Welcome back to Creepcast
We're here with a very sick
There you go hammer it up
He says he's sick
He told me just before I did
I've tried to preach my voice that loud
Look yesterday I was so sick that I was like a small heater
I was like a generator just shivering
In the corner of the couch
It was disgusting, but I can talk now, so I'm better.
Do you think that part of the sickness has to do with the second half of Barasca?
Do you think that it has anything to do with your illness?
I think this is certainly some kind of karma, if that's what you think.
If everyone was very upset, that, and I was really, if you think about it, I was the criminal in that whole ordeal,
because I'm like, oh, let's, come on, Hunter, there's this fun little creepy pasta called Barrasca.
You'll love it, so this is cosmic justice.
I will say, there has been quite the response on it.
You know, typically people, you know, we get like 3,000, 4,000 comments, whatever.
It's been a day, and there's been already almost like 10,000 comments.
Yeah. People, you know, it is, it's a hard thing.
It's unbelievable, though.
There was a lot of people who were in my shoes, so I feel vindicated at least that people were like, I was right there with them.
Yeah.
So I feel happy.
And most of those like 10,000 comments.
comments are like vaguely veiled threats.
It's mostly kind of like, this is, what did you do?
What did you just wrote me into?
That is true.
A hunter's innocent.
I'm sorry, but look, I'm paying for it now.
My throat hurts a lot.
So, you know what?
We'll call it even.
Okay, so no more.
I think it's even.
Yeah, no more being sick.
We're good.
Yeah, come on.
What is the extent here?
I mean, let's listen to that deathly cough.
Which, you know, I will say, today we are doing a bit of a pallet cleanser.
This is a shorter, you know, but,
Still a good one from the No Sleep subreddit again.
And the title of this one, at least the subject line is,
My Dead Girlfriend Keeps Messaging Me on Facebook.
I've got the screenshots.
I don't know what to do.
Which already from that, once again, I'm going in blind.
I don't know.
Isaiah, have you seen this one?
Or have you read this one?
I think, so this story came out like 2012, if I remember right?
2013, something like that.
Oh, another old one, okay.
It's another old one.
I remember listening to, like, Mr. Crepepasta's audio version of this when it happened.
But I haven't looked at this story in like a decade.
So I remember almost nothing about it.
Okay.
This is one of the classics.
This is one of the classics, though.
Like, there's a few old creepypasta that kind of got passed around the internet, like early campfire stories, you know, so to speak, like these short little slices of horror.
And this is one of the OGs, as a lot of people remember.
So it's a classic, like I said.
For posts like this, because obviously the no sleep suburb has to still be.
It's an active place, right?
It seems like around this time, though,
how many of these do you think,
with especially like a title,
My Dead Girlfriend keeps messaging me on Facebook,
I've got the screenshots,
I don't know what to do.
It's like a plea for help.
It almost seems like it's setting up
that this is supposed to be real.
Yeah.
Do you think, does that,
do posts like this still even happen,
or is it too?
Oh, it happens all the time.
Well, remember,
one of the rules of no sleep
is that it has to appear
that the story made it to the board
in some, like, logical way.
So there's a lot of people who act as if they're someone looking for help coming to the website.
Because that's an easy way to, you know, lead into the framework, so to speak.
But if you, like, go to the subreddit right now and scroll through, there are dozens and dozens of scary stories with the title, you know, something similar to that.
Okay.
Well, yeah, I'm glad that that torch is still being passed along.
I love it.
This is fun.
I mean, once again, you know, it really makes me, it really shows.
It's very telling that a lot of these I've never heard of.
So a lot of these I'm going in as a very helpless little dove, all right?
So I don't know.
It's a nice thing to feel like if you're hearing this for the first time, we are in the same boat.
I am a newbie when it comes to a lot of this stuff, so it's fun.
I'm excited to get into it.
So without further ado, why don't we just dive on in?
Let's get into it.
Let's dive right in.
Do you want to take the first section or me?
I will.
I'll take it, which it starts off by saying,
tonight's kind of a catalyst for this post.
I just received another message
and it's worse than any of the others
My girlfriend died on the 7th of August
2012
Yeah she was at the LMFAO
Album Release Party at Best Buy
She got tripled
All right
She was involved
She was involved in the three car
Like all right
All right
I know those gets you going
Too early, too early
Too early, too early
She was involved in a three car collision
Driving home from work
when someone ran a red light.
She passed away within minutes on the scene.
We had been dating for five years at this point.
She wasn't big on the idea of marriage.
It felt archaic, she said, gave her a weird vibe.
But if she had been, I would have married her within three months of our relationship.
She was vibrant, the kind of girl that would choose dare every time.
She was happiest when camping, but a total technophile.
She always smelled like cinnamon.
That's a very odd way to end that deal.
I just want to say that.
I don't think you can go from, she was the, she was happiest when camping.
Hey, she loved technology.
And my God, she smelled like cinnamon.
This just feels like a, she smelled like cinnamon.
She smells sweet.
Yeah, how would you describe what she smelled like in your...
I'm trying to think about how I even describe the smell of my wife.
This feels weird.
It feels weird to put like a deal like, my wife smells like applesauce.
Yeah, there's no, there's, no, there's, my wife wears like vanilla, like, perfumes
and stuff like that a lot.
So I would say vanilla, but that's weird.
Even though there's logical reasons, it's weird to say, my wife smells like vanilla.
Yeah, it's just like, okay, are you going to eat her?
It only feels applicable if it's like, it's like, it's applicable, if it's just odd.
She smells like Calvin Klein Cologne.
She smells like wrangler jeans.
Yeah, regardless of how acceptable your reasoning is, it's a weird thing to say.
It's just odd.
Yeah, yeah.
It doesn't matter.
But that being said, here's the thing.
She wasn't perfect.
She always said something along the lines of,
if I kark it first, don't just say good things about me.
I've never liked that.
If you don't pay me out, you're doing me a disservice.
I've got so many flaws.
And that's just part of me.
So this is for M.
The music she said she liked,
and the music she actually liked were very different.
Her idea of affection was a side hug.
She had really long toes like a chimpanzee.
Okay. Once again, the ends of these paragraphs, the ends of these paragraphs are dead on, I just let's say she's got long toes. Oh, that's so funny.
If you, bro. If you combine the last sentences together, it would say she always smelled like cinnamon. She had long, really long toes like a chimpanzee. Right? Just want to say, I don't know. I don't know. I like that.
dude when you're coming to a supposedly you're coming to a board to talk about your dead girlfriend message and you a very like scary you know haunting topic and in your introduction you're like a she had long toes she was like a chimp even almost like bro yeah she smelled like cinnamon she smelled like a bundle of cinnamon sticks you know during christmas not to keep referencing previous episodes but this is how i imagine kyle from barasca would talk about kimber this is definitely some kyle Kyle the kimber thing yo your toes are mad at
long.
You know, hand me that remote with your foot.
I just want to see if it's possible.
Those dogs are barking.
But I don't feel right about discussing her without you having an idea of what she was like.
On to the meat.
M. had been dead for approaching 13 months when she first messaged me, which is just kind of
interesting here because now we're getting something.
There's a clickable link and it says September 4th, 2013, and it opens an image to a
Facebook messenger.
Yep.
and at on what is that September 4th at 331 she says hello
Nathan says who who is this I'm really it's really weird receiving messages from
Emily's account there's a 331 immediately at 340 he put two question marks and said
okay well well in the future please send me a message from an account even if you
want to discuss her page and then on the 9th 4th or 4 minutes later at 344 she put
hello again and then 345 Nathan
says,
Susan,
your own
Emily's account?
So it's just,
it's just like
Emily's old account
messaging hello
over and over again.
