This is horrendously sad. The idea of your girlfriend alone, cold, begging for help, but not understanding why her boyfriend isn't helping is heartbreaking
The vibe I got from this is that she isn’t malicious. She’s lost and reaching through the cold for her dead lover. Unintentionally realizing how horrifying she is.
Totally agree. I think she's reaching out desperately not in a malicious way, but for help and he's not only her boyfriend but also the only way she has to communicate
I think it might be a play on the Wuthering Heights ghost?? Catherine is outside, and she keeps asking heathcliff to let her in. She says she’s so cold outside and asking him to let her in. He throws open the door and begs her to come inside but we never see her coming in. Just the lost soul of his lover eternally left out in the cold and looking for him, begging him to make her feel warm and alive again.
The idea that someone would go to a channel called CreepCast, barrel through multiple viewer discretion warnings, and then complain about disturbing content is a testament to how horrific Borrasca really is.
Unfortunately I've been subjected to so many excessive content warnings, that I pretty well just tune them out. Borrasca is one of the few times that I ignored the warning and regretted it.
I love this combination of one of the most vulgar creators on UA-cam and the Sunday school teacher who dare not say a single curse word. Both brought together by a love for horror. Truly poetic.
@@Nobody_Fn_Important Borrasca is pretty messed up, but it is an incredibly well crafted story. First "no sleep" story i ever read that felt more like a novel id pay money for rather than a free online story. He did meat daddy, and all of us, a favor by bringing it to the show. The victims are fictional. And even when similar things happen irl, it should be acknowledged. You cant fix something you like to pretend doesnt exist.
literally my favourite pairing to happen on this platform. They're so good together, and their names combine so wonderfully. Wendimeat (delicious wendigo meat) or Canyongoon (goonin in the canyon with ya boys).
@@karenamyx2205 of that there is no doubt, and it would make for an excellent movie too (though a novel would probably be better than the movie) just saying that it really fucked me up and the fact that it was the wholesome one that introduced such a fucked up story to the vulgar one is itself kind of screwed up. at least that is kind of my thinking.
I always thought the "freezing" was due to blood loss. Since she was severed at the hip in the accident, and blood loss causes you to feel "cold" that feels like a logical conclusion to me.
it also mentions in the beginning she passed away "within minutes" on the scene, implying she didnt die instantly, so blood loss would definitely track
Fun disturbing fact, if you go donate plasma they will give you saline after drawing blood and you will get a very similar feeling to what I believe it feels like
The ending is disturbing because it implies that he suffocated in his garage with the car turned on. He was trying to get the courage to open the garage door, afraid that once it was opened the corpse of his girlfriend would shamble in after him. But he didn’t get that courage in time and probably fell asleep due to lack of Oxygen, died, and that’s why the last lines are reminiscent of how his girlfriend was writing to him through Facebook.
And with that, i find even more depressing, he's afraid of the person he loved most, but the last thing he wrote was about her, that he's both terrified but loving of his girlfriend and the whole story says it, he's afraid of her, but he wants to help her, he wants her back but doesn't want to see her
Interesting. Although I don’t see any place where it’s implied that the died this way. I feel like if this was it there would be more things pushing towards that direction like saying he’s feeling lightheaded or that he’s got the car ready. Maybe I missed something so please tell me if you think I did
My interpretation of it is that shes unable to move on and is confused, trying to come back to him, scaring tf out of him in the process unfortunately. Even way back, she mentions the garage door, shes trying to go home
One of the top comments on reddit suggested he should let someone else change the login info for him… implying he’s been doing this to himself the entire time. Terrifying
I like this one, Not a supernatural or paranormal kind guy really. But I can appreciate them in stories. But realistic, such as this concept is bloody terrifying and a brilliant way to look at it. Just damn.
This is a take I wasn't expecting, that's such an amazing twist. Normally the whole My Bloody Valentine "It was the protagonist the whole time" trope is kinda lame, but in this case it makes sense, because it's this horrifying psychosis as a coping mechanism, I could see it happening irl.
It definitely puts it in a more realistic situation which makes it more depressing to me. Poor guy suffers a psychological break and tries to fill the void that losing her left behind.
My husband died a year ago. Maybe a month or so after he passed, I got an alert in my car while I was driving to work that a new call was coming in, and it said it was from him. I was so terrified I had to pull over. I didn't answer it, I just let it ring until it stopped. Turns out there was a sort of glitch in my car's computer system that displayed the wrong name on certain calls. It happened again with someone else about a week later. No, his ghost wasn't trying to contact me, but it still haunted me and will haunt me forever.
Happened to my grandmother a couple months after my grandfather had passed. We were at my cousins graduation party and my grandmother had just started getting back into the world after some time grieving. We were sitting at a picnic table in my uncles backyard having some food when her phone started ringing. She grabbed her phone, stared at it, and started hysterically weeping and freaking out that her husband's name came across the screen before throwing her phone on the table. My immediate family and I sitting at the table rushed to her to figure what had happened. I saw the phone call and decided to answer it out of curiosity. On the other line was a robo caller scam that had spoofed a local number that just so happened to be my grandfather's. I immediately hung up and tried to tell my grandma what had happened but the damage was done and, reasonably, pretty much soured the rest of the event for her.
Story suggestion, you guys should read “The Thing In The Basement Is Getting Better At Mimicking People” the story is playing an absolute mind game and you’re always losing. Edits: So this is after the new video and oh my god how the way you hear or read the story affects things. I originally heard an amazing audio version of it that made the choppy and weird parts sound better than they are. Overall the story is funny but in the later half addresses some interesting ideas that the CreepCasters never got to. Overall wish they finished it but that starts is ROUGH.
YES i listened to the Dark Somnium read it and it's one of my favorites, his music and sound effects just add to the creepiness and fear. I hope wendi and hunter read it, they make anything funny
@@bennettaukerman6802 me, too 🤣🤣🤣 i’m sure they will. i love the fact nearly every fan flooded this video’s comment thread with confusion, chaos, and despair. i just had to contribute lmao
One way I interpreted the "no chance of passing" line repeating is that her ghost was literally telling him, "I can't pass on to the afterlife. I'm stuck here." This would imply some sense of recognition, maybe a brief moment of clarity as the ghost or w/e regains its faculties a bit, and would also be incredibly sad to know that someone you lost for whatever reason can't escape from a trapped existence.
I was thinking the „just let me walk“ could mean „just let me go“ and its him being hung upon her after her death that couldn’t let her pass on, but since she can only reuse old messages at that point she tried to do sth different?
I feel like her ghost has a very vague underrstanding of whats happening, like with the "no chance of passing" line, repeating all of the "freezing" stuff, and even the fact that it seems to only be reaching out to her boyfriend specifically and tagging herself in his photos and stuff makes it seem like she does know that it's him, she knows she's freezing and that she's dead and she wants to move on, but she can't.
I think the post where he says he’s sitting in the garage about to leave but he hasn’t opened the door yet, paired with that final message of a conglomerate of previous things he said, implies he died in the garage from carbon monoxide poisoning and is now posting from beyond the grave just like Emily was.
i'm theorizing he might have also gotten into a car accident on the way to his friend's house. the spirit lured him out of the house (whether intentionally or not) for him to die the same way she died.
absolutely dying at how visibly terrible isaiah is feeling. poor homie is GLISTENING by the end of the video. i hope a nap of holy proportions was taken after this.
Wendigoon being sick is not punishment enough for him roping me into the last episode and BAMBOOZLING me into thinking its some silly supernatural spooky story.
my headcanon says it's like shes a spirit almost BECOMING vengeful. Where from her perspective, she's begging for his help, and he's doing nothing about it, because unknown to her, its just not going through right, like "help me... help me... WHY ARENT YOU HELPING ME? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?"
I think it's more FUN if it's a ghost (maybe not Emily, maybe it is a "Talk To Me" situation) but the idea of a stalker tricking someone into believing it's a ghost is...scarier.
Agreed. At least if it was a ghost, you wouldn't know if they were malevolent, but if it's a stalker you just know it's some sick POS that gets off on torturing people.
It could be a ex of his who can’t get over him and she found her way into his new girlfriend’s account through the girlfriends email so she can get into the account every time or a sibling of Emily who looking for revenge because they feel like it’s his fault. Would be a thriller kinda thing
A stalker would be scarier, but I think it being Emily's ghost would be much more tragic, since it would imply that the Emily wants her boyfriend to save her from the pain of the car crash but Nathan can't do anything to help.
Happened to a friend of mine. Some low-life losers hacked her deceased friend’s FB page to torment his loved ones. The poor guy had taken his own life, so I, personally, thought it was especially cruel! Special place in hell for those that create a hell on earth, in my opinion.
I would love for you guys to read "My wife has been peeking at me from around corners and behind furniture. It's gone from weird to terrifying." It is absolutely chilling. We read it around a campfire last year and it has been stuck in my head for some time! Also I'm loving this podcast so much!
Yes! My sister and I were glued to our phones reading this. It has kind of a hilarious ending, but it's still a very scary read with a lot of freaky imagery, I would love to see their reactions to some of the crazier scenes 😂
Nah the freezing part genuinely put a tear in my eye. The thought of loving someone so deeply and being tormented this way for months for the only real thing it says be something that makes you imagine how scared and cold they feel without you is stomach-turning. I know it's fake but the soul-wrenching terror that would strike into my body would probably drive me crazy
I honestly think it was foreshadowing the ending when “Emily” was compiling messages that were saying“garage side door” and “no chance of passing.” Whoever or whatever “Emily” was was likely making an attempt to get in, and tagging the pictures beside Nathan was probably less of a “this is where I would be” and more of a “this is where I will be” which is so unnerving.
This thing about messaging people who have passed, you’re right it is nice. My best friend of 26 years passed away suddenly in 2016, and I still message her Facebook account. When my husband and I started having problems (we all grew up together.), I texted her almost daily asking what the hell I should do. One day, her mother really did message me back from that account and gave me some of the most sound advice I’ve gotten in a long time on it. It was almost like Jenn had come back to talk to me, and although I knew it was her mother messaging me, it was nice to feel like I was talking with my best friend about something that mattered again. So, whenever I see these stories, it kind of makes me laugh because it legitimately happened to me, but it really was just her mom, I really wish though that it was Jenn.
This is an absolutely beautiful story. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I think often we jump to the most unhealthy ways technology can be used, rather than remembering that all things can be used for good if used properly.
yeah, stories like that make me wish i didnt take my dad's phone number once he passed. (it was my first time getting a phone-- and we couldn't just let someone else have that number)
The part that scared me the most, that they kinda just ignored was “garage side door. I, side, no chance of passing”. To me that was it trying to access the house and maybe trying to bait him to the door. Also, I just realized “I, side” might’ve been an attempt at “inside” with the texts it was given. Making it more clear.
I interpreted the "no chance of passing" as the closest thing to her last thoughts before the accident. Like she was trying to pass a car and got hit head-on.
i can't help but read it in that vacant, polite yet hollow voice an alarm system or a GPS in a car might have. "Garage side door. No chance of passing" sounds like a mix of an alarm telling you there's a breach of the garage door (one that you might name garage / side door in your alarm log) and a car sensor saying "no chance of passing" like a warning your path is obstructed. Made me realise how much I hate those types of alarms that speak instead of just beeping. Everything has the potential to sound so ominous. "No chance of passing" sounding like 'you have no escape,' etc.
On the subject of describing how the girlfriend smells, I don't know how much the author really thought it through so maybe it's just weird, but there could be justification for it. When you lose someone you love, you often cling to every little detail you can remember about them. Especially once you start losing memories, the ones that still stick with you become even more important.
When I lost my boyfriend I didn’t wash his robe for a few months. It really did smell like him, with a touch of his deodorant. I would fall asleep with it like a security blanket
Why do I feel like this story is trying to say that the Facebook page is giving the last thoughts that his girlfriend had before she and it’s just on a constant loop like she stuck in a loop of getting into a car getting into the accident and dying because she’s freezing to death and bleeding
Regarding the last two posts he made. The second to last post where he updates, he mentions he’s in his garage and does not have the garage door open. And that’s he’s waiting to build up the nerve to go do that. And then he posts the conglomerate comment. I think one of two things could’ve happened. 1) he got out to open the garage door and the spirit got him. Or 2) if he had his car turned on but the garage door wasn’t open he could’ve accidentally unalived himself. Or maybe on purpose, if he thought that was the only way for him to help Emily. His last comment could make sense if he did unalive himself. “I should be scared” “just fucked up it’s very not me” could be talking about him dying. “she’s more real to me in that state” could be him finding Emily again
I like how in this world nowadays you have to say committed unalive or unalived himself or UA-cam/the internet will tag your comment and remove it, it's dumb, they do realize auto correct doesn't even consider unalive a word, bunch of soft, crybaby pansies in this world that get triggered over everything 🤦@@mercythousoul7226
“Psychosis” “Tulpa” “The Devil Game” “Mr Widemouth” “Bedtime” “Doors” “String Theory” Were some creepypasta stories that I enjoyed as a kid. They were made in the same era as “The Russian Sleep Experiment” and I think they would be worth covering
Ooooohh "Mr Widemouth" brings back memories. It didn't really scare me when I first read it but years later it did! Also, anyone remembered a creepypasta where the monster was called 'Ubloo' or something? It haunts your dreams and made the protagonist sleep-deprived
Psychosis is so good i just recentely listened to it again for the 3rd time and it still gives me chills. i love a good mimic story, a newer story that is kinda similar to it is "the thing in the basement is getting better at mimicking people"
I find it interesting how differently everyone interprets this story - some find Emily threatening and think she's trying to torment the OP, some think it's tragic and think she's lost in limbo, some find it terrifying and think it's an entity attempting human speech patterns (i.e., as Wendigoon says, a digital skinwalker, which I think is an awesome way to describe it). That's the sign of a good creepypasta, when it can be read multiple ways. When a story has just enough ambiguity that it can creep out completely different types of people, they are able to immediately jump to their own deepest fears to interpret the story and scare the absolute shit out of *themselves*. My personal take is that the messenger IS Emily's spirit, lost in limbo and trying to communicate through the one avenue she can access - her Facebook page. The disjointed sentences and repeating of previous messages is her consciousness trying to make sense of what's happening and her more recent memories of conversations, similar to a person having a stroke and trying desperately to communicate with words/sentences they know but can't seem to put together properly to make sense. The repeated imagery of "cold" and "freezing" would be.... death. The deep, dark, coldness of death. The terrifying nothingness of the void that may be actually waiting "on the other side", as opposed to the comforting idea of going to Heaven or the equivalent. TBH, I find that idea far more terrifying than a spoopy ghost girlfriend coming to get me. She's not trying to scare OP, she's trying to communicate with him, to find out what the hell is going on, to make him understand and help him reach her. Her ability to communicate through the technology gets better the more she does it, which is why her messages start making more sense and why she's able to "tag" herself, and why she's finally able to create a picture for the OP. I believe she sent the picture and the FREEZING message to beg him to help her, to say "look, I'm so close to you, why can't you see me? Why can't you help me?? It's so cold here and I need your help!" OP's penultimate message is him sitting in his garage, intending to drive to a friend's place, but too scared to open the garage door. And then his last message is word salad....like Emily's messages. He doesn't say that he's in his car, just that he's on his tablet in the garage, but he intends to drive and says he forgot to open the garage door, so my takeaway is that he's run to his car, turned it on, and then realized the garage door was still closed. Then he grabs his tablet, logs into his account, types out that second-last message...how long has he already been sitting there at the point it gets posted, in a closed garage with a running car? Too long. He's gone, suffocated on carbon monoxide fumes. IMO, it was accidental and completely unintended; carbon monoxide poisoning can make you feel sleepy and makes you pass out, so if he sat there scared long enough, it's not inconceivable that he would start to feel light-headed, pass out, and pass on. And now he's in the same position as Emily....just trying to communicate through the only medium he can access. I find this a very sad, bleak story, and maybe that says more about me than the OP.
I thought the same thing! After going on reddit to find the original post for myself to see if I could find those lines anywhere, I found a comment that had already done the work for me. Turns out they are 7 snippets from his comments or the reddit post, so yes, the author committed to his piece and turned it from "this is a creepy thing that's happening to me" to "this is a creepy thing that's happening to *you*" (for those who picked up on it at least). That's a cool way to round off the story!
I love this story. After my dad passed, my mom accidentally called me from his cell phone because it autoconnected to the bluetooth in her car, and it truly was one of the most "what the fuck?" moments before I answered and heard her lmfaooo
I had a similar thing. My brother died suddenly and the cops had all his stuff. Months and months after he died, I got a call from him, but I was in class so I missed the call. Seeing that missed call notification when I pulled my phone out again made my stomach fully drop. I don’t know for sure but I suspect the cops were going through his phone looking for information/trying to track down drug dealers and called me by accident. Even tho it was 2017, my brother still owned a shitty old flip phone and the screen was broken, so it’s plausible to me that they’d have hit a button and accidentally called me. But still. Horrifying experience.
I'm interpreting this story as Emily doesn't know she's dead. She's lost in a black void with a faint glowing pinprick of light way off in the distance. Through sheer force of will, Emily, shouts out in the inky blackness toward this glow and somehow connects with it, speaks through it. Yet out from the glow her words get lost in translation, garbled, reinterpreted, and attached by some means to what stands beyond the far-off glimmer of hope. On the other side of that glow of course is a screen in our world.
My interpretation of the repeated messages was that she’s communicating through Facebook, but she can’t actually type new words. At first she’s just figuring out how this works, the hellos and nonsensical copy pastes. Then she gets more used to it, learns how to use Nathan’s messages, tagging herself in pictures as if to say “I’m still here.” She’s trying to explain what’s happened to her and how she feels but she’s limited to things that have been said. The whole story is just her spirit like working itself up and getting stronger/smarter until it finally manifests an original word: FREEZING I don’t know what fate she was dragged into in order to get stuck like that, but I imagine at the end, now that the page was memorialized, it sort of set her free and now she has a physical presence in the real world. And the first thing she did? She went to see her boyfriend. Also, the boys talking about how the story made it very clear she hated being sappy and emotional made me think that, if this IS Emily, maybe this was like... her trying to make up for it? Like she died and maybe her last thoughts were something like “when was the last time I told him I loved him? He’s never going to hear it again.” But because she didn’t like affection, she couldn’t even find an instance of her texting him “I love you,” so the nonsense spam was the closest she could come to getting her feelings out. The “yo ask Nathan” inside joke was probably the closest she could get to saying “I’m here, I love you, I’m sorry I didn’t say it enough, I’m sorry this is the only way I can say it now.”
