BJ's, home of the save. - Welcome back to Creepcast. Today we are looking into the creepypasta, the creepypasta stratosphere. We're looking high into the creepypasta clouds. And we're reading a story called "Necrosleep," which won a pasta of the month on Creepypasta Wiki. Back when is this, 2020, 2014? - It was written 2014, but it won January of 2015. - Okay, cool. So that is, we're doing, looking back on, or looking at the website, I just, we were looking for a story to read today, and we saw this one and thought it was pretty sweet. So, or interesting from a glance. And it seems like it has like a bunch of really awesome, awesome comments and stuff. And we just got done doing the Japanese episode that had like a bit of the, like the post, like the guy who's like commenting and stuff. And I think this might be-- - The train station. - Yeah, I think this one might be somewhat similar of a man making post or like re, or at least trying to reach out to people via online or something, or maybe even just talking about a website. I'm not sure, but it seems similar. And I really liked the vibe of the train story. So I figured we'd read this one too. - Yep, this story was written by Limna. Limna Skate 64. He wrote this back in 2014. And it seems a lot of people go to, which this website's formatted not the best, but if you go to his creepypasta wiki profile, you can see him talking to other users. And one of them is friend of the show Imperial Invective or Travis. - Love Travis. - And it looks like he reached out to him all the way back in 2014 and was like, "Hey man, you know, good story." And then Limna Skate said, he was writing another one, but at least on the creepypasta wiki that never came out. So it looks like this guy had a one hit wonder that one post of the month, a lot of people really hype about it. And then he hasn't posted in 12 years. - Isn't that, is that one hit wonder or is that a man batting a thousand? Flawless victory. - That's true. That's true. If you get onto the Yankees once and hit a grand slam and quit, everyone will remember you. - I think you will. I mean, if that's the only thing that you've ever hit was a grand slam, I think that's pretty good. Pretty, pretty good. - Well, just in case Limna Skate's still out there, sees this and wants to continue writing, we're gonna link his creepypasta wiki profile in the description. So if Limna Skate's out there and wants to update with something new or wants to remain the mysterious shadow man, we'll throw the ball in his court. But this one looks pretty cool. If you scroll through pasta, 'cause the creepypasta wiki, I'll be the first to say has some real losers in there. But if you scroll through post of the month, you'll typically find cream of the crop in a lot of cases. And this one sounds cool. So we're gonna check it out. And again, Imperial Invective is known for excellent stories back to back. So if he likes it, I think I'm gonna like it. - And also just want to shout out our audio listeners on Spotify and Apple podcasts. Please give us a nice rating there if you want to listen over there.

Are we really starting this early? No meandering, no. - I know. I think this is, I think we're keeping a good pace. I think that this is the, I'm excited to get in. I will say the, looking at the wiki page here, there is one image that is of the necrosleep.net webpage. And I don't know why I just keep, I keep thinking fear.com. It gives me like similar vibes. Remember that? - What was fear.com? Was that like the website with all the- - It was a movie from 2002. - It had like creepy videos? - Well, fear.com was the, I'm thinking of just the website or the, the movie for 2002. - The movie? - Yeah. It was during like the.com kind of boom thing. And they're just like, what if there was a creepy website where you died? I don't really remember the, I don't remember the movie actually being that good, but I will say the poster or the cover of the movie scared the shit out of me. - Oh, I think I've seen this movie. - Yeah. - It scared the shit out of me when I was younger. - Oh, of the distorted face. - Yeah. It freaked me out. - That is a classic early 2000s distorted face. Look, it's got Natasha McKellone, McKellone. I think that's her name. She played the wife in the Truman show. I think, is that right? No, she played the girl that Truman actually loved in the Truman show. Yeah, yeah. Laura Linney played the wife. That's right, that's right. That's right, yeah. - And the guy who played Frost in Blade, can't remember his name, wanted to say, Ethan Hawke, definitely not Ethan Hawke. Can't remember his name. - Steven Dorff. - Yeah, Steven Dorff. He's also in those, I tried to quit smoking, but I had to get on this, whatever. - Right, right. He's the cop that keeps chain smoking the whole time and he's like, oh, so it's like Vince Vaughn in Cell. - I think Steven Dorff is in a legitimate medical commercial where it's like, I use this patch to quit smoking. That's how I also remember him from. - Oh, of course, his grand slam of the quit smoking commercial in Cell. He's a, dude, he's, I'm looking at his IMDb right now. He's in one of those guys who's in movies that can't be real. Like there's a movie called Felon, or just shows two prisoners. There's one called Gunslinger, where he's holding a gun. Mobland where, oh, that's John Travolta. That's an AI John Travolta holding a gun. - He, he reminds me of like an Ethan Hawke. It's like the cool guy, whatever. You know, it's like the, it's like the guy who's, he's in a little more of the edgy, edgy stuff where he's like, he's kind of in a, he's in a bunch of like horror films. And he's also in a bunch of like other random movies. I feel like Ethan Hawke, like Steven Dorf and Ethan Hawke are just in a bunch of shit. It doesn't matter. Who gives a shit? Neck or a sleeve. - But every now and then, Steven Hawke's in something like First Reformed and it's like, oh, well that's fine. You can do whatever you want now. All right, anyway. Yeah, Neck or a, there we go. Now I feel better. We meandered a bit. I diverted. It became confusing. Now I feel like I could start the story. Excellent. All right. NecroSleep, cold case file, NecroSleep.net, April 18th, 2023. The following account is the only surviving evidence supporting the existence of NecroSleep.net. The blog data was downloaded by a concerned reader just before it vanished from the internet in 2014. The data was not recovered until nine years had passed. These are the final days of Reed Murdoch, written in his own words. Okay, so this was posted in 2014. So at the time, 2023 was just saying nine years from now, someone's going to find this, right? - That I don't know. I can't tell. It's hard to tell with, sometimes it's hard to tell with how pre-posted Wiki is like. - I'm pretty sure this was post, everything I've seen, it looks like it was posted in 2014. I don't think that was an addendum made. - So this is, okay. So this is just a, do you think- - At the time it was nine years in the future. - I don't know. - I don't know what's behind this. - Okay. - I think. - I see. - So the only details for our story now is that these are the final days of Reed Murdoch, so. - Great name, by the way. - My Disconnected Life, blog by Reed Murdoch. October 16th, 2014. Hey guys. So I've decided to start. Should I do this in a YouTuber voice before it goes bad? - No, no, no, no. - Hey guys. So I decided to start. Hey guys. So I've decided to start a blog about my new life. Most of you reading this are probably my friends and acquaintances. For the rest of you, I'll expose a little bit about myself. My name's Reed. I just moved out of my stupid parents' basement, thank God. And now I'm pursuing my own life where no one can push. Okay. I'm sorry, I have to. Hey guys. Most of you are reading this are probably my friends and acquaintances, but for the rest of you, I'll expose a little bit about myself. My name's Reed. I just moved out of my stupid parents' basement. Thank God. And now I'm pursuing my own life where no one can push me around anymore. Technically, I'm the one who ditched the place, but they all kicked me out beforehand. Nobody gives a damn about a crackhead like me, not even my parents. Not that I care. - Okay, so we are under the assumption here that Reed, Reed is, Reed's a bit of a fractured character. He's a bit of a broken man, a crackhead who was living at home, who definitely got kicked out of his parents' apartment. He's a bit of a broken man, who definitely got kicked out of his parents' house, probably for smoking crack. - Well, is he an actual crackhead or is that in the way, like the white girl like i'm such a crackhead way that wasn't really a term in 2014 right i don't i mean i don't even think i've heard someone say oh i'm such a crackhead i mean you've never heard that no i feel like all the time it's it's like ah my second coffee today i'm being such a crackhead yeah oh well maybe it is then i'm i am under the assumption that this is a full-blown drug addict that we're going to be dealing with i mean if he got kicked out of his parents house yes i i would agree with that i don't think if you like stay up till 11 p.m your parents are like on the street go be gone anyways i'm doing my own thing now i had to give a few luxuries my mom's hellacious cooking not worthy of being called a luxury i'd much rather live off discount ramen noodles anyways sometimes i'll even have corn on the side when i'm feeling extra fancy speaking of fancy i'll admit my apartment is anything but it's the cheapest one i could find in fact i've the saying you get what you pay for to be especially true when i'm trying to sleep to the lulling sound of what i can only guess is some old lady getting mugged in the dark alley next door my ghetto sanctuary consists of one living room a kitchenette a bathroom and a closet the walls are practically made of cardboard and the carpet is stained with god knows what but it's good enough for me living with me is my poor excuse for a cat named twig she's one of those weird hairless breeds and in turn a real conversation piece i'm often asked why the cats turned inside out or if she was a victim of some perverse taxidermy project gone wrong shoddy as my life seems living on the cheap has its benefits my cost of living is next to nothing so i can make enough money to survive by doing odd jobs on the internet without ever leaving the house i spend half the month writing bogus reviews for products i've never used and filling out surveys on political issues i know nothing about the internet yet but i can spend the other half surfing the web and watching pirated reruns of the x-files i don't even have to pay for internet service thanks to my neighbor's complete failure to secure their wi-fi hotspot i bet their data overages are through the roof now oh well not my problem i'll be updating this blog every day or two if i'm up to anything interesting thanks for reading this boring crap hopefully my life will get a little more exciting in the days to come read i feel like all the stories you talk about you like pre-youtube yeah um i feel like that could just fit into any one of them and i wouldn't bet an eye what do you what do you mean just one day you could just be talking to be like yeah so i was in this uh this one room apartment with uh my hairless cat i had a really hairless cat named twig for a while and uh the neighbor didn't lock their wi-fi so i did that uh but i just watched the x-files all day and did fake surveys for money i did uh i did have a horrible apartment uh experience when i was living in la look at that go ahead i lived in this like they said it was a one-bedroom which is like the the biggest lie i mean it's it's it's so stupid it was this tiny apartment they're like oh it's one bedroom apartment and i was like well that's fine it's only me and then i uh went in there it's half a wall so it's like there's not even a full wall it's like uh almost like a bar you know like a bar countertop yeah so they just put in like half a wall and they're like okay well this is your your bedroom and you're like okay well this is okay here's my half privacy wall uh but the biggest thing with this was that there was