And he says,
this is when it began.
I left Emily's
Facebook account activated
so I could send her
the occasional message,
post on her wall
and go through her albums.
It felt too final
and to unemily
and to unemily,
whatever.
Like it wouldn't be
like Emily
to memorialize the page.
That's not something
she'd want.
Yeah.
yeah it would have been too un-emily like to memorialize it so i share access with her mother
susan meaning her mother has her login and password and has spent a total of approximately three
minutes on the website or on a computer in total and after a little confusion i assumed it was her
which then we do a nice big jump to november 16th 2013 i will i will add one detail i like
about that screenshot is like he's obviously referencing emily starting to message him which is the start
of the story. But if you look at the previous messages above, you can see that, like,
he was sending her messages, like, after she died. And it is very heartbreaking. I've heard
that a lot, someone who loses a loved one, kind of texting them the last few things they wanted
to say. Yeah. And it's like, it's a nice note for the story, like a nice little note of
authenticity, makes the characters feel more real, even though he did say that she smells like
cinnamon. It makes it feel more legitimate. So it's a nice touch. I like that. Yeah, it's always
I mean, that's always like a tragic part of a story is whenever it's like you, you text
somebody's phone or something and it's nice to know that it got sent.
And then when you find out that like you text it one day and it says this number isn't
in service anymore, it's just kind of like a stake to the heart kind of thing.
So it's nice to feel like this character still has an outlet to talk to this person that they
really care that they really cared for.
Yeah.
And it is nice too.
Like it doesn't just start immediately.
He doesn't just screenshot, you know, the new messages.
There's still a little bit in there too.
It's just a nice little bit of optimistic here.
more legitimate.
Yeah, I agree.
And, you know, we skip a couple months to November, and on November 16th, 2013, we get another hyperlink, another text chat here.
Emily says, hello, let's hit up blank trail this Sunday.
Nathan responds, who is this?
And Emily says, the wheels on the bus.
Oh, come on.
Nathan says, please tell me who you are.
You know, please tell me who you are.
wheels on the bus car do you think that that's only do you think that like in text
form that just feels like maybe if it's an audio thing and it's just a little person being like
the wheels on the bus go around right maybe that maybe that could be perceived as like uh weird
but yeah please tell me he's just like please tell me who you are which um yeah i don't know
i mean i'll see i'm not going to judge it too hard you know i'm not going to i'm not going to do it
but i will say i do like the idea of uh just a conversation just randomly starting again a couple
months later and also be so direct by being like hey let's go to this trail again this weekend
whatever and it's just like who who is this because at this point too it's like why would susan
keep doing this and not respond right yeah it's like it's even if it is the mother having access
this is a really weird behavior to text your dead daughter's like girlfriend after he after she's
been dead or your dead daughter's boyfriend after she's been dead for over a year yeah it is
In his description for that screenshot, he says,
I'd received confirmation from Susan
that she hadn't logged into Em's Facebook
since the week of her death.
M knew a lot of people, so I instantly assumed
this was one of her more tech-savvy friends,
messing with me in the worst possible way.
I noticed pretty much immediately
that whoever was chatting with me
was recycling old messages from M and mine's shared chat history.
And then he has a screenshot
where you can see that,
the message let's hit up the trail this Sunday
is from an old message that
she sent back in March of 2012
so it seems like whoever is messaging him
is using recycled stuff from their
previous conversation. The
Wheels on the bus comment was from when
we were discussing songs to play on a road trip
that never eventuated.
Hello happened a million times.
Hmm. That is
kind of interesting because
I don't know. Now it comes
into a situation too where it's just like
this is like a sadistic prank. Yeah.
Because having the justification that he's like, oh, I'm going to copy this message and just see.
And then it does have an exact result and stuff.
But what's weird, though, is with that, he doesn't specifically say that the Wheels on the Bus comment that they said, that that was specified in the conversation, right?
So that could have been a personal discussion they had.
I feel like he probably would have had another screenshot if he had that kind of thing.
So it feels odd that that person would also know about that conversation.
Once again, it could be a close friend, but it just feels odd.
That part feels a bit weird to me.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's extra, like, we're getting drip-fed more strange details,
but different options become more and more, like, hard to believe as the story goes on.
It goes from like, oh, maybe it's her mom to maybe it's someone messing with me,
and now it's getting like, you'll see, you'll see as we keep going.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Which, do you want to get this one?
Yeah, yeah, I'll do this.
So around 2014, Emily started.
tagging herself in my photos. I would get notifications for them, but the tag would generally
always be removed by the time I got to it. The first time I actually caught one, it felt like
someone had punched me in the gut. She would tag herself in spaces where it was plausible for her
to be or where she would usually hang out. I've got screenshots of two from April and June. These are
the only ones I've caught, so they're a little out of the timeline I'm trying to write out.
And then he includes two screenshots. So it's a face.
Facebook post, and again, whoever this user is on Emily's account, is tagging herself
in his images in just these blank spots where, as he said, someone might be, but they aren't.
Also, just side note.
All right.
What, what?
Go ahead.
I mean, are you looking at this image?
What?
Which one?
The first one?
The screenshot he put.
So it's like the selfie with the face blacked out and then like the comments on the door back
there.
The door with the, with the.
the face. Okay, so the face is not where the tag is. I was looking at this trying to wonder if it's
saying that's Emily that that face over there is her or if that's just like a thing in the back. It's
clearly creepy. Like it's supposed to be creepy, whatever it is, right? Right. It's supposed to be
something to best with you. I don't know if because the text box is off of it, if it's saying that
is or she's it. I also don't know how Facebook works. I've never had it. So if the box is right
there, does that mean they're specifically tagging that one spot like an Instagram tag?
Yeah, I mean, you have to, like, consciously choose a spot.
So it could be something where it's like, I mean, I'm almost reading this as almost as if, like, she's in, like, maybe like a spiritual form there.
And then maybe is that supposed to be like, I don't know, this JPEG creepy face in the darkness.
It's supposed to be like a demon or something or like some kind of entity that's like with her or something.
You know what I mean?
Because if not, I mean, to be fair, I think, I wonder if the author of this also realizes, like, if I put this tag box on.
this, like, compressed image.
That might be a bridge too far.
Yeah, like, it's like, I'm really playing with fire here.
But if I scoot the tag box over a few inches.
Yeah, now it's a mystery.
Now a conversation's happened.
Now it's nuanced storytelling.
Perfect.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now I'm doing subversing the norm.
And then in the other one, it's literally just like him on a couch next to a tag box.
but basically
this Emily person
whoever is controlling the account
keeps tagging herself in his photos
and if you want to take it from there
the rest of that section
which I will say in the second photo
where it's just
him in the tag whatever
I mean like to me
this is like this is more
this is way more creepy
it works better
the idea of just like it's a very casual thing
and it's like oh I'm sitting here next to you
to me even if someone was messed with me
I'd be like this is this is pretty fucked up
Like, what is going on?
Why would someone do this?
It feels just, yeah, sadistic.
Which he goes on to say, around this period of time, I stopped being able to sleep.
I was too hungry and angry to sleep.
She would tag herself in random photos every couple of weeks.
The friends who noticed and said something thought it was fucked up.
Thought it was a fucked up bug.
I found out recently, sorry about that.
No, no, no.
I'm laughing because it sounds like it sounds like it's a bug that looks weird, like a physical bug.
Yeah, it's probably just like a moth.
Yeah, you don't have to worry about it, Nathan.
You're freaking out, man.
Hey, man, you ever consider it's just a bug?
You got, like, bugs in your house?
It's probably just a ladybug or like a fire ant.
Don't even worry about it.
I found out recently that there have been friends who have noticed and didn't say anything.