That's how I read it! The whole time I just felt so bad for Em imagining her desperately crying for help in the only way she can, not intending to scare her boyfriend. He sees it as creepy and unnatural and she sees it as her only hope. 😢
The "FREEZING" is by far the most unsettling part to me. It puts the idea in my head that his girlfriend is reaching out to him from the afterlife, but the afterlife isn't peaceful or pleasant, it's just ice cold. Colder than anyone can possibly imagine. Freezing. Forever.
Your conversation at the end about your outro and how it sounds like you're encouraging people to be creepy made me think of how alcohol containers say "please drink responsibly." "Please creep responsibly."
Well since you asked for more recommendations Penpal- Chilling story to theorize about if either of you havent read it Psychosis- Mental damage Slender Man-Iconic/see how it aged Dating Game-Campfire story/palette Cigarettes-Body horrror From Hell I Write- Eldritch horror vibe Tales from the gas station-goofy lil break The deepest part of the ocean is not empty- payback for borrasca The left right game- Ritual pasta The _______ VHS- lost tape Sonic.exe - MEME
Oh man you guys are ripping though all the best stories from my childhood. one incredible story from NoSleep that might have flown under the radar was "I dared my best friend to ruin my life." you guys would absolutely KILL IT with an episode on that. Borrasca was outstanding, keep it up.
That's the exact one I was thinking of! I couldn't remember the title. I definitely second that. And Left-Right Game. As well as Dionaea House, if non-Nosleep stories are on the table.
@@Melhope1230 OMG I haven't thought about Correspondence in years! I'd love to revisit that through the podcast. I'm loving seeing all the old creepypasta I read on the podcast
Omg yes that's exactly what I'm doing, I was like I've got a super long video to finish decorating the bathroom to, and start on my bedroom and now ahhhhhhhhhh it's gone. I'm gunna cry 😢 😭 Hope they sort out whatever the problem is and can repost. Maybe some editing 🤔 or something you get past the problem.
The ending is genius, because it's what makes it a creepypasta. As another commenter has pointed out, the COLD/FREEZING type messages could be the spirit's recognition of her coldness toward her boyfriend. She's described as vibrant and daring but he had to get fake-drunk for her to show him affection. Up until the ending photo, this story is essentially a psychological drama about loss and grief. But that last bit clinches it. Absolutely perfect.
I think, even after the ending, Emily *is* a "nice" spirit, like papa meat says he thought she was. She wasn't trying to torture or hunt him, she's just as scared and trying to reach out, but the contact is so limited. She's cold and afraid and needs help but can't understand what's happened enough to ask for it. It's less scary, but I think it's a lot more actually devastating.
Boys I'll have you know i was at the exact line "there's someone in the house" on today's video when it dropped off the channel. That is NOT THE TIME YOU WANT IT TO GO SILENT hahaha
a more wholesome story on dreams that feel real. After my grandma passed away i had a dream a few months later. I was crying in my dream and she started rubbing my back and saying "it's okay sugar, I'm OK, everything is OK" i woke up crying, not sad tears, but happy tears.
The night after my dearest guinea pig died i had a dream that she dig out of her grave under a tree, run a mile through the forest and came back home, her zombie-self just to be with me again. This makes me cry remembering this, i cried and felt THE HAPPIEST ive ever felt during this dream, but i woke up so suddenly from it, i found myself still hugging a pillow thinking its her, smiling and happy-tears crying. Man, i exploded with tears after realising it was a dream. I really wanted it to be real, i was unconsciously grasping walls around me in disbelief. I miss my Businka.
The "no chance of passing no chance of passing" and later "I* no chance of passing" reminds me of all the ghost stories where a ghost is trapped on Earth because it has some unfinished business. It feels like Emily's trying to communicate that using only messages that'd been sent before. Given that, his own descriptions of how she wasn't often very affectionate makes me wonder if that's her unfinished business. Like how so many people just want to tell their passed loved ones that they love them, she wanted to say the same to Nathan, but having never messaged him that- and presumably him having not messaged her that out of not wanting to make her uncomfortable- she can't say it. And as the days turned to month, she just got colder and colder, losing all focus on why she's still on Earth as she tries to turn to the person she trusts most in her new pursuit of warmth.
I remember reading this on tumblr via screenshots in like 2014 and being 100% convinced it was real. The detail of her leg being tucked under the backseat always stuck with me. Thanks for covering this classic!
Borrasca was a hell of a journey for me. I was not ready to be sucked into a story like that. Part 2 on Spotify was a great listen. I hope papa gives it a read or listen.
This story in particular feels like the inspiration for the games "Sara is Missing" and "Simulacra". Something supernatural mixed with techonology trying to take the place of a human being and the whole process of it trying to achieve the goal of perfecting mimicking a human and trying to find its next victim, it's funny how Wendigoon describes it as some kind of digital skinwalker because that's kind of what a Simulacra is!
I like the tech angle but I was reminded of Replika, a real life service that started with the founder training an LLM on any and all data, text messages etc. she could find on her deceased friend, in order to create an AI version of him. I'm halfway through this video but it's giving me vibes like an LLM has been spawned trained on the girlfriend's data or something, and digital copy of her "spirit" is glitching, possibly breaking containment from a test environment or something
So this actually exists tho the service Replika offers is only loosely based off AI personalities, it's not anything like the initial experiment the founder did. However that experiment *was* completed and she and his loved ones are able to converse with an AI version of her friend. It's almost like the "Soulkiller" from Cyberpunk, and it's already real.
i have a theory that the girl is using the messages as sort of a spirit box. she’s using the little bit of energy to say hello, at first, but as the boyfriend keeps messaging her and interacting with her, she’s able to use more of the messages to get across what she actually wants to say. it’s like how spirit boxes use radio frequencies from other channels to spell out a message, i think she’s slowly building more and more energy up and near the end she finally has enough energy to say cold and freezing. anyways i love this show and getting to revisit these stories reminds me of old message threads that would be sent telling you “send this to 10 friends or you’ll die tomorrow” kind of shit and it’s so fun
Honestly, "The Harbringer Experiment" deserves more recognition and I think you'd do an amazing job covering it and sharing your thoughts about it with us. To this day me and the people I know who know this story can't listen to a certain song without instant thought of the story.
Speaking as someone who has had to due to a loved one’s passing, for the love of moving forward- MEMORIALIZE THE PAGE! Within your own time of course but do it before the inactive page gets hacked and goes completely out of your control by scammers. You can still message them, you can still post to their page, it’s sad but it also makes sure it preserves their digital decency long term. I especially recommend this if they were the type of person who would use the same password for everything.
When that picture of his door came up I legitimately felt like something was grabbing my shoulders and I got mad chills. This story creeped me out lmfao.
This one hits different. A few months after my dad died, I got 'poked' by my Dad's Facebook account and I straight up POPPED off in his DMs. It never happened again, and I'm sure that it was someone trying to be thoughtful...but it hits different my dudes.
That’s terrible. I’m sure that happened more often in the early days of the internet when people didn’t yet have a firm grasp on the impact that social media interaction can have. Some relationships I’ve had with people have been exclusively online, and anything done on their account was as real as if they’d said or did something in front of me.
36:00 That message gave me chills, the fact that the moment she learns how to form cohesive thoughts she immediately says how cold she is has to be so creepy.
I was there with Papa Meat in the trenches. When the great doom cloud known as Borrasca descended upon us I was none the wiser. None of us there knew what doom had befallen us, save for General Wendigoon. A single tear fell from his face, but knew that alerting us to our predicament would only cause panic and hysteria; he said nothing to save us from ourselves.
I wish I could talk about it with my friends but that would mean my friends would need to watch the videos or read the stories themselves, and I wouldn't wish that upon any human being. It should be considered a crime against humanity
Damn, I woke up earlier this morning and saw they had a new video called Penpal and thought "Oh can't wait, I'll save that for later this afternoon after I finish the house work" and now it's gone! 😭
@munbrazeh6700 yesterday morning they had taken penoal down, it's was originally posted the day or so before. But there was some music copyright thing I believe I saw in another comment. But by yesterday evening it was back up. So no worries now.
I know borrasca was harsh but man it was a great story and it made for a great episode. The quality/reactions, and dynamic between Wendi who read it and hunter who hasn’t while he was making predictions was great.
I respectfully disagree. The writer gets you interested with all these mysteries and scary ideas and then they just go full edge lord for shock factor. Kind of just gross and disappointing
@@executioner_ecgbert884 It did end up trying just a little bit too hard, yeah. The writing was really really strong, but the ending ended up breaking my immersion, which probably explains why I didn't have the same disgusted reactions that everyone else did. It isn't because of the shock factor, though, I feel like that part was actually all built up to, it was more the way characters stopped behaving in believable ways.
i respetuflly disagree back sir @@executioner_ecgbert884, the whole story has been this build up form the very beginning as even when they were at the triple tree as kids there is a room with a mattress and ripped clothing along the floor, it continues to get more and more intense as they grow up. theres a difference between shock value and a story written by a woman who knows that this stuff actually happens around the globe even if not to that sense of "the entire towns adults know" its not shying away from these horrible realities that people have shuffered but I do recommend reading part 5 for yourself to get some sort if satisfaction or relief from the horrors of it because it does continue on. and im syaing this from a point of i know how hard it is to read something like that but its not something that isnt real for many sadly
"It sure is weird to talk about how a person smells. Anyway, the sponsor of this video is Scentbird." Also, I don't think it got him. He's sitting in his running car replying to people with his garage door closed. He got himself dead. What I liked best about this story is how it's an evolution of the dead loved ones calling their families on the phone, which evolved to paging after death and then to texting as well.
YESSSSSSS Note: My boyfriend passed two years ago and this one made me think for sure. I had never heard this story before, but the thought of getting messages from “him” all while in the depths of the worst grief period? Dreadful. Devastating as the author wrote.
Today is Father's Day, and a few years since my dad passed away, and the part ab sending messages to dead relatives made me realize that his phone is still active on our plan even though it's dead in the drawer of his home. This video reminded me that I could call him and hear his voice one more time and leave a Father's Day message even though he'll never hear it. Thanks creeps. ❤️
I have been thinking about Borrasca continuously on and off since i watched y'all's last video the day it came out. It's -one of- the most traumatic story I've heard or seen, but it caused a life change that I've been needing for over half my life. Might be hard to believe but I'm not going to give more detail to explain, all I'm saying is thank you wendigoon for that horrible experience.
Part V works well with people who have read previous parts, because you are equally traumatized. It just goes down on the roller-coaster from there on out
Two stories that have stuck with me over the years are The Pancake Family and Mrs Willison's Homemade Jam. Honestly, a lot of stories on r/nosleep deserve way more recognition than they've received, and I'm so happy that you guys have started delving into what the subreddit has to offer.
Pancake Family fucked me up when i first read it. The Dark Somnium's narration of it was absolutely heart wrenching. "I really wish he had been a serial killer".....Absolutely devastating
I wonder if time distortion is involved. From the spirit's perspective it's reaching out to Nathan on the night of the crash but Nathan is receiving the messages in pieces over time. Confused and scared, the spirit attempts to contact Nathan, asking what's going on. It then tries to describe the scene of the crash (it looks like jam). She tries to get Nathan's attention via chat, tagging some photos, but no luck. Fed up with waiting, she tells Nathan she's just going to walk home. She complains about how cold it is, asks Nathan to get her sweater from the dryer. She mentions the garage as it comes into view. She is now outside, but Nathan still hasnt greeted her. She sends him a photo from outside. She's home and she's FREEZING.
I had one of those dreams like night. I was in a city and a bomb was dropped, and I got separated from my toddler but never found her again. But then everyone in my family acted like she never existed and just moved on like nothing happened. Horrible dream. I was happy to see her this morning.
This story really utilizes social media for horror quite well. It does well with it's simplicity and keeps it more ambigious at what's exactly going on. The bonus photos make it less so but the fact that they don't upload anything after sells the story better. Good Job. Also, feel better Wendigoon.
Doing either Penpal or Left Right Game would be great. LRG specifically was what introduced me to the subreddit and is still one of my favorite stories.
Penpal is easily my favorite but I get if they want to wait a couple weeks before diving into that one since it's more real than some of the other ones. Left Right game is very good as well. I remember that one was supposed to get made into a TV series but I don't know whatever happened to it.
I thought the long toes part was sweet. It characterizes her as a humble person, because she wanted him to talk about her flaws when she died. And he honored her request out of respect. It also tells us that they both have a sense of humor and like to tease each other. It gives the characters so much personality and makes us love their relationship.
Yeah, I really didn't see anything weird about that. I get the boys are trying to be entertaining for the podcast, but the way they harped on about Nathan's descriptions of Emily just felt immature and obnoxious to me. I thought the author did a good job of painting a picture of their warts-and-all relationship.
I like how he spoke about how she smelled of cinnamon…my husband smells of this beautiful vanilla/tobacco beard oil. He works away from home so I keep a bottle of it to have a sniff when I’m missing him! He’s only home 6 days a month so being able to smell his scent is comforting.
I'm getting more and more addicted to your content. Wendi and Meat both compliment each other's strengths and compensate for each other's weaknesses. You're a good team and I hope you keep it coming
@Retunsae I honestly caught it when they were reading it. I heard him say 4 in the first part, and then when they said 5 on the second part, I had to go back and re-watch it and reread it to make sure I heard what I heard...
Well, the thing about a lot of ghosts in folklore, is that they're often confused-- running on pure emotions and whatever moments lead up to their death. Assuming this really is Emily, maybe she's reaching out to Nathan for help because he was the last major person to interact with her up to the crash. As for the photo, I just assume fancy ghost powers. I mean, how is she contacting him period? It's just supernatural hand-waving really.
It really reminds me of the theory behind those "spirit boxes" or whatever that ghosts hunters use. Cycles through a bunch of radio stations and spirits can supposedly pull out words or phrases they want to use from those stations to communicate. This is similar to that but its pulling from past text messages, almost like there is a spirit trapped inside the phone or app and is only capable of copy/pasting texts
My personal thought was always that it was actually Emily, but in a demented ghostly form. She is in pain, lonely, and misses her beloved partner. So she tries to reach out to him the only way she can. And when he shuts this down, memorializing the page, she decides to just come and get him back. To have him by her side again.
Felt like a man's obsession trapping his lover's ghost from moving on, with the spirit trying to tell him to let her go. Sickigoon has a weird feverish tendency to make things evil for no reason lol
This style of video really fits you both well. Wendigoon who is able to always add another Nuance of horror and really knows the stories well. And Papameat that knows his horror well and always adds amazing humor
I've loved every damn second of this duo. Is there any chance at all that the story "Penpals" will be covered? Seems right up your alleys. Granted, I definitely get taking a break from long stories after the horror that is Borraska
YES!! It would be so awesome if they covered Penpal sometime in the future. It has that perfect meld of supernatural/real life horror that Borrasca had. I think they'd really enjoy it :,-] !!
@@tonir3715 borrasca supernatural? those things happen irl. one keyphrase to look for is "the women of juarez" not exactly, but gives a hint of what effed up stuff we tolerate as humanity and don'T stop it.
I really like this duo for podcasts because you show both spectrum where one is immediately expecting the supernatural and the other one is super skeptic and therefore goes for the realistic output
From a certain point it seems the word salad has a meaning. The 'no chance of passing ' etc, seemed like she was trying to cobble together a message...that she couldnt pass on, she was confused, she was cold, lost. The second ending immediately gave me chills, instantly recognized the word salad. Not sure what it means, other than he's dead now. If anyone has an interpretation of it as a deeper final message Id be glad to hear theories.
He mentioned forgetting to open the garage door and being zen, sitting in his car. It sounds like he asphyxiated in his garage, leaving the car running and dying of carbon monoxide poisoning at that point.
So you know how in the ending he's in the garage? Earlier in the story she mentions something about the garage side door and no chance of passing, idk if that means anything really, but I thought it was pretty ominous since that could foreshadow his doom, since it could mean that he has no chance of passing the garage door
If you guys take story suggestions you should cover "I Took A Job As A Fire Lookout In The Woods, I Found A Strange Set Of Rules To Follow" Creepypasta. It was one that freaked me out a bit and really enjoyed.
Hunter, I think why the spirit is "staulking" him is because as a ghost she felt he was right to try and stop her and she was sorry or because she felt he could still fix things because during life he was her go to guy for problems. She's saying she is freezing, because in her perspective he's right inside, and would have always let her in. She's scared and confused as to why now, when she's so uncomfortable, he would abandon her.
Yeah the repeated cold, cold and FREEZING felt like a cry for help. Emily was trying to express her suffering to him. The messages were creepy but not outright threatening.
I personally always had the theory about this that him refusing to memorialize her & hanging onto her in her death was causing her to remain stuck. She repeatedly says things like "please stop" and "why are you doing this to me", and remember she supposedly didn't want to be remembered as a perfect person, she didn't want to be memorialized in that way because 'she's not that kind of person'. Him holding onto the thought of her and refusing to let go, becoming a hermit because of her death and everything is actively stopping her from moving onto the afterlife and she's getting upset about it, hence why the image as well. She starts going after him since he won't let her leave.
The creepypastas that disturbed me the most was the Ant King and Mummer Man, i dont see people talk about them as much and they're pretty underrated. Perhaps after Creep Cast gets through the more famous and beloved creepypastas and nosleeps they could talk about the more hidden gems out there. Absolute new fave channel by the way!
I am repeating my suggestion from the first episode: I would love it if you guys covered "Tales from the gas station" by Jack Townsend. It's a blog series story that due to it's popularity was turned into a 4 parts book series, with the first book covering the entirety of the original blog. It's a pretty unique approach to creepypasta that I haven't seen anyone try to replicate, at least with such good quality: It's a "satirical horror", a story that on one hand makes fun of common/bad/overdone tropes in movies and creepypasta and on the other hand it uses them to subvert one's expecations and actually deliver true scary and action packed expirience.

