Lemmy Scare You! A community for sharing short scary stories.

Inspired by r/nosleep, but without the "Everything here is true" and "You can't criticize the OP" rule. Post your scariest original short stories here.

Rules are simple:

  1. Be nice, criticize constructively, no name-calling.
  2. No obvious AI generated stories, or other spam.
  3. Everything posted here is creative fiction, any similarity to real life is pure coincidence.
  4. Prompts are allowed, but should be prefaced with "[WP]"
  5. Collaborative storytelling is fun, so if you'd like to continue your own story or other people's story as a series in the comments, start your comment with [CHAIN]
  6. Troll/Parody Stories would be allowed on Sundays, but the title should start with "[PARODY]"

A week later, I decided to abandon the property purchase and stay away from the entire area. I'm not sure how easy it could have been to fake raw photos 20 years ago, but the things i found on that phone, combined with the number of estates in the area settled under a "presumption of death" for the disappear of their owners was enough to convince me not to waste any more time there.