Some of them have removed me from their Facebook's friends list.
Oh, wow.
So because they see some of these tag things, they're probably assuming that he's the one doing it,
and they're probably like, okay, he's going off the deep end.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Of course, yeah. Well, I mean, like, you know a guy,
and then he starts posting pictures and his dead girlfriends tagged in him.
Who would you assume is doing it, you know?
I also, and I don't want to, you know, I don't want to dog pile on this guy.
But even before he gets into this, I mean, he's talking about, like,
his girlfriend smells like cinnamon, she has chimpanzee feed.
I bet it was not hard to press that unfollow button.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I really miss my girlfriend or long-ass toes.
Think what he was saying to her when she was alive, right?
If Widgey's dad, he's like, yeah, she got like chip feet.
I bet he was saying some wild stuff to her while she was around.
Oh my God, M, your breath smells like pizza rolls.
It's like, okay, cool.
Does your boyfriend have to be here?
She's like, yeah.
He went to her funeral the same way Kyle went to Kimber's mom's funeral.
I am under the same impression that this is the same universe and they were best friends.
Yep, absolutely.
Same guy.
Written out of the story because they're like, it's too much.
Yeah, listening to Lincoln Park way too loud.
Yeah. Breaking the habit over and over again.
He just keeps asking for more and more gum.
Yo, can I get another piece of juicy fruit?
Hell yeah, man.
Open up the glove compartment.
Get yourself some.
Yep.
As you just dive live on hair.
I feel like a lung's going to fly up here in a second.
So that'll be cool if that happens.
Stay tuned.
That would be so intense if you actually coughed up an organ.
If I died on camera, yeah, that would be pretty much.
No, no, no, no.
I don't want you to die
I'm just saying
if you coughed up
a little piece of
your lung
because here's
we record this
and I cannot see him
so if something
does horrible happen
I'm gonna be like
okay
come on buddy
and it's just like
a murder scene
over there
and I'm like
all right
I'm gonna
I'm gonna go get like
fake blood and stuff
and start like
pouring it out of my mouth
and then like
whenever you go back
and watch this recording
you'll be like
oh my gosh
yeah
I'm gonna watch the edit
and be like
oh god
he's dead
and I killed him
it's my fault
I'm sorry
I see. I'm sorry.
Which he goes on to say, at this point,
some of you may be wondering why I didn't just
kill my Facebook profile.
I wish I had. I did for a little
while. On days when I can't get out
there, though, it's nice having my friends
available to chat. It's nice visiting
M's page when the little green circle
isn't next to her name. I was already
socially reclusive when M was alive.
Oh, no way. Her death turned me into
something pretty close to a hermit. And Facebook
and MMOs were
and are my only real social outlets.
Oh, God.
You know, I could have guessed that.
This guy is just, he's digging himself a hole.
I could have guessed that.
He's like, you know, it must be kind of weird, but I'm a bit of a social recluse myself.
And Facebook and World Warcraft are my only social outlets.
God, I miss him so much.
I hope it turns out the only reason this is happening is because, like, someone got mad when they found out he plays League of Legends.
So they're like, I'm going to bully him.
this guy.
Yeah, exactly.
They find out they're like, oh my God, this guy, he's like a big league and World
of Warcraft player.
He's like, guilty as charged is what he says.
And we do go on to March 15th.
There's another screenshot.
I am like in the eye, I am like, I'm not going to lie, scrolling through here and
clicking the hyperlinks to open up the old chats.
It's fun.
It's fun.
It's fun.
I like it.
I love these interactive stories like that where there's little stuff.
Like, sure, it may not be the best quality, but I'm having a good time.
Yeah.
No, is it, as an immersive and interactable experience?
Like, it's fun.
It's fun.
It's almost like a choose-your-own-adventure thing,
except it's already pre-chosen for you.
But still, I feel like I have, like I'm like,
okay, we'll open this file.
Okay, well, this is odd.
Well, Nathan, okay.
Which, Nathan, on the March 15th,
he says, I sent what I assumed was Em's Hacker a message,
and he just put, why are you doing this?
Why do you keep tagging her?
So he just, he goes on the offense here.
He's trying to ask the account, what's going on, right?
And then on March the 25th,
It says that he receives an answer.
So in the screenshot we have, Emily says, hello, and then hello, hello, hello, more times over the course of March the 25th.
And Nathan eventually replies, this is actually devastating.
I don't know why you enjoy doing this.
Emily says, oh, and gee, cinnamon, sinned candles.
No, no, cinnamon.
Nathan says, go to hell.
And Emily says, why are you doing this?
Interesting.
So, for one, the sentiment, I'm sure is a reference back, I mean, he'll probably explain
a second, a reference back to the beginning, but the why are you doing this is a message that
he sent.
So now it's copying his messages as well.
I mean, I'm not going to lie.
Having someone just keep harassing you by saying hello is so simple, but it's actually
horrifying.
Yeah, if it's coming from like your dead girlfriend, absolutely.
Yeah, and especially I love the response of this is actually devastating.
I don't know why you enjoyed doing this.
And they just respond with like a quirky, cute answer.
Like, I've said this word a million times, but it is completely sadistic, and it's just, like, maniacal at this point.
Like, if it is a hacker, I mean, now it's like I'm almost even afraid of just the hacker.
Not even the fact that it's like my girlfriend's, and I'm just like, this is just a weird, demented thing.
And to be fair, by this point, would you, if you, this is like your social media profile and this was you, would you delete it already?
Or would you try to, like, get down to who is doing this?
Well, let's see.
If it was Windigoon, I'd probably keep it, because that.
That's my income.
Well, I mean, I'm saying that if you're regular, regular Joe Nathan.
Sure.
If this is just regular Isaiah's Facebook.
I would want to know.
I would have, because if I, if I delete it and never interact with it,
I'd spend the rest of my life like, who was that?
What was happening?
No, that's true.
That's true.
And I think there's something to be said too where it's like,
wonder if it just depends on what day it is.
If some days, if it's just like you're, you feel like you're peeling your skin off,
you know what I mean?
It might just be easier to be like, I'm just not even going to look at it.
Yeah.
But then I feel like you're right.
I feel like it's like a thorn in your side where you would be like, I think it would haunt you if you didn't continuously pursue it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And in his description for that previous screenshot, Nathan says,
it wasn't until I was going over these logs a few months later that I noticed she was recycling my own words as well.
My response seems kind of lackluster here.
I was intentionally providing him or her with emotional bait.
This is actually devastating to keep them interested in their game.
I was working off the assumption that the kind of person to do this would be the kind of person
that would thrive on the distress of others.
I was posting in tech forums, looking for ways to track this person, contacting Facebook.
I needed to keep them around so I could gather evidence.
Before anyone asks, yes, I had changed the password and all security info countless times.
So now he's in the same boat of what we're talking about, like, I have to figure out who this is.
So even his response of like, this is devastating.
is just bait to keep this going.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, that's the thing is, like,
he's trying to set up a trap here.
And, I mean, God, you're setting up a trap, right?
But at the same time,
he's desperately trying to figure out
what exactly is happening.
It's happening.
So it's almost like this desperate attempt
of, like, trying to capture something
that you have no, like,
hopelessly and desperately trying to capture something.
And it kind of sucks.
And also, he probably feels like he's going
insane and he's even like even the last part here where he says before anyone asked yes i had changed
the password insecurity info countless times so he's even trying to like stop people from like
questioning possibly this insanity that he's following through this kind of like hyper fixation
is like a little subtle sprinkle there that i like yeah which on the next one here on the 16th april
he received this this is another hyper deal hyper chain emily uh sent a message on 25th at 254 saying
Why are you doing this, which is from the deal before?
No.
