barbie.avi. yes i was retarded. still am
>>42800559Herobrine
>>42800559i could differentiate reality from fiction at a very young age. so none stupid idiot god you were such a dumb fucking kid lmao.
>>42801387I mean back then creepypastas usually had mysterious origins online which is what lead teenagers to believe they’re real. They mainly died in popularity around the mid 2010s when their online origins started becoming known (and that slenderman stabbing shit also played a role)Reminds me of how many people thought the Blair Witch Project was real because of its whole marketing campaign and how found footage styled films were a unique concept at the time.
>>42800559Slenderman got me when I was 12 or so. Mainly the egregore aspect of thinking about him will make him come for you
>>42800559Pokemon Black, mostly due to that one Pokemon ROMhack that was real and more overtly creepy. Black was subdued enough for me to believe it for a few months.Also a few greentexts seemed plausible to me as a teenager, but I couldn't name many without seeing them. Hollywoodanon where Redd Foxx's death was actually a cover-up, but I don't think I believed it for long. The Epstein guy was plausible, but I leaned toward that being fake immediately. There's probably a /k/ story or two I believed.>>42801387To be fair, some are straight up real. Not many.
>>42802901>To be fair, some are straight up real. Not many.I would assume none of those real ones are the mainstream gay shit like Jeff the Killer or any of the slasher ones for that matter
>>42803215Yeah none of the super mainstream ones, obviously. MARIO.exe was real, but it kind of sucked. A lot of romhacks are real and the reports on them are real. Sadsatan counts too imo. Some of the other ones are unsolved mysteries and shit like that that were reworded into a creepypasta.
>>42800559Not a zoomer but I legit fell for lavender town syndrome. Didnt grow up with internet so when I moved out and got it I had zero defense mechanisms lol.
>>42802901>but I leaned toward that being fake immediatelyIDK anon.........Call me retarded but i think that one's real.
>>42803925It's way more credible since it's in the files, and I think the anon got some disconcerting facts right. I'm pretty sure he mentioned the temple had a basement dungeon, which was confirmed to be real. I also think he mentioned masks, maybe even the satan mask. There wasn't a bull's head mask anywhere in the files, which could have clinched it for me. Also, I don't think there's anything about Roger Stone or Romney's children in the files.Point being, I don't think anyone's retarded for believing it per se, but I don't believe it. I'd have to reread it to elaborate on the parts I find incredulous, but idgaf at the moment.
>>42800559pic rel actually, that shit fucked me up
>>42804018>the goy filesIts clear, contextually, from the contents, that the files released are the tiniest tip of the iceberg, so absence of evidence doesn't mean much in this case, I think.It is interesting to note the absence of reference to those two specific people, and shows you've clearly done some fact-checking of the 'stein green using what was already released. But in regards to the temple basement and masks, the supposed revelation of the existence of these in the files surprises me exactly zero, its just about the most obvious and stereotypical creepypasta tropes. But to be fair, does potentially lend credence to 'stein anon.Also I just looked at the greentext again and anon said he said he was "loaned out" to the son, and the way these circles run, there's many layers of obfuscation, so it seems perfectly reasonable to me that there's no reference to any of that part of the story, the OD'd hooker and stuff, in the files, cuz why would there be? the lack of Stone stuff would be harder to ignore but again lack of evidence in this case doesn't prove much to me. Picrel was the part that clinched it for me and is by far my favorite part of the whole text. Its easy to make up a hundred stories about how i Le witnessed them eating babies or whatever, but this one slice of life humanizing him in a way I haven't seen anywhere else, so intimate....if its not real, its a damn good pasta...
>>42800559>what creepypastas did you believe were real as a kid?Just about all of them. Lost my whimsical view of the world as I grew up, but I'm trying to regain it
Most of the weird Russian once. Deep Russia has always seemed fascinating to me. Their old forests, too.
>>42804018>>42804231Yeah so I was looking into this more as my interest was reignited and yeah.........ghislane was arrested almost exactly 8 hours after OP went dark...............picrel...
>>42801328Real
>>42803911pokemon green's lavender town song sounded like total ass. the internat'l version was so so so much better.but i personally have a weirdity about lavender town's song. i like the intnat'l version from R/B, and i liked the way over the top remake of it, because they go all out making it 2spoopy. but it's the gold/silver version song that gets stuck in my head, and i don't like that one.whenever i think of R/B lavender town song, it morphs into the G/S version and i don't like it.
