Best reddit nosleep stories12/31/2023 ![]() Story by Gloria Atanmo, The Blog Abroad, originally appeared in HuffPost 2. Eventually, I was able to track down some elderly Austrian men who could see my dilemma and gave me their phone, and a large pint of Austrian beer to save the day. After my 2 hour detour, I had no desire to be near anything wet as I was already soaked from exhaustion, so tried to get reception to call and see if anyone could pick me up. Several minutes later, I finally see a highway, so I get back on a known trail and just a few kilometres up, I see the sign where I missed my turn for the lake. Safety hazard, absolutely, but again, logic. I eventually stop caring that my bike will collapse on me and start riding it down a very rocky trail at a pretty fast pace just hoping to get out of there as fast as possible. It was getting darker, I was shitting bricks by the second, and any moment now, something was going to jump out and eat me alive, because of logic. Then, I turn around and BOOM, I get a flat tire. I looked at my map wondering how it could deceive me and where our relationship took a wrong turn (pun intended). I was 2.5 hours into my voyage, there was no sign of any life around me, the noises got stranger, and there was definitely no lake in sight. My poor sense of direction and my infantile relationship with maps inadvertently led me up a mountain. All was going well until I realized I was in a really, really remote part of the town, and pretty soon realized I was also on an incline. I grabbed a bike, and set off, map in hand. So my sense of direction is pretty horrific and there was a time I was in a very remote part of Austria (Grünau) and wanted to go meet up with some friends at a lake. ![]() So in celebration of all things scary, we’ve hand selected the best travel horror stories from the Reddit community that will have you sleeping with one eye open! A young woman ponders all the ways travel can go wrong. While some people would like you to believe that the scariest stories are full of demons, demigods, and vengeful spirits, we know better than that.Īnyone with a passport can tell you real scary stories.Ī few of the classics include Tale of the Lost Luggage, The Thing On My Bed: an Airbnb Rental From Hell, Rosemary’s Passport…Has Been Stolen, and my personal favourite, The Silence of the Disgruntled TSA Agent. I will make an exception for you guys, though.Who doesn’t love a scary story? You know the kind ones that make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, your heart rate quicken and your palms sweaty. They draw you in surreal worlds and are pretty imaginative, so I suppose there’s no wonder of why I’m always so jealous of my hidden treasure and will always refuse to share these tiny gems with pretty much anybody. ![]() The takeaway? Most of the stories from NoSleep are what I call “effective storytelling” - they are well-written and they tend to linger around in your mind for a long time. I knew Jonathan Nolan and his team were big Reddit fans, but I can hardly picture Ryan Reynolds and Stephen Spielberg snooping around NoSleep. Lately they’ve been hiring a lot of writers from NoSleep for their shows + Netflix (and Amazon!) also bought the rights to a few stories & will turn them into series sometimes in the future, which is great news for aspiring screenwriters.īut that’s not all! Ryan Reynolds and Steven Spielberg are also turning two NoSleep stories into movies. That’s probably what happened to Netflix executives, too. They draw you in with deft storytelling that will keep you up late at night, rocking back and forth and staring at the end of your bed. These aren’t tales filled with bloodied corpses or chainsaw-wielding wackos. The (already) famous subreddit is home to some of the Internet’s most haunting original stories. These aren’t your average campfire stories they’re the scariest stories from my favorite subreddit r/nosleep. And this, kiddiez, is why it’s never a good idea to look closer or turn on the lights.