An Idea can also be heartbreaking.
@@Spaced0ut000 I bet you feel really smart.
@@honestkyn718no way, I’d feel gay if I said that.
The vibe I got from this is that she isn’t malicious. She’s lost and reaching through the cold for her dead lover. Unintentionally realizing how horrifying she is.
that's what I thought too, the last picture is like "please let me in it's freezing" instead of "I see you 🫣"
Exactly my thought too. I personally believe that if he saw her, he wouldn't react wirh fear and horror but rather sadness and guilt.
That was my impression too. Like she's on the other end of a severed connection trying to break through. But, that said, I'm not finished yet!
Totally agree. I think she's reaching out desperately not in a malicious way, but for help and he's not only her boyfriend but also the only way she has to communicate
Or he's actually lost his marbles and is having hallucinations. Dead gf, probably lives in the dark, uses redit, plays WOW, ect. All red flags
I think it might be a play on the Wuthering Heights ghost?? Catherine is outside, and she keeps asking heathcliff to let her in. She says she’s so cold outside and asking him to let her in. He throws open the door and begs her to come inside but we never see her coming in. Just the lost soul of his lover eternally left out in the cold and looking for him, begging him to make her feel warm and alive again.
Yessss! I immediately thought that when I heard this!
Emily is the name of the author of Wuthering Heights, too
Funeral Kyle is definitely going to be my fav recurring character