this like huge this like i was caught in the middle basically of a rivalry between families there was these two indian families that lived in the apartment complex and i had no no now we're in the meat of this that was the appetizer i was i was like picking at the dumplings there's a few chips but now the steak's here all right well i lived i lived on the first floor and across from me there was a lot of food and there was a lot of food and there was a lot of food and there was this indian family and i would say predominantly in this apartment complex i mean it was a lot of indian families and just like a lot of people living in their apartments like i mean it might have been two bedrooms but there was maybe eight people living there it was just a lot of people just a lot of people and across from me there was one family and then the people who lived above me on the second floor uh they like they hated each other i don't know really to what extent but i would hear them screaming i just had war flashbacks because this guy was like their cardboard walls that could not even be an under like that's legitimately what it felt like and there was this one night this guy came out and there was like absolute pandemonium whatever and in these like kind of like la uh apartments it's like kind of like not not a compound but it's like you go out and it's whenever you step outside of your apartment you are outside even though you're so they would be yelling at each other and they were like throwing all their food and they were throwing wet towels and all this stuff at each other right and it kept hitting it kept hitting my door and it hit my window so i had like all this food and wet clothes wet towels all over my like all over my door handle my windows and instead of x file instead of x files i was just i think i was like watch i like went through this weird period where i kept watching pimp my ride so i'm watching pimp my ride like super super loud trying to drown out this thing so it's exhibit being like you know damn you're very nasty and then above me above me it's people being like do not look at her do not look at her over and over and over again i was not it was like that back and forth it was it was absolute pandemonium and the reason that the half wall is important is because i didn't have a i mean like it doesn't go up the ceiling so then the living room window which saw out into the uh like the common area or like you know like the sidewalk that would go like the pool and all that stuff whatever it was there and i was just trying to sleep and you would just see the silhouettes of these people screaming and once again the the wet towels i really and i know i keep saying wet towels yeah i cannot emphasize the amount of what why why why why why why why did they have wet towels i don't know at first i thought there was a pool yeah yeah well there's the pool oh okay but it was as if they washed it everyone there was only a uh there's like a common you know like a washer and dryer room in the apartment complex uh so it's like on the way but the people above me but the people above me i think that they washed all of their stuff in their apartment probably in their bath or something i don't know but it wasn't just uh it wasn't it's not like it was just like one or two i don't know beach towels to like dry off with this was like yeah bathroom towels like an entire family's collection of towels imagine like a full not like a hand towel a full bath towel that you dry your body off with soaking wet balled up and then like thrown as hard as they can at a guy's like window it's a goddamn it's it's it becomes artillery after a while but it was uh it was a very chaotic time i went broke though and i uh i had to leave that place so i would have stayed really yeah really where'd you go from there uh utah i was too embarrassed to uh that's right i was too embarrassed to go back home i already went broke before i had to go back home i was like i remember i remember you telling me about this and you were what was you worked with a bunch of uh mormons over there it was a call it was an installation center or something like that it was a solar panel company solar panel that was it yeah yeah that's right that's right yeah they all took i worked with okay i the day Avengers infinity war, whatever came out, they, cause I mean, they're all Disney adults, you know? Yeah. And they all like, yeah, freaked out and they gave us the day off to see it. The day, by the way, just want to say it's a hour and a half, two hour long movie. And they're like, better take a full work day off to figure that one out. Okay. All right. All right. Hold on. Go back, go back. Uh, what would the families fight over? You said like, don't look at her. Like their daughter. I told you, I don't know. It would always be big blanket statements like that, where there's obviously some kind of, there's been filled up leading to it. I have no idea about I'm like, right. You know, and this, this is also happening. I'm bringing home groceries. I'm coming home from work. You hear these exchanges there. I might be watching pit my ride in my, in my apartment. And then there's, you hear the kind of like the random things it would always, it would just be like big. That was like, I remember calling my mom one time being like, I don't know what the conflict is. It's it would make so much more sense if it was like, you cheated on my wife or, you know, like, or you slept with my wife, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was either. Don't look at her, which I was like, okay, well that could be maybe, I don't know, peeping Tom or to be wife, daughter. So the next, like the next day would be give that back, give it back. You'd be like, well, why did he even take, you know, there might've been like a Romeo Juliet scenario going. On like they had a couple, one of them had like a teenage son, the other teenage daughter, you know, I guess, I don't know. It was a lot of people. I mean, like it really, it was, it was like, I mean like a family of people. I mean, it was like a wife, a dad, a kids, grandma. I mean, it was a lot of people in the, it was a generational conflict, but you would just see the explosions when they would pass each other, going to launch. I mean, it would in the most, that's probably why the one family washed their towels. In the bath. So they wouldn't have to see the other family. I mean, maybe, I don't know. It was chaotic. I fucking, And I, if any of our listeners who's, who's existing in an apartment right now, I really do salute you. I do not want to go back every time I, every apartment I've ever lived in. I fucking, I always had some kind of issue. I hated it. I've never lived in an apartment. Closest was when I was dating Kayla, she lived in the dorms at college. So I would go like, you know, stay there and stuff. But obviously, you know, everyone's same age going to classes. There's not nearly as much like familial drama. There's drama was like people getting drunk and, you know, parties and stuff, but not that kind of, you know, just throwing stuff or whatever. We always just had a bunch of like, we just always had a bunch of very creepy, weird. So it was just apartments are just such a weird, weird place to meet people. But anyways. Okay. Yeah. So anyway, back to the story, necrosleep. Well, at least, at least so far, we have at least understood this about our main character person. It seems like newly on their own doesn't go out a lot is a homebody who basically exists on the internet all day. That's pretty much what we've found out so far. Right, right. Well, he got kicked out because of smoking crack. That is the difference between you and him. You did. You didn't smoke. I don't think smoked crack at any point. I have not smoked crack. Yeah. If I did, if I have, I would admit it. You would, you would talk about it. I don't think I would judge anyone who smoked crack. Maybe once. I think if, if they're like, well, I've done it a couple of times. I'm like, well, what, what did you miss the first time? You know, like what, what, what was the unanswered question? This would be my question. What was the gap between the times? Because if someone does crack and then three years later, they do it again. I think there's still. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. When they do that, it's like, all right, so you were crack addict for a little while, which again. Again, clean, totally fine. But there's a big difference between spacing them out and like grouping them all up. I have my own, I have my own personal vices with fucking food and who doesn't drink a little too much. You know what? If someone's just like, you know what? I, I'm on a bit of a fucking crack binge. I mean, I would say, yeah, I think I'd get taken care of, but God bless you is what I'd say. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, this isn't good for you. You need to do better. But, uh, you know, I'm glad you can't see, uh, the things that I'm not great at. Uh, so my suck that, you know, I can see yours. So I get it. I get it. October 18th, 2014. I've decided to do something unusual. It's 3am and I intend to stay up all night. Caffeinated beverages at my side. Why am I doing this? You ask? Because I'm permanently switching to a nocturnal sleep schedule. In other words, I'll be sleeping during the day instead of the night. I have a number of good reasons for doing this. Number one, there's less people out at night. So leaving the building won't be such a dreaded thing. Number two, sunlight gives you cancer, right? Number three, screw social norms. Number four, the internet speed seems to increase substantially after midnight. Number five, it's a free country. I don't even need reasons. Like I was fifth reason is that the reasons are needed. Um, so the first reason is that I don't need reasons. The first point is interesting. He's dreading leaving the building because of people. So it may just be because of his addiction, but he also may be a bit agoraphobic of like running into others and stuff. Also, I ran into this cool forum called Nocturnal Underground. Naturally, it's full of sun-loathing recluses and cynical misanthropes like me. How perfect. I registered straight away and found the forum dwellers to be very welcoming. It's not the most famous of internet destinations. It's more of a tight-knit hole in the wall for a very obscure subculture. We all seem to share general appreciation for societal disconnect, which is cool because I really thought I was the only whack job who can't stand dealing with normal people. After all, it's these normal people who are telling me I don't have the right to smoke whatever substances I damn well please as if it's their business. I'll let you all know how this whole nocturnal thing works for me. Peace out. Have we done, I feel like we have, have we done stories before where the. Protagonist is an addict of some kind. No, I mean, I don't think that our, this guy's a crack addict, actually. I think, I think that you're probably right. I think it's him just being like, oh, it's my crackhead because already he's starting to show like, uh, kind of like what you're saying. Like, oh, I stay up all night. I'm, I'm as twingy as a crackhead or something like I'm just. Well, yeah, but then he had that line where he said. Yeah, but it's just weed. Like you smoke whatever. Well, yeah, I mean, it could be, it could just be weed or something like that, but he did get kicked out of his house. So could be. It could be the actual crack. I don't know, but he clearly doesn't like other people, which I imagine this form is where like, he's going to find whatever necrosleep is and stuff. So October 21st, 2014, I'm adjusting very well to my new lifestyle. I can already tell this is the way I should have been living all along. The internet is a far more interesting place during the night. Everything has been fairly normal lately, except for one thing. I guess, I guess yesternight would technically be a word. Yesternight, I received a mysterious private message on nocturnal underground. Here it is. Copy and pasted for your reading pleasure. To Readman07 from Revelation666. Subject, necrosleep.net.

