Starting point is 00:00:04 This is creepy. A podcast dedicated to sharing the most famous chilling and disturbing creepypastas and urban legends in the world. Whether these stories truly happened or are simply fabrications is for you to decide. These stories may contain graphic depictions of violence and explicit language. Listener discretion is advised. Creepy presents the 31 Days of Horror. Day 29. 11 miles.
Starting point is 00:00:46 Credited to Emery. Do you have something that you truly relentlessly desire? Despite your state of life, is there something else that you could go completely to the end of the world to get? Well, lucky for you. there's a way to achieve what you're looking for, and you won't need to go to the end of the world to get it. But you will need to go somewhere,
Starting point is 00:01:14 and the place may be too out of reach for some. It's not far away, closer than one may believe, but there are requirements that some individuals may not meet. Whatever it is that you seek, know that you must seriously desire what you want. In your eyes it should be something you need. If you begin the journey without the correct state of mind, you will surely fail.
Starting point is 00:01:41 And it will be nearly impossible to turn back once the journey starts. The second requirement is that you will need a vehicle of sorts. Most use a car as its most comfortable choice. There have been a select few who have used small motorized vehicle, such as an ATV or motorcycle. But this has proven to be quite difficult, as the conditions of the journey can prove to too bothersome. Do not use a vehicle too large or noticeable, as you will need some cover of night to be most safe. Also, while any sort of car will do, you may not want to choose the most expensive or cherished
Starting point is 00:02:20 vehicle. You can take your slick new black Mercedes for the drive if you'd like, but don't expect it to come out in a pristine state. Make sure your vehicle is completely fueled before beginning the drive. The first task to accomplish is to locate the road. It doesn't have a name. It's not on the map, and technically, it doesn't even exist. It will only show up if you're looking for it at the right time,
Starting point is 00:02:49 and you only spot it if you know what to look for. Finally, you must be alone during the journey. You didn't think you'd be able to go with a group, did you? It must be night when you begin. Choose the time of night when you believe the roads are the least populated. Drive to any area that is just a stretch of roads surrounded by woods. Here's where you want to start paying close attention. If you're looking for the road, it will turn up eventually.
Starting point is 00:03:21 But you need to search for the road's hints in order to pull down the right one. Once you're close, you will see or feel its signs. But what the signs will be depend on what it is you desire. For example, if you're in search of wealth, you may spot shimmers on the empty branches of trees as if they resemble the shine of gold or diamonds. If you seek love, you may begin to see rose petals slowly dance in the light breeze, blowing in the road's direction. If you seek revenge, you might sense an ever-growing feeling of heat or anger in your body as you approach. Just know what it is you really want. And you'll have no problem finding the turn.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Once you're sure you found the revealed road, take a deep breath and turn down onto it. At this point, you've officially started down the nameless road, which brings you through 11 miles, leading to whatever it is you seek. Each mile will test your desire and will expose if you really do want what you're looking for. Before you go any further, stop the goal. car and be wary of a few advisements. Do not turn on a radio during the drive. Do not use a phone during the drive. Reception would be cut off anyway. Do not open the windows during the drive. Make sure they're closed before you continue. If you're riding a vehicle without windows or atop, then prepare for the worst as the odds are heavily against you. Do not attempt to leave your
Starting point is 00:05:07 vehicle at any time. You'll never want to exceed 30 miles per hour, unless you're desperate to make it through a section of the road. And most importantly, as with any drive, buckle up. Feel free to prepare and make sure you're ready. Once the road has been entered, time has stopped so you don't need to worry about losing the night. Though you may not notice, you're not actually in your own world anymore.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Take one last moment to realize that once the first mile is over, there's no turning back. If you ponder turning back at all, know that you shouldn't even be on the journey in the first place. Once all is done, continue on the road. On the first mile, you won't see much change. The road passes through mostly woods with a few miles being an exception. The air will turn a bit colder. in which you should turn on your heating system if your vehicle has one. You won't want to take your eyes off the road later.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Take some time to calm any uneasiness by admiring some of the night's sky. You'll see it completely lined with stars. More than what you would ever believe possible. If the weather was cloudy beforehand, you'll notice that the sky is now clear. On the second mile, the air will become even colder. This is primarily the reason why traveling in an open vehicle is very difficult. With each mile, the air will drop in temperature even if the season should be warm. If the air is too cold to bear, even with the heat on, your only option is to speed up.