And then on the 16th of April at 12.17 a.m., so pretty much midnight, she responded again, or the count responded and said, we should make our own jam.
JFC, Samantha.
Nah, different.
No chance of passing.
No chance of passing.
How many?
Garage side door.
Side.
I.
No chance of passing.
you know that's actually the first section that's kind of got me a little bit
yeah the idea of like this girl dies and then it's like sections from previous conversations
but it's like the thing that sending them doesn't understand what they mean so it just keeps
rescinding them over and over it's really that's kind of a haunting part i like that that's a good
it's pretty good i do too i mean it was the idea too i said earlier where like i really like the
idea of just the simple hello approach it's like a inhuman thing mimicking a
human conversation, but recycling conversations in random order.
Like, it doesn't know how to actually formulate these thoughts or these, like, conscious
conversations.
It's kind of weird.
His description to that was, this seems like a word salad, like all of our conversations
so far, it's recycled from previous messages she sent.
On the 29th of April, open up another one here.
On 29th, she says, bake beans on toast.
Which now it seems like these are all happening around midnight.
I'm trying to keep, I'm also trying to keep a tally on what time, if there's any correlation with like weird, you know, because people usually say like ghost stuff or like the witching hours, like 3.30 and that kind of stuff.
So I'm trying to see if it's correlating with that at all.
But at 1220, I believe it's going to be midnight.
It doesn't say a.m. or p.m.
But it says, baked beans on toast.
I don't know.
I just said, yo, ask Nathan.
And then it says, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan.
and then Nathan responds about 20 minutes later and says
I don't know what's happening
I don't know how you're still doing this
please stop
and then she responds almost immediately and says
please stop I don't know what's happening
Nathan I don't know what's happening
which is pretty that's actually pretty haunting
that's pretty good that's pretty good
yeah I'm so back I'm in I'm into it
yeah that that got me
I love the idea too of like you asking a question
and then now whenever the person repeats it
it takes on a completely new name
yeah that's that's fun the idea of like i think the implication i'm getting is that whatever
sending these messages is trying to learn how emily would speak or learn what the words mean
so it's like that's why it keeps reusing old messages to see if it gets the same response
and as soon as nathan responds it's it looks like it's starting to put ideas together i don't know
what's happening nathan i don't know what's happening using your dead girlfriend oh that's so good
it's like a it's like a digital skin walker almost yeah i mean here here's
a question I want to ask you. Is there any way where this could be interpreted as her
spirit? And like whenever if your spirit goes on or something like that, could it try
re-contacting you but not be able to like almost like her, like almost like her essence
or spirit is trying to relearn as well? Like it is her trying to contact him and it's
using her own conversations with him to come back. Yeah. Yeah. There was, uh, there was one
culture. I can't remember who it was. It may have just been in some like mysticism related to
Christianity or whatever, anyway, there's this belief that when someone dies, they become a ghost
that has no memories of their life. So the ghost has to learn everything again, as if it's a toddler,
fully grown up. And that supposedly one of the reasons that at haunted locations, you'll see
stuff move, or like say it in the bedroom of someone who died, you'll see like stuff in there
get shifted around, it's because the ghost is trying to relearn its life and touching stuff to
see what, to see what it was or to see what it does. And I kind of get that.
vibe from this.
I mean,
that's haunting
within itself.
Yeah.
If like one of you
pass and then you wake up
and you have no memory,
it's horribly sad.
Yeah.
It also makes me think to
if somebody is,
if they did start and they had no conscious,
like no recollection of before,
but then something even more haunting I'm thinking is
if she slowly begins to realize
where she is and then that's the deal of like,
I don't know what's happening.
Is somebody coming back to realization,
but feeling like they're in a different plane
of existence as a other person feels kind of creepy too.
just kind of like being in the in and out
which to get back to it
his description for this one is
I haven't discovered any leads
Facebook had told me the locations her page
had been accessed from but since her death
they're all places I can account for
my home, my work
her mom's house okay we know where
we know exactly where we are
boo! Bo get them out of here
boo! Boos British people!
Yuck!
My response here
wasn't bait. Yo asked
Nathan was an end joke
too lame worth explaining but seeing her say it again just absolutely crippled me my reaction in real life was much less prettier i'm not expecting my bond back her last few messages her last few messages has started to scare me but i wouldn't admit it at this point so now you it's kind of weird is uh do you think it's kind of weird that by this point he's also saying like he's using the words like she instead of hacker and stuff yeah do you think he's buying into it a point that's a good point i didn't even catch
Yeah, it's like he's, uh, he's starting to see her as Emily almost. That's, oh.
Yeah. I don't, I don't know if he's completely bought in, but at the same time, I think that, like,
in the, the look. Very nice. Well, I've, I've had many, many dead relatives message me before.
I know exactly the signs to look for. I've walked these roads before. I know, I know the stories follow me.
You don't even know how haunting my MySpace messages were with dead family members.
That explains a lot.
Well-versed.
That explains a lot, honestly.
I distinctly remember watching, I think my first introduction to you was the Ed Adenetti video about the gunball.
And I was like, whoever made this had to be an absolute psychopath.
And you know what?
I was right.
Years of having a MySpace page with mudvane songs being the entering page whenever you showed up.
Did not cater to my well-being, I don't think.
Oh, my gosh.
Did you have an insane clown posse song on there at one point?
No, no, no.
I never got into insane clown posse.
I had too much pride.
That is to say, too, if we do have any juggaloes in our fandom here,
I just want to say, you're welcome, but I don't understand you.
I don't know.
You should want to keep the welcome part?
We can tackle that one back.
Okay, or maybe they're not welcome.
You're half.
One of the co-host said you're welcome, so that's a half.
It's a half.
You know, they like bad music, and they, you know, they probably like meth.
I mean, I don't know what I'm supposed to say.
You know what, a different strokes for different folks.
Okay, so the next screenshot is from the 8th of May, and he also gives the hyperlink
the description that he doesn't really have words for this.
This is the following messages.
Again, the first ones from this are on the 5th of May at around 1 p.m. 107 p.m.
when Emily says, I, I, 12, 15, and then at 122, sends a string of messages that says,
my jumper's in the dryer and it's really cold out really cold out cold cold Nathan please stop
I cold freezing I don't know what's happening all right that's actually that's actually
devastating that's actually pretty that's pretty creepy okay to make it even worse his description
for that image says freezing is the first original word she's made
oh true
very true
oh that's so bad stuff
it's like it's learning words
but it's describing something awful
this has given me
nightmares that have only started
to kick in recently
I keep dreaming that she's in an ice cold car
frozen blue and gray
and I'm standing outside in the wharf
screaming at her to open the door
she doesn't even realize I'm there
sometimes her legs are outside with me
oh bro
I remember she died in a car accident
Yeah, yeah, exactly
So he's picturing her soul
stuck in the car
Like in the cold weather
Talking to him
Yeah, I mean like in a frozen sarcophagus
And he's on the outside
On the outside, unable to help
Those are always the worst dreams too, dude
I don't know if you're having those dreams
I've had dreams where like
Something happens like a relative or whatever
And you're like trying to like grab them or whatever
Or like hit somebody
And it's like you have no strength
Those have to be the worst dreams
I hate those
Yeah, when you're trying to do something
And you can't you can't perform
or like get something done i'll i'll have dreams for like i'm trying to lift something off of someone
and even if it's something pretty easy to lift i just can't do it it's very it's very you wake up like
like stressed out like you i always wake up really exhausted yeah yeah like you were fighting in your
sleep yeah like i remember like one time i had this dream where i was running away from somebody
who was like some kind of like entity that was chasing me it might have been something when i was younger
where it might have been like, you know, a Jason Voorhees S character.
