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

The voice of God experiment story was the best one in this thread fwiw.

I keep having this recurring dream that I'm running through a dark swampy forest, trying to reach my truck. Running from something I can't see, but it is evil. My friends are with me, all get pulled in the trees, and bloodcurdling screams are heard. Blood gets spattered on my face

Finally I reach my truck and jump inside, grab for my shotgun. Throw it in reverse to leave and in the headlights see a friend emerge, covered in blood screaming, his arm missing and other arm holding in his intestines. A dark form looms behind him in the shadows... I go to get out of the truck and then I wake up everytime at this point.

It's so real like I can feel and see/hear everything. I will wake up in horror sweating profusely. I can't explain it but the dream is fricked up.

Posting so I can come back to this thread during the day

LOL!! Me tooo! I hate that... BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!! shite

That smiling man mother fricker, fricking hate whoever posted that.


Hearing Gods voice was creepy as frick too

All around just a creepy thread

I'm quite sure my college apartment was haunted. The previous tenants mentioned to us when we moved in that they had noticed odd noises and lights flickering etc over the years. When my roommate and I first moved in, we started to notice the same. Even had the television turn on in the middle of the day and cut off at various times while watching it. That is all my roommate ever experienced, but I had 3 other instances of WTF:

We had a split level condo (living room, dining room, kitchen, 1/2 bath downstairs...2 bedrooms and full bath upstairs).

Instance #1:
My roommate is sleeping over at his girlfriends' place. It is Sunday morning. I hear the downstairs door open and close and footsteps coming up the stairs. I figure it is my roommate and so I call out to him. No answer, but the footsteps stop. I get up and look in his room, he's not there. I go downstairs, no one is there. Door is locked shut. I go back to my room and lie there. I start to hear what sounds like a woman singing. Thinking it is my neighbor's radio, I disregard it and just lie there wondering what the hell I had heard. I get up and open my closet door and I can hear the singing much louder now. (the entrance to the attic is through a door in the ceiling of my closet). I got freaked out and got the hell out of there.

Instance #2:
My roommate and I get home from a night out at the bar. (note: from 19-21 I did not drink alcohol and this was during that time period). My roommate is wasted and I help him get to bed, then go to my room, shower, turn of the lights and hop in bed myself. About 20 minutes later the overhead light in my room turns on. I about shite myself. Look around. Nothing. Heart racing, I go over to the light switch and the damn thing is turned up! As if someone just flicked it. I burst into my roommate's room and ask him why he turned my light on. Of course, I wake him because he is in a drunken coma and he is now cursing me to no end. Needless to say I got no sleep that night.

Instance #3:
I was using the bathroom downstairs while my roommate left the apartment to go to dinner with his girlfriend. When I finished, I walked into the living room and saw the front door was wide open. I looked all around downstairs and there was nothing amiss. I called my roommate and asked him if he had closed the door when he left. He said "of course, I locked it like always." Ok, now I'm shitting bricks. At this point, I'm thinking someone has broken into the apartment. I grab a 3 Iron from a bag of golf clubs we had downstairs and start walking up the stairs to check the bedrooms for an intruder. About halfway up, I freeze and start telling myself that this is the part in the movie where everyone is yelling at the person on screen not to go upstairs. So, I chicken out and leave the apartment, watching the front door to see if anyone tries to exit. Call the police and they come and do a search. No intruder, nothing missing.

After that, we never had any more problems with odd sounds or electrical issues. I like to think the last experience was whatever the hell was sharing our apartment with us leaving the premises.

Wow, this thread is back?

Long but worth it.

