him standing
at the door, with an evil grin just watching her as she’s lying down in bed.
Each night he does something else extremely weird so she’s having a tough time with
distinguishing her reality with hallucinations.
Another person talked about how they feel like they are being either possessed by a
demon or followed by one.
She will have these really strange thoughts and urges to do something evil and she can’t
seem to control it.
And then there are a ton of stories about sleep paralysis too which is absolutely terrifying.
Creeping its way into number 5 we have Paranormal.
This entire forum is about scary paranormal activity that happened in real life.
What could be scarier than that?
I actually have my own paranormal story that I should add to this page.
During my birthday weekend, we rented an AirBNB.
My wife and friends thought it would be a good idea to break out the Ouija board.
But when they were playing it, they were able to contact an really scary spirit who was
able to answer personal questions that no one else knew.
One of my friends who wasn’t even touching the board asked it something personal and
it got the date exactly right.
We were all pretty skeptical so everyone took their hands off of the planchette and it kept
moving.
I’m pretty sure we should probably burn the board now or go swim in some holy water
after that incident.
But yeah, if this kind of stuff interests you, then you should check out this paranormal
subreddit because it is full of these stories.
ScardShitless brings us to number 4.
If you’re into scary gifs, videos and pictures then this subreddit is for you.
Once you find yourself in this forum, you will find it extremely hard to leave because
it is very scary.
I’m pretty sure this is the place where nightmares are conjured up.
They have a little bit of everything; from skinwalker stories, scary cabin in the woods
stories to devil encounters, if you’re looking to never sleep again, then you definitely
want to check this out.
Here’s a little taste of what you might expect.
There’s a lot more where that came from trust me, it’s like going down a dark and
twisted rabbit hole full of scary images and videos.
NoSleep subreddits make it onto this list in at number 3.
This specific forum features a lot of original horror stories that don’t have a word count.
So that means that you could get lost going down a long dark path of these creepy stories.
And based on its name, you definitely won’t be getting much sleep after reading some of
them.
These subreddits rely on the fear of the unknown to send chills down your spine so trust me,
you won’t be disappointed.
Have you guys heard of the smiling man?
His saga is originally a no sleep subreddit story that has been turned into a short film.
And the story goes like this, a man who had trouble falling asleep, used to pass the time
by taking long night walks in his neighborhood.
He went on his walks each night for five years until one night he saw a silhouette of a man
strangely dancing and he was headed straight for the man.
He took his eyes off of the creepy dancer to cross the street but once he looked back,
he was stopped dead in his tracks.
The figure stopped dancing and he was staring at the man with a huge, evil smile.
He just stood there in the street, smiling.
After what felt like forever, he finally turned around and slowly started to dance away.
But then he was coming back towards the man, but this time he was running.
The man ran too and thankfully he was able to barely escape from the smiling man’s
evil grin.
And now coming into number 2 we have Unsolved Mysteries.
This one ranks so high on our list because it is full of unsolved mysteries that you’ve
probably never heard of.
Have you actually wondered how many serial killers are still on the loose?
The FBI estimates that there are between 25-50 serial killers operating throughout the US
at any given time.
And did you know that the average person walks past at least 16 murderers in their lifetime.
Isn’t that insane!
No wonder there are a ton of unsolved mysterious out there.
So if you want to have an unspeakable amount of paranoia and fear incorporated into your
daily life, then I would highly suggest that you spend some time on this subreddit.
Topping our list in at number 1 we have LetsNotMeet.
These stories focus on terrifying encounters people have had with strangers.
This subreddit is creepy because it is full of real-life encounters that people have shared
because they were shaken to their core.
These stories are legitimately scary because they can actually happen to you.
One Reddit user talked about her close encounter with a real life serial killer.
One night she was driving back from Colorado to Arizona when she noticed that a red truck
was following her.
He flashed his lights and began to honk the horn.
The woman thought that there must be something wrong with her car so she decided to pull
over on the deserted highway.
But even though she was pulled over, the man kept honking his horn and flashing his lights.
That’s when she knew something wasn’t right.
The man got out of his truck and started to run towards her.
She immediately jumped back in her car and sped off.
The next exit was about 45 miles away and he followed her the entire time.
Eventually he kept on driving and left her behind but fast forward to about 5 or 6 years
later.
She was watching unsolved mysterious and there was a story about a man that would go on that
same deserted highway with his red truck and use those same tactics to get women to pull
over so that he could murder them.
Wow, how insane is that?
I guess the moral of the story here is never pull over for anyone while driving on a deserted
highway.