Not necessarily him, but like somebody who's like,
oh, this guy's going to kill me kind of thing, right?
And as I was running away, it just like, I was like,
like, oh, like breathing really heavily.
And I just, which would have been very much like real life.
But I sat there and I, uh, like it was almost like all of my muscles were just
like giving out and I was gassed.
And when I woke up, I like my, my whole body was just like physically exhausted.
And I'm wondering if it's like when you're in those situations too,
in those dreams, if you're like all of your muscles like contracting or,
if you're like squeezing stuff or actively like you know you're like like moving or your muscles
are gyrating in some kind of way who knows but it's i don't i hate those dreams it's the worst
especially have nightmares where you're like you're watching something as very real as your
girlfriend be trapped in a car and having all these things they would just be too much at what point
i'd be like when am i going to get a break yeah i just want to sleep bro it's it's not worth it
like there's
there's like a lot of nightmares
I've had especially around like loved ones
dying and stuff like that
none that intense
but something like that messes with people
man
oh 100%
I mean
there's definitely psychological things
that have ripples in your brain
of your brain trying to process things
and like not necessarily delete memories
but it's like thoughts
or whatever things that your brain is processing
and then unfortunately it just
it falls in the file cabinet of dreams
where it feels super real
and horrifying so that's unfortunately just your brain working and what's kind of weird too so far to
go back even talk about this a bit is like the time jumps and stuff there's something pretty
torturous about like he gets about a week or two off now or something like maybe a month at
most but now it's like he gets a week or two off he has to deal with the things that he's like
he's trying to process stuff and then something just kind of like rears its head back and it's like
hello here's another message i mean like it'd be torturous yeah there's no end you'd almost wish it would
happen consecutively and then something, you know,
let it be done with. Instead, it's just
like this very, it's like bloodletting
or something. Slowly,
slowly you're just seeping out from
the inside. It just, it would suck.
Yeah, yeah. I'm, I'm bivom it with
it. This is better than I remember so far.
I like the nuance. Yeah, what's weird
is it started kind of cheesy, but I'm getting, I'm invested
now. Even in so much of just like
just clicking the hyperlinks.
It's like kind of like opening up documents like an
CEP thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Threat levels or whatever.
It's fun. It's a lot of fun. It's fun. It's fun. It's fun. It's fun.
feeling like you're getting to snoop around something
it's nice which on the 24th of May
we get another message from him
and it says this
at 2253
oh now we're going into
like command
he's gone into military time
we're scaled up he's making this
operation
which this would be like a 10
at night right
yeah yeah no this is midnight
53
this is midnight 53 or sorry
sorry I'm very stupid you're right this is 10503
Yeah, it's 10, 10, 10.
I was looking down at Emily, sorry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hers is midnight seven.
Yeah, I'm stupid.
Go ahead.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, like 1053, he says, I'm really drunk.
I miss you.
Whoever's on this account, I don't give a fuck.
I keep coming home from work and expecting to see you at the computer.
Shouldn't I be used?
Shouldn't I be used to that by now?
And then about two hours later,
Emily, your messages and says,
you let me walk.
UST let me walk
It made me trying to say just let me walk
Yeah or just let me talk is what I was thinking too
Yeah yeah just let me walk
Interesting, okay
Just let me walk
Hmm
And I'm curious to see what his description is
He said I was actually drunk
Or I wasn't actually drunk
She wasn't an affectionate girl
And it always embarrassed her to exchange
I love you's cuddle
And talk about how much we meant to each other
She was more comfortable with it
when I was boozed up
I got fake drunk a lot
poor guy
yeah that's pretty sad
all right
continue her reply
yes
I'm just like damn dude
yeah that sucks
man glad she's dead though
am I right
up top
you want to get not fake drunk together
and like I don't know
party or something
her reply is what prompted me
to finally memorialize
memorize her page
memorialize
oh my god
you got it's fucking
her reply is what prompted me
to finally memorialize her page
thinking it might help me
curb this behavior
It might seem innocuous compared to her previous message.
It pasted from an old conversation where I was trying to convince her to let me drive her home from my friends.
In the collision, the dashboard had crushed her.
She was severed in a diagonal line from her right hip to the midway down her left thigh.
One of her legs was found tucked on the back seat.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no, no.
I think I see what's going on here.
So maybe, okay, so it says that there was a previous conversation and he was trying to convince her to let
him drive her home right so maybe is it trying to assume that she was drunk that's what i think maybe
there was some like maybe she got drunk the night of the crash and says in the collision she was
crushed she was severed in half uh and one of her legs was found tucked under the back seat
and the message is from a time when he was trying to convince her to not drive drunk and the phrase is
just let me walk bro oh oh just let me walk yeah her legs are gone but you don't you had to
UN's interesting too, though, is it's, well, here's the thing.
Is it, do you think, well, I don't know where the message could have come from,
but having the J there feels like it's a typo of some kind?
I think it is.
To where it's like somebody must be typing instead of a copy-paste situation again?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, he says it's from an old conversation when she was drunk and talking.
So she was probably drunk and didn't put the J, like made a typo.
So that was one of her messages from Beck whenever they were having this conversation
where he was trying to convince her to let him drive.
So, yeah, it's just coffee-pasting her message from back then.
But now there's way too much sense to it.
He's describing being drunk, and she uses a message from when she was drunk,
or when the real Emily was drunk, and it's specifically about walking,
which, of course, as mentioned, she lost her legs in the accident.
And then the next text of Lock 2 says,
going back in time 7th of August 2012, I'm kind of interested here.
Which on August 7th, he said, hey, you on your way home, question mark, Emily?
then like maybe 20 minutes later he says
when you see this message please ring me straight away
I rang blank and they said you left it four
I'm starting to panic I feel sick in my stomach
please ring me
a couple hours go by
Emily Emily answer your phone
this is what she had the accident yeah
yeah
and it says these logs were from the day she died
she was usually home from work by 430
this alongside a couple of voicemail messages in the last time
I talked to her under the assumption that she was alive.
You'll see why I'm showing you these soon.
This is the looks like the last one.
It is.
The hyperlink says,
yesterday the 1st of July 2014.
And it says,
oh,
she messaged him.
1919, which that would have been 9.
919 at night.
7.7.19.
Hey, on your way home.
Emily, when you see these messages,
please ring me straight away.
Please stop.
I rang blank and they said,
you left at five.
I'm starting to panic.
Please stop.
cold
emily
emily
answer your phone
i don't know what's happening
cold freezing
that was over the course of about an hour
oh
oh oh
that's good
that's good
that goes hard okay
he says
I memorialized her page a couple days
after receiving the message
about walking
until today
she'd been quiet
she wasn't even tagging herself
in my photos
I don't know what to do anymore
do I kill her memorial page
what if it's
is her. I want to puke. I don't know what's happening. I just heard a Facebook alert. I'm too
afraid to swap windows and check it. And that's where it ends. Sick. I like it. That was good.
That was good. It's always really fascinating when something this short can be such a fun
captivating thing. And that's one thing I like about these short stories is using social media
in a complex way. You don't see a lot of movies or like a lot of new narratives by like, I don't
know traditional mediums like like i said like movies or something because usually they would
take this and it would be like what the fuck is that movie that zoom call movie you know what
unfriended yeah yeah and it's like the girl we bullied in school she's a ghost now and she's
haunting us yeah yeah and it's like it's like that there's something really you know they've they've
tried doing some stuff like this with messing with social media like i thought was uh it's that one
with uh the guy who's trying to find his daughter i think it's just called missing
I think it might just be called missing.
I can't remember.
But he's like going through her Facebook and it's all kind of from the perspective of his computer and social media and stuff.
But it's very effective.