Thank you so much to Warby Parker for sponsoring the episode. Now back to the fucking episode. I want to take a moment to thank today's sponsor, Brunt Workwear. I wouldn't consider this job. Labor, but when I do actual labor, as few and far between as that may be, it seems a lot of the brands that are comfortable aren't that durable, and the brands that are durable don't really care about your comfort. Thankfully, someone's decided to make the best of both worlds, and that someone is Brunt Workwear. Brunt boots are as stylish as they are comfortable and durable. They sent me a pair, which I greatly appreciate, and this boot, the Soft Toe Marin, is waterproof, leather, comfortable, so you don't have to sacrifice on Jobs' account. Brunt's founder. Eric Gerard grew up blue collar and saw that a lot of work companies were becoming fashion companies, so Brunt's determination was to make leather boots that didn't have a break-in period or stiff leather or give you sore feet, and their options include things like waterproof and soft toe or safety toe or lace up or pull on. As a matter of fact, Brunt is so confident in their boots that during their trial period, you can wear them to the job site. That's right, you don't just try on the boots, walk around your home, they want you to work in them and see if you notice a difference. If you don't, you can send them back. Brunt also makes things like heavy-duty pants, jackets, and hoodies to ensure that you're well-equipped and comfortable wherever you are. Brunt was tired of seeing brands cut corners and wanted you to be comfortable whatever you're doing. And for a limited time, our listeners can get $10 off their order when they use code CREEPCAST at checkout. That's right, just head to the link in the description at BruntWorkwear.com and use discount code CREEPCAST to get $10 off your Brunt Workwear order today. Now, if you check out, if you could let them know we sent you, it would really mean a lot. Thank you to Brunt for sponsoring the show, their link will be in the description. and we are now back to the episode. Sounds like a total scam, but it piqued my interest. I couldn't resist going to the site just to see what the hell it was. So, I went there and arrived at a completely empty black page. I noticed a text cursor blinking in the center, indicating that I could type. I presumed that this was where I was supposed to put in the invitation code, and I presumed correctly. When the homepage loaded, I immediately noticed that all of the text was in Russian besides the title header, which simply said Necrosleep.net in English. My web browser automatically detected that the site was Russian and offered to translate it for me, so of course, I clicked yes. Now, the site was clearly on the shady side. Whoever made it was certainly not well-versed in web design, as it had more in common with the notepad document than a good webpage. The background was black, the white text was written in the oh-so-generic courier, and under the title header was a row of red hyperlinks labeled as follows. Main, Purchase, Secret, and Credit. Here's an excerpt from the main page. Welcome to Necrosleep.net. This website is invitation only. Selected visitors have exclusive access to our special product that will change your life forever.

That's really fun. Yeah, this is Russian sleep experiment territory with the whole, if you stay awake long enough, you know, you unlock something, or you quit staving something off you didn't realize you've been staving off your whole life. That's cool. What a bold claim these people are making. There's no way this stuff actually works. Otherwise, everyone would be taking it. Obviously, I was skeptical and still am. But I snooped around the site a bit more just out of curiosity. I clicked the secret hyperlink, which took me to another page. Here's the text from said page. Necrosleep is comprised of special and rare ingredients, which we cannot disclose in order to ensure that our formula stays in private hands. In order to keep our product available, it can only be distributed through alternative means on an exclusive basis. The active ingredient in Necrosleep has been sought after for years by doctors and scientists intending to display sleep with wakefulness. Only we have managed to do what others could not, as permitted by the will of our master. We can assure you with full confidence that our product will change your life and you will never feel the need to sleep again. Feel free to indulge in our secret. I'm assuming master is the devil or something adjacent given all the 666 stuff so far. I hope not. Probably. I mean, the name of the account was Revelation 666. I mean, I get that. I'm just saying, you know. I agree. It'd be more impressive if it doesn't. Or if they never, you know, allude further as to what master is. But I'm just bear trapping right now. That's probably the direction. It's not a fucking bear trap when 666 is plastered all over the page. But okay, it gives me a bear trap. Well, no, I think that would be a bear trap because that requires some previous knowledge of what 666 means. And I also had to read Roman numerals, which is hard. And yeah, and it said master. So I'm just putting pieces together. It can be a beaver trap. Have you seen beaver traps? They're like bear traps but smaller and they don't have teeth, you know. I have not. Alternative means. More like black market. Whatever's going on here doesn't appear to be legal exactly. Not that I care about the law. I just get untrustworthy vibes from this site. Anyways, I continued on and clicked the credit hyperlink. I'd skipped a little when I was confronted with honestly the most uncanny photo of a living person I've ever seen. It was an old black and white photo of a tall man in a doctor's coat. If he wasn't standing upright, I'd say the guy was dead. But my guess is that he was just cadaverously unhealthy. And probably blind from the looks of his pale, lifeless eyes. Not a trace of emotion could be found in his face. There was a small bit of text below the photo, which reads as follows. Credit for the pioneering of Necrosweep goes to the brilliant Dr. Hale A. St. Oh, my God. Oh, boy. Please, Lord, don't do this. Please, God. Lord. Dr. Hale A. Stan. Please, please, Lord. Okay. Brilliant Dr. Hale A. Stan, proxy of our master and founder of the Ukrainian Institute of Occult Medicine. His work lives on. Ukrainian Institute of Occult Medicine. Okay. I was going to make a joke before the Hale A. Stan about like, oh, look at our brilliant leader. And it's like a corpse just stood up. Hale A. Stan. All right. Proxy of our master? Occult medicine? Maybe I've watched too many horror movies, but this isn't your typical snake oil sales pitch. Maybe they're part of some deranged religious group or something? I admit I was slightly creeped out, but more fascinated. Clicked the purchase hyperlink out of mere curiosity once again. Turns out each pill costs some absurd amount of Russian currency, which I found out was equal to about 130 US dollars per pill. Ridiculous. That's ridiculous. It's just ridiculous. I mean, if you're an American, you don't need to know that. Not that I would buy them, even if I could. I immediately left the site. At this point, I'm guessing it's probably a lousy foreign credit card scam or some weird cult initiative. Either way, it made my day more interesting than it normally would have been. Next, I'm going to go to the next one. I'm going to go to the next one. and like that beat right there would have revealed that it's the okay well either somebody's hacking this thing or it's almost like a like a fucking ghost is contacting me or something like a little more paranormal or something i think it's pretty cool or even if you take out the paranormal in general and it is someone just being like they bypass and they want to talk to you directly and to set up that uh yeah that mystery for some reason right when i made the decision to start sleeping through the day i'm contacted by this person who says i don't have to sleep anymore i think that would be pretty cool the satan takes a lot of wind out of the sails i'm i'm not going to be a previous hunter would would be rolling his eyes and huffing and puffing you literally did that well i mean i mean continuously and i would be like this is bad blah blah i'm saying that i'm having faith that this is going to course correct and that it will pay off what changed in you you are you not previous hunter right now i think after do it well one you read so much stuff that you just after a while not that you become desensitized to it but i think that you have you have to have some influence of faith that something is going to it's going to be better you know what i mean right you have to hope and also who just wants to listen to a fucking debbie downer the whole time so you know like let's we're having fun reading it i don't think that this story is like bad so far i think it's kind of cute we'll see all right we'll see if you keep this positive disposition october 23rd 2014 i finally got around to googling necrosleep the results were mostly irrelevant youtube channels and defunct 90s screamo bands from the looks of it but i noticed among the garbage results a link to a post on fastmd.com the preview said does anyone know if this necrosleep stuff actually works so i clicked on it only to be directed to a page stating the post you're looking for has been deleted and no longer exists should have known nothing could ever be easy or predictable i returned to the results and had to scan over several pages of them before finally running into an old gaming forum thread where the website necrosleep.net was mentioned this time post hadn't been deleted in the middle of a conversation about maximizing crop production in some medieval strategy game one of the users claimed to have taken necrosleep in order to tend to his virtual farm 24 hours a day so i clicked on it and it was deleted and no longer exists should have known that necrosleep.net was a fake it was a fake and that the site was linked to necrosleep.net just a few years ago needless to say the other forum patrons were highly skeptical the guy posted a link to necrosleep.net in an attempt to back up his claim ultimately failing to convince him because you guessed it the site was bound to his ip address he also had the same invitation code as me dclxvi leading me to believe that it's just a formality intended to make you feel special but that doesn't explain why and how my ip and apparently someone else's ip address is linked to necrosleep.net but that doesn't explain why and how my ip and apparently someone else's ip address is linked to necrosleep.net leading me to believe that it's just a formality intended to make you feel special but that doesn't explain why and how my ip and apparently someone else's ip address is linked to necrosleep.net got singled out again it's like finding people who have made the determination to not sleep or yeah i do not sleep and i like i think that's that's pretty fun also this idea too of the chronic online culture or even like a guy being like i need to tend to my video game for 24 hours a day it's almost like it is almost making like a deal with the devil you know and once again it's like