Russian researchers in the late 1940s kept five people awake for fifteen days using an experimental gas based stimulant. They were kept in a sealed environment to carefully monitor their oxygen intake so the gas didn't kill them, since it was toxic in high concentrations. This was before closed circuit cameras so they had only microphones and 5 inch thick glass porthole sized windows into the chamber to monitor them. The chamber was stocked with books, cots to sleep on but no bedding, running water and toilet, and enough dried food to last all five for over a month. The test subjects were political prisoners deemed enemies of the state during World War II. Everything was fine for the first five days; the subjects hardly complained having been promised (falsely) that they would be freed if they submitted to the test and did not sleep for 30 days. Their conversations and activities were monitored and it was noted that they continued to talk about increasingly traumatic incidents in their past, and the general tone of their conversations took on a darker aspect after the 4 day mark. After five days they started to complain about the circumstances and events that lead them to where they were and started to demonstrate severe paranoia. They stopped talking to each other and began alternately whispering to the microphones and one way mirrored portholes. Oddly they all seemed to think they could win the trust of the experimenters by turning over their comrades, the other subjects in captivity with them. At first the researchers suspected this was an effect of the gas itself... After nine days the first of them started screaming. He ran the length of the chamber repeatedly yelling at the top of his lungs for 3 hours straight, he continued attempting to scream but was only able to produce occasional squeaks. The researchers postulated that he had physically torn his vocal cords. The most surprising thing about this behavior is how the other captives reacted to it... or rather didn't react to it. They continued whispering to the microphones until the second of the captives started to scream. The 2 non-screaming captives took the books apart, smeared page after page with their own feces and pasted them calmly over the glass portholes. The screaming promptly stopped. So did the whispering to the microphones. After 3 more days passed. The researchers checked the microphones hourly to make sure they were working, since they thought it impossible that no sound could be coming with 5 people inside. The oxygen consumption in the chamber indicated that all 5 must still be alive. In fact it was the amount of oxygen 5 people would consume at a very heavy level of strenuous exercise. On the morning of the 14th day the researchers did something they said they would not do to get a reaction from the captives, they used the intercom inside the chamber, hoping to provoke any response from the captives they were afraid were either dead or vegetables. They announced: "We are opening the chamber to test the microphones step away from the door and lie flat on the floor or you will be shot. Compliance will earn one of you your immediate freedom." To their surprise they heard a single phrase in a calm voice response: "We no longer want to be freed." Debate broke out among the researchers and the military forces funding the research. Unable to provoke any more response using the intercom it was finally decided to open the chamber at midnight on the fifteenth day. The chamber was flushed of the stimulant gas and filled with fresh air and immediately voices from the microphones began to object. 3 different voices began begging, as if pleading for the life of loved ones to turn the gas back on. The chamber was opened and soldiers sent in to retrieve the test subjects. They began to scream louder than ever, and so did the soldiers when they saw what was inside. Four of the five subjects were still alive, although no one could rightly call the state that any of them in 'life.' The food rations past day 5 had not been so much as touched. There were chunks of meat from the dead test subject's thighs and chest stuffed into the drain in the center of the chamber, blocking the drain and allowing 4 inches of water to accumulate on the floor. Precisely how much of the water on the floor was actually blood was never determined. All four 'surviving' test subjects also had large portions of muscle and skin torn away from their bodies. The destruction of flesh and exposed bone on their finger tips indicated that the wounds were inflicted by hand, not with teeth as the researchers initially thought. Closer examination of the position and angles of the wounds indicated that most if not all of them were self-inflicted. The abdominal organs below the ribcage of all four test subjects had been removed. While the heart, lungs and diaphragm remained in place, the skin and most of the muscles attached to the ribs had been ripped off, exposing the lungs through the ribcage. All the blood vessels and organs remained intact, they had just been taken out and laid on the floor, fanning out around the eviscerated but still living bodies of the subjects. The digestive tract of all four could be seen to be working, digesting food. It quickly became apparent that what they were digesting was their own flesh that they had ripped off and eaten over the course of days. Most of the soldiers were Russian special operatives at the facility, but still many refused to return to the chamber to remove the test subjects. They continued to scream to be left in the chamber and alternately begged and demanded that the gas be turned back on, lest they fall asleep... To everyone's surprise the test subjects put up a fierce fight in the process of being removed from the chamber. One of the Russian soldiers died from having his throat ripped out, another was gravely injured by having his testicles ripped off and an artery in his leg severed by one of the subject's teeth. Another 5 of the soldiers lost their lives if you count ones that committed suicide in the weeks following the incident. In the struggle one of the four living subjects had his spleen ruptured and he bled out almost immediately. The medical researchers attempted to sedate him but this proved impossible. He was injected with more than ten times the human dose of a morphine derivative and still fought like a cornered animal, breaking the ribs and arm of one doctor. When heart was seen to beat for a full two minutes after he had bled out to the point there was more air in his vascular system than blood. Even after it stopped he continued to scream and flail for another 3 minutes, struggling to attack anyone in reach and just repeating the word "MORE" over and over, weaker and weaker, until he finally fell silent.
