In 2015, a writer named C.K. Walker posted a story to Reddit's r/nosleep forum about a boy named Sam who moves to a perfect small town in the Ozark Mountains... and slowly realizes the friendly neighbors and idyllic streets are built on decades of abduction, forced labor, and silence. When his teenage sister vanishes and his two best friends follow, Sam spends the next fifteen years unraveling a conspiracy that an entire community chose to protect.

Twisted Tales with Heidi Wong

Borrasca: The Sound on the Mountain | Creepypastas

In 2010, writer Matt Dymerski published a creepypasta called Psychosis: a journal written by a programmer slowly convinced that everyone he knows has been replaced by something only pretending to be them. Trapped in a windowless basement apartment, cut off from direct human contact, he begins to notice that nothing reaches him except through screens, speakers, and wires. The deeper he investigates, the more the line between paranoia and survival dissolves.

Psychosis: When Screens Replace Reality | Creepypastas

In 2009, a web cartoonist named Kris Straub published a short story formatted as an internet forum thread, in which a group of strangers collectively reconstruct a disturbing children's TV show called Candle Cove. One that, by the final post, they realize was never actually broadcast. The story weaponizes nostalgia and the science of false memory, turning the warmest corner of childhood into something genuinely unsettling. It then did something no other creepypasta had done: it escaped into the real world and became the exact myth it was imitating.

Candle Cove: The Kids' TV Show That Wasn’t There | Creepypastas

Andrew Erics is a twenty-five-year-old factory worker in New York City who passes his daily commute by people-watching... until he notices riders who are too still, too blank, and going absolutely nowhere. What begins as quiet curiosity slowly consumes his job, his sanity, and finally his freedom, pulling him into an impossible underground world he may never escape. And the deeper he follows, the more he transforms into the very thing that unsettled him.

Introducing: The First 48 | From Crime House and A&E

In 1976, Soviet cosmonaut Boris Volynov endured a catastrophic solo stint aboard the Salyut 5 space station: contaminated air, a crumbling support system, and a rescue that nearly ended in disaster. The creepypasta "The Devil's Cosmonaut" takes that real mission and asks one quiet question: what if it wasn't just the air? Built on documented failures, classified silence, and the psychological terror of absolute isolation, this story blurs the line between breakdown and haunting in ways that are hard to shake.