The idea that someone would go to a channel called CreepCast, barrel through multiple viewer discretion warnings, and then complain about disturbing content is a testament to how horrific Borrasca really is.
Unfortunately I've been subjected to so many excessive content warnings, that I pretty well just tune them out. Borrasca is one of the few times that I ignored the warning and regretted it.
@joshuazane3210 yeah same.
That's the difference between paranormal horror and horror that's plausible in real life. The latter just stays with you.

@@Nobody_Fn_Important
Borrasca is pretty messed up, but it is an incredibly well crafted story. First "no sleep" story i ever read that felt more like a novel id pay money for rather than a free online story. He did meat daddy, and all of us, a favor by bringing it to the show.
The victims are fictional. And even when similar things happen irl, it should be acknowledged. You cant fix something you like to pretend doesnt exist.
literally my favourite pairing to happen on this platform. They're so good together, and their names combine so wonderfully. Wendimeat (delicious wendigo meat) or Canyongoon (goonin in the canyon with ya boys).
@@karenamyx2205 of that there is no doubt, and it would make for an excellent movie too (though a novel would probably be better than the movie) just saying that it really fucked me up and the fact that it was the wholesome one that introduced such a fucked up story to the vulgar one is itself kind of screwed up. at least that is kind of my thinking.
I always thought the "freezing" was due to blood loss. Since she was severed at the hip in the accident, and blood loss causes you to feel "cold" that feels like a logical conclusion to me.
Good point
it also mentions in the beginning she passed away "within minutes" on the scene, implying she didnt die instantly, so blood loss would definitely track
True that's a good point, adds to the idea that she doesn't realize she's dead and keeps reaching out to Nathan to help her.
Fun disturbing fact, if you go donate plasma they will give you saline after drawing blood and you will get a very similar feeling to what I believe it feels like
The ending is disturbing because it implies that he suffocated in his garage with the car turned on. He was trying to get the courage to open the garage door, afraid that once it was opened the corpse of his girlfriend would shamble in after him. But he didn’t get that courage in time and probably fell asleep due to lack of Oxygen, died, and that’s why the last lines are reminiscent of how his girlfriend was writing to him through Facebook.
Exactly! I don’t know how they missed that he died via carbon monoxide poisoning
I agree with this. Maybe since they both died in a car incident that they get to be together now?
And with that, i find even more depressing, he's afraid of the person he loved most, but the last thing he wrote was about her, that he's both terrified but loving of his girlfriend and the whole story says it, he's afraid of her, but he wants to help her, he wants her back but doesn't want to see her
Interesting. Although I don’t see any place where it’s implied that the died this way.
I feel like if this was it there would be more things pushing towards that direction like saying he’s feeling lightheaded or that he’s got the car ready.
Maybe I missed something so please tell me if you think I did
Hi can you not post unmarked spoilers thanks
My interpretation of it is that shes unable to move on and is confused, trying to come back to him, scaring tf out of him in the process unfortunately. Even way back, she mentions the garage door, shes trying to go home
Remember that tagged photo with the image outside the window, in the dark?
Please do the "My wife keeps peeking at me from around corners" story, similar vibe to this one but even more disturbing, you won't be disappointed!