that concept would be so much funnier or so much funner if it wasn't dr you know hayley stale a stand yeah yeah yeah it'd be i would respect this story pretty big if that was all a misdirect maybe it is you know maybe it is it's just so it's so on the nose that i'm i'm hoping it's just like it's yeah it's directed yeah kale a stan the braggart then claimed that there was irrefutable proof of his ceaseless wakefulness in his in-game score in relation to the length of time his account had existed his score was excessively high so high in fact that it would be impossible for him to attain so high a score in so short a time frame unless he was playing the game for at least 21 hours a day which leaves practically no time for sleeping despite all that they attributed his accomplishment to an automatic bot program that operated the game for him during the night since cheating in this way is against the game rules his account was promptly banned according to the moderator at the end of the thread sure enough little red letters below his form avatar with words, banned for bot abuse, 8-12-2006. I couldn't find any more relevant results for Necrosleep or Necrosleep.net other than what I just told you about. Looks like these online dope dealers are pretty stealthy. I'm just dying to know what their real motives might be, because I could think of a million better ways to seal someone's credit card number or peddle quack remedies. Could be a prank, but evidently, this has been going on since 2006 at least. Perhaps some jokes just never die. I kind of read that ending as him also being like, I think he's starting to come around to like something, like, I think he believes that this thing is not just a scam. Like, I think that he's like, yeah, he's starting to be like, ha ha ha guys, funny joke. Ha ha ha. I actually believe that there's some kind of project or something. This idea too, though, of, uh, yeah, I really like this idea of like, or what, why do you think they let that only? That's the only thing, or let me rephrase what I'm saying. Why do you think that they have that still up? Like if they're being this shady and like, there's no other cases of Necrosleep, why do you think that there's only like that guy, uh, like the gamer guy? Why do you think that that's still, if they're not actually supernatural, they might have just missed it. Maybe if it was just mentioned in a thread in 2006 about a farming game, right? Then he got banned. Um, or there could be other accounts like that out there. It's just so bare. Cause like you said, Necrosleep sounds like scary YouTube videos or metal bands and stuff like that. You know, it, there was a bunch of results covering it. So maybe if you do dig deep enough, you will find random, but maybe people can't make a post about it, but maybe the phrasing is mentioned in comments around the internet and stuff like that. Yeah. Because I think what's churned his mind is like the fact that it grabbed his IP and it like basically hacked his IP. And so he's like, oh, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't site so that it could mail him this like offer to buy a product and it's been doing that for nearly a decade so i think that's why i think this isn't just a scam it's also the thing why would a ghost even give a fuck about the pills costing anything versus usually if you just sign up for it's like does it sound interesting all right we'll send you some you know so i'm wondering the financial aspect to it of i feel like it's a ruse or it maybe just makes it sound more mystical i don't think it's a ghost i think cults more likely um but also the money makes it yeah because if you got a spam ad it's like free just click here and give us your address it'd be like okay you know um i feel like the money legitimizes it somehow hey look ghost gotta make a living it's hard out there if me and you invented a pill that lets you stay up all night are we gonna sell that for free no i need 25 ghost dollars you yeah well which is the equivalent of like 300 bucks usd payout it's four bitcoin per ghost dollar it's oh my gosh it's like it's like 350 000 and that's what we would sell it for because good youtubers know when they have a product on their hand october 25th 2014 i got another pm from revelation 666 am i the only one who gets creeped out by that name yes knowing what i know now it makes me easy to think about the great links this user went to contact me specifically for some reason they stealthily bypass the system just to send me these messages and make me this offer here's the message i received to reidman07 from revelation666 subject necrosleep.net backdoor congratulations reidman07 you've you've been selected to receive a free 30-day trial of necrosleep claim your exclusive reward at necrosleep.net backdoor find out what you've been missing your entire life risk-free necrosleep.net backdoor all right there it is there you go there's your why would they not just give it to you make you think it's a free product and then they slide you with the offer once again my curiosity got the best of me bracing myself for whatever scam was coming my way i clicked the link i was taken to a page asking for my address nothing more thought about it carefully knowing full well that these people likely have malicious intentions but if i entered my post office box what's the worst that could happen them sending me some junk mail or faulty pills the point is that i'll finally know what they want for me i entered the address october 28 2014. i decided to go back to the thread i posted on nocturnal underground and let people know what's up sure enough their reactions were amusing conversation as follows well guys happened again look at the attachment don't tell me you clicked on this one too i did then it asked me for my address but don't worry i only entered my po box are you out of your fucking mind i take it you couldn't persuade the admins to disable the profanity filter no shit sherlock apparently they got a huge kick out of watching us quarrel over it i wouldn't be surprised if hg wishing wells sent me these weird messages just to stir up some controversy around here neither would i the mystery has been solved everybody go home in all seriousness i had nothing to do with this i swear on my great grandmother's life swearing on the life of a dead person isn't exactly the most convincing way to plead i think the joke's gone far enough hg did you do it or not i really didn't do it the admins and i generally perplexed when we saw where the message came from or should i say where the message didn't come from it was certainly not from any registered user on the on the inside if they actually send you the pills are you gonna take them you couldn't pay me a million bucks to try that shit i can personally guarantee you that this stuff is too good to be true nothing that nothing can make you stay awake forever i agree with cosmic don't take this any further even if they do send me the pills and it's not just junk mail i'm not gonna take it unless i find some more information on it do you really think i'm that stupid chill out guys i probably won't update this thread anymore just follow my blog if you want to know what's up with me links on my profile i hate this idea of him well of him saying i hate the idea of him being like okay even if i got the pills like i'm not going to take this unless i find more information on it it's like what just don't take them even if you i'm not gonna take them unless i look at them and think about it and then take them then i'll do it and you can follow on my blog link

check out my blog i'll be writing about it you you can watch me go through complete organ failure on my only fans link on my profile yeah goatee put all the pills in my asshole take a picture of it it's on my blog it's on my only fans you know only fans was originally intended to be like a patreon competitor it was just supposed to be like uh creators do their own thing but they didn't moderate nudity quick enough so here we are do you remember that time that only fans was like we're going to do this and we're going to do this and we're going to do this and we're going to remove all adult content from the site and then they had a meeting and immediately were like we are not going to remove adult content like you would lose all of your revenue yeah so they walked into that board meet someone said that at the company and then they had a board meeting and it's like okay so um we are going to be making 0.05 percent of our current revenue if we do that so what about the guy destiny i was just coming destiny doesn't choose its heroes what were you about to say nothing nothing i heard you say something about a guy shoving something you can there's a thought no i think you should continue with whatever that was well we pretty much ruled out the possibility that it's a prank by the admins i don't think hg wishing wells would carry on a joke this long nor would he lie so blatantly and even if one of the other admins would prank me i can't imagine they would do it with some russian supplement pitch it's just all too strange i also want to point out that as soon as you figured out that guy was an admin you switched into that voice well it's also like oh my god i'm i have three voices i can do it i'm like now they're bringing in a fourth guy oh boy here we go here here we go he better be a stereotype kind of the uh october 30th 2014. last night i had a buddy of mine delivered the mail to my doorstep in exchange for some coding work on his flash site i'll do just about anything to avoid leaving the building but that's not the point point is that i received an envelope with no return address and i immediately knew who it was from that's interesting the little side notes about him being afraid of people and stuff like that um yeah he didn't really present it in context it just kind of comes up it feels like very intentional the way it keeps getting jabbed in yeah yeah it was old very old like it'd been sitting in a dusty attic for decades i opened the stained envelope only to find a smaller manila envelope inside also rather old looking inscribed on the small envelope was the word necrosleep and a word of advice on storing the packet in a cool dark place for maximum potency the words appeared to have been stamped onto the envelope rather than printed i opened the small envelope and saw that it had been stamped onto the envelope rather than a small envelope sure enough there were 30 black pills inside more crude than what you might get from your local pharmacy now before you all start freaking out i'm not gonna take these at least not until i can dig up some more reliable information on them i hate them there it is i hate i hate you so much reed now i know that these russian dope dealers were just trying to send me junk mail the question is why would they send me the pills if they don't actually work surely they must be the ones who sent me the pills i don't know i don't know i don't know i just want my money which they wouldn't get after a failed 30-day trial what if they're trying to kill me i never did have a good feeling about any of this but the curiosity is killing me this guy just needs to be shot i can't stand him also i like that they're black pills