DON'T BE AFRAID, UNCLE MATT'S HERE
TO TELL YOU A BED TIME STORY!
And that's how you set the tone for a video.
So, creepypastas have become incredibly popular
in recent years.
A creepypasta is an urban legend or scary story
that circulates around the Internet.
It's essentially like a scary campfire story
before the digital age.
And just like traditional urban legends,
most people write these off as ghost stories,
simply the product of a creative mind.
But there will always be those out there who ask
"What if it really happened?"
So, because I've been reading creepypastas
so much lately, I figured I would gather
the freakiest ones to share with you all.
So here they are,
The 10 Freakiest Creepypastas Ever Told.
Oh, and if you're watching this at night,
you may want to rethink your choice, just sayin'.
Number one is 1999.
This story, simply known as 1999,
is about a Canadian blogger named Elliott
who decides to investigate a low-budget TV show
that he used to watch in 1999
that only aired for a few episodes.
One episode, called "Playing With Scissors",
featured live-action hands on a table.
The episode immediately turned dark
as one of the hands repeatedly stabbed
a smaller hand with a pair of scissors
while a muffled child's scream
could be heard in the background.
The next episode, called "Mr. Bear's Cellar",
featured a mentally unstable man who
dressed up as a character called Mr. Bear
and did things so disturbing
that I can't even mention them here.
Eventually, police investigated
and shut down the sadistic show,
but by that time the damage had been done
to anyone who saw the morbid episodes.
See that, we're starting the episode on a positive note.
Number two is "The Rake".
In 2006 a team of researchers unearthed
nearly two dozen documents dating
from the 12th century to the present day,
describing a creature known only as The Rake.
They were filled with
various people's encounters with this creature.
One couple described their encounter as follows.
The couple awoke in the middle of the night
to discover sitting at the foot of their bed,
facing away from them, a creature that looked like
a half human, half big hairless dog.
The creature suddenly sprang up,
crouched in front of the husband's face
and sprung towards their children's bedrooms.
The couple immediately ran after it,
but by then it was too late.
The couple found their daughter mutilated
and close to death, with her final words being
"He is The Rake."
Remember that one when you go to bed tonight.
Number three is "Where the Bad Kids Go".
A photographer decided to research an old children's show
that he used to watch as a child in wartime Lebanon.
The half hour show relied on graphic imagery
and scare tactics to keep kids from misbehaving.
The closing scene of every episode featured
a slow zoom towards an old rusted iron door.
And as it got closer screams could be heard
coming from the other side as the text
"That's where the bad kids go" popped up in Arabic.
The photographer was able to find the studio
where the old show was filmed,
and despite being abandoned for a long time,
was actually able to find the famous old rusted door.
But he was not prepared for what was on the other side.
Upon entering the door, he discovered an empty room
covered in blood, feces and bones
with a caged microphone hanging
from the middle of the room.
Yep, just one more reason
to do what your parents say, kiddies.
Number four is "The Other Watcher".
There was once a man who
checked into a hotel for a few nights.
After getting his key from the woman at the front desk,
she mentioned that he'll be passing a room with no number
and that he should not try to enter the room
or even look inside.
By the second night the man was so intrigued
that he decided to look through the keyhole of the room.
What he found was a very pale woman in an empty room
standing in the corner.
That night he returned to his room.
But on the third night he decided
to look through the keyhole again.
But this time all he saw was the color red.
Nothing else, just a constant deep shade of red.
He then returned to the front desk where the woman
asked if he had looked through the keyhole.
The man admitted that he did
and the woman sighed, saying that many years ago
a man murdered his wife in that very room
and that her ghost now haunts it.
He ghost is said to be very pale,
except for her eyes which are bloodshot red, yeah.
Number five is "The SCP Foundation".
The Secure, Contain and Protect Foundation
first appeared in 2007 and is made up of
numerous doctors, researchers and agents.