Starting point is 00:07:06 With each mile, the road also becomes more complex, taking more turns and showing an increasing amount of roads. road hazards. Be sure to always keep focused on the road in front of you in order to avoid as many bumps or obstacles as possible. Hitting a few rocks and potholes won't hamper your progress too much, but you'll want to keep in the best condition for as long as possible. If your vehicle is forced to stop because of damage, then there's nothing left you can do, but eventually freeze to death. On the third mile, you may begin to spot silhouettes of human figures in the linings of trees. Pay no attention to them, even if they seem to get closer.
Starting point is 00:07:51 It will be hard to resist peeking at their unnerving, distant appearance, but know that they will reveal themselves later. At this mile, the road will become dirt if you weren't driving on it in the beginning. Keep on the center of the path, as it will become narrow and wide at random intervals. On a quick side note, should you ever attempt to turn around, despite the previous warnings, you'll be left on a path which never ends. You would simply run out of fuel eventually and be left to freeze in the cold conditions. On the fourth mile, you will not see any more of the figures,
Starting point is 00:08:35 but you will begin to, in a sense, hear them. in the back of your mind a very faint unintelligible whisper will echo these will come and go but you can't stop them if they become bothersome or distracting try and tune them out by thinking what it is
Starting point is 00:08:55 you desire attempting to listen and determine what the voices are saying will only attract them to you and you want to stay as far away from them as you can they'll be closer later so there's no use springing them near you this early. On the fifth mile, you will come to a clearing. The lining of trees to your left will disappear
Starting point is 00:09:20 to reveal a lake with no end, with a beaming great moon over the water. The illumination from the moon will be so spectacular that the vehicle's headlights will no longer be required. Restrain yourself from gazing at it. If you look at its light for even more than a few seconds, the road in front of you will end, throwing your vehicle into the water in which you will freeze in mere minutes. The voices will be gone for this smile, but don't rejoice yet. They'll be
Starting point is 00:09:54 back. On the sixth mile, take into account that you're more than halfway done. Despite the progress, you may lose hope here. The stars will have disappeared at this point, leaving the sky an empty, black abyss. The clearing will have ended, leading you back into the woods. The only light you will have will be provided by your vehicle's headlights, but they will flicker from time to time, even if you're sure they're in perfect working order. If you have a radio in the vehicle, it will turn on here automatically. If you didn't turn it off beforehand, you will produce an overwhelming screech that will send you off the path. Home voice will then begin to speak about your greatest fears,
Starting point is 00:10:48 what it is you are horrified of in your life. It will speak in a way that will cause you to visualize the words in your mind, so don't listen to it. If you begin to comprehend what it's saying, the horrors will prove too much for you to stay on the road safely. Attempting to turn off the radio will prove no use. Speed up if you need to. Just keep your mind off the voice as much as you can.
Starting point is 00:11:17 As you approach the end of the mile, the voice will fade out of the speakers, leaving your ears at peace. For now, on the seventh mile, the voices from the figures will return. It won't sound like whispers this time, but more like distant screams growing closer with each second. At some point on this mile,
Starting point is 00:11:43 you'll hear one of them in your ear. As if one of them were right behind you. This is because one of the figures have fallen their way into your vehicle. Do not turn around. Their faces will shock you into paralysis leading you off the road. If you don't draw attention to it, it will become uninterested and hopefully leave. These beings are said to be ones who have traveled down this road before, but were not successful. They live the remainder of their existence suffering in the darkness, with their only goal being to bring other travelers down with them.
Starting point is 00:12:23 It has been said from experience that these beings can't physically harm you. So long as they don't cause you to wreck, you should be fine. On the eighth mile, slow down if you're going too fast. The road here takes very sharp turns, which if overshot will throw the vehicle into a pit through the trees. The cold is near fatal here If you were to have a glass or bottle of liquid in your vehicle It would be solid in seconds The heating system will have become completely obsolete
Starting point is 00:12:58 Your headlights will flicker more Sometimes shutting off for a few seconds You should break if this happens but do not completely stop The figures will be following you at this point And should you stop for too long They will surround and trap your vehicle More of their screams can be heard from outside your doors, sometimes even sounding of maniacal laughter. Their hands will claw at your windows, desperate to reach in and feel something living.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Do not look at them. They won't block your windshield, and the last thing you want to happen is to crash and be trapped with them. If you don't make it from here, pray that it's the freezing. that ends you. The ninth mile, your vehicle will stall. The headlights will shut off, as will all other systems inside. There's nothing you can do to prevent this. What you will need to do is close your eyes and immediately attempt to restart the vehicle.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Keep your eyes closed, as the figures would have surely surrounded you at this point. The starting of the vehicle will frighten them, and they will all back away temporarily. this will give you a chance to start moving forward again. If you begin to hear the windows crack from their struggle, don't lose focus. The beings can alter the vehicle, but remember that they still do not have the strength to physically affect you. You will hear nothing but their voices rampage in your mind.
