re: Need to Kill Time: What's a story that you've heard that still gives you chills

I was going caving with a bunch of friends in rural Southern Kentucky back in the late 70's...we were traveling in a Chevy Blazer crossing a long two lane bridge, and as we neared the end of the bridge we could see that there was a sharp turn imediately after the bridge... suddenly we were passed from behind by someone in a TransAm who was going at least 90mph, who swung wide around us, passing on the wrong side of the road, right into the blind curve! He made it and as he disappeared from sight, and we all shook our heads a what a stupid move he'd made, and I spoke up from the back seat, and said "One day he's gonna fly around that curve and run head-on into a Jaguar coming in from the opposite direction!" As soon as I said it, I realized just how dumb that sounded, a Jaguar in BumF*** Kentucky, but amazingly (and thankfully) no one called me on it... two minutes later, and a mile or so down the road we passed a house that had a British racing green E Type Jaguar parked beside the house....and suddenly everyone was saying how they'd been thinking that I was too stupid to reply to...

It was told many years ago around a campfire... The tale of the unforgivable.

In a year unknown to anyone, there was this family. A simple family. Small town, house, job, the works. They weren't wealthy. They were not poor. Just another citizen of this great country. This time of year, there is a big tournament. It comes every 4 years. The team won some, then drew one. It was down to one last chance. His wife asked him just to make conversation... "When do we play this deciding game?" He did not know. But he knew where to find the answer... In the place where no one returns. This is a bad place. A special place reserved for child molester's and people who talk in movie theaters. This place was once written about by the great Dante. Yes. It is the unknown 12th circle of hell where no man can be forgiven for his sins.

So he picks up his device. "It can't be that bad, can it?" He clicks a button a few times. Types some letters in. There it is. He is now one click away from it. His wife sees this. "You can do it babe. If God didn't want us there, he wouldn't have placed it there for us to eat it's knowledge up."

He went there.

He got the information he seeked. He left the page. Everything was as it was suppose to be... He thought. That night, he woke up to sweat and vomit all over the place. The lights wouldn't come on. His wife was missing. His family gone. He was not at home. Darkness all around him. All he heard was screams. He felt something. Something grabbed him and it wasn't human. It spoke in crazy languages that demonic angels would fear. He smelt of elderberries. He reaked of horrors. He carried a black and white patched ball that looks to come from the darkness of nightmares... And that is when it hit him. He committed a sin that no one overcomes. He has entered into hell. His hell. Nothing was normal around him. Nothing can ever be normal again. He saw things, heard things, witness things...

And became another unforgiven causality of the Soccer board.

Noooooooooooooo not again

So glad it's back. Time to hunt for more stories.

I was hoping for a little reaction from someone on the soccer board, but yes this is a great thread with great stories.

I've been hopping on reddit nosleep here and there ever since this thread started, and I still haven't found one that is better than Penpals (the Footsteps, Boxes, Maps, etc. one I've posted several times throughout the thread). It's amazing.

I did finally read all of the Case Files one. It was incredibly long (~170 pages when copied into Word), but pretty interesting (even if unbelievably fictional).

Also read the "Correspondence" series, and it was pretty solid as well. It's long as frick (~160 pages in Word) and difficult to follow at times, but a pretty legit series though.

ETA: and I do check google to see if the "Found something weird in my office basement" story is ever updated, and it still hasn't been. That one had some serious potential after only two parts. Dammit.

I have not. Is that one ongoing? I normally try to only read ones that are finished so that I can read the thing as a whole with an ending..

And reality isn't a dealbreaker for me, but IMO it's more fun when they are presented as real (I know everything on nosleep "is real"). But the Case Files one is just so overly outlandish that it's funny at times. But it's still great reading and entertaining though, no doubt.

Black-Eyed Kids story

^ this. First time I clicked on it... Alone at 2am.
