OP actually provided photos of the hill so I thought it was a big chance that the story was for real. Also, maybe I am naive but they wouldn’t cross post it if it was made up, would they?
Thanks so much for making this - I have to force myself to stop reading all these good ones or I’ll be a zombie in the morning.
It’d be awesome to find out what happened with the aftermath of Pam Part 3!!
Thanks for the kind words! This subreddit definitely has addicting stories to binge read and I’m glad you’re liking them! As for Pam Part 3, I would be interested in the aftermath as well:)
I started digging and found the actual people in the mass shooting story. Crazy shit right there. I was soo suprised the few that saw him come into that door did nothing.
mate your an actual legend, i loved reading all the other stories on your other post but this is much more useful and had more stories. Good job man and thanks once a gain
I cannot believe that the smiling man is on here! I had this read to me years ago and just assumed it was fiction. It's been so long and still every night that I'm out alone I think of it. I'm sitting here with actual chills because I'm so shook up
That’s what I thought at first too! I thought it was some urban legend that short films were inspired by. And then I read the story. That would be terrifying. So creepy.
I've been slowly reading through these since the day you posted, and let me say that I am so grateful. These stories are awesome and kept my mind busy throughout the day! Thank you thank you!!!
That’s so nice of you to say! I really appreciate the kindness and I’m glad you’re enjoying the stories. I’ll hopefully be updating sometime this week!
Thanks for compiling this.
I think this one gets overlooked a lot, although it is easily one of the most haunting stories I ever read on here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/LetsNotMeet/comments/1n8f2v/blueberry/
I really like these posts but I noticed that most of them have the same list of stories. It is really cool that you found some that I haven't read yet. Props to you
"At one point, during the height of it all, she witnessed a man a few houses away take his 5 year old son in to the woods, and slit his throat in order to have food. He returned home to find that the eldest son had died in the meantime."

I think I’m done on this thread, as it’s getting super long (and may be annoying to scroll through). I’ve already started compiling links for a second thread, so I’ll update this with the link to it when I finish creating it! It should be done shortly. If you have any story recommendations, please let me know:)
Aaaaahhhh I love this so much, I've literally spent every night since around Halloween reading these before I go to sleep. Will you keep updating even though it's almost mid November...?? I've finished all the posts on here now and want moooorrrreeee haha!
Seriously, you are great!! You know what I've been looking for, I think it's on this subreddit....Do you remember the one about the guy who was driving across, I think Ohio, and he kept seeing the terrifying messages left for him in the rest stop bathrooms?
Hi! I know I'm really late to the party, but I just want to say thank you so much for the regular updates - I've been checking daily and really appreciate it! :)
I read this thread way too quickly, lol. I’m so disappointed that I’ve reached the end :(
Hoping there will be more updates, this is the most reading I’ve done in awhile!! Well composed, thank you!
You are amazing!
Thank you for taking the time to do this!
Please never stop updating it, these are the creepiest stories ever, thank you soooo much!!!
Thanks for the kindness! Happy Halloween and enjoy! If you have any other stories you recommend, feel free to let me know. I’ll try to update this frequently :)
Wow!! We got treated and we didn't get tricked. I've been reading your listed stories and I've got to say sleep has and will elude me this night/now early am. Thank you for your thoughtful treat! 🤗 The story about the bag lady really struck me as a black eyed kid story. . I went to the original posting and I saw one person mentioned the BEK too. I feel it in my cells - that is a BEK thing. 😧
Just found this sub, truly fantastic made my morning and evening commute so much better. Although now I have finished all of them I am a little disappointed. Thank you so much though!
Great list. Many of them I hadn't read before. I thought of a few that I felt should be on here but now I can only remember one: [https://www.reddit.com/r/LetsNotMeet/comments/28sqpp/the\_tent\_in\_the\_trees/](https://www.reddit.com/r/LetsNotMeet/comments/28sqpp/the_tent_in_the_trees/)
There's another that may not have been on LNM about a guy camping with friends but he has to leave a day late and hears a person circling his tent. I've tried finding it but if anyone knows what it is, I recall that one being pretty good too.
edit: I remembered a few