Their goal is to understand and catalog
abnormal creatures and objects known as SCPs.
The SCP website describes the discovery
of many disturbing creatures,
including one creature known
as the SCP 173 or The Sculpture.
It's a statue-like creature that has a bloody face
and short limbs that must be constantly observed
or it will immediately kill its victim
by breaking its neck as soon as eye contact is broken.
There are several articles and videos on the Internet
about the SCP and its creatures, including The Sculpture.
But you should only check them out if you're constipated
cuz you gonna crap yo pants!
Number six is "Jeff The Killer".
Jeff was a little boy that moved
into a new home with his family.
One day three teenagers attacked Jeff and his brother,
but Jeff defeated them leaving them in the street
with broken wrists and knife wounds.
Unfortunately, that encounter made Jeff realize
that he enjoyed inflicting pain on others.
One night soon after, Jeff's mother heard crying
coming from the bathroom of their house.
When she entered the room, she found Jeff
carving a permanent smile into his cheeks.
He had also cut off his eyelids
so that he could avoid sleep.
His final words to his mother were
"Mommy, you lied."
After which he murdered his entire family
and disappeared into the night.
Jeff was never seen again, but as legend has it,
he's still out there looking for his next victim.
You may wanna look behind you.
Number seven is "Wake Up".
In the past it's been reported
that some victims of torture, during the act,
would retreat into a fantasy world
from which they could not wake up.
In this catatonic state, the victim lived
in a world just like the normal one,
except they weren't being tortured.
The only way that they realized
that they needed to wake up
was a note that they found in their fantasy world.
It would tell them about their condition
and tell them to wake up.
Even then it would often take months
until they were ready to discard their fantasy world
and wake up.
I'll let you think about that one.
Number eight is "Slender Man".
The slender man is a mythical ghoul
often depicted as a tall, thin figure
wearing a black suit and a blank face.
The creature can cause insomnia, paranoia
and memory loss and is known
to distort photographs and video.
It's known for killing children almost exclusively
and if you ever see him, it's already too late.
It's rumored to have been alive for centuries
and even has mythology dating back to Roman times.
There are several popular games that have risen
based on the slender man story,
including Slender: The Eight Pages.
Feel free to play it at night with the lights off,
because the Slendy Reaction Video
is always priceless.
(ominous music and distant drum beat)
Hmm.
Number nine is "Robert the Doll".
Robert the doll is a real life doll
that many say is cursed.
The doll was given to artist Robert Eugene Otto
in the late 1800s by a servant
working in his family's home.
The doll, which he named after himself,
took on a life of its own and terrorized his family.
Disturbingly, Robert kept the doll into adulthood
and it terrorized his wife leading her to insanity.
The doll now resides in the
Fort East Martello Museum in Key West, Florida.
As rumor has it, visitors must ask Robert politely
if they wanna take his photo.
It they take his photo without permission,
or mock him in any way,
Robert is said to lay a curse on that person.
And I have no idea how far this doll's reach is,
so I'm going to say "I respect this doll and he is awesome."
Moving on.
And number 10, "Ben Drowned".
This story is about a supposedly haunted copy
of the game The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
for the Nintendo 64.
A young man received a suspicious looking
Majora's Mask cartridge from an old man,
and upon playing it noticed
that there was a saved file named "Ben".
Upon playing that saved file,
all kinds of weird things started happening,
including the text in the game displaying incorrectly
and the music started playing backwards.
The game continued to do all kinds of really bizarre things
that eluded to a boy named Ben that drowned
that was now communicating through the game.
The game even started displaying bizarre messages like
"You shouldn't have done that",
"Ben is getting lonely" and
"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"
After he started to get really freaked out,
this guy recorded the game play
and all of the footage is on YouTube.
But I warn you, the footage is really freaky
and really bizarre.
So if you watch it, it may just ruin
all the good memories you had of that game.
So yeah, enjoy.
And that's it for this time, guys.