Starting point is 00:14:43 There could be anywhere between a dozen or a hundred after you now. Once you start the vehicle, floor it. floor it as long as you can stay on the path. When the mile is done, the beings will retreat. On the 10th mile, the voices of the beings will stop. If you were to look in your rearview mirror, do not actually do this. You will see them following you, but not as if they were chasing. They're watching you, as if they were seeing you off.
Starting point is 00:15:18 As you go down the 10th mile, the road will be smoother, as if you were back on the first mile. The figures will be lining the sides of the path ahead of you. They won't be after you, but they will watch you as you pass. Some have theorized that the beings are impressed here, that you have come a long way on the journey to what you desire. This is false. They are not impressed, but they are happy. They are happy you're about to approach the next mile. They are They're happy because you are most likely going to your death. On the 11th and final mile, everything in your vehicle will lose power as it did on the 9th mile.
Starting point is 00:16:06 The vehicle would normally be immobile, but you will still be moving. An unknown force will be pulling you forward. In the darkness, you will see a glowing red light up ahead, as if it were a light at the end of a tunnel. Close your eyes and cover them. to whatever it takes to make sure you do not see what you are about to go through. Covering your ears would also be helpful, but keeping your eyes covered should be a higher priority.
Starting point is 00:16:37 The red light is another clearing, but there's no moon or lake this time. Once it's entered, unrelenting and inconceivable noises will sound from all directions. No amount of bravery and conditioning will spare you from these sounds. The cold will turn to a merciless heat, burning all parts of the vehicle. You will feel the illusion of the flesh being burned off your bones, that every part of you is being destroyed as you travel through screams and audible suffering.
Starting point is 00:17:10 As long as you keep your eyes closed and resist the urge to see where you are, you will survive through the suffering. This will last a total of 31 seconds, but many fail to keep their vision closed. during that time and are left to the worst fate of the road. Where is this mile located? Those who have survived do not know. Some have named it the transmission from hell.
Starting point is 00:17:39 But whether it's part of hell is debatable. After the final mile, power will return. Stop the vehicle. Take a moment to possibly regain some of your sanity. Let the screaming in your ears begin to fade I know you have nearly completed your journey with the hardest task overcome. Breathe and begin to drive forward once again. After only a kilometer, your vehicle will arrive at a dead end.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Stop here and don't attempt to move again. Nothing will happen right this second, but do not be disappointed. Relax and close your eyes. Imagine in your mind what it is you've desired the intention. entire time, it will most likely still be the same as when you entered. But with some, this desire may actually change through making this journey. Think about what it was that you went through such terrifying and difficult means to acquire and imagine possessing it in your hands.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Once you've completely visualized this, slowly open your eyes. You will then find yourself at the beginning of the unnamed road. where you first began. This may confuse you, but know that you are finished. Your task is done. Your mind will then turn to your reward. If what you desired was material,
Starting point is 00:19:13 check in the back seat or in the trunk if the object is larger. If the object was small enough, it might already be in your pocket. If what you desired was non-material, then did not be disappointed if the change is not immediate. turn back to where you came from and you will find in your life that what you wanted is there you may have found the love of your dreams
Starting point is 00:19:37 you may have gained unnatural unimaginable power you may have put your most hated enemy to the most satisfying revenge possible you will have no doubt gained what you deserved so now that the task is done what's the catch is your vehicle cursed Is there something you're about to lose?
Starting point is 00:20:02 Is your death imminent? The answer to all is no, of course. You've done the challenge. You've proved worthy of what you desire. As stated before, the sounds of the 11th mile will continue to exist in your mind, potentially causing you some vivid and unusual nightmares. But they should prove as nothing
Starting point is 00:20:26 compared to what you've gained. Now, last question. Is there something else you desire? Are you not yet satisfied? After all, you're left right back where you started. The road's right in front of you. So are you up for another drive? If so, buckle up and just move forward.
Starting point is 00:20:57 It was the winter of 1954, and the annual dinner gala at the Billings Estate was packed with politicians, philanthropists, people of all enormous wealth and status. Par for the course. Of course, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves until the power went out completely. And then... ...pologies again, but it appears as though the phone lines are down. It's too dangerous to go now. Now? So is staying in the house with a murderer.
Starting point is 00:21:54 I'll come with you. Don't worry, there's nothing to be afraid of. After all, you're the one with the gun now, aren't you? He tried to open the doors, but they were frozen shut.