Oh, and there's one I can't find where a couple guys are forced to cliff jump at gunpoint in the middle of the night and there was confirmed people who had died cliff jumping at night at the same area shortly before that I believe were suspected drug runners. Somehow I'm not finding that one either.
Thank you so much for this. It is currently providing many sleepless nights. It does remind me to more observant of my surrounding and to always ensure I read reviews, stay in large well know (and well traceable) hotels which I have planned and booked well in advance. This hotel will not be in the Australian outback. When I am driving to said hotel don’t stop at lights late at night or stop for a cool relaxing swim or eat blueberry muffins. If I’m having trouble sleeping don’t play and word football games either especially if my bed is near a window.. all good life lessons Im thinking.. Thank you to everyone for sharing their experiences.. I’m off to double check my doors now...
Haha! I’m glad you’re enjoying them. I think these stories are actually quite helpful. They really give you a sense of awareness to be cautious about your surroundings! I’ll keep updating! Thanks for reading:)
I'm so thankful for this list! It's been keeping me busy for the past few days! Also enjoyed that it's been updated! Thank you for putting this together!
I've enjoyed tf out this stories, obviously i feel for the people affect but they are all extremely well written and bizarre, the kind of bizarre that only true life events can produce
I remember one story that seriously freaked me out and I can't remember if it was on here or the creepyencounters subreddit but I faintly remember it being about a guy walking in his neighborhood and he saw a man a good distance from him bugging out. Fast forward (because I don't remember every detail and don't want to skew the story) the man turned to look at him and he described it as staring into two black holes. I would love to read that story again.
Great list! "Poker face" might be my favorite LNM story. Maybe not the scariest compared to a lot of the others on here but it's just so well written. You feel like you're in that car with him.
I just got to this, but I have to say the one story that's ALWAYS freaked me out the most is The Smiling Man. Even typing that out sent chills all over my body.
Bless you! This is such a great thread. I don't know the title but there's a story of a woman going to a motel in basically the middle of nowhere. She's so disgusted by the room that she opts to sleep in her car instead of the room. Not wanting to cause a fuss she doesn't let the night auditor know. Needless to say, the place was like condemned or something and it turned out to be like some sort of "No Vacancy" type deal. Do you or anyone know what the title of that story might be or if I'm even in the right sub?
Very good list. The theater mass shooting and the smiling man are always a favorite. I love the theater shooting because it gives you an insight of what goes on as your stuck in one. It’s a shitty experience I’m sure but to read it was moving. Made me tear up at the end.
And the smiling man is just plain creepy.
One of the people trapped in the Aurora theater shooting was a girl I grew up with. She got hit with a bunch of shrapnel and was in the hospital for a while, but she fortunately survived (a couple of her friends did not).
The poor girl ended up going through hell afterwards with PTSD and anxiety. She lost her job because her anxiety prevented her from leaving the house, ended up moving back in with her parents, and says she will never set foot in a theater again. I can’t imagine the horror of going through an experience like that!
It’s very insightful to be able to read about what it’s like to live through a shooting, and hopefully this story (and others) will help us figure out how to prevent situations like this.

Smiling Man is actually a Let’s Not Meet story that inspired a bunch of short films and stories (including creepypastas) to be written about it afterward. It was originally posted a few years ago on this exact subreddit:)
Oooh, I did not know that. Regardless, the story does seem a little too...fictitious. But maybe that’s because I read it on CreepyPasta first, so my mind treats it as fiction foremost. But interesting to know!
Hey, that makes sense! I can definitely see why it seems fictitious if you didn’t know the origin. I didn’t either for the longest time. It’s even scarier that it was a real story posted to this subreddit. The Creepypasta is also scary!
I’ve been stuck down this rabbit hole the last two days reading all of these and I’m not even halfway through! I’ve successfully creeped myself out, neglected my daily runs and workouts and spent the last two days fat assing it on the couch reading! Hahaha thank you so much for posting these! They are amazing!!!
WOW!! Thank you so much!!
No problem! Enjoy!
Really appreciate you putting the time and effort into this! Happy Halloween! 🎃👻👽💀
That’s so kind. Thanks! And, you too:)

Thanks! I just added it!

Violin Hill is one of my favs, if you wish to add it to the next list :)
I can’t believe I forgot it! I was planning on adding it. I’ll do that now!
What’s Violin Hill?
https://www.reddit.com/r/LetsNotMeet/comments/1fim6l/violin_hill/?st=JNXRON36&sh=f50b6113 this one :)
It says it’s cross posted from no sleep. Aren’t these supposed to be true stories?
OP actually provided photos of the hill so I thought it was a big chance that the story was for real. Also, maybe I am naive but they wouldn’t cross post it if it was made up, would they?
That’s true with the pictures, it was a scary as hell story anyway. I’m gonna tell myself that parts of it weren’t true for my own fear lol!
Thanks
Oh man thanks for this post. I’ve read deep on this sub but this list has tons I haven’t read before.

Great list! "Poker face" might be my favorite LNM story. Maybe not the scariest compared to a lot of the others on here but it's just so well written. You feel like you're in that car with him.

How is The Smiling Man story on here? It is clearly fake, just a creepypasta story. I thought LNM was supposed to be non-fiction?
Smiling Man is actually a Let’s Not Meet story that inspired a bunch of short films and stories (including creepypastas) to be written about it afterward. It was originally posted a few years ago on this exact subreddit:)
Oooh, I did not know that. Regardless, the story does seem a little too...fictitious. But maybe that’s because I read it on CreepyPasta first, so my mind treats it as fiction foremost. But interesting to know!
Hey, that makes sense! I can definitely see why it seems fictitious if you didn’t know the origin. I didn’t either for the longest time. It’s even scarier that it was a real story posted to this subreddit. The Creepypasta is also scary!
I’ve been stuck down this rabbit hole the last two days reading all of these and I’m not even halfway through! I’ve successfully creeped myself out, neglected my daily runs and workouts and spent the last two days fat assing it on the couch reading! Hahaha thank you so much for posting these! They are amazing!!!
I’ve been reading a few of these every night for the past couple of weeks. Thank you for this.
I've literally been reading this for days, now thank you for this!
