I am not interested in creepypastas about existing video games or fictional titles of real franchises, I am looking for ones about completely original games that don't exist in real life.
I swear a week ago I watched a video of a reading of this story while I was falling asleep, so I’m not even sure if it was a nosleep story or just a creepypasta, but it’s essentially just a story about a girl who went missing without a trace, after attempting to start a modeling career, while at the same time her family happened to lose all existing photos of her after a recent move, leaving them without anything to put on the missing posters for months until the modeling shoot for kmart became available.
The story ends with the narrator asking us if any of us had the original physical prints of her so that she could finally disappear permanently.
I do remember this story did have a real photo stances of some girl, supposedly the very modeling photo the narrator is looking for (to which, I wouldn’t be surprised if using a real persons photo for a online horror story caused it to eventually be pulled down). Whatever video I watched to hear this story I just can’t find again, even when searching my watch history from the night I first heard this.
So basically, it’s written from the neighbours perspective. One day, a guy in the neighbourhood just decides to stand in the middle of the street and he can’t move. I think people were eventually yelling and throwing stuff at him and all he can do is cry. He stands there for months and months like a scarecrow
It was one about how everyone in this religious town suddenly vanished one day, possibly because they believe the end of days was coming. In the end it's revealed they might have gotten trapped underground and had been living down there ever since.
Please help me find it.
I listened to a narration of it on YouTube in around 2020 maybe? It had a generic title like "I Wish I Never Clicked The Image" or "The Scariest Image I've Ever Seen" but the story just made no sense at all. It read like an AI generated story but this was all before that was a thing. It was about an hour long, if I had to guess it was probably either written by the YouTuber who narrated it or it was a fan submission.
The plot was as follows: a guy gets a mysterious email with an image link in it. He clicks it and it takes forever (like, days) to load. The image is of a figure with a deformed, angry face and wearing a cowboy hat. The narrator is horrified by this when the face part of the image finally loads and reaches out to his friend to talk about it. There was no actual image shown in the video, it was just described in the story.
Anyway, the "twist" was that the person in the picture is the narrator and his friend's other childhood friend, he always wore a cowboy hat and his face was disfigured due to injuries after they either bullied him physically or he got into an accident that was their fault, and now as an adult he sent them the image (which I guess was just a selfie?) as "revenge" or something. But they already knew he looked like that, so it made no sense why they did not recognize him in the image and the whole first act of the story was them being scared of a "horrifying" image. I believe it was also mentioned that he has a wife who hates them, or something. They are wracked with guilt and that's how the story ends. The whole plot was just so nonsensical.
The cowboy hat detail was the most important thing I remember and I've been searching for cowboy hat Creepypastas for hours lol. It is not The Hat Man which is the only thing that wants to come up when I search that.
I read his entries years ago, way before pandemic since I can't remember the specific year. His entries were like episodal and they were either things he was tasked to do and/or he was searching for them. He always has a sign off at the end, i think it was Dr something but I could be wrong. The guy in the story was writing on a notebook as it was research (I'm not sure if the poster eventually published it too because vaguely recall him posting about it). One of the settings was the basement of a school or something type of building, another were railroad tracks, another he was looking for this fortune teller kinda thing. It was like supernatural ngl. The last entries were him talking about how he knows he will die soon after looking for the "fortune teller" and how he's essentially cursed.
I really can't recall much but it was multiple entries years ago and I suddenly remembered about it and want to look if he made more.