One of the top comments on reddit suggested he should let someone else change the login info for him… implying he’s been doing this to himself the entire time. Terrifying
I like this one,
Not a supernatural or paranormal kind guy really. But I can appreciate them in stories.
But realistic, such as this concept is bloody terrifying and a brilliant way to look at it.
Just damn.
This is a take I wasn't expecting, that's such an amazing twist. Normally the whole My Bloody Valentine "It was the protagonist the whole time" trope is kinda lame, but in this case it makes sense, because it's this horrifying psychosis as a coping mechanism, I could see it happening irl.
That's the sickest interpretation I've read so far
It definitely puts it in a more realistic situation which makes it more depressing to me. Poor guy suffers a psychological break and tries to fill the void that losing her left behind.
That would better explain why his friends unfriended him on Facebook
My husband died a year ago. Maybe a month or so after he passed, I got an alert in my car while I was driving to work that a new call was coming in, and it said it was from him. I was so terrified I had to pull over. I didn't answer it, I just let it ring until it stopped.
Turns out there was a sort of glitch in my car's computer system that displayed the wrong name on certain calls. It happened again with someone else about a week later. No, his ghost wasn't trying to contact me, but it still haunted me and will haunt me forever.
Sorry for your loss.
Happened to my grandmother a couple months after my grandfather had passed. We were at my cousins graduation party and my grandmother had just started getting back into the world after some time grieving. We were sitting at a picnic table in my uncles backyard having some food when her phone started ringing. She grabbed her phone, stared at it, and started hysterically weeping and freaking out that her husband's name came across the screen before throwing her phone on the table. My immediate family and I sitting at the table rushed to her to figure what had happened. I saw the phone call and decided to answer it out of curiosity. On the other line was a robo caller scam that had spoofed a local number that just so happened to be my grandfather's. I immediately hung up and tried to tell my grandma what had happened but the damage was done and, reasonably, pretty much soured the rest of the event for her.

Edits: So this is after the new video and oh my god how the way you hear or read the story affects things. I originally heard an amazing audio version of it that made the choppy and weird parts sound better than they are. Overall the story is funny but in the later half addresses some interesting ideas that the CreepCasters never got to. Overall wish they finished it but that starts is ROUGH.
I’ve seen this one but never actually read it. Now I feel like I gotta go for it.
My favorite reading of that story is from The Dark Somnium. Really brought the story alive with voice acting for all the characters & proper effects

the story is so sad
One way I interpreted the "no chance of passing" line repeating is that her ghost was literally telling him, "I can't pass on to the afterlife. I'm stuck here." This would imply some sense of recognition, maybe a brief moment of clarity as the ghost or w/e regains its faculties a bit, and would also be incredibly sad to know that someone you lost for whatever reason can't escape from a trapped existence.
I was thinking the same thing
Yeah thats what i thought
I was thinking the „just let me walk“ could mean „just let me go“ and its him being hung upon her after her death that couldn’t let her pass on, but since she can only reuse old messages at that point she tried to do sth different?
I was thinking about passing while driving, like maybe that is what caused the wreck, therefore no chance of passing
I feel like her ghost has a very vague underrstanding of whats happening, like with the "no chance of passing" line, repeating all of the "freezing" stuff, and even the fact that it seems to only be reaching out to her boyfriend specifically and tagging herself in his photos and stuff makes it seem like she does know that it's him, she knows she's freezing and that she's dead and she wants to move on, but she can't.
I think the post where he says he’s sitting in the garage about to leave but he hasn’t opened the door yet, paired with that final message of a conglomerate of previous things he said, implies he died in the garage from carbon monoxide poisoning and is now posting from beyond the grave just like Emily was.
Or that he got out of the car to open the garage door and the entity got to him
i'm theorizing he might have also gotten into a car accident on the way to his friend's house. the spirit lured him out of the house (whether intentionally or not) for him to die the same way she died.
I was thinking the fumes from the car made him delirious
absolutely dying at how visibly terrible isaiah is feeling. poor homie is GLISTENING by the end of the video. i hope a nap of holy proportions was taken after this.
Wendigoon being sick is not punishment enough for him roping me into the last episode and BAMBOOZLING me into thinking its some silly supernatural spooky story.
my headcanon says it's like shes a spirit almost BECOMING vengeful. Where from her perspective, she's begging for his help, and he's doing nothing about it, because unknown to her, its just not going through right, like "help me... help me... WHY ARENT YOU HELPING ME? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?"
Even then, how is he supposed to do anything 😭? Call the Ghost Busters?
@@asleepyb0i400 When you got your dead girlfriend stalking you, who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS!
@Player_O1ne
I ain’t ‘fraid of no ghost 🎵
Would explain the repetition of "Why are you doing this?" as if she's asking "Why are you letting me suffer?"
No, this is based on the Irish traditions of speaking bad about someone at their funeral, if you do that their ghost comes to haunt you
I think it's more FUN if it's a ghost (maybe not Emily, maybe it is a "Talk To Me" situation) but the idea of a stalker tricking someone into believing it's a ghost is...scarier.
Agreed. At least if it was a ghost, you wouldn't know if they were malevolent, but if it's a stalker you just know it's some sick POS that gets off on torturing people.
A stalker would honestly be great. If the author added hints in until the very end it would be a haunting ending.
It could be a ex of his who can’t get over him and she found her way into his new girlfriend’s account through the girlfriends email so she can get into the account every time or a sibling of Emily who looking for revenge because they feel like it’s his fault. Would be a thriller kinda thing
A stalker would be scarier, but I think it being Emily's ghost would be much more tragic, since it would imply that the Emily wants her boyfriend to save her from the pain of the car crash but Nathan can't do anything to help.
Happened to a friend of mine. Some low-life losers hacked her deceased friend’s FB page to torment his loved ones. The poor guy had taken his own life, so I, personally, thought it was especially cruel! Special place in hell for those that create a hell on earth, in my opinion.
I would love for you guys to read "My wife has been peeking at me from around corners and behind furniture. It's gone from weird to terrifying." It is absolutely chilling. We read it around a campfire last year and it has been stuck in my head for some time! Also I'm loving this podcast so much!
Yes! My sister and I were glued to our phones reading this. It has kind of a hilarious ending, but it's still a very scary read with a lot of freaky imagery, I would love to see their reactions to some of the crazier scenes 😂
@@loublue22 agree, not a big fan of the ending but the bathroom part and “ive gotten better at it” were horrifying
Bro they gotta
@g01dd omgggggg the bathroom part is nightmare fuel
THIS ONE FUCKED ME UP!!
Nah the freezing part genuinely put a tear in my eye. The thought of loving someone so deeply and being tormented this way for months for the only real thing it says be something that makes you imagine how scared and cold they feel without you is stomach-turning. I know it's fake but the soul-wrenching terror that would strike into my body would probably drive me crazy
I love that Emily corrected herself the second time she said "FREEZING". Almost as if she wouldn't misspell it a second time.
I honestly think it was foreshadowing the ending when “Emily” was compiling messages that were saying“garage side door” and “no chance of passing.” Whoever or whatever “Emily” was was likely making an attempt to get in, and tagging the pictures beside Nathan was probably less of a “this is where I would be” and more of a “this is where I will be” which is so unnerving.
This thing about messaging people who have passed, you’re right it is nice. My best friend of 26 years passed away suddenly in 2016, and I still message her Facebook account. When my husband and I started having problems (we all grew up together.), I texted her almost daily asking what the hell I should do. One day, her mother really did message me back from that account and gave me some of the most sound advice I’ve gotten in a long time on it. It was almost like Jenn had come back to talk to me, and although I knew it was her mother messaging me, it was nice to feel like I was talking with my best friend about something that mattered again. So, whenever I see these stories, it kind of makes me laugh because it legitimately happened to me, but it really was just her mom, I really wish though that it was Jenn.
This is an absolutely beautiful story. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I think often we jump to the most unhealthy ways technology can be used, rather than remembering that all things can be used for good if used properly.
yeah, stories like that make me wish i didnt take my dad's phone number once he passed. (it was my first time getting a phone-- and we couldn't just let someone else have that number)
sounds like you need therapy not a dead friend.
Weird
@@Isaiah42069kinda funny to criticize such an innocuous form of grieving
I'm crying at the comparison of this guy to Funeral Kyle. Probably my favorite in-joke from any YT channel I love it
The part that scared me the most, that they kinda just ignored was “garage side door. I, side, no chance of passing”. To me that was it trying to access the house and maybe trying to bait him to the door.
Also, I just realized “I, side” might’ve been an attempt at “inside” with the texts it was given. Making it more clear.
Omg!
Interpreted it like that as well, gave me chills
I interpreted the "no chance of passing" as the closest thing to her last thoughts before the accident. Like she was trying to pass a car and got hit head-on.
@@theflail I read it more as either a malevolent being mocking that she had no chance of passing on or her saying that she has no chance of passing on
i can't help but read it in that vacant, polite yet hollow voice an alarm system or a GPS in a car might have. "Garage side door. No chance of passing" sounds like a mix of an alarm telling you there's a breach of the garage door (one that you might name garage / side door in your alarm log) and a car sensor saying "no chance of passing" like a warning your path is obstructed. Made me realise how much I hate those types of alarms that speak instead of just beeping. Everything has the potential to sound so ominous. "No chance of passing" sounding like 'you have no escape,' etc.
On the subject of describing how the girlfriend smells, I don't know how much the author really thought it through so maybe it's just weird, but there could be justification for it. When you lose someone you love, you often cling to every little detail you can remember about them. Especially once you start losing memories, the ones that still stick with you become even more important.
When I lost my boyfriend I didn’t wash his robe for a few months. It really did smell like him, with a touch of his deodorant. I would fall asleep with it like a security blanket
@@DankrumStarI’m sorry to hear and I hope your doing alright now
@@DankrumStarI'm so sorry for your loss, that's heartbreaking. I hope time passing has helped you heal ❤
I kept my mom’s perfume and plan on buying more soon. She passed away months ago, and it’s one of the physical memories I still have. 💙