>>42800559suicide mouse or whatever it was called, I genuinely thought you'd an hero after watching it.
>>42800559I was SHIT scared of accidentally stumbling upon the "real" Lavender Town Pokemon track, and having a fucking song from a gameboy game plunge me into suicide
Surprised that most of the ones people in this thread believed are the video game ones, most of those ones fucking sucked.>>42804492Most cartoon/lost episode creepypastas are even worse and were written mostly by autistic 13 year olds, Candle Cove and 1999 are the only good ones if you can even count them as such.
>>42802901>>42804362>>42804662That’s such a playground rumor ass creepypasta, I remember in like fifth grade some classmate told me that shit
I have a questionWhat creepy pastas were actually real?
>>42805761There are a lot of ones that feel like they could be real, but most likely aren't.Borrasca in the wake of Epstein.
>>42800559most of them
>>42800559This is how you know that Zoomers are retarded. For believing in creepypastas
>>42805761No ffs
>>42805761Candle Cove
>>42800559there was only ever 1ted the caverhttps://teds-caving-page.netlify.app/
>>42806582I’ve seen people on this board believe in more retarded shit.
>>42806927“You were watching the tv, laughing so hard, and it was turned off, you said “these puppets are so funny, this is the most hilarious thing I’ve ever seen” “I had reaally bad allergiesReally really bad
>>42807125it's not real? sadge
>>42805761Crybaby Lane turned out to be real, it was just way lamer than people expected
>>42805270Yeah nigga, and it was believable. I 100% believed some guy would put a ROMhack on a Pokemon cart and release it into the wild. No spooky ghosts, no advanced programming, no serial killers or any of that bullshit. I'm actually surprised there isn't a playable version somewhere.>>42803925>>42804231>>42804348I couldn't remember what tipped me off on it being fake exactly. I remembered it being some specifics about the island in general and also the Swiss getaway. So I looked into it.The Deadman's story is way more credible to me now:>While there is a Cole Romney, Deadman never stated that Cole was directly related to the Romney family>There is no way to prove Cole Romney had a suspended license due to privacy laws (I could be wrong)>Coordinates pop up on 4th of July Road, which is County Road 111>Rhianna stuff mostly checks out in regards to tour/festival dates (2011-2012)>Roger Stone's back tattoo was public but whatever>The Swiss thing doesn't check out if you take Epstein at his word that he specifically owned it>However, if you assume Epstein dumbed it down for his driver or told a lie...>Epstein hunted two properties: Villa Rose and Canton of Zug. He never purchased them>Prince Andrew, however, bought the Verbier Chalet in 2014~>He had to sell in 2020~ because he refused to pay for it>Epstein had "classes" on Lake Geneva, near Verbier Chalet>Switzerland doesn't have chill AoC laws, but it's notoriously "private">Masks check out>Underground tunnels/rooms check out>Fake door checks out>Epstein usually sat in France when he was in Europe, so the French boy checks out>Marcus and Dennis are questionable>However, two men with those names were arrested on child abuse charges>The journalist is the only thing I can't be certain on, maybe the pigSpooky.
>>42800559Where the bad children go, if anyone here knows that one, i dont think it was that famous
>>42805270In my playground from fifth-sixth grade the creepypasta rumors would be the most retarded shit imaginable, all the kids would make up their own Creepypastas or their own retarded lore, one kid tried telling a horror story about a killer Elf on the Shelf or some shit, another kid also said that Barney is Slendermans wife and that he can be seen hidden in the background of a Barney episode, another kid said that Slenderman is made of literal autism that causes suffering in autistic peoples lives (our ideas of autism back then were from the weird videos our teachers shown us during autism awareness month like "how autistic people see the world" type shit), one kid also pretended that he has the supernatural ability to see ghosts.
