Heya! I'm new to this site too, but not new to reading creepy stuff!

I used to read r/nosleep but their commitment to "suspending disbelief" is not really up my alley. I want to read stories, not RP, so it's just not my thing. But that's not to say it isn't a source for some good reads. It's just not a community I want to engage with.

Honestly, my favorite thing of all time are scary things that really happened. My second favorite wikia would have to be the Unsolved Mysteries wikia. They have archived every episode from the old television show and updated cases if there are updates to give. The Unsolved Murders section is a favorite of mine, but the Unsolved Mysteries section has some really interesting cases that make for good quick reads. They are not short stories by any means, but they certainly are interesting. They have things ranging from The Oakville Blobs to Therapeutic Touch healers, all sorts of things.

I've written a handful of stories inspired by that series (I just really find it compelling). Sometimes I'll find a very interesting case file from that show, I'll throw it into Google or Wikipedia, and I'll find a trove of archived forums or news articles regarding a mysterious murder or disappearance, and then I'll be lost in the net for hours.

I'm looking forward to the suggestions from other people! It's always nice to add to your list of sites for reading :)