@@JakobWasTaken__don’t forget the “😈” when you click on his name there. He’s edgy and a sneaky little devil!
Why do I feel like this story is trying to say that the Facebook page is giving the last thoughts that his girlfriend had before she and it’s just on a constant loop like she stuck in a loop of getting into a car getting into the accident and dying because she’s freezing to death and bleeding
Regarding the last two posts he made. The second to last post where he updates, he mentions he’s in his garage and does not have the garage door open. And that’s he’s waiting to build up the nerve to go do that. And then he posts the conglomerate comment. I think one of two things could’ve happened. 1) he got out to open the garage door and the spirit got him. Or 2) if he had his car turned on but the garage door wasn’t open he could’ve accidentally unalived himself. Or maybe on purpose, if he thought that was the only way for him to help Emily.
His last comment could make sense if he did unalive himself. “I should be scared” “just fucked up it’s very not me” could be talking about him dying. “she’s more real to me in that state” could be him finding Emily again
That's a good theory hmm 🤔u should get pinned so they see this theory 😢😂
Holy shit that makes a lot of sense
I like how in this world nowadays you have to say committed unalive or unalived himself or UA-cam/the internet will tag your comment and remove it, it's dumb, they do realize auto correct doesn't even consider unalive a word, bunch of soft, crybaby pansies in this world that get triggered over everything 🤦@@mercythousoul7226
“Psychosis”
“Tulpa”
“The Devil Game”
“Mr Widemouth”
“Bedtime”
“Doors”
“String Theory”
Were some creepypasta stories that I enjoyed as a kid. They were made in the same era as “The Russian Sleep Experiment” and I think they would be worth covering
Ooooohh "Mr Widemouth" brings back memories. It didn't really scare me when I first read it but years later it did!
Also, anyone remembered a creepypasta where the monster was called 'Ubloo' or something? It haunts your dreams and made the protagonist sleep-deprived
@@natanaga9892yeah ubloo I remember it too
Also Left and right game. And my best friend is trying to ruin my life too
Don’t forget the Traynguss.. simply haunting
Psychosis is so good i just recentely listened to it again for the 3rd time and it still gives me chills. i love a good mimic story, a newer story that is kinda similar to it is "the thing in the basement is getting better at mimicking people"
I find it interesting how differently everyone interprets this story - some find Emily threatening and think she's trying to torment the OP, some think it's tragic and think she's lost in limbo, some find it terrifying and think it's an entity attempting human speech patterns (i.e., as Wendigoon says, a digital skinwalker, which I think is an awesome way to describe it). That's the sign of a good creepypasta, when it can be read multiple ways. When a story has just enough ambiguity that it can creep out completely different types of people, they are able to immediately jump to their own deepest fears to interpret the story and scare the absolute shit out of *themselves*.
My personal take is that the messenger IS Emily's spirit, lost in limbo and trying to communicate through the one avenue she can access - her Facebook page. The disjointed sentences and repeating of previous messages is her consciousness trying to make sense of what's happening and her more recent memories of conversations, similar to a person having a stroke and trying desperately to communicate with words/sentences they know but can't seem to put together properly to make sense. The repeated imagery of "cold" and "freezing" would be.... death. The deep, dark, coldness of death. The terrifying nothingness of the void that may be actually waiting "on the other side", as opposed to the comforting idea of going to Heaven or the equivalent. TBH, I find that idea far more terrifying than a spoopy ghost girlfriend coming to get me. She's not trying to scare OP, she's trying to communicate with him, to find out what the hell is going on, to make him understand and help him reach her. Her ability to communicate through the technology gets better the more she does it, which is why her messages start making more sense and why she's able to "tag" herself, and why she's finally able to create a picture for the OP. I believe she sent the picture and the FREEZING message to beg him to help her, to say "look, I'm so close to you, why can't you see me? Why can't you help me?? It's so cold here and I need your help!"
OP's penultimate message is him sitting in his garage, intending to drive to a friend's place, but too scared to open the garage door. And then his last message is word salad....like Emily's messages. He doesn't say that he's in his car, just that he's on his tablet in the garage, but he intends to drive and says he forgot to open the garage door, so my takeaway is that he's run to his car, turned it on, and then realized the garage door was still closed. Then he grabs his tablet, logs into his account, types out that second-last message...how long has he already been sitting there at the point it gets posted, in a closed garage with a running car? Too long. He's gone, suffocated on carbon monoxide fumes. IMO, it was accidental and completely unintended; carbon monoxide poisoning can make you feel sleepy and makes you pass out, so if he sat there scared long enough, it's not inconceivable that he would start to feel light-headed, pass out, and pass on.
And now he's in the same position as Emily....just trying to communicate through the only medium he can access. I find this a very sad, bleak story, and maybe that says more about me than the OP.
This is exactly how I've interpreted it
I didn't think about that last part. It definitely helps the interpretation that it's not malicious.
Shit i hadn't thought about that. Rather than him typing his last in a Co2 haze its him also trapped in that hellish void trying to get help
Awesome interpretation! Love it!
I thought the same thing! After going on reddit to find the original post for myself to see if I could find those lines anywhere, I found a comment that had already done the work for me. Turns out they are 7 snippets from his comments or the reddit post, so yes, the author committed to his piece and turned it from "this is a creepy thing that's happening to me" to "this is a creepy thing that's happening to *you*" (for those who picked up on it at least).
That's a cool way to round off the story!
Not gonna lie, all these Borasca references make me so happy. We all suffered, we all remember.
I love this story. After my dad passed, my mom accidentally called me from his cell phone because it autoconnected to the bluetooth in her car, and it truly was one of the most "what the fuck?" moments before I answered and heard her lmfaooo
I had a similar thing. My brother died suddenly and the cops had all his stuff. Months and months after he died, I got a call from him, but I was in class so I missed the call. Seeing that missed call notification when I pulled my phone out again made my stomach fully drop. I don’t know for sure but I suspect the cops were going through his phone looking for information/trying to track down drug dealers and called me by accident. Even tho it was 2017, my brother still owned a shitty old flip phone and the screen was broken, so it’s plausible to me that they’d have hit a button and accidentally called me. But still. Horrifying experience.
I'm interpreting this story as Emily doesn't know she's dead. She's lost in a black void with a faint glowing pinprick of light way off in the distance. Through sheer force of will, Emily, shouts out in the inky blackness toward this glow and somehow connects with it, speaks through it. Yet out from the glow her words get lost in translation, garbled, reinterpreted, and attached by some means to what stands beyond the far-off glimmer of hope. On the other side of that glow of course is a screen in our world.
kinda like insidious but instead of a medium it's an ipad?
@@brownfandango Been meaning to watch that 🤔
My interpretation of the repeated messages was that she’s communicating through Facebook, but she can’t actually type new words. At first she’s just figuring out how this works, the hellos and nonsensical copy pastes. Then she gets more used to it, learns how to use Nathan’s messages, tagging herself in pictures as if to say “I’m still here.” She’s trying to explain what’s happened to her and how she feels but she’s limited to things that have been said. The whole story is just her spirit like working itself up and getting stronger/smarter until it finally manifests an original word: FREEZING
I don’t know what fate she was dragged into in order to get stuck like that, but I imagine at the end, now that the page was memorialized, it sort of set her free and now she has a physical presence in the real world. And the first thing she did? She went to see her boyfriend.
Also, the boys talking about how the story made it very clear she hated being sappy and emotional made me think that, if this IS Emily, maybe this was like... her trying to make up for it? Like she died and maybe her last thoughts were something like “when was the last time I told him I loved him? He’s never going to hear it again.” But because she didn’t like affection, she couldn’t even find an instance of her texting him “I love you,” so the nonsense spam was the closest she could come to getting her feelings out. The “yo ask Nathan” inside joke was probably the closest she could get to saying “I’m here, I love you, I’m sorry I didn’t say it enough, I’m sorry this is the only way I can say it now.”
That is heartbreaking to think about Jesus Christ
Hot dang, that's a great interpretation.
Wow I’m hella impressed. Great interpretation lad
That's how I read it! The whole time I just felt so bad for Em imagining her desperately crying for help in the only way she can, not intending to scare her boyfriend. He sees it as creepy and unnatural and she sees it as her only hope. 😢
this whole story reminds me of the band My Dead Girlfriend
The "FREEZING" is by far the most unsettling part to me. It puts the idea in my head that his girlfriend is reaching out to him from the afterlife, but the afterlife isn't peaceful or pleasant, it's just ice cold. Colder than anyone can possibly imagine. Freezing. Forever.
Your conversation at the end about your outro and how it sounds like you're encouraging people to be creepy made me think of how alcohol containers say "please drink responsibly."
"Please creep responsibly."

