Talk:Ted the Caver/@comment-26853223-20150804041439

This is the best Creepypasta I've ever read.

I really feel like most of the people who complain about its length, or the technical information, are A) probably too accustomed to crap like Jeff the Killer, and B) probably not people who have ever gone caving, or scuba diving, or been in situations where it's pretty much just you, your environment, and your equipment and training between you and serious injury or death.

For me, the realism of this story is what hooked me, along with that dash of supernatural. I've BEEN in tight spots like that, with no easy way to move, tons and tons of rock on top of you, and no way to react or defend yourself should anything happen. The idea of doing it over and over, when you already know *something* is waiting beyond, is truly creepy.

The author clearly has been caving, clearly knows his stuff.

The only thing I wish I could change is, like Ted, I wish there were resolution. Don't get me wrong, from the STORY's perspective I totally understand leaving it open like that. But the realism angle took a bit of a hit when all of these people leaving messages and calling and stopping by never discover the journal entries, figure out where they went, and give us some sort of closure as to what happened. Yeah, it's a bit of a trope, akin to found footage. But part of me still wishes for it.

But anyway, yes...best Creepypasta I've read so far, thank you :)
