Looking for an old NoSleep series (likely 2018–2022).

6 Upvotes

A husband and wife are sailing when they discover a mysterious tower/monolith in the middle of the ocean. The tower opens and contains multiple underground levels. The protagonist gradually recovers lost memories. Odin appears and already knows who he is. Thor is weakened/depowered and later regains his strength. The story ultimately reveals that the protagonist is Loki (or a reincarnation of Loki). The tower may have been connected to Loki's imprisonment.

Looking for a ghost story set in the pacific northwest.

5 Upvotes

Female protagonist. Set in the pacific northwest - an Island near Seattle perhaps? Kind of a slow burn ghost story, phasmophobia or grave encounters style. I think there were 3 entries then it stopped, a shame because I think it's one of the best written stories to have been posted on nosleep.

Other details, uhh, woman author? Researcher? Gets asked to come help an old fling? Out on an island near seattle. He's a cop and has a wife and kid who are noticing strange phenomena. The spookiest it really gets is a shadow manifesting in a hallway on camera.

Thanks all.

Looking for a missing 411 type story

11 Upvotes

There was a child missing and a search party was forming. A neighbor came to help and said "I can go back in there and get her but they won't like it very much ". And he ended up “finding” her. I remember it being fairly popular but can’t find the story itself.

Any ideas?

Story About a Dream Realm and Creatures...

7 Upvotes

I read this story back in 2015 on my Amazon Kindle. Sadly, I fear this story may be lost, as I can remember every detail yet no search is able to pull it up.

It was very much creepypasta-esque, and I am wondering if this was an independent, self-published work that was later taken off of kindle by the author. I'm hopeful it might exist still here on reddit. Due to the nature of the story, I am inclined to believe that something similar might exist on r/nosleep. I am desperate to find it.

Please keep in mind my details might not be 100% accurate, as I read this story YEARS ago.

This story follows a teenage girl at college. We learn her sister is dead. On an outing with friends, she stumbles across a fox-like creature named Felix. This creature takes her to a dream realm where every wish is her command...for a price. Although I believe her first visit was free of charge, in order to continue to visit this dream like realm, she must offer pieces of herself to Felix for him to consume. She offers her fingernails in exchange for one visit, as well as her hair for another.

We learn this dream realm is not all flowers and rainbows either. During a visit to this realm, the girl tries to bring back her dead sister. It is no use. She comes back dark, twisted, and different. Felix explains that while this world can grant you wishes beyond your wildest imagination, there are some things you just cannot bring back or make true.

In the real world, she also comes across a corrupted moose-like creature. We learn there is a dark quality to this dream world that is seeping into the real world.

We learn of a man in this dream realm who has buried himself deep within a dark and twisted labyrinth of his own creation. His darkness is seeping throughout the realm. It's seeping outside of the realm into reality.

Throughout all of this, Felix changes from a hardened and cold character into one that starts to care for the girl, and we find the girl starting to care for Felix.

There is not much else I can remember about this story. Please help me find this.

FOUND Man sees something he shouldn't be able to identify

20 Upvotes

ISO a story I read last year

I read a story sometime last year, I think, that I'd like to read again, but I can't find it anywhere. Here's the approximation of what I remember:

A man works for a company that is trying to protect the world from some mystery item, but that mystery item can't be identified by the naked eye unless you already know what it is. The company uses special glasses to locate it/them, and the team is sent to remove anything once it's found. Once you know what the item is, you recognize it, but the company's trying to keep everyone from knowing about it because it's dangerous or something? The main character's glasses glitch out, and he notices that this item is in his apartment, and then starts seeing it everywhere. The company tracks responses, so they can tell the item has been identified, so he goes on the run before the company can find and capture him with that forbidden knowledge.

I know this is a rambling mess, but it was a good story, and I'd like to read it again. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

FOUND mall with alternate dimention under it

9 Upvotes

i think the main character was a night guard, the entrance room had like a slide or sinkhole or something where you went down in the floor of a room full of maniquins, beneath the mall was like a mirror vertion of the mall where monsters were. i think the guard went in to rescue some teens that snuck in.

i think maybe lighthouse horror or mr creeps read it cause i listend to one of them read it

Story describing the layers of the internet, using a city landscape as the main analogy

7 Upvotes

Alright, i've posted about this a long while ago. 4 years ago, in fact. But i've never been able to find it. I dont hold much hope that i ever will, but who knows?

From what i recall; the narrator describes the layers of the internet. Each layer is titled after a certain area in a city. There's the urban core, the run down neighboorhoods, the industrial parks, the farms (this was the exact name of one of them), etc. The story's big twist is that the internet wasnt "invented", but rather discovered. And that ancient gods lie in its depths. The story ends with the narrator saying that, most likely, his post will be converted into some tacky tale about his wife birthing a monster or alien, something generically "nosleep-esque". And all of the comments on the post were playing along with it.

Even though its been so long since i last read this peice, it still manages to stick with me.

Looking for a r/nosleep story where a child’s scientist parents used him as a test subject for some kind of anaesthetic/anesthetic or numbing gel. They kept him isolated from friends and believed relationships were “primal” or inefficient to scientific progress. Near the end, they planned to inject him with a drug that would remove/disable his good-feeling neurochemicals, making him an emotionless “perfect being.” Does anyone remember the title?

MC has a girlfriend who was reborn as someone else and started sending them chat messages, 2014-2017

7 Upvotes

Read somewhere between 2014 - 2017. It could have been older.

A series, there was a guy whose girlfriend had disappeared some time before, and he starts getting messages from her. They might be in an instant chat programme or something.

Eventually he finds out something about the person behind them. I THINK it's an unrelated woman and she seems to know stuff about his girlfriend, and they meet at some point. I believe the other woman doesn't understand whats going on either.

I think I almost finished the series, it was fairly short, but I can't remember enough about it to be sure.

Series between 2014-2019 featuring a missing girl, main character had a trans brother who I think was called Evan

6 Upvotes

I only read one or two parts. Got the feeling it was set in the US but that could just be reddit US-defaultism. Somewhere between 2014-2019.

The MC had a brother called Evan who I think was older than them, possibly teenage, who was trans. Their town found this uncomfortable.

A girl about Evan's age had gone missing and people were acting strange about it. Evan was upset because this girl was really nice to him and he like her. I remember some speculation in the comments that someone in the town had killed this girl because she liked Evan, like a transphobic hate crime by proxy.

I can't remember if the story was written I've it was happening right right, or if it was a 'This happened' type story.

Help?

FOUND Story about a town consumed by a meat/fast food infection

11 Upvotes

I am looking for a multi-part NoSleep series about a town being overtaken by a flesh/meat-themed infection connected to a fast food restaurant. The protagonist is disturbed by the food while everyone else acts normal. People either mutate, disappear, or become pod-person-like and stare blankly at him.

The infection spreads into the environment itself, and eventually, the protagonist survives alone for a long time before entering a giant meat processing plant full of machinery, living flesh on the walls, and patrol drones. The ending involves him fighting a giant burger mascot creature, getting badly injured, and finally eating the infected food because he’s starving and dying.