God damn I’ve been so confused about this, I was 2 hours in, my device died, went to switch to my laptop and bam gone 😭
The ending is genius, because it's what makes it a creepypasta. As another commenter has pointed out, the COLD/FREEZING type messages could be the spirit's recognition of her coldness toward her boyfriend. She's described as vibrant and daring but he had to get fake-drunk for her to show him affection. Up until the ending photo, this story is essentially a psychological drama about loss and grief. But that last bit clinches it. Absolutely perfect.
“Candle Cove”, “NoEnd House” and “1999” would be great creepy pasta classics to cover.
I know these, except 1999, what is it about?
bro predicted it
1999 and noend house sucked. L shitty taste
I think, even after the ending, Emily *is* a "nice" spirit, like papa meat says he thought she was. She wasn't trying to torture or hunt him, she's just as scared and trying to reach out, but the contact is so limited. She's cold and afraid and needs help but can't understand what's happened enough to ask for it. It's less scary, but I think it's a lot more actually devastating.
mmm for sure. i always enjoy ghost stories that dwell on the hopeless sadness instead of the scariness. i.e lake mungo.
Boys I'll have you know i was at the exact line "there's someone in the house" on today's video when it dropped off the channel. That is NOT THE TIME YOU WANT IT TO GO SILENT hahaha
a more wholesome story on dreams that feel real. After my grandma passed away i had a dream a few months later. I was crying in my dream and she started rubbing my back and saying "it's okay sugar, I'm OK, everything is OK" i woke up crying, not sad tears, but happy tears.
The night after my dearest guinea pig died i had a dream that she dig out of her grave under a tree, run a mile through the forest and came back home, her zombie-self just to be with me again. This makes me cry remembering this, i cried and felt THE HAPPIEST ive ever felt during this dream, but i woke up so suddenly from it, i found myself still hugging a pillow thinking its her, smiling and happy-tears crying.
Man, i exploded with tears after realising it was a dream. I really wanted it to be real, i was unconsciously grasping walls around me in disbelief. I miss my Businka.
The
"no chance of passing
no chance of passing"
and later
"I*
no chance of passing"
reminds me of all the ghost stories where a ghost is trapped on Earth because it has some unfinished business. It feels like Emily's trying to communicate that using only messages that'd been sent before. Given that, his own descriptions of how she wasn't often very affectionate makes me wonder if that's her unfinished business. Like how so many people just want to tell their passed loved ones that they love them, she wanted to say the same to Nathan, but having never messaged him that- and presumably him having not messaged her that out of not wanting to make her uncomfortable- she can't say it. And as the days turned to month, she just got colder and colder, losing all focus on why she's still on Earth as she tries to turn to the person she trusts most in her new pursuit of warmth.
That is a brilliantly fucking miserable theory
I was looking to see if someone brought up the "no chance of passing" and everything you said fits so well.

Borrasca was a hell of a journey for me. I was not ready to be sucked into a story like that. Part 2 on Spotify was a great listen. I hope papa gives it a read or listen.
The funeral part was way too funny man 😭😭
This story in particular feels like the inspiration for the games "Sara is Missing" and "Simulacra". Something supernatural mixed with techonology trying to take the place of a human being and the whole process of it trying to achieve the goal of perfecting mimicking a human and trying to find its next victim, it's funny how Wendigoon describes it as some kind of digital skinwalker because that's kind of what a Simulacra is!
YES I just made a comment about this!
I like the tech angle but I was reminded of Replika, a real life service that started with the founder training an LLM on any and all data, text messages etc. she could find on her deceased friend, in order to create an AI version of him. I'm halfway through this video but it's giving me vibes like an LLM has been spawned trained on the girlfriend's data or something, and digital copy of her "spirit" is glitching, possibly breaking containment from a test environment or something
So this actually exists tho the service Replika offers is only loosely based off AI personalities, it's not anything like the initial experiment the founder did. However that experiment *was* completed and she and his loved ones are able to converse with an AI version of her friend. It's almost like the "Soulkiller" from Cyberpunk, and it's already real.
It's such a flashback hearing of those games again omg
“digital skinwalker” is an awesome quote. that’s literally how i feel about ai, especially ai ‘art
i have a theory that the girl is using the messages as sort of a spirit box. she’s using the little bit of energy to say hello, at first, but as the boyfriend keeps messaging her and interacting with her, she’s able to use more of the messages to get across what she actually wants to say. it’s like how spirit boxes use radio frequencies from other channels to spell out a message, i think she’s slowly building more and more energy up and near the end she finally has enough energy to say cold and freezing.
anyways i love this show and getting to revisit these stories reminds me of old message threads that would be sent telling you “send this to 10 friends or you’ll die tomorrow” kind of shit and it’s so fun
Spirit boxes are scam BS
Honestly, "The Harbringer Experiment" deserves more recognition and I think you'd do an amazing job covering it and sharing your thoughts about it with us. To this day me and the people I know who know this story can't listen to a certain song without instant thought of the story.

Speaking as someone who has had to due to a loved one’s passing, for the love of moving forward- MEMORIALIZE THE PAGE! Within your own time of course but do it before the inactive page gets hacked and goes completely out of your control by scammers. You can still message them, you can still post to their page, it’s sad but it also makes sure it preserves their digital decency long term. I especially recommend this if they were the type of person who would use the same password for everything.
When that picture of his door came up I legitimately felt like something was grabbing my shoulders and I got mad chills. This story creeped me out lmfao.
This one hits different. A few months after my dad died, I got 'poked' by my Dad's Facebook account and I straight up POPPED off in his DMs. It never happened again, and I'm sure that it was someone trying to be thoughtful...but it hits different my dudes.
That’s terrible. I’m sure that happened more often in the early days of the internet when people didn’t yet have a firm grasp on the impact that social media interaction can have. Some relationships I’ve had with people have been exclusively online, and anything done on their account was as real as if they’d said or did something in front of me.
36:00 That message gave me chills, the fact that the moment she learns how to form cohesive thoughts she immediately says how cold she is has to be so creepy.
I was there with Papa Meat in the trenches. When the great doom cloud known as Borrasca descended upon us I was none the wiser. None of us there knew what doom had befallen us, save for General Wendigoon. A single tear fell from his face, but knew that alerting us to our predicament would only cause panic and hysteria; he said nothing to save us from ourselves.
I wish I could talk about it with my friends but that would mean my friends would need to watch the videos or read the stories themselves, and I wouldn't wish that upon any human being. It should be considered a crime against humanity

It was amazing 👏
Kinda wish they do part 5.
I respectfully disagree. The writer gets you interested with all these mysteries and scary ideas and then they just go full edge lord for shock factor. Kind of just gross and disappointing
@@executioner_ecgbert884 It did end up trying just a little bit too hard, yeah. The writing was really really strong, but the ending ended up breaking my immersion, which probably explains why I didn't have the same disgusted reactions that everyone else did. It isn't because of the shock factor, though, I feel like that part was actually all built up to, it was more the way characters stopped behaving in believable ways.
i respetuflly disagree back sir @@executioner_ecgbert884, the whole story has been this build up form the very beginning as even when they were at the triple tree as kids there is a room with a mattress and ripped clothing along the floor, it continues to get more and more intense as they grow up. theres a difference between shock value and a story written by a woman who knows that this stuff actually happens around the globe even if not to that sense of "the entire towns adults know" its not shying away from these horrible realities that people have shuffered but I do recommend reading part 5 for yourself to get some sort if satisfaction or relief from the horrors of it because it does continue on. and im syaing this from a point of i know how hard it is to read something like that but its not something that isnt real for many sadly
I think it would be creepy if Nathan was the one who was sending messages to himself the whole time with no memory of it.
Yeah kinda like that movie with that guy who goes to sleep and has a whole different life once hes asleep i forget the name of it
That would have been creepier than any supernatural entity

Also, I don't think it got him. He's sitting in his running car replying to people with his garage door closed. He got himself dead. What I liked best about this story is how it's an evolution of the dead loved ones calling their families on the phone, which evolved to paging after death and then to texting as well.