It's fun to see somebody who has clearly used this kind of thing and writing something that is for an audience of people on social media who use it in this way as well.
And who could also comprehend that you can like make something fun and believable like this.
It's just a lot of fun.
And also to end it too on such a fun little moment where you're like, what?
What happened?
And then you just don't know.
kind of like Ted the caver.
Yeah, yeah.
It's kind of stops like right before,
right before what would
naturally be the conclusion point of a story.
And here it's to build up the fear.
It's a thing seen in a lot of, you know, classic
horror stuff.
What do you think the emphasis on cold and freezing is?
Do you think it's just like death, the feeling of death?
I think if I had to guess
his whole dream of seeing
her trapped in a car in like the freezing cold,
I think her spirit's still out there,
just kind of like left outside in the cold,
maybe maybe like proverbially inside of a car and she's freezing and she's trying to reach out to him to get him to help her
but these communications is all she can get through what's so haunting about this too is the idea of not being able to help
you know what I mean because this this spirit could be reaching out to them and trying to find like
I think that part of the thing here is that the poster here um is like saying like you kind of
by the end you kind of feel that they believe that it is her I know these I know the
they say they're like you know what if it is her but i think that it's almost like reading in a way
where someone's like wanting that validation of someone being like it probably is because you want it to
be real and it's that feeling too where it's like you just have no way of helping somebody or
no way of communicating that with them especially if it's something where somebody's just
resending messages almost as if they're accessing another computer and just pasting and copying and
pasting. There is
a screenshot
so after this guy made the story
he added an update
to his page that is technically the
ending of the story.
Oh really? It's like a one page thing
I have to type in, I hate it here
I have to type in the link. Let me send you
the screenshot.
Yeah I was going to say show me the screenshot.
The image or question
does not exist. Do not tell me this is
lost media. I will throw
up. I will kill. I will
do something painful right now
don't you dare do not tell me these two
images yeah we're trying to
we have to we can't actually click the photos we have to actually
type in the oh i found the post
okay cool we're so back we're so back
you found it yeah i found it yeah yeah we're good we're so back
all right this is his update let me copy the links
oh i found it too yeah i found it okay the update where he says i check the alert
Oh
I don't like that
Oh no
Oh no
That was the worst possible
Oh no
Oh my gosh
All right well I wish I didn't find that
I want to
I've only seen the one where it's just a computer
I'm putting in the other one
And then the message says freezing
So this feels very threatening
And that's definitely so it's a zoom in again
I'm guessing his window
And that's his computer
Yep
Oh no
oh no and then here the post says
I checked the alert
I heard it as I was compiling and editing the post
this is the message
that's my door
that's my computer
it's taken from outside
I got the message
three hours ago
but didn't check it until now
I'm on my tablet in my garage
Zen for now
going to drive to a friend
forgot to open the garage door
in my panic
so building up the nerve
to get out to do that now
I should be scared
I've occasionally opened a
I've occasionally opened a heart
just fucked
Just fucked up, it's very not me.
She's more real to me in that state.
What?
I don't know.
That last line is, hold on, hold on.
Okay, so for one, those images are terrifying.
That just now, after he's cut it off to, like, not talk to it anymore, it's showing up outside of his house.
Like, you can imagine, like, the gray, ghostly emaciated figure of his dead girlfriend right outside his door.
This is, like, this is classic, like, creepypasta, right?
This is, like, old school campfire.
the hooked man was waiting at the door, you know?
Like the OG kind of thing? I'm here for it. I like it.
It is fun and it completely, you I hate, is I was like,
what if it's a nice spirit?
You know what I mean? I'm kind of mad now.
That's your fault. That's your fault.
Emily, you, you, God, you deceptive woman.
It feels like, or it's like who even knows if it's even her?
Like, now I don't even know.
I was so sure to you that it was Emily, but now it's like, if it is, then it's like, well, why, why is she punishing him or why is she coming after him like this?
Because also, it's so crypted and creepy.
And even now, okay, so let me ask you this.
Now, with these pictures of the photo, are you even, are you even thinking that this is a ghost anymore or do you think this is like a stalker?
It could be a ghost.
I don't think it's a stalker.
I would, I would say maybe the story's leaning more towards like, she's like a ghoul, you know, like a monstrous.
zombie almost thing.
Not zombie in like the kid. Shut up.
Not zombie in like the
roaming dead sense. I mean like she's
like it's like the emaciated
skeleton or something like that. Like there's some
horrific figure standing just outside
the door. Hmm.
Hmm.
I don't know. I don't know how
I like that. What you mean boo?
You don't like zombies? You don't like weird
zombie girlfriends? If your
if your wife died, you wouldn't like it. If she was
a zombie, I think that'd be pretty cool.
I mean, I would love to have a wife zombie.
Don't get me wrong.
See?
What did I say?
I'm just saying that what feels weird is like it just doesn't feel like he deserves this kind of, like it would be different if the story preps you up and it's like, oh, you know, she always was abusive.
Like anything that made it seem like she would come get him.
But at this point, it's like, well, why is she hunting him down?
Right.
if anything shouldn't this be like oh i'm like if this post was like i accidentally was drunk driving
you know a couple years ago and i and i hit somebody and i've had to live with this shame forever
and now it's like the person is coming back to get them for taking their life right but it's like
it just feels like it's like okay well why the fuck are you messing with this guy then to me it feels
even weirder if a person's like this person if it's like a stalker thing or not even like
just just a regular human being right but then they got access to your dead
girlfriend's account and they've been fucking with you this whole time and now they're they're like
reaching even further now and now they're taking pictures of you they know where you live
also they would have to have some kind of communication with susan i would imagine to get this information
so it's like where the fuck is susan during all this where is susan how do we know it's not susan sure
she said it's not me how do we know that's possible what if it's susan what if hey what if the old
boy what if the old bowl want some of the young calf
Right? I always admired you.
You know, my daughter never appreciated you, Nathan.
Right?
Crazy old mom?
Want a piece of Nathan?
That's creepy.
I mean, yeah, okay, maybe it is the mom.
Maybe it's her stalking.
Maybe she blames Nathan for doing it, hence the freezing thing and all that.
Maybe it is that.
Or maybe her essence, her spirit, her existence in this realm,
has been taken over by some evil entity.
And maybe it's learning how she spoke.
it's learning her communications with someone she was close to to try to find a way in.
But why?
Why do you think him?
Well, I mean, like, if, okay, so if you, if you died, right?
Right.
And a spirit was to fill in your spot in reality.
Who is the closest person to you that it would begin to latch onto?
Yeah, I mean, my wife for sure.
Yeah, right.
So I'm saying maybe Nathan was the closest thing it had to latch on to.
Maybe that's why it's stalking him.
Hmm.
So you're saying that it's just.
using like a mask or like it's it's using this thing to communicate with him but it actually
has nothing to do with his wife yes exactly that's that's a theory i have that's fine i mean i like
that you know if she was more affectionate i don't even mind the idea of her of it's being if it's
her and it's like her trying to come back to him but it's just perceived in a creepy way but it's just
like he made it very very clear he makes it clear many times which is i want to know the intention
of this that's like she is not affectionate at all and i'm wondering if they're if he's
prepping that up to where it's like that's why it's so weird too that this person would come back
and is trying to talk to him in that way you know what I mean yeah closing down that that argument
because you could have something where it's like the like a creepy thing where it's an undying love
you know what I mean yeah even even that kind of uh that kind of bond between somebody
we're together forever you know that can be kind of creepy that's also true I like the idea
yeah I like that idea maybe maybe after
death, you know, her spirit, or what's left of it, like the rotted remains of her spirit
is still drawn to him.
