Howdy and hello?
Oops, caught me catching up on my guitar skills.
You know, I used to be in a band back in the day before all of this.
Anyway, as a fellow music fan, I know you'll enjoy what I have for you today.
A pair of tickets to catch Mr. Dream set at an undisclosed location.
Haven't heard of him?
maybe best keep it that way.
To stay on top of the cutting edge of pop culture,
just follow my instruction on
how to access the forbidden wiki.
Before we begin,
I want to point out some of the customers
whose names have been etched in brass
on this beautiful plaque I had made above the front desk.
These are some of the members of the inner circle of the antiquarium.
We go by the Obsidian Covenant.
Recent initiates include David Milanoffsky,
Antichrist 616,
Sneaky Whisper, Brown Sugar 96,
Diego Pooch,
Andrew Fogle,
Aaron Godfrey,
and Jacob Camerand.
We are ever appreciative of your devotion to
the order.
Go to the obsidiancovenant.com to receive the sacrament.
Now, where were we?
Yes.
Welcome to the antiquarium of sinister happenings.
And odd goings on.
We all love Wikipedia, don't we?
A seemingly endless source of information.
All consolidated on a well-formatted, visually pleasing website.
and despite what your teacher might tell you,
I can guarantee you that just about nobody's trying to rewrite history pages with false information.
Nobody has time for that, nor does anybody care enough to do it.
Beyond research and general curiosity, there's a ton of fun stuff you could do on the site.
For example, there's the Wikipedia game,
where you start on one topic page and then click on related hyperlinks
until you reach the pre-specified destination page.
Also, did you know that if you go on a Wikipedia page relating to any topic,
Click on the first hyperlink and repeat the process.
You'll eventually find yourself in a loop that always directs you back to the page for philosophy.
Deep stuff, really.
Now that's all fun or whatnot, but did you know that there's something else you could do on Wikipedia?
A ritual of sorts.
I recommend proceeding with caution.
There was a certain level of risk involved when pursuing something like this.
What I recommend it, not really.
So why am I talking about it at all?
I'll explain later.
This is what you'll need.
A device with internet access,
preferably something mobile, like a laptop or smartphone.
Make sure that none of your personal information is stored on this device.
Okay, if it's a smartphone, take out the SIM card,
delete all your contacts, social media apps, photos, etc.
This is not an optional step.
Internet access.
Preferably public, like a library or a large, crowded coffee shop.
You could also just use your home internet.
Not recommended, though.
A weapon, bodyguard, vehicle.
Optional, but also not at the same time.
You'll only need these things for reasons I'll explain later.
But more often than not, you won't be needing these things.
15 out of 100 times, I'd say.
Try and pack some heat.
Here's what you'll need to do.
Sit down at a library, coffee shop, university campus, or any place with public Wi-Fi.
Start off by visiting an extremely popular wiki page.
For example, Michael Jordan, World War II, Elon Musk, Google, etc.
Now here's where you've got to exert a bit of brainpower.
You're going to have to traverse from this popular page to an obscure page that has hardly been seen at all in comparison.
But don't go searching up something like creepiest Wikipedia pages or most bizarre Wikipedia pages and try to get there.
If those pages are on a list, then they've probably received a lot of traffic.
You'll need to find a page about something truly unknown and inane,
like some unheard-of Romanian folk singer from the 1960s who only released two songs before dying in their 30s or something.
Doing this is harder than you might think.
The page truly has to be something that very few people are aware of.
or would even bother to learn about.
Once you found a page that you deem suitably obscure and unseen,
you'll have to click on the Wikipedia homepage,
find another popular topic and repeat the process,
maybe three, four, five times at the very max.
But don't worry about clicking pages endlessly.
You'll know that you've done it right
when you come across a seemingly blank page.
The wiki symbol and side options will still be there.
But the page itself will be devoid of any pictures or text,
except for the title of the page at the top that is.
It'll say,
information limit,
followed by a string of numbers.
Remember that string.
You'll need it later.
Also, don't close the browser.
You've done it.
The ritual has officially begun.
At this point, you'll have to leave the location you accessed it at.
For the love of God,
don't just go back into your house.
Get into your car or walk on foot to a remote location
without internet access.
You can't just be disconnected from a network.
There should be no networks available to scan for at all.
Make yourself comfortable and open that information limit page again.
Hit refresh.
Another page should load up, despite the lack of connection,
it'll be a login screen with a single prompt.
Enter access point.
