re: What’s the scariest/most interesting internet rabbit hole you’ve been down?

Randall Carlson

Two interesting guys.

I would have to say the expanded universe of the SCP (Secure, Contain, Protect) Foundation. I just randomly came across youtube videos on it one day. Then I found myself googling certain SCPs to read more. Essentially, you have tons of people that create/edit stories about supernatural beings and creatures and other "anomalies". Scary what people can come up with. Not all of it is scary though.

SIA for the wall of text. This one isn't scary, but an example:

SCP-073 "Cain" appears to be a heavily-tanned male of Arabic or Middle Eastern descent in his early thirties, 185 cm (6'1") tall and 75 kg (165 lbs), with black hair and blue eyes. Arms, legs, spinal cord, and shoulder blades of the subject appear to have been replaced with artificial versions of unknown make and metal. Subject only takes notice of this when it is pointed out, and states that it has no knowledge of how, why, or when these replacements took place, stating it had had them as long as it could remember. There is a symbol engraved into the forehead of the subject, which appears to be of Sumerian origin. Symbol has of yet been translated, and subject appears distressed when the symbol is mentioned at all, refusing to speak on it. Subject does need to eat and drink on a regular basis, but is strictly carnivorous owing to its effect on plant-based items.

SCP-073's presence is inimical to any and all life grown in soil, causing death to any such life within a twenty (20) meter radius. Any land SCP-073 has walked on (and any within the twenty [20] meter radius) becomes barren as all anaerobic bacteria dies, rendering the soil incapable of supporting life until new bacteria are introduced. Anything that is derived from soil-grown life, such as wood and paper, immediately rots and disintegrates upon touch of SCP-073. Further affected derivatives include anything hydroponically grown.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-073 is to be kept in a two (2) room cell furnished with all non-organic furniture and items, and a bathroom. Subject is allowed to freely wander the facility and eat in the main canteen. A tracking device has been attached to SCP-073's person and is not to be removed. Subject is disallowed any contact with the surface, and is not allowed outside the facility. Subject is allowed no contact with plant-based SCPs under any circumstances. Violence is not to be used against SCP-073 under any circumstances.

TLDR: SCP Foundation- fictional stories made up about secret organization and anomalies they encounter (secure, contain, protect).

Keddie Cabin Murders -


I've driven by the town before - it is out in the middle of absolute nowhere.

Mortis.com conspiracy

Summary:Finding out anything about mortis.com is a strange, tortuous process. There’s only one thing everyone agrees on for sure: it was deeply weird.