So are we under the impression, too, that this ghoul, that this entity has like a
Polaroid camera, and I just took a picture like an iPhone.
Well, you know what?
If you want to nitpick that hard, um, no, no, no, I'm not nitpicking.
I'm just, I'm asking questions.
I'm like, I'm not, I have learned, I have learned my lessons from the Russian sleep experiment.
I am not nitpicking.
I am just posing a question
and I am thinking visually
of like an iPhone 4S
floating around
and taking a picture
is that the case
I need to know
I'm just curious
It could be
Or maybe it's eyes or cameras
Hunter
Have you ever considered that
Maybe it's one with them
All camera eyed goals
An Apple ghoul
Is that an Apple ghoul?
It's an Apple goal
For sure
The eye ghoul
As it were
You know what
I don't hate any of the theories
That you're saying
I'm just saying
In terms of like
Trying to find
it's kind of like it's the shitty argument
and it's the shitty thing you have to think about
in like even found footage films which is like
why are they still recording right
right so with this it's like if there's a picture
what the hell what are we doing
here
I love it it's a fun visual
it's creepy as shit whenever I'm sitting there
but the more that I reflect on it the more I'm like
well treat it this way treat it this way
the story ended at the
freezing line right at the last message
that she sends him and then he
adds the picture part later so that's
like DLC. That's like extra lore.
Yeah, like if we never looked into it, because I kind of, I mean, here's the thing, let me ask
you this. Do you like the ending being where we first had it? Or do you like it more with
the picture? Admittedly, I like it more where we first had it. Admittedly. I think it works
as a better jump scare to show a picture of his house, so to speak. But I think the more impactful
ending is her just saying the words freezing. Because then the audience is left to imagine maybe
it's her soul, maybe it's her body dead in the ground, or maybe it's her spirit out in the cold,
or maybe, you know, something to that effect. Maybe that's what the freezing line means. It's more
ambiguous, so therefore it lets you fill in more scary parts. It's showing up outside of his
house is much more mainstream, straightforward. I don't think it's as interesting, per se, but
the original story ends with Emily's ghost saying freezing. The idea, too, of like, I mean,
I was having fun theorizing what kind of context this is, you know, because it never does.
answer you if it's the hacker or if it is emily and then the idea too of it's like trying like
i was having fun formulating ideas with you about like is it somebody reaching out like even you
saying like sometimes people say that like you know ghosts are touching they're like their consciousness
resets and they have to go and they're like touching and trying to like find out basically who they are
again that's all good and fun and i you know the visual of this is super creepy but i it leaves me
with more questions where I'm like, what?
You know?
It's a great haunting image,
but I almost like it before the picture.
I almost like this more before the picture.
Because I feel like also we get so many,
so many, like, fun text logs and clicking and stuff like that.
It almost makes me wish that if you were going to introduce the picture thing,
maybe introduce, like, you know, I think something,
not that I think something's looking at me,
but do you think that there should have been like some kind of picture before that?
instead of screenshots, you know what I mean?
Maybe some little thing.
Yeah.
I think somebody's looking at me or something, right?
He's taking a picture from his desk.
I continue to think someone's looking at me.
If this was a longer story, then I think there's a lot more you could do to flesh it out.
Absolutely.
I think so.
So I also have something interesting.
So that posts that we didn't understand what it means, the one that's like, I should be scared.
I've occasionally opened a heart, that whole thing.
Yeah, yeah.
It turns out someone went through.
Someone named Holly Yo What Up.
Thank you, Holly.
Went through all of his replies on that post.
And the phrases he says there is a conglomeration of everything he said in the previous messages in other replies.
So that last message that doesn't make sense where he's like, it's very not me.
She's more real to me in that state.
That is a word salad of things he said.
So it's implying that whatever spirit got her has now gotten him.
not got him that's fun yeah yeah that's a cute yeah i like that especially the idea of like
the first two things are so cohesive that it kind of seems like it got him mid typing yeah yeah you know
you know i mean like it got him while he was like yeah i'm in my garage blah blah blah and then as
he was doing that boom you know yeah that's pretty good that's that's a fun ending that he sends
a bunch of replies to his original post and then one final message is like a conclusion
of that implying that he was taken by the same spirit as well that's pretty good i almost kind
of wish here too if i had to say it wish that the last links instead of being the picture if it was
something where it was like a like something where you clicked it and even when he uploaded it was
initially it meant to be like this file has been deleted or like it was scrambled or something to where
it's like you're like what what was that thing that he posted before you know what what's missing
from this thing yep um but i do think that it is some kind of entity or something i mean i'm
already forgetting that the beginning of this there's really the only the only actual complaint i
have with this whole thing is um just the first image with like the the tag box thing and then like
the jpeg so someone did this hold on let me copy paste it for you i was scrolling through his
replies on it to see what he said i copy pasted the same thing twice i'm stupid okay hold on um
this right here someone was in the replies they brightened the image and said that it looks
like a girl's outfit so the thing the like line around the waist has a heart in the middle of it
so it kind of looks like a belt with a heart and then the two like bright things on top are like
they look like shoulders uh and there is a portion in one of his replies where he says uh i have
no idea with that hold on let me find his specific message about it uh he left one of the
replies. He said, ha ha, I thought that might, this is after someone asked a question saying what was
that thing in the picture. He says, ha ha, I thought that might generate some questions. I'm fairly
sure it's the flash reflection of my bathroom vanity. Weird reflection, though, been trying
to recreate with no luck. Scratch that, the vanity is set back further than that. Angle
doesn't make sense. I didn't notice it until I was uploading it today. Edit. Been trying to
recreate since I saw this comment. Taking pictures from every angle. Same lighting conditions,
same phone, no dice. To be honest, I was kind of hoping you guys would dismiss it as nothing.
I'm not sure if I'm just hypersensitive at the moment or what, but I'm starting to get freaked
out. Is this before, so this is the original poster commenting this, correct? Yes, correct.
So is this before or after that last post? Uh, the, okay, so this entire account, Nate
SW is just dedicated to the short story. So he makes the original post and then he makes all
of these replies like within a couple days of each other.
with his final reply being the conglomeration one,
the one that's like,
I should be scared,
I've occasionally opened a heart, that whole thing.
Oh, good for it.
Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool.
Yeah, so this, he said that about the thing in the mirror
before he gave the final message that implies he died.
His second to last message was the one with the pictures
that shows his own bedroom.
Yeah, the update.
Yeah, so he's post that,
and then it's the word salad one.
So whatever was outside of his window got him, basically.
I really love the idea of this count being dedicated to this one thing and to have the interactive thing.
I mean, to be one of the commenters on this and then to get the person to respond to it, it's such a fun, it's just so, it's such a fun, immersive experience.
And also good for them for also ending it completely with that last post.
Very sick.
I mean, like super, super fun.
Yeah, it's a lot of fun.
Like I said, this is one of the internet campfire story, so to speak.
I remember friends sitting around talking about it, and they'd make jokes like, freezing, like, they'd say it in the goat man voice or whatever.
Like, I remember, like, being out of sleepover and a group of guys were telling this story, and I'm sure we got most of the details wrong, but I remember my friend going, the messages just kept saying, freezing, freezing, and I remember, like, everyone getting freaked out over that.
It's fun.
Like I said, it's like a campfire story.
I like it a lot.
Yeah, yeah, very.
It would be fun to be people also in the earlier day.
of, you know, it says that this was post
like 10 years ago.
Yeah.
When this first came out,
sending this link to each other
and being like,
did you, dude,
read this.
You know, like,
and seeing it,
people interact with it
and the poster interacting with it too.
It's such a fun way
to utilize the internet.
I also want to say to keep,
I keep fixating on this,
the brightened image
of this thing with the heart,
you know,
with the vanity and stuff.