What you want to do is enter the string of numbers you memorized earlier,
except for the last two digits.
Most people who try this, just type in the string as it is.
Do not do this.
Or you'll be met with a horrible fate.
Pay attention and refrain from fucking it up.
Once this is done correctly,
you'll be directed to something that looks like the Wikipedia homepage,
but just a bit different.
Now, I'm not quite sure what kind of site this is
or where it even originates from.
A lot of people just call it the forbidden wiki.
myself included.
I need to note something of great importance here.
If the page that loaded up is not in English
or whatever language that you originally accessed it from,
then click off immediately and go home.
You shouldn't try and subject yourself to any of the images
that may pop up on the pages you visit.
They aren't meant for you.
Aren't meant for human perception at all.
If you glance upon these images,
you'll end up with a fate,
worse than the one that you'd get if you enter the entire string into the prompt.
And that one is bad to begin with.
You're curious, but don't take the risk.
But if the page is in the language you recognize, then go ahead and proceed.
You're going to notice that the Wikipedia symbol will now be a bit different than the one
you're familiar with.
It might be a different shape, a different color, different symbols, perhaps.
More often than not, it'll look more ominous, more...
sinister, I suppose,
that the articles and topics
you might stumble across on this site
do not exist in our world.
They're not something we need to be worried about.
Don't stay up at night thinking about what you'll see.
As far as we need to be concerned,
they're not real.
From this point, you have free range to explore as you please.
Somewhat.
Be sure not to look at more than around 15 pages.
Spending less than a minute on each.
If you linger around forbidden knowledge for too long, they will know you're looking.
And they'll be sure to look for you as well.
This is information that you shouldn't be privy to.
And they'll make sure it remains that way.
All right, so who are they exactly?
Anybody who has a solid answer to that question likely isn't around to divulge it.
Just know that they are not from this plane of reality.
That they possess far more strength and knowledge than you could ever imagine.
Don't think you'll be able to evade or, God forbid, try and fight back against them.
Even the most decorated government field agent who's been through hell and back wouldn't even come close to succeeding.
Humans that try and overstep the boundaries of what they're supposed to know are nothing but pesky bugs that need to be exterminated to them.
Or in the worst case, bugs that need to be made an example out of first.
But don't be too scared.
Like I said, just don't linger on any one page for two.
long and don't visit too many. If you do this, you'll more or less be able to bypass their
detection. But don't think this means you're somehow getting the best of them. You need to
read and analyze these forbidden articles for upwards of hours before understanding what they truly
mean and the ramifications of their existence in the multiverse. With less than a minute
of exposure, you'll only be able to gain a surface level understanding of the subjects at
best. And they hardly care about that. However,
there's a way to legitimately bypass their detection,
enabling you to look at the articles for a longer duration of time,
but these involve complicated strategies that require extensive knowledge
in both programming and arcane occult rituals.
And even then, the risk is still astronomically high.
Again, not.
You might be wondering why you just can't take pictures and screenshots
and look over them afterwards for however long you want.
Well, I suppose you could, but it makes no difference.
They'll still know you're looking and react accordingly.
So, why bother bringing any kind of weapon, you might ask?
Well, it's not to fight back against them.
Like I said, that's a fruitless effort.
Nah, these weapons are for the lurkers.
Sometimes, if you're unlucky, around 15% of the time, like I said,
your mere digital presence on the forbidden wiki will alert them to your location.
And it's something that cannot be helped.
but even though the lurkers aren't in any way affiliated with them,
they do have comparable goals.
They don't want you looking at that information either.
But unlike them, the lurkers don't want you to have any kind of awareness of the subjects at all.
You won't be able to anticipate them.
They might fall out of a tree if you're in a forest.
They might step out of a dark corner if you're in an abandoned building.
They might crawl.
out of a lake.
You get the gist of it.
You won't see them coming.
Some will be more humanoid in appearance.
Some will look more unfamiliar.
Brian kill you in any way possible
should you keep looking at the site.
One sure way to guarantee your survival in these situations
is to just close the browser,
drop the device, and take off.
If you do this, they'll have no reason to chase you down.
However, if you do want to keep looking, the lurkers aren't impossible to dispose of.
In fact, if you're armed well and have moderate combat experience,
you should be able to wipe them out relatively easily and then continue exploring the site.
Conversely, you could hire somebody else to deal with them on your behalf while you continue browsing.
I'd recommend this option.
Like I said, you can't stay on one page for too long.
And if the lurkers start giving you trouble, then you might be a bit screwed.
