Hi post your best ghost story or urban legend.

People can lick too
One night a girl was watching tv when her parents were out. It was late and dark. Whenever she got scared she would reach down the side of her bed where her dog was at and he would lick her hand. That made her feel safe. As she was watching Tv she fell asleep. She was sleeping when she heard a drip drop drip drop sound that woke her up. She went and checked if it was the kitchen sink then it stopped. She went back to her room and watched tv then about 5 min later she heard it again she reached down to pet her dog and then she felt a lick. Once again she felt safe. Then she heard the drip drop sound again so she went and checked the bathroom sink before she got there it stopped. So she sat back down in her bed and reached down to her dog as her dog licked her hand but it felt different this time. Then she watched tv for about 10 mintues then she heard the drip drop drip drop sound again so she checked if the sound was coming from the shower she opened the curtain and saw her dog hanging by its feet in the shower with its head on the bathtub floor the drip drop sound she had heard was her dogs blood dripping. Then as she turned around frightened half to death she saw on her bathroom mirror written in blood the words "people can lick too". It turns out there was a lunatic who had escaped from a local asylum hidden under her bed and she was his next victim.


THE CLIFTON BUNNY MAN
Back in 1903 deep in Clifton (USA), there used to be an Asylum buried deep within the wilderness of Clifton. Pretty soon after the civil war people started inhabiting the area, population-wise around 300 or so. It was a very small town. Nonetheless people didn't like the idea about having an Asylum miles down the road, so they all got together and signed a petition stating for the Asylum to relocate elsewhere. The petition passed and anew Asylum was built which is now known as "Lorton Prison", a temporary facility until convicts are appropriately sentenced.
In Fall of 1904 the convicts were gathered and piled into the bus which was to transport them to Lorton. Somehow during the drive not too far from where they left, the driver had swerved to avoid something and the bus had started to tip and soon was rolling in a terrible collision course.
Most of the convicts were injured but had managed to escape the bus and had fled into the night woods. Later on the next morning a local police investigation had begun, and they had begun rounding up the escaped convicts. Hours turned into days, days into weeks, weeks into months. Every one was recovered after 4 months, except for 2 people, Marcus A. Wallster and Douglas J. Grifon. During the search for both men the police randomly found dead rabbits half eaten and dismembered every now and then along their search.
Finally they were to find Marcus dead himself by the Fairfax station Bridge (now known as Bunny Man's Bridge). In his hand he held a man-made hammer/knife like tool, made with a sharp rock and a pretty sturdy branch as a handle. They thought nothing and cared not of how he died, only that he was apprehended and no longer had to worry about him.They had a name for Marcus, but later on they would realize they had named the wrong person the Bunny Man. Still searching for Douglas, they kept on finding dead half-eaten bunny's every-so-often while the search went on. Finally they were to name Douglas the Bunny Man from then on. 3 Months passed by and the police had given up their search in April 7th 1905. Everybody assumed the Bunny Man was dead by now, if not gone, so they went on with their small town lives. Come October people started seeing dead bunny's reappearing out of the blue, and starting to fear the unseen. Halloween Night came around, and as usual a bunch of kids had gone over to the Bridge that night to drink and do whatever kids their age in the 1900's did. Midnight came around within minutes and most of the kids had left, only 3 of them remained at the bridge. Right at Midnight supposedly a bright light back from within the Bridge, where the kids were and less than a couple seconds later they were all dead. Throats slashed with that same type of tool that was found by the other Escapee Marcus. Not only were there throats slashed, but all up and down their chest's were a long slashes gutting them. To top it off the Bunny Man hung both of the guys from one end of a bridge with a rope around their neck, hanging from the overpass with their legs dangling in front of the pass of cars.
The woman were hung the same way, on the other side of the bridge. This happened on Halloween in 1905. After that, they didn't see or heard anything from him for another year. Halloween 1906 was approaching and parents as well as the teens in Clifton still remember the incident that had occurred one year ago at the bridge, his bridge, Bunny Man's Bridge. That night 7 teens were left remaining right before midnight at the bridge. Thinking little of it, six remained inside the bridge while 1, Adrian Hatala had remained a good distance from the bridge hoping to have enough time to escape if the same thing happened again. At midnight she witnessed only this, a dim light walking the railroad track right before midnight, stopping right above the bridge at midnight, then disappearing at the same as a bright flash was inside the bridge. She heard the deafening sounds of horrific screams coming from inside the bridge that lasted only seconds. 5 seconds later, they were all hung from the edge of the bridge, same style as the corpses a year earlier. Horrified she ran home, she didn't tell of everything she saw, just spattered words here and there that some of the folk put together to come up with her story. No one understood it, or even believed her. They charged her with the murderer, and locked her up in the Asylum of Lorton. In 1913 the same thing happened with 9 teenagers this time, Halloween night again. Adrian was still locked up. They dropped her sentence, but it was too late. The insanity had finally conquered her. Even if she was released, she was too far gone to have a decent life, so she spent her remaining years in the Asylum until she finally died in 1953 of shock. No one knows what exactly she died in shock from, but supposedly she had died in her dreams, dreaming of that one dreaded night. Perhaps the Bunny Man had finally gotten to her.

