You hear stories, on TV, or sometimes you over hear something in a public place. People talk about ghosts and aliens, and you think to yourself, ‘That isn’t real. They’re making it up, or they’re mistaken, or they’re crazy,’ or something like that. You just can’t believe it.”

Bonus South Dakota story because this one is great too.
Never Answer The Door At Night
An excerpt: “My father grew up on an Indian reservation in South Dakota. It is a place with few trees and even fewer people, and there has been little development since the place was settled many, many years ago. The people live in clusters of nearly uniform houses that were built by the government, and the only place to go shopping or see a movie is nearly two hours away. It’s hot in the summer, cold in the winter, and sometimes the wind blows for days without letting up. Even now, the people there have to be tough to survive. You look out for your friends, you help your neighbors, and you don’t forget your family.”
And with that, there’s a knock at the door.

Not so much a creepypasta as a real journal begun in 2001 by a caver known only as “Ted.” The cave in question is commonly believed to be the Interstate Cave in Utah. As Ted and his fellow cavers go deeper things get weirder and weirder. This is a truly incredible story and you shouldn’t miss it.