I'm not quite sure what the deal is with the lurkers either.
One theory is that there's simply interdimensional agents and mercenaries hired by a third party
who wants to protect their information from outside her eyes.
But then, who is this third party?
And why are they trying to protect the info?
This is why I don't bother with the theorizing.
There's simply too much that we can't know.
Well, now that that's all out of the way,
let me tell you about some of the pages I've come across in the forbidden wiki.
Incident.
The Great Lakes Incent.
was a naval battle that took place across all five Great Lakes on the Canadian-U-S border from 2007 to 2011.
Reports about a mysterious ship rising out of the water alerted Canadian authorities in late 2010.
The belligerents were of an unusual nature, able to withstand conventional weaponry,
possessing multiple heads, considered in between amphibian and humanoid,
finally resolved using fire bombs and chemical weapons.
you to triangle. The beings living on these small scattered islands are extremely hostile towards
human contact, reported to be able to fly, causing trouble for aircraft traveling through,
believed to have originated from a large underwater volcano.
Man missing for 11 days at the Grand Canyon in Arizona, and then they found her vehicle
at the trailhead of the very popular... The Grand Canyon void is a hole in the ground in northwest
Arizona, measuring approximately 4.6 meters in diameter.
Hikers reported staring into the hole for hours on end
before they were dragged away from it by park authorities.
An average of 12 hikers were reported to have jumped into it
during the month of March alone, with their bodies turning up in different countries.
Mr. Dream.
Mr. Dream is an Australian DJ from Perth.
His self-proclaimed style is known as Infernal.
trance. People at his live shows have been reported to experience moments of incredible euphoria
before disemboweling each other in the crowd. The Manhunt is ongoing, with his latest show
reported to have occurred in June 2019 at an underground venue in Paris. The Akroyd Mansion is a
largest state located on the outskirts of Houston, Texas, belonging to the Akroyd family,
famously known for being the founding members of the cult known as the dawn of the collapsing moon.
77 attempts have been made to infiltrate the house, resulting in 587 officer casualties.
Only one member of the Akroyd family has been neutralized.
The members are known to conduct rituals involving biological transformations of the human body.
These creatures react in accordance with lunar cycles, exhibiting the most violent tendencies when the moon appears early in his first quarter.
We can teach you special powers.
Channel 51 News.
Channel 51 News is a controversial news station that broadcasts on Channel 51 between 3 and 4 a.m.
The reports presented on the program have been considered nonsensical and disturbing to the viewers watching.
Sometimes, the hosts have reported incidents that have not occurred up until that point.
Only for these incidents to transpire one week after, as was the case with the Tokyo Massacre.
The location the channel broadcasts out of remains impossible.
to pinpoint. As hard as it may be to believe, these are some examples of the more normal pages
on the wiki. Some of the other ones I've seen are downright fucked, for instance. The eye in the
sky is a large eye measuring approximately 4,400 meters in diameter that appears in the sky
every so often, usually during violent storms. When it appears, it is advised not to look at it
under any circumstances.
The only exception to this rule is for those who have been forsaken and absolutely need to.
You'll know if you need to.
The corner in your basement is that one dark spot in your basement tucked away in that far corner.
No matter how much light you shine on it, it'll never illuminate.
And you'll never know what's lurking within it.
Better figure out what it is soon.
The snowstorm angel is that figure you see in your backyard during heavy snowstorms.
You'll think your eyes are playing a trick on you.
And that your senses are somehow being distorted by the snowfall, but make no mistake, it's there.
People often assume its nature to be benevolent, given its name.
That assumption is incorrect.
These kinds of articles were always shorter in length.
In fact, what I described pretty much represented the entirety of the text.
These articles all included pictures as well.
I regret ever looking at any of them.
You might be wondering why I'm even telling you about the forbidden Wiki at all,
along with how to get there.
As contradictory as it may seem, this is a precautionary tale.
Most people will hear this and believe it to be fake
or simply lack the time, energy, or motivation to go through with it.
Good. There's the people who don't fit that bill.
The thrill seekers, so to do you.
speak. These are the ones who'll look for it no matter what. Eventually they'll find another set of
instructions written by somebody else, but one that might not include a proper warning, one that
doesn't tell the whole story. I'm here to give you that warning. Do this. I thought it was
safe just browsing around. I followed all the rules. I hired hitman off the dark web to accompany
me in case the lurkers showed up. I always made sure not to overstay my welcome on any of the pages
in order to keep myself hidden from them.