it does make it seem like reed's just going to become an ultimate doom pillar yeah he takes one what the billions must die what's even the point of us even trying to figure out the sleep nothing ever happens this is just we might have to do something about it i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i might as well just give up nothing ever happens we might as well billions must die for me october 31st 2014 halloween it just occurred to me that i completely overlooked something i never researched dr hale a stan oh perfect here he comes the guy who apparently had something to do with necro sleep so i did a quick google search and found much to my surprise that he had his own article on wikipedia the article states that dr stan was a ukrainian scientist and physician he claimed to have been directly involved in the experiments portrayed in a 1940 motion picture which documented soviet research into the resuscitation of clinically dead organisms here's an excerpt from the article this is uh this thing about the dog heads is real by the way yeah i was gonna say i'm looking at right now the video is um a real video they did which is this kind of graphic but they took uh dog's head and they took the dog's head and they took the dog's heads that have been decapitated and they pumped them with blood um to get them to temporarily be alive or at least look alive um and they reacted to noise and they flinched it's pretty unsettling it's very unsettling video yeah yeah well it's decapitated dogs i would say it's kind of creepy well yeah but just the flinching and stuff and i don't know yeah the idea of the experiment was that eventually if we better understood like what keeps people alive resuscitation there could be a way to save people there was a theory for a while that someone had like a chronic disease uh like a cancer or something that was riddled their body and they die from could there be a way to perform like a head transplant right this worked right um stuff like that which is interesting idea but pretty macabre experiments so anyway the motion picture experiments in the revival of organisms depicts various disturbing medical experiments conducted on canines one of which involves keeping the dog's decapitated head alive with a primitive autojector machine that supplied it with oxygenated blood the operations in the film were credited to dr sergey brook and honenko brook honenko however dr haley stan incessantly claimed to be the one who really conducted the experiments and invented the autojector and that they only credited brook honenko because stan was sentenced to life in prison for illegally conducting gruesome experiments on humans you know like you do he believed that because he had consent from his test subjects albeit through bribery he had not committed an immoral crime the linen prize was awarded to brook honenko for the autojector while stan remained in permanent imprisonment it wasn't until they discovered the lost footage of his morbid human experiments that they had him executed by lethal injection his last words spoken in an identified language died with him dr haley stan was rumored to have pioneered a variety of cures for major conditions such as narcolepsy and epilepsy however the results were not published in a scientific manner and therefore the majority of his alleged accomplishments were unverifiable as well as seemingly occult in nature the number of people he apparently cured of various incurable afflictions between 1930 and 1940 was in the thousands attempts to replicate the documented remedies ultimately failed leading most to believe he was practicing pseudoscience it's believed by some that dr haley stan was following has a following to this day and that his miracle cures are still being practiced and peddled from russia and ukraine some claim to have received mysterious emails and offers pertaining to dr haley stan's work all investigations revealed no evidence to support these claims um that so i imagine the idea there is that he was a healer through witchcraft or like occult worship and stuff like that um and that's why it can never be replicated because the missing ingredient was the the magic or the um the the witchery of it mama mama wipe my butt because this is stinky what did you like that well what was that just a kind of a way for me to signify that i thought that was just stinky didn't really like that oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah well you know you're being good i will admit this is good hunter compared to old hunter this is good i am trying to i'm trying to keep the you know what it is is i i'm legitimately pretty interested in that's weird uh dark web i don't really know what the dark web is how do you think the dark web is really that touched upon in terms of like horror stories i know that there's some that we've done but not enough right um i would say in the grand scheme of things we know i remember the hidden web page yeah and stuff like that but no we haven't read it totally untouched but i'm just saying that this idea we haven't read a ton this idea of like a dark web forum is legitimately creepy also it's a thing too that's like this is a real thing that could happen in real life you know and all every time that i see the word dr hale a stan i want to drive my fucking fist through my monitor so i'm like i'm just trying to figure out what's going on and i'm like i'm just trying to figure out what's going on and i'm going to juggle these emotions i'm feeling right that's fair and again i'm gonna say again you're doing good uh and i'm proud of you you're being very brave right now and i know this is hard for you uh so but but your your monitor didn't hurt you um and the story has good elements like the the email stuff like that right um i feel like you could get rid of all the doctor stuff and if it was just uh if it was all anonymous people on the internet to me that's just uh so much scary with what kind of i want you to do i want you i want you to do something i want you to i want you to put your hands forward like on the size of your keyboard and i want you to close your eyes okay are you doing that yep okay now i'm doing the same so it's like it's it's like through the screen we're my eyes i'm doing it and i'm saying this isn't you if we could build the world together did that help it did make you feel better i feel better that's good that's good all right we'll continue the story i can't wait to watch the recording back and you're just like like when i did that just completely bent over pants pulled down yeah i'm goating no i'm looking yeah i'm looking no i'm definitely looking for real i was doing that uh i had my pants down i spread my ass my ass cheeks open my asshole was there and i was singing that song from my looney tunes that frog does hello my baby hello my honey what i was doing and i was puffing my cigar too for my asshole perfect doing that perfect yeah i couldn't tell a difference so you know i'm holding the pill in my hand ready to take it at a moment's notice i hate you here he is here he goes i've been thinking hard about this i know it's not the safest thing to do but i'm a risk taker this turns out badly i don't have much to live for anyways life's nothing without danger and i want to know the motive also don't you more than anything don't you stay inside all day life's nothing without life's nothing without the man who won't step outside of the house he's afraid to go outside dude fuck yourself reed fuck this guy life is nothing without danger and and i want to i want to know the motives of these people he's listening to kenny loggins on his bed wearing sunglasses danger the way there's a there's a bed sheet stapled to the window life's nothing without danger yeah i'm gonna pick my nose and put it on my booger wall that's like aspen gold's blood wall i think about that all the time do you remember that no he posted a photo of like his old better he's like can't believe i started here and there was blood all over the wall and someone was like uh what's with the blood on the wall and he replied and said i used to have a condition where my gums would bleed and i was like what's with the blood on the wall and he replied and so when i woke up in the morning i would just wipe it on the wall it's pretty gross like what pretty uh pretty nasty the blood you like that isaiah it's like are you an animal what are you doing that's the kind of thing i would worry about like a pet rabbit doing in its cage all day it's like more mouth blood on the wall what's wrong with you i need to know what they want for me i need to know what i'm missing there's only one way to find out november 3rd 2014 i can't believe it it's actually working i was sleeping three days and i don't feel remotely tired holy hell i've never felt so focused and stimulated in my life i don't know what's in this stuff but it works i don't know how long it's gonna work exactly so i'm not gonna get my hopes up but the claim is that i'll never need to sleep again ever so far so good so okay is he is he just staying awake non-stop in his room in his one room just not stepping outside i mean i think that's the assumption yeah is that he's just like i'm just awake every day in my apartment what a cool reason to stay up for non-stop to do nothing life is dangerous and then like it's not life without danger yeah yeah highway to the dangers as he scrapes blood on the blood wall take me under your mind i'm just thinking about a guy who wakes up like smears blood on the wall it's fucking disgusting top gun it's fucking disgusting top gun he's listening to the top gun soundtrack and he's just like for 48 hours straight he's just sitting up on the side of his bed like bobbing his head and like yeah yeah life's danger yeah it's gonna be a good day gonna be a big day good day no sunlight getting in entirely like strobing leds flickering to support his stupid little life he's making me so mad that i'm that's funny like we really don't even know i know that he does like odd jobs i mean i guess i guess he does surveys he does he just gets to like stock up on doing a bunch of like odd jobs i guess is his motive is his motivation i guess he's like wow i made i made a hundred and ten dollars today we're balling now i'm moving up in the world i got kicked out of my parents house for smoking crack i need my wings across the it's like throws up on himself just leaves it take my breath away he's got aviators on cut off sleeve jean vest with no shirt underneath he's like yeah rise and shine time to grind gets on this board to talk about how excited he is to do nothing i hate him it's a hard to like fella i will say he gives he gives off david king vibes is the problem he does he does there's a lot of that where it's like what is all this energy for what are you doing with it nothing and then like he he gets he's like i'm not gonna take this pill unless i find more info i'm not gonna take it and he keeps talking about finding more info never typed in the name of the guy the only information he has to go with he talks about yeah tomorrow i'm gonna google what are you doing today not that you can't type this into google and then he does he's like yeah someone was playing a farming game i don't know and then two weeks