>>42800559>42807776 MINES BETTER
>>42807770At a certain point my thinking just becomes like, its clear they do shit precisely like what deadman anon describes, and worse. Therefore, it may as well be true. And its really all the more sweet to imagine it is, because it proves that nothing this vile can stay truly secret despite any money.To that end I think the most damning part is that ghislane was arrested the day after. What the fuck kind of coincidence is that? not one, as far as i see it. In an article I was reading, the authorities said they had been watching her for a while, so maybe deadman anon gave them just enough evidence to call it. or, more cynically, they already knew exactly who she is, and deadman anon just made it unignorable anymore for whatever reason.I hope he didn't an hero. link below relatedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyZedeHUySg
>>42807820those sound hilarious, make one of those "12 spoopy stories to tell at a campfire" books.
>>42807820In my 4th-6th days we were trying to figure out ways on how to summon creepypastas, one of the ones I found scary was Abandoned by Disney cause I guess Mickey Mouse with inverted colors scary, and someone suggested that to summon him you gotta block all Disney-owned channels on your tv
>>42808045AAAHHHH!
>>42803215>any of the slasher ones for that matterAre there any slasher creepypastas that are actually scary? I haven’t read whatever the fuck Eyeless Jack, Jane the Killer, and Ticci Toby came from but they seem as lame and gay as Jeff the Killer to me.
>>42800559Talking Angela.Fuck do I know why.We all pretty much did.
>>42807255nah. you can tell at the end. but the build up to it, i was all-in.
>>42800559the russian sleep experiment, I genuinely thought it was a real thing they did all the way until I was like 15/16I was very retarded, nut I guess I was believing it cause I was hoping that something interesting was happening in this world and that it wasnt just this boring bs we live infast forward to todaythe story of the russian sleep experiment doesnt even get close to the attrocities that high class people/people in power ACTUALLY doso I guess I got what I wanted lol
>>42809700The Russian Sleep Experiment sounded real to me as a kid knowing all the fucked up experiments the soviets did.
>>42810387yeah thats also one of the reasons I believed it, and the pictures they used also looked hella convincing since they were all so low quality lookingIm kind of disappointed that its not real cause its a really cool and interesting story, but I guess its better that its not real since it would be pretty fucked up and inhumane lol
Creepypastas were shit but I miss them, like when all of my classmates were talking about internet horror shit like Five Nights At Freddy’s, Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared, and Creepypastas and coming up with retarded fan theories and headcanons was the funniest shit ever. As anons here mentioned their was a whole playground rumor aspect to them, when I worked with kids this summer the only horror shit they were talking about was Roblox slop like Animal Hospital and Dandys World and whatever with Sonic.exe being the final holdover from that era of pastas. Wonder if kids these days believe that the characters from horror games they play are real like how many retards in my elementary school class thought that Freddy Fazbears Pizza was a real location.
>>42804018>>42807770>Romney's children>Cole RomneyWait, when did that anon mention Romney? It's been awhile since I read the story
>>42809468Mild attractive law, the answers bend towards certain probasbilities.
>>42809468Tons of parents straight up didn’t want us downloading the game because of that shit lmao
>>42809700>>42810387RSE was scary when I first read it, but is babby mode now that I'm a grown-ass man.>>42810600See, that's the thing. It's not that crazy when you compare it to reality. Not even /x/ shit. Unit 731 was worse than the RSE and that was real. America used to inject people with syphilis for fun. The Soviets used bullshit psychiatry diagnoses to test drugs, sometimes putting people in comas or injecting sulphur into their veins. Some other Soviet guy tried to make humanzees and you can imagine how that went. China had the dying rooms and shit like that.I'd take the anti-sleep drug over any of that, like fuck it bro
>>42810848Early on in the story. Epstein loaned him out to the Romney's before he did anything truly crazy for Epstein.Cole was a nepobaby junkie with a suspended license. Deadmanon was his driver. Apparently Cole killed a woman and called Deadmanon to help clean it up along with some spook buddies. Deadmanon fucked up, slightly, but he was cleared after that and Epstein took him on as a proper island employee.
>>42812492 multiple*
On a related topic, did any of you guys ever believe any SCPs were real?I used to be paranoid that one of those fuckers would escape, SCP-610 scared the shit out of me.
>>42800559all of them, because I played along on /x/, and I wanted to get spooked
>>42810803Internet horror these days is just more spread out now, big creepypastas occasionally happen every few years now, in 2018 there was the Momo challenge, 2019-2021 had Siren Head and other Trevor Henderson creatures, 2023-now has the Backrooms, etc.and like you said, Sonic EXE and other video game creepypastas live on in FNF mods and YT kids slop
