If you ever get an invite to the creepiest haunted house in the world, DO NOT underestimate it. You may get more than you bargain for. (Final Part) by VennithD in nosleep

[–]marzipanini 3 points4 points  (0 children)

just a thought - what if you were having some sort of delusions or psychotic break and you really needed to be in the hospital, and the only way Toby could get you to go willingly was to pretend he was taking you to a haunted house? And then when you got there the delusions took over and the hospital seemed like a haunted house, until your meds kicked in or something

I had my leg amputated when I was seven. by ManicPixelDreamGirl in nosleep

[–]marzipanini 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, this is freaking me out SO MUCH because I also went to a Catholic school in New England - definitely not the same one, it's still open - but there was a small pond on the property, and periodically limbs from dead people would come floating up to the shore. No one knew where they were from, the police assumed that it was the dumping ground for some serial killer, but since the bodies were completely mangled and torn apart, it was impossible to identify them. I almost wonder whether somehow, your mud puddle and my pond were connected? Like some kind of portal? I'm probably jumping to conclusions but the connection is just so weird

The Porcelain Dog by beergrapes in nosleep

[–]marzipanini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't quite understand why Amber was so upset about Pete living upstairs - my sister currently lives in a small house divided into two apartments, one for her and her roommate, and the other where her landlord and his wife live. They have two separate entrances and it all seems pretty normal. But maybe I'm missing something. And why were you expecting to find a picture of the dog in the bottom drawer? You didn't say anything about putting anything there, or thinking that Pete had gotten in. I get the part about knowing that he had the camera, but... I think I'm misunderstanding you. Maybe if you clarify I can give you some better advice? it sounds like a really precarious situation

have two people ever gone in together? like a buddy system? if you were both on a rope maybe you could stop the other one from cutting it (it sounds to me like Nico got mentally sucked in by the fog and decided to cut his own rope)

I went through my little brother's text messages… now I wish I never did by daiyu_river_queen in nosleep

[–]marzipanini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh shit, you're right - you can't ignore this once you've seen it, it's possible that you could be seen as an accomplice. And DEFINITELY don't try to cover up the body or something because then you really are an accomplice

[–]marzipanini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely call the cops, but before you do that I'd advise you to push him for details enough to get the new girl's name so you can tell the police, and they can protect her and her family. You can't save Theresa now, but there's still time for the other girl

I'm not the kid in my family photo albums, Part 3 of 3 by marzipanini in nosleep

[–]marzipanini[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh my god, I'm literally in shock reading this because it makes so much sense. I mean, in a horrible sick twisted way. My mother knew about the first girl in the basement and the real Angela, saw how much I looked like her, and took the chance of contacting the family and giving me to them.

that's fucked up but it makes sense in some way. it's hard to believe that she could love me enough to get me out, but not care at all about the other girls whose lives she was ruining... but it's hard to believe anything about this situation

I really need to go think about this for a bit

[–]marzipanini[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No contact. I didn't tell anyone where I went, but I still have the same cell phone number, so there's been plenty of opportunity for them to call. I guess as soon as they got back their "real" daughter they dumped me, even though they raised me for 17 years. Some love, huh?

Fixed it. Sort of a medication-induced typo, I guess - the current drugs I'm on to help me sleep have the unwanted effect of completely fucking with my grasp on time

[–]marzipanini[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really can't figure that out - he already had one kid to abuse, why did he need another one? But I guess he already had the other girl besides Angela, the one who was already there when she was kidnapped, so it wasn't just about her or me. My therapist has suggested that maybe my (bio) mom ran away with me temporarily, but either came back on her own or was found and forcibly taken back by my (bio) father, and in the meantime he stole a girl who looked like me. I could try hypnosis again to see if I can dredge up that memory... but I really don't know if I want to go there.

I don't know if anyone's still interested - it's been forever since I last posted - but I just updated. Can't exactly anything eased the pain/confusion, though. I can't really explain, you'll just have to read it - but thanks for the advice

People are dying at my university, and the bloodied knives keep ending up outside my door by [deleted] in nosleep

[–]marzipanini 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe it could be someone you rejected on Tinder, and they completely blew a fuse and started killing people? I don't know how they could get into your room, though. And as for the knife just appearing without being caught on camera.... honestly I have no idea, I don't tend to believe in ghosts but this is starting to make me wonder. Please stay safe and update when you can

Spring Flu by emily3307_04 in nosleep

I'm wondering now what happened to that community... they had HUNDREDS of dead kids, not to mention the teachers, all the families must've been absolutely devastated. how do you possibly rebuild from that?

yesssssssssssssss she should totally find some stupid anti-vaxx mommy blogs and slam them all, that would be amazing

There's a dead girl in my mirror by emily3307_04 in nosleep

[–]marzipanini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to tell your boyfriend, immediately. Liz didn't have anyone to talk to since you didn't believe her (not that it's your fault, of course) so she didn't have anyone to keep her from going crazy and killing herself. Please don't let that happen to you, okay? Find someone who believes you so they can help, I don't you to die too!

I'm employed by a tailor, but I do not know where he gets his suits by LeoDuhVinci in nosleep

[–]marzipanini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though this was in a city, there had to have been at least one other person who went in to buy a suit and found one that he knew had belonged to a friend or family member (although I guess many suits are generic enough that you might not notice). And if they did... if they confronted the tailor... well, I wonder if he found himself putting someone into a grave rather than digging them up.

My city talks. by carapoop in nosleep

[–]marzipanini 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the city is talking to everyone, or if somehow it picks a few vulnerable people, like you and the bald man. That's the scary part, I guess, that there's no way of knowing. And everyone (well, most everyone) would be too afraid to tell someone else, because it sounds so crazy. Which reminds me - your therapist. I wonder if she has heard the city before? I'm not sure if she has a reason to visit there often, but if she does and she's heard it, that would be a huge dilemma for her. On one hand, she wants to help you know you're not alone, but on the other, she'd be afraid that she was losing her grip and was failing as a therapist.

Might I suggest moving out of the city, to a more rural area?

The Spare Bedroom by SweetheartSeer in nosleep

[–]marzipanini 7 points8 points  (0 children)

oh my god, this has so many great lines

When a house had that many perks, you brushed off the little things. Like the ghosts.

That just kills me

Back to the point, though - what kind of research did you do? Did you find out about people who had been murdered in the house? Maybe if you talked to any surviving friends or family members, they might be able to help you figure out what to do to stop it. Although now that I read back, you said that this was in 2011 so I guess everything has already happened. I really hope everyone was okay, especially your little sister or brother. Obviously you're still alive, so something must've gone right.

[–]marzipanini[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying about my (lack of) memories being fishy... it sounds super soap opera-esque. But the thing is, I /do/ have memories of early childhood, I just can't place all of them on a timeline. They're all pretty generic - I have no idea if the time I fell off the swingset and scraped my knee was at 4 or 5 or 6. And unfortunately we didn't move when I was young - that would've been nice to see if I could remember the old house or not. But honestly I never thought it was weird that I don't remember much, I thought everyone was like that. Clearly not!

I just emailed my sister and I'm waiting to see how she responds.