later he's like oh yeah i should probably look up the name of this guy i wish i could find more info about it doctor and then he gets the pill yeah and he's like i'm not gonna take this unless i get more info oh i found more info this guy got executed for doing death experiments good enough for me i'm gonna take it and he's just setting up non-stop like i'm not gonna take this unless i get more info oh i found more info this guy got Honey, I'm. also to be fair he did not he didn't say where he found he said i'm holding the pill in my hand so it's just after the uh after he found out about yeah the doctor it was like well what did you even what did you even find that made you found out the dude was like an occult practicer he's like yeah that's okay i'll take it that's fine so i can stay up and do nothing you could argue that the that the hail a satan uh supposedly supposedly uh healed thousands of people so he's like well i mean he did he did do good work i guess yeah in pseudoscience that's almost definitely right here's what gets me if this guy had a motivation where it's like oh i'm trying to take care of my family uh and i just need to i i've i'm gonna lose one of these jobs if i can and i'm i've been i've been working double shifts and i can't sleep only so many hours in the day something like that right then i would kind of be like well yeah he sees this pill as a way to you know take care of himself take care of his family things like that but this guy's doing nothing yeah being a chronic doesn't like the sun being a chronically online guy who admits that he's like i really don't have a lot going on i got a lot going on but also his whole reason for staying up at night is because he fears day and he fears people now he has to be awake during the day rule number five i don't need to list my freaking ways i don't know number five uh who needs rules not me not this guy my gosh okay i can't stand him or his blood wall november 4th 2014 still works like a charm after four days but lately the light's been really bothering me so i duct tape a piece of cardboard over the window i never liked that window anyways at night get this feeling that i'm being watched from outside it's been making me anxious more than usual it's easy to think you're seeing something uncanny out the window until you realize it's just your own reflection distorted by the cheap glass pane anyways that issue's been resolved i also found something interesting when i was taking my nightly pills until recently i failed to notice a symbol stamped on the side of the small manila envelope yes the inside i know i've seen the symbol before but i can't remember where exactly it's a downward pointing oh my god it's a downward pointing pentagram with what i think is a goat's head inscribed with kill me kill me like this next sentence is even better maybe they just reused an old envelope turn it inside out or something you know that the people who have the the goat head the satanic pentagram seals from hail a stand from hail a stand that thing i said earlier about just scroll and find pasta of the month um in 2014 this was special in 2014 this was like oh the devil did it because like we didn't have a lot to work on but now also like on november 4th he was like anyone else can't hate seeing their reflection anybody else hate looking in the mirrors yeah i better put a piece of con board up so i can't see myself wait what is this a pentagon with a goat head from dr hail a stand oh jeez louise what if we better check this out oh my thing i just read the first sentence read read the read the first sentence of the next fucking post november 5th 2014 thanks to one of my followers for pointing out something i didn't realize the emblem is a goat head the emblem inside the envelope was actually satanic symbol yeah needless to say i'm definitely not taking this crap anymore all right all right you know this is you know this is yeah this is this is cosmic mockery to me because in the delorier invitation it was like it was the way i want the satanic symbol to be it was like it was the way i want the satanic symbol to be you know like the right angle speaking through technology like the um the higher order stuff like that's what i'm all about right but but the universe was like oh you like that you like that well how about how about dr hail a stand and how about uh he finds out that the pills that make you awake forever is satanic and his response is yeah needless to say i'm definitely not taking this whatever i'm dead inside what yeah what whatever whatever um yeah needless to say i'm so mad at him not even the story necessarily it's like i was around in 2014 this was these were the hits people were listening to we didn't have a lot going on uh i'm not even necessarily mad at him i'm mad at the character i'm mad at reed as a concept that's what's got me fired up this sort of thing really creeps me out i'm done i wish i would have read that message before i took it tonight and i'll just quit tomorrow i mean it hasn't harmed me thus far and i feel great so maybe i'm just being paranoid it's just a symbol probably a printing mistake or something what does that even mean what what does the printer accidentally printed a goat's head in a petticoat i'd be more scared that's already scarier than that that's way worse than someone doing it on purpose hey what the fuck yeah i was i was trying to print out crazy frog but i just printed the cram with baphomet's head what ding ding ding ding ding ding you know you know what now that you've said that that's what i imagine this guy knows this time he said he gets up uh he he doesn't get out of bed he sits up in his bed wipes blood on the blood wall opens up his laptop pulls up crazy frog and then listens to the top gun soundtrack with shades on that's his whole day that's what he needs to stay awake for that i'll you know some grace i'll give the story that i i think i'm reaching here but maybe with his mention of paranoia like looking out the window and stuff like that maybe he wants to stay awake because he's afraid that someone will watch him or come to him when he goes to sleep right so maybe but screw that i'm not messing around with demonic affairs i'm not messing around with demonic affairs i'm not messing around with demonic affairs no way in hell i'll get it hell's capitalized get it hunter get it like hell like the place because now it's demonic get it uh you get it november 6 2014 over the past week i've been taking one of these pills at exactly 10 p.m each night i planned on stopping the pills tonight but around 10 30 i started getting this horrible headache and it got progressively worse i was seeing to suddenly going off necro sleep so i waited another hour and i just couldn't take it anymore i took another pill i know i could quit if i wanted to but i'm starting to think that there's no reason to i mean i don't have to sleep anymore i've been feeling energized i should just man up and stop being irrational yeah yeah you're being irrational now i like this i'm sorry i know it's demonic uh but i'm starting to think there's no reason to i'm starting to think i don't care about that that's fine november 6 2014 november 9 2014 i've been making a killing with all this free time and newfound focus i've made five grand in a single day of trading virtual property that's not including my online poker proceeds over the last week which are through the roof suddenly i have this intuitive grasp of numbers that i never had before i've been living my life in a daze until now they were right this really is changing my life so so it's like he uh it's like a pill or something the limit list pill it's like the hail a stan limitless pill with a little goat on it yeah the slender man limitless pill is what it's pretty much is what this concept is pretty fun also yeah i yeah november 11th november 11th here's a rather peculiar story for you guys i was sitting on the couch minding my own business when i noticed a couple of gleaming eyes staring at me from the dark corner please have horns please be the devil and he just writes it off i thought nothing of it knowing it must have been twigs skulking about oh yeah he had a cat that hasn't come up this whole time i totally forgot about the cat the bald cat yeah he hasn't mentioned it one he set it up in the beginning because there's gonna be some payoff with it dying or being one like one of the headless dogs or whatever but he doesn't mention it until now i thought nothing of it knowing it must have been twigs skulking about cats have reflective eyes who else would it be i looked away and at the very same moment i felt something twigs wrinkly little self curling up next to me i looked back toward the corner speedy eyes still fixed upon me with twig clearly at my side i blinked and the eyes were gone man my brain's really trying to screw with me it had to have been mental yet i remember it was such lucidity come to think of it i should have known it wasn't twig from the start cat's eyes don't glow red red glowing eyes i i can't i'm you know lucidity is a big word for reed That took a lot, and I'm proud of him for that one. Lucidity's a big word for me, too, so me and Reed are in the same boat. Anyways, let's hope it was just a freak brain malfunction. After all, what else could it possibly be? Could it have been my little person neighbor that just snuck into my house? Like, what are you talking about, Reed? Sorry, my brain's kind of. You know, the leprechaun. He keeps asking for my pot of gold, and I'm trying to gamble it away. November 12th, 2014. I'm going to run out of food eventually. Obviously, I could go to the store and restock myself, but the thought scares me. The thought of leaving the safety of my apartment, the thought of social interaction, I now dread it more than I ever have. I never have preferred going out to staying in, but I've never dreaded it this much. I wasn't always so terribly afraid. None of my instant messenger friends have been online lately, and they stopped upvoting my blog post. Who's going to get my groceries if I have to go out there? I shouldn't be panicking like this, honestly. I'm being stupid. Stop panicking, you idiot. I just want to say that that little section of character development or understanding, Reed, is significantly better than anything. Like, even this idea of a guy getting drugs off the dark web and, like, going insane in his apartment. It's more interesting, in my opinion. But, once again, it's not over. I don't know where it's going. Yes. I think, um, I think, third. My brain completely just shot out. I was so checked out of this story. November 13th. Yeah, November 13th. There we go. Thank you. Um, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was more. That was more impactful than any of the demonic hell-like stand stuff that we spent time on or anything like that. November 13th, 2014. My friend Jake came online. It was a temporary relief that lasted about as long as it took him to say. I'm not dropping off the food until you agree to get out of the house. That was his offer. Telling that I'll leave the house and go clubbing with the guys in exchange for help. I declined out of pure fear. He was worried for my health, apparently. I can't blame him for thinking I'm