The two little things
are supposed to be the shoulders.
It looks like two hands
flipping off the camera.
Oh, interesting.
It's what I see.
It's what I say.
That's actually,
well,
remember he describes,
being very sarcastic, not lovey-d-dovey, stuff like that.
Maybe this was an image of her at some point
that's been burned into the photo or something like that.
The bell thing, the very, the extremely clear heart, though,
is what's confusing, though.
Especially, and then the last post, he says,
I should be scared, I have occasionally open to heart.
I should be scared.
I've occasionally open to heart.
just fucked up it's very not me
I don't know why
the heart line do you think that that seems
too serendipitous I mean what does that even
so what I think that is
I've been curiously open to heart
I think once again that's a word salad because
again Holly went through all of his replies
and found where he said those words
and in response to someone sending that
brightened image of what you say as a girl
flipping off the camera or whatever
in his reply to that he says
I don't really own anything with a heart
on it and no one was
over that night. That's definitely heart-like, though, really weird.
And then, so that's where you get the phrase in there where he says, a heart.
There's another part where he says, she's more real to me. There's a part where he says
it's very not me. So, again, I think that last sentence, it's the same entity trying to put
something together using his words. Now, does he put anything together with those words?
I should be scared. I've occasionally opened a heart. It's very not me in that state. I don't know.
I don't know if there's anything you can make out of that. That's like the, the end.
making sense of what he's saying.
But I think that's what it's trying to do there.
It's not me.
Just fucked up, it's very not me.
She's more real to me in that state.
Just fucked up, that's not me in that state.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's interesting.
I like that the way it ends there, though.
I think that's nice.
I mean, like, you know, I said my things about the picture or whatever.
But I think all in all, for being such a fun thing
and to have an account that's solely dedicated to this,
that's posting on the r slash no sleep i mean how fun is that i mean like in terms of creepy pasta
in terms of like spooky stories online this is just like this is super fun i i hope that there's
more of this like i haven't i'm not even it's going to say that i'm like uh super well-versed
and creepy pasta stuff but i hope there's more of this kind of stuff you know people um creating
their own evidence people being able to like use the idea of an of an anonymous poster online
to make it actually feel believable, you know?
And have it be just a fun little goose chase.
I love that.
I like it a lot.
It's fun.
I like it.
And also a nice palate cleanser to last week.
Can I just, can I say that?
It sure is.
It's, uh, this whole like my girlfriend's dead and freeze in a death in a car because
she died in a drunk driving accident.
Way better than last week.
It's like a piece of, uh, ginger at a sushi bar.
It's just, it just clears your ride out, makes you feel better.
I can quit being sick now that you all have.
I've paid my penance.
I'm done.
Okay.
I get it.
I get it.
You're mad because I made you read about human farming.
All right.
Understandably so.
But I gave you this story this week.
This was my pick.
Thank you very much.
I gave you this story that was about a woman dying in a drunk driving accident.
So I think we're all square now.
With a very happy, cheery story like that, I think we're on the same page.
I do want to say the aspect that you did, you suggested,
Barasca and stuff
and then I checked
Red Thread
and then you guys did
Epstein
you did Epstein's list
I was like
holy shit
people are gonna be
in a for a fucking
yeah
I did have that thought
that we were talking
about Epstein
Barasca
it's surreal
I saw many people
be like
you're going from Red Thread
yeah
you poor dogs
you poor people
going
going from
Creakas Barasca
part two
to Epstein's
list on Red Thread
was a surreal
experience I saw
many of those
comments
I was like
these poor
these poor, poor people.
Yeah, but what are you going to do?
Not watch.
That's what I thought.
Exactly.
You did it anyway.
Nerds, geeks.
Nerds.
Yeah, what are you going to do?
Quit watching?
That's what I thought.
So you're going to stay here.
You're going to listen to these stories of women dying in car accidents and you're
going to like it.
All right?
Because that's how this works.
There won't be a lot of human trafficking one.
I can promise you that.
For a few episodes.
For a few episodes.
We'll give it one more episode and then we'll die.
back into that subject. Yeah, because I've got
I've got them lined up. You thought Varasca was bad?
I got like, I got like meat farm stuff
ready to go. It was a haunting
haunting message when he sent me the list
of stories that were reading
and I was like, I was like, really? Do we have to
read these? And he said, yes.
I'm like, shut up. Shut up, Hunter,
you're going to like it. You're going to eat your food
and you're going to get through it. And then he coughed directly in my face.
Right, my face.
Just like that. Just like that.
That's what I did. And I said, we're reading. You're going to get on the
call and we're going to read about the drunk driving
freaky pasta and
you know what? You're going to smile through it.
You're going to like it. And here we are
saying you all are going to watch these videos
and you're going to like you. You have no option.
Well I will say you know
what? This is one of our quicker
ones. This is a short story but we thought it was
fun to do a nice quick
pallet cleanser for you all.
So we hope you enjoyed this one.
Also we've been taking your
suggestions below so we do have
some of some suggestions, viewer suggestions
that we're getting ready to read moving forward.
So if you can, be sure to comment stories that you think that we'd like
or stories that you think are kind of funny or whatever,
and we'll be sure to put them on the list.
And then I'm going to read through them and pick the ones that are the most terrible
and will emotionally and mentally damage to most people possible.
No, no, no.
That's the only factor.
Now we're just trying to find stories that are supposed to emotionally and mentally
to scar you.
This is not a fun podcast anymore.
This is going to be.
something where we get to trauma dump.
Trauma dump podcast is what's going to be called now.
And I'm sorry, that's just the way it is.
It's this new thing I'm cooking up called PTSD.
It stands for podcast, trauma, something disorder.
Love that.
I like that.
I love that the S is something.
Yep, yep.
Well, you know what?
Maybe when I'm off cold medicine hunter, I'll think of a better one right now.
The creativity on this podcast flows like wine.
What are we going to make this podcast about creepy things called?
Oh, I know.
We're going to call a Creepcast.
Perfect, dude.
Easy brand.
You know what?
That's good branding, dude.
Good branding.
And you know what?
And you know what? It's working.
They're here.
They're listening to it.
They are here.
So that's their fault, if you think about it.
They should, if they want better from us, then they should act like it.
But until then, you're getting Creepcast and you're getting women dying in car accidents.
And you know what?
We appreciate you all showing up and being so supportive.
The fan base has been fucking amazing.
So just wanted to say that again.
We really appreciate you showing up.
And until, you know, next time, Isaiah will be much, much healthier, we can promise you that.
Unless I pick another bad story in which God's going to keep punishing me.
It will be an angelic punishment every time.
And I'm here for it.
You know, I'm glad.
If I'm sick one week, that means it's going to be a good episode.
Yeah, exactly.
You know it's going to be an easy episode if he would be sick.
So, well, until next time, we appreciate you all for stopping by and stay creepy.
Is that a good tagline?
Can we make that a thing?
Well, I mean, like, creepy has a lot of meanings.
It could mean, like, be, like, a stalker or something.
Like, I stay creepy in any way that you feel fit.
Yeah, yeah.
You're right.
We should lean into it more.
If that's creepy on your coworkers, if that's creepy on, you know, various, like,
bastard eyes in public, then stay creepy.
There's really, there's really no way to have, like, a fun, cute way.
It's like, stay spooky.
It's like, what the fuck does that mean?
Yeah.
stay creepy
stay creeped
does that make sense
be sure
yeah stay creeped
stay creeped
that's good
stay creeped stay creeped
be sure to breathe
drink water and eat food
that's gonna be our new

both of those two are less likely to bring us into a lawsuit
so I like stay creeped
yeah stay creeped
all right stay creeped everyone
