Spooky Sites

From where on the Wired do you get your spooks these days, Lain? /x/ was my go-to source, but it's gone from being a horror/paranormal investigation board to being a dumping ground for the worst content being produced by occultists, schizophrenics, and heavy drug users. I like my spooky content to read more like an episode of the X-Files than a mad rant, if you know what I mean. Even the scary pictures threads on /x/ have more joke posts and derailing than actual scary pictures. It's like the well (by which I mean the complex collection of factors that converged to create large amounts of good content only a few years ago) has dried up. I have yet to find a replacement. Can you point me in the right direction?

The pickings are very slim these days. Slenderman, Zalgo, SCP, the Calganon 200, Ted's Caving Page, the Dionaea House, I Found A Digital Camera In The Woods, all the classics are a long time ago now. There's something new from the Dionaea House guy: https://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/2hi7e6/information_im_dumping_here_for_safekeeping/ And here's the obscure granddaddy of /x/, Teddy Jean-Phillipe's Les Documents Interdicts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRh2S2GDqgA

>>11173 http://sentimentalcorp.org/ - There's this. Relatively old and content hasn't been updated in a while (besides the music), but you may not've seen it yet

I dont know of any specific site for that, but here is an interesting article that might help you find other things for your reading pleasure. https://www.conspiracyarchive.com/UFOs/UFO_Ritual_Magic.htm

>>11173 >It's like the well www.well.com is spooky. It's been around since the birth of the Internet. The WELL has users in important roles all over. > Over the years, WELL members have made fast friends, created enduring traditions, gathered casually face-to-face in cities ’round the world, and provided mutual support. They have founded organizations like the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Craig’s List, and documented what was emerging in books like Howard Rheingold’s The Virtual Community, John Seabrook’s Deeper, and Katie Hafner’s The WELL. They have gone into business together, fallen in and out of love, cultivated feuds, taken kickass vacations together and enriched lives. In the past some of its pages even alluded to its users being part of some conspiracy that reaches across the entire internet. In the early days of the internet, The WELL was the majority of the content online, like a primordial chan, but with real verified names. This soykaf has got to be an INTEL goldmine / honeypot. One theory states The Well was originally meant to attract new influential "thinkers" and bring them online to affect change in the world as some kind of primordial breeding ground for PSYOPS, and innovation gatekeeping. >most of the content and interaction takes place within one of the most noted “walled gardens” in the world. The bottom line is that members know it’s our ongoing, semi-private interaction that matters. JOIN US. Strong "one of us, one of us" vibes. It's the precursor to the Burning Man cult of Silicon Valley, which if you haven't researched you don't know how the world really works... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7vrqMQgfus Burning Man has ties to the foundation of US Army PSYOPs, The Church of Satan, strange graveyard shenanigans, and accusations of pedo rapists (army base conveniently burned down before court investigations could begin). The Burning Man event is designed to be a social experiment, similar to an old occultist "ordeal", after which you're bonded to the fellows of the fold. No one gets a leg up in Silicon Valley without being in the "Burner" club; It's like an initiation. TL;DR: My spoops come from researching reality now; illuminating "spooks" (spies) and real PSYOPs. All the world is a stage / the world is not as it has been presented. The rabbit hole is one helluva drug.

>>11402 > The WELL > it's been described as "the world's most influential online community" in a Wired Magazine cover story, and "the Park Place of email addresses" by John Perry Barlow. It's won Dvorak and Webby Awards, inspired songs and novels, and almost invisibly influences modern culture. > Almost invisibly influences modern culture. > invisibly influences > culture This is demonstrable, with popular writers and innovators being members, yet you haven't heard about it until now, lain... Think about that.

>>11176 this place is schizo as fuarrrk but it's still really interesting as an art piece on sociology and psychology. also there's this soykafhole but you've probably heard of it because lain https://fauux.neocities.org/login.html https://mebious.neocities.org/ http://angusnicneven.com/

http://973-eht-namuh-973.com/ Here's a classic

>>11418 >angusnicneven.com Ah, thank you, Lain. I was not aware of this one. It reminds me of Yume Nikki.

>>11422 It has a feel of YN at the start, but after reading a little, it has a feeling of an old style SCP.

can't forget this classic http://www.mouchette.org/

to be honest nothing spooks me anymore really besides bad acid trips and the occasional nightmare. I miss being spooked by online stuff, its weird I have a friend whos scared easily and I always forget and il show her something mildly creepy and she wont be able to look at it. Like if I even just talk about ghosts even in a non scary way she freaks out, I wish I still had that. Instead I totally desensitized myself to spooks. I think anything that could spook me at this point would just make me disgusted or shocked instead cause itd probably be snuff films or something and thankfully im resensitized to violence. the last thing that scared me was I think funnily enough the rave monkey from yume nikki. I dont know why it scared the soykaf out of me.

I don't have a site to post, but this is some of the best spooky content I've found in a while: https://youtube.com/watch?v=WTLpjAxgSz8. It's a guy talking about his encounter with a werewolf-like creature. To my ear, he sounds pretty sincerely freaked out, which can be faked, but it's thrilling, all the same. If anyone has anything else like this, please share it with us.

>>11728 Even weirder is the fact that there are many episodes of that podcast with many people claiming to have had encounters, and yet pretty much all dogman activity on the Wired seems to be constrained to that podcast. Some of them sound like they're faking, but some of them sound more credible. I suppose this is the same as the much older Bigfoot phenomenon, where there's either a freaky ape thing out there or a bizarre psychosocial complex that is causing a myth to persist. Whether it's true or false, I think the dogman is an interesting development from the werewolf myth. At first, the horror of the werewolf is in the fact that it's a human who has become a beast, but the dogman reverses that by saying that this apparently manlike beast is not human and never was, which makes you ask uncomfortable questions. There does seem to be some amount of compatibility between the werewolf and the dogman, though, as there seems to be a trend of these "witnesses" claiming to have seen them on full moon nights. Even that can be explained by saying that these "natural" creatures just use the bright moon to see by and so increase their levels of activity. Anyway, I might just be gullible, but it's enough to make me wonder about it all, which is what I usually hope for with spooky stories on the Wired.

Here's something that was just posted in our very own /music/ board: https://youtu.be/KrQNh5YApig. I don't know what to make of it, but maybe one of you will.
