u/CG1991

When I was in primary school one of the dinner ladies accidentally sliced the tip of her finger off while carving meat for lunch. Apparently she panicked and didn’t tell anyone because they couldn’t find the missing bit anywhere in the kitchen.

A few days later the school contacted parents about a “food contamination” after environmental health got involved. Turns out they think the fingertip ended up mixed into the trays of sliced meat they served to our year group.

I only found out years later because my mum casually brought it up like it was a funny memory.

Now I can’t eat school-style roast beef without thinking about the fact there’s a non-zero chance I accidentally ate part of a human finger when I was 8.

I like the idea of special infected

(i.e. those in Left 4 Dead, Dead Island, Zombie Fallout). But, the idea of being the first person to come across one would be terrifying.

The infected were fast, violent, swarming zombies. Horrifying, but understandable. Then the rumours would start.

People talking about a giant infected smashing through walls. A crying woman that ripped entire survivor groups apart. Something on rooftops that jumped people. And nobody would believe them at first.

The first Special Infected sightings would sound exactly like urban legends. But then different groups start describing the exact same things. And you realise things are getting worse.

The idea of the small space of time between the apocalypse starting and the special infected appearing is a very niche corner that is terrifying to me.

Everywhere has its own stories. In my city in the UK, there's a door that legend says is human skin under centuries of paint.

Does Spokane have anything like that? Urban Legends, Myths, Folklore, or creepy stuff more than welcome!

Thank you :)

Is there only one that keeps returning? Or are there multiple?

I've only seen up to Hellseeker

Can't remember much about it. It's a horror. I would have seen it between 1990 and 2015.

Feeling like I would have seen it on Sy-Fy channel. Can't remember if it was a full movie or an episode of something.

I don't think it had a high budget.

Opens with a feral or monstrous woman being rescued from a man trying to kill her. The new man falls in love with her but ultimately ends up trying to kill her. He is killed and she is rescued again, implying the cycle continues.

It is not:

- Shackled (2012)

- Spring (2014)

- Splice (2009)

It is very similar to Harpya (1979) in plot but much darker.

Just to confirm, all the books have publication dates filled in on the books metadata side of things.

The author has 34 books. The first page displays the first 30 books in date order but, when moving to the second page, four books appear out of order - normally the most recent four.

Basically, the bottom of page one shows his first book (2017) but, moving to page 2, it shows a 2026 books.

Is there a reason for this?