This is very long, the colors might hurt your eyes but if you're into more subtle horror I assure you that it's a good read:

Ted's Caving Page, with the story of his discovery in a local cave.

Also:

The tape.

During the summer of 1983, in a quiet town near Minneapolis, Minnesota, the charred body of a woman was found inside the kitchen stove of a small farmhouse. A video camera was also found in the kitchen, standing on a tripod and pointing at the oven. No tape was found inside the camera at the time.

Although the scene was originally labeled as a homicide by police, an unmarked VHS tape was later discovered at the bottom of the farm’s well (which had apparently dried up earlier that year).

Despite its worn condition, and the fact that it contained no audio, police were still able to view the contents of the tape. It depicted a woman recording herself in front of a video camera (seemingly using the same camera the police found in the kitchen). After positioning the camera to include both her and her kitchen stove in the image, the tape then showed her turning on the oven, opening the door, crawling inside, and then closing the door behind her. Eight minutes into the video, the oven could be seen shaking violently, after which point thick black smoke could be seen emanating from it. The camera then continued to stationary point at the oven for another 45 minutes until the batteries apparently died.

To avoid disturbing the local community, police never released any information about the tape, or even the fact that it was found. Police were also not able to determine who put the tape in the well.

…or why the physical stature of the woman on the tape did not in any way resemble the stature of the woman found in the oven.

The Bad Dream

“Daddy, I had a bad dream.” You blink your eyes and pull up on your elbows. Your clock glows red in the darkness—it’s 3:23.

“Do you want to climb into bed and tell me about it?”

“No, Daddy.”

The oddness of the situation wakes you up more fully. You can barely make out your daughter’s pale form in the darkness of your room.

“Why not sweetie?”

“Because in my dream, when I told you about the dream, the thing wearing Mommy’s skin sat up.” For a moment, you feel paralyzed; you can’t take your eyes off of your daughter. The covers behind you begin to shift.

The Lemur of Baskersville

A rich man is mauled by a massive glowing green Lemur. The Lemur also does Disco afterwards, and mimes during the day. And has stinky poops. That also glow green... :eek:

But that's just a scary story for little lemurs. :)

Steppen-wolf - awesome post! Such eerie stories, especially the cave one. I just barely reached the last page of it after about an hour and a half of reading it relentlessly. I was so disappointed when I reached the end of the final page, clicked next, and it took me back to the same page. So I'm assuming the site hasn't been updated since May 19, 2001? Wow... I wonder what happened. I sure hope he and B are doing okay after all that happened. Makes me wonder even more if he actually went back or not, and if he did, what happened?? What did he see?? :eek:

Hopefully it's not just another hoax. This story does seem a bit far-fetched and horror movie like to be true, but hey you never know. Some really weird s*** is going on in this world behind our backs and I've had too many strange experiences with the paranormal myself to be a skeptic.

Regardless, I definitely think this should be made into a book, or movie even! I was so captivated by it from the beginning and couldn't stop reading. I really do hope he updates again someday.

Never mind. It really was too good to be true.

The Terror in Hupman's Cave

"I did not write this story, nor do I have explicit permission of the author, Thomas Lera, to post it here. However, I feel that with the lack of information available regarding the true nature of the infamous "Ted the Caver" story, it is good to spread the truth about Lera's story. In reality, "Ted" is actually "Fred," and his story is a short story written by Thomas Lera in 1987. He chose 2001 as a date because it was not too distant in the future where technology or society might have changed significantly, but would also be far enough along to separate the story from reality. The "Ted the Caver" folks blatantly ripped off Lera's work and portrayed it as a true story, even going so far as to take eerily accurate pictures to further the story. "Ted" never went caving, and his story isn't true."

I wish the "cave man" story was complete. I spent a bit of time reading that, just to realise that there was no "decent" ending to the story.

That would make a good movie tough (if complete).

I think the lack of an ending is the ending itself... He couldn't have written another entry if he never came back :eek:
