I will be the first to admit that though I am jumpy, many things don’t really scare me any more. I might get creeped out, but usually my sense of intrigue and curiosity soars with horror. However today I was introduced to something that scared the living daylights out of me. I kept having to pause the video. Then when I learned that it was based off a Reddit user’s story, I had to talk myself into reading it. “It’ll be good research for your next project!” “It won’t be as bad as the video!” Boy, oh boy was I wrong. Living in a big city just got more frightening. This is refreshingly uncomfortable feeling.

Check out the video here:

 

There is something horrifying in the silence I think. Also the juxtaposition of a smile, something that should bring comfort, with the scenario of being stalked by a stranger is uncomfortable. The article that I was lead to that held this lovely story hold some more incredibly creepy and disturbing things– all stemming from the internet.

 

Sweet dreams,

P.S. If you haven’t done so, do me a HUGE favor and take my survey. Maybe I can create something scarier than this.