going to die. becoming a feral hermit doomed to die alone in this pathetic slum but he just doesn't understand nobody understands me at least i'm pretty sure i got enough food to last till thanksgiving if i stretch it november 15th i need to tell you all about a strange experience i had yesterday i've been leaving my tv on lately so that the silence doesn't irritate me that children's show bucko's garden was on you know the one we all watched as kids until we were mature enough to realize how mindless and nonsensical it was yeah that show he was playing in the background on my boxy old tv in the corner eventually it distracted me and i found myself zoning out into it for lack of better things to do it must have been a thanksgiving episode considering bucko a guy dressed like a deer with a human face huh bucko's garden's not real right this is made up for the thing i have no idea i can look it up if you want a deer with the no it's not real no um a deer with the hue okay um was in the kitchen preparing sweet potatoes and cranberries this is about as intelligible as the show gets things got a bit weird when he decided to let the anthropomorphic cranberries go into his garden at the last minute as if they were captive insects the sweet potatoes weren't so lucky bucko sent his bird friends to retrieve a pumpkin pie from the pie tree and his squirrel friends to collect gravy from the gravy cow who coincidentally regurgitates mashed potatoes to boot i told you the show was weird but that's not even the start i didn't realize something was off until bucko pulled out a knife a full-fledged razor sharp knife that you wouldn't expect to see in such a benign show with his other hand he opened the oven and pulled it out not a ham not a turkey a roasted human fetus mother of god i couldn't even believe what i was seeing how on earth could this be allowed on television were my eyes deceiving me i don't know but i turned off as soon as he started cutting into it the gore was too much even for me still having a hard time believing what my own eyes clearly saw i couldn't have been dreaming i haven't had so much as a nap in 15 days i just i don't even know you maybe something's wrong with me i've been forgetting my pc login password even after i changed it to something else and wrote it down i forgot where i wrote it down where i wrote it forgot it down i can't even think properly now i like this so much more than the demonic stuff yeah i've been writing down like i'm seeing stuff on tv this is a more interesting thing i've been writing down some stuff but i didn't want to derail the story okay all right november 18th 2014. i'm not gonna lie i'm scared out of my mind right now i walked into the bathroom planning to take my first shower in weeks i never imagined i'd open the door and see anything more than my own reflection in the mirror instead i saw it standing behind me staring completely motionless i froze and panicked more than i ever have in my entire life i swear you don't know true fear you don't even have a clue i can still see it engraved in my mind the face it was demonic it was gone as soon as it came i'd say i was just imagining things but it felt all too real i'm not going into the bathroom ever again i'll just go in the kitchen sink or something i can't handle this i wonder if these pills are screwing with my head i need to stop i need to stop now i don't even feel safe in my own apartment anymore i feel like the shadows are watching me november 20th 2014. i tried to stop the pills again but i had a change of heart at the last minute this is something told me not to like a voice in my head i just feel like it would be wrong and somehow my life would fall apart if i stopped i don't think this is normal the way i'm living but i can't imagine it any other way i can't imagine stepping out into the light or even the moonlight for that matter all of my instant messenger contacts have been offline since jay and i've been in the bathroom for a long time i've been in the bathroom for a long time and i don't know if my food will last another week twig's getting pretty skinny since i've been eating her cat food to stretch my supplies a bit but she'll be okay as long as someone comes online by thanksgiving speaking of which nobody invited me over for thanksgiving dinner not even my family but that's okay i hate my parents anyways screw them uh yeah this is so this is an infinitely better story right now november 22nd 2014. i've been hearing more voices inside of my head horrible voices it's really scaring me and i don't know what to do is it some sort of side effect or something i can't hear myself think sometimes like i'm losing control over my own thoughts and these thoughts i have are so dark it's not like me to think that way i would never hurt anyone it's i'm not like that i tried going to necrosleep.net again just to see if there's something i missed about side effects it said the domain's no longer in use the site was shut down i don't know what to do anymore i'm terrified of myself november 24th knock knock i yelled through the drafty door asking who it was it was my friends jake and douglas apparently they wanted to help me after seeing my blog post of distress but sure enough it was only under the condition that i opened the door and come out very suspicious how do i really know i can trust them i know i've trusted them for years but what if they were just earning my trust so they could pull me out of this situation something more sinister later on what if they give me drug food what if they stab me when i open the door it just occurred to me that i have no real proof that i can trust them i can't even trust myself anymore i don't even know who i am maybe my whole life i've been a sadistic freak and i didn't even know it maybe my true self is just now coming out maybe everyone's evil this is gosh this is so much better this reminds me of uh what's the story of the guy who everyone had been replaced by aliens or whatever yeah and he was in his apartment you know what i'm talking about yeah i can't i can't remember which one it is but i know which one you're talking about psychosis that's it yeah uh this is very similar to psychosis uh yeah yeah i like this a lot more it would be gosh it'd be so much easier if you just took out the same stuff like all mentions of it and then you just throw in earlier in the story there's a blog post where he says something like i i'm afraid of what happens when i go to sleep i'm afraid someone will come just give him a bit more paranoia and let him say something like that on the internet before the invite shows up as if it detected him say something like that you know i think um yeah i have a i have a bunch of stuff written down i'm just gonna wait till the end okay november 25th 2014 the voices won't stop i used to think they were malevolent but now i'm not so sure sometimes it feels like they're trying to liberate me they want me to listen to them desperately they show me things they want me to listen to them desperately they show me things horrible things and yet these things don't seem horrible to me anymore i'm numb i don't feel anything but i know there's one thing i could do to make me feel again part of me says it's terribly wrong but the voices tell me otherwise the voices are friends now the demons are my friends all right final post november 26 2014 twigs in heaven now i had to do it i had to know what it tasted like it was good but it was satisfying but i need more i thought i'd never leave this room again but i don't have a choice anymore i need more of it the face is getting angry the voices are getting angry my head hurts so bad i need more it hurts so much i need more they're hurting me i need to feed them more they need more i need more i have to make it stop i need more i need more make it stop stop police report part one thanksgiving november 27 2014 victim paul murdoch aggressor reed murdoch police arrived on the scene after a frantic 911 call from margaret murdoch confirmed to be the aggressor's mother the victim paul murdoch the aggressor's father was found in the process of being mauled and cannibalized by the aggressor reed murdoch whose face and mouth was covered in blood and brain matter reed was shot dead after refusing to stop eating his own father who skull was torn open entirely drug use is suspected to be involved police report part two november 29th reed murdoch's residence was inspected thoroughly by investigators a hairless headless and disemboweled cat carcass was found on the kitchen counter the cat's blood and bodily fluids were spilled throughout the house while the head was found crushed the brain having been completely removed nowhere to be found the apartment was clearly inhabited by an utterly insane individual given the foul and uncleanly nature of the place an old tv rested in the corner turned on displaying only static and white noise it had no antenna a suspicious packet of unidentified pills was recovered the resident's computer and other personal effects were confiscated and await further analysis okay that's a that's from candle cove but i like that that's awesome that he was watching a static screen but the pill was showing him yeah the actual the the kids show with the blood yeah yeah that's again that's a point pulled from candle cove but i like it autopsy report december 4th 2014. subject reed murdoch the contents of reed murdoch's digestive tract were a disturbing mixture of human tissue mostly brain matter and cerebrospinal fluid examination of his own brain however was even more disturbing and perplexing it was clearly and visibly deteriorating the tissue was black and red rather than the usual pinkish gray and riddled with holes throughout closer examination revealed thousands of small black parasites to be consuming the brain this was undoubtedly the cause of the man's insidious psychosis testing on the parasites was inconclusive as they didn't match any known species further testing is required the unknown pills recovered from murdoch's apartment have been tested and confirmed to contain a vile plethora of uncommon substances including obscure highly addictive euphoric drugs human hormones and parasitic eggs presumably meant to remain dormant in a cool place until introduced into the body allowing them to hatch and eventually invade the brain it's unclear how murdoch acquired the pills and where they came from although whoever concocted them surely had malicious intent police report 3 december 6 2014. two friends of reed murdoch jake fairfax and douglas lopez were questioned at the police station immediately they referred to his online blog where he allegedly recorded his path to eventual insanity it was found that the blog had mysteriously disappeared off the face of the internet for reasons unknown they were aware of the unknown pills reed was taking claiming they originated from the website necrosleep.net investigators later confirmed the website does not exist that is end of necrosleep isaiah i mean like uh at what point i mean we had the we were kind of clowning on it a bit i mean from very early on i was kind of like i don't know i feel like this is one of the few times a story has had shaky ground and kind of course corrected for like kind of stuck a little