The forbidden wiki is a strange and complicated place.
You may think that you've experienced enough
and that you've figured out all of its tricks,
but do not underestimate it.
We were never meant to lay our eyes on something like this.
One more thing I stumbled upon a particular page
the last time I paid a visit to the site.
This was a page that ruined everything.
The title was simply a phone number.
A phone number that contained my,
area code.
Here was the description.
I remember this one verbatim.
1-8-9-35-
is a number that will be calling
you in a few days.
You are obligated to answer his
call and follow his instructions.
If you refuse,
he will come to you.
You will only have
two chances.
I have a basement.
I'm pretty sure there's no demonic entity
living inside my head.
I've never seen a giant.
ain't eye in the sky. I'm in the south, so snowfall is rare and sparse at best. Up until a point,
the shit I've seen on the wiki had been 100% separate and disconnected from my real life.
I really thought I had no cause for concern, but I did get a call. Remember, I really hoped I
wouldn't see again. Please excuse the interruption. Tech support is here to fix the Wi-Fi. I'll get
them squared away and reconnect with you in a bit. Leave a message. Please do something. Please do
show with the time. Yes, I'm a delivery driver, and I recently fixed something up last week.
It didn't really stand my truck very long. I got pulled over by a black vehicle, some people
from a place called the Redwood Bureau or whatever. I've never heard of them before.
They confiscated everything I've picked up from the Antiquarium.
I'm not sure if that's a common occurrence that your business typically deals with,
but it's happened every time I've picked up from there. Please get back to me if you can't,
because things are starting to get weird.
So sorry about that.
Now, let's get back online, shall we?
Internet is a funny place.
The worst dangers hidden well below the surface.
Data leaks and identity theft are genuine concerns,
but as long as one keeps well away from Tor browser and the Silk Road,
nothing too much worse could happen, right?
I'm sure you like scary stories.
I do too.
So what could be better than a supposedly cursed story?
As the legend goes, you read the story and start to notice happenings.
It differs for every person, but the end is always the same.
Always take you.
And there you stay forever.
There is no getting out.
And so, by random chance, I had found the story.
After scrolling through a few creepy pencil drawings, I finally had the chance to read it.
It wasn't good.
Aside from a plethora of grammatical errors, it was just another monster story.
The monsters haunted and stalked you, then took you away forever.
What do you fear most?
But I wasn't scared.
But the monsters hunted in a very peculiar way.
You see, ignorance was bliss in this case.
Paints the image and the image manifests the demon.
Only then may they take you.
But for that, all you need possess is their name.
Don't say their name.
Don't even think it.
Keep the image in your mind.
because that is all they need.
They may not reveal themselves immediately,
but at some point, they come for you.
And there's nothing you can do.
It took me a couple days for me to process that story.
I think that's when I started to notice the hallucinations.
Minor ones at first, but that was the start of a downward spiral.
I had seen things.
Forget a flickering light or a moving chair.
I had seen grisly entities,
experienced my deepest fears,
and relived the worst of my memories.
Much to my horror.
I also caught a glimpse of what was to be wasn't pretty.
Last night I was in their world.
My every fear, a subject of experimentation to them,
I will choose not to mention the pain, but the worst part was the dread.
For that was the first time I heard them speak.
Their voices were, they told me that the following night I would dream once more,
only this time I wouldn't come back.
This time I would be theirs forever.
That's when I gave up hope.
I included all this in an email to my ex.
I didn't have anyone else to talk to, nor did I think she'd open it up until long after I was gone, but to my surprise, I got two texts just ten minutes later.
You sound like a psychopath, LMAO, followed by a question about what they were.
It's important to note that I had nearly lost my mind at this point, important because that was the only reasonable excuse for the behavior that followed.
I responded with.
Thank you for your patronage.
Hope you enjoyed your new relic
as much as I've enjoyed passing along
its sordid history.
It does come with our usual warning, however.

no exchanges,
and we won't be held liable
for anything that may
or may not occur
while the object is in your possession.
If you've got an artifact
with mysterious properties.
Perhaps it's accompanied by a history of bizarre and disturbing circumstances.
Maybe you'd be interested in dropping it and its story by the shop to share with other customers.
Please reach out to antiquarium shop at gmail.com.
A member of our team will be in touch.
Till next time, we'll be waiting for you.
Whenever you close your eyes, in the space between sleep and dream, during regular business hours, of course, or by appointment, only for you, our best customer.