Note: My boyfriend passed two years ago and this one made me think for sure. I had never heard this story before, but the thought of getting messages from “him” all while in the depths of the worst grief period? Dreadful. Devastating as the author wrote.

I have been thinking about Borrasca continuously on and off since i watched y'all's last video the day it came out. It's -one of- the most traumatic story I've heard or seen, but it caused a life change that I've been needing for over half my life. Might be hard to believe but I'm not going to give more detail to explain, all I'm saying is thank you wendigoon for that horrible experience.
Part V works well with people who have read previous parts, because you are equally traumatized. It just goes down on the roller-coaster from there on out
I would definitely recommend reading part 5! I'm not going to say why in case anyone doesn't want spoilers, but know the ending makes it worth it.

Two stories that have stuck with me over the years are The Pancake Family and Mrs Willison's Homemade Jam.
Honestly, a lot of stories on r/nosleep deserve way more recognition than they've received, and I'm so happy that you guys have started delving into what the subreddit has to offer.
OH GOD the pancake family 😱
NOT THE JAM
the jam
I'd take those over the ending to borrasca. That ending screwed me up for days
Pancake Family fucked me up when i first read it. The Dark Somnium's narration of it was absolutely heart wrenching. "I really wish he had been a serial killer".....Absolutely devastating
I wonder if time distortion is involved. From the spirit's perspective it's reaching out to Nathan on the night of the crash but Nathan is receiving the messages in pieces over time. Confused and scared, the spirit attempts to contact Nathan, asking what's going on. It then tries to describe the scene of the crash (it looks like jam). She tries to get Nathan's attention via chat, tagging some photos, but no luck. Fed up with waiting, she tells Nathan she's just going to walk home. She complains about how cold it is, asks Nathan to get her sweater from the dryer. She mentions the garage as it comes into view. She is now outside, but Nathan still hasnt greeted her. She sends him a photo from outside. She's home and she's FREEZING.
ooooh that’s really creepy and very interesting it never thought about it that way
I had one of those dreams like night. I was in a city and a bomb was dropped, and I got separated from my toddler but never found her again. But then everyone in my family acted like she never existed and just moved on like nothing happened. Horrible dream. I was happy to see her this morning.
This story really utilizes social media for horror quite well. It does well with it's simplicity and keeps it more ambigious at what's exactly going on. The bonus photos make it less so but the fact that they don't upload anything after sells the story better. Good Job. Also, feel better Wendigoon.
Maybe I just don't get it but the story didn't really do anything for me. It's her ghost messaging him and that's about it I guess
Doing either Penpal or Left Right Game would be great. LRG specifically was what introduced me to the subreddit and is still one of my favorite stories.
I would LOVE to hear them talk about Left Right Game but it's so long I feel like it would have to be at least like, five parts
Dude yes left right game is one of my favorite from that time
Penpal is easily my favorite but I get if they want to wait a couple weeks before diving into that one since it's more real than some of the other ones. Left Right game is very good as well. I remember that one was supposed to get made into a TV series but I don't know whatever happened to it.
Both penpal and left/ right game were so good!! I hope they cover both of them, but want left/ right game more.
I forgot about penpal. That one had me in my head hiding from my head for way longer than it had any right to
I thought the long toes part was sweet. It characterizes her as a humble person, because she wanted him to talk about her flaws when she died. And he honored her request out of respect. It also tells us that they both have a sense of humor and like to tease each other. It gives the characters so much personality and makes us love their relationship.
Yeah, I really didn't see anything weird about that. I get the boys are trying to be entertaining for the podcast, but the way they harped on about Nathan's descriptions of Emily just felt immature and obnoxious to me. I thought the author did a good job of painting a picture of their warts-and-all relationship.

I'm getting more and more addicted to your content. Wendi and Meat both compliment each other's strengths and compensate for each other's weaknesses. You're a good team and I hope you keep it coming

she's so cold she's forgotten how to count, what a dumb deado
Damn good catch, i was actively watching around that part as i was on a break. And i even paused to read it twice
@Retunsae I honestly caught it when they were reading it. I heard him say 4 in the first part, and then when they said 5 on the second part, I had to go back and re-watch it and reread it to make sure I heard what I heard...
damn good shout. what does that mean tho. like why did em change it? hmm
Well, the thing about a lot of ghosts in folklore, is that they're often confused-- running on pure emotions and whatever moments lead up to their death. Assuming this really is Emily, maybe she's reaching out to Nathan for help because he was the last major person to interact with her up to the crash. As for the photo, I just assume fancy ghost powers. I mean, how is she contacting him period? It's just supernatural hand-waving really.
It really reminds me of the theory behind those "spirit boxes" or whatever that ghosts hunters use. Cycles through a bunch of radio stations and spirits can supposedly pull out words or phrases they want to use from those stations to communicate. This is similar to that but its pulling from past text messages, almost like there is a spirit trapped inside the phone or app and is only capable of copy/pasting texts
My personal thought was always that it was actually Emily, but in a demented ghostly form. She is in pain, lonely, and misses her beloved partner. So she tries to reach out to him the only way she can. And when he shuts this down, memorializing the page, she decides to just come and get him back. To have him by her side again.
Felt like a man's obsession trapping his lover's ghost from moving on, with the spirit trying to tell him to let her go. Sickigoon has a weird feverish tendency to make things evil for no reason lol
ust let me walk
I think you are correct on a metaphoric or thematic level, but narratively, I do think that the creature was hostile in the end.
what was she gonna tickle him when he opened the garage door
Maybd she means just let me go?
This style of video really fits you both well. Wendigoon who is able to always add another Nuance of horror and really knows the stories well. And Papameat that knows his horror well and always adds amazing humor
ik
I've loved every damn second of this duo. Is there any chance at all that the story "Penpals" will be covered? Seems right up your alleys.
Granted, I definitely get taking a break from long stories after the horror that is Borraska
YES!! It would be so awesome if they covered Penpal sometime in the future. It has that perfect meld of supernatural/real life horror that Borrasca had. I think they'd really enjoy it :,-] !!
@@tonir3715 and it'll add yet another mental scar! :D
@@tonir3715 borrasca supernatural? those things happen irl. one keyphrase to look for is "the women of juarez" not exactly, but gives a hint of what effed up stuff we tolerate as humanity and don'T stop it.
I really like this duo for podcasts because you show both spectrum where one is immediately expecting the supernatural and the other one is super skeptic and therefore goes for the realistic output
From a certain point it seems the word salad has a meaning.
The 'no chance of passing ' etc, seemed like she was trying to cobble together a message...that she couldnt pass on, she was confused, she was cold, lost.
The second ending immediately gave me chills, instantly recognized the word salad. Not sure what it means, other than he's dead now. If anyone has an interpretation of it as a deeper final message Id be glad to hear theories.
He might've gone to his friend and the spirit took over his computer? That or it's just me coping.
Yeah it sounds like shes in limbo
He mentioned forgetting to open the garage door and being zen, sitting in his car. It sounds like he asphyxiated in his garage, leaving the car running and dying of carbon monoxide poisoning at that point.
So you know how in the ending he's in the garage? Earlier in the story she mentions something about the garage side door and no chance of passing, idk if that means anything really, but I thought it was pretty ominous since that could foreshadow his doom, since it could mean that he has no chance of passing the garage door
If you guys take story suggestions you should cover "I Took A Job As A Fire Lookout In The Woods, I Found A Strange Set Of Rules To Follow" Creepypasta. It was one that freaked me out a bit and really enjoyed.
Oh yeah! I remember that one, it had like 50 billion parts and i watched them all on yt.
@kingdomoftransylvania5744 Yeah, I listened to them all through a yt video too.
This was a really good one
Hunter, I think why the spirit is "staulking" him is because as a ghost she felt he was right to try and stop her and she was sorry or because she felt he could still fix things because during life he was her go to guy for problems.
She's saying she is freezing, because in her perspective he's right inside, and would have always let her in. She's scared and confused as to why now, when she's so uncomfortable, he would abandon her.
Yeah the repeated cold, cold and FREEZING felt like a cry for help. Emily was trying to express her suffering to him. The messages were creepy but not outright threatening.
I personally always had the theory about this that him refusing to memorialize her & hanging onto her in her death was causing her to remain stuck. She repeatedly says things like "please stop" and "why are you doing this to me", and remember she supposedly didn't want to be remembered as a perfect person, she didn't want to be memorialized in that way because 'she's not that kind of person'. Him holding onto the thought of her and refusing to let go, becoming a hermit because of her death and everything is actively stopping her from moving onto the afterlife and she's getting upset about it, hence why the image as well. She starts going after him since he won't let her leave.
I love the lore being established that Isiah is evil, while Wendigoon is family friendly.
The creepypastas that disturbed me the most was the Ant King and Mummer Man, i dont see people talk about them as much and they're pretty underrated. Perhaps after Creep Cast gets through the more famous and beloved creepypastas and nosleeps they could talk about the more hidden gems out there.
Absolute new fave channel by the way!
I am repeating my suggestion from the first episode: I would love it if you guys covered "Tales from the gas station" by Jack Townsend. It's a blog series story that due to it's popularity was turned into a 4 parts book series, with the first book covering the entirety of the original blog. It's a pretty unique approach to creepypasta that I haven't seen anyone try to replicate, at least with such good quality: It's a "satirical horror", a story that on one hand makes fun of common/bad/overdone tropes in movies and creepypasta and on the other hand it uses them to subvert one's expecations and actually deliver true scary and action packed expirience.
I Ride for cerber. Uber for monsters.
Apparently juggalos actually do an outstanding amount of community outreach and charity
Sadly I recommend this channel to a juggalo. Hoping he doesn’t choose to watch this video first 😅
