Creepy Pasta Theme Park

(Creepy pasta: The practice of copy pasting stories of horrific and unnerving events to Internet boards in the hope of terrifying readers, since you asked)

It started out simple enough; Internet videos, depicting shots of a normal looking Midwestern town. No sound, save for the blaring audio interference near the end, and then the words ‘come and see’, followed by directions.

Those who find their interest sufficiently piqued will come across a perfectly unremarkable looking town, shrouded in mist. Nothing seems too out of place; the hotel is sparse and uninteresting, the people are normal, if a little quiet and unresponsive, and all in all you might begin to wonder if this was worth your time.

So nothing out of the ordinary…until you find the book waiting for you in your hotel room. A simple notebook, crammed with disturbing sketches and the scrawled words of someone terrified out of his mind, desperate to pass on the secrets…

There are directions and clues to help you uncover the secrets of the town, the places where things not of this Earth can be seen…

• Along a particular brick wall is painted a huge black circle, crossed out with an X. Turn the corner into the alley and walk through the door. The house you’ve entered defies the laws of physics, as twisting passages connect to rooms they shouldn’t, or that you’ve already entered. As you continue you might glimpse ghostly figures out the corner of your eye; here, a man in a pale mask with huge black eyes; there, a tall, faceless and emaciated figure, reaching out for you…

• At a certain time of the day, in an unassuming corner of the public park is a little circus tent, where some rather threadbare pirate puppets put on a show. Head backstage, and find yourself facing a dark cave. From within you can just make out a hoarse whisper; “… you have….to go…inside….”

• There’s the old movie theater, long since abandoned. But should you enter through the back door, you’ll find the camera still rolling, and some of the most disturbing imagery imaginable playing; lost episodes of beloved cartoons and shows, and other films depicting scenes of grotesque horror and mutilation.

• At the cemetery can be found lengths of copper tubing, jutting from the ground here and there. Wait until midnight, and you might find the residents are a little more talkative than should be possible.

• Down the hall in your hotel, there’s a certain room where an extremely pale woman can be seen through the keyhole, sitting in a position of weariness. If you come back later and find the keyhole is blocked by something red, you’ve been noticed…

• Late at night, you might see a huge truck barreling down the street. Hitch a lift with the driver, and you’ll find yourself in the most hellish ride of your life…

There are many secrets to be found here. How long can you stand the knowledge? How long until you break?
