“Unveiled Secrets: 51 Chilling Online Encounters That Still Haunt Those Who Lived Them”
Have you ever stumbled down a rabbit hole so deep that you found yourself questioning if the things you read were even real? I recently had one of those nights—caught up in a whirlwind of disturbing Reddit stories that ranged from the bizarre to the downright unsettling. I mean, who doesn’t enjoy a good chill? One particular tale stayed with me long after I clicked away, tickling the edges of my imagination and making me ponder the fragility of life and assumptions.
Picture this: a young boy attending the funeral of a disabled child, a gathering filled with whispered sentiments that perhaps the child’s passing was “for the best.” Then, something extraordinary happens—crying and banging erupt from inside the coffin! Talk about a plot twist straight out of a horror film! As they hastily bury the coffin, the layers of family secrets unfold, and suddenly, reality blurs with surrealism. If you think the absurdity stops there, you haven’t seen anything yet. Curious about where this bizarre journey leads? <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1ibva1b/whataresomeofthedarkeststoriesandposts_of/m9p5jj3/”>LEARN MORE.
I once stayed up all night going down a rabbit hole of disturbing stories on Reddit. A lot of ‘what are the most disturbing Reddit threads’ would have links to older similar threads so I was reading a lot of them. I haven’t been able to find this story again because there’s been a lot of these kinds of posts. But this is the one that stuck with me the most.
OP told a story recounted by his mother who was a kid in 50s Texas. She was at a funeral of a disabled kid. The kids disability was a huge strain on the family and when he got sick and passed away a lot of people were saying it was for the best. Half way during the service they started hearing crying and banging and it was coming from inside the coffin! So they cut the service short and quickly took the coffin out and buried it. Only when OP was overheard by his mother telling the story to someone else did she mention that the family was her family.
There was a short video of a plane crash accidentally taken by one of passengers inside the plane. It wasn’t gory. This guy was smiling and laughing and excited to reach his destination. Then the plane crashes suddenly, everything goes silent, and his cell phone camera is pointed up at the sky. No one survived the crash. The suddenness sticks with me. From happy and excited to gone from this world in almost no time at all.
There was a young man who went on holidays and when he came back he swore there was a bathroom where a cupboard now was and he didn’t believe anything his room mates told him that it had always been a cupboard.
He came to reddit to explain the story and basically found out he had a brain tumour.
For me it’s definitely post from jasoninhell. Guy found out his wife was cheating on him. He asked on Reddit what he should do and then filed for divorce. The wife then [tried to] k*ll herself and their children.
It was a heartbreaking post to read.
Edit: As people in replies say, the wife tried to k*ll herself but didn’t succeed and was later sentenced to 120 years in prison.
Anyone remember the story of the guys doing some tree work with chainsaws in a remote area when one guy slipped and cut himself bad. As they were trying to get to a hospital, driving erratically and fast, some lady started to block them as she thought they were just some a-holes. The guy ended up dying and they were able to get in touch with police. The lady ended up getting a ticket and one of the guys threw the bloody clothes at her car.
That one stuck with me for some reason.
A dude who had a sick fetish for parasites
He willingly infected himself with and sustained as many parasites as he could, and what’s more, he spread them around as much as he could, to as many people as he could.
Of course, I speak in past-tense, but there’s no telling if this guy stopped. He had not expressed any intention of stopping when he wrote his confession. I forgot what sub he wrote this in.
The darkest one I remember, but can’t find was I believe an off my chest / confession.
Guy was a gas fitter or plumber and installed a hot water heater in a families basement. The next day the police had found the family had died of CO2 poisoning and had him come to check for a leak.
He said it was his fault as he had left a rag in the wrong spot which had caused the gasses to build up, he removed the rag to hide the evidence and it was deemed a tragic accident.