bit of a landing what do you think yeah it did course correct i think um i think i think the all the demonic stuff weighs it and here's really why the demonic stuff weighs it down so much it's so uninteresting yeah when you make it just demonic but it's not a story about demons or witchcraft or the satanic because then it's like oh well uh the thing that is causing all this is the icon of evil so it doesn't need motivation or purpose or mystery it's just bad it's like the essence of badness is what's doing this so it's like okay well that kind of defeats in anything interesting or in-depth you could do with it if i pretend like the satan stuff doesn't exist then it's very effective i personally really like the detail that the pills were parasite capsules i think that and it's because imagine this imagine they got the weird invite from the website keeps you awake he's super awake then he dies and then they do the investigations he's full of parasites and if we didn't know who sent it that raises all kinds of questions it's like oh is this a group that's trying to maybe create some drug to turn people into psychopaths or maybe this is an occult practice or maybe it's an experiment done by some secret facility to see what the parasites do to people and because they know it keeps them awake but they see if they want to see if there's any side effects before they sell it or you could take so many different options with it but because we have the occult set up which the occult thing doesn't even tie into the satanic setup like why would an occult group just send out parasites to people it makes more sense without that addition um i would imagine this was but i like the idea of the pills being parasites i imagine this was written with the intent that like the occult angle gives it a bit of mystique or it gives it like a it gives it the quote-unquote horror element that maybe the author feel like it feels like it needed you know what i mean like it's the kind of cherry maybe visual is what i would assume i think personally the pills being parasitic or whatever i think it's okay okay i think like um this is this is about the cannibalism this could have been a really um interesting story and of course hindsight's 2020 this is also from you know 12 years ago uh it's a different landscape to an extent but the extreme isolation leading to mental insanity angle i think is um a more interesting character archetype of kind of where i think a lot of people now even with um even with people doing like stay-at-home jobs and it becoming more and more hard for people to communicate with each other um and i think even just the rise of like you know almost like the hikikomori incel kind of uh just like chronically online at home not wanting a lot of actual physical interactions with people isolation and you know uh loneliness like the loneliness epidemic and stuff i think like an angle like that could have done really well with this show and this or with this sorry with the show with this story and i like the format of the story being a person doing blogs it's a person so obviously trying to connect with somebody that they feel like they cannot connect with i think they're kind of like it's like kind of throwing it out into the void even if they aren't consciously trying to like reach out to someone it's like a perfect little setup for somebody actually wanting to have someone connect with them and like understand them in a really fun way where them being in like a you know i was saying like dark web even if it wasn't dark web it's it's it's like another fun and i'm always obsessed with i think i'm like i'm i've been really obsessed with this idea of like um there's that movie that's a remake from the in the 70s i think it's a remake of this movie from the 50s invasion of the body snatchers which is like kind of kind of gives the um it's the theme of a movie being do you really know do you know the people that you surround yourself with is the kind of is the kind of concept or theme of the movie and it's i think that like translates really well today with these people that you're befriending online do you really know who they are and i think like who you associate with and the things that you consume uh albeit media but this could be an actual physical like metaphor for the things that you're consuming that are like rotting your brain or it could be a thing that's like you know becoming the parasite that's growing inside of your head something like that could be kind of cool i mean you know on the surface it sounds a bit maybe stupid but i like my mind was kind of going to those places like oh that'd be kind of fun and then if it is a thing where it's about a guy uh transcribing his insanity trying to like reach anyone through his own means of uh i guess a converse like the way that he would conversate with people which is avoiding outside all of the parts where he was talking about the little peppering of like well i don't prefer not to go outside these little character moments of uh made the character a lot more sympathetic to me of like this is just like a very fragile person who is uh who's like pretty like injured right now has a strained relationship with their family obviously and even the ending i thought it was fun where it's like well then like the only like real victim of the story is his dad to where we're not really given the whole context of like was he actually kicked out i don't know was his parents just kind of like were they trying to like include him into his life but he felt like there's just a lot of stuff that you could really roll uh creatively with these like little hints but all these little character moments make for such a stronger more impactful story in my opinion um but that was just a lot of the stuff i mean i kept writing down stuff like you know just uh when outside sources come in or like basically like if his friends came in if he's going insane all these things if you if you wanted that visual of like oh there's eyes looking at me or something could these be things that your brain is tricking you into thinking you know like are these are these innocent things that are actually in the real world but he has manifested them to be more evil or he can't like see clearly with how far he's gone you know i think like little things like that i think could have been really fun a grounded story into something like that i think is really fun versus it's really um and it's probably just because there's so much of it but it's really hard to stick the landing on a like this is a satanic story just because it's been done so much that it's like just takes that like end out a bit and you're just like oh okay versus uh you know having a fun character story of a clearly socially uh awkward person trying to navigate life and then falling deep into a pit is something i think a lot of people could find relatable and also it's just like a true thing that's like this is like a nice almost like greek tragedy or cautionary tale of uh of that i'm done rambling but i you know yeah i was my mind towards the end really did start being like oh this would be fun this is kind of cool yeah you know and obviously we're too far gone to be able to like course correct entirely but my mind was like oh that's like a fun idea or this is like a fun way we could have gone so all in all you know one of the few times a story has started off and you're kind of rolling your eyes a bit to getting to a place where you're like oh that's that's actually pretty sweet so i'll give it i definitely give it points there i think um this is a very good first draft i think that it needs to lose um the satanic stuff because it defeats any complicated or interesting motivation i think you hype up a little bit more that he wants to stay awake earlier and he makes a blog post about it about why he doesn't want to sleep it's because he's what happens when he does go to sleep i think uh you use the friends a bit more in the story you introduce them as people who come to check on him more often but like you said he refers to their eyes maybe that night he looks at the glass pane and thinks he sees someone looking back he thinks it could be his friend showing that he doesn't even trust his friends i think you mentioned the cat more often i think eating the dad goes a little far but i kind of like eating the cat i feel like that is a step like that's a good last step before he tries to kill people because he's so hungry the cat could be a i think the cat could have been a really great bridge between almost like it could have been something that's like his trust with the outside world or something or like his it's it's the only thing he's communicating to in the story like i think it should have been that should have been yeah how is the the how is the cat almost showing us like the level of insanity of where he's at and even his like distrust in himself or other people yeah because or maybe like near the end when his friends come they're like hey where's the cat and he keeps not addressing it and then you find out he had eaten the cat but yeah i don't know that's like the police report or something i do think giving him more of a reason to be like well why why do i need to cut out the need for sleep what what is it what does he feel like he's missing out on i think would be like a good question to answer um and of course you know listen i mean 12 year old story i think we're just saying this in terms of like uh for anybody who might be writing something now or even just like food for thought of just a thought experiment it's just kind of fun to bridge this together to be like what would make this a good story i think that's a good question like that's just a funner story so yeah yeah of course yeah but i think all in all i think it was interesting uh and i think it has legs i would just like to see it go a little bit further to be a bit more interesting uh because like i said all the hell a stand and occultism stuff just kills any any any potential or imagination for complex motivation it's very simplistic it's hard to land you know and i love that kind of shit i mean i'm always a big sucker for it but the it needs to be there needs to be more like that needs to be a story about it so that you can build on it yeah rather than it being an unrelated story to occultism and you're like oh well the devil as like a as like a throwaway explanation of why it's like we really don't need that yeah and also just in the importance of character and story you gotta care about you gotta i got i you have to have a character where you're like i i want to root for this person or i want to know more about this person and stuff and you know all these things like you're saying of why does the why like all of these like little personal touches of like you know the families there's a conflict between the families there's this this incessant need to never want to go outside like this is an interesting character you're setting up but it ultimately just doesn't take you anywhere where i learned really much about the character besides hey i'm not going to take these pills and then the next day all right i'll take them like that doesn't really hook me um but you know fun idea you know uh but yeah that's our